I'OREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de Fr anc , awl Nov. 17.) TOULON', Nov. Correspondence.)—:W e great deal of di s - Extrltted from o ur P rivate he a r of a orders, which i:Jav e manifested themselves in a serious degree in t'.ie Morea, and by which our troops have much s'arcered. Captains of ships, who have come from that country, give but few det a il s , an d we - ar e in general in pant for them, though the medi • cal department appears to be well organised, though our troops no longer bivouac, and hitherto at least they cannot be in want of anything. It is usual almost everywhere in tive, Levant, especially in the autumn, for strangers to be attacked by tertian and quartan agues, which are not dangerous, except for persons of intemperate habits, if they are judiciously treated; but the young soldiers and many officers have, nevertheless, reason for alarm. We hope, at leas . c, that the troops have not been suffered to take up their lodgings in the places evacuated by the Turks, wi!hout great precautions, for the garrisons were more or less infected with contagious diseases, and precip;tation might be attended with very 4eri ous consequences. It is affirmed that the English have Objected to General Maisori's going beyond the' Peloponnesus, and that the Greek State is to be limited to that country' only; but if, on tile one Land, thet General has eno , ►gh to do to occupy what has been given up to h;m, and could not doany move even if he wished it ; on the o►her hand, it is clear that the Greeks, left to themselves, would never be able to maintain themselves in the Peninsula, whither, without a marine, the Turks can c0..-;:e from many points of the Gulf of Lepanto, ever tlmugh the Isthmus should be well fortified. What will be done ? This is what remains to be seen. Meantime troops are sent, and preparations are making to send more. One rev,iment is already gone, besides the ammunition and provisions which are sent under convoy of the Trident. Provisions have also been sent lately to the blockading squadron before Algiers, which blockade does not seem likely to finish, and which is the most illusory thing in the world; for we hear of Algerine corsairs, which tneet with no' obstacle, and go in and out as if there were neither blockade nor cruisers. (From the Constitutiounel.) PAltts, Nov. 16.—We learn from Ponte-a-Mous son ( Meurthe) as follo‘'vs :—The Petit Seminary is again opened here, though M. Fortin Janson, our Bishop, has not conformed to the Royal Ordinances. No declaration has been subscribed by the profes sors, who say that they will not submit to any. It is said, in palliation, of • this 'violation of the law, that the Ministry has granted . n,invlimianionof a year to those who cannot or will not execute it. Can we explain, on this principle, the re-opening of the se minary at Chalons-sur-Marne ? Is there not some thing in these concessions, granted to those who do not excite the re gr et o f those who obey, or dispose the doubtful not to obey ? BARONY OF BERNERS AND BURGH. (I'lto3l A CORR ESYONDENT. ft is very generally stated that Lord Stradbrook intends to try to establish his claim to the Barony of Berners and Burgh, but on a reference to the pedigree of the late Lady Berners (who died in without issue, as did her brothers and sisters), it is evident that the title will be in abeyance be tween the issue of John Knyvett, Esq. of Norwich, whose father was the only brother of Sir John Knyvett, and uncle of the late Lady Berners, and consequently must have a priority of claim to the sister, who married Sir John Reuse. The above John Kuyvett, Esq. left two daugh ters, co-heiresses, who . ace represented by Major Wilson, of Didlington-hall, in the county of Norfolk, and Louisa, the widow of the late Richard Strang wayes, Esq. of Well, in the county of York, and of course they are the legitimate claimants to the above ancient Barony. 10 HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—You having inserted in your last evening's Paper—(without any C:aistian name) that Mr. • Pariett had appeared against Richard Gurney, Esq., • in a complaint made at the public office in Bow ..treet, I will be much obliged to you to state that I am not the complainant, never having seen that gen tleman to be offended. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES PARLETT. 35, Cilocester place, New-road, Nov. 19. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. The delightful sylvan comedy of A: You Like It, .wa.; performed here last night by the Covent-garden Company ; but, we are sorry to say, to a very thin house. CHARLES KEMBLE was; of course, the Orlando, and never did a more graceful one tread the funny-haunted forest of Amiens. FAWCETT was Touchstone, and looked and played the part with all his 'wonted alacrity.' Miss JARMAN'S TiOSaind was truly au admirable and characteristic performance. Her archness and easy elegance of demeanor , reminded us at times -of the inimitable Mrs. JORDAN—cati we 'give it higher praise ? Of 'WARD'S Jaques we may also spe a k i n hi g h terms of praise; it . embodied all the sarcasm, and no incon siderable portion of the pathos, of this most original character. His " Seven - I ges ' was particularly applauded. On the whole, we have seldom seen a I ;:.ty to which more justice was done than this of last night. , • Lord TENTEItDEN transacted uusniess yes terday at the Home-office. THE LATE Mu. HANSARD.—Mr. HAN SARD, thi printer, was employed in the service of the House of Commons since 17'72, and fulfilled the duties of the office for 56 years, in a manner that excited the ad miration of all who had the opportunity of becoming ac quainted with his wonderful industry, ingenuity, and acute ness. Mr. HANSARD, from the beginnipg of his official life, established to himself, as the rule of his conduct, to spare no cost or personal labour in endeavouring to per form the Parliamentary printing better and cheaper, and more expeditiously, than any other printing business in London. His expenditure on stock in trade, for this pur pose, was immense . his type alone weighed 117 tons. From the great amount of his expenditure on stock, be never realized any considerable property of other descrip. ton, though he left a numerous family in two generations. The following is the estimated amount of the capital he had employed in the printing business : Boadings £30,600 presses, and other printing materials... 47,200 Debts due at Christmas.. ............ 42,200 Cash for the expenditure of the current year 30,000 Making total of ............ £l5 ,0 0; • UNIVERSITY. OF LONDON. -- The total num ber, of students on Saturday last a mounted to 394, of w h om 17 had entered for the class of English law the 'lay p re _ ceding, when Mr. Amos began his course. There a re already 85 students in this class, a considerable proportion. of Whom consist of the articled clerks of some of the most eminent solicitors in town, 'who have been encouraged by their principals to avail themselves of the opportunity now offend of improving their education. In Fo particular will the University of London be more useful than as sup plying the means of a higher education to those destined for the different departments of the law. In the Latin, Tireek, and mathematical classes, there are between 60 and 70 each ; these are students whoiravo entered for their re gular academical education. There are between 70 and 80 in the natural philos'opliy class, and about 70 in that of chymistry. There are no less than 120 medical students. Above ten new'shares have been subscribed since the open ing in Octobers--Morning Chronicle. LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1828. The French Papers are principally filled with comments upon a matter which is of general in terest to France—namely, the late changes in the subordinate departments of the Government. These changes, however, bespeak more prudence than politic wisdom. The reform, to be useful, should have been complete. There are no news from the East. German Papers of the 12th inst. have been received. An article from Odessa states, that all the Foreign Ambassadors, with the exception of that of France, had arrived there, and set out for St. Petersburgh. The army would not go into winter quarters until the surrender of Silistria. A Miramichi Paper of the 7th October an nounces that Lady DOUGLAS and family em ' barked on the 30th September, on board the Allan, GiLmouß, from St. John's, for the Clyde. The inhabitants appear to have shewn the greatest interest on their departure. A splen did ball and supper were given, at the Masonic Hall, to Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, his Lady, and daughters, in order to testify the strong citude felt by all classes. The Bombay Paper of the 25th June an nounces the death of R. 0. BRIDGEMAN, Esq., Advocate-General at that Presidency, of an at tack of spasmodic cholera, in the 30th year of his age. This disorder was still raging, and the cause is attributed to the universal want of rain. Tile weather continued fine, with little or no appearance of a monsoon, but at the same time excessively hot and depressing. The accounts received from the different out-stations speak in the same way of the miserable effects that were likely to result from the total absence of rain. Freights were, on the 18th of June, from 1/..55. to 21. per ton to England. Calcutta Papers to the 24th, and Bombay to the 27th June, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. From the former we learn that a favourable change had taken place in the weather, with copious falls of rain, which had reduced the temperature from 93 to 76. It is with regret, however, we under stand that cases of Cholera were still occurring; perhaps the transition from so much heat may not a little hare contributed to the appearance of this formidable disease. Antigu a P apers have been received at tAhefie of North l and S out h American Coffee-house; St. Kitt' s , a very f u ll account they contain, f rom of the trial, convi c ti on , an d execution of the Captain and crew of the piratical schooner Las juntas Ar which l a t e l y capture d t h e brioEnglish 00, from Li verpoo l , b oun d ge c nt a in rr a a s b , to Buenos Ayres, and afterwards retaken by his Majesty's sloo p Victor. The Captain, his twosit'danlid i 2 ns evidence 5 g ulewere executed. Two ; .three, i n L w i e e r u e tet;an on t ite whose favour there were some circumstances of joined mitigation, were pardoned ; and five , who J • •ned the vessel after the capture, were not tried. T he trial took place on the 30th of September, t h e details of which are toe long to insert, but the facts of the case were completely brought home to the prisoners, and tended to show the infamous system of piracy which had been so long going forward in the West Indian Seas. The culprits were .executed on three several days, and minute guns were fired from on board the schooner, the very instrument of their depreda tions. This vessel has since sailed for Jamaica with despatches front Captain LLOYD, of his Majesty's ship Victor, which has also sailed for the same destination. In allusion to this trial it is hoped, says the Weekly Register, that Go vernment will adopt some rigdrouS measures in relation to the Foreign Islands to leeward, not one of which but has, some time dr dther,"ebi l '.. nived at the pirates, alid shared in their depre dations—particularly the Dutch, Danish, and Swedish. By the. London line of packet ship Cambria, Captain GRESWOLD, New York Papers to the 21st ult. inclusive have been teceiVed at the North and South American Coffee7house. They 'contain but little intelligence of interest-. The afl'airs of Chili, on the sth. June, are repre sented by a gentleman to be tranquil, and secu rity p&ialled, except to the south of Pinco, where a guerilla party, under the command of PINCHEIRA, was committing petty robberies and depredations. The Government had sent an armed force against him, which, after suc ceeding in its object, would be disbanded. The last advices from the South stated that PIN CHEIRA had been driven over the Cordillera into the province of Mendoza, and no further appre hensions were entertained with respect to him. The General Congress of Chili had removed the seat of their deliberations from Santiago (the capital) to Valparaiso, in order to be free from the influence of political factions. A motion had been adopted that a project of a Constitution should be reported within sixty days, and it was expected it would be prepared within that time. The subject of the improvement of the finances of the country had received the most serious atten tion. Large church domains, confiscated some time since by the Government, were to be con verted into available means for the support of public credit. General ANTONIO PINTO was still acting as Vice-Director, but it was expected he would be declared Director as soon as the Co nstitution should be adopted. A Treaty between Chili and the United States was soon expected to be concluded, through the agency of the Minister of the latter country, In consequence of a resolution of Congress, the remains of the CAREItA family, interred at Mendoza, had been raised and brought to Chili, as a testimony, of respect to the memory of the first patriots who endeavoured to liberate the Republic from the Spanish yoke. For facilitating the mining ope rations in the provinces of Coquimbo and Ca piasso, a Mining Company was to be established at Coquimbo, and the requisite machinery had arrived. General SANTA CRUZ, late President at Peru, had arrived in Chili as Minister Pleni potentiary from that Government, and had been recognised as such. The Chilian navy has been much reduced. The prosperity of the country generally had visibly advanced. Commerce and trade, at Valparaiso particularly, were increasing considerably, and a flourishing state of things may be confidently anticipated. These papers contain no arrivals from England. We have just received a correspondence that has taken place within the last few months be tween Sir A. MALET, Bart. and the Rev. D. WILLIAMS, Head-master of Winchester School. The circumstances that called forth this corre spondence are curious :—The younger brother of 'Sir A. MALET had, it seems, resisted the authority of one of the Prefects, or senior boys, and was, on a complaint to that effect being made to the Master, expelled, together with four of his young cokfederates, from school. Sir A. MA LET, hearing of this undeservedly harsh pu nishment, at once remonstrated by letter to Dr. WI LLIAMS, who, however, refused to revoke the sentence—on the principle, we presume, of the Medes and Persians, whose laws, whether absurd or otherwise, were held immutable. The whole injurious effects of what at public schools is called fagging, are here laid open to us. A high-spirited lad resists the semi-official, and perhaps unreasonable, authority of another lad, and is at once peremptorily expelled. Ap peal is useless—the decree has gone forth— and his prospects, if not totally blasted, are at least materially injured, for life. We deprecate this over-abundant measure of punishment ; it savours of despotism, and can produce no possible benefit. That a due subordination should be kept up at our public schools, which in many cases can count their hundreds, we are far from disputing ; but that the caprice of the Seniors (many of whom are the greatest tyrants on earth) should be unreservedly submitted to by the Juniors, simply, because the system of such slavery is old, and a relic of the feudal ages—of this we altogether disapprove. Expulsion from so public a school as Winchester is really a serious concern. It disqualifies its victim from entering either University, and sends him forth into life with a taint upon his character. It should only be resorted to in extreme cases. The Duke of CLARENCE, accompanied by the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, left his residence in Busby Park yesterday morning. His Royal flightless came to town to the residence of the Princess Aucusra, in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duchess of GLOOCIPSTER alighted at the .apartments of the Princess SOPHIA, in the King's Palace, at Kensington, to pay a visit to her Royal S►ster and the Duchess of KENT, with whom her Royal Highness remained during the day. Several naval officers visited the Royal Duke. Colonel SzErstrtisoN, the Sur veyor-General of the Board of Works, waited on his Royal Highness to receive his commands relative to the fitting up of his new residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. His Royal Highness left town about four o'cloek ou his re turn to Bushy, and called at the King's Palace, at Ken sington, where the Duchess of Gnoucssrta joined her Royal brother. The venerable Archbishop of ELVAS, who, as a friend to the charter, and a faithful subject of Don Pena°, was obliged to flee fruits Portugal on the usurpa tion of Don Mc use,, died lately of the plague at Gibral tar. The Rev. Prelate had taken refuge in that fortress', on leaving his native country, some months ago. SNIPPING INTELLIGENCE—(TMS bAt) FROM L,LbYD'S.

COURT OF CHANCERY. Nothing of importance occurred in this Court VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT,--G UATEMALA LOAN. 'TAYLOR V. BARCLAI". The VICE-CIIANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in , this case, which came before him upon a demurrer to the plaintiffs' bill. The bill was filed, for a . dis covery in aid of an action at law against the defend ants, who were the agents of the Guatemala Re public, for the recovery of certain deposits lodged with them on account of the loan contracted for that Government. The bill charged, that the de fendants acted in the transaction as the agentsof the " Federal Republic of the Central Provinces of South America," which was described as an inde ptsndent and recognised state. To this bill the defendants put in a demurrer, on the ground that there was, in fact, no such independent and recog nised state known to this country, as that described by the plaintiffs. His Honour, in giving judgment, said, that in consequence of the argument used at the hearing, he had communicated with the re. reign Office, for the purpose of ascertain ing how that fact stood. In answer to this inquiry, he received official information that the Federal Republic of the central provinces of South America had not been recognized as an independent state by this country. Of course, when the plaintiffs described it as an independent and recognized state, they must be under stood to mean that it had been acknowledged by the Go vernment of this country. It was, in his Honour's opinion, the duty of the Court to take notice of matters affecting the relations of this country with other states, and to look to the real facts, rather than to the representations of suitors in that respect. He saw very little to distinguish this case in principle from that of Taylor v. Bowles, although, in that in stance the bill had been filed for relief as well as for a discovery. The case turned upon the question whether the King's- Courts could attend to the concerns of parties with the agents of a Government not recognised by this country. Lord Eldon then laid it down as a general doctrine of policy not to allow persons to sue in our Courts in respect of transactions with a Government not recognized by his Majesty. Another case had been decided on exactly similar grounds, where a party had advanced money on account of a contract, for the purchase of some salt mines from an agent of the Colombian Government. The defendant in that case obtained mines from the Colombian Government, in condi tion of his advancing a loan ; not being able to pro vide the whole sum, and being desirous of not for feiting what he conceived an advantageous contract, he came to this country and sold a portion of his interest under the contract, for 500,000 dol lars. An application was subsequently made for an injunction to restrain tre defendant from trans ferring or assigning away that share of the mines to which the sum of 500,000 dollars had reference. This was an application which, un der other circumstances, would instantly have been granted, but Lord Eldon refused it, because of the representation that the original contract was with the Columbian Government, not then recognised by this country. His Lordship said,, that as a Judge sitting in one of his Majesty's Courts, he could not then take notice of the Government of Columbia. In the present case the Federal Republic of the Central Provinces of South America was not re cognised by his Majesty at the time the trans actions took place between the plaintiffs and the defendants, nor had it been recognised up to this day ; and, in his Honour's opinion, he was bound to take official notice of the truth of that fact, notwith standing the averment to the contrary in the record. If parties pleased to set out matters that were histo rically false, it clearly was not right that the Court should take them as true. Without giving any opi nion as to what his decision would be if the plain tiffs' bill had not contained the averment that this Republic, was an independent State, hi s H onour felt himself bound to allow the demurrer. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. (TRIAL AT BAR.) ROWE V. BRENTON•-DOE V. BRENTON•••-•TlIE RING V, ROWE AND BRENTON. These trials being fixed to come on this morning, as soon as the doors of the Court were opened, the crowd of respectably-dressed persons took possession of all places in the Court devoted to the public, and the passages were all crowded to suffocation ; even the space of the Court between the bench and the Counsel was filled with well-dressed persons. On Lord TENTERDEN taking his seat, he stated that he would fine any person whom he should see standing between the Jury and the Counsel. The spaetrsdoontsmw on r o i t t h h e e n flo o o c cr,u t and t l h i a e t i r space m p i t l n e m i e v d a s i a t f e o l l y . lowed by the others standing betwen the bench ttnd the bar. His Lordship, however, routed them, and threatened to fine any person who refused to with draw when requested to do so by, the officer. These cases, which seemed to have excited such interest in the public mind, arose from the follow ing facts :—Mr. Joshua Rowe, father of the present plaintiff, came into possession, in 1814, of an estate in Cornwall called Llewellen, and in 1820 he opened a mine for copper ore, which proved of great value. The owners of a neighbouring mine claimed a right to the vein of copper, and carried away some of the copper ore raised by the plaintiff, who brought' an action for the recovery of the value, but a verdict was returned for the defendant. An action ofeject ment was subsequently brought to recover posses sion of the mine which had been taken by the defendant, other proceedings were also gone into, but no definite decision was come to. The cause was now brought before a Jury in Hertfordshire, and an extraordinary display of legal talent was arrayed on the occasion. The plaintiff had engaged: Messrs. Brougham, Erskine, and Follet. The Crown, however, having, as Duke of Cornwall, and en titled by manorial right to the minerals found in that county, put in a claim to the property claimed by both parties, defended the present action by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the SOLICITOR-GE NERAL, Sir J. SCARLETT, and Messrs. HARRISON and COLERIDGE. The trial is expected to last two days. COURT OF ARCHES. WILLIAMS V. WILLIAMS. This was a suit instituted by the wife, for a resti tution of conjugal rights. Dr. PIIILLIMORE (Counsel for Mrs. Williams) stated that no opposition had been entered - . The CoURT, therefore, ordered the libel to be admitted. , BURGOYNE V. FREE. In this long-litigated suit a new witness was sworn, in the usual form, to answer the interrogatories that would be submitted to him. BROWN V. BROWN. The KING'S ,ADVOCATE (br.jenner) said, this unfortunate case now came before the Court on the question of alimony. It was a suit instituted theby Mrs. Brown aga i ns t her husband, by reason of cruelty and adultery. Mr. Brown was a farmer, residing at St. Ives, Huntingdonshire, and at the time this suit was commenced disputed the validity of marriage. The Court, however, decided that question against him; and to enable it to come to a conclusion respecting alimony, ordered him to make affidavits of his circumstances. This he had accordingly done, wherein he state s , th at s i nce the commencement of the suit he had conveyed the whole of his copyhold estate to trustees, for the benefit of his five children -by a former wife ; that it is not of more value than 1,2004 and is encum bered to the amount of 1,2001., and that he was not at the present time . possessed of any property whatever, except his furniture and wearing apparel. The Learned Counsel contended, that he must be considered, by his own affidavits, to be worth 3,0001. For the Court would never allow a person in such circumstances, to evade the payment of alimony, during the progress of the suit, by the conveyance • ' of MS property to othet persons; that 119 MO Pus in a plea of poverty. WO Dr. PHILLIMORE (Counsel for the bus :i t i trusted the Court would not think this a ea se „ er which alimony ought to be awarded. it o .l vainly was one of the most unfortunate .

Could be no doubt that Mr S. Broivri was a tet t .d, in such a manner, arising from nial:le'liiiation; tj . t . / ;. parties could not cohabit togeer. Under thesc c oi . cumstances, Mr. Brown had been advised t° . .b ! , vey what property he had to trustees, for the rot tenance of his children by a former wife, a",: m it Court Would bear in mind that there was an ati'm a ff stating that Mis.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Mr. Sergeant MEREWEATHER rose/0 shoo' against a rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant Adam s ! i; changing the venue from L on d on t o W a rwick, 1 0 cause, tho name of which wa s not mentioned. now opposed the rule, upon the ground that ti',.. ° l lo fendant had admitted, in a conversation with t, plaintiff, that his only object, in changing the sTriir was to postpone the trial until after the firsto lte t, nuary next, at which period Lord Tenterdea ! i dol as it is called, would come into operation, and ! A lf, the plaintiff altogether. The Act alluded tog u e btJ preclude the reception of parole promises for u, due upwards of six years. tt The CHIEF JUsTICE.—Does the Act apply contracts made prior to the Ist of January ? Ids Sergeant MEREWEATHER.—The Act goes to t o that in actions for debt, no promise will have, i effect of causing the continuance of a contract 1;0 longer period than six years, unless the sam,e_jr, be in writing, and the 10th sec ti on o f the Ad d rects that it shall come into operation on the firlisi, January next. The venue was in the pres ent stance laid in London, and the defendant see ~ ,01l change it in order to avoid the reception of his F . :1 ) 11 promises in evidence, which might not be reee" after January: eig The CHIEF JUSTICE—Why in London yoo not have it tried before then. a_t ° Mr. Justice P ARKE —Oh yes; it is a . 1 10 Jury cause, and all events it cannot be tried at wick before the next Assizes. it P i Mr. Sergeant ADAMS submitted, that his ri!:7. 4 el changing the venue was absolute, and could 0 ' aside only by a substantive motion; but Mr. Justice PARKE was of a different opini o ', l ll ll the King's Bench such rules were absolute l e to first insta nce , b ut i n t h e C ommon Pl eas ar° 410' show cause only was granted, and any cause 11/ be shown. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said, that a remark 1 0; :cl made, that no sooner did the Legislature passigl er sJ of Parliament, than the Courts of Law endeall to see how tley could defeat it. The cause ° t # ll tion arose in — Warwick, and would he tried 6 00 4 enormous expense in London, and if the P1 3 e 01 4 chose to deep over his rights for six years, the : 4 0 would surely not assist him by b r i ng i n g the v" where it had no business to be tried. The CHIEF JUSTICE said that he thouP, venue, in the present i n st an c e , ought not ,11 changed. It h a d b een sa id, th a t the Courts were reproached with defeating Acts of Parlindl but certainly such a reproach was most unfolno and in the present instance there was no per' whatever for saying so, for the 'Judges had t selves led the way to the pessing of the p osi, sent bill, for the purpose of avoiding those 0° promises which were not to be relied col which, certainly, only led to continual °off of perjury. In refusing the present rule, theY acting in the spirit of the Act of Parliamentt - ,%00 ° gave time in order that persons might not be v be d by an ex post facto law. A man might have A tlO l satisfied with-a parole promise, and postpen' enforcing of his debt to a distant day, an d it 1 0 0 be unjust to take at once away from him the vo l i tt of that promise, which would otherwise be tio tO though he did not mean by this to say that O S Tenterden's Act would have that effect, Wel, question was not before the Court; but O s " was a doubt upon that subject, the venue our to be hanged. vat ° Mr .Justce PARKE said that such an obset 41 11 as that made by his Learned Brother Adams ° I V not tohe made from the bar. The venue V have been discharged, had the object of the (18 ant in changing it not been disclosed. • or Mr. Justice BURROUGII and Mr. Justice Ot o fr thought it would lead to monstrous injustice ' 0 0$ fuse the rule, which ought only to be set mide jd substantive motion, and they therefore differe d their Learned Brothers on the Bench. oil' The CHIEF JUSTICE then suggested that 4' o l l be more satisfactory, as such a difference of °Y o' existed, to allow time to the defendant to the plaintiff's affidavit. The rule was accordingly postponed. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.)
