FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS D.Y. lIERALD.—Tee enthusiasm that has marked the reception of Kossuth in this country is an indication of national feeling not lightly to be esteemed. The trium phal procesdon of the outlawed Hungarian through the streets of " the metropolis of the world," to the building where he was formally to receive the congratulations of its constituted authorities, was a scene of equal interest and instruction. Foreigners cannot understand this. In England the exile is received with the acclamations of the populace, and honoured by the municipalities of our chief cities. With this popular demonstration our Go vernment has nothing to do. The Sovereign of England has no right and no power to intercept or repress this exhibition of the feelings of her people. All the power of the Court, were it exerted for the purpose, could net prevent the municipality of the metropolitan city from honouring the man whom the ally of our Sovereign would gibbet if tie could catch him. Whatever men may think of liossuth or his cause, every Englishman ought to feel proud at this practical proof of the freedom of our insti tutions. The Austrian Cabinet complained a year ago that our Government did not execute summary punish ment upon those who insulted Haynau. They could not understand the explanation that Englishmen could only be punished by regular process of law. Were they to complain of the sympathy which this country has shown for the " rebel," they probably could as little under stand the reply that it Englishmen choose to exhibit that sympathy there is nu law and no power on earth that can prevent them. It were to mistake the nature of the popular feeling in favour of the Hungarian chief to suppose that it is merely an expression of sympathy with the cause of the Hungarians. So far, indeed, as that cause is understood, we believe the verdict of the people of England is on the side of the Magyure. But the popular feeling that has welcomed the champion of Hungarian independence has not waited to examine the provisions of charters, or determine the privileges granted by constitutions. It were an utter libel upon those manifestations to attribute to them any sympathy with the cause of revolution. It was the misfortune of the events of 1848 that they tended to confound a struggle like that of the Magyars with the revolutionary spirit which then shook the nations of Europe. With the enemies of social order the people of England have no sympathy. The very men that cheered the Magyar chieftain in our streets were the special constables of the memorable 10th of April, 1848. Feargus O'Connor could not gain even a momentary popularity by pressing to Kossuth's side. The Hungarian proved that he tho roughly understood the nature of the feeling that welcomed him when he asked the first crowd that cheered him at Southampton to testify their loyalty, and affection for the Qieen. Had he come as the cham pion of democracy or republicanism to our shores, he would have been probably as unnoticed, certainly as un honoured, as Muzzle' or Louis Blanc. The spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm that has greeted him is the voice of the English nation giving utterance to its hatred of arbitrary power. By wnatever disguises the truth may be concealed, under whatever varying forms the contest may appear, the people of this country believe that there is now an organised conspiracy to crush the liberties of Europe. Of that conspiracy Jesuits are the contrivers, bigots the instruments, and despotic Sovereigns the tools. Terrified from his brief attempt to ally the Church with the cause of democracy and revolution, the Pope has been driven back to a confederacy with tyranny. Different as are the instruments and apparently oppo site the policy, the end that is aimed at is the same. Ancient privileges, whither of kings, or churches, or peoples, are the strongest barriers against the encroach ments of the Papacy, which it is the one object of the Jesuist faction to carry out. No constitution, or sem blance of a constitution in Christendom made rocm for the absolute power of the Pope. All ancient customs protested against it—all old privileges resist it. To clear the way for the establishment of Papal despot ism all old constitutions must be broken down. The reign of Pope Pius commenced by an attempt to effect this by placing the Church at the head of a popular and revolutionary movement. The game was, fortunately for the peace of the world, weakly and feebly played. Nevertheless it was persevered in until the very exist ence of the Papal Government was perilled. That which the Jesuits failed to do by directing the rebellion of sub jects against their Kings they are now setting themselves to accomplish by controlling the treason of Kings against their subjects. They are now the advocates in every Court of Europe of reaction. They want but Govern ment uncontrolled by laws or constitutions, in which nothing can claim the authority of prescription but the power of' the Church; and this they are now essaying to effect by reducing all the Governments of Europe to pure absolutism. The abrogation of constitutions is now become the favourite amusement of the despotic Cabi nets of Europe; and, as none are given in room of those abrogated, constitutional government is no longer to exist. The people of England have instinctively per ceived the workings of that absolutist alliance which is to divide the civil and religious liberties of Christen dom between the despots of Europe and the Pope. It is their hatred of that conspiracy which has given its fervour to their welcome of Kossuth. We do not desire to detract from the sympathy that may abstractedly be felt for the cause of the Hungarian nation ; neither do we take anything from the admiration that may be en tertained personally for the Magyar chief ; but yet we do not believe that either of those sentiments would have found so universal or. so enthusiastic an expres sion, if Englishmen had not the conviction that the de sign has been formed to crush before arbitrary power whatever is left of European privilege and freedom. The shouts with which they hail the man who comes to them as the defender of the ancient Hungarian constitu tion, proclaim in truth their hatred and defiance of that absolutist re-action which wages mortal warfare against all constitutions, and the civil and religious liberty which only constitutions can protect. DAILY NE WS.—The reception given to Kossuth in our great cities and in the districts of England most replete with intelligence, wealth, and population, gives to the universal sentiment in his favour the character of a national adhesion. No man and no cause have awakened the admiring voices of so many millions. We know not when Englishmen were so unanimous. They have been tried of late years on many a domestic question, on some connected with religion, or with taxation, with reform, or cheap victuals, yet the pure and disinterested feelings evoked by the coming of Kossuth are more enthusiastic, more overpowering than either the political or material interests of the most household questions could produce is Englishmen. It is seldom that contemporaneous his tory presents in action, in events, in cause, and in cha racters, a spectacle of such noble dramatic interest as the Hungarian struggle. Shakspeate never drew a picture of greater perfidy, meanness, and tyranny than Austria displayed, or of more generosity of sentiment and noble ness of courage than Hungary evinced. In the develop ment we have seen two campaigns, the injured and me naced country gallantly resisting and defeating Austria, and then making a noble fight against Austria and Russia combined, and only succumb ing to an ascendancy, bought even then more by i gold and treachery than by manly fighting iu the open field. The great features of thi s e p ic, for it is the great epic of the age, have been placed before the popular view, with the characters who figure in it all brought out in the boldest relief. Windischgratz, the bombarder of Vienna, the slaughterer of Blum, driven ignominiously out of Hungary, and disgraced in conse quence by his Court—opposed to him the dauntless courage and cool defensive policy of Kossuth. Haynau, and his women-flogging, Sell warzenberg and his edict for the hanging of Louis Bathyani, with the tragical circumstances of that execution, the struggle round Co morn, the flight of Gorgey, and his simulated defence, toe heroic battle of Temesvar fought by the rash but in domitable Bem, and that occasion seized as a pretext by the traitor Gorgey to deliver up his soldiers to the Russian general, and his officers to the Austrian hang- Man: —all these are events that have penetrated into every English worshop and every English cottage, until, as we have said, they have become the great popular epic of our time. What vain folly is it, what puerile malignity, to strive against this great, this generous, and honest expression of national sentiment, by ex amining, as some of our journals do, with critical scalpel, into the exact shade o f political opinions pro fessed by the great chief of the Hungarian struggle, by Kossuth himself. What on earth cares the English public in its devotion, that Kossuth be a little more or a little less republican? What care they whether he has thought with Washington or with Jefferson, with Ed- ward Hyde or with Algernon Sydney? If in these days the English people have learned to be profoundly indif ferent to shades of religious difference, they have also learned to be so in respect of political theory. By a singular mistake, it is assumed that Englishmen award their praise and mete out their enthusiastic attachments according to the political opinions of their hero. And they are told what a great error they make in worship- ' ping Kossuth, and in not worshipping Louis Blanc, be cause both have despaired of the re-establishment f the royal races in their respective countries. But the poli tical theories of these men have nothing to do with the different degrees of popular appreciation which they meet in this country. The struggles in Hungary a n d the struggles in France have both been pourtrayed before the British public. It leas looked with interest and ad miration upon the one, but turned with disgust and aversion from the other. Nee d we sa y why? Need we spend words and employ arguments to show how the broad, common sense of the English public at once discerns the difference betweenthe honest struggle forth. rightful!and traditional claims of Hungary and the inexpli cable and aimless Parisian revolution of 1846? It may be, however, that our Conservatives and their organs dread this enthusiasm for Kossuth, as likely to ultra liberalise the English public; and therefore that it is but prudent to abate the fever even by the antidote of slander and sophism. We see nothing dangerous in this Kossuth enthusiasm, except the fact of the industrious and frankly thinking classes all joining it, whilst the idle and the gentle hold aloof. On this latter group of persons the Conservative press no doubt has effect. It warns them to b eware of Kossuth as a mad dog that is to infect them with some deadly poison. It beseeches themnot to be v u l gar , or Jacobin, or to a llow their na tural sentiment to Hungary to escape their lips, lest Austria might take offence, and the affairs of Europe become complicated.

THE GRAND POLISH . AND HUNGARIAN BALL AND CONCERT AT THE GUILD HALL TO-MORROW. Yesterday, in the afternoon, a meeting of the gentle men connected with the above-named undertaking was held in the Aldermen's Chamber, at the Guildhall, Deputy bit in the chair. Several Common Council men were present, and also many of the most influential merchants and traders residing within the city of London. It was announced that so intense has been the public feeling with regard to the objects advocated by the Polish Association and the friends of the Hungarian re fugees that the sale of tickets has been so great that the committee have been compelled to restrict the sale of them, so that the earlier applicants may not bo discom moded by any inconvenient pressure. The hall will preserve all the splendid fittings used on Lord Mayor's day, and the floor will this time be covered with cloth, to obviate the inconvenience of the dust arising from the chalk formerly used. To vary the attractions of the ball, a select concert will take place in the Council Chamber, and yesterday the correct list of the artistes who have promised to attend was furnished to the reporter. The vocalists will be Miss Louisa Pyne, Mrs. W. Weiss, Mdli2. Therese Wagner, Miss Amelia Edwards, Miss Hansford, Miss Pyne, and Miss Dolby; also Messrs. Harrison, Benson, and Weiss. M. Oroz will perform on the pianoforte, and M. Ramenyi on the violin. Both of the latter gentlemen are exiled Hungarian officers. Mr. Lindsay Sloper is appointed as the conductor, and Messrs. harper and Son, the celebrated trumpeters, will announce the arrival of Kossuth, upon his entrance into the hall, with a grand flourish upon their instruments. The duets, songs, ballads, serenades, and trios are most select, and bid fair to give an excellent treat to all pre sent. Mr. Frank Bodda, unfortunately, will not be able to be present, through indisposition. Mr. Carr announced that the Lord Mayor had signified his intention of being present; also Mr. Sheriff Cotterell. Mr. Sheriff Swift will also attend, if enabled, the state of his health, however, rendering his visit at present pro blematical. After the transaction of a quantity of routine business he committee adjourned at four o'clock until this day. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 11.

National Observatory, Oct. 14, 1851. Sir,—The chronometers sent in the Grinell Expedi tion, Lieut.-Commanding:E. J. Do Haven, in search of Sir John Franklin and his companions, have been re turned into the hands of Arthur Stewart, chronometer maker, New York, the agent of this office. Mr. Stewart has compared them with his regulator, and reported to me the results. The performance of three of them has boon most re markable, doing great credit to their makers. Those furnished the Advance are No. 2,131, Parkin son and Frodsham, and No. 121, Loseby. The Loseby was sent from this office May 9, 1850, with a daily gaining rate of 4 seconds and 37 hundredths of a second (4s. 37). It was returned to Mr. Stewart October 10, 1851, with a daily gaining rate of 4 seconds and 40 hundredths of a second,(4s. 40). But, according to Mr. Stewart's comparison, it has averaged during the 519 days of its absence, 4 seconds and 97 hundredths of ,second per day (4s. 97). Those furnished to the Rescue, Passed Midshipman S. P. Griffin commanding, were No. 2,110, Parkinson and Frodsham, and No. 114, Loseby. No. 2,110 wont from this office with a losing rate of 0 second 48 hundredths of a second (Os. 48); during its absence its average loss has been 0 second and 34 hun dredths (Os. 34). No. 114, Loseby, went from this office with a gaining rate of 4 seconds and 3 hundredths of a second (4s. 03) daily. Its average rate during its absence has been a gain of exactly 4 seconds (45.) per day. Loseby's chronometers are provided with a new means of compensation. The performance of his two chronometers, and of 2,110, Parkinson and Frodsham, may be considered truly remarkable. These instruments have been subjected to the severest tests to which it is possible to subject instruments of such delicate construction; yet so exquisitely wero they provided with adjustments and compensations for the very great extremes of temperature to which they have been subjected, that one of them, No. 114, Loseby, after having suffered all sorts of exposure to which such in struments are liable in a polar winter, is returned with a change in its daily rate, during a year and a half (17 months), of only three•hundredths of a second in time. Respectfully, &c., M. F. MAURY, Lieut. United States Navy. Hon. C. M. Conrad, Acting Secretary Navy. THE ARMY. By the changes consequent upon the (Brevet, the fol lowing commands and situations in thesarmy have be come vacant: — District Commands—York, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Devonport, Carmarthen, Jersey, Guernsey, Edinburgh, and Cork. Staff Situations—The Inspecting General of Cavalry, Commandant at Maidstone, Commandant at Chatham, the Deputy-Adjutant-General and Deputy-Quarter mastcr-General in Dublin, the Inspecting Field Officers of the recruiting districts of Newry, Bristol, Liverpool, and. London, three Aides-de-Camp to her Majesty. Regimental Commands—The 3d Bulls, 54th, 95th, and Cape Mounted Riflemen. The general officers commanding the troops in Ceylon and New South Wales have been promoted, but this does not as a matter of course oblige them to relinquish their present employments. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—Yesterday no tices were given by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests that they were about to form a new street from the end of Lower Sloane-street to the north end of the Chelsea Suspen sion-bridge, to afford the public a direct access to Battersea park, now in the course of formation ; and also an embank ment along the north side of the Thames, from Vauxhall bridge to Chelsea Hospital ; also, that they were about to enclose Kennington-common, and lay the same out as a park, with ornamental walks and shrubberies, for public re creation ; the toll-gate in the Clapham-road is to be done away with, and the new road from Camberwell widened and improved. In order to facilitate the carriage approaches to the new Victoria-park, Bethnal-green, a new street is forth with to be formed from the junction of Bethnal-green and Cambridge-heath roads, near the Church of St. John's, in a north - easterly direction, across Bethnal-green, to the Old Ford-road, through the Bishop's-road, to the west entrance of the park; and another from the turnpike at the meeting of the Hackney and Cambridge-heath-roads, in an easterly direction, along Prospect-place and Bishop's-road, to the west entrance of the park. The p ro pos e d temporary bridge at Westminster is abandoned, and a permanent bridge is to be constructed on the north or lower side of the existing bridge, from the penny steam-boat pier to the opposite stairs. SUICIDE OF THE PRINCIPAL COOPER AT THE LONDON DocKs.—Yesterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Crown and Anchor, Storey-street, Commercial-road, relative to the death of Mr. John Webb, aged 36, principal cooper at the London Docks, who committed suicide at his late residence, No. 3, New Norfolk -street. It appeared that for some months since the deceased was suffering from se vere nervous debility. He was attended by Dr. Allison, Stepney-green, who found him subject to many strange delusions. He prescribed for the deceased in the hopes of removing the malady, but without effect. Last Friday morning he got out of his bed while his wife was asleep. Upon her awaking she went into the adjoining room, where s he found her husband laying on the s o fa, covered with bl oo d, and a razor was tightly grasped in his right hand, with which he had cut his throat. Her screams brought a lodger and policeman K 102 to her aid. Mr. Hays, a sur geon, attended, who sewed up the wound. Dece ase d di e d ie next day. Verdict—" Temporary in-anity."

V' 4 . ti 3 A-4 1 THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, visited the building yesterday morning, and from the galleries surveyed with interest the changes that have taken place since her last inspection. Little more than a month has elapsed in the interval, yet how great has been the alteration! On the 12th of October the crystal fountain still glistened in the centre of the immense edifice, filled with every conceivable illustra tion of nature's wealth and man's ingenuity. The in dustrial systems of every civilized country in the world were there represented, and each class of product had its appropriate arrangement. Th e nave was c rowded with the chief trophies of the peaceful arts, and, wherever the eye turned, it rested upon the evidence of the world's civilization. Now all is changed, The crowds are de parted—curiosity is at an end. The vast interior has either been cleared out or is in progress of dilapidation. Mountains of packing-cases occupy the site of the chief triumphs of the Exhibition and exhibitors, hastening to be gone, " stand not upon the order of their going." The speed with which the great spec tacle was prepared is a mere joke to that with which it is broken up, and all concerned hasten to leave a scene upon which one would have fancied they would have lingered with regret. Eugland, foremost is the work of construction, has equally distanced her competitors in the rapidity of re di str ib u tion. Her divi• sion of the building is now almost empty, and a few of the larger objects alone remain t o i n di ca t e the industrial strength which she put forth. Silently, and without much apparent bustle, her contributions have been removed, the textile fabrics, the hardware, the ceramic manufactures, the display of precious metals, the animal and mineral products, nearly everything, in short, that characterized the extent of her industry, has been swept away, and even the stalls and counters where they were exhibited have been in a great measure taken down. Those who are familiar with the aspect of houses stripped of their furniture and fittings, tenantless, and resigned to the dominion of dust and charwomen, may by clubbing together all the unoccupied premises in London form some conception of the change which has come over the interior of the Crystal Palace since its close. Though the building looks more magnificent than ever, a widespread bankruptcy appears to have over whelmed its recent possessors, and over the English de partment especially the creditors seem to bemaking a clean sweep. India has gathered up her treasures from the txposed areas of the nave and transept into her central courts, and there, guarded by policemen and surrounded by barriers, Dr. Roylo and Professor Solly reconsigu the jewels of Lahore, the wonderful tissues, the furniture, the arms, the enamels, and all the other triumphs of an ancient civilization, to the safe obscurity of packing cases. Our colonial collections also disappear day by day, as if they dreaded any longer trusting themselves to the cus tody of the mother country. With a touch of reverence for the past, the process of dismantling the Mediaeval Court is carefully concealed from vulgar curiosity. Be yond this westward nearly everything is gone. The very locomotives are by this time, probably, tearing away along the iron highways of the country, and taking exer cise after their lung repose. The Coalbrook Dale dome and Roes's telescope, after bravely standing out for a season, have at length yielded to the prevailing influ ence, and hardly anything now expressos permanence and immobility except, perhaps, Seeley's fountain and the ponderous mass of the Britannia hydraulic press; we had almost forgotten—the organs still remain, and exhibitors point to them significantly as indications of a design, when the distribution of goods is at an end,. to appeal to the ear as well as to the eye of the public for the preserva tion of the Crystal Palace. Another prominent object also holds its place—Lawson's splendid collection of the vegetable productions of Scotland has not yet been touched, and would have been presented to the Commis sion had they chosen to pay for the fittings. It goes, when removed, to Kew, where it will prove a valuable acquisition. The display of minersls also holds out; but here other institutions have carried off large and important portions of the whole, and the Museum of Economic Geology has especially distinguished itself by the forays which it has made upon that part of the Ex hibition. The agricultural implement makers, with their formidable array of contributions, were among the first to depart, and of that crowded department and its evidences of an advanced system of cultivation nothing remains except a few machines, which are kept back, we suppose, for the Smithfield Cattle Show. The ma chinery, as it was the most difficult department to pre pare in time, is the most arduous to remove, but even here an almost entire clearance has been effected. To those who remember that most interesting portion of the Exhibition, the contrast now presented is great indeed. Of its many attractive objects not a vestige remains, and the rapid whirl of driving wheels and the untiring energy of steam are over. Ascending to the western galleries the work of clearance is found almost complete. Even the numerous carpets are gone that hung aloft like ban ners, and while they clothed the skeleton forms of the building revealed the bad taste of our manufacturers. Finally, on the British side are now painfully manifested the effects of six months' exposure upon the hangings and temporary fittings. Where these have not yet been removed they look faded, shabby, and worn. Turning to the eastern division of the building we find the Tuni sian, American, Swiss, and Italian goods gone. We miss especially the first named of these compartments, and its fat, good-humoured, bandy-legged attendant. Ho was in himself a feature of the Exhibition, and ;an immense at traction. Though he could not speak a word of Eng lish he was a first-rate salesman, and he disposed of so many of the flowing white bournuses with which the com partment was hung that we fully expect to see that ar ticle of Moorish costume quite the rage next season. Tho French exhibitors aro now exerting themselves energeti cally to got away, and their packing cases make quite show in the nave. The Germans aro slower in moving, and generally over the foreign division of the building there is not nearly the same approximation to a com plete clearance as on our side. But still the progress made is considerable. The hoardings that before the opening separated the different countries have been resumed. Stalls and counters have to a large extent been dis mantled. Tho carpets and tapestry are rolled up, bronzes and statues for the moat part consigned to their packing cases, the Amazon taken to pieces, and the Ba varian Lion loft almost alone to prowl amid a perfect wilderness of boxes. Her Majesty must have marvelled greatly at the change which one short month has effected; but, in the midst of many unavoidable regrets at the departed glories of the Exhibition, one source of pleasure and satisfaction remained. The building, stripped of its furniture within, and of its canvas covering with out, loses nothing in its effect upon the mind. The more thoroughly it is seen, the more surprising it becomes, and, after the last traces of the Exhibition have been removed—when the vast area of the interior is be held without obstruction—the public will begin to understand the grandeur of the edifice which it has been proposed to destroy. Amid the hurry of preparation which preceded the opening, one portion of the work so pressed upon the other that the real aspect of the building was never revealed. The period is now rapidly approaching when this will no longer be the case, when every obstruction will be removed, and the eye left to roach unrestrained over an interior unparalleled in its extent, to the remotest corners of which the full light of Heaven penetrates, and where each pillar and girder is placed in such due propo r ti on as to give for the first time the distinct conception of a new order of architecture, founded on the mechanical genius of the age, and con trolled by mathematical laws. The Queen's visit at such a moment must be regarded as significant of the interest which she feels in this wonderful structure, and of her desire for its preservation. She would hardly have come from Windsor to view the wreck of the Exhibition, the piles of packing-cases, and the confusion of departure. The sun shone brightly through tho transparent roof and walls of the building during her stay, and, notwithstand ing the disadvantages under which it laboured, the in terior looked exceedingly brilliant.— Times. THE JUDGE OF TUE LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT. PRESTON, Nov. 11.—This inquiry recommenced this morning at half-past ten. The court was crowded to inconvenience, the bench being completely filled by ma gistrates, the body of the court by well-dressed inhabi tants of Preston, and the galleries by elegantly-attired females. The Earl of Carlisle took his seat at twenty five minutes past ten, and business immediately pro ceeded. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins stated that there were a num ber of professional gentlemen from Liverpool and the neighbourhood, who were present to testify to Mr. Ram shay's general demeanour, and who wished to remain in the court, if the other side had no objection. Mr. Monk said he could not possibly interfere, after Mr. Simon, a member of their own profession , had been refused to be heard as a witness from unintentionally re maining in court. His Lordship directed all witnesses to withdraw. The Learned Sergeant applied for the notes of Mr. Ramshay'a speech at the dinner given by him in his court on his return from the last inquiry, Some delay took place in procuring the document, which was handed to Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, who then proceeded to address his Lordship on behalf of Mr. Ram shay. Ile trusted that the adjournment which had taken place would not be attributed to any want of confidence in the intrinsic merits of Mr. Ramshay's case, for he should be prepared to show that the only real:delia quents in the business which his Lordsdip was there to inquire into, were those who had signed the memorial to his Lordship, many of whom were justly subject to the greatest censure, if not to the severest punishment. He went on to denounce the conduct of the memorialists, of Mr. Whitty, and others, in criticisin g , unfairl y as he maintained, the conduct of Mr. Ramshay. Sir Robert Peel had called the press the " fourth estate;" but was that a reason why that fourth estate should domineer over the other three? Judges of the land had had their motives arraigned by this so-called fourth estate. It was tyranny the most dreadful. The Learned Sergeant then contended that the case of the memorialists had crumbled to pieces; that their object was to rob his Lord ship of the patronage of the County Court Judge, by wounding him through the sides of Mr. Ramshay. Every word of Mr. Ramshay had been perverted to jus tify the opposition of Mr. Whitty, and that thing called the Guardian Society in the town of Liverpool. He would show that Mr. Ramshay's was a model court, which the other county court judges would do well to imitate; and the only , fault which ho (the Learned Ser geant) found with Mr. Ramshay was, that instead of threatening, ho did not begin to act earlier. Upon Mr. Robertson Gladstone, Mr. Jeffery, and others, the Ser geant then poured forth a strong denunciation. What, ho asked, could be more wicked than to tell the people of Liverpool that Mr. Ramshay had expressed an un favourable opinion of them, when the remark had only been applied to knavish suitors who came beforo him? It was a marvellous accident that one of these placards should be placed at each door, both the back and front of the court, an d w h e n the Judge decided that it was a contempt they came forward and called that a morbid state of mind. He would show his Lordship that, in sending for Mr. Whitty without a warrant there was nothing contrary tg, the ,Aot of rarli(iumati and ile would show also that a great deal of the tumult and calumny now brought before his Lordship, in re gard to Mr. Raueshay's conduct, was attributable to the ad captandum speech of Sir George Stephen. Instead of admiring Mr. Whitty's tranquillity while standing before Mr. Ramshay, he (the Learned Ser geant) maintained it was the mark of a hard and cal lous heart, which was insensible to the proper feelings of humanity. He submitted to his Lordship that Mr. Whitty had not been punished at all. The Learned Sergeant then went on to denounce the Guardian So ciety, which he ironically characterised as the 2,000 re spectable people out of the 250,000 inhabitants of Liver pool, and maintained that they were the alpha and the omega in this prosecution, as it was termed, but perse cution, as he (Sergeant Wilkins) chose to denominate it. He would, however, give both Mr. Holme and Mr. Jeffery a word of advice, and that was, to look into some law library and see the meaning of the word " mainte nance." He also advised the constitution-mongers to reflect a little upon the fact that the judges in Westminster Hall were themselves the juries in deciding what was contempt, and the judges in apportioning the punish ment. In reference to the charge brought against Mr. Ramshay, that he had doubled his fist, and prompted the witness, it was proved both by Sir George Stephen and another, that the action was merely explanatory. There was no stronger proof of the effect which had been produced by the attacks made upon Mr. Ramshay, than the fact that ho was sent night after night to water his bed with his tears; he (the Learned Sergeant) was not a timid man, but he declared to God, in whose presence he then stood, that if he were asked whether he would rather meet his enemy with his musket, or be subjected to these attacks, ho would say, " Destroy me at once rather than subject me to theSe continual murders." lie would show his Lordship that Mr. Ramshay's notions of per secution were not untounded, and that he would have been unfit for his office had ho net carried out the means and method of punishment given him by the Act against those who committed contempt of his court. Why was it, he would ask, that Mr. Ramehay had been obliged to enter upon a self-laudation in his court? Why, be cause Mr. Whitty had continually misrepresented him in his paper, as being a help in the house keeper's room and a flunkey at Lord Carlisle's. It was true that Mr. Ramshay had never read Mr. Whitty's paper, but ho knew that he had never given any opinion of the people of Liverpool; and to see himself placarded was enough to disturb his equanimity. Mr. Monk had characterised Mr. Ramshay's conduct as judicial eccentricity." But was there ever such con duct pursued towards a judge as had been shown towards Mr. Ramsbay? He would presently place before his Lordship the sentiments of Mr. Justice Williams, and it was remarkable how closely Mr. Ramshay's language and conduct had squared with those sentiments. The language used by Mr. Ramshay to Mr. Whitty was merely giving him some wholesome advice, but the fine was paid for the son; he (the Learned Sergeant) was of opinion that it was a pity the Legislature had not given the judge greater powers. The first article in .Mr. Whitty's paper was the key to the whole proceedings? Who were the accusers? Not the solicitors, but the Guardian Society. In reference to the bill-sticker, the Learned Sergeant contended that the analogy held good —his bills were tumbled about, and so was Mr. Barn ' shay's character. He would address his Lordship and the Attorney-General as to the law of the case. He then referred to the case of the King v. Clement, where a fine was held to be properly inflicted on an editor, for not obeying an order delivered at his office, prohibiting the publishing of the trial of Thistlewood and Ings, wherein it was said that it was expected that all persons would attend to that admonition. The report was admitted to be fair, true, and impartial; but, though the defendant was absent from London at the time, it was held to bo a contempt of the Court. He (the Learned Counsel) then referred to the case of the King v. Watson, which was read by Mr. Ovens, and cited many other autho rities, to show that the courts have freely exercised the right of committal for contempt, or of inflict ing a heavy fine for disobedience of merely verbal orders or admonitions. In the case of Clements the fine was 5001., and Chief Justice Abbot and the whole bench concurred in its propriety. He next brought before his Lordship's notice the specific words of the Act of Par liament under which Mr. Ramshay had been appointed, maintained that he had strictly and properly applied its provisions, and vindicated the powers which had been vested in him; and who, he would ask, had a right to complain? Not Mr. Whitty, or the Guardian Society, nor the people of Liverpool; but Mr. Ramshay himself, who had from the first been made the victim of continued misrepresentation and abuse. The speech of the Learned Sergeant was still proceed in: when our report was dispatched. The number of witnesses to be brought forward is said to be consider able. There was a report very prevalent even as late as this morning that Mr. Ramshay would be advised to re sign, but the investigation is not now expected to termi nate before Friday next at the earliest. The reply upon the evidence will devolve upon Mr. Tindal Atkinson, in consequence of the expressed inability of Mr. Monk to be present after to-morrow. The excitement both in Preston and Liverpool is at the highest pitch, and the result looked for with great anxiety. Mr. Ramshay was in court to-day during the whole of the proceedings. ST. ALBAN' S BRIBERY COIII3IISSIO N. The inquiry was resumed yesterday in the Town-hall of St. Alban'e, at half- past ten o'clock. The Commissioners proceeded with the examination of the voters who were said to have received head-money at the last or previous election; and up to the hour of adjournment about 100 more of them were examined. As on Friday, most of them (including the notorious George Seeley Waggett, who has at last made his appearance), admitted without hesitation that they wore paid for their votes. The following are the more remarkable cases that were brought out in the course of the day:— James Humphreys stated that he received 51. for his vote at the last election, and two 51.'s for his vote in 1847, viz., 51. from Mr. Simpson, and another 51. from Mr. Blagge.- William Mayes, painter, admitted that he got 51. from Edwards on the 20th of December last, four days before the election, but maintained that it was fo r p a i n ti ng work which he had done at Mr. Edwards's farm in the preceding May. Witness had not previously sent in his bill, but he had accidentally seen Edwards a week before. and reminded him of it. He received the payment of 51. at Sove reign-alley, about ten o'clock at night. Ho had heard the rumours of the town about what was going on in Sovereign-alley, but he did not go there with reference to his vote at all. Ile happened to meet a Mr. Smith, who said to him, " Let us go in here and get a glass of wine with Edwards," and ho went accordingly. When he was there Edwards happened to say, "He is one of us, you know." Witness said to him, " Now, Mr. Ed wards, don't say a word about voting. We're merely come to take a glass of wine with you." Before leaving Edwards gave him the Si., which he understood was part payment of the account for painting, of which he had reminded him the preceding week. The account was Si. Bs. 6d. Ho did not give him a receipt. He afterwards presented Edwards with a bill, in which credit was given him for the 51. That account was copied from his ledger. (Witness's day-book and ledger were here pro duced and examined by the Commissioners, who found them in perfect accordance with the witness's statement.) The reason why he had never asked Edwards for the balance of Bs. 6d. was that he had a subsequent account against him, and ho expected that the two would be paid together. T. Moore, furniture broker, received 8/. from Edwards at last election, bat not for his vote. He was engaged in looking after voters and waiting on the committee day and night. He believed, however, that if ho had not had a vote he would not have been employed. George Seeley Waggett was then called, and took his place in the witness-box amidst shouts of laughter. Mr. Slade—Did you vote at the last election, Mr. Waggett 7 Witness—l did. Mr. Slade—Did you receive money for your vote ? Witness—l did. Mr. Slade—From whom did you receive it ? Wit ness—From Mr. Edwards. Mr. Slade—How much did you receive? Witness-51. Mr. Slade—Did you vote at the election of 1847 ? Witness—l did. Mr. Slade—For whom ? Witness—For Mr. Raphael, and, I think, Mr. Repton, but I am not certain. Mr. Slade—Did you receive any money for your vote? Witness—l did. Mr. Slade—From whom ? Witness—From Mr. Edwards. Mr. Slade—How much ? Witness-51. Mr. Forsyth—l hope your health is improved by the mild climate of France, Mr. Waggett ?—(Laughter.) Witness—l am very much obliged to you, Sir.—(Re newed laughter.) Mr. Plain (at the suggestion of Mr. Gresham) asked whether 5/, was all ho received for his vote at last election. Mr. Waggett said it was. Mr. Gresham—Or for anything else? The Commissioners refused to put that question, as not coming within the scope of their inquiry. [ Waggett is a short, thin, pale-faced man, about 60 years of age, in apparently infirm health.] John White, boot and shoe maker, received 5/. from Mr. Edwards at last electi on , but only for his services, and not for his vote. If he had not had a farthing from Edwards he would still have voted for Mr. Bell. Witness and his father had supported the Liberal in terest for 60 years. He received 101. from Mr. Vass in 1847 for his services on behalf of Mr. Craven. He voted on that occasion " for those honourable gentlemen Mr. Craven and Mr. Wilke." lie received nuthing for his services to Mr. Wilke. Mr. Forsyth—Does the fact of your having had two votes to 'give in 1847 account for your receiving 101. then? Witness said that the', canvass lasted longer in 1847 than in 1850. He could not say that the two votes had anything to do with it. Mr. Forsyth—Then you don't wont a certificate? Witness said he thought he deserved one. Mr. Forsyth—lf you were not guilty of bribery you do not need one. Witness said ho did not quite under stand what the certificate meant. Mr. Forsyth—lf you admit you have been guilty of bribery we will give you a certificate freeing you from the consequences_of it, otherwise you might be prose cuted for it. Now, either you have been guilty of bribery, and have now denied it, and therefore do not deserve a certificate, or you were not guilty of b rib ery, and and do not need one. merely bow e d an d retired. The witness, in reply, Robert Clarke, surgeon, admitted that he received Si. at the last election for his vote, and that he was also paid for his vote in 1847. Mr. Webster, surgeon, was here recalled, and re minded of the s t a t ement he had made in his previous examination, that, among the medical men who had at tended his patients while he was engaged in the canvass for Sir R. Carden, and whose accounts he had paid, were Dr. Hastings and Mr. Hutchison. He* was then asked if he was sure Dr. Hastings was one? He said ho was not quite sure. lie thought he bad given riltgoY t 9 • • e 114 1 s) .; 0.1 I Payne, a blacksmith, to pay to Dr. Hastings for attend ing him. H e a l so gave e s . t o a nother patient, named King, to pay Mr. Hutchison. Ho could not mention any other cases in which ho had paid money, though he had previously s t a t e d t h at h e mus t hare paid between •./. and 101. i n that way. Ile could not show any entries inhisda- sti bo d o i kr n e e s t p l e y in et a i s n k gp g n ayments of this kind. Ho remembered Dr. Hastings to attend to his patients during th e e l ect i on. Dr. Hastings was her e ca ll e d an d sworn —He had oc casionally attended patients for Mr. Webster, but not often, and he h a d no recollection whatever of any ap plication onthe part of M r . W ebster to atten d to hi s pa tients during his a b sence at last election. He had never received a farthing for att en di ng any Mr. Webster's patients, either from Mr. Webster or the patients them selves. Witness had attendedho Payne,l%,ascailethdeinblba;krsmayitnhe, but not for Mr. W e b ster. himself after he had given up Mr. Webster. J. King, the . patient r e f erre d to, was here called. He stated that.er. Webster was t h e medical attendant of a club to which ho belonged; that he was ill all the time of Mr. Bell's canvass, an d M r. Webster ought to have attended him, but neglected him.. He was, therefore, at tended by Mr. Hutchiso n . Il e paid Mr.'llutchison'ese and was repaid by Mr. Webster. William Hill got; 5/. from Edwards to vote for Mr Bell at last election, bat did not. He voted fo r Sir R. Carden, but got nothing f or so vot i ng. He could not ' explaia why he voted for Sir R. Carden after having re ceived 51. to vote for Mr. Bell. H o did not return the money to Edwards. S. Harcourt, millwright, received Si. f iep m Edwards at the time of last election, but not fur his vote. It was in part payment of an old account for work done for Ed wards. He received nothing for his vote in 1847. Mr. Edwards, on being examined on this point, stated that the SI. he gave to Harcourt had nu reference whatever to the account referred to. It was simply for his vote., He also gave Harcourt 6/. or 71. for his vote in 1847. Harcourt insisted that the money he received in 1850 was not for his vote, and that he did not receive a farthing from Edwards in 1847. The Commissioners took some pains to try and reconcile these contradictory statements, but in vain. Each party stuck to his original statement. Joseph Richards, saddler, received 71. for his vote at last election. His son had since received a place in the Excise, but witness had nothing to do with .that. His son had no vote. The place was asked for him by Mr. John Kinder, of that town. Witness was also paid for his vote in 1847. Thomas Rulfit received .5/. from Edwards at last election, but it was by way of a present, and not for his vote. He never promised him his vote. He should have voted for Mr. Bell whether he had received money or not. On being severely questioned by the Commis sioners, as to whether he did or did not actually receive the money as a bribe, ho at length reluctantly admitted that it might be so considered. Thomas Birchmore (one of Seeley Waggett's com panions at Boulogne) admitted that he also received 51. from Edwards for his vote at last election. Mr. Forsyth—l believe you were abroad lately, Birchmore? Witness—Not very lately, Sir. Mr. Forsyth—l hope you have returned better? Witness—Yes, Sir.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Phin—You've learned French, I dare say ?—(Con tinued laughter.) W. Smith, carpenter, acted with Mr. Edwards on behalf of Mr. Bell during the earlier period of last election, and received from him 411. to pay the band, &c. Finding, however, on looking over his books, that he had better friends (customers) on Sir Robert Car den's side than on Mr. Bell's, he went over to Sir R. Carden. During the canvass he received a notice from his landlord to quit the premises he occupied. He could not say that that notice had any connexion with the election, but it might have had. Ile would not swear that he did not think it bad. The notice was served by the clerk of Mr. Low, Sir R. Carden's agent. His landlord did ask him for his vote, and he promised him. That, however, was after he had loft Mr. Edwards. He had not left the premises. The landlord and he were now good friends. Mr. Low begged to be allowed to say, that ho had re ceived instructions to serve the notice upon Smith before Sir R. Carden was in the field. James Skeggs (another of the missing witnesses) stated that he received 51. for his vote at last election, and was also paid for his vote in 1847. Mr. Phin—You've been to France, too, lately, Skeggs? —(Laughter.) The witness (an old man), who is ex ceedingly hard of hearing, made no reply. Peter Wood, clerk to Mr. Searanke, received 5/. from Edwards at the last election, but not for his vote. It was for acting as clerk to Edwards. Witness would be twenty-one years of age next June. He was aware he was not entitled to vote at last election. His name, however, was on the register, and had been placed there with his knowledge and consent. It had not been objected to before the revising -barrister. Mr. Harris stated, in reply to the Commissioners, that he could not produce a complete list of tho persons to whom he had paid head-money on behalf of Mr. Wilks at the election in 1837. Mr. Wilks had the list. Mr. Vass produced a list of those to whom he had paid money. The list was read. It contained between twenty and thirty names. Several voters whose names were called not having appeared, Mr. Phin stated, that as the inquiry would probably terminate to-morrow, he wished it to be known that those who had been summoned, and who did not then come forward, would be exposed to serious consequences. The inquiry was then adjourned till next day. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. This useful society met on Monday night at their rooms, 21, Regent-street, for the first time since the close of the long vacation. The meeting was nume rously attended. Mr. Commissioner Pane was in the chair ; and among the members present we noticed Mr. Koe, Q C., Mr. James Stewart, Mr. Lowe; Mr. Pitt Taylor, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Carpenter Rowe, Q C., Mr. Vansittart Neale, Mr. Trower, Mr. Macqueen, Mr. Power, Mr. Gaussen, &c. The following gentlemen were balloted for and elected :—Mr. James Hannen, barrister; Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. ; Mr. 11. P. Roche, barrister; Baron de Rothschild ; Lord Murray, Lord of Session, Scotland ; Mr. C. Colvin, judge of the Sudder Adawlut, Bengal ; Lord Ashburton ; Mr. R. M. Kerr, barrister ; Mr. Edward Walker, clerk to the County Court, Dolgelly ; Mr. C. P. Tagart, solicitor ; Mr. Jas. Stephen, barrister; Mr. Edward H. J. Craw furd, barrister; Mr. Samuel Boteler Bristowe, bar rister ; Mr. Arthur Sparling, Mr. Sheriff Barclay, sheriff substitute of Perth ; Mr. Robert Wallace, Mr. Thomas Bell, Mr. William Henderson, barrister. Mr. JAMES STEWART read a report from a com mittee of the society to whomit had been referred " to consider in what respects the law of England and Scotland can be advantageously assimilated, and to report as to the best means by which that desirable object can be attained." The course of proceeding suggested by that report was to form branch Law Amendment societies in Scotland, which should co operate with the London Society ; and it is stated that associations with this view had already been established at Glasgow and Aberdeen, and that similar societies were in the course of forma tion in Edinburgh, Dundee, and Perth. Mr. Stuart also laid on the table two reports upon the amendment and assimilation of the laws of England and Scotland, which had been issued by the societies of Glasgow and Aberdeen.: These reports having been received, Mr. PITT TAYLOR moved that it be referred to a committee of the society "to consider the present re lations between the Bar, the Attorneys, and the Client, and to report whether any and what alterations can be made therein with advantage to the public agreed to; and certain members named with power to add to their number. Mr. STEWART next read a paper on what is tech nically called the " Judge Master Question," and the object of which was to show that the business of the Courts of Equity would be greatly facilitated by an enactment that should compel the Judges to work out their own decrees without the intervention of the Masters in Chancery. The paper referred to valuable evidence on this subject which was given before a Committee of the Lords of last session by the Master of the Rolls and V ice-Chancellor Turner, and it ended with certain resolutions in favour of the pro posed reform. _ - These gave rise to an animated discussion, in which Mr. Neale, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Commissioner Pane, Mr. Taylor, and several other gentlemen took part, and it was ultimately arranged that the paper should be re ferred to the Equity Committee, with di rect i ons to that body to report on the subject at as early a period as possible, it being a matter of very gr ea t i mportance The other formal proceedings were then disposed of and the meeting separated. THE EGYPTIAN RAILWAY. The Augsburgh Gazette of the 6th inst. publishes the following telegraph dispatch, which was delayed by an accident to the wires : " ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 22.—A dispatch from the Porte allows the construction of the railway, and makes the con cess i on w i th regard to the Tanzimat." TUE KING OF HANOVER.—The last accounts from llanover come down to the 7th inst. They state that the King had passed an agitated night, and had not recovered any strength. Th e general impression was that his life was near its close. iii s Majesty had signed his will a few days previously. THE LATE LORD MAYOR'S DAY.—Perhaps the most pleasing feature r‘ n i n a ec o tel or W i lll e the recent celebration of the election of Lord city of London, for the ensuing year, was the entertainment, yr by order of his Lord ship, of the children belonging to the ward school of Cole man-street, of which his Lordship has long been president and a most liberal patron. The best old English fare (supplied in good style by Mr. Morrish, of Bell-alley, in the ward), was given to the children, 89 in number, one being absent through sickness. Having enjoyed their plum pudding and roast beef, each of the children was presented by Mr. Perkins, one of the leading Common Council of t a he e 7a w rd h , ich by th o o yrdbeorosf and the girls Lord Mayor, with a new shilling; ft present sang the " N a ti o nal Anthem," and the n i o e interesting e O s t t i h n e g r procee di n gs closed. We understood that this excellent ex ample has been followed by several of the most influential i n h a bitants of the ward of Farring-within, G and of United , Floyda ited, w ards within the city of London. load W. for New S OU THAMPTON, TUESDAY, oini Br em en n tNorOera Nov. ll .--The S ar t r a i t v e e s d m h a e i 1 r e s i t e h a i m s - m sh o i r p nin W g as f l r i g York, for which port she will take h 15th hatitaiat er deParture on the LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, .Nov. 11. POPE V. POPE. This was a special cas e t o ta k e t h e opinion of the Court upon the construction of t h e w ill of Mr. Field, de ceased, a veterinary surgeon in Oxford-stre e t, d a t e d 3 0t h July, 1833. The testator bequeathed to his daughter Mary, in trut, 10,0001. Consols, for the joint life of her , self and any husband that she should marry, and for that of the survivor ; and then upon their decease to such of her issue as should be living at the time of the decease of either. The will contained a provision that if the issue of his daughter died during the life-time of herself or husband and leaving issue, the issue of such of the issue of his said daughter so dying should stand in the place of his, her, or their parent, as to the share to which such parent should be entitled. The testator's daughter married Mr. John Gould; she dying left a daughter Mary, who married a Mr. Pope, of which marriage there were two children, John Goould Poo ) and Ernest Pope. The question arose whether Mary Pope, the mother, should be entitled to take the whole fund, or the two sons two thirds between them. The decision depended on the interpretation to be put here upon the word " issue." Mr. it)upcll was heard for the plaintiffs; Mr. R. Palmer for the defendants. The MASTER of the ROLLS said it was clear the tes tator bad used the term issue as meaning child. Th© word issue in its ordinary tense meant descendants, but the testator in this case used the term " the issue of such issue ;" and, therefore, the word issue restricted its meaning to children. His Honour decided that on the death of Miry Gould Mrs. Pope, her daughter, became abs,lutely entitled to the whole fund.—The judgment was entered ar•cordingly. PREROGATIVE COURT, NOV: 11. (Before Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST.) WILLIAAIS V. WARD AND LAIDLEY INTERVENING. In this suit it is sought to prove the last will and tes tament of John Watson, Esq., late of Belmont, near Maidenhead, and of Old Cavendish-street, dated the 25th of January last year. Mr. T. M. Williams, one of the executors thereof, proceeds against Mr. Ward, an exe cutor under a former will. On the part of Mr. Ward it was pleaded that deceased died on the 25th or 26th of n he d nieces wn of sister, Watson, hi his his l a w h f r u u l t brother, he a t and January, 1850, a b ac h elor, aged 65, and leaving Robert of an intestacy, wou ld b e entitled in distribution. That at his decea s e, a nd f or many years before, he had been in thedee deceased the head partner of a mercantile firm in Bengal, the im portations from which, cons i st i ng of silk, indigo, rum, and sugar, amounted to upwards of 100,0001 per annum. That Mr. Ward, the party to the present suit, was em ployed by the deceased in 1638, as his lei 1 . • so ter and continued 80 until his d ea th. I t pleaded that the ' de ceased executed a will in the year 1839, and in the early part of 1644, being desirous o f ma ki ng some alterations in the disposition of his estate and effects, gave instruc tions for a new will, which he was anxious should not interfere with his agents in the management of the partnership affairs, and which be signed on the 19th of April in that year. That Mr. Watson, by such will, devised all his real and personal :estate in E ng . land and Bengal to trustees, to carry on his business until the co-partnership expired, and in addition to certain annuities, bequeathed pecuniary legacies amount ing to 85,000/. He gave 20,000/. to his trustees to pay such parts of the dividends thereof as they thought prop jr for the maintenance and education of Miss Watsone;ae i illegitimate daughter, during her minority, and o n her attaining 21, to transfer to her the principal thereof; and he bequeathed to the wife of Mr. Williams a life annuity of 200/. It pleaded that, on the 25th January, 1850, the deceased being very ill, Mr. Williams, the party in the cause, called on Mr. Dimond. a solicitor, and requested him to call on Mr. Watson, for the pur pose of making his will, informing that gentleman that he had made no will, and wished to make a provision for his natural daughter; and in reply to a question from Mr. Dimond, said that the deceased had no solicitor of his own. That at the time instructions were given for the will, and also when it was executed, the deceased appeared to be in a dying state, that his mental faculties were impaired, and that he was incapable of understand ing the contents of the instrument, and the effect it would have upon his estate its India, or upon the capital embarked in his business in that country, and especially with respect to the winding up of his partnership affairs. That at the time the will now propounded was executed the will of 1844 was in an unoancelled state, and was found in a box, which be kept in his room. That the daughter to whom 20,000/. was bequeathed by the will of 1844, was the same party to whom the annuity of 200/. was given by the latter will; and that Mr. Abbott, one of the executors named therein had had no previous acquaintance with Mr. Watson, but was a friend of Mr. Williams, and was on terms of intimacy with him. On behalf of Mr. Williams, the responsive allegation pleaded, that the deceased sustained serious losses sub. sequently to the execution of the will of 1844. That the mercantile firm in which he was head partner re quired advances amounting to 290,0004, and that the deceased's affairs consequently were in a very involved and embarrassed condition, and his estate was not more than sufficient to meet the several liabilities thereon. That the deceased frequently :complained, during the latter years of his life, of the embarrassed condition of his affairs, and said he should be a ruined man; and during the last year of his life expressed a great anxiety lest his natural daughter, for whom he had always en tertained much affection, should be left wholly or nearly unprovided for. That, shortly before his decease, he wrote to Sir G. M. Anderson, Governor of Ceylon, ex pressing a hope that, under all the circumstances stated in the letter, he would allow Miss Watson 300/. per annum. He wrote also to his brother in India, asking him to protect her. That the deceased, towards the latter part of his life, had greatly diminished his confi dence in Mr. Ward, and had determined on executing a new will. That, on the 24th of January, 1850, he sent Mr. Williams, with whom he was on terms of great friendship, and who had charge of Miss Watson, to his house at Belmont, to fetch certain boxes of papers, with the view of making the will now propounded. That, on the following morning, being warned by his medical attendant of the necessity of settling his affairs, he, on the return of Mr. Williams, requested that gentleman to fill up a will paper. This Mr. Williams declined to do so, and pro posed to send for Mr. Ward or Mr. Laidley, which proposition was negatived by the deceased, who told him to call in any professional man ho liked. On asking him whom ho wished to appoint executors, he replied that he could place confidence in Mr. Williams, and would appoint him. That on Mr. Williams suggesting various parties to be associated with him, the testator replied, " No, name any one you like." Captain Abbott was named, and immediately approved of by the de ceased. It pleaded also that Mr. Williams, in accordance with the desire expressed by Mr. Watson that he should call in a solicitor to prepare his will, waited on Mr. Dimond, with whom he was not previously acquainted, but did not inform him either that the deceased had no professional adviser of his own, or that he had made no will. On the contrary, ho mentioned that the deceased did not wish to call in his own solicitor. That on the day of the testator's funeral the will of 1844 was discovered in a box containing old account books and loose papers, with the envelope ure sealsd, and was not in the room in which he died. Tara his usual manner of speaking was very quiet, slow, and gentle, which was increased by his illneas; but that his faculties were not in the least impaired or debilitated at the time he executed his last will. It pleaded is conclusion that he was advised by his medi cal attendant to settle his affairs, and was at the time perfectly capable of understanding the effect which his will would have upon his estate and partnership. Dr. HARDING appeared for Mr. Williams, and con tended that the capacity of the testator was most clearly. proved; and the only difficulty, if any, which appeared in the case was Mr. Dimond seeming to doubt now about an net in which ho took an active part at the time. The features of the will propounded appearing somewhat sin gular, and at variance with previous dispositions, might be attributed to the changes which had occurred in, his circumstances, and from the securing 2001. per annum, being the suggestion, not of deceased, but of Mr. Di mond, whose views of the legal machinery to carry his intentions into effect were adopted by the deceased, lie submitted that the Court would feel bound to pronounce for the capacity of the deceased and the will of 1850. Mr. DEANE followed on the same side. Mr. Robinson appeared for Mr. Laidley, a nephew of the deceased, and supported the will. Dr. JENNER, on behalf of Mr. Ward, said he did not contended tend to rest his case either on i nsan i ty or del that, owing to the testators 'delusion, but weakness of mind he must have been effected thereby, and this was borne out by medical testimony. It seemed the testator, as well as M r . Willi ams, was ignorant of anyformer will, although the one of 1844 was in the . room when the later one was si gne d . Without imputing any wrong in tention to Mr. Williams, l whose motives might have bees very good, that gentleman had acted in ignorance of what had been formerly, and Mr. Dimond had taken for granted all that Mr. Williams had told him; w hereas all difficulty would have been removed had the testator been questioned about the former will, and the state of his affairs. The testimony of Mr. Dimond s howedo nr Wat t have that if ho had k nown the state of the case he woul v allowed the latt e r w ill t o have been made b d M t i e case , t h e Wat son. Th ere b e i ng a d e fi c it probatio in Learned Ad v o ca t e submitted that the Court must pro nounce for the will in dispute.: Dr. R. Phillimore appeared on the same side. Drs. Harding and Robinson replied. Judgment deferred.
