business is not with Mr. Walter or his paper—it is with Eng-
lishmen and England.
No persons regret more than we the change in
the Time.; from our leader in the cause of Reform
to our most powerful opponent. During a con-
' sideral period it was a " true book persuading
England—a Bishop," as Mr. CARLYLE says, "or
Archbishop, the Primate of England and of all
England ;" but then it became a false book, a
loud voice without any meaning, like a priest re-
peating his prayers in a language he does not un-
derstand. It formerly taught us that the Tories
were always like a duck-legged drummer in the
rear of the regiment; and now, while we are re-
quired to march steadily forward as the means of
safety, the Times essays to drive back the whole
battalion to a line with the waddling duck-legged
drnmmer. It used to tell us emphatically
that we had too much Church ; we believed
it, we believe that assertion still ; but
the Times now argues for more Church,
and more parsons. In only one point has it
preserved consistency. It was the parent
of violence, by its brickbat and bludgeon recom-
mendations; the fire-and-faggot faction of the
Chartists sprang from its loins, and it now ap-
peals to its children. The moderate and reason-
able Chartists spurn it; those who advised arm-
ing, and pointed out how children, by the inser-
tion of a bodkin into the machinery of mills,
might bring it to a still stand, are Mr. WALTER'S
friends. from good it has apostatised, and has
remained consistent only in evil. The electors
of Nottingham are now asked to honour and
reward the Times.
Some of the leaders of the violent section of
the Chartists are Irishmen—will they forget the
language and conduct of the Times, and support
Mr. WALTER merely to spite the 'Whigs? It has
recommended that Ireland be re-conquered; it
has spoken of the Irish priests as surpliced
ruffians; it has been of late systematically op-
posed to that system of governing Ireland which
has done so much for its tranquility; and is now
to be considered as the embodyment of Orange
principles, and the representative of Orangemen.
When such are its well-known politics and cha-
racter, no other than an Irish Orangeman, can
use his influence in favour of Mr. WALTER.
Nottingham has long been renowned for its
free and intelligent spirit. Lord HOLLAND was
for many years its Recorder, and we treat it as
utterly impossible that Nottingham can now
choose the representative of apostacy, intole-
rance, and bigotry. It would be most ungra-
cious toward Ireland to elect Mr. WALTER.
The Irish justly complain of injuries and in-
sults. They demand Repeal, because they
can get no justice from England. The Times
has been distinguished for the virulence
of its attacks on the Irish; and were the
electors of Nottingham to return Mr. WAL-
TER, that would assure the Irish that they
must look only to themselves and Repeal for re-
dress. There are some men, however great may
be. their talents and signal their virtues, who are
the representatives of such ultra and injurious
opinions that they ought on no account to lie
placed in Parliament. Mr. WALTER is one of
these ; for to elect him is to honour the lan-
guage and conduct of the Times. It will confirm
Mr. O'CONNELL'S statement that the passport to
favour in England is to abuse his country. Mr.
WALTER'S success, as the reward of apostacy,
would be a disgrace to Nottingham and to Eng-
land ; as an encouragement to insult the Iris
. _

day. The readers of The Sun will be delighted at
the homage paid to our greatest living naval hero.
It does equal honour to the people of Liverpool
and the Gallant Officer. The Mayor, even
while he professed himself no admirer of men
of the sword, could not refrain from showing
his great respect for the Commodore by pre-
siding at the dinner. He said only what is emi-
nently true and just when he complimented the
Commodore on being an able negotiator as well as
a great warrior. The Commodore's reply was a
brief and modest history of his operations in
Syria, and of his negotiations with MEHEMET
Am, the latter of which do him as much honour
as his victories. What he said of the Egyptian
Pacha is extremely favourable, and adds both
to our conviction of the impolicy of trampling
on him and our regret at the attempt. The Gal-
lant Commodore's speech is an historical docu-
ment of great interest, and it tends to prove that
he can talk as well as negotiate and fight.

A ponderous volume, which, however, forms
but the first part of the diplomatic correspond-
ence relative to the settlement of the Eastern
Question, has been presented to both Houses of
Parliament by command of her MAJESTY. With
many of the documents contained in it the public
is already familiar; but there are others which
cannot fail to surprise all who take an interest
in the foreign policy of this country. The zeal
with which we have hitherto defended the foreign
policy of Lord PALMERSTON would have been
somewhat abated had we been aware of many of
those Downing-street secrets which are now re-
vealed to us. Though prepared to find Lord
PALMERSTON acting in concert with Russia, it re-
quired the publication of these official papers to
convince us of the extent to which his Lordship
lent himself to promote the views of that wily
and unscrupulous Power. The following extract
from the dispatch No. 353, addressed by Baron
BRUNNOW, the Russian Plenipotentiary, to his
colleague, the sagacious Count. NESSELRODE,
dated the 26th of September, 1839, will not in-
crease the nation's confidence in the patriotism
of the Noble Foreign Secretary
He began by telling me that the Council had taken into se-
rious consideration the overtures with which I had been en-
trusted.
That it had not hesitated to admit and strongly to appreciate
the sincerity of the intention by which those overtures had
been dictated.
That on this point the opinion of the Members of the Cabi-
net was unanimous, so as to pay the tribute which is due to the
rectitude of the intentions of our august Master.
That the desire manifested by the Emperor to come to an
amicable understanding with England, with respect to the
affairs of the East, was in entire conformity with the wishes of
the British Cabinet; but that the latter is under the necessity
of not losing sight of many considerations which make it expe-
dient for it to observe great caution in its proceedings, in
order not to run directly counter to opinions which it is im-
portant to it that it should have regard for.
Lord Palmerston, on this point, entered into very detailed
explanations, which I will endeavour, M. le Comte, to repeal
in this place, while I report to you, as faithfully as possible, the
very words employed by this Minister.
" The opinion of my colleagues," said he, " is loudly ex-•
pressed in favour of the same principles as those which you have
set forth on the part of your Cabinet, for the maintenance of
the independence and the preservation of the Ottoman empire.
Like you, we desire to act for this purpose in concert with you,
and to dedicate thereto a common action. We should be de-
termined to act in this manner with all the Cabinets who might
be willing to concur with us for the attainment of this object.
We should be ready to proceed in this course with France, and
even without her, if she refused to rejoin therein. We per-
sist in thinking that our efforts should be directed to reinstate
the Sultan in the possession of Syria. We do not conceal from
ourselvesthat this result cannot be obtained without a display
of force designed to overcome the resistance of the Pacha.
" Still, neither can we overlook that the employment of these
measures might lead Mehemet Ali to adopt an extreme reso-
lution, and to march his army on Cons,antinople.
" If this contingency should occur, we are the first to admit
the necessity of seeing Russia interpose her material force to
ensure the safety of the 'capital of 'the Ottoman Empire.. But
in that case, my colleagues are of opinion that it would be de-
'sirable and necessary that the military intervention of Russia
in the Bosphorus, should not have the appearance of excluding
our co-operation.
" According to the unanimous opinion of the Council, the
military intervention of Russia, if it should become necessary
for the protection and defence of Constantinople, ought to take
place in such a manner as that it might be combined with a
certain degree of ce-operation and assistance on the part of the
naval forces of England.
" This co-operation might be settled so as not to blend and
not to bring in contact the forces of one Power with those at
the other. This distinction would even be the result of a prin-
ciple on which we are already agreed. As a general proposi-
tion, we look upon the two Straits of Constantinople as close°
to the flag of war of foreign nations. Consequently, if as an
exception to this rule, and for the common interests of the de-
fence of the Ottoman Empire, one of those Straits should b,
opened to your naval forces, it would be just and natural, that
in pursuance of the same exception, the other of those Straits
should equally admit our naval forces. They would appear
there by no means with the intention of confining or controlling
your action. Each of the two Straits would be placed under
the p,otection of the respective Powers, whose forces would
in this manner remain separated, and would net find themselve-
in presence. of each other. You on one side, we on the other,
would be there to prevent the Egyptian army from crossing
the canal of Constantinople. Placed at a distance from each
other, the respective forces would run no risk of coming in
contact. Besides the numerical disproportions which wouls
exist between them, would evidently show that our co-opera-
tion could have no hostile tendency with respect to you; for
the presence of three or four ships of the line which we should
send there, would assuredly not be calculated to compete with
your land and sea forces concentrated in the Bosphorus. All
that would be necessary for us, would be to prove to the nation
that we have not consented to allow ourselves to be excluded from
a common operation, having fur its object to preserve the
capital of the Ottoman Empire ; that we have not formally
agreed to a principle by which Russia would be empowered to
exercise that protectorate alone.
" It is not, therefore, from mistrust as to the intentions of
the Emperor, whom we respect, nor from jealousy of Russia,
with whom we are sincerely desirous of proceeding together,
but only from the considerations above-mentioned that it is im-
possible tor
,us to accede to an arrangement by which we
should ourselves pronounce the absolute exclusion of our flag
from a quarter where we should in principle establish the iso-
lated presence of yours."
It is in these terms that Lord Palmerston communicated to
me the decision of the Council. He did so in a manner which
proved to me that the British Cabinet at the present time en-
tertained no mistrust as to the intentions of our august Master
with regard to Turkey. But that in expressing the opinion
above set forth, it had merely guarded itself against the attacks
which it is easy for it to anticipate, in the event of its lending
itself to concessions which might be represented as an injury
done to the honour of the British nation.
Is it then possible that Lord PALMERSTON
could so betray the interests of this country
as to enter into a collusive negotiation with
Russia, flinging the dust of spurious pa-
triotism into the eyes of the British people,
while actually engaged in abandoning the
Turkish capital to Russian protection ? Will
it be believed that while negotiating for the
possible presence of a Russian fleet of twelve sail
of the line and as many frigates, with an army
of from sixty to eighty thousand men at Constan-
tinople, Lord PALMERSTON could propose being
content with the mockery of three or four ships-
of-the-line and a handful of Marines to keep watch
at the mouth of the Dardanelles? We cannot
give credit to the evidence of our senses without
condemning, in the strongest terms which it be-
comes public journalists to employ, the dishonest
and dastardly policy evolved in Lord PALMER-
STON'S alleged conversation with the Russian
Minister. The whole tenor of the conversation
in to show that but for the force of public opinion
out oi'doors Lord PALMERSTON would have no
compunction whatever in constituting Russia sole
guardian and .protector of the integrity of the
Ottomaii empire. But upon this point France
happily uhared not in the easy credulity of the
British Cabinet. The French Ministry made no
secret of its suspicions of the good faith of the
CZAR, and of its determination to send a powerful
fleet to Constantinople the instant a Russian
ship-of-the-line cast its shadow upon the waters
of the Bosphorus. This wholesome suspicion en
the part of France is resented in one of Count
NESSELRODE'S despatches, dated 26th of Decem-
ber, 1639, in terms which actually menace the
existence of the Ottoman empire. As they are
as remarkable for the manner as the matter, we
will quote them for the information of our read-
ers :

might be dangerous to the empire. We need
not ask the electors of Nottingham to consider
these matters, we know that they are very at-
tentive to all just considerations bearing on their
contest, and we expect that by rejecting Mr.
WALTER they NVill confirm the high opinion
which the whole empire e itertains of their spirit
and integrity.

We do the parsons' journals, which call inces-
santly on the community to respect and honour
all the formalities and observances of religion,
the credit of supposing, that, like ourselves, they
doubted the accuracy of the story that Lord
CARDIGAN had flogged a soldier on the Sabbath
Day, and therefore held their peace on the sub-
ject. It was too monstrous to be readily believed.
All doubt is now at an end, and silence is no
longer practicable. The journals we have allu-
detito must now speak out.
Last night, in the House of Commons,
Mr. aIfAcAULAY, the Secretary of War, ad-
mitted that the man had been flogged on the
Sabbath, and in the place where Divine Service
had been performed, though another military
ceremony, namely, an inspection in another
place, had intervened between the worship of
GOD and the flogging a brother. Time, we
presume, was given to put down the altar
and put up the halberts, unless the same con-
trivance might have served for both purposes;
and then the sound of the cat, and the wailing of
the sufferer, followed the effusions of the soul in
prayer and the chaunt of thanksgiving.
The plain fact is, that in the very place
where the Earl of CARDIGAN had collected
his men to hear the truths of Christianity—
where he had probably joined them in sup-
plicating the ALMIGHTY for mercy and favour
—where they all had joined the chaplain in sup-
plicating the ALMIGHTY for forgiveness as they
forgave their brethren--in 'that very place,
and within half an hour of the time of
offering up these (dare we call them mocking)
prayers to the DEITY, was the man tied up and
flogged ! The punishment is itself abhorrent to
humanity. No justification, but what is to be
found in the negligence or brutality of the officers,
exists of its infliction; to inflict it at any time is
an unnecessary outrage on human feelings—to
inflict it now, in peace, is a wanton cruelty—to
inflict it on the Sabbath is an outrage on religion,
and to inflict it on the spot where prayers to GOD
had just before been solemnly offered up, is a
profane and a terrible mockery.
Our religious people are great sticklers for
observing the. Sabbath; they will not allow
mails to travel on that day ; and what will they
say to flogging a fellow-creature, on the Sab-
bath, and in a place which, a short time before,
had been consecrated to religious worship ?
We have frequently read expressions of
horror at turning churches into hospitals, and
at stabling horses in the consecrated house. of
prayer; but what expressions are adequate to
express this laceration of a fellow-creature's
naked back, amidst all the calculated solemnity
of military punishment, surrounded by his fell ow-
soldiers, who were made the witnesses, and in
some sense the partakers, of his shame and his
agony ? If anything was ever done in the slave
States of America to match this we have not
heard of it, and we are sure that even there it
cannot be surpassed.

What will be done with this Lord CARDIGAN ?
Will he still be allowed to pollute the throne by
remaining in the actual command of a regiment
of which her Majesty's husband is the Colonel /
W ill he continue to disgrace the army, and
make it a bye-word to the empire, by tolerating
in its ranks such a man and such practices?
Will he even be allowed to remain in the country?
A PAINE was forced to expatriate himself for
speaking somewhat freely, though honestly,
against the religious feelings of the people;
but what outrage did he ever commit that wa3 a
tenth part so flagrant as this conduct of Lord
CARDIGAN ? If he be suffered to remain in
the land, except in the deepest obscurity--
if he ever again brave public feeling, auda-
ciously exhibiting himself at the theatres, and
thrusting himself on public notoriety—if he
remain in the army, to brand it with his name ,

It is time, M. le Comte, that this distrust and these recrimi-
nations :should give plTacb,ee;tlength to a sounder appreciation of
of personal feeling to the

bringing Turkey into the European system, attempts should
be nude to deprive us, not of that exclusive prepond ebrance to
whi:h we have never pretemded, but that fair sh f

.exh. Lusted the measure of moderation and compliance, :
angiAst Master might see himself compelled to replace himself
in tile position which he occupied before he made his first pro-
positions, and nothing would remain for his Majesty but calmly
to wait for events, taking no counsel, for the ordering of them,
but of attention to his own dignity and to the interests of his
empire.
So, then, if Western Europe go on suspecting
the immaculacy of Russia's respect for the faith
of treaties, she will realize their suspicions by
pouncing upon unfortunate Turkey ! NICHOLAS
is not to be called the NEno of the North with

and character—if he continue in the command

of Prince ALBERT'S regiment, polluting the
very throne itself— the world, the foreign
world--the world without our prejudices—
will justly say that all our respect for
humanity all our regard for decency all
our sympathy for one another—all our devotion
to her MAJESTY, and our honour of the military
services—all our reverence for religion—are
mere hollow pretences, practical and audacious
falsehoods, and that we are the most hypocri-
tical people that ever lived. For the sake of the
national character, Lord CARDIGAN must, from
this time forward, never be heard of but in
exile or obscurity.

impunity. Call him a devil, and he will wreak
upon his nearest neighbour all the malicious fury
of one. So, then, an Invasion Of Turkey can at
any time be excused by a reference to the suspi-
cions that may be entertained of the amicable-
ness of Russia's intentions by the Governments
of France or England ! This is a startling doc-
trine to advance in the middle of the nineteenth
century. But it is worthy of the quarter whence
it emanates. We have not done with these papers.

The extraordinary express received from Paris
yesterday, and published in the afternoon edi-
tion of The Sun, contained the latest news from
French Africa and Spain, found in Monday's
papers, which have reached us by the ordinary
Post-office conveyance. We shall therefore con-
fine ourselves to-day to the quotation of such pa-
ragraphs in the French Journals as we deem of
ge.leral interest.
FUNERAL OF NAPOLEON.—We learn by the report of the
Minister, which accompanies the bill for a supplementary credit
for the expenses of the funeral of Napoleon, that they have ex-
ceeded by 800,000 f. the million voted by the Chambers. The
expense of the removal of the remains from St. Helena to
Paris was 197,652f.' the preparatory works for the ceremony of
the funeral amounted to 1.352,809 f., and the construction of
the temporary tomb, striking of medals, &c., cost 242,060 f.
The amount required by the Minister for the erection of the
permanent tomb is 500,000•., and the execution of it is to be
awarded after a public competition of artists.— Gni/gni:mi.
FRENCH AND AMERICAN COMMERCE.—The American
statesmen who propose taxing French manufactures imagine
certain wrongs done to America by France. According to
them, America is the victim of the injustice of the French
Custom-house. The duty upon cotton imported from the
United States had been lowered to 20f. per 100 kilogr.,
whilst the cotton from other parts remained fixed at 25f.
and 30f. Under this law the importation of cotton from Ame-
rica has risen from 7,659,400 kilogr. to 43,780,000 kilogr.,
and has thus increased in the proportion of I to 6 ; it re-
presents 87 per 100 of our total exportation ; yet the
Americans pretend that their cotton is unjusty trewed
by the cotton of Egypt paying 5 f.ancs prr 100 kilo-
grammes less on importation. They have also discovered that
the French entertained the most sinister designs against
North America with respect to the tobacco bought
by us in the United States, in such an increasing quantity that
from 1828 to 1838 the importation of the tobacco of the Union
.nto
'France had increased-six-fold. The rice of South Caro-
rina pays but 2if., whilst that of Piedmont pays 6f., and still
the Americans complain of our partiality against them. If any
interest at all is sacrificed in the commercial treaty between
France and the United States, it is ours, because since the con-
vention of 1822 the Americans have the monopoly of the navi-
;ation between the two countries. In this rapid motion of
exchange, the French shipping only plays a miserable part.
In 1818, our share was about one-third ; since 1822, our share
fus only been of 12 or 13 hundredths; and 1837 was thought
a miraculous year, when our share was one-sixth.--Journa
des Debats.
A letter from Alexandria, 27th ult., in the Commerce, states
that 10,000 sailors, who had been landed ton ork in various
villages, had been ordered to go again on board the vessels of
war in the harbour, and that five 60-gun frigates had been put
on the stocks. Great activity prevailed in pushing on the
works of the new dock, which had been suspended. Rein-
forcements of troops continued to arrive from Cairo and the
interior, and were stationed in the camp of Alahmudieh ; but
as the plague existed among them a sanatory cordon of National
Guards was drawn round the place. Soliman Puha was ex-
pected from Cairo, and was to have the command of all
troops in Lower Egypt.
The Quotidiennc announces that M. de Villas, who has
long fixed his residence in the environs of Toulouse, has ar-
rived
at Paris.

Nothing is yet decided respecting the promotions in the
Legion of Honour, whi,:h are to be made on the Ist of May.
It is affirmed, however, that it has been resolved that no deco-
ration shall be given this year to the functionaries of the Cen-
ral Board; but it is believed that there will be numerous ex-
ceptions to this rule.
It has also been resolved in the Council of Ministers that,
cen•idering the advanced period of the Session, no new project
of law shall be presented. M. Martin (du Nord) is not sorry
for this declaration, which will enable him to put off till the
next Session the modifications of the law respecting the Office
of Notary. But the reclamations which are made in all quar-
ters are so pressing that the Keeper of the Seals may find him-
self morally obliged to lay before the :;hamber, in a few days,
the project of la K drawn up by the Council of State.—Le
Temps.

Tlie Quotidienne, after repeating what we (the Commerce)
said a few days ago of the manner in which the Ministers
mean to obey the law on the fortifications, as regards the
simultaneoas'eXecution of the continuous enclosure and of the
forts, adds :—" We are able to' give the Commerce the assur-
ance that it is not mistaken. A conversation, which has been
faithfully reported to us, will make it acquainted with the im-
mutable programme of the execution of the law of bastiles.
A courtier said to a person who has great influence in the
Camarillo, and in the Administration. " It is not possible that
you should have money enough to erect the advanced forts and
the continuous wall." " Assuredly not," was the answer ; " but
we want only the forts, and the millions voted by the Chimbers
will be sufficient for them." " And when you shall be asked,
What you have done with the continuous wall ?'—" 011;we dun't
mean that thit part of the law shall be absolutely a dead letter.
We shall erect some portions of the wall, here and there, at
points where they may be useful to us ; but, at the same time,
the continuation of the fort will be prosecuted with vigour.
Then, when they are promised, we shall propose to the Cham-
ber to vote us two or three hundred millions, rather more than
less. 'f he Chambers will be frightened and the millions will
be refused. Then it will not be our fault. We shall have
Maid due regard to every point, even to the simultaneous exe-
cution. Ask Souls!"—Le Commerce.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following
letter from Constantinople on the subject of the
change in the Turkish Cabinet:—
" CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 29.—This morning a COM-
missary of the Ottoman Porte presented himself at the resi-
dence of Reschid Pacha, and demanded the decoration of the
Mschar, which the Sultan had delivered to him a few days
before. He also informed him that he was no longer Mi-
nister, and that he had been succeeded by Rifaat Bey. The
people of the Seraglio think that this nomination is an addi-
tional guarantee for the pacific soluticn of the'Eastern question.
Tahir Pacha, who is now Capitan Pacha, is the best naval offi-
cer Turkey possesses,and the English themselves have borne tes-
timony to his high qualties. It is hence inferred by other per-
sons that the Sultan is hostile to Mehemet Ali, and that he
has nominated to the head of the navy so distinguished a man,
in order to be able to act, if necessary, with vigour against
the Pacha. If the Ottoman Porte does not display as much
condescension for Mehemet Ali as certain Powers seem to ex-
pect, the rep: esentation of the July Treaty will be dissolved, as
it is said the London Conference has already dissolved itself;
but, on the other hand, well-informed persons count on the
Sultan's condescension towards Mehemet Ali."
The same Journal publishes the annexed let-
ter from the Turkish frontiers, dated the sth cf
April : • .

" It was predicted with truth that the recent marks of di
tinction conferred by the Sultan on Reschid Pacha would be
only signals of disgrace. The Sultan has been unable to resist
the united efforts of the enemies of that Minister, backed by
the Ambassadors of England and Russia. It was, however,
quite against his own individual wishes that, on the 28th ult.,
his Highness resolved on dismissing Reschid Pacha, who but
lately appeared indispensable, and on replacing him by R fast.
Bey, a man of probity, and a friend of the laws, but inferioi
to his predeces- or in an administrative capacity. It is evi-
dent that this resolution concerning the Ministry is the work
of the party which obstinately refuses all kind of concession
to Mehemet Ali : and it would certainly have never been
carried into effect if the Sultan could have continued his re-
sistance until the arrival of fresh instructions from London
for the Ambassadors. It would be erroneous, however, to infer
that this change of Ministei s will have the effect of compli-
cating the Turko-Egyptian question, since no Ministry would
venture to oppose the opinions of all Europe. It is possible
that on the arrival of instructions, expected for the 4th to the
Bth instant, a modification of the new Cabinet may take place,
or that Lord Ponsonby may be recalktd."

The writers of theze letters manifestly know
very little of what they write about. The Bri-
tish Ambassador, so far from intriguing to effect
the downfal of RESCIIID PACHA, was that Mi-

ister's most strenuous supporter. The most

powerful opponent of RESCIIID was Baron
STVRMER, the Austrian Internuncio, who was lat-
terly supported by the Russian Ambassador.
Nor does the change in the Cabinet indicate on
the part of the SULTAN any design adverse to
MEHEMET ALI, but the contrary. RIFAAT
Bay, before taking office, even pledged him-
self, to the Austrian Internuncio, to prevail
upon the SULTAN to concede to the VICEROY the

hereditary government of Egypt in the direct
line, and to modify all the other articles in the
Firman, to which the VICEROY had raised objec-

dons. But as soon as the Egyptian question 'is
entirely arranged by the Porte, we shall expect
to hear of RESCIIID PAcnA's honourable restora-

on to office. He is certainly one of the most

liberal and enlightened men in the Ottoman
E npire ; and but fin- his participation in Lord
PONSONEY'S prejudices against the VICEROY, his
pr2sent retirement f'rom office would be, in

'turkey, a national calamity.

We are afraid the and Mr. Fox
Maine, the patrons of the non-intrusionists, are

too powerful for Lord Normanby, else why
should the Under-Secretary last evening have
declined to give a decisive answer to Sir George
Sinclair, respecting the appointment to the chair
of Biblical Criticism in the University of Edin-
burgh ? Are they still determined to force on the
Government a man who has repeatedly denounced
the Supreme Civil Court in Scotland, and sets its
edicts at defiance ? Lord Normanby stated in
the House of Lords, that the moment he heard
Mr. Candlish was guilty of such proceedings he
," put an end to all communication with him on
the subject." We trust his Lordship is possessed
of sufficient firmness to adhere to this resolution,
and that the friends of decency and order in
Scotland will not be insulted by the promotion
of a churchman, who, like Newman, Pusey, and
Co., claims to himself and party divine authority,
and is prepared on that plea to trample upon the
laws of the land.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
SMITH V. BODKIN. —A LEGAL MICE AKE.
Mr. WHirExu RFT moved in this case for a rule to show
cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside,
and a new trial had. It was an action upon a warranty of a
horse, which was tried before Mr. Justice Matteson, at the Lei-
cester Assizes, and the Jury found for the plaintiff, damages
22/. 14s. 6d. There were the usual counts for a breach of
contract, and the defendant pleaded non assumpsit, and to the
two other pleas ratification after the breach ; What the mean-
ing of these heals was
,he (Mr. Whitehurst) realty could not
tell. There were a number of witnesses briefed to him, awl
who were in atte..dance at the trial, to prove that the horse was
sound, but. that not being pl. ailed, he could not produce them,
so t'at it was in reality an undefended ca!tse. The plaintiff
merely produced the written warranty, and the only question
upon ,hich the defendant's Counsel could address the Jury was
as to the amount of the damages. 'll,e Learned Counsel was
proceeding to state what had occurred between the defendant's
attomeyand the pleader, wh-n he was interrupted by
Lord DENMAN, who said, I think we ought not to hear
anything of what occurred between the attorney and the
pleader. It is clear there must have. been a mistake somewh,re.
Mr. WHITEHUR, T said there evidently was a mistake to the
detriment of the defendant, who, if he optained a rule for a
new trial, would be able to make a good &fence to the action.
Lord DENMAN—I think there ought to he an end to the
litigation: It would be a cruel mercy to the defendant to give
him an opportunity at enormous cost to raise this question
again.—ltule refused.

TOUNE V. STOREY.
This was an action for slander tried before Lord Denman at
the last Middlesex sittings, wlrn a verdict was had for the
-
plaintiff, damages 751. 'l he plaintiff was a cocoa and choco-
late manufacturer, and the words were alleged to have been
used by the defendant in a quarter where he was likely to be
injured in his business.
Sir F. Por.nocs now moved for a rule to show cause why
the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the
ground of the damages being exce,sive. The Learned Coun-
sel proceeded to detail the facts of the case as they appeared
at the trial, and contended that there was no ground for saying
that the plaintiff had suffered any material injury in his business.
Lord DENAIAN said the Court would say nothing at present
as to granting the rule, but they would throw out a surges
tion that perhaps the plaintiff might think it advisable to ac-
cept a verdict for 251., and the case might be mentioned to
them again in three or four days.
EGAN V. THE GUARDIANS OF THE POOR OF THE KENS-
INGTON UNION.
Sir F. PoLLocx moved in this case for a rule to show
cause why the verdict fur the defendants should not be set
aside, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff, for so many days
of employment as the Court might think him entitled to. The
case was tried before Lord Denman, at the sittings after last
term. It was an action brought by a barrister against the de-
fendants, to recover the balance of his claim against them for
having acted as returning officer at the election of Poor-law
Guardians for the Kensington Union. The defendants had
paid Mr. Egan two hundred guineas, and had paid 50/. into
Court, and the question was, whether he was entitled to receive
any sum over that 2601. By the direction of the Poor-law
Commissioners the Guardians selected a barrister to act as re-
turning officer, and the rate of remuneration was fixed at five
guineas a day. The plaintiff had been employed for seventy-
two days and eighteen nights, the pressure of business being so
great that he was compelled to deny himself ordinary rest, and
cork day and night. It was contended, in the first place, that
Mr. Egan, being a barrister acting for fee, was not entitled to
recover, but the Learned Judge over-ruled that objection.
Next it was urged that Mr. Egan, having been employed at
fine guineas a day, was not entitled to receive any thing for the
extra work he performed at night, although it was given in
evidence that several of the persons who had worked with him
day and night had been paid double the rate of remu-
neration, agreed upon. Now he submitted, that an
agreement for five guinea% a day must be subject to some
reasonable limitation, and that if a party chose to draw upon
his resources for the following month or two, or
,upon his con-
stitution for years afterwards, and sat up night:after night, he
was entitled to some additional remuneration. The defendants,
when employing Mr.' Egan at five guineas a-day, must be un-
dentood to have contemplated the usual working hours, but
the present could not be considered in any other light than the
case of any ordinary workman who, being paid so much a-day,
had a right to make a charge and be paid for extra hours. It
was urged further that Mr. Egan had been at work from the
13th of March, but the order of the Commissioners not hav-
ing come into operation till the 18th, he was not entitled to
payment for these five days, but he submitted that the work
having been done by order of the guardians, they could no'
now refuse payment on such a plea.
The COURT thought the plaintiff was entitled to the rule.

EXCHEQUER...4T ti IS DAY.)
STEIL V. 31UNDELL.
Mr. DUNDAS moved fur a rule nisi to set aside the verdict
for the plaintiff in this case, and for a hew trial, on the groul,d
of the improper rejection of a witness by Mr. Baron Rolfe,
who tried the cause at the late Assizes held at Liverpool.
The action was brought for the balance due for the building
of a ship, and extras. By the contract the ship was to he
built in such a manner as at the end of twelve years to stand
A I at Lloyd's. In order to show that she was
not so built the defendant proposed to call the cap-
lain who had sailed the ship, but he being examined on
the voir dire said, although he was not a co-contractor with
the defendant, he, while the ship was building, became a part
owner of the ship. Upon that admission the Leatned Judge
.Fejeeted hiin as a' witness. The defendant had not offered the
captain a release.
The CouaT thought the Learned Judge hal acted rightly,
and the rule was refused.

MOLT v. HoLLINGs.
This was an action to recover the sum of /,000/. It also
was tried before 11r. Baron Rolfe at the Liverpool Assizes,
when a verdict was found for the defendant.
Mr. KNOWLES now moved for a rule nisi for a new trial.
It appeared that the defendant had been in partnership with a
person named Booth. The partnership was dissolved on a
Monday, the sum in question was borrowed on the following
Friday, in order to pay a partnership debt. The money was
borrowed by Booth, who was now out of the way,but as he had
proved that the money had been applied to the payment of a
debt for which the defendant was liable, he contended the
Jury had taken a wrong view of his liability for the 1,0001.
i he COURT considered the case was'one peculiarly for the
consideration of the Jury, and did not think there were any
circumstances in the case to justify them in disturbing the
verdict.

LVENT COURT.-THIS DAY.

IN RE ROSS.
The Insolvent had been out on bail, and applied for his
discharge under the Act.
In reply to Mr. COOKE, who appeared in opposition on the
part of Messrs. Dixon, who held a bill of exchange for 20/.,
accepted by the insolvent and endorsed to Messr.. Wingfield,
carpet manufacturers, of Bishopsgate-street, he stated, that he
had been in partnership with his wife's nephew as a tobac-
conist, and in March, 1840, purchased carpets to the amount
of 191., from Messrs. Wingfield, for which he passed
the acceptance forming the ground of the present
opposition, payable in one month. He had been unable since
to take it up, or pay any portion of it. In 1839 had executed
a warrant of attorney for 2001. in favour of his father-in-law,
Mr. Thomas Turner, a gentleman who held a situation in the
Custom-house, and who has since seized upon all his sock and
furniture—even the carpets bought from Mr. Wingfield were
removed to his ( Mr. Turner's) house in Camberwell. The de-
taining creditor was Thos. Turner, junior, the insolvent's bro-
ther-in-law, to whom he was indebted only in the sum of 3/.
This was his third application to the Court to be discharged.
He first applied in 1835, when his debts were 800/.
Mr. TAYLOR, a Solicitor, stated to the Court that he sued
the insclvent on the bill of exchange, and in consequence of
vexatious opposition, costs to the amount of 28/ were accumu-
lated on the action.

Criss,-examined by Mr. WOODRUFFE—He caused the venire
of the suit to be laid in Herefordshire, as the Courts in London
were not sitting, and he was anxious to expedite the execu-
tion. In consequnice of changing the venire there was an
increase of expense.
The Insolvent's father•-in-law and other witnesses hal;ing
been examined; the Court adjourned the further hearing of the
ca'e for the appearance of the detaining creditor.

GUILITHALL-(THISDAY).
CAUTION TO TRADESMEN. —Eliza Harris, a young wo-
man, about 25 years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr.
Alderman Mac NAY, charged with endeavouring to pass base
coin in the following ingenious manner :
Mr. Lewis Langdon, stationer, of No. 46, Newgate_street,
stated that the prisoner came into his shop and asked for a six-
penny bottle of ink, with which she was served, and gave half-
a-crown in papnent, out of which she got two shil-
lings change. She then asked if it would mark li-
nen, to which he replied in the negative ; and she
said if that were the case, it was no use to her, laid
down 2s.- and requested to have the half-crown back.
Having been served a similar trick the day before, he took up
one of the shilling pieces, and found it to be counterfeit, upon
which the prisoner immediately snatched it from his hand and
swallowed it.

She was remanded to Saturday to have the attendance of Mr.
Pow ell, the S3licitor to the Mint.
Three men named Homes, Roberts, end Clements, were
charged with robbing their employer, Mr.ffilliam John Roper,
iron and brass founder on Snow-hill.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was in the
habit of buying large quantities of casks, and Clements, who
was a cooper, used to supply him. When a dozen of casxs
would be delivered to the other two prisoners at the stores in
Blacklong-alley, two, or perhaps three, would be returned, and
again sold at the premises on Snow-hill. The prisoners were
remanded to Friday.

ARLBORO UGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Hings, a very fashionably-dressed young man, was
placed at the bar hefore Mr. DYER, on the following charge :
Police constable No. 69, of the C division, stated that about
eight o'clock last evening as he was on duty in Leicester-
square he heard the cry of " Stop thief !" and saw the prisoner
running at his utmost speed, pursued by a gentleman. As the
prisoner was 'uniting he threw away a silk pocket handkerchief,
which the gentleman picked up. Witness came up with the
prisoner in Orange-street, and secured and took him back to
the gentleman, who stated that he had de ected the pri:oner in
the act of taking the handkerchief out of his pocket, but de-
clined to proceed further in the matter.
Prisoner (with much effrontery)—As the gentlemen knew
it was a false charge he is afraid to appear against me. I shall
seek my remedy against him.
Mr. DYER asked if any person present in the Court could
testify as to the prisoner being a common thief?—lnspector
Baker, of the C division, stated that he had known the pri-
soner for many years as a reputed thief ; he had frequently
been convicted, and was discharged from this office only on
Saturday last, on a similar charge, through insufficiency of
evidence.

Mr. fivEn—Under these circumstances I shall commit the
prisoner, under the Police Act, f .r three months to hard labour
at the New Westminster Bridewell.

The Earl and Countess of Carlisle, and Lady
Mary Howard, left town on Monday fur Roebampton,
where Lady Dover and family arrived the same day,
