Ai o l-xisiness of public importance w: N Oiler the prese ntation of several petitions their Lord sitilis adjourned. -----_ " The Commons met at Four o'clock. Several private Bills were forwarded a stage. In answer to Mr. TuonNELY, Mr. MILNER GIBSON stated that a Bill was in pre paration to enable joint-stock companies to wind up their concerns. Lord Jon:" RCSSELL stated, in answer to a question, that it was the intention of the Government that the Poor-law Bill for Ireland, and the Bill for lending money to the proprietors of land, should proceed pari passu, so as to go up to the other House together. His Lordship also stated that in a few days he would propose a measure for the organisation of the Poor-law Board in Ireland. Mr. SHARNAN CRAWFORD then moved the resolution of which he had given notice, the object of which was to secure to the tenant in Ireland a sufficient permanency of tenure, or full compensation for all benefits created by the expenditure of his labour and capital on the lands in his occupation. Sir D. NORREYS thought that the stamp duties should be done away with, and that where leases were given for less than thirty years, that all local taxation should be thrown on the landlord. Mr. MITE desired that the property of absentees was as well managed as that of the resident gentry. Lord CASTLE:LEACH could not support the motion of the Hon. Member for Rochdale, as it would be produc tive of the greatest mischief to the landed proprietors of I. eland. Colonel CONNOLLY opposed the motion. Mr. LABOUCHERE acknowledged that the subject was one well worthy the attention of the house. Had the Hon. Member pursued the course he had pursued on former occasions, and proposed to introduce a Bill, the Government would not have objected to its introduc'ion, lout he considered that it would be injudicious to agree to a general resolution on the subject. more particularly when, as in the present instance, the choice was given to the House of adopting two alternatives. He also ob jected to the resolutions as vague and indefinite. It would alter the law of property to give permanency of tenure, but he conceived that the house was already committed to the principle of giving compensation to the tenant for improvements. Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said that the tenant right was a most unfair and mischievous practice. In answer to Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, it was stated by Mr. LABOUCHERE that the Government hoped to intro ' duce a Bill on the subject referred to in the resolutions before Easter. The motion was then withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. AGLIONBY, leave was given bring in a Bill to amend the Commons Enclosure Act. Mr. SHARMAN CRAW FORD obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better collecting the poor's rate in Ireland. Mr. C. O'BRIEN moved for certain returns relating to the proceedings of Captain Wynne as an officer of the Board of Works, which, after a short conversation, were agreed to. Mr. STRCTT, as the Chairman of the Railway Com mi•sion, then rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the regulation of railway business. With regard to new Bills, it was proposed that the promoters of them should deposit a sufficient sum to defray the preliminary expenses of a survey, and that then they should be authorised by the Commissioners to enter on the survey of lands, giving the Commissioners power to award damages for any injuries occurring in consequence of such survey. It was:proposed that stakes should be driven into the land to mark the line of the proposed railway, and that a public officer should be sent down to receive suggestions from owners or occu piers as to any proposed deviations, which if the promoters were inclined to receive, they should have power to do, and to include such deviations in their deposited plans. He proposed that proofs of compliance with the standing orders, should be received by the Railway Commissioners, and that the officer sent down by them should report upon the deposited plans and sections. He proposed that counsel should not be allowed to be heard, or to examine witnesses before the Commissioners. He proposed that the Commissioners should have power to report to the House upon all matters relating to tolls, fares, engineering, amount of capital, construction of the line, number of shares, and power fur borrowing money, to be granted to the com pany. He proposed that in Committee, with regard to questions of fact, which might be the subject of dis pute, he proposed that either party might complain, and hare the Bill referred back to the CommiS sioners, and if the complaint should turn out unfounded that the parties so applying should bear the expenses. He did not propose to give the Commissioner power to authorise railway companies to borrow capital, or to amal gamate, without coming to Parliament, nor did he propose to limit the rate of interest on the dividends of railway companies. He proposed that the power of revising the rates of fares on railways, every ten years, should be ,given to Parliament; and he proposed that every existing railway company which came to Parliament for an ex tension of its powers should be subject to this revision of tolls and fares, and that the same power should be vested in Parliament with regard to all railways. He also proposed that when any company intended to make alterations in their fares, such company should give due notice thereof to the Commissioners, stating at the same time their reasons for such alt, rations, With regard to the Post-office service, ho thought that distinct and definite charges should be made for it, such rates of charge to be agreed on between the Post office and the Companies, and to be reported to the Companies in the same way as the rates of fares and tolls were reported to them, limiting the contract for carrying the mails to the period:of five years. To ensure punctuality, he proposed that bills of the times of arrival and departure of each train should be conspicuously exhibited at every station, that they should be forwarded to the Com missioners, and that they should make an annual report to Parliament of the speed of the diffe rent trains throughout the country, calling the attention of Parliament to the punctuality or want of punctuality- in the different trains run by the different companies, and their influence upon the safety of the public. He proposed that, with regard to cheap trains, the time of arrival, departure, and stopping at the different stations should be reported to the commissioners, and that at night there should be lights in the carriages ; and that in every carriage should be affixed a notice, stating the number of pas sengers every such carriage was to convey; and that any infraction of such rules should be punished by fine. He proposed also to give the Commissioners power to re gulate the time of the arrival and departure of third class trains where two companies meet, so as to answer the accommodation of the public, and to employ police et the expense of the company where their employment might be necessary to insure the preservation of the public peace. _ _ After a short debate, leave was given to bring in the Bill. On the motion for the second reading of Lord G. BENTINCK'S Bill, for advancing 16,000,0001. to the shareholders in Irish railways, Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN appealed to the Noble Lord. the Member for Lynn, to postpone his motion, in order to give time to the Irish Members to consult their con stituents, as the Government had held out an un generous threat that they would resign should the motion be carried. A long and angry discussion ensued, in the course of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he would not consent to any postponement of the Bill. If it were too late to proceed with it that night, he would give up to-morrow, which was a Government night, to the discussion of the measure. Eventually the second reading was adjourned till to-morrow (this day). The Brewing from Sugar Bill was read a third time. The Railway Commissioners' Bill was read a first time. The House adjourned shortly after Eleven o'clock. Upon the decision of Parliament on the Irish railway scheme, introduced by the Noble Lord the representative of Lynn, the Prime Minister has an nounced his intention of staking the existence of the Government. Had Lord JOHN RUSSELL done other wise, he would, without question, have been charged by the Opposition with tenaciously clinging to office, after a possible defeat upon the grandest of all matters of Ministerial polity at the pre sent moment—namely, the salvation and resto ration of Ireland. Under any circumstances, indeed, the present Administration would have been liable either to invidious insinuations or to a positive impeachment—under any circumstances, it would have been pierced with the poisoned arrows of party rancour—under any circumstances whatever, saving the peculiar circumstances in which it is placed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S announcement. In speak ing as the Noble Lord the head of her MAJESTY'S Government has spoken, he has acted with a boldness arid a candour most honourable to himself and to his colleagues. As a conscientious statesman, it was impossible for him to sanction the reckless ap propriation of an enormous loan of 16,000,0001. to any purpose, however benevolent, unless the applica tion of that amount was proved to tally with the principle of the golden rule of legislation—" the greatest good to the great e st number." U n l ess it was ostensible t o th e Mi n i sters o f t h e C rown t h at t h e effect s o f t hi s gigantic piece of generosity and confi dence would i nev i ta b ly y beathn d the r e b s a t p o p r t a n t e m s n s of an thed att starv ing pe asantry to health of e same time th e emo l ument h whom the requi s it e sixteen millions individuals from unless this reciprocal advantagem:esrewdere borro we d_ demonstrated to be the natural and necessary resu l t of Lord Graoacia BENTINCK'S proposition, it would have been criminal in the members of the Government to give their coun tenance to any such stupendous venture. "Nothing risk, nothing gain," is all very well in the atmosphere of CROCKFORD'S, and might be emblazoned with some point on the lottery-wheel of the Art-Union, but in the conduct of a Legislature the proverb would be a sample of very paltry philosophy. The rulers of au empire are, by the assumption of authority, ipso facto invested with a vast and sacred responsibility. The national resources are not to be squandered away like the gold of a gamester or the reputation of a concubine. It is not just, it is not honest, it is not consistent with their characters as the guardians of one of the sublimest Constitutions of Christendom, for the Ministers of Great Britain to lavish sixteen millions at a time upon the suggestions of a political adventurer, aided by the clamours of an interested i minority. Now, it is manifest to every sensible and dis passionate man, that the railway scheme of the 1 Noble Lord, the Member for Lynn, originating pos sibly in a benevolent and patriotic sentiment, is one of the maddest games of legislative hazard ever con ceived by the mind of the most speculative politician. Ireland is destitute. By a common and spontaneous sympathy the less afflicted people of the United Kingdoms evince a readiness to assist the sufferers, and, in accordance ss ith that general manifesta tion of philanthropy, the Parliament, the Minis try, and the SOVEREIGN coincide in passing measure after measure for the relief of the indigent. For a while the unanimity which is [ exhibited is complete and uninterrupted; boon after boon is conferred upon Ireland; immunity after im -1 munity ; advance after advance ; stimulus after sti mulus. The consequence of this splendid munificence is obvious. There is a pause in the distribution of bounties. A consciousness gradually insinuates itself upon the minds of the people, of the Parliament, and of the Ministry, that enough has been bestowed by Government—that an extension of this assistance would be injurious if not absolutely fatal to exertion on the part of the Irish multitude themselves. CURTIUs and his horse, armed cap-a-pie, had been plunged into the chasm, the sacrifice of anything beyond that was unnecessary, and would have been little short of insanity. As we have said, there was a pause therefore. The Ministry and the community at large felt more fully than ever the wisdom of that noble old motto, " GoD helps those who help themselves." And having shown the impoverished peasantry of Ireland an example of activity, and the landowners a model of timely muni ficence, they paused. The work which they had already accomplished in behalf of Irish penury was the verb of a great movement of renovation and re generation. More on their part would have been un wise, and might have proved actually ruinous. That was the position of affairs when Lord GEORGE BENTINCY 1 advances to the table of the House of Commons, and Iproposes the transfer of sixteen millions of money over .and above all that has been done already, to Ireland, to relieve the Irish landlords of any burthen whatever, and to saddle the industrious people of England with all the woes produced through the mismanagement of those same landlords, and in accord ance with the all-wise dispensations of the DEITY. Six teen millions of money—to set business astir again in Capel-court, to impart its pristine importance to scrip, to pamper the able-bodied " navies" of Great Britain, to protect the agriculture 'of Ireland from the most reasonable liabilities—to sow new winds, in short, for the simple purpose of reaping new whirl winds. 'The alternative of the Government was visible. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has acted with a wisdom and courage in this delicate position which cannot very quickly be forgotten. The clouds are gathering thick and fast arsund the self-dishonoured Minister. The storm of public indignation, as we predicted would be the case, is ready to burst over the head of M. GUIZOT. On every side severe and justly-merited retribution threatens the man who descended from the high posi tion which he held, a short while since, almost uni versally, in the eyes of Europe, to become the servile minion of royalty. M. GUIZOT has betrayed his country and blasted his reputation. When he banished every sentiment of honour from his breast, which, in justice to France, should have punctiliously ruled his every thought and action as her high functionary for Foreign Affairs, he broke a sacred trust, and recklessly abused the confidence which a generous people had reposed, under the excusable delusion that his integrity was as pure as his ability was undoubted. His talents still remain unquestioned ; but his integrity, without which the former are worthless, except for mis chievous and malevolent purposes, has been discovered to be nothing better than a skilful counterfeit. Now that the lacquer has been subjected to the healthy friction and trying test of public opinion, the basis is found to consist of the coarsest metal. M. GUIZOT, in order to continue to bask in the royal sunshine, wantonly trifled with the interests, and shamelessly dimmed the lustre of the honour, of his country. The French Nation are profoundly sensible of the injury which has been inflicted upon their national cha racter, and are already loud in their murmurs against the perfidy of the Minister. We speak not of the French Chambers, which, as we have recently written, present no real constitutional type of the interests and sentiments of our chivalrous neighbours. The intelligence from Paris renders it highly probable that M. GUIZOT must almost immediately retire from the Ministry, notwithstanding that the Address will be carried in the Legislature by a strong majority. That M. GUIZOT should succeed in passing the Address in the terms couched by the Government, and yet be constrained to resign, is precisely the anomaly which proves how farcical is the representa tive system in France. It proves, moreover, that public opinion cannot be imperiously slighted, and it is a satisfaction to England to know that France can not be fairly judged of by the acts of her Executive or Legislature, between which and the people there is no real sympathy whatever. Had any English Minister been guilty of such duplicity and dishonour able conduct towards France as M. GUIZOT has ob served towards England, he would, in all probability, have been unable to have shown his face in the House of Commons. In the first place, his constituency would have immediately demanded the resignation of his trust into their hands ; and if this requirement had not been complied with, the House of Commons would have prevented any administration, associated with such a colleague, from carrying an address to the Throne, by moving a vote of direct censure, and immediately cashiering them from power. The speech of the Marquis DE MIRArLORES, in Madrid, on the Ist instant, has completely put to the rack the mind of every honourable Frenchman. The Marquis has declared M. GUIZOT was " most inexact" in stating that he, when Minister, ever made any overtures respecting a marriage be tween the Duke DR MONTPENSIER and the In fanta. The Marquis denies it in toto---nay, he asserts that he told M. BREsSoN such a marriage was quite out of the question, in fact, impossible; and that he could not laulerstand the necessity of the nuptials of the royal sisters beiny simultaneously solemnized. The Marquis appeals to M. BREFSON for the truth of his assertions. The Marquis admits he was in Paris in July last, and had frequent interviews with the KING and conversed over the question of the Spanish mar riages. The Marquis does not deny that he sought to impress the KING with the desirableness of a Prince of COBURG being selected for the hand of the Queen of SPAIN, which Lord PALMERSTON alleged (as his belief) the Marquis was disposed to try and accomplish. The Marquis is silent on this point, but he declares that he went to Paris in a private and not in any of ficial or diplomatic capacity. If he repaired to the French city at the instance of Queen CHRISTINA, he could not have gone officially, for the QUEEN-. MOTHER, not being a member of the Government, could not have conferred any such authority upon th e Marquis; neither could his mission have been a di plomatic aloneaticone,havfeor invested him himthe with Minister , could a function. Therefore the speech of th e M ar q uis DE MIRAYLORES completely bears out, in substance, everything advanced by Lord PALMERSTON in his able dispatches, and henceforth no man can place the least reliance upon M. GUIZOT'S veracity. He will be offered up as a sacrifice by his wily SOVEREIGN to appease the offended dignity of France and of civilized Europe. Lours rza.zrz will have no feelings of . / 11 0 k so. THE SUN, _LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1847. compunction in being driven to take this step. His system has always been to keep down every man of talent in his dominions, and wherever, by the ful filment of his own wary schemes, a Minister happens incidentally to have acquired personal weight and celebrity, the KING of the FRENCH invariably de signs a pitfall for the ruin of his official victim. May the fate of M. GUIZOT prove a salutary warning to the future statesmen of France ! Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived. Their con tents are unimportant. MADRID BOLSA, FEE. 4.—The Thre© per Cents closed at 32i; the Five per Cents, at 20i; Coupons, 19i• We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The leading articles of almost all of them comment on the financial state of the country as developed in the de bate of the day preceding. A general feeling of uneasiness prevails in Paris on the subject of the differences between the French and English Governments, differences the gravity of which have been materially aggravated by the gross and wanton attack which M. Gni LOT thought it right to make on the Marquis of NOR MANDY in the Chamber of Deputies. It was rumoured in Paris that the Marquis of NORMANDY bad broken off all communication with M. GUIZOT, and had sent home to his Go►ernment requesting either to be recalled or to be furnished with fresh instructions. The letter of Lord NORMANDY on the subject, and the answer of Lord PALMERSTON, will be found in another column. The consequence of these rumours was a de cline in the value of public securities of every descrip tion. To increase the embarrassments of M. GUIZOT, the direct contradiction made by the Marquis of MIRA FLORES to his statements arrived in Paris on Sunday; and that has shaken the faith of many who, up to that moment, believed that implicit reliance might be placed on any statement made:by M. GUIZOT. Marshal Souvr, it is said, has tendered his resignation, and M. Du- CIIATEL will be the new President of the Council. This change will necessitate the resignation of M. GUIZOT, who had been promised the Presidency of the Council, whenever Marshal SOULT should resign, and his place will be filled up by Count MOLE. Such is one of the many rumours in the salons of Paris —rumours which, however they may differ in other respects, all agree in representing Count MOLE as the " coming man." It is reported that, on Tuesday, a Cabinet courier arrived from Brussels, with a dispatch from the KING of the BELGIANS, expressing his astonish ment that the relations between France and Great Britain should be rendered additionally dificult of arrangement by a speech from his Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs, not merely because of its containing passages capable of being deemed contradictory of cer tain portions of the dispatches of her Britannic Ma jesty's Ambassador in France, but because of the tone and air of defiance towards England which it displayed throughout. The debate on the financial paragraph of the Address was resumed on Tuesday, on which occasion M. Gam DIN inveighed with great fury against the free traders, and was replied to on Wednesday by M. BLANQUI, in a most convincing and argumentative speech. The paragraph was ultimately adopted. In discussing the paragraph relating to Algiers, the Mar quis DE CASTBLLANE demanded explanations as to the mission of M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS, when the Minister of War declared that the Veloce steamer had been placed at the disposal of M. DUMAS by mistake, and the Mioister of Public Instruction denied that he had sent M. DUMAS on a mission either to Madrid or to Tunis—it was to Algiers, and to Algiers alone, that he was sent. Accounts hare been received from Toulon announc ing that a French beet had left that port for Tunis for the protection of the BEY. The Prase and the National have, in their ardour against England, managed to place themselves in a most ridiculous position. Our readers will recollect their magniloquent backing up of what they considered the protest of the Journal de la Haye against the occupation of Labuan by England, and their indignation against the Debats and the :Constitutionnel for not perceiving that the Journal de la Halie was right in protesting against it as a violation of the treaty of 1824. It ap pears, however, that the article of the Journal de h !Jaye referred exclusively to Borneo, and not to Labuan. TEis is clearly shown by an article of the Dutch journal of the 6th, in which it corrects the error of the I'resse and National, and adds:—" We claim our rights only where they are well established. We have no claims over Labuan; the English, .hereforc, are at liberty to take possession of that island." There is some good-humoured banter in the Constitu tionnel on the subject of the absurd error into which the Presse and the National have fallen 'The Three per Cents., which fell early in the day to 77f. 20c., recovered in a slight degree, and closed at 77f.35c. ; the Fire per Cents., 117 f. 75c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,2221. 50c.

About 4,000 necessitous persons have, since its open ing, participated in the bounty thus dispensed. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was very flat. Sales 2,500 bales. American was lgd. per lb. lower, but Egyptian and Brazilian obtained about previous rates. Shares were in scarcely any demand. Although there can be little doubt of the ability of our capitalists to supply double the amount of the loan of sixteen millions sterling recommended by Lord George Bentinck, there should be some consideration for the other wants of the Government, and a little attention to the necessity of obtaining money for the public service at as cheap a rate as possible. Were a new loan for a large sum contracted at the present day in the open market, we should expect to see Consols decidedly lower, because it is the practice of speculators to operate for a fall in these cases, with the view of obtaining a profit upon their tender to Government; and now when upon safe bills at short dates a return of five per cent. can be obtained by our bankers, who are themselves taking in the surplus cash of their customers at 3 1 / 4 per cent., it is not likely that Stock at present prices would attract very eager corn petition. The Chancellor of the Exchequer can get a loan, we know, but the question arises, will he not have to pay rather onerously for it? In 1842, when the minimum rate of interest at the Bank of England was 1 ,4 per cent. above what it now is, Consols stood at 89, and this too although Exchequer-bills then bore an interest of 2 1 4 per centum per diem. That year was somewhat similar to the one upon which we have recently entered, since there was an excess of ex penditure over income, though to a much smaller amount than we are now threatened with. Mr. Spring Rice was no friend to open loans, and, as is well known, resorted to the plan of increasing the unfunded debt. Under proper restriction, and guarded strictly by Parliamentary " curbs," probably this is the most facile and independent means of rais ing money for the public service, and if the requirements of Go vernment can be spread over a sufficient period, a gradual issue of bills, and a funding at favourable opportunities, is the course which seems to meet approbation in many quarters. We have before stated under this head the objections that may fairly be urged to this mode, but we can also perceive some counterbalancing advantages. Great interest is manifested for the forthcoming Budget, more particularly as there is an idea that some of the Continental Governments may be coming into the market as borrowers ere long. The advices received to-day from the United States notice an improvement in the exchange, which is rattier encourag ing ; and, should it continue, it may induce a slackening at least of specie exports from this side of the channel. The amount of specie imported into New York last year was about three-quarters of a million of dollars. The Funds have been depressed to-day, and we call them %to 1 4 lower. The reports of M. Guirot's probable resigna tion, the weak condition of the Paris Bourse, and the contest between Lord John Russell and the Bentinck party, have all their share in producing this state of things. Consols have been 90 1 4 to 1,4 for present transfer, and 90% 5 ,i for account. , Exchequer-bills have been marked ss. to Bs. premium. The New Three .and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% 1. Bank Stock is worth 204. The Foreign Bonds have been very dull again. The half monthly account is going off easily. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 3574, being rather flatter. Mexican aro 21 3 4 to 22. Spanish Bonds are nominal. The Railway Share Market has been very quiet. Here the fortnightly account is but a small affair. We perceive that the question of allowing interest on calls is likely to be mooted at the next meeting of tiro North Staffordshire Railway proprietors, but we think the directors have done right hitherto in not " robbing Peter to pay Paul," and that the line, when completed, will be all the more valuable, because less costly. As many have a difficulty in tracing the couse of this and other new rail ways, we should recommend Tuck's last map as a very ser viceable guide. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's, from the Foreign office, enclosing copies of dispatches from her Majesty's Consul at Lisbon and the Cape Verd Islands, reporting the loss of the English brig Friendship, of Dublin, from Liver pool to Halifax. This vessel was abandoned at sea in a sinking state, lat. 36. 24 N., annon. 45.20 W., on the 26th of November last; crew saved by the United States ship Curties, and landed at the Cape Verd. The Secretary of the British North American Royal Mail Steam Company has forwarded a communication to Lloyd's, that the Hibernia steamer had not arrived at New York at four o'clock r.m., on the 22d of January, but that her time was not then due for arriving.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. Up to our market this week, coastwise and by land car riage sample, the arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very limited scale, and we had a trifling quantity on offer. All kinds moved off readily, at an advance on INlonday's quotations, of from Is to 2s per quarter. In Foreign Wheat— the supply of which on offer was small—a large business was doing, at an improvement in value of from is to 2s per quarter. Fine malting Barley was scarce, and was readily taken off at full prices. All other kinds were quite as dear. Malt was held for higher rates, which the brewers were very reluctant to give; consequently, comparatively very little was doing in it. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour moved off readily, at extreme currencies. English .. Foreign Wheat. 2,450 qrs. ARRIVALS. IBarley. 1,820 qrs. 30 I 1,440 I Malt, 2,870 qrs.

PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat again to-day to hear colonial appeals. The Lords present were : Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, the Master of the Rolls, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, Sir Alexander Hope Johnstone, and Sir Edward Ryan. WISE V. XISIIENKOOSIA.R BOUS. Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in this case, which came before them upon appeal from the Supreme Court of Bengal. The Court rose at two o'clock, in order that their Lord ships might attend her Majesty's Levee. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to-day, and, after disposing of the unopposed lunatic petitions on his paper, proceeded to hear the further arguments in the part heard motion of the Electric Telegraph Company v. Nett and Gamble, which occupied his Lordship till the rising of the Court. His Lordship rose at an early hour to attend her Majesty's levee. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took unop posed cause petitions, short causes, cause petitions, and causes to-day, but no case of any public interest came before his Honour during the whole morning. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) 1111 RE BRIXTON SCHOOL. The further hearing of the petition in this cause, in which the question at issue was as to the right of the trustees of this charity to remove the schoolmaster, was postponed for four weeks. MOSITYN V. MOSTYN. This was a petition in the suit, praying for the payment of a sum of 4801., the residue of a legacy of 9001., which had been left by the testator, Sir John Mostyn, to a female chari table institution in North Wales. The petitioners were the stewardesses of the institution and their husbands, and their being no treasurer they contended that they were entitled to receive the money in question. The matter was ordered to stand over. QUEEN'S BENCH.- , (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice ERRE and a Special Jury.) TOUTER V. GRANT AND ANOTHER. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Sir F. THESIGIM said he was happy to inform the jury that their further attendance would not be required, as the de tenilants had consented to a verdict being taken favour of the plaintiff. The parties had come to au arrangement. It was right to state that no imputation rested upon Mr. Dar nell (the author, and not the publisher of the book) with respect to the publication of the copy-books. The matter was a fair one for inquiry in a court of justice. The arrangement was understood to be this—that the par ties should continue to sell their respective books, and that they should pay their own costs. The verdict was then entered for the plaintiffs. Several witnesses were examined in support of the defence —that the copy-books of Mr. Foster contained nothing new, nothing but elementary principles which had been in use for upwards of forty years. Mr. Lewis, of 113, Strand, said he had taught writing for forty years, and that for nearly the whole of that time he had used the system (substantially) which Mr. Foster styled his own—the principles were merely elementary. Mr. J. Carstairs, Mr. Darnell, Mr. Frost, and Mr. Stuart, of St. Ann's School, Soho, gave similar testimony. THE LENCOLNSIIISE AND EASTERN COUNTIES RAILIVAY- GRIEVE V. LUIVISDEN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a lithographer, to recover from the defendant, who was a member of the pro visional committee of this railway, the sum of 331/. for maps supplied for the use of the company. The project was one of those of which the autumn of 1845 was so prolific ; but, like the majority of them, the " panic " cut it off in its bloom, leaving most of its debts unpaid, and the directors most unwilling to discharge the remainder. An attempt had been made to get each of them to pay his share of the liabilities, but although a few of them had expressed their willingness to do so, and one or two had paid something, the defendant, who was and is the Lord Provost of Glasgow, had not paid anything towards them. It was proved that the defendant consented to become a member of the committee ; and that several prospectuses containing his name were circulated in the Stock Exchange of Glasgow, which the defendant was in the habit of fre quenting. Prospectuses were gent to him. Moreover, the Clydesdale Bank was appointed the Scotch bank of the com pany at his suggestion. No proof, however, of registration was tendered. Sir F. 'rummest submitted that there was no case to go to the jury; there was no proof of registration, which was absolutely necessary to give ground of action. Mr. Justice ERLE considered that there was not sufficient evidence to go to the jury; but if it went to the jury, and they gave a verdict for the defendant, the plaintiff might tender a bill of exceptions. It appeared, however, that the defendant consented to become a member of the committee, that he took shares, and obtained the appointment of the Clydesdale Bank, with which he was connected, acting in the whole matter, no doubt, to obtain profit. If the verdict was for the plaintiff, he would give the defendant leave to enter a nonsuit, on the ground of insufficient evidence. Sir F. THFSIGER preferred to have the decision of the jury on the matter. He addressed the jury, and contended that the defendant, with about 300 others, simply lent the use of their names to the promoters of the line, Messrs. Loveland and Beckett, solicitors, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, by whom, and by Mr. Smith, the engineer, the plaintiff was employed, but not with the intention of becoming liable, in any way, for the expenses that might be incurred. No proof of registration had been adduced : he had a perfect right, therefore, to assume, that it never was registered, and that, in fact, the company never had any legal existence; besides, the defendant never bad the shares allotted to him for which he applied. It was impassible under such circum stances that they could give a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Justice Eats told the jury that they must not look at the interpretation of the liability of a provisional com mittee-man in 1847, but at the time the defendant joined the project in 1845. It had been considered that a provisional committee-man was liable for the debts contracted by a company, in the same way as a partner in a mercantile firm ; bat the Courts had differed on the question of liability, and the Exchequer Court had, after the most mature deliberation, solemnly decided, that the fact of a man consenting to become a member of a provisional committee was no evidence at all for a judge to submit to a jury that the party who had so consented had thereby given any authority to any person to make contracts, for that company on his account, and for which he was still held liable in law. The defendant had never attended any meet ings of the company, and there was no evidence to show that he took any part in contracting debts. It was for them, as men of common sense and business, to say whether they considered the defendant liable or not. (The jury had not returned their verdict when our report left.) COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of the estminster sittings, the Court took common jury causes. None of them, however, were of any interest except to the parties concerned. SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) John Waller, 18, and Thomas Edger, 16, were indicted for f e l on i ous ly stealing half a pig, the property of Charles Wil kinson, at Horslydown. Thomas West, police-constable, 249 M, said that, on the evening of the 26th ulttimo, he saw the prisoners approach the shop- door of the prosecutor, seize half a pig that was hanging at the door, and run away. lie pursued them, and took them into custody , near Bermondsey Church. Th e prisoners threw the pork into a gateway which they passed, and knocked him down and endeavoured to escape, but another constable came to his assistance, and secured them. In their defence the prisoners said that they picked up the pork in the street, and intended to have delivered it to the inspector at the station-house, but the constable came to them so abruptly, that they were afraid of being taken into custody, consequently they ran away. Thejury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the sentence of the Court was that they be imprisoned in the House of Cor rection for three months each. ASSAULTING A MASTER OF A 'WORKHOUSE. —William Judge, a powerful-looking man, was indicted for having un lawfully assaulted Richard Robinson, the master of St. George's Workhouse, Southwark ; also with threatening his life. The prosecutor said, that on the evening of the 3d inst. the prisoner applied to the board of guardians for relief. Having been often assisted by them to no purpose, and his character being bad, the guardians refused to assist him any more. As soon as he was told so, he rushed into the board ro9m, and swore at the guardians, when he (prosecutor) at tempted to eject him, and in doing so the prisoner struck him onthe back of the neck, felling him to the ground, where he re mained insensible for several minutes. A police• constable, who was in attendance, assisted him, and took the prisoner into custeti v. One of the guardians heard pril , ,ner threaten to mur der Mr. IZobitmn rus w , on r..s be should have bis liberty, and he Lelieved, ui,hthb vw. re6tr.ducd, that he would do 00. In his defence the prisoner said that before he touched Mr. Robinson, the latter threatened to knock him down ~_ • stairs and break his back ; he then pushed him, an6aPftert. wards said that he would do for hint: The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Ch. airman sentenced him to six months' imprisonMent, and at the ex• • piration of the punishment he was ordered to find b.til fv . c twelve months. BOW-STREET.-(THIS AY.) Ellen Donoghue was placed at the bar before D Tr. iar4,l ne, upon a charge of offering in pledge to a pawnbroker - one lal , en and two cambric pocket handkerchiefs, suspected to ha stolen. ,Mr. John Avant, forem,in to Mrs. Newby, pawnbtokef, of Drury-lane, said that on Tu,,, , day , the 2d inst., the prisoner offered the three pocket hang, kerchiefs . She said they were her own propt."tY• produced an pawn. He asked he . r they were linen, and she said yes, they l aw n . lawn— t -As his was ie he un- not the case—two being cambric and y her own, aind told inediately suspected that they were no% and ha d been her so. She said they were her own, her mother's. He told her they co,lid :not be th her her mother's, as they were not marked initial, and she said it was her mother's before she w mar ried. He asked what her mother's maiden namo vra A " she said Burke. The handkerchiefs were marked is, and as it was clear that she did not know them, ho refu44o , t° and " r u e 7 turn them, but kept them in the shop. in the evenini, tul returned with a young woman (now in court) , whom ita.'!"' known as a customer, named Dempsey, who told him thattL' e handkerchiefs were her property, had been given to her by her sister's sweetheart," and were marked with the initials, "S. G." This being also false, he toldl her they could not be her handkel . chiefs, and again refused to ' give them up. The prisoner and Dempsey went away, and'. he saw no more of either of them Jill this morning, when they came together to pawn a gown, He then said they must go down to the station-house to explain the matter, and calling a policeman gave the prisoner in charge. Mary Ann Dempsey, who was evidently A reluctant wit ness, said that on Tuesday evening the prisoner ;told her she had found three pocket-handkerchiefs in the street" and bad taken them to Mrs. Newby's to pawn, and that th,e foreman had refused to give them up. She asked wftnesa to go with her and claim them, which she agreed to do. Mr. JARDINE said that the witness had had a very mirror escape from being sent to prison. The prisoner in defence said that she had picked up tho handkerchiefs in the street. JauDINE said that lie did not believe this story. 11. e believed that the handkerchiefs were stolen, and that the prisoner knew it. He would therefore send her to prison for one month, for having the handkerchiefs in her possession, reasonably suspected to to stolen. He thought the conduct of the pawnbroker in the highest degree lauclableand if all pawnbrokers would act with the same propriety and dis cretion, he would be very well satisfied. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Two pugilists, named Smith and Smirke, were charged with a murderous assault on police-constable Warner, 141 G. On Monday morning the prisoners were pelting snow-balls in Gray's Inn-road, when the constable interfered, as several persons were struck by the snow-balls, upon which the pri soners fell upon and maltreated him in a fri3htful manner, by beating and kicking him about the head, Vid had it not been for the timely arrival of several other covatables, the consequences would have probably been fatal. As it was, the constable was in such a dangerous stets from thein juries he received that he was unable to leave the hospital. Mr. COMM decided upon committing then for trial, but remanded them until the medical gentleman 81001 be in a condition to pronounce Warner out of danger. CALEDONIAN SOCIETY'S ANNUAL BALL. assembly took place last night, at the Queen's Concert Boons, Hanover-square, where a very numerous and highly re— spectable company attended. At one time of the evening' there were upwards of six hundred persons in the room. The dresses were of all nations, but that of the Highlands predominated. Those whose costumes were most admired were Captain Charles Forbes, James Davidson, Charles Davidson, George Bain, D. Brown, G. Hepburn, and Mr. Mouatt, jun. The members of the society were all is the garb, and with the members of the committee of manage— ment were roost attentive to the comforts of their friends and visitors. The rooms were tastefully hung with the dif ferent clan tartans, shields, and spears. Mr. Leigh acted as master of the ceremonies, and Mr. Guineas, with his excellent band, played the most favourite airs. Mr. Angus Mac Kay, her Majesty's piper, attended by the assistant band-master to the boys of the Caledonian Asylum, played choice Strathspeys and reels, and the favourite reel of Tulloch was smartly danced by four gentlemen in the Highland garb. The refreshment department was admi rably arranged, and everybody seemed to have enjoyed a delightful evening. The active and attentive treasurer, Mr. Boucher, was, as usual, very efficient in the performance of his duties. The Total Abstinence Society of Liverpool adopted a new plan of obtaining an audience for their lecture on Tuesday, having offered soup tickets to those who should attend. By this means a goodly concourse assembled to haw the advantages to be derived from total abstinence; and 8A the close of the speeches 433 soup tickets were distributed. Viscount Melbourne entertained Viscount. and Viscountess Palmerston and a select party to dinner on Wed' nesday, at his Lordship's residence in South. street. We read in a letter from Alexandria, Jan. 24 " Since my last letter, announcing the appearance of the cholera in the Heeas and its ravages, we have received other news. On the departure from Aden of the English steams that town enjoyed perfect health, although its suburbs were infected. From Cairo, under date of the 20th ult., we learn' that the Viceroy, in opposition to the advice of the physician Clot-Bey, had ordered the cordon to be closed at Suez and Cosseir, in ordar to prevent the return of the great caravan of pilgrims into Egypt, and had sent provisions and tents to Akaba, where the caravan was directed to stop. Similar precautions had been taken at Cosseir and Suez for th a !)_r'; grims arriving by sea. By these measures the P2..tch hoped to prevent the cholera from entering .EgYPt• a ll c p t i mis however, that alter having made a great number o f . the fell disease had completely cease d. The pilgrims that have already arrived at Alexandria say that when about to perform the usual ceremonies at the tomb of the Prophet, a dreadful wind arose, which continued several days, and caused many persons to die of the disease. The Pacha of Damascus and the Mollah of Mecca were amongst the dead. The authorities had ordered the public criers to :recommend the pilgrims to depart from Mecca, and they all immediately abandoned the place. It is stated that Geda had not been visited by the pestilence." - • NOVEL H oax.—A curious hoax was pl - o"ed off on Mr. George L'avies, of Oldbury, near Bridgno;t:4 last week, by some kind neighbours spreading a report that, lu consequence of the severity of the weather, he had giver* leave to the poor people of the town to gather turnips front one of his fields near the church. The consequence of this was that a fine field of about eight acres of capital swede turnips was densely thronged by parties availing themselves of the opportunity, and it was not till full two acres had been cleared of the crop that the owner was apprised of what was going on. Great was his astonishment, and as great his vexa tion, particularly so as many parties who had benefited thereby informed him that a Mr. Fletcher, a baker, of the New Town, had told them of the matter. Upon that person being applied to he said ho had heard the report, the same as others bad, and had only mentioned it again. Mr. Davies caused twu women to be apprehended, and taken before the magistrates, at their meeting on Saturday, when the case was heard; and as the proceeding bore no felonious intent s the parties, Sarah Adams and Jane Hurst, were severally fined in the sum of 6d. each, and discharged, with a caution in future always to ask leave of the owner previous to again going out on such a Quixotic expedition.—Worcestershire Chronicle. ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN TURKEY.—The cor respondent of a French paper writes from Constantinople on the 20th ult. :—The Sult an y es t er d a y p res id e d a t a sitting of the Supreme Council of Justice, all the Ministers and high functionaries being present. The Sultan himstilf pro posed a measure which will produce a great sense tion in Europe, namely to issue an ord o n nance f or t h e suppression of the slave market. This is nut indeed a suppression of slavery altogether, but it is a first step towards it. The Koran, it is true, admits of slavery,' but it is only in to• lerance, for it at the same time recommends the enfran chisement of slaves as a meritorious action ; and the rich Mussulmans, at their great family festivals, or before set ting out on a long journey, and, indeed, at any important event of their lives, believe they cannot do anything noore agreeable to God than to give a slave his freedom. The , ob stacles to general emancipation arise rather from the cuatimis and manners of the Turks than from religious prejudis ea; and from the mement the Sultan sets the example it meet with ready imitation. The Bey of Tunis has already abolished slavery in his Regency, and Ibrahim Pacha, on his return from Europe, gave freedom to all his slaves, without either of these acts producing the least mark of disapproba tion in the Jiussulman states. All the world knows that in these states the slaves form a part of the family to whiich they belong, and that many reach important statio 05. Two of the present Ministers of 'the Sultan, Koarew Pacha and Hafiz Pacha, are freed slaves, so were the late Govan sor of Trebisond, son-in-law of Sultan Mahmond, Halil Pac ha, Mehemet Reschid Pacha, Commander-in-Chief of the army of Arabia, and many others. The mother of the Sultan gird all his wives were Circassian or Georgian slaves who h was been enfranchised. The whole questions turns on this po int, that no man can hold a right over the freedom of a fellow creature." DEATH IN THE STREET.—Yesterday, Mr. G. I. Mills held an input at the Churchill Arms, Kensington, on the body of Elizabeth Jeffreys, aged fifty-two years, veto was found on Sunday night, opposite the residence of the Princess Sophia, apparently in a dying state. It ap peared that the deceased was a widow, carrying on the b oat ness of a laundress, at N 0.13, Camden-street, Kensingte.n Gravel-pits. Abo ut nine months ago she broke a blood vessel, from the effects of which she was believed to hawe recovered. On Sunday last she left home at eleven o'clett in the forenoon, to go and see her married daughter at Wool wich. She left there late in the evening, and came troll town in an omnibus to Kensington Church, and was Beet about twenty minutes to twelve o'clock at night sitting in Church-lane, opposite the Princess Sophia's residence, on the kerb. stono. She appeared very ill, and complained c( pain in her chest.
