To concludo with the New Grand Comic Pantomime, called HARLEQUIN AND QUEEN MAB; OR, THE THREE GLASS DISTAFF& the same time, he may be seized with a sudden obliquity of vision, which enables him only to catch the eye of the latter. This is a grievance, and must be abated, especially when we find that the individual to whom such infirmities may occur, is a red-hot, uncompromising partizan. Let the Reformers then summon all their forces and oppose him. They cannot try their strength on a question better calculated to increase their moral influence with the country. It is one, not of partizanship, but of fair play ; and where is the Englishman who will not take the right view of it ? Lord STORMONT—as we perceive by a speech of his, delivered at Hampstead on the occasion of a dinner given to his pet, Tom Woou— is full of confidence (or rather assurance) as re spects the strength of his party. He says they will carry the Address by an overwhelming majority. His Lordship must be a man of surprising powers of face to volunteer such a statement at such a moment 1 That the Tories may succeed, is possible, but not probable. But, gracious God 1 by what a sacrifice of principle will their triumph be achieved 1 In the first place, they must all, to a man, repudiate the Tam worth Manifesto ; secondly, they must consent, how ever ungraciously, to forget all the fine things they have said against Reform, and become the mere blind, passive tools of the Reformers. They know well they cannot stand on their present footing. The ground is undermined beneath them, and the first Liberal explo sion will blow them all into the air. The Tories are fully aware of this, and the question with them now is, not whether they shall rat—for that point is already settledbut to what tent they shall rat. We shall not lose sight of the question of the Speakership, for it is one of vital importance to both parties. Harlequin, Mr. Ellar ; Pantaloon, Mr. F. Sutton; Clown, Mr. T.

HAMBURG, Nov. 26, 1834 IIEINE BROTHERS, Contractors for the GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authority and ender guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on the 18th of March next ; and Tickets are now selling at 108 marks baneo, or N. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 103 marks, which 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated in marks baneo, and payable without any deduction whatever ; 4,000 tickets being delivered gratis to the holders of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, those purchasing one ticket, at the trifling cost of 81., may obtain three prizes, and thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, equal to 13,000/. sterling. Owing to the gratis-tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, so that, ef course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present first prise of 81., are requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 101. note will receive an order for the balance of 2/., together with the ticket, by return of mail ; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable information, being always sent with the tie,cets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, er stating the mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by...pur chasing, may depend en the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a chant,* sr getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the old-established and most lucky Office. The indolication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 30 minutes past 3 o'clock. LONDON, FRIDAY' EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1536. Since writing the above, we have very great pleasure in being able to lay the following letters before our readers : " Woburn Abbey, Jan. 27, 1835. " My Dear Abercromby, " I was very sorry to find from the different communica tions which I have had with you, that you were so unwilling to comply with the desire of many Members of the House of Commons, that you should be proposed for the Chair at the meeting of the new Parliament. 44 After you had declined, however, I should have been myself reluctant to press on you a proposition which I found personally unacceptable ; but when I tell you that I have been urged from various quarters, and in the strongest terms, to place before you the earnest wishes and general concurrence of those with whom you have been connected in public life, that you should allow your self to be put in nomination for the Chair, I trust you will reconsider your decision. Above all, I think you will be influenced by the argument I have to state— that they view the present election of a Speaker as a question not solely of individual preference, but of public principle ; and they are convinced, that in order to try this question with the utmost advantage, it is of great import ance that you should not decline this high honour, if the House should be willing to confer it upon you. " I remain ever, your's, most faithfully, The first trial of strengh in the ensuing Session will, we have every reason to believe, be made in the choice of a Speaker. On this point the Reformers are una nimous. The gentleman whom it is most likely they will propose is Mr. ABERCROMBY ; and without de siring to undervalue or disparage the claims of others, we may say that there is no one better qualified, by his tact, his experience, and the general courtesy of his bearing, to preside over the debates in the House of Commons, than this gentleman. As for Sir CHARLES MANNERS SUTTON, the more we consider the ques tion, the more deeply impressed are we with a sense of his ineligibility. He is no longer the temperate, impartial man that he once was. A painful conviction of the falling fortunes of the Tories, and that they were never so much in need of help as during the last few months, have roused in him all the slumbering fires of partizanship. It is beyond a doubt that he, who by virtue of his office should have been the last man on earth to display the colours of either Tory or Reformer—for we repudiate the claims of the Tories as Reformers—was among the first to advise the dis solution of that very Parliament over which he pre sided, on the express understanding that he should pre serve a dignified impartiality. And having advised one dissolution, what should prevent him from advising another? Take but the first step—pass but the Ru bicon—and all the rest follows as a matter of course. Is such a man, then, so sternly and we are sure conscientiously, opposed to Reform, fitted to pre side over the debates of a Reformed House ? It will be observed, that we here speak of Sir C. SuT. TON, not as he was, but is ; and speaking of him in this spirit, we say, that his re-election must be opposed. The SPEAKER, though he takes no share in Parlia mentary discussions, has more influence over them than is generally imagined. He has it in his power, indi rectly, perhaps, but most effectually, to discourage the attempts of an able, but an unpractised debater, op posed to his, own party, and encourage those of a blockhead, of his own way of thinking. When a Re former and a Tory rise to address the House at "J. RUSSELL The Right Hon. J. Abercromby." " Fenton's Hotel, Jan. 29, 1835 " My Dear Lord John, " My earnest desire to decline the honour of being pro posed as a candidate for the Chair on the meeting of the new Parliament, has been so often and so strongly ex pressed to you and to others, that I was in hopes that it " I remain, yours, very truly and faithfully, " J. ABERCROMBY. " To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell." Russian claims. The Journal des Debats, parti cular, a paper in the confidence of Ministe:s , h as given publicity to some strange disclosures, relitive t o the secret purposes of the Courts of Versailles and Petersburgh, in the event of a balance being struck against them at the final settlement of their respective claims. After recommending to the two Governments a formal renunciation of all pecuniary claims on each other, the Debats subjoins the following cogent season for giving such counsel Our motive is this first of all, we are persuaded, that if Russia finds herself a debtor at the casting up of the account, she will not pay an atom. And we are also as certain, th at should France be found to be indebted, there is n ot an Administration nor a Minister who dare ask of a Chamber of Deputies to pay one sous of indemnity to Russia, as representative and as heir to Poland." A better or more conclusive reason than this, for recommending a reciprocal renunciation of pecuniary claims, could not, we are persuaded, be advance d b y SoLomort himself, were the question of the two Mo marchs submitted to him by way of second part of the quarrel of the two harlots. The mere formality of examining accounts, and balancing claims, may cer tainly be well dispensed with, where the parties are previously resolved to pay nothing. With respect to the intelligence from Spain, these jour nals are all at sixes and sevens—some representing the QUEEN'S' affairs as flourishing, others as desperate. The only point ascertained is, that the Spanish Chambers de precate all active interference on the part of France, and that the present Governments of France and England have avowed a determination of remaining neutral. We are informed that when General ALAVA, in his recent mission to Paris and London, reminded the Duke of WELLINGTON of the treaty of quadruple alli ance, his Grace answered that no notice of the treaty would be taken by England, but that the Government would act in the same way as if it never had an existence. The report of an engagement between the QUEEN'S troops and the Carlists in the north will be found in our extracts. Our readers will find, by a speech delivered by Mr. GORDON to his constituents at Cricklade, that it was the intention of the MELBOURNE Administration to have taken off a considerable portion of the Malt Tax. would have been acquiesced in. " However painful it would have been to me to maintain my own opinion in opposition to that of so many ofmy friends, I should have adhered to it, if the approaching contest had involved only a question of personal preference. " As I am now aware that the governing motive of those who wish me to alter my decision, is a desire to vindicate a public principle, which they think it their duty as Members of the House of Commons to maintain, I feel that the indulgence of my own wishes, would subject me to the charge of obstinacy, or of selfishness ; and therefore, if the choice should fall on me, I shall be ready to perform the duties of the office, to the best of my ability. The accounts received this morning from Madrid are wholly connected with the rebellion of the troops on the 18th instant, the particulars of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. The revolt has caused the greatest alarm in every part of Spain, and, coupled with the motion only made the day previous in the Chamber of Procuradores, for the dismissal of the Ca binet, has unquestionably a very ominous ap pearance. The moral shock which the allegiance of the troops has received is an important consideration in the present state of public affairs ; nor do we believe that a more decidedly culpable course could be adopted, than that of sending this handful of rebels, against all order and Government, to join the main body of the army in the North. The Spanish Government is doing all it can to escape the charge of pusillanimity in this transaction, by declaring that the symptoms of revolt on the part of the Urban militia could not be mistaken. If this be correct, it only makes the matter a million of times worse ; for it were certainly less a subject of national re gret, that the authorities were over-tender of the lives of disorderly Spaniards, than that, an attempt to bring them to condign punishment would peril the security of the throne. Gen. LLAUDER is reported to have challenged Senor CARASCO, in consequence of the recent attack made upon his character as a Minister, by CARASCO, in the Chamber of Procuradores. The QUEEN con tinues in good health, and loses no opportunity of ap pearing in public . With the fate of Sir GEORGE MURRAY fresh before their eyes, it is not very likely that the Reform Members will desert principles, upon the faith of which, as openly professed, they became returned as Representatives of the independent portion of the people of England. A dereliction of the duty, which they owe alike to their own honour and their consti tuents, would inevitably lead to the same personal consequences that followed upon the doings of Sir GEORGE, as contrasted with his sayings. Whatever may be the actual majority of the Anti- Tories in the House over their adversaries--assuming the " Moderates" of either party to neutralise each other in numerical strength—there cannot be a doubt that the Government must prepare itself for a defeat. Whether they have determined upon a de parture from the rule of resignation, which has hitherto guided an out-voted Administration, is best known to themselves. It is not very unlikely, however, from the obstinate adherence to office which they display, in the teeth of returns pre ponderatingly adverse to Toryism, that such may be the case. It will, of course, be their policy to fabricate a King's Speech of somewhat more explicit vagueness than usually characterises these productions, and upon it to build hopes of a retention of power, by the tolera tion of those who, generously expectant of good, are shunners of evil, only when it is close at their elbows. Upon the waverers, in conjunction with their own forces, the Tories evidently base their strongest re liance for an enduring existence, and from the vacillat ing uncertainty of that class, the country will have to dread whatever there is to be dreaded. They may be likened to a snail on a well-staircase, which can only see one step at a time, and that not over-distinctly ; they will creep on their bit-by-bit course, without any defined notion of the advances they are making—un certain whether the progress be made in a straight or a devious line, now going one way, now another, till their " feelers" fall foul of a difficulty, at which, when perceived, they may be expected to draw their puzzled heads into the shell, and pause altogether. These are the men who swell the vaunted lists of Conservative Reformers, and whom the Tories already reckon as Since the passing of the Septennial Act, the aye rage duration of Parliaments has been four years and a half. being their own. The political imbecility of this party can only be counteracted by the stern and rigorous adherence to principle (by manifestations of practice) of those who have the sagacity and the moral courage to dare. Unmoved, therefore, by Tory opprobrium, flattery, or insidiousness, or the respectable impotency of the Doubtfuls, they must proceed unrelentingly—turning neither to the right hand nor to the left—in the broad path of duty which they have pledged themselves to follow, and give their adversaries that unmistakeable opposition which shall completely effect the overthrow of a Tory dynasty, by the decision of a first vote. The Paris papers of Wednesday, which have been received, contain some curious observations on the late debate in the Chamber of Deputies relative to the THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1835. Count Pozzo DI BORGO has been appointed by the Court of Petersburgh to take up his residence as Plenipotentiary at the Court of St. James's, for a short time. His EXCELLENCY'S stay will be temporary ; and he will be succeeded by Count WORONZOW, late Governor of Odessa, whom the EAIPZROR has appointed as the permanent Representative of the Imperial Court of Russia in London. During the stay of Count Pozzo DI BORGO at St. James's, the functions of Russian Envoy at Paris will be committed to the management of a Charge d'Affaires. Dutch Papers of the 28th have been received. The news of the recovery of his Royal Highness the Prince of ORANGE is, we are happy to announce, fully confirmed. We invite attention to a decree of the King of DEN• MARK, on the emancipation of the slaves in the colo nies of his Danish Majesty, which will be found in another column. This decree may be said to have emanated from our own late Government. At the Court of East India Directors, on Wednes day next, Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Fane, G. C. 8., will be proposed as Commander-in-Chief of the Company's forces in India. During the Edinburgh City Election, Ramsay and Learmonth's gorgeous standard waved from a window in Prince's-street, and, whimsically enough, immediately below a ticket intimated—" Two Flats to let for seven years, or such other term as may be agreed upon." Lord Mansfield used to say that nothing was so difficult of proof as that which everybody knew. Amongst the many facts which have been tiotieed as so singularly characterizing the vegetable world a t th e pre sent season, it may not be undeserving of mention that a most luxuriant and abundant crop of vetches is now being gathered in a field in the London road, adjacent to this city.— Worces ter Herald. The Parishioners of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields have commenced a subscription to present Mr. H. Simpson, their Churchwarden, with a piece of plate for his meritorious exertion in abolishing by law the Select Vestry ; that body having usurped the power near 200 years. The Ballyshannon Herald states, between fifty and sixty fishing-boats were surprized in a snow -storm off' the coast. Several empty boats were drifted in, and it is thought the whole crew of these and the others, amounting to about 500 persons, are all lost. _ • The Tory leaders have long been considered in a state of derangement. They are now known to be quite be side themselves, at the prospect of being beaten by,a w e apon with which they intended to beat others. The high ecclesi astical authorities of the party entertain doubts of the infalli bility of the orthodox dogma, that " a joyful resurrection follows dissolution." _ . _ " It is tough work," said Fuseli, the painter, to a breeches-maker, who threatened to go home and read Para dise Lost, after he bad seen all the pictures in the Milton gallery. —Monthly Repository. RETORT.—A chimney-sweep was examined a s a witness in a cause before Lord Ellenborough, who asked him why he did not wash and dress himself when he came into a Court of Justice. " Dress myself, my . Lord," said the sweep, lam dressed as much as , your Lordship." . " How is that," said the Judge. " Why, my Lord," replied the witness, it you are in your working clothes, and so am I. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY. ___A very good demand has been experienced for cotton to-day. The sales are 5,000 bales, at the full prices of last week.— viz., 400 Pernams, 121 d. to 14d. ; 200 Bahias, 111 d. to 120.; 150 Egyptian, 15d. to 18d. ; 400 Surat, sid. to 7cl. ; 300 Ma ranhams, 13id. ; remainder American, from 81d. to 100.

York Chronicle. C ..- . -. : , .. ' e , •'• IT he COURT CIRCULAR The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria returned to their apartments in Kensington Palace yesterday, their Royal Highnesses having left St. Leonard's in the morning , Count Medem, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, had an inter view yesterday with Sir R. Peel, in Downing-street. Mr. W. G. Dedel (the Netherlands Minister) and Mr. Vail (the United States Charge d'Affaires) visited the Duke of Wellington yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Earl of Aberdeen left town yesterday afternoon on a visit to the Marquis of Salisbury, at Hatfield, Herts. Sir Pulteney Malcolm transacted business at the Colonial office. The Right Hon. Henry Ellis transacted business at the Foreign-office yesterday. The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, the Earl of Roslyn, Lord Wharncliffe, Mr. Secretary Goulburn, Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Ellenborough, Earl de Grey, Sir Edward Knatchbull, and Mr. Wynn, were present at the Cabinet dinner given by Mr. Baring, on Wednesday evening. PARTY AT BELVOIR CASTLE. The Duke of Rutland is entertaining a large party of relatives and Conser vative friends at Belvoir Castle, consisting of—the Earl and Countess of Verulam and Lord and Lady E. Grimston, Lord Burghersh and Lady C. Vane, Earl and Countess Jermyn, Marquis of Granby, Lords C. and R. Manners, Lord and Lady W. Paulet, Lord Rokeby, Sir F. Trench, Sir J. Mus grave, Mr. and Lady E. Drummond, Lady A. Manners, Co lonel and Lady Alice Peel, Major Jervis, Mr. Irwin, Mr. Pierrepoint, &c. &c. We hear that the Marquis of Abercorn is negotiat ing with Earl Spencer for his mansion, Spencer-house, in the Green-park. The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn will leave Baron's-court on or about the 15th of the ensuing month for town. Earl De Grey's residence in St. James's-square, is undergoing many improvements, preparatory to opening a series of Cabinet dinners. His Lordship's late mansion in St. James's-square, formerly the abode of the late Lord Chief- Justice Ellenborough, is now untenanted. _ _ _ His Majesty, at the inspection of the Staff of the Sussex militia, last week, signified to the Colonel (the Duke of Richmond) that he should present the regiment shortly with new colours. We believe that his Majesty has for some time had it in contemplation to confer this distinction upon the regi ment.—Brighton Gazette. By the death of the Hon. P. H. Abbott, the Re cordership of Monmouth, to which he was elected in Septem ber, 1831, on the death of the Right Hon. C. Bathurst, is again vacant. The chairman and a deputation from the committee of excluded officers of the East India Company's maritime ser vice have had an interview with the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Control on the subject of their memorial to the Court of Directors. Sir Robert Adair's mansion in Queen-street, May fair, has been taken by Lord John Russell. His Lordship's late apartments at the Army Pay Office, are not yet occupied by the new Paymaster-General. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, JAN. 29.—When it was announced that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent in tended to leave St. Leonard's on Thursday, it was hoped that she would have honoured us by travelling the new line of road through Wadhurst and Ticehurst to Tunbridge Wells ; but owing to the time of the year, and as the Royal party had arranged to be at Kensington Palace at five o'clock this even ing, the original intention was abandoned. All offers of escort were also declined on the same account, so that no unneces sary delay might take place on the road. The Royal party passed through Pembury (about two miles from here) soon after twelve o'clock, having left St. Leonard's a few minutes before nine. Their Royal Hignesses appear to enjoy most excellent health. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.— The Throne of the House of Lords, which is exceedingly handsome, was placed yesterday on the platform in the House. The Speaker's chair is also very elegant, and both Houses will be finished in the course of a few days. The apartments for the accommo tion of the Members to dine and take refreshments, extend partly over the Courts of Law. It is reported, in and about Abinger, near Dorking, but we hope without foundation, that on an application, some time ago, to Sir James Scarlett, now Lord Abinger, by the churchwardens, on behalf of the inhabitants, requesting him to contribute to the building of a school, much wanted in the place, the learned gentleman absolutely refused to subscribe one farthing. This is the more singular, inasmuch as he is reputed to be the largest landholder in the parish ; whilst Mr. Innis, another proprietor, not only offered to give 501. for the praiseworthy object, but, it is said, would have made a present of the land necessary. The want of instruction in this unfor tunate parish may be conceived, if it be true, as asserted, that none of the parishioners can either read or write. Even the churchwardens are stated to labour under this melancholy dis qualification.—lfferning Advertiser. Laporte is on his road to Munich. On the way he stops at Paris for the purpose of seeing Signora Corri Pal toni, to whom overtures, we understand, have been made for her return to this country. The lady has lust arrived in the French capital from Florence, where IViadarne Blasis takes her place. The frequenters of the King's Theatre will re collect her as the sister of Mrs. Geesin, and as having appeared with considerable effect some years since in the Zauberflotte. MADAME MALIBRAN. A Brussels Journal states that a letter has been received in the Belgian capital, on the 21st instant, from that celebrated cantatrice, in which she writes that she was in perfect health, and makes no men tion of the attempt at assassination published in some of the Paris papers. THL REGENT'S PARK.—The Commissioners of Woods and Forests are employing a number of workmen in completing the intended improvements in the Regent's Park. The grand promenade, which commences fronting the Park square, New-road, and extends through the line of continuance of the Park, to the Zoological Gardens, with also the elegant serpentine ones, fronting Chester, Gloucester, and other ter races, are being re-gravelled. Six pair of elegant new iron gates are being erected, to which will be added three lodges for porters. The intended beautiful walks on the north side of the Park, on the banks of the Regent's canal, are completed. The present high wooden palings will be immediately removed, and posts, with a strong iron chain, extending from each other, will be substituted as a preventive to equestrians trespassing.

THE NEW STREET IN THE STRAND.—In conse quence of a memorial presented to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, representing the obstruction in York street, Covent-garden, which has existed for two years past, occasioned by making preparations for intended improvements in that quarter, a great number of paviours commenced paving the new street on Monday last, and several labourers were em ployed clearing away the rubbish where the new houses are to be erected on the east side. The pavement reaches already from the Strand to the English Opera House, opposite Charles -street, will be upwards of forty feet wide, and will be thrown open in the course of a few days, and the obstruction complained of removed. The following important notice was put up yester day morning :—" General Post-office, Jan. 26.—T0 all Post masters.—Mails for Egypt and for India will be made up at this office on the first day of every month, unless that should be Sunday, then on the following day, and forwarded by the steam-packets from Falmouth to Malta, whence they will be conveyed by branch steam-packets to Egypt and India.

THE ADELAIDE STEAM-VEssEt.-:-txtract of a letter, dated Dalkeith, the 2dth of January, from one of the passengers ;—" After beating about on Monday night and part of Tuesday, in the most dreadful hurricane ever wit nessed by the oldest sailor on board, we ran short of coals, which compelled us to steer towards Tynemouth harbour to obtain a fresh supply. The Captain not being very well acquainted with the channel which would lead us safely into the harbour, we ran on a sand-bank in the midst of breakers, curling up with terrific grandeur, where our lives for an hour were not worth a shilling. In the course of time the pad dle-wheels dragged the vessel o ver th e san d , and we were then beyond the greatest violence of the waves. In look ing back upon the dangers we had passed, it was sufficient to make one's blood run cold, or make us grateful for our deliverance from such a gulf. The tide falling, we pre ferred remaining on board rather than enter the life-boat, which came out to save us. On the morning we walked partly on shore on the dry sand, conveying our luggage with us. Hundreds of people surrounded the boat to gratify their curiosity, as we were made great lions of for our cou rage in remaining on board all night, and from the dread ful situation in which we had been placed. We took the coach from Newcastle, and arrived in Edinburgh on Thurs day night. I have just heard a fellow in the street pro claiming, with all the paraphernalia of melancholy, horrid, lamentable,' the wreck of the Royal Adelaide, and the loss of 23 passengers. This is all false not a life was lost." CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY RAVENSHAW V. HOLLIER. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were concluded ;o-day, and his Lordship postponed judgment. WHEAT V. GRAHAM. This appeal was then called on ; the object of the Bill is the specific performance of a contract for the purchase of iron mines in Staffordshire. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (ROOKIE V. LIDDIARD. Mr. PEMBERTON, who appeared for the plaintiff in this case, stated, that it came before the Court upon further directions on the Masters' report. The original bill was filed by Mr. Croome against Mr. Liddiard seeking the specific perform ance of an agreement entered into between them for the pur chase of certain lands. The plaintiff was the owner of an estate or possession, which he contracted to sell to the de fendant, who was the owner of the reversion of other property, which he agreed to sell to the plaintiff. The two contracts wde contained in the same paper, and ultimately it turned out that the defendant could not make a good title to the reversion of the property he had agreed to sell the plaintiff. Mr. Croome in consequence retuned to purchase the property,but insisted that the defendant was bound to make good his agreement to pur chase the property from him. This, the defendant contended, he was not compelled to do, and the plaintiff then filed his bill for the specific performance of the contract. To this bill the defendant put in an answer, stating that he could not make a good title to the reversion, that he was not bound to make his agreement for the purchase of the plaintiff's lands, as the agreement entered into must be considered as one agreement, and that one part of it could not be specifically performed without the whole was. Upon the case coming be fore the late Master of the Rolls, his Honour decided that the defendant was bound to perform his contract. Against this decision the defendant appealed to the Lord Chancellor, who affirmed the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, and ordered him to pay all the costs of the suit. The defendant then obtained a reference to enquire into the title of the plaintiff, and the Master reported that he could make a good title to the pro perty in question. That report had been confirmed, and what was now asked by the plaintiff was, that the defendant might be ordered to pay the costs occasioned in bringing the case be fore the Master, and that an account might be taken of the rents and property of the estate. Mr. BICKERSTETII on behalf of the defendant, submitted that the plaintiff not having made out a title to the estate, until after the suit was instituted, the defendant was not bound to pay the costs which had been occasioned by the difficulties under which the plaintiff laboured in making out his title. The MASTER OF TILE ROLLS said that if it had distinctly ap peared that the expenses of the suit had arisen from any dif ficulty in making out the title of the plaintiff, the claim on behalf of the defendant, might have been reasonable. The Court always looked to the party whose conduct had occa sioned the expense ; now in the present case the defendant had resisted the specific performance of the contract, by insisting that the agreements ought to be taken together. The judg ment of two learned Judges had, however, determined dif ferently, and the expenses being necessarily incidental to the course adopted by the defendant, he must pay all the costs of the suit. KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) This morning the Duke of Wellington and Sir Edward Knatchbull were sworn in before the Judges of the Court of King's Bench with the usual formalities—the former as Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the latter as Pay master of the Forces. MARTIN V. COLEMAN. This case, which was an action for goods sold and delivered, and for work and labour, was tried at York before the late Mr. Justice TAUNTON, at the last Spring Assizes, and a ver dict had been entered by consent for the plaintiff for 601. on all the counts, subject to a motion by Mr. ALEXANDER for leave to enter a nonsuit. That rule had been granted, and afterwards discharged. A subsequent application had been made by NIA.. ALEXANDER for leave to enter a verdict on all the Common Counts for the defendant. Mr. CRESM ELL now appeared to show cause against this latter rule. He contended that such a course could not be entertained by the Court, inasmuch as a verdict had passed for the plaintiff by consent, subject to certain proceedings, and these proceedings having failed, it was now attempted to limit the verdict to something less than had been agreed upon. Mr. ALEXANDER said the present was an unworthy attempt on the part of the plaintiff to obtain an advantage which he was not entitled to. The plaintiff had totally failed in making out his special counts, and therefore, with respect to these, the defendant was certainly entitled to judgment. The oppo site party was entitled to enter a verdict upon any count that would suit them, but nothing more. The COURT decided that the case should remain where it was. The Counsel for the defendant might have limited the verdict to the counts proved ; and as that had not been done, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict upon all. Rule discharged. the High Sea. All acts whit,. toms were so clear upon the point o . .at he wood, more than draw the attention of the Court to them. Mr. TANCRED followed on the same side, ,as did Mr. KATE, who contended that the goods were liable to seizure under another clause, for goods of the description in question were ordered to be imported into London only from the port of Bordeaux, while those were brought from Calais, and were seized in he port of London. Mr. PLATT, for the defendant, contended that according to the language used in all the Customs' Acts, it was cle.ar that the unshipping was not illegal unless it took p lace within the United Kingdom, and that the transact i o n in question iv" not within these bounds, because it took place further out than low water mark. He instanced the case of a wai•-• rant granted by the Lord Chief Justice of all England. He had looked into all the cases of such warrants, and he found that no person would dare to act upon them three leagues from the coast; yet they were all headed " England to wit." As soon as the officer arrived at the coast, he was obliged to have , recourse to the Admiral, to get the use of the " silver oar' before he could put the warrant in force. He contended that the limits of the kingdom and the limits of a port were two distinct things, that this unshipping was not within the United Kingdom, and therefore the rule ought to be made absolute. Mr. CLARKSON followed. It was admitted on the other side that it was necessary the unshipping should be made out to have taken place in the United Kingdom. Now, if so, he would contend that it would be necessary to show in what county it took place. The kingdom was divided into counties, and the Learned Solicitor-General had not attempted to show that this transaction, which took p la c e two miles out at sea, was in the county of Kent or any other county. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL rose to reply, but Mr. PLATT said he did not know what course v‘, -. 8.3 now to be followed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was about to reply. Mr. PLATT said he had been in many cases of the kind,and had never seen that course taken upon a motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he understood it was the in- variable practice that the Crown should have the last word , and he insisted upon it as his right. Mr. PLATT—Then I insist upon the right of the subject against that of the Crown. The BARONS referred to cases, and gave their decision in fro' your of the Crown. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then replied. The COURT said they would take time to consider the points raised. related to the cus -- - . INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY)• Margaret PhilUpson, an old woman, who stated herself to be " seventy-four" years of age, was opposed by Mr. W o ol,- ROOFFE on the part of a butcher, named Newton, her only cre- ditor. The circumstances were peculiar. The insolvent lived, 182 S, at Ilford, in Essex ; she contracted a debt of 171. the opposing creditor ; at that period she was possessed ° considerable furniture, and four leasehold houses ; she sold her furniture for 401., disposed of the leasehold property, and left Essex. The opposing creditor brought an action a g ainst her, to which she pleaded the general is s u e, but on the da y the, trial was to take place, a cognovit was acc e p ted. It a pp ear° that she had a pension of 281 . a year fro m the East 100 House, and the object of the opposition was either to dismis s the petition, or to get her to enter into a rule of Court to p t the debt. It was said that the Legislature n e ver intended relieve such a person. The opposing credito r was willing t° take any terms. The insolvent told a long tale. The COURT said they would discharge he r if she entered into a rule of Court to pay 1 /. a quarter to the assi g nee ; she assented, and was discharged. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN RiNCHANGE.

EX-PARTE GALE. Mr. WIGHTMAN moved for a rule to show cause why one Sarah Gale, wife of Thomas Gale, should not be discharged out of the custody of the Sheriff' of Cumberland, she having been taken on a writ de contumacio capiendo. His applica tion was founded on the fact, that it did not sufficiently appear on the face of the writ that the cause of her committal was one of ecclesiastical contempt merely. It stated that she had been committed for non-payment of costs, in an action for defamation and slander de pending in the Consistorial Court. The writ did not show that the cause was one which was within the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Court, and the learned Counsel contended from several authorities which he cited, that " a party condemned to costs cannot be committed for non-payment, unless it is set forth that the cause was within the jurisdiction of the Eccle siastical Court." COURT—Take a rule nisi. THE KING V. MURDOCK. In this case Mr. ADOLPHUS had moved for a rule to shew cause why a writ of certiorari should not be granted to remove the depositions taken at the Coroner's Inquest, and all other proceedings, from Bristol to Taunton. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW now appeared to shew cause against the rule. The grounds upo n which the application was founded were wholly insufficient, and it was absurd to suppose that the publication of some doggrel verses would influence the minds of that class of persons from whom the jurors were to be selected. Mr. Sergeant TALFoURD followed on the same side. The facts upon which the Court was called to decide were briefly these :--The inquest bad taken place at Bristol, in the month of December last, on the body of Clara Anne Smyth, and lasted for five days. During the proceedings, the Jury had been interrupted more than once by expressions of applause, and when the verdict of wilful murder had been returned against Mary Murdock, there was loud and general applause. It was also stated, that certain publications had taken place which were likely to prejudice the public mind. There was no doubt as to the jurisdiction of the Court, but he would ask their Lordships were these facts sufficient to warrant them in the exercise of a jurisdiction which should not be lightly used, as affecting the general course of justice ? He submitted further, that the witnesses had been all bound to prosecute at Bristol, and no substantial ground had been shown for imped ing the usual course of justice, and putting the party prosecut ing to so much inconvenience and expense. Mr. ADOLPIIUS was heard in support of the rule. Lord DENMAN said—that many serious inconveniences had been pointed out as likely to result from the removal of the trial from Bristol to any other place ; but if the Court saw any rea son to apprehend that the party would not have a fair trial at Bristol, they would consider these inconveniences of no moment as compared with what would be the greatest evil of all, a failure of justice. But looking at the affidavits in this case, the Court was of opinion that nothing had been shown which would lead it to infer that the jurors of Bristol would return any other than a perfectly fair and impartial verdict in this case. The trial would not come on till the month of April, and he took it for granted that the Recorder of Bristol would be put in possession of all the circumstances, and if it could then be shown that a fair trial was not likely to be had, he would, of course, postpone it, and the present application could then be renewed.—Rule discharged. BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.) EX-PARTE ROES. Mr. LEIGH said that in this case, in which a rule had been obtained by Mr. Baines, to show cause why a gentleman named Ross should not be struck of the roll of attorneys of that Court, and also why Joseph Hodson should not be committed to prison, he had to move the Court for leave to have the rule enlarged to next term. His application was founded upon the affidavit of Mr. Ross, who deposed that in consequence of the absence of Hodson from town, he had not had time to put in the necessary answers. Mr. BAINES had no objection to the rule being enlarged on the usual terms. Rule enlarged to next term. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTOARIO-GENERAL V. TOMSETT. This was an information filed against the defendant (the guard of d. Doter do ach) for being concerned as the principal in illegally unshipping a titunitity of French Silks in the Downs, with the intention of smuggliftg them, The trial was had two Terms 4go, when a VC,ltlict was found for the Crown. The facts of the eas6 7ere shortly these. The defendant ivas sued along with several other f,crsons— they were ehafged with . breaking bulk on the sea, within a te:, miles of Dover and putting the silks from the French ship into a small sloop, in which they were brought up to London. The officers having had some information, on the arrival of the sloop, went on board and found the goods, hid amongst the ballast, in packages much larger than were allowed by law. The sloop was seized, and the goods condemned. Early in the Term Mr. Clarkson moved for and obtained a Rule Nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the unshipping did not take place in the United Kingdom, as charged in the information. This morning the SOLICITOR-GENERAL showed cause against the Rule. He cited an Act of Parliament of Charles 11., whereby the Court of Exchequer were ordered to issue a Commission for the purpose of defining the limits of certain ports. A Commission had been so issued, and the port of Dover was by the Commissioners said to extend to certain points, within which it was not disputed the unshipping of the goods took place. He understood his Learned Friends on the other side meant to contend that the act was not done within the United Kingdom, but upon THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).
