empire was composed of adamant, it would be crushed to pieces by political economists. He gave his solemn ne gative to the proposition. Sir M. W. RIDLEY was opposed to the proposition, because he thought the kelp-manufacturer an infant ma nufacturer, and therefore standing in need of encourage ment. The British alkali was composed of salt and sul phuric acid, awl the carriage of the materials to form these employed three times as many tons of shipping as were employed in the carriage of the barilla. He begged the House to consider the propriety of a gradual reduction of duty instead of a large reduction at once, in effect, giving protection to foreigners. Mr. ROBINSON cordially supported the proposition, and thought the eons( quences of it had been ridiculously over-rated. Even if what had been , aid about the effect it would have upon the kelp-manufacturers were true —which it was not—still their interests ought not to be put in competition with the interests of commerce ge nerally, nor even with the interests of the manufacturers and consumers of soap. Mr. WARBURTON thought that his Right Hon. Friend the Vice President of the Board of Trade had done quite right. It was, in fact, making the chymical engine with which the manufacturers had to work as cheap as possible. If they made the proper article dearer, they would compel the manufacturer to have recourse to an in ferior article as a substitute. He begged to state fur the benefit of the Hon. Member for Newark (Mr. Sadler,) that by giving the manufacturer all the prime engines fin• his use, they took the surest mode of furnishing e mp l oy _ ment for labour. ___ _ Sir JOHN BURKE, admitting the principles bit down by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, wal still rather inclined to proceed with caution. An Hon. MEMBER recommended that they should revert to the former drawback rather than adopt the proposed measure. Mr. SYKES supported the motion. If political eco nomy were at all like the doctrines of the Hon. Member for Newark (Mr. Sadler), it would indeed deserve all that Hon. Member said against it. He always remarked that people who were most violent in their abuse of political economy, were sure to have some absurd notion of legis lation of their own. It was so obvious that the present proposition must give employment to labour, that the only satisfactory solution of the ground which the Hon. Mem• her for Newark had taken, was that the Hon. Member might have an opportunity of railing at the political economists.—(Hear, and laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would not detain the House many minutes. The Hon. Member for Newark had spoken with much zeal and declamation re specting the poverty that existed in the country ; but la menting that poverty as much as man could, still allow him to say that the course which the Hon. Member for Newark advocated would add to, and not diminish it.—(Hear.) It was a great mistake to suppose that the measure of his Right Hon. Friend the Vice-President of the Board of Trade would destroy the kelp manufacturers ; and it was well known that wherever kelp and barilla were applicable to the same purposes, the barilla, even now, drove the kelp out of the market. He was surprised to hear the Hon. Member for Newark say, that there was nothing which free trade had touched which it had not destroyed. The extension of the silk trade, and of other trades, to which the principles of free trade had been, in some degree applied, quite dis proved that assertion. He denied that the introduction of barilla, at the duty proposed, would have the effect of de stroying the manufacture of kelp. The reason why British barilla was not employed in the slap trade was, because it imparted a sulphurous smell to the soap, and it was there fore of importance to that trade that the foreign barilla should be imported at a cheap rate. _ _ Mr. Alderman WAITIBIAN denied that there had been any real or prosperous extension of the silk trade on account of the application of the principles of free trade. 11r. :,ADLER maintained that the principles of free trade could not be Justly or fairly applied to a country en eumstanced as this was. If this country were upon the same footing with ether countriea, no man would be more ready than he would then be to advocate a free and unrestricted commercial intercourse with regard to all possible sorts of raw and manufactured produce. If it were in his power, be would rather support than oppose Ministers. Mr. MABERLY said that any person who had any thing to do with practical concerns must be aware that the arguments of the Hon. Member for Newark, with regard to the employment of the poor, were most fallaci ous. He would say to that Hon. Member, let him bring that question before the House in the shape of a motion, and let the subject be thoroughly sifted to the bottom, and he (Mr. Motherly) would engage that that Hon. Member's arguments and statements would receive a com plete and most triumphant answer. Sir E. KNATCHBULL conceived that the Hon. Member for Abingdon, with all * his ability, was a little mistaken if he supposed that he could answer in two minutes a speech of two hours. He (Sir E. Knatchbull) was satisfied with the explanation of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. P. Thomson) as far as the Government was concerned. A recurrence, however, of such a precedent should be prevented. This was a dif ferent question for those who were out of office, and who never expected to be in office, and for those who were in. and those who were contending to get in again ; and it was one with regard to which the House ought distinctly to assett its privileges. For his part he would say, that as long as the Government continued to support the bona fide interests of the country, they should have his support. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON stated, that from the in formation which he had received on this subject, and which was totally different from that mentioned by the Hon. Member for Newark, he could deny that the conse quence had been that 40,000 people had been thrown out of employment in Scotland. He should support the re solutions. The keeping up the duty on the raw produce materially affected the manufactured article. Mr. ATTWOOD said, that he, should certainly vote against the resolutions, for he had not heard a single con vincing fact or argument urged from the other side of the House in support of them. The country was in a de plorable state, and they would be allowed to seek for the cure foe all its various evils in the nostrums of political economy alone. They had come, it seemed, to the last refinement of Government, —when the Government was confided to philosophers. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, in what he had done, bad usurped the functions of that House, of which it ought to be peculiarly jealous. Having committed such an error, instead of bringing for ward resolutions likq, the present, Ministers out to have in troduced a Bill of Indemnity, stating the grounds upon which they had interfered where the House of Commons should alone be competent to interfere, and seeking for an acquittal from the House, instead of compelling the Honse to register the acts of political imbecility. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER depre cated further discussion upon what had already been ad mitted to have been an error. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was necessary to give a latitude in such cases to Government, but which ought never to be exercised but upon necessity, and when that necessity could be explained to the House. The question was totally distinct from that of free trade, and it stood upon its own merits. Mr. BERRIES said, that the question was simply whether the duty on barilla were too high or not, and it bad no relation to the question of free trade. Mr. HUME thought that the question did involve that Of free trade, and that, upon the principle of free trade, barilla ought to be relieved from duties. The measures pursued respecting the silk trade was a triumphant answer to those who argued against the reduction of the duty upon barilla. Sir G. CLERK said that he hoped when the question was next under discussion, to have the assistance of the President of the Board of Controul, who in 1804 had con tributed to raise the duty upon barilla. Mr. HUNT said that as he had always intended to vote on one side or the other of every question, he should now state why he intended to give a vote in favour of his Ma jesty's Ministers. As soon as he understood the point at issue, it was that Ministers had committed an error, and now that they bad explained, there was an end to it, espe cially when be found that the opposition Members had made errors of a similar description.—(Cries of " No, no.")—" Then," said the Hon. Member, " I am in error."—(A laugh.) —He had called the attention of the public to the question, but having made further inquiries into the subject, he found that he had made allusions which he ought not to have done. He now regretted that the whole duty was not taken off. After a few words from Mr. G. RoSINSON, Mr. SLA NEy, Mr. MORRISON, Mr. DAWSON, and Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN, the clause was carried; and the Bill having passed through the Committee , the report was or d ere d to be received on Wednesday next. The House then resumed. FINANCE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gay notice that upon Friday next he intended to state t he view s of his Majesty's Ministers upon several financial questions. The House then proceeded to the Orders of the Day. Mr. HUME gave notice of a motion which he intended to make to-morrow, respecting the Militia. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from the inhabitants of St. John's, Clerkentren, praying for an abolition of the Corn Laws. Mr. HUNT postponed his moti r a repeal of the Corn Laws, tvhich stood for Thursday, the 3d of March, till after the question of Reform should be disposed 4*, not wishing to embarrass that question. The Hon. Member presented a petition from manufacturers, traders, shopkeepers, and others, of Ashton-under-Line, against the Truck System, Mr. P. TIIOAISON presented a petition from Folke stone, in favour of Reform in Parliament. Lord HOWICK presented a petition from Sunderland for the Abolition of Negro Slavery, and gave notice for Friday of a Bill relative to the affairs of Canada. Lord EBRINGTON presented several petitions against negro slavery ; also a petition from Bohermore, , in the county of Galway, for an extension of the Galway franchise, and a petition from Tramore, in the county of Waterford, praying that the funds granted for the pro 'notion of education in Ireland be no longer confided to the management of the Kildare-street Society. Mr. BLOUNT gave notice for Friday of a Bill to alter and amend the double laud tax assessment. • Mr. RICE presented a petition for an extension of the Galway franchise, and moved for various accounts con nected with the income and expenditure of the United Kingdom of Great Ihitain and Ireland in the years 1830 and /131/, of Exchequer Bills issued, and of payments to be made by the East India Company as half-pay to the forces in India. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from the Alderturn, Common Council, and inhabitants of the ward of Farringdon Within, for a repeal of the coal duty, and expressed his concurrence in the prayer of the petition. Mr. HUNT hoped that the restrictions and regulations imposed upon coal through the medium of the corporation of London would be done away with. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said a gill was about to be brought in to remove many of the restrictions and ex penses at present imposed upon coal brought into the port of London. Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON presented a petition from Protestant inhabitants of the parish of Ballindooley, in the county of Galway, for an extension of the Galway fran chise. The Hon. Member toll( occasion to ohs;rve that he found it impossible to approve of some of the recent acts of the Irish Government—acts, which had n (laced the country to a state more alarming than gentlemen in that House could have any notion of. He gave notice of his intention to move, te-morrow, for copies of proclamations issued by Lords Lieutenant of Ireland since the passing of the Act for the suppression of illegal meetings and associa tions ; also for a copy of the letter addressed by the present chief Secretary for Ireland to the magistracy on the subject. Mr. RICE ebserved that his Right Hon. Friend, the chief Secretary for Ireland, would not be in his place to morrow, and requested the Hon. Member for Clare to postpone his notice till his Right Hon. Friend's arrival. Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON had no desire to do any thing calculated to militate against the chief secretary for Ireland, especially in the Right Hon. Gentleman's absence; nevertheless, he thought it incumbent upon him not to lose a single moment in pressing upon the House the frightful condition of Ireland ; the rather, as the people of this country appeared as ignorant of its affairs as of the state of Kintschatka. Mr. SLANEY gave notice of his intention to move, on the 21th of March, for the appointment of a Select Com mittee to consider the necessity of securing open spaces in the immediate vicinity of large and populous towns fitted to preserve health and afford means of exercise to the working classes.--Adjourned at Ttu o'clock.

Lord ALTHORP gave notice last night, that on Friday next he would bring forward his Financial statement. His Lordship also expressed his readiness to let the edious Pension List take its chance of being further cut down in the Committee. This honest acknowledgment will improve the Committee's ideas of " mercy"—if any such were entertained to wards persons who have hitherto exhibited so little sense of shame. The Paris Papers of Sunday announce that the King of the FRENCH has positively refused the Crown of Belgium for his son. This is as it ought to be after his previous solemn declarations-- but still we have our doubts. There is coquetry in politics as well as in love—and we shall not be sur prised to learn that another appeal—a last suppli cating effort—will prove too much for nerves already smitten with ambition's last. Temptation is always the more irresistible where the will is ready.' The news from Poland in these Papers adds little to our last accounts : PA KIS, FEB. 6.—Nothing is spoken of to-day but the election of the Duke de Nensours, and the refu•al of the proffered Crown by the French Government. Much stress is laid on the latter circumstance by the adherents of the Ministry; because, as they contend, it proves the good faith of France, and her sincere desire to preserve peace; hut others pretend to see the affair in a different point of view. The partisans of Government say that this is the last " sacrifice" France will make. • The only thing which we are inclined to credit in the following extracts from German Papers is the separation of Poland from Russia, and the declaration of Polish independence. Indeed, we have heard that the throne of Poland is declared vacant. if so, we hope they will get a King without the assistance of a Sovereign Congress, such as Belgium has had re course to : ST. PI.TEASBURGH, JAN. 1 9.—Soon after the receipt of the first news of the insurrection in Warsaw, the Em peror addressed special rescripts to the authorities in th e Governments adjoining the kingdom of Poland, with or_ ders to make known to the Governments under them the events that had occurred, and to express the firm confi dence of his Majesty that the nobility and all the. inhabi tants of those Governments would feel, in common with all true sons of Russia, just indignation against the wicked disturbers of the general tranquillity, and would not ne gl,et, under the present circumstances, to shew by acts their loyalty as faithful subjects by implicitly submitting to all the measures which the Government employ, by strictly maintaining order and tranquillity, and by punctu ally fulfilling all the duties prescribed by the laws. At the i ns t ance o f t h e Minister of Finance an Imperial Decree has b een i ssue d , b y which all importation of goods f o r r o d m er s t , h a e n kingdom i o nosf ar P e ol g an iv d en is no p t ro t h o ib r i ec te eive prohibited till l n fu m rth or e e r certificates of or i g i n f rom the Commissioners of the Wai wodeships and other authorities. AVQSaURG, JAN. 31..—A private letter from Warsaw of January 25, affirms7that on the preceding day the se paration of Poland from Russia, and its entire independ ence, had been decreed. BERLIN, JAN. 26.—The Duke of Mortemart entrusted with an extraordinary mission from the King of the French to the Emperor Nicholas, after having had the honour of being invited to his Majesty's table, set out again the even ing before yesterday on his journey to St. Petersburgh. It is since reported in all quarters, that the Duke not only confirmed verbally the pacific intentions of the French Government, but also affirmed, that it by no means teas deficient in strength to keep in check the two extreme minorities which with opposite views desire war, and that his mission to St. Peters burgh did not in any manner tend to an interference of France in the affairs of Poland. This news has a little counteracted the bad impression which the late warlike speeches in the French Chamber of Deputies had generally made, and our funds, as well as the Russian, rose consider. ably. In Poland disunion and confusion seems to increase every day. You will not wholly believe the accounts given by the families who have fled, how melancholy the state of affairs is, with what difficulty and pecuniary sa crifice they have escaped from all the frightful scenes, 10,000 Polish florins having been paid for a passport. Let us only read the letter which the old experienced Nie meiwita (the Lafayette of the Poles as they call him) has had printed and published, and we shall be convinced that the Polish revolution was not a necessary event, but the inconsiderate act of a few hot-headed indi viduals, and must therefore fail, whether blood shall flow, or what every true friend of Po land must now wish, the melancholy affair arranged by magnanimity on the one hand, and repentance on the other; with repentance that they had not the real elevation of soul openly to lay their grievances before the throne, but instead of that had recourse to perjury, conspiracy, assassination, and pillage to com mence the work of liberty, which in Poland was never any thing more than the liberty of the Nobleman to misuse at his pleasure his peasants and the Jews (citizens there were none). When French and English Journals speak of their sympathy with the Po!es, they are not to be blamed for this, inasmuch as they arc acquainted only with some accomplished and amiable travellers of that nation, but have no notion of the nation itself, that is to say, of the place of the great mass in the scale of civilization. But if the greatest possible liberty is to be given to nations before all civilization, we ask why the English have not given a better example in their Colonies, and even in the lonian Islands. On the other hand, if a community of languages is to determine the boundaries oi nations, the Russian and the Polish are but branches of the same stock, whereas the inhabitants of Strasburg and Paris speak two languages radically dif ferent from each. No nation becomes free till it is ripe for freedom, and then only so far free as it is worthy of freedom. Therefore, is the freedom of the French dif ferent from that of the English ; therefore do we, Prus• sians, under a Government despotic in its form, enjoy a high degree of freedom which is progressively increasing, and therefore are the proclamations of the Emperor Nicholas to the Poles, and the Duke of Cambridge to the inhabitants of Gottingen, pretty nearly of the same tenor. . . Aucsautta, Fan. - I.—Public Journals have letters from Vienna, of the 21st of January, which say—" M. de Montbel, Ex-Minister of Charles X., who resides here, has, in consequence of a summons sent to him from Paris, given a declaration to M. Pasquier, President of the Chamber of Peers, which, when it is published, will pro duce an extraordinary sensation. VIENNA, JAN. 28.—Four per Cents. 791 ; Bank Shares 1,032. The following are extracts from Lisbon Gazettes to the 29th of January : Ltsnow, Jaw. 25.—His Majesty has been pleased to appoint to the post of Governor. General of Macao, Major- General Verissimo Ante Cardoso, Inspector-General of the Cavalry, in which post he is succeeded by Major-General Alvaro Xavier da Tonseca Coutinha Provoas, who quits the Government of the province of Upper Beira. LISBON, Jaw. 27.—We have just received positive in formation from London, of the 19th inst., of the failure of the new attempt of the rebels, enemies to the tranquil lity to Portugal, to obtain funds for the pretended Govern ment of the island of Terceira, by trying to contract a loan, which the good sense of the British merchants not only did not listen to, but destroyed all hopes that they might conceive of making a similar attempt in future. It was resolved by the Committee of the Stock Exchange, by 14 votes to six, not to admit the loan undertaken by the Regency of Terceira. The result is not only the refusal to admit this proposed loan, but it extends to every other that Brazil may attempt to negotiate without having first paid bona fide the holders of the bonds of the loan which Brazil took on itself by the treaty of 29th Aug., 1825. We beg to direct the attention of the Borough mongers, and their robber-train the Pensioners, to an article in this day's Sun, entitled YORKSHIRE POLITICAL UNIONS. If these locusts of the State entertain any doubt as to the cause of the national distress, they will find a true but melancholy solu tion in that document. They will find more—they will learn that spoliation has had its accursed day-- and that endurance has had its limit—that Britons will no longer be insulted with the mockery of " Freedom," while groaning under the basest slavery,—that the people are become sensible of their former folly, ignorance, and supine ness, and of their present experience, knowledge, and collective power—that knowing and feeling all these things they now put confidence in themselves, look ing for justice because it is their right—and freedom because it is their inheritance. Knowledge is power—a truth which even the Boroughmongers believe and tremble, though " Reform" with them can never come too late. But— " 2Voiu's the day, and now's the hour!" One of the most striking features in the Reform question is the immense quantity of talent that its discussion has been every where the means of de veloping. It has stung into a sort of indignant acti vity all the beet energies of the count ry,which had been previously sunk " full fathom five" in torpor. At Durham—at Lincoln—in the North of Ireland—of Wales—and more particularly throughout Scotland, we have read speeches on this great question which would reflect no discredit on the most eloquent and practised debaters in either House of Parliament. The speech of Mr. CUTIIBERT RIPPON at the late Durham county meeting—a report of which appears in The Sun of to-day—is one of those efforts which do honour to the national intellect. It is essentially English in its earnestness and candour; English in the full vein of sound sense that pervades it; Eng lish in its simple—natural—straight-forward elo quence. Under a better representative system this speech would doubtless have speedily introduced Mr. RIPPON into the House of Commons: but as that House is at present constituted, it can only operate to his exclusion. It is not native ability, but ability of a certain caste of character that attaches itself to the interests of a particular party, that can now hope for success in political life. Even BURKE himself, notwithstanding his unrivalled prophetic sagacity, met with comparative failure until he" to party gave up what was meant for mankind." In a short time, however, we may expect to see, in deed we must see, these errors of the representa tive system removed ; and the monopoly of the Boroughmongers—who, whether Whig or Tory, take care to keep down all but their own set—wholly arid fur ever abolished. Let the people have fair play, and we do not fear the issue. The House of Commons will then become the representative as well of the intellect, as of the political wants of the country, and a general stimulus will be given to ta lent and perseverance, by the fact that they will meet with proper encouragement. At present, mo nopoly ruins . every thing. Church—State—Law-- ok. the Army and the Navy, are each and all trampled down beneath the feet of this hydra-headed mon ster, which . Reform can only destroy! One of the greatest obstacles to Parliamentary Reform,has always been the difficulty of getting Reformers to 'agree upon any principle which shall materially extend the right of voting, without en dangering the security of property. Our existence as a civilised and populous nation depends upon the conjoint operation of labour and capital. Without the constant appliances of labour we should all of us starve, without the aid of capital one-half of our present numbers would be starved, and the re mainder be miserable. Property as well as popu lation, therefore, must be regarded in every altera tion in the powers of Government. But property requires especial protection, because the possession of it, by foul means as well as fair, is the great ob ject of human contention. If universal suffrage were adopted without some effective counterpoise, it is but too evident it would lead to universal anarchy, civil war, and famine. There would be seven voters without property for one who had any. The seven would outvote the one, and return Mem bers who would recommend themselves to their con stituents by an " Agrarian law" for an equal dis tribution of property. This the ewner of property would naturally resist. If the levellers in the end prevailed, and an equal distribution were to take place, famine must be the immediate consequence, because fora while there would be no poverty, and without poverty there would be no hard labour, and without hard labour we could neither procure food, fuel, aor clothing. Every plan for extending the right of suffrage has been met by the objection that the proper influence of property would be thereby lost, or rather out balanced. This difficulty, however, seems to be effectually met by the new principle of representa tion recommended by Mr. BARBER BEAUMONT in his pamphlet, of which we have just seen a second edition. In this he proposes that the country should be divided into electoral circles of 60,000 souls each ; that every educated man of good character, and who supports his family without parochial as sistance, shall be entitled to a vote. That the voting shall take place in parishes; that those who shall enjoy an income of 101. a year, from property only, may, if they think fir, reserve their votes; that when those who have voted in respect to population have voted, those who remain to vote in respect to property shall be entitled to an equal number of votes. For instance, if out of 8,000 voters 7,000 voted in respect to population, and 1,000 remained to vote in respect to income from property, the 1,000 men of property should have 7,000 votes as well as the 7,000 men without it, or upon an average seven votes each. The number of votes of the property class, however, to follow the relative amounts of their income, as far as not exceeding 5,0001. a year." It is assumed," says Mr. BEAUMONT, " that self-interest is the prevailing bias among per " sons of properly, as well as among working peo " plc ; but yet that there are many, among both " high and low, who are enlightened, just, and pub " tic-spirited, and who, when called on to perform a " public duty, will do so conscientiously, although it " may not favour their particular interests. If, " therefore, the working people, and the people of " properly, have each an equal number of votes, the " self-interested of EACH will be equally poised ; " but then the votes of the enlightened, just, and " public-spirited of BOTH classes, will turn the " beans, and secure a just decision. * * * * " Upon this principle of voting, it is submit " ted that the rich could not return a candidate " against the interested of the working class, with " out the concurrence of the enlightened, just, and " public-spirited of both classes ; nor the working " class, in like manner, return one against the in " terested of the rich, without the same concur " rence ; in short, that the self-interested and nar " row-minded of the people of property, as well as "of the working people, would neutralize ea c h " other, and the election would be carried by the " votes of the wise and good of both classes." Mr. BARBER BEAUMONT is a staunch advocate for voting by ballot, but only if it accompany a scheme which provides for the safety of property. Speaking of the undue influence exercised over in feriors at elections, he says, " under the present " system, however, this influence cannot be altogether " disregarded with safety. If electors might vote, " away from the eye of their superiors, the people " without property would so out-number those who " possess it, as to endanger the security of property " by the characters they might return; and this " danger would, of course, increase with an extension "of the elective fianchise. The Government has, " therefore, always esideavoured to increase the " power and patronage of persons with property, " so as to strengthen their influence over persons " without property, whose numerical force,in voting, " might otherwise be dangerous. But the means " have been covert, oblique, and ungenial. We " now find, to our cost, that they have NOT worked " well. The object of the present plan of Reform " is to get rid of all sinister privileges and influence, " and openly and fairly to secure to property its ," full weight in choosing representatives ; and, this " being done, to allow men to vote conscientiously." Mr. BEAUMONT then gives a detail of the mode of conducting elections on his principle. He com bats the arguments that may be raised against it, maintains that it is practicable and easy of execu tion, that it provides the best security for property, at the same time that it " would leave the public " without any change to desire, seeing that the " elective franchise would be extended to the whole " of the respectable part of the working class " equally with persons of property; and, lastly, " would leave the anarchical, dishonest, dissolute, " and desperate, without a pretext whereon to " excite the public mind, and disturb the peace of " society." The principle thus elicited, we believe, is entirely novel, but it is not the less entitled to attention on that account, particularly as all former plans have been unsatisfactory. The plan is the production of a gentleman of much experience, unconnected, we believe, with party politics, and it is at the present time a very acceptable addition to this class of poli tical information.

The plaintiff in this case was hired by the defendant for a stipulated term as porter; before, however, that time expired, he was discharged on the alleged ground of negligence, and he therefore brought the present action to recover compensation. On behalf of the defendant, it was stated that the plaintiff had lost a sovereign and some sugar that had been intrusted to him for delivery. It was not however attempted Id be insintiated but, that the loss was purely accidental. The Jury therefore under his Lordship's direction, returned a verdict for the plaintiff: Damages 51. ss.

When the bill for which was sent in, the defenda n t objected to the charge, and it was mutually agreed between them to refer it to two stirVeyorsi one to be appointed by each party. This was done, and the surveyors awarded the sum of 92/. 10s. as a fair sum to which the plaintiff was entitled. The defendant, however, was not satisfied, and employed two other surveyors, who estimated the work at 80/. This sum was tendered to the plaintiff, but he refused to accept it in discharge of his debt, and brought the present action for the amount of 12/. 10s., the diffe rence between the first and second valuation. A great deal of evidence on both sides %Vas adduced. After which the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff of 12t. 10s.. Sir J. SCA RLETT stated that the defend tut had brought an ac. tion against his client for 34.105. tbr shoes. A set-off was pleaded, and he therefore hoped that his Lordship would, after the ver dict, stop fur. her proceedings in that action. Lord TENTERDEN—You have pleaded a set-off; which no doubt will avail you on the trial. I shall not interfere. HEILBRONN V. COOPER. Sir JAMES SCARLETT (Mr. HUTCHINSON with him) stated that this was an action brought to recover the amount of a bill of exchange, accepted by the defendant, for 491. 19s. The Learned Counsel then said that the action was defended o❑ the ground that the acceptance was a forgery. He should, hOwever, be able to convince the Jury that it was in the handwriting of the defendant. Two female servants of the platntif' proved, that on the day the bill was dated the defendant called at their master's house, that whilst he was there one of them was sent out to buy a :Is. 6d. stamp, and that they saw him write on either that or a piece of paper lying on the table. Mr. GURNEY appeared for the defendant, and in his address to the Jury said, that he was instructed that he should be able clearly to show that the amptance on the bill was not Mr. Cooper's. . . . One witness, who described himself as a house and estate agent residing in the Tower, stated that he had frequently seen the defendant write, and lie did not believe the acceptance to be his. Sir JAMES SCA RLETT—I believe he has sent for you seve ral times since this action was brought, for the purpose of your witnessing him write his name? The witness hesitated for sore time in giving an answer, at length he said :—" No, he did not send for me ; he called upon me," Other witnesses deposed to the best of their belief that the acceptance was in the handwriting of the defendant. Another witness deposed, to the best of his belief, that the acceptance was not in the defendant's hand-writing ; he had known him for many years. Sir JAMES SCA ItLETT—Pray, Sir, what reason have you to think the acceptance is not the defendant's ? Witness— Because the word accepted is in the same hand-writing, and the defendant writes so bad a hand, that he always refused to do more than to sign his name to any document. Sir JAMES SCARLETT—Then, if you had only seen the name, you would have said it had been the defendant's writing? Witness—lf I had seen it in the regular " routine" of business, I certainly should have said so. Mr. GURNEY (holding up his brief)—My Lord, 1 will not attempt to carry the case further. A verdict was then given for the plaintiff for the amount of the bill and interest. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

Only two candidates are in the field, Mr. 1). W. Harvey and Mr. M. Scales. Shortly after twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor reached the Ward in State to open the Wardmote. It is doubtful which will be the successful candidate, and the contest will be a very severe one. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. Two Lisbon mails have arrived : the first sailed on the 28th of January, and the second on the 30th. It is supposed by the latter coming two days after the first, that it brings some communication of importance, but nothing has as yet transpired. The letters from Riga and St. Petersburgh in the French Papers, by the mail this morning, state that the prohibition of wheat going out of the country is not true, and that a great deal of that article has been purchased on account of foreigners. The above letters also add that the troops are marching towards the frontiers of Poland, and the soldiers arc furnished with masks of cloth, the weather being so severe. The new Commander-in-Chief of the Polish army has ad dressed a proclamation to the troops, in which he states that the voice of the nation has raised him to be at their head, and, faithful to the duties of a true citizen, he has re-entered their ranks, and the sanctity of their cause and the courage of the intrepid citizens promise a favourable result. He says, we are all animated with the same cause, the happiness of our country; and the army and its chiefs are convinced that the fate of Poland can only be decided on the field of battle. I n the town of Biala there have been found some pieces of cannon which were buried in the time of Kosciusko. A New York Paper to the sth January has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. BUENOS AYRES.—An autograph letter from King William the Fourth was delivered to the Governor of Buenos Ayres by the British Charge d'Affaires, Woodbine Parish, Esq., announcing the death of his Majesty's predecessor, and communicating the desire of the present King to maintain friendly relations with the United Provinces of the River Plate. THE FUNDS. In our City article of yesterday we stated that Talleyrand had made an official communication to our Government, that the French Government would not accept the throne of Belgium for the Duke of Nemours, also of private letters from Paris an nouncing the same ; this information is now corroborated, and the public arc anxiously waiting to know what effect this refusal will have in Belgium. Consols, which left off yesterday at 80% for the Account, opened at 80% %, and at present they are 80% 4 4 with a steady market. The speculators are now looking towards the Budget, which is to make its appearance on Friday next, therefore the operations in the Funds will be rather confined until that period.

As much in terest was attached to, the result of the sale of Saltpetre, owing to the present state of affairs on the Continent, the sale-room at the East India House was very much crowded by the trade. There were announced for sale 700 tons of Saltpetre of various refractions, and the whole sold very briskly at from 365. 6d. to 38s. 6d. per cwt., which is higher than the prices lately obtained— though considerably under those obtained at the last declaration, which was from 12s. to 43.. 6d. per cwt. —The quantity of Black Pepper put up was 11,452 bags, unsifted, which went off with activity, at from lid. to 31d. per lb. in bond.
