ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT, Llt-EnrooL, Arial, 6.
CROWN SIDE.—( Before Mr. Justice Coleridge.)
R. IV. Jackson, It. J. Richardson, William Butter-
worth, and Bronterre O'Brien were indicted for sedition.
The cases were so similar to those which have already
been given at length in The Sun that it is not accessary
to go into the detail.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. KNOWLES prayed that they might stand committed.
The defendants pleaded for the night's liberty, as they
had made no arrangements for the event of an immediate
imprisonment, and it appearing that their present recog- '
nuances were satisfied by their appearing to take their
trial, it was, after some delay, arranged that they should
be discharged on fresh recognizances to-morrow morning,
Mr. Richardson on his own recognizance in 2001. ; Mr.
O'Brien in 2001., Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Clarkson, the
attorney, being his sureties; Mr. Butterworth on his own
recognizance in 100/., Mr. O'Connor being his surety ;
and Mr. Jackson in 20(11., with one surety, all he was
able to procure on the moment, in 50/.

Ttir HAGUE, JUNE '2 —T he Second Chamber has ectr-
menced to-day the discussion of the thirteen project% of
law for making alterations in the fundamental law. The

COSTS OF PETTY SESSIONS.

At the last meeting of the-Greenwich Bench of Magis-
trates, a French gentleman, named Lefargue, was
charged with assaulting a man named Bradley, one of the
park-keepers. It appeared in evidence that the assault
complained of took place under the following circumstan-
ces:—The defendant was walking in the park, and his
attention was attracted by the cries of a lad, and upon
looking round he saw complainant in the act of heating a
boy, as he considered, in a most cruel manner, and being
exasperated at what he saw he interposed and struck the
complainant. The lad was produced in Court, and his
arms were shown to the Magistrates, and they bore marks
of punishment.
_ _

On the part of the park-keeper it was shewn that
this ; lad bad frequently misbehaved himself in the
park, and was always climbing up the trees, and
doing mischief, and it was not the slightest use to cau-
tion him.

The MAGISTRATES, after hearing all the evidence, said
they had no doubt that M. Lefargue bud been actuated
by a kind and manly feeling in protecting the lad ; but the
assault had been proved, and they were bound to convict
him, although, under the circumstances, they should only
inflict a fine of half.a-crown.

M. Lefargue was about to pay the sum mentioned and
retire, when he was informed that, in addition to the tine,
the costs amounted to thirteen shillings, making in all fif-
teen shillings and sixpence. Lefargue having handed over
the sum claimed left the Court, evidently very much sur-
prised at the result of the proceeding.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JuNE 4.
( Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. VIRRIER.
•

The defendant in this case, Sarah Virrier, had been
convicted of having committed perjury before the
Committee of the House of Commons appointed to try
the merits of the last election for the city of Bristol.
Mr. Sergeant STEPHEN had obtained a rule to show
cause why judgment should not be arrested on the
ground of the indictment not being sufficiently explicit,
and why a new trial should not be had because Lord
Denman bad ordered the postea to be amended,
which no Judge had any right to do in criminal cases.
Mr. CILODEIt showed cause against the rule, and
contended that the declarati in was strictly conformable
to precedent, and cited several cases in support of his
argument. With regard to the amendment of the
postea he must refer to Lord Denman's recollec-
tion of the case. The defendant was indicted for per-
jury in having sworn that Mr. Thomas Carlisle had
on a certain occasion, just before the last election for
Bristol, promised her 61. at Christmas, if her husband,
who was a freeman of the city of Bristol, voted in a
particular way at the ensuing election, and also that
on the sam&occasion Mr. F. Berkeley, who was at that
time a candidate for the representation of Bristol, had,
when taking leave of her, slipped a sovereign, wrapped
up in paper, into her hand. On the trial there was a
good deal of conflicting evidence, five gentlemen who
were with Carlisle swore that he spoke to the
defendant in a loud tone of voice, and that he never said
anything about 6/. Mr. Berkeley swore that he never
gave the defendant a sovereign. It appeared that at the
trial the Judge said it was necessary there should be the
oaths of two or more persons to convict an individual of
perjury, which was not the case as regarded the sove-
reign. In summing up, Lord Denman, in order to
make the case more clear to the Jury, had put the case as
regarded Carlisle as the first assignment, and the case
es regarded Berkeley as the second assignment, and this
was not in strict accordance with the terms of the decla-
ration. The Jury found the prisoner guilty on the first
assignment, and acquitted her on the second, the verdict
being in accordance with the summing up, and Lord
Denman, in the presence of the parties, amended the
posiea. It was admitted that no person was deceived,
and the Learned Counsel, in arguing against the rule,
contended that a Judge had the same right to alter a
postea in criminal as in civil matters, and quoted seve-
ral cases in support of his argument., in one of which a
man had been hanged upon a verdict amended by the
Judge.
Mr. ADOLPHUS followed on the same side.
Mr. THESIGER having been heard at some length in
support of the rule,
Lord DENMAN said the Court would take time to
consider its judgment.

By SAMUEL WESTCOTT TILKE,
Medical Herbalist, Author of " Random Reflections on In-

" Mr. Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a
wooden spoon in their mouths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and
industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour-
neyman baker, but every intermission from the labour of the knead-
ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any
man who makes such unceasing efforts as he has done to alley iaie
the sufferings humanity, is entitled to honourable mention."—
Times, Nov. 3.
" In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man,
whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer
dint of perseverance, and showing a gallant front to misfortune,
had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success.
The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accom-
plished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written in a cheerful
and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has
effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout,
rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these
diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has
added reasons explanatory of his system, so tint he who runs may

BRUSSELS, Nov. 14.—The King came this morning.
to the Palace at Brussels, and here he received the de-
putation of the Senate. g. 7. de Schiervel, the Presi-
dent of that Assembly, presented to his Majesty the
address voted by the Senate, in reply to his Majesty's
Speech from the throne on opening the session.
Our rivers are beginning to rise. The Lyes, espe-
cially, has risen rapidly to a great height at Deynze,
and co7ered most of the meadows on its banks. The
Seinne, swollen by the continual rains that we have
had for some days past, had risen to such a height the
day before yesterday, that it was feared it would over-
flow its banks in the environs of Brussels. The inha-
bitants of the valley of Curraghorn were greatly
alarmed, but the river happily began to subside in the
afternoon, and is still falling.

AIX-LA-CIIAPELLE.—Afew days ago an English-
man, lodging in a private house, was robbed of 40,000
francs, partly in gold and partly in notes. The exer-
tions of the police have succeeded in discovering the
guilty party, who is one of his friends, a foreigner,
who has been long settled here. He is already in
prison.

In the way of contradiction, it will be sufficient to mention
that Lord Plunket has not resigned—his Lordship is, at
this moment, presiding in his Court, and that lie has no
intention whatever of resigning. W. c are unwilling to in-
terfere with the ingenious speculations of our Tory Con-

CAPTURE OF ANOTHER SLAVER.

On Thursday last, her Majesty's schooner Skipjack,
Lieut. Wright, brought into this "port the• Portuguese
brigantine Ulysses, slaver, with 529 slaves on board,
which she captured off the Isle of Pines, on Sunday last,
after a chase of twelve hours, from three in the morning
till four in the afternoon. The slaver made to the shore
with an intention of running her high and dry, in which
the partly succeeded, and tore the copper from the bows
in several places. An attempt had also been made to
cause the masts to go by the board, and the main was so
much cut and injured, as to cause the captors to fish it near
the deck. Several marks of the hatchet also appeared on
the foremast, but the time did not serve for this purpose.
The master, Fernandez, a Portuguese, it seems, escaped
with eighteen passengers, chiefly captains of captured
slavers, and six negroes. It seems Fernandez had taken
with him about 8 000 dollars, which was ascertained by
bills of parcels, and other documents left on board.
To the sordid slave-traffickers of Portugal no smell
is so aromatic as that of gold, and hence a cargo of 529
slaves is designated a cargo of spice. But they will
soon find it a losing game. The resolution of Great
Britain to put down this infamous traffic, at all
hazards, is not to be shaken by the threats of Poi-
tuguesc men-stealers ; and though the cost of the
suppression mny make a large item in the Navy. Esti-
mates of this country, it will not be grudged by a
people who have made so many sacrifices in the cause
of humanity. Nor will the expense be wholly lost.
We shall improve the discipline of our marine, and in a
school sacred to the liberty of the human race, rear up
a race of naval heroes, to shed lurtre upon the future
annals of Old England.

The French Journals of Friday have all been re-
cei vcd. They bring very little news of any general in-
terest. The National, which is always snarling about
England, has an article on Scriber CELESTINO SOARE'S
speech in the Portuguese Chamber of Deputies against
the activity of our marine in putting down the slave
trade, which is as ill-natured as it is calumnious. Hav-
ing already put an extinguisher upon the incendiary
blaze emitted by the slave trade orator of Portugal, we
shall not stoop to notice the nonsensical ribaldry of the
National. The Constilutionnel devotes a couple of
columns to the marriage of Queen VICTORIA, and the
curious position in which Prince ALBERT will be placed
as the husband of her MAJESTY. That the position of
the Prince will be the reverse of enviable, is the general
opinion in France.

Of the progress the electoral Reform question is
making some idea may be formed from the fact that 947
petitions have been presented from the inhabitants of
the department ofthe Sarthe alone, praying for an exten-
sion of the suffrage. The following news from Af'riea
includes what little else there is in these Journals :
The Algerine Moniteur of the 25th January has reached
us to-day. It contains in its official part the following do-
cument :

DIVORCE BILLS.

7 •
Mr. L ABO UCHE RE gave notice that on Tuesday,
the 11th, he would move that in future all Divorce Bills
should be referred to a Committee of seven.
Mr. H UME said he sl-,ould on that occasion take the
sense of the House as to the propriety of removing Divorce
Bills altogether from Parliament.

CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.

Sir ROBERT PEEL moved that the Committee ap-
pointed to consider controverted elections do have power
to send for persons, papers, and records.—Ordered.

EDUCATION.

Sir R. INGLIS gave notice that on Tuesday, the 18th,
he would move that it is the duty of this House to provide
further means for the religious instruction of the people,
through the medium of the Established Church.—( Ironi-
cal cries of " Hear, hear," from the Ministerial benches.)
London, England, 1840-02-05

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

The Earl cf ABERDEEN gave notice, that on Tburs
day next, in presenting petitions to the House, he would
put a question to the Noble Marquis opposite, respecting
the intentions of her Majesty's Government, with refer-
ence to the present state of the Church of Scotland.
INLAND WAREHOUSES.

Viscount STRANGFORD said that in consequence
of communications he had received from various
commercial bodies, and also in consequence of a
bill having been introduced into the other House of
Parliament on the subject of inland warehouses pre-
cisely similar in its provisions to the Bill of 155 t year--
he was anxious to know whether the Noble Viscount op-
posite would have any objection to produce any opinions
that might have been given by any of the fiscal boards
in the country as to the probable operation of that Bill
on the revenue. .

MELBOURNE would inquire whether there
were any such documents.
Viscount STRANGFOR D thought it was impossible
to legidate satisfactorily on the subject without having
those pape:s before the House.
SOCIALISM.
.

The Bishop of Exeter presented a petition from the Bri-
tish and Foreign Seamen and Soldier's Friend Society,
stating that one of the causes which contributed to pro-
duce immorality among soldiers and sailors, was the
spread of Socialism, and praying the House to adopt such
measures as in it: judgment might deem meet, to
preyent the extension of those pernicious doctrines.
Also a similar petition from the inhabitants and householders
of Cheltenham in the county cf Gloucester, and from
the householders and inhabitants of Winterslow in
the county •f Wilts, deploring that the Socialist
system bad been introduced into the immediate
neighbourhood of the petitioners, and a Sunday
evening lecture established, at which doctrines most dan-
gerous to religion and morality were propagated, praying
the House to take immediate steps to stop the progress of
Socialism; and secure to the people of this country the re-
ligion, peace, and contentment which as a nation and as
individuals they hare hitherto enjoyed.
Lord TE YN HA NI presented a petition from a lady,
complaining that the system of Socialism had been misre-
presented, and praying the House to make inquiries re-
specting it.

from it, have been caused by the unmanageable nature 1
of the discount business of the Bank. The demand for
discount will always increase during that pressure upon
the money market which necessarily accompanies a
drain upon the bullion ; and if the discount business be
administered by the party who has also the power over
the paper issues, the result will inevitably be that the
demands for discount will be satisfied, not merely by a
transference of funds from other securities in which they
had previously been invested, but by a re-issue of the
notes received in exchange for bullion.
An examination of the accounts establishes beyond
the possibility of question this important fact—namely,
that the inability of the Bank to effect a proper re-
duction of its circulation during a heavy drain of bul-
lisn, arises from the irresistible demands which are made
upon it through its general banking obligations, and
especially those of its discount business. •

The Bank of England it appears, therefore,
cannot successfully fulfil the functions of a bank
of discount, and the functions of a regulator of the
currency. The last is conferred on it by law. It
is the consequence of the restrictions imposed by
its Charter on other people, and of the legal-
tenthr privilege. The hinter is the proper em-
ployment of its capital, and that from which
its chief profits are derived. Either the
Bank must give up discounting, or it must get
rid of the duty of regulating the currency. Which
is the more profitable, the Bank Proprietors and
Directors must decide ; but to us it scams that the
regulation of the currency, as now established by
law, is
,an onerous duty, while the discount of ac-
ceptances is, for a great monied corporation, a most
profitable employment for its capital. If this be
correct, the stupid avarice of the Bank Direc-
tors, like vaulting ambition, has overleaped its steed,
and fallen sprawling in the mud, for the new Joint-
Stock Banks to laugh at.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took original causes to-day, of
which there were twelve in his Lordship's list, but in con-
sequence of the principal Queen's Counsel being at Cam.
bridge, the Court was enabled to make but little progress.
In several of the cases the parties took such decrees as they
could abide by upon the production of an affidavit of ser.
vice, and the other cases were struck out of the paper.
His Lordship rose before half-past eleven o'clock.

The Vice-Chancellor did not sit to-day, in consequence
of having to go to Cambridge to attend the election of
High Steward.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, Nov. I.—The Tuscan steamer II Padre
del Pellegriai arrived here on the 30th ult. from Cy-
prus and Rhodes, to which places she conveyed re-
inforcements for the Ottoman army from Constanti-
nople. On the 31st the Phaoten French steamer of
war arrived from Athens, and, after coaling, proceeded
on her voyage to Toulon this day. I understand she
is the bearer of despatches from Admiral Hugon, who
was still in the Bay of Salamis on the '27th ult. A ship of
the line, apparently French, passed Malta, beating to
the southward, on the 20th ult. The Tunisian
corvette Thalia having repaired her damages after bear-
ing up, took her departure again for Tunis on the '2Bth
ult. The Prometheus steam-packet is hourly expected
from Gibraltar with the London mails of the 17th of
October. Those she will bring for the lonian Islands
and Greece will be conveyed in charge of Lieutenant
Green, R.N., by the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steam packet City of Dublin. The Cyclops
steam frigate is taking in 5,000 stand of arms, and as
many warlike stores and provisions as she can carry,
and will leave for Beyrout to-night. The Hydra war-
steamer, equally heavy laden, will leave as soon as the
mail from England arrives by the Prometheus.
The naval and victualling departments have taken
up the Maltese barques Castor, Fortuna, and Patriot,
and the Austrian brig Principe Porcia, to convey coals,
provisions, and stores to Cyprus, Beyrout, and Marino-
rice. It is generally supposed that the British fleet
will winter in the Bay of Marmorice, under Admiral
Sir John A. Ommanney, shortly expected from England
in the Britannia, 1.20, as well as the Howe, 120, Cal-
cutta, SI, and Sidatnander and Hecate war steamers.
The Maltese brig Maitland, from Leghorn, bound to
Alexandria, with ship timber and other merchandise,
and the Active, Captain Hutchison, from Liverpool,
bound to the same port, with a general cargo of coals
and sundry goods, have arrived here from before Alex-
andria, having been ordered off by the senior naval
officer, Captain Fisher, of her Majesty's ship Asia, as
far back as the 22d ult., upwards of three weeks be-
fore the period fixed by the manifesto of the Sublime
Porte for the cemmencement of the blockade, to the
serious detriment of all concerned. The Active had a
cotton cargo awaiting her, which, under the scarcity of
British shipping at Alexandria, may in all probability
have not been got away before the blockade commenced.
His Highness the ex-Emir Beschir, who has ruled
over the mountain of Lebanon for the past half cen-
tury, and ;s now upwards of eighty years of age, has
been landed from the Cyclops to perform quarantine in
Fort Manoel. He is accompanied by his young and
lovely consort, the Princess Hassan Sahan, his son's
daughter, the Princess Koulahar, and nine others of his
family (some of the members of which, we understand.
still remain in the power of Ibrahim Pacha), with his
Prime Minister, Private Secretary, Physician, Inter-
preter, and a numerous retinue of 114 individuals, ten
of whom are females.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED SEPT. 5.

" It is, I regret to say, too true that the force under
Major Clibhorne proceeding to the relief of Captain
Browne at Kahun has had to retreat with considerable
loss on Poolajec.
" The poor lc!lows have had a dreadful trip of it al-
together ; in getting over one bill 3,000 feet high they
were eighteen hours at work ; in another march, eight
men had apoplexy ; thermometer 115 at the officers'
tents daily. All anxiously look for Major Clibborne's
next communication."—Bombay Courier.

WAR WITH NEPAUL.

A report has reached the station—and one appa-
rently well founded—that Government have offered
certain terms to the Nepaulese Court, upon the rejec-
tion or acceptance of which depends the question of
peace or war. As these gentlemen are, however, just
now in rather a pugnacious humour, their voice will
probably be for war.—Agra Ukhbar.
SEPTEMBER 10.
We hear from a source upon which the utmost re-

lance may be placed, that the Nepaulese have acceded
,o the terms of our Government, but that Government

has determined upon forming an army of demonstration
along their frontier. It is to consist of 12 regiments
of Native Infantry and two companies of artillery, and
will assemble at Moozuffupoor, Tirhoot, towards the
end of November.

Troops are everywhere throughout Western and
North Western India on the march for Beloochistan
and Upper Scinde. 500 Poonah horse have been or-
dered to hold themselves in readiness. A division of
Grolundauze, two troops of Horse Artillery, two squa:.
drons of the 4th Dragoons, and the 3d Native Cavalry,
have been ordered to take the field. The cavalry
brigade is to be commanded by Colonel Fendal, while
Colonel Valiant takes command of a brigade of
infantry. It is said also that the 2d or Queen's Royals
and the Ist Cavalry have been ordered from Doesa.
On Monday afternoon the Hugh Lindsay steamer
left for Curachee with 158 men of the 40th, and the
Cleopatra will sail in a few days with the Bth re-
giment of Native Infantry. Her Majesty's 41st have
been ordered from Belgaum, and the 31st Native In-
fantry has received orders to hold itself in readiness.
—Bombay Times.
Movements on the Northern frontiers are not less
active than around Bombay. A letter dated Cabul,
August 16th, informs us that the 43d Native Infantry
was on its march for Quettah, where the force previ-
ously existing consisted of 800 bayonets, two Horse
Artillery guns, and 100 of Christie's Horse. The
48th Native Infantry had been ordered for Cabul.—
