In answer to your inquiry, as to the comparative nature of the works between Sheffield and Buxton and those between Buxton cad Leek, I have now perfect sections throughout, and my former opinion is hilly confirmed, that the portion between Sheffield and Buxton is not only very much lighter, but that it will consist throughout (except the crossings of two narrow ravines) of works of a moderate and ordinary character; the tunnelling, forinstance,ll have been able to reduce to less than a mile and a quarter in length, divided into three tunnels, all through favourable strata, and the longest will not exceed three-quarters of a mile.

" Whitehall, Oct. 27, 1845, " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Blanchester, which bears date the 22d of October. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "Thos. Barley, Esq." "ROBERT PEEL. Is this a hoax? Is it one of Sir ROBERT'S bad jokes ? Is it meant for the "cut direct" to all future impor tunity on so disagreeable a subject? Is it a petulant betrayal of that vexation, and that sense of embarrass ment which the promised success—" so far as human fore sight could regulate such matters"—of his sliding-scale at its promulgation, compared with the absurd and enormous failure of its subsequent working, would be likely enough to produce in the minds of any other statesmen, however it may operate on that of Sir ROBERT PEEL? We really cannot answer our own interrogatories, or arrive at any solution of an experiment (as it appears to be) so ill-judged, ill-timed, and ill-managed, on the indulgence and support of his here ditary Manchester connexion ; or the toleration of the coun try at large, for whose distress and apprehensions it manifests so lofty an indifference ! Several of the large provincial towns have already railways extending into their most populous districts, and thereby-a fording great accommodation to a numerous and increasing population. London has at last resolved to follow the example. All fear about fire, and smoke, and noise, which, in the in fancy of railroads, created such needless hostility to their continuation into large cities has disappeared, and in a few years we shall have stations erected in some of the most bustling and crowded thoroughfares of the metropolis. The Corporation of London have acted wisely in adopting the report of the Commissioners in favour of granting the sites of Farringdon-market and the Fleet Prison for this pur pose, not only as a matter of convenience, but of necessity, for otherwise one or ether of two contingencies must have been the result. Either some powerful companies, backed by influential tradesmen and merchants, would have formed a similar plan, or the trade in the heart of the City must have greatly suffered, and new towns consequently been raised in the environs near the stations of the great lines running from every part of the country to the metropolis. But in addition to the advantages which the plan will give to trade in the proper quarter, the removal of several filthy—almost uninhabitable streets, will tend to improve the health of the community—the works will afford ample employment to builders, carpenters, bricklayers, and other labourers, and the City at the same time be greatly improved. Farringdon-market at present is really of no use ; and the outcry raised by some, therefore, against the scheme cannot have the slightest weight with the Legisla ture. Besides the Fleet Prison was a greater nuisance than any, railway station can be even in the eyes of the most prejudiced. Some plan like this has in fact become absolutely necessary, for the termini of some of the great lines were at such a distance that time is wasted in reaching them, which would enable passengers to travel some twenty or thirty miles, and for short distances they were nearly useless. The proprietors of railways on the south are also forming plans for extending them across the river, so that in a very short period the lines from the north and south will verge towards the same centre. The gentry of the district of Killarney have set a noble example, which we trust to see followed by the gentry of every district throughout Ireland. Acting on the maxim, " that property has its duties as well as its rights," they have manfully commenced the performance of those duties. On the 25th of October a meeting of the inhabitants of the town and district of Killarney was held, for the purpose of taking steps to avert the calamitous consequences likely to ensue from the disease of the potato crop, At this meeting there were men of all parties and all sects—Protestant and Catho lic, Repealer and Conservative, seemed to vie with each other in their endeavours to relieve the distresses of their poorer fellow-countrymen. The state of the potato crop in the district of Killarney is worse than even the most desponding could have anticipated. The following resolution, moved by M. J. O'CONNELL, Esq., M.P., and seconded by J. CRONIN, Esq., proves the fact, and shows the necessity there is for immediate interference to save the poor of this district from utter starvation : " That it appears to this meeting that the potato crop in this district has been, to a great degree, a failure, and that the food for the population is so very deficient in consequence as to render measures the most immediate and effective necessary to procure a supply, and that a copy of the resolutions of this meeting be transmitted to the Lord Lieutenant, with a request that the sub. ject may be brought under the immediate consideration of her Majesty's Government" We cannot doubt but that her MAJESTY'S Government will feel it their duty to lose no time in responding to this call -of distress, and that they will adopt immediate and effective measures (and any measure to be effective must be imme diate) to avert the threatened famine. A committee was then appointed to meet every Saturday at Killarney to adopt such measures as to them may seem proper to alleviate the calamity likely to occur from the failure of the potato crop. In this committee we find the Right Rev. Dr. EGAN, the Roman Catholic Bishop, co-operating with the Rev. EDWARD HERBERT, the Protes• tant vicar of Killarney, and all the clergy of the district of all religious persuasions. We find Lord KENRARE and HENRY ARTHUR HERBERT, Esq., staunch anti-repealers (the latter, we believe, an Orangeman), joined with Mr. MORGAN JOHN O'CONNELL, M.P., and Mr. J. O'CONNELL, of Grena, the nephew and brother of the O'CONNELL, and aiding and assisting these in this labour of Christian charity, is Mr. D. S. LALOR, the sturdy repealer. The very fact of these gentlemen being thus brought together cannot but tend to soften down asperities—to subdue party animosities—to break down the barrier of social, or rather of party, exclusive- - - • ---- - ness, which is the curse of Ireland, and to teach men of al parties to be more tolerant and more just to their opponents ; and thus, perhaps, this material pestilence from which Ire land is now suffering, may be the means of freeing her from that greater moral pestilence under which she has for ages suffered. One of the resolutions agreed to is as follows : "Resolved,—That the Committee be instructed to take steps to create a fund to purchase food and to procure stores, and that they do apply to the Commissioners and Trustees of the Irish Re. productive Loan Fund for the sum of 1,0001., now to their credit in this county for the purpose." In pursuance of this resolution a subscription was entered into by those present, and the following munificent donations were made to the Provision Fund : Lord Kenmare £3,000 Henry Arthur Herbert 1,500 Christopher Gallwey, High Sheriff Morgan J. O'Connell, and John O'Connell, of arena _ _ Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8.: 5OO John Coltsmann 3OO John Leahy Denis Shine Laler 5OO Rev. E. Herbert, Vicar of Killarney lOO Rev. R.

In the name of humanity, we call upon the proprietary class: throughout Ireland to follow their example, and upon the gentry of Eng land to be assisting and that with no niggardly hand—in this good work. - Madrid journals of the 28th October have been received, from which we learn that a little affair at Court had afforded a subject of conversation. Father FuLcoslo, the confessor of " an exalted personage" (we suppose the QUEEN is meant), had been ordered to quit the capital in twenty-four hours. Some say he is banished for political intrigues, pomibly for some scheme of the Court of Rome, relative to the marriage of her MAJESTY ; but this comes of Queens having confes sors. The following paragraph from the Eco del Comercio accounts for the rise which has lately taken place in the Three per Cents. On Saturday a splendid banquet was given at the Commercial Circle, in celebration of a union formed between all the great speculators in Three per Cents., in order to raise that stock as high as possible, and afford the Cabinet a moral support; but this scheme cannot be realised, for the stockholders are on their guard, and it is not easy to take them by surprise, by playing at either a rise or fall. Among the principal capitalists who attended the dinner were remarked some representatives of foreign houses, who drank to the union of the speculators in Three per Cents. The utmost harmony prevailed at the banquet." The Fmads ready touched upon, the memorialists submit that, :" under these circumstances, it becomes the dutyof Government to open the ports for the free admission of food of all kinds." They observe that " the success even of this decisive remedy de pends mainly on the promptitude with which it is applied ; and, therefore, your memorialists urge the imperative necessity of adopting it without delay, by means of an Order in Council:" which, they feel assured, " would have the sanction of Parlia ment and the enthusiastic approval of the nation." We print sem* porticos of this passage in italics, with the view of reminding the reader that both the measrre recommended, and the necessity for its prompt adoption, to gether with the means of promulgating it, are set forth not only to the same effect, but in the very words employed by us some ten or twelve days ago, in calling upon the Govern ment immediately to open the ports. Now what is the Premier's reply to this anxious, this so lemn representation on the part of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce ? Does it hold out one opinion, intimate one hope, express one sympathy, announce one proposition, on the deplorable state of the community on whose behalf the me morial had been specially prepared ? Does it condescend to intimate, on the part of the Minister who dates from Whitehall, or on the part of the SOVEREIGN whom it must have been his duty to apprise of the lan guage and objects of that memorial, a single emotion of sorrow for, or condolence with, the masses who are, or must be, the sufferers under, or the victims, even, of this dire ca lamity? Nothing of the kind. So cold and insulting a common-place might have been whistled by any sordid capitalist, in all the pride of recent realisation, and to the tune of " Money in both pockets" as his answer to the appeal of famishing poverty to his charity, It is a regular stereotyped—lithographed—or cut-and-dried billet-de-bureau, which might have been drawn from some pigeon -hole, docketed for " Forms of Answer to Memorials from Manufacturing Districts." Here it is—we reprint it as a curiosity : continue firm. Private sales were made at the followin g prices :—Three per Cents. 338 to 34; the Five per Cents. 238 cash, 24 paper ; coupons, 25 cash, 26 paper. The Debt without interest, 8 to 88. The French Government had received further dispatches from General LAMORICIERE, giving details of the military movements in the province of Oran, up to the 24th ult., and froM these it appears that ABD-EL-KADER is more active than ever, and „folly determined to continue the struggle in defence of his country to the last. The dispatches generally represent him as fleeing before the French, but he flees only to surprise them in some new quarter, and wear them out by marches and countermarches. The contents of the last dis patches are thus given in Galignani :—" General LA31.0.. RICIERE writes on the 24th ult. from Sidi-Bel-Abbes, that on the 18th he received information that ABD EL-KADER, after having burned the bridges of the Mouilah and Tafna had proceeded towards the south by the country of the Beni-Senous, spreadingZa' re port that he was moving to the east. Thinking this pro bable, the General marched towards Tlemcen, where he arrived on the 21st, and being there informed that ABD EL-KADER had pushed on as far as Tellont, he separated from General CAVAIGNAC, and on the 23d arrived at Oued-Sarno. On the 24th he reached Sidi-Bel-Abbes. The EMIR, says General LAMORICIERE, had not gone beyond Tellont, but his Kalifs, BOU-HAMRDI, had gone before him, and had induced several fractions of tribes to emigrate. As BOU-HAMEDI had only one hundred cavalry with him, and could not, therefore, have effected this by force, the General concludes that it had been previously agreed upon by the Chiefs, General ILAmolucrEaz incloses a report from General DE BOURJOLLY, giving an account of his march against Bou- MazA, after the appearance of that chief in the environs of Mostaganem. Bou-Mtzs, however, had moved away in time to avoid an attack. General DE BOURJOLLY also gives an account of the conflict with Bou-Mszs near Mostaganem, but the main facts of this affair have already been made public. The Arabs before they retired are said to have had at least 40 killed ; the French had 12 mon killed and 10 wounded. General DE BOURJOLLY speaks in very high terms of the conduct of Colonel MELLLNET in this affair. There is a report from Colonel DE SAurr ARNAUD dated as long back as the 11th ult.,4and giving the details of several affairs of little importance, but in which the French displayed their usual energy and courage. Co lonel Mant.Dirr's account of the affair of Mostaganem, which is dated the 18th, has arrived with the reports above mentioned. It appears that the Colonel attacked Bou-MAzA with forces very inferior indeed to those of the enemy, and , drove him off after killing several of his men." The Journal des Debate, in commenting on the intelligence, considers that ADD. EL-KADER has no idea of attempting to reconquer the whole country, or even make a stand in the province of Oran, but to lead away with him into Morocco the greatest possible number of tribes, in order to form for himself there a new state and army. This is not probable; but, nevertheless, the Ministerial journal thus reasons on the supposition : " Abd-el-Kader has still a further object. For a long time his presence has been extremely irksome to the Court of Morocco, which has begun to form corps of regular troops in Fes, under in. structors brought from Egypt. in order to maintain its authority. Abd.el-Kader has well comprehended that these preparations were being made against Aim, and he is now endeavouring to place himself in a position to treat with the Morocco Court as one power with another. He will no longer consent to be considered as a banished man, followed only by his deira, but as a Sultan, surrounded by his people, and having an army at his command. From this grave political complications may result. At present the first object is to re-establish firmly on our territory that authority which has been momentarily shaken, and to chase the Emir out of it, and restore the people who leave revolted to subjection and peace. We are in the right way to accomplish this—our generals and soldiers are redoubling their devoted endeavours to serve France, and she and her Government will not hesitate to furnish our army in Africa with all the means required to maintain our conquest and the honour of our nation." Mr. Virsollons's arrival in London with the India mail, by the way of Trieste and Germany, has caused some ex citement at Paris, and cannot fail to have the best pos sible effect ill improving the French Post-office system. A Government journal leads us to believe that such will be the result : " The India mail, which arrived at Trieste on October 23, was conveyed to Manhelm in 84 hours; it was immediately taken on by a Cologne steamer, which was waiting for it. At Cologne, a special train carried it to Ostend, whence a steamer conveyed it up to Dover, and a special train took it up to London. We shall no doubt soon receive precise information en this subject ; but we consider it our duty to point out at present the great importance of this measure, as far as relates to the transit through France. When the railroad to Marseilles shall be finished, all competition by any other line will be impossible, but, in the meantime, it is highly im portant that France should enter on such indispensable improve.. menu, particularly in the quarantine system, as shall insure the superiority of her communications. We are fully convinced that the Government will pay attention to the subject." The Constitutionnel devotes somewhat more space than the other journals to Mr. Waghoru's attempt, and concludes with these remarks : " We must observe to our Government that it is :of the first importance so to organise our Mediterranean stearn.packets that their departures from Alexandria, when they have mails to carry, shall not be preceded by any other conveyance; and further, that it is urgent that the Northern and the Paris and Lyons Rail. ways should be finished with tke utmost expedition." We quote, with much satisfaction, from the same paper, some remarks on an article which appeared in The Sun last week, because it shows that the offensive sentiments ex pressed in certain London journals, relative to the French, are not regarded by that able organ of the Liberal party as the sentiments of the English people, and that all they want is to live with us at peace on honourable terms. "We have always believed," says the Constitutionne/, "the English nation a stranger to the hostile sentiments expressed occa sionally towards France in some of the London journals, and when we have been compelled to protest against the insinua tions or against the violence of a portion of the English press, we have separated the nation from the journals of which these pretend to be the organs, and refused to admit them as the true representatives of public opinion. We are more convinced than ever that we are right in this view, and can adduce, as evidence, a certain portion of the London press itself. Whilst some continue to accuse France of wishing to conquer Morocco, and are afflicted that we have an incontestible right to make war on AIIDERRAIDLI.N, The Sun, to the moderation of which journal we have more than once rendered justice, protests against the course pursued by some of its Contemporaries, and turns into ridicule that mania for declaiming against the encroachments of the French in Morocco, the East, Greece, and the Pacific Ocean. Then referring to Chusan, it treats with severity insinuations which certain parties dare not avow, the indirect advice given to the English Government to keep possession of Chusan in spite of treaties, and thus justify the accusation made against the good faith of England. It is above all in dignant that they should make a pretended project of France an argument for compelling the Chinese to cede Chusan." The writer then quotes an extract from the article in question. We subjoin a few miscellaneous paragraphs from the papers . " M. de Lascours, it is reported, has at last accepted the ap• polntment of Minister of War, Marshal froult still remaining Pre• Went of the Council and Protector of the War Department. " We read in the Courrier de Marseille We believe we may announce positively that the Government has conceived it _ .. to be necessary to send further reinforcements to Africa, and that, instead of 12,000, it will send 20,000 men before the month at February. This leads to a supposition that our troops will not enter Morocco before the spring, and that between this and then our military operations will be confined to restraining the popula. tion of Algeria. In the meantime negotiations will be opened with the Emperor Abdenhaman, in the hope of inducing him to carry Into execution the principal clauses of the treaty of Tan glen.' " The Patrie says The explanations of M. de Marcillac, Prefect of the Dordogne, on the subject of the publication of Marshal Bugeaud's letter, have been found satisfactory, as we learn that M. de Marcillac has returned to his post.' " M. Berryer has just received an invitation from the Duke de Bordeaux to be present at the marriage of his sister, on the 10th of November."

It is not at sixty that men who have been accustomed—together with the cares of power—to the gravity of deportment which their burden insensibly generates, put off " the old man," and bathe in the fountains of renovated youthfulness, till the old , Absolutes come out young Rapids—with the wrinkles of three score and ten exchanged for the smiles and vivacity of one-and-twenty. There is no getting over the historical fact that Sir ROBERT PEEL has enjoyed a Whittington-like continuity of high place. Twice, Principal Secretary of State, once Chancellor of the Exchequer, and now First Lord of the Treasury, he must enter fully into all the reasons which prescribe that decorum of Ministerial demeanour, for which in general we have given him full credit. Giving him that credit, we have been content to overlook the half-dozen of bad jokes which he is seduced into perpetrating at that period of every session when the business is beginning to run off rapidly. The important point is that this levity should not be imported into the method of dealing with business the most vital, the most exigent that can occupy the attention of a statesman. The eustentation of the people—the obviating, as far as human foresight may hope to do so, the terrible visitation of a winter famine these duties, we take it, come within this category of all-important business. Now, the actual presence of that wasting malady which has so largely infected one of the principal sources of human sub sistence in these countries—the potato crop; and The appre hended results of that scarcity during the winter, which the diminution of employment, the declining demand natural to the season for industrial laboar ; and the enhanced price of corn consequent on a very deficient grain harvest, and the increased masses that the potato murrain will leave to be supported on other nutriment—on cereal products of som e kind—do present an aspect of affairs well calculated to awaken the most lively solicitude in every reflecting mind, even among private individuals. How much more calcu lated, then, to impress on all who are charged with the admi nistrative powers of the Government the vastness of their responsibility. All over Great Britain, in every county of Ireland, the in fliction of the same disastrous scourge is felt; the machinery needed for mitigating its severity, and remedying its conse quences, is everywhere attracting the attention and occupy ing the energies of thinking men. Landlord and tenant— men of all , parties and pursuits—without distinction—are giving their best consideration to this common object. Its expression has found no more remarkable or impressive ex ponent, that we are aware of, than the " Memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of commerce and Manufactures at Manchester," addressed to Sir ROBERT PEEL. These memo rialists set forth the fact that the prosperity of the cotton trade is identified with, or conditional upon the price of food ; and that a scarcity of provisions has " invariably been attended with a diminished demand for labour and a reduction of the earnings of the working classes." After adverting, in emphatic terms, to the fearful pressure already experienced, and the still more alarming results likely to be encountered in another month, from the cauees we have al- THE 111,7 N, LONDON, WEDNIMAY ETIMING.

The market was very dull, but prices were not lower. There was very little done in Shares, which were getting lower. A case decided in the Court of Admiralty yesterday (that of the Westminster) has been a subject of conversation in commercial circles this morning. The Learned Judge (Dr. Lushington) has, by the judgment, set aside what has been considered a settled point, that vessels going through the Torres Straits should go in pairs, and aid - one another in case of need. True it is, in this me, the vessel that aided the Westminster off the coral reef, upon which she had struck, had on board a cargo worth, as stated, .not less than 10,000/. ; but it is apprehended that that useful prac tice of vessels in company assisting, where the danger its common to both, acknowledged to be such, of reciprocating good feeling in such dangerous positions as the Torres Straits-4.he acknowledged rule and custom of vessels aiding each other in the whale fishery, so long established, except under the most extraordinary circumstances, without any claim being made for salvage service, should not be brought as against owners in the High Court of Admiralty. The West India produce market has improved much in the full expectation that the distillation from grain will be prohibited by Order in Council. Sugars are still on the ad vance to-day. The Funds are lower again to-day, and there has been a good deal of excitement and fluctuation. Consols have been down to 95%, and are now up again to 96k. For time the range has been nearly the same. Exchequer-bills have been marked 30s. to 355. premium, and India Bonds under 1,0001. 50s. premium. Bank Stock has been worth 203% to 204 1 v .

CORN EXCHAN(iE-WEDNESDAY The supply of English Wheat was only moderate, but fully equal to meet the wants of the dealers, who, from the uncertainty which appears to exist respecting the corn-laws, purchased with extreme cauti on a t about Monday's quota tions. Free foreign Wheat moved off slowly at previous rates. In corn under lock very little was doing, yet higher prices were demanded by the importers. Barley and Malt were in limited request, Oats, Beans, and Peas, sold at extreme currencies. Flour met a dull sale, yet prices were supported. English Wheat. 2,730 qrs. ARRIVALS. Barley.

THE PENINSULAR STEAMER.—The intelligence of the arrival of the Queen, steamer, at Southampton this morning, with the Peninsular mails, was received at Lloyd's this morning at eleven o'clock, by means of the electric telegraphic. DEATHS IN ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.—Mr. Bed ford last evening held three inquests at St. George's Hospital. The first was on John Evans, aged twenty•seven. The deceased left Chertsey on Sunday night, in perfect health, with a cart con taining calves. The next morning he was very ill in his cart, in the Regent circus, and died before he could be got to the hospital. As the surgeon could not state positively the cause of death, the inquiry was adjourned, In order to analyse the contents of the stomach. In the second case, that of John Trusty, aged forty. three, it appeared he worked for Mr. Forster, market gardener, of Kensington. On the 31st of October he was walking by the side of a horse and cart in the grounds, when he became giddy, and fell down, the wheel passing over his neck. The injuries were so great that he died on the lit inst. Verdict—Accidental death. The third inquest was on the body of John Quin, aged four, who lived with his mother, at 4, Eaton-court, Eaton-lane. On Wed nesday night, at eight o'slock, his mother went out and left a lu eifer on the hob. The deceased, in her absence, lighted it, and set his clothes on fire. He was so frightfully burned that he died the same night. Verdict—Accidental death. SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH FIREWORKs...--Yeater day evening, between seven and eight o'clock, a number of boys. whilst amusing themselves with some fireworks in Lincoln's-inn fields, one of them, named Chandler, the son of a bootmaker, re siding in Sheffield-street, having some squibs and small serpents in his pocket, together with several lucifers, the former by some means ignited ; the screams of the little fellow, who is about twelve years of age, were most distressing. Several persons came to his as sistance, but it was found impossible to extinguish the flames until the fireworks had expended themselves. The child was burnt in a most shocking manner on the legs and abdomen. He was immediately taken home, and now lies in a very dangerous state. Fires were lighted in two of the furnaces at Witton-park Iron-works, on Saturday last, and a third furnace will be shortly ready. The proprietors, Messrs. Bolckow and Vaughan, only commenced the works in t h e m iddle of July last, and the three furnases are expected to be in full blast about Christ mac The iron-stone is to be supplied principally from W eardale. Other furnaces are i n course o f erection at Towlay by Charles Attwood, Esq.--Newcastle Journal. During the past week several large flocks of those well-known winter visitants, the field-fare and the redwing, have been seen In various parts of England. These birds ordinarily visit us in November, and their early arrival this autumn proves that the winter must have already set in with considerable severity in Norway and Lapland. ACCIDENT IN THE FOG.—Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning the fog rapidly increased in density. About three o'clock, owing to the great darkness resulting from the fog, a serious accident occurred on the Uxbridge-road, near Shep herd's Bush, to a gentleman named Clarke, residing at No. 3, Swanseombe.place, Hammersmith, who, while returning home with two friends in a cab, put his head out of the window to direct the cabman, at which moment the cab ran upon a heap of stones at the aide of the road and upset, by which Mr. Clarke's jaw. bone was fractured in two places, and he was otherwise severely injured. He was immediately conveyed to the house of Mr. Hunter, surgeon, near the spot, who advised his speedy removal to St. George's Hospital. CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat to-day shortly after ten o'clock. BUL3IER V. ALLINSON AND OTHERS.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued some time since before his Lordship upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. The plaintiff and the defendants were partners in a colliery, and some disputes having taken place between them, the whole concern was put up for salt' ; the defendants purchased part of the property, but afterwards refused to mike geed their purchase en the ground of defective title. .. pots an application to the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, his Honour ordered the defendants to pay the purchase-money, 10,0001., into Court, and from that decision the parties ap pealed. His Lordship, after going through the facts of the case, stated bis opinion clearly to be that the order of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram was correct, and ordered the motion to be refused with costs. PARKER V. CONSTABLE. -JUDGMENT. His LORDSHIP gave judgment in thi3 case, which also came before the Court upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, lissolving an injunction. His Lordship considered the course adopted by the Vice-Chan cellor correct, and dismissed the appeal with costs. COOPER V. EUSTON. Sir F. SI3IPKINGON applied to the Court to permit this case to stand over till Monday, as the papers were extremely long and he had not had time to read them. Dir. BscruELL, who appeared on the other side, had not objection to the application, as he could easily believe, con sidering recent events, that his Learned Friend had not had time to read the papers.—(A laugh.) The case was then ordered to stand for Monday. SIDNEY v. RANGER. The arguments were then resumed in this part-heard cams and occupied the Court the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL P. THE MAYOR OF PLYMOUTH. His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this cause. He was of opinion that the agreement made in 1825 was void. The grants between the Corporation of Plymouth and the hospi tal did not, in his opinion, differ from the Act of 1805, which was complained of. The Corporation held their office as trustees under the Act of Elizabeth, and it would be contrary to their duty to allow any competition with the public inte rest; therefore they were not justified in making any aliena tion of any portion of the watercourse belonging to the Orphan Aid, except such as remained after supplying all the wants thereof. The ambiguity upon which so much stress had been laid respecting the word lake was done away by the words immediately following, which gave a perfect de scription of the portion of the river with reference to which the present proceedings was instituted. Moreover, he did not think the two corporations were capable of making the contract which has been complained of; and he was not satisfied by the evidence before him that the hospital had not received adequate consideration for the sum of 1,6001., which they had given to the trustees. He would permit any inquiry to be put to the Court. He would order the case to be entered on the books, to be mentioned on the minutes on Tuesday, the 11th instant. THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD v. LORD LOWTHER. His LonDsitip, in giving judgment in this cause, observed, that it was a matter simply between a residuary legatee and a pecuniary legatee. Under all the circumstances he had come to the resolution of dismissing the demurrer, but with out costs. The remainder of the day was occupied in the hearing of unopposed petitions. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England took pleas, demurrers, and further directions to-day, none of which call for a special report. _ (Before Vice-Chancellor WICIRA3I.) IN RE ISAWETT. Ur. ROMILLY, his reply to the defendants, wh!ch is likely to occupy most of the . day. Sir Richard Bassett, of the fir m o f Bassett, Clark and Roe, bankers, died in 1837; the banking concern was carried on some time under the same firm ; and now the defendants, who claim under the separate estate of Sir It. Bassett, are brought into Court by the surviving partners, for the debts of the concern. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. Their Lordships sat at the usual hour this morning. THE MAYOR OF EXETER V. HARVEY. It appeared by the Counsel's statement of this case that was one which Was tried at the last Devon Assizes, before Mr. Justice Erle, when a verdict was had for the plaintiff, and that it was an action brought by the Corporation of Exeter against the Messrs. Harvey, who, it was alleged had used a portion of the Exeter Canal in bringing up certain ma terials for the erection of a lunatic asylum, for the building of which they were the contractors, and for such use of the ca:ial they became liable to the payment of certain tolls under the Act by authority of which the canal had been made; but these tolls the Messrs. Harvey refused to pay. The Canal Act was passed in 1829, but a considerable portion of the works had been made before that time, having been com menced in 1825. The only question was, whether the portion of the canal that had been used by Messrs. Harvey came within the tide-way or navigable river. Rule generally granted. PROTHICRO W. JONES. This case was tried at the last assizes of Camarvon, and a verdict had for the plaintiff, damages 231. 2s. 7d., for work and labour done, &c. Counsel moved to have the verdict set aside, and for a new trial, on the grounds of misdirection and the admission of inadmissible evidence. Counsel entered into a long statement of the evidence, which involved a rather complicated state of accounts between parties who stood in the relative position to each other of landlord and tenant. Held over to consult the Learned Judge who tried the case. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY. lIILDERTON V. SELLS. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL replied at length against a motion previously made by counsel to set aside a judgment obtained in this case in the last Hilary term, and on which execution had been issued for 1981. 14s. with costs, on the ground of irregularity. The Learned Gentleman said the object of the rule was first to impeach the judgment and 'execution on the ground of irregularity ; and secondly, to set them aside on their terms. The complaint of the defendant was that a judgment being signed execution was immediately issued without any notice of taxation of cost being given to him. This, in his opinion, did not warrant the application made. The Learned Gentleman then cited a number of cases in which similar applications had been made, wherein it had been ruled that the not giving notice of taxation of costs after signing a judgment was not sufficient to warrant the the setting aside of the same on the ground of irregularity. Mr. Sergeant SIIEE replied. He contended that no answer had been made to the affidavits put in by the defendant. The judgment was not complete until notice of taxation had been given. In many instances this was the only notice given to a defendant of judgment being signed against him. In the present case, his client declared in his affidavit that he knew nothing what ever of the judgment till execution had been served against him. This he (the Learned Counsel) submitted was quite ir regular, and was a good ground why the Court should make the rule absolute. The Learned Gentlemen concluded by citing several cases in which this view of the completion of judgment was held to be the correct practice, and the neglect of which was held to be sufficient for setting aside judgment. The COURT decided that the rule be made absolute without costs, aud_that a week be given to the defendant to put in his pleas. WILMHURST V. DALY AND OTHERS. Mr. Sergeant CHAYNEL moved for a rule to set aside a verdict obtained at the last sittings in London, before Mr. Justice Erle, in which judgment had been obtained against the defendant for a breach of contract. The contract was for the construction of a steam-engine, which the defendant engaged to furnish for the steam •ship Novelty, then lying in the East India Dock, at the sum of 800/. Ihe terms of the contract were here set forth by the Learned Gentleman, which were that the engine should be delivered within two months after the agreement was made; that it should be executed according to the plans and specifications produced, the same to be approved of by a gentleman named for the purpose ; and that 400/. should be paid in cash, on delivery of the en gine at the East India Dock, and the remainder in an ap proved bill at four months. The grounds on which the verdict had been obtained were, that the engine had not been constructed in time, or delivered, according to agreement, at the East India Dock. Though the contract might not have been literally fulfilled, it had, the Learned Gentleman con tended, been so virtually, and therefore the rule ought to be allowed.—Rule refused. ROWCROFT V. HOGGINS AND ANOTHER. This was an action against the defendant, as proprietor of the Newcastle Advertiser, to recover remuneration for literary and political articles contributed by the plaintiff to that journal. The defence was, that the Messrs. Hoggins and Co. were not the proprietors at the time of Mr. Rowcroft's contributions, they having disposed of the paper to a gentleman named Lowthin. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Erle, at Guildhall (London), is the sittings after last term, and a verdict was taken for the defendants, with leave to move to enter a ver dict of 521. 10s. for the plaintiff. The point was whether, although there had been a bona fide sale to Mr. Lowthin, the defendants were cleared of their liability, inasmuch as they had entered into the required declaration at the Stamp office. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY this day moved for a rule to enter the verdict for the plaintiff. It had been shown on the trial that the declaration required had not been made, and the Learned Sergeant relied upon the express terms o f the Act. By the 6th section of the, Act, the 6th and 7th Wm. IV., •bap. 76, it is enacted that, " no person shall print or publish a newspaper until a declaration be made and delivered at the Stamp-office." And, further, that " a declaration of the same import shall be made, signed and delivered, in like manner, whenever and so often as any share, interest. or pro perty soever in any newspaper named in any such declara tion, shall be assigned, transferred, divided, or changed, by act of the parties or by operation of law." In the Bth section it is further enacted, That all such declarations shall be filed, and certified copies shall be admitted as evidence of proprietorship in all proceedings civil and criminal, and on all occasions whatsoever." —Rule nisi granted. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) CUNNINGHAM v. REDBOROUGH. This was an action of assumpsit brought on a special agree ment, which the defendant traversed by- his plea, and the case was tried before Lord Denman at the last Abingdon as sizes, when a verdict was returned for the defendant. Mr. WHEATLEY, Q.C., now moved, with the leave of the Learned Judge who tried the cause, for a rule nisi to show cause why a verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff on certain counts in the declaration. The action was brought to recover a sum of money under the following circum stances :—The plaintiff had formerly rented two houses of the defendant, but the rent becoming in arrear, the goods of the plaintiff were distrained, in Janu,ary of the present year, for 2101. Shortly afterwards the defendant entered into an agreement with the plaintiff, whereby he agreed to withdraw the distress in consideration of the latter giving up his inte rest in one of the houses, and assigning his household goods and furniture to the defendant, who, by the same agreement, undertook to pay the plaintiff on a particular day the sum of 901. On the trial, how ever, at Abingdon, the agreement was not proved, and the jury found for the defendant. It was contended, nevertheless, on the part of the plaintiff, that the verdict was erroneous to a certain extent, inasmuch as the 90/. included a sum of money which the plaintiff had paid for the defendant as the property-tax of the two houses, in respect of which the distress in question had been made. Now, by the sth and Gth Vic., c. 35, sec. 60, rule 9, it was competent for a defen dant to pay his landlord's property-tax, and deduct the amount so paid from the next accruing rent, but in the event of the tenant failing to make such a deduction, he had no remedy or means of recovering the amount. In this case, however, the plaintiff had paid the property-tax according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, but lie did not pay the subsequent rent that became due, and it was therefore distrained for. The defendant was then required to reimburse the plaintiff the property-tax, but he refused to do so, and, consequently, when the plaintiff brought his present action on the agreement before alluded to, he in eluded in his particulars of demand the sum which he had paid for the property-tax, but still the jury returned a ver dict for the defendant. The case, therefore, mood the potut of law, whether a landlord, when making a distress was bound to credit the tenant with any sum tenant might have paid for the landlord in the shaP e perty-tax. The Learned Counsel contended that he it was upon this ground that he moved the Court for 1 nisi to show cause why it should : ot be entered for ! he ? tiff on that count i n the declaration w hich 1; as forty " paid," laid out, and e x p en d e d t o, an d f or the use °I fendant.—Rule granted.

Mr. CROSBY would rather that the Vestry should , aril ' attention to particular points, on w hi c h h e s h ou ld information in his power. Mr. ROCK thought it would be prudent to abs entering fully into particulars, which might pre:l u question before the Courts. He would have no al 0 advert to them by and by, but he decidedly thought the present stage of affairs they ought to be very' in their remarks.
