" /A 10 1 ng: tll4 ?OREIGN INTELLIGENCE• , ♦ FRANCE. .1 PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. i . 411 will, no doubt, have already learned by 43 'fgirap h the important piece of news which 12 , , ,, 4 ehedMarseilles last evening, namely, that the Russians fired on an English gun boat, the Bad , Eel', at Yenikale, to prevent her from entering the eaof Azoff, when she was sent to enquire by what l ight the Russians had captured certain Turkish -l'essels. This news is confirmed by another des , reit to-day, but we are without d e tails. People ,;. er e. are very curious to know the view that wul be taken of the matter in England. The ca pture of Herat by the Persians is confirmed. If .What, I have heard to-day be correct, nothing definite will be settled about Bolgrad and the Isle ' de Serpents, or the convocation of a Congress, to al with the questions relative to them, until the 11 ,, (1 , 1 ! Turkish Ministry shall have de c ided what Po licy it m eans t o f o ll ow , an d s h a ll h ave communi "ted it to the powers.

There has been great activity er 4440 the P4/049ters of the Allied Powers left Naples, and more particularly within 1 the last two or three days. A considerable amount of stock has been sold, and as rapidly bought up by the government, so that the funds have thus maintained a high figure. On Tuesday they stood at 108 Z. Yesterday a variety of reports was circulating, the source of which was easily to be detected, and among others that Henry V. had been proclaimed, a report to be placed in the same category with 'mother absurdity that had been sown among the bussa classe last week that the cause of quarrel between England and" Naples was, that his Majesty had refused to listen to overtures for a marriage between a British Princess and the Hereditary Prince of this country, and that the refusal was dictated by a difference of religion. The telegraph has met with another accident, and that takis in connection with the great activity displayed at the Bourse would show that some uneasiness exists, for the maladies of the telegraph are always sympathetic Yesterday, in fact, no despatches were received or communicated. As I have already told you, we have not seen the British or the French flag in our port since last Thursday. Advices have been received that the Centaur and the Osprey are both in Palermo, the latter in quarantine ; she is expected here immediately. The weather is so stormy, that we do not expect the postal steamer from Marseilles to-day. and it is doubtful, perhaps, whether this letter will leave. ment The knaOacks, are, tow made of gutta perch", being waterproof and much lighter than those hitherto in use ;.the mess's cloaks are also impervious to the rain, and tents,. similar to those used by the French army, have been furnished to the infantry, besides which the depot companies of the artillery regiments have been transformed into independent 12 pounder foot batteries, with the addition of a 7-inch mortar gun for hollow shot. The fortresses of Carlsborg, Waxholm, Carlsteen, and Carlserona,' have undergone great repairs, and. been considerably strengthened during the past and the present year. At Car?sborg a .bomb-proof barrack, of 1,200 feet in length, has been com pleted, and at Waxhohn a spacious reservoir, capable of containing 100,000 gallons of water has been cut in the rock. At Carlsteen a number of strand batteries have been erected for the defence of the approaches from the seabord and other im provements made to the outworks- of the fortress. The cannon foundries of Finspang and Aker during the past year cast 60 light pieces of ordnance, and 20 large Paixhans guns for the artillery. In the topographic department great activity is perceptible, and the ordnance survey of the country has been prosecuted with great energy. Ten offimrs of the ongineers have been actively engaged on this work all the summer, in the province of Malmo, and seven more are still employed in surveying the district of Westerwick. The topographic map of Sweden will, therefore, be completed shortly, which will become a work of great strategic im portance. AGAINST A " STRANGE LORD." A young man of the name of John Lowes, or Lowis, who, we believe, is a native of Wetheral, and who is supposed to be a " ticket-of-leave convict, stole two young bullocks, on Friday night, out of a field on the North Scough farm. Lowes has been in the neighbour hoods of Penrith and Wigtown during the last ten months- On Saturday morning he sold the bullocks to a dealer, telling hits that they belonged to a Mr. Bowstead, of King Harry, to whom he said he was head man. Aster becoming possessed of the money, the first thing he did was to go to the shop of Mr. Atkinson, draper, where he purchased a new suit of black clothes for £3 19s, which were sent after him to Mr. Robertshaw's, the Castle beer house at Penrith, he having left Carlisle on the Saturday evening by the train for the former place. He had also purchased at Carlisle two or three gold rings and a fine long gold chain. On Sunday he made a tour to Ullswater lake with some Penrith young men, where he spent the after noon in a larkish manner. On Monday morning he hired a fine spanking grey hunter at the New Crown Hotel, and was one of the field of sportsmen with the Eamont harriers, and cleared all that he came at. On Wednesday he did the like mounted on the same steed.As early as six o'clock on Friday morning he again engaged his favourite hunter, and dressed in first-rate hunting style, having on top boots and spurs, yellow buckskin breeches, light coloured waistcoat, neat dark jacket, jockey shape, yellow leather gloves, one of which he had not on, in order to display two gold rings on his left hand, a gold chain round his neck, a good whip, a cigar in his month, and, thus equipped, he started off in high glee to the fox hunt on Broadfield, near Hesket, where he was surmised to be some " strange ; lord," and he was considered to be the most plucky and best rider in the numerous field. After the hunt, instead of returning to Penrith with his horse he rode d ma to Carlisle, where he remained, we believe, at the Newcastle Railway station hotel over night. On Friday evening the police at Penrith received information of the robbery; suspicion immediately fell upon the " strange lord"; and Inspector Robinson, who surmised his whereabouts to be at or in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, was on Saturday afternoon despatched by the evening train in search of him, but on arriving he found that the "strange lord" had left Carlisle about twenty minutes before the arrival of the train. The officer being thus foiled in his pursuit, and there not being another train for Penrith till evening, he did not reach that place till after six o'clock. The " strange lord" arrived at Pen rith between six and seven o'clock, contrary to the expec tation of many, who felt confident that he had gone off with the spanking hunter. A policeman had been set to take him in the Crown yard, but was absent on other business when Lowes rode in. On dismounting, he told Vickers, the head ostler, that he would just step over the way to Pattinson's, the British Queen beer house, where he had his other clothes, and change his dress, and would presently return and p a y t h e t wo d ays ' hire for the hunter. Vickers, however, knowing that the police had been enquiring after him, followed him to Pat tinson's, but before he got there, Mrs. P. had informed the "strange lord" that the police had been enquiring after him. He changed his clothes, and told Vickers that he would go with him to the Crown Hotel, and pay Mr. Dixon for the horse hire himself. Both prociTiled over the street, and down the yard, and Vickers, in high Wee, stepped up the step into the house, but the "strange lord " di 'l :not follow him as he expected ; he delibe rately walked through the passsage into the street, and thus made his escape. Vickers, on looking about for his man, found that he was not there. Search was made for him by the pollee ail ozer the town and some neigh bouring villages, but he was not again heard of till Sunday morning, when, it is said, he called at Delemain, the residence of E. W. Hassell, Esq., and asked the gardner for a job in his line. Ho had breakfast there, and very soon left. Although information of the robbery, and a description, of the thief have been diffused both far and near, he has not been heard of since last Sunday morn ing.—Carlisle Patriot. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Yesterday morning, shortly after nine o'clock, a man was knocked down and killed instantaneously on the Great Northern R tilway, between Hornsey and Southgate, by the down express train to Edinburgh. It, appears that the express train which left London shortly after nine o'clock this morning, proceeded on its journey, all right, until it reached Hornsey. Between that station and Southgate a man was seen to step on the line in front of the train, and was k ocked down. The train was at once pulled up, and the gurd, upon proceeding back, found that the man was cut and battered about so much that it was impossible to recognise his features, Assistance was at once at hand, and the remains having been picked up, were conveyed to Hornsey, and placed in a shell. Oa him were found two envelopes, addressed to same person in Westbourno terrace, Westbonrne grove, Paddington, Mr. Williams, the in spector, was shortly on the spot, and caused a man to be sent off to the address immediately. From what could be gathered this seems to be en act of suicide. It is stated that a boy observed the person loitering about the line for some time previously, looking up and dawn the line as if for one of the trains. Information has been forwarded to the coroner, and an official enquiry will take place! BRAZIL Mto Ls.—Mr. Priaulx, the Portuguese Vice- Consul at Southampton, has received notice that the Post office authorities stating that, in accordance with his request, mails will be made up in that town for places at which the Bra;il and Peniusular mail steamers call. The mails will be made up on the day the steamers leave Southampton. Letters from the above named places for Southampton will no longer be sent to London before they are delivered. EMBEZZLEMENT PREVENTED.—A correspondent says : "When an account is opened by a country house, or indeed by any cu•tomers upon when the traveller, in the course of his duties, will have to wait, a number of slips should be sent by post to the customer, regeestiag him to fill one up and transmit it by first post to the chief cashier, or other party authorized to receive it, marked private, whenever any payment is made by him to the collector, and by this simple means the firm would always he in possession of the precise sums collected, and prevent in most cases an impro per use being made of the money. Tee slips may be printed thus in blank ;-1356. I have this day paid to your collector, Mr, --, the sum of £—. Signed, —. Messrs. —. They should be printed in duplicate to leave a counterfoil." THE Frierson PRESS.—There is a rumour that all the Paris papers have the intention of transferring them elves into eyenipg papers, and this report has caused deep anxiety to the existing evening journals, The Potrie, which is the semi-official organ of the Government, has reduced it price from 20 centimes to 15 centimes, in order to render its position the more secure. Now that the Parliamentary debates are of small interest, there can be no advantage in publishing a morning edition, which con- tains intelligence 24 hours old; consequently the intentions attributed to the'daily morning papers may hate some foundation in truth. It is said that the journal Lee Verite, which haS hitherto struggled for a bare existence, has been purchased for 20:)Q,00(.) francs by M. Milland, a rival on the Bourse of M. Mires, the chief proprietor of the Constitutionnel and the Pays, and will shortly appear, under an able management, as an evening journal.— Correspondent of Globe. Loss o THE SHIP MATESTIC.—The loss of this ship has been reported at Lloyd's. A letter, dated Charlotte Town, Prince Edward's Island, October 29, supplies the following particulars :—" On Tuesday evening the schooner Lucy Ann brought the British mails and part of the passengers from the ship Majesty, Captain Welsh, which was stranded near Piston Lighthouse. We have gleaned the following particulars from Captain Jordan, a passenger who came out in the Majestic. She left Liverpoel on September 15, and experienced head winds and heavy weather getting down the Bistol Channel. On Wednesday last she came through the Gut of Canso, with a fair wind, but off Cape George the wind came ahead, and on Friday morning passed the Georgetown light, and stood up the go . tnyytlrde River John the wind being heavy with thick snow, bore up for Piston Roads, and' came to an anchor about four o'clock, half a mile from. the lighthouse, in about eight fathoms water ; the re'tt, the shin dragged both anchors, i and Omit two o'clock. commenced strikine on the beach, but made no water until Sanday morning. When the passengers left on Monday'she had nine feet of water in the hold. 'Mears. Crerar took charge of the ship, and had a steamer alongside to render assistance, and after the wind moderated two schooners were employed taking off goods. The Majesticls owned by W. W. Lord and Co., and bad a valuable cargo of goods for merchants in the city, of not less I ,' value than £36,000 sterling. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. ACTION FOR LIBEL THE NOR HI ERN TIMES In yesterday's NORTHERN TIMES we gave a brief report of the proceedings in this caia on Monday last. Having since obtained a full report of all that has taken plat', from the notes of special short-hand writers, in London, we now subjoin the same : COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER-HALL, Tuesday, 41h November, 1856. GRACE v. WILLMER. Mr. Milward : In a case of Grace v. Willmer, I have to move fee a rule to show cause why the venue should not be ell d from Middlesex to the Southern division of Lan e !shire. The case is before Mr. Justice Crampton, in Chambers, and a very old point has arisen about the privi lege of attornies suing at Westminster. The judge directed the matter to be mentioned to the court. There is no ques tion, really, is to the necessity of changing the venue oil the groun:ls laid before the learned judge; for, the fact is, that the cause of action arose, and all the witnesses reside at the same pace, and that the trial could be much more con- Campbell: verLiverpool than in London. T l Is that fact denied by the ie)rudtl(vmhieelfd Justice a t other side ? Mr. Mii ward : No, my lord, it is not contradicted by the other side, but 'he p!aietiff oa the other side says, that he is an attorney, and that because he is an attorney he has a right to retain the venue in Middlesex, and, therefore, that raises the question, whether or not that old privilege of atternica still subsists, or is applicable to the present position of the perties ; and, in consequence, I have to make the present motion to your lordships. Lord Chief Justice Campbell : Ile may have a trial at bar; the privilege is, suing in a particular court, and arraining the venue where he is attending. Mr. Milward : Here is a gentleman who has certainly raked up many old pecularities at law ; a gentleman who has been appointed Judge of a Wapen take Court ; and this learned judge, some year or two ago, 'managed to set up his court in opposition to the County Court of Chester. The court has since been abolished by the Lord Chancellor. The action to be tried (the change of venue, which is the subject of this motion) is so action for libel against a newspaper in Liverpool, which has thought proper to take notice of the proceedings of the court over which Mr. Grace presides, some of which, it is stated, are not very creditable. Mr Justice Coleridge : He sues in person, of course. Mr. Milward : Yes, my lord. The defendant means to justify, and all the witnesses in the cause are at Liverpool. And then it appears that Mr. Grace, although occupying the position of one of her Majesty's judges of a Wapentake Court, is insolvent, and utterly unable to meet the claims which might arise (in case the defendant got his verdict) by increased costs. I think we may assume that I should be entitled to move the venue, and indeed it was not disputed before the learned Judge at Chambers. The only question then would be, whether the fact of his being an attorney was any bar to the court in that respect, and I shall have to quarrel with the view which the learned authors or editors of Archbold's Chitty have taken upon that question, on the ground that they have taken the old cases without looking at the recent decisions. The only authorities on this question are, two which they do mention, and one which they do not mention, because one of the cases mentioned in their notes, the case of Pitcher v. the Sheriff of Middlesex, 2nd Marshall, page 152, has really nothing at all to do with the question. It goes entirely on different g , ounis. The other case which they mention is the case of Pye v. Leigh. That was an action of libel, in which a question of privilege arose, and on that was built all the superstructure of the privilege of an attorney, and the attorney had proceeded by his privilege in the Q teen's Bench. Lord Chief J istice Campbell : Do you say- that any Act of Parliament whatever has varied the law on the subject ? Mr. Milward : Yes, my lord, there was a special Act of Parliament—it was specifically mentioned in a subsequent Act of Parliament. Mr. Justice Wightmon : If an attorney lived in Middlesex, he had the privilege of suing in Middlesex. Mr. Milward : I do not think he would have had the privilege of maintaining it according to the later cases. They put it entirely on the ground that the privilege arose from their necessarily attending in court. And it says, " This privilege of an attorney of Middlesex arises not from any rule of court, but by the common law, as a consequence of the nature of their business." The plaintiff, having this privilege, has exerted it by laving his venue in Middlesex, and the question now is whe:her the defendant has a right to change it on the " common affidavit." Lord - Chief Justice Campbell : How are we to suppose that the C !art of Queen's Bench should sit at Uertford or Oxford? Mr. Milward : That is only if he comes qua attorney to sue qya attorney. Lord Chief Justice Campbell : Might he insist on the venue of Middlesex, if this court sits, as it may do, in another county. Mr. Milward : Suppose it sits in another county, has he the privilege of bringing the Queen's Bench up to Middlesex to attend the learned judge of the Wapentake court ? I have not much more to trouble the court with, beyond the fact on which the privilege was orginally supposed to be founded. Then, there is a case of Iletherin4ton v. Louth, which is not cited by the learned authors or editors of Archbold's Chitty, which is in 2nd Strange, 836. It is very short, and is in these terms :—" The defendant pleaded the privilege of C. 8., and the plaintiff moved to set it aside, he suing as an attorney of B. R., upon the foot of privilege taking away privilege. But the court said, that it was a point of law which they would not determine as a motion ; but put the plaintiff to demur to it. N B This was moved again n•-xt term by Reeve, and we produced the declaration, by which it appeared the pl a i n tiff sue d b y or i g i na l, wh i ch ' was held a waiver of his privilege"—drawing a distinction. Then, there is another case mentioned, which I should have thought an authority the other way to what is mentioned in Archbold's Chitty ; your lordships will find it in the 7th Barnwall and Cresswell :--" Where an attorney sues as a common person, and not as an officer of the court, the proceedings most be governed by the ordinary rules of practice, and he loses his right to retain the venue in Middlesex." There it was put that he would come under the general rules, unless some special direction was made. So, I would say, here he would come under the general proceedings of the Common Law Procedure Act, unless there was some special alteration in his favour. Lord Chief Justice Campbell ; You can take a rule to show cause. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH', WESTMINSTER-HALL. Monday, 17th November, 1856,. GRACE v. NVTLLMER. JIZILIGMENT. Lord Campbell: We cannot make a retrospective order. I regret very much that I cannot give it, as it is my opinion that the rule should be made absolute. 1 have no doubt that the course of action woull be bettered by making the rule absolute; for I think thit this is a case in which the trial ought to take place in the county where the cause of action arose ; and I think it is conclusively shown to us that it would be mach more convenient to the parties and the witnesses that are called, that the trial should take place in Lancashire rather than Middlesex ; and if I did not think that there is still an absolute privilege given by law to an attorney, to lay his venue in the Court of Queen's Bench, in Middlesex, I should be of opinion diet the rule should be made absolute, But think, as it seems clear upon very high authority—on the authority of my brother P4tteson— that that was a privilege which did belong to attorneys before the Uniformity of Process Act was passed, and as I think that that act did not at all intend to deprive all that class of practitioners of the privilege which they had before eejoeed, that then nothing has ken shown in this cause to deprive the plaintiff of this privilege, because, as an attorney, he does all he quit to enjoy it. He tries an issue in • his own name, and lays the venue in the County of Middlcsex. I think it not fair to deprive him of it. I think it would be no privilege, it, in a particular ease, you are to consider that it is a mere question of whether, upon the whole, the trial ought to take place in the County of Middlesex, or in the county where the cause of action arose; because that would be to treat it merely as a question of convenience, and would take away the privilege altogether. Now, I think, that the plainer course is to abide by what is considered to be the law on the subject; and, for the future, the judges have the power now vested in them, of making rules Which may, not only alter procedure, but may alter practice; which goes beyond mere procedure; and, thereby, of depriving the attorney of his privilege, which I think is very inconvenient —and which, in the present state of society, is not at all necessary. The judges have a sight to make such a rule; and I should, very respectfully, submit to my brothers that it is a fit occasion to exercise that authority; and, if they should be of that opinion, the rule may be made which, in future, may prevent inconvenience similar to that against which we are now struggling. Bet I think that the more convenient course, at present, would be to consider that this privilege does exist; and that though the trial would be more convenient in The county where the cause of action arose, still the plaintiff, de jure, has a right to have it tried in the County of Middlesex, he being in practiee in that count- • - ' Mr. Justice Coleridge : I am of the same opinion ; and I quite feel th at the privilege of the atterney was founded, originally, oqcireurnstances, and for reasons, which no longer exist; and s therefore, any prieilege whiCh no lonc'er ov One not to b e affirmed, and I should IA Very gla d to see it t a k en away.

A letter from Fribourg, in the Debats, gives some details of the disturbances which took place there on the 9th, the fact of which we have already men tioned :—" In the evening of the Bth, a number of persons entered a milk shop and compelled the owner to sell the milk at a reduced price to any one that came. On the following day, a carman who had gone with a load of casks of wine into the canton of Berne, filled his casks on return ing, with potatoes for the canton of Vaud In passing through this place, the nature of his loading having been discovered, a crowd assembled, took possession of the cart, and drove it to the public square, where the casks were opened, and the greatest part carried off by the people. The prefect being informed of what had taken place, ordered the potatoes to be restored to their owner, and he was paid for the part which was missing. An individual who had ili treated another citizen at the time of this rob bery was arrested. Several of his comrades wished to rescue him, but the gendarmery stood firm, and arrested two of the aggressors. A fresh crowd as sembled before the guard house, demanding the release of the three prisoners, but the prefect ener getically refused to comply while the crowd remained. On this, the most violent of them went away, crying out Aux Armes ! but when the crowd had somewhat dispersed the prisoners were set at liberty. About four o'clock, the waggon with the potatoes left the town, escorted as far as the gates by the gendarmery, who were assailed by the people. At half past four a fresh crowd assembled in the Rue de Lausanne, and stopped a large waggon, which was said to be loaded with potatoes. A party of gendarmes had great diffi culty in releasing it and making a passage for it to proceed on its journey. Five minutes after, an unfortunate event took place in the Rue des Oies. The lieutenant of the gendarmery and three of his men attempted to arrest a workman who was the ringleader in the previous disturbances. The man, however, resisted, and in the scuffle he was shot through the head, and died in a short time after The crowd on seeing this became ex asperated, and raised cries of Vengeance ! Aux Armes ! For a moment, the gendarmes were in great danger, but, a reinforcement coming up, they were extricated The generale was beaten, and for a time serious its turhances were apprehended. The national guards at first turned out, but many of them afterwards returned to their homes. Some women were seen disarming their husbands, while others, on the contrary, were exciting them against the armed force. One part of the national guard, however, went to assist the gendarmery and defend the arsenal. The night passed off quietly, with the exception of some vociferations against the gen darmery. Measures of precaution have been adopted for the fair of this day. NEUFCHATEL. The Assern"lee Nationale copies from a German paper, the Nouvelliste de Hamburg, a paragraph stating that— "M. de Savigny, the Prussian Envoy to the Helvetic Confederation, is about to proceed from Sigmariagen to Berne, in order to read to the Council a note relative to the liberation of the persons in custody. and of which the contents will be strongly supported by M. de Menshengen, representative of Austria in Switzerland, by M. de Malzen, on the part of BaViiiiit, and M. de Dusch on that of Baden. In the event of the diplomatic steps taken at Berne not being successful, the Prussian Government intends marching three corps of the army against the frontier cantons, and occupying Schaffhausen by way of guarantee ; and Switzerland will be called upon to pay the expenses of the expedition." In this paragraph there are a few errors which it may be worth while to notice. M. Rodolf de Sydow, and not M. do Savigny, is the Envoy of Prussia to the Helvetic Confederation. It is true that a note, more or less in conformity with the resolution of the Diet, is to be presented to the Council, but it is said that it is not menacing in substance or in form, and whatever may be the language of the Austrian Envoy, the Cabinet of Vienna prefers entangling itself as little as possible in the difficulties of the question. POLAND. A letter from Warsaw of the 11th, in the Debat3, says :—" Among the concessions for which Poland is indebted to the Emperor Alexander 11. is that of great liberty granted to literary works. The censorship which was formerly so severe for every work printed in the kingdom or imported from abroad is now much less so. Several pamphlets which recently appeared are sold publicly. These works treat on questions of public utility, point on.t to the Government the material wants of the country, and the means by which the condition of the working classes in beth town and.country might be benefited. Our journals and those of Russia now discuss the great material questions on the order of the day, and it is remarked that, in the circles, in the cafes, and other places of resort, foreign journals, particularly those of France and Germany, may be road, and it is very two that they are now seen with large black patches, from articles being intentionally illegible, which were formerly so often seen on them. Since the peace several corps of Russian troops have left Poland and returned to the interior of the empire, but the garrison of this city and of the fortified places near the Austrian frontiers of Gallicia aro still kept on a war fopting. The other frontiers, particularly those of Prussia, are but weakly guarded." SIVEDnN. STOCKHOLM, Nov. 12. The energy displayed in the Russian naval dock yards and arsenals, where, notwithstanding the lateness of the season, the foundries are at work, and the sound of the hammer is heard from morn ing to night ? has not failed to excite the attention of the Swedes, who, if they do not consider it a direct menace, look upon it at least as a hint to set their house in order. It has been therefore resolved not only to to complete - immediately the chain of fortresses—the so-called "central defensive system" —which has been for, some time in course of con struction, but also to strengthen the defences of the existing citadele, and improve the eff ec ti ve power of the troops by the general introduction of the detonating needle gun, as used in Prussia, anti t4e Minie rifle. Five thousand stand of arms of this description have been purchased in Belgium, and a still greater number are now in hand at the arsenals of llusquarna an 4 ,Cerl-Q-ustays stadt ; so that by next year the old 4 ,‘ brown bess " will be altogathey'discarded, and replaced by 6re-arms of More recent construction. In this city a fiellool for musketry has - been formed similar to that at Vincennes, and each regiment in the Swedish army furnishes two officers to learn the system taught there. An alteration in the soldier's kit has also been made, which may be termed a decided improve- question is, has that been taken away by any Act of the Legislature? C:early not. In plain terms, that is admitted.', All that has been done is. that all persons shall sue in a particular form, the decision on which has been, that as the attorney can no longer exercise his option by sueing in a particular way, but is compelled to sue in another and general form, the privilege still remains, and is not taken away from MM. if that - be a privilege, I certainly have no answer to the question. My' lord put two or three terms—how are you to limit it by consideration of circutin • stances ? If we find it laid down that this was &privilege only to be enjoyed under particular circumstances, 'and admit ed that circnmstancss were to weigh, that, no 'lonbt would very much limit the privilege, and, indeed, might be_. said to take away the very essence of the privilege But I cannot find, that anywhere in the term books. I think, therefore, we should be now makicg law to suit this particular case, if we were.not to discharge this rule, and say that the attorney does not enjoy the privilege which, as plarrtiff in this case, suing in person, he claims. Mr. Justice Wightinan : the question is, whether, since the passing of the Common Low Procedure Act, that privi lege is retained. Ia the case before my brother Patteson, it was decided by him, that was retained, and that the Uniformity of Process Act would not affect it in any way ; and, in the case in the Exchequer, to which reference has been made, and to which I have already referred.--.I thiuk the name of it is Wright a.. Skinner, ls', Aloes m and - Welsby, page 144, it was considered by the court, and held by my brother Patteso in conformity wi h that decision that since the unifermi:v of Process Act has passed, if the attorney did not waive hie privilege of retaining the venue in Middlesex, and the privilege which he would be entitled to, to be sued by writ of privilege, by procee ling under the Unifortnity Process Act, as he was obliged to do even though be did not name himself an attorney, provided he did net sue by another attorney. Those are decision' t ) show that since the Common Law Procedure Act, the attorney has the privilege'of retaining his venue in Middlesex. Then, if there is anything to compete with that privilege, there is no doubt a rule of the court which obtains, in all actions generally, that under special circumstances the venue 'may be retained. But was that rule intended to apply to cases where the , e was a privilege, taking the c ;se of a particular class of individuals with the ordinary rule of the court. It seems to me there is no such rule that would include such a case. It may be expedient that some altervion should be male in this respect, but till it is altered I feel bound to discharge this rnle in accordance with the law as it stands. Mr. Justice E-Ie . Having been decided by more than one Court that, though the bill of privilege is taken away, still a privileged plaintiff, suing by writ of summons, is entitled by his privilege. That having been decided by more than one court, we are bound by it, and the law can not'now be altered, unless the judges choose to interfere by a rule. I cannot help observing that the privilege of bar risters, attornies, and officers of the court., for it extends to all of them, is founded entirely on an entire fiction, utterly contrary to the fact. That they are always in attetelance on the court, in Middlesex, and, though suing as plaintiffs, they are doing an act utterly unconnected with their pro fessional duties, and so has been supposed from all time, or at least from a veryaarly origin, .the privilege was este blishedlounded on no reason. In general, the place of trial is fixed by reference to, the requirements of convenience and jrstice, . and, as barristers and attornies, those consider ations cannot apply, unless the judges pass a rule that those considerations may be applied to them as well as to others. Mr. Prentice : Yonr lordships will exp vas a direction as to the costs, that the plainiff's costs should be the costs in the cause. Lord Chief Justice Campbell : It was formerly held that the Serjeant could only be sued in the Court of Common Pleas, because he was always suppose to be in that court. I do not know how that would apply now, Brother Shee. Mr. Prentice: Will yotir lordship give a direction as to the costs of the rule, and mike them coats in the cause. Lord Chief Justice Campbell . No, nothing will be said about costs; but the rule is discharged. A GREAT AMERICAN SWINDLER Since the immense frauds perpetrated by Charles B. Huntington on brokers in Wall-street have come to light, there is no small share of curiosity in the public mind to learn how it is that he could have been so successful in his rogueries In that place of sharpers. The frauds committed by Schuyler two years ago were easily comprehended. He was the president. of a railroad company, and intrusted with the issue of its stock, and the simplest mind could understand how, with implicit confidence reposed in him, he cool 1 over-issue stock to almost any amount. Hut in the ease of Huntington—whose neine has been•for the last two weeks before the public—it is difficult to coinpreitend bow he, who was unknown in financial circles a year or two ago, could have succeeded in victimising the note shavers of Wall-street to the amount of some half a million dollars. The mode by which he did so we will try to explain. The first trace that we can find of Mr. Huttington's con nection with financial matters dates back only so, tar as 1852, when he and two or three other indiyideals fell into the hands of the police in the city for the share which they had in getting up a fraudulent shinplaster concern, under the title of the, "Farmers' and Merchants' Bank or Georgetown, D.C." indictments were found against him and his accomplices on that occasion,, but they were never brought to trial, on account—as appears from an endorsement on the bill—of some informality or incom. pleteness in the proof. We next find him, shortly there after, having a little box of an office in Wall street, where he purported to carry on the business of a bill broker in small retail style. This business consists in acting as a sort of agent or go-between for brokers oil a larger scale—that is, he would go le a broker and find out what he would sell certain notes fer, and then he would go to another broker and ascertain what he would give for such notes, and then, if he found he could reallie any profit by the transaction, he would buy from one and sell to the other. At this time he boarded up town with his wife on a modest scale. He agreed to pay 15 dollars a week for their board, but even this moderate sum he did not, it is said, find it convenient to pay. He left that boarding house, and went to tho Metro politan Hotel, where he stayed for some time ; but he did not here indulge in any of this extray.agancies into which he afterwards launaheid. He subsequently went to the New York Hotel, where it seems he commenced to be, more liberal in his expenditures. We afterwaMs find him ocenpying part of a house in Fifteenth. street, and recently owning two or three houses in Twenty-second street. Nothing is more strange in connection with Huntingdon's career than the fact that he was eo little known in Wall street or in commercial circles. Our reporter conversed to-day with some of the principal brokers in the street few of them had dealings with him, and most of them had never heard of him until the time of his arrest. And yet he could raise half a million of dollars among that 6 0 ,6,_ ternity on forged notes, wherein the signatures did not even pretend to be imitations. The supposition is that it is only within the last thirteen months that Huntingdon commenced to operate on forged paper. It may not even be so long. He had now an office at 52, Wall street, and professed to carry on the legitimate business of a note broker. As most of our readers are in blissful ignorance of the business of note shaving, we will briefly describe it. commercial firms, even though they may have large capital, are constantly compelled to pay by notes on time instead of cash. The accommodation given by banks is limited; and when they decline to make more advances on the notes of a firm, billbrokers are resorted to. These charge more or less discount on the bills, depending on the credit of the drawer and the length of time they may have to run before they mature. The bills of houses in first-rate standing (technically known as gilt-edged paper) will be discounted at the rate of 10 or 12 per cent. per annum, while on others not so well known or truated, the brokers charge a discount of 2 or 3 per cent. per month. It follows, therefore, that in times •of ordinary commercial prosperity, when bankruptcies are rare, these shavers make quite Et handsome profit by their operations. Huntington was engaged in this capital business. The profits of the trade, large as they must have been, did not satisfy him, or were insufficient to enable him to gratify his extravagant taste for fine houses, costly furni ture, splendid equipages, fast horses, and dashing women, so he resolved to try his hand on that branch of the profes sion which had conducted him to .a cell in the Tombs. He went to work systematically, and used, at first, a good deal of eaution'to evade detection. He was in the habit of going to the officer of a broker of high standing, and purchasing fr ma him notes of firms, sometimes to the amount of 00,000 dols or 80,00 ) dols in a week. For these he always paid in certified cheques. He W.V.: an easy, dashing looking fellow—said the hroker—had always a cigar in his mouth, and was perfectly cool and nonchalant in his manner, so that he might very well impose on one ; but there was something abqut hire that I could not understand. I could not com prehend why he, should come and buy our notes, as we did not divide the discount with hlm, and he could make nothing by them. Re afterwards found out the secret of it. Huntington would buy these notes, duplicate them, sell the notes again, and use the duplicates as collateral security in raising money. At first, however, he us-d only the genuine notes, and as they were always found to, he correct, he • gradually gained the confidence of those with whom be had dealiugs. When he had thus completely disarmed them of all suspicion, he began to use the duplicates or forged notes. Eta Ain was—he would go into a note broker's, say he wanted to , borrow 40,000 dollars for a month or so, for which he would giro his own note of hand and certain other bills of such and such dates and amounts as collateral security, and he world leave a memorandum of these bills. If the broker wanted to satisfy himself that all was right, be would send to the firm purporting to be the drawers, and inquire whether they had out the notes described. They would refer to the books, tied that they had such notes, and, consequently, the broker, not doubting that those offered by Huntington were the real ones, wmild advance the money asked upon them, With the money thus raised, Huntingtom would make speculations, or would take up other bills becoming due, or would u.7,e i t for his private purposes, and thus he volt on from week to week, and from month to month. Escaping so often undetected he began to relax in his exercise of caution. Instead of .buying up genuine notes and duplicating them, he would sometimes go into a broker's, ask to look at his paper, run his eyes over the emeamts, names, arid ,dates of, drawers, and would under take, from memory alone, to duplicate iitich as he `thought best fitted for his purpose, in this, however, be some times made a slip, f or we f i nd ' that Igr, Kane, a broker, with whom he had extensive dealings, detected bini On two or timm 9e9asions in offering notes which hi die- • t. covered to be forgeries. Why this gentleman did no , then band over the culprit into the hands of the law is a question which he will have some difficulty in answering to the satisfaction of the public. Another booker, holding a note wh . ch he suspected to,be a forgery, want to the firm purporting to issue it, and aithough itt was blt a clumsey imitation of the genuine note, the party, without looking at it, and by merely referring to the bill-book, declared it *to be all right. Is . it any wonder that with such a loose way of doing business frauds would be perpetrated . ? • The only wonder is that they are pot much more numerous. The manner in which Hustingten's operations were biought to light was no less curious than the operations themselves, and proved him, after all, to be rather careless and clumsy fora successful practitioner. Among a parcel of notes which he gave to Beldoa and Co., as collateral security, in the usual manner, was one of Messrs. Pnelps, I Dodge, and. Co.; for over 5,000 dols., which note was then on its face over due. The fact attracted atten'ion, and on inquiry being made it was pronounced a forgery. And eves then Huntingdon would not have been brought to justice, but would have been allowed to go on ad hortituna, were it not for the firmness and determination of,Mr. Didgo, arid 'his partner, Mr. Stokes. They sought out officer Bowyer. and obtained his advice and assistance in , the matter; and j 'although efforts were made to shield Huntington from the consequences of his acts, they proved futile. lle was arrested and held to bail in 20,000 dols. The very man on whom he attempt to pawn the caunterfeit ('sr. Belden) ; became his surety. Huntington had, previous to his arrest, ' procured 24,000 dole in gold, on his own certified - cheque, and Ibis sum he lodged in Beldeo's hands as security, to inducs him to become his bail. Bet next day other a:Hence of forgeries came in, and he was re arrested. Belden then procured the cancellation of his bad, and it is said retains the 24.000 dole. Another ourious feature in the transaction is, that although the total amount of forgeries already ascertained is 544,119 dole 49c, no person can be found to aoknosrledge that he has been victimised. It is the opinion of experienced brokers that none of the forged paper was put upon the market (in fact, it was clumsily imitated for that purpose). but that it is all in the hands of the banks, and brokers, with whom he did business. Ho probably, however, did not raise mire than 300,000 dollars on it. We understand that a cashier of one of the banks was in the habit of making Huntington advances out of the drawer on this p iper, receiving a largo discoun fir it, and was fortunate to escape loss, and that on hearing of Huntington's arresk, be went to the president of the bank, gave in his resignation, tole what he had boon doing, acknowledged that he had mule large profits thereby, and said that he thought it his duty to let them know how easily they might be cheated in this way. And now Huntington is in the Tombs. His trial will make work for the lawyers, and attract a good deal of public attention.- It will probably be a nica legal point whether the lodging these notes as collateral security is tattainount to uttering them. The penalty for each offence may be seven years in the State prison, and if convicted on all, he would require to live as long as old Parr to serve out his term. In the meantime he seems to be quite indifferent to his situation. When officer Bowyer informed him that he came to arrest him, he coolly walked to the mantlepiece, took up a match, lit the cigar which he had in his mouth, and walked out with the °fiber in apparent unconcern. His cell at the Tonilas is richly carpetted and furnished. His wife's carriage drives down daily, and her care provides him with sumptuous fare. He has his champagne and hie Havannahs, and don't seem to let the degradation of his position weigh upon his spirits. As an insteuCe of his extravagance, even now, it is said that after dining a day or two ago he sent up to Thompson's for fruit, and paid as high as five dollars for five pears. It will be asked what has become of the proceeds of these extensive forgeries ? We have given an inkling of the extravagance of this man, which sufficiently indicates his character in that respect, and we have net doubt that within the last two years he has been able to squander all the money that be had raised by the means we have described. lie owned two houses in Twenty-second street, costing, probably; some $25,000. There were furnished regardless gardless of expsnsea. In one of them he resided with big family; in the other, not a block distant, he maintained in grand style a lady of beauty and accomplisments, who was not his wedded wife. He was fond of Showy equipages and tine horses,, and outshone all competitors in that line. It w,ns usual to see his lady driving two in hand, and himself driving a similar team, side by side. He kept open house for all his friends, and gave them the use of his whole establishment, He rarely dined at home, but gene rally at some of the fashionable restaurairs, with some fashionable ladies. At the watering places his lady out shone all others in the splendour of her diamonds. It is said that on the very day of his arrest she bed Fret to his office, from Niagara .or t 4 aratoga, a box containing 30,000 dollars trth of jewellery. Her brother took it in charge and the odium have not since b ee n a b! e to get at i t. W e received the other day a oommunieation stating lila he had, recently bought, at Tiffany and Co.'s, a piece: ill* jewellery, price 1,800 dollars, for presentation to a lady. Mr. Tiffany, however, says that this and similar miler state manta are exaggerated. With such lavieh cxpewlitr.res A these extravagant tastes and habits imply, it need not be wondered what became of the proceeds of the forgeries. Huntington, like many other people in New York, 'was determined to live like a prince —no matte: who should eventually have to foot the bill. Even now, when the crash that wits to be expected bas come, and when he can reason ably look for no ether fate than that of a felon, he does not lose his recklessness, his indifference. Ho eats his Roo din ners and drinks his costly wines in his little cell in the Tombs, with apparently as much gusto as when 'he phyed the part of grand seigneur in Twenty-secondetreet ; anti even there the calamity that had befallen the honsehold floes not seem to press heavily upon him. There is the same " sound of revelry by night" as in times when he was flour ishing in Wall street. Rut the reaction cannot fail to came after the giddy excitement of such a life. It is sad to ,con template the end of such a brief career of dissipation. v Fhe wealth which his wife supposed, perhaps, to be inexhaustible. will not Save him from the degradation of a convietbe, life e A young man. of pleasing address and rood mann ers . h e might have lived a life of usefulness, and honestly become wealthy, as he desired ; but lie could not resist the temptation of getting rich in a hurry, and the end will be a, miserable existence in Sing Sing prison.
