LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1846

In the Chamber of Deputies, on Thursday last, M.
GINZOT, in his reply to M. THIERS, after alluding to
the desire of the Government, to draw round it men
of the Legitimatist party, thus boldly exposed the mis-
taken policy of the aristocracy :—" It had been a
great misfortune for the French nobility, that they
did not know how to assume that part, in the poli-
tical interests of their country, to which they were
entitled. They had done nothing but live in the iso-
lation of their estates, or the subserviency of courts."
"And also," exclaimed M. DE LAROCHEJACQUELIN
(and well might he so exclaim), " and also,
on the field of honour." " Yes," continued
the Minister, " most nobly and most pa-
triotically. But the intelligence if the policy of
the country had always been wanting to them. It was
the middle classes that had been obliged to conquer,
step by step, all the liberties of the country—it was
to them that France owed everything !" And does
this apply only to France ? Is it not the almost uni-
versal character of aristocracy ? It is, or rather, it
was—fur all things now are changing. For years,
for ages, in all times, in all countries, every great
nation has had its exclusive class. Every great
people that have toiled and laboured, have had their
privileged few, to reap the profits—a high and
elevated minority, raised aloft, not by their
own exertions, but by the pressure from beneath.
They are like figures, whose intrinsic value is the
same, but whose power is wonderfully altered by
their position—swelling from units to millions of
millions, only by the augmentation of the ciphers by
their side. Well may' the aristocracy be interested
in the prosperity of a country—they cannot make
that prosperity, but by it they are made. However,
we do not wish now to censure, or to cavil, with the
aristocracy; our object is only to note a most re-
markable coincidence—one of those unforeseen in-
cidents, which portray so forcibly the stirring
signs of the times, which evidence so powerfully the
hourly progress of reform. While in the French
Chamber, M. GLIZOT was speaking of a nobility who
knew not how to assume their part in the interests of
their country, and to whom the intelligence of its
policy was always wanting—even while he was speak-
ing, across the water, in our own House, our nobi-
lity were assuming their fit position, were proclaim.
ing their intelligence, universal as its theme. While
the French Parliament thought of what had
been, the English (ever foremost in re-
form) showed forth what should be. While the
➢Minister was speaking, before echo had brough
across a whisper to our shore, his ideas were illus.
trated, his expectations were forestalled. Our no.

bility have not to learn their duties. No longer
anxious to dazzle by empty splendour, or control by
narrow tyranny, they have assumed a higher place
than monarch ever gave them ; tbey are ready to
co-operate with the people for the interests of all.
Like the leaves and flowers of the forest, which the
root nourishes, the "Stem Upholds—but, raised aloft,
they are not useless, they are not idly ornamental ;
they give their shelter and their fruit—so our no-
bility, supported by the people, will act earnestly and
heartily for the people's welfare. No longer, in the
words of VOLTAIRE—
" Aux murs de Westminster ou voit paraitre ensemble,
Trois pouvoirs etonnes du neeud qui les rassemble,
Les deputes du peuple, et les grands, et le roi,
Divises d'interet,reunis par la loi."
Interest now unites them more firmly than any
laws : that the good of one is the good of all has at
length been virtually acknowledged. The second
reading in the Lords was in many ways remarkable.
The debate commenced even while NI. GuizoT was
disserting on the duties of nobility, but the trium-
phant division was not recorded till the morning sun
had risen---the sun of May 29th, which nearly two
hundred years ago witnessed the restoration of the
STUARTS. In honour of that event, the day was
rendered memorable, but its fame shall be
prouder and purer far, hereafter. It shall be
remembered, as the day which saw not
alone the restoration of the worst of KINGS,
but the ultimate downfal of the most iniquitous of
laws. And in future times we shall join with the
green oak leaves which preserved a monarch, the
golden corn which shall preserve a people! While
thus in thought uniting the monarchy and the corn-

laws, we cannot but recal the frantic predictions o

some, who declared a repeal would be calculated to

destroy the aristocracy and even shake the throne!
The result is exactly opposed to those predictions.
The glorious measure now becoming law, will not
only benefit the people, but add to the privileges of
the privileged--it gives them (what they have already
gladly seized upon) an opportunity of winning popular
favour, and of stooping from their ancestral elevation
to conquer a yet higher one in their country's
history. '1 he decision of the Lords, suicidal
though some may deem it, has done more

;o strengthen the true influence of Peers

;han any royal gift or baronial extortion since

;he days of the Conqueror or King JOAN : and

so far from shaking the throne, we may safely aver
that no royal despot, or crowned conqueror, was
ever so secure, not only on the throne, but in the

affections of the people, as is our present constitutiona,

SOVEREIGN. But if the power of Princes and Peers

is placed on a firmer basis how much is that of the

people augmented and ensured? After all, this is

- -
their peculiar triumph. This year will be a me•
morable one in their annals. It is the turning point—

not so great in itself as leading to better things—the
opening wide the portals of a glorious futurity.
Some months ago the now popular Minister led the
way ; in a few days all will be over. During all this
time how concentrated has been the universal interest,
how engrossed is it even now. Every event gives
place to the great subject of the day. Even the
birth of a royal infant is scarcely thought of, while
contemplating the cradle where Free Trade, an infant
Hercules, strangles monopoly in his giant grasp
and the escape of an illustrious prisoner—one bear..
ing a name of glory—is unheeded, in the joy of a far
greater emancipation, as Industry breaks off the
fetters which have galled her for long years.

of the 246 w
The Emperor of Rums was at lav 1
23d ult. A letter from Koningsberg,
"In January last, M. Statzky, a Pole, who on the
ftb, says_
fifteen years, had been established at Christiana, ionr,tilie last
where he had obtained civil rights, passed throughilaays:
ago, he
berg, on his way to Poland. On his return, a week
' was arrested, by order of the Minister of Police, founded on
a demand of extradition by the Russian Government, which
accuses him of having taken part in the late insurrection in
Paland, and of having had relations with M. Dombrowsky,
who has fled. Immediately after the arrest of M. Statzky,
the Swedish and Norwegian Consuls, and those of France and
England (the two latter, because M Statzky had married
the daughter of a French general, born in London,) inter-
vened with the authorities in his favour. Couriers were sent
off to the Minister of Police at Berlin, and to the Ambassa-
dors of France and England, and an active interchange of
nutes ensued between the representatives of Sweden, Norway,
Great Britain, and France, and the Prussian Minister fur
Foreign Affairs. The matter has terminated, however, in
an unexpected way. M. Statzky has disappeared from the
prison in which he was confined, and it is known that he has
succeeded in reaching Stettin, from whence he will embark
for the island of Bonholtn (Denm,rk), on his way to Sweden
or Norway, where there are no treaties of extradition with
Russia."

Lisbon. The troops of the north had retired into
Oporto, and declared that they would not fight
against the people. The colonels of three regiments
of the garrison of Lisbon had made a similar decla-
ration. All commercial transactions were suspended
and the capital was in the greatest state of agitation.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL.
Our intelligence from Lisbon of the 23d ult. is
highly important.

All the towns and villages situate on the south of
the Tagus, and opposite that capital, had joined in
the insurrection.

The annual session of the Cortes was closed on that
day.

The Revolucao de Setiembre contains a royal
decree, dated the 21st, accepting the resignation of
the Cabral Administration, and another appointing
the Marquis of Palmella President of the Council
and Minister of the Interior, and Minister ad interim
of Justice and Finance ; the Marquis of Saldanha, the
Envoy of Portugal at Vienna, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and the Duke of Terceira, Minister of War,
and charged ad interim with the Foreign and Colonial
Government.

'1 he same journal publishes a proclamation of the
Queen, dated the 21st, and countersigned by the
Marquis of Palmella and the Duke cf Terceira,
announcing that the evils which the nation
complained of profoundly afflicted her royal
heart, and that the grievances of the people
should be redressed. Her Majesty then declares the
laws of public health and the new tributary system
to be abolished, and orders all restrictions to the
liberty of the press to be removed.

The Civil Governor of Lisbon had been superseded
in his post by M. Machado.

The Madrid journals of the 29th bring no news.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the general day fur petitions, Lord Langdale
was occupied during the early part of it in hearing the
same, and then proceeded with the motions, none of which
possessed any interest.

LOCKHART C. HARDY.
The arguments in this cause were resumed.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took appeal motions to-day.
COOMBE V. THE CITY OF LONDON.
This appeal motion, which stood on the paper to-day for
argument, was postponed until the appeal in the House of
Lords had been heard and decided.

NEWMAN V. KING.
This case came before the Court upon two appeal motions,
the object of one being to commit certain parties for the
breach of an injunction, and the other to show cause against
dissolving the injunction. The case occupied his Lordship
the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His Honour heard motions to-day.
WOODIN v. FIELD.
This case came before the Court upon motion, on behalf of
the defendant, for the dissolution of an injunction, restraining
him from manufacturing and telling horse-shoes of the same
construction as those for which the plaintiff had obtained a
patent.
His HONOUR, at the conclusion of the arguments, gave
judgment dissolving the injunction with costs, but giving
liberty to the plaintiff to bring such action as he might be
advised.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE HON. EAST INDIA
COMPANY V. CAPTAIN DOUGLAS.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose at the siitting of the Court
this morning, and stated that in this case he had complied with
the direction of the Court to inspect the different counts of
the indictment, with a view to ascertain which of them
there were,and how many, upon which a nolle prosequi should
be entered, and after having given the whole of their counts
the best consideration he could, he had come Ito
the determination that there were five of the counts upon
which a nolle prosequi might be entered; but, as the indict-
ment contained sixteen counts, there would still remain
eleven upon which he was clearly of opinion that he had a
right to call .ter the judgment of the Court; and he now
begged leave to say he would call for that judgment on Mon-
day next.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that that would be too
soon to call for judgment, and would not be affording him
sufficient time to ascertain whether he had not a right to
move for a new trial upon some of the other counts,
The COURT concurred with the Learned Gentleman, and
postponed the judgment until next Thursday.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BUR CIIELL
DOLMAN V. WATERS.
This was an action to recover the sum of 12/. 17s. 6d.,
under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that the
defendant had been entitled to an annuity, which he had
made over to the Commercial and General Life Assurance
Company for a debt due to them, but on his being required
to pay up, the plaintiff was engaged as an agent to dispose
of it, and he did so to General Hodgson. It was, however,
agreed between t:n plaintiff, as the agent, and the defendant,
that the latter should allow one quarter's dividend to the
purchaser for costs. On the settlement, however, the plain-
tiff paid off the lien of the Commercial and General late As-
surance Company and the rest to the defendant, not deduct-
ing the quarter's dividend as agreed, and he now sought to
recover it as money paid in error.
The UNDER- :SHERIFF said that there could not be a doubt
that the money was recoverable, and the jury gave a verdict
for the amount claimed.
ANSELL V. ATKINS.
This was an action to recover the sum of 111. 55., for goods
sold, and the defendant pleaded a set off.
The plaintiff is a carman, and the defendant a corn and
coal merchant in Islington. The proof depended on rather
singular testimony.
For the plaintiff a discharged servant of the defendant was
called, who proved that a certain quantity of straw was taken
in by him, but he could not remember any clover, coal, or
flour being sent back in return, or at any other time. On the
contrary, a discharged servant of the plaintiff's was called,
and swore that, to the best of his belief, he did not deliver
so much straw as spoken of, and he swore to deliveries of
clover, beans, &c., over a period of four months, although
the defendant in the particulars of his set-off only claimed
for during two months.
After a great deal of argument and attempted explanation,
The UNDXR-SHERIFF left the case to the jury, and they
gave a verdict for 1/. 9s. lid., being the difference between
the claim and set-off, without taking into consideration the
contradictions on either side.

they found the promoters busily engaged in making copies,
and therefore found it impossible to obtain copies.
Mr. ALEXANDER, QC., denied that the promoters had
thrown and obstructions in the way of the opponents of the
line. They were very voluminous, and the copying of them
required time.
The CHAIRMAN considered that the Committee could not
interfere, as thedocuments were in the custody of the officers
of the House of Commons, and were open to the parties.
After considerable discussion,
Mr. ALEXANDER stated that the whole of the documents
would be at liberty in the course of an hour.
The CHAIRMAN then intimated that they were ready to

ROYAL BOTANICAL SOCIETY.—The second exhibition
of plants and flowers of the above intellectual institution took
place in the society's grounds, in the Regent's-park, yester-
day afternoon. The assemblage of rank and fashion was
more than usually numerous, the number of ladies most ele-
gantly attired being perhaps greater than on any similar
occasion. The brilliancy of the day may in some measure
account for this, but there is but little doubt still more is
due to the success which was attendant upon the society's
last display. There existed one inconvenience, however,
consequent upon the great influx of patrons, which had its
origin in the inability of those entrusted with the disburse-
ment of refreshments to supply one tithe of the urgent calls
upon their sympathies. This, and the want of an efficient
system at the entrance, which needs but to be alluded to for
its remedy, were but small per contras against a very large
amount of actual instruction and refined delight. Two
military bands, now here and now there, amidst the shrub-
beries, plsyed, in a finished and careful style, several of
the most admired overtures and airs, while a large body
of police acted as a corps of direction in preventing con-
fusion. The following prizes stood most prominent
For calceolarias (amateur), Mr. Wright, gardener to the H
second
nourable Mr. Rushart, Wanstead, the first prize ;the
Kendall, of
to Mr. Gaines, nurseryman, Battersea. Mr.
Stoke Newington, carried away the prize
Mr. Cock, of Chiswick, was equallyfortuate in h
of pelargoriums. In the latterand other for fuchsias, and
geraniums, io seieclrn
d and was followed close
Mr.
Gaines, of Battersea, again
by Mr. Parker, of Roeharnptexcellewho likewise became a prize-
holder. The roses were especially attractive, and reflected
great credit on the successful competitors: Messrs. Lane and
Sons, Berkhampstead ; Mr. Francis, of Hertford; and Mr.
Bettridge, Milton-hill, Bucks. Mr. Green, the gardener to
Sir Edward Antrobtv, Bart., of Cheam, obtained the first
distinction for the azalias grown by him; and Mr. Mylam,
gardener to S. Rucker, of Wandsworth, the same for his col-
leci ion of orchidareas, ha which honour Mr. Rae, gardener to
J. U. Bland, of Streatham, in part shared. The cape heath,
which appear year ty year to acquire greater beauty, were
abundant, but the finest of them were those of Mr. Ryle, the
gardener of Miss Trail], of Bromley, who deservedly took the
first place. There were likewise a whole catalogue of other
floral excellencies, the extent of which alone precludes a
more lengthy notice,.
