SPAIN (Trotti the Tithes' Private CorrPqinntioriee.) 21. The w ar I n the northern provinces of SANTANDER, S?ain, h A a's m acquired new interest since the arrival of the British volunteers. Their number now amounts to about 4,300, as well in the neigh bourhood of- this town, as in St. Sebastian, and more are daily expected.

Evans has been busy since his arrival in arranging the batta lious, and last night he- and General Alava proceeded with six steam-boats, and about 1,400 of the most eiThetive troops, to the eastwar,l, in the direction of Bilboa, with the intention, as it is reported, of taking possession of the convent of San • M ulles, and other places now occupied by the Carlists on the rn river of Bilhoa, and of stationing garrisons there, as well as Bilboa and Pertugalette, in order to ii.surc the free corn ?is illinieation from that city to the sea. The garrison of Bilboa also, as it i 3 stated, to be reinforced, in order to secure that important place from the attacks of the Carlists, now carry the Ing on a s ort o f b lockade. It is, however, stated, that in case bar of Bilb oa s h ould be found impassable, which from the rough weather nz - )w prevailing along the coast is highly pro le, th e expeditim; will proceed to St. Sebastian, in order () co-operate - with hurogui in opening the communications b land from that town wit;t France, .and in liberating the Province of Guipuscoa from the few factious now marauding therein. There are about 160 soldiers in the town, a portion of whom act as a guar d , and the remainder belong to a regi- I form nent of L ancers, which will, a s i t i s expecte d , b e speed il y ed. dieTrshe arrival o f t hi s corps has already produced remarkable res ults amon g t h e Spaniards, who look upon the British sol ias a g noti sm uarantee of their freedom ag a i ns t t h e yoke of des ioo, under whi c h t h ey have b ee n so long weighed down. all quarter s t h ey contrast the promptitude of the British volunteers with the tardy, specious succour, unwillingly, as it would appear, afforded by France to the cause of Isabel 11.

A boat belonging to the Ringdove, Cap lit.. pas Lapidge, was proceeding, with the flag flying, at 1 ,1 1 ,. t one o'cl oc k i n t h e afternoon of the 7th, up to Bilboa, lea-p! wi t h out being hailed or challenged, several shots_ were beZthinto the boat, which wounded two of the sailors. On g down the ri ver ot h er shots were fired at the boat. On 4 re, oceasions the off eers and men would have returned the hot _ but a. s.the shots Caine from persons concealed, they could ti ,_ sse their assailants. Captain Lapidge instantly reported t s!" affai r ,:n Lord John Flay, the Captain of the Castor, and the 66Pneeriror offico• on the station. Lord J.

The Russell 13ritish man-of-war touched here on Saturday on her voyage to Lisbon, and the Royalist and the Water-witch have arrived since from Portugal. The Royalist has gone to reinforce the Ring dove off Portuga: lette, at the entrance of the, harbour of Bilboa. The Alpha, from Portsmouth, has arrived, and landed 41 horses. Much ,expectation is afloat for the arrival of the 360 others, in order to enable the lancers to take the field. In consequence of the insults offered by the Carlist, to the British flag, it is expected that the naval force on this sta tion will be increased. The arrival of the British auxiliary legion has irritated the Carlists very much ; and their chiefs appear desirous not only of doing injvy to the auxiliary legion, but to all the British subjects. They do not pay much atten tion to the distinction of the auxiliary legion being in the pay of the Spanish Government. The utility of having some quick-sailing vessels, and even steam-boats, to convey to En gland speedy intelligence of what is taking place on this coast, becomes daily more evident. SANTA:4MER, Auri. 29. There have been several arrivals of steam-boats. The Lon don Merchant steam-boat came into this port yesterday morn ing with 200 of the Lancers on board: this boat, it appears, passed by the port three days ago, and from mistake or inex perience went on to St. Sebastian, whence it was despatched hither on Thursday evening, °under the care of another officer. It Etas brought instructions for the immediate departure of the soldiers under the command of Colonel Tupper, part of whom sailed this morning on board the Waterwitch for Portugalette. at the entrance of the river of Bilboa. The Cumberland steam-boat arrived this evening, with 450 Scotchmcn, from Glasgow, ,who are stated to be orderly,well disposed men. The Magicienne, a British man-of-war, arrived 2 days ago from Portsmouth, with instructions to Lord John Hay, in which the temperate, yet decided line of conduct, adopted by him as superior officers of the British squadron on this sta tion, is said to have received the appr:bation of the Govern ment. It is further stated that his Lordship has been entrust ed with full powers to maintain open the passage from the sea to Bilboa for British communications. A sealed letter has been since despatched to the Carlist commander in the neigh bourhood of Bilboa, upon the subject of the blocking up of the river there; the answer is awaited to morrow, and upon its upon its decision must hinge events of great interest and im port:nicer The Magicienne is expected to return to-morrow to Santander, from whence she proceeds to Lisbon. The Pearl British corvette is expected to arrive daily from Co runna to reinforce the present squadron. PORTUGALETTE, AUG. 28. This small town, at the entrance of the river of Bilboa, forms now a point of great interest, as it is almost the only spot in that direction which is still held by the Queen's troop. On Sunday last 500 Spanish troops were removed from it by one of the Spanish steamboats to St. Sebastian, hut the cir cumstances which have lately occurred in the neighbourhood of Bilboa appear to have induced Gen. Evans to direct his at tention to this quarter, and this evening the Reina Governa dora landed 400 British soldiers, who were received with great rejoicings. The Cariists, on seeing that steam-boat ap proach, made signals from the hills around, which were re peated on her departure. In consequence of the difficulty of the navigation over the bar, she stopped merely sufficient time to land the troops. Sarisa, who commanded the Carlists in the neighbourhood of Bilboa, was removed in the beginning of this month ; he has been replaced by General Maroto, a South American by birth, who is said to be rather a braggart and a bully than a brave man. The conduct of the Carlists on this river has latterly been daring in the extreme. Last month, as Lord John Hay was passing up to Bilboa in a boat, with eight men, they obliged him to enter a creek, and although they admitted that they knew him, treated him with indignity, and insisted on search ing his papers, and opening his writing-case, &c. They even wanted him to go to their head-quarters, but with popes caution he declined intrusting his safety to their care. After two hours' delay he was liberated by the arrival of Captain Lapidge, of the Ringdove, in a large boat with several sailors. The enclosed correspondence will show how they treated the. British sailors, as well as the threats of Lord John Hay, in case they should obstruct the passage up and down the river. Notwithstanding these threats, they have now done so effectually, for, independent of the fortifications erected at the Convent of San flames, and along the banks, they have formed a chain bridge across, and even passed some cavalry over it. Since this bridge has been completed, they have refused permission to all boats to pass up. To the application of the British Consul at Bilboa to pass down, they told him that he might go down, but that he should not return. The British vessels of war that lately lay in the river have moved up and taken their station near the bridge. They are now four in number—viz., the Ringdove, 16 guns; the gara cen, 10; the Royalist, 10 ; and the Isabella 11, a schooner, with 1 36-pounder and 2 carronades. The position of those ships is such as in a short time to destroy the bridge and the convent, in case the obstruction to the communication of the Baitish with Bilboa be persevered in by the Carlists. How long the interruption of the British communications i s Minus remains as yet a mystery; but here there is a strong susp,,,,:o that the arrival of the British auxiliary troops in this t o wn is cos;nected with a decided intention on part of the British vessels of war of forcing a passage to Bilboa. Next week will, it is p . "esumcd, see that question decided. In order that you may w iderstand the answer. of Maroto to Lord John Hay, I may mention, that as soon as he receiv e d the first letter lie contrived by some of his ngents, to have it sent to a Carlist in Bilboa, in order to find grounds for reply ing to it. This Carlist sent him word that on board the boat at the time the sailors were shot, was Count Mirasol. This was a strong point; but so badly did lie manage it, that he states the sergeant fired, because Mirasol was on board, and ceased when the British flag was observed. The fact is, that Mirasol was on board at the time accidentally, but of that fact the parties that fired knew nothing. SANTANDER, AUG. 30, SUNDAY NIGFIT. Tile steam-boat Reina Gobernadora started this morning with the remainder of the Scotch. Regiment of Portugalette, from whence she is to proceed to St. Sebastian. The Water, witch having landed two hundred of those men at Portu galette, yesterday evening, has returned; their conduct is described to be excellent ; they were silent and steady in their passage, but they, before quitting the vessel, asked for the piper, and he played their favourite airs as they approached the shores of Biscay. There are now 700 Britons stationed round Portugalette, about 8 miles from Bilboa, and on the bank of the river, on which' the Carlists cannot offer much opposition to their movements. The force of the factious there are stated to amount to 11 battalions, or about 7,000 men. In a letter dated from Portugalette of Friday mention is made of the chances of the four British vessels of war attempt ing to break the bridge of boats ; it is now stated here, that alfhough the right of doing so cannot be denied, some cau tion must be used in exposing, without very sound reasons, the lives of the British sailors, of whom it is calculated that fifty might be sacrificed in the attempt, of the success of which however, no doubt appears to be entertained. It is, therefore, presumed that the auxiliary legion will have the first conflict with the Carlists in attempting to succour Bilboa. The Bri tish ships, however, continue in their positions near the bridge. Colonel Wylde, accompanied by Colonel Cordova, the bro ther of the Queen's General-in-Chief, arrived in this city this evening, after five days' march, with an escort from Logrono, where the head-quarters of the Queen's army are stationed, They describe the spirit of' the troops as very good, and eager to get at the factious, nil() contrive on all occasions to escape. The foreign legion from Algiers is stated by them to have ar rived at Tarragona, as well as 2,000 of the French volunteers, who have come over the Pyrenees to Jaca. The Queen's Gurrea, is in pursuit of the six battalions of Navar rese that have entered Arragcm. Lord John Hay had an interview this evening with Colo nel Wylde. It is as: noosed that both those British officers will • • , c 1 to l proceed speedily la c ,,:e.galette. A sort of rumour, founded perhaps on conjecture, seems to arise now that Don Carlos, finding the revolted provinces surrounded by different troops, would be glad to make terms, beb,:e lie be reduced to the lowest ebb. Therevolted provinces, as it is ;Tell are suffering dreadfully, not only from contributions and toiTcd loans, hilt from the stoppage of industry and commerce. The harvest is also stated to have failed in several places. The Carlists also apprehend the loss of the province of Guipuscoa where the people are anxious for peace. The opinion that the war would long since have been extinguished if the French Government acted fairly, in not secretly abetting the Carlists, is repeated on all sides ; but now it is suspected that Louis Phillippe sees the futility of his schemes, and will allow Don Carlos to retire. as The object of Colonel NV)lde's visit is said to be to have an interview with General Evans, and as the latter is ex pected to-morrow at Portugalette, Colonel Nyylde will, it is supposed, proceed immediately thither. The merchant vessel Jupiter has arrived with the last of the horses for the Lancers. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.—WC had two. new pieces, and a new performer, on Saturday evening. The first was an opera (the music by Mercadante) adapted to the English stage by Mr. Le Jeune. It is entitled No Plot without flan. ger, and is founded on the Italian opera of Eliza e Claudio. As a drama, it is one of the most meagre and uninteresting pro ductions that was ever spun out to the length of three acts. The second novelty was a farcetta by Dr. rdillengen, entitled The Schoolmaster at Home. It is a lively pleaSant trifle, turning on the circumstance of Captain Ernest (Wrench), a very youthful hussar, having saved, in the sacking of some un nami:d village in Germany, the life of an almost infant boy, as he supposes. He places his protege under the care of Putofir ( Williams), the village schoolmaster, whose wife immediately , discovers that the boy is a girl. Years roll by, and the Cap tain most unexpectedly calls on the domini for the restitution of his male charge. Putrjr knows not what to do. He fears that the Captain will cut off his ears, at least, if he asseverates that the child left with him was a girl, and not an animal of the masculine gender. His endeavour to get out of the difficulty is productive of some well-acted comic scenes. The Captain, however, after much laughable confusion, is happy to behold in the child whom he had saved - from destruction a delightful girl, whom he had met and fallen in love with at a neighbour ing town. He had rescued her from destruction when a child, and he now determines gallantly to protect her for life as a hus band, a prop os i t i on to w hi c h s h e w illi ng l y assents. Th e acting ' of W;lliams, as the old schoolmaster, was excellent. Miss P. Horton enacteg the boy-girl very well; and the farcetta ter minated amidst the iteral applause of the a u di ence . • -,r ' •,r PA ALIAM PAPERS COUNTY RATES. . . - In a preliminary - Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire respecting County Rates,Ave see that one of the most important subjects which 'has first engaged their attention is the expenditure in Prosecutions. it is ascertained that for mOre than forty years past, there has been a - large and constantly progressive increase in that expenditure. It appears, too, that &rig increase is in a much greater ratio than that of the population. Thus, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, we find that in 1814, with a population of 600,000, there was an expenditure in prosecutions of 2,8231. 4s. In 1824 the populati on was 831,074, having increased 381- per cent. ; tha cost of proseeu tions'lo,lsol., having increased 2591' per cent. In 1834 the population was 960,000, having increased 151 per cent. ; and the cost of prosecutions 13,7271, having increased 351- per cent.- Th e augmentation of e - xpenditure is chiefly owing to the increase in the number of prosecutions, which, as well as the general expenditure,, is in a much greater ratio than that of the population, and partly to an increase of the outlay in each case, individually considered. With respect to the actual average expense of an assize pro secutionthroughout the country, it amounts, so far as vve'have been able hitherto to arrive at a precise result, to about 191. and varies in different counties from 151. to 50/. The cost of a prosecution at the county quarter sessions may be stated on an average at 71. 10s., and varies in different counties from 31. to 131. HUNTINGDONSHIRE FAGOT VOTES A very large portion of the expense of prosecutions, and that which is most capable of economical regulation, consists of the charges for conveying witnesses to the place of trial, and their loss of time, maintenance, and other expenses there during the period of the assizes and sessions. "In connexion with this fact, we have noticed with great interest, the cir cumstance that in those cases where an offence is cognizable. in a court of local jurisdiction, and prosecuted there, the, costs of the proceedings are always found to be comparatively light. Thus from Leeds we have a Return which proves that offen ces prosecuted in the borough courts are tried at an average expense of 4/. as. Gd., while the charge for prosecuting an offence committed at Leeds, .and tried at the' York As sizes, may fairly may be stated on an average at 501. The point, however, is best illustrated by the Returns we have obtained from the exempt jurisdictions throughout the country. These towns arc privileged to try in their own courts exclusively, the ordinary offences committed within their precincts, but send their capital felonies to be tried at the assizes ; and it appearg by the Returns, that a prosecution of the former class costs the town on an average 51. Bs. Gd. only, and one of the latter 191." Further on the Commissioners report, that "the principle of trying offences on the spot by an ambulatory criminal court, has been subjected to an experiment in the West Riding of Yorkshire, where the quarter sessions are held at Doncaster in January, at Pontefract in April, at Skipton and Bradford in June, and at Leeds and Sheffield in October. At the latter place it has further been found advisable to hold interme diate sessions by adjournments, one between Michaelmas and Christmas, and the other between Christmas and Easter. The only expense occasioned by this arrangement, has been in the attendance of the clerk of the peace, and in the taking over the prisoners from the house of correction at 'Wakefield, the costs of which, however, is inconsiderable, as they are carried in a caravan containing at the same time twenty persons. The saving in the expenses of a prosecution thus c on d uc t e d on th e spot, hat been shown to be nearly one half, while at the same time the personal convenience of prosecutors, witnesses and jurors, generally persons in business, has been greatly pro moted." They adopt the principle that " crime should, in its pecu niary consequences, be a local burthen," and are therefore in direct opposition to the plan in contemplation of throwing upon the general revenues of the country the whole or part of the expenses of prosecution at the assizes and sessions. Referring to some petitions from the counties of Stafford and Warwick, which state that thefts of a trivial nature, and committed under a given age, should not be triable as or sub ject to the consequences of felonies, the Commissioners hold it to be a dangerous refinement, having a tendency to confound moral diStinctions ; the difference between mere trespasses and larceny, or wrongful appropriation of property, is not accidental and technical but real and essential; disgrace will unavoidably and unalterably attach to dishonesty and not to mischief. The distinction of petty larceny existed till lately in our law, but has been justly exploded, the value of an article stolen fur nishing no criterion of moral guilt. The deplorable consequences of imprisoning a young and first offender in a felon's gaol may be remedied, the Report states, by avoiding commitment before trial, by bailing such off.inders to their friends, and to dispose of their cases with the least possible delay, but according to the regular forms of justice, and to give the judge a power of sentencing them to confinement or correction in penitentiaries, without a previous imprisonment in a common gaol ; or this might be accom plished upon the plan of local trials. The Commissioners have suspefftied their Report on many topics connected with the subject of prosecutions, such as the inquiry into the receipt and appropriation of fees hitherto re ceived, and the preparation of new tables of fees, proper to be taken throughout the country, till the Returns called for can be received. It is the same with the consideration of the expediency of the abolition or consolidation of certain offices, and the solution of the question whether the payment of minis terial officers had better be by salary or fees. CONVEYANCE.—The head of expense, " Conveyance of Prisoners," has increased from 1792 to 1832, 525 per cent ; yet it'most probably does not include the cost of the removal of prisoners from one gaol to another to take their trial, or undergo their punishments, as the Commissioners have ascer tained that such expense is frequently included (where it could very little be looked for) under the head Houses of Correc tion " Allp' ress, John jun Blott, William, j un . ~ Arundell, John Brinier Barber, Thomas Abbott, Thomas Biden, Henry Lloyd Beck, James Osborne Brooks, George Beard, Robert Baxter, Thomas Bell, Leonard • Beavour, John Bates, John Blackwell, William Brown, Thomas Blackwell, Joseph Beetles, William *Berkeley Rowland Betts, James- . *Berkeley, Miles Joseph Broker, Benjamin . *Berkeley, William Brown, Richard *Berkeley, Maurice Henry Those marked thus * were made by Charles Paul Berkelel Steward to the Earl of Westmoreland.

In Sussex and Somerset it is said that large sums might be saved under this head of expenditure. One instance, calculated to show'the operation of the pre sent system, is selected from the Return from the former county. When the Assizes for the county of Sussex are to be held at Lewes, prisoners committed for trial at the Assizes must be sent to the common or Sheriff's gaol at Horsham, 25 miles ; they arc brought hack to Lewes fur trial, 25 miles ; being sentenced to death or imprisonment, they are returned to Iforshara gaol, 25 miles; and if the punishment be com muted for imprisonment, they are returned to Lewes House of Correction, 25 miles, making four times 25, or 100 miles, tra velled by such prisoners at the expense of the county. The luaolivenieupc is the same in the case of transports, who are of necessity sent to the common gaol, though in the opposite di rection to the port on the coast where they are intended to embark. With reference to " ALLOWANCES TO DISCHARGED P RI . SONERS ON ROUTE" to their settlement by vagrant passes, some curious information is furnished : " In the Durham treasurer's account for 1833, it is said, The number of discharged prisoners passing through this county last year, under Vagrant passes, does not fall short of 1,000.' A grea t p ar t o f t h em are di sc h arge d from Coldbath fields, B r i x t on , an d other southern prisons ; they commit a c t s of vagrancy, get sent to prison, on their discharge claim a pass to a pretended settlement in a northern county, and traverse the length of England at 1,141. per mile for adults, and Id. for children; so, south from llorpoth to Cornwall and Somerset. In the examination of the treasurer for the West Riding of Yorkshire, he states that he has known instances of cads coming down to th e Y or k s hi re h orse- f a i rs w h o h ave got peop l e to take them up, and send them to gaol, where they have been` for a day or two, a hen the gaol being fullthey have been discharged, got a route-pass, and have gone to Northallerton at the ex pense of the county."—[ Here we see a humane provision scan dalously abused.] On the subject of " VALUATIONS," the Report admits the undeniable hardship of charging on the realty all the expenses attending the invasion of personal property; but the Commis sioners, at the same time, state that it is impossible to raise a fund by taxing other kinds of property, and that the anTicul turists must seek and will find relief fro m thi s bonbon b e ; new and periodical valuations : During the last year there has been an increase in the Methodistbody of 423 in Ireland, of 4,618 abroad, and a decrease of 951 in Great Britain, leaving a net increase of 4,090. TIIE DUBLIN AUDIENCE.—TiIe visitors of the galleries in the Dublin. and indeed all the Irish theatres, differ in conduct from the natives of any other country. They single out individuals whom they know in pit or boxes, and keep up a fire of interrogatories by no means pleasant, and not always decorous. On one occasion a Mr. C----, a wine -merchant, about whom some delicate affair was then murmured, was in the pit : a lad in the gallery began to inquire of Mr. C—, " How's Mrs. So-and-so, Mr. C—? Why wouldn't you bring her along wid you, Mr. ?" Sze. &c. Mr. C-- bore this for some time with great good humour, but Pe' .. last rose and said, " As the gentleman wishes to have with me, will so me o f ye j ust t h row h i m over then we shall be abl e t o converse at cur the pit, and a chat SHOCKING ACCIDENT AUTION TO SER VANTS —On Friday evenig, between six and seven o'clock, the following shocking aceidout Occurred to a remarkably fine young woman, of thQ "Arne of Elizabeth Hills, 18 years of age, a ser . vant:giri, Zq tha employ o f M r.

COMMITTAL OF AN ENSIGN FOR HOR:iE STEALINd.—Mn Saturday, et the Brentford Petty Sessions, Frederick Robins on , f ormer l y E ns i gn in the 9th Regiment of Foot, and who stated himself to be the only son of Lieut.- Qerieriti Sir Frederick Robinson, Bart, late Governor of the island of Tobago, was charged with horse stealing. Mr.. J. Wa rner , b as k et maker, of King-street, Hamm ersmith, stated that on Th urs d ay morning, about six o'clock, the pri ,soncr Qiiirio to. his residence, accompanied by the ostler of' the 'Chaise and Horses public-house, and stated that he had Chat morning come up with the Hampshire waggon, the driver of which had lost his bill of parcels at Hounslow, and reqtiested a horse to go back and find it. Witness agreed to let him have one for Bs., the prisoner promising to return as soon as p oss ibl e, b ut h e did not come back with the animal. Other w i t nesses proved that the prisoner endeavoured to sell the horse the same evening to a man named Taylor, at the Crown public house, Gunnersbnry-place, near Brantf or d, where h e was taken into custody by policeman Pascoe, of the T division. On the first examination, on Friday evening, the priso ner stated h i mself to be the only son of Sir F. Robin son, Bart., Li eutenant-General of the 59th Regiment of Foot, whose town residence was in Portman-square, but who was at present At Paris. Ile also told a most contradictory ac count of his brine- purchased the horse at Tattersall's for 251., which he had reeeived from his cousin, the Rev. Mr. Cross, of Thornborough, in Gloucestershire ; but • lie simply denied the facts, saying he had say. H a h a d not gem , • Bsitte_ • • "in both Lancashire and Yorkshire, owing in part to the praiseworthy liberality of the great commercial towns, the new Valuation has been well received: throughout she county and riding respectively, and no appeals have been brought against it ; the re4ult is, that Leeds, in Yorkshire, where a new Villil4- tion has taken place, nneasicris to the riding 44 e4pcn.s of 2,9471., and contributd .1,0721., while Birmingham, in War wiekshire, where there has been no new Valtttign, fnrni:lheg about three-fourths of the presocutkns, and contributes little pore than one-fourth of the rent. Thia ineltiality is explained when we perceive that in WarWickshire the arnoml; levied upon the land for Poor , s Rata and County Rate in 1833 was 107,144 18s., and upon mills and faotoFie4 not more than 2,7201.

TO THE EDITOR OF.THE SUN. SlR,—The Tory journals have, week after week, written much that is untrue respecting what they call the Fagot Votes of Huntingdonshire„ If they. had known anything of the po litical history of this county, they would never have agitated a question which has involved their party in . so much odium and disgrace. The Tories of Huntingdonshire, indeed, to talk about Fagot' Votes! They, who kept this county in vassalage for years by Fagot Votes alone ! They, who rejected Lord John Russell by a majority of 53, entirely and exclusively corn posed of Fagot Votes !! If shame gad they bad not shaken hands and parted, they never could have attempted to deceive the public on this subject. The votes at Hertford were unso. lieited by and unknown to the Duke of Bedford, purchased of a Mr Butt. The purchase-money was really paid, and the rents are duly received. The Tories have made hundreds of votes in this county, for which not a farthing consideration was ever paid, nor a sixpence in the shape of rent or annuity ever re ceived !!

(Before Lords BROUGHAM, LYNDHURST, the Earl of DEVON, and other Peers.) JUDGMENTS. This morning Lord BROUGHAM came down at half-past eleven, to deliverjudgment, in the following cases, some of which had been heard a considerable time since, and had lain over for consideration ; and others under instructions to the parties with rezpect to points of reference, &c. THE HON. ROBERT KING, V. HAMLET. This was an appeal from a decision of Lord Brougham when he held the great seal, in which the e_ppellant's bill was dismissed, and an injunction which had been previously granted by the Court on his behalf, dissolved. Lord LYNDHURST to-day gave judgment. He said that lie had attended carefully to the argument at their Lord ships' bar ; that since then he had read over the elaborate judgment of his Noble and Learned Friend, who had de cided the case in the Court below, and he perfectly con curred that his Noble and Learned Friend had come to a right conclusion. His Lordship then recommended the House to affirm that judgment. Lord BaouoHam•--,-What is to be done with respect to costs ? Lord LYNDHURST then made some inquiries as to what bad been done by the Court of Chancery wits respect to the injunction, and the costs of the cause, and after a few further remarks between the two Noble and Learned Lords, the judgment was affirmed without costs. BUSHE V. LOCKE. Lord BROUGHAM stated, that in :his case, which had been heard in the early part of the last session before him and Lord Wynford,' there had been a doubt expressed by th a t Learned Lord whether the judges could properly be called - on . to decide the qu,'stions involved in it, that it was in fact a question of equity and not of law, and it had been so' treated in the Court of Chancery. by the Learned Lord wit, presided at the argument, and who had never thought th case 'was a proper one to be sent for the opinion of a court `. of law. The case had been affirmed in the existing session by their Lor&hips, and in consideration of the doubts exist , . . • s--- a in th , .' been pursui.l, he could not recommend their Lordships to add with costs, as the case would not properly admit of it under the circumstances.— Judgthent affirmed without costs. THE EARL OF BANDON V. H. R. E. BEECHEY % Lord BROUGHAM said, tht.t as he had stated t,is views very fully when this case was last argued before their Lord ships, he should not feel it necessary to enter at present at any length into the particulars of it. Their Lordships might recollect that there were two points on which the case appeared to turn, on one of which he had already declared that he had no doubt, and the other required time for in quiry and consideration. Since then he had had a commu nication With the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, from whose court this - case came by appeal, and obtained from him an • account of the reasons on which he had decided that branch of the case. He did not mean to say that this was a case entirely free from doubt ; but, on the whole, he was of opinion that judgment should be affirmed, holding as he did the opinion that a court of appeal ought never to reverse a decree unless it was quite confident that the judgment' given in the court below was wrong. It did - not fol low, howevcr, that in the present case costs ought to given, and he should advise their Lordships aceort no l y. _ Judgm en t affirmed withont cos t s . • HOGGAN V. RANIiP.N.

DARING BURGLARY AND A ROBBER SHOT.— On Wednesday morning, about one o'clock, Mint-house, Chip stead, Suirey, occupied by two widow ladies, Mesdames Long and Schofield, was attacked by a gang of burglars. The ladies were alarmed by the continual barking of ' the dog, and Captain Rankest, nephew to Mrs. Long, on being made ac quainted with the fact, gave it as his opinion that poachers were about. He got out of his bed, and opening his window, spoke to the dog, who still barked loudly. Mrs. Long then returned to her bed, when she heard a tap at the window. She again jumped out of bed, and looking out of the window asked who was there. She then saw a man raise a stick and smash several panes of glass, and the window frame ; he next' made three desperate blows at the window; on making the last, Mrs. Long caught hold of the stick, exclaiming " Oh, you villain !" She wrested unsuccessfully for some time, and then received a blow with the stick which cut her head severely. The stake, in descending, also bruised and cut her hand. She then, raised the cry of thieves being in the house, when Captain Ranken, seizing his cutlass, ran into the ladies' room ; the fellow was at the outside of the window with a fold stake shoved into the room. 4 Captain Ranken made four ruts at the fold-stake ; the fellow drew back, when, advanc ing to the window, Captain Ranken made a cut at the thief, who, drawing back, descended toe ladder. Mrs. Long, while Captain • Ranken guarded the breach, then fetched up his fowling-piece from below. The Captain fired in the direc tion of the robbers, which repulsei them for half an hour. They returned, and, bursting open the front door, went into the two parlours, which they ransacked, and took awP:, „ number of articles. In about half an hour they heard to say, " Now, let us go up stairs."

Captain Ranken, in the meantime, had taken his position on the left of the stair case door, where he was unperceived by the thieves. The ladies were imploring mercy of the robbers, when presently the ringleader said, " Now for it," and with his foot smashed in the lower pcnels and styles, when Captain Ranken fell on his right knee, and thrust his piec e incites of the robber's right brep to within three charge entered thn • he staggered, and and fired—the whole of the fell ;. . rightbreast; _ ....o the arms of two of his comrades, who immediate, - decamped with their mortally wounded companion.

There was a much better demand in t'ae early part of this week than durinf; ',int of tho,:receeding, and the market promised in :ip-, peara"..ee some improvement; but Aie operations, since Tuesday, the evident disposition cn the part of the trade to continue only to buy sparingly for the present, have checked the favourable symp tom, and we remain much in the same state as at the close of last week.

There has been a good demand for yarn to- day, and upon some sorts the spinners are asking an advance ; b u t th e manu facturers are unwilling t o com ply - , as they do not see their way clear for obtaining a corresponding return, Business has been very lifeless the whole of the 'week in the wool market ; still the dullness seems to have scarcely any influence upon prices.

CORN EXCHANGE. The past, week's arrival of Wh eat was considerable, and of other Grain moderate, and th e t ra d e t h roughout the V:cek w as very d ull for all articles. This morning there has been another large sup. ply of Wheat, chiefly new, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk ; also, a good quantity of now Barley and Beans, but of Hats the arrival continues Moderate. At the early part of the market the millers purchased the few superfine sample of Wheat that appeared, at the same terms.a,s this day se'nnight ; the trade afterward: became dull, and' no-clearance of other qualities coon be made without submitting to a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter from last Monday's terms. Barley is also rather lower. New Beans arc dull, and hardly maintain last quotations. Pease of both sorts are un ,n om lied. The Oat trade is firm for good parcels, but light Irish are again cheaper. The arrival of Flour continues short, owing to want o. water to grind, and the prices are in consequence sup. ported. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Nheat, Red (old) 36i. , Pls. Beans, Small (new)......
