Her MAJESTY'S Ministers fiscal have again sustained a signal an d d ec i s i ve d e feat, and that on a tion. Th ere was a ti me w hen such a n event ques would be a m a tt er o f grave i mpor t ance , leadin g, perhaps, to a cha nge i n t h e Government o f th e country. Sir enaaLa s W OOD h as, however, cont rived to ex cite so much di scontent and dissatisfaction on all subjects connectel with the i m p or t an t d epar t men t over which he presides, that the simple fact of the Government being left in a minority has ceased to excite any great astonish ment, or to lead to any serious apprehensions as to the probable results. We might therefore, perhaps, consider it unnecessary to offer any particular observations on a matter of such frequent occurrence, but for some circumstances connected with the question in which they have been placed in a p os iti on so humiliating and unpl easan t, and also for the raanner in which the decision of a majority of the House of Commons has been received by the party representing the Government. There is no single tax less objectionable than ,that o n spirits. It is, perhaps, the only one of th e in-' 1 direct imposts that can in any degree be justified. The only limitation necessary in fixing the amount of duty is, that it should not b e so great as to anon. rage•illicit distill If the trade could be alto gether supp ressed, and th a t no such commod i ty could be obtained, it would, perhaps, be so much the better; THE SUN, but, unfortunately, there is no possibility of such a result. We cannot enforce " teetotalism " by Act of Parliament. Many persons require, or, what is nearly the same thing, think they require a stimulant, and the use of ardent spirits has become so habitual that there is no prospect of their being relinquished, or ceasing to become articles of general consumption. If we subject the fair trader to pro hibitory duties or undue restrictions we only furnish additional inducements to smugglers and others anxious to defraud the public revenue. The community in general, not merely the producers and vendors, but also the pur chasers and consumers, are thus demoralized, and the most mischievous consequences would follow a fiscal mistake of so grave a nature. In ascertaining the amount of duties to be levied on home-made spirits in different parts of the United Kingdom, it was discovered that full allowance should be made for the facilities existing for illicit distillation in the various localities. It was not intended to confer a boon upon Ireland or Scotland, or to enable the inhabitants of those countries to indulge their taste for ardent spirits at a cheaper rate than their English brethren, that the duty was fixed at only 2s. Bd. in the former, and 4s. in the latter, while 7s. 10d. per gallon was charged in England. Such a distinction could not be justified on any other grounds but those above alluded to. If the revenue laws could be fully enforced the duty would be the same in all parts of the kingdom. But actual experience has proved, beyond the pos sibility of doubt, that any material increase in the rates charged in Ireland or Scotland would not yield additional revenue to the exchequer, but would merely lead to formidable organization against the law. There are, however, other points or which a judi cious minister of finance should act liberally towards the distilling trade. There are many excise regula tions that prove exceedingly injurious to the spirit manufacturer, which might easily be altered ; such a change is the more essential, since the abolition of the protective duties on colonial spirits. Some years since the heavy charge upon rum operated as a practical prohibition to the use thereof in the sister kingdom. But that having been altered in 1848, and the differential duty having been reduced to 4d. per gallon, so as to bring these articles into full and fair competition, the home producer is entitled to demand of the Legislature that he should be exempted from annoyances and impediments in his business from which his rivals are free, for which scarcely any pecuniary allowance can compensate, and which have driven many person s altogether out of the trade. It was to one of these points that Lord NAss last night directed the attention of the House. It ap pears that the duty on foreign and colonial spirits is only levied on the amount actually brought into con sumption, and for which payment is received. The Irish distiller, however, is obliged to pay on what issues from the worm's end. He is allowed to place his spirits in bond, but he receives no compensation for what is wasted by leakage or eva poration while in the QUEEN'S stores. It was, there fore, reasonably demanded that he should only be required to pay duty on what he could make actually available—that which remained on hand when taken into stock. The Chancellor of the Exchequer resisted this just and equitable proposition, which, if his own statements be correct, would not amount to more than a fraction of a penny per gallon, and which could not, therefore, be productive of any great loss to the revenue, although it would afford considerable relief to the distiller. The House, how ever, decided in favour of the motion by a majority of 32—there being 85 in its favour and 53 against. The Right Hot). Gentleman now refuses to be bound by that decision, declaring that he considers himself " perfectly free to take whatever course he may con sider proper." His colleagues in the Ministry did not thus set the House at defiance when they bowed to the hasty and absurd resolution on Lord ASHLEY'S inotion for the_total cessation of Post-office duty on Sundays throughout the entire country, a resolu tion fraught with the greatest public inconvenience, and catried by surprise the day after the Derby. Sir Cummes WOOD, however, thinks that he can despise the representatives of the people, and that all must bow down to his ridiculous dogmas. A novel and brilliant evidence of the diplomatic genius of her MAJESTY'S Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs has just been afforded by the extra ordinary convention concluded on the 12th of April between this country and the United States, through the instrumentality of the respective negotiators at Washington. The success with which this difficult question has been brought to a satisfactory settlement is not less remarkable than the project of which it is at once the expression and the fulfilment—that project being nothing less than the construction of a grand inter-oceanic ship canal between the two Americas, connecting together the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. When this gigantic scheme was originally agitated, it will be remembered that a disposition was evinced by the United States to secure its own aggrandizement at the expense of Great Britain, and to acquire a monopoly of interest in the proposed undertaking by certain flagrant en croachments upon the minor principalities of the Isthmus between the northern and southern conti• nests. It will be recollected, for example, that a company of American citizens having received exclu sive righta to open a route of communication across Panama, and the United States having immediately before that obtained possession of California, there appeared an official report, the result of the delibera tions of the committee of Congress, in which it was proposed to subsidize the association by a yearly grant, with a view to secure certain privileges and prerogatives, for the exclusive enjoyment, the sole advantage, and the superior convenience of the Citi zens of the Republic. According to this, it was in tended that passengers in American vessels, and citi zens of the United States, generally, should be af forded better and cheaper facilities of conveyance across Panama than any other individuals ; and a Bill was ultimately introduced into Congress, by which it was arranged that similar rights should be accorded to the armed forces and munitions of war appertaining to the United States Government. Throughout all these preliminary steps of the movement it was very perceptible that the Cabinet at Washington was actuated by its inordinate lust after territorial aggrandisement. Its ambition, whetted by its successes in Mexico, and exalted by the seeming embarrassment of England in the midst of the revolutionary agitations of Europe, rapidly gave forth tokens of its aggressive and ad venturous character. So large, indeed, was its au dacity in this particular, that its example inspired the miserable little state of Nicaragua with the courage of complicity. That principality willingly yielded up to the demand of the United States the right to construct either a railroad or a ship-canal through its dominions (I) together with a power of navigating a portion of the river St. John not included in that territory, thereby securing an exclusive benefit to the United States by encroaching upon the privileges and possessions belonging to Musquito. Over this Mus quito, be it not forgotten, England bad long exercised, and still to this moment exercises, the influence of her protection. Musquito was not previously under our colonial administration, but it was unques tionably and notoriously under the shelter of a British protectorate. Unprepared, it may be indifferent, to raise any objection to the schemes entalereondeunportebyd California a nd felt the United States, whenof thovselearschaegmuae: the then recent acquisitio n . of lity to interfere in that au d acious h n e e r u s t: l a f l it touched upon the Government T Th e firs t enterpris c e opinril in liip m eda ediatelY rights and advanced beyond the boundaries of the protected state by of the MBursirisihto. determination formed was eo n _ to interrupt the course of t hese p roceedin g s firmed by a circumstance which soon afterwards transpired to their astonishment, the circumstance of a negotiation being on foot between the United Su i t es , Ambassador and the authorities of Nicaragua, et. powering the Republic of which the former was the accredited representative, to flank the whole of the proposed canal with a continuous line of fortifications. A resolute interposition became absolutely necessary immediately these facts came to light ; and in the conduct of such an interposition it was equally requi site that resolution should be tempered by the tokens of our amicable disposition.

In order to bring about this fella- Strasbourg, 6% tous result, it was, of course, incumbent upon both parties to consent respectively to certain essential con cessions. Happily these concessions have been made without any reservation whatever on the part of either of the plenipotentiaries. The convention is full and complete ; without a flaw or a hitch ; everything, in fact, that could be reasonably desired. England stimulates, instead of retarding, the development of the scheme out of which the whole of the previous misunderstanding had originated— namely, the construction of a vast ship canal con necting the Pacific and the Atlantic. The United States on the other side withdraws all its efforts to encroach upon Musquito, acknowledging it to be under a British protectorate ; it resigns moreover its intention of claiming gin exclusive monopoly of ad vantages, or of building - up the intended line of forti fications. While yielding with spontaneous readi ness upon these several points, the two contracting powers have decided also in like manner to co-operate with all possible earnestness and energy in carrying out a scheme which, once perfected, would tend to the almost incalculable advancement of the mer cantile enterprise of the world, and would in evitably prove a step—and a gigantic step too-- in the way of securing the further civilization of both hemispheres. How far the convention commits the United States and Great Britain to the prosecu tion of the enterprise may be perceived from the nature of the seventh article, which runs verbatim as follows: "It being desirable that no time should be unnecessa rily lost in commencing and constructing the said canal, the Governments of the United States and Great Britain determine to give their support and encou ragement to such persons or company as may first offer to commence the same with the ne cessary capital, with the consent of the local authorities, and on such principles as -accord with the spirit anti intentions of this convention; and if any persons or company should already have with any state through which the proposed canal may pass a contract for the construction of such a canal as that•specified in ..thib convention, to the stipulations of which contract neither of the parties in the convention have any just cause to object, and the said persons or company shall have made preparations and expended time, money, and trouble on the faith of such contract, it is hereby agreed that such persons shall have a priority of claim over every other person or company to the protection of the United States and Great Britain, and be allowed a yesr from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the con .ention for concluding their arrangements and present ing evidence of sufficient capital subscribed to accom plish the undertaktng; it being understood that if, at the expiration of the aforesaid periods, such persons: or com pany shall nut be able to commence and carry on the projected enterprise, then the Governments of the United States and Great Britain shall be free to afford their protection to any persons or company that shall be pre pared to commence and proceed with the construction of the canal in question." From this it will ba perceived that the dream of beholding a vast ship canal threading a road through the central isthmus of the Americas is at length ac.. tually approaching its realiz4tion. To its fulfilment the Governments at London and at Washington have now definitively pledged themselves in a convention which not the less reflects honour upon the ability of Mr. CLAYTON, and upon the capacity of Sir HENZI BULWEB, than it redounds to the glory of Lord PAL.. MERSTON as a statesman, an administrator, and a diplomatist. T THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6th instant have arrived. Trey announce the approaching arrival on the llrh of the Duke and DuPhess PE MONTPENSIER. Orders had been given to receive their Royal High ❑esses with all due honours. The Heruldo publishes a letter from Ceuta of the 31st ult., stating that a Moorish army, commanded by two pashas, one white and the other black, was marching towards the frontier of Algeria, with hos tile intentions towards the French. The Three per Cents. were done at 33i for cash ; the Four per Cents- at 124 ; the Five per Cents. at 12i for. cash; the Debt without Interest at 3 15-16; and the Coupons at 7+. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Much speculation was excited by the sudden de parture of M. TRIERS to England for the purpose of paying a visit to the Comte De Neurrax, his former sovereign. The apparent cause for this pilgrimage is the alarming state of the health of the ex-King, and the solicitude of his old Minister to visit him once more before the possibility of their final separation by death. The imputed reason, on the contrary, is said to be a wish on the part of M. TRIERS to forward the negotiation already commenced between the younger and the eider branches of the Bourbon dynasty. Whether this latter surmise be really the inducement we can scarcely as yet understand, but it is indis putable that the Orleans family have of late betrayed symptoms of a desire of reconcilia tion. Prior to his departure from Paris the historian of NAPOLEON paid a visit to the PRESIDENT at the Elysee, as if he would thereby have intimated to him that his journey was rather sentimental than trea sonous. However it may be, the visit of M. TRIERS at this particular time to the once powerful, monarch is the subject, naturally, of many conflicting conjectures. Upon it the Opinion Publique observes, " This journey may have more influence on his destiny than could reasonably be expected from a pilgrimage merely prompted by a sentimental fidelity." 4. TRIERS is not expected to return to Paris before Friday; and M. GUIZOT, who left that city fur Normandy a short time since, it is thought will proceed forthwith to London. Toe second sitting of the Commission entrusted with the duty of examining into the project of a grant to the PRESIDENT terminated yesterday. It to besiuning to be thought that the opinion of the majority will prove favourable to the wishes of Louis NAPOLEON. Several of the members of the Commission, it is said, have received urgent en treaties from their constituents to vote in favour of the grant, the latter parties insisting that the grant will be amply compensated by the minter in which the additional sum of money will be employed ---an argument which receives some corroboration from the following statements:— " Before quitting St. Quentin the PRESIDENT handed to General RoQuirr 400 f, to be distributed amongst the small garrison of the places. There was not an hospital nor a manufactory he visited during his late journey where he did not leave marks of his bounty, and a sum of 4,000 f. was also distributed by him to the most deserving and most necessitous of the work ing population. It is chiefly by acts like these that his present difficulties have been occasioned." It was at half-past eight o'clock on Monday even ing that the Prince returned to his palace of the Elysee, after his triumphal visit to St. Quentin. On Monday a funeral service was performed at the chapel of the Invalides in commemmoration of Mar shal BUGBAUD, the 10th being the first anniversary of his death. The service was attended by the rela tives and comrades of the Marshal. A circular of a most judicious character has been addressed by the Prefect of Police to the Commis saries of Police of the department of the Seine, calling their attention to the refugees in Paris, and requesting that reports be regularly addressed to him as to their conduct while residing on the French territory. The Moniteur publishes a letter from M. WAL- LoN, a Conservative Member for the department of the North, announcing his resignation of his seat in the Assembly, in consequence of his having separated from his party on an important question. The venerable and episcopal benignity of FENBLON would have been somewhat agitated with surprise or indignation, could the author of." Telemachus" have heard the statement made on Monday in the Le gislative Assembly by M. PIERRE LEROUX, to the effect that that exquisite classic inculcates the doctrines of Socialism. The assertion was received with shouts of laughter. ' The director of . the .Republicaine de la Dord ogne has been sentenced by the Assize Court of Peri guextoo ibet one year's imprisonment and I,ooof. fine fo r a seditious GERMANY. Intelligence from Berlin is to the 10th inst. Some pretended revelations of a conspiracy con nected with the attack on the KIM!, made by a soldier in custody for a military offence at Potsdam, had been proved to be mere invention or a hoax. This hoax is somewhat snore detailed as follows A Chaiseur of the Guard, while bt ing escorted for a military offence . to the prison of Magdeburg, from some that he knew of the conspiracy of which Se . lett n motive, told the o ffi cer accompanying him unknown mot i ve , was the result, adding some alarming statements of its extent, stating even that the whsle First Regiment of t h e G uar d was i m pli ca t e d in it. He was brought b ac k • t o P o tsdam and an inquiry commenced, which proved that the whole story was invented. The Kolner Zeitung has telegraphic dispatches from Berlin, stating that after having been confined to his bed for seventeen days,. his MA JESTY at 'ength so far recovered as to be able to rise for a few hours. Still the fatigue of getting up told on the KING'S nerves, and the night which followed the first attempt passed less quietly than might have been expected. The KING'S rest was likewise disturbed in the night from the 9th to the 10th of June, but still the wound is proceeding favourably. It was reported yesterday in Paris, that the result of the ballot at Strasburg was in favour of the Conservative candidate; and a similar rumour was abroad in regard to the military votes for the election of the Bas Rhin. In illustration of this we have the following:par ticulars : The Members of the Deputation to Copenhagen were expected at Kiel on the 811. The papers ex press a feeling of satisfaction that their " unhappy' negotiation, which could not have led to any good re.ult, has been broken off; the settlement of the question will evidently be made in Berlin, as no thing is expected from the reported conferences in London, and in Copenhagen nothing is likely to be concluded. From Hanover we hear that the birthday of the KING, who on the 6th instant entered his eightieth year, was celebrated with more than ordinary re joicing. The number of guests present at the en tertainment given by the civic authorities was so great that the dinner was laid out in spacious tents, the civic hall being too small to accommodate them. The 13t battalion of the Gendarmerie Mobile con thins twenty electors, natives of that department ; eighteen have voted for M. MULLER, and only one fur . GIRARDIN.

News from the Roman peninsula still continues to have most of its interest concentrated just now in Piedmont. Cardinal ANTONELLI has addressed a note, dated the 14th ult., to the Charge d'Affaires of Sardinia, in which he renews the protest of the Holy See against the law of Siccerdi, " which," he says, " is hostile to the Church and to its sacred rights, in direct opposition with the sacred canons, and with the solemn treaties concluded on the subject." He adds, that " the attempt against the sacred person of the excellent Archbishop of TURIN, who has been prosecuted by an incompetent judicial authority, arrested aid sent to th e citadel by the aid of the public force," is a still greater aggravation of the outrage. The prelate expresses his surprise at " this outrage, so in sulting to the high dignity of the sacred personage." He concludes by declaring that, " whatever reforms may have been introduced into the civil legislation of the Sardinian States, the venerable laws of the Church are, nevertheless, still in force." The Bibhop'oi TEMPIO (Sardinia) has addressed a circular to the clergy of his diocese, declaring that it is their duty to submit to the law of Siccardi. He orders, moreover, the Chancellors of the two Ecclesiastical Courts of Tempi° and Castelsardo to transmit immediately to the secular tribunals all the cases that may still be pending before them. The Bishops of TARENTAISE, MAURIENNE, and ANNECY have refused the decoration of the Grand Cross of St. Maurice and Lazarus, which the King of SARDINIA had sent them. The King of SARDINIA. has given directions for a rural festival at his villa of Stupinigi, to celebrate the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of GENOA The members of both Chambers, and the National Guards of all degrees, are invited with their families.

A rule in this ca,e had been obtained by Mr. D. calling on Mr. John Lloyd to show cause why ne should not suffer the penalty for practising as an at torney of this court, without being duly qualified.

This was the memoran dum of the Judge, Mr. Justice Williams, before whom it was sworn.

Caroline Petira, the ayah, who yesterday prosecuted iwo parties fur an alleged feleny, was this morning ar raigned ou an indictment charging her with stealing a qusntity of jewellery, the property of Dr. DarwoLd, her former master. Mr. CLARKIeN, who appeared for the prosecutor, stated that in consequence of the previous good charac ter of the prisoner, aid believing that in this case she had been made the tool of other parties, the prosecutor was not anxious ,to offer any evidence against her, it such a course met the approval of the Court. The RECORDER did not think the jury could con scientiously co ,vict the prisoner under the circum stances, and he had therefore no objection to coment to the proppeal of the Learned Counsel.

Sun-,tr,..t, I:Wopi vte-street, under the pretence f getting him a situfttion in the House•office through her hlfluenee with Lord Alfred Paget, was again brought up f, , r final exami riati..n. _The . evidence &Maud on the first extermination went to show that in the month of July, 184 e, tie prosecutor became atquititited with the prisoner through a sister of his, to whore he had lent 50/. to commence an action against a wan for breach of promise of marriage. Just before the action was settled the prisoner sent a message by his siste-r, stating that if he let her (the prisoner) have the 501. which he had advanced his sister, she would get him a Government situation. In consequence of this communication he went to the prisoner's residence in Coventry-street, where he saw her. She then told him she was on most intimate terms with Lord Alfred Paget and if he (prosecutor) would advance her the 501. she would use her influence with his Lordship and get him a "berth" in the Home-office, at a salary of lON te 3 ear. Prosecutor, on h.aring this, said be had no ob• jection to let her have 501, but she must first satisfy him that all was right. She then sqid, " Oh, it is all right, I will write to his Lordship immediately about the appoietreent, and will let you know in a day or so." She then pressed him for some money on account. He declined then to advance her any, but a few days after he sent her 15/. by his sister. About a week afterwards he received a .letter from the prisoner, informing him. it he cAled upon her she would give him the necessary documents to place him in the situation. lie accordingly called on the 10th of July, when she showed him a letter which she said she had received from Lord Alfred Paget, wherein his Lordship was alleged to state that he had got the prosecutor a -ituation in the Home-office, through therecummenda tion of the prisoner. The prisoner then asked bim for some money, and he gave her 101. She raid that was not enough, and wanted another 101. Not having so much money with him, he told her if she would accom pany him to his resid•mce, he would give her the mosey. Ste accordingly went with him, and he gave her the 101. She then left, and about two days after she called again. and told him he was to go to his situation on the follow ing Monday, on which day he was to meet his Lord ship at her house, who would be surety for the prose cutor. He went there on the Monday according to appointment, when he found that the prisoner had absconded without paying her rent. This excited his suspicions, and on inquiring at Lord Alfred Paget's, he was informed that his Lordship knew nothing at all about her. Ile saw nothing more of her until the 22d of May last, when he met her in Knightsbridge, and gave her in charge. Lord Alfred Paget proved that he was not acquainted with the prisoner, neither had he ever seen her before in his life. The letter produced was not in his bend writing. Eliza Gosby, said about four years ago, the prisoner obtained 2701., from her under the pretence of in vesting it her advaetage. She saw nothing more of the prisoner for a considerable time after, when she denianded the restoration of her money. The prisoner then geeve her 701., and an "I. O. U." fur the remainder. The latter had not been taken up. Several tradesmen who were in court, stated that the prisoner had swindled them out of preperty to a large amount, under the pretence of showing teem to various noblemen and gentlemen. A number if other charges were gone into, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MONEY and COMI%ALRCIAL NEWS CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool 3 esterday was heavy, the sales being estimated at 4,000 bales, of which 400 American were taken on speculation, and 800 for export. Prices for American under 74d. per lb. were id. per lb. cheaper. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 600 Brazil at 71d. to Bd., 200 Surat at 44d. to NA., and 50 Sea Islamic at Is. Id. to Is. 5d per lb.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done, at higher quotations. There are no arrivals to-day with taws of particular interest, the continental accounts merely noticing steady markets for produce. In the latest accounts from Quebec it is stated that— "The number of vessels arrived in our port this sea son, frum the opening of the navigation to this date, is 287, the aggregate burden of which is 117,317 tons ; being an increase over the statement of last year for the same period, of 109 ships and 45,028 tons. The total number of passengers arrived up to yesterday was 118 cabin, and 8,485 steerage—in all, 8,603. On referring to the comparative statement of last y ear for the above mentioned period, we find that the balance was in tnvour of the preceding year (1848) 91 vessels and 33,480 tons. _ _ " We have had as extraordinary prevalence of strong easterly winds at Quebec, which prevents the settiag in of warm weather, and materially operates against the progress of vegetation.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in addressing their Lord ships immediately on their entering the court this morn ing, said—l hate been instructed by. Mr. Gorham to take the opinion of the Cuurt upon an objection which may probably be raised to its jurisdiction is this case, and tor that purpose I wish to draw 3 our attention to the Act ot Parliament under which your Lordships profess to act. I understood your Lordships to have said yesterday that the rule was to be returnable to-day, and was to be argued on the 29th of this month at the sittings atter term. Now, I apprehend that is neither consistent with the practice ot the court, nor in accordance with the Act of Parliament. Your Lordships can only take that course under the statute i.f Victoria, which provided that it should be lawful fur the Courts to hold sittings in banco after term for the purpose of disposing ot the business then pending. Mr. Baron PLATT—What is the nature of your ap plication? The ATTAINEY-GENERAL—I only want the Court to know whatthey are about. Mr. Baron PLATT—This is a very irregular proceed ing, Mr. Attorney-General. I think you ought to ap pear in some character or another. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-4 appear as counsel for Mr. Gorham. Mr. Baron PLATT--The rule is due to-day. The ATTOItNET-GENERAL- - That is exactly what I am going to say, and is is my duty to point out to your Lordships in what way I think the parties may after wards object to your jurisdiction. I wish to obviate that difficulty. _ . _ The CBIEF BARON—The view which the Court takes of the matter is this:—By the statute we are entitled to name certain days in London and Westminster for 1 , hearing and disposing of business then pending. Now, in this ease, a rule was granted yesterday; it is return able to-day, and, of course, is considered to be pending. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Pardon me, my Lord; but I have to suggest a difficulty as to hat I think is the irregularity of the proceeding. Mr. Baron PLATT—You can suggest the difficulty when you come to show cause against the rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No doubt, my Lord ; hut we do .not want the case thrown over the loag vacation, as that may be the object of the other side. If the rule is returnable to-day at the rising of 'the Court it cannot be " pending," unless it is ,nlarged, and I submit the only course you can take to make the proceedings regular. Is to enlarge the rule until next t , :rni, in which case you ' might, hear comae' as proposed, on the 29th of June. The CHIEF BARON—It appears to me that the only difficulty arts: a• on the words " then pending." lam of o pinion, that the rule returnable to -day comes under the category of cases included in those words. The ATToRNEY-GENERALI want to preclude the possibility oh any obj , ction to your jurisdiction. The CHIEF BARON—We have announced to the litigant parties what course we intend to take, and it they are dissatisfied with this tribunal, they can have the rule discharged, and proceed in any other way they May think proper. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It is the irregularity of the mode of prom-ding. that proiokes me to come La re, because the point I have alluded to may ultimately be, raised upon the rtcord; and if I cannot be allowed to call your Lordships' attention to it in any other way, I may do so as an amicus curie. Mr. Baron PLATT—Yon do not appear here as amicus curia, but as the amicus of Mr. Gorham.—(A laugh.) The CHIEF BARON—I do not see the slightest diffi culfy in the cast .We are • entitled to hold sittings in vacation, and to deal with .and decide oa any matter pending and undisposed of. The discussion, after some further observations, then dropped. , IN THE MATTER OF THE ASSESSMENT TO THE LAND TAX IN THE HOLBORN DIVISIuN IN THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had to apply to the Court, by virtue of the prerogative of his office as At torney-General, to be allowed to bring on this case. Mr. PARRY—As a junior member of the bar, may I IPA on what ground the Attorney-General claims a right of priority, this being the last day of term ? The CHIEF BARON—Whenever we sit here we are bound to give our attention to the Attorney-General in all cases in which the Crown is interested, and it mat ters not whether we may be called on to do so on the fiat or the last day of term. The ATTORNEY-GHNERAL then showed cause against the rule which had been obtained in the case by Mr. Peacock, calling on the Land-tax Commissioners to show cause why they had not made an equal assessment of the hind-tax throughout the division. After hearing counsel on both sides, The COURT discharged the rule with costs. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (liviore .r. POTTER. Esq.) THE SHERIFFS OF MIDDLESEX V. SATES.

'lle prisoner pleaded not guilty. ' Mr. BOdkin, with whom was Mr. ClarksoN con ducted the prosecution, and Mr. Metcali.e, defended the -prisoner. • • The:prisoner had been .4 porter in the service of Mr. Braden, a grocer, carrying on business in Highltreet• Islington. His master's shop was one of the Posteoffice receiving -houses for the Islington district, and for! some time past several letters containing money - had been posted there, which never reached their destination. The Post-office . authorities , therefore, laid a trap to -catch the. thief They caused a letter containing a marked. half-sovereign and a marked shilling, and ad • dressed to " Miss Eliza Barber Huddlestock, Wrexham, North ales," to be posted at Mr. BradOn's shop. This ' NV letter, in due course, ought to have been forwarded to the:general of St. Martin's-le-Grand, to be dis patched into the country, but when the bag was re ceived from High-street, Islington, and opened, this let , - ter -was missing. 'An officer was immediately , sent off to a 4 certain who had made up the - bag, and it being ascot' tamed that the prisoner, with another, had assisted at the-task, both the patties were seirehed. Nothing was found on the one, but the marked shilling which had been placed in the letter was discovered . in the possession of the prisoner, and he was therefore given into custody, The letter and half-sovereign were still missing. Mr. METCALFE addressed the jury for the prisoner, and the Learned Itidge, having summed up, the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Court then aentenced the prisoner to eighteen Mouths' imprisonment. . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.)

He thought the Bill fill , c , for for; his only objection to it was that it did neY ° enough, it being only of an enabling c haractere' bri t 1 11 Mr. CHRIS fOPER would vote for the Bill', serest did not think it would benefit the agricultural 1- • much. firo j to Sir GEORGE STRICTLAND felt hiroself•fr:eof support the motion of the Hon. and Gallant Zober l (e.olonel Sibthorp). He thought the two Hoe. otio s e who had charge of the Bill, with the best in! 11 were yet mistaken in their views in introducing '!' ir rosg thought all tenant right Bills for Ireland *lr f`l in principle, and that it would be much Pews England as well as Ireland to omit all th at legislation. The House then divided, when there appenr ea. For the amendment Against it . • Majority .............. . The House then went into• Committee. On Clause 1 being proposed, 'of lb Sir J. Y. BULLER proposed the omission for words which gave compensation to tenant . fertrs . any money they may have expended in the Yee the of food for cattle, sheep, or pigs. Sureli ""iti lb farmer sold his stock, he would get compensat ion improved price that wculd be paid him. • Mr. PUSEY said just the converse Wee t he (Hear, hear.) A farmer who fed cattle for tepre of manuring his land never expected to get se 11 ,7, the cattle than what he paid for it. This eolits fu" been agreed to by two distinct Committees, ll'igiscel words proposed to be left out, which eertainii;vis the most vital part of the measure, had been ill t ' t otisr.,' upon the recommendation of Sir Robert Peel<t oetir Mr. AGLIONBY should certainly support tulbet as it stood, for he knew of his own knowledget:d tbr, many parts of the country farmers kept an d or cattle on the most expensive food for the purp o 7 00 manure.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. H. DRUMMOND said, that undoubtetlit was the moat expensive, but it did not follow DT; the best mode of obtaining manure. Indeed P`i, - ritl°,,, 4 had proved that dunghill manure was far Pr e i i - etil and he fbr•one should resist this proposed 0 °1;1 rof Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that he bad h . ritl difficulty in hearing the arguments ; the peefLeer," 4 - tlie Louse was that Members could hear the ovr A - 0 0 the other side of :he Home, but of what was O P ; 00r; side of the House they could not hear one With respect to . the words which 0 ,:„. rroposed to be 1. ft out, be thought t h e it'da some likelihood of the House reeol Y r ° , estk into a farmers' club. He was bound to oaf I °, to some experience on the Abject, and he calla 13 ;e fi e ( that artificial manures were to be put upon t" . „, e 7rtilf ing as loud purchased fur animals. A larg e fo l e';8 it yielded great returns to the purchaser; bet 074 1 trine of his Hon. Friend was to make 01 , 6 ; 5 t machines for the production of manure. He diu de cid`d to go into details on the subject, but he l os bt e r s e, opp,•sed to this clause, which he though t and'° f to be considered separate from the gbh clause; f o r were driven to vote he should "c 1)1 " certainly omission of tie words. ,• - • - ffee ifi kh Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT was disposed t °14 ;.40 1.- ob the Right Honourable Baronet in some of '`bieb but he certainly should not go to . the lengat had gone. Atter a few words from Mr. AGLIONI3Y , ' Mr..FLOY,ER had many otdec .to he sill he should oppose the present ciause.
