Yesterday Parliament was dissolved till the 25th of July next ; and the Lord Chancellor was detained in his private room, this morning, tor some time before coming into Court, sealing the writs tor the election of new Members for next Parliament. WEI.I.F3LEY_T. BURS OF BEAUFORT. Mr. STIADW ELT begged to state, that as his Lordship was going nut of Court on Thursday, he (Mr. S.) was in the act of handing up an a ffi davit that hail been made by Mr. Pitman and some others, which they had thought necessary to make, but which the Court did not then receive. lie had now in his hand the original brief of the affidavits that had been marked by his Lordship, which he would now hand in to the Court ; and also the office copies of the different other affidavits that had been made on the part of the petitioners. He was likewise very anxious to set a matter right upon which there seemed to be some misunderstanding. There had been a correspondence between the Duke of Wellington and the Misses Long, In which the Duke had expressed his wish that a represen tation nude to the Court, namely, to keep the children whete they are, met with the approbation of all the family, was not quite cor rect. This correspondence was also constituted of one letter, writ ten by Mr. Hutcainson, the solicitor of the Misses Long ; and part of the last letter, written by the Duke, he (Mr. S. ) was te quested to state to the Court, in the very terms of the letter, only observing that the ratement complained of was made by him (Mr. S.) on the 11th of April : " The Duke of Wellington had consented to accept the guardianship of the children at the time the Lord Chancellor had ordered the Master to fix upon guaniiar a to take charge of then during the absence of their father. The Duke had, at the same time, for reasons not necessary to be dis cussed at present, desired to have nothing to say to any proceedings in Chancery upon this subject, or with a view of supporting the ap pointmeuts of a guardian, after the appointment of a guardian should be made under an order of the Court. It is, therefore, an error to say, that the Duke had ever expressed any wish or desire with respect to the result of this suit." After the Learned Counsel had read this from the Duke's own letter, he felt he should not be doing justice to Lord Maryborough and the Misses Long, if he did not proceed a little further. Mr. HART (with assumed surprise)—ls all this Mr. Welleaty'll case ? Mr. SHADRELL —Yes. Mr. Haar—Yes ' Mr. SHADRELL—Yes. Mr. HAUT—Rut how does it come on ? Mr. SITADWELL—Upon my statement. (lie Lonnsnt p—lt comes on sow, Mr. Ilart,just as you brought it en the other day, by saying you had received a letter from a mem ber of the family. Mr. HART—I merely stated, my Lord, that I had been requested to state a letter, from one of the family to your Lordship, which I did not think I could do. His LORDSHIP—You stated, that from that letter you under stood it was not the wish of all the family, that the representation made to the Court on a former occasion should be considered as correct; and Mr. Shadwell, in what he has now said, has only confirmed your statement. How far 1 can take any notice of either statement, made in this way, is another thing. Mr. HART—Then if Mr. Shadwell will now stop this till Tues day, it won't be the worse of cooling. Mr. SHADWELL—I only wish to state the matter in its true light, and from the very language of his Grace himself. Mr. HART—This Is newspaper arguMent. Mr. SIIADWELL—Mt. liiri, it is wish on my pan to state the cage correctly. Mr. HAUT—WeII, but won't it be better to delay yourstatement till Tuesday ? Mr. SIIADIVELL—I have only a few words more to address to the Court. 31r. HART--But this is what I certainly deprecate. His IsOlinsittr. —3lr. Shadwell hss only confirmed your state ment, Mr. hart, by saying the Duke of Wellington has been no party to the proceedings. 4 .1.31 r. HART—Then I presume Mr. Shadwell is instructed by the Duke to make this statement? Mr. SHADY:ELL—No, I am not. His Lon osuip—You go no further, Mr. Hart, than I dare say I should do if I were in your place: you consider that all this goes into the newspapers ; people read the newspapers, and then they wish to say something for themselves. Mr. HART—What your Lordship has just said respecting news. papers, presents my nicking any observation, which I other. wise should have done. Mr. .Hersh L I.—l am sure your Lordship will always allow a Counsel to set himself right, when it is imputed to him that he was fn an error. _ _ Alr. HART—This may be very fit and proper for the news. papers. His LORDSHIP—I believe it will tom out that what you have both said is 110 i worth a paragraph in the newspapers. Mr. SHADWEI.I.-31y Lord, I have the authority of the Duke of Wellmgton for stating what I have done ; and as he has repre. vented to the Misses Long that what I stated to your Lordship was not stated from sufficient instructions, it is right for me now to say, that what I represented was in consequence of a letter written by Lord Mar) borough to the Misses Long, in these terms:—" It mar lie well to inform you, that there is no branch of my family, with whom I hare communicated, that does not fully concur with me, in approbation of the views of the Misses Tilney . Long, and in reprobation of the conduct of Mr. Lung IVellesley. ' Now, if in what I stated I committed an error, it was only an error into which any body would have fallen upon reading these letters. Mr. HART—WeII, if I don't very much mistake, your Lordship till have another very important affidavit before Tuesday. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT-.SATURDAY, JUNE 3. JOHNSTONE. BART. V. NASTERTOW URE. ESQ . This motion, which was made by 31r. HoRWE on Friday, for the discharge of an order that had been obtained by the plamtiff; for referring back to the Master the interrogatories and examine. tine of the defendant for insufficiency, was renewed to-day, and Mr. HEALD and Mr. ‘WitlOur were heard at considerable length against the motion. The substance of their argument,' was, that an order of reference for insufficiency of an examination was, in every stage of the proceedings under that examination, previous to the every making his report, an order of course ; and they con. tended, that considerable inconvenience would result if a different i practice were to be establishes'. The VICE-CIiAMCEI:LOI stated his opinion to be, that after proceeding on the examination, such an order could not be ob tained as an order of course, but that the same ought to be moved for on motion. Mr. HoaNg—Tben your Honour discharges this order with coats ?

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, JUNE 3. C ERTIORA RI. Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a rule to chew cause why e writ of Certiorari should not issue, to remove en indictment front Stafford shire into this Court, for the purpose of entering a suggestion on the record, that a fair trial could not be had in that county. The indictment was against certain persons for a misdemeanor, In hav ing ill-treated a lunatic relative, by shutting him up in a dark MOM for a Brest many years, and depriving him of the necessaries of life, although ample provision had been made for him by his father's will. In consequence of the most inflamed and exagge rated publications respecting this trensactlon in the county of Staf ford, it was utterly impossible that the defendants could have a fair trial there; and it became necessary, with a view to the due admi nistration of justice, that the indictment should be removed, in order to a trial in some other county. Under the circumstances stated, a rule Nisi was greeted. - - THE ZING V. HARRISON. - This was a Quo IVarranto information against the defendant. calling upon hint to shew by what authority . he held the office of Mayor of the city of Chester. Several special pleas were pleaded, raising issues upon the immemoriality of the offices of Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Common Council respectively, of the city of Chester. At the trial before Mr. Baron Darrow, at the last Summer Assizes at Shrewsbury, a verdict was found for the Crown. In Michaelmas Term a rule Nisi was obtained for a new trial, on two grout.ds that the several issues on the record had not been distinctly left to the Jury by the Learned Judges and, se cond, that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. On Thursday cause was shown against the rule by Mr. CAMP BELL Mr. RUSSELL, and Mr. JERVIS; and this day the Court , after hearing Mr. W. E TAUNTON (with whom were Mr. R. G. CROSS and Mr. TTRIVIIITT), were clearly of opinion that the case ought to go down again to a new trial, in order that more light alight be thrown upon the cue by fresh evidence. Rule absolute. At one o'clock the Judges rose to meet their brethren in the Ex chequer Chamber. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JANE 3. THE NEW CUSTOM-HOUSE. TRU RING V. PETO. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to chew cause why a verdict thould not be entered for the Crown, on the issue found by the Jury against the defendant in this ease, and judg ment entered accordingly now ()Wank teredicht. This was a wire Acid, on a bond entered into by the defendant, jointly with another person now deceased, in the penalty of 33.000/. conditioned to build a Custom-house according to a certain specifi cation ; the Crown alleged a breach of the contract, inasmuch as the piles were not driven two feet into a stratum of gravel as required. The defendant replied, that he had performed the work to the satisfaction of Mr. Laing, the architect to the Commissioners of ' the Customs, as by contract bound, and that the works done were according to the specification, except where Mr. Laing had inter posed. The sum contracted for, to be paid, was 185.0001., but it was stipulated, that if in the progress of the works it should be deemed proper that some parts Mundtl be omitted, or more added, correspondent sums should be subtracted or added, as the case might be. Mr. SCARLETT said that the words of the contract were," that if any doubt should arise in the progress of the works respecting any parts thereof, the Commissioners of the Customs, or their architect, Mr. Laing, may determine on such articles as may or may not be dispensed with." The A T TORNEY-GENERAL seittl, that the bone had been en tered into with his Majesty, and that the Commissioners of the Customs were not empowered to authorize Mr. Laing to direct any alterations in what was required by the specification ; the words of the contract only gave him a discretionary power to omit sonic arti cles altogether he submitted that he was entitled either to enter up judgment for the Crown, on the grounds of the verdict el the Jury on the issue averting that a stratum of gravel could be found, or to a new trial on that issue, wherein the Jury found that Mr. Laing had authority to direct the driving of the piles ; as that finding was not supported by evidence. He would take a rule in the alternative. Mr. SCAM LET T. on behalf of Mr. Peto, said that he felt much difficulty in deciding how to act on this occasion, as a verdict had been for his client on all the issues except one. If the Court were of opinion that that issue was not marerial, the verdict in general should be for the defendant; but if their Lordships should come to a different conclusion, he should request the privilege of being heard in support of a motion for a new trial ; he thought the issue in favour of the Crown was improperly found. The issue joined was, that there was a stratum of gravel into which the piles could be driven according to the specification. The Jury found, that there was • stratum of gravel into which the piles could be driven, without the qualification, but adding, that Mi. Peto would have driven the piles into the bed of gravel were It not for the interference of Mr. Laing. Mr. Baron II trr.t.oc said, that in point of law it was no answer to this action, it all the Lords of the Treasury had ordered Mr. Laing to interpose as he had done, since there was no such condition in the bond, though it might be made use of in another quarter. SCARLETT said, that certainly if the bond were strictly en forced, his client would be at the mercy of the Crown. Mr. Baron Gwatiow—lt was the duty of the contractor to say that if a gravel bed could be found within six or seven feet of the surface, he would sink the piles in it for 12,0001. (the sum agreed upon to be given him); or it he could not, that he would charge more in proportion to the depth. Mr. SCARLETT.—Your Lordship has felicitously hit upon the terms contained in the tender which Mr. Peto had originally sent in, but it was burnt after the Customhouse had been built. He then said, that he did not purpose to move for an unconditional 1 rule for a new trial, only in case their Lordships should decide that the issue found for the Crown was sufficient to enter judgment I upon. The grounds upon Which he founded his application for a l , new trial were two letters, written by Mr. Laing to the Commis sioners of the Customs after the building had been completed. Mr. Baton Ciaanow.—These letters cannot be admitted now ; 1 they ought to have been produced on the trial. Mr. SCARLETT.—We served notice on the Crown to produce them, and they declined. Baron °ARROW—Then you ought to have examined Mr. ' Ling. Mr. SCARLET t admitted that he could not claim it as a right to have these letters read ; but as the object of the Crowr. was to have justice clone, he hoped matters of form would be die pensed with. He then read the following letters, which, ac cording to the affidavit of Mr. Taylor, were copied from letters written by Mr. being to the Commissioners. October T 2, 1814; '• I beg leave to lay before your Honours an account of the piling of the foundation of the building now erecting for the Custom-house, in which it will be found that an unforeseen, though necessary, expense has been incurred, occasioned by the irregularity of the foundation, in the state of which even the great experience of Mr. Rennie, whom your Honours appointed to examine the ground, was deceived, the ground having been tried by his direction, and subject to my inspection ; at the depth from 16 to 20 feet below the present level of the Quay, the auger nni. formly brought up a complete gravel, having every appearance of being a stratum fit for the foundation of a large buil.iing; on which circumstance was founded the opinion of the number of piles necessary for the stability of the proposed erection ; but not withstanding such favourable appearances, when the ground was opened, it was discovered that no real stratum existed, but that the whole ground was completely intersected by the foundation walls of buildings, some so compact as to require the use of iron wedges to disturb the adhesion of the cement. At the west end, where the ground was first opened, a vaulted eel. lining was discovered, the paving of which, fourteen feet below the level of the quay, was of Dutch clinkers, set in tetras, and under that • brick paving, in all fifteen feet deep, anti this had been founded on oak piles ; and immediately close to the Thames, at ten feet below the ground, the constructed layers of rushes and muscle shells, indicated that in former days it was a part of a river bank, and even tea feet below that, the auger brought up mud, but little indurated ; yet even here the ground was so uncer. tam, that in one place • pile would scarce enter five feet in the ground, and close by would drive sixteen. In consequence of this, it was found necessary to direct every other obstacle to be removed, wherever it came in contact with the new walls, that the building, having an equable bed, might, in case of settlement, all sink toge ther, that no fracture might appear. The necessity of that is appa rent, when it in considered that in some places the ground was little more than mud—in others, walls of the utmost hardness pre sented themselves, from al to al feet below the level of the present quay; these walls were uniformly found about 60 feet inside the quay wall, running east and west, built of chalk rubble, and faced with hard stone, but only firm owing to its having been water bound. This had been apparently the wall of the old quay, as no less than three depths of embankment have been found, at the se veral distances of 58, 86, and 103 feet, the present wharf—from which it may be inferred that the stratum by which Mr. Renni e 's judgment, and my opinion, have been misled, must have been thrown in at the time of some contraction of the River, and which had acquired such a firmness, from the heavy weight on it, as to excite the most reasonable expectation of its being a natural stratum of the earth, in which any struct ur e wou ld b e secure . U n d er these eircumetances, every precaution was render e d necessary, an d-i n VA . riouspiaties the piling was to be 28 feet long, in others 15 Feet were cut off; the requisite lengths were ordered, and the substructure is now rendered firm and well b on d e d together, which could not have been the case if any other meth o d h a d b een punned ;for the nature of beech requiring it to be in th e same situation, so as not to be sub ect to changes from drought t o mo i sture , which is provided against by the foundation all lying level, so that the water of the River,enter ing at one part • is communicated to the other. keeping it always wet and durable.

In thin suit, which was brought by Lady Amiens against Lord Amiens, for a divorce by reason of adultery, Dr. LUSIII ROTOR moved that the allegations should be admit ted. The marriage of the parties took place in Scotland on the 2d August, 1804, and the parties cohabited together until April, 1810. when Lord Ameins eloped with a Mrs. Newcomb, with whom he has since been living in London and elsewhere. Dr. JEN NER, on behalf of hoed Amiens, objected to the admis sion of the allegations, on the ground that the solemization of the marriage was informally pleaded. The marriage cerentrony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Muter, in a private house in Scotland, and the entry of this marriage was pleaded in the same form a• if it was a regular entry in the bookie a parish in this country. There was nothing, however, to induce the Court to believe that the copy of the registry ought to be considered a public document. Another objection to the libel was, that an unnecessary delay had taken place, for which it was neglected to account. It was pleaded that Lady Amiens was residing at the house of her father, a Mr. Tandy, an attorney-at•law, in Ireland, and that she had received no main tenance from Lord Amiens since Iris elopement with Mrs. New comb; It was also pleaded that Lord Amiens had been living in open adultery with Mrs. Newcomb since 1810, but no reason was given why Lady Amiens had not commenced proceed , ngs before, and why she had taken the present occasion to sue for a divorce from her husband; after having acquiesced in a separation from him from 11110 to the present time. lie therefore submitted that the libel should be reformed on the particular points to which he had adverted. Dr. Donsow followed on the same aide, urging the inadmis sibility of the allegations, on the same grounds as were stated by Dr. Jenner. _ . Dr. LusitirroTog, in reply, contended that the delay which had taken place in this suit, was fully accounted for, and could not be construed Into an acquiescence in the adultery. Lady Amiens was supported entirely by her father, from the elopement of Lord Amiens until recently, when the father of Lord Amiens became Lord Aldborough. since which he bad contributed to the support of Lady Amiens. In fact, until within a very short time, Lord Amiens was in such a condition, that there was nn chance either of alimony or costs; and this circumstance, together a ith that of the residence of the parties—Lord Amiens residing in England, and Lady Amiens in Ireland—sufficiently accounted for the delay which had taken place. With respect to the objection on the grounds of informality in the pleading on the marriage, he had no objection to consent to alter the libel in the manner proposed by the other side. _ _ . The CouRT was of opinion that the registry of the marriage was informally pleaded. It should have been pleaded that the'entry was made in the register according to the law of Scotland, and the libel must be reformed in this particular before it could be admitted. _ _ . The business of the Arches Court having been disposed of the business ofthe Prerogative Court was entered upon, and the Court occupied the greater part of the day in hearing the allegations and exhibits read in the case of Rose v. Fountayne, the particulars of which we shall lay before our readers when the case comes on for argument. SERMON TO THE CONDEMNED. Yesterday morning the customary sermon was preached in the chapel of Newgate, by the Rev. !Or. Cotton, the Ordinary of the prison, in consequence of the approaching execution of the four unhappy men who are ordered for execution on Wednesday next, the 7th instant, viz. Robert Savage, aged 21 ; Joseph Benfield, aged 22 ; James J ohnson, aged 23, for stealing in a dwelling. house ; and Joseph Taylor, aged 31. for stealing four horses. The prisoners having been previously visited by their spiritual advisers, repaired to the Chapel at the usual hour, with the excep. lion of Savage. who is confined in the Ittfirtnory in consequence of a rheumatic affection, but who from the temper of mind he has unhappily displayed from the moment of his commitment, would have thought his attendance irksome in the extreme. The other pries •2rs confined in the gaol having taken their seats, Benfield, Johnson, and Taylor, were conducted to the condemned pew, ac companied by William Jones, a respited convict, under sentence of death, for a robbery in the house of the Hon. W. H. Stanhope. The morning hymn having been sang. .the Rev. Ordinary read the formula of the Church in an impressive manner, and the unfor tunate culprits evinced by their demeanour that they were fully sensible of the awful situation in which they stood. This service having terminated, the Rev. Gentleman delivered an appropriate discourse from part of the Ilth verse of the 33c1 chap. of the pro phesy br Ezekiel..." As 1 live,saith the Lord,l have no pleasure in the death of the wicked." The Rev. Gentleman, in energetic, yet pathetic language. addressed himself to the unhappy men, and the hundreds of prisoners by whom they were surrounded, and pointed out that the Almighty's attributes of justice and mercy were in themselves distinct, but yet might, through the vicarious sacrifice which had been made, brought into harmonization. The unhappy young men attended to the discourse in a manner which well became their awful situation. At the conclusion of the service they paid their respects to their late, but more fortunate, companions, and were then re-conducted to their cells, where they were attended in the after-part of the day by the Ordinary, Mr. Sheriff Kelly, Mr. Baker, six. B:c., who also attended divine ser vice in the morning. The case of the unfortunate youth, Johnson, is not much known, owing to its coming on at am early hour on the last day of the May Sessions. The facts, as disclosed in evidence, are briefly these : The prisoner was a servant to Mr. Muting, an upholsterer, N 0.33, Oxford-street, at a salary of 151. a year, exclusive of bed and board. On the 118th of April last he contrived to cpcn the iron cheat by false or pick-lock keys, aria took from the cash-box 3761. in sovereigns, notes, and bills of exchange, no part of which was recovered. The prisoner was apprehended a few days after at Kidderminster, but no part of the property had ever been recovered. The prosecutor said that he took the unfortunate youth into his employ out of charity, and up to this transaction he had not the slightest reason to doubt his honesty. It is due to this unhappy young man to state, that he acknowledges the justice of his sen tence, and has devoted the interval between conviction and the ar rival of the warrant of death in a strict attention to the duties of religion. , PAISLEY, MAY .—The demands of the unemployed operatives among us continue undiminished, although a very con. siderable number of strangers have left the town for Ireland and other parts of the country. The benevoler,t have had ample informs. tion from time to time, regarding the peculnsr state ofdistress that has prevailed for some months among the working classes in this town and neighbourhood • and it has been more than once mentioned in several of the public journals, that the fund raised in the district and front outer sources, is nearly exhausted. It gives us howevea much pleasure to know, that on Saturday last the sum of 410. was received from our Ihnevolent friends in Edinburgh. Our weekly expenditure for giving employment at out-field labour to unem ployed operatives, and for otherwise supplying the wants of dis tressed families, Is very great ; and we are much afraid that if the streams or benevolence do not continue less or more to flow to us from distant parts of the country, that we shall be greatly cramped in our endeavours to relieve cases of extreme distress, till the wished• for improvement in the state of our commerce and manufacture takes place. . .

On Sunday last a dog was observed in the orchard of Mr. Coombs, at Temple Coombe, Somerset, scratching the grout!, and could not be removed from the spot.
