any disturbance to the operations of commerce, or of
unsettling the minds and the speculations of commer-
, cial men. Should the result of such an inquiry as he
r solicited be, as undoubtedly it would be, a present
I ostensible reduction of revenue, the increasing product
fof the property-tax would enable the Government to
, I begin the experiment of reduction, without that danger
6 which a more unfavourable condition of the public
, I finances might seem to threaten. On the other hand,
to put these duties on a better and correcter footing
would undoubtedly expand, to a point beyond belief,
the energies and the beneficial returns of the com-
merce of the country. He wished to consider the
import duties as bearing particularly on the question
of protection. Now, so far from protecting our trade,
he would take the liberty of showing that they held
out the most delusive hopes, which were injurious to
the interests, in particular, supposed to be protected ;
and, in general, to the interests of the whole commu-
nity. Then he explained what were the views on
which a State ought to proceed in the management of
its commercial and financial administration, namely,
to obtain the largest amount of revenue for the public
service which it required, and which should be taken
in a manner the least burdensome to the public at
large. National should be dealt with, as nearly as
possible, in the same manner as private interests ; and,
as to the latter, all individual action should be left
free. 'With these notions, the well-known definition
by Mr. RICARDO of the true principles of free trade,
perfectly harmonised. Lord MONTEAGLE, with great
clearness expounded the three classes of duties with
which commercial legislation had to deal. The first,
—a duty for the purposes of revenue—if rightly admi-
nistered, was one which every class ought to derive a
a direct benefit from ; for it was meant to maintain
the honour and establishments of the empire. The
second one was called a countervailing duty :—" If it
could be shown that any class in the community had
burdens peculiar to themselves, it would be the
greatest of all acts of injustice if the State were to
allow articles similar to those produced by this over-
burdened class to be introduced into this country
without payment of duty." He instanced the case of
hops. A fair protection to the British grower, who
paid it, demanded that French or Belgian hops should
not be admitted, except at a higher duty. But the
third and most indefensible duty of all, was a "pro-
' tecting duty," as it was, by a sort of solecism, called;
for, granted to one interest or class of our agricul-
tural or productive industry in particular, it was ne-
cessarily an oppressive or fraudulent duty, charged on
other classes or interests to the same extent. But not
unfrequently it operated to the serious prejudice of the
very party in whose favour it had been created. The
Noble Lord quoted very cogent and apposite extracts
from two eminent fiscal authorities, the one a public
servant of the United States—the other of this Go-
vernment : Mr. CALHOUN, of the United States, and
Mr. DEACON HUME, who for thirty-eight years sate
at the Board of Customs, and for eleven years at the
Board of Trade, equally denounced them in two re-
markable passages, which the Noble Lord read at
length. Having laid these large and solid foundations
for his motion, the Noble Lord incidentally noticed the
"sliding scale" of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S law as being
obnoxious to all the reproaches of inefficiency and ab-
surdity to which other protecting duties are so largely
open. He also contended that, with the exception of
some seven or eight articles out of the 11,000 or
12,000 comprehended in the new tariff, Ministers had
not adhered, in settling that document, to their own
principles of commercial policy, as avowed by them-
selves. Thus, the duty on cotton imported (raw ma-
terial), which was not to have been quite six per
cwt., is kept up at eight, to say nothing of the larger
indirect taxation on yarns, and manufactured goods
for export, into which this new material enters,

expected the happiest effects for the advancement of
its welfare and of the national power."
The dispute between the judges of the Cour Royale
and the neneh bar still remains unsettled. On
Tuesday the Court opened at the usual hour. No
advocate was within the bar but several were stand-
ing in plain clothes at the bottom of the hall. Several
cases in consequence were postponed for a week.
The President at the same time announcing that if
no agreement was come to within that period the
Court would hear the simple statement of the soli-
citors and give judgment without the assistance of
barristers. The following are additional extracts
from the papers :
" The health of the Minister of Finances imperatively re-
quires his departure to take the waters very shortly. The
Minister of the Interior will take the direction of his depart-
ment during his absence. Should the benefit he expects to
derive from the waters not be sufficiently decisive to enable
M. Lacave Laplagne to resume his portfolio on his return,
there must be a change in the Cabinet ; but nothing will be
done before the close of the session. The seat of M. Lacave
Laglagne in the Court of Cassation is, ,as well known re-
served to him."
The Moniker publishes an ordonnance for the execution of
the law of July last, taking off the ordinary duty upon
sprits of wine if adulterated so as to be fit for no other pur-
pose than for lighting. The law having authorised the Go-
vernment to levy a new duty upon the adulterated mixture,
it has fixed the following tariff. In the rural communes llf.

gave abundant credit, however, to the Governmen

tile effect of the prohibition by the Prussian Govern-
ment of all time bargains in railway shares has been very
injurious, it is stated, to the value of those invest-
ments in the German exchanges. Large orders had
been received at Vienna from Berlin for the sale of
shares, and this leading to a sudden and considerable
decline had caused many of the speculators to become de-
faulters.

The examples of Spain and of France supplied him
with powerful illustrations of the hand-in-hand

The Belgian Legislature has recently had rather an im-
portant subject • under consideration, viz., the policy of
allowing -about 7,000,000 kilogrammes of Dutch colo-
nial coffee to come in annually at reduced terms. The
objectors to the proposition contend that the English
merchant will benefit, to the detriment of the Bel-
gian, as we shall extend our commerce with Java, taking
coffee for our . fabrics, and sending the pro-
duce to Rotterdam for sale. This will diminish
the outlet the the cotton fabrics of Ghent, in
Dutch East India, and the reduction intended here on free
grown foreign coffee will, it is urged, favour the competi-
tiun, as the chief difliculty with our merchants is to obtain
profitable returns from Java.

calculated on a forgetfulness of the fact, that if we
did not permit the importation of such sugars direct,
we indirectly, but moat efficiently encouraged the
further production of slave-grown sugar ; as by
admitting, for example, the sugar of Brazil or Cuba,
for re-exportation, and employing it in our consign-
meats to St. Petersburgh. From the case of timber,
he argued that the operation of protective duties was
to substitute an inferior article for a better; and he
condemned the Ministerial policy of remitting, to so
large an extent, the duties on colonial timber, as a
vast but ineffective sacrifice of revenue—not beneficial
to any extent to the colonists themselves, and involv-

but we must again remark that this speech was one

Madrid journals of the 13th have been received.
According to some of them, reports prevailed that the
Cortes would be dissolved on the 10th of July, and the
new Cortes summoned for the 10th of October, when
the QUEEN would attain her real majority. A re-
view of troops, on a grand scale, was to take place at
Madrid in a few days. Deputations from many of
the surrounding provinces bad arrived at Barcelona
to have audiences of their MAJEsTins to present ad-
dresses of congratulation. During the procession of
the Fête Dieu at Barcelona, their MAJESTIES, who
had been visiting some of the churches, met the pro-
cession in the street. They immediately alighted
f:om their carriage, and prostrated themselves before
du. Host in the midst of a large crowd, who were
much moved by this display of religious zeal.

The French Chamber of Deputies, after tedious
discussions, continued for eight days, passed the
Orleans and Bordeaux Railway Bill, on Tuesday, by
a majority of 218 to 56. This Bill authorises the
Government to construct the line only when it shall
be let by public auction to a company, who are to
lay down the rails, build the carriages, &c., according
to certain conditions. The lease is to continue for 4.5
years, and the party contracting are to give security
for the due performance of the work, to the amount
of 2,000,000 f. (80,0001.) Towards the conclusion of
the debate M. CEEMIEUX, a lawyer, moved the tbllow-
ing singular resolution, " that no Member of either
Chamber can be an administrator or contractor on
any line for which a concession is granted."
The resolution, strange to say, met with little oppo-
sition. Two of the Government papers, the Journal
des Debats and the Globe, are decidedly opposed to
the resolution, and little doubt, therefore, remains
that an attempt will be made to rescind the vote. The
former journal thus points cut its absurdity :—" If
the members of both Chambers are not to have the
right of taking part in the administration of a rail-
road, what are the employments or occupations with
which Deputies or Peers may be invested ? Why is
this work to be prohibited more than any other ?
What is there particularly suspicious in the carrying
on of one of those undertakings, which everybody
allows are most highly important for the prosperity
and strength of the country ? And if incompatibi-
lity results from their personal participation, why
should it not be also applicable to that of a bro-
ther or friend ? In a word, to be a legislator,
according to this amendment, the first condition
shall be to possess neither moveable property,
nor landed property, nor manufactory, nor any
business whatever. Nor will this be enough—
a member must also be without family and without
friends. Such is the upshot of this system—it leads
direct to absurdity. The Opposition had, it must be
allowed, without disclosing their design, cleverly
prepared men's minds in favour of this vote, by a
proceeding of which several of the majority, not
perceiving the snare, had become the accomplices and
supporters. A paper had been hawked about, in
which the signers declared themselves to have nothing
to do with any railroad undertaking, and several
Conservatives thought it right to sign. They must
now comprehend what was the object of the paper
thus presented to them. They have had placed be-
fore them to-day the measure of that independence
and patriotism which seize on all pretexts, and avail
themselves of all kinds of passions, to bring about the
failure of those enterprises from which the country

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
STRATFORD V. FLIGNT.
This case came before the Court upon an application to
dissolve an injunction obtained by the plaintiff, restraining
the defendant from proceeding at law upon two bills of ex-
change for 1,0001. each. The case having stood over for
judgment until this morning,
His HONOUR (addressing Mr. Bethel!) said—l have care-
fully read over the defendant's answer, and the whole of the
proceedings in " Stratford v. Flight," and I am of opinion
that there is no equity in the plaintiff's bill as against the
defendant. The order for dissolving the injunction obtained
against the defendant must therefore be made absolute.
Mr. BurnELD—lf your Honour pleases.
[We regret having made some observations the other day
which were founded on an erroneous report of the transac-
tions in this case. It will be seen by the above that the Vice-
Chancellor has given his judgment this morning entirely in
the defendant's favour.—ED. Sun.]
(Before Sir JAMES WIGNAH.)
BENSON V. HADFIELD.
In this case, 'which had stood over from the 3d of Jane
his Honour gave judgment this morning. It was a suit
brought by the acting Directors of the Bahia Steam Naviga-
tion Company against the house of Hadfield and Co., of
. Liverpool and Bahia, to have the accounts taken of the trans-
actions in which the defendants had been engaged, as their
agents in South America.
His HONOUR said he had reserved his judgment upon two
points only. The first was, whether the plaintiffs properly
represented the partnership of which they were the mem-
bers; confining himself upon this p:_,hat to the objection sup-
posed to arise out of the circumstance that, during the course
of the transactions out of which the suit had arisen, there
had been only four instead of six directors of the company,
six being the number required by the partnership deed, and
there were only four directors, parties to the suit at the time
when the bill was filed. There • was no suggestion that the
constitution of the company in that respect had been altered
since the filing of thsfbill. Upon this point he thought the
objection ought not .to prevail. Adverting to the circum-
stances under which the affairs of the company were carried
on since the reduction of the number of directors,
he could not, in favour of a stranger to the company, who,
had had dealings with it, hold that the company was not
well represented for the purposes of the present suit. The
second question was, whether Mr. Wood, formerly a partner
in the house of Armando, Hadfield, and Company, was liable
in respect to transactions which occurred prior to his retire-:
ment from the firm. This question divided itself into two
parts; first, whether he had become discharged altogether,
upon an agreement expressed or implied on the part of the
company, who took the new instead of the old firm as their
creditors ; and, secondly, whether, if Mr. Wood were not so
discharged, he-could object to the bill. The former of these
questions was to he tried strictly upon the rule of plead-
ing with evidence. In deciding this question, it
was most material to look to the form of pleading.
In this case, the defendant had not pleaded any such agree-
ment; he merely set forth his retirement from, the company
in March in 1840, and stated that notice of his retirement,
as well as notice of the incoming of two new partners, had
been given. His Honour, after referring to the pleadings,
said it was impossible that, upon a full consideration of them,
he could hold that Mr. Wood was entitled to a decree, dis-
charging him from his liability. The second question was,
that respecting multifhriouseess. When the bill was filed,
the defendant put in a demurrer for multifariousness, on the
ground that' he had no concern with the transactions of the
firm since his retirement. Lord Langdale, before whom the
demurrer was argued, allowed the demurrer, observing at the
same time, that there might be such a connection between
the new and the old dealings as to give the plaintiff a right
to bring Mr. Wood before the Court, in order that the entire
case might be taken in one suit. With regard to the ques-
tion whether he was to discharge Mr. Wood or pot,
the case was this. Upon the accounts which had
been produced, and upon the case alleged in
the bill, it might turn out that Mr. Wood was properly
a defendant on the record. From the accounts which he had
seen, it was quite impossible that he could hold that the bill
was multifarious, as against Mr. Wood, at the present time.
The only doubt he had had, was on the question whether he
ought to direct any accounts, without prejudice to this ques-
tion, at once, or merely to direct the accounts to be taken.
He could not allow the objection, nor could he usefully or
properly reserve that point for future consideration. With
regard to the other point, he thought this account must be
.directed as prayed by the, bill ; but upon that point, as Mr.
Wood was never an active party in the proceedings, and as
neither party had brought this case before him, so as to en-

COMMON PLEAS. (THIS DAY.)
,Sittings at Nisi Prins before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and
A Special Jury.)
FORTH V. LAWSON.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. James were for the plain-
tiff, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Peacock were for the defendant.
This was an action of libel brought by the Rev. Nathaniel
Forth, against Joseph Lawson, the printer of the Times news-
paper, to recover- compensation in damages for an injury done
to his character as a clergyman, by a paragraph which ap-
peared in the Times newspaper of the 26th July.
The defendant pleaded that he did not publish the libel,
and that the plaintiff was not a clergyman.
The present action originated in paragraph which was
appended to a report of some observations of Mr. Clive, the
magistrate of Wandsworth Police-office. It appeared from
the evidence on the part of the plaintiff that he was ad-
mitted into holy orders in 1803, and was ordained a priest in
1806, and that at subsequent periods he officiated as curate
of St. Sepulchre and of St. George's, Bloomsbury, up
to 1813, but had not officiated since that period
as a clergyman. He afterwards became reduced
in circumstances, and his case being made known, several
sums of money were sent to Mr. Clive, for the use of the
Rev. Gent:eman. In consequence of something which oc-
curred, Mr. Clive announced in the pollee court, that as Mr.
Forth had not appeared to claim the money which had been
sent to him for his use, he would return it to those from whom
he received it, if he knew to whom it belonged ; and
would not receive any more donations for him. Mr. Clive
added that be came to this determination in consequence of
information he received from the Rector of Wandsworth, and
would decline having any further correspondence either with
the Rev. Mr. Forth or his family. The paragraph appended
to this was, "We learn from another source that the Rev.
Mr. Field was suspended some time since by the Bishop of
London, and such suspension, as far as we can learn, has never
yet been taken off." For this paragraph the present action
was brought.
Mr. ITUMPRERY addressed the jury for the defendant. Ile
said that this was an action which should never have been
brought by the plaintiff. He complained that the plaintiff had not denied the truth of what had been said by Mr.
Clive, which would have given him an opportunity
of calling Mr. Clive and the resident Rector of
Wandsworth. From what had been said by Mr.
Clive, there was nobody who would not think that there
had been something worn in the conduct of Mr. Forth than

CLERKENWELL.--:(THIS DAY.)
Hannah Kelly, an old blind woman, with a little boy in her
hand, was charged with begging.
The prisoner, seems to be an incorrigible mendicant, who
was brought before Mr. Greenwood yesterday, and it was
proved that she had been begging with a sort of written pe-
tition. She was pardoned on that occasion, but this morn-
ing Police-constable 8S N found her begging in High-street,
' Islington with the very same petition which the constable,
who had her in charge on the previous day, had imprudently
allowed her to regain possession of. •
Haunt, the Master of the Clerkenwell Workhouse, said
she had been a pauper in the workhouse; she was com-
fortably fed and clothed, but discharged herself.
The MAGISTRATE asked her what st:e had to say P—The
prisoner replied, that she was striving to collect some money
to take her over to her nephew, who lived on the other side
of the river.
Mr. GREENWOOD, in consideration of her age and infirmity,
sent her to the Clerkenwell workhouse.
Ayoung man, named French, a pauper in the Clerkenwell
workhouse, was charged with the following outrageous con-
duct. The prisoner,who has been repeatedly convicted at this
Court for gross misconduct in the workhouse, became dis-
orderly at the dot,r.orf the previous night, and when desired
to leave, had the brutality to strike a poor weak-minded
pauper, named llounley, a violent blow on the forehead, and
used bad language.—Committed for ten days.

EEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Charles Smith, a mechanic, was charged with disorderly
conduct at the Members' entrance of the House of Commons
last evening. He was drunk, and obstructed the Members,
a number of whom were at the time going in and out of the
House. When requested, to walk, on by a policeman, he
offered to fight him. He was' taken into custody, and was
not conveyed to the station-house without difficulty.
The defendant said he was sorry for his conduct. lie had
been to witness the regatta, and had drank too freely.—He
was fined ss.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.).
• Mr. Studley, a gentleman residing at Brixton, who was
robbed by Mary Whitburn, his servant, of money and
articles of jewellery, amounting to upwards of 100/., made
the following application.
The applicant stated, that the prisoner Whitburn was
tried and convicted at the late sessions of the Central Cri-
minal Court, and sentenced to ten years' transportation: That
since the robbery he ascertained that she was a woman of
the most profligate habits, had robbed the families in whose
service she lived, and although her mother was aware of the
vicious conduct of her daughter, still she gave her an ex-
cellent character to him ; said that she was sober, honest, and
industrious, and endowed with all. the qualifications necessary
for service in agentleman's family. Owing to the character
thus given of the convict by her mother, the applicant took
her into his service, and she was not in her situation more
than three weeks, when she plundered him of property to
the above amount. The applicant added that his object now
was to punish the mother for giving her daughter a fictitious
character, and Ails enabling her to rob her employers.
Mr. Dumf., said the mother certainly deserved a severe
punishment for the manner hi which she acted on the occa-
sion, but he regretted to sffy that she was not amenable to
the law, as she had not given the character in writing.
Mr. Studley having expressed his regret at the informa-
tion, then withdrew.
