Evening 53 minutes after 4. 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 Mr. HILL, the Recorder of Birming ham, and Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, 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 Lord 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 !" 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 noTv 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 acccunt 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. OTLAIIERTT 475 showing that no less than 955 had polled during the two first days, out of a constituency of little more than 1,2.00. 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. What just 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 attention 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 other wise most rertainly 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 111 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 coverninent 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 passed 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 connex i on w i t h t h e Government, that constitute reli g ion m of the gTAeatmajo rity native o Galway, professing the claims of h e of its inhabitants, he has ever maintained the highest character for ability and integrity. Prom the time when he terminated his collegiate career, by gaining the highest university honour obtainable by a Roman Catholic—the science gold medal, he distin 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 o MONArIAN associated with his own on the brief, a s 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 politics apart, there is scarcely a person 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. Mortauert to the suffrages of the people. This I 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 suc 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 upon a sound basis 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 opposed in their main feltures 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 es 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 nut 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 wo have received Malta journals of the 6th inst., Constantinople journals to the 27th ult., and 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. The Gaceta publishes the following letter from the 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' expcdition:— ~ The expedition against the Equator, projected by General Flores, so far from having ever obtained the support of the Government, 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- j lations that it desires to maintain with the new states of America. Not only has it made these amicable dispositions known to the American republics which have been recog nised by her Majesty Queen Isabella 11.. but also to those that have not yet been recognised, by addressing communi cations to that effect, either to our diplomatic agent abroad, or to the representatives of those republics at Madrid, Paris, and London. To act thus was to act in accordance with the generous sentiments of the Spani s h nat i on, with the frank intimate the relations wi th a ll the countries that n ess and honour that it has always shown i n th e o b servance ftreaties,and with the nobl e d es i re that animates it to and its name. Thi s con d uct Laing justly ap preciated, there is no reason for alarm and di squ i etu d e being kept up with respect t o an event, which, preve n t e d i n t i me, has.not been able to alter in anyyespect the frat erp it y o f the p S mush Government with the republics of Atherica. Corn ineece and navigation , of which the Government does not respecto e n render mores flag l os t a ight,•are secure, and cannot suffer from an incident, the effects of which the Government has been able to set aside. Her Majesty the Queen orders me to inform you of this, in order that you may take measures to calm the fears of the Junta of M a laga, 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 S uc cession of FERDIN AND VII. and the marria ge con tracts oftheUEEN and her s i ster . T he Minister of Justice declined saying anythin g on t h e su bj ect 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, 32i sellers; Five per Cents., 201 .buyers, sellers; Passive Debt, 6i buyers, sellers; C ou p ons, 19 buyer, *9l sellers. We hare 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 Constitutionnel, the Siecle, and the Epoque, were not published on Wednesday. The Journal des Debats 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 Royal Highnesses Prince ALBERT aad the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, were 'present at the dinner, as was the Earl of CLAREN. DON. On quitling 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 shattered state that he is unable to resume his Ministerial duties. . _ Don ENRIQUE arrived at Toulon on tho 14th. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, the AR. nister of Finance presented a Bill authorising the Bank of France to issue notes of 250 E, and another regulating the Transatlantic steam-packets. A lotter from Marseilles of the llth says— " There is at this moment in our city more than 600,000 hectolitres of grain, which are daily being sent to the in terior. There are, besides, in the quarantine ports of Po megtfe and Frioul, in f ree pratique, from 17 0 to 180 vessel s , 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 716,925 giving a total of 3,259,154, of which 2,4;. ,068 entered by the Mediterranean, 616,795 by the Atlantic, and 205,301 by land.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 2,500 bales, the market being very dull and heavy. Prices were %d. to 1 / 4 d., per lb. lower than last week. 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 today, and the intelligence , from the Cape of Good Hope, Sec., is of old dates. The Funds have been higher again to-day, and Consols have been quoted 91 to 91i- for present transfer, and 91i for time. At the present time the market is barely so good. Bank Stock-is marked 2033 to 2041, being a rise; and India Stock is at 250 i. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 931 to 3. Exchequer-bills have been quoted Is. to ss. premium. Besides the ordinary operations, the Government broker bought 10,3001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 91 3 / 4 for the re duction of the Debt, and 9,0001. Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 93% for the Savings' Banks. Money continues easy in the house. The Foreign Bonds have been dull, but there is a some what firmer market for Spanish, the Five per Cents. being held at 25 1 4. Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 34 to %. Mexican Bonds are 22 1 %. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, are worth 58 1 / 2 3 / 4 . The Railway Share Market is again rather buoyant, and the French lines have risen, owing to the improved accounts from Paris. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

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. English ...... Irish. Foreign ...... Wheat. 2,730 qrs. ARRIVALS. IBarley. 1,190 qrs.

There were in the market 180 Beasts, 100 Sheep, and 13 Calves from abroad. With home-fed Sheep we were very scantily supplied; yet the Mutton trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices—the highest figure for the best old Downs not exceeding .ss. per Blbs.

BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER ItAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the Brighton and Chichester Railway Company was held this day, at eleven o'clock. at the offices of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail way, London-bridge Terminus, for general purposes, and the re-election of three directors.—The Hon. Captain Hotham presided. _ _ . The advertisement, calling the meeting, having been read, and the common seal of the Company affixed to the register of proprietors, The CHAIRMAN said that it would be unnecessary for him to trouble them with any lengthened observations. Those present were aware they were obliged to call the meeting, as until the Portsmouth Extension line was finished they could not legally sell it to the Brighton Railway, and as yet they stood therefore in the position of an independent Company. The Portsmouth Extension line, for the first eight miles of its course from Chichester to Havant would be opened in March, and it was expected that the whole distance would be opened by the end of May. He would now call on the secretary, Mr. Williams, to read the state of accounts. The Secretary was proceeding to read the accounts in de tail, but it was suggested that the gross sum would be suffi cient. The expenditure to the 30th June, 1846, j was _ _ From Ist July to 31st Dec. 126,665 14 2 £230,479 12 8 The accounts having been passed, the three directors who retired by rotation were re-elected, and no other business re maining, the meeting separated.

A very numerous meeting of members of the Senate, comprising most of the heads, professorF, and residing fellows in the ' University, was held this day, the 19th of February, in the Combination room of Trinity College, at which reso lutions were passed unanimously to secure the election of his Royal Highness Prince Albert as Chancellor of the University, and a committee of members from each of the colleges appointed to carry the resolution into effect. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. The new play of Feudal Times, by the author of The King of 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 111. (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 confined 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 their party. This condition he indignantly rejects ; Margaret, in vain prays him to ac cept it. He is surprised , and say s that h e will rush out and die on their swords, 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 dead 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 and Miss Addison, were called for at the conclusion, and the play was announeel for repe tition every evening without a dissentient voice. The house was crowded. TELE NEW BISTIOPS.—It is said that the four Bishopricks to be created, according to the proposition of Lord John Rnesell, will be conferred on the Hon. and Rev.

Summonses were issued yesterday to the Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council, at the Foreign-office, 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 ELLEN/3°llonm' said he viewed the mea sure with great distrust. He almost despaired as to the future state of Ireland. He doubted w Nether the land lords of Ireland would avail themselves of the Govern ment offer. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no doubt but that they would do so, and that the system of working would be wade " water 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 BOMFIM 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 required it. It was not their intention at present to interfere, but if Doss MIGUEL, 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 a such a large force in the Tagus, as appearing to counte nance the insurrection. The Marquis of LANBDOWNH defied any one to point out a single instance in which they had countenanced the insurrection. False rumours 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 ELLENBOROUGH 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 Dost MIGUEL in London, while the ♦ictorious troops of the Junta would have marched as they had done before from Oporto to Lisbon. Lord BROUGHAM then presented a petition, film Liverpool, praying for the amendment lôf'he crime mirist law .'as regarded' juvenile offenders',' and' eon eluded an eloquent speech,' replete' witt• sfittistici 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 of RICHMOND would support a motion for a Committee of Inquiry. Earl GREY said that the Government intended shortly to bring forward a measure bearing especially upon ju venile offenders. Among other measures they proposed to establish a penal sehool 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. Certain papers were then laid on the table, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons ma at Four o'clock, but there not being forty Members present, the House adjourned until tc-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 ance of the exertions which hare 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, ruat cmlunz, 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 whictz are rising from the very poor, the very lowly, atcr I: very villanous, are appeals which strike a t . once, ••,: our reason and upon our religious sym pathies. They speak to our disinterested and o interested sentiments. In the reclama tion of a large concourse of vicious characters, we perceive simultaneously the blessings which must necessarily accrue to them and the benefits which must be conferred upon Ourselves by that reclama -1 tion. We recognise the triple advantages whi c h mus t be the indubitable cons equence of the reformation of cur criminal code—the advant ages branching off to THE MIDLAND GRIND JUNCTION RAILWAT . ..- - /Yr tli p.

COMMON PLEA S.—(THIS DAY-) (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the LORD CHIEF Juana; and a Special Jury.) THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON V. PARKINSON AND ANUII I4II. THE PATENT FUEL. This was an action brought by the Lord Mayor of the Ci.ti_ of London, on behalf of the Corporation, against t 11; defer dants, manufacturers of the patent fuel' °of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for the infringement of the Act Parliament in importing fuel into the port of London with?„ paying the usual duty imposed on coal. The real que stl T: raised by the action was, whether or no the patent fuel 0 ,7; coal within the meaning of the statute, and therefore stab' to the duty. Mr. Sergeant Channel' and Mr. Willis appemed far t he plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Hill for the defence. the Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL opened the case, stating tga'7,ti, action had been brought to protect the revenue of the tt which had been infringed by the defendants is inipor,l', l their patent fuel into the port without paying the usual 0 ;1i The plaintiff maintained that the fuel was coal, import & its present form in order to evade the Act of Parliament" an the present action was brought to try the question. ft ter Evidence was then taken to prove the chemical cha• -c of th e fuel. t 0 1 Prefessor Braude deposed to having analysed the 1 01 - e d fuel, and found that a 1,000 parts contained 927 parts cool ie 73 parts coal-pitch or tar, to make the former cohere; , coal did not seem to have undergone any change Whatel'' but was in its natural state. Messrs. Cooper and Jackson corroborated this evidelioc'ed: The former stated that in several samples he had exaMillA the coal was in the proportion of 900 to 940 to the 1,00 0 n r s and while some portions were well mixed and compact, et" were very friable. trec t ' Mr. Child, a coal merchant, gave evidence to the e ,g that he did not recognise practically any difference betty the patent fuel and ordinary coal. This was the case for the plaintiff. t he Mr. MARTIN addressed the jury briefly to the effect, tha m it would prove that the materials of the patent fuel vrere tP de ti unmixed state almost useless, and that their value dePetbr altogether on the manufacturing process they were " e - o f mitted to. The materials were made to undergo sec r t, preparatory processes, and then introduced into a rete o where they were heated to a red heat, well mixed toge t t h o by a revolving screw, and when the fusion was complete matter was run out, and tormed into the brick-like pieces which it. was found when sent into the market for sale. iit . James Gordon said he was the manager of Messrs. par son and Co.'s manufactory, at Newcastle. He suP e a, r ss tended the practical operations of the patent fuel. It "04 made up of very small coal, the result of the se c( 2, t ic screening. It could not be used for do 0 1 ,7 0 0 or steam purposes, and cost in that state s.`i e b, three shillings a ten. It was then mixed with P l o si and a little lime, which had been prepared for the union , ir the whole was submitted to the action of high heat in Ilya tort until all the materials were well mixed. It ir beo run into moulds and allowed to cool. (The witness The described the process in detail, and by the aid of plans.. ' a le apparatus had cost nearly 40,0001.

Mr. CHARNOCK, for the defendant, admitted that the ei tt had been received, but the second lot had been reftle'Sjo consequence of a dispute as to the discount, and the Pi e sl remained at the railway office for some months. Theesrel defence was that the credit had not expired.

It certainly was a question for th e y, whether they believed the evidence for the defend, nt"., r b 'they did, as a point of law he considered the plaint' not entitled to bring his action. ' the Mr. SHIELD, the plaintiff's attorney, contended w• c oet plea " never indebted" was not sufficient to meet the t ot for at all events the first accour t had become due, and there was no consideration for the second contract. , ell The SECONDARY held that there was a considerati ° ope the discount, if not on any ocher grounds; the giving um oil claim and substituting another debarred the legal cliii . „ o /8 the first account.
