•-•-____.,;,_ _ rtir t r 7 ' 4 4. 4 C Old PI'T2ILLIGEIZCE. CITY, Two o'CLoc& The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was firm, with a strong and active demand, holders being rather shy in selling. The -sales reached 10,000 bales, including 2,000 for exportation on speculation. Uplands were 51d., fair Mobile 6Ad., and fair Orleans 6id. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened with steadiness, and in Lancashire and Yorkshire, London and Midland, a fair busi ness was done. The Bank of England return, of which the fol- lowing is an analysis, is more satisfactory than some anticipated. The augmentation in bullion, and the reduction in the other securities are of much importance, and a further beneficial change is expected to be presented in the next weekly statement.

A more favourable state of affairs is returning to the depressed financial condition of Spain since the assembling of the Cortes. M. Bruil, the popular Minister of Finance, has prevailed upon his col league's to accede to his measure for the reform of the tariffs, which we learn by telegraph was pre sented to the Cortes on the 31st ult. On the Ist inst. a project was presented to the Cortes for the purpose of constructing a railway from Madrid to Saragossa, at the estimated cost of 40,000 reals per kilometre, provided the provinces through which it would pass engage to support a third of the expense. Yesterday on the Paris Bourse was marked by a general improvement in the prices of Rentes. Holders of Stocks remained firm at the closing quotations of Wednesday, and at a rise of 15 cen times on the 3 per Cents. for money, and 30c. for the account was noted at the close. In the Share Market, Credit Mobilier and Austrian Society Shares showed more steadiness, and Railway Shares were quoted at a decided improvement. The grain and flour markets have returned to a state of acti vity, and sellers have obtained au advance of one franc upon parcels for immediate delivery, and two francs upon those for the ensuing week. The letters and papers by the Overland Mail are in course of delivery. The shipments of the precious metals direct froth London during the week ending Thursday last comprised 149,900 OZ3. of silver, all to Hambro' and Belgium. The suspension to which we adverted yesterday is that of Messrs. Lewis, Reis, and Co., and the liabilities are stated at 170,000/. to 200,0001. Another house was likewise in difficulties, but it is expected that its affairs have been temporarily ar ranged. The English Stock Market has ruled very quiet to-day, and the quotations have been rather heavy, resulting as much from the limited business tran sacted as from any other cause. No very material alteration will probably occur until the account is adjusted. Consols opened at about 88, buyers both for money and account ; they then became sellers at that price, and the closing rates are 871 to BS. Tho December quotation is BSi Bank Stock was firm at 206 to 2071. The 30 years' annuity was marked 161. Exchequer Bills have been heavy—viz., 10d. to Gs. discount. The New 3 per Cents. have brought 874 to 88, and the Re duced 874. Foreign Stocks have been dull. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been supported at 79 to 791 ; but New Scrip was not being dealt in. Spanish Deferred Stock has been about 191, and Passive sk. Belgian 4} per Cents. rose a per cent., being 91 to 91i. Sardinian Rinds closed steadily at 841 to 841. Mexican Stock was not better than 191 ; but Pe ruvian 41 per Cents. were as high as 74. Grenada Active Bonds were 70i, and ditto Deferred 61. Brazilian 5 per Cents. were 981 to 991, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 92. _ _ The Committee of the Spanish American Bond holders have published a report describing the present position of the affairs of the bondholders, which is to be read at a public meeting on Monday next. This document, which is rather lengthy, states that by a convention of 1834 New Granada agreed to take upon herself 50 per cent. of the 6,625,930/. due by the Republic of Columbia. It was further arranged in 1848 that, in liquidation of the principal and arrears, certain bonds should be issued, for which specified proceeds of the tobacco revenue and customs' duties were the stipulated security. However, since 1850, the payment of the dividends has been suspended, and the amount now due is no less than 346,0021. 12s. 6d. The report then proceeds to state that the committee entered into lengthened correspond ence with the accredited agents of the Grauadian Government on the subject of their claim, but without obtaining any satisfactory provision for present or prospective arrears. The case is repre sented as being rendered still harder in consequence of the bondholders baying made considerable sacri fices for the convenience of the Government of New Granada. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, GI to 4 ; Mexican, 19a to ; Peruvian, 72 to 74 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 93 ; ditto Four-and•a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, 19i to ; ditto Three per Cents., 37i to 8 ; ditto Passive, 4 to 54. Except in the Great Western shares there was very little doing in the Railway share market. North Western were steady, and South Western were better. Paris and Lyons were about 10s. higher, and Great Western of Canada were de pressed to the same extent. Mining shares were mostly nominal. Austra lasian Banking shares rose 10s. Canada Land dropped 61. to 71. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT UNIT O'OL. ( Prom the oXcicsi List.) Rumness done Bank Stock ... • 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities._ B7l 8 per Cent.

QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco ) (13efore Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Cole ridge, Mr. Justice Wightznan, and Mr. Justice E trle.) SWEARING IN THE NEW JUDGE-LORD CAMPBELL'S by police -sergeant Egerton, No. 24 11, and she declared that she never took auy tiling belonging to her em ployers in her life. 0:1 being conveyed to tlie station house, she raid "I may as well tell the truth. Mary Worth took three pairs of golo s hes, and some alpaca to make a dress and a . cape for herself, and I took one pair of goloshes." Maria Hyde, the cid woman's daughter, proved that she pawned a silk waterproof coat and silk cape one day for 12e., and a silk coat on another day for Bs., and received the garments -from the pri soner. Three waterproof coats; a cape, and a pair of goloshes were produced by several pawnbrokers' assist ants, and were identified by Mr. Langdon, who said they were worth 61., and had been stolen from a ware house to which the prisoner had access. The prisoner had only been in his employ 6 weeks. He and his partner, Mr. Spill, had lost an immense deal of property, and he attributed the plunder going on upon his pre mises to the ready facilities offered by pawnbrokers for the disposal of the property. The prisoner said she was guilty of stealing the property, and that she would not have taken any of her employer's property if she had not seen others do it. The prosecutors suspected that the prisoner had been made a dupe of by the old woman Hyde, who had actually robbed the girl of her purse, containing 10g. ed. in money and two gold rings. Mrs. Hyde had pawned the rings ; and the duplicate of them, the purse, and 6s. 61 was found in her possession by Egerton, who was ordered to detain them. as Police Serjeant Egerton, No. 24 H, stated that since the last examination he had made inquiries and ascer tained that the prisoner's mother was a person of very bad character ; that her daughter had been industriously em ployed for many years in several factories and workshops, and that she had been made the dupe of her mother and the woman Hyde. The girl had maintained an honest character until she went to lodge with Mrs. Hyde. Messrs. Spill and Langdon were inclined to take the prisoner into their employ again. Mr. Ingham directed the prosecutors to be sent for, and Mr. Spill, jun., arrived soon afterwards, and said that he would take the prisoner into his employ again, and believed she had been made the dupe of others. Mr. Ingham said there was no doubt, from the infer magon received by him, the prisoner had been made the instrument of her own bad and dishonest mother and another woman. He would remand her for a few days to give her time to reflect on her conduct, and to enable Egerton to provide her with a respectable lodg ing away from her bad associates. He remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next. PREFERENCE SHARES. Pm SAVAGE ASSIIILTS.—IViIIiam Dyson, aged 47, a lighterman of No. 1, May's-plant, Lime-house, way brought before Mr. Ingham charged with assaulting Mr. William Fox, of No. 2, Oxford-street, Stepney, and James John Bateman, of No. 13, Rutland-street, com mercial travellers. Mr. Fox stated that he was passing along High-street, Shadwell, in company with his friend last evening, and were talking about the state of the weather and the bad ness of trade, when the prisoner run against him or he against the prisoner, who immediately attacked him in a furious manner, and struck bun repeatedly about 01( face, and cut him severely. He was knocked down and kicked, and his nose was injured. Mr. Bateman aid he went to the rescue of his friend, and was instantly assaulted by the prisJner. Mr. Ingham fined the prisoner 153., which he paid. SEAMEN'S WAGES—THE SHIP VIENNA.—Two seamen belonging tothe ship Vienna lying in theriver, again came before Mr. Ingham this morning for his advice. The) bad obtained orders from Mr. Yardley for the payment of 51. each for their services for " a run" from Llanelly to Lindon, but when the orders were served on the captain he produced the ship's articles, from which it appeared that the men had not signed for the " run" t. London, but that the agreement expressed the vogage was to terrainats at a loading port in the north. Tht seamen then complained that they had been detainee here a fortnight, to which the captain repliel that h• was looking for freight. Mr. Ingham said the captain was bound by the agree ment to proceed at once to a loading port in the north, and that if he took in another cargo here he was bound to discharge tha seamen and pay them 51. each. The captain on this said he would sail on the fol lowing day. The seamen now stated that Captain Barton, the master of the Vienna, discharged them yesterday, and would not take them to the north. Mr. Ingham—You were b. fore me on Thursday morning. The seamen—Yes, sir. Mr. Ingham—l told the captain he must either dis charge you here or proceed immediately to the north. The seamen—He has discharged us, and paid Ili 51. each, but he won't pay us for the detention in London. Mr. Ingham—What detention do you mean I The seamen—We have been here a fortnight. Mr. Ingham—l can't help you, indeed. - I think you are very well off. You have been paid 5/. each for th, " rue from Llanelly to London and a fortnight u ha Lon don, and you have not made a very bad bargain. The seamen said it was a hard case upon them, and left the court much disappointed. THE FOREIGN DEBT OF NFN' GRANADA. The committee of Spani,l3 American bcndholdcr., have ru , iislied, ir. anticipation of the meeting to b? ht H on Monday next, a report on the foreign debt of New Gra nada. There is a very voluminous correspondence, and we regret to find that the report will prove anything but satisfactory to the body of bondholders. The committee conclude their statement by the following remarks : "From the foregoing statement it will be observed, with a painful feelng of disappointment, that, notwithstanding the exceedingly btrge and liberal sacrifices made by the bondholders in the year 1845, - to meet the convenience of the Government of New Granada, under the strongest as surances that the punctuality of the Government might be relied upon, the engagements then solemnly concluded have not been respected by the Government of New Granada. " The question may well be asked—Why have these en gagements not been performed ? The answer is --because the Government of New Granada, after having hypothe cated certain branches of its revenue to the discharge of these obligations, has appropriated that revenue to its own uses without regard to that hypothecation. If the ono half of the duties of Customs had been applied to the payment of the interest en the Foreign Debt no arrear thereof would have arisen. The consideration, then, ne cessarily presents itself—whether the bondholders, after submitt"ng to great sacrifices in obtaining anaajustment of this debt in 1845, are to see the conditions on which they made those sacrifices put aside by one of the contracting parties for its own convenience without regard to the in terests of the other ? "It is obvious that such a mode of proceeling cannot be sustained for 'a moment. The Government of New Granada, in several conferences which have passed be tween it and the agents in Bogota since the restoration of tranquillity, appeals to the unfortunate existence of civil war, during a portion of the period in question, as an ex cuse for the non-performance of its eaga , rements ; but, looking to the period of time during which the arrear has accumulated, it does not appear to the committee that times of tranquillity have been much more favourable to the dis charge of these obligations than the absence of them. Her Majesty's Government has on a recent occasion, when a re vclutiori broke out in the Republic of Mexico, caused it to be notified to the Provisional Government that it con sidered the portion of Custom duties of that state which had been assigned to the payment of the interest on the foreign debt as entitled to be respected under all circum stances, when an immediate assurance was given by the Provisional Government that the same should be held in vi(date and punctually remitted to England. The com mittee see no other course to be followed than for the Go vernment of New Granada to direct that a sufficient por tion of tlie customs revenue shall be remitted by every , mail to the agents of the New Grenadian Government in Envland by agents to b 3 appointed by the committee for I that purpose. - " With respect to thtife*baeco revenue, which was also hypothecated to the bendlie!dere, it has ceased altogether to exist, Tilse.CenigkresS — of New Granada first passed a 1 law abeietting, the monopoly of tobacco, declaring the callivarion free, and establishing an export duty thereon to co-nponsate the Government for the loss of revenue sus tained thereby. Subsequently the Congress passed a law abolishing all export duties, thereby annulling this branch of revenue altogether. " The position of the Peruvian bonds held in deposit by the committee will be seen from the correspondence relat ing thereto. After the receipt of the last letter from Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. a deputation from the committee waited upon thos e gentlemen for the purpose of inquiring whether, in the event of the committee handing over the said bonds to them, they were ready to give an undertaking to apply the said bonds to the payment of the arrears of interest on the New Grenadian Debt; in answer to which Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. stated that they could give no undertaing to do otherwise with the said bonds than to bold them, subject to the orders of the Government of New Granada. The deputation then inquired whether, in the event of the said bonds being so handed over, Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. had re eived up to this time any instructions as to the disposal of them ; in answer to which Messrs. Baring Brothers and ' Co. stated that they had not yet received any such instruc tions. Under these circumstances the committee have not felt themselves justified in delivering up the custody of these bonds. " Tho committee cannot but regret that the proceedings If the New Granadian Government in this matter should 1 )o attended with such great delay. The Government has now for a long period ceased to make any remittances to ~ his country for the payment of the interest on this debt, And now, when a fund is forthcoming, out of which a por don of the arrears might be discharged, an indefinite de lay unfortunately arises in the application thereof to its lestined purpose. It will be remarked that this resource is not derived from any payment made by New Granada, :t being simply a repayment by the Republic of Peru to the Republic of New Grenada of a portion of the debt oc casioned by the war of independence, forming, in fact, dart of th• debt which originally constituted the Foreign Debt of Colombia.

Their lordships took their seats this morning shortly after 10 o'clock, accompanied by Mr. Justica Willes, who took the oaths consequent on his elevation to the Bench. His lordship did not audibly repeat the words of the oaths after the clerk, and on coming to the abju ration oath, Lord Campbell, addressing Mr. Justice Willes, said— As the law now staods, it is necessary for the person taking the oath abjuring the right of the descendants of the Pretender to the throne of this country to du so in an audible voice. Mr. Justice Willes—l abjure, my lord, in my mind, though my lips do not appear to do their office. Lord Campbell—l regret very much that the law re quires such a farce to take place. Mr. Justice Willes then repeated that and the other oaths in an audible voice, and then retired. BROWN AND ANOTHER V. ACICROYD. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., said this action was tried at the last York assizes, before Mr. Baron Platt, and was an action for work and labour done and money paid, to which the defendant pleaded he was not indebted. The plaintiffs were proctors at York, and brought this action to recover of the defendant the amount of their bill in curred in taking proceedings against the defendant in the Ecclesiastical Court at the suit of his wife for a divorce. The plaintiffs were retained in the early part of 1354, and instituted the suit to which the defendant appeared by his proctor. Ia the course of the proceed ings it was agreed the defendant should allow his wife 2001. a year alimony, and paid the plaintiffs' costs up to November of that year. After that it was found neces sary to take from the examinations, and the expenses sought to be recovered were chiefly made up of coats attending that examination. The wife died in the Fe bruary following; and the defendant having for some time previous ceased to pay the alimony, said he was not liable for the costs incurred between November and February, and bad refused to pay them. The learned judge who tried the action nonsuited the plaintiffs, on the ground that they had not shown that the circum stances attending the wife's leaving her husband's house was such as would give her a right to pledge her hus band's credit; and a question arose here whether the expenses incurred were in pint of law necessary, and the learned judge nonsuited the plaintiffs, with liberty to move to enter the verdict fur the plaintiffs. The wife being dead he was unable at the trial to produce such strong evidence of the husband's cruelty as be could have done had she been alive. He had to fall back on the best evidence that could be found to prove the fact, and he had shown by the evidence of a medical man that the plaintiff the day before his wife left him threatened to place her in a lunatic asylum because she would not sign a deed of separation, and by the evi dence of the housemaid that he had pushed her out of the room, and said he should be a happy man if he could get rid of her. The learned judge who tried the case remarked on the latter evidence that that was not a suf cient cause for the wife to leave her husband, for there were many families who, no doubt, went on comfortably where such circumstances alight occur. The learned counsel said he contended that that was a question which the learned Judge should have left for the decisioa of the jury. After some other observations bearing on the case, Lord Campbell said the learned counsel might take a rule. his lordship complained of the members of the btr not being instructed in motions, that the Court might proceed with them, and dispose of them, without interfering with the other business of the Court set down for certain days, and had, in consequence, to ad journ the Court at 12 o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, Baron Parke, Baron Alderson, and Baron Martin.) OOLE V. 511ERRARD. Mr. Lush moved for a rule to set aside a writ with costs. The writ was one which was served in Jersey, aud, being so served, was out of the jurisdiction. It was sealed as a concurrent writ, and was dated the 9th of April ; and it further appeared that it was sued out on the 19th of June in the present year, and was therefore dated before the passing of the Common Law Procedure Act had passed. "C r uder these circumstances the learned counsel submitted he was entitled to the rule prayed for. Rule granted. MANN V. THE GEETIA.L STEAM NAVIGATION COMPA.N.Y. Mr. M. Chambers moved for a rule to set aside a verdict in this case, which was tried at Croydon, and which the jury left it open for defendants to apply for a new trial. The action was one brought agd'list the di rectors of the General Steam Navigation Company, in their capacity as common carriers, for the non-delivery of two parcels. The parcels it appeared were taken to the Swan with Two Necks, in Wood•street, Cheapside, the plaoe at which the company received parcels for delivery, and there left to be conveyed to Glasgow, and although they belonged to that class of parcels known as bankers' parcels no intimation of the fact was given to the persons in the office. The parcels were conveyed to Leith by one of the ships cf the company, and on arrival at that place they had to be turned over to the railway company for transmission to Glasgow, and it was supposed that the miscarriage was occasioned in the removal from the steam-ship to the railway. He had two points upon which he grounded his application ; one was the amount of damages given by the jury, and the other was that this was not a loss for which damages might be sued for. The Court—Take a rule to show cause. coußr OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco.) (Before the Lord Chief Justice, ➢lr. Justice Crowder, and Mr. Justice Willes.) M'ANDREW V. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant Byles this morning resumed his argu ment in this case, which was tried by the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, the result being that the plaintiff was non-suited, but with leave to move for a new trial. The circumstances of the -case were that the plaintiff was the owner of a vessel called the Foam, which, in December last, was lying at Exmouth laden with oranges, and that on the 13th of that month he sent a clerk to the telegraph station of the defendants in Lothbury to desire them to transmit a message down to the master of the ship, requesting him to go with her instantly to Hull. The clerk proceeded there, gave correctly the message which his employer wished to have transmitted, an i paid 10s. for that service of the defendants ; but, inadvert ently or otherwise, the message they sent was to direct the ship to proceed to Southampton, instead of Hull. The effect was that the master took his vessel to South ampton, and sold his cargo of oranges there at a great sacrifice, and it was to obtain compensation that this action was brought. The defendants alleged that the message paid for by the plaintiff was what was called an " unrepeated " message—that is, a message which was not repeated back to London, to see if it bad been correctly transmitted, before being delivered, and that they sent all such unrepeated messages on the condition that they would not be responsible for any mistakes in their transmission, from whatever cause such mistakes might arise. The learned sergeant cited various authorities, and contended that the defendants were not at liberty to append any conditions whatever to the mode which they should transact their business. The Chief Justice said the rule must be refused. He considered that the conditions required by the company for securing the accurate transmission of messages were perfectly reasonable. Mr. Justice Crowder and Mr. Justice Wines con curred in the decision of the Chief Justice. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) THAMES. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES IN A WATERPROOFING FAO. TORY.—Fanny Carter, a well-dressed young wo man, who was in a state of great anguish, was brought up on re mand, before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealini: pro-, perty of the value of 61., belonging to her employers Messrs. Spill and Langdon, waterproof clothing manu facturers, of the Old Farm house, Stepney -greed. It appeared from the evidence that the pros ecutors' who own a vast establishment, and employ 3,000 persons, had been plundered to a great extent, although con stables were in attendance on their premises day , and night. On Wednesday morning an old woman rt,amed Hyde, of No. 4, White-hart-Court, Greenfield .street, Whitechapel, offered a new waterproof silk coat i n pawn at the shop of Roche and Hales, pawnbrokers, No. 1, Commercial-road East, and on being asked how she be ' came possessed of it she said she was employed b y a man named Abrahams to pawn it, but did not know where he lived. She afce.r - wards gave several other accounts, and finally stated that she was directed l y the prisoner, Fanny Carter, in the employ of Spill and Langdon, to pawn the coat. The young - woman was taken into custody in the prosecutor's . tactory SOUTHWARK. ROBBING CHILDREN.—Two ill-looking young fellows, named John May and John Jones, were placed at the bar charged with stealing a two-shilling piece from John Percival, a child about five years of age, under the fol lowing circumstances. The father of the child, a respectable mechanic re siding in the Blue Anchor-road, Bermondsey, said that on the previous afternoon he sent him with a two-shil ling piece, wrapped up in 'a cloth to purchase bread at a baker's in the neighbourhood. Finding he was gon longer than usual he went to look after him, and about a hundred yards off he met the child crying bitterly. He asked him what was the matter and where was tilt bread ? when he replied that as ho was going along the road the prisoners came up to him and asked him where he was going to. He told them he was going to fetch some bread for his father. They said where wa. the money ? Ho told them i❑ his hand, when they both took it from him and ran away. The MAgistrato :liked what was the age of the child ? The father replied that he was only five years of age and could not read. The magi,trate said that he wag sorry to say he was too young to give evidence. Was there any older per son ;vho witnessed the occurrence ? The father replied that it was committed in a very lonely place, and the prisoners must have followed the child from the house, As soon as he found out that the child had been robbed he went in search of them, and found them concealed in some new buildings. They were searched, but the money was not found on them. lle begged to infor m his worship that a number of very young children had recently been robbed in a similar manner in the neighbourhood, and he believed the pri soners were the thieves. The magistrate said he was extremely sorry that the child was so young as to be unable to give Lis evidence on oath, consequently he must discharge the prisoners ; but he would caution them as to their future conduct, as the police would keep a sharp look out after them for the future.

Spirit of the. Public Journals. ( From t7:c Times of this day.) We are apt to leek with 'little favour on the foreign system of conscription, and pharisaically to congratulate ourselves that v,e are not as other men are, nor as those who s ize upon a man for the service of his country with out condescending to ask him whether he be willing to enter that service or no. Well, we are entitled to our boast—nay, we shall d 3 wisely to make the most of it, for it is perhaps the only matter in which we can fairty claim superiority for our system. The British soldier has to reflect that whatever neglect he suffers he has in curred in a service into which he has entered by his own frae choice, while the Frenchman may console himself by consi tering how much is done by his country to com pensate the original hardship of forcing him into her service. The portals of promotion are thrown wide open to him, and honour is meted out to the brave and deserving with no niggard or partial hand. In the Moniteur of the let of. November we find eight columns devoted is th 3 confirmation by the Imperial Government of the nominations to the Legion -of Honour conferred by Marshal Pelissier on the 11th of September. In this heroic catalogue no department of the army seems to be overlooked or forgotten. Staff Officers, Military Intendants, Imperial Guard, Imperial Gendarmerie, In fantry, Artillery, Medical Department, Commissariat, —all are remembered, and at any rate no bitter feeling can be excited in any branch of the service by finding its merits totally overlooked. Nor is the list less gene ral and impartial as regards persons than as regards classes. Merit is of no rank, and it is discriminated and rewarded in all. From the lieutenant-colonel to the simple cavalry soldier, captains, lieutenants, trumpeters, farriers, sergeants, cannoniers, corporals, all are to be found in this catalogue of honour, which is read i n France with feelings of pride and exultation among the families of the decorated, of which those used to nothing better than English despatches can form but little idea. What makes this catalogue even more valuable is, that it does not confine itself to a dry list cf names, but recounts in many cases the particular merit for which the reward is granted. Thus, a sergeant in the First Foreign Legion receives the crass for having lost both his hands in pushing away a shell that fell near his captain. A captain in the same corps is de scribed as " always in the post of danger"—another as " wounded in planting the standard on the rampart"—another as "always in front." A corpo ral in the Ist Battalion of Chasseurs " carried away his companions by his example ;" a lieutenant in the same corps was "the first to throw himself on the enemy." A sergeant joined the assault, though scarcely healed of a wound; another, being taken prisoner, and understand. ing a little German, informed the Marshal of the inten tion of the enemy to evacuate the town. Another was severely wounded in disputing with the enemy the body of a fillet] comrade. Another, although wounded, re maine I at the head of his company; another commanded a column of attack on the Malakhoff. These brief sen tences, full of point and vi ;our, must be even more valu able to the soldier than the cross be is henceforth to bear —an attestation of his merits from which malice cannot detract, a memorial fit to be inscribed on his tomb, and to he handed down as a precious heirloom to his descen dants. It is quite manifest that this task of discriminating and rewarding merit is viewed by the French General as second in importance to none of the duties he is called upon to discharge. These crosses were distributed be fore the rains of Sebastopol ha I ceased to smoulder, and the first excitement of the fight bad time to subside. Yet with what care and attention they were bestowed we may learn from the fact that the General has an nexed to so many names brief memorials of their ser vices, the truth of which, if it could be called in ques tion, it Ras in the power of hundreds to dispute and deny. We ought to add, that in this catalogue are in chided not merely the stormers of the Malakboff but those v.ho, with perhaps equal valour but with less good fortune, attacked those netts of the works at which the assault was repulsed. The whole proceeding seems ad mirable, but more especially for the promptitude with which the honour was conferred and the discrimination of merit which made that honour doubly valuable. Let us now turn from the army of our allies to our Own, and inquire what is the reward which our soldiers have received for their share in the operations of this glerions and bloody day. Nobody doubts that there was evinced on the part of many who fell, and of many also who escaped from the slaughter of the Redan, courage and devotion of the very highest order. In that memorable despatch in which General Simpson with his own hand so effectually demolished his own reputation as a commander, he stated that it was his intention to bring to the notice of the Commander-in-Chief those who had distinguished themselves in the assault on the Redan. From that day to this, so far as we have been able to learn, that promise has never been redeemed, and the heroes of the Bth of September remain unnamed and unknown because their General has not thought it pos sible to tell the country the deeds of her true and gallant defenders. But, though the men and officers who fought and bled received nothing, not even the mention of their names in the Gazette, tie?) , were vicariously rewarded. Because their general had left them unsupported in the hour of peril they were rewarded by seeing him raised another step in preferment " for distinguished service in the field ;" and, because many of the regimes to were young and inexperienced, they were rewarded by the distsibution of the baton of Field-Marshal to three oil gentlemen, the youngest of whom might be grandfath , r to every soldic.r in the service. Surely " the c• - )1d shade of aristocracy" has grown colder and deadlier since the days of the Periinsuler War. The gallant army of Wellington was neglected and forgotten,—the array of the Crimea seems to be remembered and slighted. Yet not wholly so. Thcugh no pen, as it seems, except that of a newspaper correspondent, is to record the bravery of our men or the devotion of our officers, something we are to do, but that something as unlike th e manner i n which' the French Govern ment re.vaids meritorious service as possible. A clasp is to be struck bearing the nal/ eof Sebastopol with such device as the advan c ed s t a t e o f t h e art of design in this country may enable us to contrive ; and this clasp, at fixed to the medal for former achievements, will be dis tributed, not merely to the men who mounted the breach and encountered for two dreadful hours the mur derous fire of the Russian infantry, but to those even who were at work at Balaklava,—to every one, in fact, who was within hearing of the guns, whether be took any part in the combat of the day or not. Compare this proceeding with that of the French, and judge whether a reward shared by all alike—by those who shrank from as well as by those who manfully encountered the storm of battle—by the brave and the timid—by those who had, and by those who had not, the opportunity of dis tinguishing themselves—can be for a moment compared with the careful selection and the discriminating praise which have commended the bravest among the brave of the French army to the pride of their friends and the gratitude of their country. Wiil the tardy clasp, doled out to all alike, compensate for the • cross given to the chosen few before the ashes of the city they had stormed had grown cold, even if we throw in with it three octo genarian Field-Marshals and the rank of General, bestowed, as it would seem, principally to mark the fact that its recipient bad proved himself devoid of the faculty of command ? PARENTS v. SCHOOLMASTERS. At Newark County Court, on Saturday, before R. Wildman, Esq., judge, and a jury, an action was tried between the Rev. Herbert Plater, the head-master of the Newark Free Grammar School, plaintiff, and Mr. Stephen Noddall, a respectable tradesman of the town, defendant, for the recovery of damages upon the schoolt, prsmises in Appleton -gate. It created great excitement , and the court was crowded throughout the r triit yn t ee Burnaby appeared for the plaintiff, and Di r. r-i: red to be for the defendant.

The father protested against it, and threatened punish whichever master should punish to the following morning the boy attended school again, and was told that his punislasnent would be one hour's detention per day after school hours for a fortnight, and that he would have been caned but for his father being most to blame. He was accordingly kept on that day and Mr. Nodd a ll remonstrated by letter, adding that If he was kept again he should fetch him away. On Mon. day the punishment was repeated, and the defendat t' went to the school, and the yard-door being locked, he gamed admission through the head-master's house into the school-yard, and finding the door locked and no one answering he forced it open and took his boy away. On the following morning he was sent to wheel again, when NI L Plater called him to the desk, and told him in the t presence of the other scholars to go home.
