In this vote he found for the Bishop of Montreal 1,000/.; for rent of Protestant barial-ground, 201. odd; for the Rom to Catholic Bishop of Newfoundland, 300/.; for foreign missionaries of the Society of the Propaea - lion of the Gospel in Nova Scotia, 3,2021.; for the mi niseer of Prince E award's Island, 100/.; for the Roman Catholic Bishop of Quebec, 1,0001.; various sums for Presbyterian ministers, aed various similar items. He would not move the rejection of the vote, because there might be circumstances connected with particular items rendering it impossible to abrogate the aggregate amount; but he asked the Hon. Under-Secretary to make a clear staeement to the Committee, that should show how long these votes were to last, and whether there was any chance of g etting rid of them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that when the Honourable Member had esked aim a question the other night, he had explained the reasons for it being impossible to make such a general statement. With respect to the vote before the House, the arrange ment that had been made some time ago was, that the votes should be continued during the time the existing incumb-ance last d; and that when a person bolding office died, no further demand should be made. After a fey words from Mr. HUME, Mr. BRIGH r said he wished the 'tight Hon. Gentle man would state when this bargain had been made, and by whom. The conditions of such items as the rent of the Protestant burial-ground and others had not been explained, and he thought that if the Government were to institute an inquiry, they would be able to g-t rid of a great deal of tine expense. Nothing could be more scandalous to us than that we should be paying this money, or more humiliating to those who received it. Mr. AGLIONBY said ho was not goiisg to oppose the vote of 3,0621. to the foreign ministers of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel; but be should like to know what had been done with the money, aed whether the vote was likely to cease ? The reply of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER was not audible. Mr. BRIGHT would like to know if the Government themselves received proper accounts of these claims, and whether care had been taken that some of the grants had not lapsed, and that no sons or relations of the same name were receiving a dead man's allowance. Alter a few words from Mr. MACGREGOR and Lord J. MANNERS, the vote was agreed to. The next vote proposed was 14002/. 16s. for the In dian department, Canada. Mr. HUME objected to the vote, and said if the Com mittee would support him he would vote against it. Mr. COBDEN observed that the late Mr. Charles Buller—no person being inure competent to give infor mation of the truth—had more than once complained of the evil effects of this vote. Mr. MACGREGOR trusted the Government of Ca nada would put an end to these presents, but as the ar rangements had been made for making these presents this 3ear, he would not object to it. Mr. HAWES thought that those who objected to the vote were not aware of the alterations that had recently taken place; the money was given for schools. He hoped the House would nut object to the vote. Mr. BRIGH —There must be some unsatisfactory matters in the back-ground of which they were not aware, and hoped the vote would not be proposed on a future occasion. Mr. AGLIONBY observed that although it had been said that the sums were devoted to schools, that did not appear on the face of the vote, for it was put down under the head of " Presents to Indians." Mr. HUME hoped they would receive as assurance from the Government that the vote would not again be brought forward. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER quite agreed that a great deal could be said against this vote. —(Hear, hear.) He was not going to conceal it, but at the same time he did not think the House ought to ex pect him to give a promise that no vote for the purpose would be taken next year. They should remember that it was to semi-barbarous tribes those presents were given fur retiring from the hunting grounds. He pro mised, however, to make a representation to the Go vernor-General of Canada on the subject. Mr. BRIGH r asked why the people of Canada would not take this vote upon themselves? As the people of Canada were enjoying the hunting-grounds of the native Indians, they should make compensation to them. After a few words from Lord D. SMART, the vote was agreed to. Mr. BRIGHT begged to know if it was the fact that the same person was the Bishop of Montreal, at a salary of 1,000/. a year, Archdeacon of Quebec at a salary of 5001. a year, and Rector of Quebec at a salary of 400/. a year.—(Bear, hear.) Mr. HAWES said that formerly the Bishop of Mon treal had 3,0001. a year, but the present Bishop only received 1,9001. a year, which comprehended the 1,0001. a year, and 500/. and 4001. for the deanery and rectory. A sum of 290/. was voted far the charge of the Bahama isles. It was proposed that a sum of 18,0281. should be voted for the salaries of governors and lieutenant-governors of the West India islands. Mr.'HUME proposed that the vote should be post poned. With the reforms now going on they should pay their own expenses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that this was not the time for pressing too nardly on the West Indies. _ _ . Mr. BRIGHT thought it would not be difficult to economise considerably with respect to thosa islands. The islands might be so that they could have one go vernor for three or four islands. The vote was agreed to. It was propose i that a sum of 41,150 L should be voted to defray the charge of salaries, allowances, and con tingencies for the stipendiary justices in the West Indies. Mr. HUME could not understand why this vote was continued. Mr. HAWD3 thought his Hon. Friend must be aware that the vote had been annually agreed to sinco the Emancipation Act. Under those valuable officers the administration of the law was now on a satisfac tory footing, and the removal of those stipendiary magistrates would be considered a loss by the colonists. Mr. HUME said it was perfectly well known that those magistrates were appointed on the passing of emancipation, to see justice done between the newly emancipated negroes and their employers; but now every individual there was as much under the protection of the law as if he were in England.—(Hear, hear.) The vote was agreed to, the House resumed, and the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. The second reading of the Crime and Outrage Act (Ireland) Bill was postponed till Monday. The General Board of Health (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. _ _ The Incorporation of Boroughs Confirmation (No. 2) Bill was read a third timo.

His medical attendants, after trying all their skill, candidly gave their opinion that his case was hopeless. In this situation, and when expecting that every day would terminate his earthly career, a friend recommended him to try Holloway's Pills, assuring him that he knew a person who was cured by them of that complaint. He adopted the advice and found a speedy relief from taking them, and in a short time he was perfectly restored to health. —Sold by all vendors of medicines and at Professor folio. way's Establishment, 144, Strand, London.

His Honour over ruled this, and gave a certificate of the facts. GOVERNMENT SCHOOL OF DESIGN.—Last night Mr. Wornutn delivered a highly instructive and interesting lecture, iu the lecture room of the Government School of l)esign, Somerset-house, on the or namen t a l arts o f t h e eras of Pallaio, Louis XIV., and Modern Munich. The room was crowded by an attentive audience, who evinced throughout the lecture the deep iziterest they took is it, THE LITE SIR ROBERT PEEL. Last evening a meeting was held in the gardens of the Belvidere Hotel, Pentonville, of the subscribers to the monument proposed to be erected by the working men of England to the memory of the late Sir Robert Peel. In the absence of Mr. J. Home, M.P., who was to have presided on the occasion, the chair was taken by Sir Joshua %Valmsley, M.P. The meeting was com poled almost exclusively of mnhanics and working men, in very numerous assemblage, who testified by earnest and repeated bursts of feeling their admiration of the services and their regret for the loss of the late lamented statesman. The CHAIRMAN, having apologised for the absence of Mr. Hume, said that he had consented to take the place of that gentleman for the purpose of expressing his anxiety to do justice to the memory of that great de parted statesman, whom it was the desire of every Englishman to honour—numerous acts of whose life had made his name distinguished not only among English men, but among all the nations of the earth. —(Elem., hear.) Amongst tire measures brought fore and by the late Sir Robert Peel, almost all i f which deserved the approbation and gratitude of his country, there was one which more than any other merited their best acknowledgments he alluded to the repeal of the taxes on the food c-f the people. (Loud cheers.) They must think well ef this groat act—(Ap plause, and cries of " We do")—which required for its ace .mpliehment a nerve and it finitude such as few pos sessed, and which obliged the distinguished man who carried it out to tear himself from friends and associates with whom he was c inflected, and the political party with which he was united for a long series of years, and to take an adverse policy, which he saw to be absolutely necessary for the interests of the great mass of the peo ple.—(Hear, hear.) He would not dwell further on the political events of the life of Sir R. Peel, but he would congratulate them on the feeling which seemed to pervade the whole country, the desire that was manifested from north to south and from east to west of raising some testimonial to departed worth.—(Hear.) It was exceed ingly gratifying to know that this was not a movement which was confined to the friends and political supporters of the late Sir R. Peel, but that it was a great, extensive, and national movement.—(Hear.) That day it was proposed by the First Minister of the Crown to give a public monument, emanating from the House of Com mons, to the memory of the departed statesman; but that would not be the greatest memorial which the nation could bestow. The pence of the great mass of the people would form a prouder monument to his worth; and he (Sir J. Walmsley) sincerely trusted that they would send in their pence, not by hundreds, or by hundreds of thousands, but by millions, and that the result would be such as to present to other public men en induce :sent to exert themselves as that great man had done in advancing the interests of the working classes of the peop'e.--(Loud cheers.) The lion. Secretary, Mr. DOWNES, then read letters from several noblemen and gentlemen, apologising for their absence from the meeting and expressing their willingness to become patrons or subscribers to the fund. Amongst other names were those of Lord John Russell, M.P., the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Dunferm line, the Marquis of Donegal, Lord Cornwallis, Sir J. Graham, Mr. E. Gladstone, Sir J. Duke, Mr. T. Dun combo, M.P., Mr. Cubist, M.P., &c. Mr. G. THOMPSON, M.P., said he had come to the meeting without premeditation or preparation, but he felt rejoiced to find himself among those who, sinking the recollection of those odious lines of demarcation that too often separate men by name between whom there was no essential difference of principles, bad come there to pay a generous and well-deserved tribute to the memory of a devoted and exalted statesman.—(Hear, hear, and ap plause.) Within the last two days there had been laid in the tomb, by the side of his father, without pomp, without parade, ostentation, or vain glory, a man who, he hesitated not to say, had accomplished, during the brief period of bis life, as large an amount of good for the people of this country and the world as ever was effected by any man who aspired to be a benefactor of mankind.—( Applause.) On that subject there was no difference of opinion. —(Hear, hear.) To that great and good man—good because privately virtuous, and great because publicly useful—to that good man, now resting in the chambers of death, might be applied the lines of one of the best of English poets— " So sleep the good who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest! When Spring with dewy fingers cold, Returns to dress their hallowed mould, She there shall deck a sweeter sod, Than Fancy's feet have ever trod: By fairy bands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. There Honour comes a pilgrim grey, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there." There were two spectacles which to his (Mr. Thomp son's) mind were equally noble. The first was that of a man abandoning ease and those inclinations which a cultivated taste may have given him fur the purpose of devoting himself to the great object of advancing the real and permanent interests of the nation to which he belonged. We had had many such men, who had spurned ease when they might have enjoyed it, who had not used their fortunes in self-indulgence as they might have done, or revelled in those pleasures which their wealth commanded, but had consecrated their powers to the persevering endeavours to ad vance the prosperity of the people amongst whom they lived. Sir Robert Peel was a man who exhibited this noble spectacle.—(Bear, hear.) He bad tastes, refined tastes, which he did not fail to gratify, but never at the cost of neglecting his public duties. He loved retire ment and the society of those who were gifted and great like himself, but he never, through the period of forty one ye as, exhibited a propensity to gratis) , those tastes, or indulge in those enjoyments, at the sacrifice of the duties of his public station —(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Thompson) was not there as the apologist of all the - acts of Sir Robert Peel—(Hear, hear) —or for the pur pose of eulogising his conduct at every stage of his long political career; but if he committed errors, now that they %ere standing upon his ashes, and had no object to gain by his disparagement, and could not be accused of doing him injustice, let them look at the circumstances its which ho was placed.—(Hear, hear.) Granted that he erred—that he chose a wrong side of politics in his early life—that he attached himself to bad associates — that he might have done better if he had joined the Whigs in 1810—yet let them not forget what was his parentage, who were his youthful associates, what were the objects of ambition presented to him; and his natural predilections as to the means by which he could seize upon those objects of political aspiration. — (Hear.) But in proportion as they censured those errors, in the same proportion were they bound to give him credit for quitting those paths, for shaking himself loose from the trammels which confined him, and nobly re solving to be guided by no other princip'e than that of the public good.—(Loud applause.) [The Chairman here suggested to the speaker that he should avoid making allusions to party politics.] He (Mr. Thomp son) thought he was avoiding politics. He was drawing them away from questions of piny politics, and fixing their attention upon those characteristics of Sir Robert Peel which deserved the admiration of every political creed.—(Hear.) Take him for all in all, Sir Robert Peel had not left a man behind him worthy to fill his place. He was a master, not an apprentice —ho was a proficient, not a bungler.—(Applause.) Point to any one of the measures he ever introduced—like a statue of Phidias, it was perfect in itself, and any man who took up his apprentice chisel to improve it, only succeeded in marring it. He never introduced his mea sures without having fully matured them, or providing machinery to carry them out, and without enforcing them with arguments irresistibly operating in their fa vour. Unlike the measures of other statesmen, which, when laid on the table, were like carrion which obscene birds fixed on and tore to pieces, those of Sir Robert Peel were either to be received or rejected as they were —common men did not dare to call in question the wis dom which originated, or the talent which elaborated them.—(Hear, hear.) His (Mr. Thompson's) friend in the chair had alluded to that great measure of Sir Robert Peel's for the liberation of the commerce of this country from those unnatural and injurious restrictions with which it had been previously fettered. Our chil dren and our children's children have yet to learn the real worth of that measure. When the genius of history should take up her pen in after times to inscribe the names of those who have done most to unfetter industry and to take off the dead weight from the springs of en terprise, she would place near the head of that illustrious list the name of Sir Robert Peel.—(Applause.) But they must not separate that measure from the circum stances under which it was brought forward, and the sacrifices—he might almost say the sufferings— which it entailed on the great man who originated it. Sir Robert Peel, being of a reserved manner, though of courteous demeanour, was not in the habit of making known to those about him the state of his mind; but having alienated a great party—having originated feelings of almost hate, where feelings of professed friendship previously existed—having converted into open foes those who had been his warmest supporters— and having found himself excluded from office by an act which ought to have recommended him to his Queen as her best and most faithful adviser, he must have suf fered to a degree which no man can adequately con ceive but one who like himself had climbed the ladder of political favour, and who then, by some noble but unappreciated act, had been cast to the bottom, a n d found himself trampled on by men who were not worthy to loose the latchet of his shoe.--(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Tbompsom) bad said that there were two noble spectacles—one was that of a great man with distinguished talents devoting himself to the service of his country. The other noble spectacle was this—when a nation, after havin g beheld the career of a man like Sir Robert Peel, and bving participated in the advantages of his acts, came forward to raise a contribution to his name, and subscribe to a monument to his virtues.—(Applause.) He (Mr. Thompson) doubted not but that millions, hearing of what they had done that night, would be prompt to follow their example, and pour in a tribute of admiration to the public services e ;l a : el s:s p rru r hs i t vaaatiiaed Robert a great leeetil private worth meeting of Sir Robert Peel. Mr. Thom p son .ate Sir than concluded, amidst loud applause, by moving the following re so l ut i on: — r d i t e is death a nation o f t he n , g lao n i s s ds of opinion e sirthees pmtrooffer t e athepremature rpe o the afflicted Is yof the departed statesmen an expression of their sympathy and condolence in the bereavement they have sustained." The motion was seconded by Dr. DROWNLESS, and carried unttnina ouilY• The next res elution was moved by Mr . HARRIS, seconded by Mr. P. F. James, and G. unanimously " That it is t' ae opinion of this 'meetingarrte thenattonat: large, in the I emented death of Sir Robert Peel, has lost one of the firs t statesmen of the age and the man above all others wh t , at the personal sacrifice of the support and esteem o f many of his friends and associates, was nerertheleo A 4ble and wiling to carry out large manna f,r the practical good and relie of the masses in this country." _ _ Mr. ALEXANDER IWACPHAIL moved the third resolu tion, which was seconded by Mr. JOHN LAYToN : " That it is the opinion of this meeting Sir Robert Peel has left a name which will ion.. be remembered in the hearts and homes of the workinl-men of this em pire, and that his memory should be deservedly cherished by all who have to earn their daily bread by labour, as well as by those who desire the welfare and comfort of their poorer fellow-men." Tne CHAIRMAN having invited any one of the work ing classes in the meeting to speak to the resolution, A person named ALEXANDER CAMPBELL came for ward and said that the labouring classee, of which he was a member, regarded the late Sir Robert Peel as one who had endeavoured to do all the good in his power, and that upon that account they were willing to assist in raising a monument to his memory; but the speaker protested against the statement that the reduction in the price of the loaf was the salvation of the working man. He was proceeding to complain of the condition of the labouring classes, and to depreciate the effects of the repeal of the corn-laws, when he was encountered by a violent burst of disapprobation f rom t h e en irc meeting, which obliged him to sit down. 'A person who gave his name as Charles Murray, and who stated that he was a boot and shoo maker, at the West-end, end represented the views of 800 men in the satire trade, attempted to address the meeting in a similar strain to the last speaker, but could not obtain a hearing. The resolution was then put and carried, one hand only being held up against it The following resolutions were also agreed to unani mously:— " That this meeting is of opinion that, as the expenses hitherto incurred, and to be incurred, in carrying out a national work of the magnitud e propos e d will be consi derable, and as it is d , s'rlble that every penny sub scribed by the working men should, if possible, be applied to the legitimate object in view, the pecuniary aid pt the more wealthy of their country men t o the subscription now open to defray the expenses is solicited, in order that the committee may be enabled to carry out their plans in all their integrity. That the best thanks of the meeting are due to Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., Lord John Russell, M.P., Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P., Viscount llardinge, Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., and the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., for their condial assent to act as trustees for the National Subscriptions Fund for the Working Men's Monument to the late Sir Robert Peel, M.P.; and to the numerous other noblemen and gentle men who have so kindly extended their patronage and aid to the measure, but more particularly to Sir Joshua Walmsley, Bart., M.P., for his kindness in taking the chair. " That the thanks of this meeting are du*, and are hereby given, to the chairman (Mr. Yates) ! the honorary secretary (Mr. Downes), and to the committee generally, for the great exertions and pecuniary assistance by which they have brought the machinery for carrying F out this great movement into its present forward state." The meeting then separated. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Abingdon, July 11. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord CAMPBELL and - Common Juries.) BRISTOW V. HARFORD.—SEDUCTION. This was au action for the seduction of the plaintiff's danghter. Damages were laid at 40004 Plea—Not Guilty. Mr. Sergeant C. Jones (who came on a special re tainer from London), Mr. W. H. Cooke, and Mr. P. M'Mahon appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Whately, Q.C., Mr. Pigott, and Mr. Lawrence for the defendant. This case created considerable local interest, in con sequence of the rank and position of the defendant, who is a member of one of the wealthiest families in the county, and was formerly an officer in the 10th Regi ment of Foot. The plaintiff was a man in humble cir cumstances, who had been formerly a farm bailiff to several gentlemen of respectability, and who farmed about 11 acres of land, and kept a beer-house at Water Oakley, about three miles from Windsor and Maiden• head, in this county. The defendant, since he had re tired from the army, resided with his mother, who was described as a widow lady of large fortune, who kept a carriage and pair, and a large retinue of servants, at Down-place, close to the plaintiff's house. The defend ant kept a pair of hunters, and drove out generally in a dog-cart, with a groom. In 1846 he entered into a sort of partnership with the plaintiff, for the purpose of dealing in cows, calves, pigs, &c.; and this partnership continued up to last year. The plaintiff, not being able to read or write, employed his daughters to keep the accounts. Anne Bristow, a good-looking country girl, but not at all particularly handsome or attractive, examined by Mr. CooKE—Came homo from service about two years ago, and will be 23 next August. The defendant de scribed himself to her as between 30 and 40. She had to keep the accounts, her sister Maria having gone from home. The book in which the accounts were kept was marked with the initials " C. H. and H. 8., pig dealers," i 1 the defendant's handwriting, and the accounts were written partly by him, partly by her, and partly by her sister. Through settling the accounts she was brought frc quently into company witls him, and he after some months bean to pay attentions to her, and tell her that if she yielded to his wishes, he would always protect her; that she should never want money; that he had not money enough to marry her during his mother's life, but would certainly do so after her death. He at length succeeded—on the 15th of June, 1849, about nine o'clock at night, in the tap-room—when her father and mother were gone to bed, and she remained up arranging the accounts. She yielded to him on some subsequent oc casions, and soon found herself in the family way. She told him of it. He give her 3F. 63., and pressed her to take medicine to procure abortion, and offered t.) get it for her at the chemists, at Maidenhead. She refused to take it. He pressed her to do so three or four dif ferent times afterwards, and on her asking him would he not be ashamed to ask for such stuff, he replied that he would not. He once told her he had some of it in his pocket. She said she would take it, and that they had better part. He was displeased, and said they had, and never afterwards visited her. In March she was delivered of a male child. He refused to give anything towards its support. She summoned him before the magistrates at Maidenhead, who, upon hearing the case and the evi dence on both sides, male an order of affiliation upon him, and ordered him to pay 2s. 6d. a week for the child. For six weeks before her confinement, and since up to the present time, she bad been unable to attend her father's business, and as her mother was confined to her bed, he was obliged to hire another young woman, to whom he gave ss. a week and her board and lodging. Cross-examined by Mr. WHATELY—Had lived for two years with the countess of Antrim, in London, and had been before that in different places. There used to be dances at her father's house very frequently. She did not know how often. The defendant issuei the cards. They were tickets for supper and dancing. There was a dance once in two or three months. There were dances at her father's house before she knew Mr. Harford. They wed to continue till seven or eight in the morning. Young men and young women used to come and dance. They danced all sorts of dances, and generally endPd with the cushion dance. That was a dance in which every man kissed his partner, and they all kissed each other round. She did not know a man named Frank Agar. Never saw him at the dances. Never was alone with him in the cellar. Did not know the Honours of War, or Simpson's beer house, at Windsor. Never spoke to a Life Guardsman at Windsor. Did not know Mrs. Goodchild, or Charlotte Chapman, or Elisabeth or Sarah Sorrell, or Hester Turner. Re-examined—Her sister lived for twelve years at the Countess of Antrim's. Harford danced with her. She Cid not remain up all night, but went to bed, and was up in the morning and found the company there. The dances occurred two or three times a year. Charlotte Maria Randall, who was the person hired by plaintiff to attend on his daughter during her illness, and to attend to the business of his house, confirmed the last witness in some particulars as to sending her and the defendant together on two or three occasions. She always considered Anne Bristow a very well-conducted young woman, and never heard a word against her till this transaction. John Robinson, a labourer, formerly in the service of Mrs. Harford, proved the rank and position of that lady and the defendant, as before stated, and had always con sid'red Ann Bristow a modest, well-conducted young woman. Robert Stevens also spoke to her good character. To the dances they were admitted by paying a shilling at the door. All the women were respectable women of at e s th i v r e l d a a i particular thi attention to Anne Bristow, and playedhis p p a a i r d t ve a e s agnr f o a i r vse a t: s he knew. Mr. Harfordalwa . y . e supper. Mr. hotel -keeper and farmer, at Maidenhead, and Mr. Winder, a farmer, spoke to the generil respectability of the plaintiff. Richard Stevens, a brickmaker, said he had attended the dances at plaintiff's. Not more than fourteen per sons could stand in the room. The females were all re spectable girls of the village. Mrs. Harford's and Mrs. Lovegrove's servants usually came there. Prior to the inquiry before the justices at Maidenhead, defendant came to him, as he was at home working, and said, " You are just the young man I want to see. lam come about that ehild of Anne Bristow 's, and you are the young man who can clear me," and pressed him to go to his attorney's, Mr. Ward, of Windsor, and say that he had been left up all night with her and her sister, while the plaintiff and his wife were in bed; which was wholly untrue. For the purpose of getting rid of him, he said he would go. The defendant said he wanted to prove her a—, an d t h at w i tness m ust have been intimate with her. Witness never had been so, and told him so; and considered her a prudent well-conducted girl. De fendant said, if he lost the day lie would not be made to pay more than half-a-crown a week, and that would not break him; and added, " I do not know that I can do you any good, but I will if I can; but seen you de know daold 13ristow can do you no good.ith her on Sundays. Was " Had the fennt walking home from church w examined before the magistrates and stated these facts, and had not seen Mr. Harford since till to-day, kissing —all round. You Cross-examined—Had been to three At o th r e fo c u u r shh b iis a o l bn ls ud . sai a nn n ec d ses used to remain until six or seven in the morning. They utod to be short of females, for many of them went a Nay about twelve o'clock, and the men were obliged to dance with each other. Had seen Mr. flarford pull off his coat and dance the cushion dance in his shirt sleeves. He (Mr. Hayford) used sometimes to come in censurable, and give d them be a gallon good deal of fl of ale. k kissed your own partner and others. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. WILATELY, in addressing the jury for the de• fendant, said that the conduct of the defendant in lend• in;; money ebouurda notoeot and dv e b plaintiff een of insinuating himself into the favour of the daughter Anne, as she was not at home for two years afterwards, lie was in. for praiseworthy rt h c e a pirarusyrtipenol instea d de of &traded to deny altogether the truth of the conversation as to procuring abortion. The defendant had been already severely punished for laving forgotten his station and mixed with such persons. Ile was obliged to pay 2s. 6d. a week for the support of the child—he had this action brought against him, and on the death of his mother would he liable; according to the evidence given to-day, to another for breach of promise of marriage. He would prove that the plaintiff was a most profligate, a'ean doned character, and set such an example before his children that it was impossible for them to have any notions of virtue. He married a woman named Mary Wyse, in 1807. After a few years he left her, and ran off with the wife of a man named Springthorp, who lived till 1823, when, on his death, his children came to their mother, who was living with the plaintiff. Plain tiff's wife, Mary Wyse, died in 1838. The fruit of the illicit intercourse with Mrs. Springthorp was two girls and a boy. With such parents and such an example, what must be the conduct of the children? The Spring thorps had had bastard children. The girl Anne he would prove to have been a most abandoned character, long before the defendant knew her. If he should prove that the father so misconducted himself, and that this girl was a lewd character before the defendant became acq seinted with her, he was sure that the jury would not give more than a farthing damages. The marriage of the plaintiff with Mary Wyse, and his running away from her with the wife of Springthorp, and the death of Mary Wyse and Springthorp were then proved. William Wells, a servant of Mrs. Harford's, swore that ho was at a dance at the plaintiff's four years ago; that between twelve and one at night he went down to the cellar for a pot of beer, and there raw one Frank Agar with his hands up Anne Bristow's clothes. In cross-examination he said he mentioned it that night to his wife, and soon afterwards to a fellow-ser• vent, George Rackley, who was now in town. Agar was alive, and he had seen him since the meeting of the justices at Maidenhead. Charlotte Chapman, who lived in Clewer-lane, Wind sor, swore she saw Anne Bristow with a Life Guards man at Simpson's beer-house in Bescot-street in the evening, about seven or eight months ago, and asked her the next morning what made her look so ill, when she, Anne, said she had not been home all night. In cross-examination she said she never mentioned this to any one till she saw Mr. Ward (defendant's at torney), last week. Two frail sisters, of the name of Sorrell, were next ex amined, to prove that they had seen Anne Bristow with a Life Guardsman at the house of Mrs. Goodchild, in Clewer-lane, about eighteen months back. One, Sarah Eliza, said he was known as "Jem," and had left Wind sor about twelve months. That she had been spoken to by Mr. Ward prior ta the inquiry before the justices, but did not attend the inquiry, and had not said she had seen Anne with the Life Guardsman till to-day. The other, Elizabeth, said he was not known by any name that she knew of, and that she was first spoken to on the subjects fortnight ago. Hester Turner swore she had seen Anne about a twelvemonth ago once speaking with a civilian and a Life Guardsman. This was the defendant's case. Mr. Sergeant Jones, in his reply, characterised the evidence adduced to impeach the character of the young woman as rank perjury. Why were not Agar, Rackley, Mrs. Goodchild, and " Jem" called ? Clearly because they would disprove this tissue of falsehood. If the plaintiff were guilty of irregularities in his youth, was that to be a reason why his daughter might be se duced with impunity ? There was not a particle of evidence to show that he had committed any irregu larities for the last thirty years. He trusted to the good sense of the jury, and hoped that they would see the true character of the evidence offered on behalf of the defendant, and would give such a verdict as would warn him from again attempting, after he had made a poor, virtuous, innocent girl the dupe of his designing arti fices and want of faith, to blacken and blast her cha acter for ever, by the aid of lying worthless witnesses. (The conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's address was received with slight symptoms of approbation from the audience.) Lord CAMPBELL, in summing up, said the plaintiff was clearly entitled to damages, and the jury would have no difficulty in saying that they ought not to be nominal; as he had been put to expense, and obliged to hire an other person to do the work that his daughter used to do before. Another question, however, for their con sideration would be, whether the plaintiff was an honour able respectable man, and whether he brought up this girl in the ways of modesty and virtue—whether she was the victim of the artifices of the defendant, or whether the plaintiff was not a person who had led a vagabond life, and had set a bad example to his children; and whether, independently of all connexion with the defendant, she had not lost all character fur modesty and virtue? The evidence against her character came from a most suspicious source; and if the case on the part of the plaintiff had been without much suspicion, they ought not to pay much attention to that on the part of the defendant. It -was his duty to call their attention to the manner in which the plaintiff con ducted the beer-shop, and to ask them whether they thought it possible that a man who allowed such scenes as had been described there could have brought up his family virtuously and modestly. Such dances were most disgraceful and demoralising. God forbid that innocent dances on the village greens should be interfered with, they were innocent—not only innocent, but laudable amusements. But what were the dances described here —the house open all night—everybody admitted who paid 15.—and at last came the cushion-dance, where all sense of decency and propriety was thrown aside. It seemed to him that the plaintiff, by tolerating and en couraging such scenes within his house, showed that he did not care to conduct himself and his family along the paths of innocence and virtue; and that that was the very course of training which might well prepare this young woman for going to Clewer-lane, and to Simp son's and Goodchild's. The d swages were entirely in the hands of the jury, and he wished that they should, in finding their verdict, act altogether on their own judgment. The jury deliberated for about ten minutes, and re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Dam ,ges 401. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Justice PATTESON, and Mr. Justice - TALYOUXD.) Daniel Blackstalf Donovan, 33, smith, was indicted ,or the capital offence of casting and throwing Anne Donovan out of the window of a dwelling-house, thereby causing her a bodily injury dangerous to life, and with intent to murder her. I❑ other counts the prisoner was charged with cutting and wounding the prosecutrix with the like intent. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarke conducted the prosecution, by direction of the Commissioners of Police. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence that was adduced in support of it, that the prisoner and his wife, who was the prosecutrix, resided at 19, Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, and on the night of the 27th April they returned home very much intoxicated. A quarrel very soon afterwards arose between them, and the pro secutrix made use of some irritating language to the prisoner, and he attacked her in a most savage manner, and beat her with his fists, and also with a chair, which he struck her with until it broke, and he then continued beating her with one of the legs. The un fortunate woman ran to the window and called for help, and according to the evidence of one of the children the prisoner opened the window, and laid hold of her and threw her into the yard, and by the fall she received such fearful injuries that her life was for;a 1 ;long period in considerable danger, and she was at the present time suffering considerably. It appeared in the course of the case, that during the quarrel between them, the prisoner when he was requested to desist from ill-using his wife, said, that the only mercy he would show her would be to "chuck " her out of the window, and it also appeared that when he was asked to assist in taking her to the hospital, the answer he gave was, that he would not. The prisoner, in his defence, asserted that his wife threw herself out of the window, but this was distinctly negatived by the evidence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Baron ALneasoN ordered judgment of death to be recorded, and he at the same time said he would recom mend his life to be spared. but no more. Joseph Hillier and Edward Hawkes, two post letter carriers, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to charges of stealing letters containing money and other articles, the property of the Postmaster-General, were brought up for judgment, and sentenced to be transported for ten pears. Mary Shipley, 48, widow, was indicted for the man slaughter of Sidney George Laming, an infant of ten der years, by not supplying him with proper food and clothing, and also by exposing him to the inclemency of the weather. It appeared that the child in question was illegiti mate. It was born in October, and shortly afterward it was attacked with a cold, and at the time it was placed in the charge of the prisoner it was still suffeiing that cemplaint. The prisoner was to receive five shillings a week for nursing the baby, and its mother m wasu pe a wp t ao i i t :ntatbhal goodl yke witness ac n h d hw g e awat a ha l r i ongt l e t a er m c woea e rl a as cispulti required. :oi w t edxp e d a d ea was to provide clothes for it. The child soon afterwards became very much indisposed, and it seemed that some woman who lived in the same house with the prisoner had accused her of starving the child; and it was represented that she was in a great passion with them for so doing, and told them to mind their own business, and declared that the doctor who had recommended her to nurse the child had said that she might kill it, or cure it, or starve it, or do just as she pleased with it. The child died on the 14th of June; s always appeared to treat the a ud upon ascertained a but the immediate cause ,of death was inflammation of postmortem that tl3ebo e d z y a the lungs, and there was no direct evidence of any kind r tcfme food, exa mined n s ddl h de:d o nak w enisenda t o a ya nt the it as it nnh w sde u s t ffiso prisonerca pi contrary,t ern a o tv i itdacceleratedaoel sowisupport Mr. Justice PATTESON expressed an opinion that the in the indictment, and The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.______ 'SUICIDE OF DONOVAN.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) William Edward Eicke, 21, clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment for stealing a valuable security, to wit a debenture bond, valued at 2,0001, the property of the London and South-Wessern Railway Company, his m asters. . ----- Mr. E. JAMES, who appeared for the prisoner, said be had recommended him to take this course, and he now applied to the Court to postpone the sentence until next i.e3sion, a course which his Learned Friend, Mr. Bal lantine, who appeared on behalf of the company, wou!d nut opposr. Mr. BALLANTINE said he should not offer any opposi- eon to that course, which be believed would prove bent foist to all parties, and with regard to the other two in dictments against the prisoner, he should nut offer any evidence, they being part of the same offence. The prisoner vtaa then indicted for having on the itt of May feloniously forged a debenture for the payment of 2,0001., with intent to defraud the company. Mr. BALLANTINE said he should not offer eny evi dence on these indictments, as this was but an indictment in another form for the same offence. An Acquittal was then returned, and it was finally ar ranged that the prisoner should be brought up for sen tence before the judges on the first day of their sitting next session. _ Several other wholly unimportant cases were disposed of, and the Court adjourned until Monday, August 19.

It is said that an ouvrier forms a better idea of a watch, if examined as it stopped, than after any at tempt is made by shaking to give a temporary motion. On this principle, with no better qualification than impartiality, I choose the present lull to compare the Paris of 1850 with the Paris I had seen in 1825, and both with England. Persons thoroughly acquainted with foreign countries often lose sight of their own ; in fact, it would be difficult to name a book pro fessedly comparing two nations except the Paragone dell' Italia alla Francia, by Torquato Tassel, which is commended for its brevity and prodigious simplicity. Any such parallel, therefore, may be worth attention for a moment, pour la rarete du fait. Le President.—After waiting several hours in the Champs Elysees, saw the President of this Republic on horseback. No visible resemblance to the great Napoleon, which has been made a pretence for certain mauvaises plaisanteries. The Fitz-Jeromes are mar vellously like the petit corporal. His cordial recep tion of many who befriended him in adversity, though not moving in the highest society, weighs much in his favour, as also an extreme generosity to the poor. The notion here certainly is that he " would give away the coat off his back," a curious exemplifica tion of his uncle's maxim, "Pour recevoir it faut savoir dormer." His journey to Angers, with his kindness to the sufferers, was genuine, and made an. impression. " One touch of nature makes the whole world kin," The cheapness of bread as well as wine at pre sent, with a comparative plenty of money, i s a ll for him, and here is March dust enough to augur well for next harvest. The first care of Lamartine's Provi- sional Government was to make currency plentiful. Hear this, ye kings. Sir R. Peel coming into office, 1841, with a fardel of " difficulties" on his back, found Bank of England notes 17 millions, raised them before April, 1842, to 181 millions, and by February, 1843, to 21 millions; which, supposing all other things to remain unchanged, would raise hire of labour 20 per cent. But if Louis Napoleon has little externally of the Corsico• Tuscan, he has much of the graceful tact of the Beauharnais. His mother was Hortense, sister l of Eugene, daughter of the kind••hearted and far seeing Josephine, whose marriage made and whose repudiation marred the fortunes of the soldatheureux. With her his crescent waxed, and with her woes it waned. La reine Hortense left among the grisettes and femmes de chambre of France a memory full as cherished as that of Napoleon with the Old Guard. Many shrivelled arms, many little hands, were lifted in prayer for a son of la reine Hortense. Is not this Napoleon the Second ? It did not follow that his successor should be the Due de Reichstadt. Louis Napoleon is like Ali, son of the daughter of the Prophet, and Frenchmen are turning Shiites or Fatimites. About the year 1830, some verses were published by MM. Mary and Barthelemy, entitled "Le Fils de l'Homme. The poetic collaborateure imagined a second Napoleon brought home by foreigners ; and such was more or less the case, for the wisdom of our reigning family declared very early in the day—Louis .Napoleon is the man. But read the verses :—• " Car si la politique en changemens %conchs Chit derniere foes bouleversant k monde... Reveillait le tocsin des supreme* dangers,... Surtout si dans les rangs des soldats itraogers, L'homme au pit'e visage, effrayant mCeore, Parait en agitant un lambeau tricolore, Si sa voix resonnait >Z l'autre bord du Rhin, Comme dans Josaphat la trompette d'airain, La trompette puissante aux siMes annoned Susciterait les worts dans leur couche glacie- Qui salt si cette voix fertile en milk echos D'un peuple de soldats n'eveillerait les os? Si d'un Pere exile renouvelant l'histoire . . . . Le nouveau Pharamond de bras en bras porti Nentrerait pas en roi dans la grande cite? Tsls aux bruyans accords des cris et des fanfares Les princes chevelus dans les Gaules barbares Paraissaient ou milieu des Francs et des Germain• Montes sur des parois soutenus par leurs mains." Nothing can be more natural than such a belief in the re-appearance of great souls. Not to mention the avatars of Vishnu, even poor Dido predicted Hannibal— " Exoriare aliquis nostril ex oseibus ultor." Or was it merely Virgil's opinion. Roderick, lost of the Goths, was believed not to have died—so Harold, last of the Saxons. Dr. Francis Rabelais says, " Oger and Arthur were translated to the land of fairies by Morgue." A mystic barge took away Ar thur, rex quondam rexque futures. Don Sebastian, King of Portugal, who perished at Alcazar, in 1578, is to return. Tnomas of Ersildoune, called the Rhymer, is to re•appear in some convulsion. The Bedouin Arabs believe that Khizzer, the immortal, returns every 500 years. The Druses of L-banon expect Hskeem to return and rule over all. Hussein, son of Ali, chief of the Fstimites, the twelfth Imaum, is to descend as Mohdi, saviour. In fact, these predictions tend to verify themselves. The fishermen of Bou logne intended to vote for Cavaigntc, till they saw, or thought they saw, " a great N." in the heavens; and it is probable that some of the wisest in England did not despise this and other meteoric or magnetic hints. The President of this Republic knows England, which his adopted grandpnpa never did to the last. On the other hand, M. Thiers knows the currency question, and the dependence of all statistics, eco nomics, and politics, on what is ludibriou-ly called currency-school, currency -doctrine, paper-money. In 1826 a work called the " Encyclopedie Pro- gressif," commenced, but only one thin volume ap peared, because of the contributors, Guizot, Benja min Constant, J. B. Say, Broussais, and Thiera, many took high office immediately. From an article by N. Thiers in this one livraison, it appears that he desires no better than to emulate Law, called on the continent le Chevalier Lass; that Law's failure was not his own fault ; that he was disinterested and wise in the highest degree ; that, like Napoleon, he rode the French till they dropped ; that his principles and zeal originated the Scotch banking, which has redeemed that country from barbarity (Law being a Scotch man); that his errors, if any, arose from confidence in the truth ; that he was a victim of envy and folly, gnawing at his vast designs. Now, if Louis Napoleon and M. Thiers can both be content to play second fiddle, or even play in the ripieno, they may yet retriiive Europe, especially if supported by the currency school in England. La martine was sound about the currency. It was Sir R. Walpole's first attention, so he endured—Chatham knew nothing about it, so they flung him. Lord Liverpool looked at it as much as he dared. A single bad crop will make Fiance a charnel house. Nothing but communal banks, as proposed in March by the eccentric and original Mauguin— treated with scorn by some ex-Minister--can save her in that case, or, in fact, any other. England should lead. Arise, ye Few, that to a mercantile education have joined a long study of general principles and a profound conviction that legislation is worse than useless—except repeal. " Sight so deformed what heart of man can bear?" All owing to congestive bankerhood and the gold which our unrewarded industry brings home, exported by loan-dealers and lordly corn chandlere, who, when it is all gone, bring on a panic to ruin every one except the chandlers afore said and their " house-list." When a real scarcity of food coincides in point of time with one of their " fan tastic tricks before high heaven," we have 1825 in England and 11848 in Ireland. The old French revolution sprung from combined scarcity of bread and of money—bread and and blood were paraded—" Du pain ! ' was the cry. The scarcity of money at that time is demonstrated by the miserable stop-gap of assignats, seven millions sterling of which were issued in six years, on false principles and fraudulent securities. The coin, which became the only " expression of agreement," was hoarded, or exported from terror, and the labourer was de frauded of hire because there was not wherewithal to pay him. Tne Bank of France would long ago have issued notes of twenty francs and under but for the agioteurs, who pick up gold without premium, and sell it as a luxury or convenience (agio in Italian). Here is an opportunity for observing that the phanomenon in England during Napoleon's wars, farcically termed " depreciation," was nothing but an agio on gold as a " commodity" for either army. The Duke of Wellington wanted this commodity, if only to secure the best information through marshals who, except Soult, had mostly been postilions, and well knew the commodity of a pot-de-vin, as did their soubrettes and grisettes at Bayonne. Marlborough also, thanks to l'or anglais never got false informa tion. General Napier, narrating the Peninsular cam paigns of 1812 says, " These statements tor• in pieces the minister's pitiful pretext of wa nt of specie;" and Dr. Southey, " No money (gold, of course) had been had for three months He shuddered when he wrote home so often and in vain."—( G ar wood centies repetita ) , n c ow arn a o t t, P v 6 , a a n f d e w o t h s u e r P s P , Tu e s d t a S s oc L i a a m lis a ts rt a in r e e i renree had been elected by t hat p art y .

And that 100 francs' worth of denrees or vivres, livelihood, is to be valued for the nonce at ninety-eight francs. Delirant reges, plectuntur Achivi, —the many lose.
