PVENING by the Nchle and Learned Lord near ',Ain( Lord 11roughinni he cottli no. but think th a t the Noble ;Ind t_.:.tort 'must. be a Lttle mistrustful dins own position, n lien he saw that, with all his commanding and unrivalled powers, and with all his energy an d a bili ty, t h ere was h ardly any one who had been in the habit o f act i ng w i t h hi m, t h at was net now directly apposed to i pim. he was no t aware th a t any persons in either House, act,l eonsi.stently on (he pnticiples which the Noble and -earnuit Lord had prol-ssed, wield be inclined to take the Noble and Learned Lord at present as their leader. Lord BROUGHAM wished to make an observation with reference to the charge which the Noble Alarquis said he had brought against the Government for altering their policy on the 'remise of the late King. Now he believed it was not till Nov. 1837 that they had heard for the first time the doctrine of finality propounded in another place.—( Hear, bear.) Per haps he was wrong, and perhaps it had always been professed as tee prin.,iple of the Government, but he knew that it was net professed just before the general election.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Nothing was said about. finality till the new Queen aril the new Court. came. Now, he had no doubt the. Noble Marquis thought he had made a very powerful speech—(Great laughter) e -and if his Noble and Learned Friend opposite (Lord Lyndhurst) thought he had been da maged much, he would address the House ; if not, he was sure he would not trouble hem. He (Lord Brougham) did not feel th the had been much damaged—( Renewed laughter)— hut he wished to reply to the last observation of the Noble Marquis, which the Noble Marquis might think was very severe—( Laughter)—namely. that he ( Lord B.) had no party to follow him. If he were in the Colonial office perhaps he miglit have had same one to follow hen, but would the Noble Marquis take the trouble to say how many followed him when he vas out of office.—( Laughter.) No party to fellow him ! Why he was plagued from morning to evening, of which he did not complain, to preside at public meetings. Nobody presented so many petitions to their Lordships as him elf.—( Hear, hear. ) Was the Noble Marquis ever overburdened with petitions ? (Laughter. ) He had no objection to make ever all those public meetings, whether eatrician or plebeian, which he could not attend, to the Noble Marquis; for he was asked till he Was sick of refusing to preside at meetings, all on the Liberal side of the question, and to form a party. That was the thing he had been asked to do by all Reformers who stuck to the Reform standard, and he believed he would soon be able to produce a party that would satisfy the Noble .Marquis. They would see whether they had any possibility of actin g in corcer, although God forbid he should become a leader. He was the leader of Opposition in the House of Commo ns for many years; and no one. could have led a more slavish life than he did there, God knew ; although had it not been for that lead, the Noble Marquis would not have been a leader of a party now.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The LORD CLIANCELLOI. said that the Noble Lord bad ...rid that in her Majesty's Speech the attetitioll )f pa 1u dent ',";'••• called to the measures rennittg of:lointstra;.to.i of Justice, and that none uf these ;K.eonio last was undoubtedly true ; but whose feel, v-as it that 1110 expe.c tat ion so raised had not been realised. t the eoinueetectineet Of the Session there were two itnvortant nieasures on which legislation was required, namely, the Ecclesiastical Courts and the_ Court of Chancery. He ( the Lord Chancellor) introduced a Bili for the regulation of th , discipline of the Church, which unfortunately was sent to a Select Committee, and was there so completely altered that. he no longer consi dered himself re-ponsible for it, and merely voted tor the third reading because he thought it might receive such alterations in the House of Commons as would make it an admissible measure. —(Hear, hear.) The House of Commons took a different • view of the matter, and it was one of the measures which the Noble and L earne d Lord had described as having been abandoned. This was no fault of the Government, but it was the fault of their Lordships. On the other subject, the Court of Chancery, two or three years ago he proposed two Bills for that p urpose, o f b ot h o f w hi c h the Lord Chancellor moved the rejection. The arrears of cases became so great that he deter mined not to let the present Session pass without making some attempt to correct the evil, and he wrote to the Noble and Learoed Lord, pressing him to take the subject into his consi deration, That proposition was received in a friendly way, and h e hoped that the Noble and Learned Lord would have sup. ported him. After Easter lie again communicated with the Noble and Learned Lord, and was glad to hear that he gave notice of a motion for the production of returns, little expecting to be blamed for inattention to the wants of the Court. As he found no chance of obtaining the co- operation of the Noble and Learned Lord, he turned his attention to see how far the obtaining of a smaller measure was likely to prejudice the obtaining of a greater at some future period, and from a consideration of all t:2e difficulties, he was induced to postpone it until the next Ses sion, He trusted he had now satisfactorily explained why neither of these measures had become the law. He considered, however, that they ought not to be delayed beyond the com mencement of the next Session, and trusted that then the No ble and Learned Lord would give his co-operation and assistance, and be a little more liberal at the commencement of the next Session than he was on the present. If his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Lyndhurst) would give him his support next Session, he truste they might effect a heneficial change in the Court of Chance dy. Lord LYNDHURST said he would only advert to the single fact, that a reform in the Court of Chancery had been promised in the Queen's Speech, and after a pro tracted Session had not been attempted.—( Hear, hear.) He had reeommended what seemed to him the only practicable reform—the appointment of a new Judge—and he had under stood that his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack had assented to that measure. He regretted greatly this delay. I he motion having been agreed to, Their Lordships adjourned at Eleven o'Clock. MEETING OF THE BRITISH AS- SOCIATION IN BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGIIAM, FRIDAY EVENING.—AS the time of Meeting approaches things here begin to wear a more ani rizated and promising appearance than they presented at t h e beginning of the week. A large number of members have b en during the last two or t h ree d ays, an d ,c' d mannerwhich the call for subscriptions has the spirits: spon ,led to leaves nothing to be desired on this ► been re head ; indeed ; believe I am fully borne out in saying that after providing fnc the necessary expenses of the meetings during the week, a s urplus will remain more than adequate to the entertainment of the members in the most sump tuous manner. A wish lintever, has been expressed In. tawny of the leading members et' the Association, that it, present and future meetings should be conducted in that t,ui,2t and unostentatious manner befitting the character and important objects of the Society, and it will not be the least good effected by the meeting in Birmingham, if the manner in which it is conducted tends to the attainment of this desirable end. On Thursday the Chairmen, Seere tar;es, and Stewards of the different sections were ap pointed, and the Local Council hold their first general meeting to -morrow ( Saturday) morning. Arrangements have in the mean time been made for procuring the access Jf non-resident members to cvcr)thing worth seeing in Birmi ng h a m and its neighbourhood, many of the manu facturers having liberally communicated to the Council their desire to throw open their establishment to those strangers who may feel interested in visiting them. The Society o f Arts will open their exhibition of works of mo dern artists to the members of the Association during the.. week, and the Council of the Royal School of Medicine have also announced their intention of giving free access to their Anatomical and Natural History Museum. Nume rous models have been sent in during the week to the great rown in the Grammar School, which has been kindly given by the Governors of the Institution for this exhibition, as also specimens of the various manufactures under their dift'erent forms, from the raw material to the most delicate and highly wrought pieces of workmanship. 'Amongst the models are several use ful. and cur i ous i nven ti ons ; one o f t h ese i s a d es i gn f o r passing canal boats, by means of inclined planes and simple and ingenious machinery, from one water level to another, without the expensive and tedious working of locks ; another consists of the model of a railway mail, with plan I for changing the bags at the various stations without ar resting the progress of the carriages ; a third is a valuable contrivance for preventing accidents from the breaking of ropes or chains in ascending or descending mines; in addition to which there are models of every description of steam-engines in operation in Birmingham and the coal and iron district of Staffordshire, including a highly finished model of the newly invented Stoke Prior engine. The Local Council have sustained an irreparable loss in the leath of John Carrie, Esq , one of the Vice- Presi dents eject of the British Association, and President of the Birmingham Philosophical Institution. He had engaged to furnish a g - fologieal map of the town and neighbourhood, for the use of the Geological seciion, a task to which his devotion to this brute:: of science and his talents eminently '- fitted him. He was a mat of great arid scientific attain ments, and ever ready to lei:d his aid in promoting the es L establishment of instituti ons ca l c uated to benefit and eon. tribute to the happiness of mankirO, His remains were followed to the grave by the members of the Philosophical Institution and by a numerous body of the i`Jost respectable • inhabitants, by whom he was held in veneration and esteem. Her Majesty, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton and Lord Liltord : will return to Buckingham P,Nllce this afternoon, from Windsor Castle. Lord and Lady Southampton are daily expected in C a ,-hon-gardens, from a lengthened tour in Egypt, Pa lestine, Syria, Greece, and Italy. The Noble Lord has been absent from England more than twelve months. The Ear? of Liverpool and Lady Louisa Jen kinson have left Fife House, for Pitchford Hall, near, Shrewsbury. The Noble Earl will return to town the week after tiest, when the marring:, announced between his Lordship's accornplisi. rialightur with John Cotes, Esq., of Wondeot Hall, Shropr:hire, will be solemnised.

Lord LYNDHURST last night made that annual attack on the Ministers with which he, with the art of a skilful advocate, has endeavoured on one or ;wo former occasions to wind up the Session. He iegan by professing that it was a duty he had to ierforin—a task he had undertaken, apparently at :he suggestion of the party whose servant he is, and he decitirel that he should perform it with simplicity and firmness, and to the best of his ability. lie referred to the great interests of the empi re ,' t o t he great talents and ability required to conduct them, and he proposed to test the vigour and energy of the Ministers, by their conduct in Parliament, Taking up the QUEEN'S Speech at the opening of the Session, and describing it as the speech of the Ministers, he said that it particularly recommended to the attention of Parliament Municipal Corpora tions for Ireland, as essential to the peace of that country, to carry out the recommendations of the Ec clesiastical Commissioners, required for the security of the Church, and to improve the administration of lustice. Then, passing each of these subjects in review, the Noble and Learned Lord accused the Ministers of gross neglect in not forwarding the Irish Corpo rations Bill through Parliament, accused them of making inconsistent objections to the Lords' amend ments, and accused them of having tacked on the clauses relative to the transferring the Grand Jury cess to the Town Councils, with a view to have an opportunity of throwing out the Bill and keeping alive a grievance. He stigmatized their conduct in tacking on those clauses as insulting to the House of Lords, and as tricky and disingenuous. They had taken no steps whatever to carry out the recom mendations of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, but had abandoned the Bill which had been sent down from the House of Lords. Not one measure of any kind or form had they introduced to improve the administration of justice. Of that no part was more important than the Court of Chancery, which he had brought under their Lordships' notice, and proved that it was a most intolerable grievance. The Ministers had consented to his plans of improve. ment, but they had not taken a single step to carry them into effect. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded this part of his speech by pronouncing that the Ministers were self-condemned, and stood convicted of being totally unable, by wanting the confidence of Parliament, and by wanting vigour and abilities, to conduct the Goveru me►nt of the country. He insisted, and on such a point must he considered an adequate authority, that for any set of men to possess themselves of the Government, and to presume to administer the national affairs, without talents and vigour to war rant that possession, was contrary to the Constitu tion, was a high misdemeanour, and subjected then: to impeachment. Subsequently, reviewing the Canada quest.on— to hear the debate on which he said Noble Lords had hurried from all parts of the country and from abroad, which, after a little per sonal altercation, had dropped into oblivion—he examined the Ministers' legislation on that point, which he condemned both for delay and haste, and plainly charged them with inventing an excuse for putting off the 13ii1. They had stater recent news from Canada prevented them from proceeding with the measure for uniting Ow two Canadas, but what that n ew s was h a d never transpired. Their conduct on the Ja maica Biii, including the interiud e o f t h e c h ange of Ministry, w as unsparingly and unscrupu l ous ly vilified, and the education scheme was not forgot ten. Coming to the close of the Session, he said that they had swept out their offices, and poured a heap of Bilis on their Lordships' table, to make a show. Some of them were inoffensive, some were mischievous, some were jobbing, and som e f oun d e d —like the Bill for the Sale of Spirits in Ireland, which was so bad that nobody defended it in the House of Lords—on a most base compromise and desertion of duty. The conduct of Ministers on the Postage Duties was not spared, and they were plainly told that they did not wish that mea sure to pass—that they brought it forward to de ceive their friends, having invented the pledge to procu re i ts re j ect i on i n the C ommons , a nd hav ing relied on the Lords, as the subalterns of Govern ment had openly sz:;d, to kick out the Bill. Their policy was i i .i hie - vo l us * base, t kr g conduct shabby. It was intriguing, mischievous, ing. H e app li ed to rue In-' it almost every offensive epi thet. They w ere t h e causes of all the agitation dienlutidie country ; they had excited the people to sedition, to gain their own ends, and were now punishing the victims of their fraud and ambition.

Lord LYNDHURST left I ofF by a motion for an account of the dates of certain Bills sent up to the House of Lords ; he ought to have moved an address to her MAJEsTY, or brought forward a proposition of impeach. ment. It was not fair to . the Ministers to make such heavy and important charges on such a motion. He should have given notice of his intention to attack their policy, and have enabled them to prepare for their defence. Neither was his conduct just to his own party, or to the people. If the Mi nisters are ail that he described them—if they have sacrificed the dignity of their high office, and have utterly degraded the name and func tions of Government—if they are a set of shabby, base, and mischievous inttiguers, they ought not to be suffered to degrade the Throne by rema►ning one day in power ; and Lord LYND HURST owes it to his own party—he owes it to the empire at large, not to large one art unused which could turn them out. As a Peer and a Privy Coun cillor, having access to her MAJESTY, and bound to advise her, it is his solemn duty, and the solemn duty of those Peers who think with him, to address the Throne, and in the closet of the SOVEREIGN to represent the degradation to which her Government is subjected, and the danger to which her Throne is exposed. The whole people look for safety at the hands of the Government, and will require that Lord LYNDHURST, to serve his own purposes, should not weaken, degrade, and destroy the Government without tak►ng steps, if he have clic means—and if he have nut the he is criminal in degrading it—to remove the pre sent Monsters and place the Government in other hand,i• A view of this kind seems to have foremost in Lord _AI LLBOtiIiNE'S Mitid. In lti reply, whicl;, thou3h hurrit:.d in fmictilation, from the Noble Loid iieitt z unusually excitcd, was full of pluck, and, considering the preparation of the Learned Lord, and the impromptu reply of the civilian, may be justly characterized as an able and vigorous speech,—Lord MELBOURNE dwelt em phatically on the power of the Noble and Learned Lord to pull down anddegrade the Ministers, and on his total inability, notwithstanding his great forensic talent, his extraordinary elocution, and his charac ter, to elevate himself or his party to popularity or power. That is an important fact. The least observation must satisfy every reflecting man that it is easy now to vilify, degrade, and sink into con tempt almost any Administration. The one with which Lord LYNDHURST was connected could not escape that fate, and let it be formed when it may, such will be its fate again. This lies in the nature of Government, which, though represented in theory as a protecting agen, seems in practice, with its onerous taxation, its multiplied restrictions on trade, its incessant impediments on business, its never ceasing interference with what it does not un derstand, to be more an annoyance than a benefit ; and those who administer it must sooner or later suffer from its qualities, and become contemptible or odious to mankind. Such seems their probable destiny, and to accelerate that is not the business of rival politicians. They should leave it to the tax-payers, to political writeis, who live on public grievances, or to dema gogues, who always use them to raise themselves into power, and pull down their superiors. Lord LYNDHURST, with his friends, are guilty of poli tical treachery, when they aid political writers and demagogues in ruining the Government. Lord MELBOURNE, at the close of his speech, anbnad verted very ably and justly on the conduct of the Tory Lords in not supporting the Government, which he said filled him with alarm lest their Lordships should be quite unequal to the difficult circumstances which are likely to arise. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR and Mr. BRONTERRE O'BRIEN have been brought to their level by discussion ; and such discussion as that Lord LYNDHURST last night originated is well calcu lated to bring down the statesmen of both parties to the level of very ordinary persons. Lord BROUGHAM followed Lord MELBOURNE in a style not flattering to his Noble Friend nor favourable to the Tories. The Duke of WELLING TON whose. exhibitions in the House of Lords uive his best friends the most pain, raved about "'he Chartists, and the want of military means to put them down. His Grace seems to forget that at least the humanity he showed to the enemies of his country is due to our own people. Why will he continually remind the public, by speeches un worthy of his reputation, of Pope's celebrated line— " Down Marlborough's checks the tears of dotage flow.' The Lords did nothing else of the least consequence last night than discuss the merits of the Ministers. The Bolton Police Bill, because their Lordships could not agree as to what would be its effects, was put off till this day. In the Commons, a multitude of notices were given for next Session. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH'S Pension Bill was read a third time after some fruitless opposition. On the Bank of Ireland Continuance Bill Mr. HUME made a speech concerning the operation of the Bank monopoly, which is worthy of attention. To the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. VILLIERS' remarks on the Corn-laws we shall hereafter refer. The Fisheries Bill was brought in and read a first and second time. Captain PECHELL eulogised it and Lord PALMERSTON. Mr. HUME called the attention of the House to the manner in which political prisoners arc treated, which is likely to be beneficial. A brief discussion ensued on the Colonial Mail con tracts, but before it was concluded the House was counted out. Judges, Justices, and Gaolers seem to conspire to make Lord JOHN Russ ELL the most unpopular Home Secretary, among a certain class, that has conducted the internal affairs of this country since the days of SIDMOUTH. Scarcely a day passes without bringing to light some tyrannical act of injustice, or some wanton mark of degradation in flicted on the unfortunate inmates of tzaols, and not only on the profligate and abandoned, the outcasts of society, but on persons of the middle and respect able class, who naturally look to a Whig Secretary for protection. The degrading treatment of Mr. LOVETT and his two companions in Warwick gaol before conviction—the deprivations inflicted on Mr. VINCENT and his two companions in Monmouth gaol, from which HENRY HUNT and others, under the despotic rule of CASTLEREAGH and SIDMOUTH, were exempted—and the case of the shopkeeper committed to Tothilf-fields prison the other day in default of paying a fine of 205., are all acts of grievous oppression, which, so far from vindicating the law or strengthening the hands of the Executive, tend to bring both into hatred and contempt. Some of these acts, too, arcs of the most immoral tendency, and but too strongly confirm the general belief that our prisons, instead of heimf places for correction and improve ment, ara nurseries fur indecency and crime. The treatment of VINCE vr and his comrades is utterly without ev-o,y, They were convicted for attendhp,; a nvetiog to discu: , s the People's Charter, which, in then. o wn opinion, and hi the opinion of Lord BROUGH A Al. and, Jecortiiii, to his Lordship, in the opinion of .iil.Consilutionai authorities, ancient and modern, they had o. right to discuss, and for this they are treated likx fef, deprived of nourishing food, and 01 inw)cont imd rational amusement — nay of the Means of instruction, under the Govern ment of Lord MELBOURNE and Lord JOLIN RUSSELL, who carried their Charter by means of meetings ten times more alarming than any that even the most misguided of the Chartists have been able to muster. VINCENT m ay well say, " Compare out meeting with that at Newhall-hill in 1832, and compare the results. Mr. A TTWOOD was rewarded by the secret appro bation of the Government, and by the people of Birmingham, who gave him a seat in Parliament. We are sitting in cells—fed on bread and gruel, and denied the means of communicating with our friends." It is vain to impute the blame to the re gulations of Clerical and Tory Justices. The policy of these parties is to make Loid JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues unpopular, and the apathy of the Government gives but too good effect to it. The French Journals of Thursday, the whole of —t,i c h we have received, are unusually barren of poli tical 4.. news of zny interest. In the Messenger we find a reference made to a note, purporting to be addressed by Lord Pat3tEg§ToN to the French Government, demanding why Admiral 1 4 4.T.ArinE allowed the Turk ish fleet to leave the Dardanelles ; es by an agreement between the two Governmeuts the English fleet waB tP keep in cbeclc tlu of Egypt, and the French squadron Turkish n a vy. That such direct the movePotys !,I,le a note has been addre.ssed by the Noble Foreign Secre tary to the French Cabinet we know 110 f, but the fiait is not improbable. Nearly all the French Journals predict the failure of the proposed congress of the Great Powers, to settle the Turkish question.

It will conic into operation on the 10th of September next, and runs as follows : FRENCH COLONIAL SUGAR IMPORTED IN FRENCH . VESSELS. RAW. OTHER THAN WHITE.

LIVERPOOL COIFON MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have had a large extent of business done this week, and the trade hav , . bought pretty freely, but the market has been mainly supported by the demand from exporters, whose operations have been unusually large, and, being directed principally to the better qualities of American descriptions, all abuve fair qualities, have met with buy,rs at fully id. advance, but fair and below have not improved in the least. Spe ctOators have taken 2,500 American, 600 Pernams,. .500 Egyptian, and 600 Surat, kind exporters 9,300 American (chiefly good) for Russia, 400 Pernams, 100 Marautiams, and 300 Surat. A fair demand to-day. Sales about 5,000 bales. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals as yet, with the exception of the French mail, consequently there is a very great dearth of intelligence from all quarters of the globe. We hear that 95 chests of Assam Tea will shortly arrive in this country. The tea has been put on board ship at Calcutta. Consols opened this morning at the closing prices, 91 1 r for the Account; Money 91 H, with little doing.

Last evening Ricci's delightful comic opera of Scaramuccia was produced at this theatre with the most triumphant success, Mr. Stansbury taking the part of Scaramuccia, vice Mr. Leffler. The scene of this opera is laid in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV., at which period Scaramuccia was the poet and director of an Italian operatic company in that city. Elinor (Miss Tyrer), the daughter of Anselmo ( Mr. Bender), a farmer of San Quintino, having eloped from home, Tomaso (Mr. M. W. Balfe), his servant, goes in search of her to Paris, where he finds Scaramuccia, whom he has formerly known, and in whose company Sandrina (Miss Rainforth), a former village love of Tomaso's, is prima donna. Tomaso having expended all his money, enrols himself in the company of Scaramuccia, which is en gaged to perform at grand fete at the residence of the Count de Pontigny (Miss Collett) for the amusement of a lady, who is resident at his villa, under rather suspicious circumstances. The performance at the villa consists of an ad mirable burlesque on the story of Paris and Helen, Lelio (Mr. Frazer) one of the actors of the company representing Paris, Sandrina being Helen, and Tomaso enacting Menelaus. In this character he is recognised by the lady who turns out to be Elinor,and jumps from the stage to rescue het: from the Count ; ultimately Anselmo arrives accompanied by Count Pontigny's uncle. The Count is united to Elinor and Tomaso to the coquette Sandrina, and all ends happily. The music is very light and pretty. A trio in the first act, " Pray thee, why thus gay attired," delightfully executed by Balfe, Frazer, and Miss Rainforth, was most deservedly ho noured with an encore; as was the song, " They bind with costly pearls my brow," sung by Miss Rain forth, with a harp accompaniment at the commencement of the second act. This last is a most beautiful melody, which we expect will become amazingly popular. It is decidedly the gem of the opera. There were also some admirable specimens of burlesque singing and acting by Balfe and Miss Rainforth, which received, as they deserved, thun ders of applause. The whole getting up of this opera reflects the highest credit on all concerned, and it was announced for repetition without a dissentient voice. At the conclusion of the Opera, in obedience to the call of the audi ence, Miss Rainforth, Mr. Balfe, Miss Tyrer, and Mr. Frazer, and Miss Collett and Miss G. Stansbury, came forward, and were rewarded with well-earned applause. The Hall Porter and Snap Apple Night followed, to the delight of a crowded audience. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, Auo. 23. Their Lordships sat to-day at One o'clock, for the purpose of hearing appeals. The Peers in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Headfort, and the Earl of Abingdon. TOURMAY V. WHITE. The appellant appeared in person in this appeal to conduct his own case. In the first instance, he had to state to their Lordships tVat he was a most oppressed and injured man, that his wife was on her death-bed, which had been caused by the proceedings that had been taken against him, and he trusted, therefore, that any strong observations he might make, would be attributed by their Lordships to his excited feelings, and not to any disrespect to their Lordships on his part. He had also to request that their Lordships would allow a friend to read the papers to which he intended to refer. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the rule of the House was, that no papers should be read that were not printed. The Appellant said he had no means of getting them printed. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Are the originals here? The Appellant—They are lodged with the House, my Lord. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that as that was the case, he would read the originals as the appellant re ferred to them. The Appellant—l am extremely obliged to your Lordship. No Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents, The Appellant proceeded to state his case to their Lordships. From that statement as well as we could collect, it appeared that the case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of Lord Chan cellor Plunkett refusing to re hear the case which had been previously heard, and decided against the appellant by Sir E. Sugden, when Lord Chancellor of Ireland. The Bill was filed by the respondents for the purpose of obtaining possession for themselves and other creditors and trustees, under a deed entered into between them and the appellant to liquidate his debts, of an hotel in Sackville-street, Dublin, of which the appellant had a lease for upwards of 30 years, many of which were at the present moment unexpired. Upon the case coming on before Sir E. Sugden he decided against the ap pellant. Lord Plunket refused to re-hear that deci sion land from that judgment the appellant appealed. At the conclusion of the appellant's arguments, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judg ment before the termination of the Session. lIOGGAN V. CRAIGIE. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, affirming the decision of the Court below, with costs. DUNCAN V. FINDLATER. The LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord BROUGHAM gave judgment in this case, reversing the decision of the Court below. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT—AU.. 23. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor sat in his private room at Lincoln's Inn to-day, for the purpose of hearing any matters that were pressing. PLUNKETT V. LEWIS. The bill in this case was filed for the purpose of ad ministering the property of the late Mr. Evelyn, who was possessed of large estates in Herefordshire and Radnorshire. On the 30th of last month an order had been made appointing a receiver ; and this morning, after some discussion, that order was discharged, and upon consent an order was made for a reference to the Master in all three of the causes that had been filed by different parties to appoint a receiver, all parties being at liberty to propose themselves. FARROW V. VANSITTART. His Horan) it intimated to Mr. Knight Bruce that he had fixed Wednesday, the 11th of September to hear this cause at Studeley, in Yorkshire. Our readers will recollect that the case relates to the right of the Dean and Chapter of Durham to grant to the Clarence Rail way the privilege of carrying their railroad over certain land. DOYLE V. WRIGHT. Mr. K. BRUCE, understanding that it was His Ho nour's intention not to leave town before Tuesday se'nnight, had to request he would appoint some day in the next week, when be might call the attention of the Court to this case. The subject matter related to a young gentleman connected with a Noble Roman Ca tholic family, and the cause of the necessity for men tioning the case to the Court was a difference which existed between the mother and the uncle of the young gentleman, who was the heir presumptive to the Earldom of Shrewsbury. His HONOUR appointed Wednesday next, at eleven o'clock to hear the case. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT, Auc. 22.

This insolvent, confined in Cardiff gaol, made an ap plication to be discharged on sureties. One of the bail said he was an attorney ; he was described in the affi davit as a " gentleman." Mr. Commissioner LAW declared that a gentle man" was no description in the present case. Every EVENING EDITION_ idle fellow called himself a " gentleman," and those with professions should describe themselves properly. It was contended that an attorney was a gentleman, and a case was cited in which the Court had passed a similar description. Mr. Commissioner LAW would not discharge the in solvent unless the other Commissioners held that he was wrong. He disapproved of the title " gentleman;" it was much abused. Servants out of place and ruined tradesmen styled themselves " gentlemen."—(A laugh.) The bail was accepted, subject to the opiaion of the other Commissioners. Nearly a ll th e b a il cases were granted ; there were 5G responsible persons in attendance ; the Court was, perhaps, never so respectable since its establishment. It was anything but an " Insolvent Court." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CII?CUIT.—BRIsroL, Ana. 0 1. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) At the sitting of the Court this morning a horse cause, Fisher v. Joyce, was proceeded with. It ap peared from the evidence that plaintiff and defendant are both horsedealers, in extensive way of business, the former being the proprietor of the Bristol Horse Repository, and the latter residing at Warminster. In February last. the defendant sold a chesnut gelding to the plaintiff, which he warranted sound. The price paid for it was forty pounds. The plaintiff afterwards sold it to a veterinary surgeon, named Kent, for sixty guineas, and the horse had not been in Mr. Kent's possession many days before it died of a chronic disease of the lungs. Mr. Kent immediately applied to Mr. Fisher for a return of the money, which having been repaid, the plaintiff brought the present action to re cover the sum which he had paid for the horse to de fendant. The form of the pleadings requiring of the defendant that he should make out his case first, a number of witnesses were called in his behalf, who de posed to having known the horse at different period; within the last two years, and that, down to the thee it was sold to the plaintiff, it was a perfectly sciund and healthy horse. On the part of the plainiiff the death was proved, and Messrs. Kent, N. Leigh, N. P. Leigh. and Northcote, veterinary surgeons, who made the post mortem examination, deposed that the lungs were very extensively diseased, both lobes being indurated and tuberculated, and that the horse could not have been sound on the 26th of February when the sale took place, and the warranty was made. 1111. Crowder, with whom was Mr. Stone, addressed the Jury for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Bompas, with whom was Mr. Erle, for the defendant. His LORDSHIP very ably summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after two hours' deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 42/. 10s. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LrvERrooL, Aucusr 21 CIVIL SIDE. BLAIR AND ANOTHER V. DANIEL AND ANOTHER. The plaintiffs are wholesale tea-dealers in Liverpool. The defendants are merchants in London, having an agent at Bombay, and also engaged as agents in the China trade. The present action arose out of a spe culation in tea made at the period when the China trade was opened. The plaintiffs employed the defendants to remit to China for them a very considerable sum of money to be laid out in the purchase of teas of the fol lowing description, namely, Congou, very best small black leaf, strong full Pekoe flavour, and free from ad mixture of brown and faded leaf; Twankay, fine small curled leaf on the bloom, or Hyson skin flavour ; Hyson very fine bright wiry bluish leaf. The plaintiffs wetn particular in requiring that the teas should be of the specified quality, to be sent home by Captain Rickets, in a new ship then about to be launched, crliled tha Ingleborough ; and if teas of the specified qualities could not be obtained, the defendants were at liberty to return the money in silk, at not more than 15s. to the pound, or in good bills payable in England. In 1837 the Ingleborough arrived, and the teas were deli vered to the warehouses of Hornby and Co., of London, when the plaintiffs procured them to be inspected_ by Mr. Brodribb, a tea-broker, who reported ths , ..l they were not of the qualities specified in the order•. They were then submitted to the inspection of several other London tea-brokers, who separately examined them and made reports in writing, all of which agreed in the in adequate quality of the goods. The deficiency in value was estimated at 6,9501., and the plaintiffs proposed to refer the question to any three London merchants, and to abide by their award. This was refused by the de fendants, and the plaintiffs thereupon put up the teas by auction. The present action was brought to recover the difference between the price which the plaintiffs had paid for them and what they brought at the sale. On the part of the plaintiffs the order was given in evidence, together with the reports of the tea-brokers, who were put into the witness-box. On the part of the defendants, Mr. Alexander con tended that the order must not be taken according to the literal meaning of the words, but must be qualified according to circumstances ; and if the defendants pro cured the best teas that could be had it should be deemed a sufficient fulfilment, The Learned Counsel then called a witness, who bad been for many years agent of the East India Company at Canton for the inspection and purchase of teas. This witness 'deposed that in order to secure a cargo of teas for the spring it was necessary to apply to a Hong merchant in the previous autumn, and to send through him the requisite sum of money into the country for the purchase of teas of the description required, the quality of which, in a considerable degree, de. pended upon the season. When the teas were delivered in Canton it was usual for the inspector to select and examine five chests out of every hundred, and if he was satisfied of their being of the average quality required they were passed by him. The witness was at Cart.. ton at the time these teas were brought there, and ex. amined and passed them. lie admitted that some of them did not come up to the required quality, but that they were the best which could be procured. The examinations of some witnesses in China to the same effect were also put in. Mr. Creswell, in reply, contended that, admitti ng the teas to be the best that could be procured, it was no answer to the action, for unless the very qualities speci fied could be obtained the defendants were not to send tea at all, but silk or bills. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, took the same view of the nature of the order, and a verdict was returned. for the plaintiffs—Damages, six thousand pounds. CROWN SIDE. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) James Haywood was indicted for the wil.cul murder of his wife, Mary Haywood, at Bury, 0n the 16th of April last. Mr. Brandt and Mr. Baines cond'aeted the proven tion, the prisoner was defended by Mr- Wilkins. It appeared that the prisoner kept the public-house called the White Bear, in Bury, and usually slept with his wife in a room adjoining to one occupied by his servant, Margaret Walker, and a young girl who acted as nurse. Early on the morning of the 16th of April, about half-past twelve o'clock, they retired to bed, and the servant heard them wrangling about the small amount of money which had been, taken during the day, the prisoner several times calling his wife a drunken --. She replied " I'm not drunk,' There was then a sort of scuffle, and the deceased cried out, " Oh, Jim, you'll break my arm ; don't punish me so." Ile then again accused her of being drunk. She said she had only had a gill of ale that day. The prisoner then said, " What makes thee tell me such lies ?" To ' which his wife answered, " If I have told thee a lie I beg pardon." The servant then heard her moaning for about five minutes, and all was silent. A few minute' after she heard her master say, " D- thee, if I a stick I would make thee rise," and he stru:ek he r several times. He then seemed to lift her eA and let her fill again, saying she might lie there and rot. After the lapse of a few minutes, the servant heard him rise from the bed, and sal;, " Mary, get up, get up, the child wants thee ; get, up, or I'll call Mar garet." This he repeated sevr_ral times. He then did call the servant, who came into the room and found her mistress lying on her back on the floor quite dead. There was a candle burning. She said her mistress ee:l of the medical n the was dead, and the prisoner then sent her to alarm som e of the neighbours and call a surgeon. The prisoner said he had accused her of being drunk , and that sh e got up with her feet entangled in the bed clothes, % , fl a fell l Accordingdeceased w as found to the h e quite viddne. Therewas a bruise upon her l e ft wr ist and one ur Jon the right breast. Her eyes were wide open, but bloodl ess , and o i cal men te the lips were firmly compressed upon, the teeth so asto leave marks there. On a post ?:ortent examination th o lungs and veins of the head were found much e congested. They were of opinion she had been suffocated. For the defence it was contended that the symptoms described were consistent with death by si • mple apoplexy, and medic 11 evidence to some extent was given to that effect. The prisoner was finally acquitted.
