Lt. till' 1 LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1844. ;Much surprise has been expressed in various quar ters, and not without reason, at the announcement made in both Houses of Parliament on Friday, that Ldrd ELLENNOROUGII had been recalled by the Di . rectors of the East India House. Had he been re called when he issued his first proclamation, denounc ing the policy of his predecessor, or when he published what the Duke of WELLINGTON called a " song of triumph," or when he excited universal wonder and ridicule by his ordinance about the gates of Somnauth, few would have been surprised; but after he has carried into effect with more than ordinary glory, great plans for the consolidation and protection of our Indian Empire, and has restored that vast country to universal peace, all men must wonder that the Court of Directors should have chosen the present moment to - denounce his policy. On reading his public documents we did not entertain a high idea of his intellectual powers, but as wordS"are not acts, and as the Noble Lord had for a long time paid great attention to Insslian affairs, and moreover was regarded by his colleagues as a person peculiarly fitted for the office of; Governor-General, we waited patiently to see , whether his 'deeds corresponded with his words, and we were not disappointed. It would be difficult, nay impossible, to point out any man filling that high and responsible situation who has, in the same period, 'produced such important results. There is no in stance on record when the bravery and discipline of the Indian army stood so high as it does at the pre sent moment. There is no instance on record when a handful of men, not exceeding 2,500, chiefly com po.ed too of Sepoys, defeated an army of 40,000 troops, regarded as the most war like in India. The battle of Plassy will bear no comparison with the battle of Meanee, and all the conquests of CLIVE, Haulm, and CORNWALLR dwindle into insignificance when compared with the all but peaceful occupation of the Indus. This great conquest cost us two battles, and not more men that. were lost often in a partial skirmish in the Peninsula. The affair of Gwalior was equally honourable, and probably equally necessary, but on that we do no! presume to give an opinion, further than to say that. if the aggressions under WELLESLEY were justifiable. and the Court of Directors considered them justifiable by their votes and grants to that great statesman and ruler, the same Court cannot, with any plea of justice, condemn Lord ELLENBOROUGIr. lie put down a body of men that misled- and kept in constant tur moil the neighbouring districts ; he placed on the throne the rightful heir, and after arrangements were made fur securing further tranquillity, the British troop evacuated the country. For what then is he cashiered? It cannot be for pounds, shillings, and pence. Gwalior paid the expenses of its regenera tion. The treasures captured at Hyderabad more than paid the expedition into Sinde, and if there was any feuitless expedition, it was that to Caubul, in which the troops under Ponnocx, and NOTT, and SALE, gloriously avenged the disasters sustained by LPHINSTONE, and established a prestige for British valour which no money could purchase. We give Lord ELLENBOROUGH little credit for this expedition, but still it took place under his government and with his permission, and if he were to blame the Directors, after allowing such a period to elapse, cannot include this in their catalogue of crimes. Neither can they include his bombastic proclamations, or any new song of triumph, for lat terly, in that respect, he has manifested great im provement. The public, therefore, must presume-- nay, they have a right to assert—that this sudden re solve is not grounded on any overt act. But the most singular circumstance in the whole history o! this affair is, that the Board of Control and the Board • of Directors have taken different sides. Lord ELLENBOROUGII is recalled against the wishes of the Government. Of what use then is a Board of Con trol ? If the Directors can recal a Governor-Ge neral at pleasure, they are in every sense supreme rulers in India. The office of Lord RIPON should be at once abolished. We trust, however, that this col lision will lead to good, and that Parliament will no► suffer the important results of the last two years to be neutralised by any selfish or niggardly policy. Eng land has entered on a great undertaking in Asia. She cannot submit to half measures—she must main tain the boundary of the Indus, and put down all op position to her power in the interior, at every cost. The annual digtribution • of prizes in the medical lepartment of University College took place on Satur day last in the lectitre-roim of that noble institution. Lord 14totIGnAst- 7 =its original founder—presided on the occasion, and after the prizes had been all dis tributed, proceeded' fo'congratulate the meeting on the flourishing state of the funds of_the University, en i 4 exceNnt system of edueation, and on the high cha eacter of its Profesiors. 'Referring incidentally to charge' which its enemies have more than once brought against it, his. Lordship observed;-" They. the College, had no'religious observances. They had been blamed for* .this, and told they bed too Mlle religion.' He differed from those who -held that opinion. It was ' because they had so much th - st: they considered it too sacred a subject to he lightly dealt with." There is infinite good sense in this observa tion. Religion is, indeed, far too "sacred a subject" to be lightly treated ; and the routine System pur sued at our Universities in this respect, shows that people may be in the daily practice of religious ob se:•vAnces, without their devotional feelings being in the slightest degree called forth. Every One who is familiar either with Cambridge or Oxford, must be well aware that it has been the custom there to in- sist on. the attendance of the under. graduates at the College chapel twice a day. This is the rule, but as it has been found difficult and inexpedient to carry it out to .the full extent, it has been in some measure relaxed, and the authorities are now—and have been for some years—satisfied with the attend ance of the students nine times a week at chapel. But even.this partial relaxation of a mere religious observance, with which the heart has nothing to do, has not been found to answer the purpose it was in tended to , answer. The attendance, we regret to say, is still regarded too much as a " bore," and often do the under-graduates rush out from their wine-parties at the unwelcome sound of the bell, hurry on their white surplices, and go through the' required forms at chapel, with no other feelings than 'thOse of impatience and vexation. The whole thing is considered to be a cold, formal, monotonous ceremony—a mere matter of religious etiquette; and the common sense of the parties en gaged in it rather revolts from it than -Otherwise. Surely the real interests of religion are not—cannot be—advanced by such a lifeless, mechanical system as this ! There is no judicious training or culture of the mind here—no sowing of such seeds of piety as shall take root and bring forth fruit in due season. The whole 'affair is little better than a hollow mockery, and we think that the authorities of Uni versity College have acted Wisely in dispensing with it. Lord BRO UGIIAM went on to observe :—"When this Institution was first established, the projectors did confidently expect that their magnificent esta blishment, in which education of the highest order would be taught at so low a rate, would be crowded with persons eager to avail themselves of such op portunities. At Oxford and Camb r id ge t h e same class and quality of education, for which they would only have to pay twenty-five pounds per annum at University College, would cost from two hundred to three hundred pounds, yet the citizens did not send their children to receive the advantage of this econo mical, arrangement. They preferred (and he could not sufficiently express the thorough scorn and con tempt which he felt for their conduct) they preferred making a purse of two or three hundred pounds to educate their eldest sons at Oxford or Cam bridge, and left all the rest of the family to grow up in ignorance." This is ano• her striking illustration of that rage for the genteel and the respectable, which is so conspicuous a feature of the present day. It is asto nishing whal pecuniary sacrifices, even men who are fond of money and are impressed with a most -ex ulted notion of its value, will make in order to esta blish a claim to gentility! Why do not our citizens Allow their sons to be educated at University Col lege ? The system of tuition pursued there is a cheap one, and it is also of the highest and most ~ f ficient character. Granted, but then it is not gen teel—it is not something to boast of in the way of superior respectability ! A rich London tradesman feels no self-exaltation—no pleasing thrill of vanity at telling his friends and acquaintances that his son pes to University College; but he does feel his self complacency exalted, when he has it in his power to ruf - ortn them that he has a son at Oxford or Cam bridge. The very announcement of such a fact raises him in his own estimation—it is a proof that he is a man of substance—of respect ability—that he is a member of the thriving faMily of the Somebodies. And yet, at Uni versity College, his son is sure to receive a sound edu cation ; moreover, he is still under the parental eye, Ind freed from all temptations to extravagance ; while, It Oxford or Cambridge, he is far away from home ; constant opportunities of running into expense and ,lissipation are allowed him; and the odds are that, long ere the period arrives for taking his degree, he is inextricably involved in debt, and has learned Nothing but the art of killing time, injuring his health, and blighting his prospects for life! A. letter from Mr. CAYLEY, addressed to the Duke ofißrcumoND, has appeared in the Morning Herald, in ;which the Hon. Gentleman, attempts to excuse • hi self for having garbled his extracts from ADAM SMITH, almost as flagrantly as Lord ASHLEY mis- quioted M. VILLERME. It will be remembered that •,v4en the Earl of RADNOR exposed Mr. CAYLEY'S per veisions of ADAM SMITH'S authority in the House of [Ards, the Duke of RICHMOND denied the fact of idsrepresentation. Mr. CATIAKY produces the real Nc!rds of ADAM SMITH, and is incompetent to dis oyer that he has thus proved Earl RADNon's case , ;o the letter. Now the source of Mr. C4YLEY'S delu ,i is his failure to understand the following simple fpa age : The interest of the dealers, however, in any particular )ranch of trade or manufactures is always in some respects lirerent from, and even opposite to, that of the public. To , widen the market and to narrow the competition is always I t the interest of the dealers. To widen the market may fre uently be agreeable enough to the interest of thq public, but to narrow the competition must always he against it, and can serve only to enable the dealers, by raising their profits above what they naturally would be, t., levy, for their own benefit, an absurd tax •tp6n . the icq of their fellow-citizens. The proposal of tai, new law or regulation of commerce which comes from Acts order ought always to b 9 listened to with great precau- ' lot, and ought never to be adopted till after having been m i g and carefully examined, not only with the most scru ,mlous, but with the most suspicious attention. It cornea 'rota an order of men whose interest is never exactly the same -rich that of the public, who have generally an interest to de :eive and even to oppress the public, and who accordingly JaVe, upon many occasions, both deceived and oppressed it." Mr. CAYLEY does not see that this reasoning i 6 just as applicable to dealers in corn and bullocks, as ,t .is to dealers in broad cloth and calicoes. The narrowing of the competition" is both the professed object and the direct result of the corn-laws, and th;:ough it the aristocratic corn-dealers are en. thled " to levy fur their own benefit an absurd tax 'ipbn the rest of their fellow-citizens." They are he dealers who have most oppressed and deceived 114 public, and in this passage ADAM SMITH hat accurately predicted the iniquitous means which the oppression and delusion have be'en efftct,A. Now, Mr. CATLEY has substituted the Nizirds " merchants and manufacturers" for " dealers" in his reference to this passage, and has thus attempted to restrict the application of ADAM SMITH'S universal truth. Either he did this intentionally, knowing himself to be included as a cattle and corn-dealer, — in +which case, what are we to think of his honesty ? —'br, he was utterly unable to comprehend the pas .)4e, level as it is to a schoolboy's capacity—in which ca4e what are we to think of his intellect ? It is a nice question between obliquity of morals and ob liquity of mind, which we must wait for Mr. CAYLEY'S next appearance as a public writer to determine. On a more deliberate perusal of the Report of the Select Committee on the state of the Law respecting Joint-Stock Companies (except Banking Companies) with a %iew to the greater security of the public ;" thel opinion which we expressed on Saturday last of its i deep interest and importance is fully borne out. Evipry day's experience adds something, moreover, to ail gravity of the question, as to the extent to which, an/. the modes by which, the available capital of the cotintry is in process of investment. The recent operations of the Giovernment in re dueing the interest of a certain - class of the public .Icht; the astonishing abundance of money in the In4deet ; the low rate of interest which money bears ; the teaclency of the national resources to a degree of expansion, which nothing but the crippled condition of bur monetary system, and our monopoly fetters, prevent from developing itself into the broadest and most substantin basis on which commercial credit, entirg 7 , and enterprise, were ever yet established ; all theware predisposing causes to one of those " pa ro4 sins of speculation," which the " Report"' before tp truly describes as a periodical visitation upon Int l prosperity. To very rash investments in ill-con iidgred, or.unsubstantial, projects and adventures, men 1r 'stimulated by the influence of a passion, so intense ev in savage life, that it may well be deeMed an in ;rent propensity of our nature—the spirit of Tagabling. Nothing but the discipline of education in civilised life can at all arrest or control this pro 7 ?ersity. In civilised society, where the intensity of •xcitement equalises the pressure of artificial wants to hat of natural ones in a state of natur e ,• no thi ng bu exp.l.rience—the experience . of loss and r ui n — can aly the impetuous action of this spirit of pl a y.. Tor . ;uis the mainspring of all speculation on realising a. igher scale of interest than that which the public Irides afford. And we greatly fear—though a e fess to our apprehensions with reluctanee—that :he causes we have enumerated, acting on this spirit )f speculation, and invigorated by the exigencies oc • 2nsioned by a declining rate of interest on the Debt, will speedily bring us to the verge— if it do not precipitate us into the vortex—of - some , uch disastrotis panic as that of 1825 or 1834. We cannot too narrowly watch the con Sequence that al uost inevitably follows, in England, a large funding operation on the part of the Government, like the' conversion of stock with a view to the reduction of the interest upon it. Because, though the pubic ad vantage, either immediate or ultimate, resulting from' such a proceeding, be indisputable and extensive, the Rffect is amost simultaneous and coincident, both on the large and the small fundholder, in urging the one to seek the investment of his large capital where he may derive at least the same rate of interest as he had been accustomed .to in the coaverted stock, (on the principle, that to preserve it at that rate is essential to the general scheme of his own financial projects); in urging the other, to invest where ho may draw at least as much interest as he did in the altered stock, inasmuch as, being the only or principal source of his very limited income,—with less than that amount of interest he cannot exist. Still there are passages in this " Report," and principles involved in the "resolutions" wherewith it concludes, from which we must express our dissent: As to these, we cannot help thinking that the Corn . = mittee, in their anxiety to devise guarantees against the frauds and plundering of bubble companies, have laid down general principles of future legislation in respect of joint-stork partnerships which, in their practical working, would be found to discourage, en cumber, and paralyse' the operations of even the most legitimate of such associations. The truth is, that the principle of non-interference by Parliament or Government with the appropriation or investment of private capital in the hands of individuals or cor porate bodies, is, in the abstract, so sound and valu able, that each new departure from it seems fraught with fresh matter for objection. It requires, to, be vindicated on grounds the most precise and clearly defined, to raise a reasonable case for sending it before , the Legislature for its sanction. Now,, we have in a former article admitted the evils produced to, the public by the various classes of viciously constituted, joint-stock companies, which the " 'Re port" denounces. Those evils •it is not 'possible to.ex-• aggerate. But the recommendations of the "Report" regard the better administration, in future, of "al joint-stock companies other than banking compa nies." Will it be either fair or expedient to apply to such as may be in in all respects legitimate, this, which is one of the most favourite recommendations of the Committee—namely, that in the very first preliminary of the registration prescribed to be made by each new company, there shall be in the provi sional stage, and 40aisequently on the actual registra tion, published particulars of " the names and ad dresses of its promoters ; of the names, addresses, and occupations of its members, with the share held by each ; the names of directors, trustees, patrons, auditors, and all other officers of the company, with their occupations and addresses ; and a written con sent of acceptance of office by each, &c. `With all submission to the Select Committee, to assume that in a country like this, where men are so jealous of their commercial standing (and men engaged in business supply the great mass of share holders), people will be ready thus to avow them selves beforehand, before all the world, pledged to the patronage and support of a yet untried under taking, involving possible and indefinite loss to them, —is really to show a marvellous misconception of the prejudices and opinions of that sphere of society within which the Committee's resolutions are to take effect. Again, we will predict that they who reckon on getting directors, patrons, trustees, and auditors, to give each a written form of acceptance of his office, together with his occupation and address, know very little of the ordinary course of such transactions, or of the impracticable and really not unreasonable ob jections entertained by the more influential class of individuals from among whom such officers are usually taken, to the mere trouble, to say nothing of the hazard, of committing themselves to any such self-certified acts. If conditions like these are to be insisted en, we are safe in predict ing that in the most legitimately purposed, and most maturely organised joint-stock scheme which can be hereafter devised, it will be impossible to find shareholders, for whom patrons, trustees, and directors, can be required; or, if there be any body of shareholders willing thus to proclaim themselves, in limine—directors, trustees, or patrons, who will answer their reqUisition to be so presided over after the threshold of their undertaking shall have once been crossed. The same remarks apply to the proposed preliminary register, and publication of the deed of settlement, in every case of a new company. This, too, might prove a proceeding calculated to prejudice its affairs, or to thwart its success in a variety of ways : to open to rival or competing concerns prin ciples of management, and modes of proceeding, com pensation, &c. &c., which it might be to their essen tial interest, and with perfect propriety and legality, to keep to themselves. Among the "modes of decep tion" which are set forth as being adopted by fraudu lent companies, we fully concur with the Commit tee in reprobating " the use of the names of persons_ having no existence—of those of distin guished, wealthy, or respectable persons without their authority; the getting inserted in newspapers reports of pretended meeting:, and puffs relative thereto ; the fraudulent variation of prospectuses from time to time ; the making of fraudulent accounts, so as to deceive the directors and shareholders," &c. But all of these are offences which we feel no doubt might be criminally proceeded against, as for acts of fraudu lent conspiracy, and if the existing law be insufficient to reach them, its reach might easily be supplemented by some declaratory Act. But, on the other hand, how can it be imagined that penal or preventive legis lation can ever reach such vaguely defined, or merely constructive offences as these :—" the use of the names of such persons as patrons and honorary directors with their consent, whilst they have been ignorant of the nature of the concern and its transactions, and have exercised no control over them ?" (Then they ought not to have consented to be directors or patrons!) " The employment throughout the country, on very tempting rates of commission, of respectable agents, whose character has cloaked the want of respectability of the company." (The no tion ,of treating this mere " worldly wisdom" as a "deception," and hoping to provide against it, are puerile simplicities.) "Opening banking accounts with the Bank of England and other respectable banks." (The best prima facie evidence of honest intention.) " The selection of offices in respectable situations, and , fitted up in a respectable manner." , (Would the Committee have an intending Clerical Assurance Coinpany, for example —any other will do as well for' the illustration—go to .Monmouth-street for offices, and clothe its directors and clerks in the cast off, habiliments retailed by the miscellany-landlord below ?) " The concoctors and managers living at great expense, entertaining their neighbours, and thereby endeavouring to fortify themselves against suspicion." (How large a portion—half, or a third, or three-fourths---of our swarming metropolitan population of 1,800,000 souls, are, in a manner, bringing their " modes of decep tion" on the world, and on themselves too, within this category ?) Then, it seems, that a company " duly constituted," even under the requisitions of this Report—and being authorised, on its provisional registration, " to use one common name—to open sub • scription lists—to receive deposits," &c.—shall "not make calls ! " Really, in nine cases out of ten, the datia at which the " actual " registration of joint st4lc compasieet subject to suc h di sa bili t i es, w i ll ` - alrie place, and their power of "making calls" can be „i s m m ay be safely looked for, ad Gracas Ka ., and not before ? exitsle , We have' accounts '•from Lisbon by the Peninsular ste mer to the 22(1 of April, where public affairs re ma ned nearly in the same state.

Two Royal decrees had been published, one Nita bliOing -what may..be- regarded as tantamount to mattial law throughout - the . kingdom, and another prolonging the suspension of the Habeas Corpus and the liberty of the press, to the 23d of May next.

The Noble Count, after along speech in praise of the Clergy-, - referred to the religious side of the question, and asserted that the majority of the young men n•ho left•the University came out sceptics and disbelievers. Let the experiment, he said, be tried. Take one hundred youths who had terminated their studies, and not ten Christians would be found nmongst them ! Religion was every day attacked in its dogmas either directly or indirectly—by works published by certain professors, or by discourses de livered to their pupils. The Minister of Public In struction, M. VILLEMAIN, indignantly repelled the charge, and denied that the University was hypocritical and tyrannical. It accorded liberty, he said, but under proper regulations. In reference to England, he reminded M. DE MONTALEMDERT that no college could be established without a Royal charter, and that it required the Reform Bill to authorise the foundation of the London University, after a struggle, which lasted 25 years, - of the Catholics against the Protestant Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. As to M. DE MONTALEMBERT and those whom he represented, they had not said what they really wanted. They wished to see not merely the domi nation of the clergy established, but that of the various religious bodies, and particularly the Jemits. The majority of the Cham ber applauded these sentiments. Then came the turn of the Marquis DE GABRIAC to speak, but he seemed afraid to mount the tribune. and was trying to escape from the House by a side door, when his exit was prevented by the President, who said, "It is now M. DE GABRIAC'S turn to speak." M. DE GABRIAC turned round, on hearing his name men tioned, and said, " It is now half-past five, and I shall ask the Chamber to adjourn the discussion till to morrow."—("No, no," " Yes, yes.") The Chamber, being consulted, decided that the discussion should proceed. The following scene then took place : The Marquis advanced with extreme slowness towards the tribune. The President—" I must remind the Noble Peer that the Chamber is waiting."—(Laughter.) The Marquis DH GABRIAC at last ascended the tri bune, and, after having taken out a written speech, looked at it a moment, and then returned it hastily to his pocket. He then commenced some general remarks, which he interrupted at every moment to sip the glass of sugar and water placed at his right hand. This was continued so methodically, that at last a loud and general fit of laughter seized on the assembly. After a few minutes, the Noble Peer sud denly stopped and looked round the Chamber, as if for relief, when a fresh burst of laughter took place, ac companied with cries of " Adjourn, adjourn." The Noble Marquis, greatly relieved, descended from the tribune much snore alertly than he had gone up, and at once left the Chamber. In the Chamber of Deputies the principle of the Prisons Bill was adopted, or, to use the English Par liamentary phrase, the Bill was read a second time, and the Chamber went into Committee, when a num ber of clauses were agreed to. The following appears in the Moniteur respecting the delay in sending out Admiral HAMELIN to replace M. DUPETIT TIIOUARS " The King having ordered that Rear-Admiral Hamelin, who is appointed to the command of the station of Oceania and the western coasts of America, shall hoist his flag in the Virginie frigate, has, by a decision dated the 17th instant, founded on the report of the Minister of Marine and Colonies, appointed to the command of that frigate Capt. Hanat-Clery, who is also to perform the functions of chief of the etat-ma jor to Admiral Hamelin. In consequence of this decision his Majesty has appointed Capt. Danthon, the former commander of the Virginia, to the frigate Andromede, in which Rear- Admiral Laplace, who is appointed to command the station of the Antilles, is to hoist his flag. Capt. Danthon is to per form the functions of chief of the etat-major to Rear-Admiral Laplace." Great excitement prevailed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday from a general belief that some resolution had been come to by the Government for the reduc tion of the Five per Cent. Stock. Large sales were made for the purpose of investing the proceeds in the Threes, which caused a reduction in the former, and a great rise in the latter stock. The Five per Cents. closed at 1211. 90c., and the Threes at 84f. 20c. THE BOURSE—SATURDAY, APRIL 27. _ First Highest Lowest Price. Price. Price. Price.

The second portion of the lean authorised to be raised in this country, and guaranteed bY her Majesty's Government, has been announced for competition. The money so obtained is to be applied exclusively to the commencement and com pletion of public works in Canada. Thus a fund will become available for employing a number of settlers who may proceed as emigrants this year, as well as to aid those already in the colony. The biddings for this loan are to be made at the Trea sury on Friday next, and the whole amount now required is 300,000/. When it is recollected that a strong competition was shown to obtain a portion of the first - contract- for a similar sum, and that the present Canada Guarantee Deben tures, bearing interest at 4 per cent., are worth 112, little doubt is entertained that the present loan - will - be eagerly sought after, especially as money is worth - scanely above 14 to 2 per cent. 34iny speculations have taken place this morning on the subject of the Budget, and one or two leading men are sup posed to have an idea of the intentions of life Government ; but 'as the period has now so nearly arrived when the - public will; be fully informed on the subject, it is not worth while to occdpy space in alluding to general statements on the subject. We have seen accounts from several leading agricultural dist -lets this morning, which state that the wheat plant is Fanorally healthy, indicative of abundance ; notwithstanding It isi a fact that speculation in foreign grain has commenced on the Continent; here, however, the ,quantity upon which duty has been paid recently. is comparatively small.- The farn;iers are now beginning to complain of tire want of rain, mo especially to bring forward the spring-sown Wheats. e adyices received to-day' 'from Lisbon haVe excited so attention, as Showing that the : revolution has become' mo serious 'than was:anticipated, and unless some decisive blow is early struck, it is the' opinion of many well-informed parties that we shall hear of insurrections a 1 'Espqgyzol, thrOughout the kingdom. Of course the bondholders have a direct interest at stake, as their dividends:are _partly de pendent for regular - payment upon the maintenance of_peace. : Much expectation is indulged in, among those- interested in the East India and China trade, as to iwhom is likely to fill the important trust of acting as the 'Governor-General of India. There are not afeW who think Earl de Grey is not an unlikely party to be-delegated to fill that important post. The nomination of successor at present is the great object of the Court of Directors of the East India Company,- subject of course to the sanction of the Board of Control and the Go vernment. , •, The quotation of East India Stock 'has betin nominal this morning, at about 289 to 2891.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY Fresh up this morning, we received a full average supply of Wheat from Essex; but from Suffolk and Kent the receipts were comparatively small. The demand for English Wheat ruled somewhat inactive. However, the finest parcels found buyers, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last ; but the value of the middling and inferior kinds was with difficulty supported. Fine Foreign Wheat at about stationary prices. In bonded parcels the rates were almost nominal. For Foreign Barley last week's figures were sup ported. Malt at last Monday's quotations. The best potato Oats at somewhat enhanced rates. In other kinds, not much was passing. Both Beans and Pea:: were held at higher rates.

THE COLLIERS' STRIKE TIIE NORTII-EX PARTE ISAAC TORDOLF-HABEAS CORPUS. The party in this case was a collier who had been com mitted to prison by Mr. Bennett, a Magistrate of the West Riding of Yorkshire, on a charge of having wilfully absented himself from his work. He was this day brought up in cus tody, in order to have the cause of his commitment inquired into. Mr. BODIUN (with whom was Mr. Huddlestone) appeared for the applicant Tordoif, and contended that he was entitled to the discharge, inasmuch as the conviction was bad on these six grounds:-Ist. It did not appear on the face of the conviction that the complaint had been made within the county for which the magistrate was acting, and although it was dated in the words of execution at the end, that he con tended did not help it. 2d. The complaint was described as having been on the oath of Andrew Falls ; it was that Tordolf having entered into a contract to work for Andrew Falls and others, had violated his contract. He contended that the names of those other persons ought to have been set out, and this defect he contended was not cured by the provisions of the Act George IV., which extended only to indictments. 3d. The conviction set forth that Tordoif had agreed to serve Falls as a collier, but there was no averment of the terms on whieh he was to work, so that it was impossible for the Court to know whether or Rot the contract came within the mean ing of the statute. 4th. It convicted Tordolf of more offences than one, for after stating that he had unlawfully absented himself from the service, it convicted him of having been ab sent the 24th, the 26th, and 27th of February, omitting the 25th, thus making a break and conktituting two offences. Mr. Justice ParrEsoN—Perhaps the 25th was Sunday. Mr. Ear E—lt was, my Lord. Mr. Bormax had a fifth objection to make, which was— that the conviction did not set forth that Tordolf had ever entered the service, which it ought to have done, in order to show that the contract had been completed; and sixthly and lastly, he objected that it did not appear from anything on the face of the document that the prisoner was present when the witnesses were examined. On these grounds, he sub mitted the prisoner must.be discharged. Lord DENMAN.—We feel the last point to be a very strong one.' We should be glad to hear you, Mr. Erie on that point. Mr. ERLE contended that the document in question could not be treated as a conviction—it was to be treated as a war rant of commitment reciting a conviction, and all was set forth in it that was usually set forth in such documents. It was hot required to set forth all that' a conviction was usually required to contain. It had never yet been required that do cuments of this nature should set forth the whole of the evi dence ; if the Court wereto require it, they would require that these documents should contain much more than had hitherto beert required. Lord DENMAN—The point as I understand it is, not that more is required to be set forth than has hitherto been re quired, but that it should be di s ti nc tl y stated that the exa mination had taken place in the presence of the defendant. If I understand Mr. Bodkin aright, he argues that it is poS-• sible that the prisoner may have appeared, and yet the exa mination of the witnesses have taken place in his absence. ERLE said that the same point had been raised before Mr. Justice Coleridge, who had considered that there was nothing in it The document stated that the prisoner had been been brought before a magistrate that day, and, there fore, it was to be presumed to be one transaction. It was clearly one transaction, and it was to be presumed that all that had taken place had taken place in accordance with the provisions of the statute. _ _ Mr. YARDLEY, on the same side, contended that, whenever it was stated in any document of this nature that in one and the same day the party had appeared, and the facts had been gone into, the Court would always presume that all that had taken place had taken place in the presence of the defendant, unless it was stated to the contrary, and quoted several cases in support of his opinion. The-Couirr took time to consider the point. There were several other cases of a similar nature, in which the same point arises, and which will not be argued on any of the other points until this point shall have been decided. Ex PARTE COPESTICK-HABEAS CORPUS. This was a conviction of a collier for neglecting his work. No one appeared in support of the conviction, and, the rule for the habeas being made absolute, the prisoner was ordered to be discharged. EX PARTE JOHN BIRD AND OTFIERS--HAREAR CORPUS. The parties in this case were five colliers, who had been committed to Leicester Gaol by Mr. Abney, a Magistrate of the County, for having neglected their work. A habeas corpus had been obtained, and the gaoler had made his return which came on for argument this day. Mr. BODKIN, in contending that the prisoners ought to be discharged, drew the attention of the Court to the return made by the gaoler. He returned that he detained them by virtue of two warrants delivered to him on April 8, authoris ing him to detain them for three months, and on two other warrants delivered to him on April 15th, but dated the Bth, convicting them of the same offence. Now it was evident that the magistrate having discovered that his first warrants were bad had endeavoured to amend them. In these second warrants reference was made to a conviction, which convic tion must be considered to be the first warrants, which as convictions were bad. Mr. WiirrEntais - r, who supported the action, admitted that the first warrants were bad as convictions. BODKIN contended further that the second warrants were bad, inasmuch as although dated the Bth of April, they were not delivered to the gaoler until the 15th, and that they authorised the gaoler to detain the prisoners for three months, without stating from the date of the warrant, for an offence for which the prisoners had already been in prison seven days, and therefore they committed the prisoners for seven days more than the magistrate had any right to commit them for. The taking also under the first warrants was illegal, inasmuch as they convicted the parties of several offences in the same warrant, and there fore the prisoners were entitled to their discharge. Mr. FRY followed on the same side. Mr. WRITEUURST, in support of the return, contended that the gaoler, having returned a good warrant, of commit ment, dated April 8, for three months, that was quite suffi cient, and that the Court would not notice the bad warrant which had been returned with the good cne. Lord DENIVLIN interrupted the Learned Counsel, in the course of his argument. The Court was clearly-of • opinion that the return was a good one. The defendants were in custody upon a valid warrant, and must , therefore be re manded, and the rule discharged.—Rule discharged. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prim before Mr .filstiClit-COT PDIDGE.) FORD v. DAVIS. • In this case Mr. Crowder and Mr. Petersdorff'appeared for the plaintiff, and illr.;Platt and another Learned Counsel for the defendant. •It wais'an action brought by the plaintiff to recover da mages from,the defendant for slanderous language, affecting plaintiff's character. Ford was foreman in the employ of Mr. Northwood, an upholsterer and carver and gilder in Ox ford-street.; and on the From of hil premises the de fendant had, a forge. From this forge smoke, dust, and dirt came in such quantities, owing, as asserted, to Davis's neglect, as seriously to inconvenience Northwood, and in jure his property. On the 22d of November, in Alto Agal year, the.plaintiff Find =weaned to,defendtuit of, -fhb - . nuisance, when the answer to the remonstrance was liatu l. " „ ' but coarse abuse. A short time after, Mr. Northwood 'ATI!. self went to Davis to remonstrate, when he said (the p lahlt ,. being within hearing), " It's all that foreman of yours,"; is robbing you every day and every hour, and I can Pro it." The plaintiff, hearing this accusation, immediate) came down to where his master and the defendant were ie co l ?" , versing, on which defendant said, " It is you, you are a th and a robber, and have been robbing your employer ever/ day and every hour, and I can p rove it." On the -following day the plaintiff went to an attorney, and instructed him to write to the defendant, stating that proceedings at law WOW be commenced against him, unless he retracted the charg e he had made the day previously, and gave an aP OI 4Y writing for his conduct. The lett er also stated that th e ° was no wish to put him (Davis) to expense, if he chose to avail himself of the opportunity then offered, of retracting hig calumnious assertions. Of this letter no notice was ta i l for nearly a month, in consequen c e o f w hich, on the 19th S . December, the plaintiff's lawye r w ro t e aga in to the defen d. ant, stating that , unless the required apology wall once made, and the sum of 11. 6s. Bd., the law exPc l3 7 paid, a writ would issue without any further delay. ? c .; notice was taken of this second application, and the plaint therefore sought in this Court for the justice which Ylr-- denied to him out of it. The slanderous words were pro v ed by the plain ti .,. °3 master, Mr. Northwood, and by another person who QV" - heard the conversation. Mr. Platt was opening the case for the defendant, Wh' 9B ,, e , plea was a general one of Not G u ilty, w h en o ur rePort dispatched from the Court. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS PA L ' The Court took the special paper to-day. In the that came before their Lordships the arguments were Pui`.A technical on points °flaw, as is usually the caw on sPe c u i sr paper day. They therefore do not call for any 'Art ie notice. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) FASRIONABLE PICKPOCKET.-24fichael Richardson, A very stylishly dressed young man, was pl ace d a t th e bar on t ° following charge. Mr. Robinson, the so li c it or , attended o' the prisoner's behalf. Mrs. Emily Peach, a married lady, residing near LiverPe °ll _ but at present staying at the York Hotel, Albemarle - atr e 7 , Piccadilly, stated that between eight and n i ne o'clock er . Saturday evening last, as she was walking along New Bq street she felt a person's hand i n h er p oc k et , an d on turl round found the prisoner close behi n d h er , an d s h e se ized 1 1 . : 6 of his hand, as it was still re ma i n i ng i n h er poc ket. J'" then broke from her, and set off running.. up a Molton-street, but was pursued by a police constable taken into custody. She directly afterwards missed ar a pocket-handkerchief, which was a few minutes before " the same pocket she had fou n d th e pr i soner ' s h an d in. Ifeia were three other fashionably dressed young men, evidently company with the prisoner, and on the detection of the P:o. soner they immediately separated, taking different diroe ti° , --- Mr. MALTBY inquired if the pri soner was _ltnr—..„, had Mr. Frowd, inspector of the C di v i s i on , sa i o that ne,.,.ffi been informed that the prisoner had l a t e l y b een seen in wr-- pany with several well-known pickpockets. Mr. Robinson said that was impossible,.as the accused 111 for several months been confined by illness to his ebanibt, of which fact Dr. Curtiss, of Oxf or d- s t ree t , w h o h a d attend'' him, had given a certificate. Mr. MALTBY said that the facts wer e so c l ear ly And fttlf, stated by the prosecutrix, that no reasonable doubt of t .,.° prisonei's guilt could be ente r t a i ne d. H e s h ou ld , h o welr remand him until Wednesday ne x t, an d i n t h e suoantisue quirks would be male about him. UNION lIALL.—(THIS DAY.) Ann Taylor, a well-dressed young woman, was share ° with uttering A countrfeit shilling. It appeared that the prisoner went into the shop of M r: Rathbone, druggist, of the Kent-road, on Saturday e venial an( asked for a small box of anti-bili ous p ill s, in parne.l/ for which she tendered a co un t er f e it s h i lli ng. The slaopr..:. seeing the coin wag bad, mentioned th e f act to t h e prison 7; who, snatehittg' it off the counter, attempted to c onvey il st , her mouth, with the intention of swallowing it, and by stratagem destroying identity. She was, however, vented from doing so, and the coin, being cut in halves br the shopman, she was given into custody. • When questioned by M r . Than", on the subject, the Bo the sorter refused to give any accoun t o f her posseesion of counterfeit shilling; and as s h e i s suspected to belonf. ` ,iO ," . gang of titterers of base money, a system of fraud which t; r been carried on to a great ex t en t on t h e tradesmen o f 1:; district, she was remanded to give the solicitor of Mint an opportunity of att en di ng an d prosecut i ng h e r far the offence.
