LONDDN, ~ 43 ATURDAY'EVENING, MAY 1829. • A difference of a, very amusing and charac teri,stie nature has just sprumg . up between the House'd Lords and the Corporation of London. eliatter, professing to want money for the eofiliAttiOn of London-bridge and it's appen flagea, rent to•borrow it of Government, who in turn being somewhat sceptical, we presume, on the subject of the Corporation's poverty, made reply that before they granted the required loan, they must be favoured with an insight into the state of the petitioners finances. This the latter have warmly resented as an unwarrantable stretch of and the former have as warmly re with a- c i v il but , sarcastic courtesy • e • ,4ceedingly high-toned and characteristic. In 'this- state the question now remains. 81 16 iiidice lis est, both parties at ? re sent declining to concede an iota of their 'teePective prerogatives. If common sense be P e rrai!ted to deciele the dispute, it cannot, we conceive, but be' decided in favour of the • se of Lords. The law that regulates similar transactions between man and man, 86Uld apply with equal force to public bodies. Il e Corporation have come forward voluntarily - petitioners to Parliament, they have made l k ease of <Estrus, and have , founded on `that, 'ease their claim to assistance ; and surely, P ut ting the matter on a proper footing of busi tliss, have a right to prove their case before they Clau t- I Pect relief.

The auxiliary corps for the Sultan, the formation of which has been going on for some months past at Cairo with great activity, will, it is said, very soon commence its march - through Syria, and consist of 12,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, or, as others affirm, of 20,000 men in all. Mahmond Bey, for; merly the Pacha's Kiaja Bey, has the chief command. After the festival of the Bairam, and the departure of this corps, the Pacha and his son will come to Alexandria. An English gun-brig will sail to-morrow fm St. Jean d'Acre, to demand satisfaction of Abdal Pacha fir the insult offered to another English ship. But considering the violent character of this man an amicable arrange ment cannot well be expected. The Austrian Admiral, Count Dandolo, has convoyed seven Austrian vessels, laden with Egyptian corn, from Smyrna to Adramiti, where it is unloaded, sent by land to Constantinople, and thence to the army at the Balkan. VIENNA, MAY 11.—Metalliques, 97k; Bank Shares, 1094. FRONTIERS Or WALLACHIA, APRIL 24.—The head quarters which, according to previous determination, were to go to Krajova, for which purpose 2,300 horses were to be held in readiness in that mad, have been very unexpect edly transferred to Gailacz. Ihe most probable among the various reports respecting this sudden alteration is, that since the arrival of the Grand Vizier at Shumla the Turks are making preparations to begin offensive operations in Bulgaria, which makes it necessary to take vigorous mea sures is oppose them. It is also affiimed that the Presi dent, Count Zoltuschin, will go to Tuldscha with part of the chancery of the Divan. The attention of General Diebitsch seems to be espe cially directed to Silktria ; but as the arrival of the heavy artillery from Jassy is delayed by the badness of the roads, it is generally believed that he will first invest the fortress with a very large corps (it is said 60,000 men). We hear little from Gliiurgevo; the corps at Odai, under the command of Major-General Petruschew, consists of four regiments of Infantry, two of Chyseurs, four squadrons of Hussars, one regiment of Hulans, and two regiments of Cossacks. Fresh troops are continually arriving from the south of Russia in the principalities : among them are 6,000 or 7,000 Don Cossacks, to complete the regi ments in the field. At Bucharest a great cellar is being made, which is intended as a magazine of brandy for the army. On the 17th inst. the English Consul at Bucha rest took upon himself the care of forwarding the packet of letters to the Austrian states, the irregular sending of which has hitherto given rise to numerous complaints.— The first number of a new Journal, called the Wai lachian Courier, has lately been published here, but it contains only extracts from other journals. Proposals have again been issued for a new levy of volunteers, to form a corps of cavalry ; each soldier, horsiver, is to pro vide his arms and his horse, for which he is to receive a certain compensation. It is reported that some cases of plague have lately been observed at Bucharest ; and orders have been given, that persons who buried any of their effects last year, during the plague, shall not be allowed to dig them up again without the knowledge of the police, as such effects often contain infectious matter, by which the contagion m iy be revived. FRANKFORT, MAY 15..—Exchange on London, 149-a. FROM THE LOWER RHINE, MAY 6.—The Belgiccloth manufacturers had at the Frankfort fair, and now have at Leipsic, a hard stuggle in competition with the English. They pretend indeed that the favour which the English cloths now enjoy in Germany, is more a caprice of faction, and will not be lasting, because their cloths are far supe riot to the English iu real goodness. Nevertheless, it is ,a fact, that the great cloth manufactory at Verviers, (the house of Biolay) has purchased the secret of the English manufacture for a large sum (100,000 francs it is said) which it would hardly have done, had it not found it worth while to imitate the process of the English, in order to produce an article which may be able to bear the com parison. The contents of the French Papers are not particularly striking. A report prevailed at Odessa that Erzeroum had been taken by the Russians, but there is strong reason to doubt the circumstance. There is no news from the theatre of war. Demerara Papers, of the Bth of April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, being twelve days later than the last accounts, but their contents are unusually dull. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. Tile LORD CHANCELLOR vv a 9 occupied some time this morning in his private room with a case relative to. the marriage of u Ward. HABEAS CORPUS. —IN THE MATTER OF KIRBY AND THOMAS, BANKRUPTS: In this case the bankrupt Kirby had been examined before the Commissioners, and having re fused to answer a question put to him was com mitted. The important question was, whether the bankrupt was bound to answer questions which would either criminate, or tend to crimi nate, himself. The short facts -of the case, as we could collect them, appeared to be these. The bankrupts, Messrs. Kirby and Thomas, carried on business at Knightsbridge, as linen-drapers. In 1828 they failed, in debt to the amount of upwards of 30,0001. A certain exhibit had been drawn up by an accountant, in the presence and under the di rection of the two bankrupts, which stated, but there was nothing but the assertion of the bankrupts, which they refused to swear to when asked upon oath to confirm it, that two linen-drapers, residing in Compton-street, had advised the bankrupts to obtain goods to a large amount from the other creditors, out of the sale of which they were .to pay them a debt of considerable extent, and after doing so, they should declare themselves insolvent. Upon the matter coming before the Commissioners, the bankrupt Kirby was asked whether the contents of that exhibit were true. The solicitor of the bankrupt demurred to his answering this question, considering it would have a tendency directly to criminate and render the bankrupt liable to an indictment for a conspiracy. Upon the reftt•al of the bankrupt to answer the question, he was committed by the Commissioners. Mr. COLLINSON, as Counsel for the bankrupt, submitted, that according to the established rule and practice of the Court of Bankruptcy, the Com missioners had no right to pursue the course they had done, and that the bankrupt was not bound to answer such questions. Mr. ROSE appeared for the assignees, contending that the conduct of the Commissioners was right ; and citing, in support of his proposition, the cases of Meymatt, ex-parte Nerod, Oliver, and Pratt. His LORDSHIP considered the cases cited by Mr. Rose bore the contrary way to what they were in tended. He thought the Commissioners had no right to put the question in the form they had. No bankrupt was bound to answer questions that would criminate himself. The bankrupt had better be brought before the Commissioners again, but the Court was clearly of opinion he was entitled to his discharge. WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT. Mr. SUGDEN stated that this was a petition, pray ing that an order obtained by Mr. Wellesley, for the taxation of the bill of costs, and his personal at tendance thereon, might be discharged. The peti tion stated that the ostensible reason for hearing the taxation was the reduction of the bill of costs, yet that, in point of fact, it was believed to be for the purpose of seeing certain letters, which contained matter remarking strongly upon the conduct of Mr. Wellesley. His LORDSIUP could not see any good that would result from the taxation at the present moment. Why not defer it till the appointment of guardians. Mr. HoitNa conceived the interest of the infants could not be protected without it. With reference to the allegations contained in the petition as to the intentions of Mr, Wellesley, his Lordship would see they were distinctly denied by ' `the, aft34avits OR his part. The case was prOceeding when we left, at half past one o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated, in the course of the morning, that he shOuld have to leave early to-day, in consequence, we understood, of having to attend a Cabinet Council. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT.-OLDMAN V. SLATER. His HOsouß gave judgment in this case, the question in which related to the legal construction of the Will. of a gentleman' named Watson. The testator„after,giving several sums to charitable in stitutions, made the following bequest :—" I give to my dearly beloved wife 1,2001. a year for her life, and my house and furniture; and after her death to my friend Samuel Slater, and his heirs for ever. The Counsel for the plaintiff (who is the next of kin,) contended that the meaning of the testator was only to give the house and furniture to Slater, and not the 12001. a year. His HONOUR said he could not come to such a conclusion. It was clear from the whole will that the testator watnot conversant with the idiom of the English language, or he would instead of the word and have used the word also, which would have prevented the possibility of doubt respecting his intentions. He (the Vice-Chancellor) however felt no difficulty in the case, being clearly of opinion that it was the deceased's wish to give the 1,2001. a year, as well as the house and furniture, to Slater; he should, therefore, decree accordingly with respect to the costs. He thought, as the question had been properly brought under the con sideration of the Court, they might be paid out of the testator's estate. The Court afterwards disposed of a great many motions of course, and by consent. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. PARKER V. MAY AND DENNIS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL shewed cause against a rule nisi for a writ of prohibition, to restrain the Ecclesiastical Court at Norwich from proceeding in an action in which the present defendants were plaintiffs. The present plaintiff is executor to a gentleman named Michael Coles, who had directed by his will that his land should be sold, and the assets treated as personal property, and divided among his grand-children by his late daughter. The land was so sold; the executor admitted having a balance of 1561. in his hands, and the present de fendants being legatees tinder the will brought an action in the Ecclesiastical Court to recover each a share, amounting to 461., that Court having juris diction over personal property. The Learned Counsel now contended that the executor instituted the present proceedings under the pretence that the demise arose out of real property, over which that Court had no controul, in order to drive the legatees to an expensive suit in Chancel)/ to recover 461., hich had been owing ever since 1815. The ad mission of the executor that he had the money in his hands was sufficient to justify the Court in the as sumption that it was personal property ; in support of which position he cited several cases. _ _ Mr. Hu • TcHINsoN contended that the Ecclesiasti cal Court had no jurisdiction in this case, as a man could not change property which was real at the time of his demise, into personal property after it. The COURT decided that the Ecclesiastical Court had no jurisdiction in such cases, as the mere fact of an executor having sold an estate, did not make that estate personal, if it were real at the time of th• demise.—Rule made absolute. MAT 22. NEAPOLITAN LOAN.-ROTIISCHILD V. HENNING 3. The following is a more full account of this trial than given in our paper of yesterday : The Court gave judgment to day upon the im portant question involved in this case, which was brought before them by a writ of error, for the purpose of having the decision of the Court of Common Pleas reversed. It will be recollected that it was an action brought by Mr. Hennings against Mr. Rothschild, the plaintiff in error, to recover back deposits paid on some Neapolitan Bonds ; part of a loan for which Mr. Rothschild was the con tractor. The Jury returned a verdict for Mr. Hen nings, and the Court of Common Pleas sitting in banco, afterwards refused to disturb that verdict. Mr. Rothschild then brought the case before the Court of King's Bench, when it was argued at con siderable length. Lord TENTERDEN, in giving judgment to-day, said, that it:would be unnecessary for him to state at length the reasons which induced the Court to re verse the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, as this case came entirely within the rule laid down by Sir John Leach, in Dee v. Rothschild, reported in Ist Simon and Stewart, page 509. It was there laid down, that as the plaintiff had himself, in the first instance, violated his contract with Mr. Roths child, he had no right to require subsequently either that Mr. Rothschild should return the deposits or specifically perform the contract. That case was exactly similar to the present. Judgment of the Court below reversed. PALACE COURT, MAY 22. CATIIIE V. LEACH. This was an action brought by Mr. John Cathie, the performer and copyist at the theatre Royal Drury-lane, against Mr. Harvey Leach, the cele brated dwarf and man monkey of that establish went, to recover the sum of 3/. Is. for the manu script copy of the grand serious pantomime and ballet of action of La Perouse or the Desolate Island, and the whole of the music of the piece. The singular appearance of Mr. Leach, who stood upon the table immediately under his Counsel (Mr. Hannagan) produced much curiosity. Mr. Cathie conducted his case in propria persona, and the Jury, after evidence had been heard on both sides, found a verdict for the plaintiff in the full amount claimed and costs.

We have seldom seen indignation and sorrow more strongly marked than it was to-day on the counte nances of the Portuguese merchants, in sneaking of the tragic accounts received from Oporto. The catastrophe itself, owing to the late symptoms of lenity shown by M auer., was wholly unexpected, and the victims being all of a certain rank in life, as well as extensively connectel in this country, there is scarcely one of our Portuguese I esi dents who has not to deplore in the event the loss of a friend or a relation. The injustice in this case, t4ey re mark, is far greater than that :Mending . the executions at Lisbon, for that the sufferers at Oporto had all committed the acts for Which they have been put to death, while the eonstitution, n om i na ll y a t l eas t, was still in existence, and at a time when in fact they would more justly have de served punishment had they acted otherwise. Many of the Portuguese actually shed tears in adverting to the un happy fate which has befallen their friends. SPORTING.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.

This delightful place of fashionable resort was yesterday fully attended, and in point of variety and excellence was infinitely superior to any concert that has yet taken place there during the season. Madame MAGIBRAN (herself a host) was among the number of the vocal performers, and sang, together with Mademoiselle SONTAG, the grand scena from Semiramide, " Ebben ato ferisci." A performer, named ROSNER, gave a scena from Der Freischatz in the original German, in a style that indicates considerable pro- mise. He was warmly and deservedly applauded. This gen tleman's voice is a tenor of great compass, especially in its depth. The other vocal performers were Mademoiselle BLASIS, and Signors VEI LUTI, CURIONI, PELLEGRINI, and TORRI. In the evening Mr. LINLEY took hie annual benefit concert, which was also unusually attractive. The Duke of CUMBERLAND and the Duchess of GLOUCRSTER visited his MAJESTY yesterday, at his Palace, in St. James's. Lord FARNBOROUGH had an audience yes terday of the KING.

LESSONS IN GERMAN LI FERATURE. LONDON', 1829. Mr. Rowbotham, a gentleman who has al ready distinguished himself by the publication of a German Grammar, displaying considerable intelligence and research, has again stepped for ward to benefit the rising generation by an elementary and practical Treatise on German Literature, combining entertaimnent with in struction in a better style, and to a greater ex tent, than any work of the same kind with which we are acquainted. It is an improvement on the Hamiltonian System of Education, contain ing an intelinear, literal, and free translation of passages selected from the most approved Ger man writers, shortening and simplifying by these means the unusually (and hitherto necessarily so) protracted process of tuition. WONDERS OF NATURE AND ART. We have seldom seen a book better adapted to arrest the curiosity of youth than the present, which is a miscellany (ornamented with nume rous wood engravings) descriptive of all the curiosities existing in the known world, whether of nature or art. The compilation displays much judgment and no little research, and has been got up with evident care. The type is good and readable; the form and size of the volume convenient, and the price (a first-rate recom mendation) more than ordinarily cheap. WEST'S GALLERY. This splendid Gallery, from unpropitious eircum stancesitot to be inquired into, has been doomed to be dispersed, instead of ornamenting, for ages yet to come, the national depository of England. The Sale commenced yesterday, and by means of the ju dicious arrangements not to admit any one without a catalogue, instead of the insufferable heat that had for days past been endured by the thousands who had congregated there, it was very much diminished. Notwithstanding this precaution, however, the rooms were crowded by all the admirers and pa trons of the fine arts in London. At one o'clock the Sale commenced,and Mr. George Robins proceeded to address his splendid auditory in a long exordium, which our limits prevent us from giving at full length. The following is, however, the substan c e :-- . _ It is my good fortune," said Mr. Robins, to have been honoured by the disposal of the Gallery of Pictures of ,the late President of the Royal Academy of England. It would indeed be affectation were I to hesitate in declaring that I am proud of the distinguished honour that has been conferred on me. Referring to olden times, when the gr. at Mr. Christie (the ornament of his profession) lived, he would vesture to say, he would encounter the task in fear and trembling; how then could he approach the task with out feeling his incompetency? However, one circumstance encouraged liitn in the belief that he might not fail, anti that arose out of the Catalogue R tisonne, wherein the pic torial excellencies were describtd in a manner so infinitely beyond any previous attempt, that made the task, instead of one of difficulty, quite refreshing. He then took the op portunity of paying a just ti ibute to Mr. Pyne, the talentel writer of Mr. West's Catalogue, whose personal knowledge of the late President, his thorough appreciation of the extra ordinary merit of the artist, and his great literary acquire- Ments, had qualified him in an eminent degree to do justice to this Gallery. Having entirely waved the credit that had been so generally coneeded. to Mr. Rebins, in respect to the Cata logue Raisonnet, he said, ' an exordium to an auction has by os ( c m u s a t o t e wbrotmh thee o as nn es e s d e a.l , as a prologue to a go who sat t near tgood o Mr. Robins, smiled.) lie would say, as it regardtd hims,ll, and a conscientiousness of his own inadequate talent, that the usual exordium would be ' more honoured in the breach than in the observance ;' however, it was a custom, and he must submit to it ; it should, notwithstanding, he short, and for the best of all reasons, that surrounded as be was by so much rank and talent, and by such an over whelming host of the' admirers of native talent, he was persuaded that to such an enlightened assembly he need only direct their attention to the Pictures, and they would speak infinitely more in praise of themselves titian he could venture to hope from any observation of his own ; thia made his duty both short and easy. He would entreat them to remember that Mr. West had never (save mile on a very few occasions) consented to sell any of his pictures during his life ; he preferred leaving them as an entire collection for the benefit of his family. Large and muni ficent sums had cor.stantly been refused during his long life, and this would account for such a splendid exhibition, and the entire works of one individual, being presented to their kind and fostering care. It would he perceived that, however numerous, it was equally varied in subject, in character, and in style ; and let i t7 t o (con tinued Mr. Robins) the genius of the illustrious dead is at length duly respected in England. This is daily mans , fested, to the exclusive honour of the present age. The deceased Masters of our native Schools are appre • ciated justly, and in proportion to the met its of the great Schools of olden times. Witness the works of Hogartb, Reynolds, Wilson, and Gainshorough ; they are as eagerly sought after by the truly learned in the art as those which were painted centuries ago. Thus happily it may be said, with patriotic pride, that under the protect ing influence of our venerated late S.ivereign and the benign auspices of our gracious King, his present Ma jesty k not forgetting the British Institution), we have at tained to that epoch, when taste is so universally diffused, that judgment has t sken the seat (too long occupied by prejudice) and merit is honoured and rewarded accordiog to desert.
