AssurresT ENOINEER.—WiIIiam Lewin, Esq., Boston. SECRETARY.—B. Brough, Esq. STANDING COURSE:L.—W. H. Adams, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, Middle The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston is, unques tionably, of the greatest importance to the whole or the districts and towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous to the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the map of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about forty-eight miles from Nottingham, while all other sea-ports, on the east coast, are at a much greater distance from Nottingham. A very great traffic already exists between Boston and Nottingham, which may be increased almost to an incalculable amount when the facilities of railway transit are completed. The export trade from Boston is now comparatively limited, by the want of means of conveyance from the manufacturing districts, which this railroad will supply. Boston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom ; and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole dis trict, particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufacturing towns ; and the carriage of corn and cattle, to the great centres of popplation, will alone furnish a constant and certain source of revenue. In addition to this, a large traffic will be carried along the line, in manufactured goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottingham shire and Derbyshire coal fields, to rural districts through which it passes, and to the shore of the German Ocean ; the latter traffic is yet to be developed, and with the cheap transit provided by this line the important article of coal will compete at a great advantage to the consumer with the present supply, which is now brought by sea from Newcastle. _ _ A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting ham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the reighbonrhood, which is 6xported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive route to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals by ship or steamer, to its destination; whereas, on the completion of this line, it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the be fore-mentioned places, in much less time, and at a much less expense. Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but it is the natural seaport of the manufacturing towns of the whole of the Midland districts, and it is the most convenient, safest, and best situated on the Eastern coast, for the shipment and transhipment of merchandise. By recent improvements the river, or arm of the sea, which runs through the centre of the town, has been widened and deepened, thus affording means for vessels of from three to four hun dred tons burthen, to take in and discharge their cargoes at the wharf-side, without risk or damage, an object of importance not only in point of security to the goods, but aiso in the saving of expense usually incurred for lighter charge.. -The nature of the country through which the line will pass is most favourable in its facilities for construction : it is nearly on a dead level. The cost of construction will be as low as that of any line in the kingdom ; and the Company will not have to encounter the opposi tion of the owners of the land and estates through which the line will pass, they being, as far as can be ascertained, most favourably dis posed towards the undertaking. It will be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of a profitable railway ; it has a seaport town as one of the termini ; it passes through a rich and productive agricultural district, to the great seats of manufacture and consumption, each being a certain source of traffic ; and it affords ready communication with the Southern, Northern, and Midland Counties. It is intended to apply for power in the Act to allow 4 per cent. interest upon deposits, until the completion of the Line. Applications for Shares may be made on the subjoined form, ad dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the Office of the Company, 14, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, London ; or to the Solicitors. No person need apply tbr Shares unless the application is accom panied by an unexceptionable reference. A certain number of shares will be reserved for owners of land on the line, and for parties resident in the locality through which the line will pass. FORM OF APPLICATION'.

West-street, Finsbury-circus, June 19, 18-15. Szit,—ln your report of the trials before the Secondary of London yesterday, I see that your reporter has, by mistake, stated, one of the causes tried as " Holding v. Brooks," in stead of " Holman v. Bruce." I trust you will correct this in your paper of to-day. In other respects the report is sub stantially. correct. The Learned Secondary, however, made a remark in reference to the heavy expenses the plaintiff had been put to (50/. for the recovery of 9/. ), which your reporter has not noticed. The observation 1 allude to was, " that the defendant had no doubt adopted the course she had for the purpose of delay." Inasmuch as ca.': like the above, which I fear are some what numerous, demonstrate the mischief which the late Act for the abolishment of arrest in actions under 201., now under the consideration of the Legislature, and protested against by the trading community in general, ha.s, and continues to work ; I may, perhaps, be permitted to add a few words to your re port of the above case. The Act allude.{ to took away from the creditor one remedy which he had against his debtor, but gave him no equivalent. It continued to allow a fraudulent and litigiously disposed debtor under 201. all his former technical legal chances, left him in possession of all the means he before possessed, of delaying his creditor, and putting him to a series of heavy law charges. Take the ease you have reported as an example of the working of the Act. The defendant pleads to the action brought against her, and not only puts the plaintiff to the ex pense of proving every allegation in his declaration, but manu factured what is called a special plea, in addition, of abaut twenty folios, framed, however, in such a skilful way, that the plaintiff's attorney finds himself in a fix, unable to reply to it in the common form, b ecause he will no doubt be involved in f ormal difficulties if h e d oes, and have, probably, to pay the de fendant's colts, which he well knows the defendant's attorney is on the lost nut for. He is, therefore, driven to demur to the defendant's said plea. I n ot h er words, to be understood by sour non-professional readers, he is obliged to obtain, at a great expense, the decision of the court in which the action is brought, that the said plea is not sufficient in law. That is to say, even if true, it does not amount to an answer to the action. The result is seven or eight months' delay, which in the words of the Learned Secondary, could have been the only object of the defendant. But the final result to the plaintiff is, that he has, in addition to losing his debt, and suffering the above delay, to pay the expenses of defendant's conduct, who decamps with all her effects, and receives her pension as an @Ricer's widow somewhere in safety, unknown to the plaintiff, whe is left without a remedy. Is this fair pl a y, or even. handed nstiee ?

Munday was fixed by Sir J. GRAHAM for the Com mittees on the Irish Colleges Bill. The adjourned debate on the subject of New Zealand was then resumed by Mr. ELLICE, who urged the Go vernment to state distinctly what was the course they intended to pursue with regard to the Colony. He was decidedly opposed to any attempt to take it from the Company. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. CARD WELL, Mr. MANGLES, Mr. COLQUHOUN, Mr. SNEIL, Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord J. RUSSELL, and Sir R. PEEL, when the House divided, and the resolutions were nega tived by a majority of 51. The charge delivered by the Bishop of EXETER, at his triennial visitation on Monday last, to the clergy of his diocese, is one of the most characteristic it has ever baen our fortune to peruse. Whether because in his own cathedral the Right Reverend Prelate finds himself par ticularly "at home," or• that after exchanging the turmoils in which his public life is passed on the banks of the Thames, for the more calm and pastoral shores of the Exe, his militant spirit—invigorated by the change—becomes impatient of the quiescent atmo sphere by which it is surrounded, and re-assumes all its energies for new conflicts ; we must do this meek Churchman the bare justice of acknowledging that his "charge " smacks of the fierce, vituperative, impas sioned zeal of a very much younger polemical champion. The " charge" is distinguished by one feature of family resemblance to all the elaborate invectives of which this forbearing and forgiving prelate has been, at various times, the author, namely, its extravagant extent. It is in this property as remarkable as if it were the inaugural message of a Right Reverend President to a Congress ecclesiastical. But it is not the greeting of an ancient man, well stricken in years, and bending beneath the cares and honours of his station, but rather the manifesto of a leader still in the vigour of his purpose and the hey-day of his vaulting ambition. If this be the language of a dignified priest, it is that neither of the self-denying LATIMER nor the lowly FENELON. It is rather the war cry of some Pontiff, like Junius 11., shouting from the trenches against the enemy, whom he has invested but cannot vanquish. Of course, the general theme of this remarkable " charge" is a defence of those Puseyite in novations on the ceremonial of the Established Church, which have been nowhere more notorious, offensive, or contumaciously obstinate than in the diocese which rejoices in the Christian pastoral superintendence of HENRY of Exeter. His Lordship adverts to these scandals—not in terms of regret, but of exultation ; not with any view to palliate, but with the avowed intention to vindi cate them. And we must, ourselves, take heed how we designate the Puseyite rubric purisms as " innovations," for the worthy Bishop is furious and somewhat insolent in his denunciations of the ignorant presumption of those laymen who first of all commit a stupendous error, as he maintains, and then a sin of enormous presumption in demurring to the decrees of Mother-Church. Bishops, themselves, preach from texts, as do the humblest deacons ; and our Right Reverend Prelate adopted for his, the general purport of the discourse with which the Rev. Mr. BARTHOLOMEW opened the business of the day. That discourse was a stern denial of the rights of private judgment, and a strenuous main teaance of the Apostolic succession of the Hierarchy. The witty authors of the famous quiz on Bishop BURNET, entitled " Memoirs of P. P., Clerk of this Parish," never devised, as a vehicle for their waggery, a strain of more amusing simplicity than that is which the egotistical bishop thus recurs to the (Puseyite) squabble, about the obtrusive exhibitions of some of his clergy last winter. They were, says he, " incidents which had given to that diocese, and especially to that city, an unhappy notoriety—extended net only through out England but to the remotest regions of Christendom."' He then falls to that special pleading which we have already alluded to, as to the, solecism of any layman's calling a return to the ancient usages of the Church, as established and settled by the Rubric, " innovation ;" and he contends that the real innovation is not of above twenty years' standing, or so, during which the minis ters of the Church have been gradually departing from those ancient usages. It never occurs to the Right Rev. Prelate, wrapped up in the infallibility of his own hierarchical position (derived, not from the ca pricious accident of a royal conge d'elire, but, as he will have it, from the indefeasable authority of the Apostolic succession), that if the members of a Church, in the proportion of 99 to 1, prefer and sanction particular forms of celebration to which a succession of their own Ministers have accus tomed successive generations of their forefathers, and themselves down to the present day, they cannot be said to uphold an innovation in stedfastly insisting on the maintenance of those forms. When the Bishop of EXETER defends the Puseyite parsons by saying " they revert to the practice of the Church in its best days," vie may make him a present of the argument. It only follows that, with Bishop PHILLPOTT'B, the Church must have fallen on evil days. We should wonder if it had not, with such a servant. But when he talks' of the forms, that the 99 out of every 100 members of the Established Church persist in contending for, being but the practice of thirty years, we must say that Plum: POTTS the Bishop is about as intrepid in his assertions as PHILLPOTTB the pamphleteer. Can we say more ? The Bishop of EXETER is, as it were, savagely facetious on the inconsistency he attributes to such as quarrel with the use of the white surplice in the pulpit, whilst they tolerate it readily in the reading desk. Upon this head he exhibits all the pride of pedantry and grim sarcasm, such as that with which TORQUEMADA. might have rebuked KING FERDINAND on the portentous folly of mercy to a Moor. Then he comes to the offertory question, and on the plea that it is declared by contemporary authority that the collections shall be for the use of the poor " and other pious purposes," he attempts to overthrow the judg ments, ancient and modern, of our law Courts as to its illegality—as to its supersession, by reason 6f the sta tutable compulsory provision now made for the poor—as to its being an absolute offence against the law except in ....a tat Lica-UHL views announced on this and other subjects by his brother in GOD, the Bishop of WORCESTER. He is wroth at the lack-learning of the ccclekiastical Chancellor RAIKES, who has decided these and other points against his own Right Reverend infallibility. He rushes with the desperation of a drugged Malay in running a-muck" at no less distinguished a judge and profound lawyer than the present Lord High Chancellor of England, and tramples in the dust the miserable dictum of a Sir L. Powis, a judge in the reign of GEORGE 1., whom he especially denounces on account of his strong party prepossessions (! !) In speaking of the deportment of the whole laity of this country, on finding that the opinion of the tribunals of the kingdom corroborated their resistance to the revival of the more offensive of these exploded forms and services, the Bishop meekly declares that it was manifested "in a yell of clamour." He admits, even with contrition, that he has been guilty of one signal error—to wit, " the having given credit to the laity of our own times for such a measure of intelligence, if not of Church feeling, as would have protected them from falling into the gross delusions" they had given in to. The Bishop of EXETER deserves the thanks of every sincere and heat st member of th e Established Protestant Church. In this signal effusion of an angry and bigoted hierarch, against all who hold the detested docrine that the clergy are ministers "of" the Church instead of ministers "in" the Church—(we do not misquote his words)—and therefore, we presume, not accountable to any authorities ouT of the Church, not even to lay or public opinion ; in this effusion those who think lightly of the recent Puseyite tamperings with the Church service may learn to correct their error. In the effusion of the " odium prelaticum," pronounced by a bishop of the Anglican Reformed Church in 1645, they may detect significant hints of the extent to which the Diocesan of Exeter would push the plenary pretensions of his order, if he dared, which were proclaimed and enforced too, by Diocesans of London and Durham, about 300 years ago, when a MARY sate on the Throne of a VICTORIA, and the impertinence of lay argument was extinguished at the stake of ecclesiastical fires. HENRY of Exeter has been born nearly three centuries after his time ! * " Now were the eyes of all the parish upon these our weekly councils. In a short space the minister came among us. He spake concerning us and our councils to a multitude of other ministers at the 'Visitation ; and they spake thereof unto the ministers of London,. so that even the Bishops heard and marvelled thereat Lo ! thus did our counsels enter into the hearts of our generals and our lawgivers; and from henceforth, even as we devised, thus did they."—Miscellanies (Pope, Swift, &c.), 1719. Madrid papers of the 12th have been received, from which we learn that a number of arrests had been made at Malaga, in consequence of the late affray between the military and the inhabitants. Among others the editor of the Opinion Publica, a journal of that place, had been not only arrested but transported, without trial, to some distant part of Spain. It appears that the editors of the two Madrid journals, who had been subjected to the same treatment, are allowed to reside at Seville, and communicate with their friends. The Eco del Comercio announces the arrival at Madrid, from Paris, of specie to the amount of 48,000,000 rears (480,0001.), advanced by foreign capitalists, and deposited in the bank of San Fernando, for the purpo , e of supportit•g the public funds. The Gazett2 publishes returns of the foreign trade with Spain in 1843, from which it appears that the imports amounted to 4,234,2661., and the exports to 3,047,3501 The Customs duties produced only 858,9341. Queen CHRISTINA appears to be in in bad favour with the people of Barcelona, and, it is said, will soon return to Paris. The Funds cortinue to rise on the Madrid Bourse. The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash, and 33i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 22 for cash, and 23 at 60 days ; the Temporary Debt at 6i for cash, and the Debt without Interest at 71 at 60 days, with I prem. Most of the Paris papers advert to the discussion which took place in the House of Commons relative to the weak points of the Euglish coast, and comment chiefly on the speeches of Sir C. NAPIER and Lord PAL MERSTON. The National concurring in the statements male by the Noble Lord, says England is no longer isolated from the continent—she has frontiers, steam has made her a continental power, and calls upon France to take advantage of the circumstance and increase her naval power. The Ministerial G!oLe praises both the present and former Cabinets for what they have already done in that respect. After alluding to the statements made in the Commons it adds :—" The English compre hend the importance of the great works executed within the last few years in our seaports. In the sitting of June 13, Sir C. NAPIER called the attention of the House of Commons to the extension given to our steam navy, and to the works going on in our seaports, particularly Dun kirk. Whatever may be said by the Opposition, who, like the Jews in the time of ATHALIE, seem to have eyes in order not to see, the Government has not ceased since the Revolution of July to labour ac tively for the maritime advancement of France, by improving our harbours as much in a commercial as military poirt of view." The army estimates were still under discussion in the Chamber of Deputies, when General SUBERVIE complained of the constant changes made in the uniform of the troops, and more especially of abolishing certain emblems which France recog nised with pride. The Gallic cock, for instance, adopted after the Revolution of July, had been removed from the caps of the infantry—a crown had been substituted in its place, and it was said that the vacant space on the brass plate was to be filled up with a fleur delis. Marshal SOULT said the latter statement was entirely without foundation. With regard to the other points, he said the cap had been altered because it was too heavy, and as there was not sufficient room for the cock, the crown had been substituted, but the cock still re m:lined on the poles to which the colours were attached. Colonel ALLARD also disapproved of the change, for which no sufficient reason had been given, and M. Dr:Pnv justly remarked that these emblems, though trifling of themselves, had na tional recollections, with which it was dangerous to in terfere, and nothing could be more impolitic than chang ing the national uniform, which might be regarded as a bond of alliance—as a contract between the KING and the people. On the estimates fur Algeria being pro posed, M. LASTEYRIE spoke in strong terms against the system adopted for that colony, and found fault especially with the vast expense annually incurred. One hundred thousand men would soon be required to occupy the territory, and even that number would not be suffi cient. Marshal SounT vindicated the present policy, and stated that, according to the latest dispatches from the Governor, there would be no vestiges of the present disturbances.

WEST INDIES. The Royal Mail steam-ship Forth, Captain Chapman, arrived at Southampton last night, from the West Indies, with mails from Jamaica to the 25th of May, Hayti 27th, St. Thomas 31st, ani from the Windward Islands and Guiana from the 18th to the 30th of May inclusive. The crop- of sugar is nearly completed, and presents in all the colonies an average amount. in Jamaica nearly the whole of the crops were in, and exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the planters. The fine season was much in their favour, and there is no doubt that the amount will be over 60,000 tons. The prospect for the future, too, it appears, is good. The island was generally healthy, but when the packet left on the 24th ult., the heavy rains had just commenced. The Blundell, with 260 hill coolies, had arrived ; they were all in excellent health and spirits, and appeared to enjoy the change. Lord Elgin had taken a great interest in the matter, and had located them in large numbers, to give the system a fair trial. The whole of her Majesty's troops stationed in the island were in a healthy state. The Forth brings on freight 928 doubloons, 869 ounces of silver, 988 ounces of geld dust, 241 barrels of ginger, 631 b. of platina, 3004 worth of pearls, besides 43 packages of succeades, arrow-root, &c. COWES, JUNE 19.—Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite, arrived at Osborne, in the royal yacht this day. It being near high water, the royal party landed on the beach, in front of the house. About a hundred workmen have been em. ployed laying in foundations, &c., tin yesterday, when the work was stopped. It is expected it will remain so till after her Ma jesty's departure from the island. It is generally believed that the alterations that have been commenced are so extensive that it will take two years to complete them. The fleet at Portsmouth consists of eight sail of the line and two frigates, all which manned yards and saluted her Majesty as the yacht passed.—From our Cor respondent. _ THE QUEEN'S ACCESSION.—This day being the an niversary of her Majesty's accession to the throne in 1837, the Park and Tower guns were fired, and flags displayed from most of the churches and public buildings in the metropolis. Nothing could have been more to the farmers' wishes than the weather has been since our last. The appearance of everything in this neighbourhood has Improved very much, and the crops of hay and straw promise to be abundant. A little hay has been stacked in excellent order, but though mowing is now pretty general, haymaking is hardly so; and if the weather proves fine, (he stack.yards wilt be uell Sited again this ycar.

The Forth steamer has arrived very promptly, and before she was considered due. She brings late accounts from all the West India Islands, but is not the bearer of any Mexican mail. Except in Barbadoes, the weather had been very fa vourable for the crops, which in Jamaica would prove ex tremely luxuriant. Hill Coolies were beginning to arrive, and what with immigration and the expected introduction of British capital to carry out some of the projected railways, the colonists were kept quite on the qui vice, and in high spirits. From Hayti there is nothing new, but the West Indian papers contain a statement of Texas having refused annexation. The further proceedings in the case of the Bank of Man chester have attracted some attention, as although this ill fated and mis-managed concern is being wound up as well as could be expected, it still affords a striking illustration of the extent to which the best institutions may be perverted, and of the necessity of shareholders looking carefully, even though unsuepiciously, into the proceedings of their Directory. How so much capital could have been irrecoverably lust in the time, would appear a mystery to those who have not wit nessed many similar break-ups, and investigated the causes of them. The Funds are to-day rather firmer, and there is no incli nation to press sales. Consols have been 99 to 994; New Three-and• Quarter per Cents., 102% to %; and the Three per Cents. 99X.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the Lorin CDIEF BARON.) LIBEL.—TDONIAS WAKLEV, E6Q., N.P. V. HEALEY AND WETFICRS. Ills Lordship took his scat on the bench soon after nine o'clock. The jury having been sworn, Mr. BRANNELL opened the case, and said this was a complaint for a public libel. The defendants had not pleaded but suffered judgment to go by default. _ _ _ Mr. Jetty's, Q.C., said he appeared as Counsel for Mr. Wakley, who complained of a libel disgraceful and serious in its character. Mr. Wakley was Coroner for the county of Middlesex, a high and important office. He was also Member for the borough of Finsbury. It was unnecessary to allude to his politics, which were well known ; but it was well known that in this country po. litres were never allowed to Intrude into a court of justice. Mr. Wakley was also well known as the proprietor of the Lancet pub. lication. He was sorry to say that one of the defendants, Mr. Healey was a barrister, and Mr. \Vethers, the other, a surgeon. They were the proprietors of the Medical Times newspaper, a paper of considereble circulation. The libel was published in a letter which appeared in the Medical Times of the 25th of January last, and was printed in large type. The Learned Counsel then read the letter. It is of great length, and is headed, " A Proposal for Mr. Wakley's Trial by a Jury of Gentlemen ;" and, among other statements, charges him with ruining the London College of Medi cine, the British Medical Association, and the Medical Protection Association, by taking them under his protection. The following extract will give the reader some idea of the libel : " Three National Associations sunk helpless under his aid! Three hostile Colleges flourishing by his opposition! Himself con temned here, spurned there, suspected everywhere! Such is the terrible result of a whole life's ceaseless action ; such the awful shipwreck of a fortune steered by the helm infamy !— What a spell, mystic and divinely misguiding, in a ruined repute! Fate will not even have good by such an instrunzent !" The Learned Counsel continued—There were some parts of this letter as vulgar as they were unintelligible, but, on the whole, it was highly calculated to damage the character of any man. What he chiefly complained of was that the malignant charges made in the letter were of so general a nature that there was no such thing as answering them. If these were 500 charges, however grave they might have been, he would have engaged to reply to them, but no man could reply to those sweeping and general accusations, pointing to no one act, and mentioning no one fact. The letter raised suspicions of a thousand t.mes more heinous in their character than any direct change could set forth, and this was the reason this vague mode of writing was selected. if the letter was not sfictated by personal malice, it could only have been got up fur the still more selfish purpose of pushing a paper into circulation. He was instructed to say that Mr. Wakley felt more poignantly the course taken by the defendants. They did not even condescend to explain the charges they had made, so that even when damages were awarded the public would still say something remains hidden which has not been explained—there is a stain upon Mr. Wakley which has not been obliterated. Mr. Wakley, as much as any man, admitted the right of a public journalist to canvass his public conduct in the fullest manner, but tl.ere was not a single paragraph in this in famous letter which did not reflect upon his character as a man. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling on the jury to give such amount of damages as would mark their sense of the atrocity of the libel. Proofs, were then handed in of the ownership of the publication, whereupon Mr. Islealey one of the defendants (a barrister), said he rose under great disadvantages to reply to the accusations of the Learned Counsel. Ile could assure the jury that the letter referred to was written with no such motives as those which had been assigned. He disclaimed entirely any of those feelings of enmity towards Mr. Wakley which the Learned Counsel had attributed. He was in fluenced by no such feelings He thought the whole question was whether the letter affected Mr. Wakley in his public character or not ; for if it did they would return only nominal damages, as the custom of commenting on public characters, as such, was too well established and recognised as to admit of its being longer questioned or disputed. Had the letter one personal allusion had it a single remark on his private character—was it any way calculatedlto disturb his fireside, or in any way affect his domestic relations ? No such thing. Mr. Wakley was a public man—had rendered himself very prominent as such—and it was in this light, and this light only, the letter applied. The Learned Counsel went on to corn. ment on the paragraphs in the letter, and went on to say that nothing could be more injurious to the publication itself than to publish merely defamatory matter, for its readers comprised a jury who would, as Mr. Waklcy will knew, be the most ready to punish, by the Instant withdrawal of their countenance and support, any breach of social order, any merely malicious attack upon an individual. The Learned Counsel, who quoted a variety of instancess where great freedom had been used by editors of newspapers in their re iroatks upon public men, concluded by calling on the jury to respect the liberty of the press, put a liberal construction on the letter, and return . a farthing damages. The letter got into the paper by an accident, rather than anything else, and the object of the plaintiff was to ruin a rival publication. Mr. Wethers, the other defendant, then rose to reply, but eat down again without doing so. The CHIEF BARON said the publication was one which the plaintiff had a right to complain of. If the defendants stood upon their right as public journalists, they ►hould not have pleaded guilty, but as they had not done so, the only question for the jury was the amount of damages. The liberty of the press should, if exercised with freedom, be at least exercised with fair ness, but there was no right, on the part of the public press, to assail with wanton and malignant abuse, or from worse motives, any public men. By the Act respecting libel, passed in August, 1842, a defendant might, in mitigation of damages, offer an apology before the commencement of the action, or as soon after as he bad an 'opportunity. He might plead that it was inserted without malice, and that at the car:icst opportunity an apology was in serted, or that it was published from gross neglect. Again, the defendant might plead the truth of the libel, or he might pay a sum of money into Court, which the plaintiff might accept or not, and forego or persevere in the action, as he pleased. None of these courses had been pursued by the defend ants, who had suffered judgment to go by default. If this letter were not a libel it would be difficult to say what was. His Lord. ship then read the paragraphs of the letter seriatim, commenting upon each as he went along. The letter was written with a con. siderable share of a certain kind of ability, and the plain meaning of it was, Mr. Wakley Is a very bad character ; he damages every cause with which he is mixed up, and we call for inquiry; and these opinions enforced with phrases of considerable power. The jury would give damages commensurate with the injury done to his reputation, and to his wounded feelings, and none could so pro_ perly determine that amount as a jury. The conduct of the de fendants in the present case had not been to aggravate the libel, but they must award such damage as the circumstances of the case and the nature of the libel demanded. The damages ought to be fair and satisfactory, and of such a nature as to mark the just sense which they entertaiwed of the value of character. The jury retired, and after the lapse of two hours, returned into Court with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1501. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY, oLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and Mr. Baron PLATT.) SLAVE TRADE—THE AUGUSTA.—Captain Jennings, the com mander of the ship Augusta, which our readers will recollect it was alleged was fitted out by Mr. Zulueta, for the purpose of carrying on the slave trade, and for which he was tried and acquitted, sur rendered to take his trial for navigating the vessel for such an illegal purpose. The prisoner has been already tried upon the same charge in Sierra Leone, and acquitted. Upon the judges taking their seats the prisoner was placed at the bar. He is of rather short stature, and of rather gentlemanly appearance. Mr. Payne and Mr. Lush appeared as Counsel for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. D. Hill, Mr. V. Williams, and Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoner. Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for the prosecution, and called the following witnesses : Captain Hill examined by Mr. Lesir—He stated that he was now the Governor of the Gold Coast. In 1835 he commanded the ship Sarah on the coast of Africa. Had been on that coast from Sept., 11337, to June, 1841. He was tli ere for the protection of British cemmetce and the prevention of the slave trade. Was acquainted with the Gullinas. Had made a rough sketch of its situation himself. It was a river not navigable for large vessels such as the Gallupchick. During fhe time he was there he could disc cover no trade being carried on in the Gullinas but the slave trade. In 1841) they destroyed between six and seven slave esta blishments there by means of their squadron. He had never wit nessed the sale of slaves there, but there were baracoons and other things for the purpose of carrying on the slave trade. When the squadron landed and advanced on the slave establishments, the owners fled. Witness knew the name of Hobo at the Gullinas. He never saw him as a slave.dealer, but he was reputed to b, one. Saw Rolo at a place called Dumbocoro. There were I aracoone there, one very large one, and several large houses belonging te it. Had seen Dicer.es at Sierra Leone, but not at Gullinas. Had seen Alvarez at a small town near Gullinas. Never saw any baracoons there. Baracoons were large bnildings for keeping slaves in. They were generally near the coast, and slaves were kept in them till an opportunity was afforded of taking them away. In 1839 they captured a ves sel sailing under the Russian flag, called the Gallupchick ; at that time she was under the command of a person earned Bernares. Witness sent her to Sierra Leone to be prosecuted in the Mixed Commission Court, but that Court would not entertain the subject, in consequence of her sailing under the Russian flag. Bernares went with her to Sierra Leone. Witness then sent her to England. Captured the same vessel again near Gullinas, under the name of the Augusta. The prisoner was then in command of her, and she was sailing under English colours. Witness asked the prisoner for the vessel's papers, which he gave, when witness said he recognished the vessel as one that he had seized under another name ; to which he replied, he was:not aware of that. Witness told the prisoner the previous name of the vessel, but he did not recollect what ei , lwer he eelet. Wi!ne s q .t tl t . rv.4 „ s demanded to know to whom the ve,:el was consigned, te which the 1 prisoner replied, "Oh, I know better than to tell you that.''
