Sottcrroa—Joseph Cary, Esq., 52, Moorgate-street, London. There are some distinguishing features in this projected railway calculated to give it a decided preference over foreign railways generally. Ist. The preliminary concession for ninety years, under very fa vourable terms, has been already obtained from the Belgian Govern ment, so that there is no risk of present or future competition, or necessity for agreeing to disadvantageous terms in order to obtain such concession. As, according to the law of England, a certain amount must be deposited before a railway Bill be read in Parlia ment, so a deposit must be paid into the public treasury of Belgium, to be afterwards appropriated to the construction of the line, which deposit completes the agreement already entered into. 2. This railway is the second that has ;Jeen offered to private en terprise, as distinguished from the State system of railways. hitherto prevalent is Belgium. It embraces a line of country inferior to none in Europe. As elements of profit the traffic and transit will be vary great, the line running through the richest, most fertile, and mos; po pulous part of Belgium, abounding in minerals, coal, iron, lead, zinc, &c., with quarries of building stone and marble : and connecting it self with the railways of the State, and also with the great line from Calais to Cologne, and, by an intended branch from Mons to Manage (for which the preliminary concession has also been obtained), uniting itself with another great line between Brussels and Paris, which con nects the capitals of two kingdoms. 3d. Its length from Namur to Liege is 48% English miles, and the line from ➢ions to Manage, comprehended in the convention with the Minister, 22 miles, making a total of 65% miles of railway. The line from Namur to Liege, in addition to the Belgian Government survey undertaken by 31. Magis, has been subjected to the inspection of Mr. Rennie, and the estimate applied to this line carefully checked by him. 4th. On the bank; of the river and on the line of this railway there are already twenty-two smelting furnaces, two foundries, three roll ing mills, twenty-three forges, several zinc and copper works, glass- houses, saw-mills for wood and marble, paper-mills, potteries, and bre•brick manufactories. What these may be when the railway is in operation may be gathered from the evidence adduced before Par liament in England, that the average effect of railways has been to quadruple the transit and traffic previously existing. The increase in Belgium has hitherto more than doubled this ratio, which must be further increased by the opening of the German markets, through the operation of the Zollvcrein. _ sth. The responsibility of Shareholders is limited by the Belgian law to 3.loths of the amount of the value of the shares. Applications for prospectuses and shares (see form) may be made to Joseph Cary, Esq., at the offices of the Company, 52, 3loorgate s treet. Report of George Rennie, Esq., C.E., F.R.S., above referred to. To the Chairman and Committee of the proposed Railway from Namur to Liege. Gentlemen,—Agreeably to your request I proceeded to Belgium in the earl. part of the present month, and on the sth and Gth instant, in company with Monsieur Magic, the engineer of the Government, and by whom the plans and other documents were prepared, having made a minute examination of the whole line of country through which the railway passes, and compared the plans and sections of the same, and having also investigated the various calculations rela tive to the cost of constructing the railway, and compared them with similar documents relative to the existing railways of the State, I am of opinion that the proposed line of railway is laid out with judgment and accuracy, and every way worthy of the repu tation of Monsieur 2,1 agis ; that it is very easy of execution, that it presents no difficulties of cutting and embankments, or works of art, that the inclinations scarcely exceed the inclinations of the river Meuse, to which it runs parallel, and that it Is one of the easiest and best lines in Belgium. The works can be executed for the estimate. And, finally, that as a commercial line it is situate in the most fertile and richest district in the kingdom, particularly in minerals, with which it abounds, and that as a main trunk line from the east to the west part of the kingdom it combines great local and great political advantages, inasmuch as it unites the mineral and manu facturing districts with the passenger traffic from Calais to Paris, Calais to Cologne, Calais to Dijon and Lyons, and to the countries eastward of Liege, and it: only requires the junction of the Manage and Mons Rail vays, likewise comprehended in the con cession, to render this one of the most complete railways on the Continent. I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, London, March 22, 1845. GEORGE RENNIE, Form of Application for Shares.

Sir—l beg agreeably to inform you that an individual for whom I sent for your oil has greatly felt the benefit of your most mportant discovery. He has, as I said in my former letter, been under the care of the most eminent surgeons in this county for nearly thirty years, and has been for several months in the various hospital., &c., but to no effect, until he applied your miraculous oil ; last night he told me with► heartfelt gratitude he was well, having no pain, and the Inflam mation gone. I should recommend your appointing an agent in this neighbourhoed.—l am, Sir, yours respectildly, _ _ J. C. EDWARDS, Halden-wood Cottage, near Shrewsbury, Salop, . Mr. Cabburn, King's-cross. _ Sir—l beg to return you my sincere thanks for your kind attention, and at the same time to acknowledge that I experienced more relief fr.nn your oil than I did from any other application or operation per formed upon me, and had I been fortunate enough to have met with you in the early commencement of my afflictions, I should have avoided much misery and distress. For your kindness, I shall ever remain,—Your obliged, humble servant, Ilatton-wall, August 30, 1841. SAMUEL BEST.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS.—AII who de .llght in this foreknowledge should purchase, without loss of time, GRIMSTONE'S WEATHER ALMANACK, whose predic tions of the weather, from his publication to the present day, have been checked by many proprietors of newspapers and other works. The " Times" has eulogised its correctness and peculiar mode of printing; see page 57. The "John Bull," published its usual check, Dec. 22, 1844, giving it, indeed, 336 correct daily predictions : see copy, pages 52 and 54. Alm, " The Sun," the " Globe," the " Era," the " Post," " Herald," " Chronicle," " Satirist," " Punch," and many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work. Amongst the great variety of matter, is an interesting biography of his Royal Highness Prince Albert while at the College of Bonn ; also useful Chronology, Royal Family, both Houses of Parliament, Summary of Population ofthe British Empire, Population ofthe chief towns and cities; a Calendar, containing Sundays, festivals, anniversaries, phenomenons, chronological events, moon's age, eclipses, tides, gar deners' monthly calendar, a column for the weather of every day; pages 3 to 25.

Read page 54, the Medical Report in the "Forceps," Feb. 14, 1844, proving the great advantages arising from the constant use of Grim stone's Eye Snuff having been the cause of clearing our streets of the many green eye-shades, and other human disfigurements. It is the only fashionable snuff of the day sold under the authority of the Lords of the Treasury and Royal Family. Grimstone's Weather Almanack is a beautiful pocket size, with a steel engraving repre senting a bird's eye view of Oxford-street, &c., bound in Waterloo blue, with gilt edges. Sold, at 3d. each, by all the London wholesale publishers and book sellPrs. Wholesale only by the proprietor, W. GRI3ISTONE, foreign snuff and cigar merchant, 434, Oxford-street, London. Copy of one of the above Letters:— Martin's-le-Grand, General Post-office, Inland Department, October 9, 1844. Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a nervous deaffiess, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend tp try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye snuff was in April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, W H. ADAMS. To Mr. W. Gemstone.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—When President Polk made his recent assertion of the " unquestionable" right of the United States to the 9regon Territory, and so broadly intimated their intention So have it by fair means or by foul, it is pretty evident that he did a very foolish thing. That the first speech of a new President, like the first work of a " prentice hand," must be taken cum grano salis, we are perfectly aware. We offer no ob jsetion to the national taste which extorts from every Presi. dent, at every opportunity, these fulsome eulogies of his coun try and its institutions ; nor do we forget that our transat lantic brethren, like their aboriginal predecessors, have a constitutional tendency to soar into " palaver" of a random kind; or that the favourite weapon of the red warrior is still hurled by the white orator in high-flown prose. But there are limits to the allowance to be made even to American Presidents. The British Government has shown itself, throughout the conduct of this affair. extremely slow to take offence. No. claim has been put forward on our part which does not admit of ample support by appeal to every authority which can rationally be appealed to on such a subject. The value to the British colonies in North America of the country west of the Rocky Mountains, and north of the Columbia, is quite equal to that attached by the United States to a similar outlet to the Pacific. Our Borth American trade westward is chiefly in peltries, and China is our principal market. To give up the dis puted territory to the United States, would, there fore, be to give up not only what we have a valid claim to, but what it is of considerable importance we should re tain. Were the elements of the case so altered that the subject of the dispute should be of small value to us, but of great importance to the United States, the point of right might be of little moment. If against us, we should have no interest in pushing the dispute to extremities; and if in our favour the conditions of its cession might be readily and amicably settled by negotiation. But it is not so. The labours of several very able men on both sides have been devoted to the investigation of the respective claims of the two countries. The result is a very general admission of the justice of that of Great Britain, to an extent even greater than that to which it is now urged. And again, every year increases the number of settlers in the northern district of the country, who have placed their dependence for Security of person and property upon the undisputed recognition of British authority from Canada to the mouth of the Columbia. Since Oc tober, 1818, the dispute has been avoided by a tem porary compromise, under which the territory is left open to the subjects of both Powers, without preju dice to their respective claims. But this is an arrangement which, however satisfactory while the country remained un settled and uninhabited except by a few wandering natives and the trappers and collectors of peltry, is obviously incon sistent with the establishment of the forms of government which become requisite as soon as the regular settler makes his appearance. Either party is at liberty to terminate the arrangement on giving a year's notice. But in the mean time, of course, the rights of both are in • abeyance. The negotiations now going on between Mr. Pakenham and the United States Government have for their object the amicable termination of what all admit cannot long endure. By entering upon them, the American Government has tacitly admitted that there is something in the case fairly liable to doubt or dispute. It is not usual either for men or for nations to engage in conference upon matters which either party deems indisputable ; but while such a conference conti nues, it is usual with both to preserve a decent abstinence from any direct allusion or appeal to popular persuasions or pas sions. In meeting our Plenipotentiary, the American Go vernment addresses itself to our judgment and our sense of justice. Does it find in us so great a lack of these as to necessitate an appeal to our feelings—and is the American estimate of our courage and our power so very low as to justify, even to themselves, the special direction of that appeal to our fears ? If this be Mr. Polk's view of the matter, we can confidently assure him he is wrong ; and that an adherence to it will not only fail to facilitate the adjustment ef the present difference of opinion between the two countries, but will probablyopen up one still more difficult to settle. No doubt a large portion of the Ame rican people believe the claim of their Government upon the disputed territory to be a just one. The national imagination is agreeably filled by the idea of extending the Union to the western shores of the Continent; and it needs but the suppression of a few facts, and the sturdy assertion of one or two doubtful doctrines, to make a popular case in favour of the claim. But we can hardly believe that even the American populace can be so besotted as to imagine that we are likely to yield to bullying what we refuse to a fair demand., " The old country," groan though it may under the horrors of despotism and heavy taxes, has yet a fair reputation for courage—has not commonly been found wanting either in the ability or the will to fight when fair occasion offered. We are yet unacquainted, except through the flowery medium of a President's message, with "the' inesti mable blessings" of a purely democratic Government—we do not know what it is to have the highest offices of our Go vernment filled by gentlemen caught hastily in the back woods, with much party-patriotism and little prudence, and quite uncontaminated by official experience ; but we like to keep our own—we do not like to be threatened—and we can fight if we are forced to it. STANDARD.—The Dublin Freeman's Journal offers the following notice of some observations that lately appeared in the Standard:—" The Standard pipes on a new key. That rabid bigot finds himself lashed into submission, and strives to restrain the effervescence of its bile by persuading itself that the increased grant to Maynooth is not a concession,' nor yet a measure of conciliation,' but a measure of compulsion towards the clergy—' a mea sure of Government—a measure (says the Standard) of a sound, and not unjust or harsh policy, compelling the religious teachers' to qualify themselves for their functions. But we must reprint the passage here though we have transferred the whole article to another column :—" The proposed grant to Maynooth is not a measure of concession or of concilia • tion,' to use a phrase which abuse and failure have rendered odious and absurd—it is a measure of Government, a mea sure of a sound, and not unjust or harsh, policy, com pelling the religious teachers of a large proportion of the Queen's subjects to qualify themselves for the office they asssume by a far better education than they now receive. As such a compulsorymeasure the Roman Catholic priests in Ireland treat it, although they cannot honestly con fess the truth, because they cannot charge the proposition with injustice or harshness.' If this sort of coercion satisfies the Standard, we have no reason to complain. It is—yes, it positively is—a measure of coercion, says the Standard. Peel may call it coercion ; the Queen may call it conciliation ; but we know it is neither. Were it either, we would oppose it ; but it is not—it is down right, though neither unjust' nor 'harsh,' comp u l s i on to force those 20,000/. upon the priests, and we will call it such. Why, then, oppose this proposition?" The compulsion of which we spoke is not coercion. It is a compulsion by the public opinion of a man's class, which though the very re verse of coercion, is, in the long run, the most powerful of all influences in directing the conduct of men ; we say in the long run, because we think that we have been misun derstood upon this point by some critics less unfriendly than the Dublin Freeman's Journal. We do not anticipate an early manifestation of improvement in the character of the nriests—the education of an individual is not the work of a day, still less is the education of a class ; but we do anticipate that the Roman Catholic laity knowing that their clergy have the means of respectable education ; and being, as we trust they will be, better educated themselves, will compel the aspirants to the priesthood to avail themselves of the bounty of the State, and will even add something of their own, should the bounty of the State be insufficient. This we count the first stage towards the reformation of Ireland, and it will occupy some years ; but the second stage is morally certain to succeed. This, it may be said, is drawing hope from a distant future. It is—and who knows anything of political science who does not know that the distant future ought to be a principal consideration with statesmen ? All great operations in moral, as in physical nature, are the effect of a long train of causes, acting through a long period of time ; but if such operations are not undertaken, ex cept with the prospect of immediate results, they will not be undertaken at all. Now to another point. In the seeming support which Lord John Russell gave to Ministers on Thursday, his Lordship, in the exercise of the accus tomed craft of his party, did his utmost to damage the measure which he affected to aid, advancing false and offensive arguments in its support, and Lord John, we are sorry to say, was countenanced in the same line by some who ought to have knoWn better. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, April 7. The House sat to-day for the first time to hear appeals since the termination of the Easter recess. The Peers pre sent were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cot tenham, Lord Langdale, and Lord Campbell. "ROBERT ALLEN (A PAUPER) 2.. M`PHERSON, TOMEINS, Ai THOMAS ALLEN. The arguments of this appeal from the decision of the Lord Chancellor, reversing a judgment of the Master of the Rolls, which were only partly heard before the Easter recess, were resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. The case is one of a rather singular nature, and the facts may be thus stated :—John Allen, of HighbUry-place, Islington, by his will, Mated 11th December, 1834, gave and bequeathed differ ent sums of money to various relatives, of whom the plaintiff was one. By the will he appointed M'Pherson and Tomkins his executors. He afterwards made nine codicils to his will. The fourth codicil was in the following words :—" Whereas I am desirous in the event of my daughter Susannah Evans dying in the lifetime of her husband, George Evans, to in crease the provisions hereinafter made for the undermentioned persons : I hereby give and bequeath to Susannah Allen, daughter of my late nephew, Thomas Allen, 3,000/. ; Thomas Allen and Robert (the plaintiff), sons of the said Thomas Allen, 2,0001. each ; and to John Allen, son of my nephew, Charles Allen, the sum of 2,000/. ; the same moneys to be paid as soon as conveni en tly ater my decease, in ad dition to the legacies hereinbefore mentioned." The testator, by his sixth codicil, dated the 22d of March, 1837, gave and bequeathed to the plaintiff one-fourth of the clear residue of his estate and effects, to and for his own use and benefit. By his seventh codicil the tes tator appointed William Allen (one of the defendants) to be a trustee and executor with his former trustees and execu tors. The testator, by his ninth and last codicil, dated the 3d of October, 1837, after revoking the legacies given by his will and codicils to and in trust for his nephew, Charles Allen, and his children, and the child or children of his deceased nephew, Thomas Allen, declared .that they should take no further or other benefit under his will, or any codicil or codicils thereto, save and except as therein mentioned ; and he thereby gave unto trustees, therein named, the sum of 1,000/. sterling, upon trust to invest the same : and to receive the dividends, and pay the sane unto his nephew ( Charles Allen, and his wife , during their lives, and the life of the survivor of them, and after wards to fall into and form part of his residue. And the testator thereby gave' and bequeathed unto Nathaniel Bart.. lett, Susannah Evans, and William Allen (one of fl ip fendants), the sum of 400/. sterling, u on trust, to invest the Game In their names, or in the name of the survivor of them, and to pay the same unto Susannah Allen, at such time as she might marry with consent of the said trustees, or the sur vivor of them, or at such time as tile said trwitee4 mlght think proper. 4q4 after hequeathing the Gm o f ap eg. to Thomas Allen for his own use And benefit, he thereby directed his ex ecutors, as soon as convenient after his decease, to purchase and invest In the names ofNathaniel Bartlett, Susannah Evans, and the defendant, William Allen, the cum of 800/, Three per Cent. ' Consolidated Annuities, for them to receive the dividends there of, and to pay the same by equal weekly instalments unto the plaintiff, during his life, or until he should attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the same, and in such case, he declared that the same should fall into the residue of his personal estate. The testator died on the 28th of November, 1837, leaving his nephew, Charles Allen, and his children, and the plaintiff, and Susannah Allen, and Thomas Allen, the chil dren of Thomas Allen deceased, another nephew of the testa tor, him surviving The will and nine codicils were proved by the defendrnts, Richard M'Pherson, S amue l T om ki ns, an d William Allen, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. The -bill stated that the testator was horn in 1760, at. East Chinnock, Somersetshire, and that at the date of his will lie had acquired a fortune of almost 80,000/. as a wholesale provision merchant at Queenhithe, The bill then stated that the testator had cohabited for many years with one Mary Butler, and that, during such cohabi tation he had one son by her, the defendant William Allen; that lie afterwards intermarried with her, and that Susannah Allen, aftcrwatds Susannah Evans, the wife of George Evans, two of the defendants, was the only child of the marriage. The bill further stated that about the year 1824 a separation took plaCe between the defendants Susannah Evans and George Evans, and that Susannah Evans lived with the tes tator thenceforth up to the time of his death. The bill then alleged, that the mind and intellects of the testator, during the latter months of his life, be came generally weak, and that he was incapable of managing his own affairs ; that during this time his daughter, Susannah Evans, obtained an absolute power and control over him and that in this state of things, having been in formed of the contents of the sixth codicil, she formed a scheme to avail herself of her influence, and in execution of that scheme, she caused a written report of several matters prejudicial to the plaintiff and the rest .of his family to be presented to the testator ; that the report was read to the testator; and that the defendant, William Allen, afterwards took it to the solicitor of the testator, who immediately pre. pared the ninth codicil, which was executed the same even ing. The bill then proceeded to state transactions with various circumstances, tending to show that the testator had always manifested a great interest in his native place, East Chinnock, and in the welfare of the plaintifi; and the other members of his family who lived there ; that he had fre quently expressed himself favourably inclined towards the plaintiff personally and by letter; and that in March, 1837, shortly before the execution of the sixth codicil, the testator assured the plaintiff, and his brother, Thomas Allen, that he had handsomely provided for them. The bill then char4ed, that the affection of the testator was unabated towards the plaintiff until the defendants, Susannah Evans and William Allen, caused the fraudulent and untrue report to be made to the testator; and that, by such fraudulent and untrue report only, the testator was prevailed upon to execute his ninth codicil, and that he signed it without the contents having been read over to him. The bill then stated that the plaintiff had ineffectually attempted to prevent probate of the ninth codicil in the Ecclesiastical Court, but that he was confined to the objection which affected the said will and codicils, as an entire testamentary instrument; and it prayed a declaration that the plaintiff was entitled to the several bequests and legacies given to or intended for him by the testator, in and by his will and other codicils, or any or either of them, without revocation thereof by the ninth codicil ; and that the defendants, Richard M'Pherson, Samuel Toni kins, and William Allen, or Susannah Evans, are or is trus tees or trustee of or to the extent of such bequests and lega cies for the plaintiff ; that an account might be taken of all the personal estate and effects of the testator, possessed by the defendants, or any or either of them, or any or either of their application thereof; and that the proportion to which the plaintiff might be declared entitled in the legacy of 4,000/. bequeathed by the testator in his will to the plaintiff, and Susannah Allen and Thomas Allen, might be paid the plaintiff out of such estate ; and that the legacy of 2,0004 in the fourth codicil, in case the defendant Susannah Evans should die in the lifetime of her husband, might be invested in the names of trustees for his benefit, and that the clear residue might be ascertained, and one-third naid and transferred to the plaintiff for his use and benefit. The defendants, Richard APPlierson, Samuel Tom kins, and William Allen, pet in a general demurrer to the bill and the whole of the discovery—first, for want ofequity ; and, secondly, for want of parties, because the plaintiff had not made Nathaniel Bartlett a party to the bill, or prayed process against him- The Master of the Rolls overruled the demurrer, and the respondents appealed against his decision to the Lord Chancellor, who reversed it en the llth of Nov., 1842. The present was an appeal against that reversal. Mr. KINDERSLEX, before the recess, was heard on the part of the appellant; and to-day Mr. J. RussEr.r. and Mr. J. TURNER were heard for the re spondents. Mr. Kindersley will reply on Monday next. COURT OF CHANCERY, April 7. The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day, in consequence ol Laving to attend the House of Lords. ROLLS' COURT, Apr il 7. The Master of the Rolla having been requested by the aord Chancellor to attend the House of Lords, did not sit in ils Court to-day. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, April 7. (Before the VI CE -C HANCELLOR OF ENGLUND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, this being the first seal, sat in his Court in Lincoln's Inn, and took mo tions to-day, none of which were of interest to the public. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) ELLIS V. GOODSON. IBS Hosouß having disposed of this lengthy case, which related to West India property, proceeded to hear motions, and having nothing further to proceed with, rose shortly after twelve o'clock. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRA3I.) His HONOUR gave judgment in Mayhew v. Edwards, and afterwards heard motions, it being the first seal. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Appal'. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE WILLIA3I BAKER. Mr. William Baker, merchant and general dealer, betiding at Oundle, in the county of Northampton, appeared on the summons of Mr. Thomas Thorpton, in the same county Mr. d as it did not contain a proper description of his b us i ness an d t N erm yas s , of w t h h o e a s p a p n e nn ar o e l fo se r r ll v l e r d B on ak t e h r e , d t e o f o e k nd iv a ibj n t in ec a t s i m on to the inasmuch residence. After a short argument, the Learned Commissioner decided the objection to be good, and ordered the defendant to be discharged, the Court allowing him costs. IN RE HENRY STIMSON. This bankrupt, Mr. Henry Stimson, late farmer and publican, at Hockham, in the county of Rutland, came up for his final order. The granting of the order was op posed by Mr. Boydell, who appeared for Mr. Blackburn, wine merchant, one of the creditors. The defendant was sub jected to a long examination, gone into with the object of showing that the bankrupt had contracted this debt without any reasonable prospect of paying it, and after he had made an assignment of his property to another party ; also that he vexatiously defended an action for the recovery of the same, thus adding a considerable amount of costs to the original debt. His Horrourt decided that there were not sufficient groinds pcbcla case, an dealer,THOMASriatr n..Thaisp Stur g e o n,Fwpß insolvent,E Neaa for the objection, and granted th e d e f en d ant his final order. was his ehn e d a i :nob' finaldne h d ha e s s fe c xo r i: fae b i ntt e i neo i annt prin cipal ohfo t n i The party in th tewh i d l s: a s he e n h d e d p h r tl e o l t l% e e , a c a s s t i o o a n p s p t o os r f a creditors. The insolvent resides at Redburn, near St. Albans, in the county of Hertford, where the debts were contracted. The insolvent had but recently gone to live there, and gave himself out in the neighbourhood as a man of substance, and kept several dogs, with which he was in the regular habit of sporting. These appearances induced the tradesmen of Redburn to give him credit, the d e f en d an t having repeatedly represented himself as possessed of consi derable money in the funds, which was not the fact. At the very time that lie had applied for the protection of that Court he was going about the town flourishing a 1,000/. note, which turned out to be a flash one, and offering to lend money, the object being to obtain goods by these fraudulent representations. The opposition was made on the ground that the petitioning creditors had been induced to supply goods by these means, the impression being that he was a gentleman. Evidence was tendered in support of theseallegations, when His HONOUR stated that sufficient had been advanced to induce him to refuse the anal order.—The case was then ad journed sine die. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. The sixth session of the present mayoralty commenced this morning, at the Old Bailey, before the Lord Mayor, the Re corder, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Sidney, and Mi. Alderman Hughes. The calendar is unusually heavy, there being no less than 224 names down for trial. Two of these cases are for mur der : one of them being Thomas Henry Hocker, who is doubly 'indicted—first, " for the w ilf u l mur d er o f J ames Delarue ; ' and secondly, for " a robbery on James Delarue, and steal ing one watch, one ring, and 12 sovereigns, his goods and moneys, and immediately before said robbery wounding said James Delarue." The second murder is that of an infant child by its mother, Ann Pendry. There are two cases of bigamy, five of burglary, two of cutting and wounding, three of forging and uttering forged instruments, seven of house breaking and larceny, two of skeep-stealing, and one of rob bery from the Post-office. Robert Bannister, the draper of Portsea, who, it will be remembered, was brought in custody from the island of Madeira, stands indicted for unlawfully obtaining goods with intent to cheat certain of his cre ditors. The remaining offences are of a minor charac ter. Of the total calendar London furnishes 57 pris Middlesex 108, Essex 8, and Kent 22. A considerableaddi tion will no doubt be made before the end of the week, and among the names added will be that of Joseph _C_o_nnor, com mitted on Saturday from Bow-street, f or the wilful murder of Mary Brothers, in George-street, St. Giles's. sworn,cliarg them as follows : Gentlemen Grand Jury p h r a e v e i e n e g de b d een to j e r u a r liy ' thing more than the ordinary Gen t lem eine interval I t 7e h l e t h G a r t a n g d en — Something - a - lls between these see thepresent w e have in consequence an increased sions having occurred, number of charges in indictments; but I have been com m it ted since that understand t c h a a i e t n l d 6 a r additional pr prisoners t m o a s k u i p n p g o a se h t t ota a l t of 240. indictments.

Crimes of the greatest enormity are presented, and among others there are two oases of murder, which have already attracted hat , to lunch of ih^ public notice, through the medium dike press. t - 92aQ10 that Tour miudsSheuld tot divest' NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The snow on the ground, and con tinuing fro s t an d co l d, inclined him to delay bis visit, when, to his no small surprise, a fortnight since he was commanded not to proceed, the Queen having altered her mind, and actually become the purchaser. Mr. Robins has to console himself for the loss of commission on Osborne estate by the sale of Thornhill Park, not far distant, sad its beautiful demesne ; the edifice, it is said, exceeding in splendour Osborne House. Mr. Hogg, the late M.P. for Southampton, incurred an expenditure of 30,0004 on the mansion and offices alone, and with it appendages and the farms he has consumed 50,000 guineas at least. The far-famed Hotel at Slough has again resumed its spirited and active operations. Monsieur Dotesio has put forth a well-digested announcemenr in our journal this evening, stating his claims to public patronage, and from the style and tact that is so evident throughout, it is amongst the "on dits" of the Royal Hotel, that George Robins has had a finger in the pie, or in other words, has played first fiddle in the composition. We believe Dotesie is well justified in his assertion, that it is "La Premiere Maison toujours Digne d'un pubic Anylais ; " and this year's experience has proclaimed that both comfort and moderate charges are now conspicuous in every department.

Ido net mean to say that the publication of these cases should have the effeci" of prejudicing your minds, but you have to ascertain, vrithat reference to anything that may have passed e l sew h whether there is sufficient evidence to `constitu4 ss,;ehittge against the parties. The cases to which I advittOare so no torious as to render any particular allusion to them wholly unnecessary. I mean the c ase of murder committed at Hampstead, and that mor e recently perpetrated in the parish of St. Giles's, in which latter case the prisoner was only committed on Saturday. Gentlemen, I do not think I should be advancing the interests of public jus tice were I to refer to the evidence, or to make any com ment upon the evidence taken in either of those cases. The facts will appear before you, and you will have to judge ac cording to the evidence; at the same time I feel it is my duty to say, that as regards your peculiar province I can en tertain no doubt that You will come to the proper conclusion in both these cases. As soon as it shall be proved to your satisfaction that the murder has been committed by some one, and the facts lead you to infer that the accused is the partv, then it is incumbent upon him to prove his innocence. The law upon the subject is very brief and pointed: The fact of the commission of the offence by some one having been first proved, the question of his innocence must be satisfactorily proved by the prisoner. The law presumes that murder is founded in malice unless the contrary appears in the facts of the case. Now, the rule as laid down by the law and pray: Lice in reference to malice is this. The law by the term malice holds that the effect had been intended of wickedlvde priving a fellow-creature of life, and the fact that such killing has taken place under certain circumstances carries a plain indication of a heart regardless of social duties and indifferent to the commands of all law. lf, therefore, you find that the party charged in the indictment destroys life under peculiar circumstances, it is perfectly reasonable that the proof of jus tification should rest with the same individual. lon will rea dily understand that cases may occur where death may arise from violence, in which no higher verdict than that 01 mar slaughter or justifiable homicide can be recorded. 1 mention that merely to explain my argument, and not because it has any applicability to these cases. There is also a case of infanticide, where a young woman is charged with destroy ing her infant at the time of birth. On this subject there is annexed a condition by Act of Parliament applicable I think to this case. It orders an inquiry as to whether there are circumstances indicative of a determination to destroy life, or whether the purpose has been that only cf concealment of birth. There may be circumstances which indicate in some measure that the woman charged is the cause of the death of the child by some act of hers, but in order to bring her under the operation of the law on the charge of murder, it ` must be proved that that death was wilfully intended, and caused by some wilful act. If a woman delivers herself of a child, and by Secret burying endeavours to conceal the fact of the birth, she is liable to imprisonment, with or without hard • labour, in any of her Majesty's gaols, for a term not exceeding two years, and thus you will be enabled by the discretionary powers allowed you, where the party is indicted fir murder, and where the evidence will not carry that indictment out, to re turn a true bill fur the concealment of the birth. I think that that discretion may be wisely exercised in this case, for with the exception of a trifling mark upon the head, there is - nothing to indicate that any violence has been used to the infant. That mark is also simply accounted for by the very peculiar circumstances attending the birth ; and on looking at the depositions, it does appear to me to be the most slender case possible to support a charge of murder. There are also charges in the calendar of child-stealing ; of attempts to rob from the person ; of receiving stolen goods ; of housebreaking ; of forgery ; of uttering counterfeit coin ; and, in fact, crimes of all shades and character, and with which criminal courts are but too conversant. Let us, then, • rest entirely on matters of fact. I do not think that you require to be particularly instructed upon them. Gentlemen, I am sure, in dismissing you to your duties, that you will allow no unnecessary delay, at the same time that you give every case that grave and earnest attention it merits. The grand jury was then dismissed, and the petit jury sworn in. A number of cases of felony were disposed of during the day, and the Court adjourned at five o'clock. tr o d stil e l i rob r oon t \ i , f';f Vr of 4 ; I V .ll $ ll Ol scl' tt , If ' 1 , r, rO irc ' 410,p I.
