ACOMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Thursday, the Bth day of December, 1842, LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS, Mr. James asked Lord Huatingtower if Lord W. Paget had ever been called upon to resign his seat for Andover. His Lordship stated in the affirmative. A requisition, signed by himself and 100 of the electors, had been presented to him, but he refused. When the deputation waited on Lord William Paget, he in sulted th-m, and refused to resign. He did not in tend to do that, he said. There was also a private agreement between them as gentlemen, but that was not regarded. Mr. James said, he had been requested by a private friend of Lord Strafford to put a question or two to his Lordship respecting his dealings with Captain Byng. His Lordship had stated on his examination in Court, that Captain Byng, in certain bill transactions with him, had committed a breach of trust. He wished to have an explanation of that, as the family felt severely the imputation thus cast upon one of its members. PUBLICATIONS. T HE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. CXLI. Will be published To-Moaßosv.

Sir, I a m now i n my 93d year, and a native of Holland , have been in this cou n t r y 26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age, I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight, therefore unable to follow my business.

These facts call for the immediate application of adequate remedies. That this Court anxiously appeals to the First Minister of the Crown to give practi cal effect to his declarations in favour of free trade, by bringing forward, at the earliest possible period, in the ensuing session of Parliament, such measures for securing the unre stricted supply of food, and the employment of the people, as may effectually remove a condition of depression and distress, too widely prevailing and too rapidly increa.ing to consist with the safety of the community, and the preservation of our social and political institutions.

THE DUKE OF CORNWALL'S HARBOUR AND LAUNCESTON RAILWAY COMPANY.—A meeting was held held yesterday, at the London Tavern, of the Directors and Proprietors of this Company, John Rushbottom, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, for the pur pose of recording the award in the case of the Company against Ross, their late secretary. It ap peared that Ross had made a claim upon the Company for about 50,0001., and had kept back some of the ac counts, involving the Company in litigation. An ac tion was brought against him by the Company, and the matter was referred to arbitration. The award read yesterday declared Ross to be indebted to the Company in the sum of 4901. The award was received, and ordered to be entered on the minutes of the Com pany. The Chairman stated that if the shareholders came forward, their next meeting wonld be their last, as the affairs of the Company would then be wound up. Therneeting then adjourned. COLLEGE LIFE.—" What is college . life ?" the un initiated of all .grades in town and country have been asking from time immemorial, and until the fortunate advent of a certain " Peter Priggins, College Scout and Bedmaker," they have "paused for a reply" in vain. But the college life then offered to their inspec tion by that inimitable droll was, with all its humour and oddity, of a rather more circumseribed sphere than many readers might desire. The same clever writer (who now boldly avows himself by name), has therefore, as we understand, in his forthcoming vo lumes, entitled "College Life," pitched the tone of his revelations to the tastes of all classes of readers, and the result will 'doubtless be a work "of infinite jest," that will set more Christmas tables "in a roar," than half a dozen Joe Millers. THE FOG.—The fog, which was " bad enough" on Wednesday, deepened in intensity during the latter part of the night, and had so completely enveloped the Strand and all other parts adjacent to the Thames on Thursday in its dusky and impenetrable mantle, as to have literally converted day into night. The gas was turned on in all the shops, and candles were obliged to be used to carry on the necessary business of the day. We find that it was the same on Tuesday in Paris. We fear that many accidents must necessarily have taken place from unavoidable collisions on the river (especially), as well as in the streets and roads of and about the metropolis. About twelve o'clock, however, the atmosphere cleared up, so that the use of candles in most instances might be dis pensed with. FATAL ACCIDENT DURING THE FOG ON MON DAY NIGHT.—Mr. Baker held an inquest on Wednes day, at the town of Ramsgate, Wapping, on the body of Joseph Butler, aged 34, a Custom-house officer, em ployed in the London Docks. From the evidence of John Blyth it appeared that on Monday night he was on duty with the deceased in the London Docks. At nine o'clock he was in his hammock, on board the Thomas llold, when the deceased bade him good night. `He. answered him, and, as deceased left the vessel, ad vised hiin to be very cautious in stepping ashore, as it was a foggy' night. At that moment he heard a splash in the water, but though he immediately ran on deck, he could not see, the fog was so dense, who had fallen in. The drags were, without loss of time, procured, and, after a search of half an hour, the body of the deceased was found.—Verdict--" Acci dental Death." The following are outlines of Lieutenant Sabben's ' lecture on lightning conductors for ships, delivered at the Green-row -rooms, Portsmouth : The first observation of the Lecturer, who, it must be understood, is an unswerving supporter of the old principle of conducting the matter of lightning di rectly from the truck of a ship over her side into the sea, and by means of the strong, flexible, and conti-: nuous wire-rope now manufitetured, and not break able but by heavy strain or purposed violence, was an allusion to the word unscientific, applied in his post ing bills, (riving notice of th e l ecture, to t h e oppos i te system of ° W. S. Harris, Esq., F.R.S., whose mode of disposing of the same consists of a bewildering right-angled zigzag process, introducing that very destructive element into a ship, by conductors niade of strips of copper, inlaid the whole length of her masts down to her very kelson, and then, by a still more confused and unintelligible process, discharging the same through her submerged frame-work. He said, so firmly convinced was he of the erroneousness of Mr. Harris's arrangement, that he had purposely' annexed that harsh term to it as the 'means of giving full expression to his own dissent, and also of drawing that public attention to a subject which, all must acknowledge, deeply affected the maritime in terests of the country. The Dian, he continued, viewed in whatever light, Appeared to -- hint so deserving . or rejection, that it was impossible for him not to feel humiliation that necessity existed for the task he had undertaken of exposing its many incinsistencies, and its many glaring unscientific mistakes. After a few other preliminary remarks, bat all of import ance—the exposition of these errors took place, the Lecturer, as he went along, pointing out the single ness of the electric spark when a battery or Leyden jar was discharged—that, too, of a flash of lightning; and in connection with these distinct cases, the singleness of their resulting effect, each evidently owing its distinctness to the electricity then in motion, invariably preserving a collected form. This fact it was main tained received strong confirmation from the many instances Mr. S. Harris had himself published of damage done by the matter of lightning to ships when escaping from those it had entered. And in connec tion with these recorded accounts. it was acutely argued, as the disruptions in the vessel's frame-work so injured, invariabfy took place near the surface of the sea, on which, on all sides, it was admitted, dis • charging atmospherical electricity sought to distribute itself, that there was in consequence strong presump tion for saying that all Mr. It's very laboured, very complicated, and very expensive arrangement, below that level for disposing of such intruding electric matter, was altogether superfluous. Nor should it remain unremarked, that here a benign Providence seemed to take the matter out of Mr. Harris's hands, and to be ever ready to defeat the rash and irrational proceedings of conducting lightning into a ship, when by a more ready, direct, and scientific process it is possible to divert it from her. Th e t rue con ditions and formation of the electric circle were long dwelt upon, the Lecturer being evid en tly anx i ous t h at a ll should understand that electricity when running the circuit, employed, only one set or conductors, - even though thousands of others were in the vicinity of that one set; that on the selection being made, the rest remained perfectly unaffected, wholly uninflu enced by it. This he satisfactorily proved by refer ence to Mr. Harris's own experiments, as well as to others, and strenuously maintained fr om th ese condi- tions, being unquestionably true, that it inevitably followed that Mr. H.'s idea of conveying electric matter out of a ship, simultaneously by many bolts in her side or bottom, was an untenable assumption; and which before being made required from him the proof that he could form, not only one, but many different electric circles during one discharge of the Leyden battery. It was particularly impressed, also, that the success of Mr. 11. 's first experiment with the Orestes in Portsmouth harbour, the second being a failure in one of its particulars, was by no means affir mative of the efficiency of his conductors; the use of which would have been entirely and most advan tageouly superseded, and rendered altogether useless, had there been a small wire.,, or wire-rope conductor, hanging loosely from her. mast head over her lar board or inshore side into the sea. Likewise that, from the success of the first experiment, it was re marked, how manifest it was rendered that all things in connection therewith were under the immediate ordering and control of the experimenter; not so, however, in the natural event, which was ever governed by local attractions, and peculiar circumstances, which we had no power to adjust or regulate as we please ; and which, in its limits, extended no farther than from the surcharged cloud to the surface of the sea or earth. Be fore concluding his comments on this experiment, the Lecturer said, that it must never be overlobked, that no such thing occurred in connection with it, neither would it happen in the natural phenomenon, as a general distribution of the electricity then in motion, as Mr. IL's assumption would lead us to ex pect, over the metal bolts of a ship and copper sheath ing ; otherwise the experiment could not have been completed ; its full success depending on the fact of its running unerringly and in a collected form the exact course designed for it by Mr. llarris. An important observation was made by the Lecturer, respecting the nature of the electric spark and of lightning, which we unwillingly omit in our haste to notice that, under the head of attraction of conductors, he was bent on showing that, although Mr. H. had denied the existence of such influence, all in reality he had done to disprove it was the substitution of the term "an easy line of discharge " for the word " attraction,' leaving all things else pre cisely in the same state as before. A diagram, copied from Mr. ll.'s published papers, was next exhibited, and one of his foot-notes read; both for the purpose of evincing that that gentleman fully admitted the uni form diffusion of electricity over the entire surface of conductors ; and yet, unaccountable to explain, as the Lecturer strikingly observed, he had nevertheless, in the very face of the fact he had taken pains to illus trate, and the reasoning deducible therefrom, inlaid his own in the masts and attached them to beams,.like one determined that their entire surface should not come into use. This, the Lecturer said, would be, however, the absolute fact whenever his conductors were really brought into action, and had to tr ans mit, not the t r ifli ng accumulation of a Leyden battery, but a large col lected volume of atmospheric electric matter, de scending in all its fury, fully employing and occu pying his conductors ; and, furthermore, as it was demonstrable by galvanic experiments, that not only, as Mr. H. had himself particularly shown, did elec tricity equally distribute itself over a conductor,- but that, as it moved along it, it assumed a revolving mo tion, as a waterspout is seen to do round its axis, it therefore became manifest, both facts arid theii col lected effects duly considered, that not only Were loose hangingconductors, on the principle the Lecturer was advocating, requisite for the safe discharge of the mat ter of lightning, but that, if not free, mischief and destruction must be expected to fall on the material in connexion. All this being certain from the foregoing reasons, it follows that masts fitted according to Mr. H.'s plan are thereby exposed to imminent danger—inlaid, conductors along their entire line possessing not the re quisite space on all sides around them for such general superficial diffusion and revolving motion as have been described to attend passing accumulations of electric matter, when transmitted by prepared conductors. At this place the Lecturer most solemnly descanted — keeping the previous observations steadily in view— on the fatal effects that might be expected to happen to a ship protected on Mr. Harris's plan, when a large volume of the matter of lightning intentionally and daringly brought into her by its means, had to be discharged from her by the employment and occupa tion of one selected bolt, situated either in her side or bottom. In such a case, and pains had been taken, when explaining the condithns of the formation of the electric circle, to show that such especial selec tion would be the consequence, actual distribution of such electric matter not taking place until it had reached the surface of the ocean, he said, there was plainly every reason to conclude that the wood-work compactly surrounding a bolt so chosen would be splin tered off it with violence, while room was making around it for the free passage of the substance of elec tricity : and on this happening, the ship would thereby become exposed to imminent danger. An actual fact of this character—the especial selection of one bolt by passing atmospherical electricity, and when many others were in its vicinity, and the destruction of the wood work around it, was noticed ; and the Lecturer expressed himself confident that in all the cases afforded by Mr. H. of disruptions made in vessels' sides by escaping electric matter, could these cases undergo re-examination, it would be discovered that the frightful chasms then effected resulted solely from the mode of operation he (the Lecturer) was then ex pounding. Two more of his many other forcibly ex plained and well appliedobjections, and the Report ends. The first is of that remarkably striking Character as should not fail to attract the general attention it un questionably deserves, namely—that in most cases re corded, ships when struck by lightning have suffered only in the upper or loftier portions of their masts, and that from thence the electric matter has passed harmless into the sea, and without penetrating their hulls ; a happy, most happy escape of the destructive element, which, howerver Mr. H. 's plan presumptuously inter • feres with ; for instead of assisting this natural avert ing process he most deliberately and intentionally fa cilitates and encourages the admission of the unsparing agent into their very heart, vainly building his powers of getting rid of it upon his own vain assumption, that his plan provides for its safe general diffusion, whereas as has been before observed, such general distribution does not take place until the element to be disposed of has passad from a ship or through some part of her solid frame work and in a collected form into the sea. The second objection is equally pertinent as the foregoing, and, in the shape of a ques tion, amounts to this, that if lateral conductors, such as Mr. 11. has attached to the under part of the main and orlop beams of a ship, he really useful for the dis charge and transmission into the sea of an accumula tion of atmospherical electricity, that might have de scended by means of those of his construction along the line of masts, why not, in the name of' common sense, if not of science, have such lateral conductors leading from the different masts laid over the surface of the upper deck of all, and by such an arrangement, reasonably, judiciously, and more scientifically pre vent the matter of lightning entering her hull, as it must now do, to reach the main and orlop beams ? Here the Lecturer implored all present to answer for themselves the question he had proposed; and the re porter of his lecture, as he concludes his task, solicits the same from all his readers. __ _ N.B.—lf ever question involved the scientific character of a country, the establishment of the per fection or worthlessness of W. Snow Harris', Esq., F.R.S., principle for defending ships from the effects of lightning does so. Men of science should look well into this matter—it concerns them all. LORD H UNTINGTO `'PER'S IN SOLVENCY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEC. 7. The examination of parties connected with this Nobleman in bill transactions was continued this morning at 11 o'clock precisely. Mr. Nias, as before, conducted the inquiry. Mr. E. James appeared for Mr. W. H. Douglas, of Buckingham-street, Strand, who was the person exa mined on this occasion. Mr. Nias—How long, Mr. Douglas, have you been acquainted with the bankrupt ?—I have known his Lordship since August, 1839. I have received bills of exchange and promissory notes from him, but no other securities. The first transaction was on the 10th of November, 1840. I received on that occa sion two bills of exchange for 1,0001. each, drawn by his Lordship on Mr. Montague George Smith. I paid them 5001. His Lordship and Mr. Smith were to receive 9201., but 4201. it was agfeed should re main in my hands, his Lordship being a minor at the time the bills were given. That amount was to be paid to his Lordship at the time he came of age and paid the bills, which I am quite ready to do. The money was paid to his Lordship and Mr. Montague G. Smith, but who had the benefit of it I do not know. Mr. James said, as Mr. Douglas had vouchers for his several transactions with his Lordship, it would perhaps be better that he should be allowed to give a narrative in detail. He admitted the money was raised at ruinous rates, but the whole of the; ns actions were clear. Mr. Nias appeared to agree to this course, subject to his right of putting questions whenever they might occur to him. Mr. Douglas here put in a receipt for the payment of the money. I passed the bills I so received to Mr. Chandler, Mr. William Whitehead Chandler, about Nov., 1840, or soon after they came into my hands. Mr. Nias—What consideration did he give you for ;hem ? Mr. James objected to the question. It was not a tleLordship bank rupt was ?o—n dealing with the bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE ruled in his favour. y e 29th second of transaction June, 181, Mr. Nias—What was your second transaction with 14 fo .i r thilis elec tioneering purposes, and when his Lordship was a minor.. His Lordship v% idled then to raise 1,0001., winch I had authority to get on any terms. This sum I knew was necessary from other sources to secure his Lordship's return. I came to London from Andover, and procured 8001. in 51. notes. It was to make a great show, which effect it really had. I handed those to his Lordship up stairs. The notes, which were called the physic they wanted, having been exhibited to some of the worthy electors, there was, of course, a considerable sensation.—(Laughter.) I mention this to show that his Lordship could be hardly expected to account fully on such a transaction as that : it was like water running; trough a sieve. The notes, as I have said, having, been exhibited to some of the worthy electors, I was carried into the room to be introduced to his committee, taking care to shake up the physic as it was called.—(Loud laughter. The vein of humour exhibited by the wit ness created great merriment.) Mr. James—To be well shaken before taken, I sup pose.—Yes, precisely so ; and it had great effect upon the electors.—(lncreased laughter.) There were then four bills drawn of 1,000/. each, accepted by Lord William Paget, and endorsed by his Lordship, at six months' date, his Lordship promising when he came of age he would give me fresh bills. I now produce the receipts, which show that 1,0001. was given for the four bills of exchange, being 8001. at the election and 2001. afterwards. (These receipts were read and put before the Court, being a memorandum pledging the bankrupt to give fresh bills when required so to do.) • Mr. Nias—To whom did you pay away these bills? —Chandler also received these bills. The third trans action I had with his Lordship was on the 9th of July, 1841, and then he was of age. The agreement was that I should give him 5001. for a bill of 1,0001. at six months' date. I then gave him 2001. in the first instance, and the balance at a subsequent date. Here are the receipts for the payment, &c. These were read and produced. That 1,000/. bill was also parted with to Chandler. Mr. Nias—What was your next transaction with the bankrupt ?—I agreed with Chandler to procure bills to the amount of 20,0001. of Lord Huntingtower, at six months' date, for the discount of which I pro posed to give him (Chandler) ss. in the pound, or 50/. per cent. per annum. I then went down to his Lord ship, and proposed to give him 10,0001. for 20,000/ worth of bills, undertaking to his Lordship I would pay to Mr. Chandler, or the holder of the bills, who ever they might be, the same interest for six months longer, so that his Lordship was not to be called upon for the payment of these bills for twelve months from their date ; by carrying out which agreement I should not have profited one shilling, except having the use of the 5,0001. for six months. My object in doing this was in consequence of having the authority of his Lordship to raise 40,000/. by post - obit, out of which sum of 40,0001. the whole of those bills were to be taken up; and I should have made a considerable sum by completing the transaction. I wish to state that I never should have entered into the 20,0001. bill trans action, had I not had reliance on being able to carry out the post obit. That contract will show (putting in a paper) the whole of that transaction, and the ac knowledgment of the moneys received. The 20,0001. were comprised in thirteen bills, and were all drawn by me upon his Lordship, and upon their receipt I gave his Lordship 1,0001., 5001. in cash, and 500/. in check. I now produce a paper corroborative of what I have stated : " It is agreed between the undersigned Lord Hunt ingtower and William Henry Douglas that the bill for 10,0001. and the eight of 1,0001. each, and the four of 5001., all dated this day at six months' date, to be drawn by William Henry Douglas, and accepted by Lord Huntingtower ' are to be arranged as follows : 5001., which W. H. Douglas has this day paid to his Lordship, and the check of 5001. on the Union Bank of London, making together 1,0001., which his Lord ship hereby acknowledges to have received, is on ac count of, and in part of, the sum of 10,0001. which his Lordship agrees to take for the before-mentioned thirteen bills (the thirteen making together the sum of 20,0000 ; and it is further agreed that the said W. H. Douglas will obtain the renewal of the said bills for six months if required by his Lordship so to do ; and it is lastly agreed that the balance due from W. H. Douglas to his Lordship, of 9,0001., is to be paid on or before twenty-one days from this date. "HUNTINGTOWER. "W. H. DOUGLAS. " Southampton, 17th day of July, 1841." I now produce a similar acknowledgment for the sum of 2,0001.: " It is agreed by the undersigned, Lord Hunting.. tower and William Henry Douglas, that the 2,0 00 1 . paid by the latter to the former this day is on account of the bills named in the agreement . between the above parties, and dated the 17th of August last, which with the cash before received by Lord Huntingtower, and the allowances for discount on the bills drawn by him upon Montague George Smith, and the loss sustained by W. H. Douglas for the purpose of obtaining the above sum of 2,0001., and what he has paid over this day to his Lordship, is to be allowed and taken as part of the consideration of the bills more fully set forth in the before-mentioned agreement, dated the 17th of the month last past. "Dated, at Andover, the 25th day of August, 1841. " Memorandum.—There is 6,000/. to be paid to Lord Huntingtower to make up the full amount of the bills before-mentioned, stated in the agreement of the 17th of August last. " HUNTINGTOWER." The date mentioned in the last exhibit is a mistake, and should be the 17th of-July, as in the original agreement, and not the 17th of August. This is ma terial, as it would appear his Lordship had had two transactions of the same kind. It was written on board the Gitana, which will account for it. I now exhibit another paper, containinc , two acknowledg ments for the receipt f money as follows : "Dear Sir,—l =knowledge this day to have re ceived the sum of 1,0001., making in all 5,0001., which I have received in part discount of my acceptances to the amount of 20,0001. " HUNTINGTOWER." That was written at the hotel at Andover. " N.B.—There is now 5,0001. more to come to we for bills to the amount of 10,0001. returned, being dated since I came of age.—September 25, 1844-." " I have received 4001. more of the above. " HUNTINGTOWER." This was all written at the hotel at Andover. I must here state that his Lordship's credit had suffered so much from the improper conduct of parties who in transactions' with him had taken every advantage, that I found I could have bought his bills for any thing that I chose to offer for them. I did all I could where I found they had been offered at a nominal value to prevent their getting into general circula tion, by assuring all parties that the bills offered at such rates must have been improperly obtained from his Lordship. I had authority from his Lordship to do so. By that means I prevented a very large amount of such bills getting into circulation. Lord Hunting. tower and Lord William Paget had entered into an agreement that if the four bills of 1,000/. each upon which they were both liable, and which were given at Andover for the purposes of the election, could be taken up and returned by Lord Huntingtower to Lord "William Paget, that then Lord William Paget would resign his seat in Parliament for the purpose of Lord Huntingtower's being returned. To accomplish this, I discounted the bills I then had of his Lordship's, which I had drawn upon him, and are more particu larly mentioned in th e agreement o f the 17th of July, and paid the 4,0001., and delivered the same over to his Lordship. I then obtained for his Lordship an acknowledgment now produced. This states that the 10,000/., the sum agreed, is now reduced to 3,0001., and is dated Nov. 5, 1841. I must here state that this will account for the statement made by his Lord ship when he was examined under this fiat, to the ef fect that he had given a receipt for more than actually came into his hands. That was true, because in the receipt for, 9,7001. was included bills for 4,0001., which I took from the holders and returned to him. It in cluded, likewise, 388/. 65., which I had paid Mr. Chandler for the purpose of obtaining the 2,0001. which his Lordship had received in August, and about 2001. fur renewals that I had paid on other bills. The 3001. was afterwards paid in small sums, which makes up the 10,000/. I agreed to give. That closes the transaction as far as his Lordship was concerned. I have never made 1,0001. by Lord Huntingtower in all my life. Mr. James here stated that Mr. Douglas could show, if the Court thought it necessary, how his account stood with his Lordship in the shape of profit. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said it was not at all necessary: Examination continued by Mr. Nias.—l parted with 14,000/. out of the '20,0001. worth of bills I drew upon his Lordship, to W. W. Chandler, and the re maining 6,0001. worth to Mr. Chandler, through Edward Sherborn, of the Strand. This I was obliged to do, because he was the holder of the four bills Lord Huntingtower wanted me to take up for the purpose of returning to Lord Wm. Paget; and as I only had two or three hours to get them, and Mr. Chandler was out of town, I applied to Mr. Sherborn for the four bills, which was the first transaction I ever had with him. Mr. Nias—llave you had any other transaction with Lord Huntingtower ?—My next and last trans action with his Lordship was this—l was applied to by Mr. Cockell, of Berners-street, Russell-square who stated that he had a friend w h o h e ld a 5 ,000 1: security with which his Lordship was mixed up, and had taken place during his minority ; if I could get his Lordship to give a security now he was of age, for that security he would make a further advance of 2,000/. to his Lordship, and give me 1001. for get ting the business done. This I did. In consequence I saw his Lordship, and two promissory notes were given —one for 5,000/., dated the 30th of Nov., 1841, payable three months after date to his own order, and endorsed by him ; and the other for 3,5001., the same date, and drawn and endorsed in the same man ner. The 5,000/. note was a renewal of the old trans action, 3,500/. being interest due upon the 5,000/., the discount of the 3,500/., and the 2,000/., the sum then advanced to his Lordship. I now produce the re ceipt given by his Lordship at the time. That receipt was written at Ilatchard's Hotel, Piccadilly, and dated Dec. 6, 1841. It has an endorsement of 1,7001. cash, and other items, which I will explain, making up the 2,0001. cash advanced. My explana tion of that endorsement is, that I paid hig Lordship the 2,000/. in cash, the same notes I received from Mr. Clekell, and within half an hour of my getting them. His Lordship on that occasion paid me 1001. for a chestnut horse he had previously bought, 35/. I had lent him a day or two before, and 1651. in consequence of the little profit I had made out of the 20,0001. transaction, which, with the 1,700/. cash, makes the 2,000/. Mr. Nias.—What became of the security you state was redeemed from Cockell ?—Mr. Cockell asked for and received from me a letter authorising him to hand the security over to Mr. H. Gompertz ; why I don't know. _ Mr. Nias.—By whose authority did you give that agreement with L or d H unt i ngtower was him 2001., and as h e never gave me any au thority to withdraw it or otherwise, I looked upon it in the same light as Mr. Cockell did, viz., that the original transaction was not worth a farthing, it oc curring during the minority. Mr. Nias—Did you take the precaution of cancell ing. it when y ou gave t h e new note ?—I never saw it. I did not know what the security was ; whether bill, note, or bond, I know not. Mr. Nias--Did you take any undertaking from Mr. Cockell to cancel it ?—No ; I did not. My agree ment with his Lordship was merely to get the 2,0001. Mr. Nias—Then, did you in fact receive anything for the 5,0001. promissory note of the bankrupt, dated November 30, 1841, which you gave Mr. Cockell ? I received nothing whatever, neither money, security, nor anything else. Mr. Nias—What consideration did you receive from Chandler for the bills you have stated ? Mr. James contended this question could not be put. It was no dealing between the bankrupt and the witness. Mr. Nias said the question was proper. The agree ment of the 20,0001. bills showed an agency between the parties. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE decided the con tract established agency on both sides, and that, there fore, Mr. Douglas must answer the question. It was the agreement of agent and principal, in which the payment of commission appeared. Question repeated by Mr. Nias—What considera tion did you receive from Chandler for the bills you have stated ?—I cannot state what I received for the bills of Lord Huntingtower in all cases. For the 14,0001. of bills I received in cash, or what realised cash (you had better call it cash), 4,7951 or there abouts ; the rest was made up in discounts, old bills, and 3881. allowance for the purpose of procuring some cash—the 2,0001. noticed before as paid to his Lordship. Mr. Nias—State what you received—the particu lars rather of 4,7951., or what you call cash ?—Cash, checks, and bills, but I can no t give you th e p ar ti cu l ars. Mr. Nias—Can you give the particulars of any part ?—I should say the actual cash—l mean bank notes —was '2,295/. I cannot give you the particulars of the rest, I put it against myself as cash. Mr. Nias—Whose checks were they that you allude to ?—I cannot tell you that. Mr. Nias—State the particulars of the bills that you say constituted part of the 4,7951. ?—I cannot tell what bills they were ; they were mixed up with other transactions, and I cannot divide them—that is impossible. Nias—Arei‘r you r t ransactions with Lord Hun tingltO wer entered in any books kept by you P—No ; I keep no books. My- transactions are such that I am glad to get rid of them. I should not get any sleep if I were to keep books. The bill dealings with Chandler respecting his Lordship are not entered in any books of mine. 1 keep no books. I have no Lord Huntingtower, in answer to the question of the Learned Counsel, said, the bill transactions he had had in connexion with Captain Byng were for a large amount. When he said or intimated that Capt. Byng had not furnished him with the proceeds of certain bills, it arose from the circumstance of bills coming against him with Captain Byng's name, which, as he knew nothing- of them, he, of course, thought Captain Byng would not have given up without re ceiving some. consideratiOn. In the multiplicity of transactions that had occurred between them, it was, however, quite possible that th ese bill s might have got into circulation without Captain Byng having in any manner committed a breach of trust. In the course of the proceedings, Mr. Samuel Bamford Hamer's clerk came forward to excuse hie principal's attendance to-day on account of ill health. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said, as "no medical certificate was produced, it was an insufficient reason, and without Mr. flamer attended the next day named his disregard of the summons would be treated ac cordingly. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We must really come to the rescue of Messrs. Acland and Dickinson from the ruthless Post, ere it utterly make an end of these twin pillars of the Ministry of its own party. "We have again," says the Post, " looked through the speeches of the Conservative Members for Somerset, upon which we commented yesterday. The object of our search was to find some avowal of some high principle of duty —some patriotic sentiment— some generous sympathy—some affectionate re mark. Our search has been in vain. We find nothing that a heartless Whig might not have spoken." We shall not contest the Post's remark, that the Peel Conformers are heartless "Whigs. Heartless men generally appear when they address uncongenial audiences with unwelcome truths, which truths they had previously suppressed, to gain votes from those audiences. Heartless men generally appear in enforcing views not the product of their own minds—and views the hearty enforcement of which displaced others, to make room for them. Heartless men generally appear when confronted with those other, who—their hearts tell them— have a right to feel 'theirs swell with an honest pride in hearing their convictions echoed by those who had decried, their views adopted by those who had de nouneed them. All this is heartless work enough for the party in power doubtless : they are naturally enough heartless Whigs ; but we, the Outs, have ac quired ample right, by the new tendencies of our for mer opponents, to take heart, and exclaim Sursunt corda !—as Sir Robert Peel (after Burke) one day admonished the Glasgow students. It is good for us to be here ! The Ins who drove us out,' now carry us out. Far from the fact being, as has been somewhere asserted, that Whigs have grown ashamed of the name, you may know a Whig now by his loftier port, mid his air of rectitude vindicated. Men met each other with erected look, The steps were higher that they took, Friends to congratulate their friends would haste, And old inveterate foes saluted as the passid. But we return to our apology for Messrs. Acland and Dickinson—" Things," exclaims the Post, " have changed so as to enable Mr. Acland to throw aside all delicacy in alluding to the Whig gentle man, Mr. Sanford, and to be very glad to meet him upon a public occasion. We wish Mr. Acland would speak out, and tell the public what he means." Now this is very hard on Mr. Acland's " delicacy." On the occasion of the rape of the Sa blues, we don't suppose the ladies spoke out, yet it appeared afterwards they were not sorry to be trans ferred to the opposite camp. Here has evidently been a rape of the Tories ; these delicate " deserters , " as the Post calls them, have been borne off in triumph in the nervous logical grasp of Lords John Russell and Pal merston. Mr. Sanford sits with his blushing conquests beside him, who " throw aside all delicacy. We wish him joy . of his brace of b onnes f ortunes, perhaps unex pectedm their frankness. STANDARD. —And now one word to the discon tented Conservatives and to the Leaguers. Let these persons answer the one the other. The discontented Conservatives say that they have not sufficient pro tection ; the Leaguers, on the other hand, assert that any protection is too much. The sayings of those in cendiaries are, indeed, worthless; but their doings are, at least evidence in the matter of fact. Wby are there Leaguers ? 'Why is there a League ? Thieves do nct force a house which they know to be empty; and, generally, where there is nothing to plunder there will be no thieves. The existence and activity of the League is, therefore, proof th a t agr i cu l ture is pro tected under the present law, and protected to an extent which stimulates the cupidity of the Leaguers. How, then, are the majority of Conservatives, who never demanded more than a reasonable protection to industry and enterprise, inconsistent in avowing themselves contented ? But the farmers are suf fering : we know it and lament it ; but if they want to know the real cause of their suffering let them look beyond the Corn-law of last session, let them look to the Poor •law of 1834; that is the law which has universally diminished con sumption. If they who have realised their twenties and thirties of thousands of pounds per an num out of the reduced wages of labour, could, like Mrs. Quickly's tyrant, " put all the substance of the poor into that fat belly of theirs," the farmers might suffer less by the accumulation ; but unfortu nately though the A.'s, and B.'s and C.'s of the League starve by thousands—they eat but as units; and the farmer loses in demand all that the money getters gain by starvation of the poor. The adop tion of the scheme to reduce the people "of a coarser kind of food" was the severest blow ever inflicted upon the agriculture of the country and Ireland populationd oes n not o grow e propo mu rt c i h on wh to eat its as ex E te n n g t_. l d o in as one-fourth Eng land ; but wheat is neverthelessangrtohNavn in n—endi bears a much lower price in Ire Eng land. Why ?

In the same way it is the degrada tion and poverty of the labouring classes in Poland and other countries on the Continent which enables, or rather compels, the farmers and landowners in those countries to send wheat to England to over whelm our markets, if there were no Corn-laws to regulate its admission. " Live and let live," is an excellent rule between landlord and tenant ; but is it not just as good a rule between employer and la bourer ? The farmer who, according to the phrase, screws his labourer with that instrument of torture with which the New Poor-law furnishes him, affords to the landlord a hint and a justification for screwing him in turn. SWINDLING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Snl,--You will oblige several subscribers by ix serting the following cases of swindling : A person calling himself Moorhouse, and professing; to be a commercial traveller, is going through York shire, stopping a night or so at commercial hotels, and decamping without paying his bills. This be did het week at the Black Lion, Burlington; the Bell, at Scarborough; the Bell, at Duffield; and, I believe, the Tiger, at Beverley. He stated at Burlington that he was from Manchester, and in the drapery trade. , He is dressed in a black surtout-coat and trousers, his hat is much worn, and he appears from 45 to 50 years of age ; is very fond of spirits (chiefly brandy), is of good address, and fond of talking politics. Should this meet his eye he will do well to remit the bills he has left unpaid in the above towns, as active steps are being taken to have him apprehended. Bridlington, Dec. 2, 1842. POISONIN G GAME.—We regret to say that some evil disposed person or persons have been poisoning the pheasants in the preserves at Stow, and that a large quantity have been found dead by the keepers. We sincerely hope the parties will be found out. — Cambridge Advertiser.'
