nine cheers for the League. Sir Robert Peel has carried a victory scarce less
damaging to the prestige of power and principle in the
House of Commons than Lord Grey carried over the
Lords in May, 1832. Mr. Milnes anticipated (from
an opposite course) that " the people would repose in
that House such confidence as had never been reposed in
it since the time of the Reform Bill." There is a
little mistake in this: The Tory Minister has forced the
Commons to eat the same humble-pie which the Whig
Minister forced the Lords to eat on the former occasion.
He has forced them to stay away from the division, if
they were not ready to vote at his bidding. It is difficult
to conceive a greater humiliation to any set of men.
But—" On ne meurt pas de cela, comme vous savez,
Mesdames !"—as the Frenchman said to another set of
virtues. It has been much questioned whether the
Minister has a right to impose this humiliation on Isis fol-
lowers. Now we hold that, in such cases, the right to do so
is proved satisfactorily by the power. Whatever humilia-
tion an assembly %till submit to, it feels its due. We
hope no hollow vote will escape a similar self-expos
sure. We hope no Minister will fail to act on a
similar confidence that pretexts are not realities.
The Reform Bill would have been a great cala-
mity, if every piece of paltry competition between
parties for momentary popularity were thenceforth
to be embodied in Acts of Parliament. If Ministers
cannot, since that era, prevent such votes being given,
they must stake continuance in office on their
being reversed. They have done so in this case
successfully; and have set a good example (at no
great risk to be sure to themselves) in what
manner a vote of the House of Commons should hence-
forth be treated, when it is backed no better than by a
pressure from without, worth, so little as in this case.
How little that pressure was worth was shown to Mr.
Ward and Mr. Bright ; and if the facts which the
latter Member stated cannot be contradicted, we cannot
conceive what leg the short time agitation has left to
stand upon. It may be asked, if this measure is not de-
manded by the operatives themselves, when it is prac-
tically put to them, by whom then is it demanded, and
what is the source of the loud cry that has been raised ?
In answer to this question, we may say that it cannot
be doubted that many working men, in arid out of mills
(a large proportion, perhaps, out of them), believe that
law can fix the minimum of wages, as well as the maxi-
mum of work—and that employment will be extended
by curtailing the time and products of labour. But
what is not so well known is the length of time a small
k' of of persons, assuming the function of trades' dele-
gates, and living by the agitation they can keep up, have
been employed in propagating the most extravagant
notions on these subjects.

the Right lion. the Earl of Auckland, late Governor-Gear.
of India, President, in the chair. The report of the council
gave a gratifying account of the Society's proceeding;
which had been conducted without trenching upon'
accumulated funds. Much stress was laid upon the de d.
ableness of obtaining public apartments free of expense, aner
for the Society to enjoy the same advantages as of h,
public scientific societies. Amongst the, losses which the
ciety had experienced by death was the Hon. J. R. MI, 0
son, interpreter to the English Government in China
Hon. G. Tumour, late in her Majesty's civil service in '"10-1
lon ; Dr. Rossellini, the celebrated Egyptian antiquaroo
Pisa, &c. The progress made by the Oriental Trap rte
Fund was stated as very satisfactory, several new ''.j-hr
having been added to the list, amongst which was the
bistan, an account from an old Persian author of all religiolll,.
and creeds. This, which was considered a remarkable w, '°,fig,
is published in three vols. Bvo. A second donation of j,
towards the objects of the Society, was announced V° ea

LAW LiTEL.LIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 15.
Sittings at the Guildhall, at Nisi Prius, before Lord
DENMAN and a London Common Jury.)
FERGHSSON V. CLAY WORTH AND WIFE.

This was an action to recover damages for defamation
of character. The defendant's wife kept a poulterer's
shop, and the plaintiff's daughter havir.g gone in to
make some purchases, was accused by defendant's wife
of having stolen an egg. The defendant's wife fol-
lowed her out of the shop, and abused her in the street,
telling the mob which had collected to witness the dis-
turbance, that the plaintiff got his living by robbing the
public.
The case having been proved on the part of the
plaintiff, no witnesses being called for the defence, the

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE. ,

A respectable young man of the Jewish persuasion,
named David Symonds, was summoned before the Lord
Mayor by a very sharp-looking hackney-coach driver,
who called himself Alfred Marlams, No. 1,706, fur hav-
ing refused to pay for the hire of the said coach. The
case attracted a crowd of fair auditors.

PROMISSORY NOTES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

It appeared that the complainant having determined to
leave the condition falsely called " single ilessedness,"
hired two carriages to convey the lady to whom he was
to be united, and himse!f and a. few friends, to the syna-
gogue. Although abounding with bridegroom feelings,
he did not forget that it would be prudent to make a
bargain with the drivers, and a bargain he accordingly
made. The ceremony having been performed, the happy
pair and their friends returned to Mr. Symonds' house,
and upon their arrival a demand was made which he
did not consider he was bound to pay, as it exceeded
the contract, and was, in his opinion, evidently made as
a draw upon the weakness of his altered state. As love
had not quite blihded him in the matter of his
pocket, and as he entertained no idea of being
swamped by a mere driver of a hackney-coach, he re-
solved to have the judgment of the Lord Mayor upon the
subject, and the driver summoned him, in order to ob-
tain the just amount he claimed, and in the hope that
the decision would operate as a warning to other people
of the Jewish religion how necessary it was for them
to behave honourably to the whip fraternity.
The complainant said the Jew gentleman, wanting to
get married, engaged him to take some of the party to
the synagogue, and after the knot was tied, which occu-
pied them nearly two hours, refused to pay him more
than half-a-crovoi, four shillings or four shillings and
sixpence being his regular fare. It was in vain that
assurances were made that the money paid was much
below the sum which the law assigned, and the affair was
the more vexatious, as the driver of another coach, in
which others of the party were accommodated, received
five shillings from the bridegroom. He (complainant)
considered that he was very ill-treated in the whole
business.

Sin,----The hostility that is manifested in various quarters
to the promissory notes of country bankers is really unac-
countable; one might suppose that they formed the only
peccant part of our monetary system, and that to get rid of
them would be to create universal order and harmony ; this
opinion is certainly not entertained by persons who make use
of them, and who observe their operation in the districts
where,they circulate.
Let it be observed that Bank of England notes are the
circulation in all the great mercantile and manufacturing
towns in the empire, so that bankers' notes are at least guilt-
less of the speculations and adventures that are carried on in
these places ; in many of the agricultural districts, where the
largest amount of promissory notes is kept in circulation, a
bill of exchange is rarely seen. It would be worth while for
Sir R. Peel to inquire what amount of bills is discounted an-
nually by ten of the banks returning the largest circulation ;
if I were to form a conjecture, I should say that a larger
amount is discounted in one week in Liverpool, than in one
year by an agricultural note issuing bank. How, then, are
these notes put into circulation? They have been called into
action long ago, and they pass to and fro in the ordinary
transactions of business, circulating the various commodities
which the population require; the amount is adjusted to the
wants of the people, and in every such district a much larger
sum is deposited with the banker than is issued by him in
the form of promissory notes; he has received from his
neighbours their savings, and he has xeturned to them a part
of the sum in his own notes, with which to carry on their
operations. Now such a circulation, whatever theorists may
say to the contrary, is based upon sound principles—princi-
ples as sound as any deduced from the state of the foreign
exchanges. If the customer of such a bank, having 1,001.
deposited, chooses to draw it out and build himself a house,
does it make any difference whether the bricks are paid for
in Bank of England notes or in the banker's own notes ; in
either case the circulation is increased without any regard to
the foreign exchanges; but Sir It. Peel complains that the
notes of country bankers fluctuate with prices. No doubt if
1,000 quarters of wheat are sold at 80s. it will take one-third
more money to transfer them than if they had been sold at
605.; but is any body to blame for this ? Sir R. Peel is
moving on towards one bank of issue; and the sort of objec-
tions that are urged against the present system may teach
us what we are to expect under the new one. Of one thing
we may be certain, that the practice of allowing interest on
deposits will undergo some alteration, and as the Chancellor
of the ExChequer is -circumscribing the savings' banks, and
reducing their rate of interest, the working classes and small
farmers must find out some other investments, as bankers
cannot afford to allow two-and-a-half and three per cent. if
they are not to issue notes. The large amount of cash which
they must keep by them to meet the daily demands will se-
riou.ly curtail their profits, more especially where they are
at some distance fiom the place of supply.—l am, your Ob -
dient servant, BANQUO.
Newcastle, May 8, 1844.

Sir Jt art PIRIE—I slould like to know whether you
and the other coachman were engaged together ?
Complainant—No, my Lord ; I knew nothing about
him, only that he got five shillings, and I only got half-
a-crown, though I carried the bride and bridegroom.
Sir JOHN PIRIE—WeII, what has the defendant to
say ?
Mr. Symonds said that the complainant and the other
driver had agreed to take the bridal party to and from
the synagogue for five shillings, after having tried to
get six. Upon the return of the party home he put into
the hands of the other coachman the five shillings to
discharge the whole coach hire. They both appeared to
be going, when the complainant suddenly returned and
said they had not received enough, and began to make a
noise about the premises ; and, to prevent any further
annoyance, he (Symonds) threw the man half a-crown,
and then both went away perfectly satisfied. It was not
therefole without surprise that he received a summons
calling for additional money.
Sir .1. PIRIE—Have you got any witness to prove the
contract ?

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per
mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25
45i ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.38 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 485
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Id.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 10, it follows that gold is the same price at
Hamburgh and London.
'rhe course of exchange at New York on London is
1084 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng-
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England.
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days sight, the interest must be deducted from
he above difference.

MORE HINTS TO MAKE HOME

HAPPY.

To WIVES.—Your first consideration before marriage was
how to please your lover. Consider any such endeavour after
marriage to be unnecessary and ridiculous ; and, by way of
amends for your former lab-our, let your sole object be to please
yourself. ,Be at no pains to look well of a morning. Along
when it is cold. ." Taking the
minutes ; come down to break-
htiaiilretourset, tiresome,
snearlyten
particularly
break-
fast, therefore, in curl papers, also in a flannel dressing-gown,
and, unless you expect callers, remain in deshabille all
day. Husbands are nobodies, and comfort is to be studied
hefore, appearance. But are you to neglect your attire alto-
gether? By no means. Indulge your taste in dress to the
utmost. Be always buying something new : never mind the
expense of it. Payments belong to husbands. If you see a
shawl or bonnet in a window, order it. Should a silk or a
a jewel, strike your fancy ? purchase it
muslin attract- your eye, desire it to be sent home: Does a
husband is astonished at the bill, pout ; if

a. r bf ayno (I! r
he remonstrates, cry. But do not spoil your finery by domes-
tic wear. Reserve it for promenades and parties. It is the
-admiration of society that you should seek for, not your
•husband's. Be constantly seeing tables, chairs, window cur-
tains, and other furniture which you like better than your
own, and insist upon their being got. Want to get rid of
• your old piano, and have a new one. If your husband keeps
•a•earriage for you, desire a better ; if he does not, and can-
not afford it, complain. Whenever your desires exceed
• his• means look unhappy, and hint how much more advan
tageously you might have married. Never smile and hope
for better things, but- make your husband feel as keenly
as you can the inadequacy of his means to support you.
Practise, however, a reasonable economy. Take every op-
portunity of_ making a cheap purchase, and when asked of
what use it is, reply that is " a bargain." Enjoy ill health,
be very nervous, and, in particular, subject to fits, which
you are M fly into as often as your husband is unkind; that
is, whenever -he reasons with you. Make the most of every
little ache or pain, and insist upon having a fashionable phy-
sician. There is something very elegant in illness ; a pretti-
ness-in a delicate constitution; affect this attraction, if you
have it not ; men admire it exceedingly. Put yourself un-
der no restraint in your husband's presence; sit, 1011, or lie,
in just-what-way you like,_ looking only to the ease of the
posture; not to -its grace. Leave niceties of conversation and
sentiment to- the single ; never mind how you express your-
self; why should wives be particular? When your husband
wishes to-read or be quietkeep chattering to him; the more
frivolous -and uninteresting the•subject the better. If he is
disposed for conversation. be dull and silent; and when-
ever you see that he is interested in what ,he is talking
about, especially if he wishes you to 'attend'to him, keep
Yawning. Them are two ways of discharging your house-
hold duties. If you are languid and listless, you may let
them alone; if not ab:e, you should be continually turn-
ing the house topsy-turvy, under pretence of setting it to
rights. You can -either let your servants do just as they
please; or you may be continually in the kitchen, looking
after them. In the latter case, scold them frequently, and in
an audible voice, so as to be heard up-stairs. Never think of
looking to your husband's shirt-buttons; leave that to the
laundress; or, if you mutt attend to his linen, superintend
Your washing in person, and have frequent water-parties;
and, especially in winter, always have the clothes dried be-
fore the parlour fire. If your husband has to go out to a
business dinner, or to the play, never let him have the latch-
key ; and should he, on any occasion, stay out late, send the
servant to bed, sit up for him yourself, and make a merit of
the sacrifice to " the wretch." Have a female confidant, who
will instruct you in all the ill qualities of husbands generally,
and will supply any deficiencies in the above hints. In
conclusion, bear these grand principles in mind—that men
must be crossed and thwarted continually, or they are sire
to be tyrants—that a woman, to have her rights, must
stand up for them—and that the behaviour- which won a
man's affections is by no means necessary to preserve them.
—Punch.

Here a man stepped forward, who stated that he
heard all the particulars of the agreement, and that the
defendant had accurately described what had occurred.
Sir J. PiniE—l see plainly how it is. The driver
thought he had the• Jew upon the hop. It was a ma-
nceuvre between the two whips to do the bridegroom, but
he has resisted the attempt. They thought that a Jew
in such a situation was easily to be imposed upon, and
that he would not stomach any question of his liberality;
but he has very properly refused to submit. 'discharge
the summons.

Complainant—My Lord, I do assure you I knowed
nothing of t'other driver. I hope you'll give me my ex-
penses at any rate.
Sir J. PIRIE-I'll give you no satisfaction, except that
of telling you that the complainant is discharged, and that
you have failed to do the Jew as you -expected.
