seems rather doubtful, one account stating that it had
its origin in a disputed boundary; another, that the
Emperor of Monoteo had taken umbrage tt thb
French bemuse he believed that they had intended to
take a part against him in his dispute with Spain.
M. VICTOR BOUTON has written to the National,
stating that six of the principal printers of Paris had
refused to give him the use of their presses for the
publication of a second edition of a popular bio-
graphy of JACQUES LAFFITTE with the two speeches
delivered over his tomb by Messrs. ARAGO and GAR-
NIER PAGES. "They were afraid," he says, "that
the Government would seize the brochure and prose-
cute them for publishing the speech of M. GARNIER
PAGES." M. Boui ow states that he will sue the
printers before the Tribunal of Commerce for this in-
fraction of the liberty of the press.
The first bureau of the Chamber of Deputies,

THE BOURSE—TUESDAY, JUNE 4.

THE QUEEN v. rIIE CORPORATION OF SANDWICH.

The SOLICITOR-GENEIM in this case meted for a manda-
mus to compel the Mayot, Aldermen, and Corporation of'
the borough of Sandwich to pay certain costs attending the
application fbr a ntandatimS mttdd oft ehalf of Mmilliotfi
who had been town-clerk of the borough. Thid gentlemen
had been removed by one of the political parties of the
borough, and be applied to the Corporation, under the Mu-
nicipal Act, for compensation. They having decided
that he was not entitled to it, an application was
Made to the Lords of the Treasury, who decided that
Mr. Murillion was entitled to sixtypounds a year. Not being
satisfied with this, he applied to the Court of Queen's Bench
who decided that the Lords of the Treasury had no power to
grant compensation where the Corporation had decided 'that
none was due. Mr. Murillion afterwards applied to the Cor-
poration, who decided that he was entitled to 60/. a year.
On application to the Lords of the Treasury a second time,
they, on fuller investigation, decided he was entitled to 1121.
a year. The present application was to compel the Corpora-
tion to pay the costs of the former mandamus, which was
decided in January, 1842. There were two objections which
he (the Solicitor-teneral) felt bound to mention to the Court.
One was the length of time which elapsed since the decision
of the former mandamus was given. The other objection
was, that the Court did not grant the mandamus in the
terms it was prayed for by Mr. Murillion.
The Court considered the second objection was fatal.
Rule refused.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
. (Sittings in Banco.)

HURON V. THE HON. CAPTAIN DENMAN. •
This case which occupied the Court during the whole of
yesterday, when it was adjourned until to-day, was resumed
at the sitting of the Court.
It was an action for trespass brought by a subject of the
Queen of Spain against the Hon. Captain Denman, for seiz-
ing, taking, and releasing a number of slaves, and seizing and
destroying certain bills of exchange and various articles of
merchandise, the property of the plaintiff, at Galinas, on the
coast of Africa. _ .

The defendant pleaded, in justification, that he was the
Captain of her Majesty's ship the Wanderer, and was com-
manded by her Majesty, in pursuance of a treaty with
Spain for the suppression of the slave trade, to use the
force under his command for preventing that illegal traffic,
and that the slaves in question were natives of Africa, reduced
to slavery by force, and duresse, and that it was illegal, and
contrary to the treaties, to traffic in slaves, and that the
plaintiff had procured and become possessed of the slaves in
question for the purpose of carrying on the above trade,
and of having them transported beyond the seas. As to the
bills of exchange, and other property destroyed, as
alleged in the declaration, the defendant pleaded that
such property was collected by the plaintiff for the
purpose and with the intention of carrying on the traffic
in slaves, contrary to the provisions of the treaties, &c.,
and that the defendant acted by command of her Majesty in
destroying the said bills of exchange and other property. To
these pleas the defendant replied, that the place where the
alleged trespasses were committed was not within the posses-
sions of her Majesty the Queen of Spain, or of her Britannic
Majesty—nor was it on the high seas, but upon land on the
coast of Africa. To these declarations there was a demurrer.
Sir Thomas Wilde yesterday appeared to support the de-
murrer, and contended that the defendant was not liable to
an action in a court of law, and argued at some length that
he was entitled to judgment on the demurrer.
Mr. Kelly, for the plaintiff, admitted that if there was no
Act of Parliament to justify the seizure and destruc-
tion of the plaintiff's property, it could not be justified
at law. The treaty between the two countries offered
no justification for the trespasses complained of, and
were committed where the treaty did not apply ; and
that it could have no effect beyond the dominions of the
Queen of Spain and the Queen of England. It was mon-
strous to suppose that because the plaintiff intended to trade
in slaves with bills of exchange, a British officer was at
liberty to seize and destroy them. He further contended,
that the pleas were bad, and that the judgment must pass
for the plaintiff in the demurrer.
At the sitting of the Court this morning,
Mr. Baron PARS suggested to Sir Thomas Wilde the
alteration of the pleas respecting the authority under which
Captain Denman acted. He merely threw out this sugges-
tion for his consideration. He might take time to consider,
and bring the case before the Court again.
Sir T. \\TILDE said he would avail himself of the opportu-
nity which the Learned Baron had afforded him, and resume
the case on Saturday.
THE RUNNING REIN CASE.

COL. PEEL V. WOOD.
The Learned Counsel on behalf of the parties in this case
respectively applied to the Court to frame the issues, and to
decide between the parties, also who should be the plaintiff
and the defendant in the action now pending, and where the
case should be tried, whether in the county of Surrey, in
which the venue was laid, or in Middlesex.
Mr. PLAIT, who with Mr. JAMES, appeared for Mr. Wood,
said, that no difficulty would arise in respect to the wording
of the issue. The question of dispute was, that " Running
Rein " was net of the requisite age at the time when ran for
the Derby stakes.
After a good deal of conversation between the Learned
Counsel,

Mr. MARTLN (on the part of Colonel Peel) applied to the
Court to have the issues to be tried framed in the following
manner, in which the Court agreed to :—Whether Running
Rein was foaled in the year 1841, whose sire was "Saddler,"
and whose dam was " Mab." And that Mr. Wood on the
trial be at liberty togive in evidence the declarations of Abra-
ham Leivite Goodman, if it can be shown that he is interested
in the stakes. The time and Court in which the case should
be tried was then argued. Mr. Martin contending that if
the action was tried in Middlesex, a great saving in expense
would be effected, and that great expense would be entailed
on the parties if it were tried in the county of Surrey.
Mr. Platt and Mr. James contended that the action ought
to be tried in Surrey, where the cause of action arose, where
the witnesses resided, and where there was every probability
of the parties having a fair trial.
The Learned Barons having consulted for some minutes,
Mr. Baron PARKE said that he thought the case ought to
be tried in Middlesex, and that ens of the Barons would try
it in the sittings after term, but he could not name the day
on which it would be taken.

Mr. OGLE then applied, on behalf of Messrs. Weatherby,
who held the stakes, which originally amounted to 3,6001.,
but which, since the commencement of the action, have been
considerably augmented by various large sums which they
have received, to be no parties to the action, and to be allowed
their costs.—The application was acceded to by the Court.

Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope,
to the 9th April. The Government Gazette publishes (to-
gether with two dispatches from Lord Stanley to the Governor
of this colony) certain letters patent of her Majesty, dated
28th November, 1843, affecting the administration of justice
in a most important manner. Since the establishment of the
Supreme Court in this colony, under the charter of her Ma-
jesty's predecessor, the highest judicial authority was placed
in a state of entire independence of the legislative power in
the colony. That independence could only be interfered
with by her Majesty, by means of letters patent. Under
such a balance in the exercise of the several powers, in
respect of the administration of justice, with which the
legislative and judicial departments have been vested, the
'letter patent of her Majesty, placing the Supreme Court under
the control of the Legislature of the colony, will be hailed by
the public there with a due sense of deep gratitude. It em-
powers the Governor and the Legislative Council, by ordi-
nance—

" To make provision for the better administration of jus-
tice; to alter and amend the constitution of the Supreme
Courts, civil or criminal ; to regulate the manner of proceed
ing within such Courts, the limits of their jurisdiction, the
times and places of holding such Courts, and the number and
functions of the officers for such Courts, the powers and
authorities of the judges respectively, and all other matters
and things incident to or necessary for the economical,
prompt, and effective administration of civil and criminal
justice. _ _

" That no law or ordinance, duly made and passed, shall
take effect or have the force or authority of law, until it shall
have been confirmed or ratified by her Majesty, unless it
shall have been passed by the unanimous votes of the Legis-
lative Council, in which latter case such ordinance shall
take effect from the date of its enactment; her, Majesty,
however, reserving to herself the right and authority to dis-
allow it notwithstanding."
On the north-eastern frontier the system of horse stealing
continued, and the farmers were quite unable to prevent it.
In other respects the colony was progressing well, and wanted
but an augmentation of its labour power. Table Bay was
fuller than usual of French, American, and British vessels.
The arrival out of the English settlers in the eastern part of
the colony, in the year 1820, had been commemorated by a
grand dinner and fete at Port Elizabeth.
The private advices per West India mail set at rest, ap-
parently, any hope of the usual supplies of sugar from our
colonies in that direction ; while St. Domingo and Cuba, having
been distracted by revolutions and disturbances, will, no doubt,
ship off less than usual to the continental ports. Under
these circumstances the new Sugar Bill will not do much for
the consumers, although it is possible that prices
would have been forced up, but ,for its becoming
law. The growth of sugar is large enough, if we
had but the option of feeding our wants from any source.

The Emperor of Russia manifested a singular trait
of recognition, on Monday evening last, at the bannuet given
by her Majesty at Windsor Castle. During the dinner, one of
the state pages handed some refreshment to the Emperor,
when,, on observing him, his Majesty exclaimed, " How are
you, Kinniard ? Do you remember me ?" "Yes, Sire ?" re-
plied the astonished page. The Emperor then turned towards
the Queen and remarked that he' remembered the page well,
from having been appointed his confidential attendant, when
he visited England, for the first time, in 1817.
This day is the anniversary. (June 6, 1814) of the
