I. BISHOP OF cursTce: . . The LOIRTICIIIEV JUSTICE, ininictlintely ujni, taking his seat on the Bendy, gave judgment upon this rase. On the 12th of ;ton:caber, 1819, Bradshaw, incumbent of a living, was mortally ill, and his life dearly despaired of ; he, in fact, died at half.past clevw o'clock at 'tight. On the same day, and a few hours before litadshaw's death, Trafford, who was scud in the right of pre. senUttivn o sold it to the plaintiff, in consideration of 6f8.191. for 99 pats, if the plaintiff should so long live. The plaintiff gore the bring to a clerk of the name of Andel'', who did not appear to kiwi anything of the cwaract between Fouli.ea and Trafford. In this ems the Cour: stflim.ed the judgment of the Court below, SLielt had this to he a shnonincal and corrupt transaction, and the matting of the statute of 31 Elizabeth, chap. L. That chive declared every such contract to be null and void; and the CoOMat a oukl out suffer the intenewm of that statute to he frustrated • evasiou. That the clerk was ignorant of the simony ar.d cur a option co u ld not make any difference in the case, for the corrupt contract must be void, although the object and application of it were innocent and even laudable. A voluntary payment made by a, bankrupt en the eve of bankruptcy to s ;Secured creditor was voided, however ignorant the creditor might be of the circurnstancht of the bankrupt. It had been argued that if this contract shoutd be voided, it would unsettle all contracts for liiings which were not ramie at the time of the contract; for if the contract should he found void when made a few hours before the death of the in. surnbent, why not when made a few days, a few weeks, a few Months before the vacancy? But the Court considered the cireum. Mama is this case very singular. and such as they hoped would ;lever occur ajpun. Their judgment could Mem a precedent only in Vretiaely similar circumstances. The cure in this use was full in iOll/1, but vacant in fact at the time of the contract. The statute did not Dietitian a vacancy. and a corrupt and Unionist-al contract must be held void, though the living should be full. The judgment of too Court below, declaring the contract void on the ground of simony, was therefore affirmed. FEES IN THE COUNTY COURT. - - - . Mr. Fad tfcat applied foe a rule to show cause why a criminal lottemation should - not issue against the Clerk and Deputy Clerk of the County Court, on the grounds of taking excessive fees, and of not hearing a defendant of the Dame of Broad, against a claim -belays 40s.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, it had bent decided in Lord Ellen_ borough's time, that private minutes or memoranda could not be evidence, or exclude parole testimony. Me. EVANS referred to the case of Ramsbottom and Tunbridge, in proof of this doctrine. Mr. Justice HOLROVD said this case had been before him in chambers, and it had appeared that the rutty was not made in pre. senor of the parties.

The defendant pleaded to abate. hatter*, that he was Baron Stafford, Lord Stafford, at the time of taking the inquisition. The rule was to quash this plea. It was not ousesary to deprecate the influence of prejudice, for their Lordships would consider this question precisely es if that illustrious Noble., mu, the Duke of Norfolk, were i:escribed as John Howard, Esq. If their Lordships quashed this plea, the defendant would he de prived of his right of bringing the question before another Court by a writ of error. It was contended that the patent of Pemage ought salmi* been set out. But there were many Peerages of which the' pouts could not be set out. The Court of Common Pleas had re.' tuned to gnash where a plea was alleged to be insensible, stating, that if it was an it was at the defendant's peril.

SINGULAR C.ISF. OF LIBEL. SUPREME COURT, CALCUTTA , JULY 21. 3. BRYCE v. G. BALLARD, J. PALINEN, AND J.P. BANDY& Counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. CLARKE and Mr. PEaosEgrow. Counsel rot the defendaats, the ADVOCATE-6E34EIIAL and Mr. RTOR. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, the in tense anxiety of the public with regard to this cause was manifested by the crowded state of the Court, which was filled at an early hour by gentlemen high in the civil and military service, and the most respectable inhabitants of Calcutta. Mr. PEllaraTOX briefly opened the case to the Court, and stated that the damages were laid at 100.0 id rupees. Mr. CLARKE said. the plaintiff in this case was a Minister of the Church of Scotland; and of' the defendants, two were pro prietors, and one the editor, of the Cotentin Jumrnal. He need only refer to Dr. Ihryce's career in India, and he could say that from the first editor until the time of the present one, he had been continually the sufferer by the libels published in the Caknlla Journal. The very fifth number of that paper contained a libel against him, and every succeeding one had teemed with them. On the sezond day that the present editor entered on his duties, a libel was published against him, and day after day, this conduct had been repeated. The charges brought against his client, the Learned Counsel pro ceeded to argue, were absurd, and were fixed entirely to the one action of his life. And this was, that having enjoyed the confidence of the government, they had thought fit to give hint a violation, and because he had accepted it, they had overwhelmed him with these libels. But the Learned Counsel would put witnesses into the box to prove that there was !lolling derogatory to the character of a Clergyman of the Church of Scotland in accepting of such a situa tion as this, for it was the practice of its ministers to exelyise secular employments. The libels appealed to the authorities at home; to the Court of Directors and to the General Asaembly, and they called upon them to stri his client of his gown. No one could say . what the Court of D irectors or the Church of Scotland might do consequence of them. Might they not say, " You have dis graced religion by bearing for five years what you have done; why did you not have recourse to the law for redress?" His client had now recourse to the law, the Learned Counsel stated, in the hope that his reproach would Ir.t wiped off by his Lordship's decision. The defendants, Messrs. Ballard and Palmer, were very respectable persons • and if their respectability had been less, they might have been mixed up with the Editor, and have passed without further notice. But when people of this description came forward to support with their rank, influ ence, and property, publications like the present,—when they did this--they were completely mixed up with the Editor, and could not be distinguished from him. They did it with their eyes open ; they knew of the four former prosecutions ; they knew that Mr. Buckingham had been sent home for the same offence ; they knew the present Editor ; they saw the libels published daily ; they knew the plaint in this action had been filed ; and if, instead of coming forward to check these proceedings, they gave them a helping hand, they thus identified themselves wish the Editor, and were answerable tor his actions. Tne Learned Counsel then pie ceetled to consider the libels. . . . Evidence was called to prove the publication of the libels, which principally attacked Dr. Bryce, fir at cepting the office of Clerk of the Stationery Office ; attributed a hwe of pel:to hint as a minister of the gospel ; and arraigned his conduct as a writer in a newspaper which he edited, and also reproved him for his political conduct. The Aov ocaTa.6 EN /AUL, for the d:fetielants, made se veral technical objections to the proceedings, and particularly to the proof of the publication, but said he had many more as to the plaint. On this occasion he had the honour, he said, to address the Court fir the defendants, who resisted the claim for 100,000 rupees da mages, so modestly demanded by the plaintiff: After the case his Lordship bad heard, he was convinced that a very small modicum' of this sem only would be awarded to him. (If the questions which had arisen out of Dr. Bryce's appointment to the situation of Clerk of the Stationery Committee, he would not say $ word, because the, appointment had been made by those who were the best judges of the propriety of it. And there could not be the shadow of a doubt, I that a gentleman who had consumed so many of the articles in' question, pens, ink, paper y and sand, must be an excellent judge of them. If any one were ht fur the office of ti judge of the articles, surely s man of such talent as the plaintiff was fit for it. There', could Dot be the smallest doubt but that it was inconsistent with the' character of a minister of the Church of Scotland to accept of such' a situation : and every one had said so, with the exception of the two last witnesses, whose evidence he would leave out of the ques tion, *ho had talked of their shoemaking and tailoring parione. Dr. Halliday had said that he, oot being a minister of the Church of Scotland, would accept of the situation; but he said, at the same time, that ft was an office, which Dot only the wild class in the Church of Scotland, but the great body of the people, would eon demo • minister for accepting. The Learned Counsel only asked that the mouth of the public should not be shut ; and hecontended that it was the right of the public, and of the congregation of 1):. Bunk as a of the public, if they disapproved of his conduct,' to be to express it. His Lordship had heard of his editing a newspaper—of his filling this situation ; be had also hard his eulogfum : he had beard him anklet' Ms Priest of the Creator ; the High Priest of the Most High: but notwithstanding this eulogium and these designations, he coold only come to one aim elusion from the evidence before him ; and that was, that he was actuated in accepting this office by a love of money. The Learned Counsel, after having taken • review of the libels, referred to the letters "A Friend to Bankes." He contended that' there was quite sullieient evidence to lead people to believe that Dr. Bryce was the author of them. Any one who read over these letters would say in an instant that such a man as wrote them did blow up the coals of discord, and tear asunder the bonds of society ; that mom atrocious libels were never uttered than those against his then client, who was not may abused in his family, in his pursuits, and in his profession, but who was pointed out ass wild beast; and its reformer; to whom, not only was society called upon to hunt him down, but every one was anathematised who dared to stretch out the hand of fellowship to him. Whether or no, concluded the Learned Counsel, the gist and substance of the remarks on Dr. Bryce was, that by his activity in promoting addresses, his eagerness in accept ing of dila appointment, and his warmth in newspaper discussions, be bad not gone out of the line of his duty, and thus deprived him self of the protection of his religious professions. That he had gone out of the situation in which he was placed by those who sent him ben, could not be doubted. lie had been placed here to preach the gospel, and to preserve the public morals ; and if he had left the paths which the Learned Counsel said he was happy to re mark were so honourably filled by the English clergy, and no comment was to be made upon his conduct, either in public or in private, then the rights of society were at an end, and it may be justly feared that the clergy, instead of being an example to the nublic, may become the reverse, and the morals of the public be impaired, instead of being improved by their example. The L eane d co unsel's speech, of which this is the conclusion, was more animated than any we remember to have heard in the Court, The ADVOCATE-6 ' declined to call any witnesses, al though many were in attendance, and the Court adjourned about • quarter before eight o'clock. TUESDAY, JULY 22. Sir A. BOLLER proceeded to givejudgroent.--His Lordship thought that the libels had in substance been proved, tut he was not disposed to say that some of the variances were not sufficient to afford grounds for a new trial, although he thought many of them groundless. The defendants, however, should have the full bene ht of their objections on a motion for a new trial, but at present he could not go beyond this, and must give a verdict for the plaintiff. As to damages, his Lordship said, that it would be an object to prove to the world, that the plaintiff was not actuated in coming into Court by the motives imputed to him, and it was with refirenee to this consideration that he should award them. He supposed that the plaintiff had come tom:nil to vindicate his character alone, and to another Clergyman he should have given larger damages th a n he felt disposed to do on this °coition. For he was bound to re member that Dr. Bryce had once been editor of a newspaper, and that he ass supposed to be the author of the letter of " A Friend to Hanka." Ilia Lordship therefore thought there was some ex. cuse fur Mr. Buckingham, and some fur the present editor. It was very unpleasant to determine the amount of damages at any time; hut in this we, and under the circumstances he had referred to, he should give a verdict for the plaintiff on all the five counts, at the rate of 400 rupees each count, amounting to 21300 rupees and costs, (about 2001. sterling.) CORONER'S INQUEST. On Thursday last an hairnet was held at the Britannia public house, in the rules of the King's Bench prison, before P. Lepipre, Esq. on the body of John If ohday, a middle-aged man, who died suddenly. Mrs. Cooper, a lodger in the same house with the deceased, de posal that he had generally enjoyed good health, but that on Tues day evening last, about eight o'clock, he began to complain of a pan in his ear, in consequence of which be applied to it a small quantity of tobacco; from that remedy, however, he experienced but little relief, as about four o'clock the following morning the deponent Mrs. Cooper went to render what assistance she could, when she found the deceased extremely convulsed and speechless, and oho shortly after expired. Mr. Evans, surgeon, was next sworn, who deposed that between the hours of seven and eight on Tuesday morning he was called in to attend the deceased, when be found him in a state of stupor, quite insensible, and evidently labouring under some compression of the brain, either the rupture of a blood vessel or the formation or an abscess, which had praviously caused the pain in his ear: he accordingly bled the &wand very copiously in the arm, and enter tained not the smallest doubt but the deceased's death took place in c suequence of an apoplectic fit, proceeding from some of the atuses before mentioned. The jug, after 'owe hesitation, returned a verdict--" Died by the visitation of tied." PEPICPTRIANTsw.—The young Vorkshireman, namtvl Bullock whose pedestrian feat at Beepin g we noticed rat week, appeared here at the beginning of this week, in the gay costume of Its performances, and drew out a more than usual number of the votaries of 'Saint Alonday. He raked himself to walk W miles in eight hours and a half (Influding time for refieshment), from the Wane shoe inn, in Red Lion-squme, to Newsier! Toll-her (on the UlEngton road), and back. As the kat was begun at nine o'clock in the wonting, great crowds attended him from time to time, and the principal streets of the town through which he passed were pretty uproarious all the day. His pace was confined to walk ing ; but stilt he performed the first six miles in 65 minutes, and the whole distance was completed with gnat ease an hour within time. The light and agile frame of this young aspirant for cele brity qualifies hint for pedestrian feats. Hitherto, we understand. he has depended upon voluntary contributions for his reward ; and we Inhere they have not been large in Stamford.—Sfanifi , ril nay. COMMODORE O'BRIEA: Of the many eccentric characters of the present day, this is one of the most singularly successful and fortunate. During the King's visit to Ireland, he started from his obscure native village of Kilrush, and by exhibiting him self in Dublin Bay, in a little vowel scarcely large enough to contain his diminutive person, he attracted very general attention, and in no small degree heightened the pictu resqueness of the scene, which the gay appearance of the King's yachts and royal cortege presented. The King on that occasion was a donor to the Commodore of ten gui neas. Since that period we lost sight of the adventurous O'Brien, until we heard that he sustained an unfortunate shipwreck—that his little bark was sunk—and that he himself escaped almost miraculously. Subsequent to this sad run of misadventure, O'Brien repaired to Brighton, with a tale as fraught with pathetic woe as Falconer's Shipwreck. lie detailed his misfortunes in the quarter most likely to excite sympathy, and more particularly that species of sympathy of which he now stood most in need. His tale of sorrows soon readied the Pavillion, and his Majesty's Household (who remembered him in Ireland) entered into a subscription for his relief. Sir E. Nagle, as an Admiral, was deemed the most appropriate person to whom to entrust this unfortunate son of Neptune. Sir Edmund accordingly took him under his special care; the King handsomely subscribe., ten guineas for the Commo dore, and accompanied it with an order, that he should be comfortably provided with- elothes—.hat a boat should be built for him according to his own instructions—and that lie should be invited tp the royal kitchen until it should Iv built ; so that Conutodore O'Brien is likely to be better off than lie has hitherto been in the world, and has to boast of sharing, as be now does, the royal hospitalities of the Pavillion. The boat is to be five feet in length, and of proportionate width. It is to be made of such frail mate rials, that the Commodore, on coming on shore, may place it on his heed, and awry it home with him. lie mtimils exhibiting in it this season at Brighton, principally about the Chain-pier, where it will impart a very gay and 1 lively appearance to the scene in summer. The Comm dore projects a trip to Dieppe in it this summer, an under taking, we fear, too venturesome even for his nautical j skill to encounter. Great anxiety and curiosity has been excited about him and his boat at Brighton. The various liberal subscriptions that have poured into hint from all ' quarters, have quite piped him to a state of affluence. . POLICE. kflV STREET. AUDACIOUS RODllLlY.—YeAlaftlay a respectable droned young man, who stated his name to be Jolts Adams !leaky, was brought before sir It. Sink., charged with stealing a watch and appendages, the v.oparty of Mr. Tuck, a salesman in Castle street, Leicener•square. The prisoner, about eight o'clock on Saturday evening, went into Mr. Tuck's shop, and said he wanted to purchase a watch. One wl ich he pointed out in the window was shorn to him, and the price being fixed, be said he would get a friend who was a better judge than himself, to call and look at the watch, and if he approved of it, the proehase should be completed. In about an hour and a half he caged again, and asked if his friend had been there, and being inf to the negative, he requested to look agrou at the watch. pretending to examine one of the springs, he suddenly mew a quantity of snuff in .Mr. Tuck's face, and ran away with the Int& He was telly controlled to Newgata. iiiATTON-UARDEN.

Leery wirtion has since been made to discover them, but without success, mail Sunday night, when Mr. Jades met the minuet in Old -street, St. Luke's, and gave him into custody. As Thompson has got some it- 1 formation respecting the party, the pthower was remanded until Saturday. UNION-HALL.

Esqrs. charged with the murder of James Richardson, a fellow-labourer, on the 29th of June, 1821, in the parish of Enfield, Middlesex. The Cowen warrant for the an ion of the prisoner was produced, 'by which it appeared that prehension Johnsen was round gutlty eo the inquest of the wilful Illur. der of James Richardson, by nearly levering the unfortunate de ceased's thighs from his body with a inow-icythe. The prisoner was disguised in sailor's clothes at the time of his apprehension. The following evidence was given against the accused:— Samuel Brickett, labourer, sworn.—l live in the village of Cock faster, in the parish of Enfield. On Friday, the 411th of June, 1821, between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, I was return. ing in company with the risme.. Charles Johnsen , and the de ceased, James Richardscn, from dinner, at which we had a pet of porter each, to a swarth of clover, which we had been mowing for Archibald Parris, Esq. in the parish of Enfield, near Haddelefs and in goingacruss the field the prisoner said that he would lay ('he wager that he had a foot wider swarth than the deceased had, and they had some further word, concerning it, upon which the deceased swore he would hit hint if he continued to irritate and vex him. The prisoner then threw down a scythe, which he car ried on his shoulder, and told him (the deceased) to strike him if he dared; deceased did not hit the prisoner, but still used ag gravating language, and at length the prisoner ran to where has scythe was lying on the ground, picked it up, and approached the deceased with it ; and with an oath exclaimed, he would chop off his (the deceased's) legs with the scythe, if he would not be quiet and leave off annoying him. At this time they were both standing near to each other quarrelling. and almost directly afterwards, the prisoner struck the deceased with the blade of the scythe, across the upper part of the thighs, near the belly ; the deceased instantly fell backwards to the ground, exclaiming, " Oh Loral ! oh dear ! you've killed me." Witness then ran to Johnson, and said, Look what you have done; you have killed the man, are you not lathamed of yourself?" To which the prisoner swore that he would serve any man so that meddled with or provoked him. Witness then went to fetch a horse and cart ; and on his return from the village he found the deceased lying stretched along the grass, in the 1111111 C place where he fell when the wound was inflicted, completely . drenched in blood. The scythe lay near the deceased ; but the pawner had absconded during his (witneaa's)l absence. Witness assisted in placing the deceased in the cart, and I drove him home to Cockfaster, where he expired in a few hours afterwards. The witness added, that an inquest was held on the deceased, when a verdict of " Wilful Murder" was returned against the prisoner, and a reward offend for his apprehension. Since the above circumstances, he (witness) did not see the prisoner until his apprehension. James W Wien's, of Haddeley, stated, that on Saturday after noon, between two and three o'clock he met the prisoner in the Borough, near St. Thomas's Hospital, and knowing him to be the man who stood charged on the Coroner's warrant of the milder of the deceased, he had him apprehended. John IC/buy, a constable of the Town-hall, stated, that on Sa turday last, in the afternoon, upon the prisoner being delivered over into his custody by the last witness, he asked him if lie was guilty of the charge alleged against him, when he replied—" l'es, I am ;" and, without witness putting any further questions to him, he gave the following account of the circumstances which led to the death of the deceased :—That he was at work in a field of Mr. Parris's, with four o•Ave tabor men, em the 2911 a of June ; that he and the deceased had a few words, when the latter threatened to strike him, and that he (the prisoner) while in the act of defending himself front the blow with his scythe, the deceased, by accident, fell upon the blade, and received the injuries, which he (the pri soner) was accused of wilfully committing. After the accident, he said that the other men who were present gave hint money, and persuaded hint to go out of the way, which he did. The prisoner further said, that the reason he allowed Williams to take hint into custody was, that he did not think :hat person would have recol lected the charge against hint ; and that lie could have easily escaped if he thought the above charge was to be brought forward against hint. He added, that he would long since have given him self' up to justice hut for the fear of being hanged. Mr. CH AMrien s—What have you been doing since you left home? The prisoner said that 'le had been for some part of the time in the employment of a Mr. Coleman, but that lie had had no work from about -is weeks before I Thistmas, and he in consequence was reduced to great distress, having been obliged to part with all his clothes to support Itiint If. Ile had a wife and four children, whom he had neither scen nor heard of since he left Cockfuster.

Ainsworth had for some time been rather unwell; but as late as the noon of the day on which he died he was about, and attending to his busi ness as usual. His disease, we understand, is considered to have been an ossification of the lican.—Afarrchest.T Payer.

Sta,—Your Correspondent of the 6th inst. writes with some learning, and with pretensions (which I cannot estimate) of . private petsonal knowledge, concerning the pretended " Iron-masked Man." Ilis affirmation that he was confined in I'ignerol evidently points to the Minister Fouquet. But be mentions one circumstance, which has always struck me, that the first mention of this man's existence is made by Aronet, who called himself, for no reason, Voltaire. This Aronet was a Loan of shocking obscenity, and levity of character, and his power ful genius scarce justifies an honest family in possessing his works. The great Emyekirdia, published many years after the Siiek de bonds X Ir., in the article limner as M. de F. cites no authority but the said passage of Voltaire. What I wish to learn first of all is, what is the substratum—the evidence a the fact? Where, as Caledonians do talk, is the corpus 3ly own notion (till corrected by better authority, such as your learned Correspondent, I doubt not, is) is, that no such mystery ever occurred within the state prisons of Louis XIV., or his suc cessor. And that the whole business is as big a lie of Monsieur . Aronet's, as the ride of Heiman Maseppa naked on a wild horse, and the siege of Charles the Twelfth at Bender—both also nar rated by him, like his Iron Mask, without the drudgery of citing authorities. _ _ _ ..... I do nut care what happened in the Bastille, and am open to conviction, but have not yet heard enough to persuade me. l'our's, &c. X. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. February 6, IB2L Sin,--7 have read the letter signed " .1. rurridge , " inserted in your paper of the Sib inst., in which the assertion is repeated, which he has several times publicly made, that Sir Robert Sip , logs has receiv-il a reward of 5.01101. and the honour of knight- I. for curing the dry-rot in ships of war. Let us examine how this t bears upon the tact ; in the third Report of ct theifikle Gem ralttee of the House of l'ommons on Fleance, we find et follow ; ire passage:—" Your Committee deem it their duty particularly to notice $ll. Seeping., one of the Surveyors of the Navy, to whose abilities and exertions this country is mainly indebted for , many of its moat valuable improvements in naval architecture; the ' ingenious models of which have been submitted to the inspection of your Committee, with all the necessary explanations of their several uses and application. Your Committee do not pretend to describe, or appreciate with accuracy the value of these improve ! went' , to estimate which to their full event requires considerable ! professional experience: they are, however, fully convinced, that the result of them will be to effectuate, in the construction of ships of war, a great saving of expenditure to the public, and to secure 1 a . proportionate economy of human life, arising from their sone _ ! rtor durability and greater power of resistance to the elements, and Ito the casualties incidental to nautical life, which the modern sys. tern of keeping our fleets at sea at all seasons and in all weather, ' has rendered of the utmost iniportance. These services, although they have nothing of that brilliancy which forcibly attractsisublic admiration, a ill continue to tonic r a lasting benefit to the British nation, long after that period when the beneficial effectaof victories, however splendid, shall have passed away." How far Sir Robert Seppings is to consider himself particularly favoured by the honour of knighthood, an honour which has been conferred for time immemorial, on persons holding the office of Surveyor of the Navy, remains for your correspondent to explain ; unless it be the gracious and spontaneous manner, in which it is reported this honour was conferred bz his Majesty, on board his own yacht, and under the banner of Lngland--an honour as unso licited as it was utiexpated on the part of Sir Hobert. Having said thus much in justice to a deserving individual, and proud that the cure of dry-rot was not contemplated when the ho nour was conferred. or the reward given, I shall leave the other points of your correspondent's letter to those who may have studied the subject, and can understand his letter. I am, &c. VERAX. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL. S, blownA\', Fry. 9, INS The subscription room was very respectably and numerously at tended, but the betting by no means was proponionably brisk.

F►:n• 7.—Our excellent pack of Union Harriers, kept in the neighbourhood, have again, in the course of the week, had to boast of several capital and severe runs, which have tried the bottoms of some of our best horses. These hounds, we understand. meet regularly every Monday and Friday, at ten o'clock, at Jeanne.- ton Holt, on the former, and at M'illingdon Old Mill, on the latter day. Some excellent coursing has also taken place during the week ; the hares were never known to run stronger or fleeter. some of our fastest greyhounds being unable to cope with them. The greyhounds of a gentleman in a neighbouring village, which are well known to have great speed, have also been put into requi sition, but su straight-necked are the hares that they have several t ines completely beaten their pursuers. . An advertisement appears to the Leeds Intelligence% with a long! list of the names of persons (including the corporation), stating their decided disapprobation of races being established in the vici nity of Leeds, bzlieving that such a n carom would be highly inju rious to the morals and industry of the people. MATCH OF TROT T 1 X 11. — LapL 'lender:loW* match, which ex cued much attention, took place yesterday, at Halsted, Hats, over a two-mile piece of ground, for 300 sovereign. The match was, to trot 16 miles in one hour, and to carry 9st., which was done in 311 minutes 30 seconds. It was altogether a fine race, and won hardly. The hone broke into a gallop is the seventh mile only. MARKETS. CORN EXCBANOE, MO,MAT, FE IiaIJART 9.

There wait an abundant supply of g ee. ley, and having but few buyers, prices were f u ll 2s. per qu arter lower than last Monday. Although the supply of Oats since this day week has been inconsiderable, yet as our eensuceers bought only sparingly to-day, a reduction art Is. t o 2 a . per quarter from rates of laid Monday must be noted.
