COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 18.

'Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF BARON
and a special jury.)
ROLFORD V. BENNISON.

This was an action to recover 1,3721., the balance of an
account alleged to be due from the plaintiff to the de-
fendant. The defendant had put several pleas on the
record, the principal of which, however, was the statute
of limitations.

Mr. Crowder, Q.C., and Mr. Montague Smith ap-
peared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr.
Gray for the defendant.
The case for the plaintiff rested on an agreement,
stated to hare been entered into between the parties as
long ago as 1831, when the defendant having previously
acted as clerk to the plaintiff, commenced business as a
broker on his own account.

His LORDSIIIP was of opinion that there was nothing
to take the case out of the statute of limitations.—Verdict
for the defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 18.
(Sittings in London.)
MANGNALL V. M'ALPINE.
The plaintiff's case having closed yesterday, Mr. 'TART'
(with whom were Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Web-
ster), for the defence, proceeded this morning to call
witnesses from Glasgow, Paisley, and Barhead, to prow*
that moveable stenters were in use in Scotland, for the
dressing and finishing of various woven fabrics, years
before Bridson's patent.
The case for the defendant having been concluded,
the Lord Chief Justice summed up, and the jury, after
some consideration, found for the plaintiff—Damages,
Forty Shillings.
The case of " Gibbs v. Flight" is peremptorily fixed
for to-morrow (this day).

LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1844

The division among the Catholic priesthood in Ire-
land on the subject of the Charitable Bequests Act
appears to be a more serious one than we had at first
anticipated. At a meeting of clergymen of that per-
suasion, which was held on Tuesday last at the
Cathedral of Tuam, and at which Archbishop M`IIALE
presided, the following snergetic--perhaps we ought
rather to call it intemperate—resolution was passed,
among several others of a-nearly similar cl4aracter :
" Resolved, th..,t On considering the hide,Jus front of Pro-
testant ascendancy which this law exhibits to a Ca-
tholic i ation boasting of its growing wealth and in-
telligence, we know not which is most calculated to
excite cur wonder—the insolence of the Ministry
that proffered, or the degradation of those Catholics
who court its adoption. And that the infatuation of

CHRISTMAS AMUSEMENTS.

" Christmas comes but once a year !" This is one
of those satisfactory apothegms which there is no
gainsaying, and though it might, perhaps, be as truly
applied to other seasons, yet Christmas has appro-
priated it exclusively ; therefore, this undeniable fact
is made an especial season why, for this once, every
one should indulge in the festivities within his reach.
There are few modes more agreeable of spending a
" merry Christmas," and none more harmless, than
in visiting the exhibitions, of which so many open
their 'portals in the metropolis ; and at this season,
also, there is generally some extra attractions to make
them the better worth seeing. We shall, therefore,
as it is our wont to do, present a catalogue raisonne
of the whole. _ . _ _

SUMMARY OF NEWS

A 1- 1)
ttbitr 12:-Yptritebiz

Who runs may read."

a ~ rruZdr~a .

The French papers of Tuesday last continue to be
barren of intelligence, either domestic or foreign,
that is calculated to excite much solicitude or interest
in London. They are not without some important
notices, however, in the shape of references to passing
events, which we have elsewhere transferred into our
columns. The condition of Spain, and we fear we
must add, the palpable intrigues of France in encou-
raging the lawless cabals that have led to it, draw
down a most indignant and impressive reproof from
the National, to which not all the madness of party
spirit, and the intense hatred of England that
disfigure the lucubrations of that impassioned but
able journal, can withhold us from paying the tri-
bute of our respect. We concur with the writer in
his fierce denunciation of that execrable soldier-
tyranny—unqualified in its harshness, implacable in
its vengeance, reckless and unblushing in its means,
and its instruments—which now tramples in the vilest
dust of scandalous serfdom the once free and mighty
Spanish nation. The domestic misery"; the
official corruption ; the judicial venality ; the
shameless avarice ; the unbridled ambition ; the
lawless and sanguinary oppression which pa-
ralyse her energies, demolish her institutions,
consume her resources, and hand her over bound hand
and foot to the relentless intrigues of an infamous
Court and a contemptible adventurer; are among the
most hideous pictures that have yet been presented to
the world by the most demoralised and the least-
responsible of Governments. When we recur
to the brief but encouraging prospects which
the temperate and constitutional conduct of
Espartero held out to afflicted Spain, and
to her peaceful relations with the other European
powers, we are lost in astonishment at the duplicity
which can have elevated, and the shameful cowardice
which endures the domination of such a mere Prw-
torian guardsman as Narvaez. We do not trust our-
selves to express the feelings of humiliation with
which we recur to the ill-considered. prompt, and
overwhelming readiness with which our own
Ministers, the servants of a Constitutional Sovereign,
and a free and freedom-loving people—came forward
to record their recognition of that defacto usurpation
which had, by a scheme of unexampled treachery and
bribery, overthrown the most legitimate of conven-
tional Governments which a great people could have
installed into the temporary administration of mo-
narchical power. The downfal and abandonment of
Espartero the rise of Narvaez—and, still more,
the impromptu acknowledgment of his power
and functions by England, are chapters that future
history may expound ; but as to which, contempo-
rary authority is at present strangely uninformed.

partake of a good fat goose, if the feeding be merely
the result of abundance of of wholseome food, but we
confess that we never see a fat goose, and, above all,
a large goose liver, without thinking of the atrodious
inhumanity that is frequently resorted to in order to
make the feeding of these poor animals a successful
speculation.
M. Baudrimont read a paper drawn up in concert
with M. Martin Saint-Ange, on the organic develop-
ment of the embryo in animals. These gentlemen
show that the egg in its process of development ab-
sorbs oxygen and emits carbonic acid, and that respira-
tion is essential to it.

A paper was received from M. Amussat on the
treatment of wounds of the blood-vessels. It was
not of a nature, however, to interest any other than
professors of surgery, but to them the observations
and experiments of so scientific a man as M. Amussat
must be invaluable.

M. Bonjour, a chemist, at Chambery, sent an
account to the academy of two cases of gangrene,
produced by the eating of ergoted rye, but both of
which were cured by proper treatment. Cases of
poisoning by rye which has the ergot are by no
means unfrequent, and we think the authorities
should devise means of preventing spoiled grain from
finding its way to the bakers. The sufferers are
always the poor, for with them bread made wholly or
partly of rye is the ordinary food, and it would be
but an act of humanity to protect them as much as
possible against the use of a deleterious substance.

GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, and CARIAfITAI
RAILWAY.
REPORT OF THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE TO nit
SHAREHOLDERS OF THE GLASGOW, DUMFRIES,
AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.
Your Committee have delayed making any Report of their pro-
ceedings, until they could lay before you sufficient information to
enable you, nut only to form a correct opinion of the merits of }'our
own line, but to understand the various schemes more or less con-
nected with it, for which Parliamentary notices have been given.
The number of these schemes, and their complex bearing on the
interests of your undertaking, render it necessary to preface this
Report by some general observations.
The four existing railways of greatest importance in Scotland, in
resPfet of lentil, capital, and traffic, are—the Edinburgh and
alasgew Railway, connecting the two largest cities in Scotland, as
Weil as the two seas; the North British Railway, forming part of
the great trunk line from Edinburgh to London, by way of Berwick,
Newcastle, and York ; the Glasgow and Greenock Railway, an im.
Portant link in the communication between the manufacturing and
shipping towns of the west of Scotland; and the Glasgow, Paisley,
Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway, connecting the western metropolis
of Scotland with one of the most thriving mineral and manufac-
turing districts in this country, including the seaports of Ayr,
Troon, Irvine, and Ardrossan, from the latter of which there is a
regular steam-boat communication with the North of Irelaiffi—a
railway destined, by means of your projected line from its southern
terminus at Kilmarnock to Dumfries and Carlisle, to become the
Peat high-road between the north and west of England, and the
almost equally important district known under the general name of
"the West of Scotland." Theenly link awanting to complete the entire
circle of railways leading down the east coast of England and Scotland
to Edinburgh, acroos to Glasgow, and up the west coast of Scotland
and England, back to London, is from the terminus of the Edits.
hergh and Glasgow Railway in Glasgow I. the joint terminus of the
Sreenock and Ayrshire Railways in the same city. Parliamentary
notices have been given for this short line, which is not above half
mile in length, and which will pass, partly In tunnelling, and
Partly on arches, through a portion of the city.
y Mom* existing and projected railways, which intersect the
Satteit, and, as might be expected, the richest and most populous
districts both of England and Scotland, almost the whole of the
agricultural, manufacturing, mining, mercantile, and shipping in.

STATISTICS OF PARIS.

Count Rambuteau, the Prefect of the Seine, being
called on Saturday to preside at the election of five
members of the Chamber of Commerce of Paris,
availed himself of that opportunity to present to the
electors an expose of the situation of the revenues,
trade, manufactures, savings'-banks, hospitals, schools,
embellishments, &c., of that capital during the year
about to expire. The tolls had produced 30,510,416 f.,
or 738,268 f. less than in 1843. The consumption of
butchers' meat during the eleven months of 1844 was
—oxen, 69,951; cows, 14,522 ; calves, 71,793 ; sheep,
401,044 ; showing an increase, as compared with
the corresponding period of 1843, of 2,856 oxen and
5,716 calves, and a decrease of 1,518 cows and 6,500
sheep. The ordinary and extraordinary exports re-
gistered at the Custom-house of Paris, during those
eleven months, amounted to 138,972,194 f. ; on the
Ist of December, 1843, they were only 117,469,402 f.
—increase in 1844, 21,502,792 f. The trade of Paris,
it appears, was more extensive with the United States
than with any other nation, and had augmented by
10,000,000 f. The investments in the savings'-banks
on the Ist January, 1844, amounted to 104,786,243 f.
During the last 11 months the deposits had exceeded
the reimbursements by 3,479,990 f. The Prefect then
proceeded to describe the improvements and additions
executed in several of the hospitals ; a farm had been
purchased, in which 400 insane were employed at
moderate labour with complete success ; and the foun-
dation of a new hospital would be laid in 1845, in
the Faubourg Poissonniere. The expenses of those
hospitals amounted to upwards of 14,000,000 f. Four
establishments of primary instruction had been
finished at a cost of 500,0001., and opened in 1844 ;
the expense incurred for the maintenance of those
schools, which were frequented by 39,678 children,
had been 968,967 f., or 40,0001. more than in 1843.
Several new streets had been opened, squares
laid out, 4,000 metres of sewers and 10,000
of flagways constructed; the water of the
artesian well of Grenelle had been conveyed to the
reservoirs of the Pantheon ; additional fountains had
been erected ; the works of the new prison of La
Force, of the barrack of the Celestins, and of the new
market of Beauveau St. Antoine were carried on with
such activity that it was expected those buildings
would be completed in the course of next year; the
church of St. Vincent de Paule had been opened to
Catholic worship, and the city put in possession of
the old church of Panthemont, which would be
shortly converted into a Protestant temple. " Our
admirable institutions," said the Prefect in conclusion,
"and, above all, the genius of the King, whose pro-
longed reign proves so great a blessing to France,
unceasingly develop that great national movement,
and in a few years the prosperity of Paris, as well as
that of France will repose on a basis too strong to
be shaken."

ELLENBOROUGH.

" It is not for me to consider how we came to oc
copy Sinde, but to consider the subject as it now stands.
We are here by right of treaties entered into by the
Ameers, and therefore stand on the same footing as
themselves ; for rights held under treaty are as sacred
as the right which sanctions that treaty. There does
not appear any public protest registered against the trea-
ties by the Ameers, they are therefore to be considered
as free expressions of the will of the contracting parties.
" The English occupy Shirkapoor, Bukkur, and
Kurrachee, by treaties which, if rigidly adhered to by
the Ameers, would render those princes more rich and
powerful, and their subjectmore happy, than they now
are. If sticklers fur abstract right maintain—as no
doubt. they will—that to prevent a man from doing mis-
chief is to enslave him, then it may be called hard to en-
force a r gid observance of these treaties. But the evi
dent object of the treaties is to favour our Indian in-
terests, by abolishing barbarism, and ameliorating the
condition of society, by obliging the Ameers to do, in
compliance with those treaties, that which honourable
and civilised rulers would do of their own accord. It is
necessary to keep this in view, because though the de-
sire to do good would not sanction a breach of treaty, it
does sanction the exacting a rigid adherence to the trea-
ties by the Ameers ; and the more so that their infrac-
tions of them evinces the barbarism of those princes, their
tetal want of feeling for their subjects, and their own un-
fitness to govern a country. These things must be kept
in mind, or what I am about to say will appear unjust,
which is not the case.
" By treaty, the time for which we may occupy our
present camps is unlimited ; but, there is such hostility
to us on the part of the Ameers—such a hatred of the
treaties—such a resolution to break them in every way ;
there is amongst their people such a growing attachment
to British rule, that the question arises, whether we
shall abandon the interests of humanity and those of the
British Government, which in this case are one, and at
once evacuate Sinde ; or take advantage of existing trea-
ties and maintain our camps permanently ?
" If we evacuate the country, future events will ine-
vitably bring us back to the banks of the Indus. If wo
remain, our camps will soon be filled with the Ameers'
subjects flying from oppression. These camps will
quickly grow into towns, and the people within them will
carry on a transit trade along the Indus, to the exclusion
of the subjects of the Ameers without. Among the
latter misery and poverty will sojourn, for the exactions
of the Ameers will in a great measure destroy both com-
merce and agriculture among their people.
" ' This produces another question ; can such a state
of things long continue ? A Government hated by its
subjects, despotic, hostile alike to the interests of the
English and of its own people ; a Government of low
intrigue, and so constituted that it must in a few year

death in Cheater gaol for the murder of her own
