person in the Court who knew well both wln did, and who did not commit the crime. Thi was the Caird of Barullion, who, thrusting him self up to the bar, near the place where Bargall3 was standing, suddenly seized on the bonnet, put it on his head, and looking the Laird full in the face, asked him, with a voice which attracted the attention of the Court and crowded c.udienec —" Look at me, Sir, and tell me, by the oath you have sworn, am I not the man who robbed you between Carsphairn and Dalmellington ?" Bargally replied, in great astonishment, " B 3 Heaven, you are the very man."—" You sec what sort of memory this gentleman has," said the volunteer pleader ; " he swears to the bonne; whatever features are under it. If you yourself. my Lord, will put it on your own head he will be willing to swear that your Lordship was the party who robbed him between Carsphairn and Dalmellington." The tenant of Bantoberick was unanimously acquitted, and thus Willie Marshall ingeniously contrived to save an inno cent man from danger, without incurring any himself, since Bargally's evidence must have seemed to every one too fluctuating to be relied upon. While the King of the Gipsies was thus laudably occupied, his royal consort, Flora, con trived, it is said, to steal the hood from the Judge's gown, for which offence, combined with her presumptive guilt as a gipsy, site was ba nished to New England, whence she never re turned. Now, I cannot grant that the idea of Meg Merrilies was, in the first concoction:id the character, derived from Flora Marshall; seeing, es I already said, she was identified with Jean Gordon, and as I have not the Laird of Bar gally's apology for charging the same fact on two several individuals. Yet lam quite content that Meg should be considered as a representa• tine of her sect and class in general—Flora as well as others. The other instances in which my Gallovidian readers have obliged me by assigning to " Airy nothing, A local habitation and a name," shall also be sanctioned so 'far as the author may be entitled to do so. I think the facetious Joe Miller records a case pretty much in point ; where the keeper of a museum, while showing, as he said, the very sword with which Balaam was about to kill his ass, was interruped by one of his visitors, who reminded him that Balaam was not possessed of a sword, but only wished for one. " True, Sir," replied the ready-witted cicerone ; " but this is the very sword he wished for." The author, in application of this story, has only to add, that though ignorant of the coincidence between the fictions of the tale and some real circumstances, he is contented to believe be must unconscientiously have thought or dreamed of the last, while engaged in the composition of Guy Mannerly. At Antwerp a family of six persons were poisoned a few days ago by white lead, which has been discovered in butter. The author of this homicidal fraud is not likely to be detected, as the mistress of the family, who bought it at market, is among the victims. EXTRAORDINARY SIIOT.—Mr. R. SCOLES late head-keeper to Lady WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY, of 3rimsthorpe Castle), and considered by most a first-rate "Tack shin, (having given proof of his prowess by killing 19 out of 24 pigeons,) a few weeks since, during the late, buck season, shot at one, in Exton Park, the ball of which we't through tie animal. and struck with great violence apthst i - knot of oak in the park paling, and rebounded a 'clistainiel' Of 'it least 30 yards. The spent ball slightly tapped his boot top and fell at his foot. The battered ball may now be seen at the shop of Mr. GILBERT, sta tioner, Spalding.--Boston Gazette. It appears that " wet 'uns" are not confined to Newgate and Leadenhall Markets—or the stir made by ;he metropolitan authorities to detect and prevent the sa'e pf unwholesome meat may be the cause of trying the scheme in country markets. The carcass of a sow was recently exhibited in Colchester market for sale, which, from its appearance, soon drew public indignation, and the owner, or part owner, amidst some execration, withdrew It ss speedily as possible, but in order to give the affair a savoury smell, the old man appeared before the Magistrates As t :he Town Hall, with a slice of the delicious grunter on A plate, and complained that he had been slandered; that it was good meat and bled well ; that in consequence of the stir made, he could not sell it, and was, therefore, forced to eat it hiraself. The case being thus voluntarily brought forward, of course led to a few questions, such as, " If it is good meat, why (lid you remove it from the market ?"—" Why, Sir, becase they sed they'd bun it." " Did the sow die alone ?"—"Nar, Sir, Nar." " 0, then there wore more died with her ?"—" Nar, nar ; tell ye, she worn't esakly well, sartny, she died becase she could'ne make herself comfortable."—This explanation excited much laughter at the expense of Master Sparatow, Via() still stated it was as good a piece of pork as he had aver eaten ; he was therefore left to pick his enjoyment ;Gm it as he pleased.—Hents Mercury. AW,ANCHOLY EVENT.—A stranger, of gen teel appep•ance, and apparently about 40 years of age, with brown bah', and beard rather inclining to red, came t Renton Inn, parish of Coldingham, and county of Ber wick, en Monday the Oth instant, and was discovered .; ' deal in bed next d about twelve o'clock, and an xseptv vi:4 was found iu the bed-room, having the name ,pad aldress of an Edinburgh apothecary printed on the ;abet, sad the words " Prussic Acid" written on the 4: mitre of the label in distinct character. The stranger wore ari olive coloured coat, brown great coat, black pan taloons, Wellington boots, and black hat, with the maker's name and aidress " Hand's warranted water-proof, 84, Cheapside," in the crown thereof, and his handkerchief t ol linen are marked with the letter K. He had no i bui,.dle or money, and no letters or writings by which his addreaz could be discovered, save a certificate by the Ma sager or' the Edinburgh Loan Company, of date the oth November, 1529, wherein he is described 49 " Mr. KING, Portland. place."—Should this paragraph meet the ye of any one to hom the unfortunate stranger was known, they are requested to address a few lines to Mr. JOHNSTON, procurator-fiscai toe Berwickshire, that the friends of the deceased may be made acquainted with the melancholy event.—Edinburgh Evening Couraui. Early on Monday morning the neighbour ood Union-row, in the Kent-road, was thrown into Kors.;;Jera,de excitement, by its being reported that a tamale, xelpyin n• a small room in No. 29, in that street, had died tb Pigh; previously, and that her death had been occasioned in consequence of being destitute of the com mon necessaries us life, On inquiry this proved to be too true. The following are the particulars of this pitiable occurrence :—About tell weeks ago, the deceased, whose name was MA ais. Evalss, hired the apartments alluded to. representing herself married to a person named SKILLMAN. When possession was taken of tile room, a large iota was brought in, said to contain bedding. The door was kept constantly locked, and no one connected with the lodging house ever allowed to enter. On Saturday last the land lady got access into the room, in consequence of hearing some one moaning very much, when she was [shocked at beholding the deceased stretched upon a tattered mattrass, with no other covering than a piece of old carpeting and a worn-out sailor's jacket, evidently in a dying state. There was neither chair, table, nor fire in the room—nor any descriptiou of food whatsoever. The eyes of the de c-ased were sunk deeply in her head ; tile cheek-bows a'most protruded through the skin ; her thin, bloodless, and attenuated fingers were frightful to look at ; in her body she had pined away to a perfect skeleton; and the whole scene presented a most melancholy and soul-harrow ing picture of human wretchedness and want, in their moat appalling forms. The landlady instantly had a fire lighted, and sent out for the parish-surgeon, but his skill was:.el , v , —food w as o ff ere d, but it was loathed by this y:,_ rtunat e victim of famine ,• nature was exhausted, and shortly afterwards she died. It appeared that the deceased in early life had been in affluent circumstances. Some years ago she eloped with the person whom she repre sented as her husband, but who Was previously a married man. In consequence of some heavy losses they nv's'erethree duced to beggary—both being of proud disp os i t i ons could not endure the thought of eepplyinz to th e p ar i s h fury • relief. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1829. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Under this head there is a Transposition and Mixture of the Articles which were not discovered till too late for correction. After the second line in the first column, last page, read the fifth line in the second column. After the fifth line in the third column, read the third line in the first column. After the fourth line in the second column, read the sixth in the third, to the end of each Article. The Hamburg Reporter and the Hamburg Papers have been received to the 14th inst.— The Emperor of AUSTRIA is said to have con gratulated his Imperial Brother of the North on the glorious termination of the war. This seems rather odd, after the jealous watchfulness with which the progress of the Russian army was regarded by the zlustrian Minister, Prince METTERNICH. But perhaps the felicitation of the Emperor is only a matter of court etiquette, for there is a vocabulary of political as well as civil compliment, which it is deemed expedient to consult on certain occasions. The passage of vessels through the Darda nelles is now perfectly free, and numbers take ad vantage of this licence before the cold weather sets in. The following are extracts : FROM TIIE DtSUBE, NOY. 3. It is said that the Emperor of Austria has sent an autograph letter to the Emperor Nicholas, in which he congratulates the Russian Monarch on the glorious termination of the war with Turkey, and the happy restoration of peace in Europe. SALONICHI, OCT. 15. A corps of 2,000 TurJs have ,just arrived here from Negropont, among them are 600 regular troops, who arc soon to go to Constantinople. It is inferred from this circumstance that the island of Negropont is going to be delivered up to the Greeks. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 16. Within these six days above 20 more ships of different nations have arrived in this port, and among them 18 Russian vessels from the Mediter ranean, the greater part of which have already sailed for the Black Sea. These ships had passed the Dardanelles under Dutch colours ; notice, however, was sent to them by the Porte immediately on their arrival here, that though the exchange of the ratifi cation had not yet taken place, they might hoist Russian colours, and that the firmans for the prose.. cution of their voyage should be delivered to them without delay. Some Colonels and Aide-de-Camps of the Sultan who have been sent to Adrianople have returned from that city, and speak in the highest terms of the friendly treatment they expe rienced at the Russian head-quarters. The city and the neighbouring country are healthy, and the cool weather having set in, we flitter ourselves that we shall be free from the plague this year. STOCKHOLM, NOV. 3. A great deputation of the Estates of the King dom, with the Land-Marshal and Speakers at its head, waited on his Majesty to-day, to present an address of congratulation on his recovering from his late indisposition. His Majesty replied, " Gentle men, I receive with emotion the congratulation of the Estates on my recovery. The interest they have taken is my health has tilled me with the most lively gratitude. It is most delightful to a Prince to know that he is loved, and most especially when he is conscious of having done his utmost to de serve that love. Providence has fixed the term of our existence. The Christian looks forward to it with resignation, without either wishing or fearing it. But when we feel the approach of death, we more justly appreciate human infirmity. Restored to health, the days which the Almighty may still grant me shall continue to be devoted to the welfare of my people. The same zeal for the happiness of all, the same perseverance in maintaining the laws, respect for property and personal liberty, will always guide my conduct, and I hope that Heaven will bless my endeavours. I repeat to you, Gentlemen, tire assurance of my regard and Royal favour." The Chambers of the Nobles yesterday granted, by a majority of 123 to 41, the sum of three mil lions of dollars, to complete the materiel of the array. The other Chambers passed this grant some time ago. The new Spanish Charge d'Affaires, M. Assarin, lately arrived here. Since last Saturday we have had pretty severe cold, and the roads are perfectly good for sledges,— This early commencement of winter has interrupt ed, in some provinces, the kbours of the field, and will probably cause a rise in the price of corn ; but we have good reason to believe that there will not he any where a scarcity of provisions. BORSEN- HALLE, FOUR o'CLocK.—Our supplies of Wheat have been very trifling during the week, and several purchases having been made for exporta ion, as well as for home consumption, a small rise i n the price of the best qualities has been the con• Sequence. For inferior Wheat, of which the supply has not been very great, there is no demand what ever. For Rye there is but little doing, and sales can only be effected at reduced prices. Of Barley some extensive purchases have been made by our brewers,—but generally speaking, the article does not appear to be in demand. Of Oats we have received considerable supplies lately, but chiefly of inferior quality, and conse quently not easily to be disposed of. Prime qua lity continues to be in demand. During the first six days of November nineteen cargoes of Corn passed through the Sound; six were bound for British, two for Dutch, two for French, and seven for different northern ports: of two the destinations were not known.

We have received Madras Papers this morn ing to the 10th July. It is asserted that the newly acquired Provinces have become a burden, instead of a benefit, to the Government, and that they will be abandoned to the Burmese, The weather had been hot at Madras, but some salu • tary rain had fallen early in the month. Intelli gence had bee►i received from the north-east frontier of the death of Dr. BEADON, surgeon to the Political Agent, who was badly wounded in the face with an arrow at Nogundee. It was reported that only the territorial and Persian secre taries, and one Member of the Council, would attend the Governor-General -to the Upper Provinces. A well written and sensible Pamphlet has just appeared, entitled Church Reform by a Churchman. It reminds us of Dr. WITATELY'S Letters on the Church by an Episcopalian, and, if not from the same pen, is very much in the same spirit as the former publication by the Principal of St. Alban's Hall. Some of the most clear-sighted of our Bishops and Clergy, perceiving the no small degree of unpopularity attached to the Established Church, observing on the one hand the rapid progress of dissent among Christians of undoubted piety, and, on the other, the many points in the Esta blishment vulnerable to the attacks of those who openly declare their hostility to the principle of protecting or sanctioning by law any Religion whatever, are now known to have become ad vocates of a variety of changes in the system and discipline of the Church, which a very few years ago would have been regarded with horror. The internal regulation of the Church is a sub ject on which we have no desire to express an opinion ; many suggestions for alteration may he found in the pamphlets we have mentioned, and in a larger work, called " Church In quiry," which appeared last year, in which some useful information is given with regard to the American Liturgy, and the respects in which it differs from our own. But a more important consideration is, whe ther the Church would be rendered more effi cient for the end for which it was instituted, by being separated from the State altogether ? Whether it is fit, that the spiritual concerns of a Church, whose divine Founder declared his kingdom not to be of this world, should be re gulated by the King in Council ?—whether, in short, the Church ought not be left to proceed as it judges best, without being subject to the control of the civil magistrate, so long as it con forms itself to the municipal law ? The reform ing Churchmen maintain that it ought, and that its present dependence on the Government di verts the cares of its Clergy from the spiritual interests of their flocks to the temporal advan tages of themselves. 'There is much weight in these arguments, and yet the separation of the Church from the State does, under existing circumstances, appear almost impracticable. For, in the first place, it would, in such an event, cease to be the " Church of England ;" and, we apprehend, it is to the Church existing under that denomination alone, that the revenues taken by Parliament from the Cathdies at the Reformation do, in law and justice, belong. The Acts of Uniformity point out the profession of faith to be made by the occupiers of benefices, and the duty they are to perform, so as effectually to exclude any persons not being Members of the Church of England from filling the livings; but in case of the repeal of the Acts of Uniformity, as Dr. W 7 HATELY and others would wish, what is there, we should like to know, to prevent an Unitarian or a Mahometan enjoying a benefice ? Parliament appropriated the revenues of the ancient Church to a new one, whose Creed they at the same time prescribed. No man is bound to conform to that Creed against his will ; but if he does not, he must not think of being a Clergyman of the English Church, and enjoying the emoluments within the reach of such a Clergyman. That is the real state of tl►e case. If, therefore, the Church were to persist in demanding a / divorce, there is no pretence for her taking ,away the revenues which she enjoys, solely - on account of her married state. So long as the Act of Uniformity is in force, the Church must be content to submit to the controul of Par- liament, who have at all events the power to re• peal that Act, amt thereby, if they please, to place the Church on the same footing a 3 the Catholics or Dissenters. We throw out these suggestions to the Church Reformers, of whose good intentions we cannot entertain a doubt, but who may, perhaps, find themselves carried by their zeal rather farther than they would like to go. We are far from admitting that the interference of the GO/ern ment must necessarily lead to corruption ; for the Protestant Clergy in Germany and the Netherlands arc both appointed and paid b 3 the State, like the army or navy, and it does not appear to give rise to any charges of want of theological knowledge, or neglect of Christian duties. Their salaries certainly do not approach to any thing like the revenues of our Clergy, for there does not exist Church property to the amount of four or five millions per annum spe cially appropriated to their use ; but the Clergy of the Protestant persuasion throughout Ger many, and in other parts of the Continent, are certainly not inferior to those of England, either in learning, piety, or national usefulness. The most moderate computation we have ever seen, of the annual value of the benefices in Eng land and Wales, rates it at three millions and a half, exclusive of the revenues of Bishops, Deans, and Chapters. The number of rectories, vicarages, and endowed chapels is 11,342 ; if, therefore, all incumbents were equally paid, their average income would little exceed 3001. per an num. Supposing the average to be even 4001. per annum, this is assuredly not too much for the maintenance of a Clergyman in a respectable station in life ; but the evil is, that the livings vary so much, that one part of our Clergy are able to live in luxury, while the other cannot maintain their footing among the gentry. It was this very inequality that accelerated the con fiscation of the Church property in France ; it is the same thing that checks the moral influence of the English Clergy, and lowers the Church in public opinion. If Parliament has the power to interfere, and that it has cannot be seriously doubted, it is this evil that it should first endea• your to correct. The Clergy themselves call out for reform, and in due season and the fulness of time they may rely upon it they will have it ; not always in the precise manner they wish it to be given, but in such measure as the lapse of time and the welfare of the people shall satisfy Parliament it ought to be effecied. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE o'CLocr. Madras Gazettes have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 12th of July : (From the Gazette of the 11th of July.) The shipping report is blank, both as to arrivals and departures. The valuable ship Oscar, with all her cargo, was lost on the Arabian coast on the night of the 31st of May ; the loss is attributed to an error in the chronometers, and a strong westerly current. A system ef reduction has commenced in Bengal; orders have been issued for the 6th, 7th, and Bth corps of Irregular Cavalry being disbanded on the 15th proximo, with the donation of six months' pay in addition to fill arrears. (From the Gazette of June 24.) The India Gazette has furnished us with the ob ject of the Governor-General's late visit to the East—reduction. It would appear that the newly acquired provinces are rather a burthen than a be nefit to Government ; and it is rumoured that they will be abandoned to their former owners, s►nce the amount of the revenue falls short. The Commissary of the Ordnance has been reduced to a Deputy As sistant Commissary. The office of Executive En gineer has been abolished. The Deputy Commis sary-General has been reduced a grade. The offices of Marine Paymaster and Marine Storekeeper have been abolished. The flotilla has been reduced about 18 or 26 boats. Three Officers of theßornbay Marine have returned to their Government. The Political Commissioner has gone to England. The Civil Com missioners act without drawing their allowances. It is reported that Military Officers now performing the duties of Assistants to the Civil Commissioners, are to be relieved by Penang Civil Servants. rItICES OF STOC43 THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. t.ll, Ct,Ck '2l4 !..', (South Sca Stock 1 per Cent.

The Consol Market is again on the improvement. Consols, which left off yesterday at 91f to 92 for the account, opened this morning at the same price, since which they have been done at 92f for the present account, and 92f for the January account. The interview between the Bank Directors and the Government causes some excitement to our great speculators in the city. It is supposed it relates to the reduction of the Four per Cents., with some other financial measures for the relief of the mercan tile community. In the Foreign Market little doing as yet.

Although 130,0001. Consols were sold in the early part of the day, since which atsother sale has taken place, the Market continues getting up. The above Stock was taken by the jobbers. Consols may at present be quoted at 92i to 4 for the present Account, and 92-a for the January Account. It is presumed that at the closing of Consols on the 2d December that Stock will be scarce, which the speculators are taking advantage of. The New Four per Cents. shut on the 3d December. The attention of the merchants has of late been drawn to the progressive rise of the foreign ex changes, which produce at present an influx of gold into this country, which may be attributed to the balance of trade being in favour of Great Britain. 111 the Foreign Market very little business.

The Loan CH ANcELLOR scarcely knew why it should not be allowed to come on in its regular course. The Solicitor contra had no objection to that. He thought if his Lordship made an order that the matter should take its regular course in the lunatic paper, that that would do very well. Mr. HORNE said, though it might do very well for the gentleman who had just said so, yet he could not fall in with such a statement, because he was very anxious that a petition of this nature should not be kept suspended over the head of his aged client any longer than could be avoided. _ _ _ His LORDSHIP directed it to stand at the head of the lunatic 'riper. He should also read the affidavits, and if he found it necessary that the matter should be argued be fore it could come on placed there, he would let the 134 r know. HALL V. HALL. Mr. BICICERSTETH proceeded with this part-heard mo tion, which was likely to occupy a considerable portion of he day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INIUNCTION.-ELLIS V. WEBBER. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied, at the sitting of the Court, ex-parte, for an injunction to restrain the defendant Webber from setting sail out of the port of Exeter, or any other port in Great Britain or Ireland, to any place be yond the seas, in a ship called the Rose. In February, 1627, the plaintiff, Hannah Maria Ellis, became possessed of 16 shares in the ship in question, and the defendant, together with another gentleman, were entitled to the re maining shares. The defendant, Webber, acted as the ship husband, and received and paid all charges. The vessel had been several voyages, by which great profits had been made ; of those profits he had rendered no accounts to the plaintiff. Webber was about to sail another voyage in the course of 10 days, and the plaintiff, considering herself to have a lien on the ship in respect of the profits of her shares, had resorted to the only means left her for the pro tection of her rights. Miss Ellis was not aware, till the Ath of this month, of the intended sail of Webber, imme diately upon ascertaining which every diligence had been used by her. The VICE •CHANCELLOR, after some little hesitatiwn, granted the injunction. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. 110DGYINSON. This was an appeal under the Hawkers and Pedlars Act The defendant had been in the habit of purchasing harm or yeast at different times, and selling it at Nottingham to such persons as were in want of it. He was convicted by the Quarter Sessions. It was now contended, in sup port of the decision, that yeast was not included in the ex ceptions of the Act which were allowed to be so hawked. The Court decided that the conviction of the Quarter Sessions was improper. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Tim KING V. PETO. Mr. Baron Boworn came into Court this morning, and after hearing a few motions of course, he was joined by the other Judges, when Sir Cu As. WETHERELL resumed his argument in sup port of the objection to the jurisdiction of the Court raised y esterday by the Solicitor-General. The Learned Coun sel after alluding to the enormous mass of affidavits and pleadings, which he described as being sufficient to paper every room in the Custom-house, not even excluding the long one—said, he would draw their Lordships' attention to what he considered the principal point in this import ant case, viz. the construction of the statute of Henry Eighth. That statute certainly gave every facility of defence to an individual sued be the Crown, but it never intended to give two separate and distinct modes of defence to the same cause of action. It was absurd to suppose that a Crown debtor had one defence at law and another at equity. When a party was sued he must at once set up his defence, and if he can show any cause in bar of such action, he is entitled to the benefit of it, but if he fail in so doing, he has no right under the statute to ap peal to the equitable jurisdiction of this Court. Mr. KNIGHT.—If not under that statute, I shall be able to show he has such a right. Sir CHARLICS WyruaßELL—l am glad to hear you say so, but I must deny it. Mr. Peto's Counsel now say, oh, we have only failed in our legal defence, we don't mind that, as we have an equity defence to make. If this is a proper construction of the Statute, what becomes of the most eminent lawyers that ever walked Westminster Hall? Where is the value of the opinion of the Scarletts of former day,—(Great laughter)—or Pepys and Knight, of the present day? He was willing to acquit Mr. Peto of any fraudulent neglect, he was willing to acquit him of any neglect whatever, and suppose that he had, to the best of his ability, performed his part of the contract in .1 most honomrabie manner. He would eves go farther, and sup pose the falling down of the Custom-house was purely ac cidental, yet still he must contend that, under the terms of the contract entered into by Mr. Peto, he was liable to the Crown for the full penalty of the bond. Mr. Baron VAEGIIAN—The only ground pleaded on the trial by Mr. Peto in justification of breaking the contract, by not driving the piles into a bed of gravel, was that there was no bed of gravel to be found, which was nega tived by the evidence, and the Jury found on this issue for the Crown. Sir C. WETHERELL-Exactly so, me Lord, and the present proceeding is One of the utmost importance to the public, not as it regards this particular case, but if allowed, it goes to introduce another practice in all cases where the Crown is concerned, by letting in a new species of juris dictiota. The Crown would never be able to make any judgment it obtained available. If this proposition is to be supported, there is not a public officer, from a Receiver-General down to the lowest officer who gives a • bond, but what, it he should be sued for the penalty, and a verdict given against him, would turn round and say, why I have failed in my legal defence, but I have a good defence at Equity, and will file a bill in the Court of Exchequer against the Crown or against the Attorney ' General. If, as he before said, this practice was to be established, it would render all judgments obtained in a Court of Law unavailable amd nugatory, and the Crown debts must he continually locked up. The Lear ned Coun- eel conclud e d a m os t an i ma t e ,l an d e lo quen t s peed, by go" o tending that the equitable jurisdiction of this Court O A not interfere in pr e v en ting entering up judgment obt/S on a bond at common law. Mr. WRAY followed on the same side, and was s Peskig when our Reporter left. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. GODFREY V. DALTON. The Court was occupied the whole morning in har h A arguments in support of a rule obtained for a new trial this mum. CONSISTORY COURT. JUDGMENT.—WYNNE V. WYNNIC. In this case, which was a suit instituted by ti fi i Wynne against her husband for restitution of colleg g rights, Dr. DonsoN appeared on the part of the wife, `sad fe lla the proceedings in the case. In answer to an allegsti cit on the part of the husband, that at the time of marriigei the wife had an infirm husband living, affidavits we n :. produced denying the fact. Dr. Dodeon prayed 0, judgment of the Court in favour of the wife, with costa. The husband's Proctor not being in Court, some de la , occurred. On his arrival justice was prayed, and Dr. LUSHINGTON said it was the duty of the Court ° pronounce in favour of the wife. The marriage of the Po' ties in Anglesea, en the 6th of June, 1816, was Mil t proved, and no defence had been set up why judgule ri should not be pronounced in favour of the wife whirl] tbea Court could hear, he, therefore, decreed that the Lusbin should take his wife home and treat her with cortiug si affection, and make a return to such effect in the tem term ; the wife having coots. There was no other case of interest, and the Court journed. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE.

The Night before the Wedding and the Weddell Night, a new opera, taken, of course, from th l i French, and the music of which has been arrang e .' by BISHOP, was last night brought out at as° theatre. The plot is simple, as follows :—A Pe/ of officers are carousing in an inn the night ber the marriage of one them, Sir Lionel Lorimer ( 3 WooD), who boasts of his mistress's beauty, 141) of his confidence in her affection, arid challenges 801 of his companions to win her if they can. He Per duces her portrait, which all agree is extretrel beautiful, and which one of them, Valentine 4 (Mr. DEAN), recognizes as that of his lost mistre g 7 Malvina (Miss HUGHES). Valentine's serlat'; Hector (Mr. J. RUSSELL), undertakes to find out t— place of her concealment, succeeds, and infor oo her that her former lover, who she thought had (1 , 8 1 : serted her, still loves her, and is ready at all hazal„ to prove his affection. The ceremony of her IT'. riage with Sir Lionel is to take place at midniq, a plan is laid by which the lady, who is to be ) lowed by a train of bridesmaids, shall enter gi b l if chapel first and be united to Valentine, while Lionel is made to believe that the lady's atteticl 6 d i , Rose, dressed in a white robe and veil, is the herself. The plot succeeds , - and the Knight, 6n e l f that he has been outwitted, and that he is higl i ' t to blame, becomes reconciled to his disappointtn elli and consents to the marriage of ilialvina and ye t tine. Mr. DEAN, who made his debut as Valerl o possesses a voice of some promise; but time closer acquaintance with the business of the e" than he at present seems to possess , are nr7ce i , i i to qualify him for his profession.

Altogether the opera was ve r y suecesvu. SURREY THEATRE. Sir W. SCOTT'S new tragedy, entitled the goa ( of Aspen, was last night brought out at this theatre, and received with every d em onstration of reap ed and satisfaction. This play, on printed in the " Keepsake," was translated by Sir WALTER maul years ago, from the German, and was last night considerably altered in many of its incidents, to Jul the taste of a Surrey audience. It was a nnounce u for repetition, amid the applauses of a crowded house' TURN-OUT AND DISTURBANCE MANCHESTER. 3IANCIIESTER, NOV. It Another of those out-breakings of popular feellib: by which the peaceable inhabitants of this have of late been so much alarmed, has ag'ai° err curred to-day. At 12 o'clock, the hour of all the hands of Messrs. J. and W.
