MONEY MARKET and BANK of ENGLAND REFORM. This day was published, price 35., Second Edition with Additions, ALETTER, to the Right Honourable Lord Vis count MELBOURNE, on the CAUSES of the RECENT DERANGEMENT in the MONEY MARKET, and on BANK REFORM. By R. TOR RENS, Esq., F. R. S. Second Edition with Additions. London : Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, Pater noster-row.-1837. ADVERTISEMENT TO THE SECOND EDITION. The manner in which Bank deposits extend the medium of ex change having excited considerable attention, I have in this edition reprinted, from Mr. Tooke's first letter to Lord Grenville, the paper in vs lich Mr. Pennington first propounded the principles that deposits perform the fuitctions of money, and that a given amount of cash may serve as the basis of a much larger amount of deposits. Mr. Pennington has favoured me with a more recent paper, ex plaining in detail the operation of these principles. This paper, which is printed in the Appendix, will be read with interest by all whose pursuits, whether of business or science, lead them to ob serve the fluctuations of the Money Market. HAMI3I3IIGH, JAN. 10, 1537. ALL those who may have to write to us are re queL,ted to direct HEINE BROTHERS: in HAMBURGII, which is perfectly sufTicient for the address, and letters directed in that way will reach us just as well as if directed, HEINE BROTHERS, BANKERS, in HAMBURG. Neither the deno mination of BANKERS, or any other, is required, and letters directed, HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGIT. will do without any further remark or description. We further request to observe, that a letter with one enclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inelosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., '2Ol , or 301., fir instance, if remitted in One Rank of Eng land Note would only cause thitilile Postage, but 10!. 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 burg;►, to forwar 1 the amount in One Note, or one Bank Post Bill or Cheque ; or having to receive Money trum Hamt.urgh, to receive the same in the same way, whenever possible. As to re anittanees from llamburgli to England for large Sums, amounting to many THOUSANDS, of course they may rather be remitted in Bills of Exchange. All those giving orders for any Branch of our multifarious Business, that must be executed before FEBRUARY, are advised to lose no time in forwarding the same. HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURG.

A correspondent wishes to know why, in recom mending so many remedies for the miseries that afflict Ireland, we do not suggest the establishment of Agri cultural Societies for the encouragement of the cultiva tion of wastes, and the improvement of the breed of cattle, after the plan of those Societies which have effected such wonderful improvements in the soil and domestic animals of England and Scotland ? We can only answer this question by saying, that hitherto we considered the recommendation of any such scheme as utterly useless. The very elements of social improve ment were wanting in Ireland till within the last seven years. The great bulk of the people were, politically speaking, no better than serfs, toiling for the aggran disement of a hostile absentee aristocracy. The Church was alien in doctrine, in origin, and in sym pathy ; and bigotry and intolerance were alone deputed to occupy the judgment seat.

Even Magna Charta itself is hut a humiliating proof that the mass of the people. were in slavery at the time it was granted to the barons, and for the barons, who then as now considered themselves " the people." They had their claims allowed then ; but now we are twenty-five millions against one hundred and seventy individuals.

The task of returning thanks for the honour done to " the order," devolved on the last thing in the shape of a Peer that was pitchforked .into the House of Lords by the WEL tNcToN Administration—a rene gade creature of the name of BARING—who said that the Peerage was " accessible to all classes of .his MA JESTY'S subjects."

The Mayor, THOMAS BIiIOHTWELL, Esq„ took the Chair; and, 44140,01 notice had been published only on the previous Haturtlay, it was one of the most numerous and respectable Meet ings ever held in the city. Its proceedings were con ducted with absolute unanimity, 4lld reolqtions were adopted, expressing the decided and uncompfornising opinions which the Dissenters, and many of the Church's most valuable adherents, hold on this im portant subject. We eongratnl44: my 1... f 0r4 op this qnswer to his eharge, delivered. on the noted trial of the St. Pancras 044;Tb-rate rf.PLISMIt3, when he teak to harangue the Jury RP the blessings of Ohutch-rates in general, and the of resisting them in particular. While his Lordship represented Norwich, he had agaden tvinions from all sorts of men," and so obtained a close aeuai►ii►ancc with the feelings of his constituents. He is doubtless aware that, until lately, there existod hi that city a remarkable de gree of apathy on this subject of Church-rates ; and his son, the present representative, ca n i n , struct him how so marvellous a change has been brought about, that a public Meeting Can at short notice be got up in the Guildhall, with the Mayor for Chairman, and comprehending large numbers and great respectability, at which bold resolutions are passed in favour of a total abolition of Church-rates. uoyp's stuppiNG.—(Ttm nAy.)

This salutary change, his Lordship may assure himself, has been effected by the agitation he would so fain put down ; and especially by the efforts of those who have exhibited the hateful law in full operation, and demonstrated to Dissenters what spirit actuates the upholders of the iniquity. The Paris Journals of Thursday contain no politi cal news of importance. In the Chamber of Depu ties, Ministers brought forward two new projects of laws—the one demanding a credit of 150,000 francs to enable the Government to render more efficacious the blockade established on the Pyrenees, so as to pre vent the possibility of supplies being illicitly conveyed to the Carlists ; and the other to claim an appanage for the Duke of NEMOURS, and a marriage dower for the Queen of the BELGIANS. The maintenance of the Royal family will prove no trifling expense to the na tion. For the appanage of the Duke of NEMOURS, the incomes arising from the extensive domains of Rambouillet, the forests of Senauches, of Chateau neuf, and of Monticoult, are demanded—producing, according to M. MOLE, a clear income over and above all charges, of something more than 20,0001. sterling per annum. These extensive and rich domains can be made to produce more than double that sum. For the dowry of the Queen of the BELGIANS 40,0001. ster ling per annum is demanded. There still remain a host of Princes and Princesses to be provided for—so that at this rate France will scarcely be large enough to supply them all with appanages. The KING and his Ministers arc daily becoming more and more unpopular. On Wednesday an indi vidual was seized in a closet in the Chateau, where he had concealed himself, with the intention, as was pre sumed, of killing the KING. His MAJESTY was in the habit of passing through the closet in which the man was found concealed, and there were circum stances connected with his apprehension which con firmed the suspicions of the inmates of the Palace, re specting the sinister nature of his intentions. He was instantly conveyed to prison. The Opposition Journals, one and all, loudly con demn the project of a law prepared by M. PERSIL, for the punishment of all persons who decline to make the police acquainted with plots against the safety of the K 'NG'S person. This Act revives one of the worst laws of the Restoration. The attempt to convert the whole people of France into a pack of spies and in formers is deserving of universal execration. The law is worthy of PERSIL, who is one of the most danger ous Ministers that ever held the seals of office in France. The Mars, Dunlen, from Newcastle to London, was wrecked on the Gunfleet Sands yesterday. The Thomas was driven on shore near Harwich yesterday— abandoned.

Our arrivals this morning are the French, Dutch, and Ham burg mails, with ship-letters from Mauritius of the 13th August, and from the Cape of Good Hope of the 15th Noy. 'the Bank Directors were again in deliberation yesterday, but no result took place. There was a great scarcity of stock during the whole of yesterday, it being the day fixed for the payment of the temporary advances made by the Bank, which was effected without inconvenience to the parties who had to pay them. The bill broker who stopped payment yesterday had an inte rest in two or three country banks, who have either stopped payment, or will be compelled to do so, in consequence of the event. At all events, the difficulties of the house have not created much alarm on 'Change, or in the City, and it is not supposed the failure will be attended with much farther incon venience. TUE PUNDS.

We have received a Spanish paper, the Espanol, to the 19th inst., in which it is stated that a person of the name of Minaval having been arrested in Valencia as a Carlist, and his house having been searched, the following papers, besides two proclamations of Don Carlos, were found secreted there : A copy of a convention signed by the Northern Powers to place Don Carlos on the throne of Spain, Don Miguel on that of Portugal, and Henry the Fifth on that of France, through the intervention of the same Powers by a large armed force. A copy of another convention made in London by the re presentatives of the above powers for establishing the pensions toibe allowed during their exile to the Queens, Donna Maria Christina, Donna Maria de Gloria, and to the King of July, Louis Philippe. For the rumours afloat in Pads we refer to our ex tracts from the Journals. PARIS, JAN. 26.—VISCOUNT RA NELAGII AT BAYONNE. —THE FOREIGN LEGION OF DON CA lt LOS.—.-A letter from Bayonne, addressed to the Indicate-lir r f Be: deaux, says that Lord Ranelagh, who is now in that city, by no means intends, any more then his travelling companions, to quit the service of Don Carlos,; and it is surprised at the pro tection which he has received from the English Consul against the order which was going to be given him to re move into the interiOr,of France, as is usually done with persons who arrive from,.the head-quarters of Don Carlos. " Ti,e Pretender," says this letter, " has just issued a decree for the organisation of a Foreign Legion, and the officer intended to command is precisely Lord Ranelagh ; Colonel Brette, formerly aide-de-cAlop to the Duke of Wellington, is to command the Artillery. Lord Ranelagli and Mr. Humphrey, are commissioned to .enlist and orga nise the troops. These officers are to act. in concert with - the Directing Committees in France and England, to invite English, French, Prussian; Italian, and Neapolitan officers on half-pay, especially those who have retired since l 8:30, to engage in the Legion. Officers and privates from the English and French Legions will also be admitted. " One of the articles of the Decree is, that the new legion shall not combat against the English flag, and that prisoners shall be respected. You will see now that it is by the French frontier that the men and the effects neces sary to form this corps will pass, as is the case with every thing that the Carlists require to subsist, clothe, and arm : but for this, the faction would have been long since annihilated. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, so} 4. The remains of Lord Audley were interred in the family vault of the parish church of Melksham,on Tuesday last, with great privacy. The reports that the present Lord conies into possession of the estates at Sandridge, in Wiltshire, belonging to his late grandfather, his father having sold his life interest therein, is incorrect. The estates were sold about 20 years ago by the late Lord, who barred the entail. We regret to state that the Countess of Essex is dangerously indisposed. Her Ladyship has long been a sufferer from a dropsical affection of the chest ; hence the present dreadful epidemic has visited her with increased severity. The Viscomtcsse d'Anchald, the adopted daugh ter of Lady Essex, is unremitting in her attendance on her patroness. The Right Hon. S. R. Lushington is at present suffering under the effects of the prevailing epidemic, at his seat in Kent. Died at his residence in Bath, on Friday, Jan. 20, after a long illness, Sir Patrick Doherty, C. 8., K.C.H., for many years Colonel of the 13th Light Dragoons, in which regiment he served upwards of 35 years, and during which period he was engaged in much active service. " All kinds of provisions, linen, cloth, leather, brandy, &c., are openly sent ; and as for arms, powder, lead, and salt petre, the exportation of which is prohibited, how do you suppose that the frontier can be guarded with so small an establishment of Custom-house officers or gendarmes, that at the most only two men can be stationed, at intervals of half a league, in a straight line." If this is the manner in which the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance is to be executed on the part of France, the cause of the Queen gains little or nothing by it, and it might as well not exist. The facts which I mention in this letter, and the authenticity of which I will answer for, will give all persons of good faith ground for melancholy reflection. The Constitution/re/ of this morning (26) contains the following paragraph of a letter from its correspondent at Madrid, which it publishes (as it says), because it realizes the prediction of MM. niers and Passy in the debate on the address : The Duke of Beaufort is not expected in Park place, from Badminton Park, until Monday next. Lord Alvanley's late residence in Park-place has been taken by the Noble and Gallant Duke, in addition to his present mansion. Lord Milton has arrived at Malton, from Milton Park, to attend his election for that borough. His Lordship having attained his majority is qualified to sit in Parliament. _ . Sir Robert Gordon has arrived at Chatsworth, where he will visit the Duke of Devonshire, on his way to town. The Right Hon. Gentleman is expected to remain at the Clarendon. The Duke of St. Alban's arrived in town to-day, in order to attend the Ministerial dinner, to be given by Viscount Melbourne on "Monday next, to several leading members of the Aristocracy, to meet the present Ministers. Sir Richard Vaughan has been appointed Ambas sador at. Constantinople, in lieu of Lord Ponsonby, who is coming home. EVERY AGE GETS WISER AND WISER.--A certain Lord now dead (of course nameless) was so de lighted with Punch at a country fair, that he bought him for the amusement of his family and friends ; but to his great astonishment, under his Lordship's care, Punch would not speak ; but now the Chandos Lord, by his apt 501. clause, has made Punches of all farm tenants ; they are. ordered to ride, walk, or meet the steward at the polling-booth. They are poked up, Punch-like, and the Steward at their heels speaks for them, " I conclude with an important piece of intelligence which I have just learnt. I give it without note or comment—such facts speak for themselves. M. Villiers, the able represen tative of England, has in his hands a treaty of commerce be tween Great Britain and Spain, which he has not ventiired to publish yet, but which, and undoubtedly will be, pub lished, if the French Chamber of Deputies decides against intervention. Of course this treaty is highly favou ra bl e to the interest of England, and the prejudice of that of France. Will France have a right to complain of it ? Happily the manufacturers of Catalonia will in this instance be of the same opinion as France, for this treaty, if carried into ef fect, will ruin all their manufactures. The Eclaiteur of Toulon says that the Malouine, Government brig, had just arrived there from Tripoli, which it left on the 10th of pockets crammed with tithes wrung from Catholics, thundered anathemas against the growth of Popery ; and politicians, too weak, or too wicked, to render tistice to their fellow-subjects, pretended that, as Ire land and Popery were synonimous terms, the best way to repress the one was by oppressing other. The cries ~f the Irish people were feigned by the 13EttEsFoilDs, the Rout!:Ns, the FA aNitAms, and the WteK of past days, to be,mistaken for the groans of expiring Popery. Every wretch who could be brought to re• iionnee faith for gain, whether in the shape of money or preferment, was ostentatiously paraded, be fore the eyes of the British people, as " a brand snat ched from the burning." A state of things so unna tural rendered every plan for the improvement of the the country impossible. No society could contrive to wear an appearance that would induce the jarring sects to regard it as strictly impartial, and the slightest idea of partiality would have been fatal to its operations. The Catholic Emancipation Bill ha:.;, however, called the elements of a sound social fabric into existence ; and were - that measure followed up, as eventually it must be, by the abolition of tithes, and all compulsory imposts,. for the maintenance of a creed hostile to the feelings of the people, we doubt not but Agricultural Societies, as enterprising as those of England and Scotland, would soon establish themselves in every part of Ireland. But though the establishment of Farming Societies in Ireland is at present rather to be desired than ex pected, much might be done were rich personages among the landed aristocracy to set the example to Irish 2dlords in general, by commencing the improve ment of all wash !ands upon their estates, and by en couraging their tenantry 1‘:: rival one another in the excellence of the breed of their caLle. This would cost them nothing but the outlay of a trifle or , at first, to be repaid them in the course of a very few years with an enormous interest. The country would not remain indifferent to exertions so truly laudable ; and every landlord would in time find himself com pelled, as it were, to imitate, to the best of his ability, a plan of national improvement, commenced under the auspices of a voluntary and disinterested patriotism. There is already an Irish Waste Land Improve ment Society established in London ; and, therefore, the plan of establishing a Society for encouraging the rearing of cattle, and the growth of agricultural pro duce is perfectly, practicable. Some such institution, fostered by the landlords, is wanted, to teach and en encourage the people to cultivate their farms, which at present do not produce half the crops that might be raised upon them. With the exception of a few counties in the north of Ireland, it may be asserted that the whole island wears the aspect of a land in which agriculture, as a science, is wholly unknown. A scanty crop is often all that is raised on lands ca pable of producing two and three crops of the very best quality, and each doubly more abundant in quan tity than the one which is now the sole reward of the husbandman's toils. Harvest and winter crops, so common in England and Scotland, and so productive a source of revenue to the farmer, are almost unknown in Ireland. When the fields of flax are pulled, the corn reaped, and the potatoes dug, instead of sowing them with mangel-wurzel, turnips, and clover seeds, for the feeding of cattle during the approaching winter, the fences are pulled down, and cows, horses, and sheep are driven into them. This not only destroys all chance of after-crops, but renders the soil less fruitful for the future. Should rains fall abundantly in the winter months, the fields of loose earth, trodden by the cattle, wear all the appearance of impassable swamps, and as there are seldom drains to carry off the water, the spring season is often far advanced before they are in a state to admit of plough labour. Agricultural Societies would unquestionably do much in the way of improving the habits of the Irish labourers in these respects ; but lasting and general good can only be obtained by giving them free institu tions, and a permanent interest in the soil. At pre sent they feel that they are condemned to toil from year to year, to maintain persons in affluence, who are either ignorant of, or indifferent to the fact of their very existence ; and the insecurity of their tenures af fords them no protection from the avarice of grasping agents, and middle-men, ever ready to seize upon whatever the land produces over and above what is barely necessary for the animal support of the culti vator. So excessive is the avarice of Irish landlords, that not one in ten of them will grant a lease, in order that they may be always in a condition to pounce upon the produce of every improvement mad:: upon their estates. 'Till this evil be remedied, we fear that but little good will result from recommending an improved system of agriculture to the Irish farmer. His answer to such recommendations will naturally be—" Where fore should I treble crops from which I can hope to derive neither praise nor profit ? The pittance I now enjoy is all the landlord would leave me, did the ground yield ten times the agricultural produce it does at pre sent ? Give me an assurance that the surplus pro duce, resulting from increased diligence and skill, shall not be taken out of the mouths of my children to swell the rental of a landlord, whose face I never see, and to fill the pockets of a priest, whose religion con sists in scaling at, and calumniating mine ; and I will work the skin off my bones rather than continue in the wretched state in which I now am. But miserable as I am, I entertain too lively a sense of my wrongs, and of what is due to me as a member of society, to work: without a motive." In the way, therefore, pointed out by our correspondent, little or nothing can be done without the active co-operation of the landlords. They must sanction and encourage such a system of national improvement to render it productive of general happi ness. Without protection the people will not improve their lands ; and that protection, no Society, not corn posed principally of great landowners, can possibly afford them. How many landlords, possessing each a thousand acres of land in Ireland, will come forward as members of a Royal Irish Agricultural Society ? Will fifty ? Will forty ? Will twenty ? Will even ten ? If there be but ten such patriots found among the landed aristocracy of the sister kingdom, we shall hate plea sure in giving the infant institution all the support of which we are capable. Some of the most hot-headed of the Tory faction in the northern parts of Hampshire met together at Winchester yesterday for the purpose, it would seem, of proving to the world that they are no wiser than the Tories of other counties. • We think this might have been safely taken for granted, without the demonstration afforded by the blow-out of last night. It is 'now, however, put beyond all reason able question. Indeed, we should not consider ourselves guilty of any very culpable exaggeration, were we to say that the evidence produced at this Meeting goes the full length of proving that the Hamp shire Tories surpass all other animals of the same species in folly, as much as Hampshire hogs excel all others in fatness. Sir W. HEATIICOTE was at the bead of this motley assemblage of dunder-headed squires, squire -bound tenants at will, chaw-bacons, and pig-drivers. Hail fellow, well met! was the order of the day, and all seemed to be of one mind with the Chairman, that " motley's the only wear." As a matter cf course " the House of Lords" was one of the toasts given from the Chair, and in the non sensical twaddle with which the Chairman preluded it, he hit upon the bright discovery that in " ancient times the Peers had stood up for the infant liberties of the country," an assertion as much opposed to the truth as anything can be.

CLARKE AND 01111 s, Mr. Sergeant WILDE obt;iined a rule in this a ate, on a former day, calling upon the plaintiffs, who are ottornies, to show cause why their bill of costs should nut U . > 'referred to the Prothono tary of this Court to bi: faxed, /and Mr. Butt appeared to-day, to show against this rule. The facts were shortly these plaintiffs were employed by the de fendanta to carry on an action of ejectment, and also to draw up a deed of conveyance, The delendimts advanced a sum of 1001. to cuable the plaintiffs to bring the action. Two sepaiaW suites of 201. each were returned, leaving a sum of 01. in the plaintiffs' hands. The action of ejectment Was brought in the Court of King's Bench; but the bill had not yet been taxed. The action was subsequently brought by the plaintiffs in this Court to recover the sum of 28/., being the amount of the expenses of a conveyance executed for the de fendants. It was now contended on the pert of the defendants that the sum of 60/. paid by thorn to the plaintiffs was more than sufficient to pay toe plaintiffs' bill, after it should have been ;a4atlior With the amount of the conveyance far which the action was brought in this Court ; and they therefore ob tained a rule, calling upon the plaintiff* tp,*lLmi cause why the bill of costs for the action in the (_IP itiing's Bench should not be taxed previo'olx the present action being brought. It was aii4 ll ,E4 'Otis TOO that cause was shown to-day. ocwv. directed the action in this Court to be sua pi•wled, in order that the parties might have an opl;;; 4 •tonity of going before the Master, to tax the costs. a the action of ejectment in the Court of King's 11,0.001. KTlNq' . 43i NCH.-(THIS DAY.) (iiiiirkip in BanCO.) KiNQ - ti - 1 1 (0ft iNTD BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGI OF OXFOhD. In this case a rule had been obtained, callin z i peso the Aldermen and Burgesses of the borough el Oxford to show cause why a mandawus should not issue, directed to them, and requiring them to receive Mr. John Towne into the place 4", d ouice of a Councillor of the said borough. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now appeared to show cads° against the rule. The facts, which were hriehy as follows, were not disputed :---Mr. John Tcwue was elected a Coun cillor in January, lB3d--41to city was divided into five wards, and there IMP - five Councillors for each ward. M v , T owne would have been entitled if he had remained defy qualified to serve as Councillor until Nov., lµ tip, was on the burgess list when elected in 18.1 t, and 1:19, oi*e.tiOP, WAS then made to him, but when the lit'Ats wevorttede up in September his name was not upon the list. it was nCit rcturned by the overseer to the Olerit---it was oat upon the list that was stuck up under the provisiena e? the Act of Parliament ; he made no elaim ; the revision took place on the 4th of October, tend the list was finally made up without Mr. Towne , a name being included in it. The Mayor, Mr. Metier, acaordingly published a notice for the dectigil of t too C3ouncillors for the south ward, in the vi, o rn ei the two who went out by rotation, and a third in the room of Mr. Towne. The election took Nov. 1, and Mr. Day was elected in the room of Mr. Towne. In the present case he was happy to ;a e rie their Lordships there was no patited feeling or any party prejudices, and they should Itwie nothing of Conservatives or Liberals, and the point relied upon by his Learned Friend on the othott aide was, that although Mr. Towne was not in the burgess-roll, he was entitled to be epon it i that he had never forfeited his right to be a Coun cillor, and that he has continued to be QUO from the time of the election in 15`44 to the present. When the present Mayor C4IIIP lgtp Ace in November he found the CotiPilil 4114 Mr. Towne having presented him self, and claimed a right to vote, the Ma or naturally refused to allow him, the full nomte e of Councillors being already present. Under these circumstances Mr. Towne came to that Court, and applied for a mandamus. Now he (the AttGrney-General) submitted that Mr. Towne had ceased to be eligible to be elected a Councillor,.---that Mr. Day's elec tion had been regular and legal, and therefore he was not On: titled to the rule prayed for. The Learned Counsel here re ferred to the several sections of the Act whinh bore upon the present point, and concluded by praying that the rule might be discharged. Mr. Amos followed on the same side. Mr. BINGHAM was heard in support of the rule. His argu ments were chiefly directed to show that Mr. Towne had never ceased to be a councillor, and therefore the election of Mr. Day was void. .Mr. Justice WILLIAMS observed that the arguments of the Learned Counsel in support of the rule were directed to show that the party applying was actually in the office at the present time, and if that were so, there was no necessity for the present rule, which therefore must be discharged.—Rule discharged. BAIL COURT. THE KING V. THE MASTER AND FELLOWS OF PETERHOCSE COLLEGE, CASIDRIDGE. Mr. WORTLEY said the Court might recollect that in this case he obtained some time ago a rule for a mandamus, calling upon the defendants to admit a certain person to a Fellowship of the College then vacant. Upon this the nominee of the patron, on whose behalf he moved, went down to Cambridge and served the order on the Master, who said there was no objection to admit him ; but it was proposed to examine him generally in every branch of literature and science. He did not wish to submit to this condition—he returned to town and gave back the writ of mandamus to the Patron. The College said there would be no advantage taken of this, and they of fered to .admit any other person properly qualified, who should be presented•to them. A new candidate, an A.B. of Oxford, was accordingly found ; but upon goinr , down he was informed that there was a counter claimant, who had obtained a rule Nisi fora mandamus to admit him. The present application was to change the name in the first mandamus, and have the question of right tried when cause was shown in the other Court. Mr. Justice PATTESON said he would be unwilling to change the name in the writ in the absence of other parties, but he should grant a rule Nisi for a new mandamus. Mr. WORTLEY said that would be the more expensive mode of proceeding : however, he would take the rule. His Loansnir then proceeded to try undefended causes at Nisi Prius. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) EX PARTE PERRIN. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT moved for a rule, calling upon the Attorney-General to come in and show cause why a petition of right in the above case should not be put on the files of the Court ; and that he should either admit or deny its allega tions. The Learned Gentleman said Mr. Perrin had found out a very important improvement in making anchors, for which he applied for and obtained a patent ; but as the im provement was one very likely to be of service to the King, a clause was inserted in the patent which was not usually found in- them—it 'was to the effect, that Mr. Perrin should supply the various dockyards with anchors, the remuneration for which was to be settled by the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty. The improved anchors were much approved of and extensively used in the service ; but instead cf making the anchors, at the request of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, Mr. Perrin went to the several dock-yards, and instructed the officers in the making of the improved anchors. For so doing Mr. Perrin applied to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to fix what compensation he was entitled to for so doing. They used his patent very extensively after he had so instructed their own men in the making, but they re fused to make any compensation to Mr. Perrin ; and upon the ground that because he had been a clerk in the Navy Office, and had served the full time that was requi site according to the Act of Parliament, he was super annuated upon a pension. The Lords Commissioners therefore thought his whole time and talent was at the service of the Crown. He ( Sir William Follett) made a motion in the King's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Lords Commis sioners to award compensation, but the Court had decided, an d be thought very properly, that as they were the servants of the King, and acting for him, the King, through his Bench, could not order them to do any certain thing. There was, then, no other course left to Mr. Perrin than to present a petition of right, which under our laws every subject had a right to do. Mr. Perrin presented a petition, which y onehad been signed by his Majesty , and countersigned by of the principal Secretaries of State. The course, then, to be pursued, was to have that petition put upon the file of any Court, and to serve a rule upon the At torney- General, who would then come in and either admit the facts of the petition, in which ease the Court would settle upon the point of law between the parties, or he would deny them, in which event it would become the duty of the Court to order an inquisition. He had not had time to look into the autho rities upon the subject ; but his learned friend Mr. Watson, who was with him, had done so, and he found the practice to be as he had stated it.—Rule granted. Lord Canterbury is daily expected to arrive in town from Paris, to attend the meeting of Parliament. His Lordship will sojourn in the first instance at an hotel.

This will prove a highly valuable work.—Brighton Gazette. FINE ARTS. BRITISH INSTITUTION.—(TIIIS DAY.) We were favoured with a private view of this-Ex hibition this morning, which contains, as usual, many able, and some first-rate pictures. Foremost among the latter is " The Battle of Trafalgar," (No. 375), which is the produHon of Mr. Huggins, and has, we understand, been painted by express command of Majesty. It is a fine work, with l!reat depth of colour, but is rather too n - Arnotonous in its effect. The time represented is just at the close of the battle. The vessels are seen rolling in a heavy, gradual swell.of the sea ; some are little better than mere- wrecks, and all show symptoms of a dreadful conflict, by their ‘ tat tered sails, which hang in ribbands to the Mast; and the evident disorder that prevails throughout the fleet. A little more variety of effect—though we are aware of the difficulty of giving variety to marine paintings—would have greatly improved the picture. In this instance, the artist might have taken a hint from Stanfield. An " Interior with Fish", (41), by Cooke, is a hold, vigorous production. Too fish are painted with a force and skill worthy of Land seer. " Delinda's Toilette" (43), is by Partridge. Parts of it are excellent, especially the atta . tude and drapery of the principal figure, which fully realizes; Pope's elaborate description. In the " Interview be tween Charles the First and Oliver Cromwell" (59), by IVlaclise, the figure and face of the Protector are pourtrayed with great vivacity. We miss, however, the ratieund proboscis of " red-nosed Noll," for wh;,ch Ihistory tells us he wa s notor i ous . " Greenwich, "Pen sioners commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar, in Greenwich 'ark" (112), does great credit to the artist, I.ktri Burnett. The principal figures, we are assured, are portraits of men who served with Nelson, and are now pensioners ; anti we should supp ose s o, for they are full of character, and bear evident tokens of having been sketched from the life. The back ground is skilfully developed, and the grouping in the fore-ground teems with variety. " Regulus" (120), is one of Turner's extraordinary productions, as any one may perceive, even at the first glance. The colouring is effective, though somewhat fantastic, and certainly like nothing we have seen iu lif e ; it is, in truth, a serious and premeditated cari cature of nature. The landscape is seen through a silver mist, as through a light gauze curtain, and conveys such an idea of intolerable sultri ness, as almost puts one into a perspiration to look at it. The " Smuggler" (172) by Parker, is forcibly coloured, but the figure is made too startling and pro minent. The best part about it are the hands, with which great pains have been taken. The " Dairy Door" (196) by Lance, contains the head of a cow, which shows that the artist has studied Paul P o tter with attention. " Ruins of a Fountain" (207) i s in Chalon's most graceful and poetic manner. It is finely felt, and conveys a vivid idea of solitude and desolation, enhanced by the gathering shadows of evening. " Cupid chasing a Butterfly" (No. 243), by Salter, is as graceful a little gem as we have met with for some time. The young God floats in air, light and buoyant as gossamer ; he is not a heavy, dead mass of flesh, as too many of our chubby C u pids are, but is of true etherial fashion. His wild, flash' lug, earnest eyes, too, are instinct with divinity ; a nd his wing utterly devoid of any thing like pedantic stiff ness. The colouring of this picture throughout is rich and glowing, but never exaggerated. " Temprania, the Match-maker" (No. 335), is the production of Clater. The subject is taken from a well-known Essay in the Spectator, and is archly and skill fully treated, though the countenance of th e co quette is, we think, a little out of drawing. The drapery is most happily finished, the satin having that rich, silky gloss, which we admire so much in some of Lawrence's pictures. " Macbeth and the Weird Sisters" (344) is clever, but there is too much of the grotesque in some of the faces ,of. the witches ; they are overdone. " Florentine Children" (400)1 by Salter, is a chaste, sober bit of colouring ; the countenances of the boys are full of animation, like one of Murillo's Spanish boys ; and their attitudes re' markable for ease and simplicity. Taken as a whole this is one of the most successful paintings in the exhi' bition ; and proves that the artist is familar with, and has studied hard and long, in the school of the oh' masters. The " Death of Cardinal Wolsey" (358) is clever; but we have seen better from the pencil of Ste' plianoff. We have given but a hasty notice of this exhibition, for space and time compel us to abridge our remarks ; but possibly, at some more leisure oppor tunity, we may be tempted to return to the subject. MANUSCRIPT NEWSPAPER.—TIIC Swabian Met' cury states, that a manuscript journal, in the Iliangaria° language, has been long published at Pesth.

Accounts from Gallicia state that in the beginning ' of the present month the chol era was raging with grew . violence in that province, and that it had re-appeared ig 3 Poland. It is with heartfelt satisfaction that we hail a de' crease in that stigma on our humanity, the number o f our executions. From 1820 to 1824, or during Tory a seery dancy, there were executed no less than 362 persons, being on an average 90 per annum. From 1824 to 1828, O r during the Tory decline, the number fell to 229, or .50 Pe r 'annum. It continued at the same rate till their e xpulsio n from office.
