'ine bent Assizes bor this eou:tty commenced here to-day. The LoaRD CHIEF JUSTICE presided on the Civil side, and the Ho}I Xlr. Justice BEST on the Crown side. WELLS V. SYGULDEN. This was an action on the 55th Geo. .Il, to recover penalties agains-t tne defendant, as an overseer, for supplying the pDoor Of the parish of Cranboume with butcher's meat, for his own profit, and while fn office. It appeared in evidence that the defendant had been in office two years, as overseer of Cranbourne and durlng that time had, in his busiaess of a butcher, supplied tihe workhouse witn meat for 'ts in- mates, and was paid the amount. It was suggested that on one oc- casion he had sent part of the carcass of a calf which had been pre. maturely lhilled in consequence of disease, but of 'this there was no distinct proof. For the defence, the only point taken wass that as there was an- ,.ssistant overseer in theparish,who received asalar for his trouble, and as the latter had ordered the meat of the detendant, the case was not within the statute. The Loirr) CsiRxEp B]lRo2f was of opinion that the case was clearly withinF the aat but said he would reserve the point, if the defendant's counsel had any confidence in it. The jury were directed to find for the plaintiff, for one penaliy of 1001.- TWISLETrOfl V. LOCKE-E. This was an action by theffon. Mr. Win.Thomas Twisleton son of Lord Say ant Sele to recover 101 money bhad ad roceiveA by' thedeferidantto the plaintiff's use. It appeared in evidence, that the defend nt, a gamekeeper, had sold the plaintiff' a pointer dog, at the price of 101., which was paid upon an understanding that the dog was a good pointer. Upon trial the animal was found deficieAt in manv requisites of a sporting dog; it woald not point, nor back his hrother dogs. At the enid of three weeksl he was retuned to the defendant, whio sent two other dogs to the plaintiff, in the hope that he might suit himself; but without success. The monev paid to the defendant was requested to be re- turned, and he promised to repav it, deduc inv hi' expenses, which the plaint ff agreed to allow; and, by Mr. Walker, at length agreed to take five guineas, if paid by a given time. The defendant was unable to perform his engagement at the appointed time, and this action was brought for the whole demand. The Jury, under thc learned Judge's directions, found their ver- dict for the platntiff-Damnagesi 51. .5s. _ }IAIDSTONE, MIARCH M6.

It scerns likely that the rew Game Act wrill pass the C'ommons. IVre feel a certain degree of timidity in speak- ing on this subject, and shall tell our readers the reason. fe have often observed in common life,how very little un.- derstanding will suffice to render a man excessively know- ing, and really quite II up to" that subject, whatever it may be, upon which lie thinlks alvays. And as the sporting gentry but rarely suffer their attention to be divcrted to other subjects, and are almost exelusively eccupied. (we were going to sayl body and s ul) in the preservation and destruction of ganme, the right of manors, leave to sport, qualifications, licences, and deputations, we know that if we were to malke the slightest mistake, we shoul(i be ex- posecd to the detection, of not the brightest or most intel- lectual portion of our fellow-subjects, but to one perfectly au fait to the present question. \Ve confess, howvever, in spite of this disclaimer, that the act seems to us to be a very monstrous one. It makes the game-(un.ler which name is includled several species not before acknowledged as such)-it makes the game, we say, 'under this sweeping denomination, property ; but property to whom? llWhy, to the landlord-exclusive property to the landlord! and that, after lie has let the lan(d en wlich it is reare(d and fed to the tenant. W1'e really should begin to suspect, ihat the next step in legislation, upon the same principle, might be to enable the lan(lord to pursue, take, and destroy, the calves and lambs of the occupier of the land, or to let that right of destroying them to others. ''he third clause seems to 'tus a direct invasion of property; for it ordains, that where the landlord has, by lease, conceded to another the full and exclusive possession and enJoyment of what becomes by that aet the leasehold property of the tenant, the landlord may invade or enter that property pendling the exising lease; and he may not only so invade ai(l enter it himself, but may transfer that right of invas on and entry, either gratuitously or for a Ya- luable consideration, to another. I We cannot exactly see how poaching is to be prevented by the bill as it stands at pressnt. To the sale of game there can be no objection; for to allow of it is only to le- galize that which is in as full practice as any thle most ordinary transaction of human life.

I noe ilocuments placed on the table of the liouse ot' Comniois, and which we inserted yesterday, ha/e not furnished anv thing new to the public. It is already two years since an act passed, by which England openet1 her ports to all the flags of the Spanish colonies- and she w6iDhed berore to treat for the independence (f these colonies at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, and renewed this proposition at tne Coonores, of *'ienna. Mr. Canning, at the commencement ot' tie present sesaion of Par- liament, ansiounced formallY, that England was disposed toacknow. le(tre the independence of Spanish America. if the information which he expected from the English agents should appear to him to leave no furthler doubt wvith regaird to the mother country. But it now ap. pears that the question wvas judged bero-e the publicaticn of these locollnents. C We obhesve, with pileasure, that the Prencli diplomatic documents are expresse(d with a great deal of dienitv, prudence. and reserve: they leave to France the facility and the rihltt of aciing conformably to good faith-to the politics of Eurone-to the rights of Spain-and to the ittrests ot France herself. Above all, these notes are of a !tone the most pacific and anmicable, and exhibit but otne desire for the reciprocal continuation of a general peace. M e are convinced that the discussions, already opened, on these doaliicuments willonly confirm these obseryations.-Jo0, nal(rke Debats.

Ladies and Gentlermen,-As, in the address to vou, which I took the liberty of inserting in tihis paper on the first da;t of the month I informed yott that at the ensting hail' vearly Court to be held at thce Bank, I shoyld move fora livi(lend ofrfive per cent., in case the Di- rectors proposed a less sumi; I think it prbper to observe to you, that at the Court held last Thursday, the 18th. I imade this motion, and thst a ballot an it was demuanded, and is fixed to be taken on next Thursday, the 25th. Having in my late address to you made us'of siome unanswerable arguments, to persuade and, exhort you to exertion in defenceofyourrights, I mightbe content, you will say, to truist to their efl'et but it has occurred to mc, that it may be of use to put you on your guard against the suggestion that may be made, ort'hle imnpropriety of atteiipting to oppose in any degree what the Directors think fit to reconsinend. This interference cap in my opinion be no other way so well supported, as by the simple Statement of Wlhat passld in March, ISIW, wheii a similar cir- cumtstatnce took place to what is now going torward. Thle late Mr. Ricardo, than whoni nobodly perhaps, was a mnore com- petent judge, being dissatisfied vith the recommendation on the part of the Directors. of a miere i per cent. dividend, (after nine yearsNot accuinulated profits, withouit the least increase of interest given to the proprietors), proposed, in concert with other propnretors. an addition of one per cent. and a motion being made to this effect, a ballot was denmanded, which took place, but proved tinsuccesful, front thic faciiity withi which the proprictors resident in London and its eivirons attend it, and the difficulty there is in bringing up those who reside in Cornwall and Yorkshire. Fvery rational person ittust hiave felt, when this ballot was decided, that the poor dereated proprietors lad only to submit in silence and sortow to the niorti6fca- tion of having only a five p-r cent. dividend; and that they would be punished in ttiture for their insolence and( presuniption, in supposing .hiex kneu better than the D)irectors what was a proper and JUSt di- v idendi, anu v.hat twe funds and the profits of the corporation could att; rd. But to tot astonishment of every body, these sapient well- miorn)ed D)irectorb thought fit, in the course of a few weeks, to pro- claim t. the World their owu folil anid inconsisitency, and to atiow I i:ow much they hadi been mistaken in their judgment of the divi- dend which their profits could afford. by inagnanimously granting a bonus ot 2; per ceot. on his capital to each individual. It would be olly, after tile sinple statement of this strong fact, to weaken it by any other argumilent or observation. Let it speak for itself, and then we sitall cease to hear of placing implicit confidence in Directors, be they who or what they mnav.-I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, tour most obedient humble sermant, Richmond, Ilarch 220.
