Yet the Act of Parliament to which Mr. BRODERIP referred, indnces, if it do not compel, the magistrate to be constantly screening the possessor of property from these penal liabilities on account of offences against the law, while they are constantly enforced to their utmost extent, and in their severest stress, against the destitute of property. The late Mr. Under-Secretary DRummoNu is immortalised by his apothegm that " Property has its duties as well as its rights." But our stipendiary magistrates have been in the habit, too long, of improving upon that apothegm, by illustrating another—namely, " that property has its wrongs as well as its rights." and Toulouse (Mackenzie), sf. ; ditto and Cette (Espeleta), 16f. 25c. ; Creil and St. Quentin, 25c. ; Paris and Stras burg (Ganneron), 15f.; Dijon and Mulhausen, sf. That is to say, the privilege of committing wrongs, — a luxury which your moneyless man is no more to be permitted, in their opinion, than a pauper husband, whose wife has eloped from him, and deserted her family, should be entitled to a sentence of divorce by the House of Lords, " a vinculo matrimonii." Obse quious magistrates have established a regular tariff of rebukes and animadv€ rsions in disposing of cases of assault and battery, as the Act of Parliament has prescribed a regular tariff of money fines and their " Exchange rates" of equivalent terms of imprison ment. To a roystering Marquis, or a pugnacious Viscount, or a silly spendthrift Lord, they hare graduated admonitions to be addressed to the noble offender,—as " a nobleman of such distinguished rank and station," a " person whose high rank should have preserved him from so committing him self;" a "young nobleman so highlyconnected."

The House sat to-day for tin first time, since the termina tion of the Whitsuntide recess, to hearNgcotch Appeals. The Peers present were Lord Cottenham, Lord Brougham, and the Bishop of Chester. CAMPBELL P. SIR JOIIN COLIN CAMPBELL. Sir T. W;;;F. opened the appeal on the part of the appel lants, and occupied their Lordships the greater part of the morning in his address to them on his behalf. The case arose out of an action brought in the Court of Session by Sir Colin Campbell, against the appellants, for the purpose of obtaining reparation for :the loss sustained by him in conse• quence of their breach of professional duty when acting as agents. Mr. Anderson was counsel for the appellants, with Sir Thomas Wilde, and Mr. Turner and Mr. Rolt (who appear, and most deservedly so, from their great talents, to be favou rites, not only with Parliamentary agents, but solicitors, in the Chancery Courts), were counsel' for the respondents. The case appears likely to occupy several days. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) ATKINS V. HOBBS. This was an action for libel. The parties are well-known public vocalists. The damages were laid at 2,000/. The libel was set forth in the declaration as being a letter written by the defendant to Mr. George Robinson, in the following words : " 29, Upper Stamford-street, Nov. 1.1. " Dear Sir,—My reason for asking who would constitute your party was, that I might not pledge myself to you if I had any chance of meeting that rogue Atkins—lie robbed me of the major part of 1001. I therefore consider him to be too dishonest for me to meet him ; and for that reason must decline your kind remembrance." The defendant sufiered judgment to go by default. Mr. WATKINA addressed the jury at great length. He said that the plaintiff and defendant had formerly been on the most friendly terms, and the plaintiff had formerly always endeavoured to promote the interests of the defendant. It had been said that lowliness was young Ambition's ladder, but when Ambition grew old, he was apt to kick down the steps by which he had ascended—this was the case with the defendant, who had at all times re ceived the most kindly attentions from the plaintiff, but having raised himself to a high position in his profession, he had turned round upon his friend, and for some reason had chosen to traduce his character. His friendship had dropped to coolness, and from coolness to aversion. He (the Learned Counsel) considered that this letter could not be viewed as a mere ebullition of feeling over some injury, either real or imaginary, but was a deliberate intention to malign the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel dwelt with considerable force on the position in which the plaintiff stood with the public, and that such an aspersion was likely to do him the most serious injury. The object of the plaintiff was not to put money into his pocket, but to vindicate his character. The defendant had been twice written to by Mr. Nobler, the plaintiff's attorney, to retract thecalumnious expressions, but he had not deigned a reply. IMMr. George Robinson examined—ls a public singer. In November, 1844, was-engaged to make up a party of vocalists to sing at Haberdashers Hall. He wrote both to plaintiff and defendant, inviting them to be of the party, and received the letter produced from Mr. Hobbs. In consequence of that letter witness again applied to Mr. Hobbs, and offered to alter the party---that was, to request Mr. Atkins not to at tend, but he, Mr. Hobbs, however. declined to attend, on the ground of a pre-engagement. Had known both parties for years, and had been in the habit of engaging them when he had occasion. Had not engaged Mr. Atkins since that time. _ _ _ up pater fitmilias tradesman, or a knocked-down shop man, are apprised that they had better retire, and see whether they cannot settle matters with the noble accused ; or, the Marquis is ordered to pay 10/.; the Earl, 71.; the young Viscount, M. ; which in each of their cases is readily produced. The complainant steps down and disappears; the young aristocrat bows with mock humility to the bench, the Magis trate smiles benevolently, and the Court is cleared— the police " officer" showing out their recent pri soners with a degree of deference proportioned to the expectat 4 ons they indulge of the acknowledgment they may receive or return. But, lo ! some ambi tious medical student—full of everything but medical science and money—or a lawyer's clerk, with purse as empty as his head ; or an emulous shopman who has parted with his discretion and his money together overnight—is brought up for some high deeds of street-daring, accurately modelled on the practice of the lordly " disorderlies," but pushed by no means to the same scandalous extent to which the latter would have carried th(m. The same magistrate, perhaps, sed quantum mutatus ab ilk, hears the charge, examines the witnesses, and passes sentence on the prisoner. From habit he detects, in a moment, all the iniquitous destitution of the proud culprit's pockets. Indignation gives eloquence to his law—emphasis to his admonitions. He paints, with graphic force, and vivid earneitness, all the terrors of bell-pulling, knocker-wrenching, police flooring, waiter " bonneting," cabmen defraud ing, turnpike bolting, and other such enormities. "Extenuating circumstances" he will no more listen to than RIIADAMANTIIUS himself would atten'l (on the passing of his irrevocable sentence) to a private note on gold-edged ivory paper from PROSERPINE, praying fur a mitigated judgment. No. In matters where the wrong doer is " bad pay," as it is phrased, the magistrate becomes like the Cumean Sybil, full of a holy inspi ration. lie must vindicate the majesty of justice, and the pennyless rascals fined 51. each, must, in de fault of payment, be imprisoned for the regular tariff equivalent term of so many weeks or months. Thus, as Mr. BRODERIP intimated, a pecuniary fine is the lightest possible tax on a moneyed offender for the in dulgence of his passion or caprice, his brutality or his folly. But if you put him on the same footing with the moncy/css, and hand him over to be dealt with by a criminal jurisdiction, and the unbiassed opinions of a jury of twelve true men, you really do fair and equal justice. The offence is equal, let the remedy, or the chance of remedy be equal. The offenders are alike peccant, let their punishment, or their chance of punishment, be similar. Take away a jurisdiction that is presented with two alternatives, one of which can never be equally applied to the cases of two offenders not in equal circumstances. Remit, on proof ten• dered to the satisfaction of the committing magistrate, both cases to another tribunal, which has one defined jurisdiction, and is liable to no such fluctuations between two alternatives— and whose decision must be beyond the imputation that cannot but apply to those of the magistrate, who may either summarily fine, or im prison, or refer the case before him for trial at a criminal assizes. Madrid journals of the Bth inst. have been received. The discussion of the budget was still going on in the Chamber of Deputies, and two important resolutions had been adopted—one authorising the Government to raise a loan for repairing and constructing roads, the interest of which should not exceed 15,000,000 reals (150,0001.), and the other fixing the amount of tho au• nual tax on landed property at 300,000,000 reels (3,000,000/.) The latter was adopted by a majority of 88 to 27. This certainly is a very heavy tax for such a country as Spain, and has produced a strong sensation among the landed proprietors. On the 7th the first horse-races for the season took place at the Casa de Campo. The QUEEN and Royal Family attended by NARVAEZ and MARTINEZ DE LA Rosa, the French Ambassador, and many general officers, were present on the occasion. Among the sports was a hurdle race, which excited much interest. The Three per Cents. were done at 348 for cash, and 358 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 for cash, and 2.58 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 84 at 60 days. Mr. WOOLRTCII then addressed the jury for the de fendant ; he said, that if the defendant had acted with the malignancy imputed to him, be would deserve the strong epithets which had been applied to him, but he had done no thing except what any person in his situation would have done. The facts were these—that so far from the defendant being under any obligation to the plaintiff; it was the re verse—that the defendant had accepted many accommoda tion bills for the plaintiff; which ought to have been taken up by him, but which the defendant had been obliged to pay, and an action had been tried, and a verdict— The SECONDARY said he could not hear statements which, if evidence to support was called, he was bound to reject. The Learned Counsel could not go into detail, but might show that there was a ground for ill-leeling. He, however, could not go into evidence to justify the words imputing robbery to the plaintiff, as there was no plea of justification on the record. Mr. WOOLRYCII then proceeded, and urged that the let ters from Mr. nobler were written in such a tone that it was quite impossible for the defendant to admit the assertions that he had made " most wicked and unfounded aspersions on his (Mr. Atkins's) character." Indeed, the bitter censure in the letter was almost libellous. He begged the jury to well weigh the circumstances before they gave heavy damages, and to place the fair interpretation on the words, and not construe them to apply in the ordinary meaning of the words—not as charging a legal robbery, but a moral fraud. Mr. Wm:lm replied. The SECONDARY summed up. The plaintiff's conduct in writing for an apology had been most proper and gentle manly—he had received an injury, and no apology or atone ment had been made, therefore the jury would give damages, but not excessive or vindictive. The jury consulted twenty minutes, and gave a verdict— Damages, 251. THE LATE. MURDER AT GREENWICH. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COUR T Martha Brixy, aged M charged with the wilful murder of Robert Barry Flinch, aged ten months, the son of Mr. Ftinch,a solicitor, of Greenwich, was arraigned, and pleaded " Not Guilty " to the charge in a feeble vtiice. She was then removed, and on the arrival of Lord Denman, Mr. Baron ,Alderson, and Mr. Justice Coltman, who were accompanied by the Lord Mayor, and the Sheriffs, she was again placed at the bar. She is a dark good-looking girl, with nothing in her appearance to denote that she was influenced by violent passions, or that she was labouring. under that most distressing of all maladies—insanity. On being placed in the dock she burst into tears, and was placed in a chair by the attendants. During the address of the Counsel for the pro secution she burg down her head, kept her hankerchief to her mouth, and rocked herself to and fro. The court was not so crowded as during the trial of Connor yesterday. There were several respectably-dressed remales present. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. 'Wyld appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN then !tilted the case to th e j ur y, and pointed out several peculiarities on the part of the prisoner, which, he said, denoted insanity, or that at the time she committed the murder she was not responsible for her actions. They would, therefore, have to consider whether she was account able for actions at the time she destroyed the life of the child or not. The Learned Counsel the called the following wit- IN THE STRAND. yaai n nnb e o sot my e s u e xfyt s o, f O n m t a l s 7 I 2 N O v 20th of Mr. o gu : or fl iesaNdit n :iesi c t, lh , eageeter h ,i ne:ceaooe drawing-room deceased eietwi morning. agi e awtl. r ihl,da r o :mror f o t oe. r li y wnhei prisoner. sf i h n we ac le f n a insld n aa r4 a ,tt a., e i tv c ohri l h rda , e I the c o r done room a m m :y . ia i will id, murderer. I have cut the baby's throat." I ran from the room, and proceeded to the nursery. I there saw the child in the cot, with his head very nearly off. I saw an ordinary table knife lying across the child, which I saw was dead. I lett the room, and on the landing I met Mr. Traill. I told him what had happened. I went down stairs, and shortly after I saw the prisoner in what is called my room. She there begged my forgiveness, and said, " Oh, what will become of me." I said, "You wretch, you have murdered my poor child which never could have done you any injury. You will be hanged, that's what will become of you. 'I pushed her from me, and she fell down on her knees and prayed God to for_ give her. A policeman was called, and she was given into his charge. She said, "Oh, Sir, let me stop to change my boots." I said there was no necessity for that; but they were brought by one of the servants, and she was taken away. She was kind to the children in every respect. By Mr. CLAiticsoN—Her general conduct was - kind. I had noticed that she was dull and restless, and unwell. Mrs. Ffinch had applied to a medical gentleman respecting her. Her mother had been sent for in consequence of committing that crime. She said she wished to leave her situation, and after wards. prayed that she might be allowed to stay. She had mourning with others on account of the death of my father. Her mother was at my . house on the Ist of May. Ido not know if she ever complained of her head. I had seen her in the nursery that morning with the child in her arms, about a quarter before nine. The other nurse had the entire care of the children. I know of nothing that would cause her to have any enmity to her mistress. She was always treated with the utmost kindness. She seemed sensible of the kind• ness she was receiving. I noticed nothing peculiar in her demeanour towards the child. By Lord DEN3IAN—She had been three years in my ser vice, and the children seemed fond of her. Mr. Traill, one of the magistrates at Union-hall—l was at Mr. Flinch's house on Sunday morning, the 4th of May. I followed Mr. Flinch when he left the room, and met him coming out. of the nursery door. I saw the sight was too horrible for the mother of the child to see, and I went down to prevent her coming up. I saw the prisoner at the bottom of the stairs. I took hold 'of her hands, and held her. She addressed me by name, and said, "What have I done — what will become of me ; do you think God will forgive me?" She had used the expressions when she came into the room, "I am a murderer." The first time she spoke to me I said, " You poor, miserable wretch ;" but I expressed no opinion. By Mr. CLARKSON—My first impression was, that some act of carelessness had led to some dreadful accident. Per • haps that she had let the infant fall out of the window. I could not say that her conduct was that of a person who had become conscious by some act she had committed. From the first time I saw her I thought she was low-spirited. Mr. John Sutton, residing at Greenwich, grand uncle to the deceased, surgeon, described the appearance of the child. The head was nearly severed from its body. Sarah May—l have been in Mr. Ffinch's service two years next June. I recollect the Sunday morning. The prisoner had nursed thechild. She did not very often take him in the morning, more frequently during the day time. The prisoner afterwards assisted me in making a b e d. She asked me if I thought Mrs. Flinch would forgive her, and allow her to stop. I said, " Martha, Mrs. Ffinch will not let you stop." She stood in a study, biting her nails. I went down stairs into the back yard immediately. She had previously gone into the back nursery' where the infant was. Three elder children were in the said nursery. I heard a scream. I had not seen the prisoner from the time I left her till I heard the scream. She was the only person left up stairs with the exception of the children. She was a person of kind dispo4tion, and the children were fond of her. I recollect Mrs. Ffinch going to Dover. On the same morn ing she gave the servants mourning. The prisoner was dissatis fied with her's, though there was nothing the matter with it. She was low in spirits, and did not lo ok so well as she used to do. After Mrs. Finch had gone to Dover she took the body off, and said she would burn it. She put it in the middle of the flames and pushed it down with a poker. I told Mrs. Ffinch this when she came back. This I told the prisoner I would do so. I told Mrs. Ffinch. Mrs. Ffinch told her that she must be in a great passion to do it, and she must leave her service. Her mother was sent for. Mr. and Mrs. Ffinch overlooked this, and she was to stop. Mrs. Ffinch also said that if she heard anything more about the dress she should leave. The prisoner seemed desirous to leave. I recollect the prisoner being sent to fetch the children from school on the 2d of May. She was gone a long time and came in with the dress in her hand and said she had been to the dress-maker's. Mrs. Ffinch said, " You re collect, Martha, what 1 said about the dress last night, and that if anything more was said about it you should leave. You must now leave." The prisoner cried. On the Satur day she asked to be allowed to stay. I heard her say many times that she would never be happy again if she left. Mrs. Flinch told her that she had been to Deptford to see a young woman who was coming to take her place in the nursery. The prisoner said oho was (THIS DAY.) The Paris journals are chiefly occupied with com ments on the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the great northern line of railway, but they possess little interest to the English reader. The Bill introduced by the Government, it appears, will be adopted with little alteration. On Wednesday, the Chamber had adopted all the clauses up to the 47th, and rejected many amendments. One of the amendments proposed by M. E. BLANC was, that the third-class carriages should be so constructed as to be closed, not with curtains, as pro posed in the Bill, but with glass or wood, like the other carriages. The amendment was lost. The Deputies of the Pas de Calais presented an amendment, proposing a branch line from Fampaux, near Arras, to Hazebrouck, with a view to place Calais and Dunkirk on the same footing as Boulogne in respect to communication with the centre of France. This afnendment ivas re ferred to the Committee on the Bill, who recommended that it should be rejected. The accounts from Africa are not favourable. Ann-EL-KADER is evidently deter mined that Marshal BUGEAUD shall not enjoy his title in peace. A letter from Algiers, of the 6th instant, states that the insurrection is complete in the mountains of the Ouarenserris, and that several of the Arab chiefs who had received appointments from the Governor- General have been sacrificed. It is also stated that nearly 2,000 mounted Arabs appeared on the 28th elf before Orleanville, and menaced an attack, but withdrew on a sortie being made by the garrison, supported by the cannon of the camp. On the 30th a serious engage ment took place in sight s,f Orleanville, between the hos tile Arabs and a French detachment. The Arabs were defeated, with a loss of 20 killed. The French had only two men killed and six wounded. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the report of M. GARELLA, who had been sent out by the Go vernment to examine the practicability of the scheme for making a canal through the Isthmus of Panama. He reports in favour of the measure, but one of his plans is rather alarming for the success of such an undertaking. He found the lowest elevation between the two seas to be about 500 feet, and as it is tco great an elevation for a ship canal, he proposes an erormous tunnel, capable of allowing frigates to pass through. He thinks, from an examination of the soil, that a tunnel of 100 feet in height above the surface of the canal would be practicable, and might be made within a reasonable outlay of money. On the Paris Bourse on Wednesday the Three per Cents. closed at 86f. 25c.; the New Loan at 86f. 55c. ; the Five.per Cents., at 121 f. 30c. ; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,221 f. 25c. • Rouen, I,oBBf. 75c. ; Vierzon , 822 f. 50 c. ; Havre, 882 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 1,055 f. ; Basle, 271 f. 25c. ; Belgian Two and-a-Half per Cents., 62f. ; Spanish Actives, 40'%f. ; Spanish Three per Cents., 42f. ; Spanish Passives, 8 1 4. f.

She seemed very cbm'lartable and cheerful, 1 and indeed I heard her sing on the Saturday afternoon. She spoke about the young woman coming, and said she did not like another to come in her place, and that she should stay. The prisoner had been taking medicine. She had complained of her head about a month before the occurrence—before Mrs. Ffinch went to Dover. She said it was a curious sort of aching pain. She had said she was better. She was very much liked in the family. On the Saturday morning she spoke about persons being hung. She said, " I need not make myself so unhappy as I do; anyone would think I had committed a murder." I said, " Martha, don't talk in that way." She asked me if I ever heard of women being hung; and I said they were hung as well as men. She said she would rather be hung or transported than put in a mad house. She spoke of this herself. The idea of leaving was .uppermost in her mind ; she talked of nothing else. By Mr. ChanKsoN—She had said that Greenwich did not agree with her, and that her health was bad. She told this to her mistress. This was about three weeks before the oc currence. Her dress fitted very well indeed. She said it did not feel comfortable, and she would nor wear it. She wanted for nothing—neither money nor nothing else. I found she had pawned the dress, to which she had a new body made. From the time she was told she was to go, she be came unhappy and melancholy. Elizabeth Middleditch, housemaid to Mr. Flinch—Let Mr. Traill in 10 minutes before 10. I returned to the kitchen. The prisoner was there. • She went into the pantry. I fol lowed her. She took a large knife out of the box. I asked her what she was going to do with it, and she said she was going to cut a pencil for one of the children. I said a smaller one would do, and she said it would do to cut the bread and butter in the afternoon, and took a smaller knife, and took them both up stairs. Heard the infant scream. On the same morning I went into the nursery at a quarter past nine o'clock. She was washing up the breakfast things. She said, " Oh, Eliza, I wish I was dead." I said that was a strange wish, as she was going to stop. Caroline Matilda Priest, cook to Mr. Ffinch—l have been four months in his service. I recollect the prisoner coming into the kitchen. She afterwards had two knives. I saw her feel the blade of one of them. Mr. John Burton, surgeon—l was desired to send the prisoner some medicine on the 31st March. I treated her for irregularity. By Mr. CLAhESON-I have treated young females for a similar complaint, It affects the constitution, and fre quently the head. It causes dullness, moroseness, and fits of irritability, and great excitement. These fits sometimes come on suddenly. I have known cases where the mind has been visibly affected. I did not see her after, but I ,had b2en constantly consulted by Mrs. Ffinch about her. I recommended that she should be sent away, because I con sidered that such an act. of violence as burning her dress unfitted her for her occupation. I thought it was a prudent recommendation. She had taken medicine up to the day of the fatal occurrence. By Mr. BODKIN-I did not state that she was deranged at the time. By Lord DENMAN-But do you think so ? Witness—That is a difficult question to answer. Police constable 21 R—l was at the station-house when the prisoner was brought in. She asked me If I thought God would forgive her? She said that she had not quar relled with any of the family, and that th'ere never was a kinder master or mistress. She asked me if I thought she would be sent across the water in chains. She said she wanted to go, and could not stop there, and asked if I thought Mr. Ffinch would forgive her in a week. She asked if she would have to wear the prison dress, and if they would treat her harshly. If they did, she should not know what to do, as she had always been treated kindly. Elizabeth Gerrard had the care of the prisoner at the sta tion-house. She wrote that letter on the following Monday morning, about nine o'clock : " sth of May. " Dear Mary,—Pray send me another collar, and a pair of gloves, and may God Almighty forgive me for the wicked ness I have done. I remain your sincere friend, " MARTHA BRIXEY." This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. CrAnxsos then rose to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He characterised the case as one of the most painful which had ever engaged his attention during a long professional life. He could not complain of the way in which his Learned Friend had opened the case,nor of the law which met cases of the distressing kind before them. He referred at some length to the answers of the law Lords to questions propounded to them by the House of Lords, respecting the state of the laws relating to lunatics, to show that no general rules could - be laid down for the guidance of juries in arriving at conclusions in cases of insanity. So great a responsibility then devolving upon them, it behoved them to be extremely cautious in returning their verdict. The unsettled disposi tion of the prisoner, the irregularity of her system, the pains in her head, the sudden fits of passion which came upon her from trivial causes, all denoted that she was labouring under insanity, and had been affected with this disease for three weeks before the murder. Her kindness to the children, and their love for her, her desire to leave her employment at one time and to stay at another, also denoted aberration of intellect. The family doctor had advised her removal, as from her condi tion she ought net to betrusted with children ; so that he had noticed the diseased state of her mind. Let them recollect the questions she put to one of the witnesses, "if women were ever hanged ?" and, when in custody, if she should be sent abroad in chains? that she could not stay in the prison, and must be let out ; and her asking if Mr. Ffinch would forgive her in a week ; her conduct in the house, and. every circumstance in the case, and then let them say if she was in a sound state of mind. He concluded by confidently rely ing on a verdict of acquittal in behalf of the unhappy prisoner at the bar. VT — Lord DENMAN then proceeded to sum up the evidence. He held that the act was clearly proved against the prisoner, but they would have to consider whether she. was or was not in a deranged state of mind at the time of its commission. After pointing out the responsibility of juries, and telling them that they had to consider the facts of the case as honest and sensible men, without bias either one way or the other, and dismissing from their minds all apprehensions, to arrive at a conclusion warranted by the evidence which they had heard. He read over the evidence, and commented as he proceeded on the important points. His Lordship con cluded by leaving the case in the hands of the jury, who re tired to consider their verdict at half-past one o'clock. After an absence of twenty-five minutes the jury returned into Court with this verdict :—" That from- constitutional and other causes the prisoner, at the time of committing the act, was not responsible for her actions"—virtually Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity. The prisoner, who could scarcely stand whilst the names of the jury were being called over, was then led from the dock. During the whole of the trial she never raised her head, and rocked herself slightly backwards and forwards during the whole time it lasied. THE CASE OF MR. MYER—THE LATE ASSAULT The Grand Jury this morning ignored the bill in this case. It will be recollected that Mr. Myer was committed for trial by Mr. Twyford, for an assault on Mr. M‘Lean, a picture dealer in the Strand. Mr. CLARKSON, during the absence of the jury in the case of Martha Brixey, said Mr. M'Lean had not presented himself before the grand jury to support his prosecution against Mr. Myer. He wished to state publicly that Mr. Myer was not a party to Mr. M'Lean's absence. RAILWAY COMMITTEES Group V. NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD LINE. The Committee, consisting of the O'Conor Don (Chair man), ➢lr. Hope Johnston, Mr. J. A. S. Davies, Sir Denham Norreys, and Sir John Rae Reid, re-assembled this morning, to hear further traffic evidence. _ _ Mr. Johnstone, draper, in Newark, was called, and stated that the present defective mode of communication between Manchester, Barnsle y , Hudderfield, &c., entailed the greatest disadvantage on the drapers of that town. He was sure that the projected railway had received the sanction of the inha tants of Newark. - Richardson, clerk to Giltstaff 's hotel and coach-office, gave the number of coaches that left Newark daily, to the places on the line of railway. He was sure the passengers would, on the completion of the railway, go by it. Group DD. THE CALEDONIAN, AND THE GLASGOW, DUN FRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAYS. - The adjourned Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour, and proceeded with the further investigation of the schemes before them. Mr. TALBOT resumed his examination of witnesses, by calling Mr. Landell, mining engineer at Musselborough. He stated he had been engaged generally in mining affairs since the year 1840, and was in the constant habit of giving opinions as to the condition of mineral fields, and the manner of working them. He was the managing agent for the coal pits belonging to Sir John Hope, and from that and other sources had gained considerable practical experience in mineral fields in Scotland. He had been employed by the Caledonian Company to examine the strata of the various' mineral grounds which would be intersected by the railway. He was well acquainted with those dis tricts, and in his official capacity had inspected them se veral times. He also knew the locality of the stations on the railway to which it was intended to bring coals and other produce. The making of the railway would tend to open up many coal• grounds which at present are not worked, owing to the expense of carriage for bringing the coals to a profitable market. The principal spot on the line where lime strata were met with was at Freshwater, and the aggregate thickness of it was 55 feet. Sand-stone and clay iron stone were also met with there in considerable quantities. The neighbourhood of Poole and Sismahagu abounded in various qualities of coal, and at the present time six workable seams existed in that district. The produce from these places would for the most part be transmitted to Edinburgh to be disposed of, if a line of railway existed. The expense of putting the coals on the line would amount to about 4s. 6d. per ton. The price of coal at present in Edinburgh was 1/. Is. per ton, and was still rising. This was a very high price to pay for coal in Scotland, but if the railway were made, the expense would be considerably reduced, and there would result a better regulated supply. The witness then went minutely into the details of the quantity and quality of minerals to be obtained generally along the line. The gross quantity of lime expected to be conveyed was 66,000 tons, which would yield au income of 5,130/. per annum. The amount of coal would be 236,000 tons, and the annual revenue from this item would be 30,000/. The principal iron works nearest the line were situated at Castlehill ; the proprietors of these works had been communicated with, and they had stated they would send their iron to Edinburgh by the Caledonian Railway, in preference to any of the exist ing modes of conveyance. The manufactured iron from Garthsherrie would be transmitted by the Castlecarry branch. Mr. Landell concluded his evidence, by stating he was of opinion, that the construction of the proposed line would considerably facilitate the conveyance of minerals and other produce at a diminished expense through all the districts which it intersected. _ _ Sir T. Phillips cross-examined the last witness at great length, but no material alterations in his evidence resulted. Group X. The Committee re-assembled to-day, Lord CoUrtenay in the chair. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The Committee proceeded to hear evidence in favour of this project. Mr. Clark, a farmer and hopgrower, and also a poor-law guardian, of Tuxford, was called, and examined by Mr DENI SON. Ile stated that the town of Tuxford had considerably declined since the withdrawal of the traffic from the great north road. The town contained a population of 1,000, and it was the principal market for the district around. Taking a radius of 6i miles round the town, the population of the district was about 11,000. The witness stated that a great saving would be made in the conveyance of the produce of the district if the proposed line were made. Mr. Gladstone, /11. P., was then called, and examined by Mr. M. SMITH—The London and York ,line passes near Newark.• The people of Newark are favourable to the line. I do not wish to give any opinion with respect to this project, except so far as the interests of Newark are concerned. I have no doubt the people_ of THE WEATHER.—buN OFFICE, MAY 16.

Mr. SPOONER moved the second reading of the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Wolverhampton Rail way Bill. Mr. PAKINGTON opposed the motion, which, how ever, was carried by a majority of 19—the numbers being, for the motion, 41; against it, 22. Mr. WAKLEY then moved that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the management of the Royal College of Surgeons in England. The Hon. Member, at great length, detailed the grievances of which the members of the College had to complain — grievances which were entirely owing to the mis conduct of the Council, the self-elected governing Vody of the College. On the Speaker being about to put the question, the House was counted out, there not being forty Members present. Ireland has been so little accustomed to acts of kind ness on the part of the English Government, that every favour now proffered is received with suspicion and dis trust, or with fear that a scheme is in progress for de stroying national liberty and undermining the founda tions of the Catholic faith. This is no new symptom in human nature, it is as ancient as the siege of Troy, and when statesmen—long hostile either from necessity or in- clination to the Catholic pepu'ation, suddenly change their policy, and in place of Coercion Bills, Registration Bills, Arms Bills, and fifty others of the same stamp — bring forward measures of conciliation, and profess to regard a proscribed race as friends and fellow-subjects, we cannot be surprised that the Irish look well at the presents and the givers before they accept them with gratitude. This may, therefore, be admitted as a pallia tion for the bitter hostility displayed by some of the Irish journals to the Academies Bill, but by no means as a justification for unjust imputations and wicked charges against the long-tried friends of Ireland as well as the repentant Tory Administration. No men ever made greater sacrifices for the sake of peace than the Whigs and Liberal Members of the House of Commons. They have displayed a moral courage above all praise, and notwithstanding threats aed promises, and every possible means resorted to for the purpose of conversion, these honourable representatives, with some contenoptible exceptions, have adhered to their convic tions. Are noble minded men like these to be in cluded in the same category with Lord STANLEY and Mr. GOULBURN, and accused of concurring in a plot for demolishing public spirit in Ireland ? One of the Irish provincial journals thus comments on the Education Bill which received such general support from all parties in the House :—" It is not a generous concession to Irish wants, but a treacherous scheme to corrupt the young mind and taint the young heart of our country through Government patronage and influence. Away with it ! It is directed chiefly against repeal. No scholar will obtain a professorship in any of the proposed collegiate institutions who be lieves that domestic legislation would be a blessing to his c untry. He may be first of a hundred candidates, but if he be a repealer, he will be requested to retire. The Irish youth must not dare to tl.ink on Irish ques tions otherwise than as the English Government ap proves, or they will be excluded from the benefits of academical education in their own country ! Away with it again, it is an abomination ! We spurn with scorn such a gift. We will do still more. If they dare to in sult our eyes with any of these stews of Government cor ruption, under the name of colleges, we will level them with the ground." The same paper adds :—" It is not learning we want at all. It is food and raiment. We ask for bread, and you give us a book." Such wild de clamation would require little notice were not the same view taken by many Englishmen. They also say, give the Irish bread—give them employment—but they never tell us how it is to be done ; and Englishmen who have made the experiment, know, to their cost, the ruin which has befallen many speculations well calculated to give bread to thousands. And what put an end to these beneficent schemes ? Irish jealousy of England. The ignorant multitude were excited by lying journals. They rose against their best friends, literally carried into effect the rabid injunction of the Kilkenny editor, and levelled the English factories with the ground. We have always said that bush misrule has lasted so long that an age will be required to redress grievances, and place the population in a sound and civilised condition. The work cannot be accomplished at once. Time, and judicious treatment, are absolutely necessary, and a wise Government will, therefore, turn a deaf ear to such absurdities, propose measures which they believe practicable, and persevere in them to the last, regard less alike of political bigotry and popular ignorance. We have been looking with much anxiety to the view which the Irish Catholic bishops and clergy take of this Academies Bill, because, on their decision, will its fate rest. Should they oppose it, the prospects of that country will be gloomy indeed. The Government cannot, if they would, allow them the superintendence of any of the colleges. Sir James Grtanam, in vain, attempted to carry his Factories Education Bill for England, and if the interference of Protestant bishops is regarded with such horror, would that of Catholic prelates be viewed in a less favour able light ? In a case which came before the sitting Magis trate at the Thames Police-office, a day or two ago, some observations fell from that functionary, which were distinguished by so much right feeling and good sense, that we conceive them entitled to special at tention. A woman had been compelled to bring a charge of a most brutal assault against her husband— an engineer, in full employment with highly respect able employers—and, so far as the character or capa city of an individual can be judged of, when at tempting, under vehement excitement, to defend himself before a Magistrate, a man rot wanting in intelligence. With the points of the case, as deposed to in the evidence adduced in support of the charge, ' we are not called upon at present to deal, except to observe that they went to establish the commission, by the husband, of a most aggravated and unmanly outrage against his wife. After the hearing, Mr. BROW:RIP proceeded to state the reasons which induced him not to dispose, summarily, of the case, by imposing, as the Act of Parliament authorised him to do, a pecu niary fine on the accused—but to send the case for trial before another tribunal—the Criminal Court. Of these two alternatives, which the Act of Parliament left in matters of the present nature, when proved to the satisfaction of the magistrate, he, for one, greatly lamented the alternative of imposing a pecuniary fine had been given to them at all The obvious evil attaching to the exercise of this summary jurisdiction was, that the discretion it left to the delinquent of paying a pecuniary fine, or submitting to an equivalent term of imprisonment, dismissed the wealthy offender with out any particle of punishment, which for the same offence it visited on the poorer culprit. In the case be fore him, any fine which he would be empowered to lay upon the prisoner would be little felt by a man in his condition, earning competent wages, and would, there fore, he very little proportioned to the extremely set i ous character of the offence which had, in Mr. BRO DERIP'S opinion, been proved against him. So the worthy magistrate bound the witnesses over in the usual manner to appear against the prisoner at the Central Criminal Court ; at the same time accepting r tr e i n a s l o o n n ab t l i e le b i a n i d l ie fo tm r t e he nt a which N\p,opueladrabnecperetpoartaekdefrohs from their depositions. Now, if there be one feature in the proceedings of our police judicature more offensive than another, it certainly is that vicious inequality b e t ween the penal ties inflicted for offences of the same class and degree on the offender with money in his pocket and the offender without it. It has been often boasted that England is that country in which the rights of property are always best respect ed. In God's name, where they exist, let then be religiously respected; but, there are ways of exer cising them, which so completely remove them out o the pale of all " respect," that in the eye of munici- Newark are- anxious for the adoption of the line by the Legislature. It would place Newark in its former position with respect to the northern and southern traffic, which has been one of the great elements of its prosperity. Newark would become, by means of this line, a depot fbr railway traffic. The inhabitants of Newark are anxious for the success of the Newark and Sheffield line, and also for that of the Nottingham and Lincoln, but they have not the same interest in the latter line which they have in the two former, Newark is a great agricultu ral market.. It is a great market fur malt and flour. Any thing that Wonl4 bring Manchester nearer to Newark would be of advantage to Newark. The more direct the way the greater the advantage. Other witnesses were then called, who gave evidence in favour of the project. NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE FREE-TRADE BAZAAR. (THIS DAY.) Notwithstanding the price of admission to the Bazaar has been raised to 2s. 6d., it still ccntinues to be crowded. The doors this morning, long before the hour of opening, were besieged by crowds of well-dressed ladies and gentlemen, anxious to secure an early admission. Bow-street was thronged with carriages, and the exterior of the box entrance of Covent-garden Theatre presented an appearance which reminded the playgoer of times long gone by, when the trembles were in their glory. There were placards posted outside the theatre announcing to visitors from the country that on their pre senting their return railway tickets at the box-office they • would be admitted once to the Bazaar free. The sales have been, we believe, considerable; for we observe that in many of the standings all the articles which were exhibited the first day have disappeared, and others substituted in their stead. Indeed, it is announced that every day there will be a change in the articles exhibited at the standings. Contributions continue to arrive daily, and so numerous are they that we believe, although the Bazaar has now been open for more than a week, not one half of the contributions have yet been exhibited. Among the recent arrivals is an elegant pony phaeton, manufactured and preSented by Mr. Richard Andrews, Southampton. It is a beautifully built little carriage, under duty size. Its colour is purple lake, with fine blue leather lining. It is marked at 40 guineas. There is also a cargo of coals sent to the Bazaar. The band and the rock barmonicon ate stationed in the upper boxes. We mention this fact, because we have heard many persons express a great anxiety to see the rock bar monicon, but they have been unable to discover in what part of the theatre it was stationed.

The state of trade in the wholesale markets appears just now to be tolerably satisfactory, as there is a good business doing for actual consumption in most of the leading staples. The arrivals from all parts of the world continue large, and this keeps prices down, and checks speculation, whether in all cases the importers are obtaining a satisfactory return on their capital may admit of some doubt. Among the Manchester houses there has been a little bustle by the arrival in town of so many parties connected with the manu facturing districts and large provincial cities, to visit the Anti-Corn-law Bazaar ; and the retailers have generally experienced a decided increase in their business from the same cause. The influx of visitors and men of business to the "great metropolis," is another proof, at the same time, of the important influence of low fares on railways, as it is undoubt edly in a great measure owing to the excellent arrangements of the League for bringing up passengers at greatly reduced fares, that the arrivals are so numerous. The Funds have been slightly flattened by rather an in creased supply of stock, but there is no essential alteration. Consols for immediate transfer have realised 98% to 98%, and for time 99 to 99%. Exchequer-bills have been again marked 545. to 565. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 100% to 101, and the Three per Cents. 97% to India Stock has been at 277%. This is selling day in the Foreign Market, and there has been very little business done. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 30%, and the Three per Cents. 42 to %. Mexican Stock has realised 36%, and Chilian 98%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 63%. A meeting of the Portuguese Bondholders is to be called, to censider the con version scheme. The Shares of many of the Railways already in operation have been rather firmer to-day, and there is an improve ment in their value. The scrip of the projected lines re mains about the same. Paris and Lyons Shares have risen, both for Laffitte's and Ganneron's. BRITISH FUNDS TMIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 97% 98 3 per Cent.
