There is a lady in this great capital, personally a total stranger to ourselves, but known to us and to the vast body of the community by her very noble and beautiful reputation : a lady whose benevolence is fast growing into a proverb, whose philanthropy has revealed itself, and is still revealing itself, in the be stowal of inestimable benefactions upon her fellow creatures, and whose generous solicitude to advance the interests of humanity attested its earnestness during several years in a remote quarter of the globe - by her self-sacrificing devotion to the unfortunate till those who have interested themselves in be- half of the destitute population of the United Kingdom, or who have acquired any fa miliarity with the recent history of colonisation in Australia, will recognize at a glance that our anti- sions are directed to no other than the humane Mrs CinsuoLm, a lsdy who has beela not infaicitously desig nated " the Mrs. Far of emigration." Our object in directing attention at this moment to the labours of this distinguished benefactress of the poorer classes, _ _ is to enforce by our coincident opinion, as far as the readers of this journal are concerned, the remon strances recently addressed by her to the, committee of the Family Colonization Loan Society against the system, unhappily too much in vogue, in reference to the selection of the individuals to beconveyed as settlers to our different trans-oceanic possessions. According to that system it is decided that single men older than thirty-five years are ineligible, that parents aged above forty, having families of children, are de barred from any participation in the benefits of such assistance, and that the individuals most readily aided in this kind of expatriation are young married couples a ithout offspring. Against this perverse and erro neous mode of selection Mrs. CHISHOLM raises her voice with a most eloquent earnestness, as against " a gross outrage to humanity, a violent rending of the tenderest ties of nature, and injurious t o morality." These objections are directed through the new society for the advancement of colonization against the plan upon which the Government are now carrying out the emigration movement. For the plea adopted by the Government is a plan based upon these mistaken and pernicious principles. The fal lacy of the entire scheme has unhappily been but too plainly testified by the general results of its opera tion. Failure,' in fact, in its regard was nothing less than inevitable. In consequence of the narrow mar gin allowed to those agents who have had to select from the numerotis candidates far aid in the way of emigration, faniily bonds have been torn asun der, the youthful and inexperienced have been separated from those whose age and relationship would have constituted them their best guardians and advisers, strangers to each other the young emi grants have been conveyed to their respective settle ments, there to work out their destinies as they best could, dejected and unfriended. In lieu of this prepos terous system, a system as obviously irrational as it is notoriously detrimental to the interests of the ap plicants for. aid in emigration, Mrs. Crump:nee pro pounds a scheme simple, practical, and benevolent. What is suggested by this patroness of industrial emigration may be very easily specified and very readily comprehended. Its appreciation will prove necessarily the sequence of its examination. Briefly then :—it is proposed that at stated intervals, in a room connected with the establishment of the new association, groups of persons desirous of emi grating shall assemble together, there to talk over the best method of proceeding, aided in their delibe ration by original letters from emigrants, colonial papers, and other authentic documents. By this means strangers can form an acquaintance with each other, and this acquaintance, prior to their depar ture in company, may ripen into the intimacy of friendship. Family will become associated with family before the arrival of the time of embarkation ; and any unfriended orphan, or helpless girl, will be especially placed under the protection of some elder of a family by Mrs. CHISHOLM herself, the least competent to look after their own interests being thereby humanely pro vided with advice and assistance before leaving Eng land, during the outward voyage, and after their ar rival at the distant settlement. Anything more familiarly practicable than this scheme of proceeding is to our; mind beyond the reach of contrivance. Again, in the distribution of pecuniary assistance, a wise and judicous economy will be observed, the advances being made upon good, but at the same time convenient, security, the emigrants engag ing to repay the amount of their loans (without inte rest), individually and collectively, within a period of two years or upwards; these stipulations being made by " friendly parties, or groups of approved indivi duals, who are acquainted with each other's character." By this arrangement it will be at once perceived that a sympathy will be established between all the diffe rent members of such a group, each one becoming nes cessarily interested in the good success of the rest as ,well as of himself, so that the liabilities for which they are mutually responsible may be duly ettended to within the prescribed interval. Out of this connecting interest will, iu the majority of instances, spring a willingness, or rather we may say, an actual solicitude to labour, each one for their common advancement. Every member Of the family or group with sedulous. endeavour, not merely to push onwards hirnself, but to aid his comrades in doing the same, so as to deserve individually and col lectively their = common prosperity. Under such management as this we may at length hope to witness the arrival of that period anticipated by the benevolent or i g inator of the system, when ~youngwomen may be sent into a ship with the same confidence with which females now enter our trains and mail-coaches." Whether this time, may arrive sooner or later must, of course, yet awhile remain merely matter for conjecture, but that it will ulti thately be witnessed we are sanguine and—what is mole confident - 7 confident from our reliance upon the, practicability of the system projected by Mrs. CHISHOLM, and upon the continuance of the unwearied industry hitherto evinced by that eminent philanthropist. After three days' bitting, the National Reform Con ference ha i , f or th e present, concluded its labours. Chosen delegates from all pa re presenting the various. associations rts o f thatthe country, t rsyp,r Sprung g up throughout the length and breadth of the land, at tended in the metropolis for the purpose of explaining the state of politi ca l feeling in the determininga a n tt d en o t f ienn f the Legislatureontheb"ttonitodheeand wishes They o se wants f re of attracting districts, whe e! met people.attracting the of the great body of the many enthusiastic and zealous m en , ser vices have been already recognised b y large and ier innfithu; ential constituencies, and who are now placed proud position of popular representatives, wh o h ave achieved seats in the British Senate, and who were ready to account to their brethren for the manner in which they collectively and individually had fulfilled the important and arduous dutiei confided to their charge. Although the most perfect freedom of speech WAS accorded to each there was no discord or dissen sion.. With some insignificant exceptions, every dele gate submitted cheerfully to the decisions of the busi ness committee, and there was scarcely an attempt made to divide the assembly by the introduction of topics on which there would neces sarily have been differences of opinion. The result was that an almost unparalleled unani mity was attained, which affords the most propitious auguries cf future success. What may not be anti cipated from men who - are willing to y ield some par bon of 'their own cherished opinions in order to co operate to get h er , earnes tly a nd efficiently, to achieve the common object and to carry out the great princi ple in public policy—" the greatest good to the LO'4DON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 18,50.

Toe Count DE Taomitn, who seemed startled at this report, moved that it should be printed and discussed immediately, which was agreed to. GERATANY. The Berlin Ministerial journal, the German Re• form, of the 22d, publishes the two following official notes : " A cabinet council . was held yesterday, at the Belle Vue, at which M. Von Redowitz attended, mho had come expressly from Erfurth. "We learn that the Prussian Government has re solved not to interfere with the sittings of the Erfurth Parliament, but to fi❑ish the solution of the questions which have been submitted to it." • The 'Kohler Zeitung has letters from Karlsrhue of the 23d instant, containing sore account of the pro test which Austria and the South German States made against the occupation of the Grand Duchy of Baden by Prussian troops, and against the military convention between that Grand Duchy and Prussia. Baron Prirwesnrßa, the Austrian Ambassador in Bader, communicated to Baron KLUBER, the Baden Minister of Foreign Affairs, a remon strance, . which was d a ted the 24th Much, in which tne Grand Du c hy was threatened with the displeasure both of Austria and Wurtemberg. Baron KLUDER'S reply to this remonstrance shows that the Grand Duchy of Baden, 'canon a prey to the most dangerous convulsion, in May, 1849, op plied to an Austrian Priece—viz., to the Regent of Germany, for assistance and support, but that that Prince referred them to the King of Pitussia, pro testing that the King of PRUSSIA alone possessed the means required, and the confederate spirit (Bun desmassige Gcsinnung), to support his fellow princes. Thus thrown upon Prussia, Baden could not but accept the assistance. of that Power, especially since Austria was in the same predicament, and equally compelled to appeal to the assistance of foreigners. As to the next neigh bours of. Baden, it is on record that the kingdom of Wurtemberg refused to protect in its territories even the loyal among the Baden troops, thus exposing them to death or captivity at the hands of the insur gents.; and as for Bavaria, the salvation of that coun try is owing to the same Prussian troops who libe rated Baden. The liberators of Baden are still in that country, where they will remain until the re organization of the Baden troops shall be completed. This reorganization cannot, of course, take place in the province where these melancholy mutinies oc curred. It cannot take place either in Wurtemberg or Bavaria, norin France, nor in Switzerland. These ere the points of Baron KLUBER'S reply. DENMARK AND THE:DUCHIES. In the Bitting of the Danish Lower Chamber at Co penhagen on the 20:h, the third debate on the war tax for 1850 took place. The deputy DAVID combatted the invidious comparisons of the Schleswig-Holstein journals on the faintheartedness. of Denmark in de manding only 2,000,000 rix-dollars, and the readi ness of the N ational Assembly (Landes Versammling) in granting 6,000,000 marks ; and added that a peo ple and a Government who had to build entirely upon the future would set to work in a far different IA ay to a so. called Government which could only reckon on the present moment; that a country where the ordinary receipts without war tax were as ample as before, had no need to use the same exertion as then, when revolution had sucked the marrow of the people, and stopped up the ordinary resources of the country. ITALY. A serious fracas took place at Naples on the 7th, between some Neapolitan soldiers and French sailors. The latter were attacked by the soldiers with the greatest ferocity. The Neapolitans, who far out numbered. the Frenchmen, charged them with bayonets; and having thrown them on the ground, trampled on and stabbed them. The Frenchmen eventually-escaped to their boat, which was fired at by the Neapolitan troops. A signal reparation for this outrage has been demanddd of King BOXIBA by the representative of the French Republic. The Giornale di Roma, of the 16th, states that on the preceding day Pius IX. left the Vatican, with a private suite and a small detachment of eight noble guards, and proceeded to the Liberian Basilica. lie afterwards unexpectedly visited the French military hospital, near the Church of St. Andrea al Quirinale. He spoke to the sick ih French, and expressed his • approbation at the order and cleauliness.which prevailed there. The Osservatore Romano says that the Pope has conferred the cross of Commander of the Order of St. Gregory to 14 I. secretary of the French police at Rome. The Commission of Government has prohibited the wearing of the Vicenza medals, which had been distributed to the Papal soldiers who defended Vicenza in 1848. The military post of the Vatican is to be occupied by French troops one day and Roman troops the other, alternately. Letters from Ferrara announce the death of Cardinal Cadolini, 'Archbishop of that diocese. The Milan Gazette publishes a notification of Count Radetzky of the 16th, ordering a loan of 120 millions of francs in.the Lombardo•Venetian territory, in or der to extinguish the Treasury bills in circulation. A voluntary subscription is to be opened for the pur pose ; but if this were to fail, the Government would take measures to ensure the regular circulation of the Treasury bills. THE BRAZILS.

PEDESTRIANISM EXTRAORDINARY. - A marine, named Thompson, last week performed the extraordinary feat of walking from the Marine Barracks (Chatham) to London- bridge and back in twelve hours and a quarter. He was habited in heavy marching order, that is, with great coat, knapsack, musket, bayonet, belts, cartouch-box, and 60 rounds of ball-cartridge. He accomplished the first twelN minis in less than two hours. . FOittIGN STONE.---A vcsser arrived from Calais has brought a quantity of blocks of stone as a portion of her cargo. The importation of stone is not usual from the French ports generally. greatest number?" The Machiavellian rule, divide et impera, has long been acted on by every Govern ment, and the people but too willingly ran into the snares that were spread for them. While such was the case, while party could be set against party, and class arrayed against class, the people were ignorant of their real strength and power. They neutralised the exertions of one ano ther, and prevented the attainment of objects desired by all by their mutual j ealowies. That this will no longer be the case, that there will henceforward be a judicious and well-devised organization and co operation of " the many," the proceedings of the Con ference afford the strongest promise. Such assemblages are at all times eminently useful. They awaken the masses to a sense of the wrongs under which they are suffering, and the nature of the remedies that must be applied. Each delegate re turns to his own locality animated with a double portion of zeal and anxiety Co promote the good cause ; he becomes a missionary, whose chief object is to instil a knowledge of sound principles into the inha bitants of his own district. On his return he will have much to tell to his associates that must excite the deepest interest. He will speak of the veteran JOSEPH Hueez,who for thirty-two years has laboured earnestly and efficiently—who commenced his politi cal career when it was unfashionable to be a Re former, and when any effort to ameliorate the condition of the many Wa3 looked upon as a most Utopian and Quixotic attempt, that might safely be treated with contempt and ridicule. He will tell of the gradual change that took place when rotten boroughs were disfranchised, and the first instalment of Parliamentary referm was conceded, until at length the Hon. Gentleman has attained a position and influence not exceeded by any Member on either side of the House. The application may easily be deduced. There is no question based on equity and jus tice that will not ultimately triumph. However dark and gloomy may be its: present prospects, however apcthetic and indifferent the people, truth will even tually prevail. He will also speak of the leaders of the " League," of those who first met in a small back rcom in Manchester, and Nvho, undeterred by the paucity of their numbers, or by other circum stances that might well have discouraged men of an ordinary stamp, entered upon a crusade against the iniquitous bread-tax, and ultimately prevailed against the united forces of the advocates of monopoly and protection—of those who style themselves the territorial aristocracy of the United Kingdom." He will state how he mingled with Cobden; Bright, and Crawford, with Hume and Fox and \Vatmsley, with Heywortb, the two Thompsons, and Kershaw, and with Lord Dudley Stuart, who, although by birth one cf the ancient aristocracy, has ever arrayed himself on the popular side, who has been the able advocate of civil and religious liberty, the tried friend of suffering humanity in every part of the world, and whose efforts on behalf of wronged end dismembered Poland, and liberal and disinterested assistance to the exiled patriots of that unhappy land, have given him an European reputation. All these things will be narrated by the returned delegates, and the one meeting to which we are now alluding will give rise to hundreds throughout the country. To hundreds did we say ? Aye to thou sands ; for not only will each man have to detail the entire proceedings to the association by which he was selected, but he will be followed for weeks after his return by hundreds of his associates, and each day will he have to narrate his adventures to new auditories. The urgent necessity of combined exertion will be thus forcibly impressed on the minds of all, and they will learn the discipline and tactics without which it is vain to hope fur suc cess. These unquestionable advantages will b e achieved by the judicious course adopted by the Council of the National Parliamentary and Finan cial Reform Association in calling together the con ference, and inviting the attendance of representatives from every association to devise the best means of giving a proper impulse to the public mind, and to mature a system through which the wishes of the people might be best forced upon the attention of the Legislature. In Monday evening's impression of our journal we shall publish in extenso the whole of the Governmelit Metropolitan Bill for the enactment of regulations regarding extramural interments. The readers of The Sun will thereby be enabled to examine the sixty-six clauses of the measure fur themselves, and to recog nise the justice with which we have inveighed against the principles incorporated in the scheme pro jected by the Administration. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Court of Cessation has given a judgment which virtually re-establishes the Censorship of the Press, or, more properly speaking, which gives to the Prefect of Police the power of suppressing every evening journal: it has decided that the sale of journals is illegal not only outside a shop or in the streets, but even inside a shop, without an express authorization of the Prefect of Police. Thus M. CARLIER has the power of prohibiting the sale of every newspaper except to subscribers; and he has prohibited the aale in shops of the Evenement and the Estafette, neither of which journals have been either convicted, or even prosecuted: this great defender of pro perty is therefore endeavouring to confiscatethe property of the proprietors of these journals. This conduct is pursued by M. CARLIER for the purpose, it is said, of enleavouring to provoke a premature explosion but the people have learned wisdom by experience, they keep within the bounds of legality, and render their enemies powerless by obeying the law. In the meantime MM. BAROCUE and CARLIEIC should con sider whether it is altogether wise to continue this system of confiscatingjournals, seeing that it is possible that they may be succeeded in power by those who may be inclined to "profit by the lesson they have taught them," and with whom "it will go hard but they will better the example." The division between the Ocleanists and Legiti. matists is so wide that there is every chance that M. EUGENE SUE will be elected, as it is not impre bahls that, even at the eleventh hour, M, FERNAND Fox may go to the poll. His resignation in favour of M. LECLERC was forced upon him ; and, not content with forcing him to resign, the Le gititnatist journals have published a paragraph stating expressly that M. FERNAND FOY had ex pressly engaged his friends to vote for M. LECLERC. To this statement M. For has published a direct con tradiction, and thus the division has become evident to all the world. Considerable sensation has been produced in the diplomatic circles by the receipt of a note from Prus sia on the affairs of Rome, by which Prussia has sig nified that she does not mean to allow a question of such immense general importance to be settled with out her concurrence. The Prussian note is de scribed to be one of great fairness and power. It is complained that hitherto no official intimations have been made of the proceedings of other powers, while it is contended that, although Prussia be what is called a Protestant power, yet that her Rhenish and other Roman Catholic subjects oblige her to look narrowly to the dealings of the great powers with the Court of Rome. In fact, Prussia contends that she has as good a right as England to take part in this question. England, it is said, sustains the claims of Prussia, so that neither Austria on the one hand, or France on the other, or what is more to the purpose, both by collusion, will be able to make cheap merchandise of the Roman people.

We have received from the committee of Spanish American bondholders the following summary of their recent advices from Venezuela:— " The Government will appoint a commission in Lon don for receiving the remittances and ming the divi dends, to be composed of the Venezuelan Consul, and two other gentlemen to be named by the committee. " The fourth part of the customs duties appropriated towards the domestic and foreign debt is to be distri buted as fellows:-221 per cent. to the domestic, and 771 to the foreign debt. , " The Executive haVe recommended to the Congress a plan for liquidating the arrears. " The Government declines acceding to the committee's tuggesion for appointing agents in Venezuela (similar to what takes place in Mexico), fir receiving the funds from the custom-houses, and remitting them to Eng land, but undertakes to make the remittances itself. "The committee have nominated the following gentle men on its part to act with the Vow zeelan Comet' as the commission of agency in London, viz.:—Baron de Golismid, the chairman, and J. D. Yowler, Esq.,deputy chairman of the committee."

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in BancO, la fare Justices PATTE6ON and IGHTMAN.) REGINA U. THE CALEDoNIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a demurrerarisingput of a mandamus to the Caledonian Railway Company, ordering tfem that an alteration of a carriage road which they had made under the Caledonian rind Carlisle Deviation Act' should be made in accordance with the plan, sections, and cross sections deposited with the Clerk of the Peace for the county cf Cumberland, preparatory to an application to Parliament for the Act authorizing the construction of the line. Mr. REW, who was counsel for the company, admitted that his clients had departed a little from the rules and sections in making the alteration in question, but con tended that they were author;zed in doing so, on the ground that a company was not strictly . bound to fallow in the minutest way the plans and sections they had de posited previously to applying to Parliament, inasmuch as the Legislature might, in granting the Act, make con siderable modifications in the plans so deposited. The COURT suggested that, as this wai a purely tech nical and engineering question, the parties bad better try to settle it out of court. Mr. MARTIN, the counsel for the corporation of Car lisle, expressed his readiness to do so. The alteration in question had tended seriously to mar the beauty of a road in the vicinity of Carlisle, called Irish Oats Brow, and the corporation were only desirous of mitigating in some degree the disagreeable result of binding the com pany to keep to something, like their original plan at that point, to which original plan the corporation had no objectior, hut from that plan the conlpany had ma terially departed. lie would suggest that the case he adjourned to the first Crown paper day in next term, to furnish the parties an opportunity of coming to an ar rangement. Mr. REw agreed to that suggestion on the part of the company, and the matter dropped. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Sergeant ti HEE was instructed to move for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should nut be fled against Mr. John Joseph Lawson, for certain libels published in the l imes newspaper, of which he was the printer and publisher. The Learned Sergeant made this motion upon the affidavit of Mr. Charles Nash, which stated that he was a Parliamentary agent, and his name had for many years been duly entered upon the roll of Parliamentary agents of the Home of Commons, duly authorised to act as such by the Speaker of the House of Commons. It . would be necessary, the Learned Sergeant said, to go into considerable details to warrant the making of the noeion. The libel in question appeared in a report of certain proceedings which took place in the House of Lords, which report Mr. Nash submitted was unfair and unjust, and highly calculated to injure hint in the estimation of his friends and of those who had been in the habit of retaining him as a Parliamentary agent. Mr. Nash, in his affidavit, stated that for some time past he had been engaged in the capacity of honorary secretary to a body of shareholders in the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway, and it had fallen to his lot to have the duty imposed upon him of investigating the conduct of Lord. Courtown, the chairman of the company, and of the directors, which, for a considerable time past had caused much uneasiness in the minds of the body of the shareholders, of whom he was the honorary secretary. In the spring of the year 1849 unusual anxiety arose respecting the financial po sition of the affairs of railway companies generally, and on the motion of Lord Brougham the House of Lords directed a return to be made of the state of the share capital and financial position of every railway in the kingdom. The directors of the Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow, and Dublin Railway neglected, and still continued neglecting, to comply with this order; and Mr. Nash, some short while ago, wrote to the Railway Commissioners, through Captain Harness, their secretary, intimating that be could fur nish the information required by the House of Lords, so far as the Wateriord, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway was concerted. Subsequently, on the motion of the same Noble Lord mentioned before. it was resolved by the House of Lords that returns which had not been made in pursuance of the order agreed to on the 3d of May, 1849, should be made forthwith, and, in accordance with his previous communication, Mr. Nash sent into the Commissioners, at their own request, a statement, with three appendices. the last of which was a copy of a return made to the House of Commons in 1846, pursuant to an order of the House, agreed to on the motion of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, which Mr. Nash bad copied from the original document as signed by Lord Courtown, the chairman of the mitripaoy, and deposited in the Journal-office of the Bans of Commons by the secretary of the corn parry. Mr. Nash stated that there could be no mistake as to this being the copy of an original document, as it was partly in his oW! handwriting and partly in his clerk's, with both of which Captain Harness and the Commissioners must have been familiar. The affidavit went on to state, that on the 15th of •March last Mr. Nash was accidentally present at the bar of the House of Lords, which was open.to all Parliamentary agents, vase he saw Lord Courtown and the Earl of Granville, chairman of the Railway Commiesion ; in close conver sation together. Shortly afterwards Lord Granville staled to the House that he heel a question of privile g e to submit with reference to the railway in question. The Noble Lord added that he had received a return, which purpoited to emanate from the company, but on inquiry he had found that not to be the case, and that it had net been signed by the chair man and secretary of the company, as it professed to be. At the suggeeitien of Lord Brougham, toe Noble Lord moved that Lord Courtowu should be called to the bar of the House, mind examined upon the matter. Lord Courtown accordingly appeared at the bar, and stated that the signature to the copy of the documenr, sent into the Commissioners was nut in his handwriting, and thereupon Mr. Nash was ordered to attend and explain the affair. On the Menclay fellowieg Mr. Nash, how.. - - hart ever, seeing the rnistake that Earl 'Granville fellen into, got Lord Beaumont to explain no return had been. made to the House of Lords, but 1.1,t the document suppofied be a retu rn vas nothing Inctedhare n copy - -of a , retrirn which hied been: made by the corepaey . to the House of Commoto,. could not postibiy be mistaken for anything else. 5 04 " were the facts es disclosed by the affidavit. 'The Leitri . '" Sergeant now proceeded to call the attention nft 4e ,;„ Court to the reports that appeared in the Times , and o' which, with the exception of a very fe:v lines, there was no ground for complaint. There were, ,Inwever , merits and expresaious in the report which r: ere net it l3 " tifitd by the actual facts that took place. lit ,the Tiln c l of Saturday, March the 16th, the followings tati que „ f appeared its the ordinary 'report of the preceee l ieg s the House of Lords, which Was also, in. substano peated in the summary which preceded the lenders:. 7 ; t " HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, MA.ncet 15.—The • - .i , I*s business. transacted was the issuing of an order that 1, , r * Naili attend at the bar on Monday next, to explain r' '_ turu made to the Basset) , Board, and subscquentlY Pr e '' seated by that Beard to the House of Lords, and note al leged tocontain a forgery of the name of the chairman steel '• secretary of a certain railway company. Owing to the, low tone in which Earl Granville spoke, we could not beer any particulars et the alleged forgery, and merely mention the - result t. f a conversation in which that Noble Earl, the Ea-1 of Courtown, and Lord Brotiehata toOk pert. The whole transaction was denotilced by Lor4. Brougham as a gross breach of privilege." It would be seen from this that Mr. Nash was cha r g ed with a forgery, while nothing had transpired ict t h e pro ceediugs of the House of Lords which cculd lead t.) such an impi'ession. On Monday, the 19th of Marc h ' Mr. Nash appeared at the bar of the House and wider vi ent a lengthened examinati©n touching the signatire to the copy of the return, which Mr. Nash st%ted vith i written by himself in his ordinary handwriting, In a ' was not intended as an imitation of Lord Courtowns signature, nor was the return intended by him to appear as a return made in pursuance of their Lordships' Pre vious order. The Times, in reporting this examination, gave it thus, still insinuating that Mr. Nash Wes charged with forgery. - MR, NASH. o On the motion of Earl Granville, Mr. Nash was then ordered to appear at the bar. "Mr, Nash was placed at the bar, and underwent an examir,atiou at some length by Earl Granville, Lord Brougham, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Beaumont, and Lord Monteagle. He stated that he was not the secretary of, ' the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow. and Dublin, Railvray CoMpany, but that ho was the tecretary of an association of share holders in that company, and that he had PO in to the Railway Commissioners, of his own re' cord, a c,)py of a return from the chairman and seere• try of thet company, because an order had been nisd e i , by their Lordships in 'sit March for the production el that return, and great delay had occurred in obtaining from tho company. The original return was made under an order cf their Lordship issued in March, 1846, sod' his copy of it—which was a literal and exact copy'. without any addition on his part—was made by himseit. from the original in the Private Bill-office. He had written on his copy 'Courtown, chairman,' in his ordi nary handwriting, and not with any intention of haviog it supposed that it was the genuine autograph of that nobleman. He had no power to put in the original re turn, nor could anybody put in that return without the authority of Parliament. If the original had been Isis" L4iug ever since he made his copy, he knew nothing abut it, and certainly had not abstracted i,t hinuelf. His ott ject in sending in his copy to the Railway Commiisiocer s "was to matte the case of the shareholders in that COrn' pany known to that body. A similar copy had been ex' Whited to the solicitors of Lord Courtown:, and they bad admitted that the signature appended to it was that ° Lord Courtown. Be had never heard till that momen t that the original return was now lost." On the 22d of the same month Mr. Nash was examined again, and ultimately, ou the lath of April, he again' appeared at the bar, and the proceedings were thus re ported in the Times of the following day:— " MR. NASH. Earl Granville moved thae Mr. Nash be hailed i° , reprimanded, and discharged. " Mr. Nash was accordingly brought to the bar, and, having brit fly addressed their Lordships in his defence, retire 1. " Earl Granville persisted in his motion, that Charles De Lacy Nash be then called to the bar and repri manded. He did not suppose that Mr. Nash had been influenced by any intention to perpetrate a fraud, but it certainly was a case upon which the displeasure of the House ought to be expressed. "Motion agreed to. "Mr. Nash then appeared at the bar. " Lord Campbell, being seated cn the Woolsack an d covered, said--Charles Do Lacy Nash, the misconduct by which you have incurred the displeasure of the House is that of having made a return Yr hiuh you were not re- - quired to make, and of having made it without the au thority of the railway company to which you professei to be secretary. The House has hopes that you were not actuated in this master by any fraudulent or ma'• licious motives; but at the same time the House bps had reason to be greatly dissatisfied with your con" duet. it being calculated to mislead the House, and to do injury to the company of which you are considered to have been an cfficer. Tne House has resolved that yoa be reprimanded, and you are reprimanded according l y and eliscilarged." Mr. Nash, in his affidavit, stated his belief that the words " brought to the bar," coupled with the insinuatio n ' of forgery, was calculated to induce people to believe that he was formally arraigned on a charge of f o rgery. which was calculated to do him a serious injury, and which he swore was wholly without truth alio entirely unfounded. He did not dispute the right of the Times or any other paper to publish for the information of the public the proceedings or the House of Lords; bu t he submitted That the Times might have delayed pub; lishiug the proceedings relating to him till they a" • been finally concluded, or have given them in a form that" was not calculated to indtice his friends and the public' to fincy that he was undergoing a trial as it wer e on a charge of forgery. He swore positireif that there was no truth or foundation for o°ll a statement as that which had already bc erl. read to the Court, and the Learned Sergeant ther efor ° submitted that a sufficient case was made out to ;P e thy a rule. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE did not think a rule ought V ; go in this case. lie would not say whether or not d i ' $ defendant bad laid himself open to an indictment for ' libel, but before an individual could seek th interference of the Court in the manner now Pr ° , josed be must show some intention to do ; uries on the part of the person publishing *",, libel. It did not appear in this case that there woes such intention, or that there had been any bad dis:°9l; tion displayed on the part of the editor of the paPo . : 1;; which the libel was alleged to have been publishe for, however erroneous.the statement might be that gr; Nash was charged with forgery, it was (111tvi evident, from the tenor of Mr. Nash's exansluat`,, e . on the subject of Lord Courtown's signature, that 1"; i impression intended to be conveyed was, that it b° , been forged. The statement that the name of the s $ eretary had b: ea signal to the return wss clearlY mistake ; but he did not attach much importarce E L, $ th a t circumstance, or to the statement that , 11 1' • Nash was " brought up" to the ba r. , sting of the affair was conveyed in the state , meat that Mr. Nash was charged with forger) , f f but as that did not arise from any malice on the part the reporter, or the editor of tho paper, but from t' p tenor or nature a the preedings which too plie ° , the House of Lorde, there oc was no ground to jcititl or , criminal information, however injured or age,rielel is Nash might feel, by the insinuations of the Nobbolla. who had undertaken the duty of examining him.• rule mutt, therefore, be refused. Rule refus,.d. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEA-I°' (THIS DAY.) if 141 (In the Exchequer Chamber, before Lord Chief J os& CAMPBELL, Mr. Baron PABIE, Mr. Baron ALDZIOO; Mr. JllStiCe CRESSIVELL, and Mr. Justice Elms.) THE QUEEN V. BENJAMIN HOPKINS BOND. Mr. Baran ALDERSON delivered judgment in this 0 8 0 ; which was argued curing the sittings of the Court , term, and in which two points were raised. On the firs:, which had reference to the admissibility of a par t C oo n t prisoner's examination before the magistrate, the l never entertained any doubt or difference of °pa:lino; fa appeared that the prisoner was examined twice hela°o.. the magistrate. On the first occasion he made a vall'ita tary statement, which the magistrate proposed to r e y on the second examination, but the prisoner's Otero: e objected, on the ground that he had made another etas r ment on being brought up the second time. The (1132 thin, therefore, was, whether the first statemen t - capable of being read. The Court was clearly es that it was, inasmuch es the usual (32 Lion required by the statute bad been giv en ., ed the prisoner on the first examination, and what transPitge on the second occasion did not affect the validity 01.,,a former statement. On the other point, which li'oa• very material one, the Court had entertained se siderable doubt, and he believed that they wer e net,n ; altogether unanimous in opinion. The indict-Ts,' charged the pii6oner with stealing :seventy soya° 14)0 140 half-sovereigns, 500 crowns, 500 half-crowrto et florins, 100 shillings, au 100 sixpences. The pri- to o was a clerk in a banking-house, and every denotairna so of coin which was in use at the time of the robberYthoet committed had been inserted in the indictment, h f o ol ) though - it was clear that some of those coins hol t alo taken, the evidence did not go to show which. t ree 9 trial Mr. .Instice Cresewell told the jury that if taco e Were satisfied the prisoner bad stolen som e of ntiolt moneys from his employers, though unable to ma b aa any particular species of coin, they were to ti n 3( guilty. The majority of the Court w ere ole o ' r Oa & opinion that the direction was an improP er i a The true criterion was that no one ee ti jolt found guilty of an offence unless thrtaeolor definitely faund that he bad stolen some le 1 ., th a e , coins mentioned in the ind ic tment , and there m ner . J'" verdict in the present case must be for the prisein the might, perhaps, be a considerable improvement coati° law to make it sufficient to state, that par t of 3 ~; VO‘ amount of property had Ix en embezzled or steill'ibet 0 ' until that improvement was made, they must ho'D'a&aing person eculd not be found guLtyaof stealing % c i a o''f else than that which he was proved to hale taken. d i 3441 ! Mr. Justice ERLE said be felt it his duty to k J ' t id% his Learned Brethren.
