them Well. There was not - a man amongst • them ' with whoSe sentiments with respect to' slavery, he Was not well aequitinted. Who was it' that talked so much about vested interests when the subject of the abolition of the slave trade were first brought before the country ? Who was it that employed a man, who was now voting with them in the House of Commons, to go about and attempt to prove that Heaven itself had ordained -the condition of slavery; and had en -entailed on the sons of Ham this curse, and, therefore, it were impious to seek to free them ? Who were the men who employed that man ? Why the very men with whom the' Government were intimately asso ciated. Who Were the men who for years actually prohibited bki heavy duty the introduction of East India free-labour sugar into the markets? Who were the men who shared in the twenty millions which were granted for slave compensation ? Let them turn to the compensation books for their answer to this question. They would there find that the Goulburns and the Gladstones were the men who received that money in the largest proportions. Who, again, were e the men who opposed the late Adminis tration when they brought in a Bill 'to suspend the charter of Jamaica ? Who were the men that did this ? They were the men who now expressed so much sympathy for the slaves in Brazil. These were the men, - too, - who had lately advocated the transportation of -Hill Coolies—a measure which had • ended in disappointment. Who was it that opposed the abolition of flogging female slaves, and who took the tWente , millions and. divided it amongst them selves ? Why, the very parties who now seemed to - have caught the mantle of Wilberforce, and were dividing it amongst them, such affecting svmpathy did they evince for the Brazilian slave. but were they consistent in this ? No, they were not; for, if • they were, - they would apply the • same argu ments which • - they now used with respect to Brazilian sugar to the article of tobacco. • Why did they not apply the same argument to rice which was grown in Carolina, and the cotton which ' was grown in Massachusetts, Lousiana, and Alaba ma ? Why even Brazilian sugar itself, they allowed • to come into England to be refined for the purpose of exportation in 'British bottoms, and in this way-Bra zilian sugar was refined and sent to Jamaica, where the Jamaica • planter used it in preference ' to his own because he could get it at about 4d. per pound, while by sending his own Muscovado sugar to England he could get Bd. per pound for it.—(Cheers.) It would therefore - he seen that encouragement was given to Brazilian • slave-grown 'produce, notwithstanding the expressions of sympathy which came from-this so-lately, changed party. But what did they do with respect to the article of cotton ?' They dill not deal in cotton, and therefore they • cared e very 'little about the slave labour by which it was exclaimed: -For yeftre past he had 'been endeavouring • to turn the - attention of the Government to British India, for the: purpose or calling into life the trade • with that: parrot' the empire in the article of cotton. • He had seen" itliirnself growing on the upper waters of the Jut - One s - and nlong the fertile banks of the Ganges. Ile hail often fancied to himself large crops of eottorebeing &own in these districts, floating down in ships, of '1 ,201) tons burthen, carried to Liverpool, - there utishipeied; 'sent to Manchester, thence to Pais ley to be weavetl, to Ayr to be tamboured; to Glasgow to :be 'bleached; from thence to London, and-from London back again to the hanks of the Ganges ; there to adorn the:form "Of her Whese 'husband had toiled in the field tis produce the raw 'material of which her dress was composed. ' Then with respect to the arts de of tobacco, the Government had no scruples what ever as to the manner in which tobacco was produced. They turned quietly round, and•said, "Young gen tlereen, smoke your cigars, and, old gentlemen, take your snuff; for tobacco is an article - in which we •do not deal, and therefore we take no heed about it." They also said with respect to cotton, " Get cotton wherever you please, and get rice from wherever you please ; but We deaf in corn, and therefore you , will not receive corn froM the banks of the Ohio; we deal in sugar, and therefore you must not receive your sugar from Rio. Touch not sugar, therefore ; touch not corn; touch riot coffee ; touch not timber, for these are commo dities in which we deal, and in which we are inter ested, and: therefore you will only take them froin those • parts of the world which belong to' tie." He denied the right of a small minority to legiehite upon this subject.. They did not represent the nation:" He admitted their right to send lecturers through+t the kingdom ler the purpose of 'getting up petitio to he presented to the House of Commons ; but he le vied their right -to force any man to consume a c - taro article,and to say to him, " unless you consu e . this you shaft go without. Now he (Mr. Thorepso ) thought that . some of his friends had fallen into a singular mistake. He knew some good per sons who were eery anxious to see Brazilian sugar kept out of the:market. He would ask if the mortice poliet minority were sincere in their present profes sions, what sort -of men they must have been before ? —(Cheers and - laughter.) If they were sincere now, they must have repented of former errors. Certain friends of his had repudiated all armed inter vention,- gir the - suppression of slavery. Now, what was the Act - of Parliament which -prevented the in traluction of - Brazilian sugar into the market ? It was ', but a piece of parchment; and would • he ueelees, unless supported by a coast-guard, by Cu .torn-hooes, and by Excise Boards. It never could be kept up without force, and, therefore,•there was- a continual armed force in existence. He would Wee it , to rnen'e consciences as to whether they would eensume'ene kind of sugar in preference to an ether. " This he believed would act more bene ficially in abolishing the slave trade and' slavefy, than our Abolition Sopieties; • and he believed that this' 'was' not a solitary - opinion of his own, but was elipperted by Cropper,llodgson, Fearon, And Adam Stiiiiii Ititn.elf. But what became of the deee trine which was how held by the monopolists, when they came to co nsider other parts of the world. frOin which sugar could be obtained ? 'There were Shim, Ceeltis‘Chi an,. the vast plains . ' of India,. Java, Pulo- Penang.. • Million of acres of land could be culti veted in- these 'parts of . the world for the producgon ei • sugar, :IT an opportunity' were given lof tieing • se. 4s!i , • eecount -of its being •the produce' lof 'is ser'e why pot take sugar 'from :Siam ? Ve believiet that if -All- the countries in 'the world; in Which' sugar could he grown were to be•thrown iiito fair competition That slavery - and the . slave trade waild soon be entirely . at an end. Tie put those pi'. mini broadly before- the me eti ng, f ee li ng confident that they were - worthy of their attention ;! he put the' question' lei them in this way,. because i l the time was note. 'con - ling when they must m a k e up t eir minds either to 'he robbed for another year, and it might be for years' to come, or to break offat oneeithe fetters-which irienticled the trade with respect to sugar: The language of Government ought to be, " N't, e Will act on the hroad principle of truth and justice. It is the voice of Nature which says men should-trade with their fellow-men. It is the voice of God which says nations should-be brethren, and interchange blessings with• each other." • The principle Of free ' intercourse with all the nations of the ear th * as the - on ly ' o ne which was calcblitted to -maintain still further the: in-' dependence which had so long been maintained by this country: • It was this principl e alo ne which would 'continue England - in her present high and palmy itate of civilization, and which alone Wai likely to confer lasting benefits and happiness on her:people. Until:such a principle were recognised by the Government of this' country, so long woul& the manufacturing population be plunged in distress and in abject misery. 'But, as soon as the principle be came recognised,- so soon would the manufacturing , transactions of the country assume a healthy and pros perous aspect, and our artisans would be relieved from the degraded and Miserable condition in. which they wersenow placed. 'Our farmers would be remune rated for their heavy toil, and in a few years' time,' si,. e'the prin c i p l e which he had been humbly i llustrat i ng expanded- and•advanced they would be enabled to see that Englinrel s was herself again, happy in the ene joyment of-'that, 'friendly in tercourse- ' with foreign nations whi c h 'was. based on mutual interests, i and' 'could only in c r e a se the hinger it lasted.

A rich 1 amateur will hang up a Cuyp or a Rembrandt in his studio, i and day after day he will contemplate it with fresh delight. An operatic chef' d'oeuvre produces the same effect, and no lover of music could attend Don Pasquale, performed once more on Tuesday, with any other feeling but that of seeking new sources of p(easure, and of expectation of those choice -bits of singing and acting which our matchless artists bring out with such zest and dramatic spirit. As regards the opera itself, Romani, the first musical. critic and librettist of Italy, and who is besides a poet of no mean pretensions—Romani has given his opinion of Don Pasquale in the following words:—" In its score, more than the wonted fire and spirit of Donizetti are displayed ; there is the same freshness of de sign and colouring which are so remarkable in his most im portant works. It abounds in graceful and original melo dies, well adapted accompaniments, and agreeable harmonic combinations ; add to all this some exquisite duets, a mag nificent' finale, a delicious serenade, one single chorus, but that of an entirely new creation ; in a word, a happy blending of the parlante cantante styles, which forms the type of all real and successful opera buffs." Romani's opinion was free from the influence which ours must undergo. He never witnessed the opera, as performed by the first artists of Europe, on our Anglo-Italian stage ; but he saw it at Turin, where the theatre: ranks after La Scala, San Carlos, and La Fenice, whilst all Italy feels the paucity of artists. Now we have seen this opera performed by Lablache. We could never think it endurable with any other Don Pasquale. Lablache's superiority as a comic actor arises from the cir cumstance that although a man naturally of a grave and re flective turn of mind, he was compelled, at the first steps of his career, to begin with a small theatre, the Carlin at Naples, where comic operas are the staple commodity. There are many species of national Buffi—such as the Buffo Tescano, Buffo Neapolitan°, &c., and it was the latter, the most origi nal and most mercurial of all, which fell to the lot of Lablache. Amongst the most agreeable revivals on the point of taking place, is that of Giselle, which is to be produced on Thursday. This ballet, the dances, story, and scenery of which is so beautiful, is the triumph of Carlotta Grisi, whose aerial style of dancing enables her to produce so much illusion in the moonlight dance of the spirits. With this ballet Semirantide will be restored to us, and in fact we are reminded by the exertions of the management of the concentration in town of that beau monde, the most essential to please, since they are the yearly patrons of this establishment.

COMPANIES.—We haVe heard that Government are taking active measures touching the complaints of the inhabitants of the southern districts of London of the impure and dear water with which they are supplied. An eminent engineer has already been called before the Commissioners for the Health of Large Millis, and examined as to the practicability of obtaining the water from one of the smaller rivers. ; and evidence has been given before the same Committee as to the practicability of filtering any quantity of water in a given number of hoot s. A Noble Marquis has also promised the Lambeth petitioner s to keep the subject before Parliament until the existing evils are entirely removed.—Standard. [We have reason to believe that the engineer referred' to by our Contemporary is Mt. Easton, who is executing for Government the fountains in Trafalgar-square. The system of filtration is . that of Mr. Stuckey, a description of which appeared in The Sea of last Friday, and the Noble Marquis is the Marquis of Normanby. ll The following is from a correspondent, flat& Munich; April 4 :—" Munich has suffered in an unusual ue. •gree this Winter from typhus and scarlet fever, which has been fatal in most cases to children. The Prince of Saxe Allen burgh, the Queen's brother, has lost two, and many of the first families have been put in mourning by this awful viSita tion. A large school in the suburbs returned all its inmates to their parents, and the influenza has followed close 'llion this scourge, and much earlier than the usual period of its appearance." LEAGUE TRIUMPH AT HuNTlNGDON.—Saturday night, one of the largest and most intelligent public meet ings ever witnessed in the town of Huntingdon met at the discussion of the corn-laws, in the large room of the Hun tingdon Institution, between Dr. Sleigh; on the. part of the Huntingdonshire Agricultural Protection Society, and James Acland, Esq., one of the lecturers of the Anti-Corn-law League. Being the 'Weekly market-day, the town was crowded by farmers and others from a distance, who, from the probability' of a speedy election for the borough, have been lately visited by the agents both of the League- and Anti-League. Each party selected a chairman, and the twe chairmen chose an umpire. Downes Martin, Esq., presided for the League, and David Veasey, Esq . ., for the PrOtsc tionists ; Dennis Herbert, Esq., the Mayor, was - appointed umpire. The discussion was commenced at four o'clock bv Dr. Sleigh, whO spoke for an hour ; then Mr. Acland for the same period. At six o'clock, the time allowed to each disputant, by -the mutual -arrangements which had Lettr made, was limited to half an hour; and from eight to halt - past eight each had a quarter of an hour. At half-past eight the discussion closed, and a division took place, when the large assembly; by a majority Of nearly, if not quite, twc one, voted—" That not only is the principle of protective eorn-laws unjust, but their abolition is indispensibly necessary to ths best interests of all classes in the kingdom !" . This. decision was received with tremendous cheers, greatly t% the chagrin of the' hitherto dominant' faction of the tows: trm! counts, who, from the great number of farmers prennt looked for a different result. . Tlra SURREY DISPENSARY.—The friends ands. up porters cif thisexcellent institution assembled on Tuesday In large nuinbersat the Bridge Hotel, Setithwark,lo celel rpti the usual 'anniversary festival Which for Many years past har ' been given, -for the-purpose of affording the charitably posed an opportunity of making an additional contributit ti It the funds of the institution. The Duke of. Cambridge, }x,lo - presided last year at the Surrey Dispensary festival, protrisa to take the chair last evening; but in the 'absence Royal Highness, the- chair was- taken by Mr..Holme . Sun -, ::cr. High Sheriff for the county; - who was supported by Ni. Kemble, M.P., Mr. Antrobus, M.P., and several , i genticito. of high standing in the county of Surrey.. On the reinoTs of the cloth, Mr. Sumner said that he had received a !diem from the secretary of the Duke of. Cambridge, who had la et , directed by Iris Royal Higlineas to forward a cheqm hi 20 guineas, and to express his regret at his being prevente 1 from attending at the dinner. Mr. Kemble proposed c health of the Chairman" who briefly returned thanks. and proposed " The health of the Members for the county.' Cs the report, it appeared that the 'excess of expenditure t.vrr the income of the preceding year, amounted to 5011., l ut was hoped that the contributions would not only covet tie it deficit, but leave a surplus fund at -the disposal of the liia perisary, in order to meet the increasing demands upon iti valuable assistance. • During the past year the increase patients over the preceding year, amounted to 1,152, ant tltc number of patients who received relief during the past yea; amounted to 7,137. We are glad to hear that: tonnage. is in brisk 'de mand at * Liverpool. The desirable change is attributrA to the success of the guano trade. The import of this 11( VI article of commerce has givena large amount of employment to "shipping, ' which promises to continue and to increase. Whole cargoes of the article are readily sold on arrival. and it cannot be obtained in sufficient quantity to supply the market. Shipping is said to have advanced within the last month ten per cent. —Shipping Gazette. - ... a. "TIN (*Ol7 11 - LINING COMPANY. —On Tuesday the annual meeting of this Company was held at the office o Mt. Stainshy, No. 44, Finsbury-square. The chair. having been taken by Joseph Grout, Esq., the of the Direc tors was read by Mr. Stainsby, from which it appeared tbat the stability of the mine in yielding an abundance' of ore was now fully proved, and that to an extent beyond expects. tion. The totabdebit for the year Was 21,3171. 7s. 3d. The balance in hand, in April, 1843, was 3,017/. ; the copper ti or ie e -sold in the year amounted-to 24,092/., the tin 4,059!., and ars e n i c t o 661., which, after the reduction of the above debit left a balance of 9,415/. 90. 10d.,; from this the various dirt. dends being deducted, there remained an actual balance o• 6641. 4s. 11d. The mine was free from inetunbrance of an) description. It was proposed 'to abolish a regulation tot keeping•up a reserve fund, which the Directors thought. from the profitable state of the mine, was rendered quite unnecessary for their protection, and if rescinded (the amount now being 1,5000, would admit of another dividend i over and above - every liability. The - report a_dopted una nimously after a discussion, in which Mr. P. Jithason. Mr. Smith, Mr. Birdsey, Mr. Lisette, and others, took _part when thanks were voted to - the Directors and to Captain Paul. the manager, and the meeting separated. • The Town Council of Inverness, at their meeting, on Tuesday, by a majority of one, resolved not to send a representative to the ensuing. General Assembly. We are led to believe that it' is probable 'that her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accomPenied by the Royal F am il y , will pay - a v i s i t t o t h e Isle of Wight, e9[nirse of the mon th o f May, for two or three . a correiCtat estmat!e heri 'N weeks in order tMajesty conveniencesayhav eancpp:f Osbornertunityof forouiseng, ,and of the salubrity of it s situation, previously . to a morelengthened so rn jouof the C our t in the months o August and September next. pt BRIGHTON,aiu rDrew, wtßhirbeflt6—The ship Northumberland.

Coming from sea with a northerly or N.W. wind, it is desirable to make Heligoland before running in for the river. There is a light-vessel and also a red buoy at the mouth of the Elbe, the former 17, the latter 19 miles S.E. by S. from Heligoland. The light vessel has three masts; she is painted red, with 'Elbe' in white letters on her side. She carries a red flag at the main by day, and from sunset to sunrise a singl fixed light about 30 feet above the level of the sea, and she in 11 fathoms at low water. Neuwerk High Tower, Scher horn Beacon, and red buoy in a line, bearing S.E. by S., the Saitter two miles distant coming from Heligoland with the first of the flood. The course is S.S.E. to the light-vessel; with half-flood, S.E. by S., and with the first of the ebb S.E. You will then shoal on the water gradually from 20 to 10 or 9 fathoms, with the blue mud very sticky. " 2. The tail of the Vogel stretches across the river in this direction, and you have more water after cross ing it, and on getting nearer to the station of the light ship. When the light-vessel bears S.E. by S. six miles you will have 9 to 10 fathoms eery dark sand and mud; when bearing S.E. or S.E. by E. at the same distance, the bottom is blue mud, and occasionally mussel shells. The pilot galliot when weather permits lays E.S.E, 2 miles from the light ship, E. by N. one mile from the red buoy in ten fathoms water. She is distinguished by a large red vane, and as long as there are any pilots on board, she has the Hamburg Admiralty flag flying by clay, and a light by night when ships are coming in. Ships entering the . Elbe are required to hoist the usual signal for pilot at the fore by day, ad to show a light by night, when -approaching the pilot galliot, and to heave to in sufficient time to enable the boat to come along side, as near the galliot as practicable. "2. In bad weather, when it. is not practicable to board vessels at her proper station, the pilot galliot re moves to her inner station nearer to Neuwerk. In such cases, ships will do well to attend to the following direc tions :—Pass to the northward of the cuter light vessel, then steer E.N.E., until the inner light vessel bears S.E. or S.E.fE., then steer direct for her leaving her on the larboard side, then steer S.S.E. or S.E. by S. till you can get close to the black buoy E., where, if you do not find the pilot galliot, you may anchor in six fathoms. The buoys will be found to be a very good guide ; in going in, leave the black on the starboard and the white on the larboard side. The white on the north side of the channel are nun, buoys, the black on the south side are can buoys. " 3. Coming in at night, when Neuwerk high light comes above the horizon from the deck, you will then be about eight miles from the red buoy ; bring it to bear S.E. by S., and steer for it; when the low light at Neuwerk is seen you will not be far from the outer light vessel; pass to the northward of her, and steer E.S.E., till the inner light vessel bears S.E. E. .This vesis4_ has two masts, shows two fixed lights, one over the other, eighteen feet apart, is painted red, with.' Elba' in white letters on her side, and carries, during the day, a horizontally divided blue and white flag at the main. When you have brought her to bear S.E. S. , steer directly for her, leave her on your larboard side, and bring her to bear (directly after passing her) N.N.W., then steer S.S.E., care being taken to keep the light ship N.N.W., and keeping a good lead going. You will shoal regularly from 13 to 6 and 6- fathoms, when you will be close to the black buoy 6, Neuwerk light bearieig S. by W: Take notice, however, that before gettiniso far as this you may possibly have one cast of 6 futhoina on the tail of the sand-reef, which Stretches. into the channel; it is very narrow, and you deepen in 7,8, and 9 fathoms again. When you can make sure of having got soundings on the S. side of the channel. near the black buoy, in 5i fathoms, steer off to the N.E. into 6 or 7 fathoms, and anchor immediately. The channel is narrow here, and this is the inner station of the pilot galliot, which carries a light by night, and will supply vessels with pilots, that show a light even at night, wind and weather permitting. " 4. It is advisable, with the wind to the southward of west, as soon as you have sounded on Borkum Reef, to steer easterly along the south shore, in 14 to 15 fathoms, till•you reach midway between Heligoland and Wange roog. You are then east-south-east, about 16 miles from the red buoy ; steer then east-south-east, and keep the lead going. On this course you will find 17, 16, 1:5,14, 13, and 12 fathoms, with a blueish, sticky ground; if too southersly, you will have 9 to 10 fathoms (solid ground), and must then steer more northerly, till you regain the before-mentioned depth. As soon as you get sight of the high tower, on Neuw erk, of the Scharhorn Beacon, or the outer vessel, bring that object south-east by south, and steer this course, the kad constantly going, till you are certain that you have reached the mouth of the Elbe ; thin proceed as stated in 1 and 2, "" 6. In coming towards the Elbe from the northward, keep the low light of Neuwerk, open to the eastward of the high light, steering south by east half-east, or south south-east ; you will then cross the tail of the Vogel Sand, in 6 or 7 fathoms, and when you deepen in 19 or 12 fathoms, you will be then in th e Eib e , a n d may pro ceed as before directed. " GENERAL REMARKS. " When it is expected there is ice in the Elbe, whe ther the light-vessels are at their stations or not, it is not prudent for any vessel to I tut' into the river, unless there is a fresh wind at south-west or west, as with these winds, and the tide at half ebb, the channel is left free of ice, and ships may fully expect to get - to get pilots and assistance, and to reach Cuxhaven harbour. " Do not come nearer the Scharhorn than nine fa thoms, it is very steep. " no not trust to your soundings on the Vogel Sand, between the white buoy, No. 2, and the station of the Miner light-ship. The depth is very irregular, and being steep from thirteen to fourteen fathoms, you are close to the dry sand. You may approach the sand reef to five fathoms, on the south shore. " In order to guard against mistaking the lights, which has often occurred, by mistaking the high light of Neuwerk for the light-vessel, it is recommended, as the only sure plan to guide strangers, when they see a light, is to bring it to bear south-east by south before stranding for it, and in that bearing to steer direct for it. They will, then, even if. the light -vessel is away, come to no danger before seeing the low light on Neuwerk, and by that know what light it is. " With references to the sailing directions in No. 4, it must be remarked, that the south shore is very steep, and should, therefore, only be adopted when the wind is to the southward of west, taking care not to get to the northward of the Elbe, by striking in hazy wea th er t h e shoal water of the tail of the Vogel (which stretches right across the Elbe) before sight of anything is . got. Compass courses and bearings, an d th e distance 6U miles to one degree." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, April 17. BULWER V. ASHLEY--JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCE LLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued some time since upon appeal ft om the de cision of the Vice-Chancellor of England. His Lordship ordered the decree Pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor to be varied, by directing the annuities to be valued, and the tenant to keep down the interest on such valuation, instead of keep ing down the interest on the annuities as directed by the Vice-Chancellor. It was arranged that the mattershould be mentioned again on Wednesday next, in order to settle the minutes of the decree. The Court then proceeded to hear appeals, none of which possessed any features of public interest. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Aprill7. The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with cause petitions of no general interest. ROLLS' COURT, April 17. STRIKENG OUT CAUSES. In the course of the morning, Mr. ROGERS applied to the ,Master of the Rolls to permit a cause, in which the parties were not prepared, in consequence of its having unexpectedly come into the paper, to stand over for a short time. Lord LANGDALE said it was very inconvenient to postpone causes that were in the paper. Solicitors ought to be pre pared, and he must insist upon striking out the causes if the parties were not ready when they were called on. If that course were persevered in for a short time, parties would be more on the alert. _ - Mr. GRAY (of the firm of Clarke, Metcalfe, and Gray) beg ged to state cn behalf of the solicitors of the Court, that they were not altogether to blame. He knew of a case that was yesterday postponed which would have lasted three or four days, and, consequently, those cases that stood after it had unexpectedly come into the paper, and much earlier than was anticipated. The parties in those cases, relying upon the causes being taken regularly in their turn, were of course not prepared, while all' the extra labour to get the heavy case ready to which he had alluded, had been entirely thrown away. Lord LANGDALE—There is something in that, Mr. Gray but I think solicitors should be prepared for every con tingency. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 17. (Sittings in Banco.) MI CORPORATION tm SALT.IBII 7 , . FINNIMORE. This was an action brought to try the right of the Corpora tion to levy a toll of one'shilling on every vessel entering Plymouth Sound, as anchorage and buoyage. The case was tried before Mr. JuStiee Wightman and a special jury at Exeter, and the verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. Bans Tow now moved for a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground—first, of the improper reception of evidence ; and, secondly, of misdirection by the Learned Judge. At the trial the charters granted to the borough by Elizabeth, Charles the Second, and George the Third, were put in evidence. These charters confirmed to the Corporation their right=to dues for anchorage and buoyage, and. to all other dues which they had heretofore been entitled to receive. The plaintiff's then proceeded to show usage from time imme morial in the collection of these dues. Among the evidence put in to support this usage there were a number of trades.' mens' bills receipted, taken from the muniments of the bo rough of Saltash, for repairs clone to certain buoys. He ob jected to the admission of these bills, contending that they_ could not be given as evidence, that the work had been ac tually done, inasmuch as it would be extending the principle of the admission of hearsay evidence further than it had ever yet been extended. The Learned Judge, however, had ad mitted then“o be given in evidence; as was now contended, improperly, and the Learried Counsel quoted several cases in support of his argument. It further appeared that there had been given in evidence what was called a decree of the Court of Chancery in the time of Queen Elizabeth, in the case of Roodyard v. Cloburly and others. This was an action brought by certain persons who claimed these dues under a charter of Elizabeth, against the Corporation - of Saltash; for persisting in collecting them. The Corporation contended they had a right to these dues, and the Court confirmed them in that right by what was of fered in evidence as a dicree, but which he contended Was merely an interlocutory order; Now in that case there were two contending grantees for the Crown, each claiming the toll, and therefore each interested in assuming that there was a right to collect the - toll ; but there was none to represent the interests of the public, and therefore it could not be' given in evidence in a case brought to try the 'right to the toll. The order itself was merely Interlocutory, confirming the right of the Corporation to collect these tolls until the plaintiffs should show better cause to support their claim. It was merely a decision nisi, and could not be given in evidence to show the immemorialitv of this claini on the part of the Corporatioit of Saltash. The misdireetion was, that the Judge having ad mitted this as evidence, treated it in his summing up as de cisive, of the point. Mr: Justice WicaroUN had treated, it as cogent evidence, but novas decisive: • BARsrow—Very well, my Lord, then I willonly ask foIt.MYJAIIe on the taro:first points. VpiltAN—Take your rule.—Rule nisi granted. eail I BAIL COURT, April 17. 411 i QUEEN U. THE TOWN-COUNCIL OF STAMFORD. Mr. : STRIITENs apitlied :to the Court for a mandamus, 'di rectek te. the Town-council of the borough of Stamford, com manding them to pay 1971. 19s. 3d. to the treasurer of the borough-fund; to be carried to account of that fund. It ap peared that an order 'l4 been made by three of the ToWn conned for the payment of this sum out of the borough fund to an attorney for certain _proceedings taken by him. This order for payment the Court of Queen's Bench had subse quently-gnashed, and the object of the present application was to have the sum in,qtieStion, restored to the borough fund. ' Mr. Justice CoLEttmaz said, that having doubts as to ;the Proper course to be mil-fined ) he should take time to consider his decision. HOARE' V. ANDERSON. Pl, Id M Mills - in this case Mr. ,att an Ar. ...tills were for the plaintiff; and for.the defendant:no Counsel appeared. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, a livery-stable keeper, to recover the sum of 71!. 2s. 6d., the balance of an account of 142/. 55., from the defendant, a gentleman well known in the sporting circles, and brother-in-law to Madame Vestris. The account had been incurred by Mr. Anderson, and by his wife, for the hire of carriages, from January to September in the last year, to convey them to and from Eburv-street, Pimlico (the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews), to and from the theatres, St. Alban's races, And various other places. The trips were proved by. three of Mr. Hoare's servants, who had driven the defendant or his family on various occa sions, within the period stated; and the jury at once found a verdict for the plaintiff, for the balance of account claitned by him. _ _ COURTOF 'EXCHEQUER, April 17. (Sittings in Ban co .) • . . The following notice pas posted in Court this morning:— " It is ordered that in future the Peremptory Paper be called on the first day of each term after the motions, and be prodeded with the next day, if necessary,before the motions." In accordance with this order, the cases act down in the peremptory paper were proceeded with to-day. ' i They did not appear to be: such as t o ca ll f or particular notice. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, April 17.' . (Sittings in Banco.) FEARN V. FILICA. Sir T. Wit., in this case, moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, on the ground Of its being against, evidence, and on the ground of misdirection. The cause was tried before Mr. Justice Coltman, and a Ver dict.was entered for the plaintiff to the amount of 3021. ss. The action was on a bill of exchange. It appeared that a person named Grand. took a counting-house in the City, using the name of the firm of Howard, Grand, and Co. Grand hail by some means obtained an introduction to the Comtner cial Bank of Paris, and kept book at his counting-house to show that he had transactions with that Bank, but there was not a single entry in them. The action in the present •case was brought on a bill of exchange remitted bY Pauli and Co., of Milan, to Grand, and drawn on Gandolfii and Co , in • the City, who were the real defendants. and bg the bill He was advertised, s °: ; i i le ff tri e l r ial ed for him, and a fiat i n ha n k r Upt c y bill arrived, Grand shut up s Beforer ► oaur . the toinf g lj oh t letter s was a d 1. issued against him. Ile had, however, left a letter for aJ . per son named Lonagan, authorisin g him to open any letter that came for him, and to_endorse the bill in question. There was a letter also fora person named Lopez, stating that the bill should be appropriated- for the payment of any debts for which Lopez was liable on account of Grand.. It wail not so appropriated, but Was 'applied in discharge of a debt due from Lonagan to a person named Dani e l, which was said to hive arisen by reason Of an advance of 300/. made by Daniel on a pledge of some wine warrants. Taking the 'plaintiff to be a bona fide holder of the bill through Daniel, the issue. taken in the case was whether the. bill was endorsed by Howard, Grand, and Co. The first objection he had was that the letter might be construed into an intention to commit a fraud, and that Lopez and Lonagan were' cognisant of fraud, having ab sconded. In the next place there was nothing in the letter of Grand authorising the appropriation which had been made of the bill. He contended that the .bill never belonged to Grand, and that the authority to appropriate it was revoked by the act of bankruptcy. The Learned Judge told the jury to consider whether the plaintiff' was a bona fide holder, -with out reference to those circumstances, and the jury were of opinion that there was no act of bankruptcy when there clearly was one. Rule granted on both points. SHERIFFS' COURT, April 16.. (Before Mr. Under-S,heriff KENNEDY and a Common Jury.: HATTON V. MACREADY. THEATRICAL DIFFERENCES.—This was an action brought by John Liptrot Hatton, the author of the es:ebrated Eng lish opera, - Pascal Bruno, which was played with so much Success in Germany, and i gentleman of well-known musical talent, against the eminent tragedian. William Charles Macready, Esq., to recover the sum of 191.

Is. 6d., which he paid into Court Mr. Simon appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Whitmore for the defence. A difference arose between the parties as to the amount of salary, and Mr. Hatton did that which Mr. Macready consi dered a breach of engagethent ; and the question was whether the former was entitled to a notice or not. Mr. WHITMORE urged that the plaintiff had destroyed his own case. Supposing the plaintiff were entitled to a week's notice from the time of discontinuing his services, and to tw o guineas for a pe r f ormance o f a mongrel kind, similar to that of Punch, where one figure moves and a person speaks from behind, the defendant hakmore than covered his'demand by the payment of 121. ls. 6d. into Court. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF having summed up, the jury returned'a verdict for the defendant. ADMIRALTY COURT, .April IG. THE ELIZABE,TO.- - SALVAG E . This was an action to recover compensation for alleged salvage services rendered by two licensed boatmen to a schooner named the Elizabeth, of 60 tons' (new measure ment), bound on a voyage. from London to Canton, which met with a gale of wind near the '1516 of. Portland, and, it being feared that she had s p r ung a leak, the master put back, and when whe h it ois o t ff ed D a un l g ig e h ri t es f s o , r o a n ptihloet (as he alleged), and was ev ening of the 13th of Ja nuary,boarded by .the salvors, by whose aid the vessel was brought into Dover harbour. The owners contended that the service was one of pilotage, and tendered 101., which was consider ably more than the ordinary rate of pilotage. The salvors claimed to have performed a salvage service, for which 104 -was inadequate. The value of ship and cargo was 2,3001. After hearing Dr. Haggard for the salvors, and Dr. Addams for the owners, who characterised the action as an attempt at extortion, - • Dr. LUSHIN6TON, repeating the doctrine he had often laid down, that a pilot is not bound to take charge of a vessel which required services of another kind, not in the ordinary course of navigation for The ordinary pilotage alone, declared his opinion that this case was not one of mere.pilotage, and that wed not an adequate reward 'for it; argl he al lotted 20/. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. L R COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) At two o'clock the Learned Judge entered the Court, when Mary Farley, a married woman, thirty-six years of age, was indicted for the wilful murder of George Furley, her male child, in the month of March last, by carrying and casting him into a certain navigable canal. The case for the prosecution was ststed by Mr...Prender • Bast; the prisoner was undefended, but the presiding Judge adopted the good old-fashioned plan of being her counsel, by objecting to the evidence where it appeared either illegal or irrelevant. Several witnesses were examined, and the purport of their testimony has already : been before the public. It appeared by the evidence to-day, that some time before she Committed the dreadful crime, she and her two children were Inmates of Bethnal-green workhouse, which place she left voluntarily on the 20th of March, when she was paid a small sum of money by the master. After she - left she compla'ned. to her friends that the children had not been kindly treated in the union, and evinced Mat distress of mind. ; and she told one of them ary Butler).that that day would end her trouble, for both her and her children Would meet with a watery grave. On that evening about half-past eight she took away her youngest child, and ,shortly after she was seen by Mr. Gard ner, a bargemaster, at the Regent's Canal, near the Mile-end road bridge. Ile• hearing;a moaning went to the place from whence the sound proceeded, when lie saw something float ing nearly fifteen feet from the bank. lle put out his boat hook and caught hold of the prisoner, .who exclaimed, " Oh, my child I" lie asked her where it was, and she said "In the water," and he saw it drop from under her arm while sha was speaking. - The • Witness conveyed them to the Globe Tavern, and Mr. ;- New, a . surgeon, was sent for, - who pro nounced the child dead, but by means used the prisoner was resuscitated. After she recovered she attempted to make away with herself and child,. on account of the ill-treatment she had met with in the Workhouse. Several female paupers who have infant children there were called by the Judge, and strictly examined as to the diet allowed to infant paupers.. They all declared that the food and nutrition was good in quality and sufficient in quantity. Mr. New having deposed that the deceased infant was a fine' healthy child, and that death arose from drowning, The prisoner was called on for her defence. The unfortn nate woman, who is a well-favoured person, and fluent of speech, arose and addressed the jury for nearly a quarter of an hour, and detailed some facts relative to the barber to the workhouse, when half drunk, operated upon the head of her elder child, and 'cut 'pieces of flesh or skin therefrom as big as farthing pieees. In addition to six shillings she had when she left the workhouse, her friends made some small contributions to enable her to get employment at shirt. mak ing, but she could with bard labour finish three in a day, for which she received seven farthings each. The day before she went to the water she determined on laying out her little stock of money in muslin and ribbon, and making up some dress caps, but when she got to.the shop to make the pur chase, she found that some person had stolen her green silk purse and money. After a short pause and considerable fal tering, she added, " My Lord, I had no prospect 'before me but to go to the workheuSe, to which I had such an aversion; that I preferred death to myself and child." She concluded by saying, " I did not go Into the water, but slipped off th e plank at the wharf." _ _ Mr. Justice MAIILE summed up the evidence, and left it for the jury to say whether they thought, after the declare • tions she had made, she had wilfully cast herself and child into the water, or whether she had slipped in by accident, as she bad just said. The jury consulted ten minutes, and then declared her Guilty. Proclamation having been made by Mr. Miller, the officer of the Court, The Learned JuDGE addressed the prisoner with great earnestness and solemnity, and concludod by passing the awful sentence of death, after the usual form. The prisoner cla.qped her hands together,and exclaimed, " What shall I do'?" She was removed roth the har in an agony of grief. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKEN WELL. William Burton Newenhant was brought up on re mand, charged with the abduction of Frances Louisa Wortham, of Gerard-street, Coburg-road, Islingtoni a ward in Chancery. The Court was crowded, as on former occasions, with professional gentlemen and highly respectable laymen, who manifested great interest in the proceedings. Mr. Southee, of Ely-Place, Holborn, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Humphries defended the prisoner: On Tuesday last an -application was made to Vice- Chancellor Sir-Knight "Bruce. to suspend the order of reference, which had been made by his Honour, to the Master, to inquire into the marriage, or supposed mar riage of Newenharn, until the. result of the criminal pro ceedings at this Court was ascertained. His Honour declined to suspend the order, - but directed that Mrs. Wortham might be appointed receiver over her daugh ter's property, Mr. Southee observed that Mr. Allen, the tipstaff of the Court of Chancery was in attendance. Mr. CoSIBE—WeII, what then ? Mr. Southea—ln case - your Worship discharges 'the prisoner I suppose he intends to capture him on : the Vice-Chancellor's warrant. Mr. COMBE—There_is rot the slightest chance of imy discharging him. But the case cannot be proceeded With to-day. I must remand him until Monday next, %farm the case can be completed. Mr. Humphries. said he was not anxious toth ow any obstructions in the way of justice, but the am unt of bail - the magistrate had required was very large, two sureties in 500. each, and himself in 1,0001)—in short, it was tantamount to a refusal of bail altogether ~•1 for the prisoner could not procur e sure ti es i n so l arg e an amount. He hoped the Magistrate would receive bail to a leis amount, that his client might regain his liberty. Mr. Sout.hoe—l must oppose the application for a re duction of the amount of bail. Mr. COMBE,State why I should reduce the bail. Mr. Humphries—That a smaller amount would an-. swer the same purpos-. Mr. COMBE—If I were now to proceed with the case, evidence would •be in a few minutes produced which would place it quite beyond my power to receive bail at all. When taken into custody the prisoner said helwas an Esquire, and he represented himself as a person -of some fortune. - • Mr. Humphries—And in that representation he was fully justified. . . Mr. COMBE—Then, if he be so, he can have no diffi culty in procuring the amount of bail required. If jour client chooses to assume dignity and position, he cannot complain that he is dealt with as such. If you coniider the bail excessive, you know thrre is another Court to which you can appeal fur its reduction. Mr. Southee said he was anxious to correct an impres sion which he feared had gone forth, that he was anxioue to compromise the case. Such was not the fact, but di rectly the reverse. • Mr. CoMBI said there was no ground for such an in.. pression, . Mr. Southee felt it his duty to call the attention of the Magistrate to the fact that, since the prisoner's arrest, he had been in communication with Miss Wortham and her mother, contrary to the order of the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Co3IBE said this question was,, as far as he: was concerned, proPerly:speaking, coram non judice. He would, however, be most anxious to.lend his assistance in carrying out the Chancellor's directions, and thdught it highly improper that any communication should be allowed to take place, between the prisoner and Mrs. or Miss Wortham. Ile had advised mother and dauhter not to hold any such communication with the prisrner. Further than this he was not justified in interfering'. Mr. Southee produced a letter of the prisoner, dated the 13th of April, to Mrs. or Miss Wortham, which had!been sent to them from the house of Correction. Mr. COMBE said the parties aiding in forwarding this letter rendered themselves liable to punishment forlcon tempt of the Court of Chancery, by acting in defiance of the order of that Court. Mr. Humphries—AS this matter has been mentioned I must say the prisoner has acted indiscreetly and un wisely. I will advise him against holding any ;such communication in future. I want to know, why should the pike go to his lodging and seize upon is money ? Mr. Southee assured the Court if such were the case it was done without kis latowledge or concurrence. : Inspector Penny—l received instructions from Mr. Southee to lock the prisoner's door and seal it up. I did so, but I removed no money. Mr. Humphries- - --Somebody did it. He was informed that it was Duke, the Usher of the Court. • Duke said he remove d the money from the lodging, . i t but took it back ag ain, putting i t a safe place. • Mr. COMBE—I ye no - objection that it should be re stored to the prisoner. The prisoner was then remanded. On the former examinatien Mr. I - lumphries elicited from Mrs. Worth= that .the prisoner had advanced money for the education of her daughter, but with a prounze of its being repaid on a future occasion. UNION-HALL. Thomas Nicholson, a Lancashire man, was charged with breaking the leg of a man named Watchorn on the preceding night. It appeared the parties were tanners at Bermondsey, and living together at the "-Crown and Cushion" in Page's-walk, they quarrelled and had a scuffle. In the course of the affray the prisoner resorted to a very discreditable mode of attack on his adversely, and gave him what is termed a most violent "Lancashire kick," which broke his leg, and he was obliged to be taken to the hospital. Mr. CorrxNonAlit said the defendant had acted in a most brutal manner, and remanded him till the injured man is able to attend. : MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Thomas Sharpe, a genteel, good-looking youth, between seventeen and eighteen years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a silk purse, containing sixteen sove reigns, a half-crown, and two sixpences, under the following circumstances:— The prosecutor, Mr. George Masters, a solicitor, residing at N 0.22, Duke-street, St. James's, stated that the prisoner had been in his service from the 28th of December last as footboy, and bad apparently conducted himself with steadiness and propriety. Last evening he (the prosecutor) returned home from the country, and being much fatigued, from having travelled two days and nights, retired to bed between eight and nine o'clock. About a quarte:. to ten he, was awoke from out of a sound sleep by something occurring in his bed-chamber, but could not make out what it was, and therefore concluded he had been dream ing; but presently afterwards he was somewhat startled at perceiving, although very indistinctly, at the foot of the bed, the head of a person, who was evidently in a crouching' posi tion. assure himself that he was not deceived, he gently raised himself on his elbow, and, after the lapse of a few seconds, distinctly heard a rustling, as of a person moving ; cautiously about, on which he instantaneously jumped out of bed and ran against some person, whom he seized firm hold of, and, throwing him down, pinned him to the floor, but it was too dark for him to recognise wilt, it was. The bell• pull being within reach, he rang for his servant, who quickly came with a light, and he then perceived that he had captured the prisoner. On examining the room the purse and its contents were missed from oft' the drawers, where he had placed it just previously to going to bed, and on looking about it was found on the floor at the- prisoner's feet. The prisoner afterwards begged to be forgiven, for the sake of his parents, who are very de cent people. Mr. IlannwicK asked the prisoner what he had to say ? He said he had been drinking, and dill not know what he was doing.—He was fully-committed to Newgn:e..

The accounts from the United States, received by the Caledonia steamer—being calculated to induce a belief in a larger crop of cotton than had been previously ex pected by many parties—have exercised an unfavourable influence upon our market. It is understood that there are many orders on hand, both for goods and yarn ; and a large amount of business was done prior to the arrival of the steamer; but the anticipation of a further decline in the price of cotton has caused many of the buyers, especially of yarn, to hold back in the hope of being able to execute their orders on better terms. Yarns, suitable for the German market, have con sequently suffered a slight decline, and the busi ness done in them has been very limited. There is, however, still a fair business for IRdia, and for the home trade, at tolerably steady prices. In goods there is not much doing, except for shirtings, which are still in good demand, and large quantities would be taken at a very trifling concession from previous rates. The stocks are, however, very light, and manufacturers are not much inclined to lower their demands. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL 15. —We have bad a better attendance of buyers in the market to-day than last Monday ; but a very limited quantity'of goods has been disposed of. Those of the coarser kind have been the most inquired after. The wool market has been extremely dull, and the manufac turers are not at all eager to purchase, except for imme diate use. The prices are much.the same as last week LEITH.—The returns of the Customs revenue at this port, both for the quarter and year just ended, exhibit a large increase, and show the steady rise and great im provement of the trade and shipping of the port.
