EVENING SUN RUSSIAN T YRANNY-A ROMAN. TIC STORY. (From L' A udiace.) At a recent sitting of the Criminal Court of Tambof, a province of Russia, 283 peasants were tried on a charge of putting to death a Russian noble, under circumstances of a shocking but ro mantic character, of which the following are the details • On the evening i n quest i on a ll was merr i men t ip the,.chateau of Sokolin-Slaw. Gaiety and fes tivity were the order of the day. Around a table richly and plentifully supplied with the choicest viands sat twelve young officers wearing the costume of the Straroduburo regiment. The owner of the chateau (M. Meerzcloff), aged about 22, had assembled his comrades to celebrate, in a manner worthy the occasion, a piece of good fortune wh i ch had happened to him, and to co - ntnence with gaiety the enjoyment of an immense patrimony, of which he had just conic into possession. An other gla s s of champagne," said Mcerzeloff, tak ing up the bottle, and pouring forth its Rark!ing contents. _ _ _ --- ;:iothe health of the child of fortune," cried all around, as they followed his example is filling their glasses. "In good faith," said one of the guests, ".good cheer is a good thing, but we are Wanting at this moment in the greatest charm of human life." " What is that ?" demanded the aniphytrion. " The ladies," was the reply. " the ladies !" re-echoed all around, " They are not . wanting," said the h os t. " Behold those yo ung beauties. They shall be to you as the houris of this teirestriai paradise." He pointed as he spoke, and twelve young females were seen entering the chamber, singing in chorus the favourite airs of the country. The little of reason which remained to the host and his guests now disappeared entirely. At the dessert the male attendants were dismissed, and Slteizeleff, who declared that he was deter mined to make his old comrades happy, directed each of his guests to choose the one of the band of singers is hich was most to his taste. Accustomed from the cradle to a blind obe dience, awl well assured that they should find nei ther protection nor defence among the serfs of Sokolin-Slaw, the poor girls upon whoni the choice of the officers fell quietly submitted to their fate, with one single exception, namely, that of Maryna, the most beautiful of them all, who, taking advan tage of the moment, fled from the castle, and di rected her steps towards the country. " What is this ?" cried Meerzeloff, on hearing the rumour of her flight, " what savage dare shake off' my yoke ? kej-Ivan ! Alexis ! fly in pursuit of Maryna, and let her be brought back without delay." One of the men to whom this order was given was the bro ther of Maryna, end the other her affianced hus band. They obeyed his commands, however, as they were compelled to do, and went after the fu gitive like dogs in pursuit of game, and ten minutes had scareely elapsed before poor Maryna was brought back pale, trembling, and bedewed with teats. But as soon as she was restored to the castle Marynr and the other damsels were arrayed in gorgeous dresses, and decorated with a profu sion of gems and flowers ; and, night having ar rived, commenced in a saloon refulgent with light one of those brutal orgies which the Russian nobles, with their half savage ideas, call a " Supper of Eden." By midnight the sound of music had ceased in the chateau. Time of the serfs whose duties did not keep ahem at theit p had dispersed in the village. Kej-Ivan and Alexis, the brother and lover of Marvna, had retired to a cabaret, where, to chase; away the thoughts that disturbed them, they were dri n ki ng f ree ly. During this time Maffa, the favourite of Meer zeloff, was btirning with jealousy. 11cr master had not allowed her to go down to the banquet, lest her beauty should have attracted the attention of the other officers. Site had, however, notwith standing this, been a witness of the " drama of love," and, enraged beyond measure at what she beheld, resolved to be revenged upon her faithless lord and lover. She accordingly went to the cabaret where Kej-Ivan and Alexis were drinking, and reproached them with their want of spirit, saying, " Base wretches ! you sit here drinking while robbed of your sister and your wife !" They denied that they were the base connivers at their own dishonour. They were rather the victims their tyrannical lord. Mafia continued to taunt: them until they became greatly incensed, and were on the point of ill treating her ; hut she said, " For shame ! rather be the avengers of sour own wrongs than the assassins of a helpless woman," and con tinued to work upon their fetlings until she at length made them swear that they would take no rest until Meerzeloff had fallen under their aven ging hands. " Vengeance I" now became the cry, and in less than half an hour that cry was repeated by a band of 400 peasants who had been assembled by Kej-Ivan and his friend. In about three hours after this, and just before the dawn of day, while the occupants of the chateau were locked in the first embrace of sleep, a band of nearly 400 peasants, each bearing a truss of straw, surrounded the mansi on , whi c h, like most of th, e residences of the province of Tambof, was b u il t of, wood. At a given signal they set file to the fence which surrounded the chateau, and then re tiring to a distance, armed with muskets, axe.e pitchforks, and scythes, they waited until the Seig neur of Sokolin-Slaw and his guests should be aroused from their slumbers by the conflagration. Meerzeloff, the first alarmed by the light, rushed out and tried to clear the gate ; but the contents of a musket, which extended him upon the ground, told him what his guests had to expect. The lat ter presently appeared, sword in hand, resolved, if possible, to surmount the two-fold obstacle opposed to their escape by the flames and the infuriated band of peasants. A terrible and bloody encounter farm took place, in which the officers were fortunate enough to lose but one of their number, Captain ra!xiselg, and ultimately effected a retreat into a amatl wood, overcome with fatigue, their hair partly lwritt from theirleads, anti their clothes torn to flatters in the deadly encounter with the peasants. Four of their number were dangerously wounded. As soon as the officers had fled, the peasants ran to the rescue of the females, and then returned to gratify their feelings of revenge in the most savage manner. They made a tremendous fire of fir-wood, and as soon as it had become clear and bright threw the living body of the unhappy Meer zeloff into the midst of the glowing furnace. M.affa, repenting too late of her jealousy, in vain ssupplicated there to spare the yet breathing suf- . -ferer ; and in reply to het troublesome entreaties they actually took her and threw her into the flue after hint. They next proceeded to burn down the chateau, and to destroy every thing that had belosiged to its unfortunate owner. As soon as the occurrence reached the ears of the Emperor Nicholas, his Majesty ordered that a judicial inquiry should take place into the _circum stances of the case, and the result was the appre hension and trial of 283 of the peasants. The above facts haVing been detailed in evidence, the Tribunal condemned the prisoners in the first place to receive 100 blows of the knout—a punish-. meta almost equal to a sentence of death, since de l_ dow does more than one in ten -survive and, secondly, that all tire survivors should labour for life in th e m i nes o f Siberi-, .0e sent to The Emperor, in consideratior, of the cause and provocation of their offence, 7 .ats commuted the sen tence to banishment in tf..4 Caucasus ; and those capable of bearing arr as are to be enrolled in the Cossack regiment- or the line. A ~,, coi re• - . times the 4zondent wishes to inquire, " how many of eve ~ 4 ! t'ofice of the count can be seen in the course to i f,a s s 4 l 7 , y e eek by the superintendents ?" In relation et, though we cannot state how often the ntl6-rl o r l 3 (l . l ll t y vv, a , re seen by their superintendents in the csounty, m f ay leave our correspondent and our readers to judg e ing from Seln rum the fact, that in a district extend miles east ; Stapieftowrcelive. miles west; to Gonalston, ten six miles south ; to Oxton, nine miles north, there are onlyten policemen, and a popula- CAI of 70,000. One man has a circuit of at least twenty Mlles.—Nottingham Review. NOTTINGHAM DEPUTATION TO SIR ROBERT from PEEL.—We have obs2rved a report of be tween Sir Robert Peel and a deputation interview Notting ham, in which the latter are said to have recommended a fixed duty, and e ven to have supplied some e h i 'l d nts ed for making a shift with a sliding - scale. How far the report in question may be true or otherwise we can not pretend to say. We would guard ourselves in gene ral"from rifting too much faith in reports of interviews with Sfr Robert Peel. We think it right;' to prevent misapprehension, to state that the deputatitui was wholly unconnected with‘the League, and that not only can no person who sanctions a fixed duty or sliding- scale have any ri g ht t o ta k e upon hi mse lf t o represent its opinons, but he cannot with consistency profess to belong to our party.— Anti- Bread-Tax Circular. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TIIE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The following resolution, amongst others, was adopted at the impo r t a nt meeting, which we re port, at Birmingham :— " That this m eting rejoic es that the National Anti-Corn-law League have convened a meeting of deputies to assemble in London on the Bth of February ; and this meeting earnestly recom mends to the deputies, when assembled, to take prompt and efficient measures, irrespective of the course which may be pursued by the Government, for testing the opinions of the Members of the House of Commons on the total and immediate abolition of the Corn and Provision laws." It was also suggested that Deputies from the dif ferent associations throughout the country should attend the great general meeting on the Bth of next month. Aide toi, le . Ciel t'aidera. This is the tone forced on the Industrial Interest by the -Make-believe Ministry. Their measures are nOt patiently waited for by those whom monopoly pinches. Their intentions inspire no confidence in manufacturing towns—and they ought to inspire none. This is the tone which rejection of mo derate offers has drawn after it. We pray attention to the fact, and it is a-very remarkable one—that while this is the tone held in the great seats of our staple manufactures--the very partisans of the pre sent Government, one after the other, are making the amende honorable to the lite Ministerial plan of a fixed duty ! Yes—now that patience is exhausted in the suffering interests—nosy that concession will have lost its grace, moderation its efficacy—the very lackeys and lickspittles of the party ascendant are beginning to find out the policy of the plans of the party displaced ! This is curiously evident in the successive insertions of the Times in sfavour of a fixed duty. Whatever under-current of opinion is systematically admitted by that journal, it may always safely be supposed to be lieve likely, in the end, to carry the public with it. For some time back, the correspondence columns of the Times have furnished ample vindications of that Liberal commercial policy which the leading articles of the Times have vilified. No farther back than yesterday a Times Correspondent called attention to what is really the crowning absurdity of the sliding scale—namely, that its practical operation, on foreign markets, plac3s Great Britain in the absurd position of a bidder at an auction who, having outbid all his competitors, should continue to bid against himself. STANDARD.—None can be more sensible than our selves of the unfitness of a newspaper as a vehicle for theological discussion, or even for the investigation of questions bordering upon theological; but what can we do? Is error to be freely and even profusely disseminated through newspapers, and disseminated without contra diction or criticism, because it has adopted a channel hitherto considered, and properly considered, an unbecoming one for the matter in which -the error lies? Nobody will answer the question in the affirmative ; but if our Contemporaries will abstain from sacre„; subjects, we promise that we shall abstain and great will ,be our gratification at being a: jje to fulfil the promise to forbear. With this, - we hope, suffi cient apology, we return to t ,t,e consideration Of the words Catholic and Prote,::ant, words just now on every lip, and in almost ',very newspaper. .‘ IYords are things," said a "is(' Stan, and very important things they are, too, wher, as at present, they are made the founda tion of a.:guments upon the most serious subjects. A very intelligent, and, notwithstanding all its bitter ness towards ourselves, a much respected Contemporary, gravely stated in a late number that the Catholic church, in which we profess our belief when we recite the creed called the Apostles', is the Church of England ! a tulle meat which would make all the Protestant Churches of the world; for they all use the Apostles' Creed, to acknowledge the Church of England as the one true Church, while. •we, as English Churchmen, by such an under standing, exclude from the pale of Christianity all the Protestants in the world, including our fellow subjects of North Britain. This almost incrt.dible inconsistency shows to what an extent error prevails, and to what injurious contradictions it leads even in telligent minds. As we explained, however, yesterday, Catholic means universal, and it i s a pl a i n ogical sole• cism to limit the term to the Church of any ps.rticular country, or to the Church of any particular organisation. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 28. CIVIL V. ABIIAIIAMS. In this case an injunction ex parte had been obtained to restrain the defendant from appropriating or distri buting the purchase money of a certain estate which had been conveyed by the defendant to the plaintiff, on the ground that the conveyance was incomplete, as there were certain parties necessary to the deed of conveyance who refused to execute. Mr. PE3IBERTON applied to his Lordship to have the injunction dissolied, as the plaintiff had in his pos session the title:deeds to the estate, and acknowledged that the deed of conveyance gaVe him a good title thereto. Mr. liINDEnsLEy appeared for the plaintiff, and re plied that it was necessary the injunction should con tinue, as the plaintiff, in the present state of his title, could not possibly make use of it; and, further, that the defendant had given an undertaking, at the time of the conveyance, not to distribute the purchase-money, which was held in the Funds till the purchase was completed. The defend ant was executor to a certain party, and it was in the execution of this trust that he sold the proPerty; AS di rected by the will of the testator, to whom he was ap pointed as executor, and the party refusing to execute was the heir-at -law to the testator. Mr. PEMI3ERTON said the plaintiff had in his posses sion the whole of the title-deeds, and he had it in his power to compel the heir-at-law to execute the convey ance. Ile took all control over the estate from the de fendant, and also, by this injunction; he deprived him of all benefit in tho purchase-money. His LORDSHIP said he did not think, under the pre sent circumstances, the defendant ought to be allowed to part with the stock which comprised the purchase money, and therefore the injuncti on mus t b e contilam. .

Dir. COOPER addressed the Court for /the defendants. The Learned Counsel repudiated the imputation of the plaintiff's Counsel that the Coopers' Company wished, by availing themselves of a strict rule of law, to acquire possession of a site of ground upon which the East India Company had expended a large sum of money. It appeared from one of the letters put in on the other side that the defendants were acting as trustees for Lal„) , , Gibson's charity, and claimed nothing in eliek own right. The Learned Counsel, after goiii'fratv - XL4ith into all the facts of the case, .subinitted time iheiVtOai not the slightest pretence for any of tI4 chid kcsYset up by the bill, and, that it must therefore' Mr. Sutton Shaipe, Mr.4Mtintagne, and. Mr. Willock followed on the same side. Mr. SURGE replied for the plaintiffs, contending that there had been a clear agreement to grant an under lease to Trinder ; that the defer_da,nts had notice : of what took place. and suffered the plaintiffs to expend large sums on the property, and that there had been , no interposi tion whatever on the part of the Coopers' Company for the purpose of insisting that the East India Company had forfeited lheir lease. The expenditure took place under the eye' of the Coopers' Company, and with a knowledge on their part; according to tlreir own proposition; that the lease had been forfeited. On these grounds, there fore, he claimed relief at the hands of the Court. His HONOUR ordered the cause to stand in the paper . for judgment on Monday next. ' COURT OF EXCHEQ UER, Jan. 26. TILE QUEEN v. THE SUEnIFF of HERTFORD. This was a motion to dis!:;narge a rule obtained for the purpose of setting aside an order of the Court on payment of costs. The order was an attachment against the Sheriff of Hertford for not having returned a writ of fiere facias, in pursuance of an order of the Court. The question was, whether the reasons alleged in the affidavit upon which the rule was obtained were sufficient to entitle the Sheriff to the relief sought for? The affi davit was made by the Sheriff's officer, who stated that the fiere facias was delivered on the 27th of November, and the warrant was given to him on the day after. Upon the Ist of December he entered the plautiff's pre mises, and on the next day he sold part of his goods. He then stated that he also seized s quantity of bricks belonging to the pl'aintiff, upon which a claim of wharfage had bee n ma d e , f,nd that he found a purchaser fur these,but that they eor a ...d not be removed immediately in conse quence of %:tte state of tke weather. On the 30th of Dec. the 611 ',riff was ruled peremptorily to return the writ on 7th dr January. But upon that day, and with the consent (I.r the plaintiff's attorney, an order was made for further time, for the space of a week. The Sheriff's officer pro ceeded to state that on the Bth of January, the day after the original writ expired, he received from London a let ter stating that a week's delay had been obtained ; and then he went on to say that he believed the time of that delay expired on the 15th of January; upon which d ay the return was made by the Sheriff. The time, how ever had, in reality, expired on the 14th, or the day be fore. Another reason assigned by the officer for the de lay was that he had not been able before the 15th to give to the plaintiff or his Solicitor any proper or satisfx tory. account of the proceeds of the said levy, he having received the money for the bricks only upon that slay. There was an affidavit on the ,part of the plaintiff which Stated that on the 9th of December an application was made to the Sheriff's officer, upon which he cal.ed _on the plaintiff's attorney, stating that he had seized and sold certain goods of the plaintiff to the amount of 201., but that he had not received cash for the same, but that he expected it in a day or two ; and he promised to remit it to deponent within a week. These circumstances having been stated to the Court, The COURT observed that if the Sheriff had done any thing wrong the plaintiff's remedy was to proceed by action; and the late rule of the Court would not prevent him from pursuing such a course. The rule was there fore made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 28, RATIN V. HARDING. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of y es t er d a y.)

MANSIO2V-HOUSE. THE JURISDICTION OF MAGISTRATES IN CASES OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASTERS AND APPRENTICES . —The LORD MAYO R s t a t e d th a t th e City S o li c it . had 1 of the received a letter from Devonport, on th e s','...ect authority of Magistrates in matters of . uispute between masters an,l apprentices. The (11 ::,stion was one of great interest and importance, T r 2d-ticularly in the extensive manufacturing towns the three kingdoms, and the confirmation of Ir-:. Pearson's opinion by the law . officers of the CrowL, tvculd, no doubt, give high satisfaction. Ibis Lo:-„' shp then read the letter, which is as follows, in "....er that its important contents might be as publicly known as possible: Devonport, Jan. 22, 1842. SIR,—It is with pleasure I inform you that I had the honour of forwarding a memorial, from the merchants, manufacturers, and tradesmen of the borough of Devonport, to Sir George Grey, Bart., M.P., for pre-' sentation to the Secretary of State, praying the inter ference of her Majesty's Government on the subject of the Jurisdiction of Magistrates in cases of difference between masters and apprentices, where no premium has been given to the former ; and that Secretary Sir James Graham has been pleased to submit•the question to the Law Officers of the Crown. And that I have received a communication throw,;ll the hands of Sir George Grey, from the Home-office, dated Jan. 17, 1842, that the Law Officers of the Crown have reported on the above subject, and are of opinion, that the Magistrates have jurisdiction. I beg to say, that you are at liberty to make what use you think proper of this communication ; also if a duplicate of the original papers from the Home-office, will be of any service to you, they-shall be forwarded at your request.—l have the honour to be, Sir, yours respectfully, HECTOR MUNRO CROCKER. To Charles Pearson, Esq., the City of London Solicitor. His LORDSHIP observed that the communication was likely to produce a very favourable effect, as numbers of apprentices had in various places manifested a very formidable spirit of insubordnation, in consequence of the general impression that an apprentice with whom no pre mium is given was under no obligation to attend to the commands of his master. Mr. Hobler said he was present when the City Soli citor delivered his opinion, and his Lordship acted upon it, by sentencing a refractory apprentice to imprison ment ; and he had learned since that that decision had completely changed the tone of those apprentices whose masters were humane and considerate enough not to re quire any premium. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Michael Haydon, 465 of the City Police, was summoned before Mr. Jardine by William Crispin, a constable employed by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, for having, on the 24th inst., unlawfully molested and • interrupted the free passage of persons passing through the enclosure of St. James's Park. He was also charged with assaulting the complainant in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that on Monday last, when the gates were'closed at half-past four o'clock in the af ternoon, he was engaged with others in clearing the park of persons who were skating. . He was in uniform Kt the time, and shortly before Ave o'clock, having come ', O the defendant, who had been amusing himself tb- . , ent i re afternoon, he gave him warning to quit, l'l ' - .. e n b e sa id h e had been call e d on b e f ore other per-:- .. , ne, aika refused to l go away until he wished, for ness went to move him, ^ t - c, was a policeman.

A crowd h av i ng co ll ecte d an d t h e i ce beginning to ( crack from the weight, witness jumped off, and the defen dant said, " You white-livered -, I shall follow you." Several of the icemen and the men employed by the Humane Society:l , olo had been employed with ropes in clearing the ice, corroborated the greater part of the statement made by the complainant. The defendant said that three-fourths of the complaint made against him was false, for when the trumpet sounded he took off his skates, and while sliding near the shore to warm his feet, the complainant attempted to push him ashore, insisting to drive him away. Consider ing he .was selected above others, he reasoned with the complainant as to the impropriety of his conduct, when he drew his staff, but he said there was no necessity to use his authority, as he might take his number, and could get redress in another wag, which seemed not to satisfy him, for the compl a i nant instant l y collared him ; and several persons, who had given their address, were in attendance .to give evidence. In consequence of the violence used, when he (defendant) had gone away, thG mob attacked the complainant, and pelted him with brick-bats and other missiles. The defendant then called three witnesses to support his statement ; but they prevaricated in several of the principal points. Mr: JARDINE considered the defendant had behaved very ill, and the weight of evidence was entirely against him. He should ord er hi m to pay a free of 31. for the assault, and in default be committed for three weeks. Mr. JARDINE also said he would represent the matter to the City Commissioner, who would, no doubt, use his discretion in what course he thought proper to pursue. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Lawrence Lutridge, a ptkter and glazier, residing in Petty's-court, lianWay-street, Oxford -street, was brought before Mr. LONG, on a warrant placed in the hands of Whip, the officer, charging him with hav ing committed a rape , Upon Jane Keep, a married wo man , who, with her 11 :„Dand, occupies apartments in the house of which `.. i .,e prisoner is the landlord. It. Wolff attended for the prisoner. The prosccutrix, who is only 22 years of age, stated that on Wednesday morning last she returned home from market, about 11 o'clock, and on passing up stairs she saw the prisoner standing at his door, which was upon the second floor ; he had in his hand some artificial ; flowers, which he showed to her, and asked her if she (lid not think them very pretty, at the same time saying, "If you like I'll buy you some.'! She made no observa tion to him, and in an instant he threw the flowers from him, when he laid hold of her, and, - notwithstanding her resistance, committed the offence. In reply to the Ma i gistrate, the prosecutrix said, there was no one in the house but the prisoner and myself when this hap pened ; I struggled with him as much as I could, and as I was about to leave the room, he said he hoped I would not tell my husband, and promised faith fully not to insult me again. I then went :up stairs. At twelve o'clock my husband returned hoine, when he found me crying, and I told him what had hap pened, and that I should leave the house. In the course of twenty minutes the prisoner came in, when my hus band, who was in a great rage, went down to him and charged him with the offence, which he denied. Thomas Keep, the husband, corroborated the evidence of his wife with regard to the statement which she made to him, and his subsequent interview with the prisoner. The prisoner alleged that whatever he had done was With her own consent. My wife has never told me that he had ever been guilty of any improper familiarity until last Wednesday, and she then said that he had twice before put his hand upon her shoulder. Mr. LONG committed the prisoner for trial. LIVERPOOL VACANCY.-We have no p ositive informatio n as to the i ntentions oft Liberals. Are quisition to Lord Mil ton i s , we b el i eve, under consid - ration. The names of M r . E. J . S tanley, Mr. Georg e Wilbraham, and Mr. Hume, have also b een mentioned, all excellent men ; but nothing decisive has yet b een done. As we have already intim a t e d, our opinion is in favour of a free-trader, whatever be his politics. If a Tory, and thoroughly liberal in commercial matters; the greater the chance of his success. But if such a candi date cannot be found, still the friends of free trade ought to be afforded an opportunity of recording their votes. It is taken for granted, by one or two of our Liberal Contemporaries, that the registry, since the last election, is so much against us, as to render a contest now even more hopeless than it was then. We by no means participate in this despondency—this utter aban donment of the field to the enemy—without venturing to strike a blow. Since the last election practical and personal experience of the evil working of the pr4sent system has made many converts to the belief, not only in the possibility, but also in the necessity of a better. The extent of these conversions ought to be ascertained, and this can only be done by a contest, supposing that the Tories determine upon bringing forward a monopolist candidate. It may be unsuccessful, but the experiment ought to be made. There are at least 3,500 household ers, and some six or seven hundred freemen, staunch Reformers ; and there may be many more, differing in politics, but anxiou s to accord their votes in favour of free trade, and extended commerce ; and it will be an everlasting stigma on the good sense and public spirit of the rerelar leaders in Liverpool, if the opportunity is i *led them.—Liverpool Mercury, i .... ... , . , PADDOCK V. FORESTER. The circumstances o£. this case have been already fully reported. It was an action against the repre sentative - of the Duchy of Lancaster, in the pos session of coal mines in Staffordshire, for tres pass in entering upon the lands of a copy holder on the ducal manor to dig for coal. The ver dict was for the defendant, and their Lordships this day gave judgment upon the rule nisi since obtained to set that aside.— They discharged the rule. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 28. IN THE MATTER OF JAMES COLDIE. The insolvent in this case was a distiller in White chapel. He was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the behalf of an old woman, named Martha Stevens. It appeared- that the insolvent, accompanied by a friend, was proceeding in a gig from hiS country-house at Wandsworth to his residence in town, when the op posing creditor, who was crossing the road at the time, was,knocked down by the insolvent's horse. She was so severely injured that she was compelled to be taken to the London Hospital, where it was found that her thigh bone was fractured. Proceedings were subsequently taken against him by Mrs. Stevens, when the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff of 2001. with costs. The insolvent immediately afterwards became bankrupt, but had not as yet got his certificate. On the verdict which had been obtained he was arrested, and he now applied to the Court to be discharged under the Act. The LEARNED COUNSEL for the opposing creditor con tended that, under the circumstances, the conduct of the insolvent called loudly for the reprobation of the Court, as he had,' in defending the action brought against him by Mrs. Stevens, expended 301., with which he might and ought in justice to have relieved her. The LEARNED COSI3IISSIONER said, that under -the discretionary clause of the Act, he found there was no provision to meet such a case as that before him. In all cases where damages had been awarded for Crim. C 021., or such charges, the Court seldom considered such cir cumstances in pronouncing its judgment. The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1842. 2,000 31103 Albion -- --. 60 - 01.sh. 50/. pd 72 6 per rent" 59,000 I iind 1 53.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. A Vienna letter says :—" The Archduke Frederick will next spring visit France and England by way of practice in his proteggin of the navy. We do not know whether the Prince will confine himself to visiting the ports of France, or whether 112 will go up fa Paris, but it is certain that he will go to London." A letter from St. Petersburgh says that the weather at the beginning of this month was still so mild there (hat the fields were greeil. Other accounts from Stock holm say that the winter is there unusually mild also. On the night of the 15th inst. a fire occurred in the Palace at Berlin, but the flames were promptly extin guished, and the damage was inconsiderable. The Messager gives the following as a corrected list of the imports at Strasburgh by the Rhine, since the con clusion of the treaty of commerce with Holland :—Cot ton, 1,470 bales r coffee, 802 sacks ; indigo, 57 parcels. The St. Etienne papers state that a canal is in con templation for uniting the Loire and the Rhone, which will have to pass through a tunnel .of 20,000 metres, or about eleven English miles in length, and consequently will be the longest in the world: The idea was given by M. Bergeron, a late pupil of the Polytechnic school, and M. H. Fournel, the engineer who has been to in spect the locality, is going to England to visit the great tunnel of the Bridgewater Canal. The Revue du Havre relates that, three nights ago, about nine o'clock, the diligence of that town, on reach ing the top of the hill at Bolbec, was stopped by a traveller, who wished to be taken to Rouen. Being told that there was no place except on the roof among the baggage, where, however, he would be perfectly safe and warm, he got up and laid himself snugly down to sleep in the straw. In about twenty minutes all in the coach were alarmed by his tqrrific cries of " Mur der ! and destruction !" The conductor stopped the coach, and, imagining that the man in the straw was troubled with the nightmare, called to him to rouse himself, and change his position. This he did most ef fectually, for, with the nimbleness of a cat, h e instantly descended to the road, and made off with his utmost .peed. At first, suspicion was entertained that it was a trick to rob the coach, but the conductor, on inspecting the luggage, found it all safe, and at the same time dis covered the cause of all the alarm. An inside passenger, lately arrived from America, had with him a young Texian bear, which, being inadmissible within, was put on the top, and whose presence was forgotten when the way-faring traveller was allowed to get up. The ani mal, being in an advanced-state of civilisation, had no doubt wished to be sociable with his companion in the straw, and had, perhaps, rather too abruptly tendered his paw of friendship to one who was not prepared to accept it, and feared that the clasp might be too close. STATIONERS AND PAPER MANU- FACTURERS' PROVIDENT SOCIETY. A dinner of the Stationers and - Paper Manufacturers Provident Society took place on Wednesday, Sir James Williams in the Chair,. for the purpose of presenting their Honorary Secretary, Mr. John _Egger Cooper, with a piece of plate, as a testimonial for his valuable ser vices. The Chairman, who is President of the Society, was supported by Messrs. Dickinson, Garesser, Gardi ner, Chater, Towgood, Smith, Wiggins,lEvans, and most of the principal paper manufacturers and wholesale sta tioners in London. In proposing prosperity, to the paper trade the Chair man alluded to its importance as an article of universal consumption, and to the pleasure it gave him, as one of the oldest members of the trade, to preside over so highly respectable an assemblage of its members, and his hope that a meeting like the present would banish the rival ries of trade and unite them heart and hand in the work of benevolence and good feeling. The piece of plate, which was a candelabrum, was formally presented to Mr. Cooper by the Chairman, who said, I have observed the opening talents of that gen t!emen. I think highly of his legal attainments, which, in a straight manly course, will, I trust, lead him to emi nence in his profession, and I was so fortunate as to in troduce him to my excellent friend Mr. Clark, whom you all know to be universally esteemed, whose example has been, and I have no doubt will further be, of great advan tage to him. We are met to present a piece of plate to our friend as a small tribute of grateful acknowledgment of his unbought services. I know not whether the honour conferred on us by voluntary subscription for purchasing this article ; or the honour conferred upon Mr. Cooper by its presentation, be the greater. He might have made a heavy charge, but no payment could have produced•..in:- him a greater desire to meet our views, and. foster .the beginning of our exertions for the benefit of the rack.,' Addressing Mr. Cooper, he said—" Receive this plate its: a proof of our e?teep„ and also of our earnest wishes , for your happiner ;" y be handed down as an.heir loom to future 4encf4fons. accompanied • by the blessing of the Alatighey'7o,Op.,of all Mercies."
