SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We are on the eve of an eventful session of Parliament, in which many of the most impor tant subjects of remedial Legislation conse quent on the Amendment of the Representa tion, and of which the Reform Acts were the designed instrument, will be discussed. The last Session was occupied with the adjustment of several great commercial questions—the Bank Charter, the East and West India questions, the Slavery Bill, and the Currency agitation—which involved no controversial political principles, The legislative subjects of the pending session, on the contrary, will test the real character of the Reformed House of Commons, and their determination will prove how far the Heredi• tary Peerage can conform to the spirit of the times. We anxiously await the issue of this critical demonstration, sincerely believing that the constitution is about to undergo an ordeal which will reveal how long the Tory aristocracy can dwell with a popular representation. The ques tions of church reform—elective municipal in stitutions—rigid economy of the public expen diture—and numerous important standing no tices on the order books of the House of Com mons, will speedily ascertain the relative strength of the Liberals and the Tories in the two Houses of Parliament. The foreign policy of the Government also will be questioned by the Conservatives; to whom our intimate alliance with France, and our support of the liberal par ties in Belgium, Portugal, and Spain, are " gall and wormwood." Under these remarkable cir cumstances the public look forward to the topics and spirit of the King's Speech of this day with the deepest interest ; and the Continental Go vernments never felt more intense anxiety to learn the authoritative annual communication of the British Monarch through his responsible Ministers, to the representatives of the British people. The foreign and domestic policy of the present liberal administration of this country has been now too long exhibited in its public acts to be ambiguous or difficult of anticipation. The Royal Speech will of course commence, as usual, by an appropriate acknowledgment of the preceding services and liberality of the Parlia ment, and a grateful reference to the important and responsible acts of legislation passed in the last session. Some retrospective al lusion will probably be made to recent mea sures—to the practical abolition of Negro slavery, and its favourable reception in Ja maica—to the remedial measures for Ireland, and the valuable results of the Commission of Inquiry into the Ecclesiastical revenues and pa tronage of that part of the United Kingdom, and to the pending investigations of the Cor poration and Poor Law Commissions; and a temperate recommendation to the Legisla ture to provide suitable remedies for the abuses and defects of our ecclesiastical and municipal institutions. The speech will, of course, congratulate the Members of the two Houses of Parliament on the general maintenance of peace with all parts of the world ; and in its indications of foreign policy it must point especially to our intimate relations with France in particular—to our recognition of the infant Queen of Spain—to our natural in terest in the accommodation of the civil contests in Portugal, and between the contending powers of Belgium and Holland. We shall be much disappointed if the independence and integrity of the Turkish Empire does not form a specific and significant topic of the Royal Speech ; such an allusion would be most popular with the country, and could not be misinterpreted by any Northern Powers addicted to the destruction of the political independence, and to the dis memberment of neighbouring States. The Commons will of course receive the usual acknowledgments of the Royal reliance on their liberal allowance of the necessary estimates for the expenses of the ensuing year, and the Mi nisterial pledge of every possible economy and retrenchment. The acknowledged general pros perity of our trade and commerce will be natu rally mentioned, but the depressed condition of the agricultural classes must form an exception to the congratulations on the state of the coun try. Ireland cannot be passed over in silence. The renewed agitation of the Repeal of the Union, and its avowed object as the fulcrum of measures for which a mock question is to be bartered by its insincere advocates, will most probably be distinctly alluded to in the Speech, with an expression of unqualified determina tion to oppose in toto the contemplated disunion of the Legislative Constitution of the British Empire. In other respects the comparatively tranquil state of Ireland, and the lenient enforcement of the extraordinary powers of the Coercion Bill, may be referred to as proofs of the improved social con dition of the " sister island," if the agita tors will cease to disturb public opinion. The numerous questions involved in Church Reforms will scarcely be particularised, and indeed many of them can only be determined by legislative discussion and mature investigation ; but the general discontent against the existing tithe system may call for a distinct notice in the Speech. These topics, we anticipate, will form the staple of the State documents which the King, on the responsibility of his Ministers, will probably communicate to the Parliament. Such a brief and simple message will most please the nation, if the spirit and liberal tone should be what we here anticipate. The Ministry has recently greatly advanced in public favour; the extraordinary progress of liberal opinions, and the extinction of the power of the Tories in the House of Commons, have given great firmness and confi dence to public opinion. The people do not expect impossibilities from the Administration Of Lord Grey, but they justly look forward to the obtainment of the ends of Parliamentary Itelorin, A few practical and decided measures of political reformation in our institutions of Church and State will amply satisfy the public expectation. Ministers will not be judged by the quantity but by the quality of their Inca swes ; and if the House of Commons should be less superstitiously devoted to the Govern ment, it must be still more hostile to Toryism, and as efficiently support Ministers in a liberal and straight=forward course of policy. Under any circumstances, the Conservatives may rest contented to continue a weak and expiring opposition to the " revolution" which has hap pily been effected in the representation of the people.—Morning Chronicle. The second session of the reformed Parlia ment commences this day, and the reforming Miristers have, as it seems to us, but little reason to glorify themselves upon their work ; almost indeed as little as the people of England, but not quite, for their pockets are the heavier for their experiment, which is more than can be said of any portion of their countrymen. The question which more than any other interests 1 the British community at the present moment, and with reference to which they view the open ing of the reformed Parliament with the deepest anxiety, is that of Church Reform, or robbery or destruction, for they have been taught to con sider robbery and destruction as implied in the Whig sense of the word reform. Whether the Church of England will he robbed, whether it will be destroyed, or whether alterations will be adopted in respect to its temporalities and civil polity, with the sanc tion of its legitimate rulers and guides, no one at this moment can guess. All depends upon the degree in which the ten-pound voters can be agitated upon the subject, or upon the degree rather in which his Majesty's present Ministers, who even upon a question of all others the most level to their capacities may be deceived, ima gine that the ten-pound voters are agitated. There is, however, in these circumstances some consolation in reflecting upon the display of strength, firmness, and zeal which the friends of the Church have made. This inspires us with the hope that the Reformed House of Commons, the creature and slave though it be of the Ministers who made the Bill which made the House, will be gentle in its attack upon the Church ; and it affords us, which is far better, the assurance that the House of Peers, backed by the best and most numerous portion of the British people, as upon this question at least they unquestionably are, will act fully up to their constitutional vo cation, and firmly maintain and uphold what is best worth preserving in the whole range of our national institutions. It is to the House of Lords, and to the House of Lords alone, of all the branches of the Legislature of Great Britain, that the nation now looks with any de gree of confidence, and upon the conduct of that body the question now depends, whether the Government of this country is completely re volutionized ? The question is not a question of party. The approaching struggle is not a struggle for place. Everysbody knows that the men now in power will, to preserve their places, submit to the predominant influence, be it what it may ; and we conscientiously believe, that what the predominant influence is to be depends entirely upon the House of Lords. We earnestly recommend a decided tone to the adop tion of the House of Lords, in the present situation of the country, because we are con vinced that no more is wanting to throw the whole authority of Government itito their hands. The House of .Commons is universally despised. Every hotly foresees that it will vote by a large majority upon every question, upon the church, upon the corn laws, upon the win dow tax, upon the malt tax, upon the corpora tions, upon the continuance of the Coercion Bill in Ireland, upon the brigandage which Lord Palmerston patronises in Portugal ; in short, upon every subject, foreign and domestic, pre cisely as it is told to vote by the IVlinisters of the Crown. It is the Whig Ministers' House of Commons, and, as the Whig Ministers are despised, their House of Commons enjoys in a similar degree the contempt of the community. It is at a crisis like the present, that the House of Lords is really valuable. And, if they fail in their duty to the country now, it will be evident to the best and firmest friends of the Aristocracy that such an institution has become obsolete and useless. There are persons who claim the title of Con servatives, and who yet, even in the circum stances of the present day, affect to dread a collision between the two Houses of Parlia ment. We do not participate in this feeling, which appears to us to be merely that of timi dity and weakness. Upon all questions of national importance the country looks up to the House of Lords, while nobody speculates upon what will be the conduct or opinions of the House of Commons with reference to the loftier or more interesting subject than the approaching interchange of words between the tail of Mr. O'Connell and the Radical Member for Hull, who one day after dinner, about six months ago, scandalised somebody, and has never since had the manliness or courage to declare who it was that he intended to scandalise. This will he a grand subject in the House of Commons. And the mere fact that such a subject is expected to be entertained in that assembly, is enough to convince the Upper House of Parliament that it is for them to attend to the business of the nation.—Morning Post. To-day the second chapter will be opened in the history of the reformed Parliament. We hope it will tell better for its independence and wisdom, and, consequently, for its future fame than the last. We hope it will display less am bition of idle talk—talk, which is too often neither eloquence, nor wit, nor sense—and more zeal and aptitude for real business. We know that great questions should be amply discussed, and even that those of minor importance may receive illumination by the light which is struck from the collision of debate—but then the debate should be intellectual—it should be that which displays the resources of thinking and well-in formed minds. A great deal of the talk of last session displayed nothing but the silly ambition of talking, without the power of com municating a ray of knowledge or original thought to the subject under discussion. Take it altogether, the intellect exhibited within the walls of Parliament was rather below the average intellect of the nation—if not, the " march of mind" must be backwards. We trust we shall not again have to reprehend those indecorous scenes so disgraceful to the deliberative Council of the nation that frequently occurred last Ses sion—scenes in which adverse opinion, which it ' (night be difficult to answer, was shouted down by clamour and wild uproar—scenes wherein figured Senators gifted with the extraordinary accomplishments of crowing like cocks and hooting like owls—living proofs of the rapid strides which intellect is making in the nine teenth century. Whatever may be thought of the talent and knowledge which are brought to the discussion of questions of domestic policy in the House of Commons, and we admit that, notwithstanding the mediocre character of the House in general, there are several Members capable of handling questions of this sort with ability and intelligence, yet it is a melancholy truth, that there is scarcely a representative of this great nation to be found at the present day who is capable of taking a luminous and comprehensive view of questions of foreign policy. If there had been such men in the House last session—men like those who figured in the ranks of the Opposition during ttie American war, Ministers could not have gone on as they have done, in weaving a web of, perhaps, inextricable embarrassment for our fo reign interests ; nor would the Autocrat of Russia now mix with his "amicable assurances" to England every possible insult, while he scorns the land of Chatham and of Pitt—of "Marlborough and of Wellington—of Blake and Nelson, anti his influence from East to West—from North to South, controls the des tinies of Europe ! 0 ! for some independent representatives of the spirit of England to stop this march of barbarism !—Morning Herald. The subject of the assessed taxes occupied more than one public meeting in the metropolis yesterday. .Marylebone and St. Pancras both met on the same subject—that of pressing upon the Legislature the just claims of the people of England to be delivered from the galling op pression of the house and window taxes. Our limits do not allow us to give the two meetings; we, therefore, select that of Marylebone as the more important. It is now distinctly under stood that the house tax is to cease on the sth of April, but that the window tax is to be con tinued, on the ground that the Chancellor of the Exchequer cannot afford to part with it. There is another question that should be con sidered at the same time—Can the people of England afford to pay it ? Can the people of the metropolis, on whom it chiefly falls, afford, or will they tamely submit, while a constitutional remedy lies within their reach, to be drained under their present difficulties by the tax-gatherer and the tax Minister, for the purpose of keeping up, in addition to the overgrown establishments of the country, an overgrown pension list upon which hundreds of the aristocracy and their parasites enjoy a sort of splendid beggary, of which an honest man would be ashamed ? The proceed ings of the two meetings, where strong resolu tions were unanimously carried, may be taken as an answer, and a very satisfactory answer, to the above question. The proceedings which are likely to follow in other parishes will not only ' re-echo this answer, but, if characterised by the same zeal and unanimity, will extinguish the question itself. It is impossible that such a tax as the window tax—a tax upon light and air, upon cleanliness and comfort and health—a tax which, besides its own inherent wrongs, is a memento of bad faith on the part of the Go vernment, can resist the united voice of the people, when not one word can be said in its justification, but that it is necessary as a means of keeping up ruinously expensive establish ments and a whole band of hungry pensioners, who can show no other claim to the good things they devour than the teeth, good anebad, with which they devour them. It will be seen by the report of the meeting, from which we will not attempt to detain our readers by further comments of our own, that Mr. Hume, Sir Samuel Whalley, and other public men, declared their conviction of the success of a vigorous exertion on the part of the people for the removal of the whole of these taxes. Let the example, then, be followed. A good beginning is now made, let it be the prelude to a successful end.—Morning Herald. It gives us much regret to learn that the op position manifested last year by the Bishop of London to the performance of Scriptural dra matic representations on Wednesdays and Fri days during Lent has been revived with reference to the ensuing season. We cannot understand how any true Christian feeling can be offended, or any irreligious taste or practice promoted, by the presentation of sacred dramas, interspersed with, or composed in, music. On the contrary, it would appear that the more attractive and complete such performances could be rendered —first granting that they are really of the sacred, that is, the oratorio, character—the more must they be deemed likely to engage and elevate the audience, and to clear away from their minds any gross or vicious adulterations. If sacred music be directly favourable to religious sensi bility and reverence, why should the same music, when it b..comes a powerful stimulant to such emotions by assistance drawn from the forms and resources of the drama, be so changed in character as to justify a learned Prelate in ren dering it inaccessible to the whole community ? Is it not preposterous to say that a band of professional musicians may sing a sacred drama, but that they shall not dare to reinforce the spirit or expression of the music by corresponding action ? Is it humane to cut off these laborious artists from such an additional means of eking out the scanty fruits of their nightly or weekly industry ? All other trades, all other callings, are carried on throughout Lent without the slightest interruption. The business of Parlia ment, some of it of a not unworldly, at least of a not eminently religious or edifying nature, is transacted by my Lords the Bishops them selves, on Wednesdays and Fridays, in the evening. Sentiments not the most evangelical may, perchance, be roused into activity by some of those proceedings which through the whole of the Lent season are supposed to occupy my Lords the Bishops. We have not heard that the whole of the 40 days,—or, indeed, that one-half,--nay, or a smaller portion of the Wednesdays and Fridays, ending with Good Friday, are spent by the Right Rev. Lords in fasts, or other efforts of extraordinary mortifica tion. Why, then, should the Bishop of Lon don be so desirous to do that by proxy, which, if in person it were proposed to him, he might allege had a smack of superstition ? Why should he force others to acts of abstinence from rational, refined, and even devout enjoyment, when his Lordship sets no example of foregoing any of his own accustomed pleasures ? Really this is too bad. Religion cannot be served by such harsh and gloomy prohibitions. The Church cannot be served by them, nor the Bishops rendered either more formidable or more beloved. Dr. Blomfield has made an egre grious blunder in his chronology. He has for gotten the lapse of almost 200 years. Would his Lordship like to bring back the dominion of the Puritans ? Is that the sort of millennium which the good Bishop longs for ?—Times. The sentence of the courtmartial on Captain Wathen, together with his Majesty' s d ec ision hereon, have been printed, and published as at General Order, signed by the Adjutant-General. It is not too much to say, that a sentence and decision have never yet been pronounced more honourable to the justice, wisdom, and spirit of t he Court, and of the still higher authority from , which they have respectively emanated. In one word, Captain Wathen has been " honourably' acquitted of each, and all the charges" pre ferred against him ; and, after the recital of, some severe animadversions of the Court itself on the conduct . of the prosecutor, 44 his Ma jesty has been pleased to order that Lieutenant- Colonel Lord Brudenell shall be removed from the command of the 15th Hussars." On this final disposal of an unjust prosecution and of its author, we have nothing to remark which may not already have struck the minds of every man who loves the well-being of the British army, its discipline, its efficiency, and its honour. All these essential and vital objects must be deeply endangered by the proceedings of any Lieutenant-Colonel who makes spies of inferiors upon their seniors in command, —who encou rages non-commissioned officers and private soldiers to undervalue and misrepresent the officers placed over them by his Majesty,— and, above all, who resorts to the insuffer able meanness of evesdropping for the careless private conversation of gentlemen, and taking down their words without their knowledge, with a view to frame penal charges against them, as future opportunity may serve. The dis pensers of military patronage too—a patronage which we are bound in conscience to say has, generally speaking, been purely and honestly ad ministered—will receive from the unhappy bu,t, merited fate of Lord Brudenell, a salutary warn ing for their future guidance. This officer was a man of no experience. We are told that he never did fair regimental duty for more than three years of his life. He was not less incapa citated for command by temper than by igno rance of his business as a commanding officer, both professional and moral. Such a man, there fore, never ought to have been placed at the head of a regiment, more especially to the rejection of other gentlemen who had been majors in the army before he got his Cornet's commission. However, we feel confident that such an error will not again be perpetrated, at least not soon. —Times. The sentence of the Courtmartial in the case of Captain Wathen, followed up by the removal of Lord Brudenell from the command of the 15th Regiment of Hussars, will give great satis faction to the army, and to all who take an in terest in the well-being of so important a class of fellow-citizens. Subordination is the life and soul of a❑ army but subordination does not imply subjection to a system of degrading tor ture. A man does not enter the army with an idea that he is never to know a moment free from care and anxiety, and that there is an eye constantly intent on all he does—an ear con stantly open to all he says, with a view to find matter of critnination against him. It is an implied condition in every walk of life that a man must have a fair share of comfortable existence. When the string is drawn too tight it breaks. This is a truth that all men in com mand should have constantly present to them. It is the most dangerous of all experiments to try how much men will bear before they become refractory. He is always most sure of being obeyed who takes care to keep within *the fair limits of authority. Lord Brudenell is evidently a man so ill-conditioned, to use a well known phrase, as to be very unfit to command others. As a character of this kind is not formed at once, his friends must have seen with pain many indications of the disposition displayed in the command of the 15th Hussars long ago, and they ought, in stead of exerting their interest to have him rapidly raised over the heads of men of more military experience than himself, to have kept him in situations where he could not expose himself to the misfortune that has befallen him. From all that we have heard of the proceedings of the two courtsrnartial, we should deem Lord Brude nell a very singular man in these times. The details remind us of times when there was more scope for the exercise of a tyrannical disposi tion, than in this comparatively tame age. It may be our ignorance of military and naval life ; but we have somehow or other been led to be lieve, that persecution is much less common now than it once was in both branches of the service. We had imagined that those prominent characters which abound in our old novels, and which, to a certain extent, had their types in real life, were now to be found only in old novels. Speaking of novels naturally brings to our recollection the advice of the Commander.in- Chief to Zeluco, in the novel of that name, by the accomplished father of Sir John Moore : " Strict discipline is essentially requisite for the well being of the army; without which it degenerates into a lawless mob, more formidable to their friends than ene mies—the ravagers, not the defenders, of their country. " But it is equally essential that discipline be exercised with temper and with justice—a capricious and cruel exertion of power in officers depresses the spirits of the private men, and extinguishes that daring ardour which glows in the breast of a real soldier. " Is it possible that a man of a generous mind can treat with wanton cruelty those who are not permitted to resist, or even to expostulate, however brave they w iy - be ?" • • • s s • ".You ought to remember, gentlemen, that as military discipline looks to the general tendency and remote consequences of things, more than to their intrinsic criminality, many actions are treated as crimes by the military laws which in themselves are innocent or frivolous. And when a soldier, irritated by undeserved insult, over leaps subordination, and repels the wanton tyranny of an officer, however he may be condemned by the unrelenting laws of discipline, he will be absolved by the natural feeling of the human heart, which revolts at oppression ; nor will appear, even in the eyes of those who think his punishment expedient, an object either of contempt or aversion. But when an officer, armed with the plwer, and intrenched within the limits of discipline, indulges unmanly passion, or private hatred, against an unprotected or unresisting soldier, in what light can this officer appear, either in his own eyes or in those of others ?" Though the above passage has reference to the oppression exercised towards a private, it admits of application upwards. Lord Brudenell is of an ultra-Tory family ; but we will not do Tories the injustice to charge on them what evidently is attributable to individval peculiarity. The lesson, however, will not be lost. It will, we trust, impress on the minds of Noble Lords who find no difficulty in passing in the race of preferment old and experienced officers, that it is not enough to obtain the command of a regi ment,—they must also possess the command over their own passions, for no man can hope with impunity to make those under his command unnecessarily unhappy.—Morning Chronicle. THE PILFERING, CALCULATING SYSTEM OF SERVANTS.—In a lodging-house, where there were seven gentlemen who took breakfast and tea at home, having engagements in the city during the day, one female servant waited on them all. Etch lodger kept his tea caddy, having a lock and key. One of the young men, when at home among his friends, was, in conversation, asked by his sister how much tea and sugar he consumed. When he pained the quantity, he was severely reprimanded for his extravagance. Subsequently, reflecting on the subject, he was convinced something was wrong, and Le determined to mike an experiment. He commenced by counting every day the number of knobs of sugar he left in the glass basin when he locked it up ; he also put into the caddy a certain quantity of tea, which balanced to a nicety, keeping a weight by him for the purpose. Pursuing, this plan regularly, he found that between every interval of locking his caddy and again opening it, precisely four knobs of sugar were ab stracted, and about one large teaspoonful of tea. He now communicated his discovery to his fellow lodgers, who all adopted the same plan, and the same results occurred in every case. So that, supposing each caddy to be opened for use twice a day, the aggregate daily loss would be 56 knobs of sugar and 14 spoonsful of tea.—Fraser's Mag.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 3. HARDMAN V. ELLAMES. ----- His LORDSHIP gave judgment to-day in the two pleas put in by the defendant in this cause to the plaintiff's bill. His Lordship had now to dispose of an appeal from a decision of his Honour the Vice- Chancellor, who had over-ruled two pleas put in to the plaintiff's bill, which the present appellants con tended were good and correct pleas. A bill was filed, in which it was alleged that John Hardman demised certain estates to his executors for a term of ninety-nine years, with remainder to his nephews, and in default of their issue to his next proper heir at-law. It was supposed that Jane Hardman, the widow of the testator, and one of his executors, had entered into possession, and that she or her personal representative had continued to receive the rents and profits of such estate up to the year 1815 It was proved that the nephews had died intestate and without issue. The plaintiff claimed by his bill a moiety of the estate in question, as being heir-at-law to the testator; and to that bill the defendant had put in two pleas, which alleged that there had been an adverse possession of the estate in question from the death of the testator in 1755, and that the per sonal representatives of Jane Hardman did neither enter into possession nor receive the rents and over ruledpro- by hisv these ice .p c l pleas had b Vice-Chancellor, cr eannd hea nowfitso confirmed t t thee.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation from the defendant for a breach of covenant. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to points reserved by the Judge, with liberty to enter a nonsuit. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, FEB. 1. BARNES V. COLONEL HAMPTON AND ROBERTS AND ALKEN. The plaintiff in this cause was Mr. William Barnes, jeweller and silversmith, in Henrietta street, Cavendish-square, who, by a process peculiar, we believe, to this Court, sought to obtain a sum of money in the hands of Messrs. Roberts and Aiken, solicitors, Copthall-buildings, alleged to belong to Colonel Robert Hampton, in the right of his wife, against whom he (the plaintiff) had a demand of about 7501. for jewellery and plate alleged by him to have been furnished to her. Mr. Gurney, on the pact of the plaintiff, said this was a process by which a creditor who was un able to find the person of the debtor, but who had found money belonging to him, could attach that money. The first proceeding, therefore, in the pre sent case, would be to find whether the garnishees, Messrs. Roberts anti Aiken, had moneys in their hands belonging to Colonel Hampton, and if so, to require to have the keeping of those moneys as part security for the plaintiff's debt. All present, he expected, knew the peculiar circumstances of the case, and he should only refer to them on those points where it was necessary for the interest of the cause. The plaintiff, Mr. William Barnes, was a silversmith ; the defendant was Colonel Robert Hampton, in the East India Company's service, now abroad, who was indebted to the plaintiff about 7501. for jewellery furnished to his wife. The gar nishees, Messrs. Roberts and Alken, had money in their hands, belonging to Mrs. Hampton,which motley the plaintiff now sought to obtain. Some time ago Mrs. Colonel Hampton employed Ann Vickers, her maid -servant, to pledge certain articles of jewellery to redeem other jewellery. According to the orders she had received, Ann Vickers did so, and after the trans action a balance was left in her hands of about 351. This sum Ann Vickers took with her to Margate, where Mrs. Hampton then was ; but when she gave the money to her mistress, in place of admitting that she had authority for what she had done, to her great surprise, Mrs. Hampton handed the money over to Mr. Tuffnell, and gave her into custody on a charge of felony. The proceedings on this charge terminated in the acquittal of Ann Vickers. The money given to Mr. Tuffnell was placed in the hands of Messrs. Roberts and Aiken, the solicitors, who conducted the case. It might, perhaps, be alleged on the part of the garnishees, that they had a el-dm on this sum for expenses incidental to the prosecu - ion, but he should be enabled to prove that those gentlemen had been employed by Mr. Wm. Tuffnell, and not Mrs. Hampton, therefore it was to that gentleman they were to look for their costs. It would be sufficient for the plaintiff's case to show that Messrs. Roberts and Alken had 35/. in their hands which had been taken from Ann Vickers. After evidence had been given, at some length, a verdict was found for the defendants. A few minutes after the verdict was returned Schofield, an officer of Marlborough-street, got into the box to make an application to the Court, and to protest against a proceeding on the part of Mr. William Barnes. He had in his custody certain duplicates of valuable property found, together with Mr. William Barnes's amorous epistles to Ann Vickers, in her box. In order to obtain possession of this property Mr. Barnes had served him with a subpoena some time ago, in order to get him into the city, that he might serve him with a process from the Lord Mayor's Court. He had no evi dence to give in that case; but as soon as he got as far as Bartlett's-buildings, he had been served with this process by Mr. Barnes. He had of course at tended to the subpoena, which was for the case just concluded, although he had no evidence to give. 'While its Court Mr. Barnes had served him with another process, relative to the property in his pos session. He had therefore, he considered, been twice inveigled by Mr. Barnes into the city in order to suit his particular object. RECORDER the RDER is, my Lord. your discharged application, 2 Schofield—lt , is to have t A gentleman named Whitehead next got up , and —And subpoena said he too had some property ID his possession be longing to Mrs. Hampton, in order to get at which Mr. Barnes had adopted the same line of conduct towards him. The Court directed both these patties to retire and make affidavits of those facts, which being done, the Learned RECORDER, after some very strong and pointed remarks on the step taken by Mr. Barnes, granted a rule nisi. SURREY SESSIONS, FEB. 3. IMPORTANT APPEAL. ----- At the Adjourned Sessions, which commenced this day, the Court was occupied the greater part of the day in hearing an appeal against a rate at which a gas manufactory at Kingston-upon-Thames was assessed. erected I t Be r Mr. MM y J aa E ii S t l:fg tv T h T s gasometero ‘ ad l vi i ans t h t teh m a the appellant e i neighbourhood hb o spirited u i n r iiooi dn o d f ivi du this e case, King ston, for the purpose of supplying that town with gas. The a pp e ll ant, h owever , i ns t ea d o f mee ti ng with encouragement, was opposed strongly by the maltsters, a trade carried on to a considerable extent in the town. When the maltsters found that they could not succeed in smashing the manufactory in its infancy by information as a nuisance, they adopted other steps, which were also unattended with success; and lastly, had recourse to a meeting at vestry, at which the appellant's manufactory was assessed at 2001. per annum, a sum considerably be yond that at which he should have been rated.
