THE BUDGET. The great feature of the session clme out last flight, and, what is creditable to the Government, came out according to promise. We have known budgets delayed for weeks after a solemn announce. ment : that they would be brought out on a specified day. On this point, therefore, Mr. GOULBURN has the advantage of his predecessors ; he has also the advantage of a fall treasury, thanks to the income tax ; and, as might have been expected, he went through the details like a man with plenty of money in his pocket, in a joyful mood. The total amount of the income-tax he stated to be 5,315,0001., or about 2,000,0001. more than Sir ItonEtur calculated upon when he introduced the 13111. Here was cause for rejoicing, but whether the unfortunate contri butors rejoice at the result is another question. it is gratifying to find however that there are Causes for rejoicing. On several of the import duties there has been a- considerable increase. On sugar there, has been an increase of 200,000/., on tea ;300,0004 on cotton wool 9 00,000/., and in va rious other articles imported into the country there has-been a proportionate increase. The estimate for the Excise, he calculated at 13,000,000/., and the actual amount has been 12,900,000/., nearly within the mark. In the Post- o ffi ce there has also been an increase, and the return shows that it had exceeded th 'e calculation by 28,0001.; and, taking all items into into account, the actual ,BBB 7t ,t u o r i n ., has the exceeded e O l e . calculations by for the year being estimated at 50,15,0,0Lr0/i.g, while it had actua ll y been 52,138,8401 . r A the other items into account, in several of which there had been a deficiency, the surplus for the year ending April 1, was 1,400,0001. The CliAN c4Lon of the EXCHEQITER then stated his cal culations. for the ensuing. year. The Customs he reckoned would amount to 21,500,000/., and the Ex cise to 13,000,000/., the Property-tax to 5,100,0001., and . With the other taxes the total amount would be 51,79 6 ; 0 6 01 ; After some other details respecting the iri6Orne and expenditure of the country, he ad !rtfid',,With much satisfaction to the reduction of the hree..and-Half per Cent. stock, and praised the House and the' country for the manner in which they had supported him in a plan which reduced the in t,Actlie4 rlovit..:r. dissentients . enormous sum of 250,000,000 1 . The .iv I.6:.,si lialr;she total amount hardly being required e onlyn 2 oti 4 Ce i 1 they iol ; ,....2! . ..-, . F id-,p' EF ate r tiropo r ti on of that amount arose from - ::-.*:,Offeuinstaricct that residents abroad, and chiefly in Y- ,.. ! ' , . — . --- -.-ie: colonies, lainot yet signified their intentions. It -} •-.— - was prObable,..- Meyer, that in due time the greater C N.: _part of theni would signify their assent, and the num .'-ber ddissentients would amount to a mere trifle. To pay off Oboe dissentients, he proposed to set apart 200,0001. The total expenditure of the year he cal culated at 48,643,1701., the amount of the revenue at 51,790,0001., leaving a surplus of 3,146,8301. Next came the reduction of taxation, and we regret it is so meagre. The first reduction he proposed was one on glass, which would amount to 45,000/. The second was a reduction of the excise on the article of vinegar. This announcement excited loud laugh ter. He then endeavoured to repress the laughter by showing the importance of the, article in various trades and manufactures, but without effect. The laughter still continued, and he proceeded to another item, which he said was one of considerable import ance—marine insurance. He then stated the re ductions in detail, which, on the whole, would amount to 100,000/. He also proposed to reduce the stamp duty on agreements made by railway com panies. The next proposed reduction also excited loud laughter. " I mean," said he, " a reduc tion in the article of currants.—(Laughter.) Now, what are currants ? They are but grapes after all.— (Continued laughter.) I propose to re duce the duty on currants from 225. to 155.," which would make a sacrifice of about 90,000/. - On coffee imported from foreign States he would also make a reduction. The duty at present is Bd., and he proposed to reduce it to 6d. From this change, and another on chicoree root, he calculated a diminu tion of revenue to the amount of 50,0001. On foreign wool, which he considered the most important item, he proposed to take off the entire duty, which last year amounted to 100,000/. The total reduction on glass, vinegar, currants, coffee, marine insurances, and wool, would amount in round numbers to 400,000/. With regard to sugar, he said it was his intention to move, when the treaty with Brazil expired in November next, a reduction on all sugars exempt from the slave trade, which would throwSepen all the countries eastward of the Cape, and thereby encourage the _trade with China. According to this arrangement, therefore, no reduction will take place on this neces sary article of life till next session. The Right Hon. Gentleman, after some flourishes about the prosperity of the country and the forbearance of the House of Commons, conclu,ded his long speech amid cheers. Mr. HUME expressed great dissatisfaction that the reductions were not greater, while he commended the Government for some of the proposed changes. They ought not, he said, to go on in this higgling manner ; they ought to set free all those branches of industry which were fettered by the Excise and Custom laws. They might also reduce the army, navy. ordnance, and miscellaneous estimates, and make a saving of 4,000,0001. a year. Mr. WlLLzaass also expressed his regret that larger reductions had not been made, and expressed his firm conviction that the income-tax, instead of being temporary, would be perpetual. Mr. BARING said one great omission of the Right Hon. Gentleman was with regard to the income-tax ; no mention had been made whe-. ther it was the intention of the Government to continue it beyond three years, as originally pro posed, and upon that the whole financial calculations hung. It would have been a more manly course to have stated whether it was to cease or be continued for three years longer. The only allusion to it was, that the subject would be brought forward next year. He approved of the reductions proposed, and only re gretted that they did not go further. As to the pro posed reductions on sugar, he could see no reason in the Government scheme. -It would encourage the growth of sugar produced by slave States, as much as if they admitted it at once from Brazil. Sir ROBERT PEEL pointed at the danger and the inconsistency of reducing the national establish ments, and particularly our naval and military forces, while other countries were making large preparations for any hostile event. With regard to the income tax, he considered it would be more conformable to common sense to wait till the period for which it had been fixed was expired. Next session they would be much better qualified to discuss the question. He then repeated what he had stated on the introduction of the tax, namely, that Parliament, he hoped, would not be unwilling to continue it for five years, but possibly, owing to the increasing prosperity of the country, it might not be required for more than three. In the meantime it would, be better to wait and see the result of the proposed ehanges, and the state of the country next year. After some remarks from Mr. LarsoucHEßE and other Members the discussion closed. Sir G. CLERK gave notice that on Monday next the House would be moved to resolve itself into Com_ mittee to lake into consideration the question of the Bank Charter. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve. We have not space to give an outline of the pro ceedings in the House of Lords, but we call the at tention of our readers to the discussion which took 'place relative to the recal of Lord ELLENBOROUGH . The Duke of WELLINGTON, it will be seen, denounced in the strongest terms the course adopted by the Court of Directors. He called their conduct indis creet, and added, that a more indiscreet exercise of power had never been exerted since he became con nected with public affairs. We are glad that the League, through its recog nised leader, has spoken out on the subject of shortening the hours of labour, and shown to the country that in this, as in all social questions, sound philosophy is the surest guide to useful philanthropy. Mr. COBDEN has pointed out the means of effecting the good which all must desire, the diminution of factory toil, without inflicting what would be a more than counterbalancing evil, a reduction of wages, and consequently of the means of obtaining the necessa ries of life. The opposition which Lord ASHLEY has met from many of the Leaguers, was obviously directed not against his end, but his means. Unfortu nately, we live in an age pre-eminent above all others for boldness in misrepresentation, and the advocates of monopoly eagerly embraced such an opportunity of placing the free-traders in an invidious light before the operative classes. Mr. COBDEN'S speech has removed all excuse for such misapprehension, and we cannot help wishing that it had been made at an earlier stage of the conflict. Profits are the wages-fund of the country, and Lord ASHLEY'S proposal directly and imme diately tended to their diminution ; but it is to be first considered whether manufacturing profits are at present so great as to he able to endure such a subtraction as must follow from taking away one sixth of the income derived from the most important branches of British industry. It is on the produc tiveness of capital that wages depend ; to render capital unproductive is to condemn the working-man to idleness and starvation ; to lessen the amount of its productiveness is to lower the wages, and, there fore, the subsistence of the operative in the same proportion. It was, therefore, the course equally pointed out by sound policy and true humanity first to secure the wages-fund, and then to regulate the amount of employment. We have been from the first zealous advocates of the Ten Hours' Bill ; we lament that there should be a necessity in the nine teenth century, and in such a country as England, for legislative interference to obtain for the working men such relaxation of employment as is necessary for the preservation of their physical health and for their moral and intellectual advancement. It seems now to be conceded on all hands that nothing will be done on the subject this session. Our statesmen feel that they are fettered and impeded by the inroads which restrictive laws and the income-tax have already made on the great wages-fund, the profits of commercial and manufacturing industry. It is therefore the clear duty of all who have advocated a Ten Hours' Bill to consider the means by which the wages-fund may be so increased as to allow the hours of labour to be shortened without abstracting from the income of the working man, which is limited enough already, and subject to heavy deductions from the unequal pres sure of our system of taxation. As wages come out of profits, and profits arise from sales, it is evident that an increase of the wage s -f un d can only arise from enlarged markets. Let us then earnestly endeavour to remove those monopolies and restrictions which close the markets of the world against the products of our industry. Free-trade includes a safe Ten Hours' Bill in its blessings ; it will enable the manufacturer to sell more goods, to pay more wages, and to give to those in his employment the rest essential to their health, and the leisure necessary for their social im provement. Not only will the manufacturers be able to give equal, or perhaps more, wages for a shorter period of work, but the operatives will be in a posi tion to command them, as indeed they could have done in 1835 and 1836, had they, during that pros perous period, fixed their desires on a Ten Hours' Bill. The season of brisk trade is the season of the operative's strength ; when two men seek one master the master may dictate his own conditions ; but when two masters seek one man the position is reversed, and the operative has the power of legislating for him self in fixing the amount and remuneration of his labour. The annual distribution of prizes inithe medical department of University College took place on Satur day last in the lecture-room of that noble institution. Lord BaouGnam—its original founder—presided on tha occasion, and after the prizes had been all dis tributed, proceeded to congratulate the meeting on the flourishing state of the funds of the University, en its excellent system of education, and on the high cha racter of its professors. Referring incidentally to a charge which its enemies have more than once brought against it, his Lordship observed ;—" They, the College, had no religious observances. They had been blamed for this, and told they had too little religion. He differed from those who held that opinion. It was because they had so much religion that they considered it too sacred a subject to be lightly dealt with." There is infinite good sense in this observa tion. Religion is, indeed, far too "sacred a subject" to be lightly treated ; and the routine system pur sued at our Universities in this respect, shows that people may be in the daily practice of religious ob servances, without their devotional feelings being in the slightest degree called forth. Every one who is familiar either with Cambridge or Oxford, must be well aware that it has been the custom there to in sist 'on the attendance of the under-graduates at the College chapel twice a day. This is the rule, but as it has been found difficult and inexpedient to carry it out to the full extent, it has been in some measure relaxed, and the authorities are now—and have been for some years—satisfied with the attend ance of the students nine times a week at chapel. But even this partial relaxation of a mere religious observance, with which the heart has nothing to do, has not been found to answer the purpose it was in tended to answer. The attendance, we regret to say, is still regarded too much as a " bore," and often do the under-graduates rush out from their wine-parties at the unwelcome sound of the bell, hurry on their white surplices, and go through the required forms at chapel, with no other feelings than those of impatience and vexation. The whole thing is considered to be a cold, formal, monotonous ceremony—a mere matter of religious etiquette; and the common sense of the parties en gaged in it rather revolts from it than otherwise. Surely the real interests of religion are not—cannot be—advanced by such a lifeless, mechanical system as this There is no judicious training or culture of the mind here—no sowing of such seeds of piety as shall take root and bring forth fruit in due season. The whole affair is little better than a hollow mockery, and we think that the authorities of Uni versity College have acted wisely in dispensing with it. Lord BROUGHAM went on to observe :—" When this Institution was first established, the projectors did confidently expect that their magnificent esta blishment, in which education of the- highest order would be taught at so low a rate, would be crowded with persons eager to avail themselves of such op-, portunities. At Oxford and Cambridge the same class and quality of education, for which they would only have to pay twenty-five pounds per annum at University College, would cost frOm two hundred to three hundred pounds, yet the citizens did not send their children to receive the advantage of this econo mical arrangement. They preferred (and he could not sufficiently express the thorough scorn and con tempt which he felt for their conduct) they preferred making a purse of two or three hundred pounds to educate their eldest sons at Oxford or Cam bridge, and left all the rest of the family to grow up in ignorance." This is Imo ther striking illustration of that rage for the genteel and the respectable, which is so conspicuous a feature of the present day. It is astp nishing what pecuniary sacrifices, even men who are fond of money and are impressed with a most en sited notion of its value, will make in order to esta blish a claim to gentility ! Why do not our citizens allow their sons to be educated at University Col lege ? The system of tuition pursued there is a cheap one, and it is also of the highest and most efficient character. Granted, but then it is not gen teel—it is not something to boast of in the way of , superior respectability A rich London tradesman feels no self-exaltation—no pleasing thrill of vanity at telling his friends and acquaintances that his son goes to University College; but he does feel his self complacency exalted, when he has it in his power to inform them that he has a son at Oxford or Cam bridge. The very announcement o£ such a fact raises him in his own estimation—it is a proof , That he is a man of substance—of respect ability—that he is a member of the thriving family of the Somebodies. And yet, at Uni versity College, his son is sure to receive a sound edu cation ; moreover, he is still under the parental eye, and freed from all temptations to extravagance; while, at Oxford or Cambridge, he is far away from home constant opportunities of running into expense and dissipation are allowed him; and the odds are that, long ere the period arrives for taking his degree, he is inextricably involved in debt, and has learned ❑othing but the , art •of killing time,. injuring his health, and blighting his prospects for life! We have accounts from Lisbon by the Peninsular steamer to the 22d of April, where public affairs re mained nearly in the same state. The troops in the fortress of Almeida, with BONED! at their head, still continued to bid defiance to Viscount FONTE NOVA and his 4,000 men ; and not only so, but it now turns out that the rebels have really been able to get up something in the semblance of a guerilla party in their favour, so as to give an appearance of popularity to their cause. Two Royal decrees had been published, one esta blishing what may be regarded as tantamount to martial law throughout the kingdom, and another prolonging the suspension of the Habeas Corpus and the liberty of the press, to the 23d of May next Several suspected persons had been shipped off to some distant colony without any form of trial. Among them 8.7 e the Deputies LEONEL TAVARES and GRIJO, the editor of the Tribuno, ANTONIO DB CUNHA, and HOLTREMAN, a lawyer. Madrid papers of the 21st have been received, but they bring no intelligence of the slightest interest. The QUEEN was to leave Madrid on the Bth of May for the Baths of Echavaleta, in Guipuzcoa. The following appears in a Barcelona paper, and shows that the present movement among the Carlists is encouraged by Don CARLOS himself:— " The ex-Carlist Brigadier Domingo Forcadell, who has been seized en the frontier, had about him a Royal dispatch, again appointing hint Brigadier, and three patents of the national order of St. Ferdinand, all of them signed by his pretended King. A few days ago the Carlists severely wounded two French Custom-house officers who were in pur suit of them." The Castellano, a Madrid paper, announces, by authority, that no change in the Cabinet is con templated. The Three per Cents. were done at 36 for cash, and 363 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 221 at 60 days. The heaviness of the debate in the French Chamber of Peers was much relieved on Friday by a violent attack by Count DB MONTALEMDERT on the Univer sity, and by the President compelling a Peer to make a speech. The Noble Count, after a long speech in praise of the clergy, referred to the religious side of the question, and asserted that the majority of the young men who left the University came out sceptics and disbelievers. Let the experiment, he said, be tried. Take one hundred youths who had terminated their studies - , and not ten Christians would be found amongst them! Religion was every- day attacked in its dogmas either directly or indirectly—by works published by certain professors, or by discourses de livered to their pupils. The Minister of Public In struction, M. VILLEMAIN, indignantly repelled the charge, and denied that the University was hypocritical and tyrannical. It accorded liberty, he said, but under proper regulations. In reference to England, he reminded M. DE DIPNTILLEMBERT that no college could be established without a Royal charter, and that it required the Reform Bill to authorise the foundation of the London University, after a struggle, which last e d 25 years, of the Catholics aga i nst the Protestant Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. As to M. DR MONTALEIIDERT and those whom he represented, they had not said what. they really TEE SUN, I.4ONDON, TAY'SDAY MORNINtii- APRIL 8 0) 1844,, wanted. They wished to see not merely the domi nation of the clergy established, but that of the various religious bodies, and particularly the Jesuits. The majority of the Cham ber applauded these sentiments. Then came" . the turn of the Marquis DE GABRIAC to speak, but he seemed afraid to mount•the tribune, and was trying to escape from the House by a side door, when hiS exit was prevented by the President, who said, "It is now M. DE GABRIAC'S turn to speak." M. DE GADRIAC turned round, on hearing Hs name men tioned, and said, " It is now half-past five, and I shall ask the Chamber to adjourn the discussion till to• ' morrow."—("No, no," " Yes, yes.") The Chamber, being consulted, decided that the discussion should proceed. The following scene then took place The Marquis advanced with extreme slowness towardd the tribune. The President—" I must remind the Noble Peer that the Chamber is waiting."—(Laughter.) The Marquis DR GABRIAC at last ascended the tri, bune, and, after having taken out a written speech, looked at it a moment, and then returned it hastily to his pocket. He then commenced some general remarks, which he interrupted at every moment to sip the glass of sugar and water placed at his right hand. This was continued so methodically, that at last a loud and general fit of laughter seized on the assembly. After a few minutes, the Noble Peer sud denly stopped and looked round the Chamber, as if fur relief, when a fresh burst of laughter took place, ac-, companied with cries of " Adjourn, adjourn." The Noble Marquis, greatly relieved, descended from the tribune much more alertly than he had gone up, and at once left the Chamber. In the Chamber of Deputies the principle of the Prisons Bill was adopted, or, to use the English Par liamentary phrase, the Bill was read a second time, and the Chamber. went into Committee, when a num ber of clauses were agreed to. The following appears in the Muniteur respecting the delay in sending out Admiral HAMELIN to replace M. DUPETIT TIIOUARS.

Hanat-Clery, who is also to perform the functions of chief of the etat-ma jor to Admiral Hamelin. In consequence of this decision his Majesty has appointed Capt. Danthon, the former commander of the Virginie, to the frigate Andromede, in which. Rear- Admiral Laplace, who is appointed to command the station of the Antilles, is to hoist his flag. Capt. Danthon is to per form the functions of chief of the etat-major to Bear-Admiral Laplace."

THE LATE GREAT CHESS MATCH BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND. It having been suggested by the French champion that the English amateur, Mr. Staunton, in his proposals, for playing a match of chess with any player in Europe, had imposed conditions which he knew would be unacceptable to him, our countryman instantly published the following deci sive and spirited challenge addressed to M. St. Amaut him self CHALLENGE FROM . MR._§TAUNTON TO M. ST. AMANT. My dear Sir,—Your reply to my "Proposals" reaches me at the moment when the forthcoming Number of The Chess Player's Chronicle is at press. This circumstance will ac count for and excuse the brevity of the present communication. My challenge, to the terms of which you have taken so many exceptions, was a general one, and its conditions, how ever equitable, could never be so nicely shaped that they would dovetail with the wishes and convenience of every individual. They will not do so, it would seem, with yours. Keeping them, then, altogether out of sight on the present occasion ; regarding only the impatience which you express, and which I feel, for another match, and the assurance you have given us of your being in London this spring, I have th• honour to submit for your consideration another "deli." I will engage upon your arrival in London to play you at the St. George's Chess Club a match of twenty-five, of twenty-one, of eleven, of seven, or of five games, at your option, for any stake not less than 100/. sterling. These games shall be played at your own appointed days and hours. I will undertake to play every day, or alternate days, or once a week, as you may arrange, under the penalty of one guinea for each omission. I will agree that the maximum time allotted for each move shall be ten, or fifteen, or twenty, or twenty-five, or thirty minutes, at your pleasure ; and that either party exceeding the given time shall on every occasion be fined a guinea. The match shall also be played in public or private as you may determine ; and, finally, I will consent that in each ganie both players shall on their first move play king's pawn two squares.—Believe me truly yours, JAMES STAUNTON.

THE ATTORNEY,-GENERAL..—We are exceedingly happy to hear that Sir William Follett is daily im proving in health and strength. Acting, however, under the wishes of his professional adviser, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman has not resumed his profes sional duties, since his appointment to the office of At torney- General ; and it is not expected he will come down to Westminster Hall during the present term. Sir James Graham, Sir George Clerk, and Sir Thomas Fremantle had interviews with Sir Raert Peel, at the Right Hon. Baronet's residence in Whitehall-gar dens, yesterday morning. SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION.—On Friday evening last Mr. Rumball, the phrenologist, delivered a lec ture on the " Fallacies of Mesmerism," wherein he attempted to prove the whole system to be one of delusion or fraud, and exnlained, at considerable length, sundry means by which one or the other could be detected. At the conclusion Mr. Brookes, the mesmeric lecturer, opened up a battery on the phrenological gentleman, and read several of his para graphs in the newspapers, in refutation of what he had that evening advanced, but as personality was most untastefully blended with the discussion, we forbear comment. The lec ture went off very well, but the attendance was very small.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 29. (Sittings in Banco.). THE COLLIERS' STRIKE IA: THE NORTII-EX FATtTE ISAAC TORDOLF-HABEAS CORPUS, The party in this case was a collier who had been com mitted to prison by Mr. Bennett, a Magistrate of the West Riding of liorkshire, on a charge of having wilfully absented himself from his work. He was this day brought up in cus tody, in order to have the cause of his commitment inquired into. Mr. BODKIN (with whom was Mr. Iluddlestone) appeared for the applicant Tordolf, and contended that he was entitled to the discharge, inasmuch as the conviction was bad on these six grounds :-Ist. It did'not appear on the face of the conviction that the complaint had been made within the county, for which the magistrate was acting, and although it was dated in the words of execution at the end, that lie con tended did not help it. 2d. The complaint was described as haying:been on the oath of Andrew Falls ; it was that Tordolf hiiving entered into a contract to work for Andrew Falls and - others,, had violated his contract. He contended .that the names of those other persons ought to have been set out, and this defect he contended was not cured by the provisions of the Act George IV., which extended only to indictments. 3d. The conviction set forth that Tordolf had agreed to serve Falls as a collier, but there was no averment of the terms on which he was to work, so that it was impossible for the Court -.to know whether or Hot the contract came within the mean ing of the statute. 4th. It convicted Tordolf of inure offences than one, for after stating that he had unlawfully absented himself from the service, it convicted him of having been ab sent the 24th, the 26th, and 27th of February, omitting the 25th, thus making a break and constituting two offences. Mr. Justice PArrEsorr—Perhaps the 25th was Sunday. Mr. ERLE—It was, my Lord. Mr. BODKIN had a fifth objection to make, which was— that the conviction did not set forth that Tordolf had ever entered the service, which it ought to have done, in order to show that the contract had been completed; and sixthly and lastly, he objected that it did not appear from. anything on the face of the document that the prisoner was present when the witnesses were examined. On these grounds, he sub mitted the prisoner must be discharged. Lord DENMAN.—We feel the last point to be a very strong one. We should be glad to hear you, Mr. Erle on that point. Mr. EItLE contended that the document in question could not be treated as a conviction—it was to be treated as a war rant of commitment reciting a conviction, and all was set forth in it that was usually sat forth in such documents. It was not required to set forth all that a conviction was usually required to contain. It had never yet been required that do•. cuments of this nature should set forth the whole of the evi dence; if the Court were 1 o require it, they would require that these documents should contain much more than had hitherto been required. Lord DEmr.tx—The point as I understand it is, not that more is required to be set forth than has hitherto been re quired, but that it should be distinctly stated that the exa mination had taken place in the presence of the defendant. If I understand Mr. Bodkin aright, he argues that it is pos sible that the prisoner may have appeared, and yet the exa mination of the witnesses have taken place in his absence. Mr. DILE said that the same point had been raised before Mr. Justice Coleridge, who had considered that there was nothing in it The document stated that the prisoner had been been brought before a magistrate that day, and, there fore, it was to be presumed to be one transaction. It was clearly one transaction, and it was to be presumed that all that had taken place had taken place in accordance with the provisions of the statute. Mr. YARDLEY, on the same side, contended that, whenever it was stated in any document of this nature that in one and the same day the party had appeared, and the facts had been gone into, the Court would always presume that all that had taken pace had taken place in the presence of the defendant, unless it was stated to the contrary, and quoted several cases in support of his opinion. The COURT took time to consider the point. There were several other cases of a similar nature, in which the same point arises, and which will not be argued on any of the other points until this point shall have been decided. EX PARTE COPESTICK-HABEAS CORPUS. ' This was a conviction of a collier for neglecting his work. No one appeared in support of the conviction, and, the rule for the habeas being made absolute, the prisoner was ordered to be discharged. EX PARTE JOHN BIRD, AND OTHERS-HABEAS CORPUS. The parties in this case were five colliers, who had been committed to Leicester Gaol by Mr. Abney, a Magistrate of the County, for having neglected their work. A habeas corpus had been obtained, and the gaoler had made his return which came on for argument this day. :Mr. BODKIN, in contending that the prisoners ought to be discharged, .drew the attention of the Court to the return made by the gaoler. He returned that he detained them by virtue• of two warrants delivered to him on April 8, authoris ing him to detain them for three months, and en two other warrants delivered to him on April 15th, but dated the Bth, convicting tliem•of the same offence. Now , it was evident War the magistrate having discovered that his first warrants were bad had endeavoured to amend them. In these second warrants reference was made to a conviction, ivhich convic tion must be considered to be the first warrants, which as convictions were bad. Mr. WHITEHURST, who supported the action, admitted that the first warrants were bad as convictions. Mr. BODKIN contended further that the second warrants were bad, inasmuch as although dated the Bth of April, they were not delivered to the gaoler until the 15th, and that they authorised the gaoler to detain the prisoners for three months, without stating from the date of the warrant, for an offence for which the prisoners had already been in prison seven days, and therefore they committed the prisoners for seven days more than the magistrate had any right to commit them for. The taking also under the first warrants was illegal, inasmuch as they convicted the parties of several offences in the same warrant, and there fore the prisoners were entitled to their discharge. Mr. FRY followed on the same side. Mr. WHITEHURST, in support of the return, contended that the gaoler, having returned a good warrant of commit ment, dated April 8, for three months, that was quite suffi cient, and that the Court would not notice the bad warrant which had been returned with the good c ne. Lord DEN3IAN interrupted the Learned Counsel, in the course of his argument. The Court was clearly of opinion that the return was a good one. The defendants were in custody upon a valid warrant, and must therefore be re manded, and the rule discharged.—Rule discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, April 29. VALLANCE AND DIERLEX V. THE DUNE OF BRUNSWICK. In this case a rule had been obtained by Mr. Sergeant Byles, to set aside the taxation of costs with regard to SOL 10s., the payment of which was alleged never to have been authorised by the Duke of Brunswick, and also with regard to that portion of the costs which re ferred to the case of Barnard Gregory v. the Duke of Brunswick and Mr. Valiance, fur which it was alleged Mr. Valiance was equally liable with the Duke of Bruns wick. Mr. Sergeant TalsounD now showed caused against the rule. He expressed his regret that it should be ne cessary to enter into this case, but thought he should be able to show from the affidavits of the plaintiffs that the Duke of Brunswick was labouring under a mistake when he denied that he ever authorised the payment of the 801. 10s. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the affidavits of Mr. Valiance and Mr. Bierley. It stated that Mr. Valiance acted as solicitor to his Lordship from 1341 to November, 1843, and it denied the affidavit of the Duke of Brunswick and his equerry, Count De Witts, that he (the said Duke) had forbad the payment of this 801. 10s., or that he had said he would not per mit it to be made. On the contrary, he had autho rised the payment, and knew for what purpose it was elpended. he being told of it by Mr. Valiance. The money referred to consisted cf money paid to a person named Banks, for making inquiries respecting the case against the Duke by Barnard Gregory, and to certain extracts which were printed at the request of his High ness, several copies of which came into the hands of his Highness, and for which 351. was paid by the plaintiffs. Mr. Valiance stated in his affidavit that Count De Witts was not present at the conversation which was sworn to have taken place on the 3d of November ; but that in the month of October the Count De Witts called on him at his office, .and proposed to him to participate in the profits of his costs, which he (Mr. Valiance) refused to accede to, as it would be both illegal and immoral. Se veral interviews and conversations took place afterwards. On one occasion, on the 20th of October, Mr. Valiance deposed that the Count De Witts called at his office and offered him 501. for his costs; and upon Mr. Valiance expressing his surprise, the Count took a second 50/. out of his pocket, which he offered to Mr. Valiance, which was likewise refused. The Count then said that the Duke desired him to offer 501. to Mr. Valiance, and if he did not accept that to offer him the second 50/.; but, if he did not accept them, to bring back both. Mr. Bierley also deposed that during a conversation he had with the Duke, De Witts offered him 1001. to satisfy Mr. Valiance, which he (Bierly) refused to accept. On the 21st of October Mr. Valiance attended the Duke, at his request, at his houso in Bryanstone-square, and after informing him of what took place respecting the offer of the two 50/. notes, he was paid 150/., which formed part of 8001. which had been paid by the Duke, and fore which credit was given him out of the 1,6141, the amount ,of the costs. On the 27th of October Mr. Vallancereceived a letter from the Duke of Brunswick, showing 6 that he still enjoyed the confidence of his High ness;, celled on the Duke on the 3d of November, the day on which. the conversation took place at which the Duke was said to have rejected the payment of 80/. 10s., when the Duke produced a book of solicitors' charges .to him, which he purchased in Chancery-lane, according to the charges in which the Duke required that Mr. Valiance should make out his bill of costs.—(Laughter.) This Mr. Valiance refused to do, as the book was of no authority.. ,Three days after, he had a conv ersa ti on w i t h the Duke, in the presence of De Witts, and on the 11th November; he wrote a letter to the Duke, on which day he received a summons from the Duke, requiring him to deliver his bill of costs to Mr. Graaf, who was henceforth to be his Highness's attorney. On the 13th, Mr. Val iance received a letter from the Count De Witts, refer ring him to Mr. Graaf, who was now, by his (the Count's) advice, the attorney of his illustrious master. Mr. Val lance was most reluctant to bring the matter before the public, and before the bill was taxed by the Master, be wrote to his Highness, reminding him , of all he went through for him, and all the vituperation and slander to which he was subjected on account of the relation in which he was placed towards his Highness. With regard to the second point, he (Sergeant Talfourd) admitted that his client Mr. Val iance was indiscreet in going to the theatre with the Duke of Brunswick, when Barnard Gregory appeared to play the part of Hamlet ; but Mr. Valiance was made a defendant in that case, entirely in consequence of his elations with the Duke; and the affidavit stated that the Duke of Brunswick promised that he would bear all the expenses of that action, and that Mr. Bierley was his attorney in that case. Lord Chief Justice TirtnAL said that • the rule was moved for on two grounds. The first related to the 801. 10s., the second ground was, whether the Master, in taxing the costs, ought to have taxed them against the Duke of Brunswick alone, or whether Mr. Valiance should be considered as liable to pay jointly with him. It was sworn that there was a promise of indemnity made by the Duke which he should have an opportunity of answering. The matter must therefore go before the Master on this point. Sergeant WILDS said that they should be certainly desirous of having an opportunity to answer the second part of the rule, though he thought ho could give an answer from the affidavit of the plaintiffs themselves. His client the Duke of Brunswick was subjected to. sin action in consequence of his attorney appeering.:with . .„ him at the theatre, where he ought not to have er peared. But now he was not content to bear any par of the responsibility which grew out of his own act, and his Learned Friend moaned over his client, because he could n.A make any profit of the matter. With regard to the first point, the Duke of Brunswick swore that he newr authorised the paymet:i cf the M. The matter was referred to the decision of the Master. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 29. The Court took the special paper to-day. In the co" that came before their Lordships the arguments wine pure . l7, technical. on points of law, as is usually the case on epees' paper day. They therefore do not call for any partials: notice. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MARLBORO GII.S7'REE T. FASHIONABLE PICKPOCKET.—MichaeI Richardson, a ve:l stylishly dressed young man, was placed at the bar on th e folloWing charge. Mr. Robinson, the solicitor, attended en the prisoner's behalf. Mrs. Emily Peach, a married lady, residing near LiverPo° l ' but at present staying at th e Y or k H o t e l, Alb emar le-stree , " Piccadilly, stated that between eight and nine o'clock P_ 2 Saturday evening last, as she was wa lki ng a l ong N e w B 0 ' w street she felt a person's hand in her pocket, and on turnini round found the prisoner close b e hi n d h er , an d s h e se ized !WI of his hand, as it was still remaining in her pocket. lie then broke from her, and set off running up Sow; Molton-street, but was pursued by a poli c e c onstable an taken into custody.

There were three other fashionably dressed young men, evidently company with the prisoner, and on the detection of the Fr i. soner they immediately separated, taking different direction& Mr. MALTBY inquired if the prisoner was luiornfr; Mr. Frowd, inspector of the C division, said that he. low been informed that the prisoner had lately been seen in We' pany with several well-known pickpockets. Mr. Robinson said that was impossible, as the accused hjd for several months been confined by illness to his than ' of which fact Dr. Curtiss, of Oxford- s t ree t, w h o h a d attetiar him, had given a certificate. Mr. MALTBY said that the facts were so clearly and fall/ stated by the prosecutrix, that no reasonable doubt of m e prisoner's guilt could be entertained. He should, however remand him until Wednesday next; and in the meantime Dr quiries would be made about him. UNION-HALL. Ann Taylor, a well-dressed young_ woman, was charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling. It appeared that the prisoner went i n t o th e s h o p of , 3f , Rathbone, druggist, of the Kent-road, on S a t ur d a y even'n„': and asked for a small box o f an ti-bili ous p ill s, in paYl" for which she tendefed a coun t er f e i t s hilli ng.

When questioned by Mr. Lulu. on the subject, the Pri; soner refused to give any account of her possession of t he counterfeit shilling ; an d as she is suspected to belong t " ~__„e gang of utterers of base money, a sy s te m o f f rau d which hie been carried on to a great extent on th e t ra d esm en of tr. district, she was remanded to gi ve th e so li c it o r of th e Mint an opportunity of attending and prosecuting loor lbr the offence.
