VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT Baum) PALIN V. GATHERCOLE. This case, which:was expected to come on to-day, on ahotion to commitlthe defendant, was not mentioned till the rising of the Court. The petitioner, the Rev. Palin, the Rector of Stafford, Essex, and the defendant, the Rev. Alichael Augustus Gathercole, the editor of the Churchman newspaper, who had been ordered in contempt for disobeying an injunction that had been granted against him. At the rising of the Court, Mr. JAMES RUSSSLL said he had a motion to make for a committal for:contempt, but as the defendant had given a counter notice of motion to dissolve the in junction, he would _delay his motion till that was brought on and disposed of. It is generally believed that the reverend defendant will defend himself, and that the whole matter is put off till the next motion day. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN. This was to traverse to an inquisition on a petition of right, which was tried at bar. The verdict had been given on the facts for the supplicant, bnt the statute of limitations had been pleaded, and also that the debt had not occurred during the reign of her present Majesty. On these pleas a verdict had passed for the Crown. The Solicitor-General had also on the first issue requested the Court to put it to the jury whether a certain specific sum had been paid by the Government of France to that of England, in satisfaction of this claim of the Baron de Bode. On this issue the jury found for the Crown. Mr. M. D. ; HILL now moved for a rule nisi to have the first issue found for the suppliant, on the ground that the question submitted to the jury did not arise from the traverse to the inquisition, but from an allega tion in the petition with which the Court had nothing to do. Also for a rule to enter up judgment for the suppliant, notwithstanding the finding as to the statute of limitations, and as to the fact of the debt hav ing: accrued in a former reign, inasmuch as the statute of limitations did not apply to cases of petitions of right, and that the fact of the debt having accrued in a former reign, had nothing to do with the matter at issue. The COURT granted the rule on all the paints. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commmission GOOLBURN.) IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT BANNISTER, DRAPER, OF PORTSEA. The bankrupt, whose examination by Mr. E. James we gave at length in our yesterday's paper, was this Jay brought up for re-examination, and when asked if he wished to add anything to his statement respect ing Williams, said that he had gone that morning up to Oxford-street, and at the Boar and Castle recog nised the same waiter, who distinctly recollected seeing him (the bankrupt) there with another person, aid that person afterwards taking away goods from the room they occupied. The waiter was then in Court, if his Honour would examine him. Mr. E. JAMES submitted that on the face of that case the answers of the bankrupt bad not been satis factory, and that therefore his Honour, in the exercise of his duty, should give him into the custody of a messenger of that Court. He thought that on looking at the whole of the examination the story bore inter nal evidence of having been fictitiously concocted, and he (Mr. James) was as certain that the person Williams was an ideal personage, as that the name Williamson, in which parcels of goods were sold, was a name adopted for the occasion. The Learned Counsel then recapitulated the main features of the case, and contended that the whole account was just such a one as a man inventing a plausible story would relate. It was laid down in Blackstone, that a general answer by a bankrupt that he lost, by selling goods under prime cost, was perfectly unsatisfactory. In his first item he specified goods sold to Moses and Son of the value of 1,0401., but when closely pressed he is forced to admit that he did not sell more than 7501. worth, thus saddling himself with a sum of about 3001. Looking at the whole circumstances under which the bankrupt stood before the Court, he thought that his Honour would be but doing simple justice between the creditors and the bankrupt by ordering his committal into custody. Mr. LUCAS, in replying for the bankrupt, contended that some limit should be applied to the term unsatis , factory. It was well known that in the trade there were goods known as "job goods," which were fre quently sold at half their value ; and, according to the bankrupt's own statement, he met this man Williams, who assisted him to dispose of such. The bankrupt had affirmed the truth of that transaction upon oath, and his Learned Friend Mr. James could only assert that it was fictitious. Mr. Commissioner GOULBU RN reminded the Learned Counsel that he was not there to argue the question of fact, but whether the answer of the bankrupt to a certain question, or the whole tenor of his examina tion, was satisfactory. Mr. LUCAS thought the very best test of the satis factory nature of the bankrupt's answer was its truth. All that they were to inquire was, was there any thing inconsistent on the face of his statement with what might have happened ? He thought that his answers had been entirely consistent, and he thought also that the Court would feel convinced that they might have had their origin in the truth, and that therefore it could not exercise the extreme jurisdic tion sought for by Mr. James. Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN said that the case had not occupied more time than its importance de served or demanded. The case was somewhat out of the ordinary course in all its parts, and it would therefore, he thought, be the proper course for him briefly to review the whole proceedings. The facts were these, and they were very extraordinary. It appeared that he had commenced business with a capital of 7221., and increJible as it might seem, be in four months— the period which elapsed from the commencement of his business till the date of his fiat— he had obtainedgoods to the amount of 17,03:3/. Os. 11d., and this, too, at a time when he was leading a most infamous and profligate life; to use his own words—in saloons, and theatres, and similar places—at a time when he had depits in different parts of the country, in Southampton, in Derby, and other places, for the the Thefi namely, bankrupt, t i o t g a e p t pe r al o d f , h th a e d se b g u o t od on s e , purpose of disp os i ng o f th ese goo d s t o an y p erson an d objectrst, at an y fromprice. and then to enjoy in some foreign clime the amount received in this fraudulent manner ; but by the activity of his creditors—and especially was praise due to Mr. Quilton—he was captured in the island of Madeira, and brought back to this country. But the question was, were the answers given by the bankrupt sufficient to satisfy any reasonable person ? Was it altogether, he would ask, out of the range of probabi lity that this story of the bankrupt was true. He met, it appeared by his own statement, this person, whom he had formerly known, and his wicked pur pose—for it was nothing else —bein g u pp ermost in his mind, he said at once to 'Williams, " Can you sell some goods for me ?" He answered, " I can. He (the Learned Commissioner) did not find the state ment so grossly improbable that he could commit the bankrupt to prison, from which he could not perhaps get free unless by perjuring himself —taking it for granted that the present story were true. But then this other question arose, what was to be done with him ? He had kept no books, his accounts were made up from memery and wholly unsatisfactory. He would, taking all circumstances into consioeration, adjourn the further hearing of the case sine die. Mr. REID, solicitor for the creditor under the fiat, in reference to the credit given so readily to the bankrupt, said that the bankrupts were in very ex cellent repute in Derby, and their accounts were well kept up with the highly respectable house of Phillips, of Manchester, which recommended him to other houses in the trade. It was impossible for them to know of his irregular proceedings in London, and therefore it was that credit was given to the amount stated in these proceedings. He then mane an applica tion under the 32d and 35th section of the sth and 6th Victoria, e. 120, which orders, that where the bankrupt has removed, concealed, or embezzled goods to the amount of 101., he shall be prosecuted by the assignees in the Criminal Court. _ Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN—You may take the order. I think this a most proper case in which to put the Act of Parliament in force, and punish the bankrupt. TIIE NEW JUDGE.-Mr. Erle was this morning sworn in heron the Lord Chancellor as one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas, after having gone through the ceremony of being made a sergeant-at-law. He was introduced by Mr. Sergeant Wilde and Mr. Ser geant Talfourd. The Learned Judge afterwards pro ceeded into the other Courts, and went through the usual formalities. The Learned Judge will take his seat in Court to-morrow morning. SPIRIT of the PCBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The quiescent state of the political atmosphere in Ireland has experienced a slight inter ruption. Dr. Maunsell—whose speech in the Dublin Corporation in favour of rotatory Parliaments ex cited considerable interest among all parties in Ireland at the time of its delivery—has published his oration as a pamphlet, and appended to it an elaborate " Note, on the present state of political parties in Ireland.". The position which Doctor Maunsell occupies in the Conservative party, would give considerable importance to any publication on the state of political parties which might issue from his pen ; the causes he assigns for the present disorganised state of that party in Ireland, and the telling blows he aims at the Government, give ad ditional interest to his present production. Apart from Dr. Maunsell's proposed remedy for Ireland's maladies, by holding the Parliament in Dublin once in three years, or oftener—the fallacy of which we de monstrated at the time it was broached by the Learned Doctor in his speech before the Dublin Corporation —there are soma facts and opinions put forth in the " Note," which, emanating from one whose position enables him to see and know what is passing around him, will excite considerable interest on this side of the Channel. Assuming, as an unquestionable fact, " that the policy of English statesmen has, from the remotest periods, led them to govern Ireland, through the medium of a party," Dr ; Maunsell attributes the present disorganised and enfeebled state of the Irish Pro testant party to the dissolution of the Orange lodges. "The revival of the Orange Institution in 1830," was, according to Dr. Maunsell, " a general party movement —the result of there-action that succeeded the depression of the Protestant party by the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill di 18'29. It was actively supported by the aristocracy of this country, and was joined in by the middle and lower classes, under the belief that it was at least favourably regarded, if not directly en couraged, by those English statesmen who then formed the Conservative opposition in Parliament. The head of the movement was a Prince of the blood ; its responsible, and often active local agents, were the highest of the Irish aristocracy, and included many members of both Houses of Parliament." The connivance of Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington in the proceedings of the Orange men was often asserted during the proceedings in Parliament which resulted in the breaking up of the confederacy. The fact that deputations were given by the Grand Master to non-commissioned officers in the army, empowering them to constitute Orange lodges 6 their respective regiments, was proved beyond all question. The doings of the Duke of Cumberland, the " Prince of the Blood" alluded to by Dr. MauNsaLL, and his man-of- all-work, Colonel Fairman, were established in evidence. The direct breach of the Articles of War which these pro ceedings in the army involved ; their dangerous re sults on military discipline; and their unconstitutional character and tendency—of these no doubt could be entertained. Yet the " English statesmen " who passed the Cetholic Relief Bill did not hesitate to sanction the establishment of these Orange Institutions, and to defend to the last their introduction into the army, for the purpose of neutralising and counteracting the political power conferred on the Catholic population by that measure ! Such is the statement made by Dr. Maun sell, who reproaches these "English statesmen"—the "leaders of the Conservative opposition," with even tually abandoning the Orange lodges to their fate. "The Whigs were wise in their generation; they persevered in their assaults upon Irish Orangism until, in a moment of panic, the English Opposition leaders were weak enough to advise, and their Irish allies in the House of Commons were imbecile enough to per petrate, the act of pusillanimous treachery which led to the dissolution of the Orange body. This act," continues Dr. Maunsell, " was the beginning of that breaking up of the Irish Protestant party which is now all but finally accomplished." We desire no stronger confirmation of the imputation upon Sir R. Peel's dishonesty in the matter of Roman Catholic Emancipation than is here supplied. It furnishes a clue to the practical exclusion of Catholics from posts of honour' and of trust, under Sir Robert Peel's ad minis'ration of the Government. It explains why— notwits'anding the removal of Catholic disabilities by the Legislature — the insidious distinctions between Catholics and Protestants were kept up, and the contests between the professors of rival creeds were continued. STANDARD.—" There is some soul of goodness in things evil," says Shakspeare ; and we so far subscribe to the proposition as almost to regret the reign of the Whigs, for we do not recol lect a single day of the Whig dynasty upon which the journalist had to ask himself the question, that now recurs with such painful fre quency—" What has one to write about ?" The Whigs were indeed capital hands at raising food for newspapersa—such benefactors to the press as Sultan Amurath was to the owls of the desert, whom he provided for amply with " ruined villages." Sir Robert Peel will do nothing for our order—we have no pleasant speculations of European wars, Canada rebellions, defeats and disgraces in Asia, monster meetings in Ireland, Chartist risings in England— not even a falling revenue and a lively per spective of national bankruptcy, wherewithal to interest our readers. All is peace abroad, in spite of' some of us; peace at home, notwithstanding the laudable exertions of others : all is peace, and the Three per Cents, are at or above par. We have nothing to engage us but deliberations upon the best means of improving the condition of the labouring classes, and tattooing the face of the country with railroads • but, as Mr. Hood says, " There's no romance in that." The truth is, we are hard " put to; t" for topics, and the public dies not deal fairly with us if it fails to make allow ance for a little impropriety and a great deal of sameness—oh, do not call it dullness—in our lucubrations. Let our condition be candidly considered. Write we must, but what ? Essays, in the manner of the " Spectator," " Guardian," " Rambler ?" This is easier said than done. But, were we as competent to the task as we are the re verse, would the people read our essays upon abstract topics, such as engaged the pens of Addison, Steele, and Johnson ? Are the treasures bequeathed by those great masters in fact read to the extent that they ought to be by professedly reading men ? We fear not. Sure at least we are, that of the readers of newspapers not one in a hundred would read such essays as those we speak of. The age is practical and specific; people read with a view to some distinct object to be obtained, some well-known interest to be defended, or some well defined danger to be resisted. When we are left without these resources, what have we to do ? Why, there is nothing, for it, but to try to magnify some thing—a Otaheite affair, or the misdoings of the Bridgewater Union, or the disposal of the Old Fleet Prison, or to imitate the respectable example of rats, who, shut up in a trap without food, relieve the monotony of their position by biting and eating one another. The exaggerations and the squabbles of the newspapers always bear an exact ratio to the paucity of topics, and the absurd extra vagance to which we push the one and the os e t x a c b es s s u i rd ve bitterness with which we prosecute the other,may p oi al ways be taken as the best pr oof of public pros perity, and of course of good Government. We h ave afe n w t s such our att proofs en tio before to u a s n. example The [Morning ofin Chronicle exaggeration, not merely in the details of the affair referred to, but in the importance imputed to the whole subject : Fbaerni prices,dt de livered ANDpogrspre-paid, pfmr l al m oi dwo : noR withoT quality, Rbl lowest " In the Times newspaper of yesterday appears the following advertisement from nlievxert " To it lanors next, the Bth tBtoothws h. chests ouL EGG-MERCHANTS eet o itne f r e st g , f e r t s e Wro t including cartage in, for cash on delivery, to W. L ~New Corn Exchange Tavern, Mark-lane.' " In another and more conspicuous part of the paper, in a communication from Portsmouth, appears the fol lowing paragraph : " Upwards of 100/. worth of rotten egg shay been purchased within the last few days from the various e Fen im porters in this and the adjacent towns, b 7 London agents, for service on the 9th inst, in London, "This is egging on the ruffians and blackguards of the metropolis with a vengeance ? From 300 to 500 chests of eggs, of low quality' (of a hio quality ?) to olio order ; 1001. worth of rotten eggs purchased in one day at one town, with the advantage of five clear days to keep' and do due honour to the pageant of Saturday next. The Times is determined that nothing shall be wanting to complete the ovation of Mr. Alderman Gibbs. " We have taken no part in the discussion about Mr. Gibbs's accounts—not because we did not think his conduct highly censurable, and still more foolish. But another and a competent tribunal will decide upon the worthy magistrate's guilt or innocence. Until that decision is come to, we will not pronounce him to be guilty. We have some reason to think that the decision will prove him innocent. If it should turn out that he has only been guilty of great and foolish obstinacy—of what people call ' pig-headedness'—we think most men will be disposed to think that he has already suffered quite enough for such offence. But under no possible circum stances can the brutal persecution threatened in the dis • graceful paragraphs we have quoted be justified. If Al derman Gibs were a common malefactor, every just and honourable feeling would revolt against such an outrage. Everybody knows how easily the refuse of a city like this can be incited to outrages like those to which they are in vited by the correspondents and advertisers of the Times, and how malignant and interested opponents can meta morphose such an outbreak of venal blackguardism into 'an indignant expression of public opinion. But we hope the only effect of such abominable proceedings will be to awaken the sympathy of men hitherto indifferent, or even hostile, and at once protect a fellow-citizen from insult and danger, and save the metropolis from the dis grace of tolerating the tyranny with which it is menaced: , We give the article at length, because we admire the good spirit of the Whig journalist, and concur very ge nerally in its opinions. We make the extract, however, chiefly as an example of exaggeration--1001. worth of rotten eggs (we suppose no one would knowingly give 101. for all the rotten eggs in the world), purchased to pelt a Lord Mayor ! Why, there is not one such egg in preparation ; and we will venture to say that there is not a being above the most degraded class in London, who would use such a missile upon such an occasion, how abundantly soever they might be provided for him. This is all mere trash, ex aggerated trash, but not. as the Chronicle seems to fear, brutalising trash. The English peop'e are in no danger of lapsing into brutality upon such suggestions. Even thirteen years ago, when advised to resort to the use of " brickbats and bludgeons" in the political contest, the Londoners at least proved themselves " wiser than their teachers" and the in tervening thirteen years have not been wasted with out improvement.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 6. THOMAS V. DUNN. This was an action upon an agreement, in which the jury found upon the principal count for the defendant, the point left to them by the Judge (the Lord Chief Justice) having been whether the signature of the de fendant had been forged. The plaintiff now moved the Court for a new trial, on affidavits that he was prepared to disprove the allegation of forgery. Their LORDSHIPS, having part-heard the application, adjourned the further hearing till to-morrow, and the Court rose. NEWTON V. R:)E. In this action for libel, of which the particulars have been frequently before the public, the plaintiff, a bar rister, applied for a rule nisi to enter a verdict in his favour, upon the counts which the jury had found for the defendant.—Rule nisi granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M SION-BO USE. Two well-dressed women of the town, named Bridget Williams and Mary Euston, were brought befure Alderman Wilson, under the following cir cumstances : About eight or nine weeks ago a gentleman was met, at a late hour of the night, in Thames-street, by a female, who contrived to rob him of a small bag, containing 451. He subsequently appeared at the Mansion-house, and charged Mary Euston with the robbery. As, however, he could not positively swear to her identity, and it appeared on being searched at the station-house the woman was found to have no property about her, the case was, after a strict inves tigation before the Lord Mayor, which was adjourned from day to day, discharged, in consequence of a fatal deficiency in the evidence. Mary Euston, as might be expected, solemnly protested her innocence, but she, at the same time, intimated to his Lordship that she knew the woman who had committed the rob bery, although she could not tell her name or ad dress. It is proper to state that it is a general prac tice with women who combine the two characters of prostitute and thief, to contrive., with the assistance of some ruffian of the male sex, to lighten the pockets of gentlemen who stay out rather late at dinners, not withstanding the activity of the City police. On Tuesday night, as a policeman was in King William-street, he heard a violent shrieking, and upon going to the spot :'rote whence it came, he saw the Mary Euston, who had been previously charged, quarrelling with Bridget Williams, the other pri soner, The former, in her rage, said she would let out all she knew, and then aocused her adversary of having stolen the money about which she had suffered so much. They were both taken to the station-house, where Mary Euston said that Bridget Williams had promised to give her money to fee counsel to get her out of trouble if she would not split; but that in stead of assisting her, the latter went out of the way until all the cash was spent, and therefore the whole lousiness must come to light for the punishment of such ingratitude. The policeman said that Mary Euston distinctly accused Bridget Williams in the station-house, not only of having committed the robbery, but of having basely broken the promise to send her a sovereign for not " splitting.' That Bridget Williams did not deny the fact charged, but, on the contrary, stated the number of 10/. and Si. note, contained in the bag, and admitted that she had spent the whole of the money. Alderman WILSON (to Bridget Williams)—So you robbed the gentleman between you, and when you went off with the money you determined to keep it all yourself ? Bridget Williams—Oh, upon my word, my Lord, I never had a shilling of anybody's money. She came to me quite sudden and tore my clothes. Mary Euston—l never saw her since she refused to help me out of trouble till last night, and as she be haved so treacherously, I resolved to split. I know she robbed the gentleman. Alderman WILSON—How did you know anything about the robbery, except you were both together when it was effected ? Mary Euston—l heard it. Alderman WasoN--And a>hy did you not give information of it before ? Mary Euston—l did not know it so exactly as I do now. She told me, if it went to trial, she would pay the expenses. Alderman WthsoN—Well, I hope you have both money enough to fee counsel now, for I think you wnl want counsel's assistance. One of the officers stated that there were three or four of the " swell-mob," who were known to be the associates of the prisoners, prowling about the Man sion-house. When, however, the Alderman directed some of the police to take any persons of the descrip tion into custody, and place them at the bar, he was informed that they had vanished, The Alderman then remanded the prisoners. An old Frenchman, named Jonas Legrand, was brought up, charged with having picked a lady's pocket of eighteen.pence. There Is an odd circum stance connected with the history of the prisoner. A City policeman stated that between three and four o'clock on Friday, as he was doing duty at the west entrance of the Royal Exchange, he saw the prisoner, who was covered with a cloak, busy at work in trying the pockets of females in the crowd. The prisoner afterwards left the crowd, but having taken off his cloak and hung it over his arm, soon returned and got into the midst of the multitude. Witness, who suspected the prisoner's intention from the com mencement, continued to watch him, and soon saw him lift up a lady's gown, and evidently pull away his hand. Witness 'seized him by the wrist, and he im mediately dropped a shilling and a sixpence on the ground. The lady, upon being told that shp had been robbed, put her hand in her pocket and said she had lost eighteen-pence. The lady confirmed the greatest part of Ow man's evidence, and Alderman WILSON having been informed that the prisoner was an old offender, committed him for trial at the Central Criminal Court, Gooch, the principal turnkey at the Compter, sub sequently mentioned that, on a former occasion, when the old Frenchman was in prison for picking pockets, he used to amuse himself in giving lessons Co the boyi in that art, and advanced them so considerably in the mystery, that one of them so adroitly whipped the handkerchief out of the pocket of their instructor as wholly to escape his observation. Legrand, who despised the principle " arts perire sua," or falling a victim to his own cleverness, made an awful disturb ance in the prison upon missing his property, and his pupil, who proved to be really worthy of such a master, could not be prevailed upon to restore the handkerchief, which he considered he had fairly ob tained by such an exhibition of his superiority, until the turnkey interposed his power. M. Legrand justi fied the vigorous means he had adopted for restitu tion upon the maxim of " honour amongst thieves." FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDEN'f• Yesterday the inquest was for the third time resumed before Mr. Carter, on the body of Edward Everest, a waterman, who lost his life on the 25th ult., by his boat coming in collision with the Waterman steamer No. 6. The evidence previously given was very conflicting. The body of William Morgan, a seaman, who perished with the deceased, has net been recovered. Ralph Sutton, waterman (who had been at the time standing on the new Tunnel-pier), saw the steamer and the skiff about fifteen yards apart ; the steamer, going at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour, stopped im mediately she struck the skiff The captain was on the paddle-box, and witness did not think he could prevent the accident. A schooner was aground by the lower Tunnel-pier, which clawed the accident Robert Wilson, a waterman, said, he did net see the occurrence, but he came to speak as to the situation of the schooner, and the effect of the eddy caused by it. Mr. C. Hay, a juror, and a member of the Court of Assistants of the incorporated Watermen and Lighter men's Company, said, " Oh, if this man saw nothing Of the accident there is no occasion to hear him." The CORONER—This witness is here to speak of facti, and those facts are for the future consideration of the lury. The witness then went on to confirm the la:t witness's evidence. The CORONER said, perhaps the jury were satisfied en eddy was caused by the schooner, and it would be for them to say what effect that had in causing the collisiei. Mr. Hay observed, that there were legal gentlewea present, and they would do as they thought fit. Every' bo iy knew an eddy was caused by the schooner. Mr. Clarkson said it was not his intention to lead the jury. All he wished was, to suggest what might be e saving of time, and not to ask advice from the gentle' man who had made the remark. Mr. Hay said there had been remarks made which ha been insulting to the whole jury ; and he bad loader . stood the foreman had undertaken to speak to the Co roner on the subject, and he was surprised he had not done so. Mr. Clarkson appealed to the Coroner whether any re' mark of his could be construed into an insult? The CORONER—Certainly not, Sir. It will be impor, sible, gehtlemen, to carry on the inquiry if thi s state 424 things is to continue. Mr. Clarkson then handed to the Coroner the names of the persons on board the steamer, and left it to hio whether he would call them or not, as he had deter mined, after what had taken place on the last day, to offer no evidence himself. The captain, who was pre sent, would not probably be called, but the mate and the man at the wheel, who were under his control, w ere competent to be heard. The CORONER was of opinion that those under the captain's control might be heard, but the captain could' not be sworn, though he might make any voluntary state' ment. Mr. Hay—Suppose the mate chose to do anything without the captain's authority, would the captain the° be responsible ? The CORONER said, if the mate took charge of the vesi sel during the unavoidable absenc e of th e ca pt a i n , 61 anything involving loss of life took place, th e ma t e woul d be responsible. Samuel Brisco, the mats of the steamer Waterman I 4° 6, said she was going at the rate of ten miles an hour , but, if she was going at the half-speed, the aocitle° could not have been avoided. George Thornton, the engineer, received instruction! from the captain to ease the ste amer , t o s t op her, int: turn her astern. He immediately stopped her withoe . easing her, and then turned her astern. Although h e could get the engine to back in about eight seconds, the boat would go three times her length on a flood tide be' fore she would come back. The orders were given. sa q.dekly as possible, and as quickly obeyed. The Foreman of the Jury inquired how far the boil would go with the flood tide, if the eng i nes were ste er' and not put astern ?—(A laugh.) The witness, with great simplicity, ansTvered—WbP she would go a long way, Sir ; she would go to Batter' sea. —(Laughter.) The jury, after four hours' disceission, returned a V eri f diet of—" Manslaughter agaire s t S amuel S i ms, the me t of the Waterman steamer No. 6, for killing and sla7 Edward Everest." The verdict was received with very great surprise 11 the people in the room, which was crowded to excess.

Yesterday Mrs. Martha Brassington, the school mistress of the Bethnal-green Union Workhouse, was summoned before Mr. Broughton upon a charge of having ill-treated one of the children under her care, named Jane Kingston, ten years of age. It appeared from the girl's statement that she had been for a considerable period in the workhouse, of which her parents, with four of their children besides herself, were also inmates. She had been only three weeks under the care of the defendant, who had beaten her during that time on several occasions. On the evening of the 15th of October last, after par taking of supper, consisting of bread and cheese, with the rest of the children, she went into the scullery to procure a draught of water, not having been supplied with any at the table, when a girl named Gornder, who was employed in washing up the tins, told her that she had no business in that apartment, and threatened that she w ould report her conduct to the mistress. The defendant soon afterwards came up stairs, and on being made acquainted with her con duct, she struck her several severe blows with her hand on the back and shoulders. The defendant then ordered her to go down on her knees and beg her pardon, and although she immediately did so, the beating was afterwards renewed, and she was finally sent to bed. On the following morning she went to her mother, who was separated from her in another part of the building, and acquainted her of the ill usage she had received. The girl's mother stated that she was first made ac quainted with the fasts by another child who wit nessed the infliction of the punishment, but whose name she declined to mention, as the defendant had threatened to beat her informant in a similar manner if she could discover her. On examining the child's person, she found that her back and shoulders were completely black and blue, and covered with bruises. She immediately complained to Mr. Fairfield, the master, of the ill-treatment the child had sustained, when that person told her if it had been he instead of the governess, he would have beaten her ten times worse. Witness then told him that she would go be fore a magistrate and seek redress, and demanded her discharge for that purpose, but the master at first re fused to grant it, and told her that if she did go before a magistrate she should go in the workhouse garb, but he ultimately allowed her to leave the house. She requested the master, immediately after the child had been ill-used, that he would allow it to remain with her, but he positively refused to do so until all the marks on her person had disappeared, when her re quest was complied with, and the child had been since excluded altogether from the school. The witness added, that in consequence of her interference on behalf of the child, she had been since compelled to work at the wash-tub, although she had a child at the breast, and that the only food allowed her was dry bread and water, or occasionally some gruel. Rowland, the summoning officer, deposed that he examined the child's person the day after the occur rence, and found its back and shoulders impressed with finger marks, and very much discoloured. In reply to the charge, the defendant said that the complainant was a very ward and disobedient child, who was constantly infringing the regulations of the house ; and that having done so on the present occa sion, she had certainly given her a few trifling slap In the back, but felt confident that no marks could have resulted from them. The defendant called four girls, inmates of the establishment, who proved that the complainant had infringed the rules of the house on the occasion alluded to, and who described the conduct of the defendant as being uniformly kind and indulgent towards the chil dren under her control. Mr. BROUGHTON said that there was great diffi culty in deciding on cases of this description, but he was clearly of opinion that the defendant had, in the present instance, gone beyond the bounds of modera tion in the punishment she had inflicted on the child, and he should require her to enter into her own re cognizance in 30/., and find two sureties in 201. each, to answer the charge at the sessions. BROMLEY. Jas. Leech, a man in the employ of Mr.P. IL Dyke, one of the magistrates for Kent, attended before Sir C. Farnaby, the Rev. T. Scott, and Mr. Goodhart, to answer an information laid under the Assessed-tax Act, charging him with being upon certain lands belonging to Mr. Fox and Sir John Lubbock, with a dog and gun, in pursuit of game, without having a certificate, for which . offence he had forfeited a penalty of 201. Mr. Fox, a brewer, and the owner of some land at Farnborough, deposed that on the day named in the information he was in one of his fields and he heard a shot fired, and a few minutes afterwards he observed a dog apparently hunting for game. Shortly after wards he saw the defendant, who had a double-barrel gun, go from the field into a plantation which ad joined it, belonging to Sir John LubbLck, and the defendant asked him if he had seen the rabbit he shot at. Witness told him he had no business to shoot on his land, and defendant denied that he hal done so, adding that he had leave to shoot upon Sir John Lubbock's property. Witness had since, how ever, written, to Sir John, and ascertained that the defendant's statement was not true. Sir 0. FARNABY observed that the mere Consent was not sufficient, it bad been stated! over and over again that there must be an express command or authority. The defendant deni©d that he had shot upon Mr. Fox's land, and said that with regard to Sir John Lubbock's, he had the permission of that gentleman to shoot all the rabbits he could, on account of the depredations and mischief they committed upon the crops. Mr. Dyke here said he should wish to put the bench in possession of what he knew upon that matter, and he was accordingly sworn. He then stated that the defendant was jointly employed by him self and Dr. Taste to look over their property, and, as they had been planting very largely, he had in structions to destroy all the rabbits he could, on ac count of the injury they did the crops. He had asked Sir John Lubbock, whose property adjoined theirs, whether he desired to preserve the game ; and, as he was a large planter also, he very readily agreed that he had no desire to do so, and expressed his wil lingness to concur with them in destroying the rab bits with which they were so much infested, and which, as the Bench were well aware, did so much damage to the crops. He had, therefore, given the defendant orders to destroy all the rabbits he could, and he was sure that Sir John Lubbock was no part , : to the present proceeding, as his servants and the de fendant had frequently acted together to effect the very object which was now sought to be complained of. The Rev. Mr. SCOTT observed that where land was planted, rabbits, no doubt, did great deal of mischief. Mr. Dyke said they were overrun with them, and they occasioned very great injury. Sir C. FARNADY asked the complainant whether he saw Leach actually shoot upon his land ?—The com plainant replied that did not, but he saw his dogs hunting about in pursuit of game, and he contended that was sufficient. Sir C. FARNADY expressed his opinion that, under the circumstances, they could not convict, and he at the same time observed that if the complainant had any plantations he would no doubt be very grad to have the rabbits killed. The other magistrates concurred in the view taken of the matter by Sir C. Farnaby, and the informa tion was accordingly dismissed. lADVERIISEMENT.] A CERTAIN CURE FOR ASTHMA BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.--Read the following case:—James Holmes, a cotton-spinner, residing at Ancoates, Manchester, had been asthmatical for these last three years; he was frequently so bad, that when rising from his bed he could scarcely speak or draw his breath, and would cough sad spit for half-an-hour toge ther, and often thought he should be choked; he was touch reduced in strength, and after every other means of cure failed he used these wonderful pills, which have removed every symptom of asthma, and he is now as free from it as when he was a child.—Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at Professor Holloway's establish ment, 224, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine hroughout the civilised world.
