This important line will commence at the city of Worcester, and be carried near Tenbury to its termination at Ludlow ; leaving the Vale of the Severn, it will reach, with an easy sweep, the Teme Valley, and running up the course of the Teme, will pursue through out the greater portion of its course a water level. As an independent line, it affords no ordinary facilities for cheap and speedy formation, and being carried through a rich, fertile, and populous country, will be able to furnish a traffic table sufficient for the purposes of ample remuneration to the Shareholders. As a junction line, and forming a portion of that great chain of communication between the metropolis and Porthdynllaen, which will eventually become the ordinary and nearest route to Ireland, it is not easy to calculate its advantages. A straight line, drawn from London to Porthdynllaen, will pass near to the towns of Worcester, Tenbury, Ludlow, and Newtown, showing that this railway must necessarily be a portion of a grand trunk line. On the completion of the railways projected to Newtown, it wlll necessarily be the medium of transit for all passengers going to the northern and central parts of Wales ; it will bring the woollens of Montgomeryshire to London and the east, and on the carrying out the projected Newtown and Porthdynllaen line, it will be the high road between London and Dublin. This Company is strictly independent, and unconnected with any other. It will reserve to itself the power of continuing its course to the Craven Arms and Newtown, should the projected line to New town fail to obtain an Act of Parliament, and also to extend its course beyond Newtown to Porthdynllaen, and to raise any addi tional capital requisite to perform these several extensions. As an investment of capital there can be no superior one. Worcester, from its situation on the rich Vale of the Severn, from its population, wealth, and manufactures, must naturally become the most important centre from which all lines from the metropolis, hav ing North Wales, part of South Wales, and Ireland, as their objects of communication, eventually converge. There are no difficult earthworks or tunnels on the line. The gradients are easy, for a greater part of the distance on a water level. A survey has been made. In the allotment of shares, every preference will be given to par ties locally interested ; and in setting out the line, the greatest atten tion will be given, as far as possible, to respect ornamental property, gentlemen's grounds, &c. The principal part of the influential landowners, between Worces ter and Porthdynllaen, have expressed their unqualified approbation of the railway and its objects, and have promised their most ener getic support. Powers will be taken in the Act to adopt the atmospheric mode of of traction, if it should be fund requisite. The liability of shareholders will be limited by the Act to the amount of their several subscriptions. Applications for shares must be made in the form appended at the Offices of the Company ; to the Solicitors ; or to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Sharebrokers, Threadneedle-street, London. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the Worcester, Tenbary, and Lud• low Railway. Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot me shares, of 501. each, in the above proposed Railway, and I undertake to pay the deposit of 21. 15s. per Share thereon, or on any less number you may appropriate to me, and to exeoute the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract when required. Dated this day of 1845. Name In full Residence Trade or Profeesioa in full RetVrence WORCESTER, TENBURY, and LUDLOW RAILWAY. The Provisional Committee of this Railway have great pleasure in informing.the numerous applicants for Shares therein, that in conse quence of a Committee of the House of Commons having decided in favour of the Railway to * Worcester, this railway will commence at the terminus of that line, and will form a most important section of the grand trunk line which will connect London with Dublin. It is supported by the entire landed proprietors along the line. No applications for Shares will be received after THURSDAY, the 12th inst. By order, WILLIAM PULSFORD, Sec. Offices, 54, Moorgate-street, London, June 7,1845. A ONDON, SALISBURY, AND YEOVIL JUNCTION RAILWAY. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. The Provisional Committee of the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction Railway beg to inform the Shareholders that, no arrange ments having been effected with the Exeter, 'Yeovil, and Dorchester Company, they will shortly publish a Prospectus for an extension of their own line from Yeovil to Exeter, thereby securing the important and much-desired object of a DIRECT LINE FROM LONDON TO EXETER. They have the pleasure to add, that they are co-operating with in fluential parties to carry on the line from Exeter, through the centre of Cornwall to Penzance, with branches to Plymouth, Falmouth, and other places, thus forming a direct line of communication, and esta blishing the shortest route from LONDON TO PENZANCE. The details of these arrangements will appear in a few days. By order of the Committee, L. CROMBIE, Secretary. 63, Moorgate-street, June 11, 184 t. THE WEATHER.—Sus OFFICE, JUNE 12.

',ECOND EDITION.. entn un LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1845. The House of Lords did not meet yesterday. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. The Statute Labour (Scotland) Bill passed through Committee. Mr. LIDDELL moved the second reading of the Dog. stealing Bill. Mr. HUME thought persons should take proper care o' their dogs, and moved, as an amendment, that the Ba be read a second time that day six months. whatever at home deserving our care) on anti-slavery squadrons, for watching half the coasts of the world ; on mixed Commission Courts, for trying the cases of captured slave ships ; on compensation to the owners, whose captured ships had eluded the condemnation of the Courts ; on support to the Africans we have libe rated ; and on other parts of the costly slave-trade suppression machinery. On these and similar devices we have annually expended about half a million of money, and in some years we have maintained them at even double that expense. In 1839, Sir FOWELL BUXTON calculated that the aggregate expenditure of Great Britain, on slave-trade suppression alone—to say nothing of the enormous sum paid for eman cipating the West Indian negroes—exceeded 15,000,0001. sterling ! Doubtless, this is a wise, judicious, and honest application of public money. Who can ques tion it ? We have no sufferers at home on whom these millions could, in any way, have been bene ficially bestowed. We have long covered our land with well-appointed schools for the instruction of our la bcurers—we have thrown open throughout the country baths, gardens, grounds for recreation and amusement, where the toiling millions of our crowded and smoke dried towns may feel the invigorating influence of healthful exercise and innocent excitement. We have abundantly provided them with ventilation and whole some water within their dwellings, and drainage and other sanatory contrivances without. Expense never deterred us from zealously pursuing the first of our interests, the first of our duties, and the greatest of all charities—the moral and physical improve ment of our industrious poor. Towards them we have long since discharged every obligation ; Great Britain has no taxes, cramping and ob structing the exertions of industry or seducing the peasantry to the desperate immoralities of smuggling, which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER professes the beggar's inability to redeem. Our Excise and Customs duties are no where a tribute wrung from misery—they are the cheerful contribution of a grateful people, grateful for parental protection and good govern ment aff)rded them in substance and not in name. Examine those lanes and alleys of misery which in the great seats of British commerce used to huddle together so large a portion of the whole populat'on. Visit now the narrow and deadly coal-beds of Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Scotland, the factories of Manchester, and the cheerless hovels of Dorset—as suredly no human victims are there. The happy condi did, all idea of looking to any " powerful protection out the House." The Bill was supported by Captain BERKELEY and Major BERESFORD, and opposed by Mr. WARBURTON. Sir Jas. GRAHAM would vote for the second reading, re serving to himself the right of examining the details of the Bill before going into Committee. tion of the men, women, and children of our own coun try leave nothing for justice or generosity to bestow, and it is, therefore, only proof of designing clamour or ignorant impatience of taxation to hesitate about squan dering our money on the suffering people of Africa. We bow to the truth. We humbly admit our ignorance and proneness to error, but being vulgar and arithmetical in our habits we wish to see the credit as well as the debit side of our accounts. Since we can do no good with our money at home, we shall not object to " the wisdom of Parliament" sending it abroad, only we like to have something to show in exchange for it. Spend it, there fore, great lords and gentlemen, spend it in suppressing the slave-trade, only hand over your vouchers, and show us that you have suppressed the slave-trade by spending our money. We have heard it said that you are prac tising a delusion—that the slave-trade, so far from being suppressed by your philanthropy, never was more active, more cruel, more destructive of human life, than it is now, after forty years' trial of your system. This is a very serious matter. Are we really playing over again the game of the fanatical LAS Cans, and has all he treasure and humanity we have lavished upon Now this is all matter of very legitimate statement for any Peer or any Member of Parliament, in the inde pendent discharge of his important trust and duty, to take care that the public money be disbursed only under the control, through the instrumentality, within the cog nisance, and by responsible officers only, of the appoint ment of the Legislature, or of the Government, under its sanction. But it is very essential that there should be no misconception in respect of so important a principle. Its enunciation should not be confounded with any intention to manifest personal dis respect for his Royal Highness—an intention which must be quite foreign to the desire of Lord BROUGHAM, or any other Peer. But it is really high time, as we before argued, to impress Mr. BARRY with the convic tion that his primary object should be to consult the in terests of the public in the speediest possible accomoda tion of the Legislature, not the making provision and providing scope for the development of artistical objects, or purposes, interesting and even important as acces sories, but altogether subsidiary and secondary to the completion of the general fabric, to such an extent as to allow of the dispatch of business. Now, Mr. BARRY'S irregular defence, in his letter to Lord WIIARNCLIFFE, and that Nobleman's remarks in support of such defence, were addressed specifically to the remarks that had fallen from the Learned ex-Chancellor. But Lord BROUGHAM said there was not a single Peer of the Lords' Committees, or of those who had sat with him on the subject of his complaint, who did not concur in every word of his state ment. Accordingly, we find the Marquis of CLANRI CARDE complaining that the House (of Peers) appeared to possess very little power or con trol in this matter to accelerate the progress of the structure, or to obtain satisfaction from Mr. BARRY ; that Mr. BARRY had, in almost those words, told them so when under examination. The Noble Marquis animadverted on the fact, that the only reason assigned for the perpetual delays of the often promised term at which the Lords should be accommo dated within the new walls was, the desire to meet the views of the Commission on Fine Arts ; but " that the Fine Arts should be made subservient to the accommoda tion of the Parliament—not that of Parliament to the Fine Arts." Nothing, certainly, can be more reason able than this proposition ; but we must enter our pro test against the assumption that the cause of the Fine Arts is to be served by the over-done tracery, and endless badges, and blazonry, and those " heraldic ano malies" we indicated in a former article, to the comple tion of which Mr. BARRY and the Fine Arts' Commission appear to attach a paramount importance over every other object to be accomplished on that national fabric. Now, we can imagine nothing so corrupting to any true taste for " Fine Art" as the overlaid display, or elabo rate sculpture, of interminable quarterings, devices, crests, mottoes, and supporters, which fritter away the majesty that would otherwise attach to so vast an extent of frontage as that which Mr. BARRY has raised on the banks of the river. The tracery, properly so called, from the great scope afforded for various and symmetrical design, is of course not liable to this objection. It was not without reason that Lord CAMPBELL contrasted the expedition with which Mr. HianwicKE had raised the beautiful Tudor Hall for the Society of Lincoln's Inn, commenced only a year and a half ago, and to be entered upon by the Society in about a month from this time, with the tedious procrastination of Mr. BARRY'S work, magnificent and vast though it be. The great reason for urging Mr. BARRY to accele rated progress remains to be noted ; and it clearly is— the little confidence which the public can repose in Mr. BARRY'S abstinence from unnecessary, and even un authorised expense—whilst his works are still only in progress towards completion, after the memorable affair of the new gallery, the most costly and unwarrantable excrescence ever superadded to the execution of a settled and authorised design for any public building in England. , - the negro only proved to him a source of fresh and aggravated calamity ? Let as examine the authorities on this subject. By authorities we do not mean the statements of economists and mal-contents, however well they may have qualified themselves to pronounce upon the question. Our autho rities shall be men who are above every suspicion of un duly preferring the interests of England to what is called the great cause of negro happiness and civilization. Such witnesses as are without exception What says FOWELL BUXTON on this subject ? We are quoting from his book published in 1840 :—" The traffic," says this gentleman, " has not been extinguished, has not been diminished. By the latest accounts from which any estimate can be formed, the numbers ex ported have increased—the destruction of human life, and all the guilt and misery consequent thereon, have been fearfully augmented, at the same time it may be stated, that the numbers exported from Africa are, as compared with the year 1807 (when the Abolition Act was passed), as two to one, and that the annual loss of life has risen from seventeen to twenty-five per cent." The opinions thus put forth by one who had been among the most ac tive supporters of the measures of which here he so frankly and honestly admits the fearful failurp, have been corroborated by the venerable Mr. 'IHO3IAs CIA UK' SON himself, and other abolitionists. We have, even on the same side, the high authority of Lord Jour; 11 us- - SELL, who, when Secretary of State for the Colo nies, stated, in an official letter which he communi cated to the Lords of the Treasury, that the importation of slaves from the western coast of Africa alone, " involves a waste of human life, and a degree of human misery, proceeding from year to year without respite or intermission, to such an extent as to render the subject the most painful of any, which in the survey of mankind it is possible to contemplate." Well, then, the system has failed—failed, even in the opinion of those who have hitherto been its warmest advocates—and are we still to carry it on ? We have just commenced a fresh act in this ill-fated drama by a new treaty with France. Is our folly to last for ever ? The man, who in the zeal of blundering humanity, endeavoured to straighten the humped back of a traveller, rendered insensible by a fall —at least desisted from his torturing kindness when he discovered his mistake. Our conduct is more inex cusable—more pregnant with mischief, and with folly, than that of the philanthropist in ./Esop. We are pur suing a course in relation to the African, which, under the delusion of assisting him, augments his sufferings, and enlarges the field in which he suffers ; and which, at the same time, robs our own countrymen of their heritage, and has a direct tendency to condemn to moral and physical destitution around our very homes, those beings whom we are bound to love and to cherish, by every obligation of humanity, and by the first principles of our Christian faith. Is it possible that such a country as this, can persist —knowingly and wilfully persist— in such measureless folly, cruelty, and injustice ? We see so much indolent pertinacity in error—so much disposition to bow down with uninquiring submission to the dictation of prejudices assuming the garb of sanctity and humanity, that we hesitate to reply. But, at all events, we conclude as we began. We are glad that Mr. Hurl., disregarding the allurements of party politics—(we presume he does not expect his motion to find favour with all on his own side in Parliament) —disregarding, too, the certain clamour of the pseudo-philanthropists, has determined to bring this great national but novel question under public and Parliamentary discussion. And let him take courage. There are many to whom his opinions may not be acceptable, but who think too well of him to doubt that one only motive could have induced him to make his contemplated exertion—an honest and irre sistible impulse of public duty. A somewhat irregular statement, on Monday night, in the House of Lords, by Lord WHARNCLIFFE, on behalf of Mr. BARRY—apologetic and explanatory provoked a smart renewal of Lord BROUGHAM ' S attack on the ill-advised architect whom the Learned Lord is desirous of immortalising as the impersonation of "delay." It is not Lord BROUGHAM'S custom to slacken his second fire in an engagement where his adversary has not retired before his first ; and we cannot con gratulate Mr. BARRY on the wisdom of his epistolary plea put in for him by Lord WHARNCLIFFE, or OR its successful issue. Better for him to have been content with his first rough handling than to have challenged a second, in which the Marquis of CLANRICARDB and Lord CAMPBELL successively rode in upon him after the ex-Chancellor. Our readers will perceive that the com plaints we have felt it our duty to urge against the con duct of Mr. BARRY, and the defence which, on a former occasion, he attempted to establish for his very inju dicious, offensive, and costly departure from the plans discussed, settled, and determined upon between him self and the Lords' Committee charged with the duty, in conference with a Select Committee of the House of Commons, to superintend and revise the erection and decorations of the new Houses of Parlia ment, are precisely those which the Peers in question continue to bring forward whenever accident offers the opportunity for doing so. On a subject which we felt it our duty to allude to very recently, in no feeling of dis respect for the eminent personage referred to, but with a strong conviction of the very serious liabilities Mr. BARRY had incurred, one of the Noble Lords spoke in very express and remarkable terms. Lord BROUGHAM, repeating his declaration that Mr. BARRY seems to think very lightly of the censure or approbation of their Lord ships, added that he looked much more to the Commis sion on the Fine Arts. This was, the Learned Lord ad mitted, a p o w er f u l b o d y; b ut w h y ? B ecause hi s Royal Highness Pri nce A LBERT was at t h e h ea d o f it. H e h a d said the same thing, in so many words, on a former even ing ; and Mr. BA RRY was we l come to put any construc tion on them he pleased, when disclaiming, as he now Madrid journals of the 4th inst. have been received, and we are glad to find that several of them begin to display great spirit and a firm determination to resist the arbitrary proceedings of the Government. The Clamor Public°, the first that suffered by the, arrest and deportation of two of its conductors, announces the complete union of all sections of the Liberal party, and in a tone of just indignation ex claims Does the Government think that it is able to impose silence upon the independent press, and to prevent it uttering a cry of alarm at the sight of the dangers impending over the country? A formidable tempest is preparing—may Gon preserve Spain from the perils which menace her !" The Espectador warns the adherents of ESPARTEIZO that a plot is laid against them, and that emissaries have been sent forth to get up a manifestation in order to crush the friends of the QUEEN and Constitution. The Funds still remain depressed, but the Herald°, a Ministerial paper, asserts that the fall has been caused, not so much by political events, as by a combination tf capitalists. " Many persons," says that journal of the 4th, " believed that the Three per Cents. would this day have fallen to 30. However languishing they were at the opening of the Bourse, they recovered towards the close a certain de t;ree of firmness ; they were demanded at 60 days, and there we're few sellers at this date. We do not mean to insinuate that a rise in these funds may soon be expected, but every thing mends to prove that the actual depreciation is owing to a corn bination of capitalists, upon which political events have not ,I)een without influence. As it is impossible that paper, the interest of w hich is reli giously paid , can remain atv the actual prisp we feel justified in believing that sooner or later a rise must take place." The Gazette publishes a bul letin, dated Valen ,lia, the Ist inst., and signed by NARVAEZ, announcing that the' QUEEN was t o l eave th a t pl ace on the 2d, and sleep at Castdlon de la Plana, and proceed next day for Barcelona. A rumitir prevailed at Madrid that some serious disturbance was a:iticipated in that city on the ar rival of the Court. The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash, and 32i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 22 at 60 days; the Pro• visional Debt, at 7:4 at 60 days; an,rl the Vales at 9 for cash, In the French Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, Admiral MAcKnu, the Minister of Marine, present ed a Bill for increas ing the navy and maintaining twenty-six - vessels of war on the coast of Africa, in virtue of the treaty concluded at Lon don between France and England for the suppression of the slave .trade. This announcement excited a gel, oral move ment of satisfaction, and immediately afterwards M. GUIZOT entered the Chamber, and took his seat for the firet time after his illness. Many Members crowded round him, and offered their congratulations on his recovery. The scenel.'as heightened a little by the gratifying announcement made 13)" the gallant Admiral, who at the same time presented a copy of the convention, and the instructions prepared for the officers who are to command the fleet on the African coast. M, TRIERS took the opportunity of putting a question to the Minister of Justice relative to a resolution adopted by the Chamber, for carrying into effect the laws against the Je suits, and wished to know whether any steps had been taken in accordance with the wishes of the Chamber. The Minis ter M. MARTIN (du Nord) said no new proceedings had taken place which called upon the Government to enforce the law, but he was aware of the importance of the subject, and the Government would be prepared to act, should cir cumstances arise, calling for their interference. The discus sion on the Budget was then resumed, and on the clause rela tive to the maintenance of the clergy being read, M. Dunces complained of the number of congregrations established in various parts of France. The Minister of Justice said the Government had a return of all those establishments, and were prepared to suppress those who had not complied with the laws for the institution of religious establishments. The con version of the Five per Cent. Stock was adverted to by MM. BINEAU and CREMIEUX, and a motion made to the effect, that as the Finance Minister had refused to give any distinct pledge that he would present a Bill to that effect next session, the question be referred to the Budget Committee. A division tock place, when there were for the motion 134, and against it 143 ; so that it was rejected br a niajority of only 9. This may be regarded as decisive proof that the conversion will take place next session. The clause fixing the estimates for the foreign department next came under discussion. M. BILLAUI.T began the de bate, and in the course of his speech roamed over Switzer land, Belgium, Spain, Syria, Morocco, Greece, and Texas. M. GUIZOT, in reply, said he would not treat of all the dif ferent questions adverted to by M. BILLAULT, because most of them had been settled. As to Texas, France had acknow ledged its independence, but France had no position in that c ountry, although she had gener al interest. Three great P ow ers only, viz., England, Spai n, and America, had superior interests in the Texas question. France had no right to interfere, and he believed the great force of France to be in the observance of a strict independ ence and neutrality in matters that did not regard them. M. GUIZOT afterwards defended the conduct of the French Cabinet in Switzerland, and passed to the Spanish question. Ile maintained that the abdication of Don CARLOS did not effect in any way the Spanish Government. The Government had always considered both the interests and dignity of the country in their foreign, as well as home policy, and he was certain the Chamber would continue their confultuce to it. The Journal des Debate announces that, on the 7th inst., the ratifications of the new Convention were concluded in London, at the Foreign-office, between Count Sr. AULAIRE and the Earl of ABERDEEN. The Constitutionnel says the reply to the communications made to the Court of London respecting Don CARLos arrived on Monday, and gives it in these words :—" The English Cabinet sees no objection in granting passports to the Spanish Prince and his family, and approves the resolution of the French Government to con sult the Madrid Cabinet, on the subject, previous to the adoption of a definitive resolution." It adds, " Consequently as soon as the intentions of the Government of Queen ISABELLA are known, passports will be delivered to Don CARLOS for Rome, wherethe Prince and his family intend to fix their re sidence for some time." The Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 30c. ; the New Loan, at 84f. 45c.; the Five per Cents. at 1221. 40c. ; Orleans Rail road Shares 1,225 f. ; Rouen, 1,107 f. 50c.; Vierzon, 820 f.; The Bill was opposed by Mr. WATSON, Mr. RICARDO, Mr. ESTCOURT, Sir G. STRICKLAND, Mr. FOSTER, and Mr. BRIGHT and supported by Mr. AGLIoNBY. On a division, the second reading:of the Bill was carried by a majority of 44. Sir J. Y. BULLER moved the second reading of the County-rates Bill. Mr. M. GIBSON objected to the subject being left in the hands of amateur legislators, and urged the Government to take it up. After a few observations from Lord EBRINGTON, Mr, DARBY, Mr. BROTHERTON, Mr. HENLEY, and Mr. HUME, Sir J. GRAHAM said that he looked forward to being able to introduce, at an early period, a measure for placing the subject of county rates upon a firm and settled footing. The Bill was then read a second time. The House was counted out, at a Quarter after Seven o'clock, while in Committee on the Smoke Prohibition Bill. We have observed, with great satisfaction, that Mr. Burr, the Member for Gateshead, has given notice that on Tuesday, the 24th instan, he will ask the House of Commons to agree to the following resolution :—" That the course pursued by Great Britain since 1814, for the suppression of the slave-trade, has been attended by a large expenditure of the public money, and serious loss of life to the naval forces of this country, and that it has not produced any mitigation of the horrors of the middle passage, nor any diminution of the traffic in slaves." Mr. BUTT'S resolution stands first on the list of motions for Tuesday week, and we presume there fore it is sure to come under discussion.

SHERIFFS' FUND.—We wish to draw the particular attention of our readers to an advertisement which ap pears in another column, of the first dinner on behalf of the Sheriffs' Fund, which will be held on Tuesday next, at the London Tavern, the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. This excellent charity, the object of which is to reclaim those who have strayed from the paths of recti tude, has paramount claims on the attention of every Christian philanthropist, for we are told by the highest authority that " there is more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repented), than over ninety and nine just persons that need no repentance." EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) IN TILE MATTER OF CHARLES CARUS WILSON.-HABEAS CORPUS. The writ of habeas was granted in this case yesterday. There was one point, however, reserved for the consideration► of the Court, and on this point judgment was given this morning by Mr. Baron ALDERSON, who said there could be no doubt but that if application were made to a single judge at chambers during the ♦acation, the writ could be made returnable in vacation before such judge, although it had been issued in term by all the judges sitting in banco. CIIIAPMAN P. PURDAY-JUDGMENT RELATIVE TO THE LAW OF COPY. RIGHT AS REGARDS FOREIGNERS IN THIS COUNTRY. At the sittings of the Court this morning the Lord Chief Baron proceeded to give judgment in this case, which was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, the well.known music publisher, in Oxford.street, for an alleged infringement and piracy of the copyright, of which the plaintiff was assignee, of the overture and other portions of the music in Auber's opera of Fra Diavolo. The cause h..d been tried, and a verdict given for the plaintiff, upon which Mr. Jervis, who appeared for the defendant in the last term, obtained a rule nisi for a nonsuit. That rule had been ably argued by counsel for both sides, Mr. Jervis and Mr. Martin. The Lord Chief Baron, in the course of a most lucid and elaborate judgment, proceeded to discuss the principal question in the cause, and the general and common law right, as also the meaning and intentions of the seve ral Acts of Parliament relating thereto, particularly the Bth of Ann and 54th Geo. 111., whether a foreigner who composes or writes a work, and publishes it in a foreign country, has any right, either statutable or at common lady, to a copyright publication of such work so published in a foreign country, and by him subse quently published in this country, or in any part of the United Kingdom, and cited the cases and the arguments and decisions of the judges in Miller v. Taylor—A'Beckett v. Donaldson—Clementi and Ward, '2 Barn. and Cress. —Page v. Townsend—D'Almaine v. Bossey, and the dictum laid down by Lord Brougham and Lord Abinger, as also the Vice-Chancellor of England in the several cases brought before them and bearing on the subject. The Chief Baron concluded his judgment by stating that the Court were unanimously of opinion that a foreigner who composed or wrote a work, and published it in a foreign country, was not, either by the common or statutable law of this country, entitled to a copy. right of such a work in this country, and entitled to maintain an action for an alleged infringement or piracy of such work, and that the plaintiff; being as assignee, was in the same position. The rule nisi for a nonsuit must, therefore, he made absolute. The other Judges acquiescing, the rule was made absolute. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY.) HARDING V.BOURNE.—LOAN SOCIETIES. The plaintiff in this action is the proprietor of Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, and the representative of a Loan Society. The de fendant was a borrower, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 41. 10s., the balance of a bill of exchange for 151. Proof was adduced of the loan, and signature to the bill ; but for the defendant it was urged that this was a Society, although without a name, and not incorporated by any Act of Parliament, therefore that the action by one individual, in behalf of the rest, was not sustainable. It was urged that juries should protect unfortunate persons who, under the allurements held out by loan societies, bound themselves to pay extortionate demands; and that they had been made was proved by the Secretary, who admitted, that al though one bill had been paid and the same securities given," hard cash" was demanded to the amount of 13s. for inquires, besides a charge of 10 per cent. per annum, and the " rules" charged for again. The Learned Counsel said that a loan socitty was the short road to ruin. . . . . The UNDER-SHERIVF said that some of the points might have been raised legally by pleas. _ . . The defendant's COUNSEL said it was competent for the jury to say whether the sum paid was not sufficlent, the whole 151. not having been advanced, but " inquiries" deducted, and 10 per cent. interest, being exorbitant. The Learned UNDER. SHERIFF thought the matter of fact for the jury was, whether or not the defendant had " undertaken and pro mised to pay" in the manner set forth in the declaration. The Learned COUNSEL said other actions were pending on the same Bill. Surely the jury might reduce the damages if they thought proper—if they saw it was a system of extortion to get costs over and over again. The UNDER-SHERIFF said the jury could only consider the issue— had the defendant made the bill? There were suggestions raised for a defence and pleas on other grounds, but as the case stood there appeared to be no difficulty. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

He after. wards dined with the Master and Wardens and a numerous corn. pany of guests in the Merchant Tailors' Hall, Threadneedle.street, on the occasion of the annual election from their school of a scholar to St. John's College, Oxford.

DEATH OF JOHN MARSHALL, ESQ., OF LEEDS.— This eminent manufacturer died on the 6th instant, at his seat Hallsteds, on the Cumberland shore of Ullswater Lake, at the age of seventy.nine. Mr. Marshall began life with very small means, but by his ingenuity and industry, exercised continuously for upwards of half a century, he succeeded in amassing landed and personal property amounting, it is be lieved, to at least a million and a half sterling. Mr. Mar shall's politics were liberal. Though not much inclined to public life, he engaged in the extensive canvass (there was no poll) for the county of York, in 1826, and sat for it till 1830, in conjunction with Lord Milton (now Earl Fitzwilliam), the Hon. William bun combe (now Lord Feversham), and Mr., Fountayne Wilson. Two of his sons married daughters of Lord Mounteagle, and subse quently the Noble Lord himself married Mr. Marshall's daughter FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday last, two men, wh i le e mployed in sinking a pit between Deith and Dairy, most un fortunately lost their lives. In the process of working through the rock, it is necessary to blast it with powder. The shot was put in in the usual way, and a match applied of such a length as would allow time for the men to ascend ; but the shot not going off in the usual time, the men descended to ascertain the cause. In their operations some sparks had ignited the powder, and it exploded, killing one immediately, and the other was so mueh injured that he died the following day.—Kilmarnock Journal.
