In 1809 we 8,900, quarters of barley; in 1810, we, imported ..1 ° 01 :1 in 1811 it rose to 33,000 quarters ; • • In 1813 it was only 15,000 quarters. Now, what OW the reason of the smallness of the quantities here marked? The reason was, the greater part of the ports ° ,t - tr the contkient being in possession of our enemies.— \ "ear, hear.) Yet, this is brought forward as a fair in stance of the supply of barley. But putting that aside, he Would ask 'the Vic-President of the Board of Trade, as he had alludedatci ihe revenue, this question, and he was sure be could not put it to a man in that House, better able to answer it,.as there was not ene who was so well acquainted with all branches of the revenue. This question was, did Government intend to take the value of the Scotch barley b y paper, and English barley by gold ?—( Hear, hear.) He should be glad io hear the Right Hon. the Vice-President Of the Board of Trade's answer, as his vote would be con siderably influenced by it. Mr. FORTESCUE trusted that Government would arquiesce in the proposed increase of duty, on the agricul t'Atists must inevitably suffer. Mr. LEYCESTER blamed the departure from the r atio established by Mr. Canning's Bill, between oats, barley, and wheat. He thought the agriculturists would 'offer from it. Mr. BANKES said, that the departure made from th e old scale was not a favour to the agriculturists ; it was done merely because the old rule was found highly er roneous. The question haying been put, Mr. PEEL rose for the purpose of saying that the duty had been proposed after the most deliberate discussion of the Circumstances attending the relative price of the dif ferent grains. Since the Bill of last year had been pro- Posed, there had been such a degree of importation in Wheat noticed, as made them think the price taken last Year not sufficiently high for the protection of the growers in this country. They had not had that experience with respect to barley. The quantity imported very little ex ceeded the small quantity of 200,000 quarters, and that, too, when barley was at a price wh c s made it peculiarly in demand. The reasons, then, which influenced them with respect to wheat did not exist in the case of barley. tie had made calculations of the relative price of barley a nd wheat for the last fifty years ; and to take a long Period like that, in such a case as the present, afforded the °oh' true criterion by which they could judge. The re sults that calculation gave him showed that the relation of barley and wheat was not improperly fixed in the present The relative prices of barley, oats, and wheat, dur metbe last fifty years, taking wheat at 100 s., have been— Wheat 100 s., barley 535., and oats 355. Assuming that t 0 be the true scale, if they, according to the imperial mea ture, laid a duty of 245. Bd. on wheat when it was at 628., a ccording to the relative price he had mentioned, if barley W as at 325. and less than 835., the duty would be about 'lss '7d. The duty taken in this Bill was 13s. 10d., - w snen the price. was at 325. Thus the duty is higher than aCeording to the relative prices the agriculturist was en titled to expect. In strictness, he ought only to have had the fluty at 13s. 7d. or Sd. If any thing, then, the duty o ught to be reduced both on this grain and on oats. And W ?-.S certainly the interest of the farmer, the grower of wheat, to have oats at as cheap a rate as possible. Barley !!,' ,l wheat were pla ce d in far differ en t c i rcums t ances . ,there were not t h e same v i ta l i nterests for maintaining a 'ups supply of one as of th e o th er . U n d er all the circum stances, he could not consent to depart from the resolution ss originally proposed. Mr. WODEHOUSF. said that the Right Hon. Secre tary had referred them back fifty years, but he had not re t°osled th em th a t t wenty o f those years we were at war With nearly the whole Continent, and the supply was then of course ver y li m it e d, an d could not afford a true criterion by which to judge. Mr. Secretary PEEL replied, that if there were disturb nets in the importation of oats and barley, so also was the re in wheat with which they were compared. Mr. WODEHOUSE said that there were particular ) .cars in that period in which it would be unfair to form a j u e , d gment of this kind. In 1810 the price of wheat was and in th a t year we i mported 1,200,000 quarters In wheat, 111,000 quarters of barley, end 150,000 quar `crs of oats. Now he would put this question to the Right Gentleman opposite, in the name of the people of •isgland, how could the people of England have been fed, I , l4l etts by the capital invested by them, the petty tyrants of c.ngland !—(Hear.) Thee red gallery was clear e d f or a di v i s i on , w h en t h ere ap- Pe— For the original Resolution lOl Against it Majority n our return to the gallery, the next resolution, pro ° 'PWintt g that a duty of 9s. 3d. should b e l a id u po n o a t s p er aer, whenever the price of oats is 25c. and under 265. as put. b, hir s FERGUSSON said, that the duty propos e d w as ▪ no means sufficient to protect the produce of the greater Putt °f land possessed by farmers in Scotland. He begged, l ef l/re to propose as an amendment, that the words 0. 3d. 3 d. be struck out of the Resolution, and l Os. 9d. be ' nu titittited- for them. s„ ) Air . C. GRANT said, that the protection now afforded oats was greater than it had been at any former period, 8441 5 . ° lle fact mentioned in Mr. Jacob's valuable Report could prove the fears of the Hon. Gentleman vain. A k ' e rch&nt at Amsterdam last year shipped a quantity of Zs for Londen,l where they sold for 19s. per quarter ; •sluty was then only 2s. per quarter : but the expences freight, porterage, brokerage, metage, loss by measure anther things, reduced the sum for which the Amster • Merchant received credit to 6s. Now that the duty 5...._-smuch mere than 25., they surely need not fear a LeXtravagant importation of oats. After a few more words from Mr. FERGUSSON and Mr. W SIBTLIORPE said, that Mr. Jacob's book might Cvery pleasant one to read ; but h e w i s h e d M r .

The House then divided on Mr. Feacussoles amend- N.

WESTERN was not about to enter into any cal to ascertain with what degree of advantage the fo httb RrOlife ciiitld compete with the home grower ; but t 0 had etrOn — g grounds for the claim he was about to pref e r t ne attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposit e .— tee. articles had always borne a fixed, certain, and ascer is-e:i,atio of proportion, in respect of price, to wheat, . 1 / 4 -7._: 4 2Wte laws which our Legislature had passed at dif t47.7 Periods !tile the subject of corn. This was so in `0 : 1 ous Acitcof 1791, 1801, and 1815, and in each a t ' 4l ll the average, of this proportion on peas and beans a,,,1 Wheat was about two-thirds. The Committee could ~abut tabiteoe; that in the resolutions before them this 'l,nite altered; though he did not doubt that the altera nall-been made quite accidentally. He could not, in upoek what principle it could have been le a necessary to lower the rate of protection forrserly s. %ifs' to theite,twei important articles.

P r csitt3 i Cii GRANT said his reason for resisting the pro ? ie was, that no sufficient reason had been assigned 9.0 e. A At the same time he quite concurred with the i t t lither for Essex, as to the importance to be at - e l: s.. • - ' s ' Peas and hearts.

The Hon.

H e OP observing, that of i late years, all the average prices of coin bad been exceedingly fallacious; nor Was it possible to find one sound principle to guide the judgment in this respect. He did believe that the price of corn abroad depended mainly upon its price here ; and he thought that when that House was legislating for protec tion to home produce, by reference to the price of foreign, it was altogether mistaking an effect for a cause. Upon the whole, he considered the Resolutions now submitted, more favorable to the landed interest than the law of last year, and would support them. Mr. Secretary PEEL could not help observing on the consequence of one of the Hon. Member for Kent's observa tions. If the Scotch retained a paper circulation of de preciated value, the value of money must be increased ac cordingly ; and the money prices of grain were, therefore, to be considered as being so much, proportionably, higher in Scotland as to amount to that very species of protec tion which the Hon. Baronet seemed to think had been denied to the applications of. the Hon. Member for Kirk cudbright. After a few words from Sir Enw. KNATcuau Lt. and Mr. WESTERN, the Committee divided, when we understood that the votes were— For the amendment, 99 1 Against it, 46 !Majority 53. The other Ministerial resolutions were then agreed to. On the resolution, " That it is the opinion of this Com mittee that all the said duties shall be regulated and deter mined from week to week by the average prices of corn, made up in the manner required by law, which prices shall, at the several ports of the United Kingdom, deter mine the several rates of the duties for and during the week next after the receipt of the proper certificates of such average prices at such ports respectively," Mr. C. GRANT said, that his Hon. Friend opposite had made a suggestion with respect to the averages, which he wished to have adopted. His Hon. Friend had said, that he would be satisfied if these words were inserted in the resolution, "according as the averages shall he made up by law." Now he begged leave to inform his Hon. Friend that he had no objection to substitute those words in lieu of those used in the original resolution. Mr. CAMPBELL wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to include the prices of corn at the ports in Ireland in striking the averages. Mr. C. GRANT said, that his Hon. Friend opposite had reserved to - himself the right of bringing the whole question of the averages before the House at a future op portunity ; but he had no hesitation to declare at once, that it was not his intention to accede in any respect to the proposition which his Hon. Friend had said that he would bring forward. Scotch corn, introduced into the English market, was already included in the averages. Mr. BENETT wished to know whether Irish corn in troduced into the English market was included in them ? Mr. C. GRANT replied in the affirmative. Mr. FERGUSSON contended that that amounted to nothing, for the real question to be considered was, not the average price of corn at the outports, but the average price of it to the farmer. Mr. HEATHCOTE said, there was one point which it appeared to him not to have been sufficiently attended to in this discussion, and that was that the price of freight ought to he substracted from the average price of English corn, and to be added to that of foreign corn. The price of freight had not been sufficiently considered in this country. Ile expected, that after all the discussions which they had had upon this subject, they would have entered upon the subject of the price of corn much better informed than they were last year. He was afraid that this was not altogether the case, for lion. Gentlemen had not en tered into the price of freight. What were they to think when a Right Hon. Gentleman got up and told them that the freight from Rostock was 125., and when, imme diately afterwards, an Hon. Gentleman got up and told them that it was only Bs. ? Mr. WHITAIORE trusted the Government would not give way upon this question. Mr. BENETT wished to know on what principle the Right Hon. Gentleman excluded the price of corn in the ports of Scotland and of Ireland from his mode of striking the averages. Surely the Right Hon. Gentleman con sidered both Scotland and Ireland as parts of Great Britain ; and if he did, why did he not take the price of corn in their principal ports into consideration, when cal culating the averages? To take the average price of corn correctly, it ought to be taken from the price which it costs the fired grower ; whereas we took it at present from the price which it had acquired, after it had passed through three or four hands, who had each put their own profit upon it. This was an unfair and invidious mode of strik ing the averages. It looked as if we did not trust the Irish and Scotch growers of corn in taking the averages, and as if we thought in those countries true averages could not be granted. If it should be found convenient to take the averages at the ports of England only, he trusted that some plan would be devised for taking from it the price of freight, port charges, and the other impositions to which it was liable before it could be landed. He parti cularly hoped that some such mode would be adopted with respect to the Irish corn landed at Liverpool and Bristol. If such deductions were made then, hut not till then, would they be able to get at the real average price of corn in this country. By such a mode of proceeding the agriculturists would approach nearer to a real protecting price of 625. ; at present they only received 525., whilst they laboured under all the odium of receiving 625. Mr. PEEL'said, that a better plan for the object which the Hon. Member had in view, would be for him to state some fixed price, at which he wished foreign corn to enter our markets. The Hon. Member was evidently seeking to get a higher protection than that granted to him at pre sent. Now if that protection were fair, let them discuss it fairly, and not, as was attempted at present, by a side wind. A much simpler course would be, to propose at once to raise the import price. Without entering at present into detail, he would beg leave to remind the Hon. Gentleman, that in Ireland and Scotland the averages hitherto had never been taken. Last year, an alteration had been admitted into our system, by admitting the price of Irish and of Scotch Corn to he taken into the averages. That measure raised the price at which protection was granted. He was convinced that very great difficulty would be expe rienced if they attempted to take the averages in Ireland. He really would advise the Hon. Member to propose an addition of 4-s., or more, if he thought fit, to the import price, as it would render the discussion much more simple and intelligible. In proposing 645. as the pivot price, it had been proved that all the data were the same as in the Bill of last year. If the data were altered, the whole pro position was altered ; and therefore he for one could not think of acceding to the motion of the Hon. Member. Mr. WODEHOUSE—The Right Hen. Gentleman seems to have forgotten the nature of my proposition. My proposition was to include the Scotch and Irish towns, for the price of every grain except wheat. I distinctly stated that with the pivot price of wheat I was satisfied, and that believed that the country from one end of it to the other was also satisfied : but I said that such was not the feel ing with respect to the resolutions affecting the other grains. Ido not wish to raise the pivot price of wheat to 645. My proposition only had reference to the other spe cies of grain. Mr. PEEL'was referring not to the Hon. Member for Norfolk, but to the Hon. Member for Wiltshire. Mr. MABERLY considered the present as a prohibitory law, though it appeared to admit corn under certain sti pulations. He was sorry to see Gentlemen take so inte rested a view of the present question as they had done ; but he was compelled to say, that each agriculturist had his own view of it, and that he appeared to think that the country was to, be benefitted by it, when in point of fact it was only himself. After a few remarks from Mr. N. CALVERT, Mr. Ba saai', who denied that this Bill imposed a tax on the con sumer ; Mr. V. FITZGERALD, who denied that any of the Irish agriculturists in that House had suggested the ex pediency of taking the averages in Ireland; and Mr. MA BERLY, who accused Mr. Huskisson of departing from principle in giving up a protection of 64) or '7O per cent. to the agricultural, when he declared his intention of giving no more than a protectio n of 0 5 per cent. to the com mercial interest, The resolution was carried. The CHAIRMAN then left the chair, the resolutions were reported to the House, and the report was ordered to b e received to-morrow. CITIES AND BOROUGHS POLLS BILL. On the motion of Mr. 11. Davits this Bill went into a committee, several verbal amendments were made, and agreed to. After some observations from the ATTORNET..6ENERA L Colonel DAVIES, Mr. R.

Every other subject of public or of private interest sinks into insignificance at this moment, when compared with the glorious result of last night's debate in the House of Lords. But it would be unhandsome to triumph over the fallen, and we therefore leave the defeated faction of the Ultra Tories to their own meditations, and the pity of all the friends of civil and religious liberty throughout the world. The conduct of the Duke of WELLINGTON has gained him the approbation and esteem of the country, and even another battle like Waterloo could not add to his fame what his candour and moderation in this matter have so justly achieved. Now, only, do we begin to have apprehensions of the magnitude of his Grace's power, " Dreaded in battle, and loved in ball," but we have a security that that power will be employed in blessing, not enslaving the country. As to the line taken by the Bench of Bishops, we have already expressed our opinion. The Church of England may now defy the machina tions of Papists and Dissenters, should these ever presume to conspire against her. She has arrayed on her side all who can feel and appreciate the splendour of her Liturgy and the purity of her doctrines, but who formerly saw the practise of her highest functionaries, too often opposed to that spirit of charity and good-will to men, which was announced by a►► angelic choir, to be the very foundation of the religion which they ushered into the world, and which has been I' lo claimed to be such, not only by its Divine Author, but by all who have ever pretended to inculcate his precepts and his faith. The Gazette de France of Tuesday contains some further accounts of the preparations making at Odessa lb' the opening of the campaign, which is daily expected to take place. We understand that Sir FRANCIS FREELI NG'S second son has been appointed Secretary to the Commissioners of Excise. It is busily whispered in the City, that a French g2ntleman, who carried his head rather high, has just taken French leave, by which his brothers are sufferers to the amount of several thousands. Accounts have been received this morning from Paris, stating that the Duke de DAMAS has been appointed Guardian to the Duke of BOURDEAUX. Hamburg', Papers of the, 26th inst. have been received this morning. They contain some par ticulars of Co?nt CAPo D'IsTRIA.'s visit to Napoli di R q ni a n i a , which will be read with interest. NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, MARCH lA. On the 2d of this month Count Capo d'lstria, the President, arrived here, on board the Warspite, accom panied by the frigates' Jun o , _Helen, and Gaston the Mos quito and Reed brigs. He had Scarcely landed, when Griva, the commander of the fort Palamides, appeared, with his officers, to receive his commands. The Count embraced Griva, and expressed his wish to have him and a few of his men with him as a body guard. On which the latter, extremely delighted at the flattering reception given him by the President, declared himself ready with his Palicari, who required nothing but a scanty subsistence to execute his commands in every particular. The President expressed his intention to give the command of the forts and works of Napoli di Romania, to Lieut.- Colonel Heidegger, to whom Grira promiseg to give up the fort and all the magazines of ammunition and previsions. On the following day, the 3d March, the Count accom panied by Lieut.-Colonel Heidegger, went up into the fort, which was given up to the latter. On the sth, the Al banatika, the lower citadel, followed this example. Photo mara, who commanded in it, resigned his office to the Pre sident, and at his intervention even reconciled himself with his mortal enemy, Griva. On the 6th, these two chiefs with their families left the forts and removed to the town. On the ith, Palamides was occupied by one hundred and twenty Hydriots and Spezziots, who are in the pay of the President; Albanatika was garrisoned by 100 men from the town : M. Rayko, a Russian, and M. Muller, a German, were appointed second Commanders in the two forts. On the 9th the troops of Photomara and Griva, the latter under the command of his brother Stavro Griva, set out for the Isthmus of Corinth. On th 3 same day the President also left the town, and took the road by land to Damala (Trezene) and Poros, whence he will return to Egina. Theodoraki Griva, with about 50 men, accompa nied him. Old Colocotroni (Theodore), and Alexander Mavrocordati, are also in the suite of the President. Near Damala, there is a fresh corps of about 2,400 men, the command of which the President has given to Prince Demetrius Ypsilanti. On the 28th of February, the day before the President set out from Poros for Napoli, he re viewed this corps. The commanders of the ships of war of the three Powers, Sir W. Park, M. le Blanc, and M. Petrowitzky, the Stera Prechuli, Pitua Mauromichali, G. Konduriotti, and Andreas Zaimi, and Admiral Miaulis, who was a short time with the Hellas off Poros, Theodore Colocotroni, and a great many other chiefs accompanied him at this review, and were present at an entertainment given on the occasion. Sir W. Parker, and M. Petro witzky, proposed as a toast, " The Independence of Greece." The first, alluding to the laurels with which the table was ornamented added, may it be purchased at this price. The latter added to the toast the following words,—" Peter the Great, who after he launched the first ships of the line, said science and arts came from Greece ;—they will be restored to it by grateful Europe." M. le Blanc drank to the "welfare of the brave Army of Greece." Colocotroni and Miaulis returned thanks for this civility. The toast proposed by the President,—" The Three Powers," was received with extraordinary enthusiasm. Count Capo d'lstria has commissioned M. Rhodius to form at Methana, where are the depots of the Tactikos, formed by Fabvier, another corps of regular infantry. The English brig the Pelican, which arrived here yesterday, the 9th March, from the expedition against Carabusa, where it remained for some time after the place was t tken, brings word that the well-known English Phil hellene, Major Urquhart, who, with a small detachment of marines, was left in command of the fort after the ex pulsion of the pirates, had been buried under the ruins of a house which fell down. M. Heron, another Philhellene, is gone to-day to take the command of Carabusa. We also learn by the Pelican, that an Egyptian squa dron of two frigates, five corvettes, and one dozen trans ports had arrived at Suda in the beginning of March. Count Capo d'lstria has appointed the following Chiefs of the Civil Administration : For Egina—Andrea Janitzi, of Ipsara. For Pores—Demetrius Kalerri, of Candia. For Napoli di Romania—Count Theotoki, of Corfu. For Syra—Benenzelo Ruffo, of Patras. For Calavrita—Kapsali, of Missolonghi. ST. PETERSBURGII, APRIL 12. The Prince of Orange has arrived here. Count Lambs dorff, General of Infantry, died lately, at the age of 83 years. Count Nesselrode, Minister of Foreign Affairs, raised to the dignity of Vice-Chancellor. HAMBURG, APRIL 24. Dr. Hartmann, Professor of History in the Gymnasium, Editor of the Correspondent, died yesterday, after a short illness, universally regretted by the whole city. Lie was only 45 years of age. The insidious Bill for the benefit of the Be nefit Societies, has at length been withdrawn, as a sacrifice to public feeling and social appre hension. We received by the steam-boat this afternoon the Hamburg Reporter of the 25th instant, which gives the following information respecting the great question of war in the East : BoRSEN-HALLE, YOUR. O'CLOCK. Reports of a very warlike nature are in circulation. The Emperor of Russia it is now said was to have set off for the army on the 17th instant, and on the 25th the army is to cross the Pruth, as a prologue to a further advance across the Danube. We rejoice that the judgment of Lord ELDON in the WELLESLEY case is submitted to the review of the House of Peers ; not because we anticipate a reversal of that remarkable decision, but because the present LORD CHANCELLOR will, we trust, feel it his duty to assign some in telligible legal principle, in disposing of a ques tion which affects the rights and the feelings of every man in England. Entertaining, un doubtedly, the highest opinion of Lord ELDoN's abilities and experience, we must say that the whole tenor of his judicial life has betrayed a strong propensity to stretch to an undue extent the powers of the tribunal over which he so long continued to preside. This inclination was, indeed, unusually apparent in the case we now allude to ; and, whatever may be thought of the jurisdiction of the Court, it is at least very certain that when the late CHANCELLOR deprived Mr. WELLESLEY of the custody and society of his children he stated no principle, and referred to no statute or precedent, which could justify his decision. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The supply of Money stock having been good to-day the Coned Market has become since the commencement rather heavy, at a reduction in price ; they opened at 861 a, reached a, buyers, for a moment, but have since gradually declined to 851 6, looking rather fidgetty ; although the business done has not borne an. important character, still there has been a pretty handsome sprinkling effected ; the Commissioners gave 861. The news from Constantinople is reported to be of an unsettled description and warlike, and no hope is entertained of the establishment of peace. India Bonds remain at 99 100 ; Exchequer Bills, 64 5 pm. The Foreign Funds seem to be under the influence of a Bear Account, the settlement of which taking place to-mor row, and the Bull party refusing to lend stock, both compel the former to buy and enable the Capitalist to rid himself of stock ; the price has not, however, materially varied.

AUGsBURGH, APRIL 19.—Accounts from Corfu to March 25, have been received at Ancona, which affirm that the Greek Government, confiding in the Allied Powers, has returned no answer to the persons sent by the Patriarch to Greece, to offer a general amnesty in the name of the Porte. The same accounts say that Count Capo d'lstria, who arrived at Napoli di Romania on the sth of March, has caused the forts of that town to be occupied by Ilydriots, Spezziots, and Ipsariots, and had sent Griva, with his Rumeliots, to Poros. It was thought that an expedition, under the command of Demetrius Ypsilanti, would shortly be sent from Napoli to Athens. ST.

On the former occasion he had got to the death of the third son without issue of the first Lord Leigh, and he had now to advance to the evidence as it affected Christopher, the fourth son, from whom his client claimed to be a descendant. There were, however, a few enquiries ordered to be more parti cularly made the last time the case was before the House, and which had been done. Mr. Coston had searched the Enrolment-office for letters patent, but found no patent of the creation of Sir Thomas Leigh. Mr. Julius Boucher, clerk to the record -keeper of the Privy Seal, produced the docquet.-book, in which there was an entry dated June, 1643, of the patent cre a ti ng Si r Th os . Leigh, Baron Leigh of Stone-leigh, and granting the said dignity to him and his heirs male, &c. In taking up the case of Christopher, the Rev. Mr. Cooper, incumbent of Mampstell Ridwell, was called, who proved the registry of Christopher, 4th son of Sir Thomas and Lady Mary Liegli, dated the 30th Sept., 1626. Mr. ADAMS now intimated, that in consequence of the indisposition of a clergyman he was not able to-day to prove a marriage between Christopher and Miss Cotton by the register, but would give secondary evidence of it, by sheaving that there did exist a parish monument, from which it appeared that Christopher was the fourth son of Sir Thomas, the first Lord ; that he married Miss Cotton, and had a son called Roger. Thomas Hancock examined by Mr. KELLY-Was se venty-nine years of age last August; was born at Stone leigh, and had lived there ever since, until within the last 12 years. Remembered two monuments on the wall of the church, opposite the pulpit : on one was the name of John Webster, Esq., and on the other, Christopher Leigh. There were other inscriptions on both, but could not recollect to what effect. Could not recollect when witness saw them last; had not seen them since the walls of the church were pulled down, which must have been rather mere than a dozen years ago. Knew not in what condition the walls were when taken down. Cross-examined by Sir J 4MES Scarmerr—Lived now at Coventry, and was formerly a weaver. Had not seen many hand-bills--did not know that he had seen any describing the monument in question. The first thing he had seen about it was in the Newspapers about a month ago, but could not recollect what that was, his memory being treacherous. Mr. Coston had called on him, who had prepared an affidavit, which he had got witness to sign before an attorney ; could not say how long ago it was since he had signed the affidavit; knew the distinction be tween chancel and church, and remembered that there were monuments in the chancel ; took an account of two of them, that of the Duchess of Dudley, and of Mr. Shaw. They were in Latin ; could not read them, but copied them as they were; took the for mer for Mr. Short, a schoolmaster, who wished t collect Latin inscriptions, and the latter for Mr. Couch man, senior. Believed that there was also in the porch a monument to the memory of Mr. Humphry Howe. Mr. Leigh's was a dark oblong stone, the longest part placed upright in the wall. Could not say whether it was of marble or common stone. It was larger than Webster's. " Christopher Leigh" was written in English, and at full length, but could not say what the other part of the in scription was. Believed Christopher Leigh to have been the only proper name on it. Had never seen a picture of the stone, nor heard of there having been one. The next witnesses were Thomas Johnson, a surveyor, residing at White Lion-street, Pentonville ; Mr. Soden, of Amelia-place, London, builder; and Richard Perks, a plumber. The witnesses agreed as to the fact of the mo nument having been in existence, and as to its bearing the name of Christopher Leigh, but they differed in their reminiscences of the form of the monument and the colour of the marble. The last witness distinctly swore that he saw the monument after it had been taken down from tin wall of the church, in 1811, and when it was placed in the vestry-room. He remembered well, that after leaving off work every evening at the church, he used to go into the vestry-room, and place his tools behind the nsonnment. Cross-examined by the AiroaxEv-GxwEnAL.—We did not alter the roof; after working we used to go into the Vestry; the tools we used were plumber's tools ; the monu ment was about four feet eight inches high, and was in the Vestry ; the writing was towards the wall, and I saw it both before and after it was taken down ; it was about two feet and a half wide; I saw the drawing of the monu ment ; it was of a white colour, but somewhat discoloured ; the writing of the letters was black upon a white ground. By the COMMON SERGEANT-The monument came to an angle at the top, the lower part nearly square. There were a great many lines on it. They were written in various sorts of letters. Some of the lines were in English, and some in another language. The name of Christopher Leigh stood first, and the name of Cotton was also on it, and the word Lancashire. The word Hon. was attached to his name. The escutcheon on the wall and every thing else was removed in 1810.— A monument to Plumphrey Howe was also taken down, but I never saw it afterwards. I remember Webster's mo nument which stood near the church. I left off working in 1816 for the Stone-leigh family. Left to come to Lon don. There was no complaint of my charges. Nor any dispute between us. I knew Mrs. Gamlea, a tenant of Mrs. Chandos Leigh's, who was turned out of her farm.— I never recollect having written to her, to advise her to resist being turned out; I do not know how long it is since she was turned out. I was applied to on this sub ject in 1819. Re. examined—Had never any dispute with the family of Stone .leigh Abbey, and they on one occasion augmented ono of my bills. By a Peer—l do not recollect the christian name upon the monument prefixed to the name of Cotton. The LORD CHANCELLOR here suggested the propriety of going on with the examination of witnesses until two o'clock, which was agreed to. John Whitehead a carpenter, examined by Mr. ADAMS — The evidence of this witness was chiefly important in so far as it stated his recollection of a copy of the inscription which was taken in 1.809 by a Mr. Bennett, a schoolmaster. He stated that he compared the copy with the inscription upon the monument, and that every word of it was in Eng lish. It ran according to this witness's statement, in these terms :—" Christopher Leigh, fourth son of the Ho nourable Thomas Lord Leigh, and Lady Mary, his wife, the daughter of -- Cotton, deceased. A. D. sth September, 1672." The words did not begin "to the memory of Christopher Leigh," but simply " Christopher Leigh." The LORD CHANCELLOR here stated that not one of the witnesses agreed as to the form, the size or the colour of the monument, nor as to the language of the inscription upon it. He therefore held that this stone destroyed the claimant's case, but Counsel might proceed further if they pleased. John Leigh, a farmer from Stone-leigh, remembered two monuments in the church, one to Mr. Webster, and the other to the Hon. Christopher Leigh. The whole of this last was in Latin, except the words " To the Hon. Christopher Leigh." At this period of the discussion the LORD CHANCELLOR rose, and proposed that its further consideration be adjourned. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. There was nothing of the slightest interest in the Court of Common Pleas this morning. THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—WC have great pleasure in stating that the Marquis of ANGLESEY is nearly recovered. His Excellency entertains a large party of the nobility and gentry at dinner this evening. —Dublin: Morning Post of Saturday.

The room was crowded, and the business brisk and irri portant, settlirg the Newmarket accounts forming an in-. teresting part of it. For the Derby, the Colonel keeps steady at Ito 1, heading Cadland half a point. Lamb • tonian and Zinganee were both in demand. iNlerelia.nt and Giraffe had a few friends, and between these and the outsiders none were backed; Jean de Bart and Alcaston were in some demand. A very important feature of the Oaks betting was the bringing a new filly into the field (Lord G. H. Cavendish's by Andrew, dam by Pioneer— Ridicule) ; last week she was at 20 to 1, but any one would jump at 7 to 1 now; there was a strong party backing her, Zoe, and Rosalia, Zoe being steady as first favourite.—The odds closed as follow : DERBY. 4 to 1 agst Hon.
