SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The nearer the session of 1837 approaches, the more intense does the interest with which it is looked forward to become ; and no wonder, for it is admitted on all hands, that that session will be one of the most eventful on record. It is now clear to demonstration that the present anomalous state of things cannot much longer exist. The Tories themselves, though by no means celebrated for the quickness of their per ceptions in such matte's, are aware that it is beyond the limits of possibility for public affairs to continue to the end of next session in the position in which they now are. They see plainly that, as a party, they must either be restored to the councils of the King, or that they must cease to exist for ever. With them, there fore, the campaign of next session will be one of life or death. Need we say, then, that they will exert themselves in the great struggle to defeat the popu lar party, with an energy approaching to desperation. We speak advisedly when we say, that the Tories are already most actively engaged in making preparations for the conflict of the coming session. There is a constant co rrespondence at this moment going on — as there has been for some weeks past—among the leaders of the party, regarding the best tactics to be adopted. On this subject some difference of opinion has obtained among the Conservative chiefs. As we stated the other day, some of the more influential of the party, at the suggestion of certain possessors of hereditary wisdom, were for the adoption of some scheme by which the Sovereign might be induced to dismiss his present Ministers ; and thus at once afford the faction an opportunity of seizing the reins of Go vernment. To the ejection of the Melbourne Minis try by any means, no matter how foul, none of the party had any objection, considering the circumstance in an abstract light. Who indeed ever heard of a Tory being scrupulous as to the means employed to accom plish his object, provided only that the object was ac complished ? In the present case, however, some of the more prudent of the party mooted the question—how were the seats of the present Ministers to be retained after the Tories had possessed themselves of them ? A moment's reflection served to convince the most obtuse of the schemers, that with the present House of Commons it would be impossible for a Tory Govern ment to live for one little month. - But why not dis sjlve Parliament 2 The question was put, but it was at once seen that a general election just now would only aggravate the evil it was intended to remedy. The idea, therefore, of springin7, a mine on Lord Melbourne, as in 1834, and after they had them selves stepped into the vacant places in the councils of their Sovereign, appealing to the people, has been abandoned. The machinations of the faction now point to the meeting of Parliament. And our readers 71247 , 11 repose implicit fizith on our statement, when zee sag that several of their recognised leaders are at this moment as busy in devising schemes ,fir the defeat f the Ministry when Parliament meets, as if the time (2f meeting were fi.;:ed for next week. The great object to Lc obtained is the securing a ma jority—no matter how slender—against Ministers in the Commons. If they can only, by any means, leave the Government in a minority, though it were only of one, they are satisfied that their own triumph will be complete. Hence they have determined on using every effort which human ingenuity can suggest to accomplish that object. We are sure the people of this country will not feel Surprised, because they have long since ceased to 1 - cel surprise at auy course of conduct which the faction can pursue—we are sure no surprise will be felt, when we say that golden inducements, in the shape of situations, &c., are to he held out, if, in deed, they be not already held out, to such of the Liberal party as are supposed most likely to be influ ene;:d by them—to go over from the Reform to the Tory side. They calculate, that if they could only prevail on a dozen of the Liberals to apostatize, their object would be gained, as that would be tantamount to twenty-four votes—'An which case they have no t l O tht, that by the extraordinary means they would employ t o muster their own party, on some important occasion, in greater relative numbers than their oppo nents, they would succeed in obtaining a majority over Ministers. But, as they have their doubts whe ther a sufficient number of Liberals can, under any circumstances, be prevailed upon openly to de sert their principles and parts, and thus de grade themselves for ever in the eyes of the country, the Tories mean to use every effort in their power to induce as many Reform Members as possible to absent themselves, under such spe ciom pretexts as ingenuity may suggest, from their places in Parliament. They arc not without hope that between those who may be brought over query, bozQht over !—and those who may be be prevailed on to absent themselves from the House, thee will suc ceed in obtaining a majority of five or six. if so, with a Tory House of Lords, and a Tory Court, they have no doubt of being able to retain power so long as will enable them to perpetuate themselves in office by diminishing the power of the people—in other words, by virtually, enough clandestinely, repealing the most important provisions of the Reform Bill. To be fore warned is to be fore-armed. The great lesson to be learned from all this, is the necessity of union anion , the Reformers. In this way only can the machinations of the Tories be defeated. It will be necessary, also, that every constituency closely watch the conduct of their representatives, so as that they be able to detect the first symptom of a disposition to play into the. hands of the faction.—Morning Advertiser. We have copied from an evening Contemporary an acount of Sir Henry Parnell's reception at Dundee on Monday last. We certainly think the meeting did not sufficiently appreciate the value of what has been done by Ministers, or make sufficient allowance for the difficulty in the way of their doing more. But Mi nisters, on the other hand, must see from the difficul ties in which so very liberal a Member as Sir Henry Parnell is placed, that if a greater latitude be net allowed to men in office on certain questions, an ex clusion from all liberal towns must be the result. There must be mutual concessions for the sake of union.—Morning Chronicle. A full report of the proceedings of the great Pro • testant meeting held in Dublin on Wednesday has reached us by express. It will be seen that some dis tinguished friends of the Protestant cause who had been expected were unavoidably absent. But, not withstanding the disappointment, the character and proceedings of this important assembly were such as cannot fail to interest and gratify every reader who cares for the peace and welfare of Ireland, for the prosperity and safety of the United Kingdom, for the support and diffusion of pure religion, for the im provement of national and individual morality, for the maintenance of l aw and order, or, to sum up all in a word, for the protection and increase of public welfare and of private happiness. This was truly a great meeting in every sense in which the attribute of greatness is intelligible when applied to such an assembly. It was great in its numbers —great in the character and quality of those who composed it —great in its objects, and great —to an extent which forbids the apprehension of failure, and affords the fullest assurance that it will prove triumphant and irre sistible—in its power. The Protestant people of Ire land are now showing to the world their loyalty to the British Throne and Constitution, their invincible at tachment to British connection, their disposition and capacity to combine these feelings and principles, for which they ought to be cherished by their loyal fellow subjects of Great Britain, with other and still higher qualities, which ought to endear them to the whole family of mankind—the utmost charity and forbear ance towards their inveterate and rancorous foes, and the most generous and enlightened benevo lence towards the humbler classes of their communion. From the lateness of the hour at which we re ceived the account of the proceedings of this great, virtuous, and powerful assembly, we have time merely to refer in general terms of admiration to the various speeches by which its objects were enforced. Of many of them it may be justly said—and to award hinter praise would he impossible—that they were worthy of the exalted purposes which the meeting had in view. We cannot, however, withhold a few words upon the able, lucid, and in many respects gratifying, vt:,- Report of the Committee of the Irish Metropolitan Tr Conservative Society, which was read at the meet- P eet ' in', and formed the basis of its proceedings.

My Lord is, however, desirous of having the opinion of the committee upon that point, and upon the question how far to the west of Falmouth it may be advisable the steamer should proceed to effect the pur poses for which she is engaged.—l am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " H. L. MABERLY. " W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary at Lloyd's." At the port of Gloucester has been commeced the magnificent undertaking of forming a line of public wharfs upwards of 1,000 feet long, in continuation of the present basin (double its length), at which ships of the largest size, capable of entering the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, will be enabled to lay alongside and discharge their cargoes. At that point the canal is also to be widened thirty feet. A canal is likewise to be cut, the effect of which will be the removing of a considerable portion of the coal and barge trade to wharfs at some distance from the present basin, and the giving of greater facilities for the larger vessels. About twenty years ago, a baker, who then lived this town, entered into a matrimonial engagement with a young woman, after having set himself up in business, and in course of time had by her a daughter. Some time after wards, however, lie left the town, and a report having sub sequently prevailed that he was dead, his wife wore we e d s on that account. By-and-by another suitor appeared, and be having met with a favourable reception, the connubial knot was tied. Matters proceeded harmoniously, and the birth of two children augmented the happiness of the parties. It was never for once imagined that the first husband would appear and interrupt their bliss. Their astonishment may therefore be imagined, when, like one risen from the dead, he revealed himself last week, inquired for and claimed his wife. How the matter has been settled amongst the parties interested, we know not.—Dundee Chronicle. On Tuesday we found acres of crop, not only uncarried, but actually uncut, in the parish of Terregles, within three miles of the town of Dumtlies. We learn from Wigan, that hundreds of milkers that are not expected to calve before April or May must be slaughtered, to avert, as the phrase goes, the evil of " eating off their own heads." At present the butchers take off about a hundred cows weekly, and, if trade continue good, the demand will increase as the season advances.--Dun fries Courier. On Saturday week, the barn, stables, &c., of Thomas Wilson, Esq., of Thorns, near Underbarrow, were discovered to be on fire. By the strenuous efforts of the neighbours, the flames were extinguished, but not until pro perty to the amount of near 4001. was destroyed. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary, and a neigh bouring farm servant, named Thomas Atkinson, was appre hended on suspicion, and some strong circumstances coming out, was committed for further examination.—Whitehaven Herald. The Scarborough and York mail narrowly escaped being upset on Saturday evening, when about two miles beyond Malton, in consequence of coming in contact and getting locked with a waggon, returning from Malton market, the driver of which was heedlessly proceeding on the wrong side of the road. A man named Cornelius Hope was brought up on Friday last at the New Bailey, charged by his wife, a respectable looking woman with having assaulted her on the evening of Thursday. She stated that she was in a fainting fit at the time he committed the assault, which he did by striking and kicking her. She certainly presented a shocking appearance ; her face was completely black, and a large piece of linen was produced, which had been satu rated with blood. The brute was bailed.—Manchester Guardian. TIIE CHASE.—The chase is more interesting to the human feelings than any other subject ; since those persons even who have never practically experienced the excitement arising from the sports of the field, uniformly listen with de light to the recitals of the sportsman. We have felt the inspiration of the grouse mountains a thousand times ; we have experienced the pleasure of partridge shooting, from the time we were able to raise the tube to our shoulder ; we have many times noticed the responsive sympathy called forth by the turning of the hare and the twisting of her lengthy pursuers ; we have experienced the rapture arising from the deep mellow tones of the harrier ; but of all the sensations that ever vibrated upon our nerves, as far as re lates to intensity of excitement, nothing can be compared to fox-hunting. _ DEBTS OF EDINBURGH.—We understand that at the private meeting of the Council on Friday, it was an nounced that creditors of the city, to the amount of about 50,0001., through the exertions of the Lord Provost, had given in their adhesion to the terms proposed, and that the most sanguine hopes are entertained that creditors for the remaining sum of between 50,0001. and 60,0001. will accede, by which the amount of four-fifths of the whole debt, being the proportion required by the Act of Parlia ment, will be obtamed.—Caledonian Mercury. A frightful event has lately spread consternation and dread among the inhabitants of Epinal. M. B—, a notary, had constructed a large house, three stories high, in a new street that had just been opened. Afe iv days since the masonry was completed, and a fete was given to the work men who had been engaged in the building. The sth of November the weather, which was r ainy , had only allowed the attendance of a few workmen, who came to finish the wood-work of the roof. They were eight in number. On a sudden a terrible noise was heard—the house had just fallen in—and only two walls were left standing. The eagernesp with which the ruins were cleared away, in spite of the im minent danger, speedily caused the unfortunate men in terred among them to be found. Three were dead, three horribly crippled, and the others slightly wounded. A year since the town of Epinal also had to deplore a fatal accident of the same:pature.—Paris Paper. the Institution, and the unhappy peculiarities in the social and political state of Ireland which call for its exertions, with a degree of truth and power which have seldom been equalled in productions of the same nature. The design of the Society is proclaimed in the Report of its Committee : "To unite together all who are willing to make common cause in upholding the religion of the Re formation, and the principles of civil and religious liberty, of which under God it has been the founda tion, • and for that purpose to employ such means as may seem advisable and constitutional ; to facilitate and promote the registration of Protestant voters, and the dissemination of sound political and religious in formation amongst their Protestant brethren through out the empire ; and to give in every way, by the esta blishment of loan funds, and all such other means as may be practicable, protection and assistance to the humbler classes of Protestants." That such an asso ciation is necessary in the present state of Ireland, and that if its objects be prosecuted with vigour and dis cretion it may exercise a most important and beneficial influence upon the destinies of that country, and the general welfare and happiness of the empire, no rea sonable man can for a moment doubt ; nor, if any judgment is to be•formed as to the future course of the society, from the temper displayed at the meeting of Wednesday—or from the more deliberate Re port of the Committee—which is perhaps a fairer criterion, will there appear the least reason to appre hend that the proceedings of the Association are likely to be deficient in the qualities either of firmness or moderation—of energy or prudence. The treatment which the Protestants of Ireland have recently ex perienced from the British Ministry and their Roman Catholic allies has been such as might have excused, if it could not justify, some warmth of language in a Report, one of the professed objects of which is to vindicate the promoters of this Protestant Association. That defensive Association, the Orange Union, was oiven up by the Protestants of Ireland , in deference to b the declared wish of the British Government and Legis lature ; and the Protestants of Ireland had a right to expect that the Government would have rewarded this voluntary submission to its wish by redoubled exertions to protect them from violence and outrage ; that the conspiracy which had been so long engaged in constant, implacable, and lawless hostilities upon the Protestant Church would have been sternly rebuked ; that the utmost vigilance and energy of Government would have been exerted to prove to them that in divesting them selves of their defensive organisation, and trusting to the power of law and government for their protection, they had not exposed themselves and their religion to additional danger, violence, and insult. This would have been to keep faith with the Protestants of Ireland. But faith has not thus been kept with them. On the contrary, illegal violence against the Protestant Church, and against the persons of all who dared to assert the inviolability of its legal property and rights, has been in dulged, in measure more unstinted than ever, with the open sanction or ill-disguised connivance of Govern ment ; the aid of the public force, for the protection of property in tithe, has been refused or withheld ; the conspiracy against this description of property, and the lives of all who should venture to act in any man ner in its defence has been permitted, in secure im punity, to acquire increased audacity and strength ; and, to complete the summary of indignity and wrong, an Association has been formed for the avowed pur pose of coercing the Legislature to adopt measures most repugnant to the feelings and the interests of the Protestant portion of the country, the author and the chief of this Association being no other than the most cherished and most courted ally of the British Ministry. To this indecent, fraudulent, and insult , ing conduct towards the Protestants of Ireland, the Committee of the Protestant Conservative Associa tion might have been expected to advert in terms of acrimonious reproach or of withering contempt. From such terms, however, the Report wholly abstains, preserving throughout a tone of dignified calmness, which presents a strikin , contrast to the resolutions and manifestos which daily issue from the association for Ministerial agitation under the management of Mr. O'Connell. There is another point of contrast, still, perhaps, more striking between this Protestant Asso• ciation, and that over which Mr. O'Connell presides on behalf of the King's Ministers. The former an nounces, as we have seen, that one of its principal objects is, "to give in every way, by the establishment of loan funds, and all other such means as may be practicable, protection and assistance to the humbler classes of the Protestants." The Melbourne-O'Con nell Association reverses this order. One of the main objects of its leader and founder is to extort, " by all such means as may be practicable," pecuniary " assis tance from the humbler classes" of Roman Catholics." —Morning Post. Provost Key, of Dundee, has received a letter from Sir Henry Parnell, authorising him to contribute one hun dred guineas, in Sir Henry's name, towards defraying the debt on the public seminaries of that town. ACCIDENT TO THE BRISTOL MOIL.--The Bristol mail was standing before the White Horse Cellar at the usual starting time on Tuesday, without the restraint of either coachman or guard, when the horses suddenly took fright, and started off at a fearful rate down Picca dilly. In its career the coach was driven against a cab, overturning it and the horse, and doing very considerable damage. Near Hamilton-place a coach was driven against, but the shock was in a slanting direction, and the injury was consequently confined to the horses in the coach. The mail-horses went at full speed up the hill leading to Hyde Park, and this having breathed them a little, and an acci dent having occurred to the splinter-bar, a person was enabled to stop them, and to put an end to the danger. In the mail were two ladies and a gentleman, who escaped in jury by extraordinary good fortune. The mail was so much damaged as to be unfit to go on to Bristol, and, in conse quence, another vehicle was procured, which started about nine o'clock. _ _ _ _ _ _ An awful instance of the uncertainty of human life, which has cast a deep gloom over the inhabitants of San quhar, occurred there on Wednesday last. On the evening of that day, Mr. Robert Thomson, farrier and blacksmith, after having performed the duties of his usual, occupation, apparently in good health, retired to his own house, where, whilst engaged in reading, and surrounded by his family, the book suddenly fell from his hand, his head dropt on his bosom, and in a moment the spark of life had fled, without a murmur or a struggle. Medical aid was immediately pro cured, but apoplexy had too instantaneously fulfilled its mis sion. The deceased was in the prime of life.—Duntfries Courier. --- - ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS.—On Monday fore noon a highly respectable lady got into one of the city om nibuses in Piccadilly, and desired the conductor at the time to put her down at the end of Chancery-lane, in Fleet street. The vehicle drew up at the latter place, and the lady, on putting her hand into her pocket to pay her fare, discovered that her purse, which contained seventeen sove reigns and a-half, and some silver, had been stolen since the time she had taken her seat in the vehicle. She at once made known her loss to the other passengers, among whom was a highly respectable county magistrate, who all at once expressed their willingness to be sear c h e d. This, however, was too late, as the lady on being questioned, recollected that a well-dressed female who had sat by her, and on that side in which her purse was in her pocket, had got out of the omnibus a short distance on the west side of Temple bar. She also recollected that the person alluded to ap peared very fidgetty while in the vehicle, so no doubt remains as to her being the thief. STATE OF TRADE IN MANCHESTER.—The gloom which hangs over the money market in London, pro duces, of course, its share of effect upon the business of this town ; and mercantile transactions are generally con ducted with great caution. Still, with the exception of _silks and printing cloths, which are seldom in demand at this season of the year, no important branch of manufacture can be said to be suffering under any serious depression ; and the demand for yarn ° for export continues decidedly good. In fact, during the period of excitement, the staple business of this district was generally, and with ver y slight exceptions, conducted on sound and ligiti. mate principles ; and we trust that the utmost evil which will be experienced will be a temporary diminution of activity. —Manchester Guardian. A poor woman lost her life by poison, on Saturday last, under very distressing circumstances. The deceased, quantity of of I porridge,as ready of she what. pour e d it out, and Jane Taney, was a poor widow , about 45 years of age, who obtained a miserable livelihood b y collecting rags and bones. appeared to be o S a :) t e me m al ; l ate ad when an qai scraping the pan out she ate the scrapings with great vora city, being evidently very hungry. When sh e had eaten this she said, " Oh, my throat is burning, there is something in that meal there should not be." Before her death she said that she had found the meal in New Brown -street. It is most' probable that it had been intended to poison rats or mice in one of the warehouses there, and had been ac cidentally swept into the street.—Manchester Guardian. LAW INTELLIGENCE ROLL'S COURT.—Nov. 17. WILLIAMS V. CALVERLEY. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, his Honour, after hearing Counsel, post poned the further hearing of the case until to-morrow morning (this day). VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 17. THE MARQUIS OF BREADALBANE V. THE MARQUIS AND MARCHIONESS OF CHANDOS. The further bearing of this motion was resumed this morning. Mr. KNIGHT moved for an injunction on the part of the Noble plaintiff to restrain the Marquis and Marchioness of Chandos from availing themselves of a decree in their favour pronounced by the Court of Session of Scotland in respect to the claim of the Marchioness to a sum of 130,0001. out of the estate of her father, the late Marquis of Breadal• bane ; and further, to restrain the trustees of the will of the late Marquis from paying the money, and Lord and Lady Chandos from taking any proceedings in this country or in Scotland against the trustees to enforce pay ment. By the law of Scotland a third part of the moveable or personal estate of a deceased Scotchman, having chil dren, was divisible among them as their legitim, or bairns' part, as it was sometimes called, and of which portion their natural father could not disappoint them. Any of the children might in the lifetime of their father contract themselves out of their right to legitim, not indeed so as to make the father a purchaser of their shares, but to increase the shares of the other children who had not so contracted, for the legitim or bairns' part remained undiminished to the other. Another point in the law of Scotland necessary to be brought to the recollection of the Court in this case was, that the heir-at-law taking real estate was bound, in the Scottish phrase, to collate, or, as it was expressed in the English law, to bring into hotchpot, his real estate, if he claimed any share of the legitim or portion natural. The late Lord Breadalbane, although an English Peer, lived and died a domiciled Scotchman. He left three children, namely, the present Lord Breadalbane, Lady Mary Chan dos, and Lady Elizabeth Pringle. Supposing, therefore, nothing had occurred to prevent the rule of Scotch law from taking effect, one-third of the personal property would have been divided among the three children. Lord Bread albane, however, must have collated his real estates, and as these estates were large, the rule of law would have indirectly operated a substantial exclusion of his Lordship for the benefit of his two sisters. If; on the other hand, Lady. Chandos and Lady Pringle had both contracted them selves out of their shares, Lord Breadalbane, being the only child entitled, would take the whole legitim without the necessity of collating. And this his Lordship now con tended, under the circumstances, was the true state of things. Lord and Lady Chandos and Lady Elizabeth Pringle was excluded by contract ; and that was no doubt true. But they also contended that Lady Chandos was not excluded, so that the question who was en titled to the legitim lay between Lord Breadalbane and Lady Chandos. Shortly after the death of the late Marquis of Breadalbane in 1834, Lord Chandos, who, as an English nobleman, was not conversant with the laws of Scotland, was informed of the rule of Scottish law by Lord 13readalbane. In consequence a suit in Scotland was instituted by the trustees of the late Lord Breadalbane analogous to an English interpleader, in which suit Lord and Lady Chandos intervened, and obtained a decree establishing her title to letigim. That question arose upon her Ladyship's marriage settlement, which was made in 1819. By that instrument the late Lord Breadal bane gave his daughter a marriage portion of 20,0001. down, and a reversionary 10,000/., payable on his death ; but no words were inserted to exclude her from her right to legi tim. The question was, whether, without express words of exclusion, where a father in his lifetime gave his daughter a marriage portion, that did not amount to a virtual exclusion of her light. The Court of Session decided thnt without a clause of exclusion in the settlement, she was not excluded. The case was afterwards brought before the House of Lords, which affirmed the decision of the Courts of Scot - land. After the decision of the Court of Session, Lord Breadalbane for the first time consulted his English lawyer. According to the habit of the profession, this gentleman, hearing that the decision was at variance with the inten tions of the late Lord Breadalbane, inquired did nothing precede the settlement ? Mr. Vizard looked, and a paper was found containing the heads of the settlement agreed to by Lord Lauderdale and Mr. Grenville to be made on the marriage, which heads were expanded by the English soli citors, or Mr. Hodgson, the conveyancer, before whom they were laid. Mr. BURGE, on the part of the Marquis and Marchioness of Chandos, opposed the motion. In the present case, as stated, there was nothing but presumption and conjecture of an intention on the part of Lady Chandos, at the period of her marriage, to renounce her claim. There was no evidence whatever of the existence of a contract on the sub ject such as the law required. The Learned Counsel then detailed most minutely, and at very great length, all the events , from the negotiation of the marriage down to the present suit. Lord Lauderdale was an advocate at the Scottish bar, and was perfectly familiar with the nature of this right. If it were a mere matter of course to introduce the renunciation oflegitim, how came it that Lord Lauder dale permitted the settlement to be made without the in sertion of the clause ? The Learned Counsel insisted on the necessity of absolute contract. His HONOUR, at a late hour, reserved his judgment, and requested the books of style to be left with him. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, _Nor. 17. THE KING V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE MANCAESTER GUARDIAN. Mr. CRESSWELL applied on behalf of Mr. Royds to their Lordships for a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the defendants, for a libel published by them upon the character and conduct of Mr. Royds. It would be in the recollection of Lord Denman that two persons had been tried before him upon the charge of having committed a highway robbery on the person of a young gentleman named Royds, the son of the gentleman now complaining of the libel. The two pri soners had been convicted and sentenced to death, but the sentence had been changed to transportation. Some persons had interested themselves in procuring a commu tation of the punishment, and among other grounds upon which it was supposed the mercy of the Court ought to be extended to the prisoners, was one founded upon the alleged confession of some men who had been tried and convicted at Shrewsbury upon a different charge. It was said that the confession of these men clearly exculpated the men who had been convicted be fore Lord Denman. As the Royal mercy was not at once extended to these prisoners the defenda nts chose to attribute the circumstance to the improper interference of Mr. Royds, and on the 19th of October there appeared in their paper an article reflecting upon his character and conduct in a manner which, if true, would show him to be unworthy of longer holding the commission of the peace. The Learned Gentleman then referred to an article contained in the Manchester Guardian, which accused Mr. Royds of having improperly interposed between the men convicted of the robbery and the mercy of the Crown. The paper attri buted to his influence the refusal of mercy to these pri soners, and said, " It is easy for a man introduced by an in fluential Member of Parliament to influence the mind of Mr. Capper, and to persuade him that there was no ground for the application for the Royal mercy ;" and it then went on to attribute the opposition to party motives, which Mr. Royds also denied. Lord DulimaN—We think, Mr. Cresswell, that you have made out a case of imputations being cast on Mr. Royds sufficient to entitle you to a rule on his behalf ; but without going with you in the latter part of your observa tions, for there may be many cases in which such discussions would be both proper and necessary. Mr. CRESWELL did not mean to deny that.—Rule granted. ORINDELL V. GODMAN. This was an action of assunipsit for money laid out and expended in an indictment preferred against the defendant for an assault committed by him upon his wife. The plaintiff had advanced the money to enable the wife to pro secute the indictment, and now sought to recover from the husband the sum expended in prosecuting him. A verdict had been given for the plaintiff ; and a rule had been since obtained to set aside that verdict, and enter a nonsuit. Mr. CRESSWELL now showed cause. Lord DENMAN said that their Lordships were all satis fied that the present action was not maintainable. The rule for a nonsuit must be made absolute. It was impos sible to say that the prosecution of a husband by his wife could be necessary. There was another mode of pro ceeding—she might might exhibit articles of the peace against him, and if that proceeding had been necessary the attorney might have recovered from the husband the expense incurred on that account. The case of Stephen v. Ailackoul was certainly an authority for that. In the case reported in Mr. Chi!lard and Mr. Young there was an express agreement on the part of the hus band to pay the costs if they were found reasonable. As to Harris v. Lee, reported in " Peere Williams," the question there was, whether the trustee appointed under a hus band's will to sell his lands and pay his debts could be called upon to the money advanced by a third person for the expense of curing the wife of illness occasioned by the husband's misconduct. The Lord Chancellor thought that that might be done, considering that the money had been actually expended in procuring necessaries for the wife. If the indictment by the wife in this case against the husband could not be supported, there could be no reason for calling on the husband to pay the costs incurred in preferring it. Mr. Justice PATTESON concurred—All the cases re ferred to were those in which the articles supplied were clearly necessaries for the wife. Was it possible to say that such was the case with regard to an indictment against the husband? Was it necessary as a potection for the wife? He thought not, and was therefore of opinion that the rule must be made absolute: The other Judges concurred.—Rule absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 17. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.-By the 9th and 10th of William 111., c. 44, section 89, it was provided that bills under the seal of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, commonly called " bank bills " should be re ceived instead of certain taxes. There, therefore, was a Parliamentary definition of a " bank bill," on which they were in the habit of borrowing, taking up, and owing money. It was clear, therefore, that it was Bank Bills of this description that were; prohibited by the 6th of Anne. In the 11th of George 1., which was one of the Bank Acts, the last section, after reciting the frequent forgery and alteration of Bank bills and notes, declared such for gery or alteration of "any Bank bills or Bank notes" to be a felony. Now bills of exchange were clearly not within that Act, which showed that at that time the Bank was not anxious about securities of that description. The 2d George 11. was the first Act which made the forging of bills of exchange a felony ; and another Act was passed in the same reign, extending the crime to the forgery of ac ceptances ; so that it was evident from them that a bill of exchange was not considered a bill within the meaning of the prior Acts. There was only one other Act to which it was necessary to refer, but which was one on which his Learned Friend Mr. Maule very much relied—namely, the 7th Geo. IV., c. 46, sections 3 and 19, by which it was enacted that those companies who did not reside beyond 65 miles from London were not to make any bills of exchange contrary to the provisions of the act of 89 and 40 Geo. 111. But if that act contained no provisions interdicting the making such instruments, these words could not have the effect of imparting such a meaning to it ; they could not impart an additional restrait to a preceding enactment, when there was not one word in the act so referred to about bills of exchange. But, to remove all doubt on this point, it was only necessary to refer to the act 3 and 4 William IV., which contained a legislative enactment that the mo nopoly of the Bank of England was confined to the bor rowing, taking up, or owing money on bills and notes at a less date than six months from the borrowing thereof. If, then, the 6th of Anne applied only to bills under seal and promissory notes, then it would be impossible to give the effect to the words of the 7th and Bth Geor g e 'IV., for which his learned friend contended. For these reasons he submitted that the evil intended to be prohibited was the issuing of paper in the shape of bank bills or pro missory notes ; and that bills of exchange were not within the meaning of the acts in question. If so, there was an end of this case, and the defendants were entitled to their Lord ships' judgment. But supposing the Court were to hold that the word " bills," as used in those acts, was a term comprehending every species of bill, as well bill of exchange as others, still, as there was no borrowing on a bill in this case, the defendants were equally entitled to judgment. The object of the prohibitory clauses of these statutes, was to restrain the evil of borrowing sums of money on securi ties of this description. According to the words of the act, there must be a borrowing on a bill at less than six months date from such borrowing. Where, then, in this case were the months to run from ? What was the terminus a quo they were to commence ? When did the borrowing take place—for the borrowing was the very essence of the transaction which was struck at by the Act ? After re ferring to the Irish Bank Act (21st and 22d George III.), which imposed a forfeiture of treble the sum borrowed, in order to show what was meant in an act passed pari ma teria by borrowing, the Learned Counsel contended that a banker with whom a customer deposited. money did not borrow that money, for he was liable to pay it to the cus tomer's order at any moment upon his check being pre sented. Such a deposit did not constitute a loan in the mind of any commercial man. The Bank of England themselves received deposits from private customers ; and would it be said that they were borrowers from those cus tomers ? If so, they would be guilty of an infringement of the act. But such deposits were not loans. By the 3d and 4th of William IV. the Bank of England was bound to make a return of the amount of their circulation and of their deposits ; but if their deposits were loans, they should return their amount as so much money borrowed. But supposing that the deposit is the borrowing, then there is nothing in the present case to show when the borrowing took place, or that the bill in question was drawn at less than six months from the time of such borrowing. And in giving a construction to the words of this act, the Court would bear in mind that it was a penal act, and in restraint of trade, and therefore to be construed strictly. If their Lordships were to put the construc tion contended for on the other side upon it, they would prevent any joint-stock company from paying a debt for goods sold and delivered by their acceptance at less than six months. Supposing the Westminster Bank owed a bill for stationery, would his friend say that it would be illegal on their parts to accept a bill for its amount? Or supposing they accepted it for the rent of their house, would that be illegal ? The Statute of Usury had been referred to, as showing what was meant by borrowing ; but that act did not apply, because it contained words which included any contract where more than 5 per cent. was taken for the forbearance of a debt. Suppose no debt existed at all at the time when the bill was drawn, what would his learned friend say then ? That might be an irregular transaction, but it was clear it could not come within the words of the 6th of Anne, since no money was borrowed. All this brought him back to the evil which was intended to be met—namely, the borrowing of large sums of money on Bank bills and promissory notes. But suppo sing that a bill of exchange was a bill within the meaning of the 6th of Anne, and that a deposit was a borrowing, still, according to the facts of this case, the defendants had not borrowed money on their bill, within the words of th e section in question. He (the Attorney-General) , con tended that the persons prohibited were those who issued the paper themselves ; and there was no pretence for saying that the defendants issued this bill- It was the drawer who issued it, and not the acceptor, In common mercantile language, it was called his bill of ex change ; and it was in the language of the law ; for in de claring on such a bill the pleader stated that " he (the drawer) made his certain bill of exchange in writing," &c. ; and, indeed, such bill might be circulated without ever hav ing been accepted at all. And what would his Learned Friend say to a parole acceptance of a bill of exchange, for foreign bills of exchange might still be accepted by parole, as might have been inland bills until the passing- of Sergeant Onslow's Act ? Suppose, then, such parole promise to pay the amount of a bill, which would amount to an acceptance, could it be said that the acceptor was borrowing or taking up money on " his bill," although he had never seen the bill in question at all ? So also of the case of a conditional acceptance. Suppose a partnership accepted a bill of ex change for honour ; they would owe upon it, and certainly might be sued upon it ; but could it be said' that they had borrowed or taken up money upon it ? The Learned Counsel, after pressing this argument at some length, then proceeded to examine the various decisions of the Courts of Law bearing upon this subject, and insisted, that although they were somewhat conflicting, and not sa tisfactory, yet as far as they went the weight of authority was in the defendants' favour. He ridiculed the idea of this proceeding having been instituted for the good of the public ; private banks of not more than six partners al ready did what was here attempted to be prevented, and the public made no complaint on the subject ; would they, then, be more likely to complain when they had a larger number of persons as security for their money ? No such thing : on the contrary, lie (the Attorney-General) was standing up for the public in resisting this attempted prohi bition, which, if successful, would have the effect of inflict ing a deep wound on commerce. After apologizing for having occupied so much time, the Learned Counsel said he should sit down confident that the judgment of the Court would be in favour of his clients. Mr. MAULS rose in reply, and maintained that if the principle in this case were decided for defendants, it would be destructive to public credit, and utterly destructive to the chartered privileges of the Bank of England. His Learned Friend had adduced, in the course of his argu ments, that the act committed by defendants could not be considered an infringement of the privilege of the Bank of England, inasmuch as that body never themselves accepted such bills, and that they could not be injured by that sin glc'act. He did not mean to say that they had been yet injured ; but the object of the present proceedings was to put a stop to the system before it reached an injurious ex tent. If their Lordships decided in favour of defendants, there would be nothing to prevent them from establishing a Bank in St. James's, St. Giles's, or any other part of London, with powers equal to the Bank of England. They might issue paper money payable at the shortest dates, which might have the power of to some extent displacing bank-notes. There were very few banking companies con sisting of more than six partners. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET.—There were some at Bristol. Mr. MAULE—Yes, there were one or two at Bristol, and probably that was the reason why the Bristol Banks did not accept bills. The statute of Anne was undoubtedly intended to give the Bank of England the exclusive privi lege of issuing bills under seal. It was a concession on the part of his Learned Friend that the word " bills"ui that act did not mean bills in Equity, or bills of Mid dlesex.— ( A laugh.) Some imputations had been leve lled at t h e directors of the bank for coming forward to protect their privileges, whatever they might be ; but in so doing those gentlemen had only done what they conce ived to be their public duty ; and were not lending themselves to any mo tives apart from that consideration. He (Mr. Maule) might, if he chose, retort on the other side, and say that this was a mere collusion between Mr. Alfred Musgrave, of the great Bank of St. Alban's, and the Westminster Bank But it was not on imputations like those on either :ode that the Court would decide the question, and he would therefore pass on from them. The Learned Gentleman then went through the various Acts of Parliament on the snbject, and maintained that defendants had decidedly in fringed their enactments. He then entered at length into the cases and opinions cited by the Attorney-General when the Lord Chief Justice suggested an adjournment of the case. The Learned Gentleman's further arguments were ac cordingly adjourned till to -morrow. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 1 . 1. Mr. B. R. Haydon, the historical painter, brought up from the King's Bench Prison, applied on his pet ition to be discharged. The application was not opposed by his credi tors. He was supported by Mr. Cooke. The schedule contained debts contracted from 1831, making in all a gross amount of 1,691/. 16 s. 6d. Insol vent had received, in consideration of the above, 1220/. 6s. 6d. The residue were debts which had been entered! more than once on the schedule ; and the ocher debts for which he had not received any consideration. The profits of his professian in 1831, it appeared, amounted to 637/- 10s., and the profits of the present year amounted to 947/: , • ncluding the amount of subscriptions at several times eol 'acted for his picture of Xenophon. Insolvent asc ribed the cause of his present misfortunes to the heavy law costs to which he had been subjected, and to loss tha t he sug-' tained by his exhibition of the picture painted in e el& bration of the passing of the Reform Bill, and also to the consequences that had followed an attack made 1 1 1 3 " him in Fraser's Magazine. In the balance-sheet, the loss on the exhibition of Earl Grey's picture, was set down at 240/. 16s. Bd. The losses sustained upon the exhibition of the pictures of Xenophon and Be" - parte were set down at 31/. Insolvent had inserted i! in h special balance-sheet different sums which he had re eive d from delivering lectures on painting at various institutions' and also a present which he had received from the pud ic° of Kent. In the period which the transactions of the schedule included he had disbursed 300/. for law c °sts. There were several solicitors appeared as creditors in the schedule. He had been detained in custody since the 1 01 September last. the Mr. Commissioner LAW haying carefully gone over schedule, did not put a single question to the insolventAf He declared him entitled to the benefit of the Act , °- ordered him to be discharged forthwith. Mr. Frederick Samson Thomas, historical painter e n d modeller, was opposed in person by a creditor nar e :, Matthewson, and Mr. Cooke supported the petition o . c -11 insolvent. Insolvent, it appeared, had painted two pi c tures, were considered masterpieces—the subjects were C E TI raising the Widow's Son," and the " Woman taken in Aciu tery." These be had exhibited. The former had been el: deamed in execution for the rent of the room at 15/., 0° a withstanding that the frame alone had cost nearly 40/. , Ti e the painting had been estimated at upwards of 2801- other picture he had only been employed to paint. via The COURT was of opinion that nothing had been she e to prevent the insolvent being discharged. He w as a-- cordingly discharged forthwith. • $ (1, James Charles Grant, a young man fashionably described as a gentleman, was opposed by Mr. Cha ri ,,, Dods, solicitor, in person. Insolvent was supported Mr. Woodroffe. Insolvent was now in his 23d year' $ Insolvent had been sued by the opposing creditor on bill of exchange, drawn by a young man named Fin l3s t 'he companion of the insolvent. The action commenced,no Palace Court, but was removed to the Court of l' - ` 7 ,4 Bench. The declaration was demurred to, and o n its b e n - e , placed on the special list, a delay of nine months Wa s - re r casioned, and an expense of 301. incurred. The damns was ultimately dismissed, and judgment was obtained. he Mr. DODS complained of the great expense to vib iel ' l ,ol had been subjected in the action. He denied that he h ". 10 known the bill to have been accepted by insolven t sl-j ed incarcerated in the Fleet Prison. He had been inforoloa that insolvent was a young man of great expectations, a attlr ,g 9 that his connections were very wealthy. Insolvent admitted that he had accepted the bill tooblig; a friend when he was in prison. He was at the time detained at the suit of two bootmakers and one tw ee , After a few months' confinement he obtained his dis ch le He was now in custody for a debt of 601., contracted the spirits and for money lent during his incarceration in It Fleet. He had been in custody nearly twenty mo nths. , a ,, appeared that insolvent's debts amounted to 5,298/. I9s. 1' and he had no credit account. Mr. DODS had opposed insolvent, hoping that• if fr o mended, some settlement might be effected. Inso lvent nephew of the late Sir C.
