bring into cultivation one million of acres of Waste Land, all the idle and de3titute labourers of Ireland could at once be set to work, at an annual expense to the country, for the Interest of Five Millions, 4 per cent. or £200,000 Interest, second year 200,000 £400,000 This sum of 400,000/. would be all the actual cash advance that would be required to relieve, pacify, satisfy, and render comfortable the suffering population of Ireland. The owners of land in each parish ought gladly to give their waste and unprofitable land to be put under the management of Government Commissioners, to be brought into cultivation by an outlay of 5/. on each acre. Nor is there a labouring man in Ireland, with the inducement of being made secure in the possession of an acre of land, for 7 years—and being ad vanced the price of his labour for bringing it into cultivation, or 100 days' work at ls. per day, but would grasp at the offer—and from the 51. so advanced, save the means of putting down a crop, that would support his family all the year. A part of the labour might be applied to the erecting of a cottage, which the Irish peasantry are well qualified to do for themselves; .the wages of is. per day to be allowed while so employed. The first year, the land to be allowed rent free— the second, the same—and, within this period, the cottager would be comfortably settled—and made secure, during good behaviour, of his holding; on terms that would admit of his supporting a family, and becoming a useful and valuable subject. The sum of 5,000,0001. to he raised on the security of Government. at 4 per cent. interest. The proprietors of Waste Lands to be invited to give in, to Commissioners appointed by Government, returns of the lands that can be appropriated, on conditions to be specified to them. The Land-owners of Ireland are particularly interested in this Plan, as it will not only, in time, bring them an addi tional income from what is now dormant and useless, but greatly enhance the value of their cultivated lands ; as a better system of husbandry will become general, and Ireland soon be made the Granary of the Empire. The home consumption of Agricultural produce, all over the country, will greatly exceed in magnitude the boasted ex ports, while the latter can be greatly augmented, on terms most beneficial to Ireland. A liberal government will find the re venue increase, so as to justify a gradual reduction of the Taxes, which press most heavily on the working classes. And, when such results are reasonably to be expected from the ju dicious application of 5,000,0001.—it cannot be doubted fir a moment that arrangements will at once be made to carry the plan into immediate execution. The labouring - poor to be instantly set to work in erecting cottages, and bringing into cultivation waste and useless lands, under the direction of Overseers, to be appointed by the Board of . M . anagernent.• A labouring man, assisted by his wife and children, will, in three months, build a cabin, and put as much land into a state for .producing a crop, as will support them during the whole year. He will have his potatoes—a little barley and oats—erass for a cow—food for a pig—vegeta bles, poultry, &e. ; and all this he could be made master of, by an outlay of 5! —that is. paying Is. per day for 100 days, on showing work, to the satisfaction of an overseer. This is all that would be necessary to locate, and settle down. all the insurgents in Ireland—and such as would not avail themselves of the opportunity, ought to he consigned to all the severities of :Ylartiat law. A labouring man could thus be established in, the world, and put into a way of supporting his family comfort:ilk, be an outlay of 51.—tire intereat which, and 4 , , fair rent for the land, could, at the end of four Years, be paid. by himself—as will be afterwards shown. Even the capital could be paid off hy the people in ; fourteen veers— but, it would be better that Government should hold the 6.t -trout in the bands of their Commissioners, centiuuing the col lecters of the 200,0001., and having the power of fixiag the additinus to be made to the landlord's rent, w hich should never exi:e.l, in any case, it per acre. In their present coriiiiiicn they are desperate tied without aev hope, but in rebellion againq their rulers. What they can extort from the Lumanity of their less destitute countrymen is immediately devoured to satisfy the cravings of nature. Em ploy ! employ ! employ !—should be the word—and not " Agi tate ! agitate ! agitate !" It is impossible to cone2ive any tbin•-• more deplo,: - .ble than the situation or a poor Irish peasant, driven with ios from a eThin (perilrlps his blrth-piave), with which. wretched as it might be, he hal associated art the ideas which erickar a home to man ;—::rd, that too, by a mercenary Miediezaan; and to supvcrt a Cimireh, Ia whose tenets he do,s not believe.

Let any man, whatever his rank or condition in lire may contemplate for a moment this picture; let him revert to his own past life—t,,x hew are so fortunate as to eseapo moments of dinieupy, and perplexing. cares—he may then have some idea of the pressure upoa the mind of the unfortunate Irish peasant, placed in the :;iinition I have clesrrlhcd. Ile will net wonder .that a man, under such ciremostanecs, should. yield to the temptation of coin:biting crime to ohtain any re lief from his care, and resort to any ci.pedient to procure tem porary oblivion by means of intoNicltion. Neat to the exac tions of tie Middlemen arid the Church—Drunkenness ii the curse of Ireland ; and it is an evil which, its my opinion, eldeily results from the other two. It is the fallen and the brcker, man, who generally sioht into the beastly and aban doned drunkard. In Ireland, ti) vice i ialulged in to the grossest excess, •md excites the inE:uated wretches who give Way to it, to commit the crimes which tan - Ash the national cliaractor The deleterious spirit they dial; product:le of the re volting scenes we so often hear of. lz is generally made from raw grain, and sold at a great strength, in a new and harsh state, which may he called " liquid fire," that infuriates and maddens thorn. - It would be well for the Irish, if the use of malt whiskey were more general ; and that malt liquors were substituted for the gneatest part of the whiskey now consumed. The Scotch drink mild malt whiskey. The English drink gin, made from grain whiskey (but greatly modified and re. duced in strength) ; and there is a most marked distinction to be observed between the temper and habits of the lower orders on each side of the Channel ; that may in some degree be as cribed to the difference of drink in which they indulge—and under the influence of which the strongest features in the cha racter of both are developed." The actual cash advance, therefore, would be, for first and second year, 400,0001. In the third year, the settlers might be required to pay a rent of ss. per acre, or .£250,000 Third years interest of five millions added 150,000 200,000 Advance reduced, third year, to Which w3uld be liquidated on the fourth year, by the settlers being able to pay is. per acre, or 350,000 350,000 So that, at the end of the fourth year, the land would be in a condition to enable the people, not only to pay the inte rest of the original investment of 5,000,0001., or 200,000/., which would come to 4s. per acre ; but, also, to pay to the proprietors of the land broueht into cultivation, on the fifth year of possession, a rent of 6s. per acre ; making in all ios. per acre, or £500,000 Of which, for interest, 4s. per acre... £200,000 For landlords, Gs 300,000 X 500,000 Here then we have, on the fifth year, the plan, as it were, supporting itself ; after rescuing, from the brink of de struction, a great country ; and from destitution, a vast popu lation ; converting them, from rebels, to contented and valu able subjects. Besides the immense addition which would be created, and added to the wealth and resources of the nation at large, the benefit which individual land-owners would derive from the plan, would be incalculable. The land, which does not now yield them Is. per acre, would, in five years, be put in a state to be worth 10s. . per acre—in the occupancy of an industrious, thriving, and happy peasantry ; by whom its value would be encreased every suc ceeding year. The face of the country would be altered and improved peace and tranquillity established—and life and pro perty made secure. All these blessings would indubitably result from the adoption of the plan now proposed, if the management be kept clear of such jobbing as has disgraced every attempt that has ever yet been made to ameliorate the condition of the people of Ireland. The undertaking could be conducted by a Board of four Commissioners, residing in Dublin—one for each province; to make quarterly circuits, for the purpose of enquiring into and correcting all abuses. These Commissioners to be selected, for their experience in the management of lands, and superin tendence of public works, but more particularly for their sound judgment and business habits. To such men no more diffi culty will appear in this undertaking, than is to be encoun tered in the making of a high-way, rail-road, or canal, or in the builaing of a palace, or workhouse. There are no better labourers in the world than the Irish : and if set to work, for their own sole benefit, for the first two years, who can doubt the eagerness with which they will grasp at the opportunity of emancipating themselves from the most intolerable bondage by which man has ever been cursed I The Commissioners must be vested with ample powers to distribute, according . to merit, among the deserving those acres that may be forfeited by the idle and worthless. By this means, classes of a better description of people may be advanced from the general mass, and gradually pro moted to the uossession of live, ten, or twenty acres of land ; nod this mark of distinction will be the surest way of stimu lating the industry of the whole. The man who proves himself a good manager of five acres will he equally successful with ten, fifteen o r twenty— and fr om such men, can be selected the future overseers ; and in many cases the m a e agers o f l arge estates in Ireland. It is in this way, that, in the course of time, will be es tablished that connecting chain of grades in the social system, without which no country car, possibly prosper, or be great." • NEW CLUB.—The crowded state of the principal Clubs., and the consequent difficulty in obtaining. admission, have induced some Noblemen and Gentlemen, with whom are associated several Naval and Military pincers, to ooen a new Club, and we understand that one is now in progress of for. ?nation in the immediate vicinity of St. Jarnes's. It is to be entirely unconnected with party or politics, and is to be framed on .he basis of the Union. We are somewhat surprised that a similar undertaking has not been commenced before. At the principal Clubs there are upwards of 10,000 persons on the Candidates' Lists, many bf whom will, we have no doubt, t r,iadly avcil themselves of an opportunity to berorne members the new club._ our?

EVENING, APRIL 29, 1836. We understand that the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, after the most anxious and mature delibe ration, has fixed the maximum size for Newspapers at 1,530 superficial inches. This is large enough in all conscience, and will include the largest Papers now published. The original size contemplated was only 1,066 inches, so that he has increased the extent nearly one-half. This is exceedingly liberal, and is a convincing proof how desirous the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is to do justice to, and to meet the wishes of all parties, consistently with his public duty. In the House of Lords last night the LORD CIIAN CELLOR, after entering at some length into the nature of the p a resent Chancery system, and pointing out the eVils that flowed from it, observing at the same time, that the Court had by degrees, and in consequence of various circumstances, become the Court in which the greatest part of the property of the country, the subject of litigation, was now disposed of, proceeded to detail his plan for its reform, in a speech remar kable for its good sense, and the luminous, strait-for ward character of its statements. His Lordship is no shrinking, half-and-half Reformer ; he is not Con stantly begging the question, as Lord ELDON would be, were he to be entrusted with such an herculean and complicated task as a reform in the Court of • Chancery, but goes at once to the root of his subject. His plan is to the following effect:—He proposes that the Lord Chancellor shall be at the head of all the ultimate appellate jurisdictions of the country, and shall preside at appeals in error before the House of Lords, and also at those before the Privy Council. There is also to be a new Judge appointed, under the title of Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Chancery,who is to be appointed during life, but who shall also be • removable upon an address from the two houses of Lords and COMMOII3. In all Privy Council Sittings, the Lord Chancellor shall be present to adjudicate upon appeals, but should he be unavoidably absent, from ill health or other causes, then the Lord Presi dent shall have power to appoint, in his stead, any other Member of the judicial .Committee. In order to promote the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords, the Equity Judges shall be liable to summons, just as the . Common Law Judges are at present ; and Chancery Processes shall be passed under " the Court of Chancery seal," instead of, as now, under the Great Seal. All these reforms are to be accomplished by two Bills, one of wh hs ultimate ei v a Le i d ) o p rt e ,ii l ls l i a so t appellate ahune risdiction of ich will re l ate to the Court of and, and ips e t i- h l e ot o i s t of tero L o o p: d i r ' c s e l Chancery, Privy Council• Their favur, Lord of Cncery Refor• with considble LANG ha DALE simply m objecting, that era political and judi cial functions of the utmost importance would still be united in the Lord Chancellor, a point which he thought merited the most serious consideration of the House at a future stage of the Bills • and Lord WYNFORD demurring to that part of the plan, which united an appellate and an original jurisdiction in the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Chancery. On the whole, however, we may congratulate Lord COTTENHAM 011 having brought forward a scheme for Chancery Reform, which, bating a few inconsistencies which may be re medied without embarrassing or vitiating its leading , principles, will be productive of considerable advan tage to the community. The Chancery system, as at present acted upon, has long been a crying nuisance, and any plan that tends to abate the most obnoxious parts of it, should be received with gratitude by the country. Mr. GILLON, ever active in promoting the interests of Scotland, last night obtained leave to bring in a Bill, the object of which is to amend the licensing system in that part of the kingdom. According to the law as it exists , at present, the power of granting licenses to publicans is vested in the Magistrates, as in England ; and this power, liable as it naturally is to abuse, when the license has to be renewed annually, has been often exercised unjustly and oppressively. A privilege which ought to be granted solely on account of the accommodation afforded to the public, and the respectable character of the applicant, has been con ferred upon„ those who had no other claim to it, than what they derived from relationship to a magistrate, or a similarity of political views. To these all other considerations have been sacrificed; and it is therefore high time that a stop were put to a prac tice so full of favouritism and partiality, so derogatory to the character of the bench, and trenching so much on the comfort and convenience of the public.- Mr. GILLON proposes to transfer part of the power nQw exercised by the Magistrates to the Excise, so that in future any publican may obtain a renewal of his license on application to that department, provided no substantial reason can be given for refusing it. Mr. GILLON also proposes that publicans should be allowed to sell ale and beer without being obliged to take out a spirit license, which we think would be at tended with many advantages. Mr. WALLACE strongly seconded Mr. GILLON'S motion, insisting that the trade of a publican ought not to be subjected to any oppressive reduction, but should be open like other trades to competition ; and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the subject was under the consideration of Government, and would soon be brought before the House. The Right Hon. Gen tleman, we are glad to say, approved highly of the system of permanent licences, which he said had worked well in Ireland. We may, therefore, confi dently hope soon to see an amelioration in the laws re lating to this important branch of trade. To discover the cause of the evils existing in Ireland —to devise a plain and simple remedy for putting down agitation ; pacifying and employing the people ; ha proving and enriching the country ; and giving secu rity to life and property—is to do all that Parliament has been vainly trying to do for the last fifty years. Now, if we may be allowed:to credit the title-page of a pamphlet, which has just been handed to us, all this has been done by an individual of whom personally we know nothing ; but for whom, notwithstanding, we feel the greatest respect, inasmuch as he has manfully taken up the cause of the 'poor of Ireland. This pamphlet was first published in 1984, before the Poor Law Commissioners had made their first report ; and yet strange as it may seem, his remedy is substantially the same as that recommended by the Commissioners in their third report—the agricultural employment of the able-bodied labourers. Ills plan for the relief of Ireland will be found in another part of The Sun ; and though we by no means adopt it as our own, we are quite satisfied that its publication will benefit the cause which the writer so feelingly advocates. We cordially concur with him attributing the miseries of Ireland to the indigence of the great mass of the people. Nothing makes men more quarrelsome, or drives them sooner to the commission of every outrage, than hunger. Starvation is the most intolerable of evils, and a people a prey to it may be expected to be guilty of the worst excesses. But notwithstanding All the that has been said of th e p ro fli ga t e h a bi ts of lowest order of the Irish,' we are only Furprised at finding that the people are no worse. We are con fident that a more patient, long-suffering, and easily satisfied race of human beings never existed ; and that without a two-fold share of the very qualities in which their traducers say they are most deficient, they would not submit for a single day to the unheard-of privations with which they are familiar. Let it not be supposed, however, that we approve of this apathetic forbearance on their part. On the contrary, we should have by far a higher opinion of them, could we but make them discontented with their present wretched condition. Ireland will never prosper until her poorest inhabitants refuse thlive on potatoes—till they insist upon being provided with bread and butcher's meat. The Irish want wants. When they come to feel that they are neither suitably clothed, housed, nor fed ; and when in consequence they become so discontented -as to strike alarm to the hearts of their oppressors, then shall we begin to entertain hopes of the speedy regeneration of the Sister Kingdom. The Paris Journ2ls of Wednesday, the whole of which we have just received, bring no intelligence of moment from the Basques. On the 21st, General EVANS, with his division, had reached St. Sebastian, on his way to re-establish the bridge of St. Catherine, which serves as a communication with the Port of Passages. On the 9th CORDOVA marched at the head of a formidable division, in the direction of Bilboa, in order to prevent EGUIA from approaching the sown. It was rumoured—on the authority of letters from Valencia—that Gene ral PALAREA'S division fell in with CABRERA'S bands near Benjasot, on the Madrid road, when, after a severe e•;gagement, the Carlists retreated, leaving 300 killed. The Christinos left ten killed, besides forty dangerously wounded. No quarter was given to the prisoners on either side ; all that were taken, were barbarously murdered on the spot. The following day CABRERA, at the head of his scattered forces, fled towards Alcublas. The Garrison of St. Matteo—a little town situated within twenty leagues of Valencia—repulsed a party of Carlists on the 3d instant. Other trifling advantages gained by the QUEEN'S troops are enumerated in the Journals, which serve to show that the cause of legitimacy and freedom is gradually progressing. In the Chamb er o f Doputies - on Tuesday the ques tion before the Members was the adjustment of the wcol duty. The advocates of the prohibitive system obtained another victory, M. DUCIIATEL cheering them on with all the eloquence of which he is master. The Ministerial organs are in raptures with the foreign policy of M. THIERS. The accounts of the seizure of a Carlist correspon dence, and the seeret assistance rendered to the Pre tender by the Prussian Government, mentioned in the annexed extracts from the French journals, are important if true : P.taia, APRIL 27.—We are assured (says the / n di cateur) that at the entrance of one of the barriers of B our d eaux, some Custom-house officers, seizing a box which they imagined to contain cigars, found a voluminous corresponden ce o f Don Carlos, which is said to be now in the hands of the Go vernment. A letter from Berlin confirms the news of which we have already spoken, viz., that a considerable sum of money had been remitted from Prussia to Don Carlos, thro ug h t h e me dium of the M ar itime Society. It is evident after this, says the Prussian correspondent, that the Government uphold s t h e pri vileges of thi s S oc i e ty, which are entirely contrary to the prin ciples of the freedom of trade, only for the ex ecut i on of its secret political p r ospects. It thinks it can support D on Car los through thi s S o ciety, without appearing to intervene in Spain. Marshal Clausel and Generals Perregucux and Saint Mi chel, as well as Baron de la Rue, aide-de-camp to the Minis ter of War, are expected at Marseilles on the 23rd. Th ey had very bad weather on their voyage from Africa to Mahon, where they have performed quarantine. Mareial Clausel will immediately set out for Paris. Baron de la Rue was slightly wounded in the campaign at Medeah. It is affirmed that Marshal Gerard ha; resisted the urgent solicitations to distribute a multitude of crosses of the Legion of Honour this year; also on occasion of the King' s f ete. Accordi ng t o th e l as t re p or t which he has laid before hi s M a _ jesty, it h as b een d ec id e d that no application shall be attended to, except in favour of the army in Africa. Yesterday Prince Talle;, - rand caused himself to be conveyed to the Tuilleries, where he remained from half-past three to six o'cloex.—Messager, April 27. Since writing the above we have received the fol lowing extract of a . letter from a superior officer in the British Auxiliary Legion, dated St. Sebastian, April 23d. : " We find this place closely invested by the Carlists, under Segastibelza ; they have thrown up two lines of parapets within cannon shot of the town, and within musket shot of our outposts, to the Convent of San Bartolomeo. We have here 5,500 electives, and good men too. As soon as the remainder of our battalions arrive we shall commence in real earnest, if indeed these quick-footed fellows wait for us, which I very much doubt ; for they have neither guns of sufficient weight nor stores to carry on a regular siege against a place cf this strength."

We have Dutch Papers of Wednesday. The States- General were prorogued by the Minister of the Interior, in the name of his Mjaesty WILLIANr OF HOLLAND on the 26th instant. The following in the prorogation speech : " High and Noble Lords, " During the session which ends this day, your High Mighti ness have again had weighty subjects before you. " A series of important projects of law has been laid before the States-General, and many matters have been settled with their co-operation. " The revisal of the Codes of Commerce, and of the pro ceedings in the Criminal Courts are completed. " More precise enactments have been made respecting the counterfeiting or debasing the coin. " The laws against seditious intrigues have been renewed. " The necessary regulations have been made for the levy of the militia. " The means for relieving the distress of agriculture, have been adopted by your Assembly. " The law on the personal tax is modified. " By the adaption of the budget and the laws connected with it, provision is made for the public service, and the credit of the State confirmed. " Other important financial measures have engaged your attention. These aimed at applying the advantages of our transmarine possessions to indemnify the mother country from the burdens which it has taken on itself on their account, and to lead the way to an alleviation of the burdens of the people, which would also afford an opportunity of making the ordinary budget extend to several years, and thus to introduce more firmness into our financial affairs ; it is therefore to be regretted that only a part of the proposed legal enactments has been car ried into effect. " The view of your operations exhibits a pleasing result ; the state of the country is satisfactory, and we may look to the future with gratitude and confidence." ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 10.---The Russian Government has given notice that till the middle of July this year Barley may be imported into the district of Nyland, and Barley, Rye, Barley Flour, and Peas into that of Ulenburg in Finland, duty free. Mr. Hume's name was omitted in the list of the minority on the Great Northern Railway Bill; and in the di vision on the Marquis of Chandos's motion, Mr. Borthwick was inserted in the majority instead of Dr. Bowring, and Mr. W. Marshall was inserted in the minority instead of Mr. Sturt. MR. WILLIS'S NEW WORK.—We are requested to state that Mr. Willis's new work, " Inklings of Adventure," is now ready, and may be had of the publishers, Messrs. Saunders and Otley, at the Libraries, and of the Booksellers in town and country. Also, a third edition of Mr. Bulwer's " Student ;" Mr. Landor's new works, " Pericles and Aspa sia," and the " Letters of a Conservative on the English Church ;" " The Pilgrim of Nature," a poem • and M. Pas savant's " Tour of a German Artist in England." _ This day the King and Queen visited the exhibition at the Royal Academy, which will be opened to the public on Monday next. Their Majesties went in state. PAVILION THEATRE.—A gentleman . named Sloane made his first appearance in London at this Theatre last night, in the part of Phelim, in Mr. Haines's Interlude of Love and Mystery, in which piece Mrs. Waylett, who seems to be equally a favourite in the East as she is in the West, per formed the principal female part. The Lady's singing is just as refined as ever it was, and her acting if anything better. Mr. Sloane is, we understand, a man of property and an ama teur. He has more of the requisites for acting than many who depend for their livelihoods upon their histrionic labours. His brogue only, was rather laboured, otherwise he has all the re quisites for playing Irish characters. The House was crowded. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, and Lady Mary Talbot, are on their way from Rome to England ; they were to arrive at Paris on the 27th inst. His Lordship's youngest daughter, Lady Gerendaline, who is married to the son of the Italian Prince Borghese, remains, we believe, i n Italy with her consort. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Last night an inquest was held at Charing-cross Hospital before Mr. Higgs, on view of the body of Mr. James Dutton, aged 52. James Perry was employed to superintend the steam engine in the central walk on the south side of Covent-garden Market. The en gine was for the purpose of supplying the market with water, and is of - two-horse power. On the sth instant the deceased, accompanied by a friend, came to inspect the engine • the fly wheel of the engine was going round at the time, and the de ceased descended the steps for the purpose of having a full view of the evolutions of the engine. Witness was near the steam cock when he heard cries of distress, and, being fearful that some accident had happened, stopped the engine by turning off the cock. \Vitness then discove re d t h at the de ceased had been knocked down by the fly wheel, b y w hi c h, his leg was broken and otherwise much injured. li e was im mediately removed in a cab to this hospital. Mr. Buller, house surgeon of the Hospital, deposed that the deceased's right leg was amputated on the 22d, and he died that morning, from the effects of the operation. Verdict—Accidental Death.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat this morning shortly after ten o'clock, but having to attend a Council, his Lordship left the Court before eleven o'clock, and did not return till nearly one. The Court then proceeded with the part heard case of Campbell v. Mackay, which was an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor, giving liberty to Lady Campbell to take her children abroad for the benefit of their health, We gave the case fully when it was before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied this morning with hearing consent petitions and causes. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) PENNY V. PETO. Mr. CHANDLESS applied this morning to His Honour to transfer the proceedings which had taken place on this case in the office of the Master Trower, deceased, to the office of the Master in rotation. The object of the application Was to expedite the proceedings in the suit, the testator having been dead upwards of seventeen years. Some time back thSre might have been some delicacy in removing proceedings from the office of one Master to another, on account of the fees ; but that feeling could not now exist. The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed that he had a great ob jection to produce any inequality in the offices of the different Masters, which he should do if he granted this application. He thought very little delay would take place, as he under stood that the subject of the appointment of a new Master was now under consideration. His Honour then procceeded with his list of cause petitions. ~. SPORTING INTELLIGENC TATTERSALL'S.

This was an action for an assault and battery, tried before Chief Justice TINDALL at the Warwickshire Spring Assizes, 1835. The eircumstancas arose out of the election for the Eastern Division of Worcester, in January, 1835, at which the plaintiff, who is a: journeyman whitesmith, was employed as an agent for Messrs. Cookes and Holland, to ride between the polling places of Dudley and Stourbridge, for the purpose, of communicating the state of the poll. The defendant, Mr. Badger, is a Magistrate of Worcestershire, and was represented as an active friend of the opposing candidate, Mr. Horace St. Paul. Mr. Badger was employed in the latter place. in assist ing the voters to get up to the polling booth, and a scuffle or disturbance ensued, in the course of which it was alleged that Mr. Badger struck the plaintiff on the leg with a stick, which ruptured a varicose vein, and by which the defendant sustained considerable injury. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 301. A rule for a new trial having been subsequently obtained by Mr. Sergeant Goulburn on affidavits, Mr. BALGITY and Mr. WHITE now appeared to show cause against the rule. The arguments of the Learned Counsel were directed principally to show that the testimony of the three witnesses for the plaintiff at the trial, relative to the blow having been inflicted by the defendant, was uncontra dieted, the witnesses on the other side merely stating that they did not believe the defendant had inflicted it ; and that it was impossible he could have done so without their having seen him. There was, therefore, they contended, no ground for disturbing the verdict. Mr. Sergeant GOULISLRN was heard in support of the rule. He hoped the Court would be of opinion that this case should be sent down for fuller and more satisfactory investigation. The case ,vas one of vital importance to the defendant, as a representation had been made to the Lord Lieutenant of the county, to hare him removed from the commission of the peace which he had held for upwards of twenty years. Lord DENMAN—We have nothing of that in the affidavits. We had better confine ourselves to them. Mr. Sergeant GouLBURN-It was stated on the other side, that the defendant was acting as the political partizan of one of the candidates ; but it appeared from the evidence of the constable of the Hundred, and several other witnesses, that he was acting in the discharge of his duty as a magistrate. Pe-. cuniary consideration was out of the question—the defendant did not complain of the amount of the verdict, but he wished to have the imputation removed from his character, and in order that this might be donn without expense to the plaintiff, the defendant was willing not only to pay the taxed costs, but the full costs of the case. Under these circumstances he hoped the Court would grant the defendant the favour which he soufflit at its hands. The Court having conferred for some time together, Lord DEN MAN said they would look into the affidavits, and see if there was any ground for granting the rule prayed for. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied with matters of no public intere: up to the time that our reporter left. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORD3' last night; the Archbishop of Canterbury's Ecclesiastical Bill went through Committee. Two Bills, one regarding: the administratio❑ of justice in the Court of Chan cery, and the other respecting the Appellate Jurisdiction of that House, were introduced by the Lord Chancellor, and were read a first time. One of the objects contemplated is the separation of the Senatorial from the Judicial functions of the Lord Chancellor. The details of these two important measures will be found in the speech of the Noble Mover. In the course of the discussion he intimated his intention to bring forward. at an early period, the Imprisonment for Debt Abo lition Bill, which measure carried, he should propose the doing away altogether with the Court of Review. In the COMNIONS', after the expression by the Speaker of an opinion ad verse to the course proposed by Mr. W. F. Camp bell, in relation to the Stirling Canal Bill, the Hun. Gentle man withdrew his motion. A Select Committee was ap pointed to inquire into the management of Dover Harbour. After some discussion on the Edinburgh Poor Rates Bill, the [louse divided, when the ayes had it, by a majority of 108 to 77. Mr. Buckingham obtained leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of the Copyright Act, as enjoins the gratuitous delivery of every published work to eleven of the public insti tutions, colleges, and libraries of the kingdom. Notice of a motion on the Law of Patents was given. Lord Morpeth ob tained leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the Grand Jury Laws of Ireland. Mr. Gillon obtained leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of the 24th Geo. 11. c. 40. and 6th Geo. IV. c. 48., as prevents the recovery of debts for spirituous liquors, when the debt contracted at one time shall not amount to the sum of twenty shillings. The same Hon. Member obtained leave also to bring in a Bill to alter the law relating to the granting certificates to public-houses in Scot land. Leave was given to Mr. Aglionby to introduce a mea sure having for end the lengthening the period between Sen tence and Execution for Felony. In the course of the discus sion Mr. Hume spewed by returns that crime had diminished; not by the severity, but under a relaxation of our sanguinary criminal code. A motion was submitted by Sir H. Verney for an address to his Majesty for the appointment of a Royal Commission, to whose consideration should be submitted every proposal to construct a Railway in any part of Great Britain and Ireland before the introduction of a Bill for the purpose into Parliament. The Chancellor of the Exchequer objected to the motion, as it would place in the hands of his Majesty's Ministers a greater power over the capital of the country than ought to be given either to Government or even to Parliament. In accordance with his view, and the sense of the House ap pearing to be against it, Sir H. Verney withdrew his motion for the present. The House was counted out at half-past ten o'clock. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. 'We have no other arrivals this morning, than the ordinary foreign mails, viz.—the French, Dutch, and Ostend. In consequence of the scarcity of arrivals, and there being no intelligence by the foreign mails of much importance, there are few operations of the funds. Consols opened at the leaving-off prices of yesterday, 91 for the Account, and for Money the same. Exchequer Bills, 19 21 ; India Bonds, 5 7 ; Bank Stock, 210 ; India Stock, 256 257. It is believed in the City that a quantity of English and Prussian gold has made its appearance in the Carlist camp — supposed to have been smuggled out of this country by Don Carlos's agents. This is the settling-day in the Foreign Market for all Fo reign Securities; and this occupies the attention of the job bers and brokers. The Spanish Account is the heaviest to settle—the fluctuation in that Stock during the account has not, however, been very heavy—about 21 per cent. the ex treme—consequently, there is every appearance that the set tling will go off well. Spanish Active Bonds may be quoted at present 47!. I; Portuguese 82+ to 3 per Cents., 523, This last Stock is heavy, owing to the unfavourable accounts received yesterday from Lisbon. , HALF-PAST ONE. The British Market continues to the present hour inactive, and Consols may be quoted at 91i for the Account, and 91h for Money. Exchequer Bills, lower, 19; India Bonds, lower, 7 to 4 ; Bank Stock, 209 a 210 ; India Stock, 257. The accounts received from St. Sebastian this morning arc of a favourable tenour. Although that town was closely in. vested by the Carlists, we have no doubt, ere this, they have taken to their heels, as it was not expected they would show fight. — ln the Foreign Market, the settlement of the accounts is going off well, as we do not hear, to this hour, of any failures.
