RAILWAY COMMITTEE. Group V. THE MIDLAND COUNTY EXTENSION. The Committee, consisting of the O'Conor Don (Chairman), Mr. J. A. Davies, Sir Denham Norreys, Sir John Rae Reid, and Mr. Hope Johnston, met on Saturday, at twelve o'clock, in room No. 13, and proceeded to call further evidence on the part of the opponents of the NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN LINE. Hr. Henry Hawell, principal agent of the Canal Company at Nottingham—The wharfs were exceedingly numerous on that por tion of the canal adjacent to the intended station, and he consi dered that the business of the canal could not be efficiently carried out if the ground were absorbed by the construction of railway buildings. There was great inconvenience felt from the circum stance of the water-way under the bridges being so circumscribed that the boats could with difilculty pass, and it was intended to widen both the waterway and the towing-path. The intended mode of crossing the canal by the railway compaay would be a most serious inconvenience to the persons using the canal, Cross-examined by Mr. WOLLASTON—The first inconvenience arising from the construction of the railway bridge, would be the narrowing of the canal; the second inconvenience because it would prevent boats from lying there after they had delivered t►eir cargo. The intended bridge would be superior to the canal bridges already in existence. John Gough, a clerk in the office of the Nottingham Canal Com. pany, proved that he had called upon the projectors of the railway, with the view of arranging clauses which should protect the inte rests of the Canal Company. This witness was ordered to retire, and to be called In when the 'louses should be under discussion. Mr. Hardy, Town.councillor of Nottingham, was called to show that the corporation only objected to the crossing of the Queen's. road on a level. They had no other objection. Mr. Bidder put in a number of tables to show the present traffic of the town and county of Nottingham. The annual charge of the railway would be 19,0001. per annum, which deducted from the expected traffic would allow 9 per cent, interest to the promoters of the line. He thought that even in the event of a railway being made directly from Lincoln to London, which would obstruct the passenger traffic that at present went through Nottingham, that loess would be replaced by the better communication opened up by the railway with Doncaster, Gainsborough, and ether places. Mr. Bidder then went into minute calculations to show that no water carriage could possibly exist in competition with the railway system, when fairly developed. Mr. S.rgeant CLAaaa then addressed the Committee. He would remind them that they had to report to the House whether a sufficient traffic had been shown to maintain the railway and to perreit a profit to the promoters. And with respect to the evidence of Mr. Bidder— for upon his evidence the whole merits of the case rested—he would ask the Committee if they could attach any weight to his statements ? The conclusions to which he had arrived bad not been warranted by the evidence of the other witnesses. The Learned Sergeant then went over the traffic evidence already given, and contended that the heavy goods which at present went by the canal would Rot be transferred by the railway. A traffic sufficient to warrant the Committee in passing the preamble of the Bill had not been proved, and he, therefore, hoped and trusted that the Bill would be thrown out. Mr. MACAULAY shortly replied, and on the conclusiose of the Learned Counsel's address the room was cleared. On the public being again admitted it was anr.ounced that the preamble was passed, and The CHAIRMAN added, that it was hoped that plane and sections of the bridges across the canals and navigable rivers on the line would be produced before the Committee. The Committee then adjourned till Wednesday. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. FRIDAY, MAY 9.

JEWS' ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The patrons and sub scribers to this asylum, which is situate in Leman-street, and is amongst the best of the benevolent institutions of the Hebrew community, having for its object the support and education of children utterly parentless and destitute, had a ball on Thursday in aid of the fiinds, by which their charitable intentions are car ried into effect, at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. It was well attended, nearly seven hundred persons being present, amongst whom were the Barons Rothschild, Lord D. C. Stuart, General Caulfield, Sheriff Sidney, Alderman Farebrother, dec., aud nearly all the higher class of the Hebrew nation in London. The great room, and in which Almack's balls are held, was splendidly illuminated for the occasion, Jullien's band was in attendance. Refreshments on an elegant and liberal scale were placed in other apartments, and the best arrangements made fur tire company. Dancing vcas commenced at balf.past nine o'clock and carried on with great spirit for many hours. The list of donations and sub scriptions to the Nadi wa stated to be 800 h THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND THE REPEAL OF THE AUCTION DUTIES. The Duke of Richmond must have determined to do what has been oftener talked of than done—to sacrifice himself on the altar of the agricultural interest. His speech against the repeal of the auction duties is a clear case of self-immolation. A man who pleads a cause, both hopeless and contemptible, on grounds that are sure to be scouted by everybody of common sense and information, must be acting from some unrevealed motive. It is well for the Duke that he is above the imputation of a cross—of a hired defeat ; but he must be victimising either himself or his party, and we have no alternative but to choose between Quixotism and treachery. His Grace's leading argument against the repeal of these duties was, that the tenant-farmer had been already exempted from them, and therefore, that others should not be exempted ; that the duties, in fact, should be retained, because the tenant-farmer had no longer a selfish interest in their repeal. The alleged fact in this argument is a gross misstatement ; the avowed principle is as gross an injustice and absurdity. The tenant-farmer is not exempted more than others. The amount of sales by auction exempted from duty in the year 1840 was 36,511,409/., while the only item in which the tenant-farmer is particularly concerned, viz , " sales of tattle, live or dead stock, corn stock, or un manufactured produce of land, whilst they continue on the land," is 2,891, 1121., that is, not one•twelftls of the whole. But with the addition of woods, coppices, &c., and every other admissible item, the special exemptions of the agriculturists are not a tenth of the whole. As for the principle of the above argument, it must speak for itself. Every special exemption is a legitimate reason against the continuance of a tax, not for it. If the agriculturists first get themselves out of the scrape, and then, on that ground, do their best to keep others in it, we shall take good care for the future how we give them a special exemption. We shall find it necessary, for our own sakes, to leave them interested in the re moval of the general burdens. His Grace then draws tip the case of the agriculturists in the following ingenious form : " If the Noble Lord had asked the question of the farmers of the country, many of them would say, ' Give us an entire repeal of the malt-tax.' But if they asked for that the Go vernment said, How can we make up for so large a defi ciency ?' lf, again, the farmers asked to be relieved of a portion of the county-rate, it was asked what would be the use of 200,0001. or 300,0001. spread over all the counties of England ? Thus, in one case they were told they asked too much, and in the other that what they asked would be of no use at all." And why are not both answers quite legitimate? If a hundred of his Grace's agricultural friends in smock frocks came to his door and asked for a fat ox, he would very probably reply that he could not spare it from his own purposes. If they immediately lowered their demand to a barndoor fowl, the most obvious reply would be —what use was that to a hundred hungry men? When the noble patron of the Agricultural Pro tection Society next attempts a dilemma, he must re member not to carry his horns quite so wide apart. The object of his onslaught escapes between them. His Grace proceeds— " They wanted justice to be done them ; on what principle was the landed interest of the country required to pay for the apprehension of every pri..oner, for his maintenance ha prison, and for the prosecution ? " It is unnecessary to answer the question on what prin ciple the landed interest does this ? because it does not do this, or anything like it. The county-rates do this ; and the rates are not merely on land, but on all real property, of which land is only just about half. But we cannot stop. The Duke plunges on : " The Government paid half the expenses of the assizes and the sessions; but why should the counties pay anything to wards the assizes? The county had no control whatever of this expenditure." The county no control whatever ! Why, who are the authorities that send prisoners to the assizes ? If the county had not a special interest in keeping down the expense of the assizes, it would transfer to them the work of the sessions. The county can control this ex penditure by reducing the committals, not to speak of certain influences which the aristocracy are supposed to possess over the moral condition of the country. If Government were to undertake the whole cost of the assizes it would be obliged, in self - defenc e, to take with it the whole responsibility of committals. What would then become of the " great unpaid ?" The next sentence solicits our attention : " The land was very properly made to support a clergyman in every parish ; but why was it forced to supply a chaplain in every workhouse and gaol ? Why should the expense be thrown exclusively on the land? " Properly or improperly, the land does neither. Only a small portion of the land is liable to a rent-charge in lieu of tithes, which the tenant-farmer merely pays to the resident clergyman, instead of the perhaps non-resi dent landowner. With much more justice may it be said that the land is made to support a landlord. It, too, there happens to be no ancient endowment, what becomes of the Duke's universal burden ? As for- the land being forced to supply a chaplain in every work house and goal, we can only repeat that all real property does this. The expense is not thrown exclusively, but only half, on the land. This error is persisted in to the last. " The land had also to bear the whole expense of maintaining the wives and children of those confined in prison, and of men transported." We never before heard that the land possessed a monopoly of crime, and that towns did not contribute their quota of prisoners and convicts, whose wives and children they have occa sionally to maintain. Houses, quarries, mines, iron works, fisheries, canals, railways, and a thousand other forms of property divide with agriculture the supply of crime, and the expense of its consequences. And when it is remembered that more than half the inmates in many of our gaols are there for offences against the Game-laws and the Poor-laws, and have been sent there with the ultimate intention of keeping down wages, and keeping up game, it is not unreasonable that the land owner should contribute rather handsomely to the ex pensive expedient. The Duke, however, in the heat of his noble argument is not content with fighting against the burden of crime, he demands for land the profit on convictions:— " If a criminal who had any property was transported, whom did that property go to? It did not go towards the county-rate, but to the Crown. When recognizance,: 'were estreated, they also went to the Crown. Was it fair that one should bear all the loss, and the other take all the s,,eofit?" We must confess that for once the Duke has the better of us. He is right here. Certainly there ought to be a county ledger of the profit and loss on. criminal causes; with the prison and assize charges on. one pate, and per contra the felon's pigs, and chairs, and crockery. Now and then a convict does not " cut up so ill." Justice ought to be assimilated to the habits of a mercantile country. But there is an important item we are astonished to find omitted in his Grace's list of agricul tural grievances. When a man is hung, whatever charges " the land" has been at on account of his con finement and trial, his clothes all go to Jack Ketch. This is monstrously unfair. The " tenant-farmers," who have been at all the loss, have an undoubted right to the profit, viz , the wretch's smock frock and boots. One is tempted onwards. " There was not a session that did not throw some additional expense on the land, because the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not care how much the county-rate was burdened." The Chancel lor of the Exchequer, of course, has no sympathy with rate-payers. If the opportunity offered, he would not hesitate to sell all the landowners and tenant-farmers in the country to the Turks, and apply the proceeds towards the redemption of the national debt. But what additional expense has been thrown on the land this session ? To continue. " He wished the Conso lidated Fund was charged with 15 or 20 per cent. of the poor-rate ; the counties would still have enough to pay to make them look after the expenditure, and by the Government bearing part of it justice would be done." In the present state of the poor law, it Government paid 15 or 20 per cent. of the ex pense, the only result would be, that the Duke of Rich mond would send 15 or 20 per cent. more of his labourers, their wives, and children, to the union workhouse, and screw down wages 15 or 20 per cent. lower. If this answered, he would soon begin to ask 50 per cent. from Government, that he might send 50 per cent, more to the union, and get his labourers at 3s. 6d. a week instead of 7s. We are forced to deny ourselves a few general remarks we had intended on this unique piece of ducal eloquence. The running commentary must suffice. This, however, we will say:—we nev'er yet read anything so uniformly, so compactly, so com pendiously erroneous. His Grace has never once stumbled on common sense or veracity. Not a principle, not a sentiment, not a fact is within sight of truth or propriety. The speaker flounders along through the mud of his argument without finding one stepping stone, one bit of terra firma. It reminds us of a story we have heard of a distinguished vocalist, remarkable for the painful accuracy of his ear. He was at a public dinner, where a conceited amateur volunteered a song. As soon as it was over the professional gentleman gave vent to his agonized feelings in a complimentary address. "Sir," said he, " I thank you. You have given me a greater treat than I ever enjoyed or expected to enjoy. You went through that song without being once in tune. Every note was wrong."—Times. DENBIGIISHIRE.—On Wednesday Sir W. W. Wyni was re-elected to represent the county of Denbigh without opposi. t ion, though the lion. Baronet was obliged to listen to some se. vere reproofs from a free trader for opposing the repeal of the corn laws, from an agriculturist for betraying the farmers, a•id from a Mr. Brownlow Wynne Wynne for supporting a Government which had betrayed them as farmers, robbed them as Churchmen, and in sulted them as Protestants. Though considerable dissatisfaction was expressed with the Hon. Baronet's conduct, no other candi date was proposed, and he is sent back to Parliament by constitu. ents who no longer place implicit faith in Sir Watkin. SALE OF THE HUNTERS OF MR. FOLJAMBE.— Thursday a sale by auction took place at Messrs. Tattersall and Son's, Hyde-park-corner, ot the stud of hunters well known to have run with the hounds of Mr. Foljambe, in Nottinghamshire, and who has given up hunting. The yard was thronged with gen tlemen of sporting celebrity, and a very active competition arose far the different lots. Among the noblemen and gentlemen pre sent were the Earl of Sefton, Lord Rosalyn, Lord Langda!e, Lord Curzon, Lord Craven, Lord Shelburne, Mr. C. Newdegate, M.P., Sir if. Peyton, Sir C. Cockrell, &c. There were twenty horses, which were sold for about 1,800 guineas. Sampson fetched 340 guineas, Parker 290 guineas, Brilliant 300 guineas, Sir Gilbert 240 guineas, &c. The hounds of Mr. Foljambe were disposed of a few weeks ago at the kennel, and sold for above 3,700 guineas. TRUE ClVlLlSATlON.—Prosecutions have already commenced against the press in Algeria.

On Wednesday, in answer to a question from Captain Polhill, in respect to condemned sermons, Sir James Graham observed that "communications had taken place between his predecessor, Lord Normanby, and the Corporation of London ; and that, in consequence, the Corporation had made a regulation prohibiting the ad mission of the public to hear the condemned sermons on the Sunday previous to an execution." He also added, " that he (Sir James Graham) had ordered a prison in spector to proceed to Newgate to inquire into the cir cumstances connected with the last execution, and to examine the transactions both of the Sunday and the Monday morning." ..Alderman Copeland, after ex pressing his satisfaction at such a proceeding, observed that "he thought the time had arrived when these public exhibitions should be dispensed with altogether : after the execution, he, in his capacity of magistrate, had committed many persons for trial, and had con victed three for picking pockets even under the gallows." There are many who defend the pu nishment of death for the sake of the bene ficial example it affords ; but surely their opinion would be changed if they but regarded the police re ports after an execution—if they witnessed the feverish excitement such an event creates among the lower or ders—if they beheld the eager multitudes waiting for the verdict, or crowding to the chapel, not •to hear the ser mon, but to see the prisoner—above all, if they knew the horrors of the scene of death. Can there be a mere awful spectacle, than a public execution ? —" It is a fearful thing To see the human soul take wing In any shape—in any mood"— but at such a time death is robed in all his terrors; pain and sickness have not prepared the way to the grave ; faith and piety have not opened the path to Heaven; and he, the least prepared to die, is "cut off in the very blossom of his sins," and hurried from an earthly tribunal to appear before a Judge " who is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity." But if it be a mournful sight to behold the sinner on the threshold of eternity, is it not even worse to look upon the spectators ? Do we find them sorrowing for a brother's fall ?—do we hear the voice of pity or compassion ? No ; they crowd round the scaffold to behold the show—brutal ferocity depicted on their countenances—their only feeling for the prisoner, admiration for his firmness, or contempt for his pusillanimity—some even engaged in breaking the commandments beneath the very gallows on which a fellow-creature expiates his crime. Children are there, raised in their parents' arms ; and even women look on the scene with curiosity, and not emotion. Truly it may be said that— " Every woe a tear may claim, Except an erring brother's shame." A public execution is the most demoralising spectacle any age or country can produce. Instead of warning by example, it offers a premium to crime ; it holds up a man stained with another's blood as a theme for interest—an object for wonder and notoriety. In this "age of intelligence" we look with horror at the com bats with wild animals, which amused the ancients ; but even the fights of the gladiators were less terrible in their consequences than the gloomy scenes which are constantly recurring in this civilised country, in the nineteenth century. Sir James Graham expressed his opinion that such proceedings require investigation: we trust he will find on considering the matter, that if capital punishments are absolutely necessary, they shall no longer afford gratification to the morbid tastes of ignorant multitudes, or debase humanity, by rendering crime an object of admiration and not of horror. INNOVATIONS OF THE DAY. One of the old poets, IN ho flourished in the days o . Queen Be•ss, observed, " In England's happy land, Fashion and fame go always hand In hand." _ . This old distich, which has survived the wear and tear of nearly three centuries, is more than ever true at the commencement of the present season. The weird sisters, Fashion and Fame, still roam together " hand in hand," and have deigned to pay a lengthened visit to the esta blishment of Messrs. Nicoll, in Regent-street, who have done so much to welcome their wayward guests, that there seems but little probability that they will abandon their present abode, and " the men, the horrid men," as Lady Booby says, are doing their utmost to set off their persons to the best advantage, and for this purpose those who are endowed with taste and judgment inva- riably repair to this Establishment, which is always supplied with the last caprice of the Parisian lions. The trite and homely proverb says, that it is impossible to make a silken purse out of a certain porcine appendage; but although this remark has stood tbs test of ages, the Messsrs. Nicoll have shown its tut:A - thy, as some of their clients, on whom nature has been somewhat chary of her bounty, when turned out in registered paktuts, and other necessary habiliment% by the artists of this Esta blishment, would pass mutter with the most elegant of the slim beaux who talk scaAal in the bow window at White's. The Count de Grar.Lmont, who was seldom known to go to bed - , at least ; or the purpose of sleepivg, would perhaps have bow a more drowsy mortal if he could have repos , A Isis pleasure-worn frame upon such a luxurious lied as that which has recently been invented by Wilsr4r, the upholsterer, in Wigmore-street, Since every new pomaturn or hair oil is now a Greek compound, th.',s novel bedstead, out of deference to the established usage, has been christened the Philokathanistic, for the definition of which term we refer our unlearned readers to their lexicons. As the old yellows," with their four posters, have been swept away by the railroad en croachments, so are the old massive four-post bedsteads destined to be supplanted by these light and elegant couches. The unwieldy masses of mahogany which for merly propped up the tester are replaced by four light brass rods, supporting the canopy, which, by means of a simple piece of mechanism in the bedstead, can be lifted up and down at pleasure, thus enabling the servant to clean, adjust, and brush the whole bed- furniture within the space of a few minutes. We recommend a visit to Wig more-street, to judge respecting the merits of this inven tion. Whilst our readers are in Wigmore-street, we would suggest that they would do well to look in at the atelier of Clark, the statuary, who has a superb collection of casts from- the antique, as well as from little scraps and corners of Gothic atchitecture, which he has collected in his rambles through Normandy and other parts of the continent. his designs for monuments and emblazoned tombs arc remarkable for the correct taste which he has displayed in their selection. Whilst looking over the " storied urns" and monumental efiVg,es, we see how— " The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp of woe," and we are shown a thousand different designs by which we could re, ord our respect for departed friends or rela tises. Mr. Clark has also recently completed several statues and busts, one particularly, that of Salmacis, one of Diana's attendant nymphs, which is exquisitely beautiful. Pope talks about a lady who possessed such tender feelings that— " To make a wash she'd hardly stew a child." Now, the ladies of China, Japan, and Persia, who are re markable for the beauty and dearness of their com plexions, attribute this delicacy to the use of a cosmetic, which, whether it be made of stewed children or no, is certainly endowed with wondrous properties. We are told that the ingredients are principally herbaceous ; but, then, Professor Liebig declares that " man is a vegetable," which relieves the cannibals of a very serious imputation. This cosmetic is called " Nieen Fun," and the long secreted recipe was revealed by a priest of the temple of Teen 'ran to Dr. Charles Malcolm, who has appointed Fabian and Co. to be his agents for dispensing it to the ladies of this country. It' Mrs. Commissioner Lin has as good a complexion as has been bestowed upon her in the wax-work representa tion, we should need no stronger proof of the efficacy of the Celestial skin powder. We can assure our lady readers that we are in earnest, and that we do not mean fun merely when we advise them to give this cosmetic a trial. We recently had the pleasure of recording cur admi ration of the choice collection of articles of verb!, hijouterie, and orfeuerie, which is displayed at Piot's establishment on the Boulevard des Italiens in Paris. We learn from persona who have just returned from the French capital that he has lately made an immense addition to his stock, and that his shop has become the " Storr and Mortimer" of Paris. The most flattering accounts are received in this country of the tuste and workmanship which are displayed in all the articles exposed for sale in his establishment.—itforning Post. THE WINE TRADE.—We understand that Mr Dixon, the chairman of the Wine and Spirit Association of Liver. pool, who made application in January to the Lords of the Trea. Bury on behalf of the trade for an increase in the allowances for the natural wastage of wines in bond, and also again in the begin ning of last month, for a revision of the order, and a still greater increase in the allowances on the different sized casks in the bonded warehouses or vaults of extra security at the outporte, to both of which representations their Lordships returned a favourable reply, after consideration of the reports and opinions of the revenue officers on the matter, has recently made a further application to their Lordships, praying that the wines which were delivered in the interim between the date of the first and that of the second order, may have the benefit of the increased allowances sanctioned by the latter order; in other words, treating such wines retro. spectively, in a manner somewhat similar to the recent Treasury or.ler with respect to the return of the sanctioned allowance on duty paid sugar in bond. Their Lordships have rejected the application, as being contrary to the principle and established prac tice observed in cases of the kind, and have directed that the in. creased allowance is to take place from the date of the latter order sanctioning the same. We understand also that a memorial has been made to the Lords of the Treasury by a number of wine merchants in one of the great cities in the west of England, we be lieve Exeter, setting forth that neither of the two orders issued provides any allowance for casks under a certain size ; that Sicilian or Marsala wine, of which so large a quantity is now imported and consumed in this country, is generally brought In very small casks ; and praying that the order may be further amended, so as to in. elude casks of the size alluded to. The memorial is at present under the consideration of their Lordships, and from the spirit and inten. tinn of the former orders on the matter, it is not improbable that the request will be conceded. Tare remains of the late Earl of Stamford and Warrington, which were removed from Greville Hall on Monday, were interred in the family mausoleum at Bolton Church, about two miles from Dunham Massey, on Wednesd'.

Middlesex Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Juietke Eat. 2 and Common Juries.) aaooNia C. 00SDEN. This was an action of libel. The plaintiff is the landlord of a public-house called the Rising Sun, in Ayr-street, and the defendant is the printer of the Era newspaper- The alleged libel represented that the plaintiff had given information of a fight which was to come off on the 13th of August last, between two persons named Smith and Sixmens, near Melton, and that his object in giving the information was for gain, as he had a large interest in one of the parties. It was also stated in the same newspaper that a man had been hecussed and robbed in the plantiff's public.house, and that the plaintiff's disgraceful affair with George Norley, and •other shameful acts, were not for. gotten. Special damage was alleged, and two witnesses were called to prove that in consevence of the statements in the Era they have abstained from staying at the plaintiff's house en the occasion of their coming to London. On the part of the defendant, it was contended that he was not liable for the statement which had appeared in the newspaper, in asmuch as it was contained In a letter bearing the signaturT. of " A Lover of Honest Sporting," and was accompanied by some observations of the editor doubting the truth of the representa. tions, and stating that the newspaper was open for the insertion of Any observations in explanation that the plaintiff liked to make. It was also contended that the statement relative to the hocussing cast no imputation upon the landlord of the public-house. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages Is., on the issue which was undefended, and for the defendant on the other issues. The Learned Judge refused to certify. appearance of a foreigner, and, having locked the room ' door, he placed his back against it. Complainant asked him how he dared to enter his room in that way ? To which the defendant replied, " I have come to ask payment of the money you owe me." Complainant said if defendant had any clain on him, the law was open, and then proceeded to the door to endea vour to get out, but the defendant would not allow this, and, fearing the defendant meant to do him some bodily injury, he rang the bell violently for his servant. When his sevant came to the door, he called out to him to go for a policeman. The defendant still kept on say- ' ing, " Why don't you pay me the money," and bluster ing about the room. Complainant went to the washing stand, and.while his back was turned towards the defend ant, the defendant said "Do you mean to say you don't owe me this money r' to which he replied he certainly did not. The defendant then called him a d—d liar, and struck him a -violent blow with a stick on the back part of the head. The blow was given with sufficient force to knock him slightly os er the wash-hand basin. The foreigner immediately opened the dour and went out of the room. As soon as he recovered from the affects of his surprise, he ran after the defendant, seized him, and held hum as well as he could. In a few mi nutes a police constable arrived, and he gave him in charge. Complainant went for his soLcitor ; but when he get to Vine-street station house be found defendant had been discharged. Cross-examined—Had formerly been in the habit of playing with Sir James Mackenzie. Knew a Mr. Baugham in 1837 ; introduced him to Sir James Mac kenzie at Devonport. Believe Sir James won some money of Mr. Baugham. Could not recollect whether the amount was 3001., and whether Sir JaMes had told him that Mr. Baugham had given hi., acceptance for that sum. Could not recollect whether he had agreed to pay Sir James 160/. on behalf of his friend Mr. Baugham, on condition of a certain statement being suppressed. Could not recollect whether he (com plainant) had made a statement in writing relative to Sir James at the Horse Guards. _ _ _ During the course of cross- examination, which was continued at great length, frequent personal altercations took place between the professional advisers of both parties, and the Court was more than once obliged to interfere. _ _ _ Mr. Heaton proceeded to say that he was astonished at finding that any one holding her Majesty's commis sion could have acted in the any Capt. Campbell had acted. The facts were these :—Mr. Baughatn, Cept. Campbell's friend, was in the habit of taking his chance of winning money from Sir James Mackenzie ; but upon one occasion in his life he lost, and he .refusing to pay Capt. Campbell undertook to pay but did not, and ulti mately, certain false and injurious communications against Sir James were made at the Horse Guards. Sir James had not an opportunity of communicating with Capt. Campbell on the subject until Saturday morning last. He went to Capt. Campbell's lodgings, not to give him a blow, but to ask him for the money owing, and to demand satisfaction for the wrong and the insults he had sustained. Capt. Campbell's manner towards him be came so offensive that he lifted his walking-stick and gave him a blow. He hoped, therefore, the Court would admit that a sufficient amount of provocation had been committed to justify a lenient decision. Mr. Hardwick said under all circumstances he could see nothing in the way of mitigation. The assault was proved, and quite unjustifiable ; and he felt that the Case ought not to have come before him, but ought to have been referred to another tribunal. However, if the parties chose to have the charge disposed of in his court, all he had to do was to go to the extent the law per , mitted, to impose the paltry penalty of 51. ; and in addi tion, call on the defendant to enter into his own recog nizances in 100/, and to find two good sureties in 501. each, to keep the peace. A JACK IN AND ♦ JACK OUT OF OPFICE.+A tall, gaunt, grizzle-haired man, who was immediately recognised as John Daniels, otherwise Long Jack, one of the Haymarket watermen, ascended the rostrum assigned to applicants who have grievances to redress, and throwing a proper quantity of " the dismals" into his face, waited until he could catch the eye of jug' ice. Well, my man, said Mr. HARDWICK, what do you want 1— Vents to know how I'm to get my third of the pump vat ye valet men put up and paid for in the Haymarket ; cos, yer Vership, Mister Mansell's taken avay my Haymarket badge aid license, for giving hevieence agin Ratcliffe, wot's one of his own relations. As a preliminary step to afford a clear insight into the character of the application, it will be necessary to state that, a few weeks ago, a constable connected with time Metropolitan Hackney Car riage Offloe, named Ratcliffe, was brought to this Court for drunken ness and misbehaviour. The charge of intoxication was mainly established by the applicant, who had treated the constable to a propitiatory glass of gin. I got a letter from Mr. Mansell, wet belongs to the Hackney Carriage Office, t'other day, yer Vership, said the applicant, sum moning me afore him, and telling me to bring my badge and license. Ven I goes, says he, " Daniel, we put another man in your place as vorterman in the Haymarket." " Hope," says I, "there mint nuffin agin my character." " No,'' says he, "not nuffin vot somhever ; but," says he, " I sha'nt take away your license alto gether. I shall move you to the London-bridge rank." " It's worry hard lines," says I, "to have my bread taken from my mouth cos I only spoke the truth agin your relation. There's my badge and license, and I'll resign ; but vot about my third of the pump, vot I paid seven pound odd for." " Settle that there vith the man vot superscribes yer," says he ; but Yen I axes this here man wot is appointed to be my predecessor, he says he vont pay a farden. Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, and how can I assist you f—Vy, you see there's a third of the pump and buckets, my natteral rights, cos I can show my receipt for the money. Now epose this here, that I ketches the new man a using my third of the pump, and my third of the buckets, and my third of the vater, and I stands up to pertect my own property, and one of the meterlolloping police constables brings me afore you for summut, vot'lt your Vership do to roe P Mr. HARDWICK-1 canna give any opinion ow a hypothetical case. If you have any complaint, why not see Mr. Wedgewood, the Commissioner ? Applicant—Mr. Vtdgwood's too grand to see Bich ains. Mr. Mansell does all the hofEce work, and it an't no use axing him. But, yer Vership, it's a hard case to be turned out of my place, vot bad so long, for speaking the truth. I've got a few clothes and a few little sticks—them . ' wot I must live on, and yen they're gone, and they ron't last werry long, I've puffin afore me but the union. Mr. HARDWICK—I should recommend you to lay your case is a memorial before the Commissioner. From what I know of Mr. Wedgewood's high sense of honour and justice, 1 am certain he never would sanction, on the part of a subordinate, any act of petty tyranny or oppression. The countenance of " Long Jack " brightened up, he thanked the magistrate, and left the Court. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Maw 9. Nisi Prius Sittings at Westminster, before Baron PLATT and a Common Jury.) )(CREDIT!! V. MEREDITH —REDUCTION. Mr. ALEXANDRR. with Mr. Keating, appeared for the plaintiff, who, it was stated, was a farmer and dairyman residing at Twerton, near Bath, and complained in this action of the seduction of his daughter by the defendant, who was also the son of a farmer at Brislington, near Bristol, wader circumstances •f great aggra vation. The plaintiff and the defendant's father were first cousins, and this connexion occasioned a close intimacy between the two families. So far back as the year 1841, the defendant p o la f intTff ar ; ji b a u g t e no to time was agreed upon, and the madedaught daughter overtures u t r h es e Elisabeth Meredith, the elder intimacy between the parties continued up to the month of January, 1844. In that month the mother of the defendant died, and the plaintiffs wife went to the defendant's father's house, and stayed there until after the last offices were performed to the de.. fendant's mother. The defendant then brought horns the plain. tiffs wife in a carriage, and at the same time proposed that the plaintiff's eldest daughter, Elizabeth, st.ould return with him, to take charge of his father's house, and that in about six weeks, or as soon as decency permitted, he should marry her. Under those circumstances, the plaintiffand his wife consented to their daughter going to the defendant's father's house. For a while the dean. dant treated the young woman with respect, but shortly after com menced taking personal liberties with her, and then wholly refused to perform his promise of marrying her. She left the defendant's house, and returned to her father's in April, and in October last was delivered of a female child, of which defendant was the father. The defendant had not contributed in any respect to the expenses consequent upon the young woman's pregnancy, and, under those circumstances, the father asked compensation from the jury for the dishonour of his family, and the loss of his daughter's services. Elisabeth Meredith was then examined, and gave her testimony in so low a tone, with so much reluctance and apparent embarrass. ment, that very little she said was heard. She stated that she was twenty-Ave years of age, and the defendant thirty.five years of age, and that he effected his object above a fortnight after she went to live at his father's, in the kitchen, on a Sunday night, after supper, and when the rest of the family had gone to bed. On cross-examination the witness admitted that she had brought an action for breach of promise of marriage against the defendant. She positively denied that she had any other sweetheart but the defendant, or knew any other man. The person at whose house the plaintiff's daughter was confined, and a sister and brother of the young woman, were also examined. Mr. iII3IFREY (with whom was Mr. Gray) then addressed thejury for the defendant, in mitigation of damages. He admitted, after the evidence the jury had heard, that there must be a verdict for the plaintiff; but the defendant lived with and was wholly depen dent upon his father ; and If the jury gave a severe verdict, whilst it would ruin the defendant, it would do no service to the plaintiff, as the defendant must go to gaol. Baron Pcarr, in summing up, observed that, though the defendant asked for mercy at the hands of the jury, he ought to have thought a little of the mercy due to a father's feelings who had entrusted his daughter to his charge. The defendant seduced the plaintiff's daughter is a house where he ought to have felt himself bound to protect any woman, and still more a relation residing there under such circumstances. The jury, however, shou'd endeavour, in estimating the damages, net to allow their feeling 4 to influence them in giving what might be called vindic. live damages. He was bound, also, to tell them that they were not entitled to give any damages In respect of the breach of pro. mise of marriage. After a short consultation, the foreman said that eleven of the jury agreed, but one could not be got to agree to a verdict. Baron PLarr—Well, Gentlemen, retire, and discuss the matter. That is one of the advantages of trial by jury. A juror said he thought the plaintiff and his wife had both per. milted the young woman to go to the defendant's house. Baron Ptirr—Yes; but they did not consent to hie debauching their. daughter. Juror—No; but they put her very much in the way of it. The Jury then retired, and in ten minutes returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Oil. 6s. Ad. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, May 10. THE ROMFORD BANK. IN THE MATTER OF 30115505, JOHNSON, AND MANN. This was a bitting before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, for the bankrupt, the late Alderman Thomas Johnson, the rid( r, to pass his last examination. After a number of proofs of debts, the bankrupt passed his last examination. A dividend of ss. has been paid, and a further one of 2s. is expected. Mr. Mann has obtained his certificate, and his few cre ditors on the separate estate were paid in full. LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS. (Before the Leas MATOR, REcoanas, and ALDEILMEN.) These sessions were held on Saturday. There was a great deficiency of jurymen, both grand and petty. Of the former, four were tined 101. each ; of the latter, several were fined a similar sum, and as there were not a suf f icient number to form a second jury, all above the first twelve were discharged from further attendance. Henry England was indicted for an assault on John Walton. It appeared by the evidence, that the prosecutor went to some pre mises belonging to him, and let to a person named Enfield, who sold hie business to the defendant. Prosecutor went to the house to get his rent, and found the place nearly stripped ; he was going to make a distraint, when defendant seized him by the collar, and threatened to throttle him. The goods were got away, and the key was kept for eight weeks afterwards. He had offered to settle on an apology, and the rent due at the time being paid. The Recoenea suggested to Mr. Wilde, defendant's counsel, that the plea of Not Guilty should be withdrawn, and defendant enter into a recognizance to appear for judgment next sessions. He considered, that under the circumstances, It would be much "cheaper" for the defendant. - Mr. WILDE said, that after what had fallen from the Court, he had no hesitation in advising that course. Defendant was then found Guilty. Mr. PAYNE addressed the Recorder, and said, that as the Court of Queen's Bench had decided that appeals could not be heard at intermediate sessions, it Was to be regretted some arrangement could not be made that the jury should not be called en, as they were now liable to be called eight times a year. The Recoaera said that when the Magistrates of the City of London thought intermediate sessions unnecessary, he should feel happy to relieve them ; but he did not see why there should not be intermediate sessions. It was so in other courts, and grave mat ters were tried. He thought, however, that It would be advisable to appoint appeals to be heard on the adjournment day of the Quar ter Sessions, when .the list of cases for the jury was light, or a special day appointed, which would prevent the unnecessary and prolonged attendance of parish officers. The Grand Jury brought in several bills for assaults and mis demeanours, but the parties put In bail and traversed, and the court broke up. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) BO IV-STREET. A FORCIBLE ENTRY. — John Quincey Harris, late M.P. for Newcastle - un d e r- Lyne, was placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged with unlawfully making a forcible entry into the house of Mr. George Roberts, solic.tor, of Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn, his brother-in law, and assaulting his servants. The complainant stat e d that he was the husband of tahe Friday house, evening, about five o'clock, he went to ascertain the the defendant's sister , a nd resided in Montague - street, Russellhearing square. u n a o see in . O cause, when he found the defendant struggling with his servants, and to prevent a further breach of the peace being committed, he sent for a constable, and had the defendant conveyed to the station.house. The defendant said be had received a letter from his mother, in which she expressed a wish to have a conver sation with him on business, and on presenting himself at the complainant's house, where she at present resided, he was resisted, and taken to a place of confinement, where he remained the whole of the night, and for which he was determined to institute legal proceedings against the whole party. The complainant assured the Gaul that several at tacks had been made upon him by the defendant, in con sequence of which he went in bodily fear, and from his general conduct he had every reason to conclude he was not accountable for his actions, being of unsound mind. The defendant, in a very excited manner, declared that every word tittered by the complainant was false, and having taken a prayer-book from his pocket, he read in a very solemn manner the entire of a psalm, while the complaisant was endeavouring to impress on the magistrate that he had been for a considerable time la bouring under very strong delusions. Mr. Twyford said he was induced, from what had just taken place, to have the opinwn of medical gentle men before he could allow the defendant to be dis charged. He then ordered the defendant to find bail, himself in 150/., and two sureties in 1001. each, to keep the peace till the sessions. The defendant was then removed from the bar ; and the persons who offered themselves as bail in the course of the day were informed that the complainant must be furnished with twenty-four hours' notice. IVOR SH/P- STREET. An elderly German, named Frederick William Zahell, a master sugar-baker. was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with the manslaughter of a French man, named Jean Frederick Cobet, a sack manufacturer. Both prisoner and deceased were known as men of pro perty, and had been friends. They were drinking to gether in a public house, and a quarrel ensued about a sovereign. This lid to a pugilistic contest, in the course of which th e p r i soner gave d ece ased an unlucky blow, from the effect of which he died. The magistrate consented to admit the prisoner to bail, two good sureties in 2501. each, in addition to the prisoner's own re cogn i zance i n 500/., f, - ,r his appearance at the Central C r i m i na l C o urt to take his trial. — The required bail was i mme di a t e ly given, and the prisoner was liberated until the sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STREE T. Sir James Sutherland Mackenzie was summoned before Mr. Hardwick, for having committed an assault upon Captain Robert Campbell. Mr. Heaton attended for the defendant, and a gentle man from the firm of Barnes and Co. appeared for the complainant. Captain Campbell said, on Saturday evening last he was dressing in his bed-room, at No. 4, King-street, St. James's, when he heard a knock, and he called out " Come in." The defendant opened the door, and, seeing him, hastily entered the room with t,v Person having the - THE ROBBERY AT THE READING - - RAILWAY STATION. READING ADJOURNED SESSIONS, MAY 11. The Court opened this morning before the Recorder, Mr. Ser geant Merewether, Mr. J. G. Willat, Mayor, and the fa:lowing magistrates :—Messrs. 11. Hawkes, E. Micklem, E. Hodges, J. Richards, jun., and Captain Parvis. Thomas Henry Robinson surrendered to take his trial on the charge of having stolen a 501. note belonging to the Great Western Railway Company, on the 11th of February last. Mr. Clarkson (specially retained) and Mr. Williams (with Mr. Charles Nash, from Messrs. Swain, Stevens, and Co., solicitors for the Company) appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Carrington de fended Robinson. The defendant being well known in the town, from having held for some time the office of cashier at the station, the Court was crowded to hear the result. Mr. CARRINGTON made an application to the Court for the sum of 131. 10s., a penknife, and other articles. which were taken from Robinson at the time of his apprehension, to be given up to him. This application he founded up m several cases, which the Learned Counsel cited, where money, as in this case, had no con. nexion with the subject of inquiry, the property forming no part of the note in question. Mr. CL►RKSON opposed the application in some lengthened ar gument:, and the Recorder expressed his unwillingness to yield to it. At twenty minutes past twelve o'clock the grand jury returned a true bill against the defendant, and the case was proceeded with. Mr. CLARKSON stated, at great length, the whole particulars of the case, which subsequently appeared In evidence, and being pre cisely the same as those reported in the newspapers of the 7th ult. The only new feature was the production of a letter forwarded by Robinson to Harris, which the Learned Counsel designated as a most artful act, and, in his opinion, materially aggravated the na. ture of his offence. It is as follows : " Shoreditch, March 14, " My dear Harris,—How much I regret matters have turned out so unfortunately for you ; but, my dear fellow, I cannot think that the SO/. note affair is the sole cause. You way rest assured that though it is the plea other things are the cause of your dismissal ; at least such is my opinion, and u it is no use to 'cry over shed milk,' I would by all means endeavour to get another situation of a different kind, for I fear you are not calculated for the duties of clerk, and if I may suggest to you, I would say try for a conductor's or guard's situation, and though I know it is rather touching a tender chord to propose such a thing to you, yet I am in earnest in my suggestion, and trust you will give me credit for sincerity, and as I expect to be down to.morrow by mail train (night), I will not now write more, but remain, as usual, yours very truly, "T. H. ROBINSON. The 50/. note had been sent by Robinson, who received it as a 51., to Miss Southall, who, with her mother, lived in London, had obtained change for it, and sent part back to Robinson. Harris, a fellow clerk, had been punished on suspicion, and after a troublecome investigation traced the facts, which the prisoner, by a fictitious letter to the Southall's, had attempted to screen. The case for the prosecution having concluded, Mr. CARRINGTON made a most ingenious and eloquent address on behalf of the prisoner, and the RECORDEL having occupied upwards of an hour in summing up the case, the Jury consulted together for about half an hour, and returned a verdict of Guilty, accompany. ing it with a recommendation to mercy on account of his previous good character. Sergeant MISREWETIIRR, in passing sentence, said it was a dis tressing thing to observe a young man so respectable placed in such a p..intbl situation and in the course of imprisonment, aggravated by deception, fraud, and insincerity, and hoped he would avail him self of the opportunity of redeeming his character. He had cer tainly forteited in a great degree his good character; but the peo. ple of this country were generous and kind, and would in time forget it ; therefore he hoped he would try to restore himself to society, and his wife and family. The learned Reorder then sen tenced him to six calendar months' imprisonment. The trial lasted nearly six hours. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MAY 9.—We have no new feature to notice in this branch of trade this week. About an average amount of business has been done, and prices continue very firm. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MAY 9.—Sales of low combing wools are dull ; in finer kinds there is a steady demand, and stocks are light. Prices are very firm. Clothing wools of middle and low qualities are not_plentiful, an d p r i ces are fi rm . WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MAY 9.—We have had very little doing during the week, and prices may be quoted rather on the advance. _ _ LEEDS.—The advance which has taken place in the price of goods of low quality, has hai the tendency of checking the demand ; considerably less business was don© at the Cloth-halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, the-a has been the case for several weeks past, and it is generally supposed that there will not be much done in low qualities, until it is known how wool will ma'ntain its. price at the coming sales. Fine goods continue in pretty good demand, and the stocks on hand are lower than they have been during the same period of the year for several years past. Business continues pretty steady lu the warehouses. TRADE OF LEICESTER.—WooIs continue very firm, nrul worsted yarns are more in demand. The cotton trade has been a very good ono for the season, and but little stock on hand. The prospect of a full trade ap pears favourable,—Leeds Mercury.
