i.ONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1849.

Mr. COBDEN was at home on Tuesday. He met
his constituents on that clay at Leeds, the very heart
of the widespread manufacturing district of which
he is the chosen representative. It was not merely to
render an account of the manner in which he had dis
charged the important duties confided to his hands
that he addressed the electors of the West Riding.
He had also to receive their assurances of sympathy
and support in the arduous contest upon which he
had entered. He had to take their opinions upon
many points of the most vital consequence to the
welfare and prosperity of the country, and to receive
the tribute of respect and approbation to which the
faithful and conscientious discharge of his Parliamen-
tary duties entitled him. The subjects brought under
the consideration of the meeting would appear to
have been sufficiently ample to absorb its entire
attention during a single sitting. Financial
and Parliamentary Reform, the Land and Building
Society movement, the cultivation of the spirit of
peace, the reduction of warlike establishments, and
the settlement of international differences by friendly
arbitration, were the topics immediately alluded to in
the resolutions and in the advertisements convening
the assembly. Mr. COBDEN, however, was not con-
tented to restrict his eloquence within such narrow
bounds. He touched upon every one of these
matters, but the greater portion of his oration was
directed not to the encouragement of his friends, but
as a warning to his opponents—not for the promotion
and furtherance of the objects desired by the party of
which he is.one of the leaders, but to deter his adver-
saries from attempting to regain the po3ition they
had lost.

The occasion was one upon which a spirit of
exultation might naturally have been indulged in, a
complete victory had been achieved over an enemy
of no ordinary powers, possessed of no trifling
advantages. A hostile majority not merely in the
hereditary branch of the Legislature, but even among
the representatives of the people, had been compelled
to yield to the pressure from without, and to respect
the voice of public opinion. The great and powerful
party that had sustained the corn-laws, and opposed
the progress of Frea•trade doctrines, were broken
and disunited. No rallying-point remained. The
triumph was, indeed, decisive. Under such circum-
stances, it should be enjoyed with moderation, and the
vanquished foe should be treated with respect. But
Mr. COBDEN appears determined not to give the
slightest quarter to his opponents. On Tuesday
evening he returned to his great battle-
field, on which he fleshed his maiden
sword and accomplished feats that shed an undying
glory on his name. Like the Macedonian, he was
intoxicated with his extraordinary success—
., -- He fought his battles o'er again,
And thrice he conquered all his foes,
And thrice he slew the slain."
He scalped his fallen enemies, and executed a war-
dance over their prostrate remains. He did not
attempt so much to convince the reason as to excite
the fears of his adversaries. He breathed the lan-
guage of defiance.; threats, and menaces, issued from
his lips, in place of sound argument and persuasion.
As if the work in hand, the extension of the suffrage,
and the reduction of expenditure were not sufficient,
he invited and provoked a new contest. He repudiated
Irish assistance, and flung the whole body of repre-
sentatives from the sister kingdom en masse to the
Protectionists. This was neither just nor wise. He
should not have forgotten that the Irish Brigade
rendered knightly service in the hour of danger, that
they turned the tide of battle in favour of the Free-
traders, and that a large majority are still in favour
of progress and of the full development of free•trade
principles. The Hon. Gentleman was, therefore,
unirateful, as well as ungenerous, in slighting and
despising the tad that proved so beneficial during a

ITALY.

On the 12th General BARAGUAY D'HILLIEtts
returned to Rome, and the Porn, it was expected,
would return on the 20th.

A new amnesty was talked of.

The Nazionali states that the Pontifical Govern-
ment had succeeded in negotiating a loan of 6,000,000
of scudi, and that all the paper money would be with-
drawn from circulation on the Ist of January.
_ .

Upwards of 150 persons had been expelled from the
Ministry of Finance.
The Legge gives the following as the result of the
elections in,Piedmont :—Conservative Deputies, 116;
Deputies of the Left Centre, 19 ; Deputies of the
Left, 45—in all 180. The elections of Sardinia,
which returned twenty-four members, would, it was
expected, reinforce the Conservative majority.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

.Sittings at Guildhall,beforeLord'ehief Justice WILDE

and a. Special Jury.)
DARIN, ADNINISTRATRIX, V. DROWN AND ANOTHER.

This case, which was part-heard yesterday, was re-
sumed this morning. It will be remembered that it is
an action brought by the widow and administratrix of
the late Mr. Dakin, the eminent tea-merchant, of St.

Paul's Churchyard, to recover a compensation in dama
ges for the loss of her husband, in May, 1843, by the ex-
plosion of a boiler used by him in the roasting of coffee,
which was furnished by contract by the defendants.
After we went to press yesterday, in addition to the facts
which we gave in our report, Mr. Edward John Jefferies
Dixon, on the part of the plaintiff, proved that he was
manager of the Royal Bengal Slate Works, and an in-
timate friend of Mr. .Dakin. Frequently saw the coffee-
roasting machine in question when it was being
,put up
at Mr. Dakin's down to the day of the accident. First
drew Mr. Dakin's attention to the machine. Mr. Henry
Crace superiatended the putting up of the machine at
Mr. Dakin's. Saw a trial of the oven on the 2d of May
with but water, Crace saying it was perfect. It was
found, however, to be defective, there being a leakage at
the ,plugs. This oven was not the one on which the
action was brought. Mr. Crace said he had another
oven at the works which he would substitute for the
defective one. That was on the 2d of May, and
on the sth of the same month the substi-

tuted oven was put up. That was the day
of the accident. The only workman of the de-
fendant's there on the day of the accident was the
mason, who was finishing the work. This was at half-
past ten in the morning, and about half an hour after-
wards one Hannigan came and lighted the fire. Wit.
ness and the deceased, Mr. Dakin, went to the ware-
hcuse together, and remained there until about one
o'clock. There was a thermometer in the oven. They
left about one o'clock, and went to St. Paul's Church-
yard, where witness left Mr. Dakin. Witness returned
with Mr. Dakin to see the machine about three o'clock.
Witness remained until the time of the accident. Han-
nigan took out the internal thermometer, and gave witness
the heat as 483 degrees. Witness examined the external
thermometer, which indicated a heat of 262, and lie
noted down at intervals, upon a pillar in the warehouse,
the difference between the two thermometers. One of
them rose two or three degrees, whilst the other
remained stationary. They proceeded to roast some
coffee, during which witness frequently examined the
machine, but did not notice that the brickwork was
damp. Observed an escape of water when the coffee had
been in about 25 minutes. The water appeared on that
part of the cylinder which had been punched on the day
before. On that occasion the heat was got up, and
there was a small escape of steam at ono
of the plugs, which was closed by a workman
with a centre-punch. Witness objected several times to
the use of the centre-punch. The punching stopped the
jet of steam, and Mr. Crace then declared the machine
perfect, and ordered it to be bricked up. On the day of
the accident witness never loft Mr. Dakin's side, and
during the whole time Hannigan never said anything as
to the unfitness of the work. The escape of water re-
ferred to was about three or four minutes before the
accident. There was a hissing noise, such as a jet of
steam would produce. Witness was standing close by
the side of Mr. Dakin, there being only one person
between them. Mr. Dakin was much alarmed
by the hissing noise, and called out twice
What's that P" and simultaneously the explosion
took place. A large part of the roof was blown off,
and the place was filled with dust and steam. As soon
as they could see they found Mr. Dakin lying apparently
dead. He had fallen backwards, and there was a hole
in his forehead. Witness sent for a medical man, and
he pronounced Mr. Dakin to be dead. The explosion
took place at the same spot in the oven where the water
had previously escaped.
In cross-examination witness said Mr. Dakin gave no
directions on the day of the accident as to lighting the
fire. All that was done was dose by Hannigan and his
assistants. The explosion took place about half-past
three o'clock. Mr. Dakin oPpressed his anxiety to roast
coffee on that afternoon. Ile had not bet witness a bottle
of wine that he would roast coffee on that afternoon,
but he had het witness a bottle of wine that the roasting
would not take more than three-quarters of an hour.
Mr. G. Waterhouse, sen., the father of the plaintiff,
proved that she was about 33 years of age. She had
only one daughter, who was between eleven and twelve
years of age, but Mr. Dakin had another daughter by a
former wite. Ile was about 45 years of age, and a
tine healthy man.
Mr. George Nasmyth, a civil engineer, pronounced
the piece of iron blown off the oven at the explosion to
be badly cast. It was spongy and full of air-holes.
This was the purport of the evidence given from the
time of our going to press yesterday, and the rising of
the Court.
On the appearance of the parties in court this
morning,
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS, counsel for the plaintiff, said
he was happy to say that an arrangement had been
come to which would relieve his Lordship and the jury
from the trouble of proceeding further with the trial, a
verdict for the plaintiff; with 8004 damages, having
been agreed to.
Mr. WATION, the defendant's counsel, coming into
court at that moment, said he was exceedingly happy to
hear the arrangement which had been come to; and he
had to apologise to his Lordship for not being
in court at the time, but ho had been preparing
himself for a speech of three hours' length.
His clients were exceedingly sorry for the sad accident
which had resulted in the loss of Mr. Dakin's life, and
the melancholy bereavement his wife and children had
consequently sustained; and without taking to themselves
any blame for any want of skill or caution in the matter,
still, with a view to exonerate themselves from any blot
which might otherwise rest on their character, they had
consented to the arrangement mentioned by Mr. Sergeant
Wilkins.
His LORDSHIP said he was sure the jury, with himself,
would coincide in that view of the case. Lawyers all
knew that there was a case in the books very similar to
this, in which it appeared that though there was no want
of caution or skill proved against the parties who had
constructed an engine, an explosion, nevertheless, took
place, and caused the accident for which the action was
brought.
A verdict for the plaintiff, for 8001., was then recorded
by consent.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY)
Three young web, the ruddy hue of whose nasal
organs betrayed the secret of a previous night's de-
bauch, were charged with being drunk and making a
noise in the street.

Police-constable F 116, stated that he was on duty in
Bow-street early this morning, when he heard a noise in
one of the neighbouring courts, and on going to see
what was the cause of it, he found one of the prisoners
addressing his two companions and a number of prosti-
tutes in an oracular strain. He requested them to go
away and they did so, but by and bye he found them
again wrangling and disputing with the women. Upon
this occasion he repeated his request that they would go
quietly home, but instead of doing so they grandilo-
quently told him that they were friends of Mr. Daniel
Whittle Harvey, the City Police Commissioner, and
they would not be interrupted in their sports by a mere
constable. The officer told them that their being friends
of the Commissioner was no justification for their con-
duct, and they must either consent to depart in peace or
be conveyed to the station-house. They, however, did
not take this friendly alvice as it was intended,
but rambled into Bow-street and began quarrelling with
a cabman about a dog, when the officer thought it high
time to put a stop to their proceedings, and accordingly
he took them into custody.
Mr. JARDINE asked the prisoners what they had to
say in answer to the charge ?—The spokesman of the
three replied, that what the officer had stated about their
being inebriated was quite correct. The fact was they were
tin-plate workers employed in the same establishment,
and they determined last night to commence spending a
merry Christmas.
Mr. JARDINE told them that they ought to do that
without making a noise in the street.
The spokesman reminded him that they had been
locked up all night, and said that this occurrence should
not happen again if his Worship would look over it.
Mr. JARDINE said it was not very pleasant to be locked
up, and as they appeared to be respectable men he would
take their promise and look over this case.
They were accordingly discharged.

Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness
the Prince Albert have been graciously pleased to
contribute five hundred pounds towards the Fund for
promoting Female Emigration, which is now raising
under the auspices of the Right Hon. Sidney Her-
bert. The liberal donation of the Queen and Prince
was communicated, we understand, in the most cordial
terms.

CAPTAIN SIR JAMES Ross.—The First Lord of
the Admiralty, appreciating the eminently distin-
guished services of Captain Sir James Ross, both as
one of our most successful Arctic and Antarctic ex-
plorers, has awarded to him a vacant captain's good
service pension of 150/, per annum.
Coaorfau's INsicEsT.—This morning, at nine
o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, M.P.,
at the King's Arms, Castle-street, Long -acre, on view of
the body of Maria Wall, aged 63, who died in conse-
quence of injuries alleged to have been inflicted on her
by Catherine Edwards. The witnesses, who were ex-
amined at Bow-street, repeated the evidence which they
had given, and which has already appeared in The Sun;
and Mr. Ely, the surgeon, stated that he had made a post
mortem examination, and found an extensive fracture of
the skull on the right temple, and an abscess had formed
on the brain, resulting from violence likely to have been
inflicted by the stick produced. The jury, after hearing
the evidence, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter"
agaiast Catherine gdwarde,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The solos of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bales, at full prices.—ln Railway Shares only a limited
business was done, at rather higher (potations.
The weekly return of the Bank of England to the 15th
instant is very important again. The bullion, as we
expected, fast verges upon seventeen millions, an unpre-
cedented amount, and this in the face of constant ex-
ports to the Continent. The employment for notes,
nevertheless, has been but little extended, and the extra
accommodation granted on other securities seems to
have been provided for by the increased deposits. The
Bank had no less than 12,184,560/ in unemployed notes,
and altogether is in a position such as we never before
remember to have seen it in. The comparison with the
previous week is as follows:

The accounts received to-day from Manchester state
that an increased business was doing, and that the Indian
letters had given a stimulus. At Leeds and Bradford,
however, the markets were dull.
There are acccounts, of Oct. 22, from Rio de Janeiro.
The Exchange on London was 271, and the Six per
Cent. Stock was 881. Freights to London were 435.,
and to Liverpool nominal. The revolutionists of Per-
nambuco had again been detected in designs to disturb
the public tranquillity, but the Governor was well pre-
pared to crush them.
The Hamburgh mail of Tuesday brings the exchange

in rather more demand. Stocks and Shares had been
more dealt in. A severe thaw had get in and the ice was
partially breaking up on the Elbe.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the week ending Thursday last were as follows :
—Silver coin to Rotterdam, 14,000 ounces, and ditto bars,
56,900 ounces ; to Dunkirk, 135,000 oaneea ; and to
