A4O the whole responsibility of the proceedings on Lord J• RUSSELL, which had begun, he said, in indiscretion, had been carried on with pusillanimity, and would end in defeat. Mr. JOHN JONES thought Mr. STOCKDALE an in jured man, and that the Judges shook' be proceeded against if he were. Lord TEIGNMOUTH gloried in upholding the privi leges of the House, and should be proud of his votes in their favour on the hustings. Mr:FRESHFIELD denied the necessity of indiscriminate publication, and could not vindicate the exercise of that privilege. Mr. HUME, as the Member who proposed the resolu tion for printing the papers of the House, defended that course, and hoped the House would never rescind that resolution. He voted against the Sheriffs with reluc tance ; but he had hitherto approved of the course which the House had followed, and he should continue to support it. The RECORDER, wish considerable warmth, impugned the proceedings of the privilee party, and called on the House to pause, and not to sacri6ce the liberties of the people in imprisoning Magistrates elected by them, and who had equally well performed the duties they bad sworn to perform, both to the people and the Sovereign. Mr. EARLE went at great length into the whole sub ject of law and privilege and contended that from the conduct of the Judges in former times, and from the mode of conducting actions in Courts of Law, the House could not with safety submit its privileges to the deci sion of any Courts. He contended that the law of Par liament was the law of the land, and that the Sheriffs had not done their duty by violating the law of Par liament. Mr. D'IsitIELI said, if the Judges had formerly strained the law against privileges, so in the same pe nod, the reign of CHARLES 1., had the Commons ex tended their privileges to a most mischievous length. They had tortured persons in the name of privilege, sequestered property, and voted money into their own purses. He feared the tyranny of pri vilege, and stood up for the law. The ques tion at isssue really was whether they would suspend the Habeas Corpus Act, for by committing these gentlemen without any trial, they would have no power to sue out their Habeas, and procure their freedom. He reprobated in strong terms both the folly and the tyranny of the whole proceeding. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT took the same side, and especially condemned the conduct of the House of Commons, because it was the appointed guardian of the liberties of the people, and, therefore, like Macbeth when he murdered Duncan, it committed a double crime. The Hon. Baronet spoke with all his former warmth, and all his former rambling ; and in the course of his oration, unfortunately for himself, made an uncalled-for attack on Mr. O'CONNELL. At the same time he denounced, in the strongest terms the resolutions of the House, and declared against privilege. He called on the House to define and settle their privileges by law. Mr. O'CONNELL, in a short and good humoured speech, quoted the Hon. Baronet's observations in sup port of the resolutions passed last Session in Mr. Polack's case, for which the Hon. Bart. had voted, and is. favour of which he had spoken. Mr. O'CoN NELL'S showing up of "the faded beau" told well in the House, and excited some boisterous merriment. On a division Mr. KELLY'S motion was lost by 99 to 210. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved that the Sheriffs be committed to the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, which, after a short speech from Mr. KEMBLE and from Mr. GODSON, was carried by 195 to 94. Lord JOHN afterwards explained that he had been improperly called the prosecutor in this case. 1 - La bad only presented Messrs. HaNsatto's petition, which he thought was his duty. The Under-Sheriff iwas discharged on his motion ; on his motion, also, 1 Mr. HOWARD, STocKDALE's attorney, was called to the bar. On the first question being put, Mr. LAW objected to proceeding at that late hour. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN was against punishing the attorney, as they had not attacked the counsel. He announced his intention of moving, at •a fu ,::‘re time that the Sheriffs be discharged. Atic! a short but warm debate, in which were re peated calls to era!' and some personalities, expressed his willingness to Lord JOHN 17 """ p7o ceedings till this evening. postpone further `hat Mr. Howard attend He according moved , was met by a motion the House this evening. This Al 3 to .evenin 1 13. Mr. for adjournment, which was lost by HOWARD was ordered to at tend the House Ig, at the same time the a nti- p rivile g e party de:dared. that they would give the further proceedings C.i the privilege party all the opposition in their power. On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE, a Committee was appointed to inquire into Railways. The motion occasioned a brief conversation on the propriety of not allowing steam-engines to run on the Sabbath. Pro bably the Saints will soon pass a law to prevent fire from burning, and water from boiling on that day. The House adjourned at Half-past One o'Clock. Sir ROBERT INGLIS asked, the night before last, whether the Judges would not call on the Sheriffs to raise the posse comitatus in defence of the r.osins against the House of Commons. He warned .416 _House that the Judges would be attended in t..4("Ph by hundreds of the gentry, and by thousands god tens of thousands of the middle classes of the' country. The gentlemen who spoke on the other sLle were equally emphatic as to the power of the Co'ruli-'ons, and equally sure that they will be supportej by 1 tl.e po)ular voice. Sir ROBERT PEEL called on' dis co repre sentatives ill most impressive langt,"YS not to degenerate from their ancestors, and never t 0 b. ban don the privileges handed to them. Calm anf l d'` - passionate observers, belonging neither to the Cou.' ls nor to the House of Commons, will be apt to infer from such language that both these bodies are quarrelling, not which of them shall do most good to the people, but which of them shall have and retain most power over them. It is quite possible that the people may dis appoint the expectations of both. Remembering that one has been only distinguished for making, during a long period, a multitude of bad, oppres sive, and cruel laws, and that the other has been equally distinguished for administering those op pressive laws in an oppressive manner, and making bad laws where they did not before exist, the people may look on this quarrel, according to a well-known adage, with much complacency, and calculate on many advantages from the mutual dis sensions of Parliament and the Courts of Law. Neither the Legislature nor the judicial power can now afford wantonly to cast away any of the respect which yet lingers for it in the public mind, and if the two bodies which, united, can scarcely hold their own against the onward march of human intelligence, were to view matters less through the medium of blind and arrogant passion, they would probably conclude,, that the wisest course for them is, to huddle up their differences as quickly as possible, and conceal them, with the utmost care, from the prying eyes of Chlrtists, Democrats, and Republicans. Sir R. INGLIS seems to have some foreboding of an unhappy fate, for he conjured the House not to hasten the decay of authority, rapidly running to dissolution, and the disasters that are impending over the country, by bringing discredit on the Courts of Law. Sir ROBERT seems to suppose that the Judges, with their accumulated fictions, and all the grim gibber of Westminster Hall, are extremely popu- 1 ler in the nation. They will be followed, the Hon. Baronet thinks, by tens of thousands in triumph. Where will they be gathered from ? Let the Hon. Baronet read the letter, signed " A Traveller," in our paper, and ask himself whether the middle classes dare now—such is the condition to which England has been reduced by the long dominion of cant and hypocrisy—of Corn-law -making land lo7ds and poverty-preaching Bishops—leave their homes by tens and hundreds of thousands for any such idle pagea n t r y ? The police, the yeo manr y , the militia, and t h e army altog ether , make a poor and wretched sub s ti tute f ora con tented and an affectionate people ; an d were the Judges to be con veyed to the Tower to-morrow the gentry and the middle classes would not, for fear of the conse quences, congregate in hundreds and thousands to do them honour. If they could amuse the people at the same time, as by a Coronation show, they be at ease themselves ; but with the i g and ht fictions of the law, and with those who administer it, the multitude have no sympathies, and the ge ntry and middle - classes would no more hazard a gre at public gathering on their account , than th ey now like to call public meetings. Nor is the House of Commons more popular than the Judges. There are individuals in that House who can influence thousands, and even mil lions, but not in favour of privilege, nor in favour of the House collectively. Why, it is so con temned and derided, that the multitude throughout the land refuse to petition it. All respect and affection for it are extinguished. It has been made palpably and painfully apparent, that it is not the true and faithful guide whom the people seek, and willingly follow. The power it yet retains is de rived from habits which are passing away, from prejudices and opinions which are dying out, and whenever the time comes that it must appeal, in any conflict with the other powers and authorities of r 1 b~e U .L LONDON : WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1840. In the House of Lords, last night, a Bail for naturalizing Prince Albert was read a second time ; ad the Standing Orders having been suspended, it. gas .so read a third time, passed, and sent down to the douse of Commons. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition against ' ''.lrthergrants to Maynooth ; and the Duke of RICHMOND -ie trom persons in Scotland,complainingofthesuspension ,f their Ministers. On the latter Lord BROUGHAM made me observations insisting on the propriety of the law being obeyed till it was altered, and expressing regret that the conduct of certain parties in Scotland had, on this subject, disappointed his expectations. In answer to a question from Viscount STRANGFO RD, 7isc , mnt MELsouttilE said that he could not held out i aoy hope that the hostilities now carrying on in the R o a,.., la Plata, were likely speedily to terminate. On the motion of Lord BROUGHAM the Clpyhnld Enfranchisement Bill was read a second time. Toe f Bill is to be referred to a Select Committee. i Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow. In the Commons, besides petitions for private Bills, . netitions were presented front Monaghan against Orange ;iomination, and from the Clergy of Kent, probably of , = 'iiiterhury or that neighbourhood, as it was presentel S.r EDWARD KNATCLIBULL, for the increase of the , r t .i.o s of religious instruction.

Tl,e Privilege Question was again brought before the Mr. KELLY, in the first instance, presented petitions from the Sheriffs, expressing sorrow at ,laving incurred the displeasure of the House, and that e ru ughout they had acted with a view to obey the law. They further stated that were they to refund the money o Messrs. HANSARD, whieb has been levied from them, that the Court of Queen's Bench would compel them i 7) pay it in due course of time,or attach their goods and :owl them to prision, and they prayed that they .-sight not be punished for having acted according ! 'e law. Mr. KELLY subsequently rose to move that this petition be taken forthwith into considera tion. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman defended, and l astly eulogized the conduct of the Sheriffs and called the House to consider whether it would be right, j o e:, or constitutional to commit gentlemen to custody • had conducted themselves in a difficult situation with great prudence and care, and particularly as to morrow the distinct judgment of the law would be ob tained, which all the subjects of her Majesty were hound to obey. On the SPEAKER. intimating to the Hon. and Learned Member, that he could not make the motion be proposed, he altered it into a mo -1 Lion that the Sher.ffs be forthwith wiled to the bar and ri:scharged. ,Sir K. INGLis seconded the motion, and supported in a short speech, imploring the House not to come , 0 n u irrevocable decision, and not to visit with con the ministers of the law. con dign JOHN RUS S ELL regretted that be saw no roason to comply with the motion. The Sheriffs per sisted in justifying their conduct in opposition to the resolutions of the House. lie could not consent to ;,flow that the Court of Queen's Bench was superior to the House of Commons, or trust its privileges to their elecision. He hoped the Judges would coincide in o pinion witu Lord KENYON, and acknowledge the Dr.wileges of Parliament. He resisted the motion. A i r , M.

TRICOUPI and PItARMAKIDI, the zealous oppo nents of Russian domination in Greece, and the able advocates of the independence of the National Church, which the EMPEROR sought to govern through the agency of the Patriarch of Constantinople, the Impe rial Government has signified its approbation of the KING'S conduct by remitting him Russia's share of the third instalment of the Greek loan. Money is omni potent at the Court of King Otho ; and were it not for the presence of the English and French Ambassadors, who, fortunately for the independence of Greece, are united in their opposition to the sinister designs of the Russian fact ion, the kingdom would become a Russian province. The unhappy condition of ,Greece, governed by an idiot—a tact attested by the certificate of two physi cians—is greatly to he deplored. But England and France are competent to obtain some relief for the people, despite of the intrigues of Russia. Let them obtain a constitution for Greece agreeably to the guarantees g:ven by King arlio on his accession. This will be opposing some barrier to the tyranny of the Crown. By inserting on Monday the letter of " A Moral- Force Chartist," dated Sheffield, without comment, we by no means wish it to be understood that we as sent to his conclusions. At the same time, we do not intend to enter fully into the subject, but merely give such further illustrations of our opinion as may set us right with our readers. We are so thoroughly conscious of being the very antipodes of the Tories, that, though we hate the name as we do that of thief, we have not the least apprehension of being taken for Tories. Not withstanding, therefore, the accusation of our Correspondent, we must continue to advise the working classes, that the pursuit of the franchise is at present a vain chase. Nay, it is worse. Had they followed our advice last year, they would have made common cause with the Corn-law repeaters. If they had not then achieved that great object. they and the middle classes would have been united ; the latter would have been ready to go part of the way with the former, and the uuenfranchised would, we believe, have been saved from those violent courses which have armed the middle classes against them, and have brought iwny of their friends into serious trouble. They have, we are very much afraid, worked more mischief than this. We see, unhappily, many indications of a coercive spirit in the Government. The police is extending in all directions, and we should not be sur- COMMITTAL OF SEVEN SHEF FIELD CHARTISTS. We see from a second czlition of the Sheffield Indepen dent, published on Monday, that Clayton, Booker, jun., Marshall. Pcnthorpe, Bennison, jun., Wells, and Duffy. were all brought before the Magistrates at Sheffield, en menday, for final examination. Earl Fitzwilliam was one of the Magistrates present, and took an active part in the proceedings. Before the examination his Lordship in spected the weapons found on the prisoners. The evidence was taken at great length, when Mr. Parker, one of the Magistrates, addressing the prisoners, said, " You are charged with coaspiring together. with the intecaon of arming yourselves, anti saving recourse to arms to rezist i the civil authority, anti obtain an alteration of the existing laws. This is the nature of the conspiracy with which you are charged, and ,whioh you will have to answer. I have, therefore, to state to yog, that we shall order your commitments to be made out to York, Castle where you will be confined till ti,e Assizes, and thee ;:r;ed on this charge. Earl FITZWILLIAM then addressed them at some length, and among others made the following remarks Out of regard fee the peaceable inhabitants t felt it my duty to come down to this county and satisfy myself, by accurate i nspect i on and not by reports, what was that condition, and what that danger from which, on now coming here, I find we basic happily escaped.

Such is now the temper of the middle classes that measures of that description would, we are afraid, meet a ready acquiescence. We are far, very far indeed, from saying that any such measures can ever have our approbation. We make no excuse or apology for them, we merely state a fact when we say that alarm created by the violent language of some individuals will make coercive and restrictive measures acceptable to large numbers of the people. In politics and in legislation it is an axiom univer sally adopted, to consider abstract right in subser viency to the opinions, prejudices, feelings, and customs of the people. Now this maxim ought to be followed by Chartist politicians as well as aristo• crats, and by not following it in relation to that great portion of the community who differ from them, they have, we are afraid, done almost irre trievable mischief. With respect to the power which the franchise would give the people, we are not quite such dolts as to suppose that it would not give diem more in fluence over the election of Members to the House of Commons than at present, but whether it would give them more iri ue ice over the actual ma kin g o f 1 laws is a different quesL;orl, h e , h ave nothing to tbC middle classes with electing the Peers , neiller bll5, classes ; but a demonstration of popular the voice of the unenflanchised, has, before now, compelled the Peers to assent to a law; land will again, whenever it is strongly and :ao;tedly lifted up. Why the people have not haul more influence over the Legislature has ben owing to themselves. Up to a recent pe riod they have been, in general, blind adorers of rank, stupit: w orshippers of wealth, ready at any of a rich man or a noble time to follow I:te bidding man. As long as they felt in that manner the ex tension of the franchis! l amongst them only served to give a preponderance in the Legislature to men of rank and men of wealth ; and to that ignorance or folly of the people, as much as the grasping de sires of the noble and the we,:lthY, we owe the many wicker' laws which encumber the sZtote•book. Let but the people be awake, as we think they are awak ening, to the truth, let them see their true interest (:11 this point, and they will be able, we can assure them, to make their opinions be embodied into the laws, whether they go to the poll to say who shall be their representative in the House of Commons MONEY and COMIVIERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE' O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL: COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—The sales tc-day are 3 000 bales, at yesterday's prices. Owing to the boisterous state of the weather we are de prived of the usual foreign mails, as well as arrivals from other quarters, with the exception of those from the Cape of Good Hope, which bring accounts of the result in the Legislative Council of the &bate on the Bills of Exchange Ril! ; after several days' discussion on the subject, the 13i11 was withdrawn. Consols opened this morning at the quotations they left if yesterday, 90i 91 for Money, 91,E I for the Account, svarccly any thing doing, owing, no doubt, to the ' , f ea t seam* of intelligence from all quarters.

We by no means pretend to treat this very important question fully ; but, vitrlr the most earnest and sincere wishes for the welfare of the unenfranchised, we think we take a more cor rect view of it than those who direct their attention to obtaining :he Suffrage rather than to the means of exercising the power they now possess for their own benefit. If they had Universal Suffrage we are not acquainted with one measure they could command so pregnant with advantages as the repeal of all the taxes and prohibitions on the supply of food. The " Mora l- Force Chartist " differs from us in ..ur estimate of those immense advantages ; but, be they little or great, it suffices for our argument if it be admitted that the unenfranchised could, in the next six weeks, carry the repeal of the Corn-laws were they united. They have tried by themselves for the Charter , as Mr. HARRts said at the meeting of Delegates at Manchester on Tuesday, and have failed ; the middle classes tried by themselves for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and have failed ; let them now try united, first for this latter object, and the success and power of the unenfranchised will be manifest. We are not opposed to the extension of the cranchise, but we wish the Corn-laws to be repealed, as a step towards that end. We rejoiced, therefore, in the' great and noble meeting at Manchester, less even on account of the blow it gave to the bread tax. than on account of the unanswerable proof it su pplied, not to us, for we never doubted, but to the public at large, that the unenfranchised classes deserve the franchise as well as their more opulent brethren. The conduct of the French Government in pu nishing a Captain of the National Guards for read ing an address thanking the Members of the Elec toral Reform Committee for their exertions to obtain an extension of the franchise, appears to us exceedingly injudicious. We arc aware that ac cording to law the National Guards are forbidden to assume deliberative functions, except in the cha racter o f simple citizens ; that when wearing their uniform, and with arms in their hands, they are bound t o confine themselves to the maintenance of publicunarm unarmed, and order. But the N ational Guards who formed th e p rocess ion bearing th e address to the Member s o f t h e R e form Committe e, were wholl y it conducted oguthemselves in the most peaceable an d or d er ly manner. There was no out , rage, no viol a ti on o f the public peace; and in ndif in tl i r t e id y wore their uniform that it was the only protectionilttobe b they had against being charged by the police with being a gang of traitors and conspirators. Had they appeared with- QUEEN'S BENCH.-Cr HIS I)AY.) • (Sittings in Banco.) STOCKDALE HANSARD. A rule having been obtained in the course of the iast Term, calling upon the Sheriffs to show cause why they did not pay over to the plaintiff the damages levied in this action, Mr. RICHARDS, on behalf of the Sheriffs, proceeded to 0.-gu. , against the rule. He said the Sheriffs in the present case were placed in a very peculiar situation, having been com mitted by, the House of Commons for contempt, and he had an affidavit showing that they had been ordered by that House to refund the money. He, therefore, requested as an indulgence , that the Court, by not making this rule absolute , w ould I give them an opportuni!y of having the question decided by a higher tribunal—the House of Lords. He thought it hard that the Sheriffs should be called on to pay the money twice over. He further opposed the rule, because the She riffs had also been served with a novice from the Insolvent Debtors' Court, ordering them to pay the money into that Court for the use of Steckdale's assignees. On this ground, also, he submitted to the Court that the rule should not be made absolute. The Sheriffs had no other method of obtaining their liberty but by paying over the money, according to the order of the House of Commons • and he trusted that the Court would not allow its ministerial Officers to suffer in the trial of this great constitutional question. Mr. WATSON, on the same side, contended that Stockdale's rroper remedy was by action against the Sheriffs, when the question of right might he tried, and the Sheriffs would have an appeal if they felt themselves aggrieved. The object of this rule was to bring the Sheriffs into contempt of this Court, and to deprive them of all opportunity of having this question discussed. The resolution of the House of Commons called upon the Sheriffs to refund the money—(the Learned Counsel here read the resolutions.) There c'iuld be no doubt but that the House of Commons possessed great privileges,, and when the privileges were brought incidentally before this Court, the Court had no power to interfere. In support of this opinion he quoted the judgment of Mr. Justice Patten. The resolution stated that the levy was a breach of privilege. Suppose the Sheriffs had levied execution on the goods of Messrs. Hansard in the House of Commons, or seized the money from them at the bar of the House—no doubt that would be a contempt of the privilege, and therefore he had shown that it was possible a levy might be in contempt. The Sheriffs had been committed, and the Court had no power to free them. A writ of habeas corpus could not be granted, as they were committed for breach of privilege, and as the Court had no power to inquire into the matter, he trusted that the Court would not make thisrule abso lute. Was it so clear that the House cf Commons had no right to order this money to be refunded? No such thing, and therefore he trusted that the Court would give the Sheriffs the power to litigate that question. Suppose a person should by main force take the money from the Sheriffs, would the Court make the rule abso lute and attach them ? Certainly not. It has been contended that the Sheriff had the power of raising the posse comitatus for his defence, but he could only do so in his county. If the Sheriff of Northumberland were attached here, he could not raise the posse comitatus in his defence, and in that case he thought the Court would not specially interfere, but would leave the plaintiff to his ordinary remedy. The Learned Gen tleman then alluded to the case of Coates v. Lord Hawarden, 4 Barnewell and Cresswell. Lord Hawarden had been arrested at Brighton, and this Court had ordered his release ; but if that had been ordered to be done by the House of Lords, surety the Ccurt would not order an attachment against the Sheriff. The cases were alike ; in the one case the House ordered the Sheriff to restore his prisoner to his liberty, in the other they ordered the Sheriff to restore a party his money; and he contended that the Court would no more interfere in one case than they would in another. He saw no difference between the case of a Member and the case of seizing money with contempt of the House. In the case 10th East, it was held that the Sheriffs could not levy goods in the palace of a Royal Duke, and the Sheriff's return that there were no goods in his bailiwick on which to levy, was held to be a good return. He also submitted that the plaintiff, in a case where the Sheriffs refused to arrest a Member had no remedy, for the arrest of the Sheriffs would be a contempt of the privileges of the House. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to cite many cases in support of this proposition. He then contended that the Parliament had the power of judg ing of their own privileges, and that the Court could afford the Sheriffs no relief. He contended there was sufficient doubt in this case to justify the Court in not interfering, but leaving the party to his ordinary remedy. He now came to the second point. On the 14th January, 1840, the Sheriffs were served with a notice to pay the money levied on the goods of the Messrs. Hansard. Loral DgymAx— Supposing the first point had been disposed of, was there any mason why the assignees should not come and apply to the Court in the ;swat manner? Mr. Wsersos said that if the Court enlarged this rule, then the assignees could come before this Court. The Interpleader Act was passed for the relief of Sheriffs, otherwise they would have to pay the money twice over. Therefore, as there was a bona fide elaim, he trusted the Court would give the Sheriffs an opportunity of Litigating this question. Lord DVilf4s—S,uppose the rule made absolute, there was nothing to prevent the Assignees corning to this Court imme diately. Mr. WATSON said that two actions might be brAt)ght against the Sheriffs. Jjr, Justice LITTLEDALE—The Court would interfere if two actions were brought, one by a bankrupt, and the ether by his assignees, Mr. WATsoN contended that the plaintiff's proper remedy was by action ; here he was asking a. favogr of the Court which was never granted but in the eleare s st psissible epee, They could not bring the assigness here by interplgasler, or tliss Court itself, and if the rule were made absolute in the Instsivs4 p,ebtors' Court, the Sheriffs would have to pay the money into that Csegrt, or an attachment would issue. If the She riffs were attached here, they would be attached by the Insol vent Debtors' Court, and they were already PgFilrflitte4 NT Pons tempt by the House of Commons. On these greonds he snb, mitted that the rule ought not to be made absolute, bgt that the ritg.intiff should be left to his ordinary remedy. Mr. KgVve.piy, en the same side, contended that Mr. Stock dale might have l4r.g4ght his action in this Court, and recovered the amount levied, There 44 - ere vie precedents in the text books for the present application. ffe rernindi34 the Court that the case had already been before Mr. Justice Patteson at chamfers, as was shown in Mr. Platt's affidavit on the 221 of December last. That Learned Judge refused to make the order; iilFpfr, Kennedy) submitted that the case was in the same position ;lien as it was at the moment he was speaking, and that as Mr, Justice patte wiq Torgsgd to grant the rule, the Court *rmilti DOWbe wrong in granting the application, He then proceeded to argue that the order of the Insolvent Debtors' Court was binding on the Sheriffs. The notice, he contended, was from a Court of competent jurigliation, He then proceeded to call the attention of the Court to certain elauses of the Insol vent Debtors' Act, by which general powers were panted to vest all the debtor's estate in the provisional assignee, and it also indemnified the Rheriffs for acting in obedience to the order of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, He, therefore, sub mitted that their Lordships would not gape them to commit an offence against the• Court to which he had alluded, He (Mr. Kennedy) further submitted that Mr. hi' °Wale still had his right of action against the Sheriffs, and if he would prove that he bad suffered any loss through any laches of theirs, he would recover Nil eoLlMPPsation. Mr. PLATT, wilaaPPPaFftd it! i4ppert of the rule, detailed the facts of the action, and the issue ant) qacution of the writ of venditioni expones, and proceeded to state that it we; therefore necessary on the first day of term to move for a rule calling qn the Sheriff to pay over the money in the performance of his duty. He believed on that occasion he might have moved for an order to make that rule absolute, but he merely moved the rule nisi in order that if there were any real ground to resist it, they might state It to the Court.

It did not state u. the affidavit, was in collision with son,,_ the application, but merely that a clerk of the been served with such a paper writing. And what did that amoun, to? The Sheriff was ordered to keep the money in his hand, and in the Court of Queen's Bench to show cause why he had PO paid it over. Surely the Court should know under what Act of Parliament the discharge had been obtained—whether the Act of 7th Geo. IV., or the Ist and 2d of Victoria. Why did not they find out the party who served the notices ? Bad he entity? Had any enquiry been made in the Insolvent Debtors' Court ? No. Were that the only thing for which they showed cause against the rule, their Lordships would have no trouble ; but it was, no doubt, on other grounds. There :IS an affidavit of a number of votes and proceedings in the Commons House of Parliament. He was sorry, he mus.; say, to have observed a smile on some countenances, when the condition of those honourable men the Sheriffs of London was alluded to. He did not think it matter of mirth that Gentlemen who held such an oifice with honour to them selves, and advantage to the country, should be placed in the con dition in which onel3ranch of the Legislature had now placed them for doing their duty ; they had behaved nobly; and while paying every respect to the House of Commons had shown that they would support the law, and that there was no tyrannical power in this country should prevent their asserting the dignity of the Court of Justice. He wished now to call attention to that to which his friends had not ventured to call the attention of the Court. He found it noticed in one of those papers, that on the 16th of January a petition from Messrs. Hansard was presented to the House of Commons, informing the House of the legal proceedings commenced against them by Stockdale, and which the House declared to be a contempt of privilege. If so, then he ( Mr. Platt) was now in contempt. But let Parliament know 11:e spirit which animated the bar—let them know that the mem bers of that profession would advocate boldly, but at the same time respectfully, any cause entrusted to them in which the privileges of any portion of the Legislature were in volved. The Learned Gentlemen, whose arguments we re gret we are precluded, from want of space, from fol lowing, then proceeded to argue, that had the She riff's in resisting the execution of the Speaker's war. rant slain the officer, it would have been merely justi fiable homicide ; that not to obey her Majesty's writ was a contempt of the Courts of Law, and an offence equivalent to that of disobeying the orders of the House of Commons. That the Sheriffs trusted for protection, in the dignified as sertion by the Bench of the power of the law. That the House of Commons had acknowledged that power until they found it decided against them, and concluded by expressing the hope that their Lordships would not suffer the rights of British subjects to be so sacrificed, but would support the rule. Mr. CARRINGTON followed on the same side, and contended that the Sheriffs should have made a special return, and then the question could have been argued; but having had the money ready on the 19th December, it was their duty to have paid it over to the plaintiff. Such had been the method pursued in the Kensington Palace case. As far as a usual mode could be supposed to exist in such an unusual case, he apprehended that the application for a rule was the usual mode. With regard to the case supposed by his Learned Friend, it was clear from the wording of the resolution that the House of Commons would take cognizance of the mode and try it, as they declared they were sole judges of any question involving their own pri vileges. The Sheriff, by the return he had made, had pre cluded himself from doing anything except paying the money over to the plaintiff. The arguments on both sides having been concluded, the Learned Judges proceeded to consult together. After having remained in consultation about half an hour, Lord DENMAN said this was a rule calling on the Sheriffs to show cause why they should not pay over the damages levied in an action brought by a person named Stockdale, azgit:st certain persons of the name of Hansard, to the plaintiff. It appeared that the action had been brought for the putitiegtum of a libel, and that judgment had been suffered to go by derplt. A writ of inquiry was in consequence issued, which writ was regularly executed, cogj the Jury had found damages to a very large amount. An execs Aan Fla levied and the Sheriffs had returned that they could find no buyau, g. writ of Venditioni expenes was then issue, to which the sherifw j rened that they had found buyers, and that they held the proceeds in their hinds, ready to tb 41.Tpe into this Court. This occurred in December.

At fast we heard, through the din scattered plira;es, such as " Champion of the poor"—" Stand up for the Constitution,"—" Ultimately successful,"—" Cheering triumph."" Whigs enrich them selves at expense of country,'—`' Russia,"—" France,"— " Turkey,"—" Faction," Gradually we began to hear some thing like fragments of sentences, such as, " When the Whigs had got into power. upon the shoulders of the people, they dis regarded all their promises. Let the people ask themselves— for they were rational—( Cries of " Oh. oh—my eye !"—what had the `pro:essors of Whiggish Liberalism done for them?— ( Renewed upt oar.) They had pledged themselves against the repeal of the Septennial Act, and should they dare to propose it they would proclaim themselves against the whole world liars.—( Uproar continued.) Cheap beer and cheap bread would be talked of. The Whigs were against the re peal of the malt-tax, and as to the boasted panacea of the repeal of the corn-laws, it would not prevent the masters from grinding down their workmen still lower.—( Renewed and aggravated uproar.) The Whigs encouraged revolution.— ( Cheers, and erica of " No, no.") The Whigs had united themselves with Papists, and supported themselves by intrigue. —(lmmense confusion, with cries of "Do you suppose we hear you?") The Whigs had supported the odious Poor Laws.— ( llere approached a huge banner on which in black letters was inscribed, " See the effects of the Wh:g Poor Law," and on the other side were two pictures—one representing a poor girl sup posed to be answering for some fault before a fat justice of the peace, and the other displaying the girl about to throw herself into river—the attention of the audience was now entirely engrossed on this magnificent painting, and the orator, finding it vain to proceed further, precipitately concluded by seconding the no mination of Mr. Walter, amidst indescribable uproar; which . . . was (if possible) increased when Mr. LoNamoaE came forward, to propose Mr. Wood, whose appearance was the more inauspicious, from the confusion excited by the hurling of divers dirty missiles against the afore said picture. The first sentence we heard was that it could not be denied the Reform Bill had not been properly carried out, th an e ed necessity eess m i ty ea f s a u r re re which hi a rrn haiheed was obe e now First, aeanvi convinced of th f e rom ballet. the bribery and intimidation which had been attempted at this t e a le ti c o t n io s n a .-- f election.—( Tremendous lciersie,sNoit: Longbow.")No,no cheers, Theya and wanted also—(" Many things we can't get")--Short Parliaments--not be able to bribe—(" Who voted for the poor having no beef?")

Mr. Wood was a resident.—(" Humbug ;" " Lives at Eltham, Kent, Pnd you furnished his house with floor-cloth.") Sup. pose Mr. Walter got the Whigs out, who Would succeed?— (" Anything better than Whigs," and cries of" No v:liigs," answered by like exclamations of" Na Tories.") ' r oe borou had formerly sent ellle representatives to Ptrliament, such as Tierney and Harvey, and it, was inineliant to have men inde pendent as Mr. Wood:would be of any Government. And Mr. Wood must be their representative.—( Tremendous outbreaks of approbation and indignation, ) Mr. HARRIS then Raw ihrward to second Mr. Wood, and began by irs'elog, if Mr.lWalter were the friend of the poor, why did he not vote for cheap bread? which elicited immense cheering. The Times, of which Mr. Walter was the pre_ prietor—(Cheers, and cries of " No, no")—was in favour of the repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Unimaginable uproar.) Mr: Ilineoitn then presented himself to propose Mr. Cur ling. Mr. Waiter, who presented himself was a Tar Radical, and althrorgli a Tory he had embraced the spirit of Chartism, anci if he seoured his election and could turn out the Ministers, he erred not that the country was deltiged in blood. Mr. Ellis was to be p.tied—he was in his dotage—first a Tory, then a Radical, now a Tory egaiteeethey never knew how to take him—so let hint pass. Mr. Walter was a good enough private man, but as a Tory combined with Ch ar ti sm and attempted brit - ell, be never would become the Member for the culitAhtened Constituene3r of Southwark. Be then cadge to, the other candidate, Mr. 'Wood. Mr. Curling opposed him because of his incapacity--( Loud laughter)—it was ob jected to him that he was a young ma i n ; t but that was a fault that was daily mending, and although his head was not mellow his judgment was ripe. Mr. Wood was a five times defeated candidate, and was not likely to be chosen for. Southwark, wt en they had a young man full of spirit, able and detrTeilleed to maintain the rights and liberties of the people, who sought their suffrages. He proposed Mr. Curling as a fit and proper person to repreaent Southwark iii Parliament, 1‘14 , . 0031 THORPE seconded the nomination. Hie candi date was a young man, and if sent to Parliament, would serve them honestly, faithfully, and as a good Reformer, until he wasan old man, Mr. Witeeise then came forward, amidst a storm of hissing, which must have been anything but pleasing to him. Of course his paid men were noisy in cheering him, but the consequence was that all but his own party around him were totally Ignorant of what fell from hint., Af tl'i a PAW We eaaght that he was a reformer of all proved aheses, and had been obliged to withdraw his support from. ' the Whigs, becauae many of their measures were ty reneieal. He opposed the New Poor Law with rnfghe and main. If, during the whale of his parliamentary 3 .;te, any one could charge hire With giving a vote, or doia ag any thing for hie own pottt 9,r aggrandiaernent, he c l :,allenged him to Ritle tiartVat'ci 3 10 state it. If sent to Parliament he would stlppe,rt those principles witlelt he had always supported, and upon eeceivingsech a prvq4 invitation from Southwark, he should ne glect liiildoty if he declined it. They were all aware that he was favourable to an alteration of the Curn,laws. With respect to the Ballot—if they had it tint of the House, they must have it in the House, es it Was in France,_ and then there was an end to all the responsibility of a Member to his constituents, eed he would never ask a vote if he could not refer to his rotes. The Ballot was clue of the most gross impositions ever practised upon men of sense. He saw no difficulty in being able to sa tisfy treth of those extreme parties by whom he was supported. He would advise the Government to conduct itself according to the Constitution of the country. He would advise them not to oppress the poor—the honest and industrious poor. Us' way old enough to give that advice—he was, how ow, yet young enough to aid in exposing measc,rea for altering the Constitution of the country.—(Lanni cheers.) There was another point to which reference ktedi been re,ade. If any person would charge him with karilory he would defy him to put his name to that eharge, and he Wenld then know how to deal with him. Charges of that kind were lightly made. It was said, for inatattee,thet Mr, Ilare' e y gave at one time fifty pounds to Mr, 'Watson, andsuch accusation could not be relied on. With respect to the change of party which had been attri buted to him, he begged to sae a few words. He had at one time thought that, though the Whig Government was feebly conducted, it might be og use in carrying out certain reforms. Those reforms 444 1 4.41 itilleo effected, but he found that the Whigs were every way unfit for ruling over the nation ; and lehad coesetltinntly ahandoned them. But when had he done this ? He had done so at the moment of their greatest power ; he had done so before the dissolution the first Whig Administration, when it was at the height of its prosperity. He had not de serted them the eoar grand division he had not betrayed big: friend in the hope of any advantage proportioned to the value of treachery he was taxed with.—( Cheers and hisses.) He hed still every seal for useful reforms, which he had given many parliament, of and if, by their votes, he should be ag a i n returned to parliament, he would steadily pursue the same course--40 , would defend the rights of the people, and he would at the name time stand by the Constitution of England. (Mr. Walter con cluded; as he had began, amidst mingled cheers and hisses, and aTigkt confusion. ) M r . WOOD was received by the crowd with very great and general cheering.

Court, which that Learned Judge was of opinion did not warrant a Judge at chambers to make any such order; he had therefore referred the parties to the full Court, and to that Court the plaintiff had come for the purpose of calling upon tne Sheriffs to declare why, having executed the judgment and recovered the damages in his action, and having proceeded to sale according to due course of law, he was now prevented from recovering the fruits of his judgment. He could not find it very accurately stated. but in the course of these proceedings it had been inferred that the House of Commons disapproved of the law laid down by this Court in a former case between the same parties. If this were so, he, for various reasons, much and deeplj regretted it ; but the opinion of the House of Commons as to the decision of a Court of Law was no ground for arresting the course of law, or for preventing the Queen's writs doing full justice to all their fel low-subjects.ffili appeared that these resolutions had been come to by the House of Commons in relation to this case. His Lordship here read the 'lst - resolution, advising the Sheriffs to refund the amount, and also the one committing them for contempt. These appeared to have been put forward as an obstruction, which was sufficient to prevent the Court making the rule absolute. He could not see that they were of any effect. If the writ committing the Sheriff had stated on the face of it the cause of the contempt, that might have furnished, perhaps, a reason for not making the rule absolute. But he bund no such fact stated, and the circumstance of the Sheriffs having incurred the displea sure of the House of Commons, furnished no reason for disabling the plaintiff from recovering his damages, and therefore he considered that there was no sufficient infor mation furnished by that fact to justify the Court in pre venting the execution of the writ. With regard to the resolution calling on the Sheriffs to refund the money, he was at a loss to know how that was a reason for preventing the plaintiff from recovering the proceeds of the execution. The Sheriffs ought to have returned the money! they had re ceived as soon as they had so received it, and 'had they done so, they would not have been placed in their present situation. He regretted exceedingly the painful situa tion in which they were placed, as he understood, they were actually in custody ; but, as he had before stated, he could not consider that any reason for refusing the rule. If any discretion had been vested in his hands, and the liberation of the Sheriffs at all depended 'on the course he might pursue, he would long have paused before making the rule absolute, and exposing them to further proceedings. Because injustice might be done, although he could not suppose that injustice might be done by such higher authority, the Court was not, therefore, to refuse putting the law in force. Besides, making the rule abselty e would make no difference on that point, because if the sheriffs refunded the money wrongfully, Stockdale could still recover the amount by action against them. With respect to that matter the Court had no discretion. It was the common practice of that Court to call on its officers to do whatthey,were bound to do, and the officers of the Court, having received that money, were bound to pay it over. When they refused to do so the Court was bound to insist upon their properly executing their. duty. Without entering into the delicate topics which had been alluded to in the course of that investigation—confining himself strictly to the rule before the Court, he felt he had no other course to pursue but to order that rule to be made absolute. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE was entirely of the same opinion. The Sheriff having admitted he was in possession of the money, it was competent for the plaintiff to choose whichever mode he pleased to get at his money. The resolutions of the House of Commons did not appear to be sufficient to prevent the payment of the money. Air. Justice WILLIAMS was of the same opinion, and he wished to confine himself to the strict line of practice in consi,' dering this matter. It was impossible not to observe that a considerable portion of the difficulty in which the Sheriff was now placed was attributable to himself, and he would not have been placed in this position if he had paid the money into the Court when he had received it. The principles relied on by Mr Richards were not applicablep,this.case: /t was in cases where there was a doubt as to the property that the Court granted this indulgence, Such wasnet the case in the present instance. That the Sheriff was invelved in doubts end ties was to be regretted; but that was no reason why he should not be called upon to pay the money into this Court, and departing from the practice of the Courts, and giving the plaintiff his remedy. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE was so entirely of the same opi nion, that in any other ease be should heyo merely contented himself with saying so. In an undefended case a levy had been made, and in return to the writ of veditioni expones, the Sheriff had returned that he had the Feeney ready to pay intq the Court. The defendants had been diSpharged, the' pro perty vested in the Sheriffs, and against them, and them alone, the plaintiff had his remedy. Two modes were open to the plaintiff—either to proceed by action or by rule. What had teen said by Mr. Platt, with regard to the action 'sea true, and they might have been engaged in an interminable series of; actions to the great disgrace of the law of the realm. With regard to the abjection of Mr. Kennedy, that the applica tion ' , tee new and unprecedented, it appeared to him that the Court would be trifling with justice if it listgpecl tq it. With regard to the sit nation of theßicriffi:,however much it might be regretted that the situation was one of difficulty and danger,it should never be forgotten that they were the officers of this Cmtrt, and the Court was bound to see that its officers did jus tiete tq the suiters in that CHO, Tl ! ere was no affidayit stating any dmAt, bet that owing to tl f e c;.erpiie' of sort of pis major t hU Sheriffs were placed a situation of 'difficulty—but this was no reason why the plaintlff slibuldbe'dePriia Rf hi:, pro, perty. And with regard to the judgment which had been al ledei to, it had hitherto remaineda question in a court of law, and yotwitlypauding what had been said in any other place, the Cu p i t p;.s bound it was questioncit Rule abs9l4o„ • The Court was crowded during the whole proceedings. There was an unusual attendance of the Bar, and we observed several Members of the House of Commons present, ELECTION FOR SOUTHWARK (THIS DAY.) This being the day appointed by the High Bailiff for the no. urination of a candidate for the scat vacated by Mr. D. W. Harvey, long before the appointed hour (10 o'clock) the posi tion in front of the hustings was crowded by a parcel of ruf fians, in the garb of sailors, &c., all wearing the colours of Mr. Walter, the purity of election candidate. The authorities seemed to apprehend a riotous scene, for, about a quarter be fore 10 o'clock, a force of from 400 to 500 policemen, composed of drafts from various divisions, were marched past the hust ings, and through Union-street. The hired crowd were very noisy for Mr. Walter, but the cheering was the most heartless we ever heard, A. few of the usual elec tion jokes passed while waiting for the arrival of the candidates, the best of which was, " Seize hint, Boxer," in allusion to the friend of Mr. John Day, who rejoices in the name of Boxer. There were a few persons in the crowd wear. ing Mr. Curling's colours, but they mixed with and seemed on very amicable terms with the Walterites, None of Wood's party appeared until his own arrival, which no doubt tended to promote the peace of the meeting, for the men with the blue faveqrs (Walter's) were apparently quite prepared for mischief. A few minutes before eleven o clock Mr, Curling drove up to the Town Hall in a ehaise and four, the drivers being deco rated profusely with his colours, buff and blue ; of course, he was received by the few wearing his favours with cheering— otherwise there was no expression of feeling. The High Bailiff and the candidate* arrlYed °II the bllOingS yt olevgn qtelopk, and then tte ,pfyeat iqn began, e party being cheered and groaned at by the respective parties., • The usual preliminaries having been gene through, the pre2 cept read. as also the oath against bribery, Mr. ET,Lis came forward tq propose Mr. Walter, but he was received with such a storm of hissing and cries of f' Turncoat," that for a long time he was unable to proceed, He said he had the highest respect furs and cnrdial feeling towards, Mr. Wood, r s well as towards his agent, Mr. Curling.

He was obliged to fill his coach with commissioners, which was but another name for pensioners. These commissioners were paid more highly than they deserved, because they sup ported the tail of the Whigs. That man who com manded the Government was one who was acquainted with all the tricks of life—he was a man who misleads and de ludes the public. He would now make some observations on his motives for respectfully preferring one candidate to another. He repeated that he respected Mr, Woodas a private individual —(Cheers)—and he as highly respected Alderman Weed and Mr. Curling. But he did not like to see them tied to the Whigs, and he did not approve of their political sentiments, which were too inflammable for him.—(Cheers, and cries of " Sit down.") Mr. Wood did not burn like wood, emitting a spark now and then, but he burnt like gunpowder—he began like a rocket, and ended like a tiro-serpent,—(Nn, no.) He had a fault to find with Mr. Wood, and with every member of that party—it was that he was entirely given to party, and wound up with Renewed zonlusion, and cries of " Where is Oastler ?") On the contrary, who was Mr. Walter (Cries of "He is a turncoat like yourself.") He was a re, spectabie and independent gentleman, who, in this crisis of the country, would not allow the State to be ruined--the poor to be oppressed—he was one who had established his character by the independent votes he had given.—(Cheers, hisses, and great confusion.)
