A letter, which we insert, on the gold currency, directs attention to another evil connected with the Bank management, which deserves public attention. It appears that a great deal of our gold currency, by the wear and tear of commerce, and proba bly by sweating—which, by the bye, is a process bank notes cannot be subjected to has become light, or of lees than the standard weight ; and it further appears, of which we have been before in formed, that the Bank of England refuses to take a single light sovereign. On that account, as all the revenue is remitted to the Bank, the Excise-of f icers reject gold, and will take only paper. The conse quence is that the light .overeigns remain in circu lation, or are locked up in the vaults of bankers, Those who possess them will not carry them to the Bank to receive less for them as bullion than the y can get by passing them to others in the way of commerce, and the Bank is deprived of much bul lion which might otherwise serve to replenish its coffers, and so enable it to enlarge the circulation. We may observe that this is another evil of a gold currency, for gold coin being softer than silver coin wears faster, and being more valuable rewards the sweater more than silver. We cannot expect the evil will now be remedied by changing the standard, but so far as it can be remedied by the Government without changing the standard, a remedy ought to be applied. It might call in all the coin deficient in value, and be at the loss of re-melting and re coining it. The Government might give an indem nity to the Bank for any loss it might sustain by receiving such coin, as it some time age in demnified it for the loss caused by the silver coinage, and so enable it to collect the gold in its coffers, which is now hoarded up in York shire, and save it, as our correspondent remarks, from the humiliation of soliciting, like a pauper, relief from a foreign banking establishment. What ever mode may be adopted, as long as the Legisla ture insists on regulating the coin as a Royal pre rogative, and will not allow men to issue their own promises to pay under a certain value, it is bound, at whatever cost, and at whatever risk of being cheated by the sweaters, to keep the gold coin at full standard value, so that it shall be received at the bank counter as well as at the bar of a gin-shop. We, however, are decidedly of opinion that this re. medy should be applied by the Government itself at an office constituted by it, and under its own control and management, and should not be en trusted to the Bank of England. In fact the letter of our Correspondent reveals to us a power possessed by the Bank over the coin, the extent of which was not before appa rent. It is no longer the Royal Mint, no longer the QUEEN who exercises the prerogative of coin ing and determining whether coin shall be kept in circulation or not, it is the Bank of England. In addition to being the exclusive issuer of paper Ipromises to pay on demand within the metro- Pulis,—to having these paper promises lyingly and falsely pronounced by the law an actual pay ment, it has also the power of regulating thc coinage in its hand s . Either of these three pri vileges would be too much for any company of merchants—whose great business is to make the most they can, without much regard to the princi ples of honesty—they looking to the sharpness of others to keep them honest but united, they consti tute a greater power than the SOVEREIGN herself possesses, or than any Sovereign ever claimed. We w ere always of opinio n that L ord A LTHORP and Mr. POULETT THOMSON, when the Bank Char ter was renewed, made a most improvident arrange ment, and induced the Pariiament to confer on the Bank, directed by greedy, and sometimes scamp_ ish and bankrupt merchants, a power over the for tunes of indididuals which it would never be allow e d in its own body, and of its own immediate autho rity, itself to exercise. What is now the consequence ? All commerce, all manufactures, e ver y enterprise can on ly b e c ar. I We are g l a d to see from a communicat i on i n ried on i n su b serv i ency to t h e opera ti o ns of the another part o f the P aper, that Lord DUDLEY Bank. To guard itself from the loss of the frac- STUART and his worthy coadjutors are making Lion of a shilli ng i t w ill ta k e none b ut f u ll we i g ht • every exertion to render the Fancy Ball at the sovereigns; to keep it s l ega l t en d ers at their , Guildhall worthy of its o bj ect . B ut e i ght years profess es t o i ssue no more of ago England and Flanec rung with thc (I,:cds ui nominal value it them, though for its own convenience its breaks j the brave defenders of Warsaw, and every heart through the rule, than about three times as many as it has full weight gold in its coffers. Thus, for the I undisguised advantage of its stock-holders---not for the public benefit—which it may be supposed would be the rule for the exercise of the prerogative —the whole currency of the empire is now regulated. To get a large per tentage on its capital, the mer chants who direct its operations at one time force a large quantity of their promises to pay into circula tion ; then an alarm seizes them, whether well or ill founded is of no consequence, they curtail their issues, and to make up for the diminished amount raise the rate of interest, and crush, absolutely ruin, all those who have entered into business or com menced their operations on the custom, a few months ago countenanced by the Bank, of charging only three, or at most five per cent. for money. These are evils which would not be endured from a Government, and why should they be tolerated when inflicted by a few merchants for their own be nefit, and the benefit of the proprietors of Bank Stock ? There is no chance, we are afraid, in the present state of the public mind, and of knowledge on eco nomical subjects, of seeing a complete free trade in banking and money. We, therefore, as the next best thing, must insist on the propriety of taking the enormous power we bare described from the Bank of England ; and if it must be concentra ted in the hands of any one body, let it be given to a responsible branch of the Government, constitu ted as a National Bank. Let those who exercise it be accountable to Parliament, and, receiving a fixed salary, not be under a temptation, nor en dowed with a power, to fleece the public in order to enhance their own not honest gains. The W higs have been in office nine years, and during that time the bulk of the clergy, the great mass of the county Magistrates, the Peers, and the opposition in the Commons, latterly almost as strong as the Ministers, have all been Tories. Within these nine years only a portion of the po pulation have grown to manhood, and of that por tion a large number have been moulded by the To ries. So far as authority can give its impress to a population, the long reign of the Tories, prior to 1830, nestled as they have ever since been in every nook and cranny of the State, filling the A► my, the Navy, and the Church, must have made the present generation Tory in thought and deed. The Whigs have not yet been long enough in office, and they have been toe determinedly and successfully opposed by the Tories— particularly on matters of education and concerning the Church—to have had much influence over the thoughts and deeds of that part of the population which has grown to manhood since their accession to power. Whatever may be the tendency of their policy, whether to humanize or brutalize the people—whether to inculcate a reve rence or a contempt for the law—they have been too short a time in power to allow of that policy showing itself in the habits and thoughts of the people. Whatever may be the character of the people, therefore, at present, so far as the policy of the Government can influence it, that must have been formed by the Tories, not by the Whigs. For all the ignorance imputed to them—for all the coarseness belonging to their manners—for their preference of violence to reason—for their want of respect to the law, the Tories are much more to blame than the Whigs. As yet the Aristocracy and the 'Anglican Church domineer over the nation, and to them must be ascribed the faults and follies of the governed. Having said so much towards forming a correct view of the influence which the Whigs may have have had over the imputed tendency of the people to resist authority, we must add, that it has been the constant effort of the Tories to make authority unlovely. They have invested it with terror, re gardless whether or not it were also clothed with the higher attributes ofreason and justice. They have thought it sufficient to declare that the law must be obeyed, .and have never attempted to make it worthy of obedience. Such a mode of governing mankind may possibly succeed in China, though it is doubtful, but here, where a tolerably free press exists, where all men are invited to dis cuss the measures of Government, to expect that a blind obedience can be enforced to unjust laws is a palpable absurdity. Now, the Tories have continually refused to amend the laws. They form themselves into a great union to conserve whatever exists, including an im mensemass of abuses. While they do that, and while the people are groaning under great burdens, political and economical, they have also continually spoken of the masses with scorn, and have added insult to injury. On that ground we charge the Tories with being the main authors of that discontent which now pervades the masses ; and the Whigs are only to be blamed for it inasmuch as they have sometimes imi tated the Tories. The ancient laws and institutions of the country are not adapted to the present condition of the com munity, in relation both to its numbers and its know ledge. For many years, however strongly those institutions have been supported by pre scription, by custom, and by the self in terest of a few, they have been generally con demned by public writers. Nevertheless while the Tories would not reform them, they have insisted on their being obeyed ; they have treated with contempt those who have sought improvement; and the result is, that wide-spread discontent has fixed itself deep in the hearts of the people, which, sooner or later, unless Toryism be annihilated, will overwhelm the empire with confusion and anarchy. Let the Tories look on their work, and be humbled and sad. The Magistrates seem to be sadly puzzled and not a little divided about the mode of carrying into effect their law for shutting up public-houses on Sa turday night. The paid Magistrates, shortly after the New Police Act came into operation, inflicted fines for opening a door after twelve. Some three days ago the Chief Magistrate at Bow-street laid down a different law, and decided that the landlord of the Albion Tavern had committed no offence by opening his door at half-past twelve on Sunday morning to let out fourteen customers, who, of course, had not been sitting half-an-hour with empty goblets. The Chief Magistrate of the City yesterday decided the very reverse, and considered the opening of the door a sufficient test and an ample warranty for inflicting the fine. Luckily, however, for the hotel-keeper, it was urged that he sold coffee and tea, and muffins and crumpets, and that he was not compelled to close at the hour spe cified. Then, said the LORD MAYOR, very pro perly, the " Act is a dead letter," and dismissed the information. We have all along urged that this part of the Act is a dead letter, and are glad to find that the 'Magistrates begin to read it in that light, and are glad to catch at any sort of excuse to get out of the mass of absurdities into which they have involved themselves by a wanton interference with the rational enjoyments of their fellow-citizens. Would they not act more prudently by taking a lenient and rational view of the clause? They can vindicate the object for which it was inserted, without wast iangstethame time of the public with a miserable investi gation as to w h et h er a poor f am ily, arriving late in were at a certain hour drinking beer or coffee. THE SUN, LONDON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8,, 1839. heat high in hopes of their success. They failed, because they were deserted, and could not accom plish impossibilities. The Princes of the coun try that led them on to battle are wandering in exile—vast numbers of the officers and soldiers are dragging out a miserable existence in the wilds of Siberia,—and of the small remnant that have es caped to this country some have only the bare means of subsistence, and others arc actually in fear of want. For the relief of these this civic festival is instituted, and all who admire bravery, who sym pathize with defeated patriots, and who remember what the Poles did in defence of Christendom, will readily join in the holy cause. Hopes are entertained that, among other noble personages, the two Princes of the house of SAYE COBOURG will be present. The elder could not give reasonable cause of offence to Prussia or Austria, or even Russia, by affording relief to starving men, and the younger could not more effectually ingratiate himself with all classes in this country, from the ultra-Radical to the ultra-Tory. The address of Mr. SCOBLE on negro emancipa tion, reported in The Sun, is extremely well worthy of perusal. Mr. SCOBLE refutes for ever the as sertion that the emancipation has injured the colo nies, and clearly demonstrates that justice and hu manity are as profitable as they are engaging. We understand that the fricnds of JOHN THO ROGOOD have laid instructions before Mr. Sergeant WILDS, to move for a writ of habeas corpus. They are anxious that the right of the Ecclesias tical Courts to deal with him as they have dcne, may be publicly and solemnly argued before a full Court. Letters and Papers from Madrid of the 30th ult. have arrived. The last paragraph of the Address was under discussion. Reports of an entire change in the Cabinet were in circulation. On the 28th ESPARTERO was at Acoriza, LEON at Calanda, and O'DONNELL at Fortanetc, near Cantavieja. ESPARTERO was pursuing the plan of operations adopted in the Basques, by gradually surrounding CABRERA, and narrowing the sphere of his ope rations, so as to starve his partizans into thoughts of a surrender. Should CABRERA make a despe rate rush and break through EsPARTE4o's lines, he must leave behind him the whole of his military stores, and so great a loss would completely dis hearten his followers. On the subject of the dissolution of the Spanish Cabinet we quote the latest rumour from the Eco del Commercio of the 30th ult., without vouching for its authenticity : " We arc assured that the Ministers Arrazola San Milan and Perez de Castro have tendered their resig nations last night. As for General Alai:;, the Minister of War, it was said that he tendered his the day before yesterday. 'We shall see whether these resignations will be like so many others which come to nothing." The following Royal Ordinance appears in the Moniteur of Wednesday : " Louis Philippe, King of the French, to all present and to come, greeting— " We have ordainel, and ordain as follows : " The Chamber of Peers and the Chamber of De puties are convoked for the 23d of December, 1839. " Our Minister Secretary of State for the Depart ment of the Interior is charged with the execution of the present Ordinance." Generals BERNARD and LAMY, the former late Minister of War, died in Paris on Tuesday. M. HA GERMAN, one of the great French bankers, also died on the same day. Several beet-root sugar-manufacturers have re fused to pay the tax imposed by the Royal Ordi nance of 15 francs on every 100 kilogrammes, on the ground that the Crown has no authority either to impose or remit taxes, unless previously voted by the Chambers. The French Journals of Wednesday are filled with the news from the East, which appeared in the London papers of yesterday. The SULTAN, in granting an audience of leave to Admiral Rous- SIN, is said to, have behaved towards the Ex-Am bassador with a degree of condescension hitherto unknown at the Court of Constantinople. Letters were received in Paris on Wednesday, from some Carlist partizans at Bayonne, stating, on the authority of other letters of the 30th ult., from Saragossa, that ESPARTERO was nearly made prisoner by a body of CABRERA'S cavalry during a reconnoisance, and only escaped by the superior mettle of his horse. We ventnre to aflirm that there is not one syllable of truth in this statement. There is no domestic news of any moment in the Paris papers.. The Liberal Journals accept the late Ministerial manifesto, and protest that all they seek is that Marshal SOULT shall henceforth abide by his own declarations. They profess, however, to see in his acts a policy the very reverse of what constitutes his professions. BRUSSELS, Nov. 6.—The average price of wheat last week was 24f. 70c., and of rye 14f. 80. The re gulation on importation and exportation are, conse quently, unchanged. His Majesty the King is expected on Saturday on his return from Wiesbaden. Messrs. de Rothschild had an audience of his Majesty the King of the Belgians at Wiesbaden. General Count Cruquemburg,raide-de-camp, to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, with his whole family, General Count Sens, and General Baron de Roye Wicken, has just arrived in this city. We hear from Macstricht that. an affray bad taken place between some citizens and some officers of the garrison. The latter who had lately arrived from Hol land, were at an eating-house, where they insulted some citizens, calling them Belgian rebels. VIENNA, OCT. 29.—Their Imperial Majesties ar rived at the Palace in Vienna to-day from Schonbrunn. The Empress-Mother will come to-morrow, but the Archduke Francis Charles and his consort and family will stay some days longer at Schonbrunn. Prince Metternich is expected this evening or to-morrow morn ing. Count Munch Bellinghausen, President of the German Diet, is expected at the same time.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. wasoN.—JUDGMENT.. ..... The LORD CHANCELLOR gavc judgment in this ma, which was argued before his Lordship a few days ago, upon an application on the part of Sir Thomas Marion Wilson, the Lord of the Manor of Hampstead, to dissolve en injunction restraining his proceeding at law to recover a fine from the trustees of the Hampstead Charity, which was foundee in 1698 by the Earl of Gatnsborough. The trustees resisted the payment of the fine on the ground that it was not calculated accord ing to the decree of Lord King in 1729, which esta blished the Charity. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be that the injunction which had been granted was an extremely proper one, and ought not therefore to be dissolved. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF TAYLOR.-JUDGMENT. It will be recollected that a few day's since Mr. K. Bruce applied in this case on behalf of the lady of a Mr. Taylor, under Segeant Talfourd's Act for the Cus tody of Infants, for an order for access to her children. Upon that application it was stated that the petition had not been served upon the husband, inasmuch as he could not be found at any of his places of residence, or at a large brewery which he carried on near Limehouse. This being the case, the Learned Counsel confined his application to the service of the order upon his solicitors, or at the brewery, should be deemed good service. That application stood for judgment to-day. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat, stated that in this case, in which the applicat;on was quite cx park, he had read the whole of the papers, but before he proceeded to state the reason for the judgment to which he had come, he would just advert to the question as to whether the Vice-Chancellor had juris diction in this matter under the Act. At the time of the application being made the Act appointing the Vice-Chancellor was handed up to him, together with the statute under which the application was made. The former Act, in express terms, gave jurisdiction to the Vice-Chancellor in all cases in which, by any statute thereafter to be passed, jurisdiction was given to the Vice-Chancellor; but the words " the Vice. Chancellor" being omitted in the latter Act, and the names of the Lord Chancellor and Master of the Rails only being used, a question was raised as to whether or not the jurisdiction of the Vice-Chancellor was excluded. In consequence of there being some doubt entertained upon the subject, his Honour had consulted some of the i other Judges on the subject, and he had been assured upon the best authority that the fact was that when Sergeant Talfourd's Bill was introduced into the House of Lords, it contained the name of the Vice- Chancellor as well as those of the Lord Chancellor and the Master of the Rolls, but that the words " the Vice-Chancellor" were struck out as being considered unnecessary as jurisdiction was given to that Judge by the name of the Lord Chancellor being inserted. His Honour therefore had no doubt that he had jurisdiction. Mr. K. BRUCE said, that such being the opinion of the Court, it was his duty to state that circumstances had come to his knowledge which he thought would ren der it unnecessary for his Honour to decide upon the question of substituted service. He trusted, therefore, that the Court would reserve its judgment for the present. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that he would do so, but he would retain the papers for a short time. He had, however, read the whole of the papers, and was perfectly ready to give judgment. Short causes occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) -.• The General Petition Day is fixed for Saturday, the 23d instant. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of all kinds of Grain this week have been small_ Wheat firmly maintained Monday's prices. For Barley more money was asked; Beans and Peas as last reported.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY..--The sales this day are 3,000 bags to the trade, without va riation in prices. The George Washington, New York packet ship, o' the 7th, has arrived—of course an old date. Accounts from Pernambuco of the middle of August, state that great unanimity is said to prevail at San Luiz and Maranham, among all classes, and a general determination, in case of extremity, to hazard all in defence of life and property. Such is the alarm, how- ever, even there, that citizens are not permitted to leave, and foreigners have been called to volunteer in the service of the country, which the Portuguese have done to the number of 700, and additional troops are being sent to the scene of disorder, from the neighbouring provinces. The capital, San Luiz de Maranham, being situated upon an island, and having a large number of troops for its defence, is thought to be safe, even in case of an attack. We have another arrival this morning, from the United States, the packet-ship Wellington; which left New York on the 7th. She brings 80,000 sovereigns, the same amount as received by the Liverpool steamer. This is good news for the Bank of England, as we have no doubt they will find their way there, with a great many more coming from various other quarters, and we may expect that in the course of a few months, the coffers of the Bank will be amply supplied, so as to allay all apprehensions in regard to its stability in specie payments. This morning the state and difficulties in which the commercial affairs of the United States are involved, are the general topic of conversation in the city. We have very few arrivals this morning, and the ship letters are of old dates. THE FUNDS.

A similar one does not exist in the whole of Germany. The day of the inauguration of the above temple was a general fete ; not only all the authorities of the town, civil, military, :Ind eccle siastical, assisted, but the National Guards and garri son were under arms at the dawn of day, similar to that of a Christian fete, and salvos of artillery were fired. The procession in which the Zora was carried from the old synagogue to the new one, was escorted by a detachment of cavalry furnished by the National Guard, at the head of which was the Burgomaster and all the members of the Municipal Council. ATTEMPT AT VIOLATION. --- On Sunday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, as Beech and O'Grady, two active members of the Bridewell Guard, were returning from the neighbourhood of Glanmire, where they had been sent by directions of the Sheriffs, to ascertain the truth of certain statements reported in regard to Casey, one of the parties in custody charged with the murder of constable Lawlor, their attention was arrested by the screams of a female in the vicinity of the Cliffs near the Barracks. Th e y instantly ran to the spot, and discovered a man in the act of commit.. ting violence upon the person of a woman, whilst ano ther man stood by at a short distance. The officers instantly secured the party. The female, Frances Pat ten, who is said to be respectably connected, soon re covered. The men, thus arrested are Richard Reed (the alleged principal) an intelligent and well dressed young man, and George Wilkinson. They were brought to the police-office yesterday, where a private investi gation took'place, which resulted in the liberation of Wilkinson and the remanding of Reed.—Southern Re porter.

IN RE RUGBY SCHOOL. It will be recollected that in this case, which came on upon petition before the long vacation, praying for the interference of the Court in the management and regulation of the School, the Master of the Rolls made no order, but expressed an opinion that discouragement had been thrown on the introduction of young boys into the School, and that adequate provision had not been made for their instruction. An intimation was then given on behalf of the trustees, that they were only desirous of doing what was right ; and that, when his Lordship's opinion was understood by them, no further proceedings would be necessary. Mr. PEMBERTON this morning stated that an arrange ment had been made by the trustees, which, if conti nued and permanently established by the order of the trustees, was all that was necessary to be done ; but no order had yet been made by them, which, in the opinion of the petitioners, would meet the exigencies of the case. All they desired was to have a permanent ar rangement made. _ _ _ KINDERSLEY, who appeared for the trustees, was desirous that the Court, should make no order on the subject. The MASTER of the ROLLS said he certainly had ex pressed an opinion that there had not been that species of encouragement given to young boys that was desirable. At the same time a confidence was expressed that the trustees would do what was right. It now appeared that what was right had been done, but that ought not to be assigned as a reason why no further order should be made. Mr. KINDERSLEY could assure his Lordship that the trustees had literally no object whatever but to do what was best for the school. The MASTER of the ROLLS--I cannot suppose other. wise. Mr. KINDERSLEY Therefore, if his Lordship would be good enough to suggest the form in which the arrangement should be made the trustees would be happy to concur in it. What had ocourred to him was, that if the Court made an order it might be considered as a sort of slur on the management of the school, which he was certain his Lordship would not wish to cast. The MASTER of the RoLLs—Not at all: I cannot look at it in that light. Nothing whatever disrespect ful towards the trustea is intended ; only it appears to me that something more is necessary to be done for the purpose of giving encouragement to the lower school. Mr. KINDERSLEY was desirous that the public should feel everything was done for the benefit of the school. The MASTER of the Rou.s—lf I recollect right, and it is rather a disadvantage to me that I have not the whole facts now in my mind, it appeared that the school was very flourishing, and had been particularly so since its tuition by Dr. Arnold, but that one part of the school did not receive that encouragement which it ought to have. An order was ultimately made, reciting that the peti tion had stood over, and that in consequence of an in timation from the Court, adequate provision having been made for the instruction of young boys in the lower school, the Court did not think it :right to make any order on the petition except that the costs should be paid out of the fund, with liberty to apply to the Court •if there should be occasion. 'QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) in these calls. Now it was clear that the Directors had no authority to expend the money of the shareholders in any undertaking which had not previously received thcir sanction, and which did not come within the terms of the Act of Parliament. A certain proposition wL!s laid before the public, and certain terms were prescribed in the Act, and it was upon the faith of that arrange ment that the shares had been taken. Although the defendant might have been willing to subscribe to an undertaking for a line two miles and three quarters long, he might have strong objections to joining a company for forming one nea r ly five mites long. Under these ' circumstances he thought he was entitled to have the rule prayed for. The COURT said that there was some difficulty, from the number of questions raised, as to the relief which should he given. They thought it best however that leave should be given on the points reserved by the Lord Chief Justice, and the Court would then deal with the rule as it thought proper.—Rule granted. EAST AND OTHERS V. 31‘GEE. Mr. PLATT bad been instructed to move for a new ;rlid in this case. Lord DENMAN—Oh, I recollect it—it was a point of honour between the drapers and tailors.—(A laugh.) Mr. PLATT—YCS, my Lord. It was geld before your Lordship at the Middlesex sittings, and there was a verdict for the plaintiff for 571. Lord DENMAN—The plaintiff was a draper and the defendant a tailor, and it a-as alleged that he had kept three pieceE of cloth sent him for inspection long enough to make him a purchaser. Mr. PLATT having stated the facts of the case, from which it appeared that the cloth bad been kept more than three months, and had been injured by being left open, _ _ The COURT was of opinion that there was no ground For disturbing the verdict,—Ru►e refused. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF HEREFORDSHIRE. Mr. WILLIAMS moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to the Justices' of Herefordshire, commanding them to enter continu ances, and hear an appeal against an order of removal. The order was made by the Justices of the borough of Leominster on the 16th of March, and served on the 18th. On the 4th of April the parish to which the pauper was removed gave notice of appeal. The next Quarter Sessions were on the Bth of April, but the no- nee of appeal was to the July Sessions. Upon the appeal then coming on, the Justices refused to hear it, on the ground that it ought to have been'to the April Sessions. This decision of the Quarter Sessions in volved two very important points, which were entirely open for the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. Under the exigencies of the new statute, fourteen days at least before the Sessions, at which the appeal is to be tried, the appellant party is to furnish the respon dents with the grounds of appeal. His LORDSHIP—What statute ? Mr. WILLIAMS—The New Poor-law Act (4 and 5 Will. IV., c. 76, s. 81.) In this case it was necessary that fourteen days before the Bth of April the grounds of appeal should have been stated. Now there were only Fix clear days, during which it was incumbent on the party to make up their minds not only whether they would appeal or not, but also to state with precision all the grounds of appeal. Slx days, he apprehended, were not suffi cient for that purpose. There was another question of equal or still greater importance, and that was whether or not an appellant parish, under the new Poor-law Act, had not at all events 21 days to deliver it ; for the 79th scction directed that no pauper should be actually removed until the expiration of 21 days from the service of the order of removal. It was difficult to imagine why such a limit should have been named, except upon the supposition that during the 21 days the parish was to have the opportunity of considering whether to appeal or not. His LORDSHIP granted a rule nisi. THE QUEEN V. APPLETON. Mr. ADDISON moved for a writ of certiorari, to re- move the proceedings on the coroner's inquest in this case into this Court, and for a rule to show cause why Matthew Appleton, now a prisoner in York Castle, on a charge of manslaughter, should not be admitted to bail before a Magistrate in the county. The affidavit of Appleton stated that he had been for five years in the service of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company, and that on the 19th of October he was con ducting a locomotive engine belonging to the Com pany along the railway between Middleborough and Stockton, and that previously to the arrival of the engine at a point where the railway crosses the highway, he gave notice of the approach of the engine in the usual manner, by a shrill whistle ; that Thomas Gray was driving a waggon, drawn by three horses, along the road leading from Stockton to Stokesley, and that in attempting to cross the railway the first horse swerved ; that Gray urged the horse forward and got him across, but that the second horse was struck by the engine, and Gray thrown down, whereby his death was caused. Appleton further stated that be believed Gray must have heard his whistle, and that when he (Appleton) sa'w the waggon he did his utmost to prevent the accident. His LORDSHIP granted the application. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY. EVE , ‘ ,, s I - - C E 441T1' s I vendant 18th Mr. BEART, for the def:!nt e, said that the de, had paid the plaintiff the amount in dispute on the of July, and called the Henry John Jackson, the defendant's clerk. —On tr. 15th of July he saw Westlake receive a letter from 1\ 13 Conquest, the plaintiff's attorney, demanding paymei of 10/. Bs., due to Mr. Parkins ; he immediately, b) his master's directions, accompanied him to town, and they went together to plaintiff's shop, and found Parkins there alone. Defendant offered ten sovereigns and eight shillings to Parkins in payment ; he refused to take it, and referred Westlake to Conquest. Westlake. said " I owe him nothing, it is to you I owe the money whereupon the plaintiff took up the money and put it In his pocket. Westlake then ordered a frock-coat, and Parkins said he would send it to him, and at the same time send a receipt, as he had no one to send out to procure one. On their return to Barking, witness made a memorandum of the transaction, which was nov put in. Thomas Edward Thomas has known the defendant many years. On the 18th of July last he accompsojea the defendant to the plaintiff's shop. The defendant :asked Parkins when the coat would be ready, to which Parkin s said that afternoon, whereupon Westlake remarked, " This commences a fresh account," to which Parkins ! replied, " Certainly." Cross-examined—Did not bear anything said about a receipt. The witnesses for the plaintiff were recalled, but no thing material was elicited. Mr. CONQUEST having replied, The SECONDARY summed up, and said the case was full of difficulty, and it entirely depended upon which set of witnesses the Jury were inclined to credit. The contradictions were direct and irre concileable ; he should offer no opinion on the matter, but leave the question entirely to the Jury, The Jury having retired for ten minutes, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole amount claimed. KENNAWAY V. TRELEVEN. This was an action upon a guarantee, which was tried at the late Somerset Assizes, before Mr. Justice Erskine, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages 2001. Mr. BERE now moved for a rule nisi for a nonsuit, pursuant to leave reserved for him at the trial. The guarantee was in these words—" I hereby become in debted to Messrs. Kennaway, in case Mr. Patten should make default in his capacity of agent and traveller to him," and signed by the defendant. The Learned Gentleman contended, upon the authority of Cole v. Dyer, 4 Crumpton and Jervis, 621, and other cases, that there was no sufficient considera tion upon the face of the guarantee. The words were so vague, that supposing Mr. Patten to have received monies upon the account of the plaintiff previous to the guarantee being signed, and neglected to account for it, under that document it would have been recovered ; the guarantee was therefore in reference to the past as well as the future, and therefore void ; and further, he contended that upon the face of the document there was no obligation on the part of the plaintiff. The COURT thought it was clear upon the face of the guarantee, that it referred to the future, and Mr. Pat ten could not become a delaulter, unless the plaintiff had given him employment. They saw no reason for disturbing the verdict.—Rule refused. HIBBLEWHITE V. 3,I`hIORINE. This action was brought to recover the difference in the price of fifty shares in the Brighton Railway Com pany, which occurred between the time of contract for a sale, and the time of selling. The action was tried before Mr. Baron Gurney, at the sittings in Westminster, after last term, when a verdict passed for the plaintiff. Damages 2551. Mr. ALEXANDER now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set, aside, and a new trial had. The plaintiff contracted on the 10th Sep tember, 1838, to sell to the def e nd an t fifty Brighton shares, to be delivered on the following Ist of March at par, and to make to him a legal transfer of them. The plaintiff averred that he was owner of the fifty shares at the time in question ; that he offered them to the defendant on the Ist of March, and could and would then have made a legal transfer of them ; all of which allegations were put in issue. The evidence at the trial was, that a clerk from the plaintiff had on the Ist March gone to the defendant and offered him certain papers signed in the name of Pritchard, Purporting to be Brighton Shares, which were then at a discount of 225. 6d., which were refused. It further appeared that the plaintiff, in November or December, had made some agreement with Pritchard for 100 shares, and no doubt that gentleman could furnish them ; but by the Brigh ton Act, the Ist Vic., cap. 119, certain forms must be gone through, before a regular and legal trans fer could take place. Such forms had not been gone through, for, on application at the Com pany's offices, and an inspection of their books after the Ist of March, the shares stood there in the name of Pritchard, and none appeared in that of the plaintiff—the papers shown and signed Pritchard were not filled up with the numbers or name of pur chaser, but were mere forms in blank. He contended therefore that the plaintiff on the Ist of March was not in a situation to make a legal transfer of the shares. Rule granted. (Sittings in Banco.) IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY PROPRIETORS—THE BIR MINGHAM, BRISTOL, AND THAMES JUNCTION RAIL WAY COMPANY V. HOLFORD. Mr. PLATT said this was an ac ti on tr i e d b e f ore Chief Justice Tyndal at the last assizes for the county of Essex, in which there was a verdict for the plain tiffs for 4601. 18s. 6d., being 4501. for the debt, and 101. 18s. 6d. for damages and detention. He was in structed to apply for a rule to show cause why the ver dict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered, or a new trial had, by leave of the Learned Judge. The action was brought by the proposed Railway Company against the defendant, to recover the amount of three calls, namely, the 6th, 7th, and Bth instalments upon fifty shares in the undertaking, of which he was a pro. prietor. The declaration was in the usual form prescribed by the Act of Parliament. The defen dant pleaded that he was not indebted. Se . oondly, that the calls had been made in fraud and misrepre sentation. Thirdly, that at the meetings when these calls were made there were not " five Directors duly qualified" present, as required by the Act ; and there was a fourth plea that the calls were not made to de fray the expenses of the undertaking for which the Act had been obtained, but to defray the expenses of another undertaking. The Act was the 6th William IV., chap. 79, and the shares were subscribed for defraying the Parliamentary expenses of the Act, and for making a line of railway from the proposed junction 'of the London and Birmingham and Great Western Railways at Holsden-green to the basin of the Kensing ton Canal, at Kensington. Now it appeared at the trial, from the evidence of the clerk of the plaintiffs, that some of the Directors who had attended and voted at these meetings had not paid up their shares, and, there fore were not duly qualified.

TURKEY AYD EGYPT• " Copy of a Note addressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Sublime Porte to the Represen 9th ta-- tives of the Five Great Powers, dated the 1 Redjel, 11155 (Sept. 12., 1839). In the note which the Sublime Porte had the hoe nour to address to the Representatives of the F, ie e Powers on the 13th of Djemaziul-Akhir (the August) last, it expressed a desire, that sine?. those high Powers had taken upon themselves the s rrange" went of the Egyptian question, they would cons ,,der tbe means of compelling Mehemet Ali to re; urn to bds duty, and decide that he should res!ore the iinvrial fleet, re nounce his exa4gerated pretensions, and wait for t he re sults of the dispoitions to be agreed on und , 1 ,, mediation of the five Cabinets, and sanctioned Highness. " Since that period, the Sublime Porte has const ig4ll received proofs of the favourable disposition of the' u 7 Courts, and is therefore ready to do full justice t° their good intentions, while it is far from underrati .flg the difficulties of more than one kind which they 01 ' 1 ,4 have encountered in the execution of their genere ed designs. Nevertheless, more than a month has dal" et since the sending of the note, and the perfe agreement, which, thanks to Divine ProviLienee , is e tablished between the five Powers, is not manifested any positive act calculated to accomplish the ,end whi c they have proposed. The high mediatorial Powers when I too well known for their wisdom and justice no t to fee how desirable it is for the Government of his I Ligige: to see terminated, as soon as possible, a state o 4' o '3 which is pernicious to the Ottoman empire, an d' whic by spreading daily new germs of trouble and d'isordert threatens to compromise the peace of Europe. to " The accession of the Sultan Abdul Medsch the Throne has been signalized by a great act C. mency, inasmuch as he granted to Mehemet AU a 011: don for his past faults, and also the hereditary sek sion of his children in Egypt. The Pacha has rs i this kindness with the blackest ingratitude. It is tin r ; versally known that he has not only refused to mu °he the imperial fleet, which was delivered to him by t rep . basest treason, but that he tries to promote an instill ,: tion in all the countries which acknowledge the Sethi p ; power, and that he generally acts in a hostile menu et towards the Sublime Porte. " His Highness, persevering in his generous WO' tions, is still ready to grant to Mehemet All the tiered'l tary succession of his children in Egypt, as well as • pardon for every crime and impropriety which he has committed up to the present day. On these conditi° ng; his Highness's Government will be always ready to sub; scribe to an arrangement with his vassal. The colorful, of the latter, after the conclusion of such arrAnge°l; will decide how far he may be worthy of ul.terior .0: yours, which, however, can only be the s pontatre ° " to tb n c ); suit of sovereig lemency. In communicating the . . . .
