COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

ALLEN O. KNIONT.—OO!4SEQUENCES OF MISDIRECTING
A PARCEL.—Mr. Crowder, Q C., moved for a rule to show
cause why the defendants' verdict in this case, which was
tried before Lord Denman at the sittings in London after
last terns, should not be set aside and •no c trial had. The
action had been brought to recover the value of certain types
and stereotypes which had been sent to the defendants, who
are typetianders in London, by the plaintiffs, printers in
Birmingham. The question at the trial had been whether
two parcel', containing the types, and addressed to the plain-
tiffs, had been delivered, purauant to the directions of the
plaintiffs, at the office of the London and Birmiagham Rail-
way Company, at the Swan and Two Necks in Lad lane.
The clerks at the office swore that no such parcels had ever
been delivered to them; the porter of the defendants, and a
boy also in their service, swore that they had delivered the
parcels so addressed at the particular offith. In the course
of the trial it transpired that the defendants had dealings
with a printer at Margate, named Allen. The attorney for
the plaintiffs, on the verdict going against his clients, con-
ceived that some mistake had been made between the two
customers of the same name, and instituted inquiries, which
resulted in the discovery that the two paresis had been ad-
dressed to Allen, of Margate, and returned to the office re-
fused. The learned counsel submitted, on an affidavit dis-
closing them facts, that he was entitled to the rule. The
mart greeted the application.
FILLITIR O. PRIPPARD.—DOES AN ACTION LIE FOR
DAMAGE DONE NT AN ACCIDENTAL FIRE ON OPEN LAND'?
Serjeant Kinglake moved for a rule to show mum why
therudgment in this case, in which a verdict pared for the
plaintiff at the recent asiaGe. for the county of Dorset, should
net he arrested. The declaration was in case, and set forth
that the defendant bad lighted a tire on a certain close belong-
ing to him, and that the wind carried portions of the
burning matter to a Gees of the phaiutem, whereby damage
had been done to property of the plaintiff. Ile submitted
that damage done by accidental fire in open land was pro •
tweed by the statute 14 Geo. 111., e. 78, just as damage done
to houses b accidental fire was protected by the statute
6 Anne, e. M. That being so, the declaration did not die-
dose say mend of action.—The court granted the rule.

an instance of the strength of public feeling on Ulla
question. Mr. Smith had a very fair prospect of
carrying the Dunfermline boroughs; the constituency
(wonderful liberality for Scotland!) had even resolved
not to ask whether he was unitarian. But the shuf-
fling of himself and his English colleagues on the
Sunday train question has entirely destroyed his
chance. t

SERVICIAL—This was an action to recover 171. 10e. for *m-
elees rendered to the defendant, who pleaded that he never
was iadebtad, but his lordship did not appear to support the
plea. The evident* adduced showed that the plaintiff be-
came groom and coachman to the defendant in May, 1846,
and that be continued as such until August, 1846, the stipu-
lated salary being 355. a week, but, during the parliamentary
recess, he was paid somewhat kss, as he had not then to at-
tend his lordship to the Howse of Lords, which atteadance
formed the chief portion (Whist duty during the session.—The
learned Under-sheriff summed up, and the jury found for

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, Aran. 15.
The free church synod of Glasgow asd Ayr has, on
the motion of 1)r. Buchanan, resolved, by a majority
of 60 to 16, to petition against the education scheme.
This synod is the largest provincial court of the body,
and as Dr. Candlish sat in it as a corresponding mem-
ber, and voted in the majority, there can be little
doubt that this decision will exercise a considerable
influence over, or at all events may
.be predicted as
indicating pretty correctly, the opinions of the ensu-
ing general assembly of the free church.
The free presbytery of Arbroath have without a
vote come to a similar resolution. A class of minis-
ters of the free church, amongst which is Mr. Guthrie
of Edinburgh, Mr. Lewis, of Dundee' &c., will still in
all likelihood continue in favour of the scheme ; but
there is every appearance now of their being in the
minority.. Notwithstanding this unlooked-for termi-
nation, It is all but certain that if the education grant
is agreed to in the House of Commons, the free church,
like the Ulster synod, will ultimately avail themselves
of its support.
The low rate of interest allowed in the national
security savings banks, is causing the depositors in
the Edinburgh institution to withdraw their money
wholesale. The city of Glasgow bank has established
a branch agency for receiving deposits of five shillings
and upwards, at a trifle above the current rate of
" umber.'

Tan Niw CHEAP DAILY Parza.—The advent of
the North British Mail, which took place on Wednesday
last, demands especial record se an important fact in the
history of the Scottish newspaper press. It is the first attempt
to establish a regular daily paper upon a plan net widely
different to that of the London journals, its acknowledged
prototype being the Daily Newt. The North British Mail
inseam to have a regular staff of reporters, besides correspon-
dent' in London and at the packet ports. It professes to re-
ceive mush of its intelligence from this capital "by ex-
pert" irb piss, in short, resources similar to those of a
preptely sproisted London paper. The price is, of course,
tifferpeme.

ADJOURNMENT.

On the motion of Mr. J. P , it was ordered that the
house at its rising adjourn to Monday nett.
NAVAL ARCHITECTURE.

Sir C. NAPlia enquTned7rOintve hove. gentleman the
to the Admiralty whether be had any objection to
iteotarge house of the date of the order said to have been
issued by the board tosuspend the construction of the 72-gun
ships, also whether that order had been obeyed, and whether
a subsequent order hod been sent down to resume the build-
ing of those ships ?
Mr. WARD replied, that an order to suspend the works
on the Aboukir, the Exmouth, and the Princess Royal, had
been issued on the 9th of December, 1844, end during the
veers 1845 and 1846 the works were suspended. In 1846,
the works on the Aboukir sod Exmouth were ordered to be
resumed, and those works progreseed until they were again
ordered to be suspended on the Roth of March, 1847.

iire.NAPIER.—Was the last order gireh by a minute
of the hoard, or not ?
Mr. WARD said that the works were included in the
Programme.
NAVAL ARCHITECTURE.

Mr. numg wished to know if the hon. gentleman the
Secretary to the Admiralty had any abjection to produce the
appointmrnta of the committee of Naval Architecture.
Mr. WARD said that he would be prepared to give an
answer to that question on Monday.
GOVERNMENT EDUCATION.

Mr. HINDLEY wished to ask the noble lord at the head
of the government when the report of the committee of
school inspectors appointed by the Privy Council would be
laid on the table of the house, and whether it would be de-
sirable to have it before they entered en the debate on the
miscellaneoas estimates, relating to that subject, and
whether they should delay that debate until such report
should be laid before them ? He also wished to ask whether
an inset estimate of the expense could be futniahed, and
whether it was correct as had been stated in the public
journals that the noble lord had intimated to some persona
who waited on hint, that the vote of this year would be
applied in strict conformity with the usual practice, end not
laid out according to the minutes of the Privy Council.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the reports were not yet
made, but an soon as they were they would be laid on the
table in the usual course. With respect to the second ques-
tion he did not think it necessary to wait ler them in order
to enable the house to decide whether they should vote the
money according to the proposal, of government or not.
With regard to the arm question, the note of money this year
if granted will be laid out according to the formes rules, and
according to the minutes of August and December, 18.41 i. He
did not know what authority the, lion. gentleman bad for the

The government of Belgium lately ordered inquiries
to be made, through the agricultural committees of the

crops of the year. Reports had been always received
by the Ministers of the Interior from Brabant,
Western Flanders, Hainault, and Liege. They are
unamioualy of accord that the lands sowed with wheat
and rye are in the most favourable and promising
condition. The delay caused by the prolongation of
the winter ought, it is observed, to exercise
a happy iudaenos upon the next harvest. From all
the observations made, the most experienced farmers
are of opinion that the crop of this year would be
abundant

Advioes from Stockholm, of April 3, mention that
frequent and violent shocks of earthquake had oc-
curred, and were flit an numerous points of East
and West Gothland, especially in the districts of
Wadatena, Exists, Almby, Eskau, and in the town of
Orebro.

From Bergen (Norway), on the 27th pf Much, it is
stated that, on the Wednesday preceding, a series of
violent shocks of earthquake had taken place, accom-
panied with a heavy prolonged rumbling noise. These
shocks, which continued altogether about twenty
minutes, were in the direction from south-west
to north-east. At the same time there appeared
several extremely brilliant aurorre boreales, reflecting
colours of admirable beauty. The waters of the little
ricer Alven were strongly agitated, and three boats
sailing on them at the moment were capsized. The
eleven persons in them were thrown into the water,
and three of them, two men and one woman, were
drowned.

to reside la this seaultry, where he was not sovereign in fact,
it was meant that he had thereby rendered himself liable to
be seed, the replication was bad for alleging sentiments-
tively that liability. If the other side contended that the
fact of a defendant being a sovereign prince made no differ-
once in the liability, the , asee of "the Duke of Brunswick e.

swigs wee also a peer of this realm, WI, an answer.
The also was defective for dot showing that the
deed emit km been sued on in Brunswick. Mr. Bevil!,
he the ple:ntlff, insisted that, as the defendant, by his plea,
did not deny that he would have been liable upon the con-
tract even in Brunswick itself, nor assert that the contract
was made by him in his character of sovereign prince. it
mast be taken that it sou made by him as a private indivi-
dual, and that he might have been sue/ on it where it was
made. If so, he night 1.,1 sued on it in this country in his
character of a private in lividual, which the plea described
him to be. Mr. Lush re flied, and the court took time to
consider its judgment.

by persons who had been put on by the direction of the
defendant, end only a mile and a half remained to be sur-
veyed, which the defendant's eeeistant, who was in charge,
allowed them to do, end it was for payment for this that the
action was brought.—lt was contended for the defence, that
',we the plaintiff's ease did not rest on the old contract,
which it wee not pretended was fulfi,leal, but on a new one
with the defendant's assistant, which he had no right to
make, the plaintiff having been positively forbidden to do
any portion of the work, in consequence of his having failed

DEATH IN AN OMNIBUIL—This morning, aboat
half-peat ten o'clock, a moot lamentable initince of the un-
I certainty of human lite occurred at the lower end of Oxford-
street, near Hyde Park, in one of the Wellington omni-
rbtrosea, which wan proceeding from Bayswater towel* the
Bank, to Samuel Alleu, Esq., an elderly gentleman of for-
tune, residing at Weatbonme-grove, Bayswater, who, it
' appears, had entered the vehicle at the Black Lion Inn,
apparently in perfect health, but as soon as the omnibus bad
pawed Ilyde-park-corner, the painengen were alarmed by
seeing the deceased gasping for breath, being seized with a
fit. The coachmen drove up to the nearest su•geon's, but,
ere they had travelled many paces, the deceased ex-
pired. The corpse of the unfortunate gentleman was then
conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where Mr. Conf., the
apothecary to the institution, opened a vein in the neck, in
the hope of restoring animation, but all efforts were inef-
fectual.

able horses and 12 pigs, were destroyed. The swirs and
premises were reported to be a lam of from 3,0001. to 4,0001.,

SWITZERLAND.— LUCERNE, Jun 14. —The
committee of the grand council of this canton, charged with
the instructions to be given to the deputies who are to be
sent to the Diet, propose that they shall be ordered to declare
to the Diet that the state of Lucerne refuses to admit any
intervention voted by a majority of the 12 cantons, in the
questions of the separate league and Jesuits, and that it will
oppose by force any attempt of the federal government to
carry- such intervention into effect.
GERMANY. PRUSSIA.— BERLIN, JUNE 18.—
, The Allgemeine ProussiscAe Zeitung of this day has alio-
titer pathetic remonstrance against the practice, in which
some German journals persist, et reporting the proceedings
of the Diet earlier than it does itself. The law of the eon-
' federation which prohibits such anticipations is appealed to.
An extract from the Mannheim Journal, consisting of an
incorrect report of the minister of justice's awkward admis-
sion about the bank-notes, is given to show the danger of the
practice. " What sort of a history of German Diets are we
likely to have," exclaims the Prussian journal, " if legal pro-
secutions are not adopters to preclude abuses of thislindr
The Diets and official journals can prevent the evil without
the assistance of any law—by expediting correct reports. It
is impossib'e for any private individual to spread an erro-
neous account of any speech in the British parliament more
rapidly than the London journals disseminate the true one.
If our Prussian government will employ a aufficientreport-
ing staff, or allow some enterprising private individual to
do it for them on his own account, we will defy any false!.
port to get the start of the true. The English free reporting
it

tations.

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.

We learn by electric telegraph from Southampton
the arrival of the Pacha steamer. She left Lisbon on
the 9th. The Queen had signed the protocol of the
three powers; bat the people were discontented at
the delay which had taken place. Discount still at
25 and 27 per cent. Oporto had been dismantled.
Conspiracies were rife ; commerce and business dull.

Advice; from New Zealand to 20th of March state
that the land question between the natives and the
governor had been adjusted, at an interview held
between his excellency and several of the chiefs. The
amount of compensation to be received by the natives
is 5,0001. ; namely, 2,000/. for the disputed lands at
Porirua, and 3,0001. for the Wairau. The money was
to be paid in five instalments, viz., 1,600/. this year,
two payments of 1,1001. in the next two years, and
the remainder in the two following years, the last
instalment to be paid in the year 1851. By the
concession just made, the government obtains all the
land from Wairan to the farms comprised in the New
Zealand Company's limits. On the Middle Island,
also, considerable quantities of land have been given
up. The natives daring the discussion evinced great
anxiety about the release of Ranparaha, but the
goverment declined giving him up.

CHAD ELI. C. BAHERI--TILE MOST APPROVED METHOD
or roar/au:so Cith.—This was an action brought by a
licensed victualler for goods sold and delivered to the de-
fendant, who admitted the plaintiff's claim, but pleaded a
est-off. On being sworn, the defendantatated that he claimed
remuneration to the amount of 21., the mum agreed upon
with the plaintiff for teaching him oft his eftesciog Iftainies
as a publican the most approved method of preparing gin
for the use of the public.—ln answer to the learned judge.
the ikfendant gave the following recipe es his method of
improving gin:—To 40 gallons of gin add 1 tea-spoonful of
ea of s itriol, 1 spoonful of oil of ahnonds, 1 gill of spirits of
wine. 1 ounce of angelica root, 1 ounce of wash alum, 1
evince of salts of t irtar, 2 ounces each of Chili gin and whole
ginger.—The plaintiff, although he admitted having received
the instruction in this branch of chemistry, declared
oft oath thst he had never tested its efficacy in practice.—The
learned judge, in disallowing the set-off, said that although he
did not believe the practice of " improving" or adulterating
the gin in the manner stated, to be at all general, or proved
to have been used in the present cue, he could not help
noticing the case in the hope that the gin.drinking portion
of the community might turn the information to account.—
An award was then made in favour of the plaintiff.

WAYS AND MEANS.

Mr. GREENE brought up the report of the committee of
Ways and Means which oat on Monday last, and leave was
given to bring in a bill founded thereupon.
LABOURING POOR (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. LABOUCHERE haying moved the third reading of
this bill,
Mr. 8. O'BRIEN took the opportunity of saying that he
had heard from some districts that gross jobbing was going
on upon the public works, and that early neat week be
should ask her Majesty's government whether it was true
that there were large districts in Ireland in whicn the rate
of wages paid for labour on public works did not exceed Bd.
a dayl
Mr. LABOUCHERE had every reason to believe that
the allegations against the managers and superintendents of
public works is Ireland were altogether unfounded. The
total expenses of management and supervision did not exceed
10 per cent. on the outlay, including the purchase of imple-
ments. . .

Mr. SHAW agreed that much unjust imputation had been
thrown upon the managers of public works in Ireland. The
right hon. gentleman urged upon the government to provide
against the sudden diem asal of too many perm.. at a time
from employinf at on these works.
Si, O. GREY said thee instructions had already been sent
over to Ireland to exercise a due caution on th,. point.
In answer to a question from Mr. 8. Cita wrono,
Mr. LABOUCUERE said that for the must part the la-
bourers employed might, by the system of tail:-work acted
upon, earn Is. 2d. a day, if they pleased.
The bill was then read a third time and passed.

REPRESENTATION or LEIeaSTZP.—A serioua difference
exists between a section of the Liberals and the rasjority of
the party in Leicester. Dissatisfaction has existed for some
time on the part of the electors with their representatives—
, Sir John Easthope and Mr. Wynn Ellis ; and the electors
in the Reform interest met, and appointed delegates with
full power to act according to circumstances. On the 11th.
instant a meeting of the committee of &legates was held
at the Exchange, when they resolved unanimously :
First—That in the opinion of this committee a Wing and decided
feeling exists amongst the electors, generally in favour of • change of
representatives, and a change In the sydrua of conducting elections.
That thiscommittee Is deeply f,. bore with the same feeling, and be-
lieves ouch a clone to be neccwary for the ennlial union of the great
majority of the sectors and the security. of the Liberal intermit.—
Seoond—That a copy of the abuse resolution be Wrwarded by the
chairman to the present members for the borough, Sir John East-
hope, Bart„ M.P., and Wynn Ellis, Eaq.,
Acting upon the spirit as well SA the letter of their in-
structions, the delegates invited Sir Jushut Walmeley who
contested the borough of Liverpool in 1811, to offer himself
as one of the candidates at the next election. The invite-
. tioa has been accepted, aid a heated controversy is now
carried on in the Leicester Chronicle, by the section alluded
to, which consists of four or five influential parties who are
