The Moniteur Parisiezz formally contradicts the as sertion et the Commerce that the Ropal speech had been communicated to the diplomatic corps, which had expressed its approbation of it. The Ministerial evening organ, in reply to a question from the National as to the laws by which the Government had prevented a Radical banquet at Belleville, states that the authority is derived from those laws charging the municipal authorities to maintain good order, the dispositions of which are to be found in the Police Ordonnance of May 31, 1838. The Moniteur contains the Royal Ordonnance appointing M. Antoine Pussy Under S, cretary of State at the Ministry of the Interior, in place of M. Leon de Malleville. We announced M. An toine Passy's nomination in yesterday's impression, as it is an important fact, and establishes the accu racy of our intelligence that his brother, LL Pussy, and M. Dufaure intend to give the Soult-Guizot Cabinet their support, although they are not members of the Administration. This will have the effect of securing votes for the Left Centre (Ministerial party.) In respect to M. Thiers, from his animated tone in the Salle des CoCcrences, on Wednesday afternoon, it is concluded that his opposition is intended to be very strenuous. " A telegraphic despatch from Lyons, received on Wednesday," says the Moniteur, " at the Ministry of the Interior, announces that the rising of the waters had attained its maximum. The effects have been disastrous. The bridge of the Mulatiere was carried away." Count Appony, the Austrian Ambassador ; Baron d'Arnim, the Prussian Envoy Extraordinary ; Baron Pappenheinn, Minister of the Grand Duke of Hesse ; and Count de Thielmansegge, Resident Minister of the ' King of Hanover, presented to the King of the French from their Savereigns letters of congratulation on the subject of the attempt of the 15th of October. The Marseilles and Lyons mails were still overdue on Thursday at the Post-office. The Courtier Francais has some absurd allusions to the dissensions in the French Ministry. It even pub lishes a report that Marshal Soult had resigned. The Debats states that M. de Lamartine had been received by the King and Queen of the French. The Siccle formally announces that the Left intend to propose their chief, M. Odillon Barrot, as President of the Chamber of Deputies. The Ministerial candi date is M. Sauzet. As was stated yesterday, M. Thiers was not to be put in nomination, as the Extreme Left and Legitimists refuse to grant him this .. Bill of In demnity' for his Ministerial acts. Madrid papers and letters of the 29th ult. contain no news of interest except a confirmation of the great divisions in the Exaltado camp. It appears that Espartero, Gamboa, Chacon, and Frias wish to main tain, at all risks, the Senate intact, according to the Constitution of 1837. Ferrer, Cortena, and Gomez Becerra pretend that the Senate ought to he reformed as well as the Constitution. It is affit med that in consequence of the misunderstanding Ferrer will certainly retire from the Regency Cabinet, and be replaced by Gamboa, and the latter in the Finance by Mendizabal under the influence of Lord Palmerston. One of the prominent topics at the meeting at Exeter Hall, on Thursday, to call the attention of the Protestant public to the sth of November, was the growth of Popery. The Rev. H. STOWELL, for example, said— " It was whispered abroad that a coalition was about to take place, and that the Churches of England and of Rome were about to marry. In the name of God, in the name of the martyrs, in the name of religion, said the Rev. Gentleman, I forbid the bans.—(Tremendous cheering.) He had been informed by a tutor at Oxford that Popery was speading her meshes in that University, and that the Roman ' Breviary' was to be found in every bookseller's shop, and that it was asserted that the most saleable book in that collegiate city was the Breviary.' To check the growth of Popery it was ne cessaryto Protestantise England—( Hear)—and for that purpose, though he had subscribed to the fund to raise r monument to those martyred Bishops who freed the University of Oxford, yet, instead of cold marble or stone, if the opportunity were again presented to him, he would prefer establishing two Protestant Professors, who would be perfect masters of controversy, who would, by their pens and by their voices, be the cham pions of Protestantism, and whose certificate to the Bishops for ordination would be required as the certifi cate of the Regius Professor of Divinity.—(Hear.)" All who have attended to the course of the State Church make exactly the same complaints. The Pusey hes, now embracing a large section of the Church, do not differ in any appreciable degree from the Romanists. To them the evangelical portion of the Church is opposed. The Rev. Messrs. STOWELL, O'SULLIVAN, and other State priests, were favoured, on Thursday, with the company and assistance of Dr. BUNTING, who is the chief of the Methodists, and is called their Pope. While one section of the State Church, then, according to the Rev. H. STO WELL, is preparing to unite with Rome, another section is for a fusion with the followers of WES LEY, whose pastors are said to look with a longing eye to a share in the possessions of the orthodox pulpits. If, however, as Mr. STOWELL says, Popery is .thriving at Oxford, and that it is necessary now to Protestantise England, what can we conclude as to the labours of the well-paid priesthood, of which Messrs. STOWELL and O'SULLIVAN are mem bers? According to Mr. STOWELL'S assertion, the labours of the State priesthood for nearly 300 years have been fruitless, and it is now necessary to Protestantise the priesthood, and convert the people to Protestantism. To what use, then, have the revenues of Canterbury, Durham, Win chester, and London, been applied ? Alas ! turn on which side we will—to Canterbury, where THOM and his followers prevailed—to Oxford, with its breviaries and its Puseyism—to Gloucester, where the learned Dr. MONK has not enlightened his flock against the Mormon superstition—or look to the untaught, uninstructcd "heathen" of the great towns ; turn on which side we will, we shall find evidence of the gross neglect of the State priest hood. The very charter of their existence is opposition to Popery, and they have yielded up the people and the Church to the Pope. A stronger and more severe condemnation of the State priesthood, who are endowed with several millions a year to keep down and keep out Popery, we have not of late read, than the passage we have quoted from the Rev. H. STOWELL. The meeting held at Manchester on Wednesday expressed, we believe, the almost unanimous opinion of the community in relation to a war with France. It is almost everywhere regarded with repug• nance, not to say abhorrence. The friendly inter course, which has softened prejudices and antipa thies, makes the people now look on a war witl France with almost as much horror as a war with Ireland. By the second resolution of the meeting it was declared that, if the people were consulted, they would revolt at the unchristian attempt to in- volve them in the crimes and horrors of war. An address to the French nation was carried unani mously, which must be at once soothing to the national self-love, and conciliatory of peace. Should similar proceedings take place in the other great towns of the empire, war will not only be prevented now with certainty, but be rendered impossible in future. Out of the present apprehensions there arises a delight ' ful prospect for mankind, and a completely new line of policy is dictated to statesman. The per- 'ect freedom of commerce advocated by the meet- lug must become the rule of their conduct as the means of obtaining the advantages of that peace which mankind are now determined to have. The resolutions describe war as unchristian. We do not see, however, that the Bench of Bishops, and the rest of the State priesthood, take the lead in denouncing it. In fact they are the servants of the State, and they cannot obey CHRIST. They cannot serve two masters; and if the State command war, the State priesthood must, as at the period of the Revolution, preach war. They must bless the State's standards, and encourage the _State's soldier s to shed blood profusely, whatever Christianity may require. They have sold their liberty to follow CHRIST for rich livings, and they must take the consequence of being denounced as an unchristian though cannota State e Gov. sery priesthood. They serve MAMMON, and The Devonport Telegraph published a few da y s a g o a comparison between the strength of the - 0.. , THE St7Siq LONDON t ITUDAY, NOVEMBER 6..1840 British and French fleets, which we reproduce in another past of The Sun. We believe, however, I that the following list, derived from authority, will be found a more correct account of British ships of the line now in commission than that pub lished by our Contemporary. The number of line-of-battle ships in commission, including guard ships of the ordinary, and flag-ships at home, is as follows Stations. 120 Britannia Mediterranean *l2O Caledonia Flag-ship at Plymouth P2O Howe *llO Queen Flsg_ship at Portsmouth t 110 San Josef Guard-ship of Ordinary at Pl; - mouth Camperdown Flag-ship at Sheerness Impregnable Fitting out at Plymouth Prince3s Charlotte Mediterranean Victory mouth Rodney Mediterranean Asia Calcutta .

The five ships marked f are not sea-going ships although in commission. i ... . Steam Vessels in Mediterranean.—Nine war steam-ves sels, aggregate of 2,160 horse poner and 42 guns, exclu sive of steamers employed in conveyance of mails and des patches. This list does not include the ships mentioned by cur Contemporary as preparing anti ready to receive their crews, such as the St. Vincent, the Clarence, the London, &c., for it is not, we believe, true that they are prepared for immediate service. Our Contemporary's list only embraces a small por tion of the ships that are in the same state of for wardness as they are. But what is the result of our list ? Why, that England has 27 sail of the line in commission, 16 of which are of the most formidable description, and most approved con struction. Never before had England, when at peace, though threatened with the united forces of France and Spain, when Spain had a formidable navy, so powerful and efficient a fleet. If war should be forced on by the war-party in France —which Heaven forbid—the fleets of England would be aided by the Russian fleets, and the few ships which the Austrians and Turks possess, while France would have to contend against them single- handed. Besides the 27 sail of the line thcre are 5 guard-ships which are not sea-worthy, but each one of those has an organized though small crew, which could be easily turned into an equal number of sea-going ships, and would be the nucleus of a full crew, and capable of rendering efficient service. An important feature, however, 'in the above list is the 9 war steamers in the Mediterranean with an aggregate power of 2,160 horses, and carrying 42 large guns, exclusive of steam vessels employed in the conveyance of mails. That force is at least twice as great as the force of the same kind which the French could collect, and, as we stated yesterday, this important class of vessels is to be rapidly augmented. Such facts dissipate at once the gloom in which the Tory Journals, by their false state ments, have endeavoured to envelope the public mind. Our fear is lest we should be too strong, not too weak, and should be tempted by strength into the exhibition of arrogance, or the commission of injustice. The Times, which has taken the lead in the foolish attempt to depreciate our Navy, and has been followed even in its folly by its rivals, has endeavoured to make it appear that our ships are undermanned in comparison with French ships. But it never was the practice for British men-of war to carry so many men as French, and at present the crews of our ships contain no foreigners, no wretched gaol-birds, no imp►essed, imprisoned, and disaffected men ; and though they have not their war complements, they are better manned, even with their peace complements, than were the average of our men of war at the period of our greatest naval successes. We beg, however, to be understood as not advo cating the practice of undermanning our ships in peace. On the contrary, we have always been of opinion that the wisest and most economical policy is to keep comparatively few ships afloat in peace, and provide every one with nearly a double crew of seamen, so that every ship in case of war might spare half her seamen, and make up an efficient crew by embarking marines or landsmen. But whatever may be the defects or the merits of the undermanning system, it existed long before the Whigs came into office, and for years the propriety of adopting a different course was unavailingly pressed on the Tories. It is the merit of the pre sent Ministers, that, by a consistent and steady course of improvement in the naval service, they have contributed to make it no longer a bugbear to the seamen; and they have been able, without having recourse to any extraordinary temptations, or adopting the Tory plan of man-stealing, to send a. formidable fleet to sea, manned by willing hearts. The Times has frequently stated that the sea men are overworked in her Majesty's service, which is therefore 'made distasteful to them. Such a statement is wholly without foundation. Nothing is more pleasant than the cruizes which our squa drons have lately made, more agreeable to the sea men, or effected by a smaller quantity of toil. The squadron that was at Lisbon had literally nothing to do, and the necessary labours of keeping the ships clean and in order could not occupy the men. In fact, the whole crews of men-6f-war are only required to fight their guns, and a much less num ber of seamen than they usually carry, is sufficient at all times to perform all the other necessary la b.ib)loeaiunnr gtth,g Dd t idle, work s ie k I t forlimh'e the n lamented h s ec e r v e e w r hears statesman o ot esk f me Na ea pi) Naval Officers them O its ffi frothpcs er pre. sent idolatry proposed to employ civilians in digging holes and filling them up again ? The comparison, however, which is supposed by the Times to disgust merchant seamen with her MAJESTY'S service, is the quantity of wor k re quired on board the latter more than the former. The work on board merchant vessels, however, which carry comparatively few hands, is, under ordinary circumstances, four times as heavy as the work on board men-of-war. Not the heavy work, but the coercion, the confinement, the distrust, the insufficient pay, are the causes why merchant sea men feel a repugnance to serve in men-of-war ; and these will never be removed by the Tories, who avow their love of coercion, refuse all confidence in the people, and assert that they never can be too ill-treated, too much plundered, and too much debased. By the Fulton, French steamer, which arrived at „e • Marseilles on Saturday last, we have received ad vices from Beyrout of the 1 9 t.h, Constantinople of the 14th, Alexandria of the 19th, and Malta 0! the 27th ult. The despatches brought by the Fulton were expected in Paris on Tuesday morn ing, but owing to the sudden and extensive over flowing of the rivers Rhone and Saone, which completely flooded the roads and rendered them impassable by horses, they did not arrive before Wednesday evening. The news they bring is in the highest degree i nteresting - and i mportant , an d will be found in anot h er part of The S un . T o their other gallant achievements, the Allies have added the capture of Solon and the defeat of Tana 111 NI PA CII A , hitherto deemed invincible the Turks and Egyptians. The siege of St. Jean d'Acre has also been cotnmenced, aid this strong hold once taken, the sceptre of MEHEMET ALr's power in Syria is for ever broken. The expedition has been crowned with most astonishing success, and altogether justifies the representations of Lord PONSONBY, that the Viceroy of EGYPT never had any hold upon the affection s of the Syrians. Large bodies of Turkish troops continued up to the 14th ult. to embark daily at Constantinople for the Syrian coast. The Turkish force then in Syria amounted to ten thousand men, and it was ex pected that ten thousand more would reach the Syrian coast before the end of October. To meet theexpenses of these expeditions, the Porte was about to contract a loan of three miltions sterling which the London house of RICARDO and Co. had agreed to take at eighty per cent., at six per cent. interest, of which the payment was to be sccur.td on the customs. The Porte was likewise preparing to issue a new coinage on a standard of value, which should subsequently prevent time shameful and ne• farious depreciations •in the currency which has heretofore brought so many miSfortunes upon that _ . country. MEHEMET ALI had returned from Cairo to Alexandria, and bore his reverses of fortune with remarkable firmness. He re-established the 'com munication with Suez, which had been inter rupted ; liquidated the claims of the European mer chants upon his Government ; and acted in every way as if nothing extraordinary had happened. He had sent a courier to IBRAHIM PACIJA in Syria with instructions, as was supposed, to make pacific overtures to the English Admiral. There is no news of any interest in the Paris Journals of Wednesday. Nothing was talked of hut the opening of the Chambers, and great apprehen sions were entertained that some attack would be again made on the person of tlic KING. Marshals So ULT and GERARD had, however, taken precautions for in viand), filling the streets with troops on the slight est indications of the commencement of an enreufe• Some stormy discussions were said to have takel), place at a Council of Ministers held on Tuesday, but out of the Council-chamber the subject of them was not known. As we momentarily expect the arrival of the KING'S Speech, the following ex tracts are all that need be given from Wednesday's journals : Mr. Porter, the English Commissioner appointed to carry on the negotiation relative to the Treaty of Commerce between France and Great Britain, having come to an understanding with the French Commis sioners, has confided the conclusion of the Treaty to Mr. Bulwer, Secretary to the English Legation. Mr. Porter, whose presence here is no longer necessary, will return to his post at London.—Journolde s Debats. The Moulton. of this morning has no official part. The Univers says—" It was affirmed to-day in the Staff of the National Guards, that Marshal - Soult and Marshal Gerard had, after several conferences, agreed on a plan for a prompt and energetic suppression of every attempt at disord r." The Temps says—" Yesterday evening a Council of INUnisters, held in the course of the day, was talked of, which was said to have been very long and very stormy. The result was not known.—C;mstitutionnel." Mr. Porter, who only waited for a favourable oppor tunity to terminate the commercial negotiations with France, has left Paris to-day, bting recalled by his Government. Having to direct the proceedings of the Committee formed for tile superintendence of the rail. ways, his presence at London has become necessary, since the numerous and serious , aelitiff p nts•thaL . Lay taken place. Mr. Porter hopes to resume ., the duties of his nfitsiOn to tho Government, which he has hitherto conducted7With'so' much good-will and ,such sincere love of peace. We are sorry to say that there is little probability that Lord Paltnerston will afford him an opportunity to do so, for the policy of the English Government tends more and more to render the two nations irreconcilable.—Courrier Francais.

BARNARD V. PUMFRET. This case came before the Court upon appeal from the , teeision of the Master of the Rolls. Tao quest'on in the ease was, whether certain legacies were to be pi id out of the real estate of the testator, the persoz.al estate being in sufficient. The Master of the Rolls ordered the legacies to be paid out of the real estate, and from that decision the parties appeared. Ilia LORDSHIP ordered the case to stand over, in order to see if the parties would now compromise. VICE-CH AN CE'RY.-(THIS DAY.) ilk Honour the Vice- Chancellor took short c auses, unopposed petitions, and motions to-day. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V SHORE LADY lIEWLEY'S CHARITY. This c;ise came before the Court upon the petition the receiver in the cause, praying that a certain sum which stood in the name of the Accountant-General of the Court of Exchequer might be transferred to the Accountant General of the Court of Chancery. The circumstanct under which the petition was presented were the following : —Part of the property belonging to. Lady Hewley's Cha rity being required for the purposes of the York and North Midland Railway, was purchased by that Company for the sum of 4,000/. With 3,0004 of that sum other property bad been purchased for the• Charity, and at the present moment a sum of about 8001., the residue of the 4,0001., stood it, the name of the Accountant• General of the Court of Ex • chequer to the credit of the matter of the York and No. th Midland Railway and Lady Hewley's Charity. The re ceiver had already expended 1,3001. on erecting the new hospital, and to complete it several hundreds more would he required. Under these circumstances the Receiver had presented the present petition for the transfer of the fund standing in the Accountant-General of the Court of Ex chequer's name into that,Of the Accountant. General of the Count of Exchequer. The Court made the erdcr as prayed. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY. NEGLIGIN V. MITCHELL. The plaintiff in this case hi'd painted a portrait of Ma dame Grisi, which he agreed to allow the defendant to transfer to copper and print for the sum of 150/., the de ' fendant also covenanting to deliver to the plaintiff 50. proof copies, cf which he had only delivered 10. The action was; tried before Lord Abinger at the Middlesex Sittings after last Term, when a verJict was found for the plaintiff. with contiagent damages to the amount of 301. Mr. THESIGER now moved to enter judgment non ob stanre vet-edict°, on the ground of the insufficiency of the pleas ; it having been proved upon the trial that the plaintiff had entered into a new agreement, and consented to receive forty of the impres sions then ready, which the defendant offered to allow him to select from his stock, two days after the new agree ment, but then the plaintiff refused to accept, and brought his action. The Court granted a rule nisi. PHILIPS V. HATFIELD. This action was tried at the London Sittings after last Term, before the Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff—Damages, 10.5891. 13s. 7d. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved for a rule nisi to reduce the verdict. He said his Lordship 'could remem ber that at the trial he had thought it his duty to tender a bill of exceptions to the construction of an Act of Parlia ment in his summing-up. He did not then mean to trouble the Court upon the law-part of the case, as the polut was of such importance that it had been determined to take the opinion of another Court upon it-of course he would.confine him self to the other point, salvo, the bill of exceptions. The action was in trover, to recover the value of 350 hogsheads of tobacco. Warwick and, lagget were large merchants and also commission agents,.ani in December,lB36, had a cargo of t..bacco consined to them, 350 hogsheads of which belonged to the plaintiff. On the 12th of Decem., her they pledged the dock' Warrants with the defendants, who, on that security, accepted bills to the amount of 15,619/. 175. .10d. Before they became due, Warwick and Clagget became bankrupts, and the defendants were obliged to take them up. , The Jury had taken the price of the tobacco at 511. per lb., but that must have been a misti.ke on the part of the Jury, for the witnesses for the plaintiffs, although they gave that price as the av& rage at the time of convcreion, yet they had not seen all the tobacco ; 'they had seen only a few hogsheads and they could not say whether what they saw belonged to the 350 hogsheads of the plaintiff, or to the other part of the cargo, while the witnesses for the defendant, who had seen all the tobacco, and they three of the most eminent and respectable brokers, had said in the their evidence that •the 350 hogsheads were of an inferior quality, and the value of it was under 4d. The tobacco was actually sold on the Ist January, 1838, during which period tobacco had advanced in price, yet it brought only 8,228/. 17s. 53., so that actually if the vi rdict were to stand, the defendent would be 2,360/. 15s. 2d. out of pocket beyond the sum of 13,619/. 17s. 101 The LORD CIIIEF BARON—We cannot interfere on that ground—we must merely sec whether the Jury went wrong, according to the evidence. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then, at considerable length, pressed upon the Court-the hardship of giving the plain tiff inure than the actual value of the article, inasmuch as theta' was no imputation of fraud in the sale of the tobacco. —Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) ( Sittings in Banco.) EDWARDS AND ANOTHER V. SCOTT AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trcver brought by the assignees of a bankrupt named Western, to recover a policy of insurance on the life of the bankrupt for 3,0001., which had been placed in the bands of the defendants Es a collateral secu ity., cr . pip , verdict !vas -far-the plaintiff. Mr. Platt, in El .tae,y,go‘.m 11139, 'obtuineri^a'rrder to 'ahoy', cause- Why ver- • .die4,4hcorad':aoti be'retisoriiio; mad a 'new•trial grahred: M. Sergeant TALFOt I ftO this day appeared ro show ,cause against the rule, and contended that the verdict was perfectly consistent with law, inasmuch as it was given in evidence that the bankrupt had continued to pay up the 1 premium to the time of his bankruptcy, and that no entry of the assignment to Scott and Company had been made in the books of the latter Company; the only thing like a notice to the assignees of the bankrupt, or other parties interested in the estate, as to their possession of the policy, being a verbal communica. tion to the Insurance Company, through a person who called at the Insurance-office, from the defendants, to in quire if the premium had been paid. Under these circum stances the Learned Sergeant contended that there was no valid assignment; that the policy had been actually in the legal possession of the bankrupt up to the time of his bankruptcy, and was, therefore, the property of the assig nees ; that, therefore, the verdict must not be disturbed. Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL followed on the same side. Mr. GREENWOOD (in the absence of Mr. Platt) sup p )rted the rule. He contended that in law and equity the assignment of the policy was good, without any entry on the books of the parties to whom it was transferred ; and that no further notice of the transfer to the insurers, than the verbal notice proved in evidence, was neccasery. All that was necessary for the defendants to prove for the validity of the assignment, was that the bankrupt had deposited the policy with them, the reputed ownership thereof being in him at the time. The Learned Counsel cited several casts, to show that, where there were other circumstances to make the fact notorious, the mere change of possession was sufficient, without any written notice or other writing, to constitute a valid assignment. It had been repeatedly decided in equity that the mere handing Ever of the deed was a sufficient assignment, but he considered the case of Vyall v. Rolle, reported in 9 Vesey, jun., page 410, to be conclusive in favour of that decision. Be sides, it had been proved at the trial that the fact of the policy having been transferred to the defendants was made notorious at a meeting of Western's creditors, which took place in 1837—that is full four months before Western be came a bankrupt. It could not be said, therefore, that he continued to have the reputed ownership of the policy up to the time of his bankruptcy. Upon these grounds the Learned Gentleman submitted that the verdict cou'd net stand, and that the rula for a new trial should be made absolute. (The case was not concluded at the time of going to press.) BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) TILE QUEEN V. WORTHINGTON.—CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL -1 am instructed to move your Lordship for a rule to show cause why a criminal informa tion should not be filed against Mr. Edward Worthington, an attorney at Manchester, for a libel, which he, by his own confession, inserted in the Manchester Newspapers, he being indemnified for doing so. The libel, my Lord, is upon a gentleman of the name of Ross, on whose behalf I make this application. Mr. William Ross, who is a very eminent and respectable cotton-printer, and has very extensive dealings in that line, which your Lordship knows is one of the most considerable in. the great commercial and manufacturing town of Manchester. My Lord, this is a most malignant libel, trying to rake up a calumny, for which there was no foundation, respecting misconduct supposed to have been imputed to Mr. Ross nine years ago. My Lord, there was, in the last Session of Parliament, a Bill introduced into the House of Corn mons, for extending the copyright in designs from three months, I think, to six months, and there was a Committee upon that Bill, a Bill introduced by Mr. Emmerson Tennent. Mr. Ross was examined as a witness upon that Bill as to the propriety of extending the period during which there should be a copyright in design, a subject which, as your Lordship is aware, must be one of very great interest in Manchester. where cotton-printing is carried on so extensively. Mr. Ross being examined, was asked respecting the protection to be given to designs, and some questions were put to him, that seem to have been suggested by an enemy, as to his having, a number of years ago, taken designs from a house of the name of Coates and Co., which transaction he explained to the entire sa tisfaction of the Committee. The Bill did not pass, but there was, when Mr. Ross was on the Continent of Europe, in the month of August last a letter introduced into the Man chester newspapers respecting this Bill, and there %V some reference made to Mr. Ross's evidence before the Committee. That was a perfectly harmless letter, and Mr. Ross bad nothing in the world to do with it—he was hundreds of miles absent—and it imputed nothing. My Lord, this being so, there appeared on the Bth of August the libel of which I complain in the Manchester Guardian, which Mr. Worthington, against whom I make this appli cation, has confessed that he inserted; he said it was in serted by Sale and Worthington, he being in partnei ship with a gentleman of the name of Sale. I was in structed to move against both, but. that ebieb Mr. Worthington said, of course, w ould not be evi dence against Mr. Sale ; and, therefore, I do not feel justified in making the application against Mr. Sale. It was said to roe ? let Mr. Sale purge him self of this offence, but I, e f orp 1 ,, pp d Pe Palled PP9il to do so, I felt that I must lay before your Lordship sufficient evidence to strew that be was guilty. I there • fore abstain from making the application against Mr. Sale, and make the application against Mr. Worthington, who has again and again a-I:bitted that he in serted the article, and was indemnified for doing so. My Lord, tin , article is malignant, it is intended to repre sent that on the occasion refarcd to, about nine years ago, Mr Ross bad collu,ively entered into 'a communication with the managing servant of the house of Coates and Com pany, who were eminent cotton-printers at Manchester, that ne bad by fraud obtained a distr!osure by means of that individu a l (a person r+f the name a Wright), of the designs of Coates and Company, and that then, having eon it them in this manner, he had printed them for . his own benefit, which would Lave been en exceedingly dis honourable and disgraceful transaction, and which, if be. .ieved to be true in Manchester, would have caused Mr. R , se to have been expelled from society. Your Lord ship must be aware bow such a theft would be regarded among rival and honourable cotton-printers. The libel seeks to represent that, under pretence of hiring a person of the name of Wright, who was the manager of Coates and Company, Mr. Ross prevailed upon Wright to die -lose these pattcrus. and then had them Frieted for his (Mr. Ross's) own benefit. Your Lordship will see how .that charge is made against Mr. Ross in the article which Lean now read. It is in the form of a letter to the Editor of the Manchester Guardian, being entitled " Copyright of Designs." I need not trouble your Lord ship with the earlier part of it, but I will come to that part which directly refers to Mr. Ross, and is sworn o refer to Mr. Ross, which there is no doubt that it does. He says, " I and many others who have a tolerable recol lection of the circumstance referred to, are somewhat curious to know what would have been - the reply supposing the question had been thus put," that is, supposing question had been thus put in the Committee of the House of Commons to Mr. Ross. It is allowed that he bad explained himself, examined as . he was, but what would have been his reply if the questions tad been thus put to him ? Now here are the questions. You say that at an early period after your cenopencing the calico business you wanted a manager? Did you not la that occasion apply to one then employed at F, x-bill Bank, by note or otherwise, without your possessing any previous knowledge of hisdesire to change his situa!ion? Dld .on not request an interview, and did you not obtain one at a public-house at Fox-hill Bank ? Were you not extremely civil to this said Manager ? ' (" extremely civil" being in talics) " and did you not induce him, under a pledge .f confidence, to show you the patterns he was producing for his employers, in order that you might have an opportu ni'y of judging of his capabilities, &c ? Did you not take the aatterns so confided to you by hint," (" so confided to you" being in italics,) " and copy them in whole or in part, and L•ive them into the hands of your engraver? D.d not an itectlental circumstance expose the transaction to the pro. prietor? Did be ILA t..xpress " honest indignation" 'on this occasion? D.d he nut threaten you with legal proceedings? Was ho not induced by the friendly interference of a hi g hly respectable gentle man to forego that exposure consequent upon a public prosecution? Was it not one of the conditions that the patterns then in progress of copying should be arrested, and never be brought before the public ? And were they vot so countermanded by you ? Were Sou never further in vited by the Manager alluded to, or some one else, under a promise of Naha confidential disclosures, to revisit the pot-house where you first had friendly converse ? Did you not politely decline the offer, having been previously forewarned that in case of compliance a very told reception was prepared for you, in the shape of an immersion in a bath of unusual dimension, vulgarly termed a reservoir !" that is, that ho was to be ducked. " I am. your's respectfully, ' Anti- Humbug.' " Now your Lordship will at once see that this in the most direct terms, by way of interrogation, charges Mr. Ross with having opened this communication with Wright; with having obtained patterns from him, and with having clandestinely and fraudulently got them printed by his engraver, then it insinuates that actions were brought, and an exposure was then threatened, charging, iu effect, that Mr. Ross had been guilty of the most disgraceful conduct. My Lord, I have the affidavit of Mr. Ross him self, of Mr. Potter, his then partner, and 'of Wright, the person so supposed to be seduced, showing that there is not the slightest foundation for this charge. There is a little mixture of truth, as there generally is in these cases, but it is wholly perverted. There was a negotiation between Mr. Ross and Wright. Which Wright had opened, having stated that he wished to change his situation, and that he was desir ous to go from the service of Coates into the service of Ross ; and in the course of that communication he produced some little bits of stuff, to show his compe tency, but which, instead of being engraved, were thrown aside by Mr. Ross, and no use made of them. The negotiation went off, but it was opened by Wright, and Mr. Ross merely listened to the application that Wright had made. So much for the foundation of the imputation of his trying to,seduce Wright from the service of Coates, and inducing hitn to disclose the se crets of his employers. Then, with respect to this supposed detection of a violation of pattern, it certainly happened that Mr. Coates made a complaint that one point unconnected with the transaction I have re ferred to resent'uled one cf which he was proprietor, and upon that complaiut bcit g made Mr. Ross immediately desisted from making use of that pattern, but without its having been at all taken from the patterns which were pro duced by Wright, and which patterns lie swears were pieces of cloth taken from pieces whicli had been in public sale long before, and open to all the world. Now, my Lord, under all these circumstances these being no founda tion for these charges— Mr. Justice PAiTESON —YOU may take a rule Mr. At toruey.—Rule Nisi granted. - _ BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY.) John Black, kecpar of a beer-shop in Pocock's fiel2s, Islington, was brought before Mr. Twyford, charged on suspicion with stealing a cash-box, containing 61, and other property, from the house of Mr. Humphrey, landlord 'or the Pine Apple public-house, Hungerford-street, Strand. S ergoatat Laurence, P a2id that the robbery wascommitted in the month of March last, and from inmr.-- ma:ion he had received, he had reason to 132lievo that the prisoner was concerned in it. He had been cn the look out for him for several months, but was unable to meet with him until the present time, as he kept out of the way. Thomas Kinsman proved that he was well acquainted with the prisoner for the last five or six years, and he re collected, about half a year back, a cash-box being stolen from Mr. Humphrey. Wi ness happened to be holding a horse at the door, when he saw the prisoner, ac conipan'ed by an old man, come out of the house with something 1 ke a wooden box concealed under the tail of his coat, and run away. In a few minutes aPer, the pot boy came out, and informed him that the cash-box had just been stolen from behind the counter. The prisoner said that the witness had preferred the charge against him through spite, because he had assisted the police in apprehending his friends for a robbery at the louse of Mr. Porter, in Lincoln's Inn-fields, about the time in question, for which they were convicted at the Old Bailey, and transported. He could procure good bail to answer the charge at any future day. Mr. TWYFORD refused to accept of bail, and ordered him to be brought up again on Tuesday next. Henry Braniumll, a carman, was brought up for final examination, charged with stewing two sacks of corn, value 255., the property of Mr. James Muggridge, corn-dealer, Tottenham-court-road, his master, and Jenny Roberts with receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. It appeared that the male prisoner was sent with forty sacks of oats, to be delivered in the neighbourhood of Russell-square, and he was seen by his master to stop at a house in Chap A-place, Duke-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, where the female prisoner was subsequently apprehended, and take two sacks from the cart, which he emptied there. On the arrival of the cart at its destination, tl:e two sacks were found concealed without anything in them. Mr. TWYFORD ordered him to be fully committed for trial, and the female to be held to bail to answer the charge at the next Session of the Central Criminal Court. There were two other pi i , ;oners in custody for the same offence, but the evidence not being sufficiently strong against them, they were discharged. Charles Crouch'', measuring six feet two and a half, and having the appearance of a coal heaver, was brought up by Sergeant Chadwick, 2 F, charged on his own eon fesqiun with being a deserter from the Queen's Ist Dra goon Guards. The defendant said tint be enlisted in November, 1834, and deserted ,in the March following. He was committed to Westminster Bridcweit until a communication could be made at the Horse Guards.

BRITISH INSTITUTION. `We were favoured yesterday with a private view of some copies taken from the paintings of several of the old masters, by young living artists. Many of these copies display merit, but none are of any marked excellence, most of all, as respects colour ing. Titian's Magdalen is the p►cture which seems to have been most in favour, and accordingly we find no less than a dozen imitators of it. Of these, the copy by Harwood is, we think the best. The most successful copyist of Marinari's fine painting of the " Virgin and Child" is a lady named Maccarthy, who has accomplished her task with much judgment ; Ruben's " Annunciation" has been most skilfully copied by Hulme ; and a " Landscape" of Claude by Stein. The Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire and Lady Charlotte Hill, returned to East Hampstead park on Friday last, from a tour on the Kentish coast with Earl Amherst and the Dowager Countess of Plymouth.

A report prevails that Government are going to raise 10,000 sailor:, by giving a bounty. The Aberdeen 'Herald of last Tuesday in a second edition supplies the following intelligence regarding the elections: .-" The poll has closed and the general re sult is such as to satisfy all Liberal moderates. The six gen tl e m e n esho have been returned to the Council may be thus classified - four Whigs, two Tories, five Moderates, one Non Intrusionist. But the bare result is not suffi cient to indicate the triumph that has been gained over the Non. intrusion faction. The circumstances under which they carried their single man, and the miserable appear ance they made. in the first and second wards, show plainly that we have not been wrong in giving the great majority o f our fellow-citizens credit for enough of shrewdness and common sense to keep them separate from the wild men.

A Correspondent ... has reminded us of the follow ing facts, which may he interesting at this moment. In the year 1797 the Commanding Officer of an Infantry Regiment having, in the face of the enemy, incurred the severe displeasure of Sir Eyre Coots, and being dis missed the service, called Sir Eyre out on his return to England; but S.r Eyre handed him over immediately to a Bow.strect officer. It is true that the Marquis of Londonderry went out with Mr. Battier, of the 10th Hussars ; but on that occasion the Duke of York issued an, order, which is still in force, forbidding all colonels to go out with officers dismissed the service; and disobedience of that order by a Commanding Officer would bo b inevitably t followed by the loss of his cornmis e s n io ts i i occasioned -1i °I3IA 1" Gazette. ° o Fr s .o m w el i a N ne G ho O ly F ac T ei l d l n thenu V m El u e i r re cent heavy falls of rain, which have caused the Rhoue and Saone to °vet flow their banks, the Reparateur of Lyons mentions the following •—" Madame Mallachard and her brother-in-law were returning from a eountr Y la e • neighbourhood of Vill e f ranc h e, upon a char do e us in the had reachClacie, reunited the b r id ge of when cote, and the horse, fright ened by the noise made by the rushing waters, pecciTitated both lady and gentleman frcm a height of 30 feet ilto the torrent.
