first deal with the half-loaf men, and we shall then
know how to deal, should they persist in any kind of
grinding oppression, with the strap and the billy-roller
men. We mourn not over blighted hopes, for the Corn-
laws after all must be repealed, unless landlords can
withstand the power of Got) ; but we mourn the folly
and stupid, selfish obstinacy of the landlords, who arc hur-
rying themselves, their friends, and dependents to ruin.
Whatever may be the result, and we fear it. will be
dreadful, our conscience is quite clear. We have
neither countenanced any oppression of the lower classes,
nor have we ever cried out against the Corn-law agita-
tion, that it was "a Whig trick." On the contrary,
we zealously combatted that assertion, when it was put
forth by splenetic and self conceited journalists, wrongly
called Liberal ; and we entered our fervent protest
against the unfortunate exasperation of the working
clashes, by the prosecution of Mr. STEPHENS. We be-
lieve, had our conduct found imitators in the other Li-
beral Journals—had they not ridiculed STEPHENS and
his fervid eloquence, and the efforts of his followers—
bad they not discountenanccd the Corn•law agitation as
a scheme of the Whigs, the whole Liberal party would
would now have been closely united, to get rid of the
most insulting oppression that ever was suffered by a
free people. _

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

SECONDARIES' COURT:

(THIS DAY.)

Among the subjects that occupy attention in the city at present,
there is none more prominent than the commercial crisis under
which both France and Belgium are suffering, but the information
supplied either by the public or the private accounts is far from
making the situation of affairs so intelligible as might be desired.
In Belgium it seems to have been attended with this remarkable
result in a political point of view—that it has induced the people to
acquiesce itiore readily that, might otherwise have been the case in
that submission to the will of the five Powers, which was declared
by the Belgian Government to have become a matter of absolute ne-
cessity. The lead was taken in this by the trading classes, who
have been strongly memorializing the Government not to add to
their distresses by a foreign war.

(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER and a Special Jury.)
ASEIURST V. STRANGE.

The pleadings having been opened by Mr. Huggins,
Sir F. Pole.iptit said he appeared for the plaintiff in this ca-c
Mr. W. H Ashurst, an attorney, who had becitight an action for
libel against the defendant, a bookseller in Paternoster-row,
who, having suffered judgment to go •by default, the case
now came before them for the purpose of assessing the
amount of damages. The plaintiff was probably not unknown
to !hem, having for many years discharged the duties t•f his profes-
sion with zeal, honour, and fidelity, yet always with fairness towards
those to whom he was opposed. The libel complained of was contained
in a pamphlet entitled " The commercial career of Sewell and Cross,
with an account of the premature death of Thomas, and the subse-
quent extraordinary proceedings of John Kirley, to which are added
sketches of Dry, Philips, C. Mirfin, &e., edited by Leo. Ile thought
that this anonymous libeller, instead of taking that name, should
have taken the name of some cowardly skuiking beast. It pure
ported to be a re. print of certain articles which had appeared in a
weekly newspaper. Had- they appeared in any newspaper of any
repute or respectability, the plaintiff would instantly have
called upon the Editor for a retractation, or have given him an ep-
portunity of proving his assertions if he could ; hut the Jury roust be
aware of the complicated machinery of these obscure weekly
vehicles of slander, which rendered it perfectly impossible for any one
who might feel aggrieved by them—that rendered it impossible fur any
—te get at author or editor so as to obtain:redre'ss. The instant he
Sound theselibels collected, he lost no time in giving the publisher
an opportunity of proving the statements, if he could. He need
not insist upon the importance of character to an attorney. On
thatsubject he entirely agreed with a recently elected Member of Par-
:lament in his address to his constituents Thelibol charged him with
leaving as. attorney to the assignees in a certain case of bankruptcy,
acted collusively with the bankrupt, with having got up tee bank-
ruptcy, and carried it through, not for the purpose of benefiting
the creditors, but for the purpose of whitewashing the bank-
rupt. If there was any one whose whole professional die
gave the lie to such a charge, it was the plaintiff, and. he had it
in his power to prove; had not the defendant suffered judgment to go
by default, that this charge was false i❑ every particular. Since he
had entered the Court he had been informed that the defendant's
attorney bad been instructed to disavow every imputat'on, and to
eiffer the must ample apology. This, he confessed would alter the line
of conduct he had at first been disposed to adopt very considerably. lie
intended to have called upon the Jury to have marked their sense of
the atrocious nature of the libel by giving heavy dani,,ges, but in
consequence of this apology he would not ask for more
than what was called a nominal verdict for 405., mare
especially as he. understood that Mr. Strange was entirely untie-
quainted with the, contents of the pamphlet, which had been brougl.t
to his shop ready printed, by an individual with whom he was ma
acquainted, and who had requested him to publish it in the regular
course of his trade, and that on the discovery of the libel, he Fad
taken every means in his power to suppress it.
Mr. WIBE, on b..half of the defendant, stated that he fully and
cntirely concurred in every thing which had fallen from Sr F.
Pollock. The defendant had desired him to express his deep regret
that he should have been made the instrument of puldishing this
libel, to exit ess his unqualified disa, owal and deni•,l of the stat. ments
contained in it, and his a,•xious desire that thisapologyshoutd no only
ha- made to Mr. Ashurst, but go before the public also, he being I,er-
fectly convinced that Mr. Ashurst was incapable of committing the
acts imputed to him. He would likewise draw their et.
tention to the proceedings in this case. The instant he
knew that the plaintiff's name appeared in the publication
--the instant he knew that it was a libellous one—he
forbad the sate of another copy, and tendered to Mr. Ashurst the
amplest apology, both there and in writing, through hies (Mr.
Erie). Inc had further abstained from putting Mr. Ashurst to a
ingte farthing of expense, or any trouble during the whole course of
these proceedings. He again begged to express the defendant'e re.
fret at having been made the means of this publication, his entire
eisbelief of the charges made against Mr. Ashurst, and his desire that
that apologyshould be widely circulated.

According to accounts received from Paris, the money and com-
mercial crisis was still far from over, and is represented. black', ra-
ther to be on the increase. Discounts even for the most ace: edited
paper could with difficulty be obtained, and the numerous failures
which for several days past had been registered at the Tribunal of
Commerce contributed to the want of confidence still more, and were
a sullicient proof of the extent of the existing embarrassments. In
the course of last week, 19 bankruptcies had been thus declared at
Paris.

The failure of Ashley and Son, of Regent.street, bankers and
army agents, which took place yesterday, is n.garded in the Cit 3
as an ev...nt quite unimportant. Their transactions have been of
small amount, and they have few connexions at this cud of the
town. Their engagements are not estimated ;t more than !hid)
thousand pounds, probably the smallest in any case of the kind oc.
curries in the metropolis.

In another place will be found an account of a meet-
ing of the county of Carnarvon, which, called to
petition for agricultural protection, would have adopted
by large majorities resolutions favoarable to the Repeal
of the Corn-laws, but the High Sheriff thought it un-
desirable to have such a manifestation of public opinion,
and adjourned the m,:eting. If the nun of Manchester
had acted like those of Carnar6l-7, and agreed to the
excellent resolution proposed by the Delegates, we
should have bad to congratulate them, as we sincerely
congratulate the honest, bold, and manly Welshmen.

The transactions in the funds have been of rather more importanc,
since the settlement, and the tendency to an improvement w 26
parent again today. Coi4ols were 03 to for Money, and 934
for Account. Bank and India Stocks participated in the advance,

After thellailway question was disposed of last night,
Lord MORPETH moved the second reading of the Iri,h
Municipal Bill, a measure e.hich is a compromise be-'
tween the two parties, contingent on. other measures,
those for settling the Tithes and the Poor Laws, which
have already passed, and to the principle of which the
Toties as well as the Whigs have given their assent.
It might therrfore have been expected that the second
reading would have passed as a matter of cours:7, and ac-
cordingly Mr. GOULBURN,in the absence of Sir R. PEEL,
on its being elovLd stated that he had no objection to the
motion. The herd which usually follow hint, however,
deserted their leaders, got up a furious opposition, and
ended in getting the Bill postponed, causing that disor-
der and nit .riling business, of which the Tories so loudiy
and continually complain. If some of them were not
tipsy, they might. have been, and not deserved
more censure than at present. They made a
noise about Lord EBRING'iON'S appointment, which
has nothing to do with the Municipal Bill. If their
courage were equal to their lungs, or their attach-
ment to the Church equal to their professions, they
would, as Mr. SHIEL told them, move an Address
to set aside the appointment. But they are mere noisy
braggarts who impede the business brought forward by
others without doing any of their own.

The Paris papers of Thursday, have all bzen received;
together with Madrid Journals of the 21st ult. They con-
tain very little news of arty ictercst. The .11oniteur, and
the. Courricr Francais, articles the tendency of
which is to thow that nes,ociations are acturliy on foot to
bring about a speedy and amicable accommodation with
Mexico. If such be indeed the iotention of the French
Government we may foitly attribute it to the irritation
manifested by the commercialists of Great Britain and the
United States.

Sir F. PoLLooK—When I was told some time ago that an apology
was offered, I said that Mr. Ashurst, having com.nenced proceedings,
could never accept a private apology for a public libel—if any apology
were made, t must be made in public.

The Jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40,
The Court was crowded during the proceedings.

PARLIAMENTARY DIV ISION

The tranquiility which prevaiN in Africa hos enabled the
Government to take measures fir a large reduction of the
Army of Occupation maintained there since 1834. The
number of troops preparing for cmbarkatiou to France,
amounted to 6,000.

Don CARLOS (who, however, had not dared to approach
Estella), was laying siege to Peralta. It is generally be-

fling the Pretender overboard, and set up his son.

LIVERPOOL COTTON 111kREET, PRIDXY.— We have had more
doing this week, and the market has consequently presented a more
lively appearance, with a ate sly aspect for American descriptions,
prices of -which are firmer, and incline in favour of holders. Brazil
and Egyptian are a little heavy of sale, and the latter are offered
more fully at -14 to k decline. Speculators have taken 4,000 bales
of Americas and 200 Carthagena, and exporters 120 bales of
American. The sales to-day are from 6to 7,000 bales of all kinds,
the market closing with firmness.
The failure of a banking house in Regent-street which was known
in the City late in the afternoon of yesterday, has nut had the
least effect on the Funds, as it is looked upon as a mere chandler_
shop concern, and their credit has been declining for some time past.

CLOSE OF THE CARLOW ELECTION.
FICTITIOUS RETURN OF THE TORY CANDIDATE.

This election has closed; Mr. Gisborne polled 164, his opponent,
57. Mr. F. Bruen is now the sitting Member for Carlow; but
its return has been effected in such open and daring defiance of the

Per share.
163,i

law, that even a Tory Committee of the House of Commons must
unseat him. The Sovereign of the Orange Corporation, without
even the apology of having been so advised by a legal Assessor, took
it upon himself to reject nine electors whose names appeared upon
the books of registry, in direct contravention of the Act of Parlia-
ment —Dubin Evening Post.

At the close of the poll, when Mr. Bruen was declared the sit
ting Member, and his return protested against in due form.
Mr. GISBORNE proceeded to address the electors. He said—
Gentlemen, notwithstanding the result of this day's polling, I en-
tertain no doubt but that I shall be sitting in Parliament as the
Representative of the borough of Carlow. lam also satisfied that
I shall have your respected Sovereign as my near neighbour. He
has taken his own view of the law, and, not for the first time, an
erroneous view. Gentlemen, his ideas of law, and his notions of
equity, are not infallible, and perms have been found who differ
with him in opinion, and for the proceeding which I have
mentioned he was dismissed from the Magistracy.—(Loud
cheers.) He has this day, in violation of an Act of Parliament,
and in the teeth of the plainest words that ever were written or
spoken, rejected nine voters who were produced, and tendered
to him by my agent, and for the breach of that law, and for his pre,
meditated violation of the statute, it is my firm and deliberate con.
viction, that he, your respected Sovereign, will spend the remainder
of the season in her Majesty's gaol of Newgate. He has done this at
the instigation (but upon his own responsibility) of Mr. Thomas
Crawford Butler, Mr. Bruen's agent. Sovereign, upon his
own knowledge, rejected the voters arbitrar .y, without inquiry or
tOrm of any kind—his verbal assertion he c :emed quite sufficient—
this was done to my prejudice, and has placed Mr. Bruen in a mak).
rity—he was cautioned against the illegal course he was adopting, but
without success.—(Mr. G. then read the statute violated by the Sove.
reign ) Had he acted legally, I should be in a majority; and I now have
only to observe, that I have written to the law ()Ricers of the Crown,
as to the necessary steps to be taken; and, from my own Parlia.
mentary experience, I Can safely assure you that a Committee of
the House of Commons—l care not how constituted, Whig or
Tory, Radical or Liberal—must seat me in consequence_ of this
illegality. I care not if Sir Robert Peel, or ten of his folio mers,
be on the Committee; the result must be as I tell yen. This I can
safely prophesy. Mr. Gisborne terminated his brief address, amid
the most enthusiastic cheering.
