CONN BILL. In answer to a question from an Hon. Member, Sir IL PEEL , said, he purposed proceeding with the Corn Bill this day (Tuesday), if motions which had precedence should be disposed of at a sufficiently early hour to afford him the opportunity. QUEEN'S PRISON BILL. This Bill went through Committee, and was read a third time. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. PANORAMA OF WATERLOO. We attended yesterday a private view of this Pano rama, which is One of the most interesting that Mr. Burford has yet painted. The sketch—we quote the words of the artist's description—" is taken from the plateau in the rear of the farm of La Haye Sainte, near the spot from whence the Duke of Wellington directed the operations during most of the day. Immediately in the front, and partly in the hollow, stands the farm and its dependencies, being the advance of the left • centre of the Allies, and, the scene of the fiercest con tentions. The road to Genappe passes the farm, and ascends the opposite heights to the French position at La Belle Alliance. A stunted hedge bounding each side of a narrow cross road, runs • from Ter la Haye,. in the hollow on the left, where the British left wing terminated, and joins the <>Tee road near the Duke of Wellington's tree; - be hind this hedge the fifth division were formed. Fur ther to the east, the prospect is hounded by the Woods near Frischermont, from which the Prussians issued on the right flank of the French. Towards the right the chateau and small wood of Hougoumont, the most advanced post of the right centre of the British, is seen closely approximating the French line, an impor- Lint position • commanding the whole of the right wing, repeatedly attacked and successfully defended by the Foot Guards. Further to the right is the road to Nivelles from Brussels • Merbe Braine, where the extreme ri g ht were posted, protected by the enclosed ground and deep ravines ; and further west in the distance, Braine In Leude. • The opposite heights, f:om right to left, formed the position ef the French army, tne most conspicuous object being the house called La Belle Alliance, Bonaparte's head-quarters, near which he remained all the early part of the day. In the rear of the British is the village .of Mont St. Jean ; at a greater distance 'Waterloo, and the forest of Soignics, intersected by the road f rom Ch ar l ero i t o Brussels, bounds the prospect. The time represented is that when the Guards, having delivered their fire, commence charging the Imperial columns, and the Duke gives the word for the whole army to advance." Of course his Grace is the most con spicuous figure in the Panorama. He is represented on horseback in the foreground, with his hat off, waving his men on to the last decisive charge, and surrounded by a brilliant staff. The groupe about him is a very effective one, and is the first marked ob ject that strikes the eye on entering. At a short dis tance off appears a small knot of French military officers, standing apparently quite inactive on a gentle eminence. This groupe consists of Napoleon and one or two attendants, who are watching the mo vemen t s of the Imp er i a l Guard, who have just received orders to advance on the enemy. The struggle between them and the English cavalry, who are led on by the Earl of Uxbridge, is ponrtrayed with great animation. The distances of the picture are also cleverly defined; and, indeed, the whole scene is so accurately sketched, and the colouring so vivid, that the spectator will gather from it an excellent idea of the most remark able battle that has been fought in modern times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS.—YESTERDAY. In the course of the afternoon, the 2,00 C) Guinea Stakes, }ester Cap, arnd Oaks, were touched upon occasionally, but tie weight of the business, which was very animated, turned upon the Derby, and in some instances with marked effect. Atti a and Chatham were not ip any request., and the prices quoted against them must be received as purely nominal; the latter, indeed, was so far from be►ng in force, that 500 to 400 was laid on Wiseacre against him. The most prominent favourites were Auckland, Wiseacre, The Lord of Holdernesse, Espartero, and Palinurus : the first of this lot was backed repeatedly at 17 to 1, 1,000 to 60, and 16 to 1 ; the second. at 25, 23, and in one instance at 21 to 1; the third freely at 33 and Si) to 1 ; and the two next, in several quarters, at 1,000 to 25, and, in more than one, at five points less. The Dirce colt, and Robert de Gorham declined, and Canadian, the Acacia colt and Meteor, although backed, were scarcely in such good odour as when we last re ported the movements at the corner. Lasso and the Joanna colt were supported with considerable energy by three or four parties, but left off pretty nearly as they opened. leyond a bet of 500 to 201) against Wiseacre, for the 2,000 Guinea Stakes; 30 to 1 agst Dark Susan, and 18 to 1 agst Sir G. Heatheote's lot (both in fifties) for the Oaks, and a few ten and twenty pound bets on the Chester Cup, there was nothing else of importance. At a later period than usual the odds closed as under :—.

A Bill has just been brought into Parliament for the transfer of licenses and regulation of public-houses, which contains some useful clauses, but is still extremely defective as a measure including so many interests. It has been prepared by Captain Bons, with the assist ance of Mr. GREENE, the Chairman of Committees ; and though the Gallant Officer is in gratitude bound to give something in return for the services of the publicans at the last election, he ought not to have forgotten his other constituents and the public at large. The Bill enacts that public-houses shall be closed on Saturday night at twelve o'clock, and on the night preceding Good Friday and Christmas-day, and that they shall remain shut up till one o'clock in the after noon of the foll Owing. day, after which publicans shall be at liberty to keep them open as they may judge fit. Now, why not give a little extension to this plan ? Our lawgivers admit, that opening a house for refreshment is no desecration of the Sabbath, we can, therefore, see no . reason whatever for closing the m on 'Saturday night a t twelve, the very - hour when refreshments• are more wanted than in any of the t venty-four. Thousands leave the theatres but a few -minutes before twelve, and though many of them have no means of obtaining re freshment at home, the doors of all public-houses are closed against them, as if they were about to commit some enormous crime. The higher classes, who legis late for all the rest, in this instance, as in most others, forget the public when their own interests are not concerned. They remain at the Opera witnessing profane dancing till one o'clock on Sunday morning, and while thus desecrating the Sabbath them selves, under the pretence of religion they sanction a practice which, without one useful result, causes great injustice and hardship to the lower classes. If there were not such places as well-stored cellars and larders; a clause like this would be thrown out by general acclaination. We trust, therefore, Captain R0#1.3 will perform his duty impartially, and mete out the same law to the poor as to the rick: But the Bill is only one of those patchworks which are a disgrace to the Legislature. The whole system of licensing and regulating houses is radically bad. A publican has no security whatever for his pro perty, and is entirely at the mercy of a few justices, who seem to delight only in inflicting fines, or withdrawing the license—the only means which the unfortunate victim has of gaining his bread. The declaration of Lord JonsT RUSSELL in the House of Commons last night, that he will oppose the income tax at every stage, is hailed this morning with delight by the commercial and professional classes in every part of the metropolis. From every district in London letters are already pouring in upon us, expressive of the general joy which so straight-forward and patriotic a course on the part of the Noble Lord, has diffused. This delight will not long be confined to London. The country will participate in it. The people' tongue-tied by . surprise at the boldness of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S schemes of taxation, are only be ginning to recover themselves so far as to perceive that the income tax is meant rather as an act of Tory ven geance than of State necessity. All that is wanted from their friends in the House of Commons is a little time to allow them to speak out before the passing of this most inquisitorial and oppressive impost. We. have now arrived at a time when we can test the patriotism of the Liberal party in Parliament. If that party perform its duty to the public, no ma:ori :ties on the part of Sir ROBERT PEEL, without suspending the forms of •the House; can carry the income tax for this season at least. We know the Tories will raise a great outcry about a factious opposition, a resistance to the clearly expressed will of the majority in Parlia ment ; but there are occasions when no opp(.4- sition can be factious, and the present is one of them. Resistance to wrong can never be factious, be cause it is the duty of every man collectively and indi , vidually. HAMPDEN and PYM were not factious when they resisted ship-money, although the tools of the Court stigmatised their conduct by that epithet. Looking at the question in a party light, it offers facilities for recovering the confidence of the country of which the Whigs could not have dreamt at the com mencement of the Session. Had Sir ROBERT PEEL proposed, instead of an income tax, a property tax barely sufficient to make up the deficit in the Budget, and pruned the tariff with a bolder application of the knife, his tenure of office was at once secure. But to spite the mercantile and trading classes, who carried the Reform Bill, and who, during the last eleven years, kept him out of office, he has had recourse to the . odious, inquisitorial, and vexatious scheme of an income tax, while his pro posed new tariff is meant more to humbug or insult than to benefit them. These are fatal errors, as most errors are which spring from the gratification of vindictive feelings. No blindness is so absolute as that of passion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL appears to have had the quickness to perceive them at the right moment. But what are our great provincial towns about ? Are the merchants and tradesmen there prepared to disclose their most private affairs to the tax-gatherer—to make their rivals in business acquainted with the real state of their circumstances ? And if they are not, why do they not now rise as one man to resist this most un-English espionage tax ? Silently to petition is not enough. They must address themselves in decided language to their representatives. Let them look to the divisions, and set about the rejection of every Member who votes for this Tory spy tax. We repeat, the country will now have an opportunity I of testing the metal of which the Liberal party in Par liament is composed. The battle to be fought is one of the most important which has been fought in England since the passing of the Reform Bill. The tax cannot be im posed before Easter, and before the holydays are over there will be time for the country to .gird on her armour, and advance to the assistance of the RUSSELL band in Parliament. Sir ROBERT PEEL threatens resig nation if defeated upon his pet nostrum of an income tax. Let the Right Honourable Baronet retire by all means. England will contrive to live without his State-physicianship. In fact, were he to retire now the Liberals would raise a monument to him in Palace-yard, for during his short administra tion he has done more to expose the utter fallacy 'of Tory principles than did JEREMY Be'- TUAM in all the long years spent by him i free constitutions for all the nations ... rorming . the earth. Lt nis ,great 444.i8eik3i1 as him retire by all means, now the a Minister is accomplished - 14.3.. There is no politikai topic of any account in the Frene } :. Jon.r.sts. Rumours are afloat that a modifica tiCm u'ii take place in the Cabinet previous to the new elections. If this be so, one of the retiring Ministers will unquestionably be M. GUIZOT, whose popularity at present is at the lowest ebb. As Minister of the In terior, it is his duty to manage the elections, and the Court has already decided that his' uni versal unpopularity disqualifies him for such a task. We wish that we could add that his moral integrity rendered him incapable of ade quately conducting a series of disgraceful jobs ; but M. GUIZOT has permitted the KING to drag him through so much mire already, that we can hardly acquit him of a willingness to retain office during the bribing manage ment elan election. But out he will go if a change in any branch of the Cabinet takes place. A private letter assures us that M. TRIERS and Count MOLE have arranged their differences sufficiently to be able once more to take their seats at the same Council board. As Minister of the Interior M. TRIERS would manage an election famously. Troubled with no qualms of conscience upon the subject, he would scatter bribes, appointments, and promises, with the easy beneficence of the deity of corruption. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees rays—" On Monday last a most pressing order arrived from the Government, enjoining the authorities to send forth% ith into the interior of France 37 Spaniards who had taken refuge in cur town, in consequence of the events of October.

He gave his card, and civilly asked per mission to attend the inquest, and while the butler or one of the upper servants left to make inquiry, a large powerful coarse-looking .man came into the hall and rudely accosted him with the words "What's this ? Who are you ?" No time was given for expostulation, for he was instantly ejected by great force into the street. Any remarks on such a violent • and unprovoked assault would be thrown away on a vulgar menial like this, and we have therefore only noticed the brutal act in order to call the attention of Colonel Fox, or some of the rela tives of the deceased to the subject. Other reporters were admitted, and we would therefore suggest the pro priety of an inquiry to ascertain the reason why one was excluded and others admitted. THE TORY INCOME TAX.—As the Tamworth Quack's chances of persuading the people into a belief that the Income Tax is the best of all possible taxes, diminish, his " buoyancy and alacrity of spirit" diminish in like pro portion. He is now becoming quite pensive, with a dash of spleen to diversify his melancholy, and ex presses a truly pathetic astonishment that there should he the slightest difference of opinion on the subject of his pet Nostrum. He cannot understand what pos sible objection there can be to a standing army of tax gatherers; and is horror-struck at the fast increasing unpopularity of his pick pocket system of legislation The Income tax, he says, is the impost of all others most likely to suit the delicate sensibi,lity of John Bull's poc ket ; and therefore he is resolved to make him happy and comfortable, in spite of himself. Egregious Quack ! His patient is suffering under atrophy, and he treats him for plethora. He is weak, languid, and exhausted, and by way of recruiting his strength, he claps horse-leeches on him, in the shape of tax-gatherers I When Chan cellor Oxienstern said, two centuries ago, to his son, "My child, see with how little wisdom a country is governed !" it is evident. to us that he must have had a prophetic eye to the administration of Sir Robert Peel. COLONIAL . ASSES. We learn on good authority that Petitions are everywhere getting up in the agricultural • districts against the proposed reduction of duty on Co lonial Asses, as it will tend to depreciate the value of the home-growth of Buckinghams, Knatchbulls, &c. When Sir Robert Peel was asked what was his prin cipal reason for reducing the duty on Colonial Asses, he replied, that it was to gratify the fellow-feelings of his long-eared supporters in Parliament, veho would no doubt be pleased with such a show of attention to the interests of their " Colonial' brethren. The Court is expected to leave town this afternoon for Windsor Castle for the holidays. Three o'clock is the hour fixed for the departure of the Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, attended by the Royal suite. Lady Peel and family left town this morning for Brighton. Sir Robert remains in town, but is expected to join her Ladyship and family at the end of the week, and to remain during the holidays.

Money has b ecome exceedingly s carc e, and for a loan for a day or so, coma :ands the rate of 8 per cent., and for a week 4 per cent. This is to be attributed to the necessity of pledg ing a quantity of Stock which had been privately pur chased for money, and is now to be taken up. Under the pressure of these sales, prices have declined still more, and Consols are marked 89',' 893 for Money. and 8 9 for the Ac count. Bank Stock has been sold at 1691- for the opening ; New Three-and-a- Half per Cents. at 99, and 99A, for immediate transfer. India Bonds bear a premium of 95., and Exchequer Bills, 28s. to 30s. The Foreign Market is comparatively neglected, and hardly a purchase has been made. The price of Brazilian is 65 • of the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52A to 52%; of the Five per Cents., 10:;A to 1033. The quotations for Mexican are 41 for Money and 411 for the Account; Spanish, 24i to 241. From the state of the English Stocks, Shares have been neg lected, and the only sales have been a few Brighton, at 36} and the Croydon Trunk, ]3%. The Harnburgh Mail brings the price of Gold, 434, and the Exchange or, London, 13s. The course adopted by the French Ministry in postponing the alteration in the Sugar Duties, has caused great discontent in the various commercial ports. By the arrival of the lowa from New York, which sailed on the 26th February, some further information relative to the dis pute between the French authorities, and those of St. Domingo is obtained. Nothing decisive has occurred on either side, the foimer power having a strong fleet in the roads consisting of a frigate, two oorvettes, and three smaller vessels, while the latter had strengthened the fortifications, armed the batteries, and made every preparation for repelling any attack which might be made. Matters bore an outward appearance of tranquillity, but it was to be feared that beneath this appa rent quiet, cause for serious alarm existed. Mexico by the latest accounts had become settled, but was doubted if Tobasce had returned to its dependence on the Fede ral Government. • PIICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. ILWAYS. raid. Per Share.

EDNEY'S ANNUAL CONCERT. The ahott tbncert was delivered last night to a numerous tor. 4 respectable audience, at the Music-hall, Store -street. Miss Itainforth's name need only be mentioned, to say that she was the charmer of the night. Her cavatina of " Peace in viting" was sung with that degree of ornate and beautiful pro priety which so distinguishes whatever she undertakes.

Mr. Robinson, who gave " The Kiss" and " Wake, lady, wake," dispatched those light love-lilts with due nicety and• daintiness.

Adams delivered the first of his lectures on Astronomy last night at the Adelphi Theatre, to a numerous and respectable audience, and his ex planation of planetary phenomena by means of transparencies and moving sceneries, was correct. and splendid. After describ ing the earth and its phases under a variety of influences, Mr. Adams represented the !nfluence of the sun arid moon in pro ducing spring and neap tides on his transparent apparatus, on which were visible the earth and moon, with the water following the latter as she revolves round the earth, and also showing the solar tid e as a l ternate l y ra i se d and depre sse d by the sun, as the sun and moon respectively change their line of direction.

S RI MARY OF ME FOREIGN. The Paris Opposition journals continue to make objections to the proposed treaty of commerce between France and Great Britain, and which, it would appear, would encounter much difficulty and delay. The National discredits the reported impending break up of the present Administration, "because," says the National, " the Ministry would only be changed for a worse, and there would be great difficulty in finding for it such a successor." A return of the commercial navy of France is published in these papers, from which it appears that the total number of merchant vessels afloat is 15,417 ; of ,this number 133 are steamers. These ri turns show that there are in the commer cial navy of France only 24 ships the tonnage of which exceeds 500 tons. M. Benjamin Delefsert, President of the Administration of the Savings' Banks of Paris, presented his report of the ope rations and situations of those banks during the year 1841, on the 19th ir.st. According to that document, the investments amounted in the year to .... 40,041,548 f. 30e. and the reimbursements to 26,911,458f. 78c. leaving an increase of 13,130,089f. 52c. which, addel to the sums deposited in the Treasury cn Dec. 31, 1841. constituted a total of 83,485,427f. 30c. invested in the savings banks of Paris. As compared with 1840, the investments showed an increase in 1841 of 5,245,000 f., and the reimbursements a diminution of 6,883,000 f.

PAULL% WhE.T.i'lataialr. The Duke of Wellington announced lash night that he would this day move the adjournment to April 7. A few petitions were received, a few papers were laid on the tab'e, the Eeclesie astical Residences Bill was read a second Cnie,and a Bill to de. fine the jurisdiction at• Quarter Session was read a first time and then their Lord hips adjourned. The Speaker informed the House that the petition against the return of Messrs. Cochrane and Mitchell for Bridport is not to be prosecuted. In answer to Mr. Duff, Sir Robert Peel rdmitted that he could make no progress with the tarifa before Easter. In answer to Mr. Lindsay, Sir Rolm Peel stated that the Governor-General of India bad been ordered to inquire into the price of opium at the time it was sized at China. In answer to Mr. Shaw, Lord Eliot said that no alteration was to be made in the appropriation' of the grant for education in Ireland. A brief discussion took place as to the business of the House, in which Sir R. Peel expressed his determination to adhere to his own plaits, and force forward his 'income tax propo s iti on as fast as possible ; th ereupon L or d John Russell gave notice that he should divide the House against it at eve r y s t age . The Mou=e w en t i nto a Committee of Ways and Means, and the resolution to impose an income tax was again put. Mr. Hawes opposed it in a speech of some length, concluding with a declaration that he would oppose the measure by all the means in his power. Mr. Alderman Thompson supported the resolution, and held up some raffish states as a warning for us. Sir W. Clay admitted the financial difficulties, but con tended it could be remedied without having recourse to a pro perty tax. A censiderable'debate ensued, Mr. C. Wood and Sir George Grey being two of the chief speakers, as hich terminated at a Quarter-past One, after two divisions, in both of which the Tories had large majorities, by the Chairman reporting pro wess and obtaining leave to sit again on'Wednesday. istaBTACC Od'INIOZT. The Morning Advertiser, speaking of the opinions of the Tory Press on the subject of the income tax, says :—" They cannot afford to compliment the Minister at the expense of their own circulation, and they know pretty well that there is scarcely one in a hundred of their readers who does riot scout the income tax, in the shape in which Sir Robert Peel seems resolved to force it down, as one of the most oppressive mea sures that the present generation has ever been subjected to." The Post observes of the income tax :—" This is the mu ' meut at which the aid of a really Conservative Press to the Government of the country is most required. All taxes are, of course, unpopular— an income tax is especially so, because it is so obviously a tax, and because not only the reality but the hope of evading it is forbidden. But this much all we Con servatives admit, that the time has come for making a great exertion to restore the country to a sound financial condition," The Times says i—" In our yesterday's article on the pro • posed income tax we observed, that the principles on which such a tax must be founded--the only principles on which a rich man can at any tittle be called upon to contribute more to the defence or edunnistrati in of the country than a poor one —*ere, first, that he could afford to pay ; secondly, th a t ho received a gr ea t er amount o f valuahlelpretection from the State. Except upon these ptinciplet, we cannot conceive why a tax ahould take the form of a per tentage on income at ally in its steal we should not impose an equable poll-tax, say ss. per head per annum, on all her Majesty's taxable sub jects, putting those into prison who have not the money to pt. And on those principles we aro at a loss to utelerititha how Sir R. Peel can refuse the practical tbisidusion which seems to us to flow from it inevitably and immediately." The Chronicle thus refers to the income fax:—"lt is by stealing a march on public opinion that such an unjust tax can be imposed on the country. The necessities of the eottntfy are not such as to reconcile it to the most WINO' and unfair of all conceivable imposts, without taking into consideration the inquisitorial machinery by which alone the tax on trades and professions can be raised. It is, in every sense of the word, a revolutionary tax. Under the pretence of subjecting all in comes to the same rate, the most revolting injustice is about to be perpetrated. No distinction is made between capital atid interest." The Herald, notic;ng e tOmrnunication from a Correspon dent, signed " Mitt Englishman," on the subject of the in come tax, makes the following remarks :—" The real question is that put by John Englishman, Is justice done to all classes when, in imposing an income tax, the higher is let tie at abet is really a lighter rate than that pad by the middle class? Sir Robert Peel may depend upon it that, should he carry through the House of Commons his presetat proposition, he will thereby establish a grievance in a section of the commuaity in a ma tt er *hith trust tell against him at the next general election. t Next after the cravings of physical want,' most truly writes Mir eerrespottdent, T ' t h h e i sdfeeling wh o i f eh g r s ie ir va n nc o e be h r a t s t b4e i n h t i n s e t g rig teite§t political actor.' tax is not, John Englishstan pints out, a e b ir e icom de fect—to lay an unvarying per centa ; e on properties of all I. a af n te et unavoidable kinds is not essential to such an impost.; and what the people have a right to dematid from Sir Robert Peel is not merely a good measure, Out the best possible measure that can t devised." ate— I3r=—Tit CE.

(Before Vice.-Chncellor WIGRAM.) BULTEEL V. LORD AIIINGER.—JUDGMENT. His Hosoun gave judgment in this cause. The plaintiff was Mr. John Butted, and the defendants were Lord Abinger, Sir Edmund Curry, and Mr. Benjamin Curry. The prayer of the bill was that the agreement made and entered into be tween the defendant, Mr. Benjamin Curry, for himself, and as the ngent of Lord Abinger and Sir Edmund Curry, with the plaintiff, for the sale and purchase of the Rapley or Bagshot estate, might be specifically performed. The real question in the cause was whether Mr. Benjamin Curry was the agent of Lord. Abinger, lawfully authorised to make the contract in question. The plaintiff and the defendants were appointed trustees under the will of the late Duke Of Gloucester, and by a deed executed on the 28th of February, 1835, cer tain estates were vested in them upon trust for sale ; the Bag shot estate had been put up for sale by auction on three occa sions, namely,—on the 21st July, 1835, on the 7th June, 1836, and on the 22d June, 1838, but without sums; ; it appeared that on the last occasion the reserved bidding was 25,000/. ; Mr. Benjamin Curry, who was a solicitor, appeared to have been entrusted by his co-trustees with the execution of several acts in relation to the estate. After the last auction endeavours were made to effect a sale by private con tract, the trusters requiring each bidder to make his offer, ;rid then the other bidders were to be applied to in order to ascertain whether they would make any advance. His Honour then proceeded to refer to the treaty entered into by the enaintiff with Mr. Benjamin Curry and Sir Edmund Curry, for the purchase of the edate, and all facts and cor respondence in relation to it, down to the signing of the con tract between Mr. Benjamin Curry, Sir Edmund Curry, and the plaintiffs, on the 30th of July, 1833. On the 14th March, 1839, the bill was fled by the pla;ntiff—it had been amended twice, and the :eve: al answers of the defendants having been put in, the cause csme on for hea r i n g on th e 3d o f t h e presen t month. The plaintiff undertook to prove two things—first, that Mr. Benjamin Curry was the agent of Lord Abinger, lawfully authorised to sign the contract to the plaintiff; and secondly, that Mr. Benjamin Curry's letter was a sufficient note or memorandum of that contract for the purposes of that sale. In answer to the plaintiff's argument, the Counsel for Lord Abinger had ern:tended—first, that Mr. Benjamin Curry was not the leent for Lerd Abinger, "lawfully authorised' to sign the contract to the plaintiff; secondly, that admitting the letter of Mr. Besjamin Curry, of the 26th of July, 1833, to have been in the absence of a sufficient note or memorandum in writing, a contract for the sale of the estate to the plaintiff, it could not be enforced in that suit ; and, thirdly, that supposing Mr. Benjamin Curry was authorised by Lord 'Abinger to sell the estate, it bad been a breach of trust. The plaintiff insisted that the authority of Nr, Benjamin Curry was implied by the manner in which the trusts had generally been executed, and secondly, that a special authority was given to him to sell the estate, by Lord Abinger's letter of the 23d of July, 1836 Mri Bei jamin Curry, in his answer stated. that in the sale of Gloucester-house, of certain share; in public'companies, and in the sale of the small plots of land on the Bagshot estate, be had acted as agent for the trustees— that in the sale by public auction he had acted in the same capacity, and that in the execution of the contract to Sir. Bul teel, he considered himaci a.; ectilig upon the authority of Lord Abinger. Sir Edmund Curry, in his answer, stet d that, under the circumstances, he did not believe the contract of the plain tiff was binding, inasmuch as he did not b e li eve th a t th e de fendant, Mr. Benjamin Ctiery, had flee authority to make the content binding upon Lord Abinger ; and, ;re fate, he did not at the time consider or suppose that any agreement With the plaintiff was finally concluded. His Honour said he was very strongly inclined to concur in the views taken by Sir Edmund Curry of his dttly its trtist t e i he felt confident that if Sir Ed mund Curry and Mr. Benjamin nifty had insole a contract to Mr.. Scariett to sell the estate to him for 23,0001., Whilst the plaintiff was wiling to give 26,000/., and Lord Abinger, with the knowledge of that first, had attempted to effect the sale of the estate to his son, a Court of Equity would not have given its sanction to that stile, If Lord Abinger would have been bound in that cage to tefiteri his Assent to the contract, be was equally hound to refuse, where such 3 rtfusal might lead some to say that the contract was made in favour of his son. Giving Mr. Benjamin Curry credit for stating truly what were his general impressions, it could be scarcely con tended, that because, at a Professional man, he was entrusted by his co-trueteee with ministerial parts of the trusts, he thereby acquired an authority to sell the estate for 95,000/. His acting as agent when the estate was put up for sale by public auction, conferred no such authority. It did not apptar that in a single instance, before the transaction in question, Mr. B. Curry had tak en upon hi mse lf , or cons id ered himself, ' at liberty to act in execution of the trusts of the original inden ture without the previous concurrence and sanction of his co trustees. The shares in public Companies were a species of Property which, as an executor, he might have authority to sell. In the sale of Gloucester House, and of the plots of land before mentioned, the price was the subject of previous ar rangement between himself and his co-trustees. His Honour observed that he should confess he was wholly unable to under stand, under those circumstance s , how Mr. Benjamin C urry could have imagined that he had authority to bind his co-trustees in making this contract with the plaintiff. Either of the other trustees might, on the same premises, have claimed an exclusive right to .deal with the property. H e could scarcely understand how the plaintiff could stop short of the conclusion that Mr. Benjamin Curry himself, or any of the other trustees, might have paid the 23,0001., and insisted upon taking the estate to himself ; for unless the agreement could be taken this length, he could not understand how any of the trustees could have a right to deprive the estate of the benefit of that cotnpetion which had been uniformly secured to it up to the 25 hof July 1833. Mr. Benjamin Curry's answer was not evidence against Lord Abinger; the plaintiff's case mutt stand or fall by the correspondence in the cause. That preceding the contract was entirely of a neutral character, but as far as it had any bearing upon it it tended to negative the esittence of such an authority. His Honour then read the letter of • the 93d of June, 1839, written by Mr. Ben jamin Curry to Sir Edmund Curry, an d i n f orm i ng him of Mr. Bulteel's offer of 25,000/., and recommending that that offer should be accepted at once, as Mr. Bolted was going abroad. Then folloveed a letter of the 24th of June„ 1838, from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who had been in treaty for the purchase of she estate, offering 24,000/. His Honour then read passages from the evi,ience of Mr. Wilmcri who was the partner of Mr: Benjamin Curry, and in timately Acquainted with the history Of the transactions, for the purpose of showing what was his view of the position of the parties previous to the contract. Looking at that evidence, and coupling it with the other evidence in the cause, he had no hesitation in saying dna Sir Edrntied Ctirrf did yet consid er him se lf or M r. Benja iiiiii CiirrY at libnily to thake tltfi, etilitract frith the plaintiff on behalf of Lord Abinger. Then cal e Mr. Benjamin Curry's letter to Lord Abinger of the 26th of July, 1838, which was so much relied upon by the plaintiff. In that letter occurred the following passage t "My brother agreed that under the Cithittnstantel, tie ought to close the bargain, atid that tit Might rest assured of your approbation," Lord Abinger 6 colitinl clinteilded thet that pas-nee was an admis sion by Mr. B en j am i n C ur r y that Abinger's consent was necessary to confirm the contract ; whilet the ceirnsel for the plaintiff contended that it imparted nothing more than the desire of an agent to find that his principal approved of his eflndlict. He could not tOneer in the latter construc tion. The words In his viten inure kWh rie would be Used by a person Whts was asking fir sanction of an authority which tie had eteuffied. Bet, if he entertained any doubt on that point, t would lee eetirely ternariesl by the letter of Mr. Benjamin Curry to Lord Abinget, Of the 27th of July, 1838. If Mr. Benjamin Curry had felt himself in the posh ion which was stated. ha would hire ; emonstrated with Lord Abinger for hi. unworthy conduct; instead of which he wrote as follows:—" I have received your letter. which places us in a difficulty.

A search warrant wss taken out against the prisoner, and the missing cheese was found in his cottage. The prisoner said his wife had found the cheese. The CriaramAx summed up the evidence, and the jury re turned a verdict of guilty. The prosecutor strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy, as he had previously hot uc a good character, and had expressed his sorrow for v.hat he had done. He %las sentenced to three months imprisonment The other cases were of trifling importance, and possessed no features of public ir.terest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Tebhet was placed a. the bzr before Alderman Sir G. Carroll, charged with defrauding Thomas Dufney of a piece of broad cloth, of the value of 203. It appeared that the prosecutor bad applied to the pri soner to pawn a piece of cloth for him, as he was in want of money. The prisoner agreed to do so, and the prosecutor accompanied him to a shop in Shoe lane, which the prisoner entered. Tic prosecutor waited out side for him for upwards of an hour and a half, but the prisoner did not make his appearance The prosecutor then went into the shop and found that the prisoner had been gone some time, taking the cloth with him. On Saturday last the prosecutor met the prisoner in Sime-lane, and asked him what he had done with the cloth, the poisoner said that he had pawned it in the llorouLit for 205., but he had neither got the money nor the ticket. The prosecutor then gave him into custody. 9he prisoner, in his defence, said that the prosecutor was in the habit of buying cloth at 3s. a yard, and pawning it for Bs., anti that was the reasou he had asked him to pawn the cloth in question. A man of the name of Baker who was a partner of the prosecutor had get . the ticket and part of the money. The Magistrate here stopped the proceedings, and said he could not deal with the ease, and it was therefore dismissed. BOW-STREET.-(ThL,S DAY.) There was no one case possessing in itself the slightest inte rest or amusement to the public at large brought before the Court this, morning. The whole of the proceedings were " flat, stale,"—we cannot With justice add " unprofitable,"_ seeing that several fines were imposed for drunkenness. The. whole of the morning charges were got over by a few minutes after eleven o'clock. MA R LBORO UGH-SIRE ET. (Tins I)AY.) DEFACING GENERAL POST' LETTERS...—. Eenry Roberts, aged 12 years, the son of a respectable grocer and cheese monger, residing in Jermyn-street, St. James's, was pl ace d at the bar, charged under the circumstances detailed in the fol lowing evidence : 111r1 Adam Clark, of No. 132, Jermyn-street, stationer, stated that he kept a receiving-box for General and Two • penny-post letters. At intervals, for a considerable time past, on opening the letter-box of a morning, the letters which it contained were found to be very, much defaced, through some dark-coloured liquid, apparently beer mixed with mud, being poured in from the outside. In many instances the su perscription could not be deciphered, and in some cases was wholly obliterated ; the stamps on the letters post-paid, also, frequently came off. This mischievous practice being repeated as often as six or seven times within the last two months, and numerous complaints having been made by the correspondents whose letters had been delayed, witness gave information to the police, which led to the prisoner's apprehension. Police constable, N0...27, of the C division, stated that last night he was placed on duty to watch the letter-box at the last witness's heuie, and about a quarter past ten saw the prisoner come out of the eln mist's shop with a phial in his hand, with which he went up in front of the letter-box, and poured part of the contents into the a?erture for receiving letters. He then ran into his father's shop, which is about six doors farther on. Witness afterwards saw the letter box opened, and some dark gi iii,.'nous mixture was smeared over six of the letters in the box, so at to render it very difficult to make ou t th e di rec ti ons . Witness afterwards apprehended the boy at his father's house. The father f the prisoner stated, that l a q night he sent him to fetch a phial of :vtuP. of buckthorn, b u t h a d never h ear d o f his playing any tricks, h the letter-box. possible lo calculate th e incon 11Ir. MALTBY said, it was ', venience and serious mischief th a t ht arise from such prac tices; he should, therefore, call upon the .father of the p r i soner to enter into his recognizance o f 184., for forthcomin g o f his son when called upon to an s w er any prosecu ti o 2 the autho rities of the Post-office might think fit to institute. WORSE-1 IP:STREET-(T HIS DAY Mr. Vine and Mr. Hurlstene, from the Police Court at Bow.street, have been appointed Clerks in this establishment, vice Mr.. Heritage and Mr. Bousted, the former of whom has been superannuated and the latter transferred to Bow-street. It is offering aluit tribute to Mr. Heritage on his retirement to state, that through the long period of thirty years, during which he held the situation of Clerk at this Court, the close and zea lous attention he devo'ed to his publ.c duties, coupled with the uniform kindness and amenity of his demeanour, elicited the unqualified respect and regard of all w h o h a d the pleasure of his acquaintance. A young fellow named William Coates was committed for trial upon a charge of having picked the pocket of a gentleman named Alurray, residing in Tiverton-square, and stolen his pocket handkerchief. The prosecutor was passing through Goswell-street last evening when he felt a tug, at his pocket, and perceiving the prisoner close at his heels, he seized hold of him and gate him into custody. The prisoner stoutly denied having touched his pocket, but the handkorchief was found lying at his feet. The prisoner was recognised as an active member of a daring gang of pickpockets who infest the neighbourhood. REPORTED SECESSION FROM THE CABINET. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Rumour is rife among the secret and select few, who have access to good information in the Tory camp, that Lord Ripon is about to retire from the Administration, and to carry along with him, like the " Farmers' Friend," one of the vacant ribands. His Lordship, we hear, reluctantly retires, and although he does so on very different grounds from those held by his Grace of Buckingham, still the straightforward ham Duke is inexorable, and "no mistake." To make the "split" in, the Cabinet intelligible to our readers, we must do, as Sir Robert Peel I tequently does, refer them to Hansard. On the 3d May last, after Lord John Russell had proposed the fixed duty, or Bs. a quarter on corn, a discussion arose in the House of Peers on the presentation of a petition by the Duke of Buckingham against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Lord Ripon supported the player of the petition, advocating protection, and denouncing Lord John Russell's measure in the following terms. His Lordship spoke, as we imagined (for we were present, and heard him) as if this country was in dependent of foreign supply •' The Corn-law," said Lord F ipon, " was a measvre of pro tection, and those who supported it did so on the grounds of ; and if Government abandoned . that high and gene humanity, and of consideration for the rants and comforts of —if, instead of it, they adopted the principle of the p the},._ of r . evettue, they ouch.] do I lint of roue rinctp..- in the world had ever before to sago for the most.!mjusti rYpr,:ecding would be the most idled fiti fiegevrd no con... afforded an exiiiipl6f 4ch fiable that vas; unpopular, the most cruel, a - h4tlie ever offered to a reluctant Legislatffe r In anticipation of the debate which mtfit I"s9n take place in the,florr e of Lords, frequent di scuss i ons haVe faet4llsekl in the Callina; r.f ik ellstaion made by " the Duke," as to the ScAolsle amount of reileftfie - Neh Robert Peel expects to derive 1.. m his giaduated scale of &TA datties, and his Grace was agreeably surprised to find that the I'Ve-T9a Honourable Baronet expected to derive, on an average, not lest tram* .1,200,000/. from f /At source ier annum.

He would lose no oppcklitnity of statingitis opinion on the subject, and he hoped the coo eitywould rise as One Mei against such a tax—against a tax on bread. On hear ing this eloquent denunciation against a tax on bread, it ic be lieved the venerable tratl)9; expressed himself nearly as ftb , lows :---" Rise as one man !
