TnE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts' front the Morning Papers, July 9.9. [BRITISH PRESS.] Lisbon Papers to the 17th reached our office yesterday. We give their principal contents in atiother column. The Junta appointed to prepare a seven-day Constitution for Portugal, had its first formal sitting on the 7th, at the Palace of Rocio, when the President of the Constitution makers, Pa!melte, addressed them in a length ened speech. The fact is., all this novel legisla tion will soon vanish if the Constitutionalists, as we augur they'will, succeed in Spain. We know, from our private accounts, that while Palmella irtid others_ have liberty and new Constitutions in their months, the grossest tyranny reigns in Por tugal : the party of Don Miguel, and the Queen, and absolute power and superstition, is, for the bout-, triumphant, and the weak and perjured John VI. is " but a cipher in the great account." New arrests and imprisonments were taking place every day, at the instance of the Prince, the Queen, and the Cardinal Patriarch,' and ge neral persecution was heaped on the friends of the former Constitution and liberty. This will just last until the French retreat ont of Spain; then the late order of things will again be re- vived, and the Constitution triumph in despite of Alignel,-the Queen, and their Janissaries .in Lis bon. General discontent reigns through all the second orders in Lisbon and throughout Portugal. [xonhrrivo citnoivi ca.) By late accounts from Greece, theiriends of that interesting country have been •relieved from the fears occasioned by the illiberal reports cir culated by the_enemies of liberty, respectiug.the late changes in the Executive Government in • Greece. The liberal and enlightened men who formed th e E xecu ti ve .Goiernment of Greece, under Mavrocordato; and Who gave their best assistance to establish a Representative SYstem, and to render it effective for the good of the Peokle, have concurred in forming a more aft , ' chuit Executive, by embodying the Military Chiefs as part of it'. The want of co=ope ration on the part of the Military Chiefs in the severai Provinces, has' hitherto weakened the ef . forts o f the nat io n tothrow" off' the yoke of their opprebNors,' and, as the hearts of all, are well dls posed, it was Most desirable to have the arms of all directed hi unison to ensure success' to the standard of liberty in Greece. That object is in a fair way of being obtained by the change which has recently taken place, which cannot fail to strengthen ell the efforts, and to give more power. fol effect to the operations both by sea and land,' against .irhe common enemy. Petro Bey, Who' commanded the greatest body of troops, and whose exertions have been so important in the gallant struggle to clear Greece of the Ottomans, has been placed at the head of the Executive Government in Greece, and Mavrocordato, the late President, has accepted with pleasure the situation of Secretary for Voreign Affa"trs,.under Petro Bey, to act with him. IMORNMO 'JERALD.] ' "The accounts yesterday from Paris are inte resting. The Offi c i a l Monileur of Friday adds Corunna, and Ferro! to the number of_ places already declared in a state of blockade, and the Ministers of neutral - Powers at Paris are informed by a ,circular, that ail vessels; of whatever nation, attemptiug to enter those places, will be. taken 8 0 confiscated by his' Most Christian Majesty. Film the line of coast declared in a state of block ade, compared with the maritime strength of the French, it is obviously' a mere paper blockade, which they are unable to enforce ; and the exe cution of the threat held out in the circular, in steed of preventing commercial expeditions to Cadiz, Barcelona, Santona, Saint Sebastian, Corunna;Scr. will 'only give rise to vexation and insult. The very circular admits that vessels under different colours enter several of those places. ft can hardly be by sufferance, and nut from an inability to prevent them. The block ade of Cadiz is endeavoured to be maintained with the greatest vigilance and rigour ; yet most ineffectually.---According to the last accounts, provisions had been carried in there in great' quantities, and the place was stated to' be /pro. visioned for three months. But the French could not, with a much larger naval force, prevent Cadiz from being provisioned by vessels from foreign ports, or from other ports of Spain.— . The block ading vessels, in a gale of wind, or upon ~any symptoms of its approach, must stand out to sea for safety, and thus leave the port of Cadiz open. There are some further, but rather insignificant, details of the sally made by. the Spaniards from the Isle of Leon, with, from fi,ooo to 9,000 meti. The Frettek of course claim a victory. it is curl oils, that at the outsuf time the. French blockading Admiral, Hamelin, has prevented the going out of the fishing boats, through which see might have received the Spanish version of the affair. This ig a now rigour in maritime warfare. During the late war, with France, the fishing vessels were mutually allowed to pass unmolested. Accounts from Coruiiva of the ',..),0th have reached the Ad. miralty, by the way of Falmouth. The place still held out, but the tiring, it is said, continued. All accounts concur in representing the garrison a nd inhabitants as resolved upon holding out to the last extremity—and even as not ill.prosided. A thousand stand of arms, and fifty-three barrels of gun-powder bad been received there from Enr,,dand, previously to the approach of the French, and there is reason to hope that a further supply from Eneland has reached either Corunna or Vigo by this time. [mottstNr, POST.] French Papers, to the 28th instant, arrived yesterday., Their contents are of considerable importance. If dissensions exist at Madrid be. tween the Ito)aiists, they also begin to reveal themselves in the French capital, and in the army. The Ultras in both are highly dissa.tis. fled with the manner in which the war has been carried on, especially in Catalonia, and have commenced venting their complaints aloud. These, whether just or unfounded, are of great use to the general understanding of the real state of the contest, for in order to support them facts are brought forward which had till then been carefully concealed, and which throw light upon many important points. Thus we are informed, by the Drapeart Blanc, that the indefatigable and heroic Mina, instead of lying on the bed of sickness, or of death, as all the Ministerial Jour nals had joined in stating, had once more passed into the rear of the enemy, and with a force of not less than 9,000 men was in full march for the French frontiers, where he was expected to create 64 some confusion." The consequence of this must be, we are told, " that the army will be obliged again to march in pursuit of him, and that the blockade of Barcelona cannot be con tinued." Here is a late, and an unintentional, but a complete admission of the excellence of the system of warfare carried on for the last two months by that enterprising and skilful Comman der. After being loaded with abuse for his al leged aptitude • at nothing but flight, for so the movements by which he drew the whole of Moncey's army after him were called, the effi ciency of those movements to his purposes is now loudly proclaimed, and great danger is appre. hended from their renewal. [Ttt z'LIMES ] . Without giving way to unreasonable expecta tions, or indulging in strong expressions, we are 'fully 'borne out by the intelligence of the last three days in affirming that the proipeets of the brave Spaniards have sensibly brightened. Three serious engagements have been fought, in two of which the troops of Spain have made the attack, and in two, at least, have achieved the victory. In none have her arms come off without unquestion able honour. The guerillas hue begun to act with fresh spirit,' and almost without resist ance. The factious are ne where to'be seen. The Spanish fortresses all remein untouched, - and thekgerrisons and inhabitants have giVen roofs of an unshaken' determination to. defenthhem. While their national . cause exhibit 4 these symp-' toms of prosperity, 'that of the.. enemy appears to be hourly undermined' by disappointed hopes, - and by internal discord and animosity. The aboie outline it will not be difficult to till In' AndaluSia the French, - ho'wevdr lloarishing their dispatches,appear tehave made dot an inch . of progres's• towardS . the grand ere of all their operations'—the reddction of Cadiz,• and . the release• of Ferdioand„ We.Wad'heard much of the want of a sufficient . .garrison in that city—and more of a. dearth of provisions: - We were - fold that' there was not a cannon mounted' 'which would hear a single discharge. All these tales now preve to be, gross fabriCations. Cadiz, on the 16th, one of those days on which Corunna so 'successfully repufsed . its besiegers, sent out no lesi than o,oooMen, to 'try the force Of Bard esoul t's division. A long and ostentatious Freatth aecount of the 'actions which'were the consequence of this movement admits that not alingle - SPahish coin pang' was cut off, but makes the loss of the Spa:. niards 1,500 men, and acknowledges, according• to custern; but a trifling incliriling five officers, wounded, on the part of the invaders.--- It is, however, clPaty that the•SpatitA Generalti combined their operation svithskill andaceuracy, and exectitecU the details' of it with great Cool ness. The . sortie was made in six columns, under the cover of sixty' heaiy guns (we thought there had: been no serviceable guns 'tit Cadiz !) It appear's pretty.eVident that this de- , ' rnonstration was more in the nature ore reconnois sance to make the enemy diicover his force, and the distribution of it, than with a view tollrive' 'him from before the walls of Cady ; for where, indeed, could a French corps be stationed wi th' s less apparent chanCe orelfecting any serious rms. chief to the Spaniards---placed as are the latter in a well-protected fortress---with a garrison, as . we are assured" of 18,000 men ? and with provi sions supplied to them in abundance, at a ruinous distance, should the war continue, - from the frontier of the besieging army. In the neigh bourhood, again, of this scene of operation,• and ready to concentrate themselves—namely, the rear of Bordesoult—are the troops of Zayas (said to be at Malaga), Lopez Banos, and Ballasteros. The last mentioned officer, as the journals affirm, having left some strong , garrisons on the south eastern coast, to. check the advance of Molitor's division,. was in full march for Andalusia.- MARQUIS bF HASTINGS. DINNER TO THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. The entertainment given to the Marquis of RiSTINGS on his return to England took place yesterday at Willis's Rooms. The company consisted almost exclusively of Gentlemen for merly resident in India, or connected in some shape with our stupendous possessions in that country. The Noble Marquis arrived soon after seven o'clock. His appearance indicated the highest state of health, and his flow of spirits throu g h ou t th e evening was even of a juvenile cast. A little before eight, the company sat down to the sumptuous dinner provided on the occasion. The dessert was equally superb and expensive. Lord William Bentinck was In the chair, supported by their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Sussex and Prince Leopold. Sir John Malcolm, G.C.B. acted as Vice l president.-Ihere were also present— His Excellency Admiral Jabat, the Spanish Ambassador, Count de Mandelsloh, the Ambassador - of the King of Wir temberg, the Earl of Breadalbane, the Earl of Gosford, Lord Holland, Lord Bexley, Lord W. Russell, Lord Bowden, Sir W. Young, Bart., Sir E. H.. East M.P., Sir H. Blackwood; Bart., Sir A. Johnson, Sir J. Doyle, G.C.8., Sir Edw. Cole brook, Sir Robert Gardiner, Sir S. Brown, Sir C. Cockerel', Bart., Sir C. Doyle, Sir H. Seton, Sir H. APOregor, Sir W. Clinton, Sir W. Congreve, Bart.,. Right Hon. C. W. Wynn, Dr. Lushington, Dr. Philihnore, Hon. J. Sullivan, Right Hon. J. C. Villiers, Hon. H. Elliott, Mr. Caleraft, Major-General Nichol', Hon. B. Cochrane Mr. W. Mr. G. Smith, Mt. R. Jackson, Mr. Trant, and many Gentlemen interested in our Indian affairs. The dinner being concluded, Non NUN: Domine was sung in excellent style by the professional attendants . - " The King," —" The Duke of York and the Army . "—and " The Duke of Clatanee.and the Navy," having been severally drunk 'Atli the usual honours and musical accompaniments, the Noble Chairman next gave " The health of the Duke of Sussex," which was received with considerable applause, and toasted with three times three. , • The Duke of Su SSEIi begged leave to acknowledge the com pliment paid to him,. and to assure the company, that he felt the highest gratification in assistirig on that occasion, betanse it gave him an opportunity of publicly expressing his heartfelt pleasure in welcoming his Noble Friend, who had that day done them the honour of accepting their invitation. So desirous did he feel to make this declaration in 'the face of his country, that go engagement should have prevented him from attending the l ogiertaininent.—(Cheers !)—He begged again to express the great obligation under which he considered himself to those gentlemen who had enabled him to accomplish his wishes by assisting on such a memorable and worthy occasion —(Cheers.) The CIIAIRMAN then proposed the health of his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, which was drunk with applause. His ROYAL HIG/IVEB(4 returned his warmest thanks for the honour. He was highly gratified in having been so kindly noticed at d.at Meeting. because it. was assembled in testimony . of their respect for the Noble Marquis, whose public and pri vity character stood on such a deserved and lofty eminence.- (Cheers.) The CifAl4ll4l4 . said, that in 'rising to Propose, the health of the illustrious individual, whose splessilidsichievements they were assembled that evening to" conmpuorate,. he felt that lie should rather lessen than 'increaSe th‘entlitaintsm which the mere mention c'f his name Would' produce ' by any attempt to panegyrise his character. Ile (Lord W. Bentinck) sin cerely wished the 'task was in abler hands, for ilthis, he Was ttatisfied, it could not be performed without sustaining in. hory.--(Cheers.).-.ln adverting to the policy by which India ad been *overned, he felt it difficult to separate the past and present history of our vast and :flourishing empire in that country, and to diSconnecr the atinsinistration .of the, Noble Marquis frOm thepreviouS period hi which hi (Lard 'W. Ben. ttnck) had been himself concerned. lie felt hiluselr hound 40 pay his tribute of respect to the Marquis Wellesley., for the policy which that eminent statesman had pursued in India; and to which was to be ascribed the first foundation of the seen, rity of the British possessions in Asia. 'lt was - reserved' for the Marquis of llastings to carry that system into complete effect ; and, as far as human foresight would allow us to look forward . With confidence, we might now say that that Noble Lord's pro.: found and splendid career, in pursuance of the Alarquis . Welles ley's policy,..had insured the permanent security of the British possessions in India. (Cheers.)-In reviewing the conduct or the arquis of Hastings, it srouki be found impossible to do justice to his extraordinary merits ; whether as a General, defeating the great confederacy which at one period threatened our Indian possessions ; or as a conqueror, disposing of the territory ac. quired by his valour, and settling the country in permanent peace and prosperity ; :or as a philanthropist, not the least con spicoons part of the Noble Marquis's character, devoting him self principally to ameliorate the condition of the immense po. pulation submitted to his authority it was difficult to affirm in which eapacity his splendid talents and not less splendid virtues appeared tb the greatest advantage. It must be a grati. fy az circumstance to the Noble Marquis, as it was to his friends s that in the whole space of his Military g 'I political achieve. men ts there was not theeinallest speck to uce disappointment or regret (cheers.) No charge either of putt ; ambition or private malversation had been preferred agtinst Belf-defence alone had compelled then to action against Ilia country's enemies, and in the hour of victory his forbearance hattinduced him to allow them to retain Whatever , the future defence. of the empire did not render it necessary to withhold: All then solid and splendid advantages had been ebtained without any real ad dition, as he (Lord W. Bentinck) was informed, to the debt of India;while the policy of the Noble Marquii had,created an addition of five millions to the annual redemption 'cif that debt. --(Cheers.) It was impossible, on considering these grand re, sults, to refrain from entertaining the highest admiration. of the Noble Marqnis, under whose' auspices they had beeneffected. He would not trespass further on the attention of the meeting,: but with all the sentiments glowitq( in his heart, to Which his tongue had in vain endeavoured to give utterance; he would concrude with proposing the health of the Marqudi of Hastings. • i The toast vies received. with the warmest i see itha ti o n s, rind repeated rounds of applause followed it. . The Marquis of Harrixoi addressed the company to the me w i ng effect:-My Lords and Gentlemen-To refrain front avowing that I have been kindly, most kindly impressed by your reception of me, and that I am duly mensible to the en eondunt passed upon my conduct by the Noble Chairman, and do the concurrence which your epplamie testified.; would be, on my putt, ridiculous and ill-Judged, no less than ungrateful. With' the warmest thankfulness and pride I haie heard the sentiments in which yeti` have been pleased to indulge, and I think, without arrogating any of the ,m'erit which you have so lavishly bestowed Upon me, I may say that this tes timony of your approbation sheds peculiar lustre upon me.- (Cheers.)-I feel that I derive front it an honourable clove tion.-(Cheers:)-4 gladly amity you that, with respect to the .. policy which the Noble Chairman has' been pleased to ascribe to me-that of having followed the footsteps of the Marquis Wellesley, it is true that he did chalk the outline which it Was my fortune to fill up. It was the extension of his views that measured the scale on which I felt it my duty to act. Much, indeed, has been done in India , and not done by any fortuitous and favoured combination of circumstances, but by im unprecedented series of military achievements, owing to the invincible valour and consummate ability of our arrny.-;• vheers. )}-1.3y those means have successive nations been conquer ed, and the security of our empirebeen strengthened and confirm ed. 11 :1 6 Noble Chairman. has divided my praise into two-heads. He has complinic.nted rne, because, while I was pursuing what has been justly termed a necessary war in the defence of our Indian empire, I was not led to overlook the peculiar concerns of the Conipsny. That engagement, however, was the con dition on winch I acce pted the office of Governor-General, and it was, in my judgment, a sacred obligation ' which no conshjer.. miens would have warranted me to have violated.-(Cheere.l- if, however, I contd have been oblivious of that sacred bond, I can now ,never forget the splendid liberality which I have since experienced from the Company. No words can ex. press what I feel at the munificence of their conduct towards me. If I have succeeded, I' have only . performed My strict duty. I did no more than any man animated by a British soul would have done--(Clicers.).-Viliich of our countrymen couldlook at the degradation of the native population or India, flowing from their besotted ignorance and rooted superstition, and not feel the strongest desire to elevate them in the scale of human nature? Which of you, witnessing the miserable state tinder which they labour, would not deem it a' brantkon his man hood if lie did not step forward to destroy the causes of their mi. eery ? Which of you, becoming- aware of the progress or a perfi dious plot to extirpate the British name front India, woultt not anticipate and bee it as I did)--a plot which in its results would have proved of t h e utmost per il to t h e sa f e ty o f t h e w h o l e empire ?-(Che ers . which' every )-I feel that have only acted the part Englishman would have acted. Accident, which placed me at the head of the military and civil powers, entailed en me a lustre to which my own individual merits never would . have entitled me. I stood on an eminence from which I ap peared to excite i mpu l ses which would otherwise have arisen imontaneoutily, ing and directing; he situation enegy grave of mnyle countrymen,t hea paran appeara nce of i sans_ i did n a ti on sit ti tr is ti d a a n y not depend upon but ' me alone, as my too partial friends seem to suppese.. I have often comprehended the advantage of i g n ai ma nin n g y e v ie ari s o u ti fi s iag be e a s rin o r ny bu f t e .hn ow n! e n t e ni s n o tr i y n m uc e i n i who are here this day assembled.. -(Cheers.)-I wish I had words to express myself. I must leave you to iniagine what the. wannest and most grateful of hearts would dictate.-(lsoud cheering.) The Duke of SUSSEX. said, that having obtained permis sion to give tv toast, he felt pleasure in dung to propose the health of the Noble Chairman. Every one acquainted with tho public and private•character of that distinguished indivi dua4 and who had had the happiness to hear the sentiments he had delivered from the Chair that evening, must feel that a tribute o ►atitude was due to him for tak i ng the situation which h ead so ably performed. If the Noble Chairman were absent, he (the Duke of Sussex) might indulge in expa tiating on his merits. The Noble Lord, howev er , k new that he never paid compliments where he did not think them de served. What he had then said was only the expression of his affection towards that distinguished individual, who was emi nently- entitled to the character of an honest man, a gentleman, and, above all, a true Englishman.—(Cheers.) The toast was drank with great applause. The CHAIN MAN returned thanks for the very flattering man ner in which the Royal Duke had proposed this health. He begged to say a few words, as this was the first lime, since his return from India, that he had come in contact with so distin guished a portion of the Indian people. He should always feel it a great honour to have belonged to that community.— (Cheers.-It was his honest and conscientious opinion, that there did not exist any set of public servants possessing more higher .honour, stricter att ent i on , more real dignity of character, and more real patriotism, than the servants.of the East-India Company.—(Cheers.) He would never go out of his way to give compliments; but when the opportunity offered to speak the truth, he should have felt it a gross neglect of duty, if he had not paidhis homage of profound respect to the virtues and talents of the - East-India Company's servants. The Chairman then gave " Sir Thomas Hislop, and the Armies who fought under the Marquis of Hastings. The toast was drunk with three times three. The CHAIRMAN said, be-felt the last toast was incomplete unless he also gave the health of the second in command ; and fin this purpose he would borrow the very eloquent words of Mr. Canning, in the speech with which he had proposed the 'rote of thanks in the House of Commons. Mi. Canning said, " and that of Sir John Malcolm also, the second in command—. second io none in renown, whose name will remain as long as the British language is . spoken, or•the British fl ag h o i st in that Vast continent."--(Cheers.)--In those words he (the Chair -man) •cordially concurred. The health of Sir John Malcolm was' then drunk with great applause. • Sir I. AIALCbr.m apologized for theabsence of Sir T.'Hislop, .and returned thanks for himself in a neat speech. " The President and Members of the India Board" having heen drunk, Mr..W. WYNN returned thanks for the honour conferred on himself andcolleagues, in being invited to join in the welcome to the Noble 'Marquis, of whose services his official situation better enabled him to appreciate than ordinary persons. The CliAinsiAN then proposed the health of the "Chairman and Court of Director s of - the East India Company." Mr. G. SMITH briefly returned thanks. The Duke of SIISSEX proposed the health of the Marchioness of Hastings, and his' Lordship's family, in a complimentary speech to her Ladyship. The toast was received with enthusiasm. The Marquis of HASTINGS expressed his warmest and deepest gratitude. He did not believe any thing could have touched him more nearly than the praise they had bestowed on • his conduct in lndia_, but he confessed the last toast had gone more directlyto his heart.—(Cheers.) " Lord A.mheist, and the Indian Government," and " Sir Edward Paget, and the Indian Army," were then successively giVen by, the Chairman ; after which he resigned the reinainder 'of the:Masts to the Vice-President, who, with appropriate ad. dresses 'which we regret we cannot insert, introduced the fol •lOVving healths ". The Duke of Wellington." " Aiarquis ‘S v ellesrey." - "Sir Richard King." Sir Henry Blackwood." " Lord Bexley." . . . r' His LORDSHIP shortly returned thanks; The Noble Mar quir,:whoso.-Welcome they were met to celebrate, had extended the. power; !consolidated the empire, and exalted the character . • Lordllolland's health Was next proposed, anti received With very warm applauSe. Ms lioßrisiiip returned thanks in a witty speech; in which he colißlirnented . the Noble Marquis on his renovated health ond vigour, He .was the last, though not the least, of In dian coniverori. The first was commemofated for possessing immortal youth, and he had a warm and generous heart also, ' The healths of Lord Powis, the son of the immortal Clive, and Lord Harris, the conqueror Of Seringapitlam, clotted the evening: The Chairman, accompanied by the Duke of Sussex, Prince .Leopold,: and the Marquis of Hastings, withdrew at twelve o'clock, and was almost immediately folloVed by the remainder of , the company. An excellent band enlivened the evening h with appropriate airs, and sev e r a l g l ees a nd songs were g i ven r. with admirable effect. E* TIMES.] Cormli opened yesterday at 82.1. for die Ac. count, and closed at 81i. French Scrip, too, has fallen ;',; premium. The Paris prices in. dirate no real ground for this depression. In fact, we are quite satisfied that there is no ground whatever for the fall, except what exists in the disposition to believe in visionary dangers, and to give credit to prejudiced statements. The article in Saturday's Courier merely fired a train of alarms, which have been long in preparation at the Stock Exchange. The speculator's for a fall had wait. ed in vain for something like suss on the part of the Revotntionists ; and they eagerly caught at the expressions of The Courier, which were ex aggerated into a statement that the French were in full retreat from all extremities of the Penin sula to the line of the Ebro. Our contemporary indignantly repels the idea that article was intended to affect the Funds. We fully and un reservedly acquit him of any such intention ; but we could not help observing that the Funds were affected, and we did really apprehend that less candid writers would regard the effect as intentional.---)Ve by no means nished, to misrepresent the statement of our con temporary ; but we certainly did understand that he meant to say he had above a month ago hinted at the intention of the French to retire behind the Ebro. It turns ant that he mere)) , meant that there have been dissensions for above a month among the Spanish Royalists —a fact which we needed no " well-qualifit d" persons at Madrid to tell us. And truly, if this same individual (whoever he may be) had no greater news to communicate, we must be excused for thinking that his correspondence was not of any extraordinary value. LAW.

IN RE TRUSTEES Olb THE SURREY ROAD. Mr. WETHERELL, on the part of the trustees of certain estates, submitted that they were entitled to alms under the following cicumstances :—an Act of Parliament had been pass.. ed to enable the trustees of this road to purchase estates, and it provided that, in case the purchasers should offer the ven der; a larger sum than a Jury might ultimately award, the venders should pay the costs ; and if a Jury should deter. mine that the sum offered was less than they would award, then the costs should fall on the purchasers. In the present case the parties had not tendered any motley, but certain acts done by them amounted to the taking of an estate as a sum by agreement, and that being less than the value, the trustees were liable to costs. Mr. BELL contended that the Act of Parliament did not give this Court any jurisdicti, , n in the cause, which must be referred to the Magistrates.—The Cou /IT dismissed the petition.
