SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. /stoic THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The vote of Friday night on the Sugar Duties, by which the "strong Government" of Sir Robert Peel was left in a minority of 20, in a full House, if it) did not take the country by sur prise, at least roused it from the state of apa thy in which it has too long indulged re specting public affairs. All kinds of rumours were rife during Saturday, Sunday, and yesterday, as to the course which Ministers would take under circum stances at once humiliating and embarrassing —so strongly condemnatory of their policy by their own supporters, and consequently portentous to their existence as a Government. Cabinet Coun cils were held daily. The Carlton Club was convened by special summons. Its drawing-room was crowded. Consternation was strongly depicted in the countenance of many of its Members ; by whom the possibility of a dissolution of . Parliament was re garded with dread—an event not merely fraught with the loss of legislatorial privileges, but involving an abandonment of pleasing hopes of more substan tial advantages, by which they have been sustained. As the hour at which the House of Commons com mences business approached, the neighbourhood of the House became the scene of considerable attraction. A long double line of well-dressed persons from Palace yard to the door at which the Members enter the House, was formed early ; while groupes of ten or a dozen were seen in warm debate as to what was likely to be the result, or listening to some one who pretended to a clearer insight into things to come than those around him. An unusual number of police were in attendance—a precaution that was deemed necessary , by the authorities ; but their functions were wholly un called for. The crowds were perfectly peaceable, and indeed good-humoured. Some yokes were indulged in at the expense of the Government, which recently appeared to bid defiance to assault, but now seemed tottering to its fall, from sheer inability to keep its professed sup porters [together. Whatever might be the feelings of those within the House, those assembled without ap peared to anticipate the disruption of the Ministry rather with satisfaction. Scarcely an expression of regret was uttered for its position. All seemed to concur in opi nion that an early termination of its career was inevi table ; and to glory in its supposed inextricable diffi culties. Within the House of Commons the scene was interesting and even impressive. The strangers' gal lery was filled immediately the door was opened. At • least a hundred, who had obtained Members' orders, were compelled to remain in the corridor, where they waited, in hope that by the retirement of some who had been more fortunate than themselves, they might get admission before the debate at which they desired to be present had come to a close. The lobby was inconve niently crowded ; and the police in attendance had coh siderable difficulty in keeping a passage for the ingress and egress of Members. The seats under the gallery were early filled with gentlemen who had obtained Speaker's orders ; among others, we observed Lord Ntorpeth, who, we are happy to say, appeared in good health. His Lordship took a marked interest in the scene. By half-past four the House was filled. By a quarter before five it was inconveniently crowded in every part ; the Members' galleries not less so than the body of the House. The reporters' gallery was also filled, several of the editors of the public journals having obtained admission thereto, that by personal observation of what passed they might form a more correct idea of the actual state of the Ministry, its intentions—the disposition of the House—and the probable effect upon the country, than a mere perusal of the debate could af fon'. Precisely at five o'clock Sir Robert Peel ea tered the House. He proceeded to his accustomed seat with a slow step ; and evidently under the in fluence of subdued, if not depressed feelings. His coun tenance indicated—at least so we thought; and the im pression was confirmed by the expressed opinion of those more familiar with his appearance than ourselves—intense anxiety. Not a solitary cheer from the Ministerial benches greeted him as he passed. lie took his scat in silence. After a pause, the Premier moved that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill. This was carried pro forma. The Speaker left the chair, and Mr. Greene, the Chairman of Committees, took his accus tomed seat. The Premier then rose, amid a silence in so large an asFembly truly impressive. Every eye was fixed upon him. His manner was embarrassed and his voice tremulous. For what he said ee refer to tile ample report of his speech, which we give in the accustomed place. The only passage - of interest, in a speech of more than an hour and a Lalf, was reserved for its close. The oration was dull, stale, and unprofitable. It was a mere recapitulation of what had been much better said in support of the Government propo-ition of Friday, which had been negatived by the House, and was now re-urged as a justification of the Go vernment, ,in adhering to their plan, and calling upon the House to re-consider and reverse its decision. The humiliation of Sir Robert Peel was not com plete when he closed his disjointed and dull oration. The silence with which it was listened to, unbroken by a single cheer to exhilirate his depressed spirits during its delivery —if we except one from Colonel Peel, which, though evidently given as a hint as to what was ,expected, was not responded to—was but the precursor .of severe reproofs, cutting sarcasms, biting reproaches, and significant warnings, from Members who rose in succession on his own side of the House, interspersed with, and relieved by, crushing arguments, and blistering -reminiscences, from the Opposition benches. Lord Russell, in a speech of no ordinary excellence, v indicated himself, and the Opposition generally, from Oa futile charge of combination which Sir Robert V 44 had brought against the majority by which his se n eosition had been negatived on Friday evening. The government obtained a reversal of the vote of • slight, and carried its proposition • but in a way Friday . abated nothing o f the sting ' of the defeat which has eme originally sustained. A majority of which its ace twenty-two tool,: ted its plan. The most extraordinary p / o sed by the Government to gain this efforts were em majority. Th e c ater of several of the Mem bers of the House has been stamped with in consistency, and has received damage, past all hope of repair, in the estimation of the coun try. Nor is this all. Eleven M embers of the Op position benches—the leaders of the Anti-Corn-law League—conceiving that the Ministerial plan promised to advance with greater rapidity the abolition of all import duties --voted with the Government. These eleven gentlemen, ultra free-traders, reckoning twenty two on the division, constituted the precise majority by which " the strong Administration" of Sir Robert Peel was saved from defeat, and consequent dissolution! And yet the Right Honourable Baronet had the indis cretion to talk of unnatural combinations of parties hostile to his Government! Can any imaginable com bination be more unnatural than that by which he is • preserved from the necessity of putting his threat of resigning office into immediate execution? ' STANDARD.—In the House of Commons, last ni,ght; Sir Robert Peel stated at great length the reasons of the course which he had proposed with respect to the suglr,duties, and the line which he had resolved to pur sue if the "louse should persevere in maintaining the vote of Friday night. It is wholly impossible to do jus tice in au abridgment to either portion of Sir Robert peel's speech. The proof of the sound policy of the Ministerial arrangements, and of the mischief that must' follow the adoption of Mr. Miles's resolution was complete.' The Right Hon. Baronet's treatment of the political bearing of the late vote was not less success ful. Sir Robert Peel, as a Minister of the Crown, pro , poses an arrangement in the gravest part of his duties as a Minister, which arrangement he thinks the beetfor his Sovereign and country; and which, as he proved last night, is in strict conformity with all the opinions thathe pro ' fessed when a leader in opposition, and when the party to which he belongs recommended him to the favour of the Grown. Mr. Miles, and a few of the Right Ho ' *nourable 'Baronet's professing friends, fancying that thi s arrangement might "tou ch t heir breeches pockets," - snake themselves strong by an alliance with the old de _ clarectenemies of their party, and, by a surprise, stcal a vote against the Minister. The Minister declares that. if this vote be not rescinded he will not remain in office ; and what unfledged biped, except a Whig; would ' ;submit to the ignominy of remaining in office without power'? Yet this is called tyranny on the part of t3ir Robert Peel. ' Now it seems to us, that the tyranny is all on the other side, all on the side of ' those who, by concert and arrangement with their .own and his political enemies, would compel a Minister to act according to their will. Mr. MileS and - . his friends they were who placed the question - , Lithe position that the minister must obey the party, or clerty the minister ; and the minister would be, in „uew, ellasvorth of his station if he should submit to them. i rerc are a`great many circumstances essentially dis idling 'this case from the cases of the Factory 13_ 'D ill ild , tem-Disaenters' Chapels Bill, on both which we think the Government might have Yielded without dis . credit: 'The Factory Bill and the Disse nters' Chapels Bill • we're not Mee sur s necessarily within the routine duty of thee Geeernment ; any Member of e ith er H ouse o f Par liament iii- free _to; ring in such Bills—to abandon either, therefore, would not be to neglect an tiuty. The revers9,iri all resp ects , was the case with the Augur Bill. The opposition that, the Government met -with upon the Factory and DisSenters' Chapels Bills was not factious , w as certainl y not inte nded for the purpose o f either displacing. or bullying the G overnment, or working any private job. The names of the leaders of that opposition prove the perfect purity of the motives which urged it. Lord Ashley and Sir . Robert Inglis are not men to soil themselves with the"mime - of faction ; and the hundreds of thou. sands. of petitions out of doors, even without the vouchers of such high and spotless names, must acquit •the opposition to the Factory and Dissenters' r'ilaapels Bills of being the effect of hostility to the Government or of any unworthy, intrigue. Mr. Miley s resolution had no high names to vouch for its hon gstY, had no support out of doors to prove its national 'popularity ; and so ill concealed had been the disgraceful '-intrigue which led to the coalition move. • anent, that it was known in the early part of last -week —on IFiiday we ourselves copied from the :?Kerning Herald a very angry article denouncing tte trick, at least, sixteen hours before it was played. This was a kind of hostility to which no 'Minis ter could submit, and to which no Honourable party c ,'Nuld suffer itself to be permanently committed ; stecortiqett 4 . l eqiist njght_Mr. Miles's resolution was, upon a motion of 61 4 t• Robert Pe-A, in effect rescinded, by a ma ef 255 s'e 233. The debate was long and aniinated. s We ha.vi'aireitsie- spoken of the speech of Sir R. Peel, the sini alext best spe e d; se w Lord Stanley's ; but Mr. liemble sae tut the whole seseasseee in en admirably clear light, by a r,lew words whi ch p r ocs i ti eed a great effect. Mr. D'lsraeli •• made a speech which iterPrieed some, but whiCh will not imistonish any one who true; appreciates this empty over :leafed person. Ile, Mr. 131 VrainlYivraeli wa -of pleased Lo talk of the servility o f the Ces:servatis e r ty'of m (sus the Chancellor of the Exchequer happily ; 2 0En rkd 44 at least Mr. D'lsrael's equals in poi n t o f ra nk, e eis ) station, and birth, and in the consideretion of the t senntry." They had need to be tilat,. certainly if they did not first see the light in Houndsditch, obtain their education in an obscure attorney's office, and seek to win a discreditable livelihood by writing wretched novels. But enough of this person ; we hope that last night has finished him. We congratulate the country, and more particularly the honest Conservative party, upon the result of last night's debate. The dis cussion and the explanations leave no longer any doubt of the just and free relation subsisting between the Ministers and the Conservative party. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 18. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. The Insolvent Debtors Bill and the Court of Bank ruptcy Bill passed through Committee. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from Northumberland against any alteration in the corn laws. Lord WHARNCLIFFE laid on the table a Bill for the regulation of charitable bequests in Ireland, which was read a first time. The Marquis of NORMANBY said he should pre sent several petitions in the course of the ensuing month in favour of this Bill. LEEDS PARISH BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved the first reading of the Leeds Parish Bill. The Bishop of RIPON expressed his full concur rence in the object of the Bill, which was to divide the great parish of Leeds into smaller parishes, the en dowments for which were to be ; provided out of the public funds. The Bill was then read a first time. SLAVE TRADE TREATIES BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved the third reading of the Slave Trade Treaties Bill. The Earl of MINTO wished to draw the attention of their Lordships to the present state of the slave trade in Cuba, and to the inefficient manner in which the treaties for the suppression of the slave trade were executed by Spain. During the regency of Espar tero, the Spanish Government took every possible means to put an end to the slave trade in Cuba. He understood that since the Spanish Government had been changed, the slave trade had revived, and the same fees had been established for the benefit of the Governor on the importation of slaves, which had formerly existed. In fact, the treaty was constantly , violated for the benefit of the Governor, O'Don nell. He hoped the Noble Earl . would be enabled to state that those statements had been exaggerated, or, at all events, that her Ma jesty's Government had done all in their-power to enforce the observance of the treaty. The Earl of ABERDEEN said it was but too true that a great increase had taken place in the slave-trade, and he was sorry to say that there was little or no ex aggeration in his statement. At an early period of the last session, he had expressed a hope that the slave trade would speedily cease in the island of Cuba, owing to the exer tions of the honest Governor-General Valdez who then ruled over that island. But General Valdez had gone far beyond the instructions of his own Government in carrying the treaty into effect. and in consequence of his exertions the importation of slaves had diminished from 40,000 annually to 30,000, He was sorry to own, that in the present year, within one month, as many slaves had been imported as had been imported during the last year of General Valdez's Government. The Noble Earl was quite right in attributing this increase of the slave trade to the change of system in the superior Government of Spain. The Noble Earl must be aware that all these treaties were im perfectly executed by Foreign Powers. He had only mentioned the case of Spain, but there could be no doubt but that the same was the case with the Brazils. From one end of the empire to the other the provi sions of the treaties were set at naught. The Bill was then read a third time. POOR-LAW (IRELAND). The Marquis of CLANRICARDE postponed his motion on the Irish Poor-law till Thursday week. INCENDIARY FIRES. The Earl of STRADBROKE presented a petition from Stowmarket, in Suffolk, praying the House to take some measures for the prevention of incendiary fires in that district. From all the evidence he had been able to collect on the subject, he believed that they were caused chiefly by children, or persons of dissolute character. They seemed to arise from various causes, the principal of which was the great increase of population, and the difficulty of employing them. The petition also complained that the magistrates felt a difficulty in dealing with per sons charged with setting fire to outhouses and to standing corn, in consequence of the state of the law. Lord DENMAN said there was a difference of opinion among the judges on this point, and he could see no impropriety in introducing a measure to make the question clear, both with respect to outhouses and to standing corn. He was sorry that the Noble Earl had stated the cause of these fires to be the condition of the population. As far as his experience went, he generally found that they were caused by motives quite unconnected with the state or condition of the people. Lord CAMPBELL said he fully concurred in what had fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Denman), and trusted that the defects which had been pointed out would be remedied. He was happy to hear that the Noble Lord who presented the petition did not attribute these fires to the mitigation that had taken place in the criminal law of the country with respect to arson, but to other causes. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said he would take care to mention to his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Home Department the suggestions which had been made, and which, he was sure, would receive an early and attentive consideration. Their Lordships then adjourned until Friday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 18. There being but thirty-six Members present a' Four o'Clock, the House adjourned till to-morrow. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of June 18.) SUGAR.—To-day a large business was transacted in all de scriptions of West India Sugar, but merchants were com pelled to submit to a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt ; the private purchases amounted to 700 hhds and tree. The pro position to reduce the duty on Colonial Sugar to 20s, and on Fo reign free labour to 34s on clayed, and 30s on unclayed and 5 per cent. which was carried on Friday evening in the House of Commons, was last evening rejected by the Government, and the duties originally proposed by them are to remain the same. This has produced a greater desire on the part of holders of Colonial Sugar to sell. REFINED.—To-day the home trade purchased Refined Sugar morerfreely, but no improvement in prices can be quoted; brown Lumps selling at 755, and standard Lumps 76s per cwt. The market is quiet for bonded Crushed Sugar at 25s 6d to 25s 9d per cwt.

FOREIGN.--In yellow Havannah the transactions have been upon a very extensive scale since last Tuesday, but importers are compelled to submit to a further reduction in price of 6d per cwt ; in white only a limited business was transacted, and rather lower rates are accepted. To-day a good disposition was shown to purchase Foreign Sugar, and stiffer rates were paid ; two floating cargoes of yellow Havannah were sold at 20s 6d for a near port, and a cargo of white Havannah, for Russia, at 30s 6d per cwt. MoLksszs,—Prices are still on the decline for West India, and buyers have been cautious in their proceedings ; only small parcels of low St. Kitts and St. Vincents sold at 23s per cwt.

PORTSMOUTH, JuNE 16.—The Sydenham steam-frigate, Lieutenant-Commander D. R. B. Mapleton, having landed Lord Stuart De Rothesay and suite at Southampton on Wed nesday, put into this port on Thursday to have several ma terial alterations made in her fittings and rigging. The funnel of this vessel is so close to her mainmast as to destroy by the heat the rattlings and other ropes in its vicinity, and to endanger the safety of the mast itself. Her masts will be reduced from three to two, and the mainmast will be re moved further aft. From the close proximity of the funnel to the mainmast the chain shrouds frequently become so heated as to preclude the possfuility of a man going aloft, however urgent the occasion. Rear-Admiral Sir H. Pigott, K.C.H., Commander-in-Chief on the Irish station, has hoisted his flag on board the Albion, 92, Captain N. Lockyer, at Cork, from which station the Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. Dickson, Knight, is ordered to Lisbon to protect the interests of her Britannic Majesty's subjects at that port. The Fox, 42, Captain Sir H. Blackwood, Bart., is in the Shannon, in daily expectation of orders to ;:proceed to the East Indies. The Pantaloon, 10, and the Waterwitch, brigs, are rapidly progressing, and will, when ready, be commissioned by com manders instead of lieuenants, as formerly. The Cygnet brigantine, 6, Commander H. Layton, is at Spithead, with orders to proceed to the island of Ascension to-morrow, and act under the orders of Captain W. Jones, of the Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, the senior officer on the African station. The !Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander J. Hay, went out of harbour and dropped anchor at Spithead yesterday. She was paid wages, and awaits orders for the coast of Africa, whither she is expected to sail about the 20th, viii Madeira, and Sierra Leone. The Dee steam-vessel, Master Commander T. Driver, called at Spithead on Thursday (en route from Cork to the Thames with troops) to put supernumeraries on board the St. Vincent. The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant-Commander W. Tringham, left this harbour for Brighton on Tuesday to resume her pro tection to the fisheries. Sir W. Symonds, the Surveyor of the Navy, is about to build a new frigate, the same as the Vernon, 50, to be called the Constance. Mr. Blake, of Portsmouth, Mr. Fincham, of Chatham, and Messrs. Chatfield, Cruize, and Reed (Commit. tee of Naval Architecture), at Chatham, have each a frigate upon the stocks from their own designs. Mr. Blake's is to be named Leander; Mr. Fincham's, Raleigh; and the School of Naval Architecture, the Thetis. The following are their respective dimensions : Length. Breadth. Depth. Ft. In. Ft. In. Ft. In. Tons. Guns. Constance lBO 0 52 8 16 3 2,126 50 Leander lBl 4 49 10 12 8 1,960 50 Raleigh lBO 0 50 0 16 8 1,935 50 Thetis The following ships are ordered to be laid down :—At Portsmouth, the Shannon, the same as the Leander, by Mr. Blake. At Pembroke, the Arethusa and Liffey, same as the Constance, by the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir W. Symonds. At Chatham, the Severn, same as the Raleigh, by Mr. Fin cham. The North Star, 28, Captain Sir G. Home, was at Port Nicholson New Zealand, Feb. 18. She had been nearly lost in a gale of wind in Cook's Straits, within fifty yardi of a coral rock. The Penelope, 22, Captain W. Jones, captured at the Gal linas, on the 3d of April, a slaver hoisting Spanish colours named the Maria Luisa, which Lieutenant W. Mottley car ried into Sierra Leone on the Bth ; she was afterwards con demned. She is reported to be a beautiful fast sailing vessel, well manned and armed. The Penelope has ,"'received orders for the Cape Verd Islands, to pick u i the Madagascar, 44, Captain Foote. The Hydra steam-sloop, Commander H. B. Young, arrived at Sierra Leone on the 10th of April, whence, she sailed on the I,4th for the Gallinas, followed on the 19th by the Sealark, 19, Commander T. L. Gooch. The Rapid, 10, Commander E. C. Earle, arrived on the 15th of April at Sierra Leone, from the Coast, having on the 12th captured another fine slave schooner, the Santa Anna, a Brazilian, with nearly 200 slaves on board, which was brought into Sierra Leone on the 19th; she (the Rapid) had also sent in an empty craft on the 7th of April. The Ferret, 6, Com. mander J. Hoake, was at the Gallinas on the 15th of April. The above entirely sets at rest the rumours which were some time since afloat respecting the Rapid having been captured by pirates and her crew murdered. The Illustrious, 72, Captain Erskine, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, arrived at Halifax, from Bermuda, on the 15th of May, and sailed with the squadron on the 26th ; the I state of St. Domingo and Cuba requiring the presence of a British force. • The Styx steam-vessel, Captain A. T. E. Vidal, on the 23d of May was pursuing her surveying avocations at St. Michael's. The Resistance troop-ship, Commander Patey, arrived at Quebec with detachments of the 60th Rifles and other regi ments on the 14th ult. She was in a few days to convey the right wing of the Ist Royals to the West Indies. Also ar rived the Apollo, Commander Maclean, with troops fr—i Jamaica, on the 17th. She was to sail for England on the 25th with the 68th.

DEVONPORT, JUNE 14.—The Ranger, 10, is ordered to be fitted for service on the coast of Africa, instead of th Grecian, 16,,which will not be brought forward at p r es en t f o r that purpose. The Echo, steam-tug, arrived on Friday from Portsmouth, with sailors belonging to this port, recently paid off front the Malabar. In Harbour—The San Josef and Confiance. In Dock—The Kent, Grecian, Actaeon, and Ranger. In the Sound—The Caledonia; and the Dutch vessels Jason, Snelheid, and Dolphin. WOOLWICH, JUNE 16.—The Dndalus, 42-gun frigat, brought from Sheerness to Woolwich to be fitted with a spar deck, is fast approaching towards completion, and when ready for sea will have a powerful and effective armament. Col. Lacy, of the carriage department, and Captain Palliser, of the proof department, attended at two o'clock P.M. to-day at the butt, in the Royal Arsenal, to witness six rounds being fired from a. 56-pounder - gun, 10 feet long, weighing 85 cwt., Monk's pattern, mounted on a traversing platform, to be fitted on the quarter-deck of the Daedalus. The platform is 16 feet long, moving on a pivot about two feet and a half from the elevated end, and the carriage on which the gun is mounted traversing on the other end upon a brass circle, to be laid upon deck in that form at 11 feet upon the pivot, to enable it to be fired in any direction. The recoil of the gun carriage to-day was very satisfactory—the first round, 5 feet ; the second, 5 feet 5 inches; the third, 5 feet 8 inches; the fourth, with the screws loose, 8 feet 3 inches ; the fifth, with the screws partially fixed, 5 feet 10 inches ; and the sixth, 6 feet. The simplicity of the platform is such, that the gun, although of such great weight, is run up to its firing position with the greatest ease. SIIEERi4ESS, JUNE 14.—A court-martial was held yester day on board the Ocear, 80, Captain P. Fisher, to try Mr. F. F. M. Strong, master of the Pearl, 18, Commander R. H. Stopford, recently arrived from South America to be paid off, on several charges, comprising neglect of duty, insobriety, insubordination, &c. The charges were preferred by the first-lieutenant of the Pearl, B. A. Wake. The Court was composed of Captain-Superintendent W. H. Shirreff, of Chatham Dockyard, President ; Captain-Superintendent P. Fisher, of this yard ; Captain W. F. Martin, Flag-Captain of the Camperdown ; Commander I. W. Morgan, of the Camperdown ; and Commander R. H. Fleming, of the Ocean. The charges having all been duly investigated, the prisoner was called upon for his defence. Commander Stopford gave him a good character as a man of good general conduct, and a thorough seaman and good navigator. The Court having been cleared and the members having deliberated upon the case, the prisoner was afterwards called in, and the Judge- Advocate declared it the opinion of the Court that the first charge had been fully proved, and the second partially, and the sentence was, that he be dismissed the ship and placed at the bottom of the list of masters, there to remain for five years from the date of the sentence. The Amazon, 44, was undocked this day. The Pearl, 18, Commander Stopford, arrived at the Nore on Friday, and on Saturday Sir John Chambers White, the Commander-in-Chief, inspected her, after which the pro ceeded to Chatham to be paid off.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 14 EDWARD RAILTON, APPELLANT, AND THOMAS GADD MATTHEWS AND OTHERS, RESPONDENTS. This was an appeal from the judgment of the second division of the Court of Session, in an action at the suit of the appellant, for setting aside a surety bond for 4,0001., which he had granted to them for the fidelity of their agent or clerk at Glasgow, a person of the name of Hickes. The cause was tri e d by the Lord Justice Clerk, at Edinburgh, in August last, under the issue, " whether the pursuer, Edward Railton, was ind u c e d t o su b scr ib e the said bond of caution or surety by undue concealment or deception on the part of the defenders, or either of them ;" and the Judge having directed the jury, " that under this issue the concealment must be, Ist, of things known to the defenders, or which they had strong and grave ground to suspect ; and, 2dly, that the concealment, therefore, being undue, must be wilful and intentional, and with a view to the advantage they were thereby to receive," ex ceptions were taken to the charge, and they being disal lowed by the Court, the cause was brought up here by appeal, which, being heard, was sustained, and the fol lowing opinions delivered : Lord COTTENHAM—My Lords, this is an appeal from a judgment of the Court below. Entertaining an opinion against the judgment pronounced there, if I had 34 felt any doubt upon the subject, or had considered it a case which required more investigation of the facts than it has received, I certainly should have been unwilling to dispose of it without taking time for further con sideration ; but the facts are so simple, and the points are so free from doubt, that I see no reason why the the House should not at once dispose of this case. My Lords, the real question is, whether the way in which the Learned Judge put this case to the jury, and described to them the duty they had to perform, was or was not consistent with, and properly applicable to the question and the issue raised for their consideration. The issue in my opinion very clearly describes the point which the Court wished to have investigated. The terms of the issue must of course be construed as they stand, but it is not material to look to the points raised in the pleadings for the purpose of construction. If there were any doubts upon the meaning of the terms used, I would look to the summons for the reduction of the instrument of suretyship, and I find several facts ap pearing as having passed between the party who was the subject of the suretyship, and those by whom he had been previously employed, and I find the matter stated in these terms :—" That the parties totally failed to communicate the said circumstances, or either of them, or the existence of any balance on the agency accounts then standing g against the said George Hickes, to the prisoner, or to the said Henry William Hickes, and on the con trary, while they accepted and took possession of the said bond, they fraudulently suppressed , and concealed the said whole f ac t s an d c i rcumstances 72 regarding the conduct and irregularities of the said George Hickes." There is an imputation made of direct fraud, or fraudulent intention, influencing the acts of the parties, and there is a direct statement of such con cealment. It has not been contended, and it is impossible to contend after what Lord Eldon lays down, '134 in the case of " Smith v. the Bank of Scotland," % that a case may not ex i s t i n w hi c h mere non communication would invalidate a bond of suretyship. Lord Eldon states various cases in which a party about to become surety would have a right to have ,% communicated to him circumstances within the know % ledge of the party acquiring the bond, and he states that it is the duty of the party acquiring the bond to corn , municate those circumstances, and that the non-commu nication, or, as he uses the expression, the concealment ;5‘ of those facts, would invalidate the obligation, and release the surety from the obligation into which he had entered. Now, when the issue in this case was tried, such being the points raised between the parties, we have nothing 3s. to do with the evidence in the cause, or the facts proved, 14 or the conclusion to which the jury might or might not have come under the circumstances, but with the question whether the charge which was made them was such a / charge as we conceive ought to have been made ,34 to them. The issue for their consideration was , as a matter of fact, " whether the pursuer, Edward Railton, was induced to subscribe the bond of 14 caution or surety by undue concealment, or decep- Zlion, on the part of the defenders, or either of them," raising these two propositions, which were raised on the pleadings in the cause, either of which, if found in % the affirmative, would lead to the conclusion of the the cause. The question, looking at the terms in which the matter was left to the jury, and the mode in which the Learned Judge informed the jury they ought to % perform their duty, is, whether there may not have been a case brought before the jury for their consideration, of improper and undue concealment, which I understand to mean a non -communication of facts which ought to have been communicated, which would lead to the relief of the surety, although the non-communication might not be 26 45 S wilful and intenti ona l, an d w ith a v i ew to t h e advantage which the party was thereby to receive. That which I 14 find here extracted from the charge of the Learned 4534 Judge, I understand to be one proportion. The Learned 17 Judge lays it down distinctly, that the concealment to 15 be undue must be wilf u l an d i n t ent i ona l, w i t h a v i ew to 3414 9 3 4 the advantage they were thereby to receive. In my 15 opinion there may be a case of improper concealment, or non-communication of facts which ought to be communi cated, which would affect the situation of the parties, 2 even if it was not wilf u l an d i n t en ti ona l, an d w i t h a view to the advantage the parties were to receive. 4 The charge, therefore, I conceive, was not consistent with 9 the rule of law. I think that it narrowed the question for the consideration of the jury beyond the limits which the rights of the parties required to have submitted to % the consideration of the jury. Without going further into the law which regulates the rights of these parties 73 than that which was stated by Lord Eldon, in the case of 70 34 " Smith v. the Bank of Scotland," we find that in a judg -85 ment of this House, in the case of an appeal from 60 2 ° Scotland; and, therefore, one peculiarly valuable in 3 7 the case now under consideration, that has been 72 declared to be the law. Th e t erms use d b y t h e L earned g? Judge in directing the jury, having limited the question 6734 for their consideration much more than the rule of law 13 would justify, it appears to be quite clear that this case has not been properly tried, that the exceptions were 28 properly -taken, and that the House is bound to pro -17 nounce such a judgment as ought to have been pro nounced by the Court of Session. 30 Lord CAMPBELL—My Lords, this case has been very V 7 $5 satisfactorily argued on both sid es w i t h great b revity, 35 but everything has been urged which could be for the w advantage of the clients, or the assistance of your Lord.' ships; and having listened to all which has been urged 4 on both sides, very attentively, I, without the smallest 'IS hesitation, comae to the conclusion that the bill of excep-!, 3% tions ought to be allowed, and that there must be a new 514 trial. The question really i s , w h at i s t h e i ssue which the Court directed in this case--" whether the pursuer, 5 3 4 3 Edward Railton, was introduced to subscribe the said bond of caution or surety, by undue concealment or 334 TA deception on th e p ar t o f t h e d e f en d er, or either of them. " ? - 3i The material words are "undue concealment on the par /36 of the defenders"—what is the meaning of those words? ,34 I apprehend, my Lords, the meaning of those word 4 it , is, whether R a ilt on was i n d uce d to su b scribe the ) 4 bond by the defenders having omitted to 7 . 4 vulge facts within their knowl e d ge w hi c h t h ey wer e Is bound, in poi n t o f l aw , t o di vu l ge. If ther e % 7 were facts within their knowledge which they were 734 bound in point o f l aw t o di vu l ge , an d w hi c h they did not divulge, the surety is not bound by the bond—there 534 are plenty of decisions to that effect both in the law of 8 % Scotland an d th e l aw o f E ng l an d. If the defeltders had 6 3% facts within their knowledge which it was material the 7 surety shouldbe acquainted with, and w hi c h th e d el # 3 fenders did no t di sc l ose , i n my op i n i on the con; • cealment of those facts, the undue concea l men t of tho se f ac t s , di sc h arges the surety ; and w h et 8 " 1 ther they concealed those facts from one s% motive or another, I apprehend is wholly immaterial. 9 It certainly is wholly immaterial t o th e i n t erest o f t h e 544 5 34 surety, because, to say that his obligation shall depend 3 upon that which was passing in the mind of the party „ i v requiring the bond, appears to me p re p os t erous ; f or t h at "'" would make the obligation of the surety depend on whe ther the other party had a good memory, or whether he 2gwas a person of good sense, or whether he had the factS 2 at the moment in his mind, or whether he was aware 7 3 that those facts ought to be disclosed. My L or d s , t h e 7 liability of a surety must depend upon the situation in 3 which he is placed, upon the knowledge which is com municated to him of the facts of the case, and not upon what was passing in the mind of the other party, or the motive of the other party. If the facts were such as ought to have been communicated, if 15i it was material to the surety that they should be 3 communicated, the motive for upholding them, I apm • hend, is wholly immaterial. Then we come to the direction given by the Learned Judge. The Learned ' Judge says, " The concealment, therefore, b e i ng un du e [34 must be wilful, and intentional with a view" (that is, with reference to the motive) " to the advantage they were thereby to receive." Now, according to my ;II notion of the issue, that is an entire misconception of at IS according to this direction, although the parties acquiring the bond had been aware of the most material facts which it was their duty to disclose, and the withholding o f which would avoid the bond, if they did not wilfully and ,34 intentionally withhold them—that is to say, if they had forgotten them, or if they thought, by mistake, that in point of law or morality, they were not bound to dis qv close them, then, according to the h o ldi ng of the % Learned Judge, it would not be a concealment. But the Learned Judge does not stop there ; but he goes on " With a view to the advantage they were I thereby to receive, introducing those words conjunctively, an and in effect saying, it was not an undue concealment h unless they had their own parti cu l ar advantage in view. !C That appears to me a misconception. I will suppose that their motive was kindness to Hickes, to keep back from those who it was material to him should continue to have a good opinion of him, the ./.6 knowledge of those racts, that it was a pure ,% kindness on their part to prevei 4- , those parties entertaining a bad opinion of him, and not from any selfishness this concealment took place ; although that might be the motive, yet the fact that he was in arrear, and had been guilty of fraudulent conduct, and that he was a defaulter, were facts which it was most material '34 ) for th e surety to b e acqua i nted w i t h . If those were I - held back merely from a kind motive to Hickes, and not at all from any selfish motive on the part of those to whom the bond was to be executed, the effect, in point of law, would be the same ; as if the motive were merely the personal benefit of the parties to receive the bond. It appears to me, 'l4 „therefore, that the Learned JUdge has misunderstood the meaning of the issue, and that having told the jxry .14 that a concealment to be undue must be wilful and in tentional with a view to the advantage which the parties ! 311 were to receive, that was a misdirection, and that it had 1 3ti a tendency to mislead the jury, that it was wrong in point of law, and that the exception to the direction ought to be allowed. Interlocutor complained of reversed, bill of excep tions allowed, and a new trial directed. For theiAppellarit—Mr,Sergeant t Talfourd anAMr. Fle ming.
