We are happy to learn by the latest accounts from Windsor to-day that the KING is much better. It is not, however, expected that his MAJESTY will come to town to-morrow. In the House of Lords yesterday the proceedings were prin cipally confined to the presentation of petitions and some con versation respecting them. The Bishop of EXETER—in pre senting a petition complaining that in the workhouse of the Worcester Union the members of any dissenting chapel were allowed to go out on a Sunday, whilst those belonging to the Established Church were confined to the House—gave notice that on Thursday next he would move for a copy of any order made by the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject. Lord ELLENBOROUGR said paupers who were very importunate to go out to Church came in in a much worse condition than when they went out. After some further conversation, it was ordered, on the motion of the Duke of Ricnmosn, that the Clerk of the Board of Guardians at Worcester be requested to seud up a copy of any regulation made by the Board of Guardians, rela tive to the attendance of the paupers at worship on a Sunday. Lord DUNCANNON, in postponing the Committee on the Dublin Police Bill, took occasion to state that an enquiry into the alleged disgusting levity of the executioner at Gloucester had taken place, that forty witnesses had been examined, and not one of them saw anything at all indecorous. Lord SEGRAVE thought that there had been exaggeration in the matter, but that some degree of levity had 'been exhibited he had no doubt. In the House of Commons the discussion which ensued on the bringing up the Report on the Church-rate Regulation Bill principally occupied the sitting. The debate—which we have made the subject of a separate article —was, according to practice, adjourned. The previous proceedings of the evening consisted in the reception of petitions; passing a private Bill; in a conversa tion respecting a report—the truth of which Mr. C. Woon distinctly denied—that the British Marines engaged at Bar celona had steeped their swords in the blood of their allies ; and in a statement made by Lord J. RUSSELL relative to the course which he meant to pursue in regard to the business of the country. It will be seen that the debate on the Church-rate question, which occupied the House of Commons till One o'Clock this morning, was then adjourned. From all appearances, we should judge that it is intended to prolong the discussion to the utmost limits—if not considerably farther—of .the public patience. What else can the factious opponents of the Government mean by pushing forward, in the only stage of the debate at which they know there is any chance of a hearing, such small fry as Mr. A. JOHNSTON, Mr. PETER BORTHWICK, and Mr. HORACE TWISS, to nibble at the question ? This, we fear, is ominous of an appalling outpouring of senatorial twaddle. Mr. JOHNSTON made play with an amendment, the object of which was to get rid entirely of the Church-rate question by a side-wind, and to confine the funds to be derived from an improved management of Church property to the purpose of religious in struction within the Church. The Hon. Member, in the course of his speech, displayed a remarkable igno rance of Dissenting statistics, on which subject he took upon himself to enlighten the House, claiming eleven millions of the people of England and Wales for the Church, and leaving three millions to the Dissenters. This sort of misrepresentation is not an unfrequent practice among the advocates of ecclesias tical domination. They first under-rate the numbers of those who attend Dissenting worship, and then claim all the rest of the community as belonging of right t'o the Church ; whereas, were they to reckon the fre quenters of places of worship only, they would find that the Dissenters equal, if they do not outnumber, the members of the Establishment. These and similar mis-statements and blunders called up Mr. BA INEs, who in a short, but able speech, perfectly anatomized the Hon. Member for St. Andrews, overthrowing all his calculations and re futing all his assertions by the irresistible force of facts. He stated also plainly and openly—and we beg attention to the statement that no charge of disingenu ousness may hereafter be trumped up against the Dis senters—that although the measure under discussion was a healing one, there were other grievances pressing upon the Dissenters which they would use every ex ertion in their power to remove, never resting until they stood on a footing of perfect equality with Churchmen. Mr. BAINES was followed by Mr. HARDY, whose notions of religious liberty seem to be cast in a rather peculiar mould. The Hon. Member for Bradford could not, for the life of him, see the least difference in the nature of a payment toward the support of a reli gion, whether the whole or none of the payers be longed to that religion I With Mr. 'TARDY it is the SR me thing what the religion is—it is enough that it be established, to entitle it to the undi vided support of the community. Mr. HARDY'S constituents are of a different opinion, as appears by the fact that a petition signed by no fewer than NINE TEEN THOUSAND of them was last night presented to the House, praying for the abolition of Church rates. Mr. HARDY tried to make a hit against the Dissenters, by quoting the proceedings in the celebrated case of Lady HEWLEY as a proof that they are not very hostile to the principle of endowments, nor very scrupulous about the means of appropriating them. There is no point whatever in the allusion. The Imo ceedings in the case alluded to, hoWever objectionable they may have been, are not to be fathered upon the whole Dissenting body. They were got up by one or two narrow-minded bigots, and have been, we believe, disowned by all the influential and respectable _por tion of the sect to which the persecuting parties be- longed. Mr. HUME spoke next, but not at any great length —quito long enough however to demolish the flimsy superstructure erected by the preceding speaker. The Hon. Gentleman's remarks were characterised by his usual sound sense and straightforwa►d honesty. Our readers will hardly expect that we should ex pend much attention ,upon the performance of Mr. BORTHWICK ; yet there is a point in it really worth noticing. The Hon. Member dwelt con amore upon the many claims which the Church has to the gratitude and support of those who did not belong to her com munion. Among other things she had been " the great nurse ?f civil and religious liberty! This is original. Mr. LAM BTON thought that the Bishops' lessees would be rather hardly dealt with in some cases, were the Ministerial plan carried out as it stands at pre sent, and Mr. Twtss detained the House an uncon scionable time, making much ado about nothing. Of the SOLICITOR GENERAL'S speech we cannot but speak in terms of high approbation, both for the legal acumen, and the general power of argument which it displayed. But what shall we say of the pitiful effusion of imbecile rage vented by Sir FRAN cis BURDETT ? What a humiliating spectacle does that man now present ! Every principle deserted— every faculty gone—a miserable example of mental decrepitude! We must refer our readers to the debate itself for the Right Hon. Baronet's forcible feebleness, and also for the memorable chastisement which Mr. SIIIEL inflicted upon this apostate of apostates. The scene in the House of Commons last night was in the highest degree ludicrous, and the only—draw back to the entertainment arose from the melancholy position of the prominent figure. He was indeed a puppet in the hands of the Tories, and, to do him justice in that character, obeyed the pulls of the jug gler admirably. The performance was evidently got up for the purpose of effect, and may be said to be a copy of a celebrated exhibition which took place near the spot some two hundred years ago, when CROMWELL denounced the Parliament, and applied every epithet of abuse to his old and intimate friends. If we suppose CROMWELL represented by Sir FRAN CIS BURDETT, Colonel HAnitisorr by Serjeant GOULBURN, and the House of Commons by his Majesty's Ministers, the similarity between the two scenes, comparing small things to great, will be found remarkable. Sir FRANCIS went to the House last evening at an early hour, and after Mr. A. JOHNSTON, Mr. BAINES, and Mr. HARDY had spoken, made an attempt to speak ; but being anticipated by Mr.HumE sat down for some time and listened to the debate. Sergeant GoULBURN then whispered something in his ear—possibly words such as these--:--" the time is not come, it is too early to make your speech at seven o'clock—wait till ten, when the House will be full." Upon which Sir FRANCIS remained quiet in his seat, rested his forehead on his crutch, and appeared to be in deep meditation while Mr. PETER BORTHWICK was speaking. He shortly after left the House, and returned accordingly at ten, and then made the exhibi tion to which we have referred elsewhere. Making allowance for the cant phrases of the time, and sub stituting the living characters for those which ex hibited in the Long Parliament, it will be found that HUME has described the scene admirably. " CROMWELL," says that historian, " first addressed himself to his friend ST. JOHN, and told him that he had come with a purpose of doing what grieved him to the soul, but there was a necessity, in order to the glory of GOD and the good of the nation. He sat down for some time and heard the debate ; he beckoned HARRISON, and told him he now judged the Parlia ment ripe for a dissolution. Sir,' said HARRISON, the work is very great and dangerous ; I desire you seriously to consider before you engage in it.' You say well,' replied the General, and thereupon sat still about a quarter of an hour, and afterwards suddenly starting up, lie loaded the Parliament with the vilest reproaches for their tyranny, ambition, oppression, and robbery of the public." Fortunately the speaker last night had not the same power, or he would have closed the scene with the same words, " For shame ; get you gone ; _give place to honester men. " We regret to find that Mr. CLAY has been obliged, owing to the adjourned debate on the Church-rate question, and other unavoidable cir cumstances, to postpone his motion on the Danish claims, which stood for this evening, to the 6th nf July ; and we regret, at the same time, that the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has not before now ren dered such a motion unnecessary, by the admission of these just claims. Two factions, each thirsting for the blood of the other, threaten the existence of Constitutional liberty in the Peninsula. The QUEEN'S Government is now assailed by the Carlists and the Exaltados or Ultra- Republicans, and should they by any possibility pre vail in the expulsion of the QUEEN, " war to the knife" between the triumphant faFtions would be the inevitable result. Thus for years to come would Spain be drenched in her own blood. The consequences of such a state of things to the rest of Europe may be anticipated with some degree of certainty. The suc cess of Carlism in Spain would sap the Throne of the Orleans dynasty in France; for Don CA RLOS, whose love of intrigue equals that of the blundering and im becile FERDINA ND, would set every secret engine of his Court at work to effect, the restoration of the elder branch of the Bourbon family. His efforts in this way would be countenanced by the great Northern Powers, who, to secure the triumph of the principle of legitimacy in Western Europe, would freely consent to sacrifice the regal ambition of an illustrious relative. Louis PHILIPPE may contemn an apprehension of danger from such a quarter, but were he to do so, he would betray a degree of confidence in his own good fortune, and that of his family, savouring of presumption, rather than founded on a knowledge of the sentiments of the French people. The Revo lutionists of 1789, would have laughed to scorn the idea of the despotism of the empire—of a nation so potent, so intelligent as France, trembling at the nod of a Corsican ; and NAPOLEON would have pro nounced the Statesman insane who would have dared to tell him in the meridian of his glory, that his reign would stand out in history an episode in the annals of France. The Monarchy of July is not more popu lar among the masses than was the Government of the Republic; nor is the MONA RCII himself more beloved, more admired, and more feared by all classes, or by any class, than was the EMPEROR. While the cha racter of a people remains unchanged, King's should judge of the future by the past, nor attribute to indi vidual daring the natural consequences of a vicious policy. On the other hand, the triumph of the Spanish Exaltados would revive the influence of the Revolutionary plague which still taints the moral and political atmosphere of France., A reign of anarchy, if not of terror, would ensue ; and in the ruin that would follow, the interests of the whole of Western Europe would be involved. Such is the present political aspect of Spain, and such, in our opinion, would be the consequences of the final success of either the Carlist or the Repub- can factions. Where, then, is the remedy against these anticipated evils to be found ? In French and English intervention ? Most assuredly. France and England combined can deliver Spain from the evils that threate❑ her, and through her, the whole of Western Europe ; and without such intervention, we begin to fear that the restoration of tranquillity in the Peninsula is as distant now as it appeared to be three years ago. The annexed letter from Gen. PARRENo, Governor of Barcelona, shows. that the arnarchists are in a condition to beard the Catalonian authorities, and that in the event of invasion by the Carlists, no de pendence can be placed in the loyalty of tbp people : BARCELONA, MAT 14.—1 t is with sincere regret that I undertake the task of giving you an idea of the state of this city, where insurrection and independence must inevitably triumph. The events of the 4th inst., the favourable termi nation of which was solely due to the aid of the English corps from the ship Rodney, have so exasperated the minds of the people, that apprehend at every iastant that all my soldiers will desert ; I have already been abandoned by the National Guard ; out of 13 battalions, the only ones that have remained faithful are the 10th and a few companies of the 13th. The civil authorities, although apparently wishing to second the measures I have taken to restore tranquillity, arc devoid of good fueling and courage. At the approach of night they are no longer to be seen, and God only knows where to find them. Their example is followed by all the citizens who have anything to lose. The early force which I still have at command for suppress ing any new movement, consists of the small garrison of the citadel, that of Fort Monjouy, and the police. The palace has been almost deserted for the last few days ; the influential persons who came on the 4th to offer their sup port, and entreated me not to yield to the revolt—those very men have since abandoned tho city, persuaded, as I also am, that the people must ere long triumph. Since the 12th the assembling of workmen has assumed a more alarming character; they arc scarcely dispersed at one point, when they re-appear at ;mother. The Lancers, thus employed from morning to night during several da►•s, begin to get tired of .the work, and several cf dim have already laid down their arms. With respect to the military Chiefs, Governor Luna and Col. Mateo are the only ones who can support me ; for the others inspire so little confidence that I should not be surprised to hear that they are actually at the head of some of the Re publican clubs. I have been obliged to confine the soldiers to the bar racks from six o'clock in the evening ; for since the ith inst. 13 soldiers have been assassinated. The moment daylight gins to disappear no one ventures out, light is nowhere to be seen, and this frightful solitude is only interrupted by the rounds of the. patrol on the one band, and the assembling of in surgents on the other. However, rest assured that I shall` hold out as long as possible ' • at the same time I must tell you to entertain no hopes of restoring tranquillity, unless a division of tea thou sind men be forthwith sent to my aid ; unless this be done pub lic order cannot be restored, and the Catalonian revolution is sure to triumph. General PA RR E NO. _ _ Energy and unanimity on the part of the Spanish Deputies are unfortunately wanting at the moment when there happens to be the greatest need of them, and when such qualities would lead to the adoption of measures necessary to the repose of the Peninsula. Au Exaltado faction in the Cortes secretly supports the designs of the anarchists, being influenced solely Ely the lust of power and plunder. These men care not a straw for liberty ; nor is there one of them who would not desert the faction to-morrow, were he con vinced that no part of the spoils of victory—the power and the pelf—would pass into his hands. But unfortunately such is the state of affairs in Spain that a knowledge of the objects of the anarchist leaders on the part of the Government tends in no way to lessen their power of attempting to realize them. There is no enlightened public opinion to appeal to— no hope from the patriotism of the electors in the event of a dissolution of the Chamber. To crush them with effect the Government must have recourse to the aid of England and France. The destruction of either of the factions by a foreign force will involve the ruin of the other. The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have reached us. They bring no further intelligence from the Spanish frontier ; but they confirm the favourable accounts received yesterday. The Debats does not believe that Don SEBASTIAN has any intention of making a dash upon Madrid ; but conjectures that he proposes to organize an insurrection in Arragon. It is stated that a Royal Ordinance, extending the late Act of Amnesty to all persons confined for contumacy, or under previous surveillance, will be published on the occasion of the Duke of ORLEANS' marriage. Letters from Bayonne of the 17th state, that the Christinos, having expended all their ammunition, ap plied for some to General HARISPE, who sent them a supply without delay. At the date of these letters the Christinos were preparing to attack Tolosa. The French Government has at last ordered the enlistment of 4,000 men for the .Foreign Legion in Spain. The expenses are all to be borne by the Spanish Go vernment. We subjoin extracts from the French Journals:— The following extract, from a private letter from Algiers, dated the 12th of May, confirms what we learnt from the last number of the Algiers Moniteur, and adds some facts which that journal was obliged to pass over fn silence : " Abdel Bader has recovered the power of 'which the Mar shal deprived him : he has been at Medeah ; he has pillaged the Turk's, and afterwards retired to the west ; he has left a garrison of 300 men, commanded by his brother. This con. quest obtained over us has occasioned numerous acts of pil lage. and, unhappily, it is our old friends who are the victims. ." Yesterday, the 11th of May, some Hadjorites came as far as Kaddarer, half a league from Algiers, to the estate of General Dainremont, where they carried off the cattle of a merchant, without its being possible to prevent this ac cident, or to repair the consequences of it. The day be fore yesterday, the 10th of May, forty Hadjorites came to Sidi Kalif, which is under the immediate protection of Captain Pelissier, Chief of the Arab Office. " When they reached this village, they carried off the bride of an inhabitant whose marriage was to be celebrated the fol. lowing day : they cut off the head of the bridegroom, and car ried away this trophy of their victory, and above 00 oxen, which they stole from different persons. A few days ago the magnificent establishment of M. Limerieer, at La Rigahya, was plundered by the Arabs; two men were killed, two others dangerously wounded, and above 100 men, horses, and mules were taken. " All these events have spread consternation in the city ; and even those who, from sp.tem or prejudice, were opposed to Marshal Clause], confess their fault, and would gladly repair it; but it is too late."—Le Cmnmerce. The claims of Viscount Portalis, of the payment of the se cond half of a sum of 100,000 francs given him on his marriage by King Charles X. has been rejected to-day by the Council of State. The text of the ordinance is as follows :—" Consi dering that the law in question makes the State answerable only for the debts of the ancient Civil List—that the mea sures resolved on by King Charles X. for the advantage of the claimant is, an act of pure munificence which cannot constitute a debt. The claim of Viscount Portalis is rejected."— Journal des Dsbats. German papers of the latest dates have been re ceived, but their contents are uninteresting. A Ham burg Journal, of the 18th inst., states, that in the month of April, 597 ships passed the Sound, of which 173 were from the North Sea, and 424 from the Baltic. Among them were 110 English vessels, 52 from the Baltic, and the remainder from the North Sea. The following are extracts LUDWIOILAST, MAY 15.—This morning, about nine o'clock, her Highness the Duchess Helen of Mecklenburg Schwerin, with her Royal Highness the Dowager Hereditary Grand Duchess and suite, set out fur.

A grand fete will take place to-morrow, the 24th in stant, at Gravesend, in honour of the natal day of her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria. The Mayor and Corpora tion have invited their friends to a splendid dinner at the Town hall. A public subscription has been entered into by the in habitants, to celebrate the day by giving a dinner to the poor, consisting of all the comforts of the season, to which upwards of 400 persons have been invited. The management of all is placedlunder a Committee, consisting of the most influential persons in the borough. This fete is anticipated as the most splendid that Kent has hitherto produced. The list of vestrymen for the ensuing year for St. Marylebone, proposed by the Parochial Committee, has been 'returned without opposition. In the list are the names of the Earls of Manvers and Strafford; Messrs. Edward Ro milly, Ashton Yates, J. T. Hope, Henry Hallam, Bellenden Kerr, Ruddle Todd, C. Ainslie Young, &C. &0.. The gentry a n d inh a bit an ts of Leamington will celebrate the birth-day of the heiress presumptive to the throne, on the 24th instant, by a dinner and fete to the poor of the neighbourhood. Nearly 1,000 adults and 700 children have received tickets for the feAst. The greatest activity pervades all the movements at Leamington Spa, in consequence of the approaching fete in celebration of the birth-day of lier Royal Highness Princess Victoria. A ball and card soiree Will be given 14 the 4sserubly Rooms in the evening, which, from the present crowded state of the Spa, is expected to be very ninnerously attended, and Will give eclat to the proceedings of the day, HOUSE OF L{)RDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeals; the Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and the Earl of Manvers. Their Lordships proceeded with the further argu ments in the part heard case of Mortimer v. Trez2vant, which had not concluded when our IZTorter left. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor did not sit in the Court to-day in consequence of ha% ing to attend the House of Lords. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR took unopposed petitions and mo tions to-day. MANORIAL COURTS OF THE EASTERN DIVISION OF GLOU- CESTERSIIIkE Upon his HONOUR taking his seat this morning, a gentleman appeared on the floor cf the Court, stating that by virtue of the oath he had taken to the King in the commission of the peace for the county of Gloucester, he claimed from the Court an answer to the petition he had presented to the Lord Chan cellor, relative to the King's Manorial Courts in the Eastern Division of the County of Gloucester. The VICE- CHANCELLOR said that he had not seen the pe tition. The applicant observed that be came before the Court in consequence of the oath he had taken, and bad brought with him a certificate of having taken office. The VICE-CHANCELLOR again stated that not having seen the petition he could not give any reply to the applicant; if it were sent to his Honour Le would probably be able to give an answer. The applicant said that it was delivered to the officer of the Lord Chancellor the day before the last day of term ; he had only done his duty in appearing before the Court. The applicant then retired after pointing to a brass rod which he had laid on the table of the Court, which he said was the sym bol of the Court's Leet. MACCLESFIELD FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This case came before the Court upon the petition of the Governors of the Free Grammar School at Macclesfield, pray ing the confirmation of the Master's report, approving of an application for an Act of Parliament for the establishment of four exhibitions to Oxford and Cambridge, and also the build ing of a new school for teaching the lower branches of edu cation. The Free Grammar School of Macclesfield was founded by Edward the Sixth, who gave it considerable pro perty for its support. At the present moment the income of the charity was upwards of 1,1001. a-year, and its expenditure only 7001. Upon a reference to the Master, he had reported that the remaining 4001. should be appropriated to four exhi bitions to Oxford or Cambridge, and to the building of a new school, and the confirmation of that Report was the object of the preient petition. His HONOUR granted the prayer of the petition. KING'S BENCH--(THIS DAY). Ex-PARTM-THR OLD A RTILLERY GROUND, WHITECHAPEL UNIGN.-THE POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, as this day had been fixed for discussing the questions raised upon certain orders of the Poor-law Commissioners, he should now proceed to shew cause against the rule obtained in the case of the Old Artillery Ground Whitechapel. It was a rule calling upon the Poor-law Com missioners to shew cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue, to remove into that Court a certain order of the Poor-law Commissioners, of 21st January last,whereby it was ordered that the parishes, townships, and places specified in the margin, should, on the 16th February next following, be united for the administration of the affairs of the Poor, under the name of the Whitechapel Union. The great question in these cases was, whether the POor-law Commissioners had the power to include in a Union a parish that had .a local Act for the government and regulation of the affairs of the Poor. It was contended on the other side, that wherever a parish had a local Act for the government of the affairs of the Poor, varying in its provisions from the 43d of Elizabeth, the power of the Commissioners was at an end—that however (mall the parish might be, however it might be surrounded by other parishes desirous of forming themselves into a Union, the Commission ers were forbidden to include that parish in the Union. The question was one of the,greatest importance as regarded the operation of the Act of Parliament. There were about 200 parishes in England beariag local Acts, and the Commission ers, acting in their view very deliberately taken of the inten tions of the Legislature, had acted in the belief that they were not restricted by any local Act of Parliament from in cluding a parish so circumstanced in a Union. The con sequences would be most disastrous if their Lordships de termined that they had in so doing exceeded their power, but he admitted, with these consequences their lordships had no thing to do. The validity of the present order had been disputed on the grounds that this parish had a local Act. The order of the Commissioners went to unite the parishes of St. Mary, Whitechapel, the rates of which amounted to 8,9411. per an• num ; Norton Folgate Liberty rated at 858/. per annum, the Old Artillery Ground (the parish in question) 522/., Christ- church, Spitalfields, 4,264/., Mile-end New Town, 1,582/., Tower of London, Old and Without, 1041., St. B.)tolph, Ald gate, 3,6751., St. Catherine by the Tower, 3,2351., Trinity and the Minories, 735/. Their Lordships would see that the Old Artillery Ground was, in point of rating, as he believed it WAS in point of extent and population, a very minute portion of the intended Union. Sir F. PoLLoca here interposed for the purpose of ascer taining from the Court the manner in which the argument tipon the present and the other cases which were to follow would be taken. After a good deal of discussion between the Court and the Learned Counsel engaged, it was arranged that Sir F. Pol lock, and the Counsel with him, should be heard in support of the rule ; that the Attorney- General should have the right of reply, and that Sir F. Pollock should have a rejoinder. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then resumed his arguments, and was followed on the same side by Sir W. FOLLETT. The cases are likely to occupy the attention of the Court the entire day. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY ) Mr. Justice COLERIDGE took his seat on the Bench at ten o'clock. THE KING V. THE CINURCHWARDENS OF lIIRMINGYAM., Mr. "HILL moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandainus should not issue, calling upon the defendants to show cause why a Vestry should not be summoned for the pur pose of electing Churchwardens for the ensuing year. On Easter Tuesday, according to custom, an election took place, and two gentlemen, named Brown and Wingfield, being pro posed, the former was elected by the Rector of the parish. A show of hands was then demanded on the other side, and the Clergyman said he would dispense with that part of the pro ceedings, as he had elected a fit and proper person to fill the office, as he was empowered under the provisions of Mr. Stourges Bourne's Act. The election took place agreeably to a show of hands, which could not be considered conclusive, although it might seem as a step in the proceedings. A great deal of excitement prevailed on the occasion, and the Rector seeing that no vote had been tendered for the space of a quarter of an hour, thought proper to close the poll without computing the votes, and finally declared the person he had proposed as duly elected. On former occasions check c'erks had been appointed, and between 3,000 and 4.000 rate payers had voted, and the Rector allowed the election to pro ceed ; but in this case it was sworn, that the polling clerks, vao were interested persons, were about the church canvass ing votes. Mr. Justice COCERIDGE—What are the grounds of com plaint upon which you move. Mr. HILL—The right was refused, which circumstance created so much excitement that it was impossible to go on with the election: Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Was Brown sworn in ? Mr. HiLL—lt appears that he was, and the other individual was not in a condition to apply to the officers of the Ecclesi astical Court. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—How could it be ascertained that every person holding up his hand was an elector? Mr. HlLL.—Suppose, my Lord, it was even an idle custom, the voters were entitled to the right. • Mr. Justice COLERIDGIS—Take a rule to show cause.— Rule granted. Mr. HILL then applied to have the writ served on Mr. Brown ; to which the Court assented in case he had been sworn in as Churchwarden. The Court then proceeded to dispose of Nisi Fritts cases. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) MOON V. THE UNION OF WITNEY. This action was brought by the plaintiff (a surveyor) against the guardians of the poor of the parish of Witney, in Oxford. shire. It appeared that the guardians wished to build a work house for the Union, by the order of the Poor Law Commis sioners, and had employed an architect, named Kempthorn, to prepare the necessary plans. According to the custom of the profession, he employed the plaintiff to prepare specifications of the quantities. The action was brought to recover the amount of the plaintiff's bill, which had been included in the bill which was originally delivered by his employer to the guardians. It was contended on the part of the defendants that there had been no privity of contract between them and the plaintiff, who, in point of fact, was the servant of the archi tect, and to whom he ought to look for payment. Mr. Sergeant Wylde and Mr. Whitmore were'beard yes terday against the rule, and Mr. Sergeant Tflfourd, with Mr. Chilton, now appeared in support of the rule. The COURT decided that it would be absurd to suppose that Kempthorn, whose own claim amounted to 113/., would have accepted 801., as be had done, in satisfaction of that demand, as well as the amount of 651., claimed by the plaintiff. The plaintiff should be paid by some person, and the defendants were the only persons to whom he could look for remuneration. Rule discharged. , EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) FOBKETH V. WILLIAMS AND ANOTHER. This was an action for false imprisonment, which was tried before Lord Abinger at the sittings in Middlesex after Hilary term, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with 1001. damages. In a former term, Mr. Sergeant Stocks moved for and obtained a rule to' shew cause why the verdict should not be reduced, or a new trial had. The LORD CHIEF BARON now read over his notes of the trial, and suggested that in order to save litigation, both par, ties should agree that the verdict fahotild ho re c it i ped to 40/. Mr. Berjeant STqclis, op the part of the defendants, WA4 willing to accede tq the proposition, Mr. IiNLI4T; for the pitting could net consent. He then proceeded to show cause against the rule. From his state ment of the evidence, it appeared that there waS'sorne dis pute as to a right of Common somewhere in Herefordshire. The defendant obtained leave from some of the parries, cot tagers, to enter actions, and among others, the wife of the plaintiff had set her mark to their retainer. Eight actions were commenced in plaintiff's name, of which he knew nothing until the 10th of April, 1836, when he was taken in exe cution for the costs. Ile was carried to Hereford gaol, where ho was confined for two months end one day, all of which time, from poverty, being unable to pay for a bed, he was compelled to sleep on straw, and during the greater part of the time, until the gaoler took com passion upon him, he was confined to the gaol or county allow ance, all of which were great hardships oa a poor old maa of 74 years of age. The defendants had admitted their error in having gone on with the action without having a retainer. It was therefore their duty to have taken care that the old man should not suffer for their wrong. They must have known at the time, for their clerk attended the taxation of costs ; they should have paid them, and saved themselves from the consequences of this action. No rnan could possibly say that the damages were excessive for the imprisonment of an old man for such a period and under such circumstances. The Jury hid determined that the sum of 1001. was a just remune ration. It was a question peculiarly for them, and they had decided it after_ a charge or summing up, to say the least of it, not very favourable to the plaintiff. He hoped, under these circumstances, the Court would not disturb the verdict. Mr. RICHARDS followed on the same side. Mr. Sergeant STocKs said the defendants were only anxious to have the verdict reduced, because the damages were so large as to make it appear that their conduct had been unpro fessional. The old man, whose case had been so feelingly and with so much talent put before the Jury, was earning only 2s. a. day, and not in full work ; so that with the 501. verdict be would be paid the full wages of two years : surely any man must think that for an imprisonment of two months four years wages was too much. The defendants had no knowledge of the fact of the imprisonment until the 31st of May ; they surely ought to have been made acquainted with it at first; not only so, but the first notice they had of the matter was by being served with a rule, which put their professional cha racters at issue before the; Court, as its ,)fficers ; they were bound to defend themselves, which accounted for the delay which took place afterwards. He trusted that even with the chances of a larger verdict from another Jury, the Court would grant a new trial. _ _ - Lord AI►NGER, if he had been on the Jury, would have given smaller damages. It was a case, however, in which liberal compensation ought to be made ; and as it was not clear that another Jury would not give larger damages or the same, be did not think it was worth while to send the case to another Jury, as the defendants would have to pay the costs. It did not appear to him at Nisi Prigs that any pro fessional imputation rested on the defendants, and therefore it was that he was disappointed with the verdict. He thought it would be foi the interest of all parties that the verdict should remain undisturbed.—Rule discharged. In the case " James v. Griffin" the COURT made the rule for a non-suit absolute.

We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 14th May. A Proclamation has been published at Gibraltar, establishing a permanent Board of Commissioners, under the title of Board of Health of Gibraltar ; and by the order of his Majesty in Council it is further ordered that from and after the Ist day of November, 1830, all vessels, as well as his Majesty's ships of war, coming from, or having touched at any place that the plague or other infectious disease visited, must perform qua. rentine. That the Board of Health has ordered that vessels coming from Tunis shall forthwith quit Gibraltar. The news in the above papers from the South of Spain are not of so re cent a date as previously received via France. The strictest precautions have been taken in Malaga to guard against the introduction of the plague from the coast of Africa; and it appears by a Proclamation of the Board of Health of that city, dated the 29th ult., that the authorities all along the shore of the Mediterranean have likewise taken the alarm, and and adopted similar measures. We have received Malta papers to the 6th May, by which we have advices from Tripoli of the 15th ult., which give very unfavourable accounts of the state of that town. All restraint between the inhabitants seem to be relaxed, and the few orders and regulations which were at first enforced to prevent intercourse have been neglected, and the diseased and the healthy are hourly to be seen in the street, communicating with each other. The deaths within the walls on the 9th reached 76; the daily average being upwards of 50. The present population does not exceed 5,000 persons. Recent letters from Tunis assure us that the difficulties which had lately been raised in that Regency, with regard to the residence there of British subjects, natives of Malta, have been overcome. Consols continued firm yesterday, until late in the afternoon, they closed heavy at 91 1 3 -, for the Account, same for Money. The market giving way may be attributed to the unfavourable accounts from Liverpool in respect to commercial failures, as well as to persons realizing in the various Funds.

Exchequer Bills, 34 prem. ; India Bonds, 35 ; Bank Stock, 206,1 ; India Stock, 2601.
