When a popular body is really in earnest, it has neither leisure nor inclination to resort to tricky, superficial, common-place expedients in order to pack an audience ; and accordingly the League trusts to the justice of its cause—and this only—to obtain hearers and ensure attention. And its confi dence is not thrown away. Week after week the number of its proselytes increases ; and those who last night witnessed its proceedings, who heard the subdued hum of heartfelt approbation given to the clinching arguments of its speakers, and the stern, indignant bursts of scorn that arose from the au dience, as from one man, when the selfish sophistries of the Monopolists were exposed ;—those, we say, who heard all this, must have been hopelessly prejudiced indeed, if they did not leave Covent garden with the impre,sion that the Anti-Corn-law League is as " great a fact," as the circumstance of the Duke of RICHMOND being a Tory is a small one. The League a " great fact !" Aye, verily is it, and the greatest, the most triumphant of facts—a fact destined, ere the world is two years older, to shake the rotten fabric of Monopoly to its centre—a fact destined to re-model the whole commercial system of the country—a fact destined to scatter far and wide the blessings of intelligence, happiness, and prosperity—a fact destined to raise the moral and in tellectual character of the vast masses of our working population—a fact destined to make its influence felt at the remotest regions of the earth—a fact des tined to bind adverse and distant nations together in the bonds of one common brotherhood ;—in a word, a fact destined to supply the one great want of the age, and leave posterity its debtor to remotest genera tions ! So surely as the handwriting on the wall pre figured the fall of Babylon, do the weekly meetings of the Anti-Corn-law League indicate the fast approach ing doom of Monopoly. Vain, henceforth, is all the opposition that may be made, whether within or with out the walls of Parliament, to this mighty national movement. The strong propelling impulse is given— the irrevocable determination is made—the fiat, which may not be disputed, is gone forth--and the whole false system of Protection must, ere long, come down with a crash on the heads of those who support it. On the exertions of no one public-spirited individual does the League now depend for success. The days of its comparative weakness are passed ; and were Mr. COBDEN—which may Heaven, in its mercy, forbid ! to be removed from the stage of life to-morrow ; were even the entire Council to be cut off by the scythe of the old Destroyer, the League would still exit—still be as influential a confederacy as ever, because it has a dwelling-place in the heart of the people—because it gives utter ance to the national wi_l—because, in short, it is a living, active principle, which no Government can grapple with, which neither horse, foot, nor ar tillery can put down, which defies even the Cicero nian persuasiveness of SIBTTIORP, and the Demos thenic vigour of PETER BORTHWICK. When you can infuse grandeur and elevation into the intellect of Sir ROBERT PEEL—Convert a BLOMFIELD into a paragon of Apostolic disinterestedness and self-denial —or hid a PIIILPOTTS cease to lament for the loss of his rich rectory of Stanhope— when you can perform impossibilities like these, then—but not till then— will you be able to extinguish the Anti-Corn-law League ! The debate of Monday evening last on the Miscel laneous Estimates, was calculated to produce a forcible impression on the public mind of the really valuable labours which, session after session, are undertaken and performed by a knot of conscientious, vigilant, and disinterested guardians of the public purse. The truth of the old adage, that " what is every body's business is nobody's business," is, under no circum stance, more instructively exemplified than in the House of Commons' discussions on the management of our national expenditure. The two startling facts, that, of a total revenue from taxation and all other sources, amounting to nearly 50,000,0001. per annum, the interest and charge of the public debt are about some two or three millions more than the moiety ; and that the remaining balance only being available to the indispensable services of the empire, its fleets and armies, royal, judicial, and civil establishments, pensions, half-pay, &c. &c., it therefore becomes of paramount importance to keep down every head of expense to a scale of the utmost economy compatible with the efficiency and ener gies of the service; these facts should suffice to imbue every Member of the House of Commons with a deep sense of the duty of vigilant supervision, so far as he is concerned, over every proposed outlay of the public money. He is returned by his consti tuents, invested with that as among the most im portant trusts with which it is possible for a fellow subject to be clothed, by those who confide to him the exercise of their most important privileges. It is no torious, however, that unless, in respect of some par ticular and isolated vote, especially if it involve a new grant not previously allowed by the Legislbture, the statements of the several functionaries charged with the duty of bringing forward the estimates prepared by the several departments over which they severally preside—are made to almost empty benches. The Com mittee of Supply is usually graced, indeed, by the pre sence of the Ministerial Leader, and of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But how wearisome the attendance on its sittings, in which beyond all question the most important administrative business of Parliament is transacted, is considered by the majority of 'Members, may he inferred from the common occurrence of the House being, on such occasions, counted out, not being able to make 40 Members. Even at this period of the session only 58 Members, on both sides, divided on Monday night on a vote, not calculated to " bore them" by any considerations of political principles involved in it, and one, therefore, which probably ar rayed many more Members than would otherwise have been found in their places, for it regarded the continuation of a provision for providing sixteen Queen's plates"—(at the public ex pense, though)—" to be run for at races in Ireland." Mr. WILLI A NIS and Mr. Humn, for the people, whom they seem to think overtaxed enough without having to meet charges of this kind, opposed so much of a particular vote as went to appropriate 1,5741. for this highly judicious, conciliatory, and profoundly politic purpose. Colonel Sir F. TRENCH and Colonel SIBTHORP, for the races, " rode the high horse," and, cn a division, "won the plate" by a majority of 22. This result is worth a remark. Sir R. PEEL'S Go vernment may have felt (as its advocates contend) so keenly as to the jeopardy in which the Union between the two kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland was being placed by O'CONNEIXS Repeal agitation, as to have acted conscientiously in venturing on the expe riment of the State prosecutions. But with what umningled satisfaction must they now feel themselves secure of Irish hearts, and Irish peace and thankful ness, by having practis ed on the liberalit y of the Imperial Parliament with so much success as to in duce it to renew the grant of the Phoenix Park and Lord Lieutenant's plates ! - We find that without adverting to some larger items, the amount of which would have considerably swelled the aggregate we are about to speak of, the very reasonable propositions, as they seem to us, of Mr. HUME and Mr. W. WILLIAMS on Monday night, would, had they been carried, have effected a reduc tion of expenditure on the then submitted estimates, alone, of nearly 100,0001. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the exp en di ture ( an annua l one , a l mos t t o th e extent of 5,0001.) i on the improvements of Phoenix Park, Dublin, avez. I proper cannotsubjectperbe that for t curtailment such a sum can b altogether.urtailmenteever So do year—after alt that has been laid out on wanted this the same locality ; and the proospaelr demesnes,expenditure of the woods and forests, or the r &c., in England, as well as in Ireland, palaces,l for stricter attention and inquiry than the really ea 14 f Commons at large has yet shown itself dispo se d om to e p o to it. A vote of more than 68,0001. for the yearly y ' salaries of the officers of the two Houses of Parlia ment, &c., and, in the absence of any detailed estimate, for the Lords, Mr. HUME proposed to reduce by 12,000/. ; and he wished altogether to cancel another foolish item of 2,2501., for en grossing Parliamentary Bills. Why they should not be written, nobody could show. No matter ; all these proposals were rejected. The same fate attended the remonstrance of Mr. WAR BURTON and others against a charge of 20,000/. 1 for one year's )ourneis of QUEEN'S messengers.

We would earnestly recommend all those who may still entertain doubts as to whether or not the Anti- Corn-law League is a " Feat fact," to attend one of the weekly meetings of that national confederacy, and judge for themselves of the extent of its moral influ ence, instead of taking their notions econd-hand from others. Let them attend at Covent- s garden but once , let them exercise but ordinary faculties of observa tion ; and most assuredly they will come away with the impression that the League is not only " a great fact," but incomparably the greatest that this age, so :fertile in movements of all kinds, can exhibit. It is inct that they will be struck with the bustle—the vi vac:ty—the entertaining character of the proceedings ; they Aill find nobrilliant fashionable audience to delight their powers of vision :;.they will hear no clap-trap, or namental appeals to the mere passions, neat, cleverso pliistry calculated to bewilder, while it amuses, the fancy—they'will see and h ear not hi ng of this sort ; atlieatlifigirnore impressive —far surer to leave an -,...„lndeliblr:,-"lstpcesgon on the mind—they will see a - aro lictur wil y*, calm, earnest, thoughtful, and in liitatikrAf 0144A•anour Vaa intensity of its interest - . I MR, T3-IE SUN, LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 18, 1844. seems these gentlemen don't travel by railroad. They ought to do so for expedition's sake, and for economy. This last consideration would certainly, we should say, justify the reduction of the vote by 10,0001., or one-half. Colonel SIBTHORP (whom it is lovely to find, in spite of his beard, an occasional Reformer), gave notice of his intention to move the Crown for the removal of the present Comptroller of the Exche quer, as a most useless officer. This would bring the Exchequer vote down to 2,0001. less than its present amount. Mr. HUME, very properly considering that the Church had enough wherewith to pay the Eccle siastical Commissioners for England, was for striking out the item for their annual salaries and official ex penditure, 3,2001.; but this also was retained, like preceding votes. The same indefatigable and useful Member argued that inasmuch as six Poor-law Com missioners, at salaries of 2,0001. per annum each, (very large allowances, we should say), would amply and most efficiently replace the present Commis sioners and their ostentatious official staff, the vote called for, on account of the latter, of 53,0001., ought to be withdrawn, or reduced by 12,000/. ; say to 41,0001. His proposal was rejected. On this point, again, it is impossible to deny that Mr. HUME produced a good case, and made a very fair offer. And we cannot refrain from saying as much of his proposal to cut down the grant of 870/. for travelling expenses (of one year) to Poor-law Commissioners. It might have been, we appre hend, without injustice, reduced by one-half. Of the 212,3241. voted as the expenses of stationery and printing in the Government departments, a little real disposition to economise, on the part of Ministers, would have enabled them to dispense, say, with 12,000/. On these votes, also, from 90,0001. to 100,0001. might be annually saved, if such indefatigable and upright labourers in the great cause of econo mising the public expenditure as Mr. HUME and his friends, could find a body of supporters as c2nstant in their assiduity to business of so unpleasant, cer tainly, but of so momentous and public-spirited a character, as that to which Mr. HuME devotes himself in the Committee of Supply. Let us consider how small and insignificant a frac tion the grants or votes we have written of form of the great aggregate of annual charges on the public revenue. If, by the application of similar principles of searching and vigorous inquiry, and the same pr tinacity in insisting upon explanations and informa tion, these reductions of charge could be pushed, as w( are satisfied they might be, in all the various depart ments of the public service, Civil List, &c., from hun dreds of thousands to millions ; who shall undertake to say in what degree the burdens of the people might be presently lightened; the debt decreased; the re venue enlarged by more of it being relieved for various branches of service ; and thus, new develop ment be given to capital, labour, and commerce. We learn from Constantinople that Sir STRATFORD CANNING and the Baron DE BOURQUENEY, not satis fied with the answers to their demands given by •th(- Turkish Ministers, had requested an interview with the SULTAN himself, and the request was instantly complied with. The following is an account of the interview, and of the state of affairs in Roumelia and Albania, as given in the Journal de Constantinople 01 the 26th ult.:— " On the 23d his Excellency Sir S. Canning, the English Ambassador, was admitted to a solemn audience of the Sul tan at the Imperial Palace of Top Kapou, where he war treated with all the marks of the highest distinction. A guard of honour, composed of the chief officers of the palace, received him at the outer entrance into the gardens, and escorted him to the apartments of his Ilighuess. The interview was most cordial—the Grand Seignior giving to the representative of her Britannic Majesty a wel come full of frankness and good will, and the senti ments interchanged between them cannot but contri• bate to draw closer the ties which unite the Sultan and her Majesty the Queen of England. His Highness Abdul Medjid has on this occasion given a new proof of the noble sentiments of humanity and justice which all the world take delight in admiring in him, by declaring spontaneously, and in the most generous and dignified manner, that while he reigned he would never permit religious persecution, and that the Christians shall be treated with every kindness and a strict observance of equity. On the following day the Baron de Bourqueney, Minister Plenipotentiary for France, went to the palace on the express invitation of the Sultan. To hint were rendered the same honours as had been paid to the English Ambassador, and, on being admitted to the presence of the Sultan, his recep tion was most distinguished and flattering, the Grand Seignior giving him the same assurances as he had given to Sir Stratford Canning (the English Ambassador). On the same day there was a meeting of the Council of the Sublime Porte after the weekly sitting of the Council. The Ottoman Cabinet continues to be engaged in taking measures for the most energetic and effectual repression of the afflicting disorders which have lately disturbed several points of Albania and Roumelia, and which have been committed by bands of Albanian malefactors, accustomed from time immemorial to live by violence and plunder. Politics have no connection whatever with these excesses, but as a lengthened im punity or half measures only encourage these brigands, and increase their number, the Sublime Porte has deter mined to use all the means within its power to put a stop at once to a state of things so adverse to that good order and security which a peaceable people ought to enjoy under a good Government. To this end an imposing force has been sent, partly from the capital partly from the head-quarters of the army in Roumelia against the disturbers of the public repose, and rigid orders have been sent to the governors and other authorities of the above-mentioned provinces to second the military power in purging these couldries of the wretches who are disturbing the tranquillity of the inhabitants, and incessantly compro mising their safety by the most reprehensible excesses. No doubt is entertained of the efficacy of the means employed, and we hope that we shall be able to announce in a few days that the offenders have received exemplary chastise ment, and rendered for a long time incapable of renewing their atrocities." The assurances given by the SULTAN to Sir STRAT FORD CANNING and M. DE BOURQUENEY, it is said, were introduced into the text of the answer, which had been rejected as insufficient ; and that the answer thus modified was sent to the Ministers and the Ulemas, with orders to place their seal on it. Madrid journals of the 10th inst. have been re ceive-d. It would appear from these, as well as from private letters, that considerable anxiety prevailed at Madrid relative to the plots of the Carlists. Visible symptoms of rebellion had manifested themselves in several places, and a report prevailed that a body of Carlists had taken possession of Morella. General RONCALI was ordered, with all the forces _under his command, to proceed to the disturbed districts. The Three per Cents. were done on the 10th inst. at 351 cash ; 361 at 60 days ; and the Fives at 231 at 60 days. speechi and an animated reply from M. VILLEMAIN tO Count MATHIEU DE LAREDORTE terminated the sitting. Frankly, M. VILLEMAIN'S remarks came very oppor tunely to indemnify us a little for this long and heavy discussion. They do not listen enough in the Cham ber of Deputies, and too much in the Peers." The debate was resumed on Tuesday, when vio lent attacks were made by opposition Peers on the Government, but up to the hour of post M. GUIZOT had not replied. In the Chamber of Deputies, M. BILLAULT brought the same subject forward, and called upon the Go vernment to fix a day for the discussion. M. CUNIN GRIDAINE said the Government were anxious to answer all questions, and he should, therefore, move that Friday be fixed, calling the attention of the Chamber to the question. " This," says the Journal des Debats, " is to he the finishing stroke from which the Ministry is not to recover. This is what we shall see on Friday. There have been now, if we reckon them all up, six or seven times attempts during the session, on the part of the Opposition of all shades of colour, to crush the Cabinet ; and yet the Cabinet is still standing, and we can assure the Opposition that it waits for this new attack with the utmost confi dence. The Opposition thinks itself strong and well armed in this affair of Otaheite ; but there is something stronger than the eloquence of Messrs. THIERS, BERRYER, BARROT, BILLAULT, D ucos, and CHAMBOLLE ; there is something more effec tive than all their declamation—it is the declara tion, which has not been changed since it was so lemnly judged by the Chamber. The report of Ad miral DUPETIT THOUARS has arrived, and is in the hands of the Opposition ; but, do what it will, it will not find what it seeks—an arm against the Cabinet. We defy them to it. The question is now what it was two months back, when a majority of forty-five votes decided that the conduct of the Cabinet allowed no room for cavil, and, in our opinion, that is the whole affair. Intrigue may, therefore, display its manoeuvres and open its batteries. We shall see what will be the result." According to some journals, M. THIERS, and his heterogeneous body of supporters, will be satisfied with nothing less than the impeach ment of the " foreigner," M. GUIZOT. " The Emancipation of Toulouse publishes a letter from Papeiti, the port of Otaheite, dated the Ist of December. It speaks in terms of high satisfaction of the occupation of the French, and states that the island was perfectly tranquil, with the exception of occasional boxing-matches, between the English sailors and the French soldiers, but adds, that the French and English officers lived in per fect harmony. The French were busily engaged in for tifying Papeiti, and were already at work upon five batteries and a fortress. The Governor had taken possession of the house of Queen Pomare as a palace for himself, and the Queen was residing with Mr. Pritchard. An extensive fire took place on the 26th of November. It destroyed the ware house of four French merchants . , and caused a collective loss of 150,000 fr. The writer of this letter states that tho popu lation of Papeiti amounts to 6,300, viz., 3,500 natives, 800 European residents, including the garrison, and 2,000 of the shifting population of sailors and others in the port."

It appears from an announcement made by Mr. Cobden last evening, at the Great League Meeting, that it is the intention of the Council of the League to have a Bazaar in Covent-garden Theitre before the close of the season, in aid of the League fund. At this Bazaar it is intended to collect, as it were, into a focus, every species of manufacture in the kingdom. Specimens of everything made in metal, from a steam engine to a needle, will be found there. Specimens of every kind of silk, worsted, or cotton manufacture, of all that the ingenuity of the manufacturers of England can produce, will be bro ug ht t oget h er at that Bazaar. It will be, in fact, a complete exposition des arts et des métiers, and will constitute one of the most amusing and instructive exhibitions in the metropolis. That this exhibition will give a great impetus to the progress of free trade principles no one can, for an instant, doubt. The industrious classes are already free traders. The idlers—at least such of them as possess minds—would be so if they would only give themselves the trouble to think, or if their attention could be in any way directed to the subject. This exhibition will se direct their attention. It will be come a fashionable lounge, everybody will go to it, and, to quote the words of Mr. Cobden, " after viewing this exhibition we will put to them this question, and this question only—' Do you think that the hands that made these ingenious articles ought to lie hanging idly by the sides of men who arc pining for the want of bread ? They will thus be brought to think seriously on the subject —to investigate it in all its bearings ; and the result must necessarily be that they will become free traders, not in the abstract only, but thoroughly practical anti-monopolists. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths dining the week, ending Saturday April 13, is below the average. The total number was 870, the average being 883. In almost every case there is a decrease. Small-pox, epidemic diseases, and typhus show a slight increase, but so small that it hardly requires notice. The number of deaths from small-pox is 21, average 12 ; and of the 21, 14 had not been vaccinated. The deaths from diseases of the lungs are 257, average 269 ; pneumonia 55, ave rage 65 ; bronchitis 17, average 11 ; consumption 136, average 155 ; old age 64, the same as the ave rage; violent deaths 13, average 24. In this list the number e rthefsuicides murder 1, drowning 2, accidental, r scald s 2. Th e th ermome t er d s very high for the season, nuo week a s n fromdheass i stood 3 the average being 61.1 for the highest. The highest temperature was on Tuesday and Wednesday, when the thermometer stood at 66.7, and the lowest on Monday 34 degrees. The wind during the week was westerly, and the weather altogether uncommonly fin, for the month of April. In the French Chamber of Peers on Monday the Prince DE LA MOSCOWA (son of the unfortunate Marshal NEY) made a long speech on that inter minable subject, the deposition of Queen PomanE. On the motion for a vote of one million of francs for secret service money, -he took a review of the policy pursued by the Government, and of course did not omit the resolution come to by the Cabinet, by which the QUEEN was restored to her former position, and the brave Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS re-called. This he condemned in strong terms, and after a similar speech from M. DE LA REDORTE, the Minister of Instruction (M. ILLEMAIN) spoke in de fence of the Government, when the debate was adjourned. From all accounts, it was a very heavy affair, and it is needless to advert to it any further than by giving the following brief and pithy arguments from the Journal des Debats in favour of the policy adopted by the Cabinet :—" In our quality of conscientious chroniclers," it states, " we are obliged to declare that the long speeches of Prince DE LA MOSCOWA and Count MATHIEU DE LA REDORTE do not appear to us to change the state of the question.

The further arguments in this part-heard appeal from the decision ofthe Vice-Chancellor of England occupied his Lord ship the whole morning. The question in the case was, whether a power of appointment had been properly exercised. The Vice- Chancellor of England decided that it had not, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY). The VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND took cause petitions to-day, none of which possessed any feature of interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir JAMES WIGRAM.) GRIFFITII V. RICKETTS. The Court was engaged during the morning in hearing the arguments in the above part-heard case, which came before the Court on demurrer. The case was of no interest except to the parties immediately concerned. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. HAYNES AND OTHERS. - This was an indictment against the defendants, who were the parish officers of the parish of St. Michael, in the city of Oxford, for disobedience to an order of sessions, in not paying a suns which they had been ordered to pay as the expenses of an appeal. The case was tried at the last Oxf)rd Assizes, and the defendants Haynes and Foster, the churchwardens, were found guilty, and the other defendants Byron and Walker, who were the overseers, were acquitted. Mr. WnATELy, on behalf of the two first defendants, now applied for a rule nisi to enter a verdict for the defendants or in arrest of judgment. The circum stances of the case were these. Several of the new buildings of the Colleges in Oxford had been rated to the poor, and an attempt had Leon made to rate the old foundations of Jesus College and of Exeter College. A rate had been made and an appeal entered against it, on the ground that the parish officers had omitted to rate these ancient foundations. The College authorities refused to interfere—the parish of. ficers did not defend the rate, and when the appeal came on for hearing, it had been disposed of by the Sessions as, in fact, an undefended cause ; and the Recorder of Ox ford, to the astonishment, he believed, of every one present, had ordered the parish officers of St. Michael to pay 3041. BS., as the costs of this undefended appeal. They had re fused to pay this sum, and this indictment was in conse quence preferred against them. He applied for the rule on the L round—first, that the Recorder had no jurisdiction whatever in the case, inasmuch as the rate was assessed under a local Act, and that as by that local Act the guardians of the poor were the persons to whom the rate was paid, the defendants had in fact no funds out of which to pay the costs. The Learned Counsel was proceeding with his argument when he was interrupted by Lord DENMAN, who said that as there were many points of law which would arise for consideration in the case, it had better go into the Crown paper for argument. WORTIDNOTON, ADMINISTRATOR OF - DUNCAN DECEASED, V. GEDISDITCH, M.P. This was an action for money lent and interest thereon, which had been tried before Mr. Justice Williams at Chester, and in which a verdict passed for the plaintiff for 1,2081. 10s. Mr. Ev.tNs now moved for a rule nisi to enter a verdict for defendant on the third plea, the statute of limitations. The defendant, it appeared, had in 1810, 1813, and 1816, borrowed of the Misses Duncan, the last of whom died in 1842, various sums of money in bond. There were various accounts of pecuniary transactions between the parties, but these ac counts ceased in 1823, but there was au account put in, dated 1824, in the defendant's handwriting, stating that he had paid half a year's rent for the Misses. Duncan, up to 1825. The rent was annually 17/. less than the sum the defendant owed for interest, and to tako the ease out of the sta tute, the steward of the landlord under whom the Misse3 Duncan held was called to prove that the defendant had regularly paid the rent for the Misses Duncan up to the time of the decease of the survivor of the sisters. He con tended that the evidence was not sufficient to take time case out of the statute of limitations, and submitted that he was therefore entitled to his rule. Lord DEN MAN—Take a rule. BAIL COURT,-(THIS DAY), (Before Mr. Justice WifarrmAN.) THE QUEEN V. THE HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an application, made by Mr. Watson, to compel the Hull and Selby Railway Company to pay over a sum of 2,5001. to the Company of Proprietors of a bridge, called the Selby Bridge. The facts elicired were these :—that the bridge in question was erected in 1791 under an Act of Parliament ; that in 1836 an Act was passed for making and maintaining the Hull and Selby Railway ; and in that Act it was enacted that should loss accrue to the Bridge Company from the work ing of the railway, then such loss should be made good to the Bridge Company by the payment on the part of the Railway Company of a sum of money, equal to ten years' purchase of the ascertained decrease of the Bridge tolls, provided such sum should not exceed 2,5001. The affidavits filed stated that the decrease in the Bridge tolls very far exceeded that sum, and, therefore, the present application was made. The Court granted the rule asked fbr. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ININKLEY V. ASH. This action was brought to recover the sum of 10/., the amount of a quarter's rent, for a house occupied by the de fendant, a beer-shop keeper, in Byer-lane. The defence set up was that the defendant's son was the real tenant, but this being disproved in evidence, the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. MORGAN V. CUMBERLAND. In this case (which we believe was to recover compensa tion in damages for injuries which the plaintiff alleged he had sustained from certain slanderous expressions uttered by the defendant), Mr. JAMES said the parties had consented to a verdict of 40s. being entered for the plaintiff. CLERKENWELL (THIS DAY.) A dravman, named Cousins, in the employment of Messrs. Reid, the brewers, and residing on Saffron-hill, was charged with assaulting his wife and two police -constables. It appeared, from the evidence, that police. constable Mar tin, 144 G, being on duty on Saffron-hill, between five and six this morning, heard cries of "murder" proceed from a house there, and, on reaching the landing on the first-floor, saw the wife standing in her night garments on the stairs, and screaming violently. The prisoner, on hearing witness, rushed out, brandishing a fire-shovel, with which he aimed a terrible blow at the officer's head. The constable elevated his arm to ward off the blow, and the weapon descended upo n it with such force that the handle was broken in two places. He then ran into his room and Martin shouted for assistance, his arm having been rendered almost powerless. Jackman, 192 G, then came in, and, upon entering the room, the pri soner lifted a chair, and, with a blow, broke it on Jackman's shoulder. He was finally secured but not without very great difficulty. The Prisoner's wife and the landlord of the house described the prisoner's conduct as extremely ♦iolent. He destroyed a great deal of furniture. The prisoner with an air of great indifference, said he bad been out drinking all night, and did not doubt but that what the police stated was true enough. The MAGISTRATE sentenced him to seven days' imp ison ment in the House of Correction. When he came out be must be bound over to keep the peace towards his wife. Prisoner—There is no necessity for that; I will never live with her again. The 3fAc — isTEATE hoped the Messrs. Reid would be ap prised of the nature- of the charge against the prisoner. Inspector Penny promised to acquaint them. The prisoner was locked up. UNION HALL.---(THIS DAY.) 'Thomas WaHand, described as a begging-letter writer, was charged with the following heartless robbery : The prisoner has been fa- some time known as a professed begging-letter writer by the officers of the Mendicity Society, and in that capacity had introduced himself to the com plainant, an infirm ofd man, who was allowed Bs. a week for his support from some members of his family. The old man having some arrears due, employed the prisoner, being a man of "good address," to go and receive the money. Yesterday the prisoner proceeded for the cash, all of which he converted to his own purposes, and " rigged" himself out in a new suit of clothes, in which he appeared at the bar. Mr. COTTINGHAM characterised the conduct of the prisoner as base in tile extreme to an aged man like the complainant. The Magistrate added that he should deal summarily with the case to prevent the complainant the trouble of attending the sessions to prosecute, and commit the prisoner for two months to hard labour; and at the same time Mr. Cotting ham directed that the prisoner should be divested of the new suit of clothes, which were to be given up to the complain ant, as they were purchased with his money. THE WILLS FORGERIES. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Shortly after ten o'clock Mr. Justice Williams took his seat on the bench, when the prisoners William Barber, Joshua Fletcher, William Saundirs, Lydia Saund ers , and deorgiana Dorey, were placed at the bar. ACthe instance of the Court, the witness Christmas was called, and re-examined--In the autumn of 1842 I told Fletcher that. there were unclaimed dividends on 3,500/. standing in the name of Slack. I did not mention it to any body else. The witness Wheeler was also recalled, at the request of Mr. Wilkins, and said, that the prisoner Fletcher kept €1 account at the Bank of England, from 1839 up to the time of his apprehension. Mr. JAMES, Counsel for Mrs. Dorey, said, that Mrs. Dorey now wished to withdraw her plea of Not Guilty, and to plead Guilty. PerhapC he was not exceeding his duty, in asking the jury to recommend her to mercy. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he could not interfere with the jury. He was sure they would do what was right, and that the verdict in the first case would not influence them. The plea of Not Guilty was then withdrawn on the part'of Mrs. Dorey, and a plea of Guilty was entered. Mr. GREAVES then rose to address the Court on behalf of Fletcher. He contended that, in point of law, there was no proof of any joint acts here, and that his client ought to have a verdict of not guilty on this ground. The Learned Gentleman quoted the case of the King v. Messingham in proof of his position. Where there were separate acts they must be proved separately, and a joint procurement must be proved where there was a joint charge, Mr. BALLAMTINE followed on the same side. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS could not stop the case. The pleading guilty of one of the prisoners did not vary the ease. It seemed to him that the argument came to this, that unless the whole of the parties were present at the uttering of the forged will. there could be no procurement or incitement, Mr. STONE said he did not think there was any evidence against the prisoner Saunders to go to the Jury. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he was of opinion there was some evidence for the jury. Mr. WILKINS then addressed the jury on behalf of Barber. He said, it appeared to him from the state of the Court, that the interest in this case was unabated. After passing a com pliment to the jury for the attention which they devoted to this most important case, and to the ability and skill of the Learned Gentlemen who prosecuted in this case, he said that he asked for nothing for his client but justice. He was thoroughly convinced of the innocence of his client, and he therefore did not appeal to their mercy. He was glad, for the sake of Mr. Barber, that his Lordship refused the appli cation made on behalf of the other prisoner, for if it were granted it would delay the time at which his client was to be restored, if not to his former station and position, at least to the smile of friendship. His Learned Friend had stated this case with great fairness, and he trusted he would con- tinue to conduct it to the end in the same way. Th:i - e Were six counts in the indictment,which must fall to the ground as far as his client was concerned. Ho had been charged with forging the will, but not a tittle i f evidence was ad duced to establish that fact. If Mr. Barber had been guilty of an immoral offence he ought to be punshed, but if he did nothing inconsistent with his dutyAs an honest attorney, he was sure the jury would ngt hesitate in acquitting him. His Learned Friend, clad tOld them how unclaimed dividends were to be transferred, but he did not say how difficult it was to have this effected jthat each case 4f1,5 tce stricq , ? •-•• ... investigated by skilful solicitors, who (he said it in their own hearing) followed his client, Mr. Barber, with a desire for conviction, which he could not account for on any other supposition than that they wished to make some amends for their own neglect of duty. He believed they were more anxious for the conviction of Barber, than for the conviction of all the other prisoners together; but in spite of their emissaries, and spies, and tamperings, he was sure the jury would send him from the dock as stainless as any one of them, though he might not have a bed to lie on, or a penny in his pocket. Why was not the confession of Mrs. Dorey brought forward? The jury would draw their o wn conc l us i on f rom this fact. His Learned Friend said that the will in this case was suspicious, that it bore suspicion on th e f ace o f it. Was it, indeed? Was it not before Mr. Freshfield, who had so much experience in those matters ; and he did not suspect it to be fictitious. It was before Doctors'-commons and there they had no suspicion of its being forged. Why then was Mr. Barber to find out that the will was forged ; on the contrary he had less reason to think it forged than the others ; he had not so much interest in the matter as Mr. Freshfield. He would be able to show to them that greater pains were taken to impose on Mr. Bar ber than on the proctors or Mr. Freshfield. Fletcher intro duced a lady whom he called Miss Slack to him ; she was in appearance a respectable woman, and was dressed in mourn ing. Mr. Barber went to Mr. Wills, the proctor, and ap peared everywhere in the most open manner in the character of an attorney in connection with this will, and not a single lie, not a single attempt to deceive was proved against him. He acted in the most open and honourable manner. There was a great difference in viewing transactions after an accu sation was brought and before it was brought. When once an accusation was brought every person wondered that sus picions were not excited before. Mr. Fletcher was a member of a respectable profession. He was a rich man. Mr. Barber was his attorney for many years, and in this case he did not do a single act which was not necessary to be done as an attorney, and in the most open manner. He did many things openly which he might have concealed if he wished. He was the attorney of Fletcher, and nothing more. He was never seen communicating with Fletcher; he was never at his house, nor was Fletcher at his. It did not appear that Mr. Barber had the least acquaintance with Mrs. Dorey, or Mrs. Saunders, or Mr. Christmas. He thought it was clear that the statement made by Mr. Barber was made in conse quence of the representations made to him. It was evident that this was the case when he said that there was an entry of the death of Anne Slack at Somerset House. There was no such entry at Somerset-house ; and was it possible to con ceive that he would have told such a lie to Captain Foskett when it could be so easily detected if he believed it to be a lie ?: It was clear that be got the information from others, and believing it to be true, he stated it to be the fact. He communicated with Captain Foskett and gave him every assistance that he ought to give. The let ters which were signed by Mr. Barber to Captain Foskett were ,written by his clerk, and only signed by Mr. Barber. Was this the conduct of a man who was playing kknavish part? It was said that Barber wanted the signature of Miss Slack, in order to forge ir. How could that be so, when the signature to the will was quite different from the signature of Miss Slack? There was next the forging of the registry. This was not necessary at Doctors' Commons, nor at the Bank, nor to obtain the probate of the will. The only object for which it could be forged was to deceive Mr. Barber. He put an advertisement in the Times newspaper, asking for the legal representatives of Miss Slack. Was it probable that a person implicated in a wicked conspiracy, as Mr- Barber was said to be, should take such a mode of effecting his object as to put an advertisement in a paper so widely circulated as the Times? Throughout the whole of the case Mr. Barber ap peared in the most open manner as an attorney. He had told them that Mr. Barber, if acquitted, would leave the dock penniless. Others had their thousands, but it did not appear that he had put a sixpence into his banker's hands.. They made inquiries as to the money the others had in the bank; they did not allege that Mr. Barber had any money. It was not proved that a single 51. note or a 101. made its way into Mr. Barber's pocket. He (Mr. Wilkins) had been called a daring evidence. If he was so called, because he did not respect persons or circumstances when the interest of his client was concerned, he was con tent to be so called. He did not care that he had such a man as Mr. Freshfield as an opponent, and he did not hesi tate to- say that Mr. Freshfield had given evidence that would follow him with disgrace to the grave. He came prepared with a well digested statement to procure the conviction of a man who stood a few months ago as high in the profession as he did. When he pressed Mr. Freshfield he owned that he wilfully suppressed a portion of the evi dente. What object could he have in doing this but to hunt Mr. Barber to perdition, and to do this by the suppression of evidence that would have been in his favour? It was evi dent that Mr. Freshfield did not believe Mr. Barber to be guilty, for if he did he had Forrester at his elbow. His Learned Friend said that the issue must be whether there was any guilty knowledge. There let it be. He was willing to test the issue on that ground. And what proofwas there that his client had any guilty knowledge in this case ? Not the least. They could not look through the windows of the souls of men, and see what was passing there. They must judge of men and their motives by their actions, and he begged of them to judge of Mr. Barber by this test. They had been told to temper jus tice with mercy. He did not want to depreciate the value of the attribute of mercy, for he knew how much they all stood in need of it. But here he took higher ground. He would not condescend to steal a verdict from their pity, and to send his client from the dock with his path clouded with suspicions of a questionable acquittal. No ; he asked fot justice at their hands : and if he were in any way instru mental in restoring his client to society, he should feel amply repaid for the anxiety and trouble he endured on his ac count, and with his latest breath he would thank his God that he had been instrumental in rescuing him from destruction. The Learned Gentleman then went over the evidence, commenting on it as he went along, and showing that there was nothing to throw the least suspicion on Barber. He was a shrewd man ; and if it was his intention to put the stock in the name of Miss Slack in his own pocket he would have acted in a manner very different from the way in which he had acted. Mr. Barber was not a party to Miss Slack being brought for ward, but Captain Foskett was, for he said he would not re commend Miss Slack being made a party to the inquiry then going on, and if he had acted -otherwise Miss Slack would be in possession of her money, and this case would never have come before them. The conduct of Mr. Barber was perfeetly open.—The Learned Gentleman ,was proceeding when our Reporter left. LLOYD'S SIIIPPIIYG.-( THIS DAY.) LONDON, APRIL 18.—Light northerly breeze, and cloudy.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT,) The hopes of Mr. Robert Henry Hurst (who reminds , one much of the Vicar of Bray), of a cheap election, would seem, on their third day of ripeness, like Wolsey's ambition, to be most aggravatingly thwarted. On Wednesday night those untiring champions of free trade, Mr. Sidney-Smith, of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association, and Mr. Falvey, of Manchester, addressed a crowded audience at the Richmond Arms Assembly-rooms, and were most enthusiastically received. If the free-traders of Horsham should be backward with a candidate, the League will probably supply the deficiency, when the " independent electors " may be favoured with a translated edition of Mr. Hurst's speech, by the hand of the author, EXETER: ELECTION, EXETER, APRIL 17.—The writ for the election of a Member for this city, in room of Sir W. Follett, arrived here yesterday, and wasyroclairned at the Guildhall at ten o'clock, by the ender-Sheriff, The nomination is fixed for Saturday. Sir W. Follett not being well enough to be present, is repre sented by hia brother, Mr. R. B. Follett, who arrived hers to-day. CORN AVERAGES.
