(t_'. timing LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1844. In the House of Lords a brief discussion took place on the motion that the Dissenters' Chapels Bills be rod a third time. It was moved by Lord WHARNCLIFFE and opposed by the Bishop of EXETER. The'Earl of WlNcitiLsEA, Lord KENYON, and Lord MouNicAsnEL, also opposed the Bill ; one on the ground that he was a Christian, and another that it was an act of spoliation. Their Lordships, however, did not pay much respect to these pleas, for only nine voted against it. The numbers were for the third reading 44, against, it 9. The Duke of RICHMOND postponed his motion re lative to the duty on wool till► this day ; and the noOse adjourned at Half-past Seven. In the Commons, the Leeds and Bradford Railway- Bill was read a third time and Lord - 41)11N . RUSSELL, gave notice that, on the House going into Comkhitte+,! on the Sugar Duties he would move that the duty of 345. per cwt. be levied on all foreign sugars. •Mr. HUME moved all address to her MAJESTY for abolishing the effice of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. H e was always opposed to a repeal of the union, and he made the motion with a view to produce a change Which . would render repeal unnecessary. Under the present system, Ireland and Gre3;t. Britain were treated as distinct kingdoms. Remove 'this anomaly—place the three coun tries on the same footing, and the cry for repeal would soon cease. Ireland was treated a.s a colony, and until she was treated as an integral portion of the empire, cntitled to the same privileges, and go. verned by the, same laws, she would hale a right to complain. • Captain BERNAL seconded the motion. Lord ELIoT opposed it. The system, he said, had been in existence for 400 or 500 plop, and those who proposed a change should show some good reason for it, and offer some better substitute. The abolition of the office of Lord-Lieutenant, he believed, would cause great dissatis'action in Ireland, and that, inde pendent of other circumstances, would make him op pose the scheme. Lord jour; RUSSELL also opposed the motion, while at the same time he believed the abolition of the office would- be productive of much good; he wished, however; -to leave the affair to the Executive Government. AfteF : l?rief speeches from. Mr. SUA.W, Sir ROBERT FEE 4 and others, Mr. Hume withdrew the motion. Mr. Bum & moved fur a copy of an opinion given by Mr. PENNEFATHER, the present Chief Justice ofthe Queen's Bench in Ireland, on the 28th of February, 1820, in the case of PEMBROKE V. KINOSMILL, in which Mr. PENNEFATHER advised his client to avoid finding a certain charter of JAMES 1., with reference to the corporation of Kilkenny, and thereby to defeat the ends of justice. Lord ELIOT understood that the circumstances were these :—The corporation of Kilkenny claimed certain tolls in right of a charter granted by JAMES I. Subsequently JAMES 11. granted a second charter, which the corporation rejected, and Mr• PENNEFATIIER merely advised his clients not to pro duce this rejected charter, as it would only throw doubt on the question. He saw nothing in this to impugn the integrity of this upright Judge, and re gretted that the motion had been brought forward. Mr. SHAW, Dr. BOWRING, Mr. DARBY, and other Memlwrs, made some brief remarks, when the motion was negatived without a division. The House adjourned at Half-pa.tt Nine. The proceedings at the Old Bailey yesterday fur nish a remarkable instance of the blessings con ferred on the country by the " wisdom of our ancestors." By these wise men it was decreed that juries must agree to an unanimous verdict, or be starved to death. In the case of CROUCH, who mur dured his wife, the fact was proved by incontestible evidence, but surgeons or mad doctors were called on the other"'side, who proved that he had, at a certain time, received a concussion of the brain, and that a man who had sustained such an injury, on taking ardent spirits " would run amuck." This statement puzzled some of the jury. They believed he had taken ardent spirits, and was not capable of distinguishing right from wrong, and they therefore resolved to acquit him, on the ground of insanity. Some of them, however, took a more sane view of the question, and would not admit the plea, that a man who had committed such a deliberate murder under the influence of liquor, should be acquitted. The parties joined issue ; neither would yield. They were locked up for the night. They were debarred from wine, and ale, and bread—all refreshment, in fact, was forbidden—and were placed in durance more vile than the prisoner himself, with the exception that they were allowed pen,' paper, ink, and candles. We presume, after trying to agree, they fell asleep on the question, and ' next morning they all awoke of the same opinion, and at half-past eleven o'clock they respectfully sent a message to the Bench, soliciting a glass of water, as some of them had not tasted food, or taken refreshment of any; kind for thirty hours, and they were all nearly exhausted. The Court was inexorable—they must agree in their verdict, or starve. They returned to their cell, and, after mature deliberation, we presume, the thought it was better that one man should die than twelve, and they unanimously returned a verdict of guilty. No instance could exhibit the folly and immorality of the present system in a stronger light. These jurors were all sworn to deliver a true verdict, according to the evidence and their conscience, and from mere inability to sustain sthe struggle longer, the veaker party was compelled to give way, and de liver a verdict, on their solemn oath, contrary to their conviction. These men are perjured to all in tents and purposes, and they are perjured, not from any fault of their own, but from the, defect of the criminal law. This is not thel only evil, however, springing out of the " wisdom of our ancestors." Had the struggle been carried on for a few hours longer, a doctor would have been called in, and on his oath he would haxie assured the . Judge that the lives of the least robust were placed in the greatest danger, and that they could not survive another night. The Judge of course would have discharged them, and Caoucu at the same time, so that a man who the doctors swore "would run amuck" when he tasted liquor, must have been let loose on society to commit some fresh murder. It is needless to make any additional coin merits on such grave facts, further than to say that immediate steps are imperatively required both for the ends of justice and making oaths sacred. No other country exhibits such an absurd anomaly in its criminal code. At the last Borough Sessions at Carmarthen, a man named JOHN CHARLES was indicted for unlaw fully obstructing the path leading through certain meadows called the Royal Oak fields. It appeared in evidence that the defendant, being in possession of a field in which there was an old stile leading to a path that had been a public one for sixty years and up • wards, had caused the stile to be removed, and an iron gate placed there instead, which was always kept locked. At the close of the trial, the jury found CHARLES guilty; but as the prosecutor did not press for punishment, be was liberated, on entering into his recognisances to appear, when called on, for judgment, and on the understanding, also, that he should erect, within a week, a proper and convenient stile in the place where the old one formerly stood, and give the neigh- bourhood the same right of way through the field which they had always had. At the recent Hertford assizes a somewhat similar case was heard before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN. The plaintiff was the owner and occupier of Rickmansworth Park, and had taken it upon himself to close a path which runs near his house, and which had been used for se veral years 'by his neighbours as a short cut to some mills in- the vicinity. He contended that there was no public footpath, strictly speaking, for though people had long been in the habit of making use'bf it, yet it was only upon sufferance, the legal right being against them. On the part of the defendant it was urged, that by the usage of many years the path in question had become a public one, and the right of people to pass through it could not now be disputed. The result of the trial was that a verdict was returned for the defendant, thereby esta blishing the right of the public to the disputed path. We trust that these two important verdicts, which do infinite credit to the jury who delivered them, will have th^ effect in some degree, of putting a stop to that jealous, selfish spirit of isolation and exclusive ness which for some years past has been creeping in among our provincial gentry. Whoever is ac- quainted with our rural districts, especially with those in the • neighbourhood of cities and towns, cannot fail to have remarked with disgust and vexation the gradual disappearanCe of those delightful field paths which, for many years, were the sources of such convenience and enjoyment to the inhabitants of the vicinity. How many a narrow, winding path leading away from the dusty high-road, through meadows carpeted with the freshest turf, and enamelled with all sorts of fragrant wild flowers, have been recently stopped up, merely to gratify the absurd pride and paltry selfish ness and jealousy of some " respectable" country gentleman, who had purchased a " respectable" estate in the neighbourhood, and thought it necessary to his " resFectability" that his neighbours should be shut out from the " old familiar" meadows which formed a portion of his newly acquired domains ! How many a poor man's quiet, healthy, evening stroll with his family, after the day's labours are at an end, has been rudely put a stop . to, in order that the rich man of the parish—frequently some retired merchant or thriving attorney—may have the oppor tunity of exhibiting that love of exclusiveness and tyranny, which are the unerring characteristics of a petty, vulgar, upstart nature ! It may seem to many people a matter of little or no public moment whether field-paths are stopped up by the score or not; but in reality it is not so; it is a question of grave importance, involving far more than merely ephemeral considerations—a question whether the humbler classes of the provincial community shall be still further alienated from those above 'them by a continued manifestation, on the part of the latter, of a spirit of jealous exclusiveness and arbitrary power, a.; ungene rous as it is impolitic; or whether by a mutual dis play of good-will and forbearance towards each other, a kindlier feeling shall be generate, we repeat, r tz e e e n t, th e e nt t , .w e o f c l ass es. A question of this sort is no trifling moment; and it is for the higher orders to take the initiative in the matter, and make the first a d vanc es towards the poor, for they have been h great" aggressors. No subject of more grave or extensive importance can address itself, at any time, to the profound attention of the Legislature, in a' country circumstanced as Great Britain is with regard to colonial connexions, than Emigration. But there are certain anomalies in the . , present condition of this country, and in her political THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1844 relations, which fearfully enhance that importance. The enormous multiplication of machinery power has at least an immediate tendency to diminish the demand for human labour; whilst the excess of manufacturing production (unrelieved by any active principle of distribution to the masses) has the double effect of glutting the market, and thereby reducing prices to an unnatural extent, and of depreciating wages in proportion to the competition for employ ment occasioned by such diminished demand for labour. The continual recurrence of these causes, in this order, has at length, a sort of cumulative opera tion, which the occasional impetus given to labour and production can neither overtake nor sensibly countervail. The seasons of depreciation and depres sion which our industrial community have had, of late years, to encounter, are, out of all proportion, either more numerous or more permanent than those of revival and energetic action. These last represent a power say of one, and increasing only by units, which has to compete with a power of five, or seven or ten, even, increasing from time to time by quanti• ties equally large. For, besides the general elements of depreciation and depression just noticed, we must allow for the coincident increase of our population, and the growth of competing foreign machinery and manufactures ; the one reacting on the already over crowded supply of labour, the other on the already diminished demand for it. Nor is this all ; we have yet to take into the account the consequences of those fatal errors of our legislation which virtually overwhelm with taxation the poor, and lightly visit the rich, by the customs, the imposts, or the monopoly supply of articles and commodities the most indispensable to human subsistence. Had Great Britain possessed no colonies, or had she longer withheld even that cold encouragement and those in adequate facilities which she now extends to free emigrants, a crisis must have arrived, ere now, in which we should have had the misery of subsiding into the social condition of some among the more Southern States of Europe. We should have had a fourth power in the State ;—a lazzaroni population, too fiercely excited by distress to respect the rights of property, whilst they were unable to satisfy the cravings of nature; too abjectly poor, in the wealthiest country of the world, not to levy a war of brigandage and spoliation upon the capital so largely possessed by others. But, instead of these incalculable horrors, the tide of emigration has annually removed from our shores and landed on those of Africa or Asia, of America or New Holland, many. thousands of our surplus agricultural hands, farmers, and labourers; and a number, little inferior, of our unemployed me chanics, masters and operatives ; also, of able-bodied paupers and servants. But emigration of a new character and on a larger scale—emigrants not from England, nor from any part of Continental Europe— not destined for Africa, nor for Asia, nor for New Holland ;—emigrant labour of a totally novel descrip tion from any to which it had been applied under the auspices of former Governments of this country ; these have become among the most vital necessities of the empire, in relation to the integrity of its colonial dominions. Owing to the magnificent generosity with which we have extinguished the condition of Negro Slavery throughout the whole of our possessions in the West Indies,' and on the American Main, the emancipated black races have long manifested so engrossing a preference for the unrestricted enjoyment of their new condition of social existence, over any amount of regular wages for field labour, as to occasion the most serious apprehensions for the future productiveness of those fertile regions of which this compulsory tillage had heretofore developed all the prodigious fertility. Free labour was becoming, as to the eman cipated slave, a mere speculative theory. In practice it was so uncertain, so partial, so interrupted, and so expensive, that the planters and owners (whose in vestments of capital in the land, in works, machinery, &c., &c., and in the shipping customarily engagedin the West India trade, are enormous) are compelled to turn their views to other quarters, from whence they might hope to draw the necessary supplies of human labour, to keep their estates in proper cultivation, and to raise such crops as might adequately compensate them for the risk of their capital, and the annual amount of their outlay. Free labour exclusively (Heaven be thanked 1) it was, and is still, necessary that they should employ. But the burning climate of those tropical regions has ever interposed an insuperable, because a physical, obstacle to the efforts of European agricultural industry within them. The intensity of the heat, the exhausting nature of avocations in parts neces sarily pursued beneath its fiercest action, the hostility of the rainy season to European health, and the dele terious influences of vegetable decomposition, are pa ralysing to the mental powers even, but fatal, in a greater or less degree, according to the modification of external circumstances, and of the physiology of individual constitutions, to the bodily health of natives of our temperate countries. Only people of the copper coloured, or the yellow races, can replace, or labour with, the negroes in the out-door occupations of West Indian husbandry ; as it was once imagined that only the negroes could be Substituted for the red Caribs, or indigenous population of the Carrib bean Archipelago, whom the brutal avarice and cruelty of their white invaders and masters have long since utterly extirpated. Meanwhile, soil ex hausted or not, our West Indian position is one which political exigencies would compel us to retain even if commercial discretion should prompt us to abandon it. These islands, by their geographical position, supply a chain of posts of observation ranging along a vast, extent of the eastern coasts of the two Americas. They are advanced works " from whence the Old World regards the New." It is now, at length, per mitted to us to arrive at the second bright page in the death and blood-stained annals of our settlements in the West Indies. We have given freedom to 900,000 blacks, who were, some years pre viously, of no higher legal or political importance than the lowest serfs, the meanest adscripti glebce ; namely, human chattels—whose lives were measured as they were consumed, by the amount of physical labour performed. They were machines animated— but still brute, and fed and sustained only because exist ence was the indispensable ingredient of their value, and because that value was proportionately enhanced with the vigour and healthfulness of that existence. Those who are now to replace them are -1. Volun tary labourers. 2. Well paid, protected, and enter tained. 3. Term servants only, capable not merely of leaving their employment at a given period, pre viously specified and agreed upon with the employer, and guaranteed by the local Government; but even, on reasonable cause shown, before the expiration of their contract. 4. They are in all respects, both as to their private positions and comforts, and as to their social • condition, not. degraded below, but elevated above those which they occupied in their far distant homes, from which they have . been, on their own ap plication, or with their own free consent and desire, imported into these British islands and possessions. it is long since we have perused any of the Parlia mentary Papers with more pleasu►e than we have de rived from an examination of the " Blue Book," entitled " Correspondence relative to Emigration of Labourers to the West Indies and the Mauritius, from the west coast of Africa, the East Indies, and China, presented to both Houses by command of her MAJESTY in the course of the present session." The first class of correspondence, documents, returns, &c., relates to the emigration of labourers to Jamaica, British Guiana, and Trinidad. The second—to that of (East) Indian labourers to the Mauritius. The third—to that of Chinese labourers to the West In dies. The fourth—that of (East) Indian labourers to the West Indies. We hope shortly to find room fur some detailed abstract of their contents. struction of the new prison of La Force, and declared that the cells were insufferably small, ill-ventilated, and in fact unfit for human beings. This gave offence to the scientific skill and pride of M. ARAGO and Co., and on the adjournment of the Chamber, it would appear, they hurried to the prison to make ex periments ; and the next day M. ARAGO reported the result to the Chamber, amidst loud laughter. " I can take on myself to declare," said he, " that the Hon. Deputy was completely mistaken. It was not alone the size of a cell that was to be considered, but its facilities for ventilation and heating. In the con struction of those cells, all the improvements which modern science—represented by such men as M. GAY-LUSSAC, PECLET, POUII.LET, and DUMAS— could suggest, had been adopted. Experiments had been tried as to the exact quantity of air which was necessary for each cell—the Committee had shut up one of their members in the cell—(Laughter)—and had endeavoured to ascertain, by the most delicate pro ceedings of chemical analysis, to whAt degree of ven tilation it was necessary to arrive in order b obtain a perfectly pure:air. It was found that their object was more than attained by giving to each prisoner a cell of 10 cubic metres (about 123- English feet). M. DE LA ROCUEJAQUELIN may be certain,' said the Hon. Member, that the ventilation of those cells, which he had so loudly exclaimed against, is far superior to his own bed-room—(Laughter)--is certainly better than that of mine—(Laughter)—and in comparison superior to that of this Chamber.'—(Loud and con tinued laughter.) Not only, continued the -Hon. Member, had excellent means of ventilation been em ployed, but an apparatus had been invented to verify the state of the air at any period. In fact, every pos sible precaution had been taken to render the pri soners' cells perfectly well aired." This statement seemed to convince all but M. DE LA ROCISEJAQUELIN, and the discussion on the clauses continued. Indeed from all accounts, the reforms to be ijitroduced by the Bill will be of great benefit. The chief prison in Paris, called La Force, will cost 3,000,000 f. (200,0001.), and each cell is to be more than 12 feet square, and of the same height. The domosticiintelligence is des titute of interest. The Phare of Bayonne states, from Madrid, that one of the measures on which the late Ministry was deliberating, and which ►ill probably be adopted by the new Cabinet, is the restoration t 3 the clergy of a portion of the Church property remaining unsold— the pensions which were allotted to them when the Church property was taken by the State, being very irregularly paid—and the re-establishment of the Four per Cent. tax, voted by the Cortes in 1839 in substitution of tithes. This measure is said to be in sisted upon by the PorE, as the preliminary condi tion of a renewal of the relations of the Court of Rome with the Spanish Government. The Journal des Debals gives the following biogra plical sketch of the members composing the new Cabinet : " All the Ministers have professed under the Regency of Maria Christina, as well as under that of Espartero, constitu tional moderado principles, and were at the head of the par liamentary party which was formed after the fall of the Duke de la Victoria. All have already filled high functions in the State, and three amongst them have been Ministers at various periods, under the constitutional regime. General Narvaez, President of the Council and Minister of War, acquired a great reputation during the civil war, in fighting against Don Carlos. It was he who succeeded in reaching and beat ing General Gomez in Andalusia. He also pacified the pro vince of La Mancha, by creating, in a short space of time, a fine army of reserve. General Narvaez has sat several times in the Cortes as a Deputy and a Senator. Without being a brilliant orator, he has great facility in speaking, and at the time of the discussions on the Queen's majority and the accu sation against M. Olozaga, he often spoke in the Senate, where he was always listened to with favour. The Marquis de Vilma, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was brought up at the Royal School of Artillery, and followed in his youth his mili tary career in that body, which in the midst of civil wars and popular risings has always preserved its old reputation for ca pacity, and attachment to order and the monarchy. Under the absolute Government M. de Viluma was persecuted for his liberal opinions, and resided at Florence for many years as an emigrant. His firm character, and the uprightness of his intentions, caused him to be , named Political Chief of Madrid during the Ministry of Martinez de la Rosa. After that period he was made a senator, and always showed an elevation of views, and.a strictness of political principles, which gained for him general esteem. Notwithstanding his repug nance, the orders of the Queen and the solicitations of his friends, had induced him to accept the post of Minister Pleni potentiary of Spain at London, where he has scarcely arrived. M. Mon, 111inister of Finance, was the colleague of M. Torreno, as Deputy for the province of Asturias, and a strict friendship has always united him to that statesman. M. Mon had already succeeded as Finance Minister to M. de Torreno in the Cabinet of Count d'Ofalia, and there gave proofs of talent. His probity is acknowledged even by his bitterest enemies. M. Mon is one of the cleverest speakers in the Cortes. He is known for the energy and vivacity of his character, and for an eminently practical knowledge of business. M. Pidal, Minister of the Interior, is M. Mon's intimate friend and brother- in-law. He professes the same political prir.ciples, and they have always fought under the same colours. M. Pidal, a magistrate of integrity and information, was the last Pre • sident of the Cortes. It was he whom the Queen called to the Palace on Olozaga's affair, and he showed in that de plorable crisis a great impartiality as well as an extreme re- I serve. M. Mayans, an esteemed magistrate, was Minister of Justice under the Ministry of Gonzalez Bravo, and he made great efforts to re-establish order in the law courts, and to ameliorate the condition of the clergy. He got several Bishops recalled from exile, and sought with zeal to bring about a reconciliation with the Court of Rome. He preserves in the new Ministry the place which he had in the Cabinet of Golizalez Bravo. General Armero, Minister of the Marine and the Colonies, rendered an important service to the cause of the Queen, by disembarking on the coast, and fighting with success in the memorable night which decided the deliverance of Bilboa in 1837. Espartero, witness of his bravery and intelligent activity, recompensed him after the triumph, and made a friend of him. When the struggle against ,Espartero was declared, General Armero was at Seville, and he was one of the first who placed himself at the head of the insurrection in favour of the Queen. Appointed Governor of that city, he was of great assistance to General Figueras, who had the chief command, and he exhibited, during this crisis, the same firmness that he had before given so many proofs of. He was, under the last Cabinet, Captain- General of Seville."

Hansler, W. Leverton Donaldson, Esq., George Dodd, Esq., C. Barry Baldwin, Esq., Thomas' W.

COWES ISLE 'OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESFONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. The annual general meeting of the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron takes place at the Thatched House Tavern to-morrow (Saturday), when there are nearly twenty candi dates to be balloted for, for members and honorary members, and the whole business of the season to be arranged, the num ber of cups to be sailed for, &c. We have no doubt that the manner in which her Majesty's visit to Cowes is to be noticed by the Royal Yacht Squadron will be discussed. NonmsCASTLE.—So many stories are told that there is no knowing what to believe, but We think we are correct in stating that Norris Castle was yesterday sold to her Majesty for 60,000/. The inquiries about houses at Cowes are out of number; the number of houses really taken very few. THE DECORATIVE WORKS FOR THE NEW PALACE AT WESTMINSTER.—During the week the public have been admitted gratuitously to the exhibition of the decorative designs and compositions at King-street, St. James's, which have been sent in pursuant to the notices issued by her Ma jeety's Commissioners on the Fine Artsinfurtherance of their object for ornamenting the new palace at Westminster. In the course of the previous fortnight admission could be ob tained only by payment of a shilling each person. It has not been generally known that the doors are now open free to the. public; and in consequence there have been but few visitors. It has been arranged by her Majesty's Commissioners, that except on Saturdays and levee days, all classes may view the exhibition, the hours being from nine o'clock in the morning till seven at night. HIJNGERFORD SUSPENSION-BRIDGE. yesterday morning the workmen commenced placing the tackling by which the chains are to be carried over the piers, and before two o'clock, had succeeded in carrying a length of Smith's patent wire rope from the platf o rm on the Surrey side, over The disc u s s i on i n t h e F renc h Ch am b er o f D eput i es the first pier to the Dolphin, in the centre of the river. At was a little enlivened on Tuesday by a speech of M. an early hour this morning the line was carried over to the pier on the Ilungerford side, and continued to the shore. ARAGO. The Marquis DE LA ROCREJAQUELIN on . When eight lengths of this rope shall have been carried the previous day. had made an attack on the m bem ers across the river, arrangements will be made to convey over - • , the massive and elegant iron chains, and the whole is ex of the Committee oppoulted to superintend the co n - ' petted to be completed in about two months. Madrid papers of the 2d instant have been re cgived. In some of them it is stated that the fall of thQ Ministry was brought about in consequence of their demanding the suspension of the sale of the pro perty of the secular clergy, which had not already been disposed of. Two Ministerial journals declare, from authority, that there is no truth in the state ment ; but they do not condescend to add more. The anniversary of the rising at Madrid against the French, in 1808, was celebrated on the 2d by solemn services in most of the churches, and the Bourse remained closed. THIS DAY'S NEWS. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the new trial paper to-day. No case of any public interest came on during the morning. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) ELIOT V. ELLIS AND HICKS, PARISH OFFICERS OF THE CLERK- EN WELL WORKHOUSE. In this case Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Barstow, and Mr. Chambers were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Warren were for the defendants. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the case. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, who is an attorney, against the defendants, one of them being the master of the Clerkenwell workhouse, and the other one of the relieving officers, for illegally confining and detaining him in the workhouse. It appeared that on the 2d of December, 1842, the plaintiff, who resided in Bi unswick-street, Barnsburv road, Islington, was confined as a person of unsound mind, and on the 6th of December he was brought before Mr. Greenwood, the magistrate. The evidence of the plaintiff's unsound state of mind was that of one of the war. rant officers of the Court, who, on going to kis house to serve a warrant, found him perfectly naked, except that he had a blanket thrown over him, and was reading from a Bible which was fastened to the wall, with great violence of language and gesture. When brought before the Court, however, he was asked by the parish surgeon Mr. Semple, some questions on the subject of Bibles, but replied that such questions were irrelevant to the subject. He allowed he had six or eight Bibles in different languages, and that the Duke of Sussex had the largest collection of any man in England. The magistrate, not thinking that there was sufficient ground for his detention, refused to interfere, and the plaintiff withdrew.. He now brought the present action against the parish officers for his illegal imprisonment and detention. Evidence was called on the part of the plaintiff to show that he was perfectly sane. It• is probable the case will not be concluded to-day. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY. (Sittings at Nisi Frius, before the Loup CIIIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) WEEKS V. ROBERTS. This was a solicitor's action to recover 431.. the amount of a bill of costs. The plaintiff Weeks is a solicitor carrying on business in Chancery-lane, and the defendant is a labourer residing at Tyddyen Galle, in the Island of Anglesea. It appeared that the child of the defendant Roberts was entitled to a small property in right of her mother, deceased. Roberts, as next of kin, filed a bill in Chancery to recoverthe property, and employed as his solicitor in the matter Henry Rumsey Williams, of Carnarron, who agreed to manage the business on the defendant's undertaking to remunerate him for his services when he ' recovered the property. Rumsey Williams then engaged the plaintiff Weeks as his agent in London to attend to, the suit. In July, 1841, the suit still pending, Rumsey Williams died, and the plaintiff Weeks shortly after wrote to the deceased's clerk, Hugh Wil liams, to say that before the approaching Michaelmas term he should require a retainer in this, among other suits in which he then acted as agent for Williams. Subsequently Weeks wrote to demand 201. OR account for carrying on the suit, and Williams wrote in reply to explain the terms on which the suit was originally commenced and continued for Roberts, and stating that Roberts was a poor man who could not advance any such sum as 20/., but that the plaintiff Weeks would be paid the amount of his charges as soon as the property was recovered. Subsequently the conduct of the cause came into the hands of a solicitor named Rous, and then the plaintiff Weeks brought the present action. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Atherton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Martin for the defendant. Evidence to prove the above-mentioned state of things having been adduced, Mr. MARTIN submitted that no case had been made out for the plaintiff. The CHIEF BARON said he did not wish to non-suit the plaintiff. as he thought there was some evidence to go to the Jury; but he would give leave to the defendant to move to have the plaintiff mon-suited. Mr. MARTIN said that Weeks knew that he could only be paid out of the estate when possession was recovered, and that he would then be paid. The Loan CHIEF BARON having summed up, the Jury, after a few moments' deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) INFANTICIDE. —Julia Elizabeth Scales, aged 19, was in dicted for the wilful murder, on the 22d of March last, of a female child. of which she had been lately delivered. Mr. E. Platt 'appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Doane defended the prisoner. The circumstances of this case have very recently been fully before the public in our police report, when the pri soner was examined before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth -street police-office. The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) ExTErrsivz SEIZURE.—Four men, named White Dixon, Lowne, and Redman, and a woman named Stanley, were charged with being engaged in the manufacture of glass in a private and unentered place. An excise officer stated that from information he received he went on the preceding night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, accompanied by some policemen, to a house in Kent street, in which an extensive trade in illicit glass was carried on. When they approached the place, one of the defendants, who was on the watch, gave the signal to his companion, who obeying it ran out the back way and got into an old woman's house in the neighbourhood, when they were all afterwards discovered in bed and pretended to be asleep. They were all taken into custody, and the officer, in describing the circum stances of the seizure, said that he never saw a more com plete manufactory for the purpose of carrying on an extensive trade in illicit glass. He found two pots full of liquid metal, four blowpipes, besides a quantity of manganese and other ingredients used in the manufacture of glass. Them were also discovered an immense quantity of bottles and decan ters, of various sizes, all of which were seized. The defendant, in answer to the charge, endeavoured to induce a belief that they lodged in the house where they were found, and had no connexion with the glass-house. Mr. Tnatm—But what have you to say to your clothes being found in the factory where the work was going on ? The prisoners made a vague reply to the question ; and the Magistrate inflicted a penalty of 30/. on each of the defend ants, and, in default of payment, sentenced them to be im prisoned for three months to hard labour. THE MURDER AT BATTERSEA. WANDSWORTH.—(THIS DAY.) This being the day appointed for the examination and committal of the man, Augustus Dalmas, who stands charged with the murder of Mrs. M'Farlane, on Battersea-bridge, the Magistrate of this Court (Mr. Clive) took his seat at an earlier hour than usual, perhaps with the intention of avoid ing the crowd of persons who tried to gain admittance at eleven o'clock, the usual time of sitting. The witnesses had been previously warned to be in attendance at nine o'clock. Mr. Gilham, from Symond's Inn, was in attendance on the part of the prisoner. The daughter Charlotte Georgiana Dalmas was the first wit ness called. She was accommodated with a chair while giving her evidence, and was placed in such a position as not to be able to see the prisoner at the bar. She stated— I am in, service with a Mr. Patrick, of Montpellier square, Brompton. I saw my father in the middle of the dav • on Monday, the 29th of April. I asked him if he had seen to some property of mine. He had not-called on me, but I met him accidentally-in Mont pellier-square. He said, when I asked him the question, he would attend to it. He also said he was very unhappy, from his anxiety about getting a situation, as he was not sure whether he would get it or not. That was all the conversation that took place, and he then went away. I saw him again the same night between ten and eleven o'clock, when he walked by and coughed as a signal to me. I came out and asked him "how he was?" He did not answer my question, but asked me how I was. He then gave me a pocket -book containing some property of mine. He then wished me good night, and went away. He was very unhappy in his mind. When he went away, I told him I would see him next Morning. Mr. Cure—Did you hare any conversation with him about Mrs. M'Farlane? Witness—No, not that I recollect, although I am more composed now than' I was when the officers came to my bed Mr. CLlVE—Do'you now state, upon your oath, all that was said at both interviews? 'Witness—Yes, Sir, as far as I can recollect. By the Clerk--43oth interviews took place on the same day —Monday. Mr. CuvE—You now state that you cannot recollect that anything further took place ? N 6, I cannot —Did your fa ther walk with you arm-in-arm at the first interview ? No, Sir.—Did he touch you anywhere ? No, sir. —Have you ever complained that your hand was cut ? No, sir. By the Clerk—Was it cut P—NO, Sir. - Mr. CravE—ls there any mark on your hand P—No, Sir. (There was a slight scratch on her finger.) You are quite certain that the name of Mrs. M'Farlane was not mentioned on that day P—lt was not. I have nevermade any statement at variance with that which I have made this .day, that I. ara aware of. But I have - int been in a right state of mind. By Mr. Gilham—lf there .had been cuts on your hand would they not have been there' now?—Yes, Sir. Are there any cuts on it P—No, Sir. What I haVe before stated I stated when in an excited state of mind. The next witness was Ellen Gibson. She merely deposed to the fact that the prisoner and her sister (the deceased) were very intimate, and that he was in the habit of meeting her frequently. George French, a boy, aged twelve years, after being in formed upon the nature of the obligations of an oath, stated that the prisoner had called, at his (the prisoner's) lodgings late on the night of the . murder, and that he had gone out again. He knew him by his step. There was another lodger there, but he was confident the prisoner was the man, for ho (witness) knew his step well. Sarah Ann -Miles, ' daughter of Dalmas' landlord, gave similar evidence. Augusta Dalmas, the prisoner's youngest daughter, was the next called, b u t h er s t a t ement on l y proved that her isither and Mrs. ll'Farlane had been together at Mr. D'Oyley's, in Bolton row, at nine o'clock on the night of the murder, and supposed that they h a d l e ft t oge th er to go towar d s h ome. Police-sergeant Lynes, 5 V.—l was on duty in Bolton-row, on the night of Monday, the 29th of April, about half-past eight, and observed, about twenty minutes to nine, a man walking opjosite, and looking up very anxiously at Mr. D'Oyley's, No. 9, in that place. I went round to the corner of Black-place, and watched him, and as the chimes were going three-quarters pact eight, I sAv a woman come out of the house, and the man crossed over and met her. They then went arm-in-arm in the direction of the Queen's Elm. I knew that the man was the prisoner. The female looked a smart-made woman, about the middle size. Elizabeth Shipley, barthaid at the Stag, Brompton. The Stag is nearly half a mile from Bolton-row. I did not know the deceased by - name. I observed the prisoner at the bar on the evening of Monday, the 29th of April, at a little after nine, in company with a lady. I had seen them, in company several times before. They stood at the bar, and called for a quartern of gin and cloves; which I•gave them. They stood about five minutes, and then left the house. I do not know in what direction they went. Elizabeth Shipley re-called—The female was a middle aged p,rson, very genteel and stout, and about the middle size. She had on a straw bonnet and figured light gown. Sergeant Lynes re-called—The female's gown was striped, or spotted—inclined to be dark; and the shawl, as far as I remember, was dark, with a border. Cress-examined—l read my own evidence at the inquest. I . slid not know that I was to come forward to prove the dress on this occasion. Mary Ann Williamson—Lives at the old toll-house. I am a dress-maker. • I remember Monday, the 29th o f A pr il . About ten I arrived at home, and abou,t twenty minutes before wao at the corner of Duke-Street,' and *within A few yards of the Chelsea end of Battersea-bridge. I saw a man and woman standing at the corner of the bridge. I will not swear positively, but I believe the prisoner to be the man. I did not, and should not, know the woman. She had on a light gown, dark shawl, and either a straw or Tuscan bonnet. Cross -examined—He was to the best of my recollection dressed in a surtont coat and broad-brimmed hat. It was between light and dark. I did not know that he was to stand at the bar to-day. I was standing at the corner of Duke-street for ten minutes, and saw several, perhaps half a= dozen or more, men add women passing at that time. I won't swear that I have heard since this investigation commenced that the prisoner had a broad' brimmed hat on. The person I observed was standing still, the others moved on. They were about 30 yards oft: By Mr. Cuvx—They stood at one corner and I stood at the other, consequently there was only the width of the road between us. Cross-examined-4 did not notice the prisoner's whiskers, nor stock; he had a dark waistcoat on. Can't say whether he had a shirt collar up or not. Had dark trousers on. Elizabeth Neningham was standing at the White Hart, Chelsea, on the night of Monday, 29th ult., and saw a man and woman passing. The female had on a straw !mina, light dress, black shawl with border to it ; and I heard her say to the man who had a dark frock coat on and broad-brimmed hat, " I can't stay out to• night." Saw the female at two o'clock on the Tuesday following the murder at her own house. She was then dead, but I knew,her, and she was the person I had seen in Duke. street. • Cross-examined; but nothing was elicited to shake the evidence given to-day, or or. former occasions. She added, however, that, after seeing the prisoner and deceased go in direction of the bridge, Mr. Messenger and his wife (two witnesses) came out of the White Hart, and followed to the bridge immediately after. Richard Parsons, licensed beer-shop keeper, King's-road, keeps the White Hart. On the night of 29th April, a man and woman came in and drank at my bar. Should know the woman, but not the man. The woman had on a grey boa, and a cottage straw bonnet, with a dark shawl bordered. I saw the face of deceased on Sunday, the sth of May, as she lay in her coffin, and I think it was the same person whom I saw in my shop. I cannot say what was the man's appear ance, as he turne4 and walked up the passage while she payed for the beer. I saw the left side of his head, and think I should know him again. Mr. CiavE—Just leave the Court for a little The witness did so. The prisoner was then ordered to stand among the persons in the body of the Court, and the witness, having been again admitted, was desired to point out the man he supposed.to be the person who had been in his house with the deceased. The witness looked round the room, and, after a careful ex • amination, pointed to the man 'Jaime as the person. The prisoner was again placed within the bar. 'Witness cross-examined—Did not read the description of the prisoner in the newspapers. He had no great coat, in far as I could judge, but would not swear to it. I think his coat was buttoned up. Am not sure that it was a dress or a frock coat. Have not read the newspapers, but have heard that there was a doubt as to what coat he had on. Thinks, as far as he could see, that the man had on a satin waistcoat. Could not say what was round his neck, but thinks it_was a fancy silk stock. I was not at the inquest, and have not seen the prisoner since that day—the day of his being at my bar —up to the present time. Edmund Rogers, waiter at the White Hart, Duke-street, Chelsea, said on Monday night, the 29th April, at half-past eight y he was standing with Elizabeth Meninham, and ob served a man and woman passing. The woman had a light dress with a dark print, a black shawl with a light border. She had on a straw bonnet. The man had a dark coat and trousers. I should not know the man again if I saw him. Cross-examined —Elizabeth Meningham did not draw my attention to the parties. She had come to ask after her hus band. I did not hear the persons say anything. Meningham said nothing then, but I have spoken to her twice since ; the first time was on Tuesday morning. She then said she could swear that it was the man and woman who had passed on Monday night. Elizabeth Meningham followed the man dad woman to wards the bridge ; she told me next day that she had gone over the bridge and seen the woman. I heard the man say, " Will you go there to-night," and she said " No, I can't stop but to-night." I mentioned these words at the station house. I noticed that the coat was a dark blue or a black, but I cannot say whether it was a frock coat or not. I then, after they passed me, went in doors. Mrs. Meningham did not mention the hour, and never heard at all what time it was. I did not come out again till after eleven o'clock. I did not notice whether the bonnet was a large or a small one. I have heard many persons mention the female's dress. I could not describe any dress so parti cularly as the deceased female's ; perhaps th e reason was , that I thought the deceased's words were curious, and I paid more attention to her. By Mr. CLivE—l noticed Mr. and Mrs. Meningliam leave our house after that hour. I did not notice Mrs.Meningham's dress. By Mr. Gilham—Did not notice whether Mrs. Meningham had a boa, and cannot describe any part of her dress. Charlotte Dalmas was recalled—l am the prisoner's own daughter. He has only been married once. I was often afraid my father meditated self-destruction, as he was very unhappy. I will swear that nothing was said that night about poisoning, and that I never said anything about poison. He did not say to me that night what he had been doing before he called upon me. Mr. CLIVE said he should be obliged to remand the in quiry, as the time of the Court was limited. He would, how ever, hear the remainder of the evidence to be adduced to morrow, to which time the Court was adjourned. The prisoner evinced, throughout the whole examination, the most callous indifference, and, in fact, seemed a mere ob server, and not the principal person concerned in the pro. ceedings. HONE YAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool Market yesterday were 7,000 bales, at firm prices, speculators taking 1,000 American ; 200 Bahia sold at 544:1 to 6d ; 100 Pernam at 50 to 6d; 200 Maranham at sid to bid; 350 Egyptian at 7d to ; 500 Surat at 3hd to 4/d; and the rest American at 4d to 7d per lb.—Shares remained firm : Birmingham and Gloucester, 94i ; Birmingham Quarter, 27* ; Brighton, 44i ; South-Western, 85; North Midland Half, 45i ; Paris and Lyons, 3; Do. and Orleans, 38* ; South-Eastern, 38; Do. New, 12. , There are no Colonial arrivals in the City this morning. The Government of the United States is exercising its ut most power to extend its commercial and political influence, as the following communication, addressed to the Department of State at Washington, will show " A Minister Plenipotentiary from the Government of the Republic of Paraguay, near the Government of the Argentine Confederation, Senor Don Andres Gil, has arrived at this city, and has called on me to say 'that his Government had ordered him to call on the agent of -the Government of the United States resident at Buenos Ayres, and to express in their name the most friendly feeling towards the Government of the United States, and to say that any citizen of the United States who may visit Paraguay will be located and consi dered as on the same footing as a citizen of Paraguay. Also to express the wishes of that Government to see the flag of the United States in their waters. Senor Gil, in accordance with his instructions, has requested me to forward to th e GoVernment of the United States this expression of the frindly feeling and wishes of his Government. "Paraguay is the centre of this continent, and probably the most fertile part of it. For thirty years, closed from any communication with its neighbours, this country has been free from civil war, and now numbers nearly one million of inhabitants, and has eighty thousand men enrolled, mostly militia; being bounded by Bolivia on the north-west, the provinces of the Argentine Confederation on the west and south, and by Brazil on the east and north- east. Paraguay must soon exercise an important influence in the politics of the South American States, who have been in one continual civil war for many years past. " Paraguay would.receive from the United States a large amount of manufactured cottons and flour, giving in re turn dry hides, coffee, indigo, &c. The English, French, and Brazilian Governments have appointed agents to visit Paraguay. The only one who has proceeded on his mission is Mr. Gordon, Secretary of Legation of her Bri tannic Majesty's Embassy at Rio de Janeiro. The agent of the Government of the United States at this place is the only foreign agent that Senor . Gil was directed officially to call upon. He informs me that a Congress of Deputies from all parts of the Provinces is now in session at the capital of the Republic, the city of Assumption, for the purpose of framing a Constitution. "The present Government consists of three Consuls, who hold their offices until a Constitution is adopted." . The market for Stock has scarcely been so firm to-day, although the Commissioners took 30,0001. Consols at 994. For Money and the-Account the present value is scarcely so high, but still the supply of Stock is scarcely equal to the demand. South Sea Stock has advanced to 1151. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is from 765. to 78s.
