Mr. O'ComieLx. has sent forth another manifesto from Darrynane, which was read on Monday last at the Dublin Repeal Association. In this document he proposes to apply to Parliament for an impeach ment of those who were chiefly concerned in getting up the late State Prosecutions, and also to consider the expediency of addressing the English people, in order to obtain their assistance in compelling Parlia ment to institute such an impeachment. Another object which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ap pears to have not less warmly at heart, is the forma tion of a Preservative Society of three hundred— just the same number of patriots as fought and fell with LEONIDAS at Thermopylae ; though in what way this society is to work when formed, or what are the main points to which it is to direct its attention, Mr. O'CONNELL does not in form us, but leaves us as much in the dark on the subject as the Federalists have done, as regards their favourite, but undeveloped scheme for the regenera tion of Ireland. In this state of ignorance we san only form a guess at the nature of the public duties which it is intended that the Preservative Society should fulfil, and conclude that it is to act as a sort of Irish }louse of Lords, to keep within due bounds the patriotic fervour of the Association, which, without some such controlling power, might be attended with injurious consequences to the cause of Repeal. If this conclusion be a correct one, then we have not the slightest hesitation in saying that the Society in question will be a failure. It will never be able to maintain an in dependent position, notwithstanding its assumption of aristocratic superiority, and will be far more likely to take its tone from the more popular and vigorous Association, than to act as a wholesome check on its enthusiasm. Its attempts at moderation will be mistaken by the vast mass of the people for luke warmness in the cause of the Repeal, just as they have now set their faces against Federalism, because it is of a more temperate, qualified character than the original scheme for the restoration of the old domestic Parliament; and should it at any time venture on the bold step of coming into direct collision with the Association, from that moment it will degenerate into a mere nullity. Under any circumstances, the Preservative Society is never likely to be anything more than the m ere pass i ve i ns t rumen t o f M r. O'CoN NELL, S will. The independence will be simply nomi nal. As he created it, so will he destroy it, the mo ment he finds that this political Frankenstein of his own begetting has become his enemy instead of his tool. Yet we must co n f ess that the scheme of this Society is not without i ngenuity, for it will enable Mr. O'CONNELL to carry on the work of agitation through the medium of two assemblies in stead of one—first, as the leader of the aristocratic, and secondly as the leader of the democratic section of the Repealers, the former represented by the Preser- THE StTN, LONDON, TYIURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1844. vative Society, the latter by the Association. But I decidedly the most important part of the Darrynane manifesto is that wherein the writer adknowledges the failure of the Federal experiment, and announces his intention of agitating henceforth c^ - • • .r simple Ile , peal. " I seek fr:.: Ireland," he says, " the full benefit of the Repeal of the Union and the it storation of her domestic Parliament; I will never take less for that Parliament than that which it had before the Union—that is, final legislative and judicial authority in Ireland. In fine, fellow-countrymen, the pause of experiment is over ; let us rouse again for the peaceful contest—a contest not to be suspended until the Par liament is again in College-green with all its ancient authority and jurisdiction. Hurrah, then, for the Repeal!" Thus, it seems, Federalism is to be "thrown aside as a tattered garment"—to use Doctor Squint em's expression in FOOTE'S farce—and the agitation for full and unconditional Repeal is to be renewed with all its pristine vigour. We regret this, for the agitation is one that can do no earthly good, and by once again unsettling men's minds in Ireland, and filling them with hopes that can never be realised, may be the means of inflicting an immense amount of mischief on the community. Far better that, for a brief season at least, Mr. O'CONNELL should rest quietly on his oars—as we have recommended on more than one occasion—and await the announce ment of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S remedial measures for the sister country. If these be partial, inefficient, and too much leavened with Toryism, then it will be time enough for him to resume his agitation, which he will be able to do with more effect, inasmuch as be will have a far larger portion of the people both in England and Ireland with him than is now likely to be the case. But to agitate now is only to embarrass the Premier —or, if not to embarrass him, at any rate to furnish him with a plausible pretext for putting off his remedial schemes to some more tranquil period. We have always great reluctance in making com ments on the decisions of police magistrates, because they have difficult duties to perform, owing to the conflicting evidence brought before them, and the little knowledge they have generally of the character of the witnesses. In doubtful cases it perhaps is safest to side with the magistrate, and believe that he acted according to his sincere conviction. There are cases, however, when the public ought, and must judge for themselves ; and a case of this description occurred at Clerkenwell on Tuesday. It was one of an atrocious description, and nothing can equal it except the unaccountable leniency of Mr. COMBE, the sitting magistrate, to the offender. Two ladies had engaged a cab to take them to a dinner party, and after the vehicle had proceeded a few paces the door flew open, upon which the driver, taking advantage evidently of the helpless condition of the ladies, charged their servant with having damaged the door in shutting it, used towards them the vilest language, and the timid women, in order to escape from such a horrible position, jumped out of the cab, and tried to make the best of their way to their own house. The cabman, who, from all accounts, was drunk, pursued them, seized them by their bare necks, for it appears they were dressed for a party, shook them most violently, and they were only rescued from this perilous condition by the arrival of the husband of one of them, Mr. MEET YARD, a barrister-at-law. He naturally called upon the nearest police-constable, to whom he gave the driver in charge, and this con stable swore before the magistrate that the cabman was drunk. Mr. Comm very properly told this egregious offender that he had subjected himself to two fines of 51. each, or two months' imprisonment, with or without hard labour; but, from some strange hallucination, reduced these fines to twenty shillings, which, of course, were gladly paid, and the cabman walked triumphantly out of court. No reason what ever is given for this mitigation of punishment. The master of the cabman did not come forward, but a colleague, the yard-keeper, gave him a good character. What man tried at the Old Bailey has been without a friend of this kind ? The Judges, however, unlike Mr. COMBE, pay no attention to such evidence, or indeed any evidence as to character, when an outrageous crime has been committed ; they look at matters of fact, and juries almost uni versally concur with them. Here wag one of the grossest outrages committed upon two unprotected females, and the magistrate considered it sufficiently atoned for by a penalty of 205.! This is in direct opposition to public opinion ; and Mr. COMBE may rest assured that many upright decisions, and some more severity towards drunken cabmen, will be necessary to redeem his character as a magistrate. The watermen, by their savage conduct towards fe males, prevented all respectable women from taking boats on the river. They were ultimately reduced to beggary ; no respectable person would enter into a river-boat ; and if the other magistrates follow the example of Mr. COMBS, the cabmen will, in a short time, be subjected to the same condign punishment. But are the public, in the meantime, to suffer, and, while they pay at an enormous rate for police, to have no protection ? The Paris papers of Tuesday have been received, but at a very late hour, owing to the state of the weather. The Moniteur contains the following tele graphic dispatch : "BAYONNE, Nov. 11. "The Congress definitively voted its Address on the Bth. " The discussion on the project of reform was to commence on the 9th." The Presse, in noticing these dispatches, says, that after the failure of the amendment proposed by M. IsTuniTz, no doubt remains of the intentions of Con gress. The discussion about to take place is a mere form, and the Government plan may be considered as adopted. The Paris papers of Tuesday are exceedingly barren of interest. PARIS BOURSE, Nov. 12. . - The market fur rentes is well supported to-day, and that of railway shares is rather heavy. The Five per Cents. are held firmly at 1191. 65e. ; and the Threes at 82f. 85c. The market closed as follows: Three per Cents. for cash, 82f. 85c. ; for account, 82f. 85c. Five per Cents. for cash, 119 f. 50c. ; for ac count, 119 f. 65c. Bank of France Shares, 3,130 ; Nea politans, 98f. 75c. ; Spanish Threes, 36* ; Fives, 32i ; Paris and Orleans Railroad, I,ooBf. 75c. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,005 f. ; Rouen and Havre, 775 f. We have received the Madrid mail of the 6th. The discussion on the address continued in the Cortes. A commission was appointed to report on the project of law, already approved of by the senate, for giving to the Government the necessary autho rity to establish organic laws. The commission is composed of Messrs. LORENZE, BENAVIDES, ALCALA. GALIGANO, QUINTO, MORA, and NORCEDAL. No doubt now remains, that the amended article relative to the Sovereign's marriage, puts an end altogether to the hopes of the family of Don CARLOS. The Madrid Gazette of the 6th contains the con tract made with the Bank of FERDINAND, for the ad vance of money necessary to pay the December dividends. Madrid was perfectly quiet on the 6th.

POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, 1845 . —This' work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publica tion, and latterly it has been brought out on such a comprehensive, correct, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from the field. The editor, Mr. Kelly, in announcing this fact, at the same time assures the public that they shall not suffer—on the contrary, profit—by the monopoly ; for it is in creased as compared with the edition of 1844, by twenty-eight pages, containing more than 4,000 names, and these not confined to one list, but carried into the various classifications, all of which are proportionally extended. The Postal Directory, which has been compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruc tion as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world ; and the list of the principal places in England and Wales has been greatly en larged, for the purpose of facilitating the operations of the money-order office. The following are a few of the additional improvements in this edition. For the metropolis, there is a return of real property assessed to the property and income-tax for the year ending April 1843, with the population according to the last census, with the number of acres which this vast metropolis covers. These amount to 60,000, the population to 1,950,921,and the real property assessed to the property-tax, 12,779,1241. The population of eraacleilyward, pariah, and inn of court, is given sepa t is also a useful notice respecting the obli terating ti to ng stamps used at the P os t- o ffi ce , w ith a list t,' e which shows at o nce respective figures vs- ." 1 the place e refixed, ...,,s Ttliere the i letter is posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility of the country post office mark of the town. A third improvement is an interesting statistical account of the commerce of the i”etrepolis s 98 regards the empinyment et tt!e anon= hitants i the different trades carrigki on ih its 'list okteht. There is also a list ot bailers entitled to issue notes, with the average amount of the, link notes of such banker which were in circulation during the period of twelve weeks preceding the 27th of April last, according to the returns made by such banker in pursuance of an Act passed in the fourth and fifth years of the present reign. Besides these, there are several other improvements which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work so multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letter-press. It is accompanied by a map of London, formed from a recent survey. The other portions of this Directory we have on former occasions described, and it is needless to refer to it farther than by saying, that by taking the additional improvements into account, the late period to which the returns have been made, and the excellent arrangements, it is, per haps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. MORTALITY IN THIS METROPOLISo—The number of deaths during the week, ending Saturday, Nov. 9, was 989, showing an increase over the previous week of 23. Deaths from small-pox and scarlatina are still high, and there has been a considerable increase from pneumonia, and other diseases of the lungs. The deaths from small-pox are 42—average 17 ; scarlatina, 70—average 45 ; typhus, 32—average 29 ; pneumonia, 110, for the autumn months 107, and five years ave rage 79. The 42 deaths from small-pox occurred at the following ages :—Nine under one year ; ten 1-3; nine 3-5; ten 5-10; three 15-30; and one 32 years. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, six cases, of which one was by a fall, and three by the fall of hard bodies ; the remaining two by means not stated. Rupture, one case (probably by violence, but the na ture is not described). Wound, one case (by an animal). Drowning, eleven cases, of which one was suicide, and two accidental ; in the remaining eight it could not be ascertained, or juries have neglected to state, whether accidental or otherwise. Hanging, three cases (suicides). Suffocation in bed, three cases. Poison, three cases, of which one was suicide, one ac cidental, and one from criminal intention, but not with a view to commit suicide; and burn, one case. Total—eighteen males and eleven females.—The fall of rain has been unusually great, amounting to 1.82 inches. THIS DAY'S NEWS MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEW S Car, QUARTER TO THREE. There was an active business in cotton at Liverpool yesterday, sales 8,000 bales, and prices looking up. The sales comprised 2,000 Surat, and 300 American on speculation, with 2,500 Surat at 24d. to 34d. per lb. ; 450 Pernam at 54d. to 54d. ; 100 Maranham at 54d. ; 100 Egyptian at 6d. to 64d., and American at 34d. to 44d. per lb.—Shares were dull. Bristol and Gloucester, 344 ; Chester and Birkenhead, 314 ; Churnet Valley, 3 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow Quarters, 144 ; Grand Junc tion Eighths, 151 ; Kendal and Windermere, 3i ; London and Brighton Eighths, 21 ; North Union, 1394 ; Shef field and Manchester, 95i ; South-Eastern, New, 114 ; Paris and Lyons, 31. ls. 6d. ; Sambre and Meuse, 24. With respect to the Cotton market here and in Ame rica, the following remarks are contained in a paper re ceived this morning from New York :—" Notwithstand ing the droughts, freshets, &c., the additional extent of soil put under cultivation last spring, for this crop, is sufficient to off-set any very serious damages that may have been suffered in many sections. In many seasons past, speculations have from time to time increased the prices, and favourably influenced the average for the year, but we have, at present, no evidence that the slightest speculation will affect the yield from the new crop. The production has now reached a ,point which cannot be controlled. When the United States Bank was in the market as a speculator in the article, the crops were very small compared with those of the present day, and, of course, the quantity to control less. In 1835 the crop was only 1,361,000 bales; in 1836, 1,423,000 bales ; in 1837, 1,801,000 bales ; whereas the crops of recent years have been immense. In 1842 the yield was 2,379,000 bales, nearly double the quantity produced in 1835 ; in 1843 the yield was 2,025,000 bales ; but we should judge the crops of 1844 would not fall far short of 2,500,000 bales, and it is possible it may exceed that. We see by these returns the utter impossibility of monopolising or controlling a sufficient quantity to govern the market and advance prices. We have no banking institutions of capitals or credits suffi cient to come forward and control the crop. There is too great a distribution of capital to perfect any combi nation large enough to create much speculation. ' The packet-ship Independence sailed from Liverpool on the 22d September, arrived at New York 21st October. The packet-ship Prince Albert sailed from Ports mouth on the 22d September, and arrived at New York 19th October. We learn from Canada that the progress of the elec tions were most in favour of Sir Charles Metcalfe, and but little doubt was entertained that the Opposition party would be entirely defeated. The weather was ex tremely bad. The cargo of oranges in Eleanor and Fayal via South ampton, realised considerably higher prices than those of last season. The condition of the packages was not at all impaired by the train's-shipment from Southampton, which argues well for further operations by the same con veyance—expedition being of the first importance to articles of a perishable character like fruit. The announcement received from the French capital this morning that the firm of Messrs. Rothschild, Brothers, were the principal bidders for the first series of the loan, for about 8,000,000 L, had rather a beneficial affluence upon the market for our own secureties, as it had,.in fact, on French Stock on the 13ourse is Paris. The Commissioners bought Reduced Three per Cents. at 991 ; and New Three•and-a-Quarter per Cents. at two per cent. above par. Consols for the Account have been steady this morning at 100 f. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been heavy at 58s. to 60s. There is not any fresh quotation for Bank Stock. There is a good deal of activity in the Foreign market this morning, as the settlement will take place to-mor row. The variations in the prices however have been slight. Danish Stock is at 891 ; Mexican at 351 1 ; Russian at 119 ; Spanish at 24* *; the Three per Cents. at 35k i ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 62f. . _ _ business has been very slack in the Railway Shares this morning at our quoted prices.

STEWART. c beforeEt o t u b e g C a v e e u j r u t d e g e t e n a e e judgment m to e - d s i a n y e e i n u t p h o i n s case, which Loan e a e tn l e AN -'Pal from the decision of the Vice -Chan l . in ce lor of Eng- Vird -- an : The .- --, the case was, whether troy citroiw _ cer taitt iettefs that Mil passed between the _ parties and their agents were cl Were net priirileged communications. The *ice-Chancellor decided that they were ; and from that decision the parties appealed to that bunch of the Court. It appeared that the defendant brought an ac.. tion against the plaintiff upon a policy of insurance on a ship called the Sherborne, bound to Calcutta. The defence set up to that action was that the ship was not sea-worthy. Certain letters passed between the parties relative to the evidence to be adduced at the trial, and a bill was filed for the purpose of compelling the defendant to produce them. On the case coming before the Vice• Chancellor of England, he refused to order their production ; and his Lordship agreeing in the propriety of that decision, dismissed the appeal with costs. ST. VICTOR V. DF.VEREUX. The Court then proceeded to hear the further argu ments in this part-heard motion, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls, discharging an order he had formerly made, permitting the plaintiff to sue in forma pauperis. The case occupied the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir JAL RIWCE.) GRIFFITIIS V. wALTON. Mr. MARTIN, in this case, moved, on the part of the plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from making and selling articles of metal, such as tea-pots, coffee-pots, saucepans, &c., &c., manufactured according to certain processes for which the plaintiff had a patent. An application had previously been made to the Court in the month of October last, on similar grounds, and an order was issued, enjoining the defendant to cease from making these articles from the 14th of November. It was in consequence of a breach of this order since that date, that the motion for the present injunction was made. The plaintiff's patent was taken out in 1834 ; it was for an improvement in the method of manufacturing articles of the description above-mentioned, the process being generally applicable to all articles of tin, copper, and plated ware. The specification of the patent was perfectly valid, and was a docu ment of considerable length, setting forth the various processes used ) in the manufacture. From the time the patent was taken out, in 1884, to the present time, the plaintiffs continued to exercise their skill and right under it. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to de scribe, at some length, the details of the different pro cesses, which were explained by various specimens of the finished articles, and the dies, moulds, and machinery used in making them. These were produced in Cola% and submitted to the inspection of his Honour. The Learned Gentleman stated that the plaintiff and defendant were engaged in the same trade, one residing at Birming ham, the other at Wolverhampton; and that the defendant had frequently purchased the patented articles. of the plaintiff, and supplied them to his (defendant's) cus tomers, and furnished them to his ageats and travellers as specimens. Having further pointed out the identity of the articles now made by the defendant with those manufactured by the plaintiff, he concluded by pressing for an injunction to restrain the defendant from such manufacture. Mr. RUSSELL appeared for the defendant, and pleaded want of novelty in the invention, and want of infringe ment of the patent on the part of his client. (The case was not concluded when we went to press.) QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) DOE DEM ANGELL V. ANGELL. This was the celebrated ejectment case, on the deci sion of which the right to the great Angell estates de pends. It was tried about twelve months since on the F oon Circuit, and a verdict was returned for the lessee of the plaintiff. A rule nisi had subsequently been ob tained for a new trial, and the arguments on that rule were continued this morning. These arguments, which were of a purely technical character, will not, in all pro bability, be concluded to-day. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS PAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE MARQUIS OF DOTE V. THOMPSON. In this case the Court gave judgment for the plaintiff on the 6th of July, when Mr. Baron Alderson stated that in the course of the present term he would give the reasons of his decision. Mr. HIGGINS, as counsel for the plaintiff, applied to the Court this morning to fix a convenient day for that purpose, alleging. as the ground of the application, that ulterior proceedings were contemplated. The Court would take the matter into consideration. ward, and that the Latona was wrong in attempting to run across her. SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY and a Common, RENDALE V. WEITE.—IMPORTANT TO PARTIES RMS.' ING ACTIONS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a tailor, against the defendant, to recover the costs in curred in an action for debt which he had brought against the defendant. In October, 1842, the defendant's father died, and the plaintiff supplied him with a suit of mourning, in order that he might appear at the funeral, and pay re spect to his father's memory. The defendant paid only a portion of the bill, leaving a balance of 3!. 95., for the re covery of which a writ was issued on the 20th, and served on the 22d of January last, and on the same evening the defendant's solicitor paid 3/. 9s. to the plaintiff, whogave a receipt in full for the debt, at the same time stating that he would see his solicitor and arrange the matter with him. The action was, therefore, for the costs incurred. Mr. CHARNOCK, who appeared for the defendant, con tended that he was not liable for the costs, and cited several cases from the books in support of his view of the case. The UNDZR-SHERRIFF having summed up the evi dence, the jury after a considerable deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) A very considerable number of cases were put down this day for hearing, but none of them contained any feature of public interest. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Robert Hatt, l who keeps a coffee-shop in Drury-lane, was brought up in custody, charged with violently assaulting William Smith. The complainant, who appeared in Court with a frightful cut on his eye, stated that the defendant came to the Craven Head, Drury-lane, last night, and called witness out, and immediately commenced beating him, whereby his face had been so severely injured. The defendant, in a highly excited state, said, in his defence, that the complainant had, for some time past, been endeavouring to seduce his (defendant's) daughter. Hearing of the attempts, he went to the Craven Head last night, where he heard the defendant was, and accused him with his dishonourable conduct. The com plainant admitted that he had attempted to seduce the young woman, and said he would yet succeed in doing so. Upon this he (defendant) knocked him down. Mr. JARDINE said he could sympathise with a father's feelings under such circumstances, but still persons must not be allowed to take the law into their own hands. He must, therefore, fine the defendant 31, or, in default of payment, commit him for three weeks. ',Uhe defendant 14118 locked up. -STREET. MARLBOROUGIi (THIS DAY.) An Italian boy was placed at the bar on the I.l'. ll " r ing charge : A clerk to Mr. Garrard, of Suffolk-street, Pall-mall solicitor, stated that about half-past four o'clock yester-, day afternoon, the defendant came opposite to Mr. Gar rard's door with an organ, and commenced playing. Mr. Garrard feeling this to be much annoy once and in terruption to him in his business, desired the defendant to go away, but he refused, and ,continued playing for upwards of ten minutes. He was then given into charge of the police. Mr. HAnDwrcx said that no doubt but the street music was, in many cases, a very great nuisance, and the defendant should at least have moved on when he was desired. He should, therefore, fine him five shillings, or five days' imprisonment and hard labour. The defendant said he had no money, and begged hard to be forgiven. Mr. HARDWICK was, however, inexorable, and the boy, was accordingly sent to prison. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Nov. 14.— There was a slight fall of rain this morning between 8 and 9 A.M.

This was an action for illegal arrest and forcible entry. It was one of several cases arising out of certain family differences, with the particulars of which the public must be by this time quite sufficiently familiar. The trial took place in this Court before the Lord Chief Justice at the sittings of the last term, when the verdict was for the plaintiff, with damages 501. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD obtained a rule to arrest judgment. This day Mr. Newton, in person, showed cause against that rule, and addressed the Court at great length, observing, amongst other matters, that it had been asserted to his injury by the other side, that he was in destitute circumstances, whereas the fact was, that in two months of the last vacation his fees amounted to 404 The COURT decided to enlarge the rule for one week, to wait the issue of other proceedings pending in the Queen's Bench. WILKINSON V. LORD LICHFIELD. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 1,2004, the defence being that the noble defendant had not made the bill, and had not endorsed it. The verdict was for the plaintiff, Mr. Sergeant MANNING, for the defendant, subsequently obtained a conditional rule for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, the Hon. Col. An son, brother of the defendant, and other persons, amongst whom were Mr. Stevens, his Lordship's secretary, when Postmaster-General, and also the Inspector of Franks— all well acquainted with Lord Lichfield's handwriting— having sworn that they did not believe the signature in the indorsement to be his. The Learned Sergeant, at that time, further urged that the plaintiff had not shown in what manner the bill came into possession ; whereas, if his case were a good one, he could have called Mrs. Margaret Edmonds, from whom it was alleged to have been received. . Mr. Sergeant SHEA this day showed cause against the rule. With respect to the handwriting of the defendant, he contended that the evidence of the cashier to Messrs. Stevenson and Salt, who had been his Lord ship's bankers for thirty years, ought to outweigh the evidence offered to support the charge o f f orgery . Th a t witness held a place of high responsibility, in which it was part of his most important duties to m a ke himself acquainted as well as possible with Lord Lichfield's handwriting. As to the cal ling of M rs . Ed mon d s , h e contended that it was not incumbent on the plaintiff to call her. On the contrary, she would be rather a wit ness for the defence if the other side relied on their own ease. That lady, as it appeared from some remarkable proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy, kept a house of play in St. James's-place ; and from the nature of other transactions, it was not very improbable to suppose that a nobleman of great wealth had frequented it. Mr. Justice MA.ULE—It did not appear that Lord Lichfield was possessed of great wealth. Mr. Sergeant SHEA—lie kept a large establishment in the most expensive part of the metropolis. Mr. Justice Matrix—That is sometimes done without great wealth. Mr. Sergeant SHEA submitted that there seemed no improbability in supposing that his Lordship might have made and endorsed the bill in Mrs. Edmonds's house, under cireumstsaices which would account for his forgetting afterwards that he had done so. Nor was it at all extra ordinary that the plaintiff should, without hesitation, receive and discount the bill in question, endorsed by a nobleman holding so high a pest under her Majesty's Government as that of Postmaster-General. Ile trusted their Lordships would discharge the rule. Mr. Sergeant MANNING replied briefly, and The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court were of opinion that the plaintiff bad not put to the jury all the evidence which he ought to have given, and that it would be well to give the case a rehearing, upon the usual condition, the payment by the defendant of the costs of the previous trial and of this application.—Rule accord ingly made absolute. ADMIRALTY COURT—(THIS DAY) Dr. Lushington presided in this Court today for the hearing of cases of salvage and collision. The Masters of the Trinity House sat upon the bench with .the Learned Doctor, for the purpose of deciding upon the nautical technicalities and manoeuvres. COLLISION.—THE LATONAt This was a suit brought by Thomas itichardson, the masier and owner of the brig Latonfl„ of Newcastle, 152 ions burden, against the owners a west country vessel, called the Anne, to recor'er compensation for damage sustained by his yeast's, In con sequence of a collision with the Anne, which was alleged to have been caused by the unskilful and unsesmanlike conduct of the master and crew of that vessel. It appeared from the affidavits which were read on both fades, that on the 19th of March, 1844, the Latona was proceeding in ballast to Newcastle, and when about five miles off the coast of Suffolk, the wind at the time being north eastward, she perceived the Anne approach approach ing her nearly upon the same tack. The man at the helm of the Latona tried to put her about, but failing in this, and seeing they could not cross the Anne—botb vessels going at Ch ord rate of about four hour--the crew was ered to let all nlis a the collision might be lessened. This v- • captain alleged that his vessel rv.' ...a done, and the the two vessels struck ear' / 2,ack, that ti On the part of ti- _...1 other. that, at the #' -' 4 " ( "Mrs ot the Anne, it was urged Latonn ...me the eollision took place, the sails of the little aint way d wtar si whenewell et 10l were fitiLl ; that the Anne, oti sae__. ,t,' '6lll '6IIIQI .essel bearing upon her, put her 'helm up, to run off from theme rmuch hsw her.i l n e d s , s an bT d u rh t h teh a e t AI the buten:La than wasatot : a _fie westg Latona,t h v e e c s r oa y uamnnetd r , y vessel, of known that there was a strong feeling of rivalry between the Newcastle masters and those of the west country, and it was alleged that the collision arose solely from the captain of the Latona trying to outvie the Anne in manoeuvering. Dr. L USHINGTON, having recapitulated the evidence to the Trinity Masters, said it was solely a question for them to decide, as it was one entirely of seamanship. The Trinity Masters, after a short consultation, de cided that the Anne was right in keeping to the wind- THE _ _P TO OF LONDON AND s1:3: R. FEEL. h The Globe of last evebngas discovered that some premier and the Bishop difference exists between the of London, on the subject of e division of St. George's, Hanover-square, into distinct and separate n parishes, and has seized the opportunity for eflecti on the character of the Bishop of the diocese. The Globe alleges that the Right Rev. Prelate is anxious to appoint his son-in-law, the Rev. Henry Brown, to the rectory of St. George's, vacant by the death of the Very Rev. Dr. Hodgson, the Dean of Carlisle, and that the Bishop was indignant that Sir Robert Peel insisted on the creation of some smaller parishes, whereby the ecclesiastical offices of the parish might be more efficiently administered. To this, the ex- Ministerial paper alleges the Bishop objected, as he was anxious that his son-in-law should not be de prived of any of the emoluments. The statement thus put forth is a gross falsehood. So far from any ob- jection on the part of the Bishop existing to the formation of smaller parishes, he was the first to suggest the improvement ; and declared long since that if the rectory should become vacant during the time of his episcopacy he would carry out the ar rangement, For this purpose his Lordship proposed the erection of St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, and recommended to the Metropolitan Fund Commit tee the propriety of making a grant for that object. A liberal vote of money was made, and the Bishop himself contributed to the fund from his own private purse. But the best proof of the Globe's menda city will be seen from the fact, that within the last few days a new parish has been created, embracing Pimlico, Knightsbridge, and all the outwards of St. George's. Of this parish the Rev. J. Fuller, and the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett will be the joint rectors. The Bishop has expressed his anxious desire to erect an other parish, and it will doubtless be effected before any appointment to the rectory is made. That Mr. Brown will have the appointment is tolerably certain, and that will be the case whatever may be the opi nions either of the Globe or Sir Robert Peel.—Post. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—This morning between nine and ten o'clock, Wm. Parry, one of the workmen em „l6-:'d at the new Houses of Parliament, was brought into w o ,,:_minster Hospital in a dreadfully injured state, from having, at his employment, fallen from off a scaffold about thin; feet from the ground. The unfor tnnate man was found have sustained a fracture of the right arm and dislocation 0; several of his ribs. He is considered to be in a very precark2us state. confidence, A PRACTICAL JOKE.--AMena totoldus a few evenings ago, and, though it was told us iL we cannot resist the temptation of laying it be re our readers, let the consequence be what it may:-.-4, I n :he western part of this city live and flourish two jolly young fellows, who follow sign-painting for a livelihood, and who are sometimes in the habit of cutting up what are termed ' high shines.' It so occurred, a few days ago, that one of the partners had some out-door busi ness to attend to, and left the shop in charge of his partner and a little boy, who was employed to grind paints. During his absence, the partner remaining went to work and painted the boy's neck so as to represent a large gash, and a cut over the eye. He then took red paint, bespattered it over the floor, and clotted the boy's hair, and made him lie down in a corner. He then painted a great gash in his own cheek, bared his bosom, disordered his dress, dipped a long-bladed knife in the red paint-pot, and patiently awaited the coming of his partner. Directly he heard him at the door the per formance commenced. The partner stuck his head into the room door; one glance was sufficient; the boy pros trated on the floor, with his throat cut, groaning and crying Murder ;' chairs, tables, benches, jugs, and paint-pots, were strewn around the floor in dire confu sion while the murderous partner, with the bloody looking knife in his uplifted hand, was running through the room, uttering wild and incoherent expressions. It was evident to the partner at the door that his partner had killed the boy. The thought was horrid; swift as lightning he flew to his father and informed him of the ch zumstance. A number of friends were mustered, who repaired _forthwith to the scene of action. The crowd augmented as neared the shop, and in walked the whole posse; but whai was their astonishment to find the boy without a mark 0: any ldnd, the room in per fect order, no mark of blood peru :ntible, and the partner engaged in lettering a sign, and ate: ignorance of any d the transaction of the kind avowed both b; him more boy, to the other partner's great mortificat:."an ~ especially as the persons he brought there hinted tti one another that during his absence he might have indulge.:' too freely in fire-water.—St. John's paper. COLLECTION OF CHARTS AT LLOYD'S.—A complete set of marine charts, published by the marine department of France, have, by the command of his Majesty Louis Philippe, been forwarded to Lloyd's, and which, with those presented to Lloyd's by his Majesty the King of Prussia, the East India House, &c., will be arranged, in a room provided for the purpose at the new Royal Ex change, open to the inspection of all connected or inte rested in the navigation of the seas, and will form the most complete collection in the world.

THE LATE AcciDENT AT DEREY.d—On Sunday" last the remains of five of the sufferers who met a me lancholy death by the late accident in Derby, were in terred at St. Peter's Church, in this town ; George Ban croft, one of the sufferers, being interred the day previous. Although it poured down with rain there was a larg e assemblage of spectators to witness the sad ceremony; indeed, St. Peter's-street and London-road were filled with persons, and the police had great difficulty in keeping them at a proper distance from the funeral pro cession. So great was the interest excited, that the body of the church was crowded during the whole of the afternoon service, the funeral taking place imme diately i b fterwards. The bodies of Thomas Walker and George Walkeibrothers) were attended to the grave by upwards of 200 members of the Ancient Order of Foresters ; the former pern being a highly respected =;.2 member of Court Loxley, No. 1,700. The funeral ser vice was read in a very impressive manner by the Rev. W. Fisher. The two Walkers were interred in one gram; Charles Bagguley and Joseph Wardle in an other ; Drown and Bancroft in separate graves. It having been anileunced that the Rev. W. Fisher would preach to the friend." and relatives of the deceased in the evening, there sva: a very large congregation at St. Peter's Church. The servi,:e was very appropriate to the sad occasion.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitt eptnton. " Who runs may read." Z.AINT AND POLICZ. In the Common Pleas an action was brought by M 7 a 8 Such, the daughter of a builder residing in Foundling terrace, Gray's Inn-road, against the defendant, Samuel' Cobham, jun., carrying on business as an oilman, in Bow lane, Cheapside, for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant admitted that he had made the promise and broken it, but put a plea upon the record to the effect that after he made the promise the plaintiff became a dis reputable woman. She had borne a child to the defen dant. The jury, after a short consultation, returned for the plaintiff, Damages 1001. Edward Taylor, cab-driver, was fined at the Mansion house los. and 3s. costs, for " crawling " in Fleet-street and the nesghbourhood. He refused to pay the fine, and preferred seven days' imprisonment ; but on the Lord Mayor telling him that it could not be less than a month, the 13s. were paid. At Clerkenwell James Kent was charged with having assaulted police constable Newman, C 2, and Harris, 50 E. It appeared that on Tuesday morning, at about on o'clock, L tie prisoner and others sallied forth from a beer shop in High-street, St. Giles's, made use of foul lan guage, and on th: interference of the police, they were resisted and dreadfully maltreated. Both officers were left on the ground insensible, but other officers secured the prisoner. Newman and Harris were so much injured that they required medical aid, and were excused from duty. Mr. Combe sentenced him to one month's impri sonment for the assault on Newman, aid Harris might have a warrant for the assault upon him, to be heard et the expiration of the month. Baron Moritz Vander Pforte appeared again before Mr. Hardwick at Marlborough-street, to clear himself from the charge of having obtained from Mons. Deneu lain 21. by means of a fraudulent cheque. Two German witnesses stated that the Baron belonged to one of the first families in Saxony, and that his character for ho nesty had never been impeached. The Baron said he could easily prove at this moment he was in possession of three estates ; two in Saxony and one in Prussia. The Prussian estate he had sold, but he had not re ceived the whole of the proceeds yet. Mr. Hardwick con sidered that as far as the question of respectability was concerned, the Baron had satisfactorily established his claim to be considered the person whom he represented himself to he, and dismissed the charge.

It is stated that there will be a new Philharmonic So ciety next season, and that it will embody among its members men of rank, position, and talent, who have hitherto kept aloof from joining similar institutions. The new society, it is said, is to hold its concerts at the Italian Opera House, and the following names are al ready spoken of as a portion of the new society : Cramer, Mendelsshon, Benedict, Costa, Sivori, Thal berg, Leopold de Meyer, Berlioz, Auber, Balfe, Stern dale Bennett, Macfarren, Smart, and C. Horsley. A Government agent has recently been at Yarmouth inspecting various localities for a lunatic asylum for both officers and privates in the army. It is said that the Royal Naval Hospital has been selected for that pur pose, and that ere long sixty or seventy will be imnateit of that fine building. At a committee of the Dreadnought Seaman's Hospi tal Society, held on Friday last, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Monsieur Augu, editor of the Cherbourg Journal, for his zealous advocacy of the prin ciples of this universal charity. The inhabitants of Cherbourg extol in high terms the British philanthropic institution, founded and directed by naval officers and merchants of the City of London, and would cordially hail the establishment of similar asylums for " the sick wounded seamen of all nations," at the great mercantile ports of Havre, Bordeaux, and Marseilles. The Manchester Guardian cautions the public against the designs of a woman who calls herself Mrs. Burn, or Bourne, and who has been levying contributions in va rious parts of the neighbourhood, under the pretext of collecting subscriptions for a forthcoming work of a re -I,',:ious character, which she alleges to have been written 1 1. 7. daughter, and from which she professes to show extracts.

The doorways, which have hitherto been plain, leading into the gardens, will be ornamented with stone mouldings, and, in short, the whole of tke building will be rescued from its dingy state. Upwards of 350 retired veterans from her Majesty's land forces assembled on Tuesday, at Woolwich, for the• purpose of being enrolled and formed into companies. Colonel Tulloch, the chief officer of the corps of pen sioners, Captain Forbes, inspecting staff officer, and the surgeon, attended to examine and finally pass the men, and they appeared a very efficient body, many of the? most respectably dressed in plain clothes and wearing their medals, having been present at the battle of Waterloo. A soldier in the Regimental Hospital in Westminster sent ,to the Rev. Mr. Smith, belonging to the Horse ferry-road chapel, requesting him to call and give him spiritual consolation. Mr. Smith lost no. time in complying with the sick man's request, but on making application at the gate he was refused admission. The Reverend Gentleman forthwith wrote to the Duke of Wellington on the subject. The Noble Duke, to his credit be it spoken, answered Mr. Smith's letter, and informed him that he had given instructions for his admission ; and further, that he should send e. circular to all Regimental Hospitals to admit clergymen of all persuasions, when the sick requested their aid.

Egyptian Hall, Mansion House, calling meeting at the ui,;on them to give their co-operation, in conjunction with the clergy and influential inhabitants of the parish, to the eatabbsb ment of a bath and washhouse for the labouring' elites ° in that locality. Mr. Douglas regretted that the Yes% had no power to appropriate the parochial funds to An a purpose. The only way in which they could aid so pellent and benevolent an object would be, to form then' sei ; - es into a Committee, subscribe themselves, and en' deavou: to raise subscriptions throughout the parish to carry the plan into effect. Mr. APGill said, the plan. had, it appearet... worked admirably in Liverpool atA other great provineial towns, and in a poor and populone l parish like that, no doubt but great benefit would roult; in such an establishmen: to t he labourin g classes.
