ORLEANS, TOURS, and BORDEAUX RAILWAY ALLOTMENT OF SHARES. The application for Shares in this Company having exceeded, by nearly fourfold, the number for distribution in England, the Directors regret the impossibility of complying to the full extent of their wishes with the numerous applications from individuals of the highest per sonal character or commercial standing. In apportioning the Shares they have endeavoured to distribute them equitably, giving the pre ference to applicants who were either of well-known respectability, or who gave reference to their bankers. Several applications were most reluctantly, but necessarily, excluded from the list, in conse quence of informality, either by the signature not being attested, or the document being mutilated, by separating the application from the conditions upon which it was made. The Directors trust that this notice will be sufficiently explanatory to those who may find themselves but partially comprised in the allotment, or wholly omitted from it.

A vast number of petitions was presented against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. Mr. FERRAND presented a petition from a man named LUNDY, at Hull, complaining that Mr. Hum; the Chairman of the Smuggling Committee, had re fused to pay his expenses fur coming up to give evidence. Mr. HUME said the man claimed 171.—be gave him 51. for nothing. Mr. DARBY said it was the general opinion of the Committee that the Hon. Member for Montrose had been done for the first time in his life. The un doubted fact of a Yorkshireman doing a Scotchman excited much laughter. Sir J. GRAHAM gave notice that on the first day after the recess, he would move for a Select Com mittee on the Tenth Report of the Poor-law Com- missioners. A brief and rather amusing discussion ensued on the order of the Home Secretary for putting down gambling at the Epsom races. The dis cussion arose from a question put by Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY, whether the police had the right to prevent people from throwing sticks, as they had been accustomed to do. Sir JAMES GRAHAM gave one of those answers which mean nothing. He said if throwing sticks were included in the existing law, it would be carried into effect. In answer to a question from Mr. MILNES, the Earl of LINCOLN said the dinner to the Greenwich Pen sioners in Trafalgar-square had been prevented, be cause the pavement was not complete, and great in convenience would result from such a dinner being held in the centre of the town. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced that on the day after the recess he would name the day fur the second reading of the Bank Charter Bill. _ _ _ On the motion of Mr. NYSE, a Select Committee was appointed to inquire and report on art-unions. Sir 11. PEEL said he could not fix any time for the Irish Registration Bill. On the motion that the House resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. HUME asked Lord STANLEY what sort of Government had been formed in Canada. Lord STANLEY said the administration had been planned on the principles recommended by Lord SYDENMAM ; some of the places had been filled up, and he expected it would in a short time be com pleted. The House then went into Committee, and a number of votes, after some opposition on the part of Mr. HUME, ➢lr. WILLIAMS, and Captain P.SCRELL, were agreed to. The House resumed, disposed of the remaining business on the paper, and adjourned at Half-piatl Twelve. A despotic and unwise interference wit le amuse ments of the middleand- lower :classes has, for a number of years; been:displayed in both Housea,4l, Parliament. At one time it was i3ericitisly proposed, are:lithe motion was .seriouslTentertainedi to prevent all Sunday travelling, to chain up the poor mechanic in his house on the only one day of the weekie which he could have recreation. He was not to be allowed to travel by coach, railway, or steam-vessel to the out skirts of any town, but was to be immured in his dwelling, and if he ventured to walk out at certain periods, he was to be denied anything in the shape of refreshment. Bread, ale, and cheese, and whatever the hardy artisans of this great country, who do her so much honour, might have an appetite for, were to be forbidden. Fortunately common sense prevailed for once over nonsense, and all the wild schemes of Sir ANDREW AGNEW fell to the ground ; but the public have not yet got rid of the incubus. There is a constant pressure upon the amusements of certain classes, and the Legislature selfishly take care to exempt themselves and all their brotherhood from its effects. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, some three years ago, summoned the police force of the metropolis, and also some of the royal troops, to put down a Chartist meeting at Kennington-common. The most wanton outrages were committed on the unoffending people; they were trampled upon, struck with bludgeons, and chased from the common like wild beasts because they presumed to meet there to represent their griev ances. The same system is still continued. All the amusements at Epsom have been put down by the same arbitrary authority. We say nothing in defence of gambling ; on the contrary, we regard it as a great vice ; but what will the public think of a Govern ment which, instead of correcting the abuses that pre vail among the amusements of the lower and middle classes, abolish their amusements altogether, while they leave the gambling clubs in St. James's sacred ? Possibly there were unfair dice in the lower hells ; but are there none in the higher ? A nobleman, with his long nail, cut in a peculiar fashion, could mark a card, rob his friend, and even compel an Honourable Baronet, a Member of Parliament, to join with him in the game, from the fear of being pitched out of the window. But did any policemen ever enter these dens of infamy, which have ruined so many of the higher classes, and have compelled not a few of the aristocrats of the land to resort to Rome and Naples to obtain a livelihood ? No ; the Legisla lature cares only for the poor. The Bishop of LON DON, while these great crimes are committed in the precincts of St. James's-square, thinks only of put ing a stop to boat-rowing on Sunday, and the game of skittles on Monday. We want to see something like justice and impartiality. It is impossible to put down gambling, but it is possible to correct its abuses. ' The gambling booths at Epsom and A sco t are b ad, but they are only once a-year. The elubs, whereperennial, thousands of pounds are lost every night, are and they are left untouched—because they belong t o the aristocracy. These amusements or vices, at race- ' courses have long been encouraged—they had the sanction of the Sovereign ; the owners o f the booths were regularly charged so much fur the ground occupied, and it is a most despotic stretch of authority to send a strong police force to ride them down without any notice. Had due notice been given, no one would have objected to such a measure for preserving the morality of the unrepre sented classes, though many would say that abuses might be removed without resorting to extreme mea sures, that may materially interfere with national sports. The nomination of the candidates for South Lan cashire took place on Thursday last at Newton. Upwards of five thousand persons were present on the occasion, and the greatest enthusiasm was mani fested in behalf of Mr. BROWN, whose claims are warmly espoused by the Anti-Corn-law League• From all we can learn, there seems to be little doubt of this gentleman's success, notwithstanding the corrupt influences exerted by the monopolist party against MIR, who—as might have been anticipated — have been utterly unscrupulous in their proceed ings, and, by way of damaging their formidable free-trade opponent, have had recourse to such unblushing calumnies as that he is a Socinian, and a decided enemy to a religious establishment, whereas it is well known that he is a zealous member of the Church of England; and--as his proposer, Mr. GARDNER, justly remarked—" has contributed more to the building of churches in Man chester than any other individual of his class." Com pelled to abandon this party slander, the Monopolists next endeavoured to raise a vulgar prejudice against Mr. BROWN, on the score that he was an American ; but this assertion, too, they were under the humi liating necessity of retracting, for it was proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction, that he was ".an Irishman, and a man of business and in tegrity in every respect, who fur a long series of years had stood at the head of the trade of Liverpool." If we notice these absurd calumnies, it is not from any importance they possess—for they are so utterly con _temptible that it was scarcely worth Mr. GARDNER'S while to attempt their refutation—but because they are characteristic of the Conservative nature, because they show to what low, petty devices this degraded party will have recourse, in order to accomplish any end which it may have much at heart. But, despite all its electioneering chicanery, truth, and justice, and common sense Will prevail, and Mr. Baowx will be returned the free-trade Member for South Lanca shire. In proposing the monopolist candidate, Mr. ENTWISLE, Colonel TEMPEST observed that " he was a gentleman of sound, constitutional princi ples, who had greatly distinguished himself at the University—a sure presage that he would be en abled properly to represent their great and important interests in Parliament." Of all the egregious non sequiturs we ever heard, this is, without exception, the richest and most ridiculous. 'What has the classical and mathematical knowledge, which is almost exclu sively in request at our Universities, to do with the commercial, matter-of-fact knowledge indispensable to a man who aspires to represent the most mercantile community in the empire ? Does it follow, as a necessary consequence, that because Mr. ENT WISTLE may have been a first class man at Oxford, or a senior wrangler at Cambridge, he should fully understand all the complicated details of trade, and be able to give adequate expression in Parliament to the wants and wishes of that important manufacturing district for which it is the object of his ambition to be returned ? 'Will his familiar acquain tance with the tongues of Greece and Rome furnish him with arguments on the subject of the Import or Export Duties; or his knowledge of Euclid and Algebra enable him successfully to reply'to a speech of Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT on the Sugar Ques tion ? With quite as much propriety Colonel TEMPEST might have inferred that Mr. DISRAELI would make the best possible representative for south Lancashire, because he has just honourably distin uished himself in the world of letters by his brilliant tale of " Coningsby !" Mr. ENTWISLE, who, unlike the rival candidate, seemed sadly at a loss for some thing to say worth listening to, praised the present .viinisters in a style that bore all the appearance of the most cutting irony; and, among other financial ichievements on which he congratulated them, spe !jelly pointed out that delectable impost, the income ax. "No doubt," he said, " they had resorted to an income-tax, but urgent cases required severe remedies, and he was ready to contend that that tax was a good one, urgently called for Iv the necessities of the times." Of course, as Mr. ENTWISLD is such a decided advocate for this light md delicate impost, he will—upon the principle that one cannot have too much of a good thing—vote for its continuance when the three years for which it was to be in existence have expired ; and we, therefore, warn betimes the electors of South Lancashire how hey return to Parliament a man who openly and de liberately professes his admiration'of a tax which is inquisitorial in its nature—unjust and partial in its operation—and utterly indefensible in every respect. The following telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne was received on Thursday by the French Govern ment:— " BAYONNE, MAY 23. " The two Queens and the Infanta left Madrid for Barcelona on the morning of the 20th. General NARVAEZ accompanies them." We find by the Madrid papers of the 17th, the Spanish Three per Cents. had risen nearly two per .cent., owing to some statements put forth by the new If Finance :Minister, in which he gives assurances that •he-will use every exertion to restore public credit, x.:02 in4 i py the next dividend _with. the :utmost _punc tuality. It appears, also, that he had received an ad liaiiee of cash from the Bank of St - Ferdinand at sixsiX per cent. interest. On the .17th the Three per Cents. were quoted at 29i for cash, and . 30 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20* for cash, and 20 et 60 days. The pamphlet of the Prince DE JOINVILLE forms the only topic of the slightest interest in the Paris journals. The Constitutionnel, the Presse, the Com merce, and several other papers, reply in rather bitter terms to the article in the Journal des Dobats on the subject, but we find nothing in this war of words which can attract public attention here. It appears ' from private letters that the Prince has taken great offence at the remarks made by the Government, and had even complained of them to the KING. His MAJESTY, however, did not seem inclined to grant any redress. Some altercation took place as to the expediency and prudence of publishing such a work, and ended by the Prince declaring that he would absent himself for a time from Neuilly : indeed it is officially announced that he left Paris on Wednes day for Compiegne. The Special Committee appointed by the Chamber of Deputies to examine the demand for an extra ordinary credit relative to Algeria, has just had its report distributed to the Chamber. The Committee, in conformity with the decision of the Chamber last year, approves of the system of occupation proposed by Marshal SOULT in the preceding session. This system consists in taking as a permanent military line the cen tral line of the Tel, starting from Tlemcen and pro ceeding by Mascara, the valley of the Cheliff, Miliana, Medeah, Setif, and Constantine. The Committee, however, expressed its regret at seeing this line of oc cupaiion extended, by the creation of permanent ports established on the skirts of the little desert, at Boghar, Teniet-el-Had, Tiaret, Saida, and Sabdou, which the Governor-General desires to make centres of Euro pean civilisation, and in consequence it proposes to the Chamber a reduction of 10,000 francs on the sum required for the establishment of those new posts. The French Funds have again advanced. On Thursday, the Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 85c., and the Fives at 122 f. 25c. just been opened here. The Archduke Palatine, the autho rities, and a number of clergymen of all persuasions, were present cal the occasion. The premises were given to the Jewish community of Presburg by Baron Seria, of Vienna, the banker, who is of the Christian persuasion.

THE STATE TRIALS. (From a Third Edition of the Times.) We subjoin a lengthy abstract of proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin, yesterday, of which a summary only appears in our Second Edition. Our dispatch left Kingstown last evening at half•past seven o'clock, and reached our office at half•past twelve o'clock to-day. The Judges took their seats on the bench this morning shortly after 11 o'clock, having been in consultation for some time previously. The Court at this time was much crowded, particularly by members of the bar, who seemed tojake great interest in their Lordships' judgments. The principal counsel for the Crown and traversers, and amongst the latter Messrs. Sheil and Pigot, were present during the day. The Court being divided, Mr. Justice PERRIN, as junior Of the puisne members of the Court, first delivered his judgment. Having stated the general character of the prosecution, the several charges of the indictment, the verdict and the object of the motion, he went through the grounds, twelve in number, on which the verdict was sought to be set aside and a new trial granted. As regarded two of the traversers, he was of opinion that the motion should be complied with. Several of the speeches of Mr. O'Connell, as they appeared in the Freeman's Journal and Pilot, had been submitted to the jury as having been made by him, although no other evidence had been given that they were actually spoken than the fact, of their having thus appeared and been published by the traversers, Messrs. Gray and Barrett. In so submitting them Mr. Justice Perrin thought the Court had misdirected the jury. He also conceived that the charge with respect to Mr. Tierney had not been sufficiently precise , and that, therefor% there should be a new trial. This is the result of his judgment; which it may be well to state before noticing it a little:more in detail. The first objection was, that there was no proof of the eom mission of any overt act of conspiracy in the county of the city of Dublin. The answer to it was, that the news papers charged as overt acts wore proved to have been pub lished there. Second. It was said that Mr. Rigby's name was not on the panel. But he was known, and summoned, and em panelled by the name of John Rigby, and not of John Jason Rigby, and moreover he was so by the consent of the Crown, and at the desire of the frowners. Third. It was objected that the term had been ex tended in a way not authorised by the statute. But although this question appeared On the record, the trayersers' counsel declined to argue the subject, or make formal objection when the application was made by the Crown. Fourthly. It was objected that the jury had been per mitted to separate every night, but this was done with the deliberate consent of the traversers, and was the necessary consequence of the length of the trial. Fifthly. It was said that the jury list had been fraudulently dealt with to the prejudice of the traversers. This the Learned Judge thought was ground of challenge and of chal lenge only. • The Sixth objection was to the admission of the ballad sold and circulated at Mullaghmast when Mr. O'Connell was speaking. He had given his opinion on this subject at the trial, and by that he was prepared to abide, that opinion being that it was admissible evidence. The Seventh objection Caine under the head of misdirec tions to the jury. In answer to this the Learned Justice stated the substance of the charge which, in his opinion, con stituted a proper direction in point of law. In the course of his observations he said, that to conspire to effect changes in the law by force was a conspiracy to levy war. To conspire to effect those changes by intimidation, consequent on the the eith allegedeeither secrecy misdirection no r treachery it was iin display of force, was a crime se con d, an d on l y second, to the c o n spiracy to levy war. the confederacy, therefore there was no cons pi rac y. B u t th e sai E d i , g t h h t a h t l Y beca A us s e o t n h e er P e a w rt a o s f n publicity which was so ostentatiously used was itself evidence of the intimidation by the display of force. Display was the object, as the means of inspiring terror, and the n o n - e xi s t e n ce of thisAject w4a cer.lailAly not proved:by showing the absence . 9 f secieg, • That in the Ninth place it was objected that 'the Court gave its o o l i en on the facts- • They,did so, and many judges „had,done so, and all had a right to do so if they thought proper. He (Judge Perrin) wasalot in the habit of doing so, but his custom was not a rule tor others, still less a ground dn. which he should set aside the verdict. The jury : were„ certainly told that the questions of fact were for them to decide, but they were not. controlled ; they had not been misled, nor was it charged that they had. The Learned Judge then came at this stage of the argument to the objection which had weight with him to induce him to give his judgment for setting aside the verdict as regarded Mr. O'Connell. It was that the speeches of Mr. O'Connell were not proved to be his by putting in as evidence the news papers containing them, or what purported to be his speeches. He thought that the declaration, required by the statute to be transmitted to , the Stamp-office, with a copy of each publication, was sufficient evidence for all . purposes of that publication, not only to affect Mr. Barrett or Dr. Gray, but all persons who could be effected by their acts. He thought also that the speeches thus proved to be in thoie papers were evidence against Barrett and Gray, as acts of theirs in furtherance of the conspiracy, and against O'Connell as their acts ; but they were not evidence against O'Connell as O'Connell's speeches. The charge of the Court to the jury had not pointed the attention of the jury to this distinction, and so far he thought it was defec tive, for the speeches were read and commented upon, as if they had been spoken by Mr. O'Connell. It was said, that it was now too late to make or to enter tain the objection, but he thought, although the objection had not been made by counsel when the charge was delivered, the Court should not allow a verdict to stand which might have been consequent merely on this misdirection. But it was said, and he thought truly said, that the case was proved withotit this evidence. Still in a civil case, if evidence were improperly received after formal objection, the Court would set the verdict aside, without regard to the ten dency or efficacy of thii other evidence, however strong or unceptionable. He thought in this case the same course should be pursued, for Mr. O'Connell had substantially made the objection in his speech to the jury. The first duty of the Court was to endeavour to avoid error, their second to cor rect it. But it was next objected that the Court had not sufficiently dwelt on the evidence for the defence. Mr. O'Connell 's speeches of 1109 and 1810 showed, if it were ne cessary, that he was sincere; but no one denied that. It was proved that the people were obedient and peaceable; but this did not disprove the conspiracy ; on the contrary, it showed that Mr. O'Connell could keep them well in hand, and in his (Judge Perrin's) mind that it might be a part of the conspiracy to intimidate by physical force. The last point he should notice was connected with the case of Tierney. lie had not joined the conspiracy till the 3d of October, and on that day he handed in money, and made a rash and reprehensible speech, most unbecoming his sacred character. lint he might not on that day have joined the con spiracy, nor have known of its existence. The jury should have been asked if he did, because coincidence of sentiment did not necessarily prove conspiracy, and in that respect the charge was too vague and general. Indeed it was the Judge's duty to have warned the jury, that unless they were satisfied as to the existence of confederacy they should not convict, for conspiracy was a fact to be found, not an inference to be drawn. It was stated in the charge that there was a curious coincidence between the subjects of Mr. Tierney's speech and those of the repeal cards; but that was at most a proof of membership with a body which was not illegal. He did not think there was any evidence to war rant the inference that th a t speech had been made in pur suance of confederacy, nor did he believe that this point had been properly .left with the jury. On these grounds, in his opinion, the verdict ought to be set aside. Mr. Justice CRAMMON followed and read an elaboratejudg ment on every point that had been discussed. He was not satisfied with the verdict as to Mr. Tierney. He would not say there had been misdirection, but he thought and hoped I hat the jury would have acquitted him. His speech was criminal and seditious, but be might have made it without knowing of any conspiracy. If a nolle pro sequi were entered as to him, he would refuse the motion for a new trial, but if that was not done, he would, regard less of consequences to the public, do justice to the indivi dual, and grant a new trial to him, though it should have the effect of awarding a new trial to all. But the newspapers con taining Mr. O'Connell's speeches, were he (Judge Crampton) thought as much evidence against him as if he had written every line of them. They had been read withow, objection —they had been read on behalf of the other traversers, though not of Mr. O'Connell —they had been commented on by counsel, including Mr. O'Connell. The Solicitor-General had been suffered to observe on them, and the Chief Justice had done so without objection. But, independent of this, he thought them evidence, because the' conspiracy had been pre viously proved, and even, if every speech or fact therein stated were false, be held that Mr. C/C9pAell was plainly The following are additional extracts from the pa pers : A vessel which left Naples on the 13th, and has arrived at Marseilles, brims intelligence that the Government of the two Sicilies has issued a decree prohibiting the export of corn, in order to prevent a scarcity at home. This news has excited very little sensation at Marseilles, as large quantities of corn have been imported from Russia. The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from Athens, of May 6, which says :—"A secret society, having for its object to overthrow the Government, has been just discovered. It had extensive ramifications, even in the Turkish provinces. The oath which the members were to swear resembles that of the Freemasons. The Greek journals publish fragments of the statutes. The tendency of the Society was to establish the political and religious independence of Greece. The op position to the Ministry becomes each day more violent, not only in the capital but in the provinces. At Tripolitza, Rhigos Palamedes has been received in triumph, and crowned with laurels, becaase he is looked on as a victim of the Ministry." A Leipsic letter of the 17th represents the results of the late fair in that city to have been very satisfactory.

He put it upon the broad ground that an act done by one conspirator in furtherance of the common object, rendered the co-conspi rators as responsible for that act as if it were their own ; but remove the assumption that conspiracy previously existed, and the case fell to the ground. In the course of his observations, which occupied nearly four hours in the delivery, the Learned Judge made some very forcible remarks on the nature of the Repeal Association. It appeared from the evidence to be a most anomalous, he had almost said dangerous, body. It affected to be a volun tary body representing the public mind of Ireland ; it had its treasury, its revenues, and its foreign supplies; it had, it was said, millions in its service; it had its leader and his staff of of ; it carried on its proceedings in a Parliamentary form ; it had its debates, perhaps without much difference of opinion ; it sat in judgment ou the Crown Government, and individuals public and private; it received addresses, granted supplies, had its mem bers, associates, wardens, and pacificators ; and thus, in the people's eye, wearing all the appearance of sovereignty, it was impossible not to see in it the elements of a body well disposed to relieve the Government from any trouble in go verninn. Ireland, should there be any sudden emergency for it. They professed loyalt y , but that principle was not alone attachment to the person, but to the throne and office of the Monarch. Mr. Justice Buirrox was of opinion that the motion should be refused on every point to all the traversers. He took the same views respecting the majority of the objec tions as had been held by the judges preceding him, but could not agree with them as to the propriety of conceding a new trial to Mr. Tierney, although he had, he said, anxiously endeavoured to make his wishes en this point coincide with his mature judgment. That rev. gentleman had been found guilty of the count of creating dissension between her Majesty's subjects, and he did not see any grounds to doubt the validity of that verdict. He was of opinion that the venire de novo should be refused, and that the present verdict should stand. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE shortly before six o'clock pro ceeded to deliver his judgment. After the necessary length of the judgments given by his brethren, it would (he said) be his wish and indeed his duty to put his observations into as small a compass as possible, the more so because that coarse would be in accordance with the principle on which he had acted during the trial. It had, he presumed, been observed that lie had abstained from all interference with the course of the proceedings, nor made any observation or comment upon them, preferring. from motives of delicacy and on grounds personal to himself, to leave to his brethren on the bench the consideration or correction of any error, real or imputed, committed by him in . his charge, as organ and head of the Court. He had, except as a listener, taken no part in the case, and those concerned in it must do him the justice to confess, that from him, at least, they had received no interruption. That was all he intended to say on many parts of that motion ; no one would be more happy than - himself to have any error he might have committed rectified, and justice done to all. He agreed altogether in the views taken by his brother Bur ton, and in the judgment delivered by him. The Learned Chief Justice was proceeding to state the grounds of his con currence when our express left. Owing to the kind and prompt facility afforded us by the Directors of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway we were enabled to forward the express without delay to the latter place, from the harbour of which the Iron Duke steamer was thereby enabled to start at half-past seven o'clock, nearly two hours after the departure of the mail, which reaches London at nine o'clock the following evening.

The LORD CHANCELLOR briefly gave judgment this morn ing in this case, which related to certain bankers' accounts. His Lordship affirmed the judgment of the Court below, and dismissed the appeal with costs. The COURT then proceeded with cases upon lunatic peti tions. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour, tha - MASTER OF THE Rm.'s. was engaged this morning in the further hearing of the part-heard case of Rowley v. Adams. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Befre Sir J. WIGRAM.) DRAKE V. DRAKE. In this case his Hoxoun pronounced judgment. He said that if the case of " "Wood y. Milner" were an audio] ity for the proposition in support of which it was cited, he would have nothing to do in the present case but to make the order which the defendant wished, but he was satisfied that it was not an authority for any such general proposition. The question which the Court had to consider was how far the defendant was likely to be prejudiced by making the dis coveries sought by the bill, and how far upon the merits the appeal was likely to succeed, always attending to the circum stance that the defendant's right to apply to have his appeal advanced, and that the onus of making such an application, must be thrown upon the defendant and not upon the plain tiff. In this case the defendant did not deny the plaintiff's right to a discovery absolutely ; and the ultimate consequences of giving the discovery resolved themselves into a little extra trouble if his judgment was wrong. He had no means upon this plea of doing justice to the plaintiff; but the specific ground upon which he relied for overruling the plea was the absence of an averment by the defendant that the money claimed was due at the time when the plea was pleaded. In this case he thought he would be doing no injustice by treating the plea accord ing to the strict rules of pleading. He would be greatly-sur prised if the defendant should persuade any judge in Chan cery to allow the plea, unless the averment, which he con- Eidered to be wanting, should be added to it ; and even if it were added he would still be satisfied that the plea was bad on other grounds. There was nothing in tl:e merits, except the inconvenience to the plaintiff, to jus:ify him in making the case an exception to the general rule. It is understood that neither his Honour nor -Vice-Chan cellor Bruce will sit on Monday and Tuesday. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in Banco.) The Court heard motions in the early part of the morning, and afterwards took the new trial paper. No case of any public interest had come on up to the time that we went to press. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) The Court heard motions up to eleven o'clock. None of them possessed the least interest, being upon points of prac tice. Afterwards the Court sat at Nisi Prins, and was en gaged in hearing the cause of Wilkinson v. Longstaff, which was an action upon an account for iron work done by the plaintiff for the defendant. There was not the least interest in the case. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The cases that came before the Court up to the time of our going to press were totally devoid of public interest. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A woman named Eliza Millar was brought before Mr. Jardine; charged with threatening to break the windows of Benjamin Sheppard, coffeehouse-keeper. The woman came out of prison this morning at nine o'clock, completing at that time her sixth imprisonment for breaking the windows of Mr. Sheppard. She was now brought up upon information of Mr. Sheppard, who swore that when the prisoner was last before the magistrate she de clared, on leaving the dock, that when she came out of prison she would break every window in the complainant's house. She was now, therefore, brought up on a peace warrant to put in bail for her good behaviour. The prisoner said she was unable to procure bail, for she bad no friends in the world. She had no recollection of using the threatening language of which she was accused. Mr. JAHDLNE-Why, I heard you myself. . Prisoner—Oh, then of course I did use it. Mr. JARDINE, addressing the complainant, said the pri soner had been in prison for' two months this last time, and he -wished to know how the complainant would like him to act ?—Mr. Sheppard said he only wished to be protected. Mr. JARDINE said the effect of his ordering the prisoner to find bail would be to send her to prison for twelve months. Mr. Sheppard said if the prisoner would promise faithfully to keep away from his house he would not press the charge against her. The prisoner gave the required promise, and was accord ingly discharged. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) John Burnes, a seaman, was charged before Mr. Cotting ham, with stealing a quantity of clothing belonging to John Frances, one of the crew of the Speedwell sloop, of Glasgow. The prisoner went on board the Speedwell, lying off Mill stairs, the preceding day, and, addressing the master, asked if he would engage him, saying that he would work his pas sage to Glasgow for his victuals. The master informed him that he had his complement of men on board, and it was supposed the prisoner had gone ashore, but instead of doing so, he contrived to go down in the forecastle, and took away all the clothes belonging to the complainant, who was en gaged up the rigging at the time. The prisoner got on shore unperceived, and he was taken into custody soon afterwards with some of the stolen clothes on his person. He was re manded. A girl, aged seventeen, named Anderson, was charged with plundering her parents of various articles. The mother gave a melancholy account of the prisoner's evil propensities, in the course of which she said that her daughter was in the habit of breaking open the boxes and drawers, taking out the clothes, and afterwards selling them at the rag shops for a mere trifle ; that expostulation with her was quite useless; and on frequent occasions she had armed herself with the poker, and threatened to do for her (the mother), if she attempted to correct her. She often stayed away from home for nights together, and returned in a state of filthy wretchedness. Mr. CorriNGlLutt—Where does she go ?—The mother said, they could never find out, but that she was known at times to frequent the penny concerts in the Mint, and other low, vile places for young persons. The mother added that she would be thankful if she could be got into some asylum. Mr. CorrprcirAm—That I have no power to do. She ap pears to be quite an incorrigible girl, and the only thing I can do is to hold her to bail, and in default of procuring it, she will be locked up in gaol.—She was accordingly com mitted. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Catherine' Castell, a prostitute, was charged with having stolen a silver watch from the person of Alexander M'Cul loch, under the following circumstances :-111‘Culloch, who is a groom, had been drinking all night, and met the woman on his return between six and seven o'clock in the morning. Being in liquor he was induced to accompany the defendant to a house in the Almonry (one of the lowest parts of West minster, and chiefly inhabited by the lowest grade of prosti tutes); here he fell asleep, and was awoke by a policeman, who asked him if he had lost anything, and on searching his pockets, in one of which lie had placed his watch, it was missing. A young woman, the landlady of the house in question, deposed to seeing the defendant take the watch from the pro secutor's pocket And place it in her bosom. She sent for a pbliceirian; as 'the defendant threatened to charge her with The robbery, and the watch was found on her. The defendant, in answer to the charge, addressed the Ma gistrate at some length, and denied that she took the watch With a felonionS intention, but for the purpose of giving it to the complainant when he awoke.—She was discharged. John Dryden, a coarse ill-looking fellow, was charged with uttering a counterfeit half-crown, at the shop of a man named Taylor, who keeps a pie and ginger-beer shop in Tothill-street. The defendant said he did not know that the half-crown was counterfeit. Inspector Barefoot said the defendant was well known to the Police.—Remanded until Monday. Three lads, named Richards, Wynd, and Seer, were charged by Mr. Elliot, the Master of St. Margaret's Workhouse, with refusing to perform- the work which had been assigned to them, namely, breaking stones. They were casual paupers, and slept in the workhouse last night, and the night before. They were requested to break stones from seven to twelve this morning for their support. William Squib, who has the management of the lads in the workhOuse, raid, he called them at 7 o'clock this morn ing, and ordered them to come to work. They did so, and took the hammers in their hands, walked about the yard, and gave a blow now and then, and told him he might do the work himself, and that they would neither do it for him nor the master, and added, " We did not come into the house to work." The lads have been repeatedly charged at this office on similar grounds ; about a month ago they were sent to the House of Correction. The defendants were also charged with assaulting the po lice, but Richards appeared to have been the most violent of the three. The defendants, in answer to the charges, said they did not refuse to work, but that the stones were large and diffi cult to break ; that the worst kind of stones we►e sent to the workhouse. Wynd, who is a thin, weakly lad, said he could not break such big stones. Mr. BURRELL committed Richards for six weeks, and Seer and Wynd for a month. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
