The PROPRIETORS of the WEEKLY DISPATCH, ever foremost in furnishing full details of important events, and desirous of meeting the views of an anxious Public, purpose giving the fullest particulars relating to the TRIAL of THOMAS HENRY ROCKER, for the HORRIBLE MURDER of Mr. DELARUE at Hampstead, and in order that every incident may be fully reported, the " DISPATCH" of NEXT SUNDAY, April 13, will be accompanied by Four Extra Pages, as a SUPPLEMENT, and will consequently contain a most copious and interesting account of all the proceedings. THE WEEKLY DISPATCH, by fearlessly advocating popular rights, has acquired the title of THE PEOPLE'S LEADING JOURNAL, and obtained a circulation unprecedented in the history of Newspapers. Sensible of this im portant position, and being desirous of maintaining it, the Proprietors intend, on and after SATURDAY, the 20th of APRIL, to publish an Edition which will leave London by the Saturday moniimr, early Railway Trains, so that the " Dispatch " may reach places at a dis tance of 200 or 250 miles from the Metropolis in the afternoon and evening of the same day. This Edition will contain the London Markets of the week, including those which are held on Friday, together with every interesting occurrence up to the last moment of publication ; also the spirited letters of PUBLICOLA, CAUSTIC, and CENSORIUS, and frequent original Poems by ELIZA COOK. Orders will be received for this popular journal by every News Agent in the Kingdom, and by Mr. Wood, at the " Dispatch " office, 139, Fleet-street, London. Subscribers who wish to avail themselves of this arrangement, are requested to notify immediately, to the respective Agents who supply them, their desire to be furnished with the early Edition. Now ready, in 3 vols., with Plates, price 31s. 6d. bound, TIIE HISTORY OF :VI AR GAR E T CATCLIPOLE, A SUFFOLK GIRL. " Truth is stranger than fiction. We have here a veritable his tory, with incidents more startling and extraordinary than are to be found in any romance with which we are acquainted."—Norfolk Chronicle. Henry Colburn, Publisher 13, Great Marlborough-street. THIRD EDITION OF ~ THE SUN." Eve have received many c,omplairdsfrom Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is stillfurther aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post !ffice fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. Sus Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a juarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the ' Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shares in Railways, ec. arc.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds — The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other nezrs arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE Rocas tN ADTANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early intelligence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the " MOR-VING SUY," containing the Debates, &c. &c., will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. Respectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The official returns of the Revenue for the year and quarter, ending on Saturday, the sth inst., like those of the preceding year and quarter, are highly satisfactory. In all the principal departments, with the solitary exception of the Property-tax, there is a considerable increase on the year. In the Crown Lands and Miscellaneous there is a decrease, but the revenue from these sources is of an uncertain and accidental character, and forms no test whatever of the trade, commerce, and wealth of the country. At one season, for instance, Sycee silver, varying from half a million to a million sterling, is received and classed under the head of Miscellaneous ; at an other not a penny is paid into the Exchequer; and the Crown Lands vary in a similar manner, though not to such an extent. The following are the items of increase on the year :—Customs, 718,602/. ; Excise, 344,784/. ; Stamps, 242,800/.; Taxes, 25,2751.; awl Post-office, 57,0001. The de crease is : Property-tax, 252,439/. ; Crown Lands, 22,500/. ; aad Miscellaneous, 67,183/. ; thus showing an increase on the year, including im prest and other moneys, and repayments of advances, of 1,752,7881., and a decrease of 342,062/., leaving for the year a total increase of 1,410,726/. The increase on the quarter is equally satisfactory, notwithstanding a decrease in the Customs to the amount of 201,9411 This may be attributed- entirely to the anticipated new tariff, as the least possible quantity of articles paying Customs duty would be taken out of bond till the reduction and abolition of duties would come into operation. In the Property- tax there is also a decrease on the quarter, amounting to 87,148/, and 30,0001. for Crown Lands—making a total of 319,0891., while in other departments the increase for the quarter is— Excise, 64,7961.; Stamps, 103,4501.; Taxes, 1,2601.; Post-office, 4,0001., and Miscellaneous, 373,7241.; Total, with imprest and other moneys, and repayment of advances, 891,2541., leaving an increase on the quarter of 572,1651. It thus appears, that with all the reductions in the Customs already in operation, the revenue of that department still goes on increasing, as well as the revenue of the Excise, the Post-office, and the Taxes; and we may, therefore, confidently trust that when trade is left still more free by the abolition of duties on at least 400 different import articles, with the reductioniof duty on glass, auctions, &c., the result will be the same. The next half year, however, will be looked forward to with great in terest. The new system will by that time have a fair trial, and we fondly cherish the hope that the monopolists will then see by the result the errors of their policy, and support the reforming Minister in putting an end to all exorbitant and ruinous duties. The debate in the House of Lords, on Friday evening last, was of a character, an interest, an importance far, indeed, above the average of the discussions in that assembly. It may well suffice for a text to the future historian, who would trace the history of our past financial policy to the results exhibited in our present fiscal condition. It might have sufficed for a salutary discouragement to Sir R. PEEL—had the forms and Standing Orders of Par liamentary business permitted the business of taxa tion to be originated in the Upper instead of the Lower House—when he first contemplated the proposi tion, in 1842, of the property and income-tax. Such a case, in our opinion, has been made out by two of the highest authorities in the Lords against the prin ciple, and to demonstrate the practical injustice of a measure that we have had such frequent occasion to denounce in all its bearings, as to leave it no matter of doubt that, had it been addressed to a House of Commons not controlled by a slavish Ministerial majority, but able and willing to act upon their own conscientious convictions, the effect would have been to rescue the country from the position in which the event of Friday last has left her. The Income-tax Bill has passed a third reading in the Lords; and we are now saddled—Ministers do not attempt to deny, permanently, although ostensibly for a very-limited term—with one of the most disgrace ful and oppressive burdens ever placed upon a great and free people, in the thirtieth year of profound peace. L b , y w n h o a m hasea n h s im i s n e te l f nwdortkoedimpute aytoinStiar supreme official power from the ranks of the people, that he would wittingly afflict them with any visitation either oppressive or disgraceful. It is the instinctive mo rality of Ministers, as well as of most " Matnmali a " not to eat one ano th er. Dogs do not prey upon dogs ; and one cannot imagine a man of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S associations and sympathies disposed to devour the commonalty. But a man may take any line of road that is to be found in the vast country of political experiment, and yet ar rive at the very point which his course has been most carefully shaped to avoid. Giving Sir ROBERT PEEL full credit for good intentions, we fear that they THE SFN, LONDON, MOND A Y EVENING, APRIL 7, u 45. have not brought him into any better or more fortunate position—(we mean always for the nation) — than this. To return, however, to the debate of Friday, we find two speeches reported that are most remark able for their common-place character, and their utter want of force and efficiency ; and two, as much distinguished, on the other hand, by the sound fleas of their views, the perspicuity of their state ments, the neatness of their argument, and the sagacity of their deductions. In the former category we must rank the speeches of the Earl of RIPON and Lord STANLEY ; in the latter our readers will have already classed those of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord ASHBURTON. The speech of Lord RIPON, on proposing the third reading of the Bill, we cannot help describing as every way beneath the occasion. The Noble Earl did not seem to imagine that any extraordinary painstaking was necessary to vindicate to the Peers the very extra ordinary impost which his colleagues had committed themselves to the course of propounding for a further term of experimenton the public forbearance orapathy. His address was accordingly much below even the ordi nary run of downright official mediocrity and prosing common-plaee. Lord STANLEY'S auxiliary demon stration, although relieved by a few touches of that constitutional vivacity which -not even the heavy artillery of figures can repress, was yet as feeble and unfortunate as his efforts on such service are ever sure to be. He established the case of hardship with regard to those whose com plaints he seemed to think were without foundation ; and he damaged the defences, such as they were, which his leader, Lord RIPON, had set up for the pro priety of the tax and its continuance. The Marquis of LANsnowNE completely routed the whole array of argument which had been brought into the field to maintain the principle of that tax. Lord AsunuseroN still more effectually demolished the positions upon which the defence of its practical working had been at tempted. The result, however, of the evening was, that the Ministerial movement was accomplished. The former of these Peers observed, with great force, that on former occasions this obnoxious scheme had been advocated on grounds far more intelligible than any which Sir H. PEEL had yet attempted to assign. 'When, at the close of the war of 1815, Lord LIVERPOOL invoked the Parliament to continue the then existing property-tax, he did so on the plea that it was necessary he should have the means of winding up the expenses of that war to meet the burdens of which it had been expressly imposed. But the House of Commons indignantly resisted his appeal, and the tax was at once extinguished. Two other grounds on which the tax had now been defended were, that it was necessary to be raised in order to pay the interest on the public debt, and to enable Government to keep faith with the public creditor; and again, that it was a means of raising the revenue above all other means of direct taxation. In exhibiting the fallacy of both these assumptions, Lord LANSDOWNE showed that Sir ROBERT PEEL had never been in a condition to plead such an exigency as the former inferred ; and he dis puted very forcibly the seundness of any theory which turned upon direct taxation in dealing with income. A snore intelligent exposition of sound financial principles than that comprised in Lord LANSDOWNE'S address it has not been our fortune to peruse. The mode in which he played off the solemn protest of the Sir ROBERT PEEL of 1840, in his penultimate stage of opposition against the suggestion of an income-tax by the Government of that day, to snake good a deficiency of income, against the equally solemn appeals of the Sir Ro- BERT PEEL, in the zenith of official power, in 1845, was capital—it was turning the enemy's guns upon himself after the most approved tactics of the Premier himself. But in the speech of Lord Asetnuwross, the extensive practical knowledge, the acute observa tion, and the experienced judgment of one of the ablest authorities that can be invoked on such a question, we find not only a clear detail of the actual operation of the Income-tax on various classes upon whom it is levied--of its injustice, inequality, and oppression ; but also the causes of, the necessity which whether truly or falsely, have been relied upon to jastify the resort to it. 'We are gratified to find, that Lord ASHBURTON has thus strongly and distinctly recorded his objections to the tax in question on grounds both of principle and of expediency. The most important point established in his argument appears to be, that in all the thirty years of peace, since 1815, little or nothing has been done towards the reduction of the principal of the debt. This omission he flatly charges as a normal error in the financial policy of the present Administra tion, as well as in that of its predecessors. He shows that the vaunted financial operations of Chancellors of the Exchequer have been limited to reducing the mere rate of interest, not the sum,of our enormous debt, which he identifies with the main principle of whatever weakness is occasionally experienced in the working of our Government and the excessive inconveniences and embarrassments to which public and private credit have been occasionally exposed, without any apparent adequate cause for such convulsions. In the event of a war we must have recourse, notwith standing our unexampled condition of public prospe rity, to borrowing, and that borrowing, from the neglect of diminishing the capital of the debt, we could not manage except on terms that would be sig nally disadvantageous. There may be little chance of his Lorship carrying with him a majority of his countrymen in the favour with which he affects to regard the institution and operation of a Sinking Fund ; but we are quite certain that that majority would concur with us in desiring to see the philo sophy of finance, as expounded by Lord LANSDOWNE exemplified in a practical administration of the na tional resources, and a management of the nationa liabilities on the bases suggested by Lord Asks- BURTON. The accounts from Switzerland, which are to the 4th instant, are highly important. We stated on Saturday, on the authority of the Journal des Debuts, that the vo lunteers and the refugees from Lucerne had attacked that town on the Ist of April, and, after losing from 800 to 1,000 men, had obtained possession of the place. The intelligence respecting the great loss of life unfor tunately turns out to be true, but the assailants failing in their attacks, were put to flight by the Lucerne troops under General SONNENBERG, and completely routed with the loss of their artillery. An official bulletin, published by the Government of Lucerne, dated the Ist instant, announces the defeat of the free corps, who had left more than 600 men on the field of battle before the gates. A letter from Berne, dated April 2, gives the following account of this lamentable affair : " The corps francs have been completely beaten. General Sonnenberg allowed them to advance till they got close to Lucerne, the suburbs of which place had been hastily forti fied. He their attacked them with three companies of the Carabineers of Unterwalden, who at once threw the advanc ing columns into confusion, and, after completely putting them to the rout, it succeeded in capturing the whole of the artillery, and a large number of horses. The inhabitants of the country, who had allowed the corps francs to pass through their districts unmolested, had risen en masse in the rear of the corps francs. The troops from Argau, which had started from Zohnguen, but had not advanced so far as the others, succeeded in effecting a retreat, carrying two cannon along with them. The number of men killed and wounded is calculated at a thousand, but this is merely a guess, as the official accounts are not yet published." Another letter from Arau, written on the evening of the Ist, furnishes the following particulars : " All is lost ! A part of the expedition has just returned, and we have obtained the following details from an eye witness, who came in with the first column. The expedition set out in the night of Sunday. When at three leagues from Zofinguen they were attacked by a battalion con cealed in the forest. The riflemen soon beat them off. They continued to advance in good order, but under continual as saults, as far as Ettiswyl, where they were joined by a column that came from Berne. At Russwyl the army divided; one column moving on towards the principal bridge over the Emme, and the other went to the right, and passed the Emme at Wortheastein. It appears that there was some neglect in keeping up the communication between ithe two corps, and that hence arose all their disasters. The left column, which has returned, reached the Emme-bridge about six o clock. It was known that this bridge bad been fortified and under mined, and that every other measure for its defence had been taken. Consequently the column halted as soon as it came within view of the bridge. Without being impeded by the battery, which opened, and kept up an incessant fire, or by the shots of the riflemen placed in ambush behind trees, shrubs, and other shelter, the leader ordered 100 of his rifle men to ford the river, and they did so without any great loss. On reaching the other side of the water the riflemen cleared the bridge, and the Lucerne soldiers were driven in confusion back into the town. The bridge, which had been broken down, was soon restored, and the column which had advanced towards the town took post on the height above it, after having cleared them of the sharp-shooters who had endeavoured to defend them. Here they waited for ac counts of the other column. Night had now come on, and the invading troops began to be discouraged, the whole column, having been marching and fighting for twenty-four hours, without scarcely any respite, was exhausted with fa tigue. While the leaders were doing all in their power to en courage their men, a severe fire of musketry and grape-shot opened upon them. They conceived it probable that it came from the second column, which, in the dark, had mistaken but, earning nothing pursued,restore d; thesecod column, the retreat was continued. At day break they were attacked by a battalion which was planted in their way with six pieces of cannon. The soldiers of Lucerne, however, showed so little courage, that they were soon put to flight. The column was twice again attacked in the same m anner, and twice beat the enemy back, without causing him much loss, it is true, since he always contrived to keep himself at a respectful distance. The vanguard of the column has arrived at Zofinguen, but the main body is still engaged. As to the second column, no one knows what has become of it ; but it is presumed that it has retired into the Canton of Berne." The Zurich Gazette of the 2d confirms the intelli gence : " The Government received yesterday evening from Lu cerne the bulletin of the State Gazette, with jhe following details On the 31st ult. the conflict was suspended until the following day. Yesterday the fight recommenced on the heights which surround the town. The invaders were re pulsed, and left 600 men on the field of battle. Several offi cers and soldiers were taken prisoners. The contingents of Obwalden and \iedwalden (900 strong) displayed great courage on the bridge of Emme. In the evening troops arrived from Zug, and took part in the conflict, as did also a battalion of infantry and two companies of arequebusiers from Uri. The troops of Lucerne had three killed and several wounded. Some persons whu have arrived from Lucerne inform us that the volunteers who had been made prisoners by the troops of Lucerne have been cruelly treated. A great num ber of them were massacrel by the solliers without any at tempt being made by the officers to prevent it. The hos pitals are filled with wounded. Eight pieces of cannon and several ammunition waggons were taken from the volun teers. Although the free corps had been repulsed on seve ral points, they had succeeded in opening the road to Lu-• cerise on the night of the 31st ult., but after the arrival of the contingents of Uri and Zug, they were attacked and forced to retreat. It is said that the Councillor Bauman has been killed, and Dr. Knobel taken or wounded. Colonel Donatz has arrived here, and assumed the command of the federal army, part of which will march toward Russaud the frontier of Argaud." , The route appears to have been complete. The vo lunteers fled in all directions to their respective homes. On the 4th no further movements had taken place. The Extraordinary Diet is convoked with the least possible delay, and was expected to meet on the sth inst. M. EnunENEn, the Russian Envoy in Switzerland, addressed on the 27th ult. a note to the President of the Diet, in similar terms to those of the other foreign States. His Excellency thus concludes : " you will not mistake the nature and spirit of the obser vations which I have the honour to submit to you. They do not attack the independence of Switzerland; they merely touch on certain points, the ,appreciation of which anarchy and violence alone could contest to the European Powers. My Government bas directed me, Monsieur le President, to expressly before the eyes of the authorities and parties in Switzerland, the manner in which this affair ought to be looked at, and particularly to point out the deplorable conse quences which' must result froM it, if better councils, and more in conformity with legal order and justice, and respond ing better to the sentiments which ought to exist between the Confederal States, should not prevail in your country. I fulfil a painful duty, but i❑ the motives which have imposed it on me, there is no other intention on the part of my august Sovereign, the Emperor, than to render Switzerland attentive to the dangers which she is incurring, and, if it be still pos sible, to preserve her from them." The Peninsular and Mediterranean mails have been received, but they bring no news of importance. The dates are Cairo, March 19 ; Gibraltar, 29; and Cadiz, 30 ; Lisbon, April 1. The Viceroy of EGYPT arrived at Cairo on the 12th from his tour in Upp er E gypt. IBRAIIIM DACHA has be en dan gerouzly ill, but is now better. The Nile is very low— much lower than last year at this season —and there is ground to apprehend that the navigation may be seriously impeded. Not a single case of plague has occurred at Alexan dria for several months. Madrid papers of the 29th and 30:11 ult. have been received. The Gazette of the latter date publishes an arrangement with the Bank of San Fernando for the ad vance of 180 ,000,000 reals to be applied to the wants of the State during April, May, and June, at the rate of sixty millions per month. The security upon which the credit is given for the month of April cDnsists of public effects, producing at the current price from twelve to fifteen millions in cash, and twenty millions in delega tions upon quicksilver. The Committee on the esti mates had made their report, which was entirely favour able to the schemes of the Finance Minister. On the 29th the Three per Cents, closed et 33 11-16 for cash, and 344 at 60 clays ; the Five pers Cents. at 254 at 60 day's ; the Debt without Interest at 8 at 60 days ; and the Coupons at 282 at 60 days. Oa the 13th a good deal of business was transacted at the Puerta del Sol, the Active selling at 264 at 60 days, and the Three per Cents. at 35. The Paris papers are chiefly accupied with the affairs of Switzerland, which excite much interest. Both Chambers met on Saturday. The Peers were still occu pied in discussing the Colonial 8.11 relative to the state of slavery, but had come to no vote on the question of emancipation. In the Chamber of Deputies, an addi tional Tariff Bill was under consideration. The new law fur raising the duty on oleaginous seeds had created great dissastiafaction at Marseilles. At a general meeting of the oil manufacturer, it was unanimously resolved that, in consequence of the ruinous measure lately passed by the Chamber'of De puties, respecting the import duty on sesame, it was im possible to carry on their business ; and that, conse quently, their mills should be stopped, their workmen discharged, and that all the manufacturers without ex ception should go immediately up to Paris, and appeal to the Chamber of Peers against the decision of the Deputies. The Bill for arming the fortification s of Paris con tinues to meet witb opposition. About seventy officers of the National Guard have petitioned against it, and the list is daily increasing. The Ministry, however, have resolved to check this attempt at insubordina tion. On the report of General JAQUEaiINOT, the Commandant of that corps, the officers who signed the protest against the arming of the fortifications are to be brought before a Court of Discipline, and they are, in the meantime, suspended from their functions. The Patrie gives the following account of a duel, which took place in the Bois de Boulogne, on Wednesday, between the Duke d'U— and the Marquis de C--, in consequence of a dispute which arose between them on the p rece di ng day, at a sporting dinner. A toast having been given in English by the Marquis de C—, the Duke observed that among Frenchmen French ought to be spoken. To this the Marquis replied—". The English language ought not to be disagreeable to you, and you should comprehend it, for you, who are a PRITCHARD'S man, have voted in fa vour of the English Ministry." This was followed by a violent altercation, which led to the meeting, which was with swords. The sword of the Duke passed near the heart of the Marquis, whose wound, however, though severe, is not considered to be dangerous. The Duke was also slightly wounded on the hi p , and is for the moment confined to his bed. The names of the parties, it E CNIE noAIa-PPReaR. appears, are the Duk e ie ll zes and the Marquis D he wound of the latter will, it is expected, confine him to his room for some days.

The mail train left York a few minutes later than it s ti me (half-past six o'clock), as a great number an on Thursday evening, .which threatened of passengers were 'waiting to proceed by it. It had two engines attached to it, and proceeded at a rapid rate. When it reached Burton Salmon, the Hull and Selby train was just moving forward, but had scarcely left the station. The manager at the station states that he was engaged with needful arrangements, expecting the Hull train, and had not had time to show any signal to the next train, which, being ten minutes before its time, he did not then expect. The driver of the York train whistled very loudly for a man, said to be Mr. Hewitt, French Consul at Hull, left York in the unfortunate smashed coupe ; but had, for what reason he scarcely knew, got out of it, and entered another carriage at the Tad, aster station, and thua saved his life. The passengers in the second-class carriage, which mounted the carriage truck, were considerably bruised, but no life was lost, and no bones appear to have been broken, which indeed seems almost miraculous. The runaway engine stopped only when the steam and water were exhausted. It passed Nor manton at a Speed supposed to be about sixty miles an hour, and from this station an engine was sent in pursuit. The York train was put back as far as Milford, when it got upon the up rails, a n d was put upon its proper track a short dis tance above , Burton Salmon, and passed the disabled Hull train, and reach e d M asborough in safety about half-past ten o'clock.-- TO S t hstfleld I ndependent. s UGAR-MARKET, APRIL 4.—The market has been rather quiet this week, and the sales only reach 400 hhds.

The House sat to-day for the first time to hear appeals since the termination of the Easter recess. The Peers pre sent were the Lord Chancellor, Lord 13rougham, Lord Cot tenham, Lord Langdale, and Lord Campbell. ROBERT ALLEN (A PAUPER) v. M`PHERSON, TWIRL% afili THOMAS ALLEN. The arguments of this appeal from the decision of the Lord Chancellor, reversing a judgment of the Master of the Rolls, which were only partly heard before the Easter recess, were resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. The case is one of a rather singular nature, and the facts may be thus stated :—John Allen, of Highbury-place, Islington, by his will, dated 11th December, 1834, gave and bequeathed differ ent sums of money to various relatives, of whom the plaintiff was one. By the will he appointed M'Pherson and Tomkins his executors. He afterwards made nine codicils to his will. The fourth codicil was in the following words :—" Whereas I am desirous in the „event of my daughter Susannah Evans dying in the lifetime of her husband, George Evans, to in crease the provisions hereinafter made for the undermentioned persons : I hereby give and bequeath to Susannah Allen, daughter of my late nephew, Thomas Allen, 3,0001 ; Thomas Allen and Robert (the plaintiff), sons of the said Thomas Allen, 2,0001. each ; and to John Allen, son of my nephew, Charles Allen, the sum of 2,000/. ; the same moneys to be paid as soon as conveniently after my decease, in ad dition to the legacies hereinbefure mentioned." The testator, by his sixth codicil, dated the 22d of March, 1837, gave and bequeathed to the plaintiff one-fourth of the clear residue of his estate and effects, to and for his own use and benefit. By his seventh codicil tie tes tator appointed William Allen (one of the defendants) to be a trustee and executor with his former trustees and execu tors. The testator, by his ninth and last codicil, dated the 3d of October, 1837, after revoking the legacies given by his will and codicils to and in trust for his nephew, Charles Allen, and his children, and the child or children of his deceased nephew, Thomas Allen, declared that they should take no further or other benefit under his will, or any codicil or codicils thereto, save and except as therein mentioned; and he thereby gave unto trustees, therein named, the sum of 1,000/. sterling, upon trust to invest the same, and to receive the dividends, and pay the same unto his nephew, Charles Allen, and his wife, during their lives, and the life of the survivor of them, and after wards to fall into and form part of his residue. And the testator thereby gave and bequeathed unto Nathaniel Bart lett, Susannah Evans, and William Allen (one of the de fendants), the sum of 4001. sterling, upon trust, to invest the same in their names, or in the name of the survivor of them, and to pay the same unto Susannah Allen, at such time as she might marry with consent of the said trustees, or the sur vivor of them, or at such tim e as th e sa id trustees might think proper. And after bequeathing the sum of 300/. to Thomas Allen for his own use and benefit, he thereby directed his ex ecutors, as soon as convenient after his decease, to purchase and invest in the names of Nathaniel Bartlett, Susannah Evans, and the defendant, Willi am All en , t h e sum of 8001 . Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, for them to receive the dividends there of, and to pay the same by equal weekly instalments unto the plaintiff. during his life, or until he should attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the same, and in such case, he declared that the same should fall into the residue of his personal estate. The testator died on the 28th of November, 1837, leaving his nephew, Charles Allen, and his children, and the plaintiff, and Susannah Allen, and Thomas Allen, the chil dren of Thom as Allen deceased, another nephew of the testa tor, him surviving The will and nine codicils were proved by the defendrnts, Richard M‘Pherson, Samuel Tomkins, and William Allen, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. The bill stated that the testator was born in 1760, at East Chinnock, Sornersetshire, and that a t th e d a t e of his will he had acquired a fortune of almost 80,0001. as a wholesale provision merchant at Queenhithe. The bill then stated that the testator had cohabited for many years with one Mary Butler, and that during such cohabi tation he had one son by her, the defendant William Allen; that he afterwards intermarried with her, and that Susannah Allen, afterwatds Susannah Evans, the wife of George Evans, two of the defendants, was the only child of the marriage. The bill further stated that about the year 1824 a separation took place between the defendants Susannah Evans and George Evans, and that Susannah Evans lived with the tes tator thenceforth up to the time of his death. The bill then alleged, that the mind and intellects of the testator, during the latter months o f hi s l i f e, b ecame generally weak, and that he was incapable of managing his own affairs • that during this time hi s d aug ht er , Susannah Evans, obtained an absolute power and control over him ; and that in this state of things, having been in formed of the contents of the sixth codicil, she formed a scheme to avail herself of her influence, and in execution of that scheme, she caused a written report of several matters prejudicial to the plaintiff and the rest of his family to be presented to the testator ; that the report was read to the testator; and that the defendant, William Allen, afterwards took it to the solicitor of the testator, who immediately pre • pared the ninth codicil, which was executed the same even ing. The bill then proceeded to state transactions with various circumstances, tending to show that the testator had always manifested a great interest in his native place, East Chinnock, and in the welfare of the plaintiff, and the other members of bis family who lived there ; that he had fre quently expressed himself favourably inclined towards the plaintiff personally and by letter; and that in March, 1837, shortly before the execution of the sixth codicil, the testator assured the plaintiff, and his brother, Thomas Allen, that he had handsomely provided for them. The bill then charged, that the affection of the testator was unabated towards the plaintiff until the defendants, Susannah Evans and William Allen, caused the fraudulent and untrue report to be made to the testator; and that, by such fraudulent and untrue report only, the testator was prevailed upon to execute his ninth codicil, and that he signed it without the contents having been read over to him. The bill then stated that the plaintiff had ineffectually attempted to prevent probate of the ninth codicil in the Ecclesiastical Court, but that he was confined to the objection which affected the said will and codicils, as an entire testamentary instrument; and it prayed a declaration that the plaintiff was entitled to the several bequests and legacies given to or intended for him by the testator, in and by his will and other codicils, or any or either of them, without revocation thereof by the ninth codicil; and that the defendants, Richard M‘Pherson, Samuel Tom kins, and William Allen, or Susannah Evans, are or is trus tees or trustee of or to the extent of such bequests and lega cies for the plaintiff ; that an account might be taken of all the personal estate and effects of the testator, possessed by the defendants, or any or either of them, or any or either of their application thereof; and that the proportion to which the plaintiff might be declared entitled in the legacy of 4,0001. bequeathed by the testator in his will to the plaintiff, and Susannah Allen and Thomas Allen, might be paid the plaintiff out of such estate ; and that the legacy of 2,000/. in the fourth codicil, in case the defendant Susannah Evans should die in the lifetime of her husband, might be invested in the names of trustees for his benefit, and that the clear residue might be ascertained, and one-third paid and transferred to the plaintiff for his use and benefit. The defendants, Richard M'Pherson, Samuel Tom kins, and William Allen, put in a general demurrer to the bill and the whole of the discovery—first, for want of equity ; and, secondly, for want of parties, because the plaintiff had not' made Nathaniel Bartlett a party to the bill, or prayed process against him The M as t er of the Rolls overruled the demurrer, and the respondents appealed against his decision to the Lord Chancellor, who reversed it en the 11th of Nov., 1842. The present was an appeal against that reversal. Mr. KINDERSLEY, before the recess, was heard on the part of the appellant ; and to-day Mr. J. RUSSELL and Mr. J. TURNER were heard for the re spondents. (The arguments were not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press.) CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) , The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day, in consequence of having to attend the House of Lords. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls having been requested by the Lord Chancellor to attend the House of Lords, did not sit in his Court to-day. VICE - CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, this being the first seal, sat in his Court in Lincoln's Inn, and took mo tions to-day, none of which were of interest to the public. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE. ) ELLIS V. GOODSON. His HoNouß having disposed of this lengthy case, which related to West India property, proceeded to hear motions, and having nothing further to proceed with, rose shortly after twelve o'clock. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WionAm.) His HONOUR gave judgment in Mayhew v. Edwards, and afterwards heard motions, it being the first seal. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE WILLIAM BAKER. Mr. William Baker, merchant and general dealer, residing at Oundle, in the county of Northampton, appeared on the summons of Mr. Thomas Thorpton, in the same county Mr. Nyas, who appeared for Mr Baker, took an objection to the terms of the summons served on the defendant, inasmuch as it did not contain a proper description of his business and residence. After a short argument, the Learned Commissioner decided the objection to be good, and ordered the defendant to be discharged, the Court allowing him costs. IN RE HENRY STIMSON. This bankrupt, Mr. Henry Stimson, late farmer and publican, at Hockham, in the county of Rutland, came up for his final order. The granting of the order was op posed by Mr. Boydell, who appeared for Mr. Blackburn, wine merchant, one of the creditors. The defendant was sub jected to a long examination, gone into with the object of showing that the bankrupt had contracted this debt without any reasonable prospect of paying it, and after he had made an assignment of his property to another party ; also that he vexatiously defended an action for the recovery of the same, thus adding a considerable amount of costs to the original debt. His HONOUR decided that there were not sufficient grounds for the objection, and granted the defendant his final order. IN RE THOMAS FRENCH. The party in this case, an insolvent, an d d escr ib ed in his schedule as a straw-pl a t dealer, appeared on his petition for the protection of the Court. This was his final examination, and he was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon, on behalf of the prin cipal creditors. The insolvent resides at Redburn, near St. Albans, in the county of Herttord, where the debts were contracted. The insolvent had but recently gone to live there, and gave himself out in the neighbourhood as a man of substance, and kept several d ogs, w i t h which he was in the regular habit of sporting. These appearances induced the tradesmen of Redburn to give him credit, the defendant having repeatedly represented himself as possessed of consi derable money in the funds, which was not the fact. At the very time that he had applied for the protection of that Court he was going about the town flourishing a 1,000/. note, which turned out to be a flash one, and offering to lend money, the object being to obtain goods by these fraudulent representations. The opposition was made on the ground that the petitioning creditors had been induced to supply goods by these means, the impression being that he was a gentleman. Evidence was tendered in support of theseallegations, when His HONOUR stated that sufficient had been advanced to induce him to refuse the final order.—The case was then ad journed sine die. - - _ INJURIES BY A Cow.—Mr. and Mrs. Hoyte, the large cowkeepers of Pentonville, who were so dreadfully in jured by a cow on Monday last, are fast recovering. It is untrue that they were both tossed in the air, and that a labourer in their employ stuck the prongs of a pitchfork in its eyes and ears. Air. Hoyte only was tossed, but both were trampled and gor e d b y the infuriated beast. Mrs. Hoyte had three of her ribs broken, and her left arm dislocated, while Mr. Hoyte received some severe injuries on his back and neck, but not of so serious a character as was ..;Lated. If the cow had not had crooked horns there is no doubt but both would have been killed on the spot, and their bodies dreadAdly mangled. ONEY and CO N/IVIERLIAL NEWS. C/ TY, Q UAR TER TO THREE.

It is the farthest from our intention to say a word against the new system of postage as brought forward, and so suc cessfully carried out under the auspices of Mr. Rowland Hill. But there have been accessions to the Post office revenue which cannot be expected to continue. We allude to the immense mass of letters sent for applications for shares in the new railway and other companies which have been started in the last quarter. We have it on undoubted authority that there were 36,000 letters sent through the Post-office, all being applications for shares in a recently formed railway concern. We have accounts to-day from Buenos Ayres to the 25th of January. The Legislature had beon opened, and Rosas in his address enters most fully into the affairs of the Re public ; and a pretty fair picture is drawn of the state of its condition. A political feeling against America appears to be in the ascendant. There has been an increase of :business in the Money Market to-day. There have been private transfers made in all these stocks, which have been for some weeks closed, pre paratory to the payment of the quarterly dividend. Without the interest now due, Bank Stock has been sold at 212 and at 211 ; the Three per C en t s . R e d uced at 98%, and at 98%; the New Three-al,l a-Quarcer per Cent:. at 10 1 / / i aIAU 102.

OLD CO URY: The sixth session of the present mayoralty commenced this morning, at the Old Bailey, before the Lord Mayor, the Re corder, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Sidney, and Mr. Alderman Hughes. The calendar is unusually heavy, there being no less than 224 i.ames down for trial. Two of these cases are for mur der : one of them being Thomas Henry Hocker, who is doubly indicted—first, " for the wilful murder of James Delarue ;" and secondly, for " a robbery on James Delarue, and steal ing one watch, one ring, and 12 sovereigns, his goods and moneys, and immediately before said robbery wounding said James Delarue." The second murder is that of an infant child by its mother, Ann Pendry. There are two cases of bigamy, five of burglary, two of cutting and wounding, thil e of forging and uttering forged instruments, seven of house breaking and larceny, two of sheep-stealing, and one of rob bery from the Post-office. Robert Bannister, the draper of Portsea, who, it will be remembered, was brought in custody from the island of Madeira, stands indicted for unlawfully , obtaining goods with intent to cheat certain of his cre ditors. The remaining offences are of a minor charac ter. Of the total calendar London furnishes 57 prisoners, Middlesex 108, Essex 8, and Kent 22. A considerable addi tion will no doubt be made before the end of the week, and among the names added will be that of Joseph Connor, com mitted on Saturday from Bow-street, for the wilful murder of Mary Brothers, in George-street, St. Giles's. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The REconnsetl proceeded to charge them as follows : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—Something more than the ordinary interval that generally prevails between these ses sions having occurred, we have in consequence an increased number of charges in the pre. cut calendar. It contains 224 indictments; but I understand that 16 additional prisoners have been committed since that calendar was printed, thus making a total of 240 indictments. You are not, however, to suppose that there are 240 prisoners; there are, probably, not more than 172 ; several of them have been committed for the same alleged offence, but charged on different counts. The number of prisoners on the calendar will, no doubt, receive some addition in the progress of your labours throughout the week. A great number of cases of minor importance have been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Middlesex magis trates, under the direction of the functionary nominated As sistant-Judge of the Session, but as these ,cases are of the least complex character their withdrawal from the face of the calendar will not, in any great degree, lighten your labours, or shorten the term of your attendance to these duties. lam sorry to say that there is nothing very encouraging in the general aspect of this calendar. Crimes of the greatest enormity are presented, and among others there are two cases of murder, which have already attracted but too much of the public notice, through the medium of the press. lam most anxious that your minds should be divested of all prejudices imbibed from anything heard or read without these walls, and that your attention should be strictly directed to the facts of the cases as they shall be laid before you. Ido net mean to say that the publication of these cases should have the effect of - pre.ndicing your minds, but you have to ascertain, without reference to anything that may have passed elsewhere, whether them is sufficient-evidence to constitute a charge against the parties. The cases to which I advert are so no torious as to render any particular allusion to them wholly unnecessary. I mean the case of murder committed at Hampstead, and that more recently perpetrated in the patish of St. Giles's, in which latter case the prisoner was only committed on Saturday. Gentlemen, I do not think I should be advancing the interests of public jus tice were I to refer to the evidence, or to make any com ment upon the evidence taken in either of those cases. The facts will appear before you, and you will have to judge ac cording to the evidence; at the same time I feel it is my duty to say, that as regards your peculiar province I can en tertain no doubt that you will come to the proper conclusion in both these cases. As soon as it shall be proved to your satisfaction that the murder has been committed by some one, and the facts lead you to infer that the accused is the party, then it is incumbent upon him to prove his innocence. The law upon the subject is very brief and pointed. The fact of the commission of the offence by some one having been first proved, the question of his innocence must be satisfactorily proved by the prisoner. The law presumes that murder is founded in malice unless the contrary appears in the facts of the case. Now, the rule as laid down by the law and prac tice in reference to malice is this. The law by the term malice holds that the effect had been intended of w!ckedlyde priving a fellow -creature of life, and the fact that such killing has taken place under certain circumstances carries a plain indication of a heart regardless of social duties and indifferent to the commands of all law. If, therefore, you find that the party charged in the indictment destroys life under peculiar circumstances, it is perfectly reasonable that the proof of jus tification should rest with the same individual. You will rea dily understand that cases may occur where death may arise from violence, in which no higher verdict than that of man slaughter or justifiable homicide can be recorded. I mention that merely to explain my argument, and not because it has any applicability to these cases. There is also a case of infanticide, where a young woman is charged with destroy ing her infant at the time of birth. On this subject there is annexed a condition by Act of Parliament applicable I think to this case. It orders an inquiry as to whether there are circumstances indicative of a determination to destroylife, or whether the purpose has been that only of concealment of birth. There may be circumstances which indicate in some measure that the woman charged is the cause of the death of the child by some act of hers, but in order to bring her under the operation of the law on the charge of murder, it must be proved that that death was wilfully intended, and caused by some wilful mt. If a woman delivers herself of a child, and by secret burying endeavours to conceal the fact of the birth, she is liable to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, in any of her Majesty's gaols, for a term not exceeding two years, and thus you will be enabled by the discretionary powers allowed you, where the party is indicted for murder, and where the evidence will not carry that indictment out, to re turn a true bill for the concealment of the birth. I think that that discretion may be wisely exercised in this case, for with the exception of a trifling mark upon the bead, there is nothing to indicate that any violence .has been used to the infant. That mark is also simply accounted for by the :very peculiar circumstances attending the birth; and on looking at the depositions, it does appear to me to be the most slender 'case possible to support a charge of murder. There are also charges in the calendar of child-stealing ; of attempts to rob from the person ; of receiving stolen goods ; of housebreaking ; of forgery ; of uttering counterfeit coin ; and, in fact, crimes of all shades and character, and with which criminal courts are but too conversant. Let us, then, rest entirely on matters of fact. I do not think that you require to be particularly instructed upon them. Gentlemen, I am sure, in dismissing you to your duties, that you will allow no unnecessary delay, at the same thee that you give every case that grave and earnest attention it merits. The grand jury was then dismissed, and the petit jury sworn in. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. GREENWOOD observed, in relation to a case connected with Spa-fields burial -ground, which was dismissed at this CoUrt on Saturday, and which appeared in The Sun of this morning, from a legal informality, that the technical fault was not attributable to that Court, nor to any person con nected with it. The complaining parties brought the docu ments before the magistrate, whose duts it was to sign them, and the parties must stand or fall by their validity or inva lidity. Sometimes he (the magistrate) signed some hun dreds of documents in a day, and it was manifestly impos sible that he could revise ezch, even if such were his pro vince, which he denied.
