But not one of all these authorities laid down the prin-
ciple of a reversal of the judgment for riot giving a day
after the verdiet% But he would show their Lordships
several atitlibrities stating that it Could not be reversed

LNrd diiiieliELL—That is a common law without
statute.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It was without the aid of
statute. it-was laid down that a discontinuance made
prior to the verdict, but not discovered until after the
verdict, could not be held to be a discontinuance, and
the rule was the same in civil as in criminal cases.
Lord CAMPiIELL—It seemed it was not thought ne-
cesslry to continue the operation of the statute of dis-
continuance after the verdict was pronounced.
The ArroftN.Ult-GENERAL said it was not necessary.
lie quoted also, the case of Rogers and Ellin, from
Comyn's' Digest. In the case before their Lordships
the verdict had been given. What was the objection of
the defendants ?--That a day was not given them on
whieh to appear and hear judgment pronounced. Why,
they did appear to hear judgment ; then where was the
injury ? If a party had been outlawed for not appear-
ing to receive judgment, he emld understand the objec-
tion, as the party would then plead the discontinuance
order to have his outlawry reversed. But he contended
that the statute of William IV., under which this trial
had taken place, rendered every other form informal.
It was a statutory adjournment which every one was
bound take notice of.

the substance of which is, that there never was a
period when England could make a greater naval
demonstration than at present, and that the Govern-
ment had taken measures for protec_ing British in-
terests in the Mediterranean.

Mr. C. WOOD was not at all satisfied by the
answers of Sir It. PEEL, and after alluding to the
attacks made by the Tories on the late Government
for neglecting the navy, said the shores of England,
the interests of the country, were never left in such a
helpless state as they were at the present moment.
He then asked if the Government were prepared to
put the naval force of the country in a state that
would command confidence at home and abroad
Sir R. PEEL would give no answer, as the notice
applied only to the force in the Mediterranean. He
considered that he had not been fairly troated. After
some remarks fro:n Lord PALmEasToN and Lord
Howleß, on the small naval force now in commission,
and the bitter taunts made by the Tories on the same
subject in 1838, the conversation dropped.
An interesting discussion then took place on the
Railways Bill, introduced by Mr. GLADSTONE. Mr.
GISBORNE announced, that if the Government did
not withdraw the Bill he should move that it be read
a second time that day six months.
Mr. HAWES and Mr. COLQUHOUN said they would
support the motion of Mr. GISBORNE ; Mr. WALLACE,
Mr. LABOUCHERE, and others supported the Govern-
ment, and trusted the amendment would not be
pressed to a division. Sir ROBERT PEEL said in
bringing forward the Bill, the Government had, and
could have, no other object in view, than to protect the
public. They had offended many of their supporters
by the measure, but still they could not sacrifice their
duties to party purposes. All the Government wished
was a full, fair; and impartial discussion. Mr. GIS-
BORNE withdrew his amendment.

Mr. GLADSTONE then moved the second reading of
the Bill. His speech contains statements of the
highest importance to the community. An abridg-
ment would do it injustice, and we, therefore, recom-
mend it to the careful attention of our readers, for all
are interested in this momentous question. The dis-
cussion occupied the rest of the evening, and the de-
bate was adjourned till Thursday.
Leave was given to bring in the Party Processions
(Ireland) Bill, and the House adjourned at Half-
past One.

Those of our readers who may happen to be ac-
quainted with GOLDSMITH'S works, can scarcely have
forgotten his diverting, full-length portrait ( f
Croaker, in the comedy of the Good Natured Man.
This Croaker, like his prototype Heraclitus of
old—who certainly ought to have been an Eng-.
lishman—is a born genius for grumbling. He
holds the reverse of POPE'S famous axiom, that
" whatever is, is right," and stoutly maintains that
" whatever is, is wrong." Where other more cordial
spirits find the materials for consolation, if not of
hope, he finds only the materials of discomfort and
despondency; and is never so much in his element as
when discovering some fine, fresh grievance, " war-
ranted genuine"—as our steep placards have it—on
which he may descant with all the powers of his
gloomy and splenetic eloquence. Just such as
was Croaker in private life, is the Morning Post in
politics—that is to say, a grievance-hunter of the
first water. As the former was always indulging,
like a JEREMIAH or a CASSANDRA, in the most dole-
ful vaticinations, so is the latter never so completely
,at home as when terrifying his numerous readers with
all sorts. of dire predictions. We have not the good
fortune to be acquainted with the person of our
'triste Contemporary, but whenever we see a
gentleman in the streets looking more downcast and
khypochondriacal than the:general run of London
peripatetics, as if some alarming grievance were fer-
mentingin his prolific imagination, we always feel
tempted to exclaim with a _ sigh of affectionate
compassion, " there goes the Morning Post!" We
hope that our desponding Contemporary may not
be discovered some fine morning self-suspended
'to the lamp-post in front of his office—a vic-
tim to overpowering affliction brought on by his
conviction of the present ruinous state of the agricul-
tural interest ; but we must confess that such a catas-
trophe, however it would grieve, would not surprise
us, for- nothing can be more lugubrious—nothing
more hopelessly dejected than the language: which
he holds this morning. That we may not be sus-
pected of exaggeration, we will just beg leave to cull
a few sprigs from his plantation of henbane, hemlock,
and nightshade. " When distress shall return," he says,
" and distress such as our agriculturists have never
yet known, cannot be far distant, let not our Parlia-
mentary landowners affect to ascribe the ruin of
'tenants and the disaffection of peasantry to some in-
' scrutable dispensations of Providence. Recent legis-
lative measures will account for the utter ruin of the
agricultural interest." Again—" In the autumn
of 1845, if not earlier, our Parliamentary land-
' owners will have an opportunity of witnessing the
action of the economical principles which they have
embraced since 1841. When farmers shall be sold up
by hundreds—when involuntary idleness and disaffec.
tion shall have spread to a fearful extent among our
artisans and peasantry—when the throat of the land-
owner shall blacken under the gripe of the mortgagee
—then will the agricultural supporters of Sir It. PEEL
understand the true nature of that great statesman's
enlightened principles." This last vaticination is in
our Contemporary's finest spirit of horror, and was
evidently penned with a view to depress the spirits
of those country gentlemen who may happen to
hay.e been too much elated by the late decision on
the corn-laws. But, though no very enthusias-
tic admirers of the Premier, we are far indeed from
anticipating that such awful calamities as the Post
conjures up, will be the inevitable results of his policy.
The agricultural interest need fear no very great or
decisive injury at his hands. He stands too much in
need of their support to work them any serious mis-
chief—at least for some years to come. The pear is
not yet ripe. The hour is not- yet arrived when he
may safely throw them overboard, and form an al-
liance, offensive and defensive, with the free-trade
party. Sir R. PEEL'S present policy is to commit
himself to no parties, but to establish a sort of claim
on all of them, by alternately cajoling and threaten-
ing -them, and blinding them by such vague pro-
fessions of good will as may fill them with hopes
destined, most probably, never to be realised. One
day he throws out a hire to Mr. COBDEN ; the
next, to Mr. BANRES, of Arcadian-happiness
notoriety. Last year, he advanced a step towards
the free-traders ; this year, he makes a retrograde
movement, and falls back on the Monopolists. Those
who may have seen two school-boys playing at see-
saw, and watched with what clock-work regularity the
one goes up as the other goes down, will be able to form
a pretty correct idea of the Premier's system of policy.
It is a perfect game of see-saw between the manufactur-
ing and the agricultural interests. The Minister fur-
nishes the plank on which the two parties are seated,
and as they go up and go down alternately, he
boasts of the impartiality with which the game is
played, and the cogent reasons that each party has to
be satisfied with it.

The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all
former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the moot wonderful ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only ar a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa.
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Mondays, Tues.
days, - Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey,
are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in
Doing justice to the awful representation of

Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the nrotechnic
Ait, that delight is predominant over terror; and tNeWhousands

that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotecheist, has achieved a matchless
triumph.

Madrid journals of the Ist inst. have been received.
According to a letter in one of them from Barcelona,
the Emperor of MOROCCO had replied to the ulti-
matum of the Spanish Government in so insolent a
style as to leave no alternative but war. The con-
clusion of the conferences and the commencement of
hostilities had been communicated to the diplomatic
body. The Madrid Gazette of the Ist contains the
following revolting summary of the executions in
only one district of Catalonia :
" Between the Ist of February and the 15th of June, the
faction' in the Maestrazzo have =stained the following
losses :—Killed on the field of battle, 54 men ; shot, after
being made prisoners,.l2o men; pardoned, for various rea-
sons, 107. Among the prisoners shot are the chiefs El Ser-
rador, Viscaro, Lauva, and Taso ; Marsal and his lieutenant,
Pilaren, Cotarro and his second, Martinez El Serano, Taran-
ques, and Galo de Santa Oleon ; and 25 generals or officers,
including one colonel, one commandant, three captains, and
thirteen lieutenants. Since the 29th of May fourteen spies
and nineteen officers, coming from France, and a certain
number of douuniers who had joined the bands have been
shot. General Don Juan de Villalonga has, by his energetic
activity, not a little contributed to this result."
The Funds have again receded. The Three per
Cents. closed at 26i cash, and 261 for GO days ; the
Fives at 19f for the same period.

The French Chamber of Peers did not sit on Sa-
turday, and the business in the other Chamber was

petitions, and passed to the order of the day. The
