of Bogle v. Lawson, the publisher of the Tithes news-
paper, occupied the Court for thirteen hours, and did
not close till ten o'clock at night. It arose out of certain

the extensive forgeries committed on the Continent by a

was insinuated the plaintiff was implicated. Verdict for
the plaintiff—damages one farthing,

MISCELLANEOUS.

Sir. O'Connell has addressed a long letter to Mr.
Smythe, M.P. for Canterbury, wherein he recapitulates
the wrongs that Ireland has sustained at the hands of
England, and sums up by saying—" The idle wind that
listeth not where it blows, is not half so idle as the ex-
pectation that Peel can easily govern Ireland without
altering his policy, which it is impossible for him to do,
and giving Ireland that justice which he prevented the
Whigs from approaching to."
A Tory morning paper, after stating that " the
favourable change in the weather has been hailed with
joy by the farmers round London," adds, in the very

lize the effect of the other!

The line of telegraph from London to Dover is to
be re-established, and the preparations for opening it are
in rapid progress. It was a miserable piece of economy
to interrupt it at all. It is the most important line in
the country, and owing to the want of it the newspapers
had generally more early intelligence from the Continent
than the Government.
