Notices of motions having been disposed of at five o'clock, the SPEAKER read his Majesty's Speech, at the conclusion of which Lord SAND 0 N rose and said—even if this were not so portant an occasion, I feel much difficulty in addressing this House, for I must say I never ventured to trespass on its attention without the deepest feeling of my own inadequacy of such an undertaking. The object which I have in view is to state to the House my reasons for so doing.—( Hear.) I have felt the great difficulty of this in my own mind in endeavouring to explain the grounds upon which I rise on the present occasion, to endeavour to persuade the House to agree to an addres in accordance with the speech delivered from the throne. I feel tiii3 to be no ordinary occasion, either in importance to the country or to the House. It is this feelisig which induces me to ask more than the usual share of your at_ ention at this moment. However painful, however onerous, however alien and uncongenial to my parliamentary habits, which have never led me to trespass on your attention for any great length of time, yet, Sir, when the ques tion was put to me whether I would undertake this task, I did not hesitate one instant. I felt that. it was my duty, that having at all times supported religious liberty to every class of my felisass-countrymen, I was, at the same time, not prepared to identify myself with those who were its avowed enemies. I was not inclined to put that construction which has been done by many others, that it was not so much intended to give to public opinion a useful controul over the members of the administration, as it was to decide who those ministers were to be.—( Loud cheering from the opposition.) I felt that this opinion was congenial to a certain party—(Hear, hear) — but I was anxious to show that there was one who did not join in that opinion. I was desirous to support that claim which the Right Hon. Baronet, now at the head of his Ma jesty's Government, has on his country, that he should have a fair trial, and a candid hearing.--( Hear.) I felt that the prerogative of the Crown was involved in this exercise of opinion, and I felt that it would be indeed absolutely extin guished if, without further cause, a fair trial were not granted. Having never myself entertained any confidence in Lord Melbourne's administration, I was not anxious to enquire what were the reasons on which that administration was dis missed, and the present were established in its place.— (Cheers from the opposition.) But Sir, that enquiry was made by another party--( Continued cheers from the Opposition)— and it is quite right that such an enquiry should be made, since the exercise of so important a prerogative cannot ' be a matter of indifference to any representative.— If on these general grounds I felt disposed to take a part on the present occasion, which I now do, the speech which we have just received from the throne con firms me in the propriety of the course which I have deemed right to pursue. I ask them who were connect ed with Lord Grey's Administration, and confident t'sat they will not desert the principles of that junction.," I ask, arc these principles endangered by the p.restnt Administra tion? The principles which were embiszoned on the standard of that Administration were :-ease, Economy, and Re form." With regard to peace, there cannot be the least apprehension that while the present Administration is ie power, that ne;nciple will be endangered—for I find ..,at with some c'S'untries we are on terms of a friendly ‘`. l .ier countries we are on more errrie—(-tang,Cheers while with from the Ministerial side, - and loud lather from the Oppositie free o states n. At same time, bur connection with th . oir noteepte continue uninterrupted, and those stater, which tie hot enjoy the great blessings of free Gmrernment feel such confidence in the maintenance of the peace of Europe that they are disposed to rely upon the prefessions of the present, and to live in peace and harmony with neighbouring states.—( Ironical cheers from the Opposition.) I suppose, from the cheers with which Hon. Gentlemen receive this statement, that they consider it disad vantageous to maintain the peace of Europe. This is a new doctrine of the Whigs—it is not the doctrine of the old Whigs--it is not the doctrine of Mr. Fox, when it was merely considered, not whether the measures of the British Government tended to promote the interests of other coun tries, provided that the interests of Britain alone were con sulted. (Great cheering.) It was a strange doctrine of those who professed the principles of non-interference, professions very highly made in language, but not in fact. The name of the Duke of Wellington - and his colleagues were sufficient—(Hear, hear)—their character for econo mical Reform, which had received the eulogy of their successors, ought to be a guarantee of the good faith with which they intend to act in this respect : but the estimates which, according to his Majesty's Speech, are to be laid before us, afford us something more than an hypothetical conclusion, and sufficient, in my opinion, to satisfy even the Honourable Member for INliadlesex (Mr. Hume). Sir, I hope in that state of the public revenue—l hope we may see after the charges necessarily incurred by that great act of humanity, the act for the abolition of Negro Slavery— when I say these charges shall have been defrayed, I hope to sec considerable relief, and that we shall find large burdens taken off the shoulders of the people. And although I am more intimately connected with the commercial than with the agricultural interest, yet I do hope that the interest of the latter shall never he lost sight of by the Government or by this House. —( Hear, hear.) The third great question, and by far the greatest one, no doubt, was that of Reform.—( Cheers.) Sir, Lord Grey, in the question of Parliamentary Reform, wade lsrger concessions to the public feeling than lie had originally intended.—( No, no s from the opposition.) He went so far avowedly for the pur pose of avoiding further advances on the road of reform which some gentlemen were inclined to travel, and accordingly he resisted, and those who were his colleagues in office resisted the motions made from time to time by honourable Gentlemen for further changes in our parliamentary system. These changes were moved for by men who now sit at the ' same side of the House with the Members of the late Govern ment.—( Hear.) Therefore, with regard to Reform, I think it is quite apparent that Lord Grey had gone the full length of his measures, and to the extent of the prire;ples propounded by his Administration. If they had not done more in carrying forward reform, do any Hon. Gentlemen mean to stand up and say that they expect further concession from that party. —( Hear and cheers from the Opposition.) Am Ito under stand that cheer as acquiescing in my assertion ?—( No.) I say I must do so in any assembly where common sense preponderates. I thought Hon. Gentlemen would 'leave that manner of de bating in their taverns and their hustings. I know it will be said that the present Government, if they follow up the principle of reform will be open to a charge of inconsistency. I know it may be said that they are untrue to their pro fessions, if they do not repeal that which, while it was in progress, they described as fatal to the into ts of this country; but I do not think that this agree in this opinion, o r b e li eve th a t th e y le P .ouse will ;nper - with their principles, or sacrifice their feelings in *l- le least degree. I think that that doctrine will be n . o Ic) " . er held, it would be dangerous to the House's dignity, as of society. .T.he question would be injurious to the interests 'Catholic Emancipation was ion of considered one of great importance and difficulty, at the same time, I never heard it asserted of any who took office since, and who had voted for thelßill after opposing it, that he had teen a traitor to his prin ciples.—( Hear.) But, Sir, if in the way of Parliamentary Reform there was any difficulty of an association between the present and the late Administration, under the manage ment of Lord Grey—( Hear, and laughter from the Opposi tion)—l say Lord Grey has given no more than the present Administration could have given, and the present Administra tion will not therefore take away anything. You will say the Re form Bill was not an ideal measure, but that it it was to be one of effect, and perhaps no subject is so important as that of the reform of the municipal corporations.—( Hear, hear.) There is no doubt that in those corporations consi derable abuses exist, but it is a question of great compli cation and 'difficulty.—( Cries of " Hesr, hear.") Upon this his Majesty's Commissioners, who were appointed under the Ministry of Lord Grey haye not yet made their re port, and it cannot be expected that this or any other Mi nistry can bring forward any definitive measure, until the re sult of that enquiry be known.—( Hear,]hear, hear.) I have at the same time a confidence in that report, and wL .,011 it is once made, the present Government a toss oe slow, not only in giving full consid now, but elrect to the recommendations fount.' tartoii._l( Hear, htiam Sir, with regard to Ono pievanNS ) itha practical grievances of dissente rs, i t is perhar the second question in importance. ear, I do hot t oneeive that much difference exists . be;s reen the printiiples of the two parties ; but I find that, 'there is an agreement upon three great points—marriages, registration tot births, and exemption from Church rates.— With regard to Church Reform, he entertained not the slightest doubt but the Right Hon. Baronet would introduce such Constitutional measures as would meet any objection ; and the only difficulty then would be in the detail. Now, as to the Church -rate, lt was true that it was a burthen ; but it fell upon the land, and from the measures which were under! consideration would relieve them from the burthen, and the course which the Right Hon. Baronet was detdrmined to pursue would overcome all difficulties.—( Cheers from the Opposition.) The admission of Dissenters to the University was another question which absorbed public attention. He would not discuss the point then in detail as to what the Dis senters were entitled to. They had already obtained many pri vileges to which h e wou ld not quest i on their right. However, no material difference of opinion existed upon that ground. And no doubt all real grievances would be readily and freely redressed.—( Cheers.) The Right Hon. Baronet was not unmindful of the necessity there was for the improvements of the legal institutions of the country. In his address to his constituents, he had pronounced that the improvement in the civil and ecclesiastical institutions of the country claimed and should have his attention.—( Cheers.) And such improvements, while they gave tranittillity to the country, would afford security to property. '1 here was another impor tant point which demanded their best attention, and that was the question of Irish Tithes--( Hear)—and he was assured that a measure would be announced which would prove a satis factory arrangement of that question, and no doubt would entitle it to the co-operation of those on the other side of the House who gave their support to Lord Grey's measure. ( Cheers.) And he regretted that the Bill which had been introduced by his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for Ire land had been thrown out, but he still felt confident that the measure which his Majesty's Government are about to intro duce would meet with a support, and lead to a more success. ful termination : it ! would be unlike the measure introduced by the Hon. Member for Dublin, which, while it disregarded the rights of one party, gave an inordinate power to the other. At the same time I cannot help saying that the feeling of this House decidedly was that all the evils which arose from the present system, and from the collection of the tithe in small sums, were still in existence; and that these could only be got rid of by abolishing the plan of composition.—( Hear.) It is undeniable that these evils existed, and it must be, as I am sure, the common object of every government to get rid of these evils. We are told also, that another great evil attendant upon the present system of the Established Church in Ireland, is, that when the peasantry have paid their dues to the Protestant Church Establishment—a Church unconnected with the religious instruction of the people—they have, in addition, to pay for the support of a Church of their own. If it were proposed to take away the revenues of the Protestant Church in certain parts of Ireland, and transfer them to the Roman Catholic population, thereby relieving them from the tax which (by the evidence of persons of their own persuasion) they labour under, thereby rendering the clergy independent of their own flocks, whatever objections might arise (and they were nothing material), at least a great good would be obtained. The Members of the late Administration, one and all, dis claimed the intention, in their plan, of giving one shilling to the Catholic Priesthood. Their scheme was that tithe was still to be collected in all its odium, and then that they she& get rid of a certain number of the Pro testant clerggmen, from the revenues of whose parishes the Catholif clergy were to be paid. We cannot do what that Geernment proposed to do, without inflicting a great abodit upon the public feeling of the people of this country, and without effecting a great change in the public property, and occasioning great alarm in the minds of the people of Ireland ; and by giving a feeling of triumph to one party, and a feeling of discomfiture to the other—( Hear)—and all this without attaining any advantage such as we would wish, by relieving the peasantry of the West and South of Ireland from the burdens under which they labour. This measure did not meet, and did not attempt to meet the wants and wishes of the people. His Majesty has announced that he has in contemplation a measure of English Church Reform. ( Cheers.) This is a question of vast import ance, perhaps more important than the reform in the Church in Ireland, though much less encumbered with difficulties. It is most important to establish feelings of union and harmony between the ministers of the Church and the people. This is on all hands admitted to be most desirable. But the real question of Church reform which the Government has propounded to the country, of the one which will be the most important, is that which will be the most extensive, the safest, the most beneficial, and at the time the dearest to the hearts of the people, I mean the reform in the English Church. I do not think that this question comes with an ill grace from the present Administration. When I recollect that the first move in the better distribution of the revenues in the Church came from the same party—( Tremendous cheering from the Ministerial side of the Hous o ,- - wnen I recollect that the measure which distribiltil about 300,0001. among the working classes artd poorer part of the clergy came from Mr. Perceval and a noble and rev. relative of mine, I do not think that any charge of inconstency can be, or will be, bri . "4nt against them for bringing forward a measure of ‘.7aurch Reform.— (Loud Cheering.) It is not at all ne cessary to refer to this measure. It has been mentioned in his Majesty's speech, and it has been mentioned in that which has been lo n g b e f ore us , a ,,A *." that it is • • . in t difficult to find a subject - i nmisSion, I w say which has not t. ..-onnected with Church Reform the ..,een alluded to more or less distinctly. in of this Commission, in the object of Whieh I heartily concur, as being one of those nearest to my own feelings. I have looked for this measure with great anxiety ; it h a Measure that has been long desiderated, and coming from the quarter it does, it will not be looked to with the same jealousy.—( Cheers from the Opposition.) I am glad to see that his Majesty has so much at heart the extension of religious education to the pdorer classes, as well in this country as in Scotland. lam sincerely glad that the poorer classes in Scotland have not been forgotten. I hope that the principles laid down in that measure will be Commen surate to the religious wants of the community.—(Cheers.) I know that these are reforms not touching the feelings of many Gentlemen here, and not suitable to the Hon. Member for Dublin ; but I know that they are reforms which affect the feelings of the great majority of the people.—Great cheer ing.) We who mingle with every class of the people, know the real feelings of the people ; and those who, like myself, are representatives of the largest towns in the empire, know that such reforms interest the feelings, and will secure the approbation of the people.—( Hear.) I think that I have now touched upon all the leading subjects alluded to in the King's speech. I feel that having undertaken these Reforms, His Majesty's Government will go on in a spirit of solind and wholesome not speculative, reform. I feel that the Reforms they have proposed, give them claim—not only to the support Of their friends, but also of those who sit on the opposition benches. Ido not know in what respect those who formed part of Earl Grey's "Administration, or who supported it—or were attached to it—l do not mean the Ad mistration of Lord Melbourne, for to that Ministry I am not aware that httachment was ever shown I but I ash those who supported Earl Grey's Ministry, Whether the reforms now proposed are not such as Lord Grey himself would have proposed?—( Hear.) I ask those Gentlemen whether they feel very comfortable in the seats which they now hold, and in the company in which they now are ! Ido not allude to the personal, but to the politleal Character of Hon. Members.—( Hear, hear.) But do they feel comfortable in a union with those who advocate ani versal suffrage and all the other tenets of the Radical school ? It is possible that those gentlemen who maintain to strongly, and I believe sincerely, can long unite themselves with those who hold that the Established Church is a curse, and publicly avow they will never rest until that Church is destroyed? Can they, who are so strongly attached to the Ike - . grity of the empire, unite themsciveS With those who only suspend the agitation—( Loud. cheers from the Minittv rial benches)—who only suspend agitation at this itiottielit, for the dismemberment of the EstablishitiMit, because they think that a temporary suspension" will ultimately a d vance t h e i r cause.—( Loud cheers.) I sh'ould be curious to know what is the common principle, that over-weening principle that attaches them to that party. I t sure that it would at induce them all to emerge into this one =moil Consideration of de struction. This is not a time for party spirit—(Hear)—this I repeat, is not a time for party spirit. There are seasons in which every man is bound to think for himself, to look around, and to see the responsibility which rests upon him. I have, I must confess, sanguine hopes that a great proportion of those respectable lhe a v described, and i nae gentlemenwill z I might ot u ite ay withs thatt hosel d persons think whom they will find it consistent with their former character so to do, if I have occasional . y I will not intrud e further on, tile attention of the public, and expressed myself too strongly ; I dáti abstire the House tn:zt nothing is farther from intention, and that it is trespassi_na: rather to be attributed to my want of habit on their consideration. I have mixed largely with " 1111 ., every one in this House, but the sense of public duty would not allow me to describe less strangly my opinions on the subject of his speech from the throne. In conclusion I shall beg- pardon for having trespassed so long upon your attention, and by moving that an humble address of thanks be moved to his Majesty for his Majesty's most gracious speech. (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE S SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1835. HOLTSE OP LORDS. Long before five o'clock, there was a very full attettd6tia Of Peers, more especially on the Treasury tide of the House. Amongst the Noble Lords whom we expected to see filling those Benches, we were rather surprised to see the Duke of Richmond and th e E ar l o f Gedefieh sitting on the bench immediately below the t'easury one ; immedi ately behind whom sat, tesptctively,- the Earls of Roden and Wicklow. The appearance of the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl in such places caused considerable sett a4tin ip On the Opposition side we netted ttie DUae of aussex, the Duke of Cleveland ) the earls of Radnor and Durham, &c. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the first reading of the Bill for the better regulation of Select Vestries. THE KING'S SPEECH= The LORD CHANCVLLOR &II Had his Majesty's Speech from the Woolsack S aftr which, it was again read by the Clerk at the tial24. The Earl of HAIII2 Wiiik rose and sa id—M .) Lords, in rising to 2.:ve an address of thanks t o hi s Majesty for . his ro-- • gracious speech, I feel how mini l §tand in need of your Lordships' kindness and indulisfenee, it being the first time I have had the iidntiiir of addressing your Lordships ; and aisti from my habits and profession, I have not been much in the habit of making speeches ; nevertheless I feel and know that from your Lordships' hands I shall receive, while in the discharge of a public duty, the greatest kindness; but for that I would feel it a very great task. That task, however, is much lightened, for I never remember having heard a speech which was so likely to be satisfactory to all classes as that for which I am now about to ,return thanks. Whether, on the one band, we look at the state ments relative to the friendly situation in which this country stands with all foreign nations—whether we look at the statements made relative to the finance§ of the Country —or to the state of its commerce ; or whether, on the other hand, we look at the wishes 'expressed from the Throne in the most fervent and emphatic manner, for the happiness and the welfare of the people, and when we see a strong desire on the part of his most gracious Majesty to improve our institutions, and at the same time an emphatic declaration from his Majesty, that in his hands none of those institutions shall be deteriorated —(hear)—looking at all these statements, I am sure, my Lords, the British people will accept with gratitude the Speech from the Throne as one perfectly satisfactory— and one in which they will see that his Majesty is anxious for their welfare, and it will show them, that the King is wil ling, at all times, to tftke into his most serious considera tion their wants. My Lords, the speech enters into so many topics that it would be out of all reason for me at this moment to go into them, knowing as I do, that every one of them will be brought under your Lordship& notice in detail during the present Session of Parliament. I shall, therefore, in as short a manner as possible, generally consider the merits of the Speech, and then conclude by moving an adoption of an Address of Thanks. My Lords, it is most satisfactory to know that the relations of ,his Ma jesty with foreign powers, as we are informed of by the Speech, I believe there never was a time when peace has been pre served for so considerable a time, which must always prove a blessing to a country. On the continent, with one solitary exception, we have the gratification of knowing that the tit most tranquillity prevails.—( Hear.) Your Lordships will no doubt recollect that but a very short time since Austria, France, and Prussia, were in an unsettled state, but we have every reason to believe that the state of things in those countries is most satisfactory. His Majesty states that the question between Holland and Belgium is not yet concluded. It certainly must be a circum stance of deep regret to your Lordships that that ques tion is not yet settled, and that the kingdom of Holland should be so circumstanced. 74 Hear, hear.) especially when we consider the relation in which she stands to Great Britain, in point of trade and commerce. My Lords, whether, as I stated before, we refer to the state of our Colonies, or to the state of the Conti nent, we have reason to be satisfied. ( Hear, hear. ) his Majesty has graciously informed us that he will be enabled, in spite of the reductions that have already been made in taxa tion, considering the state of the revenue, to make further re ductions, and that you will now be gratified in knowing that not only is a further reduction of taxation in contemplation, but such is the state and property of our country, that the debt which was incurred by the compensation to the slave owners will be paid off from the revenue of the country. lam one of those who feel the greatest delight and gratification to find that his Majesty has been enabled to acquaint us, that as far as regards the arrangements that have been made, everything is satisfac tor; . And here, I trust your Lordships will forgive me for paying my humble tribute of gratitude of gratitude to the Noble Lord opposite for the manner in which he brought in and passed through the Bill which carried that great ob ject of Negro Emancipation into effect. (Cluters.- It is a consolation to the agricultural interest, that his Ma jesty, in his Speech from tne Throne has expressed his anxiety for their interests, and it is an increase to that consolation, that his Majesty has expressed himself desirous to allel4ste their distresses.--( Cheers:) if I may be tilloWed to make a remark, it would be this,—that so long as we are enabled to keep off agitation upon the question of the corn laws, to allow that question to remain at rest, coupled with the knowledge that his Majesty is de sirous to do hi utmost, and will probably be 'able to take off some of those local taxes that press most heavily upon the people ; if such a course is allowed to be pur sued I feel quite certain that in the result the best effects will be produced. But if the question should come to be agitated in Parliament, the mere agitation of the question is, in my opinion, sufficient tO depress the prospects of the trade, and may be productive of the most serious conse quences.—( Hear.) I will now, my Lords, approach another part of his Majesty's Speech, which I consider to be of the utmost importance. I believe, my Lord, there Never was a time when it more behoved every Englishman to stand forward and assist His Majesty to carry out his good intentions--( Cheers.) If ever there was a time in which his Majesty stood in need of their support it is the present, and every man ought to stand forward and support him, what ever political differences might exist.—( Cheers.)

It has therefore been considered necessary to issue a commission Pr on for the purpose of bringing about a settlement of this delicate question, so that the marriages of Dissenters may be cele brated in consonance to their feelings at the same time ensuring as mush publicity as possible, and removing their conscientiotts tiertitilel tin the Millet. On the tlUestion of Church Reform, as it is one to which the country looks ,for ward with great anxiety, I am confident all of your Lordships will enter into the views entertained by his Majesty's Go vernment, and are with them prepared to extend the foun dations of the Church, so as to make them commensurate with the wants of the people(Hear, hear)—and all those who are dispiited to ednfortil to its doctrines and discipline. It is easy to be computed that the present Church Establish ment is not equal to the wants of the people, and that cannot be better proved than from the retui n of the town of The name of it we could not hear.) It was formerly a barren and now it contains a population of 60 or 70,000 inhabitants. This shows the impropriety of confining the foundations of' the Church to the want of its present adherents, and demon strates that the establishment is not disproportioned to the pop ulation of the dotintry.—(Great cheering.) The Church is not so 'rich as people out of doors are disposed to imagine. A question of difficulty therefore remains to be settled =bow far thb Warne§ tit the higligr orders of the clergy can be reduced, and those of the working clergy increased.

This day his Majesty in person will meet the new Parliament, and recommend, in a Speech from the Throne; these principles and measures which, in the opinion of his majesty and dt his responsible tamers, p , A ; advisers, are most likdy tO ctindbec td the i*elfafe of the min , to remedy ail the evils of which any class 6f the people justly complain, and to avert the dangers with which the most valuable instittitions of the country are ttfaiiifestjv threatened: Corisideting the multiplidity, the importance - , AO the aeheaty tit the iepies td which of necessity h Majesty's speech must allttde, and the (iamb position in which the Government actually stands, there would upon the present occasion be more than Ordinary danger iii, - ay very edtiikletit pre the, eotiteno of this important coniftitiiiitii tifhl. The eiteiiinStande§ id We advert nay serve, however, in some degree to assist and giiide us in the formation of a few probable conjectures as to the general nature of the Royal Speech, and the mode iii which it rosy be expected that his Majesty *ill have been advised to deg the leading topit/s . which it will embrace. It may, for example, be anticipated, without much liability to error, that the King's Speech upon the present occasion will be of cnnsiderably more than ordinary length, and that it will develope the views and intentions of his Majesty's Government with sottie*hat more of distinctness and detail than has hitherto been aimed at in similar productions ; nor does it seem hazardous to conjecture that considerable forbearance will be practised in adverting to topics which, in the present state of parties and of opinions, are more calculated than others to provoke, dissension and stimulate debate. His Majesty will probably say that he has taken the earliest opportunity of meeting his Parliament after the recent appeal he had made to the sense of his people. His Majesty will lament the destruction of the two Houses of Parliament, and state - that this calamity was evidently the result of accident ; that a full investigation of the circumstances had taken place before the Privy Council ; and that the report of that body shall forthwith be laid before Parliament. It will no doubt be announced that his Majesty con tinues to receive from all foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition, and of their determination to concur with his Majesty in.the maintenance of general peace. It will then probably be stated that the only circumstance which threatens an interruption to the general tranquillity of Europe is the civil war which continues to exist in some of the northern provinces of Spain ; and his Majesty will naturally proceed to in form Parliament that, in conjunction with his allies, the King of the French, the Queen Regent of Spain, and the Queen of Portugal, he has agreed to certain s upplementary articles, which he will cause to be im mediately laid before them, for the completion of the objects contemplated in the treaty of April, 1834. His Majesty will express his regret that the questions in dispute between Holland and Belgium still remain unsettled. Upon the subject of our Foreign Affairs it is not to be expected, we think, that the speech will contain either more or less than we have thus ventured VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GROCER ' S COMPANY. The arguments in this case - were resumed to-day. Mr. JACOB for the defendants, Sir WILLIAM HORNE in reply. It was found by an inquisition taken in 1686 that the Grocer's Company had received, amongst other charitable gifts, various sums, to the amount of 4,5201., to be lent out in different portions to poor members of the Company, in order to enable them to set up in their trades. It appeared by a decree of the Charitable Commissioners in 1687 that the Company had become very much impoverished in con sequence of the fire of London, and that they were defi cient in their charitable accounts. In consequence whereof the decree directed the Corporation estates to be conveyed to twelve trustees, upon trust to pay the yearly growing payments to certain charitable uses charged thereupon, then to apply the surplus rents in payment of the arrears of the latter Charities, for which purpose twenty years was allowed them ; and, after discharging all these arrears upon trust to pay the Warden and Masters the Loan Fund in question for the purposes of the loans, the rest of the rents and pro fits subject to the annual payments to be held in trust for the Corporation. The object of the present suit was to have the 4,.7201., raised with interest ; which sum at com pound interest since 1686, it was calculated to above four millions and a half. However, Sir William Horne affdred to atcept a decree for 50,0001. It was in sisted no loans had ever been made in ptirsuance of the charities. 1 - 1 ~mount His HoNoun, after observing there was some obscurity concerning the nature of the charities, and after stating the facts already detailed, remarked that the decree of the Commissioners never severed the dominion over the funds from the hands of the Corporation. The money, when raised by the trustees, was to be paid to the Warden and Masters. The information must be dismissed with costs. During the day his Honour, addressing Sir William Horne, observed he had just been informed a gentleman's pocket had been picked in Court, but that the thief had been caught and taken to Bow-street. His Honour said he had applied to the Lord Chancellor to have a police officer regularly attached to the Court, and to have his salary paid out of the suitors' fund. A little after, the police officer who had been in attend ance since his Honour's application to Sir Frederick Roe, applied to his Honour in consequence of the gentleman whose pocket was picked having refused to obey the Ma gistrate's summons to attend at Bow-street. His HONOUR had no authority to interfere. Mr. MINN observed the gentleman was his client, and was waiting for the next cause in the paper. His HoNoun immediately directed the cause to stand over for to-morrow, in order that the gentleman might suf fer no inconvenience from attending the Police Office. ROLLS' COURT. COGAN V. STEVENS. This was a bill filed by the plaintiff in his character of heir-at-law of tuo testator in this case, Louis Stevens, claiming to be entitled to a sum Le thirty t . hcusand pounds. The testator, by his will, after making devise . s, di rected that a sum of thirty thousand pounds shoula l ane diately after his death ; be laid out in the purchase of an estate or estates, in the county of bei , on or Cornwall, the income of which was to belong to his widow far her life, and after her decease to his brother William and his issue, and in default in succession to his three other brothers end sister, and to their issue ; and in default, in trust to establish a charity for boys in the city of Exeter. The wi dow survived the testator, and outlived the brothers and sister, all of whom died without issue. The third brother made a will, by which he treated the thirty thousand pounds as of course going on his decease for the establishment of the charity. The sum in question, instead of being laid out in the purchase of lands, as directed, was invested in the Funds, the atinuai dividends of which the widow received during her life. The question now to be decided was, whe ther or not the heir-at-law of the testator would take the thirty thousand pounds, or whether or not that sum would fall into the general residue. Mr. BICKERSTETU was heard at great length on be half of the plaintiff. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS postponed the hearing of the reply till to-morrow (this day.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. FRANKS. This was a criminal information filed against the defen dant, at the suit of Mr. De Mole, the clerk and solicitor of the Merchant Tailors' Company, for libels alleged to have been published of and concerning that gentleman in the Sunday Herald. Proceedings had been in the first instance taken against the proprietors of the paper, but these were abandoned on their giving up 'the defendant as the author. The defendant carries on the business of a hatter, in Red cross-street, and has for sometime employed himself in the exposure of Corporation abuses. In 1833 he undertook to furnish the Sunday Herald with articles on this subject, and did in fact supply several to that paper. Among these articles, which were severally printed in September, Octo ber, November, and December, were some accusing the prosecutor of hauteur in office, complaining that the Mem bers of the Company could not obtain from him information to which they were entitled, and contrasting him with Mr. Knapp, the clerk of another Company. The libel, how eve?, Most complained of was one in which the prosecutor was described as " patronymically a Swiss, but those who are acquainted with the peregrinations and amours of his mother, may be able to trace his hauteur to the blood of a Spanish hidalgo. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in stating the case to the Jury, commented severely on this passage. Mr. Robertson, the printer of the paper, and Mr. Lewis, the proprietor of it, were called to make out the fact that the defendant was the author of the alleged libels. They could not prove his handwriting, but they proved his offer to supply ;:ticlesbearing the name under which the libels had appeared ; his to; Faking of these articles as his, own ; and his having, after the cr;.7.'inal information had been in the first instance moved for againstthe proprietors of the paper, stated that he should take time to co nsider whether he should give himself up as the author or not. Mr. HILL addressed the Jury, after which Lord DENMAN summed up, and told the Jury that it was for them to consider whether the statements in the paragraphs were or were not libellous. As to the pro ceedings by action, he was bound to tell them that it was very doubtful whether any action could be maintained by dttr perm for a libel upon a relative. The Jury retired to consider ; .and then returned a verdict of guilty on all the counts in the information but the three which related to the prosecutor's conduct in office. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. PRUHLING V. SCHRODER. Mr. Sergeant Wilde stated the case to the Jury. The plaintiffs, Messrs. Fruhling and Co., were merchants London. In 1832 they had an account with the firm of itoppert and Co., of Rio de Janeiro, amounting to 380/. sterling, and bad received from them bills of exchange to ihr.it amount, drawn upon Messrs. Schroder, of Hamburgh, the defeistipttits in the present action. Before consenting to take these bills pitiltstiffs had written to Hamburgh to know if defendants would take them up when due ; and an answer having been receivetl in the affirmative the present action was brought against them to r over the balance, the suns of 1161. 4s. hi. only having been paid. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, with interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A fortnight ago Sir L. Shadwell, the Vice-Chancellor, waited upon Sir F. not, to state that a great number of robberies had been committed in the Court over which he presided, and requested the Chief Magistrate to send an experienced officer to assist in detecting the depredators. Sir Frederick ordered Fletcher, one of the most active officers of the establishment, to go upon that duty, and the result has been the detection of two persons who had been for some time suspected. Yesterday William Thomas, a shabbily-dressed man, was put to the bar charged with picking the pocket of Mr. Pilcher, a solicitor, of a silk handkerchief. Mr. Jones, a solicitor's clerk, was in the Vice-Chancel lor's Court yesterday morning, and saw Mr. Pilcher sit ting on one of the benches instructing Counsel in a cause. His handkerchief was partly hanging out of his pocket, and he saw the prisoner creep up behind him and take it out and walk away with it under his coat. He had only got two or three yards when he was taken into custody by Fletcher, the officer. Fletcher said he had his eye on the prisoner, and saw him take the handkerchief. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, told a rambling story of his having gone into the Vice-Chancel lor's Court to meet a man whom he saw for the first time in his life on Saturday, and who appointed to see him there, and promised to procure him employment. He was fully committed to Newgate. James 1?led was charged with stealing an umbrella, the property of 0. F. Becher, Esq., a barrister in the Vice- Chancellor's Court. Mr. Becher had his umbrella with bin: in the row upon which he sat, and another gentleman in passing out knocked it down. The prisoner picked it up and placed it upright, and in a few moments he again took hold of it, and walked out of the Court with it. Fletcher, who had been watching him, suffered him to get into the street, in order to ascertain clearly his intention, and he then took him into custody. The prisoner said he had no intention to steal the um brella. He found it lying down, and took it for the pur pose of handing it to Baker, the constable of the Court, when he was seized by Fletcher. He was a law-writer, and was in great distress. He was committed. SUICIDE OF A BOY. Yesterday evening, an inquest, which had been adjourned from Wednesday last, was resumed at the vestry-hall of St. John's, Southwark, before Mr. Payne and a respect able Jury, to inquire touching the death of George Austin, a fine lad, aged 15, who committed suicide by throwing himself off London-bridge, arising from circumstances of an extraordinary and peculiarly distressing nature, which were principally set forth in the evidence of a boy, who worked with the deceased at the same manufactory, named William Barstolen. He knew the deceased, who also worked for the same employer as himself ; witness remembers the Saturday be fore the deceased was missed ; on that day the deceased was very different in his manner from what he usually was ; be was confused and dull, and the work be undertook to do he was unable to proceed with ; he (deceased) said he was distracted in his mind, and having sharpsned the point of a large clasp pocket-knife, by the grindstone on the premis es he id he shculd stab himself with it before the mer'''' night, or make away with himself somehow, and end 1 ! i . 5 miseries.
