He should oppose this motion ; and if it were pressed, he should take the sense of the house on it (herr, hear.) Sir E. CARRINGTON admitted the inconvenience of delay ; he had many infirm witnesses' on the road—it would be most inconvenient to postpone. Air. LITTLETON said the attendar.ce of Members would he still has requisite, as they, by virtue of their offices, were allowed to swear off. It was important that their numbers should he full; also that die eases should be as speedily disposed of as possible, because there would be more debateable private bills—bills embracing new and important projeets—than in any preceding session. Mr. PORTM AN said, it would be important to settle this question, because it was to be apprehended that postponements would be moved by the Ministers. Sir M. W. RIDLEY observed that this was his motive in submit ting tbe mosion. DR. PHILPOTTE. Sir J. ONAHASI, with reference to his motion respecting Dr. Philpotts holding the Bishoprick of Exeter together with the living of Stanhope, asked, as the Ministers were now confessedly such pro kmpore, whether, after the consecration of the Bishop, they would feel themselves justified in issuing any instrument to enable the Bishop to hold the living of Stanhope in comemersdare 9 Sir R. PEEL replied, that the pleasure of his Majesty had been taken on the subject ; but that no instrument had yet been issued to enable the living to be held with the Bishoprick. He should not take any steps to hasten such instrument being issued. If he held, which was very improbable, the office of Home Secretary, he should not delay tqe issuing of any instrument that had previously been determined on, and on which his Majesty's pleasure had already been taken. But this he would say, though it was not probable, should hnbe in once when any further instrument was required, be should not adopt any step without affording the Hon. Baronet the opportunity of bringing the matter before the House, if it were thought proper. (Hear.) Sir 1. GRAHAM then postponed his motion from to-morrow till to-morrow week. As to the law of the subjed, be understood that the vacancy in the living did not in fact occur till Aa the consecration and homage. He was satisfied with the undertaking of the Home Bean. tary.

POPULATION or Ostia.-.-1111793, Lord MocenoeY carried to Europe the report given him by a Chinese officer that China contained 333,000,000 , 4 of mouths," that is of human beings. It was however thought by many that the amount thus stated, originated with the pride sr the carelessness of the individual who presented it, and of late in Eu rope it has been generally disbelieved. " A foreign gentleman of great talent and research," in an article on the population of the globe in the Oriental HerisPd of April last, says, " the numerous estimates respect ing the population of China vary from fifty millions to the mystical number of three hundeed and thirty-three. The great Imperial Map of the Celestial Empire. published in the year 1700, fixes, be says, the population of China proper at 143,000,000 of taxable persons, to whom may be added 7,000,000 of untenable inhabitants. They will make altogether 160.000,000 of persons." A few days ago, however,we stumbled on a passage, in the Taa Tsing Hwuy Teen, which was never intended far the aye of an European, that fully establishes the report given to the English Ambermdor, and it shows moreover that his Imperial Majesty Hien-lung preceded Mr, Malthus in his fears of the human " mouths ° exceeding the means of subsistence ; the passage may be found as the 38th page of the 141st section or book of the work above named. Sien-lung remarks that, in the 49th year of the reign of King-be (A.D. 1710) soon after the Conquest, which had terribly thinned the population, the number of inhabitants in China was only 23,312,900; but last year be adds, the amount made out from the returns sent in from all the provinces was 307467,200. The Emperor wrote in the 64th year of his reign (A.D. 1793), so that the census was taken the year before Lord Macartney arrived at the Court of Peking. Th e increase Is so enormous in a period of about eighty-two Ira that some error in the figures might be supposed. Rowers: the Emperor makes a remark that the increase had bets about Moen fold, which slums there was no mistake for fifteen fold would make the amount 346,000,000. And if the statement be correct, it thews that China hes doubled its population every twenty years since the seam lion of the Ta-sing dynasty If this he the fact, it scant to 'peak a great deal in favour of the Tartar tiovemmost of China. After the war of the Conquest, the work we have quoted fres says. that that were large tracts of unoccupied land, the owners of wilds bed b a h destroyed or dispersed. These lands were given a a pespesosl ;ohm. mane to say one who would undertake to cultivate them. Govern must even gave tattle and implements of husbandry to the poor and destitute. And subsequently to that period every encouragement Ises been given to carry culuvation to the almost possible cum. The Emperor iteo.hrog said he looked stiali ism e we future, for the bed did not Wags% although the mouths se its produce did. He therefore called upon ell his ,use with peat esenomy the 10411. f nature. It m b l i l ass thew facts before its eyes, the Chilies Goveasment station as a crime. es the' LdW REPOJITS.

The Marquis, who seemed, however, still anxious to secure the services of Mr. Cou pe', wrote again to that gentleman, who still remained inflexible. The Marquis was determined, If possible, to obtain his valuable services, and on November 8, wrote to his father, the Professes, stating his (the Marquis's) readinesse should his son incline, to attach - him. mil to his house, to give him a settled , by no nein a bond of annuity is his favour of 1 1. pays le out of bis boded estate.

Up to November, 1612, Mr. Caspar had regularly drawn his annuity fan Cootie and Co. About Ibis time he began to exhibit symptoms of insanity, erased his nams from the books of Benet College, Ongabridge, left that place, and pre. ceeded to Cardiff, from thence to Siamonth, where Lord and Lady Bute were, where he behaved in the most unaccountable way, il ltz to Lord in. that it was his intends. to give up his living, and in a ietterapon his Lordship taking back the bond of annuity. Shortly after this Lord Bute died. In 1616, lir.

In 1817 an action was instituted for that purpose, and the Jury returned a verdict in favour of Mr. Cooper, declaring him to have been unsound at the time of the transmission of the bond, and incapable of managing be own affairs—and further, that the obligation contained in the bond was not extinguished. The case was afterwards transmitted to the Court of Session, who found the Marquis of Bute liable to pay the sum of 9001. for nine years' annuity.--From this der claim the present appeal was The house gave judgment is morning, confirming the decision d the Court of Session, with WI. costs. In deliv eri ng judgment Lad Wynford acquitted the present Marquis of Bute of any wish to defraud the Reverend Mr. J. Cooper of his just rights, believing the Noble Marquis to have been actuated in his resistance of the mwnt proceeding by a firm conviction that the surrender of the bond by the Rev. Mr. J. Cooper was a discharge and release of it to the granter. ROLLS COURT, Nov. 17.

TER NINO N. 511 JOHN KORNIS. This case, which hes before been tried, and a verdict given against the defendant, was for obstructing the King's highway . on a road near Swansea, by a rail-roed, whereby the lives of his Majesty's subjects had been Mr. Ser e ge da sn i = moved for a new trial, on the ground that the obstruction complained of was ready justifiable, both by common law and by Act of Parliament. Mr. CIEPPILL, for the action, expressed his astonishment at his Learned Friend's assertion, and read over the several statutes relating to roads, which be contended were decidedly against the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Lvin.ow represented, that although the Act of 45 Om. 111. by which the defendant had raised this rail-rod, bad expired, still the Legislature could not prohibit the use of soy thing which had been put in force by its own authority, and that, therefore, as this rail-road bed been allowed fora certain numba of years, until the Act of Parliament had literally expired, it ought to be allowed to continue now; more particularly when it should be taken Into consideration that the ' road on which it was raised was a by-road, and joined the licensed rail-road at Swansea. That the defendant, being pos. sensed of coal-mina, came within the meaning of the Oyster-month Ace, which allows such persons in the neighbourhood of Swansea as had coal mines or marble-quarries, Om to raise rail-roads, which should join the rail-road at Swansea. The Learned Sergeant conceived that wboha • thing was a nuisance or no nuisance should be determined by its good ee bad result; that in the present instance the road was a by.rosd, and not used generally by other vehicles; that the coals must be cooreyed by some means er other, and that a raft-road was the most convenient. Mr. Cameizt.t. and Mr. Joys, contended that the road in question wee not situated In any of the parishes mentioned in the Oyster-mouth Act, sad could not therefore be regulated by it. Mr. Justice Paean said, that t h e act by which it was raised was only for 21. years, and he was therefore of opinion that the 511 years being now aspired, the obstruction complained of was not legalised by it. That another act, referred to by Sergeant Ludlow, only au thorised, strictly speaking, railways on such roads as left a space of twenty feet on each side of the railway. Lord Tax: mums expressed himself of the same opinion. The rule was therefore discharged. (The Court sat at Nisi Prima, and tried several causes.) PAM= V. ?TIMMY. The plaintiff, a licensed victualler, in Theobalds-road, brought this action *pious the defendant, another licensed victualler, in the same neighbourhood, to recover damages for an injury done to his trade by slander. The slander consisted in charging the plaintiff with the dal. notation of hie beer. The defendant pleaded a justification, and called witnesses; but Lord TINTHODKN WM Or opinim, under all the circumstances, that the plaintifcould not wustttin the action; sad be was nonsuited.
