The proceedings if the Irish State trials on Thursday were of the most uninteresting de scription—necessary to the case for the Crown, but exceedingly tedious to the portion of the public that happened to be hearers. Not a single witness was called throughout the day, which was occupied with the reading of articles and reports of speeches from the Freeman and Pilot newspapers. These documents ranged over the whole space of time during which the monster meetings were held, and the dinners by which those meetings were generally succeeded. Many of them having been given in the indictment, and again in the opening address of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, they have been, to a consider able extent, omitted in the report. The closing of the case for the Crown only depends on the extent to which theie extracts and speeches may be read. There is n o wish on the part of the traversers to prolong the proceedings needlessly; but their Counsel consider it but fair, that if • portions of speeches are picked out and read, as evidence against their clients, they have a right to have other portions read that may considerably alter or qualify the meaning of the others, when ,taken by themselves. The prin- cipal speeches that have been read by the Clerk of the Crown are those at Mallow, Baltinglass, and Tara. The interest of' the proceedings will now scarcely revive till the speeches of the counsel for the' traversers commence. _ Lately Mr. O'CONNELL has not been much in the Court. He is busily engaged in the library among books and papers. If the reading of this documentary evidence pro ceeds no faster, and if it is carried over the whole series of the meetings, it will scarcely be concluded till Saturday. Our Correspondent makes the following remarks relative to the evidence of Mr. HUGHES, the Govern ment reporter : " The position of witness for the Crown, in a Go vernment prosecution, has often been bad enough in Ireland; but it does not follow that the people are destitute of all power of discrimination between the honest witness, and the man who gives his testimony from motives which are neither disinterested nor inde pendent. For this reason, considerable regret has been expressed here to-day, that the Times should have been so misinformed as to state, in a leader of Wednesday, that every attempt is being made in Dublin, to inflame the minds of the people against Mr. BOND HUGHES, by posting the walls with placards, describing him as a spy, a miscreant, &c. Nothing can be more unfounded than such an assertion. I have neither seen any such placard, nor by inquiry can I discover any person who has. Indeed the impression with respect to Mr. HUGHES is quite the reverse of unfavourable. BefOre his evidence was given, and while it was un known what he was to be called to prove, it cannot be wondered at that some suspicion and ill-feeling should exist respecting him. But from the moment his evidence was published, not a word has been printed or uttered respecting him but what has been complimentary to him. The Dublin Press has been most scrupulous in making the amende to him ; men of all parties agree that his evi dence did him credit in every respect; and we may even say that he is rather popular than otherwise. Even among the lower classes the same favourable impres sion exists, and they draw a wide distinction between him and the other witnesses, who swore to the speeches as reporters. That there is any attempt to inflame the minds of the people against him is a mere falsehood, which has been imposed on the Times, and may pass uncontradicted in London ; but read here, with the quiet and peaceable deportment of the people under immediate observation, such state ments appear absolutely absurd." We are not learned in legal lore ; we do not pro fess to understand the subtleties of law; but we do profess to understand the common sense of questions, and to see as far into a millstone as any of our neigh bours. And, looking at the trial now going on in Ireland, with all the appliances and means to boot with which we are endowed, we do think that we can form as good a judgment of the proceedings as any of our contemporaries. It is to us evident that the case for the prosecution is drawing to a close, and that the end of the be ginning is at hand. And such an end never was, in our opini( n, witnessed. The evidence for the Crown might, in truth, have been given for the traversers, and every witness against them might, with far more judgment, have been called for them. The prose cutors have proved that the meetings were peaceable —that no secrecy was used in calling them—that every publicity was given to them—that every. reporter for Government or for the press was admitted freely and without restraint—that peace was on the lips, as in the conduct, of the leaders—and that no fear was caused, nor alarm created. What more could there be proved for the defence ? Evidence can only go to facts, not to intent, and intent can only be judged of by those facts. The evidence given for the prosecution indisputably proves the innocence of the accused. We do not think that any English jury would ever call for a defence from persons against whom such evidence only had been given. We are quite sure that no English jury would convict upon such evi dence. Why then should we hesitate or doubt as to an Irish jury ? Why should we fear the result in their hands ? Simply and solely, because when an Irish Attorney-General relies upon a case totally groundless, a mere tale of a tub, to procure him a verdict, we presume he knows his jury. He ought to know it, for he had trouble enough to get it. And if he relies upon the jury, so much the more fear for the traversers. It is not sufficient for us to have seen the case against the tra versers, grow " small by degrees and beautifully less"—to have seen it dwindle away, and melt like snow in the sun ; for we feel no confidence in Irish law, in Irish justice, in Irish juries ; and we feel grateful that, thanks to the Crown officials, no verdict, can damage the accused, nor do good to their persecutors. Mr. WARD, we perceive, has been paying a visit to his Sheffield constituents, whom he addressed on Wednesday last, on the subject of the line of policy he pursued last session in Parliament. His address was received with every token of approbation—and deservedly so, for it was manly and consistent in its tone, and abounded in useful, practical suggestions. We wish we had many more men in the House of Commons like the Hon. Member for Sheffield, who combines boldness with sagacity ; sees the truth, and does not hesitate to speak it; steers clear of all party prejudices and predilections--those fatal quicksands on which so many clever men are constantly sinking, and being engulphed ; and regards nothing but the interests of the community at large. It is not a little to Mr. WARD'S credit that while the Tories hold him in fear and abhorrence as a Reformer of the most dangerous latitudinarian character, the Whigs have no special liking for him, inasmuch as he refuses to run tractably in Whig harness, but chooses to think —speak—decide—and vote—according to his own strong and correct impressions of things. 'We repeat, therefore, that we heartily wish 'we had some more men like Mr. WARD in Parliament, and then we should no longer be afflicted with such an overwhelming landlords' majority as was exhibited last session, and, as we fear, will be exhibited in the next, unless Reformers of all classes agree to forego their petty party differences, and combine_ together for the public good. Alluding to this important branch of his subject, the Member for Sheffield ob served, " I have no other hope of breaking in on the Conservative majorities of the present House of Com mons, but by a union of all parties. You tell me that trade is improved a little. I fear not much. Ido not see where the improvement is to come from. I do not see that there can be any beneficial or extensive increase in our manufacturing trade and commerce under the present state of export and import duties. We must break in on the exist ing system. I trust that the whole constituency of this country will give such an impulse to public men, as will force them all on in the path of onward march." Most cordially do we echo this wish. Un- less something of the sort be done, we do not see what security we can have against those dishearten ing fluctuations and depressions in commerce, which have of late years been so frequent among us. The Whigs must learn to lay aside their paltry distrust and jealousy of the more resolute and advanced class of Re formers ; sacrifice at the altar of the public good some of their old-fashioned, party prejudices; and take the lead in a vigorous political crusade against the common enemy, the Monopolists. If the ultra-Tories on all great questions affecting their interests, can put their prejudices in their pockets, and join with the more moderate Conservatives, to check the progress of energetic commercial reforms, why should the Whigs hesitate to combine with the more uncompromising Liberals in their efforts to further the progress of these indispensable reforms ? When bad men conspire, good men should combine, says the old adage ; and we hope the Whigs will bear this in mind during the session that is now so close at hand. In reference to the ticklish question of Ireland, Mr. WARD, while pro fessing himself inimical to the project of Repeal, spoke boldly and sternly out as to the necessity of an equitable, conciliatory course of polioy being pursued towards the sister country. " A little meddling policy," he said, " would do no good in Ireland at the present day. The Government would not concede anything. Sir JAMES GRAHAM had said that it was a crisis of the utmost importance, and yet would do nothing. As respects the Irish Church, he thought that to sacrifice one part of the empire to the Church Establishment, was a matchless act of national imbecility." Mr. WARD, it may be remembered, expressed himself strongly On this subject last session ; and, of course, he will resume the theme in Parliament at the first fitting oppor tunity, when we presume he will obtain a more patient and respectful hearing from Ministers, than it was his fate to meet with last year; for the strenuous Repeal agitation that has taken place Ia the interim, and convulsed Ireland to its centre, cannot but have made a deep impression on our halting and expediency-loving Government. Madrid journals of the 19th have been received. The accounts from the provinces, as to the reception of the new municipal law, are said to be satisfactory, with very few exceptions. Great opposition to it in Galicia was apprehended, and reports prevailed at Madrid that the Government had received alarming news from that quarter. A deputation from the Magistracy of Corunna had waited on the QUEEN, and presented a loyal address, to which her MAJESTY replied— " Convinced that justice is the certain guarantee of order and of the happiness of my people, I always receive with the greatest pleasure the expressions of the devotedness of the members of the Magistracy. I reckon on your proverbial sense of equity in the dispensing of the laws to promote the prosperity of a generous people." The Three per Cents. were done at 26i for cash, and 26 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 19i for cash, and 19i at 60 days. In the discussion which took place in the French Chamber, on Wednesday, M. VILLEMAIN, the Mi nister of Public Instruction, defended the University against the attacks made on it by the clergy and M. Carne, one of the speakers. It was said by these authorities that there reigned in the schools a philo sophy which aimed at substituting for the Christian religion a sort of rational religion—something, in fact, higher than ordinary religion. He would not allow that any such language ought to hold in con tradiction to the writings and solemn declarations of the most respectable men. He regretted that such attacks should be made against men whose merits were not appreciated as they ought to be. ". Shall I venture," continued the Hon. Minister, "to remind you of the great movement that took place after the empire, and mention to you a much revered name — that one who for many years was President of this Chamber—M. ROYER COLLARD? Do you not be lieve, Gentlemen, that the man who restored amongst us an admiration for the genius of DES CARTES, who uplifted anew the colours of spiritualism, and prepared the way for political liberty by his instructions in moral liberty—who elevated men's minds, and inspired them with the sentiment of their political duties by inculcating that of their moral and social duties—do you suppose, I say, that a man like this, would have introduced into France a philosophy which we ought now to disdain and repu diate ?—(Loud approbation.) And have the men who came after him—his disciples whom he loved and ho noured—have they quitted the path of that noble aired pure philosophy ? Do you believe that those men have endeavoured to direct men's minds towards the very doctrines they have stigmatised with the name of sensualism ? No ; they have, on the contrary, con tinued to so instruct in philosophy that it should not certainly replace religion, but prepare the public mind for it. But what is the nature of the course of instruction so severely attacked by M. CARNE ? Here it is. With DESCARTES, whose name is ene of the glories of France, are joined the works of MALLE BRANCHE, ARNAUD, BOSSUET, and FENELON ; and to them the Council has added the writings of CLARKE LEIBNITZ, and EULER. Such is our programme for the instructing in philosophy, and to this do our wishes tend.' His speech, which displayed liberal principles, and a full determination to maintain the authority of the State in all measures connected with public instruc tion, derived additional interest from his allusions to the system adopted by NAPOLEON. The following remarks were listened to with great attention "If an education, learned and appropriate to all the re quirements of public life, had not instilled into minds the germs of instruction and of talent, France would not have found herself so promptly able, on two occasions, to recon stitute a Government, which had each time drawn nearer to constitutional principles.—(Marks of approbation.) He would ask the Chamber at what time had feelings of discontent first manifested itself against these institutions? Was it at a remote period? No; it was at an epoch when a spirit of vio lence and re-action first began to operate in France. When did the first pamphlet appear, of which a new edition had lately been published at Lyons ? It was in 1815 ; it was at a time when men, who attacked at once the glory and inde pendence of the country, had the upper hand. Were these attacks and complaints well founded? Was not the Imperial system of education sufficient for all purposes ? Was it sus ceptible of ameliorations ? Had it not already received them ? That was what he proposed to examine. There was, though the predominant principle of the empire, something too im perious, too military, in the regime of the old schools. There was something too restricted, too limited, in the instruction ; there appeared to be a fear of that development of ideas which the Honourable M. de Carrie found excessive and dan gerous; this was not a subject of blame to the University, but the favourite idea of that glorious spirit which then pre sided over the destinies of the country. The. Emperor, whose attention was fixed on the University, one day made the fol lowing note, which has been carefully preserved in the archives of the Ministry ":—" The University is not sufficiently dominant—it does not represent with sufficient activity the idea of the Emperor and the unity of France—private insti tutions must be closed until each lyceum has obtained the number of boarders which it can receive. This suppression should commence with those establishments which are badly organised, for such as are good should be preserved."—(Sen sation.) When this note was sent to the Council of the University, amongst the members of which figured such men as Baron Cuvier, the answer was that free competition should be allowed both to private teachers and to the University. The Emperor hesitated at these observations, and the University, which the Emperor wished to fill by artificial means and by giving six thousand free admissions, had in a few years more paying pupils than the number of free admissions which the Emperor had proposed to give—(Movement.) The principle of absolute right had been preserved, but in practice the obligation of having regularly attended the public lectures which dates from the line of the Parliament has been modi fied. So that out of 900 schools, there were 800 which did not follow the exact line of instruction pursued in the col leges. In fact, the greatest number of pupils attending the colleges came from the private residences of their families. Out of 53,000 pupils of the University, there were 19,000 boarders placed by their parents, and a great number of day scholars. It was not therefore families that were restrained, but speculators, under whatever name they might conceal themselves, congregations and others. And yet the state of things which underwent gradual improvements, the state of things which was spontaneously ameliorated by the mere effect of a change in public manners, might yet receive from the laws developments, ameliorations, and limitations at one and the same time, and he should be happy to see them in troduced. He thought that this might be effected by fol lowing up the attempts which had been made by his prede cessors and by himself to present a bill which, in organising the principle of liberty intended by the Charter, would con secrate the authority and surveillance of the Government.— (Approbation.)" The discussion was resumed on Thursday, when M. ODILON BARROT suggested that the proposed amendments should be withdrawn, and the Govern tient be allowed to introduce a Bill on their own responsibility. This proposition seemed to meet with general approbation. The papers contain no news of importance, if we except a feeler put forth by the Spanish Govern ment, in reference to a new loan, and which is given in these words in the National:— " The Spanish financial agent in Paris informs the creditors of Spain, that the Government of her Catholic Majesty is en gaged, with the utmost solicitude, in ameliorating their con dition, by establishing, coincidentally with moral and material order in the country, a new system of assessment of the taxes, which will admit of its providing funds for the payment of its creditors, whether holders of the Three per Cent. stock, or Five per gent., the Government making no difference be tween them. It recognises the rights of all the creditors, and hopes to meet the same sentiments of reciprocity and justice in the men whose mission it is to second its good dis positions." - Great fluctuation took place in the funds on Thurs day. The Three per Cents. were opened at 82f. 15c., fell to 81f. 90c., and closed at 82f. 20c. The Five per Cents. closed at 124 f. 50c.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tint Ur Opinion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The continued depression of the French funds is at tributed to a conviction on the Bourse that Government will require a loan to carry on extensive railroad line z. The majority for Ministers in the present Chamber of Deputies, is estimated at between 40 and 45. The France give the following of the 15th inst., from Goritz :—" The health of the august son of Charles X. gives no longer any uneasiness. The crisis of his disease, from which the Prince has suffered so long, was much stronger and more painful than any preceding attack. Happily, he has become so much better within these last few days, that there is every reason to hope that it has entirely ceased. The health of the Princesses is good." Prince Paul Galitzin, Grand Chamberlain and Ad jutant-General of the Emperor of Russia, and Prince Waldemar Galitzin, Grand Equerry of the Empress, have arrived in Paris. The Paris Correctional Tribunal was occupied on Wednesday with the trial of M. Peyrot, the responsible editor of the National, for two libels, published on May 17th and 18th, against M. de l'Espee, a member of the Chamber of Deputies. The Court, after having heard counsel, condemned M. Peyrot to two months' imprison ment, 4,000 f. fine, and, considering that by .the publica tion in question an injury had been inflicted on M. de l'Esplia, further condemned M. Peyrot to pay 6,000 f. as damages to that gentleman, or to be imprisoned for two years, in the event of non-payment. - Bonneville, the man who was 'condemned to death at the last assizes of the Ain, for the murder of a person named Heritier, was executed at Bourg on Monday. On quitting the prison, he took leave of his friends, saying, " I die innocent." On reaching the scaffold, he embraced and thanked his confessor, and when on the platform, the instant before he was put under the axe, he exclaim ed, " Adieu, Francais ! en avant !" The Suabian Mercury of the 23d ult. state!, on the authority of letters from St. Petersburgh, that the Rus sian Cabinet has made concessions to the Greek Govern ment which will be advantageous to the general peace. These concessions are said to be not only political, but financial. The following bulletin of the health of the Queen of Prussia was published on the 20th :—" Her Majesty had little sleep last night, but the eruption begins to disap pear ; the fever has almost ceased, and the state of her Majesty continues to be satisfactory." 'The young Turks who had been' sent to Vienna, in' order that they might receive a scientific education, have been recalled by the Turkish Government. The Turkish pupils who were at Berlin have also been recalled. The Journal de Frankfort states from Vienna, that by the treaty of navigation and commerce between Austria and the Republic of Mexico, the vessels of the respective States are to pay no other dues than those imposed upon their own shipping, and that the duties on merchandise are not to exceed those imposed upon the most favoured nations. M. Lanzaruole, a mezzotinto engraver, attached to the Jesuits' College at Rome, has, according to a letter from that city, discovered a means of impressing at once upon the lithographic-stone the objects produced by the Daguerreotype, so that a succession of copies may be immediately produced. M. Lanzaruole has presented to the Pope proof-prints of several of the ancient buildings at Rome, which are said to be quite perfect. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times of this morning observes, in a leading arti cle on Ireland—" As" the Ist of February approaches, both parties in Parliament begin their audible prepara tion for the annual Dutch concert. The performance promised by the Whigs is a favourite Irish howl, and the prelude, or what, in case of a sermon, would be the text, is as follows :—` Sir Robert Peel is unfit to conciliate Ireland.' We have no scruple in pronouncing, that without the adoption of measures of a broader and more determined charaCter, not merely for the repression of licentious daring, but for the relief of unmerited suffer ing, and for the redress of demonstrable, if not acknowledged, wrong, than such as have yet been at tempted by any Conservative Minister since the great Emancipation Bill of 1829, Sir R. Peel will assuredly prove himself unable to conciliate even the better portion of Ireland. The spirit, however, in which the phrase we have quoted has been employed, and especially the in ference founded on it, have nothing in common with those national views which alone are worthy of a states man's meditation ; for they are purely selfish, instead of generous—factious and grasping, not benevolent—their authors care not a bulrush for the good of Ireland, but simply for the expulsion of the existing Ministers from office, and the return of the old incapable Whigs. Now, let it be understood for once, that whether a Tory or Whig Ministry be in power, is to the Times, per se, a question of less than no importance.- 4 Whig Tori-usve mihi nullo discrimine habetur.' We have no party but the British monarchy—in Ireland no party but her house less, helpless, hopeless, breadless, and misguided people, or those who are guiltless of oppressing them." The Advertiser thus expresses itself on the subject of the Irish State trials:—" The monster accouchement of Mr. Attorney-General Smith still progresses, although the evidence for the prosecution is nearly exhausted. All the best cards have been played, and pitiable is the appearance which Ministers make in the game. When the mathematician was asked, after perusing Homer's Iliad, what he thought of the work, his answer was, that it proved nothing. The same may be said of the evi dence given by the witnesses for the Crown. Their testimony has proved nothing. Stop a little ; we are mistaken: it has proved a great deal. It has esta blished the case for the defence. One and all of the Attorney-General's witnessing friends, ' witnessed 'for the traversers, proving, in the most conclusive manner, that they are altogether guiltless of the high crimes And misdemeanours laid to their charge." The Herald says:—" Though we cannot approve o the tone adopted by the Committee in the address pre fixed to the resolutions passed at the aggregate meeting in Dublin, we feel assured that many of the individuals who have subscribed to the resolutions themselves are conscientiously impressed with the very wrong idea, that the mere act of discretion and duty performed by the law officer of the Crown, in striking off certain names from the jury list, was an insult and a wrong to the whole body of Catholics. This is an impression that we would gladly see removed, though not out of any respect to the unprincipled agitators who have created it, and who would rather that their Catholic fellow-subjects should remain under the suspicion that they have been wronged and insulted. Those who feel a savage exulta tion in widening the breach between the sister countries would on no account disabuse the Irish of any error which might tend to add bitterness to the animosity they have been taught to foster towards the English people and the English Government." coußT—reanzoreamin.z. The Duchess of Cambridge, attended by the Baroness A hlefeldt and the Baron Lebzeltern, honoured the French plays with her presence last evening.

At Worship-street, an old woman named Margaret Graham, was committed for robbing little children of their clothes. John Marabillon, an Italian landlord of the Fleece public-house, Little Windmill-street, was charged with having fired a pistol, loaded with ball, at Joseph Lever, baker, 34, Silver-street. The prisoner, in his defence, entered into a history of his business transactions with the prosecutor, in which he made out that the prosecutor had not abided by some part of the agreement between them, and had gone into the shop at No. 41, and forcibly removed some fixtures. The prisoner was fully com mitted for trial. In the Court of Common Pleas a Mrs. Hone, formerly a lodging-house keeper, and teacher of an infant school, brought an actio n t or breach of promise of marriage against Mr. Winstone, a gentleman of considerable pro perty, residing in the York-road, and obtained a verdict —Damages, 200 L The following.° cases were heard in the Court of Ex cise :—George Jaques, an itinerant vender of scent bottles, called " Salts and Prestons," residing at No. 4, Lee's-place, Westminster-road, was charged with re moving a quantity of glass which had not paid duty, and fitted 101—William Howes, hair-dresser and tobac conist, No. 8, Barking c h u rchyard, was charged with keeping toba cco i n la part of his house which was not duly entered with the Excise. His solicitor made a strong appeal to the sympathy of the Court, who mitigated the penalty from 100/. to 20s.— John Lewis Watson, of the Castle, Kent-street, South wark, had 24 gallons of gin seized, as being an increase on his stock unaccounted for by permit. Defendant said that the fact was he was in the habit of receiving his gin from the distillers at 22 per cent. over proof, but that the last he had was only 17, and he had, by mis take, reduced it too much. Spirits condemned.—Dsniel Massey Gilbert, lodginghouse - keeper, No. 6, New Basinghall-street, was charged with selling spirits with out a license. The informations for wine, beer, and tobacco were withdrawn. The officers clearly proved that they were supplied without hesitation, even during church hours, with brandy and whiskey, which were kept in the house. The defendant, who is a Common. Councilman for Cripplegate-within, stated that his estab lishment was conducted in such a respectable manner that it was impossible for any person in it to infringe the law. A bill was here produced, in which there was an item, " cash 35.," which the officers swore was given them by the defendant's niece, who said, when asked what that meant, that "that was for the spirits which they must not sell." The fines were mitigated to 20/. In the Court of Bankrtcy assignees in the case of William Bromley, of Grays lnn-square, were appointed. Not less than 47,274/. were proved. Dr. Lushington j and Archdeacon Brymer proving for 20,340/, and Mr. Blair, of Bath, for 26,833/. 14a., which amounts were for trust moneys placed in the hands of the bankrupt for in vestment on mortgage or otherwise.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) CUSTOMS' FRA UDS —THE QUEEN V. BLAKE. Lord DENMAN said, that in the ease of the Queen v. Blake, the Court was of opinion that the rule nisi for a new trial ought to be granted. It would not, however, go into the new tr►all paper, and some day, next. term, would be fixed for the ar gument. THE QUEEN V. FORBES M'NIEL. The defendant, in this case, appeared upon the floor of the Court this morning, to receive judgment. Mr, Justice PATTISON, in passing sentence on the defendant said, that this was an indictment, charging the defendant with having assaulted John Abel Smith, on which indictment he had suffered judgment to go by default, and he was therefore, now brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. (The Learned Judge then proceeded to recapitulate at great length, the cir cumstances which had led to the assault, a.nd which have been already frequently fully reported.) As soon as it had been re ported to the defendant that the prosecutor had made use of the offensive term swindler, the defendant had written a letter, very properly framed for that purpose, requesting a retraea• which tion of the expression, or an investigation, Mr. letter had been forwarded to the prosecutor foS' Ravenshaw. The prosecutor, however, had refused to r e c i tract the offensive expression, or to give any explanation, aid had stated that the only investigation to which he would ems"' sent was a legal one, and Mr. Freshfield, the prosecutor's attor ney, had written to Mr. Ravenshaw, stating that the prosecu tor had used the expression in a moment of irritation, but that he would not retract it ; that he was willing to afford every fa cility for legal inquiry, and that if an action were brought against him, he would put in a plea of ju s tification. That course, how ever, had not been adopted, and the defendant had taken the first opportunity of puolicly horsewhipping Mr. Smith. The Court entirely acquitted th 3 defendant in sending Mr. Williams to the prosecutor of any design or intention to stir up the angry feelings of the prosecutor, but it could not but be regretted that the offer of the prosecutor to make the matter in dispute the sub ject of legal investigation had not been adopted. The defend ant said that the offer was a mere mockery, but the Court was not of that opinion, for although the use of the word swindler might not be actionable, which was very doubtful, yet the pro secutor might have beers required to reduce the expressions to writing, and the Court was of opinion that the letter of Air' Freshfield was in itself actionable. If that course had been adopted, all the facts would have been laid before a jury, who would have had the advantage of hear ing the viva voce evidence of the witnesses a s given on their examination and their cross-examina tion. Such a course of proceeding would be much more consistent with the interests of justice than the one which h ad been adopted, for no character had ever been vindicated by acts of violence. The language of the prosecutor, it must be admitted, had been most offensive, and such as he ought never to have used, and if it could have been shown that all explana• lion had been refused, the-Court would have considered that circumstance in passing sentence; but it seemed that the use of that language had been justified by the prosecutor, and volu minous affidavits had been put in on both sides, to the contents of which he would now allude. ( The Learned Judge then went at great length into the history of the pecuniary traneae - , tions of the defendant with the ho u se of Smith, Payne, wan' Smith, and of the circumstances attending the formation of Ow 1 artnership of Wells and M'Niel, the whole of which has ai reay appeared when the case was argued.) With regard to the' misappropriation of the trust fund of Mrs. Wells and her daughters, the Court was of opinion that the prisoner, in th e first instance, had been led int o this misappropriation of tha t fund from his blind confidence in others, and that lie Wa s guilty of negligence, and not dishonesty. He, however, had subsequently shown a degree of acquiescence i ° the acts of others, which might very fairly have been considered as operating on the prosecutor's mind !3 1 produce an unfavourable impression. In the year 1 81 the defendant had discovered that his partner Wells had beep guilty of several unjustifiable acts, more • particularly that he had been pledging the credit of the firm for his own private debts, in consequence of which the defendant had caused th partnership to be dissolved, and had attempted to carry on the business, impoverished as it had been by the abstraction of Oral funds. The business was insolvent, and the a tteril, t was hopeless. The Court, however, did not th ink that the defendant believed such to have be en the state of the business at that tithe ; on the co?: trary, they were of opinion that the defendant thoug a ' the business mi g ht b e restored, although they could not ar prove of the steps which had been adopted to support that bils,'; ness. The Learned J u d ge t h en wen t i nto a hi s t or y of the 13° ` transactions between th e d e f en d an t, Vi r t ue , an d ot h er s. P l° , ll ' although there might not h ave b een any d e lib era t e i n t en tion r' defraud Smith, Payne, and Smith, yet no one could be sa' prised that a person who had suffered so severely as the preset"' tor had, in consequence of these transactions, should have bee: l betrayed into the use of strong terms in expressing his fee,' ings. Looking carefully at the affidavits, although the proseenn was not justified in using the word swindler, or in imPati c ° deliberate fraud to the defendant, yet looking to all the eircup; sten ces of the case, it must be admitted that great allowan ces ought to be made for the use of expressions blameable in thtal,.: selves, but which had been uttered in haste and not ria'", berately. But nothing could excuse the defendant in hail; had recourse to personal violence, nor could the Court pas over such an offence lightly. It was necessary, by making If example, to protect the public against such breaches the peace, and to prevent persons who might consider themselves aggrieved from having recourse to personal vi e i : knee. A certificate of the state of the defendant's hea lth had been put in, which would have the effect of diminish* somewhat the length of time for which he would be soned. The sentence of the Court was, that for this his 0 fence he should be imprisoned in the Queen's Prison for three calendar months. Mr. M'Niel was then removed in custody of the offic er the Court. MANDAMUS—THE WILL FORGERIES. THE QUEEN V. TEE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. L. ,. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained, calling upon on Lord Mayor of London to show cause why a mandamus shoul d not issue calling upon him to deliver to Joshua Fletcher or to his attorney copies of the depositions taken against him, and upon which lie had been committed to the Giltspur- street ComOte e ,! for re-examination, on a charge of forging the will of Ann Slack' The AT TORNEY- GENERAL now showed cause against the rule, and contended that it was evident, from the wording °, the Act, that the copies of the depositions were to be furnished only after the person demanding them should have been com mitted for trial ; besides, it appeared from the affidavit of Itir' Goodman, the Lord Mayor's clerk, that the depositions were not actually in existence, inasmuch as they had n ot been ye t signed by the magistrate. Mr. V. RICHARDS followed on the same side. Mr. KELLY (with whom was Air. Ballantine) in suppo rt of the rule, contended that the wording of the Act made 7._ distinction between committals for trial and committals on r:7" .. mand, and that every person committed on a magistrate's " *. a , rant, had a right to copies of the depositions on which he vi detained in custody. Lord DENMAN said, that it appeared to him that in this case the rule ought to be discharged. It was evident fr om the preamble of the Act (the Prisoners' Counsel Act) that t i % intention of the Legislature was to furnish the prisoner wit copies of the depositions in order to enable his counsel to 0 % fend him at the trial. He had at first been inclined to ente r te some doubt from the wording of the section, which enacted t" - any prisoner committed to any lawful custody for any 011C ,, ° ,, c e e l ; might demand copies of th e d epos i t i ons on w hi c h h e bad t committed; bid in the present i ns t ance it did no t appear t the committal wa s f or any o ff ence —i t was f or t h e purposes h°ol further investi ga ti on , and therefore did not come within meaning of the words of th e A c t. Th e ru l e mus t therefore '''' discharged. The other Judges concurred. Lord DENMAN—In coming to this d ec i s i on we do net t ig ceed at all upon the want of signatures to the depositions. ae the duty of the Magistrates to s ign the d e p os iti on s at the th 7 they are taken, and every other proceeding as it goes on.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESFONDENT. ) INFERNAL MactuNE.—The good folks of this town have been most terribly frightened by the doings of some fellow, who richly deserves to be whipped at the cart's tail at the least. It appears that about twelve o'clock on Wednesday night as Mr. Henry Ward was returning home from his brother's, at Northwood House, in the road leading to his own house (Debourne Lodge), he saw something on fire on the pales which were between him and Mr. David's house. He struck it out, and on examination it proved to be a piece of leaden pipe, about seven incises long and three-quarters bore. One end turned down and closed, then charged with powder and three leaden balls. A hole was bored in the upper part of the barrel, and a piece of touch paper attached, which being on fire caused the discovery. It is supposed it would have burnt about ten minutes longer. That this machine could, after being so left, be expected to shoot any particular person is out of th e question. It was pointed in the direction of Mr. David's bed-room window, but at some distance from it. At all events, it was likely to greatly alarm the inmates. Mr. Davids is universally respected, and the affair has been magnified to a barrel of gunpowder, &c. The material, as twine, paper &c., was of a particular kind, only used in a particular branch of business, which led to a party being suspected, who had before acquired an unenviable notoriety for hoaxing the public, and the police have been busily employed night and day since this intended blaze off. The piece of lead pipe was quite new, and aids the police in their endeavours to detect the parties. The touch paper and even the wadding tell tales. The poor devil has not even acquired any credit for ingenuity. A schoolboy would have been ashamed of such a bun gling attempt on the life of a cock sparrow. Jan. 26.
