Allen hbtl was published, reflecting M-rioualy on Mr. Smith, and which was i mnrt painful to rti flini. It waa stated In the libel that the decav of the Lichfield Grammar School waa to be attributed to tbe severities practised by the master on the pupils. That two separate cases had undergone investigation before the magistrate, and in one case the boy whom the master bad dealt with so cruelly was under tmrgical treatment for a fortnight, in ronseouenoe of the severities applied to him. This statement, whirh wm wholly false, had been inserted by the defendant in his journal, but in so doing be had not been satisfied with publishing the libel as it onpnally appeared, for he had introduced it by some comments in the form of a letter to the editor, which evinced great ma-liicmtv on tbe part of the writer, and painted him out as the person who had probably poisoned the car of the gentleman who was sent down by the Priv Council on tbe rovtng commission through the midland these disparaging and fnhtinpd circumstances, he hoprd the jury would give exerailary damages.

Scrgennt Tatfourd said it wns a groundless statement to assert that Mr. Allen's report hsd sup- Klied thr defendant with his matter of libel. That had been publMhed authority, and printed as a matter of local interest. The action lay Hgauist thr Government printer, for if Mr. Allen had made a slip in pfibliffhiog that matter, he was misled by tbe Government.

The action wax brought from motives of revenge, and was an uncalled for attempt to nntain money. The Lord Chief Baron summed up. He said there was no evlfjenrr to show that rbe libel bad been originally commuoi-dittd to the defendant, and Lhe question was, whether it appeared from tbe opening obiervaliuns that Allen hd wished to disparage Mr. Smith. The jury, ret a rued a verdict for tbe ages.

JIM). In the Sheriff' Court, on Thursday, au fiction to recover the sum of pic fit and a half eutneas. the price of a chair, was brought by Mr. priprietor of the Bazaar, in Porlman-squure. Hgnmst R.

Ir.in'r M.P., of Richmond-terrace, Whitehall, whose servants am lounn. inprraaea pacicage, or id, ana niDseitaet.tJy more the ai making a quantity of BO odd pounds. When uked how it came in to hi possession, be replied tbat he got it with the brandy to oblige a friend." Mrs. Chappenden, however, who wis present at the time, im met turned round to him and said. I have told you over and over again that I knew you would be caught with it some day or other to which the husband replied that it waa the first time that to show batChappendenwas aware of the concealment he should also be able prove that bis client had been absent from home at the time of his cap tioin a sufficient period to admit of the tobacco being secreted without ia knowledge.

The magistrate said he felt bound to convict tbe defen dant in the full penalties of 125 being three times the amount c. the contraband articles any mitigation must be lett to the discretion i of the Customs' commissioners. In default of paying the money happenden was removed to prison. At the Thames police-office, on Wedrtesdav, an application was made for a war rant by Mr. Henry John Hall, shipowner, of Richards-court, Lime-street, to apprehend three seamen, named Swancey, il ill, and Anderson, who had sitrncd their articles, hut ainee deserted from the ship Princess Royal.

Mr. Hall said that the conduct nf these men brought tn light a new ayntem of swindling, which appeared to be very geriemlly practised by some mariners. The men in question having sicned articles to proceed on a voyage to China and back, received their advanced notes for the payment of it month's wages in the usual manner, and got cashed. They afterwards refused to go out in the ship, and iilly subjected him to great inconvenience. He subsequently p.rcMcdrd to the Seamen's Registry Office, in Hammett-strect, Minories, for the purpose nf delivering their register tickets, which they had detio.v.ted with him.

to the nroner officer, and to his trreat surnrise was in lorn led that the men had obtained new tickets, which would ennh'ti to commit a similar imposition on unothcr shipowner. The fcysteun of reifiwtcriiip senmca was conducted in such lax manner that many of them ohtiitned duplicate tickets, and he was informed by a person who kept a self-constituted register office in the Commercial -road East, that one man had obtained (our or rive separate register tiokets, and produced three of tbem at the same time, boasting he could obtain as many more if he wanted them. The magistrate expressed himself astonished at the imperfect state of tbe avitem of registration, or tl-at it should be bo permitted to exist. He had no doubt taau upon rei.jrcscntation the serious attention of ber Majesty's Government would be turned to it. He was anxious that the case should be mado public, and granted the warrants.

At tbe Tbttroea office, on Wednesday, a case important to tbe public as regards, tht wurth of Post Offlce registrations, came before. Mr. Broderip, by which it appears that the authorities consider themselves not onsacrablf! for Joss or money, railway stock, or any other species of property transit, it ted by letter. Mr. Thotnas Nelson Barclay, the ae- cond malt: of tin.

Hftnrv. from Ichaboe. Ivins: in the. Citv Canal, an- plied for bis worship's interference under tbe following eireiunatancea On tbe Oth of hut month he enclosed a 10 Bank of England note, in a letter, which he addressed to his father, Mr. Alexander Barclay.

postmaster, Dunbar, and registered it at a post office receivins; bouse in High-street, Shadwell, and got the usual receipt. He informed the person who received the registration fee of Is. and the postage, what tbe letter contained, and, in order to show him, made tbe enclosure at the time, and then watered it iu his shop. In course of post he rv- ajeived a letter from hii father lUting that tbe letter wudnlj received, but no bank note. He immediately procaredBai to the General Post Office.

and showed bis father's letter and the receipt of the registration, and gave tbe number of the note 02933. An investigation was commenced, and the note wna traced. It was passed at a shop in the Strand, on tbe evening of the day be posted the letter, by a man who gave a fictitious name and address, Hill, 3, intact, the note must have been converted into cash before tne mail which carried tbe letter had quitted London. Tbe proof of' abstraction in London was quite clear, and what was more, the number of tbe note which he mentioned in tlie letter was altered from 02923 to 12923, no doubt to render detection more difficult. The erasure of tbe cypher, snd the substitution of tbe figure I in tbe letter was palpable, but having mentioned the real number of tbe note in a previous letter, the Pout Office authorities were enabled 'to trace it.

Tbat wax all tbey bad done. The thief had not been traced, and the Post Office had not made him any compensation. Tbe letter was endorsed, on ita return, aa follows: "This wax regularly received in the'osnxJ general coarse, bur there was no enclosure. Alexander Barclay, postmaster, Dunbar-" Mr. Barclay should like to know why the General Post Office advised registration, and what tbe shilling was charged for.

In tbe London Postal Direc tory it was stated mat Uie system or registration pronaea a secure mode of transmitting hank notes, bank post bills, drafts, Sec." This was calculated to mislead the public, if no redress was given. Mr. Ik ode rip said the Pott Office waa under the control of her Majesty's Poatoiaater-General, and be could not assist or advise the 'applicant. He had no control over the servant of tbe Post Ofllce, Mr. Barclay then left the of the hardship of the case.

Gompertx stated the fact of Parker agreeing to advance the large loan to Captain Rose, out of which Sir Georac Rose was to receive 436.000. and various other deductions being made, XJU.00O would be left fur the purposes nf Uaptain Kose.

the father, contended that the whole machinery wai directed by Gompertx, who had made tools of his two sons, and deceived Smith as to the existence of Parker. Tbe estate ot Captain Rose he considered worth nothing. The younger witnams had certainly acted imprudently, but with nn criminal intent and Mr. Witham was wholly bnnngnizant of the drcumstances. Tbe evidence showed in no resiiect that any money waa to come to Witham.

The entire pmceeds of the bills for 4118.000 were entirely to be divided between Gompertx and Rose. Mr. Watson, on behalf of Robert Witham, the son, contended that there waa no proof of his conspirinr. or a likelihood of the least gain. Mr.

W. H. Smith, attorney, said that on the representations ot uom pertx, ne ruiiy oeiieved rarker io oe an existing party, ana ti-tham, the father, asked him to act for Parker, who was said to be a mort sure, as he i Witham 1 desired to act for Csntain Rose, who at an other time remarked that neither he (Smith) nor Witham appeared to know Mr. rarker.

In the Court of Exchequer, on Tuesdav. an action was brought bv Mr- W.

LacVa tbe comedian, attainst Mr. Rutin, the lessee of Corent- garden, to recover damages for a breach of an engagement, Mr. Lacy having undertaken to perform the principal parta in light comedy at that theatre during the season of IfMX Mr. Martin, on behalf of Mr. Lacy, said that tbe real question to be sub rait ted to tbe jury wu, whether the port of Ferdinand, in Tbe Tempest," waa light comedy or not and, ridiculous as this question might seem in the first instance, became in thia rase one ol importance to the members of the theatrical profession, and especially tn the plaintiff.

Mr. Lacy had undertaken an engagement at Covrnt-garden at a very smalt salary (we understood 476 a week), with the understanding that be was only to be called upon to perform the principal parts in light comedy. The first pan penorniea ny nr. Lxcy, unucr nis agreement wiui xnr minn, was a character in a piece called "The Highwayman," written by Mr. Morton.

The plaintiff was next called upon to perform Ferdinand in Tbe Tempent," which he declined upon the ground that it waa not a character within the terms of his ennrement. Mr. Bunn insisted that tbe character of Ferdinand fell within the drscnntion of lisht corned v. Toe learned counsel then read Ariel description ot Ferdinand, ana oilier pnwMges irom int tempest, to snow mat rerthnanu was a grave and Mrtous unaracter, nnd not one well adapted to a liuhl comedian and was never slaved bv anv comedians such as Mr. C.

In the Court of Exchequer, on Thursday, an action for breach of contract waa brought by Messrs. Rigby against the company of tbe I.

the defendants obtained a lease of these pre mises from the Western Railway Com nan v. far ninety-nine years, at the rate of Id. a year. The covenants of tbe lease were of a very peculiar character. Messrs.

Riebv undertook to provide refreshments ftr passengers at a scale of charge to be fixed by the directors, and the company undertook that nil their trains with paiuiengers should stop for reaunnabie time, any about ten minutes, at ine awtniion station, un-Iitn the goods trains, express trains or especial train, or unless in HOmectu nf emergency or accidental delay. Tbe company undertook to do nothing which would prevent Messrs. Uigby from being remunerated for their outlay, and tiw breach alleged wan that tbe company had established a train to Exeter which did not stop at the Swindon station. The railway to Exeter was opened in August, and in March last the company dispatched what was called a nuick train' from London to Exeter, in five hours. This train stopped at Swindon, and great profit accrued to Messrs.

Rigby from the passengers. On the 12th of May, however, the company substituted for the naiek train thev called tbe the express train," for nasBenaers aruv. which went from London to Exeter in four hours and a half, without stopping at swindon. ny mis arrangement it was sain great josh nan oeen sustained by tbe Messrs. Rigby, as the express train carried first class passengers, On tbe part of the company it was argued that all that they had ever intended by the covenant with Messrs.

Rigby was to give them the exclusive advantage of the stoppage of the ordinary trains at Swindon. It waa never intended, it was said, to injure the' public by interfering with the improved means of travelling, or to stop at Swindon for teu minute when it waa unnecessary. The express train was an extraordinary train, in respect to which no stoppage waa necessary, tbe passengers paying extra for tbe speed. It was also stated that the Messrs. Rigby had underlet to Mr.

GrifBtfaa, rrceiving a premium of and a rent of 1.100 cer annum, an that thev are bjoibIv rnmnnsMrataul for their outlay. The Lord-Chief Baron thought the construction of the contract was too nountTut either rar nimaeu or the jurrtohnd a confident verdict upon. His lordship suggested that it had better be referred to 'arbitration, and the jury, concurring in his lordship1! opinion, were discharged without giving any verdict. In the Court of Exchuuuer, on Thursday, an action for libel was brought bv tbe Rev. Mr.

Smith, head master of the Grammar School at Lichfiefd, against tbe proprietor of The Wolverhampton Chronicle Mr. Jervis said Mr. Smith was a clergyman of the Church of England and bad been the master of the School at Lichfield since 181.1. The school had been established for many years, and some of tne most eminent persons Known to tne uteracure oi tne country nsu been educated at it amongst others, Addison, Dr. Johnson, and Gar-rick.

The fundi of the school, however, had dropped by lapse of time, and an income remained qaite insufficient for the support of the school. The plaintiff endeavoured to prevent the school from falling by taking in scholars from the boys resident with their parents in the town of Lichfield, and had actually taken in pupils for so small a sum as tw guineas a year. These expedients, however, were unsuccessful to rahta sufficient sum to defray the necessary and inevitable expense of the school, and for seven years past there had been no scholars. The income payable to the plaintiff as bead master was about 100 per ann. These being tbe circumetancea of the case, in tbe years 1042 and 1813, gentleman, named Allen, also a clergyman, one of the instiectora sent down by the Committee of the Privy Council Board on Education to investigate the state of the schools in Staffordshire, made a report of which minutes were published.

Dickinson, Mr. Britton, and most of the leading members of the publishing and bookselling trades. On the removal of the cloth the chairman, in a highly appropriate manner, proposed the health of her Majesty, which waa followed by other toasts of the usual character. He then proceeded tn advocate the cause of tbe institution in aid of which they bad assembled, which hsd rapidly passed through a period of probation, and now took its stand as prrrnanent esUblubinent. It was at present constituted of 455 members with a prospect of increasing numbers and had an invested capital exceeding 14,000, after relief of the few claims which bad hitherto arisen.

The toast of Success to the Booksellers' Provident Institution," was received with much enthusiasm, and an earnest of nnaoimoos approbation. The health of Mr. NUbet. the president, was proposed bv Mr. Britton; and that of Mr.

On the preceding morning lie left his residence for tbe purpose of attending a railway committee of the House of Commons. He then appeared in etcellrnt health and spirits, and a few miniires before he left home was transacting business with Mr. Symous, the chief clerk of the Thames Police Court. About four o'clock be was seized with illness in one of tbe coenrnittee-rooms of the House of Commons, and medical assistance was called in.

He aria conveyed to his own residence with nil possible expedition, and sedruoualy attended, but lie expired on tbe following morning. The deceased gentleman was at the head of the shipping interest or the port of Landou, and hia vessels at the present moment are in all parts of tbe world. Mr. Somes was of bumble origin, and by his industry and perseverance amassed considerable wealth. His father was a waterman and a lighterman, and he intended bis son for the same business, and he eras actually bound at Waterman's Hall, but subsequently abandoned the oars and sculls for a more lucrative business.

He waa en. lirely tbe architect of bis own fortune, and succeeded in accumulating tctt considerable wealth. Mr. Somes's fleet has been a nursery for his seamen, and every captain in his employ originally entered his service as an apprentice, and under his fostering care gradually worked hia way up to be commander. His business premises in Broad-street, Ratcl'iff, were for many years the daily resort of hundreds who reason to be proud of his integrity and straightforward conduct in all transactions of life.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE HON- CAPTAIN DE SALIS.

A distreasiDK and fatal accident occurred on Wednesday evening; to Captain Charles Lewis de Salis. aaed twenty -four, of the Scots Fusilier Guard, in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace.

Captain de Salis made an effort to recover him-elf, but without effect, for the horse fell violently and rolled over him. He was instantlv conveyed to the slum of Mr. Woo liner, chvmiat. and attended by Messrs. Judd and Driver, of Arabella-street, when it was found be had received a concussion of the brain.

Notwithstanding every medical awiitarjce he expired the next morning at eight o'clock.

He was also labouring under concusiiion of tbe brain. He waa put to bed, and treated for concussion without success, for he gradually sunk, and died on Thursday evening at eight o'clock. Thomas Gannonswys, a groom, said that on Wednesday even ing, ahout six clock, ne waa aoouc to exoas tbe Victorta-road from Brewer-street, when be saw deceased and Lord Douglas cantering slowly by. Just aa they were passing, deceased's horse, a pony, made a long stumble of five or six yards, in. consequence of its hitting one foreleg against the other, and in trying to recover itself it struck the hind foot with the pastern joint of the near fore-leg.

It then stopped suddenly, and deceased fell on the off-side, tbe pony rolling an to him. Witness picked him up bleeding and insensible, and took him to the surgery of the first witness. Mr. H.

He aaid he would not have his children bullied by her, and she said she bad not done so hn also knocked ber bead against the wall with such force aa to break the combs which were in her hair, and, after abusing her, and calling her such names as she was ashamed to repeat, be pushed her against the which he would no doubt have thrown her, had she not held firmly by one of tbe rails. She screamed out as londiy aa possible for assistance, and the cook nn up from tbe kitchen to the bottom of the first-floor staircase, bnt waa afraid to come any further, Mr. Anderson being so very violent and passionate a man. Mrs. Anderson, on seeing how she (complainant) was treated, said to defendant, Fur Heaven's sake leave her alone." Complainant added that both her arms were bruised.

She exbibited one of them to the magistrate. Ellen Taylor (the cook) said she beard her master use very improper language, and she thought lie was going to throw complainant over the banisters. Mr. Anderson waa Chen called upon bythemagistrateto give his answer. He As I waa sitting at tea the child came running down with her tinner breeding, and said that complainant had cut it.

I then went up ti her (tbe Utter) when she called me a wretch and other names, upon which I desired her to quit the premises. She said she should not do so by my compulsion, and I then laid hold of her arm to remove her, but used no more violence than wasabsolutely necessary. She struggled, and. laying bold of my shirt, tore it." Defendant further said that the banisters were of such a construction that he could not possibly hare thrown ber over, nor had he any intention whatever of doing anything of the sort- The magistrate considered that impropcrviolence had been used, and lined Mr. Anderson 2Us.
