He was obliged to leave before the case was Called on, but he - left- his papers with a person, who now relates by affidavit what passed before the Commissioners. tie presented .the documents to them and pointed out•that the debt was included in the schedule, but the Com u.iesionera said that they had nothing to do with the schedules of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and should not attend to them. An execution was subsequently issued out against Woodward, who was sent to prison, for 40 days, and when he was discharged, instead of re ceiving the usual allowance of 2d. per day, as the prison allowance, he received only ld. per day. He swore that he verily believ e d the slid Mr. Farren, although he did Sot sit as Commissioner on that day, yet that he used an improper influence over Lis brother Commissioner, who, the complainant believes, was actuated by the improper motiv e he had alluded to. Lord TENTERDEN considered that it was a mistake of the la's', and no criminal information could issue for a mistake, unless a corrupt motive appeared by circum stances to have influenced the Commissioners. The com plainant here stated that such was his opinion, but that Was not enough ; it must be clearly shown before an in formation could issue. This is not the first time the Commissioners had refused to recognise the orders of the Insolvent Debtors' Court ; but lie (Lord T.) did not know why they did so, as there must be something in the Act to warrant that refusal, which he could not find. They were certainly bound to recognise them, and he hoped that this public announcement would correct suck mis takes in future. Mr. Justice Pam: said that he had heard of other Com- Misaioners in the same part of the country pursuing the same course ; but they were hound to receive this sort of defence as much as any other.--Rule refused. • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. This being what is termed " the Grand Bail Day," the Court was occupied the whole morning in bearing justifi eifions of bail. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Mr. Baron BOLLAND entered the Court this morning With the other Judges, and took his scat with the usual furmili ties, as one of the Barons of the Exchequer.

Our farmers' supply of Wheat to-day was smaller than of late, and much of it being of very inferior quality, tEe best samples sold readily, at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter. The bulk of the Oats were in poor condition, and that trade ruled heavily, at a decline of Is. per quar ter. Several of our maltsters are still holding off, as many of the samples of Barley have turned out badly upon trial, and that trade is heavy for all but the finest parcels. Malt dull.

The business done in Wheat was to needy buyers, at last week's price, as those who hold any stock are waiting for it to be lower. The demand for grinding Barley is limited, and Oats barely support last Saturday's rates. Boiling Pease are dull, and Beans the turn cheaper. The Malt market is still languid.

There was a moderate arrival of Wheat last week, but •abundance of Batley, and a gad supit'sy of - Oats and Flour. This morning there is a small fresh supply of nearly all descriptions of Corn. The few good samples! of Wheat that appeared went off readily at a trifling im provement in value, but other kinds meet only a moderate demand at last quotations. Barley of fair quality has sold rather mare freely than on Friday, and maintains the terms of last Monday, but middling and ordinary parcels are Is. to 2s. ler quarter lower. Beans and Pease both fully maintain their late quotations. Good Oats sell on the same terms as this day se'nnight, but for other qualities less prices must he taken to make sales. The top price of Flour is unaltered, but middling qualities are sold fog less money than last week. PRICES ON 80. Wheat, Iled (old) 4Bs. '7os. -White (old) 555. '7Bs. --Red 0829) 44s. 48s.

The 65th Light Infantry will return to Cork in the transpot is which conveyed out the 24th. This happy intelligence dissipates the alarm entertained for the latter regiment. The 66th regiment were inspected on the plains of Abra ham by Sir James Kempt, on the 3d October, and the 68th Regiment were inspected on the Bth, prior to their embarkation.

A district Court-martial was held on Monday, in the Barracks of Castlebar, on trial of a private of the 15th Foot, who had deserted from the regiment on its march to Cork, at which place it embarked from Quebec, three years since. The Court-martial was attended by the com manding, and several other officers of the 61st depot, stationed at Ballinrobe. The result has not yet transpired. The Court-martial on Lieut. Hely, 7th Dragoon Guards, at Ipswich, concluded on Wednesday, when the President and members transmitted their decision to the Horse Guards. The charges were, for contracting a debt of 38/. with the mess:non of the regiment, which was not paid, though frequently applied for—borrowing 101. of a waiter, 'Which he promised to pay, but neglected—giving various bills of exchange for money to Paymaster Serjeant Gauley, of the regiment, some of which were returned unpaid, there being no funds for the same—and finally, owing a sum of 741. to the Paymaster.

The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honour able Privy Council had a meeting at eleven o'clock on Sa turday morning, in the Privy Council Chamber, White hall ; those present were the Loan PRESIDENT, Lord WYNFORD, the JUDGE of the ADMIRALTY COURT, and the Right Hon. HUGH ELLIOTT. The further hearing of the case " Reviverkirk v. Reynolds," from Berbice, was re sumed. When this appeal was disposed of, ex-parte " Stewart v. White," from Lower Canada, was heard by their. Lox dships. The next appeal was one of considerable importance, of a mortgage on an estate in Demerara, of upwards of 100,0001., that of " Moliere v. Leach," from Demerara. Lord WYNFORD, on the part of their Lord ships, fixed the c'aim of the appellants at 77,0001. The last case, " Nicholls v. Le Gallais," from Jersey, was an appeal against payment of an attorney's bill for working out a case of bankruptcy, on the ground that he did not produce the items of his charge. The amount of the bill (751. 175.) was the same as that of an officer engaged in the same case, and it was argued by the respondent's Counsel, that it was an invariable rule in the island to allow the same fees to the attorney as to the officer in question ; and the courts in Jersey, by whom the pro ceedings had been confirmed, might be supposed to be competent to correct 'any surcharge. The judgments of these courts were, however, reversed by their Lordships, on the ground that the items in the bill ought undoubtedly to be inserted. Lord WYNFORD, in delivering judgment, also pointed out certain charges in the greffier's bill, for which there could not be any counterpart in the respond ent's bill, while, at the same time, the amount of the two bills was made to come directly to the same to a fraction. ' The whole of the cases set down for hearing having been disposed of, their Lordships adjourned at four o'clock. MIDHURST SCHOOL.—On Monday, the 9th instant, the Trustees of this Foundation met to elect a Master, on the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Rev.

I This eminent inlividual, late President of the United States, and ilt , 3 original framer of the celebrated Declaration of Itt;lependence which levelled the first blow at the supremacy of Eng land over America, appears—it we may form an opinion from the volumes before us—to have been a man eminently qualified for the task, if not of rousing his countrymen, at least of setting them to think, and as a necessary consequence, where not only their liberties but their very lives were at stake, to decide. Cool, calculating, and adventurous, fond of experiment, indefatigable in his attention to business, and what is of nearly equal importance, blessed with a frame and constitution . of iron, Mr. Jefferson early established an influence over the minds of his countrymen which he preserved unimpaired to the last moment of his very varied and patriarchal existence. Like the late Dr. Franklin, his genius seems to have been of the Utilitarian kind. He had little fancy, less imagination, no eloquence to animate his friends, nor sarcasm to daunt his foes ; but possessed instead, a wary practical good sense that never for an instant deserted him, mixed up with a restless activity of intellect—amounting at times to what we might call fidgetiness—that forbade him to know the luxury of repose. He talks indeed occasionally of his wish to retire from public into private life ; but a word—a request—even an indirect intimation from Washington, are quite sufficient to subdue his avowed (though probably discredited) inclinations on this head. In the present volumes he comes forward as the plain unadorned recorder of those stirring events that ushered in his country's regeneration. ii To history his work makes no pretensions, being nothing more than a dry journal of facts, valuable onlyto those who may desire to acquaint themselves with the causes and effects of one of the most momentous public events that ever occurred in any age or country. One thing, however, it possesses, which is both curious and instructive to the general reader, and that is the history of the Declaration of Independence in its progress through Congress, together with a detail of the alterations and erasures that from time to time were made in it, in order to adapt it to the taste and feelings of the Ame ricans. These alterations, it may be worth while to remark, were chiefly of a conciliatory nature, and clearly prove how stubborn, fixed, irrational, and ungenerous must have been that opposition, on the part of Lord North and his colleagues, which preferred an appeal to arms, where all might have been lost, to a conciliatory demeanour, where all might have been preserved. But the destinies of America were in higher hands than those of man, which prepared her for and sustained her during the struggle, and eventually worked out her freedom. Among the most interesting passages in Mr. Jefferson's Memoir, is his brief but succinct account of the causes that hastened forward the French Revo lution. He was in Paris at the time, an acute, practised, and interested observer of passing events, and must therefore be considered, despite his stern democratic tendencies, as first-rate au. thority on the subject : " Celebrated writers of France and England had already sketched good principles on the subject of Government; yet the American revolution seems first to have awakened the thinking part of the French nation in general from the ' sleep of despcfsm in which they were sunk. The officers, too, who had been to America, were mostly young men, less shackled by habit and prejudice, and more ready to assent to the suggestions of common sense, and feeling of common rights, tha❑ others. They came back with new ideas and impressions. The press, notwithstanding its shackles, began to disseminate them ; conversation as sumed new freedoms; politics became the theme of all societies, male and female, and a very extensive and zealous party was formed, which acquired the appella tion of the patriotic party, who, sensible of the abusive Government under which they lived, sighed for occa sions of reforming it. This party comprehended all the honesty of the kingdom, sufficiently at leisure to think; the men of letters, the easy burgeon, the young nobility, partly from reflection, partly from mode; for these senti ments became matter of mode, and as such, united most of the young women to the party. Happily for the nation, it happened, at the sante moment, that the dissipa tions of the Queen and Court, the abuses of the pen • sion-list, and dilapidations in the ad•ninistration of every branch of the finances, had exhausted the treasures and credit of the nation, insomuch that its most necessary fuuctions were paralyzed. To reform these abuses would have overset the Minister; to impose new taxes by the. authority of the King, was known to be impassible, from the determined opposition of the Parliameat to their en registry. No resource remained, then, hot to appeal to the nation. He advised, therefore, the call of an assembly of the most distinguished characters cf the nation, in hope that, by promises of various and valuable improve ments in the organization and regimen of the Govern ment, they would be induced to authorise new taxes, to contrcl the opposition of the Parliament, and to raise tine annual revenue to the level of the expenditure. An As sembly of Notables, therefore, about one hundred end fifty in number, mimed by the King, convened on the 22d of February. The Minister (Calenne) stated to them, that the annual excess of expenses beyond the revenue, when Louis XVI. came to the throne, was thirty-seven millions of livres; that four hundred and forty millions had been borrowed to re-establish the navy ; that the American war bad cost thorn fourteen hundred and forty millions (two hundred and fifty-six millions of dollars), and that the in terest of these sums, with other increased expenses, had added forty millions more to the annual defiait. (But a subsequent and more candid estimate made it fifty-six millions.) He proffered them an universal redresa of grievances, laid open those grievances fully, pointed out sound remedies, and, covering his canvass with objects of this magnitude, the deficit dwindled to a little accessory, scarcely attrrcting attention. The persons chosen were the most able and independent characters in the kingdom, and their support if it couhl be obtained, would be enough for him. They improved the occasion for redressing their grievances, and agreed that the public wants should be re lieved; but went into an examination of the causes of them. It was supposed that Calonne was conscious that his accounts could not bear examination; and it was said, and believed, that he asked of the King, to send four members to the Bastile, of whom the Marquis de la Fayette was one, to banish twenty others, and two of his Ministers. The King f•Jund it shorter to banish him. His successor went on in toll concert with the Assembly. lhe result was an augmentation of the revenue, a promise • of economies in its expenditure, of an annual settlement of 1 t he public accounts before a council, which the Comptrol- Ire, having been heretofore obliged to settle only with the King in person, of course never settled at all ; an acknow ledgment that the King could not lay a Lew tax, a re formation of the criminal laws, abolition of tertuee, eel)- ! pression of corvees, reformation of the gabelles, removal of the interior Custom-houses, free commerce of grain, in ternal and external, and the establishment of Provincial Assemblies; which, altogether, constituted a great mass of improvement in the condition of the nation." The second volume consists mainly of Mr. Jef.! ferson's correspondence with Adams, Washing ton, Franklin, and numerous other eminent in dividuals in Europe as well as in America; but as these letters refer for the most part to official facts and documents, whose interest has now in a great degree gone by, we 5!..a1l content our selves with stating that to the reader who wishes to perfect his acquaintance with the American revohltiOn, they w;il 1,.

It may be recollected that some time back a bill was filed in the Court of Chancel y by Capt. Garth, the allege!' natural son of General Garth by a lady of illustrious birth, for the recovery of a certain box of papers relating to his private history, which had got into the hands of Messrs. Paul, Snow, and Co., whom they had been deposited by Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Charles Molloy Westmacott, the proprietor of the Age newspaper. The Lill set forth the circumstances under which this box was deposited in the hands of the parties in question, and at the time excited much inquiry, although the contents of the papers w: re kept a secret. Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westmacott have now filed their answers to the bill, and the case will, of course, in due time, come before the Lord Chancellor for adjudication. From the answers in question, it appears that the complainant, Captain Garth, had contrived to get possession of the box of papers alluded to from his father, who was highly indignant at the circumstance, especially as at that time he was labouring under indisposi tion ; that these papers contained doc uments an d correspondence touching the birth of the said Capt. Garth, the publication of which would have deeply wounded the feelings of certain high personages; and that with a view of obtaining money to relieve himseif from the embarrassments under which he laboured, the Captain threatened, and actually de termined, to give them publicity. For this pur -1 pose he applied to Mr. Westmacott, who, on ascer taining their character, thought it more advisable Ito adopt a different course, and having apprised Sir Herbert Taylor and Captain Garth of the objects of the gallant Captain, a negociation was com menced, with a view, on the part of Sir Herbert Taylor and _General Garth, of r ega i n i ng posses sion of the papers and destroying them. The ob ject of this negociation was of course to learn the terms upon which Captain Garth would consent to part with the papers ; and after repeated interviews between Sir H. Taylor, Charles F. Williams, (on the part of General Garth), and Mr. West macott, who acted as the authorised agent of Cap tain Garth, it was agreed to pay Captain Garth's debts, the amount of which he stated to be 8,0001., and to grant him an annuity of 2,4001. a-vear, half of which was guaranteed by Sir Herbert Tay lor, and the other half by Mr. Williams, on the part of General Garth. These preliminaries ad justed, the gallant Captain received 3,0001. in ad vance; and in November last delivered the myste rious box to Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westma cott, with a solemn pledge that it contained all the papers it was supposed originally to hold, and that nothing had been withheld, nor had copies or ex tracts been taken therefrom. The box was imme diately tied round with tape, and sealed with the seals of Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westmacott, and was by them deposited in the hands of Paul, Snow, and Co., the bankers, who gave a receipt for it, with an understanding that it was not to be re-delivered unless under the joint authority of the said Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westmacott. Mr. Westmacott was then desired to take steps to arrange Captain Garth's affairs, but that he found impossible; the Captain did not adhere to his old list of creditors, but incurred new debts, kept up a ruinous establishment at Mel ton, and, to crown all, divulged to divers persons the secrets of the box, added to which, it turned out that he had reserved copies of the contents of the papers. Still Sir Herbert and General Garth (his father) were willing to save him from destruction, and it was agreed to increase the sum for the liqui dation of his debts to ten thousand pounds, and his annuity to three thousand pounds per annum, upon condition that he retired to the Continent till his af fairs.were arranged; but he was deaf to every remon strance, persisted in his extravagant career, and thus rendered it impossible to effect the laudable objects which were in contemplation. As for the papers, it was at first denied that they were Capt. Garth's at all; next, that Mr. Westmacott had a lien upon them fur money advanced by him for Captain Garth : and lastly, that by his own breach of covenant he had forfeited all right to their restoration ; whereas, if he had complied with the wishes of those who had his interest at heart, all that had been promised would have been fully accomplished. No allusion is made to the nature of the papers in the box, and Sir Herbert Taylor disclaims all know ledge of their contents, but says that he believes their publication would be painful to the feelings of the party for whom he is interested. Prince LEOPOLD is still in Paris, but he is expected to leave on the 15th or 16th, so as to arrive in London by the 21st. He is accompanied by Sir ROBERT GARDINER, and it is said that the fair companion of his leisure hours at Claremont has also formed part of his tra velling suite. The movements of his Royal Highness since his arrival in Paris have caused some interest, as it has been reported that he is one of the candidates for the new throne which the allies propose to erect in Greece. The Prince himself ati,cts to laugh at the report, and to treat it with discredit; nevertheless many persons about the Court, who are considered to be well informed, declare that solve project of the kind is actually on foot, and that the Prince has had frequent interviews with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs on tl.e subject. It is not known hew far this may be true; but certainly he had had very frequent conferences with the KING and the Duke of ORLEANS, the I:tter of whom seems to be a sort of medium of communication between the Prince and the KING when they do nut correspond personally.— Court Journal. Lord HERTFORD is now on the eve of his departure for Italy, from whence he will return in June next, to his villa in the Regent's Park. His Lordship has invited a number of his immediate friends to accompany him on his tour, sufficient to fill three carriages; and as the party is to he entertained along the route with his Lordship's usual splendid hospitality, it should become a matter of careful avoidance to other travellers. Very few foreign inns can manage to feast and lodge more than one f•anily of this extensive and monopolising character; and Lord HEwrroftn's princely 1 abits are already too well known on tha Continent to admit of oompetition. Count MATUCEWITZ, the Russian Minis,. ter on a special mission to this country, left town on Sa turday, on his return to St. Petersburgh. Among those branches of our national indus try which may be said to have manifested a change for the better of late, the silk trade may be named, perhaps, with greater certainty than any other, although the rate of pros fit is low, and must necessarily continue so for a long time. A letter received this morning from 'Macclesfield by an eminent house in the silk trade, alluding to the sfilksthrow,ters of that place, Congleton, and the neighbourhood, where but recently the distress of the working classes was severe and general, says—" The throwsters are all so fully employ ~~ ',re advance." that it is scarcely possible to get any thing thrown handy a h n a d ve w r a e g a e s s on ra to th i e „ r :. on in all sl b l e its t h ! -neve, more or less, 2aufacture of silk is carried on ; and, to refer to a mor, dec ,; ( 6l becoming I d 'cg i a st ss r ec i a c i tl e' e :v here the ms proof that we are doing well in this branch ; it May be mentioned, that according to all account* te;;eived • lately from Lyons and other manufacturing, depots in France, the silk trade there is quite paralysed. Those places which it was predicted were to ruin the English artistn, and rise to prosperity upon his ruin, are in a state of extreme distress, and the local manufacturers now fitly- confess that they are beaten out of the market tly this country; that they ere not only unable to pay the protective duty cf 30 per cent., but that the t wemaini of 15 per cent, at teLleh the smuggler will undert!ke their introductina, equally disqualifies them from woe king to advantage as regards the supply of Eng land. In tips opinion of the persons who may be, presumed best informed of the state of the silk trade between the tench and us, a few fancy articles, forming a very small per ccnta e on the whole amount of our consumption, are all that they are now able to send us at a profit.--Afeen . ' Paper, OURNALS. Justice may be slow, even where sur rounded by difficulties and obstructions, it is for the most part sure. The celebrated Garth case has not been compromisd—it is still going on. The person whose name it hears, is determined, it seems, on making his antagonist bend to him, awl recovering his box of papers, , the mysterious.. awful, or, as the result may prove, the - damning papers, which a desperate einrt no doullt, will be made to destroy or suppress, that some colour may be given to the step in the transaction, viz., the maintaining solemnly that such papers exist not, and never have existed. • A bill was some time ago filed in the Court of Chancery by the individual whose reputed, or pretended, name is Garth, for the recovery of " a certain box of papers, which had got into the hands of Messrs. Paul, Snow, and Co., with whom they had been deposited by Sir Herbert Taylor and another person." We do not insinuate that there is, or ever has been, any connection between Sir Her bert and his co-trustee or co-agent on this occa sion, beyond that which has of necessity from the accident, independent of Sir Herbe:t own wishes or desires, which brought two per sonages so remote by station and history from each other, into a sort of technical proximity, as partners in the same un precedented and indeed revolting trust.— Sir Herbert and his colleague, by name West macott, have now filed their answers ; and front them it appears that the complainant had con trived to get surreptitiously from General Garth, his reputed father, the box of papers in question ; that these papers contained documents and cor respondence, touching the birth rf the said Captain Garth, the publication of which would have deeply wounded the feelings of certain high personages, and that to relieve himell from pe cuniary embarrassment, Garth threatened, and actually resolved, to publish them ! A negocia lion ensued, the object of which was on one side to recover and destroy the papers, and on the other to get the highest price for them. The public will judge of the flight entertained in some quarters lest these documents should be made public, by the sums which, on the ice of Sir Herbert Taylor's affidavit, he was authorized by the principals for whom he acted to guaran tee to Garth for their suppression. Sir 'Herbert did actually, on his own showing in the affidavits now inserted, offer Garth the payment of debts to the amount of 8,000/. ; and that he (Sir Herbert) and General Garth, between them, should obtain for him a pension of 2,4001. a year, or 3,000/. a year, f they could. Three thousand a year, and 8,000/. ! We wonder who the man might be whose " feelings" or " repu tation" could be wounded to the extent of suet' enormous sums, by the publication of papers re cording the birth and parentage of any person living. Circumstances of extraordinary guilt and disgrace must unavoidably be inferred as the grounds of such prodigal solicitude. However, the affidavits are worth reading. Garth, it seems, has attested copies of the papers, let what will become of the originals concealed in the box, 7imes. A good deal of misconception prevails with regard to what is meant by dissolving the Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Most of our contemporaries who have written on the subject, suppose that Mr. O'Connell means, by dissolving the Union, to separate Ireland from Britain. He means no such thing. In a sp eee l i delivered by him at the St. Peter's Orphan Charity Dinner, he thus expressed himself:— " As an Irishman, he felt that Irishmen of all sects and denominations were degraded in the degradation of their common country ; and he thanked his God, that he, at least, was not. of that abject temperament to submit to it without impatience.—(Loud cheers.) What people were ever well governed who did not govern themselves ? No man's private concerns were managed who did not attend to them him self, and national concerns and private afFairs were regulated upon similar principles.—(Hear, hear.) The total indifference of the linglis}l Legislature to Irish affairs was acknowledged Mr. Peel. So evident was it, that upon any Irish measure it was hardly practicable to pro, cure what was called a House. Indeed the English Parliament had in reality more than it could well do with its own affairs, to be com petent to theirs.—(Hear, hear.) The Eng lish people had no interest in having our hun dred Irish Members to help them to legislate. The English people were under no obligations to the Irish Members. There was not a gate Ministerial job—there was not a nor a wasteful expenditure—there was not an i n f r i nge . f.,1 violence upon fluister did not find meat upon liberty, nor an act the people, for which the in the Irish Members faithful and sub serv i en t abettors and partisans. It was the interest of England, as a nation, to have Ireland well go verned, and she could only he well governed by a domestic Parliament. With a good Govern ment, which Ireland has uot yet had, she would become a prosperous and rich nation, which she can never be without it—and if she were prosper.. sus, instead of being a burthen to England, she would be her best consumer, her faithful ally in war, and her usefid friend in peace.—(Cheers.)— It was the interest of England, therefore, to give Ireland her own Parliament ; but, what he thought of much more, it would he the interest of Ireland." In most of the countries of the Continent, the Government decides every thing. a road is to be made or bridge repaired, re presentations from the spot must he made to the central authority, and in due course of time the central authority either approves or disap proves of the proposition, No sort of Govern ment can well be worse than this. In this country again all is anomaly. There is - that may be done by individuals in improvement or alteration. Par' townships, form little rep , ' meat of Sairs cone , and county tots--• ..luell ale way of _.sties again, and -ones for the matiage the neighbourhood ; ..-sings arrange matters for a still ...cialibourhood. But then; again, we ...ve a Parliament, which not only regulates the affairs common to Britain and Ireland, and the dependencies in all parts of the globe, but arro-. gates to itself all manner of details respecting private property and local improvements. If A and B vish, under the pretext of improvement, to rob C and D, they give notice of a Bill in Parliament, and immediately a canvass com mences, with a view to try which party is most powerful in influencing Members of Parliament. Parliament does every thing, and does nothing of what it should do. It may be truly said, therefore, of the system of this country, that it comprehends much that is excellent, and much that is . detestable. When it was first proposed to unite England and Scotland, Fletcher, of Salton, opposed the measure on nearly the same principles which afterwards prevailed in the Fe deral Union of the United States, and which we conceive are productive or great advantage to thc-, Americans. Every ol!C knows that the Unit larger T•
