HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 3 Mr. ENTWISLE said there was now sought in this Bill a power to regulate railway companies in their pro ceedings, even before coming to that House for their Act. This was a power which might be exercised in a very dangerous manner, and which, therefore, he should strongly warn the. House to be careful of conceding. The Bill gave the power to receive the deposits of share holders—a thing unheard of before. Again, it was pro posed to invest in the Board of Trade a power to pur chase hereafter such railways as might now or at any future period be contemplated and formed. These things, he must really suggest, were eminently worthy of the reconsideration of the Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade. Mr. BROTHERTON said he really could not see why there should be so much hesitation in going into Committee on this Bill. For his own part, he thought there had been a good many railway schemes brought forward in connexion with which there had been more fraud and felony than ever he had heard of before in connexion with public matters.—(Hear, hear.) Many persons were extremely anxious to have railway matters excluded from the operation of this Bill; but, though he was aware it was an unpopular opinion, he felt bound to say they ou g ht not to be excluded.—(Hear, hear.) There were constantly bubble schemes going forward to derange the market, and injure the honest bona fide speculator, that, under the provisions of this Bill, would never see the light at all.—(Hear, hear.) Let them go into Committee, and then they might be able to correct the defects of the Bill, and send it forth to the world a useful and valuable measure for the protection of the community. Sir J. GUEST explained.: s ' 4 `+ --- Sir. WALTER JAMES thought the Bill a most use• ful measure, encouraging, as it did, the trade of the country on the one hand, and discouraging bubble com panies on the other. He approved of the preliminary investigation' which had been objected to by the Member for Sheffield. A preliminary investigation was insisted on in all cases in which companies came to Parliament for a Bill, and he thought such an investigation ought to take place in all cases. i . Mr. M. PHILIPS had come dowrit to the House entertaining considerable prejudice against the Bill, but the course which the debate had taken had convinced him of the propriety of going into Committee. He cer tainly, with regard to railways, thought considerable caution ought to be exercised to prevent companies making an improper use of names. He himself had been asked some time ago by an Hon. Member to put his name on the back of the Carlisle and Glasgow Railway Bill, and, considering that a direct communication be tween Manchester and Glasgow would be advantageous, he had consented to do so. To his surprise, a few days afterwards he had seen his name in the newspapers as a member of a provisional committee of a railroad in embryo. He of course took me asures i mme di ate l y to rectify the mistake. Mr. J. 5. WORTLEY hoped that, while excluding railroad companies from the operations of the Bill, they would exclude sham railroad companies. One of the grossest frauds ever perpetrated had been called a railroad company. He thought the clause making those who lent the guarantee of their names liable, a most wholesome enactment. He had no pity for those persons who thus lent their names and induced others to risk their property in undertakings of this nature. He thought the word " promoter" ought to be more clearly defined. He had himself, before he had the honour of a seat in that House, been a promoter of a Railway Bill before a Committee. He thought the words of the clause ought to be so defined as not to in elude those who were professionally employed in promoting Bills before Committees.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Lambeth had agreed to the whole of the resolutions of the Committee on which the Bill was founded with one exception, a point on which he divided the Committee. If the resolutions were com pared with the Bill, they would be found closely to re semble each other. Mr. HAWES explsined. He contended that the Bill went much further than the resolutions, conferring powers which the resolutions never contemplated. Mr. ROEBUCK objected to part of the principle of the Bill, and stated also that within a very few hours a most important, clause had been introduced into the Bill. He eid not sea any objection to including joint-stock companies and the for mation of railways in the Bill. If it ' was to prevent fraud, it was as proper to prevent frauds in railway companies as in any other. He com plained that the Solicitor-General was not present on an occasion of discussing a Bill so important as the pre sent one, and objected to the power under the Act given to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which was no less than that of preventing parties from coming before Parliament for Bills. This was a distinct principle, and as it had not been discussed sufficiently, he hoped the Committee would not be pressed. Strangers sere then ordered to withdraw, but Mr. HAWES laving stated that after the discussion he would not divide the House, his amendment was withdrawn, and the House went into Committee, 'Jr. PRINGLE in the Chair. Clause 1 was then agreed to. On clause 2 being proposed, Mr. HAWES asked how this Bill was to apply to incorporated companies? Mr. GLADSTONE said the Bill would certainly apply to future incorporated companies, as, in some points, it applied to those already formed. The Act did not apply either to Scotland or Ireland, but to England only. Mr. HAWES said the Bill applied to all Scotch and Irish companies having agencies in England. Unless it reached all companies, this would have an unjust and partial operation. Mr. GLADSTONE said he applied the Act to these companies simply because they were not exclusively Scotch or Irish companies, but carried on their opera tions in England. After some discussion, the Right Hon. Gentleman suggested that the clause should be passed as it stood, reserving the point, whether it should extend to Scotland, for forther consideration. Mr. HAWES said he thought the clause ought to be postponed. After a few words from Capt. LAYAIU) and Mr. J. S. WORTLEY, • Mr. GILL moved that the Chairman do report progress. After some discussion the CHAIRMAN reported pro gress and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. COVENT -GARDEN PETITION. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Bir mingham, praying for inquiry into railway charges for goods and passengers ; also praying for the a petition, agreed to at a public meeting in Covent-ga rden, libera tion of Daniel O'Connell, Esq.,and his fellow prisoners. Mr. WARD presented a petition from certain settlers in New Zealand, praying that the titles to their property might be established on a sure foundation. Mr. the Joint-Stock Comp an i es R eg i strat i on an d R egu l at i on BECKET pres ente d a petition from Leeds against Lord SANDON wished to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman the President of the Board of Trade at what time there would be parties in Java and Manilla who would be authorised to issue certificates of origin of sugar, and also whether in cases where certificates could not be ob tained sugar would be admitted without a certificate ? Mr. GLADSTONE said that the advices which would go out by the July mail from this country to Java and M an ila, would find persons there qualified to issue cer tificates as to the produce of those islands. In answer to the other part of the Noble Lord's question, he said that a discretionary power of course would be vested in the Board of Customs as to the admission of sugar with out certificate. In answer to a question from M r . HAWES, Mr. GLADSTONE said, that as the matter was not in his department, he could not distinctly say what the Post-office arrangements were in respect to communica tion with the East India Islands. But he understood that Manilla was the port chosen for the Philippine Islands, and that the Dutch Government would not allow intercourse with any other than three ports in the island place. allg, Batavia, and another of Java ; those were Samar TH E COMMERCIAL ATL AS.

Mr. Sergeant MURPHY moved that this House will, upon Tuesday next, resolve itself into a Committee, to take into consideration the Act 17 am? 18 Car. 2, e. 7, intituled " An Act for provision of Ministers in Cities and corporate Towns, and making the Church of St. Andrew's, in the suburbs of the City of Dublin, presen- tative for over," with a view to the repeal of so much thereof as relates to the payment of Ministers in corpo rate towns in Ireland. He said that the Act was passed for the purpose of providing religious instruction for Pro testant immigrants from this country and the Continent into Ireland. It was no longer necessary; and although it produced no more than 15,0001. a year, it was at once oppressive and offensive to the Roman Catholic population. He knew many Protestant clergymen who derived a portion of their stipend from this peculiar source, who would feel grateful to the Government if it would devise means for relieving them from getting their revenues in such an unpleasant manner. He had read a statement from a Protestant clergyman in Cork on this subject. It was stated that the late Dr. Warren had distrained on &portion of his parishioners for ministers' money. A deputatiod waited on him and requested him to give back th• goods which he had distrained. His reply was, that he wished to Ged some other mode of re munerating him could be devised by the Government, but that he owed it as a duty to his successor to maintain his rights, and he was justified in doing so. —(Hear, hear.) They had replied to him that he had many rich Protestants among his parishioners, and that he- should look to them. He replied that those who made the observation knew little of Protestants, for they were the worst paymasters he had. He trusted the House would do him the justice to believe that he was actuated by no sectarian motives in bringing forward this subject, as all he wanted was to induce the Government to provide a revenue for the clergy with out having recourse to these charges. The Act had established a valuation of all existing houses, but it had fixed certain limits, by enacting that no house should be valued as being worth more than 60/. a year. The con sequence was, that the houses of the rich, which were perhaps worth 200/, were assessed to the ministers money only at 601. a year, while the houses of the poor were assessed _at their full rental, and if the assessmen was not paid the goods were at once distrained, and there was no appeal against that distraint. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by formally proposing his motion. REMOVED FROM BIRMINGHA t 1 FO LUNUON.

Lord ELIOT had certainly promised last session to take the subject into consideration. The Attorney-General for Ireland had maturely considered the subject, but he regretted to state that the Learned Gentleman had been unable to devise any plan which would be satisfactory to the persons subject to the payment of the tax, without de priving the clergy of that to which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman himself admitted they were fairly entitled. Similar charges existed in the capitals of England and Scotland, and it should be remembered that at the time this Act passed Roman Catholics were incapacitated by law from holding houses ; therefore it was a tax im posed upon Protestant property exclusively, and Roman Catholics who had since become possessed of that pro perty, had acquired it subject to this tax, and, there fore, had purchased it for less than they would other wise have given for it. He could not accede to the mo tion, and he hoped the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would not press it. Mr. BELLEW hoped that before another session the Government would prepare a measure to get rid of this grievance. .., Lord STANLEY hoped, that before the end of the next session, something would be done upon the sip• ject. vey was, that she was found to make a little water, and the pumps being worked, very littl e was b roug h t up. A second examination, by three other persons, was afterwards insti tuted. On this occasion a p ar t o f th e cargo was removed, and she was found to leak much less in consequence, the quantity being only three feet .and a half in twenty-four hours. Her knee-beams were found strained. In this con dition it was very difficult to replace the crew, or keep the Rroomen at work, and though the aid of the magistrates was procured, it was ultimately abandoned, as being impossible. When it was then perceived that there was no convenient place for laying a vessel up, it was agreed to sell her. This was effected by her captain, Mr. Walker, who obtained 230/. for her, under the direction and advice of the surveyors. Ni ' blame rested upon him. Mr. ERLH, for the defendant, contended, from the evidence as it then stood, that no substantial injury to the vessel had arisen from bad weather. On the other hand, he could show, and to a certain extent he was borne out by the plaintiff, that the injury was occasioned by the teak having been put in improperly. The long leverage of some of these heavy beams would throw the sternpost away from the ship's side. This was where the leak occurred, the workmen could not stop it, not having power to bring the separated parts together. The vessel had borne the best name in the Sierra Leone trade during former voyages ; and the damage, he could sho w . mos t certainly arose from the cause he had already assigned. In addition to this, he had very good grounds for complaining, , in the name of the insurers, of a want of überrinza fides, or good faith. He was aware that such a charge was only to be urged with the greatest caution, but he had not done it unadvisedly. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff, with damages 2,706/. The inquiry lasted till half-past five o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Mary Ann Wood, a woman of the town, and John Moore, a soldier, were charged with committing a robbery, with violence, upon James Legrave. It was proved in evidence that the prosecutor was drinking with the female prisoner at a public-house in Orchard-street, Westminster, and that he accompanied her hom e t o a cour t i n the neighbourhood. P He had six sovereigns and some silver in his trousers. Soon after they got into the room Wood got up and seized hold of them. The prosecutor attempted to regain them, but. she pushed him out of th e room i n his shirt. He, however, pushed the door open, and the prisoner Wood cut off the fob and took out the money. The prosecutor gave the alarm ; the soldier came up, and, while the female was striking him, the soldier said, "Give it him." She was subsequently taken into custody at a public-house, and some money found upon her. The sergeant of the prisoner's regiment gave him a good character. Baron ALDERSON, in summing up, said the case against the soldier was very slight. The Learned Judge added that the fact of people being found drinking at a public-house at two or three in the morning was well worthy the considera tion of the Magistrates of the neighbourhood. Intoxication was the cause of the greater part of the trouble which judges and jurors had at each assize. If any one were curious enough to note each case, it would be found that, in almost every one, drunkenness was the cause of the crime—that is to say, either the crime was committed by persons while in a state of intoxication, or it was perpetrated upon some one in that state. The female repeatedly denied the robbery, but admitted that she was drunk. The jury found her Guilty, but acquitted the soldier. A record of another conviction was put in, from which it appeared that the woman Wood had before been imprisoned for twelve months, for a robbery and violent assault. She burst into tears, and implored mercy. Mr. Baron ALDERSON sentenced her to be transported for fifteen years. Immediately after hearing the sentence, she changed her tone of supplication, and, clenching her fists, used a most opprobrious epithet to Mr. Baron Alderson. She was re moved while uttering imprecations upon him. Mr. JOHN O'BRIEN, in supporting the motion, re ferred to the anomalous position of the Established Church in Ireland, which he contended ought to be sup ported out of the general funds of the country, without pressing directly upon a dissentient and reluctant people. Strangers were suddenly ordered to withdraw, and the House was counted, but there being more than forty Members present, the gallery was again opened, and Mr. O'BRIEN proceeded to argue in favour of the motion. Ho was desirous to incorporate Great Britain and Ireland most closely, but the Protestant Church— the greatest anarchy in the history of nations, prevented the amalgamation. The Irish Protestant Members were compelled, however painfully, to legislate against the temporalities of their church. He wished to rescue the Protestants from their ascendancy, and the Catholics from their humiliation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CURTEIS complained of the want of courtesy shown by a supporter of the Government in counting out the House in the middle of the eloquent and im portant speech of the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down. PERRI 'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS arethe most eftbctua cure for syphilis and secondary symptoms inboth sexe', price •2e. As Ad., and I ie. per box.

THE BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH hereby CAUTIONS the PUBLIC against the numberless Pills sold under fictitious names and titles, which have sprung into existence since Mr. Norison's work appeared. The parties who put forth such pills (sailing underfalse colours), take the name of some eminent person not in existence, and then most fraudulently make extracts from Mr. Morison's work, which they put into their bills in order to obtain a sale for their pills. It is, therefore, against such a nefarious practice that Messrs. Morison deem it their duty and inte rest to warn the public, being determined that the Hygeian Theory of Medicine, as introduced by James Morison, the Hygeist, shall not be made a vehicle to such fraud and imposture.

We would advise the public, should they feel inclined to patronise such pills, to be cautious in making inquiries as to who the Proprietors of such medicines really are.- The practice of adopt ing the Hygelan theory with au inefficient or improper medicine, of course tends to bring that theory into disrepute. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but the House did not divide, and the motion was agreed to with out a division, but amidst great laughter and cheering. Mr. PUSE'Y then obtained leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend an Act passed in the fourth year of her present Majesty, intitulea "An Act to enable - the owners of settled estates to defray the expense of draining the same by way of mortgage." The House then adjourned at Half-past Six. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) There continues to be a good healthy demand for yarns for all numbers up to 40's, but more particularly for the low numbers, which obtain a trifling advance in price. For goods generally there is also a steady demand ; iths printing. cloths commanding a little higher prices. For 40 1 -inch shirtings the market was heavy, and no/ much business done ; parties waiting the daily expected arrival of the Overland Mail. The ac count of its arrival in the London Times reached here later in the day, and the commercial intelligence there contained was considered to be rather unfavourable as respects manufactured goods. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY I. The demand for flannels continues brisk ; but there is no change in prices. The wool trade has undergone little variation since last Monday. There is a fair busi ness doing, and prices have advanced a shade. James Barrow Palmer, a fish salesman of Billingsgate• market, was summoned before the Lord Mayor, charged, with having exposed for sale a certain quantity of fish, unfit food for the human body. The defendant was stated to be an extensive salesman. Mr. Goldharn, the Clerk of the Market, stated that a man came to his office on Monday, and told him the de fondant had were defendant, fishii erfondant had sold him som e b a d fish. lie afterward s saw who d eclaredt the inspector t that the who examinedfishheha had sold stated f perfectly y g oody decidedly that they were bad. The de fendant was in the habit of disposing of baskets of fish fastened down, as were other salesmen, and had been cautioned not to sell some of the fish, but he insisted upon selling the good with the bad. Here the defendant, in a very loud and angry tone, which he kept up throughout the investigation, denied that any of the fish was bad, and said that there were quantities of bad fish at Mr. Goldham's very door, which he never caused to be touched. LA `V INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 3. At Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) D 1 4 " EGETA I .BLE A FEVER DUROPIL. G'S This medicine has been proved in many thousand cases to be far more efficacious than any febrifuge hitherto known, while its use entails none of the unpleasant consequences too frequently pro duced by quinine and other preparations of bark. It is purely vegetable; its operation is uniform—its effects imme diate; and it may be safely administered to infants at the breast. The action of the medicine is slightly narcotic and highly sudorific; pains in the head, back, and limbs are immediately relieved, sad fever is eradicated in from six to twenty-four hours. It is exhibited in the form of a tincture, a phial containing two doses of three drachms each being sufficient in any case. It has been extensively used in the East and West Indies, France, Germany and Italy, with unqualified success, in cases of the most malignant nature, and with equal efficacy in fevers of every type. As it may be safely taken under any circumstances, with a cer tainty of immediate relief, Travellers who, either on business or plea sure, visit the South of France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and the neighbouring countries, and, above all, residents in the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, African, and South American colonies, will do well to avail themselves of a remedy, the perfect safety and extraordinary efficacy of which have been proved in many thousand instances, and in every climate. By providing themselves with a supply of this medicine, owners or masters of vessels trading to the coast of Africa, the southern States of America, and other parts where fever is prevalent, will prevent its ravages from carrying off or disabling their crews, at a cost which is utterly insignificant when compared with the value of the 'lives and time lost, and the expense incurred for hired labour, necessarily employed in foreign ports whenever the ship's company is unequal to the duty. Mr. Goldham said it was not in his power to inter fere with any fish till they were exposed for sale, and he had shortly to produce an account which would prove that he had in the performance of his duty to seize 250,000 for being unfit for use. A. Tyrrell, of Golden-lane, costermonger, proved that he bought a pad of mackerel of the defendant for eight shillings on Monday morning, and that the first" ten or twelve at the top were good, but all underneath were bade It was then distinctly proved, by two inspectors of the market, that two baskets of fish in the defendant's boat were pointed out to him as bad, and that he after wards sold some of the bad fish, which one of the in spectors of course took away. After the defendant had made several observations to • show that ho never sold any fish which were in his judgment bad, he complained to the Lord Mayor that Mr. Goldham had compromised cases of bad fish in the market, instead of bringing them before the Magistrate. Mr. Goldam—Certainly, I have. At your request, when poor creatures have come to me with bad fish which they bought from you and a person who em ployed you to sell, I handed back from you to them the money which they had paid you. I did so I admit more for the purpose of saving them the time, which I knew to be most valuable to them, than of saving you the exposure, which perhaps would have been valuable to you. The LORD MAYOR.—It 15 by no means creditable to you, defendant, to charge Mr. Goldham with having done an act by which you were certainly obliged your self, and which you besought him to do as a favour to you. With regard to the fish you have sold, it has not only been proved to have been bad, but your own ad missions add, if addition were necessary, to the evidence of the inspectors and purchaser. In order to put a stop to the sale of bad fish, by which poor hawkers are put to much inconvenience, and poor consumers are so much injured in health, I shall order the City solicitor to pro• secute the next case against you. You must now pay back the Bs. you took from this poor man, and 6s. expenses. Defendant—l hope, my Lord, if you order a prosecu tion, the case will be a stronger one than this. - Testimonials of the most convincing nature from Sir Andrew Hal liday, Deputy Inspector General of Army Hospitals (in his official report, dated British Guiana, Oct. 5, 1834, and in his letter to the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Howick, Secretary at War, on Sick ness and Mortality in the West Indies, March 8, 1839), and nu merous other distinguished members of the profession, British, Co lonial, and Continental, are in the possession of Dr. Warburg.

LAKE V. THE DUKE OF ARGYLL. This was an action brought to recover a sum of money for printing the bills, reports, &c., of the British American Association. The affairs of this Association have been fire queritly before the public. The work in question was ad mitted to have been done, and the prices were admitted to be reasonable; but it was contended for the defence, that there was no evidence to fix the Duke with liabilities Lord DENMAN, in summing up, said the Duke's merely be coming president would not make him liable for the debts of the Association. The Duke could only become liable by hie owil conduct, and by doing that which induced person' to give credit on his account. The jury, after retiring to consult, and remaining absent for about an hour, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff:— Damages, 1451. Mr. Platt, Mr. Swann, and another Learned Counsel were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Martin and Mr. James were for the defendant. Alderman FAnEßnoTHEß:—Perhaps you would like to try the effect of a prosecution in this case. I dare say the Lord Mayor will oblige you.—(A laugh.) Defendant at once threw down the money, saying the few shillings were no object to him ; but he begged the Lord Mayor to understand that Mr. Goldham's conduct at Billingsgate was very different from •his conduct at the Mansion-house.

Mr. Redman, the plaintiff in this case, is a shipbroker, car rying on business in Lime-street. The vessel which is the subject matter of the present inquiry belonged to this gen tleman, by whom she was extensively repaired during the years 1838, 1839, and 1840. In 1841 he intended her to go in ballast to Sierra Leone for a cargo of teak. That she might be in a fit condition to perform this voyage, he caused her to be entirely overhauled by the Messrs. Green, Wigram, and Green, shipwrights, whilst she was lying in the West India Export Dock. Here she received 50 feet of new rough-tree timbers ) 10 or 15 feet of new gunwale, and a new raft-port. She was fitted with two new mizen channels, had a beam clamped, her rough-tree timbers were examined, 9 broken ones being replaced, her chain bolts were found to be good, and her shears fair. These repairs were chiefly made on the larboard side ahead. Persons who had had the care of making them confirmed the above particulars, and said that the caulking she underwent weuld have infallibly dis covered a bad plank. These being completed, and the vessel deemed seaworthy, she was insured for 2,500/. on the 6th of July, 1841. Being afterwards chartered by Messrs. Laurie and Hamilton, she sailed on the 15th of that month. During her voyage she met with a great deal of foul weather. She came to an anchor at the Nore, and there experienced a heavy gale, in which she parted a cable and rode heavily. The weather continued much the same all the way to the Downs. Here it increased, and down the Channel she had more or less of it. On the 21st of August she came off the Cape de Verde. Here she was once or twice on her beam ends, and made a little water. On her first arrival at the coast of Africa the wind blew off the shore, but it after wards changed to S.W., and she was obliged to go under a heavy Ness of sail to keep off the lee-shore. This could not fail to have the effect of straining her considerably. She arrived at Sierra Leone on the 2d of September, discharged her ballast there, and then proceeded up to Tasso Island. Here she arrived on the 12th, and began to load the timber. At the end of the month, however, a severe illness, natural to the climate, attacked the whole crew, arising from the damp ness of the timber, which is bent in the water, and floated by cork-wood. It is customary at this place to load vessels by means of a class of natives known by the general name of Kroomen, as Europeans are sure to sink under the unhealthi ness of the country. At the time of this ♦isitation 300 loads had been put in, 500 being the complement. The illness lasted 50 days, but the vessel was fully loaded by the 7th of November. She was then brought down with her cargo to Freetown. On the 9th she was exposed to a tremendous tor nado. Shortly after this date she underwent a survey by three persons from various vessels then at the port. Before this she had drifted two miles, having two anchors out, and was then brought back to Forra Bay. The result of the sur- THE OLD BAILEY BAR. (From the Sunday Times.) In the course of the 'allusions which we made a short time since to the case of the wills forgeries we, stated that our object was not so much to trace that case through its circumstances, which was the province of the jury, as to make it the foundation of a general call upon the public to consider, and, if possible, to correct, through these representations, the evils which have grown out of the license indulged in by counsel in the defence of guilty men. It would scarcely be possible to select a better case to illustrate these evils than that of Barber, defended as it was in the full tone of the Old Bailey ver nacular, by Mr. Wilkins. His client was the most in jured man in the:world ; nothing could surpass his wrongs except his virtues. The purity required by Caesar in We wife, was a moderate qualification compared with the purity ascribed by Mr. Wilkins to his client. Csar, indeed, was guilty of a moral cowardice when he could think of repudiating his wife merely because she was slandered ; but Mr. Wilkins betrayed no such pusil lanimity. On the contrary, he seemed to consider it a feather in his client's cap to be tried for fraud by the justice of his country. It was an honour to be employed by him—quite a moral distinction to touch a fee from such a hand. Neither the verdict of a jury nor the sen tence of the judge could disturb the implicit confidence of the advocate in the rectitude of his client's conduct. Juries were fallible, judges were fallible—in short, every thing on earth was fallible but Mr. Wilkins's pene tration and Mr. Barber's virtue. As for prosecutors and witnesses, they were not only fallible, but congregated and combined, like evil spirits, i n a league for the overthrow of innocence. But, to speak seriously upon a matter which is, after all, of very se rious importance, it is, as we have said, in vain to look to the judges for the protection of prosecutors or wit nesses ; they seldom or never interfere. They did not interfere with the case of which we have been speak ing, when Mr. Wilkins thought it not beneath him to attack the character of such a man as INIr. Freshfield, the Bank solicitor, in the hope that some ignorant person on the jury might be persuaded to consider his conduct oppressive and unjust. It is not for Mr. Freshfield's sake that we regret the indiffer ence manifested by the judge on this occasion. His character stood too high to be affected by anything that Mr. Wilkins could say or do ; but if judges will not sympathise with such men as Mr. Freshfield, how can they be expected to sympathise in more doubtful cases with men who are not so well known, and consequently not so well protected from misrepresentation ? It is, therefore, a delusion not to suppose that prosecutor —or witnesses, and especially the latter—find pro tection from the judge, and, therefore, it is the more necessary that something should be done, SMOKE PREVENTION BILL.

The gentlemen of the bar call such a case as that of the will forgers, in the Old Bailey slang, " a good sporting case," that is, a case in which prosecutors and witnesses are to be run down and every thing, and, amongst the rest, diet ill-fated personage Truth, sacrificed to the worthy character in the dock. According to this interpretation of the word sport, Mr. Wilkins is certainly a keen sportsman ; he cares no thing for himself, he rides, as beggars are said to ride, straight onward to a certain destination. There is no dif ficulty, however formidable, that can arrest- his pro gress, or turn him from the one great. object of sacrificing everything to the interest of his client. So confident were the conductors of the prosecution that brow-beating would be resorted to in the case of Barber, that they felt it necessary to subpcena the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk at the Mansion-house, and to keep them in attendance day after day, as a check upon • the imaginative faculty of Mr. Wilkins. Even after all the precautions that could be adopted, the Bank, the Bank solicitor, the magistrate, the press, the wit nesses for the prosecution, nay, the very judge him self, were, all of them, in one shape or other, ex posed to the animadversions or insinuations of, the prisoner's counsel. But this out-and-out mode of defence, although it is certainly calculated to attract the. notice and admiration of the great mass of indivi duals charged with offences, has never failed to obtain for him who uses it the scorn of those who think that society is likely to be endangered by the escape of an ingenious villain, defended by a dexterous lawyer, whose sense of right and wrong, however perfect in itself, is never permitted to interfere with what he calls his duty to his client. One would think, from the exaggerated language of lawyers respecting this duty ; that there was something in the connection of counsel and cltent which exempts parties from the ordinary obligations of truth and justice. No barrister will pretend that he would be Justified in imputing falsehood directly or indirectly to a person who, he knew in his heart, had told the truth. No man of common honesty would dare to make such an assertion. Wherein, then, consists the magic of that extraordinary and myst e rio us compact implied in the phrase " duty to his client," which justifies, or is sup posed to justify, him in doing for another what he dares not do for himself—to obtain the acquittal of a guilty person, and the ill-treatment of-one or more innocent persons by the misrepresentation of their motives, their characters, and their conduct ? What is there,' then, we would ask, in the connexion between counsel and client —what is there in the sense of duty arising out of such a connexion, that should exonerate either of them from the universal obligations of morality, and the ordinary rules of right and wrong ? Is it in virtue of any mystic influence communicated from palm to palm by the transmission of a fee, that the lawyer becomes not merely invested with the privilege, but charged with the duty, of sacrificing every principle to the one paramount object of vindicating his • client, per fas aut nefas, at the expense of every consi deration, human and divine ? If so, we should like to hear some account of the process from those who are familiar with the operation. It was stated some • time ago by the Attorney-General, in the house of Commons, on contending in favour of this extravagant privilege, that lie supported it for the sake of the suitors themselves. Now, what we want to know is wherein the advantage to suitors consists ? We think it will be readily granted that it is no advantage to prosecutors to be vilified and traduced, nor to witnesses to be treated in the same manner. The accused party, whether he be a swin dler, a robber, or a murderer, ma y certainly derive an ad vantage from the obloquy which he is permitted to cast, through his counsel, on those who are endeavouring to bring him to justice. In fact, the only person to whom thie monstrous privilege can be of use is the guilty person, who can only be saved from merited punishment by the adoption of such execrable means. What then, let us ask, is the real effect of this privilege, or license, or whatever it may be called, upon the administration of justice itself ? We will not mince matters. The effect is not to benefit suitors, but to drive them out of Court by the mere force of the Old Bailey philosophy. We would appeal to Mr. Clark, the clerk of the arraigns, and to Mr. Goodman, whose experience in the same office renders his testimony invaluable—we would appeal to these gentlemen, whose characters, as private indivi duals and as public officers, give the highest auth o rity t o their statements, whether it is not a common case to hear prosecutors express their regret at having prosecuted, and not only express their regret, but declare that they would rather submit to the loss of their property, and allow the thief to escape, than expose themselves or any mem bers of their families to the observations with which they had been unjustly assailed by the prisoner's counsel. The effect of this privilege, therefore, is to obstruct the administration of justice in Entine, by driving people away from the Court, and inducing them rather to submit to their losses than apply for redress, or even accept of redress, with its invariable accompaniment of abuse and detraction. Lord Brougham was as• suredly carried away by professional enthusiasm, or by that love of wrangling which is, perhaps, in separable from a great advocate and debater, when he could think of referring to the progress of a trial as affording a favourable instance of the display of human talent.. liowever in teresting such proceedings as are daily exhibited in our court s ma y b e t o th e Noble Lord, and to those who think with him, we can conceive nothing more re pulsive to a benevolent mind than that scene of noisy decla mation andgross humbug, and virulent invective and brutal demeanour, which combine to make up what is called an important trial, or a good sporting case, at the Old Bailey. His Lordship's own description of the process, though evidently coloured so as to favour his views, will scarcely inspire such a man as we have described with any violent inclination to be present at the performance. " The jury," observes his Lorship, " see the witness ; they have the opportunity of watching his demeanour while giving his evidence, and then they see him, submitted to a cross-examination ; after which comes his counsel, comforting and restoring, as it were, the poor man, after the flagellation he has under gone, and setting up the broken credit of the witness, damaged by the cross-examination. Af ter the cross-examination of the adverse counsel, which has impaired the credit of the witness for a mo ment, then comes the skilful counsel, who restores and comforts the poor man, and gives a better opportunity of explaining the case and setting himself right with the jury, until at last the conflict being over on both sides, the evidence of the witness is fairly before the Court." But how often does it happen that the evidence of the witness is never fairly before the Court ? Suppose the case of a poor nervous man, or of a delicate and timid woman, how difficult would it be to restore and com fort either of them after flagellation, so as to enable them to become collected and appear in their proper characters of truth and honesty ! But let any one who suspects us Of exaggeration go to the Old Bailey and judge for himself—let him observe the conduct of coun sel to female witnesses on the opposite side, and if he do not feel his heart throb with indignation and shame, we can only say that he is tit for the place to which we have sent him. But, as it is possible that we may revert to this subject again, we shall say no more for the pre- . sent than express an ardent hope that something will be done to correct an evil which, so far from showing any disposition to cure itself, is evidently on the increase, and the effect of which is most injurious to the ends 'of justice and the reputation of a great country. THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM. Many interesting additions have recently been made to the extraordinary and costly collection of curiositie.7., works of art, and autographs, which constitute the exhi bition at the Egyptian Hall, in Piccadilly, which is called, par excellence, the " Napoleon Museum." Mr. Sains bury, the collector of these rare and interesting objects was, we understand, originally prompted to search for and purchase all that could illustrate the life and times of Napoleon, from an ardent admiration of the soldier Emperor, without any notion of exhibiting them beyond the sphere of his private friends. The collection, how ever, became so large and complete, that he was induced to open it to the public, and the objects, as now arranged at the Egyptian Hall, form, as the catalogue affirms, a perfect " illustrated history of Europe, from the time of Louis XIV. to the death of the Emperor Napoleon." The admirers of autographs may revel for days among the vast stores which are here deposited. They occupy twenty.thick folio volumes, which are illustrated by two thousand portraits and crests of the writers. To give some idea of the treasures contained within these " pon derous tomes," we may intimate among the letters are those of Louis XIV., Marie Antoinott., miraneau, 80, , bebplerre, Joseph Bonaparte when King of Spain, up wards of five hundred by Napoleon, and upwards of two thousand by his principal generals. Neither are the au tographs of distinguished Englishmen less remarkable. There are letters from Charles I. and his Queen, front Oliver Cromwell, Milton, Handel, Pope, Pitt, Fox, Nel son, the Duke of Wellington, &c. These autograph s are not merely signatures, but many of them are letters relating to matters of political interest, or referring to marked incidents in the lives of the distinguished writers. The medallions and enamels of Napoleon at different periods of his life, are numerous, and there are many' paintings of battles, by David and other distinguished French artists. Among the curious documents preserved in this collection, are two letters written by Napoleon on the same day (March 1, 1796), in one of which Bona parte is spelt with a u (Buonaparte) and in the other without ; and as no signature with the uof a later pe riod is known, these two letters are supposed to be the last in which he wrote his name Buonaparte, and the first in which he adopted the more French orthography. The cordon of the Legion of Honour worn by Napoleon, and sent by him to his son, is among the varied articles that belonged to the Emperor. Perhaps the two most interestin g relics are the notes made by Napole on w h e n attending lectures on mineralogy, in 1793 ; and his first and last attempts to write English when at St. Helena. The treasures deposited in this museum, we ttederstand, cost the collector 60,0001., and occupied years of re search ; it is indeed surprising that one individual could have ransacked all cerners of France and England so successfully. Those who propose to visit the museum should go early, for their are materials enough to occupy a long day in their examination. A circumstance, calculated to create a feeling Of confidence in the safety of railway travelling, inasmuch as it proved the control the engine-drivers have over their fiery steeds, occurred on Saturday last. The after noon down train, which leaves London at three o'clock, soon after passing the Witham station;suddenly came to a stand-still ; the up train, which leaves Colchester it four, being► also stationary at only a shore4istance. The alarm of the passengers was speedily allayed by the guards, who dismounted ; and from them it was learnt that two horses had strayed upon the line, and were ap proaching at a galloping pace, crossing and recrossing between the down and up trains. - The affrighted ant mals, after a few blasts from the whistle, made towards the Witham station, where they were driven off, acid both trains proceeded uninterruptedly on their journey. But for the judgment and caution exercised on the part of the engine-drivers, the poor animals must have been destroyed, and one of the trains would, probably, bare been thro,wn of the line.—Essex Herald.- EIGHTY•NINTH SALE.
