WEEKLY REPORT OF THE PARTE BOURSE.--Settling-day
approaching, funds and public securities were firm ; the Fives
rose 65e. on the closing price of the preceding week, closing
at 118 fr. tic. For the last week the Paris Bourse hat been
entirely swayed by the fluctuations of the English funds. For
a moment it was feared that the London market was a prey
to a financial crisis of a much more serious nature than that
of the Paris Bourse; but the favourable change which suc-
ceeded brought renewed confidence into the market. It is
hoped that the London and Paris markets will muse a mu-
tual reaction on each other, and it will then be more clay to
form a correct judgment of the true etate of things. People
are beginning to feel that with the exception of the diminu-
tion of the reserved capital of the Bank, the situation of the
French market has not experienced any serious alteration.
Specie, which it was feared would have been so scarce, has
always been sufficiently attendant, and none of those great
commercial disasters have taken place which generally follow
extraordinary dilemmas. If, finally, the law which has just
passed the two Chambers relative to the free importation of
grain and the late prohibitive merisures taken by the Minis-
ter of Commerce, are attended with favourable mutts, if
corn is in sufficient abundance in our markets, it may he
hoped that the public credit, and that of the great enterprises
the succeu of which is connected with the general prosperity
of the country, will be able to rear themselves again
from a fall which will have been of short duration. The
news from Germany is much more favourable. It was there
that the crisis commenced, which was felt suceewively by
Paris and London, and it is probable that an amelioration in
the financial condition of the Vienna, Berlin, and Frankfort
markets will have a beneficial effect on those of London and
Paris. It was generally expected that on settling term
everything would be done at low prices, but, on the con-
trary, the sellers were obliged to repurchase part of their
reek, and shares and prices rose immediately. Railway
shares experienced the same fluctuations as the public secu-
rities ,• they closed at a lower rate than last week, but with
a tendency towards a rise.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

TLI•I L.lll/1,---/Wei071:4I73Y;;;C01;;11;l1Z;&;11110.!Jpry.
HONAAnatt. V. Col.llol.l.—This was an action brought
by the plaintiff, who is a brewer, to recover compensation in
damages for false imprisonment. It appeared that a certain
home had been eommittoad to the care of the plain-
tiff,
,and that the defendant had caused the plain-
tiff to be taken into custody upon a charge
of hasieg the animal in his possession without giving
a satisfaCtory account of it. After the examination of the
first witness, Mr. M. Chambers, on the part of the defend-
ant, stated that his client was willing to make the most
ample apology for the indignity which the plaintiff had
received, and ha (Mr. Chambers) hoped that the malt of
this case might act so a warning to those who held appoint-
ments under the law, to exercise a little more caution in their
desire to further the aids of jastice.—Mr. Serjeant Wilkins,
for the plaintiff, said he was perfectly satisfied with the
apology tendered by his learned friend. The object of the
plaintiff in bringing this action was not to obtain money
from the defendant, but to vindicate DU character against
the stigma that bad been cast upon it.—lt was then arranged
that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, damages
405., and the learned judm expressed hie approbation at the
course which each party had thought proper to adopt.

SUGAR BILL

Lord STANLEY, in presenting the above petitionsmalnst
thin bill, said that unlem the measures to be introduced
were to be of no effect whatever, as was contended by some
persons, who said that they would not facilitate the use of
sugar, they must met materially affect British producer*, the
Scotch, Irish, and English distiller,, the colonial producer,
and a number of other interests, which ought not to be in-
terfered with by party legislation. He hoped that no mea-
sure of that kind, as a permanent measure, would be passed
withouwfull consideration, and without giving all parties inter-
ested a full opportunity of having their complaints fully sad
fairly considered. There was one point, to which he wished
to call the attention of the Board of Trade. It was, the re-
lation which would be established by this law now and in
future, between malt and sugar to be used in distillerifs.
There was an act passed last session, which made a material
alteration in the sugar duties ; but the present alteration in
the sugar duties was not the only one intended. At present,
the duty on British colonial sugar was 14s. per cwt., and
that on foreign colonial sugar amounted to 21s. per cwt.
The latter was to be reduced, in 1851, to 14s. per cwt.; so
that, if foreign rapt could under the present duty enter
into their distilleries in competition with malt, in 1851,
when the differential duty shell have been removed, foreign
sugars could enter into theiz distilleries with an immense ad-
vantage. Whether it could enter into competition or not with
malt at the present duty, at the expiration of four years, the
reduction of seven shillings would enable it to supersede the
use of malt in distilleries and breweries. He did not say
what course was to he adopted ; but they ought not to
adopt any measures without consulting the different
I interest' that might be affected. They might repeal
as much of the set of last year as tended to reduce the duty
I on foreign sums, or they might accompany the reduction of
duty on foreign sugars with a reduction of the duty on malt,
I so as to keep the same relative position between sugar and
malt so was now proposed to be established. He would ask
the noble earl, the president of the Board of Trade, whether
he had any objection to lay before their lordships a copy of
the report said to have been made by the Commissioners of
Excise as to the comparative merits of malt and sugar to be
used in distilleries?

The Earl of CLARENDON said, that on Thursday he
would be able to say whether it could be done without in-
consenience. As to the other matter, he thought it would
be inexpedient to enter into a discussion of it, as the mea-
sure was not now before the house. But he would say,
that all interests that might be affected would have the
fullest opportunity of having their cases heard before the
measure should be allowed to par into law.

IRISH PAUPERS'IN LIVERPOOL.

Lord BROUGHAM said that he was misrepresented in a
matter relating to a subject about which there was a great
deal of feverish anxiety. In referring to the hardship which
Liverpool suffered from the influx of Irish paupers, and re-
garding the manner in which relief should be Oven, lira*
said, that he expressed his realopinion to be that the burthen
ought not to fall on the landlords. He never said anything
of the kind. lie only spoke about a proposition that had
been made, that it should fall on the mortfragen. Whether
it should fall on them or not was quite a different question.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, Fee. 1.
The Edinburgh and Glasgow committees on High-
land destitution have formed themselves into a central
board for the relief of the distressed districts. They
have resolved inter alio that no man able to work,
and having the means of obtaining it, shall receive
any assistance. They are also to issue a Gaelic tract,
giving friendly advice to the Highlanders.
In addition to the troops already despatched from
Edinburgh to the north in order to prevent food riots,
• detachment of fifty men of the 76th regiment left
for Aberdeen on Friday; and yesterday another de-
tachment of one hundred men left by steamer for
Burghead. It may be mentioned as explanatory of
the violent excitement prevailing in some parts of the
north of Scotland, that in the small harbour of Fraser-

burgh, Aberdeenshire, there were lately fifteen vessels
laden with gram for exportation.
A local hind for the relief of the Paisley anew
ployed has been commenced, and amounts to abed
1,0001.
The claims of Mr. McGregor to the representation
of Glasgow have begun to be diamond in the new,-
papers by anonyinons adrertisers—a significant indi-
canon that the " =ewe" will not be wanting at the
mutest.

- The farm servants or hinds in the southern districts
are following the example of their brethren in Had-
dington, by holding public meetings to dismal their
grievances. This is the first time that this class of
the community have come forward as agitators,
and the appearance in that capacity, of parties
so much diasevered by location, and hitherto
regarded as so illiterate, is a marked symptom
of the co-operative spirit of the age. Their eon-
plainte are too technical for disenarion—partira-
larly as each district has its own usages—it is enough
that the matter resolves itself into the ancient feeling,
that " men" think they get too little, and " masters "
think that they get enough, if not too much.

111ENDEI.S.011N.—The oratorio of " Elijah" is to be
performed this evening by the Sacred Harmonic Society, at
Exeterhall. Its performance had been fixed for this even-
ing before the arrival of the news of the illustrious author's
death. The society, in con.equente orthis mournful intel-
ligence, at first thought of postponing tins performance,
" but," as they have intimated, " on mature deliberation, it
appears to them that it will be more appropriately honouring
the memory of their deceased friend and brother-member,
to proceed with the performance as originally proposed."
The oratorio is to be preceded by the " Dead March in
Saul," and the society request that during the evening there
may be no demonstrations of applause, or encores ; a re-
,
commendation which, we trust, will he attended to. The
committee further announce that the followinit resolution
is about to be submitted to the members, assistants, sub-
scribers, and friends of the society : " That a sub tcription
be entered into for the purpose of erecting, in some appro-
priate public building in this metropolis, a bust or other
suitable memorial of the genius and estimable qualitio. cf

jesty and Prince Albert have already subscribel the man

THE IMPROVEMENTSA; D ADDITIONS TO IPSWICH
have become so extensive of late years that not only is the
appearance of many of its localities entirely changed, but
what a fete years since was termed its vicinity is now studded
with dwelling-houses. During the past week very extensive
plots of building ground have been opened up to the public
in an entirely new direction—Mr. Fonnereau having had an
opening cut through Tower Ditches in a direct line with
Tower-lane, removed old houses that had sto3d for-oenturies,
and made a complete opening into that portion or his estate
which lies to the west of Dairy-lone. A gr. at deal of tim-
ber has been felled, and numerous workmen are busily en-
gaged in forming a roadway that will sweep from the direc-
tion of what is called Little Bolton to the entrance imme-
diately op,iosite to Tower-lane. This roadway will be a
branch tram the one that will commence from the bottom of
Dairy-lane, in continuation of Northrate-strect, proceeding
across Little Bolton, and coming out in Globe-lane, nearly
oppcoite to the rood leading to the hospital. Both r..adways
will be 40 feet in width. On each side it is proposed to erect
villa residences, which will have a commanding view of the
river Orwell, Stoke Hills, and Christ's Church-park. It is
in contemplation to establish a public park near Ipswich, for

WALES.

TIIE PRIVILEGES OF THE Betz.—Lord Vivian has pub-
lished a correspondence between himself and Mr. Justice
Coltman, relative to some remarks made by a barrister, Mr.
Temple, during • trial on the North Wales Circuit. It
appears that Lord Vivian prosecuted a servant for embezzle.
ment ; that Mr. Temple was engaged for the defence, and,
in the course of his address to the jury, cast some impute-
tions "upon the motives of the prosecutor. 1 ord Vivian
opplitirl to the advocate for an explanation, which was re-
fused, whereon he wrote to the judge who presided at the
trial.
.An extract from his letter may be given:

For Mr. Temple's opinion of my motives, I are not • bat I do
care. for the opinion cot those amongst whom I line ; an the igno-
rant amongst them are likely to be led rune by such react:dons r
were east upon me by Mr. Temple. lam fully aware of the license
allowed to an advocate in defence of • client; but I conceive that such
license (the law affording no redress for calumnies thus uttered)
should be eacreired with discretion and with jaPtiCe. I venture to
assert, in the charges brought against me by Mr. Temple, both have
been violated; and In this opinion I ion supported by Mr. Townsend,
the gentleman who eonducted the prosecution, but with whom I had
no previous sequaintance. To you, my Lord, then, I appeal to set
me right in the opinion of the public, as to my motives for prowcut-
leg Mill having been neither vindictive, eutragooi, or wrongful.
Lord Neu borough, thv hugh sheriff, was nest appealed to,
and signs the following memorandum, which is published

On application to the judge 'or to whether he purposed taking

worth Lord Vivian% eats e; and being relevant to the case, he did not
stop him at the thee, although had Lord Vivian appealed to him be
should have stated that Oh conduct had been very proper in the prose-
cution, and that he ;the Joilge) would write to Lortltlvian to that erect.
Lord Vivian, in reply, exp•esied hie regret that he did not, or ore-

of such wretchedness that the fact was not known until the
child cried. About a week after its birth the infant began to
pine for want of food, and its sufferings were so severe that
the neighboursof the priaoner, remonstrated with her, and told
her she had better take care of the child, or they would
all be called up to give an account of it." The neighbours
on one occasion took the child under their care, and after
giving it nourishment for a few days, it was restored to a
healthy state. When returned to its mother, it again
showed symptoms of pain and want, and its cries became
like those of a " hoarse cat" (to use the language of one of
the witnesses). The evidence adduced to prove that the
child was starving through neglect, was given by several
women who lodged in the same house, and they spoke to
certain facts tending to show that the prisoner had the where-
withal but not the lnclioation to support it. One of the
witnesses stated that she once heard the child crying so
bitterly, that she begged the prisoner to give it food, " as her
milk was running away ; ' and the prisoner replied
" Let it sleep, and let it cry—'twill grow the faster
for it.' Other witnesses admitted that the pri-
soner had said she had no fo^d for herself or her
children ; and it was also stated that upon one of her
neighbours saying, " dental( r. rather than the child should
starve, J would go a begging," she replied, " I won't." A
woman, named Hicks, proved that she told the prisoner she
ought to provide food for her baby, as she had money
enough to buy sand, and soap, and other things when she

EQUITY COURTS.
Behoe the Lord Mamellor.
IN ME SPENCI.-1110MT TO THU CUSTODY OY COIL-
DABN.—JURISDICTION.—This appeal motion, to discharge
an order made by the Vice Chancellor of England, directing
Mr. James Davidson and Mr. William Newby, both residing
at Stockton-on. Tees, to restore to their father his three in-
fant children, was partly argued last Saturday. The facts
were these: Mr. Spence was married in 1839. In 1842 he
became a Ronan Catholic, having been until then a Pro-
testant. Mrs. Spence continued a Protestant, • and
considering her husband disqualified by his change of
religion, and for other reasons, from having the cus-
tody and care of their children (then only two, the
third born since), she left him, taking the children
with her, and he had not been for some time able to discover
her and their place of concealment. Having lately received
information that the wife had been aided and abetted in her
conduct by Messrs. Davidson and Newby, the former being
her brother, and both being trustees of her settlement snd
solicitors, be presented a petition to the court complaining of
them, stating that his children were removed by their
agency and in their custody or power, and praying that they
might be ordered to deliver them up t. him, or that a writ
of habeas corpus might be issued for that purpose against
them. Such was accordingly ordered by the Vice-Chancellor,
and Mesas. Davidson and Newby made a return to it, de-
nying that the children were taken away by them, or by
their agency, or counsel, or that they were in their custody
or power. Upon that return an application was made
thereon; and on the petition to the Vice-Chancellor, his
Honour made an order on the said parties to deliver up the
children within a given time, or to be committed to prison. This
is the order under appeal. Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Torriano
were heard in support of the appeal motion, and Mr. Rolt,
contra, last Saturday.—Mr. Martindale, with Mr. Rolt, was
now heard, and atter stating the circumstances, he, in order
to meet one of the objections taken by the appellant's counsel
to the jurisdiction on petition, cited several authorities to
show that it was not at all necessary to file a bill in the case
of infants claimed by their faker, but that the petition of
the father gave the court jurisdiction to order their produc-
tion. Among other cases he cited the Earl of Shaftesbury's

leant Casein and Mr. Serjeant Allen assisted in trying
risonen. Of the 89 cases in the calendar, only about 9 or
P 0 remained for trial at the rising of the courts this evening,
but these are the worst and heaviest in it. and are likely to
detain their leadships to a late hour on Monday.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
This court resume/ its sittings yesterday before the Re.
corder and some of the civic functionaries.
There are at present 2'20 prisoners forte , which, con-
sidering the extended period that has elasince the last
session, would be rather less than the average number of
committals. With the exception of one charge of murder
and two of manslaughter, the canes are of the ordinary de-

icription.
The Recorder commenced his charge to the grand jury b•
making a few preliminary remarks with regard to their
duties, and observed that although there were those whJ elf.d
not hesitate to affirm that the functions of a grand jury might
be safely dispensed with, he said he trusted that no grind
jury would effect s, little for the furtherance of the high and
important duties which he considered devolved upon them,
as to encourage the opinion of their inutility to gain ground,
and to lead men's minds to the conclusion that the prelimi-
nary hurried inquiry before the committing magistrate
would be sufficient to place the accused upon his trial. Rio
lordship then referred to some of the ordinary duties of grand
juries, and also to the absence of systematic education and
restraint of the young, as a fruitful source of crime. The
grand jurors were then dismissed to the performance of their
dude'.

EDINBURGH, APRIL 3.
The Edinburgh voluntary ministers are to deliver
a course of lectures against the government scheme of
education. At the Glasgow meeting, to hear Mr. Baines,
the Rev. Mr. D'Orsey, of the High School, in reply to a
taunting allusion to an anonymous letter in the Scots-
man, acknowledged the authorship, and challenged
Mr. Baines to a public discussion, either then or on
some future occasion, to which that gentleman re-
turned an evasive answer. It is understood that an-
other Glasgow meeting will be held, when dir:cusaion
will be permitted. The Free Church is taking steps
for the enlargement of the Macdonald school fund.
About three years ago, the Rev. Mr. Macdonald un-
dertook the duty of raising 50,0001. by subscription,
payable by instalments extending over five years, for
erecting 500 schools in connexion with that body. At
that time there were 500 churches, and it was desir-
able that 500 schools should be attached to them. He
raised the 50,0001. in six months, and without going
over the whole of his intended ground. No place
which he visited subscribed leas than 100 L—even
Shetland had given its 1001. There were three rates
of subscriptien—ld., 3d., and 6d. :—the first, Id. for
each school; the second, 3d.; and the third,
6d. per annum. As churches are increasing,
and deaths occurring, he has been commis-
sioned by the Free General Assembly again
to resume his tour. One hundred friends have
offered 501. each additional to their present subscrip-
tions, thus making a sum of 5,000!., for carrying
further the end in view, bat on the condition that
