MORNING SUN to w:ed to modify the existing law. • Those recommenda tions were so much matter of detail, that he was convinced the House would not wish he should go at that moment minutely into the subject. He hoped, however, the proposals he had to offer would meet with the imme- ' diate approbation of the House, because, as the season for emigration ended by the end of March,theywould other w ise be useless for some time. He proposed to lay before the House the Report of the Land and Emigration Com mission before he proceeded to consider the Bill in Committee, and Honourable Gentlemen would thus have an opportunity of discussing more conveniently its different- details. He would propose new regulations respecting the space required for each passenger, and the amount of provisions and of water, which would be es- Situated according tt:i the nature of the voyage to be under taken. The same regulations would not, of course, apply to different climates, and to vopages of different lengths. He also poposed that the Act should extend not only to voyages from the United Kingdom, but also to voyages undertaken from our colonial possessions. As he had given notice of two Bills, he would take the Opportunity, while on his legs, of stating the views with which he proposed to introduce those Bills, and asking leave to submit the:u to the consideration of the House, particularly the one for the . sale of land in the Austra lian colonies.,-(llcer, hear.) He alluded to this Bill for this reason, that her Majesty's Government had a greater command over the legislation of the co • luny and the application of the land fund than over that of their North American colonies, where the whole of the land was subject to separate legislation and autho rity, and which could not be dealt with in the same manner a in the Australian colonies. With regard to their West Indian possessions it was unnecessary, and at all events improper, to legis late for them in the present circumstances, because no great amount of emigration hal set in towards them, in consequence of the climate being so different from their OW-n, and so uncongenial to European constitutions, and which rendered it the more necessary to support that class of colonists in Australia. This colony required their pc- - Culler attention, because it had attracted the greatest tide of immigration from this country. That immi gration was continually increasing, awl the land fund • had • been proportionally increasing also. The returns from the colony had also increased, and were of the most satisfactory description. He thought it would be gratifying to read to the House a statement of a few figures, with regard to the imports and exports from the Australian colonies within the last few years. The exports from New South Wales in 1835 amounted to 682;000/., and in 1840 they had increased from 682,004)1. to 1,251,000/.—(Hear, hear.) The im ports in the colony, two-thirds of which were of British manufacture, amounted in the year 1835 to 727,0001 and had increased in 1840 to 2,600,000/.—(Hear, hear.) In 1830 the exports from New South Wales in the arti cle of wool amounted to 900,000 pounds weight, and the year 1836 that article of export from that colony, and of import to this country, had risen from 900,000 pounds weight to 3,611,000 pounds weight—(Hear, hear, hear)—and in 1810 to 7,668,000 pounds weight.— (Hear, hear.) He had trespassed for some time on the patience of the House, in order to point out the great importance of those colonies, and to show that in their legislation they should proceed on sound data in a matter relating not only to the comfort of the colonies, but which was of the greatest importance, to the in terests of the mother country itself.—(Hear, hear.) The system under which land had been granted in the Australian Colonies had varied almost from year to year, and this had occasioned great disappointment to persons emigrating to the colony, who had gone out under one set of regulations, and had on their arrival there found a different-set of regulations in force. This circumstance had • not only occasioned great disappointment, but had led to disputed titles, and had occasioned great litigation; it had tended to check emigration, and prevent the influx ofcapital into the Colonies, for large as had been the increase in the number of emigrants of late years, he firmly believed that that increase would have been still greater had it .not been for the tendency of these constantly changing Schemes to check it. He would take the case of New South Wales. In the year 1827 a set of re guletions had been promulgated, relative to the grant ing of land, laying down certain conditions, a compliance with which would entitle the emigrant to a grant. These regulations had not, he believed, been promulgated from authority ; but many persons had gone out, expecting, on their arrival in the colony, to find those regulations in force. In 1828 those regulations were changed, and grants of land were made, upon a principle different to that which had been acted on in 1827. In 1831, his Noble Friend Lord. Ripon, with the assistance of another Noble Friend of his (Lord llowick), who was not then present, had much to their. own credit, and to the advantage of the colony, introduced a principle substituting the prin ciple of the sale of lands for the grant of them. That principle had at first been objected to by the inhabitants of the comity, but the result of that plan had been, that Whereas, in the year 1830, the amou n t ar i s i n g f rom th e sale of lands did . not. exceed 896/. It had successively risen in. different years to 3,1001., 8,9004, 108,000/., 114,0004 • 127,000/., 160,0001, emit, in 1840, it had risen to '339,7131,-(Hear, hear, hear.)—He thought it right to state, that in consequence of various circum stances, that-aniount had during the past year been con siderably diminished, and 1841 he did not expect that the awn realised- would much exceed 160,0004 In the veer 18:11. the principle of the sale of lands had been first introduced. In 1838 the price of land had been altered, baying been raised from ss. to 12s. an acre. In October, '1440; new method of disposing of land had been introdueeil into New South Wales. Instead of making the sales by auction, and naming a minimum price, a fixed price of 11. per acre had I) , ,:en made, and this mode of disposing of lands had been scarcely a year in existence when another Chace was made ; and in August, 1841, the Colonial-office had gone back to the system which had been abandoned in the previous year. He slid not say that those alterations had not • been made without good and valid reason, but liei;,',ul4l not :sec why any Secretary of State shoold have it id his power too - make those changes. almost with- Cut the authority - of Parliaarmit; and he thought it was not right that any Secretary; of State should possess the power of making these changes without autho rity, and without taking those means to give them riblicity, without which it was impossible to ob tain the confidence -of the public mind.—(Hear.) 'What he meant to propose was, to divest the Secretary of .`,';ate of that responsibility, and that undue power. He (Lot.: Stanley) proposed to introduce a Bill which would regaiii!e the principles and the provisions by which land was st;,:l in Australia. He had great objec tion to having the prifiziple and the system different in the various colonies.—(lfear.) He saw no reason that the principle of sale by aucikin should exist in One. colony, and a fixed price in another. He saw no reason why Port Philip should have one systtme, and Sydney mother—why Western Australia should differ in that respect from South Australia and from New Zea land. He proposed to apply the same system by Act of Parliament to all the colonies. He would state as eliortly as possible the system he proposed to lay before them, because, whether the details of his plan on this subject should be legislated upon by the House or not, they would not be supposed to refuse _ per mission to introduce a Bill upon the subject. The system he meant to introduce to their attention, was neither absolute sale by auction, nor by fixed price, but 'it was a system founded on a principle recom mended by a Committee, which investigated last year the affairs of Australia, according to which the coasts of the several colonies, being surveyed accord ing to districts, certain portions of land would be continually brought into the market,. and there should' he a fixed upset price below which no land should be scold—that the lands should be divided into three classes, viz., those reserved for the sites of towns; those which, from the peculiarity of their situation in the immediate ' neighbourhood of towns, had acquired an artificial value; .and t h e third class comprehended . country lots.. 'With regard to. the ordinary country lots they were put to auction at certain intervals, say six *mantles. His system should go to effect that there should be always a supply of land without waiting for those periodical sales. and to prevent practices Ir sala', arising from those periodical sales, had an injurious effect on the price and value of land. rroposed, therefore, that an upset price should be fixed on the' land ; that it should be subject to perio dical sales, and that the land not purchased at piriedicat sales should remain capable of ( 0 being_ purchased at the upset price, in the interval wr-'! between the sales, by any person desirous of purchasing. ?I'' The consequence of this would be, that the more ealu ''" able land would sell at the larger price, and the inferior land would sell at the minimum price ; and those persons who were content to take inferior lands, rather than wait for the periodical sales, would have the chance of taking inferior lands, and settling themselves upon it, without the delay of waiting for the periodical sales. He would not weary the House by entering into all the details of the measure. The Bill was applica ble to the whole of the Australian colonies, and it embodied, with some exceptions, the recom mendations of the Australian Committee of last year. He proposed to gike a power to the Queen in Council to fix the price of land, and he proposed to give to the Go • vernor m t the colony a discretionary power , in ce rtain districts, of raising from time to time the price fixed by the Queen in Council ; and, after the Queen in Council hid sanctioned the increased price, no authority less than that of the House of Commons would be able to diminish it. With respect to the proceeds .of the sales, he knew that there were many gentlemen who contended that they should be entirely applied to the purposes of emigration. •He was not prepared to go that length. He was quite satisfied that in many cases it would be very inconvenient if a positive rule were hid do wn t h at the Whole of the proceeds of • the land sale should be applied to the purposes of emigration. Emigration, important as it was, was not the otily purpos e to which the land funds might be legiti mittelY applied. It should be recollected that they were not dealin g with R.ll abstract, uninhabited country,and that this aborigine s had clef us For the purpos e upon their justice amid humanity. of affording thew relief part of the salts _ 4ould b . ..• applied. Th e inte rnal'im s e pro ment of the colo- Mes was another obje c t w hi ch would not v be lost sight of. ale proposed, with the consent of the Crown, to pct that one-half of the land sales should be applicable to the puipose of •emigration, an d i ts much more in each case as the authorities ma think lit, after deductions for the purpose to which he hail al/w ht He believed it would be necessary to limit the duration of the Act to the life of her present Majesty. He proposed this limitation because he tho ug h t her Ma jesty had no right beyond her own life to di spose of :those lands which formed her hereditary revenue. At ratterents, there being doubts on this question—„„d in _ deed there were more than doubts—there could be no objection to the provision which he proposed, limiting the duration of-the Act to the life of the Sovereign. With these observations, and thanking the House for the attention they bad given hith on the dry details of mia subject, he now moved for leave to bring in a to regulate the laws relating to the carriage of pasreg7inattertshet in pe oflands in mercantile vessels ; and also a Bill to j the Australian Colonies. f;ot Mr. HINDLEY asked whether this Bill would control the money derived from the sale of those lands ? . Lord STANLEY—The Bill will apply to the money that is to be realised ; but, certainly not to that which has been already spent.—(Laughter, and "Hear, hear.") with A tgreat presenti - he (Lord John Russell) did Trot terLoestrdtoJtOh think it necessary t o H e statement a tei RUSSELLent o his had Noble friend. enter into the details of the measure; but he was very happy to say that in all its general principles he per tectly concurred. With respect to the first question on which his Noble Friend addressed the House—that was, - the policy of not attempting any great systematic plan of emigration on the part of the Government, he (Lord John Russell) also fully concurred. Indeed, voluntary emigration was already conducted with vigour enough, without any interference from the Government being ne cessary. The printed returns showed that during three quarters of the last year there had not been less than 106,000 voluntary emigrants. This, statement he thought went to show that Government should not. merely hesitate, but positiiely refuse to adopt a forced system of emigration. But with respect to the mode of emigration now carried on, he (Lord John Russell) must admit that there were many abuses, in spite of the present regula tions sanctioned by that House. Frequently cases hap pened in which poor - Irish emigrants embarked with scarcely food enough for the wants .of the shortest voyage--and who, in case of any delay in port, or of a tedious passage through tempestuous weather, accident, or any other cause, had to suffer the most dreadful pri vations.—(Hear, hear.) He had found this to be too often the case while he had the honour to occupy the office now held by his Noble Friend. With respect to the other Bills he had proposed to in troduce, the Noble Lord had stated correctly the va rious modes by which the regulations had been made from time to time—first, fur granting ; and, secondly, for . sale of the land. The great alteration in this subject was the alteration made by Lord Ripon and . Lord Howick ; the principle then laid down that all was to be done by the authority of the Crown, was the principle now proposed by the Noble Lord. He. (Lord J. Russell) conceived that it was far more ad visable that any alteration in the regulation with respect to the subject in 1831, should be made by the Crown, before any measure on the subject was brongTit forward in Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) He thought, however, that the time had now arrived when, after the trial of many of those regulations, and when several changes had taken place, that some permanent system ought to be established, and receive the sanction of Parliament. With respect to the particular mode in which the Noble Lord proposed to introduce those regulations, he thought the - time for making observatioris upon them would more properly be when the Bill was introduced, and when he should have been able to have seen the various regulations. He could not see why New Zealand should be treated in the same way as New South Wales and Australia, but he would not trouble the House on that subject further. He concurred with the Noble Lord in the principles he had laid down, that all the sums laid out in the sales of land should not be devoted to the purpose of emigration. Ile believed, if he understood the Noble Lord right, that some of those funds were to be devoted for that purpose, and the others were to be the subject of further consideration. He considered that that would be the best mode of settling the question. He concurred in the mode by which the Noble Lord proposed to intro duce the Bill ; but lie was anxious to see the details of the Noble Lord's plan, and when he had done so, he should be happy to co-ope rate with him by giving his vote in favour of those Bills which he thought were needed, and which he was most happy to find it to be the in tention of the Government to introduce. Mr. WARD having so long taken an interest in this subject, felt bound to express to the Noble Lord his cordial concurrence in the prin ciples he had laid down, and gave him his best thanks for having, on th e part of her Majesty's Go vernment, proposed to introduce such a measure—a measure which, he believed, would be productive of the greatest good in those parts of the world to which it was intended to apply.—(Hear, hear.) It• was most . beneficial that the power of dispos ing of land in the colonies should be vested in the Government, and he for one thanked the Noble Lord for bringing forward a measure at such an early moment for systematizing the mode of disposing of land, and introducing regu lations so highly beneficial to the Colonies. Upon matters of detail there may be differences, but there never could be a question among per sons acquainted with the subject that part of the money paid for land, whatever that amount might be, should be devoted to the purposes mentioned by the Noble Lord, and that the mode of using those funds, as they had been fornierly used, for purely colonial purposes, should be altered. A great concession had been made on this subject, arid one highly beneficial to the country and the colonies, and be should be glad to assist the Noble Lord in the object he had in view. There was a question which seemed to belong to this subject, though, perhaps, not exactly coming under it ; yet, as it was not likely that another opportunity would offer, he should now mention it. In the Gazette of Friday last there was an Order in Council, proposing to permit, under certain regulations therein specified, the ethigra tion of Hill Coolies to the Mauritius. in 1840, Noble Friend proposed a measure of this kind, but tee House decided against it. Ile should wish to know if any further infot Illation on this subject had reached the Government, and if they were prepared to lay that information before the House ? Mr. ROEBUCK objected to the principle of the Bill of the Noble Lord, who seemed to con sider that it was the privilege of the Crown to dispose of the lands in the colonies, which he did not agree to. Emigrants go to encounter extraordinary diffi culties, and they ought to derive from the land they enter all the benefit they could derive from it. They go to meet difficulties much greater than those of other people, and let them, then, in God's name get all the benefit they can derive from 'the soil they go to' tenant.—(Hear.) He believed that a really well constituted system of colonization must commence by defining the limits of the colony; make them small in extent ; and when each colony has arrived at a certain number of inhabitants, let the government be vested in the colony itself, and then give up all overlooking on the part of the mother country.—(Hear.) He ob.;ected to the theory lately broached, that all the proceeds of the colonial lands ought to be appropriated to emigration. This, however disguised, was but an additional clause to the New Poor-law Bill. The Noble Lord, the late Secretary for the Colonies, had had ample opportunities of knowing the evils arising from these circumstances, and he had him Self proposed to the people of Canada a tax on immigration into that colony, as the best plan of discouraging the influx of a poor class of persons to the colony. He spoke with accuracy on this point, as he read the Noble Lord's de spatch, which recommended the tax which he alluded to. This was one of the circumstances which created an ill feeling between the people of this country and the Canadians, but they were obliged to do it in self defence, in order to prevent being overrun by the poor of the country. Let the Colonies have their own land to be applied to the purposes of their own Government, and not as a premium on emigration to that country.—(Hear, hear.) He was decidedly of opinion that the Colonies ought to have their government in them selves, and be limited in their territorial extent. Let the Colonies be limited by some preconceived rule in their territory and extent. Let them be confined in their li init to the extent of possession no more than equal to their means of cultivation and their wants. But at this early stage he would put in earnestly his protest against any Bill by which the proceeds of the Colonies should be made applicable to English purposes. lie defied any lawyer to prove that the land of the Colonies in any way be longed to the Crown. They belonged to the Sovereign no more than the highways of Great Britain ; they were only part of the Sovereign's dominions, r and were not the property of the Crown, but the people. If the people of England sent out colonists, they would be best provided for, and the evils which .the Noble Lord endeavoured to provide against ; would be best prevented, by enabling the colonists to pro tect themselves. Sir GEORGE GREY having been on the Committee last year, in which the condition of the colonies was con sidered, wished to express his satisfaction at the course which the Noble Lord had taken in forminghis measures upon the recommendation of that Committee. He hoped however, that the Noble Lord considered the question of the minimum which had the effect of keeping down the price of land to that level. He wished also to ask the Noble Lord whether he intended to make any alteratiOn in the law respecting the emigration of Hill Cwlies ? Mr. S. O'BRIEN said 'it was certainly a subject cif congratulation to him to find that the Government had taken up the present question ; and his only regret was that they had not introduced a more comprehensive mea sure. The proposal of the Noble Lord did not, unfortu nately, go far enough ; and for his (Mr. O'Brien's) part he felt that no measure of the kind would be completely satisfactory which did not give our surplus population an opportunity of transferring their labour to oth er parts of the empire, in which it would be adequately rewarded. He also regretted that the Bill was not to extend to the Cape of Good Hope and the colony of New Brunswick. Lord STANLEY said that he had to state in answer to the question put by the Hon. Member for Limerick, that the Governor of the Cape did not think the Cape fit for the introduction of a large number of emigrants, nor was there any land fund capable of being appliedlor, the purpose of emigration. The circumstances of the colony of the Cape, and the small portion of good land compared with the mountain districts, rendered it impossible that so effective a system of emigration could be ex tended to it as to the colony of South Australia. With regard to the Order in Council which appeared in the Gazette, it was true that her Majesty's Government were of opinion that it was expedient to-prohibit the emigration from Now South Wales to the Mauritius. Mr. FITZROY said, in regard to what had fallen from the lion. Member for Bath, he was extremely sur prised to hear from him such statements with regard to the limitation of the colonies.—(Hear, hear.) Ile thought the Hon. Member for Bath should make himself acquainted with the circumstances of the dif ferent colonies; before he objected to what had been pro posed for their benefit. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. THE STANDING ORDERS. Sir G. CLERK then moved the Standing Orders, which were agreed to. APPROPRIATION AMENDMENT ACT BILL. Sir G. CLERK hrought in this Bill, which was read a first time. On the motion of Lord ELIOT, certain returns were ordered relating to e Poor-law in Ireland. The House adjourned, at Half-past Six, to Twelve o'Clock to-morrow. PRE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5,184 k SHERIFFS FOR 1842. • (From the Gazette of last night.)

His Majesty the King of Prussia took leave yesterday morning of the Queen, at Buckingham Palace, and left, accompanied by Prince Albert, with an escort of the Life Guards, at half-past nine o'clock for Woolwich, to review the Royal Artillery. After the review his Ma jesty embarked- in the Firebrand steam-packet for the Continent, accompanied by the Baron de Humboldt and all his suite. The dejeuner which it was expected the King would have partaken of with the officers of the gar rison, was countermanded, and the King lunched on board. The Queen and Prince Albert are expected to leave town to-day for Windsor Castle. MONEY MARKET - and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—There was to-day an improvement of h per cent. in the value of the English securities. Money was worth 3 to 4 per cent., but there was very little doing either in Stock transactions or in Loans, the general suspension of business being caused, to a great extent, by the points mooted as to what would, in AI probability, be the leading features of the Queen's Speech in Parliament on the opening of the Session, although, on this subject, the anticipations of the moneyed interest seem to have been very fully borne out by the result. The principal bearings of. the Speech are more than ordinarily economical, or commercial, and they certainly convey the as surance that mea'ures calculated to mitigate the pressure which is just now found to rest so heavily upon the mercantile energies of the community will be brought forward, yet not without a due regard to the deranged condition of the national financies as bequeathed to the present Government by the an tecedent one. CHRONICLE.-The Royal Speech possesses one merit, however, which we willingly award it. It is an assurance to the friends of free trade that their opinions are triumphant. No sophistry, can destroy that fact, and we rejoice at the tri bute of praise which the principles of free international inter course have thus extorted from their foes. There can be no more attempts to dispute the great extent of misfortune and decay which pervade all classes of our manufacturing popula tion—no more references to savings' bank figures and statistics to prove that the country was really prosperous if the people only would believe it. Truth has come out at last. The ex tent and danger of the national malady are at length avowed. It is earnestly desired that the revision of the tariff on im ports may be vigorously proceeded with, and that the Macgregor scale of consolidation will be adopted. All depends on the extent to which the change in the Corn and Provision-laws is carried out by Parliament. Nothing short of a moderate fixed duty can afford safety to the Bank of England against sudden de mands on her specie ',Auks, and until that object be attained the manufacturing interests must be exposed to sudden con vulsions and panics in the Money Market, accompanied with violent contractions in the currency, which depress prices and produce general insolvency and national distress. It is impossible to obtain a steady supply of foreign corn under any fluctuating scale of duty. While the duty fluctuates no foreign merchant can send corn for sale to this country in exchange for British goods; because, although he can ascertain what the cost of the goods will be, he cannot know how much corn will be taken for it. Any calculations which he can make are subjected to the influence of a varying duty, which renders all his attempts to bring the transaction to a certain result impossible. TIMES.—The Speech from the Throne has had no very material effect on the public securities, but the effect, such as it was, was rather favourable than otherwise. The recommen dation that the laws relaiing to imports should be reconsidered is thought to augur well for the commercial intere:ts of the country, now that the Government is in the hands of those in whom a general confidence is felt. It is evident, likewise, that a permanent revenue is contemplated for equalizing the income of the country with the expenditure, and as that is opposed to the notion of any fresh creation of stock, it naturally tends to produce a firmness in the public securities, especially as there is no corroboration of the report concerning an income tax in the Speech. Under these circumstances, the Consul market has remained steady throughout the day, being moreover sustained by the arrival of better prices from Pari s , a n d a f ew p urc h ases i n t h e early part of business.

VEITCH U. RUSSELL. In this action, which has been before the Court for three days, the plaintiff is a medical gentleman, residing at Rich mond, and the defendant, a lady, at whose request the plaintiff attended for a considerable period of the ye ,rs 1839 and 1840 on her brother. The parties had been on friendly terms, and defend ant having requested Dr. Veitch to send his bill, hesent one ac cordingly, amounting to 150 guineas, to which Mr.. Russell objected as being too high, and offered 701. It appeared from some letters of Mrs. Russell that she conceived some reduction was due for her kindness to the plaintiff's daughter, who had been boarding in her neighbourhood at Bayswater, and for hospitality afforded to the plaintiff himself. It was proved for the plaintiff that the expenses of cab hire in visiting Mrs. Russel's brother cost him 501. and it was stated that he was at other expenses of the same description to a large amount, but which he was not in a position to prove. The Attot ney General and Mr. Peacock appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs, Thesiger, Warren, and 13ovill for the defendants. Ills LORDSHIP, in his charge to the Jury, left it to them to say whether, from the evidence in the case, they were of opinion that there was any implied contract to pay, beyond the fact of mere attendance, which fact would not of itself constitnte any legal right on the part of the plaintiff. Such a state of things may hale arisen with the Greek and Roman orators, or it may have originated in the middle ages with the monks, who professed physic, and who were dead in law; or as appeared more probable to him, it originated from the extreme difficulty of estimating services merely intellectual ; and if they were of opinion that such implied contract did exist, to what amount ? The Jury returned, after an absence of about twenty mi nutes, with a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 4. REVENUE CASES.-THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL V. SHEPHARD. This was an information filed by her 11 , 1.,jesty's Attorney- General against the defendant for having, in the month of Alarch last, malted various quantities of barley, without having served the usual notice with the Excise. The defend•nt was an inhabitant of Mendlesham, who had for some time carried on conjointly the business of a farmer and maltster. At the commencement of March last, he withdrew his notice, because, as he had stated, a sufficient quantity of barley had not been sent to him to induce him to continue to carry on the business. On the 31st of the same month, the Ex cise officers of the district, in consequence of certain informa tion they had received, proceeded to the premises of the de fendant, where they found a large quantity of barley in progress of fermentation. A farmer from the neighbourhood stated in evidence that he had a short time previously sent some barley to the defendant to be malted, which defendant had received. It was attempted to be shown that the barley had been wet by the servant of the defendant without his permission. This allegation did not appear to have been supported by evidence. The Jury instantly returned a verdict for the Crown upon two counts, with a penalty of 200/. on each. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TILLSLEY. This was an information filed against the defendant, who was a brick .maker in Staffordshire, charging him with having in the month of September last manufactured aqu intity of bricks upon which the duty had net been paid. It appeared from the statement of Counsel and the evidence adduced, that after bricks are moulded, they are raised into hacks or heaps, when they are counted by the Excise officers, and when the amountof duty on them is then ascertained. '1 he makers are in no case at liberty to take them to the kiln to be dried 'until this has been done. In the month of September last the Excie-officers thought they had reason to suspect that the quantity of bricks in the kilns of the defendant was greater than that for which the duty had previously been paid. They proceeded to the spot, and mentioned their suspicions to him, when he told them that there were then in the kilns, besides the fresh bricks, 3,000 more, which had before been burnt, but which had been found too so't. The officers on drawing the kilns found that the entire number of bricks in them at the time amounted to 54,681, while the number of unburnt bricks on the premises of the defendant upon which the duty had been paid, amounted only to 42,815, leaving a surplus of 11,866. The officers of the Excise proved the case for the Crown. They admitted that it was not unusual to dry a second time in the kilns bricks which had already been burnt, and on which the duty had been paid. Last season was very wet, and as the bricks were consequently softer than they generally are, a greater number of them required to be re-burnt. They were told by the foreman of the defendant that h:s brieks that sea son should be unusually hard, as they were to ba used by a Canal Company. Shaw Whalley, foreman to the defendant, deposed that to his knowledge no bricks on which the duty had not been paid had been placed in the kiln at the period in q u e s ti on; b ut a great number had been put in to be re-burnt. The Jury, after deliberating for some time in their box, re turned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 4. ( Sittings at Nisi Prins. ) BURROUGHS AND ♦NOTHER V. LEWIS. The plaintiffs were coal-merchants, and brought this avtion for goods delivered. The defendant, a medical man, proved that he received the coals as from a coal-merchant named Pennider, who had formerly a connexion with the plaintiffs, and was in debted to the defendant. The latter had in several instance refused to take in the coals from the servants of Burroughs until he received a written assurance from Pennider that they came from him and were to be set-off against his account. It seemed, however, that the plaintiffs throughout looked to de fendant for payment. His Lordship (Mr. Justice COLTNIAN) summed up, and The Jury found for the defendant. (Sittings in Banco. ) STUART V. STEELE. _ The Court also sat in Banco—the — Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Erskine, and Mr. Justice Cresswell—in the Vice-Chan cery Court. They were occupied the whole day in hearing Mr. Richards move for a new trial in the case of Stuart v. Steele, on a policy of insurance, the trial of which occupied three days, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, with points reserved.' The present argument will also occupy some days, and the material points will be best understood from the report of their Lordships' judgment. I,VSOLT'EN7' DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 4. IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS ATKINSON. The; insolvent in this case was a member of the Society of Friends, and in conjunction with a person named Kennet, the proprietor of extensive salt mines in Cornwall. His discharge was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Williams, who claimed as a creditor for 585/. 12s. 9d. Also for Mr. Bennett of Manchester. After a short hearing The COURT ordered the case to stand over to next Thurs day, and in the mean time the insolvent was to file certain books in detailing the partnership accounts. IN RE HENRY LOUIS DELPLANQUE. The insolvent described himself as a dancing master, and had been in the habit of teaching at various schools and private families in the neighbourhood of Kensington, Hammersmith, and other suburban districts. In the insolvent's examination, he stated that a short time before last Easter, he applied to this Court to be discharged, but the arrest b: ing a friendly one, the detaining creditor dis charged him. His reason for beimg arrested was to endeavour to induce his creditors to compound their claims. His debt with the opposing creditor, Mr. Richardson, of the Bell and Anchor, Hammersmith, was for board and lodging and for the keep of a horse and gig, which, upon being unable to meet Mr. Richardson's demands, he took away and sold to a friend. He was in custody at present, at the suit of an attorney named Cross. Mr. Commissioner BowEN remanded the case until the de taining creditor was present to give evidence, and in the mean time let the insolvent produce any book of pupils he may have kept. Wednesday the 12th of January, from Paddin g t on to t h e Gar rick's Head Tavern, in Bow-street; he was secompaii i e d b y two men and a female. The prisoner paid the fare, and alio for some refreshments which the party had. He seemed at that time to have plenty of money, perhaps 61. or 71 Policeman 77 apprehended the prisoner i n a brothel in Steven-street, Lisson-grove, on Friday, the 14th of January. He was then in the company of two females. Witness took one of the girls to the station-house, and upon his doing so the prisoner exclaimed " Strike me blind if that girl knows any thing about it." This witness produced a spoon and fork he had obtained from Mrs. Wilkinson. Allen identified the crest as the same he had seen on the sugar tongs in the prisoner's possession. None of the plate had been found. This dosed the ease for the prosecution. Mr. DOANE addressed the Jury for the prisoner. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS sentenced him to 18 months' impri sonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. NE W C 0 UR T. PASSING COUNTERFEIT COlN. —Elizabeth Scott, aged 33, who appeared at the bar with an infant in her arms, was charged with unlawfully uttering, on the 17th of January, a counterfeit half-crown. Messrs. Bodkin a• d Ellis conducted the prosecution on the part of the Mint; the prisoner was undefended. Miss Townsend, straw-bonnet maker, of Duke -street, Lin coln's Inn-fields, deposed that on the 17th of last month the prisoner went to her shop and purchased a bonnet shape, price Eql. for which she tendered a bad half-crown in payment. Witness immediately wont out and brought a policeman back with her, who took the prisoner into custody. James Wall, police-constable 63 F. corroborated the evidence of the last witness, and further stated that he searched the prisoner, and found on her two other half-crowns, one of which was bad and the other good, and a good shilling. Witness produced the two half-crowns. Mr. Powell, solicitor to the Mint, was then sworn. He stated that both half-crowns were bad, and had been cast from the same mould. The prisoner, when called upon for her defence, strenuously asserted her innocence. She said that she was the worse for liquor, and did not know that the half-crown was bad. She could not produce any witnesses to character. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL haviog briefly summed up, the Jury found the prisoner guilty. lhe Cou RT sentenced her to nine months' imprisonment in the House of Correction and hard labour. Several other trifling Mint cases were disposed of in the eourse of the morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL. Two burglars, named Cox and S ear l e , were b roug h t up, charged with breaking into the premises of Mr. Jones, landlord of the Waggon and Horses, opposite the Fish mongers' Alms-houses, Newington Butts, between one and four o'clock yesterday morning, and carrying off considerable property. Policeman 141 L, stated that he was on duty near the spot that morning, and on passing the house about four o'clock, thought he heard voices in the bar of the house, and supposing that some thieves had entered the pre mises, he im nediately rang the bell to alarm the land lord, and , left another policeman, L 117, at the front, while he went to the back of the premises to examine them; and on going round the_house he met the prisoner Cox, who was pursued by 1 - 11 L, and on taking him into custody found all the property on him, except two silver spoons, which he found in the back premises, besides a dark lantern, which was found in the prisoner's coat pocket. The prosecutor identified the property as his, and Mr. TRAIL said ho should commit COx for trial, and remand Searle until Monday week, as there is another charge against him of a similar description. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday the re-examination of George Turner, a broker's man, Philitia Turner, his wife, and John Mott, a Sheriff's officer, was proceeded with before Mr. Bing ham, charged with stealing a quantity of lace, children's dresses, and other articles, that were under an execu tion of the Sheriff's writ. The prisoners made no defence ; but bail was applied for by two professional gentleman on the part of Mutt and the wife of Turner, when. the Magistrate refused to allow bail on the part of Mott, and required two suretius of 100/. each for the appearance of the female prisoner, at the next Central Criminal Court. he prisoners were fully committed. --- DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. A number of workmen are still employed in digging out the ruins of the houses, and it is still feared there may be one or more persons buried in the rubbish. We are glad to state that the number of persons killed is not so great as was stat.•d yesterday. As far as has been ascertained yet, only Miller and a boy of the name of Smith are dead. By a typographical error in the heading to this fatal occurrence, which appeared in The Sun yesterday ten was substituted for two. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. Last night, at eight o'clock, Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the King's Arms, Coal-yard, Drury-lane, on the bodies of Thomas Miller, aged 53, and John Smith, aged 13, the two persons who unfortunately perished by the fall of two house in Charles-street, Drury-lane, on Thursday evening last. The case excited considerable interest, and the Jury-room was much crowded. The chief particulars have already appeared in The Sun, and the evidence of William Allen and other witnesses adduced tended to -how that the deceased Miller and several other per sons were engaged, about half-past nine o'clock on the morning in question, procuring some of the wood-work from 14 and lb in Cha.le-street, which had been condemned by the Court Leet. Miller was tearing away some of the lining of a story-post, with a crow-bar, when the bressame, which was resting on it, gave way, and both houses, at the same time, fell with a tremendous crash. Miller fell headforemost into the cellar, and the ruins fell on him, the bressame striking him on the back of the neck. A great many others were picking wood at the time. The boy Smith must have been amongst the number, as his body was afterwards taken out of the ruins, and with that of Miller were found to be quite dead. It was further stated many poor persons had been getting wood from these houses during the last four or five days, and the houses are said to have no owner. Several of the Jurors were desirous of having a person of the name of Fogerty called, it having been mentioned that the fall of the houses was caused by something which he had done to the story post, but the Coroner objected ; and the Jury, after expressing a wish that some precaution should be taken, returned a verdict of Accidental Death.
