The Greek people are at this moment ardently expecting the arrival of Lord Coen is NI. : his name alone will be a host to their cause, and the fears even of the moat despair ing will be dis7.ipatest why a this Naval Hero has once joitsed the standard of their independence. At a late hour last night we received Wie,hington and Philadelphia Papers, the first to the 19th and the latter to the 21st ult. The most important matter contained in them is the Message of the PRFSIDENT to Congress on the object/ of the Panama Mission, of which we give an ab stract, taking away only those portions which, to use aa American word, are rather too lengthy. The new Nest- DENT seems to lecture the Congress somewhat in the tone of out Queen Bess to her house of Congress. We beg, however, to call the attention of our readers to this docu ment, which, in the present relative state of European and American politics, seems to us of some importance. The House of Representatives appears to be occupied in dis cussing some resolutions proposed by Mr. Nl`nurrir, of South Carolina, for an amendment of the Constitution, as far as regards the elections of the PRESIDENT and Vice- PRESIDENT, with a view to make the elections entirely popular, and to prevent them from being decided by Con gress, as was the case at the last contest between General Jacssort and Mr. ADANS. CITY, SATURDAY EVEWIXQ. This was a day entirely without interest on the Stock Exchanges, and not a shallow of a report was in circula tion. Consols opened at 794, and left off at 4, but the business was so limited that it was not worth reporting. The Foreign Market has been entirely neglected. Mexican Six per Cents. were reported at 624 ; Colombian Bonds at 434 44; and Greek ditto at yesterday's quotation, 144 15; Russian Stock was quoted at 79, and Peruvian Bonds at VS to V 6, but no transactions took place in them. The following printed notice or circular was transmitted by Ministers to the Bank, and from the Bank to the Stock Exchange:— " Treasury Chambers, April 14,.111213. " In eeneequence of the serious apprehension expressed by many respectable bankers of the effect of theattempts which may be made en Monday next to secure a subscription of Exchequer Bills at the Bank of England, it has been determined by Lord Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exchequer that, in lieu of the mode hereto fore adopted for receiving the subscriptions, the parties intending to subscribe should deliver sealed letters at the Bank of England un Monday. from nine o'clock in the morning until one o'clock, rot., specifying the stints for which thy, intend to subscribe, accompanied by sealed parcels, containing in Exchequer Bills or money a deposit of ten per centum on such subscriptioo ; and that at one o'clock, or as soon after as possible, on Monday, the Bank should declare the total amount proposed to be subscribed for, allotting to each party, in case the whole of the subscriptions should not exceed the amount of eight millions, the whole suns which he may have offered to sohscribe t and in case the whole amount offered to be subscribed should exceed eight millions, then such proportion only of the MIT tendered by him as the sum of eight millions may bear to the whole sum offered to be subscribed, retaining, in such case, the deposit of ten per cent. only upon such amount. _ " In the event of the whole um not being subscribed on Mon. day the 17th, then the salon course to be mimed on Tuesday the 18th, and also on tVetines-tay the 19th, if necessary, with respect to the sum remaining to be subscribed to complete the sum of eight =Moos:* The Cabinet Council which wu held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, did not mumble, as was reported, in consequence of the arrival of despatches by Mr. Kraus, from Constantinople; orders, we understand, having been given on Friday evening, for summoning the Cabinet Council yesterday at two o'clock. The Council continued in deliberation till half-past four. All the members of the ('enncil, with the exception of the Duke of Wellington, were present. On Saturday morning . at half post ten o'clock, the Lords of his blaiesty s Most Honourable Privy Council assem bled at the Council Office, Whitehall-place, to hear and determine French appeals. The Lords present were, the Lord President of the Council, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Judge of the Arches Court, the Muter of the Rolls, and Lord Colchester. The appeal which princi pally occupied their Lordship's attention wu that of George Keith and Co., who were residents in Ostend in the year 1794, when the French army took possession of it, and continued there till the year 1796, when Ostend became part of the dominions of France. The value of the pro perty which is the subject of appeal amounts to 773,000 litres. The King's Advocate, Mr. Fonblanque, and two other barristers, were heard by their Lordships upon the appeal. On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, Mr. Kraus, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, I)own ing-street, with despatches from die Right lion. Stratford Canning, our Ambassador at Constantinople. Mr. Kraus also brought despatches from the Right Hon. Henry Wel leiley, the British Ambassador at Vienna, dated up to the 6th instant. Mr. Kraus attended Mr. Stratford Canning from Eng land to Constantinople, in the Revenge, 74 gun ship. Thty had a very perilous voyage, particularly in the Archipe lago, where they saw a frigate sink. They had only ar rived three days in Constantinople when his Excaleucy, Mr. Stratford Canning, sent off the despatches brought by Mr. Kraus. Mr. Crotch, the King's Messenger, was sent off on Friday evening with despatches for the Right Hon. Frede rick Lamb, our Ambassador at Madrid. The following extract is from a letter received by the last packet from Monte Video:— " MONTE VIDEO. Jax. 110.-11 have lately passed through fie Brazilian and the Patriotic and Buenos Ayrian eneimpments. The Patriots have bad WlTleseccesses ; they have cut off the corn. !minimums between the Brazilian encampment and Monte Video ; tile former is about four league from the town. About three weeks since. COY of the Brazilian troops deserted the cause of the Em. ror and joined the Patriots, on the Brazilian frontier. The Brailian naval force here constms of three corvettes, three brigs, three schooners, and two gun-brigs. The Buenos Arrian force is one corvette, two brigs, one schooner, and thirteen gun.brigs. The Brazdians do cot show much heart in the war. The Briton, Sir M. Maxwell. is daily expected here from Valparaiso, and will pro ceed direct foe England. The IVellesley, 74 (Sir George Eyre), is lytng bees." The following is an extract from a letter dated Ilermn els, February lo.—The Royal Oak is arrived with General Sir H. Turner, our new governor, family, and suite, after thirty-six days passage from Spithead. The Dromedary is also arrived, with four hundred convicts, to be employed in improving this naval port. The station has been very dull this winter: the English mail of December, arrived only yesterday. We have here, besides the Jupiter (flag- Ship), the Niemen, Orestes, Doterell, and Clinker; the Menai. is wintering at Halifax; Grasshopper, at New foundland; the Rifleman is daily expected from Halifax. The squadron in very healthy. Peatstragrute Pallortaata.—EsTrythingconnected with the classic regions of Greece, once the cradle of genius and the nurse of science, must naturally excite a feeling of deep interest; but the present awful situation of that unfortu trite country, when its existence as a separate nation, or us complete subjugation to the power of the 'Crescent, has become a question of painful anxiety, renders every circum stance connected with it of paramount interest. The Panorama now exhibiting at 70, Great St. Martin's-lane, descriptive of the defeat of the Turks by the Greeks, is eminently calculated to awaken the sympathies of a gene rous nation in favour of those whose ancestors fought at Marathon and Thermopyle, and whose gallant but' hithato unsucceessful struggles for liberty and indepen dence prove that " the olden spirit," which impelled the tires ro resist and ultimately defeat the mighty hosts of Persia. is not quite exti.set in their sons. One of the pa noramic views of the Council Chamber of the renowned Ali Pacha is painted by a Greek artist named Agna.sti nous. It is executed in a showy style, but evinces consi derable power and richness of colouring. The other views are finished with more care than is always discernible in the painting of a moving panorama. The most studied attention to costume, too, is preserved in all the views, and corms a distinguishing feature, which, joined with the 4 1virl description of the mode of warfare pursued by the 4 :reeks, renders this exhibition in every way worthy of public attention.

CODIETT rx rAKLIAMENT.—Lord Cloncurry has sub scribed qO/. towards the fund about to he raised for the purpose of procuring Cobbett a seat in Parliament.

Two hundred are at pre sent engaged on the roads, and other works, in the neigh bourhood of Paisley. Sight hundred families, and forty seven individuals, have, during the last, week, been re lieved in the town alone, by the distribution of provisions. A proportional number have been similarly assisted in the Abbey parish. In Johnstone, thirty-four families, and in Kilbarchan eleven have been supplied during the same period. There are in the parish of Lochwinnock, about forty persons without occupation. These, we are happy to say, expect, through the benevolent endeavours of the neighbouring gentlemen, to be employed in the course of next week. A farther sum of 145/. having been allotted :o cases of instant and urgent necessity, we deem it our duty to state, that the Committee are unanimous in declaring, that they cannot employ any additional moiety of their funds for the purpose of affording either pecuniary ali mentary relief. Let the operatives, then, as we before suggested, bestir themselves in endeavouring to obtain work upon the premium.—Paisley Advertiser. SERIOUs A reltA y.—Yesterday morning another of those disgraceful Sunday quarrels which so frequently happen among the lower classes of Irish, occurred in filoucester.street, I.ambeth. The natives of two provinces in Ireland (Connaught and Leinster) had agreed to fight, and as early as eight o'clock began to muster, and before eleven not less than a thousand had assembled. A fight then cemmenced, to the term, of the peaceable inhabitants. and the constables were called in to quell the not, when several of the ringleaders wera consigned to the Surrey watch-house. One poor fellow was found lying dreadfully hurt by the blows inflicted upon him. and was conveyed. in • hackney coach, to one of the Borough liospitals. Several others were much injured. The par ties fought with short sticks, and threw missiles. such as brick-bats. at each other. The constables, although resisted powerfully by the combatants, fortunately escaped with some trivial blows. About two o'clock ten men were taken, chained together, front the Surrey watch-house, there not being sufficient room to hold all the party who were in custody, to Lambeth watch-house, followed by an immense crowd. This morning an investigation into the affray will take place at Union-Hall. THE BRITISH PRESS ARTISTS' GENERAL. IIk:NEVOLENT INSTI- TUTION. On Saturday the Eleventh Anniversary of this Inalbution Wag held at the Freemasons' Tavern—the Hight Honourable the Earl of Liverpool in the Chair. His Lordship was supported by Sir Charles Long, Sir Henry Rus , ell, Hart., Sir Thomas Lawrence, and the principal Royal Academicians. The number of persons present amounted to about one hundred. As Bonn as the cloth was removed, " Non nobis Pennine " was charmingly sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Pyne, Bellamy, &c. After his Maj•sty's health had been drunk, " God save the King" was sung by the same Gentlemen. " The Duke of York and the Army," was followed by the glee, " flail, Star of Brunswick !" as was the health of the Duke of Clarence by " Rule Britannia. " " The health of the Royal Family" was succeeded by the band performing the air of '• La the darem la mano," whether by acci. dent or design we know not, but it certainly was very applicable. After " The health of the Duke of Sussex, the Patron of the lusui. tution," had been given, 'Lord Livenroo I, rase, and said that he had great pleantre in rising to propose the next toast. Not a single year passed away without the benefit of the increasing taste for the arts being felt by the country. This might be seen in all our manufacturing inatitu. lions, where the influence of painting and sculpture had had the effect of most decidedly improving the national taste. It was im. lossible, however, th a t any br a nch of the a r ts cou ld succeed, un. ess proper encouragement was given to them all. It was impos. Bible to look at the efforts of artists without feeling that, however strong their abilities might be. they might fail from the accidents .f fortune, of health, or a variety of other causes. They might be cut off b 7 . death at that period of their labours, when they were exercising their talents to the advantage of themselves, their families, and their country ; leaving their wives and children ex posed to that distress which every alfe , tionata mind must deplore. the ohject of the Institution which they had met that day' to cele brate, was to affird relief' in such cases. It had already produced much good, but not all the good which could be wished ; and that arose from its not being sufficiently known, or, it' known, not enough impressed upon the minds of those who favoured the Arts. On the formation of the Institution it was wisely considered that a certain fund should be established sefore the full scale of benefit should be imparted. The amount of it was fixed at the sum of and it was determined that until that sum could be realised only half the amount of annuities should be afforded to those who needed it, and the other half funded. He was happy to see by the accounts that had been submitted to the Company that the sum had nearly reached that amount ; but as it was not fully accom. plished, it became the more necessary to make increased exertions to effect that by which double relief would be afforded. It was under those circumstances that he made that appeal in favour of the widows and families of men of genius, as well as for those ar. tists who from age anti want required the fostering hand of bone ' volence. He would not say more than make his earnest appeal to the present company, and through th e m to t h e p u bl i c, i n favour of that class of men who had claim on all, but more particularly on the higher orders, for the improvement they had made in the n a . tiohal taste, and the benefits they had thereby infused through all departments of the manufactures or the country. His Lordship concluded by proposing the " Prosperity of the Artists' General Benevolent Institution." (Much cheering.) Sir THOMAS LAW RE NC E said the pleasant task that the stew ards had imposed upon him was, to propose the health of their noble Chairman, the valuable friend of the society, who had, at the risk of his health, that day favoured them with hi s c o mp an y, i n order to benefit the institution. The applause which followed this announcement lasted several minutes. Lord Liv ettroot. returned his best thanks for the honour the company had done him, and considered himself most amply repaid for any little attention he hail it in his power to afford, If it con duced to the service of the institution ; and concluded by observing that he had peculiar pleasure in proposing the health of Sir Thomas Lawrence and the Royal Academy. Sir THOMAS LAlvitExcE returned thanks, and laid that whatever might be the petty differences of the parties that were em barked in the two institutions. he hoped they would act in union, their work being that of benevolence, in which the Royal Academy heartily concurred. Thikealth of the Marquis of Stafford was drank with great ap plsuse: Lord LIVERPOOL rose to propose the health of a gentleman to whom the arts were much indebted ; there was no person to whom they owed a greater obligation than Sir Charles Long. (Great ap plause.) sir CHARLES Logo returned thanks to his Noble Friend and the company, and assured both that no person had felt greater de light in the contemplation of works of art than he had done ; and that nonehad more sincerely their welfare and advancement at heart. Their meeting that day wan for the most gratifying pur pose, being that of general benevolence. He observed a paper on the table from the teller society, proposing a union between them, and he hoped that that union would take place. The characteristic of benevolence was generality, and therefore ought not to be confined to particular objects. It, however, that union did not take place, he would exerci,e his influence, however feeble soviet It might be, in support of both. This was the first time he had had the pleasure of attending their meeting, but certainly it would sot be the last ; and he never could have had greater plaque than in attending with his Noble Friend (Lord Liverpool) who wax so anxious in the promotion ofgevery institution of benevolence in the country (Much cheering.) Lord LIVERPOOL said that he was happy to find that a Royal Academy of Nintine had been formed in Dublin, he would there fore propfte the health of Francis Johnson, Esq. the president, and success to that institution. The announcement of Sir Charles Long as Chairman for the next anniversary, ended forth the loudest applause. The Noble Chairman retired about 10 o'clock, amidst the hearty cheers of the meeting. Messrs. Broadhurst. Pyne, Bellamy, Fitz william, &c. amused the compsny with several songs and glees, and the band of one of the regiments of the guards played during dinner and at intervals during the evening. The gallery was filled with ladies. SECOND DAY'S SALK OF LORD BER WICK'S PICTURES.

N., landed here from Rangoon, Calcutta, and the Cape of Good Hope, charged with despatches of great importance from India, relative to the resump. tion of hostilities with the Burmese, in the territory of Ava, and the commencement of a war, of • very formidable nature, at Mort pure. Lieutenant Lowe, left Commodore Sir Brisbane on the 13th November at Prome, conducting the naval part of the operations against the Burmese, with the utmost energy. He had armed all the boats of the squadron, and taken them up the river, to be em. ployed in co.operation with the Army. The Champion. 18. Cap. tam Studdert. had arrived with despatches from England ; as had the 87th Regt. from Calcutta, and the Golconda, with a reinforce. ment of troops from Madras. Capt. J. Alexander, C.B. of his Ma. jest'', ship Alligator, died at Prome on the 11th of Nov., after a se vere illness. produced by fatigue. Lieut. W. Duke, Mr. W. A ys cough, Purser, an Assistant Surgeon, • Mid s hip man , an d I I sea men of the B oadicea, had recently died of cholera morbux, and foray seamen of that ship had been removed into the Lord Lynndoch, convalescent ship. The Boadicea, in consequence of these casual. ties, had removed down the river. Captain Chads, of the Arachne, had taken the command of the Alligator, and Lieu;. J. F. Daw son was promoted to the rank of Commander, and appointed to the Arachne, but was afterwards killed in action with the enemy. Gen. Morrison and Brig.. Gen. sl'ltea, had been obliged by ill health to leave the Arracan division of the army to return to Eng. land. Commodore Hayes (of the Bombay Marine) was collecting a flotilla of gunboats at the Sand Heads, with which he was to proceed to co-operate with the Arracan army. Lieut. Lowe brought accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the Rth of Feb. Lord C. Somerset was preparing to return to England ; the Rainbow was daily expected from England, with Gen. Bourke, the Lieut.-Go vernor. The Owen Glendower (Commodore Christian), slartin,and Helicon, were at the Cape. We have not only to notice the rupture of the armistice, and re newal of hostilities by the Burmese. on the borders of the south east part of our Indian territory, and the commencement of a war at Bhurtpore, in Central India. but, we regret to learn, the appre hemtion that another powerful enemy has started up at Cutch, which is northward of Bombay, near to the I'ersian frontier. Fite ship Britannia, Capt. Wm. Bourchier, arrived here on Monday, which voided from Bombay on the 25th November. Previous to her leaving that settlement, a force under Col. Napier, of the 6th regimer t of foot, consisting of six regiment, of Sepoys, one regi. ment of native cavalry, anti a troop of horse artillery, had marched to Cutch, the Ameers (or Chiefs) of Sind having evinced the most turhulent and warlike disposition. The exneriment of a steam-voyage to India. as performed by the packet Enterprise (Johnston), has not answered the expecta tion formed of it. The Enterprise arrrived in Sauget Roads, Calcutta, in 32 days from the Cape, and 115 days front Falmouili, /18 days of which she was actually at sea. The Medusa frigate (Sir J. Gore), performed the distance in 81 days. Wednteday the Vittoria transport, Lieutenant J. C. Grigg, arrived from Malta, in 32 da7s, bringing a mail. The Reveng-, 71, Vice-Admiral Sir H. Neale, had left Malta, for Naples, accompanied by the Sybille; the Naiad had sailed fur Corfu, to take Lady Adam to Ancona; the Cambrian, and Gannet, were in the Archipelago; the Rose was tinder orders for Smyrna; the Chanticleer and Weazle were at Zante. We fear that the loss of the Algerine, Capt. C. %Veymss, may be considered as confirmed the wreck of topmasts, empty casks, &c. hail been picked ap near Hydra, off which island it was, nine wades previously ; she was met In a sudden violent squall of wind, by which, it was supposed, she wan upset, and every soul perished. A King's Messenger had recently arrived at Malta. in only eleven days from London. with despatches for Sir 11. Neale. He was nine days reaching Zante, and 'he Naiad took him thence in two days to Malta. The arrival of the Marquis of Hastings was daily expected at Malta. The Sovereign, Cato, and Vibilia transports, may be daily expected with Ordnance stores from Malta. The Rgginton arrived at Gibraltar on the 21st ult. Monday the Speke transport, Ir;eirnant G. Gecourdesux, ar. rived from St. Licht, with the Ist division of the bth Regiment. under Major Symeockes, having completed their seven years' service in the West Indies. The Iris. 64). Captain Patton. had arrived at Barhadoes from Jamaica. The Rev. Mr. Jeston and family, front Barbadoes, came passengers. On the passage the schooner Jane, of Plymouth. laden with oranges, ran under the bows of the Speke, in the night, and went down. She was from St. Michael's; her crew (six men) were saved, but one was severely hurt. On Sunday the Borodino transport arrived from the lonian Islands, with detachments of rainotin regiments, and the following officers :--Captain Caims, 3fith : Captain Durie, 12th ; Captain Hawley, 51st ; Lieutenant Skinner. 7th ; Lieutenant Liardet and Doctor Scott, 36th ; Ensigns Griffin, 32d, Webster, 34th, Dtinsmere, 42J. The Borodino has since nailed for Chatham. The Dryad frigate, Hon. Captain R. Rodney, arrived on Mon day from Chatham, and has been ordered to be fitted to take to Rio Janeiro the Hon. Robert Gordon. his 31ajesty's Envoy Ex traordinary mid Minister Plenipotentiary to the Emperor of Brazil. Captain R. Tait has commissioned the Heron, 1/ at this port, for the South American station ; and Lieutenant C. English, the Contest, for the North American station. Lieutenant St. John is appointed to the Dove packet ; Mr. panther to be Purser of the Ordinary, at Chatham ; Mr. Corbitt to be Boatswain of the Dock yard at Antigua. Remain at Spithead—Dryad, Jasper. In the Harbour—Victory, Ganges, Melville. Spartiate, Ariadite, Heron, Espiegle, Pnilornel, Contest. On Thursday Intimate convicts were transhipped from the hulks at this place, to on board the Earl St. Vincent. for Van Dieman's Land. T. Savage, late a publican at Milton, transported for horse. stealing ; and Vigar, a young medical student, for shoplifting, are among the number. Detachments of the following Regiments have landed this week, front the West Indica :-9th Font, and proceeded to Stockton ; 35th ['lot, to Winche.ter ; 27th Foot, to Govan ; sth Foot. to Fort Cumberland. A detachment of the 36th Foot has sailed for Chatham. The first country bank is said to have been established at Gloucester in 1714, by Mr. James Wood, whose son, an eccentric individual of great age and immense wealth, still carries on the same. STEAM Vessei.s.—ln a Court held on Tuesday, by the Baillie of the river Clyde, several persons, masters of steam-boats, were fined for contravening the salutary regu lations lately enacted by the Magistrates and Council. Two were fined each in the mitigated penalty of W. 10s., for having, on Thursday morning, failed to stop the en gines when the one boat was attempting to pass the other, on which occasion the boats came in collision ; and two were fined for not putting off the steam when passing the dredging machine then at work near Renfrew ferry.

BROWN, WARDEN OF THE FLEET, APPELX.ANT, AND THE CHURCH-WARDEN!{ AND ovLasztos ot THU TARIM OF ST. 'mines, RF.SPONDEN ta. Mt. Borrastri stated the cede to the Court, and obsetved that this was an appeal or, the part of the Warden of the Fleet Pnann, against an assessment sought to be made and levied by the Perish Officers of Saint Bride's in Fleet-street. In making this appeal. Mr. Brown by no means wished to he captious, nor did he wish tr. avoid paying a fair and equitable proportion of parochial' rases; but situated as he was, it was incionbent on him to take care that het guarded against innovation, and that his successor should not have to complain that he had quiescently yielded to an impost, with which his predecessor was unacquainted. The property upon which this levy was made consisted of a great Marr of looms, consti. toting the Fleet Prison, the H'arden's house and other nects.sry ofa aces and buildings; and it was for the Court to obsdrie, that Mr. Brown, as the occupier of these per miens, (for such in fact he was), stood in a situation widely different to any other person in the pa: rash. By a clause in the Act 39 Geo. 111. It was 'rot:tied that the Parish should be relieved from certain liabilities, *Mai might be consequent upon tbe locality of the Fleet Prison, aft that, as he (Mr. B.) apprehended, no particular burden could he brought upon it. The great question for consideration was, is Mr. Brown fairly and equitably rated, or ought he to be' liable to s heavier impost ? For 43 years past the assessment had been upon 2601., which the Parish now wanted to advance to COW. The beamed Counsel would call witnesses to prove that the income arising from the premises in question.but barely exceeded 3011!. a year, out of which the Warden had to provide and pay a Chaplin and other 00Icer., and also to make other expensive provisions for the con. venience and comfort of his inmates. After making some remarks upon the hardship, he had almost said injustice, of the measure, the Learned Oentlenian called witnesses in support of the ap. peal. Mr. Wm. Wondroffe stated that he Is a iipstaft to the Barns of the Exchequer, and had been for twenty years clerk of the papers to the late Warden (Mr. Nixon), and coosequenity In possession of full knowledge relative to all particulars relating to the present in. quiry. There are 109 rooms in the prison, and the Warden is re. etricted from taking more than 15d. a week for each. abe her they are occupied by more than one person or otherwise. Supposing they were all let upon these terms, which was not the case at some seasons of' the year, the annual rental would - not exceed 310/. which was subject to (oases and deductions. 'fhe witness then stated that the Warden had to pay a Chaplain. Clerk, &c. which was an ex. petite of about 6111. a year, and he had to provide fuel for the public kitchen, and to light the prison, which, by a report laid before the Commissioners in 1016. was estimated at 1;0/. a year. Supposing the rooms all to be occupied, losses frequently arose owing to the poverty of the prisoner, or from other causes. Beyond the tooms alluded to, there was the dwelling-house for the Warden's separate residence, and a public office. as also a public coffee-room, tap, and other offices for the use and convenience °, the prisoners. By Mr. BRODERICK—If the al arden had no other advantages than those derived from his dwelling-house and the room rents, his office would be • very poor one. The prison would doubtless fetch mush more were it brought into market. Does not know of his own knowledge that wine is sold in the prison. There is a pub. lie tap, and perhaps three butts of porter may besold weekly. Only knew by report that Mr. Brown appealed against the land tax. Mr. Brown, jun. examined by Mr. BoLsastri--Witness hi the son of Mr. Brown, the Warden, and has acted as his deputy since his appointment. There are 11.09 rooms In the prison subject to rental, and the current account for the last eight years are in Coon. Mr. Marshall—ls private tipstaff and clerk to the Warden. Witness produced an account of twelve months' rental, including part of the year 1822, it was 320/.145. 4d. the folloving 317/.2.. 3d. and the produce of last year was 21331. 13.. 9d. ; forming an overage of 307!. 16s. 9d. Beyond the outgoings already stated, there is 18L a year paid to the New River Company, for a supply of armee to the prison. . _ Mr..Bnonentcx said that if his Learned Friend inquired re. lative to the outgoings, it would be for him to inquire about the incomings. Mr. Brown, jun., re-examined—His father's family consisted of eight or nine persons. The house attached to the prison would be a very inconvenient and improper residence for the female branches of the family. . _ Woo'drofre 4 to a yiestion by Mr. Baonkn t c a , sa id t h e late Warden lived there, hut he had no family. Mr. West. a collector of taxes and rates, proved that the War. den's house was rated at 1:10/.; the proposal was to increase the iii%%essmeta from 200/. to 6tlo/., and then it would not be rated at half its actual value. Witness had some recollection that Mr. Brown appealed against the assessment in 11122. Mr. BRODERICK, for the respondents, contendetl, at great length, that the parish were not to be guided in their assessment. by the amount of the annual rental, but according to the actual value of the property. supposing it a marketable article. The Learned Gentleman cited a case from Barnwell's Reports, p. 500, relative to the Birmingham Gas Light Company, where not only the Lord Chief Justice, but Mr. Justice Bayley and Mr. Justice 1101royd, were agreed upon the subject. The only question for consideration was, ought Mr. Bn•vrn, or ought he not, to be rated according to the value of the property, instead of on the income of which it is the source ? 111 r. Pitcher, a surveyor, stated that he hail taken a survey of the prison, arid made an estimate of its value. The witness de. tailed the mode on which he made his calculation, and its result, Ile would himself give L2OOl. a. ear for the place in its present state, and should thereby be enabled to clear 4001. a.year by it, ea, after making every deduction, it would realise 1,6001. a-year. 11Ir. Deakea, another surveyor, had made his eatitnate, and he coincided with the last witness as to the value of the premises, Jr.l ROLLAND addressed the Court upon the evidence, and re plied upon the arguments advanced on the other side. His Learned Friend had compared the Fleet prison to a gas factory and such like establishments, but instead of their being analagous, they were as dissimilar as possible. This prison belonged to Government, and the Warden is an officer of the Crown; the comparisou of his Learned Friend was therefore idle, if not ridiculous. That the pro. petty was worth beyond what it realized, there was no doubt ; but it should be remembered that the Warden was restricted by law from taking beyond a certain rental, It was ridiculous, therefore, to talk of 12001. when the realised income did not amount to 31111., and his Learned Friend, before lie made cnmparisons, should lint show that the things were fit to be compared. He appealed to-the Court whether the doctrine laid down was not fallacious, and whether the principle proposed for adoption, would not, if carried into effect, inflict a great hardship upon his client. Upon these grounds, the Learned Gentleman hoped that the appeal would be allowed. The RECOUDER having combed the Aldermen on the Bench, observed, that the Court had heard the arguments of Counsel, aod
