• :. * Pr-V-I'.*----.- -Monday,' Jutr 1....
mark our sense , I beg leave to second tbe motion -which the hon . gentleman ' has made . I am perfectly sure that it will be a subject of grief to the noble lord at the head of the government , that in Consequence , probably , ofthe introduction of this subject a few moments earlier than it might have been expected , he has been deprived of tho satisfaction of bearing his part in this , the earliest , but not the last , tribute of respect , to be paid to the memory of one whom I may now namethe late Sir Robert Peel . ( Hear , hear . ) The subject which has been introduced by the hon . gentleman—he will forgive me for saying—is one Mat does not at this moment bear discussion . "Every heart is much too full to allow us to proceed so early to enter upon the consideration of
tne amount of that calamity with which the country bas been visited in , I will say , the premature death of Sir Robert Peel ; for , although he has " . died full of years and fuU of honours , yet it is a death tbat in human eyes is premature , because we 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 stiU have been spared to render -as most essential services . ( Cheers . ) I will only " quote , as deeming them highly appropriate , those most touching and most feeling lines which were iapplied by one ofthe greatest poets of this country to the memory of a man even greater than Bir R . Peel : — " Ho w is the stately column breke ;
The beacen light is quenched in smoke . The trumpet ' s silvery sound is still , , The warder silent on the hilL " Cheers . ) I will say no more . In saying this , 1 ' have perhaps 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 by protracting the subject for some moments others might hare entered the house who would have been more worthy to discharge the duty I have under-< taken . But it is not so . However ) the tribute of . -respect which we now offer will , I am sure , be a ll 'the more valuable , and all the more readily received , from the silence which has prevailed , and which has arisen not from a want , bub from an excess of
feeling . ( Hear . ) - Mr . "Safier . —Perhaps , as I have a motion on the ; paper for to-day , I may be " permitted to say how ¦ willingl y 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 Carious circumstance , that a large portion of those legislative measures to which I was about to ask the attettion of the house have been suggested by the legislative wisdom of that great man who has fust been gathered to his fathers . The impulse and encouragement which he has given to measures of Legislation in connexion with the criminal jurisprudence of this country , and the records he has left behind him of his enlightened wisdom on that important subject , entitle him to the gratitude , and
-will ever claim the unanimous respect , of all classes Of the community . When the news came to him of Ins death , and when I reflected how short was the period since I had beheld him standing on that spot in the full vigour of a matured intellectual powerchastened but not impared by age and experience—I was reminded what shadows we are ; and the life ofthe wisest and strongest of us is but a wavering flame which the passing breeze may extinguish ( Hear , hear . ) Sir R . Ixglis . —Perhaps my tight hon . friend was correct when 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 I may almost say , which the whole European
community has sustained in the death of Sir Robert feel . But , as the silence enjoined by my right hon . friend's address has been broken with equal feeling and truth by the hon . and learned member for the University of Dublin , perhaps I may be indulged in bearing my bumble but hearty testimony to the character ofthe friend whom we have lost . I trust that his memory may be brought to our hearts and minds without the least reference to those political topics which nave unhappily 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 present to refer to any topics which might disturb that tmanimitv of feeling , and that sentiment which I
'trust pervades , 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 tbe 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 Boberfc Peek ( Hear , hear . ) Power bo sacrificed ¦ willingly ; and I think be would have sacrificed everything except that which . be regarded as paramount , namely , bis duty , to the good -of his country . ( Loud cheers . ) Those who mig ht have differed from him on political subjects will , I am sure , unanimously concur in the expression of
-one cordial feeling of grateful respect for the memory ofthe man who really did more to distinguish ¦ this house among the deliberate bodies ofthe world than any one individual whoever sat in it . ( Cheers . ) I cordially join in the proposition that has been -addressed with so much feeling to the house , and which has been received with so much feeing by ihe house , that in consideration of the great loss which the house has sustained , and from the deep -sense which it entertains of that loss , the house should proceed no further with the business of the day . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir W . Somkrwllb . —As no notice was given of . -any intention to move 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 such been 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 wehavc now to -deplore . ( Hear . ) I will say no more on tho present occasion . It would 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 be is not here I am certain is solely attributable to the fact that he did not expect the motion would
lave come on at so early a period ofthe day , — bnt , 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 sincerest 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 Spbakeb then put the question , but Sir W . SoitEEViLLE immediately rose again and said , —I have just been informed that the noble lord the First Minister of the Crown , happens to be in the country , He went last night . ( Hear , bear . )
The question was again put , and agreed to unanimously . The house accordingly adjourned , at a quarter to one o'clock . THURSDAY , July i . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The decease of Sir R . Peel was alluded to by the Marquis of Laxsdowkb , who spoke an epitaph of eulogy upon the virtues aud talents of the late statesman , and gave utterance to his own regret at the loss which ' the country had experienced . * Lord Stanley , Lord Brougham , the Duke of
Welusotok , and the Duke of Cleveland successively added their homage to the memory of their deceased friend and colleague . Natio . vai , ExHinrriox . — A discussion , oa the Hyde Park Exhibition followed , in which Lords CAMPB & LLand BBonoKAiispokeagainst the proposed building , and Earl Ghasvuxe defended the Commission and its proceedings . Lords Redesdale and LossDAiB also opposed the erection , and Lord Fitzwillum spoke in its favour . The discussion ended in Lord Brougham's withdrawing a motion be had brought forward for referring the subject to a select committee .
The Metropolitan Interments Bill was referred to a select committee , on the understanding that such course was not to endanger or delay the
measure . Their Lordships then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The house met at noon , but after going through the private business adjourned , upon the motion of Sir G . Gncr , until half-past four . On resuming in the afternoon , Death of Sm R . Pbel . —Lord J . Russell rose , aud , with . evident emotion , bore an eloquent testimony to the character , public and private , ofthe distinguished statesman of whose presence the bouse had been so suddenly and lamentably de-Erived . He referred to the Lite Sir Robert Peel ' s aving been . stricken down so shortly after the time when , in the full exercise of-hi * mental and "bodily strength , he had been assisting in the
deliberations of tbat house . His lordship described the intellectual power , the disinterested patriotism , and the invariable courtesy and candour of the late baronet , arid passed an eulogium upon the reforms in commercial policy effected by him . He then expressed his willingness ,-ifthe family of Sir Robert Peel should sanction such a course , to move for a public funeral . - Mr . Goclbuev , on behalf of the family of Sir ¦ Jloberb Peel , made a grateful but ag itated repl y , -acknowled ging the universal sympathy which had . beei aaanifested . But , in reference to . the public fqneral , a will of Sir Robert ' s , dated in IS « , which asubsequeat expression of bis sentiments had confirmed , induced the family to believe that they were "bat obeying their revered relative's wishes in de-

clining the proffered honour . Sir Robert Peel would , therefore , be buried inthe fata ly vault at Drayton . ; . ¦¦ ¦ - ¦¦¦ Mr . Hehbiks added a tribute to the memory of the deceased statesman , with which he said that no political reminiscences should ever be allowed to mingle . . : - Lord Jom ? Russell made his promised statement in reference to the course of public business for the remainder of the session . The Stamps Bill , the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill , the Mercantile Marine Bill , the Charitable Trusts Bill , the Savings Bank Bill , and the Parliamentary Oaths Bill were to be proceeded with ; while the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland Bill , the Merchant Seamen ' s Bill , tbe Woods and Forests Bill , the Securities for Advances
( Ireland ) Bill , and the Railway Audit Bill were not . The Landlord and Tenant Bill was ' to be proceeded with to the second reading . National Exhibition . —Col . SinxHORPmoved that the report now presented respecting the proposed Exhibition of Industry , to be held in Hyde Park , be referred to a select committee . The hon . member repeated the objections he had urged almost , every night for some time past ag & inst the Exhibition generally , and the selection of the site in Hyde Parkin particular . Mr . Alcock seconded the motion , ' and suggested Battersea-fields as a less objectionable locality . Sir B . Hall had succeeded in saving Regent ' s Park from any danger of this infliction , and therefore" bad no longer any hesitation in supporting the
motion . He proceeded to criticise many of the acts and intentions of the commissioners , censuring particularly tbeir cutting down trees belonging to tbe public , and concluded by moving that an address be presented to the Crown , praying her Majesty not to sanction the erection of any building in the Park for the purposes of the Exhibition . Mr . Rice opposed the motion . Mr . Stephenson , as a member of the building committee , explained the reasons which hadgtsrded the selection of Hyde Park for a site , arid combated the objections tbat bad been adduced against it . To remove the Exhibition from tbe Park was equivalent to prohibiting it altogether . Mr . Hops wished to save Hyde Park from the destruction which the proposed building must inevitably occasion . •••* . ••• «
Mr . Hume looked upon ihe opposition to the design ofthe commissioners as being founded on th » narrowest motives of personal comfort and profit The great benefits expected to arise to the industrial classes of the country ought not to be sacrificed to the convenience of a few ladies and gentlemen . Hyde Park was the best locality for tho Exhibition , and indispensable to its successful ! operation . Mr . Labouchere believed that , after all tbat had ' been said and promised , the passing of the the pre- ' sent motion would amount to a breach of faith between tbe house and the country , as well as between this country and foreigners . He dissected ! the statements and arguments on which the opposers of the Hyde Park site had founded their
objections , and showed their futility . Months had fussed since the selection of that site was publicly nown , and yet no opposition was raised until now , when , at the eleventh hour , it assumed its present shape . The dome , which had been so . much censured , would , he added ,, most probably never be built , and the asserted appeal for public money almost to a certainty never be made . Mr . B . Osboexe retorted tbe charge of delay upon the commissioners , who had never thought of ex * amining into the fitness- of other sites until the question had been forcedupon them . He wished to secure the fullest success to the Exhibition , but felt and stated , many reasons why it should not be
held in Hyde Fark . Mr . Glabsioxe ( one of the commissioners ) , remarked that the firstprinoiple by which their coursewas guided was to make-the Exhibition a Londonone . They believed it would be unjust to allureforeigners and country people to the metropolis by promising them a spectacle which they should find themselves afterwards forced to travel many milesoff to see . At this moment a change in tho plans involved the postponement of the Exhibition foranother year , to the general disappointment andserious loss of the multitudes who had already made extensive preparations in the expectation " that it would come off ia 1851 .
Sir De Lacy Evahs- deprecated the selection'of Hyde Park . Mr . Stasfokd , Mr ; T . Buncombe , and Lord Dudley Stuabt having briefly spoken , Mr . J . Stuart recommended the house to wait until the legal question involved should have < b 8 ea settled by the courts of law , and moved the adjournment of the debate After a few words from Lord R . GnosVESOttand Sir H . WiLLouoHur , Lord J . Russell conceived that no advantage could result from delaying the vote upon this-question ; but after meeting and rebutting some- of the arguments adduced on the other side , he submitted
to Sir B . Hall whether it were worth whde to press the motion to a division . Sir B . HALtexpressed his willingness to withdraw his motion , but several members having insisted on coming to a -vote , the house divided : — For Sir B . Hall's motion ... ... 47 Against ... .... 166—119 A second division immediately afterwards took p lace on the motion of Col . SiBinonp , which was also rejected by a majority of 166 to 46—120 . Hour-made Spirits is Bond Bill . —Lord Naas moved the second reading of this bilk
The Chaxcellob ofthe Exchequer reiterated the arguments he had urged upon the first reading against the measure , and declared bis intention of again taking the sense of tbe house npon it . ° Mr . Wtld moved the adjournment ofthe debate , and the house divided , For adjourning the debate 95 Against . 135—40 The discussion was continued by Mr . Fox Maulb and Lord J . Russell , who withdrew their opposition to the second reading of the measure . The bill was then read a second time , and the house adjourned at twe o'clock . ( "from our TIdrd Edition of last week . J FRIDAY , JuXE 28 , HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The debate on the Foreign Policy was resumed by Mr . Cocebur . v , who in an eloquent speech , supported the government .
Mr . Walpole opposed , and Mr . Milnes 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 bo exonerated from the charge preferred against those who would not support the motion , that they were advocates of despotism . Ho , at least , was no ally of Russia . He then entered fully into the Greek question , and concluded by saying , they were further asked to identify themselves with the whole foreign policy ofthe government . He should be the most inconsistent man upou earth if he did so , after
condemning so many of their acts of interference with the affairs of other countries , done in direct 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 adisgraceful conspiracy , or a base compromise , in opposition tothomMstors , on his side ofthe house , was wholly unfounded . ' He had given his conscientious support to them , because he had cordially approved their policy in domestic affairs—commercial , monetary , and in relation to Ireland . There wero
occasions in which he had supported their foreign policy , which he did not now come forward to condemn ; but he was asked to give his approval ofthe 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 . Pitt , and Mr . Canning , that the true policy of this country 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 the course which
government had taken upon this question , and charged the 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 m his intercourse with Greece , and it must be
relaxed in cases of exigency , for an unbending rule would be the cause of war . . After an allusion to a rumoured fusion of parties on the benches opposite to bim , and attributing the unfounded suspicions cast upon tho policy of the government to foreign agency , he declared that by the verdict of that house , and of tho people of England , he was prepared to abide , fully convinced that the government had preserved at the same time the honour of this country and the blessings of peace . ' ¦ Mr- Disbabm 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 mean * , ' to lay down the rule that , in countries like Greece , every person calling himself a British subject might look for redress to a British adrnjraj , in whoj a . position

j . would it place this country as well as Greece ! , The House of Lords had exercised a solemn duty , and pronounced a censure upon the policy which had led to suoh . terrible results , This house was now asked to ; reverse . that sentence ; but he was persuaded that whatever might be its vote , it would terminate that system , and announce to Europe , and to another hemisphere , that the Parliament of England had resolved that our policy should be conducted with due regard for the rights of other nations . After a brief reply from Mr .. Roebuck , the house divided , when tho numbers wore—Ayes ... ... 310 Koes ... ... 2 B 4 .

Dastardly Attack Upon The Queen. The Exa...
DASTARDLY ATTACK UPON THE QUEEN . THE EXAMINATION AT THE HOME OFFICE . - On -Friday , at twelve o ' clock , the prisoner was taken to the Home Office for examination . On entering tbe room , which contained several persons , the prisoner betrayed no emotion , but took his seaton a chair , to which he was directed by the superintendent . Mr . Huddlestone , the barrister , attended on behalf of tbe prisoner , 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 ofthe charge , but the prisoner declined to put any questions to them , and be was remanded until Friday next , for further examination .
There is little doubt 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 Vine-street station , the prisoner recognised oneef the inspectors , who is a member of a highly respectable family , resident at Wisbeaeb . In the course- of . conversation the officer remarked ; '' I wish to heaven I bad been at your right hand yesterday , and then this should pot have happened . * ' The prisoner replied emphatically , " I wisbjto heaven you had . " He afterwards added , to the same officer , that ' . ' he-bad felt very low for sometime past . "
We trust , however , that such a defence will not i save the dastardly perpetrator of this- unprovoked -attack from a simile *—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 ^ ao the Queen , and for which he I was . transported . The one was a poor man who had ifbr a long time been , out of employment ? ,, and was iotarving ; the other is-a retired lieutenant in- the uurmy , occupying a splendid suite of apartments in ithe west end , of a wealthy family , ap . di living in affluence . We couldigrve many reasons-inestenuation of the one , and condemnation of the-other ,. but shall at present refrain-from doing so , hoping , in the . mean time that ,. i u this case , at least ,, there will not be one law- for the rich and another for the poor . - . . -

LATEST $ mmGN NEWS ; Paris , WEDNE ^ Y . —Thequanrels-between the different sections ofthe reactionary party , are every day increasing in intensity , and Orleanists , Legitimatists , andt Biwmagartists , attack eaoh other in the-moat unmeasured terms . The Legitimatists- hare discovered that they have been completely bamboosled in the matter of the-Electoral Law , and the Opinion Publique publishes a fetter from a leading Legitimatist in one of the departments , stating that the effect of the new law will be to prevent the return of a single Legitimatist for that department ,, either to the Assembly or ; to any '' of the * municipal councils .
On Sunday , Wb persons met to-dine in the rooms of the restaurateur Deffieusj . Boulevard du Temple , at & banquet given in . honour of the election of M .. Giradin . All the hands engaged on every department of the Presse newspaper , editors ,, compositors , printers , clerks , employes , porters , and female folders ofthe journal were present . M . Victeu- Hugo , who undertook so ae-bl y the defencs ^ f the Presse in the Assembly on its arbitrary suspension in July 1848 ,. occupied , among the guests , the distinguished ! rank merited by this service .
One of the- workmen proposed , in energetic language , the health of Girardin , the bold publicist , and Victor Hugo ,, the poet of the Tribune . M . Girardin said ? , in returning thanks , that the Presse had-been founded that day fourteen years , and unfolded the , first copy printed on June . 30 th , 1886 . He proceeded to read long quotations from Victor Hugo and Lamartine , which had appeared in that original sheet . After a speech by Victor Hugo , and a song called " The Hymn of the Workmen" hy one of the printers , ihe banquet broke up .- .. " . "»'
The proposed Press Law will extinguish the greater number of the Legitimatist joarRuIs ; therefore they have now joined tho Republicans in their opposition to it , and tho Bill will probably he thrown out .

A letter from Vienna ofthe 1 st , says : •—Several cases of cholera have again occurred here ; the disease first appeared in the'Leopoldstadt , where two persons who were attacked by it died almost immediately .

Lobd Palmerston in Fbance . —A man with the English name of Cough appeared on Saturday before the tribunal of Correctional Police to answer the complaint of one Nicholas . " I had my pipe in my mouth ,. and was about to lightthe tobacco , " said Nicholas , " for you must know that after supper I always take a pipe . Well , I advanced towards the lamp ofthe public-house , and I hummed a tunc which I like , because it was Palmerton , Palmiton , Marmiton—what's his name ?—" No , no ! never in France Shall the English reign . " " Palmerston , that ' s the name , " growled tho defendant . " Leave out all useless details , and continue , said the President . " But the useless
details are tho pith of tho affair , Mr . President . Well , this young man was vexed to hear me sing—J " No , no ! never in France Shall the English reign !" And I can understand that , for ho is an Englishman , and the English are national like the devil . " I an Englishman I" said the defendant , 'Jper mmpie , I was born at Chaventon le Pont , near Paris . " "But his father is an Englishman , and there is no setting aside blood . Well , he forbade me . to sing the $ o , no ! never , ' because he said it provoked him ; so , to vex him and Palmeston— ' " - " Palmerston I '' growled the defendant . " Good . Palmerston ! So , to vex him and Palmerston , I roared as loud as I
could' No , no 1 never in France Shall the English reign 1 " " You need not repeat tho words so loud , " said the President . " Ah ! Mr . President , I do so to show to this Englishman that we love our country as much as lie does his ' . " "So ho 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 the face , " observed the President , " for singing a song which Frenchmen annrove of . " " I don ' t say the contrary . Mr .
President ; every man is free to havo his opinion . 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 sly glance at the defendant , and murmured— . "No , no . ! never in France , Never , no never I . Never in France , Shall the English reign ! " ,

Wood stated that his client sought to recover £ 8 under the following circumstances : — Two pedestrians , - Briggs ; nnd Woodcock ,. were backed for a foot race . The plaintiff and a Mr .

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 .

His judgmenttold him that this rubbish ) would be-most valuable as-an- article of manure , seeing that amongst it were-linseed , oil , and a variety of other things , which in- a state of oombustroniyielded manure of a valuable-character . In course-of time , aften the fire , this Rubbish and ashes were- put up to- sale by auction by the
insurance offiee-authorities > . ahd were purchased by a person who , having failed' to clear then > offrthe premises within the specified ; term , they were about to be put np > again , when the plaintiff bought them by private contract for £ 7 T 10 s . It appeared that the plaintiff and the defendant were old acquaintances , and that . tho latter ,. in the . previous yearj . ha ' d compounded with his creditors , two circumstances to which was-to be attributed the length of 1 time that had been . given by theplaintiff 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 © arnett-lane , Wandsworth , and therefore an arrangement was come to by the panties that ho should pay iust as . much for it as-they might on some future
day agjsee npon as a reasonable price . The rubbish was in due time sent up to Watney ' s- Wharf at Wandsworth , and amounted to as much ,, as wag alleged ! by tho plaintiff " , as 600 tons . The . rubbish having been sorted ) over on the wharf }' . Seventy sacks-oflinseed were-taken from St ,, and avast quantity of bricks , some iren , some copper , somebrassj . whioh were taken back to the plaintiff ; As the defendant bad ! not been able to pay for the manure at the- time , tho plaintiff * purchasedof him his horse and phaeton for £ 60 l . Eventually theplaintiff madea > claim of £ 275 for the manure ;• so that , deducting tho £ 60 just mentioned ,, he still claimed ^ 21 i " . r- "art Jajines , ; on . the-part of the defendant , contended that this was the most
preposterous demand' that was- ever made ,, for the plaintiff asked the defendant to pay bim £ &&¦ for that which had only cost himself £$ 1 Q : But what made the matter the worso 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 he 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 M 0 , so that he had already , for his outlay of Jit 10 s , realised a sum of £ 80 . But then there were 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 .
MOKCATT V- FAOQ . —A DISSENTIENT JUB . 0 U . Mr . Edward James , with Miv Prentis , conducted the case for theplaintiff ; and Mr . Martin and Mr . Dowdeswell appeared for the defendant , This was an action to recover compensation in damages for the non-delivery of a parcel which the plaintiff had sent to the defendant ' s office , tho White Bear in Piccadilly , to be forwarded to a Mr . Hobbs at Dawnton in the county of Wilts . Tho only question in the case was , whether the defendant , who turns out to he the ^ keoper 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 oftho
particulars . case . It may , however , be stated that Mr . Baron Parke said , the case was one of the clearest he had ever heardthere was no evidence to show that the defendant had in any way represented himself as a " carrier . " —The Foreman of the jury said , that he and several others of tho 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 tho' 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 he your Lordship ' s opinion ; but my opinion is otherwise , and I cannot find for tho plaintiff . —Mr . Baron Parke : If upon your conscience you believe the defendant to bo a " carrier , " of course you will not
find him not to be so ; but I tell you you are wrong . —Tho 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 tho 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 chance of their agreeing ., He would , therefore , suggest that the best course would bo that a juror should be withdrawn . The counsel on both sides having consulted intimated their acceptation of the suggestion . A . juror was accordingly withdrawn . Mr . Baron Parke said , he had never seen a clearer case . The defendant was not liable , but the Southwestern Railway Company were . —The Foreman of the jury said , hoentertainod a very different opinion as a man of business . /

COURT OF QUEEN'S BEIfCH . . nuMPiinvs v . HUMPnnva . This was an notion for false imprisonment ; Mr . Chambers , Q . ft , appeared for tho plantiff , anil Sir F . Thosiger for the defendant . The facts disclosed in evidence were these : —It appeared that the plaintiff , William Humphrys , who laboured under the supposition that he had somo claims against the defendant , George Humphrys , the existence of which the latter denied , was in tho habit of annoying tho defendant , by trespassing upon his grounds and alarming his family . In May last , tho plaintifl 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 . ¦ Tho defendant frequently warned him
to depart , but paying no attention to his remonstrances , a policeman was sent for , and both parlies shortly afterwards appeared before tbe . magistrate . Whilst there , the defendant offered to discharge the plaintiff , provided he would give bim a simple promise , or entrr into his own . recognizance , not to annoy the defendant again . This however , " the plaintiff refused to do , and ho was committed . ' After , his liberation , and in August last he > appoared once more , at nine o ' clock at night , in -front- of the defendant ' s house . He was again warned off , but refused to depart ,, whoreupon the dofondsmt ordered his gardener , who was present , either to tutu him out of tho grounds or 0 wnd fw ¦ for

| his -imprisonment in which was nwde the ground of tho present 1 action *—For the plaintiff it was ; not contended- that the defendant had no riglit to torn the p laintiff who . was a trespasser off hi * grounds , and no complaint was made ofthe' manner in which he'had " availed himself of that right .- But it . was contended that in imprisoning the plaintiff iff the cell in question the defendant had transcended his rightey and had inflicted an injury upon the plaintiff , for which he now called opon the jury to give him damages . —Sir F . Thesiger , in addressing the jury for ibs defendant , recapitulated all the circumstance * of the case to show the great forbearance of the defendant under long continued and systematic 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 whish thoy were subjected had not exceeded his legal rights , as was admitted on the other side , with the single exception of tbe imprisonment in question . But for that imprisonment tbe defendant was not liable , as it was not bis act , but that of the magistrates , the defendant being responsible for nothing which occurred after the S laintiffcame before the magistrates . Lord Campell was about to sum up the facts of the case , when be was interrupted by the jury , who , after a brief consultation , returned a verdict for the defendant . '
CURK V . SAVAGE . —StAKBEH . 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 tho time that railways broke up the . business in which he had been engaged . He then went to reside ' in the neighbourhood of St . John's Wood , where he became acquainted witlr the defendant , who was the son et a man of fortune , from whom he inherited a large fortune . ' After some-. time the defendant proposed to the plaintiff tbat he , the .
plaintiff 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 ithe defendant ' s , conduct was such , in bringjing -certain parties- to the house , and otberiwiee , that the plaistiff considered it impossibie : that" his wife could any longer , remain li » the house .: A * , however , the pta-intiff had ¦ brought considerable- property into the house , hesent his wife away ,, but remained hinwelf i » 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'tbe- court for protection . In March , IStQi , the defendant began to asperse the character of the plaintiff in the most serious-manner , charging
himrepeatedly , and in the-presence and hearing of many people , with the- commission , of unnatural crimes ; . was to protect himself against the injury- whicb such imputations-were calculated to- in > - flicbupon- 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 such as to render them unfit for publication ,.-Mr .

Thodefendant was an eccentric and irritable personj . andmade use of words-in a moment of great heat ,, imply try ; charges which he had no serious-intention of imputing to the plaintiff . —After a few words from Eord Campbell ,, the jury found a verdict ) focthe-pbrotiff , damages £ M ) 0 .
Court Of Common Pleas. Coteley V, B&Mr-S...
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS . COTELEY V , B & mr-SSDlieilON . This case ,, which occupied the Court a part of Tuesday ,, was resumed this morning ( Thursday ^) I It was an action brought by . the plaintiff , who sued ¦ informa ' paniperie for damages sustained by the seduction of his daughter , by the defendant , Mr ; ¦ Bono , a bookbinder ,, of Fleet-street- Mr . Sergeant Sheeand "Mr ; Browne appeared for- the plaintiff ; Mr .. M . Chambers and Ml . Maynard for the defendant .. / Mr .. Sergeant Shee- opened the case for the plaintiff , reciting ; the evidence which he was about ito offer .. The first witness called was the young woman herself ,. Ann CafSey ,. whose evidence was tothe following effect i— She had been a bookfolder in the establishment of Messrs . Bone , employed in folding sheets for the binders . She had also Veen
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 fire in his counting-house , which was on the second floor ; he followed her up stairs , and fetched her the coals and firewood for her to light the fire . After that he brought up some walnuts , and gave her somethins ? out of a bottle which he . said was wine , and which made her stupid and sleepy ; she also drank something out of another bottle , which he said
was gin . He then threw her down on the 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 then went iuto a cupboard while Mr . Bone went to the door , unlocked it , and took tho tea from tho porter . She bad some tea with him , and afterwards went down stairs ,, creeping jun'der the counter to . escape , the notice ofIber .. fellow 1 workwomen , ; and , ( gotjOUt iof . 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 ; hut , 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 the 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 young men and drinking spirits with them , also of going to theatres and concert-rooms unknown to her mother . She had also made assignations , and had made an appointment with a gentleman to take a ride with him in his gig to Kew ; but sho did not do so because it rained on the day appointed . —William
Cuffley , the brother of Ann Cuffley , was the next witness , and he deposed that having learned that his sister was in the family way , ho went with her and his mother to the defendant to prevail on him to make some provision for the child . The defendant , however , refused to do anything in the matter , denying that he had ever had any connexion with witness ' s sister . At a subsequent interview he still persisted in his denial . —Harriet Pounceby and Maria Peacock were called and deposed to tbe attention which the defendant had paid to Ann Cuffley . Tho former witness had been in her company on one occasion when the defendant had taken them to a public-house called the Blue Hart , and treated them to some , refreshment . The second witness deposed
to the defendant ' s having given the girl fruit on I various occasions which she brought down into the warehouse , and shared with her fellow work-women . Also to the fact of Ann Cuffley having been discharged from the service of Messrs . Bone some time after by tho foreman for some alleged misconduct . —Mr . Montague Chambers defended in a speech ot considerable length . The tale of Ann Cuffley , was , he contended , a palpable falsehood , . and after commenting at somo length upon its probabilities , he left it to the jury to say whether they would by their verdict destroy the character and position of the defendant on such evidence as had been adduced in the present case . —His Lordship summed up , and the jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict for the defendant .
