      mark onr , sense , I beg leave to second the motion which the hon . gentleman has made . I am perfeotly sure that it will be asuliject of grief to the noble lord at the head of the government , that in consequence , probably , of the introduction of this subject a few moments earlier than it il Wit have been expected , he has been deprived of the satisfaction of bearing his part in this , the earliest , not not the last , tribute of respect , to be paid to ins memory of one whom I may now namette late Sir Robert PeeL ( Hear , hear . ) The subject which has been introduced by the hon . gehtienian—he will forgive mo for saying—is one that does not at this moment bear discussion . Every heart is much too full to allow us to prowed

      so early to enter upon the consideration of the amount of that calamity with which the countoy has been visited in , I will say , the premature death of Sir Robert Peel ; for , although he has died fall of years and full of honours , yet it is a ! death that in human eyes is premature , because wa had fondly hoped that , in whatever position , by the weight of his ability , by the splendour of his talants , and by the purity of his virtues , he might still have been spared to render vsmo 3 t essential services . ( Cheers . ) I will only quote , as deeming them highly appropriate , those most touching and most feeling lines which were applied by one of the greatest poets of this country to the memory of a man even greater than Sir R . Peel- :

      " Now is the stately column treke ; The beac » n light is quenched in smoke . The trumpet ' s silvery sound is still . The warter silent on the hill . " ( iCheers . ) I will say no more . In saying this , I Bave perhapa said too much . It would have been better if I had simply confined myself to second the motion of the hon . gentleman . I was in hopes that I *? , protecting the subject for some moments others might have entered the house who would have been more worthy to discharge the duty I have underia&en . But it is not so . However , the tribute of respect which we now offer will , I am sure , be all the more valuable , and all the more readily received , from the silence which has prevailed , and which has ar isen not from a want , but from an esce 33 of feeling ( Hear ) ta 1 414

      . . ^ W ~~*>** AVUI Jlr . Napier . —Perhaps , as I have a motion on the paper for to-day , I may be permitted to say how willingly I waive everything to join in testifying , in any manner lean , my sorrow and regret " for the loss which the country has sustained . It is a very curious circumstance , that a large portion of those legislative measures to which I was about to ask $ he attettion of the house have been suggested by the legislative wisdom of that great man who has just been gathered to bis fathers . The impulse and encouragement which he has given to measures of legislation in connexion with the criminal jurisprudence of thia country , and the records he has left behind him of his enlightened wisdom on that important subject , entitle him to the gratitude , and

      • win ever claim the unanimous respect , of all classes of the community . "When the news came to him of Ids death , and when I reflected how short was the ^ period since I h ad beheld him standing on that spot in the lull vigour of a matured intellectual powerchastened but not impared by age and experience—• I "was reminded what shadows we are ; and the life " of the wisest and strongest of us is but a wavering flame which the passing breeze may extinguish . ( Hear , hear . ) . „ Sir R . Isolb . —Perhaps my right hon . friend was correct whea he suggested that silence was more eloquent than any words on the occasion of such a loss as that which this house , and this country , and ; Imay almest say , which the whole European

      community has sustained in the death of Sir Robert T ? eel . But , as the silence enjoined by my ri « ht hon . "friend ' s address ha 3 been broken with equal feeling ' and truth by the hon . and learned member for the University of Dublin , perhaps I may bo indulged in tearing my humble but hearty testimony to the ^ -character of the friend whom we have lost . I trust "that his memory may be brought to our hearts and ; xmnds without the least reference to those political : topics which haveunhappily divided us , and to which ; some passing allusion has been made in the introductory address of the hon . member for Montrose . It is not necessary on such an occasion as the pre-^ sent to refer to any topics which might disturb that unanimity of feeling , and that sentiment which I

      trust pervade ? , not only this house , but the country at large . ( Hear , hear . ) It is with the most cordial feelings of respect that I bear my humble testimony to the high and honourable character of the man whose death we now deplore , and , as one who has now sat for some time in parliament , to rise and ¦ state that I believe there never was a man who made greater sacrifices for the public good than Sir Robert PeeL ( Hear , hear . ) Power he sacrificed ¦ willingly ; and I think he would have sacrificed everything except that which he regarded as . paramount , namely , his duty , to the good of his country . ( Loud cheers . ) Those who mi ^ ht hare differed from him on political subjects will , I am sure , unanimously concur in the cxnression of

      one cordial feeling of grateful respect for the memory of the man who really did more to distinguish ihi 3 house among the deliberate bodies of the world than any one individual who ever sat in it . ( Cheers . ) I cordially join in the proposition that has been addressed with so much feeling to the house , an ! ¦ which has been received with so much fee ing by the house , that in consideration of the great ° loss which the hoU 3 eha 3 sustained , and from the deep rease which it entertains of that loss , the house Mould proceed no further with the business of the day . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir w . Somebvolb . —As no notice was given of any intention to mo ve the adjournment of the house , and as it accidentally happens that no member of

      ; Ler Majesty ' s Cabinet is at present in the house , probably I may be permitted to say , that had snch l » en the case some one of greater importance than " myself would have risen to express on the part of the government their deep feeling of regret at the ; loss which the country must sustain by the death of -that eminent statesman whose loss we have now to deplore . ([ Hear . ) I will say no more oh the pre-• Bent occasion . It wonld hardly be becoming or pru-. dent in so humble a member of the house to say ^ more than that I deeply participate in the general - . feeling which has been expressed on this occasion . I - am quite sure that if thenoble lord at the head of her Majesty ' s government had been in his place , —that he is not here I am certain is Bolely attributable to - the fact that he did not expect the motion would have

      come on at so early a period of the day , — . but , if he had been present , I am convinced he would have concurred in the expression of the deepest regret for the lost which the country has sustained , and of his highest respect for the memory Of the great statesman who has just departed from among us , and , with the siucerest sympathy and Condolence , would have-declared his concurrence in the motion that the house out of respect . to that great man should not proceed with any further business to-day . ( Cheers . ) The Speaker then put the question , but Sir W . SoMERViiiE immediately rose acaia and said , —I have just been informed that the noble lord the First Minister of the Crown , happens to be m the country , He went last night . ( Hear , hear . ) v

      The question was again put , and agreed to tmammously . The house accordingly adjourned , at a quarter to one o ' clock . ( From our Seeond Edition of last vieek . J THURSDAY , Jukb 27 . ~ HOUSE OF COMMOSS .-The adjourned debate on Foreign Policy was resumed by Sir J . Walsh , who reiterated many of the objections previously urged against Lord Palmerston , charging him with propagandism , and with having endertaken the advocacy of jacobinic . il principles throughout Europe . He stigmatised the forei < m policy of the government as tending to foster dis-. turbance and discontent throughout the populations ' of Europe , and to place Eugland under a universal banof isolation and suspicion among all the powers ' of the civilised world . *

      Sir H . Yebsex showed from private communications that the legal and constitutional state of . Greece had fallen into deplorable anarchy ; and that the only means of obtaining redress for English subjects was by the stern interposition of their own government . The precedent now set would be or extensive value in our commercial relationship . with other countries , as proving that the protecturn or the British crown was extended over all its loyal subjects . . SirS . Ixglis acknowledged that he might have approved of the particular line taken by the government with respect to Greece , but refused to affirm I ? ! a u e course of their foreign policy , and reprobated the unconstitutional maxim which he said had teen enunciated by Lord J . Kusse'J , in repudiating . not merely submission but even responsibility to . the verdict of the Ilouse of Lords . Confessing the abihty of Lord Palmerston ' s defence on Tuesday flight , he yet felt himself reluctantly forced to

      withhold lus vote from the approving resolution now proposed for their adoption . -. The Marquis of Ghasuy noticed one or two lacuna in the reply of the Foreign Secretary to the charges brought against him . He reviewed with much . mtautenes 3 the foreign policy of the government , oharacterhmg . it as a policy " of interference , . which , for the sake of promulgating certain ppliti ! fit ateft T ° - ? , th 0 risk of "buff , and sacriSced the dignity of the nation . .-. bir W . Molkswooth enforced the importance of adeci 3 : onfor which every nation of Europe was anxiously waiting ; maintaining that if a vote of the leers was founded on error , the Commons was entitled to reverse it ; but if not ^ not .

With regret , as approving their domestic * *

      policy , but with a conscientious opinion in his own integrity , he should vote against the resolution of the hon . member for Sheffield . Mr . Shafio Adair expressed his conviction that the policy of the Foreign Secretary had received the approbation of the public at borne , and was calculated to preserve the dignity of England and the safety of her subjects abroad . Mr . S . Herbebt , after ironically disposing of the more far-fetched arguments of the last speaker , and adverting to the evidence of personal feeling manifested by Lord Palmerston against Narvaez , whom in one of his despatches fie had called a " reckless adventurer , " ridiculed the Pacifico affair , in which an escapade , begun by school-boys , into

      had been magnified a riot . He then followed Lord Palmerston through the various countries to which his interference had extended , and remarked upon the failure of nearly all his attempts at the establishment of what he termed constitutionalism . He could not see how credit should be taken for such a scries of defeats ! Ho contrasted the improving condition of Prussia and Austria—nations which had not been cursed by the noble lord ' s assistance , with the unhappy results where that assistance had been afforded . He called upon the house to mark its disapprobation of a policy which had tended to lower the character of this country in the eyes of foreigners . Sir-G . Grey complained of the accusations

      levelled by Mr . Herbert against his noble colleague . The principles of the question had been , he thought , accurately stated by Mr . Roebuck ; and with respect to the first class of cases , the point at issue was whether the government should act in accordance with the resolution of the Lords , ' or , as they had hitherto deemed it to be their duty , to afford protection in the widest sense ol the term to Britiah subjects in another country , who were unable by the ordinary process of the law , or through other causes , to obtain justice . With respect to the other class of cases , no one had stated what was the antagonistic principle upon which the government were required to act . No course of propagandism had been adopted by onr Foreign Minister ; distinct

      disavowals had been repeatedly given of any desire to interfere with the political views and opinions of other countries . After paying a warm tribute to the character and talents of Lord Palmerston Sir George vindicated Ihe proceedings of Lord Minto , which , he contended , were not to be judged by their effects . The peace of Europe , however , had been maintained , and the principles of constitutional government were making progress , in spite of despotism on the one hand and anarchy and disorder on the other . Friendly relations with other countries might be purchased at too dear a price by the sacrifice of the national honour , and he trusted that the house would not by their vote lower this country from the high position it had hitherto occupied

      amongst ; the nations of the world . Mr . Gladstone began by replying , at much length , to the address of Lord John Russell on that day week , protesting against his doctrine as to the ministerial responsibilities towards the House of fords , and showing that the precedents he had hen quoted were not to the point . Turning to he resolution before them , he observed that it hifiedthe issue raised by the ' vote of the peers , and widened the case for the purpose , he suggested , of catching votes , which might have been refused upon the special point of the Greek polioy . That policy he divided into three categories—as directed towards Greece itself , towards the co-guaranteeing powers , and towards France as mediator .

      lie would not argue the question upon precedents but upon principles . Introducing a warm eulogium upon the impartiality and veracity of Baron Grosreceived by the house with an expression of very conflicting opinions—the right honourable member restated the detal ' s of the Sumachi , Finlay , and Pacifico claims . With regard to the first , he remarked that the Foreign Secretary had begun with violence , had proceeded to reason and allowed the question to drop , with no redress obtained in the end . In the Finlay case strong measures were used to get payment for an account which the tribunals were competent to settle ; thereby controverting the principle laid down by Lord Palmerston ' s own supporters . M . Pacifico ' a claim was in like

      manner unjustifiably taken up by English ministers before it had been submitted to the courts of the country , and pressed against the Greek government without examining into the notorious exaggerations in its items . The demands for which coercive measures were applied were founded in falsehood , fraud , and absurdity , and their enforcement had involved an infringement of the law of nations . Mr . Gladstone then dilated upon the suspicious complications discoverable in correspondence with Baron Gros , and summed up by asserting that the Foreign Secretary had provoked and sustained a variety of disgraces and indignities , forwhieh the country was inadequately compensated by the magnificent harangue in which he had attempted to

      justify his policy . An antagonistic principle had been askedfor , and he gave it in one word—nonintervention . Even for the sake of protection tc her subjects , this policy was necessary for England , as no country could duly protect her natives which stood in isolation , and did not acknowledge those claims of justice and equality that bound together the pre it comity of nations . From the House of Lords an appeal lay to the Commons , and from the Commons to the people of England . But even from them there was a further appeal to the general opinion of the Christian world , whose verdict would , he believed , be prononnced against us , and irretrievably taint the honour and character of our empire .

      Mr . Henry Dbuumoxd declined to oppose the motion . His speech embraced a variety of rather incongruous topics , including the Reform Bill , to which he attributed the late continental revolutions . On the motion of Mr . Cockbukn the debate was again adjourned . After some further business the house adjourned at two o ' clock .

      ( From our Third Edition of last weehj FRIDAY , Juke 2 S . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The debate on the Foreign Policy was resumed by Mr . Cockbpbn , who in an eloquent speech , supported the government . Mr . Waipous opposed , and Mr . Miises supported the motion . Mr . Cobden was anxious to consider this question on its legitimate issue , not for the purpose of indulging in any personal opposition , and seeing nothing in the question which involved any plot or conspiracy or cabal . He desired to be exonerated from the charge preferred against those w . ho would not support the motion , that they were advocates

      of despotism . He , at least , was no ally of Russia . He then entered fully into the Greek question , and concluded by saying , they were further a 6 ked to identify themselves with the whole foreign policy of the government . He should be the most inconsistent man upon earth if he did so , after condemning so many of their acts of interference with the affairs of other countries , done iu divect contravention of the exposition of Whig principles promulgated by Lord Grey . The question did not depend upon liberalism or absolutism ; it depended more upon peace , commerce , and education . Sir R . Peel began by vindicating the motives which influenced his vote , declaring that the suggestion of Mr . Cockburn , that there had been a

      disgraceful conspiracy , or a base compromise , in opposition to the ministers , on his side of the house , was wholly unfounded . He had giren his conscientious support to them , because he had cordially approved their policy in domestic affairs—commcreial , monetary , and in relation to Ireland . There were occasions in which he had supported their foreign policy , which he did not now come forward to condemu ; but he was asked to give his approval of the whole , and to affirm principles tenfold more important than the saving of a government . Sir Robert then discussed the foreign policy of the government , and asked , was it not , then , a wiser policy to hold the doctrine recognised by Mr . Fox , Mr . Pitfc , and Mr . Canning , that the true policy of this countrv

      was non-interference ? He believed that the cause of constitutional liberty would only be encumbered by our help , whilst by obtruding it we should involve this country in incalculable difficulties . For these reasons he should dissent from the motion . Lord J . Russell justified tho course which government had taken upon this question , and charged tho tactics of their opponents with unfairness , and accused Lord Aberdeen of having uttered most unfounded imputations , and made most unjust attacks upon the present Ministers . He then discussed the considerations which had regulated the policy of the government in regard to the continental states , calling upon the house to judge them by the principles they professed , and by the results

      which had been obtained under circumstances of extraordinary difficulty . He acknowledged it was a just rule of policy not to interfere in the domestic affairs of other nations ; but that rule had not been very strictly observed even by Lord Aberdeen in his intercourse with Greece , and it must bo relaxed in cases of exigency , for an unbending rule would be tho cause of war . After an allusion to a rumoured fusion of parties on the benches opposite to him , and attributing tho unfounded suspicions cast upon the policy of the government to foreign agency , he declared that by the venlict of that house , and of the people of England , he was prepared to abide , fully convinced that the government had preserved at the same timo the honour of this country and the blessings of peace .

      Mr- Disraeli justified by precedent his own course of conduct on this question , and vindicated Lord Aberdeen . Taking the resolution as that of the government , he observed , if it was meant to lay down the rule that , in countries like Greece , every person calling himself a British , subject mi « ht look for redress to a British admiral , in what a position would it place this country as well as Greece ! The House of Lords had exercised a solemn duty and pronounced a censure upoa the policy which had led to sucluemble results . This , house was

      now asked to reverse that . sentence ; but ^ he irras persuaded that whatever might bo its vote , it ' would terminate that system , and announce to Europe , and to anether hemisphere , that the Parliament of England had resolved that our policy should be conducted with due . regard for the rhhts of other nations . ¦' ' - ¦ ' ¦¦ After a brief reply from Mr .

      DASTARDLY ATTACK UPON THE QUEEN . About twenty minutes after six o ' clock on Thursday evening her Majesty the Queen , accompanied by three of the children and Viscountess Jocelyn lady in waiting , left Cambridge-house , Piccadilly ( where her Majesty had been calling to inquire after tho health of her uncle , on her return to Buckingham Palace . A crowd of persons had assembled without the court-yard gates to witness her Majesty ' s departure , and as the carriages passed out of the gates an individual , respectably dressed , and about six feet two inches high , advanced two or three paces , and with a small black cane which he held in his hand struck a sharp blow

      at the Queen . The blow took effect upon her Majesty ' s bonnet , which , being of a light texture , was driven in by its force , but the only effect which the attack had upon the Queen was to cause her Majesty to raise her hand and re-arrange her bonnet . Several of the bystanders seized the miscreant , one of whom dealt him a sound blow in the face , whieh drew blood from his nose In copious streams , after which he was handed over to the police , and conveyed to the Yine-street , police-station . On being asked his name , he replied without hesitation , " Robert Pate , " describing himself as a retired

      lieutenant of the 10 th Hussars , and adding that'be resided at No . 27 , Duke-street , St . James ' s . When asked what he had to say to the charge , he replied , that it was true he had struck her Majesty a slight blow with a thin stick , but he added emphatically , in allusion to the witnesses , "Those men caanot prove whether I struck her heador her bonnet . On being searched there were found upon the prisoner two keys and a pocket handkerchief . No money or weapon of any kind was discovered . The small stick with which the miscreant struck the blow was not thicker than an ordinary goosequill—measured only two feet two inches in length , and weighed less than three ounces .

      TUB EXAMINATION AT THE HOME OFFICE . On Friday , at twelve o ' clock , the prisoner was taken to the Home Office for examination . On entering the room , which contained several persons , the prisoner betrayed no emotion , but took his seat on a chair , to which he was directed by the superintendent . Mr . Huddlestone , the barrister , attended on behalf of the p risoner , instructed by Mr . Hardesty , solicitor , of Great Marlboroughstreet , the legal adviser of the prisoner ' s family , and to whom he is personally known , but , on their entrance , he exhibited no mark of recognition . Witnesses were examined in support of the charge , but the prisoner declined to put any questions to them , - and be was remanded until Friday next , for further examination .

      There is little dohbt but that a plea of insanity will be set up in the prisoner's behalf , and , indeed ; the prisoner ' s conduct in not recognising Mr . Hardesty , to whom he is personally known , at the examination , leads to the supposition that such will be the line of defence . It is , however , worthy of remark , that while in custody at the Tine-street station , the prisoner recognised one of the inspectors , who is a member of a highly respectable family , resident at Wisbeach . In the course of conversation the officer remarked , " I wish to heaven I had been at your right hand yesterday , and then this should not have happened . " The prisoner replied emphatically , " I wish to heaven you had . " He afterwards added , to the same officer , that " he had felt very low for some time past . "

      We trust , however , that such a defence will not save the dastardly perpetrator of this unprovoked attaak from a similar—or a severer—sentence , than that passed upon the poor wretch who presented a block of wood , to which was affixed the ferrule of an old pair of bellows , at the Queen , and for which he was transported . The one was a poor man who had for a long time been out of employment , and was starving ; the other is a retired lieutenant in the army , occupying a splendid suite of apartments in the west end , of a wealthy family , and living in affluence . We could give many reasons in extenuation of the one , and condemnation of tho other , but shall at present refrain from doing SO , hoping , in the mean time that , in this case , at least , there will not be one law for the rich and another for the poor .

      Lord Palmerston in France . —A man with the English name of Gough appeared on Saturday bofore the tribunal of Correctional Police to answer the complaint of one Nicholas . " I had my pipe in my mouth , and was about to light the tobacco , " said Nicholas , " for you must know that after supper I always take a pipe . Well , I advanced towards the lamp of the public-house , and I hummed a tune which I like , because it was Palmerton , Palmiton , Marmiton—what ' s his name ?—" No , no ! never iu France Shall the English reign . "

      " Palmerston , that ' s the name , " growled the defendant . " Leave out all useless details , and continue , said the President . " But tho useless details are the pith of tho affair , Mr . President . Well , this young man was vexed to hear me sing —| "No , no ! never in France Shall the English reign !" And I can understand that , for he is an Englishman , and the English are national like the devil . " I an Englishman ! " said the defendant , " perexemple , I was born at Charenton le Pont , near Paris . " " But his father is an Englishman , and there is no setting aside blood . Well , he forbado me to sing the No , no ! never , ' because he said it provokea him ; so , to vex him and Palmeston— " " Palmerston ! " growled the defendant . "Good . Palmerston ! So , to vex him and Palmerston , I roared aa loud as I could—1 No , no ! never in France Shall the English reign !"

      " You need not repeat the words so loud , " said tho President . " Ah ! Mr . President , I do so to show to this Englishman that we love our country as much as he does his ! " " So he struck you ?" " Smashed my pipe into a thousand pieces , and cut open my lips with a blow which none but an Englishman could have given . " " It was only a slap in the face , " said the defendant . " You had no right to slap him in tho face , " observed the President , " for singing a song which Frenchmen approve of . " " I don't say the contrary , Mr . President ; every man is free to have his opinion . I didn ' t want to talk politics , but he bored , tormented , and defianced me with his infernal song . " The tribunal condemned the man to two months ' imprisonment ; being thus severe because on a previous occasion he had been condemned for striking his father and mother . As the plaintiff went away , he cast a 3 ly glanco at the defendant , and

      murmured"No , no ! never in France , ' V Never , no never ! Never in Franco , Shall the English veign 1 " A New Caliiornia . -The Port of Spain Gazette , of May 17 th , publishes a circular , a few copies of which had then just reached Trinidad , announcing the discovery of a new gold region in the republic of Venezuela . The circular ^ which was printed at Ciudad Bolivar , in Angostura , is in Spanish ; and is headed El Oro del Yururay . It sets forth that one Senor Pedro Monasterio , an inhabitant of the province of Barquesimeto , had just arrived from Upata , bringing with him the intelligence that rich auriferous grounds existed in the vicinity of the

      Yururay rivers , and producing visible tokens of the authenticity of the fact in the shape of samples of the preoious mineral to the amount of 150 ounces . These are stated to" be composed of grains of various sixes , some of which are as large as lentils or grains of coffee , and some so large as to exceed half an ounce in weight . The standard of the ore is represented as being of the highest purity , being of twenty-four carats . The , circular i 3 signed Unos Fecmos ( several inhabitants ) , not a very responsible authority , but the Port of Spain Gazette , which seems to make no doubt of the correctness of tho announcement , considers this is a very natural substitute for the editorial" we " in a province which

      publishes no newspaper , though it possesses a printing press and typos . A poatcript appended to this document makes the further announcement , that since the departure of Senor Monasterio another individual had collected 13 S ounces of gold in the district of Yururay . A letter is also published in tho paper we have alluded to , from the agent of a respectabe firm in Trinidad , confirming the interesting intelligence . It is a curious fact that there is every reason to believe the newly-discovered gold region to be identical with the El Dorado of Sir Walter Raleigh , in which case , if there be any truth in the discovery , history will have to make an apology to the manos of that much maligned hero .

      : . SHERIFFS' SMALL DEBTS COURT . I lAKKR V . WKBB . —A WR 1 NKLB FOR BKTIIKa MEN . iMr . H . F . Wood stated that his client sought to recover £ 8 under the following circumstances : — Two pedestrians , Briggs and Woodcock ,, were backed for a foot race . The plaintiff and a Mr . Allen deposited ; £ 8 in tho hands of the defendant as the stakeholder . A dispute arose as to the fairness of the race , and his client , upon demanding the stakes , was answered by the defendant paying 30 s . into court . —Several witnesses on each side were examined , whose testimony led to a strong inference that the race was what in sporting parlance is termed a cross . —Mr . Hughes , counsel lor the defendant , contended that the 8 and 9 Vic , cap . 109 , sec . 18 , known as Lord' George Bentinck ' s Act , put the plaintiff out of court , inasmuch as the transaction was illecal . —The learned Judge ruled that the

      plaintiff could only recover for money had and received for use of the defendant . —Mr . Hughes then stated that £ 2 10 s . had already been paid to the plaintiff , and that as 30 s . had been paid into court , his client was entitled to a verdict . —Mr . H . F . Wood observed , that what waslauce Jor the goose was sauce for ihe gander , that Lord Georgo Bentinck ' s Act applied to the statement of Mr . Hughes , of his client having paid £ 2 10 s . for a bet , equally as much as the defence he had set up against the claim of his client / and ho must remark that it was far from honourable in sporting men sheltering themselves from their debts of honour behind the act cited , and he hoped to see the time when the legislature would enact that debts of honour should be recovered . —His Honour ruled that the £ 2 10 s . could not be pleaded aa a set off , and gave a verdict for £ 4 .

      COURT OF EXCHEQUER . LEVY V . BEBMAN . Mr . Lush , with Mr . Barnard , conducted the case for the plaintiff ; and Mr . Edwin James appeared for the defendant . —This was an action for goods sold and delivered and on an account stated . —Tho defendant pleaded , first , that he was not indebted ; and then that the plaintiff was indebted to him in a larger sum . —It appeared that the plaintiff is a rag and iron merchant in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch , and that the defendant is a farmer at Wandsworth ,, in Surrey , and a hop merchant in Southwark ; and the action was brought to recover the value of certain manure which had been supplied by the former to the latter in the month of April , 1847 , and the real question in the cause was as to what was the value of that manure as well as tho actual

      amount or quantity of that commodity which had been delivered . It was stated that this particular trade was confined to very few persons , of whom the present plaintiff was one . In the spring of 1847 there was a large fire , at Irongate-wharf , and the result was that there had been a vast accumulation of rubbish and other articles , mixed up together in one general mass , upon which the watchful eye of the plaintiff was fixed . His judgment told him that this rubbish would bo most valuable as an article of manuro , seeing that amongst it were linseed , oil , and a variety of other things , which in a state of combustion yielded manure of a valuable character . In course of time , after tho fire , this rubbish and ashes were put up to sale by auction by the

      insurance office authorities , and were purchased by a person who , having failed to clear them off the premises within the specified term , they were about to be put up again , when' the plaintiff bought them by private contract for £ 7 10 s . It appeared that the plaintiff and the defendant were old acquaintances , and that the latter , in the previous year , had compounded with his creditors , two circumstances , to which was to be attributed the length of time that had been given by tho plaintiff to the defendant as credit . The latter haying heard of this manure became anxious to have it , as it was peculiarly calculated for the soil of his farm in Garrett-lane , Wands worth , ' and therefore an arrangement was come to by the parties that he should pay

      just as much for it as they might on some future day agree upon as a reasonable price . The rubbish was in due time sent up to Watney ' s wharf at Wandsworth , and amounted to as much , as was alleged by the plaintiff , as COO tons . The rubbish having been sorted over on the wharf , sevonty sacks of linseed were taken from it , and a vast quantity of bricks , some iron , some copper , some brass , which were taken back to the plaintiff . As the defendant had not been able to pay for the manure at the time , the plaintiff purchased of him his horse and phaeton for £ 60 . Eventually the plaintiff made a claim of £ 275 for the manure ; so that , deducting the £ 60 just mentioned , he still claimed £ 215 . —Mr . James , on the part of the

      defendant , contended that this was the most preposterous demand that was ever made , for tho plaintiff asked the defendant to pay him £ 275 for that which had only cost himself £ 710 . But what made the matter , the worse was , the plaintiff had taken away and sold all the bricks , and had also realised £ 20 by the sale of the iron , copper and other articles which ho had sorted out from the mass , the whole of which he nevertheless charged the defendant with . Then he had taken the defendant ' s horse and phaeton at £ 60 , so that he had already , for his outlay of £ 710 s , realised a sum of £ 80 . But then there . wore expenses of course to be deducted , but with those expenses , it would be seen , he debited the defendant . —The jury eventually returned a verdict for the defendant .

      MOROATT V . FAQG . —A DISSENTIENT JUROR . Mr . Edward James , with Mr . Prentis , conducted the case for the plaintiff ; and Mr . Martin and Mr . Dowdeswell appeared for the defendant . This was an action to recover compensation in damages Jfor tho non-delivery of a . parcel which the plaintiff mid sent to the defendant ' s office , the White Bear in Piccadilly , to be forwarded to a Mr . Hobbs at Dawnton in the county of Wilts . The only question in the case was , whether the defendant , who turns out to be the keeper of a "booking-office" only , had led the plaintiff and also the public at large to suppose that he was a " carrier . " The question is one of great importance ; but as there was no verdict returned , and the point therefore still remains

      undecided , it was a useless expenditure of' our space to enter into tho particulars of the case . It may however , be stated that Mr . Baron Parke said , the case was one of the clearest he had ever heardthero was no evidence to show that the defendant had in any way represented himself as a " oarrier . " —The Foreman of the jury said , that he and several others of the jury entertained a different opinion , and for himself he would say , with all due respect , that he considered the defendant to be liable . —Mr . Baron Parke : But as a matter of law I tell you that upon this evidence the defendant is not liable and the plaintiff cannot recover It is for you to take the law from me , and not for you to offer the law tome . —The Foreman : That may be your Lordship's opinion ; but my opinion' is otherwise , and I cannot find for the plaintiff . —Mr . Baron Parke : If upon your conscience you believe tUe

      defendant to be a " carrier , of course you will not find him not to be so ; but I tell you you are wrong . —The Foreman : I still think he is , or has held himself out to the world as a " carrier , " and I cannot find otherwise . —Another Juryman : Everybody knows that the defendant is not a " carrier , " and that he is only a booking-office-keeper . —The jury then had a further consultation , at the end of which the Foreman said , there was no chanco of their agreeing . Ho would , therefore , suggest that the best course would be that a juror should be withdrawn . The counsel on both sides having consulted intimated their acceptation of the suggestion . A juror was accordingl y withdrawn . Mr . Baron Parke said , ho had never seen a clearer case . The defendant was not liable , but the Seuth-Western Railway Company were . —The Foreman of the jury said , ho entertained a very different opinion as a man of business .

      COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH . HUMPHRT 3 V . HUMPHBYS . This was an action for falso imprisonment ; Mr Chambers , Q . C , appeared for the plantiff , and Sir P . Thesiger for the defendant . ¦ The faots disclosed ^ evidence were these :-It appeared that the plaintiff , William Humphrys , who laboured under the supposition that ho had some claims against the defendant , George Humphrys , the existence of which the latter denied , was in the habit of annoying the defendant , by trespassing upon his "rounds and alarming his family . In May last , the plaintiff came upon the defendant ' s ground , and walked backwards and forwards in front of his windows , from nine o ' clock in the morning till three in the afternoon . The defendant frequently warned him

      to depart , but paying no attention to hisTomoiV straucea , a policeman was sent for , and bo . th parties shortly afterwards appeared before tho / nagistrate . Whilst there , the defendant offer ed to discharge the plaintiff , provided ho would gi ve Lim a simple promise , or entfr into his own recognizance , not to annoy the defendant aga ' n This however , the plaintiff refused to do , » jid he was committed .

      his imprisonment in whioh was made the ground of the present action . —For the plaintiff it was not contended that'the defendant had ho right to turn the plaintiff who was a . trespasser off his grounds , and nooomplaint was made of . the manner in which hehadavailedhimself , of that right . , But it was contended . that in imprisoning the plaintiff in the cell in . question the defendant had transcended his rights , and had inflicted an injury upon the plaintiff , for winch he now called upon the jury to give him damages . —Sir F . Thesiger , in addressinAhe jury for the defendant , recapitulated all the circumstances of the case to show the great forbearance of the defendant under lon g continued and sy 8 tematio . provocation . He contended that

      whatever injury the plaintiff had sustained , he had brought it upon himself , and that the defendant in protecting himself and his family from the repeated annoyances to which they were subjected had not exceeded his legal rights , as was admitted on the other side , with the single exception of ; tho imprisonment in question . But for that imprisonment the defendant was not liable , as it was not his act , but that of the magistrates , the defendant being responsible for nothing whioh occurred after the plaintiff came before the magistrates , lord Campbell was about to sum up the facts of the case , when he was interrupted by the jury , who , after a brief consultation , . returned a verdict for the efendant .

      CLARK V . SAVAGE . —SLANDER . This was an action brought against the defendant for certain slanderous words spoken by him against the plaintiff . —It appeared that the plaintiff , who was considerably advanced in life , was , at one time , the driver of a coach on the Great Northroad , Having married a woman with considerable property , he retired from this occupation about the ime that railways broke up the business in whioh he had beep engaged . He then went to reside in the neighbourhood of St . John ' s Wood , where he became acquainted with the defendant , who was the son ef a man of fortune , from whom he inherited a large fortune . After some time the defendant proposed to the plaintiff that he , the

      nlainnff and his wife , should take the defendant ' s house , and that the defendant should stay with them in the ; capacity of a boarder . This arrangement was .: acceded to ; but some time afterwards the defendant ' s conduct was such , in bringing certain parties to the house , and otherwise , that the plaintiff considered it impossible that : his wife could any longer remain in the house . As , however , tho plaintiff had brought considerable property into the house , le sent his wife away , but remained himself in the house . The defendant then commenced a system of annoyance in regard to the plaintiff , which had rendered it absolutely necessary for him to apply to the court for protection . In March , 1849 , the defendant began to asperse the character of the plaintiff in the most serious manner , charging him

      repeatedly , and m the presence and hearing of many people , with the commission of unnatural crimes . It was to protect himself against the injury which such imputations were calculated to inflict upon him that he now threw himself upon the court for protection . —The defendant pleaded the general issue . —Evidence was adduced to prove the slanderous words used ; but they were suoh as to render them unfit for publication .-Mr . Sergeant Wilkins did not deny that the words had been used , nor did his client attempt to justify them . The defendant was an eccentrio and irritable person , and made use of words in a moment of great heat , implying charges which he had no serious intention of imputing to the piaintiff . —After a few words from Lord Campbell , the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff , damages £ 100 .

      COURT OF COMMON PLEAS . CUFFLBTT V . BONK . —SEDUCTION . This case , which occupied the Court a part of Tuesday , was resumed this morning ( Thursday . ) It was an action brought by the plaintiff , who sued ln / ora& ^ aKjjewfor damages sustained by tho seduction of his daughter , by the defendant , Mr . Bone , a bookbinder , of Fleet-street . Mr . Sergeant Shee and Mr , Browne appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr . M . Chambers and M . Maynard for the defendant . Mr . Sergeant Shee opened the case for the plaintiff , reciting the evidence which he was about to offer . The first witness called was the young woman herself , Ann Cuffley , whose evidence was to the following effect : —She had been a bookfolder in the establishment of Messrs . Bone , employed in folding sheets for the binders . She had also been

      often / employed in doing little matters in the counting house of Mr . Bone , jun ., such as lighting his fire and sweeping his room . He had always treated her with more attention and favour than the other girls , often giving her fruit . He had also taken her to Greenwich , and once to Sadler ' s Wells Theatre . On the 16 th of October , 1843 , the defendant met her on the stairs in the warehouse , and desired her to go up stairs and light a firo in his counting-house , which w , is on the second floor ; he followed her up stairs , and fetched her the coali and firewood for her to light the fire . After that he brought up some walnuts , and gave her somethin ? out of a bottle which he said was wine , and which made her stupid and sleepv : she also drank

      something out of another bottle , which he said was gin . He then threw her down on tho floor , and began to take improper liberties with her , and afterwards effected her ruin , she resisting and crying out at the time . He would not allow , her to leave the room , but kept her locked in for three hours , until five o ' clock , when the porter brought up Mr . Bone ' s tea to the counting-house . She iken went into a cupboard while Mr . Bone went to the door , unlocked it , and took the tea from the porter . She had some tea with him , and afterwards went down stairs , creeping under the Counter to esoape tho notice of her fellow-workwomen , and got out of the warehouse without being seen . She was questioned on the following morning by the foreman as to the reason of her

      absence , and said that she had beed locked out and could not get in in time . About a month after she told the defendant that she was with child , he told her it was only a cold ; but , at any rate , he would give her something to take . On the 14 th of July 1849 , her child was born ; and she afterwards went to the defendant with her mother and brother , to try to prevail on him to allow something for tho child s support . —Her cross-examination ! by Mr M . Chambers , elicited that she had been in the habit of often going to public houses with youne men and drinking spirits with them , also of going mJK ^ m . and . conoert- / ooros unknown to her mother . She had also made assignations , . and had made an appointment with a centleman tn +. „! , - «> *

      to tne defendant ' s having given the girl fruit on various occasions which she brought down into the warehouse , and shared with her fellow work-women . i . j i fact of Ann Cuffley "wing been disoharged from the service of Messrs .
