In support of the motion, Mr. Sergeant Channell produced the affidavit of the Earl of Cardigan, denying most distinctly that he had been guilty of the imputations charged in the letter of :Lord William Paget, or that he had ever given authority to any person on his behalf to interfere with any of the witnesses subpoenaed to ap pear on the part of the plaintiff. There were similar affidavits from Mr. Powell, the solicitor of the Earl of Cardigan, and his chief clerk. The Court granted the rule. At Worship-street, John Davis, alias James Blythe, Henry Robinson, and George Hirt, were brought before Mr. Bingham for the completion of the former charges, and to answer a fresh charge of burglary committed in the warehouse of Messrs. Wood and Co., warehousemen, in Red Lion-court, Watling-street. There are now five distinct, extensive, and cleverly executed burglaries clearly established against the prisoners. They were fully committed to Newgate for trial ; Hirt on One charge of receiving, and Robinson upon three, and Davis upon five charges of burglary. Samuel Glass, conductor of Prices omnibus, running from Chelsea to Islington, was charged before Mr. Rawlinson, at Marylebone, with having conducted him self in a shameful and outrageous manner towards Mr. David Landsberg, a gentleman residing at 131, George place, St. John-street-road, Clerkenwell. Mr. Rawlin son sentenced the defendant to two months' imprison ment with hard labourWllie House of Correction. In the Court of Excise Samuel Massey Gilbert, keeper of refreshment-rooms, No. 6, New Basing hall-street, City, was charged with selling spirits without a license. There were four informations against the defendant, and the penalties were laid at 4001. The Court commented on the injustice done to the licensed victualler by the proceedings of the defendant, and inflicted two fines of 101. each. Two other informa tions were withdrawn. At Marlborough-street, Thomas Sergeant, a person holding a confidential situation in the employ of Messrs. Tucker and Co., the extensive tallow and wax chandlers, in South Molton-street, was brought before Mr. Hard wick for final examination, charged with having carried on a system of embezzlement for a considerable period. It was arranged, with consent of counsel on both sides, that the prisoner should be fully committed on all the charges, but should be remanded pro forma for a day or two before the sessions commenced, in order to afford him additional facilities for meeting his trial.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION. at ONE CHARGE. PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE POST-OFFICE. The Lords of her Majesty's Treasury having decided, in accordance with the recommendations of the Select Committee on Postage, to increase the public accommo dation by an extensive change in the administration of the Post.office department of the public service, have intimated their intention of devoting the whole of the surplus revenue in carrying out the remaining details of the penny postage measure. Accordingly Lord Viscount Lowther, acting in con formity with these instructions, has caused to be estab lished a permanent Board, consisting of the heads of the executive departments, for the purpose of arranging the working of the plan. The following, we are informed, are among the prin cipal propositions recommended for adoption as speedily as possible : Prepayment in cases of all inland correspondence by the medium of stamps ; the institution of the more fre 'quent dispatch and delivery of London district post letters, and the abridgment of the letter-carriers' walks, so as to facilitate both, and an increase in the number of officers tantamount to the projected extension of the duties of the office. These preliminary measures, we hear, are to come into operation early in the spring. The April quarter is named, but the period is not yet definitively fixed. Other, and still more important alterations have been suggested, and will form part of ,th racticeiVebh 41, the introductory portion above 5 betChaftnv duced, the; chief of which, we understand, are the fol lowing The separation of the inland from the foreign corre spondence, so us to secure simplicity in all the working arrangements, by obtaining a uniform and rapid deli very of all inland letters inward; the eventual consoli dation of the two corps of letter-carriers--general and twopenny t the establishment of additional receiving houses in the metropolis ; the increase of arrivals from the provinces by the morning mails, and the establishment of post-offices throughout the United Kingdom in pro portion to the density of the letter-writing population. As it is manifest that the extensive alterations above enumerated are calculated materially to affect the in comes of all officers connected with the department, whose salaries depend, in a great measure, upon their realisation of fees :and gratuities from the public, for what is called the " early delivery," we are informed that it is in contemplation to substitute fixed salaries in lieu of the present sliding scale of wages, proportioned to the length of service and amount of duty performed by each officer. It is estimated by Colonel Maberly that the carrying out of this proposition alone will in volve an additional outlay of 4,5001. per annum, and that the adoption of the whole of the projected altera tions will absorb the whole of the present net revenue. [lt to high time certainly to project improvements in the Post-office. We will give only one instance of mis- management, to show how sluggish the authorities are, though all around them are moving at railroad speed. An inland mail, bringing letters from Ireland to any part of England, reaches London about one o'clock, r.M. The letter remains at St. Martin's-le-Grand till three ; those for the West-end aro transmitted to Charing-cross Post-office, where they remain another hour, and are not delivered till half-past tour, thus occupying three hours and a half in the delivery, or about the time re quired to convey them 100 miles by railroad.—wED. #Sitn.l FATAL FALL.--.SINGULAR TREATMENT OP THE SUTFXSZA.—Yesterday, Mr. Payne held an inquest at the parish school-room, St. Mary Axe, en the body of Mrs. Elisabeth Moore Murdock Wallis, aged 22, wife of Mr. William Wallis, bill-broker, or No. 40, in the above street. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased was subject to fits, and that on Monday night last, whilst ascending the kitchen otairs, she fell down and fractured the base of her skull. The cook and the groom immediately ran to her assistance, and carried her up stairs to. bed. Her temples were bathed with vinegar, but she remained senseless, and was not heard to speak from the time that she fell. Neither the deceased's husband ner Miss Rampling, a young lady then on • visit, thought it necessary to send for medical assistance, and allowed the deceased to remain in bed in the same state until the following morning at eight o'clock. Mr. Brown, surgeon, was then sent for, but deceased was be yond recovery, and died in three hours. Mr. Wallis, the deceased's husband, was sent for by the Coroner, in order that he might explain :his reason for not procuring earlier medical aid. Vpon his arrival he , Airthgt his wife frequently reco vered ken her fits without the assistance of a surgeon. He spoke to ber_trige tourseftlfenight, but she gave him no answer. He, however, di not 'think that there was any dan. ger. Ho considered she was suffering from a fit, and not from the effeeta of the fall. One of the witnesses said that the de. ceased bled from the ear, and the Coroner remarked that such clear proof of injury to the skull should have shown the impor tance of instant medical relief. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidontal death," and added, that they felt much surprise and regret that a surgeon should not have been called within nine hours after the accident. _ _ AIBTROPOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM.... The usual half-yearly meeting of the members of the above excellent Institution, was held last night, Cat the London Me. chanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings. The chair was taken by Richard Ramadan, Esq., who presided in an admirable manner, and to the great delight and satisfaction of the audience. The Secretary read the Report, which was of the most cheer. ing description. It announced a considerable increase in the amount of receipts during the last year, and the prospect of a speedy extinction of the debt, which had already been reduced more thi one-half. It described in glowing terms, the cora• fort and protection enjoyed at the Asylum in Ball's•pond by the numerous inmates, and announced that the time was fast ap. preaching when the two wings might be added to the Asylum. After some excellent speeches from the Chairman, Mr. gowles (the for.nder), and other gentlemen, the Report was unani mously adopted. The Committee for the next year was then appointed, and the auditors were also nominated. The whole conclnncciioodd with what was, doubtless, the most interesting part of the roceedings, namely, the announcement of the result of the (which, we ought to have mentioned, had gone on for two tours previous to the presentation of the Report) for the elecesa of three inmates of the Asylum. The scrutineers announced the number of votes which each of the candidates (34 in number), had received, and the result was, that the election had fallen on Jahn Frembly, 3,716 votes ; William W ells, 2,883 votes; and John Chamness, 1,703 votes. The successful candidates (with the exception of the last, who was bedridden) presented themselves on the platform, and expressed their v--tn acknowledgments. They both seemed very re speet&i..kand very venerable old men, and were greatly cheered. WlNDsolt AND ETON CHURCH UN10N....

Matilda of 8, Vere-street, Clare-market, deposed that the de• was her sister. Her (deceased's) husband was Mr. Bregan Donelley, of the firm of Noble and Co., of 6, er.square, City. He had separated from her four times consequence of her excessively 'dissipated habits. On the It time, which:was.the 4th of December, she was very tipsy, he kissed her, saying, " Betsey,:if you don't alter, Kshall as away with myself." From that time he has never been _eni or heard of, and it is feared he has committed suicide. The next day he sent her a sovereign, but when that was ex- Nended she came to live with witness, as she was utterly desti te. She had pawned everything she had, and on the day she troyed her life sold her stays to purchase spirits. On that ning she had obtained an order from the Strand Union to into the workhouse, while they sought for her husband. the following morning she heard that the body of the de .3(l had been taken out of the river, and she had no doubt did it under great excitement, produced by drink and her ad of the workhouse. After a short deliberation the jury rned a verdict, ,6 That the deceased destroyed herself while state of temporary insanity, produced by excessive drinking." TASTE FOR WINE.—We see from a return which has just been handed to us by a friend, that the consumption of Madeira wine is rapidly . increasing in this country. The quantity which paid duty in 1543 was 68,906 gallons, against 51,513 in 1842, showing an increase of 17,393 gallons in a year, in which the consumption of most other kinds of wine decreased. If the Portuguese Ministers possessed common sense(which, however, is a very uncommonpossession amongst Ministers of State) they would have availed themselves of this change in the public taste to the utmost, by agreeing to a commercial treaty which would have given them the command of the British market for the wines of Portugal and its posses ' sions....Lieerpool Times.

THE GENERAL CITY OF LONDON PENSION SO CIETY.--A festivity yesterday was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, emanating from the Direc tors, Committee, and supporters of the Society, for the purpose of presenting to their secretary, Mr. H. F. Richardson, a testimonial in honour of and to record his services on behalf of the charity. About 40 gen tlemen, including the principal officers of the charity, partook of a most sumptuous entertainment, provided by . Messrs. Bathe and Breach. The bill of fare was ad mirable, and the wines perfection. The testimonial, which was presented in due form and appropriate terms, consisted of a magnificent and richly-chased centre ornament, the base of which was in burnished silver. From the base, supported by the trunk of the acanthus, rested the figure of Charity, with her attri butes. Surmounted by these rested a vase bearing the exotics which art had, at this season, brought to a sem blance of perfection. The base of the pedestal was comprised of three compartments. In the first were engraved the armorial bearings of the individual ho noured, Mr. H. F. Richardson ; in the second was a highly complimentary inscription ; and in the last com partment of the tripod was a memorial of the presen tation, and the names of the committee and subscribers. Mr. H. F. Richardson, on the presentation of the tes timonial, acknowledged the compliment in feeling and appropriate terms. The evening was spent in the utmost hilarity and good feeling, both of the latter being ma terially aided by %he vocal efforts of NOM. 13131t0n and Marti% AND Pubitt Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Monday evening the King of the French received Prince Paul of Wurtemberg, the Belgian Ambassador, and the Princess de Ligne, the Prussian, Danish, and Saxon Ministers, the Prince and Princess de Wagram, the Duke de Marmier, the Marquis and Marchioness de Dalmatie, the Prince de Tuffakin, the Marquis de Tur got, the Marquis de Langle, the Marquis de St. Didier, and a number of other distinguished personages. The ball, in aid of the British Charitable Fund, is fixed for the 9th of February. At the head of the list of lady patronesses are Lady Cowley, the Marchioness of Londonderry, and Lady Jane Peel. " Yesterday evening, after the Chamber of Deputies' vote," says La Patrie, of Tuesday, " Lord Cowley im mediately dispatched a courier to London, in order to nform Lord Aberdeen of the result of the discussion on M. Billault's amendment. The Cabinet was, according to the result, to:determine what words should be inserted in the Queen's Speech to Parliament, in reply to the entente cordiale announced* his Majesty's Speech to the Chambers." . :4 , " Of nearly 33,000,000 persons in France," says the Re fbrine," there are 27,000,000 who do not drink wine —there are 31,000,000 who never taste sugar—there are 20,000,000 who never wear shoes—there are 31,000,000 who never eat meat—there are 18,000,000 who never eat wheaten bread—and, finally, there are 4,000,000 clothed in rags." Can it be true that only 2,000,000 of French men eat meat ? The Count de Bastard, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Chamber of Peers, and a President of the Court of Cessation, died at Paris on Tuesday. The Univers states that the Bishop of Versailles is to succeed to the Archbishopric of Rouen, rendered vacant by the death of the Prince de Croi. A letter from Vienna, Jan. 15, in the Wurzburgh Gazette, says :—" The French envoys and ministers have been ordered to quit the residence of the Courts where they are accredited, as soon as they shall be informed of the arrival of the Duke de Bordeaux, and to give notice at once of this instruction to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs." The Dowager Princess of ilohenlohe died on the 10th inst., at the Chateau de Kapferzell, in Germany. The severe measures adopted by the Russian Govern ' ment relative to Catholic establishments in Poland and Lithuania will be put into execution in the month of May. All the property of the chapters, parishes, and churches are to be confiscated to the treasury. The Catholic clergy are to be paid by the State, and, in con sequence, their independence will completely disappear. The Italian Savans will hold their sixth congress this year at Milan, and the day of meeting is fixed. for Sep tember 12. Count Boromeo is President, M. Gabrio Piola, the mathematician, C. Bassi, the naturalist, Assessors, and Cesar Cantu, the historian, Secretary- General. The Commission appointed at Lyons, to deliberate on the works most urgently required to aid the navigation of the Rhone, has just decided that an annual sum shall be laid aside for the works in the following proportion : —3,000,000 f. for the part between Lyons and Arles, and 500,000 f. for the Upper Rhone. This grant is to be continued until the navigation shall be pronounced per fectly easy and safe. A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Augsburgh Gazette, states that the Emperor of Russia has definitively ad hered to the resolutions of the Conference of London on the affairs of Greece. Mr. Samuel Clegg, the inventor of the Atmospheric Railroad, has arrived at Berlin, where he has been in vited by the Prussian Government, to direct the con struction of an atmospheric railroad from the capital to Charlottenburg. PUBLIC OPINIO N . The Chronicle, alluding to the An Corn-law League meeting last night, observes :—" eague professes to be non-political ; free trade, they say, is of no party; and the abolition of all monopolies by the Tories would be received with as much enthusiasm as if it were ac complished by the 'Whigs. Yet, when Mr. Bouverie, last night, ran a parallel between Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Alderman Gibbs, shouts of laughter burst from every quarter ; which were repeated when Mr. Burnett caned him a " man of all worlr," and recommended the free traders to make as much use of him as they could. How is this? We always understood that Sir R. Peel was regarded, in the City, as an exceedingly respectable man, and not to be named in conjunction with such a functionary as Mr. Alderman Gibbs. Yet how eagerly was the Peel and Gibbs association caught up by the free traders last night. There must be a great change for the worse passing over English society. The middle classes of this country have been hitherto re garded as shrewd, intelligent, practical, and discerning ; not to be imposed on for any length of time; and though occasionally liable to be led astray by some sudden im pulse, always recovering their senses at last. Yet here they are, blindly following the nefarious gang of " raga muffin" cotton-spinners, who are banded together in order to destroy British agriculture, ruin the landed inte rest, beggar the tenant-farmer, and starve the comfortable agricultural labourer! For this purpose the commercial and manufacturing community gave the League 50,000/. a year ago, and are now engaged in rapidly doubling the a mount. The:Tintes remarks, in an article on the subject of na tional education:—" The rejection of the Ministerial Education i Bill of last session appears to be de veloping into results more and more unlooked for and uncounted upon. Few persons, we suppose, anticipated that in the defeat of that measure there would have originated, on the part of the national Church an effort whose vigour and suc cess has given proof of the existence in that body of greater vitality, more real earnestness, and more power ful energy, than at any period of her history since the rebellion of 1640. We have already noticed the pro gress of the educational movement, which was thus commenced within the Church, and have expressed our satisfaction at 'the testimony which it bears to the general character of the cause of sound education throughout the country. It has shown at least that zeal for the cause of the poor—zeal for the great cause of Christianity—the zeal of dispelling the darkness of ignorance, and alleviating, by destroying it, the misery of vicc—is still to be found within the pale of the Church of England, not in empty words, but in deeds of self denial and of mercy—not in the mere selfishness of teaching order and civilisation for the sake of preserving to their possessors those constituted privileges and en joyments whose very being depends upon peace and tranquillity,—but for the poor's sake themselves, for the sake of charity, and for the sake of truth.. It is much, we say, to have done this. No p o litical movement could h av e borne such witness as this.' The Herald says :—" We have been compelled occa sionally to dissent from the views and 'to object to the practices of the Rev. Dr. Hook, the Vicar of Leeds ; but, though our opinion of both is only confirmed by reflection and experience, we cannot forbear joining our Contemporaries in expressions of admiration at his proper conduct in reference to his important vicarage. The Rev. Doctor proposes to restore to Leeds what its population and extent have long substantially deprived it of, the parochial system of the Church of England, at the sacrifice by him self of patronage. Dr. Hook's vicarage now em braces an area of thirty-two miles in circumference, and contains 160,000 inhabitants; from it lie receives the ordinary ecclesiastical dues. In this enormous parish there are twenty churches and chapels, to nearly all of which the Vicar presents. When Dr. Hook was in ducted into this living he found Dissent rampant there in, and the Church despised, disregarded, and forsaken: by his own exertions, by the employment of five or six curates, and by the able assistance of several of the ministers of district churches, the influence and autho rity of the Church have been somewhat restored. This restoration has taken place contemporaneously with Dr. Hook's incumbency, and there can be little doubt that the impetus was given by him. The Tractarian views adopted by Dr. Hook have, however, of late years, checked this movement, have prevented the establish ment of that unanimity amongst the clergy so desirable in a large town like Leeds, and have cooled the, at one time, growing enthusiasm of its churchmen. Still it would be exceedingly uncandid to detract one jot from the merits of Dr. Hook. We quote the following from the Advertiser :—" The Ministers would no doubt be delighted to grant as a boon to the Dublin Corporation that escape of the traversers from amercement, which, if not given by a verdict of the jury, must . be enforced by the irresis tible tide of public opinion. We trust that the tra versers will firmly abide by the position they have taken, and spurn the proffer of, as they have already done the application for, any such degrading clemency. What ! Pray for an act of amnesty for Mr. O'Con at the present stage of the law nell, and the other gentlemen now OR their trial for e r s l i V i l r i a a c t!

Before the Jury, constituted as that jury is, has pronounced whether Mr. O'Connell and the rest of the gentlemen before the bar, be guilty or not guilty ? Before it can be stated that they have com promised themselves in acts of sedition and conspiracy ? Before Government itself dare to condemn them ? Be fore public opinion has ceased to regard them in any other light than, if convicted, as martyrs to the principle of free discussion, the most wrongfully and unjustly dealt with of men—if u nconvicted, as triumphant witness of the virtue of our Bi ll of Ri ghts , and the realit y of human truth ? What ! Pray for an act of amnesty to and his brother compatriots at such a M r !md O'Connell liberty moment, and this by the Dublin Corporation ? Why, well be mystified and con y well be forgiven for owning that we do not s ee through the eni g ma." LAW' A ND . POLICE. lu the cafe Qf latad . itgqiwt the g a d ca .

MISCMIMANZIOUS. It is confidently stated that a new writ for Dudley will be moved for immediately on the opening of the en suing session, and the Anti-Corn-law League are actively preparing for a canvass. A correspondent of the Times says—lt is generally believed that Mr. Sotheron will be solicited to fill the vacancy in the representation of Wiltshire, caused by the death of Sir Francis Burdett. Should he consent to do so, his success is considered certain. Mr. Ludlow Bruges, of Seend, 'near Devizes, is expected to fill the vacancy in that borough in the event of Mr. Sotheron vacating it for the county. The Cour de la Premierelnstance of Paris pronounced a judgment on Saturday last, confirming the patents taken in that country by Messrs. Elkington and De Ruolz for the electro process of depositing the various metals. This, with the verdict of the Cour Royale in July last, confirms the whole of the claims made by our countrymen for these discoveries." Most of the influential gentlemen and farmers in the neighbourhood of Lewes have determined on attending the meeting at Steyning next Monday. As the day ap proaches, the subject of the corn-laws nearly engrosses all conversation.

LIVE WITHIN Tatra. MEANS.—.There is nothing more unfortunate, from whatever cause it proceeds, than excess of expenditure beyond income. The greater part of the harpies of society live and gorge themselves by taking advanta g e of this imprudence.

Dublin Evening Mail. SUBLIME.—The shades of night gathered thickly around ; dark masses hung portentously over the earth ; the wind whistled mournfully over the horizon ; while the deep-toned thunder, in muttering accents, proclaimed the fearful tempest's near approach ; and, as the big drops of rain began slowly to descend, one little pig, with a look and manner not to be mistaken, curled up its tail and ran like the CHINESE JESTS.—A man of letters, who spent a great part of the night in study, kept a kettle on the fire to make tea, as a stumtlus when he should be wearied. One night, hearing a thief breaking In through the wall, he took post by it with the kettle in his hand ; and when the thief had thrust both his legs through the aper ture, the student seized them, and poured the boiling water upon them. The robber roared out for mercy. " Wait," replied the other, coolly, " until I empty the kettle." HEROIC ACT.—Hannah More, in a letter to her sister, in 1762, relates the following interesting incident The other morning the Captain of one of Commodore John son's Dutch prizes breakfasted at Sir Charles Middleton's, and related the following little anecdote:-One day be went out of his own ship to dine on board of another ; while he was there a storm arose, which in a short time made an entire wreck of his own ship, to which it was impossible for him to return. He had left on board two little boys, one four and the other fivo years old, under the care of a poor old black servant. The people struggled to get out of the ship into a large boat, and the poor black took his master's two children, tied them in a bag, and putting in a little pet of sweatmeats for them, slung them across his shoulder, and put them into a boat. The boat by this time was quite full; the black was stepping into it himself, but was told by the master there was no room for Min ; that either be or the child ren must perish, for the weight of both must sink the boat. The exalted heroic negro did not hesitate a moment. • Very well,' said he, • give my duty to my master, and tell him I beg pardon for all my faults,' and then—guess the rest...plunged into the ocean never to rise again , till the sea shal l g ive up her dead. I told it the other day to Lord Itlonboddo, who fairly burst into tears. The greatest lady in this had wants me to make an elegy of it, but it is above poesy.

On Friday night and Saturday morning we had two of those unusually high tides at Yarmouth, which some times make their appearance here at new moon, when the wind is in a peculiarly , favourable quarter. On the beach the water came up beyond the west-end of the jetty, and flowed put sews of the most northerly buildings; while on the Southtown Mae pike, from the Toll-gate south to the Nine-houses on the north, the road was covered with water, to the venous inconvenience of many of the inhabitants, but to the pecuniary advantage of Mr. Clifton, whose Yarmouth and Gorleston omnibus was is constant requisition to convey passengers to and from market.
