ceived a concussion of the brain, for a short time his life was despaired of. Mr. WILLIAMS—No, no. Sir J. GRAHAM—The Honourable Gentleman has asked me for an explanation, and he should not interrupt. On the morning after the assault had been committed, the police took Mr. Mayer before the magistrate. The evidence with respect to the assault was gone into, and he would say that he did not think that Mr. Tw yford exercised a very sound discretion in act ing in the manner he had, but he was quite satisfied it was only an error of judgment, and that Mr. Twyford was not swayed by any sinister motives, and he could not see sufficient reason for removing Mr. Twyford from the exercise of his judicial func tions. Mr. BERNAL said he felt bound to concur in what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. Mayer had, after having committed the assault, declared that if he had the opportunity he would again commit a similar assault. Now, supposing he had had the opportunity, and had again com mitted an assault, and death had (ensued, what would have been said to the magistrate for allowing such a person after having uttered a threat of murder to go at liberty on bail. He would have been considered almost an accessory. He thought that his Hon. Friend would have done wisely to have let the matter rested where it was. Sir C. NAPIER said the Marylebone vestry were perfectly satisfied with what the Home Secretary had done, and wished the matter to remain as it was. After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS, the motion was put, and negatived without a division. SUPPLY. Mr. DUNCOMBE said that with regard to the question of supply, he wished to remark that that was not a fit hour for going into a Committee of Supply. It had always been the custom, before going into a Committee of Supply, to fix an hour for it,.and to give regular notice.—(Cries of " No, no," from Mr. Cardwell) The Chancellor of the Exchequer, having nothing else to do, ought, in his opinion, to fix a time for entering upon business of that kind. He at all events objected to going into Supply at that hour of the night, as he had given notice of a motion which could not be entered upon at such a time. Mr. CARDWELL said he had never expressed any other impression of his intention than that Supply would be gone into if there was an opportunity. Sir CHARLES NAPIER intimated that the Hon. Gen tleman the Secretary for the Treasury had so expressed him self in reference to the question of Supply. • Mr. WILLIAMS said his complaint was, that the Supply should be forced on at so unseasonable an hour. None of them got home that morning until three o'clock, broad day light, and at midnight on the same day they were called upon to vote away 2,280,0001. of the public money. It was worse than absurd, and doing a great injustice to the public. Sir R. PEEL said he would relieve the Hon. Gentleman from the obligation of consuming the public time by not press ing the estimates on that night.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. S. Crawford's motion for adjournment was then with drawn. Mr. DUNCOMBE wished that an hour could be fixed for going into supply. Sir R. PEEL jocosely observed that any limit as to time might sometimes deprive the House of the opportunity of wit nessing the peroration of some of his speeches, which he would be obliged to cut short in order to get into supply —( Laughter.) The Government was most desirous of bring ing on the supply at as early an hour as the other business of the House admitted. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. Williams, said a few words to the same effect. Mr. HINDLEY hoped that some arrangement would be made fur bringing on the navy estimates at a definite hour in the evening, if possible. Sir R. PEEL said the Hon. Member had better come into the House, when he saw, by the paper, that it was a supply night. No definite time could be fixed. ASSESSED TAXES COMPOSITION BILL. This Bill was read a second time. BILLS OF EXCHANGE, &c., BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a second time, Sir R. FERGUSON hoped the Bill would be renewed for five years. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered that this was rather a question for the Committee than for the House at the present stage of the Bill. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Monday. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL. On the motion, that this Bill be read a second time, Mr. WA WN objected to it. as being unnecessary. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN trusted' the Hon. Member would withdraw his opposition, and that sufficient time might be allowed, before it went into Committee, for all necessary inquiries. tiir CHARLES NAPIER said that he trusted the Gallant Admiral would persevere with the Bill, and be only regretted that it did net go far enough. It was an excellent measure, and he only regretted that it was not accompanied by the Registration Bill.' WEST INDIA ISLANDS RELIEF BILL. This Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on We lnesdly next. SIR HENRY POTTINGER'S ANNUITY. The Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. SEAL-OFFICE ABOLITION BILL—COMPENSATION TO OFFICERS. This Bill also went through Committee. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock. PARLIAMENTAAY DIVISIONS.

AU others are fraudulently counterfeits!!! NEW ZEALAND. TI-e following is a more full report of Sir Robert Peel's speech than we were enabled to give in our Morning Edition of yesterday : Sir R. PEEL—Sir, it would be unfortunate if any diffe rences connected with party consideration, or any conflict that may have been carried on between the Colonial Department and the New Zealand Company, should divert our attention from considerations of what is due to the interests of that colony, which is the immediate object of our deliberation. I willingly admit that the interests of that colony are recom mended to us by many considerations. When I look to the extent of the colony, the line of the coast, the quantity of land capable of cultivation and of improvement—when I look, above all, to its position, and to the new importance it has acquired by events that have been recently passing before us, by the opening of the trade with China—l agree with the Noble Lord, that there appears every probability, so far as we are able to form a judgment, that this colony, if its interests be duly regarded, and its welfare fostered, is destined to occupy a most important station in the world. I agree with the Noble Lord that its relation with this country is most important. Surveying the whole of the unoccupied portions of the globe, I know of no part of that globe more calculated to afford a profitable outlay for the capital and for the employment of the superabundant population of this country. Every consideration, therefore, I willingly admit, recommends to our cordial attention the interests of that important colony. The question is, whe ther you will leave the continued charge of it in the hands of the executive authority, or whether you will to-night assume to the House of Commons the function of determining its future government. New, what is the course which her Majesty's Government has taken, under circumstances which I admit to be somewhat critical? We have disapproved of the conduct of Captain Fitzroy, the Go vernor of New Zealand, for whose personal character I enter tain the highest respect, and for the difficulties of whose posi tion I must make great allowance.—(Cheers.) Yet, we have signified to him in the most formal and authoritative manner, that his conduct in the administration of affairs in the colony we did not approve of ; and then, though with great reluctance, but in the performance of a necessary duty, we have removed him from the post which he undertook exclusively from the highest and purest motives.—(Loud cheers.) We have shown, therefore, in the first instance, that we have no desire to consult the interests and feelings of friends to the prejudice of the public good.—(Loud cheers.) We have made an ap pointment, or contemplate the immediate appointment. of a successor. The policy of that appointment has been questioned by some, but I happen to possess the highest authority for the judicious selection we have made. For the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) did himself select Captain Grey for the situation which he now fills—that of Governor of South Australia. But some other gentlemen tell us that he is not of high rank enough. Why, as for these native chiefs of New Zealand, do not Hon. Gentlemen believe that they attach much more im portance to the past success, the character, and the energy of the man, than they do to the conventional rank which he may happen to hold. He holds the rank of captain in the army ; but he has been successful in rescuing a colony from difficul ties which were deemed to be very great by those who ap pointed him. The Noble Lord says he presumes we shall give him instructions to enter into personal squabbles with Colonel Wakefield; I must say I think that is a most unworthy sugges tion.—( Cheers.) We shall give him the assurance of entire confidence; we shall entrust to him, so far as is con sistent with the Constitution and law of this country, an unfettered discretion, laying down no doubt the general principles by which we think he ought to be guided ; in the difficulty of issuing instructions at such a dis tance, under the circunastanees in which that colony is placed, the discretion he will have will be unfettered by any particular instructions.—( Hear, hear.) Now, with respect to the future government of this colony. Looking at its distance and the great difficulty of issuing orders from this country for its government, I for one am strongly inclined to think that representative government is suited for its condition.—( Hear. ) It has not the objection which might apply in a penal colony. You have rescued New Zealand, at any rate, from the evils attending penal establishments. I speak only of the general principle • I think there ought to be a form of government constituted for New Zealand, in connexion with those who are immediately interested in its local prosperity, assigning to them a due weight and influence in the administration of affairs. In short, I cannot think what assignable interest this country can have in New Zealand, except in the promotion of its pros perity. Why, our connexion with depend upon it, must depend altogether upon that connexion being a profitable one. —(Hear, hear.) It is impossible, at the distance we are from the country, that we can seek any advantage in a connexion, with New Zealand, except that which may result from re ciprocal interest, and, above all, from the promotion of local prosperity.—( Hear, hear. ) At the same time, it is impossible not to see the great advantages of a representative govern ment. The Noble Lord says, that Auckland has been im properly selected as the seat of the executive Government. I apprehend there were reasons for it at the time it was so selected as the seat of the civil and military arrangements; and the removal of the executive Government from Auckland must depend not upon local or general considerations merely, but upon what shall be most advantageous to the colony.— ( Hear, hear.) Considering the distance of the settlements that are extended over the northern island, it would be no easy matter now to apply the principle of a representative government according to the construction we place upon it. I believe that by far the best plan would be the formation of municipal governments, with extensive powers of local taxation, and powers of meeting all local demands to be established in the first instance. In the opinion of Mr . Burke the forms of representative government in North America did grow directly out of those municipal institutions. I do not think it would be wise to adopt the suggestion of the New Zealand Company, to make a proprietary government here. I believe the best form of government will be that the Crown here should superintend the external regulations of that country, and that the local executive government should manage the internal affairs of the colony. Would you have three authorities established? Would you have the Crown and the Company, each exerciseing control over the local govern ment ? That is a system of goventuent so untried and so ano malous, that I cannot think that success would attend it.— ( Hear, hear.) With respect to the New Zealand Company, I think it important that they should retain in full exercise the powers committed to them with regard to settlement and commerce. I believe that Company may be made a useful instrument of government, not exercising any control over the local government, but as a great commercial Company, acting on enlightened principles, and assisting the executive Government in devising means of emigration and employment for the surplus population of this country.—( Hear.) As to the question of revenue, it is very difficult, at such a great distance, to do more than to lay down general principles. But with all my respect for Capt. Fitzroy, the abandonment of all revenue constitutes a serious mischief. —( Hear.) The Customs regulations should be re-established, if there is no other mode of raising a revenue less onerous to the people of that country.—( Hear, hear.) The fact of their having been abandoned does not constitute, in my mind, any objection to their re-establishment.—(Hear, hear.) As I said before, it would be unfortunate if our personal and party conflicts prevented us from paying (Inc attention to the inter ests of that colony. If I wanted a motive for so treating those interests, it would be furnished by sympathy for those who went out thither expecting to find a prosperous home. Having said this, I come to the particular motion of the Hon. Gentleman. I come to that motion which was intended, according to the speech of the Hon. Gentleman, to affix censure and condemnation on my Noble Friend. I shall vote against the motion, because the resolutions which the most competent judge of the affairs of New Zealand, who has read more, and written more, with respect to New Zealand than, I believe, any other man in ex istence—because those seventeen resolutions which he has pro posed have nothing better to encourage one to agree to them than that they are admitted to be inapplicable to the state of affairs in that colony. —( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) That would be enough to make me determine to oppose them. Yes; I admit there is one resolution which has a direct reference to the case of New Zealand—that which declares that respect should be paid to the treaty of Waitangi. Everybody says he is ready to respect it ; but there is a great difference of opinion as to the mode in which that treaty should be respected. —( A laugh.) Bat the Hon. Gentleman intends his motion to be a condemnation of any Noble Friend.—( Hear, bear.) Now, in order that you may judge of the justice of these imputations upon my Noble Friend, I want to recal your recollection to the circumstances under which you were connected with New Zealand at first. Your feelings then were very different. There was a different impression on the public mind with respect to colonial engagements eleven years ago, when your relations with New Zealand began. In 1834 there had been a strong feeling in Parliament and amongst the people of this country, that England was justly chargeable with injustice in its treatment of the aborigines. That was the prevaiiing feel ing in 1834. That public man, whose death has been sincerely lamented by all who admire the devotion of great talents to the cause of humanity—l mean Sir Fowell Buxton—in the year 1834 in this House moved an address to the Crown to this effect—" That, deeply impressed with the duty of acting upon the principles of justice and humanity in the intercourse, of this country with the native inhabitants of its colonial settlements, the House calls upon the crown to adopt different principles from those heretofore acted upon in some of our colonial pos sessions." In 11136 a Committee was appointed at the instance of that same Sir Fowell Buxton ; evidence was taken, and in 1837 a most full and able report was made. This is one obser vation in the report. The Committee say—" It might be pre sumed that the native inhabitants of any land had an incon trovertible right to their own soil—the plain and sacred right which seems to have been understood in this coun try." In 1839 arose the question whether we should form a new relation with New Zealand. Lord Normanby was acting under the influence of that report. When we say that Lord Normanby made an imprudent engage ment, that he wrote unwise dispatches, it is easy for us to lay down those doctrines with regard to Lord Normanby as you are now disposed to do with respect to the conduct of Lord Stanley. But we do not remember what the public feeling was in regard to our relation with the aborigines which induced Lord Normanby in 1839 to act as he did. It was under the influence of that feeling, in the spirit of which the dispatches were written, that your relation with New Zea land was formed, and which now constitutes the difficulties with which Lord Stanley has to contend. The first dispatch which Lord Stanley wrote referred expressly—and I cite it as a proof that what lam stating is correct—to the report of your Select Committee, and your adoption of the principles of that report, which had made a deep impression on the public mind, with regard to the relations you should establish with the aboriginal natives of any country in which you might form a settlement. It is not the executive:Government, but you who are responsible, then ; for you agreed to the ad dress to the Crown praying the Crown to protect the rights of theaborigines ; you are responsible for the doctrines laid down by the Committee.—( Hear.) Well, the question arose, shall we establish a relation with New Zealand ; Lord Normanby expressly referred to the report of the Committee. Lord Normanby says:—" I have concurred with that Com mittee in thinking that the increase of national wealth and power promised by the acquisition of New Zealand would be a most inadequate compensation for the injury that must be in. dieted on this kingdom itself by embarking in a measure essen tially unjust, and but too certainly fraught with calamity to a numerous and inoffensive people, whose title to the soil and sovereignty of New Zealand is indisputable, and has been so lemnly recognised by the British Government." You have acknowledged New Zealand as a sovereign and independent state. I think you were wrong in tint. —( Hear.) You acted under impressions that were honourable and natural, but im pressions which induced you and the executive Government to adopt a course not only calculated to weaken your authority, but which was injurious to the natives themselves.—(Hear, hear.) I think that it would have been infinitely better to have commenced relations with New Zealand on the ground of prior discovery than on the greund of cession on the part of the chiefs. Ido not hesitate to say that the treaty of Waitargi w as most unw i se f or the n atives themselves. I think it would have been much better for us to have asserted the right of sovereignty wi th the usual formalities, rather than t o have v t e o accep te d sov ereignty by cession from what took place in 1839—100 k to the chiefs. the instruction s w t e o re Ctoaptthaii n e fr H eo o t bs : o_n, ,, N w e h w o Majesty's Zea lanci is independe nt, rhvoey was to form the tre aty , The Queen, in common with her . . jects every intention to se t i ;c:ssiir, disclaims for herself and sub or to govern them as part of " the islands of New Zealand, the dominions unless with the free and intelligent conse nt of Great Britain, pressed according to established the natives, ex- Government have resolved to authori ze to obtained.

Ire, 3then, . were instructions to Captain Hobson to accept a partial do minion from these chiefs ! Observe what Lord Normanby says in his instructions to Captain Hobson. He says : " These, however, are impediments to be gradually overcome by the exercise, on your part, of mildness, justice, and perfe ct sincerity in your intercourse with them (the natives. ) (Hear, hear.) You now profess to find that the mis ionaries are inconvenient auxiliaries. What said Lord Normanby to Captain Hobson ? He said,—" You will, I trust, find powerful auxiliaries amongst the missionaries, who have won and deserved the confidence of the people, and among the older British residents, who have studied their character and acquired their language." —( Hear, Lear.) It is therefore rather hard to turn round now, and after accepting the aid of the missionaries in esta blishing your authority, to denounce them as land-jobbers.— (Hear, hear.) These methods obviated the dangers of the acquisition of large tracts of country by mere land-jobbers; it will be your duty to obtain by fair and equal contracts with the natives the cession to the Crown of such waste lands as may be progressively required for the occupation of settlers resort ing to New Zealand. There is, then, no claim here on the part of the Crown to possession of the territory in consequence of sovereignty, but Captain Hobson is merely directed to treat with the natives, according as the wants of the settlers might arise, for lands not actually enjoyed or occupied by them, but for the waste lands of the islands, with the express admission that those lands were of no value to the natives ; for Lord Nor manby proceeds:—" To the natives or their chiefs much of the land of the country is of no actual use." Is it not clear that Lord Normanby's instructions to Captain Hobson were to take the lands, not by any prerogative of the Crown, but by cession from the natives ? I now contrast the language you hold now, with respect to these engagements, with the language held then. The New Zealand Company state, that with respect to these contracts they had always had ' serious doubts whether the treaty of Watonga, made with native ' savages, would be treated by lawyers otherwise than as a praiseworthy device for amusing and pacifying savages. I be ' lieve that there are a good many lawyers in the New Zealand Company ; and this may be the language of lawyers ; and if you hold this doctrine, you will vote for the resolutions of the Hon. Gentleman, for they are founded on such a doctrine.— (Hear, hear.) Jut what was the language of statesmen ? Was ' it that those engagements were a praiseworthy device for ' amusing and pacifying savages ?—( Hear.) The Noble Lord opposite wrote to Captain Hobson as follows :—" Among the many barbarous tribes with which our extended colonial em pire brings us into contact in different parts of the globe, there are none whose claims on the protection of the British Crown rests on grounds stronger than those of the New Zealanders. They are not mere wanderers over an extended surface in search of a precarious subsistence, nor tribes of hunters or of herds men, but a people among whom the arts of government have made some progress ; who have established by their own customs a division and appropriation of the soil ; who are not without some measure of agricultural skill, and a certain subordina tion of ranks, with usages having the character and authority of law. In addition to this, they have been formally recognised by Great Britain as an independent State, and even in assuming the dominion of the country this principle was acknowledged ; for it is on the deliberate act and cession of the chiefs, on behalf of the people at large, that our title rests." That was the language held by statesmen. You must hear before you come to the vote which the Hon. Gentleman asks you to adopt. Do not transfer the responsibility to Lord Stanley. He is acting in pursuance of your avowed intentions, and before you con demn you must hear the qualifications, reserves, and appre hensions with which the native chiefs entered into the treaty. Observe what Captain Hobson says with respect to the forma tion of the treaty. He had appointed a levee to be held at the house of Mr. Busby, at which the parties to this negotiation were invited to be present. Captain Hobson says:—" Pre paratory to the meeting, I had appointed a levee to be held at Mr. Busby's house, at eleven o'clock, to which I invited all the principal European inhabitants, the members of the Chnrch of England and Catholic missions, and ad the officers of this ship, and was highly gratified to find that nearly every one either here or in the neighbourhood favoured me with their attendance I then read the treaty, a copy of which I have the honour to inclose ; and in doing so, I dwelt on each article, and offered a few remarks explanatory of such passages as they might be supposed not to understand. %Ir. H. Williams, of the Church Missionary Society, did me the favour to interpret, and repeated in the native tongue, sentence by sentence, all I said. When I bad finished read ing the treaty, I invited the chiefs to ask explanations on any point they did not comprehend, and to make any observe • tions or remarks on it they pleased. Twenty or thirty chiefs addressed the meeting, five or six of whom opposed me with great violence, and at one period with such effect,- and so cleverly, that I began to apprehend an unfavourable impression would be produced. Revewah, while addressing me, turned to the chiefs and said, Send the man away; do not sign the paper; if you do, you will be reduced to the condition of slaves, and be obliged to break stones for the roads. Your land will be taken from you, and sour dignity as chiefs will be de stroyed.' At the first pause Neni came forward and spoke with a degree of natural eloquence that surprised all the Europeans, and evidently turned aside the temporary feeling that had been created. He first addressed himself to his own coun trymen, desiring them to reflect on their own condition, to re collect how much the character of the New Zealanders had been exalted by their intercourse with Europeans, and how impossible it was for them to govern themselves without fre quent wars and bloodshed; and he concluded his harangue by strenuously advising them to receive us and to place confidence in oar promises. He then turned to me and said, ' Yon must be our father. You must not allow us to become slaves. You must preserve our customs, and never permit our lands to be wrested from us.' One or two other chiefs, who were favour able, followed him in the same strain, and one reproached a noisy fellow named Kitigi, of the adverse party, with having spoken rudely to me. Kitigi, stung by the remark, sprang for ward and shook me violently by the hand, and I received the salute apparently with equal ardour. This occasioned amongst the natives a general expression of applause, and a loud cheer from the Europeans, in which the natives joined; and thus the business of the meeting closed, further consideration of the question being adjourned to Friday at 11 o'clock, leaving, as I said, one clear day to reflect on my proposal." The conse quence was that the treaty was signed. These were the cir cumstances under which this inconvenient treaty was made ; and I ask, will you commence your relations with the colony by an abandonment of the obligations you have entered into ? —( Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord said that he had been charged with having formed a contract with the New Zealand Company inconsistent with the treaty of Watonga. He was particularly severe on those on this side of the House who had preferred this charge against him ; but that was the very charge that had been preferred against him within the last fort night by the New Zealand Company.—( Hear, hear.) It is wrong, perhaps, to attribute to any particular writer the au thorship of a document signed by that Company ; but I think it must have been written by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite (Mr. C. Buller). It states that it is impossible re concile the missionary system and that of the CompanyTthat the missionaries and the Company proceeded on systems directly opposed to each other, and that the treaty of Watonga was based on the missionary principle, while Lord J. Russell acted on the colonisation principle. The charge, there , fore, of acting inconsistently with the treaty of Wa tonga is not preferred by us, but by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who sits near the Noble Lord, and with whom the Noble Lord says he is prepared to vote.—( Hear, hear.) Did my Noble Friend (Lord Stanley) wish to act illiberally towards the company ? His wish was, as the Company h a d not established a claim to any land, or at least any sufficient quantity of land, to assign to them all he could assign on a con ditional title, subject by other articles to a subsequent proving of that title. With my Hon. Friend's impressions he could do no more ; he said to the Company, " I will permit you within certain limits to choose the land you require, on the condition of a preferable claim being established hereafter," the onus of establishing that claim being thrown on the adverse party, and the right of pos session being given to this powerful Company. I leave the House to judge if my Noble Friend can be justly charged with harshness towards the Company. You may censure him for his construction of the treaty of Watonga, but it was a bow; fide and conscientious construction. He does not admit the title of the natives to all the waste lands ; he ad mits an obligation on the part of the native chiefs to establish their claim, but, unfortunately, no steps have been taken towards doing it. The Noble Lord opposite speaks of the registration as if it was like that of Yorkshire or Middlesex. It is nothinr , of the sort. It is only to establish a valid title to the land. But the real question is this—whether you think it just, after the reference made to engagements entered into after the instructions given by Lord Normsoby, and after the appro val of the Noble Lord opposite, you will now, by aairming these resolutions, affix a censure on my Noble Friend, who has done nothing mole, in my opinion, than maintain the honour of the country, by respecting its engagements and carry ing into effect those opinions which, whatever may be the doctrines you now hold, were the opinions of the House of Commons ten years from this period. If the House of Commons in contradiction to that course, and by a manifest perversion of those doctrines maintained by the Committee on the state of the aborigines, should now affirm that, the treaty of Watonga enables the Crown to dispossess the chiefs of all their land without full inquiry, you will lower the character of the House in the estimation of all who respect fidelity to public engagements.--(Laud cheers.) If you affix a censure on my Noble Friend, you will pass a censure on one who has not yielded to the influence of powerful parties, who has not borne in mind that in this New 'Zealand Company there are men high in character, and powerful in influence on this side the House—who might have procured peace and re pose by yielding to applications from those powerful parties-- but who has thought it;his public duty, with a conscientious re gard to what is duc to the honour and good faith of this power ful country, to maintain inviolate the engagements which it had contracted against the interests of the powerful and the strong, but maintaining the guaranteed rights of the weak, the distant, and the unprotected.—( Great cheering. ) PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN.) SMITH V. PRETTIE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; who was the mother of the young woman seduced, against the defendant for damages for the loss of her daughter's services in consequence of her seduction. Mr. COLE stated the case for the plaintiff. The parties he con fessed were persons in very humble circumstances ; the plaintiff; a laundress, and the defendant, the son of a green-grocer, residing in St. Pancras parish. They had been some years acquaintances, and the young man had been an accepted lover. The parents of both knew of the attachment, and theyoung girl visited at the de fendant's father's house, as the defendant did at her mother's. At an early period of their acquaintance the defendant had determined on marrying the girl, and actually put up the banns in the parish church, but the defendant's father remonstrated with the girl herself on the impropriety of an improvident union like this be tween two persons so young, and who were not independent of their parents. la the justice of these observations it appeared that Amelia Smith complied, but the intimacy continued until about a twevernonth ego, when the defendant was entertained, on a Sand ay afternoon, at tea, iu the apartment occupied by the plain tiff. This unfortunate tete.a-tete proved the girl's undoing. The intimacy after this evening became still more strict, as might naturally be anticipated, until she became pregnant, a fact which she communicated to the defendant, who again pro posed to marry her, and once more had the banns pub lished. This laudable intention was frustrated by the remon. strances of the defendant's father. The girl's mother being made to support the expenses incident to her daughter's condition, applied to the authorities of St. Pancras parish. A surgeon was ordered to attend her in her lying in, and on defendant's refusing assistance, the girl affiliated the child, and obtained an order on him to pay 10s. and costs, with 2s. per week for the child's main tenance. Amelia Smith, a well-looking, decently-attired young woman, about 20 years of age, was then examined. She gave her evidence very clearly, and without hesitation or confusion. She corrobo rated the statement of her counsel in all the material facts, stating that she helped her mother in her business as a laundress, and in carrying linen to her mother's customers. Mr. WILKINS made a speech, partly grave and in part jocose, on the part of the defendant, whom he represented to be a young man, or rather a youth, at the time of their early intimacy, who might rather be considered the party de luded than the young woman, as it was notorious that in these matters a girl of 18 was much more shrewd than a youth of 17. The jury should, in giving their verdict on this occasion, avoid affording any inducements to young persons in puulic life to submit to the wishes of a young man who might be able to pay damages through his parent rather than follow a course of useful industry. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up the material facts ofthe evidence, remarked that the plaintiff had not used in this instance all the caution she might have been expected to exercise. The jury, after a minute's consultation, gave a ♦erdict for the plaintiff—Damages 201. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 20. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) LIDEL...—THOMAS WAKLEY, ESQ., M.P., P. HEALEY AND WETHERS. His Lordship took his seat on the bench soon after nine o'clock The jury having been sworn, Mr. BRANNELL opened the case, and said this was a complaint for a public libel. The defendants had not pleaded but suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. JARVIS, Q.C., said he appeared as Counsel for :Ur. Wakley, who complained of a libel disgraceful and serious in its character. Mr. Wakley was Coroner for the county of Middlesex, a high and important office. He was also Member for the borough of Finsbury. It was unnecessary to allude to his politics, which were well known ; but it was well known that in this country po. Mice were never allowed to intrude into a court of justice. Mr. Wakley was also well known as the proprietor of the Lancet pub. lication. He was sorry to say that one of the defendants, Mr. Healey was a barrister, and Mr. We; hers, the other, a surgeon. They werethe proprietors of the Medical Times newspaper, a paper of considereble circulation. The libel was published 'in a letter which appeared in the Medical Times of the 25th of January last, and was printed in large type. The Learned Counsel then read the letter. It is of great length, and is headed, " A Proposal for Mr. Wakley's Trial by a Jury of Gentlemen ;",and, among other statements ; charges bim with ruining the London College of Medi cine, the British Medical Association, and the Medical Protection Association, by taking them under his protection. The following extract will give the reader some idea of the libel : " Three National Associations sunk helpless under his aid! Three hostile Colleges flourishing by his opposition! Himself con temned here, spurned there, suspected everywhere! Such is the terrible result of a whale life's ceaseless action; such the awful shipwreck of a fortune steered by the helm infamy :—What a spell, mystic and divinely misguiding, in a ruined repute! Fate wits not even h-ve good by such an instrument !" _ _ The Learned Counsel continued—There were some parts of this letter as vulgar as they were unintebigitile, but, on the whole, it was highly calculated to damage the character of any man. What he chiefly complained of was that the malignant charges made in the letter were of so general a nature that there was no such thing as answering them. If there were 500 cbcrges, however grave they might have been, he would have engaged to reply to them, but no man could reply to those sweeping and general accusations, pointing to no one act, and mentioning no one fact. The letter raised suspicions of a thousand times more heinous in their character than any direct change could set forth, and this was the reason this vague mode of writing was selected. If the letter was not dictated by personal malice, it could only have been got up for the still more selfish purpose of pushing a paper into circulation. He was instructed to say that Mr. Wakley felt more poignantly the course taken by the defendants. They did not even condescend to explain the charges they had made, so that even when damages were awarded the public would still say something remains hidden which has not been explained—there is a stain upon Mr. Wakley which has not been obliterated. Mr. Wakley, as much as any man, admitted the right of a public journalist to canvass his public conduct in the fullest manner, but tl.ere was not a single paragraph in this in famous letter which did not reflect upon his character as a man. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling on tbatjury to give such amount of damages as would mark their sense of the atrocity of the libel. Proofs were then handed in of the ownership of the publication, whereupon Mr. Healey one of the defendants (a barrister), said he rose under great disadvantages to reply to the accusations of the Learned Counsel. He could assure the jury that the letter referred to was written with no such motives as those which had been assigned. He disclaimed entirely any of those feelings of enmity towards Mr. Wakley which the Learned Counsel had attributed. He was in fluenced by no such feelings He thought the whole question was whether the letter affected Mr. Wakley in his piablic character or not ; far if it did they would return only nominal damages, as the custom of commenting on public characters, as such. was too well established and recognised as to admit of its being longer questioned or disputed. Had the letter one personal allusion—had it a single remark on his private character—was it any way calculated:to disturb his fireside, or in any Nay affect his domestic relations ? No such thing. Mr. Wakley was a public man —had rendered himself very prominent as such—and it was in this light, and this light only, the letter applied. The Learned Counsel went on to com. ment on the paragraphs in the letter, and went on to say that nothing could be more injurious to the publication itself than to publish merely defamatory matter, for its readers comprised a jury who would, as Mr. Wakley well knew, be the most ready to punish, by the instant withdrawal of their countenance and support, sky breach of social order, any merely malicious attack upon an individual. The Learned Counsel, who quoted a variety of instancess where great freedom had been used by editors of newspapers in their re marks upon public men, concluded by calling on the jury to respect the liberty of the msg. put a liberal construction on the letter, and return a farthing damages. The letter got into the paper by an accident, rather than anything else, and the object of the plaintiff was to ruin a rival publication. Mr. Wethers, the othcr defendant, then rose to reply, but sat down again without doing so.. The - CHIEF BsttoN said the publication was one which the plaintiff had a right to complain of. If the defendants stood upon their right as public journalists, they should not have pleaded guilty, but as they had not done so, the only question for the jury was the amount of damages. The liberty of the press should, if exercised with freedom, be at least exercised with fair_ ness, but there was no right, on the part of the public press, to assail with wanton and malignant abuse, or from worse motives, any public men. By the Act respecting libel, passed in August, 1E44'2, a defendant might, in mitigation of damages, offer an apology before the commencement of the action, or as soon after as he had an opportunity. H e might plead that it was inserted without malice, and that at the earlest opportunity an apology was in serted, or that it was published from gross neglect. Again, the defendant might plead the truth of the libel, or he might pay a sum of money into Court, which the plaintiff might accept or not, and forego or persevere in the action, as he pleased. None of these courses had been pursued by the defend ants, who had suffered judgment to go by default. If this letter were not a libel it would be difficult to say what was. His Lord. ship then read the paragraphs of the letter seriatim, commenting upon each as he went along. The letter was written with a con. siderable share of a certain kind of ability, and the plain meaning of it was, Mr. Wakley is a very bad character; he damages every cause with which be is mixed up, and we call for inquiry; and these opinions enforced with phrases of considerable power. The jury would give damages commensurate with the injury done to his reputation, and to his w'.unded feelings, and none could so pro. perly determine that amount a, a jury. The conduct of the de fendants in the present case had not been to aggravate the libel, but they must award such damage as the circumstances of the case and the nature of the libel demanded. The damages ought to be fair and satisfactory, and of such a nature as to mark the just sense which they entertained of the value of character. The jury retired, and after the lapse of two hours, returned into Court with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1504 SUMMER CIRCUITS. (From Last Night's Gazette.) CROWN-OFFICE, JUNE 20, 1845.

SLAVE TRADE—THE AUGUSTA.—Captain Jennings, the com mander of the ship Augusta, which our readers will recollect it was alleged was fitted out by Mr. Zulueta, for the purpose of carrying on the slave trade, and for which he was tried and acquitted, sur. rendered to take his trial for navigating the vessel for such an illegal purpose. The prisoner has been already tried upon the same charge in Sierra Leone, and acquitted. Upon the judges taking their seats the prisoner was placed at the bar. He is of rather short stature, and of rather gentlemanly appearance. Mr. Payne and Mr. Lush appeared as Counsel for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. D. Hill, Mr. V. Williams, and Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoner. Mr. PAY NE addressed the jury for the prosecution, and called the following witnesses : Captain Hill examined by Mr. - Ivan—He stated that he was now the Governor of the Gold Coast. In 1835 he commanded the ship Sarah on the coast of Africa. Had been on that coast from Sept., 1837, to June, 1841. He was there for the protection of British commerce and the prevention of the slave trade. Was acquainted with the Gullinas. Had made it rough sketch of its situation himself. It was a river not navigable for large vessels such as the Gallupchick. During the time he was there he could ells cover no trade being carried on in the Gullinas but the slave trade. In 1840 they destroyed between six and seven slave esta blishments there by means of their squadron. He had never wit nessed the sale of slaves there, but there were baracoons and other things for the purpose of carrying on the slave trade. When the squadron landed and advanced on the slave establishments, the owners fled. Witness knew the name of Rolo at the Gullinas. He never saw him as a slave. dealer, but he was reputed to b one. Saw Rolo at a place called Dumbocoro. There were baracoons there, one very large one, and several large houses belonging to it. Had seen Diemes at Sierra Leone, but not at Gullinas. Had seen Alvarez at a small town near Gullinas. Never saw any baracoons there. Baracoons were large bnildings for keeping slaves in. They were generally near the coast, and slaves were kept in them till an opportunity was afforded of taking them away. In 1839 they captured a yes. eel sailing under the Russian flag, called the Gallupchick ; at that time she was under the command of a person named Bernares. Witness sent her to Sierra Leone to be prosecuted in the Mixed Commission Court, but that Court would not entertain the subject, in consequence of her sailing under the Russian flag. Bernares went with her to Sierra Leone. Witness then sent her to England. Captured the same vessel again near Gullinas, under the name of the Augusta. The prisoner was then in command of her, and she was sailing under English colours. Witness asked the prisoner for the vessel's papers, which he gave, when witness said he recognished the vessel as , ne that he had seized under another n.me ; to which he replied, he was not aware of that Witness told the prisoner the previous name of the vessel, but he did not recollect what answer he gave. Witness afterwards demanded to know to whom the vessel was consigned, to which the prisoner replied, "Oh, I know better than Li tell you that' . Several other witnesses were then examined, who repeated the evidence which they had given in the prosecution against Mr. Zuluetta some months sin :e. Mr. HILL addressed the jury on behalf of Captain Jennings, after which The JupoE summed up, and The jury retired, and after an absence of two hours, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The verdict was received with cheers, which were immediately repressed by the officers of the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HOUSE. When the necessity for making the approaches to London. bridge rendered it indispensable that several of the parishes should be re-assessed. the united parishes of St. Benet, Grace church-street, and St. Leonard, Eastcheap, were amongst those in which the parishioners assembled to establish a new assessment of the rates. The refusal of Mr. Walter Owen Hills, one of the parishioners, to pay the amount of the rate assessed to him according to the new arrangement, and his resolute opposition to those who were expected to enforce its observance, gave rise to disputes which led to appeals to the Court of Aldermen, which appeals were decided against Mr. Hills, but without at all altering or qualifying his disin clination to pay the demands of the parish. The principle ill on which the assessment was made was that of the poor rate, so that each inhabitant paid, or was expected to pay, according to the amount of the value of the premises occupied—a regulation which the mass of the parishioners considered to be the most equitable, and Mr. Hills' objection was, that as the chapel, and the school-rooms, and the vestry-rooms, and the church-yard of the Quakers' meeting ' house in White Hart -court, were not assessed, he ought to be exempt from the operation of the tithe. To that doctrine the Court of Aldermen showed three or four times, the utmost repugnance upon the representation of Mr. Hubbard, the vestry-clerk of the above united parishes. On Thursday a joint meeting of the two parishes took place, for the purpose of appointing assessors, according to the Act of Parliament, to make the annual rate in lieu of tithes, and Mr. Hills attended as a parishioner. An objection was suggested, as we were given to understand, to permitting him to vote, upon the ground that his claim was forfeited in consequence of his re fusal to pay any of the rates assessed , whereupon a row took place, out of which a serious charge sprang against the dis sentient parishioner, and the parties immediately appeared be •fere the Lord Mayor. The following evidence was given : Mr. J. J. Hubbard, of No. 1, Queen-street-place, South wark-bridge, solicitor, and vestry-clerk of St. Benet, Grace church-street, and St. Leonard, Eastcheap, stated that about one o'clock he was' attending his duty as vestry-clerk at a vestry of the united parishes, when the defendant, Mr. Hills, without any provocation whatever, threw his body with great force intentionally against him, and hurled him against the wainscot behind. Mr. Hills had just previously said, with reference to certain transactions which had taken place before, that he knew it was Mr. Hubbard; that the parishes had been humbugged for many years past through him (Mr. Hubbard), and he made use of other violent language. In consequence of that conduct, and previous offensive conduct on the part of the defendant, Mr. Hubbard declared that he considered that his person was in danger unless the defendant was restrained. In answer to questilns put by the defendant, Mr. Hubbard said that he neither made offensive observations nor offensive gestures. Mr. John Crossland (one of the Society of Friends) of No. 2, Fenchurch-street, stationer, stated that he had been in the ves try, and heard Mr. Hills claim to see the rate•book. Mr. Hills made a rush against him, and said he would do something against the tithe. Witness said, '• Do it," and the defendant rail at him with doubled fist, and threatened to lay him on the floor ; and witness apprehended danger from him unless he was restrained. Mr. Gann, of Fenchurch street, hosier, stated that he also attended the meeting. He saw the defendant conducting himself peaceably, but the defendant said he demanded to see the rate-book, and a gentleman said he had no righ.t to see it unless he paid the rate, whereupon he insisted upon seeing the book, and rushing at it like a mad bullock, ran against Mr. Crossland and several others. Said witness was a d—d liar, because witness said that he (Mr. Hills) did not know what honesty was, and pushed violently against witness. Mr. Shaw, a solicitor and parishioner, came forward to add his lestimon3, but The LORD MAYOR said there was no occasion for further statements before him, as it was his determination to send the case to the sessions. His Lordship then called upon the de fendant to find sureties in each of the three cases of alleged as sault to the amount of 1001., and be himself responsible to the amount of 1001. Yesterday Mr. Hills entered into the required sureties to the amount of 600/., to answer the charge at the sessions on the sth of July. Mary Allen, who was stated to have been once an accom plished woman, was put to the bar upon the extraordinary charge of having attempted to destroy herself by swallowing the key of a chamber-door. The unfortunate creature had, it appeared, lately lost her father, to whom she had been greatly attached, and her hue. band, who seemed to be respectable, ascribed the low state of mind to which she had been reduced to that calamity and the excitement caused by intoxicating liquors to which she had fled as a refuge. From tile evidence given it turned out that she had locked. the door of the room on Saturday, and that on Sunday morn ing, between seven and eight, a policeman who was stationed on London-hridge having heard that she had swallowed a key, took her to St. Thomas's Hospital, where the key was drawn from her throat, down which it had gone out of sight com pletely, and from which it was extracted by Mr. Ledger, with the assistance of another surgeon. The defendant said 3he could not account for her conduct in any other way than by ascribing it to the madness of a moment, and she declared that she had taken no more than a little porter on the day the occurrence took place. The LORD MAYOR having received her assurance of deep regret, desired her husband to take her home and protect her. Laurenee Neal, charged with having thrust a tobacco-pipe into the eye of Edward Russell, is a public-house, was re manded till Friday. THE WEATHER..—Since Thursday last the weather has been excessively hot, the thermometer standing frequently at .80 dig. in the shade; while at intervals we have had refreshing and invigorating showers. The crops of all kinds are in consequence making rapid progress. The wheat crop is rank and luxuriant in the extreme. Beans are now in bloom, and are healthy, strong and vigorous, with abundance of plants. Barley and oats are growing rapidly, and covering the clod very closely. Potatoes are now rowed in many places, and in some spots where they mere planted early they have been hoed, and some few drilled up. We have not yet heard of any failures. Early sown turnips, as Swedes, are brairded and rowed, while the late are just going into the ground. The genial weather is also telling remarkably upon the pastures, where, in many eases, the usual supply of stock is quite unable to keep them under. The rye-grass crops, in consequence of the late abuntiarit' rains, will be more bulky than was at one time anticipated.— Gtasgow 4rgus. DOCKS. I Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of I Paid. Price.
