Now or never." These remarks, though professing to be made in a spirit of calm, invincible confidence and determination are, in truth, wrung out of the very intensity of apprehension. The blind fury that per vades them is the bluster of the bully, who feels an ugly consciousness that in the struggle which he him self provokes, he cannot fail to come off second best. As expressing the opinions of the Orange faction, the ' passage is well worth notice; and not less so, as giving utterance to the exquisite terrors with which that faction is just now beset. It is plain that they foresee their destiny, and that the prophetic handwriting on the wall has not made its appearance, unob served by them. Like MARLOW'S Doctor Faustus, on his last night, they now begin to count their political life by minutes, and the agony of their apprehension increases just as the sand in the hour-glass diminishes. As a last desperate re source, they have taken to bullying; and as drowning men are said to catch at a straw, so the Irish Orange men entertain a sort of faint, sickly hope that by loud words and threatening gestures they may frighten Sir ROBERT PEEL into the abandonment of his Edu cational Reforms. This is positively their sole remain ing chance, and as sure as night succeeds day, so surely will it give way beneath them. Sir R. PEEL knows them too well—is too well aware of their weak ness—to take fright at their blustering philippics; but will pursue his course calm and unmoved, caring no more for their noise than the fox cares for the hissing of a flock of geese. We have more than once had occasion to remark on the harsh—and we might add, unjust—spirit in which the Law, as administered by many of our Magistrates, presses upon the poor and the helpless. Instead of being their sworn friend and guardian, as;,- - 1). a pleasant fiction of the Constitution it is presu.izl i Ao' be, on whose humane and considerate inteipest in their behalf they may confidently calcutabq w assailed by the strong arm of petty local aahOriity:(it' is often so strained and interpreted—arson to Ae, letter rather than to the spirit—as tit - he 'their oppressor—their bug-bear, whom they shriniefrom with as much instinctive apprehension as the .lpwer orders in the East shrink from him who is:supposed to be possessed of the Evil Eye. Frequently_ in this enlightened country has accommodating Justice been.; known to smile on the delinquencies of the rich and the influential, but seldom, if ever, has it had other than a frown for the poor and the de fenceless. " That in the captain's but a choleric word, which in the soldier is flat blasphemy," says SHARSPEARE, who knew the workings of the busy, practical world about him, if ever man did. Respect ability may do many things with comparative impu nity, which if non-respectability—that is to say, rank, unadulterated poverty—were to attempt, it would be forthwith subjected to the severest pains and penal ties. The " choleric word" of the rich deepens into " flat blasphemy" when uttered by the poor ; as was proved the other day, in a case where a passionate gentleman, who had held abusive language towards a poor man, was let off with a bland remonstrance, while a cabman, who had abused a gentleman in terms little, if at all, worse, was visited with a fine, accom panied—if we remember rightly—by a significant reference to the tread-mill! Another, and still more striking instance of this peculiar working of the Law, occurred on Monday last at one of the Police-courts. Several poor women were brought before the sitting Magistrate, charged with the flagrant enormity of selling fruit in the streets. In justification of this heinous offence, one of the defendants urged that she had no other means of support, and that " it was to keep out of the workhouse that she endeavoured to sell fruit in the Walworth-road." Another pleaded that "she had five children dependent on her for support," and asked " what she was to do, if pre vented from selling a little fruit by the road-side ?" A third said that " she had a sick husband, and that she tried to keep him and herself out of the work house by selling fruit, but that, if she was deprived of the means of doing so, that must be their fate." And a fourth observed, " I have no other means of gaining a subsistence ; it is a very cold and harassing way of getting a living for those poor people who, like myself, are compelled to follow it ; but what are we to do ?" To these unanswerable pleas the Magistrate coolly replied, that " he was of opinion it would be a kind ness to many of those persons who obstruct the thoroughfares by selling fruit, to commit them to the House of Correction ; that it was an idle, lazy way of living, and that those who pursued it ought to be made to try and earn their bread by different means." It is very easy to talk in this strain, but how are the defendants to find other and more respectable means of earning a livelihood ? Selling fruit in the open air, in a rainy, foggy, inclement climate like this, we conceive to be about the last resource of abject penury, which has not been attempted till every other expedient has been tried and failed ; and yet the poor creatures who make this last desperate shift for existence, are coolly told that they are guilty of idleness and laziness, and are fit subjects for the House of Correction I Yes, because they prefer attempting to gain an honest maintenance, under cir cumstances of the most precarious, humiliating, and injurious character to their health and comfort, to subsisting by dishonest means, it is frankly intimated to them that they are rogues and vagabonds, and that if they persevere in such ungenteel courses they shall be fined twenty shillings each ! And what, pray, is the cause of this Magisterial anathema against those who are found guilty of selling fruit in the Streets, exposed for hours together to the fog, the rain, and the bleak winds of November? They obstruct the thoroughfares, forsooth ! So the poor, helpless owners of fruit-stalls—who have existed as a class from time immemorial in the metropolis—are to tarve, rot on a dunghill, or walk off contentedly to the House of Correction or a union workhouse, in order that genteel and respectable pedestrians may not be impeded in their movements on the Walworth road ! Verily, respectability obtains absolute freedom of locomotion at a heavy—a cruelly heavy—cost to poverty and destitution ! But no matter—perish all the poor vendors of fruit in the streets, rather than the thoroughfares should be obstructed ! So exclaims the Law, as interpreted by the wisdom and humanity of a Metropolitan Police Magistrate! Accounts from Bayonne of the 16th state that General ZURBANO had raised the standard of revolt near Vittoria. According to other accounts, the in surrection broke out Logrono on the 12th, and ZUR BANO placed himself at the head of the insurgents, said to amount to 400. The cry was, " The Consti tion of 1837—Long live the QUEEN, and death to the tyrants !" Intelligence from Madrid of the 13th also announce that several arrests had taken place both in Castile and.Galicia ; and from other quarters we learn that a general insurrection was anticipated ; so that NARVAEZ has quite enough on his bands at pre sent. The troops at Madrid might for a time support him, but those in the country are so ill paid and fed, that they are ready to join any adven turer. The discussion in the Chamber on the Reform Bill is entirely destitute of interest. Every amend ment proposed by the weak Opposition, had been re jected by large majorities. A long conference had taken place between the French Ambrssador and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but the result has not transpired. It was generally believed, however, to have reference to a communication from the POPE about the sales of Church property. The Three per Cents. sold for 27-a for cash, and 27i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 20 11-16 at 60 days; the Floating Debt at 64i for cash, and 654 at 60 days, and the Debt without interest at 6 3-32 at 60 days. The Paris Commerce announces that, on Sunday, the KING signed a royal ordonnance, convoking the Chambers for Thursday, Dec. 26. The Opposition, it would appear, are making preparations for the session, and are about to form schemes for embar rassing and finally overthrowing M. GUIZOT. The " Left," however, are determined not to join in this system of tactics, as it could lead to no favourable result for that party. The schemers are said to be Count MOLE, M. DE SALVANDT, and some other members of defunct Cabinets. " We would suffer these intrigues to pass," says the National, "if we thought they emanated from those impatient idlers whose political views are confined to the possession of office, and who imagine that public opinion ought to b w e e s a a r t e is ee fit when ieeed theythat the have i ga m in u e ls d e th i e s ir g o iv bj e e n ct f . rom ßu a t higher qua r t er , and it is for teat reason that we wish to say a few words upon it. For some days past, there has been a party intriguing to secure the over throw of M. GUIZOT at the commencement of the session. Some of Count MOLE'S friends are pre paring to present to the Chamber a Cabinet quite ready to replace the present Ministers. It is pro posed to place Count MOLE at one extremity, M. iii; SALVANDY at the other, and to fill the intermediate space with some members of the left centre, such as .MM. VIVIEN, DUFAURE, BILLAULT, PASSET, MATHIEU DE LA REDORTE, &c. This mongrel Ministry would on the one hand have the support of Count DE MONTA LIVET, who finds M. GUIZOT no longer good for any thing, and on the other the silent protection of M. TRIERS, who is of opinion that the most superior actor would be very soon sought for after the doubles' had been made use of. But the difficulties are great. First, there are amongst those men but few sympa thies. M. BILLAULT does not care to compromise his future prospects with so fragile a combination. To these embarrassments is to be added the attitude as sumed by the left side of the Chambers. It was be lieved that this fraction would be glad to be rid of M. GuizoT, but their good sense has suggested to them that it was the system itself that ought to be got rid of. If M. GuizoT were to fall during this session, a new Cabinet without vigour or without means of ac tion would find itself completely at the disposal of the personal Government. The elections made under this new influence would produca a Chamber similar to the present. The system would consequently remain the master. The Left' thought, with reason, that they ought not to lend themselves to an arrangement which would be sterile at present, and fatal to the future prospects of France. They considered that it would be more judicious to suffer M. GUIZOT to dis solve the Chamber, and to convoke the electoral body. It is before the electors that the Left intend to plead their cause, and their best auxiliary will certainly be AL_ GUIZOT, flanked by his two journeys to Ghent and `4:; 4.40 n don." e same journal contains the following unjust iii arks on the unfair policy of France ,towards '"jf We have received a letter, signed by 24 Spanish ofOcers, complaining bitterly of the manner in which they have been treated by the agents of the Ministry. Tliey also, like the brave Amettler, have been exposed to...brutal violence because they attempted to regain the:it. country! M. Guizot, it will be perceived, is con stStent. He makes himself the complacent auxiliary of Narvaez ; the amenities of Baron de Meer tickle him a4eeably. Every Spaniard that desires to go and frankly oppose the reactionary party is in his eyes a conspirator, who must be arrested and thrown into pri son. M. Guizot, however, threw open the gates of France to those who were going, arms in hand, to attack Espallero's Government, and when we reproached him with favouring insurrection by such conduct, his jour nals replied to us, ' By what right can the French Go vernment keep within the kingdom refugees wishing to if. , turn to their country?' Well, by what right does M. Gnizot do it at present? Where is the law permitting him to establish in so odious a manner the police of M. Narvaez in France? But he goes further, and in the hope of frightening the Spanish people, he speaks like Louis XVIII. of another cordon sanitaire on the frontier of the Pyrenees. This is only a wretched piece of parade, for the Spaniards will do as they like in their own country. If they rise up to overthrow the most cirrupt and most foolhardy Government—if they inter for ever the counter-revolution all France will rejoice at it, and it is unlawful for M. Guizot, were he ten times stronger than he is, to attempt the slightest interven tion in favour of the faction which now oppresses and pillages Spain. This is what people must feel on the other side of the Fyrenees, for it is an incontestable verity on this side. Narvaez is most anxious, for his own interests, to spread the report that the French Government will come to his aid, but the French Go vernment has plenty of affairs of its own to attend to, and will take right good care not to go and mix up its interests with those of the Spanish counter-revolution, for it is well aware that both might be brought to an end by the same blow." The Carlist Quotidienne, which is highly indignant at the scheme for a marriage between the Queen of SPAIN and the Count TRAPANI, makes the following remarks on the subject : The correspondents of certain Ministerial journals announce, as a positive fact, the marriage of Isabella with the Count de Trapani. They go so far as to fix the place and period of the marriage, and even the title which the person thus selected by the Cabinets of Ma drid and the Tuileries is, they say, to take. To believe them, this union, so long announced, is to take place at Valencia, and the young Neapolit an P r i nce i s t o assume before the marriage the title of King, with th e name o f Louis 11. Thus would disappear this condition of the Queen's husband, which, it was said, flattered the childish vanity of Isabella ; her husband would find himself a King, not like the pretended King of Portugal, after having given a successor to the throne, but by the simple act of a family arrangement. This strange innovation would in itself be quite a royal constitution, improvised for a betrothal ; Isabella reigns in virtue of a usurpation founded on a last will and testament, and her young husband is to be a King in virtue of another usurpation, founded on a contract of marriage, which would not pre vent his presenting himself as the successor of King Louis I. Would not this be most strange ? We believe that the King of Naples is anxious about this combina tion ; the Cabinet of the Tuileries approves of it ; and it is hoped that the Pope, who is intimately acquainted with the Count de Trapani, from the latter having some times visited him at Rome, where he was preparing the way for the Cardinalship, will at once acknowledge a young Prince whom he loves, particularly when he can receive letters from Paris and Madrid, saying :—We should have preferred the Prince des Asturias, but you see that the entire nation rejects him by the organ of their representatives. We doubt the Holy Father's de parture, in this conjuncture, from the policy of the mo narchical powers ; and, should ho do so, it would be with reservations, which would destroy the political effect that is hoped for from his consent. A poor and wretched intrigue is this project of marriage, which will exclude from the Government the three Princes, the sons of Don Carlos, the eldest of whom will alone represent the mo narchical right, and the sons of Don Francisco de Paula, amongst whom the Liberal malcontents could choose a leader ! We could have comprehended a marriage with one of Louis Philippe's sons ; it would at least have been a usurpation a cheval ; but Count de Trapani's en sou tane is more than a fault, it is a folly !" The Court-martial on Lieutenant BESSON, for the loss of the royal steamer Groealand, on the 26th of August, on the coast of Morocco, commenced, at Toulon, on the 14th. It appeared, from the exami nation of the accused, that the vessel was quite new, having been built about the beginning of the present year, and that she went on shore during a thick fog, as she was leaving Mogadore for Cadiz. Every effort was made in vain to get her afloat, and the wreck was finally destroyed, to prevent its falling into the hands of the Moors. After examining the second in com mand, the Court adjourned till next day. the following statements made by the Revue de Paris, we trust, will not be forgotten, when the Bill for solitary confinement in prisons again comes before the French Chamber. We are only astonished that civilized beings should listen to a scheme of such atrocious cruelty : " Practical experiment is not favourable to the peni tentiary system which Messrs. Tocqueville and Beaumont have imported from America. That philanthropic method has been employed in the prison of Senlis, during only six months, and we have already to register two suicides committed during the last three months. In presence of those facts, we ought to thank the Minister of Justice for not bringing up to the House of Peers the project of law adopted by the Chamber of Deputies last session. Now, when the discussion s h a ll come on, i t will suffice, to defeat the schemes of the partisans of the cellular system, to cite facts passing under our eyes in the prison of Senlis and others, where the Pennsylvanian system has been in use, and produced similar conse quences. Then the fate of the Bill shall no longer be doubtful, and the exalted prudence of the Chamber of Peers will certainly cause that ussembly to refuse its sanction to the impressions de voyage of the philan thropists of the Ameriern school." The Presse having published a letter from a French seaman, named FAZIERE, dated Mazatlan, the 12th of August last, and giving an account of his having been flogged and otherwise ill-used, by the order of a captain in the Mexican army, after his arrest by the authorities, for a quarrel, in which he had involved himself with two musicians ; and the Presse having accompanied this letter with some severe observations on the Mexican Government, MAX GARBO, the Mexican Minister at the Court of Prance, has addressed the following letter to that journal : " I have just read in the Presse an with) relative to an outrage committed at Mazatlan, on a seaman named Alexandre Faziare. You must permit me to add a few words. As soon as the President of the Republic had received information of the acts of barbarity com mitted at Mazatlan, he gave the most urgent orders that the persons who had been guilty of them should receive an exemplary punishment. The Baron Alleye de Cyprey, in a note of the sth of September last, was pleased to do justice to the sentiments expressed on this occasion by the Mexican Government. It is further my duty to rectify an error contained in your article. It was as serted, in the first instance, that Faziare, having become a Mexican b 1 naturalisation, could no longe . r claim the protection forh of t France, e moment T beenhe question t aside. s e nat ionalit y of vh ais now has, however, attempted to be established, in accord with the best writers, is, that the o ffi cial intervention of diplomatic agents in fa vour of the subjects of their Governments, in affairs submitted to the decision of the tribunals of the country, can only be exercised in cases where there has been a denial of justice." The Canstitutionnel makes the following observa tions on the commercial treaty, concluded between Great Britain and Brazil, in 1827, for fifteen years, and subsequently prolonged to 1844 : " This treaty will expire in a few days. The Cabinet of London has done all it possibly eotild tC get it re- ! newed, but in vain. The new Brazilian tariff has been 1 in force for some days, and it will affect equally all kinds of goods ; it is a measure most fatal to European com merce in general, and to that of England in particular ; it is, above all, the result of the legislative enactments edopted here, and on the other side of the Channel, re specting sugar. Bratil can. offer Europe, in exchange for the manufactured goods which she sends out, only sugar, coffee, raw skins, inlaid wood-work, and some quantities of cocoa, threads, and tobacco. In France, foreign sugars are cur-taxed rather heavily in the interest of our colo nies and our beetroot sugar. In England sugar produced by slave labour is altogether prohibited. This has been done under the mask of philanthropy, but in reality it only serves as the prelude to the accomplishment of cer tain views of political economy of the Cabinet of Lon don, for, had it been adopted in the interest of the aboli tion of slavery, it would have been applied to all tropical produce indiscriminately, and particularly to cotton cul tivated in the United States by the blacks, and consumed chiefly by the manufactures of Great Britain. It is easy to conceive that Brazil should adopt reprisals, when it beholds its sugar rejected by the two greatest mar kets of Europe ; and France, not more than England, has been able to renew the treaties of commerce which she had concluded with that power, and which have now expired. The German association is in a different posi tion with respect to Brazil. The countries of that Union have no sugar colonies, and beetroot has not yet arrived at such a developement amongst them as to require pro tecting measures. Therefore, it is not unlikely that the Customs' Union will succeed in concluding the treaty which France and England have in vain aimed at. An envoy from Brazil is at present in Europe, to come to an understanding with the Cabinet of Berlin ; and, should the negotiations succeed, the new Brazilian tariff will be mojified in favour of the produce of the Zoliverein. This tariff is exceedingly elevated, and will be highly preju dicial t the commercial relations which Europe enter tains with Brazil. All fermented liquors are to pay an ad valorem duty of 50 per cent., and thus the wines and brandies of France are affected as well as the malt liquors of England. Crystals and glass of all kinds, plain amid coloured paper, fruits, objects of domestic con sumption, &c., are to pay 25 per cent. ad valorem. Che mical products, salt fish, iron and castings, tanned hides, salt meat, steel, and tin, are to pay 20 per cent. ; linen woollen, cotton, and silk manufaetures, 30 per cent. ; and, besides these duties, high as they are, the Bra zilian Government has reserved to itself the power of imposing a differential duty on certain articles corning froth countries where the goods of Brazil also. pay differential duties. These canditions differ widely from those of the old tariff, and particularly from those stipulated in 1827. According to that treaty, all goods feel produce, natural or manufactured, of Great Britain, or her Colonies were freely imported into Brazil on payment of duties never elCeeuitig )6 par cent. on the value. It is worthy of remark that sevefal attieles of Brezilian production arc subject in England to duties, much more elevated, when they are delivered for internal consumption. According to the treaty, these articles had no other advantage than that of being bonded on the same conditions as similar productione of the English colonies. here, it must be confessed, is a very coesiders able change in position, and this innovation will be so much the more sensible in England, that her exports for Brazil amounted to 50 millions of francs a year. The French exports, which in 1843 showed a special com merce of 18 millions, will equally suffer from the D9W tariff. M. de Langsdorf has not been more fortunate than Mr. Ellis, the English agent, and in this struggle the Cabinet of Berlin will probably have the advantage over its competitors. What Brazil particularly wants from England are manufactured goods of wool, cotton, &c., wrought metals, prepared skins, and fermented liquors ; Germany is able to furnish all these articles, wines excepted, and she has already made some success ful attempts to accommodate several of her manufactur ing products to the Brazilian taste."

The excess is chiefly caused by deaths from small-pox and scarlatina. The deaths from the former are 51—average 17 ; and from the latter 84 — average 45. The 51 deaths from small-pox occurred at the following ages :—Thirteen under 1 year ; twelve, 1 to 3 ; thirteen, 3 to 5 ; five, 5 to 10; three, 10 to 20; four, 20 to 30; and one 30 years. The list of violent deaths is also very large, being increased by 25 cases, which occurred in the districts of Greenwich and St. Olave's, and which were registered only during last week, though on many of these inquests had been held at former periods. The bursting of a steam engine is another cause of the increase. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture or Contusion, 21 cases, of which four were by horses and carriages, 8 by falls, 1 by the fall of a hard body, and the remainder by means not stated. Drowning, 9 cases, of which 1 was accidental, 1 a suicide; in the remainder, juries have neglected to state, or could not ascertain, whether death was accidental or otherwise. Hanging, 1 case (suicide). Suffocation, 3 eases, of which 1 was murder, 1 accident, and 1 probably from accident. Poison, 3 cases, of which 2 were from ac •cident or mistake, and 1 a suicide. And Burns and Scalds, 13 cases. Total, 40 males and 10 females (in ellusdBi.ng 1 case put to tetanus) . —Fall o f ra i n i n inches, LATER FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNE6DAY NIGHT.

The Irish Orangemen —or rather the more bigoted section of that once powerful but now fast decaying fraternity—have at length come to the resolution of making a desperate stand against the threatened Edu cational Reforms of Sir ROBERT PEEL. This is just what we have been anticipating for some months past, though we thought that the hurricane would have been whistling about the Premier's ears long ere now, for it is full twelve weeks and upwards since he hinted in Parliament at the probability of those remedial experiments in the matter of education, which at the present moment are kindling the wrath of the Irish Orange faction to a degree bordering on absolute frenzy. The cry of these ferocious mal contents is no longer what it was at the last election— " PEEL and Protestantism 1" it is now " PEEL or Pro testantism !" implying thereby that either the Pre mier or the Established Church must be put down. The time for pursuing a mean course is passed. Moderation has ceased to be a virtue, and must henceforth rank among the iniquities. He who is not with us heart and soul ; who will not go the whole hog with us, and die with us in the last ditch in defence of that glorious Ascendancy-system which ..; we have clung to with such pertinacity all our lives— that man is our decided enemy. Even though he may entertain a lurking prejudice in our favour, still he is not to be trusted. Fannin habe lin cornu ! He is dangerous, and must be avoided as though he car ried about with him the seeds of a contagious malady. Such is the explicit and uncompromising language now held by the Orangemen, who are busy buckling on their armour preparatory to a last furious assault on the Irish policy of the " Socinian" Premier. The following remarkable passage from the Dubin Warder , will show that we have not in the slightest degree exaggerated the sentiments of this meek, tolerant, and unobtrusive faction :—" It is now plain that the sword is drawn, and the scabbard thrown away between Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Irish Protestant Chnrch and the Protestant people of Ireland. One or other must be put down! We have no sort of fear which it is to be. The Church may deserve a whipping for her short-sighted con duct in aidin g a selfish, hollow-hearted, treacherous, and weak poltroon into a position where, finding his genius u nequa l to his fortune , and his ' c ourage un equal to the ra ge o f his opponents , nts, he commences t 4T en g then i n g . his; bands by betraying his friends to it enemies, ,and varnishes over his own want of principle' by a splendid pret ence to superior disc ' i ' -nation, , liberality, and enlightenment. But th n o l u n gh . ( the the Church may be whipped, she shall not be de ', stroyed for the gratification of a Sucinian traitor. The struggle is a struggle for the existence of Erotestantism in Ireland. We must make LONDON THURSDAY EVENTING, N')VEMBER 21. 1344. THIS DAY'S NEWS CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat to-day at Westminster. Shortly after ten o'clock his Lordship heard motions. VICTOR V. DEVEREUX. The further arguments in this part-heard motion, which has already occupied the Court some time, were resumed, and occupied the Court the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England took motions to-day, none of which possessed any point of public interest. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) • (Sittings in Banco.) At the sitting of the Court this morning Mr. Justice Erie appeared on the bench and took the usual oaths as one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas. His Lordship was received by the Bench and the Bar standing. Having taken the oaths the Learned Judge bowed to the Judges of this Court and to the Bar and re tired. As he left the Court Mr. Justice Williams shook him heartily by the liana. THE: QUEEN U. BARNARD GREGORY. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, on being called on to move, said that he appeared for the prosecution in this case, hut he understood that his Learned Friend, Mr. Platt, was about to make an application on the part of the defendant. Mr. PLATT had to make two applications—first, that the period fixed for the bringing up the defendant to receive the judgment of the Court on an indictment to which he had pleaded guilty should be enlarged ; and, secondly, that the trial of the defendant on a criminal information, which at present stood fixed for the 29th of the present month, should be postponed. The defendant had pleaded guilty to two indictments in the Central Criminal Court, the one charging him with having pub lished a libel on the Duke of Brunswick, the other charging him with the publication of a libel on Mr. Valiance, the Duke's attorney. On these indictments he had been sentenced to two periods of imprisonment in Newgate—the one of eight months, the other of four months. Lord DtbiNAN—,Wbien will the whole term of his im prisonmenirexpire Mr. Pi47.2oii the,26th of this month, my Lord. The Leargeil Gentlemen then proceeded to state that in support of' this application he•had the affidavit of the defendant, which stated that he was suffering severely in his health in consequence of his imprisonment, that he had been visited by Sir Charles Scudansore, and Sir James Anderson, physicians, and Mr. Blood, Mr. Pelly, and Mr. M`Murcio, surgeons, who had certified to the Secretary of State for the Dome Department, that his health was in a dangerous state—that his health had been still further impaired recently by the rupture of a blood-veisel, and that he was incapable, from illness, of peeparimlo - : vke his : trial. The affidavit also stated that th i e4WwiiS' 'o44lie gaol did not allow the free , 4 use of lot ,1-Itnor did they permit him to have free access to his' tri fie papers, which were necessary for the preparation of his defence. The application was made bona fide, and not for the purposes of delay, for if he wete compelled to attend the Court his life would be endangered. a - Lord DENmAN—Do any of the medical men make an affidavit ? Mr. PLATT—No, my Lord. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—If there was an affidavit from any ene medical man, I would not resist the appli cation. Mr. PLATT—Do your Lordships think that the de fendant should be bro:::ht up at the risk of his life, for the purpose of giving his Pt, :s ie s e ecxors an opportunity of indulging their vindictive ;s ? Their object is L o r d plain—they T)tN3i wish AN to_ destroy ßut, 3slr this Platt,m a n e we Ir we want decide to ascertain if his life will really be in peril. At present we have little more than the statement of the party himself to that effect. Mr. PLATT—A habeas was obtained in the other Court for the purpose of bringing him up for judgment, and Mr. Justice Patteson on application enlarged the rule. The Court has already once consented to the post ponement of this case. Lord DENmAN—Perhaps the application was not op posed at that time ? Mr. PLATT—On, yes, my Lord, it was. There has not been a single step taken in this case in which we have not been opposed. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said, that if the present state ment had been supported by the affidavits of the medical men, it would not have been befitting in him to have opposed the application, so far as related to the judg ment of the Court. Mr. PLATT presumed that it would make no difference if he were now to add the affidavits of the medical men. Lord DENmaN thought that course might perhaps be adopted if Mr. Sergeant Talfourd would consent ; but it was not because the case had been postponed before that a further indulgence was now to be craved. If such affidavits were made as were satisfactory to Mr. Ser geant Talfourd, the better course, probably, would be, that both the period for bringing the defendant up for judgment and the period fixed for his trial should be postponed. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD only resisted the application because he mistrusted both the statements which had been made. It was ultimately arranged that the further consi deration of the application should be postponed until Saturday, and that in the meantime the affidavits of the medical men should be filed. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. JOEL SPINNER. Mr. POULSON moved for a rule to show cause why two inquisions taken on the bodies of two persons, who had died from accident on the river, should not be quashed. The proceedings had been already removed into Court by certiorari. There were several objections on the face of the inquisitions.—Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. THE REV. JOHN HAILSTONE. Mr. GUNNING in this case moved for a mandamus directed to the Rev. John Hailstone, Vicar of Botisham, calling upon him to show cause why he should not re store Thomas Flack to the office of parish clerk. He was appointed to the office of clerk fifteen years ago, and performed the duties of his office till the 14th of July. He was told by the vicar that he was removed from his office, and no reason was assigned by the vicar for such a proceeding. The clerk attended in church on the fol lowing Sunday, from which he was removed by two con stables, by order of the vicar, who gave notice to all per sons who might be desirous of having the office to send in their claims. Upon this the solicitor for the clerk applied to the vicar to know who his attorney was, as it was his (the clerk's) intention to apply to the Court. Mr. Justice PATTESON thought the proceeding a very extraordinary one, and could not but think that the whole of the facts were not before the Court. He would, however, grant a rule.—Rule nisi granted. EXPARTE C. C. WILSON. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the other day an application had been made by Mr. Peacock for a habeas corpus to the Island of Jersey, on behalf of Mr. C. C. Wilson, and that application was made on the affidavit of Mr. Wilson himself. That affidavit did not state what was the peculiar law of the Island of Jersey, stating merely that lie was in custody for an alleged con tempt of the Royal Court of that Island. He (the Soli citor-General) was now to apply to the Court for a rule to show cause why that writ should not be quashed quia improvide emanavit, or why a supersedeas should not issue. He thought it only respectful to his Lordship to bring the subject before him, because he believed if the circumstances of the case had been fully stated, his Lord ship would have hesitated before he granted the writ. The Court was quite aware, from the case of The King v. Hobhouse, that the granting of a writ of habeas dur ing term time was discretionary. He (the Solicitor- General) made the present application on the affidavit of the Procurator. General of Jersey, who stated that he had held the office of ProeufatOrGetteral sines 1893. He always understood, and believed, that the Island of Jersey, and the other Channel Islands, were annexed to the Crown of England .at the time of the Conquest by William Duke of Normandy, and that they were the only portions of that duchy which remained to England i, that Jersey was governed by peculiar laws and customs, essentially different from those of Eng land ; that the Royal Court of Jersey was composed of the baillie, twelve jurats, the Procurator-General, the Advocate-G eneral, &c., who had jurisdiction in all matters civil and r.krittiinel. 'the affidavit then weht oti to state the circumstances under which the Court ordered Mr. Wilson to be imprisoned. He (the Solicitor-General) would now draw the attention of the C our t t o th e po i nt whether this Court had power to isetie a *fit Of habeas corpus to the Island of Jersey ; and in the next place he would submit that if the Court had that power, it was discretionary with it witelltr it would grant it or not, and that the circumstances of this case were sticil Xs would induce the Court not to exercise it on the present occasion. The Learned Gentleman then referred to ['ord. Coke's 4th institute, p. 286, to show that a writ of habeas corpus would not run in Jersey, though the King's commission would. It was true there was a habeas corpus granted in the case of Overton, one of the regicides of King Charles, who took refuge in Jersey, where lie was imprisoned several yeafs. The note upon that case, however, was very imperfect.

Justice Coleridge's edition of Blackstone, col. that " prerogative writs from the King's Bench, such as thatidatiottis, prohibition may issue to every part of the dominions of the Crown of England. The slietinction was between a foreie dominion, which belonged to a Krinse atieeeedin4 td the dirt* Pr England, such as Hanover, and territories obtained hy dotitititist Or in any other mode annexed to the Crown of England. liddelsl.. nig tts this distinction pferogatite writs would not run in those islands as a part of the .buchY of Iftmenandy.' He (the Solicitor-General) 'would not go the length of ing that the Court had uoJurisdlOtiou at all With reglifd to this point, but he pr a yed in a id the doubt which eXieted, The usual course of proceeding in those cases was to apply to the Queen in Council, and it would be most in convenient if the Court, by granting a *Fit of habeas corpus, were to bring persons from Jersey or the Planta tions into this Court, where there was no person to ap pear for them. Under those circumstances, he thought that the Court, supposing it had the power to grant the writ, would hesitate, before it exercised the discretion with which it was vested, in a case like the present. The Court could, if it thought proper, order the de- • fendant to go at large upon bail. Mr. Justice PaTTesoN—lt is quite clear that you are entitled to a rule. When the motion was made be fore me I was certainly struck by its novelty, (And asked .5 Mr. Peacock to show me whether I had the power, and he immediately cited the Habeas Corpus Act, which seemed on the face of it to be direct and positive, and nothing more was said. I think it would have been bet ter if he had given me more information on the subject; but it might be also fairly said that I ought to have that information myself, and therefore it was a pity that the writ was issued without more consideration. With re gard to the bail, I do nut think it becomes me to direct anything on that subject, as it would be ratber begging the question, and perhaps carrying our authority further than the sending of the writ. I have no doubt that the Court there will do what is right. 'the rule was granted, and the time enlarged fur making a return to the writ. and to such an extent as to constitute him a trader. The question had been twice before juries, in actions at 11/14 prius, and in both cases the validity of the fiat had been affirmed. The evidence on the trial was given by an immense number of jockies, horse dealers, &c. On the point as to whether the trading was established by that evidence or not, his Honour would not give an oi4nion ; but he thought it would require a very strong case indeed to induce the Court to annul a fiat affirmed by two juries before whom the questions at issue must have: been directly brought. He should, therefore, refuse the peti tion. The remaining argumentw,which occupied the greater part of the morning, wero directed only to the question of costs, with respect to which his Honour reserved his decision. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE REGISTRATIONS. The Court this morning resumed the hearing of appeals from the decisions of the revising barristers, umler the Act of the 6th Victoria. RICHARDS V. POILE. This was an action for the recovery of the sum 11/. 11s. 6d. due for lodging and boarding the son of de fendant. BAXTER V. THE OVERSEERS OF DONCASTER. This was an appeal against the decision of the revising barristers for the West Riding of Yorkshire, who had refused to expunge from the list of voters certain assessors and collectors of assessed taxes, appointed by the Commissioners of the Land•tax. William Wamford deposed that he was a grocer and cheesemonger, near Peckham. Plaintiff is also a grocer. residing at Peckham. He, witness, knew;the defendant's son Thomas for some time, and remembers that he had been at Mr. Richard's for about four months, during last summer, it being intended to apprentice him to plaintiff. Plaintiff frequently requested defendant to complete the transaction, but several objections were raised, and delays made, and when the defendant decided on apprenticing his son, it was found that the lad would not consent to be bound. Upon his making this refusal, plaintiff said that if he would not be bound, he had better leave the place. as he was running up expenses all the time he remained there. Mr. [tildyard appeared for the appellants, and Sir Gregory Lewin for the respondents. The case was considered important, as it involved the votes of two persons in every parish in the kingdom. The question depends upon this, whether the 43d of Geo. llh is to be taken as repealing the 22d of the same reign, which excluded from the franchise all salaried public officers and servants ; and whether the claimants came under the category cf those public servants who are still excluded by the 43d Geo. 111. from voting at the ( lection of Members to serve in Parliament. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that those officers were not appointed by the Crown. They were com pelled, whether they liked it or not, to take upon them selves a troublesome and responsible office. There was another case set down for argument, in which a similar point was involved ; their Lordships, therefore, would hear that second case in its due course, and until then postpone the decision of the present case. George Richards (a lad about 16 years of age), the brother of the plaintiff, corroborated the previous en' deuce, and stated that in a conversation, at which he was present, plaintiff said that if the lad was not apprenticed he (defendant) would have expenses to pay, to which defendant answered that he knew that, but that he would apprentice his son. The third witness was John Harrison, who proved the drawing out of an indenture, for which one guinea was in the biil, upon which the action was founded. Mr. CHANNOCK, on the part of the defendant, said that he thought defendant was entitled to a nonsuit, be cause during the time that the lad was at the plaintiff's house, he served in his shop, and he (Mr. Charnock) considered that that was quite sufficient remuneration for his board and lodging. If an action had been brought by defendant for the wages of the lad during that time, no doubt Mr. Richards would have said that the board and lodging was a remuneration for the work; and, in doted, it was always understood, unless an agreement was made to the contrary effect, that, when a lad was taken upon trial, his work was payment for his board and lodging. The jury found for the defendant ; but gave 11. for the drawing up of the indentures. BAXTER V. NEWMAN. This also was au appeal from the decision of the re vising barrister of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The argument, having been partly heard, was postponed, in consequence of the illness of Mr. Martin. DAVIS V. WADDINGTON. The appellants in this case are the brethren of Jesus Hospital, Rothwell (Northamptonshire, N. D.), who claimed to vote upon the qualification of their life in terest in the property of that charitable foundation. The revising barrister disallowed the claim. Mr. MANSELL, in support of the appeal, cited nume rous cases to show that the brethren have a share in the proceeds of the freehold estate, so long as they observed the rules and orders of the hospital. That was an in terest " quando se bene gesserint," and therefore, accord ing to all the cases referred to, was to be held as a life interest in the freehold. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner flout°Yn.) IN RE J. M. COOKE. Mr. Sergeant BYLES, for the respondent, said that the brethren had not a life interest, for, according to the charter, the governors had not only the appointment of the " master and twenty-four poor and infirm men," but also the expulsion or removal of them, the master and brethren, " when and as often as" to them, the go vernors, or the majority of them, might seem fit. The charter laid down certain rules, for breach of which the master or any of the brethren should be expelled ; for instance, if he married, or was an " idler." But the governors were not limited by that specific law, for they had unlimited power to make bye-laws and regulations, and to expel for any reasonable cause. In fact, the free. hold was vested in the governors alone, and the brethren had no property. But ho felt so strong on the other part of the case, that he would not argue this latter point at present, especially as it would arise in the next -eal. The insolvent, whose case, it will be remembered, excited a considerable degree of interest, in consequence of his having been involved in gaming and bill transae" tions to a large amount, this day applied by Counsel for his tinal order, under the 28th section of the 7th and Bth of Victoria. Although the debts of a doubtful character exhibited against him amounted to several thousands , yet the bona fide claims were somewhat under 900 L Mr. BAGLEY, who appeared for some of the creditors , said that if the fraudulent debts were expunged there could be no question that the insolvent's estate and his own personal efforts would soon satisfy the claims which were really just, and the gentlemen he represented would therefore offer no opposition to the insolvent's apph cation. The final order was then granted. Lord Huntingtower was in Court in expectation of being examined in the case, but his Lordship was not called on to give evidence. ai ~ The ' , IID CHIEF-JUSTICE said th a t th e C our t was o f x nersons whose names were a tt em pt e d opinion that tnt: to be put upon the rt,;,7 stry had no freehold interest in the estate. The charter ga ,.1.1 to the governors in the most unlimited manner the powei of expelling them. The decision of the barrister is confirmet. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY ) William Roberts, a decent looking and very aged man with grey hairs, was charged with drunken and dis orderly conduct.

In this case a rule had been obtained by Mr. Cramp ton, on the first day of the present term, calling on the plaintiff in the action to show cause why an entry made at Stationers' Hall should not be expunged or varied, or why the plaintiff should not be restrained from using the said entry as evidence in the trial of the cause. Mr. Sergeant BYLEs moved this morning to set aside the rule. It appeared that a musical composer of great eminence at Milan, named Bellini, composed an opera called La Sonnambula, for the managers of the great theatre in that city, and that on the 19th of February, 1831, he sold the copyright to an Italian gentleman of the name of Ricardi, the managers of the Milan Theatre concurring in the sale. On the 9th of June, 1831, Mr. Ricardi sold the opera to Mr. Boosey, the plaintiff in the present action, by whom it was entered at Stationers' Hall. In 1841, Mr. Purday, the defendant, published a song, which was part of the opera in ques tion. The plaintiff remonstrated with him upon the subject, and Mr. Parday, or his brother, agreed to sup press the publication and destroy the plates. Notwith standing this agreement, Mr. Purday had, in the present year, published other parts of this opera, and fur that infringement of the copyright the action was brought. On the 13th of May, 1844, before the trial of the action, Mr. Boosey made another entry at Stationers' Hall, which was the entry now sought to be expunged. The parties had proceeded hitherto as far as declaration. The Learned Counsel then referred to the sth and 6th of Vic toria, relating to copyright, and contended if the rule were made absolute, the plaintiff would be deprived of an ad vantage which the legislature intended that he should possess. The case or Chappell and Purday, which was yet pending, afforded no criterion for the present. The Court here suggested that it would be desirable to let the matter stand over until Chappell and Purday had been decided. CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.).

(Before Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST.) THE BASINGBOURNE CASE—THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY TITCHMARSH, AGAINST CHAPMAN, CLERK—THE JUDGMENT. The Learned JUDGE upon the sitting of the Court this day, proceeded to pronounce judgment, and in doing so read through all the voluminous affidavits, commenting upon each point in the evidence as he went along. After referring to the demand made fur the first time in 1840, respecting the burial of Jane Rumbold by her father, when it was alleged that the Rev. Mr. Chapman refused to perform the burial service over it, on the ground that the child had not been baptised according to the rites of the Church of England, which circumstances the Learned Judge did not seem to consider as affecting the latter proceedings, he commenced with the demand made in 1841, against which it was alleged by the Learned Advocates on the part of the .t,ev. Mr. Chapman, that due and convenient notice had ,:ot been given previous to the corpse being brought to the churchyard. Upon this subject the Learned Judge said that alter a, careful perusal of the affidavits of John Rumbold, the child's father, of the Rev. Mr. Moorse, and of the de ponent Hopkins, he could not see that either of them had distinctly stated any facts which would lead to the conclusion the required " dae and convenient" notice had been given to Mr. Chapman. It was true that it deposed in the affidavit of Hopkins that when the corpse was deposited in the church porch, and he and John Ifuftibold went up to the Rectory to request that the funeral service might be read, the Rev. Mr. Chapman expressed a wish that he might have a witness present, thus leading to an inference (as he had a person present) that he had a previous intimation of the object of this visit, but he (the Learned Judge) could not decide that this fourth individual might not have been accidentally present. The Rev. Mr. Moorse, John Rumbold, and Hopkins had each had interviews with Mr. Chapman, and he (the Learned Judge) thought, that nothing could have been easier than to prove the fact, if either one of the three had given " due and convenient" notice to the Rev. Gentleman. In the affidavit of the Rev_ Mr.. Moorse, the most material points were those with respect to the deceased having received the sacrament of baptism, according to the observances and forms of Christianity ; and also with respect to the application to the Bishop, in 1840. In fact, through the whole of this gentleman's affidavit, there was not the smallest evi dence of notice having been given to Mr. Chapman. With respect to the affidavit of John Rumbold, the fathee of the deceased, again he (the Learned Judge) felt bound to say, that he thought no proof had beet i afforded of due notice being given. If those ministra- Lions were to be taken before a Court of' 4 Common law instead of an Ecclesiastical Court,. and tried under a statute instead of a canon, there must. hal-e been proof of a refusal to perform the lawful re-. qua-eruct-qv, after due and convenient notice of the per ibreaance of those rights had been given, isefore the party so charged would be subjected to the penalties of the statute, and Lord Denman had himself held this to be nedeBststy, It was precisely the same in this Court, for if it had been proved that sufficient notice had been given of the time of burial to the clergyman, and if after that he refused to " perf,rm his office," he was cle vrly guilty of an offence against the canon. It was his (Lite Learned Judge's) opinion, that every person must teel convinced that decency, and the due, and respectful, and effective performance of the required ministration, im peratively demanded that " due and convenient" notice, should be given to every clergyman, when he was re quired to perform any office of his ministry, and believing that, hi the present case, there had been a neglect of such obsers'ance, he felt bound to pronounce in the Rev. Mr. Chapman's favour, as it had not been proved that he was guilty of an offence against the canon, as the pre sent suit was promoted, and that the promoters had failed to establish the grounds of their suit. - MEAT MISILETS.
