The Noble Lard then read the dispatch referred to. It
was considered by the Council, and the Quern was ad-
vised to ask additional terms, recommending, at the
same time, the exile of the leaders of the insurrection.
Sir H. Seymour, whose zeal and ability deserved the
highest praise, insisted that the terms offered by this
country should be withdrawn, and all negotiation should
cease, if these conditions were insisted upon ; and the
Cabinet coincided in this opinion, considering the original
proposition fair, as placing the country upon a constitu-
tional basis. Before that reply went back, the Queen
had accepted the conditions of the British Government.

would be bound by the terms as originally proposed,
they would take steps in order to compel the Junta to
submit to them. Now, were the Government justified in
so doing. (Hear, hear.) He thought the papers,
which he would not fatigue the House by quoting at any
length, would prove that the interest of this country in
the affairs of Portugal, was such that it was impossible
that the condition of this ancient ally, with whom they
had such intimate commercial relations, and the most
brotherly connexions in arms, was such as to induce
them to take any step by which the freedom of Portu-
gal was secured. But there was another question which
pressed itself upon their consideration—what was the
interest of England in the matter ?—(Cheers)—and
what would follow from her adopting that course,
and what, from refusing so to do. Let him re-
mind the House of the ancient relations subsisting
between the countries, and the periods of difficulty
in which Portugal was their ally. Since the commence-
ment of the las'. century there had not been less than
four wars, in which Spain had joined with France, yet
whilst they were at war with this country, Portugal re-
mained firm in her alliance with England. At
the end of the seven years' war, Spain
joined in an alliance against England, but
Portugal still remained firm. At the end of
the American war Spain was similarly engaged with
France, and still Portugal was found faithful in their
ranks. And during the conflict with respect to the
Bourbons and the revolutionary war in France Por-
tugal was equally true.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
What would the Spaniards and Portuguese together
have done ? They would have insisted on the banish-
ment of the Junta, and then indeed the liberties of Por-
tugal would have been prostrated. If the Spanish army
had been allowed to interfere only, then the state of
anarchy predicted by Hon. Gentlemen would indeed
come to pass. Mr. Bulwer said that they could not in-
terfere in Portugal unless under circumstances, but if
those circumstances arose, then, indeed, England
would be prepared to interfere. The circumstances
had arisen, and her Majesty's Government did iuterfere.
If they had longer delayed, the position and ultimate de-
termination of the Spanish Government was to interfere.
What, then, became of the Hon. Member for Wycombe
and the Hon. and peaceful Member for Montrose, who
introduced this discussion?—(dear, hear.) Now let
the House consider for a moment what was the situa-
tion in which we were threatened with war? Donna
Maria was reigning in Portugal,and we felt it possible that
Don Miguel might have established a footing in Portugal.
If the Government had not taken part against Spain,
they must have taken part with Don Miguel, and against
the ancient house of Braganza, with which this country
had been on terms of intimacy for centuries, and whom
we are called upon to sustain in splendour and security.
What, then, did the Junta of Oporto propose? Das
Antas was stated to have lost his authority over his fol-
lowers, and every person residing at Lisbon who did not
belong to that party dreaded, if they should succeed, that
a state of anarchy would follow, and that bloodshed and
murder would be perpetrated in the street. Immense
difficulty would have followed if the Government had
undertaken to defend the Portuguese against the armed
intervention of Spain. Had Spain succeeded in her
armed intervention, she would have had the good wishes,
if not at least the active support of France, for the Minis-
ter of France had declared long ago that he thought the
case was one in which the terms of the quadruple alliance
was applicable. What then would be the consequence if
Spain, backed by France, should succeed in establishing
a supremacy in Portugal ? Wa3 the House prepared
for such a state of things as that ? Was it prepared to
see that ancient alliance, which so long existed between
this country and Portugal, destroyed by Spanish supre-
macy in that country ? This was a point, which through-
out the discussion, he had not failed to adopt. After
•hat long connexion with Portugal, he should be sorry
that this Government which was called upon by the
Government of Portugal to interfere, having the means
and the power to dictate the terms of the interference,
should shrink from so doing, and giving that assistance.,
and thereby become disconnected fix ever with the Go-
vernment of Portugal. It had often been said that
the safety of this country was founded upon
a system of alliances, and except this country
maintained its alliances with Portugal, her ancient ally,
.here was no security for the peace of Europe, and this
country would be o'.liged to accept dishonourable terms,
vr to keep a large army and a considerable fleet for the
eurpose of preserving the independence. He was speak-
•nis language in contermity with that of a very great
man. In the year 1786, there was a democratic party
n the Netherlands, which was supported by France;
:he authority of the Prince of Orange was altogether
subordinate, and all the power of the Government was
.laced in the hands of the democratic party. England
interfered on that occasion. The King of Prussia took
occasion of an insult offered to the Princess of Orange,
when passing in her carriage ; he accordingly displaced
that Government, and put the Government of the Stet-
holder in its place ; and England stated that if France
attempted to disturb that settlement made by Prussia,
they would interfere. Both Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox
concurred in that opinion. The present was pre
cisely a similar case to that of Prussia and the
Netherlands. The terms which had been offered by this
country to the Junta were such as he fully thought they
would have acceded to. Das Antas himself stated that
the terms were excellent and unexceptionable. The
question is, what inducement could the Junta have had
in refusing those terms? They happened at the same
time to have received advice.s of some successes which
had taken place. The third point was, that the leaders
of the Junta had not offered to disobey their orders, and
that they feared not only danger to their authority
out to their persons.—(llear, hear.) Such were the
reasons why these terms were not accepted in the
rirst instance. Sir Hamilton Seymour, seeing the state
.if affairs, seeing the urgency of the occasion, and in-
formed by the dispatch of April that England intended
to interfere, desired Sir William Parker to send troops
.o Oporto. Notice had been given, and letters were
written, stating to the Junta that the hostile proceedings
would no longer be carried on by this country. The
Count Das Antas had embarked his troops at this
period. Sir Thomas Maitland had received those
orders sent to Mr. Salter, that if his ships pro-
..ceded they would be captured by her Majesty's
vessels. Another letter had been written which gave
rise to the opinion that a due notice had not been given
to the Junta. There only remained one last letter
,vhich they had not received. He believed that the
Junta, Count Das Antes, and those who were with
him. must have been fully aware of what was to follow
if they persisted. Sir Thomas Maitland, seeing what
had been advanced, thought it right to carry
his intentions into execution. He informed tile
nfficers that he would not allow them to'proceed south, or
enter the port. They then surrendered, the Count Das
Antes stating that they surrendered themselves to the
British troops, and only desired not to be delivered
op to the Portuguese Government. This was
agreed to, and with the honour that has always marked
British troops, that agreement was strictly adhered to,
• and they were placed in confinement under British su-
perintendance, and treated in every respect as prisoners
of war. The consequence of this he hoped would be,
that both the Junta and the Government of Portugal
would accept the terms originally proposed by her
Majesty's Government, namely, that all these offences
should be passed over, and that the Constitution
should be re-established.—(Hear.) Therefore, so far
from establishing despotism, what they (the Govern-
ment) had done was to do away with that despotism
that existed at Lisbon. They interfered for the peace of
Europe.—(Hear, hear.) In the last place, let the House
consider what would have been the danger it' they
had taken the course which was now recommended to
them. If they had insisted that Spain should not inter-
mere, they would make a casus Belli. Such a de-
.ermination of Government at that juncture
might have been disastrous to the peace of Europe.
It was impossible with regard to this question of poli-
tical constitution—they were not in a state very different
from that in which Europe was placed during the wars
that succeeded the Reformation. The French Pro-
testants then sympathised with the Protestants of Eng
land, while the Catholics of Spain sympathised with the
Catholics of England—Queen Elizabeth endeavouring
to promote a revolution against the Catholics, while
Philip of Spain endeavoured to excite a revolution
in this country. He thought it must be evident to any,
one who gave any attention to the events of Govern-
ments, that Governments could not be indifferent to the
form of the constitution established in neighbouring na-
tions. Thus they had seen that numerous cases of inter-
ference had taken place during the last twenty years.
Interference had taken place within that time between
Turkey and Greece, and in 1831 interference also
was considered to be necessary with respect to
Belgium. The Belgians had revolted against the
treaty of Vienna, and withdrew their allegiance from
the Prince of Orange, though they had bound them
selves to that allegiance by oath. What happened?
When the Prince of Orange was marching troops into
Belgium, Sir Robert Adair was sent to stop him, and
told him that he must not proceed any further. Was
that not an interference to establish a free constitution in
Belgium, apart from Holland?—(Hear.) Subsequently
With regard to Portugal itself there was an intervention
,q 1 the part of this country. There was an interference
in the case of Don Miguel and Donna Maria was placed
on the throne by the assistance of France, Spain, and
of England. He would not go through the different
cases in which this country interfered in the affairs of

Tasion ; but they had no right to interfere with the
wishes of the people. The treaties entered into with
Portugal did not guarantee any particular dynasty.
They did not pledge this country to mix itself up with
the internal disputes of Portugal. Mr. Canning had
maintained this doctrine, and so did Mr. Peel in 1829 ;
and he hoped that the Right Honourable Baronet
would be prepared in 1847 to support that
view. The Noble Lord (Palmerston) believed that the
quadruple alliance was at an end, and it was not even pre-
tended that this convention was made in conformity
with that treaty. He did not know then what to call
this new arrangement, and he hoped the Noble Lord
would get up in a short time and explain under
what treaty or understanding this protocol was
issued. He thought if there was any constitutional
feeling in France, the people of that country
would demand from Louis Philippe the cause of this in-
fringement of the liberties of Europe. He would ask
this House and the country, what they had gained by
these conventions that had been lately entered into ?
—(Hear.) The Noble Lord might ask, what he (Mr.
Osborne) would have done under the circumstances ?
He would reply that he would have given instructions to
the British representative in Portugal to communicate to
Spain, that ou the very first soldier that would cross by
the frontier into Portugal, a British army would be
directly sent there to oppose them —(Hear.) The Go-
vernment organ had to night intimated that the whole
affair was settled—that the policy was triumphant. He
would ask the Noble Lord to get up and tell them how the
the affairs of Portugal were settled. They were nut
settled.—(Hear, hear.) They had done more to unsettle
them, and to disturb monarchical principle in Europe
than any Government that ever preceded them.—(Hear,
hear.) What guarantee had they that the same scenes
would not occur again in the space of three months.
The speech of the Noble Lord in 1329 went counter
to almost every Act which he had authorised since, and
that speech was made on the affairs of Portugal, and
was administered as a rebuke to the Right Hon. Baronet
(Sir R. Peel). He would, in conclusion, ask him to get
up now, and say, as he said then, that he was defending
the cause of liberty from the banks of the Tagus to the
shores of the Bosphorus.—(Cheers.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I was anxious that the
earliest possible day should be given to the Hon. Member
for Montrose that he might have an opportunity of
bringing his resolution before the House, condemning
the course which the Government is pursuing with
respect to the affairs of Portugal; but, Sir, after hearing
his speech, and that of the Hon. Gentleman who has
just sat down, I am in doubt whether our natural anxiety
to have this question brought before the House,
and not to shrink from any accusation that might be
made against us has not brought upon the House the
inconvenience of Gentlemen preparing their opinions
and their speeches upon this subject, without reference
to the facts upon which they have to speak—(Hear)—
because, Sir, both the Hon. Gentleman the Member for
Montrose, but more especially the lion. Gentleman who
has just sat down spoke entirely from a reference to
some papers which did not exist, whilst the details of
the subject were to be found in the papers which
have been placed on the table of the House.
The Honourable Gentleman who has just spoken has
founded his speech and his censure entirely upon the
supposition that her Majesty's Government were en-
gaged in establishing an absolute Government in Portia.
gal.—(Hear, hear.) That it was their intention to
maintain a despotism in that country, and be therefore
broke out in declamation, and gibes, and inferences
against the Ministry who could be guilty of such pro-
ceedings. But the simple fact is, that we had no such
thing in view at all—that, on the contrary, the pro-
positions wade, which my Noble Friend proposed first
to the Queen of Portugal, and afterwards to the Junta'
of Oporto ; those terms were that all previous decrees
should cease, and that everything done on the 6th of
October should be revoked ; that the jury should be
called, and that the constitutional law of the country
should have full play ; and that simple observation de-
stroys, I think, three-fourths of the specious assertions
of the Hon. Gentleman. With respect to the interven-
tion, it appears, as I shall afterwards remark, that he
cannot blame us for interference, when he would have
interfered in this manner—he would have told the Crown
of Spain that no Spanish force should enter Portugal.
—(Hear.) Sir, what I have to contend, in opposition to
the Hon. Gentleman who has made this speech—attack-
ing the conduct of the Government is this—that it was
necessary to interfere,first for the welfare of the interests
of Portugal, and secondly for the interests of this
country ; and further. I am ready to maintain, that by
that interference we not have risked the danger of an
European war. These three propositions I think can be
proved from the papers which have been laid before the
House, and from the events which have taken place
within the last few days.—(Hear.) Sir, I will not
follow the Honourable Gentleman who has just sat
down, upon the sunject of the previous administrations
of Portugal during the time of the Cabrals. That bud)
was destroyed by a revolution—by a military revolution
—like others which have since held office. The Duke
of Palmella was at the heal of the administration whei,
that meeting of the Cabral party took place, which
caused the Government so much alarm, and to alt
parties thee out of power, because they threatened the
suppression of the constitution and the destruction of
the pewee of the monarchy. The Queen thought ieneces•
nary, being acted upon by these alarms, partaking of th,
fears that were entertainee.joining with those whoformed a
considerable party ; she thought it necessary to ask ill,
Duke of Palmella he could save her from the dangers
which she apprehended, and on his professing himself
ready to continue the Ministry, but not offering any gua-
rantee as to what might occur, he desired that he might
be permitted to resign and immediately form another
Ministry.—(Hear, hear.) Now, so far there was nothing
unconstitutional. There might be some imprudence in the
conduct of the Sovereign of Portugal, but so far as the
dismissal of the Ministry was concerned, that
was an act of the Sovereign, and one
to which the Minist,r of any Sovereign might
be subject. Lord Howard de Walden, who was
then at Lisbon, seems to have supposed at first that the
nomination of the Ministry of Das Antas would be
favourably receive d. Upon a party waiting upon him,
and asking him whether they would be sate, and whether
they might depend upon the execution of the law. in
reply he stated that, he expected that the law could be
administered without any revolutionary move-
ment ; but in a few days after, the parties
opposed to them, and who urged the Duke
of Palmella to change his Ministers, joined Das
Antis, and they formed a Junta in Oporto. They sent
circular addresses to the Sovereign, in which they
demanded that the new Ministry should be dismissed,
and expressed their fears of what is called Cabralistic
faction in Portugal. Upon that demand being refused
they placed themselves in arms against their Sovereign.
I am not now to argue whether they were justified in
their fears, or whether that which they apprehended
woule have takes place, but I am quite ready to admit
that at Oporto and various other places the provisions
of the constitution were entirely thrown aside, and the
most disgraceful and arbitrary acts of the most despotic
nature were the consequences, which were sanctionediby
the Government. The Hon. Member for Montrose went
tnrough the narrative of those various acts as it
they were these which her Majesty's Government
were prepared to defend, and which they received
with indulgence. I say, on the contrary, that,
those very acts form a part of our case.
as it was to put an end to proceedings like these, said to
prevent the conenuanee of that arbitrary system of
government, that my Noble Friend wrote the dispatch of
April sth, in which he proposed the terms to the Queen
and the Junta. Take the acts in succession as they
arose, and you will find that her Majesty's Minister at
Lisbon disapproved of what they did afterwards, and
earnestly remonstrated with the Government at Lisbon
upon the
arbitrary character of these acts. Take one of
them, which was the deputation of the prisoners
taken at Torres Vedras, an act of great
injustice in itself, and certainly most cruel to those
persons. Unfortunately, the Queen of Portugal had
placed herself in the hands of a party who seemed to
have thought that the indulgence of cruelty should be
part of their policy, and who continued so to act, in
defiance of every remonstrance. Now, sir, the Hon.
Gentleman who spoke last has said much in favour of the
people, and much against the conduct of the Queen of
Portugal. I will now re ad to the House a report of Mr.
S.theron, with respect t. the Torres Vedras
question. ( fhe Noble Lord then read the retort,
which stated that the subject had received
the must careful deliberation of the Council, and
he was happy to think that the benevolent feelings of
her Majesty towards the prisoners would not unlikely
lead to an immediate resignation of the Ministry, and '
the same might be said with respect to every act then
adopted. My Noble Friend .wrote to the Junta to pro-
pose that the terms should be altered, and communicated
the same intention to Das Antes, urging that be should
resign the command of the army and return into private
life. We are easily ineuced to consider in this country
—we are easily induced to believe that those who are
in the service of the Sovereign are responsible
for the acts of the Sovereign. I think it was a most
imprudent thing for the Queen to put herself into the
hands of a party which governed for several months.
But I think it 14 too much for the Hon. Member fur
Wycombe to lay the blame personally upon the Sove-
reign, and not to consider that this party, who had the
Ministry in its hands, and who proposed to leave the
Queeneern without a Government, or without direction of
11e l
a Pay, that they are not responsible fur their acts.
On the other hand the Junta became less and
less a body. representing the
. feelings of the people, or
of the national party, After referring to another ex-
tract from the repo rt of

state, and neither party seemed likely to gain a victory.
Portugal was being destroyed, her commerce and agri-
culture were neglected, and danger and rapine arose.
The whole country was divided among the soldiery.
Every dispatch which arrived deplored this state
of things. It' in these circumstances a termination could
have been put to these civil broils, and the constitution
of the country secured from danger, which would have
satisfied those who had taken part on one side or the
other. and which would have recalled, at the same time,
those who had been sent to Angola, providing for the
convocation of the Cortes as a security for the pass-
ing of an those measures. He thought it must be ob-
vious to every one that the greatest good would accrue
to Portugal ; and such, in tact, was the pro-
positio ^pf the dispatch of the .sth of April.

MADAME BALFE'S SOIREE MUSICALE, MUSIC
HALL, STORE•STREIT.—Madame Balte's soirée musicale,
which was given on Wednesday night, was one of the most
fashionable reunions of the season. It was given under the
immediate patronage of her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent, the members of the Amateur Musical Society having
lent their valuable assistance. The concert opened with
Balfe's spirited overture to his popular opera The Siege of
Rochelle, played with an admirable ensemble by the distill•
guished amateurs. The quartette which created such a sen-
sation in Paris on the production of Balfe's L'Etoilede Seville
was deliciously rendered by Madame Castellan, Signori Gar
doni, Staudigl, and Bouchl. The duet from Ballefs Falstaff,
"Vol sute au nom di apirito," followed, which Signori Coletti
and Lablache sang with great spirit and comic effect.
Staudigl was most successful in the ballad from The Castle
(g° Aymon (which was encored), also by the caro spur° of
the benefiolaire. The first part of the concert concluded with
a declamazione by Manzeni, which was spoken most int-
proz.ively by Signor F. Jannetti. The overture to
The Castle of Aymon opened the second part, ad-
mirably played by the amateurs. The chief attrac-
tien of this part of the concert was a charming
new ballad by Balfe, " Oh, chide me not," which
was sung by -Madame Belle with all that true feeling,
taste, and expression for which she is so distinguished, her
fine voice telling with great effect on the B below the lines.
This beautiful composition was rapturously applauded and
unanimously encored by the audience. signor Frascbini
sung with great power the celebrated aria from Keolantke.
A manuscript sestett, by Osborne, was one of the most ad-
mired and effective pieces during this excellent concert, which
was indeed given in first-rate style by Messrs. Ciardi (flute)
Lavigne (oboe), Vitch (horn), Piatta (violoncello), the Che-
valier Anglois (contra basso), and the talented composer,
who was frequently interrupted during the performance by
the rapturous applause of the audience, not only for his own
excellent performance, but for his charming composition.
We must also, in justice to Signori Lavigne and Ciardi, state
that their portion of the aestett was deliciously rendered.
We had nearly forgotten to mention that Lahlache was en-
cored in Mozart's" Madamina it catalogo," but as he was
engaged to Bing at the concert at Marlborough House, Mr.
Belle requested the audience to excuse him. The concert
was not only very fully but very fashionably attended ; anti,
thasks to the excellent arrangements, the concert was over at
a quarter before eleven.
THE POLISH INSURGENTS.—The number of Poles
implicated in the insurrection of 1846 is, says a Berlin letter,
216; but it is expected that not more than half of them will
be brought to trial.
A SUGGESTION FROM SIIITHORP.—In consequence
of the recent high price of broad, Colonel Sibthorp has set
his wits to work, and those very dimunitive labourers have
come to the conclusion " that if the bakers are ordered to use
no yeast, any further rise in bread will be quite impossible.
—Poach.
THE DISSOLUTION.—AH impressive and somewhat
oppressive contemporary—he appears weakly—discourses of
the dying of the present Parliament. " The straw," he says,
" is laid before the door ; the death-rattle is in the legislative
throat." So be it. In the hope of getting a still better Par-
liament next time, we consent to be "pleased with the
rattle, tickled with the straw."—jlan in the Moon.
THE WEATHER, TRADE, &C.—After a month's
undisturbed sunshine the temperature has become cooler, and
several refreshing showers have fallen during the present
week. This will be most favourable for the crops, especially
on stiff lands; the wheat is now ready to burst into ear-;
turnips and potatoes are looking exceedingly well, ai;d there
is as yet no indication of disease in the last mentioned root.
Fruit trees are much infested with insects, whose ravages
have much thinned what bid fair to be an extraordinarily
heavy crop. Since the price of grain has fallen there appears
to be a better feeling among manufacturers, and the money
market has become somewhat more favourable.— Worcester-
shire Chronicie.

LONGEVITY IN WEST CUMBEELAND.—We have
often had occasion to notice the great age which many of the
inhabitants of West Cumberland attain before they go hence
and are no more seen ; but we never before had to chronicle
so large a number as forty persons having died in the same
town, within 17 months, whose ages averaged above four-score
years each. We have on former occasions stated that few
places could equal Cockermouth for the longevity of its in-
habitants, and we are not afraid to challenge all England to
produce a parallel to what we are about to state—taking, of
course, the time over which our chronicle extends and the
extent of the population of the place to which it refers. We
subjoin a list of 40 individuals interred at Cockermouth
Church between the Ist of January, 1846, and the Ist of
June, 1847...-a period of 17 month,, whose united ages amount
to Three thousand two hundred and ninety-one years! being an
average of more than fourscore years each. The names and
ages o this extraordinary list of octagenarians are:—

OLLS' COU HT, June 11.
ALEXANDEJI V. THE• DUKE OF WiLLINGTON.
This was the petition of the assignees of Messrs. Alex-
ander and Co., of India, proving for the payment out of
court of a sum of 13,00(X., Deccan prize money, to which
Lord Hastings was entitled. It appeared that Lord Hastings
had incurred debts to that amount to Messrs. Alexander and
Co., who were now insolvent. The petition being defective
in a technical point, leave was given to amend it..
There was a vast number of unopposed petitions before the
Court to-day, none of which were of general interest.

CAMPBELL V. BLAKE.
This was an application to the Court for a mandamus to
the custos of a. town in Cumberland, requiring that he
should swear in the plaintiff as a churchwarden. It ap-
peared from the affidavits t at the parishioners had for a
length oftime enjoyed ttte privilege of appointing twochurch-
wardens, without any challenge of the right so to dc; how-
ever, the present custos refused to recognise it, and, under the
canon law, had appointed one churchwarden, leaving the
parishioners the appointment of a second. The affidavit.
went on to state, that memory ran not to the contrary of the
parishioners' right to appoint two officers. The present pro-
ceeding was instituted, therefore, to try this right.
Rule to show cause granted.
SMYTH V. HENRY.
This was an application to the Court to have judgment
entered nunc pro tune ; it arose out of a suit on breach of con-
tract. It appeared that the defendant was partner of the
plaintiff in the isinglass trade, and in consequence of some
jealousy between them they agreed to separate, but a large
balance was claimed by the plaintiff as due to him. On the
settling of the accounts the defendant refused to pay the
sum, and the plaintiff accordingly, holding some acceptances
of the other pasaed for their mutual accommodation, pro-
ceeded to recover upon them. An arrest of. judgment was
moved and granted, and the defendant had since absconded,
and was stated to be residing in France. and although
warned of this application had refused to appear.
Application granted.
THE QUEEN V. TIIOMPSON.—CRIMDTAL INFORMATION.

Sir F. I'IiESIGER said that in tbis very extraordinary case.
where A rule to show cause why a criminal information sh,mld
not be filed against the defendant for a libel on a lady of the
highest respectability, the defendant had not appeared to
oppose the rule; he therefore would move that it be made
absolute.— Rule stlAsolute.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.—RAILWAY RECORD.
Sir FRIDEILICK THESIGER applied to tt:e Court for a
criminal information against the Railway Record, for having
charged Mr. Kirtley wir h incompetence and recklessness in the
management of the Brighton line, in relation to the late
lamentable accident which occurred upon that line on the
31st of May last. The article complained of was in the
paper of the sth instant.

(Before Jr. Secondary Porrsit.)
MANN r. CII ATTAWA Y.

The plaintiff in this action is a gentleman residing at Bir-
mineham, and the defendant waa connected with the Derby
and Uttoxeter Railway. The action was brought to recover
the sum of 40/. 12s. 6d. for money had and received by the
defendant, to and for the use of the defendant, and interest
thereon.

The defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
The plaintiff's counsel said the transaction t•rose out of one
of the railway schemes of 1845_, and he plaintiff it..ught scrip
for twenty-five shares in the Derby, Utt-zaer, toot S• afford
Railway Cotepany, a! d paid the deposits upon them. but in
March, 1846, the project was abat,doned, aid the d irectorA
proposed to make a retern to the scripholdtrs of
30s. 6d. per share. The . plaintiff wrote to the de-
fendant as the secretary, and, enclosing the -trip,
requested hitn to obtain the money and !emit it. Two or
three lctters were received from defendant with excuses and
promises, but as no money was forth6t ming the present ac-
tion Was commenced.

The SECONDAZY said all this might have been done as
agent for the company.
The Learned Counsel said that he would prove that after
the writ. was i:•sued defendant wrote to plaintiff's attorney
and asked for the amount of debt and costs, which he pro-
mised to pay. This tact having bee❑ proved,
The Learned SiscoNnattv said that the claim for interest
could not be maintained; the defendant had neverguarauteed
toy it.

th-e Learned Counsel said that the dedaration claimed
104, and defendant, by not pleading, admit; ed all to be due.
The SECONDARY said interest could not be recovered ex-
cept under an agreement, or allowed by law.
The jury gave a verdict t ,r the plaintiff, less interest.

POLICE tNTELLIGENg_!E.
BOW STREET.

Mr. Wylde, the well-know a man engraver and publblier of
Charing-cro,s, appeared before Mr. Jardine ttl answer a
summons at the instance of the Trustees of the British
Museum, charging him with neglecting to deposit copies of
four of his publications at the Museum, within the time pre-
scribed by the Act.
Mr. Wylde when called on to plead, wished first to make
soma übservation. which lee said would save much time and
trouble to the Court and to Mr. Bodkin, who appeared as
counsel fur the trustees of the Museum; but being told that
nothing could be heard till he had pleaded, he pleaded" Nut
Guilty," observing that he did so as a matter of form.
Formal evidence was then given to prove that Mr. Wylde
had published two Nos. of the "Popular Atlas of the World;"
a railway map of Great Britain, and another of Ireland, in the
course of the present year without depositing copies at the
Museum.

Mr. Wylde, in defence, said that he had no wish to avoid
giving copies of his works to the Museum as required by law,
but, on the contrary, he was exceedingly anxious that his works
should find their way into the archives of that institution, and
remain there for ages to come. Neither was he disposed to
dispute the right of the trustees to have copies of all new
editions deposited, as that question had already been decided
in this c ,urt ; but he really could not conceive that they re-
quired to have copies gent which contained errors,
and others in which those errors had been cor-
rected. In this instance errors had been made in
each of the four publications. and he had only delayed send-
ing copies until they had been correcte I. He thought that
in courtesy the trustees might have given him sortie notice
before taking this proceeding, as a sim to note from their
solicitor would have led to an exwaomion, and saved much
trouble. Ho was by no means disposed to he illiberal in these
matters, on the contrary he gave away nearly 100 copies f
every work he published to public institutions here and
abroad; and if he had otyjected to give copies of new editions
on a former occasion, he did so as a matter of principle, being
under the impression that the Museum was not ens Wed,
_ _

Mr. Bodkin arid he did not believe the defence offered.
He thought that Mr. %%71Tte was refusing to send these
works trom obstinacy, thinkkg it her I that he should be
compelled to send c,pies of reprints. It was not the busines-
of the Museum to WI e note• to every publisher who neglected
to send cilTics.
*lr. JARDINE did not think the defeod,int's answer suffi-
cient. Even supposing That it was the case that he kept
the works back in ,Eder to trrike corrections and sen perfect
copies, it. was his business to communicaTe with the
trustees, and not to wait for Client to write to
him. Ile would inflict the full penalty of 21. for
each offence, making 81.. and 8a 6d., the value of the
works; and he would order him to p4y 101. for the costs in-
curred in the- prosecution by the trustees.
Mr. Wylde immediat.dv paid the line

vANcT BlLL—Thursday a court was held for the dispatch
of public hu,ines.i. Although the paper was crammed with
notices of motion, repots. and petitions, very little progress
indeed was made in the business of the Corporation, upwards
of three hours having been occupied in a discussion upon the
merits of the alterations proposed in the Select Committee

lative to the conscrvaccy of the river Inaincs. The subject
was discussed with clos-d do: rs, but we understand that the

present session of Parliament. The doors ,t the court' were
then thrown 'wen, and the members tried dell to the election
of collector of city's duties wines. The candidates for
the office of collector of the duties on wines were Mr. Bayliss,
who was formeriv a most popular member f the Court of
Common Council, and Mr. Scott, second son to the la
highly respected chief clerk in the Charnberhin's office. Mr.
Bayliss was, after a poll, declared to be the successful can-

NEW WAY OF DISPERSING A MOB,--A Reverend
Gentleman from the Highlands paid a visit to Glasgow on th,
27th ult., her Majesty's birthday; and in the evening, while
a walk through the city, came in contact with a mob.
gseemed bent upon mischiet, and were about to proceed
twtoahkaoicnts of violence. Oar divine, who is s man of large di-
mensions and Herculean frame, undauntedly rushed into the
centre of the rioters, and, atter looking for a policeman in
vain, raised his huge stick in the air, and, with stentorian
voice, called out, "Gordon—Captain Gordon, iintnediatelv
bring here a party of my regiment—the 79th—and quell this
mob." The blackguards were taken by surprise, and, no
doubt, dreading the consequences, quietly dispersed, one of
them asking another, " What is he, that tat buffer r—llen-

IiEMARKAIILR DISCOVERY.—On Wednesday even•
ing lest the body of a man was found in Gransha-bog, near
Newtownards. Although upwards of twenty years interred,
coroner f inquest
was body was in a perfect state of preservation.An in
was held on Saturday, before Mr. B. Ward, c:iroi
the lower division of the county of Down, when the body
was recognised by several witnesses as being that of a man
named Hugh Dunlop, who is supposed to have been murdered
about twenty years ago. The inquiry was adjourned till the
17th inst., in order that some important witnesses might be
enabled to attend and give evidence. It is supposed, from
the position in which deceased was found in the bog, and the
fact of his wrist having been broken, that he met a violent
death. His clothes were found many years ago, in a spot
not tar distant from the place whe.e his body had been
secreted. Strong hopes areentertained that the perpetrators
of the murder, even at this distance of time, will be dis-
covered.— Belfast paper.
