IN the mean time, however, there teems to be nothing in the proceedings of the Go vernment itself which at all warrants these sanguine anticipations of improvement or change. While the Public voice of Paris has intimidated the Govern fient into a quiet abandonment of their hostile pro eedings against the daily press of the metropolis, for their publication of the resolutions of the Asso ciation in Britanny, several of the provincial Jour bnals have been prosecuted, and their editors have eets fined an d i mpr i sone d , for the mere repet i t i on the Very same resolutions—thus dealing out one 'Nature of liberty to the capital and another to the m i: winces.

We continue to experience a very good demand for Cotton, and. prices keep steady, except for lower qualities of American, which have been rather forced on the market at a decline of Fl. per lb. There is little doing at present in Indigo. k TI&E FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 91 for money and 91 for the account, opened.at the same price this morning, but at present may be quoted a shade higher, 91i for the account, with little doing. The Jamaica Mail does not bring any further ac counts from the Spanish expedition in Mexico. A vessel has arrived from Bengal with despatches, sailed on the 9th June, which is not of so late a date as previous accounts from that quarter, conse quently it cannot bring any news of importance. We understand that in consequence of the inter ference of Mr. Watts, the British Consul at Cartha gena, Mr. Miller, who was sentenced to death, has received a free pardon from Bolivar, and is to (pit Colombia.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(IIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.-GIBB V . pnii,r,frsoN. The SOLICITOR-GENERA L appeared on behalf of a gentle man, who had been arrested under particular circumstances. to pray for his discharge. A subpoena had been served upon him, when in London, to appear to be examined in this cause ; notice was subsequently serve!, that the exami nation would proceed on Oct. 13. This notice was postponed to the 17th, and again to the 22,1. In the interim he left London, went into Cambridgeshire, and returned again to town. On Monday, the 19th, as he was passing from hie lodgings along Chancery-lane to the office of the vain tiff's solicitor, to see the draft of the interrogatories to which he afterwards was to depose, he was arrested. A similar application to the present was mule to Lord Ten terden, but that Learned Judge thought a notice to attend at the Examiner's office on the 22d was not suf ficient to protect a witness in walking about the streets on the 19 , 11. The Learned Counsel, however, conceived that nothing could be more clear than that the prisoner was entitled to his discharge, according to the law of this Court. Mr. PErvs apprehended that the Learned Judge at Crown Law had been perfectly correct in the course he had taken. The prisoner, though in his affilavit he had de scribed himself to he of Bath, yet he had not resided there ~inee the year 1827; nor did it appear that Chancery-lane was the direct course from the prisoner's lodgings to the solicitor's office. The Loan CHANCELLOR still, " If the gentleman had resided out of London, and come to town for the purpose of being examined—if the examination bad been post poned, and he had stayed in London during that post ponement, he would have been protected during the whole of the time. But on looking at his affidavit, I find that on the 15th he was screed with the. sub plena in London ; and there is nothing to show that his residence was not in town. He is afterwards told his examination will not take place immediately. He then goes into Cambridgeshire, and again returns, not to a strange part, but to the same place where he resider' before in London. He is now in the same situation as if he bad not gone out of town at all. He is then told • that on the 22d he will be examined, and on the 19th he is arrested in the street; and he certainly would n t, on that he protected under a notice to attend at the Examiner's office on the 22d. But he says he was going to prepare his examination ; and the question is, whether a person who has had the notice I have de-cribed, is to be privileged in going to a solicitor's office, to read over drafts of his interrogatories, two or three days be fore he is to he examined? I apprehend there is no case to chew, it has ever been decided that a person under such circumstances would he protected in going even to the Examiner's office ; and if not, certainly he cannot be privileged in going to a solicitor's. If it had been neces sary for him to have seen the solicitor, the solicitor ought either to have called upon or to have sent to him. lam therefore of opinion that the gentleman cannot be discharged. Mr. PKPYS applied for the costs of this petition.—Granted. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. This was the second seal. WILDING V. BOLDEN. - Mr. KNIGHT applied on motion for the adjournment of the further hearing of this petition (which would stand on the paper to-morrow) till the first day of petitions after term ; and also that the affidavits already made, and to he made, might be then read. The petition contained alle gations of a most serious n Iture against a Solicitor of the Court, and prayed fur the reinstatement of 17,0001., which it alleged had been improperly abstracted from the Court. The case, it will be recollected, occupied a considerable portion of tiate previous to the lung vacation, Counsel were heard on both sides, and the matter ordered to stand over for further affidavits, the Court binding down the pi intiti to file his affidavits within the first, and the petitioner within the second month. The principal doubt originated in the pedigree of the petitioner, which his so licitor (a gentleman residing in Birmingham) was de termined, if possible, to clear up, and for that purpose exces sive labour, great diligence, and innumerable journies lad been taken, awl every exertion used. That gentleman undertook by his affidavit, upon which the present appli cation was founded, fully to prove the ease of his client, and the falsity of the registers produced by the other side, if the present application was granted. The delay could only injure the party asking for it. Mr. Sayre followed on the same side. Mr. PEMBERTON did not oppose the adjournment of the petitioner, but rcsioed strongly the allowance of filing further affidavits. If tile Court was deciding the r;ght of the parties to the 17,0001., then the evidence wished to be put in by the solicitor for the petitioner would he ma terial. The question of pedigree was not now the one before the Court. The SOLIMOR-GENERAL and Mr. LotyNnEA followed on the same side. The VICE-CHANcEt.r.on, considered the petitioner en titled to the prayer of his motion, as far as it related to the affidavits, but with reference to the petition being heard on any particular day, it would be quite obvious the Court could not appoint one. The petition was then or dered to stand over sine die, upon the understanding that if any thing material was stated in the new affidavits of the petitioner, which the respondents considered it neces sary to answer, they should he at liberty to make an ap plication for that purpose.—Costs reserved. In the course of the morning his Honour intimated to the bar that he might probably sit in the interim between the last day of term and the first seal. This, however, was not finally determined on, but the Court would take care Counsel should have full notice of such a step. • The Court rose at half-past twelve o'clock. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. COTTON V. JAMES. Sir J. SCARLETT (with whom were Mr. Baouctuma and Mr. Kru,v) stated to the Jury that this was an action by James Hulmer Cotton, an architect and surveyor, against Mr. James, an attorney, to recover goods to the value of 1161. which had been taken by the defendant, and to recover compensation in damages for the injury he had sustained by having a malicious commission of bankruptcy sued out against him. The plaintiff had once before brought his action on the same ground, and the Jury in that case had awarded him 4001. damages. The defendant then obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the Jury had returned excessive damages. This act the defendant well knew would, from the great press of business at that time before the Court, keep the plaintiff out of the money for at least six months. Before it could come on to be argued, the defendant sued out a writ of error, which would have had the effect of keeping the plaintiff out of his money for a year longer. Subse quently, however, this Court quashed the writ of error as a breach of good faith, and made the rule for a new trial absolute. The trial was expected to last the greater part of the day, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. KEY AND ANOTHER V. SHAW. This was an action brought by the assignees of Mr. Sherwin, who some time since carried on the trade of a bookseller in Paternoster-row, to recov er the . sum of 301., which the defendant had paid to the bankrupt, for six years' rent of a field, subsequent to the bankruptcy. It appears that Mr. Sherwin was made a bankitipt in the year 1821, and the plaintiffs at that time were appointed assignees. In 1823 an uncle of 11r. Sherwin's died intes tate, and without issue, leaving considerable landed pro perty, which devolved upon the bankrupt, as heir at law; and the real question for decision was, whether or not the property so obtained belonged to the creditors under Mr. Sherwin's commission. The plaintiffs' case occupied the Court until half-past one o'ciock. The cause will last the whole day. At the village of Thornton, in Dorsetshire, an ancient custom exits among the tenants of lands of depo siting five shillings in a hole, in a certain tombstone in the church-yard, which prevents the lord of the manor from taking tithe of hay during the year. This must be done on St. Thomas's Day, before twelve o'clock, or the privi lege is los% There is no truth in the report that Sir T. LF.THBRIDGE has recently disposed of his Dunster estate. Taunton Chronicle. The parties itnplicated in the robbery at the house of the Rev. W. F. HOOK, of Coventry, have been dismered by means of a singular circumstance. It ap peais that the thieves in their search fell in with a bottle of ink, which it is supposed that they mistook for port wine, as there was some left in a glass on the table. Mr. Hoot suggested to the Magistrates that this might be the means of discovering the burglars, by some of them hav ing marks of ink about their clothes. It happened a few (lays after that GARDNER, the constable, took a young man to the police-office, who was reeling about the streets in a state of intoxication, and upon examining his clothes marks of ink were found upon them.

THOMAS PARKER, (brother to the Earl of MACCLESFIELD), of Enshatt Hall, in the same county. On Friday last, Lord CLIFFORD, accom panied by Sir T. D. ACLAND, Bart. qualified as a Magis trate for the counts', at the Castle of Exeter. His Lord ship is the only Catholic who has yet qualified in this county since the passing of the Emancipation Bill.— Exeter Alfred. The Judge Advocate-General and Lady ANNE BacgErr gave a grand dinner yet.terday evening, at their residence in Stratford-place to the Austrian Anthas stdor, the Loan CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLING TON, Viscount BERESFORD, Lord GEORGE SEYMOUR, Mr. and Mrs. ARBUTHNOT, &e. One of the Commissioners of the Customs was engaged for several days last week at Southampton, investigating the circums►ances attending the late extensive seizure of smuggled silks at that port. The biscuits made at the Victualling Esta blidunetit atiFeovil, for the use of the Royal Navy, will in future, by anew process, be cut and marked at once, with the KING'S arms, i❑ the same manner as sovereigns are struck at the Mint.—Portsmouth Herald. When Captain PELLEW commanded the Her . mange frigate, as she was riding quietly at anchor, by some accidental circumstance, which was never yet ascer tained, she blew up. Captain PELLEW was pacing the quarter-deck at the time and found himself suddenly trans ported to the poop of the Admiral's ship, which was lying, at some distance, having sustained but a very trifling in jury. Nearly all else on board perished in the presence of the fleet by this untoward accident. The grand Hotel in the new town of St. Leo nard's, near Hastings, was opened on Thursday, and there were various ceremonies and amusements in commemora tion of the occasion. An excellent dinner was served up in the afternoon, at which Mr. PLANTA, and many gentlemen connected with the county of Sussex, were Ke a nt. The well-known HENRY ANGELO, who, th nigh a septuagenarian, still retains much of the wit and vigour of his youth, amused the company with some humorous songs, partiealarly one written for the occasion by his old friend GEORGE COL3IAN. MOST EXTRAORDINARY DUEL.-011 Fri day evening, Mr. the son of Sir J. B —x, and. Mr. S—., the second son of a celebrated barrister, happened to meet in a tavern in Duke -street, when a dis pute took place between them with respect to the late trials in Cork. A duel between the two gentlemen was determined on, and they yesterday morning met at Donny brook. Mr. was accompanied by Mr. B —E, and Mr. B—x by Lieutenant T— . The gentlemen fired three shots each, when Lieutenant T— called upon Mr. B----E to know if his friend was satisfied. Mr. B--E declared that he was not, and that his friend should remain on the ground until he had received an atonement for the outrageous insult that had been offered to him. Lieutenant T-- immediately said to Mr. B —e, " You are a blood-thirsty scoundrel, and you must fight yourself upon the spot." The challenge was immediately accepted by Mr. B —E, and the seconds and principals changed places, Mr. S— acting as the friend of Mr. B —E, and Mr. B—N as the second of Lieutenant T—. Upon being placed on the ground, the signal agreed on for a mutual discharge of pistols was " make ready, and fire." Mr. B E misinterpreted the signal, and discharged at the words " make ready," upon which Mr. B—N called out, that he had fired before his time. Mr. B E then said, "My opponent shall have every opportunity for firing at me." Mr. B—E then walked up deliberately towards his antagonist, and when within a short distance of him Lieutenant T— dis charged his pistol, and the ball passed between the thighs of Mr. B—s. The, moment Lieutenant T— dis charged his pistol he flung it at Mr. B . E, and struck him with the butt end of it. The instant he ,did so he perceived that he himself had been wounded in the hip, from which be then saw the blood flowing. The parties were carried off the ground by their respective friends, and it is said that the first principals in this extraordinary duel intend meeting again. The police should be on the alert, for there has been too much of this unpleasant affair.— Dublin Morning Register. We understand that Mr. M'LEOD of Gea nies lost fifty sheep in one morning of last week, from a cause equally unsuspected and extraordinary. His shep herd drove the whole flock on the farm of Geanies, con sisting of 200 Cheviots, black-faced, and lambs, into a field of barley stubble, where there was a plentiful growth of grass. The sheep remained in the field during the day, and appeared all well when put into the fold at night.— Next morning, on the shepherd entering the fold, he was amazed to find the ground covered with dead and dying sheep. The cause of this extraordinary mortality is as cribed to the flock having eaten some of the barley ears, the aunt of which had produced inflammation in the throat or stomach, during the process of rumination.— What renders the circumstance still more extraordinary is, that not one of the black-faced sheep nor lambs appeared to have suffered any injury, while out of 60 Cheviots h 0 died.— Glasgow Herald. A farmer, who some years ago held one of the best farms in Essex, aid lived, on handsome indepen dent property, like a squire, recently died in London in the most abject penury ; his wife, who hail contrived to support the family, earned her pittance by hawking about te . t ten or twelve miles a day, and had just 9,1. in the honse at her husband's death. The corpse of the deceased was carried into the country in a common road waggon to rest beside its ancestors, who knew better days, and were spared the sad spectacle of witnessing their posterity re duced to the extremity of distress.—Kent and Essex Mercury. LITERATURE. LIFE OF OLIVER CROMWELL: EDINBURGH, 1829. An impartial, a strictly and honourably im xtilir.l, life of this distinguishud republican, who has been more the subject of praiSe and abuse than almost any man that, with the exception of Napoleon, has either preceded or followed him, is yet a desideratum in English literature. With the Royalist party, Cromwell has always been• and is to this day, a demon ; with the republi cans he is an angel. Neither schism will corn iromise one iota of their opinions, or lower their exaggerated tone to the level of common sense Ind good feeling, hence we have yet in a grew degree to learn what was the extent of the Pro tector's faults—vices he had none, if we except that equivocal one of ambition—and what the range, spirit, and character of his virtues. Mr. Godwin has of late attempted to supply this de sideratum ; but he has speculated so much in his history, thrown so much more of ingenuity and fanciful opinion into it, than of Useful prac tical judgment, that he has.little, if at all, eluci dated the character anti motives of the very ex traordinary statesman of whom he treats. Adhnc sub judice lis est. The author of the present volume, which forms the forty-seventh number of Constable's Popular Miscellany, has presented us, so fur as we can at present judge, the history being not yet completed,with a very temperate, unassuming, and impartial history of Cromwell. He has investigated his subject evidently with an eager wish to come to the truth himself, and to im part it to others ; and so far deserves the respect and gratitude of his readers. To style his work makes few or no pretensions; but the sound sense of his numerous inferences more than counterbalances the homeliness of his diction. SPIRIT OF THE PLAYS Of' SHAKSPEARE. HENRI- IV., PARTS I. and 11. Mr. Howard, as we have often had occasion to remark, when commenting on his excellent, and, in many respects, characteristic Illustrations j of Shakspeare, is very happy in his groupings. j They are contrived with infinite grace and adroit ness : indeed, whatever be the number of his personages—and his delineations are frequently j crowded with them—they never create confu sion, but have always plenty of elbow-room.— With regard to spirit, Mr. Howard shines to j particular advantage in illustrating the serious and more chivalrous portions of Shakspeare's Dramas. In pourtraying humour he is infinitely less at home ; he becomes stiff, forced, and heavy—hence his Falstaff, in the present series of his Illustrations, is Falstaff only in his size. He is corpulent, but no humourist, at least not the humourist that the great dramatist has made him. His countenance wants that rich, oily, self-satisfied look of jollity and jocoseness, which those who are in the habit of reading Shak speare, cannot tail ) one and all, to ascribe to him. In Bardolph, too, Mr. Howard has equally fail ed. We see nothing of the expressive rubicund nose, which cost Falstaff a " fortune in foot links ;" nothing of that bludgeon-like proboscis which stood boldly and significantly forward, like the painted forepart of an Admiral's -As. -Mr. [Toward has pourtrayed this notable old debauchee, we see nothing but a very foolish-loOking, common-place, elderly gentleman, with a nose large indeed, but devoid of character, standing out in front of a face eloquent of burglary. We limit this censure, however, to the artist's illus tration of humour. Whenever he has to deli neate sentiment or passion he does it-with marked felicity ; in proof of which we may adduce No. 7, of the First Part of Henry IV., where Hot spur and Glendower, and some one or two others, are busy parcelling out the lands, which, like the Ministerial flatterers of King Pichrocole, they already anticipate as their own. Nothing can exceed the marked character of' this illustra tion. It sufficiently tells its own tale without any comment from us. The face of Glendower is particularly well defined. The Meeting of Hotspur is another spirited sketch, full of ex pression beyond what we should conceive it pos sible for an outline to pourtray. In the second part, Lady Percy's Expostulation with North umberland,qfter the Death of her Husband, is characterized by a just and graceful pathos, happily illustrative of the text from which the idea is taken. Altogether the two numbers, with the exception of the defects we have noticed above, are such as would do honour to the pencil and the invention of any artist of the day. They fully support Mi. Howard's previous reputation. An association, similar to that of Paris and other places, for offering legal resistance to the levy of taxes not voted by the Chambers, if such an attempt should be made, has been formed in the department of the Aube, under the denomination of " Association Troyene." —Galignancs Messenger. A few days ago a promising youth, of the name of LINDSEY, having neglected to pay a fine imposed for drunkenness, was placed in the stocks fur one hour, in front of the Guildhall, in Exeter. He appeared satisfied with his situation, smoking his pipe with great apparent delight, and calling passers to witness the representation of a new piece entitled the " Child in the Wood." On Saturday morning, the body of a young woman was found lying on the beach at Joppa, seemingly left there by the receding tide. She appears to have been about twenty years of age, small size, and small features, was dressed in a red striped gown, and black hat, and her petticoats were pinned about her alleles. From the appear ance of the hotly it did not appear to have been long in the water. It having been since learnt that the deceased was a servant in Portobello, and had been seen in company with a man who was in a state of intoxication, we understand a precognition into the cause of her death is going on before the Sheriff.— Caledonian Mercury. LANDLORDS AND TITHE-OWNERS.—The following is a copy of a circular to all the occupiers of one of the most extensive parishes in the county of Essex; and the worthy gentleman is the only resident incumbent in the hun4red, and farms his own glebe lands, of upwards of 200 acres, with as much economy and ability as the Kleist experienced farmer, and, consequently, well knows the justice of the generous act, and the expediency of the example he is setting : _ _ My dear Sir, --I have fixed on Monday, November 16, for my tithe audit; and, as I feel persuaded that the difficul ties the agriculturist has at present to contend against can chiefly be mitigated by forbearance on the part of landlords and tithe-owners, I shall be disposed to ramit SO per cent. this year on your usual payment, though such a considera tion is not made without great personal inconvenience on my part.—l am, dear Sir, your's faithfully, THOMAS SCHREIBER. Bradwell Lodge, Oct. 27. BRIGHTON, Nov. 2. It is now stated positively that his Majesty will artive at the Pavilion on or before Saturday. The domestics who, about a fortnight back, were pre paring for the Royal reception, and had been ordered to discontinue their operations, have now resumed their labours with additional hands, so that no time may be lat. Thee glad tidings are cordially re ceived by the tradesmen, and proprietors of houses, who never fail to reap a golden harvest during the presence of the King. Notwithstanding the stag 'mot state of trade and manufactures, the passion far building houses, squares, and terraces, in thi: marine metropolis, still continues. Biunswick terrace, on the West air, is nearly complete ; the houses are all of the first class, and several of them •dready inhabited. Sir Francis and Lady Burde.t are staying at the York Hotel, for a few days, until their house on Brunswick-terrace is ready. Lord lolland occupies one of the largest houses on the New Steyne, where the hospitality peculiar to this amiable and excellent Nobleman is constantly sustained, and Lady Holland is every evening,- "at Home." What are called the Whig Nobi lity and Gentry are here in great force—The Duke of Bedford, Ea I Jersey, Lord Nugent, Lord Glen !all, Earl Dudley, George Tierney, E.q. M.i'., James Barnett, Esq , the eminent Linker ; Ralph Bernal% Esq. M.P., Marquis of Bristol, Stewart Rose, Esq , Col.

He is now in prison, and the Coroner's Inqueot is sitting on the body. _ . _ The last stone of the wall connected with thP Nev Road leading to the West Cliff was laid on Sa turday ; the event was celebrated by a feast at the Yolk Hotel, where the Corporation, and the Att. thorities under them, kept it up until a late hour.--, This is, perhaps, the most advantageous improve ment that has for some years been made in this town. Pool-lane, with all its inconvenient and dirty appendages, will now be swept away. We regret to state that the " Chain Pier," so highly ornamental, and useful likewise, has totally failed as an advantageous speculatiott. The spirited indivi dual does not even collect money enough to defray the expences of the repairs of this beautiful struc ture—and there are so many divisions amongst the opinions of the constituted authorities of this place, that there is no chance that the town will contribute even to prevent from fulling into ruins this beautiful erection. Some of the pupils of the Academy of Music perform at the theatre, to-morrow evening, II Matrimonio &gra°, and a succei , sion of Italian Operas will follow.
