pressing emergency, and it is not exactly prudent
to cast aside such potent auxiliaries.
Where has the appearance of reaction been ex-
hibited in Ireland, save in the recent election for
Cork,? and many causes there conduced to the
triumph of the Protectionist candidate. Had
Sergeant MVRPHIC, the tried and faithful
representative of the citizens—the man who in 1811
had headed the poll by a large and decisive majo-
rity, and who, while he remained in Parliament, had
earned for himself the approbation of persons of all
shades and varieties of religious and political opinions
—had he, we say, gone to the hustings, he would
have been again returned. But Mr. M'CARTPIT bad
divided the Liberal interest ; he had, by attempting
to evict the late Mr. CALLAGHAN from the seat he had
so long occupied, excited the animosity of the nume-
rous friends of the deceased gentleman, and subse-
quently by his peremptory refusal to let the leaders
of the Liberal party weigh the conflicting
claims of Sergeant Muarur and himself, he
effected a disorganization and disunion as complete
as that which separated the Protectionists. If a va-
cancy should again occur, and Sergeant MURPSIY
should appeal to the suffrages of his fellow-citizens,
we have no doubt that the result would show how
premature and unfounded were the vauntings of the
reactionaries with respect to the state of public feeling
in the " beautiful city."
Mr. COBDEN should not then contemn and despise
Irish aid, or insult a people at all times sufficiently
excitable, but whom recent sufferings have rendered
peculiarly sensitive. He should not have spoken of
the " bankrupt, beggarly, degraded landlords of Ire-
land," or threatened to make an example of the " con
spirators." A man who has appealed so strongly and
successfully to public opinion, who has claimed the ut-
most privileges of Englishmen for his own party, should
not be intolerant of the opinions of others, or estab-
lish the precedent of proscribing those who differ
from himself, or silencing them by the power of
what then indeed might be termed a tyrant majority.
If such tactics had been adopted in the commence-
ment of his own career he would not now have
been enabled to boast of a bloodless victory. He
should not cast aside the weapons that proved so
effective in the former contest, resort to those of
despots and oppressors, and expose himself to the
charge of arrogant self-sufficiency.

We would direct the particular attention of our
readers to the interesting proceedings at the annual
soirée of the 'East Riding
,Union of Mechanics' In -
stitutions, which was held on Wednesday evening at
Beverley, a report of which appears in another
column. The speech of the Rev. J. ASPINALL is
particularly worthy of attention. It is one of the
most eloquent and most convineing vindications
ever presented to the public of the proceedings
from first to last of the champions of the holy cause
of Popular Education—that cause, the successful
prosecution of which after ages will consider as the
distinguishing glory of the nineteenth century, which,
to use the eloquent words of Mr. ASPINALL, " found
the fabric of society based upon the ignorance, and
will leave it resting upon the intelligence of the masses
of the people."

TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

Th.s National Assembly on Thursday adopted the
first clause of the Government measure on the wine
duties, which abrogates the decree of repeal of the
19th May last by a majority of 379 to 230.
M. DILLON, the French Consul at the Sandwich
Islands, has had interviews with the President of the
Republic and with the Minister of Marine.
The Patrie says,—
" By a decree of the 14th inst., issued in council by
the President of the Republic, and on a report of the
Minister of Finance, the Council of State has had sent
before it a Bill on the savings banks. This Bill, drawn
up by an Administrative Commission, will be very
shortly presented to the Assembly. Its object is to re-
gulate, conformably to the decree of November 21,
1848, the mode to be followed with regard to the com-
pensation granted to the holders of books of deposit,
and to determine the future conditions of the deposits."

The Committee appointed to consider the demand
of the Finance Minister for a provisional credit of
three-twelfths of the budget for 1850 has reported
unanimously in favour of the measure.
The National Assembly has adopted in its
entirety the Ministerial proposition for re-enacting
the tax upon wine by a majority of 179, the numbers
being for the motion 418, against it 245.
The Archbishop of PARIS has suspended the Abbi
CIIANTOME from the exercise of his clerical functions
in consequence of his having undertaken the direction
of a democratic journal in Paris. The Porn, in a
letter addressed to the Archbishop of Pains, has
approved of the measure adopted by his Grace.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs has given orders to
all Consuls and diplomatic agents on leave in Paris to
return immediately to their post.
The drawing of the lottery for the benefit of the
French artists took place on Thursday at the Jardin
d'Hiver. The first ticket drawn was No. 514, which
entitles the fortunate holder to the statue of Sappho
by PRADIEB, of solid silver, and valued at 20,000 f.
M: LEON FAVRE, brother of M. JULES FAVR➢,

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
,Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE
and a Special Jury.)

DAKIN, ADMINISTRATRIX, v. BROW N- AND ANOTHER.

This case, which was part-heard yesterday, was re-
sumed this morning. It will be remembered that it i-
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 damn
ges for the loss of her husband, in May, 1848, 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. Da.kin'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. Dakis's. Saw a trial of the oven on the 2d of May
with hot 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. Tbat 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 he
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 one
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. Grace then declared the machine
perfect, and ordered it to be bricked up. On the day of
the accident witness never left 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 ?' and simultaneously the explosion
took place. A large part of the roof was blown off,
and the place was tilled 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-oxaminatien 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 expressed his anxiety to roast
coffee on that afternoon. He had not bet witness a bottle
of wine that he would roast coffee on that afternoon,
but ho had bet 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 wife. He was about 45 years of age, and a
fine 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 Wimuris, counsel for the plaintiff, sail
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 8001. damages, having
been agreed to.

Mr. WATSON, 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 he had been preparing
himself for a speech of three hours' length.
His clients were exceedingly sorry for the sad accident
which bad 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 men, the ruddy hue of whose nasal
organs betrayed the secret of a previous night's de-
bauch, were charged with being drunk and making e
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 advice 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 bad 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. JAZDINE 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 ease.
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.
CORONER'S 'marEsr.—This morning, at nine
o'clock, ari inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, M.P.,
at the King's Arms, Castle-street, Long-acre, on view of
the body of
i 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"
against Catherine Edwards.

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,
sod 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 Foreigh Exchanges were rather more favourable
yesterday afternoon, being negotiated for three months'

Many useful compilations for the man of business are
issuing from what we may term the City press just at
this period. The Diaries in every form and shape, by
Messrs.Letts and Son, stand foremost, and the " Banking
Almanack" is specially to be commended to the class for
whom it is intended.
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. 92, from Rio de Janeiro.
The Exchange on London was 27k, and the Six per
Cent. Stock was 88i. 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 nail of Tuesday brings the exchange
on London without alteration, via., 13-91. Money was
in rather more demand. Stocks and Shares had been
more dealt in. A severe thaw had set 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, 133,000 ounces ; and to
Belgium, 17,800.
The English Funds have been firmer, but quite inac-
