Mr. EWART'S annual motion for the abolition of the punishment of death is fixed for this evening. The most sanguine advocates of the proposition can hardly anticipate its immediate acceptation ; but it may be reasonably anticipated, as it is most earnestly to be desired, that the wisdom and philanthropy of the Legislature may at once devise some means to put an immediate termination, if not to the awful punish ment itself, at least to the disgraceful and revolting scenes which appear to be its inseparable accompani ments. There may be two opinions as to the pre ventive influence of the murderer's horrible doom. It may be that the criminal's hand is at times arrested in its purpose by the prospect of the probable penalty of his crime, and this consideration undoubtedly dis poses many persons in favour of the retention of the punishment. There are, therefore, two opinions on the subject, and the arguments on both sides are characterised by charity and justice. But there is, and there can be, but one opinion as to the nature and the effect of the revolting accompaniments of an execution. To the patriot or the philanthropist the scene upon the gallows, where one, perhaps re pentant, sinner is expiating his crime, is far less ter rible and less heartrending than the sad spectacle presented by the spectators. The agony of the dying visage and the convulsions of the writhing limbs are, undoubtedly, most horrible to behold, but to those who look below the surface still more horrible is the living death visible in a thousand faces, as the pickpocket plies his trade, as fathers lift up their children to ace the " sight,' as mocking songs and jeering laughter —issuing even from women's lips—echo around under the shadow of the gallows, in the very presence of Death. Scenes like these—to the enormity of which even the pen of DICKEN3 was hardly capable of doing justice —scenes which reflect an indelible disgrace upon an enlightened age and a Christian country, are a fit object for the interference of the Legislature, and we most heartily hope that the proposition of itsir. EWART will be instrumental in, effecting their so much-required reformation. Another practical benefit we would fain see deduced from this—as at present at least we arc disposed to regard it—theo retical proposition. The blessings of Education were never better de monstrated, and its necessity never more forcibly en forced, than by that brief and most emphatic declara tion—" It is better to erect a sign-post at the beginning of a man's life than a gallows at the end." W hile we agree with many of the arguments of those who would displace the gallows, we must confess that we are more solicitous, immeasurably more solicitous, for the erection of the sign-pest. In the one case the question is, whether a few years shall be taken from the miserable lives of a few criminals; in the other the matter at issue is the whole existence of millions for time and for eternity. In saying this we are far from supposing that any book learning can of itself so purify the hearts, and rule the lives of the people as to render the hangman's office a sinecure. The education of which we speak—the education which; the people of this country are now beseeching in a language more eloquent than words, in the silent appeals of their unmistakable misery—is of a more universal and powerful nature than is to be acquired within a school alone. Let us have the schools by all means, but they will be of little avail without a very considerable amelioration in the condition of the dwelling-houses. Let us have the rudiments of knowledge disseminated among the poor, but such knowledge will be worse than useless if only poisonous food be provided to satisfy its re quirements. No advocate of Mr. EWART'S proposition can more heartily desire the aboli tion of the gallows than ourselves, but, in order to effect that desired object, we would put an end to the many evils in which its terrible necessity originates. It is impossible at once to drain the ocean of iniquity and its attendant miseries, with which our moral world is deluged, but it is possible with a timely hand to arrest the innumerable and, in some cases, apparently trivial currents whence it derives its source. When we cast a glance over the actual state of London alone, when we see how the haunts of vice are tolerated, and hence vir tually encouraged by ,the Legislature—when we see even the printing-press, which should be the prime agent of virtue and wisdom, lending its powerful aid to foster immorality and disseminate vice, while the law, so far from interfering with this illegitimate 'liberty of the press, encourages it, by preventing by its restrictions the competition of wholesome publica tions ;—when we call to mind these, and a hundred similar circumstances, the horror and commiseration excited by the murderer's fate are lost sight of in our yet greater horror and commiseration for the sins and the sufferings of so many thousands of our fellow-countrymen. It is most earnestly to be desired that all whose good sense and good hearts dispose them to agree with the arguments of Mr. EWART will take into consideration the necessity for doing something more to signalise their philanthropy than by abolishing the gallows without effecting some diminution in the causes fur its necessity. The "Bears" are resolved to " die hard." They will not abandon the contest without an arduous struggle. A "panic" is too profitable to the speculators to be permitted easily to subside. It is when the market is in a " feverish" state that the largest and most exorbitant gains can be realised. It is at such a time that the prices are made to fluctuate to the extent frequently of two or three pounds per share in a single day. A bond-Fide purchaser, desirous of in vesting his capital, must pay considerably more than the.nominal quotation ; while a shareholder, desirous of selling, must submit to a still further depreciation. The market thus shifts and changes every hour, while the unconscientions spoliators, who have no real in terest in the undertaking in which they take upon themselves to sell hundreds, aye, thousands of shares, obtain enormous profits at the expense of the plun dered shareholders. It is true that they sometimes receive a severe lesson. The parties upon whose fears they speculate are not always satisfied to become " willing victims." The fraud occasionally becomes When pric es are re d uce d to less thantock gla o r n in e g . one-half the actual value, a rally takes place ; capitalists, struck at the extraordinary bargains that can be obtained, send instructions to purchase, and thus are enabled to obtain, in some cases, 7 or even 8 per cent. on unquestionable secu rity. When such is the case, when an actual trans fer is demanded, the " speculat o r s for a fall" are reduced to a lamentable state of perplexity. They have contracted to deliver shares which they have nct, nor ever had in their possession. The purchaser will not be contented to receive the " difference," as it is termed, but requires the full completion of his bargaic. His money is ready, and he demands the diivery cf his shares. He was generally met, at this stage or the transaction, with every trick and scheme that could enter into the most wily imagina tion. Every species of device was resorted to in order to escape from the transaction, and the former regu lations of the Stock Exchange enabled the sellers to delay and procrastinate its fined completion. Thus, while the purchaser must be prepared to pay the stipulated price to the very hour, and any default on his part was visited with the utmost rigour, so as to de ter all parties from offending in like manner, the " Bear" was enabled to put off the delivery to another account, although entitled to call for the money at any moment. This extraordinary privilege it was which enabled the parties to carry their operations to so enormous an extent, and to deteriorate the property of the innocent proprietors. They had practically an additional fortnight within which to speculate, and all the chances that might arise within that period in their favour. A most unfair advantage was thus be stowed upon them, which operated as an induce ment to enter upon a course so prejudicial to the interests of the owners of railway property. This role has, however, happily been rescinded within the past week, and " Bears " and " Bulls " must now meet on tolerably equal terms, the former being deprived of the 'vantage ground they formerly enjoyed. Since this salutary regulation has been promulgated we may look more frequently for " Stock Exchange Executions," or, in other words, the buying in, against parties who are unable to complete their contracts by the actual delivery of shares. After a few examples have been made of the most hardened offenders, it is to be hoped that a wholesome dread will be instilled into their souls which will prevent others from being guilty of si milar crimes. But why is it, we again ask, that the railway in terest, with all its mighty power, has so long re mained quiescent and apathetic ? Why have they suf fered thems elves so long to be plundered with impunity ? Why has there not been a Shareholders' Protection Association formed to prevent the prices from being unduly reduced below their actual value ? A com bined and organized movement would speedily place the " ursine band" hors de combat. Insig nificant in point of numbers, wealth, or influence, they have hitherto been enabled to prey upon individuals. They prowled in flocks, and were thus enabled to destroy the victims that were so unfortunate as to falKinto their clutches. But " when rogues conspire good men must combine." The time has arrived when something must be done to abate the nuisance. Laws are enacted for the pro tection of every description of, property, save railway property. The thief who steals your pocket handkerchief is sentenced to a prolonged im prisonment, with hard labour, and on a second conviction to banishment from his native land; if what is termed: a "juvenile offender," corporal punishment is freely resorted to. At the same moment the Ursa Major and his " forty thieves" are plundering the widow and the orphan with impunity, carrying on their nefarious operations to the extent of thousands and tens of thousands, aye, of hundreds of thousands, without any fear of untoward results, and at the same time, calling themselves " all honour able men." This anomaly should be corrected with all con venient speed. Similar evils formerly existed with respect to the public funds, until the Stock-jobbing Act was passed to prevent the grievance. At the time that salutary law was enacted the national debt was much below the amount now invested in railways, but still it was found es sential to the safety and protection of the fundholder that a stop should be put to the proceedings of uncon scientious speculators. Surely it cannot be said that a similar necessity does not now exist, when North- Westerns are quoted at 103, and Great Westerns at 53, or about 50 per cent. below their real value, as an in vestment ! A more striking illustration of the ur gency of the case could not be afforded. ROYAL BENEFICENCE.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER BY A HUSBAND AT LIVER- Pool,.—On Thursday, Walter Wallace was charged with having brutally assaulted his wife, with intent to murder her. Five weeks ago her husband, who had been at New Orleans for about two years, returned home, and within the past few days his conduct to his wife had been so bad and threatening, that she sent over to Manchester for his sister, Rebecca Wallace, and secreted the razors, lest he should use then to destroy her. On Tuesday night, after all the in mates of the house had retired to rest, screams of " Murder " were heard to issue from the bed-room of the prisoner and his wife. Miss Wallace ran to the door of the room, but finding it bolted she and the servant forced it, and found Mrs. Wal lace lying on the floor bleeding. The prisoner, who was in a state of nudity, was kicking her with his feet, and wh en told that he had killed her, he said," I meant to do it. I kicked her on the jugular, and I am sorry I had not my boots on, for then I should have killed her !' lle also declared that if the servant had not removed his razors he would have cut her throat. Mrs. Wallace, whose face was much swol len, and dreadfully discoloured, deposed as to the assault. Mr. Jeffrey, surgeon, said that when he was called in on Wednesday morning, the face of the complainant was so dis torted that, though lie had occasionally attended her for years, he could not recognise her. The prisoner was com mitted for trial on a charge of aggravated assault. lIOLYWELL, APRIL 19.—Ellis William s , a respect able farmer, residing at Nannercb, near this town, committed suicide, a few days since, under the following circum stances :—About three weeks ago he was present at a fair, held in an adjacent county, and observed his wife shake hands with a man who had formerly been a neighbour. Without other pnvocation than this, he immediately con ceived the most violent jealousy, and asked his wife if she would like to die the same death as he would ? Alarmed by the extraordinary inquiry, the wife left his house, when he entreated her to come back, saving y he wanted to see he r f or once only. She refused, and continued to absent herself, upon which he placed all the articles of her dress in a box, and burned them in his farmyard. He then sent his daughter into his furthest field to tend the cows, and during her ab sence ripped open the bodies of two valuable mares (in colt), for which he bad refused 401. at the fair. The unfortunate man then went to the barn, where he hanged himself by a rope attached to the beam. There can be no doubt that he committed the rash act when in a state of mental insanity. A DEEELICT.—On Thursday morning last a fish ing -smack fell in with a dismasted waterlogged brig, dere lict, about 20 miles E.S.E. from the North Foreland. She proved to be the Leonidas, 216 tons, a Prussian vessel under Russian colours, with a cargo of oak and fir timber from Stettin, bound to Havre. She had been run foul of ! by a Russian barque on the night of the 16th inst., and shortly after became waterlogged. The captain and crew were taken off the wreck by an English brig, and landed - at Deal. Shortly after the fishing-smack fell in with the vessel the lugger Fame, of Broadstairs went to her assistance, and together they assisted in getting the Leonidas to within about six miles of the North Foreland, when they were obliged to anchor he the afternoon, when the out-tide came against them, it blowing hard in squalls at the same time; they got a steam-tug, and succeeded in anchoring the brig in the Downs that night, and the following day got her safe into Ramsgate, where she is being unloaded. A PROFITABLE SPECULATIOL—One of our leading Brazilian houses shipped a quantity of Manchester goods some months ago to Buenos Ayres. Finding the market closed up, and no sale for the articles, they were reimported, and the shippers recently sold them in Manchester at a profit of 12 per cent., after paying freight and all other charges.— Liverpool Mercury.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN EDWARDS, BART.—Sir John Edwards, of Maehynlleth, father-in :law of Viscount Seaham, died on Friday last at his son-in-law's seat, near Wrexham, in Denbighshire. Sir John had attained his 80th year. Re represented the Montgomery district of boroughs in Parlia ment from 1832 to 1841, and was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Volunteers and local militia of the western division of Mont gomeryshire. LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND GENERAL FIRE AND LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—Yesterday the General Committee held their annual meeting, at the office of the company, in Adelaide-place, London-bridge, when Messrs. Ward, Long, and W a lt er, were returned as the ' three repre sentative directors of the company for the next twelve months. The best thanks of the committee were voted to the three retiring directors, viz., Messrs. Bryon, Stennett, and Wallis, for their able and zealous services at the board for the past year. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. J. Wells, as chair man of the committee; also to the secretary and actuary,. after which the committee adjourned, , MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER 7 0 THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The market was firm at previous rates. The sales comprised 5,500 American, at 5:}(1 to Bid, 1,200 Fenian] ' &c., at eld to 6; 4 41, 200 Bahia at 614 to 6}d, 350 Egyp tian at 6d to 84d, 600 Surat at 4d to sd, and 70 Sea Islands at 1300 to is 2d.—ln Railway Shares a fair amount of business was dune at an improvement over Saturday's rates, but towards the close of business the market gave way. Accounts direct from Sydney of January 22 state that the weather had been excessively hot, and the drought very severe. There was no hope of the corn crop, as one-third only, at the utmost, was expected to be saved. The wheat and barley crops would be good. The revenue for the last quarter of 1849 was very favourable, and on the year there was an increase of 12 per cent., and would have been much more but for the great decrease of the colonial distillation. The total cf Customs in 1849 was 130,0731., and of other taxes 75,526/. In the commercial markets there was not much activity, traders exercising considerable caution, and only sup plying their immediate wants; so that while the stocks in their possession were much smaller, those held by the importers were larger than usual. Attention was being directed t 3 the cultivation of cotton, silk, &c. Van Diemen's Land advises of January 19 state also that cotton planting was likely to become popular. A frost had injured the previous crop, but it was abun dantly proved that with ordinary care cotton could be grown. It is stated in proof of the advancing prosperity of Canada, that the receipts last year from the canals in creased considerably—those on the Welland, although it was closed for some time, to the amount of 5,000/. over 1848. The gross receipts from public works lsst year were 91,0001., and the net revenue was 43,0001. Port Stanley yielded more revenue than any other harbour in the province. Canadian Bank Stock, like every ether description of property, sustained considerable depreciation during the period of commercial depression. We have pleasure in observing that this description' of property is rapidly improving. The stock of the Commercial Bank, one of the most active and flourishing of our monetary insti tutions, has lately advanced considerably. In DeceMber last it was sold at 10 per cent. discount, when a dividend of 3 per cent. was about to be paid; 80 shares were sold a few days ago at 6 per cent, discount, being an advance, when the last dividend is taken into account, of 7 per cant. In the Frankfort Stock Market. on the 20th inst., Austrian Metallics were quoted 79i h. At Amsterdam, on the 21st inst., Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 55 11-16. The Funds have not varied or recovered from the heavy tone of yesterday, but there is nothing either in the home or foreign news of particular interest, and the Ministers are now again reported not to be so unstable; ; rtt Lemur chose to state. Consols have ()eels 95i s for Transfer, and 95i i f for Account, the latter being about the present rases.

In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have been firmer at 28/ The Committee of Spanish Bond holders have received the following interesting comma nications, showing that both the silver and tobacco duties proceeds are coining forward. Messrs. Manning, Markee, and Co., write as follows:-- " Vera Cruz, March 18, 1850. " We beg reference to the annexed copy of our last respects; since which we have received no communica tion from the committee, and having been advised by Mr. W.

The committee have also received a letter from Mr. Lord, dated La Guayra, 22d ult., enclosing copies of communications which had passed between him and the Venezuelan Government, of which translations will be furnished for the information of the bondholders. The agency in London for receiving the remittances and paying the dividends will (for the present) be composed of three persons, one of whom to be the Venezuelan Consul in London, and the ether two to be nominated by the committee of Spanish American bondholders.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before tho VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE KING OF THE TWO SICILIES V. WILCOX. This case came before his Honour this MOllithg for argument, upon a demurrer put in by the defendants, the Peninsular and Oriental l*Aenin-packet Company, to the bill filed by the royal plaintiff, the King cf the Two Sicilies. Our readers will doubtless rec olket that the ease has been before his Honour in various shapes, first for an injunction to restrain the steam-packet com pany from parting with or delivering up a steam-ship called tho Bombay to Prince Granateili and Signor Scallia, who, it was alleged, were agents sent to this country in 1848 by the usurping Government of Sicily, upon the ground that the vessel had been pur chased with moneys taken out of the public treasury, and therefore the property of the plaintiff, who regained his sotereign power in April, 1849. The injunction was granted, but subsequently dissolved as against the steam-packet company, as it appeared that a few days bef.ze the filing of the bill they had parted with all their interest by registering the ship in the names of other parties. The case was then argued upon a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill, upon which demurrer it was contended that the plaintiff hsd admitted a Government de facto during his dispossesion, but claimed as King de jure, which involved a question of Sicilian law, of which there was no averment; that 'the plaintiff's right to sue was doubtful; and that the members of the rebellious Go vernment were necessary parties, and the treatises by Puffendorf and Vatiel on international law were referred to, besides numerous cases. In support of the bill it was argued, that the rebellious Government being stated throughout as "unlawful," was a sufficient averment that it was contrary to the Sicilian law; that the plaintiff had a right to sue; that the public money could be fol lowed as belonging to the plaintiff as King, and that the rebellious Government were not necessary patties to the bill. Upon that demurrer his Honour gave judg ment in February last, observing that there was no case on the record of belligerent parties, but merely of a party who, being an absolute Sovereign, part of his subjects were in rebellion against him, and took that opportunity to possess themselves of som a e s part the o . of He succeededr)a - l pr o p i e n rt p y u t tin belonging down t ti o i e the plain tiff rebellion, and the rebellious parties having made use of their ab solute power over the royal funds, took the opportunity, royal did fun no d t t h o er t e h b i w s tosu such he wasndt h t a h t o s they property e as against their Sovereign. It appeared to his Ilonour an extraordinary country,ab acquire umireeaanansnydrohifgi right bills, opinion il t s o , thing, after the principle which had been laid down in the cases of " the Nabob of the Carnatic" and " the King of Spaio," that any difficulty should have been raised. It appeared upon those cases to be laid down plainly, that an independent Sovereign of a state was competent in this country to sue for his personal rights; and recover that property which had been taken possession of by his rebellious subjects. His Honour's opinion, therefore, was, that the demurrer must be overruled, with costs. Since then another de murrer had been filed to the plaintiff's bill, on the ground that as the bill sought a discovery of the whole, transaction, and as that discovery, if given, might ex pose the defendants to a criminal prosecution, they were not bound to answer any matter that subjected them to any such results. Mr. STUART opened tie demurrer this morning, and the arguments occupied the Court the whole day. (kefore the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) Cases of no general interest occupied his Honour the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRA3I.X '1..t„.714.17; ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. COOPER. The further arguments in this part-heard case were resulted this morning, and occupied his Honour the whole day. Thecase came before the Court upon de murrer for want of equity, want of parties, misjoinder, and multifariousness The object of the information is to obtain a declaration that a Mr. 11/PRee legally remains the minister of a Dissenting chapel in New Windsor; an account of moneys received under a deed of 1833 in favour of the minister's salary and of the pew rents; the removal of the present trustees and the appointment of persons in their place; and an injunction for the pur pose of preventing the existing trustees from removing the present minister of the chapel. Mr. Wood and Mr. Ellis appear in support of the de murrer; the Solicitor-General and Mr. Prior appeared for the relators, who are the minister and two of the members of the congregation. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Bdore Lard Chief Justice CAMPBELL and Justices PATTESON, WIGETMAN, and ERLE.) DOE DEM. EVANS V. WALKER. Mr. CROWDER said in this case, which was tried be fore Mr. Justice Erie at the last assizes for Eiceter, and a verdict found far the plaintiff, he had to move for a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered. It was an action of ejectment, in which Evans, the lessor of the plaintiff, claimed, as being entitled under a will, to a copyhold tenement in the possession of the de fendant Walker. The question was, whether the title of the lessor of the plaintiff had been established. The will was put in under the claimant, and it was evidently the production of a man who had made his own will, and who was ignorant of the meaning and effect of legal technical terms. The language of the will was—" I give, devise, and bequeath unto James Walker, druggist, son of Josiah and Mary Walker, one close cf land, known by the name of ' Four Acres,' now in the occupation of Thomas Salter, as tenant to me, but not to he sold or mortgaged." Under this clause James Welker came into possession. The will went on to say, " I give, devise, and be queath unto Elizabeth Sandare, two dwelling-houses which I hold for the life of Wm. Palmer. I also give, devise, and bequeath unto the said Elizabeth Sandar4 part of my household goads and chattels, tes tamentary estate and effects, of whatever name or deno mination, except my cluck, bedstead, feather bed and bedding, which I give and bequeath unto Margaret Horsey ; and the remainder of my howhold goods, chattels, testamentary esinte; and effects, I give unto Margaret Horsey and Elizabeth Sanders, share and shat e alike." Now, it was contended that this was a residuary clause, carrying the land of the testator and the close in question among others. It appeared to him (Mr. Crow der) the ::,stator really thought, when he gave the land to Walker, arid said it was not to he sold or mortgaged, he have it to him thinking it would descend to him, and not be sold or wortgeged. Lord CAMPBELL said the Court was bound to consider that the testator was aware that he gave only an estate for life. He (Lord Campbell) thought it was quite clear that the remainder in the " Four Acres" devised for life to James Walker passed under the residuary clause to Elizabeth Sanders. The words in the resi duary clause were abundantly sufficient to carry the realty as well as the personalty. The rule was refused on that ground.' On another point, as to whether the property was properly conveyed to the lessor of the plaintiff in the Copy hold Court, The COURT said they would take time to consider their judgment. EXCHEQUEB.—(TMS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON, and Barons PARKE, RoLrE and PLATT.) THE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME. &CONNOR. V. BRADSHAW. _ It will be recollected that this action, which was tried at the last Nisi Prius sittings in Middlesex, and in which a verdict was found for the defendant, was brought against the proprietor cf a Nottingha j m journal for the publication of a libel, refltcting upon the character of Mr. Fergus O'Connor, M.P., in connexion with the " National Land Scheme," of which he was the pro jector. Mr. Sergeant Marines, who applied yesterday for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be bad, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge who tried the case, mid the rejection of important evidence, but who had not concluded when the Court rose, was again heard this morning. He complained that his Lordship had left to the jury what was ex clusively within his own. province. It appeared that in commenting upon the pica of justification, his Lordship told the jury that if they believed the evidence, that portion of the plea bad been proved which alleged that the depositors in the bank had no security on the land purchased by the National Land Company, and he then left it fur them to say whether tha word " dis honesty" as applied to the conduct of the plaintiff, had been sustained, observing that he could give them no assistance whatever in the decision of the question. He (Mr. Sergeant Wilkins) now submitted that it was the duty of his Lordship to have • stated to the jury the import of the word dishonesty. His Lordship also told the jury that the' society was illegal, adding, he had no hesitation in saying so, because it clearly came within the Lottery Acts. But ho (Mr. Sergeant Wil kins) contended that it could not come under the provi sions of those statutes, because it only resembled a lot tery in haVing a systole of balloting, and that balloting was not for the property itself, but for a priority of claim. If such a principle were established, nearly every building society and benefit society in the kingdom would become a lottery. The scheme did not hold out the advantages of a lottery to the subscribers, but pro mised to . give them, after a certain length of time, the value of, the money which they had deposited. A difh ference of opinion upon this very point existed amongst some of the most eminent lawyers, and at present a case was befoie the Court of Queen's Bench which was to decide whether the society was entitled to complete registration or not. There was - another part of the summing up to which he wished to refer. His Lordship said that Mr. O'Connqr might have treated a subscriber who wished for a return of his money with defiance, because he had invested it in nu illegal undertaking, and the law gave him no protection • and. further, that all the money de posited in the bank would go to the assignees of Mr. O'Connor in the event of his becoming a bankrupt. In the course of the trial documentary evidence was produced with the view of showing that the plain tiff had only acted in the capacity of a trustee, but that it had been rejected, and of that re jection lie had now to complain. The ruling, however, of the Learned Judge was incorrect in point of law, be cause the 79th of the 6th Geo.IV., c. 16, gave poi er to the Lord Chancellor to order the return of all property which was held by the bankrupt as a trustee, but which had been seized by his assignees. Such an observation, therefore, on the part of the judge wes greatly calcu lated to ; mislead the jury and to excite a prejudice in their minds against Mr. O'Connor. The verdict of the jury was one of rather a singular nature. The first issue on the plea of not guilty was found for the plaintiff, and the s esond, on the plea orjustification, was found for the de fendant, and tie verdict was coupled by a statement that the jury, were unanimously of opinion that the personal honour of Mr. O'Connor remained unimpeached and untouched. He could only account for this verdict by his Lordship telling the jury over and over again that they were to take into account the bona fides which were proved by Bradshaw, the defen dant, but which he submitted ought to have been ex cluded from their consideration. On those grounds the Learned Sergeant contended that he was entitled to ask for a new trial, but said he would have no objection to withdraw his application if the defendant would agree to enter the issue on the plea of justification for the plain tiff; and the 'plaintiff would have no objection to give him the issue on the plea of not guilty. The . CHIEF BARON observed that if there was any prospect of some arrangement being made the Court would grant time to the parties. Mr. Sergeant Wements said his Learned Friend Mr. Roebuck was aufortunately not instructed.in the case. TheCuur BARON—Then we will take time to con sider our judgment. HAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) ENLARGED RULE PAPER. Mr., Justice COLERIDGE intimated that the Court would take the enlarged rule paper on Thursday and two following days. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. SMIRK applied to the Court for leave to file a criminal infoimation against a gentleman whose name did not transpire, residing in the West of England. The partyon whose behalf the application was made was connected with the gentleman by marriage, the applicant having married the gentleman's sister, and some un happy difference' having arisen between them on the subject .of their pecuniary affsirs the gentleman had been betrayed into writing the following letter, which was forwarded to the applicant on the 17th inst.:— " Sir, —Understanding that last evening you received my wife and child at your house, contrary to my wishes, and she having promised me not to visit you, I consider your conduct, after what has pre viously transpired, very paltry and unlike that of at, gentleman. I therefore send this through my friend Mr. —, who is fully authorised to act for me, and I have only to add that unless you give me a meeting I shall proclaim you to the world as a dastardly coward." _ _ The,applicant construed this letter into a chal lenge; to ' fight a duel with the writer, although he had never received any intimation that his sister's visits were; forbidden by her husband; and as he was appre hensive that a breach of the peace would be committed unless the violence of his brother-in-law were restrained, he was anxious to file a criminal information against him.

She therefore prayed that Lord Frankfort might be declared in con tempt, and that a decree might issue, directed to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, to sequestrate the real pro perty and estate of Lord Frankfort. Dr. lIARDING,i who appeared for Lotd Frankfurt, urged that his Lordship's income had been so greatly diminished that ho could not afford to allow Lady Frankfort the aura fixed by the Court.
