The letter for Ireland signed " Verax" has been received. We are very doubtful whether its publication would do much good but, at all events, we cannot give it to the public until we know the authority on which the statements contained in it rest. Our Bakewell Correspondent's letter shall be attended to on Mon day. In the mean time we may say that we believe the inter ference of Peers in Elections is entirely a question of privilege, to be settled between the two Houses of Parliament.

GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authes: + v and under guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the publith, that the 65th Lottery of 10,008 Tickets will be drawn on the 18th of March next ; and Tickets are now selling at 103 marks banes, or V. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 59,000, lof 30,000, 1 of 20,0 00 , 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 10e.t marks, whieh 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated ;n marks baneo, and payable without any &Auction whatever ; 4,000 ticketsbeing delivered gratis to the holders of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, those purchasing one ticket, at the trilling cost of 81., may obtain three prizes, and thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks baneo, at the present exchange, equal to 13,000/. sterling. Owing to tit* poutis-tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, so t:_sat, of course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present first price of 81., are requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con tractors, He . : , le Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 101. note will reeei7 o an order for the balance of 21., together with the ticket, by return of mail; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable information, being always sent with the ticatets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, or stating the mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and /giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur ohas;:ig, may depend en the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a e h aLe e Dr getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the old-establitthed and most lucky Office.

The Chamber of Peers continues to sit as a judicial court, on the trial of the prisoners incarcerated for poli tical offences, but its proceedings have ceased to excite more than paviing attention. The principal topics discussed in the Parisian journals is the late rebellion in andtiCe probable fate of the Tory Administra tion in this country. The rebellion in Madrid,and the way in which the Government allowed it to terminate, THE XIN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1835. bid fair to become endless subjects of admiration and censure in these journals. It is now conjectured that the, revolt of the 2d regiment was but a preliminary step to that , o . f the whole army in Madrid—that a con spiracy had been set on foot among the entire troops, which was first to show itself in the open revolt of the regiment, of all others, least liable to the suspicion of entertaining treasonable designs—the volunteers of Arragon : but that the remaining regiments of conspi ratorS were deterred from joining them, either because they conceived the Government still possessed means sufficient to put them down ; or that they dreaded that they had been betrayed by their confreres in guilt ; or that seeing the lenity with which the Government was disposed to treat their guilty companions from the very commencement, they repented the breach of duty into which they had been betrayed. Unless this was the case, and the ramifications of the conspiracy had extended in every direction, it is hardly possible to believe that a handful of soldiers, not exceeding 500 men, without provisions, without ammunition, and with out money, would have openly declared them selves at war with a Government, in the very ca pital, which they knew to be garrisoned with 8,000 troops, besides large bodies of Urban Militia, and a population so large that the very children would be sufficient to stone them to death. Neither is it pro bable that the Government would have stooped to the degradation of granting an amnesty to such men, after first murdering a General Officer, on whatever terms it pleased them to propose—having all the means above enumerated at its disposal for instantly crushing them—unless it had first ascertained that the garrison was not to be trusted. In the debate which followed in the. Chamber of Procuradores, LLAUDER defended the rebels from the charge of murdering General CANTERAC ; and in answer to a question from TRUEBA, requesting to know to whom did the Minister of War attribute the murderous act, sia.ted that the perpetrators were Carlists who had not been discovered. Now this was instantly known to be an arrant falsehood s and the Chambarsignified as much ; but LLAUDER considers himself personally insulted by any reflection on the conduct of the army, and resents it accordingly. We perceive that some of the Journals do not scruple to recommend to the Spanish Govern , ment, a breach of its engagement to the rebels, and that as soon as they are fairly in the power of the proper authorities, they ought to be made prisoners, and subjected to military punishment. A gainst this infernal policy we enter our protest. The Govern ment, having given a promise, is bound by every tie that is sacred, and every maxim that is safe, to fulfill it in the spirit in which it was received. The grant ing the amnesty might have been a grievous error in the first place, but there is now no means of retract- ing it. `We have received intelligence from Lisbon to the 17th inst. Great preparations were then being made for the reception of the Duke of LEUCHTENBERG. A programme of the procession was published, which differed in no material part from the order for the marriage of the QUEEN by proxy on the Ist of Decem ber. On the 15th a disgraceful quarrel occurred between Major-General Sir J. M. DOYLE and Brigadier- General BACON, which formed the subject of much conversation in Lisbon. The old dissensions between these officers, which lay dormant for several Months past, by reason of the express command of the late Emperor Don PEDRO, broke out afresh, in conse -0,...--,ce of Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE having made some eim. r es against General BACON and Colonel SHA w, in a pet: lion which was referred by the Mi nister of War to th-6 t llhambers. his so provoked Brigadier-General BACON, t Lat onstneeting Sir J. M. DOYLE, he struck him with a stick. The following is Major-General DOYLE'S account of the t,...-^nsaction, as stated in his letter to Brigadier-General GA:..!A Los°, which we here insert : " Lisbon, Jan. 15. " Most Excellent Sir,—l beg leave to report the following circumstance, which occurred this day at 2f p. In. in the Rua Arsenal, near to the door of Mr. Goold, apothecary. " I was quietly riding by the above-named gentleman's house, unaccompanied, when I was met by Brigadier-General Bacon, who approached me and made use of the following lan guage:—" So, you damned infernal old scoundrel, you are still making recrementos about me?' I replied, General Bacon, I have nothing to do with you; I shall make what recrementos I like, without consulting you, and I am determined the law shall take its course;' with this General Bacon immediately raised his hand, having it in an immense black Brazil wood stick, with which he attempted to break my head, and which blow, having only a small whip in my hand, I luckily parried, but my hat was knocked off, and the blow fell on my arm, which is much bruised. Of course, after this ruffian-like proceeding, I raised my whip, and endeavoured to use it, but its small size, when compared with General Bacon's mur derous weapon, gave him the advantage. I called the Arsenal Guard to assist me, but they not obeying the call, General Bacon galloped off. " I have now to request that your Excellency will give the necessary directions, in order that the proper authorities may be aware of this proceeding, and the requisite steps taken to prevent its recurrence, and that Brigadier-General Bacon may be instantly placed under arrest, and brought to a public trial for this act so contrary to the laws, both civil and military, in all civilized countries. I am, &c., " J. M. DO YLE, Major-General. " His Excellency Brigadier-General Gama Lobo, &c." - - In order to afford all parties a fair opportunity of being heard, we give Brigadier-General BACON'S account of :he affair, being the substance of a letter written by him to the Times' correspondent at Lisbon : _ _ _ - - - " Some fqur months since I mot Sir J. M., and told him, in presence of many people, that ic he dared to make any more use of my name, my promise to the Emperor not to flog him mild be cancelled, and that I would take an oppor tunity of flogging him publicly. Last Saturday I heard from good authority that lie had 'presented a petition to the Cortes demanding a court-martial on me. Yesterday was the first time I met him, close to the Arsenal, on horseback. I rode up to him, and reminded him of my promise, and I then hit him over the back ; he attempted to return it with a brass mounted whip which he had, as was natural enough.. After giving him what I considered sufficient punishment, I knocked his: hat off, and himself on to his horse's neck. He then dis mounted, and called for the guard, and I rode off and left him. I have waited at home for him until this minute (three o'clock), and as he has not called me out, I conclude he means to submit tamely to his disgrace. I send you this, that you may know the truth. Many people were present ; but as he is in the habit of inventing so many lies, it is well you should know the case' as it took place—i. e., if you require it. " Yours as ever, " A. BACON. " No. 7, Ruas das Gavias, Jan. 16. 4 " " I just hear, that after being thrashed he went into an apothecary's shop to have his back examined, and to get a certificate of his injuries, and has been collecting witnesses. I shall give him to to-morrow to retrieve his reputation." All this is very disgusting to the public. On the Ist of December the Chamber of Peers, of the Kingdom of Portugal, unanimously agreed in a vote of thanks to Admiral NAPIER for his heroic and brilliant victory off Cape St. Vincent. The convey ance of the vote was entrusted by the Chamber to the Duke of PALMELLA,* who transmitted it to the Gal lant Admiral, with a letter expressive of his hearty concurrence in the Chamber's appreciation of his meri: s • A pomp i t " On the vacating of seats in Parlia ment on the - cceptence of office," from the pen of the Marquis of NOR :".!lAMP"birt has just made its ap- Ot WitilOOt iroyest at the pearance. The, subject is present moment, and has already tek:7l' subizateel to the consideration of both Houses of °the Upper House by the Noble Marquis himself, and to the Lower by Sir ROBERT HERON. But as the question did not seem to be thoroughly understood, either by the Hon. Baronet who introduced it, or by the House that discussed it, the Noble Author has determined (in our opinion wisely) to make the public acquainted with its real merits through the press. This task he performs with considerable ahility and laudable fairness. He has a decided opinion of his own, and he endeavours to support that opinion by arguments, to some of which we are not dis Posed to attribute much weight ; but he does not ke:y out of view, nor shrink from combating, the atguments on the other side. He says what- he has to say, frankly, clearly, and precisely, scorning the unworthy artifices resorted to by those who involve themselves in a cloud of un meaning or ambiguous words, be . cause they entertain designs which they have not the manliness to avow. In the arrangement of his materials the Marquis deprives himself of none of the advantages which can be derived from a strict adherence to method. He begins by stating his proposition, that the present practice of vacating seats on the acceptance of office is injurious to the public interest, and ought to be discontinued. He then enumerates in detail the objections which may be made to this proposition, which objections are afterwards briefly sumnEd ul) in the following manner " First, the delay which it in , Nitablv and uniformly inter poses to the action of the executive 'administration of the country ; a delay always injurious, generally arising at an inconvenient season, and possibly at a moment whln it may be peculiarly perilous. Secondly, the difficulty of obtaining a seat for a Minister if rejected , by his former constituents, a difficulty greatly increased by . the Reform Bill. Thirdly, that it interposes a check to the Crown, noel entirely need less, and therefore mischievous, operating - , frequently, when the Government is weakest, never when it is strongest, and acting, not against abuses, but against an exercise of the prerogative, which cannot possibly lie dormant. Fourthly, that it has a tendency absolutely to deprive the public of the services of statesmen, whose abilities may be indispensable, at the moment, to the interest and prosperity of the Empire. Fifthly, the great and unnecessary vexation and expense to which it exposes official men ; its consequent tendency to prevent poor men of talents from entering into the public service, and to give to wealth an undue monopoly of the go vernment of the country. Sixthly, the occasion it creates for improper disclosures and unadvised pledges from single members of the Ministry, together with all the re-action which a fear of these evils may produce. And, lastly, the probability that it will often be the occasion of two other 'consequences equally undesirable. In the first place, it may give, to a person who is popular with his constituents, the influence which ought rather to belong to the person who is popular with the empire in general ; thus bestowing power, not on the man most able to serve his country, but on the man who has succeeded best in pleasing a single, perhaps a small community. In the next place, it may have the effect of introducing an undue number of Peers into the Cabinet." These objections are then considered seriatim, after which follows a short, hurr:cd, and very superficial examination of the plan adopted in the French Chamber of Deputies, and proposed by Mr. BULWER, by which the holders of certain oliees are allowed to speak, but not to vote. We arc sorry that our limits do not allow us to enter into the discussion of the subject to-day, but we . shall probably examine some of the Noble Marquis's arguments at a more convenient season. We cannot, however, close 'this article with out adverting to the notice which the • Noble Author has been pleased to bestow on The Sun. At page 32 we find the following note : " The Sun says, the parties likely to join the Ministry with a certainty of being -returned, we have 'heard the names of Mr. Tennyson, Sir H. Parnell, Mr. Abercrom bie, Lord Ebrington, Mr. Robinson; &c. 84c.' mentioned. To give strength to the Government, Lard Grey could not select more worthy and liberal men.' Ido not blame the newspaper, but the law, for mentioning their certainty of being returned' in the first instance—their worth and lib: ality afterwards. We do not blame Horace for saying ' V;rtus post minunos.'" Upon this we shall only xe:nark, that he who infers from the mere relative position of these two sentences that we meant to represent the " certainty of being re turned" as a qualification for office superior to " worth and liberality," is by no means an adept in logic, and that if the meaning of a writer is to be subjected to this rule of position, the point of the satirical observation contained in the quotation from Horace would be entirely lost. Extract of a letter from Canton, dated August 19 : " The British trade is at present stopped, as Lord Napier will not obey the order of the Vice- Roy to leave Canton." It is the general opinion, however, that all will go on as usual in a few days. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CK. CITY --Y, , 7' It' EI, V E 0' CI, 0 By the Hector, arrived at Liverpool, accounts have been received from Bombay to the 3d October. Cotton still main tained its high price. A private letter states (dated 30th September)—" in Bengal, the last crop appears to have been much exaggerated ; instead of being from 40,000 to 50,000 bales more than the previous crop, up to the 6th inst. the whole shipment to China was only 25,350 bales, against 63, bales, in 1833 ; and it appears there is no cotton to complete the vessels loading." The Indian Chief has arrived from Demerara, with papers to the 17th of December. The colony still continues in a very disturbed state. and every kind of produ ce is risin g , and the nogroes work less or more, according to their own will. A memorial is going to be presented to the Colonial Secre tary ; it is signed by upwards of 1,100 planters, proprietors and others interested in the wulfiiro of British Guiana, who complain of the imprudent, agitating, and unwise system of improvement. Bombay papers received at the No:th and South American Coffee-house to the 2d of October, state that a Government Gazette Extraordinary contains Several new commercial regu lations, regarding the trade of the Presidency, having horn passed by the Governor-General of Iddia, and are now the law of the land. These regulations have been published in the Bom bay papers eight weeks ago. Canton Papers have been also received at the North and South American Coffee house to tho ;zd of J u ly their con tents are not of importance. Our arrivals this morning are a French mail, and one from Lisbon—sailed on the 18th, with the express from Paris.

The Earl of Aberdeen returned to town yesterday, from Hatfield, Herts, the residence of the Marquis of Salisbury. Earl Jersey arrived in town on Thursday night. Earl de Grey's grand entertainment to day in St. James's-square, is not a Cabinet dinner, though it is probable some Members of the Administration will be present. The Earl of Minto, the late Minister at the Court of Berlin, with his Countess and family, are gone to Minto Castle, his Lordship's seat in Roxburghshire. .The Noble Earl's eldest son is pursuing his studies at Oxford University. A public dinner was given to his Lordship's brother, the Hon. Captain Elliot, a secretary to the Admiralty, on Tuesday last, at Kelso, by his friends and supporters.

The Marquis of Granby is about to leave, to resume his studies at Oxford, and subsequently his Lordship will make the grand tour. The coming of age of the young Marquis will be commemorated by great rejoicings on the Noble Duke's estates next year. 'We have a file of Boston papers, which state that Francis Ruez, the pirate, continued in a state of derangement, had become very much emaciated, and kept the whole prison awake by his incessant outcries. Mr. Cooledge, the Keeper, had been slightly wounded by him whilst conveying some, ar ticles from his apartment, and the same afternoon he had smashed to atoms the window-sash of his cell. The rest of the pirates were greatly excited at his situation. The Dukes of Hamilton and Sutherland have sent in their adhesion to the present Ministry ; and all the Members whom they can influence in the House of Commons, will also support the Government. This puts an end to the expectations of the Opposition, if they were ever seriously entertained, that they would be able, successively, to oppose the election f Sir Charles Manners Sutton as Speaker ; to carry an amendment to the Address ; or to stop the supplies. Those were the three measures which the Liberals have announced their inten . tion to propose as trials of strength : if they persist, on all w they be most signally and triumphantly beaten. —York Chron. The friends of John Humphery, Esq., and D. W. Harvey, Esq., Representatives of the • Borough of Southwark have determined to unite in a dinner on Tuesday, the 17th o February, to celebrate the election of those two Reformers by the borough of Southwark, as the first Members returned to the ensuing Parliament. The dinner will be given at the New London Bridge Tavern, at the Southwark side of Lon don Bridge, lately erected by Mr. Humphery at an immense expense, the use of, which has been liberally given by that gentleman for the purpose. The assembly room is capable of accommodating four hundred persons at dinner. It will be handsomely fitted up and lighted, at the expense of Mr. Hum phery, for the occasion. All the Metropolitan Members will be invited, and it is , expected that this dinner, immediately previous to the meeting of Parliament will have a good effect. We have just learned that the large living in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury, vacated by the sudden death of Mr. Evelyn Sutton—St. Peter's, in the Isle of Thanet— is to be given to a Mr. Moore, whose great qualification is, that he is about to put one of Archdeacon Croft's daughters into the Church, by making her his "spouse." Another candidate is likewise in the field, a Mr. Salisbury, patronized by the great Tory 'Squire Captain Cotton, and who is allowed by the con sistent and judicious Bishop of London to be non-resident, from his living of St. Mary, Aldermanbury. We should like to know if Mr. S. is competent to the duties of a large parish like St. Peter's, how it is that for fourteen years his own parishioners have not had the benefit of his services ? We know that he is rich and independent ; consequently not on the list of Bishop Blomfield's poorer brethren, who will soon find a different measure meted to them. But another candidate is the Rev. Dr. Masters, the present curate, who has increased a congregation of forty to five hundred. But he is unfortu nately neither married, nor about to be marred, to a Bishop's or an Archdeacon's daughter. The word " Destructive," which has recently obtained currency. is often misapplied. We ask our renders who, in this and similar oases, are the Destrue fives ?—Morning Paper. THE KING'S THEATRE —We understand that this theatre will open towards the end of February, and that, in addition to the talent already secured by Mr. Laporte, in cluding Mademoiselle Grisi, Madame Taglioni, Signor Rubini, Monsieur Ivanoff, and Signor Lablache, other engagements are pending with various eminent artists.

A ni.an shortly afterwards made his appearance, proposing his son to fill the vacant situation. After a variety of questions had been answered satisfactorily, the final one was put—" What wages do you expect?"— " Why, Sir, I am not particular about that; as I should wish his services to be considered an equivalent to his being taught the business." His services were declined, Having the plea- . sure of knowing 4 little of the being in question, we were not su rprised at-the father embracing such an opportunity, but astonished at the refusal.—London Med. and Surgical Journal, It is currently reported in political circles likoly to be aware of the fact, that the immediate dispatch of Lord Fitzroy Somerset on a mission, having for Its object the termi nation of the civil contest in hipain, has been finally and fully resolved on.

SAFEGUARD AGAINST INFOIAMRS,—PenaI sta tops may ha necessary for the protection of , the revenue and police, but we aro surprised at the numerous convictions daily taking place at the public offices for the violation of the Excise, Stamp, and Turnpike Laws ; espeeially as every one engaged in the pursuit of either profit or pleasure might pro tect himself from the snares of the common informer by Pl l .ll curing so cheap a manual as the " Rook of Pe44s,t, Which is an excellent dige4t of thp pgptiatau penalties to which the - manufacturing ; trading, and professional classes are liable, On Wednesday night, between cloven and twelve o'clock, the following accident occurred to one of the carriage horses of General Alava, the new Spanish Minister, residing at No. 51, Portland-place :—lt appears the General's coach man, after setting down his master, on returning to the stablea \ in Queen Anne's-mews, Cavendish-square, with the carria g e, disengaged the horses from their harness, when one of them icy 4i0,0 the other with such yi9lenco qi to lweAli 44, til.igik77.it tiiip a o . eq sinc lithP4 gosst 4Act rtlleaS , Th° coliplulAil liras O'hiiggd'te'put a period to the existence of the suffering animal. STOPPAGE OF THE CHINA TRADE. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY) We copy the following from the Second Edition of Lc Times:— " By the Mangles, Captain Carr, which arrived at Cowes, Isle of Wight, on the 29th, a file of Canton papers to the 19th inclusive has been received, by which it appears that the Tea Trade had been suspended in consequence of Lord Napier having gone immediately to Canton instead of remaining at Macao, and asking permission to proceed further. The Hong merchants had consequently sent a notification to the English merchants, of which the following is an extract : " ' Now the refusal to receive the Government orders is disobediecce to the laws of the celestial empire. We are offi cial merchants, and in all public affairs must entirely and im plicitly obey and act up to the established laws. Since now your honourable officer will not act in obedience to the estab lished laws, we dare not hold commercial intercourse with the gentlemen of your honourable nation, and can only detail the circumstances in a full report to the great officers, that they may put a stop to buying and selling. " For this special purpose we write, we pray you to return an answer. This is what we have to impose on you. With compliments, £m" ' (The names of eleven Hong Merchants are subscribed.) The following was the answer : " 'TO THE HONG MERCHANTS. " ' Gentlemen,--We have received your letter of the 15th instant, and as it contains official matter over which we have no controul, the communication cannot be noticed beyond a mere acknowledgment thereof. " ' Canton, August. 16." " A meeting of the merchants had been summoned by Lord Napier, at which he laid before them the particulars of the transaction, and declared his intention not to comply with the order of the Governor to return to Macao, and expressed his full conviction that the matters would soon be amicably ar ranged. The Andromache and Imogene which I had ordered to sail on a short cruise,' continued Lord Napier, with a view of feeling the pulse of the Chinese, and that object has been attained, for they have since become more absolute, will soon return, and will operate, no doubt, on the Viceroy ; and when the merchants form themselves into, a Committee of Com merce, they will exhibit a more imposing attitude, and show the Chinese the advantages were not altogether on their side. If, however, it was thought necessary, his Majesty's ships should come up to Whampoa ; and, if their presence there was not sufficient protection, they should anchor under the walls of the town.' The Meeting then adopted resolutions for the formation of a Committee of Commerce " The private accounts do not refer to the above circum stance as of serious import, but, on the contrary, state that the conduct of the Governor had proceeded more from a desire to vindicate the honour of the country from so great an infringe ment of the laws,' than any hostility to the new arrangement, or the object of Lord Napier's mission." WAR WITH CHINA! From Nicholson's Commercial Gazette and China Register of this day.) Two o'clock. We have received letters this morning from China, dated the 23d of August last, stating that Lord Napier, the New Governor, had arrived, and that a rumpus had taken place between him and the Governor of Canton ; an embargo was immediately put on our ships, so that we shall be in a pretty state of confusion in the Tea Trade the next few months. Everybody now holds fast, and no price can be stated for any of the Company's Teas. We refer our readers to the accompanying extract from a private letter we have seen. (Extract of a letter from St. Helena, dated Dac. 17, 1834.) " A stop has been put to the trade on the part of the Chinese, in consequence of some misunderstanding between Lord Napier and the Viceroy of Canton, the former having persisted in remaining at that place instead of returning to Macao, and to await the usual permission, and also in having refused to make the Hong merchants the channel of communication between himself and the Chinese authori ties. " A General Meeting of British residents had take:-., place, at Which the measures adopted by Lord Napi e r had be . ,, n approved of.. " His Majesty's ships ' Andromache' and Imogene' were lying in the river, and Lord Napier had deell.red that he would not quit Canton except at the point of the I:;,tyonet. "6 This news will, of course ; 'nave a material influence upon the Tea Market, as all the VeF.els are detained. " The Mangles was the last ship'eleared out." Thus a total stop is put to our trade with China. We shall now have to open negotiations with the Emperor of China at Pekin, and a precious job it will be for our Ambassa dors, and the affair may last for years. We shall make a humble tender of our service to the Duke of Wellington in this critical affair. Three o'clock, p.m. We have been favoured by the sight of numerous letters from Canton, the latest date the 25th of August. Lord Napier, a sailor, has assumed a high tone with the Chinese Authorities, and, from the letters we have read, he appears to think he can do as he pleases with the Celestial Empire. Lord Napier his treated the Hong Merchants, and the distin guished officers at Canton, just in the same style as the Chinese Emperor treated Lord Amherst, the last Ambassador sent by the King of England ; and we guess his fate will be just the same as that of Lord Amherst. The English merchants at Canton are curious to know what his instructions are. Lord Palmerston is the man to tell us this ; but this we know, if the conduct of Lord Napier is regulated and autho rised by his instructions, we shall be in a state of war with China without the shadow of a doubt. We call upon the Duke of Wellington to look to this, for a sin gle day ought not to pass without the most effectual measures being adopted to rescue this country from its present critical position. We say, send out a few fast-sailing Frigates ; one may be most usefully employedin bringing home young Alacauley from India, and sending a man of talent and experience in his place, if wanted. We have not time to write a hundredth part of the information we have received. The next letters we receive will be from our own Correspondent, who would arrive at China on the 6th or 9th of September. PORTUGAL WINE TRADE. 1. The exportation of all wines of either margin of the Douro is allowed per the Foz, no matter what its quality may be. 2. The Douro wine is of two qualities—superior wine and second quality wine. 3. The superior wine exported per the Foz of th e D ouro will pay a duty of 8,000 milreis per pipe of 21 all - nudes, no matter the place where it may be destined. 4. The second quality wines will pay the same duties as are charged to the other Portuguese wines exported through other ports. 5. The qualification of the wine shall be effected at Oporto in the following manner :—The proprietor 0{ the wine shall name a person to taste the same, and the c o ll ec t or o f th e customs is to appoint another ; their opinion will determine whether the wine is to be charged for the duty as first or second quatity, and the Custom-house despatch will be made out accordingly. This being the last day of Hilary Term, the Loan CHAN CELLOR took motions to-day. His Lordship was occupied; whole morning with a pm-heard motion of " Fielding v. Smith, the object of which was to obtain the dissolution of an injunction. The facts of the case have already been before the public. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF. This case came before his HONO lin upon the petition of the relators on the second and third informations, which were filed for the purpose of • carrying into effect the charitable trusts of the will of the late Lord Craven. That Nobleman, after disposing of the greater portion of his property, gave the residue of his estates in the first place for the purpose of raising annually out of the rents and profits the sum of one hundred pounds, for the maintenance of four scholars at the Universities, two at Oxford, and two at Cambridge ; and the rest of the property was to go to the redemption of English Christian captives in Turkey and Bar bary. The latter part of the gift had become inoperative, in consequence of there now being no English Christian captives either in Turkey or Barbary. Such being the case, the informa tion was filed for the purpose of having the opinion of the Court as to the best manner to apply the fund. On the information coming on to be heard, a reference was made to the Master to approve of a scheme for the future regulation of the Charity, and he reported that there should be six scholars sent to the Universities instead of four, and that they should be allowed annually 501. in the place of 251. ; this course wus adopted, the expenses that had been incurred in consequence of the death of the trustees and relators had been paid out of the Charity Fund, and the object of the present petition was that the costs that had been subsequently incurred might be taxed and paid also out of the Charity Fund. his IloNou a, all parties consenting, made the order as prayed.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Lord WITARNCLIFF was this morning awcrn in as Lord Koepail o th© Privy Seal. WILMAR V. LYNN. This was an action brought by an upholsterer for goods sold and delivered, tried before the Sheriff of London, an in which a verdict was had for the plaintiff 121. 75.. 2d. A rule had been subsequently obtained by Mr. Godson callint on the plaintiff to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. Mr. GITNNING now appeared to show cause against the rule. Th question was whether the wife the defendant was authorised by him in ordering the goods, and the Learned Counsel contended that as the husband had recognised the agency of his wife in a for mer transaction with the plaintiff and had paid the bill, the plain tiff was justified in supposing that the defendant had recongnised her agency in the transaction which formed the subject of the pre sent action. Mr. GODSON replied. The Court observed that, from the evidence at the trial, the Learned . Counsel for the defendant should have insisted on his right to a non-suit. It was plain that there was collusion between the plaintiff and the defendant's wife, and that was a question which should have been submitted by the Learned Judge to the Jury.. .. . . liule for a new trial absolute. TENNANT V. FLETCHER. In this case the defendant had become insolvent, and had giver► to the plaintiff, his landlord, from whom he held a' farm at the yearly rent of 5421., a warrant of attorney to secure him in the payment of a year's rent, due at Lady-day, 1834. A rule had been subsequently obtained by Mr. RICHARDS calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the judgment entered on the warrant of attorney, and the sexeral write of execution tried out in the same, should not be set aside, and. why Thomas Gitton should not restore the goods and money levied under the said warrant, the same having been obtained from the defendant Fletcher, by fraud and misrepresentation, and als: 0 why the costs of the present action should not be paid by the sail; Thos• Git ton. Sir J. CAMPBELL now appeared to show cause against the rule, and submitted that the answer put into the charge of fraud and, misrepresentation, was so full and satisfactory, tbr t the Court coal not hesitate to discharge the rule. Mr. LEIGH was heard in support of tlr., rule. Lord DENMAN said the charge of liming obtained the warrant of attorney by fraud and misrepresentation, had been fully answered , and therefore the rule mils,t 'oe discharged, with costs. EXCHE.f4CER COURT-(THIS DAY. the sittings of the Court this morning, Lord ABINGER de" tivLred judgment in the ease of JONES V. WATERS. His LORDSHIP said, the plaintiff in the action was the bellinae appointed by the Corporation of Brecon, who claimed the privilege arising from such appointment, of making proclamation of all sales and auctions within the town. That privilege the defendant had invaded, which gave rise to the action. The Jury had found that the custom (upon which only the claim of the privilege could be held good) was well founded, and accordingly found for the plaintiff. The defendant had obtained a rule for a new trial, which had been very fully argued. The whole question turned upon the existence of the custom—that point had been settled by the Jury, and the Court saw nothing in the custom contrail to law. They could not see any thing in it contrary 9 law and reason, though there could be no doubt it had obtaineo before the art of printing had been thought of, or at all even before it had been brought to such perfection as it had now arrived at. They were of opinion that the appointment made by the Cor poration was good, and that of course the plaintiff had the exclu sive privilege claimed. The rule was therefore discharged. BRISCOE V. ROBERTS. The defendant in this cese had obtained a rule nisi for re e rnevillg the venue in this ease from Surrey to London or Middlese , ,, To-day, cause was shown against the rule by Mr. 7,,, Essio sa, after which, the Court said there was no pretence fo:, sav i ng , that because the action involved the rights of the plair:,:df as Lord o f the Manor of the Epsom Race-course, and ":nat he had mad e allusions to it in his speeches upon his late canvass for the Easter° div,sion of the county, there could not be a fair trial had. Th e y did not think the defendant would mend his case by taking it to the places named, nor would Ix be removed from all influenc e° even if he was to carry it t•:, Cumberland.—Rule discharged. Percival Banks, Esq., M.A., and J. B. F er revvest? Esq., were yesterday called to the bar by th e H on . S o ciety ‘:, Gray's Inn. The case of the frail one, the action in connecti9 ll with whom caused so much sensation, and gave rise to no 410 11 quantity of scandal in the county of Dorset nearly tw , ,, yeah ago, will shortly, we believe, be brought again into a.

The price of Consols is now nearly double the amount which it was in 1798, when it was so low as 47.
