CITY D ISPENSARY.— On Wednesday the
fifty-first anniversary of this institution was celebrated at the
Albion Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
in the chair. After the usual toasts his Royal Highness pro-
posed " Prosperity to the City Dispensary," and stated that during
the past year, by means of an income of about 6001., relief had
been extended to nearly 6,000 persons —(Cheers.) He
trusted that the friends of a charity, by which such good was
effected, would daily increase, and that the Chairman of next
year would have the gratification of announcing a long list of
additional contributions.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor, in an '
appropriate speech, proposed the health of his Royal Highness,
who had done the Institution the distinguished honour of pre-
siding over it on its anniversary. His Royal Highness returned
thanks, and concluded a short speech by saying that, when in-
capacitated by age and infirmity from performing his duties as
Chairman, he was sure his son would gladly supply his place.
The " Lord Mayor," " The Sheriffs," and a number of other
toasts were given, when his Royal Highness left the chair, and
the company separated.
WAGES OR WARNING —ln the Sheriff's
Court on Thursday was tried an action for 3/. 15s. the
amount of a month's wages. The plair.tiff was shopmen to
the defendant, who is a linen-draper. No evidence was ad-
duced to prove that the plaintiff was dismissed foom the de-
fendant's service in consequence of any misconduct ; and the
question at issue between the parties was, whether or not the
custom or usage of the trade compelled shopkeepers to give a
month's notice or a month's pay to discharged shopmen. Two
witnesses were called, en the part of the 1 laintiff, to prove that
such custom did exist ; and, on behalf of the defendant, se-
veral witnesses were examined, to negative the existence of the
custom. The evidence was therefore of a very conflicting na-
ture. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.
AN UNPARDONABLE SIN.—We
are pained
to learn that a loafer, hailing from Baltimore, paid a visit to
the romantic village of Centreville a few days since, and made
a descent upon the cellar of the Editor of the Times, and drank
all his cider. In addition to this, he pocketed all said Editor's
pigs' heads and feet, which had been contributed b y his sub-
scribers, for his winter's sto.-e. If our keg of cider wal in the
lot, we shall have to lose it, for we cannot think of holding the
unfortunate Editor responsible. —Baltimore Sun.

A meeting of the Catholics of London and its vicinity
took place yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the
purpose of addressing her Majesty, and their Royal High-
nesses Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent, on her
Majesty's marriage. At one o'clock the cleanr was taken
by Lord Camoys, and among those present we observed
the Hon. C. L ingdele, M. P. ; John Wright, Esq.,
banker ; J. E. Strickland, Esq. of Lougblyn House ; J
Vaughan, Esq., of Courtfield ; J. Hersey, Esq. ; F.
Macdonnel, Esq. ; Eneas Mecdonnell, Esq. ; F. Lucas,
Esq. ; J. Keiley, Esq. ; W. E. Grainger, Esq. ; W. Am-
herst, Esq. ; C. Stapleton, Esq., Hawthorn Hill ; A.
Cooke, Esq. ; IL Boyle, Esq. ; C. Addis, Esq. ; F.
Riddle, Esq. ; C. Pagliano Youens. Rymer, &e. ; and
Roos, Abbate di Luca, from Rome ; Rev. W. Hall, Moor-
fields; Rev. J. Robson, Rev. T. Sisk, Rev. J. Darcy,
Rev. W. Harris, Rev. J. Gouch, Rev. J. O'Neal, &c.
The Nonae CHAIRMAN said, in introducing to the meet-
ing the business of the day, it would not be necessary for
him to occupy their time for many minutes. lie could not
do so without expressing the gratification he felt at being
called upon to, preside over a meeting of his Catholic
fellow-subjects. He cordially approved of the object of
the present meeting ; and indeed so much so that he was
almost tempted to impute some blame for the tardiness
with which the present meeting had been called. While
they had seen all other classes assembled for a similar
purpose, he regretted to say that they were among
the last to do so.--(Hear.) Whatever blame might
be attached to that, however, he must take his share in
it. He belies ed that none were better entitled to address
her Majesty than her Catholic subjects, for none felt to-
wards her more profound sentiments of loyalty, attaeh-
ment, and respect.---( Loud cheering.) In the object of
the present meeting he hardly contemplated any kind of
of dissension, and he was sure it was hardly necessary for
him to ask their indulgence and support in the trifling and
easy duties he had to perform. He should now call upon
the Gentleman who was about to propose the address for
their approval.
Mr. LANGDALE had been requested by the Committee to
whom the charge of preparing the address had been con-
fided, to submit it for the adoption of the meeting. He
need not say that he did so with the greatest satisfaction--
although he felt that there were many Hon. Gentlemen
around him who were more capable of doing justice to the
subject, Their Noble Chairman had alluded to the late
period at which the present meeting had been called, and
he certainly admitted that there was some ground of com-
olaint on that head. It was, however, but right to state
briefly the circumstances why others had preceded them on
the present occasion. He was sure it would be at once
admitted that it was not from a deficiency of loyal feelings
on the part of the Catholics of that country.—(Loud
cheers.) It was not because they did not feel a deep
interest in the important event which had just taken place
in the life of the Sovereign who at present reigned over
them, that they had not sent up their addresses of congra-
tulation.—( Hear, and cheers.) He believed the cause
was, and it weighed powerfully in his mind, that on an
occasion so generally interesting to all classes of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, it might seem almost objectionable to
come forward as a distinct class of religionists.—( Hear,
hear.) If that had not been the prevailing opinion among
the Catholics of London, he believed they would have been
the first instead of among the last.—(Cheers.) The course
of events had, however, shown them that a different view
of the subject had been taken by other parties throughout the
country. There was hardly a class of society, and
however numerous they were, he believed there was
hardly a sect of religionists who had not met and
addressed her Majesty. The Jews, all the different
denominations of Dissenters, and even that most amiable
class, the Society of Friends, had presented addresses to
her Majesty.—( Cheers.) However reluctant these latter
[night be to come forward on political occasions, they had
addressed her Majesty in those simple and beautifully ex-
pressive words, which every one present must have read,—
( Hear, and cheers.) It was owing to the considerations
to which he had referred that they had not come forward
at an earlier period to address her Majesty, and although
unwilling on the present occasion to allude to unpleasant
topics, he did not hesitate to say that he believed the first
occasion on which pain was imparted to the heart of their
Sovereign originated in her determination to do equal jus-
tice, and to distribute equally and fairly the favours
and offices of the State to those who merited them, of
all classes, including for the first time his Roman
Cathelic fellow-subjects.—( Loud cheering.) He
should not proceed further with that painful topic. All
they asked was that they should not be debarred in
consequence of their religious opinions from the enjoy-
ment of those civil privileges which were distributed
throughout all ranks of their fellow-countrymen. There
could be but one feeling of attachment and devo-
tion to the Throne, and there could be but
one feeling of gratification at an alliance by which
consolation would be afforded her under those pains and
distresses which even the Throne itself was some-
times subjected to.—( Hear, hear.) He was unwilling to
occupy the time of the meeting further, as there were ad-
dresses to be proposed to her Majesty's Royal Consort,
and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, upon which
other gentlemen would address them much abler than he
could pretend to do. He would therefore conclude by
proposing the Address for the adoption of the meeting.
Mr. ADDIS, a Chancery Barrister, seconded the address.
There could not be a second opinion among the British
Catholics of the metropolis upon the event on which they,
had met to congratulate her Majesty. Loyalty and de-
votion to the Throne was no new characteristic of the
British Catholics, and they might refer with pride to the
annals of their history, to prove that under all circum-
stances the British Catholics had been ever signalized by
their devotion to the throne of her Majesty's illustrious
ancestors.—( Hear, hear.) The Catholics of this country
had ever been devt ted to the interests of the monarchy,
and had on all occasions shown themselves ready to rally
round the national flag. At the Nile and Trafalgar, Ca-
tholics were to be fuund fighting in the same ranks with
their Protestant fellow-subjects, and at that final consum-
mation of British valour—in the plains of Waterloo the
Catholics of these countries fought side by side with their
more favoured countrymen. They shed their blood on
those occasions in defence of that very country which had
refus“l them the rights of citizenship.—(Hear, hear.)
They were not actuated now by any new impulse of loyalty
_they were merely about to convey to her Majesty the ex-
pression of those sentiments which they had ever enter-
tained towards her Royal predecessors. They had, how-
ever, new motives for loyal devotion, and her Majesty pos.
sessed an additional claim on their gratitude, by having
extended since her accession to the Throne her Royal fa-
vours to all classes of her subjects, without any religious
distinction--(Cheers.) Yct, though the Catholics o, the
empire had been restored to their rights, the same spirit
which had withheld them so long sti 1 prevailed among a
great portion of the inhabitants of this country. Day after
day they found a large portion of the Press teeming with
abuse and slander of themselves, and of their creed.
Their loyalty and devotion to their Sovereign were de-
nied, and clamours were raised at the elevation of
a Catholic to any situation of trust, as if such an event were
an injury inflicted on any other party. Her Majesty, how-
ever, and her Majesty's Ministers, had determined that
those feelings should not be attended to, and Catholics
were now sharing' in all the favours conferred on other por-
tions of her Majesty's subjects. For these reasons ho
thought that the Catholics of England and Ireland had
reason to look with gratitude to the short reign of her Ma-
jesty, and he would now repeat the prayer that that reign
might long continue; and that, in the words of their
Reverend Prelate, " her Majesty arid her Illustrious
consort might live to see their children and their grand-
children around them." There was an obligation which
they owed her Majesty, in addition to those he had already
mentioned, which he did not wish to pay over. It was
well known to the meeting that Catholics were not allowed
to take degrees in Oxford or in Cambridge—in those very
seminaries of learning which bad been founded by their
Catholic ancestors for Catholic purposes.--( Hear.) Her
Majesty, however, had, as far as lay in her power, re-
moved the evil of which her Catholic subjects had a right
to complain, by allowing students educated at Stonyhurst
to graduate at the London University. It was true that
there might be persons who would be inclined to sneer at
degrees given by the University of London, or at the
Catholic Colleges of this country. He did not, however,
think that there was any reason for sneering at schools
which had educated such men as Dr. Lingard and Mr.
Wiseman.—( Cheers.) He believed that any Catholic
would feel the obligations which they owed to her
Majesty, and if there was any class which felt
more interested titan another in the welfare of
her Majesty, it was her Catholic subjects. He
_sor to
believed
successor
there was no one who would not wish to see a ecee
the Throne in her line, and who would not prefer an heir
presumptive to an heir apparent.—( Hear, hear.) Under
those circumstances he felt great pleasure in seconding the
address.—( Hear, hear.)
The motion was then put, and unanimously adopted.hn Highness
The Rev. R. Sisx said he felt great pleasure in moving
an Address of Congratulation to his Royal Hig
Prince Albert. On an occasion like the present, he did
not anticipate the slightest opposition or difficulty in sub-
mitting the Address for their adoption. llis Royal High-
ness had come among them as a stranger ; he had thrown
himself upon their hospitality; and, as the chosen of their
beloved Sovereign, he bad additional claims upon their
esteem and affection.—(Cheers.) In days gone by,
history informed them that the matrimonial alliances of
p
the Sovereigns were made for political or other purposes,
instead of those upon which only they should be based,
namely, affection. Her Majesty, however, had, he be_
lieved,selected her illustrious consort from affection alone.
They had been brought up together ; they had entered
life at a very early age, and everything combined to ren-
der their position in the highest degree interesting.—
(Cheers. ) The Catholics of this country bad no feelings
of pusillanimity or timidity, nor had they ever shown
any hesitation in coming forward and avowing their loyalty
and attachment to the Throne, when that avowal was a
work of inconvenience or danger.—( Cheers.) They had
been tried in the most severe manner ia former
times, when they shared all the dangers and disasters,
without participating in any of the honours or
favours of the State. If ever there was a Sovereign who
had p-euliar claims upon the hearts and affections of her
people, and more especially of the Catholics, who formed
by tar the largest portion of her subjects, it was their pre-
sent Sovereign.--( Loud cheers ) The Catholics were
now emerging from the state of bondage in which they
I. had been for so long a period immersed, and they could
not but feel grateful to a Sovereign who had been the first
to carry these principles into practical effect.---(Hear,

hear.) The Prince whom her Majesty had selected had
received the highest encomiums from all who had the plea-
sure of knowing him, and it was only a few weeks since
that an Address had been presented to him from the Uni-
versity of Bonn. Those who were acquainted with that
University must be aware that it knew of no religious dis-
tinction—Catholics and Protestants being educated under
the same Professors. How was it in this country ? 'Why
while the Catholics ware taxed with their ignorance, every
svenue to instruction was closed against them ? All their
foundations were of an exclusive character—( Hear, hear)
—and a Catholic could not avail himself of their advan-
tages without compromising that religion which was dearer
to him than his lite ; and what aggravated the hardness to
injustice was, that most of these foundations owed their
origin to the zeal and the exertions of their Catholic no-
bility and gentry.—( Cheers.) He trusted that the illus-
trious Price who hail lately come among them, and who
had enjoyed the blessings of education unfettered by any
religious or exclusive conditions, would exert himself to
promote education among the great mass of the people of
this country.—(Cheers.) His Royal Highness was now a
participant in the anxiety and cares inseparable from the
condition of a monarch. He hoped that his Royal High-
ness would be able so to conduct himself, in the conduct
of such portion of them as fell to his lot, to merit the affec-
tionate regard and esteem of the peoplo.—( Hear, and
cheers.) The office of Sovereign in this country must
necessarily bo attended with extreme difficulty, and various
questions would arise which it was extremely hazardous to
encounter, but which must be considered and finally ad-
justed. Her Majesty's union with Prince Albert was not
only auspicious to the Catholics, but to every other class
and creed. A great effort was made to stir up party strife,
by its being said it was doubtful what religion the Prince
possessed. A strict inquiry into the matter had proved
that he was not of the religion which the Catholics pro-
fessed, but that he was a Lutheran. Tnerefore there was
:10 just ground for jealousy. But of whatever creed be
was, that would not interfere with their loyalty and
ettachmeot to their Sovereign.—( Hear, hear.) He begged
to conclude by moving the Address to Prince Albert.
Mr. MORGAN J. O'CONNELL, M.P., seconded the Ad-
dress. He had been inclined, at first sight, to agree with
his Hon. Friend ( Mr. Langdale), that it would be better,
in ordinary cases, to abstain from taking any part as a class
of religionists in public matters; but this appeared to him
to be a case in which that rule did not apply, because it
was the duty of all loyal subjects, not merely to yield obe-
dience in civil matters, but to offer up their prayers, in
their respective places of worship, to the Throne of Grace
and Mercy, for her spiritual, no less than her temporal
welfare, and that duty was particularly incumbent on them
on the present occasion, inasmuch as their respected Pre-
late, who presided over their faith in the London district,
had called upon them to perform that duty. Those
penal laws to which allusion had been made had passed
away, but it was lamentable to see so much of the bad
spirit that dictated them still exist, and that even in the
ashes of bigotry its wonted fires were unfortunately still
alive. He trusted, however, they were but the decaying
embers of that bad spirit.—( Hear.) He would not dwell
upon that subject, as on that occasion their sentiments
ought to be only those of joy and consolation.--( Hear. )
All they claimed was to be considered as fit in all respects
to discharge every duty, whether as private individuals or
in the public service, as any other class of persons in her
Majesty's empire.—(Hear.) There was one other topic
to which he wished to allude, and that was, that in those.
unfortunate disturbances which had taken place in this
country, scarcely one of the individuals who were con-
cerned in the Chartist insurrections had belonged to
the Roman Catholic persuasion.—( Hear, hear, hear.)
If the Catholics of the country had not been mixed up
with actual disturbances, it was because this was the first
reign in which they had been as the equals of every other
denomination of their Christian brethren. If he might
be permitted to recur to his own portion of the empire,
and to cross the Channel for a moment, he found that he
could make the proud boast, that now the criminal assizes
had terminated, it was found that nothing ever equalled
the paucity of crimes which had of late been committed in
Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) It was more than a feeling of
congratulation which induced him to allude to that subject,
because it showed how completely the extension of the
principle of an impartial distribution of the favours of the
State, without any regard to religious distinctions, had
succeeded, so far as it had been hitherto tried.--( Hear. )
That encouraged them to address her Majesty, and
his; Royal Highness Prince Albert, in the words
which had just been read to them, and to proclaim the
happiness they experienced in living under the mild and
impartial sway of her Majesty. It was true that in the
worst of times the loyalty of the Catholic body had re-
mined unshaken, but it was no disrespect to the Throne
to say that that feeling was mixed up with a sentiment of
gratitude which strengthened and encouraged it.--( Hear,
hear.) It was a fact particularly exemplified in that part
of the empire to which he belonged, that the laws were
best observed when they were not made an instrument of
tyranny and oppression.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon.
Gentleman proceeded, that in.addition to the feeling they
entertained towards her Majesty, they had every reason to
congratulate themselves on the choice of a Consort made
by her Majesty. There was no security for the discharge of
public duties so good as that of private character, and it was
a matter of congratulation to all good subjects to know that
all who had ever been acquainted with his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, whom they were now about to address,
had spoken of him in terms in which any one would feel
most proud to hear his most intimate friend or nearest
relative spoken of.—( Hear, hear.) His Royal Highness
had now the good opinion of all classes in the country in
which he lived, and they might therefore trust, that carry-
ing into the exalted station, to which lie had been called,
the qualities which had through life distinguished him, he
would contribute not merely to the domestic happiness of
her Majesty, but thet, encouraging her in the discharge of
those great duties which she owed her subjects, he might
promote the glory of her reign by the surest and truest
means—by promoting the happiness of her Majesty's faith.
ful subjects.—( Cheers.)
The resolution was then put, and unanimously adopted.
Mr. VAUGHAN came forward to propose a Congratulatory
Address to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, on
the occasion of her Majesty's marriage. He was the more
readily induced to come forward with the present resolu-
tion, emanating as it did from the Roman Catholics of the
metropolis, because he resided in Monmouthshire, and in
the district which had lately been the scene of the Chartist
outrages. He found with pleasure that no Catholic had
taken any part in those disturbances, and the only mem-
ber of their religion who had been at all connected with
the transactions in question was the Rev. Mr. Metcalfe,
a Catholic priest, and the manner he was connected with
them was this: he was engaged in administering consola-
tion in the hour of danger to the military.—(Cheers.)
The only one of the soldiers wounded on the occasion was
a Catholic—it was the gallant Sergeant Daly. It was
true that these circumstances had little to do with
the immediate object for which they were assembled,
and yet the memory of them could not be considered
e holly inappropriate on the present occasion.—( Hear. )
He would not, however, detain them any longer, but he
would conclude with pointing out to them the obligations
which the country owed to her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, for the care she had given to the educa-
tion of her Majesty. They all knew how much depended
on early impressions, and how much was therefore owing
to her Royal Highness. Whatever love of nature—what-
ever high qualities might be found in the breast of the So_
vcreigr, were reflected upon her illustrious Mother, to
whose care and attention she was indebted for them.—
( Cheers.) Mr. Vaughan concluded by reading the Ad-
dress.

-•---
Mr. F. MACDONNBLL seconded it. He felt much
pleasure in following in the train of one of the representa-
tives of the ancient Cavaliers of England, and he was sur-
rounded by others, the descendants of those
I,ho lived in the brightest pages of English
history, and whose names were identified with the
glorious days of Cressy and of Agincourt.—(Loud
cheers.) He would not trespass at any length upon their
time, but there was one remark which he could not refrain

from making, namely, that young as their Sovereign
was, she had already learned the great secret of go-
verning, by considering herself not the Queen of a fac-
tion, but of the whole of her subjects.—(Cheers.) The J
result of that policy was already beginning to develop
itself—he already saw an abatement of the virulence with j
which they had been assailed, and he sincerely trusted
that her Majesty might continue to persevere in that just
and equitable line of policy, from which so much benefit
to all classes of her subjects might be anticipated.
The Address was then agreed to unanimously.
Mr. RinDELL then moved, that Lord Camoys and the
Hon. Mr. Langdale present the Addresses to her Ma-
jesty, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent.
Mr. IlEnsr.Y seconded the motion, which was put, and
carried unanimously.
Mr. LUCAS moved a vote of thanks to the Noble Chair-
man, for his impartial and dignified conduct in the Chair.
He could not let that oppertunity pass, however, without
expressing his cordial concurrence in the Addresses that had
been agreed to —(Hear, bear.) It had been said by a
writer in the Times, with more pretension to theological
• knowledge than honesty, that the Catholics did not believe
• the marriage which had lately taken place between their
Sovereign and Prince Albert to be a marriage at all, be-
cause it was not celebrated by a Catholic priest—
( Laughter.) Ile would not insult the understandings of
the meeting by entering into a refutation of that statement,
but this he would say, that the loyalty and attachment of
the Catholics were stronger than that of any other class of
the community, because they were founded on a deeper, a
' more permanent, and a more holy principle.—( Cheers. )
Her Majesty at present enjoyed great popularity, but if
the gale of popular applause should ever become a tem-
pest to sink her in the ocean of trouble, tumult, and dis-
tress, that body who had been faithful when persecuted,
would be no less faithful to one who had shown them every
favour and kindness.
The Rev. Mr. ROBSON seconded the resolution.
The resolution was unanimously carried.
Lord CAMOTS briefly returned thanks.
It was then agreed to, that the Addresses should be pre.
s and the Hon. Mr. Langdale to
sented by Lord Camoy
the Royal Personages to whom they were to be submitted ;
and the meeting separated.

A MODERN CINCINNATUS.—The following
statement with reference to the future President, of the united
States, appeared in the Louisville City Gazettc:—" The Far-
mer of North Belli:l.—Some gentlemen a few days since Visited
the veteran Harrison, at North Bend, and found him, flail in
hand, thrashing out wheat in his barn. 7 his is the man whom
officc-holders and destructives affect to despise. He is the
reople's man, for he is of them. He will thrash the little ma-
gician out of his magic next November."

It appeared afterwards that she had been previously convicted
of a similar offence against Webber.
The prisoner was then sentenced to be transported for life.
The moment the sentence was delivered she became almost
frantic., rushed from the bar towards a young female, to whom
it appeared Webber has since been married, and exclaimed,
" I'll kill her, I'll kill her," ard but for the interference of the
turnkeys, she would no doubt have done her some serious in-
jury, and it was with the utmost difficulty that the officers could
remove her from the dock.
CIVIL SIDE.
(Before Mr. Justice LITT LE DA LE and a. Special Jury.)

CARE". ESQ., V. Ent C. M. bURRELL, BART., AND COLONEL
GEORGE WYNDHAM, EXECUTORS OF THE LATE EARL OF
AG aF:MONT.

Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channel!, and Mr. Peacock ap-
peared foe the plaintiff; Sir Wm. Follett (who had been alle-
ic ciall retained), Mr. Platt, and Sir Walter Riddell for the de-
ka its.
r. PEACOCK opened the pleadings. In this case John Ed-
watt Carew was plaintiff, and Sir Charles M. Burrell, Bart.,
esti Col. George 'Wyndham (executors of the will of the late
Marl of Egremont), defendants. The declaration stated that the
late. Noble Earl was indebted to plaintiff for the price and value
of goods sold and delivered, work done and performed, mate-
rials found and provided, and money paid for his use, when the
said Earl promised to pay. Defendants pleaded, first, that the
said Earl did not promise ; and, secondly, that he had paid the
plaintiff.

Mr. THESIGER rose to perform his duty with more than
ordinary- reluctance ; because it was not too much to say that
upon the result of this inquiry would mainly depend the future
prospects in life of the plaintiff. Mr. Carew, the plaintiff, was
a sculptor of very considerable eminence in his profession; and
although, from the circumstances connected with this case, he
had been in some degree removed from the honourable emula-
tion of his professional career, he had exhibited works which
would carry his name with honour to posterity. He was the
father of a numerous family, once his pride, now his misfor-
tune. In the year 1623 he was assisting Sir Richard Westma-
cott, whose name must be familiar to the Jury, and was
deriving an emolument to the extent of at least
1,500/. or 1,8001. a year ; besides practice in a studio
of his own, which realized at least 8001. a year. The learned
Counsel having disclaimed any intention of throwing the slight-
est disrespect on the memory of the late Earl of Egremont,
who had been loved and honoured by the plaintiff, and who was
now deeply lamented, observed that in an evil hour the plain-
tiff was introduced to the late Earl, listened to his solicita-
tion to quit his employment, and gave up his prospects of
fame and emolument in order to devote his talents and services
exclusively to him. For although he had enjoyed during four •
teen years the sunshine of his Lordship's favour, he now found
himself at the expiration of that period, when the grave had
separated them, in a worse situation than he would have been
had he never experienced his Lordship's protection ; he found
himself cast adrift Olson the world, feeling more severely the
situation in which he was placed by the contrast which it
presented to him, and being at a time of life when he was
compelled again to struggle with younger competitors, with a
broken and disappointed spirit, not without that hope which
bore up and encouraged a young man in the emulation of an ho-
nourable profession. In the year 1823, Mr. Carew was intro-
duced to Lord Egremont, who was known to be a great en-
courager of the arts, and at whose request he left his employ-
ment, and from that period down to his Lordship's death in
November, 1837, he entirely or almost entirely devoted him-
self to his Lordship's service. It was soon known that Mr.
Carew was in a manner attached to Lord Egremont ; and the
consequence was, that besides having quitted the em-
ployment of Sir It. Westmacott, his own private busi-
ness fell off, and ultimately altogether ceased. From 1823 to 1831
Mr. Carew resided in London, employing himself upon various
works for his Lordship, and solely employed in his service.
He then, at the Noble Earl's request, removed to Brighton, to
a house belonging to his Lordship, and let to him at a nominal
rent. One could hardly suppose that Mr. Carew would have
left the metropolis and the career of an honourable profession,
and placed himself in the limited sphere of a provincial town,
without an assurance of a provision for his family. From this
time Mr. Carew's services were more peculiarly his Lordship's ;
he was almost always at his Lordship's principal residence at
Petworth ; and in 1835, at his Lordship's desire, he removed to
New Grove, near Petworth, where he remained with his family
till his Lordship's death. He was almost daily with his Lord-
ship; be was employed on a variety of works suggested by his
Lordship, many of which were still at Petworth, and might be
seen and estimated. During this period Mr. Carew received
from Lord Egremont various sums, not as definite payments
for his services, but supplies from time to time to satisfy his
wants. He anticipated a provision from his Lordship by deed
or will, and therefore never pressed for a settlement. His
Lordship, however, died; but from some mistake or forgetful-
ness no such provision was made, and Mr. Carew found him-
self deprived of every means of support. Called on by credi-
' tors to satisfy their demands, he was recommended to send in a
el:iv to the executors. He did so; the executors very pro-
perly required an explanation on the subject ; and ulti-
mately, Mr. Carew put himself into the hands of friends.
Other claims were sent in, undoubtedly not consonant either
with the first or with each other, and the consequence was that
flab executors, who had, he believed, every desire to satisfy
evisTy claim that Mr. Carew might have on the estate, felt
themselves called upon to resist demands of this description, and
they required Mr. Carew to bring an action and appear before a
Jtsrv. Considering the situation Mr. Carew was placed in as
regarded Lord Egremont, it was almost impossible for him to
Fire a precise and definite claim ; and therefore it was not to
be wondered at that the friends to whom he had entrusted his in-
terest should have taken a different view of the mode in which
that claim should be prepared, and consequently should, in some
degree, have produced the embar:assment and difficulty which
might arise in the progress of the inquiry. Although the de-
fendants had acted in a most generous way towards Mr.
Carew, they would not admit the giving of the orders ; and the
plaintiff would therefore hold them to the strict proof of
i eceipts. The Learned Counsel then stated the mode in
which he should prove his case, as will appear in the evidence
below ; and in conclusion Mr. Thesiger expressed a strong
wish that another tribunal had been resorted to for the settle-
ment of these unfortunate disputes, and that even now a refer-
ence might be agreed to.
Sir W. FoLeer-r would have concurred in such an arrange-
ment, had it not been for the peculiar nature of the case ; but
after all that had taken place, the executors of Lord Egremont
would not consent to any but a public investigation.
The LEARNED JUDGE said the course suggested by Mr.
Thesiger was the best in cases of this kind, unless there was
something in the nature of the case which made a different
course desirable.

Mr. THESIGER observed that he had not said anything ita
disparagement of the executors.
Sir W. FOLLETT said so much had occurred, that the execu-
tors would not be satisfied without a public investigation.
The Learned Council then called a number of witnesses,
who proved that the plaintiff had executed a variety of pieces
if sculpture for the Noble Earl, the value of which was esti-
mated at the lowest at 16,000/. Sir Richard Westmacott and
Sir F. Chantry were also examined in his behalf, and they
spoke very highly of the plaintiff's talent, and agreed that the
estimate of the value of his productions at the above amount,
was a fair and reasrnable one. It was alleged by the evidence,
that the plaintiff had only received from the Earl of Egremont
a very small part of this sum on account, and the balance was
therefore sought to be recovered.
This was the case for the plaintiff.
Sir W. FOLLETT then addressed the Jury for the defen-
dants, and said that those gentlemen had courted the present
public inquiry—they were anxious that every legal demand of
Mr. Carew should be settled, and if he proved that he had any
legal claim upon the estate of the late Noble Earl, they would
cheerfully liquidate it. If, however, after a full investigation,
it should appear that there was no ground for the present claim,
then they were anxious that the verdict of the Jury should
rescue his Lordship's character from the imputation sought to
be cast upon it, an imputation the more serious because he
believed that throughout the whole county, and, indeed, he
might say, everywhere else, an impression was entertained that
there never existed a more high-minded and benevolent noble-
man, or a more munificent patron of the fine arts. Ho would
in the outset inform the Jury that so anxious were the executors
that Mr. Carew's claim should be fairly and fully sifted, that
they had provided the funds to enable him to try the present
issue, without putting him to one farthing expense, The
Learned Counsel proceeded to stat that he would admit that
all the works that had been spoken of by the witnesses
had been executed by the plaintiff, and he wouldalsoadmiot
the amount of their value; but he was prepared t
show that, so far from Mr. Carew having only
re-
ceived
received at different times from Lord Egremont, sums
of money, amounting in the whole to 20,000/., which was
far beyond the estimated value of the sculpture. He then
proceeded to state that he should clearly trace checks of his
Lordship for different amounts, varying from 5001. to 2,0001.
i to arr. Carew, and making in the whole the amount he had
mentioned, so that the Jury would see that Mr. Carew was
not entitled to claim one farthing in addition to what he
had already received. Sir W. Follett then went on to state
that at one time Mr. Carew had claimed no less a sum than
SO,OOOl. from the executors, but he had afterwards very
materially reduced his demand. They, however, considered
that the claim was altogether unfair and extortionate, and that
they were only fulfilling their duty to the memory of the de-
ceased nobleman when they resisted it.
The Learned Counsel was about to call witnesses, when Mr.
THESIGER interposed, and said that, taking it for granted all
the payments alluded to could be p"oved—and from other cir-
cumstances, he thought itbetter that the plaintiff's case should
be withdrawn for the present.
The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT—CamnRinGE, MARcIt 19.
The assizes for this county commenced this afternoon, with
38 prisoners for trial, and 23 causes in the nisi Arius court.
In the calendar are two cases of manslaughter, three of sheep-
stealing, one of rape, one of arson, one of maliciously stabbing,
and several of highway robbery. The civil causes are under-
stood to possess considerable interest, although the two tried
to-day did not justify the understanding.

and Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS and Mr. COCKBURN that of tire
defendant.

This was an action brought to-recover 24/. 10s., the *nine
of a horse, which the plaintiff had purchased of the defeud&it,
and which the defendant had warranted sound, but the horsr"
as plaintiff alleged, had proved to be broken-winded. The
defendant pleaded, first, that he did not warrant the horse ;
and, secondly, that the horse was sound. For the plaint&
several witnesses were called, acme of whom clearly proved
I that a warranty had been given at the time of the gale.,
and others stated, that on the morning after the horse
came home, they sass by its flanks and its nostrils, as well as by
its cough. that the horse was broken-winded, and that from
day to day it got worse, until it was retrfned to the defendant..
On behalf of the defendant, witnesse,a wear called, ens of
whom was a veterinary surgeon, who swore that there wa
nothing the matter with the horse ; that his wind was perfeet;y

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF TW

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Chronicle of this day, refer: ng to acme
Tory calumnies against the Penny Postage question,
says_ :—" The croaker against the Penny Postage in the
Morning Post, with characteristic roguery, quotes only a
portion of our report of Mr. Hill's paper, road to the Ste.
tistical Society, to show that the effect of the Penny Post-
age has been merely to double the number of letters. He
suppressed the other part of the statement, showing the
increase to have been on all chargeable letters 121 pee
cent., and on general post letters alone, 169 per cent."_
The Times thus speaks of the effects of the new Poor.
law Bill :—" But the two leading facts to which we
wish to draw the attention of our readers are the fol-
lowing :—ln the first place, that vagrancy, mendicitv,
and crime have within these five years prodigiously
increased; and secondly, that, with the view of providing
a check against these evils, it has been deemed expedient
to resort to a most expensive and unconstitutional system,
of rural police, the cost of which, when the whole country •
is burdened with its battalions, will be found to be a muse
unendurable exaction than even the old poor laws bud
ever imposed."—The Morning Herald remarks as follows
on the subject of the Privilege question :—" Stockdalc'a
claims have all been sanctioned by the law of the land ;
and the pettifogging trick, by which the 4 tyrant majority'
attempts to swindle Stockdale out of that redress, whic4
the law allows him, is worthy of the assembly which t
sought, at various times, to bully the Judges of the land,
to undermine the constitutional authority of the Ho ,e.
of Lords. The existing law recognizes Stoakdal.:'t
claims to compensation for injury inflicted eat hits,"....
The Morning Advertiser, in a leading article on the
Slave Trade, observes :—" The experience of the !al::
thirty years demonstrates the value-witich an uncbtckett
trade with the negro population miglit be made to assn ea.
In 1808, the whole quantity of paffa oil imported did not
oxceed 200 tons ; in 1838, it amounted to 13,860 tots?
twenty years ago, African timber was unknown to us ; soy
our usual importation amounts to 15,000 loads.
then, is the check to that illimitably beneficial trade whieL
England might open with this productive continent ?
evidences of all travellers in the African interior (tho
dors included) concur in proving that its only rival impeA.
meet is the slave trade."
