It is to be lamented that the bitterness with which the public mind still continues to be, more or less, impregnated with the odium theologicum re mains an incontrovertible fact. Lord BROUGHAM, whose whole life has manifested a continuous patrio tic ardour for conferring upon the masses of the people the inappreciable blessings of education, yes terday conceded the leading obstruction to their de velopment to be that, much as the two great classes —Churchmen and Dissenters—regarded the benefits of education, they nevertheless preferred their love of controversy, the obdurate maintenance of which paralyzes every effort to cultivate, by any comprehen sive system, the mental faculties of the vast numbers which constitute the humbler ranks of the community. Under such circumstances, the Government have con centrated their energies in favour of the next best step that could be taken—via., to extend Lhe existing system in a variety of excellent ways. Additional inspectors t are to be appointed—the best scholars are to be instructed to render them eligible schoolmasters, and, if they should not attain to tilt' requisite degree of proficiency, employment to be open to them in the great revenue departments — schoolmasters and mistresses to be rewarded with retiring pensions and gratuities—the pupils, in towns, to have the means of gaining a practical knowledge in agricultural and mechanical pursuits, that parents may be induced to send their children to school ; and, finally, to the reformation of schools in workhouses will the Legislature be invited to afford every facility. Such is the outline of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE'S statement. It was generally ap proved of, and with good reason. It is a most laudable endeavour to do much in a direction where all that is desirable to be accomplished cannot, for the reasons to which we have adverted, be accomplished. We must get on by degrees. All sound legislation is, for the most part, a judicious compromise of opinion. Ne sutor ultra crepidam. The Government are entitled to great praise for the practical wisdom they have evinced in the important suggestions which we have enumerated. We hope their anticipations will be amply realised. For the first time within the memory of man two measures of a great and comprehensive character relating to Ireland, involving principles of great importance and magnitude, declaring how and by what means an entire people are to be fed during a crisis of extraordinary difficulty, and on whom the expenses thereby incurred are to be chargeable, have been discussed in a calm, temperate, and statesman like manner, without any opposition being offered on any side, and with a general approval of all parties; indeed every one seemed for once to have resisted the temptation of attacking those in authority ; and, although some thought the Ministry went too far in their propositions, while others argued that they did not go far enough—while one declared that the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland should be invested with full regal powers—and another demanded the total abo lition of the office, while some declared against Go vernment interfering directly with the reclamation of the waste lands, and asserted that the sum demanded for the purpose, 1,000,0001. sterling, would be quite inadequate to do any good, and others expressed their most favourable anticipations of the good effects thereof, esteeming it the most valuable of the projects already announced, and one calculated to effect the greatest and most beneficial change in the social con dition of the country—both Bills received their second readings, and were forwarded a stage, without a division, nay without a single voice being raised in opposition to their progress. " Measures, and not men," are now looked to on every side ; and if the proposition is good in itself it is supported without reference to the quarter from whence it originates- These things, however, are too good to last. We fear that it is but a temporary truce, and not a per manent and lasting peace, that has been effected, and that when the enactments necessary for the present emergency have received the legislative sanction, the Senate-house will again become the theatre of fierce contests and party dissensions, of angry recrimina tions and hostile divisions. The common enemy is too formidable, the exigency is of too grave a character to be encountered by a divided and dis united Legislature; but when that difficulty is removed things will resume their ordinary course and flow in their accustomed channels. It would be very desirable if each measure was considered on its own peculiar points and on those of others immediately connected with it, and Honourable Members should not be impatient because everything that may be necessary during the progress of the session has not already been brought forward, or even alluded to in the Ministerial scheme. The first grand necessity is to carry into execution the means necessary for obtaining a present provision for the people ; the hungry must be fed, the naked must be clothed, the sick must have their wants attended to, before any of the more permanent measures are even discussed. The grand jury laws may and most assuredly do want revision and an extensive reform, but full time still remains for the most searching in vestigation (if such should be considered necessary) into their mode of working, and the vile system of road jobbery that has been effected by their means, that too frequently has transformed many of the Irish farmers and gentry into what, in one point of view, may be termed " highway robbers," and for passing the necessary changes into law. We have as yet only reached the period when Parliament has usually been assembled, and when the preliminary skirmishing is about to com mence, and yet much has already been done. The public works on roads are to be abandoned, save so far as it may be necessary to complete the under takings already commenced. The destitute poor are to be fed by rations distributed to them, and thus their labour will be left free for, and applicable to, that most important description of work—the fit and proper cultivation of the soil—the adequate prepara tion for the ensuing harvest ; and a sum of money is ready to be advanced by the Government (which will doubtless be increased, if it should appear that there is an urgent necessity for a larger expenditure in that manner), in order to enable the more impoverished of the small farmers to obtain the necessary seed to sow into the land, which they are now unable to procure from their own diminished resources. The Irish Poor-law is to be extended with the general approbation of the Irish as well as the English Members. As in other matters there are differences as to the details, and some of those having property in that country have expressed great fears of the effects of a concession of the right of out-door relief to the able-bodied poor, we think, however, that such a fear is unfounded; there are ample op portunities for the profitable employment of all the labour of the country in the cultivation and improve ment of its soil, and the certainty that the labour must be paid for, under any circumstances, will stimulate the landlords to direct it into profitable channels. They will thus be compelled to accept the benefits and assistance offered to them by the nation, and to bring their lands into the highest state of fer tility and productiveness. Like children, they contend against the salutary medicine, which may at first be unpleasant, but will assuredly produce the racist beneficial effects. We most sincerely hope that all the other measures relating to Ireland may be dis cussed in the same spirit and temper that has hitherto characteriAed all the debates relating to that country. A letter from Homburg of 29th ult. says— " When the late Landgrave, Philip Augustus, granted to Messrs. Blanc, brothel s, of Nantes, in France, the exclusive privilege of keeping the gaming-tables at the baths of Hom burg, the only condition imposed upon them was that they should pay to the State an annual sum of 26,0(X) francs ; but reserved to his successor the right of increasing this cont,i bution, or of withdrawing the privilege from Messrs. Blanc and granting it to other persons. The new Landgrave, Gus tavus Adolphus, who has just taken the reins of government, has exercised this right, and, taking advantage of the sup pression of public gaming-houses in nearly all the baths of Germany, has signified to Messrs. Blanc that he should with draw their privilege unless they entered into an engagement to pay an annual contribution to the State of 62,000 francs; to pay annually into the treasury of the municipality of Ilomburg 10.1,000 francs to be employed in the embellish ment of that capital ; to build at their own expense a theatre at Homburg, and lastly, at their own expense, in the city, an hospital for 150 sick paupe rs , and to have them constantly taken care of without any charge to the Government or city. However exorbitant these terms may appear to be, they have been accepted by Messrs. Blanc, upon the only condi tion that they may be allowed to form a joint-stock com pany, with a capital of 3,900,000 francs, to be divided into 3,000 shares of 1,300 francs each, which condition the Go vernment has acceded to." Madrid papers of the 29th ult. have arrived. A Ministry is at length formed, under the Presidency of tho Duke DE SOTOMAYOR. The following is its com position:— The Duke DE SOTOMAYOR President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. BRAVO MURILLO.... M. SEIZAS LOZANO M. RocA DE TAGORES Public Instruction. M.

There is to be a debate on the subject of the Mort pensier marriage after all. M. GUIZOT'S refusal to dis cuss the matter on Tuesday, his appeal to the patriotism of the Opposition, was merely a trick, quite worthy cf the other tricks which M. GUIZOT has practised in re lation to these marriages. The object of this trick was discovered on Wednesday, when the Journal des _Mats and the Presse raised a song of triumph over the Opposition pretending that they felt themselves beaten, that they did not dare to attack M. GUIZOT on the sub ject of the marriages, and that the silence of M. TRIERS was a tacit admission of the injustice of the charges brought by the Constitutionnel. On the meeting of the Chamber M. TRIERS stated that he should have spoken en the subject of the marriages but for the appeal made to his patriotism by M. GUIZOT, and the declaration by the Minister of the inconvenience which would attend the discussion. M. GUIZOT then rose, and with mar vellous effrontery denied that he had made any appeal on the subject, denied that he had attempted to stop the discussion, denied that he had ever said the discussion would be inconvenient, de clared that he had never seen any inconvenience in a moderate debate, but added, that as he had not been attacked, he did not see any reason to provoke discus sion. This brought up M. CREMIEUX, who reminded the Minister that his speech, upon the conclusion of which, on Tuesday, M. GUIZOT had made his remark able declaration, had been one continued attack on the Government. It was finally arranged that the discus sion should take place on Thursday, and that M. Limns should begin. A discussion followed on the Cracow question, and the ambiguous words of M. G trtzcer's pro test are made use of in the Address :—"La France deiire sineirement le respect de l'independence des eats, et le maintion des engagemens, dont aucune puissance ne peut s'affranchir, sans en affranchir en memo temps les autres." These words are purposely ambiguous. They contain an arriere pence, and are intended to be a covert re pudiation on the part of France of the Treaty of Vienna, to be referred to as such whenever the day shall arrive in which she shall find herself strong enough to carry out her ambitious views of aggrandisement at the ex pense of her neighbours; indeed, M. VITET, the re porter of the Address, characterised it as a protest for the past and a reserve for the future —a description, the truth of which was confirmed by M. GunoT. The sitting was enlivened by a Radical speech from M. DE GENOUDE, the Legitimatist, which so horrified the other members of the party, that they have excommunicated the culprit. On Thursday the discussion on the Montpensier mar riage was commenced by M. TRIERS, who was speaking when the post left, at which time he had been addressing the Chamber for three hours. He went fully into the question of the negotiations which had preceded the marriage, and declared that he bad read with attention all the documents, and he gave it as his solemn convie tion that the Whigs had not in the least deviated from the engagements entered into by their predecessors. In every respect had they been faithful to the principles laid down by England as agreed to with Lord ABER DEEN. Here the Honourable Member dwelt for some time upon Lord ABERDEEN'S letter to the Due DE SOTOMAYOR, Lord COWLEY'S dispatch of the 13th of July, and Lord PALMERSTON'S letter to Mr. BULWER of the 19th of July, arguing that Lord PALMERSTON had done nothing more than had Lord ABERDEEN. It was, however, in consequence of that dispatch of the 19th July, that M. GtizoT con sidered himself relieved from his engagements. What was more, the; correspondence between Lord PALstEns TON and M. GuizoT continued after this date, and his Lordship reiterates and confirms anew his declaration, that Don Ihuinx appeared to him the fittest candidate for the hand of the QUEEN. How did M. GUIZOT reply ? Let us, said he, unite our efforts in favour a Don HENRI; and in conformity therewith, Mr. BULWER receives orders to use his efforts in favour of Don LIENRI. On the 22d of August, both Cabinets are in accordance, or, at least, appear to be. How ever, Count BRESSON, at Madrid, is acting in a very different sense. In London, it was said, Count BRESSON was acting horrors —at Paris he was said to have been doing wonders. He was, however, not capable of doing either one or the other-- Count BRESSON had just executed the orders he had received. On the 28th August the marriages were decided at Madrid. He approved of the QUEEN'S mar riage, but certainly that of the Due DE MONTPENSIER together s s e was not, in a politica l point of view, worth the sacrifi ce of the English all iance. " Yo u have," said M. TRIERS, "given given England a check ; but , mark my words, you will have to pay for i t." He proceeded to observe upon on both marriages theasserin that a asser tion, he said, was not su pp orte d by the official docu ments. M. TRIERS thea condemned the policy pur sued ; in his opinion the marriage of the two sisters with both brothers would have been best. Passing from the policy of the question to the procedes observed, he declared that they were abominable. The French Cabinet, in the first p lace, was wan ting in frankness , Having decided upon escaping from its engagements, it continued negotiations commenced under the emprise of those engagements. Want of frankness was particu larly manifested in M. GUIZOT'S interview with Lord NORMANDY. The Opposition journals make some strong remarks on the explanation given by M. GUIZOT on Wednesday of his conduct on Tuesday, which explanation they con sider an insult to those Members who had addressed the Chamber before hi. GIJIZOT made his remarkable de claration. The Gout/Vitt/ouzel says— " M. Guizot did not perceive that he only defended the self-love of the anther at the expense of the statesman. It was thought on Tuesday that M. Guizot, in presence of the difficulties of the situation, and not to add to its gravity, found it inconvenient to speak, and demanded the suppres sion of the discussion as a concession, as a desire which every one felt to see peace confirmed. Yesterday, M. Guizot himself declared that he wanted to avoid the trouble of replying to adversaries who were not worthy of him. This was strongly shown by MM. Berryer and Cremieux, who pointed out how unbecoming was the explanation given by 111. Guizot of his declaration of the day before. But M. Thiers had another duty—to take formal note of the reiterated de claration of M. Guizot that he had not appealed to any one; that he saw no inconvenience in the discussion taking place, but he was unwilling to commence it; that he had taking a pre cautionfor himself, and not for the country. In consequence of that assertion, the motives which had determined the Opposition to guard silence existed no longer, and M. Thiers announced that he intended fulfilling the new duty thus imposed on him by the declaration just made by: M. Guizot. The representative Government is one of discussion, and it is important with the dignity of the assembly that the gravest questions that have been examined since 1830 should be completely discussed. This is what M. Thiers expressed amidst the applause of the whole Chamber." We read in the Quotidienne:—" Our number of yes terday was seized at the post-office, and in our bureaux.

The Cotton market at Liverpool has receded about %d. per lb. for American sorts, during the present week. Brazils, Egyptians, and Surat have been steady. The quantity sold has been 27,040 bales, of which 7,800 American were taken on speculation. The stock is 449,410 bales against 867,410 bales at this time last year. The average consumption per week this year has been 17,226 bales, while last year to the same date it was 32 , 582 bales, a striking result of the effect of high prices. The speculative purchases this year have increased, on the other hand, by 26,800 bales. These are facts worth know ing, and will be appreciated accordingly by reflecting in dividuals. The Share Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather firmer. A great many Railway Shares were disposed of at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s public sale yesterday, and prices were considered firm, although no great advance was noticeable. The following are a few of the principal sales : East Indian ...

Other securities, decrease, 383,5851. Notes, decrease, 463,6151. Although the exchanges were rather firmer yesterday afternoon, the exports of bullion are known to be large this week, at least half a million sterling, and the arrivals of grain continue large, as well indeed as of other provisions. There is nothing of particular novelty in the advices from New York. The banks are stated to be in a healthy condi tion, and trade wos active as might be expected with such large exports. The Public Securities have been exceedingly quiet this morning. Consols realise 91 to 91% for transfer and the account day. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been firm, at 4s. to 7s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 92% to 93 1 / 8 . Bank Stock is firm, at 203 to 204. Mexican Stock is still rather in favour, under the im pression that the mediation of our Government will be of fered. The Active Bonds are 22 3 / 4 to 23%. Spanish Three per Cents. are supported at 34%. Dutch Four per Cents. have been quoted 92% to 92%. The Share Market is rather more buoyant. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Since the first introduction of British authority into Hindostan, since the warlike achievements of the great 'OLIVE, the gigantic peculations of WARREN HASTINGS, and the insidious intrigues of Sir ELIJAH harm., there has been a perpetual clamour as to the morality of our advance in that quarter of the Asiatic continent. Rising and sinking by turns, according as it was influenced by the progress of arms or diplomacy in our Oriental possessions, that clamour has now gained and now lost proselytes among the credulous and the undiscerning. First our ears were stunned with lamentations upon the questionable principles by which the Government of Bombay was actuated, then upon the " drilling rain" of bullets at Laswarrie, then upon the carnage of Seringapatam, then upon the insecurity of our alliances, with wail ings, in fact, .upon all the diversities of ill which could possibly arise from the occupation of such remote and enormous territories. One after another have these bugbears of the imagination been raised by a designing clique, for the purpose of frightening the mother-country, either into a diminution of her enterprise or into an absolute abandonment of her Eastern dominions. It was hoped, doubtless, that these dismal pictures of British India would be effectual in paralyzing wholesome speculation, in rousing the wrath of the godly, and in thwarting to a considerable extent the zeal of the promoters of a more extended civilisation. In some measure that evil wish has un doubtedly been realised ; in some measure the indig nation of the more enlighted, but happily most help less, religionists has been excited ; in some measure the good-will of a minority has been diverted from our Oriental engagements. It is a merciful dispensation, however, that in political administration, as well as in mercantile undertakings, the good-will and the stock in trade are two very different things. And thus in spite of all the howlings of bigotry, of ignorance, of timidity, and of a shameless and odious antagonism to the great and beneficent spirit of Progress, the germ of civili sation, first planted on the Asiatic soil by a boatful of English merchants has sprung up, has extended its branches, has multiplied itself, in short, like that beautiful tree of the Hindoos which sends down its pendant twigs to take fresh root in the earth, and gives forth in time a fresh trunk and fresh boughs- The whole history of British India, in fact, from the mere contemplation of the original settlement down to the deposition of LALL SINGH, the Vuzeer of Lahore, is a repetition, turn by turn, of miserable prophecies and their brilliant ' non fulfilment. Obloquy without stint has been cast upon the Executive, and contempt upon the Administrative in Bombay, and the subordinate officers in every department, and under almost every circum stance, have been partakers of these gratuitous ban quets of vituperation. Ever since the first occupation of Sinde Sir CHARLES NAPIER has, more or less, come in for his share of abhorrence and misrepresentation. Latterly the reproaches upon his original seizure of that terri • ritory, and upon his subsequent administration of its affairs, have been uttered more lavishly than hereto fore. There has been an increasing outcry against the unremunerative character of the newly-acquired province, against the expulsion of its venerable and virtuous Princes, against its insufficiency as a barrier between ourselves and the predatory inhabitants of Beloochistan, or even between ourselves and the miniature district of Cutch Gundava: Nor did these comprise the whole of the aspersions uttered in relation to Sinde. Discredit was thrown upon the military skill and administra tive capacity of his Excellency Sir CHARLES NAPIER. It must be perfectly familiar to our readers that, from the original investment and occupation of Sinde, we have resolutely controverted these arguments and scouted these aspersions; that The Sun has continued to maintain the integrity of the Governor of Sinde, and the advantages accruing to us from the possession of the province of Sinde ; that we have done this, moreover, while the rest of the press was unanimous in aspersing the one and contemning the other. It is, consequently, with peculiar satisfaction that we find our able and distinguished Contemporary, the Times, avowing, at last, the insufficiency of these de preciatory attacks upon the conqueror and Governor of Sinde. It is an example of magnanimity deserving all honour and imitation ; and how immeasurably the reverse of a merely shameful recalcitration ! We are, nevertheless, in no degree surprised at this acknowledgment ; we were too fully convinced that magna est veritas et prevalebit to credit the continuance of these idle and baseless charges. A territory such as Sinde cannot be spurned by a few arithmetical fallacies ; nor can a man like Sir CHARLES NAPIER be deprived of public respect and national admiration by a visionary ru mour, an insidious libel. Another of the execrable scarecrows which have been raised by the enemies of the British sway in Asia is to the effect that, by instructing and im proving the indigenous population of those parts, we should be raising up for ourselves enemies, against whom opposition must ultimately be useless. In other words, the truths of Christianity and the data of human knowledge are dragon's teeth starting up into armed men Can anything be more monstrous than this? As if the development of the mental faculties necessitated the corruption of the moral, as if education vitiated into unnatural enmity instead of fostering to fraternal friendship, as if the advancement of civilisation did not ensure the retrogression of war, as if religion and science originated hatred and blood shed. This fear of producing to ourselves foes in the Asiatic tribes by imparting to them the blessings of civilisation is nothing less than the ghost of the feudal system. That ghost may like, its brethren, "revisit the glimpses of the moon," but it is too unsubstan tial to emerge unscathed into the daylight. But a short while since the number was not small of those who were ready to carp at the Government for not having introduced a paragraph into the Royal Speech in reference to national education. The con clusion was immediately and invidiously drawn, that upon a question of such general interest the Cabinet were altogether indifferent. We entertained a dif ferent opinion, which has received confirmation by what transpired last evening in the House of Lords. The - Marquis of LANSDOWNE, whilst laying upon the table minutes relative to education, recently sanc tioned by h er M AJESTY ' S C omm i ttee of the P r i vy Council, _ ori embraced th e opportun i ty o f mak i ng the i r Lordships the ds h '' and c T le h a e r the country acqua i n t e d w i t h th e v i ews portion o f public h G ov ernment upon a matter to which of late s o large a statementproofof he otf the attentionPresidentofatshebecenouantetrilacitseda. unremitted assiduity .d with which the Executive have d evote d their m education. sto th e in teresting topic of nation a l The Ooveril- QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) PERJURY-THE QUEEN V. MARY DIXON. This was an indictment for perjury alleged to have been committed by the defendant in an affidavit in the Court of Chancery with respect to certain proceedings stated to have taken place at a public house called the City Arms, Millbank, Poplar, on the 28th of January, last year. The house was kept by a person named Newman, who, it appeared, lived with the defendant, and on the day in question, as he was about to part with the house to Messrs. Reid and Co., the brewers, Mrs. Newman, who had separated from him the preceding month, went there with her solicitor, Mr. Masterman, for the purpose of defending her inte rests and those of her child. She found her husband inebriated in the bar parlour, in the company of Mrs. Dickson and her brother, whose name was Banks. Mr. Noble, who was related to her by mar,riage, shortly after wards came in. A deal of recrimination ensued. Shortly after Dixon and Banks left. Mrs. Newman afterwards received a cheque of 560/. from the brewer's clerk, on the understanding that it was to be paid on the following day. They came at one o'clock, and left about eight in the evening. It was not, however, paid, as Messrs. Reid declined to cash it without her husband's sanction. A bill was subsequently filed in Chancery by Mr. Noble, as ulrs. Newman's next friend, seeking that Court to interfere its authority to prevent the payment of the money to Mr. New man, on the ground that he was not in a fit condition to ma nage his affairs—but the bill was dismissed with costs, principally on account, it was contended, of the affidavit filed by the defendant. It stated that on the day in question, Mrs. Newman poured neat spirits down her husband's throat with the view of making him insensible, and that she (Mrs. Dixon) knocked a glass of spirits, which she had drawn for that purpose out of her hand, and that Mrs. Newman whispered to Mr. Noble to let her husband have whatever drink he wanted. Mrs. Newman positively denied the truth of these state ments, and added that Mrs. Dixon poured neat spirits down her husband's throat, and that she knocked a glass of spirits out of her hand which she had drawn for that purpose. Mr. Noble, a linen-draper, in Shoreditch, stated that New man was in an insensible state, and that Mrs. Dixon poured some gin down Newman's throat; she held his head back, and some went down his throat and the remainder on his clothes. Mrs. Newman did not whisper to him in the way mentioned. Mr. Masterman, and Mr. Filmore, the brewer's clerk, cor. roborated this evidence. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant C. JONES then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the defendant. He said he hoped his Lordship would excuse his imperfect knowledge of the proceedings of the Court of Chancery. Lord DENMAN—I don't know that you ought to state that. You ought to know, and I am sure you do know, the pro ceedings of that Court. Mr. Sergeant Jones consulted the attorney. Lord DENMAN—That is not the proper way to conduct a case; it is very improper for a counsel to receive instruc tions from an attorney in Court. It is a very growing practice, and a very improper one, and it is one that the gentlemen of the bar ought to put down. I have frequently seen them spoil the case and ruin the cases of their clients by so doing. They don't understand that it is a great liberty. When a gentleman of the bar is addressing the Court, somebody tells that gentleman something which prevents him from going on with his address. Such conduct is quite inconsistent with decent manners and pro per conduct ; it is easy to give suggestions without doing this. Mr. Sergeant JONES, after apologising, addressed the jury and contended that even the statements in the affidavit, sup posing them to be true, could have had little influence on the suit, and that it was possible the defendant might have been mistaken. They had failed to prove that New man was unable to manage his affairs. It was equally possible that Newman asked for the spirits, and that Mrs. Dixon bad simply supplied him with them ; but he should prove that the defendant did all she could to induce Newman not to drink, as the parties had come there pur posely to intoxicate him, and to get the money from him. Aperson named Harris, who was formerly in the service of Newman as a barman, swore that he did not see Mr. Dixon pour spirits down his throat, and that both Mrs. Newman and Mr. Noble did all theycould to induce Newman to drink. The defendant knocked a glass of spirits out of Mrs. New man's hand, which he bad drawn for her husband who was quite sober, and who was not in the habit of taking more drink than other gentlemen. Newman himself deposed that he was quite sober at the time, that Dixon did all he could to induce him not to drink, and that both his wife and Mr. Noble did all they could to induce him to take brandy and water, in order to get his money from him. Mrs. Dixon knocked a glass of spirits out of Mrs. Newman's hand, and Mrs. Newman one out of hers, with which she was serving a customer. She took 8001. from him, and had him left at the Three Nuns, in Ald gate, with 11 1 41. in his pocket. He admitted he was in toxicated at that time. A Mrs. Gillham, who had been in his service, corroborated this evidence. Lord DKxit&N, in summing up, said Mr. Noble was to blame for filing the hill in Chancery, as it appeared that Newman instead of being insane from drink, was an acute and sensible man. It seemed very remarkable that Newman so easily parted with the cheques. The jury found the defendant Guilty. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The Court was engaged to-day with a special jury case, arising out of a dispute with the Sun Insurance Company as to the amount which ought to be paid to an insurer for damage done by fire. The case presented no point whatever of any interest to the public. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE GILLIAM. This bankrupt had cat;iedlOnTlSiness as a jewel-case maker, in Frith-street, Soho, and having filed his own petition, came up to pass his last examination. His HONOUR observed, that in this case the balance-sheet, if such it could be called, commenced on the Ist of January 1844, with a capital of 4361. ; his debts . 1 .504/., liabilities, 161/., the assets not being enough to pay the expenses of the fiat, his property consisting of pawnbrokers' duplicates, the official assignee stating that he had net bees able to collect any of the debts, nor likely to do so. This was, as of nine out of ten of the cases which now came before the court—a case in which the bankrupt filed his own petition, and had not a single farthing for his creditors. In such a case he would not grant the certificate. On this subject, and in cases of insolvency where the insolvent had no assets, he bad to make some observations on the application hitherto of the statute in regard to them. His Honour then proceeded to say that a petition had been filed by a person named Baum, and he bad not any estate to be administered by this court. and it was such a case as he had alluded to. His Honour said the frequency of petitions of this kind, and the mischief which arose induced him to look carefully over the Acts, and he had been assisted by the suggestions of his friend and brother Commissioner, Mr. Ellison, of Newcastle. on-Tyne, who had adopted in his Court the course he (his Honour) would now point out. His honour then read the petition, which was in the form prescribed in the schedule of the Act ith and Bth Victoria, in which is a clause in which the in solvent says that he is desirous that his estate should be administered under the direction of this Cuurt, and that the same amounted to not less than Now in this, as in a great many other cases, the blank was filled up 0 0 0, this was a gross perversion of the Act, and a mere mockery. How could the Court distribute "nothing." It was not within the meaning of the Legislature that persons who had not a farthing for their creditors should come before this Court, which had not the power of inflicting a direct and intelligible punishment, for by these acts the rights of the creditors were taken away without an equivalent. In such cases he should refuse, unless good reason was shown that he was wrong, granting in solvents the relief they sought, but leave them to apply to the Court of Insolvency,, which had the power to punish the guilty and acquit the innocent. His Honour then referred to the cases in which the petitions were filed by the bankrupts who had no assets, and said that in those cases the object of the Act was departed from, the principal of the bankrupt law being the fair and equal di3tri bution of the bankrupt's estate and effects ; and the bank rupts appeared to think that in going through the necessary forms he acted in " conformity with the law, but he had only half done so, not having placed any assets for the benefit of his creditors, but had either squandered it away or given it to some favoured creditor. Under those circumstances, also, he should hold that the statute had not been complied with, and should leave the parties to seek the relief and meet the punishment which the Court of Insolvency could, ac cording to its opinion, inflict. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY). PULLING NosEs IN COURT.—A young man of highly re spectable appearanoe, named Harris, was charged before Mr. Greenwood w ith assaulting Mr. Robert Hobbs and pulling his nose in the passages of this court. From the evidence of the prosecutor, who stated himself to be a private gentleman residing upon his own income in Calthorpe-street, it appeared that on Monday last a charge was preferred by him against the defendant for having knocked at his door, and, as is often the case in such charges, the usual threats of indictments for perjury were bandied between the parties before they left the presence o f the Magistrate. The moment they got into the passage, close by the door, and almost before it was closed, the de fendant stopped short suddenly, and after calling him a number of opprobrious names, caught him by the nose and gave it three or four sharp twinges, which nearly brought tears into his eyes. The defendant denied having pulled the complainant's nose, but acknowledged that atter he (the complainant) had called him a liar and scoundrel, and paid him many similar compliments, be shook his hand in his face, but never touched him. After evidence was called for the defence, Mr. GREENWOOD said it had been proved that a very serious contempt of the Court had been committed. It was a great presumption on the part of the defendant to commit such an act almost in the presence of the magistrate, and he should fine the defendant 405., and in default of payment, commit him for a month to the House of Correction. The fine, as a matter of course, was immediately paid, and the defendant left the Court. RE-APPEARANCE OF THE POTATO DISEASE.—At the ordinary meeting of the Botanical Society of London, held last evening at the Society's rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Covent-garden, J. Reynolds, Esq , Treasurer, in the chair, Mr. Barnes, of Sidmouth, exhibited numerous specimens of diseased potatoes, which were of this year's early crop. Mr. Barnes could find no potato free from the disease, and he was afraid it would be more serious than last year. THE DEER IN WINDSOR GREAT PARK.--PRESEN TATIONS TO TUB POOR OF ‘Virrosoa.—lt has just been deter mined by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, as the Ranger of Windsor Great Park, to cause a considerable decrease in the number of deer in the royal domains at Windsor; the quantity which is intended to be killed and given to the poor of the five parishes surrounding the Park being i 6. LEICESTER TRADE.—The general trade is flat. In Spring gloves and cotton hose there are orders in the market at old prices; but we believe that the new rat es of thread and cotton could not be realized. Wools and yarns remain firm, but without alteration.—Leicestershire Mercury. ~,p. AMERICAN NEWS. LATER AND IMPORTANT FROM DSEXIC° AND THE UNITED STATE S. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY NIGHT. The splendid and really fast-sailing New Y( sit packet ship Yorkshire, Captain Bailey, has just an ived here from that city, after a passage of twenty d 'aye. She brings papers to the 17th ultimo,' four days later than the accounts already received via Havre. The chief item of important intelligence is that to the war with Mexico. We take the follow; ng sum' mary of news from one of the New York Pal ter 3 just received:— " The great topic of interest here, and possibly Saab as and as connected with the war between the Uniteu s off Mexico, has been for some time to ascertain t MT' '„, - ;11 v , the Mexican Congress; as to the pacific overture is I ° l in lump?, eating made by thi3 country. We have information of t ye of the Mexican Congress on the 4th ult., but up to which dates from the capital have been re I:o l ,, ed ' n o : direct reference seems to have been made to this saiject,.th that a previous rumour which obtained general en del` r 4021 us, that the Congress had refused to entertain any preP s ", - D e from our side while the American soldiers remah ted 4 3 ? t er 815th, soil, and American cruisers off the ports of Me., :icor 1 1 Psi? founded. But the Congress is said to have declare for , Anna as President, and this would seem to give author i ty to the language of that personage in his last letter to Genera!' Taylor, in which he expresses the decided op inion tbo Mexico will never treat for peace while the enet ey's toe„,P s occupy her soil. A few days more will probably g eve Po x "' - intelligence on this point. "The solicitude telt here for some days past fe t the fate of General Worth's corps in the advanced post S altillo, Me naced by a much larger force of Mexicans from San Luis de Potosi, was relieved this morning by the intelligence the!' instead of striking at Saltillo, this Mexican fc a re had SW vanced towards Parras, in the expectation pro/ *My of sir prising General Wool who had occupied tha t place, but who, it now seems, in obedience probably to an terior orders, had united his detachment with that of Gene ral Worth Saltillo. General Twiggs and also General C pitman, wit h their respective commands, had reached Salt illo, and the combined force would be able to hold that ph ge—if proms' sions and water fail not—against any attack. Meantim e General Patterson had reached Victoria, and I 1/1.18 shut uP the pass from the sea-board to San Luis. " Major-General Scott had embarked on th' Rio Grande for Camargo, and would probably assume the co nimend' ill.. chief on reaching there, acting therein in per fat harmony • with General Taylor, who, we are quite sale Ii 1 assumel l 4l instead of desiring to be relieved and return home, erhi cheerfully co•operate with his senior officer it .nd friend, General Scott, in all places and movements - for the good of the service. " On the Gulf coast another blow has beers al slick at the resources of Mexico by the capture of Lagur ca d e 100 Tenni' nos, in the provinces of Tobasco, and of so me cannon and munitions of war there. "In the Congress of the United States , amid a good deal of animated discussion about the origin and conduct of the war, but one opinion prevails as to propriety and necessity, now we are in, of fighting it out, and men and money will be freely voted. Already A Bill br raising tea new regiments of regulars has passed LL'e Hot tse, and bob been promptly taken up in the Senate. A nothe r Bill autho• rising a bounty of 12 dolls. to each enlists , 1 ass n had prin't' ously been passed, and is now the law, and rem-Luting unde r it has commenced. " There is more difficulty about money t hart about wen . The state of the Stock Market, in which tt se -United States Six per Cent. Stock list issued, is selling it 97 or three per cent. under par, combined with the infix name of the sub treasury law, which requires that all pay] wants to the Or vernment shall be in coin, operate strongly against the PO' sibility of effecting any new loan at or near par for a six Po cent. stock. In order to obviate these diffi tattles a Bill re' ported from the Committee of Ways tine I Means is nel before the House of Representatives, author Lying the issue 0 twenty-one millions of Treasury notes, i a sums of fro° 50 dolls. to 100 dolls., bearing six per ce at, interest, pay' able at the end of two years, or with I ;he privilege , the option of the holder, of being exchan ged' for a six P°'• cent. stock having twenty years to run—the se notes to be transferable by endorsement, and receivAbie :for all dues to the United States, and the proceeds from th e sales of the public lands, which average some two mil limos to two and a half million of dollars, to be specially ph edged for paying the interest on these notes, which, moreover, may,he re - iss ued at pleasure, so that the whole amount in cu talation at 1 0 1 one time does not exceed the original sum :.of tiventy-000 millions. "This issue, it is thought, if sanctioned:. by Congree, will find favour with the public, as offering - :a safe irrves," - ment for surplus funds, of which a large at no .unt is on de' posit in the various banks, with all the ch an ces of a ve ° in the United Six per Cent. Stock, which th e restoration of peace in the intermediate time could not; -lan to brief* Being transferable, moreover, by endorsement;a, and issued 11 ! small sums, they will constitute a valuable as d conven iesb currency. " The effect upon the general currency and business hi .; terests , of such an absorption of the capital us= slly employn in commerce, may indeed be prejudicial. Yet. even this 0 ; would be much mitigated, if a large portion of • the issue in notes of small denomination, which in that et Lso would P from hand like bank notes. "At any rate this seems the moat, if not the only feasibl e ~cpt to plan for raising money, and what is hardly less or the Administration, of avoiding the imposition of taxes, the augmentation of duties." lti Resnectiag the commercial news, we find tho a paper of much repute is New York.

Th ell has been a strong effort to-day to sustain pric es, but all agr „ _.7 that the fall must continue, though, of co urse, temporal, rallies will occur. Messrs.
