STANDARD.—A Whig Contemporary yester day expressed much anxiety at the elevation of Lord Stanley to the peerage, upon grounds, the ingenious discovery of which we may admire, but grounds which we can scarcely understand. The journal in question first assumes that Lord Stanley has taken fright at the preparations for an invasion of the Colonial department, made by certain important :Members of the House of Commons, viz.— " Some people think that the Baron Bickerstaffe has cut and run' from the provoking inquiries threatened in the Commons next session—by Mr. Buller on emi gration, by Mr. Hutt on the West Indies, by Mr. Scott on New South Wales, by Mr. Forster on the west coast of Africa, by Mr. Aglionbv, Mr. Mangl es , an d L or d Howick on New Zealand, and by Mr. Hawes on colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament. There is probability in the suspicion." " Some people" may perhaps adopt this ingenious solution of Lord Stanley's elevation to the peerage, but " other people" will think that the matter may be more simply explained by the hypothesis that, as certainly the second in eminence of living Parliamen tary debaters, Lord Stanley may be placed more usefully for the Administration an d th e country in the ✓ House of Lords than in the House of Com mons, where the very first living debater already leads the majority, and even single-handed, without the aid of Mr. Gladstone, Sir J. Graham, &e. ' would find it an easy matter to d e al i n d e b a t e with a five fold greater force of Parliamentary ability than Lord John Russell and all his followers, Lord Palmerston 1 included, can array against him ; it is, besides, an ill compliment to the ex-Whig Colonial Secretaries in the. House of Lords, Lords Glenelg and Nortnanby, to say that they would be less formidable antagonists, though backed by Lord Clanricarde, &c., &c., than Messrs. Buller, Hutt, Scott, Forster, Aglionby, Lord Irowick, and Mr. Benjamin Hawes., or any of them. The Whig journal, however, proceeds : " This dodge' has about it all that super-subtlety for which the Colonial-office has long been notorious, and from which our transmarine possessions have so deeply suffered. That office dreads discussion ;it will do any thing, however mean or monstrous, to avoid debate. Let vas then cast a glance at the state in which Lord Stanley, MI his departure from the House of Commons, leaves the colonies." Of " the dodge" (to borrow our Contemporary's polite phraseology) we have already spoken ; but there is something curious in the admissions of the paragraph, that the Colonial-office has long. been notorious for " super-sublety " for " the dread of discussion," and for doiree anything mean or mon etrous in order to avoid debate. Long notoriety, in such matters, must extend beyond. three or four years. What, says Bacon, is the hour-glass of one man's life in the age of a nation ? The long notoriety of the mismanagement of a great public department must therefore reach to sonic considerable period, cer tainly to a period sufficiently long to embrace the -whole of the fourteen years since 1830, though within that period the eminently energetic Lord Glenel g , as Well as Lords Normanby and J. Russell hold the cobanial seals—of eour , e "dreaded discussion, and did mean and monstrous things." It surely is not kind of the IVhig journalist to rip up these offences of its old friends, already suffering enough of Tublic contempt in their dreary unplaced position. .As if, however, maliciously resolved to fix its charges ;against the Colonial-office upon the Whig holders of ilia office, the Whig journal details them all in its " ,glance"—a glance prismatically split into 16 heads, e aieli head presenting some colonial difficulty, and each difficulty that is not simply ridiculous, or obviously tanfoun.ded, being the eft-'ct of Whig mismanagement.

The Master had found that the parties entitled were the relations by kindred, and he should confirm that finding ; the property in dispute would, therefore, go to the next of kin, and not to the heirs at-law. (Before Sir J. WIGRAM.) MALLALIEU V. MILLER. This case, which has been already before the Court, was again brought before his Honour this morning. It came on on further directions and costs, and equity reserved upon the alleged lien of the plaintiff Melia lieu, who is a factor residing in Manchester, on the goods of Copeland and Duncan, late shipping agents of Liverpool, who had become bankrupt in the latter end of 1836. The alleged lien on the bankrupts pro perty arose out of a balance of cash due in the ordi nary course of business by the bankrupts to Mallalieu. The arguments upon the affidavits and evidence, which were exceedingly voluminous, engaged the Court the entire day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 22. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court heard motions to-day. No case of im portance came before the Court up to the hour that we went to press. During the course of the morning the Middlesex Grand Jury came into Court, and having been thanked by Mr. Justice Williams for their services, were discharged. BAIL COURT, Nov 22. THE QUEEN V. THE GUARDIANS OF THE TOTNES UNION. Mr. GREENWOOD moved for a mandamus to compel he guardians to give relief without the workhouse to a poor person named Penning. An order was made by two magistrates, in pursuance of the 27th sec. of the Poor-law Amendment Act, for out-door relief to the poor person, who was unable to work. There was a difference of opinion amongst the guardians as to the propriety of complying with the order, but upon a motion made by Sir J. T. Bulleran, ex-officio guardian, that the order be complied with, it was de cided that the pauper ought not to have out-door relief. —Application granted. MARY ELIZABETH SMITII V. EARL FERRARS. Mr. BUTT moved for a rule to show cause why the rule for changing the venue in this case should not be discharged, and why the venue should not be changed from Warwickshire to London. This was an action brought by the next of kin to the plaintiff for breach of promise of marriage, to which there were two pleas pleaded non assumset and infancy. The cause was removed on the usual affidavit to Warwickshire. It was) stated that the defendant was a person of great influence in Warwickshire, and that the jurors there would be guided by the influence of his family. The defendant had, moreover, married Augusta A ra b e ll a Chichester, whose family had likewise gr e at influ ence in Warwickshire. The plaintiff stated that she intended to have the cause tried by a special jury, and that an impartial jury could be obtained in London. She also stated that she believed several witnesses would be called who would speak to important facts which occurred immediately without the city boundary. —Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. THE 'VICAR AND CHURCHWARDIINS OP ST. STEPHEN'S, CITY. Mr. PasunEtou moved for a mandamus to com mand the vicar and churchwardens of St. Stephen's, Coleman-street, to call a vestry, for the purpose of electing an organist to the parish. It appeared that a committee had been appointed to decide on the merits of candidates for the office, and they selected six per sofas. A meeting was called to elect one of the sir, at which Miss Macrane, who was not one of the six, de manded a poll. They granted a poll, but refused her votes. This was the reason of the application. Mr. Justice PATTESON said that an organist was not an officer. Mr. PASHLEIGH said that a rate made for an organist was legal. _ _ 111 r. - Justice PATTFSON doubted it. CONSECUATION OF CANIRERAVELL CHURCH.— On Thursday morning the Bishop of Winchester consecrated the new church at Camberwell, built on the site of the tine destroyed by fire in 1542, The church, w hi c h h as Leen erected at a out of 14,000/., will accomodate 1,500 persons.

Mr. Justice PATTESON—An organist is no or nament.—(Laughter.) Mr. PASIILLIGH referred to other authorities. Mr. Justice PATTESON took time to consider the matter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. and thence to Charing-cross Hospital, where the usual antidotes were effectively administered. No medical gentleman was present to give evidence. The defendant, in answer to the Magistrate's in quiries, said that she had been turned out of doors by her mother, an upholstress, at Camberwell, with whom she had resided during the greater part of the last three months, but who had refused to give her any further support. She had been in service at St. John's-wood since the death of her father, about seven years ago, and not being able to get another situation was the same of her mother's cruelty towards her. She was not aware that she had ever given her mother greater offence than either of her sisters, who were more kindly treated, and yet she was turned into the streets at half-past eleven o'clock at night, and left to walk about till the next morning, when she applied to the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion house, and also to the magistrate at Union-hall, to both of whom she declared that she was destitute. They refused, however, to hear her story, and feeling too ill to bear another night's exposure to the cold, without food, she resolved to destroy herself, for which purpose she procured and drank the laudanum. Mr. HALL asked her if she had any friends ?—The girl replied that she had lived two weeks with a mar ried sister at Windsor; but she was now ill, in Guy's Hospital. All she wanted was, to get some shelter until she could hear of a place, us her mother would do nothing for her until she had obtained one. Mr. HALL directed the constable to take her to St. Martin's Workhouse, in order that her ease might be investigated. William Fitzgeorge, a stoker on board the Earl of Liverpool steam-vessel, trading to and from Ostend, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie, charged, upon an information, with having been found in that vessel in possession of a quantity of tobacco, on which the duty had not been paid. Coleby Atkinson Davis, the Custom-house officer s stated that between five and seven o'clock on Thurs • day morning he went on board the Earl of Liverpool, which lay off Tower-stairs. The prisoner, who was not at that time on board, arrived soon afterwards, and witness, upon searching his berth, found under the flooring under the bed about Vbs. of tobacco, and subsequently he found 161bs. of tobacco in the engine room. In the forecastle he found, on the same day, 161bs. of tobacco, and in the after-cabin 101bs. of cigars. The prisoner was convicted in the penalty of 1001. William Holls, also a stoker on board the Earl of Liverpool, was charged under an information charg ing him with a similar offence. The prisokor said that he was not guilty to the ex tent attributed, and that he thought he was justified in having in his possession a certain quantity of the article. Sir JouN PIRIE—We are imperatively called upon to check this practice, which now knows no bounds. The prisoner was fined 1001. Henry Hadden, steward of the after-cabin, was charged with having been concerned in the smuggling of tobacco. WORSHIP-STREET. Anne ilf‘Cormack was brought up for final exami nation before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a sovereign, the property of Leah Aarons, her fellow-servant, at the house of Mr. M. Gomez Silva, a West India merchant, residing in King-street, Finsbury-square; and also with the abduction of her master's daughter, ten years of age. The depositions, which were very voluminous, having been read over, the prisoner was fully com mitted on the charge of felony, and, in the event of her acquittal thereon, the Magistrate ordered a de tainer to be lodged against her for the misdemeanour. On Thursday Mr. Attenborough, the pawnbroker of Crown-street, Finsbury, attended before Mr. Bing ham to show cause why he refused to deliver up a coat, of the value of 205., which had been pledged at his shop, and the principal and legal interest on which had been duly tendered. Anne Barrett, a poor Irishwoman, proved pledging the article on the 4th inst., and that on going to re deem it, the defendant refused to restore it, on the ground that he had already delivered it over to another person. The defendant produced the usual printed form of " declaration," filled up in the name of 'William Bar rett, which is that of the woman's husband, deposing to his having lost the duplicate, and said that the pledge had been delivered to the person presenting it. He maintained that he had thus exonerated himself from all liability. The complainant declared that neither she nor her husband had either made the declaration themselves, or authorised any other person to make it for them. She had pledged the coat herself, her name was upon the duplicate, and all the defendant's shopmen knew her intimately, from her being constantly obliged to pawn articles there. Mr. BINGHAM said, he was strongly inclined to think that the defendant was answerable for the pro perty or its value, and that he was in a correlative position to that of a banker and his customer, in which, if any of the customer's money were paid to a third party by fraud, the loss in such case clearly fell upon the banker. The defendant pointed out the extreme hardship of such a liability upon pawnbrokers, as it would place them entirely at the mercy of any unprincipled per son who thought fit to commit a fraud upon them. They were imperatively required by the Act of Par liament to give the necessary forms of declaration to be filled up, not merely to the owner of the property pledged, but even to any one representing himself as the owner, and as the property in dispute might some times be of the most valuable description, the magis trate might at once see to what a serious extent their interests would-be endangered. Mr. BINGHAm, after referring to the Act, said the question involved in the matter was of such vast in terest to the public and to pawnbrokers in general, that he was of opinion no single magistrate ought to he called upon to decide on the point in issue, but that it should be settled by a deliberate decision in Wekininster-hall. He put it to the defendant, whe ther it would not be worth while to refer the ques tion to some eminent counsel, as similar cases re peatedly came before him, and ke was very much afraid that the owners of property themselves were frequently in collusion with persons who committed such frauds. The defendant sail, he should certainly forthwith adopt the magistrate's suggestion, as during the forty years that he had been in business he had never once been compelled to return property under such cir cumstances. Mr. BINGHAM felt the case to be one of great diffi culty, and should therefore take time to form a judg ment upon it, and would meanwhile recommend the defendant to consult his brother tradesmen, with the view of obtaining competent professional assistance, and having the matter further and more fully dis cussed at a future day. The defendent expressed his determination to do so, and the case was adjourned for a fortnight, that its legal difficulties might be put into a train of deli berate investigation. CLEEKEIV WELL. On Thursday Mrs. Phillips, residing in Henrietta street, Brunswick-square, and Mr. Charles Olivar , a solicitor, living there, wer e c h arged with violently assaulting Mrs. Lucinda Montague, and her servant, Eliza Jennings, lodgers in the same house. Mrs. Montague, who seemed very nervous and de licate, deposed, that her husband having fallen into a small arrear of rent, they received notice to quit from the defendant Oliver, as attorney for Mrs. Phillips, with whom he was on terms of close inti macy. The notice expired on Thursday last, but witness, in consequence of the delicate state of her health, did not leave on that day. At five o'clock, in the evening, her husband, on returning from busi ness knocked at the street-door ; she sent her ser vant, a girl of sixteen, down to open it, but not hear ing the door open, nor the servant return, she ran down stairs, and on reaching the hall was shocked at seeing the girl on the ground, and the defendant Oliver with, his knee on her chest, and both his knuckles pressing her throat, so that she was almost suffocated. The door was barricadoed with chains and staples. Witness screamed, and ran towards the door to admit her husband; but Olivar immedi ately seized her by the throat, and squeezed her with te r' greatlya sprain rma swollen. t o r w l wrist, l s n t ed all his force. She burst away from him, but Mrs. severalPhillipsso which At length leehn round owha s w af i ho t h er much days f grasped o r c e af t as e l : got up stairs to her own apartments, but the de fendants rushed in a ft er h er, where they again used violence. Her three infant children screamed, but Olivar, tearing her shawl from her back, exclaimed, " I seize this in the Queen's name," and desired them all "to turn out" The witness detailed other acts of violence by ate defendants. Eliza Ann Jennings, Mrs. Montague's servant, corroborated :her mistress's testimony in every re spect. She had been nearly suffocated from Mr. Olivar's violence. Mr. Davis having repeated his former evidence, un derwent a cross-examination by Mr. Pickett, of the house of E. B. Robinson, Savage-gardens, but the cross-examination had the effect of more strongly exhibiting the guilt:of the prisoner. The witness stated that the chief steward, who was evidently igno rant of the stowage of contraband goods in the vessel, said to the prisoner, " What a fool you must be to do such a thing ;" to which the prisoner replied that he had deposited some of the tobacco in the berth himself, and that he was sorry for it. The witness, in answer to a question from Mr. Pickett, who endeavoured to shuffle the offence from the shoulders of his client to those of the chief mate, said that the Custom-house officers were in the habit of endeavouring with all their might to discriminate between the innocent and the guilty, and that they entirely exonerated the chief mate in the case. Mr. Pickett—ls not a certain quantity of tobacco allowed to each person on board ? Mr. Davis-I\io. The captain is allowed the power to deal out a certain quantity of tobacco to his men, but they have no privilege at all of the kind. We are well aware who are the guilty parties. Mr. Pickett then begged that the Magistrate would inflict a lenient penalty upon his client, in considera tion of the large family the poor man had. The LORD MAYOR said the Board of Commis sioners had the power to alleviate the punishment which the Magistrates could not help pronouncing in such a case upon such convincing testimony. The prisoner was then convicted in the penalty of 1001. GUILDHALL. On Thursday Walter Bennett, an errand-boy, about ,hirteen years of age, in the service of Mr. Graham, an ivory -turner, in Bride-lane, was brought before Mr. Alderman Humphery, charged with stabbing Edward Ingram, an apprentice working for the same employer. A surgeon's certificate was put in that Ingram's life was in danger. Ingram's sister attended as complainant. She said she was not present at the time the assault was com mitted, nor when her brother was brought home. He was first taken to a surgeon, who dressed the wound and sent him home to his lodging in Parson's court, Bride-lane. She believed he was dying. She understood he was wounded about six o'clock on Tuesday evening. John Speakman, City police-constable 329, stated that the prisoner was given into his custody on Wed nesday evening by the mother of Ingram. The wound was at the top of the abdomen. He produced the tool, a gouge, about eighteen inches long. Mr. Alderman HUMPUERY asked the sister how old her brother was ? She said .he was about twelve. Mr. Alderman Humenuav asked her if she had heard what led to the assault ? She said the prisoner anti her brother had words. The prisoner said the apprentice had extinguished his own light by spitting on the candlewick, and finding a difficulty in lighting it again, he put pri soner's candle out in the same wa y. Having got a fresh light from a neighbour, the prisoner attempted to set fire to his hair, and prisoner in return tried to burn his shoulder. This made the apprentice cross, and he struck prisoner over the arm. Prisoner in return threw a gouge at him. Mr. Alderman llummumy did not believe the tool would pass through the clothes and pierce the body if it had been thrown. it must have been pushed at him. The prisoner said it was. Mr. Alderman HUMPHRRY asked if any one was present at .the time ? The prisoner said there was another boy. The prisoner's father put in a certificate from some person that the prisoner WIN an inoffensive, mild tempered boy, and the father asked if he might be admitted to bail. Mr. Alderman HUMFUERY said he could not admit to bail a person who might be charged with murder. The father smiled at the observation, and said it could not be murder. Mr. Alderman HUMPITERT asked him what he called it ? It was impossible that he could be a mild tempered boy, or he would not have seized a sharp instrument and thrust it into the body of the appren tice. It was very indecent for the father to be laugh ing while the son was about to be charged with mur der.—The father said it could only be manslaughter- Mr. Alderman HUMPHERT said he should not ad• mit the prisoner to bail, and remanded him till Sa turday. Two young men, named Johnstone and Smith, were charged with having stolen a gold watch and chain, the property of Bernard Trainer, a traveller. Johnstone was brought up on Wednesday, and was remanded until to-day, that Smith might be taken into custody in the meantime. Bernard Trainer said he lived at No. 64, Wood street. On Saturday he met two friends, and they proceeded to the Parr's Head public-house, in Alders gate-street, to have something to drink. He was a little in liquor. He and a person named Callaghan sparred for some time. Previous to their fighting he took out his watch and chain, and gave it to a friend, named St. Ledger, t o hold. St. Ledger put the watch on the mantel-shelf, and when they left the house they left it there by mistake. On Sunday he went to the public-house to get the watch, when Johnstone, who was potman at the public-house, de nied all knowledge of it. Smith was a lodger at the house. Mary Wood, the servant at the public-house, saw Johnstone with a gold watch and chain in his pos session. He told her that if anybody asked her about it, she was to say nothing. He afterwards said that he had sold it to Smith for 2/. She could not swear that the watch produced was the one he had, but it much resembled it. Smith pledged the watch at Mr. Newby's, 43, Drury-lane, for Si., and the chain for 30s.—The pri soners were fully committed for trial. BOW-STREET. Thursday an elderly man, most respectably dressed who refused to give his name, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with having attempted to steal a piece of cloth from the auction-rooms of Mr. George Robins, Piazza, Covent-garden. The prisoner, it appeared, was present at a sale of cloth belonging to a pawnbroker, which was g o i ng on yesterday aftern oon a t Mr. Robins's auction-rooms, and was observed by one of the porters to cut a piece of cloth, about two yards long, from off a roll near the fireplace, with a penknife. The porter told Mr. Robins, who ordered him to go outside, under the Piazza, and wait till the pri soner came ou t, w hi c h h e did, and walking up to him asked him to go back into the auction-room with him. The prisoner complied, and was there given into custody. On being searched, a penknife and two duplicates were found on him, but the duplicates had only "Groves, 25, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square," and gave no clue to his identity. The cloth lay just where the prisoner had left it. The prisoner, on being asked f o r hi s d e f ence , in as toelystanding by the dignantly denied the charg e , a n d s t a t e d th a t h e was mer fi res id e , along with oth ers , and ne ver t ouched the cloth.

Oliver admitted having seized the girl, but did not use the violence described. Mrs. Phillips denied the assault, and called two witnesses, who did not, however, refute the com plainant's testimony. Mr. GREENWOOD said it was a gross outrage, and he would fine Oliver 3/. for the assault on Mrs. Mon tague, and 1/. for the assault on the servant ; and Mrs. Phillips 2/. Mr. Olivar—ls there no appeal ? tio.Mnr. GREENWOOD—I c ann ot answer you that ques- Mr. Olivar—Could not we compromise the matter ? Mr. Ganubtwoop—lesTo such thing. It is a dreadful outrage. If you do not pay the money I will commit you for five weeks, Mr. Olivar did not pay the money, and was locked up. Four well-d resse d young men , named A' egus, Eng land, Wakely, and _Hoskins, were charged with creating a dis'curbance in Gray's Inn-lane on the pre vious night. They described themselves by various designatio, ls . N egus h a d sta t e d th at h e was the Turkish A m b assa d or, b ut they a ll t urne d out to be nothing more or less than twopenny-postmen.

Negus aid he was the Turkish Ambassador, and warned them against interfering with him or his comrades. They then commenced hallooing and shouting at the top of their voices, so as to disturb the inhabitants. Hoskins said he was a City policeman All the pri soners, except England, were very violent and dis orderly. They were ultimately conveyed to the station-house, after more than one attempt to escape.

Mr. COMBE fined all the prisoners ss. each, exceix England. Negus paid the money, put on his hat in the Court, and strutted off with an air of great importance. The witnesses were accordingly bound over, and the prisoner will he committed on Tuesday. On Thursday a young woman named Mary Ann J(fferies was charged with having attempted suicide by taking laudanum. She had been brought up the preceding Monday to answer the charge, but as s h e was then suffering intensely from the effects of the ' poison the case was deferred, and the poor girl con veyed back to the hospital. No. 104 A stated, that on Thursday night, the 14th inst., while on duty in St. James's-park, he found the defendant lying under the milk stands, near Spring gardens, apparently asleep. On arousing her (which he had some difficulty in doing), she told him that she had just taken fourpennyworth of laudanum, and produced a bottle, which bad evidently contained the poison.
