Further particulars an application at the Company's Offices. at all that the charge of perjury was one of the most serious that could be brought against any individual. It was the greatest offence against society, poisoning the very channels through which justice must flaw, and he was quite sure that their feeling on this subject would induce them to regard with the most careful attention all the circumstances of this meet extraordinary case, and to weigh them carefully and delib,rately in their minds before they pronounced an opinion one way or the other on the important issue they were called upon to decide. To prove perjury the evidence should be clear and intelligible. Here all the circumstances were of a conflicting character, and he felt certain they would not convict if they bad any doubts on the circumstances of the case brought forward by the prosecution. It would be his duty fairly to lay before them all the circumstances in this case of any importance, in order that they might fathom its intri cacies, and to protect the defendant, if they thought he ought to be, from the charge if without foundation. He then reviewed the origin of the proceedings up to the lady's marriage in 1850, and her separation six months after, on the ground that she refused to live with her husband if his mother resided in the same house. She, however, consented to do so, bet her husband refused to receive her, and she Lad not seen him since. After referring to the evidence of the lady's alleged conduct before marriage, which, if true, must have been of common notoriety, and known to the husband, the learned gentleman made some re marks on the conduct of the husband, and the excuse he had made of that to get rid of his wife. Referring to the conduct of Inspector Field, the learned gentleman said that within the last few years there had grown up a system, unusual in this country, of persons who bad been employed in the police force setting up a private office, in which the.y bele out that they were ready to detect matters interesting to others to know. He believed that that system was likely to prove one of the most mischievous description. If these persons confined their operations to follow upend apprehend fugitive felons, perhaps they would be the means of producinggood rather than harm, but if they were to be spies on the conduct of individuals, and were to be employed watching, month after month and year after year, houses of individuals for the purpose of discovering anything important for those who employed them to know, he confessed it appeared to him, it would lead to considerable danger throughout all the walks of life. In obtaining their in formation these persons must use for their instruments the basest and most worthless characters, because a spy was so odious to the national feeling of Englishmen, land so much odium was attached to the employment, that few persons of respectability liked to be so engaged, and be trusted that would always be the feeling of the people of this country. The learned gentleman then proceeded to review at great length the proceedings that had been taken in the case, and the evidence riven thereon, observing that in the original libel iu Doctors' Commons, adultery was never alleged to have taken place in Edgware-road or Bryanstone-street ; but in the additional libel put in reference was made to the occur rence at Cheltenham, spoken to by Mauls to have taken place in August ; and on the defendant proving that he was not in Cheltenham at that time, the witness on the trial bad shifted the time to July ; he else proved that no adultery took p'ace at the above places, and con sequently the Court of Arches refused to grant a divorce ; and now the prosecutor had insti tuted these proceedings with evidence that had come on the defendant with surprise. After some remarks criticising the evidence, the learned gentleman said that one of the many difficulties Mr. Robinson had to contend with, was that unfortunately Mr. Carrington and his wife were dead and he could not call them, which was of importance to him, because that lamented gentleman would have proved l i he lodgings were taken for him and with his consent. It had pleased Providence to deprive the defendant of the evidence of Mr. Car rington. On the 10th inst. Mr. Carrington, a gentleman of great respectability and of an advanced age, dropped down suddenly and died, and in the course ef the same day his wife followed him to the grave, The import ance of Mr. Carrington's evidence could not be over estimated in a case of this description, because it was admitted the defendant had been on terms of the utmost familiarity with the family, and thought no more of going into M's. Carrington's house than his own,and that he was in the habit of riding and walking out with her, and was such a reflection to be thrown on this respectable man that be would have tolerated any such intimacy as existed between the defendant and his daughter, whicn, if they believed the witnesses for the prosecution, almost proved to demonstration that criminal intercourse had taken place between them. The old gentleman's evidencs would Lave b ten of im portance to show that the lodgings in Edgware-road and Bryanstone-street were taken with his concur rence. He coull not, however, call that gentleman; but there was a witness he should bring forward, because it was impossible to come to a conclusion that the defendant was guilty of perjury without her, and without casting an indelible stain on Mrs. Evans character. Painful as was her pOsition, anticipated perhaps by the prosecution to place the defendant in a position almost compulsory to determine whether to expose her to an inquiry for which the prosecutor was prepared, or whether he would abandon the chance he had of being protected by her evidence. The lady herself however under the painful and distressing circumstances under which she was placed with her father and mother, scarcely cold in their grave, with another member of the family within three days having been numbered with the dead—felt that she must protect her character by ap pearing in the witness-box to disprove the odium and calumny it had been endeavoured to be established against her ; she would appear before the jury and sub mit to the most rigid and searching examination. The learned gentleman said the whole was a fabrication, a plot and a contrivance, and he called upon the jury to vindicate the character of the defendant and Mrs. Evans. (The conclusion of the learned gentleman's speech was received with applause.) The final witness called was Mrs. Evans, a lady-like nerson. She was dressed in black, and appeared at first very nervous. She deposed —I was married to Mr. Evans in 1850. The defendant ham known the family since 1842, and was a most inti mate friend of the family. lam turned 32 years of age. Mr. Robinson's mother resides in Cumberland Eitreet, where he lives part of the year, and the other at Chel tenham. The defendant called at my father's whenever he liked. He was accustomed to ride with me and the family. were in an indecent position with him on the sofa ? Witness—That story is a perfect fabrication. Mr James—Or on the sth? Were you in an indecen posture on the sofa ? Witness— I say I swear to that day. I went to the' theatre ta ice with the defendant, who left me at the door. I went o cc to the opera with him and his sister, Mrs. Teackeray. They both saw me home and kit. On the 4th, Mr-. Thackeray called with her little boy, about three years old. They came with Mr. Risiesou about 11 o'clock. Mr. Mentos came out of his room and joined them. I went out with Mrs. Thackeray and the child for a walk, The defendant left the house with us, and after accompanying us a short distance we separated. I went with Mr. Thackeray and his little boy into the park, returning to Bryanstone-street about one o'clock. I there found my cousin waiting for me. I generally took lunch about. 1 o'clock. My c .usin only took lunch with me that day. After the defendant left the house in the morning I saw nothing more of him that day. On that day Mrs. M'Donald and her daughter called on me about 3 o'clock. She is the wife of General M'Donald, and my mother's sister. They remained about half-an-hour or three-quarters of an hour. When my father and mother came I took the whole of the house. My cousin went out about 3 o'clock, and my aunt came in his absence. They just missed them. They left before his return. I generally dined about 7 o'clock. My cousin, after Mrs. lll‘Donald left, went out with me before din ner fora walk in the Park. We returned but a short time before dinner. lam quite positive the defendant did not call after that morning. The defendant called in the following morning, the sth, about 11 or half-past 11 o'clock. My cousin was then at home, and reading in the room adjoining. Mr. Thaakeray and his son called again that day with Mra Robinson. They're mained about half-an-hour, and we all went out together, We waked in the park, the defendant leaving us at the Marble-arch. A shower of rain came on, and we got wet. I returned home by myself. Mr. Thackeray and his son were staying at Mrs. Robinson's, in Cum berland-street, and they left me in Little Quebec-street. I got home to lunch a little after one : I found my cousin there. The defendant did not lunch with me that day. My father and mother arrived about 5 o'clock. I have no rec. Ilection of the defendant's calling afterwards, or of seeing him after the morning visit. lam positive he did not. The defendant has a son in the Treasury. He called with his father two or three times in Bryanstone. street. I was in the habit of going with my father and mother to church. He never on any occasion called and saw me on a Sunday after my parents had gone .to church. By Mr. James —Either before or after your marriage is it true that the defendant ever took any improper familiarities or indecent liberties with you ? Witness—Never. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Byles—The defen dant's mother resides in town. He has two sisters. No lady called upon me in the Edgware-road. The defen dant did not call upon them every day. One day he did net call, but I can't account for it, perhaps he can. I never remember his calling on me three times a day. I kept no notes of it. I have read the defendant's evi dence in the Arches Court. I don't recollect his calling throe times a day. I won't swear one way or the other. We might have stayed some times for an hour and a half alone. Mr. Sergeant Pyles—What did you do during that length of time ? Witness—l eupp• e I talked to him as I worked, and he to nae, the same as other visitors. Have you ever been with him when the blinds have been down ? Witness—l never noticed them. I never made a note of it. If the sun was shining, no doubt the blinds were down. Will you undertake to say when be has come in, you or he have never pulled down the blinds ? Witness— I don't recollect. I will not undertake to speak for any one but myself. It I found the sun dis agreeable, I might have pulled them down. Can you undertake to say that you have not pulled the blinds down when he came in ? Witness—No; I cannot say one way or the other. If the sun was disagreeable no doubt I did it. I recollect visiting at Miss Max well's once. Ido not remember going into the garden. I had a sprained ankle at the time, and could hardly go from the car riage to the drawing-room. I know nothing about the loeality. My sister walked in the garden so far as I can remember. She was between 11 and 12 years of age at that time. I have throe sisters, Fanny, Emma, and Clara. Emma is married. Fanny died in 1846. Clara is unmarried. In August when my sister was in Dublin, I and Mr. Robinson were in Cheltenham. When at Edgware-road I did not go with the de fendant to Hampton Court. I did in 1852. Re-examined--The defendant was one of my father's oldest friends. Since my husband has deserted me he has never called upon me in London. In my rides with the defendant I invariably started from my father's house. I never pulled down the blinds for an improper purpose, neither has the defendant. By Lord: Campbell—Do you recollect your father having a servant named Crest ? Witness—Yes. Lord Campbell—Do you remember at any time when he was in your father's service your leaving the room with your little brother ? Witness—l dont remember. I had a little brother, and no doubt I have left the room with him. Lord Campbell—Do you recollect on any occasion the defendant's following you I Witness—lndeed I do not. Lord Campbell—Now, I must ask you, Did the de fendant at any time upon the stairs kiss you I Witness—lndeed, not. Lord Campbell—He never did I Witness—No, Mr. Melling was next examined, and corroborated Mrs. Evans' evidence relative to the lodging and her movements in London. He came with her as her com• panion, and was constantly with her. lam in deacon's orders. He was a proctor. The defendant did not take luncheon with them on either the 4th or sth. In his cross-exatnination he said he had called to read a number of facts after the first trial, and made a memo• randurn of them, which he had since destroyed. He had gone out, and on his return found Mrs. Evans and the defendant together alone. Mrs. M'Donald was called to corroborate Mrs. Evans. In her cross-examination she said that she had seen the parties together several times at Cheltenham, at her father's house, and bad remarked that the defendant paid marked attention to her, which she thought par ticular to a young married woman. After some further evidence had been given, the Court adjourned till to-morrow morning. and some wine. The defendant Cox was seen to mix spirits and water for customers behind the bar. Mr. i3eadon inflicted the full penalty of 501. on each defendant. The next care was against David Belasco, of the Carlton Supper-room -7, 29. Haymarket.

Mr. Sleigh, for the defenda: , t, ma•iie a F,froetz appeal to tite bench, c mtending that ti , e evi:l, nce w.is not suffi ciently conclusive to justify the infliction of a penalty on the defendant. Mr. Boadon thought the evidence brought the offence clearly home to the defendant, and therefore he must impose the full flue of 501. The next case was against Eiizsbeth Elarvey, of 13, Panton-street. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, pleaded guilty for the defen dant, and in mitigation urged that it was his client's first offence. Mr. %Velsby did not wish to press with severity against any one who had a reasonable iefence to offer. Mr. Beadon had no desire to put the law in force to its full extent for a first offence, and would only impose the mitigated fine of 251. The next case was against Samuel Belasco, of No. 6, Panton-street. The defendant pleaded guilty, and asserted that it was hie first offence. . . NEW NOVEL BY MISS KA.VANAGII. Just ready, in 3 vols., (From the Morning lierala) It was stated in 1848 by Mr. Mangles, now chairman of fee East India Cerepany; that of 300,000,000 i. of motley received from the natives Ind , a ..nly 1,400,000 1 . had been expend. d in o r i‘u ia rr. 1;i:of, eels y: 7 l I,ll . er k e g b r i_ r , : k i tig nw a tii s we do e th it t P ll °s tt i consult, to describe what the w C h o ic i h np f a e n w y h h a a v :e ti r n !a e ll t y a done for Hindostan in the department of civil en gineering. Their principal labours have been di rected to canals and roads. The former receive water from the rivers, which are either fed by the mel•ed snows of the Himalayas or supplied f by the rains of the south-western monsoons. The t s i o r .u v r f e of ctBand information, opinions, ll (11,4liet e_ chief rivers which drive their a reams from the Himalayas are the Ganges, the Jumna, and the Indus; those which depend on the replenishment of their channels from the south-western monsoon aro the Nerhuildah, Taptee, Cauvery, Kiatna, and God e very. The Jumna was made available 'for canal pitrposes about the middle of the 14th century, two canals having been then formed ; but both were suffered to fall into decay about the middle of the last cPritury. They were res•ored by the Mar quis of Hastings between 1823 and 1830. i‘Th e whole of the visible stream of the Jumna," accord ing to Mr. Thornton, " has been diverted from the original channel at Badshahmahal, 155 miles above Dcihi, into two canals, called the Eastern and, Western Jumna Canals; and those run parallel with the parent river, and join it again at Delhi on tile opposite side=s of the river." The Nerbuddah and the Taptee flow into the gulf of Cambay, and as the whole of the coast is under the influence of the south-western monsoons, there is no occasion to make catials in that district for the purposes of ag ricultural irrigation. The whole deltas of the Cau very, the Kiatna, and the Godavery are supplied with water from those rivers, and on the latter Colonel Cotton has constructed some excellent hydraulic works, to which we shall particularly allude on another occasion. These three deltas are estimated to contain 5,000 square miles ; and the waters of the three rivers, though not used for canal purposes, are intercepted in their passage to the sea by a dam, and are thus made subs,rvient to navigation on the right and left. The Gangs Canal, with its branches, measun, from 700 to 800 miles, and will he available both for irrigation and navigation. In the Punjaub, the Ravee Canal will flow through a channel of 400 miles, and Umritsir and Lahore will be supplied from its branches, by which means a large tract of country be brought under cultiva tion. The discharge of the Ravee ae the source of the canal is 3,000 cubic feet per second ; and engineers have ascertained that one cubic foot per second is sufficient for the annual irrigati .11 of 218 aerea, tr abow , one-third of a square mile. On this subj et Mr. Thornton comes to this general condusion. Taking the whole of th. se rivers—the GrAnge=, the JtuntA, the Ravee, the Sutlej, and Jhelum—you get a discharge of 24,000 cubic feet per second ; but it appears that the people of the village de not irrigats the whole of t surface, but only about one-third; a cubic foot per second will, thEref re, irrigate about a square mile • ernsequeutly, 24,000 cubic feet per second are sufficient for - the annual irrigation of 24,000 square miles, actually irrigating one-third of it, the other two-thirds not being required to be irritated. The principal trunk roads run from Calcutt t to Delhi, and onward to Peshawur, from Bomb ay Agra, and from Bombay to Calcutta via Nagpore. The road from Calcutta to Peshawur measures nearly 1,500 miles. Up to Delhi it is macadamised, with the exception of the Rite-rs Sortne and Jumna, it is bridged. This grand trunk road from Calcutta to Delhi cost in construction 1,0001. per mile, and to keep the whole distance iu repair absorbs an annual expenditure of 50,0001. Stations are erected along the whole line of the trunk roads, called travellers' bungalows. The cost of road-making in different districts varies con siderably ; while, as stated, the Calcutta to Delhi cost 1,0001. per mile, that of Bombay only cost 3301. per mile, but it is not macadamised. There was no law empowering the levy of tolls up to 1852, and they aro only raised in three or four of the mountain passes, called ghauts, on which D E L By JULIA KAVANAGH, PROFESSOR WILJALBA FRIKELL.

Sixth Thousand. Sir,—lt may be in the recollection of some of your commercial readers that on the 10th of April last you did me the favour to insert a letter of mine in your paper, stating the ineffectual attempt I made on the previous day, at the nomination at Kilmainham, to put two questions to each of the candidates for the repre sentation of this county in Parliament touching our money laws. These questions were :—" 1. Have you directed your attention to the Bank Charter Act of 1844, and to the state of the currency generally, so as to have formed a definite opinion on the subject ; and if so, will you state shortly what that opinion is ? 2. Are you prepared carefully to watch the proceedings of the House of Commons Committee of Inqnry into the effects of the Bank Charter Act, and to use your best exertions to place our monetary system on a just and permanent basis ?" It was not lightly, or with the wish to advocate some mere theory, however true, II at I then desired to bring this great question under the notice of the constituents themselves, who. it must be confessed, are at all times greatly indisposed to entertain it. The commercial hurricane then im pending, and through which we are now passing, may plead toy justification. Although this crisis will not affect all wilre, no class will escape its baneful eff-cts and the question now is—What is t.) be done ? Or are Viose who sh mild take a lead in so vital a matter --ur mem b.rs of Parliament and Chambers of Commerce—ci )n tent that the storm shall pass away, crushing some and crippling others, without inquiring into its causes and the means of preventing such catastrophes in future ? I hope better thing , . But a pretty long experience in web matters teaches me that if this money question be left simply to ministers and the currency doctors, with Lord Overstone at their head, without local anion in the great industrial centres of the kingdom, we shall be doomed to run seakst the same vicious circle ; and shall, by and by—to use the language of the nobleman I have just named—find ourselves in " a state of quies cence; next improvement, growing c, nfidence, prospe rity, excitement, overtrading, omvulsion, pressure, atagnatien, distress, ending again in quiescence." It has come to be almost a settled conviction with some of our economists that this must be accepted as a normal state of things—a something which cannot be escaped from, and must, therefore, be endured. But however this doctrine may suit those whom the Times naively calls "hard calculators," it is by no insane fitted for the in dustrious producers of the nation's wealth : and will, I trust, bo not touch longer endured by them. However indisposed our commercial and productive classes may be to investigate the theory and practice of our system of exchange generally—which I believe to be based on an'ything but equity—they will row surely give some attention to the workings of the much-vaunted law of 1844, which was to land us in something like a commercial Elysium. And yet twice within the period of ten years has it become necessary to suspend the law to prevent a national convulsion 2 The author of the measure, Mr. S. Jones Lloyd (now Lord Overstone), in a pamphlet published by him in July 1844 stated that its object was to secure the conver tibility of the bank note into gold, and that this would be attained without subjecting the public to any increase of the inconveniences which they had theretofore expe rienced duricg a drain of bullion. Yet twice since the enactment of the law have we been confessedly brought to within a few hours of barter. The bank minimum charge for discount has risen to the heretofore unpre cedented rates of 8 and 10 per cent. ; even with these rates advances could not be had upon Exchequer Bills, and securities of a like nature; and since the meeting of Parliament it has been avowed by the executive government that but for its late interference in au thorising the suspension of the law, the Bank itself must have suspended. Again, Sir Robert Peel, in introducing the bill on the 20th of May, 1844, said the object of the measure was to prevent the recurrence of those evils from which we suffered in 1825,1836 awl Excellence with Economy.

The further hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed yesterday morning. The first witness called was Sarah Grecott—l am the wife of a butcher in St. John's Wood. I was engaged on 23th June, 1854, by Field to go to Mrs. King's. I was to be paid 2/. a week; I went there on Thursday the 29th. I know the defendant. I saw him on that day about luncheon time. He went to the Crystal Palace with Mrs. Evans and Mr. Mellins. They dined that day on their return between 7 and S o'clock. I remained in the house till the following Saturday week. I had been engaged specially to watch Mrs. Evans, Mr. Robinson came again on the 30th about luncheon time. That was his usual time for calling. Mrs. Evans was in the house, and they were alone together for some time. He called again the following day (Saturday) ; they were alone on that day together for some time. I had ob served nothing up to that time. On Sunday Field gave me a gimblet, and I made a hole in the folding door be. tween the drawing-room and back drawing-room. I was unable to command a view of the sofa through the first hole I made. The second time I was more sue. cessfnl, and could command a view of the sofa in the drawing room. On the 4th of July Mr. Robinson came as usual. Mr. Mellins was there ; they had luncheon about 1 o'clock, and Mr. Mellins went out. After he had gone out the defendant and Mrs. Evans were alone in the drawing-room. I went into the back drawing room, where I found Mrs. Price taking an inventory. I looked through . the second hole I had made, and I saw the defendant and Mrs. Evans sitting on the sofa, side by side. Mrs. Price looked through. and in doing so made a slight noise. On that Mrs. Evans came into the room and asked what we were about. Mrs. Price said taking an inventory. I think we then both went down stain.. After that I heard the drawing-room door shut as I supposed by Mrs. Evans. I then went up stairs again with Mrs. Price. I again looked through the hole and I saw the defendant and Mrs. Evans on the sofa. Mrs. Evans was sitting astride the defend. ant's lap. I fetched Mrs. King up, who looked through the hole also. The defendant came again the following day, July 5, and was alone with Mrs. Evans for some time. I again looked through the hole and saw them on the cola. I witnessed a similar act to that on the previous day, only they were in a different posi tion. I left, and asked Mrs. King to come up, and she looked through the hole. I again looked through and saw that they had not changed their position on the sofa. That night, before going to Liver pool, in August, I saw the defendant in company with Mrs. King. She corroborated Mrs. King's evidence, relative to the defendant's meeting them in Bryanstone street, previous to the trial in Liverpool, in August, and the conversation that passed between them. Defendant did not speak to me ; he did not know me. Cross-examined—When Field engaged me I was to have 2/. a week for a month. 1 knew I was to watch a lady. I remained 9or 10 days, and had my money, Si. I did my duty very carefully. I did not look through the keyhole, but I. went once to the doer and listened ; that was the only time I listened. I made the hole in the door in the middle of the day, when they were all out. I found I could not see the sofa, and I had to make another. The familiarity was taking place when I saw them. I went to Mrs. King in the dining room, and fetched her up. She came up immediately and looked through the hole. I was not a minute fetching Mrs. King. 1 did not tell Field of it for some time afterw.trds. Mr. Mellins paid me the SI , and I had given my evidence to that gentle man before seeing Field. I saw Field yesterday, and spoke to him several times ; once I believe after Mrs. King had given her evidence. I have been examined twice at Liverpool and once in Doctors' Commons. I said nothing about the conversation with the defendant except on the second trial, because I was not asked about it. Re-examined—l was to have 8/. for the month whether I discovered anything wrong or not. Mrs. Price deposed: I keep a lodging-house in Ryder street, St James's. My husband is at present in Avg trail& She corrabated the evidence of the last witness relative to what she saw on looking through the hole in the panel of the door. She added that the defendant's hand was partly up Mrs. Evans' clothes. Cross-examined—l did not know Mrs. King's real name, or her mode of life when I became acquainted with her. I once accompanied her tothe Marble Arch to meet as she said Mr. Evans ; she did not tell me she was going to meet Field. We met tae latter there ; Mr. Evans was not with him. I did not hear her say, "Here's my friend, Mre. Price, perhaps she will oblige me." I did not hear Field's answer. I always knew it was supposed an intrigue was going on at Mrs. King's it was desirable to discover ; I had been separated from my husband, but I lived with him before he went to Australia. After the discovery I went to Margate with Mrs. King. Field spoke to me about it, but I can't say if it was there. It was before the first trial in Liverpool. Re-examined—l have had no conversation with Field nothing material at all—about the trial. My husband was a warehouseman. He left me before he went to Australia. Margaret Clarkson Saunders, 31, Saville-street—l was at Mrs. King's house on a Tuesday in July. I be lieve it was the 4th. I was in the house-keeper's room on the basement cleaning paint. I know Rim Davis, Mrs. Evans's maid. I saw her that day in the house keeper's room between two and four o'clock. She was ironing, and did not go up stairs at all during that time. Cross-examined—l occasionally worked for Mrs. Sing in Brydges-street, Covent-garden, lam her cousin. It was after the first trial that I was asked about Ellen Davis. _ _ _ John Clarke, fly-driver, at Cheltenham—l recollect a party being given at Lansdowne-crescent in 1845, about 150 yards from Mr. Carrington's. It was a private ball. Miss Carrington and the defendant got into my fly : it was between 2 and 3 o'ciczk in the morning. He directed me to drive to Berkeley-place, where the defendant resided : it is a mile and a quarter from Lansdowne-cres cent. I drove them towards the place, and when near Belle Vue, the defendant stopped the fly, got out and paid me, directing me to drive the lady home to 15, Lansdowne-terrace. I did so, and the lady got ou s . I have repeatedly seen them walking together in retired places iu the suburbs of Cheltenham. Cross-examined—l spoke of it at the time in 1845, because it was something so unusual. At the request of a fly-man I went on Friday last for the first time and told Mr. E MIS of it. I saw him at the Assembly. rooms. The lady and defendant were both in ball dresses. It was a very common thing to see the de fendant going to Mr. Carrington's house on a Sunday morning bet x.een 10 and 11 o'clock. This was the plaintiff's case. Sir F. Thesiger, in addressing the jury for the defend ant, said he felt certain they were all deeply impressed with the impor'ance of this case, both as to its character and its consequences, for they could entertain no doubt Lord Campbell—What is the age of the defendant? Mr. James—About 49. Witness continued—m y father did not keep a riding horse for use, and I al ways rode the d e f en dant's black mare. I was about 17 w h en I first k new him. I was mauled Nov. 14, 1850. I b ecame engag ed to him in Sept. of the same year. Mr. Robinson had no hand whatever in that engagement. He .resided at the time at Cheltenham with his wife. After the marriage I re• sided with my husband in Leicester, who is fond of hunting and kept hunters. He deserted me in March, 1851, and the deed of separation was made in May. We disagreed about living with his mother, and when I found he would not give in, I wrote to say I would give way, but he declined to live with me. I wrote him a letter which has never been produced. He never assigned any other cause for leaving me. My father died on the 10th of this month, and my mother on the same day. My father gave his evid ence i n the A rc h es C our t, an d if he had lived he would h ave g i ven ev idence here. W e were in the habit of corning to London, and Mr. Robertson was in the habit of taking lodgings for us—he did it on several occasions. I was never in a fly with Mr. Robin son at Cheltenham in July, 1849, Was in Norfolk at the time staying atHelstead Rectory. I was never at any time in a fly alone with Mr. Robinson at Cheltenham, or any other place. I never left a party at Lansdowne crescent or any other place with Mr. Robinson. I was always on such occasions seen home by my parents. In 1853 I cams to London and lodged in the Edgware road with my servant. My parents knew of it and all my movements. I asked the defendant to take lodgings arrived at Edgware - ro ad on the 23 d June, and removed there for a fortnight and a day. The d e fendant used for me, because my usual lodgings were occupied. I to call there, and I used sometimes to go out with him. I never saw the defendant in possession of a latch-key whilst I was there. I never heard of it till my maid had her deposition taken. I never knew of his coming into the house without knocking or being announced by my maid or Mrs. Phillips servant. When I have gone out with her we have walked to the parks and the Royal Academy Exhibition. He never on s uch occasions let himself in with a latch-key — he alwa y s k nocked. I have read the proceedings in this case. By Mr. James —Were you ever guilty of any act of adultery with Mr. Robinson ? Witness—Never. Mr. James—At any time in the evening of August 4, 1853? Witness—Never. Mr. James — W ere y ou ev er guilty of any indecency or adultery with Mr. Robinson, as deposed to by Mann! Witness—lt is utterly false. Th e s t or y is utterly false from begin nin g to end . xe --LY sister Fanny was with me in Dublin in August, 1853. My father kept a memorandum -book, which I was in the habit of geeing. Mr. James proposed to put in the book. Mr. Sergeant By les ob j ected . Lord Campbell refused to ad mit it. Witness---I can do very well with ou t it . My father took nay sister to Dublin on the 2d of Aug. There was no other sister at home then, She remained till the end of Oct., but my father left about the 15th of A ugust, and my sister went on a visit to my brother-in-law, Dr. Wood, 16thLancerF, then quartered at Dublin in in 185 4 . My I went to Bryanston e-street . father and mother Came up after me. I arrived on th e 19th of June accompanied by my cousin, Mr. Mellins, a gentleman reading for the church who had been in the army. I think I wrote to the defendant to take apartments for Mr. Mellins and myself. ite —y father and mother arrived on the sth of July, about 5 o'clock in the after- noon. Mr. James—l will ask you this question, during the time you were in Bryanstone-street, did Mr. Robinson take any improper familiarities with you, or to put the question plainly did you commit adultery with him there ? Witness--I neiver did. Lord Campbell—Or take improper familiarities ? Witness—Never. Mr. James—ln it true that, on the 4th July, you A batch of informations, laid at the instance of the Excise authorities, against the owners of supper-rooms within the jurisdiction of the court, for selling beer, spirits, and wines without a licence, was yesterday heard at Marlborough-street police-court by Mr. Bea.lon. the sitting magistrate. The court was very much crowded by parties inte. rested in the proceedings. Mr. Webby, instructed by the Excise commissioners, appeared to support the informations ; Mr. Buzzard, vestry clerk of St. James's, and Mr. Superintondant Hannant were present to watch the different cases. It appeared that the proceedings originated from com plaints made to the police by inhabitants and licensed victuallers of the district—the first asserting that these supper-rooms rendered inoperative the act which required public-houses to be closed after 12 o'clock on Saturday night, and the last that their business was seriously injured by unlicensed parties keeping open at all hours, and supplying exciseable articles to their customers. In consequence of these complaints the Excise authorities communicated with the police, and the result was six informations against eight individuals occupying and owning six houses called supper-houses. The first information was against Matilda Wood and Henry Cox, the keepers of the Argyll Larder, 2, Penton street, better known as " Matty Wood's," for selling spirits, Stc., vtithout a license, on Sunday morning, 22d November. Police-sergeants Draper, Roberts, and Silvester, proved that the house was watched for some time, and that they gained admission in plain clothes on the morning in question ; that great caution was used in admitting thews, the deer being carefully guarded, and a signal given on the admission of a customer ; and that they found the supper-rooms filled with persons of both sexes, who were being served with beer and spirits and water. Inspector Lester proved the ownership of the house, and that the business had been for a length of time con ducted in the same way. The evidence of the sale of spirits was defective in one of the links, and the defendants were allowed the benefit of the doubt by Mr. Beadon, and no penalty was inflicted. A. second information against the same parties, for a similar infraction of the law on the 29th Nov., was next heard. The evidence was similar in character and supported by similar evidence, with this addition, that the proof of the sale of exciseable liquors was made clear, and that the defendants after the 224 Nov. exercised greater caution in admitting guests, the outer door being kept on the lock, and no one admitted without a preconcerted signal. Mr. Beadon imposed the highest penalty, 50/., on each defendant. An application for a mitigated fine was made. Mr. Beadon could see no grounds whatever for miti gation. The next case was against John Hoare, Henry Co; and Joseph Gray, the keepers of the Waterford Arms, 15, Haymarket. The police proved that they visited the house on the morning of the 28th Nov., and found about a dozen persons there. Some were drinking spirits and water, 1839, viz., the rapid fluctuations in the amount and value of the medium of exchange. And this statement was endorsed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir C. Wood, who said that he anticipated from the law lens flectuation in the amount of the circulation and in the range of prices. So much for the theory. What have bean the facts ? The notes of the Bank of England in actual circulation have fluctuated from 17,377,000 in June 1848 to 23,573,000 in Jan. 1853, or nearly 40 per cent. whilst the fluctuations in the price of this legal tender have been most violent in their range and num ber. Since the passing of the act (that is in less than 14 years) the rate of discount has been altered 52- times, varying from 2 per cent, in April 1852 to 10 per cent. in Nov. 1857—a difference of 406 per cent. I Contrast this with the state of things prior to the passing of the act, when, as stated by the Lords' Committee in their report of 1848, the practice of the Bank of England had been to discount at a rate nearly fixed and uniform, and that for 140 year:, viz., from 1704 to Sept. 1844, this rate was never less then 4 per cast., and never ex 'ceded 5 per cent., except far a few months in 1839, when it was -ix per cent. Yet in the face of these facts the Times, and a few other organs which 1 Blow in its wake, are for upholding the act of 1844, and are loud in their censures of the Government for its recent interference. They were prepared to sacrifice not only the prosperity, but the very peace of the country, t ) the maintenance of a theory. It was not enough that the reckless trader should be punished, but the careful and the thrifty must be involved in one common ruin, and the honest and hapless labourer absolutely perish for. want, in order to swell the gains of a few " hard calculators"—men who had been speculating on the fortunes they should make by a famine in legal tender. The cry of these writers is that the mischief has been precipitated by over-trading. Now, without stopping to show that there can be no such thing as a general over-trading—that it must ever be exceptional, and that that must be a most imperfect, clumsy, and. cruel system which punishes the guilty and innocent alike—what, let us ask, is the cause of this over-trading —these imprudent speculations and their disastrous consequences I Need we seek further than the working of the act of 1844 itself, atone time tempting men with loans of money at two per sent., and then bounding to six, eight, and ten per cent.? With such unsteadiness, how is it possible to escape the speculation and consequent ruin we now see ? The blame is sought to be laid exclusively at the door of the joint stock and private banks, and bill-brokers in their system of re-discounting. But how the Bank of England is to escape the common blame—if blame there be in this—it is difficult to see, since but for its acquiescence and as sistance, this system could not obtain. I contend, sir, that the Act of 1844 has been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and that the productive and trading community should bestir themselves to get it repealed, and a sound system of currency substituted in its stead. But as many in these classes, either from want of time, opportunity, or inclination, or from a supposed want of power to grasp the subject, are mostly disposed to lean upon authority, I state for the benefit of all such, that the leading principles of the act have been condemned by some of the ablest thinkers and writers on the subject of monetary science—men whose interests are intimately bound np in the subject. Among those are to be found Mr. J. S. Mill, Mr. Tooke, the Editor of the Economist, Mr. Edwin Hill (brother of the Post-office Eteformer), Lord Ashburton, Mr. Glyn, Mr. Gurney, and numerous others equally important. And let it not be forgotten that the Select Committee of the House of Lords ap pointed to inquire into the commercial distress of 1847 stated in their report " that those restrictions (of the Act of 1844) materially aggravated the pressure, and produced the panic) of Oct., 1847;" and that the Commit tee of the House of Commons, appointed for the same purpose, may be said to have virtually come to a similar conclusion, it having divided 11 for and 13 aga i nst the mo tion of Mr. Hume That in the opinion of the com mittee the laws for regulating the issue of bank notes payable on demand (Acts of 1841-45 aggravated the commercial distress in England in 1847"—the majority consisting of Sir R. Peel and. his adherents, who sat in judgment on their own measure. My belief is, however, i that had Sir R. Peel lived until now, judging of his ac tion from his conduct on the subject of Catholic eman cipation and the repeal of the Corn Laws, he would bo the Company have to excavate large tanks, or the cattle would perish from want of water. The distance from Calcutta to Lahore has been per formed by carriage dauk,—that is, post-office mail - -on the sixth day from starting, which gives a speed of 81 miles per hour. During the Affghan campaign it was not performed under ten days, so that the improvement has been v er y cons iderable of late years. Mr. Thornton, who is at the head of the Statistical Department of the India House computes the annual expenditure on the roads, canals, embankments, and bridges, taking the last fifteen years preceding the year 1853, at 240,0001. for the first tea years, and at 400,0001. for the last five years. An outlay of 1,500,0001. was authorised on the Ganges Canal, and 500,0001. for that of the Punjaub. After long resistance from the Company railway's - have been introduced into India, but tho lines, or portions of lines, yet completed, are very trifling compared to the extent of the territory. Lord Dalhousie recommended the immediate establish ment of a line from Calcutta to Peshawur, and proposed to connect that with a line either from Bombay to Agra or from Bombay through the valley of Berar to Allahabad; another line travers ing the country trom Madras to Poonauy, and one from Madras to Bellary and Bombay. A ' system of electric tAegraphs, connecting the three presidencies of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay with each other, and with Agra, Lahore, and SiMIP has been completed at a cost of 351. per mile, or a total of 110,250/. for a distance of 3,150 miles. The Company are also entitled to credit for . deepening, within the last ten years, the " Piallll - Passage," between the island of Ceylon and the continent of India. Large ships, which forme, ly were ()aged to sail round the island, now safely pass throu;li this improved channel. Tee Indian Government is also entitled to praise for the trigo nometrical survey of the country, an arc of the meridian having been measured from Cape Comurin to the base of the Himalayas—about 1,100 miles; that forms a starting point for triangulating the whole country, and delineating its topography and geography. the great atlas of India is upon a scale of four miles to an inch. The survey of the north west provinces was completed in 1842; and, with the settlement, cost 337,000/. Every field has been measured, and mere ate thirty-one provinces in the north-welt. Such is a -Jubstantial account of what the Com. piny have done to promote the material interests of India during the last few years of their dominion ; but we fear it is true that even this small activity was involuntary, and forced upon them by the remon strances of public opinion. They have long known that India never could become an exporting country without a complete network of railways, as the cost of transporting commodities over earth roads, on the backs of bullocks for long distances, de stroyed all profit, and thus indirectly arrested pro duction. The stagnation of business has of course tied down the labourer to the lowest level of sub sistence while surrounded by all the raw materials of wealth, he has lived and died a pauper because these have never been developed. We have suf fered the cultivator to pine in indigence, while we • have pampered the Bengal sepoy taken from the class of cultivators. While the Indian Government has been pressed down, by growing indebtedness, and an annually deficient revenue, it has wilfully neglected the most obvious means of extricating itself from difficulties by discouraging an industry which alone could recruit their exhausted treasury.
