;inmate. We Lave no objection to Members of Par liameat gaining every information requisite to enable *them to discharge their legislative funitions, but re turns are often called for, which are not only in them- selves trivial, lint the information might have been ob tained through ether channels. Such we conceive to be the case with .. Parliamentary Paper now before us, which is entitTed . —" An Account of the Charges made by, and M , nies paid to the Court of Chancery, for the sealing, writing, and enrolling of any one Commission of Sewers, in the customary and ordinary manner." From this return we learn the iniport3nt fact, that the charge for the first skin am3unts to £6 9s. Sd. of which the LORD CMANCILLOR gets a couple of shillings, and that for every other skin the expense is £4 Now we really think, if the Honourable Meml-er who moved for this document had just stepped to the Crown Office, in Chancery.lane, Mr. WILBRAHAM, the Deputy Clerk of the Cruwn, would have given him the infor mation, and thus saved the expense to the country of having it printed on a half sheet of foolscap. Pe:haps if the name of the Member who called for the document was indorsed on the back of it, it might have a good effect—for Honourable Members would not like to be found calling for things which do not exist—as the emphatic . word Ail, which is the only return to many a paper called for in Parliament, proves. • A cnnsiierable portion of our Paper, both yesterday a•cl to.day, is rccupied with an account of two Public Dinners given in Scotl,nd, the first at Glasgow to Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, and the second at Edinburgh to Mr. BROUGHAM. Although we agree in the lull right of any body of persons meeting to express, by a Public er, or otherwise, their approbation of the conduct of distinguished individuals, yet we much doubt the policy of such assemblages, particularly at the present moment, ilasmuch as they serve to ke-p alive party spirit, at a time when nearly all classes are united in their sentiments as us public measures. The speeches of some of the Gentlemen at both Meetings, were pretty highlyseasoned and ra.herwanting in that liberality which should accompany high birth and distinguished talent. At the Glasgow Dinner, when the political toasts had all been exhausted with a due portion of wine, and when Sir WALTER SCOTT had been abused, and Mr. CAMP• ZELL eulogized, the health of the liberal part of Lis MAJESTY'S Ministers was drank as an afterthought. We think the toast of the Ministers might have been given without such qnalificstion, without compromising the sturdy principles of any Gentleman present. At the Edinburgh Dinner, however, the speakers were as careful in omitting to drink the health of any Mem- ber of the Administration as they were in avoiding praising it. We certainly do not blame these Gentlemen, but it ill accords with the very liberal feelings they profess. FOREIGN FUNDS, TWO O'CLOCK. • Austrian Bonds 5 per Ct.

A Brevet is expected to take place on the S3d inst. The head-quarter division of the 31st (Huntingdonshire) Foot, will embark forthwith, from Chatham for India. _ .. . . The 10th Hussars are to embark at Waterford, disembark at Bristol, and march to Exeter. The 55d Foot has been ordered from Weedon to Chatham. A Company of the Royal Staff Corps, under the command of Captain Kiwi, is about to embark immediately for Canada. Ano ther Company of the same Corps will shortly embark for New South Wales, under the orders of Captain Deasstemuz. The Bth Regiment of Foot (the King's) commanded by Lieut.- Colonel Durres', is quartered at Plymouth. Recruits fur the 2d (or Queen's), the 34th, 59th, 74th, and other Regiments on foreign stations, are now within three days' much of their immediate destination—the Depot at the Isle of Wight.

The destination of the Ist Battalion of the 60th (the Duke of York's Own Me Corps) was stared on Thursday. through a ty pographical error, to be" Windsor," instead of ° Weedon." The junior Officers of the three Regiments of Guards are em ployed in learning the new method of manoeuvring, lately intro duced into the Army by Sir H. Tolman. A strong detachment of these distinguished pupils may he seen, under the command of a Serjeant-blajor, actively engaged in Hyde Park, every morning. from sight till ten, where it Is quite satisfactory to observe their steadiness, attention, and activity.

The Bill in question purported to have been accepted by I person 'awned Oakley; and several persons were called, all of whom swore Art sack a person was in existence, and that the prisoner was known to him. 'erect—Ned Guilty. The case occupied the whole of the nsorning. The various schemes of the day still retain undis-, embed possession of the Exchange, and the Premiums on their se. veral Shares are for the most part in an inverse ratio to their nab. Smug merits. This may appear at first a paradox to the unit& imarii, but will be, in a measure, understood by those who have flabed, to their coat, the incessant ingenuity of projectors in blowing eV tbsir bubbles. As an instance we note the Western Ship Canal Shares are seldom quoted, and if quoted, appear at a moderate Premium, while every fancied diamond pro t ect cuts a most brilliant figure. We are glad to find, however, that the national under taking alluded to is steadily proceeding, and that the holders et Shares have the good sense to keep them. Mr. O'Corr lux presided, onTuesday last, at a public dinner of the Friends and Patrons of the Dublin Paul's Charity School. The Learned Gentleman addressed the Meeting in a speech of some length, in the course of which he paid . a high compliment to Mr. PLDNEZTT, and observed that the blessings which Ireland has now in prospect are the consequence of the KING'S auspicious visit to Ireland. The most enthusiastic applause marked Mr. O'Conutu:s speech throughout. Therewill be a conjunction of the Moon and Georgians Sides in Capricorn at half-past four o'clock to-morrow morning, and a Quartile of the Sun and Georgium Sidus from Aries and Capricorn at midnight. A Meeting took place in the Vestry-room of Spital- 1 fields Church, on Wednesday, to take into consideration the Claims of the Roman Catholics, and to prepare a Petition against them. The intentions of the party that called the Meeting together were defeated, and the assembly broke up without coming to any Resolption. The journeymen tailors of Exeter have struck for wages. They demand an increase of one halfpenny per hour, and other advantages. DARING Rosaani.--On Thursday afternoon, a daring robbery was committed at the house of Lady W. SZTMOUIt, Boston-green, Little Ealing. Her Lady ship had been writing letters in her library, and when she bad finished, she walked into the garden for the purpo e of gathering some flowers, least. g the library window open, and a valuable gold repeater lying on her writing table. When . she returned, in a few mi nutes, the repeater was gone. Her Ladyship iavi an .ldrm,and some men having been seen in a cart near the premises, suspicion fell on them, and a pursuit was raised, but they escaped. Amid* All4l, 7. , .

A Meeting of the Vestrymen of St.Luke's,Middlesex, took place onWednesday, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, pursuant to a public notice signed by the Churchwar dens of the Parish, for the purpose of Petitioning Par liament against the Roman Catholic claims. After some discussion pour et centre, it was decided by a ma jority of about 40 to 16, that Petitions should be pre sented to both Houses of Parliament, net to grant such further concessions to Roman Catholics as may lead to the exercise of political power. A Meeting for the purpose of considering the pro. priety of petitioning Parliament against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics, was held at Wey mouth, on Wednesday last, when a Petition against the Claims was unanimously agreed to. The Earl of ELGIN having learned that the striking epidemic had made considerable progress in his exten sive coal works, and that in a few days the workmen would make a stand for advance of wages, was resolved to be beforehand with them, and on the 29th gave orders that all the men employed in his different pits should be immediately dismissed, and ordered to quit their abodes. .. Some few years since, a house, situated on the cliffs at the back part of the Isle of Sheppy, was ingulfed by the failing of the cliff; the occupier of the house was owner of it, and of about five or six acres of land ad joining, from the produce of which he maintained him self, a wife, and six children ; the family slept in the house on Friday night, and on Saturday being alarmed by a partial separation of the walls, and the near ap proach of the cliffs, they removed with their furniture, and on Sunday the house entirely fell down with a part of the Cliff. Although the family thus escaped being buried in the ruins, the total destruction of the house, I the demise of the owner, his wife, and one of his chil dren, all happened within the short period of a week ! I The only remnant of the plot of ground now left is a corner of the orchard, with three worn-out fruit-trees. Pactsawr —Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock,Probert was visited by his wile, Mr. Noyes (her brother), and the prisoner's mother. This is the first interview Mrs. Probert has had with her unhappy husband, and the meeting between them was truly affecting. On entering his apartment she approached him in a flood of tears to embrace him : Probert coolly desired her not to fret. and to bear herself up under her aSictions with forti tude. Mr. Noyes was also very much affected. The prisoner's mother, his wife, and brother-in-law remained, by the permission of the Sheriffs, some time longer than usual with the prisoner. He is pet fectly composed, and converses with those about hint very cheerfully. So many accidents have happened by foot. passengers falling off the pavement since the alterat;ons have taken place on Blaclariars-bridge, by which the cart iage.road was lowered, when it was Macadamized, that the Com- 1 mittee have determined to raise the centre of the bridge again, but not to its former level ; and yesterday, seve ral men were employed in raising the carriage•road. It is at present intended to heighten it about eight incites.

Cooper .hewed 'at Hoit's on Thursday, but Ward forgot to come. RUTHIN-(DENBIGHSEURg). CURIOUS CASS. George Edwards, of Wrexhatn,labourer,(better known as the Dandy Pig Max,) was tiled under 43d Geo. 111. (called Lord Ellenborough's Act) for stabb , nlz, cutting, and maiming Thom is Yates of Wrexham, nailer, with intent to kill and murder him ; and there was anther count in the indictment charging him with st cutting, and maiming the prosecutor, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. It appeared in evi dence, that the prisoner ran out of his own house. stabbed the prosecutor (who was endeavouring to take away his father from the sister of the prisoner, 4IL II whom he was engaged in a quarrel) in the 1 It ear, a shoemaker's knife, dividing the ear downwards, and inflicting a wound of four inches in length, extendinz down the neck to the throat, and dividing the external jugular vein, as well as some branches of a rteries; hat the prosecutor had been confined to his bed for about eight weeks in consequence, and his life depaired ot. 'The trial occupied more than nine hours, and the Chief Justice having read the whole of the evidence, charged the Jury with his usual ability and precision. They retired for about 10 Minutes, when thtir Foreman pronounced a verdict of Guilty, and added, atter a short pause, "but not with intent to murder." The CHIEF Alarm then rose, and again addressed the Jury, observing he had helot e told them, that there was another count in the indictment, c',arging the pri soner with stabbing, cutting, and maiming tine prose cutor, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm ; they would therefore consider whether he so cut the prosecutor with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm ? The Foreman, in a few seconds, answered " No." The CHIEF Juance observed, " Then you find that the prisoner cut the prosecutor for his own anius for such is the effect of your verdict?" The officer of the Court sown afterwards asked the Jury the usual question of " Guilty, or Not Gulty ?" when, to the astonishment of a very crowded Court, the Foreman exclaimed, " lvot Guilty!" A fine regular-rigged stiop of war, we are told, is now fitting out at Blackwall. Her destiny is to c.ruize against the Mahratta pirates, who infest the coast of Ba tavia. This extraordinary ship, the first of the kind made is Europe, unites the powers of sailing or steam ing, separate or connected, at pleasure. The paddles fold up like a Lady's fan, and with great facility. As Mr. Pitcher, of Blackwell, was crossing the River on Thursday, the boat in which he was was run down by a steam-boat, and Mr...P. was di o.vned. A small piece of ground, used as a twine walk, near the Church-walk, Ulverstone, which was not long aF,o sold for 251. was last week put op to public auction, and fetched the enormous sum of - 6951. In consequence of what has appeared in the public prints, and an order issued by tie Magistrates of Queen square Office, several respectable licensed victuallers in Westminster attended the office, for the purpose of de liveiing up the constables' staffs, which they have for many years been in the habit of having hung up in their respective bars, being convinced that it was illegal to have such an instrument in their possession at all. Licensed victuallers are exempt from serving the office of Constable by Act of Parliament. Several horses have, within these last ten days, he en stolen out of the paddocks of Gentlemen, amt. t h e stables of the farmers in the county of Lincoln, btt. a m% Spalding and Spilsby ; some of them very valamb t . ones ; and such is the systematic plan laid &s l ab ? the depredators, that not the least trace of ;Asa has been discovered.
