The dept that have lately anion in the Charol of England on unimportant as well as importan, matters, and that are still in active progress, being carried on in many places with more zeal that charity, have induced the Bishop of EXETER t summon a general Chapter of the cathedral of tha' di9ceso for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of their united deliberations. At this Chapter, whicl was held a few days since in the Chapter-room, al parties, it seems, agreed in lamenting the dissension: that now prevailed, and in apprehending still more serioia, ones, if some timely check were not applied.' They were by no means unanimous, however, ii advi-ing what that check should be ; bit at length, after an animated discussion o: nearly three hours, more than two-third! of the clergymen assembled agreed in opinion that the only proper and effectual remedy appeared to be, at once to restrain all undue change, and look t, the law as the best and surest guide of action. In conformity with this opinion the Bishop of EXETER immediately issued a Pectoral Letter to the clergy of Ifs diocese, which has leen just published by Mux- IC.tT, and which on the whole is more moderate and rational in its tone—thou.;h occasionally betrayim: tokens of a jesuitical spirit—thaw we were prepared to expect from so strict and unbending a High Churchman as his Lordship. But it is evident fron the general bearing of his letter that the Bishop has at length taken alarm at the rapid progress of the dissensions in the Establishment, and seeing that tht more zealous and ardent party in the Church have carried matters with so high a hand as to rouse hosti lity rather than induce conviction, he has come to the wholesome conclusion, that it is expedient to practise the soothing system, and abate something of the pride and assumption of the cloth. Upon no other principle can we account for the altered tone that pervades the Bishop's observations, which—so far as oar memory serves as—are at variance with the spirit that was manifested in his recent judgment in the case of the Rev. WALTER BLUNT, of Helston. He no longer insists on a rigid observance of all the obsolete usages touched upon in the Rubric, but advises, as regards the duty of the laity as laid down in the Rubric, that a very eautious and forbearing tone be adopted. The Offertory he, in a great measure, eves up ; imitating, in this respect, the example of the shrewd, dis creet CHARLES JA NIES LONDON, who, when he found that his air of arrogance and menace produced no effect, at once lowered his pretensions, and adopted the conciliatory system. "In every church," says Doctor PuteLeorrs i " in which the congregation in general is prepared to regard the Offertory as the exercise of a high Christian privilege, there I advise that a collection be always made. But wherever the pervading tone and feeling ave not yet of this high order, be patient, strive, but strive gently, and with Prayer to GOD, t o ra i se your peop l e to a b etter and till they have attained to it, shock not , tbheeithr.tptirev• 41ieeasiyiLrirsiritutate.:ontsst„heir selfishness, it may ; . t 0 The spirit of this Pas)ggx,..4 - 1 - eYeiiir r - ap ect 01 #fitilfr's ezi s *l4ion.4-namely that e commended with we do not think , tl . f. u.4t, 44eit s _ selfishness,' and • ness, a1 .. 7 exactly the fitted terms t by t , tqlsewhit - froravme pressing cause or other Q :mar #! ; - .y OQ4 to the plate which is to be ,3 handed round among the congregation just as often as the officiating clergyman may deem expedient Parishioners have already quite as many burdens laid on them as they can well bear, and if they contribute handsomely to charity sermons, &c., we do not see why they should be taunted with " sel fishness," because they refuse their subscriptions to a regular weekly offertory, in addition to their other voluntary and involuntary contributions. On the unimportant subject of the surplice—which, frivol ous as it is, has caused no slight diversity of opinion —the Bishop is explicit and positive. "The law," he observes, " beyond all question which can now arise, requires that the surplice be always used in the sermon, which is part of the Communion Service ; and as to all other times, whenever a sermon is part of the ministration of the parochial clergy, there is so little reason for question, that I resolve the doubt by requiring (as it was required in the diocese in which my own ministerial life was passed) that the surplice be always used." The parenthetical allusion to the diocese in which the Bishop's earlier ministerial life was passed, at once explains the cause of his fondnes s for the surplice, for he cannot but remember that he was "required" to wear it in those happy, prosperous (lays when he was in the full enjoyment of the fat, rich Rectory of Stanhope, which he strove hard to retain when promoted to the see of Exeter, but which, alas, the unfeeling Whigs compelled him to resign, notwithstanding his melting supplications, which might have " drawn iron tears down Pluto's cheek," though they failed to touch the obdurate heart of Earl GsEr ! On the whole, Dr. PuiLL POTT'S pastoral latter—if we except one or two am higuous remarks—deserves praise for its temperate and conciliatory tone. We have elsewhere recorded the recent fatal ex plosion of fire-damp at the Cwm Avon Colliery, near Neath. A Morning Contemporary, we observe, suggests a benevolent doubt about the fact, from the circumstance of its not having been noticed in a sub sequent impression of a provincial journal, printed at not more than twelve miles' distance from the lo cality where the catastrophe is said to have occurred. But besides the allowance to be made for the very imperfect system of intercommunication that exists between the various districts of that portion of South Wales, our Contemporary's Bristol correspondent confirms the rumour that has been published by the 3fonmouthshire Merlin. It may, therefore, be as umed, we fear, that on Wednesday last fifty human lives were, in a moment, sacrificed by a terrible visi tation, of which the frequent occurrence of late appears to us to be scarcely less notable as a physical phenomenon, than deplorable as an agent of exten tive social misery. In the present instance the action of the explosion appears to, have assumed a character A' almost volcanic expansiveness and power. The ivorks are described as having been so shattered that they hare tumbled down " in hideous ruin ;" whilst the exhalation is reported as of so noxious and in tense a character, as to render the recovery of the bodies (four :only of which had yet been retrieved i'rom their subterranean sepulchre) a labour of as nuch difficulty as danger. In the absence of fur ther and more explicit details, we can form, of course, ao definitive opinion as to the degree in which this calamity at Cwm Avon might have been averted or modified, if, indeed, it was not one of those frightful :asualties which human foresight cannot prevent, or .vhich past experience has not taught men to provide :or. But there can be little doubt that it has been a lisaster to be added to that fearful class of accidents to which we have so often—and so vainly—implored he timely and paternal attention of the Government And the Legislature. I❑ two or three former articles we have had occa iion, whilst lamenting the fate of the multiplied fictims to fire- damp explosion in mines and collieries, :o urge upon the authorities the expediency and duty >f establishing some code of precautionary regula ions for the better protection of life and property flgaged in the working, or invested in the property, if such undertakings. That useful " Bill" for the 3ompulsory Registration of all new works, &c., un lertaken in connexion with such concerns (shafts iunk, adits opened, galleries commenced or closed, to which we have at such times referred, as one if the unfortunate and unconsidered remenets of the iassional labours of Parliament for 1844, again forces itself on our recollection. Is it not very pos ible that had such a system of Registry been esta -)lished and in full work (and there has been ample ime for accomplishing all this, and more, since - he proposition was first mooted in the House of Jommons), their attention might have been awakened - o the probabilities of danger arising out of the re iorted condition of the works at Cwm Avon, who, From their knowledge of, or interest in, such matters, -would have bee❑ both qualified and induced to make he necessary representations in the proper quarters ? %light not these representations have led to the im• nediate adoption of precautions, and of deviations "rom the previous system or direction of the work ngs carried on in this colliery, that would have averted the enormous destruction which has since ensued in it ? These are questions, as we have before ►dmitted, to be determined, in great measure, by ,pecific facts, which facts, however, in the Cwm Avon affair, it is but too probable may never be revealed. Che eyes that witnessed—the tongues that could have iescribed—the circumstances and incidents of this terrible explosion, have been blasted and silenced for •rer by its fury. Perhaps even their bones may not be recovered from beneath the superincumbent masses which entomb them. If the past, then, cannot be re. •alled ;—if these sufferers are victims who shall never nore hear the voice of human sympathy, or wake again to the consciousness of human existence ;—the iuty remains, to those who survive them, of guarding against the perils of the future. 'We do hope that it will be among the earliest cares of Parliament to legislate for the salutary and beneficent purposes of this protection, by some such law tf Mining Registration, inspection, and control, is we have alluded to. Nor can we imagine any more pressing or reasonable demand on the official consideration and solicitude of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Let Sir JAMES GRAHAM tbandon his morbid appetite for schemes of prison liscipline in favour of Mining Regulation. Let him forego his expensive and sinister passion for Model Prisons in favour of Model Mines and Collieries. We would much rather, for our own parts, peruse a lispatch on this latter subject from the Right lion. Baronet, illustrated by the clever and useful sugges tions of his practical and business-like mind, than we .would read again his famous letter of December, 1842, to " My Lords and Gentlemen," Commissioners • fur the Government of Pentonville Prison," in which his own notions of the statistics of criminal reproba tion are set forth with so much appalling tranquillity. We would rather see, to-morrow, a Blue-book, full if lithographed plans, sections, elevations, &c., of the safest and best machinery and workings, illustrated by details of the management, of the best conducted mines And oollieries in the country, than the " twenty-two plans and details," executed at the public cost by Major J. 131111, in order to develop the whole " art and mystery" wherewith Sir James's favourite crotchet has been carried out (at a frightful expense), from the vaulted roofing of the chapel, and the fittings of the cells, down to the nameless furniture of the latter, and the pigeon-hole sittings of the former. The Right Hon, Baronet might find it a more honest and ennobling occupation for a public servant to devote his inquiries and invention, even, to the obviating, by a well digested scheme of what may be called ".Alining regu lation and registry," the frightful sacrifices of human life and members to which we are recurring, than the impounding the letters of foreigners resi• lent in this country ; violating their seals, and betraying, or clandestinely acting upon, their filched contents. Let him, then, reassert the claims of the Sir JAMES GRAHAM of Lord GREY'S Adminis tration upon public respect, by such an effort, on the part of the Sir JAMES GRAHAM of the PEEL Go vernment, in the cause of humanity at large, and for the immediate benefit of one of the largest, most la borious, and most perilously occupied classes of our industrial community. W. have accounts, by the Levant mail, from Con stantinople, to the 13th ult., Alexandria the 20th, and Malta the 24th. The news from the Turkish capital is without interest. MEIIEMIT Ard still remained at Cairo in good health, and displaying great activity in business. A telegraphic dispatch was received at Alexandria on the 20th, announcing the arrival of the Overland mail at Suez, on the 19th. The steamer Liverpool, had arrived at Alexandria to convey the mail to Marseilles. We have received Madrid journals of the 25th ult• According to some of them the Council of Ministers have very frequent meetings, but the public are kept in ignorance as to their objec•s, though they are sup posed to have reference to the late attempts at insur rection. It was said that ORIBE had been dismissed from the military command of Logrono, because he had not taken sufficiently energetic measures against ZIMBANOIS band. A deputation from that town had arrived in Madrid, and addressed a petition to the Quasi in favour of ZURBANO'S son, but we fear too late, for accounts from Bayonne of the 28th announce that BENITO ZURIIANO i aged twenty-eight years, and ex-Lieutenant-Colonel in the Spanish service, toge ther with CATO Mcao, ZETEBANOIS brother-in-law, and two other insurgents, were shot at Logrono on the 25th. The Funds continued to rise. On the 25th the Three per Cents. closed at 304 for cash, and at 31 at GO days ; the Five per Cents. at 20i at GO days; and the Floating Debt at 67, for the 11th instant. By the steam-packet Queen, which arrived at Southampton on the 2d inst., we have intelligence from Gibraltar to the 24th, and Lisbon to the 27th of November. We regret to state that a most lamentable fire had broken out on Wednesday last, at Lisbon, in the Rua Magdalena, by which 13 persons had been burnt to death. It appears there were no ladders at hand, and neither the police nor the authorities could render any assistance. A. Bill of Indemnity had passed the Chamber of Peers by a majority of eight in favour of Ministers. The muni cipal elections were also going on in their favour. A meeting of the English residents, for the pur pose of electing a British Judge Conservator in that city, took place on,the 22d inst., when Doctor SILVA. PEREIRA was elected by a large majority. The Al bion, 90 guns, had returned to Lisbon, after a cruise. The attacks made by Mr. O'CONNELL last week on Louis PnimerE, the French press, the University, M. TIIIERS, and other leading men in France, has excited replies from the Paris journals of a very amus ing character. The writers having had sufficient provocation speak their minds rather freely, and cer tainly do not come off worst. The Constitutionnel which takes up the cause of M. TRIERS, 35y5-" The conduct of O'CONNELL sets all calculation at defiance; he has an object in ♦iew which he pursues with an ad mirable perseverance ; it is the great point of his character, and his life ; but setting aside his stedfast ness of purpose to a sacred cause, if we examine the means set at work, we shall find, in all the acts and all the words of the old agitator, an absence of fixity, a mobility of ideas, which despairs and alarms ;" and af terwards adds, "but we must pity the errors and the faults of a great man." The Journal des Debats animadverts on his speech rather in raillery than anger. " There is Mr. O'CoNNELL again, who appears in the horizon decked in a cap of blue velvet embroidered in gold, with gar lands of shamrock. We are really grieved that the air of his mountains has not better soothed his bile. and if we were not aware that great men had their weaknesses, and that even the most accomplished comedians cannot bear criticism patiently, we should be astonished at the transports of rage into which this irascible personage is thrown by the most moderate observations. Mr. OVoNNELL on that day was in full vein for applying epithets. He wished to give us our share, and we do him the justice to acknowledge that he placed us in good company. For this reason we do not bear him any malice, and to prove it to him, we republish most accurately the abuse with which he honoured us. Mr. O'CONNELL when he abuses is sure to have the upper hand. He has such richness and fecundity of picturesque expressions, that unless we had at our service the catechism which is sold in the streets during the Carnival, and in which we are taught the manner of re plying to personalities without falling into a passion, we could not reasonably endeavour to contend with him. For this reason GOD forbid that we should attempt it. We might well permit him, moreover, to call us incredulous,' for it is certain we do not believe one word he says, and that it is that makes him so furious. Every one may have seen in the public squares a mountebank, who begins by twisting the neck of a bird, and then places it on a table, say ing, ' I will restore him to life immediately.' He then begins to tell anecdotes, whilst he is making his collection in the meantime. Those among the spec tators who become weary depart, quite persuaded that the bird will recover; but there are others who have the indiscretion to remain and await the miracle. Those persons are the most troublesome, and it is tlione that the operators love this laa.it. It ;ethue that Mr. O'CONNELL proceeds. He commences by promis ing repeal. It will be had in six months; in three months. He then passes to another subject. Ile speaks of the four quarters of the world ; of the emancipation of the negroes ; of the French journals ; of the impious university ; et de quibtmdanz whilst his audience listen to him with their mouths open. But if some bungling spectator should de mand news of repeal, he would do well to quit the ring as quickly as possible. This is nearly what has happened to us. We are unbelievers because we do not believe in O'CoNNALL's word. We are atheists because we have no faith in his miracles, But if Mr. O'CONNELL cares so little about us as he asserts, why is he so angry ? Why does there enter so much gall into the soul of a devotee ?' In truth, when we see the sad position in which Mr. O'Cosixst.v. is placed, and the extravagant tricks he is obliged to play before the public, we feel but commiseration for him. We must take into consideration his embarrassments, lie can only speak. Ile has already finished the Tories and the Whigs, who, however, are not the worse. At present it is the turn of the KING of. the FRENCH, and of the University, and of that immoral French press, which has had the cruelty to refuse to believe him to be serious." The National defends itself and M. ODILON BAunor and taunts Mr. O'CortisaLL with want of courage ia' eternally talking whilst he should be acting. After stating that M. BARROT has nothing to do with the National, it says : " We should be happy to give assistance to the people of Ireland, as we should to every people sighing for in dependence. Stripped of its soil, reduced to a condition of frightful misery, deprived of its most precious rights, ever treated as a conquered race, the people of Ireland exhibits to us the most painful and palpable instance of the violence and cupidity of British aristocracy. And, when that people is struggling under the weight of' so many chains, when it has neither bread nor an asylum left, it appears to us that O'Connell, armed with a power so great, could do better than eternally speak of him self. It appears to us that a man gifted with so much talent, if he had a particle of feeling, would not confine himself to act the part of a citizen advocate. We stigmatise as a cruel mockery the conduct of a mountebank who delights in throwing an entire famishing population into a state of sterile agita tion. A good Christian should not assume an atti tade so contemptible, nor everlastingly deceive by his falsehoods a people grourd down by their misfortunes. It appears to us that a man, placed at the head of 7.000,000 of an ardent and almost desperate population, and receiving from them a liberal cjvil list, exposes him self to the contemptuous disdain of honest men by hold ing out to that people from year to year, from month to month, the prospect of repeal, which he knows to be im possible. Such are our sentiments. if O'Connell does not understand them. we are certain that they will be understood by the sincere men who surround him, and who address him in secret reproaches similar to those with which we publicly assail him. They have not the advantage of being crafty jurists, eloquent orators, and narrators of puerile trifling stories ; but they ardently love their country, they share all the sufferings of the people, and they spurn the idea of making Ireland, bleed ing from all her pores, a pedestal for their own renown. If amongst them are citizens who have not the courage to sacrifice their lives for the liberation of their country, they will n o d ou b t l eave to others the honour of placing ' themselves at the head of those who shall take field. Command in such a country like Ireland is both an honour and a danger. No one ought to accept the one when he has nut the courage to incur the other." The Gobe, a Ministerial journal, thus ungenerously, we think, exults over the helpless condition of the Duke of BoneDßAux, and indiscreetly places the policy of Lots PHILIPPE in a very equivocal light : " His Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale has just married, at Naples, the Princess Caroline of Solerno. Princess Caroline is the Duke de Bourdeaux's cousin. Thus the revolution of 1830 finds alliances even in the Pretender's family. This must make the Legitimists reflect. It must make them reflect the more, as, while the Duke de Aumale finds an alliance in the very family of the Duke de Bordeaux, the Duke de Bourdeaux can find none anywhere, not even among the princely fam ilies that are hostile to the Revolution of July—so true i t is that the eldest branch is considered by all, even by those who regret it, as a dead branch. The living may weep over the dead, but do not enter into alliances with them. " It is a strange thing—the policy of Lewis XlV.—tho policy of alliances by and between the mi,mbers of the Bourbon family is, at this moment, being realised in houthern Europe. It is a Bourbon who reigns at Naples, and who has Just formed an alliance with a Bourbon of the younger branch, which reigns in France. Spain, by the marriage of Queen Isabella with a Dotirbov, is `HE SUN, LONOON, TIPESDAN EVEN NG, DECEMBER 3, 1344. about to re-enter the bosom of that eminently French family. Thus are three European royalties eAsblisheil on 'lns noble and ancient basis. This is not the mere effect of chance. The Ring of the French, with that instinct which in him is genius, has admirably understood that the alliances of France raust be of two sorts. Owing to her past and her pre sent position in Europe, France must have monarchical alliances. Owing to her ideas and institutions, France must have liberal alliances. The King of the French makes those two sorts of alliances go together, and whilst he was fraternising in London with the Consti tutional Government, issued from the Revolution of 1688, he was concluding at Naples a monarchical alli ance with the house of Bourbon. This is sound and grand policy." The French Three per Cents. continued firm, and were quoted on Sunday at 83f. 65c. for the settle ment, and at Baf. 80c. for the end of December.

The calendar contained more than the average number of prisoners, there appearing no less than 63 cases, of which 54 were charges of felony, and 9 for assaults and other mi-detnestioura. • A fine able-bodied young man, named George Knight, was indicted fur stealing a coat, of the value of les., the property of Thos. Marshall. It appeared by the evidence, that the prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutor, and taking up the article named in the indictment, ran off with it. He was, how ever, eventually taken in custody, after a sharp run. The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty, and The COURT, after cautioning the prisoner, sentenced him to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. The Prisoner—My Lord, I entreat of you to send me uut of the country. I have lost my character, and for the last three years I find it impossible to earn an honest livelihood. The IiaStsTANT-JuDGA—Have you reflected suffici. ently upon the matter before you make the requeXt? Prisoner—l have, and I think that if I went to an other country I _might eventually earn an honest live lihood. The AsstsTANT-Jrpon.--If this be your wish, I shall respite the sentence until next session, when some course will be adopted if you still be of the same opinion. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, after thinking the Court with every appearance of sincerity. John 'Were was indicted for stealing a knife, the pro perty of John Burge's. The Jury returned ar.-verdict:of Guilty and the Court sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Just as the prisoner was removed from the bar, the Police Constable, D 168 1 who took him into custody, stated to the Cbtot that he had found the duplicate of a Waterloo medal upon the prisoner. It bore the name of James Heaney, and, upon inquiry at the Horse Guards, he found that a person of the name of Heaney had been discharged in the year 1817, from the 2d battalion of the Coldstream GuatdS, The ASSISTANT-JUDGE expressed his hopes that the statement of the police-constable would gain publicity through the medium of the press. There were few relics more valued and prised by an old veteran than a medal, and he desired the constable to use every exertion to find the owner, MONEY AND CoMMEttuiAL W S CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 to 4,000 bales, including 400 bales Pernambuco, at sd. to 61d. ; 150 Egyptian, at sid. ; and 300 Surat, at 2fd. to 3d. ; 150 Maranham, at 4fd. to sd. ; and the not American, at 3d. to 51d. per lb.—There was an active business in SharQs at firm prices :—Birmingham and Gloucester, 97 ; Bristol and Gloucester, 351 ; Cale donian, 41 f ; Direct Northern, 21 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow,-. 62-f-; Grand Junction, 215 ; Ditto, Halves, 1071 ; Great Western, 142 ; Hull and Selby, Halves, 14i ; Liverpool and Manchester, New, 35 3 44 ; London and York, 85s. 831. 9d ; London and Brighton, 481 ; London and South-Western, 79 ; Ditto, New, 27 ; Manchester and Birmingham 311} ; Manchester, Bolton, and Bury; 123} ; Manchester and Leeds, 114 f ; New castle and Carlisle, 105 f ; Sheffield and Manchester, 944 95 ; Paris and Lyons, 3/- ; Paris and Rouen, 39} Sambre and Meuse, 3; Tours and Nantes, 2f ; Boulogne and Amiens, 5 4-I._ . The affair of „ Zurbano, according to the advises re ceived within the last few days; will soon be reckoned among the mere petty emeutes which so frequently dis tract, without revolutionising, Spain; and, as in the his tory of most countries, for a time at least, the Govern ment of Nurvaez appears to have acquired in the eyes of his countrymen increased solidity and power. Tne effect of a strong Government in Spain might, it is ac knowledged, prove highly beneficial, .were its efforts directed to the preservation of the constitu tion ; but, as is generally the case, and as was particularly exemplified in the fate of 'Espartero ; men who hesitate at strong measures, are generally those who have most at heart the welfare of their native land, There is not a syllable of n ews i n th e City, th a t m ay , be dependett upon i relative to the robbery of Rogers and Co, That a strong desire enists to learn the mode in which the delinquency Wag COMUlitted is certain, but think that no clue will be publicly given as to the trans action. Has negotiation is said to be out of the ques tion, whether for 4,0001, or 5,0004 to return the whole amount, the detective principle will be strongly exerted. The loss of the Liverpool line of packet ship Eliza beth, Captain Paton, has caused an expression of great regret by a numerous class of parties in the City. The veteran Commander was well known, not only at the out- port above named, but also in the port of London. Captain Paton, we are induced to believe, has for years had the means of enjoying his etium cum dignatati—but he could not bear a state of inactivity. The Comntissionera took this morning Three per Cent. Consols for Money, at 1001, and the Pew Threeasnd•a- Quarter per Cents. at 1021—in all, about 15,0001. were bought. Consols for the Account have been quoted at 1011, and for Money at 104. The premium upon Ex chequer Bills continues to fall. Sales have been made as low as 555. premium.

(Before Sir K. Brtucr-..) Tris GREAT NORTH of ENGLAND, CLARENCE, AND LtARTLE. POOL JUNCTION RAILWAY COXPANY V. THE CLARENCE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was .a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from offering any obstruction to the plain tiffs in constructing a bridge over the defendant's line, which should form a shorter and more direct mode of communication than the Clarence Railway now afforded. The defendants refused to let the plaintiffs make use of their land adjoining their line for the erection of the ne cessary scaffolding, &e., for the construction, and had built tip high walls so as to completely prevent the plain tiffs from proceeding with the bridge. The object of the motion was to have the obstructions thus erected re moved, so that the plaintiffs' wotl.s night proceed. The case has been already twice before the Court. Hosoun to-day stated, that, under all the circum stances of the caso, he thought the beat course he could adopt for all parties was to refuse to make any order upon the motion at present, as the plaintiffs did not yet appear to have a right to the temporary casement on the defendant's soil, which they claimed as being requisite for the construction of the bridge. Let the parties bring the notion before the Lord Chancellor, without being re quired to'give fresh notice. (Before Sir J. WICRAM.) His - Honour to-day heard arguments in several cases which were set down to be spoken to. His Honour will take petitions and short causes on Friday next instead •f Saturday. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Middlesex Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. GORDON. This was an indictment against the defendant, James Brodie Gordon, for perjury alleged to have been com mitted in swearing in two affidavits, in an answer in the Court of Chancery, that certain promissory notes and bills therein mentioned were not in the possession of the firm of Gordon and Sons, of which firm defendant was a member, whereas the said notes and bills had been out Of the possession of the said firm. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Bute conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Jervis and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the de fendant. Mr. KELLY having stated the case to the jury. put in the bills, the affidavits and the proceedings in Chancery, on an application to the Vice-Chancellor, for an injunc tion against the defendant and his partners, restraining them from endorsing, or peying away a promissory note for 1,000/ signed by a Mr. Rice, then in their possess Rion. The solicitor, who conducted the proceedings in Chan cery, and his clerk, Mr. Westwood, described the his tory of the suit. Mr. Edwin Bryant, merchant; has known defendant fifteen years, Ile has had in possession a promissory note •of Mr. Rice's for ;1,000/ in July or February, 1841. It was left with him by defendant as a col lateral security for money lent, Defendant told witness if he had an opportunity of negotiating it, or desired to discount it, he might do so. Wifness said in reply, " He would do so, if he had an opportunity." In March defendant applied for further advances, and had lON. That was on the 3d of March, He had also advanced money on the 19th of February On the 15th of March there was another advance of 651. and on the 23d of March another of 1201. Witness did not negotiate the bill, He does not recollect haring pre sented the bill while it was running, although he has been told that ho did. lie has been closely interrogated upon the point before, but he cannot recollect that the bill was out of his possession until after the month of June. Has understood from defendant that Glynn and Co.had granted him a temporary loan upon securities, of which this note constituted a portion. Has been told that such was the case while the bill was running. If he had been asked, he would hare had no objection to have let defendant have the bill to raise money upon it, for the purpose of withdrawing it, and repaying him, or of letting him have it again. He hid the utmost tiotifidence In the firm of Gerdoti and ;Sons. The first time he heard of the bill having been at Glynn's was about the time of the trial of Scurnett v. Rice, to recover the amount of the bill. In June he mad. a further advance to defendant. Mr. KELLY—Did you make any advance on the 9th of June ? Witness—Certainly not. Mr. KELLY—Your Lordship will find it so stated in the supplemental bill, Nix% Jewels interrupted the Learned Gentleman, who resuined the examination. Witness did not on 9th of June give the defendant or his .firm 3801, or any such sum, to retrieve the bill from Glynn's. He does not recollect defendant stating when the note came back into his hands. It was most cer ,tainly in his hands on the 10th of June, the day it be came due, and his clerk presented it for payment. He had never had any further communication on the sub ject with defendant since the trial of Scurnett v. Rice. had never either directly or indirectly had any commu• nication with Messrs. Glynn on the subject. Presented the note to Mr. Eyres at the request of Messrs. Gordon on payment of costs some months after the bill had be- , come due. - Cross-examined by Mr. JERVIS—When the promissory note was given to him, he was in advance to the Gordons 4001. or 500/., The note was endorsed to him in the regular way. The disputes between Gowan and Gordon had' heel referred. Whelidefendant spoke to witness about the'bill he told him that all his books were in possession of the arbitrators, and that consequently he was in a very awkward position. • Mr. Daniels, the managing clerk to Glynn and Co., deposed that they were the bankers of Messrs. Gordon. On the 10th of April, 1841, there was an advance to Gerdons of 1,500/. Ilas no doubt but that they took security, but that would not appear in the books. • Mr. Pickering, another clerk at Glynn's, proved the state' of Gordons' account at the bank in the early part of 1841, from which it appeared that, before the ad vance on the 10th of April, they had 16/. balance in the bankers' hands, and, on the 7th, 2541 This concluded the case for the prosecution. Mr. JMRYIS then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, and contended that there was not one tittle of evidence to support the charge. Not only so, but there was not the slightest stain upon his character. Lord DErAmAN, in summing up the case, told the jury that the perjury was alleged to have been committed in two affidavits and a supplenientel bill in the Court or Chancery. William Ricc i it appeared, had applied fbis an injunction to restrain defendant from negotiating two promissory notes signed by him, and should de liver them up to William Rice. Tho defendant stated in his affidavit that he had paid Away the two promissory notes, and had them not its his possession. This Wail alleged to be untrue. in the second affidavit it was sworn that the notes had been paid, the one to Mr. Scurnett and the other to Mr. Bryant. This was denied, and perjury assigned thereon ; and in answer to the supplemental bill, defendant stated that the bills were not in his possession, and had not been in his power ; and on that statement also perjury was assigned. Such were the alleged per jAuirri.ens,icaenedbiotuclaerbtaeiTnelydiwedas b m ef u o e r h e t t b o o e b e e se re i% gr e e e tt b ed rou t g h b a t t e to ns ti w r e a r l. to Ho w n b c i i e w b c d am ef e em t i o at te it h ew tu o p r p e le t m b e e nal bil l, in the edoto. cured the bill from Bryant, and lodged it as security with Glynn's fOr an advance, and that on the 9th June he had agreed with Bryant, that he should:advance 387/. to makeup the sum required to redeem the bill from Glynn s o which was done, and the bill was handed over to Bryant. Now, this certainly was a different account frois the one formerly given, but they must he satisfied that this was the true account, and that the other was false, before they could convict. If they had any doubt on the subject, they must acquit. It was also stated that the defendant was very .nervous, and that the interrogatories put by the Court of Chancery were very embarrassing, but they would not wid a person to make a false statement. They must alai) be satisfied that the false statements had been made wilfully and corruptly, and certainly it should be recollected that he had by his first affidavit obtained his object, the dismissal of Rice's application with costs, They iad heard the evidence of Mr. Byant, and they would•deteresine-vvhether the former account given by defendant was untrue in point of fact, and if such un truth was uttered corruptly—if so they would give the verdict for the Crown, but if they had any doubt they would give their verdict for defendant. The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. --- , Foyle A. , tvEs LosT.—Ano "er those deplorable and lamerrtable occurrences which too frequently tteecnnA pany mining or4rations, and characterise the critical lind dangerous position of that class of individuals who labour to gain their daily bread in this section of national in dustry, happened at Beaufort Iron Works, in one of the mine quarries, or patches, on Tuesday afternoon, by which the lives of four persons were sacrificed.

(RECEIVED TIIIS BnussaLs, Dec: I.—The Chamber terminated yester day the debate on the budget of ways and means, which wee agreed to without modification by a majority of 61 to 4. A su,'den change has taken place in the affairs of St. Thoni.s's. Among the Members of the Chamber who, fur these three days have taken a malicious pleasure in de cry Ins the colony at St. Thomas, there are some who would be very glad if they could recal their words while they were talking of a ruinous combination and impor- Jure, and at the moment when it was leaf expected a change has taken place, and the English have taken it up, What dues this mean ? What has happened 2 Why, the English have said, " You will not give three millions to a company com posed of your own countrymen l Well, we will give them. You will not have your countrymen go with their labour and their capital, to fertilise the virgin soil of St. Thomas's ; well, we will send ours. You will not found a Belgian American empire for your glory, and for the future splendour of your industry; well, we will found an empire which shall equal Anglo-America. Everybody will be contented, because you will get rid of an affair which annoyed you ; and we, because while seeking an oppor tunity to employ our capital to advantage, we at the same time always bear in mind the territorial aggran- , disenient and the prosperity of the manufactories of our country." We hope, however, that the Belgian Company will not be completely transformed into an English one. Undoubtedly those who give three millions to the Company have reserved to themselves some rights of su perintendence and control. We may therefore expect that some Englishmen will be joined with Belgiansin the twelve Directors of the Company : we shall see Eng lishmen take part in the advantages which the peculiar situation of St. Thomas's offer to the commerce and ma nufacture of Europe: we still hope that Brussels will continue to be the seat of this Company, that Ost:nd and Bruges will not lose the promised opportunity of sending their ships and receiving the returns. All these, how ever, must soon be cleared up,—Courrier Beige. s a i l& ROYAL VISIT TO STOWE.—W 6 are e° o lo l ° , announce that her Majesty has signified her cel3s.de honouring by an early visit his Grace the Dukt o sierii inghani, at his princely mansion in Buckingoeee The precise day is net yet fixed, but we l l o r s l.° ll' may state that the Court will leave Windsor r either during the week before or the week glf t ? 40'0 mas.
