LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 10.
;Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief
Justico DENMAN ant a Common Jury.)
COOPER V. BLOXAI4.

Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Bovill appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr.Byland for the
defendant.

Mr BOVILL, in the absence of Mr. Martin, stated the
ease to the jury, and raid this action was brought to re-
cover certain penalties which the defendant had incurred
under the Stock Jobbing Act, the 7th George 11., c. 8.
The Bth section of the Act imposed a penalty of 500 L
apon any person who should sell any stock of which he
was not actually possessed. and then enacwd that i any brok,r or agent should negotiate a contract for the sale
of any such stock, knowing that the seller was not actu-
ally possessed of the same, he should be liable to a Pe-
:l illy of 1001. for each tffence, one half to go to the Qieen
and the other half to the person who should sue fur the
:amo. The defendant was now sued for having acted as
an agent in violation of his sec' ion of ;he Act. The de-
claration contained s-viral counts, setting out several dis.
tinct transactious to a I age amount, which the del', ndant
had negotiated tor a parson named the Rev Rol•er.
Cooper, the brother of the pr. sent pkit.tiff.

ielendant was not a member of• the Stock Exchange, but
was one of a elass of pers ms who were called " alliva-
tons." These p, rsuns exercised their v•lcacion in the
sicinity of the Exchange, and, like alligators, they some-
!flues preyed upon their victim ; but whether the tie-
iendant was an "alligator" in this sense would be seen
by the evidence. The Robert Cooper was a clerk
in holy orders, and form--rly held a curacy in Wiltshire,
but he had been completely ruined by the course into
which the defendant had led him. He had either paid
or given security to the defendant to the extent of
4,000/ and had given up his curacy. The friends of the
Rev. Mr. Cooper filed a bill in Chancery against the de-
fendant, the object of which was to mike him disgorge
some of the money which he had recuived, and to stop
the circulation of certain bills, to the amount of LOON.,
which Mr. Cooper had accepted. In the bill in Chan-
cery the defendant was asked when, and from whom he
had purchased certain st,,ck, to which he had answered
that his answer would expose him to penalties under the
Stock Jobbing Act. He could not, therefore, complain
of the present proceedings, which had been instituted by
the friends of Mr. Cooper, who felt that he was bound to
come into the witness- box and state the whole of the facts.

The Rev. Robert Cooper was then examined by Mr.
MARTIN—IIe said, in the year 1846 I became acquaiated
with the defendant. I was introduced to him by Mr.
Youngmichael. The defendant was an agent. He bad
the seat of an office at No 6, Spread Eagle-court, near
Threadneedle-street. The office belonged to Mr. West,
who af!erwards gave it up to Mr. Crook. Soon after I
was introduced to the defendant I had transactions with
him in buying and selling stock. That began in the year
1847. Claims were made from time to time for diffe-
rences, which he said I owed him. The result was, I
gave several bills of exchange in respect of the alleged
differences. (The bills of exchange were here called for
by the plaintiff, but not produced by the defendant.)
The amount of differences was about 1,5001. I paid the
defendant some amount in cash; that was about 4001.
In December, 1848, I was in London; I was not at that
time possessed of 60,0001. consols. I never had any con-
sols. I should say the defendant was aware of that. I
gave the order by word of mouth, in the office, I believe.
I ordered him to sell 60,000/. stock. He left the office,
and was absent about ten minutes. On his return he
gave me the contract. This is the document. It is in
the defendant's handwriting. (The paper was then put
in and read as follows :

" London, Dec 29, 1848.
" Sold for the Rev. Robert CJoper 60,0001. Consols, at
88k, for the 16th of December.

" WILLIAM BLOXAM.")
On the 24 of January I gave him an order to sell more
stock. The amount ova was 20,000/. I had no Con-
sols. The defendant left the office, and on his return he
gave me a c mtract. This is it :—(The paper was then
put in and read, as follows:

or) 1d
tfhoer tlh6othßoefv.
Jnoublerryt :C‘ oLoopnedro2n,o ,0j010"!.. CW1,0.n15138.041;,),. t
I had no Consols. It was a mere time bargain. I had
to pay the diff-renee on the 16th. On the 23d of Ja-
nuary I gave the defendant an order to buy; that was in
his office, or somewhere about. He gave the this paper
as the advice note of the buying.—(The bought note for
50,0001. was here read.) Oo the same day I gave him
directions to buy 80,000/. '2onaols. The defendant af-
terwards gave the a memorandum of the difference.--
(The memorandum v.a4 here put. in and read, stating
the witness's 1035 to be 6901 155.) No transfer was made
of stock.

Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury for the defen-
dant, and contended that there was no sufficient evidence
to show that the defendant knew that Mr. Cooper was
not possessed of the stock in question. The jury must
be satisfied that the defendant knew that fact before he
could be made liable to the penalties imposed by the Act.
Mr. Cooper himself admitted that he had paid the differ-
ence when it was in his favour, and now, when his
speculations had proved unsuccessful, be sought to make
the defendant answerable.

Lord DENMAN then summed up the evidence to the
evidence
fourth; and there was also evidence that the defendant
was an agent within the meaning of the Act of Par-
liament. His Lordship rematked, that be had never
before tried an action founded on this Act of
Parliament, and expected at first that there might be
some difficulty about it. It turned out, however, to
be a very simple thing. The parties had made a bar-
gain, and agreed to pay the difference; and the ques-
tion was, on the third and fourth omnts, whether the
deters la,nt had made the contract, as alleged, with the
knowledge that Mr. Cooper was not actually possessed
of the stock. No doubt it was a very improper proceed-
ing on the part of Mr. Cooper, who was a clergyman,
,nd any thing but creditable to him ; but the simple
question now was, did the defendant know that Mr.
Cooper was not possessed of the stock ? In the case of
receiving stolen goods, it was tufficient to convict the re-
cetver if at the time of receiving the goods he had the
conviction that they had been stolen, and they turned
out to have ben so ; and so in this case, if the jury,
knowing that. Mr. Cooper had no stock, should believe
that the defeLdant was aware of that circumstance, he
night be c,..nvicte,l in these penalties. There was some
evidence that the defendant had knowledge of that fact,

for the witness had said, in answer to a question on the
aultj•ct, hi-Will(' say the defendant was aware of tha.t."
rho sufficiency of that evidence, howev,r, wa3 fur the
ho could judge frcm all the circumstances whether
the defendant must have known that Mr. Cot.per was nut
actually possessed of the stuck the sale of which he (the
efendatit) had negotiated.
The jury then found a verdict far the plaintiff, which
a: • to;:iy .ntered in his favour, with a penalty of
lON. on the third count, and a penalty to the same atnouut
on trio luurth count.

This was the last day of the sitting at nisi Arius.
July 11.

The Court sat this motritug at Westminster, for the
pu pose of delivering judgmtnt in several cases which
stuod over for consideration.

JUDGMENT AT FAULT.

Lord DENMAN, at the sitting of the court, said tha►
their Lordships had fallen into a mistake in naming this
day for the delivery of judgments, the- Act of Parlia-
ment not giving any authority to the Court to pronounce
iudgment unless on those days in the vacation on which
Nisi Prius Sittings were held. The intention of the
Court, when it named this day for the delivery of judg-
ments was, that they should take effect if pronounced
in last term; but that effect would not, it now appeared,
attach to them as a matter of law; and, except by con-
sent of the parties, they could not take effect as judg-
ments before next term. The Court would, however,
now deliver them, leaving the consideration of the mat-
ter open to parties for agreement as to whether they
should be considered as judgments of last term.

THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTER.

In this case an application had been made to the
defendants, magistrates of Gloucester, to make an
order of maintenance on the putative father of an ille-
gitimate child. The application bad been once heard,
and dismissed, on the ground of the absence of cor-
roborative evidence. Subsequently, another summons
had been taken out for a re-hearing, but was dis-
missed by the justices on the ground that the cause had
already been disposed of. A rule for a mandamus
was then obtained, calling on the defendants to
show cause why they refused to hear the application,
he party being prepared to offer additional evidence.
That, in tact, was the question raised for the opinion of
the Court. It had been contended that no second hear-

ing, in cases of this description, could be permitted; but
the Court was of opinion that the 7th and Bth Victoria,'
c. 101, gave the mother of a bastard child a remedy
similar to that which existed under the previous law in
tavour of parishes against a person charged as the puts-
jive father of an illegitimate child. Looking at the
statute, the reasonable construction of it seemed to the
Court to be that there should be a second hearing, even
itiough the case had been disposed of at the first hear•
ing, upon the merits, it being open to the magistrates
to treat the new evidence with great caution. The
Court, then, was of opinion that the magistrates were not
warranted in refusing to hear the case, and the rule for a
msndamu' must therefore be made absolute.

HALRETT V. THE DIRECTORS OF THE lIERCIIANT
TRADING AND SHIPPING ASSOCTATI,N.
_

This was an action to recover damages on an in.
urance effected on a vessel in the company of which the
defendants are .directors, and resulted in a 'verdict
for the plaintiffs. Judgment was entered on
that verdict for a sum of 1,0741. 16s. 8:1. Exo
cation was subsequently issued against the company.
of whose body Earl Talbot was a member; and on the,
execution failing of being satisfied, a rule was ub
tamed calling on Earl Talbot to show cause why execu-
tion should not issue against his property, in order to
make good the sum claimed by the plaintiff. The ground
on which the rule was obtained was, that Earl Talbot
was a large shareholder in the company, to the extent of
1,000 shares, at 501. each, which he took when Lord In.
g Are, and on which he paid a sum of 1751. On the
execution against the company 's goods having failed, the
plaintiff issued a fiat, and the company was declared
bankrupt, plaintiff being appointed assignee. The debt.
of the company amounted to 60,0001, of which 54,800/.
had been proved. To meet those debts, there were only
assets to the amount of 8,0001. The directors kept out
of the way, and the plaintiff therefore applied for leave
to issue execution against Earl Talbot. The Court
having heard the arguments of counsel in the case, took
time to consider.

Lord DENMAN now went over the 'facts of the case,
and pronounced that the plaintiff was 'precluded, by the
form of his policy, from having recourse against the pro-
perty of the individuals of the company to satisfy his
c:itim. The judgment of the Court, therefore, was, that
the rule must be discharged, with costg.

BEAUME, BROTHERS, V. RICKETTS.
The rule in thi3 case way discharged.
JENKINS V. HuTCHINSON.

Lord DENMAN delivered judgment i❑ this case. The
question at issue was, whether the defendant could be
sued, who had signed a charter-party note under sale,
as agent, without having authority to bind his prin-
cipal. The Court was of opinion that the party who exe-
cuted an instrument in the name of another, he only
acting as agent for the other, could not be sued on the
instrument,

• COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 10.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE
and a Special Jury.)
BARRY v. HILL.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, s ship-
owner and broker, carrying on business in Nicholas
lane, in the City, against the defendant, a merchant at
Liverpool, and surviving partner of the firm of Sniith
and Hill, of Liverpool, to recover a sum of 5,5971., for
certain information and services supplied and rendered to
the defendant.

Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr.
Montagu Smith were counsel for the plaintiff, and Sir
Frederick Thesiger, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Channel), and
Mr. Cowling for the defendant.
It appeared that the plaintiff was a gentleman particu-
larly cognizant of the effect of the different tariffs and
rates of duties upon articles importel into this country,
and having noticed that the duty charged upon paddy,
or rough rice, was higher than ought to be taken ac-
cording to the different treaties, he communicated his
Information to the defendant's firm, stipulating for
one-third of the profits which should arise from the
discovery. They avaihd themselves of the information,
and ultimately, by the exertions of the plaintiff in
their behalf, large profits were realised. The firm
then refused to acknowledge the claim of' the plaintiff,
and this action was brought against the defendant
to recover such share, and for compensation for the
time and labour bestowed by the plaintiff in securing
such profits. It appeared that in the year 1815, by a
convention between this country and the United States
of America, subsequently followed by others, continuing
it for c:•rtain periods, and ultimately by a treaty in 1827,
continuing it in force until further notice, it was stipu-
lated aat no higher duties should he levied on the pro-
duce of the United Sates imported into Enghsod than
were levied on the produce or manuFactures of other
foreign countries. This was confirmed by subsequent
statutes, and remained in force at the time of the agEee-
mut betty en the pugs'. 13y a statute passed is the

fe-A 4th William IV. a duty of 2s. 6d. per bushel was
diteefed ohe levied upon rough rice, but if imported
fr en A Vritish possession the duty was to be oely
per quarter. By a statute of the 6th and 7th William
IV. the lower duty was extended to Western Africa ge
nerally, whether British possession or not. Mr. Barry,
the plaintiff, whose attention had been directed to these
matters, discovered that when the last-mentioned statute
extended the lower duty to Western Africa generally,
the same privilege of the treaty of 1815 belonged to the
United States, and that a duty of Id. per quarter ought
to be paid upon rice imported from that country, in-
stead of 2s. 6d. per bushel,'Svltich was then paid. There
were only four houses in England engaged in this par-
ticular trade—Messrs. Foster and Smith, and Messrs.
Ewbanks and Co., of London; and Messrs. Simpson and
Co., and the defendants, Messrs. Hill and smith, of
Liverpool. The plaintiff determined to try whether his
view of the law was correct, and entered into communi-
cation with Messrs. Foster and Smith, offering to ac
quaint them with' a very profitable secret upon certain
terms. Tbe negotiation was 'conducted through a gen-
tleman named Coleman, and' a letter was signed by
Messrs. Foster arid Sniitl, agreeing to alloW the plain-
tiff one-third of the picifits derivable from the.communi-
cation. A similar agreement was afterwards entered
into with Messrs. Ewbanks and Co. The plaintiff then
sent his brother with the letters signed by Meisrs. Foster
and Smith, and Messrs. Ewbanks and Co.' to Messrs.
Simpson and Co. and the defendants, of Liverpool, re-
questing them to agree to the same terms, viz , to allow
the plaintiff one-third of the profits, if the secret should
turn out advantageous.' The 'defendants said they had
no objection to the terms proposed. The plaintiff did

of thi terms agreed to by those firms. The plaintiff then
proceeded to try the experiment, and accordingly im-
ported a cargo of rough rice from Charlestown, but the
higher duty was charged by the officers of the Customs.
The defendant, likewise, upon the advice of the plaintiff;
imported a cargo, upon which the higher duty was also
charged. The plaintiff then memorialised the Commis-
sioners of Customs, without success, and afterwards he
memorialised the Board of Trade, but with no better
success. In order then to obtain the assistance and in-
tervention of the American Government, he procured a
cargo of paddy to be imported into this country in the
name of Junius Smith, an American citizen, and again
the higher rate was charged by the Custom-house au-
thorities. He then applied to Mr. Stephenson, the
American Minister, by whom the question was laid
before the Government, and the plaintiff also caused it
to be mentioned in the House of Commons; and ulti-
mately, by means of the most untiring and unceasing
exertion, the plaintiff succPeded in obtaining the ad-
in6sion of rough rice from America upon payment 01
the lower rate of duty upon the deposit of Exchequer
bills for the difference, and whien, by the unwearied
exertions of the plaintiff, were afterwards given up,
arid the personal bonds of tho plaintiff and the
defendant were accepted. All these proceedings were
from time to time communicated by the plaintiff to the
defsnlant, who invariably acted upon the information
received, and a great many letters passed between the
parties, from which it would appear that the plaintiff
was acting as the agent of the defend•int in the negotia-
ti,n wieh Government. The plaintiff never ceased in his
endeavour, with the British Geverument, and, at the ex-
eitatiou of kix years, after the most untiring activiy
end unremitting elo rtions, he ultimately succeeded in
obtaining a Treasury minute, dated August 6, 1842,
whereby the bonds were ordered to be cancelled w hide
had been given to secure the higher duty, and thus the
Exchequer-bills for securing the higher duty upon the
cargos s already imported by the defendant having been
returned, the den ndant found himself a gainer to the
extent of about 12,0001.; but although Messrs. Foster
and Smith, as was stated, had honourably fulfilled the
agreement which they had entered into, the defendant
refused to acknowledge the services of the plaintiff. A
great number of official witnesses were then called, and a
mass of documentary evidence was put in, which
concluded the plaintiff's case.

Sir FREDERICK MERGER then submitted that there
was no case to go to the jury upon the special count,
and made several objections, two of which the Learned
Judge thought were sustained, viz.:—lbt. That there
WAS a variance between the contract laid in the declara-
tion and the one proved, the promise laid in the declare-
titn being that the contract should be new to the de-
fendant, whereas the promise proved was that it should
be new to the trade, or at least to Messrs. Ewbanlyand
Co. and the defendant. Idly. That the communication
was not a valuable one; on the contrary, it was false and
untrue; for, although there was in force a convention
between this country ani America guaranteeing the im-
portation of paddy at the low duty, such convention, un-
confirmed by Act of Parliament, bad not the force of
law, and the Custom-house authorities would not be
warranted in levying only the lower duty. The
Learned Judge was then about to leave the question to
the jury upon the common counts for work /hid labour,
Bcc.. when the parties intimated that a compromise might
be effected, which was then agreed to as follows :—lt
was agreed that inasmuch as there were four actions
pending against different houses in the paddy trade for
the same cause, a sum of 11,0001. should be accepted as
the sum due from them altogether, and in the present
action the verdict should be take❑ for 2,7001. as the de-
fendant's share, without costs.
This was the last day of the sittings.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, July 11.
A special meeting in bauco for the delivery of judg-
ments by consent had been appointed for to-day, but at
the usual hour for meeting, a message was received from
Mr. Baron Parke that he had been obliged to go down
to his circuit, and that some of the other Judges having
also to leave town for a► similar purpose, it was impos-
sible to form a court.

CONSISTORY COURT, July 11.
(Before Dr. Lushingtun.)
HALL V. HALL.

Dr. ADDAMS applied to the Court for a divorce, it
being a suit promoted by the wife, Mrs. Georgians
[lull, against her husband for adultery. The parties
were married on the 11th September, 1848. Mrs. Hall
at the period was staying with a friend of htr family, a
Mr. Penstord, when she met with Mr. Hall, and to
whom she was clandestinely marri-d ; she afterwards re•
turned to her father's house, and they never cohabited
together. In February, 1849, they met at Boulogne,
where they occupied the same chamber as man and
wife. Some time after this they a prated, and Mr. Hall
afterwards cohabited with a female of the name of
datotador, f. r which Mrs. Hall now sought for a di-
vorce, which he (Dr. Addams) had no doubt but, the
Court would grant.
Tne Learned JuDGE said he had no hesitation in
granting the divorce as pray.d; there appeared no op
plsition to tho suit.
SAUNDERS v. SAUNDERS.
This was an application made to the Court to pro-
nounce Mr. Saunders, the party in the suit, in con-
t.-rapt, for not having paid the alimony as arded to Mrs.
Saunders.
Mr. Saunders appeared in person. He stated his posi-
tion at the present moment was very diff.-rent to what
it was when the alimony was granted to his wife. He
said he was ready to obey the order of the Court, but he
had lost all his West India property, and his family
affairs were in Chancery. His wife had ample means of
her own, but he was sorry to say the money he had
allowed as alimony, and was for the support of his chil-
dren, was very improperly disposed or. His son bad
been sent to St. Petersburgh fqr.no other object than the
waste of his money and his time ; but whatever the
Court ordered he would obey its direction.
The LEARNED JUDGE said he had no power to alter
his previous judgment; whatever was due urvier the head
of alimony must be paid; and if Mr. Saunders's circum-
stances were changed, he must apply to the Court for
relief in another form.

KING V. KING.
This was an application made to the Court for a
divorce on the ground of adultery. ,The suit was pro.
moted by the Hon. Mr. Robert King against his wife,
Mrs. Ann Gore King. for having committed adultery
with the Viscount St. John.

Drs. Jenner and Bay ford were heard in opposition to
the allegations. Dr. Haggard and Dr. Harding in sup-
port of them. _ _

The Learned JUDGE in going over the allegations ad-
mitted many, but ordered the 28th allegation to be
amended.

HARTLEY V. HARTLEY.

Dr. ADDAmssaid this was a suit for a divorce, pro-
moted by the husband against his wife for having com-
mitted the act of adultery with a Mr. Thompson, an
engineer on one of the railways. The act was, said to
have been committed at Liverpool, where Mr. Thompson
took a house for the purpose of carrying on the illicit
intercourse with Mrs. Hartley.
There was no opposition to the suit.
The Learned JUDGE, in consequence, signed the di.
vorce.

CHESNUT V. CHESNUT.
This was a suit promoted by the Rev. Mr. Chesnut,
late curate of St. Peter's, Walbrook, and Trinity Church,
Newington, against his wife for restitution of conjugal
rights. The parties were married on the 4'h Dec., 1832,
Mrs. Chesnut having a fortune of 10.000/. as a marriage
portion, and there were five children, the fruits of the
marriage.
Dr. WADDELoVE, on the part of the wife, stated the
lady for whom he appeared had to complain of a con-
tinued course of cruelty which had been pursued towards
her by her husband from so early a period as five
months after her marriage, and that was continul d until
the period of her separation from him in March, 1848.
He was in the habit of associating with low and aban-
doned characters, frequently striking her, and applying
offensive terms to her, and, in conclusion, dissipated the
while of her handsome fortune, loaving her and her
children to beggary; she was, therefore, compelled to
reek the protection of the Court, who, he was sure.
noald not retwe to grant her the separation from her
bushar,d which she now sought.
Dr. IlowAap was heard on the part of the reverend
gentler:34n.
The Learned JUDGE said he had listmed with great
atra-ution to the arguments in this very larnyntable case,

The weather was again delightfully fine, and the an-

a vast assemblage of spectators, who evidently expe-
rienced considerable gratification.
The rowing commenced at half-past three, with the
decision of the dead heat, recorded in our last impres-
sion, for the Coat, Badge, and Freedom, the gift of Mr.
Evan Morris.

As this is one of the races that bring out the best
young watermen of the year, it is of course looked to
with no inconsiderable degree of interest by those who
are really admirers of the art of rowinz. The race was
a ♦ery good one. It is said to be " Chitty's practice ",
to open with a rattling start, and the winner did so
in the present instance so effectually as to succeed in his;
cause.

They effected a capital start, and were all scull and
scull for a few strokes, and then the two first-named
drew slightly ahead of their opponents; but it was so
good a race that they were unable to shake them off for
come distance. Northman then gradually drew the nose
ol his boat about a couple of yards in advance of Mar-
t,h,tu, who, off the committee-barge, gave symptoms of
picking him up. Berry, who had been fouled shortly
atter the start, was unable to repair the disadvantage
occasionrd by his misadventure. As the leading boats
n ,arid the Crab-true, !Worsham put on a fine spirt and
brought the nine of his boat up to that of Northman's,
but was unable to mend his advantage, and was finally
beaten by three lengths.

With a view to encourage emulation amongst parsons
of all classes, and to hold out an inducement to provincial
crews to enter the Hats at this regatta, it was determined
by the committee that crews should be eligible to
enter both iu the Champion and this race; the winner
of the former of course prohibited; and to compen-
sate the provincials for any expenses incurred in
coming to London, it was further determined that
the sums of 151., 101., and 51. should, in addition to
the other prizes, he awarded to them, as either first,
second, or third, if either occupied those positions at
the finish. Notwithstanding the rowing of the previous
day there were a number of persons who appeared to
think the Durham crew would give their opponents their
work to do; but the general opinion was is favour of
the Claspers (not the same as rowed with the Coombes,
but their brothers) and Sheppard's crew, but there was
much diversity of opinion upon the subject.
The appearance of the men was extremely confident,
and the expectations• of a good race were not disap-
pointed. It was a splendid start, and they were oar and
oar with one another for the first three minutes, when
the Wandsworth crew began to peep out in front, closely
waited upon by the Durham, who in thenext few strokes
had a foot in advance of the Wandsworth party, and in
this order they passed the committee-barge, when the
winners went to work in gallant style, shot right ahead,
and came in first by a length and shalt in advance, alter
a struggle of the must gallant and lasting description.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
It is at once surprising and gratifying to observe the
crowds who flock daily to this noble temple of practical
science, to enjoy the vast treasures of instruction and
entertainment which are presented here, notwithstand-
ing the innumerable temptations to out•of-door amuse-
ments scattered at this season in every direction,
throughout the sylvan menageries, the public conserve-
' furies, and the histrionic gardens around the metropolis;
and it is a matter of great credit to the management of
the institution that the ventilation and temperature are
so agreeably regulated in the thronged halls, galleries, and
theatres of the institution, during the tropical heat
which ha, prevailed fur some days. At no period have
the varied lectures been more attractive or instructive,
and the successive audiences appear, from month to
month, advancing in the intelligence and interest with
which they attend to them. This, of course, must in
some measure be accounted for by the acknowledged
improvement of the public taste in the appreciation of
the most refined sources of pleasure; but still very
much is due to the singular excellence .of the
Polytechnic proftssurs, in the clearness and . sim-
plicity of their discourses, which render -lhekraost
recondite hurren4 popular, and the most abstruse
science iffiellrgible even to the child. The surpass-
ing merit ot Dr. B ,chhoff,,er in this respect is suffietently
welt- known to our readers, and it is only those who
frt quently attend his lectures that can do justice to the
,asy good humour and temperate gaiety with which he
ena niivens the driest subj-cts, and the utluboured eloquence
of diction with which be untblds the riches of science to
his charmed auditorics. Ills example, and that of his
Ike highly gifted coadjutor, Dr. _Ryan, seem to a great
degree to influence the several professors who are from
time to time associated in the grand objects of the esta-
blishment. The principal subject of Dr. Baehhoffeer's
present series of lectures is the production of artificial ice,
and the experiments with which they are illustrated very
much Kirpa,s in beauty and interest anything that could
be anticipated. The process which the Learned Pro•
lessor has to explain is the invention of Mr. Masters, of
Reg, nt•streat, confectioner, who is known to the public
as a mechanical inventor of great success end ingenuity,
of which his knife-cleaning and sharpening apparatus is
a very remarkable and useful example. The freezing
invention is likely to exceed very far indeed moat Others
of the day in its hitherto unthought-of utility, for, as we
have heard a philosophic auditor of Professor 13achhoff-
ner's observe, last evening in the lecture-room, " we may
soon expect to see Mr. Masters adapt the principle of
these apparatus t) the reduction of temperature in hos-
pitale, and in the mansions of tropical climates, so that
the British East Indian may enjoy at Calcutta the re-
freshment of his present sanatorium on the lower
Himalayas!" About thirty years ago Professor Leslie
produced a freezing apparatus by which he oonfidently
predicted that we should be able to produce ice on a
large scale in the hottest climates of the globe. But, al-
though his apparatus was perfectly successful in fact, yet it
was found more expensive or less convenient than the
application of natural ice to the ordinary purposes of the
confectioner, and the butler, and eten of the physician,
who seems to have been but little thought of in relation
to this subject, until the benevolent genius of Masters
included suffering humanity in his inventive contempla-
tions. Leslie's apparatus never came into use. Natural,
or as it is called technically, " rough" ice, continues to
be the great refrigerator, and not only temperstmaiw4.
southern Europe, but Egypt, India, and even
ceive largo and expensive supplies from North A4Pirallit
so that the ice trade has been a staple brartelz•of
American commerce, which, however, is destined to re-
ceive at least a check from this important invention; fur
it is demonstrated that four quarts of pure spring
water are converted into solid chrystal ice, whilst,
in the same process, and simultaneously, that is,
in four minutes, two quarts of dessert ice ready
mixed, and flavoured with cherry, lemon, ginger, or
what you like, may be productd, at the expense of
less than one penny, and kept cold and firm on the
table for hours, on the hottest day—in Calcutta or Hong
Kong Masters' apparatus for the purpose is a small
rotary churn, worked easily by a child, costing but little,
and scarcely larger than a common tea-urn. Besides
this, all the varied apparatus of Masters for supplying
and applying ice, exhibits d by Dr. Bachhoffner, are of the
most elegant forms, and of no more than the die:hoary
bulk of the decanters, basous, jugs, and other ornaments
of the table and sideboard. One very beautiful vessel,
about the size of the ordinary fumed affixed for a moment
to the neck of a decanter, serves to strain and ice instan-
t ineously the wino poured through it from the bottle. A
decanter stand or tray, of elegant fashion and common
size, is contrived to keep your wine cool, or cold (it you
like) to the end of the feast. Butter, by
similar means, is kept firm and sweet ;
water, wine, or lemonade, cool, upon the
sideboard all the dog-days through. And; by the bye,
the churn is equal.y applicable to the making of butter
as ot ice, with an equal saving of labour and expense.
Ic;', creams and water ices are chipped and beaten up
while in the act of fret-zing—at the rate of a dessert
for 300 persons in twenty minutes—at the cost of-one
,person's attendaucs, and about one halipenny per quart.
Yet far more important, although less profitable to the
inventor, is the metallic cap, which Dr. Bachhoff.ueri

material of DSOsters' freezing mixture is to be had at
every etiemi,e4, find every chemist, apothecary, and
physician should ha provided with Masters' refrigerating
head-piece, whit:, our space precludes us from more
fully describing. Much greater good than at first
sight appears will doubtless result from an ex.teneltd ap-
plication of these itivention.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT NEWIIARKET.—A most
dreadful accident occurred here on Tuesday afternoon to
Miss Julia Marson, by which it is feared the life of that
tnost umiahle young lady will be sacrificed. Mrs. Marson
was superintending the malting of some preserves, when
Miss Marson entered the kitchen to speak to her mother.
She went close to the fire, and having on a muslin dress,
it is supposed a gush of air carried it near the bars. In
one instant she was in a sheet of fire. Mr. Manson ran
down from his bedroom ou hearing the dreadful screams,
and a Mr. Blyth, who had just left the house, and was
not more than a hundred 3 ards off, hearing the cries,
returned,-caught the poor girl in his arms, put her on
the ground, and extinguished the remaining flames, but
scarcely a vestige was then left of her clothing. Sur-
gical assistance was immediately sent fur and the Jody
put to bed. On removing the ashes that adhered to her,
it was discovered that the only part on which any skim
remained on the b my was where the stays had protected
that the body is not

LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1849.

The Smoke Prohibition Bill was yesterday ad-
vanced a stage in the House of Commons. After an
animated discussion on the question that the " House
resolve itself into Committee on the Bill," a divi-
sion took place, when the motion was carried by a
majority of 19—the numbers being, in favour of the
Bill. 83 ; against it, 64. A further debate then took
place on the first clause, but without positive result,
the Chairman having reported progress and obtained
leave to sit again on Wednesday, the 25th inst. It is at
all times desirable to avoid any undue interference with
persons engaged in trade or manufacture of any
description. As a general rule, every person should
be permitted to carry on his own business in the
manner which experience teaches him to be most
expedient. His own pecuniary interests will induce
him to adopt the most profitable method, and to aban-
den the old-fashioned principle when any decided
and unquestionable improvement has been in-
troduced, and proved to be capable of being carried
into execution at a reasonable and moderate
expenditure. But there are certain exceptions to this
as to every other rule, and the chief of these excep-
tions is founded on the well-known maxim of the
common law, " that every person must so use his
own property as not to injure or annoy either the
community or any private individual." Ile must
not commit either a public or private nuisance. If
his proceedings affect the health of the neighbour-
hood, then, indeed, it is essential that some cheap
and expeditious remedy should be afforded by
which be should be compelled to abate the grievance
complained of, and to carry on his business in a less
objectionable manner.
Sometimes a c'mfliet of interests may arise. A
manufacture, the maintenance and prosperity of which
is of national importance, could not, perhaps, be
earried on with- ut some degree of injury to others.
A balance, then, must be struck, and that course
adopted which combines the greatest amount of
public advantage with the least public inconvenience,
a
ximo—
in accordance with the well-known political
The greatest happines of the greatest number."
The first question that arises in such a case will
necessat ily be—ls the grievance complained of of
such a nature that it cannot be got rid of ? Will its
prohibition involve the destruction of the business, or
can it be profitably carried on in a different and less
objectionable manner? If not, whether it is more
desirable to stop the manufacture, perhaps bringing
ruin on the proprietor, and casting a great number of
persons out of employment, or to submit to the ex-
isting inconvenience as the least of the evils to be
encountered ?
The present measure may fairly be tested by these
rules. There is first the unquestionable grievance of
dense masses of smoke, which being heavier than the
atmosphere sinks immediately after its exit, polluting
the entire air, and bringing not only serious discom-
fort, but even, in some instances, the most dangerous
consequences upon the surrounding districts. Re-

cent discoveries have proved that diseases of the '
most fatal character are produced by noxious
smells and a disordered state of the
atmosphere. An open cesspool, a neglected drain,
may really cause a greater destruction of human life
than a hostile army, while an overcrowded grave-
yard in the heart of a populous city may present
greater dangers than those encountered " i ' the im-
minent deadly breach." And those dangers are not
the less formidable because unseen, and approaching
silently and insidiously. That smoke has had no
trifling effect in swelling the bills of mortality in
those towns in the vicinity of which large manufac-
tories are carried on is unquestionable. Even the vegeta-
tion in the neighbourhood is dwarfed and stunted, an dit
may safely be assumed that what is thus found deeply
injurious to vegetable life will to some extent prove
deleterious to animal life. If, therefore, any altera-
tion can be effected by which this flagrant nuisance
may be abated with reasonable care and at a mode-
rate outlay, it should forthwith be adopted. Now,
the present measure is founded entirely on the fact
that it is not only practicable to consume the
great mass of smoke issuing from furnaces,
but that, putting higher motives out of the
question, it is cheaper for the manufacturers to do so.
The report of Sir H. DE LA BECRB and of Dr. LYON
Flamm, alluded to by the President of the Board
of Trade, expressly states, " That it cannot for a mo-
ment be questioned, that the continued emission of
smoke is an unnecessary consequence of the combus-
tion of fuel, and that, as an abstract statement, it can
be dispensed with." And the letter from a very
eminent engineer, subsequently read by Mr.
SANDARS, proves " That it is practicable,
and that without any serious annoyance to
the owners of steam boilers generally,"
to reduce the quantity of smoke to such a point ,as to
be no longer an annoyance to the public." Thus then,
the main question in the case being answered in the
affirmative, it becomes the obvious duty of the Legis-
lature to provide an easy method of enforcing the
law. An easier remedy must be given than
a tedious and expensive prosecution for a com-
mon-law nuisance. It will be not only for
the public benefit, but even to the advan-
tage of manufacturers themselves, that such
should be the case. Ample time, too, will be afforded
to carry the necessary alterations into effect. The
Act is not to come into operation until 1851, and if
it can in the interim be shown that it is impossible
to carry out the full provisions of the Bill, any requi-
site changes may be made during the next session. A
slight alteration in the details would, in fact, effect all
that could be required, viz., an enact-
ment, that the' issuing of opaque smoke
should not be held to constitute an offence against
the Act, if the owner should prove that " he had
adopted, and carefully used, some well approved
method for the consumption of the smoke issuing
from his furnace, and endeavoured to the best of his
power to abate the nuisance arising from the same.",

The year 1849 will long be distinguished in the
annals of the Corporation of the City of London as
the period within which that great municipality
earned its brightest laurels. It is not merely for the
unbounded hospitality displayed on all occasions
since Sir Jamas DUKE ascended the civic throne—
although that hospitality has been seldom equalled,
never surpassed, by any former Lord Mayor—that
these laurels will be obtained. Neither will it be for
the glorious manifestations in the cause of civil and
religious liberty, the fixed and steady determination
to remove the last vestige of intolerance from
the national statute book, and the establishment
of perfect freedom of conscience to all,
without exception, who owe their fealty
to the British Crown. Striking as have been these
demonstrations, brilliant as may be the page of his-
tory on which these records will be inscribed, a
higher and more enduring fame will attend the ex-
ertions of those who strove to ameliorate the condition
of their suffering fellow-creatures, to arrest the pro-
gress of the distress and destitution, the misery and
wide- spread ruin which threatened the destruction of
our Irish brethren. A " monument more durable
than brass" will be erected to those who boldly flung
themselves into the breach, and brought their exten-
sive resources into operation on behalf of their fellow-
subjects who were sinking under the unequal struggle.
The efforts made in the beginning of the 17th
century, although the results have indeed been mag-
nificent, will sink into insignificance when compared
with the achievements of the present year. At the
former period the great companies of the British me-
tropolis undertook the duty of "colonisation." They
received free grants of large tracts of lands that hail
been confiscated from the former proprietors. They
drove the present inhabitants from their birth-places
to seek refuge in the western provinces, and they re-
peopled the land with a new race, whose steady and
unceasing industry, and calm and resolute deter-
mination, speedily brought the bleak and
sterile soil of the " black north" into the
highest state of fertility and cultivation, and who
attained a prosperity similar to that enjoyed by the
inhabitants of this happy and highly favoured land.

But the Corporation of the present day have higher
aims and objects. They do not desire to obtain the
fruits of confiscation, to succeed to any estates for which
the former owners shall not receive the full and fair
value, even to the uttermost farthing. They seek not
to realise any pecuniary profits, to aggrandize them-
selves or their successors at the expense of others.
They are entering on no mere commercial speculation,
in which the prospects of gain more than compensate the
risks to be encountered. They are animated by
feelings of the purest philanthropy and benevolence,
and by none of a baser or more worldly character.
They only seek " a return of the capital to be in-
vested with interest," to be restored the amount of
their outlay in the purchase and improvement of
estates and waste lands, and the employment of the
labouring population. All further profits will be
strictly applied in promoting the welfare of the people,
for the benefit not only of their immediate tenantry,
but of all who come within the sphere of their
operations.
_ _ _

(- Their proceedings, too, if more disinterested and
equitable, will also be distinguished by greater huma-
nity and benevolence. They do not contemplate the
banishment or expulsion of the present occupants.
They do not intend, in the first instance to depopulate
the district that may be required—" to make a desert
and call it peace." No ; they will undertake the
more arduous, but the more humane and beneficent
duty of working out the welfare and happiness of the
native occupiers, of elevating Ireland in the social
scale, of promoting the national wealth and prosperity
of the sister kingdom, through the agency and by
the industry of her own children, who, whatever may
be their faults, are a warm-hearted and grateful race
—nay, more, an active and energetic people, able
and willing to work whenever the legitimate rewards
of labour are placed within their reach.

The admirable letter of the illustrious Nobleman
who now so worthily occupies the Viceregal Throne
of Ireland clearly indicates the due appreciation
with which the glorious undertaking is regarded
by those most competent to form a sound judgment
as to its probable results. The Earl of CLARENDON
expresses not merely " his satisfaction" but " his
delight " at the " prudence and genuine philan-
thropy " of the originators of the movement—a
movement likely to be productive of the happie-t
consequences, not only to Ireland, but " through
Ireland to the United Kingdom."
Although the state and condition of that unhappy
land is gloomy and discouraging, it is by no means
hopeless. There are already afforded slight but certain
indications of a more propitious season, of a " good
time coming," when the aspirations of the well-
wiliers of Ireland will be fully and completely rea-
lised. Every sentence of the LORD-LIEUTENANT'S
letter to the Chief Magistrate of the city of London
bears the impress of truth. There is a " verisimi-
litude"
must uwdeer'a'ert mehoatlt: the mlau,s,t convince the most sceptical, that
that the raofptrheseea greateststate o
afltahringmisst.ln
con-
tains within itself no germ of amelioration"—that
" it cannot even remain stationary"—that " it
must go from bad to worse ;" but we are
also informed by his Excellency that "
no-
thing could induce him to recommend it if he
did not conscientiously believe that the investment
would prove remunerative," and that he entertains no
doubt on the point; " for if good land is to be bought
at a cheap rate, if secure titles can be obtained at a
mall expense, and if capital is available for improv-

ing the soil and rendering it productive, such an in-
vestment cannot fail to be profitable." The auxiliary
circumstances that justify that opinion are clearly
and distinctly set forth. The cessation of political
and agrarian outrages, the chastened dispositio❑ of the
people, whose only present anxiety is " to obtain em-
ployment," all afford the most cheering auguries as
to the result. And "if the bright example exhi-
bited by the Corporation of London, by the
greatest capitalists and best men of business in the
world," be only followed, as there is every reason to
hope it will be, Ireland will speedily emerge from
her difficulties. The sufferings and wretchedness of
the past will be forgotten in the cheering prospect
before them. They will learn the truth of the asser-
tion of their talented countrywoman, " that there is
a silver lining in every cloud;" that " the brightest
day succeeds the darkest morning."

This above return is the aggre.rate of the votes
polled at 222 polling places out of 253. Among the
districts from which the numbers have not yet been
received are many arrondissements of the Banlieu, in
which the principal, strength of the Republicans lie;
it is therefore not improbable that M. GOUDCBAUX
may be returned instead of M. Borstvmmeas, and it
is possible also that M. DUPONT (DE BnssAc) may
have a majority over M. AcaiLLE FOULD.
The Conservatives have on this occasion acted with
unanimity ; they have had but one list, and every
Conservative of every shade has paid implicit
obedience to the commands of the Union Electorale ;
the Republicans, on the contrary, after having agreed
to a coalition list, broke up into separate sections,
and there were, besides the coalition list, lists of
every shade of Republicanism, from the Constitu-
tionalism of M. AIARRAST to the Communism of M.
PROUDRON. No party, however strong, which adopts
such absurd tactics as these can hope for success, and
in consequence the result was never for one moment
doubtful. The election has excited scarcely any sen-
sation in Paris.

The results of the elections in the departments
were not known yesterday in Paris, although
there is no doubt of the return of M. DE
LAMARTIIIE for the Department of the
Loiret. The numbers as far as they were known
yesterday, were—

Honour to the electors of Loiret for having re-
turned to the Assembly the man of all France, whose
presence there at the present crisis is the most ne•
cessary. They have paid their portion of the debt
of gratitude due to him, who, above all others, is
entitled to be hailed as " The saviour of his country
—LAMA.RTINE the Liberator."
M. Dureumt has announced that a commission has
been appointed to prepare an organic law for the
regulation of the National Guard.
In the Assembly, on Monday, M. LEcLonuan
brought forward a motion for raising the state of siege
in Paris. This gave rise to an angry discussion, in the
course of which the President made use for the first
time of the almost despotic power conferred on him
by the new regulations. M. Ducsn having com-
plained that the Constitution was violated by the
state of siege was called to order by the President. who.
in doing so, took occasion to indulge in his pedagogic
propensities by scolding the Members of the Left
generally, and M. DUcUB in particular. The dis-
cussion then continued, and M. Duct's having said
that above the majority there was the country, to
which he appealed, was again called to order by M.
DUPIN, who proposed to apply to him the 119th
Article of the new regulations, which was of course
agreed to by the majority. He was, therefore, sub-
jected to the simple censure of the Assembly, the
consequence of which is the forfeiture of half his
salary for a fortnight. These proceedings on
the part of M. Dural, and the majority are
worse than u fault they are a mistake.
It is absurd for any party in France to attempt a
permanent exclusion from power of any other party—
the thing is simply impossible, and these precedents
of pettishness will be hereafter appealed to to jus-
tify deeds, perhaps, of actual violence against those
who now form the majority, but who will then be,
as they have frequently been before, the minority—
in which case, the only answer that will be vouch-
safed to their complaints will be an appeal to the
present proceedings, and a Vous l'avez voulu
GBORGE3 DANDIN, vows l'avez voulu.
The motion for raising the state of siege was re-
jected by a majority of 363 to 141.
The vote of thanks to the army of Italy was passed.
The Members of the left abstained from voting.
The Moniteur publishes in extenso the official
dispatches of General OUDINOT, announcing the sur-
render of Rome on the 4th instant. The surrender
of the city was unconditional. Two columns of
French troops entered on the 3d—one, with General
OUDINOT and his staff at the head, by the Porta
Portese ; the other, with General GUESWELLEB, by
the Porta del Popolo and the Corso. They were
received with acclamations generally. A
hostile feeling was shown in the Corso,
where a group was assembled with a
flag surmounted by a cap of liberty. The flag was
cut down by the troops. GARIBALDI, with from
3,000 to 4,000 men, left at one side while the French
entered at the other. He was believed to have taken
the road to Albano. Rome was tranquil. The army
was in excellent health. No monument sustained
the least damage, except one church near the breach.
La Patrie says that GARIBALDI, who had quitted
Rome with 4,000 or 5,000 men, had taken the road
to Terracina, and traversed the kingdom of Naples to
take refuge in the Abruzzi, where he proposed to
carry on a guerilla warfare.

Since the above was written we have received in-
telligence from Paris up to a late hour yesterday
afternoon ; the following was the state of the poll up
to that hour. It is such as to leave no doubt of the
success of all the candidates of the Union Electorale

The votes of the army, those of the canton of Ville-
juif, and also those of a section of the Bth arrondisse-
ment, are still wanting, but it is certain that these
will not affect the above proximate majorities.
The speculators at the Bourse to-day commenced
buiiness with the expectation of a considerable rise in
the price of Government Stock, but they experienced
much disappointment on finding that the Five per Cenf
which opened at 881. 80c., fell suddenly, towards three
o'clock, to 87f. 70e., and closed at 87f. 85c. No reason-
able CABO was assigned fur this species of panic."
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse at
531. 80e. ; the Five per Cents. at 87f: 85c. ; Orleans

We are assured that M. niers arrived in London
yesterday, and it is added that the object of his visit is
to open negotiations for a matrimonial treaty between
the President of the French Republic and Madame la
Duchesse d'Orloans. We have not heard in what way
it is proposed to settle this question of precedence be-
tween the Comte de Paris and the possible issue of the
proposed marriage; but this point, doubtless, has not
eecaped the penetrating mind of M, Thiers.—Peet,

BADEN AND THE PALATINATE.
Thr Journal de Frankfort contains the following :
.

" We have just receiv.ii a letter from Carl,ruhe of the
sth, which says, ' The Bombardment of Radstudt com-
menced the evening before last, and from the rep:in
very heavy artillery must be used. The fortress was
vigorously bombarded last night; it is impossible that
it hold out long. It is commanded by an officer of
tle Baden dragoons named Tiedemann. The French
Government has caused the arrest of Dr. Kuchling, the
Civil Commissary of Kehl, who had fled to Strasburgh,
stud who was the principal author of the arrest of the
courier of the Embassy of Weil, who was, it is said,
taken to Iticistudt and assassinate-d. The French Go-
vernment wish to bring Dr. Kuchling before a court-
martial, which is generally approved of, as he has exer-
cised a frightful terrorism in the country.' "
M. KINKEL,_ an ex- deputy and professor at the
university of Bonn, was shot on the 2d, in the forest
of Rindheim, for participation in the events of
Carlsruhe.
