stronger than that proposed by the Honourable General. Mr. VT. Smyrt4 was for the qdrournment, and thought, ..while discussions Were pending, respect ing the formation of an Admiu;stration, those con cerned in them, wo'uld do well to withhold from the public eye all that it was not positively neces sary to disclose. Sir T. TuicroN Opposed the adjournment,. as though an ,administration might not be forme'd by to-morrow (Saturday), it was to be remembered, that by pcvsibility, one might, and, in that case, bp thought the Public Were entitled to the best and earliest informatioft on _the subject. With this feeling, he. thought, they ought not to adjourn ' over Saturday. TIERXiY wished to know if it was under stood that an address was to be moved on Mon day-without making any further inquiries Mr. S. WORTLEY conceived that must necessa rily depend upon circumstances. Mr. TIER-NEY did not mean to ask if an Address Was to be moved under any circumstances, as if for instance it should .be stated that an Admitii , stration was nearly formed, he should not then suppose such a motion necessary. If the House met under the same circumstanees as they had done that day, on Monday he wished to know, if it was not understood that some manifestation was to be made of the sense of the Mouse on the situ ation of the country General CfISCOMICE pledged himself to make his Motion on Monday, if something satisfactory on the subject was . not then stated to the House. Mr. CikLbRAFT consented, to the adjournment, in expectation that something would he done by Monday. What he should do on that day, must . , depend upon circumstances. The question was then put and carried. The Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned to Monday. sponsible persons. From his most gracious an s ta. theft Address; praying him to form a stroog Administration; they had hoped that one would have been soon . appointed ; but with re ieret they had to complain that that answer had net h , : en carried into effect. Of that through avbehe this had occurred, though to the •-House. Crinnions a subject of-deep regret, they had not sufficient information to enable them to advise his }loyal IlighneSs. The 11,ouse of Commons, the-ea:ore, hoped that he would exercise his law ful prerogative, and form an; dhninistration with out loss of time, and his faithful COMmonsavould efficiently support such Administration, and enable it -to carry otthewar with vigour, anxious to give effect to its measures abroad and at home, to bring the 'present arduous contest to a prosperous, issue. This Address, if it was the pleasure of the House, he would move now, or he would - propose it to-morrow• (Saturday), or on Monday.[The feelings of. theflonse seemed to he against the motion being made at that time, and yielding to what hoconeeived to be their wish, the Honour able General gave notice that he would move it -on llotidaY.] Mr. S. WORTLFY moveA, " That the House on its rising do adjourn to Monday." - Mr. MARTIN (of Galway), considering theprea sent state of the, country, would give the motion for an adjourement to Almeino his most decided regative. He wished to submit -it to the', Hon. General, (Geueral Gascoigne), whether it would not be better to appoint a Committee to draw up the proposed address, as much difference of ()pi nionmight arise on the -subject of wording it. Mr. W.:WYNNE opposed the adjournment to Monday. He thought it would be an unprece dented neglect of diity to adjourn over two days under circumstances like the present. Lord MILTON spoke on the same side, and hoped his Hon. Friend (Mr. S. .Wortley) would not -persist in his motion. S. WO RTL EY said, there were two evils to be apprehended. They might in the one case he thought guilty of .o.\ dereliction of duty, and on the other hand, there was a danger of their pro ceedings being marked with a degree of intemper ance inconsistent with their duty to the Prince and to the Poblic. From what had been inti mated in another place, lie wished more time to be given before they proceeded farther ; but if that day, and Saturday,. and Sunday, should pass overoWithout an Administration being formed, he thought itwould.be the duty of that House firmly to represent to the Prince the necessity of giviag the country a Government. Sir J. SEBRIGKT opposed the motion for an ad journment to Monday. Mr. Martana' (of Galway), !I ,gym what had fallen from Gentlemen opposite, thought something like blame seemed to be cast on.that person in the State whose duty it was to form an Administra tion. If it should appear to hint that biome at tached to the conduct of that illustrious Person age—(Here the:Hon. Member was called to order, and the charge was denied by the Opposition).— From what had fallen, from Gentlemen, it should seem they Were of opinion that all bad not been done to-form an Administration that aright have been done. A Right Hon. and Learned Gentle= man opposite had some days ago evinced great anxiety to answer certain questions which had been previously settled with another Honourable Member, the answers to which could give no in .formation to the House, as at that time no pro position had been made to him. Since that time, ite was understood that sonic propositions had been -made to him, and these, it was rumoured, had gene off, and gone off on what it was then attempted to - impress upon the House, was so sincerely denied to have properly any influence on the condoet of public men- a -on terms. He un-. derStood from public_ rumour, and they had a rinht •to go on rumour when they had nothing dae to go upon, that the treaty which had been on foot had gone off on terms touching the power to be givenfto individuals. Before he consented . to vote an PnidresS like that proposed, he should wish to know what were the terms- on which the treaty. had gone off? it was not for him to put any interrogatories on this subject a but if an llon.Meniber opposite would exert his persuasive powers, perhaps the Right` Hon. Gentleman plight be induced to giVe the information he desired to the House. Mr. S. \VoR rr.. - r said, the last speaker wronged him if he imagined that he had settled the ques tions he had asked with the Right Hon. Gentle man to whom they were put. Having made up his mind to ask certain questions of a Right Hon. Gentleman, lie had merely asked that Right Hon. Gentleman if he would answer them. Mr. PoNSONBY declared the statement of the Hon. Gentleman to be perfectlyacorrect. He had settled no questions with him, he had concerted no questions - with him, he had framed no ques tions with him_,' by his (Mr. Ponsonby's). desire, or with .hits consent. He had merely .called on him and said,—" I wish to.ask these.questions in the House of ,Commons, will you answer them ?" This he had said before sev,eralpersons on quite different business who happened then to be with him. He (Mr; P.), had replied, that he should' have no objection ; he should' answer in thf negative. He 'had said no more. . *Mr. H. LASCELLES was in favour of an ad's. jouvnment ,to Monday,. He, thought at present no blame could fail-1703e charged in any quarter, and hoped on such an occasion all party feelings would be forgotten. Mr. G. JOHN STONE thought the difficulties in the way of forming an , Administration would not • be removed by the AddresS ,to be, moved by the . Honourable General. After' a variety of observa tions on. the state of parties, he gave it as his opi , talon, ,that it would be avell to . discard all party :feelings, .and leave the. E-overeigen nn exercise his . duty. It would then he for them to give the new iMinisters q fair trial till the experiment of their ° talents had been He would give his sin . - eere support to any such Administration, sppport . ing it Qtut of office, or taking Office, according to circumstances: Mr. C. Sarru was in favour of on adjournment to Monday. If by ; that. time nothing. should be done, he should be for voting an Address munch LAW R EP( t ) I', COURT OF CHANCERY, Juxz 5. LORD JOIIN TOWNSEND V. TILE MOST NOBLE THE MARQUIS OF TOWNSEND Ni).A OTHERS. This was a Motion for a receiver, on behalf of: A plaintiff, made by Sir Samuel Romilly,.to re ceive the rents, issues and profits of some of the vast Estates,of the late Most Noble Marquis. of Townsend, which the testator had, in his life time, . vested in Mr. Smith, a banker, and Mr. Saunders, an eminent conveyancer, of Lincoln's Inn, as trustees to pay debts to the amount of hundred and twenty thousand pounds. The hill of the, plaintiff prayed a performance of the trusts of this deed, and of his father's will, to secure his claim; and the trueees of the' deed filed their Bill, pray ing to be exonerated wholly from the trusts, see ing the great difficulty of 'carrying them into ex ecution ; While Lord George Townsend, the se cond son, and next in reversion, filed a third Bill, to secure his expectancies and claims generally. - Mr. HART, against the Motion, prayed a sus pension of the order for ten days only, in order to chew that the last bill vVould supersede the pre ceeding, ones, and answer all purposes, since it would prevent the necessity of making forty four creditors parties to the proceedings, awl save other expences in such extensive concerns. The LORD CIIANCLLOR observed, that he was disposed to grant this indulgence to this Noble Family, to enable them to adopt the bill most reconomical for adjusting the matters in difference in such large concerns.. The order was suspended for ten days. This was an action of trespais brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, by which the plain tiff sought to recover damages from the defendant for taking a quantity of corn belonging to the plaintiff, as for toll-for cony said to have been sold by sample in the market at Worcester. Judgment had been entered for the defendant, and the plain tiff had removed it by Error into this Court. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD this day pronounced the judgment of the Court. from; a review of -the law of the case, from the earliest authorities clown to the present period, the Court was of opinion that a sale by sample was not a legal, contract for the sale of any thing whatever ; and that the lord, or superior of an open or public market, was not entitled to toll, or duty, on any commodities not brought in bulk into the market, and there dis posed of in open market. Supposing a person to have 1000 bushels of wheat which he intends for sale, but only fifty bushels of which he brings into the market and sells, that could never be construed to amount to a sale,in open market of the whole 1000 bushels, but of the fifty bushels only. A sale by sample, it had been held by Lord Coke, and by other great Law Authorities, was illegal ; such a sale was directly against the original prin ciple and object for which a market was ap pointed. It was directly , against' the whole spirit of the laW relating to the origin of markets. It was, therefore, ordered, that the verdict for the Defendant be reversed, and that it be sent back to the Court below to order an in quiry into the amount of damages to which the Plaintiff was entitled for the trespass committed against him in taking of his corn.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 5. Mr. MOORE moved for leave to file a Criminal Information against a Mr. Bailey, a Gentleman in the Army, for provoking a Clergyman of the name of Clapp, to a breacil of the peace. The affidavit stated, that Mr. Bailey had sent a cer tificate, on behalf of his sister, for Mr. Clapp to sign, with the dates in blank. Mr. Clapp re fused to sign it, and the next time Mr. Bailey met Mr. Clapp, he abused him in the streets of Bath with most opprobrious language, and de sired him to lay aside his gown and assume the character of a gentleman for a short time, when he should be glad to adjust matters with him. The Court expressed some doubt, but at length granted the Rule Nisi, that the party might re deem themselves by explanation. COURT OF EXCHEQUER CH4MDERSI JUNE 5. HILL V. SMITH, IN ERROR.

That a tempo rary school had been opened some time since in Holborn, for the reception of a limited number of children, till a grand central school should have been prepared; and- all the buildings, &c. necessary for that purpose were completed. That in the space of a fortnight, this grand central school, situated in Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's-inn-lane, would be opened for the reception of 1000. children, viz. 600 boys, and .400 girls ; the ground having been' purchased, and the buildings erected at the ex pence of the Society.

Smith, passed through this town from . Lewes, for Hithe, for the purpose; of practising with shot and shells, at a target, on the beach, nearly fronting that place. During their practice, an unexpected accident occurred , but, providentially, not a fatal one, though the con sequences of it are far from trifling. Several of the, Shrapnell shells, loaded with musket bullets, it appears, which were not intended for use that days had been fixed, in boxes, to the carriages of the field pieces, for the inspection, of the 'General ; and to one of these boxes, containing four s hells, a spark by some unfortunate.. means, found its way, when three of the fold- shells were. presently exploded, and their destructive contents dispersed in all directions. Major-General Ham mond had his lip cut throngh, but the wound i 5 not considered ,of much consequence . ; 'Leutenast T. Blaker, of the Lo'cal Militia was stunned by a ,fragment of the gun-carriage striking him on die back part of the head ; and two of -tilt artillery men, subordinates, were so severely hurt, the one about the knee, and the other in the leg, thoussh neither had . any liones broker:, that they We re ground conveyed from the in the carriage of I .‘ l- * W.
