FRENCH PAPERS. From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.) Extract of a letter from Geneva, dated the 4th inst. : " General Romarino and his small Polish and Piedmon tese staff are in flight. His troops, being completely dis. heartened, and reduced to little more than 200 men, retired yesterday morning upon our territory, between the villages of /MY and Cheney Thorex. Being surrounded by a detachment of our guard, they consented, after some re sistance, to lay down their arms, but positively opposed being embarked for the canton of Vaud. Shortly after wards a crowd of their partisans, who arrived from Geneva, Carrouga, and the surrounding communes, encou. raged their audacity, and, breaking through the opposition of the military force, they marched tumultuously towards Geneva, where their unexpected appearance occasioned considerable alarm. The agitators had evidently reckoned upon their arrival to excite an insurrection. Nevertheless the column, whether from prudential or any other mo tives, contented itself with passing through the town and proceeding, followed by an immense rrailtitude of the people, to Carrouga, a small town, about a quarter of a league beyond, where they passed the night. Every measure of security was taken by our Government, which was fully warranted by the threats of these foreigners, and their fanatical partisans in the can ton. The corps of militia most to be relied on was posted at the Hotel de Ville and the adjacent quarters, to protect the Government from a sudden surprise, as was intended, but which was prevented by the vigilance of the autho rities. Romarino's troop, augmented by about 200 Poles end Italians, who had remained at Carrouga as a rear guard, during the expedition into Savoy, will no doubt be et:rammed to diverse and quit the territory immediately on the arrival Of a corps from Vaud, which is bourty expected. Our Government, during the three days which preceded the invasion of the Poles, received suc reBsive.V from Zurich, Berne, and Laos tnne, official in fo:merlon that a corps of Polhill, Italian, and German refugees, amounting to about 700 men, were proceeding by two different routes, and in small squads of five or six men each, towards the territory of Geneva, in order to enter Savoy in arm.. This expedition would have been entirely prevented if the several authorities of the towns in Vaud, where their embarkation took place, had been more vigilant and resolute. These facts, now amply proved, form a sufficient answer to the im postures of our radical journals, who have had the audacity to accuse our Government of having enticed these foreigners upon our territory, in order to en trap them. Every thing, however, shows that a popular revolution in Geneva was connected with the expedition into Savoy, and that the arrival of the refugees was to be Poe signal for its being attempted." Another letter from Geneva, of the same date, has the following Ro marino's corps being nearly surrounded by a squadron of Piedmontese dragoons, dispersed, and fell hack upon our territory. General Romarino was accused of treachery by hie own men, and would have been inevitably sacrificed, Lot Tor the presence of a detachment of our guards. The authorities, who proceeded to the spot, had great diffi culty in inducing the men to lay down their arms. It was intended to embark them immediately for the canton of Vaud, in pursuance of their own expressed wishes to be sent to France. for which country many of them de clared they had passports, hue they were forced to yield to the wishes of the people of the town of Carrouga, which formerly belonged to Savoy who carried off the foreigners to pass the night within their walls. Orders, however, have been given for them to be sent to the Canton of Vaud. General Romarino escaped alone ; but it is not known what direction he has taken. He had engaged the Polish G-nerals Roman Soltyk, Schneider, and Czacki to join him at Geneva." The Europe Centrale of Geneva, of the sth inst Int, states that the intention of Romarino and his adherents was, first, to niaka themselves masters of St. Julien, in Savoy, the eeat of an Intendance, where there were not more than 400 men, including thirty of cavalry. " Upon reaching Villagrand, however," it adds, " the discontent of the soldiers increased, and, in the even ing, the General was obliged to change his position. They drew near the frontier, and stationed themselves on a height, where they held a council of war, at which all the causes of discouragement were exaggerated by the General himself, and he went so far as to propose that the corps should disband. A report of this advice having got abroad, the men who had engaged in the cause became indignant. Romarino, finding his life in danger, took shelter in a house built across the frontier line, from which he esciprd through a window into the territory of Geneva." "We learn that the boat stationed at Coppet was yesterday towed by the Guillaume Tell to Rolle, where the refugees have only changed one prison for an other, since they have been shut up in the Castle, and are guarded by two battalions of th e m iliti a o f Vaud." The Sentinelle des Pyrennees of Bayonne of the 4th inst. has the following :—" General Castagnon has re signed his command to General Beitron. He set out on the Ist instant for Tolosa, where he is waiting the return of the battalion commanded by El Pastor, who is in pur suit of the Carlists under Lardizahal, at Lizarra, in Navarre, about one league from Tolosa. El Pastor is to accompany General Castagnon as far as Vittoria. We have received the following of the 27th ult. from Aldudes. A column of 3.000 of the Queen's troops, commanded by General Valdes, entered the Bastan yesterday, and Segas tibelza marched off in the direction of the valley of Urzama. Ethurralde, who had been in the Ratan with the 4th battalion, composed of 1,000 men, and had served as an escort to the Junta for the last month, moved to-day into the mountains which divide our commune from Spain, with a view to join the Ist and 211 battalions, which are at Ahescoa. The Spaniards who inhabit the extreme frontier continue sending into this commune their catttle and other effects, in order that they may be safe from the depredations of the soldiery of both parties. General Queseda has entered Vittoria at the head of 4,000 men." The Augsburg Gazette of the 4th inst. contains the following from Berlin, dated the 25th ult.:—" We begin already to feel the good effects of our commercial union with the greatest part of Germany. The activity of our iron works and cotton factories in the Rhenish Provinces and Westphalia is considerably increased, and, should it continue, it is hoped they will soon succeed in discarding their English competitors from the markets of Germany. This would be a retaliation for the injury which the Bri tish corn laws have done to the agriculture and trade of Northern Germany. The promotion of M. Bench, who first conceived the idea of a railroad from the Rhine to Antwerp, has given general satisfaction." The Gazette has also the following, of the 24th, from Leipaic :—" The quantity of French and English goods accumulated here is immense. Were the holders called upon to pay the iltries they have evaded, many would be thrown into considerable embarrassment. Fortunately, the Government looks on with indulgence. The adhesion of Saxony to the Prussian system of commerce cannot but favour the consumption of the productions of numerous factories in our well-peopled districts, where manufactures can be wrought at a much lower rate than at Elberfeld, or any other part of Rhenish Prussia ; it is, therefore, surprising that at a moment so favourable, companies should be formine in those districts, for the purpose of emigrating to North America. A so ciety of this kind will arrive here in the spring, with the intention of proceeding to East Florida, to establish a settlement in one of the districts most favoured by nature." This journal announces, under d ate of Rome, Jan. 25, that at the late priva.e Consistory the Pope created 20 bisl ops, and M. Luigi Ciacohi was named Governor of Rome. It has also the following from Vienna, dated the 30th ult. :—" At the first general meeting of the Rail way Company, on the 20th, it appeared that, in the 10 months elapsed since its establishment, there was a clear profit of 68,047 florins, conventional money, after paving all expenses, so that already the capitalists receive 5 per cent. interest. Our funds to-day are Metalliques, 5 per Cents., 95 7-16 ; 4 per Cents., ditto, 85 : Bank Ac tions 1,216-i." The Berlin State Gazette, of the 2d inat., quotes Prussian 4 per Cents., 97i 97 ; ditto, 5 per Cents. (1822), English Lamp, 1031 103. The Journal de Smyrne contains the following extract of a letter from Syra, dated the 13th December;—'' Let ten received here from Nauplia state the trials of the Colocotrini, father and son, Coliopulus, and others, bad begun ; nothing, however, was known as to the probable result of these proceedings. The police was abroad, exercising its surveillance over several persons sus• pected of having taken part in this conspiracy. The esta blishment of a quarantine has given another blow to the trade of Syra, and unless the Regency takes some mea sures to relieve the present distress, severe sufferings will f.ll upon this late flourishing island. Several persons have gone already to settle in Ipsara, and other emigrants are spoken of." This journal has also the following from Alexandria, dated the 24th of November :—" Our ship building is not so actively carried on at this moment, be cause funds are wanting. Th e P ac h a enterta i ns the hope of possessing a strong navy, although there is difficulty in obtaining sailors, as they will be levied here as soldiers are. As Mehemet Ali has rejected the loan offered him by Rothschild's house, the terms appearing to him too bur densome, he is now about to contract one with M. Aguado in Paris. The sum is 20,000,000 of francs, to be paid within a year in the productions of Egypt, This negoti tt'on is conducted by M. Jouffre, who has recently arrived from Paris. All exportation of provisions is strictly for. bidden, which is likely to be the case for some time, owing to the demands of the army and the failure of this year's crops. The French ship of war Eclipse, which brought despatches from Turkey to M. Mimaut, will return to France with the answer of that diplomatist." FRENCH FUNDS.-PAurs, FEB. 7.

The water is everywhere progres sively falling. The Amsterdam Handeladad gives the following ex tract of a letter from Batavia of the 18th of October last : " M. Jacobson, inspector of the cultivation of tea in Java, has assured me that he is fully convinced that in a few years a whole cargo of tea, prepared entirely in the Chinese fashion, may be exported from this place to the mother country. The skill and z-al of this gentleman cannot be suffici-ntly extolled. At the hazard of his life, he has re repeatedly brought hither from China Chinese labourers, and millions of tea plants, and numerous machines neves siry in the preparation of the tea ; and has formed many plantations of tea which are extremely Sou-fishing."

PETERSBURGH, JAN. 18.—His Majesty the Em peror, by an Ukase of 26th Nov. last year, ordered (by the advice of the Ministerial Committee), that during the continuance of the scarcity of corn, prevailing in almost the whole empire, it shall he allowable to distil brandy from beet-root and potatoes. The consequences of the failure of the crops list autumn are at present not much felt here and in the vicinity, but they already manifest themselves in the provinces of the nation, and will be more severely experienced there and bete also in the spring ; they will have an injurious effect on all our internal trade. Most of the Northern Governments where there was abundance of r tin in the summer have had a pretty good harvest ; the Government of Moscow and the Baltic pro vinces have had an abundant harvest. In all those more favoured districts the Government purchases large quanti ties of corn, particularly rye, at moderate latices, and while the navigation was open, large supplies were im ported from foreign countries. All the corn so purchased is deposited in magazines in the southern provinces, and sold to the indigent inhabitants at the prime cost. STOCKHOLM, JAN. 24.—Lieutenant-General Church, who is appointed Ambassador from the King of Greece to the Court of St. Petersburgh, will come here to compli ment our King in the name of his Sovereign. As the Greek Government has expressed a wish to take some of our naval officers into its service, and his Majesty has declared his willingness to assent to this proposal, three Swedish and two Norwegian officers are to be selected for the purpose. The day after to-morrow our King, who enjoys perfect health and uncommon bodily strengtb, completes the '7oth year of his age. Gottenburg Journals, which have announced the send ing of several gun-boats to the fortress of Karsten (Mars trend), now add, that news has been brought by a courier that more troops have been ordered thither, and that great exertions are making to strengthen the fortifications. These two circumstances excite curiosity and alarm. Must it not appear to the uninitiated that a surprise is ap prel,ended ? An attempt by England and France, in case of a war bet ween these Powers and Russia, to obtain pos session of that important port in the Cattegat ; and how must Sweden be situated with respect to these two Powers, if there can be any just ground to suspect such an attempt? How could the English and French Go vernments conceive the idea of such a project, unless they considered Sweden as the ally of Russia, or even as acting entirely in the Russian interest? If Sweden were Russia, such a step might be accounted for. On every other supposition, it would he a monstrous violation of the law of nations. All the alarming notions which are everywhere heard are seconded by the arena merits in the marine, which can be meant only against tie maritime powers, and also by the fact that at this moment, when there is an evident coolness between Russia and England and France, neither of the two latter powers has an Ambassador at Stockholm. We therefore repeat what we have already said, that, under these circum stances, it is touch to be desired that some words to allay their apprehensions may be inserted in the forthcoming Speech from the Throne.—Nya Argus.

It was proposed for the young Prince to come over with his royal brother in May last; but it is under stood that the King of the French, for some reason or other, postponed the visit of his second son until the pre sent year. The Duke of Orleans, accompanied by a few select savans, it is said, will set out on a tour of the United States when the spring is further advanced. Mr. Brooke has communicated an interesting paper on the Mahavillaganga river, well known as the largest stream in the island of Ceylon :—" It takes its rise from the mountains in the Kandyan country, and after encircling tke city of Kandy, flows in an easterly direction almost as far as Brntenne, when it bends suddenly to the northward, and after running some distance, divides into two streams, one filling into the great bay of T, inco malee, the other, which is called the Virgel, into the sea, twenty-five miles southward of Trincomalee. * * A bridge has been recently thrown over the M a havillaganga, at Peradenia, consisting of a single arch (principally of eaten-wood), of two hundred and five feet span. The roadway is twenty feet wide, and its height above the river at low water-mark about sixty-seven feet. The arch is composed of four treble ribs tranoversely distant from each other five feet from centre to centre. The arch corn mencerl in the middle of July, 1832. Tne centering wit struck on the first of October, and the roadway wa completed before the first of January, 1833. This bridg, was designed and set up under the superintendence of Lieut.-Colonel Fraser, deputy quartermaster•general of the forces in Ceylon." MISS EDGEWORTH'S NEW WORK.

We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the extracts, in another page, from our Pro vincial Contemporaries, acknowledging the suc cess of our efforts in diffusing the earliest intelligence with respect to the meeting of Parliament. At the head of these will be found a very handsome testimonial from his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND, by the hands of his Secretary, Mr. MONTGO MERY. Next to the satisfaction of having suc ceeded in our best endeavours, is the generous acknowledgment of those who appreciate our exertions. We have already so fully expressed out sen timents on the case of Mr. SHELL and others implicated in the charge, that it is hardly ne cessary to add a word more on the subject. The House of Commons can refuse a Committee of Inquiry, but can they do so with justice i❑ the present crisis ? The only alternative is an explanation on the part of the Hon. Member. If he has made use of any hasty expression which would give a colouring to the charge against him, let him admit it at once. He should have done so at the commencement. It would have come with a better grace then, and would have had twice the effect, but still it is better to give it now than to be forced to it by an inves tigation. If he is totally innocent of the charge, then his only course is to demand a full and fair inquiry. The affair of ROMARINO and his associates, at the Lake of Geneva, appears utterly incom prehensible ; and out of mercy to them we can attribute it only to pure madness. What chance had a handful of foreigners against the whole of the Sardinian army, backed by the tens of thou sands of Austrians in Lombardy ? Every one of the great powers, too, would have at once taken part against the intruders, and considered themselves justified in assisting the King of SAR. DINIA in putting down an insurrection planned and carried into effect by foreigners. Inde pendently of the hopelessness of the cause, the conduct of the party excites feelings of a more painful nature—it shows a want of gratitude on the part of the Poles, and will afford grounds for their merciless oppressor to in. crease further his severity. Owing to their restless disposition, which we hardly credited at the time, they were obliged to leave France. They were received with kindness and hospitality by the Swiss, who thereby incurred the dis pleasure of Austria and Russia, and this act of kindness they have returned by implicating their protectors in the quarrel. The regret is dimi nished only by the reflection that the authors of this rash enterprise form but a small portion of the exiles, and that they were reduced to a state of despair, which made them look on any change as a relief. Their enemies, however, will regard their conduct in a very different tight ; but, what is of more consequence, it will afford Russia a pretext for her barbarous po licy, and what she will consider an unanswerable reply to the solicitations of their friends in England and France. We trust, however, that these powers will not slacken their endeavours in behalf of that unhappy people, on account of the indiscretion of a few adventurers. It is with great pain we observe that the same barbarous mode of warfare is still persevered in by the contending forces in Portugal. At the taking of Leyria nearly the whole of the garri son was put to the sword, and a similar atro cious scene took place on the 25th ult. on the the capture of Torres Novas by SALDANHA. The place was occupied by about 200 horse and 200 foot, all of whom, with the exception of 78, were put to death by the assailants. The determination to refuse quarter was such that the General had difficulty in saving even that number. Such is the fatal animosity excited by civil war ! Foreign nations fight with one another according to certain laws of honour, which are but too often disregarded by domestic factions, and their relentless dispositions is only another proof of the awful responsibility in curred by those who recklessly incite people of the same country to arms. MIGUEL has thus obtained another claim to the eternal hatred of his countrymen, and added to the long list of his crimes. What destruction of property, what individual suffering and loss of life, have been caused by the perfidious and treacherous conduct of one man New York Papers, to the 17th of January, have been received, by which we learn that. re solutions approving of the withdrawal of the Government Deposits from the United States Bank had almost unanimously passed the House of Assembly—the numbers being 118 to 9. The French papers contain some account of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the 7th, when the discussion on the street-criers was resumed, the object of which is to place under the control of Government the hawkers and street-venders of stamped and unstamped publications. The law was opposed with con siderable energy and eloquence by the Members of the Liberal party, but it was ultimately voted, and every amendment proposed rejected. The German Papers contain no intellegence of moment. VIENNA, JAN. 30.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 95 7-16 ; Four per Cent., 85 ; Bank Shares, 1,2161.-4/Igen:eine Zeitung, Feb. 4. We have given in another part of The Sun copious accounts of the progress of affairs in Portugal up to the 2d instant. It appears that the forces of Don PEDRO are carrying everything before them. A very decisive victory was obtained by Gen. SALDANHA on the 30th of January over a body of 4,000 Miguelites who were totally put to the rout with the loss of about 1,000 prisoners—and all the materiel of war. It was expected that a very little time indeed would put a period to such barbarous and deso lating hostilities. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERILL V. ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE The LORD CHANCELLOR was engaged during the morning in hearing the resumed arguments in a plea and demurrer in this matter, upon an appeal from the judgment of his Honour the Vice Chancellor, which overruled the same. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings before the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury. THE KING V. MONTPRIVAT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Sergeant ADAMS) stated the case for the prosecution. It was an indict ment at the instance of the Rt. Hon. the Earl and Countess Cornwallis, charging the defendant, Richard Montprivat, with publishing several libels reflecting upon the honour and chastity of her Ladyship. The learned Counsel at considerable length went into the early history of her Ladyship, whose maiden name was Laura Hayes, up to the period of her marriage with the noble Earl. The defendant had married a sister of her Ladyship's named Caroline Hayes, and being in indifferent cir cumstances her Ladyship was in the habit of allowing them about 50/. a-year. The defendant, however, doubtless with a view of obtaining more money, was the means of circulating re ports highly prejudicial to her honour. Those attacks were first made before the marriage between Lord C. and Miss L. Hayes, and they seemed to have been circulated in order to prevent the anticipated marriage, but they had not the desired effect. They were continued still stronger after the marriage, and after the defendant's first wife was dead, and when, in consequence of his marrying another sister of her Ladyship, it was deemed necessary to have no further communication with him. lhe Jury would perceive what were the defendant's motives in writing the letters in question, in which the grossest calumnies were aimed at the character of this noble lady—a lady of the strictest honour, who was greatly beloved by all who had the pleasure of her friendship—who possessed the most humane and charitable disposition, and who now, because the defendant had married his first wife's sister, chose to attack her honour and virtue. The Learned Counsel then read the letters and documents. They were addressed to different persons—to Lord Cornwallis, to Lady Jemima Martin, and to Chas. Johnson, Esq., of the post office. They spoke of rumours being afloat of Lord Corn. wallis's improper intimacy with Laura Hayes previous to their marriage, of her having been before then in keeping by a gen. tleman by whom she had a child, &c. They stated that her Ladyship had grossly ill-used him (the defendant), and that unless she did him common justice, and also unless Lord Corn wallis would take some steps, he should publish a complete statement of all the circumstances, and forward copies to the Queen, to the other members of the Royal Family, to the Mar quis of Westminster, and to several other eminent persons, as well as to all those who knew the Countess. The libels reached down to 1832. Mr. Edward Moore examined by Mr. Sergeant ADAMS— I am a clergyman, living at Norwood, in which precinct is Southall. I know the defendant; I have had letters from him. The paper dated the 11 th December, 1832, is in his hand writing. (The other letters and documents, read by Sir James Scarlett, were also stated by the witness to be in the defendant's handwriting.) Cross-examined by defendant—l never saw you write, but have received letters from you, about which I have spoken to you afterwards. Defendant—Were you not employed to get back a daughter of mine for me ? Witness—Why, that is a very curious question, and I don't know what it has to do with this case. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said, that question had nothing to do with this inquiry. The defendant said it would show the aggravation he had received. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said they had nothing to do at present but with respect to the handwriting. —. ... . The libels were then put in and read. - Witness cross-examined by defendant—l don't know that Lady Cornwallis ever said she had a daughter named Maria. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said that had nothing to do with the case. The defendant said it had been asserted that he had sold his aild Maria to the Opera-house people. His Lordship said it could not be received at this stage of the proceedings. The only evidence he could receive was, that the defendant did not publish the letters, or that he pub lished them in some privileged manner. Mrs. Elizabeth Welsh stated, that she lived at Southall, and knew the family of Hayes. Miss Laura Hayes is now Lady Cornwallis; Miss Caroline Hayes married a person named Montprivat, but witness did not know him. Miss Caroline died some years ago, and her sister Julia married the same person. Witness had never seen Montprivat. Miss Laura visited her elder sister Emily at Southall occasionally. Cross-examined—Witness acted as agent for Lady Corn wallis. Defendant—Did she ever write to you that I had been a paramour to my own wife ? The Loan CIIIEF JUSTICE held that to be an improper question. By Sir J. ScaaLErr—Was agent to her Ladyship in paying money to her sisters before and since her Ladyship's marriage. By defendant—Could not tell how long before her mar riage, but it was some considerable time. The defendant addressed the Court at some length, contend ing that Lady Cornwallis had grossly ill-used him, and he said it was strange, if any thing he had done had been improper, that no proceedings were taken until several years had elapsed. He had offered to give up his authors, and they were the per sons who ought to be proceeded against; for all that he had done was to request Lord Cornwallis, and the other friends of the Lady, to take some steps to clear the character of her Ladyship frour the aspersions that were rumoured against her. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up, the Jury immediately found the defendant Guilty. THE KING V. RICHARD INIONTVRIVAT AND JOHN JOSEPH STOCKDALF.. Sir JAMES SCA RLETT stated this case also, which was an in. dictment, charging the same defendant, as in the previous case, together with John Joseph Stockdale, with a conspiracy, in threatening the Earl of Cornwallis that they would publish certain false and inflammatory libels against the character of his Countess, unless the Earl gave them money. The Learned Counsel detailed the same circumstances as in the previous case, with the addition that since January, 1832., the defendant, finding that all his previous applications and threats had not the effect of inducing the Earl of Cornwallis to accede to his wishes, got as his partner in the transaction the co-operation of the other defendant, whose name as a publisher of certain works was not unknown in the Court. He then react letters to show the unity of the object of the two defendants, and then asked the Jury if they could find any distinction between a highway man, who met his victim on the road, put a pistol to his breast, and demanded his purse, and a man who, standing be hind his counter, and that powerful engine—the press—to rob his victim of a character that was dear to him. The case was proceeding when our reporter left. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN and a Common Jury.) LIABILITY OF NEWSVENDERS FOR THE CONTENTS OF A PAPER DICAS V. ONWHYN, The pleadings in this case were opened by Mr. GUNNING. Mr. Sergeant BOMPASS stated the case. He said that though the case was one of libel, it was brought against the defendant for publishing merely, but as he proceeded to lay the case be fore the Jury, he trusted they would discharge from their minds all notice of any former actions, and try that case as it stood on the record. If it had been the case of a newsvender selling a paper in the ordinary course of his trade, he (Mr. Sergeant Bompass) would have considered it a very hard case; but here it was the case of a man still conti nuing to sell a paper after he had received notice of its general character for libelling, nay, he had sold a particular paper after notice had been given him that it actually contained a libel, and therefore, having thus made himself liable to the penalties of the law, must abide by his own acts. The libels now complained of were to be found in the Satirist. Had that paper been one of merely a political character, that action would never have been heard of; but the very name of the paper told what it was, and ought to have rendered defendant cautious. If it had been confined to satire, in the proper acceptation of the word, to a fair and just satire upon public men, then there would have been no cause or ground of complaint. But the word bore another meaning, and if any one read the libel, they would at once see that that was the one which the editor of this paper put upon it. It was, in fact, a paper started upon a speculation, and it had forced for itself a very large cir culation by base and cowardly attacks, without limit, upon the character of private individuals. If a man willingly sold a paper of such a sort, and after a notice given him to that effect, he had no right then to complain of hardship in being brought before the Court. The libel complained of, was contained in the Satirist of the 9th September, 18.32, and arose out of a transaction in which the plaintiff had no more to do than merely his duty. Sometime before the present• libel appeared, a person named Bluck had felt aggrieved at some attacks upon him in the same paper, and employed Mr. Dicas as his attorney to prosecute the parties at the Westminster Sessions by indict.. ment for the libels. It was for merely doing his duty in his profes. sional character, which he was bound to do, that a series of the most atrocious libels appeared against him from week to week. He (Mr. Sergeant B.) had already had his share of abuse from them; no doubt his Lordship, if his conduct should not please them, would also come under the lash, and if the Soli citor-General should fail in obtaining a verdict, neither would he escape. The Learned Sergeant then read the libels of the 9th of September, in which the prosecutors of the paper were called " our worthless and degraded enemies, whose stock in trade was perjury, conspiracy, plunder, depravity, &c." It was a very long article and all in the same strain, and was headed " Ourselves, the Gamblers, and the Black Sheep." The Learned Sergeant continued—lt was easy by a little perjury for the Editor of a Paper to escape—in that in stance, a man of straw, not worth a farthing, was found, who was put forth as the responsible person ; formerly a person named Thompson was the ostensible man, but when a verdict was found against him, then to prison he went and not a farthing of reparation was ever obtained—the paper changed hands and the same abuse was carried on; now a woman was put forth as proprietor, he supposed in the hopes that she would not be sent to prison. It might be said, " You have the property to seize," but no, there again things were so managed that that was impossible—the paper was printed by hired type that was not available, the paper was sent in over night, and before the morning was distributed amongst the newsvenders. Then what other course had the plaintiff open to him than to put a stop to the sale of the paper in which he was so abused? For that purpose, on the 31st Aug., he had caused a printed handbill to be distributed amongst all the venders of papers, warning them of the consequences of selling a paper containing libels, and telling them of the bills which had been found at Westminster ; yet, o 4 the very Sunday after, the defendant had up by the side of his door what was called a broadside, which was the placard of contents, announcing the Satirist for sale, and in it, in large letters, was this, " Law devils, Dicas again and again." The defend ant, and this was after the notice, could not have gone out of his door without seeing that libel. The parties had always plenty of money to defend themselves, but when compensation was awarded by a jury, there was not a farthing forthcoming. What other course could the plaintiff take after such repeated failures in getting redress, and while the libels were still continued, than to do as he now did, bring forward an offender who had so grossly insulted him in sending forth such gross libels after such repeated warning as had been given him? The question then came to this, " What compen sation would the Jury give to that man who had been so held up to the world as plaintiff had been—a man who had acted as defendant had done ?" for no other way was left for a stop being put to the series of libels which the paper weekly sent forth. The Learned Sergeant then read and commented upon the other libels which were contained in the same paper of the 14th July, 1833, and the 26th January of the present year. He concluded by calling upon the Jury to give such exemplary damages as would put a stop to so vile a persecntion, the more especially as from all former verdicts, the plaintiff had never recovered a single farthing either of the damages or costs. John Dicas, sworn—Was son of the plaintiff, whose family at the time of the libels consisted of four daughters and two sons. On the second of September last year he went to the " Satirist" office and distributed the printed caution to every one who went in, and served one on the defendant about eight o'clock that morning. On the 9th he went to defendant's shop, where he saw a broadside of the Satirist on the front of the shop, and he bought from a woman in it a paper which con tained the libel complained of. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Knew that plaintiff was a general news-vender, and had seen all sorts of Sunday papers in his shop, and there were many broadsides put up alongside of that for the Satirist. He bought the Satirist on that day, by his father's directions, from four or five other persons. His father had not brought a tenth part of 84 ac tions, but had heard him say so. On the Monday went round to all the newspaper-venders with notices not to sell the Satirist, but he did not attempt to buy any. His father had prac tised in Holywell, in Flintshire, before that in Manchester, and again afterwards had come to practice in London in 1825 and 1826. Never heard him say that he had spent three years in a particular building at Lancaster. A newsvender named Goldwin, also one named Warne, were in goal for this libel. The latter hadbeen five months in prison, and Goldwin went up to-day to take the benefit of the Act. His father had been once bank rupt and once took the benefit of the Act. Mr. Lewis had lent plaintiff 1001., and the judgment against the Satirist had been left with him. Re-examined by Sergeant BOMPASS —His father had suc ceeded in three actions, but had never got one penny of the verdicts. Frederick Pont purchased the Satirist of the 14th of July, at Mr. Onwhyn's shop. Cross-examined--Was an attorney. There was no connec tion between him and Dicas. He had known him twelve or fifteen months. Benjamin Crowther purchased a Satirist of the 26th of Jan. last at defendant's shop. Had been at the shop since, and he continued to sell the Satirist. vv Cross-examined—Was a coal and potatoe merchant. Mr. Dicas had a case of his in hand, and he asked him to buy the paper. Napoleon Aldridge proved that Dicas was an attorney on the rolls of the King's Bench since 1803. It was also proved that he was admitted of the Exchequer and the Pleas. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then rose to address the jury for the defendant, lie said he was under considerable embarrass ment, fur he had never addressed a jury in a more Important cause. He agreed with his Learned Friend the Ser geant, and rejoiced to hear it from him, that there was no tribunal so fit for the case as a jury ; and he also trusted that that he had the honour of addressing would show to the country a display of right feeling. When he heard the stre nuous exertions of the Sergeant, he almost blushed for him, for there was not a more honourable man at the bar and but few more talented—but yet he appeared there as the representative of a man, and a cause, for whom and which, in his heart, he must blush. He was acting in the discharge of his duty as became an advocate, but he (the Solicitor-General) was sorry that that duty had been as painful as it must have been—as it was to him, to see any member of. the profession to which he belonged so engaged. Mr. Sergeant Bompass interrupted the Learned Solicitor_ General, and avowed that his feelings were in perfect unison with the case. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was still more sorry that it had come to that pass, that a man who was so honourable shou'd feel it his duty to enlist his feeling in a cause which every man but himself must consider infamous—that an advocate shoul, so entirely absorb himself in a cause as to forget both the feel_ ings of a man and a gentleman, and pledge his own private sentiments for those of his client, and that in a cause which, if he was not engaged in, he would be the first to spurn at and condemn. Mr. Sergeant BOMPASS very warmly appealed to the Court 4 whether the learned gentleman had any right to use 10 , ' 1 language. llo' The S OLIC ITOR -GENERAL did not in any one 0 .. . ev 4 observat i ons , mean anyt hin g p ersonal to his .d friend ; if they bore such a construction, he ni, at once retract the m, but he must once more lament th,b, saw any member of the bar placed in such a situation as 0 'cO d by their zeal carried off in the advocacy of a cause wilt their cooler moments they would abhor —in a cause which': so unworthy of the advocacy of such an honourable OL. He would not in the course of his address attempt to traceT. history of Mr. Picas. He would confine himself to the P. sular question before them ; and if they looked at his coatoi;, in the transaction, they would find that healad covered or self with dishonour and disgrace. He not bring ~,I, action for the purpose of clearing his character —even his !If ous advocate said it was for money it was instituted, for le i. ; l 0 as he had yet gone, he had met with nothing but disapP;,, ment. Now he (the Solicitor- G enera l) did thin k it one :11%,; most discreditable things a man could do, to try end ~.AtV his character into money; and a man who could be 0. young Mr. Picas (and he was most sorry to of it deserved the scorn and execration of his fell° W !,. e /s! were so many of them—it was most lamentable) ha d beet a e into the box, and he said he had heard his father say the r . e deo ce , eighty-four actions for this same libel, but now the e vi , v di was that there were not near so many. Therefore Mr. x; oj was not to be believed even against himself. honouru t ,_ A in mind of a story he heard when he had the V:,,, the same circuit as his Lordship. A man was tried before o'e A. M'Donald for pocket-picking, which he acknowledge'.,4 Jury, however, some how or other found him 6 , Not GO _, 0 and the Judge ordered him to be gone, for his character vila'..g, bad that the Jury would not believe his word even against 1007.„ So it was in the present case, every honest and honourableolo; should address Mr. D. in the same way. It turned ou t ~,,e that only six actions had been brought in place of S4----ura of these had been tried, and the three persons had been fora from their families and thrown into prison because they_n not satisfy Mr. Dicas's greedy maw with costs. 5° 4 , would be with many more if the Jury were to hear that io: turn a verdict that day for the plaintiff; More svuunlj, dragged from their homes and possibly their families se _, the workhouse. He would fearlessly ask whether it bad '',gl been before heard of that a newsvender was to be liable for ) ; I , the contents of all the newspapers which passed throne' foi hands ? What had he to do with the contents ? it was pi trade his calling, and he wou ld as soon supply any one of • 1 Jury with the Times as the Post, the John Bull or the Age, the Satirist. There were 1,200 in the metropolis ,;0. p arriedc on the same trade, who cared for nothing that ,4" ipes contained, and knew perhaps no more of the lit e:, matter that was in it than the mint` ho made the paper. lie'ri him that he should make himself acquainted with the contenodi all that he sold, or that he should be at the expense of kee l ,n merely acting in his vocation, an iould be too much to eXPO, o r a special pleader, such as his Learned Friend, i n order 0 he might be sure he was comm itting no breach of the , law. in what a situation would he place the trade I, trad e ! newspapers. Why it would put an end to the t or takesa how long he might them entirely, and the people must make ~o_,.eiged minds, to give up all that information they novi re',,,dtt (the Solicitor-General) would not become from them. An action might just as well be 1 0 . 15 against the mail guard for libel; he might carrY n o st bag a libel against the present defendant, and y et n lig Act was brought by a member s of the law, one who WW I fle declaration boasted that he was now on the it oll * 0 1 a P rophe t, ii struck upon himself to say that that day upon which. he off the Rolls would be one of a was a most scandalousht purigc very great P his pr od of the law.
