The But iai Service being commenced in the Church and concluded over the grave, the commanders and chief mourners ar ranged themselves behind the company of marines, who formed aline on the tight side of the grave.

This was an action of trover by Messrs. Bartons, who are tallow-merchants of great respectability, to recover from the London Dock Company the value of one hun dred casks of tallow. The tallows, which lay at the London Dicks, were sold to the plaintiffs on the 18th of September last, and they, on the 26th, sold them to Messrs. Moberley and Bell, and gave an order to the de fendants " to transfer, weigh, and deliver," the same to the vendees, Before the tallows were weighed or paid for, Moberley and Bell sold them to Mr. Hawes, who gave his acceptance for them, and the Company, on their order, transferred them into the name of Mr. Hawes. OQ the 10th of October, Moberley and Bell gave Messrs. Barton a check for the tallows, which was not paid; and on the 16th of October, they having stopped payment, Messrs. Barton gave notice to the Company not to transfer, and contended that they had a right to stop the tallows in transitu, as the delivery was not perfected. The 1:0R0 CIIIEF JUSTICE said he should advise the Jury to find a verdict for the defendant, as he was de cidedly of opinion that where the owner of goods sells them and gives an order for delivery, and the vendee sells them again to a party who pays for then), the ori ginal vendor has nn right to stop them frt transitn. But as the Tlestion was one of great importance to the coni merciai world, lie was desirous that his opinion should be solemnly considered; and therefore suggested that the Counsel for the plaintiffs should tender a bill of ex ceptions to his charge. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the plaintiffs, intimated that he should adopt this course, a nd accordingly The Jury found a verdict for the defendant, which will be reviewed in the manner suggested. CAMUIUDGE V. ANDERSON. This was an action on a policy of insurance for 400/. effected on the ship Commerce, from Quebec to Bristol. In the river St. Lawrence a fog came on, and daring its continuance the vessel stranded at about two hunched fathoms from the land, and sustained great injury. The Captain finding it impossible to obtain immeJiate as sistance, returned to Quebec in an open boat, with a view of consulting the correspondents of his owners. In pursuance of their ad v ice, the agent for Lloyd's and three surveyors inspected the wreck, and they were of opinion that it could not be repaired without an expense ex ceeding its value. It was determined, therefore, to sell it, and being brought to Quebec, it was put up to auc tion and purchased with its register, for 130/. The question was, wire:her the plaintiffs were entitled to claim as for a total loss with benefit of salvage, or for an average lo,s only ?_ The Conn CHIEF JUSTICE gave his opinion, that if the vessel could not be repaired at a less sum than her value, though sold with her register, the owners had a right to claim as for a total loss ; but if she could have been repaired fur a less sum, then they could only re cover average. As this subject had been already much discussed, and as the law perhaps was not quite settled, he should be glad that his view of the case should be re considered by the Court. The ,hity expiessed their opinion on the facts, that the vessel could not have been repaired for a less sum than her value, and found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 340/. deducting from 4001. 15 per cent. for salvaze. CURTIS V. WILLIS. This was an action against the Sheriff of Warwick shite, for a false return to a writ officiifacias, issued by the plaintiff, a wholesale-draper in Friday-street, against a person named Crutchley, a linen-draper at Warwick. It was admitted that there were goods on the premises to satisfy the execution, but it was alleged that they were bound by a previous act of bankruptcy committed by the debtor. The act of bankruptcy relied on was, that Crutchley, being at the warehouse of Mr. Corbett, in Friday -street, heard that a creditor named Johnson was coming, and went out of the way to avoid him. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended this was not an act of bankruptcy, as the party was not in his own house. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE clearly held that an avoid ance of a creditor any where was an act of bankruptcy, and consequently that the return was true. The plain tiff wai accordingly nonsuited. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 24. William Allison came up to receive the judgment of the Court. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, in the absence of the Chief Commissioner, observed that out of the insol vent's debts, amounting to upwards of 7,0001. 6,000/. had been contracted by putting his name to accommo dation bills for another, with whom he had been con nected in transactions of that description, without hav ing had any property with which to meet them at their maturity. Such conduct was not to be endured ; the judgment of the Court, therefore, was, that he be con fined within the walls for eight calendar months, for ' having fraudulently contracted debts without any pro bable means of paying them. James Hitchcock• was opposed by Mr. COOKE for a creditor named Jones. It appealed that the insolvent petitioned the Court in 182'2, and after referring if to the provisional assignee, the Court dismissed the sche dule. The former petition, however, has ing remained on the file, the present was of course dismissed. flii Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX has at length completed the new arrangements in his library, which for biblical and controversial literature is more curious than any other private collection in England. The 'Loyal Duke has recently added to his literary stores souse very valuable manuscripts and illuminated Missals, adorned with highly-finished miniatures, painted in the best style of the period to which they belong. A small Volume, entitled Practical Wisdom, or the Manual of Life, has lately appeared, which deserves to be strongly reconumnded as a Test-book for Youth. It consists of the cowl sels of the most eminent men to their children, including those of Hale, Franklin, Penn, &c. These counsels, valuable as they must ever be from their intrinsic excellence, become more so when we consider thint as having, for the most part, been framed under cir cumstances peculiarly calculated to unlock the inmost recess of the heart, to call torch the best treasures of experience, and to apply them .dl, not merely to the purposes of temporal success, but wise to the promotion of those eternal interests, compared to which the highest wordly aggrandizement appears, in moments of calp reflection. only as brilliant hubbies opposed to tile impermeable lustre of the diamond.

The Rifle Brigade marched fur Itathkeale to occupy the cantonments of the 10th Regiment, who are to pro ceed to juin head -quarters at Fetmoy. It is expected that in June the Ist Dragoon Guards will be re moved from Edinburgh, and that the Ist Royal Dragoons will march from York to Edinburgh; the 2d Dragoons (Greys) from Newcastle, &c. to Glasgow; 6th Dragoons from Glasgow to York. Friday the first division of the 94th Regiment marched from F.dinburgh Castle for Greenock, where the Reziment is to embark for Gibraltar.

A General Order is now in circulation addresqed to Colonels and Commanding Officers of Regiments. Upon reference to the 01.1 regulations for the purchase, sale, and exchange of Itegimertal Com mission; we find that the forms of applications for the side and purchase of Commissions, which prescribed a certificate, signed by the parties, that no sum beyond that limited by his Majesty's regu lations, would be demanded or accepted, are cancelled, and that the following parts are new : " OffiCe . rs retiring upon the half-pay, and receiving the differ ence, forfeit all claim to further rank or employment, to the pen sion for their widow,, and to compassionate allowance for their chil dren unless they repay the diffcrence upon being allowed to come in again upon the same rank in which they retired, but they forfeit their progressive rank during the period of their retirement.' " The required form to be accompanied with written certificates signed by the Commanding Officer ; viz. " Ist. That he has ascertained by reference, through the regimen tal agent, to the responsible persons, that in each case there is good and sufficient security that the purchase-money will be forthcoming when called for. " 2d. That of the individuals so returned as purchasers, A, B, C, are in all respects deserving of promotion, and those whom he would not hesitate to recommend, whenever the vacancy shall offer, as lit for the duties of the higher and more responsible commission. • " When the Regiments and Commanding Officers are abroad, the Commanding Officer is to state the security to which reference is made, and the Military Secretary will ascertain through the agents whether that security be good and sufficient, it being understood that if the answer be not at once satisfactory, the individual will be struck out of the list of purchasers. " The quarterly return so certified, is to be the only communica tion made on the subject of promotion by purchase; and when a resignation is sent in, it will be considered unconditional and irre vocable, and no successor is to be pointed out or recommended. " In all cases, the individual selected for the purchase, or his sure ties, will be called upon to lodge the purchase-money with the Agents. " If the senior who may have been returned as a purchaser, and whose money shall have been certified to be forthcoming, should decline the purchase when selected fur it, or his sureties should decline it fur him, he cr they will be called upon to state the reason for so declining to the Military Secretary, for the Commander-in- Chief's information ; and if the explanation should not be con sidered satisfactory, his name will be struck out of all future lists of purchasers. " The candidates who may be selected from reference to the quarterly returns for the purchase of promotion out of their own Corps, will be directed to lodge the purchase-money, without being acquainted in what regiment they are to obtain the promotion, nor will any application for the purchase of promotion which points out the expected vacancy be admitted. " That they do not Intend to sell out, or retire upon half-pay, after effecting such exchanges, but that it is their bona fide intention to join immediately, and do duty with the Corps to which they ex change, the leave of absence which may have been granted to either, or both, being cancelled by such exchange. " No Officer of Cavalry, who shall apply for permission to retire on half-pay, will be allowed to receive the difference between full pay of Cavalry and full pay of Infantry, but such exchange will be viewed as being, to all intents, an exchange to the half-pay of his branch (,f the service, receiving the difference between full pay and half-pay, and subject to the restrictions applicable to such exchanges. " In - exchanges to half-pay, either with or without the differ ence, or from Cavalry to Infantry, the applicatioa must be gene ral and unconditional, and the Officer upon full pay will not be al lowed to point out his successor, who will be indiscriminately se lected by the Commander-in-Chief, without any previous notice to the parties. " Every Officer who, from wounds, ill-health, infirmity, or age, shall become unfit for service, and who shall be desirous of retiring upon half-pay, will transmit his application through is Colonel, or Commanding Officer, accompanied by a certificate from the senior Medical Officer of the Regiment, expressing the cause of his be coming unfit for service, and which certificate must be countersigned by the Colonel or Commanding Officer."

The ti:tic ilipby produced on the occasion was indeed" below par," with the excep•ion of the Champion's own display. He was evidently improved by the experience he had in England. His first set-to was with a roundly-denier called Smith, as we have been told. Langan stood up well, displayed caution and considerable science ; he parried carefully, and made his rejoinder tell. The applause was tremendous. His next stand-up was with a muscular f: ;low, who possessed little science but great strength ; he was ot)li, , rtl to give in after Langan had opened his sniffling ; he th.n bowed and retired, yielding the claret plentifully. Some amateurs (complete gluttons at the non-scientific mawling plan) attempted to " flash it," but received little encouragement. He at the end addressed the House, declaring he would support the honour of his country while he lived, and that no man who stood in shoe-leather should beat him. This was received with cheers, huzzas, and exclamations of" May the Loan love the Irish." CORN-EXCHANGE, HARK-LANE. APRIL 26. The quantities of Corn that came in last week were only model rate. This morning there is a tolerable supply of Grain from Essex and Kent, but • carcely anything up front other parts, so that the Market has only a moderate chew of Grain today. Buyers still apprehend the opening of the Ports, and are consequently backward in purchasing, and the trade for Wheat is very dull to-day, and last Monday's quotations hardly supported. In Barley there is little doing, and last week's prices are supported. Beans and Peas sell heavily at last quotations. The supply of Oats is short, but the Market is dull, and prices hardly so gond. Fine Flour is quoted this morning at 60s. per sack. There is rather more business done this day in Clover Seeds than for some time. mien. ON lIOA RD SHIP.
