" We regud the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.

THE IRON TRADE.—A further advance of twenty shillings per ton in the price of iron was declared by most of the large houses in the South Staffordshire district on Thursday last. This rise, notwithstanding the recent and rapid advances, did not, however, come altogether unex pectedly on the trade, as the principal ironmasters have for some time past declined to execute orders at the former prices. No fresh orders to any extent will, we believe, now be taken, unless at the advanced rates, and even these will be difficult to execute, as we are informed many of the manufacturers have more orders on hand than they can sup ply for the next twelve months. Whether the rise will be a permanent one, we cannot, of course, undertake to say, but the trade is regarded as in a most unsettled and feverish state, from the uncertainty as to the continuance of the present prices. As might be expected, under these circum stances, a corresponding advance has takenplace in nearly all descriptions of manufactured goods, including nails, in which a rise of fifteen per cent. has been declared. We are glad to find, as regards the nailers—a class of persons whose labour has been greatly depressed —an advance of ten per cent. on their wages was decided on at a meeting of the masters, held at Dudley, on Tuesday. Of manufactured goods for the foreign market, we may observe that the orders are compara tively light, the great demand being for iron rails, chairs, &c. —Birmingham Journal. THE BRITISH PLATE GLASS COMPANY. The liberal and comprehensive plan of Sir Robert Peel, so far as the recognition of free-trade principles is concerned, are already about to be brought into practical operation in this neighbourhood. Owing, in a great measure, to the restric tive and vexatious duties levied on glass, the above company relinquished business about two years ago, it being found impossible to carry on the manufacture without loss to the shareholders ; and their extensive works have, up to the present time, been at a stand-still. Since, however, the an nouncement of the Premier's plan of commercial reform, it has, we understand, been determined to bring the works once mere into operation ; the effect of which will be to give employment and bread to hundreds of families in the neigh bourhood. Independently of the demand which the home trade will create in a material which is susceptible of appli cation to almost every conceivable purpose of use or orna ment, our manufactures, released from the restrictions which pressed so heavily upon the trade will be able to enter into successful competition with our continental neighbours, and regain those markets abroad from which they were all but excluded by the policy or impolicy of our rulers.—Birming ham Journal. DINNER TO MR. BARON PLATT.—Last evening a sumptuous banquet was given at the Albion, Aldersgate street, by the members of the Home Circuit, to Mr. Baron Baron Platt, on his elevation to the Bench. The chair was taken by Mr. Sergeant Channell, the leader of the circuit, supported by a very large party, who assembled on this oc casion to do honour to the new judge. After the company had done justice to the entertainment, which was most ad mirably arranged by Messrs. Staples, the proprietors of the Albion, and the usual loyal to as t s h a d b een d u l y honoured, the Chairman proposed "The health of Mr. Baron Platt," which was received with enthusiasm. The healths of Mr. Sergeant Channell, Mr. Sergeant Shee, and other, leading members of the circuit were then proposed, and the company did not separate until a late hour. An apology was received from the Solicitor-General, expressing his great regret at being unable to attend the meeting, on account of the pres sure of his Parliamentary duties. MARRIAGES IN ENGLAND.—It appears from very elaborate tables, prepared by the Registrar-General of births, deaths, and marriages, and on Tuesday laid before Parliament, that the total number of marriages, in 1842, in England and Wales was, 118,825 ; of these 17,689 were in the metropolis alone. Of this number, 26,198 were persons who had been married before, the proportion being 15,619 widowers, and 10,579 widows. Thus, the proportion per cent. of those who were remarried was 11.02 for the whole of England, and 12.34 or the metropolis. The proportion of annual marriages to persons of all ages was 1 in 130 in all England, 1 in 102 in London; the annual marriages were to the persons aged from 20 to 40, nearly as 1 to 40 in England, 1 to 37 in the metropolis; or, more exactly, 2.515 per cent.; and 2.675 (as regards London). Taking 100,000 persons, it further appears, that in England, 1,473 were marr i ed of that number, all ages, 4,814 between 20 and 40, and 4,278 were " bachelors and spinsters married to 100,000 persons living, aged 20 to 40." There was, altogether, one marriage to 136 males and females living in 1842, but only one person married for the first time to 76.3 persons living, which may be considered equivalent to one marriage to 153 persons living. Eleven per cent. of the persons married had been married before, and had been enumerated in the returns of previous years. In 1839, the number married out of 100,000 males was 1,625; and of 100,000 females, 1,553 ; in 1840, 1,597 males, and 1,526 females • in 1841, 1,574 males, anti 1,504 femal es ; an d i n 1842, 1,506 males, and 1,439 females. Thus, it will be perceived that there has been a yearly de crease during that period. The annual average has been, however, ...1 in 64 out of 100,000, an d 66 f ema l es. THR BUDGET.— SUNDERLA ND , FEB. 17.—Copies of the Times, containing a full report of Sir Robert Peel's thumcial statement, with the subsequent discussion, arrived here by railway-train on Saturday night, and It has been ever since the theme of conversation in political and commercial circles. Its interest exceeded that of the Premier's statement on the 11 th of •March, 1842, and its receipt was much more grati fying. Almost without exception, the statement is favour ably received. It is true, many regret that Sir Robert has not felt it his duty to remove the tax irons incomes derived from trades and professions, which, by the bye, in consequence of there being no ap peal-courts nearer than Durham, presses with unusual incon . vez u il t ei t i l e . e , and harshness upon m en engage d i n b us i ness a t S un derland I removal of the export duty on coal and the duty on r e such excel lent propositions —so well ca l cu l a t e d t o extend the trade of the ' country, and a and especially of this district—that not a few i arc tl content,,nthat t l ti e be entire obnoxious income-tax a little longer, rat.'" -gradual the , budget should be lost.

The Coal Trade Associ a ti on (the owners union) and the 31iners Association (the 'Mittens' union) ILave equa lly petitioned for a remission of this duty, and its remission at this per i o d is the more gratifying, perhaps, because it was unex pected, the last deputation who waited upon Sir Robert Peel having reported unfavourably as to their interview. There can be no doubt that tho coal trade will now greatly increase, and if the coalowners would only take the Premier's advice, and break up the vends, all expectation, the increase would be so enormous as to exceed it is reported that, should the proposed measures pass, the manufacturers on the Tyne and Wear will materially enlargebtgtlaiessi; works, arid, in consequence, employ a great additional lim freights o f f hands.

We have only the Castor, frigate, here at this moment. The French are endeavouring to force an envoy on Pekin, but the Chinese Minister, Keying, will not hear. of it. Mr. Tetley, of the. Ordnance department, is gone to Chusan, as acting store keeper ; Mr. Boate has left for Manilla ; and Mr. Pett is principal storekeeper here. The Minden's establishment is reduced to a master, and it is reported that the agent victualler is to live on board ; it is also rumoured that she is to go to Trincomalee."

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant,' W. H. ADAMS. To Mr. W. Grimstone.

DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON nr AL SE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS, A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Rolins, „ one of our parishioners, commenced taking ” Halse's Scorbutic Drops" he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines heft re taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have so completely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic, Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1843. Tile above-mentioned Thomas Robins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before be commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that it was most awfhl to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful ; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. . . Read the following extract from the " Nottingham Review" : IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY, BAD LEGS, &c. " It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to be afflicted with scurvy wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well ascertained fact that Halse's Scorbutic Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun. No one is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of it ; indeed, we have known parties who have tried other advertised medicines without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparation, the now justly-celebrated Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has yielded as if by magic.

We bad anticipated great things from Miss • Ciishman's Lady Macbeth, and we have not been disappointed. She appeared in this character last evening, and, since the days of Mrs. Siddons, the British stage has seen no Lady Macbeth who can for one moment be compared to her. From the first scene to the last she was perfect. It was a Shaksperian re"- presentation in the highest sense of the word. Never has •' the power of thought, the magic of the mind" —never has the despotic power which the strong will exercises over the weak one, been more powerfully developed than it was by Miss .Cushman, in those scenes of the play in which Lady Macbeth screws the courage of her husband up t o "th e sticking place." There was something perfectly sublime in her manner of giving the words " Leave the rest to me." In the banquet scene, too, she was truly magnificent. ller manner of giving the words, " Are you a man ?" was perfeqly. thrilling, and contrasted most forcibly with the dignified condescen sion of her manner to her guests. The last scene was a - triumph of art. The audience shuddered at the " out damned spot ;" and in witnessing the closing agonies of that ambitious spirit, one was almost inclined to adopt the creed of those theologians who .issert that the real hell is the hell of conscience. It were useless to particularise further. Were we to point out all the beauties of her perfqrmance, we should have to transcribe the part, and to write opposite each line " beautiful," " perfect." Mr. Forrest was the Macbeth. Beautiful in parts—the dagger soliloquy, for . instance—it was as a whole most uneven. This gentleman seeks to produce effect by strong contrasts, but he, exaggerates too much ; his repose sometimes sinks into tame ness (at times he was quite inaudible), and his energy occasionally degenerates into rant. Still he possesses great power; but it wants regulation. Last night, however, can hardly be considered as a fair test of his abilities. At the very beginning of the evening there was a most' ungenerous attempt made to crush him, and the very fact of kn ow i ng th a t a portion of his audience is unfriendly to him is sufficient to de prive any actor of that perfect comma n d over hi s powers, which it is absolutely necessary he should have, to enable him to do full justice to his author and to himself. Graham's Macduff was a very careful and praiseworthy performance. Graham and Miss Cushman were called for at the fall of the curtain, and enthusiastically applatided. The house was crowded. ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY. We were much pleased, on visiting the Adelaide Gallery yesterday, with a lecture on Atmospheric Rail ways, delivered by Mr. W. J. Hay. This gentleman not only possesses a vast fund of information on the sub ject himself, but he also possesses the power of commu nicating that information in a clear and understandable Form to others. The lecture is illustrated by a model of •.1 railway, on which the carriages are propelled on at mospheric principle. On this model a small carriage drags a load of half a hundred weight up an incline of 1 in 6, with the greatest ease, and without any apparent loss of speed. Several gentlemen present put questions to the lecturer as to the principle of atmosphe ric propul sion, and as to the advantages which it possessed over the system at present in general use, all of which were answered satisfactorily—indeed, Mr. Hay throughout courted the fullest inquiry. During the present mania for railway speculations, this lecture cannot fail to prove attractive. NEW SETTLEMENT BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Tories, for electioneering purposes, made the first new Poor.law Act the stalking hobby—the " howl and Skilly" horse—upon which to ride. Mark their political vill—y ! Ever since they regained what they wanted— power, and to " landholder legislate as, for years, they had done—directly we had additional new poor-laws ! Not con tent with this, the Tory Government are now actually hatch ing a further poor-law, the effect of which will be to remove every chargeable poor person to their place of birth ! The Bill I have perused most attentively, and the more I reflect upon it the more the blood runs cold within my veins. Good God! every chargeable poor person to be removed to his birth-place I Surely, for the sake of humanity—for the sake of Christian feeling—this Bill will not pass into law. I hope every honest Member in Parliament will oppose its progress obstruct," as the Tories did any good measure of the Whigs—obstruct its progress in the Commons ; and if they see it is creeping its ugly length along continue to obstruct and retard, as much as possible, so as to afford the public an opportunity of petitioning against it. Shoidd 'this out rageous Bill become a law it is impossible to foresee its con sequences. I am, Sir, Peb. 18. AN ENEMY TO OPPRESSION. P.S. No Tories running about and getting spurious signa ,ures now against the poor-law. Oh, no ; their " friends" ire the poor•law enactors now ; so that makes all the dif- rere4ce. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked yesterday morning in the royal gardens of Buckingham Palace. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice were taken airings yesterday in the gardens of the Palace. His Royal Highness Prince Albert rode out on horseback yesterday, attended by Colonel Wylde, Equerry in Waiting. The royal dinner party at Buckingham Palace yesterday evening, included the Duchess of Buccleuch, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl Jermyn, Lord George Lennox, and the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert. A military band was in attendance at the Palace during dinner. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge attended Divine service yesterday morning in St. George's Church. The Duke of Cambridge, attended by Baron Knesebeck, honoured the Right Hon. Sir William Fremantle with his company at dinner, last evening, at his residence in Great Stanhope-street.

The Portuguese Minister, and the Prussian Minister, trans acted business. yesterday, at the Foreign-office. Lord Kinnaird, and a deputation, had an interview with the Earl of Dalhousie, yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. DEATH OF SiR, T. F. BUXTON, BART.—We regret to state that letters have been received in town this morn ing, announcing the death of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, Bart., on the 19th inst., at his seat, Northrepps, Norfolk, after a lingering illness, which for the last f or t n i g ht h a d con fined him to his bed. This distinguished man first became known to his country by his exertions to diminish the suf ferings of those at home, whether confined in gaols or strug gling in deepest poverty, as the Spit a lfi e ld s manufacturers a quarter ofa century age. Entering Parliament, he commenced that career of enlarged and comprehensive usefulness which will always associate his name with the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, and with the most active endeavours to confirm and improve the measures for the abolition of the slave-trade; and not less with the admirable, though not equally successful, efforts for the benefit of the African race in their own vast continent. The comparative failure of the Niger expeditton preyed, thei e was reason to fear on his spirits and on his health ; though he never ceased to feel, that every measure which wisdom and zeal, combined in the Go vernment which directed that expedition, could effect to in • sure its success, had been faithfully employed; but it pleased God otherwise.

Freeman, was b roug ht t o re cover the sum of 251, being a bet lost on the issue of the race fur the Derby. It appeared that the plaintiff is a painter, and the defendant a butcher in Titchlield-street, and he betted the field against Running Rein, Orlando, and Ratan, and in consequence of the dispute as to which was the win ning horse, he refused to pay the bet. Counsel for plaintiff said the difficulty which had arisen was,whether the plaintiff ought to claim on Running Rein as being the first horse in, or on Orlando, who, it had been decided, was the winner. The whole of the facts were stated in the declaration. The Judge said there was no necessity for them to try that point ; they had claimed on Orlando; the only point to prove was the making of the bet. A witness gave evidence of this fact, and that Running Rein and Orlando were thefirst two horses in. The jury found a verdict for the amount claimed. ' FALL OF PART OF AN IRON ROOF.—Considerable alarm was excited in Salford, on Saturday morning last, by the fall of the greatest portion of the roof of one of the buildings of the Man chester Bonding Warehousing Company, Chapel-street, which for many years was used as the cotton warehouse, in connexion with the mill of Messrs. Philips, Lee, and Co. The gable-end of this building fronts Chapel-street. The building is about one hundred and twenty feet in length and forty feet wide. The roof was an old cast-iron one, much decayed, and was supported by two ranges of iron columns (the building belt g fire-proof ), dividing the building longitudinally into three bays. These columns were very slight, and from iron cups, let into the top of these pillars, very light principals of cast iron were carried, :at a shallow spring, to support the roof, or rather roofs, for it was in three divisions. Several workmen and others were upon the roofing, which was undergoing re pairs, when about twenty minutes before eleven o'clock, the whole of the division next the yard of the premises :fell at once, with a loud crash, and this dragging the tie-rods down, dislodged the pillars on one side of the centre bay, about a third of the roof of which next fell, followed by a rather larger proportion of that of the other outer bay ; so that, in all, about two-thirds of the roofing fell. Fortunately, no ono was in the uppermost room, which was quite empty. It was also fortunate Clint, a short time since, this room had been celled with plaster, the ceiling supported by beams, &c., wholly independent of the roofing, so that this broke the fall, and rendered it less destructive to the floor than so great a weight of iron must otherwise have proved. One man, named James Liptrot, a hired porter, was much hurt, receiving several cuts, wounds, and bruises, about the head and face. Amongst the individuals on. the roof was a clerk of Mr. A. Mills, architect, who escaped without injury. Upon inspection, yesterday, it was f oun d that nearly the castir one ups in one range of pillars had been cracked or torn, o ,ttyptt l rentlytir a long time, by some severe shock or strain, and ono the g _ y prindipais was also broken. The cast iron beams were ce slender; and being only an inch and three-quarters d eep, halt' inch thick, and nine feet hi length.--Jfaidiester Guardian.

P Ou Monday evening the King and Queen of the French received the British Ambassador, the Marquis de Dalmatie, Rear-Admiral Hernou x , General de Saint Joseph, and M. de Givre, Members of the Chamber of Deputies. The Committee on the Budget continued its examination of the Navy department on Tuesday. It gave its assent to some augmentations of salary, such as for captains of cor vettes, &c. It also approved of the increase of the number of mechanicians on board steamers. The disturbances in Switzerland continue unabated. The Protestants and Catholics are preparing for a contest which can only be prevented by the interference of foreign Powers. The Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons has, it, is said, arrived in Paris, for the purpose of meeting the charge of abuse of functions, in commenting upon and condemning, in his pas toral letter, a work by M. Dupin, on education. A letter from Alexandria of the 26th ult. states that on a report of his medical advisers, Sami-Pacha has obtained leai-e from the Viceroy to reside in Paris. It is thought at Alex andria that this is a pretext of the Paella to have a repre sentative at Paris, without giving offence to the Sultan. A man named Marchal, who was condemned to death for the murder of his father, was executed at, Nancy on the 15th. He walked to the scaffold in the costume of condemned par ricides, viz., in his shirt, and wearing a long black veil, with his feet bare. He was full of contrition, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and prayed fervently up to the moment of execution. Hasle, who was condemned for tkelnurder of a widow and her daughter, who had given him-in asylum for a night, was guillotined at Rennes on the 15th. The celebrated banker Benedicks, formerly partner in the eminent firm of Michaelson and Benedicks,- of Stockholm,, died recently in that city, aged eighty-three years. The de ceased possessed several iron and coppe r m i nes , an d l eaves a colossal fortune. He has bequeathed above 50,000/. to various public charitable institutions. A St. Petersburg!' letter of the 6th, in the Berlin State Gazette, informs us that the Emperor of Russia, although . able to take exe rc i se d a ily, was still i n di spose d , and the Em press was suffering from palpitation of the heart.

A letter from Frankfort of the 14th says :—" It is known that a demand was made to the Diet by several States of Germany for the suppression of all the public gaming estab lishments in the Germanic Confederation. In consequence of this demand a Committee was appointed, which decided that all the existing contracts shall be completed; but that no new contracts shall be entered into. Instructions to this effect have been forwarded to all the States.

The plaintiffs had brought an action for libel against the defendants, in which they had been unsuccessful, and the plaintiff and his wife.had been arrested by defen dants for their costs. Plaintiff's wife was subsequently dis charged, and then the present action was brought. The de fendants pleaded a justification, and on that plea the jury gave them their verdict. At the Lancaster Assizes, Thomas Donahoo was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, at MyerstOne, It ap peared that the unfortunate woman had come "'time in a state of intoxication, which so enraged the prisoner that he struck her a blow which terminated her existence. Ho was found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to be transported for life. . . A lad, named Th omas J ones , was c h arged at Guildhall, with stealing four sovereigns from a bowl of money, exposed in the shop-window at Mr. Walton's, a jeweller in Ludgate street. He was remanded until Saturday. At Bow-street, Edward Spicer, a mail-guard, in the ser vice of the General Post-office, was charged,. before Mr. Jar dine, with stealing 171. 16s. from a letter which had been posted on the 18th of January last. The charge was clearly proved, but the prisoner was remanded for a few days in order to complete the case. COURT-FASHIONABLE.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A COURT OF JUSTICE. At the Public Office yesterday (Friday), after a charge against sonic prisoners for stealing toilet bottles had been disposed of, Inspector William Hall handed up to the Mayor (who, with Mr. Weston, the ex . -Mayor, presided) a slip of prper, which, we were subsequently informed, contained the following notification :—" Feb. 14, 1845.—Inspector Hall begs leave most respectfully of the Mayor to allow him to resign forthwith." After presenting his resignation, The brayer said—l will see you after, Mr. Hall. We can not accept your resignation without knowing what it is for. Mr. Hall (in an excited tone)—That has nothing to do with the matter. You may as well accept my resignation now as any other time; and if you do not, it shall come be fore the public. The Mayor here attempted to interpose, to put an end to further discussion in such a place. Mr. Hall—l have been most grossly insulted by Mr. Weston, the ex-Mayor—a greater vagabond never was seen on the bench ; and I now tender my resignation as a man. [This language of Hall produced great sensation in court.] The Mayor—Mr. Hall, this is very improper language. Hall—l don't care, I will have something to say about you before the public, before I have done. The Mayorl do not care what you have to say of me before the public. Hall—l will not serve such a corporation and such a b-- set of thieves and vagabonds any longer. There are a few thieves there (pointing to the gallery), that are a d—d sight more respectable and more competent to fill that situation. I can go and get a porter's situation at 128. or 14s. a week, as you did when you were at Mr. James's, in the Bull Ring. Hall was proceeding in this abusive and violent strain, in spite of the repeated efforts of Mr. Gem, magistrate's clerk, and Mr. Redfern to restrain him, the latter frequently ejacu lating "Hall ! Hall !" in a deprecating tone. In reply to the remonstrances of these gentlemen, Hall continued, "I don't care ; r I know what I am doing," and (turning to Mr. Weston), exclaimed with vehemence, " You have been studying the law, have you ? You have been studying the law and morality? Recollect Highgate! I can live upon 12s. a week, and upon porridge, as you did in the Bull Ring." Hall was here bustling towards the door, when Mr. Weston who had during the extraordinary scene remained silent and perfectly undisturbed, addressed him and said, " Hall, the Mayor and myself dismiss you." Fall—Very well; that is done, that is better; you have been obeying the law, and at the same time you have been studying a d—d deal of immorality. Hall here left the office. There are various surmises as to the real cause of this scene, some attributing the inspector's violence to mental aberration, while others, who see a " method in his madness," do not hesitate to say that it is the first act of a plot got up to in sult the Chief Magistrate of the borough, and bring the authority of the Corporation into disrepute.—Birmingham Journal. REVOLUT lON AT ICHABOE. Strange as such a fact may be, it is not more strange than true. By letters which have arrived in town this week, it is stated that a complete, and happily, a blood less revolution had taken place at Ichaboe, at the date of the last dispatches. It seems that in the operations of the first six months after the island was visited, a host of agents or supercargses established themselves on the island, erecting tents and temporary residences. In a short time they marked off the ground, and laid claim to all the principal parts as their own bone fide property, on behalf of themselves and their employers at home, erect ing loading stages, and selling pits at extravagant prices. Till the revolution no opposition was made to this nude of procedure, and the consequence was, that ultimately no ship, unless the captain submitted to these land sharks, could get a shovel's breadth of ground to land upon. When an agent had a ship loading at his stage, he pur posely kept dallying with the work, until another ship from his house at home would arrive to take up the berth, although there might be three hundred other ships surrounding the little island, and waiting for access to the beach. Squabbles and small fights were of continued occurrence, and increas e d unt il a s l oop of war arrived to preserve order. Her commander remained till he be lieved his presence was no longer necessary. On the following day the demurring shipmasters held a meeting, and it was very soon resolved that a general reform should be made instanter. There were about 300 ships at moorings, and each ship agreed to send her proportion of men ashore with guns and bayonets, mustering altogether about 1,400 men. Supercargo tewn was attacked, and its entire population put to the rout at the point of the b a y onet, and driven directly into the sea up to their chins, and the discomfited landlords there and then made to swear, that from that time henceforth they had relinquished all right and title to the soil of Ichaboe, after which declaration they were permitted to return to their respective places of abode. This sum mary proceeding produced an entire chango in the civil affairs of the island, and skips are now loading at the rate of 50 tons a day after lying idle for months, — Greenock Observer. COURT or SESSION (SCOTLAND).—A return of the number of causes instituted and decided in the Court of Session, from the Ist day of January, 1844, to the Ist of January, 1845, has just been presented to Parliament, and punted by order of the House of Commons, pur suant to the Act I 'William IV., cap. 69. There appear to be five Lords Ordinary—Lord Cunninghame, Lord Murray, Lord Ivory, Lord Wood, and Lord Robertson. In the " outer house," as it is called, the number of causes enrolled for the first time before all the Lords Ordinary amounted to 1,457, the number of decrees in absence to 476 ; the number of final judgments pro nounced in litigated causes to 800, of which 20 were pronounced by Lord Cunninghame, 25 by Lord Murray. 73 by Lord Ivory, 229 by Lord Wood, and 206 by Lord Robertson. The total number of causes ready for de bate but not heard amounts to 94, and the total of causes ad avizanduni to 18. In the "inner house" the number of reclaiming notes presented against judgments of Lords Ordinary in the course of the same year amounted to 289, viz., 207 in the first, and 82 in the second division. The number of incidental and summary applications presented during the same period amounted, in the first division, to 580, of which 558 passed as matters of form ; and in the second division to 362, of which 330 passed as matters of form. The number of final judgments pronounced in litigated causes, without the intervention of a j ury, amounted to 122 and 96 in each division respectively.

PREVENTION OF SMOKE. —Sir William 11 lagnay, P Alderman John Johnson, asd sev era l scientific men, visited Mr. Godson's retises in Ald ersgate - street, on Wednesday, f or the purpose of witnes s i ng t h e operat i on of his app aratus for the prevention of the very offensive nuisance of smoke. Mr. Godson's patent furnace for the consumption of smoke has been under trial in the factory at the Dockyard at Woclwich, and at Ports mouth Dockyard, by the Government, and several re ports have been made most strongly representing its efficacy. The numerous gentle men who tested the Tiower of the apparatus expressed surprise at the extraordinary disappearance of smoke during the whole time the fur nace was blazing, and also at the simplicity of the plan. They remained during an hour on the premises, and expressed their admiration of the ingenuity by which one of the greatest nuisances the metropolis is infested with can be completely removed. Many Members of Parliament have been to examine the patent furnace within the last few ‘veeks, in consequence of the inten tion to legislate upon the subject of the prevention of smoke early in the present session. ti ENBZUELA SUGAR.—A return has just been pre sented to the House of °carillons, strait* the quantity of sugar which has been admitted for home consumption under the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 28, at the rate of 345. per cwt., and 5 per cent., between the sth July, 1844, and the latest period to which it could be made up. It appears that the total amount is 11 cwt. 2 qrs. 131 bs. of sugar, all of which is the produce of Venezuela. LAW INTELLI COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feh. 21. (Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD Climb' Banox and a London Jury.) O'CONNELL V. HEPWORTH AND ANOTHER. Mr. JAMES (with whom was Mr. Lush) stated that this was an action brought by Mr. Henry O'Connell, the illegiti mate son of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, against the defendants, as proprietors of a newspaper called The Wakefield Journal and lVestßiding Heruld,for a libel published in that paper on the Sth of March, 1844, reflectinn. on Mr. O'Connell' s charac ter. The Learned C ounse l s t a t e d that the plaintiff; although he inherited nothing else from his father, inherited some portion of his talent and eloquence, and as soon as he arrived at maturity, disdaining to be 'a mendicant on his father, he earned a livelihood by lecturing in various towns in the country on the science of astonomy. By the profits obtained from these lectures, the plaintiff supported himself and his mother, whose name was Courtenay. In the spring of last year the plaintiff lectured at Leeds, where his lectures were numerously and respectably attended. He afterwards proceeded to Wakefield, where he also purposed to give lie tures ; but, before any lecture had been delivered by bim that town, the defendants published the libel now complained of. The Learned Counsel then read the alleged libel, which was as follows : "Lectures on Astronoinv.—A Mr. H. O'Connell, who claims to be a son of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, M.P., has been delivering a course of lectures at Leeds this week, which have been very thinly attended, and gave but indifferent satisfaction. This Mr. O'Connell, we are informed, Is dis avowed by the learned Irish agitator, who declares that he is no son of his, and that it is a trick by the use of his name to gain audiences. We leave the disputants to settle their own quarrel, but it certainly is a singular thing for a father to deny his own son, and inercenav as we believe Mr. D. O'Connell to be, we do not believe him so lost to every sense of shame as to disavow his own flesh and blood. We un derstand this Mr. H. O'Connell is the same man who was exhibited at Exeter Hall some few years ago as the bastard son of the Honourable and Learned Member for ' all Ire land,' and whose exposure only threw ridicule upon the getters up of the affair. We perceive that the gentleman is posted on the walls of this town as Mr. H. O'Connell, the sen of Mr. D. O'Connel), M.P." Th e L earned Counsel said that -nearly every allegation contained in this paragraph was false. Mr. O'Connell never denied that the plaintiff was his son ; on the contrary, he had paid for his education until he was of an age to support himself. The plaintiff had never exhibited himself at Exeter Ball, as suggested; this was a piece of fabrication. In fact, the paragraph was as false as it was cruel and malicious; and it had been the sources of positive injury to the plaintiff. hle was engaged by a lady named Penn, who kept a boarding school, to give lectures to her pupils, but, after hearing of this paragraph, she declined to let him continue his lectures. In this, as in other cases of libel, it was impossible to know to what extent it might have injured the plaintiff to represent. him as an impostor. lie, therefore, called upon the jury to give rex sonable damages. Mr. WILKINS, for the defendants, submitted that a person who had the indelicacy to go through the country promul gating his own unfortunate situation and the frailty of his parents, was fairly open to the imputation conveyed in the paragraph read to the jury. All that the defendant had done was to suggest that the plaintiff's mother and father were not what he represented them to be. The Learned Gentleman observed that there was a new coin, half farthings, known in the north as "grahams." The plaintiff did not want damages, but notoriety ; let the jury give him notoriety, by being the first person to whom a British jury awarded a "graham." The jury, after five minutes' consideration, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages 101. - //, / U 1 1 ii
