(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Just ce ERLE and Common Juries.) KEANE V. JAMES. This was an action to recover the amount of a promis sory note for 4851., with 51. per cent. interest. The defendant pleaded that he did not make the note. Witnesses proved that the defendant signed the note on the 9th of April, 1845. at Garner's brewe,ry, Gray's Inn lane, the transaction having rekrettee to the trans r of a public-house ; whilst, on the 0111, r hand, two witnesses, on of whom had taught thi. ;I.ftndant to write, stated that they did not believe the defendant's name to be in his handwriting. The jury. however, found for the plaintiff for the sum of 570 L, principal and merest. PALMER V. CASTALLANI. Thl4 was an action 'o recover the amn tint of a bill of exchange for 361, purporting to have been accepted by the defendant. The defendant pleaded that be did not accept the bill, and that ho did not auth , rise any one to accept it. It appeared that the defendant's wife was in the habit of transacting her husband's business, in the course of which she had often to sign her husband's name. This, it appeared, was one of those transac tions.- Two of the defendant's brother's swore that the signature was in the handwriting of the brother, whilst other witnesses swore as positively that the defendant 'wrote a free, bold hand, and that the signature was not his. Mr. Prentice conducted the case of the plaintiff, and Mr. Miller that of the defendant. Mr. P4ENTICS addressed the jury, and urged that they could not for a moment believe that the defendant did not give his wife his full and entire consent to accept the bill in his name. They could not affirm his plea without imputing perjury to the brother of the defendant, and stamping the defendant's wife, with whom he was living in the ordinary relations of married life, as a forger. Mr. Justice ERLE said, if the jury believed the de fendant accepted the bill, or that his wife accepted it by his consent, they must find for the plaintiff. If they thought he did not accept it, nor authorised any one to do so, then they must find for the defendant. The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. FINDING OF A BODY IN THB THAMES.—This fore noon some fishermen found the body of a woman floating off "Hungerford-market, which they brought ashore, and had conveyed to the dead-house of St. Martin's parish. The body is that of a stout, m;ddle-aged woman, appa rently of dark complexion, as nearly as could be ascer tained from its discoloured and bloated state. She was dressed in a figured black cotton gown, and the body appeared to have been in the water for some time.

We are in receipt of files of the Cape Town and eastern provincial journals to the end of September. They add, however, little to what was already known. With regard to the action of the 29th of August, Sir IL Smith and the letter writers of his camp, do all justice to their own gallantry. The Boers were numerically stronger, but they were undisciplined, and Sir Harry says there were many " boys" among them. They ; had no artillery. Sir Harry is a first-class soldier; he had dis ciplined:troops—most of them accustomed to be under tire in the Kafir war ; and he had six guns. The main force of the Boers had taken up a very strong position, which they maintained for three hours, and were only driven from it by artillery, placed on com manding heights on their left. While the main body was engaged, a strong detachment made a not unskilful side movement for the double purpose of taking the as sailants in front and capturing the army waggons and stores. This movement was repulsed by the artillery. Sir Harry and the letter writers :state that the force under Pi etorius is broken upland scattered in all directions. After the fight two prisoners fell into Sir Harry's hands. One was a deserter from the 45th Regiment. the other a Dutchman of the name of Dnej er. They were tri, d by court-martial, and both were shot. With regard to Sir Harry's proceedings after the battle we have to notel:—ln a proclamation dated the 7th he declares- 0 I hereby prohibit all public meetings; and I hold any one guilty of felony who shall endeavour to convene any ; and if they at tempt to do so I have posted at Bloem Fontein a large force of guns, cavalry, and infantry; and will con struct such a fortification at Bloem Fontein, well de fended by cannon, as shall insure its safety during the absence of the troops in the field." Under the guard of this force and fortress he leaves his secretary "on private and confidential duty for the purpose of selling confiscated property and levying fines." In the minute from which we have been ,quoting Sir Harry inserts between an announcement of confiscations and ;the prohibition of public meetings, the following decla ration:—" And I hereby make known that all mar riages heretofore contracted in the district of Win burg, and not recorded as set forth in my procla mation, are illegal, and the offspring thereof can inherit ao property within the colony." A public meeting was held at Swellendam on :the 7th September," to petition the Queen to grant this colony a Legislature which shall be freely chosen by the inhabit ants." Copies of the resolution adopted there were forwarded to influential persona in every town and vil lage of the colony, inviting them to co-operate. A dis tinct movement was in progress in the ea.tern districts; meetings had been held, and permanent associations formed for the purpose of obtaining a separation of the eastern from the western districts, and the concession of a free elective legislature, with self-government in all local affairs, at Port Elizabeth, Graham's Town, and Fort Beaufort. The Cape Town press, of all shades of opinion, treats these movements as serious, and the pro vincial journals warmly support them. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Neu; Price Current of Nov. 28.) SUGAR.—To-day no change for the better took place in the position of the Raw Sugar market, although sup plies were not so plentiful. For West India Musco vadoes the rates taken were in some cases rather under those of Friday; there was in consequence a good busi ness concluded for refining purposes at from 33s 6d to 375, but grocers operated with caution in all kinds. The total sales are 767 hhds, &c., including 150 hhds Barbadoes at auction, which went off flatly at barely former rates; fine yellow at 40s 6d, good 37s to 38s 6d, and middling 35s 6d to 36s 6d per cwt. Fur public sale on Friday only one parcel of Sugar is declared, and that consists of 1,200 bags of Bengal. REFINED.—To-day there was much dulness in the market for home trade Refined Goods. The value of brown Lumps is 46s to 475, and of standard Lumps 47s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar still finds a free sale at 25s 9d to 26s 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was little activity in the market for Mauritius Sugar, and of 5,342 bags at public sale, a small part only sold at a fall on the rates of Friday of 6d per cwt; fine yellow went at 37s 6d to 38s, good 36s to 375, middling 34s to 35 , , low 33s to 333 6d, middling to fine brown 30s to 32s 6,1, low to good grey 33s to 36s 6d, out of condition 28s 6d to 34s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a dull demand existed for Bengal Sugar, and 487 bags at public sale were all taken in at 38s 6d for low soft white Benares, and at 30s 6d for the damp Khaur. For Madras little inquiry ex isted, and prices are rather lower. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and privately only 1,000 chests of yellow Haven nah were sold at 18s to 18s 6d for middling.

Pekoe and Scented Teas are offered upon lower terms, yet few buy ers are to be met with, and the supply yet far exceeds the wants of the trade.

For delivery up to the close of the year sellers are willing to accept 44s 5d to to 44s 9d, few buyers are to be met with, and little business has been concluded for the early part of 1849.

Last night, at eight o'clock, a meeting of master bakers, from different parts of the metropolis, was held at the London Coffee-house, Snow-hill, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee, in reference to the steps taken by the above association, in order to se cure uniformity in the price of bread throughout the metropolis. Mr. EDWARDS, having been called to the chair, said that for a long time past their trade bad been injured by the interference of men who will not be regarded in any other light than dishonest tradesmen.—(Hear.) These were parties who had been in the habit of selling articles of an inferior description, which were vended to the in jury of the trade, they being sold at a low [nice, and also to the injury of the public, inasmuch as it was the fact, that articles of a mischievous, if not of a delete• rious, nature were distributed to the public. It was, a fact, which was well known to the present meeting, that, by the use of a certain kind of seed, the farmer was enabled to obtain nine combs (or sacks) of wheat to the acre, while, under the old sj s;.em, when the people had the whole of the glutin, or nutritious part of the grain, there was not obtainable more than five combs per acre.—(Hear.) They e ere well aware that the flour they hart to use in their business now eas scarcely anything like what it was 15, or even 10, years ago. The millers and bakers both suffered from this state of things, and be thought it was most desirable that something should be done to protect the trade and the public.—(Hear.) Mr. BROOKS (the secretary) observed that the objects of the association were to create a better and more friendly understanding among all the members of the trade, and to promote, by every lawful means, the inte rest of the general body without prejudice to any. Resolutions were then adopted in accordance with the principles expressed by the secretary. Reports from the district associations of Westminster, St. Pancras, Paddington, Southwark, the eastern part of London, &c., were given in, which declared their adhe sion to the objects of the association; and it was unani mously resolved that a circular s h ou ld b e di str ib u t e d among the trade, in order to accomplish the objects con templated. After subscriptions had been received, thanks were voted to the Chairman. The meeting then adjourned. SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. Yesterday a large meeting of Spanish bondholders took place at the London Tavern, Bihop.gate-street, for the purpose of agreeing to a memorial to the Spa nish Government, in respect to the claims of the bond holders. JAMES CAPEL, Esq., took the chair, and stated that there was now a favourable ()cession for again memorial ising the Spanish Government, as a Spanish gentleman of much influence would engage to present it to the Duke of Valencia, by which they exist cted much more success than if it were done by one of theu:s,Aves. He was sorry that the late discussion in Parliament had of fered some cause of displeasure to the Spanish Govern ment. There was no doubt that a resident Commis sioner in Madrid, 'one who was a skilful negotiator and unconnected with politics, would be useful; such a per son could be had, but the means of sending him would be wanting. It was in vain for them to present mtmi rials to foreign Ministers in Spain, unless they took the matter up where they left off; if they ust d hard worth, our Ministers should use hard blows; but that was not likely. There was one thing of importance to them, which was, that all the bonds that had been pid in for the national domains had beet: burnt, and could not be re-issued. Mr. Moss asked if they knew the amount. The CHArnmkri said from five to six millions sterling, --(Hear, hear.) He had understood that some gentle men were taking means to organize alioeher committee; all he could say was, that if so, he should have great pleasure in lending them his aid.—(Hcar, hear.) The only object of his taking so much interest in their affairs was that he and his friends represented about 6,000,000/. or 7,000,0001. of the bonds. He bad been advised, in drawing up the memorial, by thre e gentlemen who were well conversant with Spain and Spaniards—one was now resident in Madrid, and another's life bud been sperit amongst Spaniards. The Chairman then read the me morial to the bondholders. The document merely stated the claims of the bond holders, in the ordinary way, and was addressed to the Field. Marshal the Duke of Valencia, with a request that he would submit it to his colleagues, and then lay it be•. fore the Cortes for their consideration. Mr. WALE? was very much sati)fied with the wording of the memorial, and would move its adoption. Mr. D. MOCATTA secondtd it. _ . Mr. HENDERSON, jun., alluded to the great efforts made by his father and M. Lerreps to get an arrange meat from the Government, all which ended in notktiog. 1e questioned whether any better fate would attend this memorial; still he did not oppose the memorial. Mr. D. MOCATTA. could not see the reason why they should now fail because they failed be:bre ; he thought they were much indebted to the Chairman for drawing up the memorial.—(Hear.) The Cuaramarr said they ought to be more indebted to Mr. Stokes. Mr. STOKES said it must not be thought he was the gentleman who was going to present the memorial. It appeared that a letter had been sent over by the Dutch committee, who urged the appointment of a Com missioner, but that was thought impracticable. The memorial was adopted unanimously. Mr. WALLY then moved, and Mr. LINDo seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was passed unanimously, when the meeting adjourned. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT: Charles Lipsham and Thomas Worce,ter were in dieted for unlawfully obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Sleigh prosecuted; Mr. lorry appeared for the defence. Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the cas e , sa id that before he informed the j ury of the circumstances under which the charge was preferred, he felt it his duty to tell them that the offence alleged against the prisoners was con nected with one of those proceedings termed Derby or racing sweeps, which, if n o t c l ear ly l a id (low,' to be illegal, were cet taily considered to be vs ry mischievous in their tendency. The prosecutor of the indictment was Mr. William Harris, a respectable licensed victu aller, in Southwark, and who had been extensively en gaged in carrying out " met ps " of this description; but he should state to the jury that since the public expres sion by the magistracy of London of the illegality of these proceedings, he had resolved to have nothing more to do with them. The fraud imputed to the prisoners was com mitted in June last, and there could be very little doubt that a sum of money was obtained from the prosecutor by means of a fraud, and h e appre h en d e d that what ever opinion might be entertained regarding the ille gality of the sweep in every lottery system, that this would afford no justification for the conduct of the pri soners, if it should be satisfactorily established that they were the authors of the fraud. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the circumstances under which the charge was preferred. It appeared that in June a sweep was open at the hou se o f th e prosecutor, the Equestrian Tavern, in the Blackfriars-road, for one of the races to be run at Ascot, each chance in which was 55., and the holder of the first horse was to be entitled to 71. Two persons, named Cockley and Davidge, pur chased a joint chance in this sweep, and the ticket, numbered 34, referring to a horse named Vampyre, was drawn for them, and this horse turned out to be the winner of the race. The defend ant, Lipsham, acted as clerk to Mr. Harris, and ma naged the different sweeps, and it was his duty to have given intelligence to the parties who were the winner of the prizes ; but instead of doing so, it seemed that he masked the name of Davidge upon the ticket of a horse called Feargus, and retained the 'sinning ticket in his possession. Very soon alter the race, the other defendant, Worcester, went to the pro secutor's house and tendered the ticket referring to Vampire, and Mr. Harris, having no suspicion, paid him the amount of the prize. It turned out upon in quiry that Worcester was brother-in-law to the prisoner, and the latter, when he was apprehended, admitted that he had had the money from Worcester, but said that he had been picked up the same night, and had lost the whole of it. The Learned Counsel having concluded his statement of the tacts, said that the question to be de. Bided in this case was quite apart from any considera tion as to the prudefice or propriety of carrying on these sort of proceedings, and was simply . whether a servant could have any justification for obtaining possession of his master's property by a false pretence. Mr. Barris, the prosecutor, was then examined, and he proved the facts as stated by the Learned Counsel. He said that Lipsham was engaged by him to keep the accounts connected with the different sweeps, and he had the means of knowing who were the winners. On the 13th of June, after the race, Worcester present e d th e genuine ticket to him. He at the time did not know that he was related to the other defendant, and he paid him the amount of the prize, and soon afterwards, from information he received, be discovered that a fraud had been practised, and he paid the prize a second time to the parties who were really entitled to it. He added, that he afterwards went, accompanied by a policeman, to the house of Worcester, and on his being questioned he ad mitted that he had received the money. but said that he presented the ticket at the request of Lipsham, and he had no benefit from the transaction. In answer to questions put by Mr. HOARY, Mr. llarris said that be took no tickets, and had no interest in any of the sweeps at his house himself, and he also forbade his servants from taking any chances in there. Mr. HOARY here submitted to the Court that the charge could not be sustained, inastnuch as the whole transaction was one of a gambling and illegal charac ter; and that the prosecutor had no such legal interest in the money as would entitle him to the protection of the law. Some discussion ensued upon this point, but at length The RECORDER said that, although the transaction might be of an illeg a l c haracter, m et he did not thk the objection would apply to the charge of obtaining money from the prosecutor by fa'se pretei.ces. Ile would, however, he said, reserve Oconside ration, point for farther if such a course should become necessary. William Rotnayne, the constable who apprehended Worcester, was then examined, and he deposed that when he took him into custody he denied all k,:owl. dge of any fraud, and said that he mercly press nted th , ticket at the request of his brother-in-law, and that he handed him over all the money. The RECORDER expressed his opinion that the evi derce did not su p port th e charge of conspiracy. The evidence just as much tended to show thAt Worcester was the instrument merely of Lipsham, as that he was a co-conspirator with him. Mr. CLARESON said he felt the difficulty supposed by his Lordship, and as he had no further evidence to con nect that person with the transaction, he should with draw from the prosecution. The RECORDER then addressed the jury, and ex plained to them that by the law a charge of conspiracy could not be supported unless two persons at least were . shown to be concerned in it, and, therefore, as the evi dence kited in this case to establish the fact, they must acquit the defendants. But, at the same time, said he could not help stating that this was a most useful lesson for persons who were conrn cted with such illegal and dishonest proctedings as these racing sweeps in his opinion charly were. It was a proceeding merely for the purpose of getting custom and profit in a most improper manner. There was no pretence for saying that it promoted the interest of the' turf, aid it had none of the justification that was ex tended to horse racing as tending to improve the bret d of lit rse: , .. On the contrary, it was entirely mischievous in its action, and only had the effect of inducing persons to gamble and speculate small sums of money, in the hope of obtaining a larger amount, and had, in fact, no thing to do with racing. It had happened to him on several occasions to hear persons who hail been con victed of larceny in that court ascribe the commission of the crime to the temptation held out to them to j..in these miserable lotteries, or sweeps as they were termed, and he was not sorry to see that those who encouraged such proceedings were ultimately sufferers by tin na. The jury then, under his Lordship's direction, re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. The RECORDER, in handing back to the prosecutor the tickets connected with the sweep, observed that he hoped that he should never again see such things in a court of justice, He, at the same time, advised the pros: cutor not to have anything more to do with Derby sweeps in future. Mr. Harris said he bad given them up entirely. The RECORDER said he had acted wisely in so zoing, for ir,dependeot of the risk he ran with regard to his house, he would be liable under a particular statute, to a penalty of 5001. if his connexion with such a lottery us these Derby sweeps clearly were, was made out. THE LATE MR. DUCROW'S SISTE G. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having observed in your journal, a few days since, a police report of Lambeth-street, %%herein it state d that relief had been given to my wife (tbe late Mr. Ducrow's sister), I had but one recourse, to imme diately forward to the magistrate, at Lambeth Police office, the full particulars and documents, contradicting the statements of desertion, and now respectfully soli cite, through the medium of your valuable journal, the publicity of this letter, as a public man, in vindication of my character. Being miles from London, I have no other remedy than to claim your justice, and that of the magistrate to whom I sent the amount of sums weekly paid, from the period of our separation in 1841, one year before her brother's death (and not afterwards as she states), the cause of which separation is well known to the pro• fession and all the members of her family, as I am the last husband of the three sist•_rs, aid each husband was obliged to separate from their wives. £ s. d.

COLLISION ON TIIE BRIGHTON AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.—A collision took pace on this line yesterday morning. A goods train which bad left Brighton at half-past six for Portsmouth, was stopping at the King ston station, about three miles from Brighton, when a passenger train, which left Brighton at five minutes past seven, came up, and though the stop signals were ex hibited and a red light waved to intimate imminent danger, the train ran into the goods train with great violence, smashing some of the carriages of the latter. Several of the passengers were hurt by the shock, and some bled, but none sustained serious injury. The line was strewed with the wrecks of broken carriages, and two hours elapsed before the traffic could be resumed. John Pemberton, the driver of the passenger train, was apprehended and brought up before the magistrates sit ting at the Town-hall, Brighton, and charged with mis conduct. Evidence was given that the stop-signals were hoisted, and red lights waved, which could be seen and were seen half a mile off by the guard of the train; and that the train, when first perceived, wds going at from 40 to 50 miles an hour, which was much beyond the usual pace. He was fined 5/. or a month's imprisontncW. THE BURNING OF THE GLASGOW ADELPIII THEATRE.—We learn that from the peculiar circum stances connected with the recent fire in the Theatre Adelphi, the au'horities and the chief superintendent of p.)lice have considered it their duty to make a rigid in vestigation into the matter. It would be improper to enter into details, but we feel warranted in sa) ing that we believe:a considerable quantity of dresses, decorations, and properties, which were supposed to be consume 1, have been recovered, and now lie in the Paisley police office.—Glasgow Constitutional.

The master., also, of this vessel has likewise been restored to the navy. —Devosport Independent. ELECTRIC LIGHT.—The Electric Light of M. Le Mott, was tried on Saturday eyeliner last, in the train which ran down to Exeter on the Great Western Rail way. At half-past six o'clock, a truck, containing a wooden square box, about the size, though not the shape of a sentry box, and having a galvanic battery of ifome sixty or si venty small ,jars disposed around it, was at tached to the last carriage of the train, then about to proceed from Paddington. The light was produced in side the box, and the rays, condensed and heightened by a powerful reflector, were emitted by an aperture con trived for the purpose. The light was produced before the train left Paddington, when a dazzling blaze filled the whole of the spacious station, casting the numerous gas lamps there coaapletely in the shade. As the train proceeded on its way, the reflection left a long train of clear bright light for the distance of a mile and more behind it, in such a manner as to ren der it utterly impossible that any train coming up behind should run into it, except as the effect of delibe rate intention. The reflection, as seen from the carriage was very beautiful, the prismatic colours being distinctly and vividly delineated along the outer edge of the circle of radiation; and as these tell upon the dense column of smoke ascending from the engine, the affect was singular aril striking. The night was dark, but clear, and so far favourable to the experiment; and objects, such as a bridge, was rendered distinctly visible at the distance of about two miles 1 The experiment was made as far as Slough, on arriving at which station the truck was de tached from the train, and continued there for about half an hour, till the up-train arrived, with which it re turned to town. While at Slough, a gentleman sta tioned himself at a distance of 200 yards or so from the apparatus, and could read a newspaper by the light pro duced, which be found he could do with perfect ease.— Western Times. FEMALE ORPHAN AsvLum.—Yesterday his Royal Highness the l)uke of Cambridge, President of the Royal Female Orphan Asylum, Westminster-road, attended D.vine service in the chapel of the institution, which was crowded by the governors and lady-patronesses. The sermon was preached by the Rev. C. B. DaLon, M.A., Rector of St. Mary's, Lambeth. At the close of the ser vice five young woman, who have been brought up in the Asylum, n ct,ived from the Royal President the re wards periodically bestowed upon the more meritorious pupils, as an encouragement to diligence and good con duct.

THE MURDER OF THE POLICEMAN BRIGHT. —At the Ashton-under-Lyne petty sessions, on Wednesday, George Whataaore, a youth, was brought up, charged upon his own statement with bring an accessory b, fore the fact to the murder of Bright. It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner had said that he knew es much as any one about the murder of Bright, and had seeds other statements with respect to Bright's death, which caused Mr. Newton to apprehend him. After being lodged in the lock-up a shunt time, he requested to see Mr. Newton, the chief constable, to whom he offered to tell all he knew of the murder " if he would forgive hitu." Mr. Newton, of course, told him he could make no promise of any description, and the prisoner then said he had been a lot: r ge s ra o t t St a ce; i t d 's } h ia o d us a e f , te a r t w it a t t h d a i d tta i rk i ee d n fhi,e.

CHAPEL PROPERTY IN JERSEY. The following letter has been addressed to Dr. Bow ing, M.P., on this subject:— Akterbury Loda,e, Les Vaux, Jersey, Novetnbi.r 23, 1843. Sir,—ln the month of August, last year, you were kind enough to lay before the Secretary of State a peti tion from several congregations of Protestant Dissenters in Jersey, praying for a reform of our laws affecting real property, so as to provide for trusts and uses, in order that Dissenters may be enabled to perpetuate their chapels t) religious purposes with perfect security, and enjoy the same rights, liberties, and franchises in Jersey as they would if they were living in England. The Dissenters are sensible of the interest you took in their behalf, and feel grateful that it should have had the effrct of enlisting the attention of her Majesty's Government to the it %ants; but, as those wants have not yet been redressed, and very serious consequf aces threaten them, owing to it, I am induced to trouble you again on that subject. - It will be nu ce;sary, however, to acquaint you with what has been done, before I enter into particulars of the calamities which are now approaching us. In the beginning of November, of last year, Sir George Grey transmitted this petition t..) the Lieutenant-Governor, and strongly recommended that immediate measures should be taken by the States of Jersey to redress the grievance complained of. It was brought before the AFsembly on the 11th of that month, and referred to a committee composed of two Juratf, two Rectors, and two Constables, who were charged to prepare a Bill on the subject. The committee, however, failing to do anything, a gentleman who takes great int-rest in the matt. r, wrote to the Secretary of State, upon which Sir George Grey called on the authorities to report progress, when the committee became alarmed, and met to proceed with their work ; but finding themselves utterly incompetent to the task, they prevailed on the Attorney• General Dupre to undertake it—with whom it is likely to remain, unli.ss more vigorous measures are adopted. We had already experienced a foretaste of the inse curity of chapel property by the operat.io❑ of our bank rupt laws. To be brief, a chapel built for the Inde pendents, and another for the Baptists, were lost, and made liable for the private debts of the parties who pur chased the ground, notwithstanding they had recon veyed the buildings to persons who, it was thought, held them in trust for special purposes; and we are now upon the verge of experiencing more serious robseries. A large chapel, built some years ago, at an expense of 3,0001., by the Wesleyan Methodis!s, and placed in trust, is in jeopardy through the bankruptcy of one of the trustees, for notice has been served on all the parties to bring in that title-deed for insertion in the decree—in other words, to choose whether they will substitute the bankrupt, by taking to his debts and assets, or surrender the property as part and parcel of his estate. Since then another chapel, Lelonging to the Unitarians, has been notified for plunder. This was originally built by the Independents, and placed in trust (I) but subse quently sold by the trustees to the Unitarians, who have held it about two years. It turns out, however, that the private property of one of those trustees is become overcharged with debt, and the mort gage es have given notice to the holders of the chapel to substitute the bankrupt by taking his property and paying his hypothecations, or surrender the chapel to the next who shall be entitled to that option. I for ward you one of our local journals, that contains the public notice to this effect from the attorney who is conducting this bankruptcy, in order that you may see it. It is necessary that you should understand that the bankrupts in these cases never possessed one shilling of interest in the chapels; the money was furnished by the religious communities to whom they belong; and it is a very great hardship that the latter should be plundered under odour of an antiquated custom, because one of their trustees is unable to fulfil his own engagements. But it would be just the same if the prior owner of the ground became bankrupt, as in that ease the trustees would have to substitute him in his rights and discharge his prior debts, or surrender the chapel to the common stock for another to do it. There is no such thing as setting apart a property for any use whatever under the old feudal law of Normandy, for, as that law is prac tised in Jersey, it must be mixed up with the private property of every one thrLugh whose hands it pssses, and become subject to the laws of inheritance, bank ruptcy, and forfeiture. Surely, Sir, it is not reasonable or just that the buyer of a property should be called on to take to the estate and effects of the seller, or for the seller to take to the property of the buyer, with additional charges, or other wise lose their respective rights? Why should the vendee be encumbered with the bricks and mortar of the vendor, or viee versa, according to whichever side the bankruptcy may arise? and this for a period of forty years! It is monstrous and roguish too. Every dis tinct property ought to be liable only for its special in cumbrances, and not to be mixed up as it now is with each other. There are at least fifty chapels in the island, which must have cost in the aggregate upwards of 25,000 L, exposed to these risks, in which perhaps 20,000 Dissen ters are interested. This state of things is really de plorable, and calls loudly for redress. It is vain, how ever, to petition the States, or Local Assembly, one third of which is composed of Church parsons, who have no community of feeling with us; another third of jurats, who are opposed to the enactment of any laws; and the remainder of constables—men who, with the exception of two or three, have not even sufficient capacity to write out the charges they present with their prisoners, much less to devise legislative remedies for these grievances. It is therefore pre posterous to look to them for redress. Now the kind of redress which we waist is the prompt and energetic intervention of her Majesty's Government, to originate a law for the purpose. There are petitions lying with the Clerk of the Rolls of our Assembly crowded with signatures, in whose custody they have been for years, some praying for on alteration of the laws of inherit ance, to enable persons to Hit and devise real estate, others to aholi:h seignorial rigi , its,' to create trusts, and set apart chapels for religious purposes, without being subject to bankruptcy or torfeiture. I have, therefore, to beg—first, that you will be kind enough to press those reforms on the consideration of the Secretary of State; and if you should find him disposed to entertain them, I have, secondly, to request that you will be pleased to suggest to him the propriety of his ordering a return to be made of those petitions, with such ob servations thereon as the states of Jersey may be pre pared to make, within a given time; and, lastly, that you will be pleased to urge him to bring the whole under the consideration of the Queen in Council, in order that her Majesty might legislate thereon. 1 beg to renew my sincere thanks for the very able and zealous manner in e Weft you have seconded my Oforts in the cause of reform, and to subscribe myself; Sir, your most obedient, very humble„ and ever faithful servant, ABRAHAM JONES LE CRAB, Author of a work entitled "The Laws, Customs, and Privileges of the Island of Jersey."

'REGIMENTS FOR FOREIGN SERVICE.It has just been decided that the following regiments, which re turned from colonial duty in 1843, are to proceed to India, viz., 70th, 64th, and 83d. The first arrangement proposed was, that the 70th Foot should go to Hong' Kong, but should any additional force be required there, troops will be sent in from Ceylon.
