Incidentally we have already hai occasion to men tion the indefatigable labours and brilliant but blood less achievements of his Excellency JAMES BROOKE, Raja of Sarawak, Governor of Labuan, and official representative of her Britannic MAJESTY in the island of Borneo. The presentation of the freedom of the city of London, enclosed in a gold box, accompanied by the acclamations of the Court of Common Council, and the deserved panegyric of the civic Chamberlain, affords a favourable opportunity for reverting to the distinguished career of this illustrious Englishman. Nine years have elapsed since a private gentleman embarked from the shores of this country in a yacht called the Royalist—a schooner of inconsiderable bur den, manned by a mere handful of mariners—on a scientific expedition to the Asiatic Archipelago. At the first his project was simply the advancement of human knowledge by gratuitous researches into the geographical position, the botanical productions, the zoological occupants, or the mineral re sources of those rich but in a great mea sure unexplored dominions. Like Sir JOSEPH Bk.:gas, he had a disposition which thirsted for the development of natural philosophy through the in strumentality of the science of navigation. And with this intellectual aspiration was doubtless com bined a vague ,intention to emulate the commercial enterprize, if not the diplomatic sagacity, evinced by Sir STAMFORD Rxese.us. Such was the indefinite scheme which conducted a gentleman of good for tune and healthful intelligence to the fertile plains of Borneo. The schooner sailed ; it reached the coast of that superb island; Mr. BROOKE, with scarcely a dozen companions, disembarked, and the vision, evoked by a generous but indecisive ambition, resolved itself into a magnificent reality. Instead of striving to acquire the celebrity of an ichthyologist, Mr. BROOKE resolved, with Gon's blessing to elevate himself to the dignity of an Apostle of Civilization. Hi s aim was no longer that of corresponding with the Royal Society, but that of correspond ing with the holiest principles of humanity and the pr i ma l d ogmas o f re li g i on . Ni ne y ears have elapsed s i nce t hi s no bl e pro j ec t was fi rs t con ceived and this sublime resolution first formed, and within that period the advantages of good govern ment and the Di v i ae revelations of Christianity have been explained to a race until then scarcely emerged from barbarity. Unassisted, and almost unnoticed, this spontaneous regenerator of his fellow -creatures has been enabled to infuse into the rudeness o f t h e and Asiatic islan ders which h a portion of that intelligence morality ,d as . c onduced So much to the happi ness of Europeans Unassisted, and almost unnoticed, h e was enabled conq uer the opposition of a benight e d people, and toto overcome those numerous and formidable obstructions which invariably impede the progress of a liberator. Without the dove of MOHAMMED, the nymph of NUMA, or the attendant demon O. ..,f SOCRATE S , he was enabled to commence the diffusion among an ignorant multitude of the truths of religion, l aw , and philosophy. For the natural instincts of morality are the basis of the Christian Evangel; the natural axioms of equity are the seeds of legislation ; and the simplest of the doctrines of utility and right con stitute the germ or the foundation of philosophic wisdom. These humanizing instincts, axioms, and doctrines have found in Mr. BROOKE an earnest interpreter for the Bornese. In the course of a few summers be has planted the standard of Christianity and civilization in the Asiatic Archipelago; and he has so planted it, that it can only be uprooted by some unforeseen and preternatural catastrophe. Not only have these benefits been assured by the ardour of this most disinterested philanthropist, but an in kulable advantage baa been conferred upon Cora merce generally, and especially on the vast commer cial enterprises of the modern Carthaginians. To " the Merchants of old England, the Seigneurs of the Seas," Mr. BROOKE must for ever appear as not the least distinguished of their benefactors. Hence it was doubly appropriate that the freedom of the British capital should be conferred upon the civilizer of Borneo, and the descendant of a Lord Mayor of London, by the municipal council of the most wonderful commercial metropolis in the world. Invested with the applause of his fellow-country men, robed, as it were, with the gratitude of England—to which his name has become a new honour—and crowned with the ap proval of his SOVEREIGN and the Government, Mr. BaooKE will return to the scene of his memor able adventures with additional capacity to serve in the cause of humanity. As Raja of SARAWAK he has acquired the affections of the population of a con siderable portion of the people of Borneo; as Governor of Labuan he maintains a line of facile communica tion between Singapore and Hong-Kong, and is thereby qualified to protect our trade in the Asiatic continent and archipelago ; and as the representative of her Most Gracious MAJESTY he is now enabled to com mand the respect and obedience of the race upon whom he has already conferred such benefactions. We think, nevertheless, that his Excellency should not return to Borneo without some other visible token of national gratitude. The baronetcy could not honour him; but he could honour the baronetcy. And never have the golden spurs of knighthood been won more glo riously, whether in the tournay or on the battle-field, than by 'Limits BROOKE, Raja of Sarawak. Within a few short weeks the decision of the Go vernment with respect to 'the monetary laws will be made known. At this moment the several members of the Cabinet are devoting their most anxious and attentive consideration to the nature and extent of the alterations that are to be brought forward. Much will depend on the people themselves, and the energy that may be displayed in the short interval that re mains before the assembling together of the Parliament. As we have already repeatedly pointed out, it is a ques tion of the most vital importance to every person in any degree dependent on his daily labour for his daily support. There are, we believe, few English men who, whatever might be their own position, would disregard the sufferings of their less favourably circumstanced brethren, even though their own personal interests were involved, and they might possibly obtain luxuries at a cheaper rate, on account of that general distress and destitution, or be enabled to stretch a fixed income to a greater extent. We are, therefore, satisfied that when once the public mind is fully en lightened on the subject, when once the people gene rally are convinced that the national prosperity and the welfare of the productive classes must in a great degree depend upon the adoption of a wiser system, and the circulation of a currency sufficient for the wants of the country, that no selfish con siderations will induce them to oppose the necessary monetary reforms, or to array them selves, in support of their own individual interests, against the general good of the community. But such persons cannot be expected to exhibit the same activity, to exert themselves with such devotion to the cause, as those to whom it is almost a question of life and death, on the result of which it will de pend whether they are to enjoy the comforts to which they have been accustomed, and which are suited to their station in society, or to want the commonest necessaries of life ; whether they are to be in posses sion of a competence acquired by their own honest industry, or to be reduced to a state of poverty and destitution; whether there shall be an opening for every intelligent and well-disposed man to advance his position and aspire to place himself end his family in a superior station, or that he should be wholly debarred from any such prospect, and if not com pelled to retrograde, at least kept stationary, and prevented from making any progress. We are eon vinced that there is scarcely an individual in this mighty nation whose real interests would be injured by a change such as we have suggested when advo cating the issue of a national note, that would answer every possible purpose within the country, and for which gold might readily be purchased by those who required it for exportation, while millions would be materially benefited, and their conditions greatly ameliorated thereby. We call, then, upon all in any manner interested in trade, commerce, or manufactures to come for ward and lend their aid ; we call upon the arti zans, the operatives, and the labourers to speak out upon this momentous question. Every demon stration made within the ensuing week will be of tenfold greater value than a similar effort at a later period. At present all that is known is, that the Ac of 1844 is condemned—that it must be erased from the statute-book. But the contest will tike place on the real cause of all the mischief—the Act of 1819—to which the suspended statute has been well described as a complement and a corollary, in fact, it is nothing but a more strict adherence to the former law. Any attempt to bolster up that fatal prin ciple, to maintain the fixed price of gold, must prove abortive, and lead to new evils, to repeated returns of destitution and distress, in which addi- tional sufferings will be endured, until the people, made wise by the afflictions they have sustained, will at length be aware of their mighty power, and in their irresistible strength will overturn the entire system that has occasioned such fearful calamities. There should be no stinted or limited measure of reform ; to prove effectual it should go to the very root of the evil. There must be a free trade in gold as well as in any other commodity. The money of the country should be something that can be obtained in our own dominions, of our own production. As Mr. DUNCAN, at the meeting of the Anti-Gold-law League, most truly said, " Money should not possess an intrinsic value. We consider that a sign is not the thing signified. Money is the symbol, token, or representative of the produce of labour. We recog ni.ie labour as the source of all wealth." This is the only just principle—the gold itself is only the repre sentative of the labour that is employed to obtain it ; and whenever, either from the discovery of new mines, or any other cause whatsoever, gold can be procured by the expenditure of less labour, its price or value must be proportionately deteriorated, no matter what efforts may be made to render it invariable. But why should so expensive a representative be made use of, and more particularly why should that be selected which is not the result of the labour of our own people ? It is an enormous waste of our national resources to have 50,000,000/. sterling passing from hand to hand when every purpose could be as fully answered by the: adoption of that which would not cost fifty hundreds. As Mr. DuNcAN stated, "an instrument perfectly valueless is quite competent to discharge taxation and distribute industrial produce amongst ourselves ;" and that is what we require, guarded with the utmost care against any abuse, and placed under the control of a board responsible to Par liament and to the country for its judicious and prudent management. But there is a reason, if pos sible, more urgent than any we have hitherto used, and which renders the alteration still more essential. The national honour may be placed at the dis posal of a foreign potentate if the present system is persevered in. It is scarcely necessary for us to remind our readers, that the Russian AUTOCRAT in the course of the present spring caused no less than 30,000,000 of silver roubles, equivalent to I 4,600,000/. sterling, to be invested in the purchase of securities, chiefly English stock ; this was in addition to the sum of 2,000,000/. sterling just before ad vanced to the Bank of France in the purchase of tv,h,ee find no inscription les o f French Ilentes. Here, then, s than 6,600,000/. whi c h ' the EMPEROR may at any timbullion e sell hisown out, and withdraw th e amount in. minions. W e have already the fearful effects of a dr a i n o f s i x or sevenwitnessed million si of gold, although it took pl ace gradually, for food provided for the people; and winmetxchange m be the consequence of a sudden takotitold away of more than four milli ons and a half in gold, without any equivalent whatever ? If it occurred during the existence of the present system, it would at once lead to a general convul sion, and paralyse our entire trade and commerce, and all the productive powers of the nation. How could we, i n th e f a ce of such A contingency, dare to TH_C SUN, LONDON maintain liberal institutions, or oppose any wish of the CZAR, who could in a moment ruin half our merchants ? This alone would be a sufficient reason for the change, if no other existed. We may, on a future day, trace more fully the possible consequences of this investment to the country in general. At the meeting of the Swiss Diet, on the 25th, a dispatch from the Government of St. Gall was corn municated to the assembly, announcing that the re volt had been suppressed in that canton, but that the Governments of Zurich, Argau, and Thurgau, had nevertheless thought proper to call out the entire of their first contingents. Colonel Durotra, the Com mander-in-Chief of the Federal army, took the oath in the presence of the Diet, by which it was decided that orders should be forwarded that night for the levy of 50,000 men. The Diet was informed on that day that Switzerland would be surrounded by a military cordon on the side of Austria, Bavaria, Wir temberg, and France. The Grand Duke of BADEN had refused to participate in the blockade, saying that he felt no apprehensions from Switzerland. The Deputy of Lucerne having asked if the levy of 50,000 men was a commencement of execution of the coercive measures, the President replied that the Diet would give its attention later to that object. M. ANERUYN, the Federal Chancellor, a native of Lucerne, has resigned his office. It was rumoured at Berne that the first expedition would be against Friburg. The following is the letter of apology written by the President of the Swiss Directory to Mr. PEEL, the English Charge d'Affaires : " The President and the Council of State of the Federal Directory have hastened to lay before the Government of Berne the complaint that Mr. Peel, the Chargé d'Affaires of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, addressed to them on the 21st of this month, on the subject of the deplorable incident which occurred to him during the preceding night, and to invite that Government to give him an expla nation on the subject. The Government of the can ton of Berne immediately commanded an inquiry to be instituted, from which it appears that the sentinel on duty at the gate of Morat, after midnight of the 20th to the 21st inst., as soon as he saw a person ap proaching, called out three times in the German lan guage, " Who goes there ?" a question prescribed by the military regulations, and arrested the person unknown, who wished to pass. The guard having taking arms, brought the person, whom it pretends it did not know, i n t o th e guard-house. But as soon as the guard perceived by the card which the person unknown presented, that it had to de with a person of a high position in society, it awakened the gendarme attached to the guard house, who recognised the British Minister. Mr. Peel was no longer 'prevented from returning to his hotel. The Government of the canton of Berne, in transmitting this information to the Federal Direc tory, expresses its most earnest and sincere regret on the subject of this deplorable incident, and the Fe deral Directory, on its side, considers it an act of duty to repeat to the Charge d'Affaires of Great Bri tain the same sentiments, expressing to him at the same time how much distressed it is that Mr. Peel should have had to endure anything so disagreeable as the circumstance above stated. The President and the Council of State of the Federal Directory have the honour to renew to the Charge d'Affaires of her Britannic Majesty the assurances of their most distinguished consideration. - " The President and the Council of State ol the canton of Berne, Federal Directory, and in their name, " The President OCHSENBEIN. " Berne, Oct. 22, 1847." Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived. The Gaveta publishes the following : " ROYAL DECREE. " In conformity with the advice of the Council of Ministers, and in consideration of the reasons mani fested to me by my Minister of Finance, I hereby order the suspension, until the Cortes shall have de termined on what is most convenient, of the execution of my Royal decree of the 11th of June last, relative to the sale of the property of the four military orders, and that of St. John of Jerusalem. " Given at the Palace this 20th of October, 1847, " Signed by the Royal hand. (Countersigned) " FRANCISCO ORLANDO, Minister of Finance." On the 20th a Ministerial crisis had existed in con sequence of the attempts of MARIA CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ to coerce the unfortunate QUEEN into the dismissal from her service of the Aya Doxe. CATA LINA and the Count of SANTA COLONNA, who are personal friends of the QUEEN. CHRISTINA coaxed and NAR VA EZ bullied in vain. The QUEEN declared that she would, if the attempt were persevered in, instantly dismiss her Ministers, and the attempt was for the time abandoned. The odds, however, against the unfortunate young QUEEN were too strong; she was alone against CHRISTINA, NAaveEz, and the Ministry, and, after two days' struggle, she was forced to yield to their threats, and her friends are consequently dismissed. The QUEEN is now a captive in her own Palace, all her friends have been driven from her presence, and no person, diplomatist, or otherwise, is permitted to have access to, or to hold communication, with her MAJESTY save known and sworn Afrancesados. The whole of the medical attendants of the Court have resigned, and a certain NUNEZ has been ap pointed physician to her MAJESTY. Contempo raneously with this change in the medical staff reports were industriously circulated in Madrid by the paid agents of the Afrancesados that the QUEEN'S health was suffering, and that a voyage to Italy had been recommended. Other agents of the same party, and paid from the same purse, are circulating the most atrocious reports against the character of the QUEEN, and, although these wretches have been denounced to the police, to NARVAEZ, and to MARIA CHRISTINA, they are still permitted to proceed in their dirty work unmolested. The all but openly avowed object of these atrocious intrigues is to get the QUEEN out of the country, under pretence of ill health, and to inaugurate a regency, composed of CHRISTINA, NARVAEZ, and the Duchess of MONTPENSIER, whose French education has, it is supposed, by this time, eradicated every spark of patriotism or feeling for Spanish nationality which she may have once possessed. A lett. r from Olot, in the district of Gerona, states that a small band of Montemolinists marched into it on the evening of the 15th, uttering shouts in favour of the Count DE MoNTEmor.l3.;, and that they re mained there for some hours, notwithstanding there was a garrison of 200 men. Lord CAN3ING has left Madrid for London. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 23.—Three per Cents. were done at 26 5-16 for ea:.ll, and 2G4 at 50 days; the Five per Cents. at 161 for paper ; the Debt without interest at 53-; and the Coupons at 13. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. A Cabinet Council was held on that day at St. Cloud, at which the KING presided. The affairs of Switzerland were discussed, and M. DUCIIATEL and M. GUIZOT warmly advocated an armed intervention in the affairs of that country. The Minister of War is, it is said, opposed to an armed intervention, and the KING is in favour of exhausting every means of settling affairs amicably before having recourse to such a measure. The measures adopted by the English Government to relieve the pressure are the subject of comment in all these papers. The Bullionist Debats says— " We would willingly define the hardy measure adopted by the British Government, not as a Govern ment illegality (coup d'etat), but a cast of the dice (coup de de). It is possible that the measure may succeed, and that the Bank may win the game. It is possible that the Bank may lose. It must win if the increase of its paper in circulation does not slacken the movement of gold, which was beginning to flow into England from different points of the commercial world, and if it does not rather occasion a fresh ex port of that metal—if, in fine, the Bank, in order to maintain sufficient gold in its coffers with which to change its notes, should not be obliged to adopt a new restriction, which would become more dangereus after the expansion of credit which is about to take place. We do not wish to predict, but we find it im possible to contemplate this unknown future without a certain apprehension. We have seen by the Bank returns with what rapidity bullion left its coffers, and what a feeble reserve remained. What would be the consequence if this movement should still continue, or if it should recommence after having ceased—the certain consequence of a return of confidence induced by the decision of the Bank ? It is certain that nt.The Trade a t m h a e se the English e r l ves appearsm utco h hl4a, c vi capitalists i resumedt thoseal is ts nor di s atannetspeculatorsw consequencesl ife occupy and w e, have rarely seen a resurrection so prompt and so re markable." The National, celebrated for its hatred of banks, bankers, and capitalists, against whom it wages " war to the knife," is of opinion that the distress will be eventually increased if it be intended at any time to retitrn to the Act of 1844. " The new facilities given by the Bank," says the National, " will no doubt revive some good houses, but how many bad ones will take advantage of them ? Ard how is legitimate trading to be distinguished from speculation ? On the other hand anybody who attributes the crisis solely to a want of circulation is strangely mistaken. The true cause is a deficiency of metallic currency. Now what will be the effect of the measure ? Will it attract metal to England? That is doubtful. This is probably what will be the the result :—The Bank of England will perhaps issue 2,000,0001. worth of bank -notes. Those 2,000,0001. will be circulated, and will relieve those most em barrassed. So far, so well. But these 2,000,0001. are payable in gold at sight. Now, who can say that those into whose hands they may pass will not demand their repayment ? Thence a new cause of the dimi nution of the metallic reserve, and consequently a forced diminution, because in a moment of crisis money is quickly withdrawn from circulation. Now, the evil consists precisely in the forced diminution of the re serve of bullion. Consequently it is to be apprehended that, after a passing and precarious relief, greater distress will be experienced within a period not far distant." The Conservateur argues in the same strain, but there is one important element that all these parties seem to have left out of their consideration, and that is the great improbability that Parliament will per. mit the experiment of 1844 (the signal failure o: which is now, on all hands, acknowledged), to be re. peated. On this point we entirely agree with the Constitutionnel, which says—. " What will be the ultimate fate of the Bill of 1844 ? Is it suspended temporarily, only to be again brought into force when present circumstances shall have passed away ? Lord John Russell, indeed, seems to announce by his letter that he wishes to maintain a law which has established the circulation of the country on a solid basis. But to us it appears difficult to restore to its vigour a Bill that has once been suspended. It is evident, in fact, that the re strictions it imposes were especially applicable to epochs of crises like the present, when specie must be rare from exportations to foreign countries. Now, if the Minister declares that under critical circum stancesthese restrictions cannot be taken off without alarm, how can he maintain their utility in ordinary times? We, for our parts, doubt whether the Bill of 1844 can ever recover again from the check which it has received." A pamphlet from the pen of M. CAPETIGUIS, en titled La Presidence du Conseil de M. Guizot et la Majorite de 1847, is just now creating a great sensa tion in the political salons of Paris. Prepared under the immediate directions of M. GUIZOT himself (so runs the rumour), this pamphlet is put forth as a feeler, to ascertain how far the Government dares venture in its policy of reaction. The writer advo cates the restoration of the law of primogeniture, and the abolition of the liberty of the press and of trial by jury. It is a high bid for the support of the absolutist powers, but it has overshot its mark, and has created such a feeling of disgust throughout France, that M. GUIZOT has himself been obliged to denounce it in the Debats as a code of reaction, and to decline the compliments paid to him by the author, as the man of all others best fitted for the accomplishment of the task of destroying liberty in France and re storing things to the state in which they were before 1789. The Moniteur Parisien of yesterday evening has the following :- " The post-boat destined to act as a batardeau, or breakwater between the present floating dock at Cherbourg, was, in the evening of the 25th, put on one of the slips of the building yard of Chantereine for some necessary repairs. Under this circumstance it was impossible tbr vessels to go out of the dock at high tide without great risk, and therefore it was resolved that the post-boat should be again launched when the tide fell. In performing this operation the fastenings of the hawsers and chain were broken, and the boat came down the inclined plane with such ve locity, that the shores, by which it was supported, were scattered with great force in all directions, and killed seven men employed in the yard, and wounded twenty-three others more or less severely. These latter were carried to the hospital, and have every care taken of them that their cases require, and the Minister of the Marine has given orders for relief to be afforded to their families. 'We read in a letter from Toulon of the 23d :- "According to information, which there is reason to believe is correct, the Mediterranean squadron is to be divided as follows on the coast of Italy. The Ocean, the lona, and the steam-frigate Panama, at Genoa ; the Freidland, which hears the flag of Rear- Admifal TREHOUART ; the Souverain, and Cacique steam frigate, at Spezzia ; and the Jupiter, at Porto Ferrajo. The Descartes and Magellan steam-frigates are on observation, one in the Adriatic, the other in the Bay of Naples. Vice-Admiral the Prince de JOINVILLE is, it is still said, gene to Civita Vecchia in the Titan steamer."

Half-past Twelve—Other houses are expected to fall, and workmen are engaged in shoring up, to prevent accidents. A body of the C division of police is actively engaged on the spot. THE COURT.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.--The reigning Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg are expected to arrive at the Castle on Tuesday next, upon a visit to her Majesty and the Prince Consort for a month or five weeks. The day at present fixed upon for the departure of her Majesty (who will be accompanied .by her illus trious relatives and a portion of the Royal Family) f or the Isle of Wight is Thursday, the 11th proximo, it having been arranged that the birthday of the Princ e of Wales shall be kept at Windsor. The Court will pro bably remain at Osborne House for ten days or a fort night, returning to the Castle and remaining until after the Christmas holidays, when her Majesty and the Prince Consort will pay a short visit to Clar'mont.

There are various rumours, but we shall carefully avoid particular reference thereto. It is bad enough in these times to have to record facts. The public securities have been further depressed, and there is a decline of full k per cent. There needs now very great exertion to keep up the market, and cash bears too high a rate to be freely in vested. At the same time, Exchequer-bills are rather better, viz., 19s. to 15s. discount, and it is a question whether this arises from the greater ease in the Money Market, or from the impression that a funding will be resorted to. Consols have ranged from 81 to 801 for present Transfer, and from 814 to 80i for Account. The New Three and-a-Quarter Cents. have been 81 to 80i. Bank Stock is worth 185. The Foreign Market is heavy. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 21i ; Spanish Five per Cents., 16;, and the Three per Cents., 264 to 27. Dutch Four per Cents. have been at 81.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. no Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. The .sales of the week are 22,200 bales. The market has been firmer this week. Stock, 420,000 bales against 571,300 bales at this time last year. For Railway shares there was rather a better inquiry. The Bank of England returns are this week of rather an important character, and we give them at more than the usual length. Another week of Peel's Bill and it is our firm conviction that there must have been a suspen sion of discounts, such would have been the demand upon the resources of the Bank in consequence of the timidity and indisposition to accommodate in the ordinary chan nels. In all probability now the Bank has the power to increase its issues, other discount establishments will be anxious to compete with it for business, and hence a gradual relaxation of the pressure may occur. The notes unemployed were not much over 11 millions, as the Bank was compelled to make use of them to meet dividends, and to make advances upon other securities.

This case, which was in part heard on the 14th ult,, was resumed this morning. Mr. 'Wordsworth appeared for the defendant, and Mr. Dodd, solicitor, for the plaintiff. The action, it will be remembered, was brought for the purpose of recovering compensation in da mages for an alleged false imprisonment, on the charge of robbing certain premises, in Maddox-street,, of goods to a considerable amount. The plaintiff in the case was the butler of the defendant, whose pro perty had been stolen during the absence of the fa mily on the continent. Iqr. Field and Clarisse Betue were called, with view of showing that upon the return of the defendant they immediately discovered the robbery which had taken place. Inspector Beresford was called, and stated that he had received information of the house in Maddox.. street being left without any person in charge of the property. He made a report of the circumstance to the authorities at Scotland-yard, who apprised the defendant, then residing in Norfolk, of the same, and in reply to that communication the defendant wrote to the effect that he did not consider it proper, in consequence of robberies which had been committed on a former occasion when he was out of town, to leave any person in charge of his property, and ex* pressed his willingness to pay any charge w hich might be mad e by th e a tt en d ance o f a po li ce - o fficer to watch the premi ses d ur i ng hi s a b sence. Mr. WORDSWORTH', on behalf of th e d e f en dant, con tended that ther e was sufficient grounds for suspicion of the plaintiff; an d th a t h e was per f ect l y justified in giving him into c us t o dy. Th e f ac t o f M r . Bi n gham, the magistrate, having remanded the plaintiff when brought before him, proved that there was some rea sonable ground of suspicion. Mr. DODD contended that the fullest amount which could be awarded by the Court would be but a poor compensation for the injuries which the plaintiff had sustained. The Learned JUDGE, at the conclusion of the case, said that he would give his judgment in the case on Monday next, at ten. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ___ _ OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) 0n the applic a ti on o f M r . S erg eant Winxitss, the rial was postponed of William Ashcroft, alias Jameson, a cooper, aged 39, and who is indicted for having placed large stones on the Eastern Counties Railway, so as to endanger the safety of persons tra velling by it. MANSLAUGHTER.— Wm. Joseph Clifton, a middy aged man, and who was said to be a printer, was in dieted for the manslaughter of his wife, Matilda Clifton, by having kicked her on the person, and otherwise seriously injured her. Mr. Baldwin conducted the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. O'Brien. Margaret Goodwin, a person who lived in the same house, deposed that early on Sunday morning, Oct. 3, a quarrel took place between the deceased and the prisoner, during which he kicked her. The deceased o was drunk at the time,ainvfgtee afterwards and scahkroedvds p e provoked o hert a v hi k hfe e i ss d ho the hee eehau head. He r e i nn s uoc o et n er and nox t sp s a t r r ied i s k sh e eed he wh r oi s b u y lsdo t rn h ro r o o tw w h a yoked him. Elizabeth Clifton, daughter of the prisoner, twelve tyheearpsroisfoangeer,esatmate home thated about on Saturday, eight aturda o'clock, y,2dofOctober, a nd he and her mother went ou t t oge th er , an d did not return until about twelve o'clock. Witness was in bed at the time, and was awoke by a cry from her mother. She called the prisoner a bad name, and, after having her supper, she called him another bad name, and threw a shovel at him, which struck him on the bead. The deceased had drunk a quartern of gin and half a pint of beer, but the prisoner had taken none. On going out of the room the deceased applied another epithet to him, when he turned round and gave her little kick from behind. The deceased called out "Oh I" and the prisoner immediately went to her as sistance. He said he had no wish to do it, but she had aggravated him by calling him bad names. Mr. S. Caldwell, medical assistant, who was called in to see the deceased, d escr ib e d th e i n juries which he had received, and stated that he found a great quantity of blood on the floor, and also on the stairs, and that her clothes were also saturated with blood. Mr. Pollard, surgeon, Hatton-garden, said he at tended the deceased at the request of the prisoner, but he found that she was dead. On making a post mortem examination, he found an internal lacerated. wound an inch l ong an d h a lf an i nc h d e ep. veins were ruptur e d, an d th e woun d w as sufficlveeentrtaat cause the flow of blood which he saw in the room and on the stairs. The wound was caused by violence, and did not arise from natural causer. A behind might have produced it. Mr.O'Brien addressed the jury on behalf of the pri- , soner, and observed that this case was anotherillus tration of the fatal consequences which always nate' I - 114. 4u3. 10 3 4 41%) 19 3 / 4
