THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1840.

Van Buren the actual President of the United States,
have both been as loud in their denunciations of " splen-
did but in many instances profitless railroads and canals."
They have not, indeed, gone the length, or trodden the
same beaten path with some of those co-objectors in
this country, who indite horrifying dirges about the
multifariousness of railway accidents, and would carry
us back triumphantly to those safety carriage times,
when heroes like " Roderic Random" were creepingly
dragged to town per stage waggon, by which no
bones were broken, albeit every one was shook and
dislocated from its proper bearings. Time was when,
through the like obnoxious process of economical inno-
vation, the " packhorse and bridle-way system" was as
rudely assailed and as ruthlessly overturned as stage
coach travelling by railways now, by the construction
of highways and the Duke of Bridgewater's canal, to
the utter discomfiture of the carriers and pedlars of
those days. And the Duke moreover was then just
as outrageously challenged, and with vastly more
reason, for a mammoth of monopoly, as railways
now are. The objections arrayed against the
" federal system of internal improvements" by
the veteran Jackson, resolved themselves mainly
into their unconstitutionality ; whilst Mr. Van
Buren confines the expression of his repugnance chiefly
to the one financial point involved—viz., that as being
undertaken for account of the Federal States, the rail-
way system had brought them into debt and into the
necessity of contracting foreign leans, the payment of
interest on which, assuming railways to be unproductive,
must be provided for by direct taxation, and therefore,
pro tanto, become a burden on the industry of the
labouring classes, who, it is falsely contended, derive no
corresponding benefit from their establishment. Here,
at all events, we have something intelligible in the shape
of oppositio❑ to grapple with, for it is yet a question
among the warmest friends and admirers of the Union
whether, if constitutional, it were wise or politic in the
Federal States to rush into debt for the promotion of un-
dertakings which might better perhaps have been aban-
doned to local interests and the energies of individual
capitalists.

(From the Standard.)
The contents of the Paris papers of Sunday and
Monday afford strong grounds for the belief that the
Soult-Guizot Administration will, in spite of the en-
venomed hostility displayed towards it by the Pa-
risian Press, be enabled to maintain its position.
Indeed, if we may judge from the result of the recent
election of a deputy for Corbeil, communicated in
the Moniteur Pa) isien of yesterday, the con-
stituencies of France are little disposed to adopt
the opinions of M. Thiers ; and, if the tone of public
feeling in that town may be regarded as indicative of
that of the French provinces in general, the present
Ministry are in a fair way to obtain a triumphant
majority. On this occasion M. Darblay, the Con-
servative member, was elected by a majority of 205
votes ; and whilst M. Leon Faucher, the Editor of
the Courricr Francais, and the intimate friend and
collaborateur of M. Thiers, was only able to obtain 38
votes out of 409, M. Saulmon, another but more mo-
derate adherent of the late Cabinet, only mustered 77.
This signal triumph cannot fail to strengthen very
materially the belief that is everywhere entertained
that the war mania is confined chiefly to Paris,
and has resulted altogether from the shameless
falsehoods and incendiary denunciations of the organs
of M. Thiers. The Paris papers of Sunday have,
with the exception only of the Journal des Debats,
assumed a tone of the fiercest hostility to the new
Cabinet, who are denounced in the greater part of
them as " traitors to their country," " the for!ign
ministry," the " ministry of the coalition," the
" Polignac ministry," the " ministry of re-action,"
" the ministry of intimidation ;" in short, by every
epithet of reproach which seems best fitted to ex-
cite the popular odium against them. M. Guizot
is indeed charged individually with having been
guilty of duplicity to the late Cabinet—with having
bartered French independence with the Foreign
Powers in order to secure his accession to office—
whilst the temperate and well-timed proclamation
of Marshal Soult to the army is represented as an
uncalled-for menace of the most insulting kind, and
himself held up to public indignation as a sycophant
and time-server, who is prepared to become a willing
instrument of the most atrocious tyranny. Such is the
conduct of the press of the ex-Minister, to whose hypo-
critical declaration, that he would offer no factious op-
position to the Government, we have already alluded.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS' COURT, Nor. 3.

The unopposed petitions occupied the Court until a
quarter past eleven o'clock. Motions were afterwards
taken, among which was ore in a case of

NILYRICK V. WOODROFFE AND OTHERS.

The plaintiffs were parties entitled in reversion to cer.
tain cstates in Wales, which consisted of mine', and they
granted a lease of those mines to the defendant 'Wood-
rale, who laid down tram-roads, erected engines, and
attached other machinery to the premises for the
purpose of working the mines. Being considered
in debt to the plaintiffs in respect of rcpt, Woodroffe
afterwards sold his interest in the mines to the Messrs.
Brewer:, co-defendants to the bill, and was pro-
ceeding to detach from the property what had been, as the
plaintiffs alleged, attached to the freehold, for the purpose
of selling it to Messrs. Brewers, who had purchased his in.
terest in the lease. The bill was therefore filed in October

1834 against Mr. Woodroffc and Messrs. Brewers,
for an injunction to restrain the removal of any portion of
the mach►nery, on the ground that the property belonged
to the plaintiffs, ani that the defendants had no right to
any portion of it. That injunction issued. In 1836, the
cause came on for hearing when a reference was
made to the M..ster to take an account of what
was due in respect of rent, &c. That reference being
still pending, Mr. Woodroffe commenced an actio❑ in the
Exchequer of Pleas against the defendants, Messrs.
Brewers, to recover the sum of 874/. I6s. Ild., being the
amount of the property he had sold to them, and
Mr. PEMBERTON now moved on behalf of the
plaintiffs to the bill in equity for an injunc-
tion to restrain Mr. Woodroffe from prosecuting
that action, and from commencing any other proceedings
for the sum agreed to be given for the property, until the
rights of all p►rties should have been adjudicated upon by
the Court.

No one appearing to oppose the motion, an order to that
etToct %vas immediately made.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 3.

THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE TRUSTEES OF
TIIE MANCHESTER TURNPIKE ROADS V. TIIE MANCHESTER

AND LEEDS RAILWAY COMPANY.
Mr. ALEXANDER moved for a rule to show cause why
judgment in this case should not be entered for the pro-
secution, notwithstanding the verdict had been for
the defendants on some of the issues, and also why the
mandamus should not be made absolute. A mandamus
had been moved for in Michaelmas term, 1838, and made
absolute in Michaelmas term, 1839, calling upon the
defendants to reform and make convenient a cer.
tain turnpike road which had been damaged and
rendered inconvenient by the erection of a via-
duct. A return had been made to this mandamus, and
fifteen issues had been raised upon it. The question came
on for trial before Mr. Baron Rolfe at the last assizes at
Liverpool, and on eleven issues out of the fifteen the
verdict had been for the prosecution, and on four of
them for the Company. Of the issues found for
the Company, three were perfectly immaterial,
and the other point was doubtful, and would give rise to
a question of law, which all the parties bad agreed to leave
for the ultimate decision of this Court. That point was
whether a certain footpath made by the Company was
equally convenieut with the old one; and this point
had been found for the Company : but he con-
tended that the verdict on the other issues clearly
showed that the Company had disobeyed the orders of the
Court, and therefore he was entitled to have the manda-
mus made absolute.
Lord DENMAN doubted whether the Court could do
more than grant a rule for a new trial. The issues should
have been objected to as immaterial before trial, but as
both parties had agreed to have them tried, he did not see
how the Court could do more than grant a rule for a new trial.
Mr. ALEXANDER said perhaps their Lordships would
grant the rule as fc: a new trial or for making the man-
damus absolute.
The Court took time to consider.
TIIE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR OF LUDLOW.
This was a rule which had been obtained at the in-
stance of Mr. Lechmere Charlton, calling upon the de-
fendant to show cause why a mandamus should not issue
enjoining him to insert Mr. Lechmero Charlton on the
Burgess roll of the Borough.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL showed cause against the rule.
The whole question was whether the parish of Ludford
could be considered as part of the borough of Ludlow,
which he thought ho should satisfy the Court it was not.
The Learned Gentleman then went into a lengthened ar-
gument, and quoted from a variety of charters and other
documents, with a view of showing that Ludford was not
part of the borough of Ludlow.
Mr. KELLY shortly replied, and
The COURT directed the rule to be made absolute.
QUO WARRANTO.—BOROUGH OF CARNARVON.
THE QUEEN V. WILLIAMS.
In this case a rule nisi bad been obtained, calling upon
Mr. Henry Rumsey Williams to show cause why a quo
warranto should not issue, calling upon him to show by
what authority he exercised the office of Mayor and Al-
derman of the borough of Carnarvon. It was stated in the
affidavits in support of the application, among other grounds,
that the defendant had not been elected by a duly qualified
elective body ; that he bad held an office of trust and
profit under the Coporation, ho having been engaged as
the solicitor in conducting a Chancery suit, and his elec-
tion being void under the statute of Anne, he having
served the office of Mayor and returning-officer during the
year preceding. This last ground of objection, it was ad-
mitted, had been cured by the statute of the 3d and 4th
Victoria, although at the time it was made it was a valid
one.
Mr. RICHARDS showed cause against the rule, and with
regard to the qualifications of the elective body, contended
that by the Act the Court was precluded from inquiring
into the matter, inasmuch as more than twelve months had
elapsed since their constitution. The allegation that he
held an office of trust and profit was denied, inasmuch as
although he conducted the Chancery proceedings for the
Corporation, be ,did so on the understanding that
that he was merely to receive the money he should be out
of pocket, without any profit or emolument for his own
exertion whatever. The Learned Counsel also contended
that the section referred to did not relate to the Mayor at
all, but merely to the Councilmen and Aldermen.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was about to argue in support
of the rule, when
