GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, , Waterloo - place , Pall-mall, and 2, CharZotte-row, Mansion house, London. This Company, established by Act of Pa r li amen t, a ff or d s the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only requires, when an I nsurance i s for the whole period of life, one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the pay ment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted ab death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar rangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Com panies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 241. 16s. 341 for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil dren at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d , being the amount of premium un paid. This Company 'bolds out, in various other respects, great inducements to the public: When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a for tune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family. RATES OF PREMIUM. Age. Without Profits. With Profits. 25 . £1 18 5 30 40 50 00 Annuities are granted on very liberal terms. PIONORART PRESIDENTS. Earl of Errol Lord Viscount Eastnor, M.P.

Pr 18s. P Gen. Esta Wished in 1829,ice under the s anction of many eminen Chemists, by whom it was analysed, and declared to be a more pure and wholesome spirit than the finest French Brandies. THE NEW WATERPROOF CLOTHING. BERDOE, TAILOR, 69, CORNHILL, • was the first who publicly introduced an invaluable dis covery for rendering WATER PROOF every description of WOOLLEN CLOTH, WITHOUT IMPEDING the FREE ESCAPE of PERSPIRATION, an objection so justly urged against the unsightly and unhealthy Mackintosh. W. 8., after long and extensive practical experience in connection with the subject, and having fully ascertained the relative merits of the various systems now before the public, can confidently vouch for the superior and perfect efficiency •f the British Water-proofing Company's process, 432, West Strand. Specimens may be seen at 69, CORNHILL, where also may be obained, at a trifling extra charge, Waterproof Pilot Coats, Great and Frock Coats, all kinds of Cloaks, Capes, Trousers, &c., made to order of any material that may be selected. THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES of PLATE CAUTION. It having been represented to RIPPON and BURTON that several persons are vending a spurious metal as their NICKEL SILVER BRITISH PLATE, they assure the Public that the Genuine Article can only be had at the Warehouses, 12, Wells street, Oxford-street. The Nickel Silver British Plate manufac tured by Rippon and Burton, is, by a chemical process, rendered superior to any other so called, in appearance and durability; it is equal to silver ; all the articles being solid and of wrought material, they improve with use, and are warranted to stand the test of that strong acid aquafortis.

The friends of the Liberal cause (of our numerous Buckinghamshire readers in particular) will be delighted at learning that Lord CARRINGTON is to be the new Lord Lieutenant of the county of Buckingham. 'We think this one of the very best appointments Lord MELBOURNE'S Administration has made. The representation of Buckinghamshire will, we are glad to learn, be contested by a Liberal ; and though the new Duke of BUCKINGHAM'S nominee will, we are afraid, be successful, he will not be allowed to walk over the course, or take his seat, without incur ring considerable expense. We are glad to see that the old and never swerving champion of Corn-law abolition, Colonel TORRENS, has again come forward to aid the cause he has so long and ably served, by publishing three letters to the Marquis of CHANDOS on the effects of the Corn-laws. The Gallant Officer undertakes to demonstrate that the Noble Marquis, in supporting the existing Corn laws, is the enemy of the whole agricultural interest, including labourer, farmer, and proprietor, and he succeeds to the full extent of his undertaking. We cordially recommend his pamphlet to the perusal of the classes for whose instruction it is especially in- 1 - 4 0NDON COFFEE, and EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION. A GENERAL MEETING of the LONDON COFFEE and EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS will be held at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, on MONDAY, January 21, at Seven o'clock in the evening precisely. The Trade is likewise informed that a MEETING will be held on the same evening, at Half-past Eight, at the same place, to take into consideration the propriety of Petitioning both houses of Par liament for the REPEAL of the CORN LAWS.

The remaining seventeen Joint-stock Banks in Scotland are in the same flourishing condition, and such, indeed, has been the pro gress of t: e system that of the many private Banks formerly carrying on business in Edinburgh only one exists at present. There are only three Joint Stock Banks in London, with a paid up capital of 1,000,000/., the Shares of all of which are at a high Premium. It is the intention of the Directors to allow interest on deposit accounts, under proper rules and regulations, which, with other details as to the transaction of business with the Bank, will be hereafter announced. As a sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the Directors to commence business immediately, they have resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arhe in other undertakings from an unrestricted application for shares, and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide proprietors, will not entertain any application unless made in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accom panied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Di rectors reserving to themselves at the time of appropriation the right to reject or comply with such application either in whole or in part; the money to be returned without deduction, if the appli. cation be rejected, and if accepted to be placed to the credit of the party in respect to the shares allotted to him. It is not in contemplation to call up more than 10/. per share for the next two years.

The publication of T HE SUN NEASPAPRR commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, IS3 tended. We cannot at present quote any of the illus trations of the statements made by this enlightened economist, but we shall enforce his views by an illus tratio❑ of our own. Since we have heard such a clamour made by the agriculturists and their advocates about the abolition of the protecting duties entailing ruin on them and on their labourers, we have cast about for some similar alteration made of late in our trade, and that made in the duties on silk, in 1826, occurred to us. Most of our readers will remember the dire clamour which Spitalfields, Macclesfield, and Coventry got up on that occasion, and how dreadful was the ruin which they predicted would overwhelm these hives of human industry, and silk weaving. Now, what has been the result ? We will allow Mr. M'CuLLoclr to answer for us. In the " Commercial Dictionary," article Silk, we find the following passages. The first is valuable now, as a record of Mr.- HUSKISSON'S opinion of the effects of protecting duties on industry, and as stating shortly the history of the alteration :—. Mr. Htbkisson moved on the ath of March, 1824, that the prohibition of foreign silks should cease on the sth July, 1826, and that they should then be admitted for importation on payment of a duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem. On this occasion Mr. H. observed—The monopoly had producid what monopoly was always sure to produce, an indifference with re gard to improvement. That useful zeal which gives life to industry, which fosters ingenuity, and which in manufactures occasions unceasing efforts to produce the article in the most economical form, had been comparatively extinguished. To the prohibitive system it was to be ascribed that in silk only, in the whole range of manufactares, we were left behind our neighbours. We have here a proof of that chilling and benumbing effect which is sure to be produced when no genius is called into action, and when we are rendered indifferent to exertion by the indolent security derived from restrictive regulations. I have not the slightest doubt, that if the same system had been continued with respect to the cotton manufacture, it wouid have been at this moment as subordinate in amount to the woollen as it is junior in its introduction into the country. Now comes a statement of Mr. M'CuLLocx's lords to make head against the storm which has at length been so justly and universally roused against their monopoly. The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re ceived. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday terminated in a vote for the rejection of M. AMILHAU'S Ministerial amendment, substituting the present tense for the future in the paragraph of the Address, which states that France shall always hold the high rank which belongs to her in the fears and friendships of nations. The votes were, for the amendment, and consequently in favour of Minis ters, 210 ; against it, 219—giving, for the first time, an absolute majority of nine votes to the Opposition. The close of the debate on Wed nesday was enlivened by two clever speeches, the first delivered by M. BERRYER, an Ultra-Royalist, and one of the ablest advocates of Monarchi cal principles in the Chamber ; and the other by M. THIERS, denouncing the sacrifice by Count MOLE and his colleagues, of the English alliance. Limited as is our space, and slight as is the interest created in England by the political views of the French Carlist faction, we are inclined to think - that the following extract from M. BERRYER'S speech, which fairly turned the scale against Ministers, will be read with much attention : The revolution of July was a terrible event, not merely a commotion or a change of dynasty, but the overthrow of an entire political system. Immense was its echo in Europe, where the heart of nations vibrated at the sound. Poland first began to stir, and rouse its recollections, its hopes, its soldiers, at the signal of France. Poland was then called the vanguard of France. Where is Poland now ? She is fallen. In Spain a question of disputed succession was raised by the antagonists of the Salle law, who looked for support to France. Messengers and special envoys were sent to Madrid to promise this support. How has it been given, and where are those promises ? Spain remains a prey to civil war, which your Government declares itself unable to put an end to. Look at Belgium, about to be abandoned too, and to loco all guarantee of independence. There appeared to be two policies in the Government of the country; one for the necessities of the Representative Government at home—the other for necessi ties abroad. The expedition to Ancona was intended, accor ding to M. Mole, to produce a moral effect. No doubt it was, but this r fleet was to be produced upon the French, not upon the Italians, or upon foreign Powers. It was intended to dazzle the French with a sample of hardihood which really, as was afterwards proved, led to nothing, and meant nothing. On every point around the map of France—north, south, east, and west—he could perceive nothing but alliances destroyed or weakened, and guarantees trampled under foot. In Italy, in Belgitnr, in Switzerland, in Spain, in England—on every point—France was isolated. —( Violent murmurs from the Centre.) His arm should wither before he would deposit a ball in that urn—(pointing to the ballotting urn)—in testimony that a Ministry which had thus misgoverned France had been the faithful guardian of her alliances, and jealous of her interests and her honour.—( Tremendous cheering, which was echoed even from the public galleries.) M. BERRYER, next addressing himself to M. THrERs, observed that he at least had the merit of being consistent in the advocacy of his revolutionary policy—a merit for which he, M. BERRYER, honoured and respected him, and would cordially support him as often as he recommended measures useful to France. Ironical cheers from the Centre, at this new proposal for a more extended coalition, followed this announce ment ; but the Left took no notice of them. The President of the Council followed M. BERRYER, but, to the amazement of the Centre, he could hardly obtain a hearing. To make matters worse he lost his temper, and completely failed in answering M. BERRYER. After M. ODILLON BARROT, M. GUIZOT, and the Mini stir of Justice, had severally exchanged some trif ling recriminations, M. THIERS closed the debate with the following observations respecting the causes of the visibly growing coolness between France and England : He would ask the Ministry what it had done with the Eng lish alliance ? He would not say that nations were only to ally with those nations which enjoyed similar institutions, but be would say, that when Powers leagued together on abso lutist principles, it was necessary for free States to form a counter-league. And for this reason he had from the first clung to the English alliance. But an alliance was not to be bad for nothing—without sacrifice—without effort. When he, M. Thiers, left the Government, England and France were marching together in the affairs of Europe. France had embarked England in the Spanish question, which was more French than English ; and after England had been drawn into the difficulties and embarrassments of the ques. tion, France withdrew, and left England to extricate herself alone, and as best she might. He would not say this was owing to treachery, but to a spirit of timidity and hesitation. And the consequences soon became apparent. The friend ship of England cooled, the chain which bound the two countries became silently broken, and the combined system of policy was dissolved. England and France had made common protests and efforts for Polish, German, and Italian liberties. For Spain they had done more when France drew back with a fatal negative, England had, of course, given its negative in turn. All that bad been under taken in commcn had been so more for French interests than English —yet France was the first to draw back. The fruits of this were now reaping in Belgium. Count Mole said England had different interests from France in Belgium. True, but she had the same difference of interests four years ago, and yet England supported France in the affair of Antwerp. In return for all that England had done for the French Government, France had merely created embarrass ments—Parliamentary embarrassments for the English Govern ment. England had been obliged to look elsewhere for allies, and sign treaties at Vienna to replace the hollow ones of the Qua druple Alliance. If England has become selfish, it is French policy that has made her so. A different line of conduct would have preserved England as before—powerful, faithful, and an ally. On Thursday the Ministers moved the rejection of the paragraph upon which they had the day before failed to carry an amendment. In this they suceeded after a brief debate, the numbers being, in favouriof the Ministerial motion 220, against it 213. Thus Ministers are precisely where they were on Tuesday ; but as the resignation of Count MOLE, when the Address is carried, is no longer doubtful, the majority of a few votes on one side or the other is regarded with indifference. We should also observe that Count MOLE endeavoured to prove that the bonds of affection be tween England and France were not loosened. The following extract includes al; that there is else of any interest in Thursday's papers : The Coninterce says—" A journal stated this morning that M. Sebastiani was to affix his signature yesterday to the defi. nitive resolutions of the Conference, and that they would be immediately notified to the Belgian Government. What that journal intimated as intended to be done, was stated on 'Change to-day to have been done already. It was affirmed that a tele graphic dispatch from Calais announced that Count Sebastiani, being pressed by Lord Palmerston, had signed the conclusum, which decides the territorial question against Belgium." Our readers know that we have always said that the Eng. lish Cabinet would not appear before the Parliament without announcing facts already accomplished relative to Belgium, and the language of Count Mole in the Chamber gave no rea son to expect any very serious resistance on the part of M. Sebastiani. It remains to carry it into execution. We may easily conceive why, with such news and with that received from Brussels, respecting the position of the Dutch and Belgian armies, the Chamber has refused to vote with M. Amilhau," that under this Government, jealous of our dig nity, the faithful guardian of our alliance, France continues to hold in the world and in the esteem of nations the rank which belongs to her, and from which she cannot fall."—Gazette de France.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE COLONIAL MARKETS DURING THE WEEK, There has been a fair business done for consumption of the primary commodities. Sugar, Cof Fee, Cocoa, Spices, Indigo, Tea, Rum, and Cotton, have not varied in price. Rice has been rather higher fur con sumption. The imports have been to a fair extent. BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—There has been fully as much business done in our piecc.market to.day as for some weeks past. Anything suitable for the foreign trade was readily disposed of, and at very full prices.— Yarns.—There i 3 no naw feature in this department of our trade ; the demand good, and full prices obtained. Wool.—There is not that firmness vi - ible on the part of staplers which was to be noticed some weeks past; and as stocks are good, many now think that it will be impassible much longer to maintain the late great advance. Not a bag bought but for instant use. WAKEFIELD COTTON MARKET, JAN. 19.—The arrivals of Wheat are large, and the trade dull for Wheat, which sells at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per qr. ; Barley is also 2s. lower; Oats and Beans unaltered in value.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN 16 There has been but little animation in the Butter Market this week, and even the best qualities are purchasable at a trifling reductiOn, even during this cold weather, which many thought would have wrought just the contrary effect. Inferior qualities very druggish indeed, as well as lower in value. We cannot notice any positive alteration in the value of Bacon since tria day se'nnight ; it is, however, good to sell, and all of good quality. Lard is fully as dear, especially bladdered. We make no alteration in our quotations in Beef and Fork. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS pAYL TWELVE O'(ILOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 18.—The demand in the early part of the week was very limited, and the Market heavy, affording to buyers an opportunity of supplying them selves at per cent. under our quotations of Friday last; but )egterday there was more energy from the trade, with a better appearance of business, this being also the case to-day. There are now only casual instances where purchases can be made upon better terms than at the close of last week. The sales to-day are 4.000 of all kinds, the Market closing more steadily. Speculators have taken 5,500 bales of Ame rican, and 200 Pernams ; 1,000 American on speculation to-day. "`,The only arrival this 'morning of any interest is the express from Paris, and the Belgian papers ; the former containing the speech of Berryer and Thiers, in the Chamber of De puties. THE FUNDS.

THE VACANT CORONERSHIP.—Mr. Baker, the Coroner for the Eastern division of the county of Middlesex, will perform the duties of Coroner for the Western division until a successor has been elected in place of the late Thomas Stirling, Esq. Three candidates have started for the vacant office, viz.:—Mr. Butchell, of the Sheriff's Court ; Mr. R. E. Arden, solicitor, of Red Lion-square ; and Mr. C. F. Adey, of Lincoln's Inn. The election is in the freeholders. It is not known whether Mr. Wakley comes forward again, as he is at present attending his father, who is ill in Devonshire. Last evening a foreignei, calling himself John Moller, was detected at the Golden Cross Hotel, and on his person was found two coats, waistcoats, and other articles, which he had stolen from the bed-rooms. He was examined at Queen-square this morning, and fully committed to New. gate. Several robberies have recently taken place in the above establishment, and also at many other hotels in London, and it is hoped that the capture of the thief may lead to the detection of others, with whom he is no doubt implicated. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. ---The Queen paid a visit to this theatre last evening the management having been advised yesterday of her Mjesty's intention to ba present. Her Majesty arrived at the theatre at a quarter to eight, and was received by Mr. Notter, the box-book-keeper, who had been deputed by Mr. Macready to conduct the ceremonies of the occasion. The Royal visit was strictly private, but at the conclusion of Rob Roy (which preceded the Pantomime) there were some calls for the Queen, which were, however, silenced by the audience in general, who seemed inclined to let her Majesty enjoy her privacy. The Countess of Charle mont, Lord Alfred Paget, the Hon. Misses Paget and Spring Rice were with her Alajesty, and arrived with others of the suite, in two of the Royal carriages, which were the only ones aiLa c d to oecup:, the yard of the private box entrance until after the Queen's departure. Her Majesty consequently left as quietly as she bad arrived, Mr. Notter attending the Royal exit as he had done the entree. Mr. Macready had no cast in the performance of the evening. own :--. The effect of the opening of the trade has been such as to justify all the anticipations which the advocates of the mea sure had formed of its success. We do not exaggerate ; wo only state the plain matter of fact, when we affirm that the silk manufacture has made a more rapid progress during the last five years, or since the abolition of the prohibitive system, in 1826, than it did during the preceding century. So unpre cedented has been its advance, that the once- existing dispa rity in quality between goods of French and English make has, with some very unimportant exceptions, not merely dis appeared, but actually ranged itself on the side of the British artisan. In point of substantial excellence the Wain silk goods ma nufactured in England are superior to those of France, and the difference in favour of the latter in point of finish is every day becoming less perceptible, while in all mixed manufac tures of silk and wool, silk and cotton, silk and linen, &c., our ascendancy is admitted• by the French themselves. On the other hand, the ribands, figured gauzes, and light fancy goods manufactured in France, are superior to these of this country. Even in this department, we have made a very great progress, and fancy goods are now produced at Spitalfieles, Coventry, and other places, contrasting most advantageously in point of taste and beauty with those produced previously to the introduction of the new system. We are aware that this manufacture which has made this astonishing progress, has still a protecting duty of 30 per cent.; but we believe that wanting it —for that does not enable our manufactures to com pete with foreigners in their own market—the pro gress of the manufacture would have been still more extraordinary. Obviously the effect of allowing the competition of foreigners in an article in which they have many advantages, was to im prove the ingenuity and add to the resources of our own manufacturers. Why should not this be the case with the produce of the agriculturists in which the foreigner has no advantages ? The pro tected farmers of England, are in fact, at this time some of the least economical corn growers, and worst agri culturists of the day, and need to be brightened up by competition. But if the silk trade has a protecting duty as it is called, of thirty per cent., it must be re membered, that the manufacturers have at the same time continually had to struggle against the Corn-laws, which, probably, enhance the price of their productions 50 or sometimes 100 per cent. Notwithstanding this prodigious disadvantage, the silk manufacture released from the incubus of prohibition, and stimulated by generous rivalry, has actually grown into an exporting trade to a considerable amount : The increase (says - Mr. M'Culloch) in the export o wrought silks affords, if possible, a still more decisive proof o the extraordinary improvement and extension of the manufac ture. Instead of having any thing to fear from the competi tion of the French at home, we are actually underselling them in the heavier and more important species of goods in every foreign market equally accessible to both parties. The ex ports of silks from France have been declining, while those of England have been increasing beyond all precedent. The official value of our exports of silk goods in 1823, amounted to 140,3201, whereas in 1830 it amounted to 437,8801., being an advance of more than three hundred per cent. I Not only therefore are the statements as to the ruin of the silk menu. facture proved to be wholly without the shadow of a fountain, but the expectation of those who contended that the repeal of the restrictive system would be the commencement of a new era of invention and improvement, have been realized to the atmost extent. We have before us the returns to 1836, and though there can be no doubt that the increase would have been still greater were there no Corn-laws, it ha s continued to grow. The export of manufactured silk was as follows in the years subsequent to Mr. M'CuLLocH's statement :-1832, 529,6911.; 1833, 737,404/. ; 1834, 637,198/. ; 1835, 973,786/. ; and 1836, 917,8221. The returns in our posses sion do not come down to a later period, but it would appear as if the trade had in 1835 reached its acme. Mr. M'CuLLocH does not, we believe, say anything about the wages of the silk ma nufacturers ; but it is a matter of public notoriety that the people of Spitalfields, Macclesfield, and Co ventry, have been far less distressed, and far more generally and fully employed since 1826, than they were prior to that period. If such have been the undoubted results of allowing foreign compe tition in silk—and had trade been wholly free they would have been still more delightful—what reason is there for supposing that in the bulky article of corn the advantages to the growers, the increased demand for their production and its actual increase, would not follow the same rule as silk ? The production of silk gowns has no tendency to multiply wearers of silk and in crease the demand for gowns, but the production of food has a tendency to multiply mouths and increase the demand for food, causing for the farmer that con- timid tendency of demand to keep ahead of supply, which is the blissful state for all productive labourers. We hope our agricultural readers will be assured by the example of the silk trade, that the best hopes for the permanent prosperity of agriculture are to be found in making the corn trade perfectly free, which will lower the price of the farmers' produce, promote con sumption, increase population, and continually extend the demand for food. We are now so pressed on by reports of Corn-law meetings and notices, that we cannot insert them ail, and must briefly dispose of them here. The Edin burgh Chamber of Commerce agreed on Thursday to petition Parliament for the repeal of all the taxes on food, and an amendment to recom mend a fixed duty on corn was rejected by 23 to 4. We agree with the nines that a corn tax is a viola tion of principle, and ought not, on any pretext, or to the smallest extent, to be tolerated. On account of the tendency of populatio n to increase rapidly, no im pediment laid in the way of the acquisition of food by any Government, under any pr etence, At Greenwich th ere i s to be a meeting on next Thursday, for th e p urpose of petitioning the Legisla ture to repeal th e C orn -l aws. can be borne. On Monday the Town Council of Derby is to meet, for the same object. On Wednesday a public meeting was held at Stroud, wli:ch was most numerously attended, which we shall notice further on Monday. In fact Corn-l a w meetings are now everywhere taking place, and we defy the land- ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. FISHMONGERS' COMPANY This case was part heard yestsrdsy. The information is filed by the Attorney-General against the Fishmongers' Com pany, alleging that they had not properly opplicd certain pro perty left to them as trustees by the will of Sir Thomas Knobs worth. As the case was opened and the facts stated too late for our publication yesterday, we shall abstain from narrating them until the Master of the Rolls has delivered judgment. QUEEN'S BEN CH.-(T HIS ,D AY.) The COURT took the Crown paper this morning. The cases argued related to the settlement of paupers, and presented no feature of public interest. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. Mr. KELLY moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the Northern and Eastern Coun tics Railway, commanding them to issue a precept, and sum mon a Jury, in order to assess the damage and compensation payable to Henry Sanford, Esq., in respect of certain pre miies comprised in the schedule of the Act under which the Railway is co❑stituted, and which they had' given notice of their intention to take. Mr. Justice PATTESON, after hearing a statement of the facts, granted a rule nisi. THE QUEEN U. BARRETT AND OTHERS. Mr. V. LEE moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue, to remove :he depositions in this case into the Court, and • why the pris9ner should not be admitted to bail. The defendants in this ct:se were committed for the riots at Todmorden, and the ground of the application was that the words of the commitment were not in conformity with the terms of the Act. Mr. Justice PATTESON said he would look over the affidavits. THE SOUTHEND PIER COMPANY. Mr. PRICE moved for a mandamus to the Court of Quarter Sessions of Essex to enter the continuance up and hear an appeal by certain barge owners against a conviction under the Southend Pier Company's Act. The appeal came before the Justices at the last Sessions, but only part of the matter was heard, and the application n ow was t h at t h ey m i g h t re -h ear it. Mr. Justice PATTESON, after he;:ring a very long statement. directed the Justices to hear that part of the case which had riot come before them. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY.) FOSS V. RACINE AND OTHERS. Mr. PLATT moved for a rule nisi, calling upon :he plain tiff to show cause why the Master should not review hie taxa tion. The plaintiff sued in forma pauperis against four de fendants, for slander, trespass. and assault. The Judge, 0v the trial, immediately charged the Jury to find a general ver dict fur one of the defendants, and the Jury subsequently found for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages against three o f the defendants upon only one plea. The Master at the taxatiosi gave the plaintiff the general costs of the trial, and upon ap plication to Fox to pay the costs against the plaintiff of those parts found againq him, the Master declined, on the ground that a pauper paid no costs. The defendants merely wished the costs to be set off, and surely that was fair. The first Act which gave costs to the chi, - .ndant was the 23d Henri VIII., and in it was enacted that paupers should not pal costs in any action, but if nonsuited or the verdict be against him in any action but trespass or slander, he should- be liable to any punishment the Court might think proper. The laW was funher amended by the 4th of James chap 3, which gave the same redress in actions of slander and trespass as the former Act gave in all other. The next Act regulating costs was that of the 3d and 4th William IV., but that Act, aq well as the 7th new rule of Hilary Term of the 4th and. 5:13 William IV., related only to paupers not paying''' casts. In this case they did not ask for costs--• all that they asked was that those costs to which they were entitled should he set off against those found for him. When be had to receive costs the Court will treat hill" in the same manner as they should any otl-er person. Lord ABINGER—It is expressly enacted, and has been re cognised in many cases, that a pauper pays no costs. Mr. PLATT—But we do not ask him to pay—we only ask a set-off. Mr. Baron PARKE— HO is entitled to receive costs, and not to pay. Allowing a set-off would be virtually making bim pay, and therefore we cannot grant the application. Mr. PLATT—That, my Lords, will offer a great premium fur the bringing of frivolous actions. The COURT—We cannot help that—we are bound. The Master, however, has gone wrong in giving all the costs of the cause. He is only entitled to the briefs and Counsel's fees for that part of the declaration which was found for him. Mr. PLATT—The verdict was 405., that is under 51., and therefore no Counsel's fees ought to have been allowed. Tho rule was granted for reviewing the taxation on those two points. _ _ _ After some other business of a purely technical nature, the Court rose at half-past twelve o'clock, their Lordships having to meet the other Judges upon some Crown cases.
