EGYPT. AL EXANDRIA, Mailer{ 30.—Since the departure of the e 41 ,1 nothing of importance has transpired here. We are Othout any official news from Constantinople. Six or seven Nr Id additional troops have arrived in Alexandria during test few days. The plague has somewhat increased, and has 't) among the Pacha's'fleet. The captain of No. S (of the ok t died of plague two days since, and in Cairo the cases are 10 daily. 'fen m. cotton were sold by auction this 1 4 4 1 ng 13 77i-100 per cent. The Emmetjee packet came night from Beyrout. By the accounts she brings it kits the F ren ch are actively intriguing there, and that I k e ( theron in her last trip to Beyrout, took there 125,000 1 0r distribution among the Catholic Christians and k it si while many agents are actively employed in exciting t ito t nst and ill-f ee li ng t owar d s th e English. There is much Qt y tent among the mountaineers, who complain of harsh kith. 4l 'by nt the Turki.h Governor, and have really benefited A g 1 ? y the exchange of masters. Colonel Napier re- Y a q by th e Emmetjee, having accompanied to Syria the kil l !' hostages, whose arrival there caused great excitement 'inicing among the mountaineers, but the French had f4 4l ed among them all the credit of obtaining their release. Wilbrahim, with his staff and fifty artillerymen, was Itti t Yrent. One of the French political agents, Count Ber 14e.arrived here by the Emmetjee. The plague was corn in Beyrout, and the infected districts surrounded by tti,,.., 4 Y cordons. The Count had broken the cordon, and re ed a wound in the affray with the Turkish soldiers, but H e eded in getting on board the Emmetjee. 4 11, 6.—The cases of plague in Cairo are now reduced to hi li 4 five.

Si te ' reach frigate arrived to-day in 16 days from Brest, to e the Embuscade corvette in this harbour. \ g ,!.Giraffes are arrived in Cairo on their way to France, in 7, it is reported, for Russia. Pacha is in good health, devoting his whole time to Operintendence of his estates near Cairo, and apparently ,kterfering in politics. 14),Lttifications are still creating, and a body of between 1 1 1e7, and 30,000 troops are in the vicinity of Alexandria, but ‘6 Iby this steamer has quieted all fears of seeing hos -- ttnewed.

Sweepstakes of 50 toys. each.—Oakley made the running, and won easy by a length, the pace very bad to the T. Y. C. post. Revel ran unkindly.

CBRONICLE.—Mr. Walter has been returned for Not tingham by a majority, variously stated at 296 and 280. Mr. Larpent resigned at half-past one o'clock. The former num ber is the official return of the sheriff when Mr. Larpent resigned. It would be idle to deny that during this elec tion Mr. Walter has been the candidate of the multitude. Our reporter has, we think, very fairly accounted for his popularity. Nottingham, like all old boroughs, contains a number of electors who expect to be paid for their vote, hut who, at the same time, have their likings and dislikings, and will sell themselves for less to the candi date of their choice than to Ids opponent. The Chartists have performed their part of the bargain fairly to Mr. Walter—having, it is understood, obtained many votes for him on very favourable terms. But besides the Swiss, who are nu merous in Nottingham, many persons viho were not to be bought, and who on an ordinary occasion would not.have voted for a Tory, were induced by hostility to the New Poor-law to oppose the Liberal candidate. This is the fact of which there can be no question. The people in the manufactur ing towns say there are seasons when, from flatness of trade, multitudes are without employment, and few wholly employed ; and the necessitous having been aeons • tomeit to partial relief at such times, arc horrified at the idea of going into a workhouse. This is the view they take of the matter, and the intensity of their feelings is hardly to be described. Mr. Walter entered the field with not a few draw backs in other respects. The principles of the Times, or rather the total absence of all principles except such as are assumed for the day, and his own shuffling with respect to principles, would have sunk him, in spite of the most profuse expenditure amoney, but for the hc.stility to the New Poor law and the mariner in which that hostility was turned to ac count by his active allies, the Chartists. We have confined ourselves to a mere statement of what we conceive to be the facts on nf thethe subject ea se. W ef r e ti a i b et s l t l a . in for the present from all discus sionTl IIES.—We are quite aware of the folly of imagining, whether in public or in private affairs, that the circumstances in which we ourselves happen to take a peculiar interest must necessarily possess the same interest in the eyes of all other persons. But still, after making all the allowance on this score which we are able, it does seem to us impossible to doubt, that the return of Mr. Walter for Nottingham is an event of very unusual importance. The last contest which took place in this borough was in the year 1837, when the poll closed as follows : Ferguson Hobhouse Plowden Twiss.. But 1,640 1,639 1,148 1,147 the numbers polled yesterday were— Walter . Larpent 1,722 The Whig majority, therefore, of 492 was turned into a mi nority of 296, making a clear difference of 788 votes. Now, allowing, as we must always do, for the constant declension of the Whigs, by the ever-increasing disgust of the people, still, this circumstance of itself cannot sufficiently account for this enormous defalcation. It is quite useless for any one to at-. tempt to deny that the detestation felt for the New Poor-law is one main cause of the defeat sustained by the Whig nomi nee of yesterday on Nottingham hustings. But, this feet being admitted, we should next consider the great power of this new element, thrown into our popular elections. It has wrested Nottingham from the Whigs ! Can a stronger proof be required of the potency of the public feeling Nottingham, the safest and closest of all the large Whig boroughs ! Nottingham, which has witnessed about seven severe contests in the last thirty years, and seen the Whigs victorious in every one ! Nottingham, to which Mr. Larpent was recommended, as to "a perfectly safe speculation"—he having previously declined East Surrey, on the plea of being engaged to start for the City of London ! Nottingham, with its Whig corporation, filling every office in the town with electioneering agents ! Nottingham, the strong est hold of Dissent th a t England can produce ! Nottingham itself has postponed or cast away all the seductive theories of Ballot, Extension of the Franchise, Abolition of Church-rates, &c., and has eagerly returned the man who stood boldly and honestly on his opposition to the Somerset-house triumvirate. We say boldly and honestly. The Ministerial Journals are often ready to taunt us with the conduct of cer tain Conservatives, who they tell us use the New Poor-law as a hustings topic, and then utterly forget it when they reach the House of Commons. If such there be, with them we have no sympathy; and we may perhaps hint, that the reason why mere hustings declamation on the New Poor-law has never worked such wonders as we have seen at this Nottingham elec tion, has been, that seldom before has any body of electors had the tender of the services of one on whose sincerity they might so thoroughly rely as the men of Nottingham felt they might on the earnestness and steadfastness of Mr. Wal ter. They knew that the cause which brought their Candidate to Nottingham, was—not to advance his own personal interests, or even to serve the cause of a mere political party, but to raise a banner on which was in scribed, whether mistakenly or not we shall not now argue, but at all events honestly, the cause of the labouring poor. But Nottingham is not a strange and outlandish place, affording no clue to the feelings of the people of England. Will any man be so weak as to suppose that the power which has brcken in that borough a yoke which had been quietly borne for more than 30 years—will any man imagine that the same spell would be powerless in Halifax, in Bradford, in Leicester, in Sheffield —in fact, in an hundred other places that might be named ? And is not this a point worth considering ; nay, is it not a point that must be considered? Is not a dissolution, in the present state of affairs, at all times just in sight? Think of this, gentlemen representatives, whether on the one side of the House or on the other ; and turn your thoughts, while there is yet time, to the removal of the deformities of this detested law. HERALD.—It is exceedingly amusing to observe with what eagerness the morning ministerial print " came out" to repu diate the notion that their defeat on Monday night could pos sibly induce Ministers to resign. Lord John Russell's request for a week (not for a day as the Chronicle says) to consider which way he was to turn himself, " led to a very ridiculous misconception of the object of it, which obtained currency in the clubs—that Ministers were contemplating a resignation." Such a rumour as applied to any other party in a similar po sition would be the most semblable in the world ; and we presume that the Chronicle only means that it is a ridicu lous misconception as applied to the Whigs. Taken in this sense, there is some reason in its prompt and indignant refutation of the supposed sensitiveness of her Majesty's Ministers ; and the clubs were very wrong to entertain the rumour of such a miracle, until po i tively assured by Lord John Russell himself of the fact. They should have remembered how many affronts of the same sort her Majesty's Ministers had already endured without showing the slightest milkiness with office, before helieving (except on the best att'bority) that the drubbing of Monday night would induce them to budge. Indeed, if Lord Melbourne nimself had sent them the good news, they should (as the phrase goes) have "suspended their judgment" until they had seen his Lord ship's chattels fairly " bundled out" of Downing-street. At any rate the public (after what has passed in the way of bed chamber intrigue) will look for some such conclusive sign before they are satisfied that the Whigs hare resigned, and that . his Lordship has really reconciled himself to quitting the " gay and festive scene," which has been to him as the air which he breathes, and without which it seems as if he would die. But, badinage apart—notwithstanding all we know of their mean tenacity of office, of the indignities they will endure, and of the tricks they will resort to far its retention—it is difficult to imagine how they can avoid resign , - in;; after their signal discomfiture on Monday night. By re signing, we do not mean the farce of tendering their resig nations to her Majesty, and then preventing her Majesty from conclusively accepting them, by intrigues which resider it impossible for any upright set of men to take their offices off their hands. We. mean honestly quitting office " bag and baggage," and leaving a fair field for their successors to conduct the public service to the best of their ability. The Citron:etc considers that this would be ridiculous, and cannot see why they should hesitate as to continuing the Government. The defeat, it contends, was no defeat, because a portion of their old allies contributed to it. This we take to be the worst and most fatal of all d e f ea t s . What general would continue a campaign with an equal force opposed to him, when in every pitched battle a part of his own troops turned round and assisted in routing him ? With an opposition all but equal to them in number, and far superior to them in talent, a Ministry must necessarily be lamentably weak, however zealous and compact its own party might be. But for a Ministry, so held in check by a powerful Opposition, to pretend to carry on the Go vernment (in a manner deserving the name of Govern ment), when, upon a measure on which its reputation was staked, its own party contributed to swell a large majority against it, would be "ridiculous" indeed. What mea sure, involving any principle to which it is committed, can the pi event Ministry, after the event of last Monday, propose with any confidence of carrying it? And without such confidence they are utterly useless for all purposes of legislation, in most of the important branches of which the Ministry of the day can alone take the initiative. They must remain in power —no, in place, each the mere nominal representative of his office (ex cept so far as the receipt of its salary and the command of its patronage are concerned), without weight in Parliament, with out service to the country, and without credit to themselves; and this, after all they have done and suffered for the sake of office, would, if possible, be unworthy even of them. VOST.—We sincerely congratulate the public on the rescue of the borough of Nottingham from the hands of the Whig- Radical faction. This is another Conservative triumph, scarcely inferior in value to that which was achieved in the House of Commons on the preceding day. What a change has taken place in the relative strength of parties in this borough in the short space of four years ! In P... 437 the Whig- Radical candidates triumphed by a majority of seven hundred, and row we behold a gentleman of the same political school, and of personal pretensions in no respect inferior to those of the former candidates on the same side of the question, re jected by a majority of three hundred. The numbers at the final close of the poll yesterday were at follow t Pot Mr. Walter For Mr. Larpent • • 1,722 Majority ... ... . Our Ministerial Contenip . eraries Must endeavour to console themselves undtr this defeat, as they do under that with which we have Ventured to compare it, by the persuasion that the question at Nottingham was not a party 'qUestion, and that there cannot possibly ka a*: - patty triumph, because the Minis terial defeat has been in part occasioned by a diVision in the Ministerial ranks. ADVERTISER. —The defeat of the Mitiigtry on Lord Howick's amendment on MOtidAy night is Considered in all quarters as one of tht most contemptible manoeuvres that was ever attempted against an Adminittration.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS PAY. TINIES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 7i per mille, which, at the English Alint price of 31. 17s. 10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 34, and the ex change at Paris on London at - sit - di-I li6ng - 25. - 4 - .24, it follows that gold is 0 3ent. dearer in Lond on th an i n Paris. . . _4:pr cent.

There is still an evident tendency in the English securities to decline, and though there was not much business done dur. ing the day, the offers of money stock for sale acted prejudi cially on prices in general. POST.—The English Funds fell again this morning, in consequence of the decided defeat of the Ministry last night in the House of Commons. With so large a minority there ap pcirs to most people to be no alternative but for the present men to go out of office; and every crisis of the kind, causing, as it must, a demand for money for electioneering purposes. is found to have an unfavourable influence on prices. It would seem that the Decayed Members' Fund of the Stock Exchange has suffered more seriously by the reported breach of trust on the part of a trustee than had been supposed. A further deficiency of from 5001. to 6001 is said to have been detected. To show that there is no real cause for despondency with res pect to the President steam-ship, we desire to call the atten tion of the publ c to the case of a vessel bound from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Jamaica, which was dismasted on the 10th of February last, in much the same situation in which the Presi d nt may be supposed to have been a month subsequently. We allude to the ship Ellen, Captain Brown. This vessel was the other day placed on the hooks at Lloyd's as having arrived in distress at Antigua on the 17th of Alarch, after a tedious pas sage of thirty-five days from the point at which she had suf fered the loss of her masts, lat. 40. long. 63. Assuming that the President may have found herself in circumstances similar to those of the Ellen, and like her have pro ceeded to Antigua—for there is not much probability of her making Bermuda—it will be right to allow till the middle of April for the purpose. To hear of her having reached Antigua would require, upon a fair average computa tion of the time consumed in the passage thence to England, at least thirty days, which will give the missing steamer about three weeks longer. It may be further stated, that, some years since, a frigate was dismasted in the month of Septem ber about 300 miles to the south of St. John's, Newfoundland, and that, with all the, strength of her crew, she could not be put in a condition to get to that port in less than seventeen days. Many other instances, some quite recently recorded on the books of the underwriters, might be adduced in support of the impression that the President will still eventually be heard of. The fact that calms had succeeded the heavy gales of the 12th, 13th, and 14th ult. is to be regarded as favourable to such a result. 3 U N.—The defeat of Ministers in the House of Corn. mons, though not expected to lead to any change in the Government, as some of the Tory prints would fain have us believe, has necessarily caused some flatness in the public securities, for our readers must be made ac quainted with the fact, thet there are Tory stock-job bers as well as Tory p!acetnen, and that an opportunity is seldom lost by either to turn a penny at the expense of the public at large. Hence the attempt now to get down the funds, on the plea of the Ministry being in danver. For immediate transfer, Consols realised 90i in the morning, subsequently-receded to 898, and left off at 90. For the 25th proximo, the opening quotation was 901, and the subsequent transactions were at 90k to 1. Exchequer were not quite so good, being at 15 to 13 prem. ; India Bonds were marked 4 to 2 prem. ; the Reduced Three-stud-a-Half per Cents. receded to 971 and 97k ; the New Three-and-a- Half per Cents. to 981 and 988, and the Three per Cent. Annuities to 89k and to 89. The Foreign Securities and the Railway Shares par ticipate in the dullness of the English Stocks. The New Five per Cent. Portuguese Bonds were at 331 to 34, and Spanish Active Bonds were nominally at 23k. The accounts by express from Paris of Cabrera having entered Spain again, not being credited, did not lead to any movement in the latter. Mexican Bonds of 1837 were worth 294 to 301, Columbian Bonds 221, Chilian 61k, Brazilian 69, and Peruvian 178 to 1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 52} to 521, and the Five per Cents. 991 to -a. Great Western Railway Shares were at 29 the New, 131 to 148, the Fifths at 71, and the South- Western at 198 to 198 premium. Brighton Shares were up to 11, and Eastern Counties were at 14 dis count. Australasia Bank Shares realised 18 to 8, Co lonial Bank 118, London Joint• Stock 21 to 8, and London and Westminster 21 to 3 premium. This afternoon the Foreign Exchanges were again in a depressed condition, chiefly as regards the rate on Paris, whither it is said large remittances are making, to complete instalments on shares in the Rouen Rail way.

This magnificent exhibition has been the point of immense attraction during the holidays. Independent of the extensive museum of rare specimens of the productions of nature and works of art, and the nu merous practical models in operation, there arc a number of things to be viewed, each of which might rationally be considered entitled to rank individually as an exhibition worth all the charge for admission, and the different lectures, illustrated with first-rate apparatus, among which is Mr. Green, the celebrated aeronaut's newly-constructed balloon. The cosmorama comprises a great variety of views, several of which are paintedon glass, and they arc very much admired for their brilliancy of effect in their colouring, as are also those which are 2 :minced by the new process called Daguerreotype. There is one view, which at the present moment is likely to command more than ordinary attention, namely, a panoramic view of the city of Canton, painted by a Chinese artist. Then there is the beautiful model of the Isle of Wight. The diving-bell, and the sub marine explosion-experiment, always proves attractive.

Notice has been given to the Great Western Directors, the lessees of the railway, that the line to Bridgewater will be ready to be opened for traffic on Whit Monday, the 31st of May next. Tenders for loans on debentures are being offered every day, and, in fact, the fulfilment of the anticipations of the Chairman, at the half.yearly meet. hag, sanguine as they were even then in the promising state of the Company thought to be, is so fairly in pro gress as to render it likely to fall short of rather than to exceed the reality. All this is the result of having firm and resolute directors and officers. This line would, for years to come, have presented a chaos of incomplete work, instead of a well-finished railroad, returning a handsou e dividend to the proprietors, and conferring incalculable benefits upon the surrounding country. —Devonport Telegraph. UNIVERSALITY OF VEGETABLE LIFE.— Wherever circumstances are compatible with vegetable ex istence, there we find plants arise. It is not only on the luxuriant soil, on which many generations have flourished and decayed, that we find the display of their beauties. The coral island, but recently elevated above the level of the sea, speedily becomes clothed with verdure. From the materials of the most sterile rock, and even from the yet recent cinders and lava of the volcano, nature pre pares the way for vegetable existence. The slightest cre vice or inequality is sufficient to arrest the invisible germs that are always floating in the air; and the humble plants which spring from these soon overspread the surface, de riving their chief nutriment from the atmosphere. Having completed their allotted period of existence they die and decay; but their death is only a preparation for the appearance of higher forms of vegetable structure. They are followed by successive tribes of plants of gradually increasing size and strength; until, in the course of years, the sterile rock is converted into a natural and luxuriant garden, of which the productions, rising from grasses to shrubs and trees, present all the varief es of th r fertile meadow, tt c tangled thicket, and tha widely spreading fo rest. No extremes of heat or cold seem to put an entire cheek upon vegetation. Even in the desert plains of the torrid zone, the eye of the traveller is often refreshed by the appearance of a few hardy plants, which find sufficient materials for their growth in these arid regions. And wherever a spring of water moistens the soil and atmos phere around., a spot of luxuriant verdure is found. —Pe pular er:lopcedia of Natural Science. The loss of the President, if that noble vessel be lost, ought not to create any want of confidenca in steam navigatien, for many of our finest ships of war, of the largest size, and rerinmanded by the most skilful, and, in every r espect, tee most able of our naval offic.rs, have been lost by foundering at sea. For instance, in 1807, the Blenheim, of 80 guns, and the Java frigate, of 36 guns, both foundered .off the Isle of Madagascar, and every soul on board perished. The Blenheim had 700 men ou board, and was commanded by the brave Sir Thomas Trowbridge, one of Nelson's favourite cap tains, and who was not only an excellent seaman, of great talent and experience, but an officer of science and inexhaustible resources in every kind of difficulty and danger. On board the Blenheim perished Lord Rose bill and Capt. Elphinstone, the son of the Chairman of the East India Company. Not a particle of either the Blenheim or the Java was ever found or heard of, and the latter had about three hundred men on lerard, so that in the two vessels a thousand lives were lost. In 1811 the St. George, of 98 guns, and the Defence, of 74 guns, perished rri coming only the short distance of the Baltic to England. The two ships had about fifteen hundred men on board, and of this immense number only eighteen were saved. The St. George bore the flag of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, an officer of the highest merit, and who, with respect to seamanship, nautical science, experience, and undaunted courageland fortitude, had not his superior in the British navy. The details of the loss of the St. George are truly heart-rending to peruse, even at this distacce of time. Scarcely a plank of either of these immense ves sels was ever fonnd or heard of. So numerous were our losses by foundering and wrecks, that it was calculated that in o . .ie year, 1811, five thousand of our seamen had perish-.d. —Snnday paper. COINS FOUND IN THE THAMES.—At a meet ir9:‘, of the Numismatic Society, held on Thursday evening, 3 '.,1r. Charles Roach Smith, F. S. A., read a highly interesting impels en Roman coins found in the bed of the River Thames, patticularly as illustrative of the early history of London. in the excavations for the approaches to new London Bridge and the coffer dams in the river, as well as in the removal of the piles and works of the o d bridge, and the subsequent operations of ballast heaving for deepening the channel of the river, several thousands of Roman;coins were discovered, of which but little record has been kept. These were chiefly of the large, second, and small brass, with a few silver, and three gold medallions, two of which were found under one of the piles of the old bridge. Of Vespatian, Domitian, and Titus there were many hundreds, while those of Adrian, Dio cletian, Severus, Constantinus, Claudius, and Nero, were very numerous. The coins, in fact, presented a history of the Roman dynasty in Britain during nearly three centuries and a half, embracing the reign of nearly every Emperor. 'they were generally in a fine state of p reserva ti o n, and as if but recently turned out of the Mint, displaying also a very high order of art. A question of considerable interest to anti quarians was as to how so large a mass came into the river, extending, as the coins did, in a parallel line from the City to the Southwark side. By some it had been consi dered that they had been accidentally lost at the ferry formerly existing at this spot, whilst others bad imagined them to have been part of the stock of a curiosity shop which had been destroyed when the bridge was burnt. The writer, however, gave it as his opinion that there formerly existed over the river at this spot a bridge built by the Romans. It was stated as singular that none of these coins were worn further than what would be occasioned by the trituration of the gravel, and amongst then were found no British, Greek, or Saxon coins, except deposited by obvious accident. Near the foun datioa of the old bridge was also found a colossal head of Adrian, with many beautiful bronzes, which it was evident had been defaced and destroyed by the early Christians in their zeal for the destruction of every symbol of idolatry, and it was not improbable but in their hands coins might share the same fate. The paper elicited an interesting discussion confirma tory of the opinion of the existence of a bridge over the Thames at this spot in the time of the Romans.

We remember, not a very great many years ago, an advertisement appearing in several of the morning pa. pers announcing that a new discovery had been made in the mode of taking likenesses, by which the individual sitting would only be required to sit for a minute, and survey himself in a mirror, and, by a wonderful process the likeness, a veritable copy of the living subject, should be arrested, and baF ed upon the surface, and made a permanent picture for ever. A particular day was named when the wonderful artist was to open to the public at a house in the Strand. The day arrived, and at the hour specified, the vicinity of the residence described was beset by a vast concourse of people in carriages, and pedestrians of all ranks, all eager to behold what ap peared to be a miraculous achievement of science—and not a few artists went to behold, with sorrow, what they conceived to be the deatb.knell to their profes sion as portrait painters. The visitors, however, soon discovered that they had been made the victims of a practical joke—the entire matter was a hoax : the wag who had perpetrated the trick got great credit for his address and ingenuity in managing the affair, and the whole world laughed at and wondered that there could have been any credulous fool found so soft as to have been bitten by an announcement of anything so palpably preposterous. Photography, however, leas changed the matter altogether—lied it been introduced in the language of mystery, or had it been known in an age when superstition reigned more powerfully than in our own time, it would have admitted of a most mi raculous interpretation. The description of the Strand hoax would almost in every particular apply to the process of photography.

IN THE MATTER :a is DEVIZES'GHARITIES. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE (with whom sveS Mr. Jacob) said this was the petition of two gentlemen named George White and Thomas Carter, both inhabitant householders of Devizes; -and preying that a gentleman named - Pfritilse-siiielit be removed fNM the officeof trustee of ,teveral. charities. ttrevhich he ha& been appointed, and that it might be referred to the Master ,to appoint some other and proper person instead of Mr. Phipps, or otherwise that Mr. Phipps might be ordered to sign a power of attorney, and unite with his co-trustees in all necessary and proper acts to enable the trustees to transfer - certain funds in the Three per Cent. CeMsols from the Bank of England, and that Mr. Phipps should pay the cost of the petition and order to be made thereon. This was the petition of two trustees to be dis embarrassed of their co-trustee—of a gentleman who, according to the different views which might be eutertainedof his conduct, either from obstinacy or firmness had persisted in refusing not only to act himself, but also to co•operate with the other trus tees, so as to enable them to act in such a manner as he had not the least difficulty in s tying, without intending any disre spect to Mr. Phipps personally, was most unjustifiable, because Mr. Phipps appeared to have taken the same view of his con duct himself by proposing at a certain period of their proceed ings to pay the costs, on condition of being allowed to continue in the trusteeship. His Honour would find certain obvious reasons why that proposal was not consented to, and the trustees considered they should not have done their duty to the public at large, or as trustees of these charities, if they had not brought the subject before the Court. They wished it to be understood that they did not bring it forward from any adverse feeling towar.ls this gentleman, but from a conviction that the line of conduct which he had thought it his duty to pursue, was such as rendered it impossible there could be any union between them in any actions that could be useful to the charities for which they were appointed trustees, and that therefore they were bound to bring the matter before the Court, in order that the Court might deal with it as it should think proper. At a meeting of the trustees held in 1838, a sum of money amounting to 1451. was paid by the Chamberlain of the Corporation to the trustees, and at the same meeting it was resolved that the same should he paid tip and invested in the Three per Cents., in the name of four trustees appointed for that purpose. He called biS Honour's attention to the circumstance that four trustees, and four otily,Wereappointed trustees of this stock. These were Mr, Phipps, Mr. Elliot, Mr. Dredge, and Mr. Bishop. In order to enable these gentlemen to receive the divi dends en the Stock, the usual power was signed by three of the parties, but Mr. Phipps refused to sign, without giving any reason for such refusal, and he had since constantly refused to do so. Another meeting was held in the month of De ' cember, 1832, when Mr. Phipps, having again refused to sign the power, and the trustees being consrquently un • able to pay certain moneys into the Bank of England, for the purposes of the charities, the matter was referred to Mr. Anstie, the Solicitor of the Trustees, who again applied to Mr. Phipps to sign the power, which he again refused, to do. Mr. Anstie then wrote a letter to Mr. Phipps, in his reply to which Mr. Phipps said that " had the Dissenters, in accord ance with their oft-repeated professions, abstained from inter fering with Church property, the enormous sums which have now been expended . would not have been incurred in prevent ing the income of the charities falling into the hands of the Dis setters. Mr . Austie wrote another letter on the sth of April, 1840, and another on the 9th Nov., again applying for Mr. Phipps's signature. He (Mr. K. Bruce) did not know whether Mr. Anstie belonged to the Church or the Dissenters, but at all events his letters were those of a gentleman and a Chris tian ; but these applications were also without success, the alle gations in the petition were all verified by affidavits. The peti tion was delayed until the 15th Dec., 1840, on which day it was presented. 'lt would have come on to be heard on the second day of the following Hilary 'Term, as an unopposed petition, but his Learned Friend, Mr. Wray, came and stated that there would be a compromise, and that it was therefore de sirable it should stand out of the paper, which proposition was accordingly assented to. This compromise, however, went off in consequence of the conduct of Mr. Phipps, from whose affi davit, without speaking disrespectfully of him, it appears that he was mistaken en several points, and the petitioners, therefore, thought themselves obliged to make other affidavits, which dis poeed, in a great degree, of statements made, no doubt, under excitement, and exhibiting, in a remarkable degree, Mr. Phipps's want of recollection. Mr. Phipps, in his affidavit, said that he was appointed Rector of De vizes in 1b:33. He (Mr. Knight Brute) had yet to learn what the misconduct of the Town Council had to do with the matter, and taking into consideration the long negotia tions to obtain his signature to the gentlemanly patience and forbearance manifested with respect to the polemical letter which he had referred to, —considering that this gentleman had had the opportunity of taking advice, and of considerin g his affi davits, the only conclusion he could come to was that Mr. Phipps, however valuable as a member of society, was not a person whose forte it was to act as a trustee. Under these cir cumstances, it appeared impossible not to come to the conclu sion that Mr. Phipps had committed a breach of trust, and had continued in this course of conduct up to the moment in which it was to be made the subject of investigation, when he pro posed to adopt a different course, and pay costs. Mr. Jacos followed on the same side. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the contents of some of the affidavits. That of the Rev. Richard Ellott, sworn the 11th of March, and filed the day following set forth that for 37 years he was minister of St. Mary's Chapel in the borough of De vizes; that he was one of the charity trustees, and acted as Ho norary Secretary to that body ; that they held their first meet ing on the 15th of February, 1837, and that he was present at that meeting. The deponent further stated that he had read Mr. Phipps's affidavit, and that it was not true, as stated by Mr. Phipps, that no account was ren dered by the Town Council until the 23d of. July, 1838, inasmuch as the Charities' trustees, prior to that, were furnished with copies of entries in the boas of the Toin-' council. The copies of the entries so furnished were in prise session of the trustees previous to July, 1838. The .deponent further set forth, that the trustees of the charity reeeited . miith interruption in the discharge of their duty from Mr. Phipps. The Learned Counsel proceeded to read extracts from the affi davit of Mr. George Evans, a schoolmaster residing for the last ten years in Devizes, and a trustee of the charity, and from the affidavits of several others of the trustees, which were to the same effect, and which he would not therefore trou ble the Court by reading at length. There was one circum stance to which, however, he would advert ; it was a complaint of a very odd nature indeed, which was made by Mr. Phipps. The trustees had found it necessary to apply to Counsel for advice as to what course they ought to pursue to compel Mr. Phipps to do his duty, and Mr. Phipps now complained that the solicitor for the trustees would not inform him of the nature of the proceedings about to be established against him. Such were the erroneous views entertained by that gentleman of the manner in which business ought to be conducted. For very nearly two years the receipt of the payments of the stock was stopped through Mr. Phipps's means, without any reason being assigned by that gentleman fur such stoppage. Because the Lord Chancellor had ordered .that one year's amount of the revenues of the charity should be applied to defray law expenses, Mr. Phipps had therefore thought fit to order that the succeeding years' revenue should be locked up in the Bank. Counsel, therefore, submitted that the Court ought to prevent the charity from being again exposed to the difficulties in which it had been placed by that gentleman ; that the stock ought not to' be continued standing in his (Mr. Phipps's) name, and that he ought not to be continued one of the trustees. Counsel therefore hoped that the Court would make the order prayed for. Mr. Cor.eitince followed on the same side. His Honour would not forget the part:of Mr. Phipps's letters addressed to 'Mr. Anstie, the solicitor for the petitioners, in which he ac cuses the Dissenters of interfering with the Church Charities ; but how does he maintain this charge in his affidavits ; By alto gether abstaining from the repetition of it—by giving it up altoge ther. He would observe that throughout the whole of the affida vit of Mr. Phipps there was not the slightest imp , ation upon the character of his co-trustees. There were fifteen trustees; of these there were only five Dissenters, the remainder being members of the Established Church, and therefore any step they might take, which might be considered prejudicial to the interests of the charity, would be altogether futile, as they would be out-voted by the larger number who were of a dif ferent religious belief. The reasons assigned by Mr. Phipps for refusing to do his duty, were of the most ridiculous cha racter, and he would not again trouble the Court by re peating them. Whets Mr. Phipps was asked to execute the bond, instead of assigning any good and valid reasons it would appear from the affidavit of one of the trustees that so far back as Nov. 1839, when asked to assign his reasons for refusing to do so, he absolutely refused to give any. The affidavit of Jr.A Carter was to the same effect, and in fact throughout the whole os the affidavits the statements were the same, and with the ex ception of the extraordinary observation he made respecting the Dissenters, not one of them even heard him assign any reason for refusing to execute the power of attorney. The offer of Mr. Phipps to pay the costs was worth Lttle or nothing, be cause the offer was extremely vague and undefined. There was no party who could decide upon what the costs were,: nor was there any guarantee that he would pay the suns that was agreed upon. Under all the circumstances he trusted the Court would make the order as prayed for. Mr. Ricissasos (with whom was Mr. Wray) said he appeared on behalf of the Bev. Mr. Phipps against ..lie petition. Hie Learned Friend Mr. Wigram was introduced on behalf of two of the trustees who were anxious to oppose the petition ; and his Learned Friend Mr. James Parker appeared on behalf of four of the trustees who were willing to acquiesce in any order the Court might think proper to make. Of the other trustees he might observe, that two were dead, two were residing abroad, and one. Mr. San. ders, took no part in the matter one way or another. Too ap plication to the Court was, in reality, that the rector of the 1 parish might be discharged from being a trustee of these chari .. -, for alleged misconduc t which was attributed to him in the 0..... or that he might be r d la i i r n e , cte fr d om to th e e xe l c e u tt t e e r a w p h o i w eh er ha o d f petition, --ter that the dividends might be received. The on it was to remove Mr. who wrote ~.h e letter stating that . th P e h y ip s p aw s, attorney in o: is Lea , rn; object of the artifice..

Mr. RICHARDS —Mr. Phipps was willing .th do so if his Ho n our was of opinion that he ought. He ba, bee? Thisost improperly brought into a Court of Equity, hut he sc..:e'! Willingness to aet in such a way as the Court might ttnink prCptit to direct him. If the Court thought the money ought to be applied itt the way the petitioners had stated, still the Court had authority and jurisdiction under the circumstances to make such an order. Mt. Phipps was perfectly ready to acquiesce. He referred to fire provisions of Sir Samuel Homily's Act as regarded charities, and the question was whether, when the avowed object was as to what channels the ittiet should flow through, the Court could make an order upon petifion without any information being filed . His Learned Friend inki riot served the Attorney ' General with the petition, and it W at question for the Court Whether it would be fit and proper to deal with the funds in the way s uggested, in the absence of the Attorney-General. He would, hoWeret, again repeat, that if the Court thought the power of attorney should be executed Mr. Phipps would a. so. He would noW refer his Honour to the affidavit of Mr. John Bailey end thirty-six inhabitants of De vizes, who stated what their opinion was of the conduct of the rector, Mr. Phipps, and as to the course he had adopteci.in the management of the funds in question. The deponeFts stated that they bad heard with regret of the petition;7,that they were acquainted with the proceedings of the trustees of these charities, of whom the Rev. Mr: Philips was one, and they were convinced that lie .had used his utmost exertions to benefit the charity, and that he had not been Intl en , hot any 4 beeu - anxious to see them properly and judiciously managed. They personal objects or motives in the course he had , tak - en, ot Si ' stated that a, portion Of these funds were for repairs of the Church "and the benefit of - in-his capacity of Rector , was the distributor of the (produce person s connected therewith that. Mr Phipps, '-of - the trpst fuid,;_, arid , it ; was desirable for the benefit of the charity that lie should continue to act as such, and that his re i moval wb`tild be a Serious loss to the trust fund, and materially impair the confidence of the inha bitants a nd the public in thelnanagement of these funds. He hardly knew whether it would be necessary to trouble his - Honour with what had been alleged in the affidavits on the other side as to the dismissal of ,Mr.: Phipps from the trusteeship. He would remind his Honour that Mrl Phipps was appointed a trustee in 1836, when the report of the , Master. was confirmed by e stion, w the Lord Chancellor. The, question then, and the only q u whether subsequently to the period when tha t gentleman seas as appointed one of the trustees he had been g uilty of such con duct as would induce his Honour to come to the conclusion_ that he was not fit: . to continue in the trusteeship. Theotily objection that had been urged - against him was, that he had re. - fused to executo:i pro of attorneys Now, he submitted t? • EY.EXING iiEffo r i t niatihat there was a fair and reasonab le doubt exist in:intihe mind of Mr.-Phipps as to the disposal of these funds -, T ittrt v Aought that the manner in which it was intended to a : ppropriaid these rand; was not a legitimate one, or within the intent' and mcatilftly of the charity, then he had a right to with tett his hand and to y that he would first have the opin:on of the Court, where the rig :''s of the claimants to these charitable funds could be fairly urged ant: d 'Nell a tiOe4._ He would now call t l'se attention of the Court to :thettneeting of the 10th December, 1,1 19 , when )1r: Phipps the ec r i o de w d er up o o f n . b.:Lieftoorienheyege:tiel c t o : e de d rit having,been requested to sir that the trustees might be enabled to pay c e rt a in Sim s W „ :21e i were due to the several charities, and he having re f ess to do so, the trustees, being thus impeded i n . L ite dis charge of their duty, as they allegesiv - were' comrolled to apply to their solicitor, Mr. Anstie;_ but he contermC l , that where areasonable doubt existed in Mr. Phipps's mind as to the manner in which the money was to be applied, he was perfectly justified in not executing the power of attorney. He was anxious to avoid a public dtscussibn of a matter which, being connected with a public charity, was not the most sal - to be brought before the public. That, however, was repudiated, and the present petition was presented. The prin ciple on which the .Court was called upon to pronounce judgment was whether or no Mr.Phippshad acted in a di , honest manner, and whether his impropriety was of such anature as to amonnt to a breach of trust. The statement of the party on the other side was, that they had been obliged, from want ai funds, to refuse the accustomed allowance to the poor wore - , ..\•C at these almshouses, but he doubted whether Mr. Phipps, .A` would not have been open to more censure if he had, be act ceding- at once to the request of his co-trustees, placed in jeopardy the interests of the charity. He would now draw his Honour's attention to some statements in the affidavit of Mr. Phipps, to show the motives by whici: he had been actuated. He stated that although the ecutrol of the Town. Council ceased in August, 1836, yet no acconatt was rendered for a considerable time afterwards, and the money was vested in the funds. That the money had been antici pated for nearly two years in consequence of the expenses of re-appointment of trustees. They were therefore obliged to refuse to grant the usual sums from these funds. That he was instrumental in preparing a statement of the funds, down to 1&38 when there were claims of the Charity remaining unli quidated. The Learned Counsel here referred to various items in the account so rendered, which in April, 1839 was laid. before a meeting of thetrustees and by them admitted to be cor rect. That the parish officers of each of the two parishes claimed a sum of 41. each annually instead of the interest of 100/. which they had been preViOusly paid. They then stated that they were recommended by a vestry to take legal proceedings, and a resolution was come to by the trustees to postpone the consi deration of the question till the next meeting, and that in the mean time the Rev. Mr. Elliott, one of the trustees, should confer with the Chamberlain, but no report of the conference had ever been made. The VICE CHANCELLOR inquired what was the value of the stock at present ? Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE said the value of the 2001. was some where between 3 and 4 per cent., and it was the difference between that and 4/. per annum that had induced Mr. Phipps to resort to the present proceedings and divide the town of Devizes. Mr. RICHARDS said Mr. Phipps had merely been actuated by a desire to discharge his duty conscientiously. The VICE-CHA2(CELLOR- 14 Ut while the matter remained in dispute respecting these two charities all the others remained Without any benefit whatever._ If he remains in the office of tru , tee I suppose he will have noobjtction to execute the power of attorney ? Mr. RlCHARDS—Certainly not, if your Honour thinks ,be ought•to do so. The Court would hoe ever recollect that that. order would be made on the application of two of the trustees , —the opinions of the others being divided in the way he had s.,a` mentioned. Now, with regard to costs he was satisfied that. ;,ion there was nothing in the conduct of Mr. Phipps that would. justify the Court in making an order for the payment of the costs. If his Honour was of opinion that the power of attorney 001 ff otiT ought to be executed Counsel would submit that Mr. Phipps e should not in that case be compelled to pay the costs. What ,vii he thought the Court could do was to order, if it so thought e nc ., fit, the power of attorney to be executed. but his Honour could , . not, he conceived, order' Mr. Phipps to pay the costs. '1 , 3' Mr. J. PARKER said he appeared for the trustees, and his It instructions were nut to oppose the prayer of the petition. Mr. WRAY appeared for Mr. Phipps, and went at consider able length into statements to show that that gentleman was justified in the course which was complained of on the other side in consequence of the unsettled state of matters, in,dispute between the Corporation of the borough of Devizes and the trus tees. The object of the petitioners was to remove Air. Phipps from the trust. If the case were to be Minutely examined into, it would be seen that the affidavit of Mr. Phipps was not , contradicted entirely by the statements set forth in, all the pe titioners' affidavits. The affidavit .of one petitioner contra- dieted one statement of that gentleman, and another affidavit con tradicted another statement, but all did not unite in showing that there were satisfactory grounds for removing that gentlemb from the trust on account of misconduct. He would submit that the Court ought not, under the circumstances, order Mr. Phipps's removal from the trust. There was no foundation for asking such an order, and he was sure the Court. would not make any order of the kind. Mr. WIGnAlf appeared for two of the trustees, and did not consider the affidavits of very great weight, as the Court should try the case against Mr. Phipps by its merits, and its merits alone. With respect to any justifica tion of the conduct of Mr. Phipps, he would give no opinion, directly or indirectly. However, he should say that if the Court was to decide on the removal of that gentleman from the trust under the present circumstances—if the Court was to decide that this case furnished materials for such a de cision, the result would be, that no respectable persons would. have anything to do with charities. The Learned Counsel's clients were most anxious that the Court would not take such a course, the effect of which, in a small community , and in a , e , ' community, too, in which Mr. Phipps held the , respectable pa- . s ';ir sition that he did, would be greatly to be regretted as convey-- ing a great censure on his conduct. In other parts pf the question he would not - interfere ; his clients wished simply, to iaH meat an oppressive attempt to remove Mr. Phipps from the eeni . b trust. They were desirous of an amicable arrangement bCing, come to by all partiet, and that his Honour would mot woke ~e , ,1 7 r any order, the effect of which would tend to injure the chaektii, e,dJ 1a for which alone they were concerned. r bed no of m Mr. K. Ratans replied. He was astonished to hear e ltirete,„; s ei vanced by counsel that the Court ought to be influencedepoies e , 4 decision by what might or might not be said or thought on the question out of Court. Mr. Me eaer—Did not put the argument in that Way. Mr. K. Reuel: understood it so, and nothing but the ;...earned Counsel's denial of his intending' o advance what he (Mir ) understood him to sac, would make him believe that such e• - as not his intention. It was for the Court to decide with justice' between man and marl, and not to be influenced in its decisions' by what might or might not be said in the lanes and alleys of Devizes. 'lee Learned Counsel went on at some length tor argue that the conduct of Mr. Phipps was such, that his views on matters of business were so extraordinary and erroneous, that he was not fit to be continued one of the trustees. He (Mr. K. Bruce) did not object to Mr. Phipps that a cler gyman of the Church of England preferred his own religion to that of all Dissenters. God forbid that he should do so ; but why should Mr. Phipps saddle the Dissenters v. Rh with holding the money with which they had nothing to do Such conduct reminded him of the line in the " Rejected Addresses," in which, after an obnoxious individual had been accused of all sorts of crimes it was inquired— " Who fills the butcher's shops with large blue flies?" But when Mr. Phipps was informed that the objects of cha rity were in distress, that they were obliged to apply to the Guardians for relief— when he ard and kne w this of those whom it was his duty to protect, it did not in duce him to depart one jot from the line of duty which it was to be supposed he had laid down fur himself, but contented him self by saying, " Well, let it:be so—it is the Dissenters have done it." He (Mr. K. Bruce) said that a gentleman who ~ took such a peculiar view of his duty was not fit to be con tinued a trustee. This went on for more than a year, during; which Mr. Phipps was able 'to resort to legal advice, but though none of these considerations are able to affect him, no sooner was some degree of spirit exhibited by those he was op posing than he knocked under directly, and offered to pay the costs. I t really seemed to him (Mr. K. Bruce) the worst part of the whole case, though his Learned Friend had insisted upon it as a merit in his client; but it appeared to him to make the case a thousand times werse. He trusted it would appear to his Honour that this gentleman ought not to be continued as one of ;the trustees, and that lie was incapaci tated to act. He did not charge him with any corruption or malversation.- He would say that he had acted under a.sense of what he believed to be right, but he thought that, becoming their irritated t a ted original perhaps t.f'eel'ing by li n opposition, wi t eh tecnoi agreed graduallycieeadshhiteoahndahttaodttilheeeym embarked a r l k o e s d t sightth this sequence, which otherwise he would net ha3voeruedgsehonntten.pott‘t matter, and suitiumed those oblique views and positions in cote sequence, which thea to who h h e ad q g u i i v t visited, upon the charity ; and he therefore rayed his Hon: It was absurd in Mr. Phipps to suppose that the !) Court was wanted with respect to the direction of the Courtdisposition of the fund. The only questionyee, should this income be prevented coming to; the trustees at all for the purpose' of twine dealt with as they Or the majority - of - them should think ° and the ulte rior question was whether Mr. Phi proper,unt e h to be continued as a trustee of this . stock, and whether PPso- the charities would not be better administered if the body of the trustees aid not , ' , cemprise that gentleman. He therefore prayed his Honour not t oburden the charity with the costs of he peti tion, but to impose it upon the party whose conduct had urea skirled it. The VICE-Creeetaero.ont said he had to decide upon a point of form, and not, On matters that were iticideetally made the subject of discussion. In the first place, nothing that he could say 'with'respeet to the obligation of the Corporation to pay the 'money o tould in point 'of law have the lead effect on the.

The sole questions before him •- whether in respect of what Mr. Phipps had done, Me. Plin e e... ought no be removed from the office of trustee, and 'the ques tions of costs. Now, when the order was coma-meth by the Lord Chancellor in December, 184 which appointed, Mr- Phipps and the other gentlemen trustees, he was bound to it appeared t consider that as a perfectly right order, and that Mr. Pes pi s s was thereby appointed. And then the question was, ha,eneg been duly appointed, Whether since that time there had been d i et elegree of improper conduct, which had d ich would make 'it' right' 4wuld be removed; Sjet ihai. the truStCes that 1-I'ldid ande an A ir ' Phi pp s :'''''rt-linlet-hiinSelfconceer i r v ol e ie h o o u l : view of the sub possibly think it rig.- es ; neatipn, should be made Of the funds of the true,, e.. although in hand, merely that ne: a , „e• • Mr: s PhiPtis could because ject, and he it co m m i i g . h:t turn ought to have received more than they 'l;stcl received. It seemed to. him, as he collected it,, ; that, ,Phip f s had his mind biased' by the supposition, that if an actual'applieticiii 'Of the dividends was made, it might have the effect cif prejuilidog suc h a case as the trustees might be able,thereaftereo make. He could conceive that, to some extent; in the long 'ciiiirse Of year' s such acceptances might be coneidered as something 'of weight, but ,r• at the same time he could not think that any thing like a just` and reasonable view was taken of the'sebject. It appeared ex traordinary that Mr. Phipps, as a trustee, did not feel that he • t Was committing direct and immediate injury on those intended ; fo be benefited by the charity, on the mere speculation thee._ something might be recovered thereafter, and might be paid to future objects of charity, which was a very whimsical,:i view. still he thought Mr. Phipps had all, along stated his views in which, unfortunately, lie and his CP-trustees cellist not agree. Now he did not think there bed been such a degree of misconduct as would make it right to remove this gentleman from Isis office as trustee. His. evele point, and he thought it would be too Was an error on a ,s , - e thathecause this view was taken, absurd as harsh a measure/ • • seemed .to him (the Vice-Chancellor), he conteeSe , , should he' •removed. He understood Mr. Phipps was willing te a power of attorney, and he did not understand to execute that there would be any difficulty in acting on that power whet executed. It seemed to him, therefore, that an order should be made that Mr. Phipps should execute the power of a ttorney, but that he , should not make an order to discharge him from his trusteeship. With respect to costs, it seemed to him that the view which Mr. Phipps bad taken individually, had been the cause of the whole dispute, and by reason of an objection which he made it was necessary that an applica tion should be'made to the Court, and it turned out that the ob jection was one. Which could be sustained as reasonable, he could not, help thinking ;that 'the costs almost necessarily fell upon him whO made Alie unreasonable 'objection.
