Summonses were issued yesterday to the Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council, at the Foreign-oftlce, Downing-street. Three o'clock this afternoon was the time appointed, and all the Ministers were ex pected to attend. The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. On the motion for bringing up the report on the Destitute Persons (Ireland) Bill, The Earl of ELLENDOROUGU said he viewed the mea sure with great distrust. HQ almost despaired as to the future state of Ireland. He doubted whether the land lords of Ireland would avail themselves of the Govern ment offer. The Marquis of LANsnowNE had no doubt but that they would do so, and that the system of working would be made " %stet. tight." He proposed to take the third reading on Monday. The report was then received. Lord BEAUMONT asked whether any correspondence had taken place with the Portuguese Government re specting the persecution to which Count Bomrxst and his companions had been subjected. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that representations had been made to the Portuguese Government on the subject by the Ambassadors of England, France, and Belgium, and that he entertained a confident hope that the prisoners would be sent to a less unhealthy climate than Angola. Our object in sending a force to Portugal had been, not to interfere in the contest, but to protect British interests ; but it would be there to give protection to the QUEEN if she rewired it. It was not their intention at present to interfere, but if Dom DIIGuEL, or a party acting for him, were to interfere, a new state of things would arise which would revive for- mer treaties. The Earl of ABERDEEN objected to the presence o such a large fume in the Tagus, as appearing to counte• nance the insurrection. The Marquis of LANSVOWNIII defied any one to point out a single instance in which they had countenanced the insurrection. False ruinaurs prevailed on both sides. He would not pronounce any opinion on the dis sensions at present existing in Portugal, but no instruc tions had been sent out either to the Admiral or the Envoy which had not for their object the preservation of a perfect impartiality between the contending parties. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII considered that the pre sent Government in Portugal had violated every princi ple of constitutional liberty. The representations made to them were a mere farce, and that, if it had been un derstood that, in the event of Admiral PARKER'S repre sentations being disregarded, the British fleet would leave the Tagus, either these representations would have been attended to, or the QUEEN would at this moment have met Dom MIGUEL in London, while the victorious troops of the Junta would have marched as they had done before from Oporto to Lisbon. Lord Baoucilitat then presented a petition from Liverpool, praying for the amendment of the cri minal law as regarded juvenile offenders, and con cluded an eloquent speech, replete with statistics on the subject of juvenile criminality, by giving notice that he should, on a early day, move for a Select Committee of Inquiry on the subject. The Duke o: RICHMOND would support a motion for a Committee of Inquiry. Earl GREY said that 11 - ,e Government intended shortly to bring forward a measure bearing especially upon ju venile offenders. Among other measures they proposed to establish a penal school for offenders, and to which vagrants might:also be sent. The subject of transportation was under the consideration of the Government ; and the measure to be proposed went as far almost as the abolition of that punishment. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, the subject dropped. Ca tain papers were then laid on the table, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock, but there not being forty Members present, the House adjourned until t• -morrow (this day). What is expended in the prosecution and punish ment of offenders would go far to reform the more neglected portions of the community. The accuracy of this estimate has become so universally obvious as to have originated a very powerful movement in behalf of the most despised and degenerated members of the population. We are satisfied that a continu- ante of the exertions which have been already com menced with these benevolent intentions is alone re quisite to purge from society a vast and horrible mul titude of evils, to render the lamentable duties of correction in our criminal courts, and penitentiaries, and prisons, and penal settlements less frequent and less onerous, to reclaim many thousands who have been hitherto regarded as irreclaimable, and to in crease the aggregate of prosperity and happiness of the United Kingdoms by increasing the num ber of the honest and industrious. All that is necessary for the realisation of these inestimable advantages is perseverance on the part of those philanthropic individuals who have undertaken the advocacy of the dregs of the million. Their cry is not that sublime admonition which has been repeated and repeated until it has resolved itself into a proverb—their appeal is not so much Fiat justitia, real ad:lm, as it is " Act with justice towards these miserable outcasts, because their sobriety and enlightenment are directly associated with your own well-being and safety !" There is an innate eloquence and persuasiveness in these adjurations which must perforce in the end prove irresistible. The entreaties which are rising from the very poor, the very lowly, and the very villanous, are appeals which strike at once upon our reason and upon our religious sym and i n t ereste d sentiments. In the the disin re te c r la es tn te a c! Patties- They speak to tion of a large concourse of vicious characters, we perceive simultaneously the blessings which must necessarily ac crue to them and the benefits which must be conferred upon reclama tion. We recognise the tri p l e adva n t ages w hi c h must be the indubitable consequence of the ref • ormati our criminal code—the ad van t age s on of branching off to THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1847. the State, to the individual, and to the community en masse. It is this consideration which has recently gained so many proselytes to the efforts now made for the instruction and assistance of the juvenile offenders—efforts which are substantially visible in the elaborate reports on the subject transmitted by the Prison Inspectors to the Right Hon. the Secretary for the Home Department ; in the exertions respec tively made by ➢ir. HILL, the Recorder of Birming ham, and Mr. CHARLES PEA.RSON, the Solicitor to the city of London; in the reiterated supplications of the sufferers themselves, and especially in those admirable establishments which have sprung up in different quarters of the metropolis—the ragged schools and the reformatory institutions. Lord BROUGHAM, last evening, formally introduced the matter to the attention of the Upper House, and the Noble Lord did so with an emphasis and an earnestness peculiarly in accordance with the fame acquired by the labours of his illustrious youth. The manner in which the question of the punishment of juvenile offenders was laid before their Lordships was such as to ensure its impartial consideration by the Legislature. Both the respectability of the peti tioners, for whom L9rd BROUGHAM spoke so energe tically and feelingly, and the appalling nature of the calculations contained in that petition, necessitate a rigid scrutiny on the part of the legislators ; and, beyond that, the eminence of the man who laid that petition on the table of that Right Honourable House, the eminence he has so justly acquired by the devotion of his splendid abilities to the good of the people and the dissemination of knowledge, ren dered that prayer for the vigilance and generosity of the Legislature singularly forcible and effective. For the arguments of the Noble Lord in favour of some comprehensive reconsideration of the system at present pursued with reference to criminals in this country, we refer to our report of the Parliamentary discussions. Those arguments•- would of themselves be sufficient to testify the urgency of the case and the extreme feasibility of the plan proposed for the improvement of society, namely, the systematic educa tion of the class from which those juvenile offenders proceed, and the gradual diminution of our prisons and penitentiaries. At the same time Lord BROUGHAM availed himself of the opportunity pre sented by the occasion of indignantly repudiating the insinuations which have been continually levelled at himself through certain indirect aspersions upon the memorable Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, which arose and flourished under his Lordship's auspices. " While I am," said the Noble Lord, " as is well known, the warm friend of educa tion, there is no inconsistency in my saying that unless education have a moral and religious direction, it is to me a matter of considerable doubt whether to be able merely to read is not productive of more harm than good 1" The combination of moral and miscellaneous tuition is what is especially advocated by Lord BROUGHAM and all the other la bourers in that vineyard of charity. Having now been immediately introduced to the notice of the Upper House of Parliament, and introduced, more over, by Lord BROUGHAM, we are sanguine that the salutary interest felt towards the juvenile offenders in the realm may not subside until their condition has been materially ameliorated. The Galway election now absorbs all the attention that can be spared from the heart-rending scenes of misery and destitution which are daily occurring in Ireland. The candidates are nearly neck and neck, the last authentic account of the position of the parties at the close of the second day (Monday), showing a majority of five for the Government candidate, the numbers on the gross poll being— For the SOLICITOR-GENERAL 4BO For Mr. OTLAHERTY 475 showing that no less than 955 had polled during the two first days, out of a constituency of little more than 1,200. The election will, however, probably be protracted to the utmost limit permitted by the law ; which, in Ireland, strange to say, considers five days' polling as necessary to enable even the smallest con stituencies to declare their sentiments, while in England it has been found that a far greater number of electors can give their votes in a single day, and that the locality can be spared from the bustle, con fusion, and all the demoralising influences made use of during the continuance of a contest for its repre sentation. *Vhatjust reason can be assigned for this difference? If the beneficial effect of the shortening the period allowed for bringing the electors to the poll in England is universally admitted, which we believe to be the case, why should not its advantages be extended to Ireland also, where the popular pas sions are more easily excited, where bribery and corruption, rioting and disturbance, falsehoods and forgeries, improper and undue interference with, personal violence to, and even kidnapping of, •voters, are' habitually resorted to for the purpose of altering the result ? In that country there would be a far greater necessity for such a change, which would go far to preserve the peace of the districts, and to make the return a legitimate one, duly representing the wishes and feelings of the majority of the electors. Whatever may be the result of the present contest, we sincerely trust that the attentim of the Legisla ture may be directed to the evil, and that the mode of conducting contested elections in Ireland may, during the present session, be assimilated to that now in force in England. Should this be the case, the whole of that kingdom will be preserved from scenes of disturbance and outrage that will otherwise most certainly take place during the next general elec tion, the period for which cannot be long post- poned. If ever there was a. time when all classes and all parties should have been unanimous in favour of any candidate brought forward under the Ministerial auspices, one of the law officers of the Crown in Ireland, whose especial duty it would be to bring forward and conduct through Parliament the various measures necessary for facilitating the sale of encumbered estates, for improving the law of land lord and tenant, and the various other subjects that have already been decided on, or stated to be under the consideration of the Government with respect to that country—it is the present. 'All parties appear to have acknowledged the anxious desire of the Go vernment for the present relief and assistance, and the ultimate amelioration and regeneration of Ire land, the vast importance of the numerous and complicated enactments that must be pa , sed through the Senate, and the absolute necessity that a person, thoroughly acquainted with the present state of the law, and the changes and alterations therein, which may be rendered necessary to meet the exigencies of the country, and to effectuate the intentions of the Le gislature, should have a seat in the House of Com mons. But it is not merely his official rank or sta tion, or his connexion with the Government, that constitute p t r h o e f e claims t o h f e gMionoNaor the. gr A ea n t at z i i v ia e jo o . f rity of its inhabitants, he has ever maintained the highest character for ability and integrity. From the time when he terminated his collegiate career, by gaining the highest university honour obtainable by a Roman Catholic—the science gold medal, he distil). guished himself on every occasion that presented itself. To such a man opportunities were not long wanting ; he started into almost immediate practice as a barrister, and won golden opinions from all who happened to be in any degree connected with him. To a sound, thorough, and practical knowledge of his profession in all its details, he added the most un wearied industry and anxious desire for the interests of his clients, but that zeal never betrayed him into the slightest deception ; his acknowledged good faith commanded the respect, while his courtesy and good temper, his admirable manner, gained him the good-will, not merely of the court, but of all who were in any degree connected with him: while the young barrister ever rejoiced to see the name of MONAHAN associated with his own on the brief, as he was then sure of the kindest attention from his leader, and that he would obtain all the cre dit to which he was fairly entitled in the con duct of the case. It is not surprising, therefore, that such a man should have attained the highest degree of popularity in every quarter ; and polities apart, there is scarcely a perion who could come forward in any part of Ireland with a greater prospect of a favourable reception, and yet we find that in his native county he is pressed to the utmost by a man comparatively unknown, who pos- sibly may be a respectable county gentleman, but who certainly possesses no such claims as those of Mr. Moruauri to the suffrages of the people. This is not the time that Ireland, should show its dislike to the British connexion, or offer any discouragement to A Government actuated by such kindly feelings towards it. We trust, ere long, to announce the triumphant return of Mr. MoNAHAN, and that Galway has been spared the disgrace of rejecting such a man, solely on account of his not giving in his adhesion to an impracticable project, and joining in the agita tation for the separation of the ties by which the countries are united and cemented together. The permanent improvement of Ireland must be looked for in the judicious development of her agri cultural resources. Agriculture is the grand basis of all national prosperity. The wealth of every country always springs from the proper cultivation of its soil. After the art of husbandry has been sue.• cessfully prosecuted for a considerable period in any state, then, and not till then, do manufactures, and the other legitimate offshoots of a prosperous system of tillage, engage the . attention of an industrious and enterprising people. In most countries where the attempt has been made to establish manufactures before the pursuits of agriculture have so far pro gressed as to have placed at the command of the chief proprietors of the land a reasonable redundancy of wealth, it has generally signally failed. Ire land herself, at various times, and in nume rous instances, has afforded striking proofs of the truth of this proposition. The great bane of that country is, that, owing to different causes, agri culture has never been placed upo n a soun d b as i s by the Irish. This is a singular anomaly, consider ing Ireland's proximity to England and Scotland, where the ploughshare has yielded such comparative abundance. The length of time, too, that the Emerald Isle has been incorporated with the sister kingdoms renders the anomaly still greater. The vast difference between the landed products of the latter, contrasted with those of the former, may be, in some measure, accounted for by a consideration of the distinct characteristics of the races ; but, for the most part, it will be found, on due reflection, that the agrarian customs and habits of the Emerald Isle are so oppose d in their main features to those of their neighbours, as very readily to solve the social enigma. Parliament being on the eve of legislating, with the view of regenerating Ireland, chiefly by ministering, so far as human laws can avail, to the development of her agricultural resources, and especially by the re clamation of her waste lands, it would appear to be both wise and expedient to mould the law as much as possible in conformity with what has long and successfully prevailed in this coun try. The two most obvious points that demand the strictest attention for securing to the Irish the like prosperity enjoyed by Great Britain are, the nature of the tenure by which farms shall be held, and the size, minimum and maximum, of which the same shall, upon the average, consist. Touching the latter, we have before declared our conviction that their division into not less than twenty-five nor more than fifty acres, is too limited for the object which the Government should be anxious to compass, the creation of an independent body of yeomanry, to become the permanent employers of labour. We remain of the same opinion. Whatever may be said of the mini mum, it would be clearly disadvantageous to limit the maximum, as suggested by the Ministers. Many circumstances, as, for instance, the quality of the soil, the course of cropping, and the contiguity of markets, might render fifty acres a very eligible size for a farm ; whereas other circumstances might dishearten an enterprising capitalist, and preclude him from the chances of profitable husbandry, if he were to find himself incapacitated from holding land exceeding in its average the maximum in question. A comparison of the advantages derivable from dif ferent tenures, in order to determine which should be favoured in connexion with the Government scheme for redeeming the waste lands Of Ireland, forms too important a topic to be hastily scanned. We shall therefore, revert to this subject on another occasion. By the Levant mail we have received Malta journals of the 6th inst., Constantinople journals to the 27th ult., rind Athens journals to the 30th ult. The Turkish Government is still pursuing its measures of reform. A commission of Turkish literati has been appointed to compile a Turkish grammar and dictionary. The Malta journals express alarm at the small quantity of corn in the island, which does not exceed twenty days' supply. The Greek journals contain no intelligence. Madrid papers of the 11th have arrived. IThe Gaceta publishes the following letter from the I Minister of Commerce to the Political Chief of Malaga, in reply to the representations of the Junta of that city, on the subject of the Flores' expedition:— " The expedition against the Equator, projectel by General Flores, so far from having ever obtained the support of the Goverment, was blamed by it as soon as it became aware of its existence. The Government, after having dissolved the depots, prevented, as I am officially informed, all succours from reaching the getters-up of the enterprise, and gave or ders to the authorities to oppose a project which was neither conformable to the interests of the nation nor to the good re lations that it desires to maintain with the new states of America. Not only has it made these ami ca bl e di spositions known to the American republics which h ave b een recog nised eitherec o g t n o is oetillr, by addressing communi cations a gen t a b road, by her Majesty Que en Isabella 11., but al so to t h ose or to the representatives o f t hose republics at Mad r id, P ar i s, and London. To act thus was to act in accord ance w i th the gererous sentiments of the Spanish nati on , w i th the frank e ness and honour that it has always shown in th e o b servance that haN to ' thatnot yet been effect, of treaties, and with the noble desire that animates it to render more intimate the relations with all the countries that respect its flag and its name. This conduct being justly ap preciated, there is no reason for alarm and disquietude being kept up with respect to an event, which, prevented in time, has not teen able to alter in any respect the fraternity of the Spanish Government with the republics of America. Coin • merce and naulgation, of which the Government does not l ose s i g ht, are secure, and cannot suffer from an incident, the effects of which the Government has been able to set aside. Her Majesty t h e Queen orders me to inform you of this, in order that you may take measures to calm the fears of the Junta of Malaga, and of all other persons. God keep you." In the Chamber of Deputies, Senor SEGASTI called on the Government to present to the Chamber the Act of Succession of FERDINAND VII, and the marriage con tracts of the QUEEN and her sister. The Minister of Justice declined saying anything on the subject at present. It is said by the Herald° That an army of observation is to be assembled on the frontiers of Portugal, the com mand of which is to be given either to General JOSE DE LA CONCHA or to General SANZ. MADRID BOLSA, FEB. 11.—The Three per Cents, were 32 buyers, 3 9 * sellers; Five per Cents., 201 buyers, gellers; Passive Debt, G buyers, 1 sellers; Coupons, 19 buyer, 191 sellers. We have received those of the Paris papers of Wed nesday which were published on that day, but, as Shrove Tuesday is always kept as a holiday, several of the papers, including the Conslitutionnel, the Siecle, and the Epoque, were not published on Wednesday. The Journal des Debuts publishes in leader type, and with all appliances to direct to it the special attention of the reader, the following announcement: — "A letter from London, of the 14th of February, says—`Yesterday the Count ST• AULAIRE, the Ambas sador of France, had the honour of dining with her Ma . jesty the QUEEN. Their Boy al Highnesses Prince ALBERT and the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, were present at the dinner, as was the Earl of CLAREN DON. On quitting the palace, the Count ST. AULAIRE went to Lord PALMERSTON'S soiree." This announcement, so made, was considered in Paris as an indication that, at least, the personal misunder standings between the two Governments were at an end, and it was rumoured that M. GUIZOT would take an early opportunity of explaining away in the Chambers those portions of his late speech which had given such just ground of offence to the Marquis of NORMANBY. The Prince DE JOINVILLE is about to proceed to Toulon to take the command of the squadron fitting out there, which will, it is said, visit the French colonial possessions. _ . M. MARTIN (du Nord) has returned to Paris, but with his health in such a shatOred state that he is unable to resume his Ministerial duties. _ _ Don ENRIQUE arrived at Toulon on the 14th. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, the Mi nister of Finance presented a Bill authorising the Bank of France to issue notes of 250 f., and another regulating the Transatlantic steam-packets. A letter from Marseilles of the I lth says— terier.. are, beside s , in the- quarantine ports of Po " There i s a t thi s momen t i:1 our city more than 600,000 hectolitres of grain, which are da!ly being sent to the in- Theremegue and Frioal, in free pratiquc, from 170 to 180 vessels, waiting their turn of admission and unloading in the port of Marseilles " The imports of grain and flour into the French ports from July 1 to Dec. 31, 1846, amounted to 2 ,542,220 hectolitres. In the month of January they were 7 16,925, giving a total of 3,259,154, of which 2,437,068 entered by the Mediterranean, 616,795 by the Atlantic, and 205,301 by land.

Shares were very quiet again. _ _ _ The — position of Southampton as a shipping port is acquir ing daily more importance, and the railway is likely to work some further important changes in the course of our foreign trade ere long. It appears that the docks formed there are becoming inadequate to the accommodation of the shipping, and that the increase in the amount of tonnage entered is immense, viz., from 158,680 tons in 1845, to 228,777 tons in 1846. Arrangements have been made with Government for the erection on the company's lands of a custom-house on an enlarged scale, and the Royal Mail Steam-packet Com pany are to have workshops on a large scale upon the com pany's estate, affording, with the dry dock and sheers, facili. ties unequalled by any port in the kingdom. Even now the dry dock is insufficient to afford all the accommodation re quired by the Oriental Steam-packet Company, and a second dry dock is to be constructed. The point of chief importance to the mercantile public generally is the extension of the South-Western Rail way to London-bridge, to meet which, the Dock Com pany proposes to secure suitable warehouse accommoda tion, with a water frontage, contigunous to the London bridge terminus, thus affording the option of housing goods either at Southampton or in London, the railroad running past the doors of the warehouses at both extremities. This is the most admirable appliance of the railway principle that has yet come to our knowledge, and is, in fact, making Southampton a sort of new London dock. The company's office will -be at London-bridge, and special orders and mes sages will be sent down by electric telegraph. There are no later ship arrivals to•day, and the intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope, &c., is of old dates. The Funds have been higher again to-day, and Consols have been quoted 91 to 911 for present transfer, and 911 for time. At the present time the market is barely so good. Bank Stock is marked 2031 to 2041, being a rise; and India Stock is at 2501.

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY. - Very limited supplies of English Wheat have arrived up to our market this wet k, consequently the show of samples was trifling; still, however, the demand was by no means active, and the market closed somewhat dull, at about Monday's quotations. In Foreign Wheat a fair amount of business was transacted, at fully previous currencies. One or two large cargoes were taken for the French markets. Although very little Barley was on offer, the trade ruled dull, at barely late rates. In Malt, the supply of which was small, next to no thing was doing, at late figures. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were a slow inquiry, at previous quotations. Indian Corn was firm, but not dearer. ARRIVALS. Wheat. I Bandy. 2,730 qrs. 1,190 qrs. English ...... Irish. . .

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on sale, to• day was small, and of middling quality, the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported. There were in the market 180 Beasts, 100 Sheep, and 13 Calves from abroad. With home-fed Sheep we were very seantity supplied; yet the Mutton trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices —the highest figure for the best old Downs not exceeding ss. per 81bs.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. The new play of Feudal Times, by the author of The King i f the Commons, was produced here last evening with great and deserved success. As in his former play, the author has chosen a Scottish story for the subject of his drama. The date of the play is 1482. James HI. (Mr. H. Marston), King of Scot land, is apprehensive of an invasion from his brother, the Duke of Albany, who, with the assistance of Eng land, is seeking to depose him. His nobles, headed by Douglas, are jealous at the favours he confers on Walter Cochrane (Mr. Phelps), and when Cochrane is created Earl of Mar their discontent breaks out, and James finds he can place no dependence upon them. Margaret Randolph (Miss Laura Addison), who dearly loves Mar, now comes forward, and being the last of her race, she appoints him leader of her clan. He, however, at length falls into the hands of his foes, and is conficed in Douglas Castle. In his prison Douglas, Earl of Angus, comes to him, and offers to spare his life on condition that he will join theirparty. This condition he indignantly rejects ; Margaret, in vain prays him to ac cept it. llesurprised,and says that he will rush out and dtheirie on swords, is and then the horrid truth is told. His enemies have ordered that he shall die a felon's death, and suffer by the hangman's hands. As a last resource, she gives him a dagger, bidding him show Roman courage, but he re plies, as he rejects it, " I have a nobler courage than the Romans—submission," and as the door opens he rushes out and endeavours to force a passage ; he is driven back, wounded and dying. In his dying agony he springs up, drives Douglas back from Mar garet, and falls deal at her feet ; she rushes on the sword of Douglas, and falls on her lover's body, ex claiming "How happy 'tis to die thus," and the curtain falls. The play is powerfully written, and admirably acted. Miss Laura Addison, as Margaret, more than sustained her well-earned high reputation, and Phelps, as Cochrane, was most spirited and chivalrous. G. Bennett, as Douglas, Earl of Angus, was both in acting and making up the very beau ideal of an old proud, rough, overbearing, ignorant, and irritable feudal chieftain. Marston, as the King, was very gcod. Phelps, Marston arid Miss Addison, were called for at the conclusion, and the play was announced for repe tition every evening without a dissentient voice. The house was crowded. k TUE NEW Bisuors.—lt is said that the four l3ishopricks to be created, according to the proposition of Lord John Russell, will be conferred on the Hon. and Rey.

THE MIDLAND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.--11YRNIE V. KEIGHLEY. Mr. Cockburn was for the plaintiff, and Sir Frederick Thesiger for the defendants. This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, an engineer' to recover 4001. from the defendant, Mr. Richard Kelley, of Cleveland-row, St. James's, one of the managing Ws inittee of the above-mentioned Company. The company Wa s projected in the autumn of 1845, when similar projects were as " thick as flies on a summer's day," and was registered in, the name of a Mr. Holmes, its promoter, on the 24th en September. The object of the line was "to form a. more direct communication between the towns of Reading and Northampton." The committee of ma n agem e nt applied to the plaintiff, through their secretary, Mr. Kemp, on the 11th of October, for the terms on which he would become the en" gineer of the line. His terms were accepted—namely , 5001., 1001. to be paid down and the remainder on the plans being deposited at the Board of Trade by the memora ble 30th of November, 1845, and an agreement to this effect was duly drawn up and executed on the 14th of October, Mr. Holmes acting on behalf of the committee. Assistants were to be engaged by the plaintiff, and were to be paid by the company. Although the line was seventy-five miles ill length it was surveyel a n d th e pl ans d u l y d epos ited- The " panic," however, cut off the project in the midst of its triumphs, as owing to the non-payment of the deposit it ical impossible to proceed to Parliament, and it fell to the gonna' The defendant was an active member of the committee. The plaintiff's case, however, fell to the ground also .ia consequence of the absence of Mr. Beales, the attesting wit; ness to the agreement, who - was called on his subpoena, a n " the plaintiff was accordingly non-suited. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY•) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LC;ED CHIEF JUSTICE 04 a Special Jury.) THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON V. PARKINSON AND ANOTIIO6 • THE PATENT WEL. This was an action brought by the Lord Mayor of the citi of London, on behalf of the • Corporation, against t- 1 1 defer dents, manufacturers of the patent fuel, 1 : Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for the infringement of the Act es Parliament in importing fuel into the port of London withou t paying the usual duty imposed on coal. The real question raised by the action was, whether or no the patent fuel WS coal within the meaning of the statute, and therefore liable to the duty. Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Willis appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Hill for the defence. Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL opened the case, stating that the action had been brought to protect the revenue of the CO which had been infringed by the defendants in importing their patent fuel into the port without paying the usual dutt The plaintiff maintained that the fuel was coal, imported in its present form in order to evade the A c t o f Parliament, aw the present action was brought to try the question. Evidence was then taken to prove the chemical charaao of the fuel. Professor Brande deposed to- having analysed the Wen d fuel, and found that a 1,000 parts contained 927 p ar ts coal an . 73 parts coal-pitch or tar, to mak e th e f ormer co here; O. coal did not seem to have undergone any change whatel'er, but was in its natural state. Messrs. Cooper and Jackson corroborated this evidene,e , The former stated that in several sampl es h e h a d examin e' the coal was in the proportion of 900 to 940 to the 1,0001 0 1 and while some portions were well mi xe d an d com p ac t, ot hers were very friable. Mr. Child, a coal merchant, ga ve ev id ence t o the e-e ct , that he did not recognise practically any difference bet' the patent fuel and ordinary coal. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. MARTIN addressed the jury briefly to the effect, that Z would prove that the materials of the patent fuel were in Ol e g unmixed state almost useless, and that their value delienu b , altogether on the manufacturing process they were est I mitted to. The materials were made to undergo sev ell t , preparatory processes, and then introduced into a retor where they were heated to a red heat, well mixed together by a revolving screw, Ind when the fusion was complete til e i matter was run out, and formed into the brick-like pieces which it was found when sent into the market for sale. James Gordon said he was the manager of Messrs. Parkin . son and Co.'s manufactory, at Newcastle. He su per t tended the practical operations o f th e p a t en t f ue l.

A verdict, subject to this arrangement, was then ivetu BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE BARLOW. An application of rather a novel nature was made in this case. A marriage settlement was in existence, but the bank rupt had absconded, leaving his wife in great distress. The assignees had got about 3001., and had taken the opinion of Sir James Russell, who was of opinion that the assignos could legally apply the assets t o the extent of one-thir d towards the settlement, but if the Commissioner did not approve, a short petition in bankruptcy should be presented.. The Learned COMMISSIONER (Holroyd) granted the spilt cation. SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) • GREENING AND OTHERS V. NICHOLTN.

The plea was, not indebted, but the defendant had, under: judge's order, admitted that two parcels of goods bad bee' delivered. Mr. CHAR:COCK, for the defendant, admitted that the PO, had been received, but. the seco n d l o t h a d b een refused is consequence of a dispute as t o th e di scount , an d the g o o ds remained at the railway office for some months.
