qlytning , LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, laso. Her. MAJESTY'S M i n isters have again sustained a signal,and decisive defeat, and thatona fiesncat would be There was a time when such an event co be a matter o f g r av e importance, leading, p n e tr r y ha . ps s , to ir a chan ge i n th e G overnmen t o f th e co u ntry . CHARLES WOOD has, however, contrived to excite io much diacotitent and dissatisfaction on all subjects mognecte with the important department over which he presides, that the simple fact of the Government being left in a minority has ceased to excite any great astonishment, Or to lead to any serious apprehensions as to the probable results. We might therefore, perhaps, consider it unnecessary to offer any particular observations on a matter of such frequent occurrence, but for some circumstances connected with the question in which they have been placed in a position so hurniating and unpleasant, and also for the mangier in which the decision of a majority of the House of Commons has been received by the party representing the Government. There is no single tax less objectionable than ' that on spirits. It is, perhaps, the only one of:tha in direct imposts that can in any degree be justitSed. The only lil gnitation necessary in fixing the amount of duty is, that it shotild not be so great as to encOu. )I.'rage illicit distilLtion. If the trade could be alto.: tither suppressed, and that no such commodity could iaa Opined, it would, pathap, be SO much the better; .. but, unfortunately, there is no possibility of such a result. We cannot enforce " teetotalism " by Act of Parliament. Many persons require, or, what is nearly the same thing, think they require a stimulant, and the use of ardent spirits has become so habitual that there is no prospect of their being relinquished, or ceasing to become articles of general consumption. If we subject the fair trader to pro hibitory duties or undue restrictions we only furnish additional inducements to smugglers and others anxious to defraud the public revenue. The community in general, not merely the producers and ♦endors, but also the pur chasers and consumers, are thus demoralized, and the most mischievous consequences would follow a fiscal mistake of so grave a nature. _ _ In ascertaining the amount of duties to be levied on home-made spirits in different parts of the United Kingdom, it was discovered that full allowance should be made for the facilities existing for illicit distillation in the various localities. It was not intended to confer a boon upon Ireland or Scotland, or to enable the inhabitants of those countries to indulge their taste for ardent spirits at a cheaper rate than their English brethren, that the duty was fixed at only 2s. Bd. in the former, and 4s. in the latter, while 7s. 10d. per gallon was charged in England. Such a distinction could not be justified on any other grounds but those above alluded to. If the revenue laws could be fully enforced the duty would be the same in all parts of the kingdom. But actual experience has proved, beyond the pos sibility of doubt, that any material increase in the rates charged in Ireland or Scotland would not yield additional revenue to the exchequer, but would merely lead to formidable organization against the law. There are, however, other points on which a judi cious minister of finance should act liberally towards the distilling, trade. There are many excise regula tion's 'that prove exceedingly injurious to the spirit manufacturer, which might easily be altered ; such a change is the more essential, since the abolition of the protective duties on colonial spirits. Some years since the heavy charge upon rum operated as a practical prohibition to the use thereof in the sister kingdom. But' that having been altered in 1848, and the differential duty having been reduced to 4.1. per gallon, so as to bring these articles into full and fair competition, the home producer is entitled to demand, of the Legislature that he should be exempted from annoyances and impediments in his- business from which his rivals are free, for which scarcely any pecuniary allowance can compensate, and which have driven many persons altogether out of the trade. It was to one of these points that Loid NAAS last night directed the attention of , the House. It, ap. pears that the duty on foreign, and colonial spirits is only levied on the amount actually brought into con sumption, and for which payment is received. The Irish distiller, however, is obliged to pay on what issues from the worm's end. He is allowed to place his spirits in bond, but he receives no compensation for what is wasted by leakage or eva poration while in the QUEEN'S stores. It was, there fore, reasonably demanded that he should only be required to pay duty on what he could make actually available—that which remained on hand when taken into stock. The Chancellor of the Exchequer resisted this just and equitable proposition, which, if his own statements be correct, would not amount to more than a fraction of a penny per gallon, and which could not, therefore, be productive of any great loss to the revenue, although it would afford considerable relief to the distiller. The House, how ever, decided in favour of the motion by a majority of 32—there being 85 in its favour and 53 against. The Right Hon. Gentleman now refuses to be bound by that decision, declaring that he considers himself " perfectly free to take whatever course he may con sider proper." His colleagues in the Ministry did not thus set the House at defiance when they bowed to the hasty and absurd resolution on Lord ASHLEY'S motion for the total cessation of Post-office duty on Sundays throughout the entire country, a resolu tion fraught with the greatest public inconvenience, and oar rigid by surprise the day after the Derby. Sir CHARLES WOOD, however, thinks that he can despise the representatives of the people, and that all must bow down to his ridiculous dogmas. A novel and brilliant evidence of the diplomatic genius of her MAJESTY'S Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs has just been afforded by the extra ordinary convention concluded on the 12th of April between this country and the United States, through the instrumentality of the respective negotiators at Washington. The success with which . this difficult question has been brought to a satisfactory settlement is not less remarkable than the project of which it is at once the expression and the fulfilment—that project being nothing less than the construction of a strand inter-oceanic ship canal between the two Americas, connecting together the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. When this gigantic scheme was originally agitated, it will be remembered that a disposition was evinced by the United States to secure its own aggrandizement st the expense of Great Britain, and to acquire a monopoly of interest in the proposed undertaking by certain flagrant en croachments upon the minor principalities of the Isthmus between the northern and southern coati• nents. It will be recollected, for example, that a company of American citizens having received exclu sive rights to open a route of communication across Panama, and the United States having immediately before that obtained possession of California, there vpeared an official report, the result of the delibera tions of the committee of Congress, in which it -was proposed to subsidize the association by a yearly grant, with a view to secure certain privileges and prerogatives, for the exclusive enjoyment, the sole advantage, and the superior convenience of the citi zens of the Republic. According to this, it was in tended that passengers in American vessels, and citi zens of the United States, generally, should be af forded better and cheaper facilities of conveyance across Panama than any other individuals ; and a Bill was ultimately introduced into Congress, by which it was arranged that similar rights should be accorded to the armed forces and munitions of war appertaining to the United States Government. Throughout all these preliminary steps of the movement it was very perceptible that the Cabinet at Washington was actuated by its inordinate lust after territorial aggrandisement. Its ambition, whetted by its successes in Mexico, and exalted by the seeming embarrassment of England in the midst of the revolutionary agitations of Europe, rapidly gave forth tokens of its aggressive and ad venturous character. So large, indeed, was its au dacity in this particular, that its example inspired the miserable little state of Nicaragua with the courage of complicity. That principality willingly yielded up to the demand of the United States the right to construct either a railroad or a ship-canal through its dominions (I) together with a power of navigating a portion of the river St. John not included in that territory, thereby securing an exclusive benefit to the United States by encroaching upon the privileges and possessions belonging to Musquito. Over this Mus quito, be it not forgotten, England had long exercised, and still to this moment exercises, the influence of her protection. Mosquito was not previously under our colonial administration, but it was unques tionably and notoriously under the shelter of a"British protectorate. Unprepared, it may be indifferent, to raise any objecti on to the schemes entered upon b y the United States, when those schemes al one affect e d the then .recent acquisition of California and the neutral principality of Nicaragua, England fe lt herself compelled to interfere in that audacious enterprise immediately it touched upon the rights and advanced beyond the boundaries of the protected state of Mosquito. The first determination formed by the British Government to interrupt the course of these proceedings was co n .. firmed by a circumstance which soon afterwards, transpired to their astonishment, the circumstance of a negotiation being on foot betweentheiLrriaitgeudaS, em - which Ambassador and the authorities of isica ' whic:l nk the th f e or w m h e o r le w o a r s th th e e powering the Republic of accredited representative, to flank proposed canal with' a continuous line of fortificatiOns. A resolute interposition became absolutely necessary immediately these facts came to light ; and in the c9pduct of such an interposition it was equally requi iterthat resolution should be tempered by the tokens of our amicable disposition. , ; Yoder the sagacious direction of Lord PAL:4lOlmi 1 an explanation Was adventured upon, and to the end that all existing difficulties might be brought to a satisfactory settlement, Sir HENRY LYTTON BULWER was sent out as the British ambassador to the Government of Washington. Desirous of removing all obstacles to the desired arrangement, Sir HENRY BULWER found his wishes in this matter cordially responded to by Mr. JOHN CLAYTON, the Secretary of State to the American Government. The result of their negotiations is the im portant and highly satisfactory Convention respecting the great inter-oceanic canal, a project which is consequently doubly supported, by the United States on the one hand, and on the other by Great Britain. In order to bring about this felici tous result, it was, of course, incumbent upon both parties to consent respectively to certain essential con cessions. Happily these concessions have been made without any reservation whatever on the part of either . of the plenipotentiaries. The convention is full and complete ; without a flaw or a bitch ; everything, in fact, that could be reasonably desired. England stimulates, instead of retarding, the development of the scheme out of which the whole of the previous misunderstanding had originated— namely, the construction of a vast ship canal con necting the Pacific and the Atlantic. The United States on the other side withdraws all its efforts to encroach upon Musquito, acknowledging it to be under a British protectorate ; it resigns moreover its intention of claiming an exclusive monopoly of ad vantages, or of building up the intended line of forti fications. While yielding with spontaneous readi ness'upon these several points, the two contracting powers have decided also in like manner to co-operate with all possible earnestness and energy in carrying out a scheme which, once perfected, would tend to the almost incalculable advancement of the mer cantile enterprise of the world, and would in evitably prove a step—and , a gigat . itic step too in the way of securing the furthet civilization of both hemispheres. Mow far the convention commits the United States aid Great Britain to the prosecu tion 'oe the , enterprise may be perceived from the nature. of ,the seventh article, whioh runs verbatim as lc' being dOsiiable that no time should be unnecessa rily lost in commencing and constructing the said canal, the' Governments of the United States and Great Britain determine to give their supp or t an d encou ragement to such persons or company as may first'oifir to commence the same with the ne cessary capital, with the consent of the local authorities, and ntk``inch . principles as a ccor d w i t h t h e sp i r i t and intentions of this convention; and if any persons or company thatald" already have with any state through which the 'pioposed canal may pass a contract for the construction 'of 'such a canal as that specified in this convention, to the stipulations of which contract neither of - the perties'idthe convention have any jtist cause to objeCt, and the said Persons or company shall have made preparations and expended time, money, and trouble on the faith of such contract, it is hereby agreed that such persons shall . have a, priority , of claim over every other person or company to the protection of the United States and Great Britain,.ancl be allowed a year from the date 'et the exchange of the ratifications of the con vention for coneluding their arrangements and present ing evidence of ouffictent capital subscribed to accom plish the undertaking; it being understood that if, at the expiration of the aforesaid periods, such persons or corn- Pan, shall not be able to commence and carry on the projected enterprise, then the Governments of the United States and Great Britain shall be free to afford their protection to any persons or company that shall be pre pared to commence and proceed with the construction of the canal in questi on ." From this it will be perceived that the dream of beholding a vast ship canal threading a road through the central isthmus of the Americas is at length ac tually approaching its realization. To its fulfilment the Governments at London and at Washington have now definitively pledged themselves in a convention ' which not the less reflects honour upon the ability of Mr. CLAYTON, and upon the capacity of Sir HENRY BULWEZ, than it redounds to the glory of Lord PAL MERSTON as a statesman, 'an administrator, and a diplomatist. . THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. . Much spec u l a ti on was *excited by the sudden de parture of M. TRIERS to England for the purpose of paying a visit to the Comte DE NEUILLT, his former sovereign. The apparent cause for this pilgrimage is the alarming state of the health of the ex-King, and the solicitude of his old Minister to visit him once more before the possibility of their final separation by death. The imputed reason, on the contrary, is . said to, .be a wish on, the part of M. T uums to f orward the negotiation already commenced between the younger and the elder branches of the Bourbon dynasty. Whether :his latter surmise be really the inducement we can scarcely as yet understand, but it is indis putable that the Orleans family have of late betrayed symptoms of a desire of reconcilia tion. Prior to his departure from Paris the historian of NAPOLEON, paid a visit to the PRESIDENT at the Elysee, as if he-would thereby have intimated to him that his journey was rather sentimental -than tree-. sonous. However it may be, the visit of M. TRIERS at this particular time to the once' powerful monarch is the subject, naturally, of many conflicting conjectures. Upon it the Opinion Publique observer, " This journey may have more influence on his destiny than could reasonably be expected from a pilgrimage merely prompted by a sentimental fidelity." .14. 'films is not expected to return to Paris before Friday ; and. M. GUIZOT, who left that city for Normandy a short time since, it is thought will proceed forthwith to London. Toe second sitting of the Commission entrusted with the duty of examining into the project of a grant to the PRESIDENT 'terminated yesterday. It is beeinning to be thought that the opinion of the majority will prove favourable to the wishes of Louis NAPOLEON. Several of the members of the Commission, it is said; have received urgent en-. treaties from their constituents, to vote in favour of the grant, the latter parties insisting that the grant will be amply compensated by the manner in which the additional sum of money will, be* employed —an argument which receives some corroboration from the following statements : " - Before quitting St.Qttentin the PRESIDENT handed, to General Bottum. 400 f, to be distributed amongst the ingall garrison of the places. Tam was not an hospital nor a manufactory he visited during his late journey where he did not leave marks of. hisboUtity, and a sum of 4,000 f. was also distributed by him to the most deserving and most necessitous of the work-e, trig population. It is chiefly by acts like these that his present difficulties have been occasioned." It was at half past eight o'clock on Monday even ing that the Prince returned to his palace of thU Elystie, after his triumphal visit to Sr. Quentin. On Monday a funeral service was performed at the chapel of the Invalidei in commertnnoration of Mar shal BUGBAUD, the lOth b e i ng t h e. fi rst auniversaryi of his death. The service was attended by the relit.; tives and comrades of the Marshal. A circular of a most judicious character has been addressed by the Prefect of Police to the Ctimmis saries of Police of the department of the Seine, calling their attention to 'the refugee* in Paris and re9uesting that report s b e regu l ar l y addressed to him as to their conduct while residing on the French territory: The - ilioniteur publishes a letter from M. Wel.- ' LON, a Conservative Member f or th e d epartment of the North, announcing his resignation of his seat in the Assembly, in consequence of his having separated from his party on an important question. The venerable and episcopal benignity of FENBLON would have been somewhat agitated with surprise or indignation, could the author of " Telemachus" have heard the statement made on Monday in the Le gislative Assembly by M. PIERRE Llama, to the effect that that exquisite classic inculcates the doctrines of Socialism. The assertion was received with shouts of laughter. The director of the Republicaine de la Dordogne has been sentenced by the Assize Court of P guez to one year's imprisonment and I,ooof. fine for a seditious libel. It was reported yesterday in Paris, that the result of ,the ballot at Strasburg was in favour of the . Conservative candidate; and a similar rumour wal abrna in regard to the military votes fur the election of the Bas Rhin. Iu iliustration of this we have the following:par ticulars The Ist battalion of the Gendarmerie Mobile con tains twenty electors, natives of that department; eigh►een have voted for M. MULLER, and only one for M. GIRAZDIN. The 2d battalion of the same corps has given thirty votes for M. MULLER, and n ,, t one for M. GIRARDIN. The 3d battalion of the Chasseurs it Pied has given 18 votes, to M. MULLEa, and four to his Socialist competitor. The Garde Republican has given to Order 24 votes, and not one to Socialism. The Field Train has given 13 votes to MULLER, and not one toll. GULABDIN. The garrison of Havre (but this was conjectured many days since wou1;1 be the case) has given to MULLER 16 votes and only one to The garrison of?Dieppe has given 25 votes to the represen'ative of Order, and nine to that of Socialirm; and the ,garrison of Vernon 10 to the former and I only three to the latter. • Besides the journey of the PICBSIDENT to St. Quen tin, of M. THIESS to England, and of M. GIIIZOT through Normandy to London, there is another which deserves particular mention—M. DZ LAMARTINE has left on his way to Smyrna to take possession of his Eastern estate. The Five per Cents. opened at 931. 20c., and rose to 13(. ssc., at which price they closed; the Three per Cents. closed at 56f. 100.; Orleans Railroad Shares 747 f. 50c.; Rouen, 555 f. ; Havre, 225 f. ; Great Northern, 445 f.; Avignon, 175 f.; Vierzon, 3421. 50c.; Basle, 110 f.; Bordeaux. 388 f. 75c.; Paris and Stras burg, 3301.; Tours and Nantes, 2171. 50c.; the New Roman Loan, 77!.

They announce the approaching arrival on the 11th of the Duke and Duchess DR MONTPENSIER. Orders had been given to receive their Royal High news with all due honours. Tne Heruldo publishes a letter from Ceuta of the 31st ult., stating that a Moorish army, commanded by two pashas, one white and the other black, was marching towards the frontier of Algeria, with hos tile intentions towards the French.

Intelligence from Berlin is to the 10th inst. Some pretended revelations of a conspiracy con nected with the attack on the Kma made by a soldier in custody for a military offence at Potsdam, bad been proved to be mere invention or a hoax. This hoax is somewhat more detailed as follow= : Guard, while bi ing escort,cl for a in ffse3unrepoftothe theprison o f M ag d e b urg , f rom some unknown motive, told the officer accorupan)iug him that he knew of th e consp i racy of which Sees i A lita C ry ha o s loge's': crime was the result, adding some alarming statements of its extent, stating even. that the %hole First ,Regiment, ,of the Guard was implicated in it. lie was brought-back to -tPorsdam and an inquiry commenced, which proved that the whole story was iniented. - The Kolner Zeitung bid telegraphic dispatches from Berlin, .stating that after hiving been confined to his bed for seventeen days, his MA JESTY at length so far recovered as to be able to - rise for, a few hours. Still the fatigue of getting up told on the lirsio's nerves, and the night which followed the first attempt passed less quietly than might have been expected. The KING'S rest was likewise disturbed in the night from the 9th to the 10th of June, but still the wound is proceeding favourably. The Members of the Deputation to Copenhagen were expected at Kiel on the 8 th. The papers ex press a feeling of satisfaction that their " unhappy" negotiation, which could not have led to any good re'ult, has been broken off; the settlement of the question will evidently,be made in Berlin, as no thing is expected from the reported conferences in London, and in Copenhagen nothing is likely to be concluded. From Hanover we hear that the birthday of the KING, who on the 6th instant entered his eightieth year, was celebrated with more than ordinary re joicing. The number of guests present at the en tertainment given by the civic authorities was so great that the dinner was laid out in spacious tents, the civic hall being too small to accommodate them. ITALY. News from the Eon peninsula still continues to have most of its interest concentrated just now in Piedmont. Cardinal ANTONBLLI has addressed a note, dated the 14th ult., to the Charge d'Affaires of Sardinia, in which be renews the protest of the Holy See against the law of Siccerdi, " which," he says, " is hostile to th e Ch urc h and to its sacred rights, in direct opposition with the sacred canons, and with' the solemn treaties concluded on the subject." He adds, that " the attempt against the sacred person of the excellent Archbishop of TURIN, who has been prosecuted by an incompetent judicial authority, arrested aad sent to the citadel by the aid of the public force," is a still greafer aggravation of the outrage. The prelate expresses his surprise at " this outrage, so in sulting to the high dignity of the sacred personage." He concludes by declaring that, " whatever reforms may have been introduced into the civil legislation of the Sardinian States, the venerable laws of the Church are, nevertheless, still in force." The Bishop of MPIO (Sardinia) has addressed . a circular to the clergy of his diocese, declaring that it is their duty to submit to the law of Siccardi. He orders, moreover, the Chancellors of the two Ecclesiastical" Courts of Tempio and Castelsardo to transmit immediately to the secular tribunals all the cases that may still be pending hefore - them; The - Bishops of TAILSNIAISE, URIEN/VE, BUd ANNECY hare refused the decoration of the Grand Cross of St. Maurice and Lazarus, which the King of 'SARDINIA had lent them. , •,' The King of SARDINIA has given directions for a rural febtival at his villa of Stupinigi, to celebrate the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of GENOA The members of both Chkrabers, and the National G u ard s o f „ii degrees, are invited ' w ith _th e i r families.. ... . The Fiedmontese Gazette of the 7th publishes an order of the day addressed to the National Guards of Turin by their commandant, General MAYEN.; thank ing them in the name of the KING for their devo tion to the country, and congratulating them on their martial appearance at the last review. The disorders which took place at Albenga on the oc casion of the new wine-tax have ceased, order has been restored, and a judicial inquiry has com menced. Another and somewhat more noticeable review has been held at Naples, where the KING in person as sisted with great state and magnificence. Don SEBAS TIAN, the Royal Infante of Spain, rode beside the KING. The French Generals SAUVAN and VAILLANT likewise accompanied his MAJESTY. His MAJESTY was received with cries of " Viva Dior " Viva il Re f' by the soldiers, and with acclamations by the lazzaroni. QUEEN'S BENCH,--(THIS DAY.)

Mr. D. KEENE submitted that the clear meaning of the affidavit was apparent, arid that the word " dated" being interposed was immtVerial, as it had been sworn before the rule wbs obtain- d. This was the memoran dum of the Judge, Mr. Justice Williams, before whom it was sworn. Lord CAMPBELL Was of opinion that this obj , ctiou was fatal, on the ground that the jurat must state the particUlar day on which the affidavit was sworn. The affidavit, therefore, could not be used; but the applica tion might be renewed on a proper affidavit. The other Judges concurred. Rule discharged, but without cost'. REGIN A v. Hoppa.

This was a rule to dis charge the applicant from the custody of the Sheriff, having been arrested for the non-payment of an annuity of 270/., and the ground of the application was, that he had no right to grant the annuity. The Court, after hearing the arguments of Mr. Keene, decided that the rule should be made absolute, and the applicant discharged out of custody on entering in an appearance. Rule made absolute accordingly. EXCHEQuEtt.-(THIS DAY.) Before the LORD CHIRP. BARON and Barons ROLFE and PLATT.) GORHAM V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in addressing their Lord. ships immediately on their entering the court this morn ing, said—l have been instructed by Mr. Gorham to take the opinion of the Court upon an objection which may probably be raised to its jurisdiction in this case, and for that purpose I wish to draw your attention to the Act of Parliament under which your L.rdships profess to act. I understood your LordFhips to have said yesterday that the rule was to be retuirable tu-day, and was to be argued on the 29 h month, at the sittings after term. Now, I appreuend that is neither consistent with the practice of tie court. nor in accurdarce with toe Act of Parliament. Your Lurdsh.pa can only take that course under the statute.of Victoria which provided that it should be lawful fur the Courts to bold sittings in banco after term for the purpose of disposing of the business then pending. Mr. Baron PLATT—What is the nature of your ap plication? The ATT2RNEY-GENERAL—I only want the Court to know what they are about. Mr. Baron PLATT—This is a very irregular proceed ing, Mr. Attorney-General. I think you ought to ap pear in some character or another. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I appear as counsel for Mr. Gomm. Mr. Baron PLATT—The rule is due to-day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—That is exactly what I am going to say, and it is my duty to point out to your Lordships in what way I think the parties may after ward► object to your Jurisdiction. I wish to obviate that difficulty. The CHIEF BARON—The view which the Court takes of the matter is this :—By the statute we are entitled to name certain days in London and Westminster for hearing and disposing of business then pendiug. Now, in this case, a rule was granted yesterday; it is return able to-day, and, of course, is considered• to be pending. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Pardon me, my Lord; but I have to • suggest a difficulty as to what I think is the irregularity of the proceeding. , Mr. Baron PLATT—You can suggest the difficulty when you come to show cause against the rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No doubt, my Lord ; but we do not want the case thrown over the lon vacation, as that may be the object of the other side. If the rule is returnable to-day at the rising of the Court it cannot be "-pending," unless it is enlarged, and I submit the only course you can take to make the proceedings regular is to enlarge the rule until next tf,rro, in which case you might hear counsel as proposed, on the 29th of June. - The CHIEF BARON—It appears to me that the only difficulty arises on the words " then pending." lam of opinion, that the rule returnable to-day comes under the category of cases included in those words. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I want to preclude the possibility of any objection to your jurisdiction. The CHIEF BARON—We: have announced to the litigant parties what course we intend to take, and it they are dissatisfied with this tribunal, they can have the rule discharged, and proceed in any other way they may think proper. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It is the irregularity of the mode of proceeding that provokes me to come here, because the point I have alluded to may ultimately' be raised upon the record; and if I cannot be allowed to call your Lordships' attention to it in any other way, I may do so as an amicus curie. Mr. Baron PLATT—You do not appear here as amicus curie, hut as the amicus of Mr. Gorham.—(A laugh.) The Cum BARON-I do not see the slightest diffi culty in the case. We are entitled to hold sittings in vacation, and to deal with and decide on any matter pending and undisposed of. The discussion, after some further observations, then dropped.

Post-office receiving -houses for the Islington district,' and tor s t oma tine past several' letters containing money had been posted ,there, which never reached _their destination.

A WHOLESALE SWINDLER.—Ann Maria Tolpey. the woman who was brought before Mr. Bingham on the 23d ult. charged with fraudulently obtaining the sum of 361. from William Richardson 19, Sun-street, Eishops gete-street, und er th e p re t ence r!f getting him a situation in the Home office through her influence with Lord Alfred Paget, was again brought up fur final exami nation. The evidence adduced on the first examination went to show that in the month of July, 1848, the prosecutor became acquainted with the prisoner through a sister of his, to whom he had lent 50/. to commence an action against a man for breach of promise 'of marriage. Just before the action was settled the prisoner sent a message by his shit. r, stating that if he let her (the prisoner) have the 501. which he had advanced his sister. she would get him a Gov, rnment situation. In consequence of this communication he went to the pri soner ' s residence in Coventry-street, where he saw her. She then told him she was on most intimate terms with Lord Alfred Paget and if he (prosecutor) would advance her the 501. she would use her influence with his Lordship and get him a " berth" in the Home-office, at a salary of 100/ a year. Prosecutor, on hearing this, said be had no ob• jection to let her have 50/, but she must first satisfy him that all was right. She then a :id, " Oh, it is all right, I will write to his Lordship immediately about the • appointment, and will let yOu know in a day or air." She then pressed him flit some money c•n account. Ho declined then to te , vanee her any, bur a few dl)s after he sent her 15/. by his, sister. Abet', a week aft rvvatils he rec. ived a letter ,froto the prisraer, ihhirmir,g him. he a lied upon her she would give him the nece,ossry docum' tits to place him in the situation. He accordingly called on the 10th of July, when she showed him a letter which she said she had received from Lord Alfred Paget, wherein his Lordship was alleged to state that he had got the prosecutor a ituation in tle 110111 e, ffice, through the recommeoria don of the prisoner. Tne prisoner then asked him for some money, and he gave her 10/. She said that was not enough, and want, A 1 another 101. Nut having so much money with him, he told her if she would aecom. parry him to his residence, he would give her the money. She accordingly went with him. and he gav- her the She then lett, and about two days after she called again. and told him he was to go to his situation on the follow ing Monday, on which day- he was to meet his Lord ship at her house, who would be surety for the prose cutor. He went there on the Monday according to appointment, when he found that the prisoner had absconded without paying her rent. This excited his suspicions, and on inquiring at Lord Alfred Paget's, be was informed that his Lordship knew nothing at all about her. He saw nothing more of her until the 22d of May last, when he met her in Knightsbridge; and gave her in charge. Lord Alfred Paget proved that he was not acquainted with the prisoner, neither bad he ever seen her before in his life. The letter produced was not in his hand writing. Eliza Gosby, said about four years ago, the prisoner obtained 2701. from her under the pretence of in vesting it tor her advantage. She saw nothing more of the prisoner for a considerable time after, when she demanded the restoration of her money. The prisoner then gave her 70/., and an I. 0. U." for the remainder. The latter had not been token up. Several tradesmen who were in court, stated that the prisoner had swindled them out of property to a large amount, under the pretence of showing them to various noblemen and gentlemen. A number of other charges were gone into, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The total number of passengers arrived up to yesterday was 118 cabin, and 8,465 steerage—in all, 8,603.
