TORS of the GENERAL ANNUITY ENDOW 3IENT ASSOCIATION relative to the ACCOUNTS of the ASSOCIATION and the CALCULATION of the ANNUITIES. By HEIGHAAI ROGERS, One of the Auditors of the Accounts of the Association, in the Years 1832 and 1833. Printed and sold by A. Farnham, 61, Strand. Vhen Mr. M'QUEEN and other statisticians again enumerate the sources and amount of Britain's wealth and power, let them not forget to give our trade the credit of our colonial empire. If the ba- lance then b e proper l y struc k, the squires, and their co .'atortioners, the priests, will probably hang the':r heads abashed, at the little, comparatively, t !ney have done for Britain's greatness. The mercantile principle, which has led to the formation of our colonial empire, must, it is clear, from the results, by which alone any political prin ciple can be tested, be comparatively an excellent principle of Government. Our country is mercan tile, France is agricultural. Freedom is the soul of commerce, agriculture can be carried on by slaves. The West Indian islands have been cultivated by them. Slavery existed till the decay of the Roman empire ; and though it be not our opinion, it is the opinion of good judges, that agriculture has been little improved since the days of CATO and VIRGIL. In many parts of France, and some parts of Italy, a griculture is quite as rude now as it was in the time of the Romans ; and, could the system on CATO'S pet farm be universally adopted in those countries, we are not sure on an average that they would not gain by the change. Trade is based on soul-stirring competition, and inconsistent with slavery. It is the peaceful conflict of ready witted men, who shall gain most. It cannot exist, much less prosper, under the trammels of ignorant legis lation. We not only owe, therefore, our colonial empire to the mercantile principle ; to that we are indebted for much domestic freedom. The keen minds and the bold hearts it has engendered in our cities have been the stays of Britain's moral great ness and her political freedom. Yet the imbecile squires and their allies, linked in an unholy league against Britain's material greatness, and the mental freedom of her children, decry the mercantile spirit. They must put restraints on commerce for sooth! They write about burning down a third of our cities, and restoring the glorious days of unlimited squirearchy and priestcraft. They follow out their principles, and starve the people while they peril Britain's future fate. If successful, they will slowly squeeze her to death ; if not successful, it will be because discontent will generate revolution, and their murderous power will be shaken off, and meet the fate it intends for our great and glorious country; France is agricultural, and Britain mercantile . and the former is thoroughly monarchical and cen tral in her institutions, while the latter, with the name of monarchy, is in many respects democratic and republican. The colonies of France were in the main set afoot and organized by the Govern ment—they proceeded from the central authority, and looked to it for support and success ; the co lonies of England were the work of private indivi duals, and local in their origin. Even our Indian empire was built up by a mercantile Company, with scarcely any assistance from the Government. The principle of centralization, from the very impossibility of any individuals mastering all the details of an empire, must of necessity be con dueted in ignorance and by arbitrary means. The Government of France, as contrasted with that of England, growing from an agricultural community, was founded on the principle of centralization ; the Government of England as contrasted with that of France, growing partly from a mercantile commu nity, is founded on the principle of local, dispersed, and republican authority. The results to which those systems lead, are well exemplified in the colo nial success of the two nations. The British sys tem is followed by great success, the French is a complete failure. This is only a type, we believe, of the general results. When we look at the com parative wealth, knowledge, tranquillity, obedience, and morality of the two nations, we shall probably conclude that in all things these two systems of go vernment lead to similar results to those which are traced in their colonial policy. We wish we could persuade the Whig party to look at this picture, and ask themselves whether their present conduct be consistent with their own principles, and their future success ? A long career of mischievous legislation on the part of the Tories seems to have inspired the Whigs with a notion that they, too, must make a great number of regulations to counteract the mischievous regulations of their predecessors. This is a great error. They are they organs of the mercantile community, as contradistinguished from the squire archy—of the principle of competition, not the principle of restraint—of the principle of free doom, not that of slavery—of the principle of local and republican government, as contrasted with the principle of centralising and monarchical govern ment ; and their business is to repeal laws, to set men free, to localise our institutions, to diminish the power of the Government, and to avoid, above all things, the practices of the Tories. But, many of them belonging to the squirearchy, they have for gotten the principles of their existence as a party, and have followed their class and personal interest as squires. The Whigs should not have multiplied law somewhat different from the Tory laws, but con tented themselves with abrogating the mischievous Tory legislation. If the new Poor-law in the abstract and on principle be a wise measure, in conjunction with the Corn-law it is a mere means of lessening, by cruelty towards the squire's people, their claim on the squire's estate. If the centralization of that measure, contrary to the principles of the Whigs, was demanded by an imperative necessity, it ought not to have been established till the Corn-law had been abolished, and ought to have been temporary. At the meeting at Hertford, a few days ago, the just cry of the people was " Give us more pay, and you will not require a rural police." To support ,he cruelty of the Tory system the Whigs, contrary ;o all their principles as a party, have borrowed from France a centralized rural police. In the same way Mr. HAWES has borrowed vis Police Act, and some Whigs in Parliament, led astray by some schemer, have demanded that the Government should meddle, like the French Government, more and more with the colonies, and bring our colonial empire to ruin, like the colonies of France. But we cannot be much surprised at the folly of Whig Members, when we find a writer in a Liberal Journal—writin g too from the City, the heart of our mercantile system—calling for the ap pointing of a Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank by the Government, or the establishment of a National Bank like that of France. In all the points we have briefly hinted at [there has been of late a tendency to follow the principles and plans of that Government which, in its results, is so mischievous. It is for us a matter of deep regret to perceive that the Whigs, and even the more than Whigs, have been the leaders in this bastard imitation. A silly love of arbitrary and sickly uniformity has usurped in their minds the a dmiration of the rough, irregular, but vigorous freedom which our forefathers admired. They are doctrinaires in a small way. They can see nothing in society but what emanates from Government ; and they hate sought, like the late Emperor of France, and like the present King—though they nave neither the genius nor. the power of those monarchs—to regulate every-,thing. They have mis taken their vocation, and theii'mistake causes the declension of their power, while it enables the 'l'm" now continually to reproach them that their political system, in all its parts, is hypocrisy and fraud. We say with sorrow that the Whigs, as a party, have too often forgotten the principles to which they are indebted for their power, and so THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT GARDEN.

LONDON: TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, IE4I. The Times yesterday, with a masterly hand, in an article transferred to our pages, drew a contrast both as to principle and success, between the colo nial policy of France and of England. The for mer, founded on the principle of conquest or national aggrandisement by violence, has been from the commencement of the eighteenth century a complete failure ; the latter, undertaken by individuals or companies, on the principle of gaining wealth by' acquiring a c ountry and cultivating it, or carry in g on trade with its inhabitants, has been almost uni formly successful. Considering the United States as springing from the loins of England, and in cluding our Indian empire, our colonial offsets corn prise the most astonishing dominion of knowledge and art over ignorance and barbarism, and over the elements of the material world that ever existed. If in the prosecution of the great object, of obtain ing wealth by industry and commerce, our Indian countrymen and our several colonists have been sometimes obliged to have recourse to arms, and to carry on war in a spirit of aggrandisement, that tva subsidiary to the main object, and the " principalities and powers we have conquered, have been taught by our rule to share, not perish by the arts of Euro pean warfare." Some memorable lesions arc taugh t by this contrast, and we willingly avail ourselves o it to state the suggestions which it forces on us. All our vast colonial empire, which now consti tutes such an imposing mass of greatness, is quite distinct from the soil of England. It has nothing to do with the landed gentry. The squires had no hand in founding it. Its origin lies in the mercan tile community. It has sprung from commerce. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, I'4l. they appear as if they were fclse both to themselves and their friends. The letter which appeared in our Journal of Sa turday, from a Member of the League, advocating a. ii union of all Reformers for the repeal of the bread-'1 tax, was judicious and well-timed. The Weekly Chronicle, we observe, advocates a similar policy. It is quite certain that unless the Reformers are united they will gain nothing, and equally certain it? they can unite on any given subject, be it what it may, they will command success. Their opponents,, divided amongst themselves, distracted by the con flict of their dishonest practices with the principles they pretend to teach, cannot offer any determined resistance to men enthusiastic in the cause of free dom. The one thing essential for the Reformers, therefore, is unity—or resolved unanimity in seek - ing one object. From the programme of the great meeting whiclr, is to be held at Leeds, we see that different subjects; are appropriated to different speakers. Mr. Hum E,, for example, is to speak to the condition of the! people, Sir W. MOLESWORTH is to handle the de licate question of the Suffrage, but we do not sea the important subject of unanimity appropriated to any speaker. Perhaps Mr. W ARD, though not the very likeliest man to bring it to pass, may think the subject worthy of his talents, and on no occasion can it be more fitly urged than at the Leeds meeting:.. On what Reformers are to unite, is the difficult question. It augurs ill for the household suffrage that the Chartists of Yorkshire are to meet on the same day as the Leeds Reformers, in order oc oppose household suffrage, and foster a gitation for the five points. They think that it is impossible to have organic changes every Session, and that consequently such a change as household suffrage„ which they denominate unjust—though we believe it could be shown that household suffrage would embrace all classes—would impede their chance o:f obtaining the suffrage for every adult male, anC therefore they are resolute in opposing househole suffrage. In the same manner many of the Char tists believe that the repeal of the Corn-law, giv ing the people good wages, and filling their bel lies, would put an end to discontent, and take away the food of agitation. They oppose the repeal of the Corn-law, but the reason why they oppose it ought to recommend it to those who wish to sec our institutions calmly reformed, not swept away by a revolutionary whirl wind.. On every question there are gr eat obstacles to a union between all classes of Reformers ; btu as union is the one thing necessary to success, all honest Reformers, who prefer the good cause to a ' personal triumph, should essay, above all things, to bring about union. -.a.- The Tories, very much to our satisfaction, are becoming quite purists in election matters. If they will only be consistent in their purity, there will be no need of the Ballot. Every man will be allowed to vote just as he likes, and the meanest tenant of the Duke of NEWCASTLE will never again even receive a hint of the manner in which his Grace expects him to vote on pain of ejectment. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, for example, the Member for Bir mingham, has addressed the following letter to Mr. SMITH, the candidate for Walsall ; and the Tories cry out against it as intimidation, as an unwar rantable interference, and as calling for the severest reprehension : • " Birmingham, ;ran. 4, 1841. "My dear Sir—Most heartily do I rejoice in your coming forward to represent Walsall, believing, as I do, that unless the cruel and unjust Corn-laws be repealed, one-half of :he manufacturers and operatives of England will be left to perish for want of employment. Almost all the nations of the earth would be our customers if we could take in exchange for our goods the only commodity which many of them have to give in return. A long pull and a strong pull to get rid of these iniquitous Corn-laws, and England may once more see what she has long lost— commercial prosperity. Any friends with whom lam ac quainted, or with whom my house has dealings, cannot better promote their own interests, and gratify my feelings, than by voting for yourself. Sincerely wishing you success, " I am, dear Sir, your sincerely, "JOS. SCHOLEFIELD." If it be intimidation to tell the people of Wal sall, who deal with the men of Birmingham, that they cannot better promote their own interests, and gratify the feelings of their customers at Birming ham, then we are afraid that every newspaper has been guilty of the same offence. Scarcely one of them, we believe, but has addressed stronger repre sentations to the men of Walsall, than those Mr. SCHOLEFIELD expresses to the candidate. Bu t when honest and just remonstrances awaken the con sciences of the electors, they become intimidation ! We suppose, from the anger of the Tories, that Mr. SCHOLEFIELD'S letter has had a good effect. It has contributed to open the eyes of the electors to their true interests. What injures Birmingham does not promote prosperity at Walsall. Similar assurances to those given by Mr. SCHOLEFIELD are given to the electors, by addresses and deputations from all parts of the empire ; and should they not listen to such friendly remonstrances, and elect Mr. GLAD STONE, they will injure, if not destroy, their own prosperity, and the prosperity of the rest of the country. We have received the Paris Journals of Saturday. The weather had impeded the com munication in France as well as in Eng land, and the mails from London, Havre, Bordeaux, and Marseilles had not come to hand. Some alarm was felt at Paris from the rising of the Seine, which had flowed over into the Champ de Mars. The Dehats says that apprehensions were entertained that the waters would rise still higher. The Commerce asserts that they began to subside about mid-day on Friday. The political news contained in these Journals is of little importance. All the Morning Papers of Saturday published a telegraphic dispatch, dated Strasbourg, the 14th, announcing that a serious contest had taken place at Argau, in Switzerland, between the Catholics and Protestants, upon the occasion of revising the Constitution, the revision having been rejected. The Commerce, however, affirms that the despatch is inaccurate, and that the inadmissible pretensions of the Catholics caused the civil war. The Constitutionnel contains a long letter on the Rhenish provinces, the object of which is to keep up the irritation of the French, and insist on the necessity of France assuming the energetic atti tude she had taken up under the late Cabinet. The proclamation of peace always, and peace every where, is said to have caused a complete change in Germany, and made both the people and Princes eager for war. The National contains extracts from the German Papers, under the head of " Continuation of the Arming Abroad," which also tend to keep alive alarm, and excite the national animosity of the French. The garrisons of Warsaw and New Georgiewsk have been completed. The Bavarian army is to be put on its complete war footing by the month of March. More than 150,000 men will at that period he collected in the Rhenish provinces. All these Papers, at the same ti►r,e, contain the Speech of the Grand Duke of HEsSE DARMSTADT, on closing tl►e Session of the States, in which he says that he is convinced that peace will be maintained. He asserts that every European Sovereign now on the throne wishes for peace. He expresses great regret at the possibility that his efforts to increase the prosperity of the country should be disturbed by military preparations, and he relics on the support of his people, should sacri fices be required for the security and honour of Germany. The ,Debats has a long and able article on the Report of M. THIERS on the Paris fortifications, and that journal does not approve of the Report. The Debats is alarmed, lest the fortifications should drive the opulent classes and commerce from the city, and leave the poor without employment and without food. It is not yet too late for the French to awaken to a true sense of the folly of fortifying such a city as Paris, and the ridicule which the Dehats throws on those patriots " who express alarm at the movement of every Prussian regiment, and who will in the end make all Europe believe that fear is universal in France," may help to at tain so desirable an object. The French Journals of Sunday are before us, The debate on the Bill for the fortifications n Paris was fixed for Thursday, when a member 01 the Opposition, M. LARABIT, was to move tha the continuous line should be erected before the detached forts. It was expected that this motion would be supported by M. ODILLON BARROT and the Left, and opposed by the Government, by which the relative strength of the different parties in the Chamber would be at once ascer tained. Already has the suspicion arisen among, the Opposition that the Government has no inten tion of erecting a wall of circumvallation round Paris, and that only detached forts are wanted, the guns of which will easily bear upon every ds trict of the capital. Nothing but the sheerest stu pidity on the part of some members of the Oppo sition, and a corrupt betrayal of the liberties of their country on the part of others, could have so long concealed this fact from every member of the French Legislature. A line of detached forts is all that is required by the K ING to bridle the revolu- tionary party. The Government only wants such forts to be in a condition to reduce the Parisians to the most unqualified submission. The KING, Marshal SOULT, even M. THIERS himself, know the project of surrounding such a city as Paris with a wall to keep out an invading army to lie wholly preposterous. But it is necessary to gull the popu lace ; and for such a purpose no better instrument could be chosen than the leader of the war faction, the ex-Minister THIERS. This man has sold himself and his country to the Court. We stated at the period of his last resignation that he had done so, and that he only resigned to avoid the consequences of his own rash and puerile policy. The majority of.the journals, French and English, contended at the time that there would be war to the knife in the Chambers—that M. THIERS, ap pealing to French passions, would place himself a t the head of the war faction, and, after storming the Cabinet, plunge all Europe into war. We knew the ex-Minister better than to share in such a de lusion ; and accordingly intimated that having op posed the Government enough to save:appearances, he would grow quiet, and seemingly resigned to a state of things which he could not change. Sub sequent events have shown that we were not at all mistaken. The French Journals contain ample details of the unfortunate disturbances in Switzerland. Ex tracts from them are given in another part of The Sun. We find in one of these papers a letter from Semlin of the Ist instant, which states that the Porte had refused to revoke the deposition of MEHEMET ALL This statement is untrue. On the 27th ult. Captain WALKER sailed from Con stantinople to Alexandria, charged to bring back the Turkish fleet, accompanied by an officer of high rank from the Divan, who was to deliver to the VICEROY two Imperial firmans, the one revoking the sentence of deposition, and the other conferring upon him the hereditary Government of the Pachalic of Egypt. This news we have reason to believe has been officially communicated to the Four Powers. The Criminal Court of Bamberg, in Austria, lately sen tenced to 5, 10, 15, and 20 years' imprisonment in the fortress 01 Spiclburgh, a number of Poles, convicted of having belonged to secret societies. The Temps and Quotidiehne announce that Governor Rosas intends to come to France with his daughter, on board the French squadron. The celebrated Bertrand Barrere, formerly member of the National Convention, died, on the 13th inst., at Tarbes, his native place, in the 85th year of his age. After making himself conspicuous as a lawyer in the Par liament of Toulouse, he became a journalist and a political man. Barrere was a member of the States General, of the Constituent Assembly, of the Ttibunal of Cassation, of the National Convention, of which he was President in 1792, of the Legislative Body, and of the Chamber of Deputies of the hundred days, and took a most active part in the political struggles of the last 50 years. The Courier Francais attacks the Ministers en the sub ject of the convention concluded between France and Buenos Ayres. Tho Courier forgets that this convention, which besides fulfils all the conditions laid down in the ultimatum of France, was signed by Rear-Admiral Mackau and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Rosas on the 30th of Oct., that is two days after the accession of the present Ministry. Perhaps, too, it forgets that Admiral Mackau has followed in every point the instructions which he received from the Cabinet of the Ist of March. The Commerce speaks this morning of the omission said to have been pointed out in the applications for supple mentary and extraordinary votes of credit, and which it says amounts to no less than 150 millions. This asser ion is inaccurate, no omission has been made; the project of law which the Minister of Finance is to present shortly to the Chamber of Deputies, is that which he has announced and which related to the distributions of the proceeds of the loan among the various branches of the extraordinary pub lic works.—Moniteur. Reports arc in circulation at Toulon which say that the English ship of the line Bellerophon, the same which, in 1815, conveyed Napoleon from Rochefort to England, has perished on the coast of Syria , and that an English frigate is also lost. We need not add that these state ments want confirmation.—Le Constrtutionnel. VIENNA, JAN. B.—The island of Candia was restored to the dominion of its Sovereign, the Sultan, on the 17th of December. Mari Bey, the Turkish Commissioner, arrived on the 15th io the bay of Suda, on board of the Austrian brig Montecuculi, and made his entry into Candia on the 14th. The fir man was published on the 17th, by which the island is restored to the immediate dominion of the Sultan, and Mustapha Pacha, hitherto: governor for Me hemet Ali is continued in his office, in consideration of the important service which be had rendered to the island by his administration.

The Duke of VICTORY, who is supposed to he anxious for war, in order to find employment for his army, was reported to have directed the concentration, on the Portuguese frontier, of a force consisting of sixty battalions of infantry, nine regiments of cavalry, and 160 pieces of cannon, ready to cross the frontier on the 31st of January, the date of the expiration of the ultimatum, provided the question was not previ ously settled. The DUKE'S plan of campaign is said to embrace a division of his army into three corps, and so march simultaneously upon Lisbon, Oporto, and Santarem. The Portuguese o❑ their part are preparing for hostilities, although the Pro- vinces bordering on Spain are already in a state of insurrection in consequence of the levies of fresh troops required by the War Minister, and enforced by the local authorities.

A ItBROA TH, JAN. 11.—I have never felt cold in Scotland till last week, when it was almost impossible to acquire or retain heat in the body, even by violent exer cise. During Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the ther mometer (Fahrenheit) was so low as seven degrees below zero. The air was so dry and pure it was difficult to respire it freely. The host must be far more severe up in the hills, for the hill-birds, such as curlews, snipes, storm cocks, wild ducks, &c. :.rc flying ab , .9ut our very streets. The cold must he intense indeed before it would compel creatures so naturally shy and timid as those I have men tioned to visit our streets and gardens like our domestic poultry. The havoc made among the poor creatures is very great, for every gun has been in requisition against them for sonic days past, and these are not a few, for being on the coast where sea-fowl are in abundance, the poorest man and the youngest boy are all possessed of their double or single-barrelled gun.

A Special General Court of Sewers Was this cl:.y held et ten o'clock, at the Office of the Commissioners, in Greek-street, Soho, T. L. DONALDSON, Esq., in the Chair, for the purpose of signing the precept to the She riff, to summon a jury for the purpose of trying the tra verses made to the presentment of the last jury. The precept having been presented fur signature, Mr. LESI.IE said, that according to the wording of the precept to which he objected, the Sheriff was merely re quired to summon a jury ; now, he would summon a jury under Peel's Act, whereas the precept ought to state that the jury was to be summoned under the Act of Henry Eighth. At a subsequent period of the day, after the pre cept had been signed, Mr. Lesete again alluded to the subject, and stated that the case to which ho had previously alluded occurred in the Tower Hamlets. The Sheriff had been called on to summon a jury of persons resident iu the district ; he did so ; they made their presentment ; the case was moved by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench, and the rule quashed, on the ground of the Commissioners having exceeded their authority in issuing such a precept Mr. Ariel: said that the informality of that presentment consisted in its pointing out to the Sheriff that he must summon, a jury from the district, instead of the county at large. The CHAIRMAN said that counsel had been consulted on the subject, and they had given the form of thy precept. Mr. LESLIE said that the" Act of Henry VIII. required such juryman to be a 40s. freeholder; now, under l'eel's Act, persons might be summoned who were not qualified under the Act of Henry VIII., and on that ground the rate might he quashed, perhaps. Mr. ADEY said the question was whether the Act of Elenry VIII. was repealed by Peel's Act or not. It was he opinion of the majority of the Court and the counsel, :hat the Sheriff might summon all persons qualified to act 35 jurors. Mr. LESLIE thought they ought not to limit the Sheriff under the operations of Peel's Act, as he might send a jury of leaseholders. In answer to a question, the SOLICITOR said that Peel's Act did not mention the 23d Henry VIII. The CHA►RMAN said it was dra►vn up in terms so large as to include all the points. Mr. ADEY contended that the Sewers' Jury was in cluded in the provisions of Peel's Act. After a few words from the Chairman and the Solicitor the subject was dropped, but Mr. Leslie, as we under stood, did not sign the precept. An application was read from the traversers for th© as sistance of the Court in compelling the attendance of witnesses, ac., by subpoena, and it was agreed that the Court would grant the application. Mr. ADEY moved that the solicitors to the Commission► be instructed to prepare evidenca in support of the pre sentment. Mr. LESLIE thought they had the power to procure al the necessary evidence without incurring that expense All they would want would be the parish books and the surveyor's valuation, and he supposed they could compel the attendance of the surveyors, without the assistance of the solicitors. The CHAIRMAN said they would be sure to attend. Mr. LESLIE was of opinion, that in that case the in structng the solicitor to summon would be incurring a useless expense. The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible to tell what evi dence might be necessary, and that therefore it would be better to instruct the solicitor. The motion was then carried by 4 to I. Mr. LESLIE said the effect produced by this resolution would be a most unfortunate one, inasmuch as the Com missioners, who were the Judges, were making themselves parties to the cause by directing . the solicitor to support the presentment. Mr. ADEY said as Judges they must bear both sides, which they could not do, unless some one were there to cross examine the witnesses of the traversers and to sup port the interests of those rate-payers who were willing to abide by the former presentment. Nothing was more common than for the Magistrates in cases of appeal to in struct the clerks to support their convictions. The SOLICITOR suggested the propriety of having a previous view. The CHAIRMAN concurred in the propriety of that sug gestion. Mr. LESLIE said it would be impossible for the jury to have a view previous to their being sworn ; how could they ascertain that the person who had viewed, would ultimately serve on the Jury ? Mr. ADEY entirely concurred in the objection which had just been taken. The traversers, as any of the Jury, came up to the book to be sworn, might object to them, and if they had a previous view, it might so happen that of all those who had been present at the view not one might serve on the Jury. The CHAIRMAN said that a previous view should be deemed necessary, which be for one thought would be the case. The Jury might be summoned and sworn before the day of trial, for the purpose of making the view. The SOLICITOR suggested that instructions should be given to write to the Solicitor for the traversers to give Him notice of the intention to view, and to ask whether he would bo at one moiety of the expense ; he was aware that they could not compel him to du this, but still he might be asked. Mr. LESLIE doubted .whether the Commissioners had the power to otter to defray one. half of the expense, which ought to abide the issue. It was ultimately arranged to leave the matter in the hands of the Solicitor, to whom the precepts were handed. An application was read from Mr. Hutt, the Vestry Clerk to the parish of St. Giles's and St. .George's, Bloomsbury, requesting to have access to certain legal opinions. The CHAIRMAN saw no objection to granting the applica tion, provided the approbation of Mr. Pemberton were pre viously obtained, as, without that, the Commissioners had no power of granting the request. There being no other business before the Court, it was adjourned to Friday. CHANCERY couRT—(THIS DA Y HOWI.IIT V. ADAMS. Tho further arguments in this part-heard case occupied ;he Court the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY (ADMIX) V. COBBETT. The defendant in this case is the son of the late William Cobbett, who was the Member for Oldham, and a bill was filed by the plaintiff against him as the executor of his late father. The defendant obtained the usual order to defend the suit in forma pauperis ; or. the petition of ' the plaintiff that order was discharged. On the 1 Ith of June the defendant was committed to the Fleet for con tempt in not answering a bill filed by the present plaintiff in the Exchequer, and immediately after such commitment detainers were lodged against him for certain costs in this trial. The case now came before the Court, upon the petition of the defendant, praying that the order of the 30th of March, which dispaupered him, might be discharged. The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that according to his understanding of the practice of the Court a party could not either sue or defend in forma pauperis when he hap pened to be an executor. That he believed to have been the rule laid down by his immediate predecessor (the pre sent Lord Chancellor) after a careful examination of the authorities. Mr. Cobbett having obtained the order for leave to defend in forma pauperis, he defending in the character of executor, did that which was in consistent with the ordinary practice of the Court, and the order was therefore necessarily discharged. It was said, however, that the order to sue in forma pauperis ought to stand, because he had a personal interest as re siduary legatee and creditor, but in the very same breath it had been admitted that that interest was now vested in other persons, and that at the present time he was only a party to the suit in his representative character. The pe. tition must, therefore, be dismissed with costs. DE WALL V. LORD MELBOURNE. Mr. PEMBERTON was about to make an application in this case on behalf of the pliiintiff, Armand Patrice Alfred Count de Wall, and several other parties, who are the children of the late Count de Wall, against the Lords of the Treasury, for an injunction to restra►n them from part ing with the fund in their possession for the payment of French claims, when The ATTORNEY• GENERAL, who appeared for the Lords of the Treasury, said he would have been very willing to have followed the precedent established in a similar case that came before his Lordship ilast term, and have un dertaken, on the part of their Lordships, to keep a sum that would answer the demand : but that could not be done in the present case, because the demand considerably exceeded the whole of the un appropriated surplus. At the same time he thought it possible that some arrangement might be made which might obviate the necessity of his Lordship hearing ,the application for an injunction. He understood the great object which the plaintiff bad, was to appeal to a Judicial Committee of the Privy Council against the last aware' of the Commissioners. It had been referred to the Law Officers of the Crown by the Lords of the Treasury whether permission to appeal should be given, but they had not had an opportunity of forming an opinion. What he (the Attorney-General) would propose was, to let the ease stand over for a month or two, with an understanding that there should be no payment from the fund in the meantime, because instead of rendering it necessary for the suit to proceed, the Lords of the Treasury might be recommended to give to claimant the permission lie sough., namely, indefinitely to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, without confining the claim to what were called the Cham pagne estates. Mr. PEMBERTON said it was not possible for his clients to object to that arratig( went, but there had been an actual award to them for 3,0001. The ATTORNEY GENERAL—That they can have any day they like. Thu MASTER of the RoLLs—That is very satisfactory. It is just the course of proceeding one would desire to see take place. Mr. PEMBERTON—Nothing could be more proper than the course my Learned Eieud the Attorney-General pre poses to adopt. The ewe was then ordered to stand over till the first day of Easter Term. VICE-CIIANCEItY.-(11 IIS DAY' -- BANNATYNE U. LEADER. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed this morning, end occupied the whole day.

STEVSNSON V. THE MAYOR ANE CORFORATION OF RERWICIL ON TWEED. This was an action to recover a sum of 306/. IN.' being the amount of plaintiff's bill as a solicitor for work. dune for the Corporation of Berwick; the case was tried.' before Mr. Justice Williams at the Westminster sitting!. and a verdict was had for the plaintiff, subject to the opt' nion of the Court upon a special case. It appeared that the plaintiff, who was a solicitor, had entered int o ' partnership with Mr. Jamieson, the town clerk of Berwick► who was also a solicitor, but had not taken out his ce rtificate , The Corporation had dir ected the ; Town Clerk to do tb°3 work, and he being also Clerk of the Peace, and therebl debarred from practising at the Sessions, handed it over t* his partner, the plaintiff, but without obtaining the sane" tion of the Corporation. The defendants had paid a 0 01 of 521. l Os. into Court, 'A denied their liability as to 1 13 ° remainder. The question in the ease was, whether tine plaintiff had received such a retainer from the Corporation' as would enable him to recover. Mr. Watson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. loghet ts for the defendants. The COURT, after hearing the arguments of Counsels. were of opinion that the payment of the sum of 521. 1 b 13t; into Court by the defeniNis co9ld not be taken to illy.' them to more than that surn'oa - thas there did not a ppear t!:" them any evideney of the plaintiff being retained, the ir , judgment must be, for the defendants.

Not one word was said by the bfraiii in order to lead the plaintiffs to suppose that the nil" , was made by an independent party. 0 11 ' The case was resumed this morning by Mr. Cra g° who was followed by Mr. Cowling. Both gentilf took the same line cf argument as that taken by the A t e - a; ne3-General.
