The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, tie amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex. bibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be rUlly appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. is fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the Fame time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechr ist, has achieved a matchless less triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis. eeding of the Animals at Five—Concert at Six—Conflagration at Dusk.

In the Commons forty-nine petitions were presented in favour of the Repeal of the Union. In answer to a question from Mr. MasrEilmAN re lative to the operation of the Bank Charter Bill and Joint-Stock Banks, Mr. GLADSTONE said it was not the intention of the Government to apply the pro visions of th e Bill to t h ese b an k s at present, except with regard to registration. The Government recog nised all the privileges of these banks up to the pass ing of the Bill. Captain LAYARD asked the Government whether there was any truth in th e report that Earl DE GREY had resigned his office as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. Lord ELIOT could give no answer, and referred the Eon. Member to Sir ROBERT PEEL. At a later period of the evening Sir R. PEEL ob served that he had mistaken Captain LAYARD'S clues _ tiOrl respecting Lord DE GRE Y'S resignation—he had _resigned, but solely through i ll health. Mr. SIHEL gave notice that he would this evening put a question to Sir ROBERT PEEL, to ascertain whether he had issued any orders to the Education Committee, relative to Church patronage in Ireland. The House went into Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill, when a very amusing discussion took place, about slave-labour sugar and free-labour sugar. The only answer relative to their distinction was given by Mr. GLADSTONE, who said the slavery of Java was different from the slavery of Brazil. This was no answer at all, and notwithstanding some able remarks made by Lord PALMERSTON, Ministers could not adduce another argument in favour of their differential duty. Mr. Hum: stated, evidently with the approbation of the House, that the Government itself did not know what the distinction meant. A lengthened conversation fol lowed, when Mr. GLADSTONE , being driven into a corner, declar e d t h at he did not know whether the sugar raised in Cochin -China was the produce of free labour. Nearly the whole of the evening was occu pied in the discussion of the different clauses of this Bill, and no Government certainly ever made such a lame defence for a measur e o f such vast imp o;tance Mr. GLADSTONE, who had to be ar th e b runt of the battle, had recourse to mere shuffling—to the logic practised in debating clubs, and Sir ROBERT PEEL now and then came to his relief, but, unfortunately, he lent him,no aid. Taking it altogether, this Sugar Bill is the most bungling measure ever introduced into Parliament. Government pretend a horror of sugar raised by slaves; they insult the Brazilians, among the best of our customers ; and they give a preference to some miserable islands in the East, where, according to all accounts, slavery is more ram pant than in South America. On the fourth clause being read, which referred to certificates respecting the countries from which sugar was to be imported, a division took place, on the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, when there were, for the clause, 114; and against it, 60. Several other clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be re ceived this day. The Parishes (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One. In reply to a question put by Captain LAYARD last night in the House of Commons, with regard to the rumoured resignation of Earl DE GREY, the present Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, Sir ROBERT PEEL said, that there was no truth whatever in the report, but added that at the same time he did not mean to say that his Lordship's state of health had not for some months past made him anxious to be relieved from his present office. "At a later period of the evening," observes a morning Contemporary, " the Premier further qualified his first unqualified statement by an nouncing that an immediate change in the Irish Go vernment was in contemplation, but that it was solely in consequence of Earl DE Grunt's health." His Lordship's indisposition has occurred at amost fortunate season—just in time, in fact, to save his political cha racter, and rescue him from the annoyance and humi liation of an abrupt recal. He will now, we presume, be speedily disembarassed of the toils and resposibi litiea attending his Viceroyalty—far luckier in this respect than Lord ELLENBOROUGH, who has no con venient illness to plead in explanation of his hasty recal from India. Ministers seem to be peculiarly unfortunate in some of their most important appoint ments, for their Viceroy in the West appears to have given them as much trouble as their Governor- General in the East ; and as the former has added to the weight and multitude of their perplexities in Ireland, so the latter has very nearly got them into a squabble with the East India Company. As re gards the particular case of Earl DE GREY, we look upon his resignation as a matter imperatively called for under the existing circumstances of the sister country, and we are only surprised that it has been so long delayed. Had his Lordship retired some months earlier, he would have better consulted his own dignity ; for, from the first moment of his entering upon the Viceroyalty, his administration has been one long blunder—or rather a series of petty, provoking blunders, which have occasioned quite as much ridicule as indignation. Professing the strictest im partiality in his conduct, his legal and other appoint ments were all, with but one or two unimportant ex ceptions, of a one-sided character. Then, the mode in which he arrayed himself in hostility to the Re pealers, and the nature of the military precautions he adopted against their apprehended insurrection — could anything be more absurd—more calculated to increase the general discontent of all parties, Orange men as well as Catholics ? We say nothing of his fortification of the Dublin Pigeon-house of his placing a couple of extra sentinels at the gates of the Castle, in order to drive away the invading army of the Corn Exchange—of the hurried voyage of troops, per steam-boat, without their dinners, to Waterford, and of their still more hurried voyage back again, after finding, to their infinite disappoint ment, not a single insurgent in the city, but only a deaf old woman selling matches on the quay— of the rebuilding of the crazy old forts on the Shannon, and the late miserable and truly dignified crusade against the Repeal buttons ;—we say nothing of all these multiplied fool eries ; but think of the summary dismissal of many of the most respectable and efficient Magistrates in Ireland, a proceeding whose only effect, as might have been anticipated, was to increase the Repeal ferment; think of the forbearance shown for months, (luring the hottest periods of the agitation, towards Mr. O'CONNELL and the monster- meetings ; and then, when these meetings were just about to terminate for the season, and the Liberator had announced his in tention of retiring for a time into the privacy of Derrinane—of the sudden exhibition made of official vigour in the putting down of the Clontarf meeting, under circumstances which—had it not been for the exertions of O'CONNELL and his indefatigable colleague Tom STEELE—might have caused the blood of the people to flow in torrents, and made quite an Aceldama of the field of Clontarf ;—think, we say, of these things, and then, reader, whether you be Whig, Tory, or Radical, you will scarcely fail to agree with us in opinion, that Earl DE GREY'S Administration was throughout one long blunder, and that a more in competent Viceroy could scarcely have been selected for Ireland at such a feverish crisis. When his Lord ship first entered on his high post, he found—thanks to the enlightened sway of the Marquis of NORMANDY and Earl FORTESCUE—the country in a comparatively tranquil state ; but, before he had been six months in office, it was in a state of agitation from one end to the other; and when he leaves it, he will leave it overrun with troops, horse, foot, and artillery; vigi lantly watched by steam war-ships; and treated with little less ceremony than if it were a conquered pro vince, instead of an integral part of the British Empire ! Such is the legacy which a Tory Lord- Lieutenant will leave, on his resignation, to insulted and oppressed Ireland ! We shall be exceedingly curious to know whom Sir ROBERT,PEEL will appoint as the successor of Earl DE GREY. Lord MONTEAGLE, on Thursday se'nnight, moved, in the House of Lords, for the appointment of a " Select Committee on the Import Duties, with the view of considering the effect produced by protecting duties on the foreign commerce, the home industry, the revenue, and the general prosperity of the British Empire." The speech of the Noble Lord, which occupied more than three hours in its delivery, had obviously been prepared with extraordinary care and reflection. It is long since we have perused any effort of this kind, which was more remarkable for its indication of these qualities—so essential to the impres sive effect of an address to the House of Peers, replete with fiscal and commercial statistics, and devoted, in the main, to the distasteful object of establishing, against the legislation of the present and of former Governments, a case of signal misconcep tion as to the true interests of trade, and of deplor able failure in the policy adopted in dealing with them by British Administrations. The speech was not less truly than emphatically characterised by the Earl ofl DALHOUSIE, on whom devolved the task of replying to it, as " a very able and admirable" one. Those of our readers who would desire to avail themselves of the rapid, but well-arranged and com prehensive summary of the follies involved in our long fostered policy of protecting duties—their effects upon foreign commerce and their reaction upon our selves—we earnestly refer to the report of Lord MONTEAGLE'S speech. If we were to attempt any thing like an abstract of its various and important details, we should only do great injustice to a state ment which had been already carefully considered by its noble author. We should be most sorry to dete riorate the value and effect of so well digested, so perspicuous, and so excellently reasoned an exposi tion of the ground s on which his Lordship called for the Committee in question. That in a House of 259 Peers (of whom 128 were present and 131 proxies) there should have been declared a majority of 109 against the motion, will surprise no one who knows how " they manage these things" in that branch of the Legislature. It is instructive to note, however, that of the 184 Peers whose votes rejected the propo sition, 94 were proxies, i. e., not present at the de bate. Lord MONTLAGLE, after adducing precedents for similar and more extensive returns from the year 1820 downwards, imprtssed upon their Lordships the fact that this was "neither a political nor a party not even a political question." But it is one at all times of paramount and urgent importance; and from particular circumstances connected •with the results of the large financial measures wherewith the present Government had commenced their adminis tration, at no period could it have been more conve niently entertained or with less danger of occasioning , any disturbance to the operations of commerce, or of unsettling the minds and the speculations of commer cial men. Should the result of such an inquiry as he solicited be, as undoubtedly it would be, a present ostensible reduction of revenue, the increasing product of the property-tax would enable the Government to begin the experiment of reduction, without that danger which a more unfavourable condition of the public finances might seem to threaten. On the other hand, to put these duties on a better and correcter footing would undoubtedly expand, to a point beyond belief, the energies and the beneficial returns of the com merce of the country. He wished to consider the import duties as bearing particularly on the question of protection. Now, so far from protecting our trade, he would take the liberty of showing that they held out the most delusive hopes, which were injurious to the interests, in particular, supposed to be protected ; and, in general, to the interests of the whole commu nity. Then he explained what were the views on which a State ought to proceed in the management of its commercial and financial administration, namely, to obtain the largest amount of revenue for the public service which it required, and which should be taken in a manner the least burdensome to the public at large. National should be dealt with, as nearly as possible, in the same manner as private interests ; and, as to the latter, all individual action should be left free. With these notions, the well-known definition by Mr. RICARDO of the true principles of free trade, perfectly harmonised. Lord MONTEAGLE, with great clearness expounded the three classes of duties with which commercial legislation had to deal. The first, —a duty for the purposes of revenue—if rightly admi nistered, was one which every class ought to derive a a direct benefit from ; for it was meant to maintain the honour and establishments of the empire. The second one was called a countervailing duty :—" If it could be shown that any class in the community had burdens peculiar to themselves, it would be the greatest of all acts of injustice if the State were to allow articles similar to those produced by this over burdened class to be introduced into this country without payment of duty." He instanced the case of hops. A fair protection to the British grower, who paid it, demanded that French or Belgian hops should not be admitted, except at a higher duty. But the third and most indefensible duty of all, was a "pro tecting duty," as it was, by a sort of solecism, called ; for, granted to one interest or class of our agricul tural or productive industry in particular, it was ne cessarily an oppressive or fraudulent duty, charged on. other classes or interests to the same extent. But not unfrequently it operated to the serious prejudice of the very party in whose favour it had been created. The Noble Lord quoted very cogent and apposite extracts from two eminent fiscal authorities, the one a public servant of the United States—the other of this Go vernment : Mr. CALHOUN, of the United States, and Mr. DEACON HUME, who for thirty-eight years sate at the Board of Customs, and for eleven years at the Board of Trade, equally denounced them in two re markable passages, which the Noble Lord read at length. Having laid these large and solid foundations for his motion, the Noble Lord incidentally noticed the " sliding scale" of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S law as being obnoxious to all the reproaches of inefficiency and ab• surdity to which other protecting duties are so largely open. He also contended that, with the exception of some seven or eight articles out of the 11,000 or 12,000 comprehended in the new tariff, Ministers had not adhered, in settling that document, to their own principles of commercial policy, as avowed by them selves. Thu;, the duty on cotton imported (raw ma terial), which was not to have been quite six per cwt., is kept up at eight, to say nothing of the larger indirect taxation on yarns and manufactured goods for export, into which this new material enters. He gave abundant credit, however, to the Government fer the large advances they had made in the right course in reducing the duties on woollens and coffee. The examples of Spain and of France supplied him with powerful illustrations of the hand-in-hand march of smuggling with protective duties ; and he forcibly illustrated the hypocrisy and imbecility of the grounds assigned by us for prohibiting all slave grown sugar by duties which seemed to have been calculated on a forgetfulness of the fact, that if we did not permit the importation of such sugars direct, we indirectly, but most efficiently encouraged the further production of slave-grown sugar ; as by admitting, for example, the sugar of Brazil or Cuba, for re-exportation, and employing it in our consign ments to St. Petersburgh. From the case of timber, he argued that the operation of protective duties was to substitute an inferior article for a better; and he condemned the Ministerial policy of remitting, to so large an extent, the duties on colonial timber, as a vast but ineffective sacrifice of revenue—not beneficial to any extent to the colonists themselves, and involv ing the gradual but fatal decay of our trade with Norway, Sweden, and the Baltic ports. We have no room to pursue the subject further; but we must again remark that this speech was one of the ablest which the session has produced ; and we are disposed to think that it will not be without its effect on the future commercial and colonial policy of Ministers. Madrid journals of the 13th have been received. According to some of them, reports prevailed that the Cortes would be dissolved on the 10th of July, and the new Cortes summoned for the 10th of October, when the QUEEN would attain her real majority. A re view of troops, on a grand scale, was to take place at Madrid in a few days. Deputations from many of the surrounding provinces had arrived at Barcelona to have audiences of their MAJESTIES to present ad dresses of congratulation. During the procession of the Fête Dieu at Barcelona, their MAJESTIES, who had been visiting some of the churches, met the pro cession in the street. They immediately alighted from their carriage, and prostrated themselves before the Host in the midst of a large crowd, who were much moved by this display of religious zeal. The Three per Cents. were done at 27* for cash, and 271 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 19i for cash. The French Chamber of Deputies, after tedious discussions, continued for eight days, passed the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway Bill, on Tuesday, by a majority of 218 to 56. This Bill authorises the Government to construct the line only when it shall be let by public auction to a company, who are to lay down the rails, build the carriages, &c., according to certain conditions. The lease is to continue for 45 years, and the party contracting are to give security for the due performance of the work, to the amount of 2,000,000 f. (80,0001.) Towards the conclusion of the debate M. CREMIEUX, a lawyer, moved the follow ing singular resolution, "that no Member of either Chamber can be an administrator or contractor on any line for which a concession is granted." The resolution, strange to say, met with little oppo sition. Two of the Government papers, the Journal des Debats and the Globe, are decidedly opposed to the resolution, and little doubt, therefore, remains that an attempt will be made to rescind the vote. The former journal thus points cut its absurdity :—" If the members of both Chambers are not to have the right of taking part in the administration of a rail road, what are the employments or occupations with which Deputies or Peers may be invested ? Why is this work to be prohibited more than any other ? What is there particularly suspicious in the carrying on of one of those undertakings, which everybody allows are most highly important for the prosperity and strength of the country? And if incompatibi lity results from their personal participation, why should it not be also applicable to that of a bro ther or friend ? In a word, to be a legislator, according to this amendment, the first condition shall be to possess neither moveable property, nor landed property, nor manufactory, nor any business whatever. Nor will this be enough— a member must also be without family and without friends. Such is the upshot of this system—it leads direct to absurdity. The Opposition had, it must be allowed, without disclosing their design, cleverly prepared men's minds in favour of this vote, by a proceeding of which several of the majority, not perceiving the snare, had become the accomplices and supporters. A paper had been hawked about, in which the signers declared themselves to have nothing to do with any railroad undertaking, and several Conservatives thought it right to sign. They must now comprehend what was the object of the paper thus presented to them. They have had placed be fore them to day the measure of that independence and patriotism which seize on all pretexts, and avail themselves of all kinds of passions, to bring about the failure of those enterprises from which the country THE SUN, LONDON FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1844. expected the happiest effects for the advancement of its welfare and of the national power." The dispute between the judges of the Cour Royale and the French bar still remains unsettled. On Tuesday the Court opened at the usual hour. No advocate was within the bar but several were stand ing in plain clothes at the bottom of the hall. Several cases in consequence were postponed for a week. The President at the same time announcing that if no agreement was come to within that period the Court would hear the simple statement of the soli citors and give judgment without the assistance of barristers. The following are additional extracts from the papers : " The health of the Minister of Finances imperatively re quires his departure to take the waters very shortly. The Minister of the Interior will take the direction of his depart ment during his absence. Should the benefit he expects to derive from the waters not be sufficiently decisive to enable M. Lacave Laplagne to resume his portfolio on his return, there must be a change in the Cabinet ; but nothing will be done before the close of the session. The seat of ➢I. Lacave Laglagne in the Court of Cassation is, as well known, re. served to him." The Moniteur publishes an ordonnance for the execution of the law of July last, taking off the ordinary duty upon sprits of wine if adulterated so as to be fit for no other pur pose than for lighting. The law having authorised the Go vernment to levy a new duty upon the adulterated mixture, it has fixed the following tariff. In the rural communes llf. per hectolitre (22 English gallons) ; in the communes having a population of from 4,000 to 6,000, 15f. 10c. ; in towns of 6,000 to 15,000, 19f. 20c. ; in towns of 15,000 to 30,000 23f. 30c. ; in towns of 30,000 to 50.000 and upwards, 27f. 40c. ; and in Paris and the banlieue, 29f. M. Double, orderly officer of the Minister of War, set out yesterday evening on a mission to the frontier of Morocco. "M. d'Andre is appointed Secretary to the French embassy at Turin. M. Joseph de Mareuil, Chargé d'Affaires ofFrance at that Court, proceeds in the same quality to Buenos Ayres, with the rank of First Secretary of Embassy.

MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very steady. Sales 6,000 bales, viz.-200 Pernams, at 54d. to 64d. ; 250 Egyptian, at 64d. to Bd. ; lOO Maranham, at sd. to 54d. ; 600 Surat, at 3d. to 34d. ; an d the rest American, at 34d. to 6d. Speculators took 500 bales.—Shares were rather better for South Eastern, but not quite so good for Bir mingham and Grand Junction. Birmingham and Derby were 63 ; Caledonian, 34 ; Chester and Holyhead, 54 ; Eastern Counties, 114 ; Grand Junction, 219 ; Great Western, 1211 ; Birmingham, 218 ; Brighton; 47 ; South Western, 86 ; South-Eastern, New, 11 ; Paris and Lyons, 31. 9s. 9d. ; Ditto and Rouen, 384 ; Orleans and Tours, 24. The ship arrivals continue tolerably numerous, but they bring no later advices. The East India Company have announced that their rate of exchange on Bengal and Madras is fixed for the present at ls. 10d., and upon Bombay at ls. 104 d. per Company's rupee. Ile effect of the prohibition by the Prussian Govern ment of all time bargains in railway shares has been very injurious, it is stated, to the value of those invest ments in the German exchanges. Large orders had been received at Vienna from Berlin for the sale of shares, and this leading to a sudden and considerable decline had caused many of the speculators to become de faulters. The new Belgian loan is out. For every 104 f. in old 24 per cents., 44 per cent. bonds will be given,:the interest com mencing from May, so that there will be a bonus to the an nuitant. Bankers and brokers will have 4 per cent. com mission allowed them. The Belgian Legislature has recently had rather an im portant subject under consideration, viz., the policy of allowing about 7,000,000 kilogrammes f Dutch colo nial coffee to come in annually at reduced terms. The objectors to the proposition contend that the English merchant will benefit, to the detriment of the Bel gian, as we shall extend our commerce with Java, taking coffee for our fabrics, and sending the pro duce to Rotterdam for sale. This will diminish the outlet for the cotton fabrics of Ghent, in Dutch East India, and the reduction intended here on free grown foreign coffee, will, it is urged, favour the competi tion, as the chief difficulty with our merchants is to obtain profitable returns from Java. The public Securities have to-day been buoyant, and we quote a further slight improvement in th e rates , C onso l s being 984 to 4. There have been some fair purchases, and the heavy investments also feel the influence of the rally, being better than they were yesterday afternoon. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 104 to 1024, and the New for Special Transfer 1024. The Three per Cents. are 99 to 4. Bank Stock is quiet at 1974. Exchequer Bills re alise 735. to 755. premium. The Foreign market is also rather more active. Spanish Five per Cents. have been steady at 234 to 234, and the Three per Cents. at 344 to 4, and up to 35 for time. Mexi can are also rather dearer, 344 to 4 for the Actives, and 144 for the Deferred. Colombian are 124 to 13, Peruvian 264 to 27, and Brazilian New 79. Portuguese Converted Stock is at 47. Belgian are supported at 104 to 1044, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have risen to 614 and 62. For Railway Shares the inquiry is not active ; but full rates are asked. Great Western are 46 ; Birmingham 119 to 120; and South-Western, Lights, 34 to 4 premium. Eastern Counties are 114 discount; and North Midland 64 discount. Orleans and Bordeaux have improved to 14 and 14 premium ; and Paris and Orleans to 184 4 premium. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 197% 3 per Cent.

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The returns for the week exhibit full average supplies of English Wheat, while the show of samples of that grain on sale was good. For all descriptions the demand was in a very sluggish state, and Monday's prices were barely sup ported. In Foreign Wheat, of which upwards of 12,000 quarters have come fresh to hand since our last, next to nothing was doing, and the rates had a downward tendency. The accounts from the country, noticing fine growing showers, the demand for all spring corn was heavy, and prices were barely sustained.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) STRATFORD V. FLIGHT. This case came before the Court upon an application to dissolve an injunction obtained by the plaintiff, restraining the defendant from proceeding at law upon two bills of ex change for 1,0001. each. The case having stood over for judgment until this morning, His HONOUR (addressing Mr. Bethell) said—l have care fully read over the defendant's answer, and the whole of the proceedings in " Stratford v. Flight," and I am of opinion that there is no equity in the plaintiff's bill as against the defendant. The order for dissolving the injunction obtained against the defendant must therefore be made absolute. Mr. BETHELT—If your Honour pleases. [We regret having made some observations the other day which were founded on an erroneous report of the transac tions in this case. It will be seen by the above that the Vice- Chancellor has given his judgment this morning entirely in the defendant's favour.—En. Sun.] (Before Sir JAMES WIGRAM.) • BENSON V. HADFIELD. In this case, which had stood over from the 3d of June his Honour gave judgment this morning. It was a suit brought by the acting Directors of the Bahia Steam Naviga tion Company against the house of Hadfield and Co., of Liverpool and Bahia, to have the accounts taken of the trans actions in which the defendants had been engaged, as their agents in South America. His HONOUR said he had reserved his judgment upon two points only. The first was, whether the plaintiffs properly represented the partnership of which they were the mem bers; confining himself upon this point to the objection sup posed to arise out of the circumstance that,'during the course of the transactions out of which the suit had arisen, there had been only four instead of six directors of the company, six being the number required by the partnership deed, and there were only four directors, parties to the suit at the time when the bill was filed. There was no suggestion that the constitution of the company in that respect had been altered since the filing of the bill. Upon this point he thought the objection ought not to prevail. Adverting to the circum stances under which the affairs of the company were carried on since the reduction of the number of directors, he could not, in favour of a stranger to the company, who, had had dealings with it, hold that the company was not well represented for the purposes of the present suit. The second question was, whether Mr. Wood, formerly a partner in the house of Armando, Hadfield, and Company, was liable in respect to transactions which occurred prior to his retire ment from the firm. This question divided itself into two parts; first, whether he had become discharged altogether, upon an agreement expressed or implied on the part of the company, who took the new instead of the old firm as their creditors ; and, secondly, whether, if Mr. Wood were not so discharged, he could object to the bill. The former of these questions was to be tried strictly upon the rule of plead ing with evidence. In deciding this question, it was most material to look to the form of pleading. In this case, the defendant had not pleaded any such agree ment; he merely set forth his retirement from the company in March in ,1840, and stated that notice of his retirement, as well as notice of the incoming of two new partners had been given. His Honour, afte r re f err i ng t o th e pleadings, said it was impossible that, upon a full consideration of them, he could hold that Mr. Wood was entitled to a decree, dis charging him from his liability. The second question was, that respecting multifariousness. When the bill was filed, the defendant put in a demurrer for multifariousness, on the ground that he had no concern with the transactions of the firm since his retirement. Lord Langdale, before whom the demurrer was argued, allowed the demurrer, observing at the same time, that there might be such a connection between the new and the old dealings as to give the plaintiff a right to bring Mr. Wood before the Court, in order that the entire case might be taken in one suit. With regard to the ques tion whether he was to discharge Mr. Wood or not, the case was this. Upon the accounts which had been produced, and upon the case alleged in the bill, it might turn out that Mr. Wood was properly a defendant on the record. From the accounts which he had seen, it was quite impossible that he could hold that the bill was multifarious, as against Mr. Wood, at the present time. The only doubt he had had, was on the question whether he ought to direct any accounts, without prejudice to this ques tion, at once, or merely to direct the accounts to be taken. He could not allow the objection, nor could he usefully or properly reserve that point for future consideration. With regard to the other point, he thought this account must be directed as prayed by the bill; but upon that point, as Mr. Wood was never an active party in the proceedings, and as neither party had brought this case before him, so as to en able him to decide it at the hearing, he was ofopinion that he should direct the accounts, without prejudice to the question whether Mr. Wood was discharged or not. QUEEN'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.) THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN, ON A PETITION OF RIGHT. The trial of this case was resumed this morning, and the examination of witnesses in support of the Baron's claim had not concluded when we went to press. The general impres sion is, that the case 1%411 last over to-morrow. COMMON PLEAS. (THIS DAY.) Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and a Special Jury.) FORTH V. LAWSON. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. James were for the plain iff, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Peacock were for the defendant. This was an action of libel brought by the Rev. Nathaniel Forth, against Joseph Lawson, the printer of the Times news paper, to recover compensation in damages for an injury done to his character as a clergyman, by a paragraph which ap peared in the Times newspaper of the 26th July. The defendant pleaded that he did not publish the libel, and that the plaintiff was not a clergyman. The present action originated in paragraph which was appended to a report of some observations of Mr. Clive, the magistrate of Wandsworth Police-office. It appeared from the evidence on the part of the plaintiff that he was ad mitted into holy orders in 1803, and was ordained a priest in 1806, and that at subsequent periods he officiated as curate of St. Sepulchre and of St. George's, Bloomsbury, up to 1813, but had not officiated since that period as a clergyman. He afterwards became reduced in circumstances, and his case being made known, several sums of money were sent to Mr. Clive, for the use of the Rev. Gent!eman. In consequence of something which oc curred, Mr. Clive announced in the police court, that as Mr. Forth had not appeared to claim the money which had been sent to him for his use, he would return it to those from whom he received it, if he knew to whom it belonged; and would not receive any more donations for him. Mr. Clive added that he came to this determination in consequence of information he received from the Rector of Wandsworth, and would decline having any further correspondence either with the Rev. Mr. Forth or his family. The paragraph appended to this was, "We learn from another source that the Rev. Mr. Field was suspended some time since by the Bishop of London, and such suspension, as far as we can learn, has never yet been taken off." For this paragraph the present action was brought. Mr. Humritrnv addressed the jury for the defendant. He said that this was an action which should never have been brought by the plaintiff. He complained that the plaintiff had not denied the truth of what had been said by Mr. Clive, which would. have given hi m an opportun i ty of calling Mr. Clive and the resident Rector of Wandsworth. From what had been said by Mr. Clive, there was nobody who would not think that there had been something worse in the conduct of Mr. Forth than what had been stated in the Times. He called on the jury to give the least amount of damages they possibly could. His LORDSHIP briefly summed up, and said it was certainly a question of damages, which he should leave to the jury. The jury retired, and had not returned their verdict when we went to press. MAYOR V. FARQUAR.-CRIM. CON. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Sergeant Channell, and Mr. Cardwell, were for the plaintiff; Mr. Knowles and Mr. Ser geant Byles appeared for the defendant. This was an action brought by Captain Mayor, the plaintiff, in the present action, to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, Captain Farquhar, for criminal conver sation with his wife. Mr. Sergeant TALFOTIRD stated the case. He said this was an action to recover compensation for one of the most bitter injuries which one man could receive from another; and in the present case, this injury was committed under circumstances of great aggravation. Both the plaintiff and defendant were officers in the Indiam army, and both of them belonged to the same regiment, the 6th Bom bay Native Infantry. The plaintiff went to India, where he remained for some time, but returned for the sake of his health, and met with Mrs. Mayor, the unhappy subject of the present action, at Margate, who was staying there with her mother, who was in ill health. An intimacy was formed between them, Mr. Mayor being then about twenty-six, and Miss Crisp, the maiden name of the lady, about eighteen or nineteen years of age. They were married in August, 1832, in Mary lebone Church, and in the month following they sailed for India, where they continued to live on terms of the greatest attachment and love. The greatest friendship subsisted be tween Captain Mayor and Captain Farquar, and on those oc casions, when the former went upon outpost duty, considered he had a friend and protector for his wife in the defendant. In March, 1841, Captain Mayor was ordered on active service, and was sent to the Bolan Pass, and in the military opera tions which followed, he acquired great distinction. In the meantime Mrs. Mayor had a son called Henry, whom it was thought advisable to send to England for his education, and his mother was to accompany him. Captain Mayor made every provision for her com fort that his means would allow, and he made arrangements that she should draw 201. a month, and more if necessary. When Mrs. Mayor arrived in England she sent her son to a school in Islington and resided in a respectable boarding house herself. Towards the clot& of 1841 Captain Farquar left India on leave of absence, and immediately after arriving in England he called upon Mrs. Mayor. Mrs. Mayor was living at this time in Langham-place, but shortly quitted and went to reside at Somers Town with Mr. Dunn, a friend of her family. Some time after this Mrs. Mayor went to Gravesend, and returned on the sth of June, 1843, to Mr. Dunn's, and on the day of her return Capt. Farquar called on her, and whatever it was that had occurred between them, Mrs. Mayor swallowed a quantity of laudanum which was sufficient to have produced death, if a doctor had not been sent for. Whether this act was caused by any repug nance, or from a sense of conscience, he did not know, but in a short time they made arrangements to go to Windsor. They went there, and stopped at a tradesman's, named Dodds. Captain Farquar took a front-room and a bed-room, which he engaged for the ensuing week. They were believed by the respectable tradesmen with whom they resided to be hus band and wife, and here, whatever doubt might have existed before, there could be little doubt that a criminal intercourse had taken place between them. There might be some con troversy as to the identity of Capt. Farquar, but he (Mr. Sergeant T.) believed he would be able to place that beyond all reasonable doubt, for one of the packages was marked " Capt. Farquar, 6th Bombay N. 1.," and he left a card behind him, with his name on it, of which evidence would be given. They afterwards went to Cheltenham, and resided with a person named Clark, and he would be able to prove that the greatest familiarity subsisted between them. They afterwards came back to London, but did not return to Mr. Dunn's, and in a short time they left for Boulogne with out any notice being given by Mrs. Mayor to any member of her family. They went from Boulogne to Paris, and though inquiries had been made there, the plaintiff had not been able to discover where they resided. During all this time the plaintiff had been engaged in the service of his country abroad, in which he had attained considerable distinction, and he received the most friendly letters from the defendant all the time. Sus picion of an improper intimacy existing between the parties was first excited by some anonymous communications which were sent to the friends of Captain Mayor, who sent a letter to his brother in India, informing him on the subject, but which he did not receive, and which was still unopened. When the affair became known, Captain Farquar sent Mrs. Mayor to India, and accompanied her to Southamp ton. She arrived in India and met her unsuspecting hus band, who was returning to this country in ill health, having ruptured one of the vessels of the leg. Both Captain and Mrs. Mayor returned to this country, when, for the first time, Captain Mayor heard of the afflicting circumstance of his wife's infidelity, and an immediate separation took place, and the present action was brought. Witne;ses were called, in support of these facts when we went to press. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Hannah Kelly, an old blind woman, with a little boy in her hand, was charged with begging. The prisoner, seems to be an incorrigible mendicant, who was brought before Mr. Greenwood yesterday, and it was proved that she had been begging with a sort of written pe tition. She was pardoned on that occasion, but this morn ing Police-constable 88 N found her begging in High-street, Islington, with the very same petition which the c ons t a bl e , who had her in charge on the previous day, had imprudently allowed her to regain possession of. Hemet, the Master of the Clerkenwell Workhouse, said she had been a pauper in the workhouse; she was com fortably fed and clothed, but discharged herself. The MAGISTRATE asked her what she had to say P—The prisoner replied, that she was striving to collect some money to take her over to her nephew, who lived on the other side of the river. Mr. GREENWOOD, in consideration of her age and infirmity, sent her to the Clerkenwell workhouse. A young man, named French, a pauper in the Clerkenwell workhouse, was charged with the following outrageous con duct. The prisoner,who has been repeatedly convicted at this Court for gross misconduct in the workhouse, became dis orderly at the door orl theprevious night, and when desired to leave, had the brutality to strike a poor weak-minded pauper, named Hounley, a violent blow on the forehead, and used bad language.—Committed for ten days. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Charles Smith, a mechanic, was charged with disorderly conduct at the Members' entrance of the House of Commons last evening. He was drunk, and obstructed the Members, a number of whom were at the time going in and out of the House. When requested to walk on by a policeman, he offered to fight him. He was taken into custody, and was not conveyed to the station-house without difficulty. The defendant said he was sorry for his conduct. He had been to witness the regatta, and had drank too freely.—He was fined ss. • UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Studley, a gentleman residing at Brixton, who was robbed by Mary Whitburn, his servant, o f money an d articles of jewellery, amounting to upwards of 1001., made the following application. The applicant stated, that the prisoner Whitburn was tried and convicted at the late sessions of the Central Cri minal Court, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. That since the robbery he ascertained that she was a woman of the most profligate habits, had robbed the families in whose service she lived, and although her mother was aware of the vicious conduct of her daughter, still she gave her an ex cellent character to him ; said that she was sober, honest, and industrious, and endowed with all the qualifications necessary for service in a gentleman's family. Owing to the character thus given of the convict by her mother, the applicant took her into his service, and she was no t in her situation more than three weeks, when she plundered him of property to the above amount. The applicant added that his object now was to punish the mother for giving her daughter a fictitious character and thus enabling her to rob her empl o y ers . Mr. TRILL'. said the mother certainly deserved a severe punishment for the manner in which she acted on the occa sion, but he regretted to say that she was not amenable to the law, as she had not given the character in writing. Mr. Studley having expressed his regret at the informa tion, then withdrew. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BIBURY CLUB MEETING.—THURSDAY.
