Indeed, the nature of the punishment is such, that if suffered to be carried into execution it must have the most ruinous effects on the future prospects of the poor lad, and consign him to a life of hopeless misery, in constant and unceas ing opposition to the laws. Who is there that would 4ive employment to the criminal who had been pub licly exposed in the town who would make an effort for the reclamation of the hardened offender, who bore about his person the indelible marks of his degradation ? No possible means of earning an honest livelihood would remain open to him, and he would necessarily fall into the snares of those who are ever on the watch for youthful victims, andewho would find him reckless and desperate, a ready in ,trument for their vile purposes. And all this is re quired in vindication of the majesty of the law, for - ,tie theft of a few paltry apples by an offender of eleven years of age. Desirable as it is to have our criminal code purged from all unnecessary severity, to have the scale of punishments so judiciously arranged, that crime shall be repressed and a fitting retribution inflicted on the evil-doer, that he may be deterred from future offences, and a salutary example afforded to all of the consequences of guilt—the manner of the administra tion of that law is of still greater importance. It would be better for the people to have cruel and sanguinary laws administered by learned, discreet, humane, and temperate men, duly qualified for the discharge of the duties of their station, than to have the most perfect system of law that ever emanated from merely human wisdom interpreted by ignorant and headstrong men, wholly unfitted either by previous education, or habits of life, for so great a trust. Every error is excused on the grounds of its being unintentional, occasioned by a want of knowledge of, or a mistake in, the law, or by an over anxiety and zeal for the public benefit. These may be good grounds for extending pardon to individual justices, but they furnish no satisfactory reasons why the power which has so often been abused should still be continued in their hands. It is - 7 •Ikav -._i mob IG - 81241 V r IllIM.B.; 13 what it costs, and th a t a gratuitous one is literally good for nothing. The same may with greater truth be asserted of the gratuitous administration of the law; indeed, it may be extended considerably, for it is, generally speaking, not merely good for nothing, but occasions very serious mischief, and is in the highest degree injurious to the best interests of the nation. There can be no satisfactory reason assigned fora perseverance in the prese n t s y s t em . Th e mos t seri ous difficulty in the way of a change that formerly existed, viz., the great expense that would be entailed on the nation by the appointment of competent per sons, at fitting salaries, to perform the functions here tofore entrusted to justices of the peace, has been re moved by the appointment of county judges. These gentlemen have had full notice that they are to undertake all such further duties as Parliament may choose to entrust them with, and that without further remuneration. Here, then, we find tribunals actually constituted, to which the criminal jurisdiction now exercised by magistrates might be most beneficially transferred. The pre siding judge must be (with some few exceptions) a barrister of seven years standing, responsible to public opinion for the manner in which he may act, and on whose behalf no alleged incapacity or igno rance of the law can be put forward to avert the censure that would justly follow any error in judg ment or indiscreet exercise of his judicial authority. It is no new or untried project, for it has been acted on in Ireland for many years with the happiest re sults. In that country the assistant barrister (a person similarly qualified to the English county judge) presides at quarter sessions, and not merely decides all civil eases, within a cer tain limit, but also tries criminals, and clears the calendar of all but cases of the gravest importance. The system has acted well, and has completely re moved the complaints . that were universal throughout the country previous to its adoption. Why should it not be brought into operation in England also ? A few mire sentences such as that pronounced on the child WINTER, and the people will insist on an altera tion ; we shall earnestly hope that it may be maturely considered by the Ministers during the recess, and that a just and comprehensive measure may be in troduced immediately on the meeting of the new Par liament. Letters from Rome of the 18th confirm the intel ligence which we published yesterday of the discovery of a conspiracy of the Serviles, for a general massacre of Liberals, on the 17th, the anniversary of the amnesty. Paid agents were, it is said, to have created an alarm among the multitude assembled on ' the occasion, and to have thrown daggers at the feet of the soldiers, to induce a belief that it was intended to murder them. Fifty malefactors were to have been let loose from the prisons into the Piazza del Popolo, shortly before the fireworks, in order to occasion confusion. The popular Chief CICERRITAC eino discovered the whole on the 15th. The people immediately demanded the suspension of the feast, and the POPE having ordered the immediate arma ment of the National Guard, upwards of 2,000 of the most respectable citizens applied to the authori ties for arms, and succeeded in maintaining public tranquillity. Cardinal FERRET; the new Secre tary of State, arrived at Rome on the 16th. fhe people received him with acclamation, and in the evening there was a general illumination. The first act of Cardinal FERRETI was to dismiss and exile Monsignor GRASSELLINI, the Governor of Rome, allowing him only twenty-four hoursto quit the city. NI. GRASSELLINI opposed no resistance and instantly set out for Naples. The following placard was posted up in Rome on the day the conspiracy was discovered : " NOTICE To THE PEOPLE. " Instructions of Cardinal Lambruschini and Cardinal Nal doni, left to the under-mentioned, for the execution a popular tragedy. " INFAMOUS ACTORS. ‘ionsignor Grasseßini, governor-general of the police of Rome. " Colonel Freddi, president of the famous military commission at the mournful period of 1844. " Clspt.aine A Ilqi and Mum...rail. " Lieutenants Gianuci, Sangiorgi, and Benveauti, Lieutenant of Monsignor Grassellini, assessor of the Government. Minerdi, a celebrated spy. " Vincent Moroni, brother of the Inspector-General of the Post office. " The Chevalier Bertola. " Sergeant Pontini. " Three sons of the notorious spy Galanti; and " Fior Avanti Patoca. " All devoted to the eternal execration of the people." Colonel FREDDI escaped at the moment some Na tional Guards entered his house to arrest him. They found his servants burning papers with so much precipitation that they set on fire the curtains of his bedchamber. Captain MUZZARELLI and BERTOLA were apprehended, and the foriner would have been murdered by the populace had not Prince ALEX ANDRo TORLONIA. and Prince ROSPIGLIOSI interfered. Te brothers GALANTI had made their escape. Va rious other persons had been arrested, and the disclosures of the prisoners, and the papers seized in their possession, had already thrown much light on the conspiracy. The National Guard was being armed and equipped in all haste, and several .princes had offered the ground floors of their palaces to es tablish temporary posts. The troops of the garrison and even the gendarmes, in whom the conspirators placed every confidence, fraternized with the people. Colonel BINI, commanding a battalion of chasseurs, several officers of which were compromised in the plot, had visited all the posts of the National Guard, and declared, with tears in his eyes, that he was to tally ignorant of the designs of those officers. I The conspiracy is attributed to the machinations of the Jesuits, assisted by the agents of Austria. Madrid papers of the 20th have arrived. The QUEEN was to hold a levee at La Granja, on the 24th, in honour of the birth-day of her mother, at which the Ministers were expected to attend. The KING has returned to the rrado, having been refused permission to occupy the palace at Madrid during the allience of the QUEEN, seeing that he did not choose ta commit so long as she remained there. Gen. Roe DE OI:ANO is appointed governor cf La Granjaduriiig the residence of the QUEEN. • The C a pt a i n G enera l o f B urgos announces th a t th e Queen's t roops on the 1 7 t h an d 18 t h attac k e d an d completely disper se d the Carlist band of EL ESTU DIENTE..

MADRID BOMA, JULY 20.—The Thee per Cents. were dune at 264 for cash; the Five pe Ct-nts. at 174 fur paper; and the Debt without interestat 51 tor cash. We have received the Paris papers Sunday. The greater number of them contait a review of the session, which has lasted since the beginning of January—a session most barren of restlts in a legis lative point of view, but most importan . as modifying the state of parties, and most damagingto the Execu tive, as exposing the wholesale system of corruption by which the Government of France las for years past been managed. The Presse thus sums up the legislative results of the past session : " The session has lasted seven full moths, to produce —what ? 1. The ratification of the treaty by which the Minister of the Marine places four stearnfrigates, which he had built, at the disposal of Messrs. fierout and Co. 2. Authority given to the Bank of France to issue notes of 200 francs. 3. Permission given to the Minister of Finance to borrow 350 millions. 4. The budget, and innumerable credits ;" while the Constitutionnel declares that " all the important Acts that the Government has accom plished for several years have borne their fruit all at once, in this year 1847. The seed was sown at other periods, but it is now me have gathered the crop." The first great feat= of the session was the self glorification of M. GUIZOT from the tribune at the clever manner in which he had " done " England on the subject of the Spanish marriages, but when the means in which that grand coup had been accomplished became known, when it was proved that the Minister had not only deceived England by nears equivocations, and Spain by "enormous lying," but that he had also attempted to deceive the Chambers by wilfully garbling official documents, he found that, like all over clever people, he had at length overmatched himself. The im plicit faith which had before been given to the asser tions of M. GruzzoT was shaken ; it was imagined that those charges of corruption which, on his simple ...Ina or Lb c ,,, bad heretofore been treated with contempt, might be true; those . charges were reiterated, investigation was demanded, and the cor ruption was proved. Is it too much to suppose that but for the proved un trustworthiness of M.Guizor in the affair of the Spanish marriages, his word would have been sufficient to have shielded his colleague, and M. TESTE would have been spared the disgrace, and M. GUIZOT the suspicion, under which they now severally labour? Thus bath " even -banded justice " commended " the ingred.ents of the poisoned chalice to his own lips.' True, he is now the head of the Cabinet, but it is a Cabinet of which the Courrier Francais (and it expresses in this instance the feelings of the great bulk of the educated people of France)" thus speaks : " We beg pardon of England, we beg pardon of the restoration ! We insulted them in comparing Messrs. Guizot and Duchatel to Sir Robert Walpole, and to Messrs. de Vil,ale and Polignac. We confess our error, for there is not in history any term of comparison for our Ministers. There is no possible parallel to be drawn between the evil our Ministers have inflicted on France, and the evil which, in other times, and in other countries, other Ministers may have done to their country. Our rulers have reached the ideal of corruption. They may be proud of themselves. In the present time, as well as the past, they are without equals and rivals. We are beginning to find Sir Robert Walpole less despicable and M. k'olignac less odious. Who would have thought so in 1830 ? Who could have supposed that a day would come when we should experience such sentiments and hold such language ?'' The Constitutionnel thus describes the effect of the Spanish mar r i age intrigues— " The Spani s h marr i ages ," says our contemporary, "had the effect, at the commencement of the session, of producing the mutilated and curtailed publication of official documents, which had to be completed afterwards on the summons of England, the disclosure of the un worthy jeu de mots by which M. Guizot . deceived Lord Normanby ; the disrespect in which our Cabinet is held in the world ; the sacrifice of the people of weak countries everywhere ; the delivery of Cracow to the three Powers ; the threatening of liboral Switzerland by us in concert with Austria ; the isolation of France concealed by cull) ,ble means ; the boasts of M. Guizot, that he had conquered the Mediterranean, and at the same time Madrid, perpetuating hereditary scandals ; our Ambassador sent away from Spain, our alliance re viled on the other side of the P)rennees, a redoubtable question of succession hanging over the future, and the Chamber declaring itself satisfied by a vote with this disastrous development given to the policy of family at the expense of the policy of the State, and of the princi ples of liberty." It then proceeds to comment on the railway jobbing, the frauds and the financial blunders on the part of the Ministers and their subordinates, which have been brought to light by the Committees of the Chambers, the Ministerial corruption as revealed by the recent trials, and the threatened revela tions of still further scandals of a similar nature, as the natural results of a system which depends for its very existence on the abuse of the powers placed in its hands by the constitution. The National has a long article on the affairs of Switzerland, in the course of which it proves that the threatened intervention of M. GUIZOT in aid of the Sonderbund is treason to the revolution of July, to which the KING of the FRENCH owes his throne. After stating that in fact the projected insurrection of the Sonderbund against the decree of the Diet is an Ultramontane and Jesuit movement, it thus pro ceeds 4, I t is important to understand this in order that we may be thoroughly aware of the point to which M. Guizot wishes to lead us. This champion of established authorities encourages a revolt of Ultramontanists and Jesuits. The question of Switzerland is no longer a question merely of constitutional right. The language . ) 1: the Deputies of Fribourg and Lucerne have no doubt on that head. In support of this view we may, if necessary, call attention to the language of the correspondent of the Journal des Debuts, antagonism between the two principl es w hi c h di v id e t h e o t l h ft e holy alli ance . The fight aisaquestion of a fresh between the spirit ofiwn hr liberty letter r atyn dan agitate d o f the yesterday, Eu spiritr e at tempt to designate these as the spirit of order and the spirit of disorder is absurd. No one now , a days is de ceived by these used up' words. One of the orators of the Catholic league has given us a more happy rendering of the spirit of disorder in accusing it of having given birth to new ideas, and engendered the revolution of July. These are the doctrines of- the men to whom M. Guizot proffers assistance. It is - to aid a counter-revolution at its last gasp that he talks of interfering in Switzerland. If M. Guizot has made such promises, we beg to remind him that, although Ministers may propose, it is for France alone to dispose." The Moniteur of Sunday publishes a comparative table of the principal articles of merchandise im- --- ported into France during the first six months of the years 1845, 1846, and 1847, with the amount of the duties received, and the quantities remaining in the entrepots at the end of June of the present year. From this account it appears that the import duties in France have gradually decreased. In 1845 the total , amount of these duties was 75,952,014 f. ; in 1846, 74,676,000 f. ; and in 1847, 65,956,675 f. The principal diminutions are in corn, cotton-wool, yarn, and woollens. The duty upon corn, which in the first six months of 1845 produced 2,203,9701., and in 1846, 7,381,258 f., produced in 1847 only 1,989,836 f. Cotton- wool produced in 1845, 7,576,327 f., and in 1846, 7,057,863 f., while in 1847 it only pr o . duced 4,764,661 f. The duty on linen yarn, in 1845, was 2,720,674 f. ; in 1846, 1,542,731 f. ; and in 1847, 796,1591. Woollens produced, in 1845, 4,778,981 f. ; in 1846, 3,231,297 f.; and in 1847, 2,478,7001. The duties on cast iron have increased from 1,611,691 f. in 1845, to 2,818,819 f. in 1847. Copper is without any material variation ; tin has diminished one half; lead has increased, but to a trifling amount; and zinc has increased, from 11,049 f., the amount of duty in 1845, to 40,9861., the amount in 1847. In sugar there is a slight diminution, and in coffee a slight increase, but none of them are of material im portance. M. PELLAPRA on Friday sent 10,000 f. to the Pre fect of Police, to be employed in liberating from prison debtors of the labouring class. He attended the Opera the evening of his liberation.

CITY, QUARTER TO TH7?EE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 2,500 bales, of which 2.300 were American at 6id. to 74d. per lb. The market was very dull but prices were not lower. Shares were very quiet, with little or no alteration in prices. In the accounts recently come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope there are some interesting particulars of the result of one of those trading expeditions into the interior undertaken occasionally by some of our bold and hardy countrymen. The statement before us, in a Graham's Town paper, runs thus:— " The public market at this place displayed on Monday morning (12th instant) an unwonted degree of anima tion by the arrival in town of Mr. Henry Hartley with a large quantity of valuable produce from the interior to the N.B. This trader has been absent about two years, during which period he penetrated as far as the new set tlement of Orisberg, in the parallel latitude of Delagon Bay, besides diverging considerably both to the right and left of that point in the course of his perambulations. The account be brings of the circumstances of the Dutch emigrants in that country is, upon the whole, favourable. The produce brought by him to this market consisted chiefly of ivory and ostrich feathers, about 6,000 lbs. of the former being sold at an average of 4s. 4d. per lb. The best of the ostrich feathers realised the handsome price of 6/. Ss. per lb. There were also a good many rare birds and curiosities, among which may be classed some cotton rags of native manufacture, showing that the value of the cotton wool and the art of weaving it into useful fabric, are not alto gether unknown to the natives of this part of South- Eastern Africa. This specimen of their manutacture was coarse in texture, and the material harsh and wiry, wearing, however, the appearance of great durability, and of having been manufactured with considerable care and ingenuity." In the Money and Stock Market to day there is rather more buoyancy, the decline in the price of grain, and the certainty of its going much further, as there will shortly be new samples of wheat in the market, serv ing to impart conficl,nce. It is possible, however, that there may be a few sales of stock on account of the rail way companies which are still gradually withdrawing deposits from the Court of Chancery. Consols have been 88i for Transfer, and 881 ( to 89 for Account. Ex chequer-bills have been marked Bs. to I la. premium.

Altnitl# -,1111"* LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1847. Elections will come off in rapid succession through out the provinces during the ensuing fortnight. Ex tr 'ordinary is the excitement prevalent already in the different boroughs. The saw and hammer are even now busily plied for the immediate erection of the temporary hustings. Electioneering committees are involved in the toils of preparation. Candidates are roving from house to house, canvassing with unusual assiduity. Party cries are scarcely so numerous as formerly, but the belligerent forces—the popular majority, and the stand-still minority, the Free-trade Liberals, and the Protectionist Tories, the lovers of cleanliness, and the advocates of their own inalienable dirt, the supporters of the Government, and the very "awkward squad" of Lord GEORGE BEsvrtricK—are confronted upon the various local arenas. Every independent elector niust buckle up for the contest as earnestly as if the destinies of the empire depended - upon his solitary decision. That is the true philosophy of Parliamentary elections ; that is the only substantial guarantee for success; that is the undoubted precursor of victory and exultation. Let it not be forgotten—let every Liberal wear it in his heart—let him wear it as an amulet against de feat, and as a talisman for the realisation of his most cherished expectations. A ?lath., innotl.y sportgard= is p position of affairs in the principal commercial cities of Great Britain. We shall enumerate them with as much brevity as is consonant with distinctness. Four we have already, namely, in our yesterday's im pression, particularised—London, Manchester, Liver pool, and Glasgow. We have recommended, and will still recommend, the concentration in those dif ferent cities of the Liberal influence for the victorious return of their several popular candidates —RUSSELL, PATTISON, ROTHSCHILD, and LARPENT, for the representation of the first; GIBSON and BRIGHT for the representation of the second ; Mao' for the representation of the third ; MACGREGOR and HA STIE for the representation of the fourth. The qualifications of those eminent candidates are as un equalled as the liberality of their principles is un. questionable. Nothing but a traitorous and inex cusable indolence can transform the propitious auguries of their canvass into discomfiture. Nothing but a superior ♦igilance among the supporters of their antagocists can divert the suffrages of those distin guished constituencies from the national cause to the cause of a Quixotic faction. Unless BIRMINGHAM at last relieve itself from the incubus of Conservatism, in the person of its late representative, Mr. R. SPOONER, and asso ciate Mr. G. F. MUNTZ with Mr. W. SCHOLEFIELD, a candidate of indisputable honesty, and a man bear ing moreover in his name the prestige of his father's honourable reputation, the independent elec tors will be justified in regarding with suspicion and incredulity the nominal liberality of that emporium of our inland manufactures. Mr. Murizz, under all circumstances, may count upon a triumphant recep tion from those constituents who have hitherto found him the untiring promoter of every measure calculated to ameliorate the condition of the labouring classes. In Birmingham we are satisfied that the necessity for a currency reformation will not be forgotten. At LEEDS popularity seems to be concentrating around the banners of one Liberal candidate, at least, namely, Mr. JAMES GARTH MARSHALL. Leeds will, doubt • less, bear in recollection the necessity of an uncondi• tional diffusion of secular knowledge through the agenc% of national education. Mr. BAINES and Dr. HOOK will at least have done good service to thy cause of popular instruction, by exciting discussion upon a matter of such paramount consideration among a constituency of so much intelligence. From the friction of debates, such as those excited latterly in Leeds, the truth must ultimately shine with reful gence. YORK is still unhappily abandoned to that obtuse section of politicians which, if encouraged, would infallibly stultify all the more generous efforts of a patriotic Legislature. BUCKINGHAM, in like manner, continues a pocket constituency, almost as glaringly as in the heyday infamy of the rotten boroughmongering system. GLOUCESTER will as- •uredly return none other than the Honourable Captain M. F. F. BERKELEY, a resolute Liberal, and one of her MAJEsTr's Lords of the Admi• ralty, associating with him, Mr. W. P. PRICE, of Tibberton-court, an advocate for popular measures, who appears on the retirement of Mr. J. PIIILPOTTS. In Captain BERKELEY we cannot distinguish any or that unconstitutional sycophancy to the Lord of Berkeley Castle, which, in our estimation, utterly disqualifies Mr. GRENVILLE BERKELEY for the re presentation of West Gloucestershire. Mr. GREN VILLE BERKELEY is notoriously the nominee of Earl FITZUARDINGE, and consequently his election must proclaim with a damning distinctness the corruption and venality of the independent electors. For this reason we are persuaded that the Hon. G. C. GRANTLEY F. BERKELEY is a preferable candidate. Even with a vivid remembrance of his rather ugly revelations, even with a recollection of his long tailoring scores with STULTZ; and his indecorous violence both of vituperation and self-defence, we art convinced that the Hon. GRANTLEY BERKELEY is a candidate immeasurably preferable to Mr. GREN VILLE BERN FLEV. The latter is the overt puppet of Earl FITZPIARDINGE, the former is a sort of enthu siastic rebel—one that in the delirium of a politica emancipation hitherto unknown to him would almost at a c-ftity to the Charter, and march under the banners of Radicalism. A rebel Liberal rree from he thraldom of a peer, is better surely than the passive [nstrument and pliant mouthpiece of that peer. The one may become the puppet of the populace, the other is the puppet of a nobleman. For HULL, Mr. J. CLAY promises admirably. For NORWICH, Mr. PETO is singularly suited, and for READING, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD has a brilliant prospect of heading the poll. To-morrow we shall resume our synopsis of the pro vincial elections, and their antagonistic candidates. Meanwhile let two incentives keep alive the enthusi asm of the Liberal electors —two incentives—two words—COURAGE !—ACTIVITY It has repeatedly been our painful duty to direct , the public attention to instances of the abuse of power by occupants of the magisterial bench. A more flagrant case has, however, seldom occurred than one reported to have taken place at Wellington on Monday last, and which we have extracted from the columns of a respected contemporary, the Somerset .County Gazette. A boy named WINTER, only eleven y ears of age, was charged with having stolen a few (twelve) apples. The magistrates con sidered the charge proved, and in the exercise of their discretion, tempering justice with mercy, they sen tenced the unfortunate child to "four months' im prisonment with-hard labour, to be once privately and once publicly whipped, the public whipping to be through the town of Wellington." . Can this be possible in merry Englanet in the nineteenth century ? C an thi s b e the result of the i mprove d legislation that has taken ment, so revolting to ev Parliament ?

At the conclusion of the arguments the Vice-Chancellor of England, in giving judgment, said upon the first objection, that in the appointment Ut a& surveyor, the land intended to be taken was not speci fied ; he did not see that the Act required anything 01 the. sort. It was for the justices to take care that tin valuation was made of such laud as was in dispute ; bit the Act did not require that the land should be specified. Another objection had been raised as to the sufficiency of the sureties to the bond ; but he did not think there was any question about that, since the bond had been given, and the money actually paid. The receipt upon the bond stated that the money was placed to the credit of the Great Northern Railwa) Company ; and it had been contended that this was wrong ; but he could not see that there was any substantial objection to it, as the money was to the account of the plaintiff; and there fore it was a literal compliance with the terms of the Lict. The next objection was upon the word " demand." dis Honour would not say that this was wrong, but he would reserve his judgment, and determine the point another day. As to the form of the notice, which stated that the company intended to take the plaintiff's laud for the several purposes mentioned, some or one of ,hem," be thought that was contrary to the terms of the Act. The notice ought to specify the purposes for which the land was required, otherwise the owner would :lave the burden thrown upon him of considering all the different questions that would arise as to how far other hinds mignt be equally good for the purpose. His Honour, therefore, granted an injunction as to that part of the case, and 'rem that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. Rult and Mr. Dennison were counsel for the appellant; and Mr. J. Bann and Mr. Craig appeared for the plaintiff. The arguments occupied the Court the whole morning. 10 5% 2% 35% 15 1 4, 5% VICE-CHANCERY,—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. MORRIS. —JUDGMENT. His Honour Vice-Chancellor Wicitam gave judg ment to-day in this case, which was argued before him some time since. The bill was filed by the noble plain tiff for the purpose of obtaining an injunction to re strain the defendant from suffering the water of his mines from flowing into that of the plaintiff. The Duke and his eldest son, the M.rgni. of W orccat.A , are tee e, coat-mine in Glamorganshire, called the Landore mine, situated in the centre and lower part of a basin-shaped tract of land. On one side of this mine, and adjoining it, is another called the Pentre mine, be lonp ing to Mr. George Byng Morris, beyond which i s [another, the property of Mr. Phillips, and beyond it another, called Cae Grebos, of which Mr. G. B. Morris is the proprietor. On the other side of the Landore mine, and adjacent to it, is the Drew's Pit mine ; be yond it flews the river Tawey, and beyond the river lies another coal mine, called Llysnewydd. Drew's pit and Llysnewydd culleries belong to Mr. Morris. The same gentleman was, until the year 1845, lessee, under the Duke ,f Beaufort, of the Landore mine, and, during his pos session of it, communications existed between his several mines, so that the watt-r contained in them poured into the Landore mire, the bottom of the basin, and was there pumped up by a powerful engine. Since the expi ration of the lease of the Landore colliery, in 1845, Mr. Morris has continued working his mines at Cae Grobas and Llysnewydd, and th e D uke com elained that water continued to pour from the new workings through the o ld communication into the Pentre pit, -and thence into the J andore pit. The noble plaintiff also compl a i ne d that the - communi cation mad, between the Llysnewydd and Drew's pits not only brought down t, Landore the water of the former mine, but also that, by reason of its passing under the Tawey, that rive r wou ld pro b ably break through its bed, of a loose and gravelly nature, and flow into the Landore colliery. The engine at the latter pit had not been worked since December, 1845, when Mr. Morris's lease expired, and that mine was filled with water, which the Duke of Beaufort now desired o pump out, but which he thought it imprudent to do until he had compelled Mr. Morris to stop all communications between his mines and that of the plaintiff. To accom plish this object, a nd a lso to r e str a in Mr. Morri s from making any new communications, the present suit was instituted. Shortly atter the bill was filed, an injunction was granted by Lord Lyndhurst to res . r.in Mr. Mo rris from working his mines to that of UT detriment of the noble plaintiff. On the cause coming on for heari ng before the Vice Chancellor Wigrain, it was sou g h t to tcno, the i onlya1:1e (..ngth, make that injunction perpe . tual. His Honour, af ter going through the factsoithe cor c isi s d e era a at consideration, considerable that,he afterought great to pursue w ou ld b e to retain course he stated thous ht the bill for a twelvemonth, giving liberty to the plaintiff to bring such action as he might be advised, the defendant in that action to make certain admissions ; the injunction granted by Lord Lyndhurst to be con tinued in the meantime ; and as to Sir John Morris, the bill to be dismissed with costs.

This case came before his Lordship upon appeal irom the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of England, deli vered yesterday, granting an injunction restraining the defendants—the Great Western Railway Company— from making their railway over the land belonging to the plaintiff in St. Mary's, Islington, or from continuing in possession of the land. From the statements in the bill it appeared that the company gave the plaintiff notice in February last that they intended to take the land, whereupon the plaintiff app , inted a person to value the land, and the sum amuuntea to 1,3381 While the negotiations were proceeding, the company, without notice to the plaintiff, applied to two justices, under the powers in their Act, for the appointment of a surveyor, who valued the land at 9501. The company, after this, delivered to the plaintiff a bond under their common seal, and signed by the solicitors of the company, for the payment of the said sum of 9501., with a condition that the bond should be void if the company and their solicitors should on demand pay to the plaintiff, or should on demand deposit-in the Bank of England, the amount of such purchase money or compensation as should be determined upon, under the powers of their Act of Parliament. Upon the bond was endorsed a re ceipt by the cashier of the Bank of England for the 9501., with a statement that the sum had been placed to the account of William Russell, Esq., the accountant general of the Court of Chancery, to the credit of ex parte the Great Northern Railway Company, to the account of Thomas Poynder.
