Students attending Mr. Gutbrie's Evening Lectures on the Prin ciples, Practice, and Operations of Surgery, are entitled, of right, to the Lectures on the Diseases of the Eye. Mr.WA WIELD now contended that the neglect of the petitioner had been cured on his readmission to the late Master of the Rolls tLord Gifford), who had replaced the petitioner on the toll, he having made the usual affi davit, that during the year in question he had not prac- tised as a solicitor. The Learned Gentleman also that even if the petitioner had not been readmitted, he was empowered to sue for his costs, under the 6th Geo. IV. which enabled solicitors, after losing their places on the Rolls, to maintain actions for costs. FRENCH PAPERS. The Tloik of Sunday contains extracts from the Hydra Journal, which state that Ibrahim Pacha had made preparztioas indicatory of an intention to embark with the remains of his army and to return to Egypt. The chief reason assigned for this determination on his part, is the want of provisions and ammunition which he experienced on the theatre of his devastations. But the real cause was said to be an order from his father to come home on account of the serious disturbances which had broken out in various pans of Egypt, in conse quence of . the total annihilation of itsAralle. in k re port, however, appears hitherto entitletto-srery little credit, as all the previous accounts announced that far from recalling his son, the Pacha had sent another expedition to fill up his losses, and enable him to resume the offensive in the Peninsula. The Hydra Journal does not attempt to conceal the divisions which existed be- tween the Greek commanders, and which seem at all times to have formed one of the fatalities of Greece, for they were recorded by Homer three thousand years ago. It says on the contrary, that the Government was aware of them, and adopted every measure calculated to prevent their mischievobs effects. The Government had also done every thing in its power to prevent the six Spezziot brigs, mentioned in Commodore Hamilton's dispatch as having become pirates, from following a course so disgraceful and injurious to their country. But to all solicitations and threats, the answer of their Captains and crews was- 4, Give us food, or else we must provide for ourselves and turn pirates." The Authorities at Spezzia were so indignant at their con duct, that they supplied Commodore Hamilton them selves with a description of the vessels, in order that he' might send in search of them and capture them. The Etoik informs us, that on the 16th of October a' violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Catanzaro, in Calabria. Fortunately, however, it did no damage, which excited nearly as much surprise as joy. For Calabria may almost be called the 44 native soil of earth. quakes," no country having ever suffered' more fre quently or more deeply from the mysterious agitations of the earth. Mr. KNIGHT opposed the'petition, observing that the petitioner could not claim the ititerlerence of the Coort, he having committed a fraud to the amount of 124 the stamp duty of his certificate) on the revenue. It was further urged that the Act of Parliament could not apply to the petitioner's case, as it was passed subse quently. and was meant to have only a prospective effect. The Vimt CHANCIILLOR concurred in this latter view, and it was finally agreed, that on the.petitirmer's paying the costs of this application, anti also of, the former taxation of costs, he might lft at liberty to tile a peti tion, praying that the Master might be allowed to re view his report.

M. IVALLER CLIFTON. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, w ZSTMINSTRII, Nov. 13. PAbIITOW 11111r.-Iraft oi6 ANOTHER. P. SISIDALL. Mr. Sergeant WILDE moved for a new trial, or to en ter a nonsuit. It was an action for interruption of a right -of ferry, tried before Mr. Justice Gazelee, in Cornwall. The plaintiff and his lather had been twenty or thirty years in possession of the ferry boat from Blackrock to Padstow, in the county of ornwall. The defendant had infringed the plaintiff's right by taking over passengers. At the tt ial the Jury found a verdict for the plainff, subject to a point of law, upon which the Learned Sergeant now made his application to the Court. It was contended that the plaintiff had not that right of ferry which could enable him to support an action. The witnesses proved at the trial that the plain tiff had managed the ferry much to the Inconvenience of the public ; persons attending the mar ket at Pad3tow had been frequently ktpt waking for the ferry boat ; but the Learned' Sergeant relied chirfly on the want of claim to the right of, ferry, The Lord of the >Lim from whom the plaintiff. let ived his right, only possessed one side of the water. The opposite bank belonged to another Gentleman. It was necessary according to a case decided, and to be found in la Miner, page 208, that a party to possess a right of, terry must have the soil on both sides. The Lord who had the right of soil on one side, could not claim the right of landing on the other side, which did not belong to him. The Court granted a Rule to chew cause. THE KIXQ O. LRTOWICIL the defendant was brought up from Surrey gaol by Habeas Corpus, to be admitted to bail. The prisoner had been committed by W. Ballan.ine, Esq. one of the • Magistrates* for Surrey, on a charge of receiving a quantity of Wheat,- feloniously stolen from the barges and granary of a person named Ryland. After the depositions and affidavits had been read, the Court admitted the defendant to bail, himself in 41,000, and four sure. ties in 4250 each.

The crop of Cotton will be limited this year, and it is supposed that the whole will follow the direction that was taken by the cotton of last year, that is to say, that it will all be shipped for the Pacha's own account, by his Highness's two agents, as these persons have divided the Pacha's cotton store between them, and have fixed each a press there; and, in order to prevent any appli cation from purchasers, the Pacha will raise the cost price from 17 dollars per cantar to 18 dollars, and two thirds cf a dollar expenses, making 7d. and six-tenths per lb. while the price in Liverpool is at and under lid. per lb. The rate fixed will consequemly be prohibitory to English shipments. It is time that the serious attention of his Majesty's Government was called to the close and sordid mono• poly exercised by the Pacha over all the productions of 'the soil of Egypt, and to the constantly declining state of the British trade in this country, in consequence there of. The sale for all articles, the produce of British in dustry, is now very limited, and goes on decreasing, from thecircumstance of there being no staple article that can be procured as returns. It is ridiculous to suppose that the stipulations made with the Sultan at Constantinople, furnish any rule or security for the regulation of our trade with this coun try. The Pacha adopts just as much or as little of them as suits his purpo,e, and any other stipulations that might be sought for at the Sublime Porte, would be equally thwarted by the doubtful allegiance of the pre sent Governor of Egypt. The stipulations do teally guarantee a free trade with all parts of the Ottoman Empire, but in Egypt, British merchants cannot, as they affirm, exercise the privilege to 44 buy, sell, and trade with the sacred dominions, and load and•transf ort in their ships every kind of merchan t:l.e, at their own pleasure, without experiencing any the least obstacle or hindrance;" for every commodity that the country produces is forestalled by the Pacha, who either refuses to resell at all, or, as we have shewn, fixes such an arbitrary high p, ice as operates in the way of an enormous duty, and effectually prevents the pos sibility cf purchasing. When a I remonstrance is male to this forestalling, the friends of the Pacha step forward and urge his Highness's title to the whole lands of the country, with as much confidence as if he had Acquired them by a legal transfer from the' proprietors, or bad received then by inheritance; but it is well known that thetitles of the dispossesses' proprietors we not vitiated by his Highness's violent seizure them. M. Mengen, some nine French agent in this country, and now receiving a salary ti our the Pacha, who has written a pretty favourable History of his Highness's Government, gives us an account of his Highness's first introduction to the farming business. The Pacha had taxed the Copts in 7,000 purses, " and not content with this fiscal measure, he, on the 27th of March, 1810, as sembled all the Cachefs of provinces, with whom he conferred during several days. After he had furnished himself with every necessary information respecting.the state of the country, he imposed upon the villages an extraordinary.duty of from 10 to 20 purses. This im post was so oppressive to the Fellahs, that having in vain had resource to their masters, numbers of them found themselves forced to expatriate. The proprietors pre sented their remonstrances against the measure—they were required to exhibit their title deeds to be verified. The most credulous deposited them ; and, under dif ferent pretexts, they were locked up in the archives. The greater part of the proprietors were thus dispos• seised ; - those only who had powerful protectors, -re ceived a moiety of their revenues from the Customs, and Appaltos (Farms) ; the others were refused auy indem nity:'—(Page 344-5., Vol. I.) . Then we have the invasion of the Church property. " - On" thruther haneirthe-fsaie4.lke imposed xotaxxibu-' tions De the Aloukzelians ; those nho were not in a con dition to pay, were obliged to send in their titles to their: villages to the Deftardar"—(Page 374, Vol. I.)—and,f , lastly, we have the consummation of all his Highness's rights, by the dispossession of those who did not hap pen to submit their title deeds to his Highness's exami nation. " While these things were passing in Arabia, l the Kaiya Bey at Cairo executed the orders of the Vice- I roy. The Ist of February, 1814, he possessed himself of all the landed property belonging to individuals to whom be promised. revenues upon the. Treasury. The Sheiks coming to complain of the inconvenience of this measure, which deprived of their property a great num ber of poor families, who posiessed small portions of land, the Kaiya Bey answered, that such were the orders of his . Princt, and that he could not revoke them."— (Page 13, Vol. H.) The Pacha's attack upon commerce have been no less summary than decisive. At an early period we hear of his possessing himself of the whole merchandize brought by a caravan, and lodged in the magazines at Cairo, and only released them upon the payment of 1,000 purses..-(Page 193, Vol. L) - From such beginnings, the Pacha has established a " cosi detto" commercial system, the like of which has not existed since the days of Pygmalion.* The poverty and abasement of a people, suffering under a system which is-not founded upon any regard to their welfare, or their feelings, but which merely pro poses to pass the whole property of the country through his Highness's coffers, need not be insisted upon. It is only surprising that there should be any such delusion upon this subject as that under which I observe some persons labour. The reports of all travellers are, upon this subject, unanimous. That the Pacha has reduced the country- to an order and obedience never before known, under Turkish dominion, is very true; and so also has he brought about a forced cultivation of some of the lands; but the circulation of all articles, and, consequently, the industry of the country, has been stop ped, and the condition of the people is anything but im proved, either in respect of intellect, or of personal com fort. The land marks of property, which are iecog- , nized in all laws, have been daringly trodden down,J and a sort of " brick-making without straw," is the task-work of the miserable and degraded . Egyptian. Here our compassion only is excited ; but, on the other hand, our patience is tried by the unceremonious, and, indeed, contemptuous manner, in which the Pacha has trampled upon existing treaties, as they regard commerce. He acts as if he were not a party to, nor had any right to, respect them. The time may not be distant when his Highness may openly declare this principle, and shake off his dependence upon the Sul tan ; and it is to be hoped, that his Majesty's Ministers, when called upon to accept Egyptian capitulations, will not overlook commercial matters—for the question, if put at issue at the present moment, would be, whether British interests are to be entirely withdrawn from the country, and British capital and industry to be excluded from all participation in the commerce of Egypt? • As he is represented in Telemachus. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Novemas 13. THE HIGHGATE CHARITY.-JUDGMENT. THR ATTOINET•OENRYL N. LORD MANATILLD AND OTHERS. The Loan CHANCELLOR this morning gave judg ment in the above cause. After having gone through the whole case as stated before the Court, his Lordship said, he was quite clear, that the inhabitants could not call upon the Governors to enlarge the Chapel. It was, no doubt, a very desirable thing that something or other should be done, but all the Court could do was, to en force the Trusts. Upon all the points, his Lordship was clearly of opinion, and if that opinion was wrong, he should regret it; but hecould only say he had taken a great deal of pains with it, and his judgment was, that this was a Trust for the support of a Free Grammar School, and that the Court could do nothing but en force that Trust; that the Wardens and Governors, as Trustees of this Charity, were under no obligation to enlarge the Chapel; and in deciding these two points, it was theintention of the Court to conclude for to-day. His Lordship then gave the parties a week to consider the ob servations le had thrown out. wottastarr A sin DUKE or MUM% On the conclusion of his Lordship's judgment in the case of the ‘ 8 Attorney-General v.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 13. • iIityNOLDS ussies. - This was a petition on the part of a Solicitor of the Court, who wished to except to the Master's repoft.— The petitioner, Mr. Reynolds, having, in int gotieto Ireland; neglected to take out his certificate; he, how ever, took it out malady every subsequent year, and having, in his capacity of Solicitor, conducted a east, This was an action of assumpsit, at the plaintiff's in stance, for the payment of the price of cattle sold Joy bins to J. Mansfield, agent for the defendant. The verdict was found for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant WILDE now moved for a rule to slew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial granted. He apprehended the question was, whe ther the cattle were sold on the credit of Mansfi:ld him self, or on that of his master? There was no evidence that the plaintiff knew at the time that Mansfield wis acting for the defendant, but it turned out afterwards that some of the cattle had come into his hands. He (Mr. S. %%runic) therefore contended that he must be held liable for 'their price., The Lora Cans JUSTICE, upon turning to his notes, found that the defendant had never authorised Mans field to purchase goods for him on credit, having always supplied him with cash to pay ready money. It further appeared from Mansfield's evidence, that lie had purchased some of the cattle for himself, and retie of them for his master. His Lordship, therefore, re fused the rule. • imam V. CORAL This action was founded on an alleged fraud prac tised by the defendant, who acted as agent for Messrs. Goldsmiths and Co. merchants, on the latter.' The plaintiff was a labouring man, employed by the defen dant in loading vessels with Messrs. Goldsmith and Company's goods, at four shillings per day. By some means it came to his knowledge that the defendant charged Messrs. Goldsmith and Company much more than be actually paid to the plaintiff, in consequence of which he thought proper to raise the present action for the balance, although he was fully paid the wages agreed upon. One of the partners of Goldsmith and Company was called, and deposed that they never ex pected that the defendant would charge him with only what they paid their labourers; they only expected them to charge as agent. Notwithstanding this, how ever, the Jury found a verdict' for the plaintiff, not indeed for the whole he claimed, but for only 131. Mr. Sergeant Wass trusted that it was unnecessary fiir him to ttate any argument, at he was sure their Lordships would at once grant a rule to skew cause on the bare statetneut of facts.—Rick granted. A letter from Lisbon,. tinder date of the 21st of Oe. tober, gives the most flattering account of the present Secretary of State for the War Department, Major General John Carlos de Saldanha, a descendant of the famous Marrhal Dann, and brother of the Marquis of Campo M rivo, who has offered his services, and actually gone in command of a small force to quell an insturse don in Algarve.
