- - OF AN ACTOR AT MAN CHESTER. An inquest was held yesterday at the Royal Infir raary, bf fore Mr. J. Roberts, solicitor, the deputy co-. Toner of the borough, on view of the body of Peter Fitzsimons comedian, aged forty years, a married man, but not residing with his wife. Egerton Berry, of No. 22, Kennedy -street, stated that the &ceased lodged at their house, and had done so for some time. On Tues day evening the sth instant, witness heard a knocking in deceased's room, and on going there with a candle saw deceased sitting on the floor, with his back to the wall, and hie throat cut and bleeding. Witness ran down stairs and told his sister, and then ran for a neigh bour, named George Lucas, to come to his assistance, and Lucas ran for Mr. Blackmore, surgeon, who accom panied him to the deceased's room. Deceased was found alive, with an op.n razor lying by his site, and, at the suggestion of Mr. Blackmore, was at once taken to the infirmary. Mary Anne Berry stet( d that deceased lodged with her, and that about three months ago he had a fit of c:rieking. Since then he had been very steady, up to about three weeks ago, when he went to the theatre very tipsy, and returned home afterwards and took to his bed, and remained there a fortnight During that time he only got up at night, and then only to get quite tiesy, but on corning to himself, he wrote a note to Mr. Sloan. his employer, which I took and de livered for him. Mr. Sloan sent word he would have nothing more to do with him, which seemed to trouble him mach. After thet he went on drinking, and on `Tuesday committed the rash act described. Richard B,trry, a son of the last witness, gave similar evidence, stating in addi t i on that d,. ceased used to get upend wa lk &beret the room all right, as if he could not sleep. De mised several times eouver'sed with him about suicides, and on the Sunday before his death asked if there had been any suicides committed in town. Witness told hire two or three, when he inquired if he would have nerve to cut hi: own throat, and witness replied no; he asked which he thoiteeht tha easiest death, shooting or cutting the throat. Deeeas,d had often eld him he wished he Was deal- Mr. house sur_ eon at the Infirmary, stated th - et deceased was adantti , d, as before stated, and that he died on Sunday last, from the wound in his throat_ Although he was sensible, he gave no reason for the 'rash act, yet :Omitted that he had done it him self. Amongst other matters, he told witness that he was stariftne; at the time, but he did not allege that as a reason for 'cutting his throat. Verdict, Temporary insanity,— hie enchester Cow ier. BURGLARY AT PLYMOUTH. It is not often that we are clllf.d up:m to record de preciations of this kind, as tAing place at Plymouth, but we suppose that sometimes we must, expect a visi tation, as well a; our neighbours. During the night, between Tuesday and Wednesday, the house of Admiral Phillips, on M :unt Pleasant-terrace, Millbay-road, was forcibly entered through the kitchen window, and the revel, gathered together the plate that was in daily use, but owing to, it is supposed, some disturbance, they only :sorted the sliver from the plated articles, and then sud denly decamped, walking out by the front door. The only articles stolen were a plain silver watch, a small gold chain si , ll seals, and with a silver guard attached to the watch, and a gold Lisbon chain. These articles were oil' small pecuniary value, but Admiral Phillips feels the Floss severe, as they were a kind of keepsake recently given to him by his late deceased son. The kitchen window was broken and the frame had been bored with a girnblet, but neither of these circumstances were satis factory to the police. There is considerable mystery about the whole affair ; but at the present time it might prove cruel to state further, and we therefore withho!d any further allu-ion to the suspicions at present. The policeman who was on that beat says that he tried the louse both at one and at half-oast two that morning, and 'found all safe. Lieutenant Holman and his corps have since been very industrious in endeavouring to discover the thieves.—Plyncoutlf Journal. THE LINEN-DRAPERS.

PASSENGERS —This importtuit extensic)n o f Eastern Counties Railw,iy was oiiened on Thurs '- lav for p the s sienger-trains. This line branchesies off about a mile below, the Ely station, and passes Chittisham, M anes , March, and Whittlesea, running on to the North Western at Peter borough, its entire length being . thirty miles. Th e works over the Wash. and the extensive timber bridge over the Old Bedford River, have been the principal engineering difficulties in forming the line. It was intended to have been opened as far back as last September, but various slips taking place in tl e embankments in the vicinity of the Wash, it was necessarily deferred until the works were restored, and the foundation properly consolidated. The connecting of the Eastern Counties w i t h the North Western will prove of the greatest importance to Norfolk. Sufibik, Zsses, Cambridgeshire, and the more inland counties. Ar rangements have been entered into by the two companies, by which goods from Manchester, Birmingham, and other manu facturing towns, will be conveyed direct to the above-nxned districts.

PRE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16, 1847 -_ø - i MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. David Cleary was indicted for stealing ahandker chief, the property of Henry Joseph Wood. The facts of the case were of the ordinary character. The prisoner, when called upon for his: defence, de livered, in a tremulous:tone of voice apparently with the deepest feelings of contrition and a sense of acute suffering, an unusually well-worded address to the jury, in which he stated that he had only just come out of the House of Correction, where he had been detained in de- fault of a trifling fine; that he was in extreme destitu tion, having been refused the slight es t 'diet' both by his father, who was in independent circumstances, and by the parish authorities. He was found Guilty. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in passing sentence, after communicating with the officer of the House of Correc tion, said the prisoner's audacity and artful duplicity were almost without parallel. It appeared that he had been three times convicted of felony ; twice for violently assaulting the police, and twice for being in a public place for the purpose of committing a felony. The sen tence of the Court upon him was, that he be transported for the term of seven years. Upon hearing the sentence, the prisoner's whining tone changed into defiance, and he left the bar mutter ing curses against the judge and the jury. Joseph Moss was indicted for stealing a bar of lead,i the property of Thomas Ray. It appeared that the prisoner's master had been making some alterations on the premises of the prosecutor, and the prisoner being engaged in carting away rubbish, availed himself of the opportunity to steal the lead. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to three months imprisonment, with hard labour. George Mills was indicted for attempting to pick pockets at the General Post office, ou the night of the 2sth ult. The prisoner was one of a numerous and dexterous gang of thieves, who infest the post-offices at St. Martin's-le-Grand and Charing-cross, about the time when there is the greatest rush of persons before the closing of the boxes, and on the evening named in the in dictment, George Seymour swore that he felt a tug at his pocket, and on looking round saw the prisoner close by, and a servant of the Oriental Club deposed to having seen the prisoner's baud in the pocket of Mr. Seymour. A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the prisoner was sentenced to four months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Charles Dohrman, an itenerant German musician was indicted for stealing a cornopean, the property of a countryman of named Jacob Vanc!enbergh. The evidence of the prosecutor was given through the medium of an interpreter, as well as the prisoner's de fence. A constable of the R division deposed to having seen the prisoner enter the prosecutor's shop, in Rosemary lane, about seven o'clock in the evening, and having watched him, owing to his manner being rather sus picious, he saw him take down the trumpet from a hook upon which it hung in the shop, and after he got into the street, place it to his lips and sound it, to lull suspicion. After following him a short distance, he took him into custody. The prosecutor identified the article as his property. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri soner, who implored for mercy in broken English, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE, ' MANSION-HO USE. THE RAILWAY Case.—Mr. P. Scanlan, Mr. W. Killick, Mr. H. Flight, again appeared, before the Lord Mayor for further examination upon the charge of having conspired to defraud Mr. Margetson, of Aldermanbury, of 1001., by borrowing that sum of him upon the security of Direct Lincoln, East Retford, and Sheffield Junction Railway Shares. Mr. Humphrey appeared upon the part of Mr. Margetson, the complainant; Mr. Duncan, the barrister, upon the part of Mr. Scanlan, and Mr. Ballan tine for Mr. Killick and Mr. Knight. Before the case was proceeded with, Mr. J. B. Shuttle worth, of No. 33, East Cheap, one of the provisional coin • rinittee, who had been summoned, and examined as a wit ness on. the preceding examination, appeared before his Lordship to complain, he said, of a false and libellous imputation made upon that occasion. After he had left the justice-room against his character. Mr. DUDCita (for Mr. Scanlan) objected to allow any innovation upon the usual course of proceeding, to be made by one person. The LORD MAYOR said he understood that Mr. Shut.• tleworth's object was to defend himself against a false accusation brought against him in his absence, and which he felt bound, in common justice to himself, to contradict. Mr. Duncan said he considered the application of Mr. Shuttleworth to be heard was entirely against the com mon practice, and submitted that what that gentleman had to say might in some degree prejudice the defen dants. He, therefore, should persevere in opposing the interruption to the case, which after having been once called upon, ought to be allowed to proceed without being at all interfered with. The LORD MAYOR said he certainly should take the liberty to exercise his discretion upon such an occasion, and could not see how the natural desire to correct a calumnious misrepresentation could prejudice person a by whom it,bwi not been made. Mr. Shialtleivoitle thanked the Lord Mayor, and said 'the gross, cahnriny of which he complained was, that Mr. Bevan, the secretary to the company, had said in the justice room, that he (Mr. Shuttleworth) had " fraudulently drawn cheques to defraud the committee of the Stock Exchange. " Here Mr. Shuttleworth pro. duced before his Lordship five cheques, which he had signed in conjunction with two other members of the committee, dated in January and February 1846, and solemnly assured his Lordship that he had never signed any other cheques for, or in connexion with, the company ; that application was not made to the Stock Exchange to fix a settling day until in the mouth of June following ; that the charge made by Mr. Bevan was entirely false ; and that the false imputation having appeared in the news papers, he felt it absolutely necessary to put himself right with his. friends and the public by as publicly giving the most unqualified denial to the statement, con vinced that however inconsiderate he had been in con necting himself with the company, no imputation could justly be fastened upon his honour or integrity during the period of 32 years in which he had carried on busi ness in the city of London. The LORD MAYOR said he believed at the moment the secretary made the statement that there was no truth whatever in it, and he expressed his disapprobation of in speaking so injuriously added that Mr. Shuttle worth hfto: Shuttleworth s t rAtti c iher o .e n w- d ra u os c o t kmn. ofo known th Hn e itao ahfi tmerthat gentl eman h a d left the Justice secretaryLordshipto be a man of high respecta bility, and he was sure that the press would be glad to remove the impression which this false statement was calculated to make. Mr. Ballantine then addressed the Lord Mayor. The Learned Council stated, that th a h t e th b e e d li e e f v .e e n d da t n h t e s case the shares, and th at gent l eman was, was about to be closed sas a r g gt o r e e tr e s eo a tn b u l , r e n t o t h a e l all m p o a n r t e i y e w . 1 1 , c w h o h u a l d d Ar d lpil y nogn. to accept th e o ff er and a b andon alt shownhbb eee been believed, lb m i oee i rvv t re t eo e dr w d y, ebrwdye willingness further proceedings. Mr. Humphrey, the solicitor to Mr. Margetson, was a ware that there were l ega l diffi cu l t i es in this case, hich, if there were grounds of charging moral offences against . the defendants, would be likely to be insurmountable. If, under these circumstances, the Lord Mayor presented no obstacle, the complainant would not proceed further, and the immediate restitution to which his clients considered Mr. Margetson entitled, should be made. His Lordship had, no doubt, performed his duty in investigating the subject of dispute, and had executed the task in a manner which placed both parties under obligations to him. In all probability it would be considered% failure of justice that all parties should be released from further responsibility of attendance, and that the defendants should be relieved from the charge. Mr. Duncan said he fully agreed with the Learned Counsel in what had been stated as to the performance of the part which the Lord Mayor bad found it neces sary to take upon himself, in the course of the painful transactions. All he would say as to Doctor Scanlan, his client, was, that that gentleman felt himself alto. gether guiltless, and was ready to make immediate resti tution, if it should be required. Ur. Humphrey, o n the part of Mr. Margetson, said that that gentleman considered himself defrauded of 1001., and determined not to submit to the less without causing an investigation to be made. How he was de prived of his money it was not necessary to state. Cer tainly he considered it to be a duty towards the public to bring the matter before the Lord Mayor, and he had i t w as for his Lordship t o h t not to be pro ceeded refused to come to any priva te arrangement without the sanction of his Lordship, and decide whether the' case ought or o with. Mr. Margetson entertained no vindi c ti ve feeling towards the defendants, but it would be madne ss to say that the gentleman would n ot be re j oiced to g et back his money—(A laugh)—and he stood in the Court ought or ought not to be abandone , and to act accord- to abide his Lordship's opinion as d to whether the case ingly at that moment. The Loan MAYOR said it was quite impossible for him to have anything personally to do with the business. It appeared to him, from the statements made of the transaction, that a fraud had been committed against the complainant, and he was determined to make every effort in his power, as a magistrate, to do justice in such a case. However, there undoubtedly was, in his belief, difficulties which a jury could not easily overcome, one of the principal of which was the difficulty as to the in sertion of the advertisement, stating that the company had determined to return IL 12s. fid. per share. He felt, under such circumstances, that the course he was bound to take was to discharge the defendants, He at the same time protested against the inference that such a course was to be used as a means of compromise in an act of fraud. The justice-room should not be a nlace to which people would resort to obtain reaitution for money. At the same time he should be always ready and willing to render any assistance to his fellow-citi zens against the machinations of unprincipled men. 'The defendants then left the justice-room, and. Vr Macgetson having had his 1001. returned to him, retied; also. BOW-STREET. Wil l : 1 / 2 m Johnson was placed at the bar before Mr. Jar dine, charged with illegally entering the area of the house of a Mrs. Forsyth, in Russell-street, Bedford square, and stealing some meat, bread, &c., from a safe therein. 1:t appeared that Mr. Ashworth, a next neighbour of the prosecutrix, saw the prisoner get into the area, by clip lbing over the rails. He immediately went to the spot and found the prisoner in the area, who clambered up by the water-butt for the purpose of getting out, and Mr. Ashworth called a constable, arid gave him in custody. He said he went down to get his cap, having thrown it down by accident, and he thought he had a right to go down after his own property.

KINGDOM This was a suit for the purpose of enforcing the specific performance of a contract to deliver to the plaintiff a lease for 96 years of certain houses in West bourne-terrace. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 15. The Court took the special paper to-day. ST. PANCRAS.—SCUDDING V. LORANT. This case occupied the Court the greater part of the day. The point at issue between the parties was, whether a rate, made by the vestry of St. Pancras, for the relief of the poor, on the 12th day of August, 1839, but which was not completed until the subsequent 14th of September, was a legal rate or not within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. The plaintiff, and several other ratepayers, refused to pay the rate, on the ground that it could not be enforced, as some alterations took place in the vestry between these periods, and they were consequently subjected to a dis traint. Believing therate to be invalid,theplantiff brought an action to recover compensation in damages for the injury he had in consequence sustained, but principally with the view of deciding whether the rate was valid or invalid. The jury considered it was valid, and gave a verdict for the parish, thus confirming its legality. A rule calling upon defendants to show cause why a new trial should not be had was subsequently obtained on the ground that the rate was invalid, inasmuch as it was stated to be a rate made on the 12th of August, whereas it was virtually not made until the 14th of September; that it was not signed, in accordance with the Act, by the vestrymen by whom it was made, and was never allowed by the justices. The vestry book alone had been signed, but not until the 14th, the rate being set forth as one made on the 12th of August. Mr. PEACOCK was now heard at great length in sup port of the rule. Mr. WATSON followed on the other side, and con tended that the rate was really made on the 12th of August, although the lists of ratepayers though persons were employed at them from day to day— were not completed until the 14th of September, when it was signed. The Act did not mean that at one single meeting all the parties were to come , and sign the books and make them perfect at that one meeting. Though some alterations did take place between the periods mentioned, there was a sufficient number re maining of the old vestrymen to make the rate. If the proceeding was confined to one day, the making of a rate at all would often become abortive, because the task could not be performed in a day. Mr. PEACOCK replied. The COURT intimated that it would consider the matter. The Court will resume the special paper on Tuesday next. BAIL COURT, Jan. 15. SALES OF SHARES AND SCRIP.—LAMOND V. DEVAL. This was an action to recover the sum of 791., the price of certain scrip sold to the defendant. Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiffs. and Mr. Brain well appeared for the defendant. Mr. OSLE stated that the:plaintiffs, Messrs. Lamond, were very large share-brokers in the city of London, and they occasionally held large sales of shares In the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street. These shares were not only belonging to different persons wishing to sell them, but some of them belonged to Messrs. Lamond. On the 7th of August last a sale was held, and the de fendant made his appearance and bid for several lots. There were ten East Indian shares at twenty shillings, and two lots of others, making in all 791. Some ques tion afterwards arose as to the sale, and ,the only ques tion the jury would have to try was whether the de fendant did or did not purchase the shares. Mr. Kitchen, the clerk to the auctioneer, stated that he remembered the sale on the 7th of August. The de fendant was there and purchased three lots of shares, which came to 791. The money was not paid, nor was there any offer of payment for some time after. By Mr. BRAMWELL—One of the rules of the place is that all shares bid for are forfeited if payment is not made on the day following. Neither the deposit nor purchase-money was paid. Is aware that Messrs. Lamond afterwards sold these shares, and they came to the sum of between 611. and 651. These shares had risen very much in price before the end of the year. The defendant afterwards came to Messrs. Lamond and said that if the shares were delivered to him,' he would pay for them at once. The shares had then been sold. When the defendant bid for them witness wrote down his name. The conditions of sale were read out before the auction began. By Mr. OGLE—The defendant came and offered to take the shares on the same day that they rose in the market. Had . no communication with the defendant before entering his name as the highest bidder for the shares. After some further evidence of no material weight, Mr. OGLE said that he had closed his case. Mr. BRAMWELL said that no case had been made out. It had been held that the entry by the auctioneer of the name of the highest bidder in his book was a written agreement, and that agreement had not been produced. He also objected that the present case came within, the Statute of Frauds, as the shares were not legal shares, and legally transferable. Mr. Justice BALE here recalled Mr. Kitchen, who stated that none of these shares were in companies au thorised by Act of Parliament. They were, however, well known in the market. Mr. Justice ERLE said that they did not then come under the Statute of Frauds. Mr. BRAMWELL then objected that the property was improperly described as "shares" in the declaration, when it was merely certificates of scrip. Besides any ten East Indian shares would have done for the de fendant; there were no specific shares set apart for him, and therefore until the specific property was described by its numbers, or delivered, it was no sale. Mr. Justice ERLE asked Mr. Kitchen whether, in sell ing the ten shares in the East Indian Railway Company, any particular ten were alluded to, or whether the deli very of any ten shares in the company would meet the bargain. The witness replied that any ten would have done. Mr. BRAMWELL then objected, that on their own ad mission the plaintiffs had realised 631. los. o❑ the subse quent sale of the shares, and yet they brought their action for the whole sum of 79/. If the action for goods sold and delivered could be _maintained, the plaintiffs could recover the whole sum ; and if they got their ver dict the defendant had no means of recovering the sum of 63/. 10s., which they had received for the sale of the shams. They were only entitled by right to 151. 10s. Mr. Justice ERLE said, that on all the points but the last he was against Mr. Bramwell. It was clear that there was no accounts stated before action, and therefore the action could not be maintained. Besides, there was an offer to pay the 791. on the delivery of the shares. He thought, therefore, that the plaintiffs should be non suited, giving Mr. Ogle leave to move for a verdict for 791., or 15/. 10s., as the Court should deem fit. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 15. RICHARDSON V. CARMICHAEL. Mr. MARTIN, on the part of the defendant, moved to set the verdict aside which upon the trial at the last sittings after term at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Baron, passed for the plaintiff for a sum of 231. The plaintiff was a bookseller and stationer, and brought his action to recover the amount due for certain articles of stationery to the use of the Doier,. Boulogne, and St. Omer Railway, of which the defendant was one of the members of the managing committee. It was now contended that the verdict was ,against evidence, inasmuch as no proof was given that the goods in question wore supplied to the use of the company; on the contrary, it was proved that some of the goods were sent to the private residence of the secretary. Rule granted. MINNONDE V. KUNTZ AND SOONER. In this cause, which was also tried at Guildhall during ,he last sittings, the verdict passed for the defendant, with liberty for the plaintiff to move to eater the verdict for the sums respectively of 300!. and 1001. The plaintiff was a traffic taker employed by the managing committee, of which the defendants were members, of the Manchester, Southampton, and Oxford Railway, to take the traffic upon the line of the pro jected railway, which was stated to be about sixty miles in length, at the rate of 151. per mile, to be paid in three separate instalments, the first on the commence merit of the work, the second on its completion, and the third was to be contingent upon the passing of the Bill. The first instalment was paid, and it was to recover the amount due upon the second and third instalments that the action was brought. There was also a special count, under which the plaintiff sought to recover a sum of money for extra mileage, the line being sixty-five miles in length instead of sixty ; and also a further sum for extra work in various alterations and additions to the traffic tables, and also obtaining evidence in support of the same. Mr. HUMFREY now moved to set the verdict aside, and enter it for the plaintiff for the sum of 3001., being the amount of the third instalment, the second having been paid into court. Mr. Baron PARKE—The third instalment was condi tional, but the conditions had never been complied with, and therefore that sum could not be recovered. Mr. llumEttEv now contended that the plaintiff was entitled to the same for extra mileage, it having been proved that the line was 65 miles in length. Mr. Baron ALDERSON--YOU can only recover the amount of the second instalment upon that item; the record admits the payment of the first instalment, and the third you cannot recover. Upon this ground you can take a rule to enter the verdict for 251. only. Upon the remaining grounds of the application, via., for remodelling the traffic tables, in consequence of the abandonment of a portion of the line, and obtaining evi dence, the C our t a l so grante d the rule. LAMB V. LAMBERT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; the pro prie,or of the Sunday Times newspaper, to recover from the defendant the sum of 271. for advertisements inserted in the Sunday Times, appertaining to the Jamaica Northern, Southern, and Eastern Connecting Railway, of which the defendant was one of the managing committee. The verdict passed for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. Mr. ti FREY now moved to set the verdict aside, on t,hl7.eghround that th ere was no ev id ence that the order ofthe Co a r 4g a i n v y et , i , b ,a y s A g l i r v . e o n r e l n an b d eh o aof Aguilar, the t c h o e m s p e a c e y t a . r y The COURT thoughttha an _ tthere was e v id ence t o the jury upon the fact, go to refused to grant th e ru l e . In this cau se , Which %%mad tried at 3 LEE U. C."..3 1R0UX [ (.l uildhall durin g the , of verdict3ssl withw as last sittings b e f ore t h e Lord Chief returned for the pl a i nt i ff for the 'on sum 'r , liberty for the defend ant to move to enter a nens . u , it or turn it into a special verdict by consent of the parties, should the Court be o f o pi n i on that the contract was valid. From the evidence given_ upon the trial, it appeared that the plaintiff in the action was the administratrix of Mr. Lee, who, during his lifetime, had purchased two annuities, one immediate, and the other deferred, in the National Loan Fund and Life Assurance Society, of , which society the defendant was the secretary. The object of the present action was to recover from the society the; sum of 3551. paid by the deceased, on the ground that at the period of his entering into the oontract he was not of sound mind. It appeared that shortly after the purchase of the annuities in question, the deceased was confined in several lunatic asylums, and that he died in an unsound state of mind. The question left for the jury to decide by the Lord Chief Baron was, whether the plaintiff was, at the time of making the contract, of a sound mind, and bad the defendant any notice of the same ; or was the contract such an one as would reasonably be entered into by a sane person, without fraud on the part of the company. The jury found that he was of unsound mind at the time of the contract, that the contract was per fectly fair, and that there was not slightest ground for attributing fraud to the company. Mr. GURNEY naw moved, pursuant to leave given at the trial, to enter a nonsuit, on the ground that there was no evidence to show that the deceased was of un sound mind at the time of his entering upon the contract. Mr. Baron PARKE—A departure has recently been made from the old rule, which prevented any person pleading lunacy as the grounds of non-liability ; but it must be set out in the declaration that the plaintiff was known to be of unsound mind. The LORD CHIEF BARON—There is no doubt but that the contract was perfectly fair and honourable, and, for a person in the situation of the purchaser, was highly desirable and advantageous. It was finally arranged that the verdict should be made special in the case by consent of the parties. CROCRFORD V. LORD MAIDSTONE. Mr. JAMES moved in this cause fora new trial, on the ground of misdirection of the Learned Judge who tried the case. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 15. NEWTON AND WIFE V. BOODLE AND OTHERS.-ALLEGED TRESPASS AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT. In this case, which has arisen out of certain proceed ings in Cheltenham regarding Admiral Rickett's pro perty, a rule was obtained by the plaintiffs last term, to show cause why a verdict of guilty should not be en tered against Mr. Norman, one of the defendants ; and why the judgment entered in last Michaelmas term should not be set aside, a term's notice not having been given. The plaintiff complained that the late Lord Chief Justice had improperly withheld the evidence ad duced against the defendant Norman from going to the jury, and that a bill of exceptions, taken by the plaintiff, had not been sealed before the death of the Learned Judge. The action was - for the alleged false imprison ment of Mrs. Newton, who had been taken on a writ. The defendants are Mr. Wroe, the registered proprietor of the Cheltenham Examiner; Mr. Norman, said to be the editor ; and their law agents, Messrs. Boodle and Lawcott ; and the proceedings arose out of a previous action, "Newton v. Norman," for an alleged libel in the newspaper respecting the claims of Mrs. Newton to Admiral Rickett's property, in which a verdict went ler the defendant. A writ for the costs was issued, on which Mrs. Newton was arrested ; hence the present action, which was tried on the 20th of February, 1845. To the declaration not guilty and a justification were pleaded. A verdict of not guilty was given on behalf of Norman, and with regard to the other three, though the trespass was proved, a verdict of justification was returned in their favour. After some other proceedings for delay on the part of the plaintiff, judgment against him was signed on Nov. 14th last, hence the rule fixed for argument today. Mr. Sergeant TALFOU RD was heard at some length against the rule, contending there • was not a tittle of evidence against Mr. Norman, and that with regard to the other point, the regular course of practice had been strictly adhered to. The rule should therefore be discharged. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL followed on the same side. Mr. NEWTON, who conducted his own case, replied in a very long speech. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the rule came before the Court under peculiar circumstances. It appeared on the trial that the Lord Chief Justice had ruled that there was no evidence for the jury against Norman. A bill of exceptions was tendered against the decision of the Judge, and also for the non-production of the writ, or evidence of the writ, on which the alledged trespass had taken place. A note of the exceptions was handed to the Judge, and subsequently the sealing of the bill founded on these notes was de• layed, from the original notes having been mislaid, and from some other circumstances that had arisen. Shortly after this the Lord Chief Justice died, but before the bill of exceptions bad been closed. This was a matter the ' present Court had not the power to remedy. On a former occasion a motion on this head had been dis charged, but that substantial justice might be done the rule in the present form was allowed. Having now gone into the points raised by the present application, and having gone over the notes of the late Lord Chief Justice, he was of opinion that there was no evidence whatever to fix Norman, and he considered the ruling of the late Chief Justice on that head quite correct. On this ground, as well as on the others stated, he considered the rule should be discharged. The rest of their Lordships concurred. Rule accordingly discharged. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, Jan. 15. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) THE DUKE CHARLES OF BRUNSWICK V:VALLANCE. This was an action brought by the Duke of Brunswick against his former solicitor for recovery of a moiety of the costs incurred in the joint defence of the Duke and his attorney to the action brought against them by Barnard Gregory for the alleged conspiracy to hiss and hoot him from the stage of Covent-garden Theatre in February 1843. It appeared that the defendant had obtained an order of Mr. Justice Coleridge for the plaintiff to deliver to the defendant the particulars of his claim in the present action, with dates, &c., and as is usual, restraining the Duke from proceeding with this action until such parti culars were given. A vague statement claiming 6001. as the moiety, was delivered by the Duke, and the declara tion in the action accompanied the statement. The present was an application to set aside the decla ration for irregularity, the same having been delivered in defiance of the order of Mr. Justice Coleridge, the statement of alleged claim being insufficient. An order was made by Mr. Justice ERLE to set aside the declaration for irregularity with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPCY, Jan. 15. IN RE MAYHEW. This bankrupt, who is well known in the literary world for his connexion with the Era newspaper. Punch, Ecc , &c., came up to pass his final examination, which had been adjourned sine die for want of sufficient accounts. Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the bankrupt, and Mr. Braham, a solicitor, and one of the creditors, to oppose. The latter claimed costs for the last opposition, and contended that the order of the Court was, that the bankrupt should not come np again until he had filed a new balance-sheet, and paid the costs. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, the general rule was that the costs should be the costs of the assignees, and the Court fees; to hold to the contrary, would be an extremely bad precedent. It was for the assignees to oppose and not individual creditors, and if costs were allowed to them as a general rule, it would be a pre mium for oppressive opposition, and the bankrupt might be subjected to great injustice. Mr. BRARAM said few debts had been proved, and the one chosen as assignee was silent. The Learned COMM/SSIONER—I need not remind you that there is the official assignee, whose duty it is to look ' after the estate, and it was on his report principally the examination was adjourned. You have taken upon yourself the duty of the assignee, besides, not being of opinion that you are entitled to costs, I do not see why the bankrupt should not now pass. Mr. BRARAM pressed for an adjournment for a short time, for the attendance of Mr. Corks. The Learned COMMISSIONER subsequently said that the bankrupt was entitled to 'pass, the subject of his conduct might be inquired into when he came up for his certificate. The sth of February was appointed for the application for the certificate. SECONDARIES' COURT, Jan. 15. HANKS V. HANKS. The plaintiff in this action resides at Abingdon. The defendant is a cab proprietor at Kensington. The ac tion was brought to recover the sum of 41. Os. 6d., the balance of money lent. The defendant pleaded a set-off. Mr. Hem, who appeared for the plaintiff, proceeded to state the case, from which it appeared that the plaintiff had been violently assaulted in consequence of hi 3 at tempt to obtain payment. The Learned SECONDARY suggested that the matter should be referred to a mutual friend, as evidence given in a court of law between father and son tended to fur. tiler irritate the feelings of each, and to crimination and recrimination. Mr. PARRY, for defendant, said there would be neither on his part, and he had offered to submit the matter. Mr. Hata said his client was not present, and he could not consent. ' The case was then proceeded with. The principal I ever, a dau g ht er an d n i ece were ca ll e d t o p ro ve the loan of 101. by d e f en d ant , an d t h at t h e 51. was p a rt payment.

The case lasted all the morning. Th .P ro .ortal remains of the late Air. Byng, will be it aterred in the fair 'lvault at Wrotham, on Monday neat. y . The action was brought by the executors of Mr. Crockford to recover a considerable sum of money from the defendant, Lord Maidstone, for entrance fees and subscriptions to the club-rooms established by the late Mr. Crockford. The defendant pleaded to a portion of the declaration that the house in question was a common gaming-house. The Lord Chief Baron, who tried the cause, not being of that opinion, so directed the jury, and the jury, in consequence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. It was now contended that there was evidence to show that this was a common gaming-house within the meaning of the Act.—Rule granted. piece of meat, and some other articles, which had been deposited in the safe, hanging in the area, were after wards found in the area, having been thrown on the ground. The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Crowther, aliai Edwin Nalder, was charged wits stealing two silk umbrellas from a shop in Regent street. Police- constable 182 C said he was on duty on Thursday , night, about 8 o'clock, in Regent-street, and saw the pri soner take two silk umbrellas from the door of Mr. Melton's shop, 194, Regent-street. Prisoner was run ning, and held two .umbrellas in his hand. Witness tripped him up as he passed, secured the prisoner and one of the umbrellas, but the other was carried off by one of the prisoner's accomplices. The prisoner, who had been before convicted, was committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. A miserable-looking old woman, named Bridget Moly nerve, was charged betore Mr. Combe with stealing 13 pounds of pork from the shop of Mr. John Conway, a cheesemonger in Gray's Inn-lane.' The prisrmer watched the opportunity, and while Mr. Conway was busy with a number of customers, snatched the pork from the window and ran off with it. She was captured after a sharp chase of nearly a quarter of a mile. The prisoner, who said she was compelled by hunger to steal the pork, was committed for trial. BANK OF ENGLAND.

CHATHAM, JAN. 13.—The left wing of this distinguished and heroic regiment, which signalised itself in bravery- in the recent battles with the Seikhs, at Moodkee, in December, 1845, arrived this evening at Chatham B arrac k s f rom Gravesend. This wing of the regiment consisted of 14 ser geants, 7 corporals, 4 drummers; and 93 privates, with 10 women and 11 children. They embarked at Calcutta on board the ship Plantagenet, and sailed on th e 3d o f A ugust l as t, but, owing to the . ship meeting with an accident on her voyage down the river, was obliged to return to Calcutta, when she underwent repairs necessary for her voyage. She sailed for England on the 2d of September, and put in at St. Helena on the 17th of last month, and there took in water, and arrived at Gravesend on the 12th inst. During the passage the detachment lost by death six men ; one died this morning at Gravesend. One man of the 9th and one man of the 94th came home with the detachment. Lieutenant T. H. Plasket, 31 s t, w as i n c h arge: t hi s o fficer is wounded in the allele. There are four other officers of the 31st came with the troops: Lieut. R. L aw . Lieut. A. Pilkington (this officer is wounded through both ancles), Lieut. E. A. 1%. oel, and Assistant-Surgeon Hampden H. Massey. This part of the regiment is very sickly, and the greater part are wounded, there being only about forty effective men among them. Very general complaint prevails amongst the soldiers re garding the ship, as the pumps were kept working every four hours during the whole voyage. There were several pas sengers came home in this vessel, among whom was Lord Henry Gordon, Captain of the 4 th Native Infantry; Mr. Shand, a cadet; Miss Sutherland, sister of Major Sutherland, of the 21st British Fusiliers; and Mrs... Chapman, a lady of one of the judges of Calcutta; Mrs. Kelly, wiwidow i of Lieu tenant Michael Kelly, of the 63 d , w ho was killed n action, and also the widow of Lieutenant and Adjutant George Sims, of the 62d, and the widow of the quartermaster sergeant of the same regiment, who fell in battle, and Mrs. Turnbull, a n officer's widow of the Company's service. This detachm en t i of the 31st, after being medically nspected, and the men that are unfit for service transferred to the invalid depot to be dis charged on pensions, and those that are effective will join their head-quarters at Walmer Castle. The Royal Marine band went out to meet them, for the purpose of playing them to the barracks, but owing to the soldiers being brought in vans, not being able to march, the band returned to their head-quarters without them, although the band waited up wards of two hours. MARKET NEWS.-(Y.ESTERDAY CORN-EXCHANGE. Since Monday the fresh arrivals of English Wheat have been trifling; but, this morning, we had several samples of that day's unsold quantities on offer. Holders were firm, and in most instances demanded higher figures, which the millers refesed to give, while the demand may be considered steady at fully previous quotations. The middling and infe rior parcels of foreign Wheat, in bond, produced Is per quarter more money, the value of other descriptio.as being well supported. Free foreign Wheat was i n good request, at extreme currencies. Scarcely any Barley on offer ; hence the rates had an upward tendency. The suppy - of Malt was readily cleared off on full as good terms as last advised. Oats were in brisk request, at a rise of 3s per quarter. Several parcels found buyers for ship ment to Scotland. Beans, Peas, and Flour without altera tion. Floating cargoes of Egyptian Beans sold at 44s to 455, freight and insurance. Indian Corn was in request, at 69s to 70s for Galatz, and 64s to 66s for Italian, cost, freight, and insurance. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats I Flour. 2,640 qrs. 1,910 qrs. 450 qrs.

The supply of Beasts on sale this morning being limited, and the weather seasonably fine, the Beef trade was very steady, at fully Monday's quotations. We had on offer 22 Oxen from Spain, together with 11 Oxen and 200 Sheep from Holland. With 'Sheep we were scantily supplied; owing to which,' the sale for that description of stock was firm, and, in some instances, the pritnest old Downs realised 5s 24 per Bibs, at which a good clearance was effected. The Veal trade was firm, at an. improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. Pigs moved off steadily; but we can notice no ad vance in prices.

Foreign ...... ink the offal, (Prom the London New Price Current of January 15.) SUGAA.—To-day West India Muscovado of every kind was much wanted, and the trade were willing to pay previous advanced rates, but business was much checked by the scanty supply at market, and in consequence the private sales amounted to only 100 hhds and trcs. At publie sale 152 hhds 3 tierces and 2 barrels of Tobago Sugar sold readily at is to 2s above those that prevailed on Friday last. The total sales for the 'week amount to 1,200 hhds and tierces. REPINED.—The home trade have been' eager purchasers of all descriptions of Refined Sugar, but the supply at market has been far from sufficient for their wants, and a further advance in prices has taken place. The Refiners manifest much firmness on account of the large consumption that is going on, and the continued rise in the value of the raw article. - MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand .was active for Mauritius Sugar, and 5,132 bags at auction sold at fully former rates. EAST INDIA.—This afterneon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale was very large, and amounted to 10,880 bags and 358 chests, still the trade were desirous to buy, and nearly the whole sold at fully former rates.

FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 199 brls of Brazil -Sugar were offered, and went at very full rates. Privately a floating cargo of yellow Havannah fetched 50s 6d, and 400 cases brown Bahia at 22s per cwt. Comm.— This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee, and privately there was not much passing in home trade and shipping sorts. The value of good ordinary Ceylon is 40s 6d to 41s per c w t. . TEA.—The market has been in an inactive state for green all the week, and the low and middling qualities are offered rather under previous rates. The better sort of Congou are little wanted ; and can be obtained at a shade under last week's rates, but in the lower kinds a good business has been done. Pouchong is not much wanted, and 4d to 9d is the value of low to fine quality. The bidding were very languid at the public sales, and of the 34,134 pkgs offered, the small proportion of only 3,800 pkgs actually found buyers. RICE.—To-day all sorts of East India Rice were much sought after, and further advanced rates offered, but little was to be- had ; the value of low to fine white Bengal is 21s 6d to 28s 6d per cwt. COCOA. —The demand bas increased considerably for Bri tish Plantation this week, and, although the market was well supplied, still an improvement in prices of 2s to 3s per cwt has taken place. The parcels of Trinidad offered at public sale were all sold, amounting to 7.51 bags, and brought 42s 6d to 49s 6d. • SPIRITS. -- All sorts of Jamaica Rum are purchased freely ; indeed, nearly the whole on offer has been again cleared off the market, and the rates paid exhibit a further rise of 3d to 4d per gallon. Calcutta met with ready purchasers and further advanc e d rates h ave b een paid. Leeward Island is much wanted, and prices have risen 2d to 3d. Demerara met with a free sale, and at higher quota tions. Brandy has been largely dealt in by the home trade; a fair quantity was disposed of for exportation, and specula tors have been operating; holders evince much firmness. Geneva met with a much better demand, and prices ad vanced to 2s 7d to 2s 8d for common shipping sorts, andps 2d to 3s 6d for fine for home consumption. For British Corn Spirits the demand is active, and supplies being but moderate, caused the distillers to be verb firm. The quotation for Corn Spirits being now lls 9d, Scotch and Irish lls 8d nett cash. English Gin, 22 per cent under proof, 10s, and 17 ander lOs 9d per gallon. SrxcEs.—The demand has been animated for Pimento, and the parcels sold privately were at a rise on previous rates of id per . lb. Ginger is wanted, and the parcels of Ja maica and African sold privately were at better prices. Cal - licot must be quoted 2s higher. Cassia Lignea is little wanted, the tendency of prices is downwards. Cloves are little wanted. Nutmegs have been sparingly dealt in. Mace met with less attention, but late rates are sustained. In Cinnamon few purchases have been made, and prices tend downwards for inferior sorts, but for good and fine they rule firm. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon at public sale 158 bags of Honduras silvers were offered, * but the demand was less active, arid a part only sold at 5s 7d to 6s fur middling to line, being Id cheaper.

The stock is still on the decrease, and likely so to continue for the present. TURPENTINE.—Spirits have been sparingly dealt in, and ihere are willing sellers at 46s to 475, the stock being large. In Rough the operations are upon a more extended scale, but not at better prices, 103 being taken.

EXTRAORDINARY ANII EXTEN SIVE ROBBERY IN HARDWICK-PLACE, 1)UBLIN. On Sunday, a robbery of a very extraordinary nature took place at No. 10, Hardwick-place, Temple-street, in the house of Mrs. Irvine. It appears from what could be collected in the present stage of the proceedings, that at about half past eleven o'clock on Sunday, Mrs Irvine and her gamily went out to church, leaving a servant man named Patrick Donnelly in the house ; some time after two o'clock the family returned and knocked at the door several times, but received no answer. At last a man, was called, who got into the area and so to the kitchen, . where he found Donnelly with his legs tied to the La, ale, and his hands by a cord to another portion of the table • also. There was a rope road his chest which was at tached round the table, and in this position he was found, He was at once liberated, and on being questioned he said shortly after twelve o'clock a very respectable look ing man knocked at the door, and, on his opening it, the man walked into the hall, and was at once followed by two other persons. The "respectable" man, he said, pulled out a pistol, levelled it at his breast, and swore if he uttered a word he would blow his brains out. He, (Donnelly) then went on to say, that th ree p ersons t h en took him to the kitchen, where they tied him in the po sition he was found, and menaced him with death if he called out. They then went up stairs, he said, and rifled all the house, and that was the only account he could give of the transaction. The police were called in, and the story seeming improbable, Donnelly was taken into custody on suspicion of being cone•rned in the rob; brry. On examining the house it was found that desks, drawers, presses, &c., had been forced open by a hammer# which belonged - to the house, and which was found on the premises, and the marks fitted . exactly. It was dis covered that bank notes to the following amount were stolen ;—one 501. note, two 201. notes, two 101. note!, four Si. notes, and five IL notes, and the following arti cles of plate and other valuables :—twelve silver forks, six table spoons, twelve dessert spoons, a large g rav y ladle, a soup ladle, eight egg spoons, six salt spoons, a fish trowel, eight large silver spoons, two dozen plated forks, six tea spoons, a locket set in gold, a gold coroniV, a Mosaic ring, and a quantity of old coins. The plate was all crested, and the whole was valued at 1651. 10s. Besides the prisoner, his sister, Mary Boylan, and her husband, John Boylan, a gardener, living in Eccles-late, were apprehended, and a woman, who passed as Don nelly's wife. It appeared that this woman went in a covered car in the course of Monday, to several places, where herself and her respected husband owed money, and paid all that was due, and Mary Boylan offered a 101. note in payment of some things which she purchased at a shop in Dorset-street. The shopkeeper at once had her arrested, and handed her over with the note to the police. The whole of the parties were on Monday brought before Dr. Kelly, at Henry -street police office, where the above facts transpired, and his worship remanded them until Thursday, at one o'clock. The police are in search of the stolen property. It is _remarkable that the house of Mrs. Irvine is situate quite convenient to George's Church, and the policeman on duty did not ob serve any person enter the house during the time. The beadle of the church was also outside, and he did not see any person knock at the door. Ala ly who lives oppo s!te, and was looking through the window almost all the . time, said she did not see any person enter the house except a woman, whom it is suppased is Donnelly's wife. The matter stands so at present, but it is supposed that by Thursday some light may be thrown on it. —Dublin It is stated by one of our contemporaries that the French Government is about to take into consideration a project which Napoleon intended to execute for establishing a title of signals along the whole of the French coast, so as to put them all in immediate communication with each other —Galignani, 111111111101 11 ~.,.v ' • • • WOES by 'ROBERT .r. im - LVEANFELL, •- ar •- fa • - M.li.d:S*C One Shilling each. by post Ono and iiixPence .
