appointed, there could be no necessity whatever 'for so doing. Pre aggicit with several Hon. Members that re spectable attortieia: In some counties were anxious to MI• dertake the office Of Deputy, and free the High Sheriff from all charge. In the county be was connec ted with (Lancashire), it was well known that, on a gent'eman being appointed to the hanoniable and ancient office of Sheriff, there were always numbers of most resfrepe ectahii le m solicitors eager to become tbe Sheriff's DOutyr from all expense whatever, and in ordinary times the gain to the Under Sheriff was generally about 1,0001. H e entirely agreed with the Hon. Member for Oldham, that if the expense was to be paid by the counties,•instead of it. casting 6 or 700/., the charge in time upon the counties would he as many thousands. Mr. STRICKLAND said that, though he niig,ht not exactly approve of the Bill itself, as it was now framed, he thought that the Hon. Member who had introduced the Bill deserved great credit for having brought before the House a subject of much abuse. Mr. F. PALMER said he had not brought in the Bill upon his own responsibility, but at the recomtnendation of a Commit Pee previously appointed to examine into the subject. Many of the abuses now relating to the nomi nation of Sheriffs would be avoided, and on the whole he thought it would be a benefit to country gentlemen. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Wednesday next. LIGHTING AND WATCHING. Mr. HUAIE withdrew the Bill of which he had given notice on this subject, and got leave to bring in another. SEWERS BILL. Mr. HODGES brought up the report on this Bill. The report was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. Mr. SLANEY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to fa cilitate the transfers of small portions of entailed property in the neighbourhood of towns. REV. ROBERT TAYLOR. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Ashton-under- Lyne, praying the release of the Rev. Robert Taylor, im prisoned for the expression of his religious opinions. The Hon. Member observed, that the securities required from Mr. Taylor after the expiration of the term of his im prisonment were so large that it would be impossible for him to procure them ; consequently he must he confined for life ; and it was worthy of remark that this was the only country in the world where a man could be so treated. He moved that the petition be laid upon the table. Sir R. VYVYAN objected to the presentation of so im portant a petition in so thin a House, and moved that it be counted. Mr. HUNIE offered to withdraw the petition, but Sir R. V YVYAN persisted in his motion. The SPEAKER accordingly counted the House, and as only 36 111,mbers were present, an adjournment took place at a quarter past nine.

The commercial advice,' received on Monday from Cal cutta, to thelGth January, staid that the distress occasioned there by the failure of Messrs. Alaaaander and Co., a short time since, had been considerably inareased by a public notice issued by the extensive firm of Macintosh and Co., that owing to the losses they had successively sustained by the failures of Palmer and Co., and of Alexander and Co., they could no longer meet their engagements. This news had produced the greatest alarm among the commercial and other interests in Calcutta. The amount of the debts and engagements by Messrs. Macintosh and Co. are yet unknown, but they are, it is feared, nearly as extensive as those of Alexander and Co. It Wag expected that a letter of licenae would be given to the creditors of Messrs. Macina tosh and Co. for them to carry on the business for the be nefit of the estate. By the same arrival a full statement of the affairs of 'Messrs. Alexander and Co. have been received. A very numerous meeting was held a few days before the accounts left, at which it was resolved to take advantage of the protection of the Insolvent Court, for the purpose nf winding up the concerns of the bankrupts. It had also been resolved that, with the view of bringing the affairs of the bankrupts to the most advantageous close possible, it Wile expedient to allow such of the concerns of the late firm to be carried on as were profitable for the interests of the creditors. A report of the Committee appointed to investigate the accounts of the bankrupts was read, from which it appealed that the total debts due by the company was 344 lees of rupees, and that there ap peared as assets 494 lacs of rupees. The Committee, iaowever, thought that a deduction must be made in the !axpe.cted assns of 60 2-3ds per cent., which would leave only 196 lacs of rupees fur the creditors. The Committee stated the balance in hand at 12,921 rupees. The total value of the indigo factories, &c., belonging to the coma patty was great. The colliery possessed by the bankrupts was considered the safest property, yielding a profit of !seventy thousand rupees a year. With respect to the warellaal•es, and other property of this extensive firm, tire repai•t of the Committee states, " in anticipa• tion of the intercourse between England and India being thrown open at the expiration of the Company's Charter, whatever may be the re,,ult of the Company's Charter as regard s . other matters , it ma y b e considered probable that permission will be giv e n t o individuals to come out and oettle in India ; an d, no d ou b t, that persons o f enterpr i se will come out and employ their capital, and thus the pro perty may be disposed oh" The new% of the second failure excited a strong sensa tion among all cl a sses c onnected With th e tra d e to I n d :a in the city on Monday, and feats are entertained that it may involve several houses more. Tuesday Evening. The effect of the recent failures connected with seems to have been chiefly among the Bengal merchants and Cultivators of Indigo on the spot, or amongst a c!a a of persons at home who have realized property in India,, and were living on the proceeds of it, placed out ,a . t a high rate of interest with the agency houses in qmstton. To them the want will be productive of most acute dis tress, numerous families having been plunged by it atones from ease or affluence to poverty, or, it is to be feared - in many cases, absolute beggary. It is not, by . any lo means, intended to pi-s lightly over ruin so exten ve as this, when it is remarked that the failara in qaestion have ma le but a slight itnpreuion on the funds or money market here, but there being comparatively few among the active commercial nr moneyed into rests who are sufferers by them, such is necessarily the c ise. Some id ea o f t h e extent of private distress and privation produced by these failures may, however, be formed, when it is stated as a fact, ascertained subsequent to the great failure of llossrs.'Alexander and Co. of Calcutta, that a loss of annual income is sustained by two families resident in Cheltenham alone to the amount of 70,0001. The eager. nesa after a very high rate of interest, for that allowed by the Calcutta houses was seldom less than 8 per cent., is characteristic of most persons who have realized property in India, where the Government itself, for a long series of years, paid a stil higher rate than that named. But as that rate was gradually lowered in the public debts of the Presidencies, and as commercial profits were declining in a like proportion, it became certainly a species of impro. vidence, for which the parties have dearly suffered, to con tend still for the same return from private individuals for the capital invested. Toe house of Macintosh and Co., of Calcutta, made, it appears, previous to the failure, extraordinary efforts to maintain its credit, having paid away in the course of two or three weeks, during the first inn upon them, not less than 600,0001. Great exertions were further made to avert the calamity by the native merchants and indigo planters connected with the house in question. They not only mule liberal offers of assistance from their own re. sources, but besieged the Council at Calcutta with appli cations to obtain that of the Government also, but, as has been already stated, without effect, and the result being found inevitable, the stoppage finally took place. The advices from Calcutta state that news had arrived there that an attempt had been made to set fire to the arsenal, in which there were 2,000 barrels of gunpow der. The fire was discovered before any considerable da mage was done. The Governor-General bad offered a reward of 5,000 rupees for the discovery of the offenders. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

This was a criminal information against Mr. Clement, the proprietor of the Observer newspaper, for a libel upon the Duchess of Richmond. The circumstances were laid before the public on the occasion of the application for the rule in this case, and on that of judgment being passed upon the proprietors of the Court Journal and the John Bull papers for similar libels. The defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, and he was this morning brought up to receive the sentence of the Court. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the prosecution, called the attention of the Court to the nature of the lib 1. which, he said, appealed in the Observer of the 29th of January last year. It was to the effect that rumours were afloat that a lady of rank, the wife of a Cabinet Minister, had eloped with an officer, and that her noble husband was absent from the debate in the House of Lords on the same evening, which circumstance was referred to the rumoured occurrence as its cause, and the paragraph concluded with a hope, for the sake of an interesting and innocent family, that the reports were unfounded. The affidavits of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, as well as of other per sons, stated that their could be no doubt that the para graph referred to her Grace, and fully denied the circum• stances stated. They were totally false, unfounded, and the statement was libellous and m tlicious. He left the case in the hands of the Court to deal with it as they thought proper. Sir J. SCARLETT addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment. • Mr. PLATT was heard on the same side. The COURT sentenced the defendant to the payment of a fine of lOW. THY KING V. HANNAM, ESQ. Sir J. SCARLEET showed cause against a rule, for leave to file a criminal information against W. Hannam, Esq., a gentleman residing at High-hill, in Dorsetshire, for conduct towards Lambert, Esq., of Knowle, in the same county, tending to a breach of the peace. The affidavit of Mr. Lambert stated that in the beginning of January he and his wife went en a visit to Mr. Hannam, in Dorsetshire ; that on the Bth of that month be (Mr. Lambert) retired to bed at between one and two o'clock in the morning, when he found Mrs. Lambert (who had gone up stairs some time before him) in her room, but not in bed ; that he went to bed, and slept as he supposed for nearly an hour, when he awoke and found that Mrs. Lambert was not in bed nor in the room ; that he got up and stationed himself opposite the bedroom door of Mr. Hannam, which, after some time, was opened, and Mr. Hannam came forward in his shirt, when Mr. Lambert perceived Mrs. Lambert in Mr. Han nam's room, standing near the dressing-table, in her dressing-gown, the bed appearing undoubtedly to have been used,—that he immediately seized Mr. Hannam and struck him, charging him with having committed adul tery, which Mr. Hannam did not deny,—that Mr. Han nam then went down stairs, where he remained concealed until Mr. Lambert had left the house,—that as soon as Mr. Lambert came to London he, under the advice of his attorneys, brought an action for trim. con. atsainst Mr. Hannam,—that Mr. Lambert had subsequently received from Mr. Hannam a demand of satisfaction for his (Mr. Lambert) having struck hint as he had done, and that on Mr. Lambert declining to give satisfaction under the aggravated circumstances, he had had a further communi cation from Mr. Hannan), declaring that Mr. Lambert's conduct in so refusing had placed him in a situation be neath his (Mr. Hannant's) notice, and that he should take every opportunity of pultaicly stating his conduct. The rule had been granted upon this challenge from Mr. Hannam, aggravated as it was by his previous con duct towards Mr. Lambert, as stated in the affidavit ; and it now became his duty to read the affidavits with which he had been furnished, for the purpose of show ing that Mr. Lambert had, in the transaction at Mr. Hennam's house, acted under the influence of a delusion, created by his jealous suspicions. The lady to whom the crime of adultery had been imputed was known, he be lieved, to many persons now in court, and her great per sonal attractions would not be denied ; hut, whatever might be thought of her by those personally acquainted with her, he would venture to say that the imputation cast upon her lay her husband would imply, from its pecu ir attendant circumstances, a long arid seasoned prectice, on her part, of the most abandoned vice ; and if she could have been guilty of it, then, instead of her being a modest and well-educated young woman (not long married), she must be one of the most abandoned of her sex. Mr. Han nam was almost a stranger to her, and, in fact, had never been alone with her, except one morning, when he rode over to give Mr. Lambert and her the invitation, which, as Mr. Lambert was from home, she received. The Learned Counsel proceeded to read Mr. Hannam's affi davit, which stated that Mr. Hermann first met Mr. and Mrs. Lambert at a county bail, when a slight acquaintance took place. They met several times afterwards, in public, on similar occasions ; but, up to the commencement of the month of January their acquaintance was slight only. Having, however, invited Mr. and Mrs. George Loftus to his house in the beginning of that month, Mr. Hannam wished to have sonic ladies and gentlemen to meet them. In conse quence of prior engagements several whom he had asked were unable to come, and it was not until it was too late, according to etiquette, for him to send a written invitation, that he resolved to go over personally to Mr. and Mrs. Lambert and invite them, which he did. Oa the Bth of January (the day on which the circumstances in question occurred), Mr. mad Mrs. Loftus had retired to bed at about half past 12 o'clock, the gentlemen following about half an hour afterwards; and Mr. Hannam went to his library to write a letter. He afterwards went to his room. It was her custom tc read in bed at night, and he in tended to read as usual. He was delayed for some time before getting iota bed by having his bed warmed. Soon after he had got into bed he found it necessary to go down stairs, and opened his door for the purpose of doing so, but perceiving a lady's figure on the stairs, he immediately moved back into his room. The Learned Counsel de , crabeal the situation of the rooms. It appeared that the doors of the two rooms were very near together, and that a person coming up stairs must pass Mr. Hennam's door to arrive at that of Mr. Lambert. He proceeded to state, that at the instant of Mr. Hennam's retiring, Mrs. Lambert, who was the lady on the stairs, was pushed by her husband into his (Mr. Hinnam's) room. Mr. Lambert behaved with great violence, and cut Mr. Hannan) on the head with a glass utensil he had in his hand, making it bleed violently. Mr. Lamt,ert's manner anal expressions were such as to induce Mr. Hannam to think he was de ranged ; and (the visiters and servants having been alarmed) Mr. Hannam went down stairs into the house keeper's room to apply some remedy to the wound he had received. He was not charged by Mr. Lambert with adultery, nor di:l Mr. Lambert at any time after make such a charge. The Learned Counsel, after reading this affidavit, stated that he bad received a communication from Mrs. Lambert, accompanied by an affidavit made by her, which stated, that on the evening in question, Mrs. Lambert retired to her room at about half-past 12 o'clock, and her husband came up in about half an hour after wards. She was not in bed, having been engaged in re pairing some lace on her cap. She afterwards had occa sion to go down stairs, and she went down with a candle in her hand, and remained there about ten minutes. On her return she observed that her bed-room door, which she had left a-jar, was quite open, and immediately afterwards Mr. Lamhert appeared, and, placing one hand against her throat, and drawing another down her face, he exclaimed, "We are separated for ever." By the violence used an seizing her, she was forced into Mr. Hannam's room, the door of which at the moment opened, and on Mr. flimflam ap pearing and interfering, Mr. Lambert attacked him very violently. She ran into her own room, where, as she was in tear of her husband, who threatened to kill her, she concealed herself under the bed ; but afterwards, Os hearing additional voices, she rushed out and called upou Mr. Loftus to protect her. She stated further, that Mr. Lamhert did not in her hearing charge Mr. Hinnatn with adultery, but that ale collected from his demeanour, as well as , Iron, previous similar c on d uct , t h a t suc h was t h e imputation on his part, and that at th e tame she believed him to be either intoxicated or under temporary mental derangement. She stated also, that she was at the time in such a state of health as to preclude the probab lily of her commission of the mime imputed by her husband ; that she left High-hill with Mr. and Mrs. Loftus, ant remained with them until taken home by her lather, and that she had not sinceltad any communication with Mr. Hannam. In conclusion, the sill lavit stated that Mr. Lambert hod fair some time befor e sh owe d so many symp toms of passion arising limns jealousy, that at une time her friends bad advised a separation. Several instances of these symptoms were detailed. It remained for him to e been t the al)p second —that en w hi c h t h e ru l e b a d He didsending o f th e c h a ll enge . e at if Mr. HannamHannamhodreally enotisiee c a o ate ion, —the charge,—that e ' been the seducer of Mrs. Lambert, his having sent a challenge to the husband would have been a most flagrant aggravetion of the injury; but lie submitted that Mr. Hannam, believing himself innocent of any such ;isgraceful conduct towards Mr. Lambert, and having been, as stated, so publicly insulted by that gentleman before his visiters and servants, he could not do otherwise than resent such conduct, mixed up as it had been with the charge of seduction and adultery. Mr. CROWDER. and Mr. GAMBIER. followe I on the , ame side, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL addressed the Court in sup. pert of the rule. Mr. RICIIARDS and Mr. FOLLETT were heard on the same side. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said there could he no doubt that in all ordinary cases a party of Mr. Lambert's station was entitled to a rule for a crimimal information in cases of provocation to a breach of the peace, and the only ques tion here was, whether there were any circumstances in this case which took it out of the ordinary rule. The Court, after fully considering the circumstances and the letters of Mr. Hannam, was of opinion that the rule ought to be made absolute, without, however, expressing any opinion as to whether or not the crime imputed to Mr. Hannam had been committed. Their Lordships wished it to be understood that the rule was made absolute solely with regard to the preservation of the public peace.—Rule absolute. EX PARTE SFALDING, ESQ. The Sor.tcr•rort- GENERAL applied to discharge the rule which he had obtained for leave to file 3 criminal informa tion against the printer of the Northampton Herald, for a libel on Mr. Spalding, the son-in•law of the Lord Chancellor, charging him with having used disrespectful language towards her Majesty the queen. The applica tion was granted, and the Learned Counsel then moved for a rule Nisi for leave to file a criminal information against the same party, on different affidavits from those on which the former rule had been obtained. He explained that the reason of this proceeding was this :—The libel imputed to Mr. Spalding the use, at a public dinner at Northampton, of some disrespectful expressions towards her Majt•sty. Mr. Spalding had at first considered that his own affidavit denying the fact would he sufficient ; but it had been ascertained that the defendant intended to bring forward three affidavits, to prove that the expressions had been used ; and it became necessary, therefore, for Mr. Spald ing to substantiate his own statement. He had accordingly procured the affidavits of Lord Dillon, Lord Clanbrassil, Mr. Osbaldeston, Mr. Mostyn, Mr. Brown, and others, to the effect that he had never made use of the language imputed to him ; and it was upon these fresh affidavits that he now wished to have another rule for a criminal in formation. The COURT refused the applicatbm, observing, that it would be a dangerous precedent - .
