LAW INTELLIGENCE.' COURT OF KING'S 4ENCII; Jart. KING v. VOYVAER. This was an indictment charging the defendant, Mr. Poyn. ' der with refusing to Ochre the ()Mee of overseer of the parish of St.Ann,.lllackfriars,tO which he had been duly appointed. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Poynder, who was upwards of 70 years of ae, ball been_ chosen by, the vestry as overseer, and that the Choice had been regularly confirmed by two Ma gistrates. His housemf business was within'the parish, but he • slept at his country house at - Clapham, leaving a clerk named Mcdlicott in charge orthe premises In teem: 'Thithe year 1816 he had voted for one of the candidates for the Rectory.

DOL'BLEDAY V. PULLEN. - This was an action for the recovery of 2,000.1. upon bills of exchange, drawn by the plaitititf and accepted by the de. fend an t. The transactions between the Parties appeared to; be of a very complicated nature. They had embarked in working, upon )en e xtensive scale, a lead miue the Co' nntyof Durham, 1U c oncerns were managed by shareholders. The capital ins dis tributed in fifty shares, twenty-seven of which were sold for 8,0001. each, and with the 210,010. so raised, 7e,000/. was ap. propriated in the shape of capital for working the mines, and the romaihtler,was sunk in a• variety of other disbursements betwemthepardes. In the course of the business the plaintiff and defendant:separated, the latter entering into an agreement . m make smite advances upon the credit of the.twenty-two un disposed shares of the mines. Bonds and deeds were ac. cordingly executed by those concerned, and in a subsequent ar rangement, four notes of LOW. each, drawn_ by the plaintiff, and accepted by the defendant, • were paid into the banking- I troisibibleisrs. IritatOns, at Newcastle. The :Bankers com pelled the pla.intiff, who MIX the drawer, to pay these bills, UpoU'their being dlshonotired by the defendant, whose affairs had become embarrassed, owing to the unexpected failure of the lead-minesilheshitres of-which were the security on which he relied for the fulfilment of his contracts, The defendant re fused. ix) pay the Mites on the ground that the security, on the faith of.which they had been given, had proved utterly. unavail ing..--The statute of Wasialsts pleaded, it not appear.: ing that any promise of payment ,luttl been made within the term of years. The latter idea was established,- and the plaintiff was non-suited.. • INSOLVENT ITEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 1. llefore the opposed cases were called on, Mr. Cooltr ad. dressed the Cou.rt,aud said, he had a motion to make Of a *cry singular nature it was, that the assignee of an insolvent shoulil be permittal to pay into Court a balance. that remained in his hands, after the payment of all the insolvent's creditors ; and that le, should be dischargedstrum his Ace of assignee. The motion, 51t. Cooke stated, was grounded on tile affidavit of Mr. John Lane, which stated that ho had been 'appointed by the Court assignee of the estate of Nathaniel Ilarkei iorth, an jusolcent, Who had been discharged by the Court, under the In. advent Act; and that he hail since paid all tile idsolvent's cre ditors the full amount of their respective debts, 'out of the in solvent's estate : and that there, remained in his lilinds:a stir, plus of 1371. 19s. 10d., after the payment of all:the said debts, and all costs attending the same. The Court were evidently agreeably surprised lit hearing the facts stated in the uflidavit .7, and, alter some consultation, the Chief Commissioner said, the better Way would be, to take a rule to show cause why the assignee should not be discharged front his office, on the payment of the balance in his hands into Court; which rule was accordingly granted.. SURREY WINTER ASSIZES. These Assizes ended late `on Thursday evening, when sen tence of death was passed upon the following convicts : Daniel Pickett, George btnith, and George Perring, for high. way robbery ; liaac Amor, ainuel Storey, widths).

Two convict* are- left for executioo, viz. Giles Rust, for a rape, committed - at Newingtou, t n Sar a h Perter,.the younger; Eliza Webb, for passing forged notes upon. the Brighton and Sussex Bank. • • It is expected that Eliza Webb would be.repricred, on con. dition of her giving ue the names of two men and a woman, Who were connected with her in the commission of the crime ; but this she has hitherto obstinately refused to do. The youth of the two prisoners, neither of them being more than a) years of age, has excited a considerable degree of interest. The gaol calendar for this county contained 91 prisoners, Whose cased have been disposed of in the following mariner:— Capitally convicted, 271 transported for lite, 3 ;.transported for seven,years, 5 ; convicted of Minor offences 17 ;- removed by Habeas Cegnts,l; traversed to., the Spring -Assizes, 9 ; quitted, 19; discharged by proclamation, 111. Of these it will be seen that 53, above half of the entire num ber, have been benetitted bY the extra assize, in :a greater or lesser degree, 30 of whom have been discharged. and liberated f rom ( as it is f a ir to.. conclude) an unmerited imprisonment or three months. .

Raven gas, the !Wilhite! or .Charge a.A filtires from the republic of Colombia, who arrived in Lon. den .ott Saturday, has brought with him . decisive powers to ar range anti settle the disputes, which have arrisen in consequence of the Loan contracted for by :11r. Zea. This, there is reason to believe, - is not the case, anti of-course those expectations will not be realised. _ _ Mr. Revenges is deputed by the Executive of the Colonibian Republic only ; and the Executive has not-the poweito con traet for, or to confirm-any contract fox Loans; that power has been,reser,ved lay she Congress to itself.- . If even Mr. Revenges had any instructions at ail respecting Mr. Zen's lionn..theycoultl,not havtVbeen: data later than the very early part of October last, and of these; a judgment may be formed from the extracts, taken from the Bogota Gazette, of the oth of this month, and published in the newspaper in Lon. don . ft few dayattgo. • Revengus s opinions can be thosconly of a private Indi. v idual, in.so much as they relate to Mr. Zee's loan. Whether Mr. Zes'a loan.will be acknowledged by the Go. vernment of Colombia, must depend on the notions the Mem bers of the Congress who were to assemble at Bogota on theist, of the present month, may entertain of what strict justice may ~require. No one can well anticipate that they will not act justly, although at the time Mr. Zen contracted for the loan, he had no authority to act at all, having previously received his recal. Mr. Revengas's powers will be found to be wholly political. But there is another Cientlernan here charged by the Colom. Lien Congress with powers, dated the 11th of October last, to act for them in matters of revenue, and specially empowered to negotiate a loan for Ili ttuE mittionl of dalors, a treaty for which has been nearly concluded with a highly respectable litiose in the city. The Cork Southern Reporter says--",A Noble Lard in this part of the country, whose family influence has been considerably increased by the result of ,a late contested election in the North, is stated to have waited on. the Lotte CHAN crA,Loa immediately after the names of the per sons superseded in the Commission of the Peace in this county were made known, and to have represented that a great many of tease whom he had recommended were included in the list, of which, he had asked some explanation. The Learned Lord thus applied to is said to have given an answer, which, though of course vary polite and courteous, was not_ deemed stitisfac tory ; and the consequence was, ti declaration on the part of the Nobleman alluded to, that he ‘could bring the matter before Parliament. We 40 not wish to be considered as in any other way authorising this statement, than merely embody. jog a report which is in general circulation," V,Ricz SILvENpz;4 . et, LIVERPOOL HUMBUG.- ( Prom thc " BRITISH MONITOR" of yesterday) There is a Club of Wags at Liverpool, whoi to demonstrate that they, are Wags, stile' theifi,; selves The Concentric Society, meaning by thilie very name to show that they meet for the pur . - . pose of mere humbug, for, otherwise, is not evevy Glob founded upon - the basis of a common priO. , ciple of sentiment and action I—This huroorntre Club is not contented to enjoy Itself with a hum bugl Meeting, but communicates Occasionally, throuch the. medium of the public prints, an account 'of its proceedings. A meeting of .thls Club lately took place, and the Editor of-the Liverpool Iller,- curN was humbugged into the insertion of a port of its proceedings, which he gravely printed; not having been admitted into the setiet: that it was a mere joke.—lt was stated that , whintsi= cal Report,. that " a Rev. Mr. Sur a& had acted us Chairman ! Now, /3 it to be op., posed that a res-erend pillar of the Church. world act 43 Chairman to an Humbug Club, even If it pretended to be only polilical, in thou times when the Members of the Church are constantly to:oiled in the factious Journals ? The, wpposi tion is absurd ; and if there be an Ecclesias:ii named .tinErnican, at Liverpool, the report is an Insidious attack upon the Reverend Gentleman, which will probably induce him to call the Edi tor of The Mercury before a legal tribunal in defence of his. injured character. The speech imputed to the Reverend tlentlemaq consists of the most rancorous abuse of Mr. CANNING, deny ing his talents, impeaching his motives, and as- cribing many political•evils to his conduct. lint what is still worse, the:whole of this preiended speech, if not a joke, is a tissue of ignorance, ab surdity,' and malevolence. The character of Mr. Canning stands softie* in general estimation, and his talents are of so superior a kind, that it would be the utmost extravagance even of humbug, to ,suppose ; that such an attack upon.him.would,:exe. cite any sentiment but cootempt upon the: impute eel speuker, if it were not an evidaut instance, , ot xi:awry in :some members of the Club; for we cannot believe that it was Wended to rurs.down. the Clergy in general in the person of this. him., j g o it e na u r li y ir N ii r ;c tr o zm r t o n r . th ll is ut su tl p ii i s m i s s e: l 4 r La r l . l o s t ß t i t: .. ii can is also made to attack the charucter isf Mr. GLADSTONE, a gentlemao of high mercantil4 con sequence, general knowledge, and most respect able character. But here the seam is rather too broad, for if there were really a Rev. Mr. Slur at elm in the town of Liverpool, he must be, as sured that Mr. GLADSTONE IS ton well knewn, and too mach respected, for, such apparent ma lignity to appear to be any thing but a sportive Christmas Gambol. The Liverpool 'Courier of Wednesday last has entered 'into the tusrabrisr with equal humour, affecting to treat the acs count of the Mereary us the serious report of a political Meeting. lint as the Editor or the Liverpool Courier is very shrewd, very ahle,,and very loyal, we are almost iecliiied to doubt whe ther the Concentric S.cieig is not really a Party Instead of an i/z/mOns Club, only that it *bald be highly disrespectful to the town of Liverpool, to conceive that many of its inhabitants could - be found who would patiently listen to the ranco rous nonsense, so disgraceful to a Clergyman, as time Speech imputed to the Reverend Chairman, Granting that the Meeting arts such as4ront the Comments of the Liverpool Courier might, be in. ferred, we must feel, if possible, an edditiooal. respect for that paper, which has so long kaeid. , . Very distinguished mut well-merited estimation for the soundness of its reasoning, the manly and energetic stile in which he repels the rancour, and exposes the sophistry of the imputed pro cpe.aiwzg. IMPROVEMENTS 'IN BILLINGSGATE MAlllat. Important alterations and improvements' are about to take place in Billingsgate Market. The utmost inconvenience arises from the existing str: , rangements, by which the wholesale market and thetetail, or Bomree, market are united. -I The public are liable to great impositions in cowed quence of this union, as they are prevented from distinguishing between the Salesman • and the Bomree man, and often purchase large quantities of fish at retail prices. The wholesale marketla also completely obstructed during the busiest period of the day, by persons who have nothing to do with wholesale purchase,. By the plan submitted in the City. Committee, the two mar kets will be effectually separated, and the public. will be protected from all attempts to defraud. During the Mayoralty of Alderman Atkins, a beneficial change was made in the market. It had been usual to permit the , oyster-boats to land 'their oysters at any part el the market ; a per raiSMOU that caused the most, offensive and injorioits contests, which were only-put an end to by a re... gelation confiuing the boets.to to certain space at the bottom of the market. The owners, at firsts opposed this plan for.their accommodation ; but they had DO sooner tried the experiment, than they approved of it. The Committee also re commended that the profits of the market, shall be paid into the Chamber, and that the Corpora tion shall pay the different officers of the market at a rate equal to their present casual weekly , receipts. There is to be no increase of fees, nor any pecuniary advantage to the Corporation arising hem taking the management out of the hands of the present clerks ; but it is supposed that the public will be benefited by the change, ss Welk fixes a certain degree of responsibility on the Corporation for the protection of all pur chasers. The Salesmen and. Demme men are perfectly well satisfied at the projectod improve runts ; and the Report will be made early in the month, and the improvements will commence immediately after.

The Committee beg tc;.olaserve, that the v a lue of money being much greater its Syria than . inthis country, a compara tively small Stun will provide necessaries and provisions for a family for several months; the smallest contributor, therefore' will enjoy the satisfaction of haVing afforded relief to his fellow creatures under the most calamitous circumstances.

They solicit, therefore, the contributions of the benevident, With an assur ance that the utmost attention shall be paid to the distribution of the funds which may be committed to their cave, and that an account shall be hereafter' rendered of the manner in- which they may be appropriated. - Subscriptions continue to be iegekied by John Theophilui Daubuz, Esq.
