We are enabled, by the French Papers of the Soth of April, to correct the date which had been stated as that of the last attack on Missolonghi. We subjoin, without com ment, a few extracts from different quarters, relative to the affairs of Greece:— [From the Gazette d'Augsbourg..l Our last letters from Corfu are dated the .sth of April. They mention that the last attack of the Egyptians was made on the 23d March (thus correcting the dates of some former letters), and that eie assailants litre repulsed with • loss of several thousand+ of their men. Three Ileys and a Pacha were killed, and Ibrahim Pacha was dangerously wounded. A report was even generally cit._ cu! tad in the 102140 islands, that that Chief had afterwards died of to sounds. From the Joarnal des Drbats.l fetters from Corfu of the 7th April, and from Zante of the 30. h March, announce the death of'brafi m Pacha, the raising of the siege of Ili..solunghi, the entry into that town of the troops of Comas. rainier, Kerns Botzaris, and a great quantity of pro.. visions and warlike stores; the evacuation of Vassilsdi and .%natolico, the retreat of the Barbarians who took refuge partly in Lepanto and partly in Patras, and the appearance of the addles of the Greek squadron destined to strike the last blow against the Mahometans. . _ _ I From the Eti.ile.l A letter from Ancona of the Itth of this month enntalls the f new., the authenticity of which is not guaranteed : Yesterday a vessel from Corfu arrived in this port, which confirmed the "ews of the attacks made by Ibrahim on Missolonghi, and of the losses which he experienced in these attempts. Today two vessels have arrived from Corfu, one in 1.1, the other in 11 days. They have brought the news that the fleet commanded by :11 isulis had succeeded in again provisioning Missolonghi ; that the Greeks had retaken Yassiladt, and that Ibrahim had been wounded. The Observer of Trieste relates that an English man of war, in in passage fmm Malta to the lonian Islands, had fallen in with the Greek fleet coming from Hydra. (From the Courtier Francais:) The city of Nisnies, in which the missionaries have continued all the winter, witnessed on the 22d of April such deplorable scenes, as had not been repeated since the fatal epoch of 1815. Fanaticism appeared to spring up in it afresh and with new fury, and, what is remarkable, it took for its pretext the benediction of a mixed mar. ties/c—a ceremony, which, though very frequent in this country, hid never been the occasion of any disturbance even in the must comy time!. The house of a young Catholic girl, who was abont to marry a Protestant, 11.4 invested early in the morning by a consider. abls crowd, who uttered all sorts of reproaches against her. The *riding party, which had to go to the Protestant chapel, la receive the benediction, durst not go out, as one may suppose. The tiforts of the Commissaries of the police to dissipate the popu. lace were in vain. The Mayor went to the place, and his injunc tions being equally useless, he resolved to demand a Piquet of gendarmes and a company of the Swiss regiment. rise aoidiera formed so so to enclose the party, and it was in this way that the bride and bridegroom, seho lived near the barracks, were conducted to the little chapel, and afterwards re-conducted to the bridegroom's house, in the suburb of the road to Avignon, continually followed by a very numerous and irritated mob, who uttered cries and pro nounced the most ferocious threats ; stones were even thrown, and it is st:inued that a woman was arrested who carried one in her apron. The crowd continued round the house, always menacing in the same way, till a late hour in the evening. Several persona have, it is said, been arrested. The conduct of the civil and military autho rities, and panicularly chat of the Mayor, M. de Chaateliier, has been worthy of the greatest praise. It appears that the Chief of the Iroquois, brought into France by a Mlesiettary, has bad but a middling success there, notwithstanding his double talent for the singing of psalms and for the dance of his country. His Iroquois Highness is now at 3larseilles, where lie is about to embark fir Sonic. The Asiatic Society b,ll on the 27. h April its Annual General 3leeting ; the Duke of (Means in the Chair. 31. Abel Remusat, the Stcretary. detailed the proceedings of the Society, and made 'Articular allusion to the translations or trots of the Bible which have been made into different (Mental languages, Ile stated also that an Arabian Journal had been commenced, for the put. pose of difliising information in these countries. Ile referred par. titularly to the effect which such Information might have on Egypt, argil the natives of that country now in Greece. (From the Echo du Norel.l t►n Saturday last a slight commotion took place in the Rue des liot.cherie, at Douai, in consequence of the refusal or the Con. re,ot of the daughter of a butcher, to admit her to communicate, t , .-cute she had been once or twice to the theatre with her mother. /From the Etude, dated Sunday, April :Phi ilis Majesty the Emperor of Alstria has addressed the follow. autograph reseript to Count Sauran, his Minister of the In. Dear Count Sauran,—Durlng the course of the dangerous illness from which I have just recovered, with the aid of divine Providence, J have received from my people new and numerous proofs of attachment, which I consider as the fairest recompense for the solicitude and love which I fcel for them. It is with lively satisfaction that I have found in all classes of the nation, and in Ell the provinces of the monarchy, the sentiments to which they have cnnitantly remained attached In good and bad fortune. I think I cannot better express to them my gratitude than by pub licly acknowledging the confirmation of this truth, so soothing to my heart and so honourable to them. "Vienna, April 17." (Signed) " FRANCIS." His Majesty the King of Prussia has appointed the Duke of Wellington Colonel of the 211th regiment of infantry, now in gull wn at Cologne. The Alliemehic Zeilung, in a letter from the frontiers of Poland. announces that the Emperor of Russia had caused to be delivered to the Foreign 31 iniaters a note, addressed by him to the Divan, the energetic language of which gives reason to hope that the Porte will at length yield to the demands of Russia. A letter from New Orleans of 211th Feb. has the following para. graph :—." ft seems that there is not much personal safety at Vera Cruz; some Englishmen have been assassinated there, and the per. petratore of these crimes have net yet been discovered. The people are dissatisfied at seeing the silver go to England, and it is not known whether it will be easy to send away the millions which are in that port, destined for that country. The passengers in the Volcano, from the Havannah, had a strange reception ; the Spaniards have been shut up in the Castle, and only the natives of the Havannah have been allowed to enter the town, from which, it is said, many of them will be sent away. because it is difficult to decide what to do with. them, and the Government is Ignorant what urgent reason can have induced them, under present circumstances, to come to Vera Cruz, As for the Spaniards, those who have not a passport from the government, or one of its agents, will hare to quit the Republic immediately. The pamphlet entitled, • if the English do not go away, we shall be Slaves," has produced more effect than might be believe, and the persecution of the author by the Government has given mote importance to the subject, and excited in the people a para_ cular interest in favour of the author (who is banished), and at the same time much distrust of those is ho govern the federation.

The jealousy which prevails in Vera Cruz against the English is said, in a letter from New Orleans, given in the Ekile, to have showed itself by the assassination of several Englishmen in that city ; but seine abatements must no doubt be made on account of the vehicle through which this information reaches us. If the news which was yesterday circulated in the City be true, the Burmese war is at an end, and in a manner advantageous to our interests in India, as well as conferring additional glory on our arms. A letter was yesterday re ceived, by a most respectable house in the East Indian trade, from St. Helena, stating that the Mellish had arrived there, from Bengal and Madras, with official despatches, an nouncing the important fact that peace had been concluded with the golden footed Monarch, in consequence of which he cedes to the East India Company the sovereignty of no less than live provinces, and pays the expenses of the war, amounting to a crore of rupees, or 100 last, the rupee being now worth about 2s. Id. This desirable event was to have been expected, after the signal defeats which the Burmese suffered subsequent to the rupture of the armis tier, and the consequent demonstration made by Sir A. CAMPBELL of his speedy march upon Ummerapoora. The following is the account which was entered in the book at the Jerusalem Coffee:lsonse yesterday : " A letter has been received from St. Helena, dsted 'March 211, stating that the Rlelliah, from Bengal and Mulris, had brought detpatchrs, ahaouncing a treaty of peace between the British forces and the Burmese; the latter hal ceded five provinces, and one crore or 100 lees of rupees." At the same time it is our duty to apprise our readers, that up to the latest hour that we could apply at the EAU India House yesterday, we learned that no such account had been received there. Nevertheless, we have never had any doubt as to what would be the ultimate result of a contest, undertaken by us solely with the view of repelling barbarian insolence and unprovoked aggression. Indeed our own authentic sources of information from India, jus tified us long since in predicting that such would be the ter mination of this war, unless some unforeseen accident, or reverse against which human prudence could have no avail, should overtake our Commander and the army under him ; and we trust that an early arrival of the official ac counts will confirm our opinion. It was clear, from the statements in the last Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary, (which, by the way, we published a day before they ap peared in our own Gazette at home,) that the promptitude and intrepidity of Sir A. CAMPBELL by land, and the gallant and active co-operation of the officers of the naval part of the expedition, left no chance of eventual success to the enemy. Whatever provinces may now be ced.xl to us, they will doubtless be those nearest our Chittygong frontier and along the coast; and the natives we know will heartily rejoice in a change of masters, as they will then be rescued from the degradation and thraldom of that despotism, which left them neither property nor life but at the disposal of a tyrant or his minions. They will then be placed under the mild, conciliatory, and protecting in fluence of British government. A most important matter was last night mentioned in both Houses of Parliament—in the Lords by the Earl of Livettcoot, and in the Commons by Mr. CANNING— namely, that Parliament should empower Ministers to let the foreign corn at present in the country out of bond, on payment of a duty of 12s. ; and also to admit foreign corn to be imported (if - it 'should be found necessary), with a •iew to the relief of the distressed manufacturing districts. The subject will be taken into consideration, in a Com mittee of the whole House, to-night, in the Commons. If these measures are adopted, as we have no doubt they will be, the. KING in Council will bo empowered to regulate the importation of foreign corn, as in the discretion of the Council it may seem Inca; and, therefore, the question of an exclusive system of Corn Laws appears to us to be nearly decided. It is proverbially true, that of all rebellions the rebellions of the belly arc the woes•. When men arc goaded by the pains of hunger, reason has very little influence on their deliberations. It is fortunate that the distress which at present unhappily prevails comes at I season of the, year when the supply of food is becoming every day %ore abundant, and when it has not the aggravation of In clement weather to contend with. The public meeting, convened to raise a subscription for the relief of the suffer ing pcor of the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, cannot fail to be essentially serviceable, as, from the num bers out of employ, the poor-rates must necessarily be in adequate to satisfy the claims upon them. In London, large and liberal donations have been raised for the poi r weavers of Spitalflehis ; and hut for this aid the wretched ness of thousands would have terminated in death. Thet• is, providentially, every prospect of a most productive harvest ; this blessing, if accompanied, as there is great reason to believe it will be, by a revival of trade, and an improved demand for the produce of our manufacturing industry in the Continental market, will tend, we hope, permanently to subdue those disturbances which bring such a mass of calamity in their train. The measures ,adopted by Government have already tended very con siderably towards the restoration of tranquillity ; the spirit of outrage appears much abated: this may, perhaps, arise partly from the extent io which the rioters have already succeeded in the demolition of the power-looms ; but to whatever cause it may be ascn'bed, we trust it will continue to subside, and that the misguided persons who have been concerned in the outrages that have been com mitted, will cease to render themselves unworthy of that sympathy, which, while they conduct themselves peace fully, their sufferings cannot fail to obtain for them. Great praise is due to the military for the humane forbearance they have manifested, but which they at the tome time contriv‘d to combine with an efficient discharge of their duty. We rejoice to state that our latest accounts from Man chester, down to five o'clock on Sunday evening, inform us that no actual disposition to rioting was then manifested, and that the town had been tranquil during the day. Part of the military had been ordered off to Oldham, to prevent the destruction of power-looms in that district, which was expected to be attempted yesterday. CITY, MONDAY Evesiwo. The general impression to-day in the City wan, that affairs m ounted a more favourable aspect in the manufacturing districts; but we fear that this impression was mated more by reason of the corn. paratively meagre intelligence received from Lancashire this moss. ing, than from any real amendment in thaatate of the country. It is remarkable that the commercial letters trail the illotoshed PO. tillCei were for the most part sans with nowt to the oll 4‘. ges that had been committed there, a nd a dd e d not hi ng to the intelli gence already received from thence. This 'Pence may have arisen from two causes ; the one, the supposition that the daily press wood have already communicated every circumstance desertburpublicity, and the other might be an apprehension of the letters felling into the hands of the rioters, for the coaches have in several instances been attacked and plundered. However that may be, certain it is that the funds evinced an elasticity this morning which circum stances did not warrant. One reason for this buoyancy in the Bri tish funds undoubtedly was the favourable news from India, given in another part of our impression. This wan a holiday at the Bank, but, as we stated on Saturday, in the present condition of the money market, it was not deemed advisable to close the Stock Exchanges, and both houses had extensive business transacted in them. Con sols opened at 78, but soon rose to 788. at which price very eaten sive business was done, an eminent broker buying largely at that price. Exchequer Bills were 91. pm. The news from India did not produce any particular demand for India Stock. shhnugh it naturally had a tendency to lighten it. The following quotations were reported in the Foreign Market : —Colombian Bonds, 404 ; Mexican 6 per Cents., 6144 ; Peruvian Bonds. 29 ; Russian ditto, 764 ; Greek, 14, 16 ; and Spanish Bonds, 74 8. The Corn Market was in a state of depression tmday, and Wheat experienced 'decline of 2s. per quarter ; (Tits also, of which the supply was very abundant, were cheaper by le. per quarter. IVe have received the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 25th, and Brussels Papers to the 30th ult. The former contains some unimportant rumours relative to the objects of the late conspiracy in Russia. The contents of the latter are merely of a local character. We have received the Spanish paper, called the Comereo de los dos Mundy:. It thtnishes, under date of Cadiz, April S, a singular article, which represents Bolivar to have hitherto abstained from invading Brazil, with the army of Sucre, oil account of the danger in which the Creoles have been placed since the Royal authority in those parts ceased to exist. The Indians, it is said, consider, now that the authority a the King of Spain is at an end, that things ought to return to their arigival state, and the country be placed under its native Incas. To effect this, it is added, they contemplate a general Massacre of the Spaniards, and all who are descended from Spaniards. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 41st ult. mentions the return of Austrirn troops from the 'fwoßicilies, but eou tains no news of importance. The following is an extact of a letter from Lcipsice, dated April 19:—" The fair is worse than was at first feared. Besides the weather, which is by no means favour able, there is a deficiency of purchasers, money, and credit. AH the merchandize is at a low price, and losses are sus tained even upon the little that is sold. Leather has fallen 10 per cent. and coarse cloths 13. The number of Poles, Russians, and Jews, is not so considerable as was expected. The failure of the Swiss house of Berdiesew having caused a loss at of more than 300,000 crowns, it is almost impossible to get goods on credit. Credit is obtained with difficulty for the beat bills of exchange." There is good reason to expect that some of his Ma jesty's Ministers and several Noblemen will attend the public meeting for the relief of the distresses among the manufacturers. The Chief Magistrate of Liverpool having received a re quisition for the purpose, has called a meeting of the nobi lity, chrgv, merchants, and inhabitants, to consider the best mode of relieving the distresses of the unemployed weavers and manufacturers, to take place this day at the Town Hall. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, the 2d battalion of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, under the command of Colonel Raikes, marched from the Knightsbridge Bar racks, to the Grand Junction Canal, where they emb ar k e d on board fly-boats, to proceed with all due speed, with as many horses as can be put on to draw them, to Manchester, where they are expected to arrive on Wednesday night, or early on Thursday morning. The first regiment of Life Guards, it is said, are about to march from Windsor, but not for Lancashire. Several detachments of troops, with some pieces of artillery, passed through Islington on Saturday night and Sunday morning, on their way to the North. The 63d Regiment, which marched from Chatham on Saturday morning, and arrived at Pimlico and Chelsea on Sunday noon, are not to proceed to Manchester, the men composing it nut being deemed eligible for Ruch ser vice, but yesterday morning were marched for Windsor, and detachments of the Ist battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards having marched from IVindsor at an early hour yesterday morning, leaving only a sergeant's guard. The detachments arrived at the barracks at Knightsbridge at a quarter past one o'clock; they would have proceeded towards Manchester, but there were no Sy-boats in readi ness to convey them, nor is it supposed they will be ready till Wednesday. The other detachment of this battalion is on its march from Brighton to join the Regiment. The Otley troop of the Yorkshire Hussars have marched off to Addingham, and the Leeds squadron of the same regiment paraded in the area of the Coloured Cloth hall at that town, but neither they nor any other of the troops, except that of 01ley, have received any marching orders.—Pot k Herald. The following is an extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, Sunday Evening, Five o'Clock :—" The War-office steam packet Emerald Isle has just arrived with a detachment of 450 men (the 73t1 Regiment) front Dublin, which piece ehe left at three o'clock this murnine. and who, we under stand, are to march at three o'clock to-morrow morning for Manchester. It is understood that the orders for the troops to be sent to Manchester were received in Dublin on Saturday." Some eymp•ome of a revival in trade have manifested themselves in Huddersfield. In the woollen tnatittfactory of Messrs. Pedley and Co., situated at the Pailtli:ck, the work-people are employed from daylight in the morning till ten o'clock at night, and several other factories are pretty fully employed, but the general business of the town is stiil very flat, and the sales in the Cloth-hall are by no means so brisk as is usual at this season of the year. — Fork Herald. We are glad to find that the proprietors of the new pe riodical publication, called the " Ass," intend to appro priate the half of the proceeds of their Number for the lat natant, to the relief of the poor in the manufacturing dia- Victs. Yesterday the despatches for Chihs, by the ship Orwell, Captain William Mishit Ferrer, were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship. Report states that the two gentlemen who had a ren eontre on the Exchange at Liverpool a short time ago, have gone to the Continent to terminate their difference, there, each having taken a friend with him. - - • #l , O N elk*. 4 4 • „S ."

Amongst the various public exhibitions, for the grad& cation of the curious, Mr. Kleft's collection of models in wax, composition, papierc mache, and carvings in box wood, are highly deserving of that public patronage which real merit is ever sure to obtain. The model, in card-paper, of /he " Basilica It Rome," or the cathedral of St. Peter's of the Vatican, is, in point of exquisite symmetry and exact proportions, one of tie finest models we ever witnessed. This, we believe, is the largest representation ever undertaken of that magnificent building; it being nine feet nine inches in length, three feet iii breadth, and three feet in height. Unlike most models of public buildings, the interior is equally as close a resemblance to ' te original as the exterior, where the most minute and t ifling architectural beauties are closely copied and adherei to with scrupulous attention to veracity and correctness. 1 ven the sculptured monuments des!gned by Raphael da Urkino, Michael Angelo (Iluonarotti),/ind various other of the esteemed old masters, are most faith fully represented. Amongst the numerous models in wax contained in this exhibition, one by Percy, representing "The dying Mo ments of Voltaire," and another, by Kieft, of " The In terior of a Flemish Cottage," (in which specimen of this artist's abilities are delineated a boor, his wife, and daughter,) are deserving the highest claims to admiration, not only as regards the style in which they are executed, but for the close and faithful representation which they hear to nature. The wasted lineaments of die Celebrated Voltaire at the period of dissolution are exquisite)? pour trayed. Mr. Kleft's exhibition likewise contains a series or ana tomical models in wax, of which we have no hesitation in saying that never before was the similitude of death so wonderfully counterfeited, or the interior structure of the human skull so minutely and faithfully represented. In conclusion, we have only to remark, that in this ex hibition the architect, the sculptor, and the student in ana tomy, will find ample food for contempl a ti on , as speci . tams in each of those departments are presented that will stand the test of the severest scrutiny, The Duke of York transacted militia) , business with the King yesterday. The Duke of York was at the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department yesterday evening for some time, transacting business with Mr. Secretary Peel. Yesterday the Princess Augusta and the Princess Sophi a visited the Duchess of Gloucester. Yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester visited his Ma jesty.

The Duke of Wellington had an audience of the King yesterday, at hia Palace in Pall-mall. Sunday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a meet ing of the Cabinet Ministers was held at the Earl of Liver.: pool's house, in Whitehall, which was understood to be upon the subject of the communications received in the morning, at nine o'clock, by Mr. Secretary Peel, from Lan cashire. At the breaking up of the meeting the Earl of Liverpool went to the King. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, Mr. Secretary Peel received an express from Lancashire. The Right Hon. Secretary sent the contents to all the Cabinet Mi nisters. A Cabinet Council assembled at the Foreign Office, at two o'clock, at which it was understood the com munications received by Mr. Secretary Peel, from Lanca shire, were taken into consideration, but the Council was not summoned for that purpose, ca the summonses were issued on Friday night last. The Council was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, with the exception of the Lord Chancellor. They continued in deliberation till about half-past four o'clock. Mr. Secretary Peel was in con stant communication with the Duke of York during the day, except while he was engaged at the Cabinet Council, making the arrangements necessary for the marching of the different troops. Yesterday Sir W. W. Wynn, Mr. Wynn, and General Sir Charles Ross, transacted business at the Home Office. Sunday evening, Mr. Taylor, the King's Messenger, was sent off from the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department to Manchester. Yesterday morning Lord Grantham, the Hon. Wm. Lascelles, the son of the Earl of Harewood, and the Hon. Petre, who belong to the Yorkshire Ilussars, left London for Yorkshire. On Sunday last, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs attended divine service at Lewisham Chinch, where a sermon was preached in behalf of the Kent Dispensary by, the Reve rend Mr. Dillon, the Lord Mayor's Chaplain ; after which a collection was made, amounting to 791. CHELTENHAM, APRIL 30.—Great numbers of visitors are daily arriving, and a full season is expected.

Indeed, his bill of fare contains the names of performers of such eminence as to itrsitre the company a high gratification. VAUXHALL GARDENR.—This enchanting suburban place of amusement for all grades of society, where the noble Peer is seen jostling amongst honest citizens, and still wore humble mechanics, and, apparently, equally en joying with them all the delusions of the fairy scene, has undergone, during the recess, some very important altera tions, which are now nearly completed. The rotunda has been converted into a concert-room, with boxes and gal• lery. The boxes are placed shout thirty feet high, and are exeeedingly commodious, separated from each other by' partitions, like those at the King's Theatre. The gallery is placed at that end of the rotunda, where the Panhar- monicon formerly stood, and the orchestra is at the other extremity, in the place of the Fantoccini. The long room, beyond the rotunda, is fitted up very tastefully, with a vs ' nett of views of Italian scenery; and a panorsmie painting of Tivoli, with a cascade, tills up the niche at the botto m of the room. From the general improvements that are now in progress in the Gardens, we anticipate a splendid opening and successful season. Braham, Mint Stephens, and 1)e Begnis, are engaged.

TAR NINO V. THE JUSTICES OF waittercgsntnt. This wu a proceeding instituted by a Coroner against the JINN, tlees of Warwickshire, for the purpose of ascertaining his right to charge, on three several inquest., 9d. per mile; on the distance from his own house to Birmingham, being 20 miles. The Coroner hyl been obliged Logo to Birmin gham to hold one Inquest, and when ne arrived there he found that there were two other his quests to be held, and he charged his mileage in each. When the case was called on, Bnot:011.411, who appeared for the Justices, mentione4 that Mr. Searlett was on the other side, and petiribly their Lord. ships would Ict it stand over until he came into Court. The Cu. of :11e11ish v. Richardson wu appointed as tint: and as it wet known that case would occupy some time, and as Mr. Scariest hat . been heard in it on a former day, probably be was absent from these The LORD Ci.ttes JUSTICE said the Court coup( not ter the public business to stand still on atcount of dm *Wean of Counsel. The case was then argued on one side only and the Coon wets i unanimously of opinion, that all the allowance given to Coroners for holding inquests by the Statute wee 20s. for each inquest holden. and N. per mile as a travelling charge on the distance thew were obliged to go to hold artch inquest. Here the distance the' Coroner had to go was only to Birmingham ; and the eireumstaecti of his having held three inquests after he had got there, could not entitle him to make three separate charsee for once travelling the same diatence. r. SCAR LET T afterwards, 00 Corning into Court, stared to thee Lordships that he had nct been heard in the cue; and that it had been decided in his absence. The Loan en Isr JUSTICE—We do all we can to ICCORIMO: date the gentlemen at the bar ; but we cannot suffer Futile business to mend still on account of their absence: MT. SCAR LF. T T —Your Lordships know that mama the COMM pointed out by your Lordships is ehered to, it is impossible for ono FA to regulate my conduct as to meet every emergency. Your Lordships fixed the case of Mellish v. Richardson as the firm this morning, and as I had done my best in it on a former day, L did not thiuk it necessary to be in Court until I thought it would pro. bably he over. This cage was taken out of its turn. The Lrsan CHIEF. JUSTICE—If my brother Bayley had bona here, he Would have gone on pith &knish and Richardson; bee he was not, and we mutt not suffer the public time to be wasted on account of the absence of Counsel. I do Dot think, however, if you had been here that it could have made any difference ; it wait a very plain case against you, indeed. Mr. Scartit.ETT—lf your hardships think it was so clear a ease, then I have done my duty in mentioning it. The case of Mellish Richardson, which occupied the whole morning, was of no public importance whatever. THE KING V. CUNNINGHAM, I'iIUCHEE, AND wassosourah. The A TrOIiSEY-GENERAL, in the - last Term, moved for and obtained a rule, calling upon the above-named defendants. the printer. publisher, and proprietor of the English Gentleman news. paper, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed. against them, for an alleged libel on Mr. Rothschild. Mr. BROUGHAM now showed cause, and submitted that at all events, in the aflidavit of Mr. Chatfield. the Solicitor to alr. Roth'. child, on which this rule was obtained, quite sufficient was dia. closed to warrant the Court in discharging this rule as against the two lirst.mentioned defendants. 51r. Chatfield stated that the alleged libel having appeared on the rfith.of December last, In the English Gentleman, on the 19th he wrote to Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Puncher, the printer and publisher, and told them that Mr. Rothschild had directed him to inform them that it was his Intention to apply for a criminal information against. them, for having inserted its their newspaper a certain false and libellous statement, in regard to an alleged transaction which was represented to have taken place between Mr. Rothschild and Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co. blinkers. The letter, which was sea out, contained these words—" The reason that I make this applies. titan to you Is. that you may give up the author of the _paragraph complained of ; but In case you decline doing so, Mr. Rothechat has instructed me to proceed against you accordingly." The Learned Counsel submitted that this letter evidently by implication . contained a pledge that proceedings would not be taken against tber parties to whom it was written, unless they did decline giving tap the RUth.lf et the paragraph. It appealed further by affidavit of Chatfield, that Mr. Wasterough, who was the author, and the proprietor of the paper, had been given up, and had had, • personal interview with Mr. Chatfield. The Learned Counsel, therefore, submitted that the rule ought, at all events, to be dia. - charged, as far as Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Pouchtie were con. cerned. With respect to Mr. NVasborrugh, it unto tunately hap. pened, that thaugh affidavits had been filed, which, in the estimation of the Learned Counsel, would have c early convinced the Court that this was not a case in which they would have thought it right to interfere by criminal information, yet these affidavits were bled only the day before the Term. indeed of a week, as required by the conditions of the rule, and therefore the Learned Counsel feared they could not be made use of on the present occasion. Mr. Hot?, on the same side. said that he was sorry he was put. eluded from making use of the affid.vits tiled by al r. Wasbmough, but submitted that it would be clearly a breach of good faith, if the pledge contained in the letter of Mr. Chatfield was to be dim. garded, and this rule made absolute against all three defendant. Mr. Wasborough, who was the proprietor of this paper, and was the author of the supposed libellous . paragraph, had conic forward and avowed himself as such, and it was extremely hard that bier affidavit could not now be gone into, as it would give an ample ex. planation of the whole case. The Court, however, would not for. get the fact that such an affidavit had been filed ; and they would in this, as in all other cases, be very cautious bow they exerted the extraordinary power of the Court, by interfering with a criminal information. Upon what principle was it that Mr. Rothschild particularly should have the extraordinary assistance of the Court, when the ordinary means of redress by indictment, which was open to public character. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—EMIT person is entitled to pro. tection. Mr. Hove—Certainly, my Lord; but not by criminal infor. matton. That is an extraordinary mode of relief, which the Court only grants in such cases a.• it Minks call fur it. But Mr. Rothe... child is no public futketionary who requires the special protection of this Court ; he is may a dealer in money—a bitllionist, as he is called. He is a dealer In a commodity which every body has great need of, and so far he may be a person of importance; but he is, no more than an ordinary stock-jobber, and the circumstance of his being connected whit a grist many loans does not entitle him to the. protection of this Court rams than the lowest individual In the city of London. Under all these circumstances, I submit that the rule most be discharged midi respect to Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Pouchee st least ;- and 1 regret exceedingly 'bat we " a " IP jam* r 77i i. i r~
