Whatever may be said or thought of the hato pro secutions in Ireland, it is quite clear, that the feelings of the people of England have been roused from apathy and indifferenee,•as to the . state of the sister country. I'so* at any period of his life, did O'CoNsam; stand so, high in the: opinions of Englishmen. as ,at this, moment--never did sym pathy for the -wrongs of Irishmen,- and admiration for the constant champion of his countrymen, prevail to anything like the extent now exhibited, and never did- persecution produce xesults more unfavOur able to its originators than the persecution set on foot by the Irish Government,"to crush the man whom it has tended to exalt. And we believe that Irish gratitude bears eqnal pace with English sympathy; that conciliation rules where exasperation lately pre sided ; and that the very kindliest. and best feelings have taken the place of bitter hatred, ana undisguised detestation. The tone in both countries hai changed, is changing, and will change still - more, when the cause of Ireland becomes, as the late trials havetended to make it, the cause of the whole empire, : The demonstration of English sympathy which is to take place at Covent-garden Theatref,on Tuesday, the 12th instant, will' increase the kindliness which it is so important to encourage. ,Seldom have we seen a list of names joined for such a purpose, equal . to that which our columns this day show joined as steward,ifoithe pUrPose of fraternising ,with Ireland and O ' CONNELL. : • May inch - meetings, and such feelings as they call into action, prevail ; and then England and Ireland united, 11434 titid ee,.may 'show the blessings which sprit - is...from good government, free from partialify, jealousy, and ,suspicion. The LORD C!iiricshr,,,a !t aid the -Ilulve of WEL LINGTft were abSent, from, lionse of Lords last. night,. aid no laiicilli.rii.arasAralisacted. In the commons, after the presentaaon.of•petitions, Mr. V. Sstrrir gave-notice •that • onl'hursday-- se'n night he would move foriet3ve , to a Bill t o alter the oatktakpu •by .Roman Catholics before ,en teringi*Arliament. Idr., P . ...CRAWFORD gave notice that, on the'motion for going into Supply this day, he should move that the petitions_ prelented.to the, lipuse ,relative to the grievances of the people be referred to a Select Com mittee, andthat till•suchCommittee be granted the supplies be withheld. Mr. • iLacttiN!roN gave notice that he would on Thursday se'nnight move for, a, Select Conunittee to inquire into prison discipline. In answer to a questithi from Mr. llAwas relative to the - Custom-house robberies . , Lord - Q SOMERSET said the inquiry was going on with all pOssible spepd, but he could not say when it would terminate. In answer to a question from Mr. WALLAcz; Mr. GLADSTONE said that in all , cases when railways were brought before Parliament,sin which any new powers were required, the clause recommended by the Rail.. way Committee would be brought into operation. lie understood the clause would apply to the whole line in each ease. The Earl of LINCOLN brought in a Bill for regu lating the building of houses in London and the neighbourhood. It applied chiefly to drainage, to the prohibiting the carrying on of dangerous trades, or trades noxious to health, in crowded digricts, and the appointment of surveyors. Mr. RICE called the attention of the House to the Report of the Coramittee on Shipwrecks ' and moved for a Select C omm itt ee to ,carry; , the olljects 9f „the Committee into effect. ' "" Sir RoBERT 1.E.E4 said the subject was under the anxious consideration of the Government, but they would propose nothing till the Report of the Commis sioners was completed and duly considere I Several Members spoke on this important subject and others connected with it, and finally the motion was with drawn, on an understanding that the Government would take the affair into their own hands. Sir V. BLAKE, after a brief discussion, withdrew Ms motion relative to a more speedy communication between Great Britain and America. Mr. WALLACE postponed his motion on railways for three weeks. Colonel RAWDON moved, that owing to the late ness of the proclamation to prevent the Clontarf meeting, a risk of dangerous collision was incurred, and a precedent, therefore, established dangerous to the lives and liberties of her MAJESTY'S subjects. Mr. V. STUART seconded the motion. Lord ELIOT, in a lengthened speech, detailed the circum stances which led to the proclamation, and trusted the House wall not called upon to express its censure of the Government in the way asked for by the Gallant Colonel. The House divided, when there were for the mo tion 62, and against it 90. Lord WORSLEY brought in a Bill to inclose corn mons, and land held in common. The LORD ADVOCATE brought in a Bill to amend the law with respect to prisons and prison discipline in Scotland. _The House rose at a Quarter before Eleven o'clock All the excitement caused in France by the occu pation of Otaheite, and the bad feelings generated between the two countries by the late proceedings of Admiral DimsTrr THOUARS, might easily have been avoided by common prudence. No spot on the face of the earth could have been selected which was less suited than Otaheite for a French colony. It is, from the education, the habits, - and the aspirations of the people,. peculiarly English. It was - discOvered by Englishmen, it was visited-by 'English . missionaries more - than forty years ago, and these missionaries, or their successors, have ever since had a most powerful influence over the petty Sovereign and the barbaric chiefs who govern the country. Whatever intelli gence they have acquired, and whatever religious ideas may have sprung up among them, are purely English and Protestant, and they will suffer no amalgamation with _another creed or another nation. What madness, then, to throw a firebrand among them, and exhibit in a new Colony all the.horrors of religious dissension! If the French retain possession of Otaheite either as protec tors or supreme rulers, they must expel the mis sionaries, they must change the religion of the coun try, they •must make the whole system French; and - necessarily lead the people to lielieve that the, men that come from the. East.ate a selfish and degraded race, who have no settled • points of faith, and who only vie with each other in disturbing a little peace ful community, which would have been tenfold more happy if no European had ever been amongst them. While the 'French remain protectors of that country, there can be no peace. Is it not, therefore, a matter of serious consideration for the Governments of England and France- to do away with this French Protectorate, and find out some other islands in the Pacific, or elsewhere, which might equally suit the purposes of France-? England has no reason to be jealous, she has no reason to be niggardly, she has colonies in every quarter of the globe; and when the French Government has shown such a friendly disposition to this country, and the Cabinet has risked its existence to suit the views of the English Cabinet, ought we not in return to show some generosity, and assist the Gutzor Ministry; not only in repelling the attacks of the Opposition journals,.but in conciliating, by some acts of kind ness, nearly the whole of the French .nation ? We have taken possession of New Zealand. The French were there beforeus, but they have been ousted from the country, or if any colonists remain they are subject to English dominion. -We have added immense territory to our Indian possessions, we have taken the Falkland Islands, we have occupied the whole of Caffraria, and . find a harbour in every quarter of the globe for our shipping, yet the British Government seems determined to grudge the French every inch ",of ground out of their own territory ! This is not the way to maintain the entente cordiale. There must be reciprocity of con cession, or the two countries cannot long remain at peace. Even Louis PHILIFFE, with all his skill, and GUIZOT, with all his determined bravery, must at last give way, if England will not virtually assist them. in conciliating public opinion in France. England can afford to be generous, and shame to.her if she loses the fairest opportunity that ever occurred of reconciling. the two greatest civilised nations of the world, and securing universal peace.- Mr. RICE called the attention of the House of Commons, last night, to his Motion on the Report—to which we have, on two previous occasions, largely adverted—of the "-Committee on Harbours of Re fuge." This motion urged upon the House the pro priety of addressing the Crown "for the appointment of a Commission of scientific and competent persons to consider of the best mean§ for giving effect to . the recommendations of that Committee." The Hon. Member, with reason, rested his appeal to the Legis lature -on the nittin ground of its connexion with . truly conservative duties of the higheit order, inas much as they- respected not, only the security of our commerce, but the protection of life and property from losses at sea. We think Mr. RICE is fairly entitled to every credit for having divested his ad dress to the House, as much BS possible, of all appear ances of .local prepossession, He felt, as we do, that the interest of the topics embraced in his speech was national ; and he treated those topics, accordingly, in a large and general manner. On this point we are compelled to repeat the expres sion of our , own feeling—that matters of higher im port—of nearer concernment—not merely to the trade, coasting and foreign, and to the commercial marine' and capital of the country, but—to-the safety, and consequent political independence and grandeur of the empire, cannot be brought under the conside ration of I'arliament: It was obviously impossible for the Hon. Gentleman to avoid attributing para mount importance to the plans already submitted to the Select CoMmittee by civil engineers, and sanc tioned by the very highest naval and military autho rities, for the construction not only of a harbour of refuge, but of strong forts and commanding batteries at the mouth of the Thames. Our only -wonder is, how works of such indispen sable ' necessity and- palpable importance - can have been' so long neglected, in the face of such earnest suggestions as those offered by the Report of the Select Coinniittee in question. What have the Goveinnieut been doing in the interval which has elapsed since that " first" Report (laid upon the table in August last) was issued out , to Members ? 'What has been " Moved," in the business, -by the coun cillors of her MAJESTY since .the appearance of the second Report ? Absolutely nothing. No man can toll hOW nearly the moment approaches when reasons- Statenot the mere suggestions of a wise fare-casting policy, but the imperative.demands of some pre§ent, overruling exigency—may require that those works should have been deliberately planned— carefully censtructed—coMpleted•—in an effective condition, .Let us forbear to draw m or e di s ti nc tly the outline of unfortunate, but verypoisible, contin gencies which, may arise to interrupt cur present re lations with some, of the Foreign Powe rs , f rom w h om her MAJESTY, indeed, always receives" the mo s t friendly assurance,"—at the beginning of the session, and before the voting of 'supplies! Grant the contingencies in question to be but "possible,"—we ourselves entertain no notion that they are "probable :"—and there is case enough for the duty of at least preliminary preparations in such matters on the part of the GoVernment. But what is the_fact,?; The various. professional and civil wit nesses who gave their 'valuable evidence before the Select Committee, with the Duke of IVEJ.LINGTON, and a dozen Captains of 'the -Royal Navy=—Mr. Warana, and many other eminent engineers at their head—might as well have sat down with the Tam worth farmers,, to dine- off Sir R. PEEL'S imaginary Birmingham bull,—as to have calculated on any more substantial benefit resulting from all the pains they took to satisfy the inquiries Of the Committee. Our paragon ,of Premiers—whose self-appre ciation doubtless attributes to his _ own • official individuality all the administrative sagacity of a COLILERT, united with the exeQuti , .l3 energy of PITT, and the dispassionate judgment of Fox, has not only done nothing in the business—he has not yet come to any determination, even l To the temperate, sen sible speech of Mr. RICE, and the liberal offer of Sir JOIIN REID, to raise any money which might be re quired for carrying into effect the proposition to make Dover a " harbour of refuge," he replied by a sorry joke about the singular coincidence of this motion having been brought forward by one Hon. Member for Dover, and seconded by another. Then he went into a rambling summary of the evidence given by some of the principal witnesses examined, in order to illustrate the conflicting nature of their views as to the preferable localities to be selected for the harbour of refuge ; and, by what we must denounce as a mere clap-trap to enlist a few cheers from Irish Members, hinted his own preference for Holyhead over Dover. Now, no parties can be more perfectly alive than we are, to the value of any undertaking which shall shorten and im prove the communication between the two capitals, Dublin and London; but really the best answer to all the balanced pros and cons of Sir ROBERT'S mystified oration—his sage discoveries that A. was for one _point, and B. was clear that another was` , the more eligible for a new harbour ; and his tedious platitudes about the duties of the Scientific Commission, of which he gave a quasi promise,—is also the shortest,—Dover MUST BE made a harbour of refuge, ancimmediately. We shall return to this subject in the course of a day or two. For the present we can only enter our protest against the withdrawal of such a measure as Mr. IticE's, on .account of a speech so jejune, feeble, and worthless, so full of plausible nothings, and slip pery common places, as the. Premier's. The Chronicle of this morning contains some judi cious remarks on the subject of Parliamentary de bates.. Our Contemporary—and no wonder—is sorely afflicted at their intolerable length and prosiness, and suggests the expediency of their being subjected to a rigid process of curtailment. "Why on earth," he asks, "do we, repeat all the rubbish which no one listens to in the House itself ? The reporters should take the tone of the House in this respect ; one of the body might stay to make a brief note of all that passed between five and nine o'clock ) and the rest might pair and dine. If it were once well understood that, on ordinary occasion!, men who had got no footing in the House would get none in the newspapers, a great check would be placed on mediocre oratory. We invite our Contemporaries, without reference to party, to give a candid consideration to this project of Parliamentary Reform." There is no question— to parody the language of BURKE—that a predilec tion for prolixity in the House of Commons "has in creased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished," and we trust, therefore, that the Chronicle's seasonable hint will be carried into practice forthwith. It will not, indeed, put a stop to that cacoethes loquendi in which many Honourable Members are so prone to indulge, and to which—it may be observed by the way—those are usually the most addicted, who are the 'least gifted with the oratorical faculty; but it will, at any rate, be attended with this beneficial effect—namely, that it will spare an inoffensive and long-suffering Public the infliction of perusing an almost interminable mass of, what our Con temporary felicitously calls, " rubbish." In some cases this infliction amounts •to a positive calamity. Conceive, for instance, two mortal columns of. a PETER BORTHWICE, such as ap peared in the Post the other day ! The effect of perusing a speech of this length, unrelieved by the slightest fancy, wit, sarcasm, or information of any kind, must he quite excruciating; and the Public will no doubt jump eagerly at the opportunity of being disembarrassed henceforth of such• an appal ling visitation. In the extended form in which the debates at pre,sent appear in the daily prints, it is im possible for. nine out of ten readers, whose leisure hours are necessarily restricted, to peruse them with attention ; they must perforce skip every second column, as little boys skip the tall words in their nursery-books ; anti the - consequence is, that they glean but an imperfect and superficial view of the question in discussion . ; and not seldom throw down the paper, from sheer despair of being able to farm any sound:opinion respecting the cogency or other ' wise of the different arguments urged in the course of the debate. Hon. Members should bear in mind that an English day consists .but of twelve hours, and that the industrious portion of the community, who constitute the mass, can devote but a small portion of these hours to the perusal of their speeches. A very sound and argumentative oration may .be commenced and concluded within a quarter of an hour, but not a few of our Parliamentary debaters take a whole hour to saynothing ; and, consequently, theyproduce no other effect on the House than that of setting it fast asleep, or occasioning a desperate rush of unsympathising senators to the door. But if Honourable Members must needs talk their full of " fluent nonsense," at least let them, in compassion to the Public, allow a respite of one day in the week from the visitation of their oratory. Let them give up Wednesday to peace and quietness—make it, in short, a sort of Parliamentary Sabbath—and thereby establish a claim to the undying gratitude of the vast majority of their readers. Surely if they get upon their " eloquent legs"—as Counsellor PHILLIPS would say —four days in the week, they have every reason to be satisfied with their good fortune, without encroach ing on the Wednesday ! Madrid papers to the 22d have been received, but they add little to the intelligence published yester day. The Corresponsal states that the English and French Consuls at Carthagena had proceeded to Mur cia on the 17th, for the purpose, it Was supposed, of offering terms of submission on the part of the insur gents. According to the same authority, the blockading force before Carthagena consisted of 4,000 troops of the line and 6,000 National Guards. This is inconsistent with the fact stated in the Ministerial journals, that all the National Guards had been dis armed. The Three per Cents. were done at 301 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 23 for cash, and 221 at 60 days. The affair of Otaheite is the passion of the :day among our . volatile and excitable neighbours. No one talks , or writes about anything else; but, with the exception of a brief statement in the Paris Globe, by no means creditable to a French officer, there is neither argument nor news in the articles on this nine days' 'wonder. "It appears to us evident," says that journal, " that Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, a seaman so distinguished, and so worthy of the esteem of all; was seized with a momentary hallucination, when. he took it into his head that the flag of Queen POMARE, with its closed crown, was an insult to France. It does not appear to us less evident that this his first mistake generated .a second, when the QUEEN, having written a letter addressed to the King of the FRENCII, prayed him to have the kindness to get, it carried to its place of destina tion. The Admiral refused her his direct intervention, and referred the QUEEN to Captain . BRUAT, who had been installed Governor of Otaheite, directing his letter with the address of To MadamePomare! Thus, a French Admiral thought he owed no special respect to a Queen whom, he had just dispossessed ; he refused her, even on the ground of temporary respect, the qualification which he gave her the day before, and which was due to her at least until his acts had been approved of by his Government. It is difficult to comprehend how the Admiral, whose character is honoured by every one, did not perceive that Royalty ali,Vays leaves an august trace on the brow where it has resided; and that the example of the brawlers .f 1793,. who called -the noble and unfortunate MARIE AI4TdINETTR Madame Capet, was not precisely of all historical examples the best and most happy to imitate." The National reckons on a speedy change of Mi nistry, but unfortunately for its party the change would be of nd. service, as it would.only substitute for the " man of Ghent," the' man who has aban doned Ancona. The following are tbe only extracts of the slightest interest from the Journals " The Aube frigate arrived at Brestoi the 24th inst., bring ing home M. Barra., the French Consul• General at ITayti, with 1,600,000 E, paid by the Haytian qovernment as the in- Stalment on the indemnity to the colonists. , As to the loan, the President, not being able to meet tbe payment, h as , says the Monitear Parisien, entered into a solemn engage ment, in' the name of the Republic, to p - ay.the three half years' interest in arrear on the Ist July nat," . , . " The Official Gazette of Naples, of the 16th ult., publishes a Royal decree, reducing the interest of the Neapolitan public debt from live tO four per 'cent. The liohlerS . who 'prefer re= inibursement to the conversion of their stock are to be repaid at par, gradually by lots to be drawn twice a year—viz., June and December ; but they are to be allowed two months after each drawing to accept the conversion, if they should then prefer it to reimbursement. It is intended to extin guish the Five per Cent. Stock by means of the sinking fund ; but, as this amounts to only 800,000 ducats (about 3,400,00009, it will require 33 years to effect the reim bursement, if the holders generally should object to accept the New Four per Cent. Stock." On Wednesday the French Funds were more firm, the Three per Cents, closing at 82f. 35c., and the Fives at 125 f. 75c. THE BOURSE-WEDNESDAY, FEB. 28. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price.

This fine vessel reached Liverpool yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, and brings intelligence six days later. than that brought by the last packet. The discussion on the tariff was still going on in Congress, but without any result. One memorial was presented which is a good omen, and honourable to the Hud son's Bay Company,=• It stated that, from sixty to seventy emigrants to the Oregon had been driven from the territory by the Hudson's Bay men. We have no doubt the Hudson's Bay men will defend their rights, and allow no squatters in their dominions. We see no other intelligence of interest in the papers. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 8. Speculation in Cotton has been so high, and there is so deep a stake, both here and in the South, in the article, that great interest is felt, and the market is in a most excited state. The news, therefore, by the Roscius, being t o the 13th tilt., from Liverpool, was looked for and received with unusual interest. The market had begun to flag, and prices had fallen off from is to per cent. This news being favourable, will have an important influence to revive the spirits of holders.

One writer states :—" Since my last, infor mation has reached me of the release by Moeke of the Loyalist farmers, who had been arrested by him on their way as a deputation to the • British Commissioner at Natal. Their papers were seized and copies taken, but the originals were returned to them, and they were allowed to prosecute their journey. " A fracas had taken place between one of Moeke's and one of Oberhanster's field cornets. The former went to the residence of the latter, by order of Moeke, to take into cus tody an individual charged with treachery towards him. The execution of this order was, however, resisted, a battle with yoke keys ensued, and the upshot of the affray was that the Loyalist field cornet carne off victorious. " The locusts have destroyed all the crops of the emigrant" between the Mod - der river and Philipolis district : Stennen burgh Spruit has also suffered severely. The ravages of this insect in the Colesburgh district have been considerable, though partial."

This morning having been fixed for the re-examination of the persons charged with being concerned in the late ex tensive wills forgeries, the Court was crowded m soon as the doors were opened. The Lord Mayor took his seat upon the bench shortly after eleven o'clock, and almost immediately afterwards William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, Thomas Grilin, and Georgian Dorey, were brought up in the custody of } orester, the officer. The male prisoners were placed in the dock, and the female prisoner was accomodated wit 4 a seat at the table. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor, attended on behalf of the pro secution; Mr. Parry appeared for the prisoner Barber; Mr. Humfrev, the solicitor, tier Fletcher, and Mr. Wolff, the clerk to Mr. plower, of Hatton-garden, for Mrs. Dorey. Mr. Freshfield intimated that he did not intend to offer any additional evidence. . Mr. Parry said, he understood from Mr. Freshfield that it was not the intention of the prosecution to offer any fresh evidence. He had stated on a former occasion that he be lieved the prosecution .was suppressing .a case which, if made public, would raise a strong presumption on behalf of Mr. Barber. It had not been stated at the time that Mr. Barber was not in any way connected with that case. He now, however, stated, anti he trusted it would go forth to the public, that Mr. Barber was not in any way con nected with the transaction to which he had alluded. He wished that case to be brought forward, because it would ap pear that another solicitor had been entrapped in precisely the same manner in which Mr. Barber had been entrapped. A solicitor employed by the Government had been entrapped —the standing counsel of the Bank had been entrapped— the matter had been carried before one of the highest tri bunals in the country, and such had been the consummate art displayed, that all parties had been deceived. With that case Mr. Barber had not been in the remotest degree con nected. Mr. Barber's solicitor had been employed' in tracing out the facts, and had communicated all the information he could obtain on the subject to the prosecution, but Mr Fresh field had not thought it right to bring the case forward. The last fortnight had been consumed in making these in quiries, and there had not been time to prepare Mr. Barber's defence; he therefore asked for a remand over the ensuing Sessions: Mr. Fresh&ld denied that there had been any desire on the part of the prosecution to suppress anything. With re gard to the case of Mary Hunt, Mr. Barber's then solicitor was in possession of all the circumstances of that case two months ago. If Mr. Phillips, who had been called for the proscution, was aware of circumstances favourable for the defence, whose fault was it that those circumstances had not been elicited upon cross-examination? With respect to the supposed case of forgery to which Mr. Parry had alluded, the evidence amounted to this, that a person residing at a house, in the name of a person who had made an affidavit, denied that she had made such affidavit. That was all the evidence in the case. His own supposition was, that a for gery had been committed ; he believed he knew by whom that forgery had been committed, and that individual was dead. Mr. Barber was not in any way connected with the case, and he could not see how it could possibly assist Mr. Barber to have that case gone into. If the request for a remand had been founded simply on the circumstance that there had not been time to prepare the defence, he should not have objected to it, nor did he object to it if it could be proved that delay was necessary. The LORD MAYOR thought he should hot be justified in consenting to a further remand, unless he had the consent not only of the prosecutors but of the other prisoners. Mr. Humfrev, on - behalf of Fletcher, would not oppose the application under the circumstances. Mr. Wolff; on the part of Mrs. Dorey, gave a very reluc tant consent.. Mr. Parry then called Mr. Brumall, the solicitor to Mr: Bar ber who was then examined by Mr. Parry—and deposed that in order to conduct Mr. Barber's defence it was necessary to call witnesses from various parts of the country; that he had not had time to subpoena one half of them, and that there was one most material who was he believed keeping out of the way, in order to prevent his being subpcenaed. Mr. Freshfield having expressed his acquiescence, The Low) lleLtroit remanded the prisoners till the 23d March. The depositions of the witnesses in the case of Mary Hunt having been read, the prisoners were taken back to the Compter in custody of the Foresters. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY). The House sat to-day to hear appeals The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Ldrd Cottenhatn, and Lord Campbell. BYRON V. COOPER. The further arguments in thispart-heard tithe case were re sumed, and occupied their Lordships the whole day. CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) - The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day. " WASTELL V. LESLIE.—JUDGMENT. • The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was heard before his Lordship some time since upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of -England. His Lordship said that the principal question in the case was, as to the mode in which the testator's debts were to be provided for, whether they were to be paid out of the corpus of the estate, or out of the income, so as to fall upon the tenant for life. The Vice-Chancellor of Eng land decided that they were to be paid out of the income, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. Now in his Lordship's opinion whether the debts were to be paid out of the corpus or the income of the estate depended upon the nature of the property, And the terms and construction of the testator's will. The will was to this effect ;- , --The pro perty in question was an old established lunatic asylum at Hoxton. The testator becoming embarrassed in his circum stances, made over his property to trustees, in the first place to pay his debts,lbut reserving to his widow 7001. a-year, after, his. death. 137 his Will he charged his real estate with the pay ment of his debts, and in the event of that not being suffi cient, then the personal estate was to make up the deficiency. He then disposed, of the 7001., and he gave two lega cies' one of 3,000/. to A me li a S m ith, and another. of 5001. to Jonathan Smith, his son ; and he also gave two ' annuities, one to Amelia Smith of 8001., and the other to Jonathan of 1001., directing that they should be paid out of this property; and he then devised this concern to, trustees, the defendants in the suit, upon various trusts. The first was to pay out of the property his debts and legacies, and for that purpose to raise, by way of mortgage, and in no other xnan ! net, the sum of 4,000/. He directs the trustees to car*" on t the concern, and'also to employ 'Mr. Wastell, who had h.' - . therto conducted it, At the same salary ; but, in the event of his not choosing to do so, they are 'to procure another competent person for that pur -1 pose. .He directs the usual accounts of the concern, as hitherto taken, to be continued, and the expenses to be provided for out of the profits, and the surplus to be handed ever to the trustees, who are to invest it ; and out of the in terest and profits of the concern the two annuities are to be paid, and the surplus was given over to Wastell. for life, subject to certain annuities on certain events to his ' two granddaughters, the children of Wastell. Now, under these circumstances, the question at issue depended upon the nature of the property, and the rule adopted by the Court in .'such cases. The rule ,of the Court was, where property . was of a permanent character, yielding an annual income, in the • case where it was charged with debts and an interest given for life to any individual and remainders over, the tenant for life kept down the interest of the debt, and the debt itself was placed upon !the ,corpus of the estate. , The question then was, whether 'this property was permanent or not. His Lordship was of opi linen that It was. It was an old establishment yielding 4,000/. a-year ; it had gone on for a long time doing so, and there was no reason to suppose that it would fail. Then the next question lwas whether there was anything in the will to induce the Court to depart from the usual course in cases of this kind, it did not appear to his Lordship that there was ; and upon 'the whole, after a most careful consideration of all the eir icumstances of the case, his Lordship, considering the jadg 'meat below to be correct, ordered it to be affirmed, and the appeal dismissed with costs. . ,VICE -CHANCERY.- ( THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole :day with unopposed petitions and short causes of no general interest. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) , . TILWAITES V. :MULLETT. Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Hughes for the Ilefendant. ' ! . This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, against the defendant, to recover the sum of 31. I Is. 4d., part f a bill of costs, amounting to 5/. 15s. 4d., 2/. 4s. of which ad been paid into Court. About three years ago the de endint was desirous 'of paSsing through the Insolvent bebtors" Court, and he employed the plaintiff td prepare the necessary documents for that purpose. Subsequently the de fendant found - It to his advantage not to take the benefit of the Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and he accord ingly made a compromise with his creditors. Th e 'Sinn, therefore, for which the action was brought was for disburse ents and other legal charge's made before the compromise, and were certified as correct, by the officers 'of the Insolvent Debtors' Court. On the part of the defendant, it .was contended that fictions for such small amounts ought to be brought in a Court 'of Requests, and.that the unlimited power placed in the hands of solicitorsgave them an opportunity of harrassing end annoying clients who. were unable or unwilling to pay Costs amounting to 101. or ' 12/., which were entailed.upon '4lieni by actions in Superior Courts. The practice was ex qeedingly reprehensible. If the action had been brought in a Court of Requests, the plaintiff would not have received 1 osts, which was his sole object .in bringing the present ction in the _Common Pleas. . • • . The SECONDARY said that whilst .the law gave solicitors the option of.bringing actions in a Superior Court, and by an expensive process, they were not to blame.—Yerdict for the rilaintiff for 31. lls. 4d. 1 i). 'ALICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION HAIL.-(THIS DAY.) ilJane' Griffiths, a masculine-looking Welsh woman, was arged with assaulting her husband, under the following remnstanoes : 1 Thedefendant, who is between fifty and sixty years of age, 'as married three months ago to the complainant, her junior by thirty years, he being her third hu s b an d. S oon a f ter their marriage,. squabbles arose between them, she accusing lihn of infidelity, and .vowing that she would not maintain liim if he did not carry out the milk to the customers. On tie prec-ding day they quarrelled, and the wife attacked him with such fury that in a very short time, according to his statement, she " closed up b o th hi s eyes ," besides throw ing him out of the house "neck and crop." He added that s e was of such a fiery temper that he was absolutely afraid s e would do him some personal iniury if she was not re srained, and that he had not th e smallest control over her. I The defendant, in a 'siro7igWel — siidialeci,sa — id that she deserved to be "hanged" for marrying such a booby as the complainant; that he was an idle and worthless fellow, and no use - on earth to her. The MAGISTRATE said that, the defendant having married the complainant, her property now was his, and that she had right to turn him out. of the house, or to assault him. As she promised, however, not' to repeat'such conduct, she was dboharged. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, attended by the lion.
