GLASGOW, /mit. S. boring the last and present week no cases of entbakinsstnent have i•cune before the public. Severai respectable houses, however, have privately effected arrangements for the liquidation of their debts by instalments. It is also known that alarge amount of bills, past due, are lying over in the banks, with the understanding that they shall be returned on the receipt of eipected remittances. On th e w hole, the pressure for money is scarcely less severe than in February. There is the very important difference, however already adverted to, that no t~ no person need tall a meeting of his Creditors who can give an assurance of his ability ultimately to pay in full. The banks readily receive instalment bills in lieu Or those falling due, taking, when they can get than additional indorsatims. During the whole of ,Sunday night and Monday forenoon it blew a strong gale from W.S.W. to N.W. accompanied with heavy showers. TnE GENERAL ELECTION. We are evidently on the eve of a general Election. Preparations Yor that event are pretty common throughout the country; and seve ial sharp contests are anticipated for the honour of possessing a seat in the renowned Chapel of St. Stephen. Whilst, however, the " note of preparation" may be heard in most parts of the United Kingdom, it is a singular circumstance, that, in Liverpool, the subject of the ap proaching Election is scarcely ever mentioned, even in political com panies. The cause we take to be, the satisfaction of the majority of the freemen with the present representatives of the borough in Parlia ment. There is not, we verily believe, a man in the town who would offer the slightest opposition to the return of Mr. Husitsson. The career of the Right Hon. Gentleman has been so brilliant, his services to the commercial world have been so beneficial, and Liverpool will so largely benefit ►y the principles of free trade which he has so eloquently advocated and enforced in Parliament, that he has not an opponent, much less an enemy, in this great and populous community. Mr. HUSICISSON, like Clasan, has only to come, to see, sad to conquer.—Liecrpsel Able*. • It has been reported at Dover, that Joseph Butterworth, Esq. one of the present Representatives, would not offer himself again at the ensuing Election, but we understand he has very recently signi fied his intention of coming forward to enter the lists with the other Candidates. It is strongly rumoured that Robert Campbell, Esq. an East India Director, will offer himself for the Representation of Dover, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament.—Jfaidstene Journal.

PREROGATIVE COURT, APRIL 12. DEW V. CLARKE. This case was finally decided this day. The par-, ticulars have been repeatedly laid before our readers during the hearing of the cause. 'l he question turned on the sanity or insanity, in a pat tial degree, of the late Dr. Stott, of Hart•street, Bloomsbury, at the time of mak:rig his will; and also an insane aversion towards his daughter, the claimant, from her birth to his decease. Sir JOHN NICHOLL, in giving judgment, first took a general view of the provisions of the will of the de. ceased. He then observed that it was a case of con siderable difficulty, and required to be examined with the greatest care and caution. The question turned on the validity of a will, which ought not to be shaken, unless the Court was morally convinced that the person was of unsound mind at the time of making it. Eccen tricity of character would be of no avail, neither must the Court indulge in any feelings of commisera tion for a child whom her father may have treated with unkindness and severity, in the decision of the case.— The point he had to decide was, whether the deceased was of unsound mind. or not ? and to that he must direct his attention. The first point for his consideration was the ascertaining and fixing what is the criterion and test of unsoundness of mind—where eccentricity ends, and where derangement and insanity commence. The Learned Judge then quoted the doctrine of Drs. Batty and Willis, and also Locke,. Coke, and Hale, where it is laid down by those writers, that an insane delusion may exist in the human mind on one particular subject, while it be quite sane on all others. He entered at large into the long and voluminous evidence, commenting on It as he went along, and contrasting the evidence of both parties—he unavoidably came to the conclusion, tbat the evidence which went to show the partial insanity and insane aversion of the late Dr. Stott towards his daughter preponderated in a great degree. The Learned Judge. alter occupying the whole of the day, pro nounced the will of the deceased to be null and void, and the late Dr. Stott, in law, to have died intestate. The ttial of the Stickpoole cause was resumed at Paris I efore the Third Chamber on Wednesday. M. Lamaism. the King's Advocate, addressing the Court, observed, that doqhless this would be the final episode of a suit which had now listed more than half centuey, occupying the interest of both France and England, and which had been conducted in both coun tries with surpassing eloquence and learning. After re• •iewing the facts on which Mr. D. Coo Put founded his claim, the ADVOCATI GesießAL said the question was, had Mr. D. comma a Clain] to the full sum of 250,000 f. for damages? He was of opinion that he had not a claim to that amount, and that the sum ought to be re duced. The objection to Mr. D. Coma's claim being declared valid, as regarded the full amount, there ge mmed only to ascertfin, by the decision of the Court, the &maim which it might apportion as being justly due se Mr. D. Cortege. Thermal decision of the cause was deferred till some day in the preseat week. • faAW REPORT. • • COURT OF CHANCERY, Arait, 12. This being the first day of Easter Tenn, the Limo blAi- CILIAR, the other Judges, and the principal law officers atientbled in Lincoln'a.inn.hall, with the customary formalities. At about one cielock the Loan Cumscu.t.on took his seat on the Bench. His Loapspie stated, that he should not be able to give judgment in the cases of " Wellesley v. the Duke of Beaufort," and" Es•parte Grimstead," until Tuesday morning. Nothing interesting took place before the rising of the Court. VICE•CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 12. COLLINS V. MARTIN. Mr. SHADWILL moved for an injunction to restrain the defendant from publiAing engravings from two paintings which he had sold to plaintiff for 5001. The subjects were Belshazzar's Feast and Joshua commlnding' Me Sun to stand sti I; and when disposing of the pic tures, Mr. Martin stipulated that he would publish no engravings from them whilst they remained in the plaintiff's possession. Mr. Haar and Mr. &anima resisted the motion on behalf of Mr. Martin, whose affidavit stated that the engravings which he was about to publish were not taken from the paintings in question, but from etchings which he had previously made, and to which he made some additions from his imagination. _ _ The Vicr.Cnancit.Lon said; that since the engravings had not been made from the paintings sold to Mr. Collin+, but from etch lop is which that Gentleman had no property, be felt himself bound to refuse the injunction. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WIVIIIINITZR APRIL 12. This was the first day of Easter Term, Mr. Justice HOLUM' D sat in the bail Court till half-past one o'clok, when the Judges took their seats in the usual place. APPLICATION TO If ADMITTED TO BAIL. Mr. TINDAL applied to the Court that Wm. Wake field, who had been committed to Lancaster Castle, charged with aiding and assisting in the recent abduc tion of Miss Turner, might be admitted to bail. The prisoner now appeared in Court, having been brought ,up by writ of habeas corpus, in the custody of Mr. Hig gins, the gaoler of Lancaster Castle. The depositions of Miss Turner, as well as those of her father, and of Miss Dolby, of Lim pool, were read, reciting the facts which have been already before the public. The young Lady awed, that having been in veigled from the protection of Miss Dolby, Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield, with the assistance of his brother William Wakefield, and Thevenot, the servant, suc ceeded in enticing her along with them, by constant promises of her meeting her father at each new stage which they reached. At Kendal, Mr. Wakefield.un deceived her with regard to tie supposed illness of her mother, and he then assured her, and frequently after wards repeated, that such was the desperate state of her father's affairs, that he could not hope to retrieve his fortune, or to appease the hostility of his (Wakefield's) uncle, whom he represented as Mr. Tartlet's principal creditor, by any other means than by a union between his daughter and him (Edward Wakefield). Miss Tur ner's deposition concluded with a positive declaration that she would never have acquiesced in the ceremony which was performed at Gretna, had she not been per suaded that such was her father's desire, and that it was the only means of preserving her family from ruin. The Learned Counsel, on behalf of Mr. Wakefield, submitted, that as no force had been used, the offence did not come within the statute; the only two statutes under which the case was comprehen.sed were the 3d Henry VII. c. 2, against forcible abduction and after wards marrying, and the 4th and sth Philip and Mary, c. 8, against fraudulently taking away and marrying. In Fullwood's case, Croke Charles, 485, force was found in one county, and a voluntary consent in the next, and it was therefore held not to be a continuing force; and in the case of the Gordon' taking away a Lady of the name of Lee, the moment a consent was found to have taken place, the prosecution was stopped. Mr. Justice Barimr—But in the case of the King v. Brown, where the woman consented, the prisoner was convicted and executed. She had quitted home, not knowing what was in tended, and afterwards married him. Mr. Tumaa.—l believe, my Lord, there was a force in takiqe her away. A confederate of the prisoner inveigled Lucy Ramsay into a coach in the Park ; the prisoner then got in, detained her, and took her to his lodgings in the Strand, and persuaded her the next morning to marry him; immediately after which he was ap prehended. And in the case of the King e-Swainson, State Trials, 1702, tried at the bar of this Court, the evidence of Miss Rawlins, the Lady who had been carried away by force, was, that she was at the time acting under the impulse of terror. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, for the prosecution, con• tended, that Miss Turner, having been carried away by means of fraud, it was quite sufficient to bring the case within the statute. In cases of burglary, where proof of forcible entry was required, if the entry was obtained by fraud, it was considered a constructive force; and so, by analogy, in the present case. How could her conduct be arts ibuted to anything else,when, by creating in her mind an erroneous impression, she was induced to do that which, under any other circumstances, she would.not have done? The Loan Caner Josstce•-.Supposing this to be a felony, Mr. Attorney General,is h a capital offence? The Arroimay •Gansaat.—No, my Lord ; by the Ist Geo. IV. e. 115, the capital part, as far as relates to this kingdom, is repealed, and the punishment altered to transportation for life or seven years, at the discretion of the Court. Mr. Justice BAT Lay—Have ypu any case where the marriage has taken place subsequently out of the kingdom ? The Arronwer Ginataat.—No, my Lord; taking away for mar riage is the offence. He writes a letter in England stating her to be his wife ; but the marriage takes place over the border ; and I submit that a question of such great moment should not be dia pered of in a summary way. The Loan Cum Jusricx —As this is a case of considerable im portance, the Court will take time to consider of it. Let the pri soner continue in the same custody, and probably to-morrow morning the Court will be prepared to decide on this application. This morning Mr. Wakefield was again brought up before the Judges of the Court of King's Bench, and was admitted to bail by giving two sureties of 10001. each. Friday morning a fire took place in Hope -street, Bowling.lane, Bradford, in a house occupied by Samuel Crabtree, a shoemaker. The family had retried to rest, when, about half-past twelve o'clock, Mrs. Crabtree was awoke by a smell of burning, and found herself nearly suffocated. She immediately alarmed her husband, and said she thought there was a tire in the neighbourhood.' Thus roused, he rushed down stairs, and forced open the dlor. The house was literally one volume of smoke, though no flame as yet appeared. With the greatest difficulty lie rescued his children; the hair of their heads was singed in bed, but one of his daughters, about 19, remained to put on her clothes. S!le twice attempted to descend the staircase, but found it impossible, and in the distraction of tire moment, nearly suffocred, she threw herself from the window. The injury sire has sustained is considerable. All the furniture, with the exception of two beds in a small room adjoining, the door of which was shut, is completely destroyed ; and the poor man from being in coinfor table eircurnstsnces is thus at once plunged iota ruin. Tne firewireines rived in about a quarter of an hoer after the alarm was )3,1 , cn, and that flames were completely extinguished. • dLD BAILEY—THIS DAY. . The Court did not* u.ntil ten o'clock this morning. wl.en the liecoeogh took his seat oh' tSißench, and 23 males and 14 females were discharged by proclamation. Abraham Hollings and 7 homers Braphaw, who stood indicted for conspiracy, were put ro the her. The pri soner Hollings had been in custody, and Brayshaw sur rendered this morning. The Jury having been charged, the prosecutor, John 13 oth, was called , but he did not answer, and the REC •RDER directed the Jury to acquit them both. John Callaghan was put to the bar, on an • iniictment charging him with feloniously uttering, as true, certain pieces of base coin, well knowing them to he forged and counterfeited. Ann Percival, of No. 44, Houndsditch, sworn, stated that on the 18th of March the prisoner ten feted to her , a base piece of money, purportinv to be a shilling, and went away ; he returned some time after, and tendered another, which was refused. ' Mr. J .hn Compton, also resident in Houadsditch, also proved the prisoner to have passed a bal shilling to him, and his also returning, between one and two o'clock. •In the mean time, Mrs. Percival had informed witness of the conduct of the prisoner, who was secured. Forrest, the officer, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and receiving a had half.crown and two shillings, which the prisoner had disposed of. Mr. - Johnson, a Gentleman who happened to he at the hosts* of Mr. Compton, proved to the same effect as that Gentleman. Mr. Field, of the Mint, proved each of the pieces of coin to be counterfeit. The Recount& summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoner Guilty. • HIS LORDSHIP immediately ordered him up for judgment, and sentenced him to be imprisoned for one year and to be kept to hard labour; the Act of Parliament not allowing any farther period. Mr. BORLAND intimated, that the prisoner bad been three times before convicted of similar offences. The RECORDED said, he wished it to be intimated to the Mint, that the Court considered it imperative on them to proceed capitally in such cases. John Edward liakleyealias John Edwards, aged 19, was put to the bar, on an indictment charging him with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling. house of Mary Charles of Cox court, Whitecross-street, on the 4th of March last, and stealing therein a quantity of linen and wearing apparel, her property. Tbe prosecutrix.stated, that on the evening in ques tion she left her residence, which contained a very large quantity of linen, some wet and some dry, about eight o'clock in the evening, and was absent about an hour, when she returned and found nearly the whole, with every moveable article, had been stolen. Bradford, the officer, stated that on the evening in question he met the prisoner with the property, and secured him. On being taken to the watch-house, he said he had been employed by a person whom he did not know, to carry the bundle to the sign of the Merry Carpenters, in Old street, and on being called on for . his defence, he repeated the same story. The Common Sitanwer summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoner Guilty—Death. • Yesterday, William Hubbard stood indicted for the wilful murder of David Garrett. Francis Groom stated, that on the 4th instant he saw the prisoner an d the deceased in the Kensington road; they were each driving a.cart ; the prisoner was fore most, and the deceased was trying to get by him. A dispute arose, and they whipped each other until their whips became entangled, when the deceased fell from his cart, and the wheel went over him, which caused his dew h. William Goddard confi.med the above statement. and added, that the prisoner after wards trotted of. Witness was in his chaise, and trotted after and over took him near B leer's floor-cloth manufactory. Witnesses were called for the prisoner, and were about to be examined, when Mr. Justice ?ASK suggested that there was no evidence that the deceased's name was David Garrett, and in consequence be directed au acquittal. The Learned JUDGE then warned the prisoner as to his future conduct, and told him, that if a conviction of manslaughter even had taken place, he should have passed sentence of transportation on him. Susan Jamieson was indicted for inveigling a simple fellow into Love Arbour Court, and robbing him of Ur. For better security she placed 6s. in her bosom, where they remained snug enough from all observation, but putting the other xis in her mouth, her " woman's tongue" blabbed the silver secret in an unutterable manner. The sequel of the story, for the honour of both parties, had better remain " unknown to fame." The Jury showed their gallantry by acquitting Susan, who testi fied her high sense of their verdict by lustily claiming her own in.. The prosecutor was also a rival in this Skit, and demanded the money as his property. " Your property !" aid the contemptuous Susan, " Why my Lord and the Jury know that the money is not your's but mine, as my innocence shows." Susan got the money, and went away weeping for joy and M inis. at her good luck. . William Jones, aged 20, cabinet-maker, stood capi tally indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of the Hon. Henry Wm. Stanhope, and stealing two pair of gold eat...rings, a garnet cross, and several other articles of jewellery, and a large quantity of wearing apparel, in the whole value more than 1001. his property. Charlotte Groves stated that she was in the employ of the prosecutor, who lives in Hans-place, Chelsea, on the evening of the Bth of March. She had occasion to go up to the second floor, and heard footsteps in the garret, as if persons were passing from one room to another ; she went dowh stairs to another servant in the parlour, they went into the street and called the watch. The nest house was an empty house ; they observed that the door was open, a man came out and ran off, he was pursued and taken. The witness had seen pan of the property in the course of the day, and described the par ticulars of it: it a as packed up ready for taking away. Several other witnesses corroborated this evidence. The Hon. Mr. Stanhope.—The ornaments stolen he had seen the day bef4e. They were left in Indian boxes on the toilet table, Mrs. Stanhope having them in use. None of the jewels have been found. Two necklaces were worth 201. two pair of ear-rings were worth 151. These, as well as a garnet cross, two pair of bracelets, and two breast-pins, were all undervalued. Tim prisoner, in his defence, said he was iturocent of the robbery. A number of respectable persons, who had known the prisoner nearly the whole of his life, gave him a good character. 'Fite Recounts went through the whole of the evidence, com menting on the prominent parts of the case. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death. Yesterday Prince EtiTIMMAZY, the Austrian Ambas sador, transacted business at the Foreign Office.. " VIVIAN GREY," which is shortly expected to appear, is understood to be a work of a very extraordinary kind.

After the races this afternoon, the betting Gentlemen assembled in great numbers on the Exercise-ground, when, and durin g t e evening in the town, speculations to a larg e amo u nt were enter , into on all the stakes. The odds, it will be perceived, have expe rienced a very material variation, as might have been expected front the result of the two day's running. The Monarch has resumed his former station in the list of favourites, the superiority of Panic being but short-lived ; he is now at even with The Moslem, who has not been backed so freely as we anticipated. Advance Liked in the course of the evening 18 to 3,,being the outside of the odds that could be obtained when our account left. Bolivar was brought up from the very extremity of the outriders, in consequence of win ning the sweepstakes yesterday ; he was backed pretty freely, and left of a good and a rising favourite; it is very doubtful, however, whether he will continue so long. Notwithstanding he lost his second race yesterday, Advance has still hie friends, and it is far from unlikely that be will again become a prominent favourite. For the Oaks the alterations are not so material. Rachel was for a very short period first favourite, but she speedily relapsed into her ori ginal place in the odds. Henries, of course, went into the rear.— The betting was animated on the St. Leger, but the only change of consequence was the making Calypso thiod favourite, the result of his winning the Breakfast Stakes this afternoon. This, coupled with his reported successful trial with Crusader, induces many to prog nosticate a still greater decline in the odds against him. He is christened The Dragon.
