The paradise pre figured in Holy Writ is to he popula' ed by the gene rations of the nineteenth century. Spears are to be chat.ged into reaping-hooks, and swords into pl. ugh shares. So at lea-t say the secretaries, and the chair men, and the orators of the Peace Association. Now we must acknowledge at once that we should he rather embarrassed to accou°t for an agitation of this character taking place at a period so glaringly and preposterously inappropriate, but that hkory has already shown again and again that nations are liable at intervals to such ebullitions of excitement, and that in proportion to the impracticability of their aspira tions, so are the promoters of those aspirations san guine as to their fulfilment. Many apposite quota tions might be made upon this particulai from Sir Thomas BROWNE'S " Vulgar Errors," and from Dr. MACKAY'S " Extraordinary Popular Delusions." What! we are on the eve of a universal amity among all nations and races, if we are to believe the assuaging and mellifluous harangues of the members of the Peace Society. And at the very time they are telling us this, the public attention is stunned by the noise of war from all parts of the Continent. Denmark is struggling desperately against the robber-forces of Germany. Regiments are marching And counter-marching between Saxony, and Bavaria, and Prussia, between Stutgardt, and ➢lunich, and Berlin. The Hungarians are battling with the whole strength of their patriotism against the lesions of two colossal empires. Russia is pushing forward her 401diers from one direction, and Austria from another. fhe Magyars are consolidating their new liberties under KOSSUT ', and the Poles are preparing to rise in arms in obedience to the encouraging voice of DEMBINSKI. In the Roman peninsula the tumult of conflict is, if possible, still more audib:e. In northern Italy the roar of the Austrian artillery is heard at Venice. In central Italy the Germans are battering down the walls of Ancona, and the French are fight ing hand to hand between the barricades of the Eternal City. In southern Italy the stench of the Neapolitan gunpowder has hardly yet cleared away from the ruined cities of the Sicilians. At the very moment when we are told to prepare for a general brotherhood among races—international war is raging ill over Europe! Nor is this the only contradiction glaring through the flimsy sentimentalisnis of the apostles of the Pacific Doctrine, or, a 3 we should rather call it, of the Pacific Impossibility. Not only does ancient, modern, nay, contemporary history, the history of the time now flying over our heads, of which this evening's impression of our journal is one of the pages—not only does the history of the Past end of the Present show, in characters of blood and flame, that we are always liable to War in conse quence of the infirmities incident to our nature, but all Annalists, both dead and living, proclaim the fact that the perpetual preservation of Peace within the boundaries of any do minion is wholly and obviously impracticable. Why, look at France, look at America, look at Ire land, look at Engler-id. For want of any better reason for contention in the United States the more pugnacious citizens of New York actually seized the other day upon the rival claims of a couple of actors for popularity as a cases Belli 1 and fire-arms were required to restore the rioters to order, and to preserve the lives and properties of the unoffending majority of the population. In Ireland, again, the brawling of a party of political incendiaries only last year rendered it necessary to have recourse to strong measures of repression ; and that man must be wholly devoid of rational judgment who can deny for one in,tant that the prevention of further agrarian asses• sinations has been the result of the presence of troops and of the vigorous policy of the Viceroy, Lord CLARENDON. In our own country the necessity for preparation against internal anarchy and external violence has been conspicuously illustrated by the quietude preserved by ourselves, while almost all the rest of the European powers are contending one against another, and the tranquillity with which our Government has been conducted, while our neigh • bours have been agonized by the spasms of revolution. But in France, especially, the impossibility of ever organizing an effectual system of arbitration has been demonstrated in a voice of thunder. Supposing it had taken arbi tration as its 2Egis from war with the rest of the world. What arbitration could it have effected by any chance between the depraved Monarchy and the outraged People in FebruAry ? IVhat arbitration could have sprung up in June between the moderate Republicans devoted to order and the ultra-democrats intoxicated with their lust aft-r rapine and anarchy ? Look at the heroic Archbishop of Paris, DENIS FERE ! Why, arrayel in his sacerdotal robes, and bearing the olive branch in his hand, he was shot down at the foot of the barricades. Talk of arbitra tion between men mai with hatred against one another! Talk of concilia!iyn to people infuriated to a pitch of delirium by their contentions ! With all respect for the common sense of the members of the Peace Association, we cannot but see, and know, and feel, that so long as human nature is human nature, such ideas are nothing more nor less than sheer Nonsense. Last evening there was a meeting of the Peace Vr.ter Hall. This emi:.g, which has evoked thzti society will be advocated io the House of Commons by a di-tinguished Mem her of the Lower !louse of Pm-!lament, we mean the lienourable Gentleman the representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire. We regret to s ee the time of the community at large, and espe cially the time of the Imperial Legisla'ure. w:isted upon notions so perfectly idle and visionary. That Mr. Emitu BURRITT, honourably known to fame as the Learned Blacksmith, is a very amiable, as well as a very clever man, we doubt not for one moment. But' we certainly must be allowed to question the clearness of that man's judgment who thinks it at all likely that BOTTOM'S figure of speech can be realized in nature, and that Lions can be coaxed into "roar ing like any i.ucking dove !" That Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. STURGE should participate in the labours of the Peace Association can scarcely be matter of surprise, considering that as members already of a religiously amicable association, the Society of Friends, the question is not to them so much one of Reason as one of Creed and of Cloth. But that Mr. COBDEN should have allowed himself to be infected by this very futile yearning—comparable only to the child squalling for the moon as for agood s'zed sugar-plum—is to us matter of astonishment. An astonishment, by the way, not at all diminished on finding that he is actually going this evening to dance the tarentella of Arbitration upon the flour of the Senate at Westminster ! Olteninit LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1849. Arbitration has just now set a number of respect able persons dancing after it, as though it were a will o' the wisp flickering to the music of the taren tella 1 The thing has ravished the people out of their senses, and is consequently decoying them into all manner of vagaries and grotesque demonstrations. It is not so much " a movement" that we have to talk about now; a movement implying something int meaeurably more sedate and deliberate; it is rather a sort of political, social, and religious fandango danced to a jarg,in of sentimentality which, to the per formers themselves sounds very like the melcy'y of the spheres, but w hi c h to ourselves bears a marvellous re semblance to the diakct of the phi losophers seen by I.Ealuei. GULLIVER in the Floating Island—the patois 4:f eccentricity, the language of hallucination ! We don't recollect ever •wi.nesbing a more angelic enthusiasm —one more plentifully overfl ,wing, not with the milk on l y, b ut 'with the cream of human kindness. Arcadia w a s nothing to it ! Utopia a mere land of commonplace! Icarie a matter of course ! Atalanta an absurdity ! For the truth is, we are to realize—not to talk about, but to realize—the Millennium. All the dreams that lave ever been dreamed by the most imaginative The debate in the House of Commons on Friday evening was rendered interesting by-the' speeches" of the Hon. Members for Middlesex and the Univer sity on roosu,fs landlords,De o u n h s l e i n ea i n n ncde s w t h tno i ac all ltis hpbaeyyr parties eh a se b ee l oys estates exposed he t ri che . h e they are interested being placed under the control and management of the Court of Chancery. Many complaints have from time to time been preferred against Irish landlords. Their neglect and apathy with respect to the improve ment of their lands and the interests of their tenantry, have been repeatedly commented upon in the most glowing language; but comparatively little has been said of the worst of all pthisible landlords—the Re ceiver of the Court of Chancery. Every vestige of hope vanishes the moment an e state is brought within the jurisdiction of that Court : improve meats cease, labourers are thrown out of em ployment, everything is permitted to go to ruin. The landlord endeavours to obtain all he possibly can out of the lands. The relationship that formerly existed between himself and his tenantry is forthwith dissolved. He can nu longer encourage the indus trious and improsing occupier; he cannot make allowances for improvements, or exhibit indulgeres to the poor but honest man, who would liquidate every demand, to the utmost extent of his powers, and whose' unmerited misfortunes constitute the strongest claitns to forbearance. .Neither can he compel the man able, but unwilling to pay, to satisfy his just liabilities. A trifling assistance judiciously aft 'Med might pro bably enable the former to recover his p,sition, and to become one of the most valuable tenants on the estate. A little gentle coercion might compel the latter to disgorge his s, , cret hoards, anal to give up the funds which he had accumulated out of the proceeds of his holding ; but neither can be effected at the proper moment, and the deserving an is irretrievably ruined, while -he rogue, who is well versed in re c , iver and who knows exa •tly how far he can preceed bt-fore he can be either clistrained or ejected from his holding, laughs at the parties, and ultimately absconds to some other locality with his ill-gotten gains. In the great nujority of cases the receiver is a perfect stranger to the parties. Residing at a considerable distance from the lands, which he only visits on stated occasions, he knows nothing of the tenantry, or of the capabilities of the several farms. It signifies little to him whether the lands are judiciously and properly cultivated or otherwise. He has no interest in making any inquiries fur which he cannot be remunerated in any manner. -He strives in 'the first instance to obtain all the money he can, be cause his profi-s depend on the amount he may re ceive, from which he is permitted to deduct a per centage of five pi , r cent. ; and secondly, he must proceed according to the established rules of the Court, although he may thereby occasion a very useless expenditure to the estate. By so doing he saves him self from the censure of the Master, and in too many instances he is under a secret agreement with the solicitor, directly interested in the costs that may be incurred. lie cannot accept surrenders from paupers who are utterly unable to pay the arrears. They must be evicted in due form of law, and the costs of these ejectments will form a very serious charge upon the sums received from the more solvent tenants, a small portion of which would have provided for the emi gration of the wretched beings who, driven from their humble homes to the union workhouse, become per manent burdens on that and the neighbouring estates. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN long since perceived the injurious results of this system, and directed the attention of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland to them. He pointed out the necessity of increasing the powers of the Court in creditor suits, but unfor tunately the sound advice he tendered was never acted upon, and the evils of the system have not only been continued, but even materially increased ; for the rental of the estates in the hands of receivers, which in 1843 amounted to 563,0221. 4d. only, now amount to no less than 2,000,000/. sterling, or about one-sixth of the entire landed property of the country. There is, we are happy to say, at length a prospect of some steps being taken to remedy this intoler able grievance. Lord JouN RUSSELL fully ad mitted the extent of the evils so graphically depicted by Messrs. O'EORNE and NAPIER, and declared that he was prepared to give his cordial assent to the appointment of a Committee to inquire into and report on the suiject. The Noble Lord also intimated that one portion of the duties of such Committee would be to ascertain whether the system of appointing receivers has not been carried too far under the existing law. At present, if a judgment has been recovered against a party, if he is indebted for tithe rent charge, in fact, if there is any claim which he is able immediately to discharge, a receiver will be appointed over his lands, enormous expenses' incurred, and the tenantry wholly demorali,ed before they can be emancipated from the thraldom. We would not desire to take away just and reasonable remedies from creditors, but surely, it would be far better for all parties that a portion of the estate should be sold sufficient to satisfy the de mands upon the proprietor, or, if that should be impossible, then that the owner should be permitted to remain in receipt of the rents and management of the property upon giving security to pay a certain proportion of the rents into court, for distribution among his creditors By permitting the owner to he himself the receiver many of the evils that now exist would be avoided, and sufficient precautions might be taken to prevent any injury to the rights of the incumbrancers. 1 1 1 IE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The PRESIDENT of the Republic on hearing of the death of Marshal BUGEAUD, addressed the following letter to Colonel FERRAT, the son-in-law of the ,Marshal •-r -"My dear Colonel,—l need not tell you how much I am afflicted at hearing the news of Marshal Bugeuall'a death. It is an immk rise loss for France and tor me. As for his family, it is natural that they should be in consolable, and for that reason I cannot attempt to assuage your grief except in giving expression to mine. "Believe in my complete affection, " Elysee, June 10. - "LOUIE NAPOLEON." It appears that the announcement that General Ountsu.T was in Rome was at least premature, it is true that he has obtained possession of the Monte Pincio, but he has been defeated at and driven from the Villa Pamphili, which has been retaken by the Unmans, and has suff-red such enormous losses that he has been c livened to ask fur an armistice of twenty four hours to bury his dead, a request which was at once granted. These facts were yester day stited at the Tribune of the Ntrional Assembly by M. LEDRU ROLLIN, and were not contradicted by M. ODILON BARROT, who merely stated that he had not seen any dispatches from Rome of a later. date than the 4th. M. LEDRU ItoLLIN then declined to put the interpellations to the Ministers- of: which he had given notice, on the subject of Roman affairs ; but, instead, laid on the taWe articles of impeachment against the Paresprisrr -of the Republic and his 2.l.:Li•ters for violating the Constitution by the manner in which the.; had conducted this .Roman war, and proposing that they should be referred durgence to the bureaux. This was done in a calm, yet deter mined inaliter, which produced an itrim,nse effect on the Assembly. There was no tumult, no violence ; the Mountain sat silent, yet determined ; and M ODILON BARROT, who im med a ely ruse to defend the conduct of the Government, : was listened to without interruption. His speech however, was coldly received even by his own sup porters. The debate had not finished when the post lett. That the conduct of the PRESIDENT and his Ministers has been In this afflir a direct violation of the constitu ion there can be no doubt, but there can he equally little doubt that such violation does not authorise any other persons in committing other violations of the same Constitution ; and we are therefore rejoiced to find that the Constitutional Re publicans are having recourse to constitutions! tiletho(is to bring the violators of the constitution to justice. So long as they confine themselves to these tneans, they are sure of ultimate success, and neither the physical force of CnANGAaNIER nor the intrigues of DE FALLOUX will be of any avail to screen the guilty from justice. The conduct of the Government in this Roman affair has thoroughly disgusted every party in France, save the ultra Montanists ; it is considered a return to the worst practices of the old regime. The friends of M. DUFAURE met yesterday to take the Roman question into consideration. M. D'ADIL• SWAERD 'proposed that the meeting should request MM. Durauag, DE TOCQUEVILLE, and LANJUINAIS to decline ail responsibility in the foreign policy of the late Cabinet. fie also proposed that the party should support an ordre de jour motive, implying blame to the Government. MM. PAULIN, GILLON, and PIORTIMER TMtNAUX opposed this proposition. Plitt-en or twenty of ,the members forming the ini- - nority retired' from the meeting, and those who re mained merely adopted a resolution by which a committee of five was nominated to draw up a plan upon which the party should act. Some days since M. Duranas wrote to General LAMORICIERE, wl.O is at present sojourning at Nantes, r. questing him to return to Paris and support the Mi nistry in the Legislative Assembly, to which Genera LAMORICIERE replied that he could not give his sup port to the present Ministry, and that he was surprised to find that M.

A meeting of the sth Le g i on of the terPturi National Guard of Paris, has been called for the purpose of protesting against "the fratricidal war declared by the PRESIDENT against the Roman Republic," in hopes that such a strong manifestation on the part of the French people may have the effect of putting an end to " that impious war in which brothers are cut , ting each other's throats, who ought to have been brought together by the French Republic under the same flag for the defence of European democracy." The Archbishop of PARIS has addressed a pastoral letter to the clergy of his diocese, prescribing to them all to put up a series of prayers to the ALMIGHTY for a cessation of the cholera, and announcing that on the 18th he would celebrate pontifically, in the metropo litan church of Notre Dame, a votive mass of Sainte Geeevieve, preceded by a procession of the relics of that holy patroness of Paris. The letter concludes with a general dispensation from abstinence so long as the epidemy may continue. The Alioister of Public Works has issued an order to the engineers and architects engaged in the di rection of the works of the Government, directing them to adopt every precautionary measure to pro tect their workme n ag ai ns t th e preva iling epidemy, and to render them every assistance in case uf attack. They are also to forward to the Minister an account of the measures they have adopted, or which they may believe to be necessary, in order that the credits required for such extraordinary expenses may be provided. The Council, General of the Bank of France has placed at t he command of the Prefect of the Seine a sum of 25,000 F. to be divtributed among the fami lies of such poor people as may become victims of the cholera. Madame CATALAN', who has so long been admired for her vooal talents, and whose name is so dear to all who have had opportunities of appreciating her high character and elevated mind, is at present in Paris, where she has not been for many years. She has just attained her 70th year, but appears much younger, and enjoys excellent health. The Bank of France has given notice that it has now a sufficient quantity of 100 f. notes to replace the green ones of that amount which were tempo rarily issued, and that the holders of the latter may have them exchanged on presentation. The body of Marshal BUGEAVD has been embalmed and dre,sed in full uniform as a Marshal of France, with his baton in his hand and his sword by his side. The funeral is to take place to-morrow. General MEEROSLAWSKI has left Paris to take the command of the Baden insurgents. PARIS BOURSE.--MONDAY, JuNs_ll. THREE O'CLOCK. -- The Funds opened 1 per cent. below Saturday's closing prices, but they gradually proved, and closed ultimately the same as on Saturday.

The insurgents have defeatedthe Bavarian and Hessian triiops at Bergstrasse, anti driven them back to Henshiem. WURTEMBURG. Accounts have been received from Stutgardt to the 9th ult. They do not confirm the rumour that a revolution had occurred in that city. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on that day the Minister DuvERNAis communicated the pro clamation against the Provisional Regency, and in vited the. Chamber to explain itself frankly upon the point.. Several members demanded that it should be referred to the committee of 15 ; others ins'sted that the debate should take place at once. After a long discussion the Chamber decided against its im mediate discussion, and agreed to refer it to the Com - mittee by a majority of 69 to 14.

COPENHAGEN, JUNE 6.—The diplomatic corps were present at a sitting in which the Km; sanctioned the fundamental law. The absence of the Russian Am bassador (Baron D'UNGERN STER'NBERG) and that of the Prince of HESSE, the presumptive heir to the throne, and so n i n l aw o f t h e Emper o r N ICHOLAS, was the subject of remark. It is known that the CZAR is opposed to the Constitution. I: is even said that the Prussian flet t vt as promised on the express condition that the Constitution should not be sanc tioned. It is for this reason, doubtless, that they have not arrived. Yesterday the KING pronounced the closing o f th e Diet with a spEech in which he gave his a , sent to the fundamental law. In dissolving the Diet his MAJESTY reserved to himself the right of re-assem bling it, in case the unjust and cruel war against Denmark should render it necessary. ROYAL VISI T To THE IIAYMARKET.—We und,r st,thd that her Alajesty intends honouring the Theatre Royal Haymarket with her presence this evening, in order to witness the admirable performance of Mr. and Uri , 0. lien as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, ITAL Y. Accounts have been received from Rome of the 4th. GARIBALDI arrived there on the 31st and took part in the action of the 4th with the French. made three sorties on that day, drove the French from their positions at the Villa Pampinli, and took three companies prisoners. The Spanish forces under CORDOVA. landed at Gaeta on the 29th ult. The Tuscan Moniteur publishes a circular of the Ministry to the chiefs of departments, that the form of government in Tuscany is to be a monarchy, limited by a constitution. The Mercantile Courier of Genoa, of the 6th inst., contains a correspondence from Ancona, to the effect that the AuArians had failed in an attempt to effect a landii.g; and that an Austria 2.1 corvette, which ap proached the ramparts, was so much damaged as to have to be towed sway by a steamer. RA DETZICY was at Verona according to the last accounts. SICILY. FILANGIERI has published a manifesto, announcing that the KING has appointed his eldest son the Duke of CALABRIA (a youth of fourteen) to be his repre sentative at Palermo. The Opinione of Turin of the 6th mentions an order issued by General FILANGIERI on the 19th ult., directing that all the arms in possession of the inhabi tants of Palermo, National Guards excepted, should be given up within lOrty-eight hours. THE TREASURY AND THE DIS SOLUTION OF THE LATE BOARD OF STANIPS. A pamphlet is now lying before us, which we read at the time of its appearance with great interest. It is entitled, "Letters addressed to the Right Hon. Lord Granville Somerset, the Right Lion. the Earl of Ripon, the Right Hon. Frankland Lewis, and the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn: on the Ex►raordinary Proceedings connected with the sudden and hitherto unexplained Dissolution of the late Board of Stamps." The correspondence between the Lords of the Trea sury and Mr. Sedgwick, the ex-chairman of that. Board, which has recently appeared in the Liverpool Mercury, and which has attracted much public at tention, recalled this pamphlet to our mind. Its contents are fresh in our memory, for they are not of a kind to be soon forgotten, hut the correspondence redoubled the interest we took in it, and we now again turn to it with the intention of recording in our Columns the remarks which we made as we went on upon the conduct of the Lords of the Treasury in dis solving a revenue Board, remarkable for the satisfac tion it had always given in the dispatch of the public business, and against which no complaint had ever been made. We remember well that its sudden dis solution caused the greatest surprise, and until the letters of Mr. Sedgwick to Mr. Wallace appeared in the Morning Chronicle, which we read at the time with great interest, and a copy of which we have by us, no one could get at the cause of it. But the pam phlet, the title of which we have here given, furnishes a clue to the whole matter. A tran-action more scandalous, or brought about by means more disgraceful to the Treasury, never yet came before us. It would not be credited, were it not attested by facts that admitted of no dispute. Their Lordships, it appeared, had long been aware, from the great defalcation in the legacy and probate duties in Scotland, and that this defalcation was owing to the negligence, or some thing worse, of the solicitor, Mr. Bremner, under whose collection they were, and had been for nearly forty years; and having had full experience of Mr. Sedgwick's great activity of mind and talent for business, their Lordships required him, about three months after he had taken h►s seat as chairman of the Stamp Board, to repair to Edinburgh, and there to investigate the mode in which the management_ of those important duties was conducted in the solicitor's office, and to report to their Lord-hips fully thereon. He accordingly, under their special Treasury war rant, proceeded to execute the arduous duty imposed upon him. How he found matters on his arrival is thus graphically related in his letter to the Treasury of the Bth of February last, which makes part of the recent correspondence : " In obedience to the above direction I immediately repaired to Edinburgh. I had not proceeded far in my investigation whea I found the system of collusion and mismanagement to be flagrant beyond all conception. Not only was ne register kept by the solicitor of wills and probates (Mr. Bremner), bat no entry-book of any kind, showing either the duties payable upon them, or the duties received. In every other branch of this de partment the same absence of all check upon fraud pre vailed. No record had ever been kept of the prosecu tions instituted for offences against the stamp laws, nor of the penalties recovered." lie then goes on to state the mode of conducting the proceedings, which will be read with astonish ment. " The mode of conducting the proceedings was of the most extriordinary kind ; it was thus :—A prose cution was commenced, and a brief given to the Lord Advocate ; but when the case came on for trial, inste,ad of being heard and decided by the Court, it was referred, at the suggestion of the solicitor, to th, Lord Advocate, who thus became at once the public prosecutor and the private referee, and proceeded to award whatever amount of penalty he thought prop.-r without hearing either the party or his witoesses 1 H ,ving rue ived his tee as COUN - SEL F , R THE CROWN, he received a second fee es AR. BITRATOR, on putting his initials to his award. And this was done not in one case only, but in every case. Those pr, duced before me had the initials of Mr. Col quhoun, the then Lord Advocate. Such a course of proceeding, which in England would be deemed in credible, was in Scotland the regular and recognised practice." - So monstrous were the abuses which the Chair man's investigations brought to light, that the Board of Stamps thought their duty to the public required that they should suspend him with the view to his ultimate removal, which they did, and appointed an interim solicitor, a Mr. Renny, under whose dili gence and activity the stamp revenue in Scotland began to double and treble its former return. The Lord Advocate, and the other official autho• rities in Edinburgh, soon began to miss Mr. Bremner and the profitable system of abuse to which they had been so long accustomed, and out of which they had such pretty pickings, and they immediately set all their influence in motion to get his suspension re moved, and to procure his re instwennent in office. The nurnh.r arid value of Scotch votes are calculated to a nicety in Downing-street; a general election was approaching ;no time was to be 10-. t; and a Treasury Minute was accordingly prepared and forwarded to the Board of Stamps, removing Mr. Bremner's suspension and ordering his immediate restoration. As the appointed guardians of the public purse, " my Lords" claim the privilege of applying to their own political purposes the property of the nation at large. We shall show how lavishly they have exercised this privilege, not only in this particular instance, but on al occasions In here electioneering influence is to he maintained Scotch j , ,bs are proverbial: it any one ask, through what agency they are managed, the letters we adverted to in the outset will furnish the best materials for an answer. In the present instance the subject is so curious a one as to be well worth a detailed examination; and it is'our intention to sift it thoroughly. The result will well reward the public attention. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. ROSS V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The Attorney-General had obtained a rule, in this case, calling upon the Great Western Railway Company to show cause why they should not permit him to inspect the whole of the books of the company. It appeared that Mr. Ross represented a gentleman named Mackin tosh, deceased, who had possessed a large stake in the Concern. In order to obtain access to the books of the company he clothed himself with the power of a creditor and demanded, under the 138th section of the Acts by which the company was incorporated, to inspect the books in order that he might ascertain the exact value of the property left by Mr. Mackintosh. He bad been permitted to see several books, but he complained that he had only been allowed to see the receipt books, whilst others were withheld from him. Sir FITZROY KELLY showed cause against the rule, and produced the affilavits of Mr. &mews''s, the secre tary of the company, and affidavits of several of the officers, setting forth that,,,the applicant was shown the books of receipts and expenditure, which contained all the transactions of the company, and that they were scrupulously correct. Indeed, he had been permitted to inspect ail the books sp,cified in the 138.11 section of the Act. It was true he was not allowed to see the whole of the books, which were most voluminous, and com prised almost a library, but the books he saw contained the general totals of the whole of them. If he were en titled to see the whole of the books he would become most improperly acquainted with all the private trans- actions of the company, such as particulars with respect to loans, notes, and mortgages of the company. In order to remove any imputation that the company was unwil ling to have its books inspected, he should be happy to submit them all to the view of one of the Masters of the court. It was a groundless application, made not as in the case of an ordinary creditor, but for an indirect pur pose, and he submitted that the rale should be discharged with costs. Mr. MILLS followed on the same side. The ATTORNEY : GENERAL spAte in support of the rule. The Acts spoke in the plural number. Lord PENMAN. said the Act spoke of "a berk;” but it was obvious that more than one book was required. He.conterided that the Act meant the: a creditor should I inspect the .whole of the books used by the company ; otherwise, how cou ld th, real qato of .. the company— how could the condition of a merchant's affairs be ascer tained and valued, except the whole of his books were inspected? To produce such books as those stated was a mere delusion. If they said they had no such books, he admitted that would be an answer; but it they had, a creditor, in the position of Mr. Ross, was entitled to inspect them all. Mr. J. BROWN was heard on the same side. lb' COURT th"light the company had substantially court lied with the provisions of the Att. The book hp. c tied as the o CoOkt a person had a right to see.

Mr. Sergeant Sinn - addressed the Court in mitigatioo of punishment on behalf of Mr. Bickley, who has been for twenty years an attorney of the Court. Mr. M. GRANDEES followed on behalf of Mrs, Linley. An affidavit was produced by Mr. Kendall, which was read by one of the Masters. It stated that having been absent from England for many years, he was not aware on his return that the aching of a cadetship was en illegal act. 'lke ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he was not instructed to press for undue severity towards the defendant!; nut he tru,ted the Court would support the Legislature in putting a stop to a traffic of this kind. He then recalled the attention of the Court to the facts of the case. The Court could not fail to be of opinion that the whole of the defendants were perfectly aware of the illegality of the transaction in which they all embarked. Mr. Justice PATTESON passed sentence upon the de fendants—Mr.Kendall to twelve months' iqqarisonment in the Queen's Prison, and to pay a fi ne of 1,0001., and to be imprisoned until the fine be paid; Mr. Bickley to one year's imprisonment; Mrs. Binckes the same; and Mrs. Liuley six months. The defendants were then removed in custody. EXCHEQ UE it IS ➢A► Y.) (Sittings in Banco.) IN THE MATTER OF THhTHANDIERBIII . ITH RENT CHARGE. JUDGMENT. Mr. LUSH, on a form.TrocTasion, obtained a rule this case calling on the vicar of Hammersmith to show cause why an order, directing the Sheriff of Mb:idle:l , x to assess for certain arrears of rent charge, in hey of tithes, in the parish of Hamm. rilrith, should not be set aside, together with the subsequent proceedings. Cause was shown some terms ago, and the judgment of the Court was suspended. It ai peered that the particu• tars of the ease were as follow:—An attorney at Hum inerstrith allotted to a poor man a piece of laud to cul , tivate for his own use and benefit; an,r, in consequence or his poverty, the magistrates exempted him from the payment of rates and taxes. • The Inter, however, did not relinquish his claim to the tithes, which were com muted into a rent charge, but prosecuted it by distrait,- irig for the amount. After some interlocutory proceed ings, a Judge's order was obtained directing the Sheriff of Middlesex to summon a jury and proceed to trial, for the purpose of assessing the amount of arrears. The case was accordingly heard in spite of a notice trots the other side, to the effeet that, as the order for trial had been obtain ex parte, it must be considered null and void. Mr. Baron PAItKE was of opinion that the rule ought to be made absolute, on the ground that the Judge'- order for as sess i ng t h e vicar's claim could not be ob tained ex parte. The Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr: Baron Matt, took a different view of the case. The) considered that it had been for some time the general practice of the Court to grant such orders, and were of option that the rule ought to be discharged. The rule was accordingly discharged. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Sir PETER LAURIE.) TUE CASE OF PATRICK HAT. At the sitting ot the Cour, tbi. morning Patrick Hay, charged with traudulenily obtaining min ey from a c:ergyman, was called upon to surrender and take it't trial, but, as he did not appear, his recognizlnces Wert estreated. Mr. RYLAND, who appeared for the prosecutor by di rection of the Court, ea;d there were two inchc:ments against Patrick flay, one for having fraudulently ob tained the money, and the other Tor having Alvez conspired to otraiin ir, and apt Hay had not surrendered, there would be great difficulty in proceeding with tte indictment for conspiring against Alvtz, and would only be wasting the time of the Court. The RECORDER—The rtcognizances had better be estreattd at once, and a certificate sent to the Exche quer, and let the indictment for conspiring be postomed till next session, and Alyea discharged on his own recog nizances for 2001. Thomas Jones pleaded Guilty to burglary in the dwel ling- hothe of Henry Brett, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. James Green, described as a tailor, pleaded Guilty to feloniously breaking into and entering the dwel ling-house of 'Robert Davis, and stealing therein .four pairs of boots, three shoes, and other articles, value 61., and was sentenced to imprisonment for twelve months, with hard labour. Thomas Stain, a wadding maker, aged 42, was in• dieted for st ealing a handkerehief; value Is. 6d., the pro perty of Charles Burton. The prosecutor, on Saturday, the 14th of May, lost his handkerchief, which was afterwards in possession of the prisoner. The prisoner said he picked it up, and was seeking the owner, when he was given into custody. He was found Guilty, gnu ienteneeti to seven years' transportation, a iormer conviction having been exhibited against him. _AL W Coi;/i T. (Be fore the Col m*/ k`,ERGEANT.)

The Cotton M rket at Liverpool yesterday was ac:ve, 8.000 balers having changed hands at the lull currency ot last week. The sales included 3,000 Areericati . fer ex port and on speculation.—lu Railway Shares but little business was done, and generally at lower prices. The markets for colonial produce are rather quiet, but there is no particular change in prices. Letters of late date have been received frem the prin c;pal stock markets abroad. At Vienna on the 6th inst. the funds were well supported, and shares were higher at Berlin on the Bth inst.; there was likewise a more favourable disposition, and improved prices were paid. At Frankfort on the 9th inst. these was an advance in Austrian Stock, but no change in other securities. The Five per Cent. Austrian Bonds were at 73. A scale of pilot dues has been arranged at Ostend, which is of some length, but it may suffice to say, that in summer the-charges will range from 18f. to 130 e 50c., and in winter from 211. to 139 e 50c. for vessels drawing 14 to 55 decimetres. The American advices are considered favourable, and the rate if exchange on England was up to 1081 A most important matter for railway sharehelders in general is a better system of account keeping, and we could_wish that there was a little more unanimity on this point. Some parries are in favour ot the introduction of an official auditor, paid by the company, and appointed by the shareholder s , i nstea d of the appointment of mere honorary supervisors, b u t fi rst i n i mportaece is the adop tion ot a stated plan which will serve as a sure founda tion for the future, arid remove the admitted complica tion that now exists. Mr. Samuel Notley, a professional man, furnishes acme suggestions for the diauagemsnt of railway accounts, and a word or two on audit, and among other remares states:— " As the accountant proceeded he would meet with expenditure, which, from its mvgnttude, from the con tracts known to he entered into, or from other causes, he would at once perceive affected revenue for a longer pe riod than the year. As regerdid this class, he would have to bear iu mind the frequent change that is taking place in the proprietary, and the injustice it would be to burthen many of whom it at present consisted through the diminution or their dividend, for the benefit ot those who might come in afterwards. It is quite clear that by charging revenue at once with such expenditure, the former would, in all probability, receive a twofold injury —first, by a reduced dividend; and, secondly, by the sale:'of shares at a reduced market price. This class of expen diture can only occur atter a lapse of years, through wear and tear, either of the permanent way or rolling stock, and when, it is to be presumed, a depreciation fund' sufficient to cover it would be in existence; but, whether or not the salutary precaution of making such a provision had been taken, the accountant, un, aided by others, would not be the competent party to decide what portion of such expenditure to charge to the revenue CA . the current halt-year. It is only through the watchfulness of the board, or its finance committee, over the expenditure of the company, that error under this lead could be guarded against. The requisite estimate can always be obtained from the proper quarter, and they have then only to direct the accountant to be furnished with a copy of their minute, setting forth how such expenditure is to be treated. We have heard a great deal about items of this kind being charged to capital; or, in other wordy to ore of those accounts in which the capital stands invested; but it is difficult to imagine how so g eat an error could be committed without early detection, unless through the wilful intention of deceiving not only the share holders, but the public at large. A mere glance at the balance-sheet vvuuld show a certain amount of • net re venue, hut the avai!abla assets would at once appear in sufficient to divide such amount amongst the proprietors. Would it not, uudor such circumstances, eccur to the ' least initiated in accounts to put the question • How can such an amount of net revenue have been made, if it is nowhere to be found?" We answer unhesitatingly that it would occur to any one, and that the simple reason why shareholders sanc tioned in many instances the payment of dividends which they were aware bad not been earned was, that they hoped for such an increase of traffic and general prosperity as would have maintained the dividends, and met the deficiency of past earnings. So far a great mis take has been made on all sides, and while regretting that mismanagement or extravaganbe have made the matter even worse, we have but to hope for better times. • This is account day in the English Stock Market, and there has been a rise in cons+ quence, buyers having taken up stock in many instances. It must be remembered also that the dividend due in about three weeks is included in the present Consols prices of 92 to for delivery. and 92 to 92} or the openieg.
