DUS‘AM. The more regular and systematic speakers \ oft the right hand of the throne, are Lords Anal:man,- Duntay, and BATHURST, Which last is, bating . great deficiencies of manner* .a very ; sensible,aisd dignified speaker. On the left are, 'Lord floi.t.ants, the most impetuous; Lord GRIM the most elriquent r and Lord lAnsoowx, the smoothest, of the Whig orators in the Upper House. "Among the auxiliaries the former Wilt have the Earl of MALMESRURY, Lord COLCHBSTSR, and several others—the latter will have Lord KING, perhaps the Earl of LAUDIRDALE. 'the Premier does not pre tend to speak, and will not, we are inclined to believe * , attempt' it. His brief addresses; however, cannot fail to carry great weight, not only from his station, but from his high character. In the Commons the lead will, of course, fall to Mr.Pw, and it could hardly fall to one more able to take it. He is not only an able debater, bat his exquisite command of temper renders him admi rably adapted for soothing the.stnrms of opposition. Mr. Grunt is no debater, nor is Mr. Husztssos. Mr. Goole Bunn and Mr. BLRRIRS are no speakers. The task of supporting Mr. PM will fall principally to Lord PAL UTRATON. The Opposition Bench is strong in speakers. In replying on financial questions, Mr. Tears,/ is singularly felicitous, and his talents in dry, cutting satire, are unmatched. Luckily, Mr. FIEL's course has been so arniahle and consistent—he has done his minis tering in every office which be has successively filled, so gently, yet so firmly, that there are very few joints in his mail that satire can hope to pierce.. On general questions, Mr. BROUGHAM is, perhaps, the most pow• erful speaker in either HOW, and there are Sir F. Ulm- DITY, Sir JAMS, MACILINTOMI, and a host of others. THE ARMY.

The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning in hearing motions for new trials, a list of eight having been sent In this morning. Before they %%ere gone into, Lord TENTIRDEN adverted to the old practice of the Court, according to which motions of this kind were' , confined to the first four days of each Term. They had lately been allowed to be made after the first four days of Easter and Michaelmas Terms, on account of the press of business from the Circuits; but the Court had determined that in future no motions for new trials shotitd be heard after the first four days of Hilary and Trinity Terrhs. The circumstance of Counsel being frequently unprepared to make their motions within the first lour days, arose from the fault of the attornies, who did not deliver their instructions in proper time. BULLETT V. HUTCHINSON. Mr. KELLY moved for a rule nisi, to set aside the verdict obtained by the plaintiff in this case and enter a nonsuit. The action, which was tried' at the late sittings at Guildhall, was to recover the amount of two bills of exchange, which had been entrusted to the defendant for the purpose of getting them discounted. The de fendant-on receiving them, gave a written undertaking to thoplaintiff to return them on demand, in case he did , not sixceed in getting them discounted. This under .taking• was given in evidence on the trial, notwithstand ing it was found to be without a stamp. Mr. Kelly now contended that it ought not to have been received with out a common agreement stamp. The Learned Counsel cited several cases, to shew that a document of this de scription required a stamp. Lord TENTERDIEN observed, that as the bills were not delivered to the defendant to be converted to his own use, but merely as agent of the plaintiff for the purpose of getting them discounted .and handing over the pro ceeds to the plaintiff, the case was analagous to that of an attorney who was intrusted with title deeds or other documents,. for a particular purpose. The Court could not therefore think that this undertaking required a stamp.—Rule refused. FRITH V. THRUSH. Ws was an action by an , endorsee against an endorser of a bill of exchange. It was tried at the last sittings in London before Lord TENEERDEN, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. BROUGHAM now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered, or why a new trial should not be granted.— The bill in question, it appeared, was accepted for the accommodation of a person of the name of Major, a clothier, at Frome, in Somersetshire, by whom it was drawn. It had been passed into the hands of the de• fesilant, an innholder, residing at Bruton, near Frome, ,imse gave directions to Major to endorse it for him to the.plaintiff. "Major deputed his daughter to make the liitiorsernent in the defendant's name ; and that being del*, the bill was handed over to the plantiff. Mr. Brotighain took exception to this mode of . endorsement, which he contended was irregular. The Court, how everoyerreled the objecticn. The. Learned Counsel then submitted, that no sufficient notice of the dishonour of the bill by the acceptor had been given to the defend• ant. The notice was sent by post, and did not reach the defendant's hands for two months. It was sta ed that the plaintiff did not knoW, at the time the bill became due, that the defendant resided at Bruton, and that on his discovering his residence, a fresh notice of the dis honour was forwarded to him. It appeared, however, 'that the second notice was not given until two or three days after the defendant's residence was known to the plaintiff; and Mr. Brougham now contended, that the cause of the claty ought to have been explained by evidence at,theltial.—;Rule nisi granted. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Sir JAMES SCARLETT (who, having resigned his of. fice of Attorney-General, took his seat this morning below the senior King's Counsel) applied to the Court for a rule to chew cause why a criminal information should not be tiled against a Gentleman of the name of Peachey, a Magistrate of the county of Sussex, on the ground that belted, from corrupt motives as a Ma gistrate, refused to grant a license to Mr. Richard Clark, the proprietor of the Royal Clarence Hotel at Bognor. The Court was aware that an application of this kind was one in which the party on v.hose behalf it was made was placed under considerable difficulty, inasmuch as he was bound to strew that the party against whom he applied had been influenced in his conduct by corrupt motives, which ought never to in fluence magisterial decisions. In proportion, however, to the difficulty would she the strength of his claim, should he succeed in satisfying the Court, from the whole of the circumstances, that there was fair and reasonable ground for attributing such motives. Mr. Clark, at whose instance the present application was made, stated in his affidavit, that in 18514 he purchased the hotel at Bognor ; that it was then licensed, and vi sited by families of distinction, particularly during the summer mouths; that he continued to keep it until the year 1826, when a fire happened in the town, and it was burnt down; but that he is still paying a heavy rent under a lease of the premises, which he took in 1821; that, for the purpose of continuing his business. he purchased two houses contiguous to the former building, and fitted them up in one house as an hotel for the accommodation of the visitors at Bognor ; and there being no other house in the place fit for the re ception of the respectable persons who resorted thither, he anticipated no difficulty in obtaining a license for the new hotel. He accordingly, at the proper time, applied to the Petworth Quarter Sessions, of which Mr. Peachey was Chairman, for a license, which was re fused, without, however, any reason being assigned for such refusal on the part of Mr. Peachey. Several other Magistrates were present, and one of them subsequently expressed an opinion that the license ought to have beets granted. Mr. Clark, the Learned Counsel con tinued, had spent from twelve to fourteen thousand pounds in building the new hotel, which had been pa ' tronized by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, and was now called ,4 the Royal Clarence Hotel."— The house had never been complained of as disorderly, and it could not be said that it, was useless to the town of Bognor, for during six months of the year at least it was frequented by the most fashionable company. Mr. Clark being refused a license on his first application, determined to renew it on the next license day, and for that purpose, after complying with the requisitions of . - the Act of parliament, be procured the support of op wards of SO of the most respectable inhabitant house• holders in Bognor, at the head of whom was the Earl of Arran. They recommended the license to - be granted. on the ground that the prosperity of the town of Bognor depended principally on distinguished company con tinuing to resort thither. The application, however, was again refused. The Sessions were adloirried to a subsequent day, and Mr. Clark having determined to make another attempt to procure the license, presented to the Magistrates a memorial bearing the signatures of about SO persons, representing the wish of the prin cipal inhabitants of Bognor that the new hotel should be licensed, the Claremont Hotel having now become reduced to a mere shed, and.not fit for the reception of such families as usually visited.Bognor. This third application, however, was also unsuccessful, though there was no imputation of improper conduct on the part of Mr. Clark, who had, in addition to the . memorial, procured a certificatcof his perional fitness and good character. The objection, it should seem, related to Mr. Clark personally, - though it had been said the refusal of the license arose from a desire s protect the interests of the family to whom the former house belonged. He (Sir J. Scarlett), however, thonghs that Mr. Peachey might be satisfied to let the interests : . ' of that•family be protected by the Court of Chancerj, under whosejutisdiction they now were, and not sacrifice the interests of a whole neighbourhood, for the purpose . of protecting a single family. Lord . lasrgarnto—Had Mr.Clat k been licensed before? Sir JAMES Scooloorr.—Yes, my Lord, and he has a licence still for the old house, which is now, however, little better thau asked ; it was, in fact, part of the house that had been burnt down. Mr. Peachey had peremptorily' refused to giant the license for the new house, but had refused to assign any reason for Os doing. He said, 4, I will not license you ;" and when Mr. „ Clark asked him why, he said, ts You have got your answer, Sir, in the refusal," and desired him to lefivet4 Court. Mr.. Claric afterwards wrote a letter to Mr. Peachey, stating the tess,ons why he conceived a license ought to be granted ; but the only ansoer he got was .this--" Sir, I wonder at your assurance—you shall not hove a license." It was rather difficolt to account for this refusal of Mr. Peachey, and the only motive that could be attributed might be infers ed from the following circumstanc. : Soon after Mr. Clark had come tooeside at Bognor, he was mainly instrumental in procuring an . Act of Parliament for the improvement of the town , and neighbourhood. It - became necessary to pull down some buildings in the place, and that gave great offence to Mr. Peachey, who was a trustee of some property, part of which it was necessary to take for the purpose of the improvements. Mr. P. achey opposed the passing of the Act; but Mr. Clark having succeeded against Iris wishes, he (Mr. Peachey), had ever since din. , played feelings of personal hostility towards him.-- fhere was another circumstance to which Mr. . Clark's affidavit adverted. It appeared that Mr. Clark had obtained a license to sell wine at the former hotel, under which he considered himself at liberty to carry . • on the business of the hotel in the same way as most of the hotel keepers in London did. It however happened" on one occasion, that a peososeame to the In tel to,dina ner, and - after be had taken wine, he .desited to have .. - some ale. He was told that he could not be furnished with it at the hotel, but that it should be oloaired for him out of the house. This was done, and lie afterwards called for a glass of spirits, which was also procured for him ; but neither the ale nor the spirits was charged in . Mr. Clark's bill. The person, however, immediately. went and laid an information against Mr. Clark, and he was convicted by Mr. Peachey, in three penalties, r amounting together to 751. for selling ale and spirits • without a license.. Mr. Clat k remonstrated against the • I 'conviction, and told Mr. Peachey that there was not an betel keeper in London who would not every day be liable to a similar conviction. Mr. Peachey, howevir o refused to alter his decision, and told Mr. Clark not . to give him any of his Bow-street law." The Learned Counsel, after detailing some minor circumstances, said he hoped the Court would be of opinion that enough had been stated to show, that in refusing the 'license b Mr. Peachey had been influenced by personal motives. - such as ought not to be tolerated in a Magistrate;, and • that their Lordships would call upon him to, account fur his conduct, by granting'a rule to shot/'cause. • - Lord Tatmotozo.—Yon may take the tale. HABEAS C )RPUS—EX PARTE BAXTER. • t Mr. ARCHBOLD moved for a writ of habeas corpus, directed to the Governor of his Majesty's Gaol of Newga:e, to bring up the body of, a person of the name of Baxter, who had been committed to that gaol, under a warrant of certain Commissioners of Bankrupt. before whom he had been summoned to , give evidence as a witness. The object of the applica. rims was to have the individual brougto before the Court, in order _that he might be discharged out of custody, on the gasund that he had been improperly committed. The Learned Counsel stated, that Baxter had been com mitted by the Commissioners, because it was said the answers he had given at, his examination before Them were unsatisfactory. Mr. Archbold, was, however, at a loss to know what- the answers wtre which the commissioners , considered to be unsatidictory: The witness was twice examined before them. After. his first examination he was allowed to go at large. On his second examination it appeared that he had qualified - some of his anwers, and to the last question the had given an answer which the Commissioners consi dered objectionable. Mr. Archbold then read the questions and answers, and submitted thaesthe whole'of . the latter were unexceptionable except the last ; and he contended tha n the Commissioners hadoso right-to.qoes- • tiou the witness on the subject to whic4 . W bidliven that answer. The ,Commissioners had . inquired as to his belief of the intention of another person.notiviih standing he had previously stated that he had had no communication whatever with thait person. • Lord TANTERDEN.—Take the writ.
