Affairs, will cheerfully concede that the correspond- I ence relative to the Montpensier marriage ought not to be further protracted. It would be at once generous and dignified in us to adopt this course. Whatever :zinc have been the political differences between our selves and the French, no man, in his senses, can seriously entertain the supposition that the latter nation, so sensitive upon points affecting their honour and integrity, will view with approbation the humi liating policy which M. GUIZOT has sanctioned. For ourselves, gratified as we are with the eclaircissement, so favourable to the ability, and—what is of far greater consequence—the good faith, with which Lord PALMERSTON has acted throughout, yet are we much more concerned that the chi valry, refinement, and instinctive integrity of our neighbours, should have been confided to the guardianship of a Minister who has proved himself to be devoid of every one of those ennobling senti ments. None but a mean and jealous mind would think of identifying the national character of France with the repulsive and isolated acts of a self-dis honoured man. By suffering the diplomatic dispu tation to terminate, Lord PALmerisToie would be observing a silence which could not fail of being gratefully construed by the French into a graceful commiseration on our part for the cruel position into which they have been brought by M. GUIZOT. All that has hitherto passed in the French Legislature was based upon the garbled and mutilated documents which their own Minister had laid before the Cham bers. A due vindication of the injuries she has re ceived, France herself, it may be safely depended upon, will not be slow to require. Hu manity itself' is shocked at the bare contem plation of M. GUIZOT'S public career. But yester day, as it were, how high and fair stood the temple of his fame! How tremendous the crash with which it has now fallen to the earth 1 The melancholy ruins will ever present a fearful warning to present and future statesmen against courting the favour of royalty at the expense of their country's good. The last dispatch of M. GulzoT epqn; .rpa no oom ment. It is of a piece with all his former ones— Telunz imbelle sine ictu. Completely jesuitical and absolutely repulsive throughout, it is at the same time fraught with palpable contradictions and attenuated hypocrisy. Untruths are reiterated with wonderful pertinacity, notwithstanding that Lord PALMERSTON had previously scattered them to the winds. It is somewhat facetious in M. GUIZOT to observe " We must have looked to the things themselves, and not merely to the form of the communications and influ ences." And yet M. GuizoT's chief pretext against Lord PALMERSTON was built upon the fact, that the name of a Prince of the house of Coburg happened to be at the head of a list, enumerated by Lord PAL MERSTON, of candidates for the hand of the Queen of SPAIN. This formal arrangement of names in a dispatch, and not a candid regard to " things themselves," was insidiously twisted by M. GUIZOT into a marked preference on our side in favour of the Prince at the top of the list. The task would be a loathsome one to travel through the shuffling discrepancies of the last missive to the French Am bassador. They all lie bare on the surface, and speak for themselves, which happily renders it unnecessary for Lord PALMERSTON to take any further notice of a subject which, from first to last, has been charac terised, on the one side, by contemptible intrigue, and, on the other, by unimpeachable integrity. the President of the Directory, IJ. Frank, by the Count de Reinhard, first secretary of the French Embassy, the Osten. bible object of which was to ainortace that he would fill the office of charg6 d'affaires during the absence of the Ambassador, M. Bois-le-Comte. But this interview was of a much greater importance, if itbe true, as asserted, th a t M. Reinhard held a language N% hch proves that the affair of Cracow has had a powerful re-action on the conduct to be followe,l in future by France rorards Swiss cantons hostile to the separatist cantons. Pd. Riinhard is said to have ex pressed himself in terms leaving no doubt on this point, that the French Government had paitively refused to join in the demonstrations of the Austral), Prussian, and Russian Cabinets." Madrid papers to the 24th have arrived. The Duke of SOTOMAYOR liming failed in his endea vours to form a Cabinet, had resigned the task. The QUEEN then sentfor Senor MoN who, however, persisted in his refusal to attempt the construction of a Ministry, and eventually the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES undertook to attempt, in conjunction with Senor CAsTno Y OROZCO, the construction of a Cabinet of which Senor BRAVO Munnxo and Senor PACHECO should be members. As Senor PACHECO objects to join any Ministry of wbich Senor Mow is a member, Seller SANTILLAN will, it is said, be the new Finance Minister. Erne debate on the Address was concluded in the Senate on the 22d. We have already expressed our cordial approbation of the Government proposition for an extended poor law in Ireland, giving a right to the destitute and im poverished to obtain the relief which their necessities may require. Although it came last in order of the three modes of interference, by which it is hoped that country may be permanently benefited, its vast im portance induced us to give it the precedence it deserved, and to postpone to a subsequent period our observations on the earlier suggestions offered by the Premier. The first great principle laid down is to render such assistance to individual proprietors as to enable them to improve their properties, and at the same time to afford the greatest possible degree of employment to the surplus labour of the country. The measure that has already been resolved on for this purpose has been for some time before the public, having been put forward in the Treasury minute of the Ist December, and the explanatory letter of Mr. TREVELYAN. It was at that time fully commented on. and rived ivitn Lbe greatest approbation by all classes in every part of the kingdom. By the amend ments that will be introduced the Drainage Acts will be consolidated, the difficulties that have hitherto pre vented them from being made fully available and pro ductive of that national advantage which might reasonably have been hoped for from their general adoption, will be obviated. The tenant for life will be enabled to obtain that assistance as readily as the owner in fee, when it shall be established, by compe tent evidence, that the improvement, of whatever de scription it may be, whether by draining, embank Ig,' reclaiming, or otherwise, may increase the permanent value of the land to such an extent, that the persons having remote interests may not be pre judiced, or their future incomes diminished. The rate, however, of that increase we conceive to have been fixed at too high a standard : the Ist and 2d Wm. 4, c. 33, which, as amended by sub sequent statutes, has been taken as the basis of the new enactments, provides that the increase of value consequent on such an outlay shall be at least ten per centum on the amount proposed to be expended there on. At the time that this was fixed on as the mini mum rate the period for the repayment of the full loan was far shorter than that to which it is now about to be extended. The interest, too, was charge able at not less than five per cent., whereas 3i only will now be required. The entire advance will, by the present arrangement, be liquidated by half yearly instalments, at the rate of 6} per cent. per annum ; and surely the rights of the remainder-man would be sufficiently protected if the estimated im provement were equivalent to the annual charge, and that 6f were substituted for ten per' cent. per annum; indeed, when the object for which those advances are to be made is taken into considera tion, this aid afforded ; that it is to provide full and adequate employment for the labour of those persons who would otherwise be supported in idleness; that it is not merely as a profitable investment of capital, a speculation that should be encouraged solely on account of the pecuniary returns that may be looked for, but that the general occupation that will thereby be afforded will diminish the burden of the poor rates, will render the able-bodied pauper a useful member of society, a producer of national wealth, instead of an object of terror to the poor-law guardian ; that it will lead to an increase of the general produce, so that a sufficiency of food may be raised in our own land for the consumption of all its inhabitants—a far lower rate may justly be fixed upon. In this respect, therefore, we hope that an alteration may be announced when the discussion of the Ministerial measures is again re sumed. In every other particular the measure is an admirable one, calculated to afford the greatest en couragement to all parties anxious to discharge the duties they owe to the public, to bring into the high est degree of fertility and culture that portion of the soil, the property of the State, which was originally granted for the purpose of being used and made productive, and not of being suffered to remain barren and valueless. The Chamber of Depnties have elected two more Vice- Presidents from amongst the opponents of the Isturitz Ministry. Senor SALAMANCA and Senor ROCA DE TECORES are the two recently-elected Vice-Presidents. The Secretaries are the Duke of ALBA and Senors VAIIEY, COELLO, and FULGOR. The Chamber was thus fully constituted, and would proceed immediately to consider the Address in reply to the Speech fromithe Throne. The Tiempo:states that Senor OLozAcIA has addressed a request to the Chamber of Deputies to be allowed to come to Madrid, either as a prisoner, a Deputy, or as a simple Spanish citizen. We have received the French papers of Friday and Saturday. The Ministerial journals, the Debate, the Epoque, and the Presse, undertake the defence of M. GuizoT against the charges of bad faith in the con ducting his negotiations with Lord PALKERSTON and the Marquis of NORMANBT. This defence consists in a repetition of th. assertion vf COBURG was put forward as an English candidate for the hand of the QUEEN. With regard to the Mite- FLorcEs mission, M. GUIZoT says, that what he stated was the fact—that the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES did not come to solicit the KING of the FRENCH not to oppose the Coutrao marriage. The Debuts adds:— " In declaring what M. de Mirafiores had not come to do, was he obliged to say what he had come to do? Was he bound to say, for instance, that the Envoy of the Court of Madrid was charged to demand in pressing terms from the King his consent to the marriage of the Duke de Montpen sier with the Queen ? Was he bound to inform him of the King's answer? We are very sure that Lord Palmerston himself would not exaggerate to such an extent the claims that he might have to th e confidence of the French Go. vernment.', We leave this defence to speak for itself, always re membering that this visit of the Marquis of MIRAFLORES to Paris took place before the rupture of the entente cordiale; that no intimation of the object of the mission, or even of the missio❑ itself, was given to the English Government, and that the English Government had it self been the first to give information to M. GutzoT that Queen CHRISTINA was intriguing for a Coburg al liance, and that such a project would have no support from England. The miserable quibble about the mar riages not taking place at the same time is thus sought to be explained away:— " It is certain that at the moment that M. Guizot was in communication with Lord Normanby on this point the French Government itself opposed the fact of the two mar riages being effected together. If it was obliged to change its resolution, it is neither it nor the Spanish Government that ought to be reproached for doing so." This is a perfectly different explanation from the one given to the Marquis of NORMAIRBY, and is evidently an afterthought. Had the case really been as M. GUIZGT here states it, he would never have descended to the use of a subterfuge. the Montpensier Opposition papers continue the polemic on the Montpensier marriage, and there can be no doubt but that the debate in the Chamber will be very animated. The Constitutionnel of Saturday contains the following on the subject of the Bank of France:— " Count d'Argout read on Thursday, to the general meet ing of the shareholders of the Bank of France, a report of the operations of the year 1846. The principal results are already known from the quarterly returns. It appears that notwithstanding the money sent from London, the reserve has only reached the sum of 84,000,000. It has been stated that M. Lebobe has proposed to re• constitute the old capital of 90,000,000, brissuing 22,100 shares withdrawn from cir culation from 1516 to 1820. We believe this to be an error. M. Lebobe does not form part of the council of the Bank, and the council, if we are rightly informed, is not to deter mine before Thursday next on a proposition brought forward on this point by one of its members." From the tenour of a lengthy article in the Sema phore de Marseilles, :t would appear as if the French con as a counterpoise to Gibraltar. !"mu- 1 -*" —"lngiof Oran an impregnable fortress, The National is exceedingly irate with England for taking possession of the Island Labuan. Food riots still continue to take place iu various parts of France. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies charged with examining the estimates for 1848 had chosen M. BIGNON for its chairman, and Messrs. MAGNE and FOULD for its secretaries.

However, before he h a d accom plished his objec t, the shop became fired from end to end, and the flames were rising with such fury that none of the residents were able to gain the street-door. Fortunately they were enabled to effect a retreat from the back of the premises. Ore of the lodgers, whilst descending w ith a child in his arms, fell through a windo w and seriously hurt his hands.

An abundant supply of water having been obtained from the mains in the district, the firemen set to work, and by carry ing the hose into the building, they were enabled to attack the flames in the right quarter, and soon got the fire sub dued, not, howe ver , until the whole of the stock in trade was destroyed, and the premises seriously burned.

The other propositions which are stated to be under the consideration of the Government, and which belong to the first class of measures, have for their object the freeing of real property from the chains and fetters by which its free transfer is restricted, and for facilitating the sale of encumbered estates, and thus ultimately ob taining a more solvent and wealthy proprietary, and also for converting the long leasehold tenures for lives, redeemable for ever, into perpetuities. This latter provision was strongly recommended in the Report of Lord DEvoN's Commission, and will get rid of much annoyance and inconvenience to all parties. Means will also be taken, as far as possible, to establish the same degree of connexion between landlord and tenant that now happily exists in Great Britain. It is impossible to overrate the importance and beneficial effects of these contemplated measures when brought into perfect execution. The full ad vantages may not be immediately attained, but they will imperceptibly tend to, and ultimately produce, a healthier state in the local relationship between land lord and tenant. A. letter from Berne of the 26th ult. says— " There is great talk here about a visit made yesterday to MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was without change as regards prices. Sales, 6,000 bales, including 2,000 bales of American on speculation, and 500 bales of Egyptian for exportation, at 9d. per lb. Railway shares were rather better. _ The great monopolists of grain and flour will be much excited when they learn that at Mark-lane this morning a fall of not less than ss. per quarter has taken place in wheat; in oats, Is. to 2s. per quarter; and the same decline in peas. Now that the market is on the decline supplies are coming forward very freely, not only in the great metropolitan, but in the whole, or nearly so, of the provincial markets. A much greater fall may be anticipated in all quarters, and it is to be hoped that the poorer classes may soon have the benefit of the late rather heavy reduction in bread stuffs. The bakers of the metropolis were pretty " slick," as Brother Jonathan would say, in raising the price of the loaf when the markets first began to take an upward movement. Of meat, also, the arrivals are immense. In the past week not less than 6,000 car cases have come to our markets from Scotland, and 9,000 to 10,000 from various parts of England. This is a pretty plain proof that the prices are falling in the country. Here prices have gone back this morning, with little animation on the part of the butchers to purchase, but from hand to mouth, as the phrase is. In the Discount market there is rather more demand for money this morning, active preparations being made to meet the payments of bills which will become due on the 4th inst. The principal discount houses are not over-ready to take in cash, at call, at a rate of interest over 3 1 ,‘ per cent. There has been a heavy market for Consols and other securities this morning. The first bargain in Consols for the Account was at 91%, but a fall almost immediately took place to 91 1 . For transfer the value went back from 91% to 91. Bank Stock has just been done at 203, or at a fall of 2 per cent. on the opening rates. All the other Funds are proportionately lower. 'Exchequer-bills opened at 45., and are now at Bs. premium. India Stock is firm at an advance to 250. In the Foreign Market the transactions have been but few this morning, but the tendency is principally in the same direction as that for Consols. The Four per Cent. Portu guese Bonds have just receded from 35 to 34; Russian from 111% to 110%; Spanish Actives from 24 3 / 4 to 24%; the Three per Cents to 34 3 / 4 ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 58. Grenada Stock, on the contrary, is rather higher, having touched 19 1 % 5 . There are but few exceptions where sales of Railway Shares have been made this morning at Saturday's prices. Money appears to be in demand among the dealers in the Share Market. The corrected prices at which business has been done this morning are annexed:— BRITISH FUNDS.

In large 12m0., price 6s. 6d. , strongly bound, the Third E 4 lition of ADICTIONARY of the ENGLISH LAN GUAGE, containing the Pronunciation, Etymology, and Ex planation of all Words authorised by eminent Writers : to which are added, a Vocabulary of the Roots of English Words, and an Accented List of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names. By ALEX. REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School, Edinburgh. In this work, to which the Author has devoted the labour of several years, an attempt has been made to compile a School Dictionary adapted to the present state of the English language and to the im proved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have become obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same time grouped in such a manner as to show their etymological affinity ; and after the first word of each group, is given the root from which they are derived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a vocabulary ; so that the Dictionary may be used either for reference or for teaching derivation.

Before many days have elapsed the great national question of the improvement of our sanatory system will be submitted to the deliberation of the Legisla ture. It would be utterly impossible to exaggerate the importance of a matter so intimately connected with the health, the comfort, the morality, and the commonest decencies of society. And it is a pecu liar satisfaction to know that the modification and re arrangement of our sanatory laws will not be under taken prematurely or precipitately ; that the Govern ment is not blundering into a concession merely for the purpose of stopping a momentary clamour ; that, in short, the consciousness of the necessity for some such modification, and some such re-grangement, has grown upon the mind of the nation through a gradual succession of years, becoming day by day more obvious to the multitude and the Ministry, both from the unanswerable logic of Reason and the India- ' putable statistics of Experience. Conspicuously as the name of SOUTHWOOD SMITH has become asso ciated with this remarkable movement in favour of cleanliness, the extent to which that movement has become diffused throughout the community is not alone attributable to him ; the cause has found advo cates in a thousand quarters, the people themselves have acknowledges 070 ndvisabillry of some slipr.t;o» in their parochial proceedings, and for a very consi derable time the Press has endeavoured to stimulate the thirst for social reformation and to enunciate the real anxieties of the population. All the preliminary measures, indeed, for insuring a change in the laws of the land have been taken ; the potential impulse of National Opinion has been given to the Legislature ; the SOVEREIGN herself has recommended the consi deration of the sanatory wants of her subjects to her faithful Lords and Commons ; the Ministry is deci sively pledged to the introduction of some compre hensive scheme to Parliament—a scheme bearing directly upon the monster exigency, and calculated to dissipate all the existing evils. With so many villanous pests to remove, so many difficulties to obviate, and so many and such compli cated interests to consult, it is only natural that the Ministerial proposition about to be laid before both Houses of Parliament should be characterised by many deficiencies. This, we repeat it, is but natural. In the first step of a grand reform it would be folly to anticipate a panacea for all the ills which it is intended to correct. We must discard the advice afforded by HORACE as inappro priate to legislation, whatever it may be to poetry; we must advance with all rational caution up the scale of Innovation, instead of plunging in mediatots, and surrounding ourselves with new and yet more/Ik tricate difficulties. Meanwhile, it would be equally pernicious to nullify the efficacy of our legislative enactments by an exaggerated timidity and an over weening precaution. Either extreme would be most prejudicial, and, as with almost everything else, the best course is the preservation of a proper medium. There are two things, however, which we would emphatically impress upon the minds of our country men—first upon Parliament, and secondly upon the people in their particular localities. And we would the more especially impress these things upon them at this moment, seeing that the Ministerial proposi tions are on the very eve of their appearance. First, upon the Legislature we would earnestly re commend the extension of their scheme of reformation in the sanatory laws to every one of the more con spicuous abuses. We would see in the measures in troduced by the Cabinet no glaring omission or re markable oversight. We would see in those mea sures an individual remedy to every individual evil manifestly tending to diminish the health of the population. Rejoiced as we should be to find the Parliament called upon to aid the more extensive establishment of public baths and washhouses, we should be more than disappointed to find the Govern ment silent upon the question of intermural inter ment. In the same way, the introduction of a good sewerage Bill would be a great boon, it is true, but it would be no compensation for a complete disregard of the advisability of forming abattoirs and of sup pressing the system of private slaughter-houses. The diminution of the smoke nuisance, again, would scarcely satisfy us for the postponement of any effort for the better introduction of fresh water into our towns. To be brief, we shall not be contented, and the people will not be contented, unless the Legis lature sweep away all the most crying abuses of social life. ....„........-. Secondly, we would enforce one consideration upon the people in their municipal capacities. We would see them prepared for the more necessary en actments of our rulers, so that the sanatory mea surea of the Legislature may be carried into opera tion with as little delay as possible. The various local and parochial authorities should be ready to advantages correspond at once w i t h t h e generous i ntent i ons o f Government, so of the newtbatthep üblic generally asly a ra m p a id yreap thesystems 1 possible. Let it never be forgotten that sanatory arrange ments, of whatever character they may be, must more or less, influe nce t h e mortality of the nation • . ' ........____......._ We have perused M.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. During last week, the receipts of English Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Flour, were slightly on the increase; but those of all other articles of home produce were small. From Scotland no Grain came to hand ; while from Ireland, only one small cargo of Oats was received. The imports of Foreign Wheat, Barley, Oats, an I Linseed, were seasonably good. Those of Flour large, viz., upwards of 20,000 barrels. Fresh up from Kent, an unusually large supply of English Wheat reached us by water carriage ; indeed, we may observe it was the most extensive we have had occasion to report during the last two years. From Essex, Cambridge shire, &c., the receipts were but moderate. The stands being somewhat heavily filled with samples, the country markets coming lower, and the prospect of fu ture importations somewhat improved, the demand for all descriptions of Wheat of home produce, notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was good, ruled very heavy, at a de- ' cline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from 4s. to ss. per quarter, and a large quantity remained unsold at the close of the market. Although the actual quantity of foreign Wheat on offer was by no means large, that article was a mere drug, and is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Holders, however, were by no means anxious sellers, hence the above abatement was not generally submitted to. The quantity of Barley brought forward was not to say large. Selected parcels were in moderate request at last week's prices, but all other kinds hung on hand, though they were not cheaper. With Malt we were rather scantily sup plied. The. brewers purchased with considerable caution, and, notwithstanding the actual business doing was small, the rates of this day se'nnight were mostly supported. There were comparatively few Oats on sale; nevertheless,the demand for that article was heavy, at an abatement of from Is to 2s per quarter.

During last week the imports of live stock from abroad were composed of 75 cows, and 416 sheep from Nieu Diepe, together with 6 oxen, 11 cows, and 18 sheep, from Nords dycke, nearly,the whole of which have passed into the hands of the butchers by private sale. At the outports, about 100 beasts and 300 sheep have been landed in good condition. To-day we had on offer only about 40 beasts and 90 sheep from abroad, whilst the demand for them was in a very de pressed state, and the quotations had a downward tendency. The numbers of home-fed beasts on sale this morning was seasonably good, and of full average quality. Prime Scots, Ilerefords, runts, &c., moved off steadily at full prices, but all other breeds were a very dull sale, at barely last week's quotations. From the northern counties we received 800 short-horns ; from the eastern counties 900 Scots, home breds, and short-horns; from the western and midland coun ties 900 Ilerefords, runts, Devons, &c. • and from other parts of England 750 of various breeds. The supply of sheep was lese than last week, yet the Mutton trade, owing to the heavy arrivals up to Newgate and Leadenhall Markets, was extremely inactive, at barely late currencies. In calves ex ceedingly little was doing, and prices had a downward ten dency. The pork trade was dull, but we can notice no al teration in value.

These immense receipts have had a most depressing influence upon the trade, and the quotations have receded 2d per Sibs without effecting clearances.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) • The Lord Chancellor heard appeal motions to. day, it being the last day of Hilary Term. HAINES V. TAYLOR. The Court was occupied the whole morning with the argu ments in this case, which came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion from the decision of the -Master of the Rolls re fusing to grant an injunction applied for by the plaintiff. The plaintiff, it appeared, had a house near Kensal-green, and the defendants were erecting near it works for the manufacture of illuminating gas, which were to be brought into operation in March next. The plaintiff, fearing that the works would be productive of great injury to his pro perty, filed his Bill, and applied to his Lordship the Master of the Rolls for an injunction to restrain the defendants from proceeding with their works. The Master of the Rolls re fused to grant an injunction to restrain prospective damage, and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. (The case had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press.) ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THUGWELL v. Hoopla.. This a motion for the production of certain correspondence which hdd passed between a joint solicitor and trustee. It appeared that a solicitor, Mr. Goldney, was acting profes sionally for a gentleman named Trey - me, between whose daughter and the detendant in the above cause a marriage took place in 1841, and Mr. Goldney agreed to act as trustee for Mr. Hooper and his wife. A dispute having arisen, in reference to a settlement between the parties, Mr. Goldney discontinued to act, and a correspondence took place between him and MP. Hooper, for which, as well as for let ters which had passed prior to the marriage of 1841, the present motion was made. These letters were supposed to have reference to the above suit, in which a cross bill has been filed. Mr. Kindersley and another Learned Gentleman ap peared for the motion, and Mr. Turner and Mr. Hardy ap peared for Mr. Goldney. His LORDSHIP considered that Mr. Goldney could not divest himself of the trusteeship, and under the circum stances that it could not be maii.taine l that he was acting merely as solicitor to Mr. Hooper, and that he was not en titled to the protection of the Court, therefore that the letters in question should be produced. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Beforebeing the the last d ay VICE-CHANCELLORof Hilary term, t o e f r mE,N hisGLA p i no Honour the .O This Vice-Chancellor of England took motions t o-da y. THE lIII NGERFORD MARKET COMPANY V. THE CHARING-CROSS BRID GE COMPANY. The arguments in this part-heard motion were resumed to-day. Our readers will recollect that the case came before the Court last week upon a motion on behalf of the Hunger ford Market Company, for an injunction to restrain the de fendants, the Charing-cross Bridge Company, from hindering passengers to the steam-boats from crossing their bridge to the float erected by the plaintiffs, on the south side of the bridge, for the purpose of the embarkation and disembarka tion of passengers from steam. boats. On the last day the case was on, Mr. Bethell was heard on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Hungerford Company, when the case was ordered to stand over till to-day. Mr. GIFFARD was proceeding to address the Court on the same side this morning, when The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked whether the question must not be tried at law? Mr. GIFFARD said that he should submit at all events that his clients were entitled to the injunction. The VICE-CnAscEtnon—Does it appear from your affi- • davits, Mr. Giffard, when these tell-tales were first put up in the mode and form they now appear? Mr. GIFFARD—Yes, Sir, it does; they were 'affixed long ago, when the bridge was first opened to the public, in May, 1845, but the float was not erected till lately, mid therefore we could not take proceedings. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to address the Court, followino. Mr. Bethell, con , tending that a ccor di ng to the provisions of the lease, that the Market Company were entitled to have free egress and ingress from and to the flo•it across the bridge for all steam-boat passengers, and that such right having been denied by the Bridge Company, the Court was bound to grant the injunc tion asked for by the plaintiffs. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Do your clients, Mr. Rolt, admit that the rights claimed by the injunction for the plaintiffs ai e clear ? ' Mr. RoLT—Certainly not, sir. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Now it strikes me that it is not the duty of the Court to interpret leg a l rights. If there had been a long usage, that would have been prima facie evi dence of the usage, but that is not the case here. I really__ think that no injunction should be granted at present. The Hungerfvrd Market Company may be at liberty to bring such action as they may deem advisable, either upon the co venant or otherwise, as they may be advised, and then I shall have the whole case establised at law. Mr. GIFFARD —I am afraid there will be much difficulty in trying an action, a short case would in my opinion be far better. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—The difficulty would be to settle a case. It appears to me, as the parties are proceeding by way of covenant in the deed, an action would settle it. Mr. RoLT—Then, Sir, the case stands over, and the plain tiffs are to be at liberty to bring such action as they may be. advised, with liberty to either party to apply? The VICE-CHANCELLOR—In the usual way. PENSON V. PENSON. This case stood on the paper to-day for Mr. Bethelr 0 reply, in case the parties could not come to some arrangement. Our readers will recollect that the case came before the court in the course of last week, and occupied one or two days in argument upon a motion for an account, and for the appointment of a receiver of thekrofits of a busi ness of architects and surveyors, carried on by the parties, who were father and son, at Oswestry, in Shropshire. The facts appeared to be as follows :—ln the year 1844 the father, in:consideration of a projected marriage between his son and the daughter of a gentleman in the same county, agreed to take his son into partnership, and with this view a deed was drawn - up by which the term was fixed for ten years, and the eon was to receive one-third of- the profits. It was stipulated also, that the son should be diligent in his attendance. In June of the same year the marriage took place, upon which occasion the young lady 'n father settled a sum of 10,000/. upon her, and handed to the husband a cheque for 500/. as payment of a legacy to which the wife was entitled. The check was subse quently handed back to the brother-in-law by the husband. The newly-married couple then proceeded, with the sanction of the elder Penson, to Paris, but it was stipulated by the father that the son should be back in time for the Derbyshire sessions. lie was, however, as it happened, one day behind the time, and this it was contended by the plaintiff, added to his having given the cheque for 5001. into the custody of his brother-in-law, a circumstance which was aggravated by his having had occasion to apply to his father for money to bring him home, was the cause of the prejudice against him. The rest of the case consisted of cross charges of negligence and disrespect preferred by the father against the son, and of injustice and harshness preferred by the son against the father, the result of which was the father declaring the partnership dissolved, and the institution by the son of the present suit. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, when the case was brought before the Court, observed that he was the last person to force a compromise upon individuals who were unwilling to assent to it, but his opinion was, that if ever t here was a case in which a compromise was advisable, it was the present. should not, however, shrink from deciding the question, if he was called upon to do so. Upon this intimation, the case was ordered to stand over till to-day, and this morning, at the suggestion of Mr. Stuart, in the absence of Mr. Bethell, who was engaged in the Lord Chancellor's Court, the matter was further Vet' poned to Thursday. It is generally understood that his Honour will sit Lincoln's Inn to-morrow. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) This was the last day of the term. The greater part of the morning was occupied with applications to enlarge rules , to the next term, and with short cases of minor intere+ The Court will sit at nisi prius to-morrow, and in banco in the Bail Court. The Court intimated that during th e sittings after term they would take the new trial paper i n the ordinary course, and would not make any exception 1 13 favour of country cases. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY-I The fourth session of the present mayoralty commence d this morning before the Lord Mayor, the lecorder, Chapman Marshall, and the Sheriffs Sidney and Kennard. The Grand Jury having been selected and sworn, The RECORDER said that in the Calendar they would see 168 names of persons, against whom indictments will be pre . ferred, and that number was likely to be greatly increased , before their labours would come to a conclusion. There WO no case in which a legal difficulty was likely to arise. In the list would be found one case in which there was a charge for the commission of an abominable offence, upon the testirnoul of one witness. They would have to see whether there its! any doubt of the testimony of th a t w it ness , and not, it would then, however painful it might be, be their duty to find a true bill. There were, 1115° in the list several cases of cutting and woundille with intent to do grievous bodily harm, the chief of whi c _!: arose out of an attempt to rescue a p e r son w h o wa s charged with felony, and who had, in fact, been afterwards convicte d in that Court of the offence. The police were engaged fi taking this person into custody, wh en severa l persons attacked them with brickbats and st oner , through which means &tau . had ensued; and he sho u ld ob serve , th a t as thi s charge in volved a much higher felony than that of attempting a rescue; they would have to see whether the evidence was calcu lated to sustain the higher charge, or if not, whether it was sufficient to justify the second, or lower charge, and ma k t their return accordingly. There was another charge manslaughter, which was fo un d e d u p on th e verdict of coroner's jury, and he had found the d e p os itions which P a .". been furnished to him of so extraordinary a nature, tha t 4 should depart from his usual co urse , a n d make a ... ,7 e d remarks upon it. By this verdi c t a person naLf.,,t Lovell was charged with the offence, in the that instance, and Martha Betts in the second. It apPeared a person named Hobbs was labouring under a cutaneous Uf,,, order called Scala tettera, and that the persons charged !Tf_'; in attendance upon her, and under direction had_plac.etni , diet. in a warm bath, shortly afterwards she died.

The re were severa l cases of f ra uu in the list, but with the exception of two none calling fo r any particular remark. The first was a case where a polic e. man, after being discharged from the force, called at one of the offices and demanded his expenses on a journey to Chelten ham. That was a case fit to be sent for full inquiry, for nothing was more likely to lead to great public inconY,„ . ew: ence than the allowance of su c h i m p os iti ons as this. or other case was of minor importance, and merely involved point of law on which they wou ld h ave every assis tance fron t the Court. The other cases , th oug h numerous , were, he Wsr happy to say, lighter in the character of the offences thfo! usual. He would now dismiss them to their duties with the assurance that if any difficulty occurred they might alw a y s A apply to the Court fur aid and it wou ld b e rea dily rendered . The grand jury then retired from the Court. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) .nied Two men named Bethel! and Newcome, and a soldier /37"..

Mr. HALL said he would fine Bethell and Newcome 2° , 1 5 . each for the assault on Moore, and detain them until it vr paid, under the provisions of the Market Oct. The chill! against Campbell was not of so serious a nature, as he not strike any one ; and he would, therefore, only fine i,;,13 55., or commit him for nine days. The fines were paid. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DA- 1 ) Bridget Maguire, a young Irishwoman, was brought Of before Mr. Bingham, charged with b rea king 22 panes n glasQ, to the value of 10/. 15 5 . , un d er t h e f o ll ow i n g cireti".„i. stances : It may be in the recollection of the public, that sick, months ago a young woman was brought before Mr. Hard at this court, charged with breaking the windows of n : apartment adjoining the court, and she then told so artl ess her tale of distress, which she a ll ege d t o b e th e c ause 0 , breaking the glass, that the Magistrate was interested Wir e the young woman's story, and caused inquiries to be 113 ,1", into her case.
