NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE. BY G. P. R. JAMES'S, ESQ. The spirit of free bold inquiry that has been so rife
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols. post Bvo.,

HISTORICAL ROMANCE, of late years, and which is rather the ally
AN than the antagonist of true religion, is abhorent
By G JAMES, Esq.,
Author of " Darnley," "De L'Orme," " Rose D'Albret," &e. to these zealots, who, if they possessed the power—
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.which we can confidently assure them they never
will possess—would check the progress of the human
mind in every direction, and put a stop to all legiti-
mate freedom of thought and action, from an appre-
hension, certainly not ill-founded, that it would prove
injurious to their arbitrary and unwarranted pre-
tensions. Plausible as are its professions, lofty as are
its claims, disinterested, to all appearance at least, as
are its motives, and sagacious as are its advocates in
their capacity of Divinity sophists, Tractarianism is
neither more nor less than a crusade against common
sense—a dictatorial attempt to check the advance of
the human mind by subjecting it, by slow and artful
degrees, to the uncontrolled, irresponsible dominion
of priestcraft. Surely our Bishops, as men deeply in-
terested in the temporal welfare of the Church, should
at once actively interfere in order to put a atop to
these childish—but, alas ! dangerous also—freaks of
the Tractarians ! But instead of this, we find them
doing---what ? Actually throwing the weight of
their influence into the scales of Tractarianism ! We
do not mean to say that all the Prelates are guilty of
such injudicious conduct, but certainly two of the
cleverest and most active of their number are ob-
noxious to the charge of so acting. We allude, of
course, to the Bishops of LONDON and EXETER—
par nobile fratrum /—one of whom, by his ri-
diculous behaviour on the subject of the :offer-
tory, and the other by his still more ridicu-
lous judgment in the case of the Rev. WALuan
BLUNT, of Helston, have inflicted a world of mischief
on the best interests of the Church Establishment.
We anticipate a vast increase in the ranks of Dissent
from the ill-judged and ill-timed officiousness of these
twin episcopal luminaries, who seem to be on the
most distant terms of acquaintance with common
sense, and to be endowed with the very extraordinary
and peculiar power of moving in no direction but a
wrong one ! SHAKSPEARE'S complaint admirably
applies to them :

without interest at 611 at 60 days.

N 0 TICE.-COLONEL MAXWELL'S
ADVENTURES.
The new work entitled " MY ADVENTURES," by COLONEL
MONTGOMERY MAXWELL, K.H., commanding the 36th Regt.,
will be published in a few days, in 2 vols. small Svo., price 21s. bound.
Orders received by all Booksellers.

Several of the Paris papers publish the letter from
Otaheite, which appeared in the English journals a
few days since, and express some indignation at the
imputations cast on the French officers. This is only
what might have been expected, for the writer evi-
dently had a strong bias against the present occupants,
and made insinuations against them, to say the least,
not very probable. The Constitutionnel, in adverting
to the subject, says, "The letter, which is as odious as
it is ridiculous, can meet with nothing but contempt
from every right feeling mind in France and in Eng-
land." The National refuses to sully its pages by the
insertion of the letter, and perhaps this is the best way
to treat these exparte statements which are often
full of exaggeration, and occasionally not founded on
facts. Some of the journals express regret that
France should ever have taken such useless and dis-
tant settlements under her protection, and throw no
little blame on the Government for its want of fore-
sight. Admiral DUPETIT Titou.uts, it appears, has
no wish to return to France at present. " A letter
from that officer," says the Presse, " announces that
the news of his disavowal has reached him, and that
being left at liberty to return to France, either directly
or in about two years, after accomplishing a voyage,
he has determined on adopting the latter course."
The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho-
rising the Minister of the Interior to open an extra-
ordinary credit of 240,000 francs (9,60010, to defray
the expense of the experiment of an electric telegraph
on a railroad of at least 24 leagues (60 miles) in
length. The experiment, it is said, will be made on
the Paris and Rouen line.
The following literary gossip appears in the
Paris Globe :
" M. Dujarrier, the proprietor of the Presse, has taken
M. Alexander Dumas upon lease at 60,000 f. a year. The
Constitutionnel announces to-day that it has acquired the
exclusive property of M. Eugene Sue—we know not at
what price, but we believe that he is to hare a share in
the property of the paper. The proprietors of the Cour-
rier Francais have offered M. Victor Hugo half the pro-
perty of their journal for his novel entitled Quiquen-
grone.' But it is not only the novel that the daily press
absorbs, it is also the higher walks of literature and his-
tory. The aforesaid M. Dujarrier has just bought for
80,000 f. in cash, and an annuity of 4,000 f., M. de Cha-
teaubriand's `Memoires d'Outre-Tombe.' Thus that book
which, like a will, was to have appeared but after the
death of the writer of Rene,' and 'Les Martyrs,' will be
published during the life of the testator between a feuil-
(don of fashions and theatricals. This is not all. It is,
at this moment, contemplated publishing M. Thiers
History of the Empire' in the shape offeuilletons in the
Constitutionnel. The bargain is proceeding ; if M.
Thiers do but consider the hopes of a portefeuille as dis-
tant, he will assent to the arrangement. From that mo-
ment the bargain may be considered as concluded. Thus
journalism will, ere long, absorb politics, the novel, high
literature, history, and science."
The subjoined letter from Bayonne, dated the
21st instant, appears in the Constitutionnel
:
'• News has just been received here that great agita-
tion reigns in Upper Aragon and at Saragossa, and
that two small towns have reared the standard of revolt
and declared against the Government, after having dis-
armed two companies of the Bourbon regiment and a
company of carabineers. We have no positive accounts
of Zurbano. Official reports from the authorities and
Consuls intimate that he has crossed the Ebro and got
into Navarre, while from other sources we are assured
that the intrepid guerilla is in Old Castile, marching
upon Lower Aragon, by Morella, where he hopes to
raise some partizans. We are assured that the Basque
provinces are to be put in a state of siege, which will be
a violation of their fueros. Tho authorities on the fron-
tier have been recommended to observe the strictest
surveillance."
Very little business was done in the funds at TOR-.
TONI'S on Sunday. The Three per Cents. were
quoted at 83f.
M. DE LAMARTINE, the eloquent Member for Ma-
con, has just published a long dissertation on the
principles which actuate his party as contrasted with
those of the Opposition under M. TRIERS. The fol-
lowing spirited attack on the ex-President of the
Council contains much truth :
" Could we make common cause with him ? No, we
may be left for a moment in an isolated condition, but
we are reflecting men. We are not acting the mounte-
bank before the people. We respect the people too much
to attempt to amuse them. So far from that, we have the
courage to tell them some useful truths, even when we
know that they are far from being palatable to them at the
moment. Thus, we spurned to sing the
during three months, to demand levies of mon en masse,
and to make the pillars of the tribune vibrate, on a pal-
try question of religion, which had arisen between a
Methodist missionary and some Catholic missionaries,
supported, right or wrong, by a French officer, at a dis-
tance of some thousand leagues from France, on an im-
perceptible islet of the Pacific Ocean. re did not
attempt to seek so far and so low the stumbling-block,
a thousand times accursed, which might shake the peace
of the world sad stain savage shores with European
blood. It is not on that miserable shoal that the
peace of Europe can run aground, if it be over to be
broken. There are noble fields on the Rhine, and a
valuable prey to contend for on the banks of the Medi-
terranean. The Romans there conquered empires ; our
noisy politicians fall furiously upon a rock of which Eng-
land does not even deign to dispute the possession. You
would not go to war when war was at your gates, for a
grand cause in the East, and you wanted to make Ota-
heite a cause of war ! Why ? Because you well knew
that war could not grow out of that question ! Thus,
likewise, when the king went to England, to return the
visit of a young Queen who had come last year to pre-
sent to him a pledge of good harmon7, and remove by
her presence the painful recollection of the treaty of the
15th of July, my friends did not attack the Ministry
for allowing royal politeness to :be returned by the
King of the most polite nation in the universe. We did
not blame the King for smoothing as much as in his
power the thorny path on which diplomacy too often
comes into collision. We certainly conceived that the
clock of the Tuileries was some weeks in advance ; we
should have preferred that symptomatic journey to have
been postponed for a month or two. We condemned
the Ministry for omitting to completely terminate the
affair of Morocco, and for neglecting to obtain, at the
risk of displeasing England, full reparation, guarantees,
and the expenses of the war before it permitted the
King to embark ; but that blame, which merely at-
tached to Ministers, did not induce us to view with ill-
will the meeting of two Sovereigns, representing the
high sympathies of two great nations, and establish-
jug a friendly feeling between them, notwithstanding
the rivalry of their Governments. We are more philo-
sophers than politicians, or rather our politics are but
the philosophy of humanity. We have not sifted words
of mutual peace, to seek in them susceptibilities, motives
of hatred or snares, as if too many did not already exist
among nations. We frankly applauded, if not all
.the
expressions, at least the general tonour of the King's
speeches in England. In order to judge them impar-
tially, we placed ourselves in a situation where we were
neither influenced by the feelings of the moment nor
blinded by party spirit ; we'estimated them from what
might be their probable results ; and we could not but
admire a pacific King boldly raising the standard of
union between the two nations, above international pre-
judices, and employing the voice of France to proclaim
the dogma of concord. The mission he assumed ap-
peared to us not timid, but novel and daring ; for it is
more difficult to prevail on the French nation to listen
to reason than to glory. No, we considered also shame
on the part of a Sovereign to use the throne as themost ele-
vated point between nations, whence to proclaim, supported
by 30,000,000 armed citizens, a desire to maintain
European harmony, to avow a desire to see peace con-
solidated, and to admit and approve the dogma of re-
spect for human blood, and the happiness of nations. A
King acting such a part, raises himself to the level of a
philosopher. We offer no opposition to philosophy, even
when it becomes identified, either by chance or by good
luck, with the person of a king. In every other respect
we pursued nearly the same line as did the Opposition.
We differ from them, however, on one point, for we ex-
pect no better from the Ministry that may be chosen
from its ranks, than from the Ministry it attacks. The
cause of liberty seeking its avenger in the Minister of
the laws of September, and the cause of national dignity
personified in the Minister of 1840, and committed to
the safe keeping of the man who recalled our fleet from
the Levant, and signed the note of the Bth of October !
This, in my opinion, would be to carry the jest too far,
and to insult with too much effrontery the good sense
of the country. But if the county wishes it—if it amuse
the Opposition—we have nothing to say to it. In a
comedy there is an actor for every part. Our affairs
are conducted on a similar principle. We are wrong to
regard with seriousness, liberty, revolution, and the gran-
deur of our revolution. It is an error, but an error which
history will share with us."

"Man, vain man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven
As make the angels weep !"

While the Conservatives of the great county of
Durham are split into distinct sections, and squabbling
among each other with such evident heartiness, that
it would scarcely appear possible that there could
ever be an entire re-union of the party, the Conserva-
tives of Bristol are not less troubled with internal
divisions, which, as might be anticipated, have had
the effect of very considerably reducing their num-
bers, and impairing their efficiency. At a late meet-
ing of the members of the fraternity which took place
in that city, the Chairman made more than one allu-
sion to these divisions, observing that he was per-
fectly aware of their existence which, indeed, it was
impossible to deny, and that they were chiefly to be
dated from the period of the last election. But a
gentleman, named SHAW, spoke out still more frankly
on the subject, and urged the following remarkable
argument as a reason why the Bristol Conservatives
should put an end to their feuds, and once again hang
closely together, like so many onions on a rope :
" He felt the time had come," said this plain-spoken
gentleman, "when either they must be entirely anni-
hilated as a party, or once more be re-united ; it
would be a waste of time to enter into the cause
of the divisions which had so much injured
the party, dissevering its members and pros-
trating its strength. Through their heartlessness and
want of energy, what had they not lost in the shape of
patronage .? By their not being able to return two
Members at the last election they had lost a considerable
portion of that patronage which it was usual for the
Minister to give his friends ' In the above passage
the few expressive words which we have marked in
italics give us a clear insight into the real character
of Bristol Conservatism, which we take for granted
differs in no respect from Conservatism in any other
place. It seems, then, according to Mr. Saw's candid
definition, that a Conservative association is a gathering
together of certain quick-witted individuals for the pur-
pose of promoting their own personal interests, and try-
ing what they can screw from the fears or prudence of
the Ministry by their political influence as a compact,
united confederacy. No nobler object do they pro-
pose to themselves by their union. There is nothing
like disinterested patriotism in the case. As for
principle, this is a matter only to be talked about, not
to be acted on. The sole principle of action they
recognise, is the very pleasant and convenient one of
helping themselves to as many of the good things of
place and power as the Minister—having previously
had value received from them in the shape of elec-
tioneering support, &c.—throws in their way. Aide
toi, et ciel ti aidera—in other words, look to Number
One—is their motto. Church and State—PoEn and
our glorious Constitution—these are specious ques-
tions enough to act as a blind—to be thrown out as a
tub to amuse that great whale, the public ; but Num-
ber One is the question of questions—the only one
worthy of serious consideration. Unite, then, Con-
servatives of Bristol, unite by all means, for thus only
will you be enabled to wring from the Minister a fair
share of patronage! If you quarrel among yourselves,
you will lose your power; and if you lose your power
you will, as a necessary consequence, lose your chance
of getting a snug slice or two of the loaves and fishes !
See what you have already lost by your foolish dis-
sensions! Had you acted harmoniously together at
the last election you might have returned two
Members for Bristol, but instead of this you only
returned one, consequently you lost "a considerable
portion of that patronage which it is usual for the
Minister to give his friends !" Such is the candid
and communicative Mr. Suaw's advice to his brother
Conservatives, and we thank him for his honest,
downright plain-speaking, for it confirms us in an
impression which we have long entertained—namely,
that the principle of Conservatism, like that of Mo-
nopoly, is essentially one of selfishness. These Tories
in a masquerade dress profess a great deal, but when
you call on them to put in practice what they preach,
you find them utterly wanting in good faith and con-
sistency. They talk about snaking a stubborn stand
for " things as they are," at the very moment when
they are maintaining the doctrine of expediency,
which, they well know, will compel the Premier to
give us "things as they ought to be," the instant the
pressure from without becomes sufficiently powerful.
In a word, while in their speeches they make a vast
parade of their independence, in their acts they show
themselves the mere obsequious tools of Sir R. PEEL,
Just now the majority of them are strenuously
opposed to the Corn-law, but let the Premier once
issue the word of command, and they will instantly
falsify all their hustings pledges on the subject, and
swallow Free-trade with as much apparent readiness,
and even relish, as an Alderman swallows turtle soup

NIONTE VIxG moved, as an amendment, that the
functions of senators should be hereditary, in certain
aristocratic families. Senor GALIANO opposed the
amendment, on the ground that aristocracy no longer
existed in Spain, and that it could not be revived
by a law in defiance of public opinion. The
Minister of the Interior also spoke against
the motion, and said the Government in pre-
paring the measure, had not lost sight of the
conspicuous part which the nobility had acted in the
history of Spain, while they, at the same time,
looked to the present state of society, which did not

permit a larger share of power to be given to the

aristocracy than that contained in the Bill. The
amendment was rejected by a majority of 88
against 60.

According to some accounts, ZURBANO had en-
tered the town of S,aria, where he was well received
by the inhabitants, and where he, of course, took
an opportunity of showing his cruel disposition. The
political chief had, according to orders issued, pub-
lished a decree by which ZURBANO, on being taken
prisoner and identified, was to be immediately shot.
ZURBANO immediately ordered the unfortunate poli-
tical chief himself to be shot, and the order was car-
ried into execution. Saragossa had been declared in
a state of siege. The Castellano states that at Cadiz,
on the 14th, the revolutionists had been tampering
with the garrison of that city, and that General ARAOZ,
who was on his way to Cuba, had been arrested and i
mprisoned in the fort of St. Catherine. Many other
arrests had been made in the south.
The Three per (~nts, were done at 271 for cash, ,

A KIND LANDLORD.-At the last rent audit Mr.
Byng, M.P., made a reduction of 101., 20/, and 30/. per
cent., according to the exigencies of Lis tenantry.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER, Alderman CHALLIS, &c.)
Charles Wilson and John White, the first thirty
years of age, and the latter twenty, both labourers, were
indicted for stealing sheep at Lewisham. They severally
pleaded Guilty.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the
circumstances attending the transaction for which they
stood before the Court sufficiently proved that it was not
a solitary instance of felony. This opinion was further
strengthened by the fact,thatin their residence in London
a quantity of wool was found, and they could give no
good account of themselves to justify the Court in sup-
posing that hunger had prompted them to the act in
question. The sentence of the Court was that they be
transported for ten years.
Caroline Berry and Elizabeth Phasey were charged
with stealing a brooch, a pair of ear-rings, a ring, and
dress, valued at 2001., the property of John Goldie, the
master of the latter prisoner.
Mrs. Elizabeth Georgiana Goldie, 39, Baker-street,
Portman-square, said the latter prisoner was servant
with her. Witness left town about the latter end of
June, and returned in October, Phasey, during her ab-
sence, being left in charge of the house. She had ob-
tained permission to bring the charwoman (Berry)
occasionally into the house. The jewellery was kept in a
wardrobe in the front room, which on her return she found
open, and Phasey on being questioned, said, that;the door
had been unlocked, and when the articles were ascer-
tained to be stolen, she saidrithat possibly Berry, or a man
named Payne, whom she had known in Leamington, and
who had slept once or twice in tho house, might have
taken them. She observed no marks of violence upon the
cupboards.
William Henry Clarke, was in the employ of Mr.
Dobree, pawnbroker, Gilbert-street. The prisoner
Berry came to the shop alone on the 16th September,
and pledged the brooch in question. She said she had
brought it from Madame Davis, and asked 3s. upon it.
The foreman was also present, and he also saw the
brooch. She came again on the 18th, and wanted Bs. in
addition upon the brooch.
By the RECORDER—The brooch had not before been
examined to ascertain its proper value. She came again
on the 19th, and said that Madame Davis wanted 255. on
the ear-rings and brooch,!saying that: they had before
been pledged for 30s. The prisoner said that they were
paste, and her account was taken. They had not in-
quired whether they were the property of Madame
Davis, who lived in Gilbert-street, for they had had
pledges from the same house in a French name.
Elizabeth Sarah Goldie—Before the family went out
of town she examined the wardrobe, and observed the
jewel-boxes, locked the wardrobe, put the key into
another wardrobe, and locked that also. Carried the
key into the country, and gave it to her mother. There
were two bolts on one of the folding-doors of the ward-
robe—one at the top and one at the bottom—which had
been fastened before she left town, but were found opened
when she returned. She did not observe the marks of
any instrument, as if the bolts had been forced. It was
a patent lock.
By the RECORDER--The lady's maid was present
when the wardrobes were locked.
George Wm. Bilson, shopman with Mr. Barker, of 21,
Great Portland-street, produced a silk dress pawned by
the prisoner Berry, in the name of Madame Maltazzi, of
Nassau-street. It was pledged for 30s.
James Golder, with Mr. Beam, of Munster-street,
produced the ring, which he could not swear was pledged
by either of the prisoners.
Mrs. Geldie identified all the property.
Sergeant Thompson, 4 D, took Berry into custody.
She said she did not steal the jewellery, and would not
say who did, as " she would not wish to transport
any body ; she would sooner drown herself in the
Serpentine." After taking her to the station-house, he
went with constable Ross to her room, and found a
variety of duplicates relating to the property.
Ross, 157 D, went to Baker-street, and took Phasey
into custody. On the way to the station-house she ad-
mitted having taken one of the young ladies' boas, and
having worn it a little.
Edward Payne has been living " in place," but had
" been out" for thirteen months. Knew Mr. Goldie's
laundry-maid (the prisoner Phasey), and called to see
her. He slept in the house three or four times.
He did not always sleep in the same room ;
upon one occasion another man slept in the house.
Captain Goldio was also there, and witness made him-
self' generally useful to him while in the house. One
evening Phasey desired him to go into one of the rooms,
and bring her a boa. He went into both front and back
rooms and found one of the wardrobes open. He went
out with Phasey twice, on one occasion leaving Berry
behind, and on the other leaving the house empty. The
time might be about the 9th of September.
This witness was cross-examined by Mr. B,&LLAN-
TINE, but nothing particular elicited.
The jury were then addressed at considerable length
by Mr. Ballantine, on behalf of the prisoner Phasey ;
and the Recorder having, in summing up, pointed out
that though there was scandalous inattention exhibited
on her part towards her employers, yet that the whole
evidence did not show her once as having come in con-
tact with the stolen property, and that Berry had
been the instrument employed to pledge that
property in fictitious names at the different pawn-
brokers, and that she had ample opportunity, if so in-
clined, to be a principal in the robbery.
The jury consulted, and after some little time returned
a verdict of " Guilty of larceny" against the former and
" Not guilty" against the latter. ,
The COURT then passed a sentence of transportation
for seven years.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.
QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord DENMAN and a
Middlesex Common Jury.)
THOMAS V. LEVI AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought to test the validity of a
bill of sale given by Mr. Sawyer, an attorney, to the
plaintiff, who is also an attorney, conveying to the plain-
tiff Sawyer household furniture in his house at Hornsey.
The defendants were two judgment creditors of Sawyer,
who had put executions into his house at Hornsey,
where they were met by this bill of sale to Tho-
mas. The case for the plaintiff was proved by'
calling the attesting witness to the bill of sale, and by
calling the plaintiff's son, who gave evidence as to cer-
tain pecuniary transactions between his father and Saw-
yer. On the cross-examination of young Mr. Thomas,
however, it was elicited that Sawyer himself was in Court;
that he had been subpoenaed by the plaintiff, but that it
was not intended to call him. Some strong observations
were made on this circumstance by Mr. Watson, in his
address to the jury, for the defendants.
Lord DENMAN having summed up, the jury retired,
and after a short absence, found a verdict for the de-
fendants.

Mr. Platt conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Watson and Mr. Sergeant Jones appeared for the do•
fendants.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins.)
The sittings after term commenced this day, before
Mr. Justice Cresswell and a Common Jury.
ROBERTS V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS.
This was an action for assault and trespass. The
plaintiff is a widow, whose husband had carried on the
business of a broker and furniture-dealer, in Wink-
worth-place, City-road. The husband died in October
last year. In the January following, two of the de-
fendants, Harding and another, applied for the rent due
to the landlord, Mr. Taylor, up to that time, and not
receiving it, made a formal seizure of the goods on the
premises, but took no inventory. They then went away,
and in a few days afterwards returned and took an in-
ventory, but again quitted possession. In some days
further they returned and took away the furniture and
some fixtures in a van. Thoy also forcibly expelled the
plaintiff and her daughter, and it was alleged by the
plaintiff's witnesses, that in the scuffle one of the defen-
dants, Harding, bit the old woman in the arm.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd conducted the case for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Channell appeared for the
defence.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, in summing up, told the jury
that the question of the legality of the distress must be
reserved for the Court above, but still it would be neces-
sary for them to find the value of the goods, estimated
by the plaintiff's witnesses at 301. They would also
find what reasonable damages they might consider the
plaintiff entitled to, if they believed that the defendant
Harding so far forgot himself as to bite the poor woman,
in the violence which the resistance offered might other-
wise excuse.

The jury retired to consider their verdict, and had no
agreed when we went to press.

BARROW V. FRANKLIN.
The plaintiff in this case is a major in the army on
half pay. The defendant is a cab proprietor, and was
married to Major Barrow's niece, with whom he lived
unhappily, so much so, that in the course of two years
she left him, and took refuge with her uncle, who main-
tained her and her child until she obtained a divorce in
the Consistory Court, with alimony of 50/. a year. The
plaintiff also lent her 201. to enable her to go into busi-
ness. For the expense of boarding the wife and child
this action was brought.
Witnesses for the plaintiff proved these facts, and the
case was proceeding when we went to press.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
.Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before the LORD
CHIEF BARON.)
MOAT V. DRARBELL.
This was an action to recover damages for the breach
of an engagement under an indenture of apprenticeship.
Mr. Crowder, Q.C., and Mr. M. Smith appeared for
the plaintiff, and the action was undefended.
It appeared that the plaintiff in the action, who was
a surgeon, became desirous of apprenticing his nephew,
whose father was dead, to some business or profession.
Accordingly, in August, 1842, he apprenticed him for a
term of five years to the defendant, who carried on the
business of a patent axle-tree maker, at No. G, Allsop's-
buildings, Dover-road. During this time the de-
fendant was to teach, clothe, and feed the nephew
of the plaintiff. Up to the month of December in the
same year the youth was employed in a very humble
department of the business, that of cutting boxes ; but
at that time the business stopped, and until the follow-
ing March he was left without employment. In March
of the following year the defendant commenced business
at Poplar, and, in consequence, the apprentice resumed
his work. He was engaged for seven months in carry-
ing heavy weights from Allsop's-buildings to Poplar.
Some accident then befel him, and be was obliged to
go to his uncle's to be cured. Communications having
subsequently taken place between the plaintiff's solicitor
and the defendant, as to the manner in which the ap-
prentice bad been treated, the defendant confessed, in
consequence of the state of his affairs, he was not able
to teach him his business. On being asked to return a
part of the premium, he said he was not in a condition to
do so. Under these circumstances the plaintiff re-ap-
prenticed his nephew to an engineer, and paid a fresh
premium of 801.
The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintift—Da
images 80/., costa 40s.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Anne Holmes was charged with wilfully breaking seven
panes of glass in the Clerkenwell workhouse.
Mr COMBE sentenced her, in default of the payment
of the fine, to a month's imprisonment and bard labour.
A travelling tinman, named Walker was charged with
threatening to stab police-constable 427 N.
The prisoner was creating a disturbance in the Lower-
road, Islington, between eleven and twelve on the pre-
vious night, when the constable interfered. The prisoner
swore that if he did not go off at once he would draw his
knife and stab him, and put his hand in his pocket for
his knife.

PREROGATIVE COURT.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir HERBERT JENNER PINT.)
The Court sat this morning for the purpose of hear-
ing motions for probate, and other ordinary business.
In the case of the testament of Alexander Petre a
motion for probate was made under the following circum-
stances :—lt appeared that the testator duly executed
before witnesses his will in February, 1843, to which it
was alleged that he had subsequently appended several
codicils, amongst which was one said to have been exe-
cuted in the month of August, 1843, by which he be-
queathed certain personal property to his two executors,
but on the face of this document, which was written
upon two sheets of paper, the affidavits on the part of the
next of kin alleged that there appears an erasure after
the letters, 1843 being the date of the codicil, and that a
large space intervened between the termination of the
codicil, on the one side of the sheet of paper, and the
signature of the testator and witnesses upon the other.
It was further asserted that this document was originally
intended as a codicil to a will, which will he had made
previous to the date of 1843, and was, therefore, inserted,
and that the testator was unable to leave his house,
or otherwise transact business since 1843.
I The COURT in pronouaeing judgment said, there was
no proof of the publication of any subsequent document,
betide the codicil became invalidated by the alteration of
the month and year without due attestation. It had also
been proved that the testator had been unable to leave
his house during the greater part of the year 1843, and
under all the circumstances of the case, the Court felt
bound to reject the motion for probate.
In the case of the will of John Smith, a similar motion
for probate was made, and, after hearing the learned
advocates on both sides, was also rejected.
Several other motions in which there appeared no
points of general interest, were also disposed of during
the morning.

In default of fine, the prisoner was committed for
five days.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY
HAT MARMOTS.

CHAMPION2/7"--IVOODGATE.
SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
1 This was an action for goods sold and delivered, in
which the plaintiff is the landlord of the Kemble Tavern,
Bow-street, and the defendant is an upholsterer in Sey-
mour-street, Somers-town.
It appeared that Mr. Champion and Mr. Woodgate
had had frequent dealings with each other, and that in
December, 1843, defendant called upon plaintiff, and
said that he had an order for him, and he requested him
to send some goods to a Miss Stock's, with whom he (de-
fendant) had often had dealings. Plaintiff said that he
could not credit a person whom he did not know, but if
Mr. Woodgate would be answerable for the money he
had no objection to credit him. Defendant replied that
he had dealings with Miss Stock to the amount of 30/.,
and that he thought plaintiff would be safe in trusting
her. Ile said also that he had 21., which he would pay
on account. The goods were accordingly sent, and Miss
Stock having since become insolvent, plaintiff brought
this action against Mr. Woodgate, to recover the sum of
51. 55., balance of account.
It was proved by papers put in in evidence, that Mr.
Champion had paid Mr. Woodgate for a feather bed he
had purchased of him, as late as June, 1844, and
Mr. Tuomas, who appeared for defendant, said thatlif the
debt had been between defendant and plaintiff, it would
have been settled at that time, and that if Mr. Wood-
gate had intended to take upon himself the responsibility
of this debt, an agreement to that effect should have
been made in writing.
The SHERIFF, in summing up, said, that the point for
the jury was, whether or not it was agreed between the
parties either that the debt should be paid by defendant,
if Miss Stock` failed to pay it, or that defendant should
take the debt:Upon himself unconditionally. An agree-
meat to pay another person's debt, if they fail to pay it,
was not lawful, unless made in writing ; but if defendant
agreed to pay the debt unconditionally, then he was
liable.
The jury found that the defendant was not liable.

COLONX&L
SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation is heavy
and very little business has been done, only about 350
hhds having found buyers, inclusive of those sold by
auction, and previous prices were barely supported. The
public sales have consisted chiefly of 320 casks, 125
barrels, St. Lucia ; 5,817 bags, 232 casks, Mauritius
(chiefly of the new crop); 2,810 bags Bengal ; and
687 baskets Java. The St. Lucia, Mauritius, and
Bengal, went off without spirit, and only part of
the former sold at 53s Gd to 61s for good brown
to good bright yellow, being for the inferior sorts
fully 6d cheaper. Nearly all the Mauritius and
Bengal found buyers, the former at 55s to 67s 6d for low
to very fine strong yellow, and low to fine brown 45s to
54s 6d, which are comparatively good prices, more par-
ticularly for the better descriptions ; the latter partly
sold at 53s to 55s 6d for low to good mid yellow, but
soft being at fully previous rates ; the remainder was
taken in above the value. The Java sold briskly at 19s

IN RE HENRY GALWAY.
This was an application on the part of the insolvent,who was a surgeon and apothecary, practising in Ken-
sington, to be admitted to bail until the day appointed
for his final hearing.
It appeared by his schedule that the amount of his
debts and liabilities was about 1,7001., and that he was
entitled to the reversionary interest in certain freehold
property in Berkshire, alto!: the death of his wife, which
would more than realise a sum sufficient to liquidate all his liabilities.
Bail having justified, the application was granted.
The Court then rose.

The Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Harrowby,
Earl Talbot, Earl of Dartmouth, Earl of Bradford,
Viscount Sandon, the Hon. Colonel Howard, Sir J. and
Lady Yarde Buller, and Mr. E. Buller, M.P., have con-
tributed largely to the fund for the erectien of a new
district church at Forsbrook and the adjacent village of
Blythe Marie, Staffordshire, the church accommodation

For obvious reasons the facts connected with the rob-
bery of the banking-house of Messrs. Rogers and Co.
were kept with the greatest possible secrecy until a late
hour yesterday, and then only through the medium of
the Mansion-house, and an official statement through
the solicitors employed to conduct the inquiry. It was,
indeed, not long before the close of business at the Stock
Exchange that the fullest extent of this enormous
robbery was known. We understand that assistance was
immediately tendered to the firm. The business goes on
as usual. As all that has yet transpired is most
sacredly kept from the public, it would be worse
than useless—nay, dangerous in the extreme, to
give any of the rumours that are current relative
to this extraordinary circumstance. As The Sun
was the only paper that had full particulars of the
notes, &c., stolen, it was in great request yesterday
afternoon. There is a numerous attendance of persons
at the Mansion-house to-day, in the expectation that
something may have transpired to give the " where-
abouts" of the thief or thieves ; but up to mid-day
nothing whatever had been stated.
There are not any arrivals in the City to-day from
the British Colonies or elsewhere, of importance. In
fact, the delinquency above referred to, is the almost
sole engrossing topic of conversation in monetary and
other circles this morning, The general opinion is,
that the parties to the robbery made their way imme-
diately after the robbery to the continent. The most
active means have been taken to apprehend the robbers.
Stocks continue very firm, but there is very little
doing. Consols are 1004 for Money and Time.
Exchequer Bills realise 60s. to 625. premium, and India
Bonds under I,OOOZ 82s. to 84s, premium. Bank Stock
is 206 to 206 k, being a further advance. India Stock has
been steady at 2861. The New Three and-a Quarter
per Cents. are 102 to 1024, and the Three: per Cents.
at 99i to 991.
The Foreign Investments share the dullness of our
own Market. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 234
to 24k, and the Three per Cents. 35 to 35it ; Portuguese
Converted are 541 ; Mexican Bonds are a little firmer,
being 354 to 35i ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half Cents. have
been quoted 63 to 63k, and the Four per Cents. 96k
to 97.
The Railway Shares have been steady generally, but
there is only a limited business doing. Some of the new
lines maintain their value, while others have dropped
lately.
