belt Wdships took wady three hours this morning in ddslig th eir judgmlut% :midis% The question was , whether the wire and administratt ix of the late Rector of %Won and Prebend of South Grantham, in the Cathedral Church of ailisbure, had the right of presen tation to the living of Weldon? • Mr. Justice Panic observed, that Archbishops ap peared to be anomalies in ecclesiastical history, having been first set up as an encroachment on the legatees of the Popes ; but atter the Reformation, the encroach ment, thou,llt an aoomAly, was continued down to the present d y ? Mr. Justice GAIIIILIM was of opinion, that judgment ought to be given for the plaintiff, thereby giving the widow the right of pre-entation to the vacant living. The other three Judges were of a different opinion, and judg ment was therefore given for the defendant. MOH COURT OF AD:MALTY, Novastaca 28. IL otonoto. Dr. Lnautearost stated this to he an application for the entrance of an appeal frqm a decision of the Vice- Admiralty Court of Mallet This motion became ne cessary in consequence of the usual time for lodging such appeals having expired. The appellant was a French merchant, residing in the island of Candia; and ti's application came through the medium of the Frencli Consul at Malta. The Consul stated in his application, that frons-the war carrying on between the • Greeks and Turks, the commnnication between Candia • and Malta was very uncertain. and frequently, for a oeriod, wholly interrupted. This circumstance had led to the deli in the case now before the Court. Dr. ARNOLD opposed the motion, and contended that, there was no foundation whatever for the application. The distance from Candia to Malta was only about ten degrees of longitude, and, therefore, this appeal might . have been entered within the proper period. The fact, however, was, that this party had shewn no disposition to resist the decision of the Court below, until he found that.an appeal had been entered against that decision by the other party. Lord Srowar.t. said, Candia in particular laboured under the difficulty stated by the Learned Counsel (Dr. Lushisigton), and, therefore, he (Lord Stowell) con sidered the party entitled to his appeal, and granted the motion accordingly. ARCHES COVET, Nemeses 26. WILSON V. DEMING. Dr. JENNER opposed the admission of an allegation put in in this cause respecting the will of Lady Graves, deceased,uponwhich a limited probate had been granted. It appeared that Lady Graves (formerly Miss Susan nah Blacknell) was possessed of con4derable property in her own right. On her ma riage with the late Adm . Sir T. Graves, she executed deeds, vesting her property in trustees, and she reserved in then" a power, that, in the event of her surviving her husband, she might by will dispose of it, if executed in the presence of three itnesses. In failure of her so doing, the property went to her next of kin. She survived her husband about 12 months, and during his lifetime executed a will Con veying the property to the defendant. But it was con. tended on the part of the next of k;n, that the pewer given her by the clause in the marriage settlement ex ' tended only to an instrument effected by her after she survived her husband ; whilst the will in alue.tion had been executed during his lifetime, to take effect after her death. Doctors Loantmorosr and Donsox argued at consi &table length, cr ntending that the doctrine laid down in this case did not apply. Lady Graves being entirely mistress of her own property, she, by the deed, was en• abled to grant as a, femme sole, and it also appeared that the will under which she conveyed the property was made, not only by virtue of and in reference to the deed of settlement, but by virtue of all other powers vested in her. The right to her own property, where not r.therwise specially reserved, could not be defeated by her marriage settlement; the principle had been recognised by Lord Hardwiske, in the cases of Sale v. Freeman, 2 Ventrix ; in the case of Madi oa, 1 Ve-ey, • 61, and in the memorable case of the Duke of Marl borough o. Lord Godolphin, it was decided that the most liberal construction should be given, wherever a Fatty possessing a property in their own right should subsequently create a power to restrict themselves. — The Learned Advocates contended that,in point of fact, the settlemp . t made, gave to Lady Graves a power of making a will ; even before marriage ; if she had done se, it must be deemed a valid instrument. Or, in the event of her having executel any deed, conveying, for va!uable consideration, the property away altogether, it vvruld stand good. Notwithstanding the marriage set tlement, the deed was, under all circumstacces, entitled to the most favourable construction, and at all events, could not destroy rights previously existing in her. Sir Joni! ?helms. said, be would admit the allegation, in which the will, with limited probate granted thereon, was recited. THE EVI4]NING STAR LONDON. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 29. 1823. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Although the Consol Market has considerably improved sirce yesterday morning, it Is not as yet in a settkd state. Consols opened at 824,and were afterwards done at 821 for theAccount,and continued for some time at various fluctuations; since which they got up to 8211, and are now 824 to 83 for Account. The business has not been con4derahle as yet, and the Market is still in a feverish state. For Money they, are 811 1. In the.

Cons. tot Opening 82 1 4 14 83% 82% 831/g The demand for money has increased to a degree of frenzy, and the panic which has in consequence per. 'tided all classes, is now productive of great and over whelming distreis. The rush on the Banks, and Public IP - 'and Private Securities, both in town and country, for , the purpose of procuring circulating medium, is Car ded on with such unmitigated fury, that the re-action may very speedily be Inked for. There neither is nor can be any rational motive for this sudden attd unex ampled fright, which is quite as unreasonable as the senseless mania for speculation of last year—that unhallbwed parent of the present misery. If, in a season of general suffering, there were any con *elation to be derived from being reminded that such suffering had been long ago predicted. and that a friendly voice had, in the most anxious 'terms, been raised to warn the public of the evils which were approaching, that they might be met with quiet, sober, and prudent pal liatives, the STAR may claim its full share of credit for having vigilantly discharged its duty to its Readers.— There would be singular want of feeling and taste. however, in expressing that which we are the last to entertain, anything like triumph on such a melancholy occasion. But we have some right, from the experience of the past, to claim this much of the confidence of the Public in our financial reasonings, that it should be believed they are not hazarded on slight grounds. We therefore state confidently, that the existing de mand for capital is unwarranted, unnecessary, exces sive, and, like extremes of all kinds, will immediate'', perhaps in a few weeks, be followed by a corresponding want of employment for money. Confidence between debtor and creditor, is for the moment indeed shaken to its foundation, but it will speedily revive when the unthinking panic of the day has been found to be without adequate cause. The discount to which Ex chequer Bilk have fallen is in particular unreason able, when it is remembered that they are taken at their full value in payment of the Revenue, the quarterly receipts of which is sufficient to absorb ten millions of them, and to liberate cir culating medium to that amount. And the heavy drain of capital occasioned by the ettensive impotta- 1 tions of last year, will be speedily counteracted by a proportionate export in that which is to follow. With, the single exception of the vacuum occasioned by the, foreign loans and adventures, the share speculations, bad as they are, cann . st have occasioned any dearth of money in the country at large, seeing that they are evidently no more than a transfer of money from one hand to another. True it is that the Gudgeon family, a numerous and ancient race in England, have been drained, but it is no less certain that 'the sharks, who, in modern times have become very populous in these kingdoms, are overflowing; to all other parties matters remain as they were. Even in respect to the foreign loans, it is reasonable to hope that the interest will at least be paid for some time 'to come, and possibly, also, some instalments towards the principal. That interest is mostly in all cases so high as to replace the money lent in ten years. In other cases, when the interest is lower, the security is good, and therefore the creditor derives • a permanent revenue from a foreign territory, which is clearly an accession of wealth to this nation. There is no room, therefore, for despondence; and we will fearlessly hazard a prediction, that no possible combination • f circumstances can, for any consider able number of months, in a time of profound peace, keep the price of Three per Cent. Stock under 85. The ordinary progress of savings, which sets in with el steady though imperceptible current, will of itself raise'them to that level, in proof of which we have only to advert to the Savings Banks, tho e admirable depositaries of the hutrible earnings of the poor, which send in every six Imonth: a regular increment of one million sterling ! They have been very few years in general operation, and yet, let it be remembered that they have invested in the public funds a capital of more than twelve mil lions, clear of all the sums withdrawn, which last have never, since the beginning, equalled three quarters of a million. A Meeting of the New Cathec Association took place on Friday, when we are assured, by one Dub lin Paper, that •nly. sixteen persons attended ; be this as it may, there was no lack of speeches, and a pretty particular considerable deal of business was chalked out, including motions recpecting the marriages of Citbolics and Prnte,tants, and a resnlu' ion to hold a Session of the Old Association for fourteen days, to commeoce on the 10th of January, by which means it is intended to evade the Act of Parliament passed for its suppression. Among other things it was iesolveJ to give a grand national dinner, to the friends of civil and religious liberty, that is to say, those members of the British Parliament who supported the Catholic Claims, including the Bishops of NORWICH and Ro. CHESTER. Some other Protestant Gentlemen were also named, as intended to be invited to this " feast of rea son and flow of soul." No part of the proceedings of the Catholic Associa tion lately, has given us more pleasure than this, and we sincerely hope the dinner will take place. We shall then see how many British Protestant Pee s, who conscientiously voted for Catholic Emancipation, will sanction, by their presence, the recent conduct of the leaders of the Catholics in Ireland. No man can now for a moment believe, that an equal participation in political rights would satisfy that portion of the Ca.holics which Mr. OTONNILL and his party repre sent ; they aim at the separation of Ireland from Great Britain, and that by calling in the aid of foreign Powers ; nay, farther, by identifying themselves with the treasonable address of Dr. M‘Navta, of New York, and his associates; they prove that nothing short of the abolition of the Protestant Church, in Ireland, will sa tisfy them. What British Peer then, be . his opinions as to the question of Emancipation what they may, will give it his support while the cause is itt such hands, and , leagued etilh *salt tneo. the Bilhops of !stove. wren and lincHestett, mingle with the men who hesi tate not to avow, that the overturning of the Protestant teligion in Iteland, at least is their o►,ject ? They will rot, they cannot. Will the Catholics of England iden tify themselves with the measures the Irish leaders are pursuing, and the principles they avow ? We trust to GOD they will not ; their conduct has hitherto be . •n temperate and discreet, but if they once sanction, even by their silence, the inflammatory harangues of art OTONNIBLL or a Saint., and the treasonable Pt °cisme tion of a Nl.Nevitt, their cause is, if not wrecked for ever, at least thrown back to an immeasurable distance. But it will be said, have the Irish Catholic leaders identified themselves w ith Dr. APNlviu and his mani festo ? We say they have. In the STA R of Sa turday we quoted a passage from the official organ of the Catholic leaders, the Dublin Morning Register, which fully proves this. We have also before us the Dublin Weekly Register of Saturday, which not only contains the Address of Dr. NPN6VINT, hut alludes to it in the following terms:" The American Address to the People of Ireland—We have had the pleasure of presenting this important document to the people of Ireland : it has, as we expictecl, caused a great and powerful sensation. We shall have occasion to advert to it at length on a future day. It is delightful to the aggrieved to hear the voice of consolation coming, as it does, from a free and generous people." Our Readers will not fail to notice the gross per version in this paragraph, which we will not allow to be an unintentional bull. It will be seen, not only by the title given to this address, in calling it American, but by the concluding paragraph, that the Echor wishes his readers and the poor deluded Catholics of Ireland to understand, that the address is from the citizens and people of the United States ; whereas, it is only the address of a few renegade Irishmen:in New York, who songht an asylum in America, when they had failed to revolutionize their own country: the address itself, indeed, professes to be nothing more. It is directed to the people of Ireland, and thus commences, " lour co.rntrymen who address you from this abode cf peace and liberty, have no personal interests, neither hopes nor fears to connect them with Ireland." After a perversion so gross, we shall wait with some anxiety for the promised remarks of the Dublin Register on this precious document, the real character of which it totally misrepresents. Dutch Papers to the 24th inst. reached us this fore noon. They are s'ngularly destitute of intelligence. The Hague Courant contains, at great length, an article from the Ba,fslo Putrict, relative to the new Jewish settlement on Grand Island, in North America. The Amsterdam Courant contains the Proclamation of Baron VARA= Cargra.am, GOvernor-General of India, for the establishment of entrepots in the Dutch East India possessions. This forenoon we received Harnburgh Papers to the 19th instant. They contain accounts from St. Peters. burgh, but, though one day later than the news from that city in the French papers, ate wholly silent as to the adjustment of the differences between Turkey and Russia noticed in the STAR of yesterday. The follow ing'are extracts: ST. PETERSWRGII, Nomura S. An ordonnance, lately published, allows foreigners to settle in the privileged town of New Russia as merchants .of the Sd class, or as Russian subjects ; at the same time, the privileges of these towns are extended to a longer pehod. A second ordonnance allows foreign artisans, on payment of a tax of 20 .roubles, to bealtne masters in the Guilds of Artisans in the towns in the interior of Russia. We now hear no more of the Bible Societies in Rus sia, which were formerly so active ; that of Fi n l an d celebrated its 7th anniversary on the 3d of this month.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sra—Thn observations made in your Paper of la , Wednesday, relative to the Corn Laws, will meets re sponse in the hearts and opinions of nineteen out ,1 twen , y persons throughout the country. Our population is increasing at the rate of 200," every year, and allowing a quarter of wheat as , annual consumption of each person, where are the a. ditional 200,000 quarters this year, the addi • • 400,000 ;se* year, &c. kc. kc. to come from, if we • not to import from foreign countries? Many of on pastures have already been converted into arable land (and this has enhanced the price of mean, waste land have been brought into cultivation ,at an immensen peon., and with a very inadequate return. Machinery of every description has been introduced, but them fined limits of our island must necessarily bound its agricultural productions. The Agriculturists tell w, so far honestly, that they are unable to supply us with food under a certain price, varying generally from 68s. to 755, per quarter, even in years of plenty. Um we turn the whole country into a hot-house, and torte two harvests in the year, I know no human mama supplying our increasing population with bread. But they, • the Agriculturists, say, your Guymon made prohibitory laws for trade and manufactures , and see the beneficial consequences which have arises— Why should it not be so with assn? But the mow: are as distinct as their productions. By the encourage. ment given to trade and manufaoures, you were tun• mately enabled by skill, perseverance, machinery, and locality, to ba ;; e the lower rate of wages, and char living of other countries, so as to exceed them all u the amount of your produce, and in the cheapness of its price. But could you et(' eipect to do, so yid corn ? Far from supplying Europe with your soPerh it, ' you are unable to furnish your own working clam with bread. Besides, much land is annually withdrawn from Its cultivation of corn, by the enlargement of tides anal towns, the erection of villas and extension of plastatiem and garden grounds, new roads, canals, itc. thus disposed of, has been sold for vety high prim and I look forward to the period when a very loge portion of our arable lands will undergo a simix transformation.—l am, Sir, your's, &c.
