AN INVETERATE SMOKER.—Had great geniuses troubled themselves less about perpetual motion, the elixir of life, the philosopher's stone, and other equally discoverable matters, and devoted their ingenious minds to the concerns of every-day life, Mrs. Sarah Becket would not, perhaps, have been summoned for 1/. Is. by Mr. John Boucher. What is the debt for ?" asked Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS. " It's entirely a question of smoke," said Mr. John Boucher. " This lady took the first floor, furnished, of my house, Southbank, Regent's Park, at 1/. ls. per week. She occupied it for three days, and then left, paying me a week's rent, but refusing to pay for a week's warning." . " Most certainly," said Mrs. Becket, " I refuse to pay rent for these apartments—not because I did not, but because I could not occupy." " Why not," said Mr. Commissioner Dußois ? " Because, Sir, the front room hadn't a hole for the smoke to go out at." Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—What ! Had it no chimney ? Mrs. Becket—Oh, yes, but the smoke went up merely to come down again. The room was fit for nothing but curing bacon in. " Dear me, ma'm," said the plaintiff, " bow can you say so ? It cost me 5/. but the other day for a patent cow to the chimney to prevent it from smoking." Then your cow, Sir," replied the defendant, " is no better than the calf who put it there, for the chimney continues the most inveterate smoker a house could possibly be afflicted with." Mr. Commissioner Dußois said the smoking would not dispense with the week's warning. " Indeed, sir ! I am astonished to hear you say so," returned Mrs. Becket. " How would you like to occupy expensive apartments amidst eternal smoking ? I say eternal smoking, for it was smoke all day, and every day, and nothing but smoke. Not a single puff would go up the chimney if it would have saved me from suffocation." Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS-But half the chimneys in London smoke, and if this plea were to avail, land lords would come badly off, I am afraid. Mrs. Becket differed from Mr. Dubois. She was aware that different points of the compass are obnoxious to certain chimneys ; that a south-east wind is a down right asthma toione row of houses or one part of the town, while a north-west breeze is anything but con sumptive of the smoke of another portion of the me tropolis. Chimneys she knew were operated upon by different winds and the state of the atmosphere, much like some persons are at " full o' the moon," and in all these eases there could be no legal or equitable plea. The smoking of all these chimneys came under the head of "occasional inflictions," and were to be en dured under the consoling reflection " They can't be helped." Now, this was not the case with the chimney in the front room of the first floor of Mr. Boucher's house, South Bank, Regent's Park. " Sir," continued Mrs. Becket, addressing the Com missioner, "the smoking of this chimney does not par take of the nature of an epidemic ; it is a chronic com plaint ; in fact, if you'll excuse the expression, its con stitutional—it cannot help smoking." Mr. Boucher assured the Commissioner that such was not the fact. The chimney had had occasional clouds and fits of despondency ; in other words, it had smoked a little, but these fits had been most effectually dissipated by putting a cow on the top of the chimney pot, and an extra ventricle, in the shape of a hole made half-way up into the chimney of the next house. " The smoking has, I assure you," he added, in con clusion, " been quite cured, and at a considerable ex pense." Cured !" exclaimed Mrs. Becket. " Bless me ! why all the smoking in the world would not cure it. We (turning to the Commissioner) tried it every way, but it was worse than useless. We tried it with the win dows and doors open ; that was bad enough, though some of the smoke did find its way out of the room ; then we tried it with the door shut—that made it worse ; but when both doors and windows were closed, goodness me ! the smoke was enough to poison a sweep. In all winds it was the same, and when the slightest puff came down the chimney, the blacks flew about the room as large and as numerous as flies in a sugar basin." The plaintiff was sure that nothing short of a white squall could bring such blacks down that chimney. Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS said the plaintiff was entitled to a week's warning, notwithstanding the inve teracy of the chimney in the front room. A gentleman here stood forward, and said that the defendant was a client of the firm which he had the honour to represent, and that he was instructed to plead Mrs. Becket had no beneficial occupation of the apart ments, as, besides the smoky chimney, certain alterations were being made in the house during the three days that lady resided there. Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS was of opinion that there was a beneficial occupation, and ordered the 1/. ls. to be paid forthwith. Upon this decision, a tall, fierce-looking gentleman, who accompanied Mrs. Beckett, 'spoke in a very " double-barrel" tone to Mr. Boucher ; and, from the manner in which the latter replied, it appeared there was likely to be some more " smoke" evolved before the matter was settled. In such case it is to be hoped the lodgers may not be led to any occupation that is not beneficial. Sarah Salmon and John Seal, a couple of odd fish, took their respective places before Mr. Commissioner Dubois, as plaintiff and defendant, in a matter wherein the Salmon claimed 19 s . f rom t h e Seal. " 1 deals with this here man," began the plaintiff, a little bustling body, " and buys now and then a few wegetables on .him. T'other day I agreed for a shil ling's worth, and as I heard my babby a crying, I was in a hurry to give him his titty, and so I pays the man a sufferin instead of a shilling." Mr. Commissioner Dußois—Do you mean to say you paid your money away without looking at it ? Plaintiff—l paid him on the " sly." Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—On tl4 " sly !" Ex plain yourself. Plaintiff—Why there was a man in my room as I didn't want to let know as I'd got any money, 'cause he's always a borrowing on me ; so I puts one hand into my pocket and picks out a shilling, as I thought, from my pus. Mr. Commissioner Dußois—How could you do that, woman ? It appears quite impossible. Plaintiff—But I did, though. A long argument ensued, and the curse—a long one with slides—was handed to the jury, the Learned C om _ missioner being of opinion that the feat, as described by the plaintiff, was " incredible." The Learned Com missioner, in this part of the case, did not apparently ex hibit that remarkable acuteness which is his peculiar characteristic, for all doubt on the subject might have been in d twinkling dispersed had the woman been asked to give the Court a repetition of the piece of purse le gerdemain. Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—What are you ? Plaintiff—l keeps a mangle, and sells sitch things as a few taters and turnips, and other wegetables. Mr. Commissioner DOBIOS—And can you swear to the amount of money in your purse ? Plaintiff—l'd saved the sufferin up, by pinching here and paring there ; and I'd put it that morning in my pus, with four shilliegs to pay my landlord. The defendant was required to give his explanation. The defendant, a rough costerrnonger, had that pecu liar collection of features which would have led most persons to think That the name of " Seal" was a mis nomer, and that that of " Pike" ought to be substituted. " On the solid verd and honour of a man," said the defendant, " I never seed or heerd anything of this good ooman's suffrin. I've taken pounds and pounds of her money, and that ere she can't deny." Mr. Commissioner Duaors.—She don't ; but she says you have taken a pound too much. Defendant—Vot, me ! I'd scorn the haction ; I'm too honourable to do sitch a transaction. I'd souner give a poor hooman a suffrin 'an I'd wrong her out of a shilling. Mr. Commissioner Dow's—Well, tell the jury about dealing for the vegetables. Defendant—Vy you sce, this ere gud lady cleans me out for thirteen pence. She honors out, says she " I can't pay you to-day," at the werry same time she shoves a shilling into my fist this here vay—(holding his hand behind him with a knowing air)—and then she vispers, as it Vos ony gammon, because she didn't vant nobody to know as she hadn't got no money. Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—This so far confirms the woman's story. Defendant—Veil, ven I gets home to have a mouthful of grub, in comes this here gud lady, and says, " Yourr , man," says she, " you knows what I'm come about." " Blow'd if I know," says I, " vithout it's about that ere shilling as you giv'd me." It warn't no shilling," says she, "it was a suffrin." " A suffrin," says I, .‘ if I've got ever a sufferin, vy, it must be among the silver vich I've given every farden to my vife." So my vife fetches down the tumbler vere she keeps her money, an d ye all looks i n it, an d I v i s h I may never come here ag i n if any on us could see a suffrin there. Mr. Commssioner DUBOIS—What does it si g nify whether y ou saw a sovereign in the glass o r no t ? if you had the sovereign, and intended to act dishonestly, you'd take care to conceal it. Defendant—Vouldn't rob nobody of nothing. Vy, I vonce took a golden half-suffrin for a sixpence from a lady, and I vent, honour bright, and give her all the Ichange back agin. Plaintiff—But you heard a policeman was after you. Defendant—l'll take my hoath as the change vos sent back afore ever the policeman could get a sight on me. " Oh, gentlemen," added the defendant, appealing to the Jury, " I vouldn't take a false hoath for twenty nor forty shilling—•oh, no (clinching the matter), not for the wallue of my whole kit." Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—It's a question of credit, and it is for the Jury to say who they will believe. Defendant—lt's a worry hard ewe. Mr. Commissioner Dußois—No, a roguish one, if you had the sovereign. The Jury found for the plaintiff. Mr. Commissioner Dußois—You must pay the 195., Mr. Seal. Defendant—Von't never pay a brass fardin. You may take my body to execution, and ven I'm in quod I'll pay it like—like a cock. " Yes," said he, savagely, " I'il stick to it like old boots." Mr. Commissioner Dußois—(to the Jury)—Gentle men, I am now satisfied your verdict is right. PALACE COURT.-THURSDAY. PRICE sd, MONEY IVIARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—An " Opium Scrip" has been opened in the Money Market in Calcutta, in which cons : .derable business has been done ; and some of the S uperintendent's receipts have made their appearance la this country. The course which should be adopted by the British Government in regard to the settlement of the opium question is in our minds no longer attended with doubt. Capt. Elliot has now solemnly charged the Chinese Go vernment as accessories to the opium traffic, and as being regular parties to its existence, drawing profits annually fNm that branch of foreign trade. If such be the case, we at once repudiate the most remote intention of making the people of this country suffer to the extent of one farthing of the loss. The British Government should at once take a decisive course, and insist for indemni fication from the Chinese Government to the fullest extent. We doubt not that Captain Elliot is prepared to make good his words, and there fore we consider the ease free from further ob scurity. A sufficient naval and military force should be dispatched at once to Canton to seek for reparation, and, if not granted when demanded the expedition should immediately disembark their troops, and the fleet sail up the river. This, we under stand, will be an object of no very difficult accomplish ment. If it be ascertained that the Chinese authorities sanctioned this traffic, the first duty of the British Go vernment is to let it be seen that its subjects shall not be wronged with impunity. The question is one of fact. Foreigners can only know the laws of a country with which they traffic, by the interpretation given to them by the Government functionaries of that country ; and it the Chinese functionaries, for a long series of years, have allowed and profited by the trade in opium, the question how far they were justified in allowing and pro fiting by this trade is one between them and their Go vernment, with which the foreign traders have no con cern. It would be monstrous if a Government were to be allowed to take advantage of the wrong of its own officers. True, that opium was contraband ;we have frequently admitted that it was so, by the letter of the Chinese law. Bur when the people of one country have traded openly and with impunity with those of another for forty years, the usage becomes the law. The device which the Chinese Government contrived, to shield themselves from their participation in, and encouragement of, the opium trade, was to hold the Hong merchants responsible that the foreign ships had no opium on board ; but, on the other hand, these very persons bought the opium regularly. The Chinese authorities knew that they did so, and exacted heavy contributions from them for permission to carry on that lucrative branch of foreign trade, and were as much implicated as the supporters of the drug—much more so in fact, because, had it not been for the encouragement which they afforded to the traffic, the demand could not hare existed, and the culture of the poppy would not have been carried on to the extent which it has been, in order to supply the Chinese mar ket. We therefore consider that the seizure and cies struction of the opium was a most unjustifiable act of spoliation on the part of the Imperial Commissioner and his associates, and th a t th e G overnment o f t hi s country is bound to insist that the British merchants who were the owners of the article shall be fully indemnified by the Chinese Government. We say so as regards the past. The future is open for arrangement ; and if the Chinese make it a condition of our renewed intercourse that the trade in opium shall cease or be legalised, the ground is open for considering those conditions. But taking the whole case as regards our last forty years' inter course into consideration, and the decided charge of Cap tain Elliot, " that the traffic in opium has been chiefly encouraged and protected by the highest officers in the empire," we deem it clear that the people of this country ought not to pay one farthing of the loss which has been sustained by the destruction of the surrendered opium, and the British Goverment will act with shame ful pusillanimity if they do not obtain full and peremp tory satisfaction from the Chinese Executive. The sure course to do so is to take the high hand with these cunning and self-conceited people. To induce them to act justly, they must be taught to feel the necessity of submission ; and if they hesitate to make full reparation for the loss which our merchants have sustained by the destruction of their property, a British force ought to teach them that British merchants are not to be des poiled of their property with impunity. TI MES.— Though money has been comparatively easy during the whole of this week, there were some indications in the latter part of the day of a renewal of the pressure. No cause for this transpired even in the shape of rumour, but the increased caution in the mo netary circles was too obvious to be mistaken. Tlie foreign exchanges have undergone a further de cline this afternoon, which may possibly have had some thing to do with the feeling in the money-market above described. What many persons apprehend is, now that the credit of the Bank of England on Paris is ex hausted, and found, moreover, not to have answered the original purpose of it by giving a favourable turn to the exchanges, that the Bank Direction will have re- 1 course to some action in the home market in order to make money again scarce, and place trade, as the phrase is, again under the harrow. The rate on Paris was quoted to-day 23 32} to 35 ; Amsterdam 12. to 1, short ; Hamburg, 13. 91 to 10, at three months. This has been a holiday, kept with more than ordi nary strictness to-day, not only at the Stock-exchange, which as usual was closed, but by the jobbers, few of whom were to be found about their usual haunts, and fewer still inclined to the transaction of business. The unfavourable state of the weather, by which the regu lar receipt and transmission of prices and intelligence between this place, Paris, and other continental mar kets, has been interfered with, has no doubt contributed to this unwonted absence of all speculation. No prices of the different stocks and shares can be fairly quoted therefore. Early in the day Spanish were quoted nominally at 2Si sellers ; and Consols, 904 sellers for account. It is announced, and dwelt on with great satisfac tion, in the Indian papers, that the reduced rates of postage recommended in the report of the Post-office Commissioner, formerly referred to, have been sanc tioned with slight modifications, and were to come into operation throughout India from the Ist of October last. The importance of this reduction will be appreciated and felt by all classes, but to the native part of the community snore especially it must prove of particular benefit. A schedule of the new postage duties on letters, papers, and parcels, is given, of which a few items may suffice for the comprehension of those directly interested in India affairs in this country. For a letter not exceeding a quarter of a tola in weight the charge is to be half an anna for 100 miles, 1 anna for 200, 2 for 300, 3 for 400 and 500, 6 for 1,000, and for 1,400 miles and upwards, 8 annas ; for letters not exceeding 1 tola, but above a quarter of a tola, the rates are double those stated, and for each additional half tola weight a single postage to be added. For law papers, accounts, and vouchers attested as such with the full signature of the sender, 1 anna is charged per 100 miles, for weight not exceeding 3} tolas, 2 for 200, 4 for 300, and so on to 1,400 miles, for which 1 rupee is chargeable ; and double in all cases for packets above the specified weight, but not exceeding 6 tolas, single postage being added for each additional 3 tolas. For parcels sent by public bangy, not exceeding GOO toles in weight, nor 12 inches long by 12 deep, and 12 broad, or 2,160 cubic inches in size, the following will give an idea of the rates :—For 100 miles, weight not above 50 tolas, 3 annas ; for 200 miles, 6 annas ; for 300, 9 annas ; for 500, I 5 annas ; for 1,000, 1 rupee 14 annas ; for 1,400 miles and above, 2 rupees 10 annas. For 100 tolas' weight the rates are doubled ; for 250 tolas five. fold ; for 600 tolas twelvefold the charge for 50 tolas. For books, pamphlets, packets of newspapers, and writ ten or engraved papers sent by public bangy, not ex ceeding 40 tolas in weight, and packets in short covers, open at each end, the rates are—per packet not above 20 tolas, 1 anna for 100 miles ; .5 for .500, and so on to 14 annas for 1,400 miles and above, and double rates for all exceeding 20, but not above 40 toles. According to a letter of a Correspondent of the Bengal Harken., it appears a report was prevalent that Commissioner Lin had required that the opium bonded at Manilla should likewise be brought over to be con demned, and, with a view to enforce the demand, had threatened to cut off the supplies of provisions from Ma cao. Although, in corroboration of the report, Capt. Stayers, of the ship Cowasjee, is personally referred to, it arose most probably out of some misunderstanding, as the advices from Canton, on which it was apparently founded in the first instance, were only to the 11th o f June, and in subsequent advices to the 27th the rumour does not appear to be referred to. SUN.—We cannot quote any improvement this after noel.' in the Foreign Exchanges ; all the rates were heavy, and Bills extremely scarce. The firm of Messrs. Baring and Co. were in the market, on account of the Bank of England, but their assistance did not avail. The latest quotations were these :—Paris closed at 25 60 to 6 01, hamburg at 13 10 to 13 9,1 ; Frankf ort at 1 54 ; Amsterdam at 12 4 to 12 3i ; and Antwerp at 12 3. The Markets for Colonial produce looked more cheer ful th:s afternoon than th ey h ave d one for some time past. Of Plantation Sugar :3,400 hhds. and trs. were sold this week ; prices Is. per cwt. higher. Rum is ld. per gallon higher, in consequence of the announce ment of the Government contract for 80,000 gallons. As the sales of Tea will commence on Monday next, IConsiderable attention is directed to the market for China produce. T ea con ti nues i n brisk demand, and the d e l iver i es are l arge. O n M on d ay t h e pu bl ic sa l es will b eg i n , compr i s i ng upwar d s o f 64, 000 pac k ages. The arrivals off the Custom-house hare been limited owing to the boisterous weather. Some fears were en tertained for the safety of the Batavier (Dutch steamer), which it appears was driven back to Rotterdam. It is to be regretted that she has been detained, as she had on board a great quantity of commercial letters, to be forwarded by the British Queen steamer, which leaves Portsmouth to-morrow. As they will now be too late, there will be no opportunity of forwarding them for some days to come, and then only by one of the line of sailing packets, which will arrive out about ten or twelve days later. There were not, we believe, any private bargains en tered into either in the British or Foreign Funds this afternoon. Prices must be quoted nominally the same as they were at the termination of the business on Thursday afternoon. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The speeches delivered by Mr. Bradshaw, Dr. Rus sell, and other Tories, at the dinner in the Guildhall Concert-room of Canterbury, on Thursday week, and received by the clerical part of the audience in particu lar with such tumultuous applause, have, we underst an d, excited the strongest feelings of indignation and disgust in that city. A requisition has been forwarded to the Mayor, calling upon him to convene a public meeting for the purpose of addressing the Queen, in order that the citizens may have an opportunity of showing that they hold in detestation the treasonable language uttered and received with approbation in their town. The Mayor has appointed Tuesday next, the sth of No vember, for the meeting, which is to be held in the Guildhall. A correspondent, whose communication was accompanied by a private note, the signature of which, however, we were unable to decipher, observes, with reference to an article in the Chronicle of yesterday, " I really am astonished to see in your paper that the Tories medit a t e t h e d e th ronemen t o f our gracious Queen." The answer to this is, that sentiments im porting this wicked subterfuge or evasion were uttered by Jemes Bradshaw, Esq., Member for Canterbury, at the dinner in Canterbury above alluded to, at which were present the principal Tory gentry and clergy of that city and neighbourhood, and received not only without murmur or dissent, but with tremendous cheer ing. Among the persons present, were W. H. Bal dock, the Chairman ; H. P. Gipps, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Molesworth, the Rev. Dr. Russell, Sir John Honey wood, Bart., G. Gipps, Esq., W. Hyder, Esq., W. Delmar, Esq., J. Partridge, Esq., G. Curteis, Esq , and T. Starr, Esq., Mr. Croasdill ; the Reverends G. Wallace, J. Metcalfe, W. Delmar, T. Bennett, and J. Delmar ; T. King, C. Delmar, Sicard, R. S. Mackeson, Monins, R. Walker, C. Bal dock, P. Wood, Knocker, and G. Buckley, Esqs. ; Major Nearne, Lieutenant Bennett, Mr. Beatson, M. A., and other gentlemen of mark and influence among the Tories. The Tories may utter sentiments which they really do not entertain, but we can only infer their sentiments from their public avowals. How are we to suppose that rank treason would be so rapturously applauded, not by one or two individuals, but by the chief dignitaries of the Metropolitan see, and a large assemblage of Tory clergy and gentry, if the sentiments which were so applauded were not generally entertained by the party ? It will not, surely, be con tended that there is anything in the mental constitution of the men of East Kent, which would warrant us in considering them as distinct in feelings and opinions from the rest of their countrymen. Sir William Cour tenay has not, surely, infected with his madness Dr. Russell, Dr. Molesworth, and the rest of the divines who figured at the dinner. We are open to convic tion, and if evidence be produced that the clergy and gentry of East Kent assembled at Canterbury are re pudiated by the Tories in general, as a disgrace to the party, and that, so far from applauding the sentiments uttered by Mr. Bradshaw, and received with tre mendous cheers by his audience, they loathe and de test them, we shall be ready to receive it. But in the meantime, we feel ourselves justified in judging of the stock from this distinguished sample. Where in truth, arc we to look upon Tory opinions in all their purity, if not in a meeting of the c l erg y o f th e metro politan see and the first gentry of Kent? There is no meaning in words, if the language of Mr. Bradshaw is not treasonable : and were the Government disposed to tread in the steps of their Tory predecessors, and to drag Mr. Bradshaw and his clerical applauders before an honest and impartial jury of Englishmen, we think there need be very little apprehension of their failure to obtain a verdict of guilty. What does Mr. Bradshaw mean by telling the Queen of her mistake in think ing, " that if the monarchy lasts her time it is enough," and reminding her of " the forced abdication of the second James ;" that she is only " Quee n o f a faction," and that be will "resist to the death ill Government and unjustly usurped authority," if not that he considers himself absolved from allegiance to her Majesty, and is ready to force her to abdicate ? How could any man utter treason snore un equivocally ? The plea of insanity could alone, we pre sume, rescue these Tory traitors from the penalty of their treason, if the same measure of justice were meted out to them which has been meeted out to the Chartists. The Liberals of Canterbury arc about to do their duty. The time for the Tories to hare done theirs was when their ears were first struck by the revolting language of Mr. Bradshaw. We are quite sure that if language of the same treasonable import had been uttered in any meeting of Liberals, at any time during the last thirty years, the very first treasonable sentence uttered would have been the signal for one universal shout of reproba tion. A sense of ccnstitutional propriety has always been characteristic of Englishmen ; and it is but justice to the Chartists to allow that they were first corrupted by the exhortations to violence and bloodshed utttered by Oastler and his reverend colleague, who, in their character of Tories, have been often lauded in the journals of that party. When men meditate dethronement, it is but fair to suppose they bethink themselves of the means for effecting their purpose ; and as the man must be blind indeed who does not see that the forced abdica tion of Queen Victoria must open the succession to the King of Hanover, we are justified in supposing that those who really meditate the dethronement of her pre sent Majesty have been casting about for the means of bringing that event about. It is not by the assertions of individuals like our Correspondent, that the effect of a great public meeting is to be done away with. Here is the damning fact of the most treasonable sentiments being rapturously applauded, in an assembly of dignified clergymen, and the most distinguished Tory gentry of the capital of the metropolitan see. Whether policy may at last lead the Tories to seek to escape from the responsibility of the treasonable sentiments, it is not for us to say ; but, in the mean time, we feel justified in charging them on Sir Robert Peel and his supporters. (From the Times.) The Bills, for an endeavour to pass which the Mi nisters are commended by the Attorney-General, who visits the Lords with his censure for rejecting them, are the Admiralty Court, the Inland Warehousing, and Electors' Removal Bills. The object of the first Sir J. Campbell states to have been to place the salary of the Judge of the Admiralty upon a more independent footing, and to fix it at a moderate sum (4,0001. a-year,) instead of leaving it to fluctuate, as formerly, in times of war. There is not a little of the suppressio veri in this statement. Lord Brougham, at a very early period of the Session, had called the attention of the Govern ment to the anomaly presented by the mode of payment of the judge—viz., by an annual vote of the House of Commons, which most improperly rendered him de pendent upon that body ; and having been assured by Lord Melbourne that a Bill would be presented to Parliament to put an end to that mode of payment, he expressed the hope that it would contain a clause incapacitating the Judge from sitting in the House of Commons. The Bill found its way to the Lords on the Gth of August. It WAS not confined to the question o f salary, as one would naturally have supposed from t h e Attorney-General's extension speech. It gave the judge consider able patronage, and it proposed the exte nsion o f t h e wages, the given,on respecting jurisdiction jurisdiction of the court in a ma n ner an d to an ext ent which were considered very questionable, proposedle,particu particularly t a i d seat ri t o exclu sively whichi c y a , s t se of tthh seamenee placeAdnia ' sr of bein s w lt Admiralty Curt, w ou ld b e much better containtransferr a e d c i t a o u t s h e e riCourtscapa incapacitating o t a f i e n g o tu t m h e o n judge Law from % It m d in the Commons, for, notwithstanding that provision was recommended by a Committee of the House of Commons, of which Sir Stephen (then Dr.) Lushinolon c n s m u r p n p i t o t r e t e, of t it, a t t o t h b e e jfuodugned minutslttebeevidree,nacredbeedfoares was a Member, and, not w ith stan di ng his recorded admis sionthat i a political jud ge , M r .

ON. a yea r th e amount recommende d by the Com mittee selected by the Whigs of 1833, it was admitted to be not more than an adequate remuneration for a per son holding so high a station, even though it were re garded as a payment for about twenty-eight days' work in the year ; and it was even suggested that the Com mons might provide, ad interim, by vote for the increase proposed. But the Lords refused, and, as we think, most properly, 'o entertain a Bill hating such objects in . view as those above stated at a late period of the ses sion, and in the absence of the chiefs of the Co ur t s o f Queen's Bench and Exchequer. The object of the second Bill—that relating to Inland Warehousing— the rejection of which forms the second article o f im peachment against the Lords, was not understood by Lord Lansdowne, who moved its second r ea di ng. I-Ie stated it to be " the extension of th e ware . housing system to those, towns which are not strictly to be c alled ports," and he recommended the Bill t o the support of the House on the ground o its having passed the Commons by a large majority.

This was an action brought by Mr . . - Carvalho, book seller in Fleet -street, against Ann Starr, sued as Drewett, a stationer and keeper of a public library in the Qua drant, Regent-street, to recover the sum of 181. 19s. 9d., for books supplied. A plea of coverture was recorded. Mr. Gaselee (with Mr. Lock) appeared for,the plain tiff; and Mr. Cary for the defendant. An application was made on the part of the defendant to postpone the trial, on the ground of the absence of a material witness through illness. The party in question, a Mrs. Abercrombie, was to prove the plea of coverture, she having been present at the marriage of the defend ant at Trowbridge, in the year 1809. The defendant in her affidavit stated that she was a married woman, and that her husband was living. Three weeks time was required to substantiate the plea. The plaintiff in an swer made an affidavit that the defendant had repre sented herself to him as a widow with three children, and he did not know until he sued her that she alleged her husband was living, or that she had passed by an assumed name ; he considered, if that was the case, his goods bad been improperly obtained. The point was discussed at considerable length, and a number of law authorities cited on the subject. The Learned JUDGE was of opinion that the affidavit used on the part of the defendant was not sufficiently strong. It did not disclose where the husband was living, nor whether the material witness could prove that he was now living. The application was refused. Mr. GASELEE, in stating the case, expressed his sa tisfaction at the result of the application. He ob served that the plea of coverture was getting into vogue. It was a monstrous doctrine (but such it was as the law stood) that a woman should represent herself as a widow, and refuse payment for goods on the plea that she was a married woman, and should be able, when it could be proved, to deprive the creditor of his just demand. An errand boy, named Black, in the employ of Mr. Carvalho, proved the delivery of a number of fashion able novels and other books. He said there was one Shakspeare and " one Cabinet Minister."—( A laugh.) The LEARNED JUDGE—What is the price of the ca binet minister F Boy—One pound three and ninepence. —(Laughter.) The witness proceeded and mentioned the novel of " Births, Marriages, and Deaths!' Mr. GASELEE—We prove our marriage legally, but the defendant could not. We say her husband is in the deaths.—(Laughter ) Mr. CARY admitted that he had no answer to the demand. The Jury found for the plaintiff to the full amount. CONTESTS FOR CIVIC OFFICES. The hardest contest fora civic office in the gift of the Court of Common Council fought for a great many years, was fought by the present Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench and Baron Bolland for the office of Common Sergeant in the year 1822. Mr. Bolland was then one of the City Pleaders and one of the most eminent practitioners at the Old Bailey. He was much distinguished from the majority of the Sessions' bar by his legal knowledge, and the abhorrence he entertained for anything like ruffianism. He never meddled with politics, but Mr. Denman was taken by the hand by the Radicals who had great power at that period in the Corporation. The numbers were— For Thomas Denman For William Bolland Majority for Mr. Denman Number of voters present, 250. The next severe contest to the struggle we have men tioned was that between Mr. Mirehouse, the present Common Sergeant, and Mr. Matthew Hill, the Queen's Counsel, in 1833, when Mr. Mirehouse obtained the situation by a majority of 15. The numbers being-- For Mirehouse For Hill Majority — 15 Number of voters present, 235. The next in severity was that between the Hon. Mr. Law and Mr. Hill in 1830, when Mr. Law won by a majority of 18, the numbers being— For Law llB For Hill Majority Numbers of voters present, 218. The contest for the office of City Solicitor on Thurs day ranked last as the chances of the unsuccessful can didate, the majority for Pearson being 28 out of a total of 230. It is calculated, however, that no man ever made so hard a struggle in one week as Saunders made. Nobody knew that he was a candidate for the office, or supposed that he had an eye to the situation, until the resignation of Mr. Newman was regu l ar l y de clared in the Court. He then, as the Members were leaving the Court, canvassed them with a great deal of zeal. The Duke of Newcastle, with the Lords Pel ham Clinton, is shortly expected to leave Hafod, Wales, for Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire, where his Grace will pass the winter. DEATH OF LORD GEORGE BERESFORD.— Lord George Bcresford, who had been for some time previously on a visit with his distinguished relative, his Grace the Lord Primate, expired at the palace, Armagh, on the morning of Saturday last. The Lord Primate, accompanied by his nephew, Lord John Beresford, has been passing the last week at Newcastle, in this county.—Newry Telegraph. [Lord George was in his 59th year ; he was a Lieutenant-General in the army and Colonel of the 3d Dragoons, a Privy Coun cillor, Custos Rotulorum of the County of Water ford, and Colonel of its Militia, He married in 1808, Harriet, daughter of a gentleman named Schutz, by whom ha has left three surviving children, the eldest a daughter in her 30th year. His Lordship was a son of th e first and uncle to the present Marquis of Waterford. He represented for a long time the county of Waterford in Parliament on the Tory interest until he was ejected from it by Mr. Villiers Stuart (now Lord Stuart de Decies), aided by the influence of the Ca tholic Association. This was the first great blow struck at Toryism in Ireland, and laid the foundation of the series of victories which soon ended in the at tainment of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill.] UNITED SERVICE BENEVOLENT INSTITU- ToN.—On Thursday afternoon the adjourned goner al meeting of the members of this association was held at their rooms, Carlton Chambers, Regent-street, for the purpose of discussing a code of rules and regulations for the government of the institution passed at the former meeting. Admiral the Right Hon. Sir G. Cockburn, G.C.8., was called to the chair. One of the members is reported to have said that her Majesty had been ap plied to through a certain channel to become patroness of this Society. Her answer was that, before she could become patroness of the institution, her Majesty should obtain the leave of her Ministers to do so ; but as her Majesty was of opinion that her Ministers might throw cold water on the proposition, she begged them not to press her to become patroness. (The announcement was received with great apparent astonishment—[We don't believe a word of the story]—and evidently created a feeling of disappointment, if not of deep regret.) Her Majesty was also stated to have expressed her con viction that the institution would go on very well by itself. The number of prisoners under 17 years of age confined ir, the prisons of England and Wales, in the course of the last year, was 11,441 males, and 2,1.56 females. Her Majesty's stag hounds will commence hunt ing for the season on Monday next. They will throw off at Salt Hill at eleven o'clock ; but in the event of the weather proving unfavourable ' the " meet" w ill t h en take place at the same hour, and in the same locality, on the following day. A similar arrangement, in this respect will be adopted throughout the season. The hounds will throw off on Wednesday at Winkfield Church, and on the following Friday at Willingdon. It is arranged that the hunting shall take place three times a week. Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg, and several of her Majesty's distinguished visitors at the Castle, and suite, are expected to be present at Salt Hi l on Monday. _ _ A woman of Priziac, in Morbihan, lies in the prison of Pontivy, waiting her trial for the murder of her stepson, a child only ten years old, whose skull she first fractured by beating him with her iron-shod sabots, then hung him up to a tree, and afterwards tore out his nails by the roots!
