At the Court at Windsor, the 7th day of April, 1830; present, the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. Whereas by a certain Act of Parliament passed in the sixth year of the reign of his present Majesty, entitled "An Act to regulate the trade of the British possessions abroad," after reciting that "by the law of ea .:,,ttion foreign ships are permitted to import into any c.l the British possessions abroad, from die countries to which *hey belong, goods, the produce of those countries, and to export goods tiont such possessions to be carried to any foreign country whatever, and that it is expedient that such permission should be subject to certain conditions," it Is enacted, '• that the privileges thereby granted to foreign ships shall be limited to the ships of these countries which, having colonial possessions, shall grant the irk: privileges of trading with those possessions to British ships, or which, not having colonial possessions, shall place the commerce and navigation, of this country, and of its possessions abroad, upon the footing of the most favoured nation, unless His Majesty, by his order in Council, shall in any case deem it expedient to grant the whole or any of such privileges to the ships of any foreign country, although the conditions aforesaid shall not in all respects be fulfilled by such foreign country." Ald whereas by an act passed in the seventh and eighth years of his present Majesty's reign, entitled "An Act to amend the laws -el sting to the Customs," it is, among other things, enacted, that no foreign country shall be deemed to have fulfilled the conditions so prescribed as aforesaid, in and by the said act so passed in the said sixth year of his Majesty's reign, as to be entitled to the privileges therein mentioned, unless such foreign country bad in all respects fulfilled those conditions within twelve months next after the passing of the said act,—that is to say, on or before the Ilth day of July, 1826 ; and for the better ascertaining what particular foreign coun tries are permitted by law to exercise and enjoy the said privileges, it is thereby further enacted, that no foreign country shall be deemed to have fulfilled the before-mentioned conditions, or to be entitled the privileges aforesaid, unless and until his Majesty shall, by winte order or orders to be by him made, by the advice of his Privy Council, have declared that such foreign country bath so fulfilled the said corditions, and is entitled to the said privileges ; provided al. nays, and it is thereby declared and enacted, that nothing therein :ontained extends, or shall be construed to extend, to make void or annul any order or orders in Council theretofore issued, under the authority or in pursuance of the said recited act of the sixth year of his Majesty's reign, or to take sway or abridge the powers vested in his Majesty in and by the said act, or any of those powers, any +ping therein contained to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding.

NEW SYNAGOGUE, LEADENHALL-STREET. On Saturday, the 26th of March, 1830, was exhibited ai the New Synagogue, in Leadenhall-street, the Five Books of Noses, beautifully written on parchment, and which are coin. a only deposited in the Ark. The reason we particularly notice this extraordinary copy of Holy Writ is, to show the extent to vhich some men of the Hebrew nation carry their admiration and lure for the Laws of GOD. This specimen of the art, with all its appendages, is allowed to be unequalled, and the attempt todescribe it will fall far short of its beauty and magnificence. For taste, chasteness of workmanship, and brilliancy of display, and the tout nienike, it may be truly said, there does not exist its equal in the tini,!ersc. This beautiful relic is written upon vellum prepared for the pur you% and which is sewn on rollers at each end ; these rollers are of sJlid gold (old standard), the caps are about four inches wide, the etl i va beautifully chased, and, when rolled together, are bound by a ,load silk band, edged with gold, and tied with gold cord and tas rls The whole is covered with a purple velvet mantle or pall, elegantly and richly embroidered in flowers of gold, raised upon he velvet, representing the rose, shamrock, and thistle, with fas tness, the top of the mantle representing a diadem; the edge is marounele , l with large geld bullion fringe; on the tops of the toilers are two pivots, about four inches in length, which re evive what are called the bells, made of fine gold, which stand ant; the sockets fixing on the pivots, represent the two tables of Musts with the Ten Commandments. The body of these ikli+ is s menet, beautifully worked ; the border is studded with brilliatm,tmeralds, rubies, and other precious stones; above the' eatoi.et h a mitre, supported by angels, on the top of which (eh lewd in Hebrew characters, " Holiness to the Loan") rest the cushion, and crown, surmounted by a pineapple richly awed ;00l worked curiously in gold; the whole is surrounded by a ::n.nbet oi small Lens, which continually tinkle as moved. On the ;font is suspended by a massive gold chain the ephod or breast t.i.ee. curiously welled in feeler, and relieved in bright gold; in the yen:friar: twelve precious stones of immense value (which rept& s.mt :he twelve tribes of Israel); the plate is surmounted by s large crown, on the :op of which is the mound, exquisitely ornamented sith emeralds anti rubies of beautiful colour. The crown is also 4:reeed with j ewe l s o f great va l ue a: A brilliancy ; the front stone is a tine watt' , brilliant of large size and great value. There is also sus pended by a gold chain the pointer with which the law is read. This jewel is about twelve inches !ong and is of the finest gold; at one end is a globe richly worked, rend the other represents a hand, with the forefinger in a pointi.g direction, and round the finger is a brilliant ring; the whole length of this jewel is entwined by the rose, shamrock, and thistle. chased and beautifully executed. Such is bat a faint description of this inimitable relic, which was bequeathed by M. L. Levy, Esq. (lately deceased), to his eldest Km, J. M. Levy, Esq. whose marriage was soleannised some few days since, on which occasion it was brought to the synagogue to be consecrated. The whole has since been put up in morocco eases, lined with white satin and purple velvet, and fitted In a large oak chest, and has been deposited hr the Bank of England. REIDUCI lONS.--It is understood that reductions to a vet, considerable extent will be shortly made in the civil depart. fi.ent of Dublir.

Notwith s t an di ng the length of the present Adjourn "rh, it is reported that when Parliament meets the Chancellor of - "e Exchequer is to move an Adjournment of the Commons for 'nether fortnight, while the House of Lords proceeds with hs arrear. It 18 to be hoped that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests will lose u little time as possible in widening and throwing 'Tea die carriage -way pavement in the Strand; the want of which much felt eastward of Southampton-street. In parts of Spain and Portugal, as well as France, the iine wines of various districts are of little value, bemuse they cannot he brought to proper markets, owing to the badness of the roads, and ,he distance as well as expense of conveyance.

A Bill has been introduce7l intituled " An Act for the better Regulation of Parochial Registers in Scotland, and for the general recording of such Registrations in the Office of the Lord Clerk Register in Edinburgh." Its preamble sets forth, that " Whereas it is expedient that a uniform system of general parochial registration of marriages, births, and deaths, in Scot, should be established ; be it therefore enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that immediately after the passing of this Act, the Kirk Session of each and every parish in Scotland shall be bound and obliged to keep up and maintain in all times there. alter three separate and distinct Registers or Books of Record, wherein shall be entered and inserted respectively all the marriages, births, and burials, that shall take place in the said parishes." It then contains clauses providing that the duty of keeping the Registers to devolve on Session clerk ; without prejudice to war dens and baillies of burying-grounds in Royal burghs, &c. who may keep the Registers of burials. That the Session clerk do enter names of persona applying to have banns of marriage published, and issue certificate of Proclamation to parties requiring the same. That officiating Minister to subjoin to the certificate an attesta tion of the marriage, and to be transmitted to the clerk for regis tration. That parents to register the dates of birth, and present certificate thereof to the Minister before baptism. That no grave be dug until certificate of registration of death and disease is granted according to Schedule. That ever page of the Record be signed by the clerk; and a meeting of kirk Session to be held annually to make up the Record. That at a meeting of Kirk Session in February, the Records to be collated and forwarded to Lord Clerk Register. And to take effect from lst January, 1891. The Middlesex Sessions commenced yesterday morn ing at Clerkenwell. John Lacy, a serjeant in the new pollee, was found guilty of assaulting two respectable tradesmen, named Duncan and Grant. The Court, after strongly censuring the conduct of the defendant, sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months.-- John Anderson, a patrol of the parish of Shored:telt, was also found guilty of assaulting Sarah Simpson, and sentenced to six months imprisonment. At Guildhall, yesterday, a man named Jamcs Boulton, was charged with having deserted his wife, and left her chargeable to the parish of Cripplegate. This was the third time he had left his wife and two children, and for the space of six months he had not supplied them with either food or money to pur chase it. He offered to pay ss. weekly in future towards repaying the parish the money which had been advanced to his family, but his word could not be depended upon, and he had no security to offer. He was committed for three months. It is not, perhaps, generally known that the Royal Menagerie, in the Tower of London, has been, for the last six hun dred years, a Repository for Wild Beasts and Birds, as presents to the Kings of England ; and since its foundation it has never been known to contain within its walls so rare and numerous a collection as at present, viz. r eight Lions, three Royal Tigers, five Leopards, three Tiger Cats, four Hyenas, one Panther, four Bears, three Bloodhounds, two Jackal's, one Porcupine, two Nylghans, one • Seal, two Kangaroos, one Zebra, one Elk, four Einem, two Crown Cranes, one Pelican, and upwards of one hundred specimens ut Birds, Monkeys, &c. THE COURT OF CONSCIENCE.—Of the usefulness of this court the inhabitants of Newcastle have had ample ex The extent to which recourse is had to it may be y con ceived when we state that at its monthly sitting on Wednesday last between four and five hundred suits were disposed of. But great as is the accommodation thus affirded to the community for reco vering small debts, it is much to be regretted that its jurisdiction should be limited to sums under forty shillings. The corporation of Newcastle would confer a most important benefit on the town if they would obtain a legislative enactment empowering persons to sue in the Court of Conscience for debts to the amount of Zb.— The advantage of such a power as this, vested in the different Courts of Requests in London, is much felt by the shopkeepas of the metropolis. The want of the means of proceeding in this way at a trifling, indeed almost nominal expence, for sums between two and five pounds, is we know a source of great loss to tradesmen. The coat of a suit in the ordinary mode is so great, that many worthy, honest men, think it better to submit to be defrauded out of what justly belongs to them. than to have recourse to legal proceedings, which may happen by their issue to deprive them of tour or five times the amount of their demand.— Lawyers of every class, of course, are opposed to any law reforms which threaten to lessen their profits, but the community at large are deeply interested in obtaining an easy, summary, and cheap method of recovering the payment of their debts, and should never rest till they accomplish it.— Tyne Mercury. DREADFUL PROFLIOACY.—A complete nest of thieves, of both sexes, has been broken into by the police officers of Gateshead, and six of them have been taken into custody. Three others have unluckily escaped fur the present. Two of them are young, expert, daring London thieves, and it is almost incredible the number of robberies they have committed within the last three weeks. Their plan was, to enter dwelling houses for the purpose of begging, and then to steal any thing within their reach. The lads stole, and the girls received the articles when stolen, and passed them from hand to hand to avoid detection. They have stolen six watches privately from dwelling houses; besides which there is reason to believe they entered into Mr. NVilliansson's, at Whkkharn ; Mr. Banes* Farnsaes ; Mr. Atkinson's, Can Hill; Mr. Park's, Gateshead, where they stole a great coat and umbrella ; 31ra. lito kel's, Mr. Bulman's, Mr. Bell's, Mrs. Byre's, and several other dwelling houses, stealing articles of wearing apparel from each. The parties committed to gaol are, James Roseman, a lad of 1b; Rose Matthews, aged lb; William John Brown, aged 16; Eli zabeth Bell, aged le ; Martin Macmillan, aged 30 ; and Catha rine Mac (lane, aged 18. A singular occurrence took place on Tuesday last, as English, the constable, (who had been very active in apprehending then thieves,) was conveying the squad en a coach from Gateshead to Durham Gaol. When the coach arrived at the entrance to the city, he observed his young Jr ends all nod to an Italian who was playing on an organ in du. Street. Ile took no apparent notice of the cueurnstarce, but as soon as be had de livered his ;trimmers over to the governor, he returned to the Ita lian, and tapping him on the shoulder, took him into n public. house, when he peremptorily commanded hint to give up the watch he had in his pocket. The Italian was thunderstruck, and asked what watch ?—when English instantly replied, " the watch that was stolen from Whickham." This was inesistible—the watch was produced—the Italian taken into custody, and he sad hie or gan brought to Gateshead. After undergoi e u e s i nanimation, we understood the Italian has been admitted the ju venile depredator , and his organ demised as doil a ra t appear ance.—/hid.

These Sessions commenced thii morning before the Loan Maxott, the RECORDER, Ald. ANSLEY, HUNTER &c. The Grand Jury having been sworn in, The RECORDER delivered his charge. He regretted that much of their time would be occupied, owing to the heavy state or the ea. !alder for the Old Bailey Sessions. lie was anxious to call sawn. don to two cases which would be brought before them. They related to the crime of receiving stolen goods, with a knowledge that they had been unfairly obtained. It was the law of the land, though not generally understood, that a party receiving stolen goods, who did not intend to appropriate them in any way to his own use, was as guilty as the receiver who purposed making use of them to his own advantage. The other case related to the crime for forgery. It was of great Importance to the proper and due administration of justice, that this offence should be severely dealt with. The Grand Jury were then dianiissed till to-morrow at 10 o'clock MOCK AUCTIONS —cALlmoarE V. IFULLJAMEA. _ This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for an assault. The defendant is an auctione:r at a mock auction.— The prosecutor did not ag l ea w r i . c Mr. PHILLIPPS, as I for the defendant, stated that the prosecutor, it appeared, had taken a great aversion to auctions, and had thought it a public duty to endeavour to put them down, but had acted very d.shottoumbly in the present case. He had gone to the auction rooms, in Lotnbard.street. bid for articles, which he would not take when knocked down to him, and had then gone and given information to the excise,that lota had been sold by the defend. ant on which the duty was not paid. The excise were too honour. ble to take any advantage, and on the plaintiff's repeating his visits to the auction, and having bid for knives which he refused to take, was quietly desired to leave the shop, which he refused to do, and struck the defendant a blow, which might hare been returned. Witnesses were called, who proved that the plaintiff struck the first blow, and the Jury acquitted the defendant. There are many cases of appeal to be heard.

They were cutting up a captured ammunition waggon for firewood, when one of their swords strik ipg against a nail, sent a spark among the powder. I looked in the direction of the explosion, 1 saw the two poor fellows about twenty or thirty fee/ up in the air. On falling to the ground, though lying on their backs or bellies, some extraordi nary effort of nature, caused by the agni.y of the moment made them spring from that position, five or six times, to the height of eight or ten feet, just as a fish does when thrown on the ground after being newly caught. It was so unlike a scene in real life, that it was impossible to witness it without forgetting for a moment the horror of their situation. I ran to the spot along with others, and fcund that every stitch of clothes had been burnt sit; and they were as black as ink all over. They were still alive, and told us their names, otherwise we could not have rceognized them and, singular trough, they were able to walk off the ground w.th a little support, but died shortly after." FlBll STORY, LUT A TRUE ()MR.—Some twenty five years ago, a Mr. S. of t h is town, who was then at Siascosset, sent some cedilla' to his anther in town.

When asked to describe the knife, it soon appeared fully evident that the knife notelet in the fish's poke was the one he lost.

DISCOVERY OF MURDERERS Per CAITHNESS. It was well retnarhed, on the late trial of Esmond, that murder would be out. " Althuugh no mortal eye should have beheld the commission of the crime, the eye of Heaven was on the murderer, and thus the truth was revealed." The correctness of this observation hi been lately exemplified in Caithness in a very extraordinary leisure.. About four years ago the body of a nta.e, belonging to a vessel which was then lying of Wick, was found on the pier, and it was at the time supposed - the deceased had been accidentally drowned. It now turns out, however, that the individual alluded to was mur. dered. Our infotmant states that a girl, servant to one of the i:tr.. keepers at Pulteney Town, recently quarrelled with her mistress. and was turned from her service, upon which she became very wroth with her employers, abused them, and when threatened with a prosecution for defamation, said she could prove all she had asserted, and further, that a murder had been committed in the house. An investigation instantly took place, and a man was taken into custody and lodged in gaol. The circumstances, we are informed, are as follow :—Four sailors. together with the deceased, were, on the night of the murder, drinking In the public-house alluded to; in the course of the evening a quarry arose, when the unfortunate mate was seized by the waist by one of the men, and his hands held by two others, while the fourth, with a bottle, fractured his skull and killed him ; the body was then placed in a sack, carried to the beach, and thrown over the Pier. It is said that neither the landlord nor landlady of the house knew any thing of the matter. One of the murderers, we are told, drowned himself some time ago, and the other two, being at present on a voyage, are still at large, but much anxiety prevails as to their re. turn.-*-/nwernoss Journal. MURDER AT CHARD. A murder, of a similar nature to that for which Russell beta been tried, was perpetralsdnue Chard six years since, inconsequence of which and the poverty title Mends of the unfortunate victlm,Josn Turner, a number of nusletnates sod ondssen met a ft er the disco. very of her murder, and lensed themselves into a committee for the purpose of Instituting an inquiry into the different facie, with a view that the perpetrator might be brought to justice. After several examinations Russell was apprehended, and taken be fore the magistrates, and committed for trial. After the con demnation of Russell steps were taken by his counsel, and a respite was obtained ; the committee, therefore, again met for the purpose of further investigation. As the ease has become of great interest, we thought it right to visit Chard, toobtain every possible informatics on the subject. We accordingly proceeded to the house of Russell ; the prisoner having stated that Mrs. Clarke's servants were mistaken in some of the facts they spoke to, and said h was impossible they could have heard the pump or seen the light in his house, we were very minute in our exaniination of the premises. The prisoner's kitchen window, in which tl.c servants said they saw the light, is distinctly to he stet from their bed-room window, so that any light in his kitchen might easily have been seen by the m,i but his window could not be seen by any of the neighbours. The noise of the pump can be plainly titan' in the servants' bedroom, and in the dead of night would be very likely to attract their obser vation. Prom these premises we repaired to the field where the murder was committed.— The spot where the body lay is now, from so many people having been there without gram., :slid strikes the observer almost immediately upon entering the field. It is within two yards of the footpath, and within twenty yards of the lane called Avishay-Isne ; the patters of the unfortunate girl were found on the outside of the gate leading into the field, so that a person would be it d to suppose she had got over the gate in (taste, with an intention of going aloes this footpath to a house to -which it led. In the ad . ioining Sold were found the two spots of blood, which would lead to the idea that the murderer having committed the dreadful act, had gone:to the be ton-mentioned gate to 'sink into the lane, and had then gone in a straight direction across the adjoining field to a gap in the hedge, and had stopped twice .o wipe off some of the blood, and had then gone through the gap into Stephens's-lane, which would agree with the evider.c: of a rerscv having been heard to jump into the lane: this tti mild be th• only direction towards water. We returned to the town. and. , trol (meting the committee-room, we were addressed by the chairman. who stated it to be the wish of the committee that every .et of theirs should be made public; that they met foe the sole purpose of endeavouring to further the ends of justice, and with die hope of hrinring the actual murderer to punish. ment, and that any initoirstmr they c old give, thty lad no wish in any way to withhold.
