' -•- - HOUSE OF LORDS, Jams 13. THB DI L I M& PIZRAOH. Mr. HART said, that the claimant in this case was Sir John Shelley Sidney, Bart. who had petitioned his Majesty to terminate the abeyance of the barony of De Lisle in his favour. His Majesty referred it to the Attorney-General, who, after a minute investigation, reported that the claimant was the heir of the body of Warine De Lisle; but from the importance of other points, the Attorney-General thought it should be re fined to the House of Peers. Warine De L'lsle died is the sixth year of Richard 11. and it was recorded that he had been summoned to take his seat in Parliament .every Session from the 43d of Edward 111. (I 378) till the time of his death. He submitted that a barony by prescription was descendable to the heirs general, but there was a doubtlul point to decide, for which their Lordships had no precedent to guide them. Lord Coke laid it down that to establish a dignity by prescription, not only the original summons, but the consequent sit ting of the person summoned, should be proved by re cord. It was impossible to prove the latter in the pre sent instance, as there was no journal kept of the pro ceedings in the Lords till the reign of Henry VIII. but the various summonses were on record. There were many instances recorded of fines being imposed, in those "days, on Peers for not attending when summoned. The Learned Counsel submitted, that the absence of such a fine in this in-tance, where there had been sixteen sue ceisive sum ntonses issued, was a strong presuniption of Warine De L'ls.e having regularly taken his seat. He accounted for the title lying in abeyance solong, by the fact that there was not an heir male for the four succeed ing gener..tinns, and that the females had intermarried with Peers cf a higher title. The further consideration was postponed to Thursday next. Dnunv-Litot TIMMS —A new Musical After . .piece was produced at this House last night, with in different success s its title is The Recluse, and its origi. tallfor it is a translation) is Le Solitaire, with which the Parisians have ben so mightily pleased. The music, by CARAlrat t contains many pleasing specimens ; but there is scarcely chat acter enough about it to satisfy the English taste. The Drama is decidedly bad. and notwithstanding the efforts of HAMM. HOlll/, Miss GRADDON F SCC. it was received with disapprobation. Many innovations have crept into Bills, and passed through bqh Houses without notice, in consequence of the amendments and alterations aot having been marked, so as to engage the attention of Members.- 1 We therefore were glad that the CHANCIILLOIt of iheEz- G/ISQOSit on Friday night, upon . the debate on the Re. venue Bill, acquiesced in Sir R. WILSON'S suggestion, that in future all new matter, or words, introduced into Bills of Amendment, should be printed in italics; a regulation which will also much assist the dispatch of business. _ _ According to the account presented to Parliament, the Gold exported from January sth to April sth, 1825, has amounted to 536.673 0z.16 dwts. about 2,000,0001. liable; an., 1,554,287 0z.9 dwts. Silver, about 860,0001. value. The returns of the amount of Coin exported must necessarily be very incomplete. The journeymen tailors of Macclesfield have struck for an ad varce of wager. The shoemakers in Stafford shire are all out also. A Coroner's Ir.que , t has returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Lieut. William Pullen and others, of the Prerei.tive Servite, for the death of a smuggler in an affray last wed:, near Christchurch. The Ltoile has a long article relative to a statement drawn up from authentic documents, of the number of bad hOoks published in France within a few years (1817 to 1824). which are made to amount to above three millions of volumes : among these bad books are ' 40 %, 81J the works of Voltaire, Rousseau, Helvetia% Diderot, .4?..Raynal, Saint Lambert, Condorcet, Holbach, Volnez, Lebrun, Dulause (History of Paris), Llorento, :Ostory of the Inquisition, Cokn de Pigmy), &c. 1". In addition to the surprise expressed with regard to gee rapiditx of travelling, it may be mentioned as a cyrrnas iict; that a coach commenced running be torten Glasgow and Edinburgh, in 1650, which journey ir fierfairmed in thfee . days. The distance is now ae cdsqlished in seven hours! This was founded on a contract between the Magistrates of Glasgow and Wil liam;Hoom, Grass Maiker, Edinburgh, who received ipo, mats, for effectuating the design," and it was to run three years, provided encouragement offered, and the Burgesses of Glasgow to be preferred to seats, to the exclusion of others.. • A Gentleman, who had given his servant repeated orders to remove a table from the library without being attended to, becoming very much incensed at the dis• regard with which his mandate was treated, exclaimed, "' 4 3411 n„.

AMMO. ; The argument in this case was resumed. Mr. WOWS and Mr. CAMIIION were beard In reply on the rule for a new trial. Their observations were confined principally' to the points already raised and mooted in the former period of the argOment. The Loan Caner Justice and - Mr. Justice &Tiff delivered their opinions at length. that the rule should be discharged. Mr. Justice Hemmen and Mr. 'unite Ltrifill•Lit maim& The ground on which the Court rested its opinion was, that the appointment of Colonel Arthur to the military command of Honduras was good in the first instance; that, notwithstanding the reduction of the York Chasseurs, Colonel Arthur w4s still capable of holding this appointment, by force of military usage, in which the evidence on both sides concurred through out; that after this, Colonel Arthur had continued to correspond with the authorities in this country, which must be considered as a recognition of his military command; and that, lastly, the sense of the Crown in this matter was most clearly manifested by the mode in which it bad subsequently acted towards Col. Bradley. After the LORD Came Jarrow had delivered his opinion, Col. Bradley rose to address the Court, but was stopped by his Lord ship, who told him that he had bees heard by Counsel, wad the Coen could am listen to him. DOWNZ 0. BALLING AND GUMS. This, it will be recollected, was an act;oo by a mer chant in the City, against Hears. Hailing, Pearce, and Stone, haberdashers, of Cockspur4treet, to recover 50/. the amonat of a check belonging to the plaintiff, and which had been paid to the defendants. At the trial before the Lord Chief Juitice at Guildhall, it was proved, that the check was drawn in favour of the plaintiff by his brother, and delivered to him ; that six days after it was tendered at the shop of the defend ants by a woman, who bought goods to the amount of 1 ,61. 10s. and received full change; and that the neat morning it was cashed by the defendants, at the bankers' where it was made payable. The question left to the Jury was, whether the defendants took the check under circumstances which ought to have excited a suspicion in the minds of prudent and reasonable men ? and, upon this question, they found a verdict for the plain tiff. On a former day, Mr. Denman moved for a new trial on two grounds—first, that the question which ought to have been submitted to the Jury was, whether the defendants took the check makifide ; and, secondly, that the plaintiff ought to have given some account how he lost the check, before he could call on the de fendants to shew by what means it came into their possession? The Court, without hesitation, refused the rule on the first ground; but took time to consider whether they should rant it on the last. The Loan CUM/ ANTICS now expressrd the opinion of the Court, that no rule should be granted. It was not necessary to lay down as a general principle, that the loser of property which came into the pOs• tasiioo of others should shew how he lost i., Wore he could call on them to prove in what manner they obtained it; though to hold the contrary %%mild be, in many cases, to throw an insurmountable obstacle in the way of the owner, who alone might be cognizant of the circumstances of his loss, and who could not be ex amined in a Court of Law. But, in this case, where the check had been five or six days over-due, the de-1 fendants took it under circumstances which cast upon them a special and peculiar responsibility, and ',deb clearly exempted the plaintiff from the necessity, of proving the manner of the loss. The verdict, therefore, mutt be supported. THE CREDITORS OF MARSH, ;TRACEY, 4ND CO. A meeting of the above creditors took place Mon day at Basinghall•street; Mr. Bollard in the chair. After some unimportant propositions had been agreed to, Mr. Gordon said that in 1610, Mr. John Stracey advanced to Marsh and Co. 15,0001. in the 4 per Cent. Annuities, on condition that the SAM should be repaid, on giving sufficient notice, with interest : there was no claim made till 182 S, wben securities to a larger amount were by a deed assigned - to him. The ab.ore Annuities were sold off in 1824, and fetched 16,3791. It appeared that the securities remained yet in the hands of Mr. John Stracey; and by an Act which passed in the reign of James I. unless notice had been given to the securities by John Stracey previous to the bankruptcy, the assignees could claim the amount. *Mr. John Stracey had served his notice amecedent to the commission being issued against Mr. Pauntleroy, but after it had been issued against Marsh, Stracey, and Co. the question was, whether such notice was sufficient? The opinion of Counsel was, that it involved so much uncertainty as not to admit of any confidence in the result. It remained with the creditors to determine whether they should institute proceedings in Chancery against Mr. John Stracey, or redeem the securities by paying the amount of the debt? To a question front one of the Creditors, MG John Stracey re plied, that the amount was 31,900 L in $ per Cent. Consols. Several voices exclaimed that as it was a family conger° it was better to investigate it fully, and commence proceedings in Chancery. Mr.Sevatotta said that there was no doubt but that in equity Mr. John Stracey was entitled to the debt ; he felt confident that a suit in Chancery would not terminate in their favour even should they succeed, the utmost they could gain would be 4,0001. and for that they ought not to risk 31,9101. It was then moved by Sir RICNA ViD Haseuree, and seconded by Sir Dem Scott, that the Assignees be authorised to redeem the securities. This sootiest, after some discussion was carried by a lap majority. Some other unimportant matters having been dis cussed, the meeting separated. RESOLUTIONS OP IRISH Nonastam.—Mr. IiNSON has received from Lord Dowououssoar, the names of Lords MILTOWN, LUDLOW, ASHWORTH, and Cosmorama, to be added to the list of Noblemen who have already signed the Resolutions agreed to at Buck ingham House. It is reported that Lords DiLLON, Luc*w, and Hovrrx, hive likewise signified their assent to the Resolutions. GAMING.—A law to punish gambling has passed the Legislature of Illinois. The law makes it the duty of all Justices of the Peace, Sheriffs. Coroners, Constables, and Grand Jurors, to notice and give information of such offences to the proper authority ; and in case of neglect of duty in this matter, any such officer is to be fined in tbe slim of 100 dollars, and suspended from his office for the year. CONTIRSIONS TO PAOTEIBTANTISMe•—GRAWOR CA3- nx, MAT SO.—Within the fresent month, a man who resides at Ticknevin, barony of Carberry. and County of Kildare, named Join FLYNN, his wife and five childreniall of whom had been reared Roman Catholics), threw of the yoke of Popery, 'and embraced the Pro lestant Religion. Two other females have also con formed to the Protestant Chdrch within the last three mouths in the same parish. _ ~s:.' • • h.ear : . 04 • INIIIIIMII CLI'Y 52:EitSARQS. • The state beigsrbelonging to the dorpetetion of the Cltr of London has been completely repaired, and re. stored to its original splendour. The whole of the chaste and beautiful carved ornaments have been re gilt, in a style of the utmost richness and splendour. These consist of a magnificent carved shield, containing the City arms, with the crest and supporters, which, with the quarter figures of Neptune and Amphitrite, and other appropriate emblems, forms a most splendid stein. The grand cabin comprises everything required for comfort and convenience. It is ornamented with' gilt columns and carved panels, surmounted by a very rich scroll. The length of this grand apartment is thirty-five feet: it is seven feet in height, and will ac commodate one hundred and twenty persons. The painting is in various colours, but principally a rich scarlet, which is the livery colour of the city of London. The four Cardinal Virtues have been introduced on the , front doors, with appropriate emblems on the side panels. There is also painted a very rich Grecian scroll ornament on the saxboard, and the appropriate emblems of the civic authority, commerce, &c. &c. on the transom. The rudder is considered, and justly, as being bold and striking. It is ornamented with a fine muscular figure of a Triton, in excellent drawing and keeping. This splendid barge is considered one of the most beautiful models in this department of the art. She is in length eighty-six' fat, in breadth of beam fourteen feet; she is impelled by eighteen oars, deco rated with twelve colours, and cost the city of London three thousand guineas. Yesterday, about one o'clock, this stately vessel was launched at Lambeth, amidst a numerous assemblage of spectators. Letters and Papers have been received from Gibral tar to the 25d ult. by which we learn that the Letter of License for the importation of Bs itish manufactures info Spain had been suspended by order of FZRDINAND until the issuing of the new Spanish Tariff. This mea sure had considerably inconvenienced many of the mer chants, who, upon the faith of the Spanish Nconatcli's permission to import, had purchased largely of goods. The bands of robbers which infested the roads from Al dalusia to the capital continued to increase, and were daily assuming a more organised form. The Mail had been intercepted from Madrid on its way to San Roque, 4 few days before the departure of these letters, and a packet taken from it by an armed band. These letters further mention that it was the opinion of several mer chants and others, who had recently visited the interior and various parts of Spain, that a convulsion was on the eve of taking place. General Devaney; of the Colombian service, but a British subject, while travelling in Italy for the restora tion of his healthorras arrested at Rovigo on the 18th ult. by order of the Austrian Government, and sent to Venice, where he has since been confined a close pri soner. It is not tr:ual, of course, for arbitrary Govern ments to give an explanation of those actions it may suit them to resort to, but from some of the persons employed to arrest General Daman; it was under stood that it was done •' on account of his political opinions, and for hiving made war in South America en the side of BOLIVAL" The General, it appears, had no previous notice before entering the Austrian tern. tory t.f the d4nger in wsich he was placed. His papers were seized, sogether with some property he had about him, and these were to be sent te,Milan to be examined In the Emperor's-own presence.. A Gentleman who came over from Trieste on hearing of General Dm itaux's arrest, in order to inquire into' the cause, and to set about means for his liberation was reiused permis sion to see him. His place of confinement was the state prison in the ducal palace at Venice. - . Ftiday the first foundation stone of the West Sing* and East Hants Infirmary, was laid by his Grace the' Duke of Ricamonn,asLord High Steward of Chichester. INCRRA32 of WRALTH...4O the year 1765, the num ber of four-wheeled carriages was 12,904, at the present time there are 26,799, besides two-wheeled carriages, now 45,856. At the former period, the number of coach-makers in London wasp; who employed about 4000 men, working at the different branches of the trade; there are now 185 coach4nakers, employing 14,000 workmen. Wednesday last four deserters from the 24th Regi ment, who bad been placed in the town prison at Trurn,,made their escape, by forcing the fastening of the door, and then scaling the outer wall, from which they let themselves down by tying their blankets togs. tber. One of their companions; who had incurred the displeasure of his comrades, was left behind asleep. Oa awaking he was surprised to find himself alone, and the door open.. Three of the four who escaped were taken the next day at St. Colemb, and conducted to 'their former quarters. On sawing the log of an oak, at Bathey, near New ark, a bird's nest, with three eggs, was found in an oval cavity in the heart of the tree, the surrounding timber being without crack or aperture. The fire-drum beq• twice in Glasgow on Thursday. On the first occasion the stove-houses of Dalmarnock Dye Works were burnt down ; the second was a false alarm of a fire in Virginia-street. The ancient village . of Cow-close, near Ravensworth Castle, has been entirely demolished, excepting two houses, in order, it is understood, to beautify and adorn the widely extended domain of Ravensworth. BUCKINGHAM HOWL+ Buckingham House, cony. monly called the Queen's.

Mesa Ifiegitet. a person between thirty and forty.yeare of age ; was charged with having been found, at a late hour, in the house of Mee. Meson, in Addle-street. Mrs. Mecum stated, that she kept two young female servants, and having received an indmatiose from a neighbour that some man bad been let into the home several times about midnight. she desired the watchman to ring the bell viedently the neat time be saw the eaknovrn visitor enter This event occurred abort twelve o'clock sae Monday night, sad. on hearirig the alarm, Mrs. Mersostran denvis stairs, found the pi oneer Jut the passage, and gave him Into custody, though see of her servant girls pleaded in his behalf, and acknowledged she had isp traduced him. The prisoner declared he only wen t to the house on a visit to Marche Hill, the housemaid. Martha, who is a pretty girl, about eighteen, said, her mistrals allowed no follower% and she was &drew of exchangi e g a word with a period who would probably be her busibiid. He came from the same part of the country that she did, and was her " confidence keeper," and she bad dine nothing to disgrace keslelf. • Mrs. Meanie said, she was afraid she bad two r meadow* keepers" besides the prisoner. Sir It. C. Guru said be should diselearge the defendant. and the best way Mrs. Memel coda : adopt to avoid a repedtion at his hi erosions would be, not to permit the girl to remain another boor in bee service. He hoped her conduct had been as pure as she bad declared ; bet it was enough that It should be so in fact, the beha viour of a girl of her age should be above all suspicioe. . THAMES POLICE. Monday, Thous Ode, Mow Neel, and George Mrs, were charged with having, in conjunction with two others not in custody, used insulting, violent, and threatening language to John Bowles and W. Lake, shipwrights, in the employ of Messrs. Cur ling and Young, of Litnelsouse, foe the purpose of intimidating them front continuing at their work, at which they remained, con trary to the Regulations of the Shipwrights' Provident Union— The facts being clearly proved, the Magistrates Idd:tiled the dr fondants en the eneensky of their offence; pointing out to them, that while the law at present left them at liberty to combine, in a peaoloble ioniser, tee the regulation of their own wages, it could never he pulite:4 that they should interfere with, or molest those who rafmodas mune the same course ; and after esipreeshig their litm doeinedee In every future case of similar intertereace, to Wier the fidl awarded by the law, sentenced them, foe this Seat to Iv* weeks' imprisonnsetit in the Howse of Correction. Crime is rapidly decreasing in Dorsesshile• This is imputed by the Magistrates to the constant emplasinent of the poorer classes. There is not a single prisoner for trial now in the Oxford City Gaol. A petition has lately been presented to the 016110111.1.0 a of the EXcittittnit, signed by the principal asctioneers, praying. that in future one general license may be sib stituted for the many that are now requisite.
