It might be vulgar to call the Lords the cads of the Commons, but it was made plain, by the debate of last night, that wherever the Commons choose to drive, the Lords must follow. We regretted very much to hear Lord BROUGHAM most elaborately defend, last night, the discriminating and prohibitory duty on sugar, on the ground that to remove it would encourage the importation of slave grown sugar and the slave trade. Admitting that, we roust beg leave to repeat our opinion that the Legisla ture is not now justified in withholding food, which sugar is, from our own people, on any such speculative apprehensions. Our own people are, or at least ought to be, the first consideration with the Legislature, and if it inflict the smallest injury on them, with a view to benefi! the Africans, it violates its duty to perform an act of su pern.:atory charity. To be generous to strangers it tramples our people under foot. But. we do not admit that the abolition of the diseriminatlng duties would encourage the slave trade ; and we must, there fore, express our decided, bat respectful, dissent from Lord BROUGHAM'S view. The general distress has suggested the recommenda tion to Government immediately to permit all the corn now in bond to be released free of duty. This seems to us advisable. It is now almost certain, that all that corn will be brought in at next to a nomiaal duty before the new harvest comes to market. Almost all the cornin the coun try is now in the hands of corn• dealers ; they can regu late the supply almost as they please, and they, would be arrant fools if they did not so regulate. it as to put all the duty in their pockets. Suppose that there is now 1,000,000 quarters of wheat in bond—the duty it now 11s., and the law therefore actually holds out to the corn dealers a -bonus of 500,0001. to keep that wheat froth the market till the duty be 1s- They are, we have no doubt, endeavouring to accom plish that, and we have heard that circularS recommend lug the holders of foreign corn to follow. that course Of conduct, and pointing out its certain success, have been issued. Nothing, we further believ'e,: but an extraor• dinarily early harvest can prevent the speculators from obtaining their object. With this almost moral certainty of their success before Sir R. PEEL'S - eyes, he would do the suffering and starving people a great service by at once permitting that ( orn to• be imported free of duty. By so doing the people will be spared six weeks' suffering, and the farmers will receive Lo injury whatever. On the contrary, it will benefit thern. By witholding this corn to the last moment, and famishing . the people in the meantime, the prices will fall more when it is all brought in, and probably brought in just in con junction with our own harvest, than if it were at once to be introduced and gradually consumed before our own harvest is ripe. We hope that Sir R. PEEL will think of this, and confer this immense advantage on the people, Nvhic.h will cause no ultimate loss to the revenue, and in flict no injury on the agriculturist. Distress to a most fearful extent prevails throughout Ireland. From every part of that unhappy country ac counts reach us of the prevalence of famine among the peasantry. This has attained such a height that all re gard for the rights of property is fast disappearing, and the people assemble in hundreds openly to violate the last A few days ago we had to record a massacre in Ennis,. in the county of Clare, occasioned by the scarcity of provisions there. The Dublin Pilot of Wednesday contains the following account of an almost similar scene, attended, however, with less disastrous results, at Gal way. The same Journal states that on that day Sir VALENTINE BLAKE waited on the LORD LIEUTENANT, at Dublin Castle, to solicit assistance for the poor people, and was answered that the subject would receive hit, Excellency's best consideration. "DREADFUL RIOTS IN GALWAY-CALLING OUT AND RETREAT OF THE MILITARY. " Just as we were going to press we were favoured with the following extract from a private letter from Galway, received in town this morning, from which it will be seen that at the date of the letter (Tuesday, June 14), the town was completely in the hands of the population : " Nothing can exceed the dreadful excitement here at pre sent, in consequence of the high price of provisions. During the whole of yesterday the town was perambulated by large bodies of fishermen, labourers, women, and boys. There was scarcely a store in the town, in which potatoes were thought to be kept, that was not broken open. The military and police were called out to check the people, but were obliged by overwhelming numbers to retreat to their respective barracks. The inhabitants were in constant apprehension that some of the unfortunate people's lives would be taken, as the commander of the military threatened several times to fire unless they desisted from fling ing stones ; but, though he had the Riot Act in his hand, be did net fulfil his threat, in consequence of the interference of several gentlemen of the town. At night the whole town was illuminated to celebrate the triumph o the destitute population. Though their conduct can not be justified, still it must be admitted that they had considerable provocation, as potatoes were raised in the morn ing to the enormous price of eightpence per stone. The great majority, however, through want of employment, would be unable to purchase potatoes were they even to be had at one penny per stone ! You will see by this to what a state of des titution the immense population of this place is reduced—all because the Government have refrained from adopting those measures which would revive the trade of Galway, and give employment to the whale population. Had they adopted the suggestions of our representatives, of making Galway the packet station, none of the existing evia would prevail."' Only six votes were given on Thursday in support of Mr. FErtaaNn's motion for granting a million sterling to re lieve the distress of the country. GOD help the poor, they find no abler advocate than the Hon. Member for Knareshorough. Whatever credit he may have with the country, he has none with the House of Commons— none even with Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Liberals almost to a man—including such staunch Reformers as Mr. VILLIERS, Mr. WALLACE, and Mr. WILLIAMS—voted against a motion which it was clear to the House was :only brought forward for factious purposes. Mr. FER RAND has but one object in view, and that is to excite a rising of the manufacturing classes against their em ployers. He is a political incendiary, envious of the notoriety of FRAMES O'CONNOR, and seeking to obtain it by means• more unscrupulous than ever were em ployed by that self-constituted champion of the Work ing classes. It will, therefore, excite no surprise to find all parties uniting to reject any measure proposed sty him. Besides, it is not charity, but employment, that. is wanted by the working classes. Repeal the Corn laws, that they may have cheap food, and abolish those monopolies, which restrict theextension of our commerce, and the people of England will stand in no need of either public or private charity. All they want is work, and work they can have in abundance, if the Legislature will only cease to protect class interests at their expense, Mr. FERRAND, and others of his class, pauperize the country with Corn laws, and then court popularity by treating the victims of such laws as paupers. This is aiding insult to the cruelest injury. We admit that there may be cases—extreme cases-- in which it may he the duty of the Government to ad v7,nce utostv . y to relieve lucid distress. Where the people are visited by pestilence, or the ravages of fire, it may he just, proper, and merciful to alleviate the misery thereby occasioned out of the taxes of the State ; but general distress calls for a far different remedy. The evil in such a case is invariably created by what is called protective legislation—that is to say, legislation fur a particular class, at the expense of the community. All parties in the House of Commons regard the Hon. Member far linaresborough as a Parliamentary nuisance. Not a syllable now uttered by him is credited by any per sJn. His speech of Thursday night did not elicit a single cheer from any part of the House, although it was fun of the bitterest abuse of the manufacturers. Mr. FER RAND has had his day, and must henceforth content him self with being a political non-entity. There is no political news in the French Journals of Wednesday. The following extracts from them are of sona interest to the general reader:— The National states that several of the wine-growers of Bordeaux, having been unable to pay their taxes, have been dis trained upon, their cattle and furniture being seized in prefer ence to their stock of wine on hand. We find the following in the Presse, in allusion to the Go vernment despatch from Bayonne, announcing the parties who are expected to compose the new Spanish Ministry:—" For the clear understanding of this intelligence, it is necessary to observe that the name of Ramon, given as one of the candi dates, is only the christian name of Calatrava, brother of him who was at the head of the Spanish Ministry in 1836. The name of Labolada is not that of any Spanish political man, and is, no doubt, meant to designate Laborde. These ex planations given, the following will unquestionably be the manner in which the portfolios will be distributed, if this com bination announced be actually formed, viz., that of War, to Rodil ; of Foreign Affairs, to Connt Almodovar ; of Jus tice, to Landero ; of Finances, to Ramon Calatrava; of the Interior, to Laborda ; of the Marine, to General Capaz ; of the Colonies, to Vadillo, a new Minister, or rather a restoration fro the Con,tituttonal Government of 1821 None of these per,onages belong to the coalition Lshich overturned the Ca binet of Gonzales, none of them has any influence in the Chambers, none of them took active or direct part in the re volution of September, a qualification fur passer deemed a rine qua non in the eyes of the new majority. To us it ap rears to be impossible that such a Cabinet should not he either compelled to retire on the first hostile manifestation of the Cortes, or resort to a dissolution." A letter from Tletncen, June 2, in the Constitutionnel, states that not the slightest oppositkri had been offered to General Bugeaud since his late combat. The news of his ap proach was alone sufficient to disperse considerable numbers of Arabs. A bd-el-Kader, hearing that the tribe of the Beni- Ilourni had some intention of submitting, repaired suddenly to their viilage on the 31st ult., and gave a dreadful example of severity, decapitating 20, taking away 20 more as hostages, and levying a heavy . contribution. He departed imm e _ diately, declaring that on the slightest appearance of treachery, he would return and punish them still more severely. The Emir had published a paper which he declared to be prophetic, and which he got distributed by a fool who was looked on as inspired. This document promises the speedy extermination of the French by a great Prince of the line of Omar, who, of course, is to be Abd-el-Kader himself. The letter from Tlemcen adds that the Emir was in great want of money, not having enough to pay his personal followers. Felipo, the bandit of Catalonia, says the Emancipation of Tonlouse of the I Ith inst., entered at mid-day on the 3d inst. the Old alibied town of Ripoil at the head of 60 men, and seized the alcalde, the captain of the militia, and several merchants and other persons of wealth, after disarming a post of 14 men whicli formed the whole of the garrison. The post of Camo devanol being informed of the proceeding, immediately came to Ripoil by a breed march, but Felipo, on its approach, made. eff with his captives in the direction of Vallespirans. . We have received the following letter :- - TLEMCEN, JUNE 2.—We have made many excursions of no importance since my last. The enemy has everywhere given way, and has often testified his peaceful intentions by bringing in provisions. General Bedeau, since his last combats, has inspired the people of the extreme frontier with terror. The news of his approach have sufficed to disperse considerable bodies which would formerly have opposed us. A great deal has been said of the approaching submission of the Angead, or at least of the great family of the Angead governed by Sidi-Ben-Karach, for a great portion of that famous tribe has already followed the Sultan Sidi-el-Chig - ir, and joined our ranks. if this defection should take place the Emir will find it impossible to keep the field in the country of Tlemcen, for he will not have a single friend there. Accord , ingly he has endeavoured to proceed by a signal example of ven geance and severity. The Beni-Hourni, having some intention of submitting, and having caused negotiations to be opened with the General, Aid-el-Kader, repaired in all haste, on the night (.1 . the 31st of last month, to the territory of those unfortunate people; caused twenty of them to be beheaded, levied a heavy contribution, and carried away twenty hostages, threatening ! that on the slightest treachery of which he should be informed, Ihe would return and punish them more severely. These acts of cruelty may destroy a little the projects of the Arabs, but they will entirely and inviolab'y attach our allies to us. The Emir, in the utmost difficulty of procuring money to pay the few adherents that remain Wallin to him, endeavours to make an impression on the people's minds by publishing a paper, which he declares to be prophetic, and which he has caused to be dis tributed by a fool who was looked on as inspired. This docu ment promises the speedy extermination of the French by a great Prince of the line of Omer, who, of course, is to be Abd el.Kader himself.— Constitutiounel.

THE MORNING POST AND THE "ESTABLISHED IIA BITS" PRINCIPLE OF LEGISLATION.—The Moreiey Pest observes, in an article on the subject of the Tariff changes —" The theorist who legislates in disregard of established habits, legislates in disregard of the creature for whom he is legislating, to wit, man." This is as ultra-Tory doctrine worthy even of an Eldon, and such as that staunch advocate of the stand-still principle of Government would have recognised as the most exalted of truths. It will not, however, bear an instant's con• sideration ; indeed its gross absurdity must be obvious to the most ordinary capacity. Ifad it ever been seriously maintained and persevered in as a principle ( se legislation, not one of the great social and political changes that have taken place within the last three or four centuries, could possibly have occurred. It was in " disregard of established habits" that the Reformation was effected in England, and Popery, with all its super stitious observances, trampled under foot. It was in " disregard of established habits" that witchcraft was abo lished, and o:d women freed from the apprehensions of being " done to a turn" over a slow fire, for their presumed intercourse with Satan. It was in "disregard of established habits" that James the Second, the rightful occupier orate throne, was ceshiered, and the alien William called tAi the throne of England. Coining down to a later period, we may add, that it was in " disregard of established habits" that the Test and Corporation Acts were re pealed, Catholic Emancipation granted, hanging for forgery abolished, the statute law revised by Sir Robeet Peel, and the new police system introduced into the me - tropolis and elsewhere. In fact, every beneficial reform that has been effected since the country was blessed Si ith a Constitution, has been effected in " disregard of esta blished habits." To legislate in obsequious deference to these "habits," is to put a stop to all human improve ment ; to countenance the monstrous hypothesis that the national mind is incapable of progression ; and to act on the assumption that it must ever continue to remain in the same state of imperfect deve lopment in which it now is. What is steam—what, the railway system—what, the spinning-jenny, and the hundred other scientific and mechanical discoveries that have of late years conduced so much to benefit the country ?—what are all these discoveries, but so many bold innovations on the old order of things. effected in utter disregard of " established habits?" If our ultra- Tory Contemporary must needs talk nonsense, let him at least talk such nonsense as is suited to the prejudices of the day, and not the nonsense that belongs exclusively to an age of barbarism. POST-OFFICE.—OR the motion of Mr. Wellnee nume rous returns respecting this establishment have been laid before Parliament, of which the Ibllowing are abstracts: —l. The total number of eases in which persons in the employ of the Post-office have been convicted of steal ing letters containing money, in England and Wales, fir the four years ending sth January, 1840, is 52, and the amount 1,238/. Bs. 9d. 2. The total amount of coin and bank-notes contained in letters applied for through the Post-offices of London, Edinburgh, end Dublin as undelivered for the same years, was 94,936/. 165.; namely, at the General Post-office London, 68,197/., - Edinburgh 1,498/., and Dublin 15,566/. The whole, or , nearly the whole, of this large sum, we presume, was lost. 3. The number of persons plismissed under the allegation of having purloined money-letters, for the same period, in England, Scotland, and Ireland, was 110 ; namely, 74 for England, 19 for Scotland, and 17 for Ireland. 4. The number of persons who had actu ally defrauded the revenue department of the Post-office, and been dismissed, during the four years mentioned, was 28, all for the first offence. SIikIMARY OF NEWS AND public ptit ton. ".W Who runs may read." POILEIG;Z. The 111ouileur states that the reports in circulation for some days respecting an alleged revolt cf the natives of the pro vince of Constantine against the French were totally un founded, the Government having received no important news from that province. On the subject of the French erections the Journal des Debats appears confident that the electors of Paris will retitln their representatives in the late Chamber, and holds up as unexceptionable characters, worthy of tlie confidence of ti .e capital which they have so many times and so satisfactorily' re presented, Messrs. Jacques, I.elebre de Jussieu, and Jacque initiot. The Debats recommends also the new Conservative candidates, MM. Tarbe des Sa:alons and Legentil. La Gayenne of Bordeaux, of the llth inst. publishes the following hst of seizures made for Government taxes in the department of the Gironde :—" At Yquem a proprietor who owed 700 f, for the present year, had a fleck of merino sheep seized, which were intended for sail at the fair of Villadract. The same proprietor had 80 hhds. of wine in cellars, which the authorities refused to accept in payment of the taxes due. The same process was enforeed at Sauterne, at Preignac, and other places, where the proprietors, who were unable to con vert their wines into money, saw their furniture carried off by the authorities." The Armoricain of Brest, of the 10th inst., states that a ter rific hurricane burst upon that town the preceding day, which caused much injury. Heavy claps of thunder were followed by a fall of enormous hailstones, which broke the greater part at the windows in the town. Some persons were killed, and many severely wounded. We find the following in the Droit :—" An act of insubor•. dilation, which might have led to the most serious results, has just taken place at Narbonne, in a detachment of artillery, on its way to Africa. According to the report most current it appears that the mutineers commenced by demanding the liberty of a marechal-de-legis, who had been arrested the pre ceding day, and then formally refused to continue their route. Thanks to the energy of Lieut. Pinel, the commander of the detachment, the guilty parties were arrested to the number of 27, and lodged in the military prison at Perpignan." PELISZIAMENTARY. It was stated last night, in the House of Lords, that as Ire • land was not called on by the Queen's letter to contribute to the funds for the relief of the distressed, she would not share in them. The Lords were engaged from five till three, in what several Noble Lords described as a bi.otless discussion on the Income-tax Bill. he third reading was moved by the Earl of Ripon, who rested its necessity on the financial difficulties of the country. The Marquis of Lansdowne moved resolutions, setting forth the measures of the late Whig Government as better calculated to answer the proposed end than the Income-tax. A long debate ensued, in which Lord Colchester, Lord Brougham, Lord Melbourne, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Wicklow, the Earl of Clarendon, and Lord Wharn cliffe, took part. In the end, their Lordships divided on the Marquis of Lansdowne's resolution, which was negatived by 112 to 52. Several Noble Lords still desiring to express their sentiments, an adjournment of the debate was moved. After considerable conversation on this point, the motion was carried, and their Lcrilships adjourned. In the Cornmcns, Mr. Fos Maule, on presenting a petition from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, with drew the hasty notice he had given the evening before, to bring the subject under the consideration of the House on .luiy 3. Tne conduct of the military in retreating before the mob in Galway was the subject of a question put to Lord Eliot, who said lie had no official information on the matter. In reply to Mr. Ellice, jun., Sir Iti.bert Peel stated that h.• c , mittered the Poor-law of Scotland to be eefective, and he thought the subject well wrrthy of consideration. Mr. C. Buller gave notice that he will on Monday bring the conduct of the Ministers, in relation to the gold coinage, under the notice of the House. For the principal portion of the even* the House was occu pied with a debate on the Poor-law. Sir J. Graham moved the second reading of the Bill. Mr. Sharman Crawford moved that it be read a second time in three months. At twelve o'clock, after a considerable number of Members had spoken, though none of any weight, except Sir James Graham, who made a sensible speech, the Ho'sse divided, and the second reading was carried by 260 to 61.

AU the Peers agreed last night that the Income ta.x Bill is, as a Bill, independent of its purposes, a uneister of deformity. The Marquis of LANsnowN s:,oLe• of it as terrifying him by its bulk ned its emapl , xity. Lord BaoucuAm pointed nut in it great number of verbal imperfections and in con.:;:cte and even contradictory enactments. The 1 . -;,:r1 a WICKLOW did the same in relation to that part of the Bill which taxes Irish gentleman residing in Nyhdle or in i.art in England. The Ministers had little nothing to say in its d, fence on these points, and it is passed into a law, branded by the law tiaisker:.. themselves as a huge jumble of complex and contradictory clauses. In this we admire the ho rutty of the Lords quite as much as their sagacity, fet did not need any great skill to discover the defects of this real , wal of the hasty Act of 1806 ; but it required in the Peers some boldness to denounce a measure to v.hich they were about to give their sanction. The great object which Lord BanuantAm had in view v. to prove to their Lordships how much they suffered iu diameter, and how much our Legislature was deteri orated, by the House of Commons_ refusing to allow the House of Lords to make any alterations in a Money Bill. His Lordship contended that the House of Commons might preserve its peculiar pri v il eges, and allow the Lords to amend and correct its hasty legislation, by separating all mere taxing enttettnents from all executive clauses. The Income-tax Bill, he asserted, ought to have been divided into two Bills ; one ordaining - t h e am ount of the tax, a n d th e other * arranging. the machinery for collecting it. Th,, former Lord BROITCHAM would not touch, the fitter be would make perfect. Ile would, therefore, preserve the privileges of the Commons, and give more lezisktive powers to the Lords. The Noble Lord bo:i ed of the capability of the house of Lords to tua'Ae the laws consistent and proper, and, on the sat; e groniul, eondenined tie present practice, which, in the Moaey Bills, deprives them of the: power. At tile same time, it is obvious t hat were ',era thOUGRAM'S ilisti,:ction acted on, it would not place die on an equality with the Commons. As Lord MtiLuourtxx staid, tho Income-tax is a nmasure Pniitspo.urt import:th e e. It ;dt, , r3 the whole financial po:1;:y of the empire. It cannot well be departed from and must he continued. It carries with it great COM- Lu.... , reitt alo , rations ; but because it is a tax, even were Lord BROUGHAM's suggestion followed, the Lords would not be a bl e to alter or amend it. They would, on his scheme, as at present, have •no voice,, therefore, in determining the financial policy of the empi re, t h Ough they'would give theiV•assent to it, and the Act Of Parliament eifeeting the change would purport to beienacted by the authority of the Queen, Lords, anti Commons.

The other bonds noticed to-day are Colombian, 25i, and Portuguese Five per Cents., 37k. A proclamation has been posted in the city this morning, an notmeing the issue of half-farthings, which are to be a legal tender to the extent of six-penny-worth. It is difficult to per ceive the particular object this small money is to answer, though it doubtless will be a relief to the poorer class, whe at prsent lose much by fractions in purchasing small quantities of articles. A better feeling in the pi oduce market is now visible in con sequence of the final completion of the tariff. The duties upon many articles are still considered to he very objectionable, and to require alteration, but the measure as a whole is generally looked upon as satisfactory, and now that all uncertainty is ended it is expected that trade will revive. The concessions made to the manufacturing interest by the reductions on the raw material will prove of great benefit to them, and especially on those articles, such as dyes, &c., which so largely enter into their consumption. Some large parcels of Gums have since been brought forward, and the good effect of the altera tion was plainly perceptible, as well as on many other goods of a similar nature. The present year, however, may be re garded as a bad one, owing to the great stagnation which ex isted during the first six months, it not being to be expected that during the period which is to come it will be s.ufEciently brisk to counterbalance the loss already sustained.

Just as we are going to press we are informed of the death of the learned Polish refugee, Leleivel, at Brussels, wnere he lived in the glreatest poverty. The Court of Cassation has rejected to-day the appeal of Vandermeere and the other three persons condemned to death, fora plot against the State. The . heat continues to be much more intense than usual at this season. On Saturday the mercury in the thermometer of the Observatory, placed in the shade, rose to 29 degrees of Heaumur (97 degrees Farenheit). This excessive heat is com plained of in France, Germany, and Holland, and in the site of Walcheten fresh water is so scarce that the Magi trates have sent a vessel to Holland for a cargo of water, which will be dis tributed among the inhabitants. It appears from a private letter from Brussels, in the Petites Affiches of Caustray, that the number of Flemish workmen who have emigrated may be estimated at twenty thousand. BRUSSELS, JUNE Is.—The average price of wheat last Iweek was 23f. 770., and that of rye, 13f. 52c. , The Address of the Estates of the Grand Duchy of Luxem ' burg is now published. The following is the passage which was spoke of as containing an expression of disapprobation of the accesson to the Customs' Union:—" Since Luxemburg had the distinguished favour of your Majesty's first visit, it has ob tained manifest proofs of your solicitude for the welfare of the ! country, and if all the measures that have been adopted have ! not been conformable to the wishes of the majority of the inha bitants, we attribute this to the pressure of circum stances, persuaded, that when the time shall come for the renewing the Commercial Treaty with the Union, now in force, the experience of several years will produce a greater unanimity of views respecting it, and we doubt not that your Alpjesty will then cause an account to be rendered to you of the effects which the treaty should be timed to have produced. The Journal de Bruxefies announces that General Prisse is appointed Belgian Minister at the Hague, in the room of the Prince de Chimery. The Journal de Flundres says '—" We are assured that in several communes in our vicinity at. Lootenhalle, Hansbike, ! &c., bands of Workmen without employment ramble about the country, and levy contributions on the fat mere We are told of a fat mer of Lootenhalle, named Steguest, whose farm was oei upied in the night by fifteen persons, who, with vehement threats, demanded bread and money." We learn front Bohemia that, in the n:ght of th• 30th ult., a tire which orig:nated in a stable at Hirschberg, in that country, spread xsith such irresistible force and rapidity, that 110 houses were destroyed, and the rest of the town was only saved with the greatest difficulty.

The all, g ation wa.- that the invention was not new, but had been used by Alt-. 14..ncock so far back as 1824. The answer on the part of the defendant was, that his mode of manufacture was different from that of Mr. Hancock, and that the manufactured fabric was in consequence different, and that the invention was, therefore, in the light of a new one. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Richards, Mr. Cording, and Mr. Cardwell were for the prosecution ; and Sir T. Wilde, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Sergeant Bompas, and Mr. Addi son, for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 17. SMITH v. PRICE. The plaintiff in this case is a manufacturer of machinery, and the de endant is a gentleman of fortune, residing in the country. P. appeared that in the year 1836, a gentleman of the name of Else had taken out a patent for a machine for roasting corn for the purpose of malting. The present defend ant had advanced him 1,500/. in order that he might carry our. the invention, and it was agreed between them, that if the patent succeeded, the defendant should have a share in the pro fits. The potent, however, was turned to no account, and Mr. E;se had since left the country. The plaintiff in this case had furnished certain machinery connected with the patent; and tile present action was brought to recover from the defendant the cost of this machinery, on the ground that he should be considered an a joint proprietor of the patent. '1 he Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver dict for the defendant. POLICi 1 ,TELIAGENCE. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A young mart of very respectable appearance, who gave the name of .lames Smith, which he admitted was not his right one, and whose face and eyes were frightfully tumefied, was charged with being " drunk and disorderly." Police constable No. 32 of the C division, stated that about h , lf past one yesterday morning, while proceeding on duty through Air-street, he heard a great noise and disturbance in Regent-street, and on proceeding there found a crowd of per sons, amongst whom were several notorious thieves and dis order ly women, assembled in front of the It egent Saloon, No. 81i, in the Quadrant, and in the midst of them the de:endant, who a as bleeding so profusely from the nose and mouth that the front part of his clothes were completely, saturated through. It was evident that he had been brutally ill-treated. lie was also so much intoxicated that he refused to give any account of him self, but would persist in remaining where he was, and witness therefore conveyed him to the station-house to keep him out or the way of further harm. H.taDIVICK asked the defendant if he had any recol lection of how he came in such a plight? The defendant said that he was on his way home, having drank rather freely, when a female he met with inveigled him lido the " Heent saloon," to treat her with a glass of wine. They had one a piece at a sort of bar, and on asking what was to pay, 6s. was demanded of him, and on his refusing to pay so extortionate a charge, he was menaced and abused by several well-dressed men, who ap peared to beli.ng to the house, and at length, fearing he shoutd get ill-used, he paid the exorbitant charge, and was as quickly as possible making his way out of the place, when he was at- Lcked by the men, and one of them beat him about the face and head until he was so completely stunned that he had no recollection of how he got into the street. Mr. HA anwlCa inquired whether this place was known to the police ? Police-serjeant, No. 10, of the C division, said it was, but the parties who had opened it dared the police to enter the pre mises, as it was not a licensed house. It had only been opened but a very short time, yet every night disturbances and fights a ere accurr:ng there, and numerous complaints had been made of the nuisance by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Mr. Haanwrcx said he should discharge the defendant, who had evidently paid dearly for his folly, and the adventure would no doubt be a caution to him in future. As to a house of such a description as the one in question, he would himself see that immediate steps were taken to suppres. , it. Yest,rday, Charles Wilson, aged 18, Evan Evans, aged 15, and James Finlayson, aged 16 years, very respectably dressed, were plated at the bar, charged with attempting to pick pockets. . . Mr. HA RDWICK inquired if any of them were known to the police. A police constable said that Wilson had been tried and convicted of felony at the Old Bailey ; the other two he knew a 3 pickpockets, having seen them on different races and paces of public amusement, in company with known thieves. ;Mr. HA ttowicx said he should remand the ti, in order to give time for turther inquiries to be made about them. Thomas Tollett, the driver of the cabriolet No. 351, ap peared on summons to answer the complaint of the lion. Frederick Cavendish, for exacting more than his fare. The complainant stated that about four o'clock on Friday afternoon Lst, he hired the cab, No. 351, at the termintt3 of the Great Western Railroad, having just arrived Irum Wind-or, and was driven to his residence in Souih-street, Grosvenor square, when the driver demanded and received 2s. as his tare, winch was more than he was entitled to, the distance being less then two miles. The defendant alleged that the complainant had made a mis take as to the number as on Friday afternoon, at four o'clock, he was waiting at London-bridge the arrival of the Margate steam-boat, and on its coming in he got a fare to No. 8, Ches. tertield-street, May-fair, which he set down a little after five o'clock, so that it was impossible he could have been at the terminus of the Great Western Railway. Ultimately the complainant consented to drop proceedings in the present case, on condition of the defendant paying him back the costs which be was out of pocket, and which he should hand over to the poor-box. The defendant reluctantly consented to this, and the sum mons was dismissed. Mr. Caventli h then stated that he had summ ned several cab-drivers lately for overcharge, and he was determined, as he had plenty of time on his hands, and rode about a great deal, to punish every case of ov,rcharge he met with; and this he was determined to do, if it was only for the good of the public. The fines and costs he invariably gave to the poor- box. LLOYD'S SIIIPPING LONDON, JUNE 17.—Wind this day at Noon, E. DEAL, JUNE 16.—Wind N. W., moderate.—Sld.

An explanation is offered , which, however, far from satisfying the complaints °n the subject, rather increase; the dissatisfaction, so P er " fectly.inadequate is it considered. This explaoation is, that when the in come - tax ceases , i t w ill b e i n the month ofApril, and that therefore the holders of Consols at the time, who Pa' roeir tax on t h e rece i pt o f t h e i r di vidends in January, wall „ saved the three months' tax incurred b,tween that p e riod Or ;xpril.
