Mr. Laing was heard for the Warwick and Worcester
Canal Company ; Mr. Self, for the iron-masters ; and Mr.
Talbot and Mr. Cockburn for the promoters of the railway.
The Committe gave an undertaking to Mr. Hope, who ap-
peared for the Hampton and Ashchurch Railway; that the
present-Bill should not be read a third time in the House till
the other could be introduced along with it, unless such delay
were caused as to make it impossible for either to pass during
the present session.

The clauses of the Bill were then gone into and passed.
This concluded the labours of the Committee.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES and a Special Jury.)
FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—ASIIURST V. TOLMEJ.

This was an action to recover damages for false imprison-
ment.

Sergeant WILKINS stated the case. He said that the
plaintiff, Mr. William Henry Ashurst, was a gentleman of
great respectability, and well known in this city, and the
defendant is a teacher of music. He (the Learned Counsel)
had been many years in the profession to which he belonged,
and actively engaged in it, and he would say that he never
knew of a more wanton outrage of the feelings inflicted on
any. man than had been inflicted by the defendant on the
plaintiff, and he- thought the jury would be of the same
opinion when they heard the details.. It was extraordinary,
too, that the defendant had not only not pleaded, by which be
admitted his liability to pay damages for the unjustifiable
imprisonment the plaintiff had been subjected to, but did
not now appear in person or by Counsel, to justify his act
or mitigate the damage, but appeared to set,
the law at defiance without apology or extenuation.
The facts of the case were these :—On the 6th of March
between ten and eleven o'clock, the plaintiff was going to
Tavistock-square, in his carriage, from the Hanover-square
Rooms, and when turning out of Regent-street, at the corner
of Oxford-street, the defendant drove up at a rapid pace in
a gig, and to avoid collision defendant was compelled to
draw up his horse so tight that the shafts were broken. De-
fendant then got out of his gig, and after plaintiff had given
his address, and several persons in the crowd had said they
knew him very well, the defendant called a policeman, and
gave the plaintiff into custody on a charge of wilfully
damaging his gig, and although the constable also said
he knew the plaintiff as a highly respectable man,
the defendant insisted on his being taken to the
station-house. The plaintiff refused to go unless
actually taken into custody, which defendant, against the
remonstrance of plaintiff and the people about, insisted on,
and he was then taken away, obliged to leave his two
daughters in the carriage unprotected, and suffering from the
alarm naturally felt .under such circuirstances. The plain-
tiff was, however, set at liberty when the inspector heard
the case.

The Learned Counsel called evidence, bearing out his
statement.

The SECONDARY summed up, and raid the plaintiff was
well known, he was a man of eminence in his profession.
The defendant had admitted his responsibility, and had evi-
dently acted very rashly. in refusing to take the plaintiff's
address when so strongly corroborated. It was for the jury
to consider what was a sufficient damage, and they ought
not to allow their feelings to be carried away beyond the
bounds of moderation.

The jury consulted for ten minutes, and gave a verdict
for 51.

Sergeant WILKINs—Do I understand right-51. ?
The SEcownanv—That is the amount, I believe.
The Foreman—Yes, 5/.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Ellen Davis, a young and good-looking female, respectably
dressed, was charged with uttering a counterfeit half-
sovereign under the following circumstances :—Between five
and six o'clock yesterday afternoon, the prisoner entered the
shop of Mr. Karl Ireson, of No. 1, Conduit-street, Regent-
street, perfumer and hair-dresser, and asked for a bottle of
the very best Eau de Cologne. One was handed to her, and
she placed a good sovereign on the counter to pay for it.
She then said she would take two bottles ; they were handed
to her, and also the change for the sovereign she had put
down, viz., a half sovereign, and three shillings in silver.
She demurred to the low price charged for the
Eau de Cologne, stating that the nobleman's family
she was residing with had invariably paid ss. per bottle for
it, even when residing at Dover. She afterwards told the
prosecutor that she was directed by her mistress, Lady Hare-
wood, of Harewood-place, Hanover-square, to request
him to attend there to dress " two of the young ladies," and
added that perhaps he had better make up a packet of three
bottles of Eau de Cologne, with a bill, and take them with
him when he went to Harewood House. She then put
down apparently the change Mr. Ireson had given her, re-
questing that the sovereign she had paid might be returned
to her. - Mr. Ireson, however, discovered that she had ma-
naged to substitute a spurious half-sovereign for the good one
he had given her. He directly challenged her
with the fact, but she denied it, professing
to be extremely indignant at his making such an accusa-
tion against her. Mr. Ireson felt confident he was right,
and sending for a police constable gave her into custody. He
had since ascertained that the whole of her statements re-
garding Lady Harewood was a fabrication. On her being
searched at the station-house the good half sovereign Mr.
Ireson had given her was -not found. She is supposed to
have swallowed it, as she was seen to put something into her
mouth. She refused to give any account of herself, and was
remanded until Thursday next.

street, who committed suicide. Lord Marcus Hill accom-
panied the coroner and jury to view the body, which was
lying in the pantry of his Lordship's house. Robert Sawyer,
footman of Lord Marcus Hill, said that at eleven o'clock on
Thursday night he had a glass of beer with the deceased,
who appeared unusually desponding; at eight o'clock yes-
terday morning he went to call the deceased, but received
no answer; he went away,.and returned in a few minutes.
He then opened the door, and found him with his throat cut
and quite dead. Lord Marcus Hill asked if he had been
speculating in the races ?—The witness replied it was only to
a trifling extent. Lord Marcus Hill was examined, and de-
posed that ho wa.s alarmed in the morning by his footman
telling him that the deceased had cut his head off. He had
observed nothing in his manner to call for notice, and he
was a good and honest servant. Verdict—" Temporary in-
sanity.

FUNERAL OF LORD GLENLEE.—The funeral obsequies
of the late venerable Sir William Miller, Bart., of Glenlee,
took place on Tuesday. From the universal esteem in which
his Lordship was held by the surrounding gentry, and the
paternal and friendly character which he ever sustained
towards his tenantry, the attendance was vast, all anxious
to bestow the last melancholy tribute of respect on one who
had so endeared himself while living. The procession
started from Barekimming House at two o'clock P.M. The
cavalcade, extending to about a quarter of a mile, proceeded
by the direct road to Stair Churchyarka distance of three
miles. At every turn of the way it was joined by crowds of
eager spectators, who, before reaching the burying-ground,
• had accumulated to a vast concourse. On arriving at the
churchyard gate the hearse and two carriages drove into a
wide avenue leading from the road, while the undertaker, to
preserve order, caused the remainder of the carriages to pass
on, the occupants alighting from them as they approached
the gate. Those who had left the carriages then joined with
the crowd on foot, and formed two lines from this point to the
vault, between which the coffin, followed by the relatives,

DOWNFAL OF THE COSTA CABRAL

MINISTRY.
GENERAL INSURRECTION.

We have received most important intelligence from
Portugal, announcing 'the downfal of the Cabral Mi-
nistry, and a general insurrection throughout the
country. Public excitement was at its greatest height,
and all classes were in consternation and alarm. Count
Villa de Real was sent for by the Queen to form a Mi-
nistry, but in which he failed. The Duke de Palmella
was then commissioned to undertake the arduous and
responsible duty, but had not succeeded when these ac-
counts came away : however, he had not abandoned the
hope of accomplishing the important object.
LISBON, MAY 19.-Every coming moment is so fraught
with interest, that I think it is as well to begin at once
noting down the occurrences which have taken place hitherto,
in order to have more time for the narration of whatever
may turn up between this and the closing of the mail at
eight, A.m., to-morrow.
The tenor of my letter of the 10th inst. must in some
degree have prepared your readers for the announcement I
have now to make, which is nothing less than the downfal
of the Costa Cabral Ministry I the shadow' of this approach-
ing event had been perceptible for some days before ; for al-
though the official journals daily announced the defeat and
disperson of the insurgents, facts had come to light which
plainly showed that the insurrection, on the contrary,. must
'have been gaining ground. It was known that young Villa
Real, a son of Count Villa Real, had put himself at the head
of a large body of armed peasants, and taken possession of
the town of Villa Real, in the province of Tras os Montez,
whence his father's title is derived • that another body of
malcontents had surprised and disarmed a strong detachment
of troops at Amarante, and, by making themselves masters
of the bridge over the Douro, at that town, had opened a
communication with the Minho insurgents ; and that the
movement had extended through other parts of Tras os
Montez. Besides which, the progress of the insurrection, and
the alarm with which it was viewed by the Government, were
indirectly acknowledged in a royal order which ap-
peared in the course of the week in the Diario,
stating, that as it was necessary to recruit the
ranks of the army immediately, a bounty of one
moidore (about 235.) would be given to every discharged
soldier who volunteered to rejoin his regiment and serve for
six months longer, and an allowance of one vinten a day
extra pay, to every soldier who having a right to his dis-
charge should forego it for the same period. Notwithstand-
ing all this, the Lisbon public was completely taken by sur-
prise, when, on Sunday morning the Oporto steamer came
over the bar, having on board, evidently as a runaway, tha.
Minister of Justice, M. Jose Cabral, the very individual who
so shortly before has been sent to that city armed with the
most ample and unrestricted dictatorial authority. As the
Government has been in sole possession of all the channels of
information, and few, if any, private letters containing poli-
tical intelligence have been allowed to reach their address, it
is very difficult to come at the exact truth of what has been
going forward in the provinces. As far, however, as I have
been able to learn, it appears that the flame of in-
surrection spread rapidly from the Minho all over Tree
os Montez, in which latter province alone about eight
thousand men were in arms, under the direction of a junta
composed of the most influential of its proprietors, ill-
eluding young Villa Real, and that the commander of the
military division, Viscount Vinhaes, seeing the formidable,
array, and observing an evident disinclination on. the part; al
his soldiers to act against the people, entered into negotia-
tions with the junta, the result of which was an agreemen.t
to a suspension of hostilities for six days, to await the Queoal
answer to the demands of the insurgents, which were--the
dismissal of the Costa Cabral Ministry, and 'the repeal of all
taxes upon labour. On receipt of this unwelcome intent~
Bence, and perceiving unequivocal symptoms of a revulsion el
popular feeling against him is the city of Oporto, M. Jove
Cabral thought. it prudent to make a precipitate retreal
and the "Duque do Porto" having been kept in readizose
with her steam up, he stole qui,tly on board during the night,
and when daylight came the redoubtable Dictator vots
non inventus. This step, on his part, it is said, was acce-
lerated by the . receipt of communications from the ot'aer
military commanders under his orders, all of which eor
curred in showing that the soldiers, sympathising with tue
peciple in the sufferings which had driven them into insur-
rection, were not disposed to act against them, especially as
the detachment of troops which had been surprised and tue
armed at different places, had been kindly treated, and dis-
missed without personal injury or even the slightest re-
proach. In a few hours after the arrival of J. Cabral In
this city, a council of Ministers was held, at which it Ives
resolved that they should tender their resignation*
not only on account of what I have stated above, but e-
wise because intelligence equally alarming had meanwhile
ea
been received from other quarters, the people having

ing and disarming the troops there stationed, and a

moment expected. On the following day (yesterday)
Costa Cabral went to the Chamber of Deputies,
where

office. At the Chamber of Peers a similar announcement
was made by Count Villa Real, who stated that it was We,
wish to form a mixed administraLion composed of men of
different parties, but that he saw much difficulty in the
way of its accomplishment. Thus matters stand at present.
The general opinion is, that Villa Real will not succeed in
his undertaking; or, should he be successful, such a Cabinet
as he will be disposed to form till not satisfy the demands
of the people, nor tend in the least to quell insurrectioti-
The great evil from which the population of Portugal are
striving to free themselves, is the burden of taxation whit
has been imposed upon them for the purpose of paying we
interest on the enormous debt contracted in settling the Pre-
sent dynasty on the throne; and as under any Ministry de
termined to keep faith with the public creditors, the necessity
for this burden must continue to exist, there will probabq
be no peace in the country, now that the people have beg'a.
to know their own strength, until the lead is lightened DY

MAY 20.-By an order from Lord Howard de Walden, the
packet, which was to have started at eight A.M., has Dtw"
detained till four o'clock this evening.
Count Villa Real having failed in his attempt to font:
new Administration, the Queen sent yesterday for the D xaf
of Palmella, who being at his country residence on the so Oa
of the Tagus, did not arrive in town till late in the afternoor!•
He has undertaken the task, but as yet nothing positive
known as to the result of his endeavours. M. A. de Car-
valho is spoken of as the person most likely to take the
Finance Department, and Fonseca Magalhaes that of Fo-
reign Affairs. The Duke, it is said, wishes to form a coalition
Cabinet of Chartists and Septembrists, and has made over:
tures to two of the latter party, Viscount Sada Bandeira and
Silva Sanches. This, however, is only one out of a multitude
of reports afloat; but I hope before the mail closes to be able
to ascertain the real fact. One thing which seems very Prn-
bable, however, is that whatever Ministry Palmello maY,
contrive to form will be of very short duration. The present
movement is not the mere striving of one faction agains,
another great nion uprising against oppreision!
and the multitudes now in arms, will not allow theinselve::
to be cajoled into submission by the substitution of one s_e_l;
of men for another. Depend upon it, a thorough revoluti.e"
is at hand, and the charter which Costa Cabral restoredye
a military coup de main four years ago, will soon have
to give way once more to the popular constitution of 11°.'„1
or to some other constitution yet to be made. The Satiow•ro,
Guard will again be set up, and the foreign debt will be €211;

Affairs.
Mr. Benton, of Missouri, suggested a division of the
message ; that one part was appropriate to the one com-
mittee named, and another part to the other. The de-
fence against hostilities t;hould be referred to the Com-
mittee on Military Affairs ; that of carrying on war
against Mexico to that on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Allen and Mr. Sev oreier both concurred in this

view.
, that they
Mr. Cass took the same -view, and made a seech com-

Mr. Calhoun approved of the

• The message appeared in our yesgerday's impression.

There is a considerable portion of the democratic
party is the northern States who, so far from being in
favour of a tariff for revenue alone, in other words, of
free-trade measures, are opposed to them and wish to
retain the present tariff, with its exorbitant rates of
duties. The whole of the southern and western
democracy, however, are in favour of free trade. The
northern democracy,. however, are preeminent in
intrigue, and Mr. Polk himself has always had fraternal
relations with that section of the party, and, it is believed,
did not wish to disoblige and offend them by pressing
with all the weight of Executive influence (which, if
heartily exerted, is almost omnipotent here) the repeal
of the tariff of 1842. He knew, however, that if the
southern democracy once believed.he had betrayed them
on this point, they would turn upon him and bis Admi-
nistration and defeat it. Wishing, therefore, to conci-
liate the souther; men by appearing in favour of the
repeal of the tariff, it is believed he has sought to accom-
plish the ends of the northern democracy by sending
these troops first into Texas, and then to the Rio
Grande, so that at any rate heavy expenses would be
incurred, and if Mr. Slidell were not received perhaps
a war provoked, and thus reasons given to the northern
democracy for saying that they would not think of Vot-
ing for a reduction of the tariff, with such heavy and
increasing expenses, and a war either on hand or in
prospect. This is now sincerely believed by some of the
southern democracy to have been a prominent cause of
the course of action which Mr. President Polk has
thought fit to pursue in regard to Texan and Mexican
affairs, with the additional one, that if it should be, as it
was universally believed it would be, a successful war, it
would reflect glory on his Administration.
I now state, on the best authority, that there is no
Prospect of a revision of the tariff now, if this should turn
out to be a war in earnest ; and that there is but little
prospect of such a revision in the present session, even
if two or three weeks should see the relations of the
United States and Mexico peaceably settted.

Princess Alice, who started in the rear, joined the first ruck

the lead from Ohio, the Emilia filly lying behind, the latter
with the favourite,Osprey and Mowerina waiting. Ohio was

In our list of auctions to-day our feiend, George
Robins, indulges us with some of his best told tales, and they
are all lengthened beyond his usual taste. The announce-
ment of Ford Abbey exemplifies this observation; this sale
has literally caused a furor in the world of auctions; the
historical account of this extraordinary monastery Mr. Robins
takes no mean credit for—it is the handiwork we are told
of the cleverest lady throughout the county ; it will, indeed,
amply compensate for its perusal ; verily it must find a place
(ab, and keep it too) in every one's library. The interest of
the notori-us Judge Jeffreys is kept up throughout, and few
there are who are aware of the extent of his fearful rob-
beries. The drawing gives a splendid view .of the monastery
of which it is believed there is nothing like it on record. It
is 300 feet long.
INTOLERANCE IN THE ANERICAN ARMY.—The army
of the United States, under the command of General Taylor in Texas,
amounts to nearly 7,000 men, and of tills number 4,000 are Roman
Catholic?. When men ere in daily expectation of taking the field
against an enemy, and exposing their lives to the danger of death, it
may be naturally supposed that intolerance, however savage at other
times, would then relent and respect the conscientious feelings of
fellow-creatures placed in a situation so impressive. Such has not
been the fact in Texas, for the Catholics in the army in that new
state, in disregard of constitutional rights, and in defiance of their
unanimous protestation, have been forced to attend the preaching of
a Presbyterian clergyman on Sundays ! They who know the sum-

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London .Yew Price Current of May 29.)

SUGAR.—To-day buyejs of West Indian Sugar were induced to
operate with more freedom in conserauence of merchants again sub-
mitting to rather lower rates, and a good business was transacted
but chiefly by the refiners, the quantity sold amounting to 650 hhds.
REFINED.—To-day prices underwent no alteration for Refined
Goods, but the home trade operated with caution. In bonded
Crushed Sugar a large business has been transacted, and 325. per
cwt. is the value of first quality with a firm market.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Importers of Mauritius Sugar were
disposed to sell, and offered 9,286 bags 30 casks at public sale:; the
whole sold, but the rates taken were in some cases rather under
those that previously prevailed.
EAST INDIA. —For white and yellow Bengal rather lower rates
having been taken, has occasioned the demand to be good, and pri-
vately several parcels have been disposed of. The genuine Dobah
sorts are held for 50s to Ges, but there has been only a limited busi-
ness transacted by private treaty this week. Of Madras, there being
little in the market, prices remain much the mina as previously
quoted, but few purchases have been made privately, and none has
been offered at auction. Of Foreign East India prices still rule above
those of other descriptions of Sugar admissible for home consumption.
FOREIGN.—There has generally been more activity in the market
for Foreign Sugar this week, but at present little improvement has
taken place in prices.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation chiefly sold, but holders were
compelled to take previous reduced prices. Mocha is neglected, and
378 bales 252 half bales were all taken in—middling at 545, good mid-
ling green long bean 58s, good 60s, bold triage 425, black 12s 6d to
14s Gd, andgood pea berry 65s per cwt, being about the former value.
MoLAssas.—All kinds of West India have been much in demand,
and advanced rates are again paid. Bengal Treacle has been in good '
request, and prices are still rising. Honey of common quality is still
much in demand, and fetches full rates.
Cocoa.—Holders of British Plantation evince firmness, and still
refrain from offering any at auction, purchases to a lair extent have
been made privately, and full rates are given.
TEA.—Prices of the inferior sorts of Congou are rather higher than
they were in 1845 at this time ; but the better kinds are lower by
1 k,d to 2%d ; Twankay of all sorts by ld to 5d ; Hyson 5d to Is.
To day Bengal Rice met with little attention, and 3087 bags,
RICE.— -
NO pockets at auction were only in part sold at barely former rates.

of Nutmegs, and the demand being limited, the
