EAST INDIA HOUSE, APRIL 24, 1,344, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. DEATH OF VICE -ADMIRAL Silt J. BRENTON, BART.,K. C.B. K With much regret we give the information, which reached us on Tuesday morning, of the death of one of the most distin guished flag-officers of the British navy, Sir Jahleel Brenton, Bart., K.C.8., Vice-Admiral of the White, LieuteiiantGo"- vemor of Greenwich Hospital, &c., who died at Leamington Spa on Sunday afternoon, in the 74th year of his age. • Sir Jahleel Brenton entered the service in 1777 ; was made a Lieutenant on the 22d November, 1790; and as well served on board the Barfleur in Lord Bridport's action off "Cabe St. Vincent's; in 1797 (in IN;hich: were also his gallant friends, two of the Admirals.at the present Beard of Admiralty) ; was made a Commander on the 3d July, 1799, and -in command of the Spec 14-gun brig, in that year fought•several gal lant actions in the vicinity of Gibraltar; three of the'eneniv's vesst is he captured during this command near Cli . pii'de Gat, under a heavy fire of musketry from :the surrounding.las. In tl e following month of October he .destroyed foi:r of the enemy's vessels in .a heavy surf, at the time exFosed to the guns of a fortification and musketry from the beach, and in the next month, November, • he displayed consurnatate 'skill and gallantry in beifting off two Spanish selnioners, Wien . other armed vessels; by these services he won his - post ri:n'r, which is dated 25tli"April, 1800. He was then selel:CM by Sit . . James (afterwards . . de: Sin aaurei as his flag 7 eaptain, and in command of. the - Cmsar, distinguished himself. in the severe action offAlgesiras, of 6th JulyylBol. Subsequently, in command of the Minerva; when that frigate. t- aground in a fog, and was list near Cherbo urg , h e defended'her during a heavy fire for several hour's, for which unsurpassable gal lantry he received the highest praise when iiequitted at a court-martial for the loss of his ship. In 1807, when in corn mand of the Spartan frigate, Sir Jahleel assisted in driving the French garrison out of Pezaro and destroying the castle ; in the following month assisted in blowiag up the Castle of Cesaratico, destroying a neighhouring battery, and'compelling the island of Sussin to surrender ; assisted at the reduction of Zante and Cephalonia, and particularly distinguished him self at the capture of Cerigo, where he was first in command. These and many other important services did this gallant officer render in the Adriatic. In the same ship, in 1810, in concert with the Success, he fought a most gallant action with and defeated a French squadron in the Bay of Naples, in which action he was severely wounded.

It is the general reproach of the holders of Some kind of property that they exercise ; to the ut- , termost, all their rights, while their duties, being for gotten, are neglected and pass into disuetude: To the duties of railway proprietors, the public has always been sensitively alive. All failures in .speed, regu larity, economy, safety, are culled with care by the public censor, " set in a note-book, conned by rote, to cast into the teeth " of the great " rail way monopolists." "But then their rights what are they ?" " Rights ! Who ever heard of the rights of railway proprietors ? Rights! Why, these monstrous monopolists these lionaires these speculators what rights have they 2". They have the right to be. abused, to be found fault with, to be legislated upon, to be set upon by Boards of Trade and Select Committees—to carry her Majesty's mails for nothing—to carry a peasantry in coaches, for less money than the cost, and less than half what it costs them to walk—in short, to do as the public choose! Well, and their pay—surely these public servants should be paid their hire—have they not a right to their wages, to compensation for loans and risks, and expended money and time and. toil, and all this service ?—they may surely have their hire and a reasonable profit upon their work ? " Well, we must think about that—we will consider of it." "If they are to be paid at all, we must see that at least they are not too well paid." Be it so. Then let the rights of railway property be con sidered! its duties being already so well understood. And first let us inquire who these great railway pro prietors are, and what they have done for the public. Are they not the authors of one of the very greatest boons ever conferred on enterprise and skill, upon commerce, industry, and social advancement. Have they not carried through, to a happy issue, one of the greatest inventions of modern tines—and carried it through in the face of difficulty, discouragement, and vast unpopularity ? Let us see what has hitherto been the general expression of public feeling towards railways. The inventor of a new art was deified by the Greeks and Romans. Are we to advocate an- apo theosis of the great, projectors and censtrtwtors OE . railways ? There seems little fear, in the present temper of public opinion, of our perpetrating that folly. Never, perhaps, were such great enterprises achieved with so little aid from public opinion. While the experiment was doubtful the attempt was derided by all who were indifferent, and de nounced by all who were prejudiced. Its objects were assailed by selfish interests, and its resources devoured by rapacious claims from those whose aid was re quired, or whose neutrality had to be purchased. From the first survey to the final completion of the line, difficulties of all kinds met the projectors — local hostility, corporate opposition. The public looked on ; and if it took part, it was with their op ponents ; the Legislature, the Government, afforded no effectual aid. The promoters fought their way, step by step; and were received as if, instead of pre paring for the country the greatest boon it has re ceived in modern times, they had been conspiring to deface and impoverish it. Sudh, in general (for the instances of better judgment were mere exceptions), was the temper with which railway projects were met in the first stage of their stational existence. Lamentable enough! but not it uaatural. It is the price which those must be ready to pay who attempt anything at once great and new." But surely it en titles themto enjoy their reware,: . when, in spite of , these obstacles, their energy ancLperseverance. have conquered success. Their efforts had, indeed, been successful ; the in vention was found to surpass belief, and the country saw itself enriched by benefitrwhich the most san guine of the projectors had not dared to promise. A rapidity of transit almost miraculous : a reduction of expense quite-unexampled; system and uniform ta riffs, substituted for irregularity and vulgar extortion —and with all this a safety (which only the silliest panic could dispute) hitherto unknown in public travelling. These were benefits vast, incal culable, notorious : experienced by every one every day. Under any circumstances, they surely deserved a larger reward ; a larger, if the real difficulty of the task had been troubled by need less hindrances. And how was this reward be stowed ? By an universal outcry, so loud and general, that one might have have thought it had been raised to denounce some great national enormity. The directors, the engineers, the proprietors, the managers of railways were questioned, and lectured, and worried on every side. Mortified men, who wanted courage to share in the work, while it was full of risk—men of habit, averse to new ways —men of rank and wealth, accustomed to com mand wherever they travelled, and impa tient of all regulations—superseded rivals 46 who covered their anger with pretences of public care— liberals whose wisdom lay in repeating the phrases. of " monopoly," "competition," and similar words without ideas—the weak of all classes whom the hub bub alarmed—inventors, eager to have their nos trums tried, or at least purchased—busy men anxious to regulate; idle men, wanting to be employed—all joined in the cry ; while Parliament became suddenly full of zeal, and the Government itself, stepping in to meddle where it had not learned how to mend, after standing aloof when it might have done good, seemed to sanction the general excite ment. Of this, however, a part which was but tem porary soon yielded to time :—a part, merely absurd, was easily exploded by obvious proof; counter attacks mutually defeated each other • and the main burden of what now remains, maybe referred to two prin cipal heads—the disposition of men in power to inter , fere with whatever they feel to be important ; and the common jealousy which is provoked by success. To these we shall advert hereafter. its character, by simply treating it as a "Ferrand." Ferrand and his friends are, indeed, right worthy of each other; and we rejoice to have found so succinct an expression for the style of assertion characteristic of them as of him. The Times, Post, and Herald are quite at a loss to imagine howit should be expected that their valuable friend should justify in one place what he said in another. Sufficient for the day is the statement thereof; what Mr. Ferrand said to operatives at one time, he could not expect gentlemen to call him to account for at another. There is something to be said in favour of this view of the matter; and it has at least the advantage of setting, for all future time; all assertions of Mr. Fer rand (endorsed, as the case may be, by Times, Post, or Herald) at their just value. Those who like to take such inconvertible currency may. Ha and they may fly any more such kites as they think proper; their reciprocal attestations will henceforth only make the most predestined dupes. The citation of Mr. Ferrand's authority will render . quite harmless anything else that follows ; and . the broadsides of - the Times and his other confede rates will flash a mere brutum fulmen, whenever they seek to blaze away in future with Ferrands in lieu of facts. Thank heaven, one " tall bully" at least may henceforth " lift his head and lie," as un challenged as the old original Monument—and for the same reason. We have always thought it a pity the old flagrant inscription brazens it out no longer ; and we should think it a still '.greater pity that Mr. Fer rand should henceforth be treated by any one as an accountable being. There are varieties of vermin which feed on each other ' • there are newspaper agita tions which require such pabulum as the speeches, and which nourish, in turn, the notoriety of a Ferrand. The gallant deceased was the son of the late Rear-Ad miral Brenton. He was twice married. His eldest son, Mr. Launeelot Charles Lee Brenton, who sueceeds to the baro netcy, was born in 1807. s ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS AP PLIED TO RAILWAYS. We inspected on Tuesday an electric signal telegraph, just completed by Messrs. Cook and Wheatstone, intended to be applied on the Yarmouth and Norwich Railway, which will be ope:led on the Ist of May, and consists of but one line of rails. : : ,The much greater cheapness .of construction when railways have only a single way, renders it very desirable that they should be adopted, if means of working them can be arranged, to avoid the probability of collision by meeting trains. This object, is is asserted, can be fully effected by the aid of the electric telegraph, and the experiment is about to be tried on a length of twenty miles, from Yarmouth to Norwich. The telegraphs which - were shown in opera tion yesterday, at the rooms of the Society of Arts, in the Adelphi, are intended to make signals from one station to another, to communicate the instant that a train starts after having previously ascertained that the line is clear. These communications are made with the greatest rapidity, for by turning the handle placed beneath the apparatus, the pointer on a dial-plate points to " up" or " down" train, and a bell is rung at all the stations shnnitaneously, to give warning that a signal is being transmitted. In addi tion to this simple dial-plate, there is what the inventors call " a speaking telegraph," which has two moveable hands on the dial that point to letters and figures marked thereon, and by signals previously arranged any message may be transmitted from station to station. This telegraph is in all essential particulars the same as the one that has been in operation for some years on the Great Western Railway between Paddington and Slough. In the latter telegraph, however, there is only one insulated wire required because there are no intermediate stations ; but in the Yar mouth and Norwich telegraphs, six wires will be necessary for the communications with the different stations. The action of the telegraph depends on the property of voltaic electricity to deflect a magnetic needle, and the needle is deflected to the right or to the left according to the direction in which the electric current passes. To produce this effect, voltaic batteries, constantly in action, are placed within each apparatus. The peculiar advantage of this telegraph is the rapidity with which the signals can be transmitted, it being capable of transmitting as many as forty in a minute. This application of electric telegraphs promises to be of great im portance in facilitating, and cheapening, and rendering less. dangerous locomotion on railways ; we therefore subjoin the inventor's own description of the mode of operation " To illustrate the practical working of these arrangements, under the most difficult circumstances, I will now follow an express (and therefore unexpected) train in its coursefrom Norwich to Yarmouth. A fixed time, day five minutes, be : fore the train leaves Norwich, the superintendent having first ascertained that the line is clear at the Brandon Junction, will ring the Brundall alarum. He then turns his Norwich handle to the left, which movement causes a corresponding indication by the system of Norwich pointers at all the sta tions, and thus informs the clerk at Brundall and the other stations of the line that an up-train is about to start if the line is clear. If it be clear, the Bruudall clerk (whose atten tion has been called to the alarum) announces the fact by giving the same signal upon his own compartment. The train being now ready, the Norwich superintendent gives the usual order to start, and as the engine moves forward he restores the handle of his telegraph to its upright position again. The pointers of the Norwich system then, by becom ing vertical, instantly give notice to the other stations that the up-train has left Norwich,' and is on its way to Brun - dall. This serves as a warning to the clerk at Reedham, the station beyond Brundall, to give the signal 'up-train' in his • compartment of the telegraph, t h at t h e c l er k at Brundall may be prepared to notify t o th e train upon its approach, that the line is clear to Reedham.' P resen tly the train is seen approaching Bruudall ; an d , i f not i nten ded to stop at that station, leave to pro cee d i s g i ven to the con d u ctor in the usual way, and the cle r k a t th e same time pu t s down the handle of his compartment; whereupon all the pointers of the Brundall system resume their vertical position , and an nounce to the other st a ti ons t h at the 'up-tra i n ' has passed Brundall, and is on its way to Reedham, and the same routine is repeated as long as the line is clear." STANDARD.—The unpleasant and unprofitable scene of Monday night was last night renewed in the House of Commons. Mr. Ferrand, who, it will be remembered, made a promise to examine the reports of the speeches ascribed to him, and then to disclaini or avow his charges against Sir James Graham and Mr. Hogg, declared that he had read the reports and found them faithful, and having reiterated his convic tion of the truth of his charges, walked out of the House. The scene that followed illustrates in a re markable manner the extreme impropriety and incon venience of the meddling of Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and Ward. Mr. Ferrand had made two grave charges, of the utter injustice of which we are as fully con vinced, as we are of Mr. Ferrandiii bonafide sincerity in advancing them ; but they were charges from their very nature incapable of specific proof, for who can establish in evidence the motive of a judge, or trace from the lips of witnesses the influence of a Mi nister? For this reason a cool and discreet man, which Mr.' Ferrand is not, will carefully ab stain from making such charges ; for the same rea son a zealous and bold man, which Mr. Ferrand is, will be prompt to make them and will be freely forgiven for making them ; and for all these reason:, such charges rarely do harm to any one, never to men of such established high character as the Home Secretary and the Member for Beverley.

Roebuck, Hume, and Ward suggested the policy of putting them into form as a distinct impeachment, and bringing that impeachment by a certiorari pro cess of their own into the _House of Commons. This, we say, Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and Ward had no right to do, and this we say, with all respect, the Speaker ought not to have permitted them to do. The House of Commons has work enough to do, and duties of sufficiently high importance to discharge, without looking after the conduct of its Members out of doors, except where the laws of the country have pronounced upon that conduct, or, as in the case of Mr. O'Connell's ~lander, where some direct attack is made upon the House itself in its collective character. If Members are to be followed abroad by- the censorial appa ritors of Parliament, in order to compel them to give ,an account of their reports of other Mem bers of whom they may speak, Parliament will soon have enough to do. There were but few, if any, of the monster meetings last summer at which Mr. Daniel O'Connell did not deal out tolerably coarse and minute charges against Members of both Houses of Parliament, but we do not remember that Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Hume, or Mr. Ward, ever thought it necessary to require the Member for Cork to repeat those charges in the House of Commons, and substantiate them by proofs. True, Mr. O'Connell is a chartered slanderer, and Mr. Ferrand is a man of honour ; but surely the mistakes of a man of honour are entitled to as much indulgence as the deliberate slanders of one of an opposite character ; and one constantly indulged case opposing it , is decisive against any rule. We repeat it, then, that Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and Ward had no right to bring Mr. Ferrand's Leeds speech under the notice of Parliament, and that the Speaker ought not to have permitted the introduction of the subject. When, however, the subject was intro duced, neither Mr. Ferrand, Sir J. Graham, nor Mr. Hogg had any choice as to how each ought to act. Mr. Ferrand ought to avow or to disavow the speech at Leeds ascrihed to him in the news papers. Sir James Graham and Mr. Hogg ought to • show themselves ready to vindicate their cha racters ; and thisis pretty much what has been done. Mr. Ferrand avows the speech, and being forced to answer, professes that he adheres to the opinions conveyed in it. It is, however, going too far to treat this avowal of the speech and of its opinions as a pledge to substantiate anything by evidence. Neither at Leeds, we believe, nor cer tainly in the House of Commons, did Mr. Ferrand give any such pledge. The charges, as we have intimated, are hardly of the same kind that admit of specific proof; and were they dif ferent, the House of Commons has too often ex pressly, by implication, and by an unhappy prac tice, condemned itself as a judicial tribunal for any man to look for a just judgment from it, more especially in a matter in which strong party feeling must have place. It is unjust, therefore, to treat Mr. Ferrand as one who flies from an accusation that he has pledged him self to support. As to Sir James Graham and Mr. Hogg, they have acted as might have been ex pected from their high spirit, integrity, and good sense, and from the tranquillity they main tained until Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and Ward " blew the coal." Sir James Graham lets the matter rest, and Mr. Hogg seems to have been disposed to imitate the Right Hon. Baronet, except for an insinu tion in the Times of yesterday ; this insinuation our Contemporary has very handsomely withdrawn this this morning, and therefore we trust that the business will go no further, and that Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and Ward will be disappointed. Just published, price ss. rd., TII E VERSUS LIFE.

" Why should (From li women, or even to y oung men and young women, how long they should w or k ? H ave not t h ese parties sense enough to refuse d o i ng w h at t h ey fi n d injurious to d d i s eta Ttiemetso.)grown men and them ? Ma they not leave th e i r work any day that suits them ?' ' —Leeds Mercury . "Above all, it sho u ld not be forgot that factory la bour is voluntary, not compulsory. No man, woman, or child need stay in a factory • a single day longer than he pleases."—Leeds Mercury. It is contended by the opponents of a Ten Hours' Bill, that the interference of the matter of this kind is a gross violation of the liber ties of the subject ; the advocates of corn-law repeal especially insisting that the only way of shortening the hours of labour is to destroy the necessity of such prolonged drudgery by removing those bur dens and restrictions which cripple trade, snaking labour cheap and provision dear ; while the Leeds Mercury pressingly insist that all legislative enact ment is an interference with freedom of labour, and that Parliament has nothing to do with shortening the hours of toil, inasmuch as it is voluntary on the part of the labourers, man woman, and child, and they "need not stay in a factory a single day longer than they pleas." Why was not the same objection- urged when the Government proposed to take the women and children out of the coal-pits? That, too, was an interference with the poor man's labour ; and its tendency and actual result was greatly to diminish the earnings of the colliery population. But, no ! Writers of all political parties lauded this measure as one of great humanity and unquestioned necessity. When the revolting features of colliery labour were brought to light by the Children's Employment Commission, and it was found that tender women and helpless children were daily employed underground to do the work of brutes, one general shudder of horror ran throughout society. The thing was too bar barous to be tolerated in a Christian country; the* practice of female and infant slavery in mines was universally condemned; and men of all parties de manded the interference of the Legislature. They. did not see in the question one merely of vested inte— rests, of capital sunk, of profits suspended,—but of national humanity, of benevolence and philan thropy. The Legislature, thus invoked froni all sides, stepped in and put an end to the practice at once, and let us hope, for ever. Now, the very same principle is involved in the question of factory labour. Society in this country has established the principle of interference, in the case, of women and minors. It regards them as unable to protect and defend themselves ; and where it finds them over worked or oppressed, it steps in and interferes. This has already been done in the Factory Bills repeatedly passed by the Legislature. What is now sought for is, that ten hours, and not twelve, should be the standard period of labour in factories, for women and children. But this would be " an interference with the rights of labour, and a violation of the liberties of the subject!" Alas! how •slender are the rights of labour I How worthless are the liberties of the subject; What is the " liberty" of the English labourer ? To starve or to toil! He has no alternative. He has no liberty. He has no proprietorship in the State. He is cut off from all rights and privileges. He is taxed without his consent ; his earnings are taken from him by a class who are altogether irrespOnsible to him ; and thus lie is, to all intents and purposes, a slave. He has no alternative but to toil or famish. He yokes , himself, body and soul, to the iron machine— INCENDIARY FIRES IN STAFFORDSHIRE.—Two in cendiary fires, supposed to have been the work of strangers, have occurred in this county during the present week. As constables Price and Pike; of the county constabulary, were on patrol between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning last, they discovered a fire in the rick-yard of Mr. Henry thitaley, of Eaton-house, near the Spread Eagle, in the pa rish of Penkridge. They immediately gave the alarm to the inmates of the house, and with the assistance of Mr. Critchley and his sons, succeeded in drawing a burning waggon, which was covered with straw, into an adjoining field, and in extinguishing the flames before they extended further. Had not the police been providentially passing at the moment, the rick-yard, contanmg several stacks of corn and hay, and a barn with a thrashing machine, &c., must have been totally consumed. ..On the following morning a lucifer match and part of a match-box were found near the place where the waggon had stood. Mr. Critchley considers that the greatest credit is due to the police for their untiring exertions during the progress of the flames.—The other case occurred within a mile of Wolverhampton, on Monday even ing. A rick of hay, the property of Mr. Jeukinson, butcher, of Wolverhampton, and situate on the Cannock-road, was discovered on fire about eight o'clock on that evening. Mr. Marshall, -of Grimstone-cottage, near the place, immedi ately dispatched a man on horseback to town for assist ance, but although he rode at a most furious rate through the town, it was some time before it was rendered , he having passed the place where the engines are kept, and several of the constabulary reside, without raising the cry of fire. The necessary information having at length been given at the police-station, Colonel Hogg, with the constabulary and town engine, proceeded to the burning mass, where were also the Birmingham and county engines, by whose assistance the fire was shortly extinguished. From the fact of two suspicious characters having been seen loiter ing about the place the whole day, no doubt existed of the I fire having been the work of a n incendiary, the parties having been seen near the place after Mr. Marshall had sent forward his messenger. The police were immediately on the alert, and after a night of most active exertion, were success ful in apprehending a man, eighteen years of age, who gave his name as John Richardson, a native of Nottingham, a potter by trade, and who has confessed to his havin g set the rick on fire. When brought to the station by police-officer Dickenson, there were found upon him some lucifer matches, with some of which lie stated he set the rick on fire, and also . that his reason for doing so was, that "he had nothing to eat, or nothing to take to." He was brought up for exami nation on Wednesday, but was remanded until Friday, when a companion of his, Joseph Clough, who had in the mean time been apprehended at Birmingham by the police, was examined with him. They did not deny the charge, and were committed for trial at the next assizes. • INSTITUTION FOR THE PROTECTION AND EMPLOY MENT OF THE DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN IN LONDON.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —COURT BEAUTIES.--Much has been said and written relative to the assemblage of female beauty celebrated under this title. The portraits by Sir Peter Lely and Vandyke, in Windsor Castle, are doubtless faithful representations of those fair and suc cessful aspirants to a notoriety which endures to the present day. But how gratifying are the conclusion's we are enabled to arrive at in favour of our own times ! The polished observances of modern society seem to have bad their effects in subduing the bold expression of eyes akin to those that beamed upon the Restoration.

PARISIAN THEATRICALS.—The receipts of the the area of Paris in 1843 amounted to 8,170,000 f. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. _ . TIMES.—The premium - on gold at Paria is 13i pet mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 49 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 62k, it follows that gold is 0.54 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4351 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 104 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 101, it follows that there is no difference in the price of gold in London and Hamburgh. ST. GEORGE'S DAY.—Tuesday was the anniver sary of the death of the patrun Saint of England. The order which is now called the Order of the Garter, was until King Edward the Sixth's time, called the Order of St. George. The figure of St. George on horseback, represented as holding a spear and killing the dragon, was first worn by the Knights of the Garter on the institution of that order in 1349-50. It is suspended by a blue ribbon across the body from the shoulder. This p a t ron sa i nt o f E ng l an d was a t r ib u ne in the reign of Diocletian, and being a man of great courage was a favourite with the Emperor but St. George complaining to the Emperor of his sever i t i es towards the Ch r i st i ans, an d, arguing in their defence, he was put into prison and be • headed, April 23, A.D. 290.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. „, VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT -I,Ort! , (Before Vice-Chaniellor Sir JAmos WIGRAM.) KNIGHT V. MUNDAY. This case came before the Court yesterday. By the bill a title was claimed to certain estates in the county of Kent, of considerable value, which were alleged to have been de vised'to one Thomas Broadnox ,May, in 1726. The party under whom the defendant derived his title was appointed guardian tp the devisee, and the latter was stated to be an infant. It was alleged in the bill that the, guardian caused the -infant to be kept in a tower, which tower, had been erected in the park, where he remained, in total ignorance of his title to the estate; that - he afterwards lived in a neigh bouring village, and that small sums were given to him from time to time by the party who had been appointed his guar dian, his right to the property in question being still con eealed from him. It was further alleged that Thomas Broad 'nox May lived to the age of ninety-nine, and that he died in 1825, without discovering his rights; that he left one daughter, who was the late wife of the plaintiff. The plaintiff alleged that he was entitled to the estates, as tenant by courtesy, and that the defendant had purchaged the estate in 1797, from the widow of the guardian, for the sum of 40,000/. Mr. ROMILLY appeared as counsel for the defendant, in support. of a demurrer, founded on the statute of limitations. Mr. BAILY followed, on the same side. Mr. COOPER supported the prayer of the bill, and had not concluded his address at the rising of the Court, yesterday. The _Learned Counsel having finished his argument this Mr. STEVENSON followed, on the same side. Mr. ROMILLY having replied, in support of the demurrer, l it was ordered that the case should stand for judgment. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 24. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN r. TIIS TC. WN COUNCIL OF GLOUCESTER 31ANDAMUS. _ _ _ In this a case a rule nisi had been obtained for a mandamus calling upon the Town Council of Gloucester to pay out of the borough rate certain fees due to the clerk of the Magistrates, on the summary conviction of persons who were brought be fore the Magistrates of that borough charged with disorderly condut, but who were unable to pay the fees to which the various officers of the Court were entitled on their convic tion. The case, which turned entirely on the construction to be placed on certain sections of the Municipal Corporation Act, was argued this morning. The COURT gave judgment that the mandamus must go, inasmuch as it appeared that the expences incurred in ap prehending and convicting disorderly persons, were expenses incurred in carrying the provisions of the Act into execution. —Rule absolute. BAIL COURT, April 24. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) HATTON V MACREADY. This was an action brought by the chorus-master at Drury lane Theatre to recover from the defendent, the late lessee of that establishment, certain arrears of salary alleged to be due to him. It was tried before the Sheriff of London, and a ver dict was returned for the defendant. On a subse• quent day Mr. Charnock moved this Court to set aside the verdict, on the ground that the action must be considered to have been brought to recover that which was in the nature of unliquidated damages,. and, there fore, it had been improper to bring it before the Sheriffs' Court. The Learned Counsel admitted that the case had been taken into that Court by the plaintiff himself. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, on that occasion, took time to consider his decision. This morning his Lordship, after going through the pleadings, stated that the cause could not be considered in the light of an action for unliquidated damages, and, therefore, refused the rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 24. (Sittings in Banco.) This being special paper day, the Court was engaged in hearing law arguments on technical points. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, April 24. (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron GURNEY and a Common Jury.) SCALES V. HALL. _ This action was brought to recover the balance of an account originally amounting to 37/. 2s. 5d., 25/. of which had been paid into Court, leaving a balance of 121.25. sd. The de fendant, who is a miller at Kilburn, employed the plaintiff, a slater, carrying on business at the Regent's-park basin, to slate some houses at Kilburn, thus incurring a debt amount ing to the above-Mentioned sum. The defendant, by his counsel, contended that the sum paid into Court was a fair remuneration, on the ground that the slates were placed on " battens" instead of boarding, and that the water came through the roof. From evidence on the part of the plaintiff it appeared that the slates were placed on " battens,' at the express request of the defendant, whose duty it was to have provided a proper foundation for the slates. It was also proved that the sum charged by the plaintiff was fair and reasonable, and that the work was performed in a workman like manner and to the satisfaction of the defendant. Wit• nesses were then called by the defendant's counsel, who stated that the " battens" were prepared by them at the desire of the slaters, and not by the defendant's directions; and that boarding was also provided, but that the men sent to perform the work preferred the former; in fact, the under-roofing being *pared and superintended by the plaintiff's workmen. The Learned Judge having summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 51. COURT OF REVIEW, April 24. (Before Sir J. K. L. BRUCE.) His Honour sat in the Sessions-house this morning as Chief Judge in Bankruptcy, in which capacity he heard seve ral motions ; but many of ? them related only to costs, and none were of public importance. POLICE INTELLIGENC E. (YESTERDAY.) WORSHIP-STREET. John Hickey, a process-server, employed at the Palace Court, Westminster, was charged before Mr. Broughton with having committed a violent assault upon Miss Jane Perry, the daughter of a respectable tradesman re siding in Brunswick-street, Hackney-road, under the following aggravated circumstances:— The complainant stated that between nine and ten o'clock on the preceding night the prisoner knocked at her father's door, and on its being opened by witness he stated that he was an officer of the Palace Court, and had a writ to serve upon John Perry, whom he wished to see immediately for that purpose. She requested the prisoner to call next morning, as her father had retired to rest, at the same time intimatieg her belief that he was mistaken in the person, as her father's name was William and not John; but the prisoner insisted that he was right, and after using very gross and insulting language towards her, he seized her by the shoulder and forced her back to the end of the passage, where he struck her a violent blow on the face. On hearing the disturbance, her father instantly hastened down stairs in his night clothes, and, on asking the prisoner what he wanted, the latter said that he had a writ to serve upon him, and that he knew him to be a common thief and swindler. Although re peatedly urged to produce the writ, the prisoner re fused to do so, and he was ordered to leave the house, which he at length did, but, on getting outside, he re newed his violent language, and collected a large crowd, whom he addressed in a loud tone of voice, and, point ing to the house, explained that it was inhabited by a nest of swindlers. The prisoner persevered in his out rageous conduct until the arrival of a policeman, when he was given into custody. The father of the last witness corroborated the greater part of her evidence, and said he was wholly at a loss to account for the extraordinary behaviour of the prisoner, as he did not owe a single fartthing to any one, and had resided for 30 years in the neighbourhood. His daughter-in-law was lying dangerously ill at the time, and her complaint was so greatly aggravated by the prisoner's violence that he did not expect to find her alive when he returped home from the Court. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he had been instructed to make some inquiries preparatory to issuing a writ against a person named John Perry, whom he supposed to be the complainant, but on dis covering his error he immediately withdrew, and posi tively denied having cemmitted any assault on the oc cason. _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. BROUGHTON ordered him to pay a fine of 505., or to be imprisoned for two months in the House of Cor rection. CLERKEN WELL. John Fuller was charged with stealing 21. ss. 6d. from Edward Gibbins, a patient in the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-road. The prisoner, who was suffering from a severe attack of erysipelas, was likewise a patient in the hospital. On the 23d ult., a day or two after poor Gibbins had bis leg amputated, he asked the prisoner to take some money for him to the nurse ; he did so, but in the course of the same night, stole Gibbins's trowsers from beneath his pillow, and having pocketed the money, the whole of the prosecutor's earthly treasure, decamped, but was ar rested in St. Giles's a few days after.—Committed. Assaults on the police have been of late exceedingly frequent in the districts over which this Court has 'tie - di ction , and some of them of a very savage and " unpro voked character.

Mary Anne Harri s was cha rged with violently assault- — Great excitement was produced in St. Giles's on the previous evening by a report that Harris had cut Frank lin's throat, and an immense mob followed the prisoner from the George -street station-house to the Court this morning, hissing and shouting all the way. The pro secutrix was conveyed from the hospital, where she had been all night, to the Court, and she presented a truly frightful spectacle. Her head was bandaged, and her face was so livid and swollen that hardly a feature was discernible. The parties live in Church-street, and quarrelled about some trifling matter, when Harris seized an iron shovel, and struck the unfortunate woman on the head with it until she was insensible, inflicting several severe wounds. The iron shovel was exhibited, and had spots of blood on it. The prisoner was discharged because Franklin declined to prosecute. • UNION-HALL.

The application, however, was resisted by Mr. Watson, a jeweller of Queen-street, Ch ' eapside, who stated that on the 12th of February last, two respectably-dressed men entered his shop and succeeded in stealing 4 gold chains, and that the gold chain (now pr o d uced) and claimed by Williams, was one of the chains of which he was robbed on the day in ques tion. "Williams' solicitor then applied to have the diamond pin and the gold eve- g l ass g i ven up to his client as there was nap .c.laimant of those articl es . • Mr. CorrixonAm said, that although Mr. Watson could nmt identify Williams as being one of the parties who robbed of the gold chains, yet as one of the stolen articles was foun.d in the possession of the latter person, he (the Magis 'e) could therefore make no order to give up any of them.

The Mar chioness of Londonderry, whO'Els just returned from Paris, with the Countess of 3ersey and Viscountess Palmeistog,, are the only ladies who can grant tickets for that night"; and,' it is needless to remark the influence possessed' by tffem will •••••,, alone insure. a brilliant essemplage of .the aristocracy. The applications for the entree are exceedingly numerous. As the Queen Dowager's evening party is announced to be " early" many of the distinguished personages after paying their respects to that illustrious ornament to our Royal Family, will make Almack's their rendezvous afterwards, more par ticularly as there is no other private entertainment to inter fere with the ball. - HER MAJESTY'S FORTY-FOURTH REGIMENT OF FOOT.-CifxrirAm, APRIL 23.—Yesterday afternoon very considerable interest prevailed in Chatham Garrison, owing to the arrival of a detachment of this regiment, consisting of one sergeant-major, one sergeant, and eighteen privates,. under the command of Captain William Evans, being the re leased prisoners who had been taken at Caubul in January, 1841, by the Atighanistans during the retreat of the Briti s h forces in the late war. These troops embarked at Calcutta on the 4th of December last, on board the ship Duke Cornwall, Captain Eyles, and after a very favourable pas sage of one hundred and thirty-eight days, they arrived off Gravesend on Saturday afternoon, the 20th instant. The whole of the men are wounded, two of them have balls in their bodies, causing them at intervals very considerable pain ; two women and one child, with a private of the 49th and one private of the 3rd Dragoon Guards, came with them. Th o 44th lost one man the second day fter they had sailed, who died of cholera. Dr. Flemming, from one of the native corps, had the above soldiers in charge. These troops were under the command of Major-General G. Pollock, C. 8., and were released in the month of September, 1842, and miracu lously escaped being again taken prisoners during their march through the Arghunder Pass, by the enemy, by the fortunate advance of our troops, which had been expressly forwarded for their safety by Major -General Sir R. Sale, The men state, no one can imagine the hardships they have endured during the last part of their military career. The majority of these soldiers have been in India upwards of eight teen years. They have joined the Military Invalid DepBt a t Brompton, and will shortly undergo medick inspection, pre vious to their being pensioned. TRAFALGAR- SQUARE.—The whole of the terrace walks within the area of the above promenade, will be finally completed by Friday next, and this square will be opened to the public on the Monday following. The paving laid down in the above attractive quadrangle has been the work of the Bastenne Bitumen Company. The former has been within the last few days inspected by several influential parties, con sisting of the nobility and gentry, who have expressed their highest approbation of it. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT IN DRIVING.—On Tuesday considerable curiosity and wonder was exhibited by crowds of persons assembled in the principal streets of the IVest-end and the metropolis, to witness the performance of Mr. Emedy, the master of the horse to Mr. Batty's establishment, " Astley's Amphitheatre," in driving twenty highly. trained horses—a feat never before attempted—attached to a four wheel carriage containing twenty persons, at full speed through the streets of the metropolis, without the slightest apparent difficulty, and without a single accident occurring —a feat which must be considered extraordinary from the crowded state of the streets with vehicles of all descriptions at this time of the year. Mr. Emedy was accompanied by six beautiful dwarf ponies, drawing a four-wheel carriage, bdearhu-ettifubly and ex Smith,rraofrodui extraordinary a ry ponies sv bdrivenwhite mules, l b e y s ,M,ri.ri3vfeans by o out riders, Stickney, and two perambulating vans and a number of , studr i der s o , f rr consistin g ine d in Theatre, through the York-road, Stamford-street, ho rses.all orrhfoerrtyoultieorsresak,enforatisngfrollmlntr.Aßsaat,_itetiy,ss along the Blackfriars and Westminster i r i oad Co s aspur-street, minstet-bridge, past Whitehall, therotusg.

Inquiry was made at the Garden of Plants, but no eagle was missing there, and the only conjecture left is, that • the bird had escaped from some private menagerie in the environs of Paris. ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The first flower show, for the present season ' of this So ciety, was held on Tuesday at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, and was very fully attended The show, of course, con sisted for the most part of green-house plants, which were in high perfection. Many very beautiful specimens of auriculas, heartsease, hyacinths, rhododendrums, campa nolas, and heaths, were exhibited; and it was generally considered to be the best show, for the time of year, that this Society had produced. The Royal Adelaide Cup, for the best collection of miscellaneous plants, was awarded to Mr. Curtis ; the prize of the gold medal, for the next best collection of miscellaneous plants, was bestowed on Mr. Bruce. Mr. Dickson's prize of a silver cup to amateurs, for thd best four auriculis, was awarded to Mr. Lidgard. The other principal prizes were bestowed on Messrs. Schroder, band of A Atlee, Dickson (two prizes), Holies , and Cox. wind instruments attended in the aftern oon, and played many popular airs, which added materially to the animation of the scene.
