SERJEANT, No. 7, Lo vell's-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of Medicine. Price 2s. 9d. per Bottle. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience ; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every ether means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. Amongst many which aro being daily received are the follow mg testimonials : a./t3 14, Belmont-place, Trandsworth-read, Oct. 26, 1844.

I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that whica was, from its novelty ? the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom gain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, HENRI VILLENWLYI.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW.—On Sunday morn ing, at Glasgow, a fire broke out in the sugar-house occupied by Messrs. G. J. Wainwright and Co., of this town, formerly tenanted by Kirkland and Co. The fire brigade were soon on the spot. but the flames quickly communicated to the soapery of Messrs. Boyd and Co., in Clyde-street, and to the church almost imrceiately adjoining. It is stated that all these buildings, along with several dwelling-houses and their valuable contents, were destroyed. The loss is estimated to exceed £50,000, and, we believe, that one insurance, if not more, is effected in a Liverpool office. During the past week the attention of the fashionable world has been almost entirely absorbed by the view of the Countess of Blessington's effects at Gore House, Kensington, which, on account of her ladyship's retire ment to the Continent, are about to be sold by auction. Thousands of persons have crowded to visit the house, which contains many pictures by the old masters, but none of these are of very great importance. The most in teresting works of art in the house are an exquisite draw ing, by Sir D. Wilkie, of the " Grace before Meat ;" some spirited sketches, by Edwin Landseer and Maclise, including by the former a magnificent drawing in colours of a view seen through the arch .of a bridge ; a Dead Heron in a landscape, and a most characteristic portrait of Paganini ; and by the latter, several portraits of Lady Blessington, Count D'Orsay, Daniel O'Connell, &c. The magnificent portrait of Lady Blessington, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, one of his finest productions, and so well known from the numerous engravings of it, may be espe cially noticed. Count D'Orsay's works, both in painting and sculpture are, as may be expected, in great number, but are too well known to require any detailed account. There is also a large assemblage of china, plate, bijouterie, and a very extensive and well-selected library of books. The returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the sth of April are again very satisfactory, the increase of exports as compared with the corresponding month of last year (when the first effects of the continental out breaks became manifest, and there was a falling off from April, 1847, of nearly £600,000) being not less than £953,368. Cotton, linen, silk, and woollen manufactures, all show greatly increased totals, while the increase in yarns is but moderate. As regards imports; the quantity of the various articles of food and luxury taken for con sumption is also such as to denote a continued improve ment in the comforts enjoyed by the great mass of the people. Coffee shows a decrease, and likewise sugar, to a slight extent, but in almost all other items there is an increase. With regard to the raw material, there is an increased import of cotton and wool, but a large diminu tion in silk. With regard to other articles, there is a large increase in the importation of glass manufactures, and also of hides, leather manufactures, and gloves. In oils, quicksilver, and saltpetre, there is a decrease. In timber there is also a decrease in the import both of Bri tish and foreign, but in the latter description there is again an increase in the quantity token for consumption. CORRESPONDENCE. THE NAVIGATION LAWS.-MR. CARDWELL'S VOTE TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Sir James Graham, in his speech in the House of Commons in favour of the third reading of the bill for the repeal of the navigation laws said,— "As far as he could collect, the feelings of the nation on any subject were expressed through their representatives. Liver pool was a large port, and how d►d its members vote?" I would beg to answer this question of the right hon. baronet by asking another. Did Mr. Cardwell, one of the members referred to, vote in accordance with the views on the navigation laws which he professed when he be came a candidate for Liverpool ? In his printed address to the electors he said : "I will support no change in the navigation laws calculated to interfere with the growing prosperity of the shipping and commercial interests." In his speech upon the hustings on the nomination day, he said : " Prejudice has been attempted to be excited against him on the supposition that he meditated a change in the navigation laws prejudicial to their interests. He had given upon every occasion the most impressive negative to this. Would they be blinded by a cry, or would they be guided by facts? He re posed on their judgment with the most perfect confidence, and • felt assured that they would look with pleasure upon the adop tion of the measures which had tended to increase their com- mercial prosperity, and benefit so materially the shipping trade of Liverpool • and seeing him with the chairman of their docks upon his right hand, and the chairman of the Shipowners' Associaiion on his left, they would know by the company he kept that he was sincere in the advocacy of their commer cial prosperity." Now I would observe that Mr. Cardwell, a few days previously to that speech, had attended a meeting of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association (of which I was then as I still am, chairman), at which meeting he had learned that their opinions were decidedly opposed to the repeal of the navigation laws. If Mr. Cardwell did not intend that, by his reference to myself, as the chairman of the Ship owners' Association, supporting him on the hustings, it should be believed that he was himself opposed to the repeal of those laws, why did he refer to me " as chair man," in connection with that vital question ? I would ask any man of common sense to read the above extracts from Mr. Cardwell's address and speech, and say whether that gentleman has voted consistently with the spirit and evident purport of these professions, which I do not hesitate to say procured for him a large amount of support from mys-lf and others, decidedly opposed to the repeal of the navigation laws. 1 would add, that in numerous conversations which Mr. Cardwell had with me, he was fully aware that my senti ments were completely opposed to any such measure as Mr. Labouchere s bill : and by Mr. Cardwell's statements in those conversations, and by his language in public, as well on the hustings as at various meetings of electors during his canvass, I felt assured that he would ever be found a supporter of the vital principles of the navigation laws.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant, JOHN LOCKETT, Chairman of the Shipowners' Association. Liverpool, April 30, 1849. REPLY OF MR. CARDWELL TO MR. LOCKETT Whitehall-gardens. 4th May, 1849 Dear Sir,—l was surprised to see, in yesterday's Morn -hip Herald, a letter, bearing your very respectable signa ture, purporting to prove that I had voted upon the Navi- . . gation Laws, not "consistently with the spirit and evi dent purport of those professions which, you do not hesitate to say, procured for me a large amount of support from yourself and others decidedly opposed to the repeal of the Navigation-laws." You had not even the courtesy to acquaint me with this letter, either before or after you sent it to the press: but left me to obtain from the accidental perusal of a news- paper the knowledge of sentiments entertained by you, which I should certainly not have collected from any of my recent interviews with yourself. To support your intended proof you refer : I.—To a passage in my address to the electors, in which I say that " I will support no change in the Navigation-laws calcu lated to interfere with the growing prosperity of the ship ping and commercial interests." 2.—To a passage in my speech on the hustings, in which, referring particularly to the Navigation-laws, I spoke of the benefits conferred upon the shipping interest by the recent adoption of free trade measures, and then appealed to your presence with me as evidence ( I use your own quotation), " That he was sincere in the advocacy of their commercial interests." 3.—To a meeting of the Shipowners' Society, at which 1 was present ; and, 4.—To certain conversations with yourself, which made me " fully aware .that your senti ments were completely opposed to any such measure as Mr. Labouchere's bill." 1. Wben you wrote this letter to the Morning Herald, you cannot, I think, have been ignorant that the :first public step which was taken with reference to me at the election was this : A committee of the Conservative Association, deputed to select candidates in the room of Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas, agreed to recommend my name, with that of Sir Digby Mackworth, and reported accordingly to a general meeting of the association, held on the 24th of June, 1847. By that meeting the folldwing resolution was adopted :—" That this meeting do now adjourn until Monday, at half-past two, and in the meantime, the chairman be requested to correspond with Mr. Cardwell, M.P., and Sir Digby Mackworth, and to ascertain whether these gentlemen will give an assurance to oppose all endow ment of the Roman Catholic clergy and the abrogation of the Navigation Laws, should these measures be brought forward in the Legislature." This resolution was com municated to me, and I give you the whole of my answer, so far as respects the Navigation Laws :—" I do not anticipate any proposal either for the endowment of the priests, or for the repeal of the Navigation Laws. With respect to the Navigation Laws, I consider their object to have been the regulation of our trade and shipping, with an especial reference to our maritime supremacy. A committee has been sitting from the commencement of the session to inquire into their operation and effect. When they have closed their labours, I shall feel it my duty to consider the evidence, and shall not consent to any modifications of the Law which may appear to me cal culated to interfere with the prosperity of the shipping and commercial interests, and the maintenance of our maritime power. I request you will convey to the ad journed meeting my assurance that these are my genuine sentiments, stated without any reserve, and without any intention or expectation that I shall change them. Per mit me to add, respectfully, but firmly, that I decline to enter into any engagement, express or implied, which may fetter my free action in Parliament, or render it in compatible with my personal honour to pursue, from time to time, the course suggested to me by my sense of public duty." This letter was read to the adjourned meeting ; whereupon I was rejected by the Conservative Association. I did not receive their support. I encountered, as you are well aware, the organized and energetic opposition of that body. To these circumstances, when you quoted a passage from my address, you ought, in fairness, to have referred at the same time. 2. If you were disposed to sift my numerous speeches for some single extract which might give some colour to the impression you were trying to create, perhaps I have no reason to fear the effect which the one you have pro duced is likely to cause in the mind of any considerate reader ; but it would surely have been only fair not to have passed over in silence my repeated and emphatic declarations of my determination to give no pledge, even upon the subject of the navigation laws. I especially commend to your recollection the meeting which was held in the Exchange Ward, on the 26th of July, 1847, because, on that occasion, more fully than at any other of the ward meetings, I entered upon this subject. You will find, if you refer to the reports, that I dwelt at considerable length upon the absurdity of any opposition, on the part of the shipowners, to those general measures of free trade by whica the whole amount of the imports and experts, and, consequently, of tonnage, had been so largely increased, and closed my observations, as regarded the navigation laws, with words to this effect :—" Well, then, I say, gentlemen, I will consent to no change unless upon future careful inquiry, and full consultation with all par ties interested, I am satisfied that it would be conducive to the general good. And I state plainly, also, that, being so satisfied that a change would be so conducive, no power on earth should ever induce me to oppose it." 3. When you referred to that meeting of the Ship owners' Society at which I was present, you ought to have acquaint_ d your readers with the following resolutions, subsequently agreed to by that body, 28th July, 1847 : " Resolved,—That while this association fully acknow ledge the right of their chairman, in his individual capa city, and any of their members, to support the candidate each may think best fitted to represent the town of Liver pool in parliament, they are decidedly of opinion that Mr. Cardwell's explanations of his views on the navigation laws, volunteered to the said special meeting of this society, on the 23d instant, were not satisfactory to that meeting ; that these resolutions be printed and placarded and be published in the newspapers of to-morrow, as well as in any second edition of newspapers that may be pub lished to-day." You were aware tnat the passage you were quoting from my speech on the hustitigs had an especial reference to these resolutions, and to the effect they were designed to have on the election. It was with this view that I then again referred to the beneficial con sequences derived to the shipping interest from the recent adoption of a free trade policy. 4. You speak of my conversations with you at the time of the election ; but you make no reference to the recent interview you had with me, as one of the deputation who called upon me just before my recent vote. I then dis tinctly stated to you, that my language in parliament had been (as I thought) in perfect harmony with the language I had used at Liverpool. I reminded you that, on the second reading of this bill, I had adopted the following line of argument, viz., that the house should " go into committee for the purpose of obtaining a fair hearing for all reasonable objections to the bill ; a fair consideration for every interest which its particular clauses might affect; a fair discussion of every improvement which the wisdom of either side of the house might be able to suggest;" and that I bad since received a resolution in these words : " That, relying on the wisdom and justice of the House of Lords, the friends of British interests should continue a firm and uncompromising resistance to the Hill brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Labouchere, leaving to those who rashly labour to subvert the navigation laws the full and undivided responsibility of measures against the principle of which this meeting most solemnly pro tests." I stated to you, that if, under these circum stances, it had become necessary to vote simply aye or no upon the government measure, repealing (with the reser vation only given by the retaliatory clauses) those parts of the navigation law which regulates the foreign and colonial trades, the responsibility of that alternative rested with you; and that in such an alternative I was bound, both in consistency and by conviction, to give an affirma tive vote. _ I read to you also an extract from the report of the committee of the General Shipowners' Society, dated March, 1849, in which they state that " every possible endeavour should be made to enlist the sympathy, and engage the support, of other powerful interests ;" that " it is absolutely necessary that shipowners should decide between the two opposing principles, viz., the entire and unrestricted freedom of trade on the one band, or, on the other, moderate and just protection. That to the latter principle the committee adhere, and if shipowners at large determine to adopt and maintain it, they may be assured that not only will they receive the cordial assistance of the great agricultural interest, now trembling on the verge of ruin, from the rash application of ultra free trade doc trines," &c., &c. ; and I told you that if I became a party to such a combination as this, I should act in opposition to my recorded views, and outrage the just expectations of those who, knowing my convictions in favour of tree trade, had placed me at the head of the poll in Liverpool. To these statements you made no objections. You in timated no dissent. It was surely a strong ME sure on your part to send to a newspaper, without any communi cation with me, as a matter of condemnation, what you did not think it proper to express when you were confer ring with me, on behalf of a portion of my constituents, with reference to the vote I was about to give. You "do not hesitate to say " that my professions on rarnonrarl rnn nn,nnnl- of annnnrt from yourself and others decidedly Opposed to the repeal of the Navigation Laws ;" but you do omit to explain how it happened that you were an active supporter also of my friend and colleague. Against cusation of deceit. You do not petted to find him joining in a sty 'on . prefer no ac- mammicata - aim.asaiMlali LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. LATER FROM CALIFORNIA The steam-ship California has reached San Francisco. The gold region was still covered with snow, and, of course, we have nothing new from the diggings. There was a reduction in the price of most articles, owing to the expected arrivals from the United States. At the date of our advice, flour was 15 dollars, and pork 30 dollars per barrel. Lumber was enormously high. Small houses were wanted. Common labourers received 6 dollars per day ; carpenters, 8 dollars. One letter from San Fran cisco, dated February 20, states, that the nominal govern ment there continued the collection of revenue, notwith standing the circular of Mr. Secretary Walker respecting the matter, and all duties were paid under protest.

C John Lockett, Esq., Chairman R. LOCKETT'S REJOINDER pool, 7th Ma . • DEAR SIR,—I have to acanowled‘ ge 'the receipt of your letter of the 4th inst., being a reply to one addressed by ing Herald, upon the sub ject of your vote in litvour of the bill for the repeal of the me to the Navigation Lav There are two matters, not having a 4irect bearing upon the main question between us, namely, the consis- tency of your vote, which are so prominently put forward in your letter, as to have a tendency to dist!' tention from that 'question ; these are, your complaint of my want of courtesy, in not having communicated to you my letter to the Herald; the other, my omission in not having preferred against Sir Thomas Birch charges similar to those which I had advanced against yourself. With re spect to my want of courtesy, the offence, if any, was one of inadvertency, and not of intention; it certainly never occurred to me that you could remain by possibility igno rant of my letter. I did not suppose that the Herald, the organ of a great party on a question deeply interesting to yourself, and on the fate of which it is supposed that the existence of the present ministry depends, would not have come under your daily notice, or that you would have to derive a knowledge of my letter from 'an acci dental perusal" of its pages. However, I am by no means unwilling to express my regret that I did not ap prise you of its publication. With respect to Sir Thomas Birch, I could not with justice have brought against him any " accusation of deceit " upon the subject of the Navi gation Laws : he made no professions,—not one syllable upon that question appears even in his address to the electors. As regards the support he received from me, I him my second vote observe, by influenced to do this, ' bat in a great Iv " other considerations measure by the belief—shared in and successfully acted upon by all your influential supporters—that by so voting your own return would be decidedly promoted. nd, now, as regards the main question ; in your letter you accuse me, First,—Of want of fairness in not referring to some proceedings of an association existing in Liverpool, in 1847, called the Conservative Association, before I quoted the passage in your address, in which you say, " I will support no change in the Navigation laws calculated to interfere with the growing prosperity of the shipping and commercial interests." Having never been a member of that association, I can truly say that I was ignorant of the proceedings referred to. Whether that body rejected you on the ground that you did not sufficiently avow your opposition to the endowment of the priests, or that your opinions on the navigation laws were not satisfactory, or on what other ground, know not ; but this remark 4 I would now make, that if I had been present when your letter was read, in which, with reference to the navigation laws, you said—" I shall feel it my duty to consider the evidence, and shall not consent to any modification of the law which may appear to me calculated to interfere with the prosperity of the shipping and commercial interests and the maintenance of our maritime power"—(l take the liberty of marking the term modification)—l should not have supposed that within two years from that time you would have voted for their total repeal. You accuse me, Secondly,—Of want of fairness, when I quoted your speech on the hustings. in passing over in silence your " repeated and emphatic declarations" of your aetermi nation to give no pledge even upon the subject of the navigation laws. There are two modes of influencing the minds of electors —one, by the candidate giving distinct pledges ; the other, by a general and frequent expression of opinions, leading them, in either case, to the conclu sion that he will support or oppose certain measures. Of breaking distinct pledges I have never accused you. My accusation is this—that by language repeated again and again, in public and in private, and in many instances volunteered, you led your supporters to believe, that even after the most " careful enquiry" and " full consulta tion" with the parties interested, you would only consent to a " change" or " modification" of the law, not affect ing its vital principles ; and that after so frequently bring ing before them your so guarded, and, as it was consi dered, wise determination, you have unhesitatingly voted for total repeal. Thirdly,—You refer to certain resolutions of the Ship owners' Association of 28th July, 1847, and with consi derable boldness, but with no proof in support of the as sertion, you say that in quoting from your speech on the hustings, I was aware that it had an especial reference to those resolutions. I have searched through your speech, but I cannot find any reference to those resolutions, and my impression still remains that your allusion to me as " the Chairman," supporting you, was intended to create amongst the general body of electors a confidence in your soundness, if I may use the term, on the question of the Navigation Laws. I must say that so striking an allusion contributed to my own confidence. Fourthly.—Your conversations with me in Liverpool, from which, as I observed in my letter, I felt assured that you would ever be found a supporter of the vital principles of the Navigation Laws, you do not deny or explain, but instead of so doing, enter upon the less difficult task of narrating what passed at a recent interview in London. Into the details of that interview you enter most fully, and assume from them the following justification of your vote, viz. : —that because the supporters of the Navigation Laws proposed no modifications of Mr. Labouchere s bill, did not accept your invitation fora fair discussion of every improvement, you had no alternative but to vote for total repeal." I would ask, have you not been frequently told by us, that of that bill there could be no modification ? Has it not been admitted from first to last, by all parties, that that bill (the coasting trade and inter-colonial clauses excepted) must stand or fall as a bill of repeal, neither more or less ? Is it then either just or generous to en deavour to cast upon us the " responsibility" of your vote? And lastly.—lt was no part of my duty to remonstrate with you, at that interview, on the vote, which I could then only infer, you would give on the third reading. My task was fulfilled when, as one of the deputation, I stated to you the views and wishes of those I represented. Nor should I, after you had given such vote, have thought it necessary to publish my opinions, had not Sir James Graham made special reference to your vote, as represent ing the sentiments of this place, on the bill he was supporting. You will observe, by a reference to the proceedings of the Town Council, at their meeting on Friday last, to petition the Lords against the repeal of the Navisation Laws, that my convictions of your inconsistency are by no means solitary, but that Mr. Holme, Mr. Bromley- Moore, Mr. Tyrer, and others entertain, from facts de tailed by them, opinions on the subject in perfect accor dance with my own. 1 have the honour to be, dear sir, your very obedient servant, JOHN LOCKETT. To Edward Cardwell, Esq., M.P . . Bre, SCC JONES'S LAST NUMBER.—This lively publication con tains a few good hits this week. It contains, however, some blemishes, which we would gladly see avoided in future. We may instance the article " Christianity in the House of Lords," as one of these. Jones would do well, also, to eschew meddling too much with questions which can be much better discussed by journals of a more serious description. We 'take up his columns to be en abled to indulge in a laugh at the comical phases of humanity at large, and do not expect to be called upon to mix in the personal quarrels of either public men or individuals. DEATH FROM STARVATION.—An inquest VMS held yes terday, on view of the body of Nancy M`Dermott, aged 46, who resided in Henderson-street, Toxteth. Twelve months ago she was sent over to Ireland by the parish authorities. She returned in about a month, and since then had lived by begging. She had not had sufficient food, but never applied for relief, for fear of being again sent back to Ireland. On Friday morning she was taken ill. A surgeon, who was called, found her in a dying state, and she died the same evening. The cause of death was want of sufficient food. Verdict accordingly. DR. SANDIE'S LECTURES IN AID OF ST. CLEMENT'S SCHOOLS.—A course of most interesting lectures was delivered by Dr. Sandie on the evenings of the evenings of the 16th, 23rd, and 30th ultimo, in St. Clement's school room, on " the similarity of growth in the textures of animals and plants," the proceeds of which are to be given in aid of the funds of the schools attached to St. Clement's Church. Each lecture was well attended by an intelligent audience, including the Rev. F. Parry, W. H. Moore, Esq., &c., and we are glad to learn that the result will be very beneficial to the fund for which Dr. Sandie kindly volunteered his gratuitous and valuable services. The subject in his hands was no doubt novel to most of his hearers, although the perspicacity with which it was treated will have now rendered it as f am ili ar t o all, as it is important in itself. The comments and medical hints deducible from the subject, with which the lecturer wound up his course, were most instructive ; and, as well as the lectures themselves, were received with great grati fication by his hearers. ,e bubble of the gold re to attract attention and c the Rod Mountains than for any o gs are pretty muc hunger obliges him to give it for a morsel to eat, s one told inel the other day, there is n I shall mvselfreturn to Mazatlan ye ng anytlnn r. and I ••• ized P vessels tint 13 the I The New York herald Publishes - a had sailed from the United States for 17th of April, by whiCh it at lifornia up to the the total number pears tF 309, conveyi various routes, NEW' CANADIAN TARIFF SETTLED FRIDAY, APRIL 13. - "lciples of .—The pr: settled and determined by the L agricultural imports are to be th nadian products of like charact 10'STREAI same as are laid on Ca- ter in the Unite Raw materials are to pay nominal duties.

The result of those shipments was a complete clearance of British manufactures from the South American ports, which had been for many months pre viously over-stocked. The intelligence from the British West Indies is of no particular importance. It would appear that the new governor of Guiana was becoming popular, and that some compromise of the dispute with the court of policy might be effected. THE FETE AT PARIS.—The ceremonial passed off on Friday without accident or the slightest offer at distur bance. The ceremony was over at a rather early hour, for the defile of National Guards did not take up much time, there being only companies from each legion and no military. The people generally did not display any stronger feeling than that of curiosity, and even that of a languid character. The crowd was by no means great, and not a cry of " Vive la Republique' was heard. The cries, such as they were, testified respect for the President personally. SECOND EDITION.

The Marquis , of LANSDOWNE moved the second ing of the Navigation Laws Bill, in a long speech Lord BROUGHAM opposed the bill ; and was replied to by Earl GRANVILLE, Lord COLCHESTER, the Duke of ARGYLE, and the Earl of ELLENBOROUGR The Earl of CARLISLE moved the adjournment of the debate.—Carried THE MURDERER RUSH.—This hardened criminal, we find, has occasionally been in the habit of visiting the town of Liverpool as a " member of the turf," on which occasions he has come in something like aristocratic style We have been shewn two letters addressed Rusli to the proprietor of one of our leading hotels, ordering a bedroom to be prepared for him during his proposed visit. The first is dated 9th July, 1845, from "Fenton's Hotel," for the race-week of that year; and the second in July of the following year, from ' Arthur's Club." The felon's doom, which was to overtake the writer. was probably little anticipated, either by himself or those with whom he mingled . in fellowship on these occasions. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE REV with feelings of regret that we MILES FORMBY.— re called upon to re Friday, under circumstances of a most melancholy cha racter. The deceased, who was chairman of the bench of magistrates for the district of Ormskirk, attended in his magisterial capacity a meeting of the justices held on Fri day, in the court-house. He appeared in his usual health and spirits, and conversed freely with those about him. The business for which the meeting had been convened terminated in the afternoon, when the deceased entered into conversation with a friend, and while doing no he fell back in his chair and instantly expired. The reverend gentleman, who resided at Melling, held the incumbency of the parish church at that place, and was much respected, not only by those with whom, in the sphere of his minis terial labours, be came more immediately into contact, but by mast of the leading gentry and others throughout the county, The deceased was about 57 or 58 years of age. He was son of the late Rev. Mr. Formby, of Formby-hall, and leaves three brothers, John Formby, Esq., late of Maghull, also a magistrate of the county, Dr. Formby, of this town, and another brother, who is a clergyman in Kent. We understand the deceased was appointed to the magistracy in August, 1828, and has consequently discharged the important duties of his office for a period of 21 years. His death is supposed to have resulted from disease of the heart. IN RE WILLIAM LAIRD.—This was a case of consi derable interest, before the Bankruptcy Court, on Friday, involving the right of a public company to prove debts owing by one of the members becoming bankrupt. Mr. Laird, who was a merchant, lately carrying on extensive business at Birkenhead; was a large shareholder in the Birkenhead Dock Company, and had been sued by the company for calls to the amount of £12,000. Mr. Lowndes, on the part of the company, asserted their right to prove the debt : he had the power of attorney to prove the debt, and the copy of the judgment showing the amount sought to be proved. He did not see any thing like a co-partnership existing between the bankrupt and the Dock Company, and the company's consolidation act empowered the secretary or treasurer to sue a defaulting shareholder on the part of the company. Mr. Rigg, on the part of the bankrupt, contended that the company was not allowed to prove until the creditors were satisfied, in the same way as if one partner owed another a sum of money, and could not be sued by his partner until the other creditors under the partnership were satisfied.—His Honour observed that this was a different case to that of a regular co-partnership. It might be urged that the company could not prove their debt until the other cre ditors were satisfied ; but the tact should be borne in mind that the act of consolidation empowered thecora pany to sue any of the shareholders for non-payment of their calls. He apprehended, therefore, that the company had a right to prove the debt, which was proved ac ingly. A I JAWYER ANSWERED.—A certain learned lord, a member of the lower house, is pleasantly spending the Easter holidays in his native city of Edinburgh. His lordship and Lord Cockburn — a - re j intimate friends, and during last week the learned gentleman spent a day at Bonaly, the villa of Lord Cockburn, situated at the foot of the Petland Hills, a few miles from town. The two friends, accompanied by her Majesty's Solicitor-General, took a stroll on the hills before dinner: the day was drizzly and a strong east wind blowing. They happened to descry the shepherd, when the learned functionary took a bet with Lord Cockburn that he would put a question to Saundey Robertson (that is the shepherd's name) that he (Saundey) would not answer. On meeting, his lord ship said—" _Saundey, can you say anything in defence of the east wind ?" Saundey, elevatine his bo - nnet. instantly replied—" Yes, my lord, it weets the grass for the lambs ; it slackens the ewes ; and it's the will of God."
