SECOND EDITION. altlt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1844 It has in all times been the fate of our " Reformed Anglican Church as by law Established" (for it is necessary to be very precise in her designation, in these days of petty polemics and small Tractarian criticism), to be vexed with some troublesome and ill-conditioned ministers, whose follies and imperti nences have wrought grievous scandals on her fair reputation as a holy peace-maker, inculcating the noble doctrine of " good-will among men." Faith- fully, and piously, and efficiently as she has been re presented by some of her mitred servants, by others her Christian humility has bean outraged, in their as sumption of a tone and deportment of arrogant world liness,— covetous of wealth, grasping at power, greedy of distinction, prone to indulge in pomp and display. insolent in the exercise of their own authority, obse quious and servile to that of higher places ; deferen tial to all above, overbearing to any below them. If she has had her Primates and Bishops, whose learn ing, and piety, and teaching have deservedly been ranked among the brightest ornaments of one age. she has also had her Bishops and Primates whose ambition and avarice ; whose turbulence and vanity ; whose efforts to raise her clergy, or that section of it at least which comprises her hierarchy, above the laity in civil as well as spiritual station, have proved the disgrace and affliction of another. Our Church has boasted its TILLOTSONS, but it has produced its LAUDS. If among its priests we can still honour the apostolic simplicity and almost Divine charity of BERNARD GILPIN,-a name which might shed lustre on the less peaceful glories associated with the reign of ELIZABETII,—We must be prepared to find many High Church and State SACIIEVERELLS, whose ob trusive and unconstitutional career may suffice almost to dim the renown that still attends the recollections of ANNE. The present principal vexa tion of this Church is, beyond all question, the pre sent Bishop of LONDON. lle really is not a much less monster grievance to ourselves. The Right Reverend Prelate will put himself in ugly dilemmas, in spite of all the frequent remonstances which former indiscretions have brought down upon him ; and we must, therefore, continue to discharge our duties of animadversion on his pertinacious wrong-headedness. Our readers cannot have forgotten the cases of Ware and Hoddesdon, to which we have from time to time called their attention ; the complaints of whole congregati ons against the Pusey . ite pantomime intro duced by th e i r ministersthe celebration of certain port i ons of the Chulutroch ice, under and the assumed sanction of obsolete ploded dire c ti ons comprised in long-fo:r -forgotten and corner s o f th e Rubric. They:will me: ber the respectful me mor i a l s a dd ressed to the Dioce san ; the petulant replies of that Right Reverend Father; the rude communications of the Episcopal secretary to the churchwardens; the defection, or rather desertion, of the flock which used to assemble in the parish church ; their subsequent meetings for prayer and worship in Dissenters' chapels and other places—from their just and natural resolution not to be present at ceremonials, their objections to which had been so haughtily overruled by the Bishop, and challenged by the contuma cious perseverance of the incumbents. It will be seen, from a perusal of the proceedings that have ately taken place in the parish of Tottenham, and which we record in another part of our paper, that the Bishop of LONDON is again encouraging his clergy in their resolution to annoy their fellow-parishioners, by the revival of another of the obselete and offen sive forms enjoined by the letter of the !Rubric ; namely, the offertory, or Sunday collection of alms in the church, from pew to pew, parishioner to pa rishioner. The treasurer of a handsome building fund which had been collected for the purpose of erecting one of the three churches of the Establishment in Tottenham, and several other of the most wealthy and influential inhabitants of the parish, members of the Establishment, addressed a very temperate but im pressive note to the minister of Trinity Church, against "certain material alterations in the course and order of the service as heretofore conducted," which the subscribing parties, instructed by the fearful results that had followed similar changes in other and neighbouring parishes, were of opinion " would be calculated materially to prevent that success in the preaching of the Gospel, as well as that good under standing between the minister and his people, so much to be desired ;"—they, therefore, " earnestly hoped that in consideration of such* opinion the order of the service might be allowed to remain unaltered." Now really if the diocesan of the Reverend Mr. TWINING had been a Pope, and of as boundless notions of pontifical infallibility and supremacy as an ADRIAN, or a Junius, or an ALEXANDER, instead of a sleek every-day Prelate, such as we are wont to imagine a CHARLES JAIIES, Bishop of London, to be ' • such a note as this could have given no offence, and would not have been misunderstood. But, in the first place, the incumbent, borrowing a little of the de haul en Gas tone (not, we willingly believe, the pre sumption) of his diocesan, is pleased to call this paper a " petition l" A " petition" from the gentry and landed proprietors of Tottenham to the minister of the parish church ! The Rev. Gentleman replied in effect, that he would not recede from the objectionable forms which he had introduced, after very grave deliberation, and not with out' previous self-communing " and prayer." This reply was addressed to Mr. MUSHET, the gen tleman whose name had appeared first among those subscribed to the representation forwarded to the Rev. Mr. TWINING. Mr. MUSUET'S rejoinder to the minister deserves our especial notice and thanks. It is as manly, rational, and dispassionate, and even pious an exposition of the whole merits of these Tractarian innovations on the customary celebration of Divine iervice in our Church, under colour of enforcing the letter of the rubrical directions which are now so convuls:.^q the peace of her flock, as could have been ..xpected fromthe most orthodox controversialist in truly something much better. holy orders. It : Is Of any meely polemi ca l Going far beyond the Li.‘ .46 'et struggle—it is a sound lay s - s 7rmon on the i n fi n it e superiority of the great essentials C'Christian doc trine to all purely ecclesiastical f o r ms o r vites, and the paramount and absorbing duty of teaching .‘ad upholding peace and unity, and reciprocal good-will between all the members of a flock, in preference to chat of vindicating or enforcing particular ceremonials, however high the human authority which may have prescribed them. Mr. MUSUET'S fellow-parishioners .vould do well to reprint and circulate his letter as An antidote " in all cases of incipient Puseyism." Well : our Right Rev. Father was next appealed to by a deputatian of the parishioners, and by the per tinacious minister; and his Lordship held, after throwing out a cunning, but vague and empty rebuke it Puseyism in the abstract, that the minister was justified in the (Tractarian) innovations complained if. Finally, a compromise was proposed, at the absurdity of which even the disciplined self-pot session of the imperious Bishop must hare chuckled A. previous proposition was agreed to—namely, that the offensive forms should be suspended for a year. Ile Bishop having consented, this arrangement, after 1, stormy meeting between the two Rev. Gentlemen, ,apostles of " the Rubric, the whole Rubric, and nothing but the Rubric," at Tottenham), and the sub icribing remonstrants, was formally announced to the parish. Now this is a pleasant dilemma—but a pitiful ~ x hibition, and a disastrous one too—for the Church Lnd its Tottenham fold. The remonstrants are wrong, or the incumbent is wrong ; he cannot be in ' the right if they are ; they cannot be in the right if he is. For a twelvemonth, therefore, if the forms night to be observed, the incumbent has consented to, knd the Bishop has sanctioned, their suspension. If they ought not, then the complaining parishioners lave voluntarily made themselves parties to the estab lishment of what they conscientiously believe to be .vrongful, a year hence. Is this the sort of logic which the Bishop of LONDON commits himself to P — ls :his the simple truthfulness which the Churchmen arofess themselves bound to vindicate ? Does CIIABLES JAMES claim a dispensing power to release for a season pis clergy from the binding force of what they de _dare to be obligations on their conscience, as if he lated from the Vatican, instead of the " Palace, Fulham," and signed " GREGORY XVL"i instead of C. J. London ?" This is ridiculous, painful, curious enough. But ,he history of the squabble displays the BLOMFIELD diosyncracy (one little compatible with even the •onventional, much less the personal dignity of the gelac . y), in a still more remarkable manner. In order to overawe or intimidate the contumacious mrishioners, he told the deputation, among other hings, " that he would not preach in any hurch in his diocese where the ceremonii - egarding the offertory was not adopted." [n vain this Bishop is told that with a :ompulsory poor-law, which was not in existence when the offertory form was devised, or was pre icribed in the Rubric, an offertory enforced, as it were, publicly in churches on Sunday, is incom ?atible;—that it is an absurdity to compel the ayment of poor-rates by law and " exact" vo luntary contributions (the contradiction is his Lordship's, not ours) by the argumentum ad verecun than: administered, at pew-doors, in the shape of b eg . _ _ _ _ _ ,ling-boxes. The Ri g ht Reverend Lord will have the offertory observed. If not, hear it and 'noun], churches of all his diocese, old or new, with free sittings or without them, CHARLES JAMES will lot preach in you. He will not confirm in you. He will not administer baptism in you. You shall never hear his mellifluous voice, nor gaze with reve• . - ential awe on his patriarchal demeanour ! That . he Bishop was a rash, headstrong, mischievous, Ind meddling servant of the Church whose interests he is driving to destruction (in our view), instead of up holding, we have long been clearly of opinion. That he was really susceptible of personal vanity in so in tense and dandyfied a degree we did not surmise. What possible detriment can he suppose it will prove to any of his churches never to hear him preach, who has done so much to disturb the doctrine of peace. Abuses, which are offensive to the feelings and opinions, and even hostile to the rights and liberties of the great bulk of a community, may, occasionally, maintain themselves for lengthened periods of time, against all calculation of the probability of their ex tinction, founded on their intolerable and vexatious character. Long prescription may give to them a species of sacredness in the eyes of some ; others may be deterred by a sickly dread of innovation, under any circumstances, from attempting their remedy or their removal. A still larger class will apathetically endure the very evils which they denounce, rather than put themselves forward in the business of achieving their own object, on the principle that that which is everybody's business Is not theirs." But after making every allowance for the influence of these unworthy considerations, in general cases, we cannot repress our astonishment that the Game-laws, on their present footing, should have been so long tolerated and administered in a free country like our own. Where institutions have been so long established, which distinctly ascertain and solemnly guarantee the inviolability of personal rights and property, in almost every other case, it is a social anomaly of the most e t i x o t n r o o r f d itnhae inr y o k s in t kind that haatainwsohloelnet, and codeo t f y c ra la n s n s o l u eg s isla na ture, should not merely be tolerated on our Statute book, but notoriously and daily administered, with THE STJI4,,,:LONDON, WEDNESDAY_EVENING,_NOVEMBER 20, 1844. Freneh advisers. The French CF,binet acts, through the medium of its ambassador, in favour of the Count DE TRAPANI, and against Don CARLOS'g. son. The amendment for the exclusion of that pretender and his family has been suggested for that purpose. The Neapolitan Envoy, Prince DE CARINI, scarcely quits the French Embassy or M. MARTINEZ DE La ROSA'S residence, and he is doing his utmost to procure the adoption of the amendment." The same journal contains a long article on the exertions of Russia to keep up her internal trade with China, from which we make the following extract : " Since the English forced the gate of the celestial empire, Russia has displayed a singular activity to fortify and increase its relations with China. There is besides at Kiachta, an entrepot at Zuruchaitu. Three great roads are actually employed in communicating between both countries. Two of these roads pass from Siberia by the plateau of Mongolia towdrds the Chinese fron tier; another strikes from Kiachta, and takes a south. east direction towards Pekin; and the other goes round by Nertschinck, Zuruchaitu, Tsitchar, and crossing the Black River before arriving at Pekin. A new commu nication which has been lately established• between Siberia and China, begins at Irtsich and moves by Baikal. This road answers directly the relations which Russia seeks to establish with China. " To give an idea of the development of Russian com merce in these eastern countries, we need only say that in 1829, the merchandise brought to the fair of Nijni Novogorod amounted only to 100,000,000 of francs, and in 1842 they exceeded 160,000,000 of francs. Russian cotton manufactures figure for 30,000,000 f., and the other goods consist of cloth made for the north of China; of velvet, silks, iron, steel, and copper works, glass, porce lain, soap, &a. " The increase of the fair of Nijni Novogorod is a re markable indication that Russia seeks to create a c )m -merce which she can maintain in defiance of European competition. It is in Asia she seeks for markets where she may command, until English competition meet her on that ground. That day, however, has not yet arrived, and Great Britain cannot now complain of the move ments of Russia in those countries where there is no true industry, and where her productions are but little known. The transit across Russia has become impossi ble, so much so that Prussia, that sent its cloths to China, has been obliged to give up the trade. In the far east are markets which Russia alone commands—where she finds neither competition from England, France, nor Belgium, and where everything is prepared for her own partiw4lar interest."

THE BANKING ALMANACK AND DIRECTORY, 1846 —This work, which is the first of the kind, will be found most useful for bankers and shareholders in general. In addition to the calendar, which by the way is printed in a beautiful form, it contains a list nnial law, of meetings of banks and many other public corn -tinder the month in which they are panies rangeu 1.5i0n returns, foreign ex held, bank-note circu.,... changes, a digest of banking any eouerc and a list of the joint•stock Waits of Elland and Wales, with their fixed issues Ott Battled by the new Act. We have also lists of the Scotch and Irish joint-stock banks, with the number of partners when that can be ascertained, the paid-up capital, the price of shares now, and the amount paid originally for each share. The rise which has taken place in the shares of some of the well•con ducted banks is enormous. The shares in the British Linen Company, for instance, which originally cost 1001., are now worth 2261., those of the Royal Bank have risen from 1001. to 186/., and in the Belfast North Banking Company the shares have risen 100 per cent. The Bank of Ireland exhibits the same prosperity. Besides ample banking and commercial intelligence, there is a great variety of miscellaneous information suited to every class.

A most daring burglary was committed on Thurs day night, in a shop at Bottisham, occupied by Mr. Car , ter of Swaffham. The burglars entered by breaking a hole through the back wall, and stole 201bs. of tea, a quantity of wearing apparel, and other goods to the value of 301. or 40/. Part of the latter was found by a labourer on Saturday, concealed in a haulm-stack. The murder ous intentions of the burglars were evident by two club sticks which they left on the premises. They left also a clue to their discovery: leaving behind in their haste a macintosh, which has been sponged.--Cantbridge Adver tiser. On the 12th tho s. o anish Chamber of Deputies re- newed the discussion on Lta Reform Bill, when RO3A who had h.;.?' I 11 AILTI NEZ DE LA interrupted on he previous day, repli e d t o S enor T EJAD A t.de fence of an .?bsolute monarchy. Aft e r d e f en di ng him self wad his colleagUes against the imputation of wishing to make the throne independent of the people, he said Constitutional government was the only form to which the country would submit, main tained that Spain was ripe for a representative system, and that it had hitherto failed solely from the ignor ance and weakness of the Executive. He added "that a vast abyss separated the Liberals who defended the constitutional throne and the partisans of the system supported by M. TEJADA ; that behind absolutism lurked revolution, and behind revolution absolutism ; and that the banner of the present Government exhi bited but the words " ISABELLA 11. and the consti tution of the State." There is in Spain but one legi timate representative of absolute government—he who disputed the throne with our QUEEN. M. Tx- JADA, unwillingly no doubt, has placed himself on a slippery declivity, on which is to be found despotism, and at the bottom Don CARLOS." Senor TEJADA replied, and several other Members were anxious to make speeches, but the Chamber thought they had heard quite enough, and declared the debate on the general question closed. The Bill, to use an English phrase, has thus been read a second time. Intelligence to the 13th has been received, announcing that the preamble of the Bill, as prepared by the Go vernment and sanctioned by the Committee, had been adopted by the Chamber. Accounts from Cadiz state that the disturbance which had taken place there had been caused by the journeymen tailors, who had struck for an advance of wages, and were marching in procession through the city when the authorities interfered. This simple af.Tair was magnified into a great conspiracy, the re sult of which has been the following savage order by the Commandant of the place •' Art. I. Every military man who, having been 'ex cited to treason, shall denounce the person who endea voured to seduce him, shall at once receive the sum of 640 reels as the price of his fidelity. " Art. 2. The officer who, in a similar case, will act in the same manner, shall have well merited of their eountry, and will obtain an honourable mention in their favour to the Government, which will be taken into con sideration for their advancement. " Art 3. The Council of War, the only tribunal con, potent to take cognizance of sedition, conspiracy, and revolt, will judge and condemn the criminals, whatever may be their rank or condition ; and the punishment of death, indicated in the most positive manner by article 26, part 8, title X., of the ordinances of the army, shall be applied without remission and promptly, not only with regard to the individuals who shall have tried to gain over partisans to the revolt, but also to those who, having had it in their power to denounce them, have failed to do so." On the 12th, the Three per Cents. were done at 271 for cash, and 27i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60 days; and the Floating Debt at 651 at 60 days. The Journal des: Debuts of Monday contains the following announcement respecting the loan :—" The companies that are to present themselves at the ' ad judication' of the 9th December appear to be finally formed. The firms of Paris have gathered, some round M. M. ROTHSCHILD, with all the receivers general, and the others round MM. iforriNoutst and DURAND. These two companies are thus composed of Frenchmen. We know not what trust there is in the report that a third company has been formed, which is mostly composed of Englishmen. But the two we have just mentioned suffice to give the Go vernment every desirable guarantee as to a serious competition taking place." Some of the papers have articles on the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN with Count TRAPANI. The Memorial Bordelais positively asserts that the mar riage between the QUEEN and the Count will take place next month at Valencia, and that the recog nition of ISABELLA by the Courts of Vienna and Rome will immediately follow. " It is affirmed, also," says that journal, "that the QUEEN'S sister is to marry the_ Duke DE MONTPEN SIER. In the event of the Count DE TRAPANI assum ing immediately the title of King, in pursuance of the conventions entered into between the Spanish Court and that of Naples, it is affirmed that he will take the name of LEWIS the Second, and not that of FRANCISCO DE PAULA." On the subject of the QUEEN'S marriage the Ma drid correspondent of the Coustitutionn e i makes the following communication :—" The question of the QUEEN'S marriage excites universal attention, and the Count DE TRAPANI is much talked of. All the efforts of the opposition will bear upon the article relative to the marriage. A sort of coalition has been formed between the Moderados of the Pacheco- Concha party, which has been joined by a rather large number of reforming members, and by the Absolutists of various shades, who acknowledge VILUALA, BRAVO, MvaiLto, and TEXADA, as their leaders. All concur in demanding the revival of the article of the Con stitution which gives the Cortes the power of deciding the question of the marriage of the QUEEN, and of her immediate successor. Some, who are partisans of the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, hope to secure in the Cortes more votes in his favour than the Count DE TRAPANI would obtain ; the others have similar hopes for the son of Don CARLOS, so great is the strength the reaction has acquired, thanks to the blunders or M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA and of his • all its frightful penalties—its utter recklessness of 1 1 the suffering and privation they inflict—and its dis gusting appreciation of brute natures over human na ture. Every week seems really to surpass its prede cessor in the co, itributions which it brings with it towards an appalling history of the oppressions per petrated under the authority of these game-lords' enactments, and the stupidity with which game-lords' magistrates, at county sessions, whenever there is a discretion to be exercised between decreeing a nominal or a severe fine, a brief or a longer term of imprison ment under them, doggedly enforce the heavier sen tence. In this way the Game-laws, and those who are charged with their administration, fill the gaols with exasperated prisoners, increase the county rates with I the expenses 'of the innumerable prosecutions they encourage by their wholesale commitments, and allow themselves to be made the blind instruments of fomenting that vindictive hatred for the owners of pro perty in general, of that which comprises game pre serves in particular, that is the deplorable but not un naturailesult of such treatment as offenders receive at their magisterial hands, if they have trespassed against the Game-laws. We have, of late, had too frequent and too recent occasion to advert to enormities perpetrated under their sanction, of a far graver kind, to offer any comment on a case which appeared in our paper of yesterday, as extracted from the Somerset County Gazette. Nevertheless, it is too characteristic and consistent not to be noted as an admirable illustration of the notions which Somer setshire MSDASES: gravely entertain of proportion, in estimating the amount of crime and awarding punish ment. At the Keynsham Petty Sessions a young ruffian was tried for hurling a stone at a female, which had so severely injured her that she was still under medical treatment, and not permitted to attend. For this brutal and dangerous assault, the fellow was fined ten whole shillings. For fear, we suppose, that this penalty should be construed into too eager a vin dication of the law, or too great a homage to the gal lantry of our sex, the same amount, for costs, (! !) was actually decreed against the proseeutrix ! It would seem to follow, as a logical conclusion of magisterial law at Keynsham, that a lady who is the victim of 'any savage vagabond's violence, is more guilty than the perpetrator of the outrage; for, whereas he is only fined ten shillings for the luxury of seriously injuring her by hurling a stone at her, she is ad judged, having been thus grievously hurt, and as the recipient, not the doer, of the wrong, to pay an equal penalty in fact, though nominally for costs; the sum of ten shillings being meant for the equation (we suppose) of her suffering, and his crime. At the same sessions, on the same day, another young man, for shooting " al" a covey of partridges (we should not have demurred to the sentence had it been for missing them, because, it would seem, he di.l not touch a feather of all the birds), was fined 101. Here, again, it follows that the enormity of even the endeavour—for it was not perfected—to assault a partridge is reckoned, at a money price of twenty times as much as, or 2,000 per cent. more than, an actual completed cruel assault on a young woman ! How long, in the name of common sense, of common spirit, and common justice, do the British public mean to allow successive Parliaments to separate without repealing these worse than Norman Forest Laws ! CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE MARQUIS OF HEITFORD V. LORD LowTur.R. The arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon exceptions to the _Master ' s report, occu pied the Court the whole day. VICE - CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with causes of no general interest. (Before Sir J. WIGRAM.) COOKE V. FRYER--JUDGMENT. This case, in which his Honour gave judgment this morning, came before the Court on further direc tions. The question at issue is the sufficiency of a settlement proposed to be made by the defendant on his wife, who was the daughter of Sir Gregory P. Turner. At the time of his daughter's marriage this gentleman was in a state of mental derangement. The treaty for the marriage between Mr. Fryer and Miss Turner was pending during the month of July 1838, when a petition was presented to the Lord Chancellor, pray ing for his sanction to the marriage, according to the Act 4th of George IV., c. 76, sec. 17. The petition stated the nature of the marriage settlement proposed to be made on the lady, and it was referred to the Master for consideration. He made his report ap proving of the marriage settlement, and the marriage took place by banns, at Southampton, in the month of August, 1838. Subsequently to the mar riage, Mr. Fryer wished to make an alteration in the settlement, by substituting another description of property as the trust, to that stated in the proposal of the petition to the Chancellor ; the alteration, how ever, making no difference in the actual value of it. The suit was instituted by one of the trustees on be half of Mrs. Fryer, to ascertain the suffi • ciency of the trust property proposed to be substituted. On the part of the defendant, it had been submitted that under the circumstances re ported to the Court, there had been substantially a performance of the articles required. On the part of Mrs. Fryer it was prayed that the Court would direct the settlement to be made according to the ori ginal articles. - His HoNoun. Eaid, if the Southampton articles of set tlement, differing as they did from the proposals carried into the Master's office for approval, had been less beneficial to the parties interested than those first proposals, considerable difficulty might perhaps have arisen in the admitting of the South ampton articles to be properly substituted for the orig4nal proposals. But a perfectly satisfactory ex planation had been given of the case, leading to the conclusion that the p ar ti es had acted with perfect bona fides, and that the property comprised in the articles, so far as it differed from that inen- Owlea in the firat proposals, had in truth repre sented the property which was the subject of the settlement before the Master. He was there fore satisfied that, as there was no difference of benefit in either settlement, he was doing the best for all parties, by accepting the Southampton articles, especially as Mr. Fryer had imported into those articles the personal estate, if any, to which the lady might be entitled, upon 4 fllesstinn of comparati ve benefit to the parties. Th e c i rcumstances of this case were so special, that he thought he might safely adopt the Southampton articles for the original proposal without a reference to the Master, and in so doing he apprehended it was not likely the vase would ever be drawn into a precedent. With respect to costs, it was impossible for him to say that the trustee was not justified in seeking the opinion of the Court in the vase, and lie was therefore of opinion that Mr. Cooke must have his costs, and that it be referred to the Master to approve of the settlement in conformity with the Southampton articles, Mr. Fryer consenting that the personal property, if any, to which the lady might be entitled hereafter should be included in that settlement. NERSOAI V. CLARKSON. His HONOUR also gave his decision':in this case, which was a re-hearing —a decree having been made in the cause in 1843. It was contended that a mis apprehension of the decision of the court had arisen in drawing up the decree, and that the defendents ought not to be alloss ed to stand creditors upon the estate in question for substantial improvements effected before the year 1821. His Honour was of opinion that the petitioners were entitled to have the decree altered, and counsel agreed to arrange the minutes of the new decree to be made in the case. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the Crown paper to-day, and was engaged the whole morning in listening to arguments in a case relating to the disputed settlement of a pauper. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) EX PARTE - Mr. HUMPUREY moved in this case for a certiorari to remove an indictment from the Central Criminal Court into the Court of Queen's Bench. It appeared from the affidavit that the present indictment arose out of a case which went down to trial at Kingston. It was then referred to arbitration, and was now going on before the arbitrators. The defendant in the action, however, indicted the plaintiff in the action, the attorney for the plaintiff, and all his wit nesses, for a conspiracy to bring an action against him. The attorney, in his affidavit, swore he had nothing whatever to do with the cause, except as an attorney. lie stated that he wished to have the case tried by a special jury, and to have the Solicitor- General as his counsel, who was also the counsel in the cause, and also that important questions of l aw were likely to arise.—The application was granted. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) Mr. Alexander, of the Oxford Circuit, having been appointed one of her Majesty's counsel learned in the law, was called upon by the Lord Chief Baron to take his seat within the bar. The Court then proceeded to take the special paper. BMITII V. MONTEITII. This was an action against the defendant on a pro mise to pay a sum of money on the discharge of a per son out of custody. The arrest was lawful and there was no allegation of fraud in any part of the plea. The substance of the plea was that there was not, at the time of the commencement of the action, any claim or demand or cause of action against Dunlop, the original defendant, in respect whereof the defen dants could or were entitled to recover in the said action. The plea also stated that the plaintiff did not by discharging Dunlop from custody give up every available remedy. The COURT were of opinion that the plea was not a sufficient answer, and that the plaintiff in the action was entitled to the judgment of the Court. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY. THOMSON V. SMALL. This was an action in trover in which the plaintiffs, Messrs. Thomson and Co., are wholesale tin and sheet-lead dealers, and the defendant is master of the ship Bucephalus. On the 20th July, 1843, the plaintiffs sold t o a person of the name of Galbraith goods to the amount of 3991. 4s .; these goods were to be shipped on board the Bucephalus, bound for Sidney, and to be paid for before the ship started from London. On the goods being shipped, the plaintiffs received a receipt from defendant. After that, having heard that Mr. Galbraith was insolvent, the plaintiffs demand the return of the goods. Subsequently they received from Galbraith a paper authorising them to remove the goods from the ship, and defendant was served with a notice signed by Galbraith, requiring him to give the goods up to plaintiff, which, however, he re • fused to do until the whole amount of the freight to Sidney should be paid. Accordingly he took the goods to Sidney. The defendant pleaded the lien for freight. To this it is demurred that the master or owners had no claim for freight, inasmuch as Galbraith had chartered the vessel for 1,6001., and possession of her had, by the charter party, passed for the time to him. Mr. Sergeant CrIANNELL, in support of the de murrer, contended that the instruction of the char terers to the master ought to have been imperative on him to return the goods, whose property in them had not determined - whilst they held in their posses sion the master's receipt for them as theirs, and in their name. Mr. Sergeant SMEA, against the demurrer, argued that when the captain was also owner (as in this case), the possession did not pass to the char terers, under any circumstances, and it had moreover been ruled, that, for the purpose of lien, the possession did not pass from the owner so long as their captain and crew remained on board. In such cases the charterers had only the temporary use of the ship, for the purpose of freight. Where the charterers stipulated to have the appointment of the master, it had been decided that they had com plete possession, and the owners had no lien. But, in the present instance, the owner remained in posses sion, continuing to command his ship, and it was part of the contract that he should find sailors, with food and wages. The Learned Sergeant submitted that this charter party was merely a contract for the freight of goods, and did not give such a possession as would constitute the charterers owners pro hac vice. It had been held, indeed, that where a bill had been taken for freight the lien would not attach until after the bill should have been due and dishonoured. In this case the contract was for payment in two months after the landing of the goods in Sidney ; and it was, upon that ground, assumed for the plaintiffs that lien did not attach, and that Galbraith had control and authority over the ship and cargo at the time when he ordered the captain to return the goods In question, But he (Mr. Sergeant Shea) contended that as far as the con, tract to pay at a certain time was similar to a bill or note, the contract was virtually like a dishonoured bill when the defendant set up his lien ; for the charterer had been arrested on a charge of felony, and had declared himself insolvent, The Learned Sergeant was proceeding to cite cases in favor of this view, when— Mr. Justice MAurx, observed—l suppose the last case is the one on which the police magiArate laid down that a coffee-house keeper had a right to detain his guest until the bill was paid ? Mr. Sergeant SHEA. said—No; the case his Lord- ship referred to was that of Dando, the oyster eater, which stood on its own authority.—(A laugh.) That was regarded as a case of " animus errandi et non revertendi."—(A laugh.) The Learned Sergeant having continued his argument to a great length, Mr. Sergeant CriANNELL replied. Their Lordships took time to consider judgment. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAms.) IN RE J. A. GILES, LL.D. The insolvent, a gentleman well known in the literary worll, and formerly head master of the London School, appeared this day before Sir C. Williams, on his final examination. He was opposed by Mr. Crew, for a builder named Mann, a creditor to the amount of 1,5001., and by a gentleman for another creditor. The examination lasted for above three hours, when Sir C. WiLuAms gave judgment. He thought the insolvent fully entitled to the benefit of the Act, for it did not appear to him (Sir C. Williams) that, at the period of contracting the debts, he was not in a condition to pay them. He was then in receipt of 1,0001. a year, as head master of the London School. His name was distinguished as a scholar, and therefore his literary exertions might be calculated upon as an additional security. He was afterwards from ill health obliged, it was true, to resign that situation, and his literary efforts did not meet the success he had contemplated. Still that was an error in judgment, and not of the heart. There was no appearance of fraud, however much he might be imprudent; and, therefore, again he said that the insolvent was entitled to the benefit of the Act. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The Court sat to-day for the purpose of disposing of the remaining case of felony, which stood over from yesterday. Thomas Cunningham, aged 17 years, and John Byrne, aged 14, were p l ace d at the bar upon an in dictment charging them with stealing a pocket hand kerchief, value 55., the property of Christopher Brown. It appeared by the evidence, which was very length ened, that the elder lad, who had all the appearance of a hardened thief, stole the article named in the indict ment from the prosecutor's pocket, and handed it to the younger prisoner, whom he induced to go with it to a well-known " fence," or receiver of stolen goods, where it was sold, and the elder lad kept the produce. The police and officers of the prison stated to the Bench that Cunningham was a notorious thief, and had been several times before convicted. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said he trusted what he was now about to say would become well known. It was idle to expect anything like a diminution of crime while that worst and most dangerous of all classes, the receivers of stolen goods, escaped with compara tive impunity. The transportation of some few: of them for fourteen years would do more good than the punishment of dozens of juvenile offenders, and most certainly, in all cases which came before him, he should inflict this punishment upon receivers when it was possible. He should, in the present instance, sentence Cunningham to ten years' transportation ; and, as Byrne was evidently his dupe, he should only sentence him to one month's imprisonment. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Smith, No. 5, Charles-street, Drury-lane, was charged with stealing a bedstead from the door of Mr. W. J. Hall, broker, No. 29, Great St. An drew-street, Seven-dials. , . The prisoner did not deny the offence. He had tried to get work and could not—he was almost starved to death and covered with rags, and he took the bedsteads with a double intent. The intent was to sell it and get food, if he got away with it clear, and if he was taken in the act he knew he should get a shelter in prison, and food, which he could not get outside. Mr. JARDINE said it was lamentable to see a man in such destitution and distress, but still his duty as a magistrate forced him to decide on committing him for trial. The prisoner left the bar apparently quite delighted at being committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Thomas Wright, a shabbily-dressed young man, was charged with feloniously assaulting Mrs. Mary Taylor, a respectable married woman, putting her in fear, and robbing her of an umbrella and shawl. The prosecutrix stated that she was residing with her husband and family, at No. 8, Queen-street, Soho square. Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, as she was passing along Sutton-street, Oxford street, she was accosted by the prisoner, who states that he was a gentleman's groom out of place, and in great distress. Out of charity she gave him the price of a pint of beer. He then joined another man, v% ho was waiting for him at a s h or t di s t ance. She (pro secutrix) walked on, but had not proceeded a dozen yards, when the prisoner came up behind her and attempted to snatch her umbrella out of her hand. She, however, firmly graspedit, although he struggled violently with her to wrest it from her. He then struck her a tremendous blow with his clenched fist, and knocked her down and took the umbrella from her. As she was attempting to get up, the prisoner forcibly tore her shawl off her shoulders, and set off running with it, on which she screamed " Murder" and " Stop thief!" Police-constable No. 94 of the F division stated that he saw the prisoner running, and, hearing the cries of the prosecutrix, he stopped and secured him. At a few yards from him, in the direction in which he had been running, he (witness) found the shawl which the prosecutrix had been robbed of. Mr. HARDWICK asked if the prisoner was known to the police ? The constable said he had frequently seen him in the company of known and convicted thieves. The prisoner asserted that prosecutrix had accosted him in the street ; and, while standinc , talking to her, he felt her h an d i n hi s pocket, and, "uf course, knocked her down." The worthy MAGISTRATE, of course, paid not the slightest attention to the defence, but committed the prisoner to Newgate, for trial. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas TVoodeoch, a well-dressed young man, was charged before Mr. Cottenham with robbing several houses under the following circumstances :-- A nights since he engaged a bed at a public house in the vicinity of this Court, and when the family retired to rest, he got up and groped his way into the room of a gentleman sleeping on the same floor. The gentleman being so fast asleep did not hear the noise, and the prisoner succeeded in taking a whole suit of clothes with which he got away, leaving an old pair of boots behind him. On another occasion he took lodgings for the night in the house of a poor widow, and as in the former case he got up in the middle of the night, went down stairs and robbed the parlours of a great variety of articles, amongst which were gowns, and other things, and then let himself out of the house. Two other charges of a similar description being adduced against the prisoner, he was committed. THE KING or THE FRENCIL—On Friday the King, attended by General Gourgaud, Colonel de Chabannes, the Count de Strada, and two orderly officers, went at three o'clock to Versailles, and remained there till six, when his Majesty returned to St. Cloud. On Saturday his Majesty took a long airing in the park of St. Cloud, and in the evening the company of the Theatre Franeais performed before the Royal Family the Ecole des Vied lards and Faute de s'entendre. " The King," says the Constitutionnel, " is expected in a few days to go to the Chateau de Bizy, and to return by Dreux. On the 25th there is to be another representation at St. Cloud, the performers in which will be the pupils of the Conserva toire do Musique. Afterwards the court will go to Fontainebleau, where the young Duchess d'Aumale will be received by her new family." FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Last night an in quest was taken before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hospital, on view of the body of W. Thomas Hollidge, aged twelve years, in the employment of Mr. Phillipps, farmer, Norwood, who was run over by a steam engire, the property of the London and Dover Railway Com pany. It appeared from the evidence, that abo u t half past six o'clock, a man named Wooker, a gardener, was walking along the side of the Croydon Railway, between the Jolly Sailor and Annerloy stations, when a steam engine, which was going slowly to London, passed him. Shortly after he found the deceased lying on the ground, between the up-rails. He was taken to his father's house, which was in the neighbourhood, when a surgeon was called in. Deceased was bleeding from his head and mouth. He was prescribed for by the medical gen tleman, and then placed in a railway carriage, and taken by an engine to the terminus at London-bridge, from whence ho was removed to Guy's Hospital. Deceased, it was stated, was going to Penge, to his work, and that he was in the habit of walking between the rails. The driver of a steam-engine (which had a white light in front) and which was going at a rate of from ten to twelve miles an hour, said he did not see deceased, nor was he aware of the accident until about eleven o'clock. Deceased had a very extensive fracture of the skull an d other injuries, Ho died the same evening. Verdict— " That the deceased died from a fracture of the skull, but how that was occasioned there was no evidence." OPENING OF THE GRESHAM CLUB HOUSE.--The neat building recently erected at the corner of St. Swithin's-lane and King William-street, City, known as the Gresham Club House, was opened last night for the accommodation of the members. The suite of rooms are fitted up in a most chaste style, the whole being well lighted, " Q. Concerning ministers, parishioners, &c. ? "A.
