BRIGHTON RAILWAY.

After the most costly and prolonged contest in the two
Houses, upwards of 80 days in Committees, Stephenson's line
of railway has followed the fate of Rennie's, Cundy's and
Gibbs's, and was thrown out yesterday afternoon in the Lords'
Committee, by a majority of 17 to 8 Peers. The resolution
which disposed of it was as follows :—" That it is inexpedient
to proceed further with this Bill during the present session."
The minority was, Richmond, Duce, Portland, Strafford,
Queensberry,
,Glengall, Beaufort, Westmorland. The Ma..
jority—Verulam, Cumberland, Warwick, Bayning, Monson,
Mountford, Wynford, Redesdale, Lake, Strangford, De Lisle,
Abingdon, Gage, Clanricarde, Teynham, Exmouth, Berwick.
Two only of the minority, and four of the majority, voted with-
out hearing the discussion or evidence. The decision there-
so far as regards attendance, was bona fide. The principal rea-
sons for rejection were the decided objection of the great ma-
jority of the inhabitants of Brighton to Stephenson's line, and
appearance in the Lords' Committee of the Brighton Junction
Railway, a line uniting Brighton with the London and Dover
(south-eastern)at floated, a cutting of not more than thirty
miles. The announcement of the result at the Stock Ex-
change was received with three loud cheers. Brighton will
have to wait another year for railway connection with the me-
tropolis. The contest is reputed to have cost upwards of
100,0001., and to have been remarkably profitable to the legal
profession.

THE LADIES' PETITION.

The Essex Herald sugg-eTs for the adoption of the la.
dies in that county, the subjoined petition to Pa:Thuile:lt :
" The humble petition of certain single ladies in the county
of Essex, who arc dying to obtain husbands, sheweth :
" That your petitioners have lively seen with deep regret the
lamentable extent to which celibacy prevails amongst the young
men of Great Britain, from which it is evident that that danger-
ous principle of Popery is making vast progress in the land—
a principle fraught with danger to Church clerks, as it reduces
the amount of marriage fees, and at the same time deprives
your petitioners of the dignity of matrons and all the comforts
of double blessedness.

" That your petitioners are convinced old bachel•oiam sours
the temper, promotes avarice, lengthens the face, sharpens
the nose, and prevents longevity ; and though it thus swells
the amount of probate duty, the early death of a bachelor
does not benefit the State so much as a large family of children
wearing taxed articles of clothing and eating food which has
contributed in the shape of duty to his Majesty's Exchequer
" That in consequence of the prevalence of the above
monkish principle, several of your petitioners have already
reached the age of 35 years, without receiving an offer of mar-
riage, although they are told they are by no means behind
their countrywomen in those qualities which would render com-
fortable the household hearth ; and in order, therefore, to
bring the unmarried male portion of society back to their sober
senses, and prevent enormous expense to counties for Coro-
ner's charges, your petitioners pray that your Honourable
House would be pleased to pass a Bill enacting that every man
found unmarried after the age of 26, without showing reason-
able cause to a Jury of single ladies, shall be immediately
banished to No Man's Land,' and branded on the forehead
with the letter B.'

" And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray, Sce."
These petitions when duly signed, may be sent under
cover to Mr. Grantley Berkeley, for as the Hon. Member
was so anxious to obtain the introduction of the ladies to
the House of Commons, surely he will labour to procure
them seats in the temple of Hymen.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A little Frenchman, who had evidently disguised his name
under the cacophonous assumption of Podgy, was charged
by the police with having been remarkably drunk the over-
night.
The policeman saw the Frenchman, under the effect of a
too copious administration of " anti-fogmatics," progressing
in that peculiar manner best described as " having business
on both sides of the way." He took no notice 'of him then,
but on his return, finding be was steadying himself by the
railings, and expeditiously depositincl the sum total of his
evening potations on the steps of a door, be took him to the
station-house.

The defendant, who had apparently worked himself into
a ludicrous rage, gave a violent shrug, and called out, " For
vy de pollis have taken me to de prison von ever I sal eat
some oysters."
Mr. CONANT—What is it you mean ? Defendant—l
vas eat von two dozen oyster for do souper. Den I take
some little vaik, and den I eat two tree dozen more. De
oysters make me ill, and den de pollis come to take me,
ven I vant more de doctor.
Mr. CONANT—This is the first time I have heard that
oysters make a man drunk.
Defendant—Diable ! me not drunk. I vas littel sick,
sqt eat so much oyster.
Constable—The three last times the policeman found the
defendant lying in the street, the defendant asserted ho was
not drunk, but had eaten too much tripe and onions.
Mr. CONANT—He must pay the fine of five shillings for
drunkenness.

Defendant—Dis ent de land of liberty, for I get drunk
in my own country, and pay nothing.
The five shillings were produced, and the defendant was
discharged.

sand sabres and bayonets ; Wellington, who had receive,
some detachments on the 19th, had above forty-six thou-
sand, but the excess was principally Spanish. The French
had seventy-four guns, the allies, including a Spanish bat!
tery, had only sixty pieces. Thus, Marmont, over-matched
in cavalry and infantry, was superior in artillery, and th®
fight would have been most bloody, if the generals had
been equal, for courage and strength were in even balance
until Wellington's genius struck the beam. Scarcely can
a fault be detected in his conduct. It might indeed be
asked why the cavalry reserves were not, after La Mar,
chant's charge, brought up closer to sustain the fourth,
fifth, and sixth divisions, and to keep off Boyer's dragoons,
but it would seem ill to cavil at an action which was de-
scribed at the time by a French officer, as the "beating of
forty thousand men in forty minutes."
The battle of Salamanca, remarkable in many Points
of view, was not least so in this that it was the first decided
victory gained by the allies in the Peninsula. In former
actions the French had been repulsed, here they were
driven headlong as it were before a mighty wind, without
help or stay, and the results were proportionate. Joseph's
secret negociations with the Cortez were crushed, his pa"
tizans in every part of the Peninsula were abashed, and the
sinking spirit of the Catalans was revived ; the clamours o!'
the opposition in England were checked, the provisional
Government of France was dismayed, the secret plots
against the French in Germany were resuscitated, and the
shock, reaching even to Moscow, heaved and shook the
colossal structure of Napoleon's power to its very base.
Nevertheless Salamanca was as most great battles are,
an accident ; an accident seized upon with astonishing vi-
gour and quickness, but still an accident.
We shall conclude with the gallant author's opinion
of the military genius of the Duke, of Wellington
rcld
r
But it seems to be a drawback to the greatness of x',
Wellington's character, that while capable of repressing 'l';
subordination, either by firmness or dexterity as the nas
may require, capable also of magnanimously disregarding
or dangerously resenting injuries, his praises and his cen-
sures are bestowed indiscrim'inately, or so directed as to
acquire partizans and perscmal friends rather than the II:
tachment of the mn!,aude. He did not make the liar,e
working military crowd feel that their honest unobtrus's_
exertions were appreciated. In this he differs not fr°,";
many other great generals and statesmen, but be there*,
fails to influence masses, and his genius falls short
sublime flight by which Hannibal in ancient, and Nepoleoctil
in modern times, commanded the admiration of the w°l.lat
Nevertheless it is only by a comparison with such gre- -
nr.ien that he can be measured, nor will any slight examinulg
tion of his exploits suffice to convey a true notion a
intellectual power and resources. ice
We will, if opportunity serves, give a second notice
of this admirable work.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORNISH V. KEENS.
This case was proceeded with again this morning, and was
not concluded when our Reporter left.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)
PHILIPS V. BROWN.

Mr. HUMPHREY, on behalf of the defendant, moved for a
rule Nisi for the Master to review his taxation in this case
as between the defendant and his attorney. The defendant
had charged the plaintiff with stealing a 5/. note from him
in a house in Bow-street. The plaintiff was tried at the
Central Criminal Court, and acquitted ; he then brought
the present action for a malicious prosecution, which was
tried before Mr. Baron Bolland, and a verdict found for the
plaintiff, with two hundred pounds damages. The defen-
dant applied to the Court for a rule Nisi for a new trial ;
cause was shown against it, and the rule was discharged:
In the bill delivered to the defendant was a charge for four
printed copies of the trial at the Old Bailey, at a charge of
three shillings and sixpence each. He did not com-
plain of that item, for the printed copies were
really useful, but then came a charge for copying the
same report into four briefs, each making 23 sheets. How
the Master could have allowed such a charge he (Mr. H.)
could not comprehend, for the printed copies were infinitely
more useful, and most certainly would and did answer every
purpose at the trial. The next item of which he complained
was one of 901., charged for affidavits, which appeared to
have been made out for the mere purpose of swelling the
bill of costs—they were affidavits made out to be used in
reply to those which were exhibited by the plaintiff on
showing cause. The defendant of course could not know
that they could not be used, but the attorney was bound to
know that, according to the practice of the Court, they
were useless, for the Court never allowed affidavits on any
occasion to be used in reply ; the attorney ought to have
been aware of that fact, and was bound to protect the in-
terests of his client; and not to squander his money. The
third item of which he complained was a charge of 181. or
201. for a journey to Brighton, in order to have these affi-
davits sworn.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON-Of course that item will go with
the other one.
Mr. HUMPHREY thought not exactly ; for, even if the
affidavits were necessary, there could be no possible occasion
for the attorney to make a journey on purpose. They
might have been sworn by a country agent, and at one-
twentieth of the expense.—Rule granted.

by them dismissed). Such being the state of the case,
Mr. Biandy addressed a letter to his constituents on his
election, returning them thanks for the honour they bad
conferred on him, and referring to a statement in that
week's Mercury, relative to the chargisi which had been
refuted before the Corporate Commissioners ; be added,
that " he had no hesitation in pronouncing them to be
wilfully false." In consequence of the publlcation of that
letter, Mr. Blandy, on the 7th November, received a letter
from Mr. Weedon, in which he avowed himself the writer
of the letter of the 31st of October, and as Mr. Blandy

hand charged the writer with wilful falsehood, his friend
Mr. Taylor now waited upon him to require a retracta-
tion, or the satisfaction which one gentleman required from

another.

Lord DENMAN—Does Mr. Blandy state in his affidavit
that he did not at the time know whp the writer of the
letter was ? _ _ .

Sir W. FOLLETT—Yes, my Lord ; but even if he did,
where there is a libel published anonymously, and reflect-
ing upon the character of another—
Lord DENMAN—You must be aware that it was unne-
cessary to use the word " wilful" in denying anything.
Sir W. FOLLETT—He swears he did not know the
writer at the time, and since then another letter has been
sent by Weedon to Blandy, threatening him with personal
chastisement.
COURT—You may take a rule.
London, England, 1836-11-10

BAIL COURT.

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE sat inthis Court this morning,
when the Grand Juries for the county of Middlesex and
the city of London were summoned to appear before him.
Several applied to be excused from serving, on the
ground that they were upwards of sixty years of age.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that he could not excuse
them from serving on the Grand Jury, persons under se-
venty being liable, although persons above sixty were ex-
cused from servinr, on Juries for the trial of causes.
A. Mr. Wild claimed to be excused, on the ground that
he was one of the gentlemen of his Majesty's Chapel Royal.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that was not a sufficient
excuse.

Mr. Wild said it always had been considered sufficient.
He had his appointment with him (producing it), and by
that he was liable to be called upon to attend his Majesty
at Windsor, Brighton, or elsewhere. The present was his
month in waiting, and,if called upon be was bound to fol-
low his Majesty, wherever he might go.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that as it was his month
in waitiiig he would be excused.
The London Grand Jury were then sworn, George
Robert Marten, Esq., acting as their foreman. Among
this Jury was the Hon. Sir George Murray.
The County Jury (summoned from Edmonton and En-
field) were then sworn, Mr. Bridges acting as their fore-
man. The usual proclamation having been made,
Mr. Justice LITTLXDALE addressed them as follows :
" Gentlemen of the Grand Juries, the officer of the Court
informs me, that nothing of very great importance will be
brought before you, although the number of indictments
to be preferred is greater than it has been for some time
past. However, from your general knowledge and expe-
rience, many of you, no doubt, having served on Grand
Juries, you will, I am sure, get through your business with
satisfaction to yourselves and benefit to the county. After
explaining to the Grand Juries their duty in the event of
any bills for conspiracy or perjury being laid before them,
the Learned Judge concluded by stating, that if anything
should arise to require it, he would be happy to render
them any assistance in their deliberations which laid in his
power.
The Grand Juries then withdrew to their respective
rooms.
After disposing of some motions of no public interest,
his Lordship sat at Nisi Prius, when the trial of the cause,
" Decas v. Stockley," was resumed. It is expected to last
the remainder of the day.

THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Duritig the recess the alterations and repairs in both Houses
of Parliament have employed a considerable number of work-
men, and it was only late yesterday that they completed their
labours. The appearance and convenience of the House of
Lords has been much improved. Two additional windows
have been made in the walls ; the side galleries have been re-
duced one-half, and the space below the bar considerably en-
larged. Improvements have also been made in the plan of
warming the House by means of hot water,• and the benches
are so arranged as to accommodate the Peers with less incon-
venience than was hitherto experienced. In the House of
Commons little alteration has taken place ; but several new
buildings adjoining have been erected for the accommodation
of the Speaker and Members. A very commodious room has
been built, sufficiently large to hold four hundred Members,
for the purpose of facilitating divisions, the entrance to which
is by a door at the back of the Speaker's Chair. The new
private room for the Speaker is exceedingly light and con-
venient, and furnished with great taste, but not extrava-
gantly. The floor is covered with a green-coloured Kidder-
minster carpet, and the other furniture, although good, is
only such as any one would expect to meet with in the draw-
ing-room of a country gentleman. The rooms intended for
the Speaker's secretary, and other officers of the House, are
also arranged with great taste and judgment; but they ap-
pear to be built in a substantial manner, as though a pro-
bability existed that the new edifice for the great Council
of the nation might be many years in completion.—From a
Correspondent.
