LIVERPOOL MEETING FOR THE TOTAL ABOLITION OF CHURCH-RATES. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. This morning, pursuant to public advertisement, a meeting took place at the Music Hall, Bold-street, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the abolition of Church-rates. The requisition calling the meeting contained the names of all the leading Dissenters and Roman Catholics in the town, including also many Liberal Members attached to the Church of England. Owing to the extreme inclemency of the weather (for it rained in torrents durinc , the early part of the day) the large room w as l ess crow ded than it would otherwise have been. The attendance exceeded 1,000 persons. On the platform were seated the leading members of the new Town Council. Among others we noticed—Thomas Thornely, Esq., M.P. for Wolverhampton, James Brancker, Esq., (the Liberal candidate for Liverpool at the next election), William Rathbone, Esq., Thomas Blackburn, Esq., John Cropper, Esq., Thomas Bolton, Esq., Thomas Booth, Esq., C. Rawdon, Esq., Thomas Coglan, Esq., James Ryley, Esq., and a number of other influential gentlemen. Samuel Hope, Esq., banker, was called to the Chair. Thomas THORNELY, Esq., M.P., then rose to address the meeting. He said it was not his intention to have taken any prominent part in the business of the day. He had thought it to be his duty to attend the meeting in order to be a witness of the feeling of the public upon the question of church -rates, so as to be enabled to state his opinion correctly when he had to meet the represen tatives of the people elsewhere. It was in his opinion extremely unfair that Churchmen should ask Dissenters to pay towards the expenses of an establishment when they had the expenses of their own places of worship to defray. He had the happiness to live in times when a number of desirable reforms had been effected, and he hoped they were now on the eve of the abolition of church-rates. In 183,5, Mr. Childs, of Bungay, was im prisoned in Ipswich gaol, because he refused to pay church rates. He had been introduced to that gentleman in the lobby of the House of Commons, and he knew him to be a man of excellent character, and a sincere friend of civil and religious liberty. Mr. Russell, of Edinburgh, had last year been incarcerated in a prison for the same cause. The time had now arrived for the question to be fairly taken up.—(Hear.) He had no feelings of enmity towards the members of the Established Church—they were a respectable and numerous branch of the com munity—but he should consider them much more re spectable if they would defray the expenses attached to the church in which they worshipped, out of their own pockets. —(Cheers.) He would not further intrude upon the meet ing, but would conclude by moving the first resolution. It was to the effect, " That the levying of church-rates for the support of the established religion is both unjust and impo litic, tending to produce strife and animosity, and to destroy that peace and good-will among neighbours which it is one great object of Christianity to promote." Mr. JAMES MOLLYNEUX seconded the resolution, which was put by the CHAIRMAN, and carried with acclamation. Mr. BLACKBURN moved the next resolution, to the effect, that " nothing short of the total abolition of this vexatious impost can satisfy the demands of equity ; inasmuch as the substitution for it of a charge on the general revenue of the country would retain the principle ; is a more objectionable form than that in which it is now applied, and would in effect compel the inhabitants of Scotland and Ireland to contribute to expenses incurred for the accommodation of the wealthy Episcopalians of England." He observed that it was not an uncommon thing to hear the advocates of church-rates charge the opponents of them with a want of attachment to the British Constitution. Did not those persons who wished to see defects reme died prove that attachment ? There was a tide in all affairs which rendered alterations necessary ; and many things which, he had no doubt, when first introduced, worked well and effected the purpose for which they were established, now required a change, and no object required greater attention than that of a speedy abolition of chord:- rates.—(Cheers.) It had been said that the opposition raised against church-rates was an opposition to religion, and that those who opposed church-rates were enemies to the revealed truth. Now he would take two indi viduals : the one was anxious to follow the religion of the New Testament, relying upon himself for the sup port of his church, and hoping to see the religion of the Bible established throughout the world ; the other indi vidual contended that the church was unable to support itself independent of the aid of human government, and that it was necessary to exact payment for its support fro m those who conscientiously dissented from it. Looking at the two characters, which, he asked, was the greatest friend to true religion ?—(Cheers.) W. RATHMONE, Esq., in seconding the resolution, said church -rates, he considered, were forbidden by the Bible— opposed to the word of God, and had their origin only in the unhappy connection existing between Church and State. The existing system was pernicious, and grounded on er roneous principles. Under a different arrangement, the working clergy belonging to the Establishment would he better paid than they were at present.—(Cheers.) Mr. Rathbone concluded by again reiterating his belief that church-rates were iniquitous in themselves, contrary to the word of God, and injurious to the Church —(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN begged to express a hope that the Government would not abolish the church-rates by charg ing them to the Consolidated Fund—a measure which, he stated, would not satisfy the Dissenters, as it would be adding insult to oppression. The Chairman then put the resolution, which was carried, three or four hands only being held up against it. JAMES BRANCKER, Esq., the Liberal candidate for the representation of Liver/pool at the next election, presented himself to the meeting, and was received with three dis tinct rounds of applause. As a member of the Church of England, and sincerely approving of its doctrines, he felt ashamed of the existence of this unjust and paltry rate. He felt ashamed, he repeated, that the Church of England —the richest in the world—should be thus continually put ting its hands in the pockets of its neighbours.—(Cheers.) Were the perpetration of such injustice to be told 3 hundred years hence, it would scarcely be believed.—(Cheers.) He considered the exaction of Church -rates, proceeding from the richest portion of the Church of Christ, as paltry and unjust. He begged to read the petitions to Parliament ; that to the Commons would be confided to their worthy Representative, Mr. Evart—(Cheers)—and that to the Lords would be presented by the Eari of Derby. and its prayer supported by Lord Holland and their excellent neighbour Lord Sef ton.--(Cheers.) Mr. Brancker read the petition, which stated that the collection of church-rates was discreditable to the members of the Church of England, who are able, and ought to be willing to defray the expenses of their own worship ; that their collection was injurious to the peace of society, and unjust to the dissenting portion of the community ; and finally, that any measure having for its object the mere commutation of church-rates, by trans ferring the charge to the general revenue of the country, would be unjust towards the people of Ireland and Scotland, by levying a tax for the accommodation of the wealthy Epis copalians of England. JAMES RYLE - Y, jun , Esq., had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the petition. As a member of the society called Quakers—a body which had, more than any other, suffered serious privation by the levying of Church -rates, he felt deeply the justice and necessity of their abolition. The petition and accompanying resolution were then put and carried unanimously. Mr. T. BOLTON then proposed the following resolution : " That a Committee be appointed to take charge of the pe titions—that it be authorised to co-operat e w ith the Church rate Abolition Society recently formed in London, and to send deputies to the meeting of delegates, which is appointed to take place early in February, for the purpose of consi dering and determining upon measures for effecting the abolition of Church -rates, and that the following gentlemen be appointed to such Committee.—[Here followed the names of thirty gentlemen of the highest standing and re spectability in Liverpool, composed indiscriminately of members of the Church of England, Dissenters, and Ro man Catholics.] LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was carried amid acclamation. After some further remarks from J. B. BARCLAY, Esq., and Mr. HENRY HOLMES, a vote of thanks was proposed to the Chairman, by a veteran Reformer, OTTIWELL WOOD, Esq. The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks, and the meet ing separated. Messrs. Drummond and Co., with their usual libe rality, have contributed .50/. to the building fund of the Royal Naval School. A lecture on entomology was delivered at the Isling ton Liter s ary and Scientific Society, on Thursday evening, by Mr. H. Goadby, who availed 'himself of the imm e n se powers of the hydro-oxygen microscope, in bringing before the audience a very fine collection of specimens of the anatomy of the different parts. It struck us that this instrument might be also applied in illustration of lectures on botany. Yesterday a meeting of the British residents in Boulogne and its vicinity was held at Mr. Inces British Hotel, for the purpose of forwarding an address to his Majesty Louis Philippe, on his late providential escape from assassination. The room was crowded—Admiral Mackellar was voted into the chair. An address was read by Mr. Clifton, and proposed and seconded by Sir Theo- P hilus Pritzler and Sir William Hart ; and after some little alterations were made in it, at the suggestion of Mr. Benson and some other gentlemen, it was agreed to, we believe, with only one dissenting voice. i An amendment . was pro posed, but as no one seconded t, it consequently fell to the ground. The thanks of those present were voted to Ad miral Mackellar, for his conduct as chairman.—Boulogne Journal. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

ON approach of the COMMENCEMENT of JANUARY, all those who may have to write to us before that time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in directing, _ _ HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGII, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 10/., 20/ , or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forwarl the amount in One Note ; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassiag the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH. P. S. To persons having to remit 81., on receiving a Ten Pound Note, w . . 3 retnrn Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.

" w . 4' 2 .-4 4? • " LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1837. The installation of Sir ROBERT PEEL, as Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow, took place in that city on Wednesday last. The speech of the Right Honourable Baronet on this memorable occasion, is, without exception, the best he ever delivered. Its chief recommendation was sound common sense, expressed in language remarkable for its simplicity and heartfelt earnestness. It is something new to us to praise the Right Honourable Baronet ; but Heaven forbid we should ever be ungenerous enough to allow po litical prejudices to get the better of us, when discus sing his claims as a friend and instructor of youth ! It is delightful to see him in this capacity, laying aside for a time the bitternesses of party spirit, and anxious only to impress on the minds of the rising generation the necessity of strict attention to intellectual pursuits, as the surest means by which they may achieve distinc tion abroad, and happiness at home. Sir ROBERT did not exhort his young hearers to enlist under the ban ners of party. He did not impress on them the pro priety of their becoming staunch Conservatives : no, he doffed the motley Harlequin robe of the politician, and assumed instead the sober dress of the School master. The points we chiefly admire in his Inaugural Address, are, first, the healthy practical view he took of his subject ; secondly, the utter absence of all perplexing, abstract, metaphysical speculation ; and, lastly, the uniformly encouraging tone of his remarks. He spoke, not like a literary pedant, but like a literary cosmopolite. He did not undervalue great natural en dowments, but he gave d ue pra i se to acqu i re d ones . He spoke re vere ntially of its full sh are of gnius, but he allowed praise. e ~ Irepeat,”sa in dustry id he " with the earnestness of the deepest conviction, that there is, in my mind, a presumption amounting almost to certainty, that if any one of you will determine to be eminent, in whatever profession you may choose, and will act with unvarying steadiness in pursuance of that determination, you will, if health and strength be given you, infallibly succeed." Sir ROBERT is here speaking from his own personal experience ; but indeed throughout, it is evident that personal expe rience is the Mentor that suggests his opi nions, as the following passage sufficiently be tokens On by far the greater part of you, it is incumbent to acquire those qualities which shall fit you for action rather than speculation. It is not therefore by mere study, by the mere accumulation of knowledge, that you can hope for eminence. Mental discipline, the exercise of the faculties of the mind, the quickening of your apprehension, the strengthen ing of your memory, the forming of a sound, rapid, rnd discriminating judgment, are of even more im portance than the store of learning." We have here the good sense of the man of letters, sharpened and modified by the experience of the man of the world. Better, or more immediately and generally applicable, advice could not, under the circumstances, have been given, had all the Utilitarians and Political Eco nomists in the kingdom clubbed their wisdom for that purpose. Would that the Right Hon. Baronet's exhortations to his party were of the same generous and beneficial tendency ! But we feel ourselves en croaching upon politics, and it is not with these de grading strifes we have here to do. We here meet Sir ROBERT PEEL on neutral ground. He is not now the politician, but the schoolmaster ; and in this capa city we hold out to him the right hand of respect and amity. We may shortly meet him again in his old, and, we fear, embarrassing vocation, as leader of a great faction, when far other language must be held towards him ; but this shall not prevent us now saying, which we do in the sincerest and most unqualified terms, that—with the single exception cf Lord BROUGHAM'S —his Inaugural Address is the most manly, the most unaffected, the most earnest, and the most intelligible, that was ever delivered at Glasgow. It is a pure and healthy fountain, from which the aspiring youth who thirsts for knowledge may drink and be refreshed. An Anti-Church-rate meeting, the report of which will be found in another part of Tice Sun, was held on Thursday last, at Liverpool. The sentiments ex pressed by the speakers on this occasion, and cheered by the assembly, were in unison with those which have been uttered wherever a meeting having the same ob ject in view has been convened. Throughout the length and breadth of the land the same language is heard—the same spirit prevails. Liberal Churchmen everywhere unite with Dissenters in condemning the compulsory support of one religious system by the pro fessors: of another, and,i❑ adopting the active measures which are requisite to put a stop to so great an iniquity. The Churchman feels equally with the Dissenter, that the cause of true religion is sacrificed, and, moreover, that a blow is struck at the very foundation of his pe culiar faith, by the confession of the church -raters, that that faith requires the strong arm of secular power to uphold it. He feels, also, that to compel men who disapprove of a particular worship, to maintain that worship is alike a violation of the rights of conscience, and contrary to the principles of justice. In ad dition to this he is ashamed that the Church to which he belongs, a Church so richly endowed that it can afford to allow some of its ministers greater incomes than the Princes of the land receive, should de scend to the meanness of levying contributions upon those who can derive no benefit from it, and who have their own worship to support besides. These are the feelings of the more enlightened por tion of the members of the Church of England on the subject of Church-rates, and these feelings naturally lead them to co-operate with the Dissenters in getting rid of that which, if it does not press equally hard on the conscience, is in most other respects as obnoxious to the right-thinking • Churchman as to the Non-conformist. That the Church-rate is doomed to fall before the power that is now arrayed against it—and that very speedily, too — we have not the least doubt. The Church of Eng land does not number within its pale more than half the people of England ; yet it possesses funds adequate to maintain an establishment that shall comprehend the whole population. It claims, in its wisdom, the same religious allegiance, and the same temporal support that were willingly granted to a Church whose tenets were held by every member of the ceinmu nity. Can anything be more unreasonable, more "alien from common sense, than such a claim ? But in this we find exemplified the truth that bodies of men, united in exclusive Corporations, not under po pular controul, never advance with the times, and are never in harmony with an enlightened people. The Hon. and Gallant Member for Totncss, Colonel TORRENS, has addressed a letter, in the form of a pamphlet, to Lord MELBOURNE, on the Currency question. The opinions of Colonel TORRENS, upon all the leading political topics of the day, are so well known, that we consider it unnecessary to enter at any length into the nature of his views with regard to our monetary system. As, however, the subject is one which claims the especial consideration of all com mercial men at the present moment, it may be of im portance to observe, that the fundamental principle of Colonel TORRENS' system is the establishment of free trade in money. He maintains that the expansion or contraction of the circulating medium ought to be regulated solely by the Foreign Exchanges, and that to the violation of this principle--a principle by which the Directors of the Bank of England profess to be guided—is attributable to the periodical shock to which public credit is exposed. Were the Directors of the Bank of England to allow their issues to contract under the action of adverse exchanges, and to expand when the exchanges are in favour of Eng land, he is confident that the frequent shocks now felt in the commercial world would never have been ex perienced. But instead of contracting, the Directors of the Bank of England have uniformly allowed their issues to expand under the action of adverse Foreign Exchanges—thus cheapening money and ra i s i ng pr i ces , when the conservation of public credit rendered a course precisely the reverse absolutely necessary. The observations made by Colonel TORRENS upon the system of Private Banking in the Metropolis are deserving of the gravest consideration. We shall not fail to take the earliest opportunity of showing that the principles which regulate their operations are by i l no means so sound as the Hon. and Gallant Gentle man imagines. The credit created by them, though answering all the purposes of money, is, aftera r n l , pcpurleey s. fictitious; whereas the temptations to dishonesty which they h o ld forth, are in some sort irresistible with men of extravagant habits, aid loose principles. Colonel TORRENS entirely overlooks the appli cation of Bank issues ; he treats the question as if it made no difference to the community, whether a banker employed his credit in enabling an agriculturist to bring a thousand acres of untilled land into cultivation, or to multiply the luxurious enjoy ments of a titled spendthrift. Now, though this has nothing to do with a national bank, it certainly ought not to be overlooked in an inquiry into the true principles of Private Banking—principles which appear never to have been practically understood out of Scot land. The following extract from Colonel TORRENS' pamphlet, comprises a summary of the doctrines which the author seeks to inculcate : " I shall briefly recapitulate, and conclude. The cousi derations which I have presented to your Lordship, will, as venture to believe, be found sufficient to establish the aositions " That Bank deposits, which may be drawn against at sight, perform the functions of money, and are component parts of the general medium of exchange : " That a given amount of circulating money becomes the basis of a much larger amount of Bank deposits, or eredit money : " That the recent disturbance in the money market was occasioned by the error committed by the directors of the Bank of England, in departing from the principle, of leav ing the currency to contract or expand under the action of :he foreign exchanges : " That this error originated in the failure of the Bank lirectors to distinguish between effects produced upon the general medium of exchange, by a diminution of their cir culation, and by a diminution of their deposits " That if the Bank of England were to regulate its issues of paper by the course of the foreign exchanges, the circulation would always remain in the same state, both with respect to amount and to value, in which it would exist were it wholly metallic ; and that no over-issue of paper by the provincial Banks could have any permanent effect in rendering the currency of this country redundant in relation to the currencies of other countries : " That the interposition of the Bank of England for the purpose of supporting commercial credit, is necessary in those instances only, in which a previous departure from sound principles by the Bank directors themsels:es, may have occasioned a sudden contraction of the currency, and have produced a crisis in the money market : " That if the Bank directors were to adopt a judicious division of employment, in conducting the two-fold opera tions of the Bank, and to establish a complete separation between its functions as a bank of issue, and its functions as a bank of discount and deposit, no transactions, of what ever magnitude, between the Government and the Bank of England, could interfere with the strict and uniform appli cation of the only sound principle upon which a paper circula tion can be regulated ; namely, that of leaving it to con tract or expand, as the foreign exchanges become favourable or adverse : " And that should there exist, under the present arrange ments and circumstances of the Bank of England, any practical obstacle to the establishment of a complete separa tion between the business of issuing, paper, and the business of holding deposits and making advances, it will become necessary for the Legislature to place the medium of ex change under the management of competent functionaries, appointed, not by the holders of Bank stock, but by Go vernment ; responsible, not to their co-proprietors, but to Parliament ; and having for their first object and primary duty the protection, not of their own corporate property, but of the general interest of the nation." Owing to the stormy state of the weather, the French journals of Thursday have not yet reached London. As Thursday was fixed for the opening of the discussion on the Address, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, in the Chamber of Deputies, the delay in the arrival of the evening papers of that day is rather unfortunate. We are also without any intelligence from Spain. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR, having disposed of the re maining lunatic petitions, proceeded with the appeal of the Attorney-General v. the Dean of St. Paul's. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) Berlin WESTLAKE V. WESTLAKE. Henry Westlake, a grey-headed west country farmer, the defendant in this suit, was brought up in custody for his con tempt in not putting in his answer. The VICE-CLIANCELLOIt-Why have you not put in your answer ? Defendant—Whoy, I'se rather make it up in another way, if you plase.—(Laughter.) The VICE-CHANCELLOL—But that will not do. Are you too poor Defendant—l be, Zur. All the things I'd got ha' gave, zum one way, and zum another. I thought I zho'd ha' had zutnthincr arter harvest, but they put the overzecrs on me, and zolSwhat I'd a got. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Have you employed any Solicitor ? Defendant—No, I ar'nt, Zur. The VICE-CHANCELLOR —Why don't you ? Defendant—l don't know. I can hardly move out of the place. I'sc bad in my leg.—(Laughter.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR--I am sorry for that ; but are you so poor that you cannot employ a solicitor ? Defendant—Why, I 'don't know how to do it, Zur. They ha' sold every thing I'se possessed of The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Why does your Solicitor not go on with the matter ? Defendant—l never employed any body yet. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Have you any property ? Defendant—Very little. The VICE-CHANCELLOa—How much do you suppose ? Defendant—l can't tell ; there is very little 'gin I'se paid one and another. The VICE-CHANCELLOR-5001. ? Defendant —Vivo hundred! God bless'ec, Zur. The V ICE - CHANCELLOR—Well, 100/. Defendant —No, I can't tell I'se zure—(Laughter) ; I once 'ad a good many pounds. The defendant having been sworn by the Registrar as to whether he was too poor to employ a Solicitor, and having answered in the affirmative, his Honour directed the usual order to be made, and the poor old man was escorted out of the Court by his attendants. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) MALINS V. FLETCHER.-JUDGMENT. This was a bill filed for the specific performunce of an agreement. The plaintiff being entitled to an estate called the Rookery, at Woodford, in Essex, employed Messrs. Elli s an d Son, as auctioneers, to sell the same by auction, in five lots, on the Bth of May, 1834 ; and the same auctioneers were employed by a Mr. Davis, to sell for him an estate at Leighton, on the same day, and at the same place, Garraway's Coffee House. The defend ant, a cheesemonger, carrying on business in Southwark, was a friend of Davis, and having met Davis on the day preceding the sale, he offered to go and bid for him, which offer Davis accepted. A meeting was appointed to take place at the auctioneer's on the following day, at twelve o'clock, that the defendant might receive in structions from the auctioneer ; but the defendant not arriving at place of meeting till between one and two o'clock, hurried away to Garraway's, without having received instruc tions, fearful that he would be too late to bid for Dlvis. The defendant arrived at the auction-room while the second lot of the plaintiff's estate was under sale. Lot 2of the plain tiff's estate was bought in, and the auctioneer having de scribed lot 3 in terms wholly inapplicable to Davis' estate, offered it for sale. The defendant went on bidding for it in a hasty and inconsiderate manner, until he arrived at 1,4001. ; the lot was then knocked down to him, and the auctioneer declared the property absolutely sold. An individual present, also employed by Davis to bid for him, asked the defendant what had induced him to purchase the lot, to which the defendant replied, it was Davis' property ; and upon being informed of his mistake, he appeared much flurried, and said he would speak to the auctioneer. Hav ing waited until the sale was over, he informed the auc tioneer of his mistake, and refused to sign the contract or pay the deposit. The auctioneer wrote his name as a purchaser on a copy of the conditions and particulars of sale in such a manner as the plaintiff alleged to make the contract binding on the defendant, and therefore insisted he was articled to a specific performance. Lord LANGDALE, in giving judgment this morning, ob served, that in cases of specific performance the Court exercised a sound discretion, and would not in all cases en force its jurisdiction. In cases of intoxication, although the party might not have been drawn into drink, yet, if the agreement was made while he was in a state of intoxica tion, the Court would not decree a specific performance. After carefully reading over the evidence, his Lordship was of opinion the defendant had never intended to bid for the estate ; and if the defendant's conduct had occa sioned any loss to the plaintiff, for that he would be an swerable, and the plaintiff might sue him for damage ; but it would not be equitable to compel him to perform the contract, and therefore the bill must be dismissed without costs. DOBSON V. LYALL.—(JUDGMENT.) In this case, the facts of which were given when the case was argued, the MASTER of the ROLLS decreed the Bot tomry Bond to be void as against the plaintiff, and directed an account to be taken of what was due to him. In consequence of the absence of Mr. Kindersley, who is labouring under an attack of the prevailing influenza, his Lordship was unable to proceed with the business, and the Court rose at half-past eleven o'clock. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) EX PARTE FETHERSTON HAUGH. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had an application to make which caused him considerable pain, inasmuch as the necessity which prompted it showed that justice was not administered in some of the tribunals in this country in that way in which all well disposed persons might desire. His motion was for a certiorari, directed to the Mayor and Jus tices of Worcester, commanding them to return into this Court certain informations taken against Alexander Father stonhaugh and Joseph Fctherstonhaugh, on the 14th of November last. It appeared from the affidavit of Alexan der Fetherstonhaugh, that he has resided for eighteen years and carried on the business of a chemist and drug gist in High-street in the city of Worcester, having during that long period earned and retained the .good will and friendship of all his neighbours. The otherper son, Joseph Fetherstonhaugh was the brother of Alexander. The CHIEF JUSTICE—From what jurisdiction do you wish to remove the case ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--The parties on whose be half he moved were bound over to answer any indictment that might be preferred against them in the city of Worces ter. The circumstances which led to the present proceed ings were these. It appeared that some time previously Alexander Fetherstonhaugh employed as his attorney and solicitor in a certain cause a Mr. Holden, and had advanced him several sums of money on account, for which he re ceived vouchers in the usual manner. Subsequently a meeting was held at the house of Mr. Fetherstonhaugh for the purpose of settling accounts, and when the items had been fully gone through, the documents and vouchers were put into a drawer in the presence of Mr. Holden. In a few days they were missing, and as no one was aware where Mr. Fetherstonhaugh placed them but Mr. Holden, that gentleman was asked about them, and denied all knowledge of them. Under these circumstances Mr. Hol den sent in his bill for fees and disbursements to a considerable amount, without givir ' e the proper credits. On the 14th of November Mr. A. Fetherstonhaugh went to the house of Mr. Holden to see him on the subject of his demand. Holden was then in bed, and until he could dress, Mr. Fetherstonhaugh was requested to remain in an adjoining room. While in this room he saw a bundle of papers, which appeared to be the vouchers and documents respect ing the account which he had put into his own drawer, in the presence of Holden. Holden shortly afterwards came in, and when he saw the state of matters he appeared abashed, endea vouring so to place himself as to cover the bundle. Mr. Fe therstonhaugh then gave the bundle of papers to his brother Joseph to carry them home, which he accordingly did, Alexander followin g . On their arr i va l a t th e i r h ouse , it was found that in th e bundle there were two or three other papers not belonging to them ; these were immediately re turned to Holden, who at once obtained a search-Warrant, and the premises of Mr. Fetherstonhaugh were searched as for stolen goods. It was stated in the warrant that several goods and chattels, to wit, certain draft bills of costs and of cash accounts between Holden and Fetherstonlinugh, and several agents' bills of costs, and other papers were stolen, and it authorised a search for the same in the house of Mr. Fetherstonhaugh, who was absent from home when the search was made ; and on the 14th of November he was taken into custody, and brought before the Magistrates, the Mayor and Recorder of Worcester. An investigation took place, and the facts now stated were given in evidence. A charge of felony was brought against Alexander and Joseph Fetherstonhaugh, and he (the At torney-General) was sorry to say that upon that occa sion the Mayor and Recorder of Worcester bound over both brothers to appear to answer a charge of felony, but it should be stated that the Recorder then expressed himself—.l beg pardon, my Lords, I am wrong in saying it was the Recorder—l find it was the stipendiary magistrate of Wor cester, Mr. Sidebottom. He said, " I totally acquit Mr. Alexander Fetherstonhaugh of any intention to defraud, or of any other guilty knowledge in taking away the accounts, but I must admit th a t th e re t urn o f th other papers does not purge the felony." And the Mayor said he did not like:the term felony—that was too strong a word ; but yet he bound both gentlemen over on a charge of felony. And, indeed, since the days of Dogberry, there was not heard such strange conduct in the administration of justice. The CHIEF JUSTICE—This took place on the 14th of November, was there not a sessions since ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The informations are re turned to the Assizes. Mr. Fetherstonhaugh has made an affidavit, stating that a charge of felony having been made against him, has pressed heavily upon the mind of his wife ; and the very fact of his being obliged to stand in the felon's dock, to plead and to hold up his hand in the usual man ner, were in themselves a great hardship upon a respectable citizen, of unimpeachable character. He did not wish to remove the trial to Gloucester, or to any distant county. All they required was to have it brought from the city, to the county, of Worcester. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Was the charge of felony con fined to the bundle of papers ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Entirely so, my Lord. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Take your rule. COURTENAY V. RAPHAEL AND ANOTHER. This case was tried at the last London Sittings before the CHIEF JUSTICE. It was an action for breaking and entering the plaintiff's house on the 3d of June, 1835. The defendants were Sheriffs of the city of London, and it ap peared that an execution having been obtained against Charles Baker Courtenay, jun., at the suit of a person named Hart, a writ of ,fieri facia: issued, and, in conse quence, the defendants, on the day named in the declara tion, entered his father's house, seized all his goods, and re mained there for a fortnight, a time longer than was neces sary, even supposing the house and the goods therein to belong to the younger Mr. Courtenay. There were several pleas, but the chief one stated that the defendants had not stayed longer than was necessary, upon which the plaintiff now assigned, and the material question as to the fact of a tres pass by reason of remaining too long on the plaintiff's premises. At the trial it was contended that the assign ment of the bons° and goods to the father by the son was only colourable, and the Jury found a verdict for the de fendants. Mr. ERLE now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had upon the ground stated, namely, that relating to the trespass in re maining so long upon the plaintiff's premises. The COURT thought the Jury had fully decided the en tire question, and therefore refused to set aside the verdict. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T W ELV E O' CL 0 CK. Our only arrival this morning is a French mail. There are two Hamburg mails due. No ship letters received. THE FUNDS. Up to the present time little or nothing doing in either of the Markets, owing to several non-arrivals. The set tling of the Consol Account went off well yesterday.

The news of the deliverance of Bilboa, when received at Madrid, caused very great excitement. Nothing but shouts were heard of " Long live Espartero"—" Long live the Na tional Guard of Bilboa"--" Long live England ;" but there were no cries of " Long live France." The general topic of conversation in the City this morn ing entirely' relates to the intercepted letter from Stephens to Mitchell, at Bayonne, describing the precipitate retreat and total defeat of the Carlists at Bilboa, in which the truth came out. The citizens are greatly amused in the perusal of this important document. We hear that a great part of the account in the settle• ment of yesterday remains open, owing to the out-of-the- House speculators " not coming to the scratch" with the Brokers. We just hear of a failure of a Hebrew in the Stock Ex change, on a difference of two hundred thousand Consols. HALFoPAST ONE O'CLOCK- We have stated above that the failureinth; Stock Ex change this morning was on a difference of 200,0001. Con sols ; we now find that the Hebrew in question has to pay 12,0001. difference on 400,0001., and has only to meet the above, 2501. This ought to be a caution in future as to what kind of characters they admit in the House. This being pay day for the differences for the settlement of the account of yesterday, the Brokers and Jobbers ex perience great difficulty in receiving the needful. Consols have been during the morning better for money than for time. A decline of 4 per cent. was felt. Consols are at present 89i s for money ; 89i for the Account ; Exchequer Bills lower, 21 p rem. ; India Bonds 12 14 ; Bank Stock, 2091.

The Italian Opera Company, now performing at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, are enjoying very considerable pa tronage, and nightly attract numerous and elegant audi ences ; among whom the Lord Lieutenant and Countess are almost nightly to be seen. The sum lately obtained by the Literary Fund So ciety, in consequence of a reversionary interest dropping in, was stated, by some inexcusable blunder, at 2001. instead of 2,0001. We understand that the private fortune of the Illus trious Consort of his Majesty King Leopold, independently of her father, is upwards of 30,000/. per annum ; and the King of the French having given her 20,000/. per annum more, the Queen's income is 50,0001. a year private fortune. Earl Mulgrave held his second levee for the season on Tuesday, which was numerously attended. Among the company were Earl Fingal], the Rev. Viscount Mountnorris, Lord Rossmore, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. H.
