So remarkable are the circumstances which are recurring in foreign countries simultaneously with the dissolution of our English Parliament, ,that it cannot be unprofitable to enumerate those which demand the most consideration as directly affecting ourselves. Formerly it was considered in these islands that any thought about our continental rela tions was an injudicious exercise of popular curiosity, and that those relations were best consigned to the diplomatic skill of the Chief Secretary for the Foreign Department and his subordinate colleagues, while the population at large contented themselves with the development of their mercantile and agri cultural resources. That old pig-headed notion is exploded. Neither the immaculate mechanism of the heavens, as conceived in the Peripatetic Philosophy, nor the beautiful hypothesis of the nebular system, as imagined by the elder HERSCHEL, are more signally refuted than this presumptuous adage. Neither the Galilean telescope, as applied to the scheme of Pr- THAGOB,A.S, nor the monster speculum of Lord Rosso, as directed to the nebula in Orion, have more effec tually revealed the shallowness of a dogmatic and theoretic astronomy than the experience of the last quarter of a century of popular legislation has dis played the absurdity of the old drawing room doctrine, which restricted the consi deration of foreign affairs to a particular class of statesmen and diplomatists. It is not only, there fore, considered allowable, but most advisable and even most essential, that the people of this free country should sedulously contemplate, in order that they may fully comprehend, the position and move ments of the Governments of the different nations on the globe. For in England the conduct of the State is perpetually regulated according to the impulses afforded by Public Opinion, and in order that that external authority may in fluence in the right direction, it is absolutely neces sary that the affairs of the other kingdoms of the earth should be debated and digested in the popular mind. Without some such preliminary examination of the Ministerial doings across the water, the British Administration would be incessantly plunged into the most bewildering and perilous dilemmas. . Immediately anterior, therefore, to the dissolution of our Parliament, before we are involved in the ex citement and ardour of a general election, it were a judicious precaution on the part of the possessors of the franchise to cast a final and comprehensive glance over the situation of affairs, not only of Christendom, but of Heathendom into the bargain, But, above all, one fact should be remembered, one paramount circumstance should be continually borne in recollection, and that is—that the two great forces are still at war in the cause of civilisation, the im pulsive and the repulsive, the progressive and the retrogressive. And—a remembrance, this, pregnant with meaning !—that an affection for freedom seems dying away in the council chambers of the land of liberty, while that sublime love of the natural rights of the people is rising into life in the council chambers of a land which has for centuries been in a particular manner a land of slavery and degradation. We have recently referred to the denationalising and despotic tendencies of the policy latterly adopted by the KING of the FRENCH, and we have contrasted with it the ennobling and liberal policy recently adventured upon by the Sovereign PONTIFF. As a fitting corollary to those observations, we now hear from raris or rue igu0...1. - ...... , .......-4..... don of the associates of the French Minister—l- PkIIMENTIER, CUIIIERES, TESTE, and PELL/MLA— we receive ' the disgraceful details of their official peculation—we receive accounts of the ineffectual attempts made by M. TESTE to pistol himself to the death ; and from Rome we hear of the refusal of Pius to proscribe one hundred persons, whose liberal sentiments render them obnoxious to the Cardinals. Such are the dishonourable and degraded instruments of Louis PHILIPPE'S new-fangled scheme of Orleans' absolutism ! Such is the turpitude of the Ministerial colleague of GUIZOT ! Such is the assiduous oppo sition offered to the reforms commenced by Pope Pius IX.—an opposition not merely of the Austrian authority beyond the frontiers of the Papal States, but of the authority of the Cardinals within the very precincts of the Vatican ! Leagued in the same malign cause as that which has enginsed the imagination and obscured the judgment of the Citizen King, are the Kaiser of AUSTRIA and the Csar of Russia.. Leagued in the same glorious cause of political and social emancipa tion with the . reforming PONTIFF, are the King of PRUSSIA, the King of SARDINIA, the King of the BELGIANS, and the Grand Duke of TUSCANY. All the energies of the Cabinet of Berlin are directed to the liberatiye movement which has latterly been per ceptible in. the vicinity of his Italian provinces. The Incorporation of the Cracovian republic has not been sufficient to appease the anxieties of the im perial FRANCIS. With NICHOLAS, on the other hand, everything is being done for the consolidation of the vast power already under his yoke for the prosecution of certain ulterit intentions. Among the most im portant means.ajopted to this end by the Emperor of all the Russias 'is, unquestionably, the projection of a gigantic line of railway, connecting the v capitits of 'Moscow, St. Petersburgh, and Warsaw. That rail road will be the spine of the Russian empire. - While :the United tiet of Prussia is progressing happily in its novel duties, and FREDERICK WILHELI IV. is observing with satisfaction the present and prospective happiness conferred thereby upon his loving subjects, the Venerable Pius is embarrassed by the sudden accumulation of obstacles to his refoims. So, in like manner, is the Sardinian CHARLES . ALHERt and so also must, very speedily, be wp th e l ad Gra by ndtht4Dlratabio a ke .n of TUSCA NY. stte of 'sing LEOPOi,p, dr his health, and the momentary antagonism of the Bel gians, threatens to abdicate in favour of a stripling Prince ; and the ,thrones of Spain and Portugal are still only doubtfully occupied by Isan ELLA an d MARIA DA GLORIA. Among the lesser points of European interest are the partial reconciliation of the Greek King OTRo and the Sublime Porte, and the opening of the Diet of the Swiss Confederation at Berne, amidst urgent an d numerous anxieties. P robable as many of the consequences are, which may be inferred from the foregoing circumstances, the most likely amongst them are, however, as uncertain as the elevation of the Due D'AUMALE into the Viceroy of Aleria, or of AED•ELJiADER into the Emperor of Mogrocco.

We could scarcely hope for a course of strict and unbending rectitude from one whose private interests are brought into collision with his pitlic duties, and who is too well aware that the faithful' and conscien tious discharge of the latter will plunge the former into irretrievable ruin. We can hardly hope that selfish considerations will not ultimately triumph in the great majority of cases, or expect unbiassed decisions from those who are obliged to become the mere pup pets of a superior power. A British judge, therefore, holds his office dum se bene gesserit, and cannot be removed or suspended therefrom save on an address to the Crown from both Houses of Parliament ; and it is due to the eminent and learned men who have been selected for the ermine to state that there never has been the slightest occasion to desire that the power of unconditional dismissal had been retained in the Crown. This judicial independence is, if possible, more urgently required in our dependencies than in the mother country. Here there are reports of numerous decisions published, by which almost every question that may arise is governed and regulated ; there is an observant press recording and circulating through out every part of the country the legal proceedings, and, in the event of any impropriety in the conduct thereof, ready to expose the error, and to awaken the public indignation against the offender, and there are many competent and learned men who cannot be deceived or blinded by any sophistry or plausibility, by which an effort may be made to make the worse appear the better reason. By these means the most efficient control is established. The voice of public opinion is never slighted or despised. In the great majority of our colonies these things are totally different. The existing laws are generally a sort of compound between the old lex loci and those portions of the British law that from time to time have been added thereto, and brought into ope -1 ration in the district. The complicated and motly character of this patchwork code necessarily affords a much wider discretion to the presiding judge than that which exists in the parent state. He is to a certain extent treading on new ground, and may put for ward principles and reasons for his judgments which could have no possible force here. He has, therefore, a far greater opportunity, if dis honestly inclined, of abusing his power than is afforded to.,an English judge. There are no reports of former decisions to guide or direct him in his judgment, or in opposition to which he must assign good and suffi cient reasons if disposed to overrule or set them aside. There is no powerful journalist to expose his delin quencies should he go astray, and the members of the bar practising in his court are few in number, and, generally speaking, the anxious seekers after Go vernment patronage. Every reason, therefore, tends to establish the vast importance of placing our colo nial judges in a proper position, and extending the rule that has so long been beneficially acted on in this country to our several colonies and dependencies. Mr. LANGsLow has certainly just grounds of complaint, and we cannot believe that our countrymen will regard with indifference the manner in which he has been treated. Having distinguished himself as a barrister on the Western Circuit, where he had practised with every prospect of success, he, in the year 1832, accepted the office of Attorney- General at Malta, and thereupon relin quished his English connexion, and devoted himself wholly to the public service. When he had filled that situation six years, we are bound to believe efficiently and well, from the fact of his having been subse quently selected for promotion, the office was abo lished and a pension was granted to him until his services could again be made available. In 1840 he was appointed one of the district judges of Ceylon, in which situation he continued to act until deprived of his office by Lord STANLEY, on what we must consi der most frivolous and insufficient grounds. Against that sentence Mr. LANGSLOW appeals, and impeaches its justice openly and publicly. Lord STANLEY, forsooth, complains of the failure of his temper and want of self-control and discretio:7. " Oh wad some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselves as others see us." We should hardly find that Noble Lord considering such defects as sufficient to incapacitate the person so affected from the public service ; but be is also di latory in the administration of justice. True it ie there is a tribunal which constitutionally shoul d decide `every question of that description, and to which, if the dismissal were justified on such grounds, Mr. LANGSLOW would be entitled to appeal ; but that would be expensive ; and in mercy to him ! ! Lord STANLEY grounds his removal from office on other grounds, so as to exclude that appeal—to prevent him from submitting his case to the judgment of learned and impartial men. Such a proceeding cannot pos sibly be justified, and Mr. LANGSLOW would clearly be entitled to a revision of his sentence from the pre sent Ministry, but for what, with all respect for the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, we must designate as a most ridiculous and absurd regulation which he has adopted, investing his predecessors with an official infallibility, and refusing to reconsider or interfere with any decision at which they might have arrived, no matter how erroneous it may be. We trust that this rule may speedily be altered, and that Earl GREY may not, by a strict adherence thereto, subject himself to the charge of being the participator in and abettor of tyranny and oppression. We read in a letter from Constantinople in the Augsburgh Gazette —" The French Embassy had addressed to the Porte reclamations relative to debts contracted by the last administration of Tripoli and of Barbary, which debts the Porte took upon itself. The affair has just been analysed, the debt recog nised by the Porte as being due to France, being settled at 1,600,000 Turkish piastres (about 400,000 f.)" According to the last arrivals from St. Peters burgh, the Emperor N 'camas will not go into Ger many this year. His MAJESTY is said to have directed his Minister of Foreign Affairs to collect in August at St. Petersburgh all the diplomatic representatives of Russia to the Great Powers. A letter from Berne of the 9th says,— " The day before yesterday M. de Bois-10-Comte went to the President of the Diet, and read to him a somewhat long dispatch dated 4th July, by which M. Guizot not only fully ratified the language held by the Ambassador in his famous discours ecrit, but even strengthened the expression of his idea by ascribing to the great conti nental power with respect to our country more hostile intentions than a simple examination of the complica tions which may arise in case the majority of the Swiss states should take collective measures against the mi nority. In a word, the written language of M. Guizot i in complete opposition with the declaratiows that h made in the Chamber of Deputies in the sitting in which the interpellations took place. After having read this dispatch to M. Ochsenbein, the Ambassador offered, ac cording to usage, to leave him a copy. The President of the Vorort at first replied by a positive refusal, but afterwards consented to the formality, declaring, how ever, that as the dispatch was not addressed to him as President, nor to the Vorort, he could not communi cate it officially either to the Diet or the Directory." Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived. The Faro of that day had been seized on account o: an article on the Palace question. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA was present at the banquet given to the POPE'S Nuncio. The Ministers had neglected to invite him, but the QUEEN caused him to be sent for, and he was present at her MAJESTY'S express desire. The mission of Senor SARAGOSSA to NARVAEZ to induce the General to place himself at the head of a new Cabinet had failed. NARVAEZ replied that he could not leave Paris, as he had pressing affairs to arrange with Queen CHRISTINA. Carlist bands have appeared in the neighbourhood of Ge rona. MADRID BOLSA, JULY B.—The Three per Cents. closed on the Bth inst. at 261. for cash ; the Fire per Cents. at 17i ; and Passives at 51 cash. -- !Mr Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 9th, and from Oporto of the 10th instant, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, which arrived at Southampton last night. The Junta of Oporto has dissolved itself, and SALDANHA. and his troops have entered the town, where they are at present in garrison with the Spanish troops under CONCHA. The castle of Fos is garrisoned by English marines. The Duke of with the their u disapproval nt a bet,ore their surrend er. TERCEIRA. and his fellow-captives hav e arrived in Lisbon.

"Head-quarters at Richouza, July 2, 184$" The Marquis of LOULE, and several other dis tinguished membrs of the Junta, have arrived at Lisbon. The Conde DAs ANTAS and the Visconde SA DA BANDEIRA are still detained as prisoners. It is rumoured that the QUEEN, unmindful of the recent lesson which has been taught her, is about to recal COSTA CABRAL. Several Cabralistas have been ap pointed to high official situations, and these appoint ments being in direct violation of the promises made when foreign intervention was asked for, have given great umbrage. Neither has the QUEEN performed her promise of entering at once upon a constitutional course of government. A decree was issued on the 9th, continuing to the end of July the suspension of the guarantees of personal liberty, and prohibiting until that day the publication of newspapers and pamphlets.

They confirm the report which we mentioned yes terday of . the confession and attempted suicide of M. TESTE. The evidence produced before the Chamber of Peers on Monday was conclusive as to the guilt of M. TESTE. It appears that M. PELLAPRA, finding that an attempt was making to save M. TESTE by convicting him (PELLAPRA) of swindling, determined to tell the truth, and confiding to Madame PELLAPRA certain documents, desired her to transmit them to the Chancellor. Those documents were transmitted accordingly, and were ♦erified by M. ROQUEBERT, the notary of PELLAPRA, before the Chamber on Monday. The evidence of M. ROQUEBERT left no doub on any person's mind that the bribe of 100,000 francs had been received by the Minister. While this witness was deposing to the fact messengers from the Chancellor were searching the books at the proper department of the Minister of Finance to verify an account furnished by Madame PELLAPRA from among her husband's papers, described as a me morandum of the sum paid to the Minister, and the shape in which it was paid--viz., Treasury bills. Towards the latter part of the day extracts from the Treasury books were exhibited, showing that on the 2d of March, 1843, M. PELLAPRA had taken four Treasury bills, for which be paid 94,000 f., which fell due on the 2d of September following, but were not demanded till the 12th ; and on that same day, the 12th, CHARLES TESTE, the Minister's son, lodged 95,000 f. for a Treasury bill to his own order, payable the 12th of March following. The memorandum bAng thus verified, M. TESTE was called on to offer some explanation, but he merely demanded a copy of that document as well as of the notes and papers furnished by Madame PELLAPRA. The transaction, he said, appeared to belong to his son. Leaving the court, however, he was heard to exclaim that he was a lost man. At the conclusion of the day's proceedings M. TESTE was taken back to prison. The following account of what took place there in the course of the evening is from the National:— " Between eight and nine o'clock last evening an explosion was heard in one of the chambers of the prison of the Luxembourg, occupied by the accused parties in the affair of the Gouhenans mines. The attennants immediately - rushed in, and it Was tountl that M. TESTS had attempted to commit suicide. He had placed a pistol in his mouth, and pulled the trigger, but the pistol missed fire. He then placed a second pistol close to his heart, and fired, but he had pressed the weapon with such force against the part that the ball did not enter, and fell to the ground. No wound was inflicted, and the only trace of the explosion was a black mark from the powder on the flannel waistcoat and the skin. It was remarked that the discharge of the second pistol produced a severe contusion and a violent swelling, and that it was with great difficulty M. TESTE could be induced to submit to have the contusion dressed." The trial was resumed on Tuesday, but M. TESTE was not present. The report of the Commissary' of Police was read, which stated that having heard of the attempt at suicide by M. TESTE, he (the Commissary) had repaired to the prison of the Luxembourg, and upon his addressing an interrogation to M. TESTE, the latter acknowledged what he had done, saying " It is true ; I did attempt to commit suicide. I have ever pre ferred honour to life. It was my own son who pro cured me the pistols, and I thank him for the act, which I esteem one of filial piety." The declaration of Dr. BATLE was next read, de scribing the state of the prisoner. There was a con tusion on the left breast. The pistol had been so tightly pressed upon the region of the heart as to have been deprived of air, and the ball could not penetrate. The doctor ordered an application of leeches ; M. TESTE obstinately refused to allow their application but permitted him to apply an emollient poultice. The pistols were pocket pistols. The director of the prison stated that he heard a report, which he first took to be a squib. Having asked a turnkey if he had heard a report, and the latter answering in the negative, he went up to M. TESTE'S room. He saw seated on the staircase M. TESTS'S servant, looking pale and mute with fear. He hastened by him into the chamber. M. TESTE had on his trousers and shirt only. Witness ques tioned M. TESTS, asking with great emotion, " What have you done ?" "Monsieur le Directeur," coldly replied M. TESTE, and putting his hand upon his breast, "I am not hurt, and I am less moved than you are." The witness called for the doctor to be sent for, and set about -looking for the pistols. M. TESTE told him he need not trouble himself seeking, as they were on his desk. Another witness confirmed this testimony, adding that M. TESTE was perfectly calm. It was proved by the man servant that prisoner's counsel, Messrs. PAILLET and DEBRA/iT, had dined with the prisoner in the evening, and that nothing occurred to excite suspicion of his intention. He suddenly saw a light, and heard a slight report, when running into his master's chambers he exclaimed, "M. le President, what have you done ?" and then ran out, crying for help, and sat down on the stairs, where he was found by the director of the prison. The Chancellor then called on M. RENOUARD, the reporter of the commission, to read a letter he had received from M. TESTS that morning. It was as follows : "M. le Chancelier,—The incidents of yesterday's hearing allow no room for contradiction. Further discussion becomes useless. I acce p t all th at th e Court may ch oo se to do in my absence , f or my pre sence is hencef o rth of no necessity , u nl ess indeed it should judge right to constrain my appearance by force. I respect its authority, and resign myself to it." The Greffier of the Chamber read a report of the huissier, to the effect that M. TESTE bad refused to accompany him to the bar of the court. He said that " his presence was useless ; that he could not combat the facts produced against him; and that he dearly expiated the one sole act of weakness of his whole life." The Procureur-General then called upon the Court to declare all the accused guilty, and the counsel for Holland. It is generally the accused were proceeding with their addresses when the post left. Cum ,,, trs M. PELLAPRA, it is said, has arrived at Haarlem, i n supposed that General trial of I.l 7l T b x e si icqu: i t i e l , l n , o a t nd t o h i :: l3 t , :1111:thileierS will found guilty of corruption. Tlie molt of the according to nistry—it will do more, it will shake the system which constitutional government has . been lately managed in France. It will do for the violation of the Charter by fraud what the Revolution of 1830 did for the violation of the Charter by force —render it henceforth impossible, and at length the Charter will become a truth. A meeting of the members of the Ministerial majority is to take place at the house of M. DELES SERI' to consider the course which it may be proper to adopt under existing circumstances. The KING and QUEEN of the FRENCH left Paris on Monday for Dreux. • The death of Lieutenant-General SCHNEIDER, Deputy for the Moselle, and former Minister of War, was announced in the Chamber of Deputies on Mon- day, A letter from Tangiers, of the 27th ult., says— " The son of the Emperor is at Fez, and endeavours to counterbalance by preparations for war the deplora ble effect produced on the minds of the Arabs by the defeat and death of Kai& el-Hamar. Already have a thousand horse and fifteen pieces of cannon been sent to Tazz). to oppose Abd-el-Kader if he should assume the offensive. But the general opinion is that the troops of the Sultan will not dare to attack Abd-el-Kader, or that if the chief commits that imprudence, the greater part of the soldiers of Morocco will side with the Emir, whose influence increases every day, and menaces the security of the empire. The death of the kald is thus related: — He was surprised in his tent by Bou Hamedi, brother-in law of Abd-el-Kader. Some Moorish soldiers attempted to defend him, and he, seizing his gun, fired at Bou Elamedi, but missed him; Bou Hamedi then shot him down with a pistol, and afterwards cut off his head with his own hand, The Moorish soldiers, four hundred in number, seeing their chief dead, demanded the aman, and placed themselves in the service of Abd-el-Ka , der. All the Riff has revolted, and every one only waits until the harvest shall be finished and put in a place of safety, to enter into sampaign, it Abd-el-Kader shall give the signal. The harvest is very fine in all parts ; wheat, which was worth 16 to 18 ounces the almud, has de scended to 7 or 8 ounces, and will decline still more after the harvest."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS , CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm Sales 10,000 bales, of which 4,500 were American on speculation, a very large proportion, which shows the disposition to force up the price of the article, quite in dependent of demand. The transactions h.cluded 8,000 bales American, at 61d. to ;id., ant 1,000 Pernambuco, at Sid. to Bid. Railway Shares were very flat, and but a limited business was doing. Prices were firmer.

Whether any actual overtures or promises of concessions for a consideration were ever indirectly made, we are not prepared to state, but possibly all the corruption practised is not yet brought to light. There has been some demand for money in Stock Ex change circles within the last few days, owing to the rather heavy accounts in progress of adjustment, and in the general discount market capital is expected to be taken up more freely for the legitimate purposes of trade. With respect to the large imports of grain, a good portion of the amount, at least, must have been paid, according to the practice abroad, before the corn was shipped, and this should be taken into account in estimating our remain. ing liability. The French loan may not, after all, re quire much of English capital, as it is not likely to be very Popular; and for the Spanish loan, we should think no one here will be so silly as to embark tnevein. The English Funds have had a firmer tone to-day, and the Bear party are now said to have accounts still un settled, while the speculators for a rise are reported to be nearly " even." Without professing any sympathy for either party, we may remark that the market has been kept down lately without any apparent justification, and that, left to its own influence and favoured by fine weather, there would be doubtless an improvement in the quotations.

(Before Mr. Under• Sheriff BURCHELL.) DIOORE V. CAMPBELL. The plaintiff in this action is a baker in the Vassall road, Brixton; the claim was for 101. Bs. 4d. for goods sold. The defendant pleaded coverture, and in support of the plea called defendant's brother, named Baulter, who swore that he was present at the marriage of his sister at Bawtry, in Yorkshire, in 1809, to a Mr. William Duncan Campbell, and that he was still alive. Witness could not tell where he resided. Defendant had not lived with him for some years, and she had a separate income of 2001. per annum. In cross-examination he said he could not remember whether or not he gave his sister away. He had not got a certificate. A juror said that he could not believe that a man did not remember such a circumstance. The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was not improbable that a man might forget, after a lapse of 40 years, but if he intended to commit deliberate perjury, he might imme diately have said at once that he had given her away, but it was entirely a question for the jury. The jury found for defendant. PAYNE V. MAGSON. PAYNE, ADMINISTRATOR, V. MAGSON. The first was an action to recover the sum of 1061. for money lent, and the second, as administrator of his father, to recover 33/. 4s. 3d. for goods sold. The plaintiff is a brassfounder in Shoe-lane, and defendant a brass finisher. The case was wholly devoid of interest, and a verdict was given for plaintiff in each case. THE TITHE COMMISSIONERS OF ENGLAND AND WALES V. HARDEN. This was an action brought by the Tithe Commis sioners of England and Wales, to recover of the defen dant, who is a tithe valuer, the sum of 181. 18s. for the engrossments of the apportionments of the rent charge in lieu of tithes, under the Tithe Commutation Act. It appeared that the copies were ordered by defendant for the Hamlet of Catcut, and the parish of Woolhavington, in the county of Somerset. Defendant's excuse to the Commissioners was, that he could not get in the money from the landholders, and -he requested the Commis sioners to assist him in enforcing the payment. He had, however, given the orders, and promised to pay. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. INSOLVENT COUB:r —(THIS This morning the Court resumed its sittings. IN RE CHARLES 111U5k. The insolvent, who had been in partnership with James Scott Boyce, as meat salesmen in Newgate Mar ket, applied to be discharged. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS expressed bis surprise at the schedule filed by this insolvent. He owed 4801., and had owing to him as much as 2,1701. Mr. NlciloLs, who supported the insolvent, said it was as stated, but as the insolvent could nut get in his ac counts, he could not pay what he owed. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought the insolvent might have got in some of his debts; they were greatly beyond the debts he owed. The insolvent was asked about some of the debts, and it appeared that he could not get the money. In one case he took law proceedings, and the result was, that he had only to pay some law expenses. Mr. NICHOLS was of opinion that the officer of the Court (Mr. Wiggins) could collect the money for the creditors. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—If the schedule is cor rect, there is more than 20s. in the pound for the creditors. No creditor gave himself the trouble to apply for the assigneeship. The insolvent was discharged. IN RE JAMES SCOTT BOYCE. This insolvent, partner of the above, was the next applicant. His schedule was nearly the same, and a hope was expressed that the creditors would be paid n full. He was discharged. 5 to 1 6 to 1 9 to 1 In to 1 BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT (THIS DAY.) HARTEG V. REEDING.-BAD MONEY. The plaintiff, in this action, sought to recover of James Reed, a newsvender, the sum of 2s. 6d., under the fol lowing circumstances : Having been sworn, the plaintiff said that on the day of the Epsom races, he entered the defendant's shop to purchase a copy of the Evening Sun, to ascertain the result of the races. The newspaper was given to him, and in payment he tendered half a sovereign, but before he had received his change, some other gentleman pur chased an Evening Sun, for which he gave half-a-crown, and received the difference, before plaintiff, to whom 9s. 7d. was afterwards returned, amongst which was a bad halfcrown, the coin (he believed) that the defend ant had taken from the second purchaser. The plaintiff placed the money in his pocket, without examining it, and he did not discover that the halfcrown was bad until the Tuesday following. The coin had not been out of his possession during the whole time. The defendant said he could not be liable, as he did not believe that the halfcrown produced in Court was the same he had given to him in change. Mr. Dußois (the Judge)—lle has positively sworn that it is the same, and I must credit his statement, in preference to what you believe. The defendant—Yes; but I don't see that.—(Laughttr in Court.) Consider for one m oment how unprotected a tradesman would be ; any person who had a base coin might swear that. Mr. DUBOIS—But the law will not allow you to pass bad money, and it is not probable that any person would commit perjury, and risk transportation for half-a-crown. They would begin at a sovereign.— (Great laughter.) • The defendant was then ordered to pay the amount claimed, and was about to quit the Court with the bad halfcrown, when Mr. Wright, the Clerk of the Court, requested the loan of it for one moment, to test whether or not it was silver. The coin was handed back to the defendant in two pieces. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Joseph Marshall was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with being found in the pantry of the residence of Anthony Pereira, Esq., N 0.7, Park-crescent, Regent's park, with intent to commit a felony. Langton Butler, a footman in the service of com plainant, stated, that having occasion to enter the pantry at nine o'clock this morning, he was surprised to find the prisoner standing near the plate chest, containing up wards of 5,0001. worth of silver plate. Witness asked him what he wanted there? The prisoner replied that he merely called to know if they had any bottles to sell. Witness, who was not satisfied with the prisoner's ex planation, detained him till the butler came, who searched the prisoner and looked over the plate, but found nothing missing or on the prisoner. Witness, at the request of the butler. went for a constable, who took the prisoner into custody. Toe prist tier, in defence, said he was a hawker of bottles, and called in the way of business at No. 7, Park crsscent. lie was an honest man, and worked hard for his living, and denied the imputation of intending to commit a felony. Mr. BrzioHADi said his answer to the charge did not satisfy him; he must, therefore, remand him till Satur day next. WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Watling, a young man, 20 years of age, was charged with wilfully setting fire to his master's pre mises, Mr. De Sax, wadding manufacturer, Montague street, Spitalfields. _From the evidence it appeared that, on r.l79e.:idb,y week, the prisoner was observed by a lad named Wil liams to leave the premises in a hurried manner, and immediately a fire burst out. A great portion of the building and property were destroyed. Der.
