A public meeting of the water -rate payers of Lam beth, Southwark, and parts adjacent, was held this day at the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark, to receive the Report of a Committee appointed for the purpose of forming a new Water Company. The Chair was taken at one o'clock by Mr. H. Weston, of the Borough Bank. The CHAIRMAN said that he vas called upon to take the chair at this meeting, in onsequence of the inconvenience suffered by the inhabitants of this neigh bourhood, through the conduct of the Water Com panies on the Surrey side of the river in coalescing to raise the price of the water supplied to their respective rate-payers. It was a duty which the water-rate payers I owed to themselves and to their neighbour!, to unite and co-operate with each other, to get rid of the evils of the monopoly.—(Hear, hear.) The gentle. men who had taken the matter in hand, and called the present meeting, believed that they were prepared with a plan which would relieve the neighbourhood from that inconvenience ; and it would be for the meeting to consider how far they would concur in the recommendation. The Hon. Secretary, Mr. ROGERS, then read the Report of the Committee, which stated that they had been appointed, at a former meeting, to investigate the various plans submitted for the attaining of a pure and economical supply, and to procure an Act of Parlia ment for the formation of a Joint-stock Company. The Committee accordingly consulted able engineers, on whose judgment and experience they could rely, as to the purity of the water, the abundance of the supply, and the least expensive in its procurement and ulti mate delivery. The plan of Mr. James Pinkerton for procuring a supply from the river Wandle, seemed, upon a most careful comparison with every other that had been presented to them, to possess all these ad vantages. It appeared, from the evidence presented by a Committee to the House of Commons, in 1834, that the water of the Wandle is the purest that can be obtained within any reasonable distance of the metropolis. The same Report, and the evidence of Mr. Mills, Mr. Talfourd, and other engineers, justi fied the assertion that the supply would be amply sufficient for the quantity of the metro politan district south of the Thames. The same Report further corroborated the views of the Com mittee as to the facility and economy of obtaining water from that source. The elevation of the water at Beddington Park, where Mr. Pinkerton proposed to take the water from, was ninety feet above the level of the Thames at high-water mark, and the reservoir which that gentleman proposed to form on Clapham-common would be eighty feet above the same level, thus enabling the Company to dispense with any artificial power for supplying the ordinary serving, and thus saving not only a great outlay of capital iu the first instance, but a very large and constant annual expense. The outlay required for completing the works, according to Mr. Pinkerton's plan, including the reservoir at Clapham, would be 60,000/. Having reached that point of expense it would be at the option of the shareholders and the public as to the extent to which they would lay down pipes, &c. ; but there could be no doubt that the public would no longer be content to receive the impure and unwholesome article vended to them at present at an enormous price, when they could supply them selves with the purest article at the cheapest rate.— (Hear, hear.) The Report, after some minor com munications, concluded by recommending the `adop tion of Mr. Pinkerton's plan, in confident anticipation of which result of that meeting, the Committee had given the notice required by the standing orders, for the introduction of a Bill in the next Session. The motion that the Report be adopted having been moved and seconded, Mr. BLACKMOIiE objected to the course which' the Committee were taking. The matters contained in the Report were such as ought to be the last sub mitted to the meeting. In the former plan it was proposed that the qualification of a Director should be not less than five hundred shares, which throws the whole management into the hands of a few wealthy persons, and leaves the consumers as much at the mercy of monopoly as ever.—(Hear.) The Commit tee were beginning to-day at the wrong end. They ought to show first why it was that a new Company was wanted.—(Hear and laughter.) Mr. SOFTLAND, proprietor of the Bridge-house Hotel, said, if the gentleman wants to know why we want a new Company, I will tell him. They have raised my rate this year from 201. to 36/. ; and the British and Foreign Schools from 91.95. to 211. — (Shame.) Whereas the London Tavern pays only 101., the Castle and Falcon 71. 75., aDd the London Coffee-house only 12/. 12s.—(Shame.) The Report was then unanimously adopted. Mr. THORNE moved the first resolution, which was, "that a Company be forthwith formed to carry the recommendations of the Report into effect ;" which, after a desultory discussion, was eventually carried. A resolution was then passed continuing the pre sent Committee, with instructions to increase their number to 24, by selection from the Subscribers. A resolution having been put that the shares should be issued at 101., an amendment was proposed to the effect that the shares should be no more than 1/. each. In reply to this it was explained that the duty on the transfer of a 1/. share would be 10s.—(Hear.) The original proposition (101.) was carried by a ma jority of 29 to 24. A resolution was also passed instructing the Com mittee to call a meeting of Shareholders for the elec tion of Directors as soon as a sufficient number of shares were subscribed for; the first payment to be ten per cent., with two months' notice of another call. Thanks were voted to Mr. Softland for the gra tuitous use of his rooms, and also to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—Except the late Lord Durham's parting proclamation from Canada, we do not remember so reckless a State-paper as this of Lord Ellenborough from Simla. The anarchy of the Affghan tribes will find a parallel in the British monarchy, if every tem porary holder of power delegated from the Sovereign is allowed to entertain " surrounding States " with the faults and follies of his Queen's Government, whenever the actual or former policy of that Go vernment does not suit his opinions. There is ad ministrative anarchy, not constitutional Government, where these things are done. We hold that the only authorities competent to pronounce judgment on the policy of the empire—are the Legislature and Go vernment of the empire—no one of their delegates. The party now in power were sufficiently vehement against Lord Durham's unguardedness, in publishing his philippic against Parliamentary friends and ene mies, in America. The inconvenience and peril of such a proceeding were denounced justly at that time. Is it less inconvenient and less perilous, in the East than in the West to depreciate national policy ? Is plain speaking so indispensable to ears Oriental, that Lord Ellerisiorough felt com pelled to afford them this remarkable specimen of it? Are they so likely to undi! , ,rstand it in a sense serviceabl e t o our mora l i n fl uence ? W e can j us t imagin e that, i n E urope, a certa i n; magnan i m ity ma y be su n p la pc m : . e a d oin to lit d y lc m ta ,o te ol a d vo h N e val i s m o p f pas nlved t i e . n r r g o e r n ; u t i n h e o n u e a s l s i the if it were exercised by those who had committed the errors in question. It is not exactly considered that much magnanimity i s required to acknowledge thosewhen are poli tical opponents But the serious q - nestion is, whether supposed errors of actual or past poli c y are t o b e de nounced at all by distant and subordinate functionaries to hostile ears ! We regard this as :a most questionable innovation of Governors General. It. can serve no pur pose, except to exalt an individual, .or a party, at the expense of the reputation of the natioi nal policy. There is no individual, and no party, wortl ► any such sacri fice. There is no individual, and Ito party, entitled to isolate his or their claims to credit, and exalt them at the expense of their country's character. Fo reigners do not judge of that charm der from the cle verness (or self-conceit of such) of this or that func tionary, but from the sustained di iznity of public measures, emanating from a higher source. It was Carthage, not Rome, that avenged i temporary re verses on her own leaders; the impe vial city showed honour to hers, even while unsucce ;E;ful; and Philip the Second had sufficient sense of dig nity to do so, on the loss of the Spanish Armada. It w ins reserved for the dignity and discretion of Lord Ellenborough to twit his predecessors with error; forgetful ap parently that those predecessors represented, as much as he does, the name and governmex it of Great Bri tain—not to be traduced lightly to :foreign malice ! To do as little as possible among the , Affghans, leav ing them, for their crimes, to " anarchy," and to get away again as fast as possible, was the height of Lord Ellenborough's aim in Affghanistam. Not even a word about the rescued captives. NV:nether or not it is prudent to withdraw, having vindicated our arms, is an open question. But surely we m ight withdraw without this undignified paean for peace at any price. STANDARD.—The Morn* Chronicle of this day makes an angry attack upon Lord Ellenborough's proclamation, dividing its accusation under the two heads of substance and expression. The substance, which some would think the more important conside ration, our Contemporary postpones to a i Dore conve nient season ; a season which we suspect vs ill not soon arrive—for it will take some time to pc asuade the public that Affghanistan ought to be' retained. How ever, while suspending its judgment upon th esu.bstance of what the Governor-General has actually resolved, the Chronicle observes no delicacy with regard to the intention which it gratuitously ascribes to his Lord ship—the intention, namely, of resigning the pri soners to their fate. Now, whether Lard Ellen borough ever held this intention or did npt, must be a secret in his own breast ; certainly Sir .Itobert Peel rtan pledges e d no t such o intention, vindicate the as is plain {.r m l his re peatedentei ehonour of the empire at whatever cost; and it is not very protehle that the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER Q 9, t 842 Governor-General sent to India by Sir Robert Peel would, immediately upon his arrival there, commence a system directly contrary to the pledges given by the Minister who sent him. This is an improbability so very strong that the weightiest evidence must be required to shake the presump tion arising from it. Now, what is the evidence adduced by Lord Ellenborough's accusers? Certain orders for retrograde movements, assumed to have been issued, or to have been intended to be issued. But granting the fact of these orders, who knows their ulterior purpose ? There are two thinks indeed that may be known to every one, leading to a conclu sion that the orders issued or intended by Lord Ellen borough did not contemplate any other course but exactly that course which was adopted with such triumphant success. These one or two things are the facts, that no unnecessary march was made by any portion of the army, however small ; no opportunity, however trifling, was lost ; not a man's labour, nor a single day was wasted — the whole grand operation, extending over a field of about 1,200 miles by .500, fell into working order like the most exquisitely-finished piece of machinery—an engine contrived with consummate art of inflexible and indestructible materials. Such is not the effect of timid and vacillating councils. But the destruction of Kelat i Ghilzie, and other strong places, concurring with the alleged orders for a retrograde movement, is advanced to confirm the charge of intending to abandon the prisoners. The ruins of Ghnznee, however, tell why the works of Kelat i Ghilzie, &c., were destroyed—namely, incon templation, not of the abandonment of the prisoners, but of the ultimate evacuation of the Affghan terri tory. In short, assuming that the Governor-General, from the first, intended that which he had actually done, every step of his conduct will appear clear, in telligible, and consistent ; but, to credit an opposite hypothesis, we must get over a score of difficulties and contradictions. - GALES AT THE CAPE OF GO HOPE. LOSS OF PART OF THE CREW OF THE BARQUE WILLIAM MITCHELL, OF LEITH. (From the Greenock Advertiser.) The severe gales at the Cape of Good Hope about the end of the month of August last, the pitiful results of which, in the destruction of property and the loss of human life, have of late so painfully excited public sympathy for the sufferers extended, as might have been supposed, to ships a long way at sea. One me lancholy instance, resulting in the death of three per sons, part of the crew of the barque William Mitchell, of Leith, on her passage from Singapore to Antwerp, is narrated in the following extract of a letter, from a gentleman on board that vessel, dated Cape of Good Hope, September 17 : " We sailed from Singapore July 1 with a full cargo of tin and pepper. The south-west monsoon was blowing, and the current with it, so that we could not make way against them. We were conse quently blown away up the China sea, and six days after our first start we were not more than twenty five miles from Singapore. We came down the Straits of Rhio, and after four weeks' hard work we reached Java—having crossed over and beat down the coast of Borneo, with the wind in our teeth the whole way. On the Bth September, when off Cape Languilles, the most southerly point of Africa, and after a day nearly calm, a heavy sea got up all of a sudden ; so heavy, that she was taking water on deck and not a breath of wind. A person experienced on this coast knows this to be the fore runner of gales. We had no sail taken in ere the squall caught us at once, and laid us flat over before the ship paid off. It struck us by the lee. We all turned to I to shorten sail ; got in all the light ones, and reefed the topsails ; four hands laid out to furl the jibs, and were, just coming in, when she took such a pitch, that the jib-boom broke short off at the cap, taking the fore top-gallant mast with it, what was worse, three of our shipmates. We could do nothing to save them. On the alarm being given, all were paralysed for a moment—and the next all were at the quarter-boat ; and, till, it was manned and half lowered, it never struck any one that the boat must swamp the instant it touched the water—so heavy a sea running. It was unanimously agreed that it was of no use; and, besides, all the bodies were out of sight—sunk, before any thing could be done. A muster was made immediately, and we found we had lost three, namely, James Reid, aged 48, able seaman Allan Lyndsay, aged 19, just out of his apprenticeship ; and Robert Greig, aged 19, an apprentice. The poor old man was the life of the ship, and this was the first time round the Cape. He has left a wife and a large family. Lyndsay was the best lad in the ship, both in moral character, and in knowledge of seamanship. The last was also a quiet, stout lad. We made an inventory of their kits, and had them nailed up for behoof of their friends. " This gale lasted three days. We hove-to all the time under reduced maintopsail, and the ship behaved well ; only that she was so desperately leaky that our crew, even before our loss too small, were very much fagged ; for with one hand lashed at the wheel, only three and an officer were at the pumps—and they had to pump fully fifteen minutes every hour. I lent a hand to the heavy work till we reached the Cape here, when we anchored in Table Bay on the 14th of September. " In the newspapers you will read an account of the disastrous work done by the gale (at the same time we had it) in Table Bay. These are the most severe gales which have been experienced here for 15 years back. It is a dismal sight to see the ' ribs and trucks' of a majestic ship broken up. " I have nothing to say to you at all about the Cape. The climate is splendid. It is early spring at present; temperature about 66 deg. F. The medical gentlemen complain ; but you know that is a good sign of the state of health generally."

SCGAR.—To-day buyers of British Plantation Sugar came forward more freely, and merchants manifested firmness ; a fair demand prevailed for both yellow and strong grey descriptions, which brought full rates. Brown kinds sustained the former currency, and met with more attention. The private purchases amounted to 350 hlnls and tres, and the market closed with deci dedly a more healthy appearance ; of the finest yellow sorts the supply is not ample for the wants of the trade. . This afternoon a public sale of 100 hhds 1 tre Barba does Sugar went off with fair spirit, at an advance on former rates of 6d per cwt for fine ykllow, and ai full prices for all other descriptions ; fine yellow fetched 68s to GBs 6d, good 65s 6d to 67s 6d, middling 62s 6d to 655, and low greyish GOs per cwt. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in excellent demand for home consumption at further improved prices. Standard Lumps selling at 74s 6d to 755. Brown Grocery 73s to 745, and Brown Melting Lumps 71s to 72s per cwt. Treacle was taken more freely. Bastards and Pieces in good request, the former at 46s to 595, and the latter at 60s to 70s. Bonded Crushed Sugar sells freely at 25s 6d for the best, and the market is firm. In other articles there is no variation. MAURITIUS.—There has been no public sale of this description of Sugar ; privately yellow descriptions have been sought after, and the few parcels offering have found ready purchasers at stiffer rates. This afternoon several inquiries existed, and 108 bags at public sale were sold at 51s 6d to' 52s for common Brown, being the full value. EAsTINDIA.—This afternoon the trade were ready purchasers of Bengal Sugar, and 5,401 bags at public sale were all sold at full rates, exceptingfor common kinds, which went rather lower; fine white fetched 69s 6d, good 67s 6d, mid date kind 64s to 65, low 6ls ed to 63s 6d, good yellow 63s to G3s 6d, mid 60s to 62s Gd, low 583 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—Prices have further advanced for nearly all descriptions, and an increased desire has been shown to purchase. To-day both Bahia and yellow Havannah Sugar were wanted, but the smallness of the supply tended to operate against business ; 26s Gd to 22s Gd paid for some parcels of low to fine yellow Havannah. There was no public sale, and the market closed very firmly. MoLAssEs.—The common descriptions of West India are dull of sale, and rather cheaper, but fine sorts are firm in price ; fine Antigua 30s to 31s, 28s 6d for good St. Vincents, 25s ed for common, and 25s for St. Lucia. Bengal Syrup at 25s to 26s 6d. Foreign Molasses at 6s 9d to 7s 6d. Honey at 28s to 70s for common to fine quality ; Tousles Alois at 7d to 1 Id per lb.

We report a firm market for all sorts of West India Rum—Jamaica, 28 to 32 per cent over proof mid quality at 2s lod to 3s 2d, 34 to 36 over good mid 3s 8d to 3s lld, 34 to 36 over good 4 s to 4s 2d, and fine 4s 3d to 4s 7d. Leewards at is 9d for common proof, and at is 10d for good.

Eng lish Corn Spirits a full h r . ates have been COFFEE.—'there has been more disposition shown to purchase West India s Co d paid privately for clean descriptions ; of middling and good middling the supply is unusually small. Mocha has been in fair request at the former currency. This afternoon Coffee was in good request by the Home Trade, and holders supplied the market sparingly, only 16 casks Demerara and 397 bags of St. Domingo were offered at auction, the former went at 84s for low mid, 67s for good ord, and 50s to 55s 6d for ord and good ord, the latter reali se d 32 s f or goo d or d , b e i ng full rates for both. By private contract parcels of good and real good ord Ceylon were sold at 63s to 64s ; Padang common 295, and Sumatra ord to gcod 25s to 27s per cwt. TEA.—To -day merchants submitted to a further re duction in price, making the fall as compared with the rates of the last public auctions of 2d to 3d for Hyson and Young Hyson, 2d for Imperial and Gunpowder, 2d fur Pouchong, and ld to lid per lb for Congou, tempted the trade to come forward more freely, still a heaviness per vaded the sales, the trade being disposed to purchase only sufficient for their immediate want: of either Black or Green Tea, and prices are still unsettled, no Twankey or Common Congou yet disposed of. Of the total quan tity passed the chair amounting to 28,000 packages, only 7,000 have been actually sold. Imperial. good ord coa to but mid ra coa sold at 2s to 2s lid, but mid ra coa ra str 2s 4d to 23 44d ; Gunpowder, but mid ra str bnt 2s 6d ; Hyson, mid good 4s 3d to 4s 3id, but mid coa bnt ra str 2s to 2s lid, ditto ra str but 2s 2id to 2s 4d ; but mid to mid ra str bnt 2s .53d to 2s 54d ; Congou, mid blksh if str Pek fla 2s 3P to 2s 34 ; Young Hyson 2s to 2s 10P ; Pouchong 6d to Is 4d. RlCE.—This afternoon sev e ral inquiries existed for Bengal Rice, and stiller prices were paid. Sales pri vately of middling white made lls 6d, common lls per cwt. The stock continues on the decrease. _ _ FRUlT.—lmporters of Currants have again submitted to lower prices. All other sorts of Fruit have been in excellent request. The public sales of Oranges have gone off briskly ; Fayal in large boxes fetching 23s to 23s 6d, and in small boxes 15s to 15s 6d. INDIGO.—The market is in a healthy state for East India Indigo, prices continue on the advance ; buyers anxious to increase their stocks, and merchants supply the market reluctantly. TALLOW—The market has been in a tranquil state for Russia Tallow since Thursday :est, and importers have submitted to a reduction of 3d to 6d per cwt. : on the spot 47s 9d to 48s have been accepted for new P.Y.

(For the remainder of :the Markets, see the Third Page.) REPEAL OF THE INCOME•TAX. _ The provincial journals have commenced an appeal, which we trust the Liberal Press throughout the country, backed by petitions to the House of Com mons, will continue to urge upon Sir Robert Peel, for the removal of this now unnecessary impost, until it is abandoned. following The Durham County Herald has the "One of th e mast o b v i o us and immediate advan tages of th e t reaty of peace which Sir Henry Patin , ger has arra nge d; i 3 the vas t amount of money which will be brought during the next three years into the national treasury. The primary reason alleged by Sir Rob er t Peel in his speech on the 1 lth of March, for the imposition of the Income-tax, "was the heavy which be estimated for 1842 - 4 3 at expenditure on account of the China expedition, not less than 1,500,0001. If only on the ground that the heavy drain on the treasury to meet the expenses of this war will be stopped, the na tion may indeed rejoice at peace being restored in the East ; and since 21,000,000 of dollars are destined to fall into the lan of the Government, let the people not only hear, but also feel, the felicitous effects of the grateful intelligence, by the immediate abrogation of the income Tax — a tax so odious, so abhorrent, so de spotic and inquisitorial, as must render it alike the policy and happiness of a great minister to repeal it instanter, at a moment so propitious. "In order, however, to aid Sir Robert Peel in so praiseworthy an object, we would urge upon the in habitants of this and every other town in England and Scotland to petition Parliament for its abroga. NOVEL POWER IN STEAM NAVI. tion. And if the Premier should in this matter dis appoint the nation's hopes and wishes, he may rest assured that when that high office may again become vacant, the community will never more ask for re- Peel ! " The news from China and India is already highly gratifying, and coming at the present juncture, when trade in every quarter is drooping and depressed, it is well calculated to inspirit the British people, and to induce them to anticipate brighter and better days ; but if the repeal of the Income-tax result from this arrangement, the gratification of the country will be greatly enhanced." The Caledonian Mercury speaks thus :—" When Sir Robert Peel introduced the Income-tax, he esti mated the deficiency in the year ending sth April, 1843, at 2,569,0001. to which there fell to be added a sum of 700,0001., or 800,0001., on account of the Chinese war, over and above the 500,0001. already assigned for that purpose; then there was the defi ciency on the last five years. ending sth April, 1842, of 7,200,0001., making for the six years, ending sth April, 1843, a deficiency of about 10,000,0001. The total produce of the Income Tax was calculated at 3,771,0001., and the additional Irish duties at 410,0001. "While the estimated deficiency in the current ex penditure was to be made good in the shape of addi tional taxation, of course the debt of the by-gone few years was not to be redeemed all at once. Well, then, in what shape is the country to receive the benefit of the 5,000,0001. to be paid by China ? Had the Chinese question been settled on the present terms previous to March, 1842, when the Income-tax was announced, Sir Robert Peel would never have ven tured on such a scheme. And because this unlooked for and prosperous contingency arises when that tax is adjusted and in the course of being imposed—and simultaneous with the announcement of the final vic tories in India, which contest was another ground for the imposition of that grievous tax—is the country still to be kept under so odious and galling a yoke ? There must be a mitigation more or less when Par liament meets, or Sir R. Peel will be hurled from power." At a meeting of the Glasgow Town Council, on Thursday last, Mr. Bell gave notice of the following motion :—" That this Council, in consequence of the happy adjustment of our differences with China, and the prospect of the speedy termination of the war in Affghanistan, memorialise her Majesty's Government, praying that Government may submit to Parliament, as early as possible, a measure to repeal the Income and Property-tax."—Glasgow Chronicle. Lord Stanley left town last evening. The Judi cial Committee of the Privy Council sat this morning to adjudicate on an appeal respecting a vessel, the Guiana—the cargo and ship itself having been con demned for being concerned in the slave trade. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—There is reason to believe that it is proposed by the Government to appoint a Commission, the services on which will be gratuitously rendered, for the purpose of consider ing, on comprehensive principles, the various plans which have been suggested for the improvement of the metropolis. The Commission will not, ofcourse, have authority to undertake plans of improvement, or to enter into engagements with respect to them—but they will be enabled to investigate the merits of the various proposals that have been under consideration—to es timate the charge of effecting each improvement— to compare that charge with the probable revenue to be derived from it—and to consider the bearing of each detached scheme, not only upon the immediate vicinity, but upon the general convenience and health of the metropolis, and the means offacilitating commu nication between the various parts of it. A letter has been addressed by Sir Robert Peel to each of the following noblemen and gentlemen, and each has con sented to be a member of the Commission of Metro politan Improvement :—The Lord Mayor, the Earl of Lincoln, Alexander Milne, Esq., Hon. Charles A. Gore, Lord Lyttelton, Lord Colborne, the Right Hon. J. C. Herries, Sir Robert Inglis, Bart., M.P., Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M.P., Sir Robert Smirke, Henry T. Hope, Esq., H. Gaily Knight, Esq., M.P., and Charles Barry, Esq. THE INCOME-TAX.—The labours of the Commis sioners are rapidly drawing to a conclusion, in as far as the eastern district, of the city of London is con cerned. They met on Saturday, at ten o'clock (the Commissioners present being Aldermen Wilson, Gibbs, and Musgrave, Mr. Deputy Blackett, Messrs. Pea cock, R. L. Jones, Sampson, and Melville), but they adjourned at eleven o'clock, having no business before ( them. The sitting was resumed at a later hour, but all the business was finished before two o'clock. Yes terday there were 132 numbers taken out, the greater portion of which were satisfactorily disposed of. In one case only—and that a very bad one—was the ap pellant sent back to amend his return. We understand that the Commissioners, finding that their leniency has been abused, are now leaning to a more strict in terpretation of the Act ; but this only in cases when the attempt at evasion is palpable. The Commission ers attending yesterday were the same as on Saturday, with the addition of Alderman Musgrave and Messrs. Carter, King, and Mr. Deputy Allen. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 28. The Court having disposed of the special paper proceeded to hear cases on the new trial paper. HALL V. FEARNLEY. This was an action brought to recover damages for the injuries alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the cart of the defendant haying been driven over the plaintiff's leg and broken it. The defendant had pleaded not guilty, and at the trial it had been attempted to be proved that the plaintiff had accidently slipped off the curb-stone and fallen underneath the wheel of the cart, which was passing at the time. Mr. Justice Wightman, who tried the cause, told the Jury that if they were of opinion that the injury the plaintiff had sustained was the result of unavoidable accident, they must find for the defendant. The Jury being of that opinion, returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Crowder subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, alleging that as the defendant had not put a plea of justification on the record, it was not competent for him to raise the question of accident at the trial. Mr. KNOWLES, to-day, showed cause against the rule. The COURT ordered the rule fora new trial to be made absolute. VERTET V. RUSSELL. This was an action brought by a physician to re cover a sum of money . alleged to be due from the defendant, a lady, for plaintiff's medical attendance on her brother. At the trial it had been admitted that a physician could not recover his fees by ac tion, but it was alleged, that in the present instance, there had been a special contract, in proof of which several letters were put in in evidence. the Jury re turned a verdict for defendant. The Attorney-Gene ral subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The COURT, having heard Mr. Thesiger, Mr. War ren, and Mr. Bovill against the rule ; and the At torney• General and Mr. Peacock in support of it, or dered the rule to be discharged. In the cases of Hayes v. Gufield, the Queen v. Binney, and Johnson v. Wood, rules nisi for new trials were granted ; and in Johnson v. Wood, and Drake v. Harmer, no rules were granted. BAIL COURT, Nov. 28. GREENSILL V. JCNES. The plaintiffs in this action are lamp manu facturers, and the defendant is a gas-fitter. It ap peared that the defendant had a contract for the ar rangement of the gas apparatus of Drury-lane theatre, under the London Gas Company, but not being reacy upon the opening; of the theatre after last Christmas, he came to the plaintiffs and asked them to send some lamps for the saloon of Drury-lane, to which Mr. Greensil replied that he did not like to have anything to do with theatres. Upon an observation, however, made by Mr. Jones, the lamps were sent and put up, and for the hire of them the present action was brought. The damages were laid at 1221. 4s. 6d. Witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff, who proved that the defendant ordered the lamps, and upon the plaintiff saying he did not wish to have any thing to do with theatres, the defendant said he would pay for them himself; or in case that the managers of the theatre did not pay for them that he (the defend ant) would then do so. It was denied on the part of the defendant that Mr. Jones said he would pay for the hire of the lamps, and that Mr. Macready or the London Gas Company ought to have been sued. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS', Nov. 28. DITCHAIAN V. MONTEFIORE, KNT., AID OTHERS. This was an action against the Sheriffs of Middle sax for refusing to levy against the goods of one James Pett. Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. White were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Bompas for the Sheriffs. In the year 1834, James Pett, a builder at llamp stead, wit,hing to compound with his 'creditors, bor rowed the sum of 4001. from the plaintiff in this action, a gentleman of fortune, for that purpose. Subse quently to this, the plaintiff being unable to obtain his money, brought an action against Pett for the recovery of the amount, and obtained a verdict. Judgment was entered; but, in the meantime, a fiat in bank ruptcy had been issued against Pett, and, therefore, the Sheriffs declined to levy his goods, on the ground that they were the property of his assignees. The plaintiff had, therefore, commenced an action against the Sheriffs in 1837, which had remained over till the present time, and now came on for trial. The ground upon which the action was brought was, that th ere was no good petitioning creditor's debt. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that the petitioning credi tor against Pett had issued the fiat merely f or th e purpose of getting rid of the plaintiff's claim. Evi- Bence was attempted to be shown that the petitioning creditor, Mr. Walton, a timber-merchant, had ad vised the other creditors to take a composition of 6s. 9d. in the poundin the year 1834, and that the claim under the bankruptcy was part of that corn pounding. This evidence was, however, considered not legal, and it was, therefore, not admitted. Mr. James Pett was called, and a long argument took place as to whether he could be admitted as a witness against his own bankruptcy. Mr. Justice Cresswell held that he could. He was about to be sworn, when he addressed his Lordship, and said he wished to know how he was to be paid for his attendance. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he supposed he would be paid in the usual way, and whatever was proper. The attorney said he would see him paid. Mr. Pett said he had attended last term seven days, and then he could not get a farthing from the solicitor, and he did not know why he should trust him again. He should decline being sworn until he had been paid. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL consulted with the officer of the Court, and ordered the witness to be paid 30s. for his two days' attendance. He was then sworn. His evidence merely went to show that his debt to the petitioning creditor was more than 1001. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he thought there was no case for the Jury. The case was one of great difficulty. The allegations on the part of the plaintiff were extremely difficult of proof, and out of which many complicated points of law would arise. As the matter at present stood no case had been made out by the plaintiff, and his (allegations were entirely without proof. A verdict must therefore be taken for the defendants. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. CORONER'S INQUES r. Yesterday afternoon a very lengthened iuvestiga tion into the circumstances attending the death of Helen Derrik, alias Dewey, was entered into before Mr. Higgs, at the Bull's Head, York-street, West minster. From the evidence of three most respectable wit nesses, in York-street, it appeared that on Friday afternoon, about half.past one o'clock, William Dewey, the deceased, and another female were observed coming up the above street, the deceased being very tipsy, and the others, who were sober, supporting her, on either side. When about half way up the street deceased slipped down, in a sitting po sition, and Dewey kicked her severely in the thigh, then stooping, he lifted her up and threw her down again with great violence ,her head coming in contact with the kerb-stone, and, bleeding freely, the blow rendered her insensible, but again he lifted her and threw her down in the same manner. A man who ran out of a shop, near, and remonstrated with him, was told "to go to h—, it was no business of his." She was then carried across the road, to Smith's-rents, and laid down for some short time upon the street, although she,was still insensible, and it was raining heavily at the time ; finally, she was removed home, but remained insensible. and died next morning. Alice Woods, the female who was in com pany with the party at the time of the violence sworn to, said that deceased slipped down only once ; that Dewey did not kick her, and that no unnecessary vio lence had been exercised while she was present. (She was rigorously cross-examined by Mr. Higgs and the Jury, anti varied greatly in her statements.) John Wright, M.D., 3, Storey's-gate,Westminster, said that he had made la post mortem examination of the body, and found an external bruise upon the left side of the head ; upon turning back the scalp found a quantity of extravasated blood beneath, and on re moving the skull found a clot of blood weighing more than two ounces, and covering a surface of eight or nine inches, pressing down the brain in such a manner that death was unavoidable. Had no hesi tation in saying that the wound in the head was the result of violence, either by a blow or a fall upon some hard substance. The Jury, after a long debate as to whether the verdict should be wilful murder or manslaughter, decided upon returning the latter, and Dewey, whb is now remanded from Queen-square police-court, will to-morrow be committed to take his trial. The prisoner had been a soldier, but was discharged as out-pensioner from Chelsea Hospital, and the de ceased, who had been married to a man in the same regiment, had lived with him for about ten years or more. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.YESTERDAY. Although the betting on the Derby extended over more than the usual number of horses, and was brisk on some of the outsiders ; it failed to produce any very striking alterations. The three favourites were steady at last week's averages, and were backed for about 100 L each, Winesour being most in demand. Aristides, who is still in the land of the living (the accident having oc curred to a yearling colt, named Zanoni, belonging to the Earl of Eglinton), had two or three friends at the advance on the average, previous to the report that he had broken his back. Sir Gilbert Heathcote's horses were frequently mentioned, and one of them, Amorino, backed freely ; an increase is observable in the odds against the lot. The prices named against the l3rocard colt (sold to a Mr. Gray), Chesterfield, St. Valentine, Lhcette colt, Languish colt, Oxygen colt, Pastille colt,. &c., were in almost every case taken several times, and afterwards offered.

At one of the stated meetings of the Merchant Company of Edinburgh, held yesterday at their Hall in Hunter-square, Mr. ROBERT CADELL begged to submit a motion for an early meeting of the Company to con sider of a petition to Parliament for the repeal of the Income-tax, not three years hence, but 6n the close of the first year, on next sth of April. Every one was aware of the glorious news of the last few days; they had removed every reason given by Sir Robert Peel for the imposi tion of this abominable tax. The fears from collision with the United States were at an end ; the Chinese war, one of the principal reasons for the impost, is closed ; the Affghan war, one other reason for it, may be said to have ceased ; but, above all, nearly five millions of money is to be paid, which will meet half the declared deficiency of the revenue, one main cause of the tax ; a saving on the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. will bring in one million more ; and there is the grinding of the drain on our incomes for the, di&rence. During the war, which many here must recollect, the severity of ten per cent. was less felt be cause every man's hand was full—prices high —money yielding a high interest—and we had, as a nation, the monopoly of the trade of the world. The tax was not felt by those Sir Robert Peel meant to feel it—he thought to relieve those who had some one hundred and fifty pounds a year, while, in fact, he had placed it on the lower or working classes. The rich cut down their establishments; the middle classes save it by ecenomy ; every trader feels the effect, of all this ; and the poor man-servant or maid-servant is turned adrift—they are the real sufferers. Now is the time to make a movement. The greatest politi cal blunder of our time was made by Lord John Russell, in not protesting against this tax, as one only to be levied in peace, on the day its was tabled by Sir Robert Peel, Let that eminent nobleman go forthwith to the Guildhall of London, and lead a cru sade against this tax, and he will be responded to from one end of Great Britain to the other, and let him give forth, that longer than the sth April, 1843, it shall not last. _ .

GATION. On Thursday, Mr. Lees delivered a lecture on steam navigation, with a particular reference tothe exposition of a principle proposed to be applied to that purpose by Mr. Ruthven of this city , and for which he has taken out a patent. The lecturer gave. a succinct statement of the history and progress of steam navigation, and remarked, that the great ob stacle to its extension was the imperfect nature of the paddle wheels. It was to obviate this imperfectio n that Mr. Ruthven had turned his attention,and his plan was sufficiently simple. It was to apply t o the propulsion of the vessel the principle which was known as that adopted in "Barker's Mill." It consis ts of t tube, horizontal or upright, into the extremity of which another tube, crossing it at right angles, vias fitted, and open at both ends. When water w as in troduced into the first tube, it naturally made its escape at the two ends of- the angular tube , but its escape it caused this tube to revolv e ; the in water, as it escaped, sending the tube forward an opposite direction to that by which it escaped, ai . this with a force proportioned to the pressure of t' . 7. water. The principle, in fact, is precisely the saw: as that which causes the recoil in a gun w hen it discharged. It had been attempted to be app lied to steam-navigation before, but had always failed —be cause, in the lecturer's estimation, the water was ways discharged below the surface, which impeded its power of action. He illustrated this by experim,e n . h ts ; which certainly showed that the discharge 0 ' ` l , water, below the surface of other water, was not near:`? so efficient as when it was discharged into the au__ The mode of its application' to the propulsion of vin sels, was, as we understood, by making apertu `e ater l the bows of the ship, through which the to would flow into pipes, and thus would be conducted re the place where the steam-engine was situated. T he o , the water would escape by a large pipe running _, ac ,, r res the vessel and open at both ends, but with the ape.'":"l, directed towards the stern, which, upon the py inci fbe referred to, would have the effect of se nding A, vessel forward. If it was wished to back the 'Jess, the apertures could be turned in the contrary dire: tion ; and if to stop her, they had only to be tu ry . fle directly down towards the bottom, w hil e the eal2„ d . never ceased working. In this case, we unde rsta te e the use of the engine would be to discharr o f water out at the two apertures with a high deg ree oro . pressure, as the speed of the vessel would be 'I I i' s vas portion to the rush of the water. A small mod el t he exhibited without a steam-engine, which 5 11 ° 1 ' 7 14 1 p l soundness of the principle, by the small skiff s a ture " r backing, and even turning, in water.

He recommended that a tes t pany should be formed, to have a vessel built t a the plan.—Edinburgh Courant THE MARKETS: PRCE OF BREAD• iid for o°4l the highest ;like of itrea l d in the Motrors lis is 7n Loaf.
