COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ngs in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell, Watson, and Channell.) LEE T. COOL Mr. Macauley, Q.C., moved on a previous day to al'er the verdict for the plaintiff, or an arrest of judg ment. The action was tried before Mr. Justice Cresawell at Lincoln, and was brought by the plaintiff, a farmer, against the defendant, a rate-collector, for a trespass, and illegally dietraining a second time. It appeared that after th• first sale the plaintiff refused to allow the property to go off the premises, and the defendant had to distrain again. Rule refused. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, Justices Coleridge and Wightrnan.) THE QUEEN T. THE BOARD or WORKS FOR ST. °LATE'S, SOLITIIWABE. Sir F. Thesiger appeared on the part of the Metro politan Board of Works, to show cause against a rule calling upon them to show cause why an order for compensation, made by them should not be quashed. It appeared that by the Metropolitan Board of Works Act, of 1855, compensation is to be given to officers of local boards for loss of emoluments, &c. Just before the passing of the act the defendants gave Mr. Dupree, who had been their clerk, notice, which he accepted, and ceased, it was alleged by them, to be any longer their officer. He, however, claimed c pensation, which the local board refused, and he than appealed to the Metropolitan Board, whose drecision is final in these matters. They dec►ded that Mr. Dupree was an officer of the local board, and awarded him compensation. The 230th clause of the Metro portan Act takes away the issue for certiorari on the acts, orders and proceedings of the Metropolitan Board, except as " specially provided," but, strange to say, the act does not make such "special provision,," and the learned counsel contended that the certiorari had been improperly issued. After hearing the arguments on both sid,eg, The Court quashed the certiorari. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBORO UG H-STREET. • RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON AN OLD WOMAN.— Richard Doody, a stout, middle-aged IriArnan, was charged before Mr. Beadon with violently assaulting Mary Camay, a feeble old woman, residing at No. 4, Lloyd's court, Crown-street, Soho. The complainant, whose head was bandaged up, stated that the prisoner lived in the same house as she did, and was employed by the landlord, who was inspector of nuisances, and his deputy. This morning about nine o'clock the prisoner's wife came up to her room and said the landlord had called the overnight for his rent, and bad requested her to ask witness for ss. rent due. Witness said she did not owe more than 25., and would go down and speak to the prisoner about it. She accordingly went down stairs and saw the prisoner, to whom she stated that she owed no more than 2s. to ber landlord, and if prisoner said she owed more he (the prisoner) must have spent the rent she bad already paid him, as he had done more than once before. The pri soner then became exceedingly excited, called her a drunken old —, and then took up a broomstick and broke it in pieces over her head. Her son came to her aid, when the prisoner put him hors de combat by a blow on the back with a fire shovel. Prosecutor's head was much cut, and she was rendered insensible. She was subsequently conveyed to the hospital, where her wounds were dressed. Pans, 28 C, took the prisoner into custody on the present charge. The prosecutor was bleeding copiously from a wound in front of her head. She was taken to the hospital, and the surgeon dressed her head. The surgeon told witness it was a dangerous wound, at least two inches wide. Mr. Be4don said it was a bad case, and remanded him for a week. IVES PAINSTER. A GAN( OP " MouoffErts."—George Macdonald, a rough, powerful-looking fellow, was charge with being one of a gang of fellows who go about defrauding tavern keepers and other tradesmen, termed " monchers," and with committing an assault. Mr. Smith, proprietor of the Horse and Groom, George-street, Chelsea, stated that last night the defen dant and four or five others entered his house, and bering called for several pots of ale, refused to pay for them, and rushed towards the doors. He endeavoured to detain them, in order to get his money, when defendant as• sanited a person in the house. George Marlowe, a respectable citizen, said that hear ing a disturbance at the bar of the house, he left the room in which he was sitting to see what was the matter. He found defendant and hie companions endeavouring to escape, and as he (complainant) was standing in the doorway defendant struck him a violent blow on the eye. A policeman proved that after this assault the fellow took to hit heels and ran off, but was pursued and cap tured. Mr. Paynter asked whether anything was known of bim. Deuness, the gaoler, replied that be bad been charged with a similar offence previously and convicted. Defendant said he did not call for the ale. Mr. Paynter said it was quite clear that he had swindled the landlord, and then committed an unpro voked assault. He was committed for a month. TIIANIES. SCANDALOUS ROBBER!' OY A SAILOR.—EIIen Fitz gerald, a very bold and savage prostitute, well known to tie police ' was brought up en remand before Mr. Salle, charged with stealing 381. from the person of Abraham Smith, a Russian Finlander, in a house of in terne, No. 8, Perseverance-place, a continuation of an infamous locality called Palmer's Folly, Ratcliff High way, where a great many seamen have been plundered of their hard earned wages, and shamefully beaten and ill-used. for the pris ener , Mr. Daniel, c l et k to Mr. Si d ney, a so li c it or , a ppeared tinge taken f rom h er f i ngers by t h e po li ce w h en s h e was and applied for the restoration of 3 goici taken into custody. Mr. Daniel urged that the posses. scion of the rings had nothing to do with the charge of robbery. _ . Mr. Selfe said the police might give up the gold rings to the prisoner. Mr. David thanked the magistrate, and then asked him if he should be of opinion that the case was made out to dispose of the case summarily. Mr. Sella did not know that he could do so. The facts were these, and perhaps Mr. David was not aware of them. The foreigner, who bad been lately paid off from a ship, met the prisoner on Saturday fortnight, and he then had 421. in his possession, and gave the woman 41. for the consideration of staying and boarding sect lodging with her f(ir a week. The suitor remained with her until the following Monday, when he was decoyed into a room, in which were several other womeu and a man, and they held him while the prisoner cut off his stocking, in which he had deposited his gold, and took the whole of it; away. Some parties after wards waited on, the prosecutor and returned him 71. with a view of compro mising the case, and a very absurd receipt was given. If what the poor man said who had been so scandalously plundered was true, how could he dispose of such a case summarily. It was a case for a jury. Mr. Daniel urged that the prisoner had been in cus tody 10 days already. Smith repeated the evidence he had given on a former occasion, and said that he received 841. 13s. when he was paid off three weeks ago, and he had not got 40a. left. Ile wanted to go to sea again. Mr. Selfe said the sailor was a foolish man to get into such bad company with so much money about hits, and asked the prisoner if she was guilty or not guilty I The prisoner—l am guilty, sir. Mr. Selfe disposed of the case summarily by sentencing the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.) LONDON, Nov.

The following is the communi cation forwarded to Mr. Dodson on Saturday evening : " Downing-street, Nov. 14. "My dear Sir,—l have taken into consideration the memorial from the hop-planters of the county of Sussex, which was left in my bands yesterday, suggesting that upon prompt payment of one-half of the scorning No vember instalment of hop duty now due, the payment of the remaining moiety may be postponed until May next ; and I regret to say that I cannot comply with this request. At the same time, I have no objection, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, to accept from the memorialists a moiety only of the duty now due, and to grant them until the 016th of February next for pay ment of the remainder, on the express understanding, however, that the duty on the first moiety of this yea r ' s growth, due on the 16th of May next, shall be paid at that period. Instructiow to this effect have been issued to the Board of Inland Revenue.—l am, dear sir, yours faithfully, "G. C. Lewis. "J. G. Dodson, Esq., M.P." It will be seen by the above that Sir George Cornewall Lewis has not granted the prayer of the planters to its full extent. Their request was for a postponement until May, whereas the Chan cellor of the Exchequer has given them till Feb. ruary,—that is, an extension of credit for three in stead of six months. The remarks made by the right hon. gentleman at the interview on Friday, and the terms of his letter above given, sufficiently indicate the reasons which weighed with him in fixing February, instead of May, for payment of the instalment now due. Sir George Cornewall Lewis desires, it is plain, to guard against any further application for indulgence ; and he obviously concludes that if the November and May payments are divided, so as to fall due in February and May, the Sussex planters will find less diffi culty in meeting them than if they had to make provision for both payments at one and the same date. The Sussex planters have thus again suc ceeded in staving off a payment which they them selves openly declare could only have been duly met by the most ruinous sacrifices. How much longer will they be content to submit to—indeed, in many instances, to support—a duty the inci dence of which is the avowed cause of their being periodically reduced to a condition which threatens them with ruin, and certainly entails no slight degradation upon them as men of business ? How long will they consent to exhibit themselves periodically before the country as suppliants at the feet of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, suing in forma paupertis for r e li e f f rom a tax which at other moments they cling to with desperate tenacity, avowedly in the miserable hope that it may oc casionally shield them from competition, and, by preventing the importation of foreign hops, force their own to an artificial price ? We repeat, how long will the hop planters of Sussex be content to exhibit themselves in this wretched, nay, degrad ing position ?

The sport, too, was not devoid of interest, and the Handicap was speculated upon—in town especially—with much briskness. The "office" in London %as, perhaps, the strongest in favour of the Epsom horses, of which the jumper and turned loose Red Rose figured the most prominently in the race. The success of St. Giles proves the truth of the emarks which I made respecting his Liverpool running, and would seemingly indicate that to the heavy ground only must his defeat at Aintree be attributed, The Anglesey Stakes, for which four " baby " horses ran was won by a most promising youngster belonging to Mr. Barber. He is a brother to Mary. This stake last year introduced the public to Heroine and Polly Peacbum, but it is questionable whether it has brought animals of equal "calibre" on this occasion. The events set for to-morrow will, of course, be mate rially regulated by the result of to-day's racing, I shall, therefore, only refer to them with the utmost brevity. With such ease did Special License wi❑ at Liverpool, that, looking at the field he his likely to meet here, I shall not, despite his 14lbs. extra, be surprised to wee him win the Stewards' Cap ; he is, however, also entered for the Gold Cup—for which Le has much the best of the weights—it is, therefore, at present impossible to say for which event he may be intended. For the Nursery Plate I shall select The Happy Prince and the Glenluce colt, and either Mabel or Master Begot may win the Monkmore Plate. . . . . So few sporting topics are there at present that it is almost impossible to extend my notes to a respectable length ; when I next address the reader, however, I will endeavoer to entertain him with some Derby gossip.

An address to the people of the United Kingdom, embodying a scheme of Parliamentary Reform, of which a copy is given below, and emanating from a committee composed partly of members of the House of Commons and others of the advanced iberal class of politicians, has just been printed, and is now in course of circulation and signature. It may not be generally known that towards the end of Juno last a meeting was held at the King's Arms Hotel, Palace-yard, o f men b ot h i n and out of Parliament, with the view of enlisting under one banner, so to speak, as many notable individuals as possible in all parts of the country in favour of a reform in the representative system, and of r e d uc i ng their views upon the subject to something like a creed, for which they would be prepared to contend whenever the question was again brought under the consideration of Parliament, either by Lord Pal merston or any other member. At that meetin g , w hich was held with closed doors as being only of a preliminary character, there were about thirty members of Parliament and others present, includ ing among the rest Mr. Roebuck, M.P., who acted as chairman, Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Mr. Clay, M.P., Sir John Trelawny, M.P., Mr. Platt, M.P. (now dead), Mr. U. N. Philips, M.P., Mr. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. White, M.P., Mr. W. Williams, M.P., Mr. Samuel Morley, and Mr. Edward Miall. The result of their deliberations was the appointment of a committee, consisting of several of the gentlemen already named and others, with Mr. Roebuck at their head, who were charged with the duty of drawing up a programme of Parliamentary Reform, and of ..übtnitiing it for approval and suggestion to the leading Reformers throughout the kingdom. The committee prepared such a project accordingly, and have lately been engaged by means of corres pondence iu eliciting the opinions upon it of men of that class reriiiling at a distance from the metro polis, and subsequently in altering and remoulding it so as to bring it into harmony with the prevail ing feeling on the subject. Iu this shape it was finally settled and adopted at a meeting of the com mittee held recently at the Guildhall coffee-house, at which Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Mr. Clay, M.P., Mr. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. White, M.P., Mr. W. M. P., Mr. Edward Miall, Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. J. P. Gassiot, Mr. Whitehurst, secretary to the Ballot Society, and others, were in attendance. It was not, however, wo b Hove unanimously agreed to. Mr. Ayrtou, for one, it is understood, took exception to parts of it, and especially to the proposition for extending the county franchise to 101. occupiers, which lie thought would swamp the legitimate influence of property in the election of knights of the shire, and tend to array town against country in a way to which he was altogether ad verze. Too manifesto as approved is as follows : "To TU PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. " Fellow Countrymen,—Her Maj ;sty's Government hare led you to expect that they will lay before Parlia ment, next sessi,n, a bill for the reform of the house of Commons. In that announcement you heard the echo et the determination you asowel at the late general election. It bids you speak again, and with more pre cision. That that promise may not be illuiory, it behoves von to make known the sense in which you will acc,.pt " You seek Parliamentary Reform in order to insure Ministerial responsibi.i!y. No mea. , ,ure failing of this would answer your object. Have you a right to antici pate that with this end in view Goveriement will spun tatieously offer what you wid be satisfied to receive f If disposed to help you, they will be glad of your instruc tionv—if indisposed, it were well to let theta know your ' demands. In any case you are called upon to say what will content you, or your silence will surely beconstrued into a lack of interest in the subject. " The existing machinery for the constitutional expre,e- Rion of public opinion is inadequate, and to a large extent untrustworthy. The constituent body is needlessly re sincted. Considerable portions of it are expsed to the disturbing action of illicit infieencoe. A largo mej,rity of members is returned by a small minority of elector , . Tee legal term of Parliaments is too long to insure the responsibility of t opreeen tativee to the represented. These are the main defects of the present system. The results are class legislation, bad administration, financial extravagance, and a foteign policy always beyond your control, and often opposed to your wishes. " A Reform Bill that will remedy these defects will no doubt satisfy you. Moro anxious fora substantially true representation of your wants and interests than for a theoretically perfect one, you will not reject a ma chinery which promises to do your work because it is not scientifically exact. But, while, on the one hand, you forbear to demand what, in the present state of public opilion, is plainly unattainable, beware on the other, lest, presuming on your inaction,theGovernment should force upon you a deceptive and inadequate measure. Should you permit yourselves to be defrauded, of the advantage which the passing opportunity offers you, a quarter of a century may elapse before you are favoured with another. " Fellow-countrymen—Wo, whose names are here unto subscribed, cii , ;claimincg all right or desire to dictate, but anxious to elicit a definite expression of your will, and waving abstract rights, recommend you to insist upon the following leading features of Parliamentary Reform, as calculated to unite in support of them the largest number of voices, as capable of being attained by resolute and united efforts, and, as promielng. if adopted, to secure a real and effective representation of your po- litical interests : " 1. The extension of the borough franohise in Eng land and Wales to every male person of full age, and not subject to any legal incapacity, who shall occupy as owner or tenant in part or whole any premises within the borough which are rated to the relief of the poor. " 2. The extension of the county franchise in England and Wales to all 101. occupiers at least ; and the assimi lation, as far as possible, of the franchise in Scotland and Ireland to those of England and Wales. " 2. Protection to the voter by the ballot on a plan similar to that adopted in the Australian colonies. " 4. A reappointment of seats, that shall make such an approach to an equalisation of constituencies as shall give in the united,.kingdom a majority of members to a majority of electore. "5. Abolition of property qualification for members. 6. The calling of a new Parliament every three years. "Fellow.countrymen,—lf this broad outline of Par liamentary reform meets your view—if, in your judgment, it is adapted to the occasion—if it comprehends as much as you can hope to get and as little as you could be satisfied to accept—it is for you to say so, and to say so in time. This business is yours, and if you wish it done you must do it yourselves. On our part we are ready to aid you, as best we may, in placing this sketch of reform, properly filled in, upon the statute book of the realm." THE 'RIA I. This case has at length been brought to a conclu sion. At the afternoon sitting of the court on Sa turday, M. Langlois pleaded for Lemairo ; be en deavoured to convince the jury that, though guilty, the man was only the instrument of Hugot and Villet, and that the revelations he had made entitled him to merciful consideration. M. Salmon, advocate of Villet, contended that there was no positive proof of his participation in the crimes committed, and that he ought not to be condemned on the as sertions of such men as Hugot and Lemare ; the ut most, the learned counsel said, that could be proved against him was that he had been a receiver of stolen goods. The same learned gentleman pleaded for Villet's wife, son, and daughter. At the sitting of the court on Sunday evidence was given to prove that the elder Villet had gone to Beraneourt, and minutely inspected the scene of the murder of De champs—a fact which, like all others alleged against him, he had energetically denied. Counsel then pleaded in succession for the other prisoners, and the procureur-general replied. That done, the Pre sident asked Lemairo if he had anything to say for himself. "Sir," answered the prisoner, who seemed greatly discouraged, "I have told the truth—l have nothing to add !" " And you, Hugot, have you anything to say ?" "I also have told the truth, Monsieur le President !" answered the man, who was deadly pale. The same ques tion was thi.n put to Bourse, and he answered it with apparent indifference in the negative. The elder Villet was then called on, and gesticulating, with a handkerchief in his hand, he said :—" Gen tlemen of the court and of the jury, you have heard my learned and illustrious advocate. I confide in what he has said to you in such eloquent terms— ho has proved to you that I am not guilty. Gentlemen of the court, and gentlemen of the jury —I can say so s demnly, because it is the truth— lam innocent 1 There is a God in heaven ; he will sooner or later make known the guilty patties, and proclaim my innocence !" Villet, who for the last two or three days had lost much of the marvellous self-possession and acuteness which he ha l at first manifested, displayed great agitation as he spoke, and sat down with tears in his eyes. The other prisoners severally declared that they had nothing to say. The President then com menced his summing up, and had not concluded when the court rose. At the sitting of the court on Monday morning, the four principal prisoners, on being placed at the bar, manifested much dis couragement. The genda'mes watched over them with incessant attention, to prevent them from committing any desperate act. The President then resumed his surnialin , up, and concluded it at half-paA twelve, by submitting not less than 800 questions to the jury. The jury afterwards retired, and remained in deliberation until three o'clock the next morning, when, as we learn by telegraph, they acquitted Jean Villet and Fournier, and convicted the other twelve. The court condemned. Lemaire, H ugot, Bourse, and the eLler Villet to death ; Prosper Villet to hard labour for life ; Villet's wife to ten, his daughter to eight, Rabache to seven, end Hugo''s wife, Pillot, Prevost, and Caton, each to live years of the same punishment. The interest excited by the trial in the town continued unabated to the end, and to a late hour at night a large crowd remained collected in the vicinity of the Palais du Justice. FIZN:NCH OPINIONS ON TILE FALL OF DFLHI. Several of the journals comment with asperity on the events that occurred on the capture of Delhi. Thu Constutionnel says : "All Frenchme❑ have rtad with surprise and indig nation that passage from a letter of an officer of the victorious army of Delhi (and not in an official report, as was at first stated, owing to a mistake of the translator), in which it is coolly narrated how all the inhabitants of the town that were met by the English soldiery were put to death. The officer says :--` Forty or fifty persons had got together and concealed them selves its some houses ; they were not mutineers, but resident, who, relying upon our habitual clemency, 'mood for pardon. I ant glad to say they were disap• pointed.' Such an act and such a sentiment require no comment. . . . Oar neighbours have latterly complained that they are not liked in Europe. We feel hound to tell them frankly that acts such as these ara not of a nature to conciliate sympathy for them in France. We cannot rejoice at their successes in India, unless they observe the laws of humanity, and maintain the honour of European civilisation." The Univers exclaims : "Disappointed 1 What a delicate expression to intl• mate the fact that the throats of these individuals were cut for no other reason but because they resided in Delhi I The English journals, while gloating over de tails like these with delight, continue to protest against the cruelty of their enemies 1" The Gazette de France, as might be expected, is more violent than any of the other journals " We see in these atrocities, against which no voice has been raised in the London press, a proof that Eng land has renounced all hope of bringing back to sub mission to her sceptre this vast empire which has thrown off its allegiance. The war is not one of repression or reconquest, it is a war of extermination. England openly adopts the doctrines of terrorism, and puts them in practise in Hindostan England fs the only nation of the present day capable of stretching the rights of warfare to the extent of slaughtering, without mercy, the entire population of a city taken by assault. The spectacle which she has given to the world places her out of the pale of civilisation awl humanity. It is impossible to doubt that the sentiment of universal reprobation which she has excited must have impor tant consequences for her. She may conquer the Sepoys, but she cannot conquer the publsc opinion of Europe—she cannot conquer God. No, we will never believe that she can restore her rule over the Indian peoples by these horrible means. Conquests, unaccom panied by moderation, clemency, and that solicitude for the well-being of the subjugated people which springs from a sense of right, are never durable. A ttila, and other man-slayers of his class, passed over the earth like a pestilence; they founded nothing, never conqueredany thing in reality. Arid so will it be with the English in India ; the blood they have shed will cry out against them and engender new martyrr." It is a relief to the foregoing to quote the follow ing remarks from the Presse :-- "The English victory at Delhi, at which we rejoice with all our hearts, was accompanied by some acts of excessive severity. These acts aro to be regretted ; but let us beware ot exaggeration ; and, above all, let us avoid that ridicule which must ever attach to a display of indignation in cold blood. We love clemency, we ad mire generosity, and we are not of those who think that to strengthen the foundations of any power whatever it can be a good thing to bathe them in blood. This, in our view, is but an elementary teaching of morality, or of what is the same thing, policy enlightened by experience. But, although these doctrines cannot be too often called to mind in the face of parties who forget and Governments which violate them, can it iu conscience be said that they are rigorously applic able in India after the frightful tragedy which has been playing there for the last four months t Is it possible, is it just, to institute a comparison, as certain journals have done, between the Sepoys and the English sol diers—between Nana Sahib and General Havelock t The Sepoys surprised and cut the throats ot defence less English —men, women, children—without allowing them time to escape to the mountain and the jungle, there to trust to the tenderer mercies of tigers and hyenas. The English showed no mercy to scoundrels who had ripped up, cut in pieces, burnt, and violated their wives and children. There is, it appears to us, a very considerable difference between the two cases ; and therefore the Spectateur very sensibly re marks when we think of the savage acts committed by the Hindoos, and the horrible situation in which the English troops were placed during upwards of four months, one can neither wonder " at their exasperation nor judge their conduct harshly.' THE LATE SIR T. ST. GEORGE. —Sir Theophilus John St. George, Bart., whose death at Port Natal, in Au. gust last, is just reported, was the second but eldest sur viving son of the late Sir Richard Bligh St. George, o Woodegift, co. Kilkenny, by hie second wife, Bridget, eldest daughter of Theophilus Blakeney, Esq., of Abbert, no. Galway. He was born in 1810,and succeeded to the title at his father's decease, in January, 1852. He was twice married ; Ist, in 1836, to Caroline G eorg i ana, 2d daugh ter of Mr. Joseph de Lautour, of Hottom Hou s e, H er t s; and secondly (having been left a widower in 1842), in 1847, Maria, eldest daughter of Mr. John Power, of Ctiurchtown, county Waterford, who survives him, and Liy whom he has left a dangoter. By his previous narriage he had a daughter and two sons, the , lder of whom, Richard tit.. Latent., born in 1837, has succeeded as fourth baronet. Sir Theophilus, who had been a magistrate at Port Natal, since December, 1852, traced his pedigree up to Captain Richard St. he George , tli who went over to Irel an d in the early p art of rn of the the be came e gov century with the royal army, and bees n town and Castle of Athlone, and whose as elder brother wa raised to the peerage of Irelan d Lord St. George in 1715—a title which, having b ee n a g in 1775, grandsonain revived in 1 7 6 3, became extinct at the death of his without having male issue.
