Series of Works which may be justly ranked among the best Eng-
lish Classics, in a size and form that will entitle them to a place in
the most luxurious library, and at a price that will place them within
income.
Such reach of persons of moderate
Such a series must be peculiarly desirable to the numerous reading
societies now establ.shed in the country; they want books not merely
for occasional reference, but for constant perusal. To them cheapness
obtained by Increasing the difficulties of reading, by microscopic types,
and crammed pages, air. ords no adequate advantage. The publisher
of the proposed. series is therefore the first to open to book clubs the
advantages which. cheap editions have given to other classes of pur-
chas s, by preserving all the features of publication which their expe-
rience has proved to be necessary, and at the same time enabling them
to economise their expenditure. This collection will include
HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, VOYAGES AND TRAVELS, THE
LETTERS OF EMINENT MEN,
and, among others, the unrivalled CORRESPONDENCE of HORACE
WALPOLE, illustrated with beautiful Engravings by the most
eminent artists.
The following works, which are the exclusive property of tae pub-
lisher, will appear early in the series :

SECOND EDITION.

by which the editors of journals are permitted to
insert whatever concerns the internal policy of the
Government without submitting the articles to pre-
vious examination. Articles relating to foreign
politics are subject to the censorship as heretofore.
The second Chamber of the States of Baden have
resolved to enter into the consideration of a project
of law for suppressing all gambling-houses and lotte-
ries within the Duchy.

Madrid papers of the 20th have arrived.
A Prussian officer in the Foreign Legion has been
arrested at Malaga, as the murderer of Colonel Tao-
BADO. In consequence of disclosures which he has
made since his arrest, M. EssENTERo, the agent of
the smugglers of Malaga has been arrested. Several
other persons are compromised by these confessions.
It was reported in Madrid that a very extensive
joint-stock company has been formed for renting
from the State, for twenty-five years, the Philippine
Islands, Annobon and Fernando Po; paying for the
first, a rent equal to double their present returns to
the Government, and engaging to form manufac-
turing and commercial establishments in the others.
The Prince DE AINVILLE was expected to arrive

were done at 331 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at
201 for paper; the Debt without Interest at GA- for
cash; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 280;
and those of Isabel at 98.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.

A correspondent of one of these journals gives
the following account of the conduct of the new
POPE, while a Nuncio at Naples, during the pre-
valence of the cholera.

" In 1836 I was at Naples, where I had the honour of being
personally acquainted with the present Pope, who was re-
siding there as Nuncio. He left in that city souvenirs which
can never be effaced, particularly from the hearts of the poor.
At the time of the cholera, he sold his carriages, his furni-
ture, and his plate, and distributed the proceeds amongst
the unfortunate persons attacked by that disease. During
the whole of the time that it lasted he never ceased to give
to the sick the consolations of religion, and also aid from his
purse. He was always on foot in the visits which he paid
to them, and wren observations were made to him on this
point, he replied—' When the poor of Jesus Christ are dying
in the streets, his ministers ought not to go through them in
a carriage.' "
Accounts to the 20th have been received from
Algiers. In consequence of the massacre of the
wounded French in the province of Constantine,
by the Arabs, several French colonists have become
so alarmed that they have deemed it prudent to retire
to Bona. A band of Kabyles on the 12th suddenly
attacked a detachment of the garrison of Bugia
which had sallied forth to cut hay in the neighbour-
ing plains. The mowers were compelled to fall back
on the troops.
The Journal du Havre devotes a large space to a
letter from the master of a French trading vessel, the
Ville de Caudebec, giving an account of his having
been run against by the Highlander, of Liverpool,
in March last, and materially injured without any
offer of assistance being made afterwards by the
master of the English vessel, of whom
he speaks in the most contemptuous manner.
It having become known in Paris on Thursday
that the PEEL Administration was really near to its
close, the Bourse was much agitated. Stocks and
shares, the latter especially, declined.
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Thurs-
day at 82f. 85c. ; the Five per Cents., 120 f. 35c. ; the

SIR ROBERT PEEL. —The statement that Sir
Robert Peel left town for Osborne House immedi-
ately aftor the Cabinet Council yesterday, is erro-
neous. The Right Hon. Baronet remained during
the whole afternoon at his residence in Whitehall-
gardens.
This day, at twelve o'clock, Sir Robert Peel
left his residence in Whitehall-gardens, for Osborne
House, Isle of Wight, to have an audience of her
Majesty. Sir Robert was accompanied from town
by one of his sons. Sir Robert proceeded to the
terminus of the South-Western Railway, and left by
the half-past twelve o'clock train.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
,Sittings at Nisi Priu•, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and
Middlesex Special Juries.)
HERBERT V. OGLEY.

The plaintiff in this case is the landlord of the King's
Arms, Palace-yard, and the defendant a farmer, who came
to town a short time since, and stopped at his house, when the
debt was incurred for which the present action was brought.
The action was undefended.

ANDREWS V. EATON.

This was an action li;ing out of a disputed right of pas
sage between two houses. After it was partly gone into, i
was agreed that it should be referred to arbitration.
LEVY O. WRIGMT.

This was a cause arising out of a bill of exchange, and
was undefended.
The above three cases, the only ones in the list, having
been disposed of, the Court rose at a quarter past eleven.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
Lord LANGDALE sat to-day at ten o'clock, and proceeded
to hear short causes, none of which were of any public in-
terest.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
POOLE V. ROBINSON.
The plaintiff in this case applied to the Learned Com-
missioner, under the following novel circumstances :—He
stated that in November last he obtained an order against
the defendant to pay the debt by monthly instalments, and
he had paid some to his (plaintiff's) attorney, who had run
away, and defendant refused to pay any more, unless under
the order of the Court.
The Learned COM3IISSIONER said he did not see how he
could make another order, if the plaintiff had allowed the
time to expire over which the order had ran. The proper
course would be to take a summons out against the attorney,
and asked whether he was an attorney of this Court, for he
felt very much inclined to grant a rule against him, and take
the steps necessary to have his name struck off the roll.
The applicant said he had heard that the attorney had
gone away to Canada.
The Learned COMMISSIONER. then said he could not make
another order; the defendant had complied with the former
one to the full extent during the time it had been demanded
by the attorney, who was the authorised agent of the ap-
plicant.
The applicant said the defendant did not object to pay the
balance, but would pay no one now except under the order
of the Court.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that although he could
not grant the order, the plaintiff might have another sum-
mons to show cause why he did not pay; but if he had paid
there was little doubt in the matter.
The summons was taken out, the plaintiff observing that
he bad trusted his attorney entirely in the case, and he had
to depend on defendant himself as to what he had paid.
IN RE PRITCHETT AND ORRIDGE.
To-day was appointed for the audit of the accounts of these
bankrupts, who had carried on business as glove manufactu-
rers, at Charlbury, near Oxford.
The Learned COMMISSIONER, on examining the accounts,
said the case was one in which the bankrupts deserved the
highest commendation ; it was one of those cases in which the
law contemplated the fullest protection. The bankrupts had
carried on extensive business, but the accounts were made
up with the greatest accuracy, and all their debts had been
collected,so that there would be a dividend of nearly 20s. in the
pound to the creditors. During the three years previously to
the fiat, and whilst they were struggling against their ill for-
tune, the sums drawn out for themselves were only 1001. a
year each, but their losses were double• that amount. His
Honour regretted the death of Mr. Orridge, and was sorry
he could not allow a charge of eight guineas to Mr. Pritchett,
for making up the accounts which Mr. Orridge had kept,
and which no accountant could have so well arranged; but,
as the assignees approved it, he would, if an affidavit was
made to the special facts, so that this should not be a prece-
dent,-allow the sum as an increase of charge.

The prisoner, in his defence, said that the Mendicity
officers had a " bad feeling" towards him. What they had
said was all perjury and lies.
Mr. INIAI.TBY asked if the prisoner was known?
Horsford said he was the most desperate of the whole gang
of London beggars; he was even a terror to his own
fraternity. Since January, 1840, he bad been committed
from the different metropolitan police-courts fourteen times,
and had undergone twenty-two months'imprisonmeht and
hard labour.
Mr. MALTBY again imposed the severest punishment the
law allows, viz., three months' imprisonment.
The prisoner, as he left the Court, shook his fist menacingly
at the Society's constables, exclaiming—" I am determined,
if I wait ever so long, to put a knife into you, although I
know I shall hang at the Old Bailey for it."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull.
Sales, 4,000 bales. Shares have been quiet also.
The features in the Bank of England return for last week
are these:—

The immense amount of bullion held, and the power which
that gives to augment the note is ales, is a very decided
proof of the sway which the Bank of England possesses,
under the last new Act, over the currency of the United
Kingdom.
There are advices from Sydney to-day to the 12th March,
but we do not believe that any letters have vet been deli-
vered, nor have any papers come to hand. The dates are
later than those previously received, and much anxiety was
shown in commercial circles to learn if any news of import-
ance had been received from New Zealand later in point of
date than that previously obtained from this colony. At
present we have not had our letters delivered to us.
Great is the exultation at the Corn and Tariff Bills having
become the law of the land. Differences of opinion may exist
as to the foreign policy of the new Ministry, but as to home
matters, not a shadow of fear exists. Consols for the Account
have been done at 95, and at 947% this morning. Exchequer-
bills at 13s. 14s. premium ; Bank Stock at 20414 and 2051 h ;
and the Reduced Three per Cents at 943/4 to 95 ; and India
Bonds at 255. premium.
In the Foreign Market there has been a good amount of
business done to-day, principally in Brazilian at 83, in
Chilian at 951/2, in Mexican at 271%, in Portuguese at a
fall from 49 to 471/2, in Spanish at 241/2, in the Spanish
Three per Cents. at 3631, and in the Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents at 60%.
Upon the whole. the Railway Shares and Scrip Market
has been heavy to-day, as may be observed by a reference to
the official list of prices, inserted in another part of The Sun.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

CP AND oltronn.
IMPORTANT DECISION.

Their Lordships met, pursuant to adjournment, at half-
past eleven o'clock this morning, Lord Mornington in the
chair. _ _

Thev immediately gave their decision that the preamble
of the Bill was not proved.
Mr. ()LARK, on the part of the promoters, suggested that
the line from Hitchin to Cambridge might be passed.
The Committee cleared the room, in order to consider this
suggestion, and on our re-admission,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had de-
termined to pass the 13 miles of the line from Hitchin to
Royston, which they thought would give accommodation to
a populous manufacturing and agricultural district, and
would be something to start from in making a more complete
communication through the country accommodated.
Their Lordships then rose finally, it being half-past twelve
o'clock.
This was the only Committee sitting in the Lords to-day.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP 11.

The Select Committee appointed consider the merits of
the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled at the usual
hour this morning; Lord Morpeth iu the chair.

TAW VALE EXTENSION.

Mr. TALBOT commenced the business of the day by ad-
dressing the. Committee on behalf of the opponents of the
Bill. The tenor of his speech may be stated in two or three
words. If the Committee, he said, threw out the pre-
sent scheme, it would give time to the Great
Western Company to mature a large and more
comprehensive scheme, and one which would afford
double the amount of accommodation to this district to
that of the Taw Vale line. The " larger and more compre-
hensive scheme," it would appear, will be equal in extent
to the existing Great Western line, and will consist of the
revival of an extended North Devon Railway. The
" larger and more comprehensive scheme " is proposed
to be commenced at Taunton, on the Bristol and Exeter

line, to proceed thense to Barnstaple, and to run from Barn-
staple by a circuitous route to Crediton. Half way between
Barnstaple and, Crediton an extension will strike off, and
proceed direct through Oakhampton, Dartmoor, and Tavistock
to Plymouth, there joining the lines running through Corn-
wall. This scheme is supported by the principal landowners and
traders of the district, including Earl Fortescue, and the
Learned Counsel contended that, as the proposed Vale
line, as compared with " the larger and more comprehensive
North Devon scheme," would only save a distance of
eight miles between Crediton and Barnstaple, it would
neither be prudent nor conducive to the public interest
to annihilate the Great North Devon by prematurely sanction-
ing the trifling Taw Vale line—the one the substance, the
other only the shadow cf a railway.
Mr. COCKBURN was about to address the Committee in
reply, but he was interrupted by
The CHAIRMAN, who said he believed there would
be no necessity for putting Mr. Cockburn to the
trouble of making a long address, the Committee being
unanimously of opinion that the preamble to the Bill for
making the Taw Vale line had been proved. He accom-
panied that announcement with the remark that the Com-
mittee had arrived at that conclusion upon the merits of
the scheme as a local and independent line, and without
meaning to express any opinion adverse to the North Devon
project.
Mr. TALBOT said, of course the line would be upon the
broad gauge.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that he understood it was to be so.
Mr. COCKBURN said it would depend upon circumstances
whether the line would be upon the broad or narrow gauge.
It \the traffic'continued hereafter to go by the Bristol and
Exeter, it would be made upon the narrow, but if the narrow
gauge line by way of Yeovil were sanctioned by the Lords,
and the traffic took that direction, then the line would be
upon the narrow gauge.
It was ultimately arranged to leave the matter to be settled
by the Board of Trade.
The clauses were then agreed to, and the labours of the
Committee closed.
