EVACUATION OF AFFGHANISTAN. GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY (PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY.) PROCLAMATION. Secret Department, Simla, Oct. 1, 1842. The Government of India directed its army to pass the Indus in order to expel from Affgha nistan a Chief believed to be hostile to British interests, and to replace upon his throne a Sove reign represented to be friendly to those interests, and popular with his former subjects. The Chief believed to be hostile became a pri soner, and the Sovereign represented to be popular was replaced upon his throne ; but, after events which brought into question his fidelity to the Government by which he was restored, he lost by the hands of an assassin the throne he had only held amidst insurrections, and his death was preceded and followed by still existing anarchy. Disasters unparalleled in their extent, unless by the errors in which they originated, and by the treachery by which they were completed, have in one short campaign been avenged upon every scene of past misfortune and repeated victories in the field, and the capture of the cities and citadels of Ghuznee and Caubul have again attached the opinion of invincibility to the Bri tish arms. The British army in possession of Affghanistan will now be withdrawn to the Sutlej. The Governor-General will leave it to the Aff ghans themselves to create a Government amidst the anarchy which is the consequence of their crimes. To force a Sovereign upon a reluctant people would be as inconsistent with the policy as it is with the principles of the British Government, tending to place the arms and resources of that people at the disposal of the first invader, and to impose the burden of supporting a Sovereign without the prospect of benefit from his alliance. The Governor-General will willingly recognise any Government approved by the Affghans themselves, which shall appear desirous and capable of maintaining friendly relations with neighbouring States. Content with the limits nature appears to have assigned to its empire, the Government of India will devote all its efforts to the establishment and maintenance of general peace, to the protection of the Sovereigns and Chiefs its allies, and to the prosperity and happiness of its own faithful subjects. The rivers of the Punjaub and the Indus, and the mountainous passes and the barbarous tribes of Affghanistan, will be placed between the Bri tish army and an enemy approaching from the west, if indeed such an enemy there can be, and no longer between the army and its supplies. The enormous expenditure required for the support of a large force, in a false military posi tion, at a distance from its own frontier and its resources, will no longer arrest every measure for the improvement of the country and of the people. The combined army of England and of India, superior in equipment, in discipline, in valour, and in the officers by whom it is commanded, to any force which can be opposed to it in Asia, will stand in unassailable strength upon its own soil, and for ever, under the blessing of Provi dence, preserve the glorious empire it has won, in security and in honour. The Governor-General cannot fear the mis construction of his motives in thus frankly an nouncing to surrounding States the pacific and conservative policy of his Government. Affghanistan and China have seen at once the forces at his disposal, and the effect with which they can be applied. Sincerely attached to peace for the sake of the benefits it confers upon the people, the Governor- General is resolved that peace shall be observed, and will put forth the whole power of the British Government to coerce the State by which itshall be infringed. By order of the Right Hon. the Governor. General of India, T. H. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of'lndia wi the Governor-General. AMERICAN NEWS LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. The packet•ship, Captain Delano, which sailed from New York on the 7th inst., arrived here this evening, a few minutes before the departure of the train. The yellow fever was very prevalent at Mo- , bile, and daily increasing. Its ravages were prin cipally confined to strangers, and the residents who had left the city in consequence were ad vised not to return until the frost had set in. Mr. Webster had paid a visit to the city of New York, and at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, he made a lengthened speech, in which he recapitulated most of the topics intro duced into his former speech at Boston, congra tulated his countrymen on the settlement of the Boundary Question, and took a favourable re view of the acts of President Tyler, and the policy which the executive had pursued. Two steamers bad arrived out—the Caledonia, which left this port on the Bth ult., arrived at Boston on the 2d inst., and the Great Western, which sailed from Bristol on the 22d ult., arrived at New York on the 6th inst. The packet ship New York, which sailed hence on the Bth ult., arrived out after an excellent passage for a sail ing ship, on the 2d inst. The election for the State and city of New York would take place on the Bth, and upon its result would depend in a great measure the fu ture complexion of Congress. Mr. Dickens's book had arrived out, and given great offence to our Transatlantic neighhours. , The statements contained in it leave no doubt, they say, that the offensive article in the Foreign Quarterly Review on the American press was the production of the same pen. Freights were very low, and the rate of Ex change was also anusually low-6 per cent. Bu siness, as usual, continued dull. The next meet ing of Congress, which would take place the first week in December, was looked to with much anxiety. The Planters and Merchants' Bank of Mobile failed on the 25th of October. A day or two previous it had resorted to an issue of post notes; but these the Bank of Mobile and the Branch Bank of the State of Alabama refused to receive. The holders of these then applied to the Planters and Merchants' Bank to have them redeemed, not in specie, but in the' inconvertible paper of the other banks of Alabama. This was refused, and the bank furthermore refused to pay the checks of depositors in anything but post notes. STOCK EXCHANGE, NEW YORK, Nov. 5.

M. l'Avocat-General having replied, the Court rose. The 19th was the last day of the proceedings ; the Court opened at half-past ten o'clock ; the hall was crowded to excess. The President having delivered his resume of the evidence, the Jury retired at two o'clock ; the crowd remained in the hall during the whole time of their deliberation. At a quarter to six, having been absent nearly four hours, the Jury returned, and the following verdict was read : Morin guilty on the charge of corruption ; not guilty on that of abstraction of plans ; extenuating circumstances admitted. Solet and Phillidor declared not guilty. Boutet, found guilty of corruption, having received sums of money for abstaining from doing acts which were required of him by his duty ; extenuating cir cumstances admitted.

PORTUGAL. FALMOUTH, Nov. 26.—The Tagus steamer, from i,isbon, arrived this day. She left Gibraltar 17th, Cadiz 18th, Lisbon 21st, Oporto 22d, Vigo 23d, and has brought 20 passengers. She has since sailed for Southampton. LISBON, Nov. 21.—Little or no alteration has taken place lately in the aspect of political affairs. The Royal Palace, which ought to be the abode of tranquillity and peace, is still the theatre of scenes wholly derogatory to the character of the Queen's household. The counsellor and bosom friend of the King, Che valier Dietz, who resides with him, is at daggers drawn with- Costa Cabral, and open enmity being dis played, all is anarchy and confusion. A list has been going round to obtain the signatures of the principal officers of the army, in order to petition the Queen to dismiss the Ministry. It appears that the Cortes, which were to have opened on the Ist of December, have again been pro rogued till January. The Ministry, formed as it is, has a radical aversion to the Parliament, and with the natural presentiment that its presence cannot be in any way grateful to it, owing to the many offences heaped upon it, is endeavouring by every stratagem to postpone the conjunction. The Government gained a victory over the com bined opposition in the Lisbon election yesterday, to supply five vacancies for Deputies for the province of Estremadura. The Ministerial candidates elected are —Baron de Chancelleiros (M. A. de Carvalho), by 80 votes; J. Elias da Costa e Silva, by 80; Silvestre Pinheiro Ferreira, by 82; Pereira de Mello, by 80; and Ferrao (the Attorney-General), by 79. The Opposition candidates received—Seabra, 68 votes ; J. A. Magalhaes, 69 ; Jeronymo de Silva, 66 ; Manoel Passos, 68 ; and Bergara, 66. The municipal elections at Coimbra, Torres Novas, Estremoz, and, indeed, in most parts of the country, as far as the results are known, have also gone in fa vour of the Government—those of Lisbon and Oporto will shortly take place. The results of the election for Deputies to fill the remaining vacancies in the provinces are not yet known ; the weather has been foggy and rainy, so that the telegraphs could not work this morning ; there is little doubt, however, that the Government will carry the provincial elec tions. It is anticipated, as a matter almost amounting to certainty, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs will be returned for both Oporto an d Bra g a, that of Jus tice for Braga and Villa Real, and that of Marine for Villa Real and Castello Branco. For the province of Alemtejo, Cordeiro Feis, a Bank Director and the Local Judge of Portalegre, are the Government can didates, and are expected to be returned. Prince Joinville left yesterday morning for Rio de Janeiro, in the Belle Poule frigate, with the two cor vettes, under a Royal salute from the forts and ships of war, which the Belle Poule returned by a running broadside. The wind having become contrary, they are not yet out of the river, but were this morning at anchor in Paco d'Arcos bay. The Iquala, corvette will return, after accompanying the Prince out of the river. The Brazilian frigate, and Portuguese cor vette, the Don Joao 1., sailed for Rio this week ; the brig of war, Don Pedro, has been sent to Madeira with some succours from the Government for the re lief of the poor who have suffered there from the in undation. A subscription has been set up, and 'a commission (the same as the one named on the occa sion of the earthquake at Terceira) appointed by the Queen to receive and solicit aid in their behalf. Their Majesties have contributed themselves the sum of three contos of reis, or about 7501. The young Marquis of Fayal is president of this Commission, and Senhor J. Elias da Costa e Silva, just elected deputy for Lisbon, is secretary of the same. The French Ambassador transacted business yes terday at the Foreign-office. AN EXTRAORDINARY DELUSION.—There has been for some time resident in Bangor a native of the sister kingdom, who is a believer in the transmutation of individuality. He believes that, in " by-gone days," he existed as the celebrated Dean Swift, and that his next doom is to be metamorphosed into a rabbit. The poor creature is inclined to mischief, but good manage ment and weak intellect neutralise that inclination.— Carnarvon Herald. lIOLYROOD PALACE.—It is some time since we ad verted to a report that the Goverment had it seriously in contemplation to remove all the nuisances which harbour round the ancient Palace of Holyrood, and to trim and beautify the Royal Park adjoining thereto. We at the same time stated, that it was intended to change the hereditary keepership of the park. This rumour we are glad to see borne out by a notice of an intended application to Parliament, to enable the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to carry out the proposed arrangement.—Edinburgh Observer. KIDDERMINSTER, Nov. 25.—Great excitement has prevailed in this borough, in consequence of the great and increasing rate (poor). The tradesmen of Kid derminster have suffered long and patiently under their difficulties ; but when the overseers announced to the town that 2s. in the pound was required, they determined to call a public meeting of the rate payers, to know what was the cause of the increase. A meeting was held this day at the Lion Hotel, to take the same into consideration, and a Committee was appointed to examine the overseer's ac count. When it is known that one firm in the town will pay this rate only, the sum of 1201. and up wards, it is high time to inquire into the case. It was the largest meeting of rate-payers the town ever saw. Among the items we have to pay out of the poor-rate is the sum of 301. for fire-arms, ordered by Sir James Graham during the outbreaks in the Potteries. IT TAKES Two TO MAKE A SLANDER.—" My dear friend that woman has been talking about you so again ! She has been telling the awfullest lies you ever heard : why she railed away at you for a whole hour !"—" And you heard it all, did you ?"—" Y es : , —" Well, after this, just bear in mind that it takes two to make a slander—one to tell it, and one to listen • to it." A clerk of the London Joint-stock Bank, n ame d Jordan, absconded on Saturday, with bank -notes to the amount of 19,715/. A reward of 6001. has been offered for his apprehension. GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW MEET ING AT HUDDERSFIELD , (Abridged from the Leeds Mercury.) The first of a series of deeply interesting soirees to take place in Yorkshire, in furtherance of the great object of Corn-law repeal, and the destruction of the existing restrictions on the people's food, was cele brated. on Friday evening, in the spacious saloon of the Philosophical-hall, Ramsden-street, Huddersfield. The occasion was one of high importance, not only for the dignity and benevolence of the object contem plated, but for the enthusiastic spirit with which the assembly entered into the cause—an assembly of both sexes, of the first respectability, extensive in numbers and intelligent and influential in its character. It was nearly seven o'clock before the tables were cleared, and soon after the spacious room, gallery, and hall, were crowded to excess. William Brook, Esq., on the motion of Was. WiL LAN s, Esq., was called to the chair, which he proceeded to take amidst loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN, opened the business of the meeting in a very excellent speech. W. R. C. STANSFIELD, Esq., M.P., moved the first resolution. It was as follows :—" That this meeting regards the laws which prevent the free . importation of foreign corn as the chief cause of the , deep, long continued, and increasing distress under which the nation suffers, and looks to the total repeal of those laws as the safest, shortest, andmost effectual remedy." J. %Rau, Esq., of RGchdale, seconded the reso lution. with confidence for the ultimate destruction of those laws. Under this conviction, the meeting rejoices in the determination of the Council of the League to adopt a more general and perfect system of agitation, and pledges itself to co-operate heartily in the en deavour to raise the 50,000/. proposed to be ex pended by the League in the prosecution of its laudable designs.". He (Mr. Clay) appeared there as the representative of his uncle, a veteran in the cause, though now unable to take a part in their exertions.—(Hear, hear.) His uncle, he had told them, was incapable of exerting himself as he had done, but had still the power to render them the necessary assistance. On his behalf, therefore, he begged to present them with a check for 3001. to wards the fund.—(Tremendous cheering.) F. SCHWANN, Esq., seconded the resoloution, and humorously alluded to the title of " Corn-law Pope of Huddersfield," bestowed upon him by Mr. Cobden. Before the separation of the meeting a further sum of 3801. was collected. _ Thanks were then carried by acclamation to the Chairman, and to the gentlemen who had attended the meeting as a deputation from the Council of the League ; and the meeting, which continued to be crowded to the very last, broke up about eleven o'clock. IRELAND. FORCIBLE RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATES. —In a dition to the intelligence contained in our last, with respect to the popular discontent with the rates, and the lawless determination to resist the collection by force, we have now to state that the depot of the 35th Regiment, stationed at Carrick-on-Suir, were ordered to be in readiness on Friday (to-day), to collect poor. rates ; and a party of the 7th Dragoon Guards, quar tered in Clonmel, are to move to Carrick to assist.— Dublin Evening Mail. REDUCTION OF WAGES IN AMERICA.—The owners of our factories, we should judge, mean to make money. In addition to what they gain by the taxes which the new tariff imposes for their benefit, they are taking measures to increase their profits by lowering the wages of their workmen. We published the other day some instances of this. We since learn that the factories of the Messrs. Wild, at Columbiaville, in Columbia county, have stopped within a few days past, for the reason that the workmen would not consent to a reduction of 25 per cent. on their wages. The Albany Argus of yesterday has this paragraph :—" Another Turn of f the workmen mocraticin th e harmony Factory, at the Screw.--We cr e Nv. village of Cohoe s, h ave struck, not for higher wages, o r the two dollars! a d ay an d roas t b ee f,' but in conseque nce of a reduction of t wen ty per cent. on the ra tes heretofore paid. A correspondent states that it u had been the talk at the factory previous to this re duction of wages, that all the democrats were to be dismissed for not voting the Whig ticket ; and the inference was that the cutting down wages was to force them to quit, rather than to eject them directly." —New York Pa ' r. 1 7 %rooLwxen, Nov. 26. ft. MARTIAL.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have approved and confirmed the sentence of the General Court martial held on Sergeant John Bradshaw, first clerk in the Paymaster's-office of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, who was arraigned on the follow ing charge :—For having . at various times, between the 2Gth of May arid 22d of October, 1841, he being at the time the first (and a salaried) clerk in the office of the Paymaster of the Woolwi c h division of Royal Marines, falsified cer tain recei p ts and vouchers for money paid by him, and also mad e false entries in the account kept and rendered by him of the amount of moneys he received through which means he embezzled or fraudulently misapplied the several sums of money. The amount of the item so embezzled is 571.195. 4d. The Court having found the prisoner gu ilty of the whole of the charge preferred against him, now sentenced him to be reduced to the rank and pay of a private sentinel ; to be imprisoned for the space of two years, and further imprisonment until the defi ciency, namely, 571. 19s. 4d., after deducting 101. found concealed and now in the hands of the paymas ter, be made good, and then to be dismissed her Ma jesty's service. The Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty have ordered that the prisoner be confined in Maidstone gaol, in terms of the sentence. The Treaty of Peace with China will leave dis posable a large land and sea force. A private letter from Bombay mentions, that Sir .Uenry Pottinger had proposed to take ad";niage of these means, and to proceed to :r span, and demand satisfaction for the long. 4 . ; con..nued insults we have endured from the Emperor, and to re quire admission for our ships to those islands on terms of mutual mercantile advantage. We cannot say how far our COrrespondent's in formation may prove cor..!ect, but we have heard that this is not the first time the matter has been proposed to Government. The cruelties exercised against the crews of vessels wrecked on these islands demand that some steps should be taken ; and no more favourable opportunity has bean afforded than the presence of our ships and troops in China, from which they can easily be directed upon Jeddo, and other ports in Japan.—Naval and Military Gazette: A letter from Bayonne of the 23d says :—" The accounts from Saragossa of the 19th, in the morning, announce that nothing new had occurred there ; the events at Barcelona were known. Much anxiety was felt at Lerida on the 18th."—Le Moniteur, Nov. 26. H. ASHWORTH Esq., of Bolton, in an excellent speech, followed ifs. Bright, and was received with great cheering. Mr. COBDEN then rose, amidst great . applause, in support of the first resolution. He said he had heard a reference to the power-loom and the spinning jenny, and he presumed that it was meant that those inventions were the cause of the present distress. — (Hear, hear.) Why, if the distress was confined to the worker with power-looms, or hand-looms, or spin ning jennies, there' might probably be an easy, solu tion of their difficulties. But when he had just come from Sheffield, where he had been surprised, on going through the workshops, and found them labouring still with their primitive tools ; where he had mar velled to see with what wonderful dexterity a man would hammer out the finest penknife or razor with a mere hammer and anvil; when he knew that in the midland counties, where they made hosiery by machinery, which had not been materially altered for two hundred and forty years—(Hear)—to which there had been no application of steam, and when there had been no change of fashion, and no variation w hatever, except that there had been more people wearing stockings now than at any time before — (Cries of" Many are without," and loud cheers) — and when he knew that bad as might be their condition in Huddersfield, it was comfort and happi ness compared with the present state of those working as framework knitters in the counties of Leicester and Nottingham ; when he knew these fa cts,he could not receive the objections to machinery as being a sufficient solution of the difficulties which now beset this country.—(Hear, hear.) . Why, if the absence of machinery was calculated to promote prosperity in a community, he thought then that poor un happy Ireland ought to be the most blessed country upon the face of the earth.—(Applause.) But really this question of machinery, if it were pos sible that we could prevent machinery, and if that would do them any good, did appear to him to be quite beside the present question more immediately in hand.—(Hear, hear.) They had a proposition to make to the public mind of this country, which, whether there might be fewer or more machines, they held under all circumstances to be necessary for the prosperity of this country.—(Hear, hear.) It had been well stated by his friend, Mr. Bright, that where there was a limited supply of food the limited quantity must fall chiefly upon the working classes, and he (Mr. Cobden) held another proposition which Mr. Bright did not state to them, that all the increase of food that would be brought into the country con sequent upon the repeal of the Corn-laws would all be consumed by the working classes.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) If the middle classes no have enough bread, they would not eat more bread if twenty millions of quarters were to be imported next year. He knew a difficulty which some people might entertain on the subject of the importation of corn. It might be argued if a large quantity of corn were imported, it would only diminish production at home, and that it would throw out of employment agricultural labourers to give increased employment to manufacturing operatives. This goes on the sup position of the working classes already having suf ficient food. He maintained that it was. an unde niable proposition that of the people of this country not more than three parts out of the fox''r were fed as they ought to be fed.—(Hear.) With regard to the policy of the Anti-Corn-law League in the present movement, and what was intended by the Council to entitle themselves to their confidence, he said that as members of that League they had met that assembly, as they had heard from their worthy chairman and others, with a design of raising a large sum of money for the purpose of effecting a total repeal of the Corn laws,—(Hear, hear.) Now it was right that the gentlemen present who might contemplate aiding themselves —for they would not aid the League mor e than themselves—it was due to them that they should know who and what the men were who asheii for the money, and to what purpose they intended to apply it. The Anti-Corn-law League was founded about four years ago, for the purpose of effecting, by constitutional and legal means, a repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws. They had been industriously at work hitherto, with all the means placed at their disposal —disseminating information, and creating dis cussion to enlighten the public mind upon the subject of these monopolies. It was something new in an agitation in this country, that the individuals who were taking a prominent part in it were not men seeking political objects of any kind.—(Hear, hear.) They came before them as men of business like them selves, having no objects but those in which the audience were as much interested as themselves— (Hear, hear) —and they came before them pledged that they would follow out the agitation without turning to the right hand or to the left, or seeking any other object. To seduce them from that object they had tempters from above, and tempters from below—they had been in the shape of aristocrats themselves, and they had men in the aristocratic service masquerading in fustian jackets, for the purpose of tempting them, if they could, to go from the object. They had not listened to any such temptations—they had not incor porated with their agitation any other object what ever, nor would they.—(Hear, and loud applause.) They (the Council) thought that this was the time, when they had already shaken the fortress, to give a mighty onslaught upon the citadel of corruption itself.—(Applause.) They had already begun an organization which would enable them to distribute such masses of overpowering evidence on the question, as they believed would induce every man who had the candour to avow his belief of the justice and policy of their cause.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The Council of the League had not waited for them to raise the money before they began the process. — (Hear, hear.) They were told by, the monopolist press, when they had the hardihood to throw out this proposition to their fellow-countrynien, they might as well have asked for 50,000,0001. as for 50,000/. The Anti-Corn-law League took a very different estimate of the disposition of their countrymen. (Hear, hear.) Without waiting for the money to 'oe raised, the League had every press in Manchester engaged in their service, preparing the evidence i n support of their object which they were going to lay before the country.-(Loud applause.) Well, they might say the monopolists would not read their evi dence ; they could not get them to buy tracts and papers. Well, he would tell them another plan the League had adopted in order to put the evidence into every Conservative house and news-room. They went to the publishers of every magazine in the coun try, and they paid them for stitching in every periodi cal among their own pages, a certain number of pages upon the Anti-Corn-law question, And thus the Duke of Buckingham himself, at his seat at Stowe, finds, every first of the month, when he receives Blackwood's Magazine, and every other periodical, a tract containing sound doctrines against his darling Corn-law. They had other means by which they in tended to get evidence into the hands of every voter in the country ; and were these not the right moans to be pursued ?—(Applause.) If they approved of their plans, he called upon them to co-operate in raising the necessary expenses for carrying out the plan They must put their shoulders to the wheel. They must have advocates. How would they fare Ir. a Court of Justice, if they had ever so good A they had not money to purc hase for .Cause, if 7 .selves an ad vocate.—(Hear, hear.) If they 'made the electoral body fully acquainted with +:-,de question of the Corn laws, they would no+.,ilave to wait long before that body—the i "...erests of all being inseparably connected vv..' • —II the question—would do justice to the community at large.—(Hear, hear.) It would not be necessary to wait for another general election ; there was magic even in the process of raising 50,0002.--(Cheers.) Mr. Cobden made some further observations on the past laborious exertions of the League, by which he considered the struggle for Corn-law repeal had been nearly consummated, and that now speedily the great victory might be realised, concluding his able speech by an appeal for the pecuniary and personal aid of all present.—(Loud and continued applause.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meet ing, which was carried unanimously. J. T. CLAY, Esq., of Rastrick, moved the second resolution, w hich he read as follows That the partial' modification of the Corn-laws which took place during the last session of Parliament, is attri butable mainly to the existence and operations of the Anti-Corn -law League; and it is only to the influence and exertions of the same Association, im proved and strengthened by an increase. of numb look ers, intelli g ence, and funds, that this meeting can 18 to 20 to 33 to 35 to DUBLIN', Nov. 26.—His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant received the following letter, yesterday, from the Home Secretary, enclosing a copy of the official notification transmittedhim (Sir J.

My Lord,—l have great satisfaction in transmit ng to your Excellency a copy of a communication, which I have received from Lord Stanley, announcing the signal success obtained by her Majesty's arms in India and China; and I request your Excellency to make known, in the usual manner, this welcome news. —I am, with great truth and respect, my Lord, your Excellency's obedient servant, (Signed) "J.

The garrison paraded in review order near the Wel lington testimonial, in the Phoenix-park, at half-past twelve o'clock this day, and at one o'clock fired. a feu de joie in honour of the victories obtained by her Majesty's forces in Affghanistan and China. A field battery of Artillery fired 21 guns in the Park, in honour of the above triumphant successes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTEIZSALUS.-YES IT RDA Y. Although the betting on the Derby extended over more than the usual number of horses, and was brisk on some of the outsiders ; it failed to produce any very striking alterations. The three 'favourites were steady at last week's averages, and were backed for about 1001. each, Winesour being most in demand. Aristides, who is still in the land of the living (the accident having oc curred to a yearling colt, named Zanoni, belonging to the Earl of Eglinton), had two or three friends at the advance on the average, prelious to the report that he had broken his back. Sir Gilbert Heathcote's horses were frequently mentioned, and one of them, Amorino, backed freely ; an increase is observable in the odds against the lot. The prices named against the Brocard colt (sold to a Mr. Gray), Chesterfield, St. Valentine, Lucette colt, Languish colt, Oxygen colt, Pastille colt, &c., were in almost every case taken several times, and afterwards offered.

' , (Sittings in Banco.) ~ 'ile Court having disposed of the special:Orr proceeded to hear cases on the new trial paper. ci lIALL V. FEARNLEY. _ This was an action brought to recover damages for the injuries alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the cart of the defendant having been driven over the plaintiff's leg and broken it. The defendant had pleaded not guilty, and at the trial it had been attempted to be proved that the plaintiff had accidently slipped off the curb-stone and fallen underneath the wheel of the cart, which was passing at the time. Mr. Justice Wightman, who tried the cause, told the Jury that if they were of opinion that the injury the plaintiff had sustained was the result of unavoidable accident, they , must find for the defendant. The Jury being of that opinion, returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Crowder subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, alleging that as the defendant had not put a plea of justification on the record, it was not competent for him to raise the question of accident at the trial. Mr. KNOWLES, to-day, showed cause against the rule. The COURT ordered the rule for a new trial to be made absolute. VERTET V. RUSSELL. This was an action brought by a physician to re cover a sum of money 'alleged to be due from the defendant, a lady, for plaintiff's medical attendance on her brother. At the trial it had been admitted that a physician could not recover his fees by ac tion, but it was alleged, that in the present instance, there had been a special contract, in proof of which several letters were put in in evidence. The Jury re turned a verdict for defendant. The Attorney-Gene ral subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The COURT, having heard 31r. Thesiger, Mr. War ren, and Mr. Bovill against the rule ; and the At torney-General and Mr. Peacock in support of it, or-• dered the rule to be discharged. In the cases of Hayes v.

It ap peared that the defendant had 3 contract for the ar rangement of the gas apparatus of Drury-lane theatre, under the London Gas Company, but not being ready upon the opening of the theatre after last Christmas, he came to the plaintiffs and asked them to send some lamps for the saloon of Drury-lane, to which Mr. Greensil replied that he did not like to have anything to do with theatres.

This was an action against the Sheriffs of Middle sex for refusing to levy against the goods of one James Pett. Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. White were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Bompas for the Sheriffs. In the year 1834, James Pett, a builder at Hamp stead, wishing to compound with his creditors, bor rowed the sum of 4001. from the plaintiff in this action, a gentleman of fortune, for that purpose. Subse quently to this, the plaintiff being unable to obtain his money, brought an action against Pett for the recovery of the amount, and obtained a verdict. Judgment was entered ; but, in the meantime, a fiat in bank ruptcy had been issued against Pett, and, therefore, the Sheriffs declined to levy his goods, on the ground that they Nvere the property of his assignees. The plaintiff had, therefore, commenced an action against the Sheriffs in 1837, which had remained over till the present time, and now came on for trial. The ground upon which the action was brought was, that there was no good petitioning creditor's debt. It was alleged on the part of the plaintiff that the petitioning credi tor against Pett had issued the fiat merely for the purpose of getting rid of the plaintiff's claim. Evi dence was attempted to be shown that the petitioning creditor, Mr. Walton, a timber-merchant, had ad vised the other creditors to take a composition of 6s. 9d. in the pound in the year 1834, and that the claim under the bankruptcy was part of that com pounding. This evidence was, however, considered not legal, and it was, therefore, not admitted. Mr. James Pett was called, and a long argument took place as to whether he could be admitted as a witness against his own bankruptcy. Mr. Justice Cresswell held that he could. He was about to be sworn, when he addressed his Lordship, and said he wished to know how he was to be paid for his attendance. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he supposed he would be paid in the usual way, and whatever was proper. The attorney said he would see him paid. Mr. Pett said he had attended last term seven days, and then he could not get a farthing from the solicitor, and he did not know why he should trust him again. He should .decline being sworn until he had been paid. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL consulted with the officer of the Court, and ordered the witness to be paid 30s. for his two days' attendance. He was then sworn. Ills evidence merely went to show that his debt to the petitioning creditor was more than 1001. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he thought there was no case for the Jury. The case was one of great difficulty. The allegations on the part of the plaintiff were extremely difficult of proof, and out of which many complicated points of law would arise. As the matter at present stood no case had been made out by the plaintiff, and his allegations were entirely without proof. A verdict must therefore be taken for the defendants. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 28. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THUREY. This was a revenue case ; but, immediately after the Jury had been sworn in, the Attorney-General announced that an arrangement had been come to be tween counseqon both sides, to the effect that a ver dict for the sum of 9001. should be entered for the Crown. This verdict was accordingly returned. WORRILL V. JENKINS. This was an action brought to recover the amount due upon a promissory note of 201. It appeared that a person of the name of Cooke had applied to the Marylebone Joint-Stock Discount and Loan Com pany, for a loan in the commencement of the year 1841. The sum of 191. was advanced to him by the Company, upon his giving the present promissory note, for the payment of which three persons, of the names of Thwaites, Pollyblanke, and Jenkins, the defendant in this case, made themselves sureties. The note was made payable on demand to Messrs. Deakes and Sodon, the Chairman and Deputy - Chairman o f 1 the Company ; but it seemed that there had been an understanding between the parties, according to the usual mode in which the Company transacted busi ness, that the amount might be paid in instalments. Immediately after the present defendant had signed his name us a surety, he found he had reason to think that Cooke was in embarrassed circumstances ; upon , the amount of which which be proceeded to the office of the C om pa ny , arid informed the Cha irman that he wished to have h is removedbeen from n paid the . no Notwithstanding this notice, however, Cooke afterwards received the amount. Two n h a ad med not then b instalments of eight shillings each had been paid by Cooke ; but as he became unable to meet any portion of the remainder , application was made to the three sureties, and Pollyblanke paid to the Company the sum of 101. The sum of 91. 4s. then remaining due upon it, it passed from the Company into the hands of the present plaintiff. The defendant now pleaded that there had been no consideration for the note paid by the plaintiff, and that the defendant could not be made liable, inasmuch as he had given' notice before the note had been cashed, that he would not be a surety for its payment. Mr. Barnard, one of the two attorneys fo the Company, stated in evidence that the note had been put into his hands by his employers, in order that he might take proceedings to recover the amount. Be fore any proceedings were taken by him, the note had been given to sir. Chapple, the other attorney of 1 the Company, who also acted as attorney for the plaintiff in the present case. Mr. Deakes, the Chairman ;of the Company, de posed to Mr. Jenkins, the defendant in this case, calling at the office of the Company, and giving notice that he wished to withdraw his name from the note, the amount of which had not then been paid. Wit ness refused to allow him to take any step in the matter, as the note was drawn up and the names of the sureties attached to it. The note was dated in the month of February, 1841, and had passed from the hands of the solicitor of the Com pany into those of the present plaintiff at the latter end of that year. Witness did not know what con sideration the plaintiff might have given for the n ote._ No further evidence was Produce d, the Learned.
