THE WRECK OF THE SIRIUS. INQUEST AT CLOYNE. On Tuesday as inquest was held at Cloyne, before Daniel Geran, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, for the purpose of ascertaining by what moans two persons, names unknown, whose bodies had been washed on shore at Ballycotton, and who were supposed to have been passengers ' inthe Sirius, came by their deaths. Several county magistrates were in attendance, and on the part of the steam-packet company Mr. Walsh (barrister), Mr. B. N. Parker, and Mr. M. Conway. The first witness called was Thomas Murphy, labourer, who deposed to having found one of the bodies on the strand xL Ballycotton, a short distance from , where the wreck lay. Mr. Charles Lightford, of London, ..cs a t s he ex7 r T u i s ne e d n , rerd lastde posed that he had been . a passenger in S Witness detailed the circumstances of the vessel's voyage. striking three times on the rocks. .Did not hear any direc tions given by the captain. The chief mate, Mr. Byrne, was giving a great many directions. Did not at this time see the captain at all. There was great confusion, and the cap tain might have been near him without his seeing him. A boat was let down from the sea side of the vessel which witness understands was swamped. Captain Cameron let down another boat, which capsized. Captain Cameron got on the rock. By his exertions and those of the chief mate several of the passengers were attached to the life buoy. The peasantry swarmed down to the vessel, and took away every thing they could. The conduct of the mate was cool and seamanlike. Edward Byrne, chief mate, examined—Captain Moffatt was on deck for an hour and a half before the vessel struck. The captain was perfectly sober and collected at the time. Steering the usual course, as they were, they considered themselves before the occurrence to be four miles off Bally cotton. All necessary directions were given to have the boats in readiness. Lad the boats been launched under his directions, they would have been sufficient to save the lives of all on board. All orders were given by the captain. Wit ness tried several times to make the captain leave the vessel. He would not leave it until after one o'clock in the day. Wit ness bad not tasted any liquors that day. When the fogcame on, did not heave the lead, as witness did not think there was any necessity for it. Richard Prendergast, sub-constable, deposed as to the fact of the loss of the first boat launched. This witness's state ment disagreed with that of the chief mate, both in respect to the launching of the boats, and the time the captain left the vessel. The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned."—Cork Examiner. LOSS OF A VESSEL WITH PRO- VISIONS FOR IRELAND. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 25.—A brig called the Gipsy was un fortunately wrecked on the Wolseners Shoal yesterday, and one of the crew, a boy, drowned. The calamity is more to be lamented. as this vessel was loaded with provisions of various sorts for Ireland, from Hull, the cargo having been purchased by the subscribers to the fund raised in that port for the re lief of the Irish. Findingill hope of saving the brig gone, the master, and the rest of his crew, took to the long-boat, and made for Hauling Island; but from the fury of the gale and the heavy sea it upset, and with great difficulty they got on shore—one man was nearly exhausted. The exertions of the officer and men of the coast-guard were highly praise worthy in rescuing them. The Gipsy is a total wreck, and her cargo quite lost. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX. DEPUTATION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. On Friday a very numerous deputation of Members of Parliament, and delegates from various parts of the metro polis and provincial cities and towns, waited upon Lord John Russell, at his official residence in Downing-street, for the purpose of urging upon the Noble Lord the necessity for a total and immediate repeal of the window-tax. Lord Duncan introduced the deputation to the Noble Pre mier, who received them with great courtesy. Mr. G. DANIELL said, as chairman of the metropolitan delegates, he was instructed to state to his Lordship, that in the present state of Irish affairs they had no desire to harass the Government by pressing for a repeal of the window-tax, but they were prepared to show that the people of England had a right to claim an exemption from this tax, as well as others which were not inflicted on the sister kingdom of Ire land. What they proposed in lieu of a window-tax was, that the Government should bring in a property-tax for Ireland, and tax the landed aristocracy of Ireland, who not only did not attend to the wants of their own poor, but who paid no taxes whatever. Mr. Daniell then proceeded to show the baneful effects of the tax in a sanatory point of view, and declared that any sanatory measure which omitted the repeal of those duties was extremely inefficient. Mr. Hume, M.P., referred to the position in which the question of the window duties stood when the present Go vernment were last in office, when he (Mr. Hume) withdraw a motion he had given notice of for the total repeal of the , window-tax, on a promise being made by Lord Althorp that in the following year half the tax should be abolished, but which, on account of the low state of the finances of the country, was not carried out. Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., the Hon. Mr. Berkeley, M.P., (Bristol), Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., Mr. Roebuck, M.P., and Bowie other members of the deputation, having severally urged the propriety of the repeal.of this . tax, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who listened to the remarks addressed to him with the most profound attention, observed that what had fallen from the members of so highly influential and respectable a deputation must necessarily command his serious consideration. He could assure them his attention should be directed to all the arguments adduced with the greatest care. He would, however, only remark that lie feared, if he should repeal this tax, there would be other parties pressing upon him, declaring that other taxes were equally obnoxious. The deputation then withdrew.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—We have been favoured (says the Dundee Adreitiser) with the following excerpt of a letter from Mr. James Bremner, civil engineer, Wick, to a gentleman in this ,quarter:—" I left the G rea t B r it a i n in charge of Capt a in Claxton, .the managing director, who is stuffing her larboard quarter with fagots, brushwood, sand bags, and chains and bolts, &c. It is Mr. Brunel's plan, and I am not sure of its effects; but I hope there will be no dan ger of her until April, when I expect to commence operations to raise her. She has quarried down six feet of the solid rock, and turned up like a plough forward. There are four feet of sand above the rock—in all, ten to ten and a half feet. She must be raised thirteen feet perpendicular height, and then her bottom patched, launched, and taken probably to Liverpool; but, if possible, to Bristol, by two steamers. The sand now in ber, which the water is over, will make her fully 300 tons weight, so that you see the lift will be no joke."

CONVICT ESTABLISHMENTS AT WOOLVVICII.—It is intended to appoint an additional chaplain, a schoolmaster, and schoolmaster's assistant, in connexion with the hulks at Woolwich, for the reception of this unfortunate class, 200 of whom were received this week on board the Warrior ship, making the total number now on board 484. Several of the convicts, who assisted in extinguishing the late fire by the spontaneous combustion of coals in the Woolwich Dockyard, have been 'pardoned, and twelve more are under considera tion, having been recommended to be pardoned for their exertions on that occasion, and for their general good con duct. A very excellent regulation has recently been intro duced, previous to the pardoning of convicts who have con ducted themselves in a manner to deserve recommendation, zhich prevents their being returned to their n a ti ve pl aces 3 outca.sts, or thrown upon the world witho u t means o f em ployment.

It appears that the officer was provided with a bench warrant, under the hand of one of the Irish Judges, granted at the county assizes upon evi dence against the prisoner, who was proved to have been the perpetrator of the crime with which he is charged, viz., the murder of a man unknown to him, whom he was in structed to punish in consequence of a family difference. The officer had been in this town in pursuit of the prisoner about twelve months ago, when he met an Irishman, to whom both be and the accused were known, and who, on his being questioned, stated that Foley bad prepared tQ depart for America. The officer held out a strong inducement td the man to disclose the accused's abode, but he would not, and the officer departed without success. The officer was again in this town a fortnight ago, and again saw the man, who then stated that Foley was in America. The man, ac cording to his own statement, shortly afterwards went over to Wigan, to acquaint Foley of their still being in quest of him, a matter which Foley made light of, and, in fact, even hesi tated to give his informant any refreshment. The man, mortified at this reception by Foley, returned to this town and informed the officer of the residence of the person he was in quest of. On receiving the information the officer promptly went to Wigan with his informant, and having got his warrant coantersigned by Mr. Joseph Acton, was assisted by some of the officers oft he borough police, end on Tuesday night, at half-past 11 o'clock, proceeded to the house where Foley, under the name of John Callagham, by which he has always been known there, resided, which was at a small re tail shop, at that time closed. The informant was directed to knock, and ask for some articles, which he did, and was admitted, on which he inquired for Callaghan, and on being informed that he was in bed, the officer entered, and on pro curing a light proceeded up stairs and apprehended the pri soner. He did not say anything further than that they were mistaken; but he was identified by the infornunt, before Mr. Thomas Cook, borough magistrate, on Wednesday, after which he was conveyed t Ireland in custody of the officer.- -Blackburn Standard.

The Commissioners of Supply for the county of Banff have transmitted a memorial to Government, to obtain the admission of British cured herrings into the con tinental markets on the same terms as those cured in Holland, &c. A more extensive field for our herring trade is much required abroad, and if such an outlet be not secured to this important branch of our native industry many thousands of our population will be thrown out of employment. In Banffshire alone 800 boats and about 8,000 persons are employed in the several departments of the herring trade. Some of the circumstances stated by the memorialists are interesting :—"ln 1810 the total cure of herrings was 90,000, it now exceeded 60,000 barrels, on an average, yearly. The failure in the potato crop, for the last two years, has exercised a most depressing influence on the price of herrings in the home markets, causing a very great diminution in their consumption ; so much so, that it is consistent with the knowledge of your memorialists, that a great quantity of crown branded full herrings, the produce of this season's catch, remains on hand at the present time in the MAI markets, unsaleable at a proportionate rate to the value of other provisions, or, where forced off, not yielding over 9s. per barrel—not half the actual cost of the barrel of cured fish as it leaves the curer's hand—a sacrifice of property ruinous to those embarked in the trade ; and, with a recurrence of the potato failure, your memoria lists are fully aware that a most material decline in this branch of our native industry must in consequence ensue—save an increased demand can be created abroad for the cured fish. Looking at the continent of Eu rope, your memorialists find that Prussia and the Ger man states are, in a manner, the only countries open for the import of British cured herring at moderate duties (Prussia, 35.) ; Russia, whose population is very fond of salted herrings, and on which we have strong claims for reciprocity in trade, would consume enormously, were our herrings admissible on a parity of duty with those of Norway, on which it amounts to Is. 2d. per barrel, while the rate leviable on Bri tish cured amounts to 4s. and 4s. 6d. per barrel, accord ing to the rate of exchange. Your memorialists can not omit stating that in consequence of this differential duty, not more than 2,000 to 3,000 barrels British cured herrings find their way into the Russia❑ markets, being at the same time well assured, that our fine and carefully cured herrings, in comparison with the coarse winter herrings of Norway, would, at, an equal, or more mode rate duty, find unlimited consumption amongst the po , pulation of the vast empire in question. It is, also, in the knowledge of your memorialists, that were the present duty of 16f.exigible on British cured herrings, on importa tion into Belgium' reduced to that leviable on the cure of the Dutch, viz., sf. per barrel, the country in question would annually draw large supplies of the article from the Scotch ports; whereas, under the existing differ ential duty, the Dutch fish-curers have a monopoly of the important fish• market under notice."—The mer chants, tisheurers, and others interested in the trade and fisheries of Orkney, have also memorialised the Govern ment to the same purpose. They set forth, amongst other disadvantages suffered by the enterprise of Orkney, that whereas the Norwegians have plenty of the best wood for the construction of herring boats, at a cost little more than the price of cutting the trees, Orkney does not produce timber. The cost of constructing ves sels is, of course, enhanced by the duty on foreign timber. Further, all the articles of foreign produce consumed by the Norwegian fishermen are imported at very low rates, while the same articles for British fishermen (such as tea) are heavily burdened. The Orkney memorialists state that the best market for cod is Spain, and that within these few years a direct trade to a considerable extent had been opened in that most important branch of the fisheries ; but that the trade has been greatly re stricted by the import dues, which are, when directly imported in a British bottom, 101. per ton ; indirectly, 121. ; directly in a Spanish vessel, 61. 10s. ; indirectly, SI. I3s. These dues are considered excessive ; while herrings, by the Spanish laws, are, if British cured, altogether excluded. As a nursery for seamen, the memorialists show the northern fishings to be of im portance, for in the last war, Orkney and Shetland fur ni.,hed upward of 5,000 effective seame❑ for the fleet.— Inverness Courier. THREATENED DISTURBANCE IN Friday forenoon there were considerable appre , hensions of a riot taking place, caused by the present high price of provisions. A number of people had as sembled in the town and neighbourhood, and about eleven o'clock a meeting took place on the Links, where one or two parties gave some very distressing details of the state to which many have been reduced, even in our city, where there has been- comparatively little word of suffering till now. About 200 of the crowd-were _rail way labourers, who came from the opposite side of the Dee, bearing a black flag, which had a somewhat ominous appearance in their hands. Another body of individuals had assembled before the Town-house, and commenced cheering and yelling, and causing considerable disturbance. The Provost, who, to gether with the magistrates, had gone to the coun cil-room on the first appearance of any riotous disposition, addressed the crowd, pointing out the uselessness and fully of their making any at tempt to disturb the public peace. In a short time the crowd took their departure for the meeting on the Links. At this assemblage, which amounted to nearly 1,000, it was agreed that a deputation should be sent to the provost, laying their melancholy case be fore him. This deputation waited upon the magistrates, and represented to them that distress at present prevails among a large portion of that class of the inhabitants, owing to the dearth of provisions ; the magistrates, while they deeply sympathised with their fellow citizens for the cause which was mentioned, At once expressed their desire to use all means within their power to alle viate the suff.rings of the people as far as possible, trusting that every one would have the good sense not to aggravate the c ►lamity by any disorderly conduct. And at the same time, in furtherance of the assurance they gave the deputation, they lost no time in having a meeting ,►ith the principal grain merchants in Aberdeen, who expressed an earnest desire to co operate with the magistrates in the benevolent object which they hail in view, and readily agreed in the meantime nut to purchase more grain tOr shipment, in order. if possible, that the high price of meal may be reduced, stating, at the same time, that they could not avoid lu:tilling contracts which they had already entered into, and which they were bound by law to fulfil. The magistrates expressed a hope that this would be satis factory to every well-disposed person, and trusted that matters would soon take a favourable turn, and relief be afforded to those who may at present be suffering from the dearth of the necessaries of life. Throughout the day considerable excitement prevailed. At 3 o'clock a meeting was held in the court house for the purpose of swearing special constables. In the course of the afternoon a portion of the crowd made an attempt to take flour from a cart in Trinity-quay, and one of the principal ringleaders, while in the act of cutting one of the sacks and rolling it from the cart, was taken prisoner by Mr. Barclay, one of the puree, while his co:npanions looked quietly on and saw him carried away and lodged in prison. Throughout the afternoon there was little noise, but as the evening advanced a crowd of boys collected, and gradually increased, re• ceiving from all (porters additions of people of more ad vanced years. '1 he shops were closed in the neighbour hood of Castle-street, and with good need, for a con. sidereble number of a indows were broken, especially in Mareschal-street. Between six and seven o'clock the whole body of police, day and night, made a sally upon a crowd of about 500 or 600, who were pelting them with stones, and, after a struggle, succeeded in taking a number of persons. They had frequent encounters with detached parties here and there throughout the evening, and before ten o'clock there were upwards of 50 men, besides a great number of women, imprisoned. The however, was not such as rendered it necessary to call out the special constables. All has been quiet during the night.-4 berdecn Herald. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MOR NIN G , FEn RUARY l , 1847 LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCERY COURT, Jan. 30. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.) LETTS P. THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a suit instituted against the Blackwell Railway Company, for compensation for the loss of tithes, so occa sioned by the construction of their railway. The facts have already appeared fully in The Sun. His HoNoun delivered judgment to-day, and decided that in the case of certain houses specified in the bill, the com pany should pay 2s. 9d. in the pound, in that of others the rate originally paid, and with respect to some other points he reserved his judgment. The cause was ordered to be mentioned the first day after term. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE.) 310XUAY V. INDERWICK. This suit was instituted by the plaintiff, who is the well-known proprietor of the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of enforcing a contract for the sale of the in closure in Leicester-square. In 1839 the inclosure was put up for sale on behalf of Mr. Inderwick, by Mr. Robins, and was purchased by a Mr. Hyams, for the sum of 4501. Hr. Hyams then entered into a contract with Mr. Moxhay for the sale of his purchase. It appeared that at the time of the auction it was stated in one of the particulars that there was a covenant in the criginal lease to prevent any purchaser from building upon the land. The defendant being now called upon to complete the contract, refused to do so unless the purchaser would enter into a covenant similar to what he had himself entered into not to build. It appeared that the purchaser had now delayed the completion of the contract for three years, but having recently been informed that the covenant not to build did not run with the land, and could not be enforced against him, he had now commenced these proceedings. It was obvious that there would be a very material difference in the value of the land, since, if it were built upon, it would be worth several thousand pounds, instead of the pur chase-money, 4501. His HONOUR thought that there was sufficient evidence to show that the purchase must be completed. He did not see that there was any case made out of abandoning the contract, or of Inches in coming for its completion. He should, therefore, direct a reference to the master to approve of a proper conveyance under the contract, as to whether the covenant not to build could now be en forced. That would be a very difficult question, and would require much argument. At a future time it would be necessary to try that question in a court of law. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Jan. 30. (Sittings in Banco.) After the motions had been brought to a conclusion, the Court ordered the "new trial " paper to be called on. Mr. Collett, M.P., had sent with that view. He also stated that the warrant under which the punishment was inflicted was signed before the meeting of the court-martial, and that it was most improbable that a commanding officer, under whose direction it was called, would modify the punish ment which they considered ought to be inflicted. He also replied to the various articles which had been pub lished in the newspapers reflecting upon his conduct. .Now he (Mr. Cockburn) did say that such language and such a proceeding on the part of Mr. Wakley disentitled him to the interposition cf the Court. After the inquest had been held—immediately of of--he came forward and presided at a public meeting, and in an inflammatory speech, fresh from the exercise of his public functions, ad verted to the circumstances under which that in quiry was made.—the circumstances which occurred at it, and questioned the authority of the court martial, and those who sat at it—a line of conduct most reprehensible in one filling a judicial situation. Therefore, he repeated, that he was not entitled to the protection of the Court. The affidavit went on to set forth that an advertise ment had been published in the Lancet, which he ( Mr. Healey) believed was inserted for the purpose of raising subscriptions for Mr. Wakley, for the way in which he had conducted the inquiry. He might truly say, that Mr. Wakley was the proprietor of the paper. Then Mr. Wak ley had adopted an excellent plan to combat the statements put forward in the Medical Times, as, in reply to a question from Mr. Craven Berkeley in the House of Commons, he stated, no doubt well knowing that it would find its way to the public that the alleged libel " was written by a stupid lawyer, who knew as much about medical matters as the Hon. Member, judging from the way in which he had read it." The next affidavit was that of Dr. Reid, who was ono of the army medical staff, and who stated that the man had died from pleura, or inflammation in the lining membrane of the heart, and complaining that the conduct of Mr. Wakley had caused the evidence of the medical gentlemen to be looked upon with suspicion. Next there was the affidavit of Mr. Day, who was the surgeon first appointed by the jury. He stated that he examined the body with Mr. Wilson, and that they agreed as to the cause of death ; and that, remembering that concurrence, he was surprised at the ttcimony which ;Mr. Wilson gave at the inquest, namely, that the contraction of the muscles during the punishment bad caused inflammation, which ultimately led to the unfortunate man's death. lie also complained that Dr. Warren and the other medical gentleman were not treated with that courtesy which they had a right to expect from a court of justice. The medical gentlemen were not allowed to be present in the court during the last day, thus again acting in opposition to the usual practice, and casting suspicion on their testimony, whereas Mr. Wilson was ushered in with a sort of flourish, as a most competent person to speak to the nature and ap pearances of the human skin; he was first asked if he had not published some books on the subject. He said he had, adding that they were out of print, and that he could not recol lect their titles. Might it not be affirmed, with considerable truth, that Mr. Wakley knew the opinions of Mr. Wilson on the subject of corporal punishment, and that be employed him in order to destroy the testimony of the other medical gentle men? After some further remarks, he concluded by trusting that the Court would discharge the rule. _ _ _ Mr. BALLANTINE followed on the same side. He referred at length to the summing up of Mr. Wakley at the inquest, and held that his conduct, in the whole matter, was more like that of an advocate than of a judge ; that he had influenced and prejudiced the minds of the jury, and that his great object was to create for himself popularity, and not the promotion of the ends of justice. When he read the report of the meeting at Exeter Hall, it struck him that the address which he delivered placed him wholly beyond the interposition cf tie Court. Dr Hall, from whom an affi. davit could not be obtaii;ed on account of his being at the Cape of Good Hope, agreed with the other medical gentle- man that Mr. Wakley bullied them, and completely nullified their testimony in the minds of the jury. Then the speech at Exeter Hall contained terms as strong as those of the article of which he complained. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proceeded to address the Court in support of the rule. He said he was more inclined to believe that the sentiments of his Learned Friend ( Mr. Ballantine) were those of his 'client ,than sentiments in which he could participate with any sincerity, because he had charged Mr. Wakley, if not with having committed perjury, with having sworn jesuitically. A direct attack had been made upon Mr. Wakley in his capacity as coroner; but he should show that the conduct of Mr. Wakley, in this re spect, was above reproach, and he should prove this by the very tests which his Learned Friend (Mr. Ballantine) had applied, as he should refer in proof of it to the reports of the proceedings which the defendants had had verified on oath. Now the libel was published two days be fore Mr. Wakley had arranged to sum up the evidence, and to bring the inquiry to a close. On first meeting the jury, Mr. Wakley stated that the line of investigation he should pursue was this—first, to inquire into the man's health at the time he was punished; and next, into the punishment itself. The inquiry proceeded, therefore, in its natural course—in the course laid down at the commencement. On that occasion he stated that he considered it most important that the spine should be examined, as the man's legs had been paralysed two days before his death. Mr. Day was appointed, but on being examined he stated that he could give the reason of Lis his death without such an examination. But the jury con sidered that the spine ought to be examined, and desired the coroner to nominate a proper person to do so, and the inquiry was adjourned. Lord DEN3IAN said it was admitted that the inquiry was properly conducted, and that the summing up of the coroner was proper and temperate. The proceedings were be fore the Court, and were verified by affidavits. Now, he did not think that there was anything in these proeeedings proving misconduct of any kind. He thought, therefore, the Court might save the Learned Counsel a deal of trouble by informing him that they consi dered his conduct in that particular respect unimpeachable; therefore the question would turn upon the conduct of the coroner towards the medical witnesses. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thanked the Court for this inti mation, and proceeded to deal with that part of the subject. After reading the alleged libel at length, and commenting upon the various expressions used, he asked what they could think of the conduct of the defendant in publishing such an article on the very eve of the - close of the Inquiry to which it referred—an article which charged Mr. Wakley with hinting conjec tural replies to private soldiers, with wishing to bring a charge of murder to the door of a respectable medical practitioner (Dr. Warren), and, fading him, the commanding officer, and, failing him, the farrier; with traducing the cha• racter of a justice; with dividing fees with his " man of all work," Dr. Wilson; and with seeking popularity in order to help his fortunes at the next election? Did Mr. Healey mean to set up that he did not know who wrote the article which imputed such motives? •. Mr. BALLANTINE said he had sworn that he did not. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said much stress had been laid upon the speech which Mr. Wakley had delivered at Exeter Hall. It was very natural for Mr. Wakley to have adopted such a mode of making his sentiments known ; few, he apprehended, in that court would like to retract such expressions as those used by Mr. Wakley on that oc casion. Then, the medical gentlemen were excluded from the'inquest and from the post-mortem examination, by the wish of the jury. But even if that was indiscreet, did that fur nish Mr. Healey with any pretext for publishing such a libel ? He apprehended also that the Act referred to with respect to the examination of medical men had not been unheeded but complied with. lie concluded by expressing a hope that the Court would make the rule absolute. Lord DENMAN said he was at loss to understand why the medical men who had first seen the body, and who were ignorant of the fact that the man's legs h - ad been paralysed two days before his death, were excluded from the last ex a:nination of the body. A The ATTORNEY-GENERL said th e med i cal gentlemen who were excluded knew that paralysis had taken place. The jury considered that the examination should b e ma d e by a medical man from London, and that none save Air. Wilson should be present. Mr. BilastwELL briefly addressed the Court. The Cocnv took time to consider their decision, and desired to have the affidavits on both sides, which were handed in. COURT OF COAIIMUN PLEAS, Jan. 30. BEAUMONT V. BRENDF.N. had seen at the plaintiff's shop This was a case which was tried on Wednesday last, before at the back of the shop for him. ' Mr. Justice Coltman, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. The action was brought by a doachmaker to recover the price of a carriage, which the a d n ef d en o d rd a e n r t e , d it to w b as e On Monday, the 15th, by the defendant's order, the carriage was sent home, and he was driven out in it that day, but on Monday it was returned, and bad never been paid for. Two points had been raised—whether there was o f the goods within the statute of an acceptance put t eg as el frauds •, and if there bad been an acceptance, whether it had not been on the Sunday, and therefore void. The Learned Judge gave leave to move on these points to enter a nonsuit. Mr. PRENTicr now m oved for the rule, contending there was a distinction betw een delivery and acce p tance, and that if even there was a go od delivery, which he submitted there was not, still there bad been no acceptance.—Rule granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 30. lIE DONALDSON. This bankrupt who had carried on business as a coach maker in Regent-street and Margaret-street, came up to pass his last examination. The bankrupt said he WAS not prepared with his accounts as they had not been properly made out. The Learned C O NIMISSIO RNO said accountants were not recognised by the Court, it was the duty of the bankrupt to make up his accounts. The report of the official assignee was put in, from which it appeared that the sums entered in this account appeared to have been arrived at by guess work or balancing one item against the other, although there was a ledger, day-book, cash-book, journals, and other materials fot making a perfect account. The bankrupt said it was all the fault of his accountant. The Learned COMMISSIONER--I repeat that we do not re cognise accountants here; thus it is that bankrupts attempt to deceive the Court, letting accountants make out a specious account, which the bankrupt signs and swears to. The bankrupt said he had refused to sign it or swear to it, but he could not get the accounts in time to make one out according to the rules of the Court. The Co3tmisstorata said it was quite clear that the bank rupt could not pass on these accounts, and the estate ought not to be put to the expense of another meeting, but as the official assignee (Mr. Green), who always took a kindly part, had expressed his belief that the bankrupt was an honest man, he would adjourn the case for a short time for proper accounts, but this case ought to be a warning to all bank rupts.—Adjourned accordingly. Robinson and KEEPING L A OHNops.ooit7,,,st.ErAsmEs.loAns,! S. Joseph Smith, who were indicted some time since for keeping a disorderly house in Hare-court, .Aldersgate- street, were called up to receive judgment. Mr. CLARKSON stated that at the last session he made an application for the recognizances to be estreated, as the de fendants did not appear, and they had not abated the nuisance. Mr. Posten, the vestry clerk, proved giving de fendants notica to appear, but they laughed in his face— there being, however, some slight irregularity in the notice, the Court had directed other notices to be serv ed for th is day, which had been done, and immediately afterwards it was thrown out into the street. Evidence was adduced to this effect, and The RECORDER said it must be stated on Affidavits. A man got up to say he had taken the house, and was going to open it on Monday in the chimney-sweeping lin e . He took it last week of Mrs. Robinson's servant, who kept the house. The RECORDER (to Air. Clarkson) —Here is a lucky thing for you. This man is just the one to prove the occupancy. Let him be join e d i n the affidavit. The witness, wh o h a d ev i dent l y g one up thinking b y a side-wind to assi s t th e parties, seemed somewhat surprised at the turn affairs had taken. lie said he had only come up to "claim protection," as he meant to carry on trade. The RECORDER said the parish officers would not interfere with him if he only carried on legitimate business. REMOVAL OF A PAurzn.—ln a parish appeal against the removal of a pauper, Mr. PAISHLEY handed in a consent by COULUieI ()a both sides, that the oider should be quashed, ply the ground that the pauper was irremoveable under the last Act, which prevented paupers from being removed after a residence of 5 years in the parish in which they became liable. A note to that effect was marked in the hope that the Court would have it i❑ the order, to prevent any future removal.—The order was quashed. his worship of this fact, and to add that she had been at once acquitted on the ground of insanity, a defence which h• should urge in the present case. He thf.n culled the prisoner's husband, who stated that his wife had been tried in June for stealing a shawl from the grounds of the Duke of Northumberland, at Isleworth, during aftte given there, and added that she had been acquitted on the ground of insanity. He also said ttiat after the trial one or two of the jurors had called on him, sympathised with him, and said that they should have taken the shawl themselves under similar circum stances, Mr. E . Lutoz remarked chat from this it would appear that insanity was not alone the grounds of acquittal. The question of insanity was one for the consid , rati , m of the jury, and he should certainly send the case fur trial. Application was then made to the magistrate for the restoration of 6/. odd, which was found on the prisoner when taken into custody, but he only allowed 11. of that amount to be returned. WANDS WORTH. William Barber and D. Stunner were charged with stealing a quantity of wooden sleepers from the experi mental railway on Wimbledon-common. It appeared that three years ago the scheme of a wooden railway was carried out at Wimbledon, under permission of Earl Spencer, the lord of the manor, It was in the form of the figure nine, and a mile in length, extend.rg to the mill at Wimbledon. common. Guard wheels were used in addition to the wheel of the ordi nary railway carriage. It ultimately proved a complete failure, and recently the wooden sleepers were sold for firewood, Barber was observed by Police-constable Cowper to convey away a number of the blocks in two sacks, and these were afterwards found in Stanmer's yard. Mr. PAYNTER said there was no proof of a guilty re ceiving on the part of Stanmer, and he must be dis charged. He should commit Barber fur trial, but would accept bail. MARKET NEWS.-(SATURDAY.)

Saturday, a young man named Charles Shell, respectably connected, late shopman to Mr. Jesse Jones, draper at Uxbridge, was brought up for final examination, before Messrs. T. Dagnail, H. H. Cox, C. Mills, and I'. T. Clark, the sit ting magistrates in that town, on a charge of having, for a lengthened period, robbed his master. The case ex cited the greatest interest, the magistrates' room at the King's Arms Inn being crowded in every part during the examination, which occupied three hours. From the depositions taken it appeared that the prisoner, previous to his entering Mr. Jones's service, was a member of an Independent chapel at Woolwich, where he instructed the children on Sundays, and by such an ostensible show of true religion, he so ingratiated himself with the mem bers of the congregation, that he was universally re spected. When he came to Uxbridge he courted the society of the dissenters, and by them was considered a fit person to assist in their schools. Ile also preached oc casionally in the neighbouring villages, and was a pro fessed despiser of evil associates. Eventually, however, from some extravagant purchases the prisoner made, Mr. Jones began to suspect that he was more hypocrite than saint, and the fact was established by the admission of the prisoner himself, who acknowledged that he had frequently robbed his master. He was, however, al lowed to go away from Mr. Jones's in the first instance, but the prosecutor, finding subsequently, that he had been robbed to a great extent by the prisoner, the latter was taken into custody at Woodford, in Essex, where he had got into a new situation. He was fully committed for trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE Poon POET.—An old man of diminutive stature, who stated his name to be Thomas Mills, appeared to complain against Mr. Roberts, one of the relieving offi• cers of the East London Union. The officer was not present at the time, but the Lord Mayor wished to know why the complainant attended, as he had not the evi• dente of pauperism about him. The coinplainent said he complained against Mr. Roberts, because he refused to endeavour to prevail upon the guardians to advance him 21., for the purpose of re deeming 1,000 copies of poetry, which he had written some dine ago, and the appearance of which before the public would certainly fix him in an independent, as well as an elevated position in society. Ihe rejection of his appeal not having core from the proper authority, and having no means of approaching the guardians, he un derstood the Lord Mayor was the most likely person to give him satisfaction. The LORD MAYOR said the law had undergone a com plete alteration, and taken the power of interfering with the poor wholly out of the hands of the magistracy. The Applicant—The poetry, of which a stationer in Bethnal-green has 1,000 copies, is worth a considerable sum. I redeemed fifty copies irom him some, time ago, and he compelled me to pay 30s. for them. It is very injudicious in the officers of the union to reject such an application, for if they do not assist the to procure my verses, they must have myself and my wife to support in the workhouse. The LORD MAYOR asked what led the applicant to suppose that at such a time he could get such a good sale for poetry, which his Lordship considered was not exactly the sort of composition from which an independ ence was to be obtained, except it was poetry of a very peculiar kind. Th to him to be calculated to do much public good. He empuoraor l apnodetrruerpalli,eadntdhautrtmhestvicehrsseus hi b e e c t had s writwritten ware d was well able, although upwards of seventy years of age, to earn by his pen at any rate 1,5001. a year. The Lome MAYOR—By writing poetry? The Poet— No, my Lord. If so be I get these copies, I know that they will be picked up by the public with great avidity. One of tbem is on the popular subject of the extensive use of granite stone, and others comprehend the use of steam and gas, and are likely to gain additional cele brity from the philosophical tinge which I have given to them. The LORD MAYOR—But have you derived much pe cuniary advantage from your poetry? The Poet— Never, my Lord.—(Laughter.) I have been particu larly unfortunate in that respect, but that is no reason I should despair. lam as well able as ever to write, and have the advantage of additional experience every day. Besides I have the promise of Mr. Disraeli to get the patronage of the Queen and Prince Albert for me. The LORD MAYOR—Have you any acquaintance with Mr. Disraeli? The Poet—No, my Lord, but I know the sort of writing which he admires, and I think I can hit it off to perfection. lle and Mr. Briscoe took seve ral volumes of a work which I published seventeen years ago; in that hook I did justice to Mr. Briscoe, the Member of Parliament, for his humanity in perse vering till he succeeded in abolishing the cruel system of the treadmill in the case of poor unhappy females. The LORD MAYOR—But if you have been so unlucky as not to have made a livelihood by the use of your pen in poetry, you must have had some trade, or profes sion, or occupation by which you have been enabled to live? The Poet—l am by trade a hoot-closer, but my eyes are bad, and that sort of game is unprofitable. The LORD MAYOR—But it is better than that which produces nothing? The Poet—Scarcely; till I could get by it was six or seven shillings a week, and that without hope. But whatois that compared to 1,500/. a year, with hope in the extreme?—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR said the applicant was a very re markable instance of a persevering spirit under all the discomfiture of hungry labour and aggravated disap pointments, and requested his acceptance of some silver for his present exigencies. Ths poet was grateful for the donation, but it was quite evident that the advice of the Lord Mayor to prefer a positive to an imaginary good, passed away with the breath that uttered it. It was impossible to help smiling at the resolute determination of the poor fellow to con tinue in the service of the muse, hard and unthankful as tbsi/ee, afflicting who ss , a a witnessed the that service evidently was .

Mr. Goodma n —l am sue that Mr. Roberts will treat such a man as y ou w i t h ki n d ness, and that the guardians will not neglect y our app li cat i on if you ma k e i t through him to them. CHARGE OF STEALING COPPER.—John Moore, ware houseman in the Copper Mi nes R o y a l C om p an y, was charged with h av i ng sto l en a quant i ty o f copper, t h e property o f th e company. Th e pr i soner h ad b een i n the service of th e p rosecutor b e t ween thi rty an d forty years ; and L ou i sa M oore was c h arge d w i t h h av i ng re s ceived the copper. Suspicions having been attached to the prisoner Moore, Mr. Kirkman, one of the directors of the company, instructed llaydon, a very active policeman of the City force, to watch his movements. The officer accordingly went to work, and was almost the companion of both prisoners in a coffee-shop and a public-house, and a but cher's shop, into all of which they went. He saw the male prisoner give the copper to the female prisoner e and all the other evidence necessary having been given, both prisoners were committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREE CONVICTION UNDER THE FACTORY ACT.—OR Satur day, William Roberts, apparently a mechanic, appeared before Mr. Broughton, to answer an information at the instance of Mr. James Bury, a sub-inspector of factories, charging him with having altered a certificate of bap tism, with intent to defeat the provisions of the Act of the 7th and Bth Victoria, for the registration of infant labour in factories, whereby he had incurred a penalty of 20/., or six months' imprisonment. It appeared from the evidence gone into, that the defendant being anxious to obtain employment for Abel Roberts, his son, a boy of twelve years, in the factory of Mr. James Austin. the proprietor of the steam cotton and flax mills in Princes -street, Finsbury, and knowing that the boy would not be employed unless he was thirteen years of age, went on the 24th of November last to Mr. Foster, the vestry clerk of Wandsworth, whose wife (Mr. Foster being from home) he asked for a copy of the certificate of baptism of his son, who was born in that parish, and having told her the object for which he desired it, asked her if there would be any harm in his altering the date, so as to enable him to get the boy off his hands; on which she cautioned him that such a proceeding might probably subject him to trans portation. The correct certificate was sent, him the next day, and on the 28th of November ho obtained employment for the boy in the factory on the faith of the certificate which he had altered so as to represent his son to be upwards of thirteen years old. The boy remained there until the 18th inst., when Mr. Bury visited the factory, and the discovery took place which led to theeprestnt proceedings. The Defendant pleaded poverty and distress in ex tenuation of his offence. He was fined in the mitigated penalty of 40s or 14 days' imprisonment.

Mr. Gam , :s said he did not, but his client had been fined 265. at that Court so late as the 15th instant, at the suit of the same parties for a similar offence on the sth, and he pointed out the injustice of the present proceedings. Mr. COTTINGHAM said Wyatt ought to have laid the present information at the time he did the former one. It appeared to him that he was endeavouring to get money from the defendant. Such proceedings were un fair to the magistrate and to Mr. Osbaldiston.

Whereas an Act was passed in the fourth year of the reign of his late Alajes:y, intituled, "An Act to regulate the Labour of Children and Young Persons in the Mills and Factories of the United Kingdom ;" and another Act was passed in the session of Parliament held in the seventh and eighth years of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled, "An Act to amend the Laws relating to Labour in Fac tories ;" and by the said first-mentioned Act it was pro vided that no person under the age of eighteen years should be employed in any such mill or factory as in the said Act is metioned, in any description of work as thereinbefore specified, more than twelve hours in any one day, nor more than sixty-nine hours in any one week, except as there, inafter is provided; and by the said last-mentioned Act it was provided, that no female above the age of eighteen years should be employed in any factory as defined by the said Act, save for the same time and in the same manner as young persons (by the said Act defined to be persons of the age of thirteen years, and under the age of eighteen years) might be employed in factories: And whereas it is expedient to alter the said Acts for the purpose of further restricting the hours of labour of young persons and females in factories: Be it enacted, by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament as .. sembled, and by the authority of the same, That, notwith standing anything in the said Acts contained, from the first day of May one thousand eight hundred and forty-seven, no person under the age of eighteen years shall be employed in any such mill or factory iu such description of work as in the said first-mentioned Act is specified, for more than eleven hours in any one day, nor for more than sixty •three hours in any one week, except as in the said Act is pro vided; and that, from the said first day of May one thousand eight hundred and forty-seven, the said two Acts before mentioned shall in all respects be construed as if the prtvi sion in the said first-mentioned Act contained, as to persons under the age of eighteen years working in mills and factories, had been confined to eleven hours instead of twelve hou►s in any one day, and to sixty-three hours in any one week, instead of sixty-nine hours.

STRUCTED BY THE DRIFT, SCe.—One of the most eaten.' sive obstructions of the public road by snow drift, that has happered for many years, occurred last Week on the road from Ballantrae, by Glenap, to Stranraer.

A hearse and funeral party were also blocked up by the snow, not far from Aucheucrosh. The party, finding further progreia impossible lefs the hearse in the snow till the roil should be cleared.

RUCK AND OTHERS. The arguments in this case, which had been com menced on Friday, were the first. Mr. Martin was about to continue his arguments is opposition to the rule for a new trial, when The LORD CHIEF BARON, in interrupting him, said there must be a new trial. There appeared to be no chance of the respective counsel agreeing upon the facts, so as to have a special case drawn. Mr. MARTIN had a great objection to the case going to a jury. lle had seen the manner in which a jury had treated just such a case as this. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he thought juries ought to be spoken of more respectfully ; their duties were of the highest importance, and ought not to be spoken of so slightingly. Mr. MARTIN said he had nothing to say against juries individually; but he had seen hundreds of wrong ver dicts given by juries. In the present case an agreement had been made between the parties that the Court of Exchequer should, upon the facts proved, draw such conclusions as the Court might think proper, and either party objecting might have a special verdict, and might take the matter to the Court of Error. The LORD CHIEF BARON said, to enable the opinion of the Court to be taken, the parties must agre^ as to the facts, and that had not been done. After much discussion upon the subject, Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that, in his opinion, the matter could be settled by the Lord Chief Baron, in the same way as the late Lord Tenterden had been accus tomed to settle cases where counsel could not agree upon the facts. Each counsel sent in a list of the facts he ad mitted and those he rejected, and then the case was settled upon such facts as to his Lordship deemed pro per and just. Mr. MARTIN said he would be quite content with such a course. The LORD CHIEF BARON said the Court were anxious to carry out the objects of the parties in such a way as that justice should be done. He would therefore make another effort to settle a special case. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. O. THE LATE CASE OF MILITARY FLOGGING AT HOUNSLOW. THE QUEEN, ON THE PROSECUTION OF MIS. WAKLEy a. HEALEY •ND COOKS, THE PROPRIETOR, AND ruatasimit OF TILE'' MEDICAL TIMES." In this case a rule had been obtained by the Attorney- General, at the instance of Mr. Wakley, M.P., and Coroner for Middlesex, calling upon the defendants to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them fur the publication of an article in that periodical of the Ist of August, last, which charged Mr. Wakley with having conducted the well-known inquiry at Hounslow into the death of White, a private in the 7th Hussars, in an improper and disgraceful manner, with having hinted, and suggested, and suborned the soldiers who came before the court to give evidence, and with being in the habit of staring the fees of post-mor tem examinations with Mr. Erasmus Wilson, whom he, in his capacity of coroner, was in the habit of appointing to make such examinations. Mr. CoCKBUISN, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Ballantine), showed cause against the rule. He said these proceedings arose out of a matter which would, no doubt, be still in the recollection of their Lorships, namely, the inquiry at Houns low into the death of a soldier named White, a private ot' the 7th Hussars, who died after receiving corporal punishment in the barracks in question. The punishment was inflicted on the 15th of June, and he died on the 11th of July. The in quest was commenced on the 15th of that month, and was adjourned from time to time, for intervals of about a week each, until the jury arrived at the opinion that the man had died from the punishment to which he had been sub jected, Several articles appeared at that time in the Medical Times, commenting upon the conduct of Mr. Wakley in con ducting the inquiry. Lord DENMAN said, if he recollected rightly, the article in question was much more than a mere comment—it attributed conduct to Mr. Wakley out of court in connexion with the inquest, which certainly could not come under that defini tion. It contained comments on what happened in court. Mr. COCKBURN said, no doubt the article complained of consisted of comments on Mr. Wakley's conduct in prose cuting the inquiry. Although he did not mean to set up that all the expressions used were justifiable, yet he intended to contend that there was so much irregularity iu the way in which the inquest was conducted, that many of them were perfectly so. Besides, the whole matter had been freely commented upon by Mr. Wakley in the House of Coin rnons, and at a public meeting at which he presided, shoo ing that the defendants had a perfect right to comment in a like manner, not only on the policy of the punishment, but on the way in which Sir. Wakley con ducted the inquiry. Having read the alleged libel at length, and the medical opinions which were included in the article, he went on to read, and to comment on, the affidavit filed by Mr. Wakley, which detailed the nature of the inquiry amid the cause of the various adjournments. The course adopted .at the inquest, with respect to the medical testimony, was completely at variance with the Act of Parliament—namely, the 6th and 7th Wm. IV., c. 81—which detailed the course still adopted at inquests with respect to such evidence. Mr. Wakley had held a vast number of inquests, and therefore could not be ignorant of the line of conduct, which the Act pointed out. That Act enacted that it should be lawful for a coroner to issue his order to compel the attendance of the surgeon who attended, or who was present at the death, of the person on whom the inquest was held, or if no oue so attended, or was present at the death of the person on whom the inquest was held, then some medical gentleman residing in the vicinity; and that if the jury were dissatisfied with his or their testimony, that the jury should supply the coroner in writing with the name or names of any medical practitioner or practitioners whom they might wish to attend, either for the purpose of giving evidence, or for the purpose of making a post mortem examination. Now when he told their Lordships that the surgeons were of the first class, and sent down by Sir John Macgregor, and that Mr. Wakley must have known that their testimony ought to have been taken first, and that he gave them the " go by," and took the evidence of Mr. Wilson in the first instance, they could not but be of opinion that Mr. Waklev had acted in direct contravention of the Act. Instead of hearing the evidence of Mr. Day, who was called in the first instance to examine the body, and who made that examines tion, and who being unconnected with the army was an un biassed witness, Mr. Wakley, according to his own state ment, asked Mr. Day a question, and because he was not satisfied with the way in which he had performed the cross examination, he thought proper to suggest to the jury the appointment of another medical gentleman, and he appointed Mr. Wilson, who had been his pupil—a protege of his own. It the gentlemen so sent had been allowed to give their evidence in the ordinary and legal way, no imputation would have been thrown, as he contended there was, on their Learned testimonycoagnndseclrtehadTiplirtuyeeeindetdhowiibemthintdhse aoffif d t a h v e i tj.o It t a l t ' e h d e that the inquiry was adjourned on the 27th, for the purpose of affording another medical gentleman time to make an ex amination. On his way home, in his carriage, he met Mr. Wilson in Oxford-street, and after informing him that Mr. Day had omitted to examine the man's spine, he desired him to do so, and to make a report to the jury; that examination was made, but the medical gentlemen connected with the army were excluded. After detailing the qualifications of Mr. Wilson, the affidavit concluded by s. positivs d en i a l of the charges conveyed in the article, that he had n ever s h ared the pro ceeds of post-mortem examinations with Mr. Wilson, and that in conducting the inquiry he was actuated solely by a con scientious desire to promote the ends of justice. The affidavit of Mr. Wilson entirely corroborated the affidavit of Mr. Wakley. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read and comment on the affidavits filed in reply. The affivadits of Mr. Healey and Mr. Cook stated that they believed that the statements in the articles in question, with a few exceptions, were true, and that they were written and published solely for the public benefit, and not for any other object whatever, the inquiry having been one of the utmost importance to medical gentlemen. The words " partner in the post-mortem fees" were not susceptible of the interpretation which had I been put upon them, alio were not intended to convey that they shared the proceeds of such examinations. It meant that the frequency with which Sir. Wilsun was so appointed, and the fees which he received in that capacity, and Mr. Wakley, as coroner, looked like a partnership in post-mortem exanduations on account of this frequency, and not that Sir. Wilson handed Mr. Wakley part of the proceeds. Mr. Wakley admitted having employed Mr. Wilson 25 times, adding that he had emp:oyed other medical men as frequently. Dr. Hall sought the publication of the medical testimony in the Medical Times, as he and the other medical men bed not a fair opportunity of adducing it before the coroner. Mr. Wilson had been for some time sub-editor of the Lancet, -- and had been under -- great obligations to Mr. Wakley, which, he (Mr. Healey) thought was calculated to bias his opinion, and to render bum an unfair witness. Then Mr. Wakley presided at a meeting at Exeter-Hall, which was called for the purpose of forming a society to promote the abolition of corporal punishment. Several privates of the Guards were present. The I ,earned Counsel read a report of the speech which Mr. Wal iley made, from the Morning Chronicle, that stigmatised the infliction of corporal punishment as most un civilized and 1:n utal in the highest degree, and recommended that a subscription should be set on foot to liberate thd two privates Cook and Mathewson, who gars evidence at the inquest, agd produced a chew 1112ich ----- L i ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES _OF YOUT.- - A MATURITY.
