vative Society, the latter by the Association. But I
decidedly the most important part of the Darrynane
manifesto is that wherein the writer adknowledges
the failure of the Federal experiment, and announces
his intention of agitating henceforth c^- •
• .r simple Ile ,
peal. " I seek fr:.: Ireland," he says, " the full benefit
of the Repeal of the Union and the it storation of her
domestic Parliament; I will never take less for that
Parliament than that which it had before the
Union—that is, final legislative and judicial authority
in Ireland. In fine, fellow-countrymen, the pause of
experiment is over ; let us rouse again for the peaceful
contest—a contest not to be suspended until the Par-
liament is again in College-green with all its ancient
authority and jurisdiction. Hurrah, then, for the
Repeal!" Thus, it seems, Federalism is to be "thrown
aside as a tattered garment"—to use Doctor Squint-
em's expression in FOOTE'S farce—and the agitation
for full and unconditional Repeal is to be renewed
with all its pristine vigour. We regret this, for the
agitation is one that can do no earthly good, and
by once again unsettling men's minds in Ireland,
and filling them with hopes that can never be realised,
may be the means of inflicting an immense amount of
mischief on the community. Far better that, for a
brief season at least, Mr. O'CONNELL should rest
quietly on his oars—as we have recommended on
more than one occasion—and await the announce-
ment of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S remedial measures for
the sister country. If these be partial, inefficient,
and too much leavened with Toryism, then it
will be time enough for him to resume his
agitation, which he will be able to do with more
effect, inasmuch as be will have a far larger portion
of the people both in England and Ireland with him
than is now likely to be the case. But to agitate
now is only to embarrass the Premier—or, if not to
embarrass him, at any rate to furnish him with a
plausible pretext for putting off his remedial schemes
to some more tranquil period.

We have always great reluctance in making com-
ments on the decisions of police magistrates, because
they have difficult duties to perform, owing to the
conflicting evidence brought before them, and the
little knowledge they have generally of the character
of the witnesses. In doubtful cases it perhaps is
safest to side with the magistrate, and believe that he
acted according to his sincere conviction. There are
cases, however, when the public ought, and must
judge for themselves ; and a case of this description
occurred at Clerkenwell on Tuesday. It was one of
an atrocious description, and nothing can equal it
except the unaccountable leniency of Mr. COMBE,
the sitting magistrate, to the offender. Two
ladies had engaged a cab to take them
to a dinner party, and after the vehicle had
proceeded a few paces the door flew open, upon which
the driver, taking advantage evidently of the helpless
condition of the ladies, charged their servant with
having damaged the door in shutting it, used towards
them the vilest language, and the timid women, in
order to escape from such a horrible position, jumped
out of the cab, and tried to make the best of their way
to their own house. The cabman, who, from all
accounts, was drunk, pursued them, seized them by
their bare necks, for it appears they were dressed for
a party, shook them most violently, and they were
only rescued from this perilous condition by the
arrival of the husband of one of them, Mr. MEET-
YARD, a barrister-at-law. He naturally called
upon the nearest police-constable, to whom
he gave the driver in charge, and this con-
stable swore before the magistrate that the cabman
was drunk. Mr. Comm very properly told this
egregious offender that he had subjected himself to
two fines of 51. each, or two months' imprisonment,
with or without hard labour; but, from some strange
hallucination, reduced these fines to twenty shillings,
which, of course, were gladly paid, and the cabman
walked triumphantly out of court. No reason what-
ever is given for this mitigation of punishment.
The master of the cabman did not come forward,
but a colleague, the yard-keeper, gave him a
good character. What man tried at the Old Bailey
has been without a friend of this kind ? The Judges,
however, unlike Mr. COMBE, pay no attention to such
evidence, or indeed any evidence as to character,
when an outrageous crime has been committed ;
they look at matters of fact, and juries almost uni-
versally concur with them. Here wag one of the
grossest outrages committed upon two unprotected
females, and the magistrate considered it sufficiently
atoned for by a penalty of 205.! This is in direct
opposition to public opinion ; and Mr. COMBE
may rest assured that many upright decisions, and
some more severity towards drunken cabmen, will be
necessary to redeem his character as a magistrate.
The watermen, by their savage conduct towards fe-
males, prevented all respectable women from taking
boats on the river. They were ultimately reduced to
beggary ; no respectable person would enter into a
river-boat ; and if the other magistrates follow the
example of Mr. COMBS, the cabmen will, in a short
time, be subjected to the same condign punishment.
But are the public, in the meantime, to suffer, and,
while they pay at an enormous rate for police, to have
no protection ?

The Paris papers of Tuesday have been received,
but at a very late hour, owing to the state of the
weather. The Moniteur contains the following tele-
graphic dispatch :

"BAYONNE, Nov. 11.
"The Congress definitively voted its Address on
the Bth.

" The discussion on the project of reform was to
commence on the 9th."

The Presse, in noticing these dispatches, says, that
after the failure of the amendment proposed by M.
IsTuniTz, no doubt remains of the intentions of Con-
gress. The discussion about to take place is a mere
form, and the Government plan may be considered as
adopted.
The Paris papers of Tuesday are exceedingly barren
of interest.

The market fur rentes is well supported to-day, and
that of railway shares is rather heavy. The Five per
Cents. are held firmly at 1191. 65e. ; and the Threes at

We have received the Madrid mail of the 6th. The
discussion on the address continued in the Cortes.

A commission was appointed to report on the
project of law, already approved of by the senate,
for giving to the Government the necessary autho-
rity to establish organic laws. The commission is
composed of Messrs. LORENZE, BENAVIDES, ALCALA.
GALIGANO, QUINTO, MORA, and NORCEDAL.
No doubt now remains, that the amended article
relative to the Sovereign's marriage, puts an end
altogether to the hopes of the family of Don CARLOS.
The Madrid Gazette of the 6th contains the con-
tract made with the Bank of FERDINAND, for the ad-
vance of money necessary to pay the December
dividends.

POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, 1845.—This'
work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publica-
tion, and latterly it has been brought out on such a
comprehensive, correct, and extensive system, that it
has driven all competitors from the field. The editor,
Mr. Kelly, in announcing this fact, at the same time
assures the public that they shall not suffer—on the
contrary, profit—by the monopoly ; for it is in-
creased as compared with the edition of 1844, by
twenty-eight pages, containing more than 4,000 names,
and these not confined to one list, but carried into the
various classifications, all of which are proportionally
extended. The Postal Directory, which has been
compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruc-
tion as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to
all parts of the world ; and the list of the principal
places in England and Wales has been greatly en-
larged, for the purpose of facilitating the operations
of the money-order office. The following are a few
of the additional improvements in this edition. For
the metropolis, there is a return of real property
assessed to the property and income-tax for the year
ending April 1843, with the population according to
the last census, with the number of acres which this
vast metropolis covers. These amount to 60,000, the
population to 1,950,921,and the real property assessed
to the property-tax, 12,779,1241. The population of
eraacleilyward, pariah, and inn of court, is given sepa-

terating titong stamps used at the Post-office, with a list t,'

common defect—the illegibility of the country post-
office mark of the town. A third improvement is an
interesting statistical account of the commerce of the

issue notes, with the average amount of the, link
notes of such banker which were in circulation during
the period of twelve weeks preceding the 27th of
April last, according to the returns made by such
banker in pursuance of an Act passed in the
fourth and fifth years of the present reign.
Besides these, there are several other improvements
which contribute materially to the convenience of
consulting a work so multifarious, and which contains
not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct,
letter-press. It is accompanied by a map of London,
formed from a recent survey. The other portions of
this Directory we have on former occasions described,
and it is needless to refer to it farther than by saying,
that by taking the additional improvements into
account, the late period to which the returns have
been made, and the excellent arrangements, it is, per-
haps, the most complete manual of the kind ever
published.
MORTALITY IN THIS METROPOLISo—The number
of deaths during the week, ending Saturday, Nov. 9,
was 989, showing an increase over the previous week
of 23. Deaths from small-pox and scarlatina are still
high, and there has been a considerable increase from
pneumonia, and other diseases of the lungs. The
deaths from small-pox are 42—average 17 ; scarlatina,
70—average 45 ; typhus, 32—average 29 ; pneumonia,
110, for the autumn months 107, and five years ave-
rage 79. The 42 deaths from small-pox occurred at
the following ages :—Nine under one year ; ten
1-3; nine 3-5; ten 5-10; three 15-30; and one
32 years. The following is an analysis of the list
of violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, six cases,
of which one was by a fall, and three by the fall of
hard bodies ; the remaining two by means not stated.
Rupture, one case (probably by violence, but the na-
ture is not described). Wound, one case (by an
animal). Drowning, eleven cases, of which one was
suicide, and two accidental ; in the remaining eight
it could not be ascertained, or juries have neglected to
state, whether accidental or otherwise. Hanging,
three cases (suicides). Suffocation in bed, three cases.
Poison, three cases, of which one was suicide, one ac-
cidental, and one from criminal intention, but not
with a view to commit suicide; and burn, one case.
Total—eighteen males and eleven females.—The fall
of rain has been unusually great, amounting to 1.82
inches.

With respect to the Cotton market here and in Ame-
rica, the following remarks are contained in a paper re-
ceived this morning from New York :—" Notwithstand-
ing the droughts, freshets, &c., the additional extent of
soil put under cultivation last spring, for this crop, is
sufficient to off-set any very serious damages that may
have been suffered in many sections. In many seasons
past, speculations have from time to time increased
the prices, and favourably influenced the average for the
year, but we have, at present, no evidence that the
slightest speculation will affect the yield from the new
crop. The production has now reached a
,point which
cannot be controlled. When the United States Bank
was in the market as a speculator in the article, the
crops were very small compared with those of the present
day, and, of course, the quantity to control less.
In 1835 the crop was only 1,361,000 bales; in 1836,
1,423,000 bales ; in 1837, 1,801,000 bales ; whereas
the crops of recent years have been immense. In 1842
the yield was 2,379,000 bales, nearly double the quantity
produced in 1835 ; in 1843 the yield was 2,025,000
bales ; but we should judge the crops of 1844 would not
fall far short of 2,500,000 bales, and it is possible it
may exceed that. We see by these returns the utter
impossibility of monopolising or controlling a sufficient
quantity to govern the market and advance prices. We
have no banking institutions of capitals or credits suffi-
cient to come forward and control the crop. There is
too great a distribution of capital to perfect any combi-
nation large enough to create much speculation.'
The packet-ship Independence sailed from Liverpool
on the 22d September, arrived at New York 21st October.
The packet-ship Prince Albert sailed from Ports-
mouth on the 22d September, and arrived at New York
19th October.

We learn from Canada that the progress of the elec-
tions were most in favour of Sir Charles Metcalfe, and
but little doubt was entertained that the Opposition
party would be entirely defeated. The weather was ex-
tremely bad.
The cargo of oranges in Eleanor and Fayal via South-
ampton, realised considerably higher prices than those of
last season. The condition of the packages was not at
all impaired by the train's-shipment from Southampton,
which argues well for further operations by the same con-
veyance—expedition being of the first importance to
articles of a perishable character like fruit.
The announcement received from the French capital
this morning that the firm of Messrs. Rothschild,
Brothers, were the principal bidders for the first series of
the loan, for about 8,000,000 L, had rather a beneficial
affluence upon the market for our own secureties, as it
had,.in fact, on French Stock on the 13ourse is Paris.
The Commissioners bought Reduced Three per Cents.

There is a good deal of activity in the Foreign market
this morning, as the settlement will take place to-mor-
row. The variations in the prices however have been
slight. Danish Stock is at 891 ; Mexican at 351 1 ;
Russian at 119 ; Spanish at 24* *; the Three per Cents.

The *ice-Chancellor decided that they were ; and from
that decision the parties appealed to that bunch of the
Court. It appeared that the defendant brought an ac..
tion against the plaintiff upon a policy of insurance on
a ship called the Sherborne, bound to Calcutta.
The defence set up to that action was that
the ship was not sea-worthy. Certain letters
passed between the parties relative to the evidence to be
adduced at the trial, and a bill was filed for the purpose
of compelling the defendant to produce them. On the
case coming before the Vice• Chancellor of England, he
refused to order their production ; and his Lordship
agreeing in the propriety of that decision, dismissed the
appeal with costs.
ST. VICTOR V. DF.VEREUX.
The Court then proceeded to hear the further argu-
ments in this part-heard motion, which came before the
Court upon appeal from the decision of the Master of
the Rolls, discharging an order he had formerly made,
permitting the plaintiff to sue in forma pauperis. The
case occupied the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir JAL RIWCE.)
GRIFFITIIS V. wALTON.
Mr. MARTIN, in this case, moved, on the part of the
plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from
making and selling articles of metal, such as tea-pots,
coffee-pots, saucepans, &c., &c., manufactured according
to certain processes for which the plaintiff had a patent.
An application had previously been made to the Court
in the month of October last, on similar grounds, and
an order was issued, enjoining the defendant to cease
from making these articles from the 14th of November.
It was in consequence of a breach of this order since
that date, that the motion for the present injunction was
made. The plaintiff's patent was taken out in 1834 ; it
was for an improvement in the method of manufacturing
articles of the description above-mentioned, the process
being generally applicable to all articles of tin,
copper, and plated ware. The specification of the
patent was perfectly valid, and was a docu-
ment of considerable length, setting forth the various
processes used )in the manufacture. From the time
the patent was taken out, in 1884, to the present time,
the plaintiffs continued to exercise their skill and right
under it. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to de-
scribe, at some length, the details of the different pro-
cesses, which were explained by various specimens of
the finished articles, and the dies, moulds, and machinery
used in making them. These were produced in Cola%
and submitted to the inspection of his Honour. The
Learned Gentleman stated that the plaintiff and defendant
were engaged in the same trade, one residing at Birming-
ham, the other at Wolverhampton; and that the defendant
had frequently purchased the patented articles. of the
plaintiff, and supplied them to his (defendant's) cus-
tomers, and furnished them to his ageats and travellers
as specimens. Having further pointed out the identity
of the articles now made by the defendant with those
manufactured by the plaintiff, he concluded by pressing
for an injunction to restrain the defendant from such
manufacture.
Mr. RUSSELL appeared for the defendant, and pleaded
want of novelty in the invention, and want of infringe-
ment of the patent on the part of his client.
(The case was not concluded when we went to press.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
DOE DEM ANGELL V. ANGELL.
This was the celebrated ejectment case, on the deci-
sion of which the right to the great Angell estates de-
pends. It was tried about twelve months since on the
F oon Circuit, and a verdict was returned for the lessee
of the plaintiff. A rule nisi had subsequently been ob-
tained for a new trial, and the arguments on that rule
were continued this morning. These arguments, which
were of a purely technical character, will not, in all pro-
bability, be concluded to-day.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS PAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE MARQUIS OF DOTE V. THOMPSON.
In this case the Court gave judgment for the plaintiff
on the 6th of July, when Mr. Baron Alderson stated
that in the course of the present term he would give the
reasons of his decision.
Mr. HIGGINS, as counsel for the plaintiff, applied to
the Court this morning to fix a convenient day for that
purpose, alleging. as the ground of the application, that
ulterior proceedings were contemplated.
The Court would take the matter into consideration.

ING ACTIONS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a
tailor, against the defendant, to recover the costs in-
curred in an action for debt which he had brought
against the defendant.
In October, 1842, the defendant's father died, and the
plaintiff supplied him with a suit of mourning, in
order that he might appear at the funeral, and pay re-
spect to his father's memory. The defendant paid only a
portion of the bill, leaving a balance of 3!. 95., for the re-
covery of which a writ was issued on the 20th, and served
on the 22d of January last, and on the same evening the
defendant's solicitor paid 3/. 9s. to the plaintiff, whogave
a receipt in full for the debt, at the same time stating
that he would see his solicitor and arrange the matter
with him. The action was, therefore, for the costs
incurred.
Mr. CHARNOCK, who appeared for the defendant, con-
tended that he was not liable for the costs, and cited
several cases from the books in support of his view of
the case.
The UNDZR-SHERRIFF having summed up the evi-
dence, the jury after a considerable deliberation, returned
a verdict for the defendant.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
A very considerable number of cases were put down
this day for hearing, but none of them contained any
feature of public interest.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Robert Hatt,lwho keeps a coffee-shop in Drury-lane,
was brought up in custody, charged with violently
assaulting William Smith.
The complainant, who appeared in Court with a
frightful cut on his eye, stated that the defendant came
to the Craven Head, Drury-lane, last night, and called
witness out, and immediately commenced beating him,
whereby his face had been so severely injured.
The defendant, in a highly excited state, said, in his
defence, that the complainant had, for some time past,
been endeavouring to seduce his (defendant's) daughter.
Hearing of the attempts, he went to the Craven Head
last night, where he heard the defendant was, and
accused him with his dishonourable conduct. The com-
plainant admitted that he had attempted to seduce the
young woman, and said he would yet succeed in doing
so. Upon this he (defendant) knocked him down.
Mr. JARDINE said he could sympathise with a father's
feelings under such circumstances, but still persons must
not be allowed to take the law into their own hands.
He must, therefore, fine the defendant 31, or, in default
of payment, commit him for three weeks.
',Uhe defendant 14118 locked up.

-STREET.
MARLBOROUGIi
(THIS DAY.)
An Italian boy was placed at the bar on the I.l'.ll"ring
charge :
A clerk to Mr. Garrard, of Suffolk-street, Pall-mall
solicitor, stated that about half-past four o'clock yester-,
day afternoon, the defendant came opposite to Mr. Gar-
rard's door with an organ, and commenced playing.
Mr. Garrard feeling this to be much annoy once and in-
terruption to him in his business, desired the defendant
to go away, but he refused, and ,continued playing for
upwards of ten minutes. He was then given into charge
of the police.
Mr. HAnDwrcx said that no doubt but the street
music was, in many cases, a very great nuisance, and the
defendant should at least have moved on when he was
desired. He should, therefore, fine him five shillings, or
five days' imprisonment and hard labour.
The defendant said he had no money, and begged hard
to be forgiven.
Mr. HARDWICK was, however, inexorable, and the boy,
was accordingly sent to prison.
