his own control. Many important changes have
recently been brought into operation, but the great
principle has never yet been sanctioned, that no man
should be deprived of his natural liberty, and
prevented from earning his daily bread, and
also of obtaining means for the gradual liqui-
dation of his liabilities by his own honest
industry, except upon a full hearing of
the case by a competent tribunal, and a
well-considered sentence of incarceration. Facilities
are undoubtedly afforded for his getting out of cus-
tody after he has been arrested, and in certain cases
obtaining protection against an anticipated arrest.
But the mischief is invariably incurred, in the first
instance, before assistance can be rendered, a de-
fective state of the law that should be forthwith
amended, if there be any truth in the old adage that
" prevention is better than cure."

It has now, however, been proposed that the exer-
cise of this most beneficial discretion should be ma-
terially restricted ; that it should not be permitted
in cases where the defendant, or any one of the de-
fendants, was a trader within the meaning of the
bankrupt laws, and also in cases where the claim
arose upon foot of a bill of exchange or promissory
note. The Hon. Gentleman who had charge of the
Bill being taken by surprise, the usual notice not
having been given, declined to pronounce any opinion
on these questions, which it was understood
would be considered on another occasion. We
trust, however, that Mr. FITZROY will resist these
mischievous and impolitic suggestions with all his
strength. If unfortunately they should receive the
legislative sanction, the Act will become an instru-
ment of the greatest oppression to the small traders
and shopkeepers, who will be placed completely in the
power of the wholesale dealers by such a provision.
Judgment can then be more easily obtained than at
present; the costs will be comparatively trifling;
and in case of any differences as to the , quality
or value of the goods supplied, the cre-
ditor will freely resort to litigation, more
especially if the judge should not have it
in his power to prevent the issuing of immediate
execution. The only effect of the provision with re-
spect to bills and promissory notes would be, that all
creditors would, as is the case in France and other
parts of the continent, compel their debtors to give
notes of hand, and thus the most useful portion of the
law would be completely evaded. So firmly are we
convinced of the great and incalculable evils which
would follow, that we should rather see the Bill itself
rejected than the amendment carried.

Another point in which the measure is seriously
imperilled is the attempt made to give a concurrent
jurisdiction to the superior Courts in certain cases.
Wherever the option is allowed to the plaintiff, or
practically, to the plaintiff's attorney, the more ex-
pensive tribunal will be resorted to. Day after day
we hear loud complaints of the necessity of going
before the local court, and thus diminishing the
remuneration of the professional gentlemen
on either aide. And wherever any privilege,
or fancied privilege, enables the party to
sue in the Courts at Westminster, it is invariably
taken advantage of. It was but yesterday that a case
was heard before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS, in
which the original debt was 21. 135., and the costs no
less than 111.135., the creditor, who was an attorney,
having claimed the right of bringing his action in
the Court of Common Pleas. Is it not, then,
palpable what would be the inevitable result of giving
the concurrent jurisdiction demanded by some Ho-
nourable and Learned Gentlemen, or restricting the
operation in certain cases, as desired by the
principal Law Officer of the Crown and the Hon. and
Learned Member for Pontefract ? There is indeed,
we fear, a determination on the part of legal practi-
tioners of both branches of the profession, as well
within as without the walls of Parliament, to resist
the progress of the measure in every possible way.
There are, it is true, some honourable exceptions.
The Hon. Members for Sheffield and Southampton
are deserving of the highest approbation for
their disinterested and patriotic conduct on
the occasion. The former Learned Gen-
tleman graphically described the improper
influence resorted to, and the pressing solicitations to
which he was subjected, even on his way to the
House, and administered the castigation which he is
so capable of inflicting on those who had the inde-
cency to assail an independent Member of Parliament
in so improper and unjustifiable a manner.
The further consideration of the measure has
been postponed until the 16th instant. There is also
a Bill to be introduced for Ireland—a matter elicited
by the Hon. Member for Athlone, who has also taken
a broad and patriotic view of the subject, regarding
rather the interests of all classes of his countrymen
than of the profession of which he is a distinguished
and eminent member. We trust that the propositions
will receive the full and attentive consideration which
their vast importance so imperatively demands, and
that the reasonable expectations of the people may be
satisfied by the establishment of an improved system,
by which cheap and expeditious justice may be placed
within reach of even the humblest members of the
community.

Baffled in their attempt to subvert the present
commercial policy of the Government through the
medium of Parliament, the Protectionists have lat-
terly been dedicating their energies to the develop-
ment of a general agitation among the agricultural
districts ; and yesterday, conceiving, possibly, that
their political pear had sufficiently ripened, they pre-
sented themselves before the Home Secretary in the
guise of a most formidable deputation. Among them
were all sorts of energetic monopoly. men, in Parlia-
ment and out of Parliament, peers and commoners,
orators and pamphleteers, marshalled by that redoubt-
able friend of the farmers, his Grace the Duke of
RICHMOND. What they desired to attain was, of
course, a mere trifle in its way—their aspirations
being as moderate as their opinions are decidedly
rational. They wanted the dissolution of Parliament
—nothing more—and to this end came armed with a
whole shoal of addresses, loyal to be sure, but
im-
pertinently energetic into the bargain, beseeching
her Most Gracious MAJESTY to grant this boon, as
an act rather of regal justice than of royal benefi-
cence. We scarcely know which most to admire,
the cool and almost sublime impertinence of the re-
quest, or the unconscionable stupidity of the
whole proceeding. Mr. DISIA.ELI would have
nothing to do with it : no, his sagacity spared
him any participation in a movement so intolerably
absurd and preposterous. Neither would Lord STAN.
LEY lend to it the lustre of his high name and bril-
liant reputation. The two great leaders of Protection
shrank from any association whatever with this
wretched little awkward squad of the monopolists.
They were shy of the whole scheme ; and, wise in
their generation, allowed the noble band of adven-
turers to go blundering on among the official resi-
dences of the Administration.

trary, do we not recognise the tokens of an
trary,
improve-
ment not alone restricted to the manufacturinglnc.
lities, but visible, more or less, throughout the whole
of the agricultural districts ? According to the
statement of that official whose sensitive and prac-
tised hand is ever on the national pulse, and
whose intellect is ever estimating the number,
the velocity, and the firmness of its triple
throbs—births, marriages, deaths—according to
the statement of the Registrar-General, the country
evinces in the diminution of the annual mortality,
and in the increase of domestic alliances, a very large
and very perceptible improvement. Yet it is at this
particular period of returning, and, to a certain ex-
tent, of positively returned prosperity, that the awk-
ward squad of Protectionists humbly beseeches her
n'st Gr •
acious MAJESTY, through her Secretary
for the Ilome Department, to plunge the whole

country into A state of doubt, confusion, and anxiety,
by a sudden and peremptory dissolution of the
Imperial Parliament !

l Apart from the considerations arising from the very
conclusive statistics of the Rfrgistrar-General, there
are others, equally demonstrative of the folly of these
agricultural malcontents, derivable from the humane
and beneficient enterprise recently set on foot by
the illustrious PRINCE CONSORT : considerations
which should, if only from feelings of
common decency and ordinary gratitude, have
retarded the onward movement of yesterday's depu-
tation. It should have been borne in mind by these
Protectionist grumblers, that at the very time they
betrayed such solicitude to embarrass the Royal
Councils by requiring a dissolution of Parliament,
and a consequent ousting of the Administration, the
august husband of our QUEEN is striving, with no
small toil, and with no trifling assiduity, to ensure a
yet larger amount of national improvement, by co-
operating in the effort he has himself had the glory
of commencing, that of a grand cosmopolitan exposi-
tion of the; industrial products of civilization ! Only
yesterday, precisely at the time when the deputation
of cantankerous monopolists waited upon Sir GEORGE
GREY to demand the dissolution of Parliament, an
important meeting was holden in the borough of
Marylebone for the purpose of promoting the objects
now being carried into effect by the Royal Commis-
sioners. And it was there observed by the Hon.
Gentleman the representative of the West Riding of
Yorkshire, " I would not wish to flatter any one ;
but I do not hesitate to say that his Royal Highness
has done three times as much as any other man in the
promotion of these objects, whilst from this time
until next year he will have more mental anxiety,
daily labour, and perplexing toil than any working
man in the United Kingdom." Hence it was that
Mr. COBDEN exclaimed in conclusion, " I would
rather be Prince ALBERT, associated with this exhi-
bition, than the Prince EUGENE, or MARLBOROUGH of
history, associated with the battle- fields of victory."
Another and a venerable orator has already
remarked upon the same occasion—" It was the
glory of PERICLES that he restored the Parthenon
and patronised PHIDIAS, but his glory was darkened
by his private vices and public ambition. AUGUSTUS
boasted that be had found Rome brick and left her
marble, but the blaze of that glory was merely to
blind the people to the murder of the Triumvir and
the death of the greatest of Roman orators. LORENZO
embellished Florence and cultivated literature, but
he never gave to Florence the liberty be had despoiled.
What PERICLES did from pride. AUGUSTUs from
policy, and LORENZO from craft, our own Prince has
undertaken to benefit those whose welfare he has ever
had at heart." Yet it is at this identical period, when
the illustrious consort of the SOVEREIGN is endeavouring
to increase the already advancing prosperity of Great
Britain, that the Protectionists are striving to involve
the Councils of the QUEEN in difficulties by demand-
ing from her Most Gracious MAJESTY the immediate
dissolution of Parliament. The proceeding says
as little for their good taste as it does for their
judgment.

HER MAJESTY'S HEALTH.
The following bulletin of the Queen's health was
issued this morning :
" BUCKINGHAM PALACE, Mar 3, 1850, 9 A.M.
" The Queen has slept well.
" Her Majesty and the infant Prince are going on
quite favourably.

THE NAME OF THE YOUNG PRINCE.--The Court
Circalar of yesterday announced that his Royal Highness
Prince Albert honoured the Duke of Wellington with a
visit at Apsley House on Wednesday. It is now understood
that his Royal Highness did so at the express desire of her
Majesty, in order to convey to the Noble Duke the intima-
tion that it was her Majesty's gracious intention to have the
newly born Prince baptised by the name of " Arthur," as
a testimonial of her high personal regard for his Grace, and
in commemoration of the great and important services he
had rendered to his country. It will be remembered that
the day in question was also the natal day of the Noble
Duke, which gives a farther interest to this determination on
the part of the Queen.
Mseraime-nousm.—Last evening the Lord Mayor
and Lady Mayoress entertained a portion of the civic corpo-
ration, viz., the Common Councilmen of the following wards
and their ladies :—Aldersgate, Aldgate, Bassishaw, Billings-
gate, Bishopsgate, Bread-street, Bridge, Broad-street, Can-
dlewick, Castle Baynard, Cheap, Coleman-street, and
Cordwainer. Nearly all the inhabitants of his Lordship's
ward (Bassisbaw) were invited, including the inquest, Lady
Bacon's Trustees, Bassishaw Club, and Bassishaw Friends
Club. Covers were laid for 300. The vocal department was
' under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by the Misses
Messent and Ransford, the Messrs. Bodda, Young, Land,
Machin, and Genge, who during the evening enlivened the
company with various songs, glees, &c. The party broke up
at a late hour.

fertile is more shamefully culpable than he whose field would
scarcely recompense his husbandry.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
DISASTROUS OCCURRENCE ON THE RIVER.—Loss
or Two Llvas.—On Wednesday evening, between five and
six o'clock, a pilot-boat was run down on the river Thames,
opposite the entrance of the Surrey Canal, by the Nymph,
Woolwich steam-boat, on her passage up the river, and two
watermen, named James Allen and John Polker, belonging
to Rotherhithe, lost their lives.
LONDON CITY IMPROVEMENTS.--Yesterday this
measure, promoted on petition by the Corporation of London,
was opened in Committee. The metropolitan improvement
proposed to be effected is that of making a new street to
commence on the west side of Queen-street, crossing Bow-
lane, Bread-street, Friday•street, Distaff-lane, and Old
'Change, and terminating on the south side of St. Paul's-
churchyard; also to improve the west end of Gresham-
street west, and to widen and improve Threadneedle-street.
The money for these purposes (200,0000 is proposed to be
raised on bonds at interest on the credit of the city revenues
and estates.
FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.—These societies, those un-
enrolled, are pressing upon the banks for savings for with-
drawal of their deposits. Since the National Debt Commis-
sioners have ordered that they shall either be certified by the
appointed barristers or withdraw their deposits, they enter-
tain the idea (wild as it is) that if they get certified, the
Government will only pay the interest and keep the prin-
cipal I So that, from this and other impressions created by
the National Debt Commissioners' order, a pretty strong
run" upon savings banks will be the result.
VAUXHALL BRIDGE Coatrarey.--The half-yearly
meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the George
and Vulture Tavern, Lombard-street; Mr. Hugh Parnell,
in the chair. Mr. Jeffrey, the secretary, read the report.
It stated that there had been an increase in the tolls above
the corresponding period of the last year of 130/. 7s. 3d.,
the gross taken for toll being 3,5671. 155. 9d.; pier dues
during the same period, 1731.35. sd. It had been proposed
that the rent received for the gas company should form a
reserve fund. The amount remaining at present to the
credit of the company was 2,966/. 3s. 4d. • and it was the
intention of the committee to declare a dividend of 10s. per
share. Three of the members of the committee, Messrs.
W. Barrow, J. Humphrey, and C. Quead, retired by rota-
tion, but, being eligible, offered themselves for re-election.
On the conclusion of the report, the chairman stated that, all
circumstances considered, the company might think them-
selves fortunate in obtaining such a dividend, as the removal
of the station of the South-Western Railway had had a great
influence on their receipts. Mr. Porter made a long speech
on the obligations of the Sabbath, and proposed that the toll-
keepers should be released from their posts on that day, and
the bridge gratuitously opened to the public. The gentle-
man indulged in a tedious discourse on the different obser-
vances of Christian and Jewish law, but was at last obliged
by the general dissatisfaction of the meeting to desist from
pressing his motion. The three retiring directors were then
re-elected. A vote of thanks having been given to the chair-
man, the meeting separated.
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. -- At the
monthly general meeting held yesterday at the Society's
House, No. 11, Hanover-square; Sir George Clerk, Bart., in
the chair, Messrs. Samuel Gurney, jun., and John Ingram
Travers were elected as fellows, and Messrs. W. H. Twenty-
man, and W. Lomax, and Dr. George Fripp, were proposed
as candidates for the fellowship. The report of the council
stated that the number of visitors to the gardens in April
was 11,314, and that the receipts at the gate had only once
been exceeded in the same month during the last fifteen

At a meeting of this company, held at Newcastle on Wed-
nesday last, after a good deal of denunciation of Mr. Hud-
son, for not having fully completed his contract with the
company, and only partially fulfilled it on the day before and
the day of the meeting, it was resolved, " That a dividend
of 11- per cent. should be paid about the 15th of the present
month, and should anything be done with Mr. Hudson in the
meantime SO as to secure the other half, it would be added;
at all events the other dividend would be ready for payment
at that time."

The mercantile markets have been quiet this week,
and the following statement is by Messrs. Wilkinson and
Jewesbury

$6 The arrivals of foreign and colonial produce during
the past month have been extensive, and the stocks gene-
rally are larger than at the corresponding period of last
year; it is, however, satisfactory to notice that the deli-
veries for all purposes are now increasing; dealers
hays purchased more freely at the moderate
rates now ruling, prices for most of the leading
articles having now nearly fallen to the posi-
tion they occupied before the rise took place. The
quantity of produce offered has been very large, and as
importers have met the views of the buyers, the greater
portion has been sold. The accounts from the conti-
nent are still of an unfavourable character, so that there
is little or no alteration to notice in business transactions
for export.

For dyes and dying materials the demand has been
moderate, but previous rates are maintained, except for
c.,chineal, which is cheaper; indigo, in cons. qnence of
its position and prospects, continues to command atten-
tion, and higher rates may be looked for."
The foreign advises to-day, as regards the continent.
are rather more tranquillising, but we have intelligence
from the lonian Islands of rather an uneasy feeling
again.
The Overland Mail from India advises more trouble
among the hill tribes, but nothing which the energy of
the Government cannot repress. The commercial ac-
counts are of a mixed character. At Bombay business
in imports was dull, but at Calcutta there was an active
trade. The China reports are very unsatisfactory, a de-

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
NEWTON V. NANNELLOW.
In this case a rule nisi had been obtained, calling upon
the judge of a Cornwall county court to show cause
vr by a writ of prohibition to restrain him to proceed fur-
ther in the cause should not issue, on the ground that
the defendant was a working turner, and ought to have
been sued in the Staunery Court of Cornwall.
The rule was argued in the lull Court, and
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE now delivered the judgment
of the Court. The questio❑ involved in the case turned
upon the construction cf two clauses in the County
Courts Act, namely, the 67th and the 141st. The 67th
clause enacted that, except in the case of attorneys, no
parties should be privileged from being sued in the
county court, while the 141st clause declared
that nothing in the Act contained should be
considered as abolishing the Staunery Court, but
still it distinctly provided that a county court migbt
he established within the jurisdiction of that curt.
The Court then-fire thought it was quite clear that the
intention of the Legislature was that the Stannery Court
and the county court should exist together. In point of
fact, the two courts had a concurrent jurisdiction, just in
the same way that a superior court could take cogni-
zance of any action that might be brought in a
county court, with this difference, that a party
seeking to recover a debt under 201. in a
superior court, was liable to have a suggestion
entered on the roll to deprive him, with costs,
while in the case of the Stannery Court no such con-
tingency was applicable. The opinion of the Court was,
then, that a party sued either in the Stannery or the
county court, bad no right to plead privilege o❑ ac-
count of jurisdiction, and the rule which had been
granted in this case must be discharged. —Rule dis-
charged.
