EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Nisi frius before_ Mr. Baron ALDERS€N and

Common Juries.)
His Lordship disposed of several undefended cases.
THOMSON V. GREGORY AND 'WIFE.

This was an action to recover two sums, one of 24'. 19s.
51d., and the other 111. 19s. 3d. In respect of the second
claim the defendant paid the sum of 121. into court, and
pleaded "not indebted" as to the first.
Mr. Chambers and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff ; Mr.
Jervis and Mr. Peacock for the defendant.

The plaintiff in this action is a grocer, carrying on busi-
ness at Hampstead, and the defendant is Mr. Barnard.
Gregory, the comedian. There was a lengthened examina-
tion of witnesses into the circumstances under which the
alleged debt took place, but the case possesses no public
interest to warrant a more detailed report.—Verdict for the
plaintiff.
The next case was one equally destitute of interest, and
occupied the attention of the Court for nearly the remainder
of the dsly. It was an action to recover damages for a col-
lision that had taken place down the river between two barges.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)
PIGOT V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

Mr. SergeaniSnEA moved for a rule to show cause why a
new trial Should not be granted in this case, which was tried
at the last Chelmsford Assizes, before Mr. Baron Alderson.
The application was made on the ground of the improper
admission of evidence by the Learned Judge. The action
was brought by the plaintiff for damage done by fire on his
premises, contiguous to the Eastern Counties Railway, occa-
sioned by a spark or sparks from one of the engines of the
Company. A verdict was given for the plaintiff, and the
amount of damages was settled out of Court. There
was no dispute set up by the defendants that the fire
was not occasioned by a spark from the engine, as it
appeared the fire, which originated in the plaintiff's
cart shed, was occasioned in the way alleged; but the
objection taken by the defendants was to the plaintiff's
declaration, which alleged that the damage arose from negli-
gence and unskilfulness on the part of the Company, in not
using a fire-screen or " bonnet,' such as is used on other rail-
ways, for the prevention of sparks flying off; and also in
the use of engines inadequate in power to the work. Two
scientific witnesses were called in support of this declaration,
and several other witnesses were examined, who stated they
continually saw sparks emitted, some as large as an orange,
and that they saw several flying into the premises of the
plaintiff. Evidence of this kind was admitted to an unli-
mited extent, to the admission of which the defendants ob-
jected, on the ground that the declarations severally attri-
buted negligence and unskilfulness in the management of the
railway, whereas he submitted the declarations should have
been confined to the particular case at issue, and to the pre-
cise facts of negligence in relation to it.—Rule to show cause
granted.
The Court shortly afterwards rose.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary PorrEn.)
cLartms V. ALSToX.
This was an action on a bill of exchange for 15/. 16s. 6d.,
of which the defendant was alleged to be the acceptor. The
defendant pleaded that it was not his acceptance.
Mr. PEARSON appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, whom
he said is an oilman in Fore-street, City, and the defendant
is a beer-shop keeper in the vileinity. He would call two
witnesses to prove that the defendant had admitted to them
that he had accepted a bill for 15/. 16F., drawn by a Mr.
Hude and indorsed to Mr. Hamond, who had paid it away to
the plaintiff. What evidence could be called to rebut this
he was at a loss to conjecture.
The first witness called.was a clerk to Mr. Hammond, who
proved that tho defendant called on him and said his name
was Alston, and he had called about a bill drawn by Hude,
which he was told was in Mr Hamond's hands, and he wished
for a little thlte. The bill had however been paid to the
plaintiff.
The clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, proved that when he
served the writ, the defendant said that he had accepted a
bill for the accommodation of nude, who was to have assisted
him in taking it up, but he (defendant) would pay it in a
short time.

Mr. HUGHES, for the defendant, elicited that the witness
did not know the handwriting, nor was the bill in question
produced to him. The Learned Counsel then addressed the
jury, and submitted that they were.bo9nd to go by the evi-
dence, and there had not been any given as to the hand-
writing. Tliat there had been- bill transactions with Hude
there couldle no doubt, but there might have been many
other bills to the same amounts. Hude ought to have been
Called to have shown the bill was the one the defendant had
signed.
The jury gave A verdict for the plaintiff.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS LA Y.)
Elwin Ball, and Frederic Sampson, both persons of gentle-
manly dress and appFaranc were charged with throwing a
trussel into the river from Waterloo-bridge, and thereby en-
dangering the lives of people upon 'the river.
Policeman F 72 said that he was on duty on Waterloo-
bridge at about half-past two o'clock this morning, and
saw the prisoners standing in one of the recesses, over an
arch, with two women of the town. He heard one of them
shouting out to some person below, he supposed, a bargeman.
He then saw them run across the bridge and go into another
recess. There was another gentleman besides the prisoners.
Witness seeing them go into the recess on the opposite side
crossed over for the purpose of watching them, and met the
Sergeant F 4, with whom he had some conversation about
what was going on. They had not been together many
minutes when they heard a splash in the water. The ser-
geant said, " I suppose they have thrown a trussel over,"
and witness went to see whether that was the case while the
Sergeant stopped the prisoners who were walking quickly
away. The trussels were wooden beams which were laid
across the carriage way in order to force carts, carriages, &c.
to go over the part of the road that bad been newly maca-
damised. They were very heavy and could not have been
thrown over by one man. Witness had seen a trussel lying
in the recess a few minutes before and missed it after hearing
the noise.
The person who was with the prisoners had parted with
them before the splash was heard. He went with them to
the station-house, but did not give any evidence.
Police sergeant F 4, corroborated the evidence of the first
witness. He bad been tent to " visit" him. The prisoners
made no attempt to escape. The police had received orders
from Mr. Powel, the solicitor to the Waterloo-bridge Com-
pany, to take care of these trussels.
Mr. Powel, solicitor to the V 1 aterloo. bridge Company,
proved that the trussels were the property of the Company,
and were put there for the purpose described by the con
stable. They were very heavy, usually weighing from 11/2
to 2 cwt. if a barge had been passing at the time, the
trussel falling into it would have knocked the bottom out.
Witness had been to the spot this morning, and had missed
one of the trussels. There were marks on the bench and
parapet, and particles of wood, as if a trussel had been thrown
over. A man was tried at the Old Bailey for manslaughter,
having thrown a stone over and thereby killed a boy.
Mr. Logan, the inspector, said that at the station the pri-
soners made no direct denial of the charge; but only contra-
dicted the statements of the officers in minute particulars.
Ball had dust on his shoulders, as if from lifting a trussel.
The prisoner Ball was vociferous in complaining that
the women who were with them on the bridge
were not admitted to give evidence at the station-
house. Neither he nor the other prisoner made any state-
ment in answer to the charge, but called a witness to dis-
prove the statements of the policemen. This was the person
who was with them at the time the officer first noticed
them, and his evidence went.to show that the time between

his parting from the prisoners and their being taken in

charge was so short, that it was impossible for them to have
thrown the trussel over. On the way to the station-house

one of the policemen said that "it was a pity they did not
throw one of the women over."
Mr. JARDINE said-he would not decide the case at present,
as he was not sure -under what Act he would adjudicate.
Under one clause of the Waterloo-bridge Act be could fine
them for the injury (lone to the trussel, but he would prefer
to treat it in another way. lle must refer to the Thames
River Acts, in order to ascertain how it came under his juris-
diction as an offence against the safety of the public. In
order to refer to these Acts, he would remand the prisoners
till Tuesday next; but, in the meantime, he would admit
them to bail, in_ two sureties of 20/. each, and their own re-
cognisances for 4/.
The prisoner Ball inquired whether one surety would be
sufficient for him?
Mr. JARDINE—Yes ; if you can get one person to be bound
for 501.
We believe the necessary bail was obtained.

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.

(MEETING THIS DAY.)

A meeting was hell to-day at the London Tavern, at 12
o'clock, to hear the statement of Lientenant Waghorn re-
specting the advantages of the overland communication with
India, and thence by that route to Australia and New Zea-
land. Shortly after the hour specified Mr. Waghorn began
by observing that twenty-five years of his life had been dili-
gently employed in effecting steam communication with India.
At present a great part of the object was effected. He had,
therefore confined himself to the remainder of the route, and
he proposed to go by Singapore to Australia. The distance
between these two points was 4,450 miles, and the way which
he advocated was from Singapore to a port in Java,
thence to Port Essenden, in Batavia, thence to Wednesday
Islands, in Australia, and thence to Port Jackson ;
thus dividing these 4,450 miles into four stages,
He had yesterday had an interview with a member of the
Government, who had stated that this route, and this alone,
would be approved of by them. By this route they believed
that the communication would be effected, and the further
object would be served of establishing a steam navy in
Australia.

Letters were then read from the Liverpool and Manchester
Chambers of Commerce, and from an eminent house in Leeds,
all approving of the design, and giving answers within
thirty-six hours of the dispatch of the inquiries.
On the motion of Mr. WAGBORN. Sir GEORGE LARPENT
was called to the chair who, after thanking the meeting
for the honour done him, . stated that the object of this
meeting was to establish a branch on the great trunk steam
line to China and the remote east. With the benefits of
steam navigation all were acquainted, and it was needless,
therefore, to attempt to enter upon -them, but this much he
might observe, that in a great commercial empire like this,
steam communication was the great bond by which it was to
be tied together in one firm unity, and that, in fact, it might
be said to be essential to its security. His own correspond-
ence with Australia quite justified the belief that the scheme
would be eminently beneficial to both portions of the empire.
But the question was, how were the expenses to
be met ? It appeared, then, that the Government
were ready to approve of the plan which Mr. Waghorn
had devised, and it might, therefore, be anticipated that
some assistance from that quarter might, with reason, he
expected; but yet it must be met by the energetic co-
operation of those around him and of the other merchants
of Great Britain. With this remark, he would call upon
Mr. Scott, the agent of Australia, to move the first re-
solution.—(Cheers.)
3/Ir. Scorr, in moving the first resolution, which was
approving of Mr. Wagarn's plan, alluded to the anxiety
universally felt on the arrival of ie Less from India; and
after referring to the superior benefits of peace over the
glorious triumphs of war, he would not hesitate to
assert, that the boundless plains of Australia would be
productive of far greater wealth than the mines of
Mexico and Peru. He believed that the difference
between the value of the trade with foreign countries and
that with the colonies was but little known, and he would,
therefore, take the opportunity of contrasting the value of
these several trades now carried on with countries com-
prising one-fourth of the population of the globe, a popula-
tion indeed not less than 160,000,000. He found then
Prussia took 6d. a head of our goods and manufactures, the
countless millions of Russia took Bd. a head, France Is. 51.
a head, the united States of Germany 3s. 10d., and the
United States of America now took si. Bd. a head, but he
should observe that before the United States ceased to be a
colony of this country it took 1/. a head. But what was the
case
beasa-idt,h the colonies? Why Canada takes 11. 15s.
the West Indies takes 2/. 17s. 6d.

head, and at one time New South Wales took
101. a head, though now it had declined to 71. 10s.; and the
whole average of the consumption of the colonies was
11. 14s. 6d. a head, and he fourid that this country abso-
lutely furnished, on an average, as much as Is. a heal to
every inhabitant of the globe. In 1840, the Australian Co-
lonies took as much as 2,630,0001. worth of the produce and
manufactures of this country, while from all the world beside

inwards was 605, with a tonnage of 141,000, and of those
cleared outwards was 138,000, though during the last year
these numbers had declined respectively to 417 ships in-
wards, with a tonnage of 87,000, and 569 ships outwards,
with a tonnage of 109,000. On an average of the last
five years the imports had been 1,895.0001., although last
year they had declined to 931,000/. The exports, during the
same period, had been 1,158,000/., but last year 1,128,000/.,
giving employment, one way or the other, to upwards of
3,000,0-0 of individuals. During the year 1844, no less than
13,500,0001b5. of wool had been imported into this country
alone; and if he might. trespass still further, he would ob-
serve, that within the fifteen years in which this colony had
been brought to its present importance, the stock had risen
from three ewes and one ram to flocks consisting in the
aggregate of 6,000,000 sheep; and from two cows and one
bull to herds of upwards of 1,200,600 head of cattle. It had
been ascertained that the southern provinces of Australia were
in every way fitted for the growth of the orange, the mulberry,
and tobacco, while the northern provinces were equally
adapted for rice; cotton, and other products of tropical and
semi-tropical countries. By the establishment of this means
of communication the benefits would be conferred on larger
and more populous countries than any other. He had made
these remarks becauie he believed that the value of Australia
was very insufficiently known, and with this remark he
would move the resolution.
Mr. BOYLE, in seconding the resolution, said that he and
other friends were exceedingly desirous of establishing
a communication, but before taking any decided course they
had thought it necessary to consult that great and enter-
prising man who had already brought Bombay within
twenty-six days, eight hours, of London, and
through whose aid he hoped that Australia would be broughti
within 56 days 8 hours of this metropolis. By

After a few words from Mr. Henderson, in favour of a
line which would make the Isle of France the point of rest,
and other observations from Mr. Evans Smith, who objected
to the meeting pledging itself to the particular route by
Singapore,
The CHAIRMAN stated, that as it was exceedingly desirable
to have unanimity lie had, in order to obtain it, avoided the
specialty of the motion, and it was, therefore, altered to the
effect, that this meeting highly approved of the establish..
nient of steam communication with Australia.
On the motion of Mr. WISE, it was resolved that a com-
mittee should be appointed to take measures for establishing
the line, and such assistance as the Government might be
ready to render.
The motion having been carried,
Captain BARBER said that, before moving the next resolu-
tion, he wished to observe that this was no new plan, for, in
1836, lie had himself called a meeting, which was very nu-
merously attended, at .which meeting a committee had been
formed. Nor had they been idle, for they had made a report
to a subsequent meeting, and he would, therefore, suggest
that some such plan as was then adopted should now be
followed.
After some conversation, on the suggestion of the Chairman
the movers and seconders of
,tha resolutions were then ap-
pointed a committee, with power to take evidence, and to
report at some subsequent meeting what, in their opinion,
was the best route to Australia.
Thanks were then moved to Mr. Waghorn, for calling the
meeting, and for his energy and courage in opening the
route to India. Thanks were also voted to the Chairman,
and the meeting broke up.

JERUSALEM BISHOPRIC.—Various reports in refer-
ence to this appointment have found their way into the daily
papers. All doubts on the subject, however, are now set at
rest by the appointment of the Rev. Samuel Gobat, vice-
principal of the Protestant College at Malta, formerly mis-
sionary in Abyssinia. The new bishop is a Swi.4s, and of
Christian descent.--Jewish Chronicle.
We learn that the wood trade is Tery dull ; and, ur.-
fortunately, the intended arrangement about railways will
not assist it. Some measure of the kind is, however, unques-
tionably needed. —Brighton Gazette.

I FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL.
Bnussims,.Arnit, 14.—The average price of wheat in the
weak ending on Saturday, the 11th of April, was 23f. 57c.,
and that of rye 17f. 54' per hectolitre.
L Argane des Flanders has the following paragraphs :
In the course of the morning some groups of spectators,
attracted by curiosity, took their post. in the Place du Ven-
dride. About half-past ten half a dozen ill-disposed persons
and some young vagabonds uttered seditious cries, and one
of the foremost broke a lamp. He was immediately arrested
by the police.
In order to prevent any, disorder, a detachment of fire-
men occupied the outlets of the small streets issuing on the
Place du Vendride, and twenty mounted gendarmes made
the idle spectators retire, so that in a few minutes the Place
was cleared. Two individuals who had instigated the work-
men were arrested ; one of them is said to be a butcher,
of Memise. Eight or ten others have been erre: ted,
because they disregarded the watch-word. Four of
them were in a state of intoxication. All those who
were suspected of having a share in the distribution of the
pamphlets, are now in the hands of justice. The magis-
trates have manifested on this occasion the most praiseworthy
activity, they have taken prompt and vigorous measures in
order to disable the guilty from doing any mischief.
One o'Clock—The gendarmes being almost alone on the
Place du Vendride, are returning to their barracks.
Four o'Clock—The fircnnen for the same reason are also
retiring at this moment; there are only some police-officers
and a few idle spectators in the Place du Vendride.
They are all running away as fast as they can to escape
a dreadful storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied
with a dense shower of rain and hail which has suddenly
come up.
A letter from Ghent, dated at nine o'clock in the evening
of the 13th, says everything is now quiet.
Information derived from good authority informs us that
the manufacturers of Ghent, as soon as they were ac-
quainted with the extravagant excitements, addressed their
workmen, gave them notice that though there was a consi-
derable decrease both on the manufactures and sales, they
would continue to give them work, but if any of them ap-
peared on the Place du Vendride in the course of the 13th,
this fact alone would be a cause for their immediate dis-
charge.
To-day (the 14th), which was appointed for a meeting
of the workmen of Flanders, at the Place de la Nation, at
Brussels, perfect tranquillity prevails in our city. There is
no meeting even of curious spectators in any place.
TRANSGLOANIA, MARC!! 24.—For some time past numbers
of emigrants, chiefly from Wurtemburg, have arrived in this
country. They go to the districts of the Saxons—that is, of
the Germans who came to Transgloania several centuries
ago, but which are already occupied by a dense population.
Many, however, go to the more northern districts, inhabited
by Hungarians, where they seek for employment in the
estates of the great landowners, where, indeed, they are not
very likely to acquire any hereditary property. They must
find a great difference in the price of corn in comparison with
that in their own country, for it is not so high, yet here too
we complain that corn is dear.
WARSAW.—Our readers know that the inhabitants of the
whole kingdom of Poland were ordered to give up their
arms. This order has been lately confirmed by a further
proclamation of the Prince Governor, which allows only a
very few exceptions in favour of persons employed as guards
on the frontiers, gamekeepers, conductors of the mails, &c.,
so that the whole kingdom may now be said to be disarmed.
—Allgemeine Zeitnng, April 12.
BRESLAW, APRIL 9.—We understand that her Majesty
the Empress of Russia will visit Silesia at the end of May,
and, if the weather permits, will spend sometime in the
mountairs. or favour Breslaw with a visit, and reside in the
Government House.
BRESLAW, APRIL 6.—Great sensation is caused here by
the report that the insurgent natives of Russian Poland are
to be given up; and it is even said that to-morrow is the
day fixed. Many of the insurgents from Russian Poland,
who are detained in Mosel and Neisse (if we may believe
what is generally reported) have endeavoured to obtain
poison to put an end to their lives the moment they enter
the Russian territory.
We now learn that the most influential persons of this city
intend to intercede in favour of the prisoners. The President
is said to have already resolved to delay giving them up, as
the King does not like collective petitions.
Application will be made to him by the chief Burgomaster,
the Prince Bishop, and other distinguished persons.
VIENNA, APRIL 6.—lt is affirmed that the mission of
Count Figuelmont to Berlin relates to a new military con-
vention of the three great powers, RUSSIP, Prussia, and Aus-
tria, in consequence of the late events in the Prussian pro-
vinces. Conferences, it is said, will be held at Berlin, in
which it will be decided how many troops each of the three
powers shall constantly have ready to maintain order in the
Polish provinces.
It seems that Prussia is already again on the point of dis-
banding the Landwehr which has been called out in Silesia.
But Austria, whose attention is directed more than ever to
Italy, is resolved first to secare tranquillity in Poland.—Bre-

THE INFANTE DON ENRIQUF.
A. correspondent at Paris, on the authority of a traveller.
just arrived from Bayonne, communicates to us some inte-
resting particulars respectinc, the arrival of the Infante Don
Enrique in that city. We have reason to believe in the ex-
actnesi of the facts, which we submit to our readers.
The following is the communication ofour correspondent
" I thick that you will be pleased to receive trustworthy
intoligence respecting the unexpected arrival of the Spanish
Prince Don Enrique in the city ofbavonne. These particulars
I derive from a person of credit, and I can assure you that
the young Infante is by no means unworthy of the hand of
his angnq cousin the Queen of Spain. This was the first
i which struck my mind on conversing with Dun Enrique,
since, judging from his antecedents, the fact of his being
a candidate for the royal hand is the principal cause which
ha necessitated his absence from Spain, where his presence
gave umbrage to the reactionist party, who could not be-
hold with any degree of satisfaction a Prince of the blood,
much looked up to by his party, who has declared openly in
favour of legality and of constitutional principles, at the same
time that he declared, in his celebrated though perhaps some-
what inopportune mansfesto, his desire for the reconciliation
of all Spaniards who were willing to recognise the Queen
and the fundamental laws of the state.

" The passport which he bears from the Captain-General
of Galicia, expresses that he goes with royal lermission W
take the waters of the Pyrenees ; but, notwithstanding thii
official formality, there can be no doubt that the true object
of his involuntary journey is to keep him at a distance from
Spain, in order to enable the Camarilla to ripen the matri •
monial projects in vogue, bat which will be realised with
difficulty, since the Spanish nation is utterly avcrse either to
the marriage with Trapani or that with Alontemolin.
"According to information and reasoning which I believe
to be most exact and conclusive, I am convinced that either
of these marriages will entail immense calamities on the
Peninsula ; and anarchy and the purest theocratical despo-
tism will be the final result of either of these most unpopular
unions. To hold any other opinion would be most illusory,
and both England and France are interested in preventing
the success of both.
" I certainly was far from being a partisan of the preten-
sions of the Infante Don Enrique, but the information I re-
ceive from most respectable persons, who have seen and
conversed with him, and have possessed ample opportunities
of judging with impartiality, induce me to think that this
marriage, at once natural and national, will be the easiest
and most simple solution of the great question in Spain
that it will give general satisfaction to the people, and will
conciliate the respective objects of England and France, both
of whom must desire to see the throne of the Queen and a
reasonable and just liberty for the Spanish nation peacefully
and substantially consolidated. It is incomprehensible to
suppose that the King of France and M. Guizot could ever
regard the Montemolin marriage in any other light than as
a stepping-stone for the restoration of tae Duke of Bordeau]F•
" The Infante Don Enrique joins to affable and agreeable
manners, and to a person interesting though not striking, the
most noble and conciliatory sentiments; and with regard
_to
his opinions on international subjects, I can assert, on the
authority of conversations from the lips of the Prince, that,
without ceasing to be enthusiastically Spanish, and a friend_
to the independence of his country, he entertains a warn'
desire ,for ~the friendship of England and France, a close;
alliance with which our young sailor regards as most useful
to Spain, as tending to consolidate in her that constitutiona.
Government which the nation has earned by so many and
such painful sacrifices.
" The success of the claims of a son of the Infante Dal!.
Francisco can alone remove all difficulties, and is capable of
removing whatever European complications may opPoso
themselves to the settlement of a question which is, after
all, purely Spanish. If France desires that a Prince of the
house of Bourbon should possess the hand of Isabella, 1107
can she, after due reflection, oppose the claims of a Spanish
Prince educated with the sons of Louis Philippe, agreeable to
the Queen and to the nation, and who certainly is not dis"
approved by England ? I feel that, owing to my desire to
save Spain from trouble and sorrow, and to remove European
complications, I have wandered into diplomatic discussions;
but, to return to my task of narration, I may mention that
the Prince left Corunna on board of the brig of war Coo'
stitucion, landed at Socon, and arrived at Bayonne on the
evening of the sth as a private individual, accompanied bY
the Spanish Vice. Consul and the Mayor of St. Jean de Luz,w"
requested his Royal Higlinzss's permission to accompany hit
The suite of Don Enrique consists of Senor Pineiro, capta""
in the navy, who is attached to him in the quality of sear
tary, a steward, and two servants. The brig, immedistelt
after landing the Prince, started, according to instructiona
for Ferrol. The Prince was in that town when he reeeiv?,..
an order to present himself before the Captain-General, ar"t
lalonga, who had arrived a few days before at Corunna
from Madrid. This order could not fail to surprise the PritacieS
and persons of all the different political parties, who wqth
have been pleased to see an Infante of Spain treated loot
rsore respect, for, it would have appeared more natural,
of regard for the Royal Family, that General Villalong;
should have proceeded in person to Ferrol to communicf
to the Prince the instructions he had received from her 3,..
