LONDON, MONDAY, FEB. 15.
Ws are likely to have much more ample leisure to
discuns principles and plans of education than might
have been hoped some months back. The minds of men
were somehow or another made up to expect • large
and national scheme of public instruction, apparently
without calculating that the mere proposal, much
less the mooessfal carrying of such scheme, required
a superabundance of power, as well as of pecuniary
resources to support it, such as no government in
our day is likely to enjoy.
These overweening -hopes of the immediate birth of
an education scheme arose from a satisfactory reason,
the circumstance that a large and altogether new
section of the public had turned its attention to, and
of course kindled ita enthusiasm in, the cause. These
votaries were young and new, and, therefore, full of
hope, not having yet experienced the blight and dis-
appointment already fallen on their predecessors. It
is now some ten or twelve years since our education-
iota came forward, eager, and not only sanguine, but
certain of consummating their great plan des-
pite of the prejudices of churchmen, high and
low. The reform of the representation, and the sub-
jugation of the House of Lords on that one
great point, induced Liberals to hope that
the blow might be followed up, and further con-
quests achieved. The great victory of that day, how-
ever, turned out to be like the victory of an army of
irregular troops and nomadic tribes, which after a
triumph are sure to disperse, and break up, each sol-
dier hurrying to his home with his share of booty,
and leaving the chiefs alone to honour and guard the
forsaken standard. From that day the great banner
of liberalimm and progress has been more upheld and
followed by volunteers flocking to it from hostile
ranks, than by the number, constancy, or unanimity
of those who Int raised it. Liberal doctrines
home policy, foreign policy, trade, jurisprudence,
have been mote advanced by the softening and modi-
fication at opponents' prejudices and hostility, than
by the force and power of their own original majority.
Let the fits of all the grad questions of the day be
examined ; how universally they have been advanced,
linot canted, by newiconverts, and not merely by the
seal and talent of individual converts, but by the
entire mind and feeling of the hitherto anti-liberal
having, in thee. respects, undergone a notable
• • and change for the better.
It was impossible for the great phenomena of
these effects not to have attracted the attention of
Liberal leaders. It was impossible for them not to
reflect how much they had won, how much they were
daily winning, from the coming over of their old an-
tagonists, from the gradual disappearance of preju-
dice, the softening of rancour, the enlightenment of
reason, and this, too, in material interests. To try to
follow the same path in pursuit of the extension and
improvement of education, has evidently been of late
years the policy of those charged with the administra-
tive superintendence and advancement of education.
There existed one great and powerful body in the
country, a portion of whose interests and duties
centred in education. Those interests and duties this
body had certainly allowed to sleep, till roused to
the necessity of exerting them by the efforts of reli-
gious rivet. But the Church of England has put
forth both. The influence of that body throughout the
conatry, its connexion with the magnates of the land,
and its power over the labouring class in radio dis• -
Iricts, point it out as an obstacle sot to be overcome
by open hostility ; and, at the same time, as an in-
ert If equal power in furthering the great aim
of the enlightened men of the day,—a good secular,
in oonjunction with a religious, system of national
instroction.
Hence, to conciliate the church, and not brave it,
to have it uan ally, not an opponent, has certainly
been the aim of the council of education. But this
has not been done with the view of giving into the
prejudices, favouring the exclusiveness, and lending
support to views of proselytism, entertained by the
church. On the contrary, to mitigate the retention
and strictness of these narrow views in the church
and its chiefs, has been the constant aim, and one not
pursued without considerable and matibfactory anocan.
Now, the question is, whether it is better to pursue
this policy, or at once break with the church, by pro-
posing a system of national education altogether inde-
pendent of ecclesiastical control. In the first place,
each an attempt could have no chance of bei•mpurzi
into law by the higher branch of the leg

And its result would not only be to suspend the pro-
gress of education, such as it is, but to destroy u it is
that portion of secular instruction and secular inspec-
tion, introduced even into the schools of the esta-
blished church, as the price of government aid.
A journal which represents the scruples of the die-
' Renters on this subject, sod expounds them with force
and talent, deprecates the few proposals made by
Lord LANSDOWNE, as strengthening • system which is
posed to, and must for ever preclude, a truly na-
tional and impartial system of education. We mud
own that, so far from seeing anything of the kind, we
descry the direct contrary in Lord LANSDOWNE'S
statement. In the progress of educational system
there marked,we see government control gaining on the
church, not church control upon the government. We
see secular education intermingling in a larger propor-
tion with relieous. And we see, above all things,
the class of Bandmasters raised into a profession--a
profession not dependent on the ckurch,but bound, by
its training, salary, and prospects, to the state.
The great obj ection of the representatives of the British
and Foreign Society to the plan of the Council of
Education, is, that the inspectors are under the control
of the prelates, and consequently hostile to the Society
in their reports. But, after all, the true race between
the National School and the British School inefficiency
of education. And if, for our parts, we were desirous
of rendering one of these claws of schools inferior to
the other, we would indulge that class, which we
wanted to depress, with an indulgent inspector;
whilst the schools that we were desirous to push to
perfection, we should insist on visiting with repeated,
and searching, and unswerving scrutiny.
This advantage, however, will not be given to either
sect It is impossible, with the vigilance and the
publicity which prevail, for any such unfairness to
be practised. As to oomplete unanimity in teaching,
' we do not know that Englishmen ought to desire it.
The very existence of popular education amongst us
is due to the rivalry of the two religious parties
which took it up and disputed it. And we must
own that the extension of National Schools, under
episcopal superintendence, would be viewed with
se fear by us, were it not for the counteracting and
eespeting principles of more independent schools.

THE operation of the great organic change on
which FERDP.RICH WILLIAM IV. has stamped his
=me, will probably be sooner felt in a practical shape
than theoretically comprehended in all its bearings.
Some will quarrel with the measure of liberty
granted to the aew Prussian parliament, and sneer at
the prospect of its being only convoked in order to
dames money bills. The practical statesman is,
however, aware, that while all questions can be
brought under discussion as standing in some con-
nexion with money bills, there ie no way of rousing
public attention for many weighty subjects half so
effectual lathe showing how they affect the pocket. The
first result which we anticipate (we suppose in common
with the framers of the measure), is the imparting vigour
to the state credit. From the following statement of
the financial position of Prussia, which we extract
hem official documents, it must appear strange that
the credit of the government should require invigora-
tion from below, if we may be allowed the term.
In the report to the King cm the state of the public
debt, in Deoember, 1842, the highest figure the debt
ever reached, is stated to have been 208,733,170 doll. ;
or, in round numbers, about 30 millions sterling. This
debt had been reduced by the operation of a well-
managed sinking fund to 150,103,434 dollars, orlittle
more than twenty millions sterling, by the year 1843.
The reports of the commissioners are made only once
in ten years, consequently no official notice of what
has been redeemed since 1843 has been given. It must
be premised that the above sum includes the=
currency of Prussia, amounting to 25,742,347 a
which state debentures to the vales cl
I dollars are deposited as a reserve in the
enshigner.
R would not be easy to produce a more eatidactory
bthisial statement, to all appearance, than the above.
Ora rd of an enormous debt has actually been
Wtheseesti within twenty-five years. This period
included, moreover, two armaments against expected
attacks from France, on a scale that was perfectly
suited to the emergencies, and w ell calculated to deter
aggression. We allude, especially, to the year 1840.
In 1842, the government was strong enough to pro-
pose a conversion of the whole debt bearing interest
at 4 to 3i per cent. All this has, moreover, been
effected without any other increase of taxation than
that of the import duties, which was demanded by
the manufacturers, and which is known until list
year to have diminished the revenue from customs'
dues.
A view of the recent financial crisis at Berlin and its
probable causes, may throw some light upon the causes
and effects of the constitution now granted. As
long as the repayment affected chiefly foreign (English)
loans, the market was improved by the reduction
made. The state credit was supported, and no diffi-
why was created. But when the debentures held in
the eountiy or even at Amsterdam, Hamburg, Frank-
lin, or Vienna, were called in, it amounted to a posi-
tive diminution of the circulating medium. Remit-
tances were made, and debts of large amount are
esestedr paid with the debentures-7ot states, whose
meat is geed. The debenture, with its coupon,
answered ite purpose of a receipt for a deposit
at interest. Ina in transactions between private indi-
viduals hesloweg• is saved, as the debentures
are made oat "to bearer," and no book transfer
is required. The operation of this curtail-
ment of the circulating medium became sen-
sible at the period of the great railroad speculation
of 1845, and the payment of calls in that year became
difficult. A plan was suggested by the minister
ROTHAJ, based upon the probability that the exigen-
cies of trade would absorb a sum proportioned to that
withdrawn from circulation, which, but for two cir-
cumstances, might have been sucoeesful. The minister
overlooked the great cause of the favour in which
Prussian paper stood in the market, viz., the excel-
lent management of the public debt by the responsi-
ble commissioners appointed as national trustees
by the late king. These men were of too high
sluing to be tampered with, and refused to
sandkm anyproject but a direct loan to be imb-
edded. to the late king's promise, to
the netional representatives assembled in parlia-

'Tethreatening attitude assumsd by the three northern

It weaabut usual that they should seek to repress
Nish nationality. Bat the attitude assumed, and
thaprincildes acted upon by the Pope, by the King

tigers with the preparations of Austria to crush
thwi, occasioned great anxiety and uneasiness.
Bops were long founded on the moderation of
France; but preparations were made privately
for a war; and these preparations consist chiefly
in boarding bullion. D all 1848, Dutch and
Belgian gold has been at a uring
high premium even in
private circulation. The new notes were especially
looked upon with doubt and suspicion.
While men's minds were in this state came the
double blow of the Mouter marriage and the
seizure of Cracow. How Pr usia was forced to yield
consent to the latter, is a secret that will probably
ere long be disclosed. At all events, the consumma-
te& of that joint act placed the King of PRUSSIA in a
position, with respect to popular opinion in his own
dominions and in Germsay, so false and daugemus,
especially if any spark should kindle war, that his
Majesty judged it advisable at once to right his bark,
politically and financially, by flinging himself to the
other side. And hence the promulgation of the con-
stitution.

compromising the character of a dean; and in either
case the matter has been discussed in a spirit favour-
able to the church generally, and with a view only to.
the extension of the establishment's usefulness.
The former ear refers to the county palatine of
Durham, and the facts are briefly these. Bina* the
introduction of railways worked by locomotive engines
into that county, the number of coal mines in it his
very largely increased; and as a large proportion of
the property in that county belongs to the bishop of
the diocese, to the dean and chapter, and to the
church in its parochial capacity, this extension has
proportionally augmented their revenues. To such an
extent has this augmentation gone, that it stands ad-
rind by the bishop that (notwithstanding the
statute which aimed at reducing, and which was
generally supposed to have succeeded in reducing, his

his predecessors) he has in one year received more
than double the amount that ever fell to their fortu-
nate lot, and that his usual income ready exam
the average amount of what was formerly tide
So, in like proportion, has the revenue of the
clergy, under whose glebes coal is to fed
and is worked, increased. Now coal is not, it will be
observed, exhaustless : the mine that yields enormous
sums to-day is probably in ten or twenty chaereititines
comparatively worthless; and for the • and
clergy of Durham to treat its temporary as
yearly income, and to appropriate to themselves the
capital of the church that lies embowelled in the
earth, is for them to misappropriate the property
entrusted to their charge. On the Name principle as
they are now acting they would, morally, be as jaidi-
liable in denuding the surface of the church pro-
perty of the soil for their own benefit, and
leaving it unproductive to their successors. They
are, in point of fact, though not perhaps of law,
alienating to their own nee the property they eidey
as tenants for life only ; and this misappropriation
occurring in a county in which spiritual destitution is
pre-eminent ; for, in spite of the large proportion of
its property belonging to the church, the mining
population is practically and substantially bereft of
spiritual nurture by the church. The miners are
very much in the hands of a class of Methodists
called Ranters, who join the advocacy of the charter
to the instruction, such as it is, of the goepeL This
state of things is so monstrous, that, it Might be sup-
posed, it needs only to be stated to be rectified ; but
the fact is otherwise. It has repeatedly been brought
under the notice of government by the Ltrarost
family, yet the alienation is annually proceeding; end
unless parliament quickly interfere, the church will he
altogether deprived of a large part of its property by
its unnatural children—by icti:iitiecan daughters."
The remedy is obvious ' • the greater pro-
portion of the funds arising m this new source alt
wealth, and apply the interest of the capital so funded
to church extension in the diocese of Durham.
The other case of abase arises in Manchester. The
dean and chapter of that town divide nearly 6,0001.
a-year amongst them, whilst the parochial duties of
the town are assigned to a set of district clergy by no
means well paid ; and the dean and chapter have the
modesty to think, that they are morally justified in
doing as much or as little as they plum foe the
spiritual benefit of the metropolis of cotton. Pry
claim the right of non-residence, whenever they perm
and for as long • period as they please, on paymentof
Is. 4d. a day to the poor during their absence; they
claim the right of accepting onerous duties in ether
parts of the kingdom, and of permanently raiding
there ; and the rights they claim they also
exercise. And when the shurchwardens object to
this "doing as they choose with their own," the Dean
quotes musty old charters, and talks of libels and
calumnies, and sends two canons off to Landon to
listen to Lord STANLEY'S well-founded but disagree-
able comments in the House of Lords. We really
had expected something better from a person of Mr.
HERBERT'S accomplishments, learning, and high cha-
racter. At a time when ministers and the episcopate
are plaguing their heads bow to give Manchester the
advantage of a bishop, her torturing his brains forargu-
ments to deprive it of the benefits of a dean and chapter.
But the days when mush quibbles and subtleties could
prevail against common sense and the common interest
are past; and tie owner Mr. HERBERT yields to the
necessities of his position, the sooner will he re-
,blish his graceful reputation in public opiniou.

Various reports continued to circulate on Friday in
Paris respecting the probable ministerial changes.
We cannot offer a better or more comprebenave view
of these than the following, from the Slick of that
Some expedient is now sought for seriously to escape
from the embarrassments in which they east themselves with
such inconceivable folly. An appeal has been made to the
devotion of M. Guisot. To cast himself into the gulf to
save the entente mediate, is it not a crowning sacrifice
worthy of a life devoted to the worship of that idol ? A letter
from an illustrious member of ;thei house of Coburg has in-
dicated, it is said, the expediency of such a sacrifice. But
the seal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs goes only as far
as the funeral pile. Re has not thought fit to understand
this diplomatic insinuation; he intrenehes himself behind

The report of the intention of Lord Normanby to
leave for Loudon was confirmed in La Pattie of
Thursday evening, and repeated in the journals of
Friday morning.
L' Union Monarchique, a new legitimist journal,
formed by the coalition of La &anoe, La Quoti-
dienne, and: L'Eche Francais, says that it is autho-
rised to state, that the answer of the Berlin cabinet to
Lord Palmesston's note respecting the marriages has
not been yet officially transmitted, though its tenor
is known, and that it will be not the answer of the
P rumba cabinet alone, but a collective note of the
three northern cabinets. The same journal adds that
it is authorised to may, that the answer will refer

PARIS, FRIDAY, 5 o'CLocn.—The Bonne has
been more steady to-day, prices of yesterday being
sustained. We have learned in quarters entitled to
credit that Lord Normanby has been authorised to
.spend for the present all personal relations with M.
Oamot, but that he has not yet received the cove
for which he applied. Be awaits the arrival of a
courier expected on Sunday with the reply of Lord
Palmerston to his note.

A telegraphic despatch was received at Paris on
Thursday evening from Madrid to the effect that the
Infant Don Enrique had been ordered peremptorily
to quit the kingdom, and had infect departed for Bar-
celona, where he was to embark. It was said also
that an English agent named ?dishy bad been oon-
ducted to the frontier by the police.
At the close of the sitting of the Chamber of Dept-
ties, on the sth, M. Cortina complained with some
warmth that the documents laid before the Chamber
relative to the marriage of the Duchess of Montpell-
ier, were not an official production seek es he had
demanded; he wished for something more ceepieee.
M. Roca de Togores, the new Minister of Public In-
struction, declared that the new cabinet would give
an ample nation when the Minister of Foreign Min
should be present.
The two vice-preaidents of the chamber had not yet
been elected.
There were two reports current at Madrid, on this
6th : one was, that the Queen, by the advice of her
council of ministers, had refused the consent de-
manded by Don Enrique to his marriage with the
sister of Count Casten ; the other was, that an
army of observation was to be formed on the Portu-
guese frontier.

address was voted in the Chamber of Deputies, on Friday,
by:a large majority, as follows .—Number of voters, 332;

THE NETHERLANDS.—AMSTERDAM, FEB. 10.
—At a meeting of landowners in the province of Utrecht,
an address was lately agreed up= to be presented to his Ma-
jesty, petitioning for the abolition of the corn law. After
stating their reasons at great length, they add " For those
reasons, the undersigned take the liberty respectfully to re-
quest his Majesty that he will be pleased to withdraw the
law of the 29th Dec., 1835, and totally to abolish the diffe-
rential duties enacted by it."

Another meotiog of Peers and members of the

before the soemben of the Irish party a scheme for sup-
pler.. the fao,ii to carry out Lord George Bentinck's mea-
sure, 1u ease it should receive the sanction of the legislature.
Mr. Spottiswoode twoitted that the money for making the
railirays might be e.sily provided by meaus of Exche-
quer not, of 11. each, h,,aring no interest, and receivable in
taxes and other governmeot payments, without cost to the
Exchequer, and without disarranging the national fineness ;
but on the contrary, the circulation of such Exchequer
notes, by providing the wages of labour, would inmost* the
consumption of excisable articles, and thereby improve the
national revenue. This and other suggestions made by Mr.
Spottiswoode ware canvassed, but no formal resolution upon
their merits was adopted.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.
THE STATE OP IRELAND.—On Saturday a meeting
of the Marylebone vestry took place at the Court-house,
Marylehamo. The Bev. Dr. Spry, the rector, in the chair.
Mr. Gear Daniell rose to move that the proposition of
Lord George Bentinek to expend sixteen millions of money
in Ike eunetenction of railways in Ireland is unjust in prin-
ciple, impolitic, and detrimental to the empire at large, and
UMW. vestry cordially approve the course the government
have adopted in giving their determined opposition to this
1 most nefarious measure.—Mr. David Salomon. seconded
the resolution. He was prepared to my, that the scheme
for taking sixteen millions of money for the manufacture of
Irish railways, was a scheme for the benefit of Irish land-
lords, and nothing else. The only remedy, in his opinion,
was to compel the landlords of Ireland to do their duty—
(Cheers)—and he oonaidered it was the bounden duty of
every constituency in the kingdom to meet and support the
government in their measure of giving • poorlaw to Ire-
-4nd.--Bir Benjamin Hall said he understood, from the best
information in the city, that such a scheme as Lori George
Benstinek's was treated se moonshine-,-(Laughter)—end he
thought he would find it all moonshine In the
House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) For his own ,artl
be would give it his most determined opposition.
The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried
unanimously, amidst loud cheering. Mr. Joseph then
moved that a petition founded on the resolution be forth-
with prepared, and be placed in the hands of Sir Benjamin
Hall, en Monday, for presentation to the House of Commons
on Monday evening. The resolution was seconded, and also
carried sons. eon.
TEE RZWINT'S CANAL RAILWAT.—The chairman re-
ported that the deputation from the vestry had accompanied
the borough members to the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests, in opposition to the Regent's Canal Railway, and that
the commissioners informed them that they had taken the
opinion of the law officers of the Crown, as to their liability
to the Crown tenants, and that they would consider the
whole matter as soon as they obtained that opinion. The
report. on the motion of Mr. Daniell having been entered on
the minute. the vestry separated.

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, FEB. 12.
A blank has been created in the Edinburgh literary
circles by the death of Mr. Macvey Napier, editor of
the BdnAtirgh Review, which took place yesterday
owning Mr. Napier passed as a writer to the
*net 1799—in 1825 was appointed Professor of
conveyancing in the University of Edinburgh, being
the first occupant of that chair of the law faculty. In
1837, he was made one of the principal, clerks in the
Court of Session. His literary career prominently
commenced in . 1829, when Mr., now Lord
Jeffrey, being appointed Dean of the Faculty
of Advocates, retired frqm the editorship of
the Edinburgh Perini, which was then assumed
by Mr. Napier. Afterwards he undertook the super-
intendence of the seventh and last edition of the
Bneyclopedia Britannica. He was also the author
of some treatises on Scotch law ; but his knowledge
of a kind peculiarly general, he found such
e occupation in criticism, and in the conducting
of the two greatest periodical and aerial works of the
Lay, as prevented bum from devoting his attention to
any special production of his own. For some time
peat Mr. Napier's health was in a declining state,
and, except in lecturing to his students, his last public
EC was as a witness in the recent case of
=7lnStewart's son against the pabliahera of the
Encyclprdia Britannica. His age was about seventy.
The Fifishire Journal contains a series ef interest-

AN OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPT AT MURDIip happily of
exceeding rarity in this county, was committed on the road
between Ulverstone and Dalton, on the person of a man
named Thomas, in the employ of Messrs. Dads, iron masters.
It appears that as he was returning from Ulverstone to Dal-
ton, at a lonely situation about a mile and a half from the
latter place, a bullet was fired from the roadside at him,
which passed through his hat, about an inch and a half from
the crown, fortunately without doing him any injury. lie
could distinctly make out two persons at the roadside, one of
whom fired the bullet from a pistol, and immediately rushed
out upon him ; but he met the ruffian with a blow from a
stout stick, which laid him on the ground. Ms companion
made off to a short distance, and Thomas begsh belabouring
and kicking his prostrate foe. The thief screamed lustiq
for the assistance of his confederate, who it seems plucked up
courage and came to the rescue. Thomas, seeing the odds
would be against him, took to.his heels and reached Dalton
in safety. 'The police are using every endeavour to capture
the highwaymen. It is conjectured this attempt at umasi.

three or four of whom it was known were collecting their
accounts, preparatory to pay for barley at Candlemas, and

Norman, the keeper of the Broadwas-gate, for taking toll
feria him on the previous Sunday, as he was preceedlng to
perform his duty at Cotheridu, of which parish he aerate.
The magistrates permitted -Mr. White, the lessee of the
gates, to answer for Norman, the real defendant in this
case. Mr. White said he should admit all the facts;
the question was simply one of law. By the 32nd sect.
of the 126th chap. of the 3rd Geo. IV., a clergyman is de-
clared to be exempt from the payment of any toll on
any turnpike-road when he was going to perform parochial
duty within his parish; the only question was, whether the
words " within lus parish" applied to the clergyman's duties
or to the turnpike-roads, as Mr. White contended that the
clause only exempted the complainant from payment atoll
on any road " within his parish." A large majority of the
magistrates declared in favour of the exemption, and fiord
the defendant in the nominal sum of le. and wets Mr.
White (says the Worcester Herald) did not seem satisfied.
He knew a good deal about the law ; he had always been
right in other cases—this was a wrong decision, and he inti-
mated his intention of refusing to pay the fine, and the bench
might levy it by distress if they pleased ; in that cue, he
should carry the matter to the Court of Queen's Bench. The
fine, however, was subsequently paid.

with the recent resolution of government to discontinue the
convict tranaportation system to our Australasian colonies,
and to substitute seclusion in gaols at home for the former
mode of dealing with felons. " We( Worcester Herald)learn
that Mr. Perry's opinion is, that the city gaol is imperfect
for the purposes of such a classification of prisoners as will be
required under the new system; that he further objects to
its locality as being unhealthy, and, in all probability, will
report to the Secretary of State that a new gaol is impera-
tively required. It is stated that a new gaol of due dimen-
sions, and proposed classification structure, will cost only
10,0001., that the materials and site of the present prison
will fetch 3,0001., and, consequently, that the total cost to
the city will only be 7,0001. The present gaol, when it was
built, twenty-three years ago, cost from 14,0001. to 15,0001."
SUSPICTSD MUADRiI TEN YEARS AOO.—A few days lass
a labouring man, while digging in a ditch In a field at Ifnm-
Metal, in the occupation of Mr. Crump, and adjoining the
Winchoomb-road, about a mile and a half from Sedgeberrow,
found the skeleton of a male person ; the leg-bones were
crossed, and the skull was much lower in the soil than the
other parts of the remains ; there were fragments of
too, amongst the soil, clearly indicating that the
was interred with his clothes on. The skeleton was entire,
with the exception of the skull, which was in
several pieces; but it is doubtful whether this was
the result of the injuries by which the death of
the individual was occasioned, or was produced by
the spade in the act of exhumation. The discovery has
excited great interest in the neighbourhood, more especially
from its recalling to mind the following circemstances,
which took place there as far beck as 183 ti. In the month
of August, in that year, a waggoner, in the service of Mr.
Osborne, then of Sedgeberrow, hat now of Motley Cutts,
when on his way to his work, was surprised to hear a horse
neighing in a coppice, distant about a mile from where the
remains were dug up, and on entering it he found a home
tied to a tree by the bridle, and with a saddle on its heat
the hone was much exhausted, leading to the conjestaire
that it bad been left in that position for several days.
Advertisements were then inserted for the owner to
tepper, but no one did, and the hone was sub-
sequently sold for 121. in Bentham market. It was
then said and believed that the owner of the bone was a
settle-dealer on his way to Tewkesbury, and that he was
robbed and murdered after he left Sedgeberrow Inn, two
pongee having elated that they had seen a man at the in*
via a horse, which they believed to be the same, in bit
. Suspicion then pointed to two individual se
leaving been
been the perpetrators of the crime, which suspicion
has been, iu a measure, kept alive and strengthened, from
OM of them having been since beard to ray, " When I kin
a um again, I will have half the money ;" and the other,
alter the horse was found, was seen with a conai-
NMI af money, when, before that occurrence, he
sr about le loom chargeable to the parish. One of
Om hie auk given away an antique silver double
Naked wabilsol, which it is thought belonged to the
ianknovrn desiesad, and affixed to the chain is an ancient
watch-key uriouly worked is silver. However, no claimant
appearing for the twee, and no tidings having been ob-
tained of any person being missed, the matter remained at
rest until the discovery of the skeleton aa above stated. The
remains are in the possession of a medical gentleman in the
neighbourhood, who gives it as his opinion, founded on'
their decomposed state, and the nature of the soil (sharp
gravel), in which they were found, that the body had been
deposited there about tea or twelve years ago. The
tical hone, saddle, and bridle, are still tn existence at Eve-
sham. The horse is half-bred, brown colour, about 14 hands
high, and, when tint discovered, was about three years old ;
the saddle has a label under the flap, "C. Reeves, saddler
and harness maker, Malreesbum"

Till BRISTOL Fags-PORT ASSOCIATION, it is understood,
is now in communication both with the town-council and the
Dock Company. A committee of the former body has been
formed to confer with the council of the association, when
required ; and Mr. Bright, the chairman of the association,
has had interviews with Mr. Cookson and other deck pro-
prietors, in order to ascertain what price the holders put upon
their property.

Fcruas RzrIIZSENTATtoI or Till BoROUCin or ARAD-
INO.—The hopes which we may say were universally and
confidently entertained by the inhabitants of this borough
that Mr. Walter, of Bearwood, would be their reprerectiNfire
at the approaching election are at an end. That gentleman
is now lying dangerously ill, and whatever may be the ter-
mination of his illness—which we sincerely hope will be
favourable—Rs has directed it to be made publicly known
that he has formed a firm determination to retire wine,
from public life.—Berkshire Chronick.

nock have appointed a committee to write and circulate six
tracts agains intemperance: Ist. On the expense of ardent
r moirite. 2nd. On their injury to health. 3rd. Compare their
owe and the Sezipture-drinking customs. 4th. On the drink-
Virettges of Scotland. 6th. On their moral effects. 6th. Au
to ministers and elders on the subject.
STRAY NATIOATION.—The Aberdeen, Leith, and Clyde
Shipping e .mpany has hitherto almost bad a monopoly of
the north of Scotland ; and having refused certain requests
of the more northern merchants, a rival company bas been
=. The requests preferred were :-Ist. To ensure
accommodation, without crowding, to the stock,
fettle on the voyage; 2nd. So to arrange with the shipping
companies as by a single payment to cover freight, boatage,
wharfage, shore-dues, and a variety of other petty and veil-
, Moms charges which it is difficult for the exporter beforehand
to calculate • and 3rd. With regard to the Leith trade, an
effort has been made to get the steamer to sail direct for the
Firth of Forth, without stopping at Aberdeen.
POTATO DISIASF.—A correspondent of the Ayr Observer,'
who dates his letter, " Wellbeck, February 5, 1847," says,
" I am sorry the potato disease of last year has shown itself
unequivocally in the hot-beds here within the last week.
Therein, I tear, no dependence to be put upon this much-
• esculent in futnre, especially in the months of
August, September, and Ostober. The only chance is in
ciridiesartyvarieties—very early—to have them ripe by
of July. The disease cannot go on when the
thermometer is below 46 Fahrenheit."
PROFINCIAL.

SEVERAL MUTSU 111,031 EXPOSURE TO Till RECENT
tnetner.ter Wearier' ere reported in the local papers. A
poor man named Russell, aged 40, who worked for his
mother, an old woman approaching 90, upon a small farm in
Newhard Bishop, left that town on Tueiday night, and wail
act seen or beard of until the next day, at two &clock, when
toms children gcing through a field saw a man on the ground.
Thinking he was drunk, they threw snow.lialla at him, bat
they soon discovered that be wan dead. The deceased wee a
wry inoffensive man, and did all the labour on his mother's
hem.—Another ease occurred at Bolton, where an inquest
was held on Thursday upon Mary O'Llara, aged 45. It
Upsered that the unfortunate woman reached Bolton on
Monday, having travelled on foot from Liverpool with her
Imsband and five children. Roger O'Hare, her husband,
being unable to speak English, a relative who accompanied
him acted sa interpreter. The husband being sworn, stated
that the family had left Drogheda a month before, and that
fise weeks be last Saturday the deceased was confined.
Oa their way to. Bolton, a short distance from the
town, she complained of being unwell, and continued
to be so up to Wednesday, when she died. It was believed
the 'sanity at the weather and the fatigues of walking
through the snow had hastened her death. She had had a
pain at her heart for three years. Verdict, " Natural
Destb."—At Worcester, on Tue4day, a jury assembled to
esquire into the death of a childewhen evidence was given
that displayed an extreme state of poverty in the near-
baste mother of the infant. She entered upon a lodging in
Pamphrey's-buililings, on Wednesday lest, for which she
was to pay Is. per week. On Thursday she was delivered of
the deceased, then apparently a healthy infant. There was no
bedding in the house ; and the deceased infant, its mother,
and another child, four years old, slept upon some shred;
heaped together in a corner of the room, being covered with
an old cloak and a piece of carpeting.
LANCAOHLRE.
RIPRESENTATION OP BLACEBURN.—The Preston Chro-
nicle of Saturday says :—" A deputation of the Liberals of
Blackburn yesterday waited upon J. Pilkingten, Esq., of
Park-place, to request him to allow himself to be placed in
Nomination, along with W. Hargreaves, Esq., of Milathorp,
at the nest election. We have not heard Mr. Pilkington's
answer to the request, but he was expected to accept the
invitation. Mr. Hargrearce, we believe, visits Blackburn
to-day. From the preponderance of Liberal voters upon
the register, there can be no doubt of the return of both
gentlemen."
PILOPosAL FOR TEE INCORPORATION Or BLACKBURN.—
ka anonymous handbill was last week extensively circulated
is Blackburn, complaining of the expenses of the Improve-
ment Commiasioners. The costs alluded to are of the new
Town-hall, the Improvement Act now in existence, and the
tall fir which they are applying. The remedy of " A Com-
missioner" is a charter of incorporation; the rate-payee
will then have to elect the ruling powers.

JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL.
Pammer.—Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, the Master of the Boils,
the Judge of the Admiralty Court, air A. Johnstone, and Sir
Edward Ryan.
Ix ma M INCHIN.—This was en appal presented by lams
Minchin, Esq., barrister-at-law, late Master of the
Court of Madras, against an order of the Jana
11, 1845, dismissing him from his sines he aWrei GSM
misconduct in the taxation of the bills of ode ht a wee et
" Moottee Ram e. Campbell."
Mr. Bethel], in stating the we on the pert of the appel-
lant, said the only difficulty he felt was to satisfy their lon/.
ships that there was nothing in the sage beyond what was
set out in the printed papers, which, however, contained
every fact and document connected with them, and he
thought the moment the court became acquainted with
the facts they must see that the sentence which had
been pronounced was one of the most extraordinary
that had ever come under their consideration. The
strength of the appellant's case lay in • simple
narrative of the circumstances which gave rise to it.
It appeared that having practised as a barrister at Madras
from the year 1820, he was appointed master on the 2nd of
February, 1841, the Supreme Court at that time counting of
Sir Robert Comps, Chief Justice, and Sir Edward Gambier,
Puisne Judge. The court was established by charter in
1802, under the authOrity of which • table of fees to be al-
lowed to the master and other officers of the court was pub-
lished, and continued in force untillB3l, when certain altera-
tions were made, in conformity with roles adopted in the
Court of Chancery in England m 1828. In 1841 it appeared
that, owing to • decrease in the business, the Master's fees
had for some time been diminiahing, which caused Mr.
Minchin to hesitate about accepting the appointment, his
practice at the bar being likely to be more profitable ; but
ultimately he did accept it, and continued to discharge the
duties of the office, receiving the same fees as his prede-
cessors, since 1831, without complaint, until 1845. The
Supreme Court now consisted of Sir Edward Gambier, Chief
Justice, and Sir W. W. Burton, Puisne Judge. In March,
1845, the judges, thinking a reduction in the fees of the
court dosirable, directed a encoder to be sent to the
whetter at Madras, desiring informed= to be sent on the
aurae& of costa allowed in taxation; and on the 22nd of
Mardi the Chief Jokier wars to the appellant, stating that
tho Modish et** jags bed ban called to the costs al-
lowed on Made., and ragas .sg the muter to point out
how maim of thew charges and der wililak were allowed,
could be resonollail with the table of hr. The master re-
tuned 100 emewer onthe 26th of blank, giving a detailed ex-
planation in rarest et each item, is which the chief justice
had made reference. On the 31st of Muth, Sir. E. Gambier
wrote to the appellant a letter, intimating the opinion of
Mr. Justice Burton and hinmelt that, with one specified ex-
ception, the charges set out in the letter of the appellant
were not consistent with the table of fees, and that the
judges would not be able to allow them in any future bill of
cons- As the disallowanceof those fees would cause • con-
siderable diminution in his income, and thinking it could
not be sustained in law, the appellant wrote to the chief
justice expressing his intention to appeal to the Queen in
counc• , and requesting leave of absence for that purpose,
The chief justice, in a letter of the 2nd of April, 1846.
granted the leave of absence requested, and added, " that
with perfect truth, and with the utmost satisfaction, he
could bear testimony to the zeal, energy, and ability dis-
played by the appellant at the bar, and as • public
officer." The chief justice further stated, that,
in order to give facility to the appeal, he and
Mr. Justice Burton had resolved to issue a terms' order for-
bidding the allowance on taxation of the items to which they
had expressed their objection. The order of disallowance
was accordingly issued on the sth of April, and on the Bth
the appellant presented a petition for • commission to take
the evidence of the late chief judge and muter, adding that
of the then late registrar of the court, who had returned to
England ; and to this was added a request for copies of the
letters and other representations to the court respecting the
charges in the master's office in which the ordo corns was
supposed to have originated. The petition was refused, Si
was also a subsequent petition pngeutd by the appellant for
leave to appeal against the order refusing the eognmistion.
_eater the formal order of the 6th of April had been lamed,
the appellant thought it proper, previous to appealing
move the court to art aside so much of that order r ap
to fees over which he thought the court had no jurisdiction.
Such motion wan made on the 18th May, and was dismisged,
although the orao curies was partially altered: by • subsequent
order. The d'smissal was r.c:3= partici with great warmth
on the part of, the court, and with strong expressions of its
displeasure that the motion had been made ; and the obaer-
vatione of the judge; on the conduct of the appellant in
sanctioning the fees in question made him feel it impossible
to rer.rain an officer of the court by which be had been
trer.ted with so much indignity and injustice, and the judg-
e ein pronounced by the court on the motion against the

ordo curie was immediately followed by the appellant send-
ing in hi reeigeation of the ethos of master. The resigns-
tion was refused on the ground of charges being intended to
be preferred against him. On the 23rd May the appellant
was served with as order nisi, to show cause why he should
not be dismissed ; and the charges stated in the order were
in effect the unauthorised allowance of the items previously
coecitled. Instead of the first day of the coming term, the
tn.,isr nisi required him to show cause in a week. On the
9th ,sf.lune cause was shown against the order nisi, and in a
few d vys the order was made absolute for the appellant's dia

ceived themselt Ye authorised in imputing " moral guilt to
Mr. Tlinchin ; in refusing to receive his resignation of the
office, on the g,-uund that charges were pending against
him, although no charge whatever had been made
by any one, the court acting in the matter en-
tirely ex mero meta ; then in casting about to find
materials to support these charges; and finally, in dis-
missing him from a situation for which he had given up a
lucrative practice at the bar. Admitting the judges to have
the power to alter the tab.'e of fees, and that wader the cis.-
..tames the appellant would have no right to compensa-
tion, which were points upon which be had at least a right
to be heard, it was perfectly cleat' that the taking or allowing
of fees which had been sanctioners by long wage, could form
no ground of charge against Mr. Minchin in his official cha-
racter, still less for any imputation of moral guilt; and,
under all the circumstances, the language and conduct of
the judges towards the appellant did seem to him (Mr.
Bothell) to be meet extravagant, and, he would add, painful;
and he submitted the facts not only called for a revenge' of
the sentence of damned, but an expression of their lord-
ships' opinion honourably acquitting Mr. Minchin of all mis-
conduct, and thus giving him all the redress which, he was
afraid, it was in their power to give.—Mr. Ooodeve here
followed.
Their lordships directed that a petition for leave
to appeal should be presented, the case not bring
one in which an appeal could be brought as of
right, and they would then report their opinion to her
Majesty, which, we may add, from the strong expressions
thrown out by their lordships during the hearing, will pro-
bably be in favour of granting the prayer of the petition.

tory note is perhaps necessary. The ease decides on the
validity of 3 practice that makes it lawful far a parish in
Cornwall to suffer a pauper to be removed from Nor-
thumberland, ...nd then to remove him back by appeal.
The late Mr. Jus•ice Williams said that it was the object of
the Poor-law Amendment Act to put down such a practice
by making it imperative to appeal before removal, which
cannot take place mitt; the lapse of twenty.one days, with-
out notice of appeal after service of the order, or, in case of
en appeal, after its determloation. The act of last session
laid down the principle of irr•movability.

—ln this case, which was a rule nisi for a writ of mandamus
to the Dean and Chapter of Chester, (*mounding them to
restore a chorister, the court had taken time to consider
whether the rule ought to be discharged on the ground that
there was a visitor, the Bishop of Chester, to whom the pro-
secutor should have applied tor redress. Lord Denman, on
Saturday, said that the writ of mandamus must go, and that
the tact of there being a visitor must be brought before the
court, like any other fact, on the return to the writ.—Rule
absolute.

ELLIN V. ONIKERUD.— INFRINGEMENT OP ♦ P♦TEAT.
—ln this case, which was adjourned on Friday at the
close of the plaintiff's case, it was intimated by the
counsel for the defence that the plaintiff's patent
could not be impeached, and that it was on im-
portant inventing ; and Sir F. Kelly, on the part of the
plaintiff, was not prepared to say that the machine of the
defendant was an infringement of the plaintiff's patent.
The verdict, therefore, was taken for the plaintiff on all the
issues, except "rot traety," which was entered for the de-
fendant, both parties to p sy their own costa.—The learned
judge granted a certificate that the patent was a valuable
one, and was properly describoll in the certificate.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Nu: Pmts.—Mom Sir F. Poikvb sad Spedal Juries.
Dunk V. Cox.—" Ma. Rtcuaat• Dlava."—This wu an
action brought against the Messrs. Co: and Co., army agents,
by Mr. Richard Dunn (with whose ecoentricities the public
have been long familiar) to recover a bawnte of about 2001.,
alleged to be due by them to the late Lieutenant Dunn, of
the 7th regiment of foot. The deceased officer.whe was the
plaintiff'. brother, died in 1840. The evidence adduced to
sustain the claim failed, and the plaintiff was non-suited.—
Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Puhley, were the plaintiff's
counsel. The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and
Mr. Waddington appeared for the defendants.
FeLTuN r. Da BIikOII.—RAILWAY LIABILJTIM—This
was an action to recover compensation for services rendered
byy the plaintiff, as engineer of the Oxford, Thame, High
Wycombe, and Uxbridge Railway Company, of which the
defendant was one of the managing and provisional commit-
teemen. The company was formed in September, and the
plaintiff was appointed in October, 1845, at a meeting of the
committee, pres.ded over by the defendant. The work was
satisfactorily executed, and the maps, Ike., delivered to Mr.
Gell, the solicitor of the company, on the 29th of November,
the day before that on which they should have been lodged
at the offices of the Board of Trade, in compliance with the
standing orders of parliament : however, it appeared that the
defendant's " conicnt," which was produced from the Re-
gistration Office, though dated the 15th of October, was not
registered until the 15th of November. It was contended,
on behalf of the defendant, that he could not be held liable
for anything done by the plaintiff prior to that day.
The jury, after deliberating for an hour, returned a ',Pre-
dict for the plaintiff, with 2401. damages.

EQUITY COURTS.
Before the eloo.Chamellor of England.
MORRIS O. MORRIS. INJUNCTION To RESTRAIN A
TENANT TOR Lure IROM CUTTING, DOWN ORNAMENTAL
TIMBER.—The plaintiff in this ease was the eldest son of the
defendant, Sir John Morrill. It appeared that the grand-
father of the plaintiff, who had made a considerable sum of
money by copper melting, had built a mansion-house at
Claremont, in Glamorganshire, and had settled the
property upon the defendant, Sir John Morris, for
life, without impeachment of waste, and upon
his death the estate was to go to the plaintiff for life without
impeachment of waste, with divers limitations over after his
decease. Upon the death of the grandfather, the defendant
entered into possession of the mansion-house, and finding
that owing to its being situate near the copper works, the
place was unhealthy and disagreeable, he pulled down the
house and built another in a better situation. The defen-
dant had lately commenced cutting down the ornamental
timber which was growing in the park, and had surrounded
the mansion-house. _ A motion was now mode for an injune-
_ . -
to cat down

tion to restrain Sir J. Morris from continuing
the timber.—Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Etudes, in support of
the motion, relied upon the Wellesley ease, and the ease of
" The Duke of Leeds a. Amherst."—Mr. Bethell and Mr.
Ruch, for the defendant, contended that as the mansion-
house had bee& removed, an act which the plaintiff did not
object to, there was nothing to prevent the defendant
from cutting down the timber, which was only ornamental as
far as regarded the house that no longer existed, and that,
owing to the smoke from the copper works the situation
was rendered unhealthy for a residence, and injurious to the
growth of trees
The Vice-Chanceller said he thought this a very simple
ease ; it was very *aid to see a son taking proceedings of
this nature wunst his father, but Kill, if the father was
acting illegally, it was the duty of the court to interfere. :
The general rule was, that a tenant for life, without im-
peachment of waste, had no right to destroy those tree
which were planted for the shelter and protecbon, and r sa
ornament, to the mansion-house ; and he did not sr tbelt
there was anything in the cases referred to which reread
that rule from applying where the mansion-house itself bed
been puilml down. He should, therefore, grant the inj&eo
tion in the terms asked.
RIMMING O. Srtana.—This suit was instituted for the
specific performance of a contract for the sale of certain prn-
party at Battle-bridge. It appeared that the property bad
been settled upon a Mr. Horsetail and hie children, that
Mr. Horsetail had had three children, two daughters and a
son, all of whom had died without issue. A search had been
made in the parish registry of Marylebone where an entry
was found of the birth of a son of the said Mr. Horsetail,
named Thomas, and upon this objections were raised to the
title of the plaintiff, upon whom the property had descended ;
affidavit& were plc:cloud by persons who had been intimate
with the family, which set forth that there never had been
move than the three children of Mr. Horsefall. Upon the
matter being referred to the master he had reported that a
pad title could be made. Exceptions were now taken to
that report. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Darker appeared for the
exceptions ; and Mr. Willcock in support of the master's

report.
'fhe Vice-Chancellor thought that the affidavits which had
been produced were sufficient evidence that there were no
other than the three children ; he should therefore overrule
the exceptions.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Commissioner MooThum.
Byars:mon or • CERTIFICATE.-8. Aaron, an auc-
tioneer at Brighton, applied for his certificate, which
was opposed on two grounds—that he had passed by
an assumed name, and bad improvidently contracted
debts. The bankrupt took the benefit of the act in
1842, when he owed 1,3001., and no dividend had been paid.
He resumed bwiness at Btighton, where he had carried it on
some years under the style of " Phillips and Co." He had
thirty-seven creditors, and only three had proved, from
which it was inferred that he uas not known by the name of
Aaron. It then appeared that the bankrupt's expenses bad
I been considerably beyond his profits, and that there was
but little for his creditors. He commenced business after his
insolvency with a small sum he had borrowed. He had a
familyof fourteen children, and had been struggling to get
on for some years.—His Honour suspended the allowance of
the certificate in this ere for two years.

amaulted him in the coffee-room at the Hall of Commerce,
on the 28th of last December. The prosecutor deposed that
he wu a eharebroker, and wu present at the time and place
above mentioned, purchasing shares of a Mr. Gibson, and
to settle the purchase it was necessary he should obtain
change for a sovereign. He went to obtain the change, and
r whilst in conversation with a gentleman whom be did not
know, the defendant called out " Take core of your pockets
—take care of that swindler." Witness did not at first know
that this applied to him, but afterwards went to the defen-
dant, and asked him if such was the fact. The defendant
drew forth a short cane with a hook handle from under the
table at which he was sitting, and struck at witness, but the
blow fell on the table. He then took second aim and struck
him on the temple. It was a most brutal assault. lie went
te the Lord Mayor, but was too late, 'and therefore this in-
dictment was preferred.—The jury retired for a short time
and returned a verdict of Guilty.—The Recorder ordereti
the defendant to enter into his own recognisance in 201., to
keep the peace for twelve months, and on breach thereof to
be called on to receive the judgment of the court.
SURREY SESSIONS.
HIORWAY ROBBERY.—Caroline Jones, 30, was indicted
for assaulting and stealing a silver watch and guard-chain
from the person of John Orunanett, at Croydon.—On the
12th ult., in the evening, the prosecutor arrived, by the
train from London, at the Croydon terminus. He pro-
ceeded along the high road towards his residence at Broad-
green, and when about a mile from the station he was ac-
creted by the prisoner, who followed him, and when M •
lonely part of the road she made a snatch at his guard-chain.
He pushed her on one side, when a man came suddenly be-
hind him and pinioned his arms, while the prisoner seised
his watch and chain, and ran away. The man jumped over
the hedge and made his escape, but he pursued the prisoner
and captured her in the yard of the railwaystation, whe
she had taken refuge. She attempted to get away from
him, and threatened to stab him unless he let her go ; but,
fortunately, a policeman came up and took her into custody.
The watch mu found the same evening in the passage of •
house which the prisoner ran peat after haring committed
the robbery.—The jury found her Guilty, and the Chairman
sentenced her to ten years' transportation.

O'ltim. v. WIIITTAILE/L.-MOTUAL MISTAKII or VINDOR
AND PcactiAllne..—ln this case the plaintiffs agreed to sell
to a Mr. Whittaker, the residue to come and unexpired of a
lease for three lives and twenty years, dated in 1756. Both
parties believed that the surviving life died in 1823, whereas
the death took place twelve years afterwards, making a dif-
ference of considerable value in the purchase. The mistake
was not found out until after the purchase had been com-
pleted by conveyance. The bill, which was not filed until
eight or nine years after the purchase, was brought against
the executors of Mr. Whittaker, for the put poseeither of hea-
-1 ing the contract rescinded, or some relief by way of column-
sation.—Mr. Anderdon and Mr. Charles Hall appeared for
the plaintiffs. Mr. Russell and Mr. Chandleas for the de-
fendants.
His Honour, after reading the particulars and conditions of
sale, and the recitals in the conveyance, exprmsed his opinion
to be, that what the vendors agreed to sell, and the purcha
ler to buy, was not the eight or nine remaining years of the
lease, which they supposed were yet unexpired, but the lease
of 1755 as it affected this property, and which they erroneously I
supposed to have a shorter tune to run than it actually
had. That being so, it was impossible, he thought, to
give the plaintiffs any relief, except upon the footing
of rescinding the contract ; but considering their delay '
in filing the bill, and the circumstance that it was not in any
way explained how the mistake arose, or when or by whom
it was found out, he thought the plaintiff' not entitled
to any such relief, and that the bill must be dismissed
with costs.
