LONDON: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1840. The last intelligence from China has quite con founded the Tories. The memorial recommending the general massacre of all foreigners, without dis tinction of guilt or innocence, which met with so favourable a reception from his Celestial MAJESTY, the Board of War, and the Grand Military Coon dal, has put a stop to all the nonsense about the humanity and the immaculate innocence of the Chinese Government. The Imperial " Son of Gf Heaven's sense of justice was not in the least shod el by the perusal of TsANG WANG-YEN'S plan for the wholesale slaughter of all foreigners in China. On the contrary, his MAJESTY appears to have hemp delighted with it. He commanded it to be carefully copied, and forwarded to the High Com missioner LIN, who with Admiral KWA N, Kwo, commander of the land forces, and E, another military dignitary, were to examine it, in conjunc tion, and report upon its practicability. If approved of by these officers—and NVe have no reason to suppose that it has been !ejected—an attempt to extent , : it to the very letter has ere this been made. Indeed the attempt twice made to burn the British fl( et in Toongkuo bay, crowded not only with British merchants but such of their wives and chil dren as before resided at ;Macao, incline us to the opinion that TANG WANG-YEN'S memorial, which recommends this diabolical process of des truction, was as favourably received by LIN and his coadjutors as by the EMPEROR and his Council of War. This single transaction clearly shows in what light the people of England otOit to view the boasted morality of the Chinese Government. Few who will take the trouble to examine it, can be imposed upon by LlN's specious appeals to the humanity of the Queen of ENGLAND, to whom his Excellency has thought proper to athitess a second letter, in which her MAJESTY is greeted as a vassal of the Celestial Empire. The object of the Commis sioner in addressing these letters to the Queen of ENGLAND, is wholly misunderstood by such English journals as hare expressed any opinion about them. Avowedly they are recommendations to her MA JESTY to abolish the traffic in opium ; but in reality, they are intended to represent to the nationsbordering on China that England is tributary to the Celestial empire ; and that in the event of hostilities taking place, we are t o b e regar d e d n ot in the dignified ight of enemies, but as rebels and traitors. lAN was aware that no British subject would take charge of his letters, and yet he reported the very reverse of this fact to the EMPEROR, who or dered eopies of them to be dispersed throughout his dominions, and to be made extensively known to the people of Burmah, Ava, Siam, and all the adjoining States. Now, our relations in the East are not of a nature to permit us to over look the danger of allowing such a trick as this to be played upon us, with impunity. It will not do to allow the subjects of our suspicious ally, THOROWA DEE, or even the Court of Bancok, to run away with the impression that Great Britain is tributary to any power on earth. We cannot afford to laugh at such gascona d e i n India, however much it may amuse us in England. The EMPEROR must be taught not only to feel, but to acknowledge that England is not one of the " twelve thousand kingdoms," over which he rao- destly claims to exercise imperial sway. It would be a waste of time and of the public patience to revert, at this stage of the proceedings, to the origin of our quarrel with China, or to in voke public odium upon the Tory scribblers, who, with a meanness disgraceful to the British press, condemn Captain ELLIOT for not having given up a British subject to be murdered to expiate the accidental death of a Chinaman, killed in an affray with some American and English sailors at Hong Kong, on the 7th of July last. The people of England, we are confident, highly approve of the conduct of Captain ELLIOT on that occasion, which was highly creditable to him as a Christian and a British officer. His first act, on learning that a man had been killed in a scuffle, was to offer a reward of 200 dollars, in the QUEEN'S name, for the apprehension of the murderer, if a British subject. He next gave, out of his own pocket, 1,500 dollars to the family of the deceased, to , which he added 400 dollars to protect them from the extortion of the lower Mandarins—leaving it to be supposed by the Chinese villagers that the latter sum was all that the family received. To allay the irritation in the village he distributed a further sum of 100 dolla:s among the poor. And finally he broughtregularly to trial, on board the ship Rut William, at Hong Kong, on the 12th of the following month, five sailors who took part in the affray, and who were found guilty of riot and assault—the Grand Jury having ignored the bills charging them with wilful murder. Had Captain ELLIOT been guilty of the base cruelty of giving up any one of these men to be mur dered by the Chinese—for be it remembered that when life is demanded for life there is no trial whatever—there is not a man, woman, or child in the British Isles worthy of the country which gave him or her birth, by whom he would not have been execrated. This, in fact, is the only transaction in the whole official career of Captain ELLIOT to which we can refer with a really triumphant feel ing ; and long may it be imitated by his successors We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 23d of April. Her MAJESTY'S ship Blonde had then arrived, and carried intelligence from England to February 22. Nothing is said of Rear-Admiral ELLIOT'S having made any prepa rations to leave for India ; but we notice an ad vertisement in one of the Cape Town papers , which indicates that the Melville, his flag-ship, was there on the 22d of April, and was expected to leave. The decision shown by the Chinese makes us regret that our hint, given months ago, to send naval dfficers over-land to India to accelerate the preparations, and, if necessary, take the command of the naval force which might be prepared in India—for that mighty empire of ours has all that is necessary to equip a fleet but seamen and officers —was not adopted. Earl FITZWILLIAM is to bring forward to morrow evening his motion on the Corn-laws, and, alarmed at his noble exertions, all the obscene birds of corruption hasten to drop their dirt on him. The Noble Earl will regard ...heir efforts with perfect contempt; but their sarcasms tell the whole world that they are affected by a very different emotion. The Corn-law men know that they are plunderers, and their hideous screams are intended to terrify the public from approaching their nests. Their cries, however, do but reveal their hoards, and will lead the public to the spots where the plunder is hidden, and where they may recover their property. They do not like, we know, to have their tricks pointed out ; but they must submit, and in spite of their screams forego their prey. Ode of their screams takes this articulate forr3— " Agriculture gives an immense quantity of employ. ment to the people ; but for the Corn-laws the land would go out of cultivation, there would be no em ployment for the agricultural population, and they would fall on the parish to be supported." This assertion implies that the Corn-law supplies employment to the agricultural population. It follows, then, the agricultural population have been well employed and well paid since the Corn laws have passed. But this, the strongest argument of the Pro-Corn-law men, is as easy of refutation as the rest of their screams, whenever they assume an articulate form. That the agricultural population is not disposed to sedition, is vouched for by the whole mob of parsons and country gentlemen, who Boat on their spaniel-like crouching temper, and are never tired of praising their habits of submission. To what distress, then, must they have been driven, when they went stalking through the land in great mul titudes, and made the horizon red with incendiary fires in 1530 ? There was no rebellion amongst the landlords' serfs, except when they followed some noble leaders, from the time of JACK CAPE till after the present Corn-laws were enacted. There were LUDDITE outrages in 1812, and Radical or mob risings in the towns at many prior and subsequent periods ; but it was only when the Corn-laws were in full vigour in 1830 that there was an extensive sedition amongst the agricultural labourers. Is this a proof of the successful working of the blood sucking systeni But what happened after 1830 ? Did the land lords employ the people—could they employ them advantageously ? The Statute Book answers, No. Poor-rates were going a-head, and the new Poor law, passed for the very purpose of relieving the landlords from supporting an idle population, is a complete proof that the Corn-laws had not provided an abundance of employment for the agricultural population. Betwixt 1834 and the present time the degradation of the agricultural population, iu spite of the law which was theoretically recom mended to us as likely to elevate that population, has been continuous, and is now almost complete. Our records are lies, the evidence of the sense is worthy of no credit, if the agricultural labourers of Wiltshire, Somersetshire, Kent, Bucks, &c., be not almost as badly off—worse indeed in proportion to their toil--than the lumper-fed beggars of the sister island. The new Poor-law passed for the behoof of the landowners, and the riots of 1830 prove decisively that the screech about the Corn laws providing employment for labourers, is the off spring of terror, and is not a representation of any facts. But it may be said that there would have been a surplus population, great distress amongst the agriculturists, sedition, and new Poor-laws, though there had been no Corn-law, and that the Corn law has in fact lessened the evils which it could not cure. Admitting that distress would have existed naturally, which, however, is wholly unfounded, to cut short the supply of food, and to enrich the receivers of rent, who spend their in comes in Naples, Florence, Rome, Paris, Greece, London, Cheltenham, and Bath, is about the most absurd—not to call it the maddest —way that ever was found out of giving employment to the rural po pulationsocates of the C orn -l aw assert England. But ButwohfelE.: that there would have been want of employment, a surplus population, and great distress in the agri cultural districts, though it had not existed, we must remind them of the peculiar situation of Eng land. Never was a country so , blessed by Provi dence, and so cursed by mischievous legislation. The kindred of her people, estabWshed in America, THI4I SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 19, 1840. Africa, and New Holland, with a houndless extent of land at their disposal, have pressingly invited every spare hand in England to share their large possessions. The whole commercial world, with which England, by her manufactures and her shipping, stands in close connection►, has been wil ling to supply her wants, and seek from her the supply of their own wants. These are sources of boundless prosperity for England, a demand for her productions absolutely illimitable, as the popu lation of these countries multiplies, and a con venient home for her spare hands. Now the Corn law, by shutting out commerce, has destroyed one source of increase, and by preventing the raw produce of the United States from coming here, has prevented our spare hands from going there to cultivate it. By fixing a price here, which the law could not indeed command, it induced many to stay, expecting to grow rich, who would other wise have emigrated. By checking commercial enterprise, it has prevented our spare hands from finding new homes ; it has checked the habit of leaving the country, and has, therefore, served to create a surplus population, by keeping out food, by keeping in people, and by curtailing the means of employing them in commerce and manufactures. The very surplus population, for which the Corn law is said by its advocates to form a partial remedy, is caused by that most mischievous enactment. The natural sources of national prosperity which we have indicated ought never to be lost sight of in discussing this law. Consistently with them, the prosperity of England ought now to he unexampled. Her enterprise should branch out in all directions, her shipping should increase faster than ever, her manufactories multiply, her imports and exports augment rapidly, her consumption extend, and there should be no difficulty of finding employment. Almost the reverse is the case ; the difficulty of finding employment in every profession is im mense, consumption is checked, imports and exports hardly increase, manufactories do not multiPY, and the indications of prosperity are every where so faint, instead of being plain and certain, that the best informed statisticians dispute whether the country prosper or not. This sad reverse of what nature intends, and what Providence has clearly given us the means of achieving, is caused by the accursed restrictions which selfish, idle, worthless Legislators, have laid on the food and on the enterprise of the industrious classes. Agriculture, in spite of the boastings of the land owners, partakes of the gefseral stagnation. " During the reign of GEORGE III.," says It. MOOR SOU, Esq., in his letter to Mr. CAYLEY, and be fore 1797, when the corn trade was virtually free, there were passed 1,532 Acts of inclosure of waste lands." We doubt whether there have been 100 such Acts passed since 1822, though there are yet many millions of acres lying waste in England. I n t h e present session there are several Bills before Par liament for railroads, docks, harbours, and new companies, connected with mining and other manufacturing speculations ; there is as far as we can learn but one Inclosure Bill. There is an increase of town population. Liverpool, Manchester, Bris tol, Brighton, London, &c., are growing in ex tent ; we believe there is DO tract of any increas:: in the rural population. On the contrary, as far as our individual observation has gone, cottages have in several places been pulled down, and the rural population has diminished ; new methods of cultiva tion have been adopted, which have produced more in proportion to the quantity of labour employed ; and, notwithstanding the Corn-laws, the quantity of agricultural employment, except in parts of Ireland and Scotland, is less, wo believe, than it was, and requires a less number of hands. There is no sign of great enterprise amongst our agricul turists, no new lands have lately been broken up and taken into cultivation, there is no anxiety to introduce and adopt Mr. HEATircoT es steam plough, and this highly protected branch of the national industry—to promote which other branches are stifled, exhibits even fewer signs of vigorous and growing life than either commerce or manu factures. We read, indeed, that great quantities of cattle are brought from the north of Scotland to London, and that farms are consolidating in Ireland, and Yielding the landlords a larger rent. The owners of land in those districts, such as the Duke of RICHMOND and Lord FITZGERALD, no doubt are much enriched by the exclusion of foreign corn, and foreign agricultural produce, of all kinds—for cattle could be as easily importPd from Ostend or Dunkirk as from Aberdeen—and Westphalia hogs from Bremen as well as Irish hogs from Cork ; . and because these and other Peers have a strong pecuniary interest in starving the people, they are most unfit to legislate on this subject. Lord FITZWILLIAM'S motion may by them be negatived, as the Peers have resolved to negative it before they have heard it, ac cording to the Duke of RICHMOND ; but the de cision of such selfish, interested, biased men will not satisfy the community. It may make them more deservedly despised, contemned, and hated by their fellow-creatures than at present, but it wiil leave the question just as it now is. On the same day, Saturday, that we pointed out the schism amongst the Tories, and the worse schism betwen them and their principles, the Times supplied us with an additional illustration of our remarks. Professing, as it always does, a profound veneration for the general opinions and conduct of the Duke of WELLINGTON, it yet said " We can not so far abdicate our own tight to the exercise of an independent judgment as to receive w►th passive acquiescence the dictum that every Englishman oueht to feel himself debarred from questioning the justice of that quarrel into which he has been plunged," &c.; and then the Times went on to express a total difference of opinion from► the Duke concerning the conduct of Captain ELLIOT and the Chinese war. The point it se lected for difference was most unfortunate, and the Times could only make out a case by completely misrepresenting facts. But whether the Duke or the Times be wrong is now of no consequence ; we only wish to make the public aware that these great leaders of the Tories in Parliament and in the press are at variance. As the minim-Herald differs from the feeble commoner, so the pike- Times differs from the great and powerful Duke ; and when these differences exist between the jour nals and the chiefs, the public are well aware that the same differences exist between the chiefs and their followers. The Tories may be strong enough and united enough, by their desire to get office, to prevent the Ministers from successfully carrying on the Go vernment ; but they are neither strong enough nor united enough to form and successfully carry on the Government themselves. Their efforts, therefore, to thwart the Ministers and overthrow them can only tend to weaken and destroy the State. They cannot establish a Government, and they are so lost to all sense of decency that the Times is angry with the Duke of WELLINGTON because he is not in clined to forget what is due to the honour of his country, and go all lengths with STA Nr.r,Y, GRAHAM, PEEL, the Times, the Herald, and Co., in their factious attempt to destroy the ex isting Government. The hypocrisy and impudence of the Non-in trusionist law-breakers in Scotland are perhaps t without a parallel in the history of priestcraft; they cry out for the full enforcement of Cie Ve: , l Act, in o:der, as they say, that the ChriA an flocks may have the choice of their pasi.ors, and at the same time narrow the franchise to such an extent that the election falls into the hands of five or ten of the most canting, backbiting hypocrites of the parish. We have occasionally pointed out cases in which the clergyniao, to serve his own purposes, Las re fused the privilege of communio❑ to many of the most respectable parishioners, thereby limiting the number of electors to a small manageable number. One of the grossest instances of this disfranchising, rotten-church system was accidentally [nought before the public at a meeting of the Commission of Assembly at Edinburgh last week, and in order that our readers may judge how truly we have described the deplorable condition to which these designing men have reduced this hitherto re vered and useful Church Establishment, we will give the facts as stated by one of the law breakers. Dr. NITA R LA N said " the case of Daviot presented the most unfavourable view of the Veto Act which had ever come before them. That in a population of eighteen hundred or two thousand souls, there should be only ten heads of families communi cants, was a state of things which afforded ample room for caballing, or prejudicing the minds of these few against a presentee." Only ten righteous in t'wo thousand, or one in two hundred I Why the place must be as bad as Sodom and Gomorrah, or they are treated by their clerical oppressors as no Christian people were ever treated before. Out of this number at least eight hundred must he by age fit to become com municants, yet all except the ten righteous are de barrcd' from the table of the LORD. Could there be a better proof of the deplorable mischief which these madmen, if left to themselves, would inflict on the Kirk ? Yet, notwithstanding this, the chief rebel demanded of the Government but the other day, that his party should not only be allowed to exer cise their Spiritual power uncontrolled, but that they should be put in possession of uncon trolled power over the temporalities of the Church ? We praised the Government for exercising sound discretion in)eaving the Destructivcs to themselves, and in not interfering with the patronage question ; but it is now evident something must be done to stay the plague, and prevent the ruin of a Church so long the honour and the blessing of Scotland. Parishioners of irreproachable character, at the caprice of the minister, arc refused communion, others disgusted with the spiritual tyranny under which they suffer, are leaving the Kirk and joining Episcopalians and Dissenters. The favoured few who remain are caballing for the appointment of one candidate or another—the different presbyteries are engaged in one continued scene of strife—the Supreme Ecclesiastical Court sets them the example by an annual grand battle which it prolongs in the shape of skirmishes in the Commission for the rest of the year, and while all these things are going on these ministers of peace are inciting those under their authority to disobey the law, and at the same time sanctioning measures for robbing the Christian people of those very privileges which they hypocritically claim for them. The inha bitants of Scotland cannot long be deceived. We have good reason to believe that re-action has com menced in good earnest, and that if half a score of the firebrands and law breakers were sent to prison for resisting lawful authority, all except, perhaps, the righteous decemviri of Daviot and their com peers, would rejoice at their condign punishment. The parsons are in arms against the decision of the. Court of Queen's Bench in the celebrated ' Braintree case. A writ of error has been brought. for the purpose of getting that judgtnent reversed, if possible. It will be seen by a document inserted elsewhere that the bail put in upon the writ are no less personages than the Venerable HUGH CHAM BERS JONES, Archdeacon of Essex, and the equally Venerable WILLIAM HA LE BALE, Arch deaccn of St, Alban's. We are not sorry for this —it will set one important point in Church-rate law at rest for ever. We only regret that other material points were not included in the issue. It will be seen by the Report inserted in another column, that the Court of Queen's Bench hav e given a decision in a tithe cause, which at last establidies a principle in the rating of that species of property. The clergy, it is well known, have laboured hard to escape from the grievance of pay ing their just proportion of the expense incurred for the maintenance of the poor. In acting thus they have acted strictly in character. The spiritual pastors, the ministers of the "poor man's Church,'' fiist seize upon the portion of .the tithes set apart for the support Of the poor, first rob the poor of their property, and then deny that the property so usurped is liable to the burdens which fall upon the property of men more humane than themselves. Every artifice which a jesuitical ingenuity can suggest, they have practised to get large deductions allowed them. Among these the most shameless was the low value at , ivhich they estimated their tithes, before the Commutation Act was passed. That Act, however, brought them to book. There was no possibility of evading the pounds•shil hugs-and-pence argument of the rent-charge ; and accordingly, they have had t , .eir rates raised to s:omething like a fair itmount. In the case in which Lord DENMAN gave judg ment on Monday, the Vicar of Watford had ap pealed against a decision of the Quarter Sessions, by which a rate on his tithes had been confirmed. Those tiiJies had been commuted at 660/., and the Rev. Gentleman had been rated only at 510/., 120 pounds having been allowed for the expense of collection—an ample deduction in all con science. Ample, however, as it was, it did not satisfy the Vicar's cupidity. He must have a larger deduction—for what reason does not ap pear, except it be that tithe, being almost all clear profit to th e owner , oug h t t o have a peculiar ex emption. L or d D ENM A s, in giving judgm ent , said that equality was the great principle of rating, and, as th a t p r i nc i p l e h a d been acted upon in this case, he discharged the rule. It affords us pleasure to be able to give an unanswer able contradicti on to t h e insidious reports of Russian agents in Greece, res pecting the unpopularity of his Excellency Slr HOW A RD DOUGLAS , Lord Hi g h Com missioner of the lonian Islands.

On the question being put, the law was rejected by a majority of 41 to 11.--Journal de la Haye, June 3. THE HAGUE, JUNE 9.—The Stoats Courant for this date promulgates the two projects of law sanctioned by the King for the budget of the year 1840, by the first of which the expenditure is fixed at flo. 51,727,215.

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MAY 28.—The accounts from the Black Sea contradict the statements from these quar ters, that the whole of the Caucasian coast is again in the power of the Mountaineers ; ~neither the forts Soudjuk Kali, nor Nicholas, are in their hands, nor do they extend their excursions to Attains.' Troops were embarked at thicssa and SAastrpol, but their destination was not ex actly known. It is reported that a large part of the Russian Southern Army is going to the Danubc—namely to the country about the Sulina mouth or that river. It is not improbable that the discontent now prevailing at Adrianople and other parts of the Turkish Empire, may have given occa sion to this measure, There is a prospect of a good harvest in Poland; the prices are satisfactory to the farmer, and likely to remain so, as the lost crop in Russia was, in general, very scanty.

The Paris Journals of Monday contain no foreign or domestic news of interest. They publish the parti culars of the siege and surrender of Morella, but they differ so little from the accounts which have already ap peared in our• columns, that we shall not repeat them. The number of Carlist prisoners was 300, and it appears that the garrison held out as long as it was possible for them to resist the QUEEN'S troops. Indeed ESPAR TEno found the town in one mass of ruins, and the castle a mere heap of rubbish from the explosion of the pow der magazine. MORELLA was taken en the 30th, and on the same day General ZURBANO arrived with 30 prisoners, whom he presented to ESPARTERO, with the scarf of the Carlist chief FORCADELL, whom he had de feated and killed on the previous day. Le!.tets from Bayonne of the 4th published in the Paris Journals of Monday, bring the following intelli gence : Slim; the taking of Morella, the Viceroy of Navarre de spatched upwards of 20 cour:crs to the different corps can toned in the northern provinces. The brigade which oc cupied the Bastan immediately set out for the Kilma, and all the forces which could be dispensed with at Vittoria were marched to the Ebro. These movements wei e occa sioned by the approach of Balmaseda, who, having left part of his troops in the provinces of Cuenca and Guadalajara, had rapidly advanced upon Reynosa, at the head of eight batalions and 800 cavalry. It was believed that he in tended crossinc, the Ebro near its source, an d en t er i ng Biscay by th e ' Encartaciones. On the other hand, Cab rera was said to be marching across Upper Arra,gon, to- wards Navarre. MADMD. —il° Madrid mail of the Ist instant is over due; that of the 31it ult. was delayed by the presence of the Carlist chief Balmaseda on the Burgos road. Madrid papers of the 31st ult. make no mention of the precise period of the royal tour, which will probably de pend 'lron instructions from the Duke of Victoria. The Munkipality Bill was still under discussion in the Cham ber of Deputies._ The Madrid Gazette of the 31st contains a royal de. cree, creating a junta of qualification of the rights of civi employes, and suppressing the Committee of 11.1inisteria pensions, of public offices, and that of the classification o clerks. SPAIN. The report on the frontier is that the Queen is to arrive at Barcelona on the 6th ; and Segarra, as well as other Members of the Junta of Bergara, intend to send in their submission. Th.! accounts from Perpignan, of 2d June, say that the Carlibts in Catalonia are in a state of confusion, which is increased by the announcement of the speedy arrival of the army of the Duke of Victory. The greatest fermenta tion prevails at Berga, the teat of the Juntas. Part of the inhabitants are preparing to leave town as soon as possible. Segsr:a, who consented to rrsumo the command of the Carlist troops only on the earnest intreaties of the Junta, after the death of Llarch de Copons, Lever leaves his house, and it is thought he is ill; others say he pretends to be so.

They say that nothing but personal motives could dictate such continued rancour ; they remark that tho Alder man is 4n attorney, and they infer, that on some occa sion the w r i ter i n t h e Ti mes has been his client ; and a s clients have generally a great dislike of their attorneys, particul ar l y if unsuccessful, they infer th a t M r. Alderman Harmer has not succeeded for his client of the Times.

The MASTER of the ROLLS gave jud g ment in this case, which was argued on Satu r d ay l ast, and which came before the Court upon exceptions to the Master's Report. • The facts of the case were these:—ls 1815 the plain tiff, Harriett Robertson, then Harriett Bourchier, the widow of a civil servant of the East India Company, belonging to the presidency of Bombay, became entitled to a pension during her widowhood cut of the Bombay Civil Fund. On the sth of June, 1828, it was resolved by the sub scribers to the fund, theit the pension enjoyed by the widow of any member should not be discontinued on her being married. On this resolution being communicated to Mrs. Robertson, she stated 't was her intention to avail herself of it, and she sent to the defendant, the agent of the trus tees of the fund, a copy of a certificate or marriage b.:- tween the plaint'ffs, Captain and Mrs. Robertson, on the s'll March 1536; and in the same paper the parties were stated to have been re-matried, having been pre viously irregularly married. This reference to a prior marriage, stated to be irregular, induced the trusters of the fund to inquire when such previ;,:us marriage took place. If it took place previous to the stli of June, 1828, the pension payable to Mrs. Bourchier during her widow hood ceased. Na satisfactory answer being given to the inquiries made by the trustees, they continued to refuse payment. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson then filed their bill against the trustees to comps! payment, and, on the cause coining before the Court, a reference was directed to the Master to inquire whether a valid marriage was contracted previous to the sth of June, 1828, The Master found there was not, and the question now came before the Court upon exceptions taken by the trustees to the Master's Report. Nis LORDSHIP observed that if a marriage took place on the sth of March, 1830, the circumstances under which it did take place had been greatly misrepresented by Mr. and Mrs. Robertson, and the certificate of marriage ap peared to have been a mere invention. The sanction of an oath to so gross a fiction as that appeared to his Lordship to have been, necessarily injured the cr e dit o f th e gu il ty parties. It appeared t o his Lordship that Mr. and Mrs. Robertson formed an illicit connection, and went to Scot land in 1818 or 1819; that they cohabited there, and per. mitted themselves to be called" Mr. and Mrs. Robertson," and were by several persons considered to be married, but that Mrs. Robertson half-yearly made a solemn declaration that she was not married ; and their conduct was so equi vocal that though some persons there considered them to to be married, several considered them not to be married. From the beginning of this connection, Mr. and Mrs. Ro bertson is ere desirous of preserving the pension which was payable only to her during her widowhood—they were also desirous of preserving their reputation. Widow hood was the title of the pensionmarriage was the title to respect in society. There could be only a title to one, the parties desired to have both, and so, whatever the fact was, there was constant misrepresentation. To the de fendants there was a periodical declaration of widowhood, in the society in which they lived there was an appearance of marriage. It was in the midst of that miserable equi vocation and degrading deception that his Lordship had had to collect the evidence to ascertain, if possible, the r, al fact, and on the whole he thought the evidence preponde rated in favour of the master's finding. It seemed to him more probable that persons who had a strong desire to preserve the pension, and whose notions of virtue arid mo rality d d not preserve them from the illicit connexion they formed, would trust to such contingencies as circum stances afforded for acquiring and maintaining, with.ut just title, some respect in society, than that they would act virtuously and morally in their personal connexion. Oa the whole, his Lordship thought the evidence showed that though the parties . cohabited in such a manner as to create a repute, by which marriage might be in inferred, they did so fur appearance only, and without any notion that a marriage was established. The opinion his Lordship had read, with the consent of the parties, informed him that mere appearance in the world and ha. bit and repute would not make a marriage by the law of Scotland, if it could be considered a contract of marriage had not been formed between the parties. Considering the mode in which the connection between the parties was formed—the notions of morality which they appeared to have entertained—their interest to preserve the pension— the equivocal circumstances under which they appeared in Scotland to several persons who had made affidavits—and the periodical declarations made en oa:h by Mrs. Robert son, which would expose her to punishment if false, his Lordship thought the title to the money was that which they preserved valid, and that they were content to rest upon appearances only for any claim for consideration in society. Their whole life seemed to have been passed with the view of maintaining an appearance in society without losing their title to the pension.• It could hardly be doubted that when the certificate of the sth March, 18: 1 0, was fabricated, the expressions that bad given rise to this litigation were inserted with a view to persuade some persons there had been a marriage during the whole time of cohabitation. Nothing could be said in any way to excuse or palliate the conduct Mr. and Mrs. Robertson had pursued ; but it was his Lordship's duty to adjudicate on the civil rights of the parties, and he thought the Master had rightly determined the parties were not married before the sth of June, 1838. The except;on was therefore overruled, but withou costs. The trustees to take back their deposit, and ti have their costs as between party and party. COURT OF QUEEN's BENCH. (TIII~ DAY.) (Sittings tn 13anco.) THE QUEEN V. TILE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case a manc'a mus had been obtained, calling upon the Eastern Counties Railway Company to finish their railway, and carry it on to Norwich and Yarmouth, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Par liament. On the faith of its being so continued,. several inhabitants a Norwich and other parts of the county of Norfolk had become subscribers to the railway, but the Company had d e t erm i ne d t h at t h ey would not carry their railroad be;ond Colchester, in Es sex. The return to the mandamus set out as a reason for not completing the railroad on to Norwich, that they only had 9,8921. in band, a sum totally inadequate to purchase the property necessary for the comeletion of the railroad. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL agreed that this was not a good return to the mandamus, and that a peremptory mandamus must issue to compel them to complete the work. It did not lie in the Company's mouth to say that their funds were not sufficient. They had a ba lance of their capital of 1,600,0001. to be raised yet, and they bad, morever, a power of bor rowing 533,0001. on mortgage. Having this power, how could they say they had not funds sufficient to complete the work, when they had not raised one-half the money they had the power of raising. Even if the return had been that they had expended all the money they had the power of raising they were bound to complete the railway, and not to break their contract with the public. Sir W. Foeeete contended that the return was a good return. The Company had no means of raising money which they had net before raised, and then rn,king the mandamus absolute would only be raising greater ob stacles to the raising the money. The mandamus, if made peremptory, would call upon the Company to com plete the railroad, whether they had funds to enable them to do so or not. Could a mandamus compel people to subscribe ? In all Acts of this description, certain parties were authorised to make the road ; but the Act was not Imperative on them to do so. The return was in substance that the money in hand, together with the whole of the money they were entitled to raise, would be insufficient to complete the railroad. How, then, could the Learned Attorney-General contend that it did not lie with them to say that the funds were insufficient? He contended that they were perfectly competent to abandon the line without an Act of Parliament, and quoted the Act of the Company in support of his views. If the Act were imperative, an indictment would lie against the Company, but he submitted that the Act was not imperative, and was never intended by the Le gislature to be so. The parties were bound only to pay the money they had subscribed, whereas if this mandamus were made absolute, they would be bound to pay all such further sums as might be necessary to com plete the work. They were merely empowered, not com manded. to undertake the railway. With regard to the power of borrowing, the Legislature had restricted that to the sum of 533,000/., and they would be doing an illegal act if they attempted to borrow more. By a section of the Act it was enacted, that if the Company did not purchase the land necessary for the railroad, before the expiration of two years, that then the compulsory powers should cease. Now, it could never be contended that it was imperative on the Company to complete the road when any proprietor of the land might prevent them. It was true that the Legislature had subsequently enlarged the period, but it' the Legislature had not done so, would the Court have granted the mandamus? Their Lordships, if they grlnted a mandamus, would be proceeding upon to tally different grounda to the Court of Chancery f or if the Lord-Chancellor were; Elatisge4 that any Company had not sufficient funds to complete their works the Lord Chancellor would issue his injunction to prevent their proceeding with them. Their Lordships could not grant this mandamus. The Learned Gentleman quoted in support of his opinion the case of the King v. the Br mingham Navigation Company, in Blackstone's Reports, in which, under circumstances nearly similar, the Court had refused a mandamus, lie ther e f ore sub mitted th at t h ese part i es had a right to exercise their discretion as to the completion of their works, and as he had shown that they had it not in their power to do it, he submitted the (~;otirt ele:d not issue the num damus. The mandamus itself was defective, as it did not recite that the moneys had been paid up, nor set forth that any unreasonable delay had taken place, and he sub mitted it must be quaelied Nppn its iestifficie.ecy, and he submitted, moreover, that the return to the mindal us was a comic:to ,iuswer to it. Cau.Ev. UT, in the absence of the Attorney- Genc ral, rep'ied, and contended that tt Act tans not perm 4., sive but imperative, that it in fact said to the Company you ii;ugt either take all or leave all.
