FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated June 23.) PARIS, JUNE 22.—The Austrian Observer gives the news from Constantinople, which are in sub stance the same as those which we have taken from the Augsburgh Gazette. The Russian vessel taken by the Capitan Pacha is a frigate of forty-five guns, with a crew of 400 men, who have been sent to the Baguio. Though the Pore has published nothing official respecting the affair of Pravadi, it was sati.,fied with the result, for it had bestowed caftans of honour on the couriers who brought the news. Redsehid Pacha stands so high in the confidence of the Sultan, that the most extensive powers have been given him for the management of the war. The considerable supplies of corn which had lately arrived within the capital, as well as the favourable appearance of the harvest in the Asiatic provinces, had caused the price of provisions to fall. Two Mihmandars, Arni Effendi and Namick Effendi, having - the rank of Capidgi Bachis, had been appointed, the first to attend upon Mr. Gordon, the second to go and meet Count Guilleminot.

AWFUL EFFECTS OF A THUNDER STORM. About half-past five o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday last, Ongar and its vicinity was visited by a dreadful storm of thunder, accompanied by light ning, from the effects of which a windmill, the pro perty of Mr. Rayner, situated at Toot-hill, in the parish of Stanford Rivers, was nearly destroyed, and the miller was so shockingly mutilated that his re covery is considered doubtful. A very heavy cloud ‘vas observed to descend over the mill, which stands kiln% an eminence, and at the same instant a hissing noise was succeeded by an explosion resembling the discharge of artillery. The wife of the unfortunate miller, hearing the report, opened 'the door of her cottage, and was first to observe the unthought-of calamity : she was nearly suffocated by the sulphu 'Tow vapour which impregnated the air, and quickly filled the house. She had scarcely viewed the appalling demolition of the mill, when the heart rending shrieks of her husband, calling fur assist ance, met her ear. In a state of distraction she alarmed Mr. Randal, a neighbour, who, with se veral others, soon assembled ; but the awful spec tacle so tivetted them to the spot, that some time elapsed before sufficient courage enabled them to ascend the stairs. A young man, (nephew to Mr. Rayner,) as soon as he was aware of the circum un.inte, without hesitation led the way, and, follow ed by others, immediately went to the assistance of the unfortunate sufferer. The scene which pre sented itself on reaching the second floor baffles all description. The poor man was discovered lying upon a sack, his head most shockingly and inde scribably lacerated—his right leg hung over the ladder communicating with the fist floor, and was connected with his body by a small portion of flesh only—the bone protruding through the stock ing. His right eye was so/injured that its powers of vision are, it is supposed, for ever destroyed, and his right hand was mangled in a frightful man ner. Apparently insensible of pain, and regard less of the injuries he had sustained, his first in quiry was as to the state of the mill and corn. When the spectators had recovered from the alarm excited by the mutilated appearance of the sufferer, they conveyed him to a house, and the assistance of a surgeon was speedily obtained. Upon further examination, large splinters of wood, and even grains of wheat from the hopper, were found driven into various parts of his body. The hair of his head was much sing ed. In short, the unfortunate man presented a horrible spectacle. The most singular pene tration of the fluid was observable in the partial de struction of a pad in the neckcloth which be wore at the time. His hairy cap was found lying by his side, torn into innumerable pieces, and the floor was coverei with blood. Mr. Potter, surgeon, of Ongar. assisted by several other professional gentlemen, re moved the leg. Owing to the splintered state of the bone, the use of the saw became necessary, but from the skilful metier in which this operation was performed, the poor man suffered comparatively but little. To describe the state of the mill is a task more difficult, but less painful. The lightning, it would appear, first struck the middlings end, a term given to some iron braces which afford support to the sails, and proceeded in the track of a number of bolts, removing some and slightly touching others, until it reached the neck, when it took the parcels, and then commenced its work of destruction in the interior of the mill by shivering a great part of the nearly new oaken shaft. The fluid continued its course in nearly the centre by the sack-chain, and on reaching the second floor came in contact with the beam and scales, forcing two half-hundred weights through the side of the mill. lii its progress thus far, it completely cut off two of the sails, which it split into innumerable pieces, and hurled to an incredible distance. Some of these fragments were found sticking in the earth so firmly as to require great strength to effect their removal. The roof of the mill was struck off in a similar manner, and the sides were nearly stripped of their boarding. The ceiling of the mill was divided and thrown on either side upon the grass. The machinery was thus completely exposed to the view, enclosed in the skeleton build try. The two other sails remain in their places, but will need much repair to make them again fit for use. The whole of the machinery was deranged, and the cloths, where nailed, were much burnt. The electric fluid having availed itself of nearly all the iron in the mill, forced its way out by tearing up the flooring, and cutting a piece of the sheer-tree away, thus escaping on to the iron sheeting which covered the round house. Part of this it raised, and concluded its destructive course by passing down the back of the stairs, which were iron braced, and forcing out a number of very strong iron-nutted screws, finally disappeared in the earth, making a cavity to a con siderable extent. Even a pen in the inkstand did not escape, it being singed, as were also the brooms and brushes.—Essex Herald. We understand that Mr. Secretary PEEL has purchased the elegant estate at Wallington Hall, near Lynn, and that he intends it as the resort of his rural excursions. —Boston Gazette. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when General the Earl of DAL- G,C.8., was sworn in as Commander-in-Chief of the Company's Forces, and Second Member of Council in Bengal. Lieutenant-General Sir THOMAS SIDNEY BECKWITH, K.C.8., was also sworn in as Commander of the Company's Forces, and Second Member of Council at Bombay. Mr. SHARPE, the well known publisher, will commence a new periodical work on the first of the next mouth, under the title of TIIE THREE CHAPTERS ; it con tains, besides essays, criticism, biography, and a picture of manners and society, a portion of the " AsiNivEasAß.V," together with one of the plates, beautifully engraved, for the forthcoming volume of that popular Annual, which is to he given in twelve parts, in monthly numbers, so as to form the work complete at the end of a year, as a 'Mid summer Annual ; this constitutes one of the Chapters. The second and third, in a similar manner, will form two separate volumes at the same period ; and the novelty of the design which unites the Annual with the Magazine, the beauty of the embellishments, the talent of the literary contributions, and its moderate price, will, we have no doubt, render it highly popular. ST. KATHERINE'S DOCKS.--The Anna ;Karin, 275 tons register, belonging to Mr. DUKE, of the Coal Exchange, arrived from the Mauritius on Saturday last, and her cargo of upwards of 400 tons of sugar was delivered in the above dodos on Tuesday, in the short space of eight hours and a half, being an instance of unprece dented despatch in the delivery of so large a cargo. abr LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1829. The Session of Parliament which terminated yesterday, has been remarkable for two things ; first, the general distrust and excitement under the influence of which it commenced its labours ; secondly, the halcyon calm and flattering appear, ances that ushered in its dose. At the open ing of the political campaign, England was manifestly drifting down the torrent of anarchy and confusion ; already she was within hearing of the falls, when Government, like the soldiers of Attila, promptly and opportunely diverted the course of the channel, let off the tumultuous waters, and brought the Constitution in safety to her moorings. This great object once effect- ed, the chief interest of the Session was clearly at an end. No fluffier paramount importance could attach to it. Men's minds exhausted with the previous excitement required relaxation ; they either could not or would not attend to business, and by such display of inactivity gave a tone to the conduct of Government, and ne cessarily imparted to its proceedings an air of doubt, hesitation, and timidity. If Houses cannot be made up, Ministers it is clear cannot legislate. For one thing, however, the Administration is itself wholly responsible—we allude to the ex. elusion of Mr. O'CONNELL. This very impo. litic act, which has tended in some degree to renew the agitation of Ireland, and neutralize the courteous spirit of the Emancipation Bill, has already been attended with most mischievous effects. It has shown Government the futi- lity of its opposition, and O'CONNELL the amount of his influence. It has compelled the former to submit, and enabled the latter to triumph. In spite of every attempt to the con trary, the Liberator will next year take his seat in the House of Commons, after having but too successfully, and with some show of justice, pre- judiccd the minds of a vast tnass of the Irish whom the Catholic Relief Bill was meant ex- nressly to conciliate. Why, how, or under what circumstances, this great political oversight was made, it is impos sible for us to conjecture. As the act of an Ad ministration which took credit to itself for the lofty temper of its liberality, it is, to say the least of it, unaccountable. It forms neither part nor parcel of its declared principles, but stands singly out in the foreground, a disjointed object, an artificial limb clumsily grafted on a healthy body. Had it not been for this act, our admiration of the Government would have been perfect ; as it is, the " web is of a mingled yarn." Passing from this ungracious topic—which, however, leads us to suspect the existence of some strange secret influence, greater than, and partially opposed to, the Administration—we come to the present state of parties. These, just now, are of the most unsettled, desultory, and undecided character. They have neither form, consistency, nor stamina ; but are the mere shadowings forth of two leading political sects, into which, probably by next Session, either House of Parliament will be divided. At present the Whigs and moderate Tories are Minis terial ; the Ultras are sulky and in opposition; and the CANNINGITES-a small but sturdy and influential band, formidable by their talents, and still more so by their fixed habits of busiuess— are resting on their oars, looking apparently neither to the right nor left, but still keeping au attentive and interested eye on the movements of either party. In this unsettled state of the political atmos phere, when nothing positive can be adduced, we have every reason to hope that those who now guide the helm will, by the accession of the mo derate men of all classes, become consolidated into one dominant party, under the denomination Cif it must have a name) of Liberal Tories. The Ultras are clearly at their last gasp —requiescant in pace !—the Whigs have few or no pretences for holding off, (the Portuguese Question will, we doubt not, be arranged to their satisfaction ;) and the CANNINGITES cannot be dispensed with. Under these circumstances, a union of the Go vernment party with that of Mr. BROUGHAM'S awl Mr. HusxissoN's, is manifestly the only thing %laming to ensure to the country the services of the most powerful, accomplished, and efficient Ministry it has ever yet known. The French Papers contain nothing worthy o comment. The following are extracts from Prussian and German Papers, received this morning. It will be seen that the Russians have had sharp work of it in a desperate sally made by the Turks from. Silistria. If the Turks carry on in this manner, the troops of his Imperial and moderate Ylit JESTY have little chance : BUCHAREST, JUNE 2.—According to accounts from Kalarasch of 31st May, the Pacha of Silistria was said to have made a vigorous sally from the fortress, and to have destroyed several of the works thrown up by the Rus sians, till after a sanguinary action he was driven back into the fortress. Eight hundred wounded have been brought over the Danube to Czulesti. General Malinof sky is said to be among the slain, who distinguished him self at the taking of Tourn9ul; and a General of Artillery, Kutshuk Achim(' Pacha, is said to have been continually at the head of his troops during the sally, and to have en couragel them by his impetuous courage. The loss of the Turks is also said to have been very great. Persons ac quainted with the Pacha of Silistria agree that he is.justly considered as one of the most inveterate enemies to the Christians, and especially to the Russians, in all the East. This hatred is the ground of his cruelty to the wounded and prisoners. _ . AUGSBURG'', JUNE 18.—A letter from Constantinople of the 26th May repeats the account of the Capitals Paella's expedition to the Black Sea, and the capture of a frigate. With respect to the affair at Pravadi, it is stated that the object of the Turks was to cut off the communication be tween Varna and Kovarna, and that Alisch Paella, with his cavalry, attacked and dispersed a Russian corps, and would doubtless have succeeded in his object in reaching Kovarna had not General Roth, on the first news of the appearance of the Turks near Pravadi, detached a strong column of infantry, which arrived just in time to cover the road to Kovarna, and rally the dispersed troops. Alisch retreated unmolested to the Grand Vizier's corps. The loss of the Russians in these actions is stated here at 5,000 men ; that of the Turks at 1,500. VIENNA, JUNE 13.—Metalliques, 98k; Bank Shares, 1114 BERLIN, JUNE 18.—His Majesty the Emperor of Russia arrived at Sybillenort on the 14th, and on the following day proceeded on his journey to Kalisch, accom panied by his own Aide-de-Camp and Major-General Nozlilz. The Prussian State Gazette contains no news from the army. BRUSSELS, JUNE 23.—His Majesty the King arrived yesterday at Liege. Prince and Princess Frederick and suite arived here yesterday morning from Berlin. There is a report that the King of Prussia will come to Brussels in August, to be present at the marriage of one of his sons to the Princess Marianne. Buenos Ayres Papers have been received to ,he 25th April, and private letters to the 29th nclusive. Aflltirs seem to be in a bad way in that quarter, as will be seen by the follow- BUENOS AYRES, Mutt:lr 21.—The Government has issued a decree, commanding the organization of a Batta lion of the Friends of Order, in which foreigners not ex empted from service are immediately to be enrolled. MARCH 28.—The garrison of Elmonte, about 100 men, has been attacked and nearly destroyed by a body of plunderers, five times their number. Colonel Estombe, who commanded there, arrived here on the 19th, in a state of mental derangement. APRIL 4.—A despatch from General Lavallc gives an account of his march to attack Gen. Lopez, but he bad not fallen in with him. A letter from Colonel Frederick Ranch gives an account of his march in pursuit of the enemy. The whole country, he says, is a desert, and the bringing the Indians to join in the war may have th e most fatal consequences. Some of Colonel Ranch's soldiers have since arrived, from whom we learn that his corps had been defeated, and the Colonel killed. The news of his defeat caused a great sensation in this city. It is said, that General Lavalle with the cavalry, is about to return, leaving a corps of observa tion in the province of Santa Fe. Aran 21.—M. Mendeville, the French Consul-General, has issued a Concordat, protesting against the enrolment of Frenchmen among " The Friends of Order." Many letters have been published in answer to it. After several days' anxiety and alarm, arising from the approach of a party of the Monteneros (not Mountainers) to the city, General Lavelle arrived on Saturday, and immediately left town to take the command of the troops. There was a skirmish, after which the enemy retreated to the south. The following letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, April 29, 1829 : " I am still unable to give you any favourable news from this country; on the contrary, affairs look much worse. My last informed you that General Lavalle had set out with a strong division of troops to act against the province of Santa Fe ; he was not able, however, to pene trate to that town, and was obliged to retrace his steps, in order to attack the Montoneros, or Federals of the South, who had penetrated to within a few miles of Buenos Ayres, causing great consternation : and the Government forced the greater part of the male population, except the British and North Americans, to be under arms night and day ; this harassing duty, attended with military drillings, continued for ten days and nights, at the end of which time Lavalle and his troops arrived, and proceeded against the opposing party, who then retreated, to join their force with that of Lopez, the Governor of Smta Fe. The lat ter, at the head of about 700 men of Santa Fe, and 300 Indians, was a few days since at Lujan, and had been joined by the Federals, or Montoneros of Rosas, making nearly 3,000 men. Th ey ore, how ever, badly armed, and from such a motley group dis cipline can hardly be expected. Lavalle's troops, on the contrary, are well disciplined, clothed, and paid, he having the Bank, Custom-house, and all the revenue at his dis posal ; besides which, he and his officers can expect no mercy if the latter party succeed. The Federals swear to have vengeance for the blood of the murdered Dorrego. " The Unitarians of Buenos Ayres call their opponents the Federals every opprobio us e p ithet th at language affords , such as montoneros, banditti, assassins, &c. and th e press teems with abuse of thent ; but in this respect they fish very cowardly, for they will allow no opposition ; there fore to retort or deny any thing they assert would cause the writer serious injury—it is indeed the reign of terror. The Editors of the Unitarian Gazettes are violent par- tisans, and they write with no common ability, sufficient to mislead cleverer men than many of their aristocratic sup porters, including the host of shopkeepers and their as sistants, who formed the most prominent part ; the least idea that the party outside is not banditti, but a regular Federal party, would cause immediate imprisonment of any one who had the hardihood to assert it publicly. The Montoneros, as they are called, consist of the Paimas, countrymen, and Gauchos or herdsmen, collected together through the it.fluence of Don Juan Manuel Roans, who is their leader, and the richest landholder in this country ; he was the friend of the late unfortunate Governor Dorrego. They have no doubt committed outrages in their different marches and attack, and so have the enemies in Europe, who boast of discipline, and what they have done has been magnified one thousand-fold by their inveterate enemies here. ' It is unfortunate that the Indians are employed in this ;;;fat:Dorrego's plan was rather to conciaitt; them than root them out by sword and lance, and before the present revolution the whole of them were quietly work- hag in the fields. " Every foreigner resident in Buenos Ayres, except the British, are to take up arms. The French, who are very numerous, have formed themselves into a corps, called the Friends of Order. The British, by treaty, were exempted from all military service, and the North Americans refused to serve. This called forth g-eat complaints from M. Man deville, the French Consul, who stated that the service, in stead of being exclusively to preserve the public peace, bad be come entirely military. The Government, to pacify h im, had absolutely sent an order to be printed, that the British and Americans should likewise be called out, but it was withd fawn in consequence of a strong remonstrance from the British Minister. • The French Consul then advised his country men to deposit their arms, but numbers of them refused not only to lay down their muskets, but attacked the French Consul in person. " Of course:you:may well believe . that the Englishmen are not favourites with the foreigners in powers, from their sledded refusal to take arms, and holding out the least idea that Rosas's party can be any thing else but banditti. The newspapers have vented their rage in consequence upon the English name and nation, which has been echoed by their adherents. Since writing the above, I have to inform you, that a battle between the opposing parties took place on the 26th inst. It was a drawn battle, or rather Lavelle got the worst of it. He lost his spare horses, and retreated to San Jose de Floris, eight miles from this city, where be is now repairing damage. Lopez is doing the same at Leijune, a town 40 miles from this. Business is com pletely suspended here. Exchange upon England 101 d. to 11 d. per dollar. Doubloons 69 Paper Dollars each. The following vessels have arrived at Buenos Ayres : The British brig Caraboo, from the West Indies.—Brig June, from Liverpool—Pacific, ditto.— George Can ning, ditto.—Malvina, from London. Exchange on England 10i- to 11 pence per dollar; 69 paper dollars each. Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated May 19: " There are reports in circulation, resting on the autho rity of some masters of vessels, that the Russian Admiral at the Dardanelles had verbally informed them of his inten tion to establish a general blockade of that passage, but on inquiry we find that he had given no notice of the kind to the Dutch Consul. The latter has received intimation from him of the blockade against the conveyance of provi sions being extended to all the coast from the Gulf of Contessa to Cape Baba ; and some vessels have been ac tually turned off from the entrance of the port of Enos and the Gulf of Adramiti.

TWO O'CLOCK. Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 881 s for the account, with little doing; it is said that the Saving Banks have been selling. In the Foreign market the only business was in Brazil and Buenos Ayres stocks; the latter has fallen five per cent. in consequence of the unfavour able accounts from that quarter, and the former is not so good as yesterday. We have received further accounts from Buenos Ayres, by letters dated the 30th of April, twelve o'clock, stating that after the battle of the 26th, General Lavalle broke up on the 29th, in pursuit of Lopez, who had lost 1,500 men, and accounts were expected of his being surrounded. In the mean time General Paez bad entered Cordova. The Mail from Constantinople is arrived, but does not bring so late accounts by two days, as pre viously received by the foreign papers. , The capital was abundantly supplied with pro visions, and great tranquillity prevailed; the great persons about the Grand Vizier were for peace with Russia. The last letters from Constantinople o the 17th May, sta►e that several battles had taken place in the environs of Varna, and the Turks had penetrated to the walls of the above place. The Turkish account says, the Russians lost several thousands of men; Pravddi was taken and retaken several times; at present it is a heap of ruins. Letters from Tangiers of the Ist June say, that no arrangement has yet taken place with Austria, although a Jew merchant of Gibraltar is doing all in his power to bring the af►irs to an amicable set tlement. The negotiations with Naples have not advanced. By a vessel from Alexandria, left on the 6th May, and arrived at Corfu in 17 days, accounts have been received, that the marching of troops to Asia has been suspended. One sail of the line, four frigates of the Sultan, and 20 frigates and corvettes of the Pacha of Egypt were in the Port of Alexandria, ready to sail for Constantinople.

FIELD DAY.—This morning, at half -past seven o'clock, the Ist Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, stationed in Knightsbridge Barracks, marched i:Jo Hyde Park, under the command of Colonel KEATE, where they bad a field-day. The troops were put through a great variety of fine evolutions, all of which were executed with the utmost celerity and precision ; the skirmishing movements of the light infantry were all of the first order, ten rounds were fired by the battalion and twenty by the light company. The troops returned to the barracks between ten and eleven o'clock. BUSlNESS.—Business, says a celebrated writer, is the salt of life; which not only gives a grate ful smack to it, but dries up those crudities that would offend, preserves from putrefaction, and drives off all those blowing flies that would corrupt it. Let a man be sure to drive his business, rather than let it drive him. When a man is but once brought to be driven, he be comes a vassal to his affairs. Reason acd right give the quickest despatch. All the ent inglements that we meet with arise from the irrationality of ourselves or others. With a wise and honest man a business is soon ended ; but with a fool and knave there is no conclusion, and sel dom even a beginning. Died on Tuesday last, at his house, Nine Elms, after a long and painful illness, Mr. Woons, who for 20 years filled the situation of second clerk at the Public-office, Bow-street. During the period of his ser vice his conduct was such as to gain the entire confidence of those under whom lie acted, and he was esteemed by his friends as a young man of strictly honourable and up right During a storm of thunder and lightning on Wednesday last, Mr. and Mrs. JONES, of Ragland, and Mr. YOUNG. of Cwm Carvan, took shelter in the New Inn, on the road to Ragland, about four miles from Mon mouth, and seated themselves in the kitchen. On a sud den two long and violent peals of thunder, that seemed to shake the building to its foundation, were heard, and im mediately afterwards a globular mass of electric fluid, about the size of a cricket-ball, and of a glaring crimson red, more lurid than common fire, entet ed the house at an open hack door, passed through the kitchen, from thence along a passage, and went out again at the front door,— Happily neither the house nor any of its inmates were injured.—Monmouthshire Merlin. THE LEIGHAM ESTATE.—The sale of this property has made a considerable sensation—it arises mainly out of the beauty Of the situation—it approxi mates. so entirely upon the Earl of MonLEv's Domain at Saltram, that it appears an essential appendage to it. The following is Mr. GEORGE ROBINS'S description of this interesting property : —This property is in the parish of Egg Buckland, within four miles and on the not th side of Plymouth, and a turnpike road approaches to within a short distance of the lodge entrance. Of the situation of this delightful property it would indeed he difficult to say too much ; in fact, praise has nearly exhausted itself by c natant repetition. The River Plym, famed for its fine salmon peel, winds round in an irregular form, and con stitutes a boundary, the only one that separates it from the Eirl of MORLEY'S splendid demesne of Saltram. This estate is indebted very much, and participates in an eminent degree, of the majestic woods of the respected Earl, which so entirely approximate upon Leigham as to appear a portion of the estate. The park and grounds possess such a delightful irregularity, such an infinite variety of bill and dale, and wood and water, that they must be seen with a view to a thorough appreciation ; it probably may suffice to add, that for variety and pic turesque beauty, it will not yield to the meat favoured in this highly esteemed county, which is almost superfluous to sty has long been characterised as the Garden of England. The mansion house is very agreeably placed, sheltered Corn the north by the rising grounds, and immediately en face the luxuriant woods of Saltram ; it is environed by the extensive pleasure grounds, plantations, and shrub bery walks, disposed in good taste, and terminated by the Wilderness. The interior of this envied abode, without being of a pretending character, is full of comfort ; and the following outline will demonstrate its capability to ac commodate a very respectable family. At a little distance and on a fine commanding spot is the Observatory. It has become a little dilapitated, but in contemplating the wild and majestic Amphitheatre that surrounds it, ren dered infinitely more beautiful by the luxuriant and far famed woods of the Noble Earl of MORLEY ; the little outlay of money necessary to complete it, could not be withheld for a single moment; it is indeed indis pensable with a view to its " friendly rivalry" with the Observatory in the opposite direction. The Borough and town of Plympton, and its ancient castle, forms a pleasing object in the distant part of the valley, the river at high water completes the picture, and it may be safely affirmed, without colouring it too highly, that (looking at the property from this interesting spot), it really " beggars all description." The Estate is equally eligible for the purpose of a residence, or as an investment—in the latter case it will not fail to lie observed, that its approximation upon the towns ofiPlymouth and Devonport, where the mai kets are in such high repute, will insure in all times, a ready vent for the produce, and the fundholder will do well to give to this property his serious consideration, for it can not be doubtful that the present exceedingly high price is likely ere long to suffer from a re-action ; and in the event of a war, a certain loss of one-fifth of his capital must ensue, while this very cause (and sooner or later it must occur), will necessarily enhance in the exact same pto ' portion the value of property so closely allied with the best maritime port in England. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at Westminster, to day, at eleven o'clock. LEONARD V. ASHLEY. Mr. WAKEFIELD applied for the re-committal of Mr. Chambers, in this case for not putting in his answer, which the LORD CHANCELLOR ordered. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—CONST V. HARRIS. Mr. HORNE was instructed to request his Lord ship to appoint an early day for giving his judgment in this case ; the reason of his doing so was, a third party, not before the Court, no less a personage than his Grace the Duke of Bedford, was proceeo - ing in another place with certain legal proceeding' called ejectments, which were in so forward a State that it was more than probable he would obtain possession of the theatre before the end of the pre sent term, unless some means were adopted to con trovert it. The judgment of the Court in Coot and Hauls would probably set aside the difficulty , and put the parties in a situation to liquidate the Duke's demands. Mr. PEPYS concurred in the application of his Learned Friend. The Duke of Bedford would cer tainly get in possession of the theatre very sliortlY , unless the parties were put in a condition to pay the, rent. The Court would recollect a petition luau been presented to have the money out of Court, the hearing of which had been postponed till the judg" merit of the Court was pronounced. limier these circumstances the Learned Counsel trusted his Lordship would appoint an early day for the hearing of the petition, and giving his judgment, His LORDSHIP appointed Thursday next. INJUNCTION.—LEE V. CHOPPING. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for an injunr‘ tion to restrain the defendant, Mr. Chopping, a per son of the name of Slater, and another named Good" man, from removing the hay and crops of a farm let by the plaintiff to Mr. Chopping. It appeared from the statements of the Solicitor-General, that, o i l agreement was entered into on the I7th of Apri l 9 1826, between the plaintiff and defendant, whereby the plaintiff undertook to let to the defendant house and farm at West Grinstead, in the county 0 1 Essex. By the agreement the defendant undertook not to sell off any hay or straw without the consent of the landlord. The defendant entered into posses sion, and afterwards underlet the property to a per son of the name of Slater without the concurrence of the plaintiff. An ejectment was brought, Slater having agreed to sell the standing crops of hay, &c. to Mr. Goodman, who had proceeded to cut down the crops and carry part of them away. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the affidavit in support of the bill was not sufficient, but granted the injunction, restraining the parties from removing contrary to the agreement, the Solicitor-Gener al undertaking to correct the affidavit.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR was engaged the whole morning in his private room, hearing a motion re• lating to a Ward of Court. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ALLEGED LIBEL ON THE LORD 'CHANCELLOR. THE KING V. FISHER AND OTHERS. On the ATTORNEY-GENERAL being called OD by Lord TENTERDEN, he requested the indulgence of the Court for a few moments for Mr. Sergeal. WILDE, who attended for one of the defendants 10 this case. Mr. Sergeant WILDE then stated to the Court thot this rule was obtained against three persott Mr. John Fisher, Mr. Robert Alexander, out; Mr. .John Matthew Gutch, for an alleged libel on the Lord Chancellor, purporting to have been published in a newspaper called the Morning Journal. He informed the Court that he appeared on behalf of the defendant (Mr' Gutch), with a view to postpone the application to make this rule absolute till Monday. He had an af fidavit, which stated that the defendant Gutch ha d resided in the country, and had taken no part in the management of the paper. lie, in consequence, ha no participation in the publication of the alleged, libel, which he had first heard of by the report el this application in the newspapers. He had come to town the instant he had heard of it, in order to make inquiries respecting it. The Learned Se' React believed that on Monday next he should be able to show circumstances with respect to the de' fendint Gutch, which would induce the Court to think, whatever might be their opinion on the merits with regard to other persons, and even if he were considered legally liable, that his case we° entitled to considerable distinction from the others. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, that as the of' fidsvit stated that Mr. Gutch was indisposed, he would not oppose the enlargement of this rule; but as this term was drawing to a close, the terms which he must impose were, that in case this rule we° made absolute against the defendant (Mr. Gutch) or the other defendants, that fact should not prejudice the right of the prosecutor to have the indictment tried immediately after the present term. He un derstood, however, that his Learned Friend (Mr. Barstow) was instructed to move for a similar exten sion of the rule for the other defendants. Mr. BARSTOW observed, that he was not so hi; structed on behalf of Mr. Alexander, but on behalf of Mr. Fisher. The ATTORNEY 7 MENERAL—Then as nobody aP' peals on the part of Mr. Alexander o l must p re po!e that the ride be made absolute against him, and 0 1 so doing, I must state, that it is not with any 0 1 .! to prejudice him that I now do so, but only that I may have the opportimity of imposing the salve terms upon him as on the other defendants. The COURT then ordered the rule to be made absolute with regard to Mr. Alexander, and to beet' tended till Monday next with regard to the defend' ants, Mr. Glitch and Mr. Fisher. THE KING V. HUMPHREY PRICE. This defendant, who was convicted of a libel 011 the Magistrates of Kidderminster, was called up l° receive judgment, and after being heard at g reat, length in mitigation of punishment, was sentenc e( ' to one year's imprisonment in Suffolk gaol.
