MORNING SUN SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TEE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—One thing is certain with respect to the most contested point of the Queen's Speech ; and that is, that how ever taunted Sir Robert Peel may have been for the (what we think salutary) delay which he resolutely interposed in making any declaration of his intentions, he now amply compensates by the promptitude with which he is disposed to proceed. He is ready with his finances ; "he does not even intend to post. pone the announcement of the budget to that period of the year at which it is usually brought forward :" and the corn question, the great and important corn question, is announced for Wed nesday next. The departure of the Duke of Buckingham from the Administration, of which he had just become a Member, is as yet tke only outward sign from which we can judge —a sign which, though it betokens im portaet modifications in the sliding scale, gives n o reason to suppose that the G over nment are prepar e d to withdraw the ir ex p resse d d e t erm i na ti on to support . If that were a resolution that were to continue for ever, as mortals t speak, or even for a long time, we should be sorry for it: But Sir Sir Robert Peel is an enemy, and so are all p states men, to harsh changes ; and he may perhaps consider that a recurrence ftom a variable scale of the most complicated cha racter, perplexing alike both venders and purchasers, to a simple and single calculation of so much per quarter, would be like taking horses out of the most confining and stringent har ness, ' and letting them run with a single rein and snaffle-bit. That he will simplify the present scale, however, we entertain no doubt. There will neither be so many variations of duty, nor so many positions assumed at which a fresh duty is to apply But what, we would beg to ask, will be th e resu l t . of all this simplification? It may probably be beneficial when compared with the present complicated Act. It Ir. may , we hope, also prevent corn from being kept back till the market can be flooded by a certain influx at a very low duty ; but still, such a simplification is obviously neither more nor less than an approximation to the fixed duty. And that, we should suspect, will be the final result —not this year, nor the next, perhaps, but still the final result—of all legislation upon the ad mission of foreign corn. If we come to it gradually, it may occasion less shock in the market ; but come to it, we verily believe, we shall. In fact, what was the ground of our opposi tion to the late Ministry upon this point ? Not that they ad vocated a fixed duty; but that, in truth, finding themselves beaten in an important election, they tossed up the whole finan ces of the country, simply with a view to create mischief and confusion. Then did they blazon, also, with merely injurious clamour, their notion—never till then entertained—of a fixed duty. Had they never been defeated in the Not tingham election, and had they never, in consequence, found themselves in a minority of the House of Commons, we should have heard no more of a fixed duty from them, than of a fresh edition of the Koran or Talmud. They than took a useful measure, which till then they had never contemplated—made it the subject of a popular outcry—and now mean to avail themselves of it against the more cautious, perhaps timid, procedure of their political adversary. This is the history of the moveable scale and the fixed duty, as evinced in the conduct of the two parties: the one does not proceed so far, perhaps, as he might ; the other embraces the popular and useful act, but only as a pretext— only to blacken and defame his adversary. The one proposes what he can carry, in order to carry it : the other proposes what he cannot carry, in order to make a dust, and set two interests by the ears. However, therefore, we may approve, and however we may continue to advocate, a fixed duty, we feel we are in no degree approximating to those who are crying it up to excite clamdur, and to raise an opposition to their politi cal opponents ,—a suicidal opposition, since by those opponents a more real approach to their own measure will probably be made in three months, than has been, or is likely to be, by themselves in ten years. ADVERTISER.—The position assumed by her Majesty's Government serves to prove that the several matters of policy now pending, rest exclusively between the people and the agri cultural monopolists; consequently that the Whig faction, or middle region of opinion between right and wrong, is extinct; and that the political struggle now in progress is strictly be tween the two extremes—of commercial and general freedom, and feudal and universal despotism. The people have reason to acknowledge a consciousness of their power even in the mere allusion to the Corn-laws in the Royal Speech. How comes it that a Tory Cabinet barely refers to their modification ? But last Session, in the months of Tories, ay, and of Whigs too, those laws were perfection. Ilow is it the Tamworth Baronet appoints the ensuing Wednesday to introduce a motion concerning them in the Commons? Is it from his own benig nity to the cause of the people ? Folly. But let the answer be broad and plain enough—it is—THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE ! ! Here, then, is the country in a proud attitude. It is not only exacting, but enforcing justice from its head opponents. It is from the Tories—a very Government composed of Tories—it is wringing acknowledgment of its ma nufacturing distress, and accomplishing, a Reform of the Corn laws ! But to refer to the subject merely as the exultation of comparati:e ascendency, were beneath and short of the popular sentiment and exigencies. The utility in adverting to it is to show how completely, on the exercise of that power, hangs the country's security. To parallel the present immi nency of the national interests were impossible in the annals of this kingdom's history. The balance is so critical, that either all shall be with, or all against the popular cause. Of an approach to a medium condition there is now not even the pretence. Either Conservatism shall yield in its intimidation to the wants of the country, or popular exigencies, in the pu sillanimity of their advocates, tremble on the brink of lasting overthrow. In itself nothing were more ignominious than the position of the existing Cabinet. The very measures to which its members are on the eve of giving assent, are the identical grounds on which they founded their opposition to the Government of their predecessors. The very slightest concession on the Corn-laws they ran corously opposed up to the last second of the Melbourne Ad ministration ; and now, forsooth, "the Corn-laws are to be altered," even as the Tory organ expresses it, " the earliest possible day has been fixed fir the development of the Govern ment measure for the alteration of the Corn-laws, so that this absorbing quelion will be settled without loss of time." Of all bitter commentaries on the principles of the men new in office, none we are aware of ever exceeded this. But to point it out, to enable the people to judge how much of real concern towards their condition is comprised in the tactics of their Conservative rulers, is the object in our exposing, and the goal at which we leave it. For, unless to that effect, it is with the acts, not the motives, of Sir It. Peel and his colleagues, as a party, in the country. we have to do. The measures which, out of the extremii y 01 terror, may be dragged from them, a e shall support if really of beneficial tendency to the nation. We shall look purely to the measures, and forget the men. We shall remember that to bring into operation plans of essen tial benefit to the kingdom, will be to overthrow even the per nicious influences of Conservatism; and, encouraged by this recollection, we shall consequently ever be at the post to sign enactments of worth with our approval. As to the counte nance or condemnation of their regularly quashed quondam nvals the Whigs, it must form a topic they will scarcely, we should think, be at much trouble of inquiring into. The advo eacy of good measures, by that blighted faction, unfortunately, to ensure for their opinions now any respect, come too late. As we have observed, the partisans in the country at the existing crisis arc two—the people and their enemies. Those who had not formerly sided with the Whigs are the men now the most probable to be of assistance to the popular sense. And for ourselves, we are of the opinion of Lord Brougham, when he said that " the best thing to be done with the Corn-laws was to repeal them-- gradual, indeed, in progress, but t o t a l i n result . ' This posi tion is clearly also our own; and, when it is considered that, as the country has swayed the power of' forcing a Tory Cabinet down to the Lower House, with propositions affecting those very feudal tenures described but so few months back as unap proaehible to any forms of mutation, it may be owned it would be derogatory and abject, indeed, to suppose that the same om nipotence were not still capable of being exercised to an exten sion of the same essential and salutary purpose. At all events, one observation strikes intuitively, to the effect of Sir Robert's Government being founded on the principle of confederacy, whether, like Mr. Fox, in justification of the anom a l ous posi tion he himself stepped into with Lord North, Sir Robert, too, had not wisely be on t. e same side in exclaiming, " Ought we not, then, to confederate with him who can give us the greatest strength ?" GLOBE - --The Bar, and other persons assembled at the Criminal Court, were on Thursday evening considerably surprised, on the Grand Jury- entering the Court with the bills with which they had closed their duties, to hear the Clerk of the Arraigns an nounce that among them was " a true bill against Alexander Baring, now Lord Ashburton, Francis Bar ing, and llumfrey Mildmay, for conspiracy." It is un derstood that the indictment charges the defendants with - a conspiracy to bribe certain members of the Legislature of Mexico to pass a Bill to prevent fo reigners from holding land within that State ; and that the motive which induced the defendants thus to interpose, was to deprive th e prosecutor, one Samuel Moore, of the advantages of a contract en tered into between him and the defendants. The Recorder intimated—and we concur in the opinion he expressed—that the Court had no jurisdiction. W e are:; :far from assuming that there exists any, the slightest, tenable grounds for this indictment, „.. thus preferred. The previous high and perfectly un sullie!freputatiorrof the parties, charged, will preserve them !in the. estimation of all acquainted with their character, -individually and collectively, from any injury to- their fair fame by this charge. We know- the facilities afforded' by the law to the vindiaii'eneSS of revengeful natures, which, foiled in tfleir ',attempts to accompli s h f avour it e ob jects by supposed .or actual, but perfectly jus tifiable : interposition, or hoping to extort from. fear vv!hatthey have failed to obtain by entreaty, go before a Grand Jury with a Bill alleging 'some high misdemeanor, supply , the prima facie testimony on which the grand. jurors, strangers to the character, ignorant of the motives of the prosecutor, and altogeth er unacquainted with the circumstances f the case, ex cept so far as they are revealed by the technical ver bosity of an indictment, the dimensions of which are frequently expressed in " yards," return a " true bill." The testimony is ex parte, taken in a chamber hermetically sealed against intruders • and, without the necessity of the parti es c h arge d being aware of even the movement against them—the bill is returned in Court as " found." Malignity is thus gratified, or cupidity supplied with materials with which to carry out its corrupt designs —supposing the pro secutor to be actuated by malicious or base de signs against the person or the purse of the party he seeks to implicate. In the former case, without moving an another step, and without rendering him self responsibl e to any crimin - dj jurisdiction for the perjuries by which he has imposed on the Grand Jury, whom the law binds by an oath of secrecy as to what passes before them in t'heir chamber, the injury is inflicteThe don th e reputation and feelings of th e inno cent. party may be taken into custody on a Bench-warrant, founded oa an indictment thus ob tained—be kept in confinement twenty-four hours, i n order, to afford tim e for the prosecutor to in quire into the validity of the sureties tendered by the defendant in compliance with the terms of bail im posed by the Court, and interminably longer, if h e b e unable to procure such sureties. d when he has done all this, and is prepared, at great expense and with much anxiety, to repel the charge under the in jurious effects of which he may hav e su f fer e d for months—the indict nent is never brought down for trial, nor the prose _litor ever afterwards so m uc h as heard of. The wratch has gratified his malevolence to the extent to which he dared to proceed, or he has • _ failed to effect his purpJse by extorting money to drop the ?rosecution. g KANDARD.—The interv a l since the termination the the_second Sc::,ic ii o f 1341 lia.s been employed by ° i cqu ' a al 4 of the IThig-Racliciil party in complaints of Sir Robert Peel's want of feeling fe p e as lin a g w fo i r th t o h a e t p p u r b o l po ic adinisg tress, in allowing a the months of October andsom e N le o g v is e l m at b i: r e , rem in e d d e y ed ; such complaints excluded almost every other topicT The oro Premier was,mthecolum however,nsofthe journals in question. obstinate in preparing carefully his plan of cure or palliation, before presenting it, and fixed the meeting of Parliament for the usual time. Parlia ment has at length assembled—the Ministerial plan is announced as mature and ready, and the Whig-Radicals in Parliament prove the sincerity of their so lately expressed impatience by soliciting a delay of- the time in which it shall be considered; some of them even seek to obstruct that consi deration by introducing other subjects. Meanwhile Ministers lose no time -in bringing forward such I auxiliary measures for the benefit of the labouring classes as they can bring forward. Witness the two most important Bills introduced with universal approbation by Lord Stanley last night. The terms applied by Sir Robert Peel to the subject of his proposed plans in commerce and finance have furnished the Opposition journals with occasion of much speculation—speculation which we imagine proceeds upon erroneous grounds. The Right Hon ourable Baronet spoke of the awful subjects to which he must direct the attention of Parliament— and awful subjects an embarrassed commerce and a deficient revenue must be always esteemed ; but it does not follow that either is necessarily to be met by an awful remedy, and it is to "the expected remedy that the Opposition journals appropriate the term. It may be, and we think it is, an unwise policy on the part of any Government to involve its designs in needless mystery. Generally speaking, the people are cheated out of their right deliberately to canvass all measures proposed for their government, when the Legislature is called upon, as in the case of the Reform Bill, to adopt, ex tempore, an unexpected law. Measures of finance and measures other wise affecting commerce, however, present an excepted case. 'With respect to them, any pre vious notification must furnish a temptation to ruinous gambling, and the less perfect and authentic the notification the greater the extent of the mis chief, because the greater the uncertainty. Would the forms of our free Constitution permit, it would be desirable that the proposition of such measures should be simultaneous with their rejection or adop tion ; but this cannot be the case while we call our selves freemen. The strict secrecy with which the Ministerial plan has been guarded is proof of the care of the Government ; and the obvious motive for it must surely satisfy all, that no slight was intended to any class by the omission to consult it. COURIER.—We read, in " Caesar's Commen taries," that the Nervii, when defeated in battle, were accustomed to stand upon the bodies of their slaughtered brethren, in order to hurl their darts with greater precision into the ranks of the enemy. We should imagine that the partisans of the late Govern ment have taken a lesson from the wild warriors of ancient times, for they avail themselves of each fresh loss of political existence which occurs among their friends to vent their bitterness against their political opponents. Instead of marching with reversed arms, and drooping colours, they raise the shout of defiance, and leave the dead to shift for themselves. Thus, when the amiable Lord llowick was defeated in Nor thumberland, and the poetical Lord Morpeth ex perienced the same fate in Yorkshire, the sufferings of these two patriots who " Left their counties for their countries good," were totally overlooked, in the anxiety of their quondam allies to turn their defeats to some account, by urging upon the disciples of free trade the neces sity of vigorous and decisive measures to coun teract the: selfishness of the landed aristo cracy, and the love of class legislation, which had driven from their strongholds two such wholesale • legislators as the above-mentioned noble men. And now, when poor Lord Morpeth has expe rienced a second sad defeat at Dublin, instead of shed ding tears of sympathy for his melancholy fate, and sweetening the bitter draught by some drops of affec tion, they profit by his misfortunes to attack the pre sent Government with increased violence. To them the loss of the election is an evidence, not that the sun of Whig glory has set—not that the nation is unanimously convinced that the specifics and nos trums of the former Administration were wholly des titute of virtue, fit only for quacks and charlatans — but an evidence that the franchise must be imme diately extended, and the conduct of Lord de Grey in permitting one of his household to appear in the streets while the election was proceeding, and in in viting Mr. Gregory to dinner, be made a subject of Parliamentary inquiry : that on the whole their tem porary defeat (for they promise themselves to turn out Mr. Gregory on petition) is rather a source of congratulation than condolence, as it will ensure the future unity of their party, and lead to systems of or ganization which must hereafter be attended with success. MONEY MARKET und CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The immediate improvement in the value of the Funded Debt proceeds upon the belief that the modifi • cations to be proposed by Sir Robert Peel, both in the Corn laws and in the tariff of imports, will be of a comprehensive and vigorous character, sufficient to settle the question, bold enough to relieve the prevailing distress, and to restore manu facturing prosperity. These views will prove short-lived and falacious if the Ministerial measure in regard to corn stop short of a moderate fixed duty. The Money Market can never be free from periodical convulsions and panics, while the impor tation of the necessary supplies of food from abroad are sub jected to the anti-commercial action of a fluctuating duty, based upon average prices. The curiency of the country has never regained its soundness since it was thrown into derangement by the sudden drain of gold in the spring of the year 1839, after the bad harvest of 1838. A succession of bad harvests since that time has caused a succession of specie drains to pay for foreign corn, and the circulation of the country has been i n consequence disturbed from that period to the present. This ruinous state of things must necessarily occur again at the approach of the first de ficient harvest, unless we can previously establish a regular trade between the raw produce of the land in foreign countries in exchange for the manufactured goods of this country. Until that change be obtained the price of the food which we must import annually, will carry oft a large amount of specie from this country, and to keep the exchanges healthy, prices must be kept at a very low figure, to tempt the sellers of foreign corn to become buyers in our markets. There can be no " trade" in foreign corn under a sliding scale. Some benefit may be obtained from clipping out the worst features of the present scale when the averages mount to 68s. and 703., but while a sliding scale exists at all, anything in the shape of a fair trade in foreign corn in exchange for articles of British manufacture can never take place. EMBARKATION OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA. WOOLWICH, FEB: 4.—At an early hour this morning the garrison and town of Woolwich presented an animated scene, owing to the preparations in progress for the reception of the King of Prtissia and Prince Albert. Ai twenty minutes past ten the carriage containing the King, the Prince, and Duke Ferdinand of S a x e C o b ourg , was observed approaching, and the signal being given, the Royal standard was hoisted on the flag-staff, and a Royal salute an nounced the arrival of the Royal party, who immediately alighted and were introduced to several of the officers. The exercises of the troops immediately commenced by the Royal Horse Artillery and Field Batteries marching past at slow and quick time, and tiring ; but owing to the softness of the ground, or more probably owing to an evident anxiety in the countenance of the King of Prussia to embark, the troops did not gallop past, or fire so many rounds as on former occa sions. The Royal Horse Artillery, however, unlimbered their guns, and his Majesty went up to them while they sat upon the wheels, and remained with apparent satisfaction to witness the guns remounted in an incredibly s h or t space o f t i me. Th , tt,,eal Horse Artillery were immediately afterwards ordered borne, and the field batteries to proceed to the marshes. His Majesty the King of Prussia was by this time joined by Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, who walked on one side, and the Duke of Cambridge on the other, across the common and through the south-west gate to the Repository, and during the progress of the Royal and distinguished visitors, the immense concourse of spectators who had assembled had excellent opportunities of witnessing the King of Prussia and Prince Albert, and the grand and brilliant staff present in ho nour of the omission. The crowd following in the direction of the marshes on this occasion was most immense, and one so nume rous ha se ld om been witnessed at Woolwici. Indeed, the attempts of the police to prevent the people front entering at the marsh-gate only in duced them to break through the hedg es , an d many most ludi crous scenes were witnen. of torn coats amongst the gentle men, and the women caught in the hedges by their veils and bonnets, or where their dresses were of slight texture. None of these obstacles, however, deterred the people from pushing forward, and they entered in masses in ddfiance of hedges, banks, and ditches;_and the police. At the time of the firing of the rockets, the only practice carried on, there could not have been less than bO,OOO persons in the marshes and adjoin ing fields. At two o'clock the King of Prussia entered the East gate of the Royal Arsenal, and within less than a quarter of an hour a Royal salute ar nounced that he had embarked in the Firebrand steam-vessel, which had dropped down to the West wharf of the Royal Arsenal to receive him. Prince Albert and his suite left Woolwich about three o'clock, escorted by the Life Guards, for Buckingham Palace. EMIGRATION SCHEME. BRADFORD, WILTS, FEB. 4.—Pursuant to a requisition to the churchwardens, who acceeded to the request, a public meeting of the ratepayers and owners of this parish was held this day at the vestry, to take into consideration the propriety of granting money from the poor-rafes for the purpose of emigration. The meeting was so numerously attended that an adjournment took place to the churchyard, where the Rev. 11. Hervey, the Vicar, being called to the Chair, the proceed. ings commenced by the Chairman stating the object : it was then movt dby Mr. Merrick, and seconded by Mr. Edwards; that the sum of 1,0001. be granted for the purpose of emigre tion, to be raised by a mortgage on the poor -rates. An amendment was proposed by Mr. J. R. Jones, and seconded by Mr. A. Wilkins, " That large sums of money hay- - ing been already raised by mortgage on the poor-rates, and to carry out the New Poor-law Act; and it having failed in re ducing the number of paupers, but produced greater misery. and want, this meeting is decidedly aj.ainst any further grant, particularly for the purpose of emigration." On the question being put but few hands were held up for the original motion, whilst for the amendment hundreds were raised. Another motion, proposed by_Mr. Edwards, that 5001. should be granted, was negatived in a similar manner. After thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. In reference to this subject, our Correspondent makes the following remarks :—" The town had been in a state of great excitement until the matter was taken in hand by a few well known Reformers, when the result is as I have stated. The fact i s we had strong suspicions that this place was selected to try one of the Government's first schemes of emigration on ; and if it had succeeded here, no doubt other places would ha ve been tried." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 5. THE QUEEN V. CHATMAN AND OTHERS.-JUDGMENT. On the Attorney-General entering the Court, Lord DErfADI proceeded to give judgment in the above case, in which an application had been made, on the part of Mr. Grove, the Magistrate of the Greenwich Police-court, against the editor, printer, and proprietors of the Sunday Times newspaper, for tie publication of a libel reflecting on his character. The Court had considered the affidavits filed in this case with the most anxious attention, and had come to the opinion that the rule ought not to be made absolute, but must be discharged on payment of costs. The Court was fully sensible of the great injustice which was done to Magistrates by the making severe and unjust remarks on their conduct in the execution of the extremely delicate and unpleasant duties that frequently devolved upon them, and highly disapproved of the placarding the walls with these attacks on a Sunday, a day on which, more than any other, they would be likely to attract public attention, as they would be seen by so many more persons than on any other day; but still no Magistrate was entitled to a rule for a criminal information, who could not show that he had, in the execution of his duty, acted with proper caution and temper. He was sorry to say that, in the present instance, the Magistrate appeared to have acted with some degree of harshness in the execution of the warrant of ejectment, more particularly in his conduct to the medical man,who, itappeared, was a disinterested person, who had come forward to hive evidence, to which he should have thought a Magistrate would have been glad to listen. Under all tho circumstances of the ca , e, the Court was of opinion that the rule must be discharged. The ATTORNEY.GENERAL—Do I understand your Lord ship to say that the rule is to be discharged on payment of costs ; otherwise to be made absolute ? Lord DENMAN—Yes. The rule to be discharged on pay ment of costs, otherwise the rule to be absolute. BAIL COURT, Feb. 5. BOLCOTT V. WOODAM. This was an action for goods sold and delivered to the amount of 281. by the plaintiff, to which the defendant pleaded non-de livery of the goods and payment. The plaintiff, who is a timber-merchant, having received an order of the 15th Sept., 18.39, fur 100 pine deals from the de fendant, who is a timber-dealer residing in Holborn, sent them by a town carman of the name of Clements. This person, having said he lost the order . of the 18th übsequently received a second 100 of s pine deals from Mr. Sept.,Bolcott. Both lots of pine were taken from the Hindostan vessel, and it was not till the vessel was cleared out, and the clerk of Mr. Bolcott had made up the accounts, that he found a mistake had oc curred to the amount of 100 deals, and finding, from the en tries, that 200 had been given to Clements, and that payment had been made for only 100, the plaintiff concluded that the defendant was the person with whom the mistake occurred. Mr. Bolcott's clerk called in consequence upon the defendant to arrange the matter, which he refused to do. Evidence on the part of the plaintiff was produced in support of these facts, which Mr. Thesiger, who appeared for the de fendant, finding to be at variance with i his instructions and those of his attorney, both of whom it took by surprise, de clared that he felt it his duty not to prosecute the case any fur ther, and a verdict was accordingly entered for the plaintiff. Messrs. James and Chambers were counsel for the plaintiff. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1842 COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. b. STUART V. STEELS. Mr. IlicHAans resumed his argument in the application for a new trial in this case, and was followed by Mr. Was.waxwat on the same side, - after which the further bearing was adjourned to Wednesday, 16th inst. The Court at Nisi Prius was occupied the whole day with an action on a bond for the sale of a medical practice. It was not of the slightest public interest, the whole question being as to the actual ♦alue of the business. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 5. BRISDOW V. NEEDHAM. This was an action brought for the recovery of the sum of 25,0001., money lent by plaintiff to the defendant. Mr. WHITEHURST opened the pleadings for the plain tiff in this case. The plaintiff was a gentleman of for tune, residing in Norfolk, married to a sister of the de fendant, who was a son of the lame Earl of Kilmorey, an Irish Peer. Under the will of the Earl, his son, the pre sent defendant, was vested in a life interest in a sum of 25,0001., of which the plaintiff was appointed executor. The defendant, who was a Colonel in the army, becom ing embarrassed in his circumstances, raised, a loan of 10,0001. from the Legal and Clerical Insurance Com pany, and some further sums from Colonel Fremantle, Mr. Allcock, and others, amounting altogether, with th e interest, to 22,0001. The defendant being anxious to pay off these debts, for which he had g i ven a mortgage on certain houses, his property, in Jermyn-street, applied to the plaintiff for permission to sell out the stock of of which he was the executor, for the purpose of enabling him to liquidate the claims of his creditors. The plain tiff at first refused to grant this request, but at length acceded to it, on condition of receiving a mortgage on the property of the plaintiff, to guarantee him from the responsibility imposed upon him as the executor of the stock. The plaintiff accordingly allowed tJe defendant to sell out 22,000/. worth of stock ; but would not grant a similar permission for the remaining 3,0001. The de fendant thereupon refused to grant the mortgage which he had promised, and the plaintiff, in consequence, brought the present action to recover the amount of the money lent. Mr. BRAMWELL contended, for the defendant, that the plaintiff was not entitled to a verdict ; first, because the amount of the debt varied from the amount claimed in the specification ' • and, secondly, becau se the plaintiff had the option of either paying the money or delivering up the mortgage. Lord ABINGER overruled the objections. The defend ant had refused to deliver up the mortgage, and the plaintiff was entitled to claim the money lent. A verdict was then found for the plaintiff for the sum of 22,300/., less a sum of 750/., the amount of a set- 1 off claimed on another action. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 5. IN RE .7. E. CARE'. This case was again brought on this morning, and the whole of the examination having been concluded on the previous hearing of the case, Mr. - PLATT said he had the honour to appear before the Court that day on behalf of the executors of the late Earl of Egremont, who had felt it to be their duty to appear before that Court upon the application of Mr. Carew for his discharge, for the purpose of rectifying his schedule. It would seem that Mr. Carew, somewhere about the year 1823, being at that time an as sistant to Sir R. Westmacott, had attracted the attention of the Earl of Egremont, who was desirous of befriending him. It would seem that in consequence of this he changed his resi dence a few years afterwards to Brighton, and that from time to time he performed works either at Brighton, in London, or at Petworth, for the Noble Earl, and he (Mr. Carew) was en gaged upon some of these works in art at the decease of the Earl. During the whole of that time it was quite impossible to conceive that Mr. Carew did not from time to time receive mo nies from the Noble Earl. But it seemed that upon the occasion of the decease of the testator, Mr. Carew had conceived notions that some provision would have been made for him, and in con sequence of which disappointment was created in his mind, It would seem that at that time he (Mr. Carew) was in peculiar difficulty, and indeed it was difficult, in adverting to the evi dence already before the Court, to find any period of time in which Mr. Carew did not appear to have been in such difficul ties, because, at no time, it would seem, that he was possessed of any property not incumbered with a mortgage. It would seem throughout, from the beginning, that he was a man not in very affluent circumstances , and, therefore, not very likely to expend his time without remuneration. It seemed that after the death of the Earl of Egremont, Mr. Carew saw General Wyndham, one of the sans of the late Earl, and in consequence of what took place between them a le ter was addressed to Col. Geo. Wyndham respecting the house at Petworth. The:Learned Counsel then read several letters, which had been addressed by Mr. Carew to General Wyndham, relative to the transactions which took place between the late Earl and 31r. Carew, and also several letters relative to the various accounts sent in to the executors since the death of the 'Earl. Afier which he proceeded to comment upon the different items—the bill of particulars, as furnished by 'Mr. Carew to the executors, and contended that the statue of Mr. Huskisson, which it was alleged had been executed by the order orthe Earl of Egremont, was a private speculation of Mr. Carew's, and that he relied for payment upon the result of public sub cription, and his Lordship was no further concerned in the matter than at a person upon whose judgment thole subscribers were likely to rely. The Learned Gentleman then commented on the facts es d&- tailed in the evidence, when Mr. CooKE then addressed the Court on behalf of the in solvent, when The Learned CHIBF COMMISSIONER said the facts of the case were so complicated as to preclude him eying judgment at present, and therefore it should be deferred until the return of his Learned Colleague from circuit, which he (the Learned Commissioner) thought would be about Monday week. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.

He went up and asked Hodsell what he was stopping for; the prisoner made no reply, and went on with the cart. Streeter soon after came out of the house with a bundle in his hand, which on being opened proved to contain a piece of beef, which the prosecutor identified as his property.

NEW COURT. Thomas Hill, a marine store dealer, was charged with felo niously receiving, on the 21st of January last, 561bs. of lead, value 93... the property of the Guardians of the Poor of the Barnet Union. Mr. HOWARTH, who conducted the prosecution, having de.. scribed the position of the lead which was stolen from the roof of the Barnet workhouse , and afterwards found i n th e posses sion of the prisoner, proceeded to state the facts of the case, which were briefly these. The lead having been missed from the roof of the workhouse, the parish authorities caused the prisoner's cart to be searched a s it was cross i ng Finchley-common on the 21st of January. Previous to the search, the police-officers asked the prisoner what he had in his cart ; the prisoner answered " iron," and upon being asked if he had anything else, he replied "nothing." The officers then searched the cart, and found a quantity of iron, and 240 lb. of lead in a bag. The Learned Counsel was pro ceeding with the case when he was stopped by The CoasasoN SERGEANT, who said he was afraid the Learned Counsel could not sustain the indictment. If the pri soner had been indicted as a thief, he should have instructed the Jury that the probability was, (the lead having been found in the prisoner's possession so short a time after it had been missed) that the prisoner had stolen it; but he could not as sume that the prisoner had received it. The COMMON SERGEANT then instructed the Jury accord ingly, and they returned a verdict of Not Guilty. E XTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SHOP MAN.— J o h n Richard, aged 31, who was described in the cal en d ar as a d raper, an d Mary Welsford, aged 19, who was d escr ib ed as a " spinster, " were indicted, the former with stealing at different times 4. 1 ,4 yards of kerseymere and other articles, the property of John Hopkins and others, his masters; and the latter with felo "niously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. The male prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner Welsford. The Learned Counsel, in opening the case, stated the pri soner le r large of Me ssrs . H op ki ns an d C o., and 62, High- s t ree t, Sh ore dit c h, t o have drapers of in 60, the as walker, or foreman, at a salary of 601. a y ear , which saws tien he had held only one month pr ev i ous to hi s appre h ens i on. He then called 61, employ Wm. Carpenter, a pawnbroker, who produced a piece of broad-cloth and 19 handkerchiefs, which had been pawned at witness's shop, by the female prisoner, on Jan. 14th and 18th. Police Sergeant Day examined—Having received intima tion of the robbery from Mr. Hopkins he went to the lodgings of the female prisoner, Tarling.street, St. George's-in-the-East. and knocked at the door, when the prisoner said " Come in." Witness entered, and the prisoner said, " Oh ! I thought it was Rickard; have you seen him lately ?" Witness answered that he had come about some handkerchiefs which had been pawned at the shop of Mr. Carpenter. Prisoner exclaimed, "Dear me, I hope Rickard has done nothing wrong, he gave me the handkerchiefs, and I pledged them !" Witness then searched the room and found the following property, viz.— four veils, a piece of Irish linen, a piece of French cambric, twelve cambric handkerchiefs, three pairs of gloves, two table cloths, two collars, another lot of cambric handkerchiefs, some marked " Rickard," and others " Welsford," a red merino shawl, six duplicates, &e., &c. W itness then took the pri soner into custody, and went to Messrs. Hopkins' shop, where he found Rickard, who, on being accused of the robbery, burst into tears, and begged forgiveness of his master. Witness then took him into custody. Harriet Kepple, who kept the house No. 11, Tarling-street. was next called. She proved the visits of the male prisoner at the house • she thought he was in lo ve w ith th e f ema l e pri soner, and that a marriage was contemplaled. The young woman had conducted herself in a perfectly honest way as far as witness knew, during the time she had lived in her house. Several other witnesses were called, who cet roborated the main points of the evidence. Mr. BALLAienws then addressed the Jury in a lengthened speech, displaying considerable talent, in behalf of the prisoner Welsford, contending that she had received the property not with a guilty knowledge, but with the idea that it had been honestly obtained by Rickard. The Costmox SERGEANT then briefly summed up. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty against Mary Welsford. The Comm); SERGEANT then sentenced John Rickard, on his own plea of guilty, to be transported beyond sea for the term of seren years. selve4 in terms of heartfelt gratitude, then bowed and rAired. • WOOLWICH. Three dashing young gentlemen were placed in the dock, charged with committing a robbery at the Bell Tavern, Bell Water-gate, Woolwich. - The case excited the greatest interest, from the nature of the evidence ad duced. The prisoners' names were Lees, Hurry, and Thompson ; the latter had loSt his hat, which was not to be found. A police constable of the L division (31), being sworn, deposed that he was standing at the door of the house in question, when he went up stairs. to look for a brother constable, who, be thought, was in the house. On the landing-place he saw a door on the left open, and he looked in, but discovered it was a bed-room. Lees, one of the prisoners, looked in, and Thompson was there, and another, not in custody. Thinking something suspicions, he went doWn and informed the landlord, and he remained below ; in a few minutes after he heard the cry of " Thieves," and a scuffle. Lees came clown and hastily left the house. He fol lowed him about two hundred yards, when he saw him join Hurry. He then called some brother con stables, and took theminto custody. On searching them at the station-house Thompson had a silver watch, and a door key. penknife, some sovereigns, and silver. He told the sum in the purse before:he opened it. On Lees was found a sold watch, gold guard, penknife, three sovereigns, &e. On Hurry a, watch, guard, two sove reigns and a half, some silver, &c. He had seen them previously together in a road leading to 'Woolwich common. Did not see Hurry near the house in question. Mr. GROVE could not see what business the constable had to take them. They all had watches, and wore them in the fashionable style round their necks. They had not, with the exception of Thompson, been seen near the house. Mr. Burch, the landlord, wished to be heard, and I stated that on the police constable informing him of the circumstance, he went up stairs, and saw the prisoner, Thompson, coming out of his bed-room. He called out "Murder ! thieves !" He then saw another run out. He found his bed-room had been ransacked, the bed and and bedding taken off the bedstead. Under the mattrass he had some silver spoons concealed, which he bought about thirty-five years ago from Mr. Webber, a silver smith, of Powis-street. They had been removed from there. The lock of the door had been picked, and he had not time to see what he had lost. There was a bag with a quantity of silver, three watches gone, &c. He distinctly heard something heavy fall by the side of Thompson, when he was running down stairs. Mr. George Sutherland stated he was in the house at the time, when he heard a cry of "Murder," &c. He saw Thompson run clown without a hat, and he then .saw the spoons fall from his person, and he held him fast till taken into custody by a police constable. Did not see the other prisoners there. William Romayne, a police constable, deposed to tak ing the prisoner, who said nothing but that he had made a mistake in the room. Lees had come down. and gone away; another constable followed him. Benjamin Portman said he heard something fall. He ran up stairs, when he met Thompson,-who gave him a violent blow on the nose. The constable 31 L said, if they were remanded, no doubt, from their description, which answered exactly, he could prove plenty of similar cases against them. He had seen them often in bad company, thieves, &c., and watched them during the day. • Mr. GROVE -It is a very clear case against Thompson, but the others he - saw no pretence for taking into cus tody, nor had the officer any right to do so; they might be the associates of pickpockets, but that was no reason, as they were not near the house in question. Hurry was discharged. Mr. Hurry then said he Was, a farmer residi ng i n a Sudbury ; he ca m e to tow n f or few weeks, and took lodgings in Montague-place, RUsSell-square; his father was a County Magistrate, living in Suffblk, and h e cou ld Th bringe most respectable witnesses as to his character; he came down .to see the. review, "and not one of the others did he know. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE. Augustus Leech, formerly a turnkey at the Peniten tiary, Milbank, and latterly deputy-governor of the House of Correction at Salop, was placed at • the bar, charged with horsewhipping the Rev. Dr. Nihil, Chap lain and Governor of the Penitentiary, Millbank. The Rev. Dr. Nihil stated, that about two that day he was passing up Millbank-street, when, on a sudden, th 4 prisoner came up to him and commenced horsewhipping him very violently with a riding-whip. After striking him several times, he said he would walk with him be fore a Magistrate, and at once came to this office. Mr. GREGORIE asked how it was that any ill feeling occurred between defendant and complainant 2—Dr. Nihil said that the prisoner laboured under an opinion that he had done him an injury, and at the very time he was horsewhipping him swore that he had ruined him. -Mr. GREGORIE inquired what connexions had existed between them ? Dr. Nihil replied, that defendant had acted as warden of the Penitentiary until the end of the year 1839, when he was discharged by order of the committee, in conse quence of his (Dr. Nihil) having reported to them that defendant had, contrary to the regulations of the establish ment, applied for a situation at Coldbath-fields prison, whilst absolutely holding one at the Penitentiary. Two gentlemen who were passing by proved having witnessed the assault. Mr. GREGORIE called upon defendant to answer the charge. . Defendant having implored the Magistrate to give him a patient hearing and administer even-handed justice, stated that he had acted xis warden in the Penitentiary from March 1835, to the 30th December 1839, partly uuder the former governor and partly under the present governor, the rev. complainant. In the latter dart of 1839, being anxious to better his condition, he applied for the situa tion of turnkey at Coldbath-fields prison, and was placed on the list of candidates. All men were anxious to lin prove their condition in life, and this was a feeling from which the rev, gentleman did not seem exempt, for whilst holding one situation he applied for another, and succeeded in adding 500/. per annum to his income. For the offence of applying at Coldbath-fields he was taken before a Committee of two by the r ev . com pl a i nan t an d discharged. • He obtained, it was true, subsequently a situation at Coldbath-fields as sub-turnkey, which was inferior in station as well as emolument to what he was looking for, owing to the interference of the rev, com plainant against him. Dr. Nihil here interrupted the accused by stating that the interference be used was with Colonel Chesterton in his favour. ._ Defendant continued—After stopping some months at Coldbath-fields, he resigned, but subsequently obtained, through the recommendation of COlonel Chesterton, the situation of Deputy-Governor and taskmaster of the Salop county gaol, where he went on comfortably, until feeling from the altered conduct o f th e G overnor towar d s him, tat some communication had been made by Dr. Nihil to his prejudice, he determined to resign, and having done so, he asked the Governor, Mr. Dawson, whether he had not received a letter from Dr. Nihil re • specting him. The Governor, who appeared much sur prised at the question, replied that he had, and added that the rev. gentleman had spoken very indifferently of him. Mr. Nihil begged to explain this matter. He had, he said, received a letter in the latter part of last year from the Governor of the gaol of Shrewsbury, inclosing a pamphlet, which be said had been written by defen dant, and asking several questions re,pecting him ; to that letter he replied he had reason to believe that de fendant had strong prejudices against him in consequence of some imagined injury, and he therefore begged to de cline answering the questions put to him. Had he (Dr. Nihil) spoken ever so badly of defendant, his conduct would have justified him in so doing. Defendant, with some warmth, observed that having his prospects in life ruined by the cruelty of the rev. gentleman towards him, he thought himself warranted in taking the course he bad done. Mr. , ' GREGORIE said that even supposing the rev. gentleman had been instrumental in his losing his situa tion, which no one could imagine, he would not be jus tified in co:nmitti ng thi s gross and aggravated assault. Defenda n t was th en or d ere d to find to answer the charge at the sessions. CLERKENWELL. William Whiting, the young man charged with carry ing off a volume of Garrick's collection of Old Plays, was again placed at the bar on Saturday evening. Sir Henry Ellis, and several other gentlemen were in at tendance for the prosecution, and the prisoner's employers and many other highly respectable individuals were pre sent to speak on his behalf. Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—Have you any further explanation to give? Prisoxer—Not any. Mr. GREENWOOD—How long have you been under articles to Messrs. Wright, Waterman, and Egan? Pri soner—TWo years. Mr. GREENWOOD—What - were - you before you en tered the service of those gentlemen ? Prisoner—l was at school in the establishment of Dr. Lord, of Tooting. • Mr. Wright, one of the prisoner's employers, Mr. Whiting, the uncle of the accused, who has the manage ment of the business of Ferrers, Esq., one of the Masters in Chancery, Mr. Tasser, an attorney, Mr. Charles Butterfield, a nd ma ny other gentlemen, were then called and exam i ne d f or the defence. They seve rally spoke of him as a young man of studious habits, moral rectitude, and strict integrity, and they could conscientiously assert that lie would not knowingly do an act prejudicial to himself or to society. Some of the witn esses s t a t e d that they knew of the accused receiving the i n t ro d u ction to the reading rooms of the Museum, an d h e expresse d his delight in having that opportunity of amusing and improving his mind. He told them that the order would enable him to convey books from the Museum to his own lodgings, and that to him was an infinite pleasure, as it would make him keep at home at night, and be not only a saving to his pocket, but a protection to his health. He was congra tulated by all whom he so addressed, and doubly so on Friday, when he pr o d uce d t o them the valuable work which he now was accused of purloining, and which some of them were admiring with him when the messen ger took him into custody. tioi GnalEakeeN7oson ir as i k ie e n d r Sir —Th H.

Mr. Hurry said, when taken he was dragged into a house where the handcuffs were put on him, and then brought through the town like a felon; he should cer tainly look into such a serious matter. Lees then stated he was a jeweller, and resided at No. 6, Sarah Ann-place, Brand-row, Kent-road, and had a house at 181. per year. His watch was a Geneva one, number 243 (which was not the case) ; and he also stated that there was no name (while there was), which he had had six years, but never minutely examined it. Mr. GROVE remarked he had had his watch ten years, and neither knew maker's name nor number. The Officer said it answered the description of one stolen, and which appeared in the Hue and Cry: could he not detain him? Mr. GROVE—On your own responsibility ; I shall not order it. Lees must enter into his own recognizances of 501. to appear when called upon to. do so. As to the pri soner Thompson, he is committed for trial. Mr. Cohen, a respectable gentleman of the town, was also dragged through the town by the police, on the pre tence that he was in company with the last named pri soner. Several most respectable inhabitants, surprised, followed him to the station-house, and there convinced the sergeant it was not possible he could do such a thing, and he was liberated ; of course the gentleman felt keenly such an outrage being committed upon him. RAILWAY, BETWEEN LONDON AND PARIS. The following - letter has been•addressed to us by the Mayor of Boulogne. The- ptmphlet which accompanies it will he noticed in due time. Monsieur le Redacteur—Permettez moi d'appeler votre attention stir la ire noire ci joint qui traite de la direc tion a donner, en France, au chemin de fer international qui doit unir Londres et Paris. L'interet evident qu'ont les deux nations a ce que la communication entre ces capitales soit assure 2 par la voie la plus courte, la plus facile et la plus rosuliere, ne me laisse aucun doute qu' apres avoir let notre travail vous ne reconnaissiez les avantages qu' offre le port de Boulogne sous tons les rapports. Les admirables travaux qui ont rendu son entree et sa sortie si faciles et ont pro em at a son chenal une profondeur d'eau qu'on ne trouve dans aucun port voisin, ont eu pour resultat de lui as surer pres des trois quarts des voyageurs entre la France et I'Angleterre : et cela malgre l'immense avantage que procure a Calais la presence des paquebots de malle qui font nn service obligatoire. On pent done dire que, sans ce privilege, presque tout le passage aurait lieu par Boulogne oil s'ernbarquent deja la malle de l'lnde et ,presque tons les courriers de commerce. Ces resultats etant encore pen connus, puis qu'ils ne datent que de cinq a six ans au plus, it est demon devoir d'en repandre la connaissance, afin que l'opinion pub lique puisse se prononcer en connaissance de cause sur la direction que iC:clament, pour .la ligne de Londres d Paris, les interets des deux nations. 11 ne vous echap pra pats que notre systeme aura en mitre quand it sera execute dans son ensemble, l'avantage ci'auvrir a tons les ports Anglais une communication avec le reseau de cheanin do fer du Nord, par tousles ports Francais de Dunkerque au Havre._ Notre 4 deiir etant d'eAairer le public, en portant tous les faits avec leurs preuves a l'appui a la connaissance des principaux organes de l'opinion publique, j'ai pence, Monsieur le Beiacteur, que vous seriez asSez bon pour inserer dans votre feuille un extrait de notrt travail, et vous associer ainsi a toutes les tnesures qui peuvent res serrer l'union de deux grandes nations. J'ai I'honnour d'être, Monsieur le Redacteur, votre devout serviteur. LE MAIRE DE BOULOGNE, [AL. ADAM.] Delartement du Pas-de-Calais, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Janvier 29, 1842. TRANSLATION. Sia,—Atlow me to call your attention to the accom panying Report on th e li ne to b e a d opte d i n F rance for theinternational railway uniting London and Paris. The evident interest which the two nations have that the communication between the capitals should be by the shortiest, easiest, and most regular route, assures me, that on reading our Report, you. will recognise the ad vantages that the port of Boulogne possesses. The ad mirable works which have given it such a depth of water, found in no neighbouring port, and rendering the passage in and out so easy, have made it selected by three-tburths of the travellers between France and England ; and this in spite of the great advantage accru ing to Calais from the packet-boats—compelled to go there. Without this privilege (attaching to Calais), we may safely assert that Boulogne would always b e th e chosen port for p ass i ng f rom and to France and England, it being even now the point chosen for the embarkation of the Indian mail, and all commercial couriers. These facts being but little known, as they date their origin Only five or six years back, at most, I feel it my duty to make them known, in order that public opinion may from accurate information decide on that line from London and Paris, which appears the best adapted for the interest of the two nations. It will not escape your notice that our plan, when fully executed, will possess the additional advantage of opening to all the English ports a communication with the different branches of the Great Northern Railway by all the French ports from Dunkirk to Havre. Our desire being to inform the public, by bringing facts and proofs before the principal organs of public opinion, I have thought, Mr. Editor, that you would be good enough to insert, in your publication, an extract from our work, and so associate yourself with all the measures calculated to strengthen the union between two great nations. I have the honour to be, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, THE MAYOR OF BOULOGNE. [AL. ADA)!.] Boulo g ne, 29th January, 1.842.
