IN CHANCERY-INJUNCTION MILNER V. HARRISON AN application was made on Thursday, the 25th September, before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, at Bath, on behalf of Mr. William Milner, as lositories fes. or o for the Protection of Papers or other materials from for an injunction to restrain the defendant, John German Harri son, of Liverpool, his agents, servants, &c., from making, using, putting in practice, or vending, or procuring to fie made, &c., during the remainder of the term mentioned in the Letters Patent granted to Mr. Thomas Milner ' any Boxes, safes, or other depositories made in such or the like manner, or on the same or the like •principle as the said Thomas Mil ner's Invention, or in anywise counterfeiting, imitating, •r Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shebbeare for the defendant, and affidavits in support of and in opposition to the motion were read. Milner's invention consisted in the use of substances, distribdted in an absorbent material in spaces between the outer and inner casings'of the Box, which substances, when exposed to beat, evolved steam or moisture, the combined effect of the moisture and the material, kept humid, protecting the Safes, enclosing papers, &c., from fire. The defendant sold Safes and Boxes, which he represented to be made under a Patent granted to Messrs. Tann, of Lon don. bat which the plaintiff contended were substantially made according to Milner's Invention, and were an infringe ment on his Patent. An action had been brought by the plaintiff aEainst the defendant for the infringement, and tried to June last, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell and a special jury, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, the defendant's counsel tendering a Bill of Exceptions to the direction of the learned judge on the construction of Mr. Milner's specification. Notwithstanding this verdict, the defendant Harrison had continued to sell the Boxes and Safes complained of, and the affidavits filed by the plaintiff proved the recent sale by defen dant of a Safe, which scientific witnesses stated was substan tially the same as those proved on the trial, and found to be an infringement. This was verified by Doctor Musprat , whose analysis accompanied his affidavit. The affidavit of Mr. John Tann stated that he believed this Safe had been made by him and his partners, and he alleged that it was made acyding to their specification His HONOUR stated the principle on which tVourt inter fered in cases of this kind, and observed that - ann's specifi cation appeared to contemplate only a dry on-conductor to stop the heat, whereas Milner's created urther obstruction to the fire, by producing at the period en the fire began to act on the box an effusion of steam, ich pervaded the non conducting material with moisture, nd-thereby protected the Safe and its contents. His Hon - 0 adverted to thel ong enjoy ment of the Patent which was gr ted in 1840, the resnit of the trial at law, and the clear o ion in the plaintiff's favour expressed by the Lord Chief stice, and in which his Honour concurred, stating that he nsidered Milner's was a Patent claiminr , every mode by ich the liquid. &c., might be em ployed to moisten the allkorbent material: and he concluded by granting the injunction in the terms of the motion. PRESERVAVON OF BOOKS, DEEDS, &c., FROM FIRE COURT OF QUEEN S BENCH, JUNE 23RD, 1851, BEFORE LORD CAMPBELL AND A SPECIAL JURY MILNER v. HARRISON (The latter selling Tann's Safes and Boxes, and advertising himself assole proprietor of Tann's Patent Safes, Chests, 6-e.) The above trial was instituted for the purpose of vindicating the exclusive right, on the part of the Plaintiff, of applying liquids, or materials evolving moisture on the application of heat, together with ether absorbent materials, within the chambers of Boxes, Safes, or Depositories, calculated to per vade the chambers and contents of the safes with moisture and steam, when heated by fire, thereby preserving the papers from ignition. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Webster, appeared for the Plaintiff; and Sir F. The siger, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Hindmarsh, for the Defen dant. After the case had been stated by Mr. Crowder evidence was given by Mr. Grantham, of Liverpool, Civil Engineer and Surveyor of Steamers to the Board of Trade; Mr. Samuel Woods. jun., of London, formerly of Liverpool ; Mr. J. W. Pilcher, of Liverpool ; Mr. Alderman Bennett, Ironfounder, of Liverpool; Dr. Sheridan Muspratt, Professor of Chymistry, Liverpool; Mr. John Smith, President of the Guardian Society, Liverpool ; Mr. B. Woodcroft, Professor of Machinery at the University College, London ; and by Mr. John Owens, one of the foremen of Milner's Works for the last twenty years, on the utility, originality, &c., of Milner's Safes—of which upwards of 25,000 are now in use—and also of the infringe ment of Milner's Patent by the Defendant, who was proved to have used the very materials in the Safes and Boxes he had tested and sold, which he had seen used by the Plaintiff's firm, when in their service as Shopman, from 1846 to 1849. This was followed by Sir F. Thesiger's reply for the Defendant, who called several witnesses, but whose testimony, on cross-exami nation, completely established the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Crowder finally addressed the Jury on the facts, and Lord CAMPBELL then summed up. This, he said, was an action for the infringement of a patent granted on the 26th of August, 1840, for certain alleged improvements in boxes for the protection of papers from fire. The deferdant set up several defences, which he would not take exactly in their proper order. Ist. He said that there was nn proper specifica tion of this patent. 2dly. That Milner, the patentee, was not the inventor ; also, that it was not a new invention, that it was not a useful invention; and that, at all events, the defendant had not infringed the patent. He had taken the evidence very fully, and if the jury thought it would assist them he would read it ever. The Jury intimated that they did not think it necessary. Lord CAMPBELL then said, he should shortly direct their attention to the several questions they were to determine, for they were all for their determination. With regard to the in fringement, he would repeat the direction he had before given them. Here was the specification, and although he thought this issue was hardly disputed, they must consider whether an ordinary workman, of ordinary skill, looking at it, could make one of the boxes it described. The witnesses had said that an ordinary workman, in their judgment, would be able to do so. The next issue was with regard to the novelty of the inven tion. The third and fourth were so much alike that they might be taken as part of the same question. It lay on the plaintiff to show that this was a new invention, and if he gave prima facie evidence that it was so, the defen dant would have to show that it was not. Now there was cer tainly strong evidence on the part of the plaintiff to show that it was new. It was for them to say whether it was properly an invention for the protection of papers against fire. The papers were locked in an iron box, having cases enclosed, leaving chambers between t e two cases, and the object was to have some substance that would give out a moisture upon the appli cation of the heat, and the steam thus produced was to be in closed in the box and moisten the papers so that they might be preserved from the effects of fire. There had been several wit nesses of respectability on both sides, although several of those called for the defendant had only recently turned their atten tion to this subject. Several witnesses for the plaintiff said that, although there had been an addition to the old safe which consisted merely of a single iron box, a mode having been in troduced of having an outer box, the great object was to in troduce some non-conducting substance, so that the operation of heat might be retarded as much as possible; but that there was nothing until Mr. Milner's patent to moisten the papers by the operation of steam. On the part of the defendant, he chiefly relied on Marr's and Chubb's patents, and it would be for them to say whether those patents were not confined to introducing non-conductors. The object of both was to save papers from destruction, but the mode and operation was the question in dispute. He had been puzzled to know the difference between the two natents of Marr and Chubb, and he afterwards found from one of the witnesses that there was no distinction between them. They both had non-conductors in the inner case. but neither seemed to have had the slightest contemplation of any liquid, as their object was rather to have substances as dry as possible, but had no notion of a liquid which vas to be condensed into steam to moisten the papers in the inner case. They had heard the evidence, and it would be for them to say whether they were satisfied that the invention which Mr. Milner set out in his specification was known before the date of his patent. If they thought it was, they would find tht,t issue for the defendant ; and if they thought it was not, they would find it forthe plaintiff. The third and fourth issues were substantially the same, being that Mr. Milner was not the inventor, and the invention was not new. If Mr. Milner was the inventor, the invention was new; and if lie was not the inventor, it was not new. Then came the issue of whether it was useful, and he must say lie had been astonished to find such strong evidence of its useful ness. Up to this hour he had no idea that there were any human me-ins of so effectually preserving naners from the action of fire. It appeared that, by means of the condensation of steam, the papers enclosed in the inner box were rendered moist. It was a comfort for one to know that there was an in vention, by which valuable documents might be rendered secure, notwithstanding the terrible calamity of fire breaking out in a house. Although the defendant had thought fit to say it was not useful, he was really at a loss to say what evidence there was to raise any doubt as to its utility; but the question was for them alone. Now came the direction he should give them in point of law, and in this they must be guided by what he said. He thought there might be an infringement, although the de fendant did not use vessels, pipes, or tubes for containing the liquid. All the rest he left to them ; but he only said that it was not indispensably necessary that the defendant should use pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels, but they were to consider whether the evidence was sufficient to convince them that the defendant had infringed the patent. They would bear in mind that respectable professors from King's College, and other seminaries of learning, had been called for the defendant, and they would consider whether they disproved the infringement. Tann's patent could only be evidence on the ground of infringe ment, for it was not taken out until nearly four years after Milner's; but if, as it would appear that Harrison sold Tann's boxes, he could not say that they were not to look to Tann's specification, if they came to the conclusion that the poxes made by Tann were the same as those Milner described in his specifi cation. They were to look on all the evidence on either side searing on these issues; and if they thought that, although the .s that the defendant sold did not contain any pipes, tubes, ~e ssels for containing the liquid, they contained substances from which moisture was to be ex it; if they thought they were substantially the r s, they would find that issue for the plaintiff; Ight they were not the same as Milner's, for the were at liberty to find that issue for the it did not use any pipes, tubes, might the process was substan 'n the plaintiff's specification (1 other li the deret Is.

T ANN'S PATENT FIREPROOF SAFES, ____ J. G. HARRISON and Co. beg to call the attention of the public to an advertisement which Mr. Miller has published for some time in the Liverpool papers, setting forth that the Court of Chancery had granted an injunction prohibiting the sale of safes made according to " Tann's Patent." The perseverance with which Mr. Milner still proclaims an assertion so manifestly untrue prevents further forbearance on the part of J. G. H. and Co., and compels them to repeat that his attempt to invalidate " Tann's Patent" has been. completely unsuccessful. In proof oft' J. G. " 4 C' his, ana o: would quote the following extracts from the judgment of 'his•honour, Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, given so recently as the 15th instant, in the cause. of Milner v. Harrison. His honour says, " I have very carefully perused the affidavits on this part of the case, and I am fully satisfied that no order for commitment can be founded upon it. Any comments upon these affidavits would involve obser vations calciii ated to affect the characters of the parties, and I therefore abstain from commenting on them." His honour also stated, referring to a safe made iecording to Tan n's Patent, " This safe is proved to have been manufactured according t• Tann's patent; and the question, therefore, is, whether the manufacture under ' ner's patent. This c ann'i Patent' is inestion has not been tried the action at ,aw, for it is in -proof before me that the safes which formed the subject of that action were not manufactured according to Tann's Patent,-and, therefore, if I am to make an order for commuting this defendant I must do so on my own opinion, unaided by anything which has passed at law. lam not pre pared to go that length ; it would be to affirm that Milner's patent applies in all cases where the materials interposed between the boxes evolve steam on being affected by heat, which is certainly not a necessary construction of Milner's patent, nor, as I think, a necessary corollary from what has already passed at law. The case cannot. I think, be put more favourably for the plaintiff than to suppose that the action, in this case, which was brought against the defendant had been brought against Tann, and that the action having succeeded, this bill had been tiled to restrain Tann from manufacturing according to b;- : and tr o ... .us patent , - in that position of the case I it"eower9Aspi...... uc think the courtwould not have granted an inju tioudlial after a further trial at }aw, even independen of the - rNtritifi''s conduct in having permitted Tenn a ng to continue manu facturing under his patent, and ce ainly not after such a long acquiescence by the plaintiff ; , yet, what the plaintiff asks by this motion is in effect to op Tann's trade, by committing Tann's agent." S. G. rison and Co. have only to add in conclusion, that unti' lk . Milner proves that Tann% -patent is an infringement ofhi atent, he is bound, in common honesty, not to publish sta ents which convey . most inaccurate im pressions. Mess . Tann have used their patent with success for upwards of ' years, without a word ofcomplaint from Mr. Milner or any her party ; and, up to the present moment, all the proceedi s taken by Mr. Milner have failed to invalidate U " Tann's Patent." 14, Lord street, Liverpool, Jan. 29, 1852.

The following testimonial is another proof [of the great efficacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, Oet. 12th, 1850. "Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have experienced by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly afflicted. About twenty years since I was first attacked by Rheumatic Gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every variety of cli mate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always procured the best medical aid, but without obtaining any es sential relief, and my suff.-' _ .-uuerings can be appreciated only by those who know something of this disease. It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thirtee n y ears az°. !commene procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain bad entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. From that moment whenever I feel any symptom of the disease approaching, I have instant recourse to this Medicine, which to me is so valuable that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the rel* I obtain to that .cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say tha y health has not in any degree suffered, but on the co ry I believe the ten dency of Blair's Pills is towards ' improvement. I have recommended the Pills to man riends. and the result has always been of the most gratif ig character.—l am, sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Prout. 229, St nd."

Ou N S TMENT! - 4 0 L L OAWMOASTYM;SRACOui CURE OF BAD LEGS, AFTER 43 YEARS' SUFFERING. Extract of a Letter from Mr. William Galpin, of 70, Saint _ _ Mary's-street, Weymouth, dated May 1851 To Profes . sor HOLLOWAY,-Sir,-At the age of 18 my wife (who is now 61) caught a violent cold, which settled in her legs, and ever since that time they have been more or less sore, and greatly inflamed. Her agonies were distracting, and for months together she was deprived entirely of rest and sleep. Every remedy that medical men advised was tried, but without effect ; her health suffered severely, and the state of her legs was terri ble. I had often read your advertisements, and advised her to try your Pills and Ointment; and, as a last resource, after every other remedy had proved useless, she conented to do so. She commenced six weeks ago, and, strange to relate, is now in good health. Her legs are painless, without seam or scar, and her sleep souna and undisturbed. Could you have witnessed the sufferings of my wife during the last 43 years, and contrast them with her present enjoyment of health, you would i n d ee d feel delighted in having been the means of so greatly alleviating the sufferings of a fellow creature.

I had recourse to a variety of medical advice ithout deriving any benefit, and was even told that the le". ust be ampuated, yet,i n opposition to that opinion, Pills and Ointment have effected a complete curei nso ort a time, that few who had not witnessed it would credit t fact.

Frederick Turner, of Penehurat, Kent, d ed December 13th, 1850. _ . To Professor HoizOwAv,—Sir,—My wife had suffered from Bad Breasts for mete than six months, and during the whole period had the best medical attendance, but all to no use. Having before healed an awful wound in my own leg by your unrivalled medicine, I determined again to use your Pills and Ointment, and therefore gave them a trial in her case, and for tunate it was I did so, for in less than a month a perfect cure was effected, and the benefit that various other branches of my family have derived from their use is really astonishing. I now strongly recommend them to all my friends. (Signed) FREDERICK TURNER. AN INFLAMMATION IN THE SIDE PERFECTLY CURED. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Francis Arnot, of Breahouse, Lothian-road, Edinbro' , dated April 29th, 1851. To Professor HOLLOWAY,-Sir,—For more than twenty years my wife has been subject, from time to time, to attacks of inflammation in the side, for which she was bled and blis tered to a great extent, still the pain could not be removed. About four years ago she saw, in the papers, the wonderful cures effected by your Pills and Ointment, an di thought she would give them the trial. To her great astonishment and delight she got immediate relief from their use, and after per severing for three weeks the pain in her side was completely cured, and she has enjoyed the best of health for the last four years. (Signed) FRANCIS ARNOT. The Pills should be used conjointly with the Ointment, in most of the following cases : Bad Legs Cancers Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Stiff Sore Nipples _ .

THE CRYSTAL PALACE Lord DERBY, in reply to Lord Campbell, said the building had answered all the purposes for which it was erected, and must now come down. DURATION OF THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT. The Earl of MINTo and the Duke of NEWCASTLE in sisted that hopes of a speedy dissolution of Parliament had been held out ' • but Lord DERBY declared that he had not said so. He had said that he expected the new Par liament would have an opportunity, in the autumn, of expressing an opinion on certain questions requiring their attention before 1853. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN LUNACY. Lord LYNDHURST, in a long speech, moved for returns relative to the administration of justice in lunacy, suggest ing several valuable amendments. FOREIGN REFUGEES, Lord BEAUMONT, in some remarks respecting foreign refugees, e!icited from the Earl of MALMESBURY that the Rev. Mr. Wingrove was arrested at Pesth in mistake. Adjourned at seven o'clock. THURSDAY, APRIL 1. - Lord LYNDHURST brought' in a bill to regulate the expenses in commissions of lunacy ; and Lord BROUGHAM presented various petitions, including two or three from Wales, praying for the extension of the county courts. FRIDAY, APRIL 2. The Mutiny Bill was read a first time, and the Marine Mutiny Bill was also read a first time. EAST INDIA CHARTER. The Earl of DERBY moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the operation of the Act 3rd and 4th of William IV., cap. 85, for the better go vernment of her Majesty's Indian territories, and to re port their observations thereon. The noble earl gave a rapid sketch of the history, and an explanation of the constitution, of the East India Company, and adverted to various points which he thought would deserve the calm and mature consideration of the committee previous to the renewal of the expiring charter. He referred with satisfaction to the spread of Christianity which had taken place in India, and to the improvements in the adminis tration of justice which had been effected in that great empire since 1833, and expressed his opinion that the native population should be more and more contented with the management of their internal affairs under the control and influence of British authority.—The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH pointed out many alterations which ought to be made in the India Board, and suggested that the patronage of the company should be diminished by Aiaf nimnintments from the board to th e Government.—The motion was then agreed to. THE ENDOWMENT OF MAI NOGTH In reply to a question from the Earl of ALBEMARLE, the Earl of DERBY said that her Majesty's Government had no present intention of proposing to Parliament any interference with the act which was passed for the endow ment of the College of Maynooth in the year 1845. But he must say that the course which has been pursued by a large body of the people, and by a large body of the Ro man Catholic clergy of Ireland, and the aggressive atti tude which that church has of late years assumed, has added materially to the difficulty of defending an endow ment which was intended for the purpose of maintaining peace and good-will, and for the purpose of binding the clergy of the Church of Rome to the State by the ties of gratitude for material assistance afforded, gratitude for good-will shown, and binding them by the ties of loyalty, contentment, and peacefulness.—(Hear, hear.)—Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY, MARCH 30 Several petitions were presented, including one by Mr Heywood, from Accrington, in favour of national educa tion ; and one by Mr. Grenfell, from the trustees of th, Grosnargh hospital, against certain clauses of the Chari table Trusts Bill. Mr. ANDERSON rose to move , it is the opinion o this house, that in order better to provide for the public safety, to economise the public resources, and to preserve peace, it is desirable that measures should be ado"' with a view to render the commercial steam ns , - available for the national defence in ca.- He observed, that in talking of a r.M = " at the wrong end, as we had COMMERCIAL STEAM NAVT " many of whic might be motion, and expressed his surprise ti been sooner adopted the motion, Mr. STAFFORD I Ipirit of which comma concurrec the Admiralty in their mail-pact I.d 52,243 tonnage of st( I co 48 vessels of .s bound to c with 12,328 . 880 in the dad .—Captain SCOB den nic ai,iets ps in the navy el tQ merclont Mr. COI-YrER sisted that France was better prepared ; but, after some remarks from Sir G. PECHELL, the motion was at length withdrawn. WINE DUTIES. Mr. ANSTEY moved for a select committee to inquire into the causes of the decline in the revenue derived from the import duties on wine.—The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the duties were in 1849 £1,732,000, and in 1852 £1,777,000. The quantity of all kinds for home consumption was in 1849 6,136,000 gal lons, and in 1852 6,280,000 gallons.—Lord PALMERSTON mentioned that certain negotiations with Portugal were pending when he left office ; and the motion was agreed to with the omission of the words " causes of decline." THE BALLOT. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY moved that vote by ballot be adopted at contested elections. He dwelt much on the present system of bribery and corruption ; be blamed the democracy as much as the aristocracy ; and replied to pre vious reasoning of Mr. Disraeli by saying that in America the ballot would not be discontinued. He read long lists of corrupt places, and was ready to agree that it should be permissive in its application, that is, provided the people themselves applied for it.—Mr. BARROW opposed the ballot as a delusion and a snare.—Sir B. HALL mentioned parochial elections, as St. Pancras and Marylebone, where so many as 19,000 persons were polled, and the ballot worked well.—Mr. W. WILLIAMS thought that open voting supported a dear government; and Mr. B. Coen- RANE thought that neither France nor America was a case in point.—Mr. COBDEN stated that 6,000,000 of French people voted in one day, without tumult ; that the cor ruption in America was not owing to the ballot, but to the absence of sufficient secresy in it; and urged that on the eve of an election there was a sort of moral argument in favour of it.—Captain SCOBELL supported the motion ; and Mr. WALPOLE chewed that the ballot would aggra vate existing evils, as there would be no means of detect ing or correcting the admitted evils. A public trust should , be exercised under the control of public opinion. —Lord D. STUART advocated the ballot as a remedy for the pre sent state of things.—On a division 144 voted for, and 246 against ;—negative majority, 102. Adjourned at 20 minutes past 12. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31. TENANT-RIGHT BILL FOR IRELAND. Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved the second reading of this bill. His object was only to realise what was already the existing custom in certain districts ; there were many petitions for the measure, but none against it; and, as a landlord, he expected the measure to benefit him.—Mr. NAPIER was opposed to the present bill, though not without hopes that a different sort of legisla tion might bring about the same, or a better result. his view was, that the machinery contemplated would inter fere with existing contracts, whilst the present laws of property were sufficient for the less complicated cases. The Government were alive to the necessity of stimulating industry in Ireland, and he sketched the outline of a bill more simple which they proposed bringing in.—Mr. ROCHE deprecated delay in the matter ; as did Lord CASTLEREAGH, who thought that all necessary changes might have been made in committee.—Mr. J. GREENE was also for speedy legislation.—Mr. V. SCULLY said, that tenant right was not confined to Ulster ; that the rejection of this measure would create great dissatisfaction ; and that, when the principle was granted, the details were comparative trifles.—Sir J. E. TENNANT thought the present bill was overlaid with novel and impracticable de tails, and moved that it be read that day six months.— Mr. KEOGH and Mr. GRATTAN spoke strongly in favour of the bill ; and were annoyed at the remarks of Sir J. E. Tennant, as practically assailing the principle of the bill. —Mr. OSBORNE thought that the bill should be read a second time, as the late Government, Sir Robert Peel, and the present Attorney-General, all approved the prin ciple of it.—Mr. WHITESIDE was surprised that Free traders objected to free trade in land itself; as the principle of the bill admitted fixity of tenure, compulsory valuation, and a sort of landlord and tenant partnership.— Mr. CONOLLY was speaking in opposition to the bill, when the house adjourned at six o'clock, crit!ln!"- c^^2lr,- tn any decision. THURSDAY, Arnir. Several private bills were advanced a s.l7e. .A; the petitions, there were several (from Stroud, Doncaster, Aberdeen, Oban, &c.) against the Maynooth Endowment. There was also a petition from Lancashire against the Militia Bill. In reply to a question respecting Westminster Bridge, Sir Robert Inglis was informed that Government did not intend to purchase it ; and Lord Robert Grosvenor, on a similar inquiry respecting Finsbury Park. was told by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the estimated sum of £400,000 induced him to pause. FOREIGN REFUGEES, Mr. MILNEs moved a resolution expressive of the re gret of the house, that a friendly power (Austria) had threatened to act with unkindness to British travellers, because England afforded an asylum to the refugees of all classes and countries. The cordial reception of Kossuth in this country bad irritated the Austrian minister, though it was the British People, and not the Government, who had made it so. He thought the Earl of Malmesbury, in the correspondence, did not take a sufficiently high tone, or one that would be quite pleasing to the country. — Lord D. STUART, in seconding the motion, reflected on our own Government, because it appeared to be looked kindly on at Vienna.—Mr. WALPOLE defended the conci liatory course which had been adopted, and thought that matters were in a fair way for final adjustment.—Mr. AtisTnir supported the motion; and Lord PALMERSTON, partly in correction of Mr. Walpole, shewed the great anxiety which Government had always evinced to give thorough protection to British subjects.—Mr. VERNON SMITH thought that the recent correspondence had made matters worse.—Mr. COCHRANE defended Austria, de precated the use of abusive language in the house, and said that Lord D. Stuart had gone down to Barclay's brewery to congratulate the men on committing an out rage.—Sir H. VERNEY complained that Austria was un favourable to the circulation of the Scriptures ; and Mr. HENLEY, who spoke against the motion, moved the pre vious question, by consent of Mr. Milnes, which was agreed to. BRIBERY AT HARWICH Sir DE LACY EVA Ns moved for leave to bring in a bill respecting the bribery in Harwich. He wished to place it in the same circumstances at St. Albans, as it was no bet ter.—Mr. CLAY mentioned some curious facts showing the grossness of the bribery there.—Mr. SEYMER thought that the effect of the motion would not be a good one.— Mr. WALPOLE contended that no recent case of bribery had occurred ; as two elections for Harwich had taken place, which were not complained of.—Mr. DUNCOMBE supported the motion ; and Mr. BANEES, who had voted against the commission for St. Albans, would vote against this.—Mr. ROEBUCK thought it was now too late for a mere inquiry ; and on voting there were 95 for, and 137 (majority 42) against the motion.—Mr. DUNCOMBE then moved for a new writ ; but after some remarks from va rious members, it was agreed that notice should be given. Mr. TRELAWNEY, after eleven o'clock, postponed his motion on church rates ; some unimportant motions were made respecting the Poor Law Commission ; and the house adjourned shortly before one. FRIDAY, Amur. 2. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. _ - In reply to a question from Mr. REYNOLDS, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should make his financial statement at as early a period as possible, and hoped to be able, immediately after the recess, to name a day for that statement. DECIMAL COINAGE. In reply to a question from Mr. EWART, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the coinage of the new florin had been delayed by the pressure on the Bank of England for gold coinage ; but he believed that before very long a large amount of florins would be ready for circulation.

COBDEN Mr. COBDEN drew attention to the statements he had made in the debate on the ballot with respect to the sen timents of the Earl of Derby, and read a correspondence which had since passed with that nobleman, showing that he had never given utterance to any such sentiments. It appeared that Mr. Cobden had quoted Hansard, while the noble earl referred to the Mirror of Parliament, both reports being essentially different. Mr. Cobden said be felt bound to withdraw not only the sentiments he had attributed to the noble earl, but also all his own commen taries upon those sentimcnts which he believed were erro neously attributed to the noble lord.—Mr. WALPOLE expressed his gratification at the frank explanation given by Mr. Cobden, THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. Lord JOHN RUSSELL adverted to a recent statement attributed to the Earl of Derby, which created an im pression in the public mind that the Government had changed its intention of dissolving parliament at the earliest possible period. He would, therefore; he said, put some questions to the Government on Monday, on the motion for the house going into supply.—The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER saw no necessity for delaying until Monday to reply to the question of the noble lord. His noble friend at the head of the Government never contemplated any change of intention with regard to the dizaulutitn.. W;tl.ntit staying at ...hat I:bro.:aim/a pArind it might be thought advisable to recommend a dissolution, it was the intention of the Government to resort to a dissolution as soon as the measures necessary for the public service and the good government of the country should be disposed of, and assemble a new one within the present year, and in such ample time that the opinion of the new parliament might be taken on the policy of the present administration. BOROUGH OF HARWICH. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that a new writ be issued for the borough of Harwich, in the room of Robert Wigram Crawford, Esq., whose election has been determined to be void. The hon. gentleman contended that as the house had declined to institute an inquiry into the case of this borough, which was a nest of corruption, it had no right any longer to suspend the writ.—Mr. Bou VERSE moved, as an amendment, that no writ do issue for Har wich during the present session of parliament.—After some discussion, Mr. BouvEttlE withdrew his amend ment, and the writ was directed to be issued. REPAYMENT OF ADVANCES ACT AMENDMENT (IRELANT On the order of the day for the second reading this bill, Mr. FRENch moved as an amendment t the bill be read a second time that day six month The discussion on the subject was diversified by a sc calculated to remind one of the old Irish parliament its fire-eaters.
