GVNTLEMEN, QIR FRANCIS BURDETT h as re d eeme d both his pre - raises. The Writ has been moved for this afternoon, and Iv: himself has arrived, for the purpose of refuting the calumnies iof his opponents, and strengthening the hands of his friends. Sir FRANCIS will embrace the earliest opportunity to address You, both personally and in writing-. He is most anxious to state fully and plainly his sentiments on every subject of public interest, without ambiguity or reservation. He has nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to conceal. Of the other Candidate who has offered himself to your notice, and of the Gentlemen who support him, neither Sir FRANCIS nor his Committee -wish to speak in terms of asperity or disparage ment. But on the opinions promulgated of late at certain Public Meetings, we call upon you, Electors, dispassionately to sit in judgment, and to consider whether, if carried into effect, they would not tend to subvert the balance of our glorious Constitution, to endanger the safety of property, to- substitute anarchy for order, aiv expose to peril the stability of the Church. Electors, these are not the sentiments expressed, the designs entertained, or the results anticipated by the staunch and Constitu • tional Reformers of earlier days. Such Reformers are the very persons who arc, in duty and in honour, called upon at this junc ture 'to stem the torrent of reckless and destructive innovation, and consistently to oppose the perilous experiments which they were formerly amongst the foremost to repudiate and to resist. Electors ! can any man point out an abuse which Sir Francis Burdett has advocated—an injustice at 'which he has connived—a useful measure against which he has set his face—an act of oppres sion against which he has not protested--a sacrifice which he has not unhesitatingly made iu the cause of rational liberty ? Be not, then, deluded by specious promises or artful misrepresentations ; come forward manfully, to ensure the return of one whom you have so long respected and cherished as the advocate and guardian of your rights. In the name of the Central Committee, GEORGE SINCLAIR, Chairman. Ship Hotel, May 3, 1837. - - The publication of TUE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 15 minutes past Three o' Clock. - t 4, , t 1 fll l LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1837. In the House of Lords yesterday their Lordships merely re ceived a few petitions and then adjourned. In the House of Commons Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR moved for a new writ for the City of Westminster, in the room of Sir FrinNcts BUROF.Tr, who has accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. Among the multitude of petitions pre sented on the Church-rate question was one from Lambeth, signed by 5,700 persons, in favour of the Ministerial measure now before the country. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from Dunbar praying for a reductirn► of the rate of postage. Petitions also from the parish of St. James, Westm►nster, were presented for a repeal of the Window Tax, and for an equalization of the Land Tax. LordJoux RussEr.t.. in reply toMr. Trevor, stated distinctly that the Church-rate que-tion would certainly be brought fo►wvard on the 22nd cf the present month. The Report of the Resolution respecting Tithes in Ireland was brought up. The debate on this question was adjourned till to-morrow, when it is understood M?. CRAWFORD will move an amendment. The Public Record Bill was read a second time and ordered to to? committed on the 31st inst. The adjourned debate on Mr. RomssoN's motion for a Committee of the whole House to consider the expediency of admitting foreign grain to be ground and manufactured for re-exportation was resumer', and the motion agreed to ; but the resolutioq proposed by Mr. tioraNsoN, in favour of the ad mission of foreign grair for these purposes, was negatived in the Committee by a majority of 198 to 43. Mr. O'CoNNEm. moved the second reading of his Law Libd Bill. The discussion on it occupied the remainder the evening. It wa-s lost by a majority of 8, the numberF be. tug for the motion 47, against it 55. N- No man who does not wilfully shut his .eves can be blind to the real nature of the contest which has now comme-aced for the representation of Westminster, The struggle lies between the friends and the enemies Or Reform. Under whatever specious pretences th, truth may be attempted to be disguised, this is thc fact—the important fact, which it behoves the never for a moment to lose sight of. The enemies cif Reform insidiously appeal to the feelings of S i r FRANCIS BuRDETT's former constituents. " Con Sider, say these erinsietent patriots, " only consider the great service which Sir FOANCIS has rendered to the cause of Reform, and you cannot, sur e ly, re f use voteto for your ° LI friend.''' We do not believe there is a. tan in Westminster silly enough to be caught by shallow an artifice as this. Allowing Sir FRANCIS BURDETT to have keen sincere in his former profes:- limo of Reform 1 -, rineiples, and also serviceable to the cause he esiriused (which is an ample allowance), would that justify the Reformers' in supporting him, when h' has ceased to support their principles ? What, absurdity or inconsistency could be greater than th:s? The attachment of the electors of Westminster . .vas not to the man, but to his principles ; and now that these arc gone, that attachment must go with them, and must find an appropriate object elsewhere. So far from there being anv rational claim on the friends of Reform to continue their adherence to their late Representative, those who most strenuously supported him (ti former occasions arc most especially called upolt to oppose him now, not only because he tio longer the same person he then was, but also because they have been the means of inducing others to vote for one w h o h as d eserte d t h e sacred cause, which they pledged themselves he would maintain to the last moment of his life. This is the view, we are happy to say, which the old Reformers who have been accustomed to take the lead in recommending Sir RANCIS BURDETT to the electors of Westminster, take of the duty which they have to perform in this ciner.!•,eiß•y, in which the enemies of freedom are invokity, pers(;nal and nrivate re ,, ard to bear down puhlic pi inciple. At the !teat Meeting of the electors of St. George's I Innovcr-square, which was held last night, Mr. PLAcc, Sir FRANCISS oldest and best supporter o:hcr. days, came fwv. - ard and urged r un tho elePt..;l's the propriety and . necessity of ``. 11 . 1 m who ahando"cd his erine.o4,, 7,Vv`vell h's tbe:eleefors of West "list" , I N;. 'S'frongly, receitrthienci of thP... l t r e:tatin eformer to The of those who ace tilled upon to the honour of West minster at the . oitning election. The following pas ,;age campq Pail to strike the reader ?===t tie re collected that vAt 1 meeting that ewcAkty . ,A s ome yea , rs 'age, Sir F. D ETT was rkared with having AlAn4oned his prin ciples, teat's on that occasion f‘t teplied that he did not kw3w what might t;'appen to him--he might be turned into , t',l oyster—(Laughter)—hut be did not think that it was possible that he could ever abandon the principlyl ti Iteform. At that time he (Mr. Ploc. , c) would as soon liay4 believed that Sit rhANCIS would be tivrttn'i into an oyster as into a T or y, as b e th en was ."—( Hear, and laughter.) How t.rvngly does this show us the weak ness of human nature, and the ignore ice of them se l ves , which men so often exhibit. In the House of Commons last night the ATTOR- N EY-GENERAL succeeded in throwing out the Bill of the Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny, for the Improvement of the LAW of Libel. We cannot con gratulate the Right Hon. Gentleman, or the Govern ment of which he is a Member, on this triumph ; knowing, as we do, the just—but to Ministers—the unfavourable, light in which the enitimy will regard it. The course adopted by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL with respect to, this most important and desirable measure was in every way so ill-judged—so inexpe dient, and impolitic, under existing circumstances—that we are astonished how his colleagues could have con sented to it. Ministers tell us that the law of libel, as it now exists, is a disgrace to the Statute book of England. Wherefore, then, refuse to allow Mr. O'CONNELL'S Bill for amending it to go into Committee ? The preamble, at least, was unobjectionable ; and as for the other clauses, they were open to the revision of the House in Committee. Sir JOIIN CAMPBELL told the House that, if there was time during the present session of Parliament, he himself would introduce a Bill for removing the abuses of the law of libel. We beg leave to assure the Right Hon. Gentleman, that his speech last night against Mr. O'CONNELL'S Bill, has all but convinced us that the law of libel, as it now stands, is quite as unobjectionable as it would be after the passing of any measure he is likely to bring forward for its amendment. Taking his speech last night as an epitome of his views upon libel law, we can ar rive at no other conclusion, than that the Attorney- General cherishes with professional affection those very abuses in the existing system which the country re gards as most directly opposed to the liberty of the press, and the constitutional freedom of the people. We are, therefore, not over-anxious to see Mr. O'CONNELL'S excellent Bill--for excellent it really was, notwithstanding all that was urged to the con trary by Sir J. CAMPBELL, Sir F. PoLLocx, and Mr. Serjeant TA LrounD—replaced by a concoction from the pen of the Attorney-Genefal. But as the Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny has so repeatedly failed in carrying Bills for the removal of abuses, of which every public man in the kingdom is ashamed to appear the avowed advocate, it now rests with Lord BROUGHAM to originate a measure in the Upper House. Hitherto we have given to the present Go vernment our most cordial support, because we believed it had nothing so much at heart as the welfare of the people ; but we must con fess that the rejection of Mr. O'CONNELL'S Bill, for guaranteeing to the nation the exercise of a most sacred right, after the unceremonious fashion resorted to last night, has completely staggered us. We see in the conduct of the Government, on this occasion, evidences of a disregard of the rights of the power that sustains it, well calculated to make the people pause before they engage in another mortal struggle for - its continu ance in office. Our disappointment is bitter and unexpected, and we may add with confidence, that in our painful feelings, four-fifths of the honest Liberals of the three kingdoms will participate., Ministers have inflicted a more serious injury upon themselves by their conduct upon the Law of Libel last night, than the Tories have been able to do since the commencemen of the Session. T 'he Paris journals of Tuesday have been received. They state that, " The attendance upon the KING, on the occasion of his birthday, was never more bril liant or numerous than on the day preceding. The Peers crowded to join the deputation, headed by their President, baron PASQUIER, and upwards of three hundred Deputies followed M. DUPIN. These were preceded by Ministers and Marshals, and were suc ceeded by Courts of Law, the Prefects of the Seine and of the Police, the Municipal Councils and Mayors. of the Arrondissements, the Institute, the Officers of -the National Guards and of the Garrison, and, finally, by the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers." Tues day evening was fixed for the reception at the Tuileries of all persons having a right of presenting their indivi dual congratulations to the SOVEREIGN. To add to the general hilarity the weather was remarkably fine throughout the day ; and at an early hour in the evening, the public promenades were thronged with spectators in their holyday attire. No at tempt was made to disturb the general tran quillity, nor was the slightest outrage committed during the evening. Slimily after eight o'clock the KING appeared at one of the palace windows, and was greeted with loud cheers by the dense multitude as sembled to catch a view of his person.. The effect of the commutation of 11 1:2uNIER'S punishment might, in fact, be read in ev.:;ry countenance.- One act of mercy had apparently erased. from the hearts of the Parisians the bitter records of four years of unconstitutional op prestret, now fatally blind must the KING be, if 11c:1o:forth he do not perceive at how little cost he limy recover and reserve the love of a brave and gal lant people Moniteur publishes copies of the addresses presented to the KING by the diplomatic body, the Peers, aod the Deputies, with his iNIAJEsTY's an swer 4. We annex the address of the Deputies, with the Royal reply, as containing all that is of any im portance in these documents. The reference to the pardon of MEl.7NrEtt deserves attention ' ADDRESS OF M. DUPIN, PRESIDENT OF TILE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. " Siren-.put a few days ago the Chamber of Deputies pre sented its congratulations to your Majesty on the marriage of the Prince Royal. Since then it has given to this political alliance a more striking proof of its assent, by a vote which, it doubts not, will meet with the approbation of the whole country. We had pronounced in your presence the word clemency, Sire. A first opportunity has presented itself, on the eve of y our Kite, and yo u h ave se i ze d i t , b y restor i ng t h e forfeited life of him who, by an odious attempt, had placed your own in peril. Indulgence so great ought at length to disarm parricides, and those who would have been deterred by the ter rors of the scaffold, may perhaps be brought to a sense of their duty, and to feelings of humanity by gratitude. Rely, Sire, upon the natural impulsions of your own mind —courage and goodness. The love of all Frenchmen will follow yo, in this path of the peaceful and conciliating virtues, the delightful practice of which appears to be peculiarly reserved for your reign. They have their heroism and their value in the eyes of a people always attracted by confidence and carried assay by greatness of soul, who never show more attachment to their Kings than when they are able to laud them for qua lities which reflect with greater brilliancy that nobleness and • generosity which characterise the nation." The King replied— " The Chamber of Deputies knows with what , emotion I received the sentiments it expressed to me a few days ago. I renew at this moment with pleasure the testimony of these my sentiments, and declare how highly I appreciate the readiness by which it acceded to the propositions Laid before it relative to the marriage of my son. I have still a great satisfaction in rekating to you how deeply my heart is penetrated by the affection you have shown towards me on every occasion, how greatly I enjoy the sympathy with which you have sustained me through all the trials I have had to undergo. You know that I have no ambition but to see the happiness of France, to which my whole life is conse crated. I thank you for the assistance you have afforded me ; in executing this noble task. I entreat you for a continuation . of this support, and trust that that Providence which has so repeatedly covered me and my children with its tutelar aegis, will grant me the favour of not again subjecting me to simile trials. I accept with happiness the augury given me by y‘ president, that the moment at which I could extend the 1 4 .0a i clemency to an unhappy an d repentent transgressor h „ . to A t an end to these grievous attempts. Accept, Gentle. the .4 expression of all the sentiments with Which my heart is filled, and believe that with ,n , ir - ,lpport, nothing p reven t me__:.nothing- shall discourage me—in the con stant effurts 1 shall ItriVCr cease to make to insure the repose and happiness of France, and to maintain all our institutions in their integrity." - - to it eptitit in Ttiedfty, M.

The advices received from the South of France re present the general distress as really frightful. Hun dreds of thousandm of artisans arc reduced to a slate of absolutti,tlestitution from the want of employment. General Irribarren after having provided for what was most urgent, has just taken up better military positions in anticipa tion of the movement ei the Carlists either towards the Arga or the Ebro. He has placed his troops in the following man ner—the head quarters at Larraga, the division of Ribeira at Miranda del Arga, the Brigade ot the 4th Division at 'Walla, and the Foreign Legion at Antigone. • These positions which were occupied on the 22d of April are said, by military men acquainted with the country, to be perfectly well chosen, arid have been commanded by the dis positions of the Carlists, who seem to intend to effect their passage at Echarc. Thus posted, the Queen'. troops it they are well served in the information they receive, can proceed in one day either to the Upper Arga or to Lodosa to dis pute the passage with the Carlists if they should resolve to'at tempt it.--Phare de Bayonne. The ()nate Gazette el the 25th of this month is very insig nificant; it informs us, however, that the Pretender is still at Estella, and that the Infant had not quitted Tolosa. The accounts from Valencia are to the 18th inst. General Oraa had arrived in that city on the 17th, at three' o'clock in the morning. He seemed much inclined to regulate the mi litary operations, and act with severity to the Anarchists. The. mutinous soldiers of the column commanded by Hidalgo were publicly punished on the 14th ; they were degraded and put in irons. According to the bulletin of Colonel Brest, dated from Cas tellon, the town of Lucerna had acquired fresh glory, by vi gorously repulsing the attacks of the party of El Scrrador. The house of J.

BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—It will be Well by adver tisements in this day's paper that the Committee of the House of Commons have rejected Stevenson's Lino, by a majority of 26 to 17, and recommend the adoption of that of Sir John Rennie. The Hon. J. A. Stuart Wortley, youngest son of Lord Wharncliffe, has just had a windfall under very curious circumstances. Mrs. Freeman, the owner of Houseley Hall, Yorkshire, died lately, and on opening her will, it was found to contain a bequest to Mr. Wortley of property, personal and freehold, amounting in the whole to about ten thousand pounds. The clause in the will to this effect states that Mrs. Freeman, having low? ' been a sincere admirer o f t he m an ly in dependence of Lord Wharucliffe's political character, was so much gratified at seeing Mr. Wortley determined to tread in his father's steps, that she was induced thus to testify her ad miration of his character, and at the same time to aid, in some degree, in making up the pecuniary deficiencies which the sa crifice of professional to political success might call upon him to make. The bequest consists partly in money, to be paid immediately, and partly in reversionary property, including the Houseley Hall estate. LITTLE PEOPLE.-The littler folks be, the bigger they talk. You never seed a small man that didn't wear high heel boots and a high crowned hat, that warn't ready to fight most any one, to show he was a man every inch of him.—The Clockmaker ; or, Sayings and Doings of Sam Slick. A foreign medical writer, apparently with no view of flattering the skill or vanity of his profession,. has lately as serted that " physic is the art of amusing the patient while nature cures his disease." If this be true, it must, at least, be confessed that the amusement is generally not very grati fying.. A. man, named Danguiny, condemned for robbery to twenty years' hard labour, was, on Friday last, exposed on the pillory at Chalon-sur-Saone, France. He waa obliged to be secured hand and foot, in order to attach him to the post. During the whole hour of his exposure he never ceased laugh ing, singing, and haranguing, in his way, the assembled crowd, whose only feeling was disgust at his conduct. One of his remarks was, " I am very%appy here—happier than King Louis Philip. No one will fire a pistol at me, that is very certain." The proprietors of a Belgian journal have offered a reward of a hundred florins any person who will make known a composition used in Austria, or any equivalent one, against decayed teeth. This composition, when in a vial, re sembles glass in fusion, but when poured into the cavities of the carious teeth, assumes the hardness and permanency of glass, The farmers are so short of hay that in several in stances they have unroofed their outhouses and cut up the thatch to keep their cattle from dying from starvation.—De vizes Gazette, On Monday evening a meeting took place at the Hall of Science, City.road, for the purpose of giving a public expression of the disapprobation evinced against the existing practice in the army of flogging. Colonel 7 Thompson, M.P., was called to the chair, and in an emphatic speech deprecated the system of corporal punishment. Several other persons also spoke at length upon the subject, who were all of opinion that the disgraceful practice should be put an end to, and that it was in consequence of the prevalence of this system that so much- insubordination was manifested among the common sol diers. Richard M'Cormick, of the 17th Lancers, addressed the assemblage, and gave a detailed account of the sufferings he had undergone since his castigation, which greatly excited the feelings of the persons present. Resolutions were unani mously adopted expressing disgust at the system of military flogging; and the Chairman was requested to move in the House of Commons for certain returns respecting Courts martial which had ordered such punishment to be inflicted. Colonel Thompson intimated that he would comply with the request, and thanks having been voted to him, the meeting „se parated at a late hour. We understand that pursuant to two resolutions of the House of Commons on the subject of Church-rate., cir culars have been addressed to the Churchwardens of the seve ral parishes of Jersey, by direction of Lord John Russell, re questing certain returns, connected with the repairing of our island churches, and the expenses of maintaining public wor ship therein, to be made to the Home Office without delay._ Jersey Argus The Germans, one and all, are an out of door people, and seek their chief enjoyments in the air. They boast not Italian skies, nor English gardens; but the alcove, the branching covert, the sycamore walk, and a thousand seats, are filled in some part or other of the day (and always overflow on a holyday), with happy faces, made still happier by the admirabl , music, so gratifying to a German ear; which, being 'afforded gratis, is enjoyed by the poorest as well as the rir.4. a. All this eminently betpeaks the national character— content ; and this pleasing feature lights up the whole counte mance of the people, whatever their avocations.—lllustrations .0f Human Life. It is related that two Spanish gentlemen had, at the battle of Pavia, procured gold balls to fire at Francis I. ; that so noble and generous a prince should not fall by the vile metal used towards vulgar people. The Chinese inhale opium for its intoxicating effects. The drug is first reduced to the consistence of treacle, and poured into a small receptacle at the end of a bamboo cane. where it Is kindled.

Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails ; a'so mails from Lisbon and Rio Janeiro---the last by the Spey sailed Feb. 28. The mail from Lisbon is brought by the Manchester, with letters from Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga. We have received the Journal of Commerce from Rio Janeiro of the 28th Feb., bringing the Exchange on London, 34i ; Stocks, 80. The accounts received from Lisbon by the Manchester steamer, state that the Cortes had assembled, and were discuss ing the basis of the new Constitution. The certainty of her Ma jesty's pregnancy had led to the nomination of the young Emperor of Brazils as godfather, and the Duchess of Bra. ganza as godmother, to the looked for Royal Infant. It was reported that the Treasury at Lisbon was so wretchedly impo verished as to have forced her Majesty to demand the arrears due from her allowance ; and in case of non-compliance, she threatened to obtain money on her jewels. Efforts are making to obtain a loan. We hear this morning, and which is credited, that an Ame rican firm of some importance applied to the Bank for assist ance, which has been granted to them. We also hear of some difficulties being experienced by an East Indian firm of some note. The accounts from Manchester state, that the market yes terday was not quite so good as on the previous Tuesday. Some little want of confidence had been created by the failures last week in London, but it was not materially worse. Late in the afternoon of yesterday, reports were afloat in the 'city of failures is the commercial community, as well as of applica tions to the Bank far assistance. TILE FUNDS.

IiVIPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The House of Lords stands adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr., LOWTHER, the York and North Midland Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. _ _ _ Nothing further of any importance took place up to the time of our going to Press. The health of the Duke of Buckingham, is con sidered in a very precarious state. On Monday night last there was a numerous assem blage of rank, beauty, and fashion at the British Gallery, Pall Mall, to view the pictures by gas light. The rooms were splendidly illuminated with about 100 burners, tastefully ar ranged, and placed in the same direction as that in which the daylight enters, so that the direction of the rays of light were, with respect to the pictures, relatively the same ; but the effect is more soft and pleasing, and yet the light is abundantly strong, so that you can examine the finest parts of a work with AS much clearness as in the broadest daylight ; the prome nading lasted for two hours (from nine until eleven), and it would be difficult to discover a place where the admirers of real living, as well as pictorial beauty, could spend an hour more agreeably. The second and last assemblage this season will take place on Friday next, at the same hour, and on the evening of the following day the interesting Gallery will be closed for this year, and the pictures bought and unbought will be returned to their owners. About 60 'pictures have been sold this season, which is much lower than the general average of the sales in this Gallery. MADRID, APRIL 17.—M. Santa Maines, the Mexican Plenipotentiary at this Court, breathed his last at nine o'clock yesterday, after a lingering illness of several months. His remains have lain in state until this morning at his apartments in the Calle del Desengano, and the funeral will start this evening from the church of Porta Celi. He was a most able and intelligent man, most anxious for the increas ing welfare of his country. I understand, from very good authority, that the preliminaries of the treaty of commerce and navigation between Spain and that Republic were adjusted with him about ten days since, at which time he appeared to be perfectly aware of his approaching dissolution, expressing deep regret that be would no longer be in the land of the living when the ratification of the treaty of peace and amity between the two countries is received at Madrid next June. Whether his Secretary is provided with the necessary !powers to assume the post of Charge d'Affaires, or whether another Minister from Mexico must be waited for before anything further can be done, is what I have not yet been able to learn. A suicide of a dreadful and most determined nature took place in Horsham during the night of Monday, the 24th ult., when a man named Peter Pollard, an under bailiff of the Sheriff of Sussex, destroyed himself. Pollard was of the Ro man Catholic persuasion, and had the care of the chapel in Horsham belonging to that ancient faith. He lived in the house attached to the chapel, which was also occupied by a family named Potter. He had much habituated himself to drinking for several weeks past, up to within the last day or two of his death, and to the horrid vice of drunkenness his pre mature end may be attributed. He went to bed quite sober on Monday night ; but on Tuesday morning it was discovered that he had left his bed in the night and come down stairs into , a small parlour, where he kept his shaving-box and razor in a drawer ; it is supposed he opened the drawer, took out the razor, and cut his throat. He then returned up stairs to his room and got into bed. Finding, however, that the wound he had inflicted was ineffectual, he left his bed again, and fastening a small cord to the post at the foot of the bedstead, with the other end completed his horrible design, and was found a corpse early in the morning. An inquest was taken, when the Jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict —" That deceased destroyed himself while labouring under temporary degrangement."—Brighton Guardian.

Mr. TITESSIGEn addressed the Committee against the vote. Mr.. MAULE replied in a very able and ingenious speech, contending that no man ought to be disfranchised on such evi dence as that given by Mr. Elliot. The room was then cleared, and on our return in about half au hour, the CHAIR MAN said the Committee had decided that the vote should not be struck off. COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY. SMITH V. IWRLOCK. . . The Loen CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, directing the retaxation of a solicitor's bill. The question involved in the case, which was one not only of importance to solicitors but to the public generally was, whether after a solicitor's bill had been paid, it could be re taxed. Considerable doubts had been entertained by the profession on the subject, which will be set at rest by the present decision. The short facts of the case ap peared from the statements of his Lordship to be as follows. :—ln the year 1818, Messrs. Goode were the soli citors of a gentleman named Yerns in certain suits in which he was a defendant, and they so continued to the period of his death in 1833. Upon that occasion the present petitioners took out administration to the estate of Mr. Yerns, and in Oc tober, 1833, they employed other solicitors, of the name of Harris and Hyde, and the employment of Messrs. Booth ceased. In the year 1835 the bill of Messrs. Booth was delivered to tho petitioners, and the balance due to these gentlemen of 510/. was paid shortly afterwards, when Messrs. Booth delivered up part of the papers belonging to the late Mr. Yerns. The petitioners, upon obtaining the papers, conceived that many of the items of the bill were highly objectionable, and presented a petition to the Master of the Rolls to have it retaxed. Upon the case coming an be fore the Master of the Rolls, his Lordship ordered the re taxing, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. The Lord Chancellor, after going at some length into the authorities on the subject, particularly the different decisions of Lord Eldon, stated his opinion to be, that solicitors were not liable to have their bills retaxed, after they had been taxed and paid, upon a general assertion that many parts of the bill were objectionable. In his Lordship's opinion, a solicitor was entitled to have those objections specifically set out in any petition for re-taxation, and proved. His Lordship therefore felt compelled to dis charge the order made by the Master of the Rolls. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) HOSEASON V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied this morning, in this case for a writ of mandamus or commission to the Chief Justice and Judges of the Supreme Court at Madras, for the purpose of taking evidence in the suit on the part of the defendants, the East India Company, under the provisions of 13 Geo. 3, chap. 63. The application was supported by the affidavits of Mr. Lawford, the Solicitor of the East India Company, who stated that the cause was at issue in the Supreme Court at Madras, and that the evidence of the witnesses was necessary to the due hearing of the cause. _ The VIOE.CHiNCELLOR immediately granted the appli. cation. GOODWIN V. SIR ANDREW LEITH HAY AND OTHERS. ' Mr. KNIGHT applied this morning, ex parte, for an injunction to restrain the defendant Sir A. Leith Hay arid the other Di rectors and Bankers of the Deptfoi d and Dover Railway Com pany, from issuing or parting with any Exchequer Bills or other Securities which they had received in their character of Directors of the Company. The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the injunction, but as the application was ex parte, we refrain from entering into the par ticulars at present. His Honour rose before twelve o'clock, having no motion to proceed with.' KING'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) No case of interest occurred in this Court up to the time of our going to press. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied up to 12 o'clock with motions on mere points of practice. Many important causes were put off in consequence of the absence of Mr. Baron Parke, who very unfortunately had a fall from his horse in coming down to Court. His Lordship has received several severe bruises, but we were given to understand no bones were broken. The Court rose at the above hour. At the rising of the Court, Mr. HUMPREY presented a peti tion from the prisoners confined in the King's Bench prison, complaining of the heavy fees they were compelled to pay on suing out a writ of habeas corpus, and praying their Lord ships to take measures for abolishing them. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied in hearing Counsel on the part heard cases for new trials, in which nothing of public interest occurred. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. BARER AND ANOTHER. Mr. THESSIGER applied for a writ of certiorari, to remove into the Court of King's Bench two indictments, which had been preferred at the Sessions of Sussex, for an assault, and for offering a bribe, against the defendants. The case aroso out of circumstances which had taken place at the late election at Lewes ; and as the proceedings were connected with various matters of a political character, there was every reason to sup pose that a prejudicial feeling would not speedily subside. The defendants were bound over to appear within twenty days, and were thereby precluded from their right to traverse. Rule granted. THE KING V. Mr. BODKIN applied for a writ of certiorari, to remove into the Court of King's Bench two indictments against the de fendant from the Central Criminal Court. He made the ap plication on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS-why could not the case be tried before the Recorder ? What is the defendant ?—what condition of life is he in ? Mr. BODKIN replied, that if he was applying on the part of the defendant, the case would be different. The defendant was a sheriff's officer of the county of Essex, and the bona fide grounds upon which he made the application were, he sub mitted, of a very substantial nature, for the expences would be ruinous, as the county in such cases did not allow expenses unless witnesses were subpoenaed, and as the trial could be fixed in this Court for any particular day, the cost attending it would be comparatively small. There are six witnesses, who, in all probability, must remain all the week in town waiting for the time, there being no particular day appointed for hear ing cases of misdemeanour at the Old Bailey. Mr. Justice WILLtAms--If application was made to any of the three Gentlemen who preside at the Central Criminal Court, the day for trial might be so fixed as to make the ex penses moderate. It does not appear that the case would in volve any particular point of law. Why not apply to Brother Arabin, who certainly would riot refuse if the matter was explained. ' Mr. C. PHILLIPS.—The Learned Serjeant, my Lord, has this morning informed me that it was not his intention to try the case. .Mr. Justice WILLIANis.—Then why not take it to the Re corder or to the Common Sergeant. I certainly have known indictments to have been removed to the King's Bench from the Central Criminal Court ; but in the present instance there appears no necessity for pursuing any such course. Rule refused. THE MISSING WHALERS.—We have at length the satisfaction, though it is a melancholy one, of communi cating authentic intelligence of the missing ships. The fol lowing is a copy of a letter which has just been received in this town by Mr.'Batson, owner of the Grenville Bay ; its con tents are distressing, but they remove the still more miserable state of suspense in which we previously existed as to the fate of the vessels : " Stromness, April 25. " DEAR SIR,—.! have now to inform you, that the poor un fortunate Dee has arrived here with only fifteen of her crew in life. Captain Gamblen died on the 3d of February ; they were beset on the Bth of October, in lat. 73 15, and got clear on the 16th of March, in lat. 62, in company with the Gren ville Bay, Norfolk, and they think the Advice. The Thomas was wrecked on the 13th of December, and the crew divided among other ships; they expect them soon after them. Capt. Taylor was in health when they left. Time will not allow of my adding more at present, but remain in haste " T. IL Batson, Esq. " M ARGT . , M. LOGIN." —Tyne Mercury. There is a plant inhabiting the vast prairies in North America, the endi of the leaves being armed with teeth, which have the power of closing up on being irritated by any sub stance, as, for instance, a fly ; indeed these seem to be the na tural food of the plant. A French philosopher engaged in the investigation of its properties put many of these plants in situations where they could not get any insects, and they gra dually faded. He also fed some of them with beef scrapings, and those plants throve well. BRUSSELS, GERiIAN, AND LISBON PAPERS. BRUSSEL, APRIL 30.—A contract has been conc luded for the construction of the dik e o f Lillo, for the sum of 1,800,000 fi-anes ; but only the sluice wi be completed this year—nono of the persons rho. sent in tenders would u ndertake to erect the dike in one season.

LEIPAG, AvriiL 2.4.—The iron rail-road front Leipsig to :',..lthen (2 leagues) was opened to-day in the presence of a great' z.lneourse of spectators. H. It. H. Prince Jo hn Was present, Jock his seat in the first carriage. The puree! was performed 5 times from Leipsig to Althen and back ill the course of the day. The first time the distance of leagues (5 miles) was performed in 21 minutes, and the second time in 16 minutes. The day was remarkably fine, and DO the slightest accident or disorder occurred. LisnoN, APRIL 23.—1 n the sitting of the Cortes yesterdst wbfcb four projects were discussed, the first of which is an act I does honour to the Assembly. It consists in ordering all 4 ' e subahern officer., corporals, and privates to be considered as . e retired veterans, who in consequence of the dissolution of junta of Oporto retired to Gallicia, and there, faithful to there oaths, embarked for England. But very few of these hear men arc still left whom the sword of the Viscount d e Bob lus conducted to Corunna and Ferrol, where they embarked. APRIL 24.—1 n the sitting of the Cortes to-day, the .order of the day was the general discussion of the plan of the CI; stitution. Senor Costa Cabral spoke against the pla n, ssn h conformable to the principles proclaimed on the 9th a nd 1 0 ,, September, and the 4th and sth November. M. Gurrevi spoke for, and M. Macario de Castro against the propos e ., plan. The speakers against the plan objected, among otb e things, to two Chambers. The debate being contmu ; Senor Medori, in an eloquent speech, showed the nece ssit ie! two Chambers. Portugal, he said, could go no further tbsu . d other nations, who excelled it in power and meth. He CO' bated the arguments of some of the preceding speakers ag ar the plan, and showed that all civilized nations, wh 9 the blessings of liberty, recognize the necessity of tsco egh lative bodies. Senor Maria da Silva made a very long sP eec , in favour of the plan; he was followed by some other nit i bers, who, though approving of the plan in general , reset's' to themselves to oppose some of the articles.—Naciona l s 26th April inclusive.
