FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of

Fashion.)
Materials of silk or worsted are now so varied andbeau
tiful, and also so moderate in price, that in Paris they are
more fashionable than the coloured muslins, or cotton
manufactures, bareges, foulards, persannes, chine, &c.
&c., and a new article imitating lace, lined with colours,
with robes of tarlatane in pink or blue, embroidered in
white tambour, are all fashionable at this moment, in
consequence of the late cold weather. Peignoirs of muslin
lined with silk have been slightly wadded, the
wadding being placed between two breadths of
silk. Deep tucks are much in favour for
organdys, urlatanes, and muslins ; but for gaze
de lain; cachemere, barege, and silk materials, two and
three flounces are preferred. Gimp trimmings continue
to be used for walking dresses and morning negliges.
The newest corsage is high, and full all over, with
sleeves fulled their entire length by means of runners ;
the corsages a la Grecque and en Gerbe are also worn.
Cannezous and fichus are made of plain net en bouil-
lons, with inlets ; high cannezous with long sleeves are
made in this style, the cannezous Camargo with long
cords, embroidered, and the demi decollete with small
sleeves and the waist encircled by small basques
trimmed with lace have a pretty effect on the co-
loured skirts.: Chemisettes of muslin are plisse en
guimpe, and finished with a ruche. Scarfs continue in
universal favour in Paris ; on account of the coldness of
the last month, muslin scarfs: were lined with pink or
blue cachemere, and trimed with fringe to correspond.
The cap'a la Pompadour, with the lace drawn toge-
ther on the centre of the forehead, plain at the sides,
forming wings on the throat, with a bunch of pink
daisies, green currants, &c. on the left side, and rosette
of pink gauze ribbon on the other ;—lace appets inter-
mixed with flowers—the small paysanne cap—and the
pointe, or half handkerchief a la fauchon of point lace,
placed very backward on the head, the ends inter-
mixed with flowers, form the newest style of cap at this
moment.
The youngest ladies now, even in the summer, adopt
coiffures, a sort of medium between the coiffure of hair
and the cap, composed of lace, gause, and ribbons. Bon-
nets do not undergo much change at this season.
Capotes of poult de soie are ornamented with ruches,
and sometimes covered by a voilette of lace : the straight
form is much in favour, either for poult de soie, bouil-
lonne, embroidered organdys, &c. Straw bonnets are
used for morning wear, trimmed with narrow bands of
velvet laid on flat, sometimes confining 'small lace
veils ; the velvet ribbon is arranged in a line of coques
at the back of the bonnet. Pale blue gloves are all the
fashion in Paris ; both long ones and mittens are made
in this shade, closing with a small double button called
gitanos, united by a chain, which admits of their hang-
ing a little beyond the button-hole.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT—Maidstone, July 29.
CIVIL SIDE.
GEORGE V. BANKS, ESQ., AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a dentist,
in Old Burlington-street, against the defendant, the
High Sheriff of the county of Kent, and one of his offi-
cers, for alleged false imprisonment.
Mr. Platt and Mr. Petersdorff were for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Clarkson for the de-
fendant.
Mr. Platt, for the plaintiff, stated the case, and said
that the plaintiff was a respectable gentleman, a member
of the College of Surgeons, and at present carrying on
the business of a dentist in Old Burlington-street, and
he brought the present action against the Sheriff for
having, by his agent, restrained his liberty in the most
unwarrantable manner. The Learned Counsel then
went on to say that a person named Bressy having some
claim upon a gentleman named Cartwright, a cousin to
the plaintiff, he instituted proceedings against him
and obtained in due course a writ for his ar-
rest. That gentleman denied the justice of the
claim made upon him, and having settled all
his other affairs, he was on the point of proceeding
abroad, and it was arranged that he and the plaintiff,
and some other friends should dine together at Graves-
end before his departure, and they accordingly did so,
and, in the midst of the entertainment the plaintiff was
called out of the room by Arnold, a sheriff's officer,
who insisted that he was Mr. Cartwright, and, not-
withstanding the plaintiff's friends assured him that
he was mistaken, and that he was warned by the
plaintiff of the consequences, he persisted in ar-
resting him and conveying him to a lock-up
house, where he was kept until the next night, when
some persons said to Arnold, " God bless me, you've got
the wrong man," and the plaintiff was then set at liberty.
The Learned Counsel then, at some length, pro-
ceeded to comment upon the illegal character of
the act that had been committed, and said that the
conduct of the officer was most unjustifiable, and that
his proper course would have been to have taken
some one with him to identify the party who should
have been taken in execution, and

MORNING SUN.

ANTI-CORN-LA W CONFERENCE
OF MINISTERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir.,—The conference of Ministers of the Gospel, to
be held in Manchester, in reference to the Anti-Corn-
law movement. will have the effect of agitating the
question of clerical interference with politics—than which
no point of daily dispute is more requisite to be under-
stood. My doctrine is decidedly anti-political, and yet
my congregation has appointed me to attend that con-
ference on the side of total and immediate repeal. Corn
being at present under political regulation, let politicians
defend the law, or alter it for another. I purpose to at-
tend as an advocate of liberty, but to have nothing to do
with the upholding of politics. It is a question of poli-
tics or none.
The Spectator, to which you reply in your leader o f
the 26th, is afraid of more sectarianism from the meet-
ing. I wonder at this, considering that paper's usual
liberality. I expect the diffusion of much generous feel-
ing from the discussion, as ministers of all denomina-
tions are invited ; and the question, like that of sla-
very, or any other enormous wrong, is common ground.
There is no less of debateable material than on th ques-
tion of slavery. The withholding of corn, the shutting
of ears to the cry of the poor, and such things, are too
plainly and broadly written for matters of disputation.
Politicians may argue the merits of sliding scales and
fixed duties ; but ministers can only take up the Corn-
law as a moral question. If they take the Bible for
their guide, the only Corn-law they will have to rule by
must be that of Pharaoh, in which the Patriarch Joseph
was the actor. But that was for the saving of life, and
feeding the people ; a fact which shows that despotism
can sometimes do more for the common good than Bri-
tish legislation.
Because this country is half ruined by the doings of a
political priesthood, why should your Contemporary be
alarmed for a meeting of ministers who have no political
existence, and who in principle are either non-political,
or, like myself, anti-political ? There is little probability
that the Church will send her parsons to plead the cause
of the poor, the hungry, and the naked. She is en-
riched by the starvation of the people. She is willing to
say, " Be thou warmed, and clothed, and fed ;" but she
will keep her hold of the key of the corn that is rotting
in bond. Dissenters principally, who eat the bitter fruits
of monopoly, and pine under political scarcity, will send
their ministers to the conference ; and it is not likely
they will take up the defence of politics, under whose
heartless power the country is sinking into demorali-
zation and wretchedness, notwithstanding her amazing
mental energies ; and the whole world is made an arena
of enmity and strife, and a field of bloodshed. No ' • I
expect they will take up the cause of freedom and of
man's rights upon the broad basis of " the glorious liberty
of the sons of God."
Because I am a minister of the gospel of peace, why
will your Contemporary deny me th privilege of meeting
my brothers of all denominations to confer regarding
politics ? He might as well, because lam a teetotaller,
refuse me the right of speaking against drunkenness.
Would he have a monopoly of politics to the fraternity
of the broadsheet, as the parsons would have of reli-
gion ? I hope he will think better on this matter, and
confess that it is possible enough for ministers of religion
to discuss politics, and act in the political world with
firmness and energy, without being politicians.
Many ministers, I am sorry to say, are in the same
error as your Contemporary. They think they have no
business with politics, but,lhould quietly let the rulers
of the world do as they please. They, therefore, bury
themselves among books during the week, but creep to
the pulpit on Sundays. Yet they deceive themselves, for
they all labour to have their doctrines made universal,
and say that in that event war will be no more. If they
are right in that expectation, they labour by theit preach-
ing to realise greater political revolutions than the world
has yet seen. They labour for the overthrow of every
Government in the world. Where, when their aims are
attained, will be the military power and honour
by which Royalty and Nobility have all their glory?
The younger branches of aristocracy must then be ho-
nestly and usefully employed. The coercion of law will
be over and gone. Compulsory taxation will be no more.
And in every social regulation the voice from the Throne
will be realised, " Behold, I make all things new." In
every sentence that a minister utters, either in the pulpit
or out of it, that infuses the spirit of peace into his
hearers, he meddles with politics, and undermines exist-
ing institutions.
It is one of my highest and most pleasing duties to
wean my congregation from politics, and to illustrate the
happiness of a world governed by moral power ; to show
its practicability from the creation of all nations of men
into one blood ; and its hopefulness from the revelations
of the Gospel. Yet I interfere much with politics, and
always join the people, when, as in the Anti-Corn-law
movement, their object is the lessening the quantity. In
the lessening of the quantity, I believe all-political im-
provement to have its being.
I am, Sir, a general admirer of your principles,
A DISSENTING MINISTER.

MANIFESTO OF THE NEW
GREEK MINISTRY.

ADDRESS OF PRINCE MAVROCORDATO TO THE GOVER-
NORS AND DEPUTY-GOVERNORS OF THE KINGDOM ON
BEING APPOINTED HEAD OF THE NEW CABINET.

The King has deigned to confide to me the direction
of the affairs of the interior. Having accepted this im-
portant mission, I shall do my utmost to execute his
Majesty's wishes, but I, nevertheless, hope to succeed
but through your active and vigilant assistance. Calling
it, therefore, to my aid, I here expose to you how I think
your assistance may be useful, and may attain the end
that his Majesty's Government has in view.
It is of the foremost necessity that impartiality should
be the guide of all your administrative acts. A Gover-
nor, who is the organ of the Government and of the law,
can belong to none of the opinions or parties which may
divide those under his administration. Constantly the
same towards all citizens, a Governor must always bear
in mind that his highest and most general mission is to
protect them all, considering them as equals in his pre-
sence, as well as before the law which he represents.
It is indispensable that you should well understand
that the Government of his Majesty, respecting indivi-
dual opinions and sympathies, never seeks to penetrate
either into the consciences, or into the hearts of the citi-
zens, and that he protects no opinion or sympathy, so
far as it is made a direct or indirect cause of injustice or
disobedience to the law ; illegal acts should be every-
where suppressed, to whatever class the offending party
may happen to belong. But in order that this desirable
end should be perfectly attained, you should, gentlemen,
give the first example of respect for the law, the safe-
guard of property, of individual honour and liberty,
against which the Government of his Majesty will not
allow any attempt to be made on any pretence.

The Government of his Majesty has particularly at
heart to protect the free action of those institutions which
call citizens to assist in the work of Government. For
the execution of these laws, either when, by the election
of the communal or provincial authorities, or after their
installation, the law should invest you with a control to
exercise over them, I demand, in the first case, that your
intervention should be pacific and conciliatory ; that it
should be confined within the limits of the law, and that
in no case its object should be to use any influence in
elections, as the Government is most deeply interested in
the elections expressing sincerely and unequivocally the
sentiments of the electors. In the second case, and
reminding you that the welfare of the State results
from a good communal and provincial administra-
tion, you should employ all the authority with
which the law invests you to introduce order into
the municipal administration, to grant your prompt
assistance whenever the law requires it, and by
that means to encourage the moral and intellec-
tual development of the State. You will, above all
things, act with the strictest severity against those who,
abusing the warrant of their fellow-citizens, and the con-
fidence of the Government, make use of their authority
for the promotion of their personal interests, and per-
vert, to the detriment of the people, those laws which
have been only established for their benefit. You should
i
also exercise a strict surveillance over all the public evt;
ployes placed under your jurisdiction, for the Government
will consider the Governors as responsible for allis abuses
dmuty,
which may arise from their negligenceof th

with the party, or from being themselves

if divisions
should
manifest themselves between the different powers in
some provinces, for reciprocal respect and sincere con-
cord between the authorities themselves strengthen the
Government as much as disagreements amongst them
paralyses and weakens its strength. And on the other
hand, how can the Government succeed in calming those
passions which may occasionally disturb society, if the
Government itself is composed of members amongst
whom dissent and disagreement reign ?
The Hellenic Society, gentlemen, revived by the aid
of Divine Providence, is composed of interests and
rights which require support and protection ; but you
should always call to mind that the most sacred right
due to society, is to ameliorate its condition by the wel-
fare of each of its members, and by the development of
all its moral and physical powers ; and, consequently,
all private interests must give way before the general
interests of society. It belongs to you then, gentlemen,
to assist this development—the forerunner of a wise li-
berty—by a resolute and unflinching protection, as well
as by impartial justice to all, which is the most noble at-
tribute of any Government.
I consider it superfluous, gentlemen, to encourage you
in your important labours by promises, for governmental
activity and wisdom are rewarded by the gratitude of
the governed, and by the satisfaction to the governing of
having well performed their duty. But as it is always
the duty of the Government to reward the capacity and
the patriotism of those employed under it, and as the so-
ciety is a gainer by being served by honoured magis-
trates, I shall recommend to Royal favour all those who
distinguish themselves in the administrative career.
(Signed) A. MAVROCORDATO,
Athens, July 8, 1841. Minister of the Interior.

BRUSSELS, JULY 27.—The rise in the price
of corn last Is eek, in consequence of the continuance of
bad weather, has rendered an augmentation of the price
of bread necessary. Up to this day, which is the 207th
of the year, we had rain on 100 days, not reckoning those
on which snow fell.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—The Times and Standard are toiling
hard to set up their party with political capital sufficient
te enable them to carry on the business of Government.
The substance of sundry elaborately constructed articles
sonounts to this : a promise that when in power the
Tories will, in matters of expediency, do what is most
expedient ; in matters of principle, they will be exceed-
ingly well principled ; and where morality interferes
with Government, thy will be remarkably virtuous.
What more can a reasonable public desire ; unless, per-
haps, some definite exposition of what measures, in the
present state of the country, they deem expedient ; what
great political or social truths constitute the principles
of their faith ; and what kind or degree of immorality
is to disqualify for the honours of their Cabinet and
their paradise of place. On all these points we
are hitherto left in the dark. It only appears that
the party has to seek for its policy, its principles, and
its morality ; and that it hopes to find such as will give
satisfaction enough to tolerate their continued possession
of the good things of office, when once they have got
then. But the need for such prolegomena to the com:ng
week shows the anticipation of difficulty amongst them-
eelvee and of probable failure with the public. When,
after a much longer course of opposition, the Liberals
returned to office, their future system was distinctly, and
without any occasion for further explanation, marked out
by three words, " Peace, economy, and reform." The
country knew what they meant. The words embodied
the main objects after which they had been striving. The
Tory opposition has followed no course capable of being
characterised in a similar manner. It his not even
defined purposes to embody ; or if it has, they are
not avowed, nor would their avowal be recommen-
datory. Negatively, we know that they will not
conic in on the grounds of peace, economy, and reform;°
positively, they can tell us nothing more intelligible or
precise, than that they will consult (as who would not?)
expediency, principle, and morality. And they put forth
thus much, partly because something must be said to the
public, though it be only the vaguest generality in the
world; and partly because some of them feel that others are
for driving on in a most inexpedient train of practical mea-
sures; some of them protest against others as utterly de-
void of that high principle without which politics are
only the struggle of sordidness or personal ambition ;
and some of them are afraid that others, who are noto-
rioesly profligate, deeply and indelibly " tainted," yet
hold such a position in the party as to be likely to " force
themselves into office," to the great embarrassment of
the reluctant Premier, who is deplorably hung up be-
tween their party influence and their public odium.
TIMES.—It is a happy omen of the prospects of the
British nation under Sir Robert Peel's Government, that
the definition of Conservatism given by the Right Hon.
B.tronet in his Tamworth speech is one which every true
Conservative will acknowledge to be complete and accu-
rate. The Conservatives are " determined to maintain
vu their ancient ftundations the institutions of the coun-
try in Church and State." They are determined; their
seesolution upon this point is one which cannot be shaken;
it is with them a first principle ; and they must abandon
c,:iee rather than recede from it in the least degree.
But it is not to the outward forms or the existing modi-
fieations of the institutions that they are attached, but to
tih s intrinsic fundamental principles. So far as the insti-
tutions are consistent with these, they will uphold them;
if in anything they have departed from these they
will bring them back. Moving or standing still, this
will be their rule ; it will be the magnet which attracts
them to a state of quiescence, or the compass which
directs them over their course of necessary reforms.
The ancient foundation of the institutions of the state of
C teat Britain, and the original source of all those won-
derful effects which we use the expression civil liberty
to describe, is the principle of self-government under sa-
:utary laws, grounded upon the basis of religion, and se-
cured by the nicely-balanced distribution of political
power. Most persons perceive the broad outlines under
v.hich this principle is developed in the separation of the
judicial, executive, and legislative powers from each
other—a separation complete enough for a salutary inde-
pendence of action, yet not so absolute as to permit their
mutual collision, or impede the harmonious co-operation
of the whole. Again, in the constitution of the le,gisla-
the body, it is easy to see how the variableness and im-
petuosity of popular will in the House of Commons are
tempered to consistency and soberness by the weight of
permanent interests and traditional authority in the
House of Lords. And in the constitution of the House
of Commons itself it requires no minute analysis to
discover the same admirable composition of opposite
forces. The proportions in which representation is as-
signed to the different constituent parts of the people,
modified as they have been by the Reform Bill, are such
113 to give, upon the whole, a body indisposed to violent
ee revolutionary action, yet unequivocally, and to the
-aeiefitction of the whole nation, discharging the func-
tiees of a popular assembly. The electoral body, which
is the basis of the House of Commons itself, consists not
of the entire population, but of all who, upon a liberal
estimate, grounded upon their circumstances in life, can
be presumed to possess the necessary degree of intelli-
gence and independence for the franchise. Yet these
are not placed in a position which would enable them to
exercise the power given to them for public purposes
without responsibility to the rest of the community ;
what they do must be done openly, and the right of in-
fluencing and judging them by the free expression of
opinion, and of visiting them with those rewards and pe-
nalties which opinion can bestow or inflict, is reserved to
every individual citizen.
ADVERTISER.—The position of Sir Robert Peel,
as the proximate Premier of the greatest nation in the
world, is one of the most momentous which ever a human
being was destined to occupy. Forced on his Sovereign
and his country by a combination of circumstances which
it was wholly beyond their power to control, it depends
,ntirely on *himself whether his Administration will be
productive of unspeakable good to Great Britain, or
whether it will prove the source of manifold evils of the
greatest magnitude. Had the Right Hon. Baronet come
into office, as it was the general impression, previous to
the election, he would, by a measuring-cast majority,
his capabilities for good or evil would have been very
considerably circumscribed. He would have felt'himself
to be the mere creature of circumstances, and con-
sfejnently compelled to adapt himself, as he best
sight, to a state of things which, as it was brought
about entirely irrespective of any agency of his
an in he would have seen to be beyond the limits of
his power materially to modify. Awl paralysed
by the pressure of this consideration, he must necessarily
Lae abandoned all idea of casting aside the trammels of
peety, and conducting the Government of the country on
these independent principles which a Minister placed
beyond the pale of party influences could alone adopt,
ithout periling the very existence of his administra-
tilt]. He must have perceived the absolute necessity of
s rearing every important measure by the previously-
ascertained principles and prejudices of those on whose
breath hung the very being of his Government. What-
ever may have been his own convictions of right, they
roust have been sacrificed on the altar of expediency ;
and that expediency not possessing the redeeming
quality of being calculated to promote the public
good, but restricted within the narrow limits of his
Hon.
advantage. If the existence of the Right
Hon. Gentleman's Government had been destined to
depend, as that of Lord Melbourne's notoriously has de-
pended for the last few years, on some ten or a dozen
votes, then he would have found himself reduced to the
humiliating necessity of not propounding any important
measure which would have come in hostile contact with
the prejudices or interests of any half-dozen or dozen of
individuals, his numerous supporters. Only imagine, as
an illustration in point, what must have been the mea-
sure of Sir Robert's mortification, if he had been placed
in a position in which he could not, without periling
the very existence of his Government, have ventured to
propose any particular course of policy which might,
perchance, incur the disapprobation of Colonel Sib-
therpe, Mr. Peter Borthwick, Mr. D'lsraeli, and
ne other half-dozen persons that might be named,
e ally renowned for their wisdom, and possessing a
corresponding moral weight in the country. The great
mere erical majority which the Right Hon. Baronet has
eie:eined ensures his exemption from so painful and de-
ssrin a position. He commences his Ministerial
• s e-
f.treer under all the encouragement which can be derived
fesen a, conviction, verging on a moral certainty, that he
will be able to carry all his measures, without reference
to their intrinsic merits, by what, in the language of the
play-bill phraseology, so much in vogue at the minor thea-
tres, would be called " brilliant and overflowing" majori-
ties. The destinies of the country are thus placed at the
mercy of a single man, to an extent which may well
fill the mind of every reflecting person over whom our
gracious Sovereign sways her sceptre with fear and
trembling.
HERALD.—The Ministerial Journals chuckle with
delight over the anticipated difficulty Sir Robert Peel
will have in negotiating a renewal of our commercial
treaty with Brazil. How, they exclaim with rapture,
will the Right Hon. Baronet preserve the Brazilian mar-
ket to our manufactures, if he refuses to admit slave-
grown sugar ? It is difficult to say whether there be
greeter ignorance or impudence in this question. But
the reply to it is as easy as it is satisfactory. The reduc-
tion of our duties on foreign sugar is, we fearlessly as-
sert, not necessary to the preservation of the Brazilian
market, and for a very simple reason. Sugar is ra-
Filly ceasing to be the chief article of Brazilian export.
The cultivation of the sugar-cane has hitherto been the
cause of the continuance of Brazil in the brutal slave-
trade ; it has prevented the increase of the slave popula-
tion of that empire, and has thereby created an irresistible
premium for the robbery of human beings from the shores
of Africa for the sugar-fields of Brazil. Neither the cul-
tivetion of the coffee nor the cotton plants is fatal to
slave life. The negr, oes engaged in the lighter and
healthier occupation of working in the coffee plantations
c'h, not decrease in numbers, and they are the parents of a
vee.goris offspring. It is not, therefore, surprising that
has become the staple export of the Brazilian em-
pire. In 1830 there were exported from Rio de Janeiro
391,785 bags of coffee ; in 1841, there were exported
1,051,190 bags. In 1838, there were exported from
the same port 16,417 cases of sugar ; in 1840, only
9,253. The increased exportation of coffee, and the
diminished exportation of sugar from Pernambuco and
Be hia, are also as remarkable as from Rio, and
ineontestibly establish the fact we have stated.
Brazilian coffee has for some years been entered for
home consumption on payment of the duty on that
article when imported from within the limits of the
Best India Company's charter, by being previously sent
round to the Cape of Good Hope, and there trans-ship-
ped for England as East Indian coffee. A reduction of
the duty on Brazilian coffee,would then neither seriously
ir.jnre our own colonies, nor expose them to new rivals,
nor would it give an impetus to the Brazilian slave trade,
•eshile it would preserve to our manufacturers the benefit
of the Brazilian markets, and give our population the
benefit of cheapness in a ost nutritious beverage ; and
in Clis 'stay Sir Robert Peel may easily escape from the
dialculties hailed by his. factious opponents. Whether he
NNW adopt this mode it is not our business to inquire :
we notice only to expose the frivolous objects which are

I conjured up to alarm the country by the organs of a de-
feated faction.
POST.—We cannot too strongly reprobate the wicked-
ness, the folly, and the effrontery of the beaten Whig-
Radicals Who go about proclaiming that the distreSs o
the poor is to be attributed to the non-adoption of their
policy, and that, whatever continuance of that distress
there may be, must be laid to the account of those who
I have opposed, and continue to oppose, that policy. This
sympathy with the condition of the poor is something
new on the part of the Whig-Radical faction. We do
not recollect to . have heard much about it during the
ten years that they were in power. We do not remem-
ber any act of theirs as Ministers or Legislators which
indicated that they were in the least conscious of hard-
ships suffered by the poor which it was in the power of
Statesmen to alleviate. Strange that, just at the
moment when their power is gone, they should dis-
cover that the relief of the distresses of the poor is
very possible if Whig-Radicals were but allowed to
carry into effect the new political projects which they
have conceived ! Is any one so stupid as to believe in
the soundness of their new policy, or in the sincerity of
their aspirations for bettering the condition of the la-
bouring poor ? We believe scarcely one beyond the
pale of their own faction. The working men of Great
Britain are not so easily cajoled after they have had their
experience. The Whig-Radicals say that their lately
proposed policy would relieve the distresses of the work-
ing people, and that they who oppose this policy are,
and will be, responsible for the people's distress. But
let us ask who were, up to the present time, the opponents
of this very policy ? Who was it that, even last year, op-
posed the lowering of the duties on foreign sugar, and said
that any attempt on the part of Government to overthrow
the existing Corn-laws would only produce agitation and
confusion without any ultimate benefit ? Why, it
was the leaders of these Whig-Radicals who did so. The
very same men who now propose foreign sugar, and
foreign corn, as an absolute panacea for the distresses
of th poor, and who heap virulent abuse upon all who
doubt its efficacy, were themselves no further off than
last year the opponents of any such policy. Was there
never any distress of the poor until now? or how does it
happen that Conservatives ought to be pointed out by
Whig-Radicals to popular execration for opposing this
policy which last year was opposed by the Whig-Radi-
cals themselves ? The fraud in this matter is as palpa-
ble as the violence. The sympathy now professed for
the poor by the Whig-Radicals, is nothing better than a
pretence and an affectation.
GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel has done us the horour to
devote no small portion of the speech, which our readers
will find in another part of our columns, to noticing two
paragraphs, which he has found in the Globe. We
feel that we have really conferred some obligation on
the Right Hon. Baronet by furnishing him something to
talk about,—and we are not surprised that he prefers run-
ning down such very small deer as the little bits of
gossip in question, which greatness might, afford to dis-
regard, to meet the more impettant i,bjeetions
brought against him by even Conservatives of sincere
character, like those of the British Critic, and which,
also, we have transferred to our columns.' We are quite
free to say that we believe Sir Robert Peel spotless from
the stigma of secret instructions to his steward to with-
hold sixteen and sixpence ; we do not think that our
Tamworth correspondent intended to make such a charge;
but if he did, we utterly disclaim intending to entertain
it. As to the other club gossip, that Sir Robert means
to convert the Queen, on that point also, we agree with
the Examiner that it is not likely Sir Robert should have
said so, as he is not so apt to say what he thinks. No; as Sir
Robert says, that would be " acting the part of an irregular
practitioner, the part of a quack doctor,and not of a profes-
sional man, who should profess that he had some inva-
luable nostrum which, without being consulted by the
patient, or allowed to feel his pulse, would prove a per-
fect remedy for whatever disease he might labour under.
I therefore, gentlemen, must continue steadily to refuse
to offer my advice until I have access to the patient, and
all those advantages of consultation, without which no pro-
per advice can be given." Sir Robert Peel says he refers
to these things without anger or irritation. We can
readily believe him : we can well believe that "if they do
injury to any one it will be to those who occupy them-
selves with such contemptible matters." We can assure
the Right. Hon. Baronet that they form no part of the
elements of the judgment we have endeavoured to form,
on larger grounds, of his public character ; and we only
hope that, since his researches into the columns of the
Globe are so vigilant, he will contrive to find there things
of more importance than ephemeral on dits. The Right
Hon. Baronet's regard to our humble labours tempts us
to hope that instead of his converting our Queen to To-
ryism, we may possibly have the honour of assisting his
conversion to Liberalism, and gently correcting the less
auspicious tendencies of his character and connections.
STANDARD.—One of the arguments against Lord
Stanley's Bill chiefly relied upon was, the rapid diminu-
tion of the freeholders' registry in Ireland already. We
explained at the time that this diminution, whatever it
was, might be the consequence of causes unconnected
with any modification of the law, or any particular line
of conduct on the part of landlords ; in short, that if
it happened not to be a pleasant thing to be a regis-
tered freeholder, the registry would, of course, decline.
Now, we copied yesterday from the Carlow Sentinel
a report of a trial, which furnishes inter alia some
anecdotes of the " wild sports" of the priests, that
we think must prove very clearly the condition of an
Irish registered freeholder to be the reverse of agreeable.
Hunting has been always a favourite recreation with our
species, but it is hunting in the active, not the passive
application. From the days of Nimrod down to the last
razzia of General Baraguay d'Hilliers, or Fathers Mahon
and Murphy, or of a contractor for the United States
slave market, no human being ever took delight in being
hunted. Nevertheless the trial to which we refer proves
beyond all doubt that a registered freeholder is in Ire-
land regarded exactly as a beast of chase, whom
the reverend pastors of the Church of Rome
may pursue for their exercise and solace, or any
other purpose, hunt at pleasure, and having run him
down, tie him and dispose of him as shall seem to them
fit. Indeed, the reverend sportsmen do not even allow
the law which is secured to the. nobler class of animals of
the forest. They do not scruple.' to take him in his form,
and even to stop the'eunieie to ensure that he shall have
no chance of escape. This is droll; but what is not droll in
Ireland, where, having knocked a man's brains out, they
garnish the corpse with bow knots, tastefully formed from
his smaller intestines ? Droll, however, as is the holy
hunt of freeholders, it is not more droll than certain.
The trial to which we refer proves the existence of
the practice, and the extent to which it is indulged in.
COURlER.—Nothing, it appears, short of the most
explicit declaration of principles, and a definite exposition
of what measures the yet unformed Conservative Cabinet
may deem expedient in the present state of the country,
can now satisfy the Whig Press. Their longings in this
respect are, we think, as unreasonable as their upbraid-
ings and complaints are gratuitous and groundless.
Wherever and whenever'Occasion demanded, or a legiti-
mate opportunity offered, we are not aware that Sir
Robert Peel, or, any preminent member of his party,
ever shrunk from a candid and manly avowal of general
principles. More on 'their parts were uncalled-for
and unwise. So far from shrouding their opinions in
mystery, or cloaking their meaning under the
convenient form of vague generalities, as the Whig prints
falsely allege, the Conservatives have at all times been
remarkable for the fullest, the clearest, and most em-
phatic enunciation of their opinions and principles. There
is no question of the day, whether appertaining to fiscal
regulations, or the higher tenets of general policy, on
which the leading members ofsthe Conservative party
have not placed on record their sentiments, with unre-
served, and as some might think, unguarded candour.
How perfectly groundless is then the charge of a want
of explicitness in their exposition of principles, and how
unreasonable is the demand now made upon them for a
programme of their intentions and measures. As far as
is consistent with propriety in his present position, with
prudence as the head of a Ministry yet to be formed, and
with respect for those destined to be his future col-
leagues, Sir R. Peel has already laid before the country a
clear and complete outline of the principles he will recog-
nise and act upon when in office. The formula in which
this has been expressed is as comprehensive as it is ac-
curate. " The Conservatives are resolved upon main-
taining on their ancient foundations the institutions of
the country, in Church and State." This, which is the
true interpretation of Conservatism—the very essence of
its creed—is not, forsooth, sufficiently explicit to please
the morbid curiosity of Ministerial prints.

MONEY' MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

TIMES.—The great in the money market at
New York was the acknowledged inability of Mr. Noble,
the Indiana Commissioner, to provide funds for the pay-
ment of the July dividends on Indiana Stocks, and, to
meet the emergency of the moment, it was stated that
he
was about to issue 7 per cent. bonds to those who
might be willing to accept them in lieu of cash for the
coupons. There still seemed to be no want of money for
discount and exchange purposes, and, notwithstanding,
there is not sufficient business to consume
the iloatino•
meats mad capital, e in Stocksthere were nevertheless few invest-
Since last advices, the prices of
the various descriptions not been much acted on ;

In the New York papers we find 2. the details of the ex..
port of domestic goods from the United States for the
years 1837, 1838, 1839, and 1840, during which period
and
there appears to have been a greatprogressive in-
crease, their total value for the last

*
manufactures, at $6,425,727 ; and not enumerated, at
$1,143,801. The general improvement exhibited in this
summary is mainly ascribed to the steadiness of business
at moderate rates.
POST.—We learn upon authority which may, we
believe, be fully depended on, that the funds necessary
for the liquidation of the Chilian dividend falling due in
September next, at the rate of six per cent. per annum,
are already in the hands of the party in Europe, charged
with.their appropriation. Apart from the adjustment of
the overdue interest up to 1840, the Chilian Government
are now fulfilling their engagements with the bond-
holders to the strict letter of the original contract ; a
circumstance that should operate as an example or sti-
mulus to the older and prouder nations, who are under
such heavy liabilities to their foreign creditors.
We understand also that, by the next packet, replies
from the Government of Buenos Ayres to the letters of
General Moreno, relative to the claims of the English
bondholders may be expected. The clmmerce of the
republic is represented to us as being vastly upon the in-

crease. With this increase of commercial activity, an g
increase of revenue must follow as a matter of cer-
tainty. It may be mentioned further, that the recently-
executed treaty, called the " Machu Treaty," which it
has been attempted to set aside, has received the un-
qualified approbation of the ,whble Court of the Tuile-
ries, the explanations afforded upon the subject by Senor
Moreno having given his Majesty Louis Philippe, as
well as M. Guizot and his colleagues, the fullest satis-
faction. The treaty, under these circumstances, may
be considered, notwithstanding the rumours to the con-
trary, as definitive, and one that will be strictly adhered
to in all its provisions by both countries parties to the
arrangement.
From Panama a further sum has come to hand on
account of the payment of dividends on the New Gra-
nada portion of the debt of Colombia. The amount re-
mitted in the present instance (2,500 dollars) is but
trifling ; and the disturbed condition of the Republic
may, for the moment, prevent any considerable augmen-
tation. It is to be borne in mind, however, that there is
a sum of 300,000 dollars which has been for some time
deposited in the Bank of England, subject to the orders
of Senor Mosquera, the Minister from New Gra-
nada, for distribution among the bondholders. Num-
bers of these persons, after being kept out of their
dividends so many years, would be greatly re-
lieved by the payment of an instalment, were it ever
so small, as in the case of the sister State of Vene-
zuela, which has already paid two dividends upon the re-
duced scale. M. Mosquera should consider this, for, if
the money is to be thus withheld from year to year, it
might as well never have been remitted at all, and better
in fact, for it is cruel that the sufferers should be tanta-
lised with the knowledge that it is here, yet retained
within the grasp of a Minister without any intelligible
motive.

The bondholders in addressing us on this subject, seem
to think that the Spanish American committee might
with great propriety, and without risking any charge of
a want of courtesy, renew their exertions in behalf of
their constituents, in order to procure for them a some-
thing, at the earliest possible period, out of the fund re-
ferred to. Chili and Venezuela might, no doubt, with
equal justice leave the moneys transmitted for the use of
their European creditors undisposed of.

THE LATE FAST APPOINTED BY
THE SCOTCH KIRK.
" Dearly beloved brethren—Grace be unto you, and
peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ. It has seemed good unto us, being assembled
with one accord, to invite and call all the flock, over the
the which the Holy Ghost bath made us overseers, to
join with us in devoting to the solemn exercises of hu-
miliation, of thanksgiving, and of prayer, a convenient
day which, in virtue of the authority committed to us
by our King and Head, we have set apart for that
holy end."
Thus commences a pastoral address, signed by
Robert Gordon in the name of the General As-
sembly of the Presbyterian Kirk of Scotland, and
read in all the churches the Sunday before last. Such
is the apostolic style, and far more than apostolic impe-
riousness assumed by a body of clergy, one-third of whom
do not even profess to preach the doctrine of the Church
with which they are associated, but just the opposite—
another third of whom, whilst they promulgate its creed,
exhibit none of its influence—and the remaining part of
whom concur with the others in practically unchurCh-
ing, if not unchristianising, that half of their nation
that cannot pronounce their State-church shibboleth.
Thus authoritatively speak those Lords over God's heri-
tage, who, clinging convulsively to State pay, refuse
State control—the Moderator of whose Assembly agreed
with the Edinburgh clergy in wringing their paltry pence
from Russell and others by imprisonmen and distraint—and
who, when some years since the present Corn-laws were
seemingly threatened, met in presbyteries and petitioned
against such relief to the poor, because it would affect
their grain-paid stipends. " Met with one accord,"
they divide by narrow majorities ; and " in virtue of the
authority committed to them by their King and Head,"
they, as State-Churchmen, usurp the authority which,
in all former times, their church has recognised as vested
in the Civil Magistrate. More than half the flock over
which, with canting impiety, they declare the Holy Ghost
has made them overseers, is their's only because they
arrogantly claim them, and the afflictions on account of
which they call upon the nation to humble themselves,
are the afflictions of clergymen who cannot retain state
pay without submitting to state interference. Whether
this be blind self-delusion, or nauseous hypocrisy, or
both, we know not—but this we do know, that it is a
complete burlesque upon religion.
The address goes on to state that " the Lord has a
controversy with his church on account of their sins,"
and asserts that " the troubles and perils of an ex-
ternal nature in which their beloved Church is involved,
being connected in respect of time, and partly also in
the way of natural consequence, with particular mea-
sures adopted, or with a particular line of conduct fol-
lowed, although it might seem to be the mark and token
of God's disapprobation of what has been done, must
not be so interpreted by mere human and earthly wis-
dom—and that if, in repairing the breaches of former
generations trouble and danger come, so far from thinking
that any strange thing has befallen them, they who
thus suffer are still called upon to testify that
the Lord is righteous, and that all his ways
are just and true." We confess, our blood
boils with indignation as we write their monstrous
perversion of Scripture sentiment and language.
Why what, in the end, are these men threat-
ened with? neither more nor less than the loss of their
endowments. The State claims to interfere in the
Church's affairs simply because the State finds the
money. Would they but throw up.their compulsorily-
exacted emoluments, they would enjoy the spiritual in-
dependence, the invasion of which calls for a day of spe-
cial humiliation. But spiritual independence is in their
estimation too expensive to be sacrificed at the cost of
teinds. And what they cannot consent to have at the ex-
pense of gold, they will obtain from heaven, if possible,
by fasting and prayer. " Give us the independence and
leave us the money too," is the burden of their supplica-
tion. " We cannot surrender the wealth, but we are over-
whelmed with distress at the subordination to civil law
which the wealth entails. Set us free from •the grasp of
Courts of Session with the money in our pockets."
" Why," ask these reverend divines, with a simplicity
which, were it not for its shocking impiety, would be ex-
quisitely amusing—" why, instead of increased stability
and security imparted to our , possession of temporal pri-
vileges and advantages, do we find them all put in immi-
nent jeopardy, many great and powerful foes ranged
against us, and new difficulties from day to day arising,
amid which we are more and more every day shut up to
the necessity of crying, Help, Lord, for vain is the help
of man.' " The answer supplied by themselves is equally
characteristic. " These things are manifest evidences of
there being some accursed thing in the midst of us—
some root of bitterness--.-some blot cleaving to our
hands." Aye ! the wedge of gold and the Baby-
lonish garment explains all—this is " the accursed
thing," and the imprisonment of conscientious men
because they will not bow the knee to the image which
clerical tyranny has set up, this is." the blot cleaving to
their hands." The foul stain has sunk into the skin, and
nothing can wipe out. The mark of the beast is upon
the arrogant, persecuting kirk—and she is doomed to fall
by her own misdeeds. She is now feeding upon the ashes
of her own pride, and drinking the nauseous cup which
her own ambition and avarice has mingled. Down to the
dregs will she be compelled to drain it, and none will pity
her calamity. Let her but loose her hold upon the teinds,
and her troubles would cease.
We cannot pursue this address further. The confor-
mity- to the world which she professes to deplore,
she produces by her system and encourages by her exam-
ple. A church living in the embraces of the State can
no more keep up earnctt religion, and separation from the
world than can the immodest promote and sustain the
virtue of chastity. When the General Assembly thinks
fit again to appoint a (lay of fasting for the nation, on
account of ecclesiastical difficulties, we recommend to
their serious notice a passage of Scripture far more ap-
propriate than any quoted in this pastoral address.
" Wash you—make you clean, put away the evil of your
doings from before mine eyes—cease to do evil—learn
to do well—seek judgment—relieve the oppressed."—
The Non-Conformist.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS' COURT, July 29.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. DULWICH COLLEGE.

At the sitting of the Court this morning, the Master
of the Rolls gave judgment in the above case, which
has been before him ever since 1836. It was' an ex-
officio inforMation filed by the Attorney-General upon
the certificate of the Charity Commissioners for a de-
claration of the Court, of who were the parties entitled
to participate in the funds and revenues belonging to the
College ; that the charity ought to be extended, and
that directions should be given by the Court for carry-
ing into effect the intentions of the founder ; also that
the number of scholars should be increased, and that it
be referred to the master, to inquire what alterations
ought to be made in the scheme of the College. The
College was founded under a license granted to Richard
Alleyne, Esq., in 1619, and it was settled to consist of a
master, a warden, four fellows, 12 poor brethren, 12 poor
sisters, and 12 poor scholars, and in 1620, he conveyed
the lands " for the sole and only use of the Master War-
den, &c." as above, " for and unto no other intention
whatsoever." Subsequently to the endowment of the
College, the founder, after stating the duties of the Mas-
ter, Warden, and other officers, appointed six chanters,
to be called Junior Fellows, and six assistants, together
with thirty out-members, ten of whom were to be taken
or appointed from the parish of St. Botolph, Bishops-
gate, ten from what is now the parish of St. Luke, and
ten from St. Saviour, Southwark. The Learned Lord
here went through a history of the proceedings which
took place before Archbishop Sheldon in 1686, before
Archbishop Wake in 1724, and Lord Chancellor King in
1728. He came to the proceedings under the present
information, which was filed in 1836, in consequence
of the inquiries made by the Charity Commissioners, and
in which it was alleged that the present members of the
College received greater benefits from its funds than
were contemplated by the founder, and that their
incomes had been improperly increased by reason of the
non-appointment of the six chanters, the six assistants,
and thirty out-members, to which the defendant alleged
that the appointment of the: chanters, &c. was void, and
that the money belonging to the College was applied
among the members according to the directions of the
founder upon his endowing the College. Now, he
was of opinion, that had the College taken
anything under the will .of the founder, or
if it appeared that he had ever benefited the
College after his settling the first scheme, a
trust for the poor of the parishes named would have been
created, and of course it would be the duty of the Court
to execute it. But his opinion was, as neither of those
things appeared, that the founder was not entitled to
alter the scheme of the College after he had endowed it,
or to apply the funds to any other purpose whatever
after he had made over the lands for its use. If there
were any irregularities in the manner of conouctieg the

affairs. of the College, there was a special visitor ap-
pointed who bad power to correct them. He thought
there was no trust to be executed by the Court. The
information must then be dismissed.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 29.
BAYLDEN V. THE BARNSLEY WATER WORKS COMPANY.
The arguments in this case, which was part heard yes-
terday, were resumed this morning, and occupied his
Honour the entire morning.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—JuIy 29.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONI3LANQUE.)

IN THE MATTER OF SARDINSON, WESTON, AND MURCH.
The bankrupts under this fiat had been warehousemen
in Wood-street, Cheapside.

Messrs. Sardinson and Weston having previously been
examined, this day was appointed for the adjourned ex-
amination of the remaining party, Mural.
The Learned COMMISSIONER having put the questions
to the bankrupt touching his assets, &c., usual previous
to a final examination, _ _

Mr. Atkinson, the official assignee, said, as there was
a very strong impression upon the minds of some of the
creditors that the bankrupt had not made a full statement
in his balance-sheet, concerning some property to which
he was entitled in reversion, he wished to question him
particularly on that point.
Mr. Murch declared again that he had made the fullest
and fairest explanation that lay in his power.
Mr. Commissioner FONULANQUE said he considered
the bankrupt entitled to pass his final examination.

IN THE MATTER OF G. A. BRADFORD.
A point having arisen in this case, concerning a proof
on a bill alleged to have been handed over to Abbott, one
of the official assignees of this Court, against whom a
fiat of bankruptcy had been issued some time since.
The LEARNED COMMISSIONER, after some debts had
been proved, ordered the case to stand over for a week
without special adjournment.

SHERIFF'S COURT, July 29.
MARIE MULOT V. AMELIA DEUTICII.

This was an action to recover the sum of 121. 145., for
goods sold and delivered, to which the defendant pleaded
not indebted.

Mr. Thomas conducted the case for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Doane appeared for the defendant.

The plaintiff is a milliner and dressmaker, carrying on
business in the -Lowther Arcade, and the defendant re-
sides in Bury-street, St. James's, and who was stated to
a modiste.

The first witness called, Mrs. Bassoine, stated that
she recommended the defendant as a customer to the
plaintiff, and that she ordered several satin dresses, at
different times, several of which she had seen her wear.
Wm. Bulow, a porter in the employ of the plaintiff,
said he recollected taking home in October last several
dresses to the house of the defendant. He gave the
dresses to the defendant, and she paid him 31. on account.
Cross-examined—Well knows the dresses to have
been made of satin, as he was to have a stock out of
each: When he took the dresses home,
three young ladies were called down stairs to look at
them, and witness heard them say " How well we shall
look when we go out to night."—(Laughter.)
Martha Mountain proved the value of the dresses. A
dress in the present fashion would require 15 or 16 yards.
The COURT—That is allowing for a few stocks, I sup-
pose. Witness—No, Sir, without cabbage.—(Laugh.)
This being the case for th?. plaintiff, Mr. Doane ad-
dressed the jury for the defendant, urging that the
dresses were never intended or ordered for the defend-
ant, but for parties lodging in her house, and culled wit-
nesses to prove his case.
The first witness called stated that three ladierr lived
with the defendant of the name of Florient, and the
dresses in question were ordered for those ladies; but they
had since left the house without paying their bill.
Mr. THOMAS—Did those ladies ever bring gentlemen
home with them ? Witness, who was a French woman
as were nearly all the witnesses, answered, " that she
never looked, she merely opened the door, that was her
duty.—(A laugh.)

Mr. Thomas—'To turn the key and keep the counsel,
I suppose.—(Laughter.)
The whole of the witnesses for the defence having
been examined. Mr. Thomas addressed the Jury.
He said that this case was one which had caused more
amusement than, perhaps, cases for goods sold and deli-
vered usually displayed. But he thought that the de-
fendant.had failed in supporting her plea on the record,
and he should therefore leave it in the hands of the Jury.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff for the whole amount.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT, Maidstone, July 29.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant TADDY.)
Thomas Pilbeam, aged 32, by trade a gunmaker, was
indicted for cutting the throat of Esther Pilbeam, his
wife, with intent to murder her.
Bartlett Allen Chambers stated that he was a cabinet-
maker, and resided at Faversham. Knew the prisoner,
who resided very near him. On the Ist instant the pri-
soner called upon him respecting some furniture which
he had bought of him some time previous. Witness ac-
companied him to the house, when he saw the prosecu-
trix. The prisoner said, " Now, Esther, here is Mr.
Chambers; you may do what you like." She appeared
to be in a bad temper. The prisoner added, " Why don't
you alter your course, and live comfortably with me ?"
She replied, that he might do what he liked, for she
would not live with him.

Esther Pilbeam, a young female of genteel appearance,
and who gave her evidence with reluctance, stated that
she was the wife of the prisoner ; recollected Mr. Cham-
bers accompanying the prisoner home on the Ist inst.
She had been been very unwell for some time, and had
just laid down on the bed. When Chambers went
away her husband went with him, but returned in about
twenty minutes, and went upstair to her. (The witness
here said she did not wish to answer any more ques-
tions ; but was told by the Judge that she must pro-
ceed, and tell the truth.) She then got off the bed
and went down stairs into the back room, where
she sat down ; her husband followed her, but
she did not recollect exactly what then took
place ; he however appeared to be in a very bad humour.
Whilst she was sitting down her husband' stood near
her. At that time she did not observe any thing in his
hands. She was talking to him about his drinking, and
he said something about her not being angry. He then
put his arm round her neck, and afterwards threw him-
self irpon the floor. Was not aware that she had re-
ceived any injury till she was informed of it by a little
girl who had just entered the room. Her (witness's)
first impression at the time was, that he intended to
strangle her. When her attention was called by the little
girl, she found that her throat had been cut. Was quite
sure that she received the wound at the time her hus-
band put his arm round her neck.
George Crissfield, a butcher, stated that he resided
immediately opposite the house of the prisoner ; on the
day in question he heard a loud scream, and immediately
ran across the read and went into the house, where he
found the prosecutrix in one of the rooms holding a
handkerchief to her throat ; she said, "My husband has
cut niy throat." He examined her throat and found a
wound which extended about four inches, and deeper on
one side than the other. She then fainted, and he put
her upon a chair, and sent for medical assistance. As
soon as a surgeon arrived he (witness) went to look after
the prisoner, and found him lying on the ground in the
hack kitchen, with a clasp knife lying by his side open.
Witness spoke to him, when he replied, "I have cut my
wife's throat, and have been trying to cut my own, and
this is the knife I did it with." (The knife was here pro-
duced—it was a penknife with a short blade.) He then
examined the prisoner's throat, and found two trifling
scratelieS. A constable afterwards came and took the
prisoner into custody.

By the Learned JUDGE—The wounds in the prisoner's
throat appeared to bleed very slightly.
Mr. J. Hollis, assistant to Mr. Giraud, surgeon, of
Faversham, was sent for on the day in question to attend
the prosecutrix ; he found her with a wound in her
throat which extended from one side to the other ; on
the right side it was about a quarter of an inch in depth,
but on the left it was very slight. He dressed the wound
and continued to attend the prosecutrix for about a fort-
night. He afterwards saw the prisoner, when he stated
that he was sorry he had not killed her and himself as
well ; he appeared very much excited.
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury on behalf of the
prisoner, and called several witnesses, who spoke favour-
ably of the prisoner's general conduct.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY, in summing up, told the Jury,
that under the circumstances he thought they would not
be justified in finding the prisoner guilty of an intent to
murder. It was for them to say whether he intended to
maim or do his wife any grievous bodily harm.
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict
of " Guilty of intent to do grievous bodily harm ;" but
accompanied by a strong recommendation to mercy on
account of his previous good character.
The prosecutrix also recommended him to mercy.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY told the prisoner that he had
been found guilty of a very serious offence, and the
punishment must be commensurate. The sentence was,
that he be transported for the term of 15 years.

OXFORD ClRCUlT—Shrewsbury, July 27.
(Before Mr. Justice COLTAIAN and a Special Jury.)

EVANS v. PRATT.

In this case Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Corbett
appeared for the plaintif, and Mr. Sergeant Ludlow
(with whom was Mr. F. V. tee), represented the de-
fendant.

The plaintiff and the defendant are both of them gen-
tlemen of fortune, resident near Wolverhampton, and
are both members of the Alibrighton hunt, and fond of
the pleasures of the turf, as well as of the chase. It
appeared that in the early part of the present year some
conversation took place between them with reference to
the comparative merits of two mares, one of which,
named Matilda, the defendant had previously sold to the
plaintiff for 251., and the other, a brown mare, to a Mr.
Riley for 1001. The result of the conversation, of which
the particulars did not transpire, and which would pro-
bably not have been very edifying if they could have
been given in evidence, was an agreement between the
parties to run Matilda and the brown mare four miles
across a country, play or pay, each carrying 13 stone,
and Mr. Thomas Holyoake, the master of the Allbrightcn
hounds, whose decision was to be final, was named as
umpire. If the brown mare won, the plaintiff was to
pay 251., the price of Matilda, while it was agreed that
the defendant should pay 1001., the price of the brown
mare, if Matilda should be declared the winner, and
the match was to come off on the Ist of March.
Accordingly, on that day, Mr. Holyoake having ac-
cepted the office of umpire, and measured out the ground,
the defendant appeared at the starting-post with
the brown mare, while Mr. Powell, a celebrated rider of
steeple chases, acted as jockey to Matilda. It was ex-
pressly directed by Air. llolyoalce, in accordance with
the universal laws of steeple•chasing,, that neither of the
mares should go through a gate,- and that if either did so,
she would forfeit the race. At the winning-post the
defendant's mare came in first, but Powell, who rode
Matilda, immediately made a • complaint to the umpire
that the defendant had ridden through a gate and

claimed the race, which Mr. Holyoake, after examining
the ground near the gate in the presence of the two
jockeys, decided had been won by Matilda. The defendant,
however, refused to abide by this decision, and the pre-
sent action was commenced. The defence set up was
threefold—first, a denial of the wager, which was proved by
the production of the agreement between the parties ;
secondly, that the race was won by the brown mare,
which the defendant's counsel contended was the faet, as
Mr. Holyoake had no right to import into the agreement
any stipulations about not riding through gates ; and
thirdly, that the race was illegal, being a steeple-chase,
and run over hedges and ditches, fields, closes, and
brooks, and not a regular horse-race run upon the turf,
and therefore not within the protection of the statutes
which regulate horse racing. On this third question
Mr. Justice Coltman expressed his opinion that the
race was legal, but reserved leave for the defendant to
move to have the verdict on that issue set aside, and en-
tered for him, if the Court should think otherwise.
The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict for the
plaintiff, with 1001. damages, and his Lordship certified
for a Special Jury.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—Durham, July 27.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
CRAWFORD V. WILSON AND OTHERS.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages for an injury received by him while going as a
passenger from Stockton to Sunderland in a railway
carriage.
Mr. Knowles, assisted by Mr. Udall, conducted the
case of the plaintiff, and Mr. Dundas, with whom was
Mr. Watson, that of the defendants.
It appeared from the statement of the Learned Coun-
sel for the plaintiff that the defendants are directors and
shareholders of the Durham acid Sunderland Railway,
which commences at a short distance from Durham, and
terminates at a place called Haswell-bridge, where it is
connected with other railways, one of which communi-
cates with Stockton. The Durham and Sunderland Rail-
way Company were incorporated by act of Parliament, but
they were not now sued in their corporate capacity, the
place where the accident occurred not being a pm t of
their line nor a branch or siding of it, but an extension
of the line, belonging, in fact, to the Haswell Coliiery
Company, over which the defendants carried passengers
for hire. In this respect they were, therefore, merely
carriers at common law, liable to all the incidents of
such an undertaking, one of which was that they under-
took to carry the party who paid for his transit safely
and without injury during the whole of the journey ;
but if from their neglect or, default any injury did
occur to such passenger they were bound to make
such compensation in damages as a Jury in their
judgment, under all the circumstances, thought right.
It was under these circumstances, and not in
their corporate capacity, that they were sued.
They seemed determined, however, to raise the question
whether they could be so sued or not, for they had put
every species of plea upon the record which was calcu-
lated not only to raise that question, but to throw every
obstacle possible in the way of the plaintiff. The plain-
tiffi s a gentleman of fortune, residing at Silton-liall.
He is the son of the late Member of Parliament for
the City of London. He was formerly in the army,
and was greatly distinguished both for his mental
and bodily powers. On the 3d of November last he
took a place by the railway, to be conveyed from
Stockton to Sunderland. The passengers were con-
veyed in an omnibus from Stockton to a place called
the Foundry, Where they got into carriages on the Has-
well Railway, and proceeded to Haswell-bridge, the
terminus of that end of the Durham and Sunderland
Railway. The Haswell Railway is at a much greater
elevation than the other ; so much so, that the car-
riages from Stockton arrive on the top of the bridge,
beneath which the Durham and Sunderland Railway
runs. To effect the junction the carriages are run
down an inclined plane by the force of their own gra-
vity in a north-west direction till they reach a point
where a branch from the Haswell-road runs down an
incline in a south-east direction into the Dur-
ham and Sunderland road. When the inclines run
into each other, it is necessary to turn a switch, so as to
direct the wheels into the one or the other of these lines
as might be desired, the proper position of the switch
being such as would direct the coal-waggon from the
Haswell branch into the Durham and Sunderland
road. The carriage in which the plaintiff came was
run down the first incline, and past, the switch, where
they waited for the train to come up on its way
from Durham to Sunderland to take them onward.
They had been standing there about three quarters
of an hour, when, it being then between six and
seven o'clock, and there being neither light, signal,
nor bell, to give warning, a train of twelve loaded coal
waggons, weighing together upwards of 40 tons, was di ;-
covered rapidly approaching on the same line, the switch
not standing in a proper manner, so as to conduct the
coal waggons down the line they should have gone, but
so as to bring them directly on the carriages. The
alarm was given to the two nearest carriages, and the
passengers had just time to get out, and escaped unhurt;
but before warning could be given to those in the car-
riage in which the plaintiff was, a fearful collision took
place, by which the carriages were forced up the
inclined plane, at the top of .which two of the
waggons got off the rails, and were overturned.
When the plaintiff got out he was so mystified, that
in answer to a question, he insisted that he was going to
Stockton, while, in fact, he was on the road from that
place. The extent of the injury he received did not ap-
pear at the time, hat blood was upon his face. When
things were put to rights he entered the carriage again,
and was conveyed to the Sunderland station, when an
omnibus received the passengers, but when it got on,the
rough road he was obliged to be taken out, not being able
to bear the motion. A Mr. George Moon, a shipowner
of Sunderland, who knew him, conducted him to the
town, and, surgical aid being procured, it was discovered
that his cheek bone was broken and forced into the socket
of the eye, and he had received a violent concussion of the
brain, and was, generally speaking, shaken to pieces. Ha
lay in a precarious and most helpless state till the end of
December, when he was removed home, but soon after
suffered a relapse, and found it necessary to return to
Sunderland for the benefit of surgical and medical advice.
From a strong man lie was reduced to a state of great
weakness, in which there was every probability he must
continue to the end of his days, and from being a person
of very vigorous intellect was reduced to cotnpirteative im-
becility. One remarkable effect was produced which would
alone speak for the severity of his sufferings. At the time
of the injury he had not a grey hair in his head ; within
a month after the whole head of hair was changed per-
fectly white, and still continues so. It might be thought,
said the Learned Counsel, that after such an oc-
currence, the defendants would at least have tendered
their aid towards his recovery, and have so far shown
that they possessed the common feelings of humanity as
to have inquired from time to time after his health and
state ; but no—no such inquiry was ever made, and
when the plaintiff seeks compensation at their hands for
an injury for which, indeed, money can never repay him,
he is put at arm's length, he is set at defiance, and a
doubt is pretended to be thrown upon the fact of his
having ever existed. The Learned Counsel concluded
his address by a powerful and eloquent appeal to the
Jury to mark the case by their verdict in the manner
which it deserved.
The necessary evidence being given to prove the case,
Mr. Dumaas submitted to the Court that the plaintiff
Must be nonsuited, and contended that they were a cor-
poration, and could be sued only in their corporate capa-
city. He read from the act of incorporation the several
clauses constituting the Company, empowering them to
purchase lands, make the railroad, with by-ways, side-
ways, and all things necessary for their purposes.
Mr. KNOWLES replied, that the Act incorporated the
Company to make a railwisy and 'carry passengers, &c.,
between Durham and Sunderland, and not between
either of those places and Stockton, which was an after-
thought, and undertaken by them just as any other per-
son would contract. All the by-ways and side-ways au-
thorised by the Act were to be "for the purposes aforesaid"
—that is, for the traffic between Durham and Sunder-
land. Nor could the incline, where the mischief was
done, be called either a by-way or a side-way, it being, in
fact, an addition, extending beyond the terminus of the
Parliamentary line.
The Learned JUDGE said he would not stop the case,
but, whichever side had the verdict would give leave for
the other side to move the Court above.
Mr. DUNDAS then addressed the Jury in an able speech
for the defendants, and
The Learned JUDGE having summed up the case,
The Jury, after a short retirement, returned with a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1501.
The smallness of the damages appeared to create gene-
ral surprise.

THE RECENT CALAMITY OFF

DOVER AND LOSS OF EIGHT

DOVER, WEDNESDAY.—This morning Charles Rathke,
the mate of the ill-fated Prussian batifc Prosperator, with
the boatswain, Martin Hakendorff, and Eanzeu, the sea-
man, who received an injury of the knee, embarked on
board-the. Adelaide steam-boat, lying in the harbour, for
the purpose of proceeding to the 'Prussian Consul in
London, to obtain his assistance. It will be remem-
bered that Eanzen received a violent blow from the
mainyard of the Russian bark John of Riga. as he was
in the act of leaping on board while the Prosperator was
going down. He was taken to the Almshouses, and this
morning he was so far recovered as to be able to walk.
The survivors have been comfortably provided for,
and experienced the kindest treatment from Mr.
W. Latham, the agent of Lloyd's for this port.
The situation of the poor fellows entitled them
to commiseration, they having lost every article
that they possessed except what they stood in.
The Prosperator, it appears, was built about ten years
since, and was of 230 tons burden, and had on board at
the time of the catastrophe no• less than 1,873 lengths of
iron rails. No particle of her cargo has been washed up,
and from the depth of water in which she lies there is
not the slightest probability that any of it. will be reco-
vered, or that any of the bodies of the eight unfortunate
persons who perished by the collision will be got out of
the vessel. The Russian bark John is now undergoing
repairs ; the damage done to her is of an extensive na-
ture, and the survey has not yet been completed. Iler
figure head, having been split, has been removed, and her
bowsprit and all her foretopsails were carried away or
greatly damaged, in addition to the extensive injury
done to her larboard bow. She is a fine vessel, and has
only been built three years, and to her superior strength
and tonnage (she being 350 tons burden) may be ascribed
her escape from sharing the fate of the Prosperator. It
will require some time to elapse before she is sufficiently
repaired to proceed to Bilboa, whither she is bound.

The Gazette of Upper Germany publishes the
following statistics relative to the city of Berlin :—ln the
year 1816 the number of criminals brought to trial
amounted to 876. From the year 1817 to 1833 the num •
ber of criminal cases increased to 3,439. In 1816 the
inhabitants of Berlin amounted to 170,000. In the year
1838 they had increased to 340,000. At present the po-
pulation of Berlin amounts to 351,541 inhabitants, and
crimes have increased in proportion.
