MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1844. 'We have received the following communication from Oxford :—" The Reverend WILLIAM Goon- Ersouoir PENNY, N.A., Student of Christ Church and Perpetual Curate of Ashendon, Bucks, has re signed his studentship on conforming to the Roman Catholic faith. It is also announced, and the intelli gence has produced a deep sensation, that the Re verend JOHN HENRY NEWMAN has intimated to the Reverend Mr. WILLIAMS, the late candidate for the Poetry Professorship, the impossibility of his con tinuing a member of the Anglican Church." A n Evening Contemporary of Saturday, who is strongly opposed to the Tractarian heresy, gives a dif ferent version of Mr. PENNY'S case, and ob serves that the Dean of Christ Church, having been informed that this gentleman had Joined the Church of Rome, ordered inquiries to be insti tuted, when it " appeared that he had been a Ro manist for some months past, retaining his student ship and livings. A Chapter," adds our Contempo rary, " was held on Wednesday last, at which the Dean and Canons, after commenting in terms of du , - reprobation upon this shocking affair, struck off Mr. PENNY'S name from the hooks of the college." If this last version be correct, we do not wonder at . the indignation manifested by the Christ Church authorities ; but in the absence of more authentic testimony we are willing to adopt the most favourable view of Mr. PENNY'S case, and to believe that ho, resigned his studentship the instant he found that he could no longer conscientiously conform to the Established Church. But how completely does this circumstance of his conversion to the Catholic faith confirm what we stated more than once at an early period of the Oxford controversy—namely ' that the doctrines e doctrines of the Tractar i ans lead, asnecessary consequen ce, to Popery ! More than one advocate of these doctrines has already abandoned the faith of his fathers—the faith in which he himself was b on , and bred—in favour of Catholicism, and now we find Messrs. PENNY and NEWMAN following the same erunple. As regards the latter gentleman, we cannot but express our regret and :surprise that he has not seen fit, long before this, to announce " the impossibility of his continuing a member of the Anglican Church," for, from the very first rise of the Tractarian heresy, he was conspicuous above all others by his zeal in its favour. His was no mode rate, qualified approbation, but downright enthu siasm; he carried out its doctrines to the utmost possible extent, and left even Dr. PUSEY far behind him in his advocacy of Puseyism. He was, in fact, an ultra-Puseyite, and opposition, so far from checking his zeal, served only to give an additional stimulus to it. Surely it was his duty, holding such views—views so utterly opposed to those of the Established Church—to have renounced his connexion with the Establishment long ere this, and to have frankly and boldly thrown off the mask, and exhibited himself in his true colours ! But, despite its high pretensions and somewhat imaginative character, there is a decided taint of Jesuitry lurking in the constitution of Tractarianism ; it is specious and showy, abounds in clap-trap appeals to the external senses, and is fond of the picturesque in religion ; but it is deficient in simplicity and straightforwardness, and while it is well calculated to lead captive_ the susceptible fancy of youth, it makes not the slightest impression on the heart. Though we do not deny that Tractarianism has done some good by rousing the sluggish feelings of Mother Church, and making her more active— from the pressure of necessity—in the perform ance of her duties, as little can we deny that it has been the means of doing world of mischief, by unsettling men's minds, con founding the true with the false in religion, and sub stituting—or attempting to substitute—mere showy ceremonial observances, for pure, heartfelt, unso phisticated worship. Our main objection to Tracta rianism is, that it has nothing substantial—nothing sterling in its character. We believe that it is per fectly sincere in its wish to do good, but it sets about the task in a wrong spirit. It exhibits a fondness for theatrical display that is wholly at variance with the meek, modest, unobtrusive spirit of Christianity ; and puts forth such exalted pretensions, and justifies those pretensions in so imperious a fashion, that it is im possible for any one to acquiesce in them who is not prepared to surrender up all freedom of opinion, and turn a deaf ear to the calm, grave remonstrances of reason. We hope, in justice to his sense of right, that every clergyman who holds Tractarian doctrines, will immediately follow the example of Messrs. NEW MAN and PENNY, and openly renounce his connexion with a Church of which it is impossible he can be a conscientious or efficient minister. A careful perusal of the report of the " Select Committee on Mortmain," appointed last session by the House of Commons, although it has afforded us, in conjunction with the Minutes of Evidence, some entertainment, as well as instruction, has not led us to concur in the pro-repealing views of the Com mittee. In this report we have a fair statement, we must allow, of the origin, objects, and operation of the N.lortmain laws; but we do not find an adequate case made out for their abrogation. Nay, the Select Committee conclude their report by declaring " that" they do not feel authorised, by the terms of reference, to report in favour of (even) ' any specific alterations of these laws." These terms were precise, if they were not ample enough to include the recommendation of any remedial measure which the result of their investigations might have appeared to them really to warrant. They were instructed " to inquire into the operation of the laws of Mortmain, and of the restrictions which limit the power of making gifts and bequests for charitable and religious uses." But the " finding of this tribunal of inquiry , is simply that they feel bound to state, from an at tentive consideration of the evidence submitted to them by witnesses whose means of information and tuthority must be held to be great, that the operation of the laws is most unsatisfactory; tends to doubt expense, uncertainty, and litigation ; frequently de feats good and pious purposes which the present aspect of the country would induce all men to wish fulfilled; while, from the existing facilities for evasion they cannot be regarded as serving the main pur pose for which they are supposed to be maintained, by securing the heir from the unexpected alienation of property to which he might reasonably have hoped to succeed." This is all very well—as a one-sided view of the case. But the " good and pious purposes," the 4,...a. frequent defeat . .. . . pathetically deprecated, were just as ofteri represented in times gone by, by the most exorbitant and reckless alienations of property which the timidity of super stition, or the extravagant dotation of a guilty con science worked upon, intimidated, excited, or cajoled by the crafty whisperings of a ghostly father—under the fiercest access of his penitent's malady, whether of mind or body, could extort from him in favour of some ecclesiastical foundation or spiritual destina tion, and to the manifest robbery of the rightful legal heir. For our own parts, although we see, on the list of the Committee, the names of such highly respectable men of all political parties, as Lord JOHN MANNERS, Mr. FREDERICK SHAW, Mr. CHARLES BULLER, the Hon. Mr. SMYTIIE, Viscount CLIVE, Sir GEORGE GREY, &c., we are not at all convinced that there is anything in the altered aspect of society and political institutions at this day, which should induce the Legislature to throw down a bar rier which the " wisdom of our ancestors," so long ago as a period even before the PLANTAGENETS existed, and under that heroic line of Princes consolidated, to protect the landed property of the laity against the encroaching and grasping spirit of the churchmen. _ls to the securities which the Select Committee con .eive to be provided by the present state of society ind of the law against similar diversions of pro ?erty from its legitimate channels of descent, . nheritance, or representation, to corporations ecclesiastical, charitable, or municipal, their own admission, as to the " facilities of evasion" :Horded by the law of Mortmain under its existing arm, should make them more distrustful than they eem to be of the chances of a like evasion of the same iaw in that altered form to which they would reduce it. " The Moirrstaris LAWS had their origin in a state of society widely different from the present ; and nearly, if not all, the reasons" (the Committee ob -erve) which appear to have induced the PLANTA GENET and TUDOR Kings and Parliaments to enact the various laws restricting the alienation of real property, first to religious, and, subsequently, also, to lay corporations, from the time of MAGNA CHARTA down to the Reformation, exist no longer."—(P. III.) We are not so sure of that. We can imagine a case in which, if the piety or remorse of some san guinary Norman Baron has remitted, on his death -bed, part of his ill-gotten lands (the rewards of his brigand violence, or the indications of his Sovereign's favour), to the impoverished but illustrious house of some lespoiled Saxon Thane, it is at least possible that such lands would have been applied at that time, or been found at this, appropriated to some more honourable and respectable uses than if they had been surrendered to a spiritual brotherhood. For example, the Almonry at West minster, in the hands of a succession of lay proprie tors, continued through the last eight hundred years, might never have been presented at law, as the nuisance it has been for about a century past, owing to the :haracter and pursuits of the tenantry who have held that close under the ecclesiastical ownership of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. This reminds us :hat the Bishop of LONDON, a witness examined be t'ore the Committee, gave some characteristic evidence. Ilis Lordship did not once allude to the Almonry and its housekeepers, but he expressed great indignation at the fact of the late Dean of WESTMINSTER'S bequest of 5,0001. to the Trustees of the Metropolis Churches' Fund having been found to be void owing to the operation of this law of Mortmain, which law had been successfully appealed to by the residuary legatees under Mr. DEAN'S will. Then the Bishop gravely tells the Committee "that there would be no danger of the Protestant clergy using undue in fluence over dying persons in favour of the (Estab lished) Church ; but the doctrines of the Roman Ca tholics would lead to such influence being used." Liberal, this : but we would not have trusted ; the Right Reverend CHARLES JAMES, himself, with the late N. M. ROTHSCHILD, if the Bishop's darling scheme of " more churches" had been then afoot, and himself at the great broker's bed-side in his last illness. Wft are inclined to think that WILLIAM the Cormtuestots, thougb, b e disinterested than Dr. Bt. sagacity which is slow to dee n erve ) ' might , not have been more itself. more thatt learned and interesting evidence of Mr. R. MAT- i THEWS, the barrister, we have marked, for the Bishop' especial perusal, the following paragraph : " The alienation of land in Mortmain seems to have been practised to a very considerable extent, at a very early period of English history. Seldon states that a license from the Crown was necessary for that purpose among the Saxons, at least sixty years before the Con quest. There is a curious passage in Speed, 441 b, which may also be found in Tomlins's Law Dictionary, title Mortmain—' William the Conqueror demanding why he conquered ;the realm by one battle, which the Danes could not do by many, Frederick, Abbot of St. Alban's, answered, that the reason was, because the land, which was Lfor the maintenance of martial men, was given and converted to pious employers, and for the maintenance of holy votaries; to which the Conqueror said, that if the clergy were so strong that the realm was enfeebled of men for war, and subject by it to foreign invasion, he would aid it. Therefore he took many of the revenues of the abbot, and of others also." We have accounts from Madrid of the 27th, the day on which NAILVAEZ was to have been assassinated. The whole affair, a brief account of which appeared in The Sun of Saturday, bears a very suspicious cha racter. It is more like a miserable ruse—a low in trigue got up to frighten the peaceful inhabitants of Madrid, and make them submit quietly even to martial law during the discussions on the Reform Bill. The very manner in which the news is given excites suspicion. " General NARVAEZ was to have been assassinated at the gate of the French Embassy. General PRIM was arrested and other arrests were made." Of the arrests we have no doubt, and as little doubt of their obj et, but that any attempt was to have been made 01 th e ife of NARVAEZ we have not the slightest proof. al mere assertion, and re sembles the fictitious plots and conspiracies which have been blazoned fort4 k by NARVAEZ and Co. ever since they assumee - despotic sway over the Spanish people. The affair at Barcelona has more the appearance of a reality, as some of the unfortunate persons arrested have found. According to accounts from that town of the 29th ult., four persons had been condemned to death, and nine to the galleys. A permanent court-martial was established. The following individuals besides PRIM have been arrested at Madrid :—MENDICATTI, a former Aide-de-camp of ESPARTERO ; Don BASA MONTENEGRO, Don MIGUEL FERRER, Don RAFAEL GARCIA, Don MIGUEL MOLIA, and Don CARLISTO INFANTES.

The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday are en tirely destitute of intelligence. Friday, indeed, no business was done, it being All Saints' Day, and only two papers were published. Petty contests, for want of better, are carried on by the Ministerial and Op position journals relative to the merits and demerits of the GulzoT Ministry, and the former certainly have the best of the fight. The following amusing attack on M. TRIERS appears in the Paris Globe:— " The Ministry of October 29 has existed for four years, and still exists, in the name of the King, in the names of the two Chambers, in the names of the elec toral body of the people. It has never shrunk from the judgment of either of these powers, by whose con currence alone, according to our present constitutional system, Cabinets are formed and supported. It is im possible to find a position more precise, more strong, more constitutional than this. Those who deny the legitimacy of the Cabinet, and its right to remain in power, must, to be consistent, deny the legitimacy of the Constitutional Government, and they should call not only for a change of Ministry, but for a revolution. To take no account of the opinion of the Chambers, the opinion of the electors, is to take no account of the charter ; is, in fact, to reject it. When, from the appreciation of the value of the as sent of the Chambers and the electors, they proceed to the appreciation of the acts of the Ministry, the Opposi tion journals are still more contradictory and blind. The Constitutionnel, the Siecle, and all the other journals of M. Thiers, find that the cannon of Beyrout and Saint Jean d'Acre was more honourable to France than the names of Tangiers, Mogadore, and Isly. The Constitu tionnel and the Siecle find that a rupture with England would give France a stronger position in Europe than a cordial understanding with her. The Constitutionnel and the Siecle find that France, which manufactured muskets in 1840, was more prosperons than France in 1844, when she is manufacturing iron rails for railroads. According to M. Thiers and his journals, the words Honour, Force, Prosperity, should be thus defined in a new edition of the Dictionary of the Academy—viz. : Honour :—A word which expresses the action of putting one's self under shelter on the approach of danger. Example—Recal of the fleet to Toulon in 1840. Force—The result of isolation, and not of union; union is not strength—the wisdom of ages tells us so. Prosperity—A state of affairs in which unproductive expenditure is increased tenfold, leading individuals to the workhouse and nations to bankruptcy. If we compare the e point of departure of - - -- • ala Wll Cll li, IS arrived, we shall find a striking difference. Had this Ministry done no more than repair the faults of that of March 1, it would still have done much. But it has done more. It has not contented stself with repairing, it has reconciled the secondary interests of the people with the interests of peace. This grand and fruitful idea will survive it, and the system of the entente cordiale will long be called in diplomatic language the system of Oct. 29. We should like to know what has survived the Ministry of March 1 ? A speech in which the English alliance was cried up to the point of sacrificing to it the naval power of France; and a speech in a disunion with Eng land was cried up to the point of sacrificing to it the peace of France. Two contradictions within a few months—and nothing more !" The Courrier Francais says : " We are informed that all the irresolutions of the Ministry on the subject of the loan are at an end. It is said to have been resolved to issue the remaining portion of the 450,006,000 f. that has not yet been negotiated. These 300,000,000 f. are to be done in the Three per Cents., and the contract is to be decided about the 25th instant. The Moniteur of Friday contains a Royal Ordon nance, dated October 30, for the re-organisation of the Polytechnic School. A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult, in the Journal de Frankfort, says : " The Government has sent a strong note to the Ha noverian Government against the commercial treaty concluded with England, and has recalled Baron de Seckendorff, the Prussian Ambassador. We cannot say what the precise terms of the note may be, but it is cer tain that it uses strong language against the anti-Ger manic conduct of Hanover. There is no possibility of an arrangement at present, and consequently the post of Hanoverian Ambassador at our Court will remain vacant, and Count de Hardenberg will not have any successor. On the other hand, it is confidently asserted that the King has received from the King of Holland overtures for a commercial connexion between Holland and the Zollverein." The following appears in a Havre journal : The long-projected idea of carrying on the corres pondence between Europe and Peru, across the Isthmus of Panama, is, it is said, about to be realised. M. Mar cescheau, the French Charge d'Affaires at Bolivia, was charged by his Government to find the means of esta blishing this service, but has hitherto met with insur mountable local obstacles. But Captain Boulanger, who is well known and highly esteemed at Havre, and has resided in Peru for several years, has come forward and undertaken to realise the plans of M. Marcescheau. It is proposed that three fast-sailing vessels, ably com manded, shall be appointed to convey the letters, pas sengers, and merchandise, between Callao and Panama, touching every voyage at Payta. By sending the dis patches from Europe to Chagres, and thence across the Isthmus, to be again embarked from the point at which the new packets arrive, it is expected that they will reach the city of Lima in 60 or 70 days from the time of their departure, whereas it requires double the time for them to arrive at their destination by the passage round Cape Horn. It is probable that, through the active ex ertions of Captain Bolanger, who is the director of this new line, the project is already carried into execution, and that this way of communication will be announced to the public, and must be received by all interested in it with the approbation and pleasure it is so well calcu lated to excite."

CHANCERY—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in his Court at West minster, shortly after 10 o'clock. MALCOM V SCOTT-JUDGMENT. His Lordship gave judgment in this case to-day, the facts of which we gave a full account on its hearing in July last. His Lordship affirmed the judgment below with costs. The Lord { Chancellor then proceeded to bear appeal motions and lunatic petitions which occu pied the Court the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-t;hancellor of England having; on Saturday disposed of all his short causes, proceeded to day to hear unopposed cause petitions which occupied the Court the whole day. No case of the least possible interest came before the Court. (Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigram are at present sitting in the Westminster Sessions-house.) (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) DIALING V. PRICE. His Homoun pronounced judgment this morning in this case, which was heard immediately before the long vacation. At the conclusion of the hearing his Honour directed certain issues to be tried upon the question in volved, namely, the mode of working certain mines in Glamorganshire. The issues having been tried before Mr. Justice Patteson, and the findings of the jury not being satisfactory to the defendant, a motion on his behalf for a new trial was made before his Honour during the vacation, and on this motion the Court now proceeded to deliver judgment. His HONOUR, after enumerating in detail the various objections urged by the defendant against the finding of the jury, said he saw no ground upon which those objections could be sustained, and he, therefore, thought himself bound to adhere to the Ending of the jury, and to refuse the motion for a new trial, with costs. Mr. KENYON PARKER said that, in consequence of his lionones decison, he must apply for the injunction to prevent the working of the mines by patchwork, as the motion for that injunction had, in accordance with pre vious arrangement, been kept in abeyance until his Honour's decision was kuown. • Counsel on the other side having stated that his clients were not prepared for the adoption of such a course—not being able to foresee the judgment of the Court—the motion was, in consequence. postponed. (Before Sir J. WIGRA3I.) His HONOUR disposed of a number of cause petitions which w ere unopposed, and then proceeded to hear causes. HARRIS V. HARRIS. This case came before the Court on exceptions. It as a suit which was instituted by the personal repre sentative of a deceased partner against the surviving partner, for the accounts of a partnership which was alleged to bare been entered into between the deceased and his father, the defendant. The statement in the bill was, that in the year 1834 Walter Harris, who was the husband of the plaintiff, entered into partnership with his father Thomas Harris in the business of jobmasters, postmasters, and omnibus proprietors at Richmond, and that the business was earried on between them under the style or firm of " Harris and Son," on the premises called " Wellington yard," from the month of June 1834 till the time of Walter Harris's death. The deceased made his will in September, 1843, and died, and the plaintiff was alleged to be his personal repre sentative. After the death of Walter Harris the de fendant continued in possession of the business, never having rendered any account to the plaintiff of Walter Harris's share. In the month of October he sold a con siderable portion of the effects of the partnership by public auction, and received all the moneys for them, and on being applied to for an account of these moneys, and for a dividend of the share to which she, as personal re presentative of the deceased husband was entitled, he denied that there was any partnership existing between them, consequently it became necessary to file the present bill, which was done in Dec., 1843. To that bill a plea and answer were put in. On the 29th of February, 1844, the plea was argued and disallowed, with liberty to the defendant to amend it. The defendant amended hisplea, and the amended plea was set down for argument and disallowed on the Ist of May. Twenty-four exceptions were taken to the answer, and the first six were allowed by the Master. The Master considered that it was not necessary to hear any more, those which were allowed being sufficient for all the purposes of the plain tiff, and he, therefore, overruled all the others. To that disallowance exception had been taken, and those ex ceptions were now brought before the Court. Mr. Kenyon Parker and Mr. Winstanley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Temple for the defendant. By the answer it was denied that any partnership had ever existed, the case set up being that the defendant had employed his son during his lifetime in the capacity of his servant. His HONOUR allowed the exceptions. JE/171.1...) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court heard motions in the early 'part of the day, and afterwards proceeded to hear arguments in cases on the new trial paper. No case of public interest came on in the course of the morning. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON. ) THE QUEEN V. ALDRED - APPLICATION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. MARTIN applied in this case on behalf of Mr. Marsh, the Mayor of Yarmouth, for a rule for a criminal information against the defendant. Mr. Marsh stated in his affidavit that he was Mayor of Yarmouth, and a magistrate of the borough, and that on th, 10th of June last he attended at his office for the purpose of trans acting magisterial business, upon which occasion a person was charged with ringing the bell of Mr. Aldred during Divine service, and a constable produced a paper without any direction or signature relative to the offence with which the person was charged. The Mayor and the Magistrate who was with him were of opinion that they could not receive such a paper, and that Mr. Aldred ought to attend himself. The paper was re turned to the constable with injunctions to tell Mr. Aldred that he must attend himself if he wished to take proceedings against the party. This took place on the 10th of June. On the 12th of June, Mr. Marsh was ;,ruing in a l o ng King-street, when the defendant came up to him, seized him by the arm, and making Use of some very offensive expressions, demanded an explanation for the impertinent manner in which the Mayor had treated his letters. The Mayor replied that he was the chief magistrate of the town, that his hands were therefore tied up, and that he could not enter into any explanation then. Mr. Aldred then reiterated the ex pressions, and followed Mr. Marsh up the street, still repeating them all the time. Mr. Marsh after this sent two persons to Mr. Aldred, requesting him to consider what he had done, and whether he would not attend to make some apology fir his conduct. Mr. Aldred did attend, but instead of making an apology, he repeated the observations again in a manner most offensive to the mayor. After the first offence, the mayor thought to take proceedings against the defendant for sureties to keep the peace, but considered that the repetition of such conduct in open court was such an aggravation of the original offence, that he felt it due to his office and to himself to take other proceedings. One of the magistrates insisted on taking sureties, which he did two or three days afterwards. But he (Mr. Martin) apprehended that the circumstances of this case were such as not to deprive Mr. Marsh on that account of coning to this Court. • Mr. Justice PATTESON—You do not put this as being a provocation to a breach of the peace ? Mr. MARTIN—It was an actual breach of the peace, for an assault was committed. Mr. Justice PATTESON—That was in the first instance. There was nothing but words in the second instance, but the magistrate was acting at the time in his magis terial capacity. Mr. MARTIN—It was SO ; and they thought it also right to have an affidavit from the police-constable. who stated in his affidavit that he merely delivered the paper without any offensive expressions whatever, and the answer he received was, the mayor and the oT ma a g n i t s ed trates ; what do I care for them? " — Rule nisi e, The Court afterwards heard causes at Nisi Prins. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) BLACKBURN V. P VGII.—LIBEL. This was an action for libel, under these circum stances :—The plaintiff carried en business as currier and leather-seller, in Union-street, in the Borough. The defendant having sold the plaintiff a quantity of goods on the usual terms of the trade —that is, two months' credit, and found on the day before the expiration of that term that there was a sale on the plaintiff's pre mises, wrote to the auctioneers, Messrs. Southey, cau tioning them not to remove the goods after the sale, on the ground that the plaintiff was a bankrupt, aid that his property was sold to elude his creditors. Subse quently, however, the defendants, on being paid their account, withdrew their letter. But the plaintiff was not satisfied with that amend for the injurious statement, and brought this action, which wry tried in Surrey before Mr. Baron Parke. The jar; found fur the plain tiff, damages, 501. Mr. Sergeant SHEA this day moved for a rule to set aside the verdict as against evidence, and on the ground of misdirection. The Learned Sergeant contended that on e t a r n i al act i n it was proved ba naskrnpty e that keeping atthe out of the way o f plaintiff h a d com mittedthe defendant on collecting day (that following the sale), and that the Learned Judge had misdirected in stating Baron m e L wh o t a , n tr e ie n t l to the jury that his absence on that occasion did not E th F e J c u a s s T e i , c as E t oafpconcurredtpher imputation, with f r t o h m L t e a w r ehnveeind amount to the bankruptcy imputed.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) WMILLAN V. SIMMS. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Watson for the defendant. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 501., dated the 14th of March, 1843, for three months, drawn by a person named Webb on the defendant, and en dorsed by Webb to a person of the name of Chandler. Mr. JEavis stated that the plaintiff was a collecting clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Drummond and Co, Charing-cross, and the defendant a clerk in the office of the Commander-in-Chief, at the Horse Guards. The following witnesses were then called by the Learned Counsel, to prove the case:— George Edward Cooke, clerk to Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, the army agents, proved that the bill was in the handwriting of Webb. The bill was made payable at the Commander-in-Chiefs office. John Basterfield presented the bill when it had become due at the office of the Commander-in-Chief. He saw the defendant there, to whom he mentioned the business on which he had called. The defendant desired him to leave a notice of the bill, and told him that it would be attended to. Cross-examined by Mr. WATSON—Had never seen Simms before nor since. Does not know either Webb or Chandler. M'Millan resided at No. 4, Oxendon-street ; he is a porter or messenger at Messrs. Drummond's bank, and is in the habit of taking out letters and bills. Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury for the defen dant. He said the defendant had held a clerkship in the Commander-in- Chief's office for upwards of twenty years. Mr. Webb had been for a great number of years in the same office. In the course of the year 1843 Mr. Webb, who had made some purchases of leasehold pro perty, was in want of money, and obtained the signature of the defendant to several bills of exchange by way of ac commodation—in fact, Mr. Simms put his name to a large mass of paper, and had had to pay on account of those bills upwards of 2,0001. The bill for which the action was brought was put into the hands of Chandler, for the purpose of getting it discounted ; but he (Webb) never received a single farthing. Mr. Webb had been unfortunate, mil was now an inmate of Whitecross street prison. When the defendant stated that the bill would be taken up, he did so in the belief that Mr. Webb, in whom he had confidence, would take it up. He (Mr. Watson) could not understand why so much time had been allowed to expire before the action was brought. The bill became due on the 17th of June, 1843, and the action was not brought until June in the present year. if the transaction had been a bona fide one, it was unlikely that the matter would have been allowed to rest for twelve months. He should call Mr. Webb before the Court. Mr. George Webb was then examined. He said he was formerly a clerk in the Commander-in-Chief's office. He had been there 35 years. Mr. Simms ac cepted several bills for his (Webb's) accommodation, and he paid him nothing for them. He (Webb) took the bill to Mr. Chandler, who at that time was a bill discounter, and resided in Bury -street, St. James's. Mr. WATSON—Did you ever get one farthing for the bill ? Witness (emphatically)—No. Cross-examined by Mr. JERVIS—IS an inmate of Whitecross-street Prison. Was dismissed from the War office about six months ago. Why were you dismissed? \S itness—Out of matters which arose out of these trans actions. Was it not for putting Simms's name to bills to the amount of 2,000!.? Mr. Baron ALDERSON (the witness being embarrassed) —You need not answer that unless you like—it is a very awkward question. If you answer it in the affirmative you will be sent to Newgate. Witness—Am I obliged to answer it ? Mr. Baron ALDERSON—No. The witness accordingly did not reply to the question. The jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff, for 531. 9s. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) THE ROMEORD BANS-•-IN RE JOHNSON, JOHNSON, AND MANN. This being the day appointed for the adjourned ex amination of the bankrupt, the ex-Alderman Thomas Johnson, the various interested parties were in Court, when, Mr. LANGIIAM, solicitor for the bankrupt, made an application for a further adjournment. He said that owing to the age and infirmities of Mr. Johnson, the ac counts were not yet in that satisfactory state that he should wish them to be in, when presented to that Court.. Mr. Johnson had been most unremitting in his exer tions, and was keenly alive to the importance of ex hibiting the state of his affairs in the most plain and satisfactory manner. He particularly wished to do away with the impression endea voured to be prodnced on the last examination, that he had made away . with (for his own purposes) bills to the value of 13,3831, and cash to an amount of 12,7351. He (Mr. Langham) was happy to assure his Honour that every shilling of those sums could be accounted fie in the most lucid manner. He was instructed that these accounts could bear the strictest investigation. The bills already alluded to were in number about one hun dred and forty, and the question had, on the last exami nation, been put to Mr. Johnson, " What did you do with these r It was impossible that he could distinctly and at once answer for every transaction, and standing over a period of thirteen years, but he would on the next adjourned day be able to give dates and particulars for each of these. Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN thought that Mr. John son's son, his partner, might have assisted in making out and arranging these accounts. Mr. LANCHAM said, that unfortunately Mr. johnsim% n.. ut weaK intellect, and, therefore, quite incompe tent to assist iu the matter. In fact, he was under the care of a gentleman at that time. His HONOUR remarked that the creditors of the bank were rather unfortunately placed. Mr. Johnson himsel► being so unfitted by age and infirmity; his son, as they were then told, by mental weakness, and the other partner, Mr. Mann, from ignorance, to explain the proper state of affairs. Mr. LANGHAM said Mr. Mann was culpably negligent. His HONOUR requested that Mr. Langham, standing as solicitor for Mr. Thomas Johnson, would refrain from any observations against Mr. Mann. What time did Mr. Langham require in order to produce the accounts ? Mr. LANGHAM thought that in two months the ac countant would be prepared, and the official assignee would probably require a month more to examine those. After some further conversation, the matter was further adjourned till the 3d of February. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a full. Bench of Magistrate s.) I October thisday, a Quarter sessionstthe fortheCo Court-house, c untyo ie f r b k l e i n. well-green, d !hge xreen commencedfor the purpose of disposing of pari s h a pp ea l s , and lsl appeals against convictions pronounced by severa l o f d the metropolitan police magistrates, and to Lear a few cases of felony which stood over, by adjournment, to this day. The number of appeals on the list amounted to 28. JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—John Harrison, a young urchin, about eleven years of age, whose head was scarcely visible above tbu railing of the dock, was in dicted for and found guilty of having stolen a quantity of wearing apparel, under circumstances of remarkable daring and cunning, considering his extreme youth. It appeared that articles named were exposed for sale outside the shop of the prosecutor, and the prisoner was observed lurking about the place for a long time. At length, availing himself of an opportunity when he thought he was unperceived, he cut tile cords by which the clothes were tied, and ran off with two coats and a waistcoat, but was eventually stopped at the corner of Gray's Inn-lane. In reply to the Learned Assistant-Judge, Lieutenant Tracy, the Governor of the Westminster Bridewell, stated that the prisoner was a most incor rigible young rogue ; although so young, he had been convicted of felony, under very aggravated circum stances, three times, and twice or thrice summarily con victed by the magistrates. The Learned ASSUTA.NT-JUDGE said, such being the case, the only course open to the Court was to send the prisoner out of the country. The sentence, therefore, upon him was, that he be transported for seven years. Three men, named Hughes, Welford, and James, were found guilty of stealing a large quantity of boots and shoes, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the Westminster Bridewell.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY ) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The returns for the past week show moderate ar rivals of English Wheat, with a great increase in the receipts of all kinds of Barley, from our own coasts, as well as from abroad. Of other kinds of Grain, the re ceipts were only moderate. Fresh up to our market, the supplies of Wheat, coastwise and by land-carriage, were by no means large, yet we had a fair quantity on offer. The attendance of buyers being rather numerous, the sale for that article was very steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected. The general quality of the Wheat was good. Of Foreign Wheat, free of duty, the show was not large. The best descriptions commanded a ready inquiry, at very full prices. In other kinds comparatively little was doing. All kinds of Corn, under lock, were a mere drug, but not cheaper. The supply of Barley was large, particu larly of Foreign, which, being of superior quality. i• af,,eution vi buG meltatere. All kinds, from the extensive quantities brought forward, were heavy, at a (I, cline of Is to 2s per quarter, from the cur rencies obtained on Monday last. The best Chevalier Malt maintained its value ; but other kinds were very dull. The supply of Oats was only moderate, while the trade was steady, at full prices. In Beans—the business 'king in which was not large—we have no alteration to notice. Grey Peas were is per quarter higher. In other kinds, as well as Flour, no variation was noticed.

The great importance so generally attached to the importation of live stock from abroad, fur our markets, induces us, on the present occasion, and more especially as the "season" will be brought to a close within a month or six weeks from this date, for this year, to lay before our readers the following review of such imports from the period of the new tariff coming into operation to the present time, It will, no doubt, be recottected that, on the passing of the above measure ; notwithstanding the numerous opinions offered t 9 t'ne contrary, we intimated that (though some 611_1; must of necessity elapse) ulti mately the arri2;dis of foreign Beasts and Sheep into this country would be greater than many persons were led to ttnagine. Recent events are tending to confirm the cor rectness of our views, not only as respects the actual numbers imported, but also their quality and value. In order to show the increasing importance of this trade we shall here direct particular attention to the figurCs given below, as they form (derived as they are from official sources) a feature of considerable interest. In 1842, the first year of the tariff coming into operation, the annexed imports took place in the various ports of England, up to the end of November ; Read Oxen and Bulls 630 Cows Calves 6O Sheep 330 Lambs Swine and Hogs Total in 1842 1,570 head. Of the above, about 300 Beasts and 200 Sheep came t© hand from Spain, the remainder of the stock from Ger many, Holland, France and Zetland. Amongst those from Vigo were some very useful animals, but those from other quarters came hither in, mostly, a half-fat state. The returns for the corresponding period, in 1843, shows Ali increase, though not to any material extent, in tt e imports, compared with those of the preceding year, they having been as under : LLltd. Oassa sad Bulls 6BO Cows Calves Sheep ... 232 Lambs Swine and Hogs Total in 1834 One of the principal causes which prevented any larger increase in the arrivals in 1843, over those of 1842, ap pears to have been the rapid falling off in those from Spain, arising from the great losses sustained by the im porters from that country, even though a larger portion of the Beasts were purchased in the neighbourhood of Vigo, as low as from 61 to 71. per head. The freight of these Beasts, or, exclusive of the duty, landing, &c., about 5/ lOs per head, was decidedly against speculation; hence very few persons are found willing to purchase either Beasts or Sheep in Spain for our markets ; oonsequently we are not expecting any extensive supplies of stock •in future from any of the Spanish ports. The efforts, how, ever, which have been made by the German a 7.7.4 Dutch greziors, the results of which are now developing them selves, to improve their stock by larger imports of acme of our best breeds of Roasts, Sheep, and Pigs, lead us to the conclusion that it is from those two countries that we shall henceforth be principally supplied. It is a somewhat singular fact that the short-horns, chiefly grazed in our northern districts, were originally derived from Holland ; yet the stock lately imported thence (we are now speaking of the i3.oasts in particular) bears but a moderate similarity to the original breed. The Sheep al most e4actV resemble the old Ki-nts both in size and shun" The increase %Web is observed in this year's i— lions must not, we find, be attributed to —,porta _ specu lators, at least three-fourths of 0- the auspices of certain ..em having been u n d er said, in thP moneyed parti e s, mov i ng , it i s ..ig ' nest circles abroad, w h o h ave actua ll y h a d '- ' their own salesmen offering the stock for sale in this market. This circumstance has, as might be imagined, caused no little surprise here ; but of course there is no remedy for it. We have remarked, in the foregoing ob servations, that a great improvement has taken place in the quality of the Beasts lately imported. This O a :ever more extriz_ed than in the :;upoli, brought iorwa r hitre on 1 , 1.(1A3 1.4, fort itt of Ow 165 to ad in the war" ket on that day, at least fifty of them were iu whatlvel s be considered good condition; indeed, we saw severa l the weighed 160 stones (81bs to the stone) each. The WI were better than we have hitherto noticed them ; 1311 there were none calling for particular observatio e• Strange as it may appear, not a Angle instance has o °' curred—even though such experiment,, both in pasture and stall, have been numerous—in which it has boil iound possible to fatten foreign 13, ass in this count r y o ith advantage. Notwithstanding all the care a nd at' tention shown, they—arising, no doubt, from chang e , ° food—have gradually decreased in weight, and very often been attacked by the epidemic. On inquiry en, personal inspection, we find that the Beasts, on bea slaughtered, die to use a technical expression, tremely well ; much better, in fact, than their touch and appearance would lead us to expect ; consequ ebil they have become more in favour amongst the butcher ; than they were some months since. The supplie s ° , 4 foreign stock here this morning consisted of 40 Bea"' and 60 Sheep—all from Rotterdam—and of fair sale able quality., while since this day se'nnight the importatiers sor London and the various outports have amounted 10 210 Beasts and 194 Sheep, which, added to previous jov ports, will give the following total : Beasts.
