IMPORT DUTIES.

The TION. MEMBER also gave notice, that on Tuesday
week he should propose a resolution to the effect
that the principles laid down in the report of the
Committee of the House—which sat last Parlia-
ment to consider if the import duties were essential to
the preservation of the trade and commerce of the coun-
try, and to the beneficial employment of its inhabitants—
ought to be adopted by any Government which sought
to enjoy the confidence of the country.—(Cheers.)
WAYS AND MEANS.

Mr. WILLIAMS wished, as the Chancellor of the
Exchequer was not in his place, to ask the Hon. Baronet
the Secretary to the Treasury, if he could inform the
House on what night the Chancellor of the Exchequer
proposed going into Committee on the Ways and Means?
Sir G. CLERIC said the Ways and Means could not
be discussed until the Supplies had been voted, and he
apprehended it would be impossible to bring the ques-
tion before the House before FridaY, or perhaps Monday.

" Who runs may read."

PORMIGN.

The Nationul of Saturday was seized for an article on
the present disturbed state of France. The Presse very
properly condemns this proceeding on the part of the.
French Government. The Ministers have their own
Journals all ready to correct the misrepresentations of
the Opposition ; and, by seizing such papers as the
National, they only tacitly. acknowledge the inability of
the Government to controvert their statements. Be-
sides, by seizing a Paper for the falsehoods contained in
one article, they indirectly bear evidence to the truth of
the contents of every_ Journal not seized. This is what
constitutes the dangerous influence of the French Oppo-
sition press.
The French Government has authorized the raising of
one-third of the loan of four hundred and fifty millions
of francs (18,000,000`d.), granted by a Bill of the Cham
bers in the last SeSsion. The decree of the Finance
Minister, regulating the terms for raising the present
instalment of one hundred and fifty millions of the loan
(6,000,0001.), will be found at length in another
part of The Sun. There can be no doubt that the
French Government, in selecting such a time for raising
the loan, seeks to convince Europe that its credit is not
lessened by the emeutes and the attacks upon the dynasty
of July. A secondary object is doubtless to throw some
capital into the market now drained by -the rising of the
fortifications of Paris.

The disorders in Paris continued on Saturday night,
and it was expected that they would be renewed on Sun-
day and Monday. On Sunday the number of persons
arrested was 120. At seven o'clock the streets in St.
Martin and St. Denis were filled with rioters, and all the
shops were closed. Considerable resistance was offered
to the National Guards and the police, but by eleven
o'clock order was restored.

The Spanish Government recently made an offer to
that of Portugal of 6,000 Spanish troops to quell the
Mizuelite insurrection in the Algarves. This offer has
been declined, greatly to the annoyance of the Regent,
who regards the refusal as dictated by the partisans of
Queen Christina in the Portuguese Cabinet.
It was rumoured in Madrid on the 12th, that the Go-
vernment had serious thoughts of prohibiting the impor-
tation of any persons of colour into Cuba. There are
already 800,000 blacks in that island, and the arrival of
more might excite them to imitate the example of Hayti,
by turning the tables upon the whites.
The Infante Don Juan, second son of Don Carlos, has
had a tumble from his horse at Salzburg, by which his
arm was broken. The accident would not affect his
life. When recovered, he is to leave Switzerland with
his brother.

Messrs. Rennie, Stephenson, Cundy, Gibbs, Prods, and
Cubitt ; and a Parliamentary contest, without a parallel,
impoverished the shareholders of the rival lines. The
cost of the contest was :

The Committee of the House of Commons decided in
favour of Sir John Rennie's, or rather, Mr. Ras-
trick's line (as the latter gentlemen planned and mag-
nificently executed the work), and the Act of Incorpora-
tion was passed July 15, 1837, and the Companies were
united by that Act, and the Directors and the shares
allotted in the following proportions, viz.:—
Directors. Shares.

South Eastern 5 ........... 6,600

Each Company to defray its own expenses to the 19th
day of June. 1837 ; and in order to equalise the capital,
the Shares in the new Company were issued as having
paid 51. per Share.

The four first•mentioned Companies are to declare
their option or intention to take Shares within six weeks
after passing of the Acts, and failing to do so the Shares
are forfeited, and the party relieved from all liability
under the Act in respect of his subscription.
It appears the South Eastern Company had the
power of purchasing the entire line from Croydon to
.11Ierstham within a given period.

The whole length of the line is 42 miles 33 chains, and
the distance from London to the terminus of the. Green-
wich Railway is 51 miles 55 chains ; the length of the
Shoreham branch is 5f miles ; so that the whole length
of the line is 47 miles 73 chains. The inclinations and

tion, are:—

HAWKINS U. PAXTON.

The COURT gave judgment in this case, in which a rule
had been obtained to enter a verdict for the plaintiff fur
the sum of 931. It was an action upon a bill of exchange,
and the defendant pleaded satisfaction, and gave in evi..
di:oce a letter and conversation of the plaintiff, but the
Cl,:urt was of opinion that they did not prole the plea.
The plaintiff's demand was for money paid to the defend-
ant subsequently to the date of the letter which specified
payment in full of all demands ; but these must ha taken
to be demands existing at the time. The rule for entering
a verdict for the plaintiff must therefore be made absolute.

lo this case, in which Mr. Jervis yesterday obtained a
ruic for a habeas corpus, to bring up the bodies of Patrick
Shaw Stewart Wy.llace, and Michael Shaw Stewart
Wallace, in order to have the cause of their commitment
inquired into,

Mr. CLARKSON this morning, on the part of the prose-
cutor s, said that the case was one of the utmost importance,
ar,d that as yet his clients had not been able to obtain
office-copies of the affidavits, and therefore that he should
wit be able to proceed to-morrow. He, therefore, wished
for further time.

Mr. Justice WlLLiams said the Learned Counsel had
better speak to Mr. Jervis on the subject; his application
seemed a reasonable one, and if the Court heard nothing
further on the subject the case had better stand for Friday,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 13.
Do' LE V. WILCOX.

This was an action for assault and false imprisonment,
brought by a captain upon half-pay against one of the mes-
sengers of the Army Pay-oflice, who seized the plaintiff,
and gave him into the custody of a policeman, upon a
charge of violently assaulting his own wife in the hall of
the l'a)-office. The case was tried here in the sittings
after last term, and the jury found for the plaintiff, in da-
mages one farthing on the first plea, of " Not guilty," and
for the defendant on the second plea, of justification.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL!, now obtained a rule to show
cause why judgment should not be entered foi the plaintiff,
notwithstanding the verdict of justification, which, be con-
tended, was against evidence.

sentative.

The following paragraph occupies a conspicuous
place in the leading columns of a Morning Con-
temporary :

We understand that if the British Government thinks
proper to recommend to the Porte the recognition of the
French conquests in Algiers, such an act will be considered
by the present Cabinet of France as a decided step to-
wards a reconciliation.

We are told that an immediate resolution to disarm on
the part of France, and thus re-establish the tranquil posi-
tion of Europe, will follow the proposed recommendation.

What the British Government may think proper
to do with respect to the recognition by the Porte
of a French dominion in Africa, we cannot pretend
to determine, but there appears to us no good rea-
son
why England should decline such an offer, see-
ing that the Porte has never protested against the
conquest of the provinces of Algiers, Oran, and

CILARING CROSS HOSPITAL.

(ABSTRACT FROM TIIE LAST REPORT.)
The Committee have the satisfaction of stating to the
Governors and supporters of this hospital, that during
the list ye.ir as many as 6,943 poor afflicted person;
were admitted on the books for relief; of these, 1,1.51
were in-patients, and 5,78.5 were out-patients, (many of
whom were visited at their own homes.) These, with the
cases recorded in former Reports, make a total of
74,248 sick and needy individuals, who have partici-
pated in the benefits of the Institution, from its com-
mencement, to the 31st December, 1840. (The hos-
pital was founded in 1818, and erected 1831.)
In their last statement, the Committee furnished a
&tail of the cases of accident and sudden injuries, which
had been brought to the hospital in the preceding year.
These cases have, during the last year, amounted to up-
wards of twelve hundred ; of which 291 were so dan-
gerous as to require to be immediately admitted as m-
patients. The following is a brief enumeration of
patients admitted for relief during the last seven years :
In 1834, the total number of cases was 3,681, cost
1,2091. 10s. 9d. ; 1835, 4,472, 1,481/. 1,55. 4id. ; 18:36,

2,506/.45. Oid. ; 1840, 6,943, 2,528/. 18s. 2id.
The total number of cases of accident for the last
seven years were as follows :—ln 1834, 424 cases ;
1835, 865 ; 1836, 975 ; 1837, 1,093 ; 1838, 1,414 ;
1839, 1,236 ; 1840, 1,238 ; total, 7 245. The total
number of out-patients since its ,commencement, was
titi,l37, and in-patients 6,091.

THE CHAMBER or DEPUTIES. The gi cat
orators: never speak according to their turn on the
President's list. M. Berryer has never spoken on the (lay
for which his name has been inscribed. If you would
make 84219 of a Minister or Deputy whom you wish to hear
ascending the tribune to-day, inquire whether the Minis-
ter's wife, or the lady whose dinners, balls, or soirees the
said Deputy most frequently attends, has received tickets.
It is never the order of the day that brings on those lively
and animated incidents which the public so eagerly seek ;
it is such and such a Member. Ascertain from him whe-
ther he will speak before you apply for tickets.—Paris

COURT OF EXCHEQUER,Jix. 13.

At the sitting of the Court this morning the following
new rule of Court was promulgated, being rendered ne-
cessary, Baron PARKE said, from the extreme difficulty
that was found in cases where judgment was moved against
the casual ejector :—" Hilary Term, 4th Victoria—lt is
ordered that a party entitled to appear to a declaration in
ejectment, may appear and plead thereto at any time
alter service of such declaration, and before the end of
the fourth day after the term it, which the tenant is re-
quired by the notice to appear, and may proceed to compel
toe plaintiff to reply thereto, or may sign judgment of
i,on.process, notwithstanding such plaintiff may nut have
obtained a rule for a judgment on such service of declara-
tion, and that a plaintiff who may have omitted to obtain a
rule for judgment within the time prescribed by the pre-
sent rules and practice, shall be entitled on production of
such plea, to an order of a Judge for leave to draw up a
rule for judgment, as of the time at which such rule for
judgment would have been obtained."
Signed by all the Judges,
HOLFORD V. DUNNETT.

Mr. DuNnas showed cause against a rule for entering a
verdict for the defendant upon the second issue in this case.
Tne action was brought by the plaintiff for a breach of
contract, the defendant having been tenant to the plaintiff,
and having covenanted to keep and leave the psernises in
tenant-like repair. At the trial it was proved, that on the
defendant giving up possession of the premises, which
were situated near Manchester, the walls were damaged,
many fruit-trees cut down, the soil removed, and its place
tilled with rubbish, &e. The Jury found for the plaintiff,
with 10/. damages. The Learned Gentleman contended
'hat the verdict ought to stand, for it was clear that the
plaintiff was entitled to all the damages given him by the
Jury, although, perhaps, he might have made an error in
pleading.
Mr. COWLING followed upon the same side.

Without calling upon Mr. Cresiwcll to sustain the rule,
the Court said it was clear that the plaintiff could not re-
cover upon both points. Ile must therefore elect—either
reduce the damages, or have a new trial.
Mr. DUNftAS elected to have a new trial. Rule absolute.

TRADESMEN'S ACCOUNTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV.
SlR—Through the medium of your widely circulaf rig
paper, you might throw oat a few valuable hints to the
nobility, gentry, and clergy, of the benefits that would
result from their early settlement.of the tradesmen's
yer.rly accounts, which ere often delayed from want o;
thought or other causes, sometimes from servants never
presenting the accounts. If one half the accounts were
settled in January every year, it would give a spur to
trade, and the benefit be felt by all classes of society.

SPAIN.

The Globe brings further accounts of the disorderly
proceedings in Tarifa. It is re stated, that the con-
tending parties arc not divided by political opinions.
M. Vides is so decidedly a frog, esista, that, in 1836,
he put down the Moderates who were then in power.
He continues ill, is confined, and shamefully treated
and insulted by the Militiamen in whose custody he is ;
nor ha he any great chance of recovering his liberty,
though supported by a large majority of the inhabitants,
because the majority, in Tarifa as almost everywhere,
is timid, and the minority daring and abetted by the
authorities. The article now before us, was written on
the 10th day of the disturbances; and the elections
were still suspended ; and, the night before, the cud-
gelers had again been at work. . .

Iu Cadiz, the Military Commandant, at a loss bow to
maintain the garrison, has applied to the capitalists of
the place, but in vain : he has only been able to obtain
3,000 and odd dollars, Government being generally con•
sidered as representing, not the interests of all, but
those of a faction, to winch the powerful and influential
class that might have come to its assistance, does not
belong.
But the garrison of Cadiz is not the only one that is
in danger of starving with hunger and cold : the rest of
the army is not better off, according to the Madrid cor-
respondent of the Globo ; and the Minister of Finance,
whom he had stated to be at a nonplus in his preceding
letter, is not likely to find the means of feeding and
clothing the thousands and tens of thousands whom he
could wish to dismiss, but whom some of his colleagues
(General Espurtero in particular) insist upon retaining
in the service of a country which cannot afford to pay
them.—Gibraltar Chronicle of Dec. 30.

MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.

The accounts from Manchester, Leeds, Halifax, and
Bradford, generally state that more business has been
dune lately, but that prices are still low, and do not afford
sufficient remuneration for outlay and labour. At Lei-
cester business is moderate, and at Bolton not the slight.-
est improvement has taken place. Every week adds to the
number of uninhabited houses.

AGEXCI7LTuI .L.
The accounts from the North of Scotland are favour-.
able. In Ross-shire and in Morayshire a great deal of
grain has been gathered in excellent condition. The
potatoe and turnip crops are excellent.
The arrivals of hops come forward very freely. Fair
and good qualities come from Sussex, the Weald of Kent
and the middle of Kent ; from East Kent they are small
in quantity, and of a secondary kind, as yet. The
choicer specimens of any, however, have not appeared
at all.

Accounts from the midland counties state, that the
corn crops have been nearly all secured in exceLent
condition.

LAW AND POLICE.

At Worship-street, on Saturday, an elderly man, of
the name of Richards, assistant-surgeon and apothecary
Bunhill-row, was held to bail in 2001., and two sure-

ties in 1001. each, for i►nproper conduct towards several
girls belonging to St. Luke's Charity School. He ut-
terly- denied the charge.

At the Thames PUiice-office, the mate of the Topaz
steamer was adjudged to pay 4/. 10s., the amount of
damage done to the Satellite, by wilfully (as alleged)
running his boat against the other. The solicitor to the
Diamond Company claimed the usual time, three days,
to consider whether he should appeal, which was granted.

The Ordinary Benefits of Life Assurance, without any spe-
cial reference to the peculiar advantages afforded by this Insti-
tution are, of themselves, amply sufficient to induce those who
have relatives or families dependent on them, and who are duly
impressed with the uncertainty of life, to have recourse to it, no
less as a matter of duty than of interest. In illustration of
this a few actual cases are here quoted from the Society's
Books, which will be found to place in a very strong view
the benefits of Life Assurance, particularly as they may be
secured througk the medium of a connection with this ;So-
ciety, viz.:—
