xpress his opinion, and if there was a repetition of such Conduct he would dissolve the Court. Mr. Deputy WESTON we understood to have said, that as the excommunication of the comet was not on the paper, the worthy Alderman bad no right to introduce it.— (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. C. PEARSON—My Lord, as your Lordship has for bidden hisses, may we laugh if Sir Peter says anything witty ?—(Loud laughter.) Sir P. LAURIE in conclusion said that there never would be a permanent Government until it was composed of Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham, and such was the opinion of the country, for in Devonshire Lord John Russell was 700 behind on the poll, and it was only yesterday that Sir Robert Peel had received the 725th address from the most opulent towns—such was a testimonial of the regenerative feeling of the country. Mr. WILLIAM STEVENS said that he had been alluded to by the worthy Alderman who had spoken last. It was true that he did say that the Reform Bill was final, as far as the representation went, but he did not mean to say that its spirit was not to be applied to miner institutions — (Cheers.) The worthy Alderman had used language which was not calculated to raise the character of the Court in public opinion—.(Cheers.) The worthy Alderman had al luded to the comet and its excommunication, to show the danger that was to be apprehended from the Catholics ; but the worthy Alderman forgot to state that he was one of the deacons of the chapel where the unknown tongues were spoken—(Roars of laughter and cheers.) Sir PETER LAURIE—It is true, I was one of the dea cons ; but the moment the man ceased to be rational I cut him—( Renewed laughter.) Mr. PEWTRZSS strenuously supported the resolutions. Mr. R. TAYLOR spoke in favour of the resolutions. Mr. DIXON deolared that if one thing is calculated to damn the present Administration more than another, it was its connection with, and submission to, Daniel O'Connell. . Mr. TICKNER rose to move the previous question ; and concluded by declaring that he looked upon the existing coalition as the most unprincipled that ever was known to exist, and that it was evident the Ministers had sold them selves to the devil.—(Laughter.) Mr. CORNEY requested that Alderman Browne would withdraw his amendment in order that the previous question might be adopted. Mr. LAWRENCE opposed the retractation of the amend ment because it pledged the Court to the " No Popery" cry ; and he was anxious to show how few amongst them were disposed to support such an obnoxious proposition. Sir PETER LAURIE, in the midst of the contest, moved that the Court should adjourn, but the proposition was negatived. Mr. EDWARD WILSON supported the resolutions. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON said, the amendment challenged the opinion of the members upon the comparative merits of the late and the present administration.—( Hear.) Let the Court pronounce the verdict. He was aware of the exer tions made to pack the Jury, and to bring up to the vote the Tory members, who seldom showed their faces in Court ex cept upon the election of officers, or when something was to be given away.—(Hear, and laughter.) A printed cir cular had been sent round to the members of the Tory clique, summoning them to the Court to oppose the reso lutions.—(Mr. Pearson read one of the letters.) Sir P. Laurie, he had no doubt, had directed the pibroch to be sounded from hill to hill to secure a gathering of the clans —( Cheers) —but despite all their exertions there would be a large majority in favour of the men his Majesty had now called, to his councils.—(Cheers.) The people had learned the secret by which the Tories could alone be moved to do right, and they would not forget it. Replace them in office, and agitation would be again the order of the day, and that repose for which Sir Robert Peel so devotedly prayed at the Mansion-house, would never again be tile lot of this nation while an illiberal, a Tory Administration, presided at the helm of affairs. Out of an expenditure of seventeen millions, the Whigs when in office, had economised to the extent of nearly four, and that, too, by retrenchment, beginning with their own salaries, and extending to all the principal offices of State. Out of 494,0001., they saved by these means 200,000/. ; and yet so little agitation was created, that he supposed the Tory supporters of the Amendment were hardly acquainted with the fact.—(Hear.) The firmness and strength of the resolutions would prove to the country would prove to the country that their opinions remained unchanged ; their re solutions would show that they thought like them, and, in the absence of the Address, that they felt like gentlemen. —(Great cheering.) Mr. WIRE rose to reply. It was time that we should put aside the childish cry of No Popery, which had been at tempted to be raised in that Court, and which had been the rallying word of bigotry and intolerance, and had caused those political feuds and religious animosities which had separated man from man, and prevented the interchange of those kindly feelings and refined affections which were well calculated to destroy the fears of superstition, and the sul len passions arising from assumed superiority and dominant privileges. It was time they should feel as men, and act as Christians—and, while giving each other credit for purity of motives—should do by others as they could wish to be done unto.—(Loud cheers.) The previous question was negatived. The amendment was also negatived ; and, on a division upon the resolu tions, the number in favour of them was 98, and against them 60—Majority 38. The Court then adjourned. POOR LAW FOR IRELAND. MR. O'CONNELL. At a meeting of the Trades' Union, on Sunday last, Mr. O'Connell made the following observations, on moving for a Committee to prepare a petition to Parliament, for the adop tion of a legal provision for the poor of Ireland :—" In the abstract, lam unfavourable to them. I deny, and deliberately deny, that any one human being can have a right to the pro perty of another. I state distinctly, that if a nation be poor in which society is formed, the principle of the taking away must lead to a promiscuous and undefined right to property in gene ral. Civil society is framed not only to protect human life from violence, but to give to each man protection to his pro perty—a mode adopted by our ancestors when title began in some way to realize any particular portion of property, which before belonged to the human race at large. I think, there fore, to admit the question of right, and yet to enter the pro perty of another, would be committing a solecism against the social state, and a crime against the laws of society itself. I have always been of opinion that a period might arrive when the right of individual property should no longer stand in the way when that right threatened so many serious evils and crimes, and that any thing in the nature of abuses in the superior authority of the State should be checked and con trolled for tke good of society. The question is, whether or not the time has arrived for that qualification, and whether we have come to a period at which we ought to act upon that qualification. lam sorry to say I am convinced the period has arrived. The state of landed property in Ireland is most anomalous. The evidence repeatedly taken before Commit tees of the House of Commons, brings out the fact—that there is not a Whiteboy outrage committed that does not take its origin in the clearing of lands, and the turning out of the poor wretches houseless upon the country, perhaps to the ex tent of seventy, eighty, or ninety individuals at a time, from one or two farms, with no choice but to parish from famine ; or, if they received sustenance at the charitable hands of their neighbours for a while, ultimately die of the typhus fever. At the present crisis, typhus is making frightful ravages in the country. It not only makes victims of those unfortu nate creatures from poverty and want, but also makes its way to the upper classes ; and unless speedily checked by timely provision to remove causes by which it is propagated— though it is emphatically the disease of the poor—it will come amongst those who seem to disregard it, when the mournings and the wailings of the rich will be heard, as well as in the deserted cabin of the poor and low. This double mischief of disease and stimulant to crime, originates in the wretched peasants being thrown abroad upon the world from their wretched habitations, and not only staring us In the face, but giving us a frightful prospect from their numbers. Never, as at this moment were there so many notices to quit given, or so many people threatened to be ejected from their holdings. If this occurred in England, they could have resort to the ma nufacturing towns and get employment, but we have no manu factures, nothing to absorb the labour of the country, and if the unfortunate labourers have not land they must perish. • • • * * • Who can deny that it is a frightful prospect, and one demanding, in an imperative voice, some immediate remedy ? Shall I, then, under these circum stances, if I appeal for poor laws be inconsistent ? But I will bear the taunt of being inconsistent before I would give up a speculative principle of any kind. Can I reflect with patience on this state of things and allow them to continue ? lam re solved that an immediate call shall be made on the Legisla ture for a speedy provision for the poor. I owe it to the people in another point of view. I said the repeal of the Union would be my poor law ; but we are bound to allow the present Administration a trial—we have promised them a trial. During that experiment we will have no poor law at all, un less we get the poor law that we now seek and absolutely re quire —to make every landlord that turns out tenants compen sate them. I hope a better prospect will then open to us, and in working the point, I shall go one step further in forming a legal tribunal for the protection of tenants against the tyranny of landlords. We must do something of this kind, or Ireland cannot be peaceable or prosperous. I am not sorry to have been forced from my original resolution. I have been forced from it reluctantly, by the misery of the country, and the im perative nature of those circumstances, which the recent triumph of the Orange gang, under the patronage of the Earl of Haddington, the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Robert Peel, brought so prominently to our Notice in this country. I shall always be ready to co-operate and work out some provi sion, in the shape of a poor law, for the benefit of the people." The Earl of Scarborough has left town for Not tinghamshire, to take nossession of the vast estates which have lately devolved to him. We understand that the Earl of Harrington has reeding and decorating Pembroke House in a most an style, and is about to commence his usual hospitalities. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1835. The fears which we expressed yesterday respecting the issue of the Devonshire election, have, we are sorry to say, been realized. Intimidation, bribery, and bigotry, have prevailed ; and the patriotic efforts of the friemen of Devon have been borne down by the combined influence of aristocratical and ecclesiastical tyranny. The result of this election may probably be distorted by the hirelings of the Tory faction into a triumph. The plan of that noxious faction has always been to stick at nothing, in order fo carry their point. Threats, bribes, slander, deception—all sorts of baseness, in short—are the legitimate weapons of their political warfare ; and when they succeed, as they sometimes, though very seldom do,—they turn round with characteristic effrontery, and exclaim, " Look at the re-action which has taken place I—see how our principles are gaining ground among the people 1" By such means .they labour to propagate the delusion that Toryism is the popular creed, in de fiance of the evidence brought home to every man, who has the ordinary use of his senses, by the proceedings which have taken place at Manchester, Edinburgh, Dundee, and every other place where the people have raised their voices to express their political sentiments. We should not, therefore, be surprised, if those who have hitherto acted upon this short-sighted plan of de ception should endeavour to mislead the public into a belief, that the defeat of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in De vonshire has been owing entirely to a re-action among the electors of that County, than which nothing can be conceived more remote from the truth. Let the Reformers turn the Noble Lord's failure to good account. Let them lay to heart the irresistible evidence which this election has afforded, of the abso lute necessity of adopting immediate and energetic measures for the protection of the elective franchise. Let them with one voice demand Tan BALLOT. Mr. DISRAELI, jun.—a young gentleman who seems smitten with a passion for notoriety truly pitiable —has addressed a long letter to O'CoNNELL, in reply to some animadversions which the Hon. and Learned gentleman let fall lately at the Dublin Corn Ex change, on the fruitful subject of the Rejected of Wycombe's political inconsistencies. In this epistle, which, from its grand and verbose style, is worthy to have come from Caprce, the Rejected of Wycombe attempts to refute his accuser's charge that he " was once a Radical, and is now a Tory," by stating (we use his own words) " my conscience ac quits me of having ever deserted a political friend, or having ever deserted a political opinion. I worked for a great and avowed end in 1831, and that was, the re storation of the balance of parties in the State." There is a studied vagueness here, which, so far from re futing, only confirms the truth of Mr. O'CON NELL'S charge. Could Mr. D'ISRAELI have re futed it, he would have done so in direct and posi tive terms, and not have put us off with a rigmarole flourish about the "balance of parties." Truth needs no such elaborate mystification. With regard to the other matters alluded to in Mr. DISRAELI'S letter, we have only to express our regret for the circum stance that has called them forth. Mr. O'CoNNELL's attack on his Jewish origin was certainly a solicism in taste and feeling, only to be accounted for, on the presump tion that the gross provocation that he had received at the hands of his antagonist, who, among choice ex- 1 W 4 :..-, been r 1 ~., c , , : -" F t 1 / 2 riy.if:;::::,,,-: ;:::4 , :: - ..2. 1.... ire........, lel PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 21 7 1 /4 17 3;per Cent.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1835. pressions, styled him " traitor" and" incendiary," had for ' the time completely eclipsed his better judgment. How ever, if he has sinned, he will now pay the penalty. An awful retribution awaits him for—Mr. DISRAELI has publicly threatened to extinguish him ! " I expect," says this truculent and ferocious young man, "to be a re presentative of the people before the repeal of the Union. We shall meet at Phillippi ; and rest assured that, confident in a good cause, and in some energies which have been not altogether unproved, I will seize the first opportunity of inflicting upon you a castigation which will make you at the same time remember, and repent the insults you have lavished upon BENJAMIN DISRAELI." The modesty of this threat is only to be equalled by its absurdity. The writer, it will be seen, compares himself to Ccesar—only conceive, Cir.S.lll DISRAELI I—whose ghost, it may be re membered paid Brutus a visit one night in his tent ; and, of course, if Mr. D'ISRAELI be Ca sein Mr. 0' C 0 NNE', r. must be Brutus, an unwilling testimony to his patriotism, into which the writer has been betrayed by his love of fine phrases. We purposely refrain front comment on that part of Mr. DISRAELI'S letter which alludes to the challenge, which, it seems, he sent yesterday to Mr. O'CON NELL'S son, and which that gentleman very properly declined ; for any thing in the shape of serious remark would be utterly thrown away on such an absurd affair. Our readers will see with pleasure that, at a Court of Common Council held yesterday for the purpose of considering the propriety of presenting an Address to his MAJESTY, expressive of the satisfaction which the City of London felt at the dismissal of the late Administration, and the accession to office of the pre sent Ministers, the resolutions in favour of the Ad dress, &c., were carried by a majority of 38, the num bers being-98 for, and 60 against, them. Among the speeches delivered on this occasion was a singu larly absurd one, by Sir PIETER LAURIE, who in an swer to some taunt about his connection with the Caledonian Chapel, thrown out by Mr. STEPHENS, said that the instant Mr. IRVING " ceased to talk common sense, he cut him." If the worthy Knight car ries this practice into private life, and cuts all his friends, the instant they cease to talk common sense, he will have very few Tory Aldermen left among his ac quaintance. It will be seen by the Gazette of last night that Mr. CHARLES GRANT has been raised to the Peerage by the title of Baron Glenelg, as we originally stated in The Sun, and not Inverness, as stated by several of our contemporaries. The Duke of SUSSEX is Earl of Inverness. Lieutenant-General Sir RICHARD HUSSEY VI VIAN has been appointed Master-General of the Ordnance. Lord GRANVILLE has been appointed Ambassador to the French Court. His Majesty's schooner, Viper, arrived at Fal mouth on the sth, from Lisbon, bringing letters and papers from Portugal to the 19th ult. The country was then in a state of perfect tranquillity, and nothing was talked of but the future marriage of the young QUEEN. The ordinary session of the Cortes will close on the 20th of May, when the QUEEN will dissolve the Chambers in person by the usual speech from the throne. The Paris papers of Monday are filled with obser vations, conjectures, and discussions, respecting the trial of the prisoners of April. The new Court opens to-day, and probably at the very instant at which we write, the Peers have entered upon their judicial func tions. All the leading journals, not in the immediate keeping of the Government, reprobate the conduct of the KING in thus bidding defiance to the whole moral influence of the French people. The fifth legion of the Metropolitan National Guard have entered a pro test both against the trials, and against the duties which the Government, in order to prosecute the trials successfully, imposed upon the army. Of this docu ment a copy appeared in some of the Paris papers of Sunday, and failed not to produce a powerful sensation in the capital. The Government became seriously alarmed, and it was at fist resolved that the fifth legion should be immediately disbanded. This resolu tion was not, however, acted upon ; and some of the Ministers, suggesting that it might be the safest course to consult the officers of the legion respect ing the sentiments of the men, the PRESIDENT of the council-had the Colonels summoned before it. The communications made by these gentlemen con siderably allayed the fears of the Cabinet. They stated that the fifth legion would support the Govern ment unless it commanded an attack upon the people ; and they further intimated that the course about to be adopted by Ministers—namely, the disbanding of the legion—might produce serious evils at a period of such universal excitement. M. THIERS was not slow to com prehend the sound policy of this advice, and at once pre pared to act upon it. The previous determination of the Council to give orders for disbanding the fifth legion was therefore abandoned ; and intimation given to the subordinates of the Government, that no fur ther notice should be taken of the protest. The KING will not forget the conduct of this section of the National Guard ; and it would be hazarding little to assert, that the fifth legion will be cashiered before two months, provided the citizen KING continue to sit so long on the Throne of France. The worst fault of Lovis PIIILIPPE is, that he knows not what it is to forgive an enemy—a fault common to all men of a maliciously obstinate disposition. When the Allied Armies entered Paris in triumph, it was not more environed with the insignia of con quest, than it is with the regalia of despotic power at the present moment. There cannot be less than one hundred and twenty thousand of National Guards, one -hundred thousand troops of the line, besides five thou sand police, all under arms, within and around the immediate vicinity of the French capital. The KING has left nothing to the spontaneous good feeling and loyal sentiments of the citizens of Paris. His first care has been to treat them all as the confederates of the prisoners, by providing against any attempt which they might make to impede the visitation of his wrath on the supposed plotters against his Crown and dig nity. This is in unison with the general policy of this infatuated SOVEREIGN. Ever prepared to sacrifice the better and more generous feelings of his nature to his love of power, he judges all mankind by himself, and presumes them ready to conspire against him when ever they see before them a prospect of making their treason the ladder to.wealth and distinction. There is no quality more required in a Prince than prudence, but jealousy and constant racking suspicion is neither a prudence in itself, nor in any way whatever allied to that virtue. It is yet doubtful as to what course the KING will pursue respecting those Peers who refuse to preside at the trials, and still more with regard to such of that body as pronounce the trials unjust and unconstitu tional. A protest against the trials, by any member of the Chamber of Peers, must go a great way to in validate the whole proceedings ; inasmuch as the Peers have to decide both upon the existence of crime and the extent of the punishment. In a legislative capacity the question at issue is generally a matter of opinion ; but in a judicial one it can only b• a matter of fact, especially where the will of the ' judges constitutes the only law applicable to the case under or before the Court. But however this may be decided, the KING will find it a rather difficult matter to deal with the refractory Peers, in a case where the constitution has armed him with no power. The Peers may, or may not, give their attendance, just as they please, without incurring any recognized respon sibility. The Marquis de DREUX BREZIS has ad dressed a very able letter to the President, Baron PASQUIER, in which he protests against the trials as altogether unnecessary ; and by implication proves that there was not a jot of difference between the con duct of the prisoners, and that of the KING himself, so far as he was assisting at the expulsion of CHARLES X. The number of prisoners now under sentence of trial for high treason amounts to one hundred and ninety two. Of this number one hundred and ten are accused of open rebellion ; nineteen are public writers, charged with inciting the populace through the public press, to dethrone the KING ; and the remaining sixty-three are to be tried as accessories, they having contributed by their fortune and interest to forward a rebellion for the overthrow of the ORLEANS dynasty. For all these crimes the legal punishment is death. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pants, MAY 4. Five per Cents., 107 f. 70c. 85c. 70c. Four per Cents., 99f. 20c. Three per Cents. 81f. 90c. 85c. 90c.

Brussels and German Papers have been received. Extracts from the former will be found in another column. The German Journals do not contain a paragraph of the slightest importance. Cape Qf Good Hope papers to the 22d of Feb ruary, and Madras papers to the 4th of January, have been received. The following extracts contain all the latest intelligence from the Cape, relative to the late insurrection of the Caffre hordes in the interior : Despatches have this moment been received from Colonel Smith, the Commander of the Forces, giving the details of a series of operations against the enemy, all, of which have been successful, though we are sorry to add, with the loss of five killed on our part, and of several wounded. We now lay before the public the following particulars : " The Head-quarter Division crossed at Frampeton's Drift, River rather high ; it was formed into three divisions. One under Capt. Halifax, 2 Companies of the 75th Regiment, 20 Cavalry, and 60 Infantry Sharp Shooters ; marched up to the bank of the river, and penetrating a kloof about four miles above Frampeton's Drift, laid quiet till morning. Another corps under Major M'Lean entered another kloof about a mile and a half up the river, and also lay quiet. The Head quarter Division marched to the Chusie, rested an hour and a half, and at daybreak came upon the rear of the enemy's position. The thick bushy kloofs were studded with the enemy's kraals. On seeing us they raised their cry of alarm, and turned out their cattle, which were soon in the bush and out of our view. We cannonaded them where most of the Caffres seemed assembled, and immediately penetrated the thick bush at three points. The enemy defended himself de sperately ; and disputed every inch of ground—but the gal lantry of our troops overcame all obstacles, and in the course of a few hours, the two divisions emerged from their respective kloofs, sweeping before them large herds of cattle. On the right, Colonel Somerset crossing at Caffre Drift with a three pounder and 415 cavalry, turning to the left, attacked the enemy in his strong holds, capturing 750 head of cattle.

Richard Bentley, London, 1835. This is a very animatod and interesting novel. The plot is so ingeniously contejved as to keep the reader's curiosity in a state of excitement from beginning to end. This is as it should be. Modern writers are too apt to forget the real purpose of 1-7ction, which should consist as much in the working out of an intricate fable as in the development of charactery or the illustra tion of manners. There should be, in short, as in Fielding's Tom Jones," always a mystery to pene trate, and in this very essential portion of story-telling, the present authoress (whom we understand to be Miss Cathcart, a near relative of the Earl of that name), has shown herself to be a perfect mistress. In the subordinate features of her novel, namely, in the dia logue, and in sketches of the existing state of society, she has demonstrated equal talent. The story of the " Heir of Mordaunt" turns chiefly on two points, one of which is a certain secret agency operating in manifold ways against the happiness of the hero and heroine (Lord Delmore and Augusta IVlordaunt), the prime mover of which is not for a long time suspected ; while the other consists of the sur reptitious claims set up by various pretenders to the property of Mordaunt, involving situations powerfully moving the sympathy, and stimulating the anxiety of the reader. In threading the mazes of the tale, and pursuing them to the denouement, we have been more than ordinarily amused, and hail with pleasure this re currence to a genuine taste in fiction. Of the characters we were chiefly struck by those of Lady Caroline Mortimer and Mr. Stafford, alias O'Donnel ; the former a mischievous, revengeful, scheming woman of birth, scattering her evil spells around her, and heaping up, not, as she trusted, the ruin of others, but enduring remorse for herself ; and the latter an unprincipled rota, who attempts to prop his declining fortunes by perpetual falsehood and daring pretence. For such as read novels for entertainment, here is one which will delightfully beguile an evening or two ; and those who, like Jacques, love to extract a moral from every thing, will find in the perusal much matter for meditation. The Princess Victoria's birth-day is to be cele brated at the Surrey Zoological Gardens by a grand fete, on which occasion the veteran aeronaut, Green, i s t o ma k e hi s last ascent but one (being the 199th) accompanied by the well-known monkey, Jacoppo, who is to descend in a pa rachute. ACCIDENT. —A young artist, Bates, went to pur chase paint, and while there, had the misfortune to fall through a trap door to the stable below—a distance of about eighteen feet. He was taken up in much agony, and found to have fractured his arm in two places, the bone literally pro truding through the skin I What renders the accident more distressing is, that the suffering individual is a stranger in th e island, without friends and money. He is in a very dangerous state.—Jersey Argus. Mr. Sheil i ntends to call for a vote of the House on the oath q uestion, though no rational b e i ng , w h o h as a spark of candour in his breast, can regard th e Pha r i sa i ca l f uss that is made about it, as anything more than a second edition of the rogueries that were played off upon the stupidity of George the Third, on the Coronation oath.—Dublin Register. A most alarming fire took place at Bideford on Friday, at the Plough Inn, kept by M r . L oc k.

Several witnesses were sworn for examination before the Judges in the Graham's Estate Bill. Their Lordships then adjourned to 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. THE FUNDS.-CLOSING PRICES.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. The first subscription ball took place on Monday night, and although many of the subscribers who were at the Duchess of Kent's party were prevented being present, it was most nume • rously attended, but nothing could be more select ; and from the scrupulous care adopted to keep these balls so, we are as sured of their full success, and the fashionable world will duly appreciate the advantage of the superintendence of a master of the ceremonies, and under such distinguished patronesses. The company began to assemble soon after ten o'clock. The Marchioness Dowager of Salisbury and her party were con ducted by Mr. Marshall to the Royal box appropriated for the Ladies Patronesses. Dancing then cemmenced. Weippert's band was in attendance, and made a happy selection of quad rilles and waltzes, particularly those from La Juive, Le Bronze Cheval, La Puritanne, and the Moscow Waltz and Neapolitan Galopes. Among the company present were— the Marchioness Dowager of Salisbury, the Earl of Hillsbo rough, Lord Burghersh, Lord W. Lennox, Sir Burgess Camac, the Hon. W. West, Sir George Tuite ; Ladies Forbes and Anson ; Mesdames Camac, Eden, Bennett, Bowen, Tor rington, Drummond, Fitzgerald, Harriott, Jenkins, Stackpole, Walter, Roden, Porter, Foley, Wilkinson, Simpson ; Misses Anson, Bennett, Chaloner, two Mollings, two Tuites, Walter, Porter, two Barings, two Gages, Humphreys; Colonels Sir Richard Armstrong, Bagnold, Harriott, and Green ; Captains Coulthard, Edward Meade, Gossett, Mayne, Richardson, Bat tersby, Johnson, Smith:; Messrs. Archbald, Bennett, Bruce, Bond, Camac, Cuthbert, two Dorringtons, Codrington, M.P., Fitzgerald, Fisher, Gaselee, Grant, Hunter, Jenkins, Luke, Mollings, Maddock, Pemberton, Scriven, Sterling, Smythe, Smith, Sloughton, Shaw, Vere, Roden, Nicholson, Monro, Wilkinson, &c. &c. With the concurrence of the Ladies Pa tronesses the next ball will be on Friday, the 15th instant, in stead of the 18th, so as not to be lessened in interest by the third party of the Duchess of Kent's, or interfere with a Charity ball announced elsewhere. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all descriptions of grain this week are short, and the return of Flour scanty. The trade for fine Wheat continues steady, M last week's prices.

The Money Market during the whole of yesterday was steady, without any occurrence of the least consequence. The decline in India Bonds and Exchequer Bills, is entirely owing to the operation of the public Consols, which closed at 921 for Account, and opened at the same price this morning.

Hostilities have commenced between the Bank of England and London and Westminster Bank. The former has filled a Bill in Chancery against the London and Westminster Bank, to prevent it from accepting any bills. The London and Westminster Bank have put in their answer this morning. The British, as well as th e Forei g n funds hav e continued during the morning stationary, with little business doing. Consols may be quoted 92:1 for the Account ; for Money, 922 ; Exchequer Bills, 32 prem. ; India Bonds, 14; India Stock, 261 ; Bank Stock, 21 7.

EASTBOURNE.--The account given in some quar ters of the meeting of agricultural labourers residing in the parishes of this union which took place at Jevington Holt a short time back, was much exaggerated. The number of per sons assembled did not exceed 300; and the poor woman who cut her throat is still alive, and gives a very different reason from that stated the rash attempt. —,Brighton Guardian. HOUSE. OF LORDS. -(THIS DAY.) The House met to-day at 12 o'clock. The Peers present were the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Kenyon, Lord Suffield, and the Bishop of Bristol. NEW SPEAKER. The Earl of SHAFTE SB UR Y rose and said, —My Lords, I have to inform your Lordships that his Majesty has appointed Lord Denman, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, to hold the office of Speaker of this House. I there fore move that the Letters Patent be now read. This having been done, the Noble Earl said,—l have also to acquaint your Lordships that his Majesty has issued a Commission ar pouting me to do the duty of the office of Speaker, in the absence of Lord Denman. The letters patent for this purpose having also been read , the Noble Earl took his seat on the woolsack. Strang were then ordered to withdraw, while prayers were read. GAOL COMMITTEE. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, Captain Chapman, the Governor of the Penitentiary was ordered to attend the service of the House to-morrow. Several witnesses were then sworn to give evidence before the Gaol Committee, and the House adjourned to half-p l O three o'clock. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) GARRITT V. SHARPE. This was an action of tresspass on the case tried before gr; • Justice Coleridge at the last Hereford Assizes. The allegea , trespass was that the defendant had erected certain wooden palings opposite the windows of the plaintiffs barn, by w h ic h the light was obstructed. The jury found for the defendant. A rule for a now trial had been subsequently obtained by Mr. Sergeant Spankie, on the ground that the Learned Jude had rejected evidence at the trial, upon which he had afterwarcti argued in summing up the case to the jury. Mr. PLATT now appeared to shew cause against the vile' He contended that there was no proof of the defendant having committed any nuisance, on the contrary, it was clear from the evidence that the plaintiff had been the aggressor, he halting made openings in his barn to which he was not entitled by a n y right or usage. Mr. ADDISON followed on the same side. Mr. TIIESSIGER replied. . The Court took time to consider its judgment. DOE DEM. JOHNSTON V. BAYNTUM. This was an action of ejectment brought by a Mr Johnston, the lessor of the plaintiff, to recover possession of a cottage and garden. The case had been tried at Lewes, be- • fore Mr. Justice Littledale, and the Jury had found for the de fendant, and they had also found that the defendant had oh tained possession of the premises by fraud. It appeared that on the death of Johnston, his widow retained possession of th e cottage for a few months and then left it, having put up a a& tice that it was to be let, and leaving the k e y s w ith a servan t who resided in the neighbourhood. The defendant, M 1 1; Bayntum, who was the daughter of Johnston by a former wil e ; was in the habit of getting vegetables fro m th e g arden, an got the keys from the servant for that purpose, and then re tained possession of the cottage. The Jury having found that this possession had been obtained by fraud, the Learned Judge had at the trial given leave to move for a rule to enter a vera i '" • for the plaintiff. Mr. PLATT now showed cause against 'the rule. The a nd. ing of the Jury was not sufficient to enable the lessor of the plaintiff to a verdict, as the onus still rested with her to make out her title to the premises in question. Both parties laid claim a to the house and garden, and he submitted that a rule for new trial would be the proper course for their LordshiPa.; adopt, as both parties could then bring forward their respect ° ' titles, and thereby enable a Jury to decide to whom the Pre perty really belonged. The CouaT thought that the Rule in this case must be Ma de absolute, inasmuch as the party letting the other into peas e : sion must be presumed to have a prior title, and if a pull ° ,, at tained a possession by , any fraudulent representation/ would not throw the onus upon the other party to prove ", title. The defendent must put the lessor of the plaintiff the position in which she originally stood by gi v ing up r id session, and then if the defendant had any title, she en ti bring her ejectment.—Rule absolute. • COMMON PLEAS. ',_( THIS DAY.) • ALEXANDER V. GARDENER. This was an action upon a bill of exchange at three month:it for a quantity of butter which was to be brought from Holl an j the time of the bill to commence running from the arriva l bad the ship, and the landing of the goods: The defendants I ', engaged, by special contract, to supply the butter before t"" expiration of the month of October last, which, however. 00 did not fulfil, and a verdict had been given against them uP °l3 that ground. ea Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD (with whom was Mr. Kelly) 0101 d for a new trial upon the ground that the defendants ha waived the plea upon which the Jury found, and that the a ct % tion ought to have been founded upon this special contr a and not for goods bargained and sold. Mr. Sergeant WILDE (with whom was Mr. Martin) 0 posed the motion. The Court, to-day, heard the arguments of the Learne d. Counsel on both sides. LEITH ELECTION. NOMINATION. On Saturday, the nomination of candidates for the repre' sentation of this district took place in front of the Exchang e ' Leith. The Lord Advocate was proposed by Provost Whe and seconded by Provost Bailey. Mr. Aitchison and 1 " 1.. Coalen respectively proposed and seconded Sir D.

(While the Lord Advocate was deliverinags his address, a scuffle took place in the crowd, and a stick 11 ,_. 4 ‘, thrown up. The Lord Advocate ordered an individual to taken into custody, which created considerable disturbanc e 11, interruption.
