Both Rouses of Parliament' sat last evening for a abort time. In the Rouse of Lords, the Earl of Sr. Gs= MANS took the oaths and his seat. The Noble Earl took his sent on the Ministerial side of the House, imme diately to the right of the Duke of WELLINGTON. After the presentation of'petitions, The Earl of DALHOUSIE gave notice that he should tomorrow lay before their Lordships papers relating to the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, and that he should, at the same time, submit his try upon the extent of the juriadietion of the Board of Trade, and the course of proceeding adopted by them in relation to railways. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented the answer to the address. Lord BROUGHAM gave various notices on the sub ject of the law of bankruptcy. A short conversation ensued between the Marquis of Noastsis - By and the Duke of WELLINGTON on the subject of the delay which took place in forwarding Bills to the Lords from the other House. In answer to Lord CAMPBELL, the LORD CHAN. CILLOR stated that it was his intention to bring in a Bill on the subject of bail in error, and that if no remedy existed in cases in which a jury might be improperly empanelled, he would endeavour to de vise one. Lord MONTEAGLE then moved for a series of papers for the purpose of showing the working of the financial measures of the Government, and, in doing so, took occasion to go into the question of the financial state of the country generally. The Duke of WELLINGTON had no objection to grant the papers, but declined giving any answer to the speech of the Noble Lord, as it must be expected that her MAJE3TY'S servants would wait until the financial statement should be made in another place, before they interfered in these matters. Their Lordships adjourned shortly after Six o'Clock. In the House of Commons, after the presentation of petitions, and the ordering of sundry returns, the Select Committees on Divorce Bills and on Private Bills were appointed. A new writ was ordered for Lewes, in the room of Captain FITZROY, who had accepted an office under the Admiralty. Lord DU:NC AN gave notice, that on the 20th he should more for a Committee of the whole House to consider of the repeal of the window-tax. Mr. Hymn gave notice of a motion for papers on the subject of Sierra Leone and the Mauritius, and postponed until the 20th his motion on the subject of colonial accounts. Mr. WALLACE gave notice of a Bill to repeal the Railway Act of last session, and said that to-morrow he would move certain resolutions on the subject of railways. Mr. lltnuE asked questions on the subject of educa tion in India, and of the recal of Lord ELLENBO ROUGH, but the answers of Mr. BARING to both ques tions were inaudible. In answer to a question from Sir R. INGus, Mr. BARING stated that the lands of the Temple of Jug gernaut would be restored, so as to render payments to the Temple unnecessary. Lord DALMENY gate notice, for to-morrow, of a question on the subject of the Scottish Poor-law. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up. The various Railway-law Consolidation Bills were read a second time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave n9tic© for a Committee of Ways and Means for Wednesday. The House Adjourned at Five o'clock. Two petitions relative to Puseyism were presented to the House of Commons last night by Lord EBRINGTON, and we hope they will be followed by many thousands, for it is evident the Protestants of this country can now look only to the Legislature for a redress of grievances. One of the petitions was from a clergyman, the Rector of Stoke Climsland, in that happy diocese over which Bishop PHILLPOTTS presides. That gentleman complains that he is placed in a situation of the greatest difficulty ; that he has received three pastoral letters from the Bishop, which were of very uncertain and dfferent import, and he was, therefore, at a loss to know how he should per form his sacred functions with safety or satisfaction, for if he departed from the Rubric he was liable to heavy penalties, and if he strictly adhered to the Book of Common Prayer, and the canons of the Church, he would cause great discontent among his parishioners He, therefore, prayed that the House would take the subject into their serious consideration, and repeal the Acts of EDWARD V.L. and ELIZABETH, relative to the ceremonies of the Church, and adopt others which might remove the present difficulties and avert the dangers with which the Esta blishment was threatened. The other petition was from laymen, deprecating the attempt of the Bishop and certain clergy to revise obsolete forms and cere monies, which had excited discord and alienation in a Christian community where there should be only harmony and peace. They also prayed that the House would take the subject into consideration, and grant redress. These, we believe, are the first peti tions presented on this painful subject, but, owing to the recognised practice of the Commons, no remarks were made. It does not appear that Sir R. PEEL was present, and possibly Mr. GOULBURN did not consider himself qualified to give even a hint as to the course which should be adopted. Lord EBRINGTON, however, has an easy way to bring the question forward in a tangible shape. He will be en trusted with other petitions, and probably has them in his possession. Let him, therefore, give notice of their presentation, and at the same time state his intention of calling the attention of the Legislature to one of the most wanton attacks on Protestantism ever made since the Reformation. There is a noble field • for his exertions—he will be cheered on by the whole lay community, and perform the most essen tial service to the cause of freedom as well as pure religion. The present state of the Church is full of anomalies ; it is not suited to the age. The doctrines of the Catholic Church are dominant at Oxford, and rapidly extending through every diocese; the majo rity of the Bishops have their faces towards Rome, and wolves in sheep's clothing have in broad day en tered the fold. Can the Legislature stand by idle while the Church established by law has not only , deserted its most sacred functions, but adopted tenets which are in direct opposition to those of the religion which its members profess ? The time has fully ar rived when the strong arm of the law must restrain the mischievous vagaries of PnILLroTTs and BLOM FIELD. It is now certain that Sir ROMMT PEEL will pro pose the re-imposition of the income-tax--on the re commendation of the Crown (as our constitutional fiction supposes) " for a limited period." A "limited period" is a very ambiguous term in the mouth of a Premier or a player. It means always just as long a time as the good nature or the prepossessions of the public—their common patron—can be wheedled into enduring the speculation undertaken by the one or by the other. An engagement positively " limited" to "a very few nights," never prevents a starring comedian " of the Theatres Royal"—who has made a hit in the character of Joseph Surface, for example —from extending marvellously the " limited opportu • nities " he had at first proposed to afford his provincial admirers for witnessing his conception of a difficult character. To read his advertisements, any third party might suppose that he was about to present the public with some signal benefit, at his own personal expense, not theirs; and that the prolongation of the number of nights on which he had "consented" (such is the usual strain) to "repeat thtmtilaracter," was a concession on his part, the self-denial of which could not be too highly estimated. In the mean time, the number of nights is determined actually by the amount of the money taken at the doors, or the sale of the tickets. Let no man suppose that it is the Premier's meaning to measure his " limited period" by any other than an analogous scale. Let none be alarmed lest the duration of Sir ROBERT'S performance in his favourite character of Income-tax Reviver, in the tragi-comic farce of Raising the Wind, should prove too short. year of peace, and the third year of this revived tax, which other Ministers have always reserved for periods of such overwhelming exigency, a condition of hostilities, for example, between this kingdom and some formidable enemy like France. It is enough for our purpose to suggest that at this instant the aspect of our foreign relations is not so utterly pacific, so decidedly firm and encouraging, as to put out of the pale of probability all danger of abrupt misunderstandings with an European neighbour—of a precipitated collision with a people equally sensitive in the New World. Far distant be the day on which either of these casualties shall eventuate. But in the meanwhile, let us act upon the wise and self evident policy of not exhausting, at a protracted period of peace, the energies we should be prepared with to meet the terrible exigencies that will charac terise any future war. On every principle of consti tutional wisdom, of political expediency, and of finan cial prudence, Parliament ought to determine the Pre mier's "limited period" on this occasion at one year— and no more. If the necessity for its continuance at, or shortly before the close of that period, can be satisfac torily demonstrated, Parliament will doubtless renew, and the English people, with their characteristic reasonableness, on such demonstration, will .heerfully pay it. But it is objectionable on every ground, to entrust a Finance Minister with that sort of credit margin, on the plea of keeping up a surplus of in come, which may be anticipating the most vital and essential functions of the country's capacity in time of war, to meet the immediate and positive demands upon them. This consideration reminds us that Sir ROBERT PEEL has shown a marked disinclination to follow out the recommendation of the Harbours of Re fuge Commission in respect of enlarging and im proving Dover harbour, on account of the enormous expense, to which we referred the other day. We are strongly disposed to recommend to his attention, as a wholesome compromise, the immediate im provement of a neighbouring and very important point, where such improvement may be effected at a comparatively small expense. We mean Dunge ness. But the Examiner puts its pretensions so well, that we readily avail ourselves of the language in which eur able contemporary has noticed them : " Dungeness is nearly twenty miles to the south-west of Dover, but with a steam navy it would command the straits almost as effectually a,s:Dover, and it has in comparably superior capabilities for a harbour. " Vessels that have beat down Channel to the Owers, perhaps nearly to the Isle of Wight, and that making bad weather, are then obliged to bear np and run, have to put back to Dungeness at the least, losing all the ground they had gained. So the other way, vessels that hare beat up Channel almost to Dungeness, and then encountering bad weather are compelled to seek shelter, have to run back all the way to the Isle of Wight. To recover the distance so lost will take ships of ordinary sailing qualities, with contrary winds, several days." The ludicrous divisions which took place in the French Chamber of Deputies last week form the principal topics of remark in the Paris journals. Those of the Opposition in one respect rejoice at the anomalous state of the Chamber, while they express regret that a measure of great importance in com mercial affairs, as well as in the relations of private life—the reduction of the postage on letters—has been unnecessarily delayed for twelve months. If the Chamber had evinced more character, and the concealed votes by ballot had not belied those given openly, a great boon would have been conferred on the community, with little or probably no loss to the revenue. These journals, however, take advantage of the circumstance to run down the Ministry, by showing that M. GUIZOT has no longer sufficient skill to manage the reins of Government, and that in fact the Chamber is like a ship at sea without a rudder. The Courrier Francais draws the following picture of its helpless condition :—" The Chamber of Deputies has advanced to the state of abstaining from giving a decision. Until Saturday either side had at least a majority of one, and the decisions were valid. Men of serious reflection are afflicted at this decadence of the Government. 'There is, in fact, neither Chamber nor Ministry—no will, no impulse, The Ministry is dead, and the Chamber has abdicated on its coffin. The most important decisions, the most useful reforms, are at the mercy of a vote. Every result is left to chance. Let a Deputy hasten or delay his attendance, and the decision is changed. A breakfast prolonged, or a cabriolet too slowly driven, become the arbiters of our destiny. What is an Utopia at three o'clock, would be law at a quarter past three. Would it not be more simple to toss, and to make hazard the legislator ?" The Constitution nel regards the functions of the Chamber, as well as the Ministryas utterly useless to the country. " We have before our eyes," it says, " the following political maxim :—When the majority becomes too feeble on political questions, it is null on every other question' and there is no longer a Government." And it says elsewhere—" The continuation of doubtful majorities in the Chamber of Deputies on every question sub mitted to its consideration, is not the effect of chance. It is evident that every time the Minister does not bring into play all the secret springs of Government, and every time that he does not use a certain force, the indifferent, the persons having pressing affairs to attend to, the invalids, and, in fact, the majority, desert him." Even the Journal des Debuts attacks the Chamber for its want of boldness and contrasts its timid and niggardly policy with the lofty and daring principles avowed and acted upon by the House of Commons, " The Postal Reform Bill," it says, "has been lost in the Chamber of Deputies. It wanted but a single vote in order to have been successful. We foresaw such a result without believing it, and we regret, ; cerely that we were right. Thus, a legislation wifrch every one admits to be contrary to the fundamental principle of equality in taxation, will continue a tax universally admitted to be injurious to commerce, and to the development of social intercourse. The Chamber of Deputies has so willed it. Thus we are in France—the most timid men in the world in making useful changes, the most hardy and the most rash in vain and dangerous inno vations. 'We are all fire for revolutions, and all ice for good and wise reforms. It is not so that our neighbours, the English, proceed, and they are not the worse for it. What boldness and what reso lution is there in their conceptions of political economy. They diminish the postage on letters in the proportion of nine to one, and at the same moment they draw from their coffers 500,000,000 to indemnify the pro prietors of slaves in their colonies. We discuss during long years the expediency of emancipation of postal reform and of other subjects more or less worthy of interest. We make good speeches, we compose better books, but when it becomes necessary to carry any of those measures into effect, our heart fails us." At Toarom's the Three per Cents. closed a. 84f. 85c. We wish to attract the particular attention of our readers to an advertisement which appears in another column, announcing that a fancy dress ball will take place at the London Tavern, on Wednesday, the 26th instant, for the benefit of the distressed needlework women of the metropolis, under the patronage of the Queen Dowager, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Ashley, Mr. Alderman Farebrother, and a Committee consisting of nobility and gentry. We have no doubt but the ball will be well attended, and we would suggest to all those who intend to be present at it, the propriety of employing those distressed persons for whose benefit the ball is given in making up their fancy dresses. We scarcely need add, and of paying them a proper remunerating price for their labour. So long as this little ancillary t o th e l eg i timate contributions of the Excise, th e Customs, Stamp and Post-office Duties, Land and Assessed Taxes to the public income, can bring into the national exchequer its clear five millions sterling per annum—so long will her services be retained, and th e p o li t i ca l ma nager be induced to extend the " limit e d per i od " during which it was once imagined, by some, that this very remarkable performance of his would be re • pelted. In truth, the income-tax'has every principle about it of theatrical vitality. It has been, in the managerial jargon of the day, " a tremendous hit." It " continues to be played with unabated success," and it " draws bumpers" of John Bull's spare cash " into the treasury." On all these accounts we implore the representa- It is rumoured, and we believe upon sufficient au thority, that the title of King-Consort is about to be con ferred upon his Royal Highness Prince Albert. This, we presume, would be preliminary to a demand for an increased grant.— Chronicle. THE KING — or THE FEENCH.—On Friday, Mr. Jones had the honour of receiving from his Excellency the French Ambassador the gold medal so graciously presented to him by his Majesty Louis Philippe. On Saturday his Excellency the Count de St. Aulaire and family honoured Mr. Jones by visiting his studio to inspect the bust of his Majesty, and were pleased to express their highest approba tion of the work. tives'of the people in the Commons' House of Parlia ment to watch vigilantly the course of this matter. Let them, at all events, in closing with the Political Manager's terms, stipulate for the strictest and shorte.4 definition of the " limited period" he proposes. The strongest case that Sir ROBERT and his party could establish against the Government of their predecessors was —that these latter could not square the public re venue with the public expenditure. They went out of office, and their successors have worked the finan cial problem which they could not solve, by—whe ther rightly or injudiciously, is not now the question re-enacting, in the twenty-eighth year of profound peace, a tax which had only been tolerated in former years because it was imposed to meet the extraordinary expenses of the extraordinary war in which we were then in. volved, by extraordinary means. It is now the thirtieth The Rochester and Gravesend Railway was opened yesterday with the usual formalities, and, notwithstanding the intense seventy of the weather, a considerable number of passengers passed up and down during the day, whilst the lookers-on mustered in strong force at the various points of the line where the train was visible. ROYAL MARINES.—The sentence of the recent court-martial held at Woolwich, on Sergeant Zachariah Baker, 36th company bf the Royal Marines, has been promulgated in general orders, and is as follows :—" To be reduced to the rank and pay of a private; to undergo an imprisonment of two years, with solitary confinement of eighty-four days in each ear, agreeably to the provisions of the 10th clause of the Mutiny Act; to be placed under stoppages (at the end of his imprisonment) until the amount of his defalcations be made good, viz. 581. 10s. 21d., and further to forfeit all claims to pay or pension on his being discharged from her Majesty's service." The prisoner Baker has been a..ut under au escort to Maidstone Gaol, where he will undergo the term of his sentence of imprisonment. THE STUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY ll, 1845.

This case stood on the paper to-day for further directions, the Court of Queen's Bench having decided in favour of the demurrer put in by Mr. Van Saudau to the plea filed by Messrs. Turner and Henshman. Mr. SWANSTON, on the case being called on, asked that it might stand over for a few days, in consequence of the illness of Mr. K. Parker. _ _ _ Mr. BAGSHAWE and Mr. ROLT, for Mr. Van Sandau, sub mitted that the postponement of the case would be highly injurious to their clients. After some further discussion, the casewas ordered peremp torily to stand for hearing on Friday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the course of the discussion, intimated to Mr. Swanston that one of the points he would have to consider and argue was, the power of the Court of Review to commit. THE MARQUIS OF 11E1 TFORD V. LORD lAMTHER. The Court was occupied the remainder of the morning with the further arguments in this part-heard case. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) WILSON V. WILSON. —JUDGMENT. His HONOUR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before him a short time since for seven days, and upon which occasion we gave a statement of the facts. His Honour, atter going through the case at considerable length, directed on the original bill a reference to the Master to settle an agreement according to the articles of agree ment that had been drawn up between the parties, giving the plaintiff his costs in the original suit up to the hearing. The Court also ordered the cross-bill to be dismissed with costs, on the ground that;although it al leged fraud none had been proved. The relief prayed by the original bill was granted, and cros s -bill di sm i ssed with costs. The original bill was tiled by Mrs. Wilson for the specific per formance of articles of separation which had been agreed to between herself and her husband, the defendant. The de fendant filed a cross-bill, stating that the agreement was obtained by fraud and misrepresentation. The hear ing of the original bill was objected t o on th e groun d that the Court had no jurisdicti on . His Honour, however, decided that it had, and that it was n o t aga i ns t p u bli c po l icy , or the public weal, that it should have such jurisdiction. The Court, therefore, decreed the specific performance of the arti cles, and made the orders we have already stated. His Hosoun gave judgment in two or three other case,k, some of which involved points of practice, but none calling for any particular report. Messrs. Morrison and Co. and Messrs. Porson and Co., and a detainer was lodged against him, with the governor of the gaol, that he might be indicted for the offence when his term of imprisonment had expired. The visiting justices, however, after he had been imprisoned for fourteen months, recommended his liberation, on the ground of good conduct. This wasinentioned to Messrs. Morrison and Co., who aban doned their intention of prosecuting him, on the understand ing that lie should leave the country, and it was believed that he had gone to America. As he had not fulfilled that agreement, Messrs. Morrison and Co. had felt it their duty to come forward and to prosecute the prisoner. As it was necessary that witnesses should be in attendance to prove the charge against the prisoner, he should ask the Alderman to remand him to a future day. A gentleman from Messrs. Ashurst's, the solicitors,.identified the prisoner as the person who had obtained the property, worth upwards of forty pounds, from Messrs. Morrison and Co. Sir P. LAurtiE said that when a man got out of prison through the instrumentality of his friends, on the understand ing that he should leave the country, and did not keep that agreement, his opinion was that lie ought to be severely punished. . . The prisoner said he was only liberated in May, last year, and that he could not raise sufficient money to carry him to America. Sir P. LAURIP: added that when once a man had the mis fortune to get into prison and was liberated, he was frequently compelled to resort to his former practises for a living, as, from having lost his character, no one would employ him, and the best thing that could be done for him was to send him out of the country—elsewhere he might be reclaimed, and become an useful member of society. The prisoner was again remanded. BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Lawrence Donoughue was charged by a person named Hugget with assaulting him the previous evening, while drinking at a public-house in Newton-street, Holborn, occu pied by a Mr. Frogarty. The complainant said that he went into the house with a friend to have a pot of ale. They sat down in the front room on the first-floor, where the defendant and a number of others were drinking. This was about eleven o'clock. They had not been long in when an altercation took place respecting Catholics and Protestants, on which the defendant ruse from his seat and struck the complainant over the eye a severe blow. He had not given him the least provocation, or taken any part whatever in the conver•.ation. In fact, he had never seen the party before. He expected his friend presently in Court, who would bear out the statement he had made. The friend referred to not making his appearance Donoughue was called upon for his defence, when he denied that he had struck complainant without provocation, but rather that he was struck first, and had only returned the blow in defence, as he would show by a witness whom he had brought. John Frogarty was then called, who stated that he was the father of the landlord of the public-house, and was present during the time that the alleged assault was said to have been committed. The fact was, the company into which the complainant had intruded himself was a cock-and-hen club, the regulations of which required that every; person who entered the room should pay sixpence. For this they were allowed some drink. The complainant paid the sixpence on entering the room, but his companion refused. The latter was repeatedly requested to do so. but would not, and made use of the most blackguard language, when Donoughue rose, backed by several of the company, to put him down stairs. Ilugget now interfered, and began to strike about him right and left. It was then that the defen dant resorted to blows, but not before he had been struck once or twice himself. They were a pair of the big gest blackguards he had ever seen, and he had been at thousands of cock-and-hen clubs in his life. The constable who took the defendant into custody said that there was a regular row in the house when he was called in. The friend of the complainant having now come into Court, was called upon, when he repeated a similar story to that of the latter, with the admission that he had not paid the sixpence required of him, but said he was ignorant of its being a club as represented. Mr. JARDINE said the evidence was so conflicting that he must dismiss the case, and cautioned Mr.Frogarty, that if these cock-and-hen clubs originated any more such rows, the license of his house would be in jeopardy. Such clubs were illegal, and he trusted warning would be taken to prevent oc currences of that kind. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS I)AY.) BRUSSELS, FEB. 8 —The Chamber of Representatives con tinued to-day the debate on the Budget of the Minister of the Interior. The Minister of Public Works, on a question being put by M. Brwuckere, promised to acquaint the Chamber in a few days with the resolutions which the engineers shall have proposed to him respecting the tunnel of Cumpitch. M. de Brwuckere desires that the tunnel may not be re• constructed. At the close of the sitting, the Minister of Public Works brought forward a modification of the law as to railroads-- a modification which is rendered necessary by the convention concluded between the State and Richards and Co, on the iron railway 4 L'Entre, Sombre, and Meuse. The King gave audience to-day successively to Lieut.- General Lellierer, and M. Solvyns, Secretary of Legation at Constantinople We learn from Ratisbon that the Rev. Diepentsock has refused to accept the dignity of Prime Bishop of Breslau, to which he had been elected by the chapter of that city. The two members of the chapter who were sent to him to induce him to accept this high post left our city yesterday without having been able to prevail upon him.—Brussels Papers, Feb. 9.

DARING ROBBERY IN THE WATFRLOO-ROAD -- Last night, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a most daring robbery was committed between the terminus of the Dover station and the Waterloo-road. It appeared that a French lady and gentleman arrived by the last up-train from Dever, and on their arriving at the station, the gentleman desired a fly to be sent for, in order to be taken to one of the West-end foreign hotels. He gave particular directions about his luggage, of which he had a large quantity, and directed that two large boxes should be placed on the top of the carriage. One of these boxes con tained plate, linen, silk, and valuable shawls and costly furs. The gentleman himself saw this box properly secured, and stated that it contained some exceedingly valuable property, and when the carriage left the railway station both boxes were safe. There was no person on the box with the driver, nor could any person have taken it off the fly without the driver's knowledge. The fly stopped nowhere on the road, but when it arrived in the Waterloo-road, the box containing the whole of this valuable property was missed, and the mystery is, in what manner the robbery could have been effected. The police were immediately on the alert, but hitherto no clue has been obtained to the perpetrators of one of the most daring and expert carriage robberies that has taken place for some time. EARLY LAMBING.—Miss °stens, of Fleetharn, has three ewes which have lambed unusually early this year; the first, on the 12th January, had one lamb, another on the 15th had three, and a third on the 18th had one. The ewes with their lambs are all doing well.—Berwick Warder. THE IRON TRADE.—The make of iron in the United Kingdom at the present time is near 1,400,000 tons annually. Scotland furnishes almost one-third part of the supply—being 450,000 tons annually, or at the rate of 9,000 tons per week. But in the course of two months there will be nine new furnaces put in operation in this neighbourhood alone, and their combined yield may be calculated at 1,350 tons weekly, or 70,000 tons, per annum. Three new iron works have also been arranged fur, which may be completed, and have twelve furnaces—the number we believe contem plated—going within twelve months. They will give a yield, if at all successful, of 1,800 tons weekly, or 93,000 tons by the year. We have already said, that the present large stock of iron is out of the hands of the iron masters; and also, that their make for a considerable time to come is sold up; but the money sought by the present holders will have an immediate tendency to reduce the consumption.— Glasgow Constitutional. DEATH PROM THE INTENSE COLD.—Last night Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Catherine Wheel, Bishops gate-street, en the body of James Fouke, aged fifty-two, a fellowship porter. It appeared th a t the deceased lived with his wife and son at No. 11, Angel-alley, Bisbopsgate-street. A few weeks ago he had threatening symptoms of apoplexy, for which he underwent medical treatment. On. Thursday last he was again suffering from the attack, when he went to bed. At nine o'clock he got up and proceeded to the open air, having only on him a jacket and a night dress. He was almost immediately seized with a shivering fit, and was taken in to his bed again by his wife. He remained in sensible till two o'clock, and then died. The surgeon who had attended him said that the deceased probably died from the conjoint effects of the cold and a rupture of a blood-vessel on the brain. Verdict—" Natural death." DEATH OF A GIRL BY FlRE.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of Catherine Reeves, aged 10. It appeared that deceased was staying with her sister,a servant to a beerseller, named Halls, residing in North-street, Manchester-square, and that on the morning of Sunday week, whilst standing on the parlour-fender, looking at herself in the glass over the mantelpiece, her clothes became ignit , (l.

Competition is at all times allowable, no doubt, but there should also be fairness with it, even in railway matters, where so little attention is paid to that requisite. There are two lines proposed to the Belgian Government to connect the Sambre and Meuse, the Central and the Western, and the former appears, or is stated to be highly approved by a ma jority of the Chambers. Within the last few days, however, there have been various attempts to depreciate, in the estima tion ef the public, the plan of the Central line, and without pretending to favour one or the other of the projects, it must be stated that the means resorted to by the Western Company to accomplish their object are far from creditable. The list of intended shareholders in the Central line has been calumniously misrepresented, highly respectable parties being described as " unknown," &c. The Directors of the Central line had an interview yesterday with the Belgian Ambassador, which was understood to be of a very satisfactory character. The well-known firm of Keeling and Hunt have issued a very good circular on the state of the provision trade, in which they correctly infer that the large amount of money likely to be put in circulation by the the construction of new railways will have an important effect on the consumption of various articles, especially should these be relieved by a reduction of duties. Tire duty on the lowest description of cheese is now 100 per cent., and on the finer kinds of butter and cheese only 20 to 30 per cent.—a manifest injustice to the poorer classes. Were it not for the weekly sup plies of Dutch, it is stated by Messrs. K. and H., that the price of English fresh butter in the London market would in all probability be 2s. 6d. per lb. Even during the last six months there has been a decided advance, viz., from 7d. to 9d. and 10d. per lb. It is considered that a duty of 10s. per cwt. would more than double the consumption, and keep the English market permanently steady, for it is reckoned that the decrease in the corsumption of butter, cheese, and bacon in the agricultural counties has amounted during the past 20 years,to 50s. and 755. per cent., while there has been an increase in the consumption in the manufacturing districts. Butter would evidently be an important auxiliary to the consump tion of coffee, &c.

'1 wo cases of no interest, having reference to goods sold and delivered, occupied the time of the Court this morning. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) HANSON V. WHITFIELD. This was an action upon bills of exchange and promissory notes accepted by the brother-in-law of the defendant in the name of the latter, and on his alleged authority. The only question in the case is, had the defendant given such autho - - rity, which in his pleas he now denies. EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at NW Prius before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Middlesex Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. FOSTER. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant for the recovery of penalties he was al leged to have incurred for having in his possession goods wuich he had unshipped without payment of duty. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Jarvis, and Mr. V ilde, were Counsel for the Crown; Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Hum frey, and Mr. Aspland, appeared for the defence. The goods in respect of which this information bad been filed arrived by the steamer Harlequin, on the 14th of Fe bruary, 1842, and were contained in a case marked F. p. 37, of which the rotation numbered was 837. The capacity of the case inside was 18 5-12 cubic feet, and the goods were 311 b. 12oz. of plain silk, 16 shawls, 2 dozen shawl handker chiefs, and lqr. 151 b of pasteboard, all of which could be placed within a space of 5 feet, leaving 13 feet s.l2ths un occupied. The value of the goods which might have been held, after the necessary allowances, was 8961., for which, as a single value, the Crown now sued. .Defendant is the part ner of Mr. Porter, w ith w hom he carried on the business of warehouseman in Wood-street, Cheapside. We have already reported the case against Porter, and a reference to it will show the precise manner in which the fraud was conducted. Noble, the clerk of the defendant, declared the right, and with the assistance of Arthur Bernes, the landing-waiter at the Queen's warehouse, procured the delivery of the goods. Sir T. WILDE tendered a bill of exceptions to the admissi bility of Berners l evidence against defendant, and to the Lord Chief Baron's summing up this case, as he had done that of Porter. It had been arranged that the one case should decide the other, on being argued in full Court. After some further discussion, a verdict was takea for the Crown by consent, in the single value of 8961. CAUNT t•. BYERS. This was an action brought by Caunt, the celebrated pugilist, against the defendant, a publican in Marylebone, to recover the suns of 51., given to the defendant under the cir cumstances detailed below.

The last deposit having been made, Caunt and Byers tossed up to decide who should be stakeholder. The defendant won the toss, whereupon the plaintiff handed over to him the 5/. The fight came off on the 19th of October, at Greenhithe, and terminated in a wrangle. The plaintiff then gave notice to the defendant not to pay the money, stating that if he (lid so, he should s e him for the amount. Notwith standing this notice, the defendant paid the money over. In the month of. December, an attorney's clerk waited upon him with a letter, demanding the amount, on which occasion . the defendant said he did Rot wish to keep Caunt out of his money, and if he would come to him he would pay him over a bottle of wine. The money was not paid, and hence the present action was brought. Witnesses were called who proved the payment of the money. Mr. dEnvis, on behalf of the d e f endant, contended that the transaction being an illegal one, the money could not be re initehietr part of the stake, o r her view the plai n tiff could not succeed. a c o w v e a r g e er pon d.lt m a u n s li b e o g r a e l g a a e r t d ; e d a nads Mr. I OWLES cited several CUBS to show that similar actions had been entertained, and that the plaintiff had, in fact, recovered.

These and a large q uan tity o f me goods were valued by the distraining broker at 61., but upon being sold upwards of 201. was realised for them. The Learned COMMIrSSIONER expressed his surprise at the extraordinary and unaccountable difference between the sum placed upon the property by the broker and that realised by public sale. The rent was 41. 155., and the expenses of the distress 21. Is. 6d., making altogether 6/. 163. 6d., the differ. ence between which and the 201 . he (the broker) retained, as he did not know to whom it was to be paid. Mr. Commissioner ll.tuitts, with much warmth, said the broker ought to have at once paid the balance into Court. Upon the case being called on to-day, it was stated that the broker had not as vet paid the money into Court. The COURT anounced its intention of adopting the most stringent measures for the punishment of such neglect and contempt; and ordered the case to stand adjourned for this purpose. The insolvent, upon being removed back to prison, com plained loudly at the hardships he suffered owing to the ne glect and dishonesty of the broker. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (TttlS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a full Bench of Magis- trates.) The Adjourned General Sessions for the county of Middle sex commenced this morning, at ten o'clock, in the Court house, Clerkenwell-green. The calendar contains the names of upwards of 100 pri soners, of whom 85 were charged with the commission of felony, the remainder being cases of assault and misde meanour. The Learned Assfsr.orr JUDGE briefly addressed the Grand Jary. Charles Appl e y ar d, a l a d a b out 17 y e ars of age, was in dicted for stealin g f our h a lf- crowns an d a quantity of coppe r moneys, the prop er ty o fJ ames Ab e l, his employer. It appeared th a t th e pr i soner , w hose family and con nexions were very respectable, had entered the prosecutor's service about t wo y ears ago, an d , up t o a day or two before the commission of the robbery, the highest opinion was enter tained of his honesty. At length various sums of money being missed from the till, suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and some money was marked and placed in the shop drawer. In an hour afterwards, upon searching the prisoner, the moneys named in the indictment were found upon him, each coin bearing the private mark which had been placed upon it by the prosecutor. The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced the prisoner, who wept bitterly, and seemed to feel his position acutely, to four months imprisonment, with hard labour, in the house of Correction. GUILDHALL,(THIS DAY.) Edward Sturt, a shabbilly dressed, unhappy-looking young man, was brought up on remand, charged with having ob tained several shawls and a piece of silk, value 131. 6s. 6 1 / 2 d., from Messrs. Bradbury and Co., wholesale warehousemen, by means of false orders, purporting to be signed by J. Bird, silk-mercer, of the Commercial-road. It appeared that, in the latter end of December last, the prisoner presented the orders in question, and the articles were supplied to him in the belief that he was sent by Mr. Bird, who dealt with the house, and who was in the habit of settling his accouat monthly, but who disclaimed all knowledge of the prisoner, stating that he had never to the best of his re collection seen him before. When the goods were supplied to him by Messrs. Bradbury's warehouseman, he stated that his name was Scott. On the sth of this month one of the young men who had supplied him with the articles, met the pri soner in the Whit ec h ape l -roa d , an d gave him into custody. The depositions o f t h e w i tnes ses _having been taken, pre vious to committi ng t h e pr i soner f o r trial, Mr. Humphrey s , the solicitor, stated that he was instru c t ed to prefer a char ge aga i nst the pr i so ner by Messrs. Morrison and Dillon, of F ore - street. H e sta t e d that, in April, 1843, the prisoner was co.;ricie:l, at Readiri'', of obtaiiiir;g goel-' from a Mr. liutelliarkb by 1316 pretence ,, , aid ;,cat,r,c,.74 to two years' imprisonment. Before that time, however, he bad obtained, by similar mean. 9, a quantity of property from I SUMMARY OF NEWS ; 44 übit I: ototiti ti t, IV114) riltzx intly r.,14 The Paris papers Uri!
