MORE SPLENDID THAN EVER ! The earnest and unceasing endeavours which have been made during the winter, to increase still further the magnificence of this unparalleled Spectacle have been crowned with the most complete success, as was fully demonstrated on Thursday Evening (the first Public Exhibition), by the unanimous and enthusiastic delight with which each portion of the gorgeous display wee hailed as it proceeded by the thousands assembled en that eccasion. In compliance with the expressed wishes ,Ar great numbers of the visitors, it will be repeated on Mon ,:ay and Thursday, May 11th and 14th, commencing shortly before dusk. The Panoramic Model, Al Fresco, of Mount Heela, entirely reproduced by Mr. Danson, the original Artist, is exhibiting daily from ten till dusk, with the Menagerie, which is now in the finest order, and has lately received many important additions. Feeding Hour, 5 o'clock. Admission One Shilling. moved that the House do adjourn. Another debate ensued, and it was at length decided against the ad journment by 189 to 123. On the question being again put another debate was got up, and three more divisions were had on questions of adjournment. It was thus made evi dent that the op;positio❑ to Lord DARLINGTON'S motion would be carried into effect by dividing re peatedly on motions of adjournment, and the par ties at length accepted a compromise. The motion for the issue of the writ was postponed till Thurs day, on condition that no public business be tran sacted till that day. It was necessary, therefore, to bribe the Tries into courtesy by sacrificing the public business. _ _ _ Nothing further was done, and at Ten o'Clock the House adjourned. The begging friars were, ar:d are still, one of the scandals of the Church of Rome. They go about with sacks, shamming poverty and imploring alms. They penetrate into every house, particularly the houses of the poor. They appeal to the tender ness and fears of the women, and coax from them whatever they can spare. They return home with their bags filled, and enjoy themselves. There is no art of wheedling or terrifying which they fail to use, in order to attain their ends. They gather by such means, or have gathered, immense wealth, and have built splendid churches, cathedrals, and monasteries. Protestant writers consider these begging monks a pest to the society in which they are found, and a disgrace to the religion they profess. Is this race of begging friars extinct here in Protestant England ? 'There are certainly none who go about bare-footed, and who carry a sack to gather bread and meat, but we have priests who equal them in begging. Take, for example, the Bishop of LONDON. The Times yesterday pub lished a letter of that Right Rev. Prelate, in which he implored subscriptions for a colonial episcopacy with all the zeal of a Capuchin. The object of the letter is to obtain funds to saddle the colonies with Bishops, and the begging is carried on after the following fashion. First, the Government is admonished, as the begging friar would be sure to admonish a woman, that " it is a sacred duty in cumbent upon the Government of a Christian State to make due provision for the mainte r nance and extension of Christianity." Sacred duty : What Government can resist such an ad juration to fill the beggar's wallet ? Then, if the Government will not give, " all the community," it is said, " are bound to take the work in hand," and give. " Every member of our Church, whom Pro vidence has blessed with the means," is admo nished that a great responsibility rests on him should he not give towards endowing sees for the colonies. In what these appeals, supplications, and threats differ from the arts and tricks of the begging friars, we cannot discern, except that they are made through the Press, while the friars make their begging applications in person. The difference, however, is only of one stage ; for as soon as the beg ging scheme is fairly launched, collectors will be appointed, who will go round from door to door begging pounds from the rich, crowns or half ci owns from the middle classes, and pennies and even half-pennies from the poor. The worthy Bishop has a merchant's or a usurer's eye to the future. Though what he may now collect will not give each colonial Bishop revenues equal to those of the sees of London or Canterbury, the Bishop of LONDON means that such shall hereafter be the case. "It is probable," he says, "that in the course of time, the improved value of the land, purchased as an endowment in the first instance, swill add to their (the Bishops') means of doing good." How softly phrased ! What good does the Bishop of LONDON, or the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, or the Bishop of WINCIIESTER,do with their princely revenues aris ing cut of the improved value of the land ? How does the improved value come ? Why, by the labours of man ; and this careful Bishop, who en joys a royal revenue from the improved value of land in the City of London, is laying plans for fu ture Bishops to reap where neither they nor their predecessors have sowed. How virtuous! And all this forethought-appropriation of other men's la bour and property is to enable the Bishops to do good. The children of MAMMON are wise in CROWN AND ANCHOR TAVERN, STRAND.

In the House of Peers last night a considerable number of petitions was presented. The Bishop of EXETER, unfortunate man, who has got him self into a scrape, and wants to eat his way out of it, took the opportunity of presenting a petition to explain that he had been misreported in some papers to have said that there was no Church in Scotland ; what he did say was that the Scotch Church was a Clturch in Scotland, according to Act of Parliament, but was not a Church, and the clergy, as the Earl of HADDINGTON stated for the Bishop, and the Bishop acquiesced in it, were not clergy in any other part of the empire. We cannot think that this explanation makes the matter any better for the Bishop. He, asserts that the Scotch Church and clergy arc only a Church and clergy in Scotland, because Acts of Parliament there recognise them, while he implies that the Church and clergy of. England are a clergy and Church every where whether reco gn i ze d b y A ct o f Parliament or not. The Right Rev. Prelate is resolved to insult the Ki4k of Scotland. their generation. Now let us look at the difference between the begging clergy wad other classes. When a mer chant desires to make money, he cysts about to see where, from the state of prices, goods are wanted. Having found that out, he buys them where they are cheap, and sells them where they are dear. He has agents all over the world, he searches all markets, and never expects to make a farthing but by finding persons who want what he has got to sell, and who are willing freely to give him the price he asks. So it is with every other tradesman. The manufacturer tasks "his ingenuity to produce some article of general convenience a t a cheap rate, and he never exp Lets to make a shilling but by ministering to the wants of the public. The newspapar proprietor act son the same principle. In short, there is not a. single busy layman, desirous, like the priests, to make money, who looks to any other source than to win it in exchange for some article of value which he is able to supply. The priesthood have no such articles, and act on no such principles. They pretene, indeed, to be th e monopo li sts o f the universal message which Heaven has sent to man. They The Tithe Commutation Bill was read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Bill for improving the administration of justifx. It is so long since the Bill was read a first time, that the public must have forgot ten by this time that it is intended to trans fer the Equity practice of the Court of Ex chequer to the Court of Chancery, and appoint more Judges to this Court. Lord LYNDHURST seconded the motion, but made some objection to the details of the B:11. In Commit/Jae he would submit to their Lordships whether the Equity of the Court of Exchequer should be abolished. He also disapproves of aking' thre MASTER of the ROLLS from his. Court to preside over the Privy Council. The Noble Lord is for appointing additiona Judges. Th e other pans of the Bill he considers subsidiary" ; and wilt go into the Committee un fettered as to all of them. Afteea few observations from Lcrds ABINGER, WYNFORD, and LA.NGDA LE, approving generally of the principles of the Bill, it was read a second time, art] feir Lordships adjourned. make money by doling out part of the message to the people. " Our Church is not," says the Bishop, " seen in her full and fair proportions by the strangers a►nongst whom she dwells." " The defects of those ordinances which can be received only at the hands of the highest o►der o.f the ministry, the absence of due regulations for the exercise of spiritual authority," &c. Only Pialmops,therefore, can supply some parts of the Divine message ; and man can only get the full measure of GOD'S bless ings by paying an episcopal salary foe it. So the priests coin the message of salvation into curren, pelf for their own use. Though the priests have nothing to offer in ex change, they continually clutch wealth, and can only get it by begging or extortion. They grasp after power, which they only reach by degrading and terrifying the people. Their aim is, as Mr. 11'I`NEILE has informed the world, to obtain do minion by employing supernatural to rror. They are like no other class or race of men, and if the pursuits of all other men offering their wares for sale, or their services for hire, be noxious, those of the priests may be praiseworthy. Not otherwise. In the Commons the Eastern Counties Railway Amendment Bill was throw„ out on the second reading by 195 to 58. In reply to Sir R. PEEL the ATTORNEY-GE- N=IAL said that he should recommend a Bill to be introduced to settle the question concerning stock in trade being rated to the Poor, and to en act that no stock in trade be rated. It is the boast of the Tories that:. they neve On the Earl of DARLINGTON being called on by , court popularity. They despise it. They bring they Speaker, Mr. E. J. STANLEY requested the Noble Earl to postpone his motion for issuing a forward Registration Bills or promote .some petty writ for Ludlow till Thursday.

On this question tl i t selves They contemn, they scorn mankind, and he , ld them- House divided, and it was lost by 226 to 21.. equally above their approbation find their On the question being again put, Mr. WA KLEY : censure, crave Tories. It must be admitted that In the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday last, we find the following remarks on the claims of Sir AUGUSTUS D'EsTE, and on the part which The Sun has taken in regard to that interesting question : We have inserted elsewhere a petition to the House of Commons, against the humbug Regis tration Bilt of Lord STANLEY, from the Council of the borough of Richmond, in the county of York. The petitioners very justly state that this Bill, while it professes to amend the laws relating to the registration of voters in Ireland, will diminish to a great extent the number of voters. There is not the least doubt that it would do so. That is the very purpose which it is intended by its framer to answer. Lord STANLEY has observed ho - .v well a complicated system of registration has worked in England in that way, and he is anxious that the Irish people should have the full benefit of every abuse that exists on this side the Channel. Ht would not only willingly concede to them an equa lity of privileges of this kind, but a great sur plusage ; witness this very Bill, which far exceeds the English Reform Act in the complexity of the registration process. " We gave in our last two articles,—one from the Argus, the other from the Britnnia—in reference to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and the children of his first marriage. Subjoined, we give an article, to which we attach great importance, corning, as it does, from a most influential and ably-conducted Whig journal, one possessing the highest circulation of any evening paper in London, advocating that line of politics—we mean The Sun. There are few occurrences, God knows, in these days, that make one connected with the public press—conducted as it is—proud of his association or connexion with that engine. The present occasion forms a gratifying and an honourable exception ; for, when we find a journalist sepa rating himself from his party in the assertion of truth and justice, we cannot but regard the man, while we are constrained to respect the motive. In such a position stands the able and the honest Editor of the The Sun, and he has reflected credit upon himself and the paper over which he presides—for that he has, regardless of all asso ciations and consequences, bad the moral courage to ad vocate the cause of the injured and. oppressed, in the per sons of Augustus of Este and his sister. . It is a gratifying, it is delightful thing to find that, in the dreary waste of politic#, over which we editors are doomed to traverse, we may sometimes light upon g spot. where, like the smoking grounds of the North American Indians, all d:Erenccs are forgotten, and all bitterness is eschewed--no matter what may have been the occasion, or how long may have been the continuance of farmer feud. Upon such a spot The Sun and the irfail now find themselves placed in harmony and peace labouring in the same cAuse, that of truth—ad vocating the same measure, that of justice. " The 'case' of the children of the Duke's first mar riage,—which it was our good fortune and privilege to bring fully and fairly before the public for the first time— has, we know, produced an immense sensation in England —not only amongst the nobility, who are more immediately concerned in all questions relating to the status and posi. tion of every member of the Royal family, but amongst the middle and lower orders of society, who are constitu tionally haters of tyranny, and by habit lovers of fair play. Indeed we should say that the time was come for Sir Au gustus of Estc to reassume his distinctions and honours as a Prince of the Blood Royal." However complimentary to The Sun these re marks tray be, we beg to assure our Contemporary that it has done us no more than justice in the construction which it has put upon our motives. We have pursued our own course on this question, as we do on all others ; and, although it has cost us some pain to bring before the public circumstances which cost a shade upon an illustrious personage who has been honourably distinguished for his advocacy of liberal principles, and may cost us still more to pro ceed with the disclosures necessary to complete the case which we are pledged to the public to put it in possession cf, we have not shrunk, and we shall not shrink, from the " assertion of truth and justice." Other journals may be silent on this topic if they please. They may allow party spirit to influence their conduct on a question of moral justice, and which, in its real merits, has no connection what ever with party ; but the support which any cause can derive from a suppression of the truth, even could that be accomplished, is, in our judgment, of a very questionable nature. Li this case, however, such a suppression is impracticable. It is impos sible to prevent the public from learning t he truth, and equally impossibl e to prevent t h em from justly appreciating it. In spite of all the caution which certain party journals have usecf—in spite of all the reluctance which they have exhi bited to make their readers acquainted with the claims of Sir AUGUSTUS D'EsTE, and his sister, and with the treatment -they have received, those claims and that treatment are known and talked of from one end of the kingdom to the other. We may add—let those whom it concerns lay it to heart—that there is but one opinion upon. the sub- REPRESENTATION OF PERTH COUNTY. — ft has been jest.

FRENCH AFRICA. ALGIERS, MAY 2.—" The Marshal, whose departure I mentioned in my last letter, hardly stopped at Bouffirich to pay his respects to the Prince; and proceeded on his march to Blidah. It appears that there is a coo:nesz botween them, since their conversation on the expeditio, of Dell)s. " On arriving at Blidah, the Marshal addresse'.! a pro clamation to the troops, which clearly proves that it is not his intention to stop at Medeah and Miliana, but to follow the course of the Chelif, and that the expedition will act chiefly on the province of Oran. " 'the Marshal has made — a - new organization of his - Ermy ; he has formed three columns, that of the right com manded by Colonel de Lamoriciere, that of he left corn m,nded by the Prince R..)yal, and that of the centre commanded by the Marshfl. ,‘ The army set out on the 27th. Colonel Lamoriciere, with his brigade, canpoied of the Zowavcs, of two c7.rn panics of sharp-shooters, and of the 17th regiment of Light Infantry, left Coleah, and proceeded along the hills o! Sabel to the wood of the Hadjoutes, which it crossed, and destroyei all the establishments of the fildjoutes. The Duke of Orleans, with his divisic.n, composed of four companies of sharp-ahooters, the 21 Light lofantry, the 24th of the Line, and 4th Squad7on of Cavalry. marched from Blidah along the foot of Mount Atlas to the Tomb of the Christian woman. " The Marshal also left Blidah with the remainder of the troops, (25th, 48th, 58th of the Line, 3d Light In. fantry and Cavalry), and proceeded through the middle of the plain to the Tornb above-mentioned. The three Co lumns amount to about 20,000 men, of whom 18,000 are fighting men. 3 000 or 4,000 of AA-el- Kader's horsemen appear on the plain, to prevent them passing the road to liana. The division of the left and the centre made a vigorous attack on them, and in spite of their resistance obliged them to fly beyond the mountains, which were occupied by our troops as well as the enemy's camp, The Arab, had W/0 men killed and 150 wounded. Among the former ars General Rumigny, orderly officer, al.d Mr. Rassloff, a young officer who served as a volunteer; he was known to the Prince, and was killed before his eyes. " Amorg the second is the Lieut.-Colonel of the 2d African Chabseurs; Mr. Miltgen, commanding 'the 2d Regiment, received a ball in the right shoulder—it i hoped the wound will not prove mortal.

When the Tories say they act in obedience to some great rule of right or to satisfy their own con science, what do they mean ? Is that rule any thing but a crotchet of their own ? Are their con sciences anything but a respect for the teaching of other men, and very often ignorant and in terested men ? Take Lord ` STANLEY'S Re gistration Bill as the example. What does he propose by that, other than to carry out his own crotchet, that his own shortcoming and unjust Reform Act for Ireland should not be set aside ? Or, take Sir R. PEEL'S support of the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill : what does he propose to himself farther than the grati fication of his ovtn purpose of carrying religious instruction, by the priests of the Church of Eng land, as far as possible ? Lord STANLEY and Sir ROBERT PEEL both say these are righteous objects. They mean only that they are in con formity with the teaching of ►heir instructors at college, or their parents at home, or with their own personal experience. Why, then, their preference of what they call principle to popularity comes to this : they prefer their own experience, or the ex perience of their friends and teachers, to the wishes of the multitude ; they are in love with them selves, or their souls are still swayed by the tenets of their masters ; they despise living men, and worship some one or two dead men. This may be right—we say nothing against it—but we say it is absurd in the Tories to despise popukrity as a merit, and obey precedent and follow rule, for it turns out, when the analysis is completed, that both are alike a deference to the opinions of other men. The only difference is, that the popularity is a deference to living, the respect for principle probably political principle —a deference for dead men. Alan is still their idol, though for their purpose they pretend to despise a large portion of the human family. We said on Wednesday- that the most horrible thing of all, in relation to the murder of Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, would bz.. that the assassin should remain undetected. The examination at Bow-street yesterday has convinced us that there is something still more horrid,—to bring home the guilt to a domestic. It will be impossible, after such a circumstance, for master and servant, wherever suspicion is the inmate of a bosom, to live together without dread. 'Wealthy people are naturally timid, and prone to apprehension. They have much to lose, and many persons are anxious to got what they possess. One example of a do mestic—that much-trusted class—imbruing his hands in their blood for the sake of property, will make every domestic an object of suspicion, and render the lives of the rich miserable. If they have not before learnt, they will now learn, that wealth may be a source of great anxiety. If there be any who doubt this, it iertet be these who hold that the more solemn the sanctions by which a contract is ratified the less binding is it on the contracting parties. How far this duty has hitherto been funled, or how far it has been neglected, it is not our present purpose to inquire. A more fitting opportunity will occur for adjusting that question when we come to review serirrtinz the different proceedings which have marked the progress of this extraordinary case. As to the course which it is incumbent on her Majesty's Mi. nisters to pursue in this affair, what can be more clearly defined ? Why is Lady CECILIA UN.. DERWOOD raised to the rank of a Duchess? The answer—the only answer to this question is, " be cause she is the wife of the Duke of SUSSEX." Do we dispute the fact ? GOD forbid. To suppose that she is not so —to suppese that Ministers have advised the QUEEN to bestow the highest dignity in the gift of the Sovereign, or any dignity at all . , on a lady on whose claim to the title of a lawful wife there rests the smallest doubt, would be to suppose that they have lost all regard both for their own character and for the honour of the Crown. Admitting, then , that the present marriage of his Royal Highness is legal, is it more so than his former one ? is the Duchess of INVERNESS his wife by a stronger tie, legal or religious, than Lady AUGUSTA MUR RAY was ? This will of course not be asserted. But the effect of this Royal recognition of the one marriage, while the other—to say the least, an equally valid one—is left unrecognised, is to pro nounce from the Throne a sentence of bastardy against Sir AUGUSTUS D'EsTE and his sister. Thus the Sovereign is made to appear in the light of a party to an act repugnant to justice and. to the moral feelings of the country. And in what a light does it make tire Duke of SUSSEX appear? If her Majesty's Ministers have really that regard for his Royal Highness which they profess to have, they must be anxious to rescue him from the position in which their proceedings have placed him with respect to the public ; for that public never will believe that, if he possessed influence enough with the Go vernment to procure the recognition of ►it: second • marriage, the same influence, had it been used, would not have procured the recognition of the first in the only way in which that can now be done— by the advancement of his children to that rank . and station to which their birth entitles them, and from which they have been so long and so cruelly excluded. QUEEN's BENCI-I.—(THIS DAY.) CHURCH-RATES.--THE QUEEN V. JOHN THOROGOOD, In this"case a rule ha. been nty.linA to show cause why the writ De contumacip cßpiendo should not be set aside, and why the defendant should not be discharged out of custody. Sir - W. Fe LLETT now appeared to show cause against the rule. Tne affidavit upon which the rule had been granted set out the proceedings of the citation, the signi ficavi', and the writ of warrant under which Thorogood was then in custody for contempt. Sir F. POLLOCK said he might as well here state his objections to the writ. The Bishop of London had a Vicar-General and official principal, generally through out the diocese. He had also a Commissary for par ticular parts of it. Now it, appeared from the ex planation of the office of Commissary in Burn's Ec clesiastical Law, that in the part of the diocese in which CAdinsford is situated, the office of Commissary is totally different from that of Vicar-General of the diocesc at large. He believed there %yrs no doubt about that. The objection was that the citation should have been before the G:rnmis.sary, and not before the Vicar-General ; and although the two (Bees happened to be held by the sanir person, the jurisdiction of the Courts was totally different. The next objection was that the present v‘as a. case for the recovery of church-rates under 101., and tha.t the jurisdic tion of the Court was not sufficiently shown,, but was quite consistent with what was stated on the fe ce of the signifl eavit, that the Court had no jurisdiction at all. It wet also objected that the form of the statut_e was not observed in the Court, and that the citation had not been set out. Lastly, it was urged that there was no suffic.ent addition within the words of the statute of the sth Elizabeth chap. 23 sec. 13, which provided that all and every such pains and forfeitures, wanting sufficient addition, should be utterly void in law. .t*:lr W 11.1,14111 FOLI ETT then proceeded to show cause pgainsc the Rule. An application had been made fur a writ of Habe:4s Corpus to Mr. Baron,Parkey, and three grounds of objection were urged-Ist, that the citation had not been issued by proper authority ; 2d, that the sig nificavit contained words which were not in the scheduk ,,f the Act of Parliament; and, lastly. that the return Wa' insufficient. Now, with respyct to the two first objection=, the Leal fled Baron decided that they were of no avail, and he took time to consider the third ; which, after emu suiting one of :Lir Lordships then on the bench, he de cided also against the a ppli cat i on . A n app li cation then made t o set aside the writ, and have the defendant charged out of custody ; and one of the grounds urged was , at the Ecelesiastic,,i Court had no juridiet.ion. Now he contended that the Ecclesiastical Court had general jur istiie:joa and authority io all ewes of church rates whether the sum was above or under 101, Lord DENMAN—Dues it appear that the sum in this case was under 101. ? Sir \Vat, FOLLETT—No, my Lord; it does not appear eit.iier upon the atlioavit or otherwise teat the sum was un der 101. Lord DCNMAN_It appears to me to be a diffiCult argu ment to maintain, because the Court had a general authority in all cases, and it lies upon you, Sir Frederick, to show how this case is to be taken out of that jurisdiction.. Sir F. Pot.i.ncx—There is another objection which I omitted to mention. By the Statute it is required th.l the significavit should have been is-sued within 10 days after judgment had been pronounced. Sir W. FOLLETT had heard nothing previously of that objection, Lurd DENMAN-13 this person in custody? Sir F. POLLOC K _Y es , my L ord. Lord DENMAN-Because, if it was not a matter of press ing necessity, Sir W. Follett might wish for more time. Sir \V. FOLLETT said objections had now been raised which had not been stated at the time the rule was moved for. Sir F. PoLLooK had stated what occurred to him at the time, and he was not quite certain whether he had men tioned the last point to the Caurt. Their Lordships, how ever, were aware that in any case where the liberty of the 6ubject was concerned, even if it tuned out at the last moment, and could be shown that the party was entitled to his liberty, their Lordships were bound not to turn s deaf ear to the application. (The case was proceeding when we went to Press.) COMMON PLEA S.-(THIS DAY SMITH V. MAYDON. This was an action to recover the amount of a bill of ex change, brought by the indorsee against the acceptor. I was tri,.d at the Session House last week, before Mr. Jus tice The v,rdict was for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergean: Bosieas now moved for a rule to show r.ause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. He moved on the ground of insufficiency of evidence. The witness who was called to prove the hand writing had only seen the defendant write cnce, and that upside down, he being on the opposite side of the table. There were other witnesses for the defendant, who stated positively that the signature was not his, The bill pur ported to have been accepted in 7, Wilson-street, in 1837. Now the defendant proved that this was not his place of business. On this the Learned Judge, with great inge ouity, said that the defendant had not shown that he had ,ver seen the bill before, and that therefore, as the fact of the acceptance at 7, Wilson -street, had not been affirmed in the declaration, that the defendant could only have known that such was the place given in the bill, by having accepted it. The Learned Sergeant said, Learned Judge had gone so far as to state that .‘ without doubt" the defendant could never have seen the bill before, unless he had accepted it, which even Counsel would not have been so bold as to state. The Lead CHIEF JUSTICE —I won't answer for that. —(A laugh.) Mr. S7rgeant Bostras—At all events, it was strange that the bill should have lain by for two years and a half. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—Your theory would sup pose that you had seen the bill before, and taken a note of its acceptance. Mr. Sergeantßomeas—Y e s, and ther e was an affidavit that the bill had been before presented to, and refused be, 'he defendant's attorney, who had of course then had an opportunity of observing it. :The Learned Sergeant added that his client had bean prevented from swearing that he had not accepted the bill only by his absence from town, and that being necessary for obtaining the rule it could only be asked conditionally till that question was .iupplied.—Rule granted. SEDUCTION.--TURPLY V.7PACKE, This was an action for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, whose family resided in Northamptonshire. Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN applied on the part of the de fen,iant for a rule to change the venue from Middlesex to Northamptonshire, on the ground that certain most vi rulent articles had aispeared upon the case in the metropo litan newspapers, calculated greatly to prejudice him in the minds of all his acquaintances, and he was anxious to disprove the charges against him in Northamptonshire where all his witnesses resided. The Learned Sergeant cited a case in which Lord Tenterden had in a similar instance held the venue should be changed, because all the wit nesses lived at a distance ; great expense would he incurred in bringing there up, and there was no counterbalancing convenience. Lord Ellenborough also heH that great convenience and substantial justics of the case should be consulted. The Loan CIITEF JusTtcp, said he thought that the virulent articles • having appared in Middlesex papers, and they, having been read in Northamptonshire, where he was known, should he not find it his interest to be re moved out of that tainted atmosphere ? Mr. Sergeant GOuLnuatv thought the prima facie case was with the defendant, and that the plaintiffshould be called on to disprove it.—Rule refused. EXCHEQUER COURT-T HISjDAY SANDERSON V. WESTLEE AND ANOTHER. Mr. PLATT Pppeared to show cause against a Rule ob tained by Mr. Thesiger, to set aside a warrant of At. wrney which had been signed by Miss Walters, one of the defendants. From the affidavits upon which the rule had been obtained it appeared that the defendant, WestleY, who was brother-it-law of Miss Walters, wanted to raise a loan of 400/., which the plaintiff advanced him upon the security of the other defendant. Miss Walters became en titled to some money on coming of age, the settlements for which were drawn by Walters and Reeves. On being asked to sign a security for her brother-in-law, she wished to have the papers drawn by th©m ; he said they would not allow her to complete the transaction, and having perfect confidence in her brother-in-law, she accompanied him to the offices of Mr. Goddard, a solicitor, in Cheapside, where a paper was read over to her, but she did not under stand it, and signed it as a security for her brother- in- lace, Mr. Goddard did not explain the nature of the instrument, and she snore that upon no occasion had he ever acted as her attorney, nor was env one then present on her behalf. In answer to this, he ( Mr. P.) was furnished with the affidavit of the plaintiff, from which it appeared that the 4001. had been advanced; that he proposed that Walters and Reeves should draw up the instruments, but the defen dant declined, and named Mr. Goddard, who acted as the attorney for both defendants. He had also the ,7.ffidavit of Nit-. Goddard corroborating Mr. Sanderson, and he fur ther swore that he informed her, that if the money were not paid the plaintiff wo:dd have a right to enter up judg ment against her property. . . ' Mr. - Baron PARKB—In this case there was but one attorney acting for both plaintiff and defendant. It has been held that that will not do. The defendants ought to have their oe. n attorney. Mr PLATT said it appeared from the affidavits that Goddard prepared the instruments at the request of the defendants, and was employed by them. Mr. MESMER said it also appeared that Mr. Goddard was the solicitor of the plaintiff on fotmer occasions. That for that very businus the bill of costs was made out against the plaintiff, and that when Walters and Reeves applied to Goddard for an inspection of the security signed by Miss Walters, he refused, and said he could not do so until he saw the plaintiff his client. It further ap peared from the affidavit of Mr. Westley's father, that Miss Walters was rather silly, and there had becn.no pro tection thrown around her by the attendance or presence of Mr. Goddard. The CotteT were of opinion that in this transaction Mr. Goddard must be taken to have acted as the attorney for the plaintiff, and rot for the defendants ; indeed there was no pretence that he ever was the attorney of the de. fondant Miss Walters. Wherever there was only one attorney present at such transactions, it ought to appear very clearly that he acied in no manner for the plaintiff, otherwise the protection intended to he given by the Act of Parliament would be entirely taken away. Here th e warrant of attorney was clearly bad, and must be void and of no effect. —Rule made absolute. - • TILE CYDER SEASON.— ' I he apple trees in the numerous orchards round the town of Crediton have tbrown'out their blossoms so thickly and luxuriantly, that, viewed from tile surrounding hills, they present an appearance too beautiful to be described. We hear of great complaints, how ever, by many farmers, whose orchards are less favourably situ ated, and have not yet recovered from the effect; of last year's blight._.. Western Times.

OLD COURT, Thomas Laroche, aged 2J, was indicted for assaulting upon the Queen's highway, Gaarlotte Augusta Charles, putting her in fear, and taking from her person a reticule, handkerchief, and other articles, her property. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. Miss Charles deposed that on a Thursday afternoon, in April, she was walking near St. Giles's Church, where she observed the prisoner, who " , tares" at her, and the was certain he was :he same person. When she had walked a short distance, the prisoner came up to her, and seized hold her reticule, but the string being tied round her arm, he could not get it away until it broke by the violence he used, and the prisoner then ran away with he reticule and its contents, a handkerchief, purse, a sovereign, and a shilling. ."3`,e gave information of the robbery, and the prisoner was apprehended tvo hcurs afterwards, and she immediately identified him as the same person who had robbed her. The witness wan cros -examined by Mr. PAYNE, but she persisted in her statement that he was the man. A police constable proved that he appreheAcd the pri soner from the description given by the prosecutor. He denied that he knew anything of the robbery, and sail that he was in bed at the time it was committed, in another part of the town. None of the property was found. Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury, and calied a witness, who said the prisoner had worked tor h:m for five years. The Jury found the prisoner Gu;lty ; the Foreman at the same time said that the Jury were sorry that they were compelled to return such a verdict. The COMMoN SERJEANT—Sorry ! gentlemen. It is your duty to do so, if you think he is the man who com mitted the offence. Why should you be sorry? FOREMAN—We are sorry at being compelled to place a fellow -creature in the situation he will be placed by a ver dict of guilty. CoMMON SERGEANT—YOU do not place hi m th ere . Ho has placed himself in the situation by his own mis conduct. 1 , , jury then returned their verdict in the usual form. The COMMoN SERGEANT observed that upon the evi dence then., cou!d be no doubt that this was a proper ver- Wet. It was a monstrous thing tha a lady could not . ..mil; along the streets in such a metropolis as this without being , übj , -,ct to such an outrage as the present : and it was the duty of the Court to mark their sense of it by directing him to be transported for ten years. Thomas Morris was i.,,iicted for stealing a wooden bowl, containing ss. in silver, the property of Matthew Wode, t and Robot Lacey stood indicted for aiding in the theft. It was proved that Morrie had stolen the tn)ney by ivaning over the bar of the puoiic-house, and it VOR3 at- N:smpted to be shown that he had handed it to the other prisoner. Lacey was acquitted, and Morris was found guilty, and sentenced to Seven years' transportation. Cornelbis Mine!' was indicted for stealing ss. the pro perty of John Levi. The prisoner entered the shop of Levi, while Levi was it (hurler, and took the money from the till. He was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' hard labour, Juseph Harris was indicted for attempting to pick a gentleman's pocket of a handkerchief. The prisoner, who was a young lid, and who hld been before punished for a similar offence, was found guilty, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Ranger Packet has arrived with the Jamaica mail, faded, from St. Thomas's April 1; Cape Henri, April 5. By the above packet we have received Jamaica Papers to the 31st March. (From the Morning Journal.) " We published in our last a message from his Excel. lency the Governor to the Houle of Assembly, on the sub ject of the import duty on British manufactured goods. This message is accompanied by sundry correspondence which has passed between the Secretary of State for the Colonies and the Board of Trade. From this correspond. ence we conclude that there is still a great unwillingness in the mother country to impose a duty on British manu factured goods."

According to the Jarnai , l: Dispatch of the 30th of March, great complaints are made respecting the unwil lingness of the negroes to work, and the consequent defi cieney of the crops. The following is the extract (rein a ;ever addreßsei to a Member of the Assembly from a planter in St. James's parish i-- - " The labourers in this quarter arc ten times worse than last year; and, by the way they are going on, one-half of the sugar crop will not be completed by the Ist of August, although the rate of wages is increased one-third above last year. " Without immigration on a very extensive scale, Ja maica is gone. The parish of Trelawney will not ex. ceed 5,000 hogsheads; St. JaMes, 4 000 ; Hanover, 3,000; Westmoreland, 2,000; St. Elizabeth, 1000; say 13,000 hogsheads of sugar. I have known this parish alone to make that quantity, and Trelawney much mire. Tire Island has made 120,000 hogsheads, and this year there will not b e 40 , 0 00 made, with considerably worse prospects for the next year. Ci
