The plaintiff had been engaged in January, 1847, and served until the Bth of April, 1848, on which day he was dismissed by defendant. The action before Lord Denman was brought for salary up to the Bth of April, and a compensation in damages for wrongful dismissal. The special jury gave 50/. damages for the dismissal, and were about to give him further damages, when Mr. Perters dorff said that the particulars of demand did not go beyond the 23d January. Another action was brought, which was tried before Mr. Justice Erle, when the jury returned a verdict for 51. 17s. 6d. . Mr. HUMERZY now applied for a rule to show cause Why that verdict should not be increased by the sum of 431. ss. 9d. The Court took time to consider. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAY 30.—A telegraphic dispatch from Warsaw states that his Majesty the Emperor of Russia has placed the Russian corps d'armee, com manded by Lieutenant-General Ganjiatin, under the command of Field J.larshal Welden. The Emperor of Austria, in a letter to the Minister of War, F.M. Van Cordon, has commissioned that general to take immediate steps for ascertaining the names of the officers and soldiers who fell at Ofen, in order that the widows and orphans of all those who there met with their heroic death may be provided for, with as little delay as possible. The Weiner Zeitung in an article this day com pletely exonerates the Government fromtbecharge of having suppressed the extra supplement which con tained the non•official accounts of the fall of Ofen. The editor says, that so great was the demand for this extra supplement that the edition of 8,000 which was taken off was soon exhausted, and the office was therefore closed. The Wiener Zeitung says, that the above re port was the more greedily Circulated because it seemed to hold out a hope that the fatal intelligence might not be cfficially confirmed. The article con cludes with saying, the loss of the position of the Imperialists at Ofen can have no decided influence on the result of the operation of the army. This, as the Cologne Gazette observes, is an absurd way of imparting comfort, for the moral impression of the loss of Ofen is of immense importance. We learn from Weis-birchen that the Maygars have beaten the battalions of Puchnies' corps d armee. From Orsowa, we hear that the remnant of the ex hausted troops wers beaten and dispersed, and had fled—come to Wallachia, and some to Servia. The Cologne Gazette says that the confusion which prevails in every department in the Go vernment in Austria is evident from the new press law, which Jellachich has just issued, on his own responsibility, for Croatia and Sclavonia. Although the jMinistry at Olmutz pro mulgated such a law for the whole Monarchy, Jellachich made nothing of setting it aside, because he considered it too weak in some points and too strong in others for his people." Ac cording to the new law of the Ban, every political journal which appears more than three times a-week must give security fur 2,000 guilders three times a week 1,000, and once or twice a- week, 500. The Ban has also given a totally different meaning to the "Lease Majesty" than its definition by the Ministry. Ile has also adopted a new title, for he signs his decree Jellachich Ban and Dictator. SCIILESW IG-HOLSTEIN. KIEL, MAY 30.—The English war steamer Ilecate arrived here this afternoon and dropped anchor in the harbour. As she passed Friedrich ores she received a brisk fire ; this was attributed by some to her neglect to salute the German slag which was hoisted there, and by others to the fact that she had not obtained permission to run into the harbour. The commander of the vessel immediately made complaints through the English Consul to the civic authorities respecting this unwarrantable procedure. The state of affairs here appears to take a turn from the known fact that the Danes will now pro bably be assailed. by the Russians. ITALY. The Austrian Admiral Dahierup bombarded An cona on on the 24th, 25th, and 26th ult. Letters from Turin of the 30:h ult. state that the King was completely out of danger. A strange re port circulated in that capital. A note of the Aus trian Cabinet was said to have reached on the pre ceding day, summoning the Piedmontese Government to deliver into the hands of the troops of Radetzky, the fortresses situate along the French frontier, and the city of Genoa. A Cabinet Council was imme diately convoked which lasted eight hours. The result of its &liberation had not transpired, but no reply had yet been returned to the pretension of Austria. The Positivo, of Rome, of the 24th ult., contains the fullwing:— " Perons, usually well informed, state that the King of Naples had bitterly complained to the Pope of his tryietment in the Papal States, where, according to the plan concerted at Gaeta, the Neapolitan troops were to be supported by the French army. Cadinal Antonelli having observed to the King that Gen. Oudinot had in his prdclamation, recognised the right of the Roman people to choose the' form of Government they pleased, the Holy See had thought prop , r to protest against certain expressions of that document, calculated to impair the sovereign rights of the Pope. A copy of that protest had been sent to. General Oudinot, at Civita Vecchia, and another to the President of the Republic at Paris. It is no doubt in cons* quence of that measure, the French General did not combine his operations with those of the King of Naples. The King felt grratly annoyed at those explana tions, and wondered that such a protest had been concealed from I im. He then represented to the Pope the losses and dishonour it had entailed on his army, and said that if he had known that he was not to be supported by the French, he should not have embarked with so small a force in the expedition. The Pope is said to have been so mortified by the remonstrances of the King, that he resolved immediately to quit Gaeta, and to retire to Avignon, in France, the former residence of the popes. " The Triumvirs bad published a decree, ordering the country people, who had come into Rome to assist in constructing barricades, to return to their homes. Those who should be found in Rome twenty-four hours after the publication of the decree were to be arrested and conducted by force to their respective localities." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented some peti tions against the Scotch Registration Bill for Births, Deaths, and Marriages. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented several peti tions in favour of protection. - NAVIGATION-LAWS REPEAL BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in consequence of the absence of the Bishop of Oxford, postponed the motion for the third reading of the Navigations-laws Repeal Bill to to-morrow se'ncight. The NOBLE MARQUIS also laid upon the table certain additional papers relating to the affairs of the Punjaub. TURNPIKE TRUS I'S (SCOTLAND) BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. EDUCATIONAL GRAN r. Lord STANLEY, in presenting a petition on the au* ct of the distribution of the educational grant, asked if the correspondence between the prelates and the Privy Council had been brought to a close? The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE said that the cor respondence could scarcely yet be said to be closed; but pr , positions ' had been made, to which he believed the Right Rev. Prelates were inclined to accede, and before any great length of time should have elapsed, he would lay the correspondence beforl the House. The Bishop of LONDON said the correspondence was carried on between the Government and the Com mittee of the National Society, but although many of the members of the Church were members of that Com mittee, yet that Committee could not be said to represent the Church; neither was the Church bound by their acts. He was not one of those who entertained the apprehensions which others entertained w i t h regard to the regulations of the Privy Council, but he regretted to state that he feared those apprehensions had not yet been allayed. LEASEHOLD TENURE_ OF LAND (IRELAND) - _ . • BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the order of the day for receiving the report on-this Bill. Lord 13 . EAU&ON F, who had given notice of some amendments to this bil!, requested that the bringing up of the report might be postponed until to-morrow, as he expected to have an interview with some parties from Ireland on this subject. Lord CAMPBELL suggested that the amendments should be proposed on the third reading. Lord STANLEY thought an opportunity should be given to discuss this Bill thoroughly. It interfered ma terially with the property of the Irish Society, and they had had no opportunity of being heard on the subject. The Bill offered them a small compensation, which they did not want, but it deprived them of a great moral in fluence which they had long beneficially exercised for the protection of their tenants. Lord CAMPBELL said that his Noble Friend the Lord Chancellor had anxiously considered the clauses of the Bill, and that ample opportunity had been afforded to the Irish Society to bring forward their case. Lord BROUGHAM said he had presented a petition from the Irish Society against the Bill. They prayed to be heard by counsel against the Bill. A more meritorious class of landlords did not exist in Ireland than the Irish Society. The Earl of WICKLOW said that the Bill had already been discussed on two occasions, and that the Lord Chancellor had expressly alluded to the case of the Irish Society. Lord STANLEY said that one of those discussions had taken place after a debate on the Navigation Laws, and when there were only four Peers present. Lord BEAUMONT only asked for a postponement to to-morrow. He would ask for no further delay. Lord CAMPBELL would consent to postpone it until to-morrow. The Earl of LUCAN moved that it be referred to a Select Committee up stairs. Lord CAMPBELL objected to refer the Bill to a Select Committee. Lord BEAUMONT hoped' the Noble Earl would not press his motion, but would wait until he heard the state ment made on bringing up the report to-morrow. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE trusted the House would not adopt the unprecedented Motion of the Noble Earl, which had been brought forward without notice. The Marquis of SALISBURY supported the motion for referring the Bill to a Select Committee. Lord. MONTEAGLE considered that after his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Campbell) had consented to all that had been asked in postponing the Bill, the propo sition of the Noble Earl was quite unprecedented. Lord STANLEY advised his Noble Friend not to press his motion, but be hoded the Noble and Learned Lord would consider the propriety of referring the Bill to a Committee, in order to give the parties who sup. posed themselies aggrieved, au opportunity of being heard. The Earl of LUCAN withdrew his motion, and the order of the day for bringing up the report was post poned until to-morrow. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. Lord MON rEAGLE rose to present a petition from the shareholders of the Caledonian Railway complaining of the misappropriation of the funds of the company which had been invested in speculations with other companies by the directors. (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1819. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker took the Chair shortly before Four o'clock. CONSIDERATION OF LORDS' AMENDMENTS.

Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition from the repre sentatives of various towns in Scotland assembled at Edinburgh against the Health of Towns (Scotland) Bill. Sir E. INGLIS presented a petition from Pontefract against the Marriage Bill. Mr. C. LUSIIINGTON presented petitions from St. Paul's, Covent garden, and St. James's, against Sunday trading. Mr. RICE presented petitions from Dover, ilythe, and other places, for a further grant of licenses to beer houses. Mr. L. HEYWORTH presented a petition from a place in Gluueestershire in favour of Parliamentary reform. Mr. SLANEY presented a petition from Shrewsbury praying that trading in seduction might be put an end to. Mr. H. J. HOPE presented a petition from Glouces ter against the increase of beer shops. Viscount JOCELYN presented a petition from King's Lynn, praying fur the abolition of the punishme, t of death. Mr. IJurrE at this period entered the House for the first time since his illness, and in doing so was most enthusiastically cheered. PALACE COURT. Mr. BERNAL, seeing his Noble Friend the Member for blmrylebone in his place, wished to know what course he intended to purue with respect to the Palace Court. Lord DUDLEY STUART begged to say that he had not given any notice of motion with respect to the subject : hitherto he had contented him self with moving for returns. With regard to these returns, they were not yet laid on the table, but he understood they would ba in a short time. Not long ago he had put a question to the Attorney-General inquiring whether it was the in tention of the Government to do away with the Palace Court. The answer he had received was certainly no; very explicit, but it led him to suppose that the Govern ment had in contemplation a measure of that sort. If the Governm ,, nt did not bring in a Bill on the subject, he could assure the Hon. Member that he would do his best to bring in a measure on the subject, and he trusted he should be supported by his Hon. and Gallant Friend. CANADA. Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice for a future evening, that on going into Committee of Supply he should call the attention of the House to the recent Act to provide compensation for rebellion losse ,, in Canada. COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. _ _ _ The Marquis of G,TtANBY wished to ask the Lord Advocate whether it was his intention to embrace, in his Medical Bill, or by any other means, to make an altera tion in the existing charter of the Royal College of Sur geons of England, as well as of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by which the grievances that the great body of its members have complained of, and pe titioned against, shall be redressed? The LORD ADVOCATE said it was not intended to propose any alteration of the Royal College of Sur geons, but it would be neces/ary to make an alteration in the charter of the Royal College of Physicians, which would be embodied in the Bill. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Mr. 11011SMAN said, perhaps the Noble Lord at the head of the Government could now explain the course he intended to pursue with reference to the Ecclesias tical Commission Bill, and the Bishopswearmouth rec tory. Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the Eccle• siastical Commission Bill, he proposed on Friday to ask the House to go into Committee pro furma, and then to introduce an amended Bill to meet the views of parties who had objected to portions of the present measure. With regard to the second question, the draft of a Bill on the subject was now before the Law Officers of the Crown, and he expected to be able to introduce it in a few days. ARTS AND SCIENCES. Mr. EWART, adverting to a grant made last year, and proposed to be renewed this year, for general edu. cational purposes connected with the arts and sciences, _trusted some viva voce statement would be made by the Riglit-llotr. Secretary for the Home Department as to the manner in which the - money had been appropriated. Sir G. GREY said the subject was more within the province of the Board of Trade than the Home-office, but he believed the information the Honourable Gentleman required might he found in the blue book prepared by the Council of Education, and laid before the House a short time ago. Mr. EWART said it was difficult to get at informa tion that was buried in a blue book.—(A laugh.) What he wished was that a statement should be made to the House on the subject by some member of the Govern ment. CEYLON. Mr. lIUME gave notice, that on going into Committee of Supply on Monday, he should move a resolution to the effect that the time had arrived when the public expen diture of Ceylon and British Guiana ought to be reduced, and means taken to establish efficient governments in those colonies. THE SUFFRAGE. Mr. F. O'CONNOR, on behalf of the lion. Member for Rochdale, who was unable to attend from illness, wished to ask the Hon. Member for Montrose, whether it was his intention to bring forward his motion relative t' the suffr ge to morrow. If so, he was authorised by the Hon. Member for Rochdale to withdraw his amend ment. Mr. FIUME said it was his full intention to do so. Mr. F. O'CONNOR begged lcave then to withdraw the amendment of his Hon. Friend the Member for Rochdale. CANADA. Mr. IIERRIES asked the Neble Lord to explain how it was that some documents connected with Canada had been omitted from the papers laid before the House, be cause they were too voluminous. Were they omitted by the authorities in Canada, or by the Colonial-office in making up the papers? Mr. HUME said that before the question of the Hon. Member for Oxford was answered, and before the motion came on of which he had given notice, he thought that it was necessary that the several papers respecting the viirious expenses incurred by these losses , should be lad upon the table of the House. The House had a right to know what these expenses arose from, and how the progress of the contest had increased their amount—and he also de sired to know what papers the Government were in possession of that had not been laid on the table of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL said that all the documents which had been received from Canada had been laid on the table of the House. Mr. GLADSTONE said that all the documents in the possession of the Colonial-office during his presi dency over it had been published. THE PALACE COURT. Mr. OSBORNE wished to ask the Attorney-General whether any steps had been adopted for abolishing the nuisance of the Palace Court?—(Hear, hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the neces sary communication had been entered into with her Majesty's Steward of the Household, and the only ques tion, he believed, which remained to be settled, was one of compensation to the officers of the court.—(Loud Cheers.) Mr. OSBORNE—Then am I to understand that a bill will be brought in during the present session for the abolition of the court? Will a Bill be brought in this session?—Clear, hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—There was mac to consider; he could not say. It was impossible to say whether the bill would be brought in. —(Oh.) Mr. JOHN CONNELL suggested that a similar Bill should be brought in to abolish the Attachment Courts in Ir, land. The matter then dropped. INCUMBERED ESTATES eIRELAND) BILL. On the motiost for the third reading of this Bill, Sir L. O'BRIEN said, that this was a Bill for neither more nor less than hurrying the incumbered estates in Ireland into the market, and as the names of the pro posed Commissioners had been refused he should move that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. Colonel DUNNE, in rising to second the motion, pro tested against the allegation that Irish landed proprie tors had not done their duty by their tenantry in pro viding employment for them, and said that the real truth was, more had been done for the labouring inhabitants in Ireland in that way, than in any other part of the United Kingdom. Ile denied that the encumbered condition of property was the cause of the poverty and distress which now existed in most of the unions of Ireland, and attributed those evils to the poor-law, and to the manner in which it was administered by the Government. In one union in the county of Galway, there was scarcely an encum bered proprietor, although it was the scene of distress and misery. It had been alleged that the difficult transfer of property was another cause of the evil; but, on examining the facts of the case, he found that there had been a great deal of exaggeration upon this head. From a return it appeared that property amounting to 700,000/. was under the care of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, but that included the es tates of lunatics and minors. The entire va luation of property in that country as dated by Lord Rosse was twenty millions, but of that, scarcely a twenty-eighth part was under the custody of the Lord Chancellor. Ho mentioned those facts because it had been asserted that a fourth and even two-thirds of the whole property was under the guidance of the masters which was agross exaggeration. In other countries where the transfer of property was perfectly free, there was to be found embarrasment equally great to that of Ireland. Fifty per cent. of the whole land of France changed hands within ten years after the revolution in 1790, and though now it was in the possession of five million and a half of families, the debt upon it amounted to two-thirds of its value. He therefore, thought the representations with respect to the division of property in Ireland was extremely incor rect. He admitted that it was difficult to find a pur chaser at the present moment for land; in one instance an estate was put up three times for sale in Mr. Brook's office within one year, and yet it was impossible to get a bid for more than three years' purchase. He would like to know whether the object of this Bill was to get rid of the proprietors of Ireland, without giving them full value for their estates? What was it to Irishmen if the ILuse removed the landlords of the people of Ireland. and planted the most thriving colony in their country? If the people of Ireland went to'Americe the feelings and sympathies of their landlords would go with them. The House had passed confiscation after confiscation bill, and tried similar bills to that before the 'louse, and the state of the country, after seven years of that kind of legislation, was nearly as bad as in the time of Elizabeth. If the Irish people went to America, the landlords became Ametican people a'so. The Hon. Member concluded by supporting the motion of his Honourable Friend, that the bill be read a third time that day six months. Mr. GROGAN said this was the most Algerine Bill which had ever been proposed to Parliament. It was proposed to give a controul over property in Ireland which no English proprietor would ever submit to fur a moment. For that reason, he would vote against the third reading of this Bill. Mr. NAI'IER said he would state to the House the grounds on which ho thought this Bill ought not to pass. He concurred in many of the objects of the framers of this Bill. On consideration he thought it would be admitted that two classes of machinery would be required for carrying out this Bill, namely, both adnainistrave and judicial machinery. Ile admitted that the Court of Chancery in these matters was susceptible of improvemement, that greater facilities ought to be given, but he contended that its powers ought not be superseded. Was it likely that professional men in Ireland, whose professional acquire ments were considered equal, if not greater, than those of the Lord Chancellor, would forsake their profession to take an appointment of five years with a salary of 7,000/. a yeer.—(Hear.) They might call it romance or anything they liked; but if these Commissioners were to be' empowered to make rules, as was stated in the all, they would endanger the safety of the pro perty with which they might deal, since it would be removed beyond the scope of the law of the lard, than which nothing could be more dan gerous. Besides they would supersede the supervision of the Lord Chencellor and the Master of the Rolls. Again, they did ;not know who the Commis sioners were to br ; they were to be subject, it was true, to the control of the Privy Council, in which there were bishops and other persons, but the Council had the power to act as they thought proper, for they would not be bound by any laws. And this they were going to deal with the whole property of Ireland, which, though much reduced in value, had, in many cases, been obtained by honest industry. He thought the provisions of the Bill most useless and uncalled-for, and he should therefore vote for the amendment. It was not a wise course of Government to be continually introducing new measures on this sub ject to supersede others in existence, because it served only t - shake public confidence in the administration cf justice. He did think that a special jurisdiction in Ire land was neither more nor less than imposition, and the way in which they were treating Ireland was an insult to the country. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to examine seriatim those clauses which regulated the sale of estates, and the application of the funds to the public expenses of the district. his firm belief that the Bill would be made a means of derrauding the local revenue. —(Bear.) Why could they not deal with property in Ireland as they dealt with land here, as they dealt with it under the Laud Clauses Bill.—Clear, hear.) Why, he asked again, should they have a separate jurisdiction for property in Ireland. It it was shown that the Court of Chancery was incompetent to deal with it, he would grant that some cause was made out for the establishment of an additional juris diction, but no such cause had been or could be made out; and be repeated, therefore, that this Bill was neither more nor less than an insult to Ireland. There was plenty of property for sale in Ireland, but it could not be disposed of except only at a few years pur chase. As to the particular measure, he would say that they were not justified in going beyond what the ne cessities of the case actually required ; and if they did, they would perpetrate a great injus tice upon that country. Excessive powers were given to the Commissioners appointed under the Bill, but they were relieved of all responsibility, and would not, in certain cases, even be subject to a writ of mandamus. He objected to this Bill as there it was made a special case against the whole of Ireland; throwing the whole property of Ireland under the control of Commissioners. Mr. SADLEIII had the misfortune to take a very dif ferent view of he measure before the House from that of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman who had preceded him. To the principle of the Incumbered Estates Act of last session, as reflected in its preamble, he had given an unqualified support, though he objected to _ome of its details. His Hon. and Learned Friend took a very narrow view of the Bill before the House. Ho seemed to think in passing this Bill, the House would be destroying avastdealoft had knownheproperty- inl w re h la a n t mdv;l;:tthief practices of and Learned Friend of the Master's office in Ireland, ho would have to come to a very different conclusion. (LEFT SPEAKING.)

Forecast and the merest prudence would obviate this - to a vast extent. The mass of the people possess-no capital save their labour, and the susten ance which it produces may the next moment be im paired or taken away altogether. It becomes therefore the absolute duty of the poorest man to provide, in however alight a degree, for the support of himself and his - family in that season of helplessness which Comes upon men - when they least cx• Fret such a vigtation: The curtailment of some slight enjoyment—a glass of beer, or a " screw" less a day— would enable a man of twenty-five years of age to provide, by the aid of those humane establishments which have been formed for the accomplishment of so much good— the assurance offices of the metropolis-501. to his family on his death, or a small annuity when he reaches a given age. The assurance of life has b, en esteemed by the igno rant a luxury, which the opul , nt classes alone could purchase. It is obvious, from what we have said that not only is life assurance within the means of the humblest mechanic, but that from the precarious nature of their subsistence and the poverty which their"decease would entail upon those they must leave behind them, it is more incumbent upon them to make some provision, however small, for tho future, than any other class of society ! The man whose thoughts do not extend beyond the mere gratification of the wants of the day is on a par with the mere animal ; forecast shows the mastery over the lower passions of our nature; it is our duty, therefore, to exercise it to the best of our ability; and, as we have said, there are few who cannot do so. Life Assurance, let it be borne in mind, is a barricade thrown up against the foul fiends—want and misery! Again—but a small portion Of the industrious classes seem alive to the fact that few homes arc worth more than the amount of the accumulated rent for ten years. By becoming a member of a building and investment society he may buy a house outright for the ten year.' rent; the money is furnished by the Society; he mortgage s the house to it as security for his payment of the rent to it for about ten years, it is then delivered up to him in tact,—it is his for ever! The mass of the people know nothing of the advan tages to be thus obtained. Let those whose at tention has not been arrested by these simple facts pulse ere they are beyond their reach. They earn money, and they spend it all: show them how they can be provident,—give them an interest in their labour, beyond supplying the mere wants of the present hour, and you create better citizens, better morals, and at the same time, a social police, who, having something to lose, would array themselves against the reckless and the turbulent for the common benefit and protec tion of all. " Procrastination is the thief of time;" the boldest and the strongest often go down into te val ley of death, before the weak and dying;—the head of a family, whose labour brings present comfort and hap piness whose death would bring misery and agony—unfathomable wretcheduess—may be stricken down among the dead this night. Let those who would lessen the agony of the throes of death recollect that they must work out their own redemption ; and that if they defer the preparation for the work trail the ba , k is bowed and the head is bleached the effort will be vain and fruitless. They will thus add to the pains of the deathbed the wild agony of despair—the thought that, by the smallest ex penditure of money in earlier life, that despair would not have taken the place of happiness and peace, and that those for whom they were bound to provide by every law, human and divine, would have been left in comfort instead of deplorable wretchedness !—The Reporter of June.

COURT OF EXCI2'EQUER, June 2. (Sittings in Banco.) NEW TRIAL PAPER. WAKE .1( V. HEALEY AND COOKE. This was an action of I.bel, in which the plaintiff, who is the son of the coroner for Middlesex, and attached ti the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-lane, end practis• ing in London, sought to recover compensation for cer tain libels, published by the defendants in the Medical Times, of which work they were joint proprietors. The declaration alleged that the plaintiff was a surgeon and member of the Royal College of Surgeons, having the power under its charter and byclews to expel its mem bers for unprofessional conduct; and it went on to allege, that the defendants published of and concerning the plaintiff certain libels, imputing to him that he had been guiity of unprofessional conduct in publishing " puff ing advertisements of his operations at the hospital the Times, in the shape of advertisements of the con tents of the forthcoming number of the Lancet, in which accounts would be given of the op era ti ons i n ques • tion, and their highly successful result." This conduct ebge guilty," th e college, a nd the libels alleged to be such as would subject the plain tiff to be ex college, which were stated to confer such power of ex- expelled eufennddearntth tas pd e charter d n , not y a power of exp u l s i on as was al leged in the declaration ; and at the close of the case havingpex pulsion.i io n traversed suchTh that t the plaintiff was mem b er of a college The for the plaintiff, Hr. Healey, who conducted the de fence in person, submitted that on the second plea the defendants were entitled to a verdict, as there was no evidence that the College of S urgeons had the alleged power of expulsion. The Chief Baron, however, in clined to think, with the plaintiff, th a t t h e statements i n tl.e libels themselves might be taken as evidence of the fact there alleged as against them, and the case having gone to the jury a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. Afterwards this rule for a new trial was moved for by Mr. Healey, on the ground that there ought to have been some other evidence g i ven by t h e plaintiff in support of this issue ; and now, Mr. Martin and Mr., Bramwell were h ear d i n opposi tion to pre t e h ad furerule; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and M r . Dears ley Mr. Healey, and Mr. Mills for the de fendant Cooke. h The COURT, however, refused t o h ear t h e l atter gen tleman,was, in fact, no pa r ty t o i t . All t h at t h e Court could do was to take from the Learned Gentleman him, his a clip s though n o t u g notice of the r u l e h a d b een serve d on his assent, on behalf of Mr. Cooke, to the rule being made absolute for a new trial. Sir F. Pou.ccic, in the course of the case, said that he thought he had fallen into an error at the trial in attrl buting such weight to the statement in the libel. His Lordship thought now that there ought to have been distinct evidence by the plaintiff of the byelaw and charter. If there was no such byelaw the libel was not of so important a character, and the case, in his opinion, ought to go down again. The COURT, however, did not at once pronounce any formal opinion, but intimat e d th a t j u d gment wou ld b e given on Monday next. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT, June 2. The Hon. Adolphus Frederick Capel (brother to Lord Essex) applied under the Protection Act, and was op. posed on the part of 44 creditors. Mr. Dowse and Mr. Sargood represented 38; Mr. Bagley appeared as counsel for twc; and four were in person. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Sturgeon supported the application. The h sc edule filed by the insolvent, now 36 years old, was of considerable dimensions. The debts in the ag gregate were 3 2,1991., of which no consideration was received for 6,6321., and were railway liabilit ies, and 420/. were more th a once entered, leaving the bona fide debts from 1841 25,146/. There were no debtors, and only about 401. to be given up to the creditors, number ing in the schedule 221. The insolvency was attributed to the great loss sustained on the sale of furniture at Theydeu House, Epping; to ra ilway liabilities, and to the failure of th e accus t om ed receipts from friends. He had been in the receipt of 300/. a year from his brother, and his wife's father, L or d Maynard, made him a gra tuitous allowan ce of 6001. His income over the period of his schedule h a d b een 9 001. a year. On the case bei o e ned, an application was made on the part of the insolvent that it m i g ht be ad j ourned, and one of the reasons urge d was, that as nearly fifty creditors opp °aed, and no previous notice had been given, time sh ou ld b e allowe d. The application was not assented to o n t h e other s ide, and as many creditors were in atte n d ance from Ep ing' the Chief Commissioner directed th e case to procee p d, declaring that it must be heard as a common and ordinary matter. The Court was crowded at the time. The insolvent underwent a long examination. It appeared, from his evidence, that his debts amounted to the sum already stated, to meet which he had only 40/., arising from the valuation of some property, Ile had incurred his debts in about seven years, d ur i ng w hi c h time he had derived his al lovrance of ab out 9 00 1. a yea r, but there was no settle ment. The allowances were continued, but could be stopped at any moment, li e wa s married i n 1 835, when no sett l ement was ma de. In 1842 he took Theyd en H ouse at Epping, where h e h a d continued till l ast year. He had expended a good deal of money for repairs on the house, and now owed money on the same account. The furniture, plate, &c., had cost him about 10,000/., one half of which was laid out in furniture. There waa 544/. at present owing for furniture. lie was forced to leave is May last year, as several executions followed. A seizure under a bill of sf4lQ he had given to kidr. Chard, for 1,8004, money lent. The bill of sale was given in February, 1847, and the sale was in May, 1848, and in the interval he had contracted various debts; among the re:•t, a debt for a dressing-case, &e., and jewellery, and had not paid any money to the two particular creditors. On being asked the reason be had ❑ot submitted to the ju risdrcticn of the Court whilst he had property, he said he wished he had done so. Some of his friends advised him and some advised him not to do so. The result of the executions was that he was left without property. He had omitted to state in his account 5001. he had borrowed from a money lender, and which had been repaid by the sale at Epping. He had a town residence in Park-street, for which house he paid 3201 a year, and which he only occupied during the "season;" and on being asked the time " the seasons" lasted, he said, from " April to June," and he let it during the remainder of the year. The property at They - de u House, which had cost about 10,0001., was sold for 3,815/. 10s. 21, and several executions were discharged, as well as the debt of 1,8001. Since he left Epping he had used various names for concealment, such as Cooper, Clifford, Cuthbert, and Ceymour, always using Inc letter " C," as his linen was marked with that initial. He had filed his petition under the Protection Act, whilst residing at Ebury-streer, Pimlico, where he passed wider one of the assumed nau.es. The case having occupied more thln two hours, an adjeurnment was proposed, so as to enable the creditors to return to the country, and it was stated that, as it was then three o'clock, it would be impossible to conclude it in one dray. It was arranged that it should be adjourned to Thursday next, and the insolvent had his protection renewed until that day. The case created a good deal of interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Mr. George Brocklehurst, a Quaker, describing himself as a cotton-threader, residing at Stockport, was brought before Mr. Long, charged with having defrauded the London and North-Western Railway Company, under the circumstances below stated:— Mr. Penson, ticket-collector at the Camden station, deposed that on the previous evening, at seven o'clock, upon the arrival of a third-class train, he went to the different carriages to colleet the tickets, and on asking the prisoner for his, he said that he had none, neither had he any money. He was further questioned by wit ness, when he replied that he had travelled from Stock port, and had an idea that he should meet some one in London who would perhaps be disposed to pay for him. This story not being at all satisfactory, he was given into the custody of a guard, and conveyed by him to the Euston terminus, where he was detained for a time by the proper authorities, and ultimately locked up at the station-house. _ _ Inspector Dolby, of the Railway Police, said that he left the prisoner on the company's premises nearly two hours in hopes that he would be able to think of some one to whom be could apply for the sum due from him, viz., 15s. 2id.; he, however, could not name any one who would be likely to get him out of his trouble; be was searched, and all that he had upon him was an old razor and a small knife. Mr. LONG (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to this ? Prisoner—When I set off I bad no intention of defrauding the company, nor have I now. I thought it not unlikely that I might on my arrival in town see a friend upon the !platform, or, if not, that I might per haps find out somebody in the city who would assist me. Mr. LONG—What are the names of the persons to whom you allude ? Prisoner—l can't recollect any of them. Mr. LONG gave him to understand that his conduct was altogether of a must dishonest and reprehensible nature, and in default of his paying the amount claimed he was committed for seven days. IV 01?SH1P-S - 1 REET. A decently dressed man, who gave the name of Henry Bunn, and appeared about 35 years of age, was charged before Mr. Arnold with the following determined attempt at self-destruction. While the preceding charge was being disposed of, the prisoner, who was standing in the court and appeared to be labouring under great mental depression, watched his opportupity when he thought he was not observed, and, quietly turning himself round, was seen to put his hand up to his face. He was directly after noticed to be iu great pain, and upon looking at him it was disco vered that he had forced his thumb-nail under one of his eyaalls, and was endeavouring to gouge it out. He was immediately seized by one of the officers, and the completion of the act was prevented, but the prisoner had so seriously lacerated the eye that the blood trickled from the wound. He then expressed his deter mination to destroy himself, and became so violent that the gaoler was obliged to force him into the yard, at d place handcuffs upon him before he could be examined. A person named Radford, stated that while walking out of the Kingsland-road, about dusk on Thursday evening, he heard a violent plunge into the Regent's Canal, and upon looking towards the spot saw a man, who turned out to be the prisoner, struggling in the water. It was evident from his desperate exertions that he could not swim, and, as he was rapidly sinking, wit ness jumped in after him, and succeeded at length in getting a sufficient hold of him to pull him to the bank. He was then apparently insensible, and was conveyed to the workhouse, but had suffered so seriously from his immersion that he could not be brought up to the Court till now. Tho prisoner was questioned by the'magistrate with a view to ascertain the cause of his committing the act, or the residence of his relatives, but he declined to give any account of himself that bore the appearance of truth, and merely said that he had some fricces at Hoxton, without specifying where; this was partially contradicted by one of the officers, who said that he could not ascer.• twin that the prisoner had relatives anywhere in town, and Mr. ARNOLD therefore determined upon committing him to the House of Detention for a week, that further ir , quiries might be made respecting him, and at the same time gave directions that the surgeon;of the gaol might be request( d to examine into the state of his mind. 'The prisoner displayed the same morbid feeling up to the arrival of the prison van, in which he was carried away with the handcuffs still upon him. SOU7'HIVARK. Jeremiah Sadler, a powerful-looking man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham, charged with attempt ing to stab Mr. Dufaine, a gentleman of independent property residing in the Old Kent-road. The complainant deposed that a little after seven o'clock on the previous evening be was proceeding along the Dover-road towards his residence, when he saw the prisoner running after some lads with an open knife in his hands. Ho suddenly turned round to witness and exclaimed that be was determined to serve somebody out, anti flourished his knife over his head. Fearing that some injury would be done to him, he went into a shop to get out of his way, and on his emerging from the shop a quarter of an hour afterwards, the prisoner suddenly rushed upon him with his open knife, and exclaimed, " Now I have you, and I'll do for you," at the same time making a desperate plunge at him. Witness fortunately warded off the blow, and, a policeman coming up at the time, he was secured, and the knife wrested from his grasp. _ _ PCilice constable 142 P said that he received informa tion while on his beat that a man was threatening to murder some people in the Dover-road, and on proceed ing to the spot he saw the prisoner rushing upon the complainant with an open knife in his hand. He in. stantly seined hold of him, and, after considerable diffi culty wrested the instrument from his grasp. When he took him to the station-house, he told him he was only picking his nails, and did cot intend to do the prosecutor any injury. In answer to the magistrate, Mr. Dufaine said that the prisoner was a perfect stranger to him, and he had never seen him before. He made such a desperate plunge at him that, had he not turned round, he must have murdered him. The knife, a long sharp Spanish one, was here pro duced by the constable. In answer to the magistrate, the prisoner replied that he was much intoxicated at the time, and being annoyed by-some boys, he ran after them with his knife to frighten them. He denied any intention to injure the complain ant. He was a native of Norwich, and had only a few days ago come up to London in search of employment, and was at the time going to see a friend in the Kent road, when a number of lads annoyed him. Seargeant Charmer, 24 M, informed the magistrate that the prisoner was so violent, and ran in such a threa tening attitude along the street, that the whole of the passen g ers were placed in a state of consternation. He flourished the knife over his head, and swore he would murder the first person who came near him. Mr. COTTINGUAM said he was a very desperate cha racter, and it was fortunate for him he did not commit murder. He should order inquiries to be made about him, and in the mean time consign him to prison for a week, when he should deal with him according to law. William Mills, a costermonger, was charged with breaking the upper jaw of a !lad named Patrick Fuery, and kicking him in a severe manner. The lad was called into the witness-box, but owing to the gross injuries he had received he was unable to arti culate. A surgeon's certificate from Guy's Hospital was handed to the magistrate, proving that the lad was se verely injured with a fractured jaw. George Daniels, a lad, stated, that he was with com plainant, and saw kim go to the defendant's truck in Kent-street, and drag it some distance. The defendant then came up and struck the complainant, and, on the latter running away, he received the kick on the jaw which completely stunned him. The defendant was in a great passion, and exhibited great violence. The prisoner said he was a respectable man, and he was extremely sorry for what had occurred. The fact was, the boys were in the habit of making game of him, and on seeing the complainant run away with his truck he followed him, and struck him, and on his being saucy he kicked him, but not with the intention of hurting him. Mr. COTTINIJHAM said that the certificate from Guy's Hospital showed that the lad was in great danger, and no bad conduct on his part would warrant the defendant in acting in such a savage manner. He should, therefore, order him to be remanded until Monday next for the at tendance of the surgeon. FROM TILE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY: DIVIDENDS. At the Court, Basinghali-street. J.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. MANCHESXER, JIINE 2.—An almost complete holiday week affords no subject for remark, further than that the business done has been limited to retail transactions at late prices. Liverpool and Wakefield steady with moderate arrivals. Our Exchange to-day is thinly attended ;in no article is any amount of business done. WINCHESTER, JUNE 2.—The splendid weather since this day week, with the prospect of an abundant harvest, caused the corn trade to be very dull. Of wheat a fair supply. Millers purchased sparingly ; sellers were therefore pressing their sales, and offered best samples at 5s per load less money, inferior ditto even at a further decline. Indian Corn, English and foreign flour, and rye, were also of very slow sale, yet we cannot quote prices less than this day week. Barley was not in great demand, the little sold went at from '26s to 30s per quarter. The malt trade very depressed ; some good samples offered at 7s per bushel. Beans and peas without variation in price, although very few seemed dispos"d to purchase. Oats could be had at a further reduction of is per quarter.

Indian Corn is in good demand at an advance of 5s to lOs per ton. Yellow, 81 10, to W per ton ; white, 5s less. CORK, JUNE I.—The arrivals of foreign grain this week are few. Owing to this fact, and the improvement in the article in the Liverpool market, we have a brisk trade in Indian core, and such an advance in value as to bring prices almost on a level with those which were obtainable before the late large arrivals took place. The supply of home-grown grain is ex ceedingly small, and prices are nominally the same. Some parcels of foreign wheat have changed hands at rates (if any alteration in value can be quoted) in most instances in favour of the buyer. To•day, however, the market is firmer. A few sales, also, of oats, have been made in the out-ports at 105 9d to lls'per barrel, free on board, being about the price of last week. The business done in flour has been a limited one, the purchases made having been confined to the supply of the im mediate wants of the trade. Stocks in bakers as well as factors hands continue low, so that we look naturally for a speedy im provement in the trade. Indian corn is the only article in which any buoyancy has been manifested. We have to note accordingly not only a good amount of business passing, but an advance in the price of the article of fully 2s 6d to 53 per ton. We quote its current value to-day 81 lOs to 81 15s per ton. We experience an improved demand for Indian meal also, at a nearly similar advance.
