Although the balance upon this account appears to be as above stated, yet there is in the Three per Cent. Consols 100,000/. stock invested on account of army prize money, the interest whereof is in eluded annually in the Parliamentary estimates, and is applicable to the payment of prize claims; and when the amotrit theieof, in addition to other sums received on the same account during the year, ex ceeds the claims paid, the balance is taken by the Pay master-General as an appropriati on i n his accounts. The difference between the above balance--viz., 4,129/. 4s. 4p. and the 100.000/. stock in the Three per Cent. Consols, arises from the investments in that stock hav ing been made when the funds were very low, and from the sales thereout, as occasion required, having b een • from time to time effected when the prices were con siderably higher. The return is dated Royal Hos pital, Chelsea, July, 1845, and is signed, " Richard Neave, Secretary." We cannot fully accord our credence to the reports afloat concerning the origin and nature of Mrs. Gore's new isovel of " The Royal Favourite." Though a writer as fear 103s as she is popular, sovereigns are not to be treated with im p unity, with the freedom said to have been used in the present I Dams. MAGAZINES.-(CONTINUED.) THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. Many very good and very practical papers, on harvesting, grain crops, chemistry for farmers, the Royal Agricultural Society of England, &c. &c., are preceded by two highly finished engravings ; the one of a Guernsey Ox of the Pure Breed ; the other of Mr. Gratwick's " Merry Monarch"—the " outside," but powerful winner of the last Derby. This Magazine is a most redundant two shillingsworth of invaluable in formation for the farmer, the grazier, and the gardener. THE SUN, LON DON, TIIURS oA I EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1845. began earnestly to wish that this might win, and that might lose. I examined both with the microscope, and thereby easily distinguished the source of these passions. As the men were extremely heated with their exercise they perspired strongly, so that clouds of the matter flowing from them reached us: my glass showed me dis tinctly, that the matter perspired by him for whom I felt an inclination, wai exactly similar to what was perspired by myself, whereas the matter flowing from the other person was absolutely unlike to mine in all respects, and so jagged and bearded, that it seemed to wound and pierce me like so many arrows ; hence I discerned that the true cause of our sudden inclinations and aversions consists in the figures of the matter perspiring from us and from others, and in the similarity or contrariety of these in sensible vapours. We went out of the city, and at some miles distance, we saw some gentlemen diverting them selves in coursing a hare. As the poor creature passed almost close by us, I bad just time to catch a glance of her with my glass ; she appeared to me like a ball of fire moving with prodigious rapidity, and leaving a mighty smoke behind her. This was the matter per spired by the animal, and I saw that the dogs followed exactly the track of that smoke and were never at all at a loss except when the wind dissipated the cloud that issued from the flying hare."—Melanges d'Histoire et de Literature, torn. ii. p. 461.

When Canton was ransomed, and the money for that purpose drawn from the provincial treasury, a report was made to the Emperor that it was a debt - due to the foreigners by the Hong merchants, who were unable to pay it, and these latter were inductd to sign a document to that effect, on the assurance being given them that it should not be used against them. However, after the affair was terminated, various attempts were made to extort the amount from them, but without success. Headed by Elowqua's eldest son, who has taken a literary degree, and who threatened to lay the matter before the Emperor, they refused to pay wore than 2,000,000 dollars, which they admitted to be due by the merchants to the Emperor. The local authorities have at last agreed to accept this amount ; and thus has ter minated an affair which has been a source of great un easiness to the Hone merchants, and was considered suf ficiently important to the foreign trade to induce Mr. Cushing, the American Plenipotentiary, to address Key ing on the subject. The following is the amount paid by each Hong merchant _ . _ - lIONG DIERCHANTS. PAY. Howqua 550,000 taels. Poookeequa Samqua Gowqua Kingqua Poonboyqua Mowqua 50,000 do.

In reference to the recent communications respecting the receiving ships at Whampoa, Mr. Macgregor has written to the Chinese authorities, that unless the ex tensive smuggling in Portuguese lorchas and other river craft be put a stop to, he will not feel it his duty to in terfere with English vessels, should they again enter the port for the sale of opium. This very sensible view of the subject is producing its effects. Two Portuguese have been seized and carried into the city. NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. The contents of the present number are of a more varied character than usual, and the Yachtsman, the Turfite, the Angler, and the Grouse-shooter, will meet here with papers on their favourite pursuits, well worthy of their attention, from the hands of men fully qualified to treat of them. Among those most deserving of commendation are Cotherstone's and Cecil's on Training the Racehorse and the Game laws. The illustrations are creditable to engraver and painter, and, on the whole, the number is the best we have seen for some time. LAW REVIEW. No. IV. This Quarterly Journal will always command a circle of readers without, as well as within, the bar. It is conducted under the auspices of parties who bring to their task very extensive general informa tion, as well as the soundest legal learning and judgment. The two be.st papers this quarter are those on " Heriots," and on "Lord Eldon," as a Law Reformer. But the letter of Lord Camden and Lord Northington, the Memoir of Lord President Blair, and the " Practical Suggestions to Promoters of Railways," are all excellent in their way. THE BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW. Of this review it is satisfactory to us to report a steady and progressive improvement. Of the ten papers in the present number most may safely challenge com parison with their more veteran contemporaries in the blue and buff and the olive green liveries. The Currency Question ; Tennyson's Poems, and School of Poetry ; Ecclesiastical History—(a paper occasioned by the ap pearance of the late Dr. Wild's "Elements of Church History," Vol. I.) ; Russian Government and Society— (a careful review of " Revelations of Russia") ; The Real Union of England and Ireland ; French Philoso phy (Jouffroy's " Nouveaux Mélanges Philosophiques") ; Popular Education (Dr. Hamilton's Prize Essay).; D'lsraeli's " Sybil ;" The Bampton Lectures ; and Brougham's '• Lives of Men of Letters," &c.—all these offer an abundant field for extract. But our limits being very contracted, we can notice only, for the purpose of quotation, the paper on Mr. Cargill's Currency Question, and on Mr. Taylor's admirable "Essay on Money" and "Catechism of the Currency." We would entreat our readers to be induced, by the Reviewer's sensible remarks on the absurd prejudice which exists against the more general study of " Currency," to betake them selves without loss of time to the acquisition of some preliminary or elementary acquaintance (most easily ac quired) of this, the most august and tremendous question, we hesitate not to affirm, of the day, and of which the terrible development that must be brought about by a blind acquiescence much longer continued, in the signal errors of the Premier's monetary legislation, will more fatally convulse this country than any calamity she has experienced since the exhaustion consequent on the civil wars, or the closing of the Exchequer in 1673. We commend, therefore, without further comment, the fol lowing passages to public attention:— " The question of currency is, in fact, mixed, more or less intimately, with some of the bearings of almost every political question of great importance which can come before us. There is hardly one upon which it does not either proximately or remotely bear. Whether it be a question of taxation, or of commerce, or of agricultural position, or of peace or war, or of the laws respecting corn and other provisions, or of tithes, or fixed payments of any kind, national or individual, this übiqui tous question of currency has relation to them all. No man, whatever may be his intellectual resources and acquirements in other respects, can really understand the history of his country for the last century and a half, who is unacquainted with this question. We say, the last century and a half, because it was not until about the period of the Revolution of 1658, that financial exigencies became prominent in the regulation of the political movementslif civilized nations." As to the facility of acquirement, the Reviewer remarks: 1 ' It seems to follow that this portion at all events, of the much controverted science of political economy' is a portion which may be certainly known, which may be termed an ' exact' science, and which he who understands, comprehends in its integrity fully, uopuzzled by any infusion of error, un clouded by any sophistry, undistracted by any specious fallacy ; and this truth we now propose, as the first step in this inquiry, to impress upon the reader." As to "value" and "money," these are his definitions:— " We find from this, that the value of a thing in exchange depends upon its plentity or scarcity, upon the ease or difficulty of getting it ; or, in other words, upon the quantity of laliour which is required to enable us to obtain it. By this surely simple process, we obtain a perfect perception of the bearings of the general term value ;' and by an easy inference, we see, at the same time, that as various things are owing to the dispensations of Providence, sometimes more plentiful than at other times, the exchangeable value of these things is subject to constant variation ; and that exchangeable value' is not only an idea quite distiact from that of positive value, but liable to constant changes as to its application to particular things, of constant use amongst men. Here is another very plain but very simple ste,p in this question. A child may comprehend it ; and yet children of a larger growth' suffer themselves to be confused or puzzled by it, merely from neglecting thus to begin at the beginning. We have now arrived, naturally and easily, at the question of money' and its use. It is surely nothing more than a self-evident thing, that, having once come tosee this tendency to constant variation and flux in the ex changeable values of commodities in use by society, we cannot avoid also perceiving that these constant variations must cause great inconvenience in the barter or exchange of these commo dities. There cannot be, in such a state of bartet, any means of quickly and certainly knowing what the value, at the mo ment, of any commodity was or is compared with the rest. No man could know, easily, how much wheat to give for so much barley, or how much wine for so much oil ; and hence the de sire amongst men to have at hand, at all times, some means of measuring, and, at the same time, expressing the actual ex • changeable value, at the moment, of any commodity and of all commodities. This means is ' money ;' and our next step is to inquire how mankind came to fix upon gold and silver as the best substances of which to coin money—that money, being to be used as a standard measure of the value in exchange of all other commodities." We can only afford room for one more extract. regards Sir Robert Peel's "complement" Bill of lase year : " It is not our intention to disguise, however, our opinion of this celebrated measure. It has been well described as a scheme to prevent ebb-tides, by keeping the country always at low water.' That the intention is such as is here quaintly sha dowed forth is not denied by its author. That it will effect even this portion of the advantage he expects to derive from it, we must take leave to doubt. The Act of 1819 was a mistake —not in its principle, but in its application. The Act of 1844 is not a mistake; but it is worse than that—it is a crotchet,' totally inconsistent with other portions of the policy of the very man in whose prepossessions alone it originates, and with which it is made to limp forward hand in hand. It is impotent to secure, under given circumstances, the ends put forward by its projector as the motives for its enactment. It is at open war with every other enactment of a fiscal or commercial nature to which his administration has given birth." Without committing ourselves by any means to all the opinions contained in this powerful paper, we really look upon it as one of the most able summaries of the "Currency Question" that we have ever yet seen. THE THEOLOGIAN. A Chronicle of Ancient and Modern Divinity, No. VII. The papers in this Number—" Objective Moral ity," " Magic," " Present Spiritual Temptations," " Hieroglyphics," " The Ideal of the Reformation," " Rabbinism "—these form a garland surely of ample variety for extract. They are, however, for the most part, ably written, and full of interest. Yet we find it difficult to convey an adequate notion of one of them by the condensed abridgment of which, alone, our limits would allow—but we " bring up," at once, at a very curious note on the article " Magic," from which we transfer the following whimsical portion, out of respect for the very zealous and learned, but credulous Ashmole. " These very words occur in the notes to a body of treatises professing to explain all these mysteries: it would be difficult to find an instance of a man exhibit ing more acuteness in bolstering up a system of super '.titian, in which he devoutly believed, than Elias Ash mole.

Monday afternoon an inquest was held in the borough gaol, Windsor, before Thomas Marlin, Esq , the Coro ner for Windsor, and a respectable jury, on the body of a new-born male infant, which was found dead in the privy attached to the residence of Mr. Charles Alder, in Spring-gardens, on Friday last. The servant of Mr. Alder, a young girl, named Susan Douglas, between twenty and twenty-one years of age, who had given birth to the in fant, was in custody of the gaoler, but too ill, from the weak state she was in, to be present during the inquiry, which lasted nearly four hours. Mr. Geoffrey Pearl, surgeon, deposed that he was sent for by Mr. Alder ow Friday last, in consequence, as Mr. Alder stated, of a sus picious circumstance having taken place with reference to his female servant. When he went there the girl was out upon an errand. Mrs. Alder told him she thought the girl had been delivered of a child. When the girl returned he told her of the suspicions entertained, but she denied that she had been delivered. Upon examin ing her in the presence of Mrs. Alder, he found that she had borne a child, and very recently ; he told her so, and that she had better say at once what had become of it. She then told him that she had been taken ill while in the privy She looked pale, but not particularly ill. The next day he made a post mortem examination of the child, by the desire of the Mayor. It was a lull grown male infant ; there were no appearances of any external marks of violence to account for its death, and he bad no doubt it was born alive. The umbilical cord was not tied. He had attended the mother of the deceased in the prison since Friday. Mrs. Jane Alder stated that Susan Douglas had lived with her as servant for upwards of four years, and during that time had been particularly steady and honest. Witness was net aware she was in the family way. Witness, in consequence of the girl appearing very ill on Friday last, sent for Mr. Pearl. Mr. Charles Alder, the husband of last witness, said that upon Mr. Pearl discovering that his servant had given birth to a child, he immediately ordered the privy to be opened, when the body of a new-born male child was found by the police near the mouth of the drain leading into the cesspool. James Dobson, police-sergeant, deposed to searching the privy, and find ing the infant lying on its back on the surface of the soil, quite dead. This being the whole of the evidence, the room in which the inquest was held was ordered to be cleared. After the jury had been in deliberation for half-an-hour, Mr. and . Mrs. Alder were again called in and privately examined, and the jury then remained in deliberation for upwards of an hour, and ultimately re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Susan Douglas." The prisoner will be removed to the county gaol at Reading, to take her trial at the next Berkshire assizes, as soon as she is in a fit state to undertake the journey. The girl, who is a native of Wokingham, states the father of the unfortunate infant to be an old man named Day, who died at Windsor, where he was well known, about three weeks since, at the advanced age of between seventy and eighty. THE CONDEMNED AT EXETER.—When the tidings of their respite- was ,cornmunitrated to the prisoners, they all received it with" -gratitude and delight except the imperturb able Serva. This man (the captain of the Echo, a schooner of seventy tons only, with 434 slaves stowed and packed in it) has stood alike unmoved by the terrors of this world and the world to come. For three days, though smitten with a foul and loathsome disease, he underwent the ordeal of the trial without manifesting the slightest sign of uneasiness. He re ceived the doom of death without emotion, and he has since rejected the consolations of religion and the holy offices of the priest, with a cold and bitter sneer. He says his own heart is the depository of its ewn secrets, and no mortal man shall wrest them from him. He received unmoved the merciful de claration of the high sheriff, and turned away with r.s much apathy as if the me s sage of prolonged life and rekindling hope had been the most ordinary matter which a heedless man could impart to an indifferent one. By a private letter which has reached us from Gibraltar, we are informed, upon good authority, that 20,000 slave shac kles, for men, women, and children—in all, fourteen cart-loads—have been fished up from the wreck of the American war -steamer, lately burnt at that port I—Ship ping Gazette. THE RECENT MAGISTERIAL FRACAS AT RO CHESTER.—In consequence of the painful scene which took place between the magistrates on the bench at the County Police Court on Monday, the 21st ult., William Henry Bodkin, one of the Members of the city and borough, has been called upon by some friends to intercede between the parties, and that Learned Gentleman, after some considerable pains, has brought the Rev. George Davies and the Rev. Mr. Formby to an amicable understanding. It is, however, stated that another obstacle has since exhibited itself, which is that Captain Baker and Mr. James Smith feel that an apology is due from the Rev. Mr. Formby to them, as they constituted a portion of the bench on the occasion when the insult was offered, which Mr. Formby declines doing. Several special meetings of the magistrates of this division have been held on the subject, which have been private. It is, however, reported that the matter has been laid before the Secretary of State. The cir cumstance creates considerable public interest, and the wonder is how matters are to end. ` Dr. Campbell in his Hermippus Redivivus, quotes a A SERIES OF MURDERS.— AwTuLDEEDs or BLOOD. singular book published under the title ' Melanges —A gentleman who arrived in Cincinnati lately gave the editor d'Histoire et de Literature par M. de Vigneul Marville,' of the Commercial the following particulars of dreadful deeds of Bonaventure d'Argonne was the real name of the author blood committed on the Wachitta river, in Louisiana a few who called himself Vigneul de Marville ; he was a days since.

Elsewhere we have given anotice--necessarily brief from the pressure of so many meetings—of the opening of the Railways to Ely and Norwich. Most sincerely do we congratulate the Proprietors of the Eastern Counties' Company and of the united Norfolk Company on this consummation of a great undertaking. We trust and believe that it will add materially to the pros perity of the Eastern Counties' Shareholders, and render auspicious to both parties the amalgamation so happily effected between the Companies whose lines meet at Norwich. It will be seen that great praise was awarded to the contractors for the energy and liberality which they have displayed during the progress of the works. Never was praise better deserved. Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and Mr. Jackson, who was associated with them in the undertaking, have most admirably fulfilled their part, and one cannot, in simple justice, but echo the 'commendation which, on Tuesday, was so amply be stowed, and which, coming as it did from quarters so highly influential, must have been as gratifying to those who received, it as it was honourable to those who be stowed it. With respect to the general question of railway com munication for the East Anglian districts, the route to Norwich, via Cambridge and Ely, is circuitous undoubt edly—not less than 1251 miles ; and it is not to be sup posed that the traffic between the metropolis and such an important place as Norwich—to say nothing of its almost equally important sister town, Yarmouth—will continue to take that course a moment after a more direct line of communication is opened. The distance by the Eastern Counties' line to Colchester, and thence by the Eastern Union and Eastern Union Extension to Norwich, will be only 113 miles, and by the Chelms-• ford and Bury, when extended to Thetford, only 110 f. With respect to this last line, by the way, we are glad to perceive an advertisement of " the Extension to Thetford," which appears in our advertising columns (for which extension an additional capital of 250,000/. is required) that " by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties' Railway, • they (the Provisional Committee of the Chelmford and Bury) are as sured of the concurrence of the good offices of that im portant Company i❑ the formation of their line." There is more good sense and sound discretion in this determi nation than vre have been accustomed to observe in the proceedings of the Eastern Counties' officials. It ought clearly to be the policy of the managers of a great trunk line like the Eastern Counties to give every possible en couragement to feeders from all quarters, whether pro moted by parties in or out of " the House ;" for how ever independent in respect of management such feeders may be at first, they are sure to be absorbed and avoal gainated at last. And, least of all, should they be with held from giving such encourag,ment from any narrow calculation of the gain to be made by compelling the pub lic to travel some dozen )r half-dozen miles more by rail than there is any occasion for. They may rest perfectly assured that the best line for the public. will always, in the long run, be the best also for railway proprietors. We have always thought well of the Chelmsford and Bury branch, and have reason to know that it is thought equally well of by the members of the Legislature most conversant with the traffic wants of the East Anglian districts. The members of the Committee of the House of Commons, to whom the Norwich Direct, and Bury and Cambridge lines were rbferred, took occasion re peatedly to advert to the Chelmsford and Bury line (though it was not formally before them) ? as being one which was indispensable to the welfare of the commer cial and agricultural interests of Suffolk and Norfolk ; and when giving the decision against the Norwich Di rect, Lord Sandon, the chairman, emphatically observed, " The Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelms ford and Bury scheme."—Railway Record. LORD MELBOURNE'S OPINION OF SIR R. PEEL'S MINISTRY. At the annual meeting of the Fishmongers' Company, Lord Melbourne was presented with the freedom of the Company, and was afterwards present at the dinner. His health having been proposed by the Prime Warden, and drunk with great applause — Lord MELBOURNE rose and said—Mr. Prime Warden and gentlemen, before I thank this Company for the great honour which they have done me, I must express my regret and concern that the infirm state of my health has compelled me so often to decline the invitations with which I have been honoured, and to put off for so long a time the reception of the honour which I have at length received this morning, and which I highly value and esteem.—(Hear, hear.) I assure you, gentlemen, that I consider it a very high distinction to be enrolled among the members of a Corporation so ancient and respectable, and which has always been distinguished by its steady adherence to the enlightened and constitutional principles of civil ant) religious liberty.—(Hear, hear.) In proposing - my health, the Prime Warden has adverted, in terms highly flattering and compli mentary, and very gratifying to my feelings, to the Ad ministration of which I was the leading Member. — (Hear.) That Administration is now defunct. We are gone, as Members of and as a Government. But pars melior nost , um is still adhuc viva et superstes ; the cm , poreal frame may be said to have expired, and to be con signed to the tomb, but the immortal spirit, the ignea vis animi, is still alive, and not only alive, but active and efficient.—(Loud cheers.) Our principles and opinions, our views of public affairs, still survive us.(Renewed cheers.) They have been adopted and acted upon by those who replaced us, and they have been productive, during the session of Parliament that is just about to terminate, of more than one wise and beneficial measure of measures which I believe to be fit and essential, to be founded upon sound principle, based upon good example, and which, I have the greatest hopes, will confer lasting benefit upon the part of the empire to which they espe cially apply, and upon the community at large. At the same time we all well know that these very mea sures have been productive, in one House of Parliament, of much difference of opinion—that they have been the cause of much bitter feeling, not to say malignant in vective, being levelled age.i.est the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government, upon the notion 'of some supposed inconsistency of these measures with his farmer opinionsand conduct.—(Hear, hear.) Placed as I have been by circumstances in the position of an antagonist and competitor to that Right Honourable Baronet, it is natural that I should look into and ex amine his conduct, not with hostile jealousy or any hostile feeling, but with care and anxiety.— (Hear, hear.) It is natural that I should be anxious to learn what his conduct has been, what have been his measures, what have been the prin ciples upon which they have been founded, and what the language in which he has urged and en forced those hear.) I have made such inquiry and examination, and I think myself bound to state, as the result of it, that I know of nothing in the antecedent conduct of the Right Hon. Baronet which should, in point of consistency, preclude him from bring ing forward either the measures which he has brought forward, or any other measures in the same direction which he may ...onvince his understanding or persuade his conscience would be both expedient and conduce to the benefit and advantage of his country.—(Loud cheers.) Thus much I have thought it my duty to say. I had intended to have said it in Parliament, but I have never been able t 3 find an opportunity of doing so. But, indeed, when I look at the assembly which I have the honour of addressing, and consider how it is composed, I do not think I am likely to find a better opportunity of making this declaration than that which is now presented to me.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I thank you again for the honour which you have conferred upon me. I wish you success in all your undertakings. I know you will undertake nothing which, while it is for your own benefit, is not also for the advantage of your country ; and wishing you elllectiv:ly and individually happiness, prosperity, peace, and every earthly blessing, I respectfully take my leave.

HERRING FISHING. BERWICK, AUG. I.—The take this week has been but very indifferent. On Saturday morning the success was very encouraging. The highest boat 20, and all had a few crans ; but, since, the highest take has been 12 crans, and on some nights a number of the boats did not go off at all. There has, however, always been fish, from a few hundreds to a few trans ; and at this early part of the season a greater quantity has been taken than we remember of. We wonder very much that none of our Berwick boats have gone to the shoal at Dunbar, the wind being so favourable for them. Prices this week are rather higher to the cadgers, and on some mornings as high as 20s. have been given for a cran. We see a vast number of French and Yarmouth luggers passing to the north in quest of herrings. BYEIVIOUTH.—Tuesday morning we had from 1 to 30 crans per boat. Price 14s. per cran. 'Wednesday most of the boats returned clean ; the hi;,•*hest take was five trans ; a few ht ; 2,3, and 4 crafts. On Thursday a ge neral fishing, from 3 to 10 crans per boat, price 15s. The Norfolk Hero sailed on Tuesday, and the William and Ann sailed to day (Thursday) for Yarmouth, with full cargoes. Three more Yarmouth loggers and two ether vessels are waiting on cargoes. Noce of our boats are engaged this season—they are all open to the best market which offers. We have upwards of 40 boats out here this year, besides a large number from adjacent places. From 60 to 80 boats are here eery morning. Since the new quay was built, and the harbour deepened and t nlarged, we have great accommodation both for boats, vessels, ant? carers.

This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages for a libel insert, d by the defendant in the firigh t°3 Guardian, the defendant having suffered judgineDt to go by default. Mr. Ballantine was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Janice for the defence. Mr. BALLANTINE said the plaintiff, Mr. Dew, was ea auctioneer, residing in King William-street, London, and he brought this action to recover compensation in damages for injury to his character and bffsiness by the publication of a libel by the defendant, whose paper had a consider able circulation in Sussex, where plaintiff had many friend s. lie did not impute any m ilice or improper moti ves to the defendant, but he had shown a want of care a nd diligence in this case. Mr. Ballantine here proceeded to narrate the circumstances attending the late East India Cadetship case. Had the report complained of been strictly a report of what took place in London, when a charge was instituted against Mr. Dew by the East India Company, Mr. Dew would not have brought this action, but, instead of reporting what took place, the defendant had condensed the report, not giving Mr. Dew the full benefit of the observations made in the course of hearing the charge, nor giving the people of this county an opportunity of judging of the transaction ; and is the condensation one of the gravest charges from which a man could suffer was made against Mr. Dew. W .
