Etererting to the question 'of Parliamentary and Municipal Re farm, he would assert thiAt the efforts of the Tories to arrest its progress had been °Ale of the main accelerating causes. The Hon. Member sat down amidst loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN next gave (calling upon Mr. Hadfield to respond to the toast) " Civil and religious liberty all over the world." Mr. HADFIELD rose amidst loud cheers. He spoke at great length of the abuses of the Irish Church system—abuses continued solely for the support of an oligarchy amounting to less than one,-tenth of the whole population of Ireland. Let them do justice to Ireland, and the cry of the repeal of she ' union wauld be heard no more. The same cry was as st- 4 -emg in Scotland a century ago as it had been in Ireland, within the irst few years. And how was it put an end to. Why, by granting liberty of conscience to Scotland, ared conceding her political rights.—( Hear, hear.) Let this oe done in Ire land, or let them beware of the consequence;, After paying a tribute to Mr. Potter, Mr. Hadfield co7icluded by proposing —tt The newly elected burgesses of ;.he borough of Wigan, with thanks to them for the indepc'adent manner in which they have exercised their functions." Mr. BANKS acknowledged the toast. He concluded by giving—" The health of - Robert Segar, Esq., of Preston, the Recorder elect of this lvarough." Mr. SEGAR returned thanks, and concluded by proposing— .' The newly-elected Liberal Council ; and may they con tinue to discharge their duties openly, fearlessly, and inde pendently." Mr. CO!JPER returned thanks. The c.:HAIRMAN, after a complimentary allusion to the borough of Liverpool, gave—" The Liberal electors of Li verpool." Mr. RYLEY responded to the toa.at. The CHAIRMAN next gave—" Ireland—sympathy for her wrongs, and a determination to redress them." Mr. HUNTER returned thanks. The health of the Vice-Presidents having been proposed and cordially pledged, Mr. PART rose tr. ) acknowledge the compliment. He said that the result of 'the municipal elections, independent of the local benefit thereby conferred upon the respective boroughs, would show that the feelings of the people at large were in unison with that of the Government, and that the progress of Reform, was not to be arrested. Mr. Cot:u next proposed—" The better health of Mr. T. Potter," a toast which was warmly responded to. Mr. R. POTTER returned thanks for his brother, who, though desiring much to be present, to share in their triumph, was prevented by illness from so doing. Mr. PART gave—" The Land o'Cakes," and complimented the Scotchmen resident in Wigan upon the noble part they had taken in the late struggles for Reform. Mr. PECAN and Mr. HIsLOP severally returned thanks. Mr. SEGAR then proposed the health of the magistrates elect of the borough, and took occasion to speak of the im portance of Reform in the county magistracy. The appoint ment of the borough magistracy was comparatively unimpor tant, when the county magistrates had the contruol—the ir responsible controul.—of a large fund, the county rate. He also wished that the absolute appointment of the borough ma gistracy should be left with the people. It was not enough for him that the Government promised to attend to the no mination of the people ; the people ought to be able to say, " Such and such shall be appointed."—(Hear.) He hoped Mr. Potter would not forget these two matters when the Le gislature came to reform. the reformed corporations ; and if no other Member would venture to make a motion on the sub ject, he hoped Mr. Potter would. Mr. POTTER could assure the Learned Gentleman that when the Council had done him the honour of reading to him the list of borougli magistrates whom they had nominated, to forward to Lord. John Russell, he accompanied the list with what some Lords might think an impertinent letter, so strongly was it wordr,d, on the necessity of appointing the gentlemen named in the list, and also of appointing them soon. The Learned Gentleman had adverted to the county magistrates in a very proper manner. He was no doubt aware that the Lords-Lieutenant had hitherto had the nomination of the magistrates. But he (Mr. Potter) rejoiced to think that the present Ministry had begun to act in defiance of the re commendation of the Lords-Lieutenant. He agreed with Mr. Segar, that the appointment of the magistrates ought not to be left with either this or that Government, but that we should revert to the ancient practice of the Constitution, and elect our own magistrates.—( Hear.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and then left the chair, accompanied by the main part of the company, a little before If o'clock. MR. WALLACE OF KELLY, M.P. PUFJLIC MEETING AT KILMARNOCK. Mr. I ;i 7 allace of Kelly visited Kilmarnock on Monday last, and P.adressed a Public Meeting in the Cameronian Church there, which contained an audience of from 1,000 to 1,500 persons. On the doors being thrown open, it was soon crowded in every corner. The Chair was taken by Bailie Craig. Bailie CRAIG congratulated the meeting on the opportunity presented to them of doing honour to one of Scotland's glo rious patriots, worthy of an ancestor so illustrious as the re nowned Sir William Wallace, who fought for the rights, the liberties and the independence of the people of his day, and who died in the cause. He was satisfied that all eulogium was unnecessary in introducing to the intelligent Reformers of Kilmarnock, the celebrated—the renowned—the patriotic and the independent representative of Greenock generally—but particularly the friend and representative of the working classes. Two petitions were then read—tile first praying for the ap pointment of Commissioners to investigate the laws of Scot land generally, with the view of securing to the lieges speedy, cheap, and equal justice ; the second praying that the laws re lating to the holding and transference of property in Scotland may be purged of many abuses they at present exhibit. Mr. WALLACE then came forward, and was received with rapturous applause. The chief aims he had in view were, to render property secure by cheap and simple laws ; and t o make labour as productive to the industrious as they had a right to expect it to be. The Hon. Member then referred to the reform demanded in the laws of Scotland, and described in detail the various courts of judicature, com me nti ng u p on eac h as he reviewed its constitution, pointing out defects, and indi cating the remedy, in an address of which we arc unable, owing to the length to which it necessarily extended, to furnish more than the briefest outline. Mr. Wallace afterwards re marked with much force on the injustice of not trying civil as well as criminal cases by jury in Scotland, and thus placing the safety of property, and that of life, limbs, and liberty, on the same footing. At the conclusion of an address, Mr. Brown read a petition to Parliament for the total abolition of all taxes on knowledge, of which he moved the adoption by the meeting. Mr. WALLACE again addressed the meeting in support of the petition. He expressed himself in favour of the total and un conditional repeal of the taxes on knowledge, particularly of tho Stamp tax on newspapers, and against the substitution of any postage rate. The Hon. Gentleman, after a masterly re capitulation of those arguments in favour of a repeal of the duty on newspapers, which we have so frequently urged on our readers' attention, addressed the meeting on the subject of Post-office Reform. He then delivered his sentiments on al most every question of political importance. Three petitions were afterwards carried unanimously, and, on the motion of Mr. Brown, ordered to be transmitted to Dr. Bowring for presentation to Parliament. Written addresses, adopted at public meetings, well conceived, and highly lauda tory of Mr. Wallace's conduct, were then read. Mr. 'WALLACE acknowledged the honour done him ; shortly after which the meeting separated. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.

Th SUN, -- LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 18:56, inch by inch, with the TorillOand then, when they have gained possession of it, and put the enemy to the rout, allow them no quarter. The PALAFOX principle, of " war to the knife," must be their motto, and their rule of action. market price of the one per cent. reduction. Such a measure, though for a time it would shake public con fidence in the faith of the Government, would operate a thousand times less disastrously on the interests of individuals, than a gambling speculation resting on the basis of a general lottery. It is absurd for the Go vernment to allege that it has no money to pay pff the principal of the Five per Cents., and yet to assert that a reduction in the interest must take place in opposi tion to the will of the holders, because such interest is exorbitant. If money can be had in France at 22, or 3 per cent., as M. HUMANN affirms, what is there to prevent the Government from raising a loan of forty millions, and so ridding the country of the Five per Cents. by one act ? The loan so raised would pay off the present creditors without having recourse to paltry, equivocating, and dishonest subterfuges. The holders of Five per Cent. Stock will then be deprived of all right to complain; for the Government did not bargain to hold their money longer than while it might be without the ability or the will to refund it. It is doubtful what part the Government will take should the motion for reducing the Rentes be carried by the Chamber. M. THIERS has already refused all information on the subject, contenting himself with stating that the course Ministers would adopt must depend upon circumstances—or, in other words, upon the supreme pleasure of Louis PHILIPPE. The KING is personally opposed to the reduction, fearing that it will render him unpopular with the shop keepers and the National Guards, the majority of whom are shareholders in the Five per Cents. There is no news of any importance from the north of Spain in these Journals. We are still without authentic information as to the engagements between the Christinos and the Carlists on the 16th and 17th ult. From all that we have yet learned the success on either side was of little consequence. Preparations are on foot for more important movements, to be com menced as soon as the state of the weather, which is dreadfully severe in the Biscayan provinces, will admit of them. PARIS, JAN. 30.—A letter from Brest, of the 26th, says— " The Jupiter, of the line, and the Terpsichore frigate, are preparing to put to sea, and it is thought they will sail to morrow or the next day, if the wind continues favourable. The Jena will go into the road on the 30th. It is thought that this ship, the Santi Petri, and the Hermione, forming the second division, will sail in February." We read in a letter from Valparaiso, of the 29th October, that the Flora frigate, and Ariane and Thisbe corvettes were at Peru, where they were detained by political events. It was thought there would shortly be a decisive combat between the two parties which have involved the country in the horrors of civil war. M. Jean Koechlen, the head of the numerous and respect able family of that name at Muhlhausen, died suddenly, in an apoplectic fit, on tho 23d January, at the age of ninety years. The funeral was on the 25th, which was a day of universal mourning for the town of Muhlhausen. The English Journals have announced that Mr. Cutlar Fer gusson had purchased, during his last visit to France, the house which Napoleon occupied while he was engaged in his preparations for an expedition into England. These Journals have probably been led into a mistake. If we remember rightly, the Emperor, while at the camp of Boulogne, did not reside in the town. He resided at the Chateau du Pont de Brigue, on the road to Montreuil, or came to pass a few hours in his barrack, erected near the spot where the monument has since been erected, and from which he could see the open sea. The two great prisons in the Rue de la Roquette are now being furnished, to be shortly inhabited. One of them, as our readers know, is intended to receive great criminals, in stead of the Bicetre. The prison is surrounded by three walls thirty feet high ; the principal door, which is of iron, weighs 10,000 pounds. The other, which is opposite, is to serve as a house of correction ; it has five court yards, with fountains in the centre of them ; it contains above 500 chambers. Workshops are going to be fitted up, for the purpose of teach ing the young prisoners some mechanical profession, by which they may gain a livelihood ; there will be a complete course of education.— Courrier Francais, Jan. 31. A brief report of the proceedings at a public meet- 1 ing, for the abolition of the Stamp Duty on newspa pers, held yesterday evening at the Hall of Science, New-road, and presided over by Mr. WAKLEY, M.P. for Finsbury, will be found in another column. We notice the proceedings which took place at this meet ing for two reasons—first, to apprize Ministers of the feeling which prevails with respect to the abolition or reduction of this impost; and, in the next place, to make a remark or two on the attempt which was made by one of the leading orators on this occasion, to de fend the conduct of Mr. BULWER, in declining to press his motion to a division on this important ques tion, when it came regularly before Parliament in the course of the last session. There are few public men for whom we have a greater respect than Mr. Bur, WER. We set a high value upon his Parlia mentary services ; but, at the same time, we can not acquit him of having acted very culpably, in withdrawing his motion on the subject of the Newspaper Stamp Duty. Mr. BULWER and his advocates on this occasion, talk about the danger of embarrassing Ministers. Of course Ministers must feel exceedingly grateful for such forbearance — but at the same time we are yet to learn in what way would Ministers have been embarrassed ? Will Mr. BULWER pretend to have it believed that Sir ROBERT PEEL would have headed the majority of the House of Commons in the event of his motion having been put to the vote ? Does the Hou. Gentleman himself suppose that the Tories would undertake to carry out such a vote of the House of Commons ? And if they would not—as most assuredly they would not—whence would arise the embarrassment so much dreaded by Ministers, and of which Mr. BULWER appeared so apprehensive ? If it is meant that the embarrassments would be purely financial, the whole affair is most absurd—alike ridiculous as regards the abilities of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, and the practical common-sense of Mr. BULWER. A deficit in the revenue of this country to the amount raised by means of the newspaper tax, could embarrass no Minister capable of wielding a tithe of her vast untried resources. Had Mr. BULWER discharged his duty to the country, on that occasion, he would have placed upon record the vote of the House of Com mons in favour of a reduction of the Stamp-duty, and thus have secured for the cause of suffering jus tice a moral triumph. Mr. HUNIE himself, then a supporter and friend of Ministers, protested against the withdrawal of the motion, and assured the House that had he been aware that Mr. BULWER medi tated not pressing it to a division, he would have de clined to second it. With respect to the Newspaper Stamp-duty, we may take upon ourselves to state, that if not wholly abolished in the course of the next Session, it will be very much reduced. The Government cannot longer resist the voice of the country. The whole of the Paris papers of Friday, Satur day, and Sunday, have been received. Those of Sun day are filled with reports of the trial of the monster FIESCHI, the details of which, during the first two sittings, will be found in another part of The Sun. The trial of this extraordinary criminal has excited, comparatively speaking, no public interest in Paris. But the proceedings are so uncommon in every re spect—as regards the crime, the criminal, and the Court—that we have not abridged them very conside rably, knowing that they will be sought after with avi dity by readers of every class. Ministers are not likely soon to get rid of the em barrassments in which the question of the reduction of the Five per Cents. has involved in them. On Thurs day the nine Committees of the Chamber authorised the reading of the following plan for the reduction of the Rentes, drawn up by M. A. GourN. The Chiefs of the Cabinet did not oppose the reading, which was fixed for Monday's sitting :- Ist Article.—The Minister of Finance is authorised, from the date of the promulgation of the present law, to give to the holders of the 5 per Cent. Stock, in exchange for their pre sent inscription, Rentes of 4 per Cent., or Rentes of 3 per Cent., which shall be immediately inscribed on the great book of the public debt. 2d Article.—The holders of Five per Cent. Stock shall only have the right to make this exchange during the period of three months, to be dated by a day fixed by a Royal Ordinance, to be made in virtue of the present law. This exchange of Stock can only be made on the following conditions : —The holder of Five per Cent. Stock will receive for each five francs of interest either an inscription of four francs of Rente, to which shall be annexed six annuities on one head, not bearing interest, and payable from year to year, to be counted from the second six months which shall have followed the conversion of the Stock ; or else an inscription of three francs of Rente, to which shall be annexed thirteen annuities of two francs of Rente, also not bearing interest, and payable from year to year, as before-mentioned. 3d Article. After the expiration of the delay of three months, prescribed by 2d article, the Minister of Finance shall divide the Five per Cent. Rentes not converted into francs, the reimbursing of which shall be decided on by drawings of a lottery. He shall be authorised to reimburse all who have not converted their Rentes, at par, i. e. 100 francs for each 5 francs of Rente ; and neNt, to reimburse them by degrees as he shall realise the capital placed at his disposition for this pur pose, as well as out of the funds which shall be at liberty out of the revenue of the Sinking Fund, in conformity with the law of the 28th of June, 1833, and also out of the capital arising from the negotiation of new Rentes. Article 4. The Minister of Finances cannot negotiate Rentes, the produce of which is to be employed in the reim bursement of Five per Cents., except these negotiations shall be made publicly, and in Four or Five per Cent Stock, and at such a price as will give to the Treasury at any rate an advan tage equal to that presented by the conditions of the conven tions established by Article 2. Article 5. All the Five per Cent. Rentes which may be converted or reimbursed by virtue of the present law, shall be struck out of the great book. The diminution of the expense which will be effected by this operation shall be immediately calculated in favour of the budget ; nevertheless, one-half of the sum produced by this diminution shall be every year applied as a sinking fund for the annuities which shall have been created. The mode of paying off these annuities shall be de termined by a Royal ordinance. Article 6. The capital devoted at present to the Sinking Fund of the Five per Cents, shall be divided between the Four per Cents, and the Three per Cents, proportionately, and according to the importance of the conversions effected in one or the other of these Stocks. It appears by the letter from our City Correspo dent that LAKEMAN has been taken at Boulogne. Perhaps we do not rightly understand this plan ; but according to our comprehension of its provisions, it differs very little from that of the witling who sought to enrich himself by emptying the contents of one pocket into another. If the compromise here held out be worth aught to the creditor, it is worth quite as muc h to th e Government in the existing state of things. But why seek to puzzle and mislead the simple creditor? The object of these nostrum-mongers is to reduce the interest on a certain amount of public debt. The reasons assigned for having recourse to this mea sure are two :—first, that the interest is too high— higher than could be obtained for money in the regular market ; and secondly, that the country is not in a condition to enable the Government to pay off the in terest from quarter to quarter. So far all is intelligible enough. The interest of the Five per Cents. is to be reduced, because justice and necessity alike demand such a reduction. And now comes the question of how the actual reduction ought to be effected. A bold and able financier would have recourse to no un derhand schemes. He would at once declare, that after such a date the interest on such and such portions of the publi c debt woul d be reduced one per cent. In the mean ti me , he would m pr i o g v h i t de pre f f u e n r d t s hei f r or money to paying off such cre di tors as the retaining the reduced stock ; which after all would only amount to the PRICES OF STOCKS THIS B a nk Stock 215,4 1 3 per Cent.

A rumour is pretty generally abroad, that serious differences have arisen among the different sections of the Tories ; and that, notwithstanding the emergency of the case, they cannot be brought to act as a compact confederated phalanx. Whether this report be true or false, we know not—for we are by no means deeply versed in Conservative mysteries—but granting that it be true, still the Reformers must not be induced by it to relax in their exertions for an instant. They must act as if the Tories were just as united as ever—for thus only can they satisfy the expectations of their countrymen, who are looking forward to the 4th with an intensity of interest almost, we may say, without parallel. After all, however, it is not impossible that the Conservatives may themselves have spread about the report of their disunion, for the pur pose of throwing the Reform Members off their guard. They are adepts at all sorts of chicanery ; and after the many proofs we have seen during the recess, of their ingenuity in inventing, and their zeal in dis seminating falsehoods, we can believe them capable of any act of trickery, provided it appear to tend to their own advantage. Doubtless Sir R. PEEL may not be in the best odour with the more violent section of the Tories ; nevertheless he cannot possibly be so distaste ful to them as are the Whig and Radical Reformers. Whatever, therefore, may be alleged to the contrary, they will be pretty sure to sink all their differences with him, in order to avail themselves of his powerful aid in repulsing the common enemy. It is in this light that we would have the Reform Members view the question. We would have them consider the Con servatives as still powerful ; still banded together in the bonds of the most astringent confederacy ; and that, consequently, it is indispensably necessary that they muster all their forces, exert their every faculty, to repulse so united a a body. They have had every encouragement to do so. Through out the recess they have been everywhere received by their constituents with the most unbounded marks of confidence, and, everywhere the language ad dressed to them has been the same. What were the allusions that were most cheered in Mr. POTTER'S late manly, straightforwa r d speech to the electors of Wigan ? Precisely those which referred to his hostility to the Tories, and his determination to push matters to extremity against them at every fitting opportunity. This spirit is not confined to Wigan alone, but extends generally throughout the kingdom ; and becomes the more resolute, the nearer we approach to the opening of Parliament.

BERLIN, JAN. 20.—We expect that a law will shortly be promulgated against the dealing in foreign stocks : if any law is loudly called for, it is this ; for it cannot be denied that the imprudent purchase of foreign stock, especially the time bar gains, have certainly ruined many individuals who were once opulent. The dealings in Spanish stock arc to such an ex tent that we might fancy ourselves on the Exchange at Ma drid, and as we have here no standard for the rise and fall, and depend entirely on foreign influence, the business is be come a mere lottery. At Paris, where still more business is done than here, no action can be brought on time-bargains, and the whole transaction becomes as in the case of gamesters, an affair of honour.—Frankfort Papers, Jan. 27.

ROSS.— Mr. Thomas Thompson, solicitor, of this place, received on Sunday last a letter from Captain J. C. Ross, dated his Majesty's ship Cove, Orkney Islands, Longhope, Jan. 10, 1836, in which he says—" All's well ; we most fortunately arrived here in time to escape a strong S.W. gale that has continued all this day, and now shows such strong symp toms of abating that I hope to be off to-morrow at daylight. I have obtained here some most valuable information re specting the ships that are still absent." In a postscript he says Jan. 11, eight A.M. Our anchor is weighed, and —" w e are fairly off with a fine favourable East breeie."---Hull Advertiser of Friday. Lord Mulgrave has kindly offered to Mr. William Perry, the eldest son of Mr. James Perry, many years the proprietor and editor of the Morning Chronicle, an appoint ment in his household---that of Master of the Horse, which he has accepted. This appointment, we understand, was given unsolicited, and we have no doubt that it was in tended as a mark of the estimation in which the Noble Earl held the character of Mr. Perry, who, during his long connection with the Press, maintained its indepen dence, and defended the laws of civil and religious liberty, in times too when the hand of power was raised against every man who had the courage and manliness to advocate popular rights. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.--A Court of Common Council was held yesterday, in consequence of a requisition, to consider sundry proposed resolutions relative to the gaol of Newgate, and the regulations connected with the Central Criminal Court. The Lord Mayor laid before the Court a copy of the proceedings of the Court of Al ' dermen for making an increase of 1,0001. to the Recorder, and 5001. per annum each to the Common Sergeant and Mr. Sergeant Arabin, in consequence of their increased duties. The Court, on the motion of Mr. Pearson, agreed that the communication should lie on the table for the pre sent. Petitions from the Blackwell Railway Company and from the Greenwich Pier Company, were referred to the City Lands and Navigation Committee for consideration. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY TURNER V. BAKER. Mr. WATSON (with whom was Mr. BALL), stated that the plaintiff, who was a most respectable tailor, in George-street, Hanover square, brought this action to recover damages for an assault of a most gross kind, committed by the defendant, who was a gentleman of fortune, residing at Kensington. On the 31st December last, the plaintiff, accompanied by his appren tice, went to the defendant's house with a coat. The servant said Mr. Baker could not be seen then. The plaintiff said, " Very well, I will call in half an hour • will it be convenient then ?" The defendant appeared on the stair, and demanded what the plaintiff wanted. Being told, he said he would see him in half an hour. The plaintiff then wished to leave the coat with the servant till he returned, but Mr. Baker called out, " Don't take it," and at the same time rushed down stairs, and caught Mr. Turner by the collar, and kicked him as fast as he possibly could. In the scuffle, Mr. Turner's cloak was torn, his hat spoiled, and his face marked. The Learned Gen tleman did not know what reason the defendant conceived he had for such a proceeding ; but if he proved his case as it was • stated in his brief, he trusted the Jury would mark their sense of such conduct, and protect respectable tradesmen from such gross outrage in the conduct of their business, by giving ex emplary damages. The plaintiff's apprentice stated the circumstances of the case as above stated. In his cross-examination by Mr. ERLE, he said he went with the same coat about a fortnight before, when Mr . Baker sent it back, and said he would call. His master's brother was with him, and said, " David you had better leave it." Mr. Baker then threw it out. His master had been with the coat at Mr. Baker's before. There was nothing said on the 31st December about trying on the coat. After Mr. Baker told the servant not to take the coat, Mr. Turner was putting it down on a chair in the hall. Witness was quite certain Mr. Baker was not told to leave the house. Mr. Baker was not pushed back against a picture in the hall. All the fray took place in the hall in the presence of the servant. Mr. ERLE (who held the brief for Mr. Sergeant Merewea ther) said he was certain that the Jury already saw that this transaction was not one of a tradesman-like character, other wise it would be their duty to protect the plaintiff; but he was told that this was a hostile proceeding, in order to get a coat, which did not please, in some way or other thrown on the hands of the defendant. He would call the servant-girl, who would prove that the case made for the other side was almost entirely false. That after Mr. Baker had sent down a message that he would be disengaged in half an hour, Mr. Turner continued talking to the girl, and trying to get the coat put down on the premises. Mr. Baker then came down, and said such conduct was a shame, after the message he had sent down, and ordered Mr. Turner to leave the house. He refused, and then it was that Mr. Baker did what the law allowed him—he put his hand on the shoulder of the intruder, and attempted to put him out. Mr. Turner refused, and used violence. He would prove that Mr. Baker used no more vio lence than was necessary to clear his premises, and then the Jury would hear from the Judge that he was justified. How the face of the plaintiff got marked, or the cloak got torn, it was not for him to say ; but he would most certainly shew that it was not done in Mr. Baker's house. It was clear the plaintiff had gone with the intention of provoking a law suit, for who ever heard of an apprentice going to fit on a coat along with a master. In fact the boy was taken as \ a witness of the affair. Mr. Turner was determined to cause, for a writ was sued out on the very day the alleged assault took place. The girl, Maria Curling, proved the case as stated by the Learned Gentlemen, and swore distinctly that Mr. Baker ordered Mr. Turner to leave the house twice before he pushed him. She must have seen any kicking, had there been any, but she saw none. Turner resisted very much. she did not see any cloak torn. Mr. WATSON replied upon the evidence. His LORDSHIP summed up. The Jury retired, and after being out for upwards of half an hour, returned a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL MINAL COURT THIS DAY. NEW COURT. A mes Wallace and Joseph Field were indicted for felo niously stealing ten pounds weight of onion seed, the property of John Biggs. A policeman of the V division stated, that having received information, he went to the house of a Mr. Draper, between Kew and Richmond, and there found a bag, which he pro duced, c ontaining onion seed. He took the prisoner Wallace into custody, who thereupon asked him was it for the onion seed he wanted him. The foreman of Mr. Biggs stated that in October last he had some onion seed, which in November he found had been stolen. William Kendal proved having disposed of some onion seed for the prisoner Wallace, and having been questioned about the amount received for it by Fielding. The prisoners had nothing to urge in their defence. After some consultation the Jury returned a verdict of I Not Guilty. _ . KING'S BENCll.—(rnis DAY.)

MAYO.—A PARTY OF PLEASURE. Mr. THESSIGER (with whom were Mr. RICHARDS and Mr. MILLAR) stated the case. It was an action brought by Mr. Stibbard, a respectable gentleman carrying on business as an orange merchant in the city of London, against the defendant, to recover compensation for a most illegal and unwarrantable assault. The defendant was, in the month of August last, landlord of the Eel-Pye House, which is situate on an island in the river Thames, opposite Twickenham, and on the 26th of that month, the plaintiff and his wife, accompanied by Mr. Riches and his wife, agreed to make an excursion there. They accordingly passed over to the island in a boat kept by the defendant for the accommodation of parties, and were about to spread their cloth and knives and forks in the grounds, when the defendant's waiter said they would be charged 6d. each for accommodation, and might as well use his master's knives and forks, &c. The plaintiff and his friends agreed to this, and they had some ale and brandy, which, with 6d. each for accommodation, amounted to four shillings. It ap peared that the plaintiff's party had two bottles of wine, with them, for opening which a charge of two shillings " for corks" was made. The plaintiff refused to pay this additional sum as he considered it a gross extortion, and after offering the other sum of 4s. in vain to the waiter and landlord, they left it on the bar at the Hotel and proceeded to their boat. The landlord followed them and desired a constable named Camp bell to take the basket out of the boat, but the other party re fused to allow this and rowed away. They were followed in another boat by Campbell, another constable named Jenkins, and one of the defendant's waiters. They desired the plaintiff's boat to stop, and called upon the boatman Redknapp to assist them in the King's name, and compelled the party to return to the island. After remaining there about 25 minutes, and having still resisted the demand, the defendant said to the two constables, " Take these fellows into custody—l'll take the consequences on myself." These two respectable gentleman were accordingly taken into custody, carried over to Twicken ham, and marched between the two constables through the town, followed by a crowd of persons to the house of one of the inspectors, a butcher, who was not at home. From thence they were marched to the house of another inspector named Toome, and Mrs. Toome told the constables she was asto nished they would make themselves ridiculous by taking these gentlemen into custody, and the consequence of this sensible advice was they were discharged. It was perhaps impossible to state some of the circumstances connected with the case without exciting some little levity and laughter, and he doubted not his Learned Friend (Mr. Platt), who was tak ing ample notes, would make the affair as laughable and ridiculous as he could. He (Mr. Thessiger) was content that the Jury should have their laugh, provided they did not forget the serious injury that had been inflicted on his clients, and he trusted they would give them such damages as, under all the circumstances, they were fairly entitled to. John George Riches corroborated this statement of Coun sel. He had commenced an action himself. He had not proceeded with it, nor was it discontinued. When the boat was followed, he had certainly threatened to throw Campbell overboard, if he attempted to come in. Mrs. Riches and the waterman Redknapp corroborated his testimony. Mr. Rogers, the attorney for the plaintiff, had been in structed to sue out a writ by Mr. Riches, but it had expired. Mr. PLATT addressed the Jury for the defendant. Al though Mr. Riches' writ had expired, it could be renewed to morrow morning, and next term a Jury might be em pannelled to try the same case. He hoped some of the Jury had been to Eel-Pye island, and had brought there some of their own worth carrying, as they would then be aware that this charge was the usual one. The mischief in the pre sent case was, that this economical party brought orange wine worth 9d. a bottle, and did not relish paying a shilling for drawing the cork. —( A laugh.) Everything went on pleasantly till the feast was over, and then came the bill, which always brings a pain in the stomach.—(Laughter.) Had they been drinking generous Champagne or Burgundy, there would have been no dispute about the bill, but orange wine could not sto mach two shillings for corks.—( Much laughter.) He would admit that the defendant was wrong in taking the plaintiff into custody, but they would not, he was satisfied, give anything like vindictive damages against his client. No injury had been in flicted, as the party had been allowed to proccedto Twickenham, on their route home, and as to the expense, it was only the difference between going home by the coach, and going home by the steamer. Under all the circumstances, he hoped the justice of the case would be met by giving the plaintiff the smallest possible damages. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up the evidence at some length, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages Si. BRIGHTON -MONDAY.
