FRO3I THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The answer given in the first instance by Sir Robert Peel to Captain Layard, whether Lord De Grey had resigned the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land, is utterly inconsistent with the statement he sub sequently made, upon reflection, to the House. Cap tain Layard's question was propounded in the most plain and intelligible form. It made no allusion to the motives which might have induced the Noble Lord's resignation. It sought an answer—aye, or no—to the inquiry. The anss er given was, " No, Sir, there is no truth whatever in the report that Lord De Grey has resigned." It appears, however, that the • answer which the facts of the case demanded was, " Yes, Sir, Lord De Grey has resigned." The fact of Lord De Grey's resignation could not but be officially known to Lord Eliot. His Lordship declined to answer the ques tion, but referred the inquirer to the " Right lion. Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Government ;" thus shifting upon him the responsibility of a denial, or an admission of the fact, as best pleased him. With characteristic consistency, the Premier did both. He positively denied, amid the cheers of. his adherents, 51 that there was any truth whatever in the report; ' and then, to the surprise of all parties in the House—a , m surprise which seems to have covered his own followers i with confusion, and filled even his opponents with regret 1 —the Right en. Baronet admitted the very fact which ) he had just before asserted to be altogether without i foundation! Anomalies may admit of explanation . ; but 5 that a thing can"be, and cannot be, at the same lime, is t —at least in our view—a contradiction, beyond our 3X ability to harmonise with truth or reason. P r obably Sir 3 i R. Peel is competent to the task. At least, we think, 3 he ought to try. We believe the real state of the case with reference to Lord De Grey's resignation, to he thus: —The disclosure of the secret instru c tions contained in 7 the letter addressed to . the Irish Government by the 0 Home Secretary, respecting the course to be henceforth 5 3 taken with respect to ecclesiastical patronage in Ireland, 2% in connexion with the national system of education in ° LS that country, gave huge offence to the Cabinet, which was 2 strongly expressed to Lord De Grey by the Premier. The hi Viceroy's countenance of the Irish clergy, in their efforts to it to - obstruct and counteract that system, was notorious to ;o all. Lord De Grey tendered his resignation immediately ; . I °, but the State trials, which were then proceeding, ren s° dered it inexpedient, if not dangerous, for a change to to take . place in the Executive until the proceed : ings against O'Connell were brought to a close. to Lord De Grey was therefore • prevailed upon to' re- . 76 main at his post un til th e G overnmen t cou ld ex t r i ca t e 51 itself from the difficulties in which it was: placed by 12% the protracted proceedings in the Irish Queen's Bench, and the blunders in form, and indiscretions in sub stance, which the Crown lawyers, subordinate and princi pal, had committed in managing the prosecution. Lord ,38 ,. De Grey complied with the request, s o f ar as con ti nu i ng tug at his post for a short time ; but refused to withdraw his letter of resignation. This remained in the hands of Sir Robert Peel. The fact of such letter being in the lb . Bight Hon. Baronet's hands would have continued a State inje • secret until the writ of error had been disposed of by the House of Lords, had it not got wind by some mysterious . :means, on this or the other side the Channel, and led to 21% 'Captain Layard's question. This accounts for Lord 3;4 Mliot's declining to answer the inquiry when ad- Idli dressed to him. It also explains Sir Robert Peel's 2 4 7 ' emphatic " No," when the question was unexpectedly I 203 4 addressed to him, and accounts, with no less probabi- s ,, , 1 lity; fur the Right Hon. Baronet's subsequent " explana ' tion to avoid misapprehension," which he gave at a sub sequent • period of the evening. This explanation i amounted; as we have shown, to a palpable contra i diction of the answer he had given to Captain a Layard's question a short time before. The fe verish anxiety displayed by the Premier to put the resignation of Earl De Grey on the ground IC of impaired health, also conducts to, the same con- I L . : elusion. Again, the laboured assurance which he gave the House, that nothing in the state of public affairs had led to the Noble Lord's retirement from the Irish Government, strengthens this view of the- care ; and, Is I coupled with the extraordinary discrepancy in the two 4 , I statements made by the Right Hon. Baronet to the House of Commons, on the same evening, go far, in our 6 view, to establish the explanation we have given of the real cause of Earl De Grey's resignation, and which we Wri believe, on good grounds, to be the tr ue one. STANDARD.—It was intimated last night by Sir w. Robert Peel, that though Earl De Grey has not resigned 14, the Lieutenancy of Ireland, the state of his Excellency's health is unfortunately such as to render his continuance in the offiee, much longer, improbable. Earl De Grey's retirement has . been for some months anticipated, i and anticipated with regret by all men of all parties, except the very worst. The Noble Earl has governed a disturbed country - with unimpeached impartiality and vigilance, and though doubtless the Ministers, whose policy he a'lminis'ered, are entitled to share the praise with - him, he will be long remem bered as the Chief Governor of Ireland, under whose administration the industry and enterprise of the country , were first effectually awakened from their ',. long sleep, we will not say of centuries, but their gi long sleep since the creation. Much of this happy effect of Lord De Grey's government is due to his direct activity, by example and otherwise, but more e 34 "to his firmness tempered with forbearance. Never were r the sua viter in modo, fortiter in re" more happily illus -5 trated in the conduct of public affairs than in his Lord s% sei ship's Government. He has effectually put down, by .1 "the ordinary law," a sedition, before which all his pre -- eee decessors retr e ated, th oug h f or tif y i ng t h emse l ves f rom time to time with extraordinary powers ; and he has ~ accomplished this great object without giving a ; ! pretext of offence to any human being. From the day t :of his Excellency's landing in Ireland to the present al, hour no one has complained of private injury or insult. Many of both the great parties that divide Ireland have been disappointed in their political schemes N , —some have been thwarted in the pursuit of their 1 private objects of ambition, but no man has ; been insulted or injured. The Lord Lieutenant, i therefore, otherwise favourably known by his generosity, 5 charity, hospitality, and truth, is personally a favourite onith all parties—so. easy is it to conquer. prejudice and r e - . even political hostility by good nature, good manne rs , et - and upright dealing. Whenever Lord De Grey shall 's) 'leave Ireland, he will leave the country more in it tesi dustrious and richer, and if not happier, in poc. -3 session of a better security for a happy future, than Ireland has ever been before. It is no doubt true, S some of our Contemporaries deny that the repeal sedi -7 tion has been suppressed ; but, if not s u pp resse d, 19 6 :we ask where is it ? Where are " the monster o :meetings ? " Where the seditious harangues of Mr. zDaniel O'Cor.nell ? " Oh," it is rejoined, " th ese 5 , have no. , doubt been extinguished, but there is an * enormous augmentation in the subscriptions." The Freeman's Journal, however, acknowledges with honest ;s sorrow that this augmentation is by no means a satis efactory symptom- of the progress of r e p ea l, i n ti ma ti ng 3% 34 not very darkly that the most liberal contributors of the 5% present time are paying their unusually large subscrip e n'a tions, in the character of a " final composition," a leave se a taking of the repeal and all its exactions. Even, 1 1 however, should this not be 'the case (though we 134 firmly believe it is), we really see nothing to alarm— re 2 nothing like active sedition—nothing promising a con -2A tinuance of discontent, in th6se subscriptions. A sedi a 5% tion that does nothing but pay money—and vie hear of nothing else in prospect or at present—is not 1 a very formidable sedition. OR the other hand, I!he tax thus imposed upon disaff ec ti on , th oug h self imposed, at least at 'present, is apparently a very ass well contrived means for diminishing the number I of: the disaffected. There must be more truth than we supposed in Swift's bitter maxim, that " proposi : tions true everywhere else are not tru e i n I re l an d," 1 if the eternal cry of Pay, pay, can serve as the r a llyi ng 'i is, cry of a serious rebellion—and this, let it be remem ; bered, is at p resen t th e on ly cry . W e o b serve i n !, the Mor n i ng P ost to -d ay a w hi n i ng lamentation over 11 Mr. O'C onne ll' s i mpr i sonment, which seems to indicate . an intended movement of Young England in that % person's beh a lf. N ow, we look upon all this corn ix, passion as quite out of place. Mr. O'Connell's Imprisonment has been made as gentle as it can be s )5 made a far gentler p un i s h ment t h an that to , N which ten thousand better men must submit for l ' far lighter crimes than his. We make, however, ' - no objection to this. Mr. O'Connell deserves the highest punishment allowed by the law ; but they who IN have been, directly or indirectly, his accomplices have no right to inflict that punishment. Now, every I . Government of the last twenty-five • years has admitted into its councils the Rieht Honour ableo. s Anthony lt. Blake, who. as it now turns 5 , out, has been all a l ong Mr. O'Connell's asso -2% date - and fellow -labourer in politics, and inde pendent of the direct link supplied by Mr. Blake between - Mr: O'Connell wed the Irish Governments 6 IN of twenty-five years, the conduct of thes e successive 6 Governments has, with few exceptions been such 9 % as , to encourage Mr. O'Connell in his resent course. Upon all these considerations, we think 2 that the public has reason to be satisfied that 4% the punishment of the incendiary - has been made 9 as light as is consistent with its safety. To the public safety, however, it is necessary that Mr. O'Con i% nell be restrained by imprisonment from agitating the Pis country at the moment, and that he be rest s rainfi-o l l % agitating it hereafter by heavy securities. The authority ' of the law vindicated, and the peace of the country I secured, nobody need case how the prisoner fares, at s r )i . least we do not care, for peace, not vengeance, is that ) . which we wish to see achieved. While we are upon this subject, we cannot help repeating our opinion that the ise punishment of all the prisoners, except Mr. Daniel ) 34 O'Connell, might be mitigated with advantage to the I, , public.

INGLIS presented a petition from the church wardens and other inhabitants of St. Clement Danes against Sunday trading ; and a petition from the con gregation of Brunswick Chapel, Dover-road, against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. NEW POOR -LAW. Sir WALTER JAMES gave notice, that on an early occasion he should put a question to the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department as to the truth of the statement, that there was in operation any system of denying out-door relief altogether, except in eases %here a certificate should be signed by the em ployer of the labourer, which was said to prevail in the counties of No c rf ( b ) l u k l a i n T d Suffolk. OF QUESTS. Mr. 0. STANLEY," seeing the Right Hon Baronet the Home Secretary in his place, begged to repeat a question he had put to the Right Hon. Gentleman, at an early period of the session. with regard to the prison of the Court of Requests at Birmingham, and also with respect to the prison of the Court of Re quests at Kidderminster, which was stated to be badly constructed, while great complaints were made by the prisoners of the diet, which was only bread and water. He wished to know whether any inquiry had been instituted with respect to the prison at Kid derminster ; whether the Right Honourable Gen tleman, as Home Secretary, had felt satisfied with the correspondence with the authorities at Birmingham, as to the state of the prison there, and if he had instituted any inquiry into the state of the prisons of the Courts of Request in other parts of the kingdom. He wished to know, likewise, whether the Bill brought; into the other House of Parliament (the Abolition elf Imprisonment for Debt. Bill) would do away with these prisons ?. Sir J. GRAHAM said with respect to the prison of the Court of Requests at Kidderminster he had thought it his duty to send down an inspector, for the purp ose of making if' report, which he understood had been completed, but he had not yet received it. With respect to the prison at Birmingham he had not as yet received a satisfactory report. The proper course to be adopted in such a case was to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench, for the Secretary of State had no rower to interfere. With reference to the question of the Honourable Gentleman on the subject of the County Courts Bill, he had to state that there certainly were provisions in the Bill which would remove these objections. But there was before the other House a Bill which went to the abolition of imprisonment for. debt altogether, and if that passed into a law, it would altogether remove the necessity of legislating on this subject. EMIGRATION TO DEMERARA—WEST INDIAN. LOAN. Mr. HAWES seeing the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies in his place, wished to ask him if it was true that her Majesty's Government had received from the Legislature of Demerara an ordinance for the pur pose of raising a loan for the promotion of immigration into the colony, which ordinance was accompanied by another, voting a civil list for a number of years; but this ordinance was contingent upon her Majesty sanc tioning the first ordinance. He also wished to ask whe ther any measures had been adopted with regard to emi gration for India, and he trusted there would b e no ob jection to lay before th e H ouse any documents connected with the subject. Lord STANLEY said the Hon. Gentleman had been correctly informed as to the terms for the vote for an emigration loan for Demerara. He had received that ordinance by the last mail. He stated to the colonial authorities that it appeared to him that the Bill had been passed in great haste, only two days having elapsed between the time of its introduction and the time of its passing, and that as it was clear sufficient time had not been afforded for the colony to express its opinion on the subject, he should postpone submitting' the ordinance to her Majesty, until the colony had had an opportunity of expressng its opinion. All the papers relating to emigration to the West Indies had been laid before the House with the exception of one dispatch, and that he had no objection to lay before the House. With regard to emigration from India, a correspondence had been going on with the Governor- General on the subject ; and he could state that a mea sure, requiring that a certain number of females should accompany every batch of emigrants from India was at present under consideration ; but the question had not been decided as yet, because great difficulty existed in prevailing on respectable females to ac company their husbands in these emigrations ; and if it were insisted on that a - certain number of females should accompany each batch of emigrants, the class of females who would so accompany them would not be likely to conduce to the reputation of the country for morality.—(A laugh.) With regard to the ordinance for the civil list it certainly depended on the other ordinance, but the civil list related to the year 1847, so that there was ample time to take it into consideration. FEES TO CLERKS OF THE PEACE. Mr. B. ESCOTT wished, in order to prevent mis apprehensions, that the Right Hon. Secretary for the explicitlyghtrelated to a totally state that the Bill to which llurri e dif ferent class of fees than those to whi c h h e (M r. E scott ) hDeenpaardtment alludeds vo l u a l s d t ni had alluded, and the receiving of which was at present illegal. Sir J. GRAHAM agreed that the fees to which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had alluded were illegal. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Sir G. CLERK, it was agreed that the House, as its rising, do adjourn till Monday. MEDICAL PROFESSION. Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from an Hon. Member, stated, that he should certainly intro duce the Bill for the regulation of the Medical Profes sion during the present session. Whether he should be able to pass it would be another question.--(A laugh.) ABINGDON ELECTION. Mr. CHRISTIE, seeing the Solicitor-General in his place, wished to put to him a question. It would be in the recollection of the House that the Government had introduced a Bill for the disfranchisement of the borough of Sudbury on account of bribery. He wished to ask if it was true that, at the recent electron for Abingdon, the newly-elected Member had at his chairing distributed 501. among the crowd from a bag of money in his lap ? The following account of the chairing had appeared in the newspapers. (Here the Honourable Gentleman commenced read ing a description of the, chairing of the Solicitor-. Genera It stated that the procession started from the Town Hall, which consisted of a brass band, with twenty pensioners. The Solicitor-General sat in a chair ornamented with flowers and ribbons ; the chairing of a Member was considered important, for it was customary for the gentlemen who were elected to take a bag of silver Money with them, which they distributed among the crowd: One' gentleman, Mr. Mabberley, distributed 1201. in this way, Mr. Duffield not more than 701—(A laugh) -and the Learned Solici tor-General threw away but 50/. It was amusing to see the old women holding out their aprons to receive the money which the Hon. and Learned Member, like an elegant gentleman as he was, threw away.—(A laugh.) There was a great deal of scrambling, scratching, shout ing, and fighting, such a scene took place as baffled all description, and Oils terminated the Abingdon election.) —(Much laughter.) lie (Mr. Christie) believed that the words of the late Act of Parliament did not apply to the custom of " scramble-money," but one could see that with a little arrangement it could be converted to the purpose of direct bribery. It could not, at all events, tend to exalt the purity of election ; and he therefore begged to ask the Hon. and Learned Gentle man, whether it was true or false that he contributed, in the wanner he had just described, to promote the purity of Parliamentary election ?—(Hear, hear.) The SOLICITOR -GENERAL said that a very in correct and, he believed, irregular practice had been intro duced into that House of putting questions not relating to matters before the House, or with regard to Bills with which Members might be charged, but upon matters wholly foreign to it, and occurring in a different place, and which might excite the curio:ity of Hon. Members. The lion. and Learned Gentleman, it was true, gave him notice of his intention to put this question so long ago as yesterday week, but circumstances prevented him (the Solicitor-General) being in his place at the time for asking questions. He had, however, hoped that the opportunity afforded the Honourable and Learned Gentleman in the interval for reflection, would induce him to consider what extreme impropriety there was—(Oh, oh !)—in putting a question of this description. lie certainly should not give sanction to the practice w hich had been introduced ; and, therefore, he begged leave most distinctly, at the same time with out any want of respect for the lion. and Learned Gen= tleman, to decline answering such a question. Mr. CHRISTIE said that the liOn. and Learned Gentleman could take what course he liked, either to answer or not the question which he -had put ; but he put it to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman as a Mem ber of her Majesty's Government. which brought in a Bill to disfranchise Sudbury.--(Cheers.) COMMONS' INCLOSURE BILL. In answer to a question from Lord J. MANNERS, respecting the Commons' Inclosure Bill, The Earl of LINCOLN said that it was not true that the Government had taken charge of the Bill. 0n Monday, were the probably, h e wou ld b e a bl e to state what the intentions of the Government with regard to it, as he intended before then to have an interview on.the subject with the Noble Lord who introduced it. NATIONAL EDUCATION IN. IRELAND. Mr. SHEIL wished to know from the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the GoVernment whether he had given any directions to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland with regard to the distrib u ti on of the patronage of th e Church with regard to education. . Sir R. PEEL said he did not know upon what the ques tion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was founded, and what he stated :to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire land was • that he was desirous that the patronage of the Irish Church should be appropriated to them who had the best claims on the ground of professional merit and character, and that he hoped he should never hear a word respecting any appointment on political grounds. He gave his cordial approbation to the system ofNational schools, but it was untrue that he desied the Lord Lieutenant to require any test on the subject of eduction. He would again caution Honourable Gentlemen not to place implicit credit in reports which appeared in news papers.—(Hear, hear.) SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. GREENE brought up the report on the sugar duties. Mr. EWART said that, in the absence of the Hon. Member for Montrose, who, not being able to attend himself, had requested him to embody the motion of which he had given notice, he begged to move that slave and free labour sugar might be admitted into this country on the payment of equal duty. Ile (Mr. Ewan) objected to the. Bill of the Government, because it was uncertain, and the merchants of the country would not know how to act. under it.- -He also ob jected to the Bill, incense it • left a discre tionary power in the hands of the Government. They had. in vain endeavoured to put down the slave trade, by means of gun-boats, and of treaties with foreign states. Sir Thomas Powell Buxton, and, in fact, nearly all persons who had .‘vritten on the subject, acknowleged the inefficiency of such proceedings. With whatever object the Bill might have been framed, it was based on false principles. Such, briefly, were the reasons which led him to bring this subject before the House. He called on the Goverment to adopt one of two alternatives —either to define on what terms they intended to admit foreign free-labour sugar, or at, once to adinit foreign slave-laboor. sugar. The ques tion was not one of party, but strictly one of principle, and as - such he entreated the Muse to Consider it. Hd begged leave, therefore, to move—" That, slave and free labour sugar be admitted upon the payment of equal duties." Mr. JAMES said he deeply regretted that the Hon. Member for Montrose, who ha,d,put this notice upon the paper, was prevented by domestic affairs from attending in his place thatevening. Thepresent motion wasneither more nor less than the motion which had been brought for ward on a form er occas i on and ha d been them disposed of. And how did the Hon. Member for Montrose speak and vote upon that occasion. Why lie spoke against it, and he voted against it. He. said it was impossible • for the West India colonies to compete with, the foreign growers of sugar, tied up as they were. If any thing, then, could astonish hiin (Mr. James) at, his time of life, and after all he hid seen, it was to find that Hon. Member putting on the paper such a notice as this. He recommended the adoptin g measures that ' should insure a 'supply of free labour to the West India colo nies, and suggested that the Government should' afford the planters a supply of convict labour. Many parts of the colonies were healthy; the expense of the transport would be less, while the punishment would- be greater. He stated that convict labour was thus employed in Bermuda. He could not support the motion, and. de nounced it as unjust. Mr. BARCLAY said it was impossible for the colony to prosper till this question was finally settled, and he hoped the present arrangemeht would be definitive for a great number of years. As long as they were exposed to these harrassing discussions, capital would be prevented from going into the colonies. The House then divided, and the numbers were— For receiving the report • .183 For Mr. Ewart's amendment Majority for Ministers ---1 18 Lord J. RUSSELL wished to - know when the Right Hon. Baronet intended to proceed with the Bill. Sir R. PEEL said, in case there should be a disposi tion to enter into a lengthened discussion upon the Bill on Monday, he proposed that the Bank charter should have precedence on that day, and that the further con sideration of the sugar duties should be . postponed till Thursday. He would name Monday for the third read ing of the Bill with that understanding. The report was then received, and the Bill was or dered to be engrossed, and read a third time on Monday. (LEFT SITTING.) • HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships assembled at five o'clock. The Earl of WICKLO W presented two petitions from Cork, in favour of the Birkenhead Docks Bill. Lord COMBERMERE presented a petition from Cheshire in favour of protection to agriculture. DON CARLOS. The Marl of CLARENDON, after referring to a cor respondence which had taken place between Don Carlos and the Noble Earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, with reference to a proposal of Don Carlos ft the mar riage of his son to the Queen of Spain, expressed a wish to have some explanation on the matter from her Ma jesty's Government. He wished to know if her Ma jesty's Government had any objection to produce the correspondence which had taken place on the subject ? The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that whatever part her Majesty's Government might take with respect to the marriage of the Queen of Spain, due atttention would be paid to the honour and independence of that country. It was perfectly true that a Noble Lord had submitted to him (the Earl of Aberdeen) a letter from Don Carlos, in which his Royal Highness referred to the Noble Lord bearing the letter as being in possession of his (Don Carlos s) intentions, and of the sacrifices which he was inclined to make for the pacification of Spain. That Noble Lord stated that Don Carlos was ready to relin quish his claim to the Spanish throne upon his son's marriage with Queen Isabella. Whether the Queen was to marry his son as a subject, or as sove reign, he (the Earl of Aberdeen) could cot say. Upon receiving this communication, he had im mediately informed the Spanish Government of it, but he had not thought it his duty to press for an answer. He did not think it was expedient to pro duce the correspondence which had taken place. Several petitions in favour of the legalization of Pres byterian mixed marriages were presented. LAW OF LIBEL BILL. Lord CAMPBELL postponed the discussion on this Bill until the third reading, in consequence of the absence of Lord Denman. The report on the Bill was then brought up. DEBTORS AND CREDITORS BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the third reading of this Bill. The object of the Bill was to amend the Bill by which the arrest in mesne process was abolished. That Act had been found to be defective in many of its parts, and it was t o r e me dy th e ev il s w hi c h were complained of. The Bill was also intended to reach the culpable debtor, while it would give protection to the unfortunate one. There were cases in which this Bill would retain the system of imprisonment for debt, but in substance this system, by this Bill, would be abolished. The Bill would only retain it in very extreme cases, or in cases of absolute and distinct fraud ; and against a contumacious debtor. Under the former Bill on this subject which he had introduced in P 342, not less a sum of money than two millions had been distributed amongst creditors. He therefore had great confidence in the present Bill, seeing that the last had worked so well. He said they ought to abolish imprisonment in all cases where the debtor could show that he was an unfortunate, and not a guilty or contumacious debtor. His Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Cottenham) had intro duced a Bill on this subject, but his Noble and Learned Friend proposed to abolish imprisonment for debt in in all cases absolutely ; and he proposed that in the case of a frat denit debtor, the insolvent should be indicted. This provision never could be carried into effect, as very few creditors would be found to prosecute; whereas the provision in his (Lord Brougham's) Bill would carry itself into effect.

(Middlesex Sittings at Nisi Prins before Lord Chief Justice Tow- if. and a Special Jury.) THOMAS v. DUNN. This action was brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendant, the proprietor of the Chinese Exhibition, com pensation in damages for the breach of an agreement, by which he agreed to give him six guineas a week for the su perintendence of the exhibition so long as the exhibition should continue in existence. The defendant pleaded, first, that the alleged agreement was a forgery; secondly, that it had been superseded by a subsequent agreement ; and, thirdly, that it had been ob tained from him by fraud and covin. Mr. Dunn is proprietor of the Chinese Exhibition, at Knightsbridge ; the plaintiff a gentleman who has for many years been connected with public exhibitions in this country. According to the plaintiff's evidence, Mr. Dunn, who is an American, came to England in 1841, and being anxious to exhibit the Chinese articles which he had purchased during a residence in China, and had been exhibited for some time previously at Philadelphia, and being unacquainted with the mode of carrying out his object, applied to Mr. Catlin. the proprietor of the American exhibition, at the Egyptian Hall, with whom he was acquainted, to recommend him some person who had a knowledge of such, to make the necessary arrangements, finding a suitable building, and carrying out the other measures requisite to render the undertaking suc cessful. WS led to the connection with Mr. Thomas. Thee e, on the part of the defendant was, that the agree ment was a forgery, and a variety of facts was adduced to prove it. It was admitted that the plaintiff had been em ployed as agent by the defendant in order to make the first arrangements for the erection of .the building, and to super intend all the out-door matters connected with the e.xhibi tion, after it was opened ; but it was denied that he was to be the superintendent of it, inasmuch as Mr. Langdon, who had been in China with Mr. Dunn, and had been the curator of it in Philadelphia, had been engaged, and had proceeded to England with Mr. Dunn to superintend it here. And in -order to show the extreme improbability of the agreement ever having been given, several letters were put in, written by the plaintiff to the defendant, after he alleged the agree ment had been signed and delivered over to him. The plaintiff called several lithographers, in reply, to prove that the signatures were in a natural hand-writing, and that it was impossible any tracing could have taken place, as theydid, not correspond, some of the letters being larger in the one case :than the other, and sloped •in a different direction. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and said that the - second and third pleas of the defendant, which related to the agreement having been set aside ,by the making of another agreement, and to it having been obtained by fraud, must be found for the plaintiff; as no evidence had been offered in support of them, but the first plea was the material issue, which alleged that the ag reemen t was a forgery. They must take the documents into their hands, and consider whether hi their opinion the evidence which had been given by the witnesses called for the defendant in respect of them, was borne out by the fact. They would also look to the circum stances surrounding the transaction, and determine upon the probability or improbability of the existence of the alleged agreement. If they thought the agreement was, as the de fendant imputed, a forgery, then they need not trouble them selves to considek the question of damages, as the defendant would be entitled to their verdict; but if, on the contrary, they should be of opinion that it was a genuine document, they would then give a verdict for the plaintiff, with such damages as they believed would compensate him for the loss he had sustained by being discharged from the defendant's service. The jury retired at seven o'clock to consider their verdict, and at ten minutes to nine returned into Court, finding for the defendant on the first plea, and for the plaintiff .on the second and third pleas. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Josiah Brodwick or Broderick, a labouring man, living in Crown-street, Soho, was charged on the police sheet with having wounded his wife, Margaret, with a razor. It appeared that about nine o'clock on Wednesday night screams of murder were heard issuing from the house occu pied by the prisoner and his wife.' When the room was en tered, the prisoner was found with his arms round his wife, who was bleeding from a severe wound on the arm. The woman, at first, said her husband had inflicted it with ,a razor, which was found on the floor covered with blood, but afterwards declared she had wounded herself; because her husband had packed up his clothes with the intention of de serting her. The policeman who took the man into custody produced a surgeon's certificate, stating that the woman was too much injured to apnear at present. The wound extended from the upper part of the arm to below the elbow, and some of the muscles were completely severed. The prisoner declared that he never injured man, woman, or child ,in his . life. When his w if e cu t h erse lf with the razor he seized her,in order to prevent her from doing herself more mischief. Mr: HARBWICK ordered the prisoner to be remanded until the wife could come forward to give her evidence. Mr. William Wake, a young gentleman, giving his address at the Albion Hotel, Cockspnr-street, whose very green waistcoat, high shirt collar, and tout ensemble, indicated that he was rather "fresh upon town," charged one Miss Caro line Field, of the Cornwall-road, with having abstracted from his pocket his canary bandana. Mr. Wake said, he went into the Haymarkett - Saloon fur refreshment, and, having been invited into the bar by Mrs. Harris, the proprietress of the place, he ordered a bottle of champagne and a cigar. After smoking his weed and seeing the bottom of his bottle, lie called for some tea. When the tea was dispatched he prepared to leave the saloon, as it was three, or four, or it mi g ht be five o'clock. at which time there was only himself, the prisoner, and the waiter in the saloon, though at one period of the night it had been toler ably full of ladies and gentlemen. On a sudden he missed his handkerchief, and feeling assured it had been taken either by the waiter or the prisoner, he complained to Mrs. Harris, who ordered a search to be made, and the handkerchief was found in a drawer in the kitchen: The prisoner had gone down stairs after the handherzhief was missed, and he pre sumed she must have taken that opportunity of placing the property where it had been found. Mr. MALTBY—Were you quite sober? Mr. Wake-Oh, dear yes. Why, I had only one glass out of the bottle of champagne. The rest was all drank up by the girls about me. Mr. MALTBY—Did the prisoner have any of it ? Mr. Wake —She had a glass with the rest. The doorkeeper was called to prove that the prisoner had been seen to enter the kitchen, but he declared he was too drowsy at the time to notice anything. The waiter was called to prove the same thing, but he de clared he did not think the prisoner could possibly have taken the handkerchief, as he was close to her all the time. It had, perhaps, been taken by some other girl, out of a lark. Mr. Wake—l shall ask this waiter a few questions. !Now then, you are on your oath, tell me do you think I'm made of glass? Waiter—l don't mean to say you are. Mr. Wake—Then, as you were on one side of me and the girl on the other, it's impossible you could have seen her " bone" my handkerchief, if I ain't made of glass. Mr. MALTBY—I don't think you make out your case. Mr. Wake—There's an evident attempt to crush the evi dence—there's a plot to smuggle up the fact, but I know you'll deal with the charge in a proper manner. Mr. MALTBY—I dismiss the case. Mr. Wake walked out of Court, looking very much of a piece with his waistcoat. • . THE POLISH BALL. We (Post) copy the following from the Hamburgh Borsenhalle, of June 14, as received from that paper's London correspondent, without, however, in the least, guaranteeing the authenticity of the document:— " LONDON,' JUNE 11.—The Duchess of Somerset, whose name stood at the head of the list of ladies who patronised the Polish Ball, which took place yesterday, had addressed a note to Baron Brunnow, the Russian Minister here, expressing her regrets, and the willing ness of the Lady Patroness to postpone the ball t) a fu ture day, if the Emperor should wish it. By his Im perial Majesty's command the Duchess received the following reply:— " Windsor Castle, 3une 5. " My DEAR DITCUESS,—A thousand thanks for your friendly communication with regard to the Charity Ball which is to take place on Monday, the 10th instant, for the purpose of assisting Poles in distress residing in this country. I have not failed to lay before his Majesty what you have been kind enough to say on the subject. Before, however, I did so, I felt quite sure of his Ma jesty's intentions, and I am now extremely happy to be authorised to communicate to you, my dear Duchess, that the benevolent object which the ladies of the Ball Committee have in view, cannot possibly meet with any kind of objection. His Majesty is not personally ac quainted with the ladies at the head of the Committee; but, as to the benevolent institution itself, I have only to inform you, that in case the subscription list has not closed yet, and an additional sum to the funds at your disposal should be desirable,- or requisite, I have been commanded to sign my name for any sum which you may think proper to mention, for the fulfilment of your benevolent intentions.—Yours, &c. (Signed) ." BRUNNOW. "'her Grace the Duchess of Somerset.' " IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 20. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. =Mr. M. O'CONNELL presented 49 petitions from Ireland in favour of a repeal of the union. SUGAR DUTIES.; Mr. GLADSTONE said, that although the Right Hon. Gentleman recommended his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) not to discuss the question on this clause, he could not resist the temptation of stating in very glowing language what were the arguments against the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) An observation had been made about the Government shifting their ground. He begged -to tell the Noble Lord that he was able to give a confident denial to that statement, and the Government were prepared to meet the Noble Lord's objections point by point, whenever it would be con venient.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Montrose had attributed to him (Mr. Gladstone) the having complained of being catechised on the subject of this Bill. He was not aware that he had made any such complaint, but certainly he must observe, that with respect to the sugars of France, Austria, and Northern Germany, that, as those countries had barely enough to supply their own wants, he did not think it necessary to provide for any contingency aris ing from those quarters. The matter, however, was entirely at the discretion of the-Government. Mr. F. BARING said the clause gave to the Go vernment the power to admit sugar which they felt satisfied was the produce of free labour. Under these circumstances, they (the Opposition) asked the Go vernment to have the goodness to explain what they meant by the produce of free labour, in order that they might ascertain how they were likely to exer cise the power which was vested in them. The Right Hon. Gentleman replied that he could not give any definition. He thought, putting the whole subject together, the Government ought to tell them what were the species of sugar they intended to admit. Mr: GLADSTONE defended the course the Go vernment had pursued. Mr. P. M: STEWART would confine himself strictly :o the question before the Committee. The more this ." was discussed the more evident were its defects— the more clear it became that the measure was wholly indefensible. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite ac cused him of resorting to fallacy for the purpose of making out a case of slavery against Java, but the Right Hon. Gentleman ought to know that all th e goods that came f rom Java .to the produce of forced labour —or, if they pleased, of modified slavery. from which there was no escape without payment of a ransom.—(Hear, hear.) That was the real state of the case, and he was sure that if the Right Hon. Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade was fully aware of the facts, he would not include Java in the category of free-labour states. As for excluding the sugar of Brazil, and other slave states, from British consumption, he was aware of a recent case which proved that 'it was impos sible. A ship, with a large cargo of sugar, arrived at Liverpool frcni Brazil, which was re-shipped in the Aus tralia and sent out to Bombay, where it was by this time in the course of consumption by British subjects.— (Hear, hear.) Sir W. JAMES said that he did not know in what way the Government intended to proceed, and until he did so, he could not conscientiously vote with them.— (Cheers and a laugh.) He wished to know whether he was right in supposing that they Bill was not to be a per manent measure. Sir R. FEEL had stated in the debate op Monday . night that it might he necessary, after the 10th of. 0 vember next, when the Brazilian treaty would exPlre, , , r take the whole subject of the sugar duties into cons ration ; but in the present state of slavery exisr o t Cuba and Brazil, her Majesty's Government di . .Lose think it was advisable to encourage the sugar of those countries. He would not pledge himself that the '- was to be permanent. s,....sset Lord LIOWICK thought the Right Hon. Ps' s be was wise in not pl e dging himself that the Bill shoal da permanent--(Laughter)—for he thought it w t.‘srs ,) very doubtful that it would not now miscarry.--(C7t the The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had Government possessed information respecting the '.!,', of servitude in Java, from which they were able to say duce u that the sugar of that island was not the pre , fro m slave labour. Why was that information withheld the House ?—(Cheers.) 1 'eel. Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. P. M. STEWART "P al to de" Mr. HUME wished the Right Hon. Gentleman ~eto, said th sta te fine what free-labour sugar was, and whether *try in whicii slavery did not exist sugar to our markets?—(Mr. Hume then sat down , sj ing for an answer, but nobody rising to give any ) '; re ally The HoN. MEMBER again ruse, and said that it.wa' is b e shameful that so important a clause as this shoal,' bungled and slurred over in such a manner. There was still a pause. Mr. SHEIL rose, and said he thought the nig oug ht Gentleman, the President of the Board, of Trad:_ tain i f to answer the query of his Hon. Friend. was entitled It whether era° was important for the Committee to know whe t " - slavery did exist in Cochin China. Mr. GLADSTONE said that the Government Su s re . not in possession of sufficient information o n the not ject to say whether the sugar in Cochin-China was raised by slave labo ur . „ Gen . Mr. SHEIL said the answer of the Right tel °ll ' ill 'DV tleinan showed how necessary it was that prope r . s uch e oh should be made before the House proceeded to g iv de It large discretionary powers to the Board of Tr° o gee was quite plain that Government was not in possae to of sufficient information to ena ble the House to °,, o ; aid s aw , t t a conclusion of so m uc h i m p or t ance a s that to " were now asked to ar r i ve a t.

Therefore, under this Bill, ol d o elf instances referred to, the proper authorities WO ta stif have to do that which they were accustomed to . .q TA' other occasions. The Right Hon.
