Spite, against, whom? agaitiet what he (Mr. Shaw) was pleased to call the Landlords of Ireland. He (Mr. Roebuck) did not know who the landlords of Ireland were; he had never been able to dis tinguish or to 'earn who those gentlemen were. For his part be thought that the real landlords ot Ireland were the tax gatherer and the mortgagee. Now, he never expressed any opinion against the tax gatherer or against the mort gagee. He was perfectly aware that there were many persons in Ireland called landlords, who fancied themselves t sbe proprietors of land, but who had not the M4ates - of supporting the dignity belonging to their station, as such; and-he (Mr. Roebuck) had often suggested that such Friona should be removed from their false position, which they occupied as merely nominal proprietors of land in lrelana. is order that Ireland might be disencumbered from those who were hanging, like a dead weight, upon her energies ar} resources, and allow the real proprietors of her land at WfWee to he called into activity and exertion, and be trade insieirriental in promoting the interests which they posses ed in thathsountry. What did the House, however, now gropuse to do. Ile. would venture to say that, upon the pre- Newt occasion, flies -et were two separate questions before the Rouse, and two really different and distinct things spoken of by Hon. Gentlemen who had spoken upon those questions. Some llon. Gentlemen said " Oh, we are agreed upon all things except upon the principle ot out-door relief ;" and then directly some other Hon. and frith Member would get up and Intake a speech against all poor-laws whatever. If the House would peamit him, he would dwelt fo: a few moments on these circumstances, and then say a word or two with respect to the real feelings of Honourable Gentlemen opposite, 'What was it then that t't e House was endeavouring to do? and - what was the snide in s. hich it was proposed to bsing about the end it hail in vice ? At the present moment there appeared to b. in IreLnd a resat kahle collision -of classes large masses of her lahaeriag preulation were not subsistng upon wages our t:Toney-I for thelr subsistence upon their small holdings of By a peculiarity connected with that country the laud:eels -,have been induced to divide their propel ty into itanutue.robie small potions, and the result 0, theta ineintessimt! division of holdings would be, twat it anythirig like what had h espened last year alituld occur again, the same disastrous results would take place as bad marked the history of Ireland during the wiresant year. A lore multande of ;tenons were deeendent upon these small p itches of land for their maintenance and sup port, and if a failure should take place, tar aophine title a gone ral calantity creme teem the people, a gefterel and universal famine was the result. There wes also :another peculiarity at tached to these small holdings of land, which was, the agrarian distuebanees which always overspread the country. These dis:utb , noes arose entirely out of these small holdings. It was mor beesesee one portion of ths people were starving and another was out, that agrarian diatuthances t Ark place. It was because ehee.eemali holdings of land were essentially necessary for the exigence of the people. Tee law had flat been their protector, and the coasequance had been that the people had had recourse to every species and system of self-defence for the purpose of nasintaiiiing their holdings. But they had been driven to this by dire neces-ity ; the very exigencies of their condition had driven them to attempt a stand avinst the tyranny of their imperious landlords, who tractile upon every slight eteteece, and upon the must ins' lcient grounds to eject them from their holdings. Thor were not so iu England, And why ? The poor man knew ftfll well that there was a poor house and a hoer-law to atlerd him shelter. In Ireland, on the contrary, the poor man sew death—nothine but death setting him and his family in the face, and he was compelled out suf dire necessity to fall back upon some means of self-defence. by which they could maiwain their holdings against the do. iminatioti of their landlords, and hence it was that conspiracies spread from one end of the country to the other, ar.d threats tram shore to shore. Hence it was that numerous combine• thins had been formed for the purpose of carrying out this wild spirit of justice, and the instruments or assassins of the combinations hail been brought from the north and from the south in order to carry into execution the wild determlnations of gongs of secret conspirators. What was their object ? It was nothing more than to maintain the p tor man upon his holding, an i to protect him by a species of wild justice in the absence of milder forms of law against the imperious domi nation of the merely nominal proprietors of the soil. Such was condition of the large labouring population of Ireland, mad unless England stepped in and brought some measure to hear upon this state of things, such would continue to be their wretched condition. And the same wild spirit of justice, and unhappy, and unchristian mode of maintaining the means of that existence would continue. The Hon,e would, however, by the adoption of the proeored measure bring the people under the mild spirit of the law, and mike the property of Ireland the oneens of providing for the exis . ence of the poor, insure a is irit of mildness, gentleness, en.] subservience to tire law, in place of the conspiracies, and the ill-feelings, and the secret 'societies which previously existed. Who were the ac cusers of these righteous measures? The landlords of Ireland. It was a 'Roble sight to see the land lords of Ireland laving aside their personal censide rations, putting aside all their feelings of aggrandisement, and devoting themselves to the improvement of the condition of the people, but there was not a more d egra di ng or a ire debasing sight in than to see thee. eh() were rich in this world's goods banded toeetle r for purposas of det , tice and aggression against .hr, poor, and bringing to hear all the power which their station and intellect could command, to crush is hat should be considered by all right-thieking per one a' the rights of the poor. Could he riot then ask the House to look upon this picture and upon that. The people of ErraWand asked that a inw equal to that which exisied in Fe - wised should be passed for Ireland. He would not be told that that which was bene- Sieent legisla ion eir the poor in England would be the ruin of Ireland.

Indeed. wit it Ireland was talked about by them, Ireland - meant not"), re; mo-e nor less than Irish lan Borth., and because they were celled upon to fulfil those duties their property imposed upon them, they declared that Ireland was being ruined.—(hear, hear, and laughter.) Now, far from its being ruined, Ireland was just in a condition when it was most likely to advance in the progress of civilisation.—( Hear, hear.) Ireland, according to Irish Members, had been retrograding since the Union, but he had lately seen more and better pigs and cattle imported into Liverpool than were brought - from Ireland twenty years ago. -The fact was, Ireland had improved within the last ten or twenty- years mole than any other country in Europe, and it was well known that those who had a bright and fair prospect before there invariably complained more than those who were sunk into the depths of degradatien.—( Hear, hear.) One Hon. Gentleman had that afternoon told them that the Irish landlords had made presentments of two sums of 86,000/. and 68,000 i., being "23. in the pound of the whole rental of the country ; but who paid the money? Why, the English Exchequer; so that it was England that paid equal to 2s. in the pound of the rental el the country. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN—Yes ; but the money is to be re-- paid. Mr. ROEBUCK never trusted such repayments. One shilling pkid down was worth twenty shillings promised. Then, again, it was said the landlords were ruined. An How. MEMBER.—No, no.

And did they not show that the good of Ireland was to be found, not in those hollow-hearted coalitions and interested coreederations, but in the good sense of the English and Scotch people on this side of the Channel? He felt every hour the pressure from without with regard to the condition of that country; He fottnd that froth every red of the country they *ete anted how it was that a representa tive assembly like that—representing the working millions of this great country—threw their shield over those who deserted the duties of their situation, and abandoned the unfortunate beings who had an undeniable cleim on, theie neoleritioii ased support.—( Kea% beer.) The Right Hon. Gentleman, the Member for the University of Dublin. h a d b ee n casti n g bout for the motives which influenced him (Air. Roebuck) in ex posing the criminal delinquency of the landlords of Ireland, and set his conduct down to popularity hunting. He would not stop to notice these imputations. He did not deny ! , , enat ne sought his country's approbation, and he thought he would take the most successful steps to obtain it. by imposing a stringent pooralaet on Iselalid, that would make the 1 Jellords of tool country understand their own interest, and discharge their duties to - their destitute poor.—( Hear, hear.) He would ask the Hon. Gentleman ( the Recorder for Dublin) to meet any portion of his countrymen, and he (Mr. Roebuck) would meet any portion of h:s on this subject, and he had no hesita tion in saying that net a man in any town of England would be fatted who would dare to oppose such a proposition.—( Hear, hear.) And yet one half of it only had been sought to be sanctioned by that House; a partial application of it was merely proposed, at present ; but as sure as the sun would rise to-morrow—and he had no doubt of that— ( Laughter) a long time would not elapse before that measure would be carried out in all its entirety —a mea sure which was a great act of justice due to the Irish people— due to them from England which had too long neglected and suffered their just rights to be withheld, and had too long fostered the pernicious system which had tended to demoralise them, and generate those social and moral evils to which Ire land was now a prey.—( Hear, hear.) And as he eel hope that the real benefit which he anticipated from this measure would be worked out for the country, he would support the proposition of the Noble Lord, and it should be his future object to show how inadequate for the relief of the present evils of Ireland was that proposition, which he would now most cordially support.—( Cheers. ) Colonel VERNER disapproved of the measure.: It proposed to be a Bill for the relief of the Irish, but he believed it would create greater. far greater evils than it purported to remove. Mr. 'AI. J. O'CONNELL said be was anxious to offer a few observations in reply to the statements of many Hon. Members who had addressed the House, as he understood it was not the wish of the House that the debate should be adjourned.— (Ctles of " Hear, hear. " ) What he complained of Was, no that litleobrable Gentlemen in this country sapeteled this poor-law for Ireland and sought the approbation of their contitrymen in doing so, but that in the discharge of that duty they were in the habit of introducing topics—and the system was very prevalent amongst the party of which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman for Bath was a member—for the sole purpose of aspersing Irish lanolords.— ( Hear, hear.) That was all he complait ed of, as he had, after the most mature deliberation. come to the conclusion that the measure was one which it was his duty to support. But the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had been guilty of much in justice. First, he had spoken harshly of the conduct of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Recorder of Dublin (Mr. Shaw). He (Mr. M. J. O'Connell) had, during the greater period of his life, opposed the principles of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, but for nothing did he respect him so much as for his conduct on the Irish questions. which had come under the consideration of the House during the present session. He respected him because he believed he had acted conscientiously, od because he considered he was promoting the advantage of itelan w d i b tl y t the the _ttitilrse and h he had adopted. awnhoerthaegrretlesdeywdtithf ti him, he alike censured them ; in feet, he was an apt illustration I of the drummer, who. finding the soldier whom he was punish ing did not relish its infliction exclaimed, " Strike high or low, nothing will please you." Though a men differed with him in opinion, he should not use harsh terms towards him. Then he attacked the lion. Member for Limerick for the observations he made, that he and others intended to vote against certain portions of the measure, which was most unjust, when it was borne in mind that both the Honourable Member for Limerick ( Mr. S. O'Brien) and be, in tended to vafe in favour of the out-door clauses. The question of rating divided itself into three bra aches—rating upon unions, upon electoral divisions, and upon smaller portions of property. lie had heard many statements during the course of the debate, but he confessed he had heard nothing which de served the definition of argument. He was in favour of the tenth clause, which propesad union rating, and when the pro per time vrived, he should be ready to state his reasons for doing so; but if Hon. Gentlemen could show him that rating I smaller districts would benefit good landlords. and not lead to i the confiscation of property, he should not hesitate to alter his opinion. Many Hon. Members, in speaking on out-door, reli .f, had made most extraordinary statements. There were two ' provisions in the Bill —one for out-door relief to the helpless poor, and, second, for affording the same relief to the able • bodied, which was opposed by many Hon. Gentlemen; but if either clause was to he viewed with apprehension—it was the first —as there was considerable danger of its adding mate rially to the heats?, burdens already imposed on land, and of i opening a door of immorality and fraud. The Irish party who had been styled the " happy family," had come to the concha ; sion to oppose the clause which proposed to afford out-door relief, for which he could not help exp essitig his regret. It was clear the calamity which had visited Ireland, would not pass soon away, and tin refore it was their duty to give a greater amount of aid to the poor than they had heretofore given. It was cheaper to pay rates than to allow a continuance of the existing distress. ' To restrict it as much as possible to those who are bedridden, i helpless, aril maimed from other causes. On the first clause he had this objection. Such he aught say of the second clause; but he was glad to say that there was a much better spirit than had of late prevailed. It might be all very well for the Hon. Member for Bath to say that they only agreed when there was something to be got, but he was happy to say that on the pre sent occasion the agreement was for something to be gotten for Ireland, and he thought it was something worse than charity to raise up the questions of .sectarian differences and allege against them those differences. He regretted that such a proposition had ever been made , but if he talked of them, he would look i to the propositions of that Hon. Member with regard to India. 1 / 2 With g re a t reseect for his talents, he still could not help feel , log that if the same principle had been adopted with regard to Ireland, that he would come to a very different conclusion. Mr. CALLAGHAN would not enter into the several euestions which had been in' roduced to the House ou the one before the House. He would simply confine him elf to the matter stated by the Noble Lord with respect to the relief to be granted to the able •hodied poor outside of the house ; and with regard to that he was desirous only of expressing his opi -1 nion as to the power to be given by the House to the Magis trates for granting that relief. In his opinion that power was excessive; and he deeply regretted that any such power had been conceded. For his own part, he cou d not hut conceive that such power would be mischievous in the extreme, and likely to do anything than be of service to the Irish people. He would take the liberty of saying to tne Noble Lord at the head of the Government that he (the Nob'e Lord) hail not given any one reason why he should increase the ex-officio guardians. It might be very true to say that electoral divisions ought to be taxed, but the truth was, that these divisions sent into the towns the great bulk of their paupers. It was the great object in Ireland to send away their paupers. The No ble Lord, to provide for this, said, that when the rate exceeded Is. 3d. in the pound, the excess should be chargeable upon the general union. The Noble Lord ought to knew that the rate could never reach that height unless upon the occasion of a general famine like the present lie thought that the rates for the poor ought to conic as a general charge on the country, and then the rate-payers would have a better control over the rasing and expending of the money. He adjured the Noble Lord not to listen to the voice of one party or the other, and not to gi:e to any but the rate , payers the power of taxing for the relief of the poor. Sir A. BROOKE wished to give his reasons for not giving his assent to the measure proposed by the Noble Lord. lie thought that the systematic plan of having 80J,000 or 900,00 U people maintained out of doors by public works was one most dangerous and fatal to the interest , and cnaracter of the Irish people. He did not see any rtcurity that the pone woule derive, by their main enance from the Irish property generally He would, it the Noble Lord c.iu•d satisfy turn on these two points, he ve-y much disposed to support the measure before the Houi , e, out otherwise tie should feel justifieit in cp. posing it. lie considered the present time was not the proper time for such attacks as those made by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath. whose speeches contrasted most unfavour ably with the calm and temperate address of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland, and the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, in his statement of Friday night last. Lord JOHN RUSSELL begged leave to explain a point which had been omitted in his statement of Friday night last, and to which his attention had been drawn by, a note he had received from Lord Monteagle. In the interview he had had with the deputasion of Irish gentlemen when the subject of the relief of the poor was brought under his (Lord John Russell's) attention, they statsd that they were wiliing to bear any expense that might be required for the extension and erection of workhouse ac,:ommodation, so as to admit or in door relief to the pour. His answer at the time was, that he did not think the suggestion capable of being practically eacried into effect.—( Hear. ) ••--The House then went into Committee pro forma, and ob tained leave to sit again on Friday next.

After a few words from Mr. AcKLawo and Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN in support of the nsesture, Sir J. YA RDE BULLER hoped that the Hon.

Abstracted from the millions of the land, what a sorry remainder would you leave! What were the hind without you? If you are the base of the -ociety, bow broad is that base! of what moment that it should be s , auldl—Rowland Hill has found out the secret for rendering it so, and for pre serving it so.

They wished you a kind good morning at the General Post office! —Justice !—but it was politely done. There is nothing for you, or next to nothing—a mighty spirit of gratitude!—a sprinkle of a few thousands of pounds ! when the tithe of a million might have been raised for you, in mere penny beads, and not the pocket of a contributing errand-boy perceptibly the lighter! But there was nothing flashy, Rowland Hill, about your achievement! It cost neither treasure, nor blood and sweat! It was announced by no brawling of gazettes! —it was celebrated by no public rejoicings—the blustering of cannon, fireworks, illuminations. It shook not the world with the struggles of its mighty birth !—though for ages it will do what it has already done—worlds of good! It came upon us as softly as a sheet of French letter-paper falls to the ground. not making any noise at all ! Never, dear Rowland Hill—we use the epithet in hearty earnest—never was public testimonial botched and bungled, so lamentably, as yours! Thoughtlessness, apatly and stu pidity, must have foisted themselves upon your friends, as the promoters of it. There ought to have been arranged a simultaneous demonstration of thanks to you, in every city, town, village and hamlet throughout the United Kingdom! If we have heard aright the compliment cost something short of twenty thousand. Why, Landon alone might have paid the shot, for the rest of the empire, without doing any thing to wag its head for, after all ! But, Rowland Hill, we fear you want the knack. You may have the talent, the be nevolence, the patriotism to plan and suggest a benefit—per haps one of the most important that a country ever received from the services of a single man ; but, we suspect, you lack the cunning, to know, that patriotism, benevolence, and talent., nlust, either directly or indirectly, bestir themselves —and thoroughly too, to secure their due reward—or be con tent to go without it.

GERMAN RAILWAYS.—RaiIway communication is proceeding rapidly in Germany. Next year the line will he complete between Cologne and the extreme frontier of the East, North. and South of the Germanic Confederation. Vienna, Breslaw, Berlin, and llamburgh are now connected together by a continuous railway. The Augsburg Gazette inti,rms us that a meeting has just taken place between the directors of the different railway companies possessing this vast range of lines. Between Vienna and Stettin there is a distance of 225 French leagues, and between Vienna and Hamburgh 250 leagues. This is the greatest extent that a railway line has yet run. The various directors have agreed on an arrangement of de partures in correspondence with each other, so that the dis tance between Vienna and Hamburg may be cleared in forty• eight hour=, comprising stoppages, and betwee n Vie n na and Stettin f !Hy hours. The trait leaves Vienna at seven in the evening, and arrives at Breslaw the next day about noon, and leaves B res l aw at f our o ' c l o Ck , an d arr i ves at Berlin at five in the morning; it leaves again at sn'en for Harnhurg and Stettin. The back train leaves Hamburg at one in the afternoon, and Stettin at four; it reaches Berlin at nine at night, leaves again at eleven, arrives at Breslaw next day at eleven, and at Vie n n a t h e secon d d ay at seven in the morning. Tne works on the southern line--froth Vienna to Trieste—are proceeding rapidiy. When this line is finished, travellers may book thetn,elves from Hamburg to Trieste.

SCHAMYL, THE CIRCASSIAN CHIEF. We extract the following account of Schamyl, the chief of the Circassians, from a letter dated Constantinople, 17th ult., in the Univers:— "It is said that the power of Schamyl Bey is on the in crease. Circassia, in place of ceasing the unequal struggle in which she has been engaged for so many years, appears, on the contrary, to find new resources in the courage and the alliance of the surrounding tribes. The Caucasus has be come the refuge and the rampart of all the mountaineers who defend their ancient liberties ; and such is the general cce - ti dence In the future, that this military ieader is already con sidered as the founder of a monarchy around which the popu lations of Georgia, Armenia. and Daghestan are to be grouped. Russia has no longer to put down a partial revolt. The point for her is now to hold firmly against a rising and creating power, which opposes numerous and strong nationalities to her own. Tlge vague reports collected relative to Schamyl represent him as an able and fortunate w‘.rg ior, surroueded with_ a court, and possessing a warlike army, itsciplined by Polish refugees in the European mariner. Oa Fridays, public prayers are offered up for his safety—a Mussultnan ceremony to honour of Royalty. Money is struck with. his mark. We do not say his effigy, for the poverty of the country does not permir the use of metal for money. but only of leather, which, however, is received in all placei where his authority extends, and is even prefltred to Russian money. Schamyl is of middle height, well-made, and of a robust constitution which enables hint to support with ease all kinds of fatigue; continually on horseback, at the head of a chosen band of determined troops, composed of Polish laneers a Cossack hulans, be never ap- pears but with the ornaments of his rank anO in full uniform ; liberal to profusion, he distributes all tire booty with those who share his dangers; fond of literature, he has around his person ports who celebrate his triumphs in popular songs ; prompt to coh . ceive plans of strategy and at more so to execute them, he flies from one extremity of his territory to the other, and falls on the Russian outposts with therapidity of lightifing, and after occasioning them serious loss, returns to his impregnable mountains or flies to other dangers. His batteries of artillery are numerous and complete, and each piece is a trophy which has cost the enemy dear. •''ussulman enthusiasm surrounds him with a religious respect; but he, with an elevated and tolerant spirit,leaVes to all his soldiers as well as to thepopula tions under his authority, the free and full exercise of their worship. Liberty in this respect contrasts to a , lvantageouslt for him with . the religious despotism of the Russiam Go vernment, that it has gAned him the sympathies of all the Christians persecuted by the official church of the Emperor." THE BUSH PEOPLE FROM SOUTHERN AFRICA. These living types of a race, perhaps one of the lowest in the scale of humanity, and now becoming rapidly extinct, offer a subject of the greatest interest, alike to the man of science, the student in human physiology, and the curious, as being the first living specimens of this singular variety of the great human family—the Ishmaels of the African continent, who have ever been induced to visit the abodes of civilised man, and for descriptions of whom, we have hitherto been entirely dependent up ,n the testimony of the few travellers who have visited their desolate and far-off region. To the student in phrenology, these Bush people offer an especially interesting study, as affording strong corroborative evidence in sueport of the now almost universally-admitted truths of that science. The heads of this singular group, and a skull of one of their fellews, in the possession of the gentle man who has brought them to this country, exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual and higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the baboon; while the preponder ance of the animal is almost equally great. There is, how ever, a marked superiority of phrenological development in the mother of the child born on their passage to this country, over any of her companions, and she exhibits a much greater degree of intelligence than either; while we learn from their guardian that she is a most excellent mother, kind and affectionate in her disposition, and exceed ingly docile; the others, on the contrary, being very self willed and difficult to manage. The kindness, however, with which they have been treated since their arrival does not by any means appear to have been thrown away, as they seem perfectly happy and contented, and on the receipt of an orange or other trifle, exhibit the liveliest emotions of gratitude, by kissing the hand of the donor, and manifest ii,g other unequivocal signs of pleasure. They were fairly in toxicated with delight on the two females being presented with a necklace each, by one of the company present, com posed of round metal buttons, and a smaller one for the child—the females exhibiting all that passionate love of adornment which seems inherent in the breast of every dauehter of Eve, whether civilized or savage; and the males scarcely less so, in the speechless admiration with which, so decked, they appeired to regard their spouses. We may mention that they are natives of the country bortierita.:. the great Orange River, in the interior of Africa, 1,200 to 1,400 miles from Cape Town ; and their supposed ages vary between thirty and fifty, the mother of the child beii,e the oldest of the group. They have picked up a few word of English and Dutch ; but their intercourse with theh guardian is chiefly carried on by pantomimic signs. Their own language appears to be singularly barren, exceed. ingly harsh and unpleasant to the ear, and used with much gesticulation. Its most remarkable feature is, that mingled with the articulate tones, and the gutturals and nasals, are some inarticulate clicks or clucks, produced by the tongue being struck against different parts of the mouth, so as to produce an audible sound not easily described 0: paper, but varying in depth with the part of the mouth from which the tongue is struck. The stature of these people is another peculiarity; the two couples are consldereo as of two quite different tribes, though both speak the same language; but their is a striking difference in their stature. The larger couple are about. five feet three inches in height ; the smaller not more than four feet, and these suggest the ideas of the " pigmies" of the ancients. The grange mix ture of the Mongolian, Malay, and Negro in their charac teristic form and features is very striking; and while they seem but little elevated in the chain of being above the ba boon and the chimpanzee, we learn that the tall and athletic Kafir flies from one of these diminutive creatures with the greatest terror—for their want of physical strength is com pensated by their skill in the use of poisoned arr.ws, a wound from one of which is almost always mortal. These creatures are continually smoltng the wild hemp of' their country-4 plant from which they also obtain the poisonous juice in which they dip their arrows. They go through a sort o; performance; all four dancing one of their national dances, which somewh.it resembles those of the North Americab Indians, especially in its being conducted and regulated by s double stroke of the hand, as a substitute for a tom-tom or dram. The two men display their mode of stealing on their foes, and certainly it must be no pleasant thing to see a man stealthily prowling in your neighbourhoood with a poisoned arrow fitted to the string—waiting only till you give him ay opportunity of stealing upon you unperceived, to send the death-shaft on its flight. As a variety of the race of mat never before Seen in England, we recommend a visit to the-i 1 Bush people. • The works on the Avignon to Marseilles Itailwa) are approaching their termination.

On Sunday morning he left home, arid between twelve and one o'clock on that day the report of a pistol was heard in Epping Forest, between Chigwell and Woodford. On some persons proceeding to the spot, they found the deceased lying upon the ground, with blood flow ing from his mouth, and by his side a pistol, recently dis charged. He was removed to the Crooked Billet, where a surgeon attended, who found that the deceased had put the pistol into his mouth and fired, the ball passing through the larynx and lodging in the neck. Although so seriously in jured, the deceased lingered until Wednesday, when he died. All that was found on his person was two duplicates, a half penny, a pair of gloves, and a letter addressed to Lord Dudley Stuart, thanking the Noble Lord for the part he had taken in trying to obtain the regeneration of Poland, which he (the writer) despaired of seeing ever carried into effect.

This cadse came on for futher directions on petition. It appeared that the phi:dill' entered into an agreement with a Mr. Colquitoun for the puchase of ciaetain leasehold and free hold estates in the county of Norfolk, which were liable to Certain incumbranccs. One of the incumbrancers'.was the present defendant, who was the personal representative of Mr. Colquhoutt. The plaintiff was put in possession of the property ; bur Mr. Colquhoun having become embarraed, was obliged to leave the country before any conveyanc, .was executed, and in two years afterwards Joy filed a bill, in w hich he alleged that the purchase-money, instead of 95.000/., the sum paid by the plaintiff in the present suit 110,00 Ci., and that he (Jay's) annuity of 3001. per annum, was not redeeMable; theref,re that he was entitled to its payment, together with the interest which had accrued, which was te, , is:ed by Birch. The bill of the defendant came before the Court in 1830, and his Honour decreed that his anruity had ceased in 1824. In 1831 this decree was con firmed by the then L. rd Chancellor, but in 1836 was altered by the House of Lord.., who directed that Joy should have a reference to the Master, to ascertain what lien or claim he had on the purchase money. The Master's report, in 1841, found that the estate was liable to certain incumbrances, among the rest, to the annuity of Joy, and 5,6001. also' due to him. Mr. Bethel!, Q.C., mid Mr. Parker were heard to-day for he plaintiff. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WES TE MCC/ T.—Dorchester, March 12. FILLILER V PHIPPARD. This was a spec►al jury case, and rather a singular action. It was brought to recover damages for the injury sustained by the plaintiff through the carelessly lighting and burning a fire on the defendant's close. called Cary's Heath that the fire spread to the ad joining land of the plaintiff, and destroyed a great many trees and otherwise damaged the premises of the plaintiff. Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. Barston appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Stock conducted the case for the defendant. Mr. CROWDER, in opening the case to the jury, stated that he should prove that the plaintiff's residence ad ;oined a heath of the defendant's called Cary's Heath, near Wareham, and that the defendant's shepherd, a man of the name of Watts, lighted a fire for the purpose of burning the heath tind furze on Cary's Heath so carelessly that the flame spread, and did considerable damage to a number of trees, &c., in an ornamental plantation belonging to the plaintiff. The amount of )he actual damage dine was about 201., 'but the plaintiff would scarcely be compensated for the injury which he had sustained by 1001., .and in all probability the property, if sold, would fetch less by that suit) than it would if the fire had not taken place. He would prove the negligence chiefly by two facts :—First, by showing that no suffi cient belt had been made around the heath and furze which were to be burnt, by removing a portion .of the surrounding furze, so as to preveni. the flame from spreading, as was usual and proper in such cases ; and s-condly, by showing that there was no one to assist Watts in the event of any accident occurring, as there ought to have been according to the course invariably adopted in such cases. _ _ _ The plaintiff's case being concluded, Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE submitted that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, as there was no evidence that Watts burnt the heath by the authority of the defendant. Mr. CROWDER submitted that there was enough to go to the jury, as it was proved that Watts was a labourer in the employ of the defendant, and his shepherd. M.. Justice CRESSWELL slid that he would not stop the case, but that he should reserve leave for the de seridaut to enter a nonsuit as in the present stage of the !guise, and without reference to any evidence which the defendant might produce. Mr. CaowDEa was quite willing that the defendant ,hould have leave to enter a nonsuit generally, but would not consent to any cAßlition sought to be imposed by the Learned Judge. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he would consult Mr. Justice Williams as to what course he ought to adopt. The Learned Judge then withdrew fur the purpose of consulting with Mr. Justice Williams, and on his r.-turn he stated that that Learned Judge was of opinion that the case ought to he general, and not with reference merely to the plaintiff's evid..nce. lie should adopt the course recommended by Mr. Justice Williams. Mr. Serfreant KINGLAKE then addressed the jury for he defence, and called Watts and other innkeepers for the purpose of showing that the damage was not the result of negligence, but of inevitable accident. The defendant's witnesses assessed the damage at only 71. The case for the defence clearly proved that Watts , 00k the heath as the agent of the detbinlant. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL having summed up, The jury, atter considerable consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 71. NORTHERN CIRCI 7 IT.—York, March 11. CRDWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE) • The day's proceedings on the Crown side did nut ier ninate until a late hours all the afternoon and evening )eieg occupied in the trial of . BURGLARY.— William liempsall, 38, was indicted for having, on the 22d of last December, at Stillington, tear York, .burglariously entered the dwelling-house of. ilarry Croft, and stolen therefrom 200 sovereigns, a sheque for 1701, and other articles. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and' Mr. Dearsley were coun .el fur the prosecution ; and Mr. Bliss, with whom was sir. Overt,nd, defended the prisoner. The Learned COUNSEL, in opening the case, s'.ateclthat m the night of Tuesday, the' 22d of December dart, Colonel Croft was the last person up in his house ; and ,bout half-past eleven o'clock on that night it would be hown to them that the wirviuws and doors of the hall lure fastened before the different members of the family .etired to rest. On the following morning it was found hat a burglary had been cernmitted, and that about 2001. in gull, together with a cheque for 170/, and some lothes of the colonel, bad been taken away, and that .ome clothes belonging to the other members of the ',tinily had been strewed about on the floor, tad likewise is the garden. The evidence, he was round to state, was almost purely circumstantial, and when they had that evidence, it would be for them to ety, whether the prisoner was the guilty party or not. the prisoner had lived in the service of Colonel Croft as utter for some length of time, which service he left on he 22d o. November last. During the time he was in hat service he had frequent opportunities of seeing end tnowing where Colonel Croft kept his cosh. After the prisoner left his service he was for a considerable length of time out of a situation, and for some time prior to the iurglary exhausted all his funds, and was reduced, in pint et feet, to a state of poverty. Upon the 22d of Jecember last the prisoner went to a person named ti,ohert Horsley, who is the ostler at Eldridge's Hotel, vhich hotel the prisoner well knew Colonel Croft was in he habit visiting when lie came to York, and he iieretore made man; inquiries of Horsley as to who was 'eying at Stillington and he was informed that et person was at the hall but the colonel. In the after soon of thet day the prisoner me t a coachman named t t lames Newby and a police-officer, to whomhat tet el was going to the town of Sheffield, by the three e''elnek rain. That statement, however, was not true, for at fou,' .'clock he was seen at Dawson's public-house, near to ae York Railway station. At that horse he saw a ser • ant named Ann Marsh, to whom he gave his carpet pig, a hat-box, and an umbrella. Between nine and en o'clock the same night he went again to Dawson's, .00k up the articles which he had left, and went away and left York on the fallowing morning, by the halt esst five o'clock train. Stillington Hall is about ten elides from York, so that, bearing in mind that between dne and ten o'clock he left Dawson's, and left York at ;elf past five the next morning, they would perceive . 'tat he would have ample and sufficient time to go to itiliington Hail, and have committed the burglary with which he stood charged. He is next shown to be at aheffield, somewhere about half-past eight o'clock. The :'risoner, on arriving at that town, engaged a eab of a .can named Yates, and ordered him to drive to a person lamed Sanderson, whose house is situated in the Wicker. tie got out of ate cab there, amid presented to Sanderson in air-gun, with the following remarkable and strict in jenction I give you this gun, but you must not let any living soul know that I gave it to you." That gun e longed to Colonel croft. After that the cabman drove 'sim to the shop of Messrs. Levi, clothes dealers (and he :eight here state that the prisoner had a day or two tefore been heard to say that he was pennilesss, and that he had not money enough to pay for a glass of ale), where he bought a coat for the sum ot 21. 155., a frock coat for 4/. 10s., and a shooting ;eat for 21. 15s. 6d. These things, it would be ?roved, he paid for in gold. There was another ._ircumstance to . which he would call their atten tion. Mr. Henry Levi, of whom the prisoner bought hose articles, observed that he (the prisoner) had a very Earge sum of money in gold, namely, two or three hun. 'fired sovereigns, which certainly were very likely to at tract the attention of Levi. A portion of the articles which the prisoner ordered were not complete, and he said he would call again for them, and on being asked his name he answered " Wells." On leaving the shop, he told the cabman to drive him to a person named Peace, a groom, residing at 7, Smith-street, and having arrived there, he paid the man for the cab, and gave him sixpence for himself. When he got to the house of Peace he appeared to be very much tired and jaded, and on being asked what gave him that appearance, he stated that he came to Sheffield the previous 'tight at so late an hour that he did not like to disturb them, and had passed the night in some very improper company. He sat down and fell asleep several times during the day, and it was observed that his shoes were very dirty, and appeared as if he had been travelling on some very dirty roads. He retired to bed at the Mermaid public house between ten and eleven o'clock that night, and on the following morning he was apprehended in bed by a police-officer, and on being examined 17s. 6d. was found in his possession, and upon the cor ner of the window was found five sovereigns in gold. l'he prisoner denied that they were his. The chamber meid, however, said that could not be the case, as she palled the blind down, and had the gold been there at chat time she must have seen it. ',These were all the circumstances of the case which he (the Learned Ser geant) had to lay before them, an d it would be for them to say, under all those circumstance:, w hether the pric k simer way the person who commit ted the blurglary with which he stood indicted. Colonel Croft was then cared, who stated that on the morning of the 22d of December last he discovered that the hell had been entered b y the drawing-room window, which might be easily effected, on secount of the in secure fastening of the window ehirttrs. Several other witnesses were examined; after which, Mr. Buss addressedahe jury on behalf of the prisoner, anti submitted that it was improbable, nay, almost Im possible, that the house at Stallington could have been entered from the outside. He did .not wish to throw any imputation on the servants of Colonel Croft, but if suspicion alone was to be brought against the un fortunate prisoner at the bar, suspicion. and very great suspieion, might reasonably be ati ached to parti-•s who lived in the house of that gentleman. lie also suggested that it .was not improbable that some person might have secreted himself in the hall lb : fore dusk, and after. the domestics had retired to bed committed the robbery. lie then commented on t! • • appearance of the dining-room the morning after the robbery, and treated it as an oFtentatious sort of a bur glery. He did not deny that a burglary had hen eern mitted, nor did he ny that, a orcut sum of money had be , H.l taken. away by tie nurghir, but centended th.,t this ‘,/,s aL esse of swicion against the prisoner, and that, under all the circumstances, it would only be fair of the jury to acquit his client of , so serious a charge. As to the air-gun, he did not think that it presented such a strong ease against the prisoner as it at first sight ap peared. It might nave easily been placed in his carpet bag, er he might have had it in his possession at the ;nue he was at Dawson's, and it might have.esca,ped the observat•on of the witness Ann Marsh. With respect to the large amouet of money which the prisoner was said to have at the clothes shop of the Jew, the Learned Counsel thought it was impossibi • for any person to judge of the sum of money a man had in his po:sessien by the jingle in his pocket or its apparent weight.. The Learned Counsel then commentud on the evidence of a tine of the witnesses with much severity, and, in con elusion, urged upon the jury to acquit his client, as the whole case was woun : up in TT)) stery and doubt. The Learned JUDGE then summed up the evidence with great minuteness, when the jury consulted together for a short time, and return, d a verdict of Nat Guilty. This prisoner is still detained in custody and will be tried on another charge, that of larceny, connected with the same transaction. oftwOOMSM II,4 . March 12. Mr: Sergeant Murphy sat to-day in the magistrates' room, and there tried some of the prisoners. Ann G arb ut, aged 20, was iadicted for having, at South ampton, on the 30th of January last, endeavoured to con ceal the birth of her illegitimate child. Mr. Blanchard appeared fur the prosecution. The prisoner had no counsel. It appeared that the prisoner had been. living for a short time as a domestic servant in the family of Mr. IV. St. Quinton, of Scampstun Hall, near Walton ; and had before lived as kitchen-maid with Lord Chelsea, at Put ney-heath. She had received a good character from her latter place. The principal evidence against the pri soner was that. of some of the servants who had lived with her, and the melical man, who on coming to attend the prisoner found the body of the child hidden in her bed-room. He a,ked her if the child had been alive when born, when she exclaimed, " Good God do you suppose I could put it into the box alive ?"—Verdict Guilty. The Learned COUNSEL for the prosecution informed the Court that he was instruct d to bt speak his Lord ship's merciful consideration for the prisoner, as she had borne an excellent character. Sentence, two mi , nths' imprisonment in York Castle. Ann Doulan, aged 22, a who had been working at the silk mill of Mr. Holdforth, in Leeds, was indicted for a similar offence. In this case the body of the child had been dropped by the prisoner into a river. She was convicted, and sentenced to be imprisoned for two months. March 13. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) POLLOCK W. STABLES. This was an action on promise four 851.. money A 1 1 eged to have been paid by the plaictiff for and on account of the defendant, end alio to rec ,, ver another sum in the shape of brokerage on the purchase of shares. Mr. Baines, with whom was Mr. Ellice, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Pashley for the defendant. The debt claimed by the plaintiff was contracted in the month of September, 1845, the plaintiff and the defendant at that time both being share brokers in Leeds, and members of the association of brokers established there, and the defendant also was by profession an attorney. The first• mentioned suns now sought to be recovered was the difference be tween the cost price and the selling price of thireen shares in the Manchester and Huddersfield fittilwai, which shares, as the plainttff under ook to show, he had bought frcm Messrs. Thurnley and Cooper, brokers, of Leeds, by order and On account of the defendant. It was proved by the clerk of the plaintiff that a Mr. Thomas llogg, supposed to have been at the time the defendant's clerk, had come once or twice to the plain tiff's office in Leeds, ai from the defendant, and in the name of the latter commissioned the plain tiff to purchase the shares in question. They were I bought of Messrs. Thurnley and Cooper for 281. per share; and the defendant afterwards retu,ing to accept! the scrip, the shares, after the usual notice given, were-! sold out, and then brought but 191. 10s. each, makingi the difference of 85/. The plaintiff sh:iwed that he had been called upn to pay, and had paid the full sum oti 281. on each share to Messrs. Thurnley and Cooper, and also the reasonableness of the claim in brokerage, •viz.,j ss. per share. But on the objection being taken for the defence, hi'i LORDSHIP expressed his own. opinion to be that Oil, plaintiff could not, as to the 851., recover anything in tht present form of action. The Learned Judge questionet if the plaintiff's only - remedy were not an action on th case, instead of assumpsit, as the plaintiff had not pati3 the money to Thurnley and Cooper on the plaintiff' p account,, but in discharge of a debt due from himselt ti;) them. It was eventually agreed that a verdict should be give . .a for tke defendant as to the issue respecting the 851, bur that the jury might consider the question whether any!- thing were owing to the plaintiff for brokerage ; and that question being put to them by his Lordf hip, the,:i fonnd for the plaintiff; the plaintiff, as we understooui, to be allowed to enter a verdict also as to the other por•- tion of his demand. POLICE INTELLIGENI'E. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Hester Baggett. and Joseph Buggett, her son, were plaro..'d before Mr. Bingham, charged with oh' aining the sum of 20/. by means of a forged order, from the Provident Instituthu Savings' Bank, Saint Martin's-place. Joseph Baggett, butcher, No. 7, Market-street, Newport• market, stated that the prisoners were his wife and son, aied that his wife had been in the habit of drinking to excefs. On Wednesday last he was informed that his wife had last eleven pounds, and knowing that she cold not, from l ter habits be possessed of eleven pence, he made inquiries, which led him to search for his savings' bank book. On finding it, and referring to it, he was astounded to find that site had been to the bank and drawn 20/. out without. his consent or knowledge. The prisoner, after obtaining the mon! y, absconded. lie then gave information to the police, w';no took her into custody last night. Mr. Edward Boodle, comptroller and secretary to the Provident Institution Savings' Bank, St. Martin's-place, mid that on the 26th ult. a female came. to the bank and applied fir the payment of 201., and the same time producing an order purporting to be signed by the prosecutor. Throi;gh some informality in the wording of the order, he refused to pay the money. On the 6th In stant, the female prisoner, accompanied by the boy, carne to the bank, and brought a' letter purporting to kitty° been wr tten by the prisoner's son, by his authority, wh:ich stated that the prosecutor was in very ill health, that the bearers were his wife and son, and requested hat the money might be paid to them. The money was paid, the fenivie prisoner giving him a receipt for the same. In reply to Mr. Bingham, the prosecutor said than he cou h; not write, and that he never gave his son any au tho rite. to wr i te the letter and order produced for him, or td his w ife to draw the money from the bank. Mr. BINGIIAU remanded them till Wednesday next. SOUTH W A BK. Thomas Harding' Faith, a powerful man, was charged with assaulting a police constable. The defendant forced his way into the station-house, and smashed the windows, lilt consequence of being refused; ad mission, and bit the policeman's leg. It was further stated, that previously to his being locked up he went into a pttblic house, and, being - a man of great strength, insisted on drinking out of the glawses of all in the room, without.con tributing to the payment. In answer to the charge, the direr, dant said he must have been mad at the time, or he would n!,ver have insisted on being taken to the station-house. He regretted all that had occurred. The MAGISTRATE said, that he should fine the defebdant 205., or 21 days' imprisonment. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
