The first notice on the list was that of Mr. WALLACE, who moved for an inquiry into the conduct of certain Scotch Judges on a late trial at Glasgow. They were de fended by the LORD ADVOCATE, and, on a division, Mr. Wallace's motion was rejected. Mr. T. DUNCUMBE said that he desired, and would move for, a full inquiry into the proceedings of what was called the secret or inner departments of the Postoffice. When the mails arrived, some individuals from the inner department came in, and took away this or that bag, which, after an hour or two, was delivered to the sorters. They, of course, knew not whose letters had been opened in the inner office ; but he believed that in that office the letters of the foreign ministers themselves were opened. This practice wag not followed in other countries ; so that, though called un-English, it seemed to be confined to England. It had been exercised not only for Sardinia, in Mazzini's case, but for various other foreign states, in the oases of their respective subjects. Commissioners bad been sent from London to examine letters at the country postoffices, and there it was probable that every body's letters were opened. Perhaps the letter of some unhappy foreigner, opened at the London office, is full of gratitude to those friends who have assisted him to escape hither; the letter is given to his government, and his friends are betrayed to the authorities of the state where they reside. You compel every man, under a penalty, to send his letters through the Postoffice, and then you take advantage of the compulsion to open them. If you do open letters, at all events, you ought not to commit for geries of seals and papers in order to conceal the act. Sir J. GRAHAM censured the unfairness of the course taken in the recent debate by the members of the last government, who. with their knowledge of the practice in all past time, had joined in unjuitly imputing to him an improper departure from it. After the course they bad so taken, it was now become impossible that these powers could be henceforth exercised without some inquiry which should satisfy the public mind on the subject of them. The result of that inquiry would be, that his own conduct bad been in strict conformity net only with the statute law, but with established usage. It was his intention, however, to move an amendment upon the present mo tion. There must be an inquiry, and by a committee of that house ; but be thought, and here he followed prece dent, that the public interest required such a committee to be a secret one ; and it ought to meet instantly. He would propose that it should consist of nine members, whom he named. Th;s list excluded all the ministers, as being the persons accused ; and it excluded Mr. Duncombe himself, without any disrespect, but as being, in a peculiar manner, the accuser upon this occasion. Mr. ROEBUCK asked whether it would be expedient that a committee of which the object was to give security to the public mind should be a secret one ? The state of the law, and the alterations which it might require, were to be examined ; and yet there was not a lawyer among the nine who had been named. He wished that the law should be looked into and reported upon by some persons in whose knowledge on that subject the house could have confidence. lie fully sympathized in the feelings expressed by Sir J. Graham as to the personal attacks which he had sustained, especially from the infamous calumnies of the daily press. But be rejoiced that this Postoffice power was about to undergo inquiry ; for when the public should understand the iniquities which bad been incident to it, under all administrations, its speedy destruction must follow. Mr. LAM:MERCER declared that he individually, end not the late government, was responsible for the consoli dation of the Postoffice acts in 1837. Ile thought it of great importance to preserve the feeling of the sanctity of a seal, but he admitted that in extreme cases, as when danger to the life of a Sovereign was apprehended, the letters of private persons might fitly be opened. He con curred in the opinion that the committee ought to be a secret one ; but he wished the nomination of the members to be deterred till the next day. Sir R. PEEL cordially and personally rejoiced at the op portunity which would now be afforded to the whole go vernment of sharing that responsibility for an invidious function, which ought not to rest individually on the Se. cretary of State. The government had purposely omitted lawyers ; they had not wished to originate a squabbling about legal constructions, which would have been regarded by the public as a diversion and distinction from the real object of the inquiry. The point upon which the people of England wished to be informed was not the point of law. An objection was made as to the proposal of secrecy, but without such a guarantee you would not obtain from TnYlivicluals that full disclosure which was so necessary to the precept purpose. Lerd 3. Barassnn approved the suggestion of secrecy. After some discussion about the terms in which the in quiry should be directed, the amendment was unanimously carried. Nine members having been nominated viz., Lord Sandon, Mr. W. flatten , , Mr. T. Baring, Si r W. Heath rote Sir C. Leon 1,1 r• Warburton , Mr. Strutt, the O'Conor m' Don, and Mr. Ord, Mr. JAMES made a formal motion for the addition of Duncombe, upon which the house divided — Against the addition l2B For it ..........

Mr, 31 , ,cKIN:soN wit .drew his motion. By the Overland Mail letters and papers from all parts of our Indian Empire have been received. The latest dates are from Bombay to the 206, and from Calcutta to the 11th of May, from Macao to the 10th, and Hong Kong to the Bth of April. The mail from England of the 6th of April had reached Bombay on the 12th of May. The principal intelligence brought by the Indian mail of the 20th of May relates to the state of the Punjaub, which appears now to be more distracted than ever. A bloody fight is stated to have taken place on the 7th of May, be tween Heera Singh, the present Prime Minister, and the party of the sons of Ruujeet Singh, who are opposed to him, led on by Ittur Singh, a chief of considerable influ ence. Ittur Singh was considered by some of the parti sans of Heera as being supported by the British, and they therefore have threatened to invade the territories of the latter, to revenge themselves on those who had counte nanced the proceedings of Ittur Singh. The threatened movement of the notorious Ackbar Khan on Peshawur bad not taken place. The position of his father, Dhost Mahomed, was by no means satisfactory ; it was thought he would resign his sovereignty into the hand of Ackbar. The news from Scinde extends to the 16th of May. Sir Charles Napier was busy in making preparations for the meeting of the Belochee chiefs, which was to take place on the 24th of May, when it is said that upwards of 17,000 of them would attend, each having an unarmed attendant. In Upper Scinde, were General Simpson (who was to be succeeded by General Hunter) commanded, nothing re. mailable had occurred. Preparations were going On f or the purpose of putting down the freebooters under Beeja Khan. Great expectation was entertained respecting the meet. ing of two large corps of troops, which are to be collected towards the months of August and September on the Sutleje ; the one to the west to be commanded by General Sir Charles Napier, and the other , near Ferozepore, by Sir Hugh Gough. The attempts lately made to corrupt tke fidelity of the British sepoys, and the large sums sent to Ferozepore and its vicinity (X 170,000) have excited a strong wish for punishing the unprincipled chiefs of La hore. The large force of 80,000 men was therefore order ed, and it was thought that Lord Ellenborough and Sir C. Napier would undertake the conquest of the Punjaub, the former as a diplomatist and a politician, and the latter as a general. In Gwalior there were intrigues fomented by the Queen Dowager against the British and the Regent established oafnpito capital. rbey there ; but a caution and a threat had been given her on theha: The d b v h a e part . of the Sureme Government.

The following counsel ap peared on behalf of the plaintiffs in error :—Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., Mr. Peacock, Mr. J. W. Smith, Mr. Lelee, Mr. Close, Mr. Coleman O'Loghlen, Mr. Crampton, and Mr. Ser. jeant Murphy. The counsel for the crown :—The Attor ney-General (Sir W. Follett), the Solicitor-General (Sir F. Thesiger), the Attorney-General for Ireland (Mr. Smith), and Mr. Waddington. All the law lords, except Lord Langdale, were present. The following judges were in attendance :—Lord Chief Justice Denman, Lord Cbief Justice Tindal, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice Maule. The Lord Chancellor having asked what course the counsel for the plaintiffs intended to pursue, Sir T. Wilde replied that he appeared for Mr. Daniel O'Connell. The defendants throughout the indictment bad defended se parately, and they now brought separate writs of error. The points on which they meant to rely were different from each other. He proposed that Mr. Peacock and himself should be heard for Mr. Daniel O'Connell; that two other counsel shall be heard for the remaining par ties; that Mr. Hill shall be heard for Mr. Steele, and Mr. Kelly for all the other defendants.—Lord Brougham : That will be four counsel altogether.—Sir T. Wilde : That is so. We have also, with a view to the convenience of the house, arranged that we shall not all address your lordships on the same points.—The Lord Chancellor : How do you propose to arrange about the replies ? Do you propose that there shall be one reply for all?—Sir 'l'. Wilde: No, my lord; we propose that there shall be three replies.—The Lord Chancellor :—Allow me to bring your attention to the fact that the circuits are fixed for Wednesday next. The learned judges must go then. If the arguments are not completed at that time, I fear that it will be impossible for us to go on with the case afterwards.—Sir T. Wilde : Of course, my lords, we shall bear that in mind ; and, so far as it is consistent with justice, we shall act upon that knowledge.—The Lord Chancellor : Well, having stated to you the actual state of things, we shall let you take your own course.— Lord Brougham : There are but four days. And when I state that, I hope it will be understood that this maximum will not be the minimum.—The Lord Chancellor : I ought also to call your attention to the fact, that the judges may be compelled to take a day to consider your objections to the judgment. So that, practically, you will have but three days. Sir Thomas Wilde then addressed the house at great length on behalf of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. The learned gentleman concluded his address at a few minutes to five o'clock, and the Lord Chancellor adjourned the further hearing of the case till Friday at ten o'clock. On Friday, Mr. Peacock addressed their lordships for D. O'Connell, and was succeeded by Mr. M. D. Hill for Mr. Steele and Mr. Barrett, who was speaking when their lordships rose. On Saturday Mr. Hill concluded his address, and was followed by Mr. Kelly, who had not concluded whe.p their lordships rose. 1843. 1844. Incr. Deer.

On the property tax. however, the increase amounts to the vast sum of £1,929,666, which, added to the increase —vn upo the customs, excise, stamps, taxes. and post-officeiz, £1,368L602, as above, gives a total increase from exclu sively native and regular.sources of £3.298,168, the actual bona' fide increase upon the year.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. THE RUNNING REIN CASE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MONDAY, JULY 1. (Before Baron Alderson and a Special Jury.) WOOD V. PEEL. The counsel for the defendant were the Solicitor-Gene ral, Mr. Martin. and Mr. Wortley; and for the plaintiff, Mr. Cockburn, Mr. James, and Mr. Lush. Mr. Cockburn proceeded to state the case, and said that the point at issue was, whether the colt called Run ning Rein was got by The Saddler out of Queen Mab, and foaled in 1841. After calling upon the jury to divest their minds of all that they might have heard of the case out of that court, he told them that the question which they had to try was not one of opinion or science, but purely of fact. The horse in question won the last Derby race, and won it gallantly ; but a dispute subsequently took place as to its age, and Col. Peel, the owner of Or- i lando, the second horse in the race, claimed the stakes. Mr. Wood had then taken the onus upon himself of pro- ving the age of the horse; and he (Mr. Cockburn) should be able to give to the jury a history of the colt, from the first moment of its existence up to the time of the race, and prove it by witnesses whom he should place in the fox before them. The learned counsel then proceeded to detail the facts connected with the birth of the colt, and traced him from place to place, as afterwards proved in evidence. He stated that the real defendant in this case was Lord George Bentinck, although Col. Peel had al lowed himself to be put forward, with that fairness which distinguished all his conduct on the turf and elsewhere. Mr. Cockburn then made some very strong observations on the conduct of these who had made their bets, let the horse run and win, and then entered their protest. The ground of the objection to the horse was a pretence that one colt had been substituted for another; but when, where, or how, they did not say ; or what colt had been substituted they did not state ; and what the other side relied upon he bad not the slightest conception of. When his learned friend opened his case, he should better know what he had to grapple with. He did, however, look with great confidence to the result of the case. He concluded, as he began, by calling upon the jury to divest their minds of everything which did not come fairly before them. Several witnesses were then examined and cross-exa mined at great length, in reference to the identity and the age of the colt, after which Mr. Baron Alderson said he supposed the horse could be seen. The Solicitor-General said they had made an applica tion to see the horse and had been refused, although they had his lordship's order. Mr. Cockburn.—Yes, because the order was not pro- perly used. Mr. Baron Alderson said he thought it was only rea sonable that he and the jury should see the horse ; there fore he trusted it would be up by to-morrow morning. Unless the horse was seen, the verdict would certainly be set aside, whatever should be the verdict. For his own part, he should like to see the mouth. (Laughter.) After some discussion between the Solicitor-General and Mr. Cockburn, on the point of refusal, Mr. Baron Alderson put it to the jury to say, whether they did not think it was reasonable that they should see the horse. The Foreman said he thought it was and Mr. Baron Alderson again urged diat the horse must he seen, and said it would be very much the worse for the parties if it were not. Mr. Cockburn.—Very well, my lord. Mr. Baron Alderson said there would be plenty of time, as he saw plainly that they should be there for a day or two. (Laughter.) The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with ; finally the court adjourned until next day. TUESDAY, JCLY 2. i_intheCoefult At the sittings of the court this morning, and after some further evidence bad been adduced, Mr. Baron Al derson inquired whether the horse was brought up, so that it could be examined, when, in reply, it was stated Running Rein could not be found ; on which Mr. Cock burn said he could not proceed further in the case, and the learned Baron directed a vei diet to be entered for the defendant.—Mr. Cockburn here admitted that his client, Mr. Wood, had been deceived, for he had been no party to the fraud.—The learned Baron said he was surprised that English noblemen should associate with such charac ters; they must be aware that they would be plundered. lorf.

ANI) tIRMINGIIAM RAILWAY.—By all A t it "ngelnent Witt, the Post-office, the down day mail-train betNeen London and Birmingham will accomplish the j , oirney in four hours and the up in four-and• a-half. On Wednesday a special train went from Birmingham to London, 1121 miles, including stoppa2es, in three hour6l or at the rate of thirty-seven-and-a-half miles per hour. There is every probability of a railway being made to unite the Holyhead and Birkenhead Railways at Chester, with the town of Mold. The passenger traffic from the interior of North Wales through Mold to Chester arid Liverpool, is at present very considerable. The vicinity of Mold abounds in coal, iron. limestone, lead, and other commodities, which will he conveyed to the river Mersert at Birkenhead by means of this railway. The following railway bills received the royal assent, by commission, on Thursday :—The Leeds and Bradford Railway Bill ; Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale Rail way Bill; Yolk and Scarborougo Railway Bill; Easters Counties Railway (Brandon and Peterborough Extension) Bill; Salisbury Branch Railway Bill; Wlitehaven and Maryport Railway Bill ; Chester and Holyhead Railway Bill; North British Railway Bill; Edinburgh and Glas gow Railway Bill; Brighton and Chichester Railway Bill; South Devon Railway Bill ; South-Eastern Railway Bill; Slainannan Junction Railway Bill; Stratford (Easterst Counties) and Thames Junction Railway Bill. Low RAILWAY FARES.—During the five weeks end ing 30th June, 593,665 passengers travelled on the Black wall line, and £6,925 13s. lid. was received in fatter varying from 2d. to 6d. per passenger. The following is a comparative statement of the traffic of the correspond ing weeks of the previous years, from which it will be seen that the receipts of the railway have advanced about 40 per cent. over those of last year; as also, that on the number carried during the last five weeks a single penal advance on the tares would give equal to £2098 12s.

In 1844 LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—TiIe Prestos Chronicle states. that a memorial to the directors of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway has been in course of signature, in Lancaster, for a deviation of the line of rail way, so that it would cross the river Lune near the Custom-house, which would allow vessels at the port of Lancaster to receive cargoes of coal, &c., per the line of railway, instead of, as now, leaving the port with ballast. The trade in coals and other articles would be thus in* creased ; and it is expected that the facility of intermediate transmission inland, by railway, would also increase the import trade of Lancaster, particularly in Irish produce. The memorialists consider that the proposed deviation would not only be shorter than the parliamentary line! and that it would therefore be perpetually worked and maintained at a less cost to the company and be more advantageous to the traveller, but that its original con struction would be less expensive. DEPUTATION OF RAILWAY DIRECTORS TO SIR B. PEEL.—On Monday, as stated in the Court Circular, • deputation of Directors from most of the railways waited upon Sir Robert Peel, for the purpose of laying before the Right Honourable Baronet their views on the subject of the Ministerial measure respecting the railways of the kingdom. Among the members of the deputation we observed, the Chairman of the London and Birmingham? the Great Western, the South-Western, and the Smith- Eastern Railways. The Right Honourable Baronet re ceived the deputation with his usual courtesy, and listened with great attention to their case, which was laid before him at considerable length. A long conference ensued, in which the Directors enlarged on the objectionable character of the whole measure, both in its principle and details, and concluded by expressing a hope that at the present late period of the session, the B:11 would be post poned. Sir Robert Peel declined acceding to the request of the deputation for a postponement until the next season. RAILWAY PROPERTY.—In the large provincial towns, where this species of property is dealt in almost as regu larly as it is in London, the brokers have adopted the plan of drawing out returns for six months past in a ta bular form, exhibiting not only the variations in price? but also in traffic, dividends, &c., and giving at one view their entire history and present position. Under this" head, the fluctuations in value chiefly call for notice, and we select the following from one of the lists : July 1. Jan. 1. Birmingham and Derby..
