In this case several questions were mooted, but the only one >" hich it became necessary for the Court to decide related to the construction of the Stamp A c t , with regard to policies of insurance where an alteration is made in the original destination or the voyage, The action had been brought against one of the members of the late S t . Patrick's Insurance Company in Ireland, on two policies, one on the ship Hebe, and the other cn the freight of that s h i p .— The risk first insured was at and from Liverpool to Quebec, and by a memorandum at the foot of the policies, two or three months after the insurance was effected, the voyage was changed from Liverpool to S t . John's, New Brunswick. The question at the trial was, whether this was a new contract which required fresh stamp to the policies. Lord Tenterden was of opinion that it was; and the plaintiff was allowed to recover only on the premium paid in respect of the insnrarce on the freight, A rule Nisi for a new trial having been obtained, the case was now argued by Mr. F. POLLOCK and Mr. HUTCHINSON on the part of the plaintiff, and by the ATTORNEY- GENERAL and Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant. T h e COURT, after a full consideration of the various clauses in the Stamp Act, were of opinion that no additional stamp was necessary, and therefore ordered the rule to be made absolute. EX- PARTE GRIFFIN. Mr. KELLY moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Lord Teynham and Mr. Hinde, his attorney, for a libel on Messrs. Robert and Edmund Griffin, eon-| tabled in a letter published in the Kentish Gazette newspaper of the 18th inst. The subject of the letter, the Learned Counsel observed, related to certain proceedings which had taken place in the Court of Chancery and Common Pleas. The pre-] sent Lord Teynham, conceiving he hud a claim to an estate of a gentleman named Tyler, filed a bill in Chancery against Major Tyler, and amongst othei things prayed that an issue might be directed to a court of law to try whether Henry, the twelfth Lord T e j i i h a m , was of sound mind at the time he suffered a recovery of the estate in question. The attornev for Major T y l o r was Mr. Edmund Griffin, one ol the parties on whose behalf the present application was made. It having been determined that an issue should be tried, a good deal of negotiation took place between Mr. Griffin and Lord Teynham's attorney, as to certain admissions to be made at the itrial. After considerable discussion, an arrangement which appeared to be satisfactory to both parties, was made, and the trial came on before the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas and pecial jury in Octobei last. A great body of evidenca was produced on both sides, and the trial, which occupied three days, terminated in a verdict for ihe defendant, the jury not waiting to hear the whole of the Learned Judge'.- summing up. In the following teim, Lord Teynhani applied to the Court of Common Pleas, by his counsel, for a rule to set aside the verdict and for a new trial. The motion was made on several grounds, but the one on which alone the Court granted the rule was, that some ac- j counts of a deceased steward of the late L o r d Teynliam had been improperly received in evidence. Tile rgument upon the rule came on in the course of the last term, when the Court, without hearing the defendant's counsel, thought proper to discharge the rule. A few days after the rule had been disposed of, an account of the proceedings appeared in the] Kentish Gazette, and Major T y l e r having seen it,] and observed some inaccuracies relating principally to matters of a technical nature, and to some points of law, not at all involving any question as to tbe character or conduct of any of the parties, wrote to his mtorney, Mr. Edmund Griffin on the subject, requesting he would send to the editor of the newspaper, and get them corrected. Mr. Griffin accord-] ingly wrote to the editor, pointing out the inaccuracies alluded to, and having seen in the Morning Chronicle newspaper a correct report of the proceeding!, he sent that paper to the editor o( the Itochcster Gazette, and requested him to correct his repori by inserting that from the Morning Chronicle. The] editor inserted Mr. Griffin's letter, which contained] no imputation against Lord Teynlmin, whose name WHS not mentioned, nor himself or his family alluded to. A short time after this letter appeared, a letter,! bearing the signature of L a r d Teynham, and sent to the editor through Mr. Hinde, his Lordship's attorney, was published in the Kentish Gazette. It pur-] ported to be an answer to Mr. Griffin's letter, and began t h u s : — " Haying read in your paper of June1 1, an article signed ' E d m u n d Griffin,' relative to my hue trial, in an ejectment ill the Common Pleas, against Mujor T y l e r , and as the object of that article is to prejudice the future proceedings in this important cause, I rely upon your candour, and upon your impartiality, toinsertalso my statement. I hope I shall not be wrong in slating who this Edmund Griffin is, and how he becomes interested in these proceedings. I am informed that he is the son of a waiter at Brookes' Club, and that his father either kept or frequented a hell, where T y l e r , the father, was a frequent visiter. There a connexion began, which ded in the marriage of T y l e r ' s eldest daughter, by the youngest Miss Roper, with this Griffin's brother. He is now dead, and the young tvoman mar-] ried again to John Cook, son of the footman and lady's- maid K i t t y , so often mentioned in that trial. It is therefore a family connexion of Griffins and Tylers against m e . " It then proceeded to make a most unwarrantable attack upon the defendant's Counsel in the cause. The Learned Counsel would not trouble the Court with any more of the letter, Mr. BRODERICK moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue to the proprietors of the Mersey Navigation Ctinal, com-] manding them to divide the shares of the proprietors into shares ef 300/. each, and pay over a certain number to the gentleman on whose behalf the application was made. The Learned Counsel stated,] that the Mersey Canal Company was estnblishe by an A c t passed in the 13th year of George II., and their capital under that A c t was not to exceed 30,000/., which were to be divided into shares of 300/. each, at a price not exceeding 100/. per share, and no person was to become a proprietor of less than one or more than ten shares. The Company had raised 11,000/. or 12,000/. only, which they had divided into shares of 158/. each, instead of! 130/., and some of them held more than ten shares, contrary to the A c t of Parliament, the consequence of which was that they had acquired u monopoly. The party now applying had become a shareholder only about two years ago, and he found that this! Company had become monopolists, which was what the Act of Parliament had intended to provide against. If their present mode of proceeding were allowed, one person might become the proprietor of| all the shares, and so maintain a monopoly over all the others. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE— If we were to grantl this application, we should entirely disarrange the system of the Company ; their affairs could not g o on. Mr. BRODERICK— This is just what we waist We wish to break up the monopoly. Lord TENTERDEN— You require them to do that which is now utterly impossible. If the shares have been 158/. each, how can the Company now divide them into 300/.? We cannot interfere.— R u l e refused. P A R L I A M E N T A R Y P R O C E E D I N G S. HOUSE OF COMMONS. DttOri'F.

T l i e letters received to- day in Paris from Ton- Ion and the coast of Africa, add but little to the information furnished by the bulletins which have been published ; or the information w hich they so furnish does not agree very well with the official reports. Thus it is said in some of the letter^ that our troops met with much resistance at Torre- Chica, and that it was carried by our troops : whilst | the bulletins say that it had been abandoned by the enemy. " I t is also stated, that our loss amounted to 50 men killed, amongst whom were some officers; and the official reports only spenk of 20 men, and do not mention any officers. " According to one of these letters, Genernl Bourmont was not only covered with sand but brown down, as well as two General Officers, by an obus striking the ground at his feet. According The long slumbering spirit of hostility betwixt the kingdoms broke out during his regency with an explosion so sudden, that it had well nigh cost Morton, the most devoted of] Elizabeth's partisans, the forfeiture of her protection. On the 3d of May, 1575, a inarch meeting for the redress of mutual grievances! was held between Sir John Foster, warden of] the west inarches of England, a particular favourite of Elizabeth, and Sir John Carmiehael, an esteemed follower of the Regent Morton, whom lie bad named keeper of the middle marches of Scotland. The wardens, each supported by the most warlike clans of their districts, met at a place called the Reedsquair, on! tbe frontier between the kingdoms, and near the ] source of the water of Reed another letter, a cannon- ball covered him with mud. " M. Duperre says, that two seamen planted the j white flag on the fort and the tower. Private letters I say that several seamen, armed with stones, had at- I tacked the fort, and driven from it the Algerines. | At the same time the light companies drove the Arabs from a little battery which they were serving, | and took possession of it. " The result of all these letters is, that both j soldiers and seamen displayed the greatest emulation ; j and in consequence the landing was effected with a ; celerity which was almost miraculous. A private letter meritions a fact not without importance, but of which no trace is to be found in the official re- , ports. We give it without guaranteeing its exac,- i u e s s :— " ' T h e 13th of June, in the afternoon, the fleet was before the peninsula of Sidi- Ferruch, and every preparation was made for landing ; but the Consul ' of Sardinia had found means to escape disguised | from his country- home in the neighbourhood of The persons Al g i e r s , a„ n„ d„ m,..„ a„ d„ e k n own to the Gene r a l s the dis- j against whom the English had made complaintsipositjons of the enemy, which rendered necessary had been delivered up according to custom ; but. iSOme modifications in the plan of landing previously when the same justice was demanded on thelagreed upon.

R O B B E R Y O F L O R D L O N D O N D E R R Y. I had been at the opera, and afterwards at a ball, and had returned late to the hotel de Montesquieu, in the rue de Monsieur, where I was fortunate enough to be quartered; and here it may be observed, that on the entrance of the hostile armies into Paris, the best hotels were taken possession of by the Sovereigns and their snite, the Ambassadors, General Officers, and Ministers belonging to, or at the respective head- quarters. In these magnificent palaces, for some time, the new inmates lived at free quarters until regularity and order became established in the capital. I ean never forget the kindness with which I was treated at the hotel above mentioned, nor the hospitality and friendship I received from its possessors. Returning home at two o'clock in the morning as I before stated I partook of my usual supper, which was always prepared for me, and taking off my hussar jacket and trappings, I threw them on my bed. On my pelisse I wore my stars and foreign orders i ( s o m e of which I had set in diamonds). My bed- rooms and suite of apartments were on the rcz de chaussSe, and large French folding sashes opened into the garden, which communicated with the boulevards that surround Paris. These, owing to the heat of the night, were all open. On my tables in my room were my red despatch boxes, containing interesting and valuable papers and documents, and every thing of real worth I had in the world. Disembarrassing myself of my clothes, and overcome by fatigue and sleep, I got into bed, and my slumbers, fortunately, were profound, for when I awoke in the morning I found thieves ( and no doubt assassins if I bad stirred from my heavy sleep) had entered in the night, and had cleared the room of every article belonging to me; my official boxes, uniforms, and clothes taken from my very bed; my swords and pistols, all my stars and orders; and in short every thing I possessed. I actually found myself without the means of getting up ; for the commodes were also pillaged, and the whole clean carried off'. This daring robbery made much noise at Paris at the moment, and every effort was tried by the police to lead to a discovery; but all proved vain. I had reason to believe afterwards that a French valet de chambre I engaged on en tering Paris was an accomplice, if not the chief this robbery.— Lord Londonderry's but proceed to state generally the affidavits wbichjgaetor in the two Mr. Griffins had made in support of ihv^ Narrative of the War in Germany and France, DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY.

Foster answered haughtily, and bid him match himself with his equals. This spark was enough to produce a blaze in an atmosphere so inflammable. The men of Tynedale, the fiercest of the English borderers, shot off a volley of arrows among the Scottish, who, surprised and greatly inferior in numbers, began to retreat. At this moment the array of the citizens of Jedburgh was discovered advancing to the place of conflict: the ranks of' the Scots were restored ; and the parties joined battle with the slogan, or war- cry, of " To it, Tynedale!" answered by that of " Jeddart's here!" The English arrows were requited by a volley of bullets, the Scots being superior in fire- arms. The fortune of the day was effectually turned: the English retired, rallied, and finally fled, leaving their leader, Sir John Foster, with Sir Cuthbert Collingwood, and other gentlemen of distinction, prisoners. Sir George Heron of Chipchase, with several other Englishmen, were slain.— Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cy-\ M U R D E R O F R I Z Z I O. When it was settled that Rizzio should die, the manner of his murder was next debated. Morton, Ruthven, and others of their party, proposed that the Secretary should be seized as he crossed the court of the Palace, or in his own lodgings, and then destined to the fate which Cochrane underwent, when the chief of the Douglas family acquired the title of Bell- tlie Cat. But nothing would satisfy Darnley save that the victim should be seized in the presence of the Queen herself, that she might share the alarm, and hear the taunts with which it was his purpose to upbraid her favourite. Considering that the Queen was seven months advanced in her pregnancy when such a scene of violence and horror was to be acted in her presence, we recoil from the brutality alike of him who planned and of those who calmly undertook to execute an action so brutal and unmanly. On the 9th of March, 1566, this bloody and extraordinary scene was acted. The Queen was seated at supper in a small cabinet adjoining to her bed- room, with the Countess of Argyl Rizzio, and one or two other persons. Darnley suddenly entered the apartment, and without addressing or saluting tbe company, gazed on Rizzio with a sullen and vindictive look. After him followed Lord Ruthven, pale and ghastly, having risen from a bed of long sickness to be chief actor in this savage deed ; other armed men appeared behind. Ruthven called upon Rizzio to come forth from a place which he was unworthy to hold. The miserable Italian, perceiving he was the destined victim of this violent in Irusion, started up, and seizing the Queen by! the skirts of her gown, implored her protection Mary was speedily forced by the King from his hold. George Douglas, a bastard of the Angus family, snatched the King's own dagger from his side, and struck Rizzio a blow; lie was then dragged into the outer apartment, and slain with] fifty- six wounds. The Queen exhausted liersel in prayers and entreaties for the wretched man's life ; but when she was at length informed that her servant was slain, she said, " I will then dry my tears, and study revenge." During the perpetration of this murder, Morton, the Chancellor] of the Kingdom, whose duty it was to enforce] the laws of the realm, kept the doors of the1 Palace with one hundred and sixty armed men, to insure the perpetration of the murder,— Dr Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia. hills, at the distance of about a cannon- shot. Tliei batteries were even masked by a quantity of underwood collected for the purpose. The enemy hoped, that seeing the coast abandoned, we should have thought that we were expected in another direction ; and in that case ihey would have suddtnly sallied from their positions, brought their batteries to bear upon us, and, attacking in this manner the v. lirst troops which should have landed, they would , have rendered the disembarking of the troops very t Idifficult. This plan was very well conceived. In consequence of the information received from land, the necessary measures wero taken i b o a r d the fleer. Vessels were stationed, so that their fire could command the rear of the enemy's batteries, and be directed against its troops, when they sought to descend into the plain. " ' On the 14th, at two in the morning, began t h e landing on the peninsula of Sidi- Ferruch. At day- light, 10,000 men were landed; and at nine o'clock almost all the remainder of the infantry was assembled on the coast, with a part of the field ] artillery. There is no example ou record of 25,000 | men having been disembarked with such prompti- | tuue. This great result arises from the precaution taken to organize a flotilla of boats, provided with moveable bridges, for facilitating the landing. Our army advanced from the peninsula in squares and j lose columns, with sharp- shooters in the intervals. As soon as the advance commenced, about 30 guns in the A l g e r i n e batteries opened upon us, and kept up a very brisk fire, to which the ships of war replied. " ' Masses of Arabian cavalry, which were estimated at 12,000 or 15,000 men, descended into the plain, whilst nearly an equal number of infantry were posted on the heights. The cavalry was forced to retreat by the terrible fire of the fleet. " ' I t was necessary to take from the enemy the positions which commanded the Peninsula, where we had established our depot and our point of com munication with the coast. B u t these positions fe being partly intrenched, and partly too steep, the plan of attack was changed, in order to turn them fv on the side of Algiers, so that w » might cut off the ^ retreat of the enemy, or force him to retire. The division of General Berthezeue, charged with the Siexecution of this operation, was attacked, on its flank, with considerable vigour, by repeated charges F of cavalry, which all failsd in consequence of the good order, the discipline, and the coolness of our i* infantry. The enemy, seeing that h » could not ar- surest the progress of this division towards the road ? leading to the town, determined on evacuating his camp, where he left a part of his artillery. The f Algerine Army is estimated at 60,000 men— half cavalry. Some of these troops have been disciplined according to the European method. " ' The Arabs have collected, it is said, 2,000 camels, to be employed by them to maik their rapid movements when they are attacking the French, and to throw our infantry into disorder by driving there I" animals amonstit. This manoeuvre suceeeded against the Spaniards in 1 7 7 5 , and caused the destruction j of a whole corps of Walloon Guards.' " A letter from Torre- Chica, doted the 14th of f June, after giving a detail of the damage done to ' several vessels by their running foul of one another " coming out of Toulon, proceeds to state a6 f o l l o w s :— *'• " ' On the 27th of May, at day- break, two f i > ?' gates came in sight, sailing towards France. One of them, as soon as she perceived the fleet, hoisted her number, and was thus recognized as the Duchcssc de Berry; on approaching us, she saluted by a ound of 13 guns, and her commander cime in a boat to the Admiral's vessel. The other vessel carried a Turkish flag on - h e r poop, and on her main the square flag, a distinctive mark of au Admiral's vessel. Vice- Admiral Duperre, as inferior in rank, saluted first by a round of 21 guns. The Turks returned the salute in the same manner.

" The fleet cast anchor yesterday, between three and six of the afternoon, and to- day by nine the lauding was effected,— that is to say, the shore was free. The French flig was hoisted on the small tower, and the Bedouins sought for security in flight, for they found that t h e woods and ravines behind which they hud concealed themselves to oppose our soldiers were insufficient to attain tlieir object. " Yesterday morning at half- past four we descried the coast of Africa ; we were then at about seven leagues ami a half north- cast of Algiers, whose form appeared to us a spherical triangle at seven o'clock,! when we perceived the town very distinctly. " At a quarter to seven the Admiral gave orders to dear the ships for action. At first we expected to meet with great resistance. " A proclamation of ihe Commander- in- Chief, published the 8th, before Majorca, had announced thnt inmensc numbers of Arabs, accompanied by camels, which thev intended to make use of as a species of ramparts, were ready to eppose us on the s l i o i e ; it had also been aaid that the bay of Torres Chica was covered with cannon. It was therefore very natural that we should prepare for action. Tile Admiral approached the land towards two o'clock, leaving the convoy with the reserve at sea, as well I as the second squadron. lie anchored under the fire of the White Buttery, all the vessels were t o| leeward of him, forming a line, and ready to com' meuce firing. But it was not required. The fort fired five or six stmts and two or three bombs, one of the latter burst over the Brcs/ au), and woimded| a few men. After that, all was done for the day. ON nearly every occasion in which our attention has been called to the conduct of the Royal Courts of Fiance, we have seen only subjects for praise. Equally elevated above ihe passions of the multitude and the influence of the Administration,— equally sjfree from the bias of temporary p o l i t c s , or new theories of power,— they hold on their course, dispensing justice arid law equally to all, and securing general approbation, while they repel partial e c o - logies. In a country so much agitated as France | has been for the last f ew years, with a press alternately almost smothered under a censorship, and rioting in the consciousness of extorted freedom, these courts hud a most difficult" task to perform, to preserve the benefits of free discussion for the pcopli without encouraging by their protection illegal attacks on the conduct or designs of Government. Being left nearly absolute masters of the press of France, by the want, of j u r y trial, by the power conferred upon them of judging of tendency ( a power happily now abolished), and by appeals in all cases from the decisions of the courts of correctional police, they seemed only to be rendered less inclined to abuse their trust by their enlightened appreciation of the invaluable deposit left in their hands. In tile present electoral contest, the ysame Royal Courts have added another laurel to their judicial Crown by their intrepid firmness and | noble independence amid contending factions. In trials of the Press t'ney were only required to administer the law with impartiality and intelligence. In the present instance they were required to add to their other virtues promptitude, patience, and indefatigable industry. The Royal Court of Pari in particular had to throw on the altar of j u s t i c e tin sacrifice of its ease, and the fruits of its extraordinary toil, in addition to the more common offering of its integrity and knowledge. In the course of ten d i y s ( from the 9th to the 20th inst.) this tribunal, which transacts the judicial business of seven departments, sat and decided on 857 cases of elee- ' oral claims or complaints. In 058 of thc6e cases its dccisions- r/ crc in favour of the claimants; so that electors to that great amount would have been dc-| prived of the opportunity of exercising their civic rights oil an occasion interesting to the welfare, if not decisive of the fate, of their country, but for tbe extraordinary example of activity and zeal which the Judges thus displayed. In order that some of our readers who may not have paid attention to the French electoral laws may understand the urgency and importance of the dutiethus devolved upon the Royal Courts, it may be useful to state the changes introduced by an act of the last Ministry. Formerly, if proprietors entitled to political suffrages were aggrieved, either by seeing their own names excluded from the electoral lists, when their right to vote was established by their financial census, or by seeing those of others occupying their place, who had not attained the requisite ige, or did not pay the requisite contributions, they could only appeal from the Prefect, or the Council of Prefecture, to tlie Council of State, or to the Chamber of De- Duties. Formerly, too, no fixed period was appointed for making out the lists of persons entitled to be members of the electoral colleges. '-$ i- iy mi admirable law which passed under the Mar " t'gnuc Admin, stratioti, this state of tilings was remedied, and greater security given to the rights of the lectors. In that law it was enacted that the elecfthe sixth application they have made for an increase! ! of their powers. A more Jesuitical course could notj | have been adopted. Had they applied at once forj lull they now demand, the public would have been' li'oused: but proceeding thus by steps— asking little' lat a time— no alarm has been occasioned. Someindi- I aviduals, of unobjectionable character, in whom great] Iconfidence is deservedly placed, arc to be found in Ithe Commission; but they take a very small parti | iii the proceedings, and it was known, when theyj I were originally named, that their professional avo-| Ications would prevent their attendance. The House I of Commons should not only be vigilant, and prei v e n t t h e proposed Bill from being smuggled through 1 without due examination, but should inquire whe- I tiler, instead of increasing the powers of these func- Itionaries, it would not rather be expedient to dirnignish those which they already possess. Many Iparishes in the present day are infested with weak, | t h o u g h sometimes well- meaning inhabitants, who gaffect canonization ; but as a journey to Rome since 8the Reformation would be fruitless, they are • compelled to be contented with annoying their " neighbours by the erection of chapcls and the j introduction into their pulpits of teachers, who teach all the conflicting doctrines, that are bewildering the brains of the various denominations of religionists, that are nominally members of the church. The incumbent is set at nought. In the first instance, nothing could be done without his consent. Now, whenever a half- witted man of opulence, under the influence cf a silly woman ( for femaleire generally at the bottom of this folly), chooses to build a chapel, and endow a Minister with a small salary, from that moment the incumbent of the mother- church has no veto, nor any controul There may be half a dozen, or half a hundred chapels ( ns the Commissioners have now hud the law made) open at once in a parish, in which different and opposite tenets are delivered from the pulpit. It is no uncommon tiling in the same parish to hear Sunday considered as a fast by one preacher and as a festival by another— to hear tbe sacred volume described as mischievous, if read without note or comment, in one district chapel, and in the next to hear those notes and comments condemned as useless and wicked— in a word, every variety of Calvinistic and Arminian doctrine is often taught in the same parish, where district chapels have been founded. The illiberal conduct of many of the bishops, who, by pragmatical meddling in all matters within their dioceses, had forfeited the character of gentlemen, which adds a grace to even Christian v i i t u e s — t h e authority with which all bishops are armed ( however- considerably exercised, with ti proper regard to the feelings of their brethren, by some excellent members of tiie b e n c h ) — t h e inquisitorial system adopted in some sees, setting the parish officers to net as spies upon their c l e r g y — t l it | provisions of the residence and curates, acts almost| j savagely enforced in some instances, had already broken the spirit and destroyed the independence of incumbents; but this measure has completed and consummated I heir degradation.

Very shortly, indeed, after assum-- jjing this character, such an event occurred;! Ithough without, ( at that time, producing any 1 propitious result. A clergyman of respectable; Iappearance had taken lodgings in Lymington, fori Itbe purpose of autumnal- bathing, and amusing! 5himself wish a little partridge- shooting. The hos- i Ipitable Mr. Hackman, ever attracted towards! ia brother sportsman, by a sort of magnetic linfluence called upon tbe stranger; shot with lliim ; and invited him to his house. The in | vita*. ions were repeated and accepted, as often as I the shooting- days recurred ; nor bad many taken Iplaoe, ere their natural effect on a young, unmarried clerk was produced. He became deeply ^ enamoured of Miss Bere, and offered her his hand. She, for aught I know, might have been I' nothing loth'^ to change the condition of a | recluse, for tbe more active character of a cler- Igyman's wife ; but, as the gentleman had no 3 possession save his living, and as Mr. Hackman icould not, out of a life- estate, supply Miss Bere I with a fortune, it was judged prudent, under J these pecuniary disabilities, that she should dejjcline the honour of the alliance, A year elapsed without ihe patties having met, and it was geneally imagined, that Lethe had kindly adminisered an oblivious potion to both, and, with the iid of absence, had obliterated from their minds, the remembrance of each other. But such was not tbe case. At the ensuing partridge season, tbe gentleman returned to Lymington; and, with tbe title of ' very reverend' prefixed to his name ( for he had obtained a deanery in tbe interval^) once more repeated his solicitations and his offers. These ( as there was now no obstacle to the marriage) were accepted. The amiable pair were united ; ami lived, . for many years, sincerely attached to each other; respected, esteemed, and beloved by all around them. The death of the husband dissolved, at length, the happy connexion. His lady survived her loss for some time: and, a fenyears ago, the little warbling pauper, Nancy Berc, of Lymington workhouse, quitted this temporal being, the universally lamented wido of the Right Rev.

I The Earl of W I N C H 1 L S E A presented petit i o n of a similar nature f i om Huddersficld and l l e - | reford. f As the NOBLE EARL was now on bis legs, he " would take the opportunity of asking the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government, whether lie had heard or seen the awful statements which had appeared in the public Journals, relative to the death of five labouring men in the neighbourhood of the metropolis from starvation. lie wished to know whether any communication hud been made to the iNoble Duke relating to the circumstances which attended the death of these unfortunate and wretched individuals, and of the deplorable state in which hundreds of the lower classes of society were at the present moment. From account! he had from a worthy friend of his residing in the neighbourhood of Grosvcnar- square, they were of an alarming description. A subscription was raised ' n that neighbourhood for these poor sufferers, from i he proceeds of which between two and three hundred had been relieved, who were totally destitute of the common necessaries of life. Circumstances ke these were a disgrace to the country, fellow creatures being allowed, he would almost say, under' the very walls of the House to perish for want of] the means of subsistence. He could not look at the situation in which the country now stood, without dread and horror, necessity and want might be borne to a certain extent, but things were HOW arrived at i pitch, which human nature could not bear. He would not, for all the world and its attendant pride and pomp, be placcd in the responsible situation in which his Majesty's Government had thought proper to place themselves ill having refused to ^ ive redress to the distresses of the people of this country. The Duke of W E L L I N G T O N observed that he had not heard of the occurrence to which the Noble Earl had alluded. T h e Marquis of C L A N R I C A R D E said ihat though the Noble Duke was not aware of the awful occurrence to which liis Noble Friend had referred, yet he might be acquainted with the distress that existed in Ireland, and the great scarcity of provisions there. The Duke of W E L L I N G T O N stated, that he had certainly heard of some distress in that county, A D V E N T U R E A T A Y R .

Before they can obtain the confidence of Parliament, they must prove that thej ieserve it. In society, no one questions the necessity of a change of some sort— the only difference of opinion is, as to the extent of the change. We need not say that the prevalence of a persuasion of this kind tends very much to paralyse any Goveru- I ment.

The present Biil procceded on the principle of that law, and was calculated to render the Roman Catholics of Galway apable of exercising the elective franchise, and to jelothe them with corporate rights. To a principle ' s o clearly and decidedly j u s t in itself, and resulting so naturally from the measure of last Session, he hud thought it impossible that the Noble Duk't should be opposed, and be had thought it almost equally impossible that it should be opposed by others. He had supported that great measure, for the success of which he M been contending during the greater part of his poliflcal life, and for which be hid surrendered every thing that public men most desired. There were others who were op posed ( he had no doubt on conscientious grounds) j to that measure ; but it being once carried, be j thought that even they would not s t a " d up and aay that on account of a local A c t the inhabitants of s remote town on the western coast of I r e W " ' should remain in a state of partial disqualification ex" elusion, which it was intended generally to r e i , . 1 0 v e' He could not avoid expressing his disapprobation 0 the course which the Noble Duke was pursuing. He could not conceive upon what ground the Noble Duke, who had supported the Relief B i l l , proposed such an alteration in the present measure, the effect of which w a s— " — to keep the word of promise to the ear, But break it to the sense." The Noble Duke referred to the charter of the cor- j § j poration of G a l w a y , and argued from it that the right of election should be retricted to the freemen, as now appointed; that the government of the borough was vested in certain officers and burgesses ; and further, that the present Bill would overthrow the corporation. Where was this charter? It had not been produced. But putting aside that mutter, the constitution of the borough and Corporation did not rest in tbe words of the Charter only, but also upon usage and prescription. He contended that to pass the Bill in its present shape, would not be t o overturn the rights of the Corpo- jp ration, but that if the Noble D u k e ' s proposition w » ve adopted, its effect would be to destroy those r i g h t* which the people of Galway had enjoyed, first by prescription, and next by charter, up to the passing of the Bill of Geo. I. Instead of having a tendency to destroy the Charter, this Bill w a s in conformity with it, and with long usage and prescription. The Noble Karl went into a statement of the political history of the borough, for tbe purpose of showing that previously to 1 7 1 7 the right of ad mission into the Corporation was possessed by the resident inhabitants generally. From the restrictions imposed by the 4- th Geo. I., Catholics and Protestants ( but especially the former) were relieved hy the A c t of last session." T h e 4- th G e o .

The Rev. R. Warner, in his " Literary Recollections," relates a short, but romantic story respecting a Miss Nancy Bere.

" On arriving in the bay we beheld a most magnificent spectacle; all the ships of war at anchor hud hoisted their white flags, and others of different c. ilours, on which are written the numbers and their names. " We prepared all night for the landing, and this morning by three o'clock two brigades were already on shore. The cannonade began at five o'clock, and lasted till about n i n e . ? During that time much was done. The - ATgcrities began to resist; a battery that defended the coast at last commenced its fire, and kept it up sharply for three hours; for we had 100 men killed or w ounded before we became masters of the guns. The battery was opposed by infantry, by the brigs V Alerte andV A e t e o n, and the corvette la Rayonnaise. The steamers Ic Nngctir, le Sphinx, and le Rapide, kept up a fire on the coast, while the first landing was effecting. Our soldiers behaved very bravely on taking the battery utid in an engaveinent which took place with the Bedouins towards eight o'clock. They met the enemy in a ravine where he had placed himself in ambuscade, and pursued him very warmly; it was indeed quite delightful to see the Arabian horsemen spur their horses, and fly to tile plain at full gallop. Their flight animated our sharp- shooters, and they ran after them as if they h3d been mounted on Arabian steeds. " Wa lost few men on landing, thanks to tile tactics of the Turks, consisting in allowing oui troops to land before they attacked them— a most wrctched method, and which will insure the success of our campaign. A strong opposition on the coast would have done us much harm; it would not ceiv tuinly have prevented us from attaining our object,! but at least it might have retarded our entry into Algiers, " Yesterday, at the moment of our casting anchor the bay of Torre CJiica, an English brig was toral lists should bo made up annually at a certain| man a m l his lady, under the following circumtime; that ihey should be published oyer the d e - | s t a l l c e 3 . _ « Her ( Mrs. H.' s) garden, in which alone she found particular pleasure, stood in need, as is usual in the spring season, of an active wceder; and John the footman was despatched to tbe poor- bouse, to select a little pauper girl, qualified for tbe performance of this necessary abour. He executed his commission in a trice brought back a diminutive female of eight or) nine years of age ; pointed out the bumble task ill which she was to employ herself, and left her I to her work. The child, alone amid tbe flowers, tuined; that a certain time should be allowed for rectifying them either in point of omissions or wrong insertions; and that if the Prefect refused to comply with the demands of the parties, tliey should be entitled to appeal to the Royal Courts for an authority to compel the legal rectification. That the lists might be more effectually purified, third parties were permitted to interfere between the Prefect and those whom lie chose to return a> voters, in order to prove the insufficiency of their titles if they did not possess tile requisite qualification. The Royal Courts were appointed the Judges in these electoral litigations, anil were requested to use all despatch in the execution of their duties, that the citizens might not be deprived of their rights. It is on ocrasion of such disputed votes that the Royal Court of the capital has displayed such ex- j traordinary industry and activity. In 658 of the cases on which it has passed judgment, the question related to the right of such electors as had not used due diligence to get their names on the lists before ihey were closed on the 30th of September last j e a r . The Prefects decided against the claims of] this class of proprietors, and had there been no appeal, such electors must, for the present election, have been effectually disfranchised. The Royal Court has declared this numerous body entitled to vote, anil thus pronounced against the agents of the Administration. It would be needless to specify the other cases, which are of a nature equally urgent, and where the decision is equally against the .' gents of the local authority.- I'lie nature of these decisions, which are generally aga- nst the Ministry, and the hope that the Court of Cassation may reverse the sentence of the inferior tribunal, huve induced the Ministry to adopt the extraordinary step of postponing the elections in twenty departments, seven of which are included in the jurisdiction of the Royal Court of Paris. This measure, to which we have more than once alluded,! had met with the decided disapprobation of many [ loyalists, and is more likely to injure the cause of he ministerial candidates than to secure their suc- : ass. The expectation seems to be general, that the Court of Cassation will, in this ease, confirm the lying- to near the coast. What had it to do there ? | j u d g m e n t of the Royal Courts began to ' warble her native wood- notes wild,' in tones of more than common sweetness. Mrs. Hackman's chamber- window happened to be thrown up: she beard tbe little wecder's solitary song; was struck with the rich melody of her voice, and inquired from whom it proceeded. ' Nancy Berc, from the poor- house/ was the answer. By Mrs. Hackman's order, tbe songstress was immediately brought to the lady's apartment; who became so pleased, at this first interview, with her naivete, intelligence, and apparently amiable disposition, that she determined to remove tbe warbling Nancy from tbe workhouse, and attach her to her own kitchen establishment. The little maiden, however, was too good and attractive to be permitted to remain long in the » ubordinate condition ofescullion's deputy. Mrs. Hackman preferred her to the office of lady's maid ; and, to qualify her the better for this attend ance on her person, had her carefully instructed in all the elementary branches of education. The intimate intercourse that now subsisted between the patroness and her protege quickly ripened into the warmest affection on the one part, and the most grateful attachment on the other. Nancy Bere was attractively lovely; and still more irresistible, from an uncommon sweetness] of temper, gentleness of disposition, and feminine softness of character : and Mrs, Hackman whose regard for her daily increased, proposed, Scots, and offering, for a groat, an opportunity of avenging any injury they might have received from the English, by permitting the best among tlietn to exert their utmost strength in striking a blow upon his back with a poll which lie held in hand ; accompanying this absurd declaration with certain ridiculous gestures and scurrilous language, while bis mailed companions, with arms akimbo, stood loitering around, laughing, and enjoying the, humour of their bulky buffoon. Wallace approached, and tendered treble tbe sum for the permission offered. This was readily agreed to by the jester, who winked to his companions as he prepared to fulfil the condi- The wary Scot had observed the triek; and, grasping the pole above the place where it was intended to give way, he let fall a blow with such good will, that the spine yielded to its force, and the foolish witling sunk with a rroan at the feet of bis companions. Instantly .. he swords of the English were out to revenge lie slaughter of their favourite. One of them, • o ' I idvancing towards the offender, received a blow on the head, which laid him lifeless across tbe body of the jester. Surrounded on all sides by ihe increasing numbers of his adversaries, be plied bis weapon with a rapidity and a force which kept the most, forward of them at bay. Over the steel bacinet of a powerful trooper, the fatal pole was shivered to pieces. Others, seeing him, as they imagined, disarmed by this iceident, rushed forward, cxpected to overwhelm him with their numbers; but on drawing lis sword, which he had concealed under bis Iress, they as quickly receded from the well known power of bis arm blade, cleared the way to one of the outlets oi die town, be was there attacked by two of the boldest of the garrison, who had not bclorc mingled in the fray. Tbe objcct of one of them appeared to be, to engage him in a little swordj) lay, and thus give bis party an opportunity of iiemming him in, but Wallace, aware of the value of his time, broke through the guard of bis artful opponent, with a blow which clove him- to the teeth, while the other, in the act of retreating, received a thrust through an opening in his armour, which, reaching his vitals, laid him senseless by the side of his companion. Five of the English soldiers had now ikllen beneath the arm of the youthful warrior : md the rest seemed so averse to come within his reach, that he had time to gain a little copse in the neighbourhood, where be had left his horse before he enteied the town, and, bound ng into the saddle, tbe hardy trooper was soon leyond the reach of any fresh assistance they might procure. Horse and foot were, however, soon on the alert; but after a long and a fruit less pursuit, they were obliged to return— some of those wbo had already witnessed his prowess no way displeased at their want of success.— Constable's Miscellany. was not aware that there was any death. Here the subject dropped. Lord D U R H A M presented a petition from Wandsworth against the punishment of death for forgery. I N S O L V E N T D E B T O R S ' B I L L, Lord T E N T E R D E N ' , on the motion for the third reading of this Bill, moved an amendment, which was agreed to, after which the Bill was road - i third time and passed. Earl G R E Y presented a petition from the inhabitants of Innishaven against any increase of taxes in Ireland. T h e Earl of S H A F T E S B U R Y moved the second reading of the Shubera'- cadie Canal Bill. Lord D U R H A M wished to hear from the Noble Earl some explanation of the grounds on which the grant was made in the Bill. T h e Earl of S H A F T E S B U R Y said it was for granting a sum of 15,000/. or 20,000/. ill aid of the work of the ciutftl. L o r d D U R H A M wis aware of that fact, as ; very one must be who had read the B i l l . What he vanted to know was, the grounds oil which such a 4; runt was made. It was the practice in the oilier House of Parliament to explain the grounds on which any grant of money was required, and it night to be the same in this House. He hoped the Noble Earl would be prepared to g i v e some explanation on the subject on Monday or Tuesday. T h e Bill was ( w e believe) postponed. The Archbishop of Y O R K presented petitions from A x f o r d and Stourbridge, against the punish-] ment of death for forgery. T h e Duke of R I C H M O N D presented a similar] petition from Witney. G A L W A Y T O W N R E G U L A T I O N B I L L. Earl G R E Y moved that this Bill be committed, 1 ind the House having gone into the Committee, T h e Duke of W E L L I N G T O N rose, for the purpose of moving the clause of which he gave notice yesterday. He stated yesterday, that the Vet the 4th Geo. I. was inconsistent with the g the enjoyment leges conferred by it. hi 1 7 2 7 , by ari A c t of j h e Irish Parliament, Catholics were deprived of the faCi..' t l es which they possessed of being admitted into the U'tiilds. As the matter stood at present, the rights] both of Protestan s and Catholics would be destroyed by the Noble Duke's clause. He denied that this was a Biil to violate the privileges of the corporation ; it was a measure of restoration, not of innovation— its object being to restore rights which had fallen into disuse. The Corporation had not petitioned against the B i l l : seven petitions had been presented against i t ; there were very f ew signatures attached to them, and in four the name of the same individual, Mr. James D a l y , was repeated. T h i s gentleman and Mr. Burke ( the Mayor) were he principal petitioners against the B i l l . There was no petition under the corporate seal against it. T o accomplish such a petition, the opponents of the measure must have had a majority of the Common Council on their s i d e ; but the majority of the Common Council had petitioned in favour of the B i l l— ( H e a r ) — a s had every Protestant freeman—( Hear) t w o out of three of tbe vicars of the town, and grand jurors, in the proportion of 16 to 4, and 14 Magistrates. The Noble Earl proceeded to contrast the character of the petitioners oil either side, and observed, that he did not believe that in the history of Corporations greater abuses of corruption were to be found recorded than in the city of Galay,— abuses and corruption in which the petitioners against the Biil were themselves mainly instrumental. It was perfectly true that great numbers of the Roman Catholic peasants, resident at a distance on the estate of the patron of this borough, had been admitted as freemen, and it was now intended by Ihe Noble Duke's clause to support their privileges against those of worthier claimants. At the same time the B i l l , as it stood at present, had this advantage, that it did not exclude Mr. D a l y ' s Roman Catholic peasants, whilst it rendered other Roman Catholics eligible. The fears expressed at an assumed violation of the charter came with a bad grac< t from individuals who iresent policy of this country, which now made noMhad diverted the funds of the Corporation from the distinction between Catholic and Protestant asg proper channel to their own advantage. The Noble bo their civil rights; and he would now, as& Eurl went into the procesdings instituted in Chan- Oru'fly as possible, state to their Lordships the jrounds on which he thought that A c t , which | t h e present Act sought to amend, should tie re- Ipealed altogether. The Noble Dtike then proceeded | t o read the preamble of that A c t , which set foitli I how much the success of the Protestant interest in y that part of Ireland depended on the loyalty antlf H a v i n « " b " bis trust |- i'lelity of the garrison of G a l w a y ; and also notice)']" £>'. i ". " - . R t h e disposition of the Corporation of Galway to| • ery against the Corporation for this misdirection of the funds, and observed, that the Mayor was now under an attachment for contumacy in disobeying the decree made by Sir A . Hart. The Noble Duke stated, that the Bill would let in 4,000 new voters. Of this there was no p r o o f ; but supposing it to be the fact, a complaint as to nil increase of voters came with a bad grace from those petitioners who had conferred the freedom of the borough on the officers aud non- commissioned officers of an entire regiment, and made, in 1 7 9 3 , 949 freemen, aud 782 in 1819. Rather tlmn the Bill should pass with the Noble D u k e ' s amendment, he would prefer its being lost. He objected lo such a repeal of the Act of G e o . I. as would leave the Corporation in the bands of an individual. The Noble Lord concluded, ' avour Popery. It then enacted th it four Magistrates of the county of Galway, being Protestants, should also be magistrates for the t o w n arid county of the town of Guhvay, and also that 40s. free- j holders being Protestants, should try offenders in ihe t o w n ; and it likewise enacted that anyProtestmt artisan, or person engaged in business, residing in the town for seven years, might claim as a matter@ liy observing that be had taken up the question if right to be made a freeman of the town and a g t l i r o u g h a sense of the policy and j u s t i c e of the Bill, member of the corporation, having a right to vote :' 1 . . or Members of Parliament for the town upon his uking tbe usual oaths. Now, he contended, that though the policy of that Act might have been lecessary at that period, it was not necessary it present, but was wholly inconsistent with lie spirit of the measure passed last year with a desire to do his duty to the House and to the country, and wholly uninfluenced by party or political bias.

The Earl of W I N C H I L S E A thanked the Noble Earl ( G r e y ) lor having stood ferward in behalf of the I rights not only of Protestants but Catholics. He I would give tbe Bill, without the amendment, his| cordial support. T h e L O R D C H A N C E L L O R said the questionl ght to be discussed calmly, and without reference I to party feelings. After the best consideration hich he had b e n able to give to the subject, founded upon all the information lie could obtain, he thought it would be both unjust and impolitic to pass the Bill, except as modified by the amendment proposed by the Noble Duke. The Noble Earl ( G r e y ) had alluded to three charters which had been granted to the Corporation previously to the charter of Charles II. But the Noble Earl had omitted to state that those charters had been forfeited, and that the proceedings of the Corporation had been governed down to the present time by the charter of Charles. The A c t of 4th G e o I. was passed to prevent Catholics from obtaining the ascendancy in Galway, it being apprehended that they would exert their power and influence against I the interests of the House of Brunswick. The Noble Earl said that Act conferred 110 new right i t h e last 15 years not one, concluded by moving n | u p o n the Protestants. He should like to know from | clause repealing the A c t 4th of G e o . I. altogether. !

He was far from wish ing to contend that the policy which dictated the what source the Noble Earl derived that information. It could not be from a perusal of the Act. His opinion was that the A c t did confer most important additional rights on the Protestants. No e p d o u b t that A c t was an infringement on the popular a | r i g h t s ; but was not the measure now proposed on infringement to a much greater extent ? It was necessary to consider the practical operation of the j ? 4th of G e o .

A> he period when Mr, Williams thought the Clianfceiy Judges, like schoolboys in holiday time, had I" all play and no work," Lord Eldon was in office, bj" impolitic restrictions. Hence, while tlicy endcii-• Censure was then unsparingly heaped both on the I '•", ur to encourage one kind of industry by bounties,| j Lord Chancellor and the sjstem of the Courts over! | they destroy another by prohibitions, and, desirousfflwlvch he presided; yet it is admitted that thin Jnever sat in the l l ' gh Court of Chancery an able; | judge, and one more profoundly acquainted with to enjoy incompatible advantages, repel from thei ports llmse foreign products, without the admissioi I of which they raiuiot find a market for their own 51lie principles of Equity, than Lord Eldon— an: Hence it happens, that two of the greatest trading Hsince his time the system has undergone no reformu nn'' jns in the world, within a few leagues of cacl '" L * ' '' ' .1 — - * oilier, whose intercourse might be so advantageous, from their proximity and from the variety of exchanges to which their reciprocal wants and peculia productions might give rise, appear to have esta blished a kind " of commercial quarantine against each other. Hfcnfce, though it was proved, almost to demonstration, duiing the sufferinj; of the French wine trade sii. ee 1827, thai France would derive incalculable benefit fron relaxing her prohibitive system, and admitting iron and colonial goods to exchange tor the produce of her vineyards, the Government still persists in maintainmg expensive founderies at tlie public expense, in forcing the mamifac lure of sugar from beet- root, and allowing several vintages to sour in the cellars of the wine- grower. That this conduct proceeds from antiquated prejudice and imperfect information, rather than from any luck of nctivity on the part of the Government, is evident, among other things, from tin bustling attempts of almost every successive Administration to do something striking in favour of trade. M. de Peyronnet, whose life lias hitherto been almost exclusively devoted to the studies and duties of 1 lie legal profession, no sooner enters the hotel of ( lie Home Department than he is inspired with the wish of improving the efficiency of those Boards with which his functions require him to consult on affairs of trade and manufactures. Accordingly, we luive ill the Moniteur of Tuesday, 11 long repo t by this Minister respecting these council-, followed by a lloyal decree for remodelliiij; them. Since the institution of Councils- General of Commerce! and Manufactures, the delegates of those national interests lmve composed two bodies. The Council of Commerce at present consists of 56 members, and that of Manufactures of GO. The Minister of the Interior has the power of presiding nt their general meetings. They are usiully consulted on any great measure affecting the classes which they represent, and by which they are partially elected. In addition to the duty thus imposed upon them of giving their opinion when asked, they sometimes venture to make representations and remonstrances when the Government would wish tliem to be silent. Thi was the case, us some of our readers will recollect, at the commencement of the Spanish invasion, when both Councils concurred in petitioning for a continuance of peace. Whether the Minister finds it inconvenient to preside over two separate bodies whose interests are so intimately connected, or thinks that their duties would be more successfully performed by a union ol their counsels and a redaction of their meubers, it is difficult to say ; but in his report he has given some plausible reasons for forming the two commissions into one, and reducing then members from 115 to 72. According to the exist ing system, the members of the Councils of Trade and Manufactures were chosen partly by ihe classes which tliey represmted, and partly by the Minister of the Interior. This mode of election is still to continue for the formation of the united hoard. I France there are thirty- four Chambers of Commerce established in the different great cities of the kingdom. These Chambers arc to elect 30 merchant; t l represent trade; the Chambers of Manufacttues are to elect 18 chiefs of Manufacturing establishments to represent their interest, and the Government retains the power of nominating 18. lit'sides, several of the larger towns are ernpowetl to nominate two members, Paris itsell returning eight. The list thus formed must be submitted to the King for his approbation before the Council can begin to act. Though the t n o Councils Which formerly existed separately are thus to be consolidated into one, the Board is still, for ihe purposes of convenient consultation, to be divided in 0 two sections, with appropriate duties, and acting under Vice- Presidents of their own choice This latter regulation, ( which 111 effect reconverts the Council into separate hoards), taken in eotinectinii with the diminution of the numbers, and th. necessity of submitting the lists to the Royal approbation, is sufficient to beget a suspicion that M. de Peyronnet has invented this plausible measure of consolidation to get rid of two inconvenici. t deliberative bodies, and to secure the 110- m nation of councillors less powerful and more tractable. The grounds of this suspicion will appear strengthened, when it is considered that the great mass of the industrious classes in Fiance belong to the Liberal side,— that the opposition to the existing Cabinet is composed chiefly of the ma nufnctiiring and mercantile interests,— that at tlie electoral colleges nearly all the voters w hose qualification depends cn the tax derived from patcntes, or licences to trade, are hostile to the Minister?,— and, that the monied interests, which the reformed councils represent, will form the strong array against iliem in the next Chamber. We shall see by the next arrival, what interpretation the Liberal Press puts upon the ordinance which we have above described,— Times, Ito run away from then. now.

But now, when the pestilence, spreading on aud on, threatened the lives of more exalted victims ; when Noblemen and Abbots, Presidents of Courts and Professors, began to swell the catalogue; and when no man felt secure thai he might not suddenly be compelled by torture to beat witness against his own innocent wife or cliildi en, s.- lfishness began to co- operate with truth and reason. So in tiltsame way, in the case of our own New England witchcrafts, the first effectual check which they received was from the accusation of Mrs. Hale, the clergyman's wife ; her husband, who ti'l then had been most active in the persecution, immediately received a new light with regard to the transaction, and exerted his whole influence for th suppression of the trials." We may observe, by the by, that it is well for 11 in this country, that among the other difficultie with which those who laboured to render our law: less sanguinary had to contend,' we had not hangmen powerfully connected, with handsome wives ranking in point of splendour with the wives of thi first Nobility of the land, to oppose by their vested interests the claims of humaniiy. The hangman's vested interests in this country were forgotten because the hangman is poor; otherwise blood would no doubt have continued to flow for the sake of th respectable personages whose interests were s< deeply concerned. However, the personages likely to be affected by Mr. Brougham's Bill are rich, ano herefore respectable, and are, we hear, bestirring themselves. In this country there is too much toleation for the exhibition of barefaced selfishness. We very much question whether it might r. ot be illowable to supply the want of individual interesi n a great national binefit, by directing public in- Jignation strongly against all who set tliemselvei gainst it.

What is there to excite the praise of thosi who never before alluded to the department ol Westminster Hall but in tones of the bitterest, condemnation ? We believe the present Lord Chancellor to be 113 just and impartial a Judge as any ol his great predecessors, but he has certainly dinajipointed those who were sincerely mixious for a reform of the Chancery system hy not redeeming thi pledge which he gave, soon after his nomination ti the Great Seal, to submit himself a plan 0- effcctual reform to Parliament. " In 1827," said Mr. Brougham, " the Lord Chancellor, shortly after his accession to office, pledgei himself to cffect reform, and seemed only de irons to cbtain time for the purpose. ' Givi me,' said h e , ' but a little time, but one season, and 1 pledge my reputation— I pledge myself 011 thi faith of Parliament, on the faith of the Court o' Chancery, ar. d of the practitioners in that Court that I will mature a plan for securing the discliargi of all tbe business expeditiously and accurately."— Such was the pledge of the Lord Chancellor.— Well: they gave him not one year, but three; and. during the lapse of tin t time, no change was thought of, no reform agitated by him. To us it appears very unaccountable that the Lord Chancellor, even supposing he were not bound by am promise, should not undertake or encourage 1 thorough reform of tbe Chancery system, as all thi delay and vexation which the unreformed systen occasions are sure to be visited 011 himself it public opinion, as was the case with Lord Eldon, It is the interest of a Judge that thi machinery of his Court should work well, and ti die public satisfaction, otherwise it is impossible ti prevent it having an injurious effect on his judicia reputation. We perfectly ag- ee with Mr. Harvey that all the defects of the Court of Chancery, iiumeous and appalling as they were, were attributable, not to the Lord Chancellor, but to the system ovo which he presides; and we also agree with him thai Lord Lyndhurst bus been guilty of a strange incon sistency in abandoning, as Lord Chancellor, thost propositions for the reform of the Court of Chaucer; which he advocated as Master of the llolls. The luinous delay and expence which suitors have to encounter in the Court, as at present constituted, is cause of complaint which every body has either fell or heard. As to serious questions of real property we admit that some part of the delay may be attributable to subtle refinements and m taphysica, listinctions, connected with tbe doctrines of contingent remainders, executory devises, fcc.; and also ti the modern absurd mode of conveyancing, which ias intricate and voluminous as it was formerh clear, concise, and simple; but such defects ii the law cannot account for a Chancery suit bein; carried on, as it sometimes is, for two or three successive generations. Mr. Cooper, in his treatise 01 the Court of Chancery, states that if a legatee entitled to 10,000/. under a will, have the misfortum to have the testamentary disposition questioned, am th at he get an adjudication in his case in eight years lie mav consider himself a. Jfortunate mail! A delgj of so many veais in a case like this can only arisi from the system of the Court being so constructei as necessarily to produce delay, and make suitorfeel that " sickness of the heart which arisetl from hope deferred." This delay in many cases, operates to the suitor as a denial of jusiicc— deatl or ruin may overtake him before the decrci is pronounced, and, as far as he is concerned, tli, fullest vindication of his right in the end canno repair the mischief already suffered from the law' delay. The present Bill, it is said, will give relitf to the Chancellor; but Mr. Brougham asked " Wli; should they now give reliefto ihe Chancellor, whei they ought to begin with giving relief 10 the suitors Let the relief to the Chancellor at least go par, passu with that to the unhappy victims of his jurisdiction." One cause of the delay in this Court ii die payment of fees fur judicial services propor tionate to the prolixity of the proceedings, whicl Mr, Brougham rightly describes as " a defeat t< justice— a bribe to delay." Much of the procrasti nation also arises from the manner in which ill. Master's office is executed, who, as the same Learned and Hon. Gentleman observed, lias all the characteristics of a Judge except his responsibility Certainly, without a corn sponding responsibility, in such power a6 a Master in Chancery exercises ought to be intrusted to any man—" sitting in silence am the dark— seeing no one but the suitors who appeared before him— with no public to watch him— no newspaper to report his proceedings— solving tli problem, not how he could expedite justice to the suitor, but how he could get his own salary.". These tilings, anil others justly complained of in the Chancery system, must be remedied by a very different sort of Bill than that at present before the House of Commons.— Morning Herald.

The composition of the army' was magnificent, although I perceived a great many recruits: still the system that re- igned throughout, and tbe military air that marked the soivlier> especially the Hungarian, must ever fix it in my' recollection as the finest army of the Continent. The Russians may possess a more powerful soldiery, of greater physical strength and hardihood, but they cannot equal the Austrians in discipline or military- maintien. The General Officers of ihe latter are of a superior class; and the army has a fine ton in all its departments. To see one Austrian and one Hungarian regiment, is to see the army : for a complete equality and uniformity reign throughout ; and they have no constant changes of uniform and equipment: their movement was beautifully correct, and the troops seemed formed in the most perfect order. Twenty- four squadrons of cuirassiers and sixteen of hussars deserved to be particularly noticed. Among the former were the cuirassiers of the Emperor, who were presented with new standards; and the three Sovereigns nailed in unison their standards to the pole in front of the army, as a token of their firm alliance. This was a most exhilarating moment.

Instead of a reform in the practice of the Court of Chancery, which the public want, it is intended to burden the country with the expense of a new Judge ill Equity, whom the public do not want. It was well observed by Mr. Brougham, in the debate on the Bill relative to this subjret on Thursday ight, that thu motion submitted to the House by Sir C. Wethcrell put to the test all those persons who had hitherto professed themselves anxious foi a reform in the Court of Chancery. It has done so, and Mr. J. Williams, who first made himself known in the House of Commons by an elaborate speech containing » volume of facts to prove the imperativ « necessity of Chancery reform, has not stood that lest. He now supports a Bill, which, to use a fami. liar phrase, " gives the go- bv" to the question ol reform, and appoints an additional Judge to admi- i nister that very system which lie formerly represented as being inadequate, under any Judge oi number of Judges, to serve the purposes of justice, and give satisfaction to the country. Since th delivery of the speech in question Mr. William was out of Parliament for a time, and one would think he had taken advantage of his interval of po. litical leisure to dip in that" Betliesda" which curesi patriotic lawyers of the fever of reform, and makes them treat their own former statements of intolerable abuses as the wild fictions of a diseased imagination 1 In allusion to the miraculou change which has been wrought in the opinions of the Learned Gentleman, Mr. R. Grant rather ' sareistically remarked that " t h e memory of the Learned and Honourable Member had slumbered while lie had been absent from the House, and that he had taken no note of the progress of time while he had been away. The House, however, was not equally oblivious of him, and he might be assured no one I was forgetful of a man who had so ably and so fear- | lessly done so much for the cause of legal reform.' I The ckange, or conversion, or cure, or whatever it is to be called, of the Chancery reformer, excited le » s HslonisliiiieiiSjij,' Mr. Brougham, who said " He a country calling itself tnl'ghtened, a measure of this kind would encounter slight opposition. The man must have a large stock of assurance, indeed who would dure to contend that there are any considerations sufficient to eutweigh the benefit of bringing justice to the door of every man in the community. But every man who knows the world is aware that the most extensive beneficial measures are precisely those which are most strongly opposed, They who profit by a system of abuse ure compare, tively few and deeply interested, while, in a benefi to all, the share accruing to each is comparatively small. They who profit by abuses exert themselve: with energy to thwart the measure of reform, while no one considers himself bound to make any grea exertion in support of him who merely labours for the public good. It will be singular, indeed, if Mr, Brougham disarms the opposition of those vho may be apprehensive of a diminution of profits from the success of Ilis measure. We make these observa tions, as it is hut too general an error to suppose, that because a measure is entitled to support, it will therefore be supported; and that because there ought to be no opposition, there will therefore be none. Every man who profits by an abuse fights for it in good earnest, while he who puts himself forward as a reformer will have seldom more th: n wishes for success. In the eleventh number of the Foreign Quarterly licvicw, just published, there is curious illustration of the power of sinister intc- j rest to extend, in a fearful manner, horrors at which human nature revolts. The first great blow struck at prosecutions for witchcraft was the lowering the fees of official personages:— " The Notaries' Clerks and officials labouring in their vocation ( says the writer of an excellent article on Demonology and Witchcraft) grew rich from the enormous fees attendant on these trials ; the executioner became a personage of first- rate consequence : ' t/ cneroso equo instar aulici nobilis ftitbatur, attro argento que vesiitiis. Uxor ejus vestium luxu esrtabat cum nobilioribus!— Some diminution of this persecuting zeal took place in Making together £ 3- 4,246 2 7, I'hat the disbursements ofthe said year, including the sum of 22,287/. 7s. 6> gd. transferred to the account for rebuilding London bridge, pursuant to the Act ol' 4 Geo.

We find there are a very great number of oflic ' rs, clerks, and servants of the corporation, many of whom are receiving very large salaries, besideB numerous fees and allowances of various kinds, amounting, together with the above, to upwards of 60,000/. a year. There are also numerous other salirie*, fees, and allowances, amounting to a large sum, which do not appear in those accounts, We find the following amongst many other tradesmen's bills:— !£ s. d. George Colebatch, carpenter 3,800 0 Samuel Elliott, painter 1,219 Arthur Taylor, printer 1* 30 Jonathan Ede, smith 1,103 John Itidder, for printing sermons W. L. Newman, solicitor 4,1 Of which law expenses of Alderman Winchester, in his ontest with Mr. Wilde, amounting to 1,500/., form a part, we understand. The estates and leasehold property of the city are composed of about 6,000 tenements and houses, ( producing a rental of 4- 6,853/. 19s. 10jd.), a very large portion of which are let on most ruinous terms. That which is describe to be situated in Conduit- mead, comprising about 600 houses in Hanover- square, Maddox- street, Albemarleutreet, Grafton- street, Bond- street, Conduit- street, and several other streets in that neighbourhood, is let lor 3,456/. 4s. 5d. per annum for ever, upon lrases renewable every 14 years, by paying a premium every 14 years, equal to from five to seven years' rent, which averages less than 6/. a year each, and a premium of about 38/. every 14 years, for houses which are let in many instances at from 200/. to 500/. per annum. We find tbe property within the city to eonsist of about ,000 tenements or houses, which are let at a rental ofl 33,366/. Is. 5d., averaging less than 17/. each ; they are situated in every part of the city, many of them in the most publie thoroughfares and best situations for businessj and are now worth in many instances 100/. to 250/. per annum. A great portion of them are let upon similar terms to the Conduit- mead estate, with this difference, that in the city leases the premium payable every 14 years equal to seven years' rent, may be paid at any period within 61 years, by paying five per cent, interest from tbe end of every 14 years. The consequence of this curious sys-! tem of letting property is frequent compromising with the tenants upon the best terms that can be obtained. We find there is a charge of II/. 4s. made to every consequence of a Rescript of John VII. ( 18 th December, tenant fur his lease, exclusive of the stamp, which is divided 1591), addressed to the Commission, by which the fet s^ ainongst various officers and clerks of the corporation, who t h a i j o f the Court iveie restricted within more uioderatejgdeiive from this source a very large income ; tbe precise MARYLEBONE. Late on Thursday, William Peacock, a young mai belonging to Camden- town, was charged before M GRIFFITH, the Sitting Magistrate, by two con- • tables of the new police, with cruelty towards liorse which he was riding in the streets. After the prisoner and the horie were brought into the office yard, the prisoner conducted himself with great ferocity, and doubling his fists, and assuming a boxing attitude, vowed future vengeanci igainst the policemen for interfering. Mr. GRIFFITH went into the yard ant! examinee the horse, and finding it to be an aggravated case lie imposed the severest penalty which the law pre scribes, 51.; and the prisoner in default of paymen vas sent to the House of Correction forthree months, BOW- STREET. A letter, bearing the post- mark of Cheltenham . vas yesterday received by Sir R .

QUEEN- SQUAItE Yesterday, Mr. Edmund Colman, of No. 22 Brompton- square, the son of the celebrated dramaii censor, was placed at the bar, before Mr. WHITE tharged with stealing two pewter pots from tl louse of Mr. William Sprat, landlord of the Royn Hospital public- house, near Chelsea College. In respectable- looking persons, who gave their name Mr. James Kelly, of No. 26, Baker- street, holdi i situation in the Army Pay- office, anil Mr. Jflwi- Baker, a student of Cambridge University, wer tlso charged with attemp'ing to rescue Mr. Col nan from the police, when in custody on a charg of felony. Mr. WHITE asked the prisoner Cohnan what h profession was ? The prisoner replied that he beh i situation in the Lord Chamberlain's office. The prosecutor stated that about ten o'clock oi he previous evening the prisoners came lo his hous md called for a glass of brandy and water nl th bar, with which he served them, and they paid fo t. The prisoners, ofter remaining at the bar fo dboiit an hour, called for another glass of brand < nd water, which he refused to serve, as tliey an peared to be larking with some bank notes. Coima hen went out, leaving his companions at the bai In about a minute a waterman who attends a stan of coaches near his house, came in and asked witnes if he had served any person with porter outside. He replied be had not, and the waterman then i formed him that there was a person carrying aiva one of his pewter pots. Witness ran out of tin House, and overtook the prisoner going towards Pi radise- row. He collared him, and fouhd a quart po hid under his coat. Witness asked Ilim ivliy he ha uken tile pot. The prisoner in reply made use of vulgar expression. Witness called a police coi stable and gave him into custody ; the prisoner mud a violent resistance, when Baker came out of tlii house and insisted on tlie prisoner not being takei to the watch- house, and endeavoured to rescue hin from the officer. Finding he could not succeed, went into the house and brought Kelly out, and th both tried to rescue him ; more officers by this tint came to assist, and the prisoner was lodged in th watch- house. On searching Colman, a half- pin pewter pot was also found in his coat pocket. Mr. WHITE asked whether he had ever seen an of the prisoners before?— The prosecutor repliei that they were quite strangers to him, uor had ' ever seen tliem in his house before. It vvoul scarcely be believed the number of pewter pots had lost of late. Mr. WHITE— I wish to know whether you hav any reason to believe that the two prisoners ( Keif, and Baker) had any knowledge that Colman ha taken the pots away ? The prosecutor said could not answer that question. Mr. WHITE— What distance was the prisone from your house when you collared him '? Prosecutor— About a stone's throw. In answer to further questions, the prosecuto. described the'fituation where the porter pots wer, placed at the bar, which was at the top of the leao over the beer machine. George Thatcher, police- constable, B division No. 17, stated, that about eleven o'clock cn th previous evening, as he was coming from Paradise row towards Jews'- row, Chelsea, he heard" police' called ; he went to assist, and found the prisonei with a quart- pot in liis hand, and the prosecutoi Cambridge ; at present I reside at No. 16, C l i e y n e - l ^ 0 " ^ ' ' ' ^ Narrative ofthe War in Germany ivalk, Chelsea. mand France. Mr. WHITE— Pray is your name Duke ? Mr, Baker— No, Sir, I have giren my right mime. Mr. WHITE was extremely sorry to see persons of their respectability placed in such a situation, but the course he had to pursue was so plain, from the evidence which had been given, that he could not suffer any distinction of persons on a charge of such a serious nature to influence him in the performance of his duty, let their condition or station in life be what it might. As to the conduct of the prisoners, it was not neccssnry for him to make any comment; lie should commit them all for trial at the next Sessions. The parties were then bound over in the sum of 20/. each to prosecute, and the prisoners were fully committed. A solicitor here applied to Mr. WHITE to allow he prisoners to put in bail. Mr. WHITE could do no such thing. As tile Magistrate was about leaving the bench, some friends of the prisoners offered very responsible bail, but it was refused. L O N D O N M A R K E T S .

The King of Kent, though not altogether ignorant of the nature of his Queen's religion, nor unfavourably disposed towards it, was yet afraid of that miraculous power which tbe Romish clergy wcre then believed to possess, and which they were not backward at claiming for themselves. For this reason he would not receive them within the walls of his Royal citv of Canterbury, nor under a roof; but went into the island with bis nobles, and took his seat to await them in the open air; imagining that thus he should lie secure from the influence of their spells or incantations. They approached in procession, bearing a silver crucifix, and a portrait of our Saviour upon a banner adorned with gold, and chanting the Litany. The King welcomed them courteously, and ordered them to be sealed ; after which Augustine, stood up and through an interpreter whom he had brought from France, delivered the purport of his mission in a brief but well ordered and impressive discourse. " He was come to the King, and to that kingdom ( he said), for their eternal good, a messenger of good tidings; offering to their acceptance perpetual happiness here and hereafter, if they would accept his words. The Creator and Redeemer bad opened tbe kingdom of Heaven to tile human race; for God so loved the world that he had sent into it his only son, as that son himself testified, to become a man among the children of men, and suffer death upon the cross in atonement for their sins." To this address, which was protracted to some length, the King returned a doubtful but gracious answer; his conversion shortly after followed. He gave up his palace to the missionaries, and Augustine obtained a bull from the Pope to found the see of Canterbury. From this period it was regarded with the highest veneration ; but in the invasion oftl le Danes, both the church and city suffered the most grievous ruin, and no less than eight thousand persons are said to have perished at one time in the desolated town.— Dr. Lardners Cabinet Cyclopaedia.
