The scene is laid in Sussex, and the interest of the plot is strictly domestic, forming a striking contrast with the lbrmer produc tions of the same popular writer.

The overman was attempt ing to leave the place, when a portion of the roof fell upon his foot, and threw him down, but he contrived to drag him self out, and shouted for assistance. A party of hewers, who were at work in another part of the mine, hastened to the spot, and distinctly heard the groans of one of the men, but were unable to reach him for some time. On clearing away the rubbish, the three were found dead, but not much muti lated, so that it is supposed their d,ath was caused by suffo cation. The men had been warned that the roof was dan gerous, but having only two or three corves of coal to remove, they persisted in working till the catastrophe occurred. BT THE AUTHOR OF " WHITEFRIARS."

I Evening .. 57 minutes after 12, colonial competition, we have been shouldered out of important maritime advantages, which we had the credit of originating, and for a long time almost exclusively held. The several reasons to be assigned for our having been thus disarmed of so powerful an element of national prosperity, are traced with great ability by Mr. CHARLES ENDERBY, in his ad mirable reply (which has been recently published in the form of a pamphlet, and to which we recommend our mercantile men to give a careful perusal) to a letter which was addressed to him by Mr. PRESTON on behalf of parties connected with the British shipping interest. To the inquiry, whether a system of superior efficacy could not be devised for resuscitating our cetaceous trade, and to an extent not only beyond what we formerly enjoyed, but beyond that to which it has at present been carried by other states, Mr. END ERBY has satisfactorily replied in the affirmative. This gentleman has elaborated sta tistics, which are conclusive as to the errors of our past policy, and full of promise in favour of his re generative project. He has shown that this wide field of maritime enterprise, looking to the vast distance between England and those seas which are chiefly frequented by the monsters of the deep, cannot be successfully compassed by individual efforts ; that a company ought to be chartered by the Crown, and that their operations should be centred in the Auck land Islands, which, situated in the South Pacific ocean, a distance of 160 miles from Stewart's Island, the southernmost of the New Zealand group, render them highly eligible for the purposes of a whaling station. These islands were first discovered, in 1806, by the captain of one of the whaling ships belonging to the firm of Mr. ENDERBY, which led to their being secured to the British Crown. To the former extension of the whale fisheries have we been indebted for accessions of geographical knowledge and the establishment of new channels of trade. We have not at present space for more than a cursory notice of this important subject. We shall take another opportunity of re turning to it. The benefits that would at tend the adoption of any well-devised scheme for raising the British whale fishery from its depressed condition are too numerous and too national to be slightly indicated. It is an astounding fact of itself, that the Americans have 730 vessels engaged in the trade, giving employment to 20,000 seamen. We think Mr. ENDERBY deserves great credit for the excellent manner in which he has brought under public notice a matter of intrinsic national interest. The proceedings of Parliament during the brief period of the present session that has already elapsed, exhibit a remarkable contrast to the usual and accustomed course. A greater amount of business has been transacted, more important propositions have been submitted to the Legislature than has ordinarily been the case in as many weeks as there have been sitting-days since their meeting. Two measures have already passed through both Houses, and received the Royal assent, which, although limited in their du ration, are calculated to confer vast benefit on the public in general ; and, strange to say, although they interfere materially with the interests of two great and influential parties, they have been suffered to pass almost sub silentio, without a single voice being raised in deprecation, or a single Member attempting an opposition. A general truce appears to have been proclaimed, party tactics and party warfare for once have been wanting. The extraordinary nature of the emergency has silenced the most fastidious caviller and Whig and Tory, Free-trader and Protectionist, Conservatist and Radical unite in according to the Government the tribute of admiration, which the tone of their statements, the spirit of their propositions, and their manifest desire to meet the extraordinary difficulties of their position, in an enlightened and statesmanlike manner, so eminently deserve, and appear to be animated with a sincere desire to judge each measure on its intrinsic merits. And, although there may be some slight differences as to the details, the general features of the Ministerial propositions have hitherto been received with almost unanimous appro bation. of the nation, its peace and tranquillity, imperatively demand. The Madrid mail of the 22d has not arrived. We received the Paris papers of Wednesday at a very late hour this morning. The publication in their entirety of the documents re lating to the Spanish marriages has produced a most damaging effect on the character of M. GUIZOT, and on the prospects of the stability of his Ministry. Many well-informed parties consider that, after the exposure of his intrigues that has taken place, his continuance in office will be impossible, inas much as no foreign power can safely enter into nego tiations with a Minister who has shown himself so utterly wanting in good faith as M. GUIZOT has done throughout these transactions. The deficiency in the last wheat harvest of France is greater than was at first supposed. According to the Journal des Debais, it will be necessary, in order to supply the deficiency, to import between the present time and the next harvest as much wheat as had been already imported up to the 31st of December last. g""The Chamber of Peers were on Wednesday engaged in discussing the Bill authorising the importation of corn until the 31st July, which it was supposed would pass unanimously. Bread riots are still of frequent occurrence in the French provinces, and, as a prcof of the serious apprehen sions entertained by the Ministry, we may mention the fact, that in the sitting of Tuesday the Minister of War demanded of the Chamber an extraordinary credit of 4,500,000 f., for increasing in the present year the effec tive force of the army in the internal military divisions, alleging, as the reason of this increase, the commotion which has been already manifested in the central and western departments. The Presse publishes the following absurd story, which it professes to have received from London:— " A letter, which we have just received from London, gives us some interesting details of a very animated explanation, which, it states, has taken place between her Majesty Queen Victoria and Lord Palmerston, relative to cert,in letters from that Minister, which had allen into thehands of Donna Maria of Portugal, and from which it would appear that he had taken a most active part indirectly in the late insurrec tion, moved by the desire, and led on by the hope, that the revolution, if victorious at Lisbon, would re act on Madrid, and that the fall of Donna Maria might lead to that of Queen Isabella. A copy of these letters was sent to the King of the Belgians, whose nephew the King of Portugal is. Ferdinand-Auguste-Francoise- Antoine, husband of the Queen of Portugal, is not merely nephew to the King of the Belgians; he is also cousin german to Prince Albert, husband of the Queen of England ; brother to the Duchess de Nemours ; and brother to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, husband of the Princess Cle mentine. All these ties were not sufficient to arrest Lord Palmerston in the prosecution of his resentments. What must be thought of a Minister whose policy may be thus translated—Perish two thrones (perhaps three) • rather than my rancour?" The losses sustained by the French in their late'battle in Algiers were very considerable. They acknowledge themselves that they had 30 men killed and 100 wounded. The Arabs contested the ground obstinately. The battle began in the afternoon and ended at night. fall.

'While we are endeavouring to foster the agricultural spirit of the sister island, and to elicit from its soil the greatest amount of nutrition which its natural fertility, aided by the application of scientific treatment, can possibly produce, the facilitation of the transit of that increased quantity of provisions must by no means be forgotten. It would be absurd, indeed, to stimulate works of a reproductive character with out likewise extending the means of rapid and con venient communication, whereby that reproduction may be made available. The necessity of aiding the formation of new railroads throughout Ireland is therefore obvious. Unless some movement of this kind be made, a moiety of the advantages arising from all our preceding efforts for the alleviation of the sufferings of its population will be entirely lost. That the patronage of this species of enterprise should, to be effectual, spring from Government itself is equally obvious, seeing that a national undertaking of such ex traordinary magnitude necessitates a legislative super vision and assistance. The justice of these considera tions has been long acknowledged by every one who has regarded the condition of the Irish labourers and the comparative stagnation of Irish commerce. Hitherto, however, an accumulation of evils and a succession of emergencies have diverted the attention of the Legislature in a dif ferent direction, and left the matter altogether in abeyance. It was, consequently, with peculiar satisfaction that we observed, on the evening of Lord Jous; RussELL's memorable statement, that the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn announced his intention to bring the question immediately under the con sideration of Parliament ; and it was with still more peculiar satisfaction we observed the Premier con gratulating himself upon that promise from the lips of Lord G. BENTINCK. On the evening of the 3d inst. the Noble Lord the representative of Lynn will intro duce a "Bill to stimulate the prompt and profitable employment of the people by the encouragement of railways in Ireland." The advantages resulting from some such arrange ment for the construction of railroads in Ireland are wholly incalculable. By multiplying the means of transit in the manner proposed, the moral condition of the people would ultimately be improved pro portionately with the improvement of their physical condition—the interests of civilization would be pro moted equally with the interests of commerce—the intellectual capacities of the community would he developed simultaneously with their bodily capacities. It is estimated by Mr. W. R. COLLETT that, providing the Government acceded to the wishes ex pressed by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, 150,000 persons would be actively and profitably employed within 48 hours from the announcement. But this instanta neous benefit, vast as it is in importance, is scarcely worthy of a moment's thought, when its ulterior con sequences are considered. As far back as 1838 a report was laid before the House of Lords in refer ence to the prosecution of railway enterprise in Ire land. That report, voluminous in its nature, and re markable in its inferences, has received the sanction of the Legislature in a very peculiar manner by its having been the perpetual authority in relation to the statistics of Ireland ever since the period of its publication. It was the production, as will be re membered, of the Commissioners appointed in October 1836, in consequence of a motion of the Marquis of L ANSDOWNE, representing the advisability of exa mining the opportunities afforded for the establishment of steam-transit in Ireland, and the nature and extent of the advantages resulting therefrom. It was then the subject of comment by the present Lord Presi dent of the Council, that those advantages would necessarily include the incitement of agricultural enterprise, the increase of employment, and the enlargement of the mercantile industry of the popu• lation by opening the western ports of the island directly to the trade of America. Had the Noble Mar quis extended his survey to the future, instead of re stricting it to the present, the line of sober Parlia mentary deduction would still have remained un crossed. He might have enlarged, not merely upon the advancement of husbandry, the fruitfulness of the crops, and the prolific multiplication of the live stock, which would be the inevitable effect of such a legis lative interference, but he might also,with full reason, have speculated upon the moral and social im provements which would by necessity accrue from that determination. In 1845, no less than 3,251,901 quarters of grain and meal were imported to this island from the Irish harbours, the importation having risen to that amount, since 1817, from 699,809 quarters. Upon a proportionate ratio of increase, calculating the greater facilities of communication, and the establishment of a direct intercourse with the United States, what might not he the extension of agricultural exportation beyond what would be necessary for home consumption Besides this, the fisheries as well as the corn-fields, the manufactories as well as the farm-yards, would be afforded a wonderful stimulus by the opening up of fresh markets for the produce of each. Above all the diffusion of railway enterprise would ensure the happiness and enlightenment, as well as the wealth and prosperity of Ireland ; it would place Ireland in the midst of that flux and reflux of civilization which flows continually between the two hemispheres. At a time when so much of public attention has been dray . vn to the expediency of fostering the old established, and creating fresh nurseries for British seamen, one is naturally led to consider any one of the causes which have led to the limitation of our resources, so desirable to have at command, in the event of aey national and hostile emergency. Owing to the introduction of steam, which has stimulated other countries to increase their naval power, and necessarily induced corre sponding exertions on our part for the aug mentation of our maritime force, a natural and considerable demand has arisen for the services of British seamen ; and more than once of late years, and when we have been critically circumstanced with foreign powers, great difficulty has been experienced in obtaining the requisite number of hands for effi ciently manning our ships. Formerly, we had an able body of seamen in reserve, who were engaged in the once flourishing and profitable trade of whaling. They formed an admirable source for recruiting our squadrons, in case of need. During the last war we drew a force of nearly 10,000 com petent seamen from the Greenland fleet of whaling ships, and were thus enabled to keep the enemy in check, who threatened our coasts, during the unavoid able absence of Lord NELSON. From a variety of causes, which might have been easily counteracted by due reflection upon their nature, this invaluable British trade—particularly the Southern Whale Fishery—has been reduced to the narrowest limit.4. l Both as regards the ends of national profit and the purposes of national defence, this result is much to he deplored. In 1790 Mr. PITT pronounced the Southern Whale Fishery to be a "source of immense treasure." The loss we have suffered in the above respect our is trade t h he as m r a o p r i e d l t y o d b e e c lin g e r d e , t red,t t e he seeing A m e r c t a h n a t h w a w i hilst creased in a surprising ratio, g present ratio, so much so that, re v i ew i ng commencement to t t h h e e fl * t h i ry , from r shi i p t s s scarcely average o ne - tenth of those wh i ch ha ve been actually employed by our enterprising rivals in this branch of commerce. Through gross neglect and mismanagement, the natural incentives to foreign and The magnificent statement of Lord Jons RUSSELL on Monday evening, setting forth the Ministerial views with respect to Ireland, and the projects by which it is hoped that the social state and condition of that unhappy land may be permanently ame liorated, and her destitute inhabitants provided with their daily bread during the continuance of the famine that has reduced the strength and prostrated the physical energies of the sufferers, presents so wide a field, so great a variety and abundance Of topics, all worthy of the fullest discussion, that the mind is bewildered, and feels a difficulty in selecting from the ample store of materials the points to which it will first direct its attention—each appears to be most pressing—until it is displaced by some other of more paramount importance. It is valuable, not merely from the enactments which it shows to be in contemplation, but also from what it expressly negatives the intention of bringing forward ; from the principles it enunciates and those it repudiates. It deals with the temporary provision for present exigencies and the means for the future regeneration of the people, for affording them a lasting prosperity, and averting, as far as human foresight is capable of doing, the possibility of the recurrence of such harrowing scenes of misery and wretchedness as have been exhibited in the sister kingdom within the last few months. The House felt the necessity of some breathing time before they could enter into the calm and deliberate consideration of the several matters, and the discussion was by common consent adjourned until Monday next, in order that the Members may have full time to reflect on it in all its bearings. We alluded briefly yesterday to some of its propositions— to some only, for it was manifestly impossible within the space that could be devoted to any subject in a daily journal to advert, however slightly or passingly, to all its comprehensive details. - His Lordship brought before the House the general state of Ireland, its present condition,,the motives by which the Government was influenced in bringing forward what is generally termed the Labour-rate Act, and what had taken place under that statute and the other enactments in force—how far these several measures had succeeded, and where they bad failed, and the causes of that failure. There was no desire to cast blame on any parties, or to reproach them, either for omissions or commissions, but there was a perfect justification of the Executive, and the clearest evidence afforded of the gigantic nature of their exertions, without which the destitution and suffering would have been fearfully augmented. The numbers of persons employed on the public works, amounting to half a million of labourers, the staff engaged in superintending the labour of that vast number show ing no less than 11,587 persons so occupied; two and a half millions, or nearly one-third of the entire population of Ireland, supported by advances from the national exchequer of from 7,000,000/. to 8,000,000/, sterling per month ; presentments amount ing in the whole to 2,410,2161., a moiety of which is to be defrayed by the public, and the remaining half only to be repaid by the landowners in the several districts by easy instalments—all attest the anxiety of the Government to mitigate the evil, to make the burden fall as lightly, as possible on the proprietors of the soil. His Lordship at the same time explicitly warns the landlords of the necessity of great exertion their own parts, and the danger of hoping or expect ing too much from any Government; they must fully discharge their duties incidental to their own posi tion, and assist the Government and Legislature by their cordial co-operation in carrying into execution the measures that may be adopted. As to the temporary expedients, we can only say, hat no new public works are to be sanctioned; while ;hose in progress are to be concluded. An extended sphere of duties is to be given to Belief Committees for electoral divisions, who are to receive subscrip- tions, levy rates, and obtain donations from the Go vernment, and therewith to distribute rations of soup and other food to the destitute poor, allowing the labouring men to work on their own plots of ground or for the neighbouring farmers; the whole to be under the control and superintendence of Sir Jour; BURGOYNE. A sum of 50,000/. is also to be lent to landlords for the purpose of procuring seed, to be re- paid before the 31st December next. The perma nent measures will require greater consideration than we can afford them at present—which their vast im- portance and probable effect on the future prospects MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were nearly 10,000 bales, including 4,000 American on speculation. There was more animation, though without alteration ,in prices.

The produce markets were without any material alteration. The Consul Market is very steady this morning at 91% for the Account, and at 91% % for immediate transfer.

CORN-EXCHANGE—FRIDAY. We have to report the arrival of a fair average quantity of English Wheat, for our market this week; and the stands were well filled with samples of both red and white, some of which were those left over from Monday. The attendance of buyers being small, the trade ruled dull, at, in moat in stances, a decline in the quotations of Is. per quarter. In Foreign Wheat next to nothi ng was d o i ng ; yet t h e h o ld ers refused to accept lower prices. There was an increased supply of Barley on show ; while the sale for that article was heavy, and the currencies had a downward tendency. We could make no progress in the sale for Malt, as most of the larger buyers were out of the market. When sales were pressed lower rates were submitted to. Oats, though in short supply, were dull, at barely stationary prices, Beans, Peas, aifd Flour heavy, at late figures. Upwards of 20,000 barrels of Ffdur have arrived from America this week. 1 ' ' ARRIVALS. Wheat. ' Barley,. English —..— 4,210 qrs. 4,050 drs.

James Easton, Richard Mullins, William Mattin, and James Key, lads, belonging to the union workhouse of the parish of Shoreditch, were charged with stealing a quantity of old iron, the property of the trustees of the parish of Shoreditch, and Thomas Barton, an occasional pauper, was also charged with aiding and abetting them in the execution of their design. Mr. Thomas, the master of the workhouse; said that from information he had received, lie set a watch upon the actions of the first four prisoners, who were inmates of the house, and subsequently they were perceived one by one removing from an outhouse pieces of iron, consisting of screws, &c., to another portion of the premises. As soon as had been collected what was supposed sufficient for their bag, the latter was filled, and one of them got over the wall which leads to the street, another of them got on the - top thereof, and to him was handed the bag, which was immediately let fall into the other lad's arms, but the weight of the bag knoCked him down. At this moment the prisoner Barton, who was on the outside of the wall, gave a shrill whistle, to intimate to the others that they were being watched. They were all immediately taken into custody. The first four prisoners said, each of them, that they had not " grub " enough allowed them' in the workhouse, and they were going to sell the iron to procure some. Barton said he knew nothing whatever of the other pri soners. He had been relieved at the werkhouse, but they had put him to break stones, which he was unable to do, as one side of him was paralysed. The MAGISTRATE decided that the first four prisoners should be sent to prison for embezzling the said property, and that Barton should be discharged, and directed that the officers should take him to a medical man, in order that it might be seen what would be the most proper work for him to do._ THE COUNTY OF MAYO. The county of Mayo is rather larger than Norfolk. Its population is less by about 25,000, having been in 1841, 38,000. The total area is 1,363,000 statute acres. Three fifths of the whole county may be said to be made up of waste lands, and of these nearly half a million of acres are returned as reclaimable. The people of this county, so far as we can judge from official statements, appear to be as peaceful as those of any shire in Great Britain. Their ca lendars have not furnished arguments to the authors of Coercion Bills, and the criminal returns of the seven years ending in 1844 (the latest at hand) do not show a single ex ecution. We hear of Mayo chiefly through the crowds of harvest labourers, who annually scrape together a little money in England by the most self-denying economy, that they may pay the rent of potato-plots, and secure a winter's plenty for their families at home. The county which is thus possessed of such vast unde veloped resources, and which is inhabited by a race who prove themselves not incapable of toil, frugality, or fore sight, belongs to that region of Ireland in which the present calamity is most deeply felt. The loss of the potato and oat crops has not been anywhere more extensive, and no county presents a picture of more wide-spread and. appalling misery. Famine and fever are rapidly thinning the popula• tion. The deaths are found too frequent for inquests, and even the decencies of sepulture are often foregone in the desperate extremity to which the living are reduced. Yet there is no outbreak of violence. The strong man wastes away from day to day, and in the end sinks over his work. The aged, and the helpless of all kinds, lie down when the last hope is gone, and calmly await the issue. The case of this patient and suffering people ap peals powerfully to every humane sympathy. All that the utmost effort can do should be done to alleviate their misery. But we are also bound to consider carefully, and to use boldly, the best means in our power for permanently raising the condition of this peasantry, and securing them, if it be possible, against a recurrence of such afflictions. With such a soil and such a population as we have described, this ought not to be a task beyond the powers of the Legislature. or e have shown on former occasions a mode in which, as it seems to us, it might be performed without difficulty. It is, however, about to be attempted in a different way. Lord John Russell has dis closed the leading features of the policy by which he hopes to regenerate Ireland. If this policy is at all likely to suc ceed, it would seem fair to infer that its most striking and decisive results must be experienced in Mayo. There, if anywhere, the materials of a new social creation are ready to the hand of the legislator. No Atlantic intervenes be. tween the land that wants labour and the labourer that wants work. The natural resources of a colony, and the industrial and moral powers of an old country, are there brought together. A policy which is good for any thing ought to be able to produce in Mayo the comfort and prosperity of Norfolk. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat at Westminster to-day and took unopposed lunatic petitions and appeals. MORRIS V. MORRIS. --JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued yesterday upon an appeal mo tion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England. The suit was instituted for the purpose of perpetuating testi mony, and one object for which that perpetuation was sought having been attained, an application was made to the Vice- Chancellor of England to allow the publication of the depo sitions. Against that application,lit was urged that it ought not to be allowed, inasmuch as those depositions were to be used in Ireland. The Vice-Chancellor of England ordered the publication of the depositions, and from that decision the parties appealed. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that the course pursued in the Court below was correct, and or dered the judgment to be affirmed with costs. His Lordship having disposed of the unopposed lunatic petitions in his paper proceeded to hear the further argu ments on the part-heard appeal of Morrison v. Morrison, which occupied the Court the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) WELLS v. DOUGLAS. This was a cause which turned upon the construction of a will. It appeared that the testatrix (Mrs. Mary Learner) be queathed her property to her sister during her lifetime, and after her demise to go in trust for the use of her first cousins (Mary Johnson, Sarah Lovell, and Lucy Attey), to be paid to them " separate and distinct from their husbands, and at their decease to go to their children. The arguments having been concluded, His LonDsmr delivered judgment. It was contended by the words "separate and distinct from their husbands, &c. that a class of husbands had been created, and that the pro perty could not go to the children mentioned in the will, until the decease of all these husbands. But the meaning was clearly no other than if the adjective, " respective," had been used. It was also contended that the pronoun "their" could not correctly qualify the word " decease," unless it meant cotemporaneoas demise. The construction was cer tainly most careless, but he thought the meaning obvious, and the same as the preceding period in question. On the whole, therefore, there could be no reasonable doubt as to the construction of the will. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MAGDALEN COLLEGE. The further hearing of this cause, which has been before the Court for some time, was postponed. ALLEGED MUTINY ON BOARD TIIE COLUMBIA.— We yesterday communicated the melancholy loss of Captain Rathbone, of the Columbia, who, with the mate and several of the crew, were washed overboard on the voyage from New York to this port. We have just learned, and with regret, that after the captain's death, the crew became insubordinate. There were but six cabin passengers on board; and the crew, it is alleged, broke into the cabin, pilfered it, and also over hauled the luggage of the passengers, throwing what ap peared useless into the sea. The Columbia, which had lost her foremast and several of her spars, was spoken soon after wards by the Lady Falkner, and asked if assistance were re quired? One of the passengers, with a speaking trumpet, shouted "yes," one of the crew answering "no." She was boarded, and the mate of the Lady Falkner took her in com mand. The crew strenuously wished to put into Cork; he took a pilot on board as if for that purpose; but, deceiving them, brought the vessel here, Captain Cropper, sent out by the consignees, boarded her this morning in the Channel, and several of the crew have been placed under arrest. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.—A special meeting of this society was held yesterday, at the house of the Scottish Hos pital, in Crane court, to consider a proposal which had been made by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for the purchase of those premises, in order to form a site for the erection of a public record-office.

Mr. Wonoswoani now moved to have the verdict entered for the plaintiff, and also for a rule to increase the verdict to 88/. 17s. Bd., that amount of professional labour by the plain tiff having been proved, commencing with the appointment of the committee on the 13th of December, to the end ofJely, 1846, when it was contended that the plaintiff ceased to be the solicitor of the company. Mr. Justice Erie having consi dered that the committee was appointed on the Gth of Ja nuary, directed the. jury accordingly. The Learned Counsel then read an affidavit, showing that obstructions had been thrown in the way of the plaintiff's obtaining the minute-book and other papers for the purpose of proving his case. The Court granted a rule on the affidavits, but deferred their decision on the other points, they having intimated that they could not increase the damages to the amount sought. COMMON PLEAS.--i THIS DAY.) No case of any public interest came under the considers• titn of the court this morning. SECONDAttIEs'—(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. LADY FRANCS TWYSDE'N. This was an inquiry to ascertain of what property the de fendant was possessed of within the bailiwick of the city of Lordon, under proceedings in outlawry, defendant having been " waived" or otttlawed. Evidence was adduced to show that defendant is entitled, under a marriage settlement, to the interestof 13,649/. 14. 3d. Three per Cent. Consols, but which was 'now.paid over by the trustees to the United Kingdom Life Assvance Com pany, who had advanced money to Lady Twysden, by way of annuity. The July dividend was paid over to the com pany, on the 3d of December. Defendant was also -entitled to a sum of money in the Three per Cents. Reduced, and an interest in a mortgage for 6,0001. Mr. CAREW, the solicitor to defendant said, that he should be happy to assist in forwarding the inquiry, but as the legal adviser of Lady Twysden, he felt great difficulty in answering any questions. Mr. J. K. SMITHIES, who appeared on behalf of the Crown, said no questions would be asked as to . any communications between him and his client. OARBW said that he received dividends in last on the 2,000/. or 3,0004, but did not know the exact amount. Lady Twysden received interest during her life on the mort gage. The Learned SECONDARY said it would be better to adjourn the case for more specific evidence. There coulci, however, be no doubt as to the interest under the settlement. The jury, under the direction of the Learned SECONDARY, returned a verdict as to the interest on that sum, the other matters standing open for further inquiry. PARKINS AND ANOTIIhR V. NOON. This was an action to recover the sum of 6!. 12s. 7 1 Ad. for goods. Plaintiffs are cutlers at Sheffield, and defendant is a tradesman in the city. The amount was not disputed, the only question being whether the term of credit had expired under the custom of the trade, which was generally three months credit and a three months bill, but it was not an ab solute custom to take a bill, and three months having ex pired. The jury found for the plaintiff.

The blow dashed the jug in pieces, and cut Mrs. Hay's hand very much, with which she was fortunately able to fend it off, otherwise it might have killed her, she being at the time in a very delicate state. The prisoner was sentenced to a fine of el., or one month's imprisonment.

The prisoner said that they kept some valuable articles of dress in the ball-room, and put her out without them. She was dismissed, with a lecture on the impropriety of her conduct.
