Prelate and his Patrons, and must prove highly satisfactory to every sincere friend of our venerated Church Establishment ; for no political in terest had the slightest influence in the nomination to the vacant Bishopric.

The 2d European Regiment is expected to leave Ca Berhounpore about the 12th or 13th. Boab are very scarce, and such as tun be got are very small. We have had some rain lately, which bae relieved us In a great measure from the opprsr.ive heat. The epidemic, which noted here and at Bunkipore s.. reverely, has nearly disappeared ; but It has been sm.. seeded by the cholera morbus, which carries nil a considerable number hi the dame daily. MoNTRnEE, MARcii 31.—Our ships destined for the Straits fishing are ready fur sea, and will sail as soon as an accommodation takes place between the owners and seamen respecting their wages. The owners, on account of the unsuccessful fishery last season, resolved to take three pence off the ton of oil money. The owners of other ves sels, because freights are lower, wished also to reduce the wages ; but the seamen, without entering into any com bination, each separately following the dictates of his own interest, have refused to accept of these terms. This is exactly the way that masters and men should treat with one another respecting their wages. Masters cannot be blamed for endeavouring to get their work done at as cheap a rate as they can. Neither can there he any blame at tached to the men for endeavouring to sell their lahour as high as possible. The peaceable manner in which the sea men are bargaining for their wages is certainly praise worthy. An accommodation has taken place with some, and to these settlements no interruption is given by the body of outstanding seamen. All our ships for Davis' Straits have sailed this morning, although the crews of some of them are not complete. Three of our vessels sailed this week for the Baltic. We are happy to learn, that already upwards of a dozen have obtained freights for the same quarter. Freights are lower than they were last summer; but a ship-owner informs us that they are fully higher than was expected. A good summer's trade is c;:lculated upon bete.-21fast , ore Chrimicle. 4 3 ti V THE BRITISH PRESS, LIVERPOOL POVT-OFFICE. Post-Office, Idiverpool, April 3, MG.

On Wednesday a meeting of the Magistracy of the county wa , held at the King's Brat Inn, Stowmarket, to take into considera tion the propriety of establishing there a Lunatic Asylum; T. S. Gooch, Esq. in the Chair. This meeting was attended by Lord Calthorpe, Sir Wm. Rowley, Sir W. E. Middleton, T. B. Western, Esq., C. Berms, Esq. &c. &c. It was stated that there are in the country 11$ lunatics, the aims Con of many of whom, the Chairman said, was disgraceful to the county, and that, if the object could be carried into effect without much expense, there ought to be a Lunatic Asylum established. A favourable opportunity now presented itself 6y the purchase of Melton House of Industry. Sir W. ROWLEY objected ro Melton House ' as, from its SIOI2- lion, it would he difficult there to obtain the best medical assist. once. He therefore proposed that the farther consideration of the subject be postponed. Petitions were then presented fl-om the hundreds of Bosmere, Claydon, Sandford, Colneis, Carlford, and Cosford, praying that they might not be subjected to the expense of the proposed under taking; and Sir W. F. Middleton and C. limners, Esq. expressed their intention of supporting a resolution of pmstponement. It was the opinion of the latter gentleman, as well of some of the other Magistrates, that a local establishment was unnecessary, while the county had the means, as they had, of sending lunatics to the seve ral asylums in London. Lord Calthotpe, on the other hand, con. tended in favour of local establishments. • Sir W. MIDDLETON then proposed a resolution of postpone ment, which was seconded by Mr. BERNERS. Lord CALTHORPE moved, u an addition to the resolution, that the postponement should be till October next. He had not so bad an opinion, he said, of the landed and commercial interests of the county as to suppose that they would not, before a long time had elapsed, accede to the proposed measure. it appeared to him that just now they were in a panic. A. H. STEWARD, Esq. wished the time to be extended to Oc tober twelvemonth, when the Corn Law question would be deter mined; and Mr. BEHNEkS then moved that the postponement should be till the Midsummer Sessions, 1827. Sir W. 311 ODLE. TON seconded this proposal, and a division took place, when there appeared for Lord Calthorpe'a motion 6, against it 8. Mr. Deniers' resolution was accordingly carried. NATIONAL GUARDIAN INSTITUTION. Yesterday. a Board of Directors, and a Committee of Ladies, were held at this useful and benevolent Institution, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the office of Matron, when twenty ap peared for the situation, each bringing numerous testimonials from persons of the highest rank and respectability. After a patient and mature consideration of the respective merits and capabilities for the situation of each individual, the following were selected as candidates : ___. fills. Prances Barnes, Mrs. Alice Beach, Mrs. Hamilton Hall, Mrs. Martha Manley, and Mrs. Frances Paul. The election is hied to take place no Wednesday, the 10th of May next, when respectable shopkeepers, in and around the me tropolis, willing to promote the general objects of the Institution, will likewise be elected as District Agents, on commission, for that purpose. Public opinion of the necessity of an establishment which should conduce at once to ameliorate the condition of distressed servants, as well as to afford a stimulus to the preservation of their good elm racier, is evident from the tact of this yet infant undertaking hay ing, in less than one year, obtained the support of above five hun dred subscribers. The number of vacant situations for every de scription of servants, entered during the same period, considerably exceeds one thousand. il4 the success/0 this laudable institution must tend eventually to incresse domestic comfort, by improving the conduct of servants, we sincerely hope its present favourable prospect well be fully realized. INDEPENDENT GAS COMPANY. On Tuesdays Meeting of the Shareholders in the above Company was held at the City of London Tavern. Alt. TOWNSEND, a Director, apologized for the absence of Counsellor Prendergast, the Chairman of the Company, who had promised to take the Chair, and moved that Joseph Gratten, Esq., should take the Chair. This being acceded to, Mr. IVooDwell n. Secretary, at the request of the Chairman, read the circular which was sent to the Proprietors, which stated that an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders should be held, for the purpose of confirming the act of the Directors in the forfeiture of Shares; to declare certain Directors disqualified,whose Shares had not been paid ; to receive the Report of the Company ; and to consider and determine upon a proposal which should be submitted for Increasing the capital ; and also to elect Directors. Dlr. Tor/Ns END said, that the Directors felt great regret in be ing under the necessity of calling upon the Meeting to confirm the resolution which they had been compelled to adopt towards those Shareholders who had not complied with the provisions of the deed in paying up the calls, notwithstanding the indulgence shown to wards them, and that had the instalments been regularly paid by those who were now defaulters, the Directors would not be under the necessity of increasing the amount of the capital of the Company. . _ . . A S lAREHOLDER thought such a mode of proceeding calcu lated to embroil the shtreholders in n Chancery suit, and requested the Secretary to read the clause which empowered the Directors to forfeit the shares. The SECRETARY read the clause. A SII AR Elf °LIMB requested to know the defaulters' names, and the amount paid upon the Shares forfeited. The Directors had, he said received a salary, and they ought to forfeit that salary, or at least half, and he moved a resolution to the foregoing effect. Mr. Tow NS E n said, as the present meeting was not competent to entertain the resolution proposed—and that, after the suspicions that were thrown out against the Company, it was absolutely ne cessary that the meeting should confirm the forfeiture of the Shares before the report was read—the Directors had acted in precise con. fortuity with the feeling expressed at the last meeting. The Sh en Est °toe a said, the measure proposed by the Directors was calculated to get the Company into Chancery. Ile protested against an increase of capital, and concluded by again putting his resolution, which recommcoded a milder course than forfeiture._ Mr. RuonEs wished the Resolution should be read passed at the last meeting, authorising the forfeiture of the shares. A SIIAREIII7IIDER in.ketrthe Secretary (who is a legal gentle man), whether or not the Company was likely to be embroiled in a Chancery suit, by adopting the proceedings recommended. WTOODWARD, the Secretary would not involve his pro. Cessionsl character by giving an opinion. He then read the reso lution, empowering the Directors to forfeit the shares, after one month's notice. A SHAREHOLDER suggested that the opinion of Counsel should be taken upon the resolution proposed. Air. Tow ):seNn deprecated the discussion, as calculated to do injury to the Company : if the deed did not contain a penalty, how was it possible to carry into effect the original design. The Clime max then put the amendment, which was lost, and the original resolution was carried. Air. RHODES moved that the Directors should have power to reinstate such persons as they might think proper.—Carried.

The Learned Oentleman concluded by observing that stage and other coachmen 1)61(11 themselves on being ahk to turn a corner with rapidity, and thus display their dexterity, which was, to say the least of it, extremely censurable. and had been, in se veral instances, the cause of serious accidents, There was one dreadful instance of the kind upon 'record, it was, that astdch had happened to her late :Majesty, when the carriage, in tent ing a sharp corner near beatberbead„ was overturned.

CAPE& Mr. Bnounttsm staiedtheca;e to from which it ap that this was an action arising out of a promissory note, C a VOL given by the plaintiff to a professional gentleman of the name of King, to prevent an indictment for perjury against his brother. The note in question was dated " Lincoln, 18th Jan. 1825, pay. able six months after date, to Mr. King's order." On its being presented, where it was made payable at the drawer's. No. 8, Holburn-court, Gray's_inn, it was refused payment, the defendant's brother contending that he had been induced to give it under a threat of a prosecution from which he had nothing to tear. He said that he should resist the payment, and in consequence of that refusal the present action wag brought. The bill had been endorsed, but not paid away. His LORDSHIP said, that the note being obtained under a threat of a criminal proceeding, the plaintiff could not legally recover; and hinted, that he thought if the party pressed his case to the Jury, the result might end in an application to the Court of King's Bench to strike the party off the Roll. 3lr. BROUGHAM, on the part of his client, acquiesced in his Lordship's suggestion, although, he said, he had another to fear on that head. Tl,e plaintiff was accordingly "called." Several causes being deferred, the Ast.izes rather abruptly ter minated, precisely twenty minutes before two o'clock when his Lordship thanked the Jury for their attention, and said they were discharged.

VICE.CRANCEELOWS COURT. rxrAatt SOLARTE ANTI OTHERS, IN THE MATTER VS JAMES DAKIELL, A BANKRUPT. This was a petition by Jose Ventura de A guvire Solute, Thomas Abell, and Anulnio de Arroyave, assignees of Joaquin Rutz de Alzedn, a bankrupt, to he allowed to prove a debt of 55,3161. Ills. upon the esta:e of James Daniell, a bankrupt. The facts of the cue appeared to .be, that the bankrupt Allied., had, between the years 1823 and discounted bill. for various persons, through the agency of one Hollingworth Bromley, to the amount of nearly a million sterling, and among others for the bankrupt Daniell to a very large amount, from whoa there was claimed to be due to the assignees of Mr. Alzedo the sum they now sought by their petition to be at liberty to prove. The subject was stated to hive been anxiously discussed before the Cooarats sionere by Counsel on both sides, and the Commissioners, after ex amining Mr. Alzedo and Mr. Brantley at fourteen private meet ings. rejected the proof. rn answer to the petition, it was stated by the Counsel for the assignees of Daniell's estate, that it was evident from the depositions to a hich they referred ip confirmation, that his honor must confirm the Commissioners' decision, for that it had been proved before the Commissioners, that in order to induce Mr. Alzedo to discount (among others) all the bills comprised in the above amount of 55,316/. lea, Burnley and Alzedo had entered into an agreement, woereby the latter was, in addition to the legal interest of 5 per cent., to retain upon all occasions a further sum equivalent to 2 or 3 per cent. for the nominal purpose of discharging • certain rery large debt due upon certain Bills of Exchange from one John Hill Wagstaff, deceased, to him (A Inch)), to which, however, he (Bramley) was in nowise liable, and the amount whereof he did not even know. This, it was contended by the Counsel for Daniell's estate, was a mete color for usury, and that therefore the Commis eioners were right in er ecting the claims. His Hofroit, after hearing at great length Counsel on both sides, observed, the present was a inomentou case, and one which clearly came within the province of 5 jury of merchants, and there fore ordered that the matter should be tried by an issue at law, in which the assignees of Alzedo should be plaintiM i and the assignees of Daniel's. defendants. The question to be triel should be, whe ther, at the time of Daniell's bankruptcy, there was any, and what, debt due to the estate of Alzedo fern Mr. Daniell. CORONERS' INQUESTS. An inquest was held on Tuesday night, at the house of Slr. Knapp, chemist. Southwark.road, on the body of Mra. E. Knapp, his wife, who destroyed herself by taking oxalic acid, on fitaturday last. Evidence was produced to show that the deceased had pee•i. ously exhibited abetration of mind, and the Jury returned a verdict of Insanity:* Another inqueo was held the sante night at the King's Arms Tap, llanelagh•road. Mil'bank. on the body of Alexander Ro bertson, a young 6entleman, aged only 17, who drowned himself in the river Thames on the 25th February last. The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary derangement." On Saturday morning last the warehouse of Mr. Nichol son Vialey, drysalter, of Duke-street, in this town, was discovered to have been entered, and a large quantity of Prussian blue carried away. As no means appeared by which the robbers could have effected an entrance into the premise•, it was presumed that they must have let themselves in by means of false keys, and locked the dotes after them, when the rubbery was effected. New and addi tional locks were consequently put upon the doors, and the pre mises were considered sufficiently secure; but on Wednesday morning last it was found that they had again been entered, and an atempt made to break into the iron safe by blasting the lock with gunpowder, but it had not been successful. It appeared that a considerable quantity of powder had been introduced into the lock, but the greater part of it had fines down to the bottom of the door, and did not ignite whet fire was applied to the keyhole. A portion of the charge hail exploded, but it was too tonal ict quantity to produce any effect upon the lock. Ad no mode of awit or entrance was still apparent, and the locks were of too good a kind to be opened by false keys, it is supposed that the thieves had concealed themselves in the warehouse the preceding evening, and slipped out again in the morning. aim , the doors were opened. which they would have no great difficulty in effeeting.—Mandies. kr Mr/ 4.
