MARTIN V. WELSTEAD.

The further arguments in this appeal occupied the
Court the remainder of the morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

RICE V. GORDON.- JUDGMENT.

The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment to-day
in this case, which was argued before him in January
last. The suit was instituted by the plaintiff, to obtain
back from the defendants two promissory notes, dated in
December, 18.10, for 1,000/ each, and to be indemnified
against any liability in respect of them. It appeared
that Mr. Gawen, a provision merchant in Shadwell, had
dealings with the defendants, merchants, carrying on
business at Billiter-street, in the city of London, under
the firm of " Gordon and Sons," to whom he was in-
debted to a large amount. Gawen being in difficulties,
they brought an action against him to recover 15,0001.
Au arrangement was afterwards entered into, by which
the action was to be stayed, upon Gawen admitting
11'4 2,000/, were due, and receiving that sum by two
promissory notes for 1,0001 each, passed by himself
and two other sureties—Mr. Rice, the plaintiff, and a
Captain Crozier ; that - the amount due from Gawen,
exclusive of the two thousand pounds so secured,
should be referred to arbitration, and that he should
allowed twelve months to pay what might be
awarded to be due from him. On the 7th of December,
1840,
and these terms were reduced to an agreement.
the two promissory notes given to the defendants,
g!gned by Rice,
gnature of a blank space having been left for the
oi
Crozier, who, however, never signed either
the notes. It appeared also that a fiat of bankruptcy
tw_a s.taken against Gawen by Gordon and Sons, before
prreelle months from the date of the agreement had ex-
and d. Mr. Scarlet, a partner in the firm of E. A. Jones
with_o., who carried on business in the same offices, and
imthe same clerks as Gordon and Sons, discounted
0 of these promissory notes for the defendants, the
amount of which was recovered by Scarlet from Rice by
e action at law. The plaintiff now sought relief at
ill, en the ground of fraud; that the notes were a nul-
2Yroui the nun joinder of the co-surety, and the agree-
ment_not fulfilled, the defendant having taken out a fiat
of. bankruptcy against Gawen before the twelve months
valt"ved him to make good his payments had expired.
farther suggested that there was a collusion be-
n the theparties to induce Rice to sign the notes upon
"er, representation that Crozier would he a co-surety.
ierilitle MASTER of the Rom.s, after going at some
theg a into the case, stated that there were some parts of
case to which he considered the plaintiff entitled to
relief, and others with respect to which he considered it
necessary to direct an issue, and ultimately it was de-

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.

A pleasing one act comic drama, entitled Which
i 4 the King;e was produced here last night with
complete success. Henry the Fourth of France (that
invaluable monarch for Vaudevillists) is the hero.
His Majesty, who is wandering about the country,
disguised as a minstrel, found an excellent representa-
tive in Miss Villars, whose minstrel costume became
her exceedingly. Of course the King is mistaken
by some young lady for her lover, who was to come
in a somewhat similar disguise—of course
the poor young man is hated by her
father, who desires her to marry some one
else, and of course the King interferes, and
" makes two lovers happy." These materials are
common-place enough, but they are well put toge-
ther, thanks to the really excellent acting of all
parties concerned in its production, this amusing
trifle was quite successful. Mr. T. P. Cooke is re-
engaged at this theatre, and continues to attract
crowded houses.

TAI7"B.

Tait's Magazine for November opens with a pleasant
ramble by the river Dee. Then follows "A Bundle
of Books," by George Gilfillan, once a constant con-
tributor of Tait, but whose contributions now are
assuming the character of "angels' visits." The
" Bundle of Books" is a well-written criticism upon
a number of recent publications, which, however, only
fills two pages, and which, interesting though it may
be, we are by no means disposed to consider as an
equivalent for Mr. Gilfillan's exquisite "Literary
Portraits,"—exquisite and attractive, notwithstanding
occasional blemishes. Why is the series discontinued?
A long list of authors and authoresses yet remain
well worthy to take their place beside those who have
gone before. "Miranda" is continued with undi-
minished spirit. The meeting of the long-separated
husband and wife on the taking of the Bastile, and
the liberation of the prisoners, is detailed with an ex-
quisite pathos. An interesting article on "The
Character of Lady Macbeth" endeavours, in opposi-
tion to long-established prejudice, to prove that Lady
Illacbeth was "a beautiful, fair woman, about twenty-
four or twenty.five years of age, with large dark blue
eyes, an extremely lofty forehead, and a profusion of
auburn, or chesnut hair." " What Macbeth is to the
rest of Shakspere's writings, and Shakspere himself
to other dramatic poets, Lady Macbeth is to the play
in which she appears; that is, she is the crowning
beauty and excellence of the finest work of art
in the world." So says Mr. James Augustus
St. John, the writer of the article in question, an
article well worthy of perusal, and which will be
especially interesting to those who may happen to
differ from its opinion. The concluding passages
we recommend to the consideration of one Mr. Birch,
who has recently made himself notorious by his com-
ments upon Shakspere. "In Shakspere," says Mr.
St. John, " I find more religion than in a thousand
homilies." A notice of Cabet, the French Commu-
nist, articles on the Revolution, on the Currency,
on Emigration, poetry and criticisms complete the
contents of Tait's for November.

" Noble and Mighty Lords,—The twelve projects of
law which we present to your High Mightinesses, con-
tain a complete project of the fundamental law modified.
They are to replace the projects of law which were sent
to your High Mightinesses by our message of the Bth of
March last.

" In the exposes of motives which accompany the new
projects of law, the principles upon which these repose
have been developed.
" In the exordium of this memorial relative to the
first project of law, you will find the particulars, which
will make known to you the general character and com-
position of these projects.

" I submit the examination of these projects to your
High Mightinesses, keeping in view not only our situa-
tion at home, but also the events which have given rise
to reforms in almost all the states of Europe.
" Although our country, thanks be to God, has re-
mained a stranger to thaw convulsions which have
shaken other states, prudence demands that we should
not lose sight of that which appears to have become a
universal necessity among naticns.
"I cherish the confidence that the fundamental law,
modified according to the projects which will be exa-
mined by your High Mightinesses, will anseer the pre-
sent wants at the same time it leaves us the power of
fixing our attention upon the course of events, so that
we shall be able progressively to develop and ameliorate
our social relations.

"I am fully aware that on several questions of more
or less importance a difference of opinion may and
does indeed exist; but under present circumstances it
is the duty of every one to manifest a spirit of concilia-
tion, and to sacrifice minor personal opinions.
" In examining the different modificatinns which are
presented to you for the fundamental law, I do not en-
tertain.the slightest hesitation that your High Mighti-
net=se4 will successfully accomplish a duty which I most.
urgently recommend to you for the purpose of securing
that union which is the true weal of the country.

projects of law, the principles upon which these repose
have been developed.
" In the exordium of this memorial relative to the
first project
will make known to you the general character and com.
of law, you will find the particulars, which

" 1 subrait, the examination of these projects to your
High Mig,liti nesses, keeping in view not only our situa-
tion at home; but also the events which have given rise
to reforms in almost all the states of Europe.
" Althougl t our country, thanks be to God, has re-

shaken other states, prudence demands that we should

universal necessity among nations.

"I cherish the confidence that the fundamental law,
modified acct )rding to the projects which will be exa-

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

TUE CRAETIST MEETING.--Two Or three cases of
disorder during the time that the streets remained
crowded after the dissolution of the Chartist meeting
yesterday, and a few of drunken persons attempting to
incite the people to riot, came before the magistrate this
morning, but they were of too trivial a nature to call fur
a report. In fact, the efforts of the police and special
constables to keep order were so successful that there
were fewer cases of disturbance or disorderly conduct
than on any day for some time past.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY)
Mr. Wrn. Wallace, a special constable, was charged
before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Mr. Joseph
Hemming, jeweller, 157, Regent• street.
Complainant stated that be was a special constable of
the St. James's division, and was on duty last evening
about five o'clock in the quadrant, when he and some
others were called to quell a mob in Golden-square. In
endeavouring to disperse the mob the defendant and
some other persons obstructed them in their duty. Wit-
ness remonstrated with defendant on the impropriety of
his conduct, when he said, " I am a special constable as
well as you, and you had better go home, as you are
doing more harm than good to the people." Soon after
the police came up, when witness informed the inspector
that the defendant had been exciting the mob. The in-
spector then advised witness to take him into custody.
He accordingly dal so, but the defendant resisted and
struck him a violent blow on the chest with his staff.
Witness eventually succeeded in taking him to the
station.

Edney, 103 D, proved seeing defendant strike the
blow.
Defendant denied the charge, and said the complainant
and others were standing in the middle of the road
talking about fighting and horse-racing, and on his
representing to them that they were setting a bad
example to the mob, the complainant took umbrage, and
endeavoured to annoy defendant all he Gould. He had
been locked up for four hours in the station, after
getting wet through while doing his duty in Golden-
square.
Mr. BINGHAM said that in a body of 250,000, who had
been sworn in as special constables, it might be possible
that some mistake would occur, but as the eonvlainant
was not hurt, and defendant had been locked up for four
hours, he thought the latter sufficient punishment, and
should discharge him.
Dennis Shoolin was fined ss. for resisting Mr. John
Preston, a special constable, in the execution of his duty
in Oxford-street.

BILL.

Mr. G. THOMPSON gave notice:that upon the second
reading of this Bill he would move that it be read a

second time that day six months.
MEASURES FOR IRELAND.
Mr. F. FRENCH gave notice that he would bring
before the notice of the House the necessity of
repealing the present penal poor-laws, and adopting
some measure to prevent the destruction of the pro-
perty of Ireland, in order to provide for the desti-
tution of its people; the necessity of adopting means
for the employment of the people, to lassist coloni-
zation to a limited extent; that the medical chari-
ties of the country might be placed upon
a different basis, and an adjustment of the claims upon
the counties for the re-payment of the moneys advanced
to Ireland during the last two years; and also the ex-
pediency of making a State provision for the Catholic
clergy of Ireland.
MANUFACTURE OF PIKES (IRELAND).
Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL gave notice that he would
renew his question, upon Thursday next, upon the pike
affairs in Duhlin.—(Laughter.)

CROWN AND GOVERNMENT SECURITY BILL.
On the order of the day for the second reading of this
Bill being read,
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN said he did not rise for the
purpose of entering at length into a discussion on the
details of the Bill, because he cared very little about
them, and because he saw in it a desire to
meet the claims of Ireland rather by coercion
than by concession.—(Cries of "No, no.") It was
on account of that, and not of the technical for-
mation of the Bill, that he was there in his place
to oppose it. He could assure the House, in all
solemnity, that this attempt which they were making
to coerce the people would prove utterly futile

A proclamation was published at Vienna, on the
4th, prohibiting the exportation of gold and silver
coin from Austria until the end of the month of June.

The Wiener Zeitung of the Bth contains the fol
lowing official announcement

"In conformity with the duties which attach to
the responsible Alinisterial Council of his MAJESTY,
they have prayed of the EMPEROR. that his Imperial
Highness the Illustrious Archduke Louis may be
altogether withdrawn from employment in State
affairs.

" His MAJESTY, with the expression of his deep-
felt thanks for that distinguished devotion which has
marked the conduct of his Illustrious Highness in
the dispatch of affairs of State, has been pleased to
give his assent to the request thus made to him."

The Archduke Louts was the chief of the retro.
grade party.
The Wiener Zeitung, of the 4th April, announces
that the EMPEROR has just suppressed the Council of
State, and given to the parties composing it another
position, which will not interfere with the constitu-
tional intentions of the Council of Ministers.

The following letter appears in the Allgenzeine
Zfitung

" War has this day been declared against Sardinia.
Prince Schwarzenburgh has offered to take the com
mand of the Free Corps, which will go to Italy. This
is the first day of the last ten, of the arrival of the
malle-poste, direct from Milan. The proclamation of
the King of Sardinia has caused immense excitement
here. In the Cabinet Council, which was held yester-
day, orders were given for Marshal Radetski to march
against Piedmont, and it was determined to countenance
the order for the recapture of Milan by force. Marshal
Radetski was to concentrate his forces on the Mincio,
and to endeavour to effect an arrangement with the
Provisional Government of Milan. If the Lombards
agree to take upon themselves a part of the debt of the
state, to preserve witheut obstacles their commercial
relations with Austria, and to furnish a contingent of
troops in case of a foreign war, they are to be left to do
as they like. A meeting of opulent bankers, headed
by Messieurs de Rothschild, Sins, Stametz, Meyer, has
counselled the GOvernment to effect an arrangement with
the Lombards. The different manufacturers of Austria
and Bohemia have clone the same."

The masons of Vienna struck for wages on the Gth,
and attempted to make an emeute, but they were soon
put down by the National Guards.

PRUSSIA.

Accounts from Berlin of the 6th state that alarm
was felt for the tranquillity of the city, in conse•
quence of the failure of employment, and the increase
in the price of provisions.
The majority of the population are also much dis-
satisfied with the law promulgated by the Govern-
ment for the regulation of elections.
We find the following in the Prussian States
Gazette of the Bth of April :
" An address from the provinces has been forwarded
to the KING, saying that in consequence of the decla-
ration of his MAJESTY that he would gladly see the
German Confederation strengthened by the incor-
poration of those provinces which do not yet belong
to it, but were anxious to be received, the legal dele-
gates of the province of Prussia entreated his MA-
JESTY to facilitate the incorporation of that province,
In. its present boundaries, and without any diminu-.
tion, to the Germanic Confederation.

" To this his MAJESTY replied, that in pursuance
with the wishes of the province he had commanded
the Minister of State immediately to take the neces-
sary measures."

Disturbances took place at Berlin on the evening
of the 6th. They arose from a dispute between
the workmen in some of the printing-cotton manu-
factories, but assumed so serious an aspect that it
was necessary to call out the military. Six lives
were lost.

HUNGARY.
Letters from Pesth, of the Ist April, confirm the
news that Hungary has declare 4 itself independent.
It is feared that this important ever* will be the signal
fur a civil war. In fact, out of a population of nearly
twelve millions, the race of the Magyars, which is at
the present moment the dominant power, which Aus-
tria has always treated with peculiar favour, and
which is in possession of the intelligence, the richt s,
and the most valuable portion of the lansled property

of the country, does not amount to more than four
millions of people, Thp Sislqvcmin popillntinn mirn-
bers about six millions, and in some comitants it
amounts to nine-tenths of the whole population. The
Sclavonians detest the Magyar authority, and refuse
to admit it. The provinces of Dalmatia and Croatia
have already openly separated from Hungary, and
are endeavouring to form themselves into an inde-
pendent state

FRANKFORT, APRIL 6.—The meeting preparatory
to the establishment of a Constituent Assembly has
separated. The committee of fifty will hold its sit
tinge ; it will decide in all cases of urgency, and is
empowered to convoke the dissolved assembly should
the case require it. The Republicans have placed
a committee of fifteen to watch over the proceed-
ings of the committee of fifty. The committee
f fifteen is placed in relation with the Diet by
the medium of seven members delegated by the Diet
for that purpose. The first measure which has been
unanimously agreed upon is the calling into service
of the 9th and 10th corps of the army. The 9th in-
cludes the contingents of the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg, of the province of Saxony, and of the Electo-
rate of Hesse ; these troops will reinforce the garri-
sons of the fortresses of Luxembourg and Mayence,
and in case of need will defend the Duchies of Schles-
wig and Holstein against the Danes.

The diplomatic difficulty between this country and

and to those who appointed him. The Nuncio Mon-

from Rome to the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
wherein the Holy See recals its veto, expresses a
flattering desire to receive M. LECLERQ, and apolo-
gises for delaying the announcement. M. LECLERQ,
who is universally esteemed by his countrymen of all
shades and parties, will therefore depart forthwith on
his useful mission.
