RAINBRIGGE. THE NEW NAUTICAL ROMANCE. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 S vols., IR HENRY MORGAN, THE BUCCANEER. By EDWARD HOWARD, Esq., Author of .us co-lahurers were to denounce him for I•imes by night ? We, who notice the proceedings of the Commons, labour through the greater part of the night, and as we go home in the grey of the morning we see policemen, cabmen, and watchmen, who seem to keep about the same hours as ourselves. Thus the Members, and clerks of Parliament, engine -drivers, mail-guards, eoach men on long stages, and all immense number of lab.ur ers of all kinds—not to mention the sailors who keep watch, and the soldiers who are on guard —perform night murk, as well as day work. With all due respect to Mr. FERRAND, therefore, and to the Gentlemen of the House of. Commons, many of whom keep men out at night in the most inclement weather to watch their pre serves —from all these examples of work carried on at night, we cannot hold it to be the least reproach to Mr. COBDEN, or any other man, that he works his mills at night as well as by day. All that is requisite to make working by night just, is, that it should be voluntary, and those.who submit to the inconvenience 'should be proportionably rewarded. • orintin, The Solicitor-General, Mr. Erie, and anther counsel were for the plaintiff; Mr. Hid, and another gentleman for the defendant. This was an action brought b, the plaintiff, an eminent auctioneer, against the surviving trustee tif an estate, for 383/., being costs out of pocket, and a commission °Arne per cent on 35,0001 the price o! an estate which plaintiff had b engaged to sell. The defence was, that the estate in question, Br ad Hall, in Shropshire, was sold by private contract by one of the trustees, tke plaintiff ' having failed to sell it by auction ; but defendant had paid 2031. 1 es. into Court, as a full liquidation of all plaintiff was entitled to. The question was, whether the plaintiff , was entitled to 1 per cent. under the circumstances. It appeared that in 1 837; the defendant, and his deceased col leagues, wished to dispose 'OE four heavily mortgaged estates in Shropshire, including Br a lall. Mr. Rainey undertook to sell them, agreeing with Mr.. the solicitor and the trustees, for aShropshire , remuneration of one per , whether ho should sell th e es t a t es by auction, or whether they, fte, availing themselves of his sur. veys, valuations, and advice, should effect a sale by private con. tract before the day fixed for the auction. All the estates had been sold by private contract, but the present question related to Brand Hall only. In 1837 plaintiff put up the Brand estate, but got.no bidders. Next year the trustees sold it to Mr. Sillitto, a gentleman long resident in the neighbourhood for 35,0001, entirely without the knowledge of the plaintiff. Messrs. Hoggart, Wistanley, Lea, and Driver, eminent auc tioneers, were called up to prove, that according to the custom of the profession, plaintiff was entitled to one par cent., though he had failed in selling the estate.

Should it be said that there is no necessity for night work in factories and print works, we reply, that to keep furnaces alight night work cannot be dispensed with. Something of the same kind is true of large steam engines. It takes a considerable time to kindle the fire and get the steam up, and much loss is incurred by al lowing the fires to go out. In print-works there are chemical agents, whiClu:'-exe continually undergoing change ; there is, as it Were, a power always at work ; and when Corn-laws and other restrictions so limit men's means of getting bread, and of getting wealth, that their utmost exertions fail in attaining either, we cannot be surprised at manufacturers desiring to econo mise the powers of nature, by using them by night as well as by day. Neither, Mr. COBDEN, we presume, nor any other master, employs the same persons both for night and for day work. He has relays of hands, who keep watch and watch, as . it were, and are paid accordingly. It is no more a matter of reproach to him and other manufacturers that they work at night, than it is to the proprietors of all the Morning Papers of the metropolis. The empty reproach which Mr. FERRAND hurled against the manufacturers excited roars of approbation from the Game Preservers, whose night watchers sometimes get knocked on the head. MR.

Mr, Hill contended that these precedents did not prove the existence of a general custom. If such was the custom, it was not a reasonable one; but, looking to analogy, it would be seen by a recent decision in the Court of Common Pleas, that a broker having undertaken to charter a ship, but having failed, was untitled to nothing. Moreover, the plaintiff's own demands showed the distrust of any such binding custom. Mr. Breary, of Derby, an extensive auctioneer, who had sold estates for the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Newcastle, and other d stinguished noblemen and gentlemen, said he had never be. fore heard of such a demand as this. Under the present sir. curustances, he thought the sum offered as compensation, namely, fifty guineas, ample remuneration for Mr. R.ainey, Wit. Hess should consider himself very well paid at such a rate, and as for charging for a preliminary conference he should think himself sufficiently remunerated by the honour conferred, when a gentleman sends for an auctioneer to consult him.—(Laughter. ) A cause formerly gained by Mr. Rainey, when he claimed a commission on an estate sold before the day of sale was referred to. But it was proved that, so far from causing the purchase of the estate by Mr. Sinitic), Mr. Rainey, had continued to advertise it for sale after that purchase, being in fact first apprised of this transaction by Mr. Sillitto calling to ask what other estate near Market Drayton was to be sold. We must, in conclusion, offer our own explanation of what Mr. FERRAND calls a quibble. lie stated, in the first instance, on an anonymous authority, a great many charges against the manufacturers; and, amongst others, that Mr. COBDEN worked his mills at night. Mr. BROTHERTON took up this, and justly inferred that if the anonymous authority were no better on other It was further argued for plaintiff' that the trust ees h a d ava i led better purchaser than M r . themselves .)f his experience in offices and c onnex i ons,_ and that of they had ai acted ntiff w n h h a o n m d unhandsomely h a i in e g closing ot a with Mr. Sillitt o un k nown Sillitto; and further that an auctioneer's time, as well as his actual services in such cases, hould be paid for. In fact, his engage ment had not determined when the trustees sold Brand Hall to Mr. Sillitto. points, it was worth nothing, for Mr. COBDEN never had a mill in his life. In that we see no quibble, but a very natural and just inference. It could not be supposed :hat the person who gave this minute inforthation was ignorant of the difference between a mill and a print work, and when he made such an extraordinary mis 'ake he was open to the suspicion that lie knew nothing )f the subject. There was no quibble in this, but there was astounding impudence in charging men with a quibble in order to cover the retreat of presumptuous gnorance. We hope that the time is not yet come when loud-mouthed declamation in the House of Commons .s to be suffered to stifle the voice of modest merit. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff to the amount of fifty guineas.beyond the sum paid into Court. FRIDAY. His Lordship was engaged the whole morning in trying the case of Evan's V. CHIPPENDALE, a case involving several questions of disputed accounts. Various attempts were made during the course of the miming to induce the parties to refer the cause, but without avail. The case was of no public intereit whatever. - POLICE INI'ELL/GENCE. MANSION HOUSE. James Lainchbury, a clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. anbury and Co., of Lombard-street, was brought before the Lord IlLiyor, in the custody of Roe, the officer, charged with having stolen a bank-note for 10/., the property of the firm. Mr. Bush, the solieitor to the Committee of Banker.; for protection againit fraud or forgeries, appeared for the prose cution. Mr. William Adams, a clerk in the house of the prosecutors, stated that, on the Ist of the present- month, he received at Messrs. Price and Co.'s, for his employers, the bank-note pro duced, No. 27,341, and marked it so that he could at once iden tify it, and on the same day he delivered it tothe clearing clerk. Mr. James Bewick, also a clerk at Messrs. Hanbury and Co.'s, produced a book of accounts in which entries wore made. Upon referring to that book, he found that, on the 2d of Feb ruary, amongst other entries made by the prisoner, was one for the above-named 10/. note, in the manner, "27,341, 10th De cember, 10." A few pages further in th e book there appeared in the writing of the prisoner, an entry of " No. 27,347," which writing witness believed to be a false one. He believed that the 1 had been altered into a 7. Some confusion having arisen from the state of the balance at the end, of the day, in quiry was neessarily-made t and the note numbered " 27,341" was missed, and after Wards it was ascertained that it had been changed by the prisoner. Mr. C. Browning, a clerk at Hanbury and Co.'s sated that upon his return from collecti ng on t h e 2d of February, he changed the Bank note numbered 27,341 for the prisoner for gold, and paid it over subsequently to the prisoner, with the rest of the money he had collected, in order that it might be entered in the customary manner. Mr. P. Banbury, of the firm of Hanbury and Co., stated that on the 11th inst. the prisoner was called into the parlour and questioned on the subject. The,prisoner at first said that he was wrong 101., but subsequently stated that he was wrong to the amount of 110/. A solicitor attended on the part of the prisoner, and took notes of the proceedings, but asked no questions. —The pri soner was then committed for trial. John Forrester, the officer, hating been employed by the assignees of the bankrupt broker Cassidy, to go in search of that fugitive, who has been cutting so distinguished a figure elsewhere, left London for this purpose on the 9th instant. Upon the arrival of Forrester at Paris, he found that the bank rupt, who bad an immense number of bills in his possession, had been lately liberated, and had departed from that capital. The officer took with him an active assistant named Byron, from thence in pursuit of the bankrupt to Brussels, where he re ceived the most prompt assistance from the police and other authorities. He traced Cassidy from Brussels to Aix-la- Chapelle, where he arrived on Saturday morning last, and as certained that the bankrupt was safe in the town. Forrester soon found the hotel at which Cassidy resided, and laid his plans accordingly, having been introduced to and received every necessary aid from the President of the Regency, the Precureur- General, and the Prefect of Police on the occasion. The bill upon which it was intended Cassidy should be arrested, was made over to a barris ter, to whom Forrester was recommended by a perm-who had rendered very great services in similar cases. On Monday he took possession of the bankrupt's tin box, conta:ning between 13,0001. and 14,0001. in bills, also the bankrupt's papers. As Cassidy was absent, the door of his house was broken open by the authorities and Forrester, who soon learned that the bank rupt had entrusted the tin box to the care of the landlord. The landlord, again, hearing that his customer was a bankrupt, gave up the box to the authorities. It is believed that the money, and it Is also thought that he explanation.

ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING AT FORFAR. FROM A CORRESPONDENT. ) A public meeting of the inhabitants of this t iwn was held in St. James's Church on Monday evening, the 21st instant, under the autho rity of the Magistrates, for the purpose of taking into consideration what steps it was necessary to pur ;ue, in order to obtain the total repeal of all ino lopolics affecting the free importation of food ; it was most numerously attended, the Chief Magistrate Nes unanimously called to the chair. The Rev. Messrs. :itrachan and Lowe, who had attended the Anti-Corn niw Conference in London, were introduced, and gave an account of their mission; both gentlemen were warmly td enthusiastically cheered on making their appearance. Mr. Lowe, in the course of his remarks, contradicted the report given by various newspapers, that 100 members of ;he Conference were admitted to the lobby of the House in the night Sir R. Peel developed the Government plan for altering the Corn-laws. The Rev. Gentleman said not exceeding twenty of them were present ; he knew that, as the number was ascertained when they adjourned w Brown's Hotel. After the meeting had heard the ac count they proceeded to deliberate on the future steps be taken, when the Rey. Mr. Lowe moved the tdoption of the following declaration :--"rhat this meeting unanimously declare their deep and de cided abhorrence of all Corn and Provision-laws, and are convinced that nothing less than the total and immediate repeal of all such laws as interfere with the free and unlimited importation of the food of the people, will preserve this country from anarchy and ruin. Farther, this meeting are now satisfied from the general feeling expressed, that in case measures are not adopted to relieve the people from the present state of want and -misery under which they labour, there is reason to fear that a course will be generally adopted of not only abstaining from the use of all exciseable articles, so far as that shall be found practicable, but also that the parties liable may refuse to pay assessed and other taxes in money, leaving to the collectors the alternative of taking their effects in execution ; a result which, if it should occur, would be ruinous to the best interests of the country, and which this meeting would most earnestly deplore. And now, having lost all confidence in her Ma jesty's Ministers, and in the House of Commons, as at present constituted, and desiring not only the repeal of bad laws already existing, but also a guarantee for good government for the future, and feeling convinced that no effectual remedies will be adopted without a tho rough reform of the House of Commons, the meeting ' resolve to present a dutiful and loyal address to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to cause such measures to be originated as will insure the extension of the franchise to every man who is twenty-one years of age, of sound mind and unstained by crime, accompanied by Vote by Ballot, and such m a tt ers of detail as will insure the honest and practical working of these measures." The Reit. Mr. Strachan seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously in the largest in-door meeting ever assembled in Forfar. Sir Robert Peel was paraded through the town in effigy on Monday afternoon, accompanied by a band of music, playing the " Rogue's March." On reaching the Market-place he was formally sentenced to death, and was burned amidst the plaudits of assembled thousands. MONEY MARKET loid CITY NEWS SUN.—There was a reaction in the English Stocks yesterday. There were a few sales in the course of the day, and these were partly induced by the persistance, on the part of Louis Philippe, in his determination to go counter to all the rest of Europe. It may be, too, that some parties are anticipating a funding. Exchequer Bills realised 225. to 255. premium, be ing a further improvement of Is. The question of a probable funding is still involved in doubt, but as regards the spurious Bills, it seems the only available means the Government can have of discharging them, Consols for immediate transfer were at 894 to 89 1 1, and for Account at 84 to 893. At the close of business this afternoon the former were not higher than 694 to 89k, and the latter were at 894 buyers. Bank Stock .was firm at 170. In India Stock and Bonds there were no bargains. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. obtained 983 to 99. The Foreign Market, on the whole, was rather firm. We are glad to perceive that the Mexican agents have been prompt in the announcement of the dividends promised to the Bond holders, in the event of their acquiescence in the terms pro • posed at the last public meeting, and which we commented upon at the time. No doubt, however, parties here who have been speculating for the rise, are now making th e most of the recent improvements, and hence the decline to-day to 35i and 35i. Active Spanish Bonds were a shade better, a small lot having been taken by one party. The extreme rates were 244 to 24k. Portuguese New Five per Cents. were also rather higher, being at 32i to 32k. Colombian Stock brought 22a Birmingham Thirds at 251, and to 24 Brazilian 65/ 1 -, a'd Cuba 75. French Five per Cents. premium. Brighton were 14i, Rente, have been at 118 f. 50c., and Dutch Five per Cents. at 102 1 ,4.

" In the evening of a long toilsome life, if a man were to be obliged solemnly to declare what, without any exception, has been the most lovely thing which, on the surface of this earth, it has been his good fortune to witness, I conceive that, with out hesitation, he might reply, The mind of a young child.' " We observe with what delight a child beholds light —co lours—flowers—fruit, and every new object that meets his eye; and we all know, that (before his judgment be permitted to in terfere) for many years he feels—or rather suffers—a thirst which is almost insatiable. He desires, and very naturally desires, to know what the Moon is ?—What are the Stars ? Where the rain, wind, and frost, come from ?—With innocent simplicity, he asks, what becomes of the light of a candle, when it is blow out ? Any story, ar any Eistory, ke greedily devours." fondon : Printed for Thomas Tegg, 73, Cbeapside ; and sold by all Booksellers. UND . ,R THE IMMEDIATE PATRONAGE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.

SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26, 1842. Mr. CHRISTOPHER'S motion was brought forward last night in the Committee, discussed, and withdrawn. The motion was treated with contempt, as a mere make believe, by all sides of the House, and the Hon. Member confirmed the general impression by his condUct. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S scale was subsequently put to the vote, and carried by 306 to 104. Mr. AGLIONBY, and probably some other Liberals, voted with him, as his scale is the best they can get. In the course of his short speech Sir ROBERT PEEL n►ado the House understand that he is already in great difficuities with his sliding scale. He explained to the [louse last night, that the millers had been worrying him, - because he had fixed too low a figure for flour, and !►ey predicted, after his Bill came into operation, the country would be so inundated with flour that they would have nothing to grind. Them the barley-growers declare that he has given them 2s. per quarter too little. All the Irish gentlemen, and all the growers of oats, call on him to do something more for that grain, or Ireland will be unfairly dealt with. He did not say that the horses had complained about the tax on beans being too low, or that the maltsters complained of the taxation on barley, but he said enough to prove that the task he has undertaken, of giving an equal or at least a satis factory protection in the pa2e of commoditiei3 to every producer in the empire, is far more than human power can perform. As the country declines he will find more demands on the bounty of the State; and if the Right lion. Gentleman neither gives up his scheme nor gives up his office—and he dropped last night some hints and some threats to the agriculturists—though he devote night and day to the work, he will never duly apportion protection amongst all his monopolist friends, to say no thing of the other interests which acquire a claim on him for his concessions to them. Sir ROBERT spoke in rather a subdued tone ; he is willing to re-consider his scheme of the averages ; he is afraid of his friends ; and spoke so feelingly of the party, comprising all classes, who are moderate and approve of his scale, that we thought l►e was bidding for their support to protect him against the extremes on both sides. Is he already tired of his thankless task ? It is charged against Mr. COBDEN and others, by Mr. FERRAND, that they work their mills and bleaching es tablishments day and night. The House of Commons cheered this as if it were a great enormity, and yet that House very often sits till 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, and employs clerks and printers all through the night. Its votes and proceedings, though it do not rise till four o'clock, are printed and dispersed through the town next morning by ten o'clock.. To print them men must work all night. • The debates of the House employ reporters, printers. readers. boys, &c., &c., all through the night, and greatly to the satisfaction of the mukitude of land owners, who yelled with delight at Mr. COBDEN'S pre sumed cruelty, are laid on their breakfast table, and despatched by the early mails all over the country, by working at night.
