Mr. O'CONNELL has sent forth another manifesto from Darrynane, which was read on Monday last at the Dublin Repeal Association. In this document he proposes to apply to Parliament for an impeach ment of those who were chiefly concerned in getting up the late State Prosecutions, and also to consider the expediency of addressing the English people, in order to obtain their assistance in compelling Parlia ment to institute such an impeachment. Another object which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ap pears to have not less warmly at heart, is the forma tion of a Preservative Society of three hundred— just the same number of patriots as fought and fell with LEONIDAS at Thermopylae; though in what way this society is to work when formed, or what are the main points to which it is to direct its attention, Mr. O'CONNELL does not in form us, but leaves us as much in the dark on the suLject as the Federalists have done, as regards their favourite, but undeveloped scheme for the regenera tion of Ireland. In this state of ignorance we can only form a guess at the nature of the public duties NN Ilia it is intended that the Preservative Society should fulfil, and conclude that it is to act as a sort of Irish house of Lords, to keep within due bounds the patriotic fervour of the Association, which, without some such controlling power, might be attended with injurious consequences to the cause of Repeal. If this conclusion be a correct one, then we have riot, the slightest hesitation in saying that the Society in question will be a failure. It will never be able to maintain an in dependent position, notwithstanding its assumption of aristocratic superiority, and will be far more likely to take its tone from the more popular and vigorous Association, than to act: as a wholesome check on its enthusiasm. Its attempts at moderation will be mistaken by the vast mass of the people for luke warmness in the cause of the Repeal, just as they have now set their faces against Federalism, because it is of a more temperate, qualified character than the original scheme for the restoration of the old domestic Parliament; and should it at any time venture on the bold step of coming into direct collision with the Association, from that moment it will degenerate intopBer a mer e nu llit y . U n d er any c i rcumstances, the Preservativ e Society i s never lik e l y t o b e anyt hi ng more than the m ere pass i ve i nstrument of Mr. O ' Cos- NELL'S will. The independence willh e destroy be simply nomi nal. As h e created it, so d estroy it, the mo ment he find s th at this political Frankens t e in of his own begetting has become his enern tool. Yet we mu s t co nf ess that the y sicnhosertme instead i t o o : this his Society is not with ou t ingenuity, for on the work enable Mr. O ' CONNELL to carry of agitation through the medium of two assemblies in stead of one—first, as the leader of the aristocratic, and secondly as the leader of the democratic section of the Repealers, the former represented by the Preser vative Society, the latter by the Association. But decidedly the most important part of the Darrynane manifesto is that wherein the writer adknowledges the failure of the Federal experiment, and announces his intention of agitating henceforth for simple Re peal. "I seek for Ireland," he says, " the full benefit of the Repeal of the Union and the restoration of her domestic Parliament; I will never take less for that Parliament than that which it had before the Union—that is, final legislative and judicial authority in Ireland. In fine, fellow-countrymen, the pause of experiment is over ; let us rouse again for the peaceful contest—a contest not to be suspended until the Par liament is again in College-green with all its ancient authority and jurisdiction. Hurrah, then, for the Repeal!" Thus, it seems, Federalism is to be " thrown aside as a tattered garment"—to use Doctor Squint em's expression in FOOTE'S farce—and the agitation for full and unconditional Repeal is to be renewed with all its pristine vigour. We regret this, for the agitation is one that can do no earthly good, and by once again unsettling men's minds in Ireland, and filling them with hopes that can never be realised, may be the means of inflicting an immense amount of mischief on the community. Far better that, for a brief season at least, Mr. O'CoNNELL should rest quietly on his oars—as we have recommended on more than one occasion—and await the announce ment of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S remedial measures for the sister country. If these be partial, inefficient, and too much leavened with Toryism, then it will be time enough for him to resume his agitation, which he will be able to do with more effect, inasmuch as he will have a far larger portion of the people both in England and Ireland with him than is now likely to be the case. But to agitate now is only to embarrass the Premier —or, if not to embarrass him, at any rate to furnish him with a plausible pretext for putting off his remedial schemes to some more tranquil period. We have always great reluctance in making corn a_ents on the decisions of police magistrates, because they have difficult duties to perform, owing to the conflicting evidence brought before them, and the little knowledge they have generally of the character of the witnesses. In doubtful cases it perhaps is safest to side with the magistrate, and believe that he acted according to his sincere conviction. There are cases, however, when the public ought, and must judge for themselves ; and a case of this description occurred at Clerkenwell on Tuesday. It was one of an atrocious description, and nothing can equal it except the unaccountable leniency of Mr. COMBE, the sitting magistrate, to the offender. Two ladies had engaged a cab to take them to a dinner party, and after the vehicle had proceeded a few paces the door flew open, upon which the driver, taking advantage evidently of the helpless condition of the ladies, charged their servant with having damaged the door in shutting it, used towards them the vilest language, and the timid women, in order to escape from such a horrible position, jumped out of the cab, and tried to make the best of their way to their own house. The cabman, who, from all accounts, was drunk, pursued them, seized them by their bare necks, for it appears they were dressed for a party, shook them most violently, and they were only rescued from this perilous condition by the arrival of the husband of one of them, Mr. MEET YARD, a barrister-at-law. He naturally called upon the nearest police-constable, to whom he gave the driver in charge, and this con stable swore before the magistrate that the cabman was drunk. Mr. Comm very properly told this egregious offender that he had subjected himself to two fines of 51. each, or two months' imprisonment, with or without hard labour ; but, from some strange hallucination, reduced these fines to twenty shillings, which, of course, were gladly paid, and the cabman walked triumphantly out of court. No reason what ever, is given for this mitigation of punishment. The master of the cabman did not come forward, but a colleague, the yard-keeper, gave him a good character. What man tried at the Old Bailey has been without a friend of this kind ? The Judges, however, unlike Mr. COMBE, pay no attention to such evidence, or indeed any evidence as to character, when an outrageous crime has been committed ; they look at matters of fact, and juries almost uni versally concur with them. Here was one of the grossest outrages committed upon two unprotected females, and the magistrate considered it sufficiently atoned for by a penalty of 20,x.1 This is in direct opposition to public opinion ; and Mr. COMBE may rest assured that many upright decisions, and some more severity towards drunken cabmen, will be necessary to redeem his character as a magistrate- The watermen, by their savage conduct towards fe males, prevented all respectable women from taking boats on the river. They were ultimately reduced to beggary ; no respectable person would enter into a river -boat; and if the other magistrates follow the example of Mr. COMBS, the cabmen will, in a short time, be subjected to the same condign punishment. But are the public, in the meantime, to suffer, and, while they pay at an enormous rate for police, to have no protection ? The Paris papers of Tuesday have been received, hut at a very late hour, owing to the state of the weather. The Moniteur contains the following tele graphic dispatch : "BAYONNE, Nov. 11. "The Congress definitively voted its Address on he Bth. " The discussion on the project of reform was to commence on the 9th." The Presse, in noticing these dispatches, says, that titer the failure of the amendment proposed by M. fsTuanz, no doubt remains of the intentions of Con rress. The discussion about to take place is a mere Form, and the Government plan may be considered as adopted. The Paris papers of Tuesday are exceedingly barren of interest. PARIS BOURSE, Nov. 12. The market for rentes is well supported to-day, and that of railway shares is rather heavy. The Five per Cents. are held firmly at 119 f. 65c. ; and the Threes at 82f. 85c. The market closed as follows: Three per Cents. for cash, 821. 85c. ; for account, 32f. 85c. Five per Cents. for cash, 119 f. 50c. ; for ac count, 119 f. 65c. Bank of France Shares, 3,130 ; Nea politans, 981'. 75c. ; Spanish Threes, 36* ; Fives, 32-1- ; Paris and Orleans Railroad, I,ooBf. 75c. ; Paris and louen, 1,005 f. ; Rouen and Havre, 775 f. We have received the Madrid mail of the Gth. The discussion on the address continued in the Cortes. A commission was appointed to report on tile project of law, already approved of by the senate, for giving to the Government the necessary autho rity to establish organic laws. The commission is composed of Messrs. LORENZE, BENA.VIDES, ALCALA. GALIGANO, QUINT°, MORA, and NORCEDAL• No doubt now remains, that the amended article relative to the Sovereign's marriage, puts an end altogether to the hopes of the family of Don CARLos. The Madrid Gazette of the 6th contains the con tract made with the Bank of FERDINAND, for the ad vance of money necessary to pay the December dividends. Madrid was perfeetly quiet on the 6th.

POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, 1845.—Thi s work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publica tion, and latterly it has been brought out on such a comprehensive, correct, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from the field. The editor, Mr. Kelly, in announcing this fact, at the same time assures the public that they shall not suffer—on the contrary, profit—by the monopoly ; for it is in creased as compared with the edition of 1844, by twenty-eight pages, containing more than 4,000 names, and these not confined to one list, but carried into the various classifications, all of which are proportionally extended. The Postal Directory, which has been compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruc • tien as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world; and the list of the principal places in England and Wales has been greatly en larged, for the purpose of facilitating the operations of the money-order office. The following are a few of the additional improvements in this edition. For the metropolis, there is a return of real property assessed to the property and income-tax for the year ending April 1843, with the population according to the last census, with the number of acres which this vast metropolis covers. These amount to 60,000, the p to op t u h l e at v i r o e n pe to rty l,..9 t s a o x , , 9 l 2 2 l :7 7 9 d ,l t 2 h 4 e t real property assessed each ward, parish, and The population of obli terating inn of cour t , is given sepa rately. Ther e is also a a us t e notice respecting ' the obli the towns sta ra-apnaduse th d the Post-office, with a list of respective which shows at tive figures pre fi xed, once the place where the letter is posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility of the country post office mark of the town. A third improvement is an interesting statistical account of the commerce of the metropolis, as regards the employment of the inha bitants, the different trades carried on in its vast extent. There is also a list of bankers entitled to issue notes, with the average amount of the bank notes of such banker which were in circulation during the period of twelve weeks preceding the 27th of April last, according to the returns made by such banker in pursuance of an Act passed in the fourth and fifth years of the present reign. Besides these, there are several other improvements which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work so multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letter-press. It is accompanied by a map of London, formed from a recent survey. The other portions of this Directory we have on former occasions described, and it is needless to refer to it farther than by saying, that by taking the additional improvements into account, the late period to which the returns have been made, and the excellent arrangements, it is, per haps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. MORTALITY IN THE MEntoroms.—The number of deaths during the week, ending Saturday, Nov. 9, was 989, showing an increase over the previous week of 23. Deaths from small-pox and scarlatina are still high, and there has been a considerable increase from pneumonia, and other diseases of the lungs. The deaths from small-pox are 42—average 17 ; scarlatina, 70—average 45 ; typhus, 32—average 29 ; pneumonia, 110, for the autumn months 107, and five years ave rage 79. The 42 deaths from small-pox occurred at the following ages :—Nine under one year ; ten 1-3; nine 3-5; ten 5-10; three 15-30; and one 32 years. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, six cases, of which one was by a fall, and three by the fall of hard bodies ; the remaining two by means not stated. Rupture, one case (probably by violence, but the na ture is not described). Wound, one case (by an animal). Drowning, eleven cases, of which one was suicide, and two accidental ; in the remaining eight it could not be ascertained, or juries have neglected to state, whether accidental or otherwise. Hanging, three caa.. Cnfrnnstfinn in hPa_ three cases. Poison, three cases, of which one was suicide, one ac cidental, and one from criminal intention, but not with a view to commit suicide; and burn, one case. Total—eighteen males and eleven females.—The fall of rain has been unusually great, amounting to 1.82 inches. THIS DAY'S NEWS MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE W CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was an active busine:s in cotton at Liverpool yesterday, sales 8,000 bales, and Prices looking up. The sales comprised 2,000 Surat, and 300 American on speculation, with 2,500 Surat at 2d. to aid. per lb. ; 450 Pernam at sp. to 511. ; 100 Maranhon at sid. ; 100 Egyptian at 6d..t0 64d., and American a 3.1 d. to 4V. per lb.—Shares were dull.

Is. 6d. ; Sambre and Meuse, 21. With respect to the Cotton market here and in Ame rica, the following remarks are contained in a paper re ceived this morning from New York :—" Notwithstand ing the droughts, freshets, &c., the additional extent of soil put under cultivation last spring, for this crop, is sufficient to off-set any very serious damages that may have been suffered in many sections. In many seasons past, speculations have from time to time increased the prices, and favourably influenced the average for the year, but we have, at present, no evidence that the slightest speculation will affect the yield from the new crop. The production has now reached a point which cannot be controlled. When the United States Bank was in the market as a speculator in the article, the crops were very small compared with those of the present day, and, of course, the quantity to control less. In 1835 the crop was only 1,361,000 hales; in 1836, 1,423,000 bales ; in 1837, 1,801,000 bales ; whereas the crops of recent years have been immense. In 1842 the yield was 2,379,000 bales, nearly double the quantity produced in 1835 ; in 1843 the yield was 2,025,000 bales ; but we should judge the crops of 1844 would not fall far short of 2,500,000 bales, and it is possible it may exceed that. We see by these returns the utter impossibility of monopolising or controlling a sufficient quantity to govern the market and advance prices. Wt have no banking institutions of capitals or credits suffi cient to come forward and control the crop. There is too great a distribution of capital to perfect any combi nation large enough to create much speculation." The packet-ship Independence sailed from Liverpool on the 22d September, arrived at New York 21st October. The packet-ship Prince Albert sailed from Ports mouth on the 22d September, and arrived at New York 19th October. We learn from Canada that the progress of the elec tions were most in favour of Sir Charles Metcalfe, and but little doubt was entertained that the Opposition party would be entirely defeated. The weather was ex tremely bad. The cargo of oranges in Eleanor and Fayal via South ampton, realised considerably higher prices than those of last season. The condition of the packages was not at all impaired by the train's-shipment from Southampton, which argues well for further operations by the same con veyance—expedition being of the first importance to articles of a perishable character like fruit. The announcement received from the French capital this morning that the firm of Messrs. Rothschild, Brothers, were the principal bidders for the first series of the loan, for about 8,000,0001., had rather a beneficial influence upon the market for our own secureties, as it had, in fact, on French Stock on the Bourse in Paris. The Commissioners bought Reduced Three per Cents. at 99i ; and New Three •and•a-Quarter per Cents. at two per cent. above par. Consols for the Account have been steady this morning at 1001. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been heavy at 58s. to 60s. There is not any fresh quotation for Bank Stock. There is a good deal of activity in the Foreign market this morning, as the settlement will take place to-mor row. The variations in the prices however have been slight. Danish Stock is at 89 ; Mexican at 35f ; Russian at 119 ; Spanish at 24*; the Three per Cents. at 35i a ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 621. Business has been very slack in the Railway Shares this morning at our quoted prices. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 9 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 9236%X 3 per Cent.

ARRESTS FOR ILLEGAL VOTING IN AMERICA. — We learn from the Baltimore Patriot, that nearly seventy persons have been arrested in that city for illegal voting at the recent election. The Patriot estimates that where one is arrested, ten escape; which would make the illegal votes amount to 700.—New York Courier. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1844. CHAIsICELY.—(THIS DAY.) STELE V. STEWART. The LORD CnANct,Lott gave judgment to-day in this case, which came beire the Court some time since upon appeal from the deci,on of the Vice-Chancellor of Eng land. The only qu4tion in the case was, whether cer tain letters that bac passed between the parties and their agents were or/ere not privileged communications. The Vice-Chancello decided that they were ; and from that decision the peties appealed to that branch of the Court. It appeareuhat the defendant brought an ac tion against the plaltiff upon a policy of insurance on a ship called th Sherborne, bound to Calcutta. The defence set up to that action was that the ship was nt sea-worthy. Certain letters passed between tharties relative to the evidence to be adduced at the tris and a bill was filed for the purpose of compelling the lefendant to produce them. On the case coming beforethe Vice- Chancellor of England, he refused to order heir production ; and his Lordship agreeing in the prQriety of that decision, dismissed the appeal with costs. ST. 'ICTOR Vt DEVEREUX. The Court then proceeded to hear the further argu ments in this part4eard motion, which came before the Court upon appeal rom the decision of the Master of the Rolls, discharpg an order he had formerly made, permitting the plaLtitf to sue in forma pauperis. The case occupied the thole morning. VICE-CHA)CERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Bebre Sir J. K. BRUCE.) GRFFITIIS U. WALTON. Mr. MARTIN, in this case, moved, on the part of the plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from making and selling articles of metal, such as tea-pots, - coffee-pots, saucepais, &c., &c., manufactured according to certain processes for which the plaintiff had a patent. An application hadpreviously been made to the Court in the month of Ocober last, on similar grounds, and an order was issue], enjoining the defendant to cease from making these articles from the 14th of November. It was in consequence of a breach of this order since that date, that the notion for the present injunction was made. The plaintirs patent was taken out in 1834 ; it was for an improvement in the method of manufacturing articles of the description above-mentioned, the process being generally applicable to all articles of tin, copper, and plated ware. The specification of the patent was perfectly valid, and was a docu ment of considerable length, setting forth the various processes used in the manufacture. From the time the patent Aas taken out, in 1834, to the present time, the their skill and right under it. Cho Learned Counsel then proceeded to de scribe, at some length, the details of the different pro cesses, which were explained by various specimens of the finished articles, and the dies, moulds, and machinery used in making them. These were produced in Court, and submitted to the inspection of his Honour. The Learned Gentleman stated that the plaintiff and defendant were engaged in the same trade, one residing at Birming ham, the other at Wolverhampton; and that the defendant had frequently purchased the patented articles of the plaintiff; and supplied them to his (defendant's) cus tomers, aid furnished them to his agents and travellers as specimens. Having further pointed out the identity of the articles now made by the defendant with those manufactured by the plaintiff; he concluded by pressing for an injunction to restrain the defendant from such manufacture. Mr. RUSSELL appeared for the defendant, and pleaded want of novelty in the invention, and want of infringe ment of the patent on the part of his client. (The case was not concluded when we went to press.) QT-TEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) DOE DEM ANGELL V. ANGELL. . . . This was tlit9 celebrated ejectment case, on the deci sion of which the right to the great Angell estates de pends. It was tried about twelve months since on the Home Circuit, and a verdict Kas returned for the lessee of the plaintiff. A rule nisi had subsequently been ob tained for a new trial, and the arguments on that rule were continued this morning. These arguments, which were of a purely technical character, will not, in all pro bability, be concluded to-day. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE MARQUIS OF BUTE V. THOMPSON. In this case the Court gave judgment for the plaintiff on the 6th of July, when Mr. Baron Alderson stated that i❑ the course of the present term he would give the reasons of his decision. Mr. HIGGINS, as counsel for the plaintiff, applied to the Court this morning to fix a convenient day for that purpose, alleging. as the ground of the application, that ulterior proceedings were contemplated The Court would take the matter into consideration. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) NEWTON V. SHERIFF OF GLOUCESTER. This was an action for illegal arrest and forcible entry. It was one of several cases arising cut of certain family differences, with the particulars of which the public must be by this time quite sufficiently familiar. The trial took place in this Court before the Lord Chief Justice at the sittings of the last term, when the verdict was for the plaintiff, with damages 50/. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD obtained a rule to arrest judgment. This day Mr. Newton, in person, showed cause against that rule, and addressed the Court at great length, observing, amongst other matters, that it had been asserted to his injury by the other side, that he was in destitute circumstances, whereas the fact was, that in two months of the last vacation his fees amounted to <lO4 The COURT decided to enlarge the rule for one week, to wait the issue of other proceedings pending in the Queen's Bench. WILKINSON V. LORD LICHFIELD. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 1,200/., the defence being that the noble defendant had not made the bill, and bad not endorsed it. Tho verdict was for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant MANNING, for the defendant, subsequently obtained a conditional rule for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, the Hon. Col. An son, brother of the defendant, and other persons, amongst whom were Mr. Stevens, his Lordship's secretary, when Postmaster-General, and also the Inspector of Franks— all well acquainted with Lord Lichfield's handwriting— having sworn that they did not believe the signature in the indorsement to be his. The Learned Sergeant, at that time, further urged that the plaintiff had not shown in what manner the bill came into possession ; whereas, if his case were a good one, he could have called Mrs. Margaret Edmonds, from whom it was alleged to have been received. Mr. Sergeant SHEA this day showed cause against the rule. With respect to the handwriting of the defendant, he contended that the evidence of the cashier to Messrs. Stevenson and Salt, who had been his Lord ship's bankers for thirty years, ought to outweigh the evidence offered to support the charge of forgery. That witness held a place of high responsibility, in which it was part of his most important duties to make himself acquainted as well as possible with Lord Lichfield's handwriting. As to the calling of Mrs. Edmonds, ho contended that it was not incumbent on the plaintiff to call her. On the contrary, she would be rather a wit ness for the defence if the other side relied on their own case. That lady, as it appeared from some remarkable proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy, kept a house of play in St. James's-place ; and from the nature of other transactions, it was not very improbable to suppose that a nobleman of great wealth lit l . AuLE—lt did not appear that Lord . 1 a j u l frequented Justiceue n t e d iN Lichfield was possessed of great wealth. Mr. Sergeant SHEA—IIe kept a large establishment in the most expensive part of the metropolis. Mr. Justice Maxus—That is sometimes done without great wealth. Mr. Sergeant SifrA. submitted that there seemed no improbability in supposing that his Lordship might have made and endorsed the bill in Mrs. Edmonds's house, under circumstances which would account for his forgetting afterwards that he had done so. Nor was it at all extra ordinary that the plaintiff should, without hesitation, receive and discount the bill in question, endorsed by a nobleman holding so high a post under her Majesty's Government as that of Postmaster-General. He trusted their Lordships would discharge the rule. Mr. Sergeant MANNING replied briefly, and The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court were of vpiniLa, that the plaintiff' had not put to the jury all the evidence which he ought to have given, and that it would be well to give the case a rehearing, upon the usual condition, the payment by the defendant of the costs of the previous trial and of this application.—Rule accord ingly made absolute. ADMIRALTY CO URT-(THIS DAY) Dr. Lushington presided in this Court to-day for the hearing of cases of salvage and collision. The Masters of the Trinity House sat upon the bench with ,the Learned Doctor, for the purpose of deciding upon the nautical technicalities and manoeuvres. COLLISION.-THE LATONA. This was a suit brought by Thomas Richardson, the master and owner of the brig Latona, of Newcastle, 152 tons burden, against the owners of a west country vessel, called the Anne, to recover compensation for damage sustained by his vessel, in consequence of a collision with the Anne, which was alleged to have been caused by the unskilful and unseamanlike conduct of the master and crew of that vessel. It appeared from the affidavits which were read on both sides, that on the 19th of March, 1844, the Latona was proceeding in ballast to Newcastle, and when about five miles off the coast of Suffolk, the wind at the time being north eastward, she perceived the Anne approach ing her nearly upon the same tack. The man at the helm of the Latona tried to put her about, but failing in this, and seeing they could not cross the Anne—both vessels going at the rate of about four knots an hour—the crew was ordered to let all sails aback, that the collision might be lessened. This was done, and the captain alleged that his vessel made very little way when the two vessels struck each other. On the part of the owners of the Anne, it was urged that, at the time the collision took place, the sails of the Latona were full ; that the Anne, on seeing the other vessel bearing upon her, put her helm up, to run off from the wind, and that the Latona did the same, and tried to cross her. The Anne was a west country vessel, of much less burthen than the Latona, and it was well known that there was a strong feeling of rivalry between the Newcastle masters and those of the west country, and it was alleged that the collision arose solely from the captain of the Lat.= trying to outvie the Anne in manceuvering. Dr.LUSHINGTON, having recapitulated the evidence to the Trinity Masters, said it was solely a question fpr them to decide, as it was one entirely of seamanship. The Trinity Masters, after a short consultation, de cided that the Anne was right in keeping to the wind ward, and that the Latona was wrong in attempting to run across her. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY and a Common:Jury. RENDALE V. WIIITE.—IMPORTANT TO PARTIES BRING ING ACTIONS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a tailor, against the defendant, to recover the costs in curred in an action for debt which he had brought against the defendant. In October, 1842, the defendant's father died, and the plaintiff supplied him with a suit of mourning, in order that he might appear at the funeral, and pay re spect to his father's memory. The defendant paid only a, portion of the bill, leaving a balance of 31. 95., for the re covery of which a writ was issued on the 20th and served on the 22d of January last, and on the same evening the defendant's solicitor paid 3i. 9s. to the plaintiff, whogave a receipt in full for the debt, at the same time stating that he would see his solicitor and arrange the matter with him. The action was, therefore, for the costs incurred. Mr. CHARNOCK, who appeared for the defendant, con tended that he was not liable for the costs, and cited several cases from the books in support of his view of the case. The UNDER-SRERRIFF having summed up the evi dence, the jury after a considerable deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) A very considerable number of cases were put down this day for hearing, but none of them contained any feature of public interest. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Robert HattNho keeps a coffee-shop in Drury-lane, was brought up in custody, charged with violently assaulting William Smith. The complainant, who appeared in Court with a frightful cut on his eye, stated that the defendant came to the Craven Head, Drury-lane, last night, and called witness out, and immediately commenced beating him, whereby his face had been so severely injured. The defendant, in a highly excited state, said, in his defence, that the complainant had, for some time past, been endeavouring to seduce his (defendant's) daughter. Hearing of the attempts, ho went to the Craven Head last night, where he heard the defendant was, and accused him with his dishonourable conduct. The com plainant admitted that he had attempted to seduce the young woman, and said he would yet succeed in doing U j pcn .ap th iw is ri he :.i ( d de h f o en o d o a ti n id t) s k ym no p c ,i k t e h d is letimwidthowa fan. Mi. ther's feelings under such circumstances, but still persons must not be allowed to take the law into their own hands. He must, therefore, fine the defendant 31, or, in default of payment, commit him for three weeks. The defendant was locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) An Italian boy was placed at the bar on the following charge : A clerk to Mr. Garrard, of Suffolk-street, Pall-mall solicitor, stated that about half-past four o'clock yester-, day afternoon, the defendant came opposite to Mr. Gar rard's door with an organ, and commenced playing. Mr. Garrard feeling this to be much annoyonce and in terruption to him in his business, desired the defendant to go away, but he refused, and continued playing for upwards of ten minutes. He was then given into charge of the police. Mr. HAnnwicx said that no doubt but the street music was, in many cases,.avery great nuisance, and the defendant should at least have moved on when he was desired. He should, therefore, fine him five shillings, or five days' imprisonment and hard labour. The defendant said he had no money, and begged hard to be forgiven. Mr. llAnDwicK was, however, inexorable, and the boy was accordingly sent to prison. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Nov. 14. There was a slight fall of rain this morning between 8 and 9 A.M.

The Globe of last evening has discovered that some difference exists between the Premier and the Bishop of London, on the subject of the division of St. George's, Hanover-square, into distinct and separate parishes, and has seized the opportunity for reflecting on the character of the Bishop of the diocese. The Globe alleges that the Right Rev. Prelate is anxious to appoint his son-in-law, the Rev. Henry Brown, to the rectory of St. George's, vacant by the death of the Very Rev. Dr. Hodgson, the Dean of Carlisle, and that the Bishop was indignant that Sir Robert Peel insisted on the creation of some smaller parishes, whereby the ecclesiastical offices of the parish might be more efficiently administered. To this, the ex- Ministerial paper alleges the Bishop objected, as he was anxious that his son•in-law should not be de prived of any of the emoluments. The statement thus put forth is a gross falsehood. So far from any ob jection on the part of the Bishop existing to the formation of smaller parishes, he was the first to suggest the improvement; and declared long since that if the rectory should become vacant during the time of his episcopacy he would carry out the ar rangement. For this purpose his Lordship proposed the erection of St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, and recommended to the Metropolitan Fund Commit tee the propriety of making a grant for that object. A liberal vote of money was made, and the Bishop himself contributed to the fund from his own private purse. But the best proof of the Globe's menda city will be seen from the fact, that within the last few days a new parish has been created, embracing Pimlico, Knightsbridge, and all the outwards of St. George's. Of this parish the Rev. J. Fuller, and the Rev. IV. J. E. Bennett will be the joint rectors. The Bishop has expressed his anxious desire to erect an other parish, and it will doubtless be effected before any appointment to the rectory is made. That Mr. Brown will have the appointment is tolerably certain, and that will be the case whatever may be the opi nions either of the Globe or Sir Robert Peel.—Post. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—This morning between nine and ten o'clock, Win. Parry, one of the workmen em ployed at the new Houses of Parliament, was brought into Westminster Hospital in a dreadfully injured state, from having, while at his employment, fallen from off a scaffold about thirty feet from the ground. The unfor tunate man was found to have sustained a fracture of the right arm and dislocation of several of his ribs. He i s considered to be in a very precarious state. A PRACTICAL JOKE.—A friend told us a few evenings age, and, though it was told us in confidence, we cannot resist the temptation of laying it before our readers, let the consequence be what it may :—" In the western part of this city live and flourish two jolly young fellows, who follow sign -painting for a livelihood, and who are sometimes in the habit of cutting up what are termed high shines.' It so occurred, a few days ago, that one of the partners had some out-door busi ness to attend to, and left the shop in charge of his partner and a little boy, who was employed to grind paints. During his absence, the partner remaining went to work and painted the boy's neck so as to represent a large gash, and a cut over the eye. He then took red paint, bespattered it over the floor, and clotted the boy's hair, and made him lie down in a corner. He then painted a great gash in his own cheek, bared his bosom, disordered his dress, dipped a long-bladed knife in the red paint-pot, and patiently awaited the coming of his partner. Directly he heard him at the door the per formance commenced. The partner stuck his head into the room door; one glance was sufficient; the boy pros trated on the floor, with his throat cut, groaning and crying Murder ;' chairs, tables, benches, jugs, and paint -pots, were strewn around the floor in dire confu sion, while the murderous partner, with the bloody looking knife in his uplifted hand, was running through the room, uttering wild and incoherent expressions. It was evident to the partner at the door that his partner had killed the boy. The thought was horrid; swift as lightning he flew to his father and informed him of the circumstance. A number of friends were mustered, who repaired forthwith to the scene of action. The crowd augmented as it neared the shop, and in walked the whole posse; but what was their astonishment to find the boy without a mark of any kind, the room in per feet order, no mark of blood perceptible, and the partner engaged in lettering a sign, and utter ignorance of any transaction of the kind avowed both by him and the boy, to the other partner's great mortification, more especially as the persons he brought there hinted to one another that during his absence he might have indulged too freely in fire-water.—St. John's paper. COLLECTION OF CHARTS AT LLOYD'S.—A complete set of marine charts, published by the marine department of France, have, by the command of hi s M a j es t y L ou i s Philippe, been forwarded to Lloyd's, and which, with those presented to Lloyd's by his Majesty the King of Prussia, the East India House, &c., will be arrangud, in a room provided for the purpose at the new Royal Ex change, open to the inspection of all connected yr inte rested in the navigation of the seas, and will form the most complete collection in the world.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when George Russell Clerk, Esq., was unanimously appointed a provisional member of the council of India. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT DERBY.—On Sunday last the remains of five of the sufferers who met a me lancholy death by the late accident in Derby, were in terred at St. Peter's Church, in this town ; George Ban croft, one of the sufferers, being interred the day previous. Although it poured down with rain there was a large assemblage of spectators to witness the sad ceremony ; indeed, St. Peter's-street and London-road were filled with persons, and the police had great difficulty in keeping them at a proper distance from the funeral pro cession. So great was the interest excited, that the body of the church was crowded during the whole of the afternoon service, the funeral taking place imme diately afterwards. The bodies of Thomas Walker and George Walker (brothers) were attended to the grave by upwards of 200 members of the Ancient Order of Foresters ; the former person being a highly respected member of Court Loxley, No. 1,700. The funeral ser vice was read in a very impressive manner by the Rev. W. Fisher. The two Walkers were interred in one grave ; Charles Bagguley and Joseph Wardle in an other ; and Brown and Bancroft in separate graves. It having been announced that the Rev. W. Fisher would preach to the friends and relatives of the deceased in the evening, there was a very large congregation at St. Peter's Church. The service was very appropriate to the sad occasion. The Rev. Gentleman took for his text the first five verses of the 13th chapter of St. Luke. It was an excellent discourse, and was listened to with very great attention.--Perby Mercury.

Such was the devastation of the floods at Kilkenny, by high tide and continued rains, as to sweep the streets like a deluge, rising several feet in the houses, and car rying away furniture, beside corn, flax, and potatoes in the country.

In the Common Pleas an action was brought by Misg Such, the daughter of a builder residing in Foundling; terrace, Gray's Inn-road, against the defendant, Samuel Cobham, jun., carrying on business as an oilman, in Bow" lane, Cheapside, for breach of promise of marriage. Th,g defendant admitted that he had made the promise and broken it, but put a plea upon the record to the effect that after he made the promise the plaintiff became a dis reputable woman. She had borne a child to the defen dant. The jury, after a short consultation, returned for the plaintiff, Damages 1001. Edward Taylor, cab-driver, was fined at the Mansion house 10s. and 3s. costs, for " crawling " in Fleet-street and the nesghbourhood.

It appeared that on Tuesday morning, at about one o'clock, the prisoner and others sallied forth from a b o w shop in High-street, St. Giles's, made use of foul la*" guage, and on the interference of the police, they were resisted and dreadfully maltreated. Both officers wer e left on the ground i nsens ibl e , b ut ot h er o ffi cers se cured the prisoner.

Baron Moritz Vander Pforte appeared again before Mr. Hardwick at M a rlb oroug h- s t reet , to c l ear himself from the charge of having obtained from Mons. Dene w lain 21. by means of a fraudulent cheque. Two German witnesses stated that the Baron belonged to one et the first families in Saxony, and that his character for 1 1 ° . nesty had never been impeached. The Baron said he could easily prove at this moment he was in possessioo of three estates ; two in S axon y an d one i n Prussi g ' The Prussian estate he had sold, but he had n ot re' ceived the whole of the proceeds yet. Mr. Hardwick Co!: sidered that as far as the question of respectability IT concerned, the Baron had satisfactorily established 1' claim to be considered the person whom he represent himself to be, and dismissed the charge. comirr—resznozwAnza.
