After the masterly and triumphant vindication of his foreign policy by Lord PALMERSTON, it is scarcely rprising to observe the preparations making for his 3 , 4;c tion this evening in the neigbbourhoood of the Rouses at W6stminster. Th 2 F•ympathy entertained foilifiToreign Secretary by the people of' England is - - iiether too earnest to admit of its suppression occasion of so much impurtance to his • cal character. Added to which the insolent personali ties showered upon that illustrious diplomatist and statesman would of themselves be sufficient to extort from the multitude a strong and . ener getic counter-manifestation. Hence it is far from being any matter of surprise to us that upon the eve of the division about to take place upon the motion of the Honourable and Learned Gentle man the representative of Sheffield, the public should betray an anxiety to demonstrate the fulness of their admiration for the patriotic Minister at the head of the Foreign Department of the Government. Everything throughout the recent debates, in the Peers upon Lord STANLEY'S motion, and in the Commons upon Mr. ROEBUCK'S —everything through out these discussions relating to the attacks upon the Foreign Secretary has tended to evidence the pitiful spite and rancour of the as sailants of the Noble Viscount, and to corroborate the assertion of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, that a dis graceful conspiracy has been formed to oust her MA JESTY'S Government. Several considerations combine to impress this fact indelibly upon the general con viction. The mere circumstance of an alliance suddenly being effected between parties in the Legislature who cordially hate each other, divulges an arriere pensee of a dark and sinister description. Then, again, the flagrant falsehoods advanced in the way of argument against the policy of Lord Panmeasgoef afford full evidence of the unprincipled nature of the antagonism to his admini:tration. The inconsistency, moreover, of men such as the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Ripon, who four years ago spoke favourably of the very question which now becomes the object of their vituperations, has about it a sig nificance such as requires no exposition whatever. The truth is, we repeat, that an intrigue, the like of which for baseness and turpitude has never been surpassed, has been set on foot, to employ i the language of the lion. and Gallant Gentleman the Representative of the county of Middlesex, by Ministers of State in office and out of office, by Kings with crowns and without crowns, and he would add, too, without character. Aided by politi cal adventurers, struggling by every ignoble method to secure their own selfish aggrandizement, even at the expense of all national interests and of the commonest decencies of society, these conspirators are plotting to accomplish the expulsion from the Cabinet of a statesman in whose regard the feelings of the people of England are cordial and enthusiastic. Blindtd by their own detestable ambition, these men appear to forget that the great Minister of the Crown, whose ruin they are striving to accomplish, was already fa mous throughout Europe, when many of them were mere boys, and when the rest of them were crawling up the lowest and dirtiest rounds of the social ladder. They seem to lose a recollection of the circumstance that the popularity of Lord PALMERSTON is not a mere ephemeral ebullition of civic caprice, that it has not suddenly sprouted into existence out of simply eva nescent interest, but that it dates back its vitality during the larger portion of half a century, that it has grown to iGs present fullness and maturity from the earliest days of the present generation of statesmen, that, above all and beyond all, it has developed in strength and in perma nence by reason of a long series of giorioes and historical achievements. If for no other reason, the foreign policy of Lord PALMERSTON would com mand the admiration of contemporaries and the panegyric of posterity, seeing that to its sagacity alone, under GOD, is attributable the preservation of peace throughout the world during two most terrible end perilous periods of revolution. Immediately after the occasion of the great political explosion of the three days of July, 1830, and subsequently immediately upon the occasion of the yet greater political explosion of the three days of February, 1848—it was the good fortune of England to be represented among foreign notions by the policy of Viscount PALMERS TON. That policy secured international peace to Christendom when the whole surface of the European continent was heaving with what Mr. ALISON has powerfully designated the 44 mind- a es" of revolu tion. But for that conciliato oliky Great Britain must inevitably have beco broiled with one or other of the great peoples hen in a state of bellicose excitement. Especially during the momentous epoch which followed the grand democratic detonation of February, during those months of alternate panic and enthusiasm, when the princes of the earth were fugitives, when palaces were pillaged, and thrones broken in the market place, and "the official holy cf holies (to we the expression of Mr. CARLYLE) was laid bore to dogs and the profane"—then, more peculiarly than at any other period, the wisdom of Lord PALMERSTON'S foreign policy became apparent to the judgment of the population. Imagine the consequences that must have befallen this country and the rest of the nations of ChriAendom, supposing my Lord ABER DEEN had held the seals of the Foreign•office during the days immediately after the revolution of July and the days immediately after the revolution of Fe bruary ! Good GOD ! the mere conjecture is fraught with the most frightful visions of calamity. How the dupe of Louts PHILIPPE, and the cetspaw of GTJIZOT, and the obsequious accomplice of METTER NICH, could have escaped from being himself involved in the troubles which overwhelmed those, his patrons, masters, and panegyrists, it is somewhat difficult to imagine. And the entanglement of ABERDEEN would have been the entanglement of England, had the former at that period been unhappily at the head of the foreign department of the Government. Hence it is, we repeat, that the people of England are enabled to recognize the value of that system of conducting our diplomatic relations which empowered the illustrious statesman, her Me- JI3STY'S present Foreign Secretary, to maintain peace between Great Britain and the revolutionized countries of Christendom, and to maintain that peace, moreover, not only without any derogation of our national dignity, but in a manner such as tended to preserve, and enhance, and elevate the national inte rests and the national character. Never before, we maintain, has England ridden so tranquilly through such pclitical tempests of revolution, and never before have the name, and the fame, and the strength, and the glory of England, been so conspicuous over the whole globe as during these times of the foreign administration of Viscount PALMERSTON. Well, therefore, may that noble statesman challenge the favourable verdict of theaHouse of Commons, and demand the reward due to his patriotic labours—the formal approval of the Legislature. From every part of the country—north, south, east, and west—from England, from Ireland, from Scotland, from Wales, from the Land's End to Johnny Groat's house, from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear, from the shores of Galway to the Humber—complaints, both loud and deep, are pouring in of the intolerable inconvenience, and of the immense amount of Sabbath desecration, occa i sloaed by th e cu lp a bl e y i e ldi ng o f th e Mi n i stry to t h e fanatical, absurd, and, as we believe, illegal demand of the ASHLEY Sabbattarian squad for the abolition of the Post -office delivery on Sunday. We yester day gave, on the authority of Lord BROUGHAM, the narrative of a case in which Sunday labour, and that a labour of necessity, had been fearfully increased in consequence of the closing of o q f a t o h t e e f P r o o s m t-o t ffi h:cecoolfuCmansstleo-f ton on Sunday last. We a contemporary the following statement, addressed to him by one of his correspondents " I h...ve been in business for many yearg. The shop which I now conduc has been carried on by m ) self and my father for above thirty years. In conjunction with a respectable bookselling and printing business we h ave carried on an extensive newspaper agency, but during the whole of that timo we have never sold a nc , wspaper cr as much as a sheet of post on a Sunday. As in the case of other respectable country newsmen, our Sunhy papers were uddres.ed by a Lorido 9 agent direct to the subscribers, and we visited them quarterly for the cash. Now, I must surrender this branch of my business, which I cannot afford, or commence Sunday trader; and I have been obliged, from the competition of others, to engage to-day three mels,engers to deliver on a Sunday morning the London papers to my subscribers. The other newspaper agents are doing ;he same thing; so we - shall have now 071 a Sunday morning ten or twelve newsmen at the least running about the town delivering and hawAing papers, while four letter carriers have hitherto delivered all the lett'rs and newspapers Jo,' the whole town, in nzueh less time. " Another matter to be borne in mind is, that a new branch of active Sunday traffic h opere3, ss our walls are placarded with the addresses oV•compiting' gtenti, announcing the delivery of papers on a Sunday morning; and there is scarcely an inn or beer-house in the town hut has been canvassed to take a Sunday pap©r under this new puritanical regime." Thus we find that Sunday labour will be greatly increased by the abolition of the Sunday Post-office delivery, as it would be by the abolition of Sunday baking. The Sunday baker cooks the dinners of perhaps fifty poor families, and enables therm to go to church, when but for him they would have been forced to stay at home to attend to the cooking of their respective dinners; and the employment of four postmen in delivering letters on a Sunday morning (and be it remembered this work is done by ten o'clock, an hour before the commencement of Divine service), sets twelve men at liberty who would other wise be employed the whole of the day. The measure cf Lord ASHLEY is not only absurd, not only fanatical, but it is suicidal. We are rejoiced to find that the proprietors of the London weekly news papers, whose property will be confiscated by the operation of this measure, are bestirring themselves to procure the recall of the obnoxious order : a meeting of the proprietors of newspapers was held yesterday, at which petitions to both Houses of Parliament, praying .for the restora tion of the Post-office Sunday delivery were agreed to (the petition itself will be found in extenso in an other column), and we recommend that public meetings should be held in all parts of the country to protest against the order, and to petition for its repeal ; but we fear that there is not time to hold these meet• ings, so as to have the petitions emanating from them presented to Parliament during the present session ; and unless some measure ba adopted before the close of the present session to obviate the evils arising from the stoppage of the Sunday delivery, those evils will become intolerable be fore any remedy can be applied to them. The common•sense portion of the nation look, there• fere, in this their extremity to the Legislature to re pair the evil before it be too late ; and more especially do they look to Lord BitouGuam, who has, to his honour be it Fpoh:n, opposed from the commeneenaw, with the arms of elo quence, of sarcasm, end of reason, the insane proceedings of the Sabhatarians, and the culpable weeknese of the Ministry in givirg way to the ravings rf those madmen They - trust, and they beseech that his Lordship will move an ad dress in the II use of Lords, praying her MA JESTY to riecind the order prohibiting the Sued Ay delivery of letters. The Ministers have, in accordance with an address "snapped" from the House of Commons at the dinner hour, per petrated what they themselves admit to be an act cf iilegal and criminal, because mischievous, absurdity ; they cannot surely refuse to return to the ways of common sense and of legality, in accordance with an address from the House of Loris. ril LiZIT,;‘ VP N ti p 1.3 um- - l c -A . We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The organs of the Elp6l are any thing but well pleased with the narrowness of the majority by which tre clotation of the PiIESIDENT was carried ; imteid of tendiog to reconcile the difinences already existing between the Bonapartist, Legitimptist, and Orleanist fractions of the majority, the ren.ilt has only tended to embitter them. The Punvoir, the acknowledged organ of the PRESIDEINT, thus speaks of the result of division : " When in order to pet an end to the orgies of eee Provisiotal Government, France confided her fate to the elect of the 10th December, she had naturally to cem plete her idea by sending to the lettgiFdative Assembly repretentatires who would loyally and energetically support the Presideat of the Republic. It is necessary that the country should know that her hopes have been deceived. Thera is in the Assembly a flegi ant and per manent idea of hostility against Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. France chose him to save her; the Assem bly only accepted him to nullify him until it could rid itself of him. Such, in two words, is the state of affairs in all its desperate reality. and without any manmuvre being able to mask it from the eyes of since-re men. The patriotism and loyalty of General Changarnier alone prete.nted that deplorably hostility from breaking out oa Monday. Real political men, those who know the value of public peace, confidence, and general security; those who would be the natures icalers of the Assembly, if passion, egotism, fanaticism, and blindness would admit chiefs weighing with all their reason and all their geed sense on the Assembly, the event every day proves that they are powerless to master and to tead it. Thus, while the country seeks f-Jr re pose, for labour, and for order, some senseless men in cessantly strive to ke?p up agitation, • and to impel Francs to fr,salt commotions. It is necessary that the country should be made fully aware of this um:h. It would be in error if it thought that it had nothirg to rear but Socialism; it has etill more to detail from the .:eci;seint labour cf some men, whose ambitions and whee raeceurs prevent the Government from coniolidaiirig itself. This is not what they gave out to be pre t.) be feared at the period of the general clec tiow. They then proclaimed themse:ves the sup sort of 13iti elect of the 10th Deeteente, because that recornur n dation had a magical effect : then terror was general, and :every one rallied to the work of safety. New that te2u rity is somewhat returned, these ungrateful men make atm of it against him who gave it to them. They act like sailors who during a storm make a vow to the 'Lledonne, and who laugh flit her when the danger is over. We do not think that France will suffer such conduct to be pur sued in her name, and it is for that reason we think it necessary to point it out to her." Although the Ponvoir speaks of the patriotism and loyalty of Gffieral UHANGARNIER, the PRESIDENT and hi, friends are by no means pleased at the patronizing tone which he assumed on the occasion, nor at the naughty airs which he has since given himself. It was only by a judicious admixture of threats, promises, and coaxing that he was induced at the last moment to declare in favour of the Ministerial project. The National says : " Several representatives of the majority who voted yesterday against the tiwation of the President, remark animated language that M. Changarmer, who yester day broke through his habitual silence to urge the adop tion of the project of the Ely: e?, had not ceased for a wtelc previously to advise the rejection of that same project. M. :11agnan has therefore, by his arrival in Pa-is, performed a double miracle; he has loosed the toque of M. Chanzarnier, and operated a conTersion. rho image of the Virgin which rest gyred to Frarc )ise Petitot the use of her legs is surpassed." Tnis shows the threats. Now for the coaxing and the conditions. The correspondent of a reactionary journal thus speaks of the vote The vote on the amendment audio was car ried by a charge of General Changarnißr. The man ner in wh:elt this charge was executed is about to re dt,;ive its reward by the removal from office of General D'llautpoul. It is also said that the Ely: di is but mode rately satisfied with the numerical amount of the majority." It is considered as extremely probable that an ex tensive change will take place in the Ministry ; an announcement in the Pouvoir that M. DE PERSIGN; who is at present in Paris, will not return to Berlin, seems to confirm this rumour. The Akbar of Algiers states that upwards of CO persons have been arrested at Oran, charged with being implicated in a Socialist conspiracy. The directors of the Bank of France have declared a dividend of 50f. on their shares of I,ooof. for the half-year ending the Ist of July next. It is a Ctirious fact that the PRESIDENT has been enabled to obtain that which was always steadily re fused to Louis PHILIPPE, notwithstanding his intri gues and his corruptions—the KING asked for a do nation of 400,000 francs for the Duke DE NEmouns, and was refused. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, several of the Members complained that they had been repre sented by the division lists, published in the Moniteur, as having voted for the dotation, or as having been absent when they had been present, and had voted against it. Among the complainants was General LAMORICIERE, who remarked with great emphasis that it was not the first time that such mis takes had been committed by the officers acting under the superintendence of AL DUNN ; while M. LA.. GRANGE observed that such mistakes had also been invariably made in favour of the Minister. In th e lobby General LAMORICIERE was even more severe in his language than tie bad been in the tribune; for, pointing to the division lists in the Moniteur, he called those around him to witness that he had been falsely set down among the lackeys of the Elyse!.

'The Duke of MONTPENSIER iS exceedingly un popular among the Castilians, as the following anec dote will show. There was a bull-fight at Madrid on the 18th of June, at which the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER were present, and according. to the custom which prevails when any member of the royal family assists at the spectacle, the chief of the Torea dors requested their permi,;sion to commence the fight on his bended knee. At this proceeding the entire assembly hooted and hissed.

RAILWAY TRA7ELLING IN FINE WEATHER.—The fine summer weather seems to have inspired the directors of the several railways with a very laudable spirit of emulation to meet the wishes of the public, and their extreme liberality in providing cheap trains greatly conduces to the comfort of those who are anxious to get fresh air and a good view of the country at a reasonable rate. Just think of a Sun day excursion to Gravesend and back by the North Kent Railway for three shillings ! two shillings !! and one shilling and six pence !!! something between a farthing and a halfpenny a mile ! The adage of " Nothing like leather" falls to the ground here, for travelling by railway is much cheaper, and far more pleasant, than travelling on leather ! We understand that the line of carriages on the North Kent, last Sunday, looked very picturesque, forming for a considerable distance a long beautiful line of sinuosity, in accordance with the curves on the railway; and no accident whatever. Every summer Sunday the same. IlozaslNGs AT MATLOCK, BY R. SHELTON MAC KENZIE, author of •" Titian," &c., 3 vols.

TIII3 LONDON NEWS AGENTS AND THE NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS.—It is intended to call a meeting of the London uewsvenders, for the purpose of forming a deputation to wait on the proprietors of the metropolitan weekly news papers with the following propositions, viz. :—That an early edition of all the weekly newspapers ba published on Friday afternoon, in time for post to the most distant places, so that the papers may be supplied to the subscrib e rs in those localities on Saturday evening. Another edition to be pub lished on Saturday morning, to be forwarded to the less dis tant parts by the morning mails; anoi a town edition, for distribution throughout the metropolis and its suburbs on Saturday afternoon. Should the foregoing proposals be adopted, it would considerably lessen the labours of the working newsmen, who are now equally as hard worked on Sabbath as on the week days. ASSAULT OF ARMS.—A grand assault of arms, in cluding the foil, sabre, sticks, and bayonet against sabre, was last night given at the Whittington Club by Mr. Alfred Shury. M. "Prevoe.t. and Professor Gil!emend, both from Paris, took part in the assault, and so did Corporals Vent), Reid, and Waite. There was nimble fencing with the foils and some dexterous work with the sticks, but the most marked feature of the exhibition was the feats with the sword by Mr. A. Shury. A bar of lead, one and three-quar ters of an inch in thickness, and the carcass of a sheep were cut in twain neatly and cleverly at one fell swoop. The au dience were pretty numerous, and were enlivened in the course of the evenieg by the band of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, who played at intervals several popular airs. FOREIGN FRUITS AICD VEGETABLES.—The follow ing numerous and large arrivals of fruits and vegetables have taken place in one day from the continent for the metropo litan markets: - The steamer Rainbow, from Rotterdam, brought 1,101 bags of new potatoes; the Sir Robert Peel, from Dunkirk, 80e baskets and 49 cases of new potatoes, 253 dozens of cauliflowers, and 1,124 baskets of cherries; the Apollo, from Rotterdam, 3,783 baskets of new potatoes, 4 baskets of melons, and 19 sieves and 12 baskets of cucumbers; the Stadt Dordrecht, from Dordt, 28 hampers and 20 baskets of new potatoes, 20 hampers of cherries, 8 hampers of cab bages, and 29 hampers of carrots; the Fyenvord, from Rot terdam, £O3 baskets and 200 bags of new potatoes, and 197 baskets of cherries; the Venezuela, from Havre, 1,576 baskets of various kinds of fruits; and the e 4 oho, from Ant werp, 2d baskets of green peas, and 1,38/ baskets of various sorts of fruits—the produce of France, Holland, and Belgium. VauxnALL GARDENS.—Yesterday this place was opened at the early hour of 4 o'clock in the afternoon for the exhibition of a pageant, in which the whole of the horses and performers of Astley's Amphitheatre, under the direction of Mr. Batty, were employed. The scenes which consisted of tableaux and spectacles from the romance of Windsor Castle, were well arranged, and the costumes, &c., were gorgeous and appropriate. There were deer, dogs, horses, knights, squires, ladies, &c., almost without number —Herne the hunter, Henry VIII., Cardinal Wolsey, Anne Boleyn, &C.—in a word, al persons recognized by the his tory of the times, and many more whom no history has re corded. The scenery was well painted and the whole well got up. A monster band of music, in mere senses than one " played up " during the representation, an added to the appropriate dissonance of the scene. The whole went off well, and is likely to attract multitudes of spectators. At the conclusion of the performance the promenade commenced and at dusk the usual entertainments of the gardens were begun. ICE Cob FISIIERY.—A correspondent from Chris tiania writes, on the 7th June, " The return of the steamer from Hemmerfest brings us information up to the 21st ult. They write that the ccd fishery on the east coast of Fin marken promised to be more than usually productive, and that in consequence no less than 2,50 U boats, manned by 10,0u0 men, had already passed that port on their way to the fishing grounds."

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. ,The Cotton market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very animated, and with a good demand for export and specu lative business. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bake, of which one-half wean taken for export and on speculation. Brazil advanced 0., and ord. and mid. American were to id. per lb. higher, at which the market closed firmly.—Railway Shares were flat, with very little business doing. The six weeks' average price of wheat is 40s. per quarter, the highest point fJr some time past. It will obviously not be for want of industry if the Cotton Market be not buoyed up to the highest possible mark by the parties interested on the other side of the Atlantic, and it is curious to watch their progress. A leading broker at New York writes by the Atlantic steamer:— My last report of this market was under date of the 4th inst., per Europa. The business transacted since has indicated daily that confidence in the stability of present prices is wide spreading, and the class of buyers operat ing now are those who have all the season stood clear of the article, believing at first in the existence of a crop three hundred thousand bales more than cal be realised by draining the interior towns; and when that obstacle was removed; they felt it was unsafe, hesrause bills bad been made early against an unusual proportion of the receipts, and in the ability of European spinners to abate the manufacture, or, as they term it, the consumption of the article, they had no question, and predicted we should certainly reel the pres sure as soon as they had definitely assured themselves that the crops was determined, and is the ports, as without the aid cf the foreign market cur commission houses would not dare to try the experiment of holding supplies until the people called for goods so ravenously as to force dealers to purchase small quantities of first heads, on what, was to be, a falling market. From all that we can learn on this side, spinners are more astounded at the continued extent of the demand for their goods from all quarters of the globe, than they are at the actual short ness of the present crop, as it evidences that the real consumption of cotton fabrics has overtaken the production. They do not allow enough for the vast yearly improvements in ma chinery, the great amount of the circulating medium, and for the proportion that are gained by the low rate of agricultural productions. Dealers are believed to hold light stocks abroad, as for six months past they were told weekly, by the highest authorities at Man chester, that cotton prices were unsafe, and must soon fall on their own merits. In this country I sun assured that stocks in the bands of tbo:e who supply the people are also light, as the impression here was that it was a cotton fight, and, as usual, the superior capital of our trans- Atlantic . brethren would carry the day, and, consequently, the same stroke of policy was acted on—purchase lightly. Now, the people call for goods, and the cotton fight being at an end, the old-stagers appear at our cotton-offices, and confess their errors, believing that cotton has not yet commenced to rise. The sales up to Tuesday, 11th inst., averaged 2,500 hales daily. "Iu regard to the prospcet of the next crop, I have nothing to add to my respects of that date. 1 reiterate these remarks, and solicit you to note them particularly. I could eke a volume of reasons for my conviction of their accuracy. But as my deductions have always been well within the subsequent facts, I consider it unneces-. sary." Accounts from Antwerp state that some disorder had occurred there upon a shipment of potatoes by an Eng lish dealer, who ►tas done a large business in the article, a.;cl that part uf the cargo was stopped on the quay, so :s not to be in time for the Hull boat. The growers :hereupon sold the potatoes at two frs. per quarter hec tolitre, for which the English shipper han agreed to give tour fis. The first arrival of herrings in Holland took place on the 23d inst., and as usual a certain portion was imme diately sent to the King and the Ministers. Dutch Stock was rather flitter at Amsterdam on the 25th inst., the Two. and-a-Hall per Cents. being 57j.

Notice of tw•o buoys moored on the English B:,nk to Vie E. of the Bar of Pernambuco. The following has been received at Lloyd's from Whitehall, by command of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade:— " There are now moored to the East of the Light house of the Bar of Pernambuco, two buoys, one black 2nd one red, which show the psition of the English Bank. Each of these buoys has a bell to warn incaut.iou navigators of. its- proximity; but in- consequence- of the defection of the wind and the roaring of the waves, it cannot sometimes be heard except at .a short distance. The red buoy marks the Southern end of the Bank, and the black one the Northern extremity thereof. "To the East of the said buoys you can always safely steer; but only at high water in middle tides can vessels drawing ten feet water pass between them. " To the South of the red buoy the navigation is always free and open to any vessel; but to the North of the black buoy there is barely a channel by which vessels can pass, having. Bar pilots on holrd, as close to are the Olinda Reef), or Banks. "Post-Captaincy, Pernambuco, April 9, 1850." MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) NEWG.II'2I9 AND LiIMETC7III.Itai.

Their Lordships sat in the Council Chamber, Whitehall, and the Lords present were Mr. Baron Parke, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Chancel lor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and Sir Edward Ryan. Their Lordships, having disposed of the motions on thc.r paper, proceeded to hear the further arguments in the part-heard case of DOOLUDDASS PETTAMBERDASS AND OTHERS V. RAMLOL THACKOWISEYDASS AND °TIMES. This was art appeal from the Supreme Court of Judi- ' cature at Bombay, in au action to recover the amount of several wagers, f aey• six in number, which were made between the appellants and respondents, who were merchant.; and bankers very extensively engaged in trade at Calcutta, on the average price of Patna opium at the then ensuing public Governmerit sale at Calcutta. The appellants pleaded non aisumpsit ; that they were induced to enter into contracts through the fraud and covin of the: resoondente; and that the average price per chest of the Patna opium :old at the said public Government sale was au average price en hanced by and through the haute?, covin, and collusion of the respondents. The respondents replii dde injuria. It appeared that prior to the year 1847 it had been cus tomary to hold five Government sales of opium in each year; the number of sales were, hotvever, in that season increased to nine, and the quantity of opium offered at each bale was thus proportionably reduaed. The first Government sale of the season was made on the 30th of November, and upon that occasion the whole quantity of Patna opium for sale was 1,690 chests. Of this quan tity, however, the French Government had, by conven den with the Government of India the right to claim 300 chests to be withdrawn from the cafe, and to be taken by the French Government at the average price fetched by the rest. Previously to the sale it ap peared that the respondents had made a large number of time bargains at Bombay and Calcutta, and in these bargains the average tamed ranged from 1,300 to 1,400 rupees per chest, up to nearly 1,800. In the contracts declared upon in the tetion, the lowest average named was 1,387 rupees, and the highest 1,775 rupees. In the great majority of instances the respondents were buyers, or in other words, specu lated on the rise in the price. It Rai proved, however, that in some instances the respondents were sellers, and speculated upon the fell. The sale, as before stated, was advertised to take place upon the 30th of November, and the representatives of several firms attended the sale to bid on behalf of the appellants. On that day, however, no sale cf opium took place, owing to some parties keeping up the biddings for the first lot throughout the whole of the day, and running it up to a preposterously extravagant price; and the Government agent, finding that those parties were determined to keep up the bid dings until night, was obliged to abandon the design of selling at all upon that day. Immediately after the fsil tire of the intended sale the respondents, through their representatives who had attended the sale, wrote to the secretary of the Board of Opium, and offered 1,800 ru pees per chest for the opium. The sale was, however, again advertised to take place upon the 7th of December, with several new conditions introduced, chiefly with the view of preventing a recurrence of the interrup tion which bad taken place upon the previous occasion. Before the sale the agent of the French Government claimed 300 chests. On the 7th of December the sale took place; and it appeared from a list furnished by the Government agent that, with the exception of seventy five chests purchased by a Mr. Pereira at the rate of 1,750 rupees per chest, the whole of theiratna opium was purchased by the respondents at sums which made the average price amount to rather more than 1,793 rupees per chest. The average price at the sale was greatly enhanced by the efforts of the respondents' agents. Mr. Pereira, it appeared, had received orders from Chins to buy, and was not limited as to price; he considered it to be his duty to buy at any price, and stated that fur those seventy-five chests he would have gone to 2,000 rupees a chest, though he considered the price very high at which ho purchased. It appeared that the re pondents' representatives paid the Government for the whole of the opium, excepting that pur chased by Pereira, and it must have required an immense command of capital to have enabled the respon dents to operate as they did upon the market, for the sum paid by them to the Government exceeded 24 lakhs of rupees; and soon after the sale, this very opium, or at least a portion cf it, was sold by them at 1,200 and 1,300 rupees per chest, so that to gain by such a transac tion, the number and extent of their wager contracts must have been immense. Chief Justice Perry held in the court below " that the respondents were not bound by any rule of law, nor by the rules of morality received amongst mankind at large, to disclose to the appellants that they intended to make larger purchases now than upon former occasions, and it was the appellants' own fault fur not perceiving that circumstances in the present case enabled the respondents to do so with effect. The respondents mutt, therefore, have judgment for the difference on the several contracts in the declaratiou." It was from this judgment that the present appeal was made. The further arguments occupied their Lordships the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

COMMON PLEAS.—(TIIIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi-Prius at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.) GIDNEY V. DYER. This was an action for an assault. It appeared that the plaintiff had occupie f premises in Earl-street, be longing to the defendant, as solicitor's offices, for some years, and had lately left them to occupy others in Crosby Hall Chambers, Bishop gate-street. A dispute had arisen between them respecting fixtures, and on the 17th of April the defendant called at the plaintiff's offices, and accused him of taking away fixtures from the premises in Esrl-street, which he had no right to do. Violent language passed between them, and the scene terminated by the defendant assaulting the plain tiff with his umbrella, and inflicting several severe blows on his head with it until it broke in the struggle.

The defendant, who slept in the same room, came home about 12 o'clock, and witness let him into the room, w here he (defendant) sat reading for some time. Witness then went to sleep, and when he awoke at three o'clock this morning, he missed his watch. He subsequently felt in his waistcoat-pocket, and found that 3s. had been abstracted therefrom.

The defendant denied all knowledge of the watch; there Tr ere other lcd;er:: in the house, and one of them might have taken the watch.
