The word natural was printed in italics, and the Duke construed the sentence into an imputation that he had been guilty of dr, adfut and unnatural crimes; but taking the genera! meaning and sound of the words, they were certainly tar from warranting such a con s ..uction, unless a great deal could be pre supposed. The jury would, however, have to con sidi r the meaning of the words, and if they thought such an imputation was intended to be thrown out, of course the libel would be a very aggravated one, and would entitle the plaintiff to their verdict; but should they entertain a contrary opinion, and think that aggravated species of guilt had not been proved, then the di fendant ought not to suffer for the alleged libel. His Lordship directed them, in conclusion, to take the newspaper into their bands, to read and consider the article attentively, and if they were of opinion that it did not fall within the limitation he had described, but was either a grave attack on the private character of the plaintiff, or a comment actuated by private malice and beyond what was fairly allowed, to find a verdict fir the plaintiff, with such damages as they considered he was entitled to under the circumstances ; but on the other hand, if it had not been mad, out to their satisfac tion that the writer of the article had travelled beyond those wholesome limits of criticism, then their verdict in thw case would be for the defendant.

The verdict was received with demonstrations of ap plause. The trial lasted five hours and a half, and during the whole time the court was crowded almost to suffocation. BANK OF ENGLAND.

Prussia, divided from tie Butaiestat.7, found itself in the disagreeable position of not being able to have a voice iu that arrangement. But now this positisn had been so fur improved that the settle ment both of the Hessian and Holstein questions would be finally made by the co-operation of all the German Governments together. It was decided, with regard to Holstein, that commissioners of Austria and its allies on one side, and of Prussia and its allies on the other, with equal rights and powers, should un dertake a settlement of the dispute. In Besse a corps of r.uxilinry troops has b en called in by the Elector, and had already advanced into the territory. At first Prussia opposed this occupation, out of a regard for its midtary position; but it had always been declared that Prussia had nothing to do with the internal affairs of Hesse, and would not mix itself up with them, as neither Sovereign nor people had called for its assistance. The final decision of these affairs is referred to the collective Governments. What the military relations of Prussia required had been fully obtained ; the Etappen Strsosen (military roads) remained open to it, and could at any moment be used. It was self-evident that Prussia never in tended to refuse a passage across them to the troops of the Buod. (The galleries aid part of the Cham ber hissed this passage.) Thy question of peace and war was a serious one ; he knew what the dis position of the Chamber, and.perhaps of the country ; and the Ministry would have an easier position 'if it had decided for war. He attached great importance to the judgment of the Chamber, but, on his conscience, he cound not decide for war. It could be made only on two grounds. Either we must go into the field for the protection of the Hessian Constitution, or because certain concessions are not made to us in advance. They may be gained hereaf er, but no one has the right to compel them to be made beforehand. If he was told that with out such concessions a peace would only be of short duration, he replied, could any one venture to say, if a war was once begun, where it would end ? The campaign of a Single year would cost Prussia the lives of 50,000 or 60,000 men. He knew that there were were questions in which such a consideration shocld have n weight ; but to beg,n a war for either of the two causes he bad named, the Ministers did not think advisable. There were different opinions on the present state of things He gave the Chamber full credit fur patriotism, but he begged them to consider the matter in coil blood. He knew what he owed to Prussia, and what Prussia owed to Germany. He respected the opinion of others, but he knew how to defend his own. The declaration of the Minister was rbceisq-d with every mark of dissatisfaction, THE LONDON GAZETIT. (THIS EVENING.) WAR OFFICE, DEC. 6, 1850. 10th Regiment of Disegotirs—Lieutenant Charie.!'

Allis n, the pianoforte makers c in 1845 mortgaged some leasehold property in Warduur-street, Berneri-street, Soho, and certain fixtures, to the defendant., who is a cler gyman, for 4,0001, and the plaintiff was under-tenant of a portion of thee premises to Messrs. Allison. In 1849 the di fondant brought an ejectment against Mews. Allison and the plaintiff as tenant in possession. An arrangement was, however, effected, in pursuance of which the proceedings were stayed, the cefendants agreeing to deliver up possession of the premises in June, 1849, and to Fay 50/, in discharge of all rent and costs. The money was paid, but before possession was delivered up the superior lanclord, a Mr. Gosnell, &s -trained for 65/. rent, and seized three pianofortes, said to be worth 1501., the property of Mr. Tennant, the pre sent plaintiff. On the part of the plaintiff it was con t(,ndeci that a part of the arrangement entered into was that the defendant should pay the rent duo to the su perior landlord, which the defendant denied. The at torneys fur the respective parties were called, and gave their respective accounts of chat the arrangement was. !Ifs LORDSHIP lett it to the jury to 89,y what was the arrangoment entered into, and if they found for the plaintiff they must estimate the value of the pianofortes.

The defendant, except as to 14/. 4e. 7id. paid into court, pleaded that he was not liable. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Maynard for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff is an engineer and gas fitter, and had been employed by the defendant in 1845, who is a director of a number of gas companies and act• ing manager of the London Gas Company, and also the inventor 01 a dry gas-meter called the aerometer, to ma nu'acture aerometers for him, telling him he could un dertake to supply him with orders to the extent of 3,0001. a year. The plaintiff accordingly commenced their manufacture, and for a short time was paid by the defendant. The defendant, hoe ever, told him it must not be known that he, as manager and shareholder of the London Gas Company, was supplying other companies with aerometers, and he must charge the companies to whom they were supplied. The plaintiff cundnued to manufacture these machines, and procured a large quan tity of materiAs for the purpose, when the defendant called and told him that no more were wanted. The plair•tqf then applied for pay meat of the materials and wok bes,owed on those he was manufacturing, but the defendant relused to pay, and the plaintiff was com pelled to commence the present action. For the defnce it aas cunt( nded that thP defendant had given the orders to the plaintiff a; agent only of the several companies of which he was a director. liehe jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1504 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-S 7 BEET. Mr. James Freeman, s master tunkenan and cowkeept r at Dalston. was criaiged before Mr. at the in stance of Mr. Thomas, secretary to the Society for the Preventien of Cruelty to Animals, with the following wanton brutality to a dog, the property of a gentleman named Avery, residing in Martin -street, Haggerstone. Mrs. Caroline Avery stated that while crossing the street opposite her own house on the morning of the 26th ult. to give her dog, which was a small spaniel, an airing, the d, fendant, who was accompanied by a large and powerful brown dog, passed her, and while doing so the spaniel ran towards the de teedant's dog, apparently to play with it; the instant it got nigh the defendant, he, without its doing anything 'het couto cause him effence, in the most vindictive and spiteful manner, raised his foot, and dealt it such a violent kick in the side that its haunches dropped, and it limped away upon three legs, yelling in extreme agony from the injury it had sustained. Upon raising the animal in her arms, she found that the bone of one of its thighs had been snappi d in halt, and on her husband coming out and remonstrating with the defendant upon his wanton cruelty, he said it served the dog right, as it had flown at him and torn his trousers ; but this she could positively swear was a falsehood, as she had been a wit ness to the whole occurrence, and even if a contest had ensued between the dogs it must have been to the disad vantage of hers, as the defendant's was much larger and more powerful. Mr. Charles Avery corroborated his wife's evidence, and stated that the spaniel was a remarkably quiet anu playful animal, and was so great a favourite with his family, from its good temper and inoffensive habits, that though its real value might not perhaps be more than about 205., he would not have parted with it for any re muneration; but it endured such agony from its broken thigh, which it was impossible to cure, that he was obliged to have it killed. Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence, ad dressed the magistrate on behalf of his client, stating that the epaulet had flown at and annoyed him, and that the kick he had consequently dealt it was for his own protection) and called a man named Smith, a woedcul ter, at Dalston, to confirm this statement; but his evidence was of so unsatisfactory a character, that Mr. HAMMILL expressed hi, total di:belief in it, and atter characterising the defendant's conduct as an in stance of barbarous cruelty, which was wholly without justification, said he did not consider he should be doing his duty if he did not impose upon him the full penalty of 40s. for his brutality to the dog, ta gether with 20-. more, whteh was sworn to he the value of the annual, or, in default, he must staid committed io the House of coriectiou tor fourteen days. The defendant demurred to the decision, hut, after being locked up in the cells, ultiarati ly paid the 31., an,' was thereupon liberated. LAMBETH. Mrs. Ann Scanlan, alias Taylor, alias Jacison, alias Wald, a middle-aged woman of respectable tept.earancp, who ctescritied herse4 its the widow ut a gentik man, for merly well known ii the literary world, was placed at the felon's bar before Mr. Norton for further extftnina , tion on various charges of shoplifting, when the court was crowded with her vic!im-, and pawnbrokers, anti their a-sistants with the prep, It). Gafford and another cons,able belonging to the L division of police, who have the ca-e in hand, informed the magis, rdte 'hat sinec the prisoner's last examination they haft disco% Ned upwards efs.vcmy black silk necker chiefs at different pawnbrokers, where they had bre,: pledged by the pri.oner, bat, the private marks havieg been removed, the persons from whom they had N.H. stolen were u, able to identi y them. Upwards of twenty drapers in cif.-rent prfs ut the metropolis identified the prisoner as having given them a call, and her mode of proce,diug at each shop was pr cisely the same'. She gave an order for the same description of articles, gen, rally shirts, socks, and ono black silk neck- rchicf, and in se'ecting the latter article she managed to s,crete the remaining portion ut th-, piece about her person. Three c 4 areases were selected irom among the number, and in these the evidence was taken, and the prisoner W 3, committed for trial on each. A City of - Re r deposed he was present at th. C. ti tre! Criminal Court on the 121,h of S.pt.rr her lust, when [he pribont-r was tried and convic!ed of stealing a book, The Church Service," and sentenced to one month's imorisoiant,tit. It was also stated that the prisoner had been in cus tody in the early part of the month of August last, at Marlborough street Police -court, on a cha , ge of stealing five s►lk handkerchiefs, but though the evidence wa , quite conclusive of her gu►lt, the prosecutor, on account of her representations as to her former position, &e., de clined to press the charge, and she was allowed to go about her business. The case, however, is so conclu sive, that Mr. Norton felt it to be his duty to direct the constable to have the prosecutor, Mr. Thomas Bastery, of 208, Regent-street, to be in attendance at the next examination, end the prisoner was again remanded until Thursday next. Besides this wholesale system of shop lifting, the prisoner tried her hand at begging letter writing, and among the letters found at her lodgings were the follovving:—_ "Buckingham Palace, June 25, 1847. " Mr. Anson begs to acknowledge the receipt of Mrs Seanlan's note, and to acquaint her in reply that at Mr Scanlan's death be sent 101. towards the expense of his funeral, and regrets he cannot do any more." " Osborne, July 26, 1850. " Lieutenant-Coknd Phipps has received the com mends of his Royal Highness Prince Albert to inform Mrs. Scanlan Out the very numerous applications for pecuniary aFsimance must prevent c,)mpliance with the request contained in her letter of the 24th inst."

"1 have the honour to be, Madam, " Your most obedient servant, "IL S. BEDFORD." Mr. Solomons, who attended on behalf of u e pri soner, applied for his client being admitted to bail, on the ground of ill health, but Mr. Norton refused the ap plica!ion, and said that at least for the present he could nut entertain it.

The ceremonial, prescribed by the Roman Catholic Church for the induction of an Archbishop to his see, was performed at the church of St. George's, South wark, with a rather uucommon solemnity. Consider ing the great excitement which prevails on the subject of Cardinal Wiseman'a installation, it migbt have been expected that some indications of that excitement would have been presented to our view as we approached the scene of the ceremonial. But the reverse was the tact. The precincts of the building wore the usual aspect of Sabbath tranquillity, and the exterior celm was re flected by the most stilly and decorous silence inside doors. . The sombre character of St. George's derived addi tional dimness from one of the foggiest mornings of tl , e winter season. Nor was the artificial lustre, that gorgeous accessory to the service of . the Roman Catholic Church, much resorted to in aid of the feeble light which glim mered through the Gothic windows of St. George's. For belt an hour after we occupied our seat nothing prer araiory was observable ; the organ was hushed and the choir silent; but about half-past eleven the pre parations were observable in every part of the edifier. An acolyte came in this direction with a thuriter. Another carried a crucifix to the spot where the procession was to form. A chalice was trans ferred from one altar to another by a third. At length the order for ft rming the procession was given by the tolling of a bell, and the at tendant clergy of the new "archdiocese” formed into regular order at a summons. The Cardinal himself, robed in scarlet and white, and wearing a smelt scarlet cap, proceeded from she sacristy, his flown g :rain borne by two train bearers. After a brief pause, at the extreme end of the nave of the church, the choir commenced chauntieg Halm lujah, from Beethoven's " Mount of Olives," and presently the procession was observed to move up the nave in the direction of the central altar. Fore ir,ost was borne the cross, with lighted candles on either side. Teen came the Roman Catholic clergy subject to the new Archdiocesan'a jusiseliction two by two, babited according to their respective teeks and orders. The peculi,rity of the Oratornin eesiume was striking. At length the Cardinal him self appeared, wearing a gorgeous mitre and patinae. A graceful canopy, fringed with silk and geld, was borne over his path by, as we were informed, the " convilts " exclusively. There were at least two hundred between the secular clergy and the varicus religious orders in the procession. Lastly came the Very Rev. 'Dr. Doyle, robed in the usual sacrificial c,este3ents, preceded by the: Very Rev. Dr. Cox, the Rev. Mr. Cotter, end the Rev. Mr. Daniel, as wavers of the ceremony, deacon, and sub-deacon. Having "cached the screen, which fronts the sanctuary. the Cardinal was led into a small compart ment at the left of the principal altar, calico the Chapel of the Blessed Eucharist, whence, after a brief ireerval,, the procession moved within the sanctuary, Cardinal Wiseman kneeling at the foot of the altar, and the celebrant clergy man as cending its: steps—assisted by the deacon and sub deacon. The customary form of prayer having been read, the mitre, which had been exchanged for a scarlet cap a short time before, was for mally placed upon the head of the new Archbishop, bilst the crosier, emblematic of his authority, was also placed in his bands. He was then conducted to the archiepiscopal chair, at the foot of which the whole becly;of the clergy made the usual obeisance— kissing the Cardinal's ring in recognition of his spiritual authority. The solemnities of Hie h Mass were then proceeded with ; after which the bull was public►y read, in virtue of which Car dinal Wiseman assumes the archiepiscopal jurisdic tion of Westminster. The proceedings closed with the presentation of an Address to the new "Archbishop" and an exhortation, in which he impressed upon his clergy the duties and obligations incidental to their im portant mission. The mass was Haydn's, and per tormed by the choir in the most impressive style. It remains to be added that the strictest order and decorum prevailed throughout. FRANCE. The stockjobbers who were accustomed to as semble in the Passage de l'Opera again from time to time make their appearance there, but a single sergent-de ville suffices to disperse them. The famous circle is hermetically closed. Specu lators now transact their business while walk ing up and down the Boulevard des Italiens, and on the gravel walks near the Exchange. They ac cost each other, and quietly make their arrangements for the rise or fall, and this the police cannot prevent. But that mode of doing business is nothing like what it was in the Passage, where the operations were on a a large scale. The large speculators in the coulho.e will always contrive means to do whatever amount of bu siness they may require, but the petty jobbers —such hs small rentiers, clerks, servants, porters, and such like—are cutrpletely thrown out in their operations by the recent measure of the Prefect of Police.

Prussia et,dea youred in 1849 to create for Germany a constitution that should answer its requirements. These endea ' yours had led to no result ; as early as the Bth of October last the impossibility of carrying the proposed constitution into effect was recognised; the difficulties of .uch a position might excite the weak to passion, but the strong must keep his end in ,vi, w, rind ei sider in 'A hat other Way it could be obt,,ined.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY —A patent has been re cently wanted to a physician practising in the motronolis, for a method of galvanically preventing the incrustation of steam-boilers by earthy matters, a problem which has oc cupied the atte: tion of practical and scientific men for many years. We underst and that the efficacy and economy of the plan pursued are placed beyond doubt by the trials to which the discovery has been subjected. The galvanic action in duced would seem noz only to prevent incrustation, bu! even to remove it when present. According to our information an object is thus attained of the highest importance as re gards steam power, while a new and most interesting fact is acquired for science. SPANISH GRAIN.—A vessel arrived from Cadiz has brought several cases of sweet peas as a portion of her cargo. This importation of sweet peas appears to be a somewhat remarkable one from the southern states of Europe. The quarterly statement of the Colonial income and expenditure, from July 1 to September 30, of the pre sent year, had been issued. The revenue is shown to have increased by 15,0001., whilst the expenditure has • decreasal 17,000/. The improvements in the revenue has been chiefly in the Customs receipts, stamp dues, transfer dues, land rents, and sales of Crown lands. The Customs receipts have in•• creased from 18,466/. up to 28,025. The total revenue for the quarter is 73,1981. against 58,3321. in the corresponding quarter of last year. The expenditure ha. been 65,828 against 82,490/. in the corresponding quarter of last year. The results are still more favourably shown when it is noticed that the excess of expenditure over revenue in the third quarter of 1849 was 24,1641., whilst this year there is an excess of 7,370/. in the revenue over the expenditure, being equal to 31,530/. in fzvour of the third quarter of the present year. ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE.-00 Wednes• day, as Mr. Bl e x s id ge was driving Mr. Done, cathedral or ganist, from Hallow to Worcester, in a fly, and when not far from the former place, the horse, which was a thorough. bred animal, took fright at something in the road, and set off at gi eat speed, having first kicked in the dash-board of the fly. The animal galloped along, its stalwart driver, however, managing to keep it in the middle of the road, till it came to the turnpike-gate at Henwick, at which it plunged, in the attempt to get over; but the gate, probably not being very fast, flew open, and the horse galloped down the hill at a furious rate. On arriving near the bridge it bolted towards the river, but was checked by the posts and chains, by which the traces were broken, and the horse, be coming free, fell headlong into the river, anti was di owned. Thus, by the intervention of a simple chain, the lives of two individuals were providentially saved. Mr. Bloxsidge was thrown off hi, seat against a post, and was a little bruised, but Mr. Done escaped uninjured. The fly, however, was much damaged.
