MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool was very flat yester
day; prices, however, were without alteration. The
sales were estimated at from 3,500 to 4,00 J bales, 1,000
of which were taken for export and on speculation.
Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward
tendency.
In the corn market to-day the arrivals are but limited,
and comprise 8,210 quarters of wheat and 10,470 of
oats.

The business done in the colonial produce mar-
kets this week has been rather smaller, and
the arrivals are large from most quarters, but holders,
under circumstances, have been firm. This
is especially the case with Ceylon coffee,
which has been higher this week, the ac-
counts from Colombo being favourable to a rise. The
Wool sales have been progressing well again, but neither
this article nor Cotton are quite so active as last week.
This is natural after the extensive purchases recently
made. Indigo remains about the same as at the auctions.
From Amsterdam we are advised that there was on
Wednesday very little alteration in the value of the
Dutch Funds, although the Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
were rather animated. Spanish was offered at lower
rates. Austrian and French Stocks were at about
previous values, and Mexican and Peruvian better. At
Frankfort on the 24th instant. Austrian Five per
Cents. were quoted 77, and at Berlin on the 24th inst.
the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. bonds were 83.
A statement of the commerce of Belgium with fo-
reign countries during the six months ending the 30th
June gives the quantity of wheat at 41,296,938
killo-
grammes ; the number of pigs 51,124, sheep 8,882,
calves 6,201, cows 3,402, and oxen 616. The quantity
of flour was 1,508,423 killogrammes, and of potatoes
6,841,030 killogrammes.
The view taken of foreign political affairs varies but
little to what has prevailed for some days past. It is
thought still that the Sardinian question will be amicably
arranged, but in these cases there are frequently narrow
prejudices that may tell well in connexion with money
matters, but are neither philanthropic ner patriot c.
Thus your speculator for the rise would care not
a jot whether a country were sacrificed, pro-
vided peace were restored, and this is pretty
much the case both in regard to Italy and
Hungary. Happily the private views of interested
parties do not go for much, and usually find a counter-
balance in those of antagonist operators. Thus the
Bears exult in every Hungarian victory as much as the
Bulls despair. The abundance of money is now in
favour of every security that is of a valid character,
and pre.eminontly of Consols and Shares. One or two
Foreign stocks may be worthy of attention also; but
without specifying them, we may observe that great dis-
crimination is advisable in touching them. Consols are
93 to * for Transfer, and 93 to + for Time. Exchequer-
bills have been 475. to 50s. premium. India Stock is at
250 to 251. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 93i to 94.
The Foreign Securities have been very inactive.
Spanish Three per Cents. are 34+, Portuguese Four per
Cents. 30k, Mexican 261 to to 27, Brazilian Small 83i,
and Dutch Four per Cents. 80i to 81.
In Railway Shares there is scarcely anything doing.
Caledonian are flatter; and also North Stafford, Great
Northern, Brighton, and most others. York and North
Midland are better. There have been several bargains
in Joint Stock Bank Shares.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE--(FRIDAY )
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, ;Oast
wise, during the present week, have amounted to 1 290
quarters. Tu day, the show of samples of both red 'and
white was moderate. The supply left over from Mon-
day was cleared off at is per quarter under the prices
current on Friday last. The fresh arrivals met a dull
inquiry at that amount of depression, and at which the
market closed heavily. The imports of Foreign Wheat
have amounted to 8,210 quarters. Fine dry qualities
were mostly held at full rates of currency. The
middling and inferior kinds ruled heavy, at, in
most instances, is per quarter less money.
With Barley we were but scantily supplied. Most kinds,
especially grinding sorts, sold steadily at fully the late
decline in value. The Malt trade was in a sluggish
tate at last week's currency. The supply amounted to
,020 quarters. For Oats there was an improved de-

Our market to day was very moderately supplied
with Beasts, the general quality of which was by no
means prime. Most breeds moved off steadily at prices
about equal to those obtained on Monday, and at which
a good clearance was effected. The numbers of sheep
were not to say extensive. Prime old Downs, which
were scarce, sold freely at full rates of currency. Other-
wise the Mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at un-
altered currencies—the top figure was 4s per Blbs.
There was a slight improvement in the sale for Lambs,
but we have no advance to notice in value. Prime small
Calves sold at full prices. In other qualities of Veal
very little was doing. Pigs ruled heavy at our quota-
tions. Milch Cows sold,at from 141 to 181 each, including
their small calf.

at barely the late advance in the quotations. In some

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff POTTER.)
HOOK V. NEALE.
This was an action to recover the sum of 171. 10s.
and interest on a bill of exchange, of which
defendant was the acceptor. A plea of non-ac-
ceptance was put on the record, but there was no attempt
to support it. A portion of the claim was 41. for interest.
The Learned SECONDARY said that he did not take
upon himself to compute the interest.
The plaintiff's attorney said the calculation was under
the mark, in order to save disputes and costs on taxation.
A juror said he would compute the interest himself
before he gave a verdict.
The plaintiff's attorney said that he would take care
not to ask for a verdict for more than was due.
The jury thereupon gave a verdict for the amount
claimed.

SAME V. EDWARS.

This action was against the defendant as indorser of
the same bill. She had pleaded that she did not indo:se,
&c. A summons had been taken out, calling upon her
to admit, before a Judge, that the indorsement was in
her handwriting, but she abided by the plea, in support
of which, however, no evidence was now offered.

The plaintiff's attorney called his clerk to prove that
he went to defendant, who said that the indors, ment was
in her handwriting, and she did not see how she could
" back out of it."

The SECONDARY asked whether the defendant was in-
formed of the object of the witness's calling.
The witness said that he distinctly told her that he
called to ask the question to save expense, and that her
answer would be given in evidence on the trial.
The SECONDARY—When admissions of this kind are
sought, the parties:ought always to be made aware of the
object of the inquiry, or the evidence ought not to be
received. Indeed, under some circumstances Ido not
know that I should not refuse to receive it even then.

The attorney said he could have had more evidence,
but the object was to save expense; and he thought the
course adopted was the most expedient. He could him-
self have given evidence, if at liberty to do so, of endea-
vours to settle the matter.
The Learned SECONDARY said he did not doubt the
testimony of the witness in this case; there was no rea-
son to disbelieve him; but he did not like to see a case
depend so entirely on an admission.
The jury gave a verdict tor the amount claimed.

THE NEW COAL EXCHANGE.
The Lord Mayor and several of the principal members
of the Corporation went yesterday to view the new Coal
Exchange in its progress to completion.
This building, which will, it is believed, be finished in
a month from the present date, has been erected by the
Corporatiori of London, in order to facilitate the trans-
action of the vast increase of business carried on by the
coal trade of the city of London, the former building
which stood on a portion of the new site having been.
found inconvenient and inadequate for the business of
the market.

The new building, which is entirely faced with Port-
land stone, being situated at the corner of St. Mary-at-
hill and Lower Thames-street, presents two principal
fronts in the Italian style of architecture; the main en-
trance forming a circular corner, above, which is a tower
of considerable height, also of stone, and in the same
style of architecture, and containing the principal stair-
case leading to the several stories of the building,
which is of considerable magnitude; the internal ar-
rangements, containing in the centre a circular area,
sixty feet in diameter, appropriated for the meeting of
the merchants and factors, surmounted by a dome, and
about 80 feet in height, formed with cast iron ribs, and
covered with large plates of ground glass, the eye in the
centre, which is 16 feet in diameter, supporting a cupola
of lemon-coloured glass. The dome is erected entirely
in cast iron, ornamented stanchions supporting pro.
jecting galleries, also of cast iron, on a level with the
several stories of the building, and forming the accesses
to the offices to be appropriated for the merchants and
factors, and the various official departments connected
with the business of the market.

The floor of the circular area is composed of 'various
coloured woods in the form of a mariner'sscompass, con-
taining in the centre a shield of the City arms, an anchor,
and other embellishments, the whole encircled by a fret
border, also in woods of various colours. _ _ _

A portion of the decorative part of this floor is formed
with part of an oak tree which had been found imbedded
in the river Tyne, and which had lain there evidently for
several centuries.

The lower part of the dome and other portions of the
interior have been decorated by Mr. Sang with paintings
in encaustic, arranged by Mr. Bunning, the architect of
the building, and representing fossil remains of plants
and other vegetation found in the substance of coal; also
the various implements used by the miners, views of the
various colleries,
,interspersed with other ornaments,
which Mr. Sang and his assistants have executed in a
very skilful and elegant manner.
The remains of the Roman Bath, discovered in exca-
vating for the foundation of the building, have been en-
tirely preserved, and access provided to afford opportu-
nity for its inspection.
The interior of the building contains several hundred
tons of cast iron, ornamented with symbols of the coal
trade.
This handsome edifice has been erected, at a` cost of
about 40,0001., from designs and under the superintend-
ence of Mr. Bunning, the architect to the Corporation,
and is highly creditable to his taste and ingenuity from
its originality and style of construction. Mr. W. Tre,go
is the contractor for the building and Messrs. Dewer for
the iron work. The ornamental floor of the merchants'
area has been formed by Messrs. Davison and Lyming
ton, and seasoned by their patent dessicating process;
and on the completion of the new building, also in course
of erection by the Corporation, at Billingsgate-market,
under the superintendence of Mr. Bunning, these two
structures will rank amongst the leading features of the
metropolis.

THE POTATO CROP.—The accounts which we re.
ceive from all quarters, through private communications
as well as the press, are of a most cheering nature. The
late soft rains have done wonders, we would almost sa,
effected miracles. As an instance in point, we might
mention the fact that several gardens in the immediate
neighbourhood of this city, which last wetk exhibited
every appearance of confirmed and even malignant
uisease, are now blooming and beautiful, new greensprouts
having replaced black and rotten stalks. We
have heard of cases where the disease appeared and dis-
k appeared as many as three times.—Cork Examiner.

THE STATE OF HUNGARY.

To THE RIGHT HON. LORD VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, M.P.
My Lord,—lf I were not fully sensible of the many
responsibilities, and of the gravity of considerations at-
tached to the position of Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
I should not venture to address your Lordship in that
official ehareter. I believe the way of access is ever
open in your Lordship's heart, to convey any sentiments
or opinion which aro advanced for the purposes of en-
lightened policy, or the extension of the interests of
humanity. In no country is opinion so strong as in
this, in no countrys i it so free ; its light is the popular
glory of Englishmen, and the beacon that illustrates the
way of advancement to all the nations of the world. The
sentiments of the people are at this moment awakening
into a general life; the warmest aspirations of humanity
are upon their lips, and they ask from your Lordship a
passport to carry the triumphs of peaceful liberty to
other lands. Your Lordship is looked up to with intense
interest. Every word that is tinted with the hope of a
liberal heart—every generous sentiment that falls from
your Lordship's lips—falls as the dew of H-rmon, re-
freshing and invigorating the enthusiasm that is spring.

ing up in generous minds. Great and free as opiiiion'is
—and opinion has its rights as free—it might be unwise

for every one to trespass his opinions upon the members
of a Government, burdened already with considerations,
and perplexed with heavy responsibilities. Willingly to
perplex the members of a Government is wickedness ex-
treme when many may be sufferers; but it is a pardon-
able kindness to gently remind, when the nation may be
thereby gladdened and thousands reap the advantages.
Your Lordship has now the opportunity to live in the
hearts of the people, and to earn for the name of
Palmerston a palm of imperishable glory. Not that
Fame should tempt, or hold any inducement, through
the path of wrong; but it must be very pleasing when
it is wrought by deeds of magnanimity reflecting
the light of Liberty as it gladdens and dignifies hu-
manity.
Tyranny and freedom are at war in the earth. Might
has become the invader of right. The triumph must be
either to truth or to darkness. Nations must be bound
in arbitrary restrictions, or claim the happy interests of
commercial freedom. Tne feud has commenced, where
shall it end? The night will thicken or the day advance.
The time of despotism is nearly over, or the reign of
terror is coming on. The people must achieve the
triumphs of intelligence, or be disciplined to obedience
by the knout.
In your Lordship's hands are the issues of life and
death. Your Lordship is the dictator of peace or war.
The legions of England watch the wave of your Lord-
ship's banner; they are spirits that love mercy, and their
enthusiasm is, that peace and truth, and justice and
righteousness should be secured to all nations. They
see oppression at work, and they aspire to save the
oppressed, or, to slay the oppressors. Listen, my
Llrd, to the people of England, for their voice is as of
one man.

The fate of Hungary is in your Lordship's hands.
There is a brave people nobly struggling for indefeasible
rights. There too is an iron King—uncrowned—a po
teutate that will not be their constitutional Sovereign, but
their tyrant lord, violating their liberties with his usur-
pation, and desolating their country with his sword.
lie even asks the barbarians to help him; for he finds it
hard to fight against freedom. The barbarians are with
the destroyer; should not the free nations be with the
tree? or shall the bear and the eagle treat as carrion all
the sons and daughters of the fairest inheritances of the
earth? Poland, and Gallicia, and Circassia are in death;
and Hungary, and Italy, and Venice, and Sardinia are
quivering with the touch of a coming desolation. The
destroyer cannot do all at once; but the will is greater
than the present power. Time will serve.
My Lord, the salvation of Hungary is in your Lord-
ship's bands; and with it, too, the destinies of Europe.
And the people of England are in your Lordship's hand
also, to determine the balance. Now is the moment for
the true balance of power, while humanity, and justice,
and light, and liberty will be as gold in the scale. Be-
ware, my Lord, or the beam will be broken, and the
b dance of power be lost for ever.
I know that your Lordship's colleagues might deem
the existence of Austria necessary as a first-rate power,
to stand as a check against another. But does not Aus-
tria herself break the balance, and throw overboard the
faith of other nations, it ahe weakens herself by her per-
fily to her people—or becomes subsidiary to another
power—or enters into secret compact with Russia—
whereby the two great powers become bound together
as one, without a corresponding affiount of friendship,
and faith, and intercourse with other surrounding
nations? If Russia and Austria are as one—even
against her own subjects—where is the balance of power?
Nations that have not surrendered their privileges yet
may reasonably expect to follow in the fate of Poland,
and Gallicia, and Hungary. Shall the enlightened
powers look tamely on the junction of these two darker
powers, while they are making inroads with their pur-
poses of evil? Is policy blind? Is humanity dead?
Surely both policy and humanity declare it is time to check
the destructive or dangerous amalgamations of the two
most despotic empires in the world, whereby treaties be-
come useless, adjustment a dead letter, and Russia and
Austria (the Pluto and Proserpine) the twain in one of
a hell-born incarnation.

My Lord, the balance of power is broken—Austria is
no longer a great power; she is not great enough to rule
the kingdoms within her; she is not great as a Govern-
ment with her own people; she has created distrust in
her own capital, and disarmed her own citizens. Her
people have not the heart to subdue the noble Hun-
garians. What then is Austria as an ally? Who forms
the ally if her people are against her Government and
King? Now, Hungary by her victories might justly
have become another Austria, and a wiser Cabinet might
have blended the sovereignty of Vienna under the sove-
reignty of Pesth. For the Austro-Hungarian domina-
tion is an imperial imposture; while an Hungario
Austrian empire might have sprung forth from the crum •
bled state, and have risen to glory as a power, and have
possessed almost matchless advantages to us as an ally.
You cannot, my Lord, but be aware that there are
many reasons, independent of considerations of humanity,
why England should not be a silent spectator of the
sacrifice of Hungary. Austria is dealing treacherously
with Hungary, and seeking to subvert the guaranteed
privileges of that kingdom. This is a violation of
the laith of nations, a disturbance of the order of
things. Austria calls in Russia to help her
in such violation. What if William IV. had,
or her Majesty Victoria had, seized upon Hanover to
destroy its ancient privileges, and had been defeated by
the Hanoverians, and then had called in the aid of
France or Russia to destroy it as a kingdom; could
England have done so without dishonour? Would
France or Russia have lent aid without some secred ob-
ject? What is the object of Russia? Have we not a
right to know? Have we not a right to thwart that
unholy alliance which virtually destroys the balance of
power in Europe? If it shall be found that Austria has
surrendered her position either in arms or compact, have
we not a right to accept a substitute from among the
kingdoms of her people? We have, also, an undoubted
right to know why Hungary is to be destroyed. We

other's dominions, and perhaps
cause or reason to other powers assigned.
My Lord, these considerations weigh heavily on
the minds of the people. They dread the dark alliance
of two of the darkest powers. They pity, deeply pity,
the Hungarians. They deprecate a war aroused by the
unparalleled perfidy of Austria; a war against the best
part of her own subjects; a war in which another power
takes part iu destroying the liberties and constitutional
rights of a country allied to us, without any cause
assigned to us, or even the formality of a declara-
tion of war to the Hungarians a war most

infamous in its execution, not only a brutal sacrifice
of life, in conflict, in shooting prisoners of war, and
knouting of women, but a wanton destroying of the
green fields of corn, and the homes and the dwellings of

the children of men—a war which intimates a desiin of
Austria and Russia, first, against their own people, and
doubtless might, without much scruple, extend its curses
where the balance of power is sufficiently broken, and
become the destroyer of the liberty around.
The people cannot, without casting off humanity and
all love of liberty, refrain from feeling a great sympathy
for the people of Hungary; nor can they see hew Eng-
land can remain a quiet and indifferent spectator without
greatly compromising her dignity and sacrificing her in-
terest, and lowering the character of the nation for
sympathy and the love of liberty. The fall of Hungary
would be a cause of deep depluration, and it would awaken
great fears of a Cossack progression, detrimental to the
peace and interests of Europe.
My Lord, the fate of Hungary is in your Lordship's
hands. Thousands there are perishing, thousands here
have sympathy, and aspire devoutly for the salvation of
that great country from the power of the destroyer, and
gladly would they see that brave and nob'e nation be-
come our honoured ally in the place of a fallen Austria.

The people of both countries look to you—your own free
people, and the brave, who deserve to be free. The op-
portunity is glorious—the power is your own.
My Lord, arouse the glory of Old England.
Telegraph the following dispatch :—‘‘ I DEMAND
A SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES-till Austria shall
have justified her proceedings—till Russia shall jus-
tify her deeds and intentions—till England shall know the
TERMS on which the Russo-Austrian Alliance has been
effected—till it be seen if Austria has sold her position to
Russia—till it be seen whether there is not a violation of
the rights of nations in the secret Austro-Russian league,
and a necessity for remodelling the `balance of power."
This your Lordship can do, without any undue
offence to any Power ; the right is in the nation to aid
you to do so—policy and humanity imperatively dictate
such a procedure. My Lord, stay the evils of war; fear
not, your demand will succeed; the people will ensure
its results. They will glory if the triumph be one of
peace, and equitable adjustment; but they will not fail to
arm your Lordship with the iron sinews if necessary;
for they cannot but think that it is better to contend for
justice and the rights of others, before liberty be de
stroyed, than to wait for some fresh outrages to be car-
ried nearer to our ()en homes by the destroyers,—where
silence could no longer be kept without shame, nor in-
difference be chelcßhed without dishonour. My Lord.
take courage; listen to the watchword of the people—
" DEMAND A SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES."
I have the honour to be,
Your Lordship's obedient servant,

-ANGULAR I'AcT.—A. pensioner named Haig, re-
siding in Jedburgh, recently received his Peninsular
medal, with seven clasps. Haig received a musket ball
in his thigh in the year 1812, and it is not a little re-
markable that eight days before receiving his medal the
ball dropped out on the opposite side of the thigh, and a
good way below where it entered, thus being in the limb
for 37 years. The ball has been attached by Haig to his
medal.—Caledonian Mercury.

HUNGARIANS A T THE MANSION-

HOUSE.

The following speeches were delivered at the dinner
given by the Lord Mayor on Wednesday to the Irish
Members of the House of Commons, in reply to the Lord
Mayor's proposal of the health of the foreigners who had
honoured him with their presence. They were delivered
after all the reporters had left the hall.
Count TELEKI said—l have been much gratified to
find since my arrival in this country that there is an al-
most universal sympathy for the cause of Hungary. This
has not surprised me, for I was prepared to find that in
this classic land of constitutional freedom an interest
would be felt for the welfare of a nation which in many
of its institutions possesses a great resemblance to your
well-regulated monarchical government. Hungary is
now engaged in a struggle for independence against an
almost overwhelming coalition. I should be wanting in
courtesy to the first Magistrate of London, whose posi-
tion imposes on him a strict neutrality in foreign and
domestic politics, if I were to attempt to enter now upon
the merits of this struggle. Suffice it to say, that my
countrymen are contending only for the same temperate
freedom which you possess in this country, and
which you know so well how to enjoy. If we have been
driven to a resort to arms in the .maintenance of our
rights, it has been only after every effirt on our part to
avoid this terrible extremity had been tried and proved
unsuccessful. Whatever may be the result of that
struggle (and I pray God that he will give the victory
iltoavte expressed forhesideofright my
and justice),
mtheenkind sympathy you
will
their hearts, and be recorded with gratitude sink deepinthe annalsll'
of Hungary.--(Cheers.)
M. Puisicr said—An Hungarian can meet the hospi-
tality and the generous feelings with which this great
nation welcomes him with good conscience; tor, while
it is not easy
.to see how the interests of Hungary, if
God give her strength to get through her present trial,
could clash with those of England, there are a thou-
sand points, and all of vital importance, in which the
interests of the two countries can only go hand in
hand. England is a mighty maritime power, rich in
mechanical skill, whose traders make tributary the
globe; whose manufacturers anticipate the wishes, where
they are allowed to exert their power. Hungary,
.on
the other side, rich in the produce of agriculture, with
a teeming soil and a splendid climate, possesses every
inducement to turn these resources to account, and to ex-
change, under the rule of free trade, the produce of its
fields for the refinement of British industry. There has
been in Hungary an instinctive attachment to England.
We admire the firmness of character, the steadfastness
of purpose, which Englishmen everywhere display. By
all our reforms, both material and moral, the institutions
of England were our Pole star; but few of us have had
the opportunity of judging of the warmth of English
friendship and the heartiness ,of Eaglish hospitality.
The day I trust is not far distant when more intimate
relations than have as yet been practicable will unite
Hungarians and Englishmen as friends and allies in the
battle of civilization against barbarism—when the ties of
interest to which trade invites shall be ennobled by those
of mutual appreciation of merit, and Hungary shall pay
her debt of gratitude to England for encouragement held
out in need, and for aid afforded in distress, with that
fervid esteem aed attachment which makes manly
hearts beat in unison across dividing seas and scorching
deserts.—(Cheers.)

Monday morning. After remaining about tour days at
Dublin, the yacht and vessels will proceed on to Belfast,

business was miserably dull. The same remark may
be applied to the other events to come off next week, the

the master of that vessel, at present lying near the
stairs of the landing place at Woolwich Dockyard, came
on shore and passed through the dockyard gate to his
residence at seven, p.m., on Wednesday, quite well, and
this morning at ten o'clock had ceased to exist, having
been attacked with the cholera so severely that he died
at the latter hour.

The whole of the workmen in the dockyard were
mustered to-day before Commodore Superintendent
Eden, at half-past eleven o'clock, A.M.

COUNTY-COURT JUSTICE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--Y our columns being ever open for the exposure
of public grievances, I beg to lay before you the follow..
ing specimen of judicial intolerance:—
Having discharged one of my men for misconduct, he
claimed an exorbitant sum for some work he had com-
pleted. This I refused to pay, but tendered him the fair
amount. He was exceedingly insolent; threatening, if I
did not comply with his demand, to take out a summons;
which he has since done, at the Westminster County
Court. I accordingly sent one of my men to defend it,
who was perfectly acquainted with the facts of the case.
On the cause being called for hearing, the Judge (Mr.
NfoyMO asked why defendant did not personally appear;
2,10'4. my man telling him it eras impossible—l could
not do so,t,,..,ingseveral engagements, the Judge refused
to hear the meth of the case, and,
"Coming to a remote conclusion at a jump,
Threw at his Lead conviction in the lump,"
and immediately gave a verdict for plaintiff, stating that
as defendant did not appear, he considered that a suffi-
cient proof it was a just debt.
Now, Sir, if such a precedent is established, no trades.
man is safe; as ho has no alternative, but either submit
to any overcharge that may ba made, or waste his t;me
(which to a tradesman is valuable) by waiting probably
a whole day in the precincts of a county court. His
only motive, as far as I can imagine, is to compel the em-
ployment of a solicitor, thereby destroying the grand
feature in the county courts, cheap law.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant, and
CONSTANT READER.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGIMAN.—At
the Cambridge Borough Police-court, on Wednesday,
the Rev. Lionel Buller, late Fellow of King's College,
appeared upon a warrant charging him with having, on
the previous day, threatened to blow out the brains of
George Smith, the porter of King's College. It would
appear that since Mr. Buller's deposition from his fel-
lowship (by the society), which took place some months
ago, a reasonable time has been allowed him to remove
his effects from the rooms he lately occupied. Instead
of doing this, the Reverend Gentleman fastened down
the windows of his room, and put padlocks on the doors.
Eventually the college authorities took forcible posses-
sion and evicted the defendant's goods, at the same
time desiring the officers not to admit Mr. Buller
on the college premises. On Tuesday Mr. Buller
made an entry by the front lodge, in a very excited
state, and was making his way to his former
rooms, when he was stopped by Smith, and requested to
retire. He refused, and then the force sufficient to ex-
pel him was called in requisition. In the course of his
ejection the rev. defendant used the above threat to
Smith, and assaulted the groom. He was then ejected,
and Smith procured a peace warrant against him, which
now came on for hearing. There was an assault war-
rant against Mr. Buller, at the instance of the groom, but
this was postponed until the present case should be de-
cided. Smith's information having been read and sworn
to by him, the Mayor informed Mr. Buller that he must
find sureties for his good behaviour, himself in 1001. and
two sureties of 501. each. Mr. Buller said he had only
4s. Gd. in the world, and that had been taken away at
the police station. The Mayor told Mr. Buller that the
4s. 6d would be returned to him at the gaol, or immedi-
ately, if he found sureties. The reverend defendant
continued talking for some time in a very excited strain,
and at the rising of the court, as sureties were not forth-
coming, he was conveyed to the borough gaol.
SEDUCTION AND SUlClDE.—Yesterday an inquest
was held by Mr. Carttar, at the Telegraph public-house,
Maidenstone-hill, Greenwich, on view of the body of
Rebecca Harvey, a widow, aged 32 years, who, it was
alleged, had met her death by means of poison.. Mary
Coxhead, an aged widow, said the deceased was her
daughter, and had been left a widow about five years.
The deceased was seven months gone in the family way
by a clergyman, and he had refused to do anything to
assist her. Witness was in the country and received a
letter from the deceased, saying she must go into the
union if the reverend gentleman did not assist
her, and the exposure preyed so heavily on her mind
that she feared she should destroy herself. Mr
G. Hatch, surgeon, South-street, Greenwich, said
he had made a post mortem examination of the body,
and discovered a large quantity of oxalic acid in the
stomach ; a cup was found in the room, containing
a minute quantity of oxalic acid and gin, which
he had no doubt was the mixture taken by deceased.
Mrs. Coxhead being recalled, said deceased had lived in
the service of a lady at whose house the Rev. Mr. Dallin
had been in the habit of lodging, and at that house,
after many attempts, the gentleman succeeded in effect-
ing her ruin. Mr. Dallin now resides at Kensington.
Witness had been to that gentleman at Kensington, and
he refused any satisfaction, urging that deceased was a
married woman, and must look to her husband. Saw
Mr. Dallin's sister in the drawing-room, who promised
when the child was born that something should be done
for her. Had been offered 51. to forego all further claim.
Deceased had frequently complained of Mr. Dallin's
rudeness, and witness went to the house and remon-
strated with him. The Coroner recapitulated the evi-
dence; and after remarking that it was clear the poison
had ben procured and administered by the deceased s
own hand, the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary
insanity."
