(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) THE QUEEN V. ELLIS AND GREENWOOD. In this case a rule was ohtaired calling upon the defendants Magistrates of the West Riding of York shire, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, commanding them to grant a warrant of dis tress against the goOds of Thomas Wall, an inhabi tant of the township of Keightley, who had been rated to a rate of 18s. .for the relief of the poor of the said Union. It appeared that Wall was lessee of certain tenements in the parish of Keightley, devised by a person named John Drake in 1713, t .r the pur pose of maintaining a free school and a qualified master. The testator also; desired that the parish of Keightley would exempt .the tenements from all rates and im positions. A demand for poor-rate being made in May last from Wall, he refused to pay, on the ground that his property was not subject to the rate. The overseers of the parish upon this applied to the Magis trates of the Keightley Union for a warrant of dis tress to levy the rate, which they refused, entertaining doubts as to the legal liability of Wall to pay the rate. This refusal was endorsed by Mr. Ellis and two other Magistrates named Greenwood. The overseers then applied to - the Magistrates of Skipton, who refused to enter upon the. case. A second application was thin made to the Magistrates of Keightley, two of whom refused to grant the warrant, two others being inclined to do so. A rule nisi to compel them was therefore granted. Mr. HALL now showed cause against the rule. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Baines were hesrd in support of it.—Judgment deferred. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. GLOBE.--fiir Robert Peel, at the Lord Mayor's dinner yesterday, asserted as amongst the objects of the policy of his Cabinet, "to encourage the demand for labour, and to extend the commercial prosperity of the country." Somebody has defined a knave a fool with a circurnbendibus. Sir Robert Peel is a free-trader a circurnbendibus. It may be ques tioned whether the circurnbendibus does not spoil the -free trader, as it does the fool. Your simple natural fool, like neighbour Flaniboraugh, in the Vicar of Wakefield, prospers, one might almost say, by sheer virtue of his recog nised blockheadism. Everybody is disposed to trust him in his dealings, as nobody thinks him capable of craft. But your fool with a circumbendibus circumvents himself, much more than others. Nobody deals with him who can help it, for all appreciate his talents for taking in. It may be questioned, we say, whether the circumbendibus po licy is better in public than in private dealings. It is a policy -which can only indicate folly or knavery, either in the practitioner, or in those he has to manage, or in both. If Sir R. feel cannot open the foreign corn trade by straightforward methods, his ma.nifest disposition to do so by a circumbendibus, shows how insidious was his professed opposition to the Whig measure, his professed championship of the Sliding Sca!e. His sliding scale, as Lord Palmerston pro phesied, seems.. proving a slippery thing indeed. Sir Robert Peel's manoeuvres, as regards the external corn trade, remind us of nothing so much as the underground engineering of the Rat of Dutch re nown, whose hole in a dyke let in the sea on a pro vince. Let Sir Robert Peel exult in his engineering at City dinners! Il!a se jactet in aula Peelus. Let him assert his claim to extending our ccmmerce with a circumbendibus—which, to judge from the state of things in the City, would seem to be rather a long one. Let him be followed in his speech by the Amen can Minister, whose Government is driving at revenue by a circumbendihus, as Sir Robert at trade ; and who contrive (Sir Robert Peel and President Tyler) each to miss his object, precisely by the roundabout direction which each takes to gain it. America, by encouraging the importation of English fabrics at lowered duties—England, by encouraging the impor tation of American grain and flour in like manner — might progressively realise, the one the revenue, the other the trade and abundance wanted. But Sir Robert Peel has contrived that American grain shall come in by a circumbendibus. Nothing that chal• lenges reciprocity—nothing that sets up astandard of sound commercial principle, and entitles our diplomacy to claim the lik e a ppli ca ti on o f th ose pr i nc ipl es on th e part of agricultural America—nothing like this is Sir Robert Peel's method of " extending our commerce." N o thi ng , moreover, i n the way of revenue to this count r y d oes h e see k to secure fixed duty. That would fright en the clod-pole by a con stituents of the Circumbendibus Cabinet. What does he .try then ? Works a hole in the Canadae and United States frontiers—contrives a crannytoletin corn from the United States, through the British provinces—which corn will pay duty, not to Joh n Bull, but to Messrs. llinckes, Baldwin, Lafontaine, and Company, the viceroys ove r the Queen of Eng land's representative in th 3 Canadas—for the defence of which provinces John Bull has already decentish bills to pay, and whose revenues (to be appropriated by the said liinckes, Baldwin, Lafontaine, and Com pany) he will farther have the satisfaction of swelling, by paying the taxes levied by these gentlemen on the grain which we shall get through, their hands, from America, by a circumbendibus. STANI/A.RD.—It may be worth the while to follow the line opened by the Morning Chronicle yes t May, to the extent of again referring to the proceed ings of the Lord Mayor's Day. As our Contemporary sagaciously anticipated would be the case, the _Minis t m-s were not mobbed : they were, on the other hand, received with courtesy and good-will. There was, I.crvever, sufficient mobbing of certain members of the Common Council, to prove that it was the presence of a good feeling towards her Majesty's advisers, not the absence of the mobbing faculty . on the part of the populace, which saved the Ministers from affronts. The tc roper of a n E ng li s h crow d i s nev er savage, but once or buttNVl eeyesterday th e t emper o f th e crowd was anything demure. Still Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues were throughout the objects of respect. The reason of this was fairly givenbthe Whig-Radical Lord Mayor in proposing the health " Though heh of her Majesty's Ministers :-- addilFeredthe from them in politics, he believed the yinterests t of the country at heart; and he unhesitatingly stated his belief that there was no man to whom her Majesty could with more safety entrust the administration of affairs than to Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.)" This is the pervading conviction. Sir Robert Peel is a safe Minister , and a safe Minister is the Minister f that the country wants at the end of ora °' n 4 fif teen years of constant tu rmoi l by violent cha ee n a ge 3 in an extraordinary p er p lexit y of i ts foreign and o nial relations produced b y p revious b l undering's. The character of a safe Minister i s, af ter all, the highest that a statesman can aspire to ; for it includes all the great qualities necessary in public affairs—boldness in great emergencies, forbearance, contentment, and an aversion to experiment " when wealth and peace have blessed the land." Pitt is justly the object of cur grateful admiration—for what ? because he was " The pilot that weathered the storm ;" because he proved himself a safe Minister in circum stances of extraordinary difficulty. Other Ministers may not have had the same opportunities of serving the country by their energy and active courage ; but it will be seen the least, from, generall y ,Burlei lthat those Nv ho experimented secured the greatest amount of happi ness to their clown,the'ron generation, and live most honoured in th e esteem of later ages. There is often as much real heroism in patient contentment as in active enterprise, but thi r circumstances of the 6 e h times in which he lives m us t direction to the s t a t e sman who would earn the proud i title of a safe Minister. — ADkuntrf., NITGENT.—We are happy in being able to state, fi-ol inquiries made at Charing- cross Hos e' ~pital this niOrniiig, that Sir Charles Nugent is going on very favodrsitfly, and little doubt now remains but --that the Gallaiit Admiral, notwithstanding his ad. ~ ..„-*; tli .'

NARROW ESCAPE OF FIVE OF Tux THAMES PO- LlCE.—Yesterday, as the Lord Mayor and the City Companies were proceeding in their State barges up to Westminster, and wherf off Waterloo-bridge, one of the Thames-police boats, containing four men and an inspector, in passing through one of the arches of Waterloo-bridge, came in contact with one of the City barges and instantly capsized. The whole of the men were in an instant of sight; on rising, they were fortunately within reach of the long oars used by the watermen belonging to the City Companies, and being rescued from their perilous situation, they were taken on board, when the citizens administered restoratives to them in the shape of excellent brandy, after which they were sent ashore. With this accident the civic procession reached Westminster Hall; but, upon their return, they were doomed to meet with another accident. To escape the strong current of the tide, which was running up, the steersmen ordered the barges in shore on the Surrey side. On arriving opposite Goding's brewery, the whole of the barges got aground ; where, in spite of great exertions, they remained immovable. The looks of the worthy citizens at the prospect of losing their annual dinner were heart-rending. At length, after about an hour's suspense, the tide rose sufficiently to enable the barges to be got off, and the procession, in due time, set foot on the shore at Blackfriars'- bridge. "IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEATH." —lntelligence of a most awful and melancholy instance of the uncertainty of life was received in this town (Tunbridge), on Saturday afternoon, with feelings of deep regret. On Saturday, the 29th ult., Mr. William Brown, architect and surveyor, was married in our church, on which occasion the bells rang a most merry peal, during which the happy pair proceeded to Brighton to spend the honeymoon; he was suddenly taken ill on Satur day last, and in a fe AT hours was a corpse, thus in the space of one short week was the bridal dress changed for that of a sorrowing widow. Mr. Brown was Secretary to the Tunbridge Gas Com pany, and also to Commissioners for lighting and watch ing the town; he has also for many years been re ' elected to the office of .a Town Warden. Maidstone Journal. DOTTERFL. — SeveraI flocks of these highly-prized birds have been noticed lately on the downs and slves near Amesbury, where very seldom, except in rigorous and severe winters, ii the tbtterel observed in that locality. When dotterels are seen upon the downs, the old shepherds say they are sure of a sharp winter. The golden plover, a bird of the same family, abounds this year in the sheep walks along the downs, and both these birds occasion ally flock together, their feeding, haunts, and habits being similar. A gentleman at Andover, last week, at one discharge of his fowling piece, at a flock of ;olden plovers, passing him - on the wing, succeeded in bringing down ten of these choice birds, and one cletterel.— Salisbury Herald. DESPERATE OUTRAGE AND GALLANT RESISTANCE. (From the Nenach Guardian.) At Bnllygraigue, in the vicinity of this town, on th.i ri ;11t of Monday, a number of men broke into the house of James and John Power. James, who was in the act of reading a religious book for his infirm mother, had a pistol pointed at his head by a miscreant, who swore that he would soon change his devotion, and ordered him to go on his knees until he shot him. The young man, notwithstanding the pistol being presented at him, sprung, lion- like, on his intended murderer, and wrung the pistol from his grasp, exclaiming, at the same time, "That if he was to die, it would not be on his knees." Two more ruffians rushed in to the rescue of their accomplice, beat Power to the ground, and deprived him of the pistol. John Power now joined his bro • ther; and having knocked down one of the fellows, who was trampling cn his brother; a pistol was pre sented at him, with an execration that his brains would be blown out if be stirred a hand. Henry . Power, who had been in bed, now came to the assist ance of his brothers, armed with a shovel, and cleaved the head of the ruffian who held the pistol ; the miscreant fell, and while down, he gave him three blows of the edge of the shovel. Seven or eight men broke into the house, every second man of whom was armed with a pistol ; the candle being ex tinguished, the conflict became general and des - perate, and there can be no doubt but it was the fear of shooting some of their own party that prevented the discharge of the pistols. Patrick Power, a young man, but blind, groped out and seized one of the fel lows by the throat, and would have choked him, had it not been that the wretched being cried out for mercy, and the young man, from a religious feeling, let the miscreant go unstrangled. So desperate was the resistance the Powers gave, that they cleared the kitchen of their assailants, and barred the door against them. While taking other measures to secure the place they heard a bustle in the room, and turning in they found they had two of the fellows inside. Of these they determined to made prisoners, but they calling out, " sth Regiment, will you leave us to be mur dered ?" the doors and windows were all smashed in with large stones ; the gang re entered, and the ter rific struggle recommenced. The Powers fought for life and death, and owe their escape to the number of their opponents, who in many instances beat each other in an unmerciful manner through mistake. It being understood by them that one of the women had escaped out of the house and was giving the alarm, they retreated, bearing ono of their comrades almost lifeless on their shoulders, and leaving behind them a loaded pistol with the lock broken off, two hats, and a clan-alpine. There were traces of blood, and in one 1 spot there was nearly the full of a basin, and the straw about it was saturated. ELOPEMENT.—A considerable degree of excitement was occasioned in this city, on Friday morning last, from the circumstance of a young disciple of Escu lapius having, about three p.m. the day previous, eloped with the daughter of a gentleman highly es teemed by all our citizens, and one of the same pro fession as the gay Lothario. The flight was not dis covered until quite late in the evening of Thursday (the friends of the lady expected she was at the house of an acquaintance). Immediately on the discovery, the injured father went post in pursuit, but no trace could be obtained until the next morning, when he learned that the place where the fugitives had break fasted was at Cambridge, and . tlytt, immediately after, they had taken the rail for London ; information has since arrived, that they wese married on the Friday morning, but the place of their retreat at present re mains undiscovered.—Cambridge Advertiser. THE FRENCII BAR.—An affecting incident oc curred on Saturday, before the Tribunal of Correc tional Police, in a case of appeal against a sentence of three years' imprisonment upon a little boy, for vaga bondage. The father of the child, who was in Court, but in custody of a gendarme, he being himself a prisoner under different circum stances, was asked whether, in the event of the tribunal being disposed to annul the sentence, he would engage to take care of his child, and prevent the possibility of his again exposing himself to such a pro secution ? The poor man, with tears in his eyes, re plied that most willingly would he comply with the suggestion of the tribunal, if it was in his power, but he was a prisoner for debt in the Rue de Clichy, and had only been allowed to appear, for the purpose of imploring the indulgence of the Court for his chill. His wife, he said, remained at home with three chil dren, and with no other means of support than the produce of her labour, which did not exceed thirty sous a day ; and thus it had happened that the young prisoner at the bar had been allowed to roam about and to be arrested for vagabondage. The President having inquired the amount ot the debt for which he was incarcerated, he replied that it was only 320 f., but the costs amounted to 800 f. Whilst this conversation was going on, one of the counsel at the bar humanely made a collection amongst his colleagues, and in a few minutes the whole amount of the debt was raised. The creditor, who fortunately was at hand, had his heart softened by what he witnessed, or his judgment con vinced as to the hopelessness of being paid by keeping his debtor in gaol, and having besides to pay 301. a month for his support there, and offered to release him on payment of the debt alone. The offer was of course accepted, and father and son were both set at libci ty.— Galignanis Messenger. INTonEmiaccE.—A worthy young couple, named Thomas Stains and Mary Roberts, residents at Ring stead, near Thrapston, in Northamptonshire, intending marriage, the banns were duly published in the parish church of Ringstead. The wedding-day was fixed for the 12th October, on the very morning of which, the Vicar of the parish, the Rev. Dr. Watson, sent for the intended husband, and, finding that he had not been " christened" in the parish church, his parents being of the Baptist denomination, he refused to marry him, although his intended wife and her parents both be longed to the establishment. The disappointment was great; yet, as th e we ddi ng -di n ner was pre pared, and the invited guests assembled, :they kept the day as pleasantly as they could, under thq circumstances. But what was now to be done ? Thy parties must be married somehow, and that legally too. Their characters wereirreproach able. The whole parish cried shame on the vicar.

In this case, which was reported in The Sun of yes terday, and which, it will be recollected, was an appli cation for a criminal information against the de fendants, Magistrates of the county of Staffordshire, in refusing bail for Arthur O'Neil, a Chartist, his Lordship intimated that he would grant the rule, and would mention the fact to-morrow to Mr. Erle, who moved in the cause. CO&TRT OF CHANCERY. Nov. 9. BX PARTS THOMAS, IN THB MATTER OF THOMAS, A BANKRUPT. This case came before his ,Lordship upon a special case, in the nature of an appeal from the decision of the late Sir John Cross, in the Court of Review. The circumstances under which the question on the case arose were as follows :—Susannah Thomas, who had kept the Full Moon Hotel, in Bristol, for many years, died intestate, leaving several children. Sarah Thomas, after the death of her mother, but without taking out letters of administration, took possession of the effects in the hotel, and carried on the business for a short period, when it was Teed between herself and her brother, James Walter Thomas, who had carried on a posting business in the same town, that both businesses should be joined and carried on by them in partner ship. Under this arrangement, the parties acted for some time ; but, in 1840, James Walter Thomas being about to marry, Sarah Thomas declined to have any thing further - to do with the concern, and, in conside ration of the sum of 8751., she gave up all share in the business. The inn and posting business was carried on by . James Walter Thomas alone till a short time since, when a fiat of bankruptcy was issued against him. After this another brother took out letters of administration to the effects of his mother, and presented a petition to the Court of Review, praying that all the furniture and property that belonged to Susannah Thomas at the time of her death might be handed over to him as her administrator, and not to the assignees under the bankruptcy. Upon the case coming on before the late Sir John Cross, he. made the order prayed in this respect, and from that order the present appeal was brought. The Loan CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the arguments, gave judgment, reversing the decision of the Court below, with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 9. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE WILLIAM LIONEL FELIX TOLLEMACIIIi, COM- MONLY CALLED LORD HUNTINGTOWER. This day being fixed for the final adjourned exami nation of the bankrupt, the usual crowd of creditors and spectators were in attendants, and, as before, his Lordship came up in custody from the Queen's Bench. The last hearing was had before Mr. Commissioner . Pane, who adjourned the case over until to-day, in order that the creditors might have had sufficient time to investigate the balance-sheet, which, though ex tending over a very short period as to time, contained a statement of debts and liabilities to upwards of 200,0001., and merely problematical assets. Mr. Chambers attended for the noble bankrupt, and Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. E. James and Mr. Cole, for certain creditors; and Mr. Nies, the solicitor, for the petitioning creditor. Some additional proofs of debts having been ad mitted without opposition, A proof was tendered on behalf of a Mr. Holt, upon certain acceptances of the bankrupt, to the amount of 859/. The claimant produced a copy of a judgment which he had obtained upon these bills. By Mr. James--What consideration was given for these bills ?—Two checks to C. P. Nicholls, for 3001. Where did he carry on business ?—At Adam-street, Adelphi. Was he the manager of the Westminster Loan In vestment Company there ?—He was, but I discounted these bills for him in his private capacity. Mr. James—We must have Mr. Nicholls here to know from him his position, as to the discount of one of these bills after it became due. It is to be taken here with all its equities, but with no more. Mr. Commissioner FONDLANQUE--It must stand over just now. Lord Huntingtower sworn and examined by Mr. James—l never kept any regular accounts, but I think Nicholls's bill was 2751. I accepted a minority bill for Colonel Copeland, which I afterwards re newed, but I never got any thing for it. I lent my name to him (the Colonel) for several bills, lie always promising to take them up, and I received no other --Lillie for them than now and then a horse. I did not know it was discounted until told so by Nicholls, who asked me to renew it, adding, that if • I did so, he would let me have some more money, but I never got any more from him. lir. Commissioner FONDLANQUE—Did nothing pass between you, Mr. Holt, and Mr. Nicholls, when your over-due bill was discounted ?—Nothing more, Sir, than this ; that as Lord Huntingtower was at the time in London the bill would be paid ; a judgment has been obtained upon this bid. Mr. Commissioner F O NDLANQUE—That will not save you if there was no bona fide consideration. Mr. JAMES said he wished to be furnished with a list of the creditor: who had proved. Mr. Levi, of Arundel-street, Strand, claimed to prove upon a bill for 2001., and stated, in answer to questions put by Mr. James, that on the sth of Octo ber, 1841, he gave the money to a person of the name of Canty for this bill, and he now further owed him a sum of 8001.—After some examination, Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—This proof must be deferred ; it is at present very complicated, and requires further investigation. Mr. Levi—l don't think, Sir, it is worth my while to prove for it, as I shall get nothing, but I shall lodge a detainer upon my judgment. No further proofs having been tendered, Mr. JAMES proceeded to make some observations upon the enormous amount of debts and liabilities con tained in the noble bankrupt's balance-sheet, amount ing to nearly 200,0001., while it contained no account whatsoever of the disposal of any part of the property which he had been possessed of, either before or during the course of his trading. If the Noble Lord had thought proper to become ft trader, and now sought to obtain the benefit of these laws, which were in tended to protect traders, why then he must be sub jected to the same scrutiny , and his ex p enditure be liable to as strict an investigat ion as an y other p erson becoming a bankrupt. He would now proceed to the further examination of his Lordship as to several items in his balance-sheet, his object being to ascer tain the difference between the bona fide and the male fide debts. The Learned Counsel then con tinued—l see your Lordship puts down 3,0001. as the amount of your election expenses at Andover; now I wish to know how you make out that sum ?—I can not tell you exactly, for I kept no books, as I did not think I was liable to be made a bankrupt , and a l l I had to assist me in making out my balance-sheet were my recollection and a few memoranda. You were a candidate, I believe, my Lord, for the representation of Andover?—Yes, I recollect well being a candidate for Andover. Before my going down there I was told that I could obtain a large sum of money to paY off my minority debts, but I found upon inquiry that I was not to have or to ex pect as much money from my family as I was before led to expect. An objection, however, was taken to me at the election as I was not of age, and Lord Wm. Paget was elected. And yet your Lordship states you expended 3,0001. upon that election?—Yes, I did. It was expended in various ways. It WAS disbursed by Mr. Henry Fort ner, of Andover. and by Mr. Busini, of Stockbridge; but I kept no correct account of it, though I paid myself the majority of the bills, such as tavern bills and the like. wherehad it not all at that time, but a paort. Allow as your Lordship then had 3, paid xpe beforenoas kd?l and a p ar t a fter my majority. eras to in expend t I had 5001. from Mr. Douglas, a bill agent or broker, living in Buckingham-street, Strand. I had also 600 1 . on the 29th of January, which I paid into Messrs. Heath's bank at Andover. I find that I paid in on the 29th of July a further sum of 1,300/. I think also that I had some money at this time from Mr. Moss Davis, somewhere about 500/., or it might be 1,0001., and also from other parties, but I have no account of either how, when, or where, I either re ceived or paid it. I am sure, however, that I expended nearly 3,500/. Then did your Lordship pay for Lord William Paget P—He was elected upon the principle, that if he were required by me or by the constituency to resign the seat, he should do so at once in favour of me, and not having done so, I think that as a man of honour he is bound to repay me. He has derived all the benefit, and, as a gentleman. he is bound to pay me. Samuel Bamford Hamer was at the election, and on the Sunday preceding the `election, Lord Wil liam Paget, Mr. Busini, and myself put our names to a bill for 4001., which was given to Hamer to get discounted, in order to meet some pressing expenses ; but though Hamer took away the bill, we never obtained a farthing of money for it—(A laugh)—nor did I see Hamer himself, though possibly he might have been at the election. The polling was just two days before I came of age. I wish to ask your Lordship, had you amongst the whole of you, on the Sunday before the polling, such a sum as 1001. P—l cannot say, but I had not. Had Lord William Paget That is a question I cannot answer. And you have nodetailed account of your expenses? —I have not. In a contested election there are many expenses which could not be properly registered.-- (A laugh.) Mr. CIIAAMERS objected to this course of examina tion when Mr. Commissioner Forzneedeoun said—Under any circumstances a bankrupt must disclose the whole amount and disposal of his estate, if he means to pass his final examination. Examination continued—There were thirty or forty bills that I paid, and did not entrust them to any party. I did let Mr. Fortner have 100/., and other monies were paid 11 c heque, or by my own hands. The Committee, if it could be said that we had a Committee, had also some money, and I am positive that with what I owe and what I paid, the expense was upwards of 3,0001. I also gave a person of the name of Hitchcock 2001. And that, I suppose, brought your Committee together ?---(A laugh) No, it did not, for somehow or other it was very badly arranged, but the former Members had a regular Committee. How much of this 3,5001. was paid in money down? —I should say, at a rough guess, at least 2,000/. Several bills relating to the election are in the hands of Mr. Fortner, but, as I owe him some money, he refuses to give them up. I find here that a Mrs. Edmunds is down for 7,2001., for which your balance-sheet states her to hold secu rity-, who is she ?—She lives in St. James's-place, and holds security for 2,0001., for which she only gave me 1,3001., and I consider that she now owes me the other 700/. The transactions arose on account of the deposit of Col. Copeland's commission with her. I accepted accommodation bills for her to a large amount, and for which I had no consideration whatever. What is Afro,. Edmunds ?--She is the very intimate friend of Colonel Copeland, and is, as I understand, a bill-broker. This transaction happened four or five months before I came of age. I here beg leave to say that, having obtained 7,0001. through Mr. Samuel Forde (then my attorney) from Cox, Biddulph, and Co., upon the joint security of myself and Captain Byng, I redeemed the commission of Colonel Cope land, which he had pledged ; Mrs. Edmunds told me that she would give me 2,000/. for it then (down). She did give me 1,200/., with a promise to give me the difference in a few days, but I never since received it, although the bills, commission, &c., were, as I under- stand, pledged by Mrs. Edmunds to a Mr. Hume, formerly a carver and gilder in a very large way, and now a bill-broker. This Mr. Hume is the same person who sold up my establishment. Turn to a debt, if you please, my Lord, to W. B. Douglas, for 28,0001. Since your majority did you get any and what con'ideration for this large amount of bills ?--To the best of my belief, I only received 5,0001. I first commenced with him on the 17th of July, having previously had a small transaction on account of Montague John Smith, who lives in Buckingham-street, and also has a house at Graves end. Douglas said to me, if you'll give me your bills for 20,0001. give you 10,0001. for them, or at the rate of 10s. in the pound ; and if, when they come to maturity, they are not paid, he would convert them into post obits. He asked me, subsequently, to give him a warrant of attorney as security, when he would advance me some money; but I never got it. The copies of the bills were obtained by a Mr. Bon ner when I went to sign the warrant of attorney, or I should otherwise not have been able to give you any account of them. In what way did you receive the 5,0001.? I shall state to you to the best of my ability. I received 1,3001. when I accepted the bills, 4001. as a bonus for lending my name, 500/. in five-pound notes at the time of the election, and the 1,300/. was disbursed for election and other expenses. I also received, on the 25th of August a large sum, which was paid in at Heath's bank, Andover. And beyond this a sum of 1,7001., the bills not being then due. I here wish to state that I was very much pushed (distressed) for money at the time, and I had to give Douglas re ceipts for snore money than I actually received from him. I cannot tell you the amount of those receipts, but I should say probably for 7,000/., 8,000/., or 9,000/., more than I obtained; and, in fact, I had but very little. Mr. JAMES—Does this Mr. Douglas attempt to prove ? Mr. Niss—Certaibly not as yet. Examination continued—Of the bills thus given► by me to Douglas, I understand that some are held by a person named Sherbourne, a hosier in the Strand, and that his brother, a small farmer at Hounslow, is said to have discounted others of them to the amount of nearly 20,0001. Under these circumstances, I was advised to file a bill in Chancery to make him account for their possession ; and this morning I perceive by the papers that it was set down for hearing this day. Sherbourne has sued me, but has not yet obtained a judgment. After a further examination, the proceedings were adjourned. NBR LORD MAYOR. Shortly after three o'clock the new Lord Mayor, accompanied by the lite Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Thomas Woad and Gibbs, together with the other civic authorities, came into Court, and in vited his Lordship to the entertainment at Guildhall this evening. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 9. DATHYANY V. THE EARL OF CHESTERFIELD. In this cause, which has been before the Court on a former occasion, nn l' which came - on to be heard on demurrer, His I G9-„,6f-Cipini that-,th, plaintiff did not seek relkf tvi - 349;4 the Court could at tend to, and he pccoiklin . o Allo*eci !lemurrer. uddiSsnitCli-t: In thiscause, which 'came before the Court upon plea, the plaintiffs' were James and John Houlditch ; the defendants, Christopher Gerard Rigbye Csllins, Bird Brodie, George Barker, and William Webster. In July, 1841, the plaintiffs were holders for valu able consideration, of five bills of exchange for several sums, amounting altogether to 4,8501., and which were respectively drawn by Henry Gompertz, and duly accepted by Mr. Collins, one•of the defendants. The bills, which were drawn for three months, were not honoured, and the plaintiffs commenced an action in May, 1841; in the Court cf Exchequer, against the defendants, which the latter defended. The plaintiff obtained a final judgment on that occa sion for 4,9311. 14s. 10d., total amount of principal and interest of the bills of exchange, coats of the ac tion, &c. The bill prayed that it might be declared that the plaintiffs were entitled under, and by virtue of the above-mentioned judgment, to be considered in this Court as mortgagees of the lands, tenements, he reditaments, and leasehold estates of the defendant - Collins. To this bill the defendants Barker and Web ster put in a plea that the defendant Collins was resi dent in the island of Jersey, and that the plaintiffs had caused a writ called an ordre provisoire to be issued by the Bailiff in that Island against the defendant for the amount of the bills and the costs of protest. That writ was to the effect that the `plaintiffs were permitted to have seized, arrested, put in execution, and sequestered if it was so required, the apparent property of their debtors in all places where such might be found, to be applied to the payment of what might be found truly and justly due to them as strangers or persons expatriable. By virtue of that writ Collins was seized and thrown into prison in St. Heliers. The judgment debtor was thus, it was alleged, taken in execution, and the de fendants, relying on the Ist and 2d Victoria, sec. 16, cap. 110, applied to the Court to have the obligation on their part to answer the plaintiff's bill dispensed with, and that the costs of the application might be allowed them. His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, said that the words of the Act of Parliament appeared to him per fectly plain, and nothing was more certain than that he had no authority to extend the operation of the Act by any construction of his. The plaintiffs in the cause were j udgm ent creditors of the defendant,and were entitled to have charge of the whole of his property. There was a clause in the Act of Parliament to the effect, that if in such circumstances the creditors having a judgment and charge should cause the persou of the judgment debtor to be taken or charged in execution upon such judgment, Then that such judgment creditor should be taken to ,have relin quished his right to the charge. The single question in the present case then must be, whether the judg ment creditors had caused the person of the judgment debtor to be so taken or charged in execution upon the judgment. If he had done so the charge then was relinquished ; if he had not, the Act of Parlia ment could not apply. What had been really done in this case was to adopt proceedings in the Courts of Jersey, for the recovery of the same sum which had been reversed by judgment (as was plainly indicated by the documents set forth in the plea) and not execution upon the judgment, which was a course that could not be taken in any foreign Court. The proceeding in the Courts of Jersey was mesne pro cess, which did not appear to his Lordship to be a case within the terms of the Act of Parliament. The judgment debtor was not taken or charged in execu tion upon the judgment, and the plea must there fore be disallowed. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 8. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) 1N RE THE METROPOLITAN WOOD-PAVING COMPANY, ET PARTE. Mr. WARBFIELD applied, on the part of the Metro politan Wood Paving Company, for an injunction to restrain Mr. William Saunders from using certain blocks of wood constructed upon the principle of Count de Lisle's patent, which belonged to the Metropolitan Company. The Learned Counsel stated that Mr. Saunders had laid down a certain quantity of wood pavement adjoining the Churchof St. Mary-le- Strand, composed of blocks of wood identical with those of the Metropolitan Company, although they had in part been sawed asunder to make up what were called compound blocks. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Do you bring the fact home tes Mr. Saunders ? Mr. WA KEFIELD —Yes, your Honour, from the ma nufactory to the ground upon which they are laid. Indeed the blocks in question were originally manu factured for the Company, but were rejected, on the ground that the material was not according to con tract. _ _ Several affidavits were read in support of the appli cation, and a specimen of Count de Lisle's patent handed in, the principle of which, the Vice-Chancellor said, he was well acquainted with, and granted the in junction. NOVEMBER 9. FISHER V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. His lioNoua, iu giving judgment, said that there were cases in which, by the consent of both parties, they might be both b roug ht b e f ore t h e Court for de cision, but he did not understand that in the pre sent case he was authorised to decide on the main question. The matter stood thus :—A letter had been written by the solicitors of the vendors to the solici tors of the Great Western Company, stating that Mrs. Ostler, the party to the original agreement, was, at the date of the letter, labouring under a state of great mental infirmity, incapacitating her from giving her consent to the conveyance. He did not find that the Great Western Company had, by their answer, admitted this to be the fact, or that the letter sent was true; there was no admission that such was the fact then, or is the fact now. If they did not consent to that fact, his assuming the fact in the first place, and then deciding on that as sumption, appeared to him to be quite in vain. All that he could do in the present state of the case was to order a reference to the Master to settle the draft of the conveyance, giving him liberty to state any special circumstances as the ground of selling the conveyance in the form he might approve of. The Company admitted the title, but a question was raised as to the form of the consents. He should, therefore, order a reference to the Master to prove a proper conveyance, reserving the case for further directions and costs. BAIL COURT, Nov. 9. GILLET V. AUSTIN. The defendant in this case vvas taken under an exe cution by the Sheriff of Worcestershire. to satisfy the plaintiff's debt. When taken by the Sheriff's-officer, the defendant told him that the warrant was void, it being four months old, and was enlarged. Upon this the plaintiff commenced an action against the Sheriff, to which he pleaded, but he afterwards withdrew his plea, and the defendant Austin was then taken a se cond time by the Sheriff's-officer, and lodged in gaol. Mr. GREY now moved for a rule to show cause why he should not be enlarged. The affidavits set forth several circumstances, which went to show that the Sheriff, finding that he had no substantial defence to the plaintiff's action for enlarging the defendant in the first instance, had satisfied the plaintiff's claim, and had the defendant arrested a second time in the plaintiff's INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 9. The Court, after disposing of a number of town awl country bail cases, proceeded with the deferred motion. IN TILE MATTER OF HENRY LEE ALLEYNE, ALIAS CHARD. This case stood over from last Wednesday, when Mr. Cooke read a number of voluminous affidavits and other documents for the purpose of inducing the Court to g: ant a rule ordering the Leicester and Warwickshire Banking Company, who were alleged to be indebted to the insolvent in the sum of 10,0001., to pay the same into the assignees of this Court for the benefit of his creditors, and calling upon a gen tleman named Needham, who was also a debtor to Alleyno for 3,0001., to do the same. Mr. WOODRUFFE opposed the rule on behalf of Mr. Dempster Hemming, the eminent banker of Caldicott Hall, in Warwickshire, and was occupied during the greater part of the day in reading affidavits to establish the fact that the insolvent had no real proprietorship in either of the abOve sums, but merely acted as agent to Mr. Hem ming, with respect to the sum of 3,0001., as trus tee for Mrs. Hernmiug (the insolvent's sister), in the case of the 10,0001. Prom the extent and close de tails of the several affidavits it is utterly impossible to do more than give a brief outline of the statements in the two principal papers—those of the insolvent and Mr. Dempster Hemming. The former stated that his father had been a shipowner at Lyme Regis, and got him a situation in 1819 in the Coast Guard Ser vice, from which he retired on a pension of 681. in 1836, and by successfully speculating on the Stock •Exchange, with a loan of 2,000/., realised sufficient to support him independently, and after his bankruptcy, being denied his certificate, he was induced to change his name, not with a view to fraud, but that it might not interfere with his Stock Exchange transactions. After several details with regard to the marriage of his sister with Mr. Dempster Hemming, he proceeded to state, that upon her marriage in December, 1839, he was appointed joint-trustee with Mr. John Powell over the sum of 10,0001., which was paid out of the bank of Glyn, Halifax, and Company, and subse quently transferred. With respect to the sum of Hem ming, that, with other large sums of money, was entirely for the use of Mr. Hemming, and saving him from the effects of an apprehended bankruptcy, which hung over the Leicester and Warwickshire Bank, and by which he (Mr. Hemming) lost nearly 3,0001., and who had likewise property involved to the amount of 157,000/. The principal points in Mr. Dempster Hemming's affidavit were, that until last April he was not aware the insolvent or his (Mr. Hemming's) wife ever went by the name of Chard, and that if so, he should have been chary in alloying him to act as trustee, or the holder of such large sums of money ; but he felt bound to state, in the strongest and most em phatic terms, that the conduct of the insolvent had been of the strictest and most honourable nature towards him, and he also attributed to his talents and business-like habits, the fact of his (Mr. Hemming's) escaping so well from the difficul ties with which he was surrounded in relation to his connexion with the Leicester and Warwickshire Banking Company. The Learned Counsel then read several other affidavits, and concluded a long argu ment by saying that the Court must be satisfied - the insolvent was the bona fide owner of the money be fore the rule moved for could be granted, otherwise a grievous injustice would be done td Mr. Dempster Hemming. Mr. CooKE, for the creditors, contended, that under the 89th section of the Act, the rule should be granted, and_ cited several cases to show that where any party knowingly, or by implication, allowed another to assume a reputed ownership, he must take the con - sequence. Mr. Commissiener Timms, after a few observa tions, ordered the rule to be discharged without costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOW-STREET. A fashionably-dressed young mm, named Ed mund Dash, described as a linendraper's shopman, was brought up, charged with stealing a cornelian, value 10s., and a card-case and counters, value 251., the property of Mr. Frederick Helm, herald chaser, of Long--acre , and Maria Robinson was charged with abetting the felony. After a lengthened examination, from which no new facts were elicited (the particulars of which have already appeared in The Sun), the Magistrate com mitted both prisoners - for trial. The prisoner Dash said it is a very hard case, when a lady chooses to give me anything, that I am to be charged with felony. Mr. TWYFORD—You must take the consequences of the law. Dash—The lady came to me, I did not go to her. . • - Mr. TWYFORD:I commit you both for trial. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Mr. William Black, of Lansdowne Cottage, Isling ton, summoned William Rhodes, the driver, of one of Hardwick's Hammersmith omnibuses, before Mr. Maltby, for abusive language. The complainant, an elderly gentleman, stated that he got into the defendant's vehicle at the Mansion house, intending to go as far as Hyde Park-corner. It was then a little past eleven o'clock in the morn ing, and the defendant at that tithe was acting as conductor. The omnibus proceeded at a snail pace, sometimes just moving on, and sometimes not moving at all. In this way the omnibus performed the whole distance to Down-street, Piccadilly, notwithstanding repeated remonstrances from complainant. When at Down-street witness was let out, and he was then as sailed by the grossest abuse from the defendant, who had changed places, and was then driving. The ob ject of first acting as conductor, and then taking the place of driver, was evidently to baffle any proceedings that might be contemplated for loitering on the road. Mr. Black here repeated the language used towards him. It was of the most filthy and disgusting cha racter, and appliel so profusely, that Mr. Black wrote it down within half an hour after it had been uttered, in order to speak with certainty to the precise words used by the defendant. Air. - MALTnvinqdred how long the driver was in going the distance from the Mansion-house to Down street ? Mr. Black said upwards of an hour and a half. This is about three times as long as an ordi nary pedestrian would require to do the distance. A Police-sergeant came forward and corroborated Mr. Black's statement respecting the slow pace at which the defendant was driving along Piccadilly. The defendant denied the charge of bad language. With respect to driving slow, it was always the cus tom for omnibuses not to be in a hurry on Sundays. The usual time was one hour, from the Mansion-house to Piccadilly, and drivers were not particular to a few minutes more. To rebut the charge of bad language the defendant called a witness who was outside the omnibus at the time. 'This witness merely said he did not hear any abuse given. Mr. MALTBY said he was fully satisfied of the en tire truth of Mr. Black's statement. It was impos sible to conceive a snore flagrant outrage than that which the defendant had committed on a respectable gentleman, by applying to him i❑ the public streets language so disgraceful and disgusting. He (Mr. Maltby) felt it to be his duty to protect the public as far as possible against such conduct, and he should, therefore, inflict the highest penalty the law permitted, without listening for a moment to any application for mitigation. The fine of 31. and expenses was inflicted and paid. WOR SHIP- STREET. Richard Fennell, a young man of respectable ap pearanee, was charged with having uttered a bill of exchange for 981. 10s., bearing a forged indorsement, with intent to defraud Mr. Win. Cluff, a silk-manu facturer in Steward-street, Spitalfields. Mr. Clarkson attended as counsel, and Mr. Hobler as solicitor for the prosecution ; and Mr. Chadwick Jones defended the prisoner. Mr. Clarkson briefly detailed the facts of the case, and called _ _ Mr. Wm. Cluff, who stated that on the 3d or 4th of August last the prisoner called upon him, and pro duced two bills for 1501. and 981. 10s., which he re quested him to discount. The prisoner said that he received the bills from a person named Knight, and on examining them, witness observed that one of them, amongst- other indorsements, bore that of Messrs. Worthington and Son, manufacturers in Man chester. Witness refused to discount the bills, un less time were allowed him to make inquiries respect ing the indorsers; but the prisoner declined leaving them with him for that purpose, and went away. A few days afterwards the prisoner applied to him again to discount the bill for 98/. 10s., and stated that he had received a letter from Messrs. Worthing ton, acknowledging that the endorsement was theirs, but that he had forgotton to bring the letter with him, and would show it to him when they next met. Upon the faith of his assertion witness consented to discount the bill, and he gave the prisoner 39/. 103. in cash, with an over due bill and other securities, which he had previously received from him, to make up the amount. The prisoner afterwards sent him a written paper, contain ing the names and addresses of the ostensible in dorsers, but as he failed to produce the letter from Messrs. Worthington., witness wrote to those gentle men on the subject, and received an answer, in which they denied all knowledge of the matter. He after wards wrote to the other firms whose names were in dorsei on the bill, and having received similar answers, he gave the prisoner into custody. After a lengthened investigation, Mr. BROUGHTON said that the charge was of so serious a nature, that if he took bail at all, he should require two sureties in ' 2001. each.—The prisoner was then remanded. THE CASE of CAPTAIN DOUGLAS. The case of Captain Archibald Douglas, of the 49th Madras Native Infantry, apprehended as a de serter, having excited considerable interest in military circles, we shall briefly call attention to the facts. Captain Douglas, in the spring of this year, had leave upon sick certificate to proceed to the Neilgher rie Hills, and which leave was subsequently extended to 31st of March, 1843. In June last he ascertained that upon private information the Advocate-General had filed several criminal informations against him for malversation in his capacity as Political Resident at Tanjore ; and, therefore, with the view of consulting his friends in England, and obtaining the best legal advice as to the most expedient course to be pursued in meeting the charges, he determined to avail him self of his unexpired leave, and repair to this coun , try; but knowing the difficulty he would have to encounter in embarking from India in his own name, he assumed that of Jackson. Oa landing he took his proper name, and under it actually presented him ' self at the East India House, and transacted business. During his voyage, it appears, many coalman ica tions from the Government of Madras reached Lea denhall-street, notifying the fact of the criminal in formation having been filed, and the report that Capt. Douglas had quitted the Neilgherrie station without leave. _ _ The Court of Directors accordingly, under the ad vice of their counsel, decided on arresting Captain Douglas as a deserter, and, as shown by the proceed ings at Marlborough-street police-office, that officer has been committed to Tothill-fields prison. A re port, as prescribed by the Mutiny Act, has been made by the Magistrate to the Secretary-at-War; all the East India troops while in the United Kingdom beinz, as regards the administration of civil law, under that Minister, the same as her Majesty's forces. It remains now to be seen how far, under the cir cumstances described, the Secretary-at-War and his advisers may deem Capt. Douglas's absence from the place to which his leave was nominally limited, and that leave not having expired, as an act of desertion; more especially as it can be shown that his object was ,to return to the Neilgherries previous to the expira tion of such leave, and for which purpose there is still ample time. The case of this officer is in all respects peculiar, and, as far as our recollection goes, without a prece dent. The last instance (Feb. 1836) of a Commis sioned Officer in her Majesty's service being adver tised as a deserter, is that of Paymaster Read, of the 68th Foot; but in his case there was an aliknovv ledged defalcation of public money to a large amount, and he absconded when not on leave. We have heard that at Bangalore an officer was tried by a Court-martial, in or about 1838, on several charges— ' cane for desertion, he having gone far beyond the place to which his leave was granted. In more recent instances of officers absent on leave in Great Britain, proceeding to the Continent without the express permission of the Commander in-Chief, they have been called upon for special ex planation, and they.have been severely reprimanded when the explanation has not been deemed sufficient; but in no instance that we can hear of, has it been ever contemplated by the Horse Guards, that such encroachment on leave should subject an officer to be . charged as a deserter. The proper course would be, to supersede an officer for having obtained leave under false pretences. It would seem, therefore, that the harsh proceed ings against Captain Douglas have been adopted, not to punish the offence against military discipline, so much as to enable the East India Company to retain him in military custody, with the view to ulterior proceedings of a civil character at Madras. If the present matter can be drawn into a prece dent much inconvenience may arise—for instance, any officer crossing over to Boulogne for a few hours be comes a deserter.—Naval and Military Gazette. POACHERS and the CORN-LAWS. (From the Toe Mercury.) We were not at all surprised to read the other day in a Contemporary paper, The Sun, an account of an extraordinary combat between game-keepers and poachers, and we were pleased at the mode in which our Contemporary made it useful as a subject of re mark for present purposes, and also, let us not forget to observe, for the benefit of mankind in general. We will carry his doctrine further than he did himself. We will say not only that the landholders ought to give up all their preserves, but that, if they are sincere, they ought to forego their fox-covers into the bar gain. They see the people of the empire famishing before their eyes. There are hundreds of thousands of acres just now laid down as fox-covers, for the pleasure of the gentry of the country, and yet they complain of their rents. All this land ought to be cultivated ! It is well knov, n that the fox-hunting gentry will not allow a fox to be dislodged, killed, or in any way injured—that they will cut a gentleman who has a breed of foxes on his estates if he should kill them, or kill any of them—that their amusemen. must be kept up, no matter what may become of the rest of the community. It would be rather- an odd, thing if their tenants should some of those days happen to hunt them ! Twenty years ago we noticed many of those fox-covers which would have made excellent farms, and they are, we be lieve, far more numerous since; why then not exter minate the foxes and put the land into good corn cultivation ? The only answer that can he made is, that the nobles and gentry must have their amuse ment ! A most remarkable answer to the multitude who are crying out for bread! The Church is de stroying itself by its endeavouring to take more power than it ought to possess; the land is destroying itself by claiming privileges to which it has no possible right ; in short, every interest must finally bring itself to utter ruin when it knows and evinces that it cannot work honestly and faithfully to itself. It is monstrous to see four or five men, or seven or eight men, as the case may be, fighting in deadly combat on account of the death of certain partridges, rabbits, and we know not what. This is even worse than the Corn-laws. The wild animals are nourished from the vitals of the people, and yet the people are not allowed to shoot them or to snare them. As long as the Corn law subject remains in abeyance, the people ought to act on this question ; we mean they ought legally to act, and if they were now and then to argue the matter in aid of some poor poacher, we do not think it would be much amiss ; not that we would say it should be a murdering or a robbing poacher; but, let it he re membered that, whatever crime poaching produces, the landowner is himself to blame. FUNERAL. OF THE LATE MR. SERGEANT SPANKIE. —The mortal remains of this lamented gentleman were yesterday removed from Russell-square for interment in the catacombs of the Kensall-green Cemetery. The funeral procession consisted of a hearse drawn by four horses and three mourning coaches, preceded by two mutes and a handsome plume of feathers. The first coach contained three sons of the deceased, and Mr. In gl is, his brother - in - law. The s ec on d was occupied by Lord Campbell (with whom the deceased was on the most intimate terms, though differing widely in political principles), Mr. Sergeant Atcherlev,and two other friends of the deceased. In the third coach rode Mr. Ell s, Mr. Turner (the medical attendant), and t w o other gentlemen. The private carriages of Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Mr. Sergeant Atcherley, inid several others belonging to members of the bar, closed the procession. pied, lately, at Rumney Ironworks, Mrs. Joyce, aged 108. She was the mother, giandmother, great grandmother, and greatgreat-puldmother of 105 children. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
