Sec pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * Tile rates here selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low e.t.a of premium. and professedly for the - lower and midd ing classes. The rates here selected are those adopted by the English and Jambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 101. 7s. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter 81. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. Money laid out at comp3und interest DOUBLES ITSELF every flair teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a le , s sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ntlly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy ho can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thlv. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even is former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the came as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to 8y to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortune s serve to benefit the pockcts of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and nErosiT assurance is the only system of assurance which can universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bulk because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor 1 n ease of death. thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES O L THISLIFE P BRANCH. T .

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting front irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation In Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, am other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egaily qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation Of 1)r. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

A CONVICT'S LETTER.—A letter has just been received by Mrs. Porter, of North-street, Stamford, from her husband (Henry Porter), formerly a butcher in this town, who was convicted at Kesteven sessions, held at Bourn on the 15th Oct., 1848, of stealing a sheep from a field at Aunby, the property of Mr. Fras. Ormond, and sentenced to 10 years' transportation. It appears that the convict is most anxious for his wife and children to proceed to him. He sailed from Plymouth on the 11th March last, and arrived at Hobart Town on the 4th July—" He says—" When I landed, I was compelled to engage myself (to a butcher) for 12 monthe, after which I shall be my own master. lam receiving 141. a-year for that time, board and lodging included. If I had my full liberty, I could earn 21. per week here as a butcher, and in Port Philip 51. per week. Both you and my dear children prey heavily on my mind, and I regret to admit that I think more about you now than when we lived together. I hope you will form a good resolution, and come to me. My misfortune lies heavily upon my mind and you alone could give me relief. It is not only my wish but the wish of my master also that you should come and live with me in this distant country. The scenery is very beautiful, and people are making rapid fortunes. The trade that is carried on in Hobart Town is immense. The shops in Stamford are indeed insignifi cant compared to those here, and Mr. Knight's shop in High-street is nothing in comparison to the drapers' establishments here. There is scarcely a butcher's shop in Hobart Town that is doing less business than was done by the late Mr. John Pollard previously to my leaving Lincolnshire." In speaking of stock, Porter says, " The colonial cattle are something like the Irish : the sheep also are very small, weighing only 101bs. to 121bs. per qr. The cattle that come from Port Philip are splendid ; and the sheep are equal to the English Southdowns, weighing from 701bs. to 801bs. each. Bullocks weigh 50st., 60st., and 70 st. ; and the fat beef is as fine as any in England—much like the Devonshire breed. We often kill 30 sheep, and sometimes 3 and 4 beasts, on a Sunday : this I very much dislike, for I should like to spend the Sabbath in a different manner. " P r idmore challenged me one Saturday night in my master's shop : he seemed very pleased to see me, but it hu rt him much to see me in my humiliating position." In conclusion, the writer says, "Let me beg of you to comply with my request and come to me. I will do the utmost in my power to get you with me.

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES NOT A LEGAL TENDER IN AUSTRALIA.—Mr. William Howitt, the distinguished author, who has paid a temporary visit to Australia, makes the following very important communication The letter is dated " 1 11elbourne, Port Philip, September 26, 1852 :"—" Be so good as to place the fact which I now state in a prominent part of your paper, that it may be copied as widely as possible.

The Attorney-General (in continuation of what ap peared in our impression of yesterday), directed the at tention of the Court to the conduct of Achilli in refusing to answer certain questions put to him.; His conduct in that respect showed he was not worthy of belief. One strong ground for not believing him was founded on his answers with respect. to the matter contained in the do cument brought from the Inquisition. Achilli had de clared that lie was only suspended on account of doc trine, and not of moral misconduct. The document from the inquisition expressly stated moral misconduct had been taken into consideration by that tribunal. That was decisive, Unless it was meant to be asserted, which he did not believe was the case, that these charges had been fabricated by the officials when they delivered out the document—in fact, that it was a forged instrument. Achilli said that he had never been deprived. This do cument proved that he had been. Achilli said that that was impossible, for that the Inquisition had no jurisdic tion over priests but in matters of faith. Here, again, the document proved that it was a misconception or a misrepresentation ; besides which, the evidence of Dr. Grant showed that the Inquisition had the jurisdiction which was thus denied. Though the effect of that judg ment in the Inquisition might not be conclusive by our law as to the facts which it recited, yet it could not be supposed that the document was made to contain false or fictitious matter. Their lordships would not say that the officer of the court had lent himself to such a foul and slanderous practice ; and if not, then its was clear that that part of the charge was 'made out, and even that Achilli had confessed the guilt imputed to him. Mr. Justice Coleridge—Was there any evidence that the charges were read to him, or that he was exa mined upon them ? The Attorney-General—There was no evidence upon that point, but there was his admission or confession in the document. Mr. Justice Coleridge—lt does not ~say that these statements were made in his presence. The Attorney-General—He admitted that ho had been examined, but denied that he was so as to these points. (Some discussion here ensued as to this document, and, finally, it appeared to be the general opinion that the document was a very vague and unsatisfactory paper, not of the first-class Latinity, nor with a very intelligible meaning.) The Attorney-General then proceeded to notice the observations which had been made with respect to the exclusion of Dr. Achilli from the court during the trial. He contended that that exclusion was perfectly justifi able, as Achilli was himself to be a witness, and the principal witness on his own behalf. - Mr: Justice Coleridge—Was it not a'case out of the ordinary rule, since he was in truth the accused party, and he did not know the witnesses who might be pro duced against him ? The Attorney-General said he did know them, for they were in court, and he saw them ; he had not been deprived of any advantage which he was entitled to claim. Lord Campbell—He was deprived of the power of instructing his counsel. The Attorney-General said that that was true, but Achilli could not have suffered on that account ; for his case was, not that the witnesses spoke untruly as to this or that matter, but that he knew nothing whatever of them ; and if that was so, he could not have had any instructions to give to his counsel. Then, again, it was said that he had been subjected to great severity of cross-examination. He (the Attorney-General) must say that he had never seen a man on whom cross-ex amination produced less impression. He denied the whole of the transaction from beginning to end, and therefore it was impossible to produce effect by cross examining such a man. There was one other point of view from which to consider Achilli's conduct. What course had he pursued with regard to that most sacred of all subjects—religion ? He said that he was shocked at the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, and at the conduct of its priests, and so he left it ; yet it was a fact that he was dismissed from it for infidelity and im propriety of conduct. He was suspended and dismissed from his functions ; he was at first enjoined performance of penance, but was allowed to remain a member of the Church. He did not like penance nor seclusion, and so he left the Church. His ecclesiastical functions being taken away from him, his bread was gone ; so he came over and became a shining light of , the ,Pro testant Church. (A laugh.) What was his - own account of himself ? The libel charged him with being a hypocrite under a cowl, and his own statement of his having administered the sacraments of thsjioingt Church after he had ceased to believe them 1311144 d that that charge was true. Lord Campbell—lt must be a difficult' thing to know the exact moment when a man, who has once believed, ceases to be a member of his Church, an44ntirely rejects its doctrines. I Mr. Justice Coleridge—A man may administer the sacrament in our Church on one Sunday, and receive the mass on the next Sunday, and yet do both con scientiously. The Attorney-General : Undoubtedly that might be so in some cases, but lie doubted whether it was so here, and there were answers of Achilli which seemed to him to prove that long after Achilli had in his own mind entirely rejected the doctrines of his Church he had continued to administer its sacraments. He must submit, on the whole view of the evidence, that the case o the defendant was established by the proof he had adduced, and that it was not answered by the sole and unsupported testimony of Achilli. That being so, the question arose whether, under the recent statute of the 6 and 7 Viet., c. 96, the Court ought to refuse this rule because it had the ewer in award ing punishm en t, t o t a k e the whole of the evidence into consideration. To lay down such a rule would, he sub mitted, be a mistake. But then it was said that it would be a hardship to allow Dr. Newman, who was in point of form the defendant, the benefit of a new trial, and to refuse that advantage to Dr. Achilli, who was substan tially the defendant. That argument was not well-found ed ; for, first, Achilli was not, technically speaking, a defendant ; and, further, there was a distinction between this ease and the case of an ordinary conviction or pe nalty, for there the defendant could not be examined, while here Achilli had that advantage, and having that, he must take the attendant disability with it. The ver dict here was monstrous—it was agiiinst the great weight of evidence ; and yet a new trial was to Ile refused, merely because of the power which the Court possessed under the recent statute, to take th e ev i dence into consideration in awarding punishment. The defendant there had not conducted himself recklessly in Tutting forward these charges against Achilli. It was not his fault that there had been a deficiency of evidence anywhere. Nor had there been so on the main points of the charges, but that evi dence had been disregarded by a blamed and partial jury. The defendant was entitled to ask for a reconsideration of the case, and for the means of proving the charges which the evidence, fairly considered, would have been deemed to establish. The matter was in the hands of their lordships—in their discretion they must refuse or grant this new trial ; and he confidently trusted that they would come to a right and proper decision. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, who was to have followed the Attorney-General, asked, on account of temporary indis position, that Mr. Bramwell might be allowed first to address the court. The court at once assented to the proposal. Mr. Bramwell next followed on the same side in sup port of the rule. He said that this ease had assumed greater importance than ever to Dr. Newman, and to the mysterious person darkly hinted at by Sir F. Kelly as having got it up ; and the issue now before their lord ships amounted in fact to no more nor less than whether no fewer than twelve of the witnesses who had given evidence in support of the charges against Dr. Achilli had deliberately and wilfully perjured them selves, because no solution of error or mistake could account for their statements. There was, he contended, greater improbability in the reality of such a compli cated mass of perjury than there was in the truth of the charges made against Dr. Achilli. By whom, he would ask, could all that perjured testimony have been suborned ? He would grant that there might be persons who were capable of concocting such a fohl and widely-rami fied conspiracy as was supposed against Dr. Achilli ; but what could possibly be the object of the authors of such an enormity ? A malignant adherent of one Church might seek to crush the adherent of another Church ; but surely it was one of the rashest and most imprudent things to put forth a libel with all that variety of parti cularity of names, places, and dates, if they were all pure fiction. Was it possible to believe that if such a libel had been invented, that twelve witnesses would have been found to establish the truth of the charges with circumstantial and minute accuracy ? Here were twelve respectable and otherwis w e pheaocwheedvera,ndmcrr.edßibelyenwolidts nesses, whose statements were all to be set as id e and hich, stigmatised simply because Dr. Achilli alone ch ose to con tradict them. Even if Mr. Reynolds 1141 been occas i onally guilty of drunkenness, himself flatly denied, that of itself could not justify the jury in regarding his evidence as malignant perjury. It had been said that this was only a case of oath against oath ; but the fact was, it was twelve oaths against Dr. Achilles single unsupported oath in his own case. Again, if Dr. Achilli was that virtuous and exemplary man which he represented himself to be, it was manifest that he was the most unfortunate being that ever lived ; for wherever lie went, whether it was to Viterbo, to Cepha lonia, to Zante, or to Malta, by a strange and unexam pled fatality which always followed him, these strange him ; imputations an d h he—this libidinous remarkably conduct good were man —was brought the against i ll starred victim who was invariably selected to bear the brunt of these accusations. Every place he went to he seemed soon to have made too hot to hold him ; and cer tainly his own account of his life assigned no intelligible reason for his leaving Zante or Corfu. If this was a case which was to turn upon the number of the wit thheer eci th witnesses oee in againstsupport it e o r f i t f h t e ii t e r u e t v h id o e f n c t e h eo of libel both sides was to be weighed, cer t a i n l y witnessesnouestnseusin on that on behalf of Dr. Newman was the most trustworthy, because not one of the witnesses had broken down upon cross-examination, except, perhaps, two of the English females. It could not be said that religious prejudice ac counted for the charge with regard to Corimboni's wife being brought against Dr. Achilli ; for both Mr. Rey nolds and Miss Levachie, the governess, were Protes tants ; and as for the improbability of Dr. Achilli being guilty of familiarities with that woman in so open a manner as Mr. Reynolds described, it was only reason abled to suppose that a man of his unbridled propensities allowed his lust to get the better of his prudence. The loose character of the man was evident from the manner in which he took a notorious prostitute into hi. service ; and his conversation with Dr. Bonavia, the Protestant teacher at Malta, whose statement and whose motives were alike unimpeachable ' showed beyond dispute what were his opinions and his habits with regard to his in tercourse with women. Again, with respect to his dismissal from the Protestant College at Malta, the remarkable fatality which marked his previous course seemed to have attended him there also, because he selected Saccares, the precise individual against whom the gravest of the charges of immorality were brought, as the fittest person to send away to Sicily on a mission to distribute Bibles. Again, it was rather a curious circumstance that Dr. Achilli's convic tions of the errors of Roman Catholicism should have come upon him just at the precise period when his means of acquiring his livelihood in the Roman Catholic Church were taken away from him, for it was a singular fact that even in his own book he never said a word of the conversion either of his " head " or his "heart " to Protestantism before that time. He (Mr. Braniwell) could not account for the jury having chosen to believe Dr. Achilli and dis Credit all the witnesses on the other side, unless it was that their judgment had been swayed by their religious prepossessions, and that they had sup posed—most erroneously—that unless they found a ver dict against Dr. Newman, the Protestant religion would be prejudiced. Lord Campbell—They expressly disclaimed . having been influenced by any religious bias. Mr. Bramwell—Certainly ; and he admitted that they believed themselves devoid of all such bias ; but he thought they might well be mistaken on that head, and even their own disclaimer might show that they felt the pressure of their peculiar religious feelings upon their minds. Now, he contended that it was the bounden duty of every body of men, no matter to what sect or party they might belong, to waive their peculiar predilections and opinions, and be guided by a sole regard to that which ought to be foremost in the minds of every professor of religion, namely, the paramount interest of truth. He could not, therefore, but think that had the jury had time to consider that a decision against Dr. Achilli, if demanded by the evidence, would do the Protestant cause no real injury, they would have arrived at a very different verdict. As to the technical objection that had been raised to the granting of a new trial, he conceived that the finding must either be for Dr. Achilli generally or for Dr. New man generally. There were certainly some unimportant matters in the plea which had not been proved on the part of Dr. Newman against Dr. Achilli. Lord Campbell—There were some very importan matters. Mr. Bramwell—He thought, with all respect that they were unimportant matters ; because, supposing there were several cases of incontinence more or less which could not be proved, what difference would that have made to the character of Dr. Achilli, or in the punishment to be awarded to Dr. Newman ? But look at the hardship under which, Dr. Newman would be placed if the rule for a new trial was re fused. When he came up for judgment their lordships must look at the evidence, not merely upon the judge's notes, but also with the light of the verdict of the jury ; and he (Mr. Bramwell) would ask his learned friends on the other side, not whether it was convenient for them that there should be a new, trial, but what would be the 'topics urged upon the judgment ? Would it be said that they had made a number of charges, and that they had had the godd fortune to obtain twelve witnesses to sup port them ? No. It would be urged, on the contrary, that the guilt of the accusers had been, not doubled or trebled, but aggravated a thousandfold, by the alleged subornation of this mass of perjured evidence. The ob jection raised against a new trial, to the effect that the finding of the jury must in any event be adverse to Dr. Newman, because he had not attempted to substantiate some of the unimportant matters alleged in the plea of justification, was a purely technical objection, and constituted no valid reason why, if the Jury had mis carried on all the other material points, as he con tended they had, the verdict should not be sent back to the jury for correction. The objection taken in fact amounted to this, that the case ought not to be tried over again, because it ought never ,to have been tried at all ; 'but 'he maintained that if 'the points upon which proof had been tendered ought not to go before-a jury on a new trial, neither ought they to have been submitted to the jury in the first instance. He had purpose 4 avoided entering into the details of the evidence, which had been handled in a m as t er ly manner by hislearned friend the Attorney-General, and would no doubt be ably handled also by his learned friend Mr. Sergeant Wilkins to-morrow, and lie had contented himself with touching upon a few of the more. salient points arising from a general view of the case, and in conclusion he would only add that, whether they regarded the technical or the more substantial pints of the case, he trusted their lordships would say that this was a case in which justice had not been done, and by making the rule absolute would pronounce their opinion that the verdict of the jury was not satisfactory. The case was then adjourned till ten o'clock to-day (Saturday), when Mr. Sergeant Wilkins will follow in support of the rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.- JAN. 21. DEBACKER V. BELLEVUE. This was an action of debt, to recover the sum of 231. Bs. Bd. for goods sold, for money lent, and for money paid by the plaintiff for the use of the defendant.. The defendant, as to a portion of the amount, denied that he was indebted to the plaintiff, and likewise pleaded a set-off ; and as to the remainder, the sum' of 71. had been paid into Court. As all the parties interested' in the action were fo reigners, Mr. Gougheneim acted as interpreter. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Cook for the defendant. It appeared from the speech of the learned counsel in opening the case that the plaintiff, who is a French tailor, carrying on business in Regent-street, had been introduced during the past summer to the defendant, an exile in this country, and a dramatic author by profes sion, by a mutual friend, who with his wife resided at the house of the plaintiff. They were on terms of inti macy with each other, it being usual for the defendant, and the lady who lived with him as his wife, to pass the evening in the apartments of M. and Mme. Maubert, where the plaintiff generally was. In the month of November last the defendant's suspicions were excited by observing the attention paid by the plaintiff to the lady who passed as Mme. Bellevue, and he accordingly began to gradually discontinue his visits. In December he came to an open rupture with the plaintiff, who very speedily sent him an account of goods alleged to have been supplied to the lady in question, and of moneys which he alleged to have been advanced to the defendant. In replying to this letter, the defendant wrote the plain tiff word that he had " more than one account to settle with him," and concluded his letter by saying that, whatever might happen, " he would preserve the honour of his ancestors intact." The plaintiff considered this last phrase insulting, and accordingly requested a friend to call upon the defendant to inquire into its meaning. A duel would appear to have then been in the contemplation of both parties. On the 18th of December, however, the plaintiff caused the defendant to be arrested and held to bail on an affidavit of debt, and that he, the defendant, contemplated leaving the country. The defendant, not being able to procure the necessary bail, was imprisoned in Whitecross-street, until Christmas Eve, when, upon an affidavit of the cir cumstances, he was released by a judge's order. On re turning to his lodgings at 27, Rathbone-place, he found that the lady called Madame Bellevue, with her two children, had left, and upon investigation found that -they were living under the protection of the plaintiff. ' The action was brought to recover the amount of the debt for which the defendant had been so held to bail. The plaintiff, on cross-examination, admitted that since he had caused the defendant to be arrested he had frequently slept in the apartments to which he had con ducted Madame Bellevue, although he denied having had any criminal connection with her. She was then under his protection, and occupied a drawing-room and two bedrooms. He had slept there for the last two or three nights, and, indeed, generally did so three or four times a week, the lady fearing the violence of the de fendant. He had bought dresses and made presents, but not to Mme. Bellevue. Upon one occasion he sent a dress to his brother, who resided at Paris. He was married, but his wife had lived in Paris for the last twelve or fifteen months. He never put a " Talma " (a species of paletot) upon the shoulders of Mme. Bellevue. The defendant had ordered one, and when it was made took it away with him. It was quite a new mode, and its price was 5/. 4s. So also with respect to a hat which he had sold to the defendant for one guinea, and to some handkerchiefs which were also charged in the particulars of demand. On the arrest of the defendant he alleged that Mine. Bellevue, sent for him and consulted him about the ill-treatment she had received from the de fendant. M. Louis Antonio Pellaix was then called—l am an artist, residing at 88, Regent-street. I know the plain tiff. He sent me to the defendant concerning a letter which the defendant had written him, and which con tained an ambiguous expression. I asked him what in terpretation he meant to put on that phrase ? and he an swered that he meant nothing but what it clearly con veyed. It is the custom in Fiance according to the "code d'honneur," that no one shall fight until he has paid any debts he may owe his adversary. (Much laughter.) There was mention of several articles, but I do not recolle c t th e i r prec i se character. The defendant embraced me, and appeared willing to settle anything "preparatory to killing that fellow," as he called the plaintiff. Mr. James addressed the jury for the defence, and said that he though he should be able to satisfy the jury, • by the testimony of the defendant, that the greater part of this 231. was a fictitious demand, got up to enable the plaintiff to arrest and imprison the defendant, that he might the more easily accomplish his wicked and heart less design, which was nothing less than the seduction of the lady, who was living with the defendant as his wife whilst he was in prison. Madame Bellevue was, it seemed, highly descended, and not without accomplish ments, and it was to remove her from the defendant, by whom she had two children, that he concocted this claim of 231. The defendant was then examined, and gave the fol lowing evidence :—I have known the plaintiff since June last. I was introduced to him by a find from 'Paris, named Maubert. lam a literary man, and was a member of the Society of Dramatic Authors. I lived with the lady for six years, and had two charming children by her. Manbert lived in Debacker's house, and when I visited Matibert he saw the lady there. I recollect the 14th of November. The plaintiff brought down a " talina" from his " magasin, and said, here is a cloak which my workmen have spoiled by put ting .the back of it in the front. He put it on the lady. I looked surprised. The plaintiff then said that if the lady would accept of it, he should feel very happy. The lady said, "Oh ! no, sir." He then put the " talma" on the back of a chair. About a week after, I went again to the plaintiffs, who said that he had got the cloak settled, and wished to give it to the lady. I said to "ma femme," "It seems to please you my dear, I will take it and pay for it when I have the money." The plaintiff seemed satisfied. Nothing was said about the price, It was not worth more than 30s. I recol- lect - something about a hat. Here is the article. (The witness, in an excited manner, handed it to the jury, saying, "Sixpence ! sixpence only !" which caused much merriment in court.) My own hat was crushed coming out of tfie • cabin of one of the penny steamers. I said to the plaintiff, " It is unpleasant that my hat. should be in this condition. I have no money at present to buy one." The plaintiff said he had some hats up-stairs, and he brought down two old ones. • He gave me one, which I wore for six weeks. I then bought a new one, and the hatter allowed me sixpence for the one Debacker gave me. The defendant uses pomatum, and his hat was full of grease. Recollect the plaintiff bringing 12 pocket handkerchiefs to my " femzne," who embroiders like an angel. (Laughter.) He asked her to embroider half-a dozen, and to put his initials on them, and only to hem the other six. When they were finished, Debacker said to the lady, " I will not offer you money, but I pray you to retain the six unembroidered handkerchiefs for your trouble." I saw no objection to that, because I thought her labour was worth more. I received a bill from Paris for 151. 19s. 7d. ; it was payable at three days' sight on the Ist of November, at the banking-house of Messrs. Monteaux and Co. I received the bill on the 12th of October, and on the 18th I gave it to Debacker, with my name endorsed upon it. I gave it to him to get cashed, because he said he was going every day to the city I saw him the day on which the bill was paid. He said h. had not received the amount, but he offered to advance me money on it. The bill was paid, as I afterwards knew, on the Ist of November. He ad vanced me the money in small amounts on several occasions. He paid me 31. 14s. beyond the amount of the bill. That is all the money he advanced to me. I never mentioned to Mr. Pelez that I owed him 121. or 131. I was arrested on the 18th of December, at 37, Rathbone-place, about 7 o'clock in the evening, It was on a Saturday. I was taken to prison after violence had been used towards me at the prompting of the plaintiff, who was by. I left prison on Christmas-eve, and found my wife and children gone. I was not guilty of any violence towards her. I have had " scenes de jalousie" with her three or four times about the plaintiff. I could not use violence towards her, for I adored her as a saint. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers.—l have been a married man. I separated from my first wife in 1846. I lived with her in a fraternal way. I married her in 1835. I had not lived with her for a long time before I left France. She never had any children. I met the present young lady at the house of her relatives--it was not with the consent of her parents that she first lived with me. She was then 23 years of age. Eighteen months after I was reconciled with her parents. I was then 41 years. Her parents were very honourable people. She lived with me since that period up to the 18th December, and she was the most admirable of wo men. Her father was a public functionary. It was a perpetual honeymoon between us till I met the plaintiff. I never threatened her with violence if she left me to return to her parents. On the contrary, she followed me from France when I was proscribed by Napoleon, the tyrant of France. To the Court—l never borrowed any money from the )laintiff before the date of the bill for 151. Mr: Jones, hatter, deposed that he allowed the de fendant 6d. for an old hat on the occasion of selling him a new one. He did not think that the hat could have , n worn to its present appearance in six weeks. It might have cost a guinea originally, because he saw it came from the house of Mr. Meton, of Regent-street. The learned Judge, in summing up, said that the pre sent case was one of conflicting testimony between the plaintiff and the defendant ; and it would be for the jury, after weighing the case as presented by both, to say which presented greatest probability. The first thing that would strike them was, that the plaintiff had the defendant arrested late on Saturday night, when he could not probably take any steps towards his liberation, till the following Monday. And when, after six days p e of imprisonment, he came to his home, he found that his doors were sealed up, his wife and children gone and living at a place where the plaintiff admitted that he visited four or five times a-week. It was also very strange that the plaintiff had not said one word about the bill for 151. These points struck the jury perhaps as they struck him, but as he said the evidence was con flicting, and it was for them to decide. The jury at once found a verdict for the defendant. The Judge—Then, I suppose, gentlemen, you con sider that the " talma" was a present. The jury —Just so. The Judge—For value received, I suppose. (Laughter.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—JAN. 21. IN RE MACKELLAR AND HAMPSON. The bankrupts were shawl warehousemen, of Milk street. Their accounts, prepared by Mr. Maynard, ex tend from January 20, 1851, to September, 1852, and contained the following items :—Dr. , Unsecured cre ditors, 24,9961. ; liabilities, a further amount of 28,8751. Cr.: Good debtors, 2,4341. ; doubtful, 1,2231. ; bad, 6,8041. ; property, 3,845/. ; losses, 6,215/. ; trade ex penses, 2,487/. ; drawings by Mackellar, 8281. ; by Hampson, 6441. This was an adjourned examination meeting. Mr. Reed appeared for the assignees ; Mr. Depree for Mackellar ; Mr. Linklater for Hampson. Mr. Reed said that on all hinds it was agreed that an adjournment must necessarily be ordered. He held in his hands a medical certificate that Mackellar had been compelled to take up his residence in a warmer climate for the benefit of his health, and that he was now at Malta. The facts of the case were these :—The bank rupts had commenced business in February, 1851, with out capital. On taking stock at Christmas, 1851, they were found to be deficienct to the extent of 2,314/. On again taking stock in July, 1852, there was found to be a still larger deficiency ; and what their state was at the time of the bankruptcy in Sept., 1852, the accounts would show. The official assignee had been forcibly struck by the remarkable circumstance that upon the bankrupt's sales to the amount of 13,1131., there had been an alleged loss of 3,712. He had thereupon re quired that they should furnish what was known in the trade under the name of a "piece account." The bank- Irupts had furnished that account, but as far as the official assignee had been at present able to test its accu racy, he believed that the following goods had as yet been unaccounted for, viz.,-372 dresses, 96 s h aw l s , 30 dozen handkerchi e f s , and 0 pieces of stuffs. The official assignee was not fully satisfied that this deficiency really existed, but was willing to believe that the apparent de ficiency might have arisen from the manner in which the bankrupts had kept their accounts. Under these cir cumstances an adjournment was asked. Mr. Linklater and Mr. Depree expressed their opinion that the bankrupts would be able hereafter fully to ex plain the alleged deficiency of goods, and that Mackellar would be present at a future meeting. No desire existed on his part to remain at Malta, or to avoid the proceed ings of this Court. His Honour ordered an adjournment of the bankrupts' examination of the 15th of March. A TORY EXPLAINS WHY TORYISM IS STIIPID.—The following passage appears in the last number of Black wood :—" It may excite some men fond of problems to start the inquiry, why Toryism, with all its virtues, is so partial to dulness--never opens its friendships, fe e l ing, or services to the young talents which it ought to honour, and is satisfied with establishing a sort of arist ocra ti c barrier against all the rising accomplishments of the age. The Whigs have always b een wiser in their generation—have always rememb ere d t h at exclusive ness tends to stupidity—that a circle of dowager lord's is one of the most striking emblems of p9litical decrepitude ; and that Holland House brought more recruits of talent to Whiggism, than all the tempta tions, even of the Treasury, breught to its rival powers. By some fatality all the wits in London have been Whigs for the last hundred years—.all the showy writers have dipped their wings in Whig libations • even all the brilliancy of fashio n , an d the grace of manners, ' have glittered round the mansions of Whiggism ; while if a man of talent, destitute of the " fourteen qua,rterings," has been suffered within the folding doors of Toryism, it is quoted as a condescension. As to the Peel dynasty, there was no help for enduring that accession from the loom ; Parliam en t ary workmen must be had, at what ever price ; but even that dynasty rapidly contrived to adopt the old Tory style, and be as solemn, exalted, and exclusive, as i f they had' all been barons dating from the Conquest." THE CHOLERA IN ST. PETERSBURG.—According to the last accounts from St. Petersburgh there were 384 cholera patients under treatment on the 4th inst. On that day there were 42 new cases, 15 cures, and the same number of deaths ; on the sth, 44 new cases, 30 cures, 18 deaths ; Gth, 26 new cases, 8 cures, 17 deaths ; 7th, 57 new cases, 25 cures, 18 deaths ; Bth, 74 new cases, 19 cures, and 17 deaths, leaving, on the 9th, 545 patients under treatment. produced these serious consequences, if the previous condition of the market had not been such as to render it peculiarly sensitive to any cause of de pression. Upon the whole the political horizon is as calm and clear as it is likely to be in the existing state of France and of Eur3pe. The rocognition of the Empire by the Northern Powers has been got over in a manner which, if it be not flattering,, is at least safe ; and although several recent causes have combined to render the conduct of the ruler of France more questionable, and his stability more precarious, th ere i s no question of his power and his determination to defend himself against every form of opposition now likely to be offered to him. The true causes of the depression of the French funds are, in our opinion, the unsound and even dishonest practices which have been resorted to, with the cognisance of many members of the Go vernment, to give an artificial stimulus to credit, and to create a transient and fictitious prosperity, not based on the legitimate production and increase of wealth. For more than six weeks the tendency of the market in France has been to depression, although the Government h a s n o toriously em pl oye d all the' means at its command to keep up prices. The Caisse des Consignations et Depots, which . co!- theres ponds in w name of this property is, in France, u nde r the control of the Government), and like wise th e new c ompany of theme respects toAccountant-General fun cis (except sndingtha in t Credit Mobilier, have been large and constant buyers, not, as - may be well supposed for their own financial advantage, but for the political purposes of the Government. We must presume, from the abrupt fall of Wednesday, that they were no longer in a condition to meet the amount of sales. At the same time, the excess of private speculation in va rious crude schemes has been unexampled, and the avowed object of the increased facilities of credit granted by the Bank of France and the joint-stock banks, under the sanction of the Government, was to encourage a spirit of adventure to the utmost. An immense number of lines of railroad have been conceded and commenced ; public works of every kind are begun, with apparent indifference to the means of paying for them, although many of these undertakings had, from their magnitude and mag nificence, been postponed by former G overnments. The Napoleon Docks at Paris—Algerian mining companies —a proposal for imitating the commer cial grandeur of the East India Company in Nor thern Africa—a Crystal Palace in the Champs Elysees, and fifty other hasty schemes, have been negotiated on the Bourse in the last two or three months, not for their intrinsic worth, but for the profit or loss which the shares might be made to bear. Many of these jobbing companies have been brought out under the cover of the greatest names in the present official and governing society in France. Thus, the Duke de Bassano, Grand Chamberlain to his Imperial Majesty Napoleon 111., figures in that part of the Stock Exchange at Paris which is not the post of honour, as chairman of an insolvent company of mines at Bona, in Algeria ; and it has been already intimated that, by the rules of the Bourse, Marshal St. Arnaud has been brought into a similar position. With these egregious examples before our eyes, we may readily imagine what the effects of a commercial crisis in a general depression of marketable stock Must be on that humbler class of persons who do not derive their information from the Cabinet, or their resources from the State. We fear, too, that it will turn out that some of the mercantile houses in Paris which ought to have known better, have been allured beyond the limits of prudence, partly by the hope of gain, but far more by the dread of offend ing the existing Government. Throughout the poli tical vicissitudes of the last few years we have been forcibly struck by the singular want of independent conduct and of foresight in the commercial classes abroad. They have passed abruptly from exagge rated apprehensions to unwarrantable confidence, and even in presence of innumerable warnings they have scarcely had courage to act upon the distrust they could not but feel. Their operations have been quite as often the result of political fear as of commercial judgment and though many of them affected to feel a degree of confidence in the present .Government of France, to which it has no real Claims, they will probably be the first to suffer from the discreditable expedients to which it has had recourse. It is characteristic of the present financial condi tion in that country that, although the accounts of the past year have closed, like those of every pre ceding one, by a large deficit, the estimates of the expenditure for the current year are augmented by upwards of two millions sterling. There is an in crease on almost every branch of expenditure, espe cially on the salaries and pensions of every class of public officers, including the whole Senate and Legislative Body, which are liberally paid for their functions ; while the revenue of the Emperor and his family alone is an additional charge of 1,200,0001. But we have . strong reasons for doubting whether this statement of the public ex penditure is a faithful one ; and as the Legislative Body has now lost even the power of discussing the articles of the budget, it is impossible to verify the facts. At any rate, the acknowledged deficiency is a constant addition to the unfunded debt ; and though we no longer place implicit reliance on the official figures of the French Treasury, it is certain that this amount of floating debt must weigh very heavily on the money market at a time of general financial embarrassment. Under these circumstances, and especially with reference to the commercial condition of the Con tinent, we entertain no doubt that the Bank of England has exercised a wise discretion in raising its rate of discount to 3 per cent. The state of credit and of affairs in this country is sound and active, but it is of the utmost importance that we should be protected as far as possible against the possibility of a drain from abroad, especially on securities which may prove imperfect. The rate of exchange on England had remained, both in France and Belgium, as low as 25f. 05c. for the pound sterling ; and although the accumulation of cash and bullion in the Banks of England and of France has been for several months unusually large, it is certain that in the last two months the diminution of these stocks had become very rapid. As far as we can form an opinion in this country of the future course of affairs in Paris, it is pro bable that the causes which are already putting to the test the financial pretensions of the Empire will continue to be felt. Their consequences may be aggravated by the efforts of those who are al ready entangled in the fall of prices • and the facts which it is our duty to record on this subject are precisely identical with the customary results of fallacious experiments . and incorrect principles of public economy.—Times. WHAT'S IN A NAME.—The Christian name of Napoleon is very common amongst the lower classes, especially in the neighbourhood of Paris. Inconvenience is very often caused by its being so frequent, and the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police was called on to try a case of robbery arising therefrom. On the Quai d'lvry are several persons, whose Christian names are Napoleon, and strange to say, they are ordinarily called by them. In November last, a letter arrived by the Post-office, ad dressed "Monsieur Napoleon, Quai de la Gare d'lvrY," and the postman delivered it at the residence of a car penter, named Napoleon Augeron. On opening it, it was found to contain an intimation that a parcel with money had been forwarded by the Strasburg railway. Although Augeron expected no remittance, and knew nothing of the writer of the letter, he found it convenient to assume that he was the Napoleon for whom the money was destined. He sent his son, who is also named Napoleon, to the railway station, and he claimed and obtained the parcel. He found it to contain 315 fr.; he quietly pocketed the odd 15fr., and gave the 300 fr. to his father, saying that was all he had received. After awhile the father was disagreeably surprised at being called on by a neigh bour named Fort, another Napoleon, to produce the money which he had appropriated. "But" said Augeron, " the money was destined for M. Napoleon, of the l ! , ./ ort, de la Gare, and lam Napoleon !" " No," As, however, Napoleon Augeron could not "It is I who am the Napoleon to whom it w s o a a d s i _ d u s ee ent th r: against him, and he and his son were proceeded .

The useful population in many of the villages is rapidly declining ; even during the present week numbers have gone from their homes, and hun dreds more are preparing to depart in the spring. In the village of Whaplode 47 houses are unoccupied, and in other places a like proportion of untenanted cottages may be observed. The number of wives deserted by their husbands in this district may now be reckoned by hundreds ! WINES. Good Draught Ports and Sherries ••.. • • .... 245. per dozen.

ALLSOPP & SONS' PALE OR BITTER ALES have been unquestionably vouched, by the most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, to be " a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the inva lid and the robust ; and as tending, from the pure and wholesome nature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter derived from hors alone, which they contain, to pre serve the tone and Vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the restoration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or irritability." In alt cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, note meet the tie sired eiroct more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fermentation is conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not occasion that acidity of stomach created by the less perfectly fer mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from ell other prepara tions of molt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter, thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently more easy of digestion. They resemble, Indeed. from their lightness, a wine of Molt rather than an ordinary fermented In usion ; and It is very sa tisf octory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en tirely free from every kind of impurity.".
