E JP 1R IT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The agitation attempted to be got up in the agricultural districts for the repeal of the malt tex is likely to prove abortive. The tenant-farmers— b ware of the motives which actuate the landlords in 1 rompting them to meet and petition for the removal !e.' thg. tax--decline to move. The Essex Herald—a j )arAil which devotes its advocacy to the landed inte srests---eomplains in its leading article of to-day, that " the movement for the repeal of the malt-tax does r,ot proceed with that unanimity by which alone success can be secured." . . . "It is difficult," adds this van of the Essex squirearchy, " to understand why etus should be so; for, even admitting, as some con iend, that the repel of the tax would do little benefit to the farmers, it would, at all events, inflict no injury I , pon them." The conclusion is not quite so obvious as tno Essex Herald seems to imagine. the malt-tax pro, c uces an amount of annual revenue exceeding any sur f lus which will be at the disposal of the Govern ) lent. To remove that tax would be to remove a :single tax, in which one class of the community—and that a very small class—is immediately interested, at the expense of the great mass of the nation, from whom that surplus has been wrung by means of an impost at once odious and oppressive. It would do worse than this : it would perpetuate that impost. !Me amount of the malt duty subtracted from the revenue must be supplied. A substitute must be provided. Sir Robert Peel has already shown that his financial policy does not allow of giving up a pre sent sowece of revenue, however inequitable, to de pend on a contingent supply. He will have his t i lui-,2 pro quo in whatever scheme of finance he reay submit to the House of Commons. The farmer end his labourers would partake of the relief which e, diminution of the high duties on articles of ge neral consumption will afford to the nation at large. The removal of the income-tax would be also a direct saying to the farmer. He would be also indi -1 eetly benefited by the relief which the rest of the tommtinity would obtain by the removal of the im post; seeing those who now contribute the respective quotas to the income-tax, would, on its removal, have the snore to lay out in agricultural produce, and prices would be raised in proportion to the increased demand. These considerations have evidently been taken into the account by the farmers. The result is, that, as a class, &ley have declined moving in the matter of 'salt-tax repeal. Norfolk is more extensively inte rested than any other county in this question—seeing a greater breadth of barley is sown in Norfolk than La any other agricultural district. The Norfolk far risers met on Friday last to consider and determine the course they should, as a body, adopt on this question. The following letter, addressed to the meeting from the Central Agricultural Protection Society, and signed by the Secretary, was read : its reasoning and advice were concurred in by the Nor folk farmers. The meeting adjourned without taking eey steps in the matter. " I will at once state to you that, with reference to the repeal of the malt-tax, the Committee having had their attention called to it some time ago, came to the determination of not raising that question on their own part, and of not recommending the agitation of it by any of the local protection societies. " They felt that to begin to agitate for the repeal of the malt duties so soon after the formation of the society, on the virtual understanding that its object was the maintenance of the present scale of protection to agri culture, under its existing burdens, would involve an aggressive policy for which they were not prepared. The prospects, too, of the property-tax being soon d , ducted from the items of the revenue of the country, d d not seem to justify the remission of so large a lelurce of income as the malt duties, unless some substi torte were proposed, of the nature of which, however, no unanimity appeared to exist either in the committee or the country." This pretext for perpetuating the odious income tex is, we presume, at an end. After this decisive e Anion from those best qualified to know what is best for their own interests, he will be a bold man who will rise in Parliament, and propose the repeal of the malt-tax, as called for by the tenant-farmers, at the rice of retaining every other item of taxation, in cluding the property and incorne-tax-, on their pre sent scale. ' STANDARD.—It is no exaggeration to say that W 3 are actually overwhelmed with letters on the sub je:st of the distressing differences in the Church If - we may judge from the nature arri the enormous in crease of our correspondence, the nation thinks of nothing else but the attempt to enforce by authority 'what are practically innovations in public worship, and thinks upon the subject with an intensity of inte rest of which we have no recollection. Often when occupied in the painful task of perusing our volu nenpus supply of letters, and trying to make a selec tion of the most temperate among them for publication -often when occupied in this truly afflicting task— N; hich lasts daily for many hours—do we wish that w s could delegate the duty to some member of t 1 e Right Rev. Bench. There, a Bishop might see --what it is to be feared their Lordships are not liliely to see, until it shall be too late—what is the real feeling of the country, and the degree of ,vehemence with which the country repro bates the late proposition to enforce innovation by authority. The innovations were an object of dislike to inane, but of indifference or mere contempt to the m ijorit7y, until mithority was spoken of. The hint that they will bs enforNel, has, as every one who knows the el aracter of English Protestants ought to have anti c;isated, now raised the question to a question of the fi.st order, a question of religious liberty, and has this kindled a flame, in which the temporal esta blishment of the Church will he consumed, if some tiling be not done, and that promptly, to extinguish it. It is one of the most alarming symptoms of the pre s nt agitation, that as it invades the people in wider and still wider circles, it raises new topics of discon teet ; this is what always happens in such a case ; what has happened before in the history of our Church, ti what will happen again, if the agitation be .11-t composed by a timely arrangement. Four- Atha of the letters relating to the Church differences that we have received, do not apply -Ao the surplice question, though that unhappy ques lion it is that has provoked them. We will not, how .ever, as long as it is in our power to abstain, be stertiet to the re-opening more of those wounds under ....kbl7'h the Church sunk before, than that one which -we find already open. This explanation, we hope, will . - setisfy more than a hundred correspondents who have addressed us upon other matters—all, however. :connected with supposed intentions to innovate withoritatively in Church affairs. We confine our pes.*s for the present to the one topic. It is asserted by . one, whose opinion we value highly, that the :se mon is part of the Communion Service. We re 4pectfully dissent from this opinion ; and we could •wi , h the right reverend person who has avowed it to apply his powerful mind to the question, and we are confident that he would see his 'error. In placing any intellectual exercises in , the relation of whole and part, the first consi- Aeration is the homogeneousness of the exercises ~ s. • • en question, a consideration greatly snore im portant than the consideration of order or even of :time. The Communion Service is distinctly described in the Prayer-book, as " the order for the adminis 4ration of the Lord's Supper or Holy Commu nion." Now what, let us ask it with reverence has a sermon necessarily to do with this solemn, rite ? A sermon was no doubt originally an expo nition of the Gospel or Epistle appointed to be ~,it:s'ld in what was formerly called " the second eliserVice" (a name certainly better suited to that i)joetion of the Liturgy when no actual communion is i ecelebrated), but the Gospel and Epistle frequently ihave no relation to the Eucharist. This is decisive with us that the sermon is not properly a part of the Communion Service, though it occurs in the time of • -_#e second service, or rather at th e t erm i na ti on o f t h at portion of the second service, which only is retained in use when the Eucharist is not in fact celebrated. That this has been the opinion of nearly the whole . ::!Church clergy, as we as laity, is proved by the 'practice which it is proposed to change by autho rity, at the end of nearly two centuries' use. Mut there are many other arguments all leading to tii) same conclusion ; first, this, which may be called a crucial argument, the Church gives war rant for sermons, without any communion or second service, as at evening worship. The Church also gives warrant for the .atlebration of the holy Communion without a ~ salmon. Again deacons (and in the Universities ...leen laymen) are admitted to preach, but deacons or Aaymen may not minister in the Communion. We, ~for ourselves, though thoroughly convinced that the sermon is properly no part of the Communion Service, . do not, however, attach any importance to the e decision of that question. We see no im portance in the colour of the gown which the clergyman shall wear, either at communion or in the pulpit—provided that the garment be decent, sober, and suet as shall not by novelty or association distract or disturb the minds of worship pers. Let the clergyman wear his white robe in the reading desk and behind the chancel rail, because it is ~. the custom ; and let him wear his black University gown in the pulpit, because that too is the custom ; e • but , were the custom to reverse the colours, or to use 'uniformly the white or black, as the case might be, no human being could object to either upon any rational ground. As to law upon the point, _. surely the law is binding upon the clergy in their . o tynvate lives as in the church ; yet no clergyman, ,ri_e.maanthse.Nrchbishop of Canterbury downward, ever I T esti, of conforming to the minute directions of *then is a c a i ur n io o duans to w:a he c ht , Itihtheeendm, I:eiVesupohnavtehocbaastckosffo; est, .

The path has been already marked out by the Tractarians ; and we know any other church, if ruled by the arbitrary will of men, is as likely to err as Rome. This, we must expect, even did we not see men preparing to import Romish errors ready made, and to import them wholesale. A protest on the side of the people is therefore now a duty, and even the Morning Post itself admits that concession is a duty on the other side :—" We are not for strife on either side, nor do we see the use of insisting upon non-essentials with a high hand so as to give offence. But whatever error there may be in authority going further than occa sion demands, it is a hundred times worse when ignorant prejudice flames out into rebellion against authority, and is favoured and comforted in this mischievous folly by those who pretend to the es pecial patronage of the civil government." We give the paragraph for the sake of the good advice in the beginning of it. We are not aware of the pretenders to the patronage of the Government, we know of no such pretenders. The Government, we believe pa tronises no writers, either in the newspapers or in any other vehicle. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY Y EVENING, DECEMBER 11 1844.

SUGAR—T„-day the business transacted in all de scriptions of West India Sugar was limited, and the rates accepted were rather under those previously quoted for brown and inferior sorts, but good and fine yellow are still fetching full prices on account of the short supply at market. A public sale of 96 hhds 4 tres of Barbadoes went off quietly at a decline in prices of 6d for low and middling, but good and fine sustained the former currency ; tine yellow fetched 64s to 66s 6d, good 61s to 61s 6d, good middling 59s to 60s 6d, middling 55s 6d to 58s 6d, and low heavy 53s to 54s per cwt. The total quantity of Sugar disposed of amounted to only 350 hhds and trcs. REFINED.—To-clay Refined goods were taken spa ringly by the trade ; brown lumps at 71s, and standard lumps 72s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is 29s 6d to 30s per cwt ; there are extensive purchasers rather under these rates for forward delivery, but no sellers are to be met with. MAURITIUS.-The market has presented a firm ap pearance for this description of Sugar, and nearly the whole of 3,436 bags at public sale were taken in at easy rates, good mid yellow at 58s to 583 6d, mid 56s to 575, low 52s to 545, good and fine brown 50s to 51s 6d, mid 48s to 495, low 455, and common to mid grey 52s to 55s per cwt. The stock is on the increase, and the consumption is beginning to be interfered with by the low mid and mid grey and yellow qualities of Bengal Sugar. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon at public sale 1,778 bags of Bengal Sugar were offered, 916 of which consisted of damp brown, a very small part only of which found pur chasers at 42s to 435, and inferior 41s 6d ; the remainder consisted of yellow, and was all sold, but upon rather lower terms, viz., fine at 61s 6d, good 58s to 60s, middling 55s 6d to 56s 6d, damp and washed 50s to 61e. Of Manilla 1,323 bags at public sale were taken in above the value, ordinary grey at 19s, middling 20s to 21s, damp and washed 18s 6d to 19s 6d, damp white 26s per cwt. FOREIGN.-This afternoon the market was better supplied with Foreign Sugar-at public sale 549 chests 176 brls of Rio, and 1,695 boxes of Havannah were offered, the former of sound quality was taken in at the previous value-fine brown at 19s to 19s 6d, good 18s to 183 6d, middling 17s to 17s 6d, low 16e 6d ; the damaged, amounting to 220 pkgs, were sold at rather lower rates, and went at 16s to 18s for ordinary to fine quality. Of the Havannah 607 boxes consisted of white, and were taken in at the full value, flee at 30s, good 295, middling 27s to 28s, and low 27s ; three lots of damaged were however sold at 26s to 28s 6d, the yellow of sound quality was taken in at the full worth, fine at 22s 6d, good 21s to 21s 6d, low to mid 19s 6d to 20s 6d, a few lots damaged were disposed of at 18s 6d to 21s per cwt, being cheaper. MOLASSES.-There has been a good demand for West India, and previous rates are supported, the total quan tity disposed of his amounted to 350 puns since this day week; Trinidad fine at 22s Gd to 24s 6d; St. Kitt's and St. Vincent's 21s to 21s 6d per cwt. Holders show firm ness, and the stock is on the decrease. In East India the transactions are upon a more extended scale, at 14s to 17s per cwt. Cocoa.-Foreign is wanted, but there is still little in the market, and 30s to 33s per cwt is the value. Prices are firm for West India, and there are several purchasers, but the supply is not sufficient for the wants of the trade; none has been offered at auction, the stock is rather less than it was last year at this period. This afternoon at public sale 78 bags of Cocoa shells from Dunkirk were sold at 15s to les per cwt. COFFEE.-This afternoon at public sale 130 casks 257 brls and 787 bags of Rio Coffee were offered ; the sound was all taken in at moderate rates, low middling colory British Plantation kind at 48s to 525, fine fine ord 42s to 455, good and fine ord 27s to 295, ord 26s ; the sea da maged, of which the bulk consisted, was however all disposed of, but at comparatively low prices, 1-t class went at 25s 6d to 31s 6d, 2d class 24s to 28s 6d, 3d class 21s to 24s 6d, Sugar drainage damaged 13s to 31s, sea damaged and repacked 20s to 295, sweepings 18s 6d to 21s 6d. Ceylon moved off slowly by private contract, and at public sale 149 bags were sold at a decline on former rates of is per cwt, good ord went at 51s, and one lot of very good ord 535, sea damaged pea berry 70s. Of Mocha 32 bales were taken in at 65s for low mid mixed greenish, being above the value. 36 bags of Singapore Java were bought in at 45s for fine ord, being above the worth. TEA.-We have still to report a firm market for Tea of all descriptions, and again none has been offered at auction. Congou has been in very good demand here since Tuesday last, and full rates have been paid, espe cially for the common and best descriptions ; ordinary sound has been fetching lOid to 11d, good ordinary Hid to Is, but mid and mid blackish leaf is is id to is 3d, good and fine is 3id to is 7d, Pekoe a vour is 8d to 2s ed per lb.

Other sorts are fetching stiff rates, brightish lest is 4d to Is Bd, and Hyson kind is 9d to 2s sd. Young Hyson is fetching is 9d to 2s 6d for ordinary and good ordi nary, and 2s 8d to 3s 6d for middling . and good. Gun powder at 2s Gd to 3s 6d, and superior 3s 8d to 4s 6d. Imperial 2s 4d to 3s 6d per lb. Scented Orange Pekoe at 3s 4d to 3s sd. Caper at 10d to is 4d. Ia Black Leaf and Flowery Pekoe the transactions are upon a more extended scale upon former terms. Hyson Skin at is to Is 6d per lb. To-day prices underwent no varia tion for Tea, but there was less business doing on account of public sales to the extent of 22,000 pkgs being sud denly declared for Thursday. SPICES.-This afternoon two parcels of Nutmegs, amounting to 50 packages, were offered at public sale and went at a decline on former rates of 2d to 3d. Sin gapore brown went at 3s 3d to 3s 9d, good and fine 3s 10d to 4s 3d, limed 2s ed to 2s 9d ; Penang brown 3s 5d to 3s 6d, mouldy went at 3s 4d, worm-eaten Is to is sd. Of Mace 14 packages were only partly sold at 2s 6d to 2s 9d for middling, and better quality at 3s to 3s 2d, being much cheaper. Of Cloves 4 eases Benchoolen were sold at 2s Id. Pimento met with little attention, and 80 bags at auction were taken at 4id to 4d for good middling quality, being above the value. Pepper was little inquired for-268 begs of Sumatra at auction were sold at 2-4-d to 2id for common light stalky and dusty, being barely_former rates. Rust, BRANDY, AND tiOLLANDS.-Prices have declined Id to Id per gallon for Leeward Island Rum, bat a good business has been transacted, 450 puns having been dis posed of at 2s 30 to 2s 4d per gallon, proof strength Jamaica, at rather lower rates-3s 8d to 4s 2d is the value of 28 to 35 per cent. overproof, and 4s 3d to 6s per gallon for fine and superior qualities; Calcutta not so firm, 2s 2id to 2s 3d having been accepted for some parcels. Demerara upon easier terms, 2s Id having been accepted for 32 per cent overproof, and 3s 2d to 3s 5d for superior qualities. Brandy of common quality is still little wanted, and prices are going down, but for the best sorts there has been a lively demand. Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 2d, puns ss; do, 1839, hhds 4s lid, puns 4s 9d; do, 1840, hhds 4s l Id, puns 4s 9d; do, 1841, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d; do, 1842, hhds 4s 7d, puns 4s sd; do, 1843, hhds 4s sd, puns 4s 3d, common 2s 8d to 3s I Id, and middling to good middling 3s to 3s 10d, Bordeaux common 2s 6d to 2s Bd. Geneva at is 9d to is 10d for shipping, and fine 2s 4d to 3a 6d per gallon. English Corn Spirits at lOs 2d per gallon, nett cash. To-day Rum met with little attention; proof Leewards are 2s 3id, Calcutta 2s 2d, and to arrive Is lid to 2s. Jamaica is dull of sale and prices are drooping; 3s 7d to 4a 4d is the value of ord to good quality. FRUIT.-For Currants prices rule firm, and numerous parcels have been disposed of ; Patras new at 49s to 50s, old 45s to 465, Zante and Cephalonia old 445, and new 47s per cwt. In Raisins of all descriptions numerous purchases have been made ; Valentias at 50s, Denis 40s, Lexie, 38s, Smyrna black 41 s, red 45 s to 475, Eleme 48s to 50s, Sultana 60s, Muscatels 55s to 100 s. Turkey pulled Figs are 45s to 75s per cwt. This afternoon at public sale 8,470 drums of Turkey Figs were sold at 50s to 758. per cwt. RICE.-Previous improved rates are fully supported for Bengal, and it is much wanted, but business has been restricted by private contract in consequence of the scanty supply at market; low white has been fetching lOs 6d to lls, mid Ils 3d to Its 9d, and good to fine 12s to 12s 6d per cwt. To-day Bengal Rice met with ready purchasers, and prices are still on the advance, mid white fetching Its 6d to 12s per cwt. SALTPETRE.-To-day rough was inquired for, but stiffer rates being required operated against business, and 400 bags of Calcutta at public sale were taken in at 25s for common damp grey 12i to 111 per cent. refraction, being Is per cwt above the value. CocuiNEAL.-There has been a considerable increase in the demand since we last wrote, and an advance in prices of Id has occurred. OILS.-The demand has increased for all descriptions of common Fish Oils, and a good business has been transacted at 341 to 341 103 for pale Seal. 301 to 331 for yellow and straw, 291 to 291 lOs for brown, and at 291 to 341 for cons to fine Southern.

Reaumur (23 Fahrenheit) below zero. In December, 1843, the greatest degree of cold was only 2 deg. 2 min. (1 deg. 8 min. Reaumur) below zero. The greatest degree of cold since 1833 was in the night of the 16th December, 1840—viz., 12 deg. 9 min. (10 deg. 3 min. of Reaumur.) BRUSSELS, DEC. 7.—Last night the mercury in the centigrade thermometer fell to 8i deg. Resumer (16k deg. Fahrenheit) below zero. Since sunrise a strong north-east wind has increased the intensity of the cold. The navigation in the canals from Brussels to Wile brook and Charleroy is completely stopped, and also the canal of Louvain. The ice is already several inches thick. The rivers Dyle and Scone are begin ing to freeze. The arrival at Brussels, of Mr. Deffandis, is not without importance. It has been long known that Mr. Deffandis would be commissioned to stipulate for the interest of France, in the commercial negotia tions that might be opened between the two coun tries. This step, therefore, whether it has been taken at the leave of our Cabinet, or spontaneously by the Cabinet of the Tuileries, shows that notwithstanding all that has been said, the treaty of the Ist of Sep tember has not caused any serious difference between France and Belgium : M. Deffandis may easily con vince himself during his stay at Brussels that, on concluding the treaty of Sept. 1, Belgium by no means renounced its desire to form a close commercial connexion with France as far as the interests even of Franco itself permitted. __ .

PETERSBCROII, Nov. 26.—8 y an Imperial ukase directed to the Minister of Finance, the Em peror, considering the expenses necessary in 1845 for the construction of the railroad between Peters burgh and Moscow, orders that a loan of twelve millions of silver roubles shall be opened abroad, on the same basis as that of the third Four per Cent. Loan. The inscription of 500 silver roubles each are to he divided in 184 equal sections and to bear interest from the Ist of August this year. The repayment commences in August, 1846. The capital destined for this purpose is, in the year 1846, 125,000 roubles, and in the following year, 300,000 silver roubles, in 2i per cent. of the nominal capital of the loan. The realisation of the loan is entrusted to Baron Stieglitz, in Petersburgh. HAMBURGU, DEC. 6.—The mercury in the ther mometer is now constantly below zero.

THE LIEUTENANT-GOYERNOR OP GUERNSEY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. BURGE, on behalf of the petitioners, spoke at great length, and having concluded his address, Mr. S. WORTLEY followed on the same side, but not haying finished shortly atter four o'clock, when their Lordships rose, the further consideration of the case was postponed till Thursday morning at ten o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 10. (Nisi Prius Sittings before the Lord Chief Baron and Special Juries.) SCOTT V. O'BRIEN. This was an action for an assault. The parties are well known to the sporting world, and, judging from the crowded state of the Court, the case seemed to excite considerable interest amongst the persons connected with the turf. Mr. COCKBURN (with whom were Mr. Hance and Mr. James) stated the facts of the plaintiff's case very nearly as they afterwards appeared in evidence. He added, however, that the plaintiff, smarting under the wrong done him by the defendant, who was greatly his su perior in physical force, on the day on which the assault occurred sent a friend to the defendant to demand that satisfaction which, however improper, it was not unusual under such circumstances for one gentleman to receive from another. Mr. O'Brien declined meeting Mr. Scott, whether upon any assumed ground of superiority, or because he was opposed to that relic of barbarism, duelling, ho (the Learned Counsel) did not pretend to say. Under those circumstances, Mr. Scott brought his action, and he had no doubt that a jury of gentlemen would afford him ample redress for his outraged feelings. Mr. Langley was the first witness called.—He de posed that he was outside Westminster Hall on the Ist of July last, when the famous " Running Rein case" was tried, in which Mr. Wood was the plaintiff, and Colonel Peet the defendant. His attention was attracted by the noise occasioned by a scuffle, and ho observed Mr. O'Brien following and striking at Scott, whom he was driving backwards. When witness first saw them both parties were on their legs, but on a sudden he missed Scott, and pre sently after, pressing his way forward, beheld Scott, with one knee in the gutter and the other on the kerb-stone. Scott was holding up his hand as if to defend himself, and whilst in this position, O'Brien hit him deliberately in the face and other parts of the body. Scott was knocked down. Some friends afterwards assisted him to rise, and he was put into a cab and drove off. O'Brien had a blue ring on his finger encircled with gold. Scott's face was much cut about the nose, his eyes were swollen, and he appeared a good deal hurt. O'Brien is a much taller, stronger, and younger man than Scott. Cross-examined—Witness did not see the beginning of the affray. Did not know that Scott bet on commis sion for Running Rein. Knew that on the day of the trial there was betting going on outside Westmiaster Hall as to the result. Captain Hugh Brabazon Higgins stated that he was outside Westminster Hall on the Ist of July. There were a great number of persons assembled connected with the turf. Witness was walking with Captain Garth when Mr. Scott joined them. It was about two o'clock in the after noon when witness observed O'Brien ap proaching. He seemed so much excited that witness re marked to Captain Garth that he looked very warlike. As O'Brien passed witness, Captain Garth and Scott, he said, addressing Captain Garth, " How can you walk with that wretch ?" Witness had no doubt the observa tion was meant for Scott. Scott immediately re plied by saying, " What do you mean, you thief?" O'Brien then attempted to take a stick out of Captain Garth's hand, but did not succeed. lie then rushed at Scott, struck him several blows, and knocked him down. Scott got up with an intention of defending himself, but was immediately knocked down again. In fact he had no chance -whatever. Witness observed O'Brien take plaintiff by the hair of the head, and inflict on him se veral blows whilst plaintiff was stretched at full length on the fiagway. There was no further provocation for the assault than what witness had stated. Witness saw plaintiff in a day or two after, and his face still bore marks of the assault. Witness had heard there was a dispute between plaintiff and defendant, which was re ferred to Captain Rous, who had decided in Scott's fa vour. Witness had also heard that defendant had given the plaintiff the guarantee of a most respectable gentle man for payment of his debt. Was not walking arm-in arm with the plaintiff when the assault took place. Knew plaintiff, but not intimately. Had dined with him once. Also knew defendant by meeting him at Tattersall's and elsewhere. Scott was at Tattersall's the evening of the day on which the assault was committed. Mr. Travers, the eminent surgeon, was called to prove that he saw the plaintiff shortly after the accident, when his face exhibited some severe contusions. By the LORD CHIEF BlRON—Witness did not know that the plaintiff was going to Tattersall's the same evening, or else he should have advised him, as matter of precaution, not to have done so.—(A laugh.) Mr. Peel remembered being at Limmer's Hotel, in Conduit-street, on the 4th of June last. It was the set tling day for the Oaks. O'Brien came in and inquired for Scott. He appeared much excited, and used threaten ing language as regarded Scott. Shortly after, witness met Scott coming into Limmer's Hotel, and advised him not to come in, as O'Brien was so much excited. Scott came in, however, and spoke to O'Brien, upon which a violent altercation ensued, the particulars of which wit ness does not recollect. Cross-examined—Witness knows O'Brien. Advised Scott not to come in, to prevent a row, but he insisted on doing so. Heard Scott say yesterday that he would fight O'Brien for 1,000/. This was at Limmer's Hotel. Scott was joking about thi3 Mr. Gregory. M.P. for Dublin, was at Limmer's Hotel on the 4th of June, and gave the same account of the occurrence there as had been given by the last witness (Mr. Peel). This witness understood that O'Brien charged Scott with saying something prejudicial to his character. Mr. JERVIS (with whom was Mr. Petersdorff) then addressed the jury for the defendant. It was now quite clear that Mr. O'Brien believed that Mr. Scott had been propagating reports on the turf prejudicial to his honour, and that ho had been anxious to obtain an explanation from him. Stung with these imputations, which were as slanderous as they were unfounded, and which went to charge Mr. O'Brien with being a levanter, and de sirous of escaping from his honourable engagements. Mr. O'Brien, ucon seeing Mr. Scott walking with Captain Garth and Captain Higgins, did use the expres sion " wretch," as deposed to. Now " wretch" was an unmeaning word, it might mear. anything; but the word " thief," which Mr. Scott used in reply, was far more offensive, especially when applied by him to Mr. O'Brien. The defendant could not receive a greater provocation, and he inflicted such chastisement on Mr. Scott, as any one, under such circumstances, might expect from a man whose temper was not under perfect control. As to the challenge to fight a duel, the action was commenced the very next day, and Mr. O'Brien could not be expected to treat a man as a gentleman who asked for gentleman like satisfaction with a writ in his pocket. The Learned Counsel submitted that the smallest damages would satisfy the justice of the case. The LORD CHIEF BARON thought that a gentleman who applied the word " wretch" to another must not be surprised if the word " thief" was retorted. There was no evidence that the plaintiff had previously done the defendant any injustice. It only appeared that they were not on good terms. On the whole, he thought it a very proper case to bring before a jury, who would award the plaintiff such damages as he seemed entitled to, not merely in regard to his physical sufferings, which were not very serious, but as a compensation for the injury inflicted on his feelings. The jury, after a short - consultation, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. SUFYLING V. NURSE, OVENDEN, AND MURPHY. This was an action for entering the plaintiff's dwel ling-house without a search-warrant, ransacking his drawers, &c., and taking away a pair of spectacles, &c. Mr. Watson and Mr. Ifumfrey, were for the plain tiff ; and Messrs. Jervis, Chambers, and Rawlinson for the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff, who was a person ad ♦anced in life, and who bad formerly been in the army, was lately employed in the Polytechnic Institution in Regent-street; but, in consequence of some breach of the regulations of the establishment, had notice to quit. Some platina having been missed from the rooms, sus picion fell, though without any just cause, as it ap peared, on the plaintiff, and on the morning of the 19th of March last the defendant Ovenden, who was a police man, accompanied by Murphy, who was also a porter at the establishment in Regent street, entered the plaintiff's lodging in Marylebone-street, whilst the plaintiff and hie wife, who was in extremely delicate health, were in bed, ransacked their drawers, looked over their letters, be haved with some rudeness, and took away a pair of German silver spectacles belonging to Mrs. Surfling, because they were contained in a case which appeared to have been brought from the Polytechnic Institution. On the same day, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, Ovenden, the policeman, retarned with Mr. Nurse, who is, it appeared, one of the directors of the Polytechnic Institution, and a magistrate of the county. Nurse expressed a strong suspicion of plaintiff's honesty, and charged the plaintiff with having letters of his in his possession, which the defendant denied. The letters were then searched, but none addressed to Mr. Nurse could be discovered, but it turned out the spectacles had been fairly purchased by Mrs. Surfing from a vendor at the Institution, who stamped his address on the articles sold there. Mrs. Surfling's health was so much injured by the proceedings adopted by the defendants, that her husband had to call in a medical attendant, who con tinued in attendance for some weeks, and whose charges amounted to 141. Bs. The defence was, that the defendants had acted bona fide upon reasonable grounds of suspicion, and without any unnecessary harshness. The LORD CHIEF BARON thought that there was no case made out against Murphy, and directed his acquit tal. Ile was clearly of opinion, however, that Mr. Nurse and the policeman hat' acted illegally in searching the plaintiff's lodgings without a warrant. If Mr. Nurse was a magistrate, as stated, be ought to have known better. The plaintiff was clearly entitled to some com pensation for the inconvenience and annoyance he and his wife suffered at the hands of the defendants. The jury found for the plaintiff, with 501. damages against Nurse and Ovenden, and acquitted Murphy. ADVERTIBEMENT.—An astonishing cure of an in ward cancer in the lower part of the stomach.—Mrs. Quinn, residing at No. 4, Back-lane, St. George's-in the-East, had be en i n t h ree hospitals them about eighteen months, and w as di sc h arge d from as incurable. She was in this state when the ointment was rubbed in all over the regions of the diseased parts, as salt is forced into meat, which effected a cure as speedily as though the inward part had been palpable to the eye. Any internal sores, tumours, aches, or pains may be cured in the like manner. Sold at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had /Fads), and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the Oilirwed world. WINTER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dec. 9. _ (Before Mr. Justice CoLERIDGI.) ._ __ His Lomistur sat this morning at the Guildhall, for the purpose of trying Joseph Steadman Maddison. aged 38, who was charged with having, on the 12th of June last, and on subsequent periods, being at that time a clerk in the employ of Mr. Swan, i❑ the city of York, feloniously embezzled 101. and other sums, the property of Mr. George Swan. This case has excited a great deal of interest, not only in York but elsewhere, co that the court at an early hour was crowded in an unusual manner. Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Dearsley prosecuted the prisoner, and Mr. Bliss defended him. There were three principal counts in the indictment and numerous minor counts. To the second principal count Mr. Bliss took an objection—it stated three dis tinct receipts of money within the period of six calen dar months, but did not state the embezzlements to have taken place within that period. The Learned Counsel contended that this was not sufficient, and referred to a decision of Mr. Justice Patteson in the "King v. Pur chase," reported in Carrington and Marshman, where that Learned Judge had so held. After a slight dis cussion, Mr. Wlmum said he saw the objection, and could not contend with it. The facts of the case may be very briefly narrated. In 1842 crime was found to increase so rapidly in and around York, and with such impunity did thieves carry on their depredations, that a party of gentlemen esta blished themselves into a society for the protection of the lives and property of persons in the neighbourhood, and in order effectually to carry out their laudable pur pose, they employed a police force of their own to act as patrols, within a circumference of 10 miles round the city of York. The prisoner, who applied to them for a situation, and whose application was backed with the highest testimonials, was appointed the superin tendent of the whole of that force, at a salary of 21 per week. At a subsequent period, to his other duties was added that of collecting subscriptions in aid of the society, and for this extra labour the prisoner was presented with a bonus of 101., and he was allowed 5 per cent. upon all subscriptions that he collected. All subscriptions it was his duty, immediately on their receipt, to hand over to Mr. Swan, the banker, of York, who acted in the capacity of treasurer to the society, and was also a member of the com mittee, and to furnish a weekly return of all receipts. Once every month also it was his duty to draw sums of money from the bank for the payment of the police, and he continued to draw from the bank for that purpose, up to the 6th of July last, between 701. and 801 per month. Since the month of January preceding, however, though drawing these sums out, the prisoner had paid nothing into the bank as subscriptions. When he applied there fore for more money on the 6th of July, Mr. Swan re fused to advance any more, and the consequence was that on the Bth of July, two days afterwards, Maddison bad disappeared from York. When next heard of he was filling the situation of Procurator Fiscal in the town of Dundee, where he had not been long, when finding that he was likely to be " wanted" (as was alleged by the prosecution), he wrote a letter to Mr. Anderson, who was the secretary to the society, admitting that he might be found to be in arrear with his accounts, and praying that the committee would grant him a short time to make all straight with them and his other creditors, which he hoped soon to be able to do, as he had obtained a good situation. Defalcations were found to exist in his accounts, and hence the present charge. Mr. It. H. Anderson was the first and principal wit ness called.—ln his examination in chief that gentleman deposed to nearly all the facts as above detailed. Cross-examined by Mr. BLISS--The prisoner had been in the service of the society from December, 1842, till July, 1844. I found him a diligent, efficient, and good officer. He left some account-books behind him in the office. lam not aware that he had to find horses at any time for his men. I am not certain that the prisoner said he bad expended the subscriptions which he had re ceived in his travelling expenses. He might have said so. He did not, I think, say that his expenses amounted to above 2001. a-year; but he frequently complained of his salary, and wished to have it increased. The pri soner had on several occasions made verbal announce ments to me as to the state of his accounts, and has stated an account of subscriptions received, an amount of sub scriptions in arrear, the sum paid over by him to the bank, and the sum in his own possession. His expenses no doubt were heavy, and I have heard that he suffered some losses whilst in the service of the society. Mr. John Hax by, of Easingwold, proved giving a sub scription of 101. to a policeman named Hare on the Ist of April last, to hand over to Maddison on behalf of the society. Hare deposed to having delivered that sum to the pri soner on the Ist of April. Mr. George Swan, the treasurer, deposed that it was the prisoner's duty to hand over subscriptions to him immediately on their receipt. He had nat paid to him any subscriptions to the 22d of January. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Buss addressed a most able, ingenious, and argu mentative speech to the jury, and commented at great length on the letter written by Maddison to Mr. Ander son, and contended that, so far from being a proof of dishonesty, it showed an anxious desire to pay up his arrears. This was the case of a man, happening to be in arrear, leaving one situation to obtain a more profitable one. Immediately on obtaining it he writes to the secretary, communicating his address, stating his ap pointment and his salary ; admitting (without being questioned) his arrears, and begging that the committee would wait patiently but for a short time, when he would pay up his arrears to the: society, and make all straight with them and with the rest of his creditors. Was that like a man absconding after having committed the crime of embezzlement ? He had been in arrear before. He had not always paid all up at least, and it was known at the auditing of the accounts, which from time to time occurred, that he was somewhat in arrear, yet they suf fered him to go on, and he did go on. He was anxious to pay up his arrears, and he went to Dundee, that he might the better and the sooner do so. From January to July he paid no money into the bank ; the society must have known that he had received subscriptions during that time, and yet they asked him for no account. He put it to the jury whether this was not simply the case of a man in arrear with his creditors, and not that of one feloniously embezzling the property of his em ployers. The Learned Counsel then called Charles John Scott, who deposed that he was clerk to the magistrates of Chester-le-Street. He knew the pri soner when he was superintendent of the Durham con stabulary force. He always acted honestly. Witness went went round to the magistrates on Wednesday last, and obtained a document in favour of the prisoner. Cross-examined--I have never heard that the prisoner had been guilty of forgery in Scotland. I never heard such a thing mentioned till this moment. Mr. Justice COLERIDGB then summed up. There was no doubt that the prisoner had received money for the society, which it was his duty to pay over to the treasurer. There was no doubt that he had not paid it all over. The question for the jury to decide was, whether the prisoner had fraudulently kept back that money, and applied it to his own purposes ? The jury retired to consider, and after an absence of about three hours returned a verdict of Guilty, with strong recommendation to mercy, on account of his pre vious good character.—Sentence deferred. Immediately after the summing up his Lordship left the Guildhall, and proceeded to the Castle, where the county cases were proceeded with as usual. The jury remained at the Guildhall, and came to the Castle in charge of an officer, as soon as they had agreed on their verdict. OXFORD C IR C IT.— Shrewsburv, Dec. 9. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Richard Jones, aged 25, Thomas Jones, 21, Enoch Jones, 16, John Jones, 17, William Jones, 19, and Edward Turner, 24, were indicted for a highway robbery, in company, on the 20th of November last. Mr. Corbett conducted the proescution. Messrs. Phil limore and Neale appeared for the prisoners. Humphrey Richards, the prosecutor, an individual who, to judge from his appearance, and the manner in which he gave his evidence, was endowed with less in tellect than usually falls to the lot of even a Welsh labourer, on entering the witness-box, being asked by the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, if he could speak English, replied, without hesitation, " No, Sir, I cannot." This answer, as may be supposed, caused some laughter, when the witness, apparently recollecting himself, suddenly pretended that he could not understand any observation made to him; after some coaxing, how ever, and the manifestation of much dogged reluctance, be at length consented to make a sort of half-intelligible reply to the questions addressed to him; this he con tinued to do for about an hour, when his sulkiness and taciturnity put a stop to the further progress of the case, and it was found necessary to swear an interpreter, after which the business proceeded somewhat less tardily than before. It was a matter of some difficulty to arrange, in an in telligible form, the confused and broken statement of this man. The following, however, seemed to be the sub stance of his complaint : He resided at Gadon, in the parish of Llansillin, and on the 20th of November went from his home to the town of Oswestry, for the purpose of selling some oats, for which he obtained 51. 55., and was returning about eight o'clock in the evening, with the cash in his pockets, when he deemed it advisable to turn into the Woolpack for refreshment. Here he imbibed several pints of liquor, and remained over his potations for three or four hours, during which time several other parties came into the kitchen where he was sitting, amongst whom were some of the prisoners. It was proposed in the course of the evening, as an intellectual amusement and a harmless diversion, that the company present should try the strength of their respective skulls by what is termed " bumping heads," a proceeding to which the prosecutor apparently might have safely engaged with the owner of the thickest and hardest pericranium in the principality. In accordance with this laudable suggestion, the prose cutor and another man, in order to prepare themselves more readily for the encounter, took off their coats, and ranging themselves, as did several other sapient couples, on oppssite sides of the room, at a given signal they all rushed together, and the weakest, as might be anticipated, and, as usually happens, " went to the wall ;" but the frequent repetition of this delightful and exhilirating pastime was not, fortunately, attended with any manifestation of ill humour, its monotony alone probably, therefore, suggested its discontinuance, and about half-past eleven the men parted for the avowed purpose of returning to their respective homes. Hum phrey Richards walked some distance with a man of the name of Sides, when they were overtaken by some of their previous companions, one of whom challenged Sides to fight. This was near a house called Perkington Lodge. Six or seven men had at this time collected round, and Sides was knocked down, and almost at the same time a stone was cast which struck Richards on the eye, and he received simultaneously a blow on the back part of the head from a thick stick. This had the effect of cutting open his head and knocking him down. On rising he tried to run off in the direotion of Oswestry, bat he was pursued and again knocked down. Willleg: the ground several of his assail an t s t r i e d t o get at pockets, and kicked and struck him violently for 8 0 , 11 ,.: time, during which he kept c ryi ng ou t " M ur d er " lotleVi After they left the prosecutor he r ose an d ran to a be le j standing in a field by the road side, where he Pu n , that he had lost 4/. 125., which w as sa f e i n hi s pocket leaving the Woolpack.

A great number of witnesses were called to subs' tiate his testimony, but some discrepancies and inc °ll. sistencies were apparent in their respective narratir7 originating probably in the obtuseness of their int e .; lects, occasioned by th e roug h t reatmen t to w hich th el ' heads had been subje c t e d, an d t o th e d e ep P ° tions they had imbibed. The trial occupied the time of the Court nearly th e whole day, and terminated at a late hour in the eveningt by a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, exe e l l i William Jones. John Jones then received sentence imprisonment, with hard labour, for six months, and the rest for the term of twelve months.
