HIS HONOUR took his seat at twenty minuses past eleven o'clock, stating he had read all the papers in this case, and it appeared to him necessary to allow the de murrer. The bill was filed by Sir W. Young, in his cha racter r,f trustee, which prayed that he, as trustee, might be declared entitled to take possession of the premises in gaestiou, under and subject to the trusts of the par ticular indenture which created those tru t, ; and the 4 l ttestion made by the demurtet was, whether the cestai quo trusts under that indenture, who are equally inte rested with Sir NV. Young, under the second mortgage deed, should not be parties to the bill? And it was very obvions, that unless there were some particular objection to be taken, every person interested in this c:be must be a party to the bill; and r:rz. reason was, that unless that were so, the effect of the decree in the cause would exclude those who were -interested under the second mortgage, and of necessity, therefore, they had a tight to prevent that decree. It had been con tended, however, at the bar, that there was a speciality in this case, which was, that Sir James Law's inden ture (who is the second mortagee) contained a cettain declaration of trust, to which other parties interested were not parties; therefore the Court wit; to consider that declaration as voluntary on the part of Sir James Law ; and, having been voluntary, was not to be con sidered binding. The first answer to that was, that it' was totally inconsistent with the phintiff's own bill, far it prayed that he might be entitled under and sub ject to that very indenture. The Duke of Nlarlbo rough's case did not apply here; if it had applied, Sir James would have had to have revoked the trust; but he had not revoked it, and therefore it remained an effectual trust. It was for these reasons that the de murrer would have to be allowed, with liberty to the plaintiff to amend his bill upon the usual terms. • SPANISH LOAN. JABATIP. CAMPBELL, LUBBOCK, AND Co. The Court was next occupied in bearing the discus. :ion of this plea, which was opened on Tuesday, filed against the bill of Dan Juan Jabat, praying that the Court would declare him to be entitled to a lien upon tunds.in the hands of the defendants, to the amount of 0( /and a fraction. The bill stated, that the plaintiff at one time bore the :aaiacter of Plenipotentiary for the Government of Spain, and was employed to contract a Loan in this enintry for the Government he represented ; he had dated that to a certain extent; sums were placed in the hands of the defendants, employed by the Spanish Commissioners to receive those sums; and the plaintiff temitted to the Spanish Government upwards of 13,0001. which, with payments to others, and his espenses in this country, amounted to more than 27,0001. and which he now sought to be reimbursed out of the funds in the hands of the defendants. —The proposition made by the Counsel in support of the plea was, that the fund in the hands of the defendant's' was raised for the Spanish Government upon a substan tial and collateral agreement, entered into between that linvertiment and the defendants, that they should raise a fund for the use of that Government, and the money now raised did net, tier could include the produce of the sale of 50,000 rills, upon which the plaintiff was to have a claim ; that the fund was raised in conse quence of a contract, to which the plaintiff was no party. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, however, contended, that as the bill charged a correspondence had taken place between the plaintiff and the Spanish Government, which shewed that he had a claim upon this fund ; the defendants were bound to put in their answer, stating what specific monies they had received, what certificates they had in their hands, whether there had not been specific trusts imposed upon them, and whether they bad or had not discharged those trusts P The VICE-CHANCELLOR, without hearing Mr. Hart in reply, said it was extremely clear in this case that the plaintiff had a demand upon the Spanish Government to the amount stated, say 27,0001. and a fraction. It was equally clear that the Commissioners had placed in the hands of the defendants certain certificates and papers to satisfy the plaintiff, among other creditors, and that the plaintiff has a lien on those inscriptions ; hut the question was, whether the plaintiff had a lien en the produce now it the hands of Messrs. Campbell, Lubbock', and Co. ? Certain stock had been placed in their hands, at their disposition, and was that for the purpose of paying the plaintiff (which they might have done)? or was it for the purpose of paying other debts uitilin their authority to pay ? Upon reading the r ecord, it was clear that the funds ►•ere placed in the hands of the defendants, not for the purpose of paying the plain tiff's claim, but for the purpose of paying other claims against the Spanish Government ; it was impossible, therefore, that he could have a lien upon that fund. But then it had been said, that the fund placed in the hands of the defendants, though held not to be for the purpose of paying - the plaintiff's claim, might do more than pay the particular debts it was intended to pay, ann that upon the remaining surplus the plaintiff might have a lien ; the Court, however, was not of that opinion. It was not competent for a creditor to file a bill, in the first instance, against an agent, unless he could charge misconduct; no such charge was made here, or at tempted to be made; and therefore, upon very clear principles, the plea would have to be allowed. COURT Or lING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 3. THE BOROUGH OF MONMOUTH. TIIK KING V YATES. The question in this case was, whether the defendant was duly elected a free Burg.e,s of the Borough of Mon mouth ? It w a. used at Gloucester brfore Mr. Justice t'Autc, when a verdict was found for the Crown. Mr. CommoN SERJEANT, who conducted the defendant's ease, afterwards moved the Collet for a rule to spew cause why a new trial should not be granted. That rule was obtained, and came on this morning to be argued. Mr. Justice LITTLZDALs read Mr. Justice PARK% notes of the evidence. Mr. TAUNTON then proceeded to - thew cause against the Rnle. He contended that the verdict was right on the two material issues in the cause, viz —l. Whe ther the right of election is such as that claimed and acted upon in electing the defendant ; and 2. Whether the defendant was elected according to the usual forms. Upon the first point, he contended that the Town Coun cil must nominate, and the Burgesses at large elect. But here the Burgesses elected at once. To the same effect he argued that the Town Clerk ought to mention or give in the name, and that then proclamation was made, if any Burgesses objected, to come forward and shew cause, clearly implying that a previous nomina tion bad taken place. But in this case, a Burgess moved and another seconded the election of Mr. Yates, with out any act whatever on the part of the Town Clerk. Upon the second point, be insisted that the election was, in point of form, void, because the meeting ss as partial, and without due notice. Mr. Heath, the Mayor, a par. tisan of the defendant's, had been elected three weeks before, when 45 voted for him, and 4.2 against him, which shewed the number of Burgesses that were ac customed to attend at elections. But in the present case, the:e were only 25 present—all but two of one party. Those two were, an attorney, who was professionally present to attend the (tinter Sessions, and a beadle who was officially present. The rest attended by special in sri!ation. A bell was rung between ten and eleven. Jast before it was rung, three were 25 sitting prepared to proceed in,tantly to e:ecrion. Mr. CA NIPBELL, after expressing Iris regret at the ab sence of Mr. Common Serjeant, argued for a new trial. The verdict being general, it was impossible to say that some of the Jury had not found upon one point, and others upon another; consequently it could not be maintained that the verdict had that unanimity which was essential to a good verdict. He then argued upon the evidence in the - several points, that the vet diet ought in justice to have been for the defendant. He con tended that the ringing of the belt was sufficient notice, and that it was quite regularly and properly rung on this occasion. But he relied particularly on the fact, that the attorney who was present and protested, never objected to want of due notice, but protested on the ground of want of previous nomination, by the Town Council. The Loon Cute, JUSTICE gave his opinion that a new trial ought not to be granted. It was quite evident that the verdict found the particular assembly in this case not duly called together, and consequently annulled the election of the defendant. Any other verdict upon that issue would be contrary to the evidence. Upon the other, issue, respecting the usage of electing by the burgesses, without a previous nomination, the best way would be to restrict the verdict as if the Jury had been discharged from returning any verdict upon it. The Learned Judge had properly directed the attention of the Jury to the two issues, but, unfortunately had neglected to ask the Jury how they bad found the verdict respecting each issue? To have done so would have saved much ex pense to the parties, and much of the public time. The other important point, respecting the usage, was there fore entirely untouched and left unprejudiced by the Court refusing a new trial, upon the clear and just find. ing on the informalities of the assembly. - The other Judges concurred —Rule discharged. The Court was occupied, during the remainder of the day, hearing the arguments of Mr. ALDERSON and Mr. PARK, in a Commission of Bankrupt case.—No judg ment was given. • ARCHES' COURT, NOV. 3. DURANT v. DURANT. This suit was originally instituted by Mrs. Durant in the Ecclesiastical Court of Litchfield, about five years since, charging her husband with various acts of adul tery, and with different lewd women. The suit was carried into the High Court of Delegates, and from thence brought by appeal into this Court. The Lady charged that considerable delay had taken place, and prayed the case might be brought to a conclusion.l Mr. Durant, on the other hand, denied that any delay had occurred, and applied to the Judge to rescind the conclusion ; and prayed to be allowed to present an exceptive allegation to the credit of the witnesses. Drs. LUSHINGTON and DOBSON (Mr. Durant's Advo cates) argued that the acts of adultery were stated so vaguely and loosely, that it was impossible they could have been answered by the husband ; they denied that any delay had taken place; but asserted that all the witnesses had been examined as early as possible, and that the illness of Mr. Wood, the Solicitor for Mr. Du rant, wire resided at Wolverhampton, could alone oc casion any delay. Dr. ADAMS, in answer, wished Lobe informed what a Solicitor had to do with a case in the Ecclesiastical Court ? The illness of Mr. Wood was not a sufficient excuse for delay. The business of the Court used to be performed by Proctors, but he believed it was now done by Soli citors, and frequently - entrusted by them to their ma naging clef ks. At another time that person might be taken ill, and cause a further delay ; but with respect to Mr. Wood, although he had stated in his affidavits that he was several months confined to his room, he (Dr. Adams) had other affidavits in reply, which stated that be transacted business during that very time, not only 'atWolverhampton, but some miles distant, and was suf.' &lend) , competent to attend an electioneering business, draw up hand-bills for one of the candidates, &c: which he believed was not more sober than a turnpike business. Sir JOHN NICHOLL observed, that with Attornies the Court had nothing to do, the Proctors were responsible for the proceedings. Mr. Wood's illness was not a suf ficient excuse for delay, and in the affidavits which had. been filed, it had been asserted, and not answered by him, that he was not labouring under the illness he stated. The cause WAS, therefore, directed to proceed. Mr. Goss, of the brig Perseverance, fell dead in the Independent Chapel at Truro, Cornwall, last week, in the act of praying. Tuesday, a desperate battle was fought in Bideford Ma' ket-place, between two females. Their caps, &c. were literally torn to pieces and divided alll , )ng the spectators, to be kept as memorials of this truly dis graceful scene. THE LOGAN STONE.—Lieutenant GOLDSMITH has nearly completed his great undertaking of replacing the Logan Rock; it is now within a few inches of its original situation. Mon Jay morning, as Captain ACLAND and his Lady were going to Exeter, horn Killei ton, in a gig drawn by a fine horse belonging to Sir THOMAS ACLAND, Bart. the animal sud.lenly rai s ed its bead, and dropt dead on the road. COURT OP BURGESSES. DEFICIENT WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. A Court of Burgesses was held yesterday in the Bail Court, Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose Of re ceiving the presentments made by the Annoyance Jury," and of hearing any appeals which might be made against the same. Tnere were only two cases called on : these were, Vincent Cuimore, eating-house-keeper, •Carlisle.street, corner of Great Chapel -street, Soho. One pair of scales deficient two drachms; and four half-pint measures, de ficient half a gill each.—Fined 1(h. Thomas Agar, green-grocer, 65, Wardour-street, Sohu. One pair of scales deficient two drachms.—Fined 54. The other eases of fines, which are extremely numerous, stint' over to the next Court-slay. BRITISH AND A VD:RICAN FLAGS. We some time ago observed,with much p'easure, the increasing harmony and unison of sentiments and feel ings between the inhabitants of Great B, izaiti and the United States : there are, however, some pelsons we doubt not, in both countries, who view this good tri derstanding with jealousy. An instance of this, so la! as relates to the United States, has reclnrly occurred. Mr. Addington, our Charge d'Affaires at Washington, addressed a IVne, at the close of August last, to Mr. Adams, the American Secretary of Sate, stating in sub stance, that as n much inconvenience had been found to result from the the..of the Union Jack, as a signal tbr pilots in foreign count' ies, it had been determine) by the British Admiralty, henceforward, to substitute for that signal a special flag, namely, the British Union Jack, with a broad white border added to it ;" and is conclusion suggesting to the American Government, whether it might not be deemed expedient by them to adopt on their part, for the use of the America! , Navy, some distinguishing flag, as a special signal, for the same purpose?" As the ground of this suggestion, Mr. AdJington • stated what is well known to all persons engaged the American trade, viz, that much embarrassment, and, in many in-tances, selious distress and dan ger, are at piesent occasioned to the vessels of the United States on foreign stations. A suggestion so im portant, and yet so perfectly disinterested, would, one might have anticipated, have been received, not only as it was by the Government, in the spirit of good will and friendship, in which it originated, but also by every American citizen, cf every party, with at least affected satisfactioaT But it appears from an article in the Philadelphia Democratic Press, that there are some who have pre tended to discover in Mr. Addington's Note, an en deavour to dictate an acknowledgment of our naval superiority, by a compulsory conformity of signals! No conclusion, however, could be more erroneous than that which would lead us to believe that the feelings that pervade many of the American Journals with re spect to British que.tions, are those of the people at• large. The press of the United States is principally in the hands of Irishmen, who have been obliged to banish themselves to that country on account of their political offences ; and they seldom miss an opportunity of avenging their supposed wrongs, by vilifying the Eng. lish character, and infusing jealousy and suspicion into the breasts of the native Americans. Some idea may be formed of the extension of the Public Press, when it is known that nearly 20,000 News papers pass through the Edinburgh Post Office weekly. The attention of the passengers was arrested in the Strand, near Southampton -street, yesterday, by a couple of ruffians in dirty garb, offending in the most out rageous manner every female they met, by exposing their person s. A gentlemanlike dressed young man remonstrated, and one of the r uffians immediately struck him in the month, and was immediately knocked down by the Gentleman, who was.stated to be a Mr. Finch. The other fellow rushed upon him, when Mr. F. hit him in the mouth and dropped him. The Gentleman threw his coat into a shop, and in three rounds completely punished the ruffian for his barbarity, and he laid on the ground thoroughly beaten. The other ruffian escaped, after the populace had done with him. Yesterday morning, a person of rather shabby ex te rior, called at No. 8, Salisbury -street, Strand, to look at apartments for his master, and after viewing them, requested a card of the address of the house, was in troduced into the parlour, and whilst the mistress of the house was writing the card, he contrived to slip a small note-case into his pocket, containing cash to the amount of nearly 801. Tire Lady nearly paralyzed on momentarily losing sight of the pocket-book, furiously demanded it, and he instantly gave it up, and said it was only a joke to frighten her, and left the house, she having no power to detain him, from her agitation. PUBLIC FLAGELLATION.—Yesterday morning, pur suant to their sentences, two men were publicly and effectively whipped, in the Court-yard of the Old Bai ley : after which ceremony; three young men (one of whom was named Davis) received a similar compliment in private. Davis was discharged forthwith. Previous to his leaving prison he had an interview with the Go vernor of Newgate, who in a humane manner inquii ed as to the place of his destination, and the means he had to proceed thither? The lad said that he was a native of Worthing, where his friends live, and thither he wished to go, but was entirely destitute of means to do so, fur he was pennylpss and in want of trowseis and shoes. The Governor told him he hoped the punish ment he had that morning received, would act as a warning to him through life, and operate as a preven tive against further depredations; after which he was supplied with trowsers and shoes, and sufficient pecu niary aid to enable him to return home, for which he expressed his gratitude, and at the same time promised to reform his c3nduct. EXTRAORDI NA BY FEAT.— A few days ago, two young chimney-sweeps entering the burgh of Linlithgow from the east, espied a new tall steam-engine vent, whose cloud-capt summit seemed to challenge their climbing powers. Quitting the high road, the young rogues en tered the building, and contrived to creep up through the interior of the vent to the top and after periormin ' many capers and gambols on " the speculative height, to the terror and amazement of the spectator., one of them suddenly executed a summerser , pitched on his hands, and raising his heels in the air, continued to kick against the clouds for some time, with all imaginab'e ease. The vent stands detached from every other build ing, is seventy feet high, three feet diameter on the outside, and eighteen inches within, so that our tum blers had only a ledge nine inches in breadth to gam bol upon. This surpasses the feat of the English sai lors, who astonished the land of Egypt by carousing on the top of Pompey% Pillar. SPORTING INTELLMENCS.

A fine deer was accordingly turned out of the cart soon after ten o'clock, which ran through the inclosures to the left of Farnham, through the woods to the right of Drop. more 11111, taking towards High Wycombe, to the left towards Great Marlow, at which place it was taken, after a fine Chace of upwards of two hours and a half. BOXERS. LA W: JIM —Notwithstanding the various reports which have been in circulation, that the Irish Champion did not mean to spew in London again, a letter was received from him at head-quarters in London yesterday, stating that he is ready to tight any man in the kingdom, from two to five hundred sovereigns. The letter is dated from Cheshire, and his money, £5O, is ready to be deposited at Jack Randall's, Chancery-lane, to fight off-hand or in the Spring. Langan accounts for his not having come to London, in come quence of having received an injury in one of his shoulders, witich is now got nearly right. DICK Cueris AND BARNILY AARON.—The second deposit for this fight was made at Mr. Benjamin's, in Duke's-place, on Tuesday evening, after a sporting dinner. sto 4 taken by the Siteeni. , l on Dick. Barney is in fine trim, and nothing but an out-and out af fair is expected. J 631 Buax AND CrNIEALI.—On the same night the deposit for this fight was made £5O a-side, at Tom Cribb's. 5 anO, 6to 4 were betted on O'Neale. GREAT FOOT RACE. The great race for 500 sovereigns, two miles, was run on Bur. arm Flat, near Northampton, on Monday, between Captain Pew sey and lilewett, the celebrated runner from the Staffordshire Pot teries. The Captain, who is considered one of the fleetest men on his legs in the kingdom, received of his competitor 200 yards at the end, and !Hewett was backed at six to four eagerly ; but the event came off very differently from that at Doncaster last week, when it answered the London deep ones to take a lucrative jour ney of 160 miles, and the Londoners were the principal backers of the Pottery man in this instance. The pedestrians ran over half a mile of ground as follows : CAPT. PCWSZY. m. I. First half mile 2 29 Second ditto 2 28 Third ditto 2 32 Fourth ditto 2 42 )LEWETT. M. S. First half mile 2 26 Second ditto 2 25 Third ditto 2 .30 Fourth ditto 2 34 10 11 I 9 55 It was one of the finest races ever seen. At the finish of the first mile, which was run at extraordinary speed, the Captain was about 55 yards behind, and in the third half mile he lost about ten yards more. At the middle of the last mile he was much distressed, and his adversary made desperate play, and when the flag dropped at the winner coming in, the Captain was 85 yards behind. Saturday last a Swedish seaman, named Cade, was hired on board the brig Trio, lying in Ilattenbury's dock, liorsleyclown, and had 2s. given him to procure a bed on shore for the night, it being intended to burn charcoal and sulphur below deck for the destruction of the rats, and he went on shore in the evening for that purpose. About four o'clock the following morning, he presented himself to the dock watchman, and pre vailed upon him to let him pass on board, where he took off the tarpaulin and descended into the hold. He was found dead by the mate two hours after. An In quest was held yesterday, in the Vestry Hall, St. John's, and a verdict returned of " Accidental Death." As USUAL !
