It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance , ' both to the Inspired and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?reached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will Oeierrnine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as tire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average. the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to Ur e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter Into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insarers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, i t NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANN UAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy foe publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2to/.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when It is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of las+ 3rear. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of \lay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3e. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.

Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6(1., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id.

THOMAS RUSSELL, COUNTY MAGISTRATE. Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Victoria Tavern, Mornington-road, Camden-town, on the body of Thomas Russell, Esq., aged 73, a church trustee and chairman of the bench of magistrates for the St. Pancras division. Thomas Smith, Esq., of Haverstock-hill, was chosen foreman, and the remainder of the panel consisted of vestrymen and directors of the poor of St. Pancras. The body of the deceased gentleman lay at his late residence, 53, Albert-street, Mornington-crescent. Harriet Bloom said that she had been housekeeper to Mr. Russell, who was a single gentleman, for the last 17 years. lie left home on Monday morning about eleven o'clock, and she heard no more of him mail about four o'clock in the afternoon, when she was informed of what had happened, and that his body was on its way to his late residence. Deceased had an nttack of apoplexy about two years since, and from that time he appeared more forgetful. and had but indifferent health. Charlotte Farnan, the wife of a whitesmith, of Little George-street, Hampstead road, gave evidence touching the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Russell, as detailed in yesterday's paper. Mr. John Christian Day said he was a surgeon, resid ing at 42, Robert-street, Hampstead-road; he was called about half-past 3 o'clock on Monday. On reaching the house in Little George-street he found deceased on his knees in the closet, and a man holding him up in his arms. He was quite dead. He had since made a post mortem examination. The brain was congested and highly vascular. There had been previous inflammation of the brain, but no sign of recent disease. There was great opacity of the arachnoid, and the brain was softened all over. The heart contained a great mass of fluid blood, was much dilated, and exceedingly vascular. It was a very large muscular heart. The lungs were gorged with blood, although no vessel had given way in the chest. He had no doubt whatever, from the state of the head and chest, that death had resulted from apoplexy. Mr. Tunalley, his medical adviser, had stated that he saved him two years ago from an attack by bleeding. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death." EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SoMNAMBULIOL—On Thursday morning week, about three o'clock, a butcher, re siding near Whaley-bridge came to the house of a neighbour residing about a mile distant, and, after calling him up, told him that his youngest son, a youth about seventeen years of age, and two others whom he named, had just before been at his house, and after calling him out of bed fired a loaded pistol at his head with an intention to murder his. lie was expostulated with on the improbability of such a charge, as the son alluded had not been out of the house during that night, but the butcher stormed and would not be satisfied, and went away declaring he would inform the police and have them apprehended forthwith. About eight o'clock the accused's father walked over to the butcher's house to hear the parti culars of so serious a charge, but, he not being in the house, he mentioned the matter to his wife, who seemed thunder struck with astonishment and surprise, and said that her husband was subject to " walking dreams," and on the n ight in question she was dirturbed in her sleep by her hus band pulling off his clothes to get into bed. When she asked what he had been doing up at that time of the night, he replied that ne had been to the shippon to see that the cows were all right. She thought no more of it, but went to s l ee p ; and when she g ot up in the morning to milk the cows, was surprised to find them all loose in the shippon, with the exception of one, which bore visible marks of ill-usage in flicted with a strong stick, which lay close by, and which had been taken out of the house the same night. Seeing this, it at once occurred to her that he had had one of his el a res walking he dreams;ha d b not theut, what t a e s p t p e r a e r m s e m m h o r r e r c e strange,ec the hae flair, and had as good a night's rest as ever he enjoyed in his life.— Manchester Examiner. days touching old, whicht he CHILD POISONED BY ITS MOTHER AT ., WENTWORTH. —Oil Tuesday, at the Rockingham Arms,.lN en . tworth, Thomas inquiry died from the effects of laudanum administered by its death Badger,ef smqillegitimateale coroner, opene d child,3 courtfe fourteen e in e mother.

Special Jury.) HART V. BRADBURY AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by Henry Hart to recover damages from Nltskirs. Bradbury and Evans, the pro prietors of Punch, fora libel published in that humorous publication. Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Bovill, were for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, were for the defendants. There were three counts in the declaration, the first charging the publication of a specific libel, to which the defendants pleaded that they had made the publication without malice, and had subsequently published an apology, and had paid 51. into court as damages. The other two counts charged the defendants with publishing an ironical caricature of the plaintiff, and that the apology was not bond .fide, but that it was in reality a continua tion of the libel. To both these counts the defendants pleaded not guilty. The present action arose out of these circumstances. The plaintiff, who is. of the Jewish persuasion, had been taken into custody for inciting a young man, named Newland, to rob his employers; and, it will be recol lected, that about the same period another Jew, named Barnett, • was charged with a similar offence. Upon the trial of the plaintiff, it turned out that Newland had told a great many lies upon the matter, and as his evidence was not corroborated, in any measure, the jury ac quitted him. The • other man, Barnett, however, was convic:ed, and he was sentenced to he transported for fourteen years. It appeared that before the trial some comment had been made upon the conduct of the plaintiff in Punch, and it was for these comments that the present action was brought. • The defendants, it appeared, sub sequently published an apology, and in the same number there was a humorqus caricature, repreienting a Jew old clothesman, with a little boy, outside a pawnbroker's shop, and it was contended that the de fendants had made-an ironical apology, and published a malicious caricature,. with the intention of still injuring. the plaintiff. . • Mr. CHAMBERS, in addressing the jury for the defen dant, said, that although Punch had now been in exis.. tence a great many' years, and had been read with amusement and delight -by millions during that period, this was the first time the proprietors of this talented and clever publication had ever been charged with publishing a malicious libel. They had exposed the follies and vices of the day, and had even invaded the domestic peace of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, it was true, but no one had ever yet imputed to them a desire to do more than expose, in a witty and funny manner, those vices and follies. No class of the community, from the highest to the lowest, had escaped, when the circumstances justified it, the attack of the witty pens of the writers in Punch, and he had no doubt that among his own profession, at 'all events, many,gentlemen had winced a little at the ad ventures of Mr. Briefiess.—(Much laughter.) The only object they had in view was to expose folly and vice; and he contended that although in the present instance the strict liMits of the law might have been exceeded, yet that the injury, under the circumstances, must have been of the most trifling description, and was amply compen sated by the amount that had been paid into Out. With regard to the two latter counts, he contended that the caricature did not apply to the plaintiff, but to the other man I3arnett; and With regard to the apology, he sub mitted that although written in the humorous style ap propriate to Punch, - yet that it ivas truly and really 'an apology, and that upon neither of these counts was the plaintiff entitled to damages. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up the case, the jury, after deliberating some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101., in addition to the 5/. paid into Court. • • CROWN SlDE.—(Before the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE.) THE BURGLARY AT UCKFIELD. William Brooks, 30, labourer, John Smith, 25, labourer, James Smith, his brother, 17, basketmaker, Thomas Morgan, 30, shoemaker, William Hillyer, 25, labourer, and Joseph Carter, 24, labourer, were indicted for bur glariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Susan Farncomb, and stealing bank-notes, plate, and other property, of the value of 3001., and Elizabeth Oliver was charged with feloniously receiving a portion of the stolen articles, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Johnson conducted the prosecution. None of the prisoners were defended by counsel. Mr. JOHNSON, i❑ opening the case to the jury, said it was ore which had attracted a good deal of atten tion, not only in this county, but in the kingdom, on account of the circumstances connected with it, and the daring character of the offence. It was a most painful thing to see, as would be made clearly to appear by the evidence, a desperate gang of per sons banded together to commit the most desperate crimes, and who, ha was afraid, would not even have stopped at the shedding of blood, if they had met with any opposition to their proceedings. The ease would also exhibits system of organization among the parties, a knowledge of the face of the country, and the habits of persons living in lonely positions, and , a rapidity of com munication by the different members of the gang, which was really most surprising and alarming. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to narrate the facts of the case, and the following evidence was adduced:— James Ilernilt - c4 who was brought from the gaol in custody, said—l lived at Christaese last upon Woking common, in Surrey. I knew all the prisoners at that time except Carter. Just Mere Christmas Hißyer was at my house, and he went away to a place called Shot ter's Mill, in Surrey, to fetch Morgan, and I expected a man named John levities to come to my house from Reading. Hillyer and Morgan did not come back as was agreed, but Isaacs did come, and on the Monday after Christmas-day we two started to go to Eden bridge, where we expected to moot some other men. We were to meet at a house near that town, which was about 30 miles from Woking. Daring the night we fell in with James and 'John Smith, near Betchwortb, and they agreed to accompany us on the errand we were going. We did not find, either Brooks or Carter at the town, but soon afterwards I saw Brooks, and he took us into a beck lane, were we found Morgan and Ilillyer. Elizabeth Oliver Was also there, and she had a child with her. We remained in the town till the middle of the day. This was the 31st of December. While I was in the barn I saw two pistols, one largo and the other small. They were both loaded with ponder and pieces of lead, which were made flat by the teeth. It was then arranged that some of the party should go that night and rob a house in the neighbourhood, and Morgan. Hillyer, Carter, John Smith, and Isaacs wont away for that purpose. We went away from that place eight or nine miles, and the others were to meet us at a house that night, but they did not come. The next morning we found the five men'who had gone away in a wood, sitting round a fire, and I saw a plum cake and a bottle of wine, and Brooks said they had broken open a public• house at Old Pie-corner. He also said that there was another robbery to be done that night, and we were all to meet at Crowborough Forest, about three or four o'clock that day. We did all meet again in the forest, and we then all prepared masks, arid it was stated that at night we were to go and rob a lady's house. Morgan wore a red mask. liillyer's was black, and the other men all had on white masks. When all the pre parations had been made Isaacs, Carter, and myself,were sent to look about if the place was clear. ' Miss Fern comb's house is about eight miles from the forest, and was lighted up when we got there, and it was arranged that when we saw all the lights out we were to go back and join the other men. We did so, and we all got to the house again between two and three o'clock in the morning. We went into a little ditch by the side of the plantation, and there we took off' our coats, waistcoats, and shoes, and put on our masks, and James Smith went a little way along the road to see if an was quiet. When I got up to the house I found that the others had forced open the dairy window, and we then all went into the kitchen, and where some of the men put on coats that they found there. I pot on a coat and a woman's white apron, and Carter and Brooks each put on a female's bonnet, which they found there. We all hid our masks on. There were two pairs of stairs leading to the upper apartments. Isaacs, Brooks, John Smith, and me went up u one of the stair cases, and the oteer prisoners went up the second one. We immediately burst into one of the bed-rooms, and I saw two ladies. I only saw one first, but afterwards I saw two. We had all bludgeons in o ur hands. I don't know which of the party had the pistols. John Smith gave me a candle to hold, and he then ordered one of the ladies to give him the keys of the drawers that were in the room, saying at the same time, that he was come after money, and money he would have. The lady then handed him her keys, and b© went to the drawers, some ho unlocked, some be burst open, and I saw him take up a pocket-book with a good many notes in it. The lady told him that the pocket-book contained hank notes, and it was all the money she had in the house. The prisoner Isaacs then asked fur her watch, and she pointed to the side of the room, and said it was there, and Isaacs said it was not, and she told him if it was not, some of his companions mutt have taken it. Isaacs then gave me the poekete book, and he asked the lady where the silver plate was. She replied that it was in the pantry, and I was then left to guard the room while the others went down to get the plate. I soon afterwards heard another room burst open, and a lady screamed out, " Oh dear, oh " dear; is that you Willi a m? I called out, Yes, ma' a m, it is William; there is nothing the matter." The moment I said this Carter presented a pistol a t me . and was about to fire, when I made myself known, and he desisted. I then beard the lady say in the room, •'There is 251. and a crooked sixpenc e ." The other men then continued to rummage about the house, and I heard the lady threatened with violence if she made any noise. We then left the house, taking with us some hams, cheese, wine, bread, and other articles of food, and also a great quantity of property. We had taken a gun and cutlass from the house, but we threw them both away when we had got a short distance. W e all pro ceeded to a wood, near Crowburgh Common, and about a mile from the house of a man named Edwards, where we had left the woman Oliver and her child, and w e di vided the booty in the wood. Before we did this, Isaacs, unknown to the others, asked me to give him the notes, and he would give me half what ho got for them, and I geve iarn all of tie•m except one. which I kept beck for myself. The plate was. all locked over. It consisted of forks and spoons, and it was all put into a basket, and I understood was to be taken to London to be sold. We only divided 11. 7s. 6d. at this time, but I had another sovereign soon afterwards. We remained in the wood until between nine and tea in the morning of the 2d of January, and then we separated, and the two Smiths and me went to Groombridge. We had a good deal of beer at this plr.ce, and I got tipsy, and dropped a sovereign. and John &mita took it, and would not return it, and I gave him in charge for it, but the next day I would not press the charge. I was taken into custody soon after wards, and a coat, my mask, some jewellery, and the 51. note, were found in my possession. The prisoners put some questions to the witness, but did not elicit anything favourable to them, and they then declared, with great violence, that all he had said was false. Miss Susan Farnoomb said—On the 23 January I occupied Woodland House at Uckfield, with my three sisters. I retired to rest about ten o'clock at night on the Ist of January, and occupied a room by myself. I had been to sleep, and about three in the morning I heard a breaking noise, and almost at the same moment three men rushed into my room, and one of them came up to me and said, " Your money or your life," and he at the same time added that if I screamed or rang the bell I should be instantly dead. Tho men all" had masks on. They brought a light with them. I hold out my purse, and one of the men took it, and said that was right. It contained four sovereigns, some half sovereigns, and some silver. One of the men had a white coat on, but I cannot identify any of the pri soners. While this was going on in my room I heard my sister Mary scream. She was ill at the time. I begged to be allowed to go to my sister's room, but the man who was at the door at first refused to permit me, but at last I ventured to get past him, and went to her room. I found some more men there, and heard them asking her for. her money or her life, and I saw her give them a pocket-book containing several 51. and one 101. Lewes notes. I also saw her give them some trinkets and rings. One of the rings was a very valuable dia mond one. It was worth seventy guineas. The witness then identified some articles ofitiAller7 found in the possession of the prisoners when they were taken into custody. Miss Emily Farnoomb said—l occupied another room with my sister Charlotte. Our bed-room door was suddenly forced open and five men with masks on came in, and I saw a pistol in the hand of one of them. I cannot identify any of the prisoners. I gave the men my dressing-case. It contained 201. in gold and notes of the Lewes Bank. Thomas Wood said—l was butler to the Misses Farncomb at the time of the robbery. About half-past nine o'clock on the night of the Ist of January I secured the house and fastened the outer gates, and I went to bed about half-past ten. I occupied a room at the back of the house. I was awoke by some one trying to open the door. I challenged them but received no answer, and instantly afterwards the door was burst in and five men entered the room. I had jumped out of bed to get my gun, when one of the men struck me on the shoulder with a pistol and ordered me to get into bed again. It was a large horse pistol that ho struck me with. I got into bed as they ordered me, and one of the men then demanded my watch and money, and I gave them to him. They then demanded my keys. The prisoner Aster is the man who did so. lie had a woman's bonnet on, but I recognise him by his voice, and I am sure he is the man. He was left as a guard over me, and I should think he was under my observation for an hourdand a half. While he was so engaged, he talked to me, and said he had known me from claitithao hrgaotei anpnsddfiie as a nemgend, c iyatv h hhseo i keen l f d opi whent, tnrh a li,oee n s mnbo d seun: I tetiot hdrhlf e i emtt rrh a heks s eoec.eyro n yingg o ,haenlna s nai stranger a dnsab n hovou g i tentm e hoe rlecnyocbctofayoat occasion him. hhonseineos etmtnv oi repliedeodni dehetl. identify h mi n :til l fht s yale o t that, since.hha, arnaemyyds- of the others. One of the men was a great deal taller They took up a writing-desk, and were about to break did not want my keys; they had a different way of doing business. Some of the men then left my room, and I heard another door burst open, and one of the ladies screamed. The prisoner Carter was standing guard over me at the time, and I begged him to go and see that his companions did not hurt the ladies. Shortly 1 after this one of the men came back, and he and Carter pulled me out of bed, and ordered me to go ydroovi them where the plate was. I asked permissionlO put my shoes on, and Carter made use of a vulgar expremion, and said that he did not wear any shoes, and he did not ' see why I should. I than accompanied them down stairs, and heard the rattle - of plate in the pantry, and I saw some men taking the plate out of a drawer, and put ting it into an apron. 'I was then taken up again to my 1 bedroom, and iu about half an hour I heard the men leave the house, and as soon at' was able I proceeded to Uckfield to obtain assistance.' '''. The witness was then shown a variety of articlei;i6on sitting of clothin% and other property, taken froauthe premises, all of which he identified as having been stolen on the night in question. A great number of witnesses were then called in order to confirm the evidence of the accomplice, and the evi dence as regarded most of the prisoners appeared to be of a very conclusive character. It was shown that they were all in company at the lime in question, and they were traced in different parts of the county, going in the directio❑ of the house of the prosecutriz, and it also appeared that the portions of the stolen property which had been produced and identified, were found in their possession. It also appeared that when the woman Oliver was taken into custody fifteen sovereigns were found concealed upon her person. Mr. Morton, the superintendent of the Tunbridge-wells police, and Mr. Hollington, the chief officer of Guildford, who were the officers employed in the case, appeared to have been most zealous in getting up the case, and in procuring the necessary evidence. The prisoners, when they were called upon for their defence, merely abused the accomplice, and said that they were innocent of the charge. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, and His LORDSHIP sentenced the men to be transported for life, and the woman for fourteen years. When the sentence was pronounced, the prisoner Carter exclaimed that ho would murder the first man ho came across when he got abroad; and Hillyer said it was a very good thing he was now to be transported, for he ought to have been transported long before. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 11. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) DICKENSON V. STEPHENSON. Mr. HALL stated that this was au action for the ac duction of the plaintiff's daughter, to which the defen dant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant WlLam stated the case for the plain tiff, and called, Bethin Dickenson, who said she was the daughter of James Dickenson, a collier, at Halton, three miles from Leeds, and was 21 years old. She had always lived with her father and mother, and helped in the house hold affairs. Stevenson was a farmer and joiner at Halton, and a man of property. She first became ac quainted with him when they went with an old woman to tho Union Workhouse at Carlton, in November, 1849. Mr. Green, the overseer, had suggested that defendant should take her in his tax cart; but the defendant got a close cab. Witness and the old woman rode inside, and the defendant on the outside, with the cabman. They got the old woman there, and left her, and when they came back, the defendant got in the inside. After going three or four miles, they stopped at the Wheatsheaf to bait. They then got into the cab to start again, and be pulled up the window shutter, and began to take liberties with her, and he finally effected his purpose. She had a child in August last. The defendant is the father—she never in her life had to do with any man but him. She is the eldest of her father's family. De fendant is married, and has seven children. Several witnesses having given this witness a good character, Mr. WATSON (Mr. Hugh Hill with him) addressed the jury for the defendant. He commented on what he called the extreme improbability of the case, and said he would call witnesses. Mr. Sergeant WILKINs having addressed the jury in reply to the defendant's case, Mr. Justice CRESWELL summed up, and The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 501. CROWN COURT. Charles Darby. 27, and Alfred Boardman, 17, were charged with stealing a gelding, the property of Alexander Parker, on the 21st of December last, at Heeley, near Sheffield. It seemed that on the previous day a servant of the prosecutor's had placed the pony in a field of his master's, and on going next morning to the field he missed it. In consequence of information, he afterwards wont to Mot tram, and in a Acid there he saw his master's pony; he came back to Heeley, and again started to Hyde, in Cheshire, where he again saw it. Another witness deposed that on the morning spoken of he met the two prisoners, each on a horse close by Mottram; the witness asked if the horses were on sale, and Darby answered that they wore, and after some fur ther conversation the witness bought it for 21. ss. bridle and all. After the sale the two prisoners went on to wards Ashton, and the witness took the pony home. When apprehended, on the 11th of January, and having had the charge made, Darby stated that he bad sold the pony, and that Boardman had stolen it, and had given him 10s. to sell it. The other prisoner made exactly the like htatement when he was taken. Mr. SEYMOUR. endeavoured to support the story told by his client, but failed, and the jury convicted both prisoners. for a similar offence, th a t o f s t ea li ng a mar e, The prisoner D ar by was t r i e d u p on ano th er i n dictment the pro perty of James C a lla g h an , at Sh e ffi e ld, on w hich he was again convicted. On being sentenced, his LORDSHIP transported Darby for ten years, and ordered Boardman to be imprisoned for six months. Edward Grimston was indicted for the manslaughter of Joseph Garrick, at Milford, on the 2nd January last. It appeared that on the 23d December a luggage train left York about four, P.M., the prisoner acting as guard; there were twenty-two waggons, variously laden, two of wh;eh had tirribur on them. The train got s-,felv to the ~ 1 1 Milford junction, where the Leeds and Selby Railway joins the York and North Midland; there they lett two waggons, and want up the incline with the remaining twenty to Bank Top, a distance of sena miles, Behiud the last waggon there was a break van, in which the prisoner was when the twenty waggons went up. These were left in a siding at Bank Top, and the engine was dispatched to fetch up fourteen other waggons, previously left at the :Milford Junction. On descending the incline this second time, the prisoner would not take the break van, although it was his duty to have done so. When this part ,tf the train .5111 being denim up, the coupling- ehain, between the seventh and eighth carriage from the end, broke, and thni.e carrbges hevocaing detached, went down the incline at a velocity of nearly 20 miles an hour. At this time the guard was riding on the engine, contrary to the orders by which be ought to have been guided. When the detached catriag- s ar rived at the Milford Junction, they ran into a passenger train, which was, unfortunately, standing there. They smashed, and turned over the engine of the passenger train, and the d:ceased, who was acting as engineer of the passenger-train, was thrown off, and the engine falling upon him, be was killed on the spot. Mr. MATHEWS argued that this was merely an acci dent, and that if the guard had been riding on the last carriage, which waa laden with timber, he would not have been safe, and that having appended the usual red light at the end of the last carriage, and having taken all usual precautions, it wot.ld be hard, indeed, if the jary should construe that which, after all, was but an unfortunate accident, into a case of mansh. ughter. The rails wet° excessively greasy that night, and it was doubtful whether, in any event, had the break been put on, it would have stopp d the ttain, though it would have checked its speed very greatly The jury, after a short retirement, acquitted the pri soner, but, in 'doing so, expre std a strong feeling of regrei that more care bad not been taken, when the train was at the Milford-station, to ste that the coupling chaias were properly and safely adjusted. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—To hold office is one thing, to govern the country is another. Office is the immediate gift of the Crown, and Government is as immediately the gift of the Legislature. The two functions are supposed to be united in a Cabinet. When the Queen's Ministers the other day presented themselves to Parliament with the gratifying intelligence that, in consequence of the Duke of Wellington's judicious advice, they had received a fresh expression of her Majesty's confidence, one part of their authority might be said to be complete. But, it was a part which bad never been withdrawn, or even touched, and the other part, viz., their Parliamentary sanction unfortunately had been damaged and has not yet been repaired. 'There has been no expression of confidence on the part of the Legislature corresponding to that on the part of the Crown. The House of Com mons has not sent for the Commander-in-Chief. It has had recourse to nobody. It has neither taken counsel, nor subjected its difficulties to any searching and com prehensive deliberation. It really has done nothing ex cept hearing what was to be said with some degree of curiosity, as much perhaps as the public in general felt on the subject, but with no anxiety to arrive ate practical con clusion. Up to Tuesday night it might be fairly asked whether the House of Commons had taken back Lord John Russell or not, On Monday the tripping way in which the Naval Estimates ran through to the ninth vote, with scarcely even anything to call for a division, looked like even an excess of Parliamentary confidence. Bet, on Tuesday there came the old test—a motion by an independent Reformer, and at once it was evident that Lord John Russell could neither retrain his more impetuous supporters, nor muster his more quiet ones. His wild elephants and his tame ones aro equally un manageable. Half his usual supporters are pursuing their own hobbies, and the remaining half don't care to stop them. The reins of Government are at the mercy of any one bold enough to grasp them. It was Locke King the other day; Lord Duncan on Tuesday; and, in a few days, as likely as not, it will be any one who chooses to propose any amendment on any Budget Sir Charles Wood may happen to select. Such a crisis cad hardly fail to encourage private enterprise, as many a youngster who would have been rolled in tho dust had he ventured to come across the path of a powerful Mi nister may now snatch a triumph with very little trouble. The wonder is that there are not more aspi rants for ephemeral and perhaps permanent distinction. Before such facts as the divisions we have lately witnessed in the Commons, mere speculations on the causes of this portentous downfall are of very little im portance. A man suddenly reduced from affluence to proverty is seldom very anxious to retrace the history of his ruin. But a glance at the past may help us to the futuie. The present Cabinet never had what the French call an absolute majority. So long as Peel lived and had followers, they supported Lord John Russell against the Proteetiouists, who supported his Lordship on their part against Sir Robert Peel. The various sections of independent Reformers also gave his Lordship a sup port in the infancy of his Administration, while its overthrow would probably have involved their own banishment to the Opposition, which they no longer feel to be necessary for self-preservation. They may cow be too secure, but they du not seem to think any great principle at stake in the maintenance of the Russell Administration. Thus, that general disrup tiote_or rather destruction of parties, which has left the Whigs the only body at all competent to power is itself ono source of their difficulties. If the Pro tectionists, " Peelites," and Reformers are severally too few to be formidable rivals, they are themselves re leased from their former apprehensions, and have thereby lost their chief inducement to a strenuous support of the Whig Premier. Why should they trouble themselves about him?—they say. Why needlessly compromise themselves by supporting a man who is too liberal for one party, and too conservative for the other? In fact, Lord John has attained the safe but inglorious dignity of a jests milieu Minister, and though that position is less scandalous in this country than in France, it brings to Lord John the usual allowance of wanton opposition, common indifference, and precarious support. When the past and the present both prove that the real malady of the Cabinet is the want of a party, it is evident that if anything is to be done it must be the formation of a party. That Lord Johu should find himself destitute in this important respect is by no means surprising when we remember how much industry, talent, and good fortune have usually been required for it. The cry of Parliamentary Reform, or the reac tion from an old Tory policy, or " the Church in danger," or the demand for cheap bread, or corn- other watchword, sustained with great labour out of doors, as well as in the walls of Parliament and in the registration courts, are some of the means by which majorities have been gradually created snd organized. Some strong feeling or some great utility is required for the purpose. Once in power, the strongest majority will dwindle away, unless it be kept up by the excitement of a bold policy, by a constant succession of striking measures, by some common terror, and last, but not least, by a judicious use of the patronage at the disposal of Government. Even if Lord John had possessed an absolute majority of his own, we question whether be has done his utmost to cherish it; but as he never had such a majority, and has only held his place by neutralizing other forces, his want of industry and tact as a leader have told with still more serious effect. The party has all along been weak, and has been gradually dissolving. But what is to be done? A party must be made. This operation is of course a branch of State craft, and can not easily be prescribed; but it will not be accomplished by seeming to sit still, by being a visible obstruction in the way of improvement, by resigning great measures to other hands, by laying down no general line of policy, and leaving the public wholly in the dark, except so far as is wanted for the explanations of the measures in hand. But, besides the higher duties of statesmanship, there is one matter of business, without which they are all useless. A party in the British House of Commons must be collected man by man, and express promises of general support must be secured, to gather such an in sight into private opinions as may guide the Minister in his treatment of minor questions. Now, we do not be lieve that has been done with moderate care in the pre sent instance. It must be done now, if a party is to be organized, and the present Cabinet is to reconquer its position. But, whatever the past omissions and present duties of Government, the general body of Lord John's supporters share the blame of its position. They know not to what perils they expose their principles and the State by the capricious uncer tainty of their Parliamentary support. Of course, they have opinions of their own, but they were not re turned to Parliament just to vote for their own hobbies and leave everything else alone. Nearly all are pledged up to the throat to support Lord John Russell, and no creditable reason can be given why that pledge is not more diligently observed. After a lapse of four years a pledge possibly loses its virtue in some minds , bu t we suspect that the weakness of the pledge is generally owing rather to the years that remain than to the years that have lapsed. The immediate prospect o f a g ene ral ~ election would soon wake up the Ministerial side of tne House. Yet the course it now takes is headlong for a dissolution, about as inopportun e this a moment. They and unfortunate an event as could possibly happen a who are driving things to a d issolution —and no small proportion of our representatives are doing so, are ha zarding the peace and p rosperity of' this country for many a long day oe mere cast of a die. We don't speak of the immediate danger to public tranquillity, nor yet of the 2,000,0001. computed to be eaten and swilled on every such occasion, but w e refer to the simple fact that the con stitution of a Parliament elected nude present circumstances would present tenfold greater dif ficulties than what we are now suffering, ten times greater disruption and confusioe of parties, and ten times less prospect of a moderate but powerful Adminis tration. HERALD.—We rejoice that an interval is suffered to take place between Lord Stanley's honourable and chivalric announcement of his policy, and the assumption of power to which his Lordship is destined to be called by the unanimous voice of the people. The country and the Minister will both be gainers by the short delay. The former will have time to weigh the en lightened policy of a statesman actuated by national and patriotic motives: the latter is enabled to mature the plans suggested in the heat of an unexpected crisis, and to adopt his principl , ,s to the varying necess itie, of a mixed community. A period of retlecticn cannot fail to lead to a better understanding. For . the first time, as it were, the future Premier and the nation have been I brought face to face, and viewed together in the spirit I of conciliation and justice the gigantic) interests with the declared subjects un the Ile CI '• iLs"-11 infringing upon the rights of conscience, without at tempting in the least degre,2 to stand Letween the Romanist and his spiritual rcivitcr, rtithnut de manding the smallest sacrifice of the perfect tolera tion accorded to every creed and scot in the empire, Lord Stanley would hate stopped Ante Popery at the sacrifice of the coutiti) t., tutions, and of damaging the glerodis principles in virtue of which his Queen si:s lip4iiA the throne, and England owes its stet ngt't tied grearneas. A,, „ Pao testant Minister of a Prutesi cart Sevee,,t zt r,„ id ley would not have been d t would not have purchaseet te!pultoe .! i!!! , r... creed he is simply bound t tu's'k ; v. wi t have furnished arms to Rume, iu ozdet Rem , might strike a deadly blow at spiri!'ual libz!riy upon these shores. Lord Stanley, unlike his former Pnelite asso ciates, does not yet regard the Reformation as a great calamity, or separation from Rome as a national sin. Puseyism would, therefore, not flourish under his Ad ministration ; nor would confessionals be seen at Lam beth ; nor intolerant bishops, refusing communion with tolerant archbishops, be in favour ; nor priests, de nouncing the Queen's supremacy, be deemed fit objects for promotion. Whatever may be the country's expec tations from Lord Stanley in other respects, it may rely upon his fidelity to Protestant principle, without fear of disappointment. Lard John Ru,sell, it is true, denounced loudly enough Tract arian practices and Popish insolence in his Nevi, miter letter ; but the ebullition of testing was not w ul ih the ink in which it was discharged. nit cowinunitY, painfully alive to the fact, looks in vain to the sum: esors of the man chiefly valued as the Ministi r up , n chose pliant principles it could in all einetvisii , s tingly fall back; but if Popery is safe with , Le Weig Minister, Puseyism is in clover with the P. , elite aspi rants. Protestantism, rejected by both in its hour of de sertion and danger, seeks refuge with Lord Stanley. And if his Lordship deserves praise for his unshaken Helity to the Throne, is he so utterly unworthy of confidence as his enemies would have us believe, because be professes extreme anxiety to heal the divedons and to mitigate the 1 1 hardships that . allictautsie Phan one portion of the people?_ Nobody doubts (hitt thd laws of 1846 have fallen with tearful weight upon the agricultural Clams. ; The extent of agricultural depression DO party in the State affects tocon eelsl or deny. Its existence was acknowledged in well-re me-mbered accents from the Throne. and tbe necessity of immediate remedy all but confessed by a majority in a free-trate Hens- of Commons. What is it that the fu cure Prime Alinisi4 of Et , gland pr poses on behalt of a smitten interest, whose trials txturt the sympathy of every class? What scheme for poling an end to ei.cord anti complaint could be more monettoe and intelligent than that which he propounded? We a e hold to say that had Lord Stanley proof, ded to the country tht very morning after he had delivered his lucid statement in the Hots — se of Lords, he would have iGund his shimmer cial policy endorsed by nearly every int: liigent constitu ency in the United Kingsl;m. Men have ceased to be cajoled by abstract theories, and are not unwilling to settle still-vexed questions in the spirit of conciliation and compromise. If it be true, as it is easy to prove, that the laws of 1846 have prevented an extensive sec tion of the community from earning a livelihood by any expenditure of money, time, and trouble, there exists nowhere but.in the veriest strongholds of faction a deter mination to withhold such legidation as may once more liberate the industrious limbs which it was never intended to bind or cripple. What honest and well-intentinswd citizen seeks to establish in the land a war of classes, general prosperity with fearful exceptions ,to the rule, abiding discontent, daily increasing dis- .. loyalty, and never-ending agitation ? Have - Free trade Leagues and Protectionist Associations became normal institutions of the country, and is there never to be en end of that system of attack and defence which, to the great scandal of the country, and to the great injury of all calm legislation, has usurped the functions of Parliament, and trade intimidation, falsehood, and exaggeration instruments of public action far more potent than facts and figures, argument and logic? We are eeedy of repose, and crave tor a speedy ee.tlement of . differences. Lord Stanley would have Ivedtranqiiilli,iy within our reach, and put au end at ce lo injurious dispute. ,Zlthout,pc ! ntesting the wig em Of .established Jim, he woul.WieAdnauded the i ll deptation of an existing policy to the present exigen cies of men. His would have been the' task to heal the wounds inflicted upon society by the sudden, indiscrimi nate, and wholesale legislation of 1846; and to conclude that the community at large would not have helped to consummate the happy work is to exhibit ignorance in deed of the sublime character of a nation, not without its share of fault ,and weakness, but remarkable, above 1111 thinlp, Mr les love of honesty and its matchle ss sense Of justice. Nor would Lord Stanley's method of pro ceeding have proved less acceptable to the country be cause it involved, amongst its other consequences, the immediate removal of a tax the most iniquitous ever de vistd to afflict patient industry and to rub poverty of the first results of its prudence. Against the renewal of the income-tax in its present form, and with a view to its complete and speedy abolition, Lord Stanley would have directed his first financial efforts. His Lordship has long been known to eurertain _ a virtuous antipathy against a modo of levying taxation which the country tolerated at first only as a temporary expedient, and which its author tecommended at a time of difficulty to meet a special emergency. It would be idle to point out to a community suffering at all points from the grinding operation of the income•tax, the nature of the grievance against which they so loudly complain, and from whose ores,uro it would have bean the first object of Lord Stanley's Governmet,t to relieve them; tut it is quite to the purpose to remind them, that the very ear liest intimation that came to the country from any public man of the urgent necessity of relieving it from the insupportable tax in question proceeded from the lips of a nobleman whose anxiety for the well-being of agriculturists is equalled only by his earnest desire to support in the empire, without tear or favour, the in dustrial interests of all. The division that took place on Tuesday last with reference to Lord Duncan's motion, presenting as it does one more instance to the many already afforded of the utter impossibility of pro tracting the present state of things beyond a few weeks longer, renders the late manifesto of Lord Stanley an object again of national regarsi, and the future move ments ut his Lordship matter of general solicitude. The time is fast approaching when au appeal to the country will be inevitable. A stable Government is required, and the will of the people needs once more to be un equivocally cxpresed. The latter once emphatically uttered, the former will not long be wanting. We have no fear in committing the language of the Conservative chief to the thoughtful consideration of the masses. It is time to secure the foundations of the national faith and to unite conflicting interests—to reconcile all classes to the law, and to turn the attention of Parliament from the warfare of parties to the vast reforms in the social condition of the masses which crave the harmonious action and the perfect repose of legislators. We cannot advance an inch in social ameliorations until ill-blood is stopped. Lord Stanley shows how we may staunch the wounds of no unimportant member of the State with perfect justice to the rest of the body politic. SUSPECTED MURDER Al BRIXTON NEAR PLYMOUTH. The village of Brixton, about three miles from Ply mouth, on the Totnes-road, has just been the scene, it is feared, of a very extraordinary murder. On Friday morning last, a young man, named John Bunker, aged about nineteen, a farm- servant to Mr. Rowe. of Ilalwell-farm, in the parish of Brixton, left the farm yard, with a cart and two horses, for the purpose of going to a lime-kiln for a load of lime ; but shortly afterwards his body was found in an orchard belonging to his master, quite dead, hang. ing by a halter to an apple-tree. It appears that the attention of a man who was going to his work, when two or three fields from the orchard, was attracted by the cries as of some one in great fear or pain, and that, following the direction of the cries, which by and-by ceased altogether, the man came to the orcha rd, and after a brief search found the body of Bunker as described. The appearance of the body induced the be lief that a severe struggle had taken place before the poor fellow was suspended to the tree, and it is said that there were some spots of blood on his dress. It was known that young Mr. Rowe entertained feelings o f hostility towards the deceased, arising, it was stated, out of the latter having been witness to an occurrence which the former did not wih should become known, and to procure silence on which it is turther said t h at he had given Bunker a sovereign; at all events, it is known that the deceased had propagated a story to thi s e effect, and tha t in conse q uence, about a we ek sine M r. Rowe bad gone t o the magistrate's clerk at Yealmipton, with the view of taking proceedings against him for de famation of character, and had induced that gentleman to write deceased a letter on the subject. At an inquest before A. Bone, Esq., the coroner for the county of Devon, on Saturday evening, these facts were stated, and also that bruises on the body were perceptible when it was tektn down from the tree, anti it was evident that before quitting the road where the horses and cart were left standing, the poor fellow had been upon his knees. The circumstances were so suspicious that the coroner ordered Rowe into custody, and adjourned the inquest.
