that pat.ence was the best remedy at present; but he would ca.' upon those who practised this doctrine, even the Head of the Church himself, to try 'the misery which the people of Lancaster had :offered fur seventeen mouths, but 'for seventeen hours, and then say vitiator, patience would atiord a solace to such horrible privations ? We had :nen of talent in all ranks. We had those Divines who could untold the oracular dispertartions of 1101 Y Writ —we had Philosophei s, Astronomers, .a . :13 Mathematicians, who could solve the most :klastreseprobl.ms ; but yet, none of these men coold pier Out the way to &nil food for the Wavy,. cr ra;r o ept foi- the naked. Itt truth, he thou Li ht for si.cli w4e was the best place. Frrrsu E.:3, if he . understood :the question rialuly, it was the keaolotion, of the last Meeting to, adjourn to the present day, and that from thence the I Deputies were to meet front week to week. If this determination should moat' be altered, .and go forth to the wtald, he was afraid it Might look Reit there was no. fa?aJiuess in their purpose. For his own Fait, he did notate that there was business of suffi cient ;pro:Lance to detain the Delegat.4s in to .vn ; but. he • feaied the capticimemeas .of their conduct would serve the sons of cprcuption with another eitese.for. when they belitakthe Meeting do ti.is thing io.day and the - other tomorrow. 'By meeting eccasionelly, as was proposed, he thought tee hopes and spits of the people viusdd he kept alive, and applications farm all quarters: Would in creases_sild Parliament more than ever be looked to'10:1- the attainment of the • great object they had iu It•!eie . ..7 he was tite in t ,re convinced of this, from titC absolute s tate of stasoation in which a great ma jaritrol the people were. In Lancashire, he could state that nuoibets were without food. Under these cmisideratiour,• - although he did not disagrte with Mr: Hdtu its any other sense of importance, he could Dot altogether agree in the propriety of dissolving the Meeting of the Deputation in the manner proposed. The ' Gentleman delegated Item .Middleton. was desirous of assisting the great cause, by seconding the - views of the Rev. Mr. liarriss, from Paisley and Edinburgh, holding with him,,that meeting from week to week would be the most essential mode to adopt. Mr. HAGUE said, that as Sir F.. Burdett was im mediately to pray for leavt to bring Mahe Bill talked of, perhaps a meeting appointed for a ,month hence would answer every purpose, and be equally calcu lated to keep alive the hopes.of the people. Major CARTWRIGHT said, that Sir F. Burdett *as nut at present in town, and he had 'not seen him to imettain when he would name a day for leave to bring in the Bill. In this'there might be great delay, as, after leave was given, day after day might be named fur its discussion.—(Neer, Anse).-.15 was ne cessary, to be 'sure, that the Deputies should bare some precise principles to• act open, but he saw no - business of importance to detain the Wageles s and.' of course, no reason to make any alteration in tho i proposed P e esidetion. He would further remark Ow, agreeable to their Oen decisioti, they had-left the matter to-Sie P. Burdett, and he mast, es it were; Dot only feel the pulse of the House on the proposed measure, but consult with many of the Member', • -known friends of Retest. When all this. was. dame,' end the result knowiteitiotice leslgle bit gives ota day for at Galerl. Meeting, and then the sub• jeetwouldhe fixed in the mind of every lover of Re.' fortnation in Perliament.—(Hear, hear).—An im mense body would then assemble ; while to press on - the present stage, without deliberation, to force hasty conclusion, or to excite immediate hopes d the good they sought, might tend vitally to injure the , sacred cause. Mr. MITCHELL was of opinion the present Meeting bad done all it had been required to do, but sug gested the necessity of keeping open the Meeting, as ' it were, for .the assembly of other Deputies, who' might - not only discuss with their brethren on the . Fuhject of Reform. but at the same time present their retitions while in town. • Mr. Hamm again rose to preaellit, amendment. Mr. BeNeow said he was delegates ao remain and do what good be, could do to the ,greet cause. Hr thought the other DepUties would dti:the same, mid he suggested the necessity of even waiting until the , • Bill was brought in, and return to their several homes with.the result. If no good. however, could be done by remaining, then tg every man to his tent." Mr. Hoare replied to the several arguments urged in favour of keeping up a weekly meeting of the De • pude., but he would raise his voice against Delegates thus forming themselves into a sort of petit Parlia ment, and sitting dims is die. As to the idea of a wanderer from the country fold to town, holding in his hand a Petition, but not knowing whereur pre sent it, he.asould say, that he would be no lost sheep; that he had hut to say he had a Petition to present • to Parliament, and the name °folk. F. Burdett or hijar Cartwright would be instantly annoosteid to m. Beside, most persons coining with PetitiOns from the country, had their particular. Members to represent them ; and he hoped, dud on thiegreat oc easion, those who were deputed tObring up Petitions in London, would take care to put "them into the hands of those alone who would give a pledge to support them. What, be would ask, would the over the way say (the House of Commons), If they attempted to erect themselves into a dicta°. tial toady assembled weekly ? Would they not say that they were usurping an illegal power, with a view to controulling the deliberatlifes of Parliament, and would ant that be the meant of petting them doirn ? The Amendment suggested. by Mr. Harris was • then put and negatived by* large majosity.ssed the original Resolution was earried. • Mr. Hu NT then moved ihe following Resolution : neselea—Ttiat this Meal's of Deloptes be now ilissolved, `sod It ie hereby dissolved soileldingly. Mr: BENIP/W thought. before the present Resolu-' . ,dam ivas.carried. the Delegates slitiold fix a certain . flay for a future deliberation. . He' thought, atter a st i r 'di ss olution as a betty, ttfey would have ut. power so to do. Major CARTWRIGIIT saitlt- they had no power to waxed the duty.they .bad, been delegated to execute pit the present occasion ; ;and added. that the . ) , would a be fully qualified . hereafter' to call a Meeting as in ttlividuals: • . The Resolution was•then put and carried with only lane dissenting voice. A vote of thanks was then passed to Major Cart wright, for his upright conduct in I'le Mr. IluaiT, p:cvious to the breaking up of the f' B 4,. • ; • Mfet;nr. proposed, dot all,thertelegatee front the petitidning bodie t ,thr•• g bosi .tp&A.laited Kingdom. should meet on Monday, the 10th of March next, at the Crown 2nd Anchor Tavern. He made this mo tion more on account of others to' whom he had pro mised to bring forward this motion, than froth any intention to approve of the motion if it was carried. After some conversation, however, it was thought advisably to withdraw the Resolution, and it was withdrawn accordingly. It was lastly arranged, that those Delegates having Petitions to present to Parliament o .should assemble tomorrow, at three o'clock, in Palacelard, to put thecti into the h7inds of Sir F. Burdett and Lord 'Cochrane. The Meeting was then finally dissolved. LAW INTELLIGENCL • COURT OF KING'S DENCR, JANUARY' V. THE RIOTERS. On the motion of Mr. COURTKOPZ, John Hooper, James Carpenter, Richard Gamble. and William Gunnell, who were indicted with John Cashman at the late Old Bailey Sessions, and acquitted of stealing' arms in Mr. Beckwith's shop, were now brought up from Newgate to plead to an indictment for conspi racy and riot.

This was an action of trover tor 12 bags of wool. At the trial before Lird Ett.esnoanuott, in the S ttings at Guildhall, artier last Term, the jury found a Ve - AleCt for the Plaintiff—Damages 4,608. 19s. Mr. Jztivis now movsd for a Rule to. shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new. trial granted. The ease was this :—On the Bth of August, 1815, the • defendants, who are merchants r.:aidinz at Brmol, sold, by their agent, 68 bags of Spanish wool, being of the value of awl I to Messrs. Jarman anu Lacy, to be weighed off immediately, and paid for by a bill at mine months date, from the stir' 'if September then next ensuing. The deleadaats sent an invoice of the goodi to Jar map and Lacy, at the bottom of which was written a menamandtas that they were to be paid for by a bill at nine months, and at the same time forwarded thentaiensples att.: wool. Jarman and Lacy then proceeded to make sale of all the 68 bags of wool, except twelve, which were the subject of the pretest action s and which' were exchanged by them with the plaintiffs for her. seymerea of equal value. AU the wool except these . twelve bags bad been delivered by the defendants to the order of Jarman and Lacy, although they bad 'never been paid by the bill at nine months, as agreed for ; and on the 16th of October, when the plaintiffs wrote to them, requiring the delivery of these twelve bags, per a particular carrier, they hesitated in giving .any answer until the 21st of that month, when Jar. man and Lacy became bankrupts, ntid then they wrote an answer, saying, that as they had sin been paid for the wool, they should bold the twelve bagel ,stirlalsituld not deliver. The question, under thew circumstances, was, whether the defendants, who had never been paid. had a lien upon the 41delitieted ,wool, for that wbichlad been actually delitasiaiPe. The Learned Cdunsel contended that, as the• gond: had . .aevee been oitinf the' defendant's poissessiou,, their lien continued, and, consequently, that the plaintiffs bad no right to recover. He relied mainly upon Hansim Meyer, 6 East's Rep. 614 1 and Stoveld o. Hughes, 14 East's Rep. 308. The Coma, however, were unanimously of opi. tied that in consequence of the defendant's baits. tion i from the 17th to the 21st of October, they must be taken to have waved their lien. By inch lathes, they proved that they were reposing the same eons deuce in the situation and circuntstances of Jarman and Lacy, which they had before relied Upon; and having claimed their lien only when those persons had become Bankrupt% they were too bite. A claim of lien roast be made promptly; but instead of doing so the e.::fendants suffered four long days to escape. before, they made up their minds t •snit vontequendy pitch unjustifiable delay defeated their deem upon the ;nods. --Rule refused. , . • . CORRIE AND co. v. COLES AND itEIRERE. . This was an action for goods sold and delivered, l and money paid to the account of the defendants.— At the trial before Lord Eta.ansoaouou in the Lon. don Sittings after last Term, the plaintiffs were 'soa r suited. • Mr.. Seancarr now moved to set aside. the thilfe suit, and obtain a new trial. The cue was thieves The three Coles, brothers, having each an infant sca t had executed a deed of trust to Richard Barker and William Garnett, whereby they bad settled upon their children the suns of 42000, in order to carry on trade for their joint benefit.. The Coles and the trustees bad joined. in a mercantile adventure, with i nser, chgne residing at Amsterdam, named Nicholas De Jetige, which, On the part of the former, was to be carried on with the trostinndt• TIM of the'Colee+ tamers, who were curling on the business Otbrokers and merchants in London on their own amine, fur chased a quantity, of sugar, coffee. and other.goods, of the plaintiffs, who were brokers, carrying on buti oess at Liverpool and in London, and; gave directions that they should provide a ship to carry the goodstii Amsterdam, deliverable to the order of De Jonge.... The order for these goods .was shwa in the name of the two Coles alone, anktbere was nothing to indi cate that they were purchased on the joint account of the fathers, trustees, and Do iotige. The present action, however, was brought jpintlragaiastAite six. The twoColes pleaded their bankruptcy, and the other, defendants ma inseernsiii and the question was whether the other defendants were jointly liable with the IWo Coles upon the contract made bythrtn.idthtliepbtituji:s? was admitted that there wan, no *vide:mean ail! veer the other defendants with the . eontract ; but i wat insisted that there biing a CoMaltnitty int*: rest between them in thendventure, teas alleged to have been shown by their ,mutual. cdtrespondOnee t they were aN jointly liable.

The defendant, it wi ll be recollected, was found guilty in the London 'Sit-, tings after last term; and The COMMON SMIJILANT now moved for a new trial, on the ground that the policy of insurance set forth in the indictment, whiels was alleged to have been signed breight underwriters, was in truth and in tact signed by no more than seven. The Court granted a rule to *chew cause, but they jhnught the objection would not be of much avail to the defendant. . . . . eas• MAYOR OF LONDON B.

There were Several breaches assigned, but none of them being satisfactorily made, out at the trial, the plaintiff was nonsuited. The ArfORNRY-GENERAL now moved for a new trial, relying upon that breach which charged the de. lendant with having employed a person to act under him, as a broker, such person not being duly Admit , ' ted according to the provisions required by the Cnr poratiori.* The eiridence to prove this assignment, Was, not •that be had .employed any, person under him, but had suffered bit`bentber to act jointly with him, as a brokpr, aid side hie name . with his ; tnit Lard ELLEND3ROUOII was of opinion, that• this was not within theietter, although it was, in point of mischief, as ball ,as. the bleach charged. It did not appear that the defendant bad employed his brother under him, but that the employment was co-ordi. nate with *his own. This, bowery'', was not the breach charged, therefore the rule must be refused. COURT OF CHANCERY, JANUARY 27.

Hals to the lOss of life and honour, and both to pay all costs. Lieutenant-General Huthau sea had had the precaution to get written orders from ' Prince Christian for all his measures; and although the public voice gave him out sui the principal author of the events of that time, and u having induced the Prince to adept false measures by his reports and re 'presentations, yet .as. no:bing could be proved against him, be was necessarily acquitted: lltspronuencing of this sentence at the very Mo ment what'll closer conneition between Sweden anii.

The Crown Prince when list in Norway, in his interviews with Christie &aver, and other Representatives. strongly urged the cessation of this action, but without success. The ,public attention is now anxiously turned to the count which the King will fallow—whether he will exercise his right of pude° in this.cme, as be did in the cabs 'of the rebels and deserter* from the Norwegian army in 1814 , contrary to the remonstrances of - the Con stitutionalists. • JAN. 2.—The harvest has been very indifferent in most parts of Norway, and in the. towns Arno is no stock of corns because trade' stagnates, and. there is in tlerway such a want of money, and of .rittlitp tbat ' tont can be had from abroad, so that the mint ter rible scarcity is to be feared, which oecastonilit the.
