N om i na tions received by Messrs. Weatherby, London ; Mr. B. Johnson, St. Mary's, York ; and Mr. E. W. Topham, Chester. Mr. Jackson Mr. W. Lynn Mr. J. Merry Mr. W. Owen Mr. Payne Mr. W. 12 , 1nh Mr. R. Riddell Mr. R. Riddell Mr. Saxon Mr. ,T. Scott Mr. F. Swiniell Well, then, I come to your manufacturers. They said, If you let in the produce of foreign industry nobody will buy ours, and we shall be reduced to begg try.' Why, every reduction which has been made in those Customs duties which are levied upon the importation of foreign commodi ties and the produce of foreign industry has necessarily led to a larger exportation of the British industry. (Cheers.) No foreign nation will send us their goods for nothing; they expect to be paid for them. The trade between nations is a trade of barter ; of exchange of commodity for commo dity, and, therefore, every amount or importation of foreign commodities into this country must, by coeeequence, carry with it a corresponding export of equal value of the produce of the industry of the people of these islaas. (Cheers.) Never, therefore, was the productive manufacturing Indus- ' try of the country more thriving than it has been since that I liberal system of commerce has been intioductd , And, whereas, some years ago—l believe 10 or 15 years ago—the aggregate value of the exported commodities of the t ountry was about 60 millions, I believe that in the last year and the year before it amounted to 130 millions— a most s riking proof that the liberal spirit of commerce, so far from crush ing and extinguishing the manufactures of the country, has, in fact, doubled the demand for them in other parts of the world. (Cheers.) Well, then, there is the shipping inte rest, and we were told, when we wanted to liberalise that part of our industry, when we proposed to take off those re strictions upon the purchase of foreign vessels which had long been considered by builders of ships as the security by which alone they could expect to derive any profit—we were told that we were ruining the shipping interest, and a most distinguished member of that interest, then a member of the House of Commons, used to adjure us almost with tears in his eyes to abstain from inflicting ruin upon so merito rious a class and description of men. (Laughter and cheers.) What do we see now ? We see all your maritime ports where private enterprise and capital are constructing those mag nificent vessels that are to ride proudly over the waves, and to carry your riches to every part of the world and bring back equal returns, we see them crowded with workmen; our ears are dinned with the busy hum of industry ; we see their docks and building yards filed with vessels in dif ferent stages of construction. In fact, we find that th se nations—the Swedes, the North Americans, and the nations of the Baltic, who, it wassaid, would outdo us in shipbuild ing and deprive our shipbuilders of their market at home — we have found them coming to England to buy ships — coming to this country, where the shipbuilding industry was to be ruined and destroyed—coming here instead of building at home. And why ? Because here they find better skill, better labour and accommodation by the operations of commerce, of all the elements of shipbuilding, and they find that they could in the United Kingdom procure better and cheaper and more lasting ships than they could make in their own country, which was the object of so much alarm. (Cheers.) lam speaking now of the time when men thought that wood was the only material which would float upon water, when they believed that iron was too heavy and would go to the bottom. (Laughter.) That delusion has been dis pelled. Now we see almost all the vessels which carry the commerce of the country mainly built of iron. There are exceptions, I believe, in regard to the timber trade and some other branches of navigation, for which wooden vessels are still preferred—but the change from wood to iron nas been most advantageous to the shipbuilding interest of this coun try, and more especially that of the Clyde and Forth, be cause here you have those elements, here you have that iron corresponding with the timber that grew in the Baltic and America—here, too, you have the coal which that iron is to be worked. You have every advantage, therefore — every advantage of natural material, and you have Luso that advantage for which you are eminent above all the nations of the world—namely, the advantage of mechanical skill and persevering labour, and of accumulated capital by which that skill and labour can be brought to bear. (Cheers.) Well, then, Mr. Provost, I accept with cor diality that testimony which you have offered me in words, and which this great town of Leith affords in visible objects, to the merit and truth of those principles of free trade which of late years have formed the foundation and the aim of the legislation of the country. (Cheers.) I trust that their prosperity, which is founded on those great natural advan tages—and when I say natural advantages I include not only those physical advantages of position and of access by water which you enjoy, but also those creative powers with which nature has endowed your people—l trust that these natural advantages wit carry you still further iu that pro gress of improvement of which I have seen with such de light and satisfaction those great and remarkable specimens to-day. I can only hope that no Government which may succeed ours—for our Government I need make no promises, because we refer you to acts—l am persuaded that no Go vernment which, by the sanction and support of Parliament, can ever be placed in the seat of power will ever faii to pursue those principles of enlightened legislation by which your prosperity has hitherto been so greatly advanc, d, and by which I trust in future titees it is destined greatly to sur pass that which with delight and pride I have witnessed this day. (Cheet a.) Mr. Provost and gentlemen, I beg again to thank you most cordially for the kind address you have presented, end for this magnificent reception, and I can as sure you that I shall carry with me from the town of Leith sentiments of the deepest gratitude for the kindness which its inhabitants have shown to me on this occasion." (Loud and prolonged cheers.) The Provost then called for three cheers for Lord Palmerston, and three cheers were also given to the Provost for presiding. The company then proceeded to the rown-hall, where refreshments were served. Mr. Miller, M.P., in a few apt terms, proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Palmerston for his kindness and condescension in paying a visit to the burgh, and expressed an earnest hope that his lordship might still be long spared to guide the councils and protect the interests of the nation. He concluded by proposing the " Health of Lord Palmerston," which was drunk with every demonstration of respect and enthusiasm. Viscount PALMERSTON, in returning thanks, said ; " I assure you I feel very deeply the kind reception which I have met with in Scotland during my visit, and gratify ing as has been the kindness manifested towards me in every place, I must say it has not been greater than that I have experienced to-day. You are quite right in saying that oc casional visits of men who are engaged in active pursuits of Government to those great national seats of industry of which Leith is a prominent member must be attended with great advantage to both parties. In the first place, men, to know each other and value each other, must come into per sonal contact, because whatever may be their good qualities ' known at a distance they are not to be compared in effect with the result of personal intercourse and knowledge face to face, and with the minute details on both sides which can only be acquired by that personal intercourse. I can assure you, so far as we are concerned, that much as every man in public life must be proud of the country whose affairs he is called to manaee, that pride is infinitely increased when he goes to those great seats of industry and sees the wonderful development of intellect, enterprise, and skill, the success ful application of which itself is the result of former success. You have been pleased to say that men in public life ought not to be valued simply for the gifts which nature may have bestowed on them, but for the use to which those gifts may have been applied. Well, I say the same thing with regard to the great seats of commercial and manufacturing indus try. You have had great gifts of nature bestowed upon you, and I am proud to say you have nobly applied them; and I trust that by a continued application of those gifts you will rise to a still higher point of eminence than that is which I am glad to see you placed this day. (Ch.-ers.) I beg to thank you for your kindness, and drink your hearths in re turn." (Applause.) The noble lord then proposed " Provost Lind say," who replied. His lordship was then conducted to the railway station, and proceeded to Edinburgh. In the evening he dined with the Lord Advocate; to-morrow his lordship will attend Divine service at the English chapel, and proceed afterwards to ,he residence of Sir Gibson Craig. On Saturday his ordship leaves for London. and in ordebretomorackest A PUBLICAN OUTWITTED. —During the past week, in a village not 100 miles from Cloughaneely, a well-known manufacturer of the " mountain dew," who appeared to labour under considerable dread of the guar dians of the Board of Inland Revenue, presented himself in it but to a publican with a keg which had not paid the Govern ment duty, declaring it to be rectified potheen which w .uld carry "two in one."

THE NAVY. Letters received at Piymouth from the screw steam gun-vessel Cygnet, 5, Commander W. S. de Kan;zow, state that she left. Port Philip o n . Feb. 2, and, aft , :r a cruisejof 11,days, arrived at Havannah on the 13th, and was appointed to leave o n the 14th for another cruise. The crew were in good hralth. His Netherlands Mejesty's screw corvette Som. bind, Capt. J. N. S ( ~ gt, sailed from Spitheed yes terday for Flushing. Previous to her departure Capt. 31? gt was officially iutroduud io the military and naval authoriti‘-s of the pert and g trrison by the Chevalier van am Bergh, the Netherlands Consul at Portsmouth. An additional body of mechanics and artificers from Chatham dockyard were yesterday placed on board the iron-plated frigate Royal Oak in order that the remaining work to be effected on board may be completed by the 20th inst., when, in compliance with instructions received from the Admiralty, she is to be ready to hoist the pendant. The Itlyai has had 660 tons of coals placed on board, which has brought her down about 2ft. lower than her draught on the occasion of taking her trial trip, She has to receive ber armament, shell, powder, pro visions, and a considerable quantity of stores, which will increase her draught of water to about 20ft. aft, and 22ft. forward. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Edward Kelly, Lieut. L. M. Mallet, Lieut. Wm. Walsh, and Lieut, the Hon. A. D. S. Denison, to the Hannibal; Lieut, G. E. Price, to the Aboukir ; Lieut. P. H. W. Wayow, to the Archer ; Lieut. J, R. Twysden, Lieut H. Vaughan, Lieut. R. C. Gayer, Lieut. R. M Blomfield, and Lieut. C. S. Titton, to the Canopus THE ARMY. The hired sailing transport Elizabeth Ann Bright, Commander Starkey, sailed from Portsmouth at 10 a.m. yesterday for New Zealand, with the head quarters of the 2d Battalion 18th Regiment (Royal Irish) on board. She left Spithead with the wind at N. by W., and with every prospect of a favour able run clear of the Channel. The names of the officers and the total numbers embarked are as fol low :—Lieut.-Col. A. A. Chapman, in command : Capts. J. Inman, R. P. Bishop, G. T. King, F. Fearnley, and E. A. Noblett ; Limits- T. C. Wray, J. A. J. Briggs, T. J. Corrie, W. J. Croft, G. A. Nicholls, C. G. Minnitt, J. J. R. Russell, and W. F. Thacker; Ensigns J. B. Jackson, A. J. A. Jackson, T. Go Butts, B. G. Haines, C. G. Philips, F. G. Pringle, H. D. Bicknell, C. Dawson, and W. E. Chapman ; Adjt. R. W. E. Dawson, Quartermaster J. Stoneforth, Surgeon G. W. Peaks, AssistaSurg. Barry, Paymaster C. J. Heatley. Officers' families —Mrs. Chapman, five children, and one servant ; Mrs. Peake, two children, and one servant ; Mrs. Heatley, six children, and one servant ; Mrs. Stain forth and Mrs. Wray. The non-commissioned offi cers, men, women, and children were 34 sergeants, 11 drummers, 617 privates, 79 women, and 114 children. The Elizabeth Ann Brignt is a fine ship of 1,919 tons register, North American built ; her height between decks is—poop, 6ft. ; maindeck, 6ft. Bin.; and lower deck, 6ft. Bin. She carries seven boats, estim kted according to the transport regula tions, to carry 200 persons, two of which are fitted with Clifford's lowering apparatus. Her stock of water at starting is of limited quantity, as she is fitted with two of Dr. Normanby's patent distilling condensers, which condense 1,000 gallons of water in the 24 hours. The accommodation is good below, and to render eantilation perfect she carries two of Danks's patent blower ventilators. On deck, how ever, the arrangements are not so satisfactory, the entire deck being crowded with cabins, coaleh._aises, wo.tercasks,and other fixings,leaving no room for the large number of men, women, and children on board when turned up from the troop deck, that it may be cleared for sanitary purposes. This is, however, the only objection which can be urged against the Elizabeth Ann Bright as a hired Government troop ship yet we trust never to see such a mistake re peated. by the Transport Board in their hiring of ship, for the transport of troops to distant stations. It seems a pity that some of the thousands of sea men belonging to the Royal navy, who are now em ployed in convict and ordinary labourers' work in our dockyards (and who are fast exchanging the active habits of seamen for the well-known lazy dockyard trot), could not be put on board a few of the sailing vessels now lying idle and utterly use less in our harbours, and employed in the exchange of troops between England and the colonies. This is said in no spirit of carping at the employment of our merchant shipping on so necessary a work, but simply because at the present time there are num bers of vessels the names of which stand on the Ad miralty official navy list lying idle in our harbours, and costing no inconsiderable sum for their yearly maintenance, with some thousands of seamen losing their smartness and ability as seamen by dawdling the day through as labourers in the dockyards. Many of the younger men scarcely know how to reef a topsail. The Elizabeth Ann Bright brings home the headquarters of the 65th Regiment from New Zealand. The Hotspur, Indiaman, Capt. ll. Toynbee, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Calcutta, and landed passengers. Her military invalids were transferred to Government steamers and sent to the Royal Mi litary Hospital at Netley, with the exception of one insane soldier, who was forwarded to Cnatham. A detailed account of the military and private passen gers arrived in the ship, with the dates of sailing and ships spoken on the voyage, &c., was given in The Sun yesterday in the report of the ship's arrival off Portland. The Hotspur sailed again in the afternoon for London. Notice has been given at Chatham, from the Horse Guards, that the next examination of candi dates for direct commissions will commence at Chel sea Hospital on May 4, before Major-Gen. F. W. Hamilton, C.B , Vice-President, and the other mem bers of the Council of Military Education.

Last night it 8 et** a orotvtied iublic meeting of the inhabitants OfWeolw ch, CharlicintlndPlumstaad was held at the Townhall. William• straot, Woolwich, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the Poles in their struggle to free themselves from the despotic yoke of Russia. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. Angerstein, MX., will i t l h l e ib T r e a e l t l i y ng u , n l ite can and at the commencement of the proceedings the following letter was read from Alderman Salomons, MX. : " I am availing myself of the Easter holidays to have it few days' run out of town, when I hope to return better able to give a closer attendance at the house than reave with o n i hear e lately been enabled tl do. Although unable to be pent our Government, in combination with the other great Powers 1 f Europe, to settle on some permanent satisfactory basis the Polish question.—l am, yours, eze. l "DAVID SALOMONS." res and s t V h o e : C h : t o pe give that strength ‘V °lw ietho The CHArnmAxob.erved—The gallant Polish nation. vas now engaged in a deadly ctruozle with that despotic Power which bad crushed them down for many years, and they well deserved the sympathy of every true friend to freedom. The cruel comic' iption which hod taken place in that un happy country was with a view to kidnap fir se spirits who were considezed to b 3 dangerous to Russia, and the Poles had no other alternative but to oppose by force ot arms t the w i c kedness of their o pp ressors. He was happy to find hat the people of Scotland ware fully alive to the claims of Po land, and that Lord Palmerston ha.l expressed the most liberal sentiments on the subject. The noble lord had, during a long life, been celebrated for his exertions to promote liberal institutions on the Continent. He had proved this with regard to Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and he would be d e lighted to hold out a helping hand to Poland. It would be well, however, that Government should be allowed perfect freedom of action with re g ard to this question. If Govern ment was to follow a particular course recommended by Par liament, and that course failed to produce the desired result, then Government might blame Parliament. He therefore did not wish to see the Go vernment relievedfrom its respon sibility, and he sincerely h o p ed the affair would yet be so managed that the wrongs of Poland would be redressed. He believed that Lord Palmerston's Administration would do its utmost in favour of the Poles, although he concurred with the opinion that the Government was wise not at once to declare what mode of action it intended to adopt. Mr. An gerstein concluded an excellent address by expressing plea sure that Austria appeared willing to take a liberal view respecting the Polish question. Mr. J. R. JOLLY m oved the first resolution, " That Rus sia, by the violation of her engagements to Europe on behalf of Poland, and by her system of confiscation, exile, and massacre which has been carried out, has forfeited all right to the possasiion of that country." The speaker contended referred at some length to the past his tor y of Poland, and that Russia had clearly broken the Treaty of 1815, which ought to be enforced by the great Powers of Europe. Eng land and France had maintained by force of arms the in tegrity of the Turkish Empire, and surely Poland was en titled to support during her present struggle. The Rev. J. M'CRAE, of Plumstead, seconded the res and o • lution, which was supported by M r . W. ROBERTS, unanimously adopted. The Rev. T. TUFFIELD moved, "That the present posi tion of Poland, in its subjugation by Russia, is inconsistent with the general progress of the age, and this meeting hopes that the British Government, in concert with other European nations, will urge the liberations nd independence of Poland." He reviewed the past struggs of the P o l e s for independence, and the IL anifold injustice and cruelty to w hich the nation had been subjected for a long series of years. It was time that the free p eo p le of England spoke out upon this question ; and although he deprecated war, when it could possibly be a voided, it was necessary to urge upon Parliament and the Government that the wrongs of Poland ought to be redressed. Mr. BOOTH seconded the motion, which was supported in an eloquent and argumentative address by Mr. WHITE, and unanimously adopted. Mr. CUNNINGHAM moved, and Mr. C. TAYLOR seconded, " That the sympathy of the British nation, always mani fested in the cause of liberty and civilisation, is deeply in favour of the success of the brave Poles in their present struggle, and that a subscription be opened in aid of the present movement." The resolution was ably supported by Messrs. A. GABLEBI and T. WAREIKT, Polish exiles, who expressed a favour able opinion as to the ultima a success of the present con test, and stated that Poland had hosts of men to fight for liberty, but they required the sinews of war—the means of providing arms. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro ceedings.

A WINDFALL.—At a sale of old naval stores which took place at, Haulhowline, a few days since, a woman residing on the island purchased an old sailor's jacket for a small sum. On examining the article she found concealed in the lining two £5 Bank of England notes and a bank order for £9O. The order appears to be genuine, and as no claimant has or is likely to turn up for the money she will probably reap all the advantage of her good for tune. Considerable disappointment was occasioned by the discovery to another bidder for the article, who had kept up a spirited contest with the purchaser, and who had only been outbid by 34.—Cork Herald. THE MALT DUTIES.—On the 14th April, accord ing to present arrangements, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will receive a deputation from the central society for the reduction of the malt duties. I , is rumoured that the much-vaunted surplus of two or three millions on which the Chancellor was to operate this year has become already very considerably attenuated, and that the hopes of all ex pectant interests—even those of the insurance companies— have greatly declined.

This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Viscount Palmerston paid a visit to Leith, where great preparations were made for his reception. Across the main streets arches were erected and flags trained, and great crowds from both Edinburgh and Leith crowded the avenues by which he appronohed the town. The Provost met his Lordship shortly after 2 o'clock, and, accompanied by Mr. Miller, the member for the burgh town, showed the Premier round the docks, and explained to him the grand projected improvements in the harbour and docks situate on this portion of the estuary of the Forth. At half past 3 o'clock Lord Palmerston, preceded by the Provost, magistrates, and council of the burgh, en tered the new building called the Corn-Exchange of Leith, in which between 800 and 900 ladies and gentlemen had assembled to welcome his Lordship, and nothing could be more cordial than his recep tion. Among those present were the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Mr. Miller, M.P., Mr. Black, M.P., Sir William Dunbar, M.P., Sir D. Brewster, Pro fessor Syme, the Right Hon. W. Cowper, &e. The Provost of Leith having taken the chair, His LORDSHIP called on the Town Clerk to read the address of congratulation voted by the corpora tion, which referred to some of the more salient points of the noble lord's character and administra tion, which were received with much cheering by the assemblage. Viscount PALMERSTON, who was received with great cheering, said : " I beg to assure you that I am deeply sensible of the kindness which has led you to invite me to this distinguished meeting, and which has prompted those expressions of ap probation and kindness which are contained in the address that I have just had the honour to receive. (Cheers.) Nothing can be more gratifying to those who are engaged in the public service than receiving expressions of approval on the part of enlightened communities in this country. (Cheers,) And when you, Mr. Provost, and the municipa lity of the town, in that address point especially to those measures which in recent times have tended to encourage the development of the productive interest and the commer cial enterprise of the country I must feel that there is no community better entitled to appreciate any benefit which may heve been conferred upon the country in that direction than those which have been conferred on the people of the town of Leith, (Cheers.) I have been happy enough to re ceive flattering demonstrations of personal regard and that approval of g-neral conduct from those parts of Scotland I have visited before coming here.• I received them on the banks of the Clyde, and I should indeed have been mortified if I had not received them also on the banks of the Forth — (cheers)—and I am glad to find that if the waters of the Clyde were warm and refreshing, those of the Forth were equally worthy of the appellation. (Cheers.) It is now, gen tlemen, many long years since I visited the town of Leith. The great features of nature remain as they were ; your noble estuary is, as then, open to receive every friendly visitor, and open also for the departure of your vessels to every quarter of the globe. That gallant island Inchkeith still rises gloriously from the waters of the Forth. Your beautiful prospects are still bounded by those picturesque hills of Fifeshire which are the admiration of you all. Your links are nor perhqos so crowded with golf-players as they used to be—(cheers) —because that game, I am told, has somewhat migrated towards the no: h. Your sand, lam told, are not so much trodden by the heels of racing coursers as they used to be—(cheere)—but there they still are for pleasure, for recri ation, and your noble waters afford equal advantage for health in bathing. (Cheers and laughter.) There is one lamentable exception. There is that unhappy water of Leith. (Laughter.) Would for its sake it were the waters of Lathe—(renewed laughter)--- that it might forget its former glories and the happiness of its former days; but there it is, like the List rose of summer (laughter)—left mourning alone ; all its lovely companions— namely, the old trading smacks—now faded and gone. (Much laughter and cheering.) In the days of which I speak its muddy bottom was covered at low water with a great accu mulation of very small and indifferent st ooden ships. They are gone ; peace go with them 1 But, though the great features of nature are unchanged, I should hardly know the Leith of former years. Whatever way I turn there are traces and results of enlightened intelligence, of ample and well guided expenditure of capital, of successful and skilful per severance, and your town, which at that time could not rank high among those communities which were placed by na ture on the banks of admirable estuarrts. ies, now dese l rve to be classed in the first rank o f British po (Cheers.) have traver sed to-day with the greatest delight those splendid docks which of late years have been the creation of your genius and your industry ; and it is a proud satisfaction to the people of Leith to know that they have built the finest docks for the reception of vessels and for their repair which exists in any part. at least of this eastern coast, of the king dom. (Cheers.) You have a dock 400 feet long, within 20 reet big enough to receive even the War rior and the Bla ck f- rinc e but large enough to repair all the ot her shi p s of her Ma jes t y 's navy, if they should require, in con se q uence of an y disaste r either of tempest or of action, to com e to y our friendly port for refitting or repair. Well, this is a noble w or k— one which should content ordinary man; but I have had s h own I trust you will b e a bl e to we a plan which you contemplate carr y in g into execution on a much larger scale, which will afford basins and d oc k s almost unrivalled, except perhaps by the great t owns o f Liverpo 1 and London. (Cheers.) to accomplish this, and to your honour be it said th a t a ll hsnourable to you, an d you have, and I believe I may ass ert also all you are g oin g to do, has been done by the expen diture of your own capital and money, the product of your s uccessful enterp r i se an d industry, and therefore it is doubly more advantageous it will be i n the end than if it had been the result of donations front other parts of the empire. (Cheers.) Your worthy Provost has adverted to the course which this and pre ceding Governments have pursued in regard to the commerce of this country. W e ll, there was a time when it was bel ieved that the interest and the profit of the few were to be p referred to the interest and advantage of the many ; many mo nopolies were held t o b e sacred things, not to be touched by the profane hands ' of innovation ; when exclusive privileges and protection were considered to be the foundation o f the national prosperity and I remember a very enlighte ned foreigner talking to me upon the subject maintaining, an d I was unable to convince him of his error, that it was all v ery well for England to counsel liberality of commerce an d the abolition of restric tions and protection, these being t he ladder by which in his opinion she had risen to greatne ss and prosperity, and that we were acting a treacherous P ert to other countries by advising them before they had reached our eminence to c.ist away the mains by which alone we had reached that sum mit. Why,' I told him, you ere very much mistaken. You are taking the very wrong end of your argument These restrictions which you say are the means of our greatness have retarded its accomplishment. (Cheers.) They have been the obstacles which have prevented the earlier development of the natural energies and resources of the country ; but you now, by persisting in following our steps in error, will only be longer in arriving with us at the summit of truth.' (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, strong and successful in point of argument as those were who advo cated free trade and unrestricted exchange of commodities with other countries, long was it betoie practical men could be convinced of the truth. We were told, This is all very well in theory, but we are practical men ; you are theorists and idle dreamers ; practical men alone are those who are capable of judging of the effect of legislation upon human affairs.' Well, it has often well been said that the practi cal man:was the greatest theorist, only he was a bad theo rist; that he founded his opinions upon a theory which he had based upon narrow induction and upon a mistaken view of the foundations upon which theories ought to rest ; that those whom he called theorists founded their opinions upon a larger and more rational view of things ; that they, therefore, were right, and that he consequently was wrong. (Hear, hear.) Well, great and obstinate was the battle fought between these theorists and these practical men, commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural ; all thought that these theorists were their bitterest enemies; that their theories if carried into practice would be the ruin of all the industry of the country, and therefore they resisted them, as it were to the death. 'Well, their re sistance was vain, but their death was not the consequence of their defeat. (Laughter.) Look around in every direct tion, traverse your agricultural districts, see those fields that you were told were to be left barren and uncultivated the moment that the country was to be deluged by the importation of foreign corn. What error is often comprised in and imported by the misapplication of a word, and be cause ' deluge' is a word that conveys the idea of the sub mersion of land by water and the extinction of all life and property the application of the word ' deluge' to the importation of the staff of life created a prejudice in the minds of men, and they said, For Heaven's sake, don't bring upon us a second deluge in the shape of importation of the staff of life.' Well, look at your agricultural dis tricts. See what new life has been inspired by the compe tition which the abolition of the corn laws has produced ; how science has been brought to the aid of agriculture, how machinery, which never before was thought applicable to the cultivation of land has been largely and most beneficially introduced for the purpose ; and talk now to the owners and the renters of land and they will tell you, if they are men capable of conviction, that they see their error; that they would not have protection back again if it could be bestowed upon them; that they admit the advantages which have accrued even to them by the extension of the commercial intercourse of the country with other nations, (Cheers.) -- - LAW INTELLIGENCE. -April 2. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Under Sheriff Burchell and a jury.) GAMBART V. SCLATER. This was an action brought in the Court of Common Pl ea s under the 17th George 111. , cha p . 67, and -tho Bth George IV., chap. 113, for an infringement of the copyright of the engraving "The Ligh t of the World." The d em ages were laid at £5OO, and the defendant, who resided at Canterbury, having allowe d j ud g ment to go by ( efault, a writ of inquiry was executed to assess the amount to be awarded. Mr. Biron appeared as counsel for the plaintiff ; the dE- fendant was not represented. In opening the case to the jury the learned counsel said that the plaintiff, Mr. Ernest Gambart, was the well-known printseller in Pall-mall, and was a great promoter of art. He had published engravings of Eliza Bonheur's " Horse Fair," Frith's "Derby Day," and Holman Hunt's "Find ing the Saviour in the Temple," and "The Light of the World," by the same painter. It was in respect of the last picture that the present action was brought. Mr. Gambart had expended large sums on the works, and they had been photographed, and sold at very small sums —from ls. to 10s. —when the price charged was from two guineas to 10 guineas. Mr. Gambart had sustained a very serious loss, and could net account for the decrease in the sale of the "Light of the World," which had been one of his most successful productions, until he discovered that it had been copied and sold by such persons as the defendant in country places. The defendant was a shopkeeper in Canterbury, and boasted, when called u pon, that hen d sold a considerable number. Th e onl y remedy for Mr. mbart was to bring the present action, and unless the jury gave substantial damages the great works of art would be pirated, and publishers, unless protected, would not embark in any enterprise on the subject, and t he public would be the losers. A traveller named Lefevre proved the purchase of a pho tographed copy of " The Horse Fair" and " The Light of the World," at the defendant's shop at Canterbury for a few shillings ; and he told him ho had sold a great many of them. Mr. Gambart stated that he had given Mr. H. Hunt 200 guineas for the privilege of engraving the picture of " The Light of the World." He had paid the engraver over 300 go. as his fee, and £1.30 to the owner of the picture for allowing the engraving to be made. With other expenses, including canvassing and advertisements, he had expended has b a res beenards of £2,000 in bringing ou t the print. The print had published about three years ago, but he had been five years about it. The print was his most successful production, and he realised the first year about £lO,OOO. Ho discovered that a bout two years ago there was a g reat falling off, which w not to be expected fro m the success it had achieved ad been , an d he ascer t a i n ed that, with others o f his productions, ite had sus photographed, p h o t og raphed, and sold for a few shillings. H tained a considerable loss. His prices were from on e to eigh a guineas. The manner in which photography hhad.E a b ! e an n us d on e to copy his productio ns was a serious injury to him; (the Lord one o ccasion, when he consulted Sir R. Be Ch an cellor) on the su b j ect he preferred the photographed. copy. Mr. Under-Sheriff B archon remarked that some one mnst get the advantage. ....Ire supposed it was the public. Mr. Gambart said he was greatly injured. Photographers cou ld produce wP T.T iOS rd f e o r r - d. The l e arned Sheriff had no doubt there was c , great light in the world," but whether it was the II light 8 W orld" was another and a very different question. of th or. Graves, printseller, of Pall-mall, was called to prove the loss Mr. Gambart was likely to sustain by having his prints copied. Mr. Under -Sheriff Burchell could n a t note w see how the ques tion could be as k e d, Th e d e f en d represented, and he could not s e e 11' h w it acsansoldrr yb was noteproved against him what injury Mr. Gambart had or was likely to sustain. The question was, what damages Mr; Gambart could recover against the defendant, and not the injury likely to accrue to Mr. Gambart by ph o t ogra phing his pro duction. Mr. Graves said that unless printsellers were protected it would lead to the destruction of the trade, as one would give a large price for permission to engrave a picture. A resident at Canterbury named Ginger, who had acted as agent for the sale of the print, stated that he had ob tained subscribers to the amount of 70 guineas, and after the defendant sold copies by photography the sale fell off. He called on the defendant, and he abused him. He was now selling the copies. Mr. Under-sheriff Burchell th ou g ht the jury should know what occupation the defendant followed, as it would assist them in estimating the damages to be awarded. It was proved that he was a shopkeeper and a maker of picture-frames, The learned Under-sheriff, in placing the case before the jury, told them tlit.t the only question fur their con sideration was the amount of damages to be award ng ed for the infringement of the copy r ight, as, by a llowi judgment to go by default, defendant had admitted that the plaintiff had a right of action against him. The ques tion was, no doubt, a difficult one, and the defendant had not thought proper to appear and offer any explaa ton as to rho dares of conduct ho had work he plaintiff had stated the sum he had paid feTw.;itatisreln off i art in question, and also that the copies being consequence of the photographed copies h He n kely s m at an in co th u a ld t to f had not allowed him to be asked what loss sustain from such conduct, because_iet had not ot be fairly submitted against the defendant .

The j ur y consulted in the box and wished to retire. After a short consultation they returned into Court with an assess ment of 0100 damages.
