The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued before his Lordship some time since. His Lordship said that in this case the will ' had been filed by Richard'Lloyd against the personal re presentative of Martin Lloyd, who had obtained the as signment of a mortgage, and the object of the bill was to redeem that mortgage. The principal discussion on the question was with respect to a matter of fact as to whether the plaintiff had made out his title as heir-at law of Martin Lloyd. It was contended under the cir cumstances of the case that it was proper the de fendant should have - the power' of taking the opi nion of a jury in a Court of Law—that he should contest the question in a Court of Law. With re spect to the first question, the pedigree of the plaintiff, he claimed under Richard Lloyd, who mar ried Ann Lloyd at Chesterton. The ascending line from Martin Lloyd, appeared to his Lordship to he clearly established ; the only point with respect to that line was, whether Samuel Lloyd, the father of the in testate Samuel, the brother of William, was the son of William Lloyd of Chesterton. William Lloyd married Hannah Ingram, and it appeared to his Lordship, that there was sufficient evidence in the case to show that William and Samuel were the sons of Wil ham Lloyd, who married Hannah Ingram. If any thing were wanting to prove that, it was confirmed by the documents that had been brought forward in the case ; he therefore thought it was clear that the case had been made out in that respect, and that there was no necessity to resort to any of the evi dence which had occasioned so much controversy at the bar, such as the wills, and some of the written docu ments. With respect to the descending line that was more complicated ; his Lordship, after going at some considerable length into the evidence with respect to that line, stated his opinion clearly to be that both the as cending and descending lines were clearly proved by the documentary evidence that had been produced, and that there was no necessity - whatever to resort, as had been contended at the Bar, to the parole evidence. But, looking at the parole evidence, the case was strengthened, unless the witnesses had perjured thethselves. It had, however, been said, that evidence had been given which opposed the parole evidence ; the Court had carefully considered that evidence, and had come to a different result. On the whole, therefore, his Loidship was satis fied that the pedigree of the plaintiff had been clearly made put and established. But then it was said the defendant was entitled to contest the claim of the plaintiff at law. Now, who was the de fendant ? Why, he . was one of the personal representatives of the intestate, there was the mortgage outstanding, he knew of the claim of the present plain tiff, and knowing it he obtained an assignment of the mortgage. He said he did not do it to impede the claim, but he knew of the claim and he obtained an assign ment of the mortgage, which had the effect of impeding it. After he obtained the assignment, he gave notice to the tenants, who paid their rents to him because he had obtained possession of the mortgage. In his answer the defendant stated that he claimed the possession not as mort ' ganee, but as heir-apparent at law of the intest a te ; b u t he had given no evidence of the truth of that assertion. Such being the case,. his Lordship could only con sider him in the light of a mortgagee, and as such he could have no right to have a trial at law. In such a case as the present the Court would not be justified in granting such a trial before the decree had been pronounced for the redemption of the mortgage; the adoption of such a course would, in his Lordship's opinion, be a most improper exercise of the authority of the Court, and would show a bad discretion on the part of the Judge who presided in it, and in addition to that it would create great expense. Such being the opinion of the Court what would be the situation of the defen dant ? His right, if he was entitled to a trial at law, would not be bound by the Court decreeing the redemp tion of the mortgage; that was all it would decide in the present instance. The defendant by that decree would have his principal and interest repaid, and after that had been done, he would still be in a situation to contest the claim of the plaintiff. .The defendant might, if he had chosen, have had this question first decided at law, but the pedigree of the plaintiff having been established, this Court could not allow the defendant to have a trial at law before pronouncing a decree for the redemption of the mortgage. His Lordship must therefore pronounce that decree. The Coura, after disposing of a few unimportant lunatic petitions, proceeded with the further arguments on the part-heard appeals of Blundell v. Gladstone, Blundell v. Stoner, and Blundell v. Blundell, which occu pied his Lordship the remainder of the day. ViCE.CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the Vice-Chancellor of England.) SALISBURY V. MORRICE. His Hoxoun was occupied during the morning with the hearing the further arguments in this case, which has already been several days before the Court. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) MILLER V GOAN , . The arguments of Counsel in this case, which stood over from last week, to be spoke to on a question of law, to be referred to a Common Law Court, engaged his Honour the greater portion of the morning. His }loxoun referred the case (the facts of which have appeared in The Sun) to the Court of CommOn Pleas. BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-THE QUEEN V. THE STAF FORDSHIRE GAZETTE. Mr. Sergeant TALFOUBD moved fora rule calling upon the printer of the Staffirdshire Gazette, also upon a person named Stonyer, to show cause why Criminal in formation should not be filed against them, fbr the pub lication of a libel ; reflecting on the character of Mr. Parker, a magistrate, residing in Staffordshire. The libel alluded to consisted of a letter written to the Editor of that paper by Mr. Stonyer, imputing to Mr. Parker utter unfitness for the office of a magistrate, and stating the opinion of the writer that the Lord -Lieutenant must have been imposed upon when he inserted his name in the roll of Magistrates, and that he ought to be remov e d. The applicant had ma d e a ll the affidavits necessary to entitle him to his rule.—Rule nisi granted. MANDAMUS.—THE QUEEN V. TUE MAYOR OF SUDBURY. Mr. BY LES move for a rule for a mandamus, calling on the Mayor of Sudbury to place the names of two persons on the Burgess Roll of the Borough. It ap peared that the Mayor had rejected the claims of these persons on account of some informality in giving notice of claim. Now he (Mr. Ryles) con tended that all such informalities and misnomers were cured by the interpretation clause of the Act. —Rule granted. QUO WARRANTO.—TILE QUEEN V. GLUZE. Mr. 'V. LEE applied for a rule for a quo warranto, calling on the defendant to show by what right he claimed to exercise the office of Town Councillor of the borough of Bridgnorth. At the late ejection for Town Councillors for Bridgnorth several can didates were equal on the poll, and the ➢layor of Bridg north had, as returning-officer; given his casting-vote for the defendant, and he had, consequently, been returned. Now; it appeared that there had been two polling booths erected, and that some persons who had voted at booth No. 1, ought to have voted at booth No. 2, and, discover. ing such was the case, these persons had afterwards gone and voted again at booth No. 2, for the defendant, and that many persons had voted for property situated in one portion of Bridgnorth, whereas they appeared in the Burgess Roll as being qualified by other property than that stated in the voting paper.—Rule granted. IN THE MATTER OF THE ARBITRATION BETWEEN WELSH AND THE GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY COM- PANY. Mr. ADDISON moved for a rule to Thow cause why. the award should not be set aside in this case, on the ground that the arbitrators had exceeded their jurisdiction, by adjudicating upon matters that were not regularly before them, and also that they were too late in giving their award.—Rule granted. Having disposed of the above cases, Mr. Justice Patte son left the Court at ten o'clock, and shortly afterwards Mr. Justice Wightman took his seat upon the bench. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) WALKER V. NEEDHAM. This was an action brought against the defendant, a boatbuilder, to cornix-1 him to give up and restore to the plaintiff a boat detained by him without just cause. The ease was tried before the Sheriff of Middlesex, and the Jury found for the plaintiff. Mr. sergeant Channel] this term obtained a rule nisi fur a new trial, on the ground:4, first, that the writ to the Sheriff was improperly issued, as to the jurisdic tion of the Sheriffs Court extending only to actions of (!cht, whereas the present action was brought as one of detenue ;" secondly, that improper evidence was re ceived. The latter point was rested on the fact that a person named Roberts was admitted witness, and that the Jury fourri for the plaintiff in the cause of action, on his.evidence alone, whereas they found specially that he wa s partner with Walker in the boat." Air. Sergeant BoMPAS this day showed cause against the rule. The COURT were of opinion that the preponderance of former decisions was in favour of their Lordships' pre- Sent view, that the writ had been rightly issued. The Court had the power of issuing such writs to the Sheriffs to save time and expense in a case which seemed to in volve no question of law, and no intricate question of fact, and it was laid down by Lord Ccke and other au thorities that in cases analogous to the present an action might be laid, either as one of debt or of detenue. As to the objection that the evidence of Roberts was improperly received. It did not appear that the verdict •in the mate rial part was founded upon his testimony, and the ocidence, on the whole, was conflicting. Their Lord ships saw sufficient reason to disturb the verdict, and discharged tha rule. BRYLISH FIRE OFFICE. (T HIS DAY.) A general meeting of. the proprietors of this Society, pursuant to advertisemenst, was held this day, at the Office, 429, St ran d, f or t h e PIN: T ose of declaring a divi dend.

THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1841. FINE ARTS• IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN LITHOGRA PHY—RULLAWANDEL'S LITHO TINT IL LUSTRATIONS. A most valuable improvement has'been made in lithography, by a German artist, M. Hulls mandel, which requires only to be known, to be generally appreciated by all who take an inte rest in the progress of the Fine Arts. - Like most important improvements, it is extremely simple but simple as it is, it has baffled fora long series of years the ingenuity of the ablest lithographers in Europe, some of Whom pronounced it im possible, and the - majority, impracticabie At last, after twenty' yearS' sedulous devotion to. the subject, M. Hitilmandel‘ has obtained the desired results; ' and as his discovery is one likely to revolutionize the whole art of engraving, as at present carried on, we subjoin his own in terestingaccount of it :—" Ever since the infancy of lithography, hundreds of persons connected with the art, 'have endeavoured to produce im pressions from stone, executed with the brush, in the same manner as drawings are 'made with seppia or Indian-ink. It was natural enough that artists should make every effort to super sede the tedious and elaborate process by which alone a liquid could be rendered avail able for the purpose of drawing on stone ; all attempts, however, at producing variety of tints by using the ink thicker or thinner failed, the fainter lines either disappearing altogether, or printing as dark as the thick ones. In the efforts made to use ink as a wash, the result was still more disastrous, producing only one dirty mass of indistinctness, amid N which the original drawing was scarcely to be traced. I also, among hundreds of other artists," Hultman del goes - on to say, " for nearly twenty years, di rected iny attention to the brush style without success, until about a twelvemonth since, when the means suggested themselves to me of ob taining results which had been previously de clared impossible. The whole of the prints now submitted to inspection are executed with a brush on stone, in the - same manner as they would have been drawn on paper, with seppia, &c. Hence in these impresions all the raciness, the smartness, and the beauty of touch are apparent, hitherto only to be found in original drawings on paper, the natural consequence of a process which enables the artist to produce his ideas as they are conceived. These impressions are, in fact, all original drawings, and not the concep tions of men of talent, transmitted by the en graver. That no question may arise as to the possibility of multiplying, theta to almost anv extent, I may be permitted to add, that the present drawings had been printed to the extent of eight hundred, before these impressions were taken, without any perceptible deterioration."_ The importance of a discovery like this to the Fine Arts is incalculable, and we can imagine what magnificent 'worls would now exist in the collections of connoisseurs and amateurs, had Rubens, Titian, Vandyke, and other great mas ters of art, been provided with such means of ex tending and multiplying their productions. The extreme beauty of the tints are not among the least remarkable features in the discovery. Such lights and shades as it enables the artist to give ! Such fforce and richness, and rare picturesque effects ! How admirably would it not have suited. the purposes of a Rem brandt, with his deep, broad shadows; or of a Claude with his sunny, lustrous perspectives! We shall confidently inope to see the master pieces of Wilkie transfe; rred, by means of this in vention, to stone, for nothing can give a more vivid idea of his broad fbrcible colouring, and those exquisite touches of character tbr which he is so remarkable. Imagine copies of his " Chelsea Pensioners," " Blind Fiddlers," and "Pesiny Weddings," equal, or all but equal, in truth and vigour of effect, to the original paintings—circulated by thousands among the people, and ornamenting the humble dwellings of our English and Scottish labourers! Here will be a revolution worth looking forward to—A. quiet, social revolution, not brought about b 3 ► bloodshed or the strife of . contending fictions, but by the ennobling and beneficent powers of .genius, and whose imme diate effects will b 6,, to improve, refine, and elevate the habits of the humbler - classes of so ciety ! But it is time to give some notice of the various Plates that are now lying before us. Here is a sketch from a painting by Harding, which possesses, by means of the artful distribution of its tints, and the spirit with which they are laid on, as much breadth and force as :the original itself. The subject is a ruined castle, standing on a wooded eminence which forms the intermediate distance in the landscape; in tlne front ground is a bridge, over which some peasants are passing, and 'in the remote distance, blending their faint grey summits with the limizon, are billowy ranges of mountains. Nothing; can surpass the bold ness and vivacity of effect visible through out this sketch. Me rich foliage of the wooded heights is not stiff and formal, and wiry, as it is so al .t to be in engraving on steel and copper, nor sooty, as we often see it in the ordinary lithograt ihs; but waving, and rest less, as we find it in :nature, and varying in its shadows. Just betwe en the ground, in a level meadow at the base of the hill, and the lower branches of some m asisive full-foliaged oaks, a little pool of water is seen, glittering like a sheet of silver in the sunshine ; and the lig:st here thrown 1, is quite dazzling in its effect, and has not (Alen been surpassed even by oils. In another Ph tte we have a view of the interior of a ruined - .cathedral, with its broken, mildewed columns st reaving the ground, and the rays of an evening sun shining in through its Gothic windows, making desolation, if possible, still more desolate. 'acing the spectator is a solitary individual wit( i is busy digging a grave, and has just thrown u p a skull, on which the sun's rays directly fat I, giving a terrible reality to its ghastly whitertioss. The old man seems well placed in such a situation; for • he, too, is . a ruin, as we see by his wan, decrepid figure, and the relax ed energy of his features, in - Which extreme age and weakness are most effectually shadowed fisrth. A third Plate re presents a Forest G 1 atle—one of those hushed, umbrageous, sylvan sketches, which Wouver mans so loved to pailst. A fine vista is here visible through an opening in the wood, and the perspective is managed with th e utmost adroitness. la the foreground, a tumbling brooklet is seen making its way in fmai over small rocks and mounds of earth; but otherwise, all is stillness—perfect stillness—the repose od the grave without its gloom. la a fourth Plate, we !save a spirited sea sketch, whose freshness and nature will in stantly remind the spectator of Ruysdael and Vanderveldc. A brig is. scudding full sail before a brisk wind, while the risen waves are tossing her about, as if she were a mere cork on the wa ter. What a spirit of Rie an d animation breathes throughout this fine sketch The shifting clouds, here congregated in heavy masses, there broken up into light, detached fragments, with gitams of sunshine bursting through them, tell us that it is a bracing, autumnal day, and that the vessel is making her way safely and rejoicingly, despite th e mad waves that dash over her prow. Of a fay different character is the Plate representing a in sther watching by .the sick-bed of her child, whi ch is as full of quiet pathos, as the sea-piece is o f boisterous rejoicing. The room is lit only by a s ingle rush-light, arid the farthest corner of it is consequently in deep, black shadow. At th'e foot of the couch, near a table on which :.stand one or two physic bottles, is seated -the solitary figure of the mother, • whoSe faces :s turned from the spectator, but we can readily guess at its expression, when we glance at the features of the restless invalid, which seem worn down with pain and disease. The amsious parent evidently fears that the shadow of' th e Destroyin g Angeli s already failing upon her child, else wherefore that crouching figure, th at downcast bead, and that hand spread out, as if in the nanny of despair? We have mentioned some of those Plates that have most struck us by the skill and spirit of their execution, but all of them deserve notice, for they are dashed off with an ease and a creeds( an unknown, till now, to the lithographic art. Mr. Hullmandel will great celebrity by them; a n d most gain deservedlyso, f'or his discovery - will be the means of multiplying our intellectual e njoyments; and diffusing a taste for the Fine Ar,is, in their most sterling, unadulterated form, among il—t thousand s who hitherto have never devsated so much as a thought to the subject. When our leisure serves, perhaps take the opporttenity of' again '3le referring lia to tles e Plates. THE LATE LORD ELGIN. " Mokpr, sfyos scas zaflia." PLUTARCH, Pericl. ch. ThiS'N - obleman, to who m En g l an d i s i n debted for the most exquisite . collection of statues and antiquities that ever adorned a land—monuments of art,..which .Plutarch spoke of in the phrase above, "as transcendant for their grace and for their beauty,"---died at his residence` in Paris last Sunday. Hereafter the - Marbles which are called. by his name will be the best monument to his remembrance, and their history a lasting memorial to the boldness and perseverance which he displayed .on , the occasion of transferring. front a foreign soil, and from the •hands of illite rate and destructive MoSlemin, the noblest relics of Athens, after they had lain almost unnoticed, and corroded by the lapse of 2,500 years. Thomas Bruce,. K.G., late Earl of Elgin and Kincardine; and also. Baron Bruce of Kinloss and of Terry in the peerage of Scotland, was born on the 20th of July, in the year 1766. Hav ing entered the army, he rose through its seve ral gradeOill he arrived at the rank of Lieute nant-Gennral. His Lordship succeeded to the honours of his house on the demise of his bro ther in 1771. His Lordship's first marriage was with Mary, only child of William Hamilton Nisbet, Esq., of lairleton, inithe county of Haddington, on the 11th of March, 17.99, and by this lady he had issue George Charles Constantine Lord Bruce, M.P. for Southampton, now Earl of Elgin, and three daughters, two of whom are now married. This marriage, however, being dissolved by Act of Parliament in 1808 (the Countess wedding sub sequently Robert Ferguson, Esq., of Rahn), he married secondly, on the 21st of September, 1808, Elizabeth, youngest daughter of James Townsend Oswald, Esq., by whom lie has seven children—viz., four sons and three daughters. The second son, Robert, is a Lieutenant•Colosiel in the Grenadier Guards, and his first son' a Ba chelor of Arts. His Lordship, the sixth Earl of Elgin, eleventh Earl of Kincardine, and one of the representa tive Peers of Scotland, cl a i ms descent from no less illustrious root than the Royal House of Bruce, as is indicated by his name. The noble, but melancholy motto of the " Bruce of Ban nockburn" still blazes on his escutcheon, and its monosyllabic " Faimus" . points is the olden clays of glory. Among his more immediate ancestors is the Sir Geo. Bruce of Carnocks, who carried on his great commercial works at that place, and who petrified King James for an instant when he was displaying to him his extensive works. The coal which supplied his immense salt-works was wrought at a distance under the sea, and then shipped at a moat under the sea-mark. James VI. expressed a desire to visit these great coal-works, and was conducted through them to the moat, but his Majesty was filled, says the old historian, with dismay, on finding him self in the midst of the sea. He was conducted back, however, in a pinnace, and sumptuously entertained by Sir George at his own abbey •of Culross. For Edward Bruce also, one of King James's trustiest advisers, his Majesty enter tained such an affection as to dowry his daugh ter Christian with a marriage-portion of 10,000/. upon the auspicious occurrence of her union. The wife of William, the eighth Earl, whose maiden name was Janet Roberton, was noticed by Hamilton, of Bangour, amongst the first beauties of the time, and the Countess of Elgin, who died in 1810, filled, with great credit to herself; the im portant station of Governess to the Princess Charlotte. His Lordship had two seats, one of which was Archerfield House, and the other Broom Hall, both in the county of Fife. But the chaste and spirited sculptures which, from the hand of the immortal Phidias, adorned the Parthenon, and gratified the correct eye of Pericles and all Athens, form the most grand and noticeable feature of his Lordship's life, and to these which have given so great a celebrity to his name we at once proceed. Stepping forward at the critical moment, and rescuing these pre cious remains of art from the destroying hand of time, and from the more destroying hand of an uncivilized people, his Lordship bestowed a bene fit on the classical and artistic schools of Eng land, as well as 'spreading a taste for the Fine Arts over the kingdom at large, which will ever be held to his remembrance. The difficulties he had to undergo in that task, and the almost in superable obstructions which he overcame, will be seen in the ensuing account, which is that which generally was accustomed to fall verbatim from Lord Elgin's own lips : The history of these venerated marbles may be thus succinctly told. Lord Elgin, when he had just been appointed Ambassador to Con stantinople, met with the celebrated Harrison, of Chester, at Edinburgh, and inquiring of him how he could best make his residence near Greece conducive to the promotion of architec ture, sculpture, and other arts, he was advised by Harrison to have casts taken of the columns, sculpture, and architecture scattered through out Greece, and particularly concentrated at Athens, chiefly for the purpose of ascertaining the mode of " turning the volume," and having the real projection, with the real variety of light and shade, which must considerably surpass any drawing or draught. Mr. Harrison also advised Lord Elgin to take casts of whatever remains of monuments might still be hi existence. Pitt, Dundas, and Gren v ill e , w h en applied to by Lord Elgin to support hi s p ro j ect, s advance the publi c money for such an d under taking. Lord Elgin, howe ver , unassisted, sought out for the best English artists , the could lcdoeurlsd, de signers, &c., but fi n di ng that they were in full employ at home, and demanded an exorbitant price, lie, upon the advice of a friend, secured the assistance of six distinguished Italians, who were enthusiastic in the cause, and with them repaired to the East. Wi t h this view he engaged Signor Lusieri, a painter of reputation, who was then in the service of the King of the Two Sici lies, together with two architects, two mo dellers, and a figure painter. These six foreigners fixed themselves at Athens, in August, 1800, and prosecuted their enterprise with ardour. They were at first, however, greatly discouraged by the Turks, who at that period, namely, during the occupation of Egypt by the French, entertained an enmity against all Chris tians. The Turkish Government required from them as large a sum as five guineas fur one day's inspection of the architectural remains. How ever, when the English had conquered Egypt soon after, and then restored it generously to the Turks, the greatest popularit y was enjoyed by Lord Elgin's confederates. The original ob ject of Lord Elgin has been stated above; but when he observed the state of things—that the Turks were daily mutilating the statues, and using their heads for cannon-balls, and that European travellers were every day coming and breaking the statues into fragments, and Lking away portions—he altered his original plan, and determined upon transmitting to England, all the valuable monuments he could collect. Lord Elgin next obtained from the Turkish Govern ment a full license to examine, measure, and remove whatt ver he pleased of these antique monuments, and lie proceeded accordingly to put to work at least three hundred workmen. Several eminent persons had attempted this achievement, and had obtained similar faculties frcm the Porte, but they had uniformly failed. When Lord Elgin and his associates had sur mounted innumerable difficulties, and embarked their treasure, the vessel was accidentally driven upon a rock, and went down with all themarbles. However, recourse was had to Greek divers, by whose efforts they were all regained. Of the entire collection of the Parthenon marbles, it may not be unworthy of remark, that the only other piece of sculpture which was removed from its place for the purpose of ex port, was taken by M. Choiseul Gouffier, when he was Ambassador from France to the Porte. Lord Elgin's expenses in forming this collec tion were large and heavy, they amounted from 1799 toJan. 1802 to 62,4401., including • 23,240/. f or the interest of money, and according to a supple mental account, continued from 1 8 0 3 to 1816, hi s additional expenses amounted to no less a sum than 74,0001., including the same sum for interest. The valuations or money prices set upon them before they Were purchased by the Government for the British Museum, were widely different. Mr. Payne Knight estimated them at 25,000/., Mr. Hamilton at 60,8001., and the Earl of Aber .deen's .conjectural estimate of the whole, with out entering into particulars, was 35,000/. Th e Townley collection of marbles, which w ere i n excellent condition when bought by the British eputation, Museum, were purchased in 18 05 for- 20,000/. and the marbles at . Phigalia, in . Arcadia, were cultivatio n.r bought at 15,00 01 . From these compa r i sons some estimation of their actual worth m ay b e deduced. Fine A Considering rt s character, and dignity of every Government b y which th e y h ave been encouraged , and that the' maturing of the popular mind and its growth ha s ever how contributed hihly t he the .reputation, of the towards excellence is opened by the study of monuments of high art, our Administration did ro tut an service to their country by the pur chase of these inestimable models. Lord Elgin was in his 76th year. He w as , i n addition to his other titles and offices, a General of the Royal Archers of Scotland, a family trustee of the British Museum, and a member of the Privy Council. The Earl was at all times a generous patron ofliterature, science, and the arts. THE CHRISTIAN POWERS AND TURKEY. BERLIN, Nov. 6.—The result of the negotiations conthieiiced by Russia, in order to obtain for the Evan gelical Christians of the German nation the same ad vantages in the Turkish Empire, especially in Paleatino :and Syria, as are enjoyed by the Christians of the Latin and Greek ChuNlies, excite general interest. It is, in fact; so interesting an event, in modern history that it seems. desirable to pbvia te involuntary misunderstanding by a simple narrative of thOpccasion and object of the negotiation. The concord of the great Powers of Europe, to which the Turkish empire is indebted for its independence and the world for peace, offered an opportunity essentially to improve the situation of the German Evangelical Christians in the East. To profit by this opportunity iu a manner worthy of its political position, was considered by Prussia as a sacred duty, especially, because it might be foreseen, with much probability, that the great im pulse given to the commercial , intercourse between nations, would also increase the „connection of German Protestants in the East, and, perhaps, lead to the founda tion of settlements by themin those countries. Seen in a general point of view, it might perhaps have appeared deficient for the promotion of science, industry, and trade ; and also for the facilitating settle ments, if Prussia had only aimed at procuring for all its subjects independence, without difference of religion as far as they needed it, whether as travellers or as set tlers, that legal protection for their persons and pro perty which tke Hatti Scherif of Gulhane had promised; but, in the pursuance of these objects, it appeared in what a much more advantageous position the King was in respect to his Roman Catholic, than in respect to his Protestant subjects. These objects appeared to be closely connected with certain religious rites and privileges. The Latin and Greek Church in the East are distinct bodies, with common discipline and orders, founded on ancient treaties, and therefore enjoy in this capacity the benefit of being acknoWledged, which includes the most important political rights. The Greek Church en joys the protection of the Emperor of Russia, and the Latin Church that of the great Roman Catholic Powers. The Prussian Government needs only to join in the en deavours of the latter sufficiently to remove all obstacles that must still exist to the particular interests of its Ro man Catholic subjects. The Protestant Church, on the other hand, was destitute, up to the latest time, of all legal recognition. What State of the Continent could more naturally desire that, in the present 'state of the world, they also might enjoy similar corporate pri vileges than Prussia, which has among its subjects more than half of all the members of the Protestant Church in Germany? and ought not the Protestant Church, it:, a member of the Catholic Church of Christ, to possess the right of instructing its adherents in the science of the origin of Christianity, and freely to proclaim evangelical truth according to their confession and liturgy ? Under these circumstances the Prussian Government would not in duty be deterred by the difficulties of various kinds, which opposed the attainment of an object so intimately connected with the religious feelings of the nation. The question was, with a just appreciation of all the circumstances, to look fur the way which might most certainly lead to the proposed and partial negotia tions with the Porte, notwithstanding the very amicable relations between the two Governments offered no pro spect of real success. The Turkish Government does not yet feel the immediate connexion of Prussia with the East. The Porte knows Prussia only as a great European Power, by whose agreement with other great Powers its safety is guaranteed. The relations of Great Britain with the Porte are very different. England, by its naval power and its commerce, possesses great influ ence in the East. A union with England, whose Church, in its origin and doctrines, is closely allied to the Ger man Evangelical Church, appeared therefore to be the surest means of obtaining the important object. , The negtoiation to .be opened for this purpose de pended, however, on the previous question whether Great Britain was inclined to do justice to the inde pendence and national honour of the German Evange lical Church, and to treat this affair in perfect union with Prussia, on the fixed principle that Protestant Christen dom, under the protection of England and Prussia, should appear to the Turkish Government as one Power, and thus obtain from it all the advantages of being legally recognised. The steps which were taken to settle the previous question had the most satisfactory results. Not only did the British Government show itself ready with decided good will to enter into the subject on the basis proposed, but the heads of the English Church entered with warm interest into the proposal. All parties agreed in the opinion that the diversities of Christian worship, according to languages and nations, and accord ing to the peculiarities and historical develop ment of each nation, that is to say in the Protestant Church, is upheld by a superior Unity, the Head of the Church himself ; and that is this unity to which all the diversities refer, as in their centre lies the foundation of true Christian toleration. Besides this conviction, his Majesty the King too warmly participates in the reli gious sympathies of the nation, which are so intimately interwoven with the origin of the Augsburg Confession, and the recollection of the champions of the faith of the German Protestant Church, to have consented to any thing contrary to this firm common basis of the entire German Protestant Church. By a cordial co-operation, directed in this spirit, a distinct Bishopric has been founded in Jerusalem, in which all Protestant Christians may find a common support and point of union, in respect of the Turkish Government, and in all cases wh ere th e i r representation, as one Church, may be necessary; while at the same time the German Protestants preserve the independence of their' Church. With respect to their particular con fession and liturgy, his Majesty the King provides one half of the expense of the Bishopric, and he participates therefore with the crown of England in the right of nominating the Bishop. Thus the religious wants of the new Bishopric would be provided for ; butlisa.religious community cannot be blessed with prosperity,"e*tept in union with the instruc tion of youth, and the care of the sick, a still greater support is to be expected for this purpose from the pious interests and charity of the Protestant Christians in Prussia and other German countries. The foundation of an hospital is specially important, in which travellers, who will be more numerously attracted to Jerusalem by scientific inquiries, religious interest, or other objects may be received, in case they should need assistance. In reference to the above, the Minister of Ecclesias • ical Affairs has addressed two circulars to the Provin- cial Governments and to the Consistories, recapitulating the preceding statements, and informing them that it is his Majesty's pleasure that a general collection shall be made in all the Protestant Churches of the Prussian Monarchy. The sum collected to be seut to the Minister, M. Eichhorn. The Consistories are especially desired to take into consideration the important object to which the collec tion is to be applied, and as his Majesty has this object so much at heart, they are enjoined to impress it on the minds of their Protestant brethren.—Prussian State Gazette.

Loss OF LIFE ON THE THAMES.-Yester day afternoon (Tuesday) about three o'clock, the follow ing melancholy accident occurred in the river, close to Woolwich. It appears that W. Morris, of White Horse street, Stepney, with H. Jabez Partridge, both coalheavers, and who resided together in the same house, were em ployed by Mr. Pantsey to bring a barge of coals to Lime house, which they were doing, when Morris, who was assisting to scull the barge, let his hat fall into the water, Partridge caught hold of the hat with the scull, Morris attempted to reach it with his hand, in so doing he fell overboard, and almost instantly disappeared. EXETER, Nov. 23.—(From a Correspondent.) —The Protestant Association sent one of its hireling firebrands here yesterday to address the people on the enormous evils likely to result from the encroachments of Popery. The name of this gentleman is Mr. Lord— his calling is that of sz.barrister. I presume that he is not very successful in bagging briefs, so he has taken a brief for true' Protestantism—all in the way of trade. The meeting here took place at the Clarence Hotel, Captain Bingham, R.N., was called to the chair. A great number of the Working Men's Association were present, and the Protestants began to see very early in the even ing that they were not likely to have the most unanimous meeting. There were very few of the clergy present, and not one of the leading clergy or dignitary farmers. The lecturer proceeded in the usual strain of uncharit able vituperation of the Catholics. He was interrupted by incessant references to the intolerance of the Protes tant Church in imprisoning people for Church-rates, and seizing the goods of Quakers. Some of his most bitter denunciations against the Catholics were answered by " three cheers for the Rev. Mr. Oliver," the exemplary and benevolent priest of this city, three cheers for the Lord Mayor of Dublin, three groans for Bishop Phill potts, the Exeter Pope, &c. &c. The ladies were fright ened at these party cries, and took refuge on the plat form. A vote of thanks to the lecturer was met by a vote of censure, as an amendment, put by Mr. Besley ; and when the chairman called for the doxology before separation, some of the plebeians called for " G o d save the Queen," which the chairman consented to. The national antheM was then sung in a very orderly style, and the doxology was then afterwards sung with due solemnity, much more than from the previous tenor of the meetint, I had anticipated. The meeting was a failure, and it is doubted whether the Protestant Asso ciation will send another lecturer here.—The weather here is most inclement, rain and snow falling heavily, with a cold north wind. We have to add the loss of M. Theaulon, the well-known vaudevillist, to the list of recently-deceased dramatists. He was in his 54th year, and had, either alone or in copartnership, been the author of no less than 250 pieces. FATAL OCCURRENCE NEAR DIS- LEY, CHESHIRE. On Saturday last an inquest was held at the White Horse Inn, on the body of John Emery, aged 64, a schoolmaster of Disley. The Rev. Roger Kent, incumbent of. Disley, said : I was with the deceased, John Emery, in Stockport, on Thusday last. I went to the Court-house, and we afterwards met at the Warren Bulkeley Aims Inn. The deceased was a schoolmaster at Dis ley. We finished our business at perhaps a quar ter to three o'clock in the afternoon, and came to gether on the way home. We came along the road together to the top of Disley Wood, or Bowdler Brow, as it is sometimes called. It was then about six o'clock, and not quite dark. We could, perhaps, see about ten or a dozen yards before us. When we got to this place we heard the sound of wheels in the distance, upon hearing which the deceased said, " Mr. Kent, I feel ra ther tired; I have walked round by Marple to day, which has made the journey about twenty minutes longer than it would have been ; here is Jordan Bradbury's car coming up now; have you any objection to ride into Disley ? I said to him we would get in by all means, and while this conversation was going on the vehicle we first heard coining of course drew nearer. We had pre viously been walking in the middle of the road, but when the vehicle came up we separated. I went to the right-hand, and the deceased to the left. When the gig came up with us, I held up my hand for the driver to stop, believing it to be Jordan Bradbury's. Seeing that the person did not stop, however, I turned to follow it, when I beheld the deceased, John Emery, right in front of the gig, with both hands up, and a stiek in one of them. The person in the vehicle, how ever, did not stop, but dashed on, and the deceased was by this means thrown to the ground a little on one side to the right. It was all done in a mo ment, and all that I heard the deceased say after wards was, "Oh dear l" As soon as I saw that he had been knocked down I ran after the gig, and shouted to the driver, " Holloa, you Sir, do you see what you have done ?" But the per son drove on and increased his pace. Finding that I could not overtake the gig, nor make any impression on the driver, I ran back to where Emery was. He was lying on hisback in the mid dle of the road. I got hold of his coat collar, and called to him, but he did not answer. In fact, he was quite insensible, and I therefore endea voured to remove him, but could not. I then went to Mr. Worrali's ' the nearest house, to ob tain assistance. Th e deceased was brought in a coach to White Hase, in Disley, and me dical aid procured; but he survived the acci dent only ten minutes. Upon inquiry it appeared that the party in the gig was Mr. James Ingham, of the firm of Ingham and Gates, of the New Mills, and that he had driven on in the way described, being under the impression that witness and deceased were rob bers. When informed of the real circumstances of the case he was very much distressed. The Jury returned a verdict of " Homicide by mis adventure," with a deodand of one shilling on the shaft of the gig. Mr. Ingham announced that he would give the widow of deceased an annuity for life, the amount to be decided by two of the Jury. SHOCKING MURDER. KINNATTY, Nov. 16.--This town and neigh bourhood was thrown into a state of excitement on Sunday last, by the announcement of a most savage and brutal murder, which it was ascer tained, had recently been committed at the finger-post of the Rushy Glen, King's County, on the body of an unfortunate female named Catherine Carroll. At an early hour yes terday morning, Mr. Dillon, one of the County Coroners, arrived here on his way to the scene of this barbarous atrocity, to hold an inquiry into the melancholy circumstances of the case. The great mass of evidence adduced was of the strongest circumstan tial nature, and fixed the guilt on a person named John Gorman, of Moller, in the Queen's County, who was there amenable, and against whom a verdict was recorded, when the Coroner con signed him to the custody of the police, for transmission to Tullamore gaol, to abide his trial at the next Assizes. He is a diminutive, repulsive-looking man, having a wife and large family of children. It appeared the ill-fated female was far advanced in a state of pregnancy by the prisoner. During the night of the Satur day before, footsteps of the accused and the de ceased were traced from his residence to the scene of the murder in the glen. Here one of the gamekeepers of the Castle Bernard estates, immediately after daylight on Sun day morning, observed a quantity of blood, footprints, and other marks on the road at the cross, and from thence to the Rushy Glen Lough, in which he discovered the mu tilated body of the murdered female with large stones thrown on it to prevent its floating. This person described with clearness and pre cision the impression made by the right shoe of the individual, whose steps led to and from the lough, marking the size of the heel, the length of the sole, and the number of nails it contained. An active and intelligent policeman named Brennan, from the Cadamstown station, traced the footprints to, and about the resi dence of the accused, and ultimately suc ceeded in procuring the shoes, which were se creted in a neighbouring farm-house in the Queen's County, which were proved to belong to the prisoner, and which exactly corresponded with the description of the impressions made. In justice to this peaceable district, it will be observed that this sanguinary and diabolical murder is in no way connected with agrarian outrage.—Leinster Express. MURDER OF A. CHILD. An inquest was held yesterday, at the North London Hospital, before Mr. Wakley, on the body of Timothy Easted, aged one year and nine months, of No. 19, William-street, Regent's-park. Mr. Robert Denby, house surgeon of the hospital, said that on Sunday morn ing last deceased was brought to the hospital by its mother, and stated to have been injured on the head by some man. Deceased was perfectly insensible, and wit ness discovered a bruise on the right side of the head, extending downwards towards the cheek. There was then scarcely any pulsation, and in two hours the child died. Witness had since made a post mortem examina tion of the body, and found extensive fracture of the skull and other injury to the head. Those injuries were the cause of death, and the symptoms were ex hibited during life. Witness could not say by what means the injuries had been inflicted. Jane Easted, a laundress, said she was . mother of de ceased, and widow of his father, who was a soldier, belonging to the 15th, or Old King's Hussars. For the last three months witness had been living with a man named John Joseph Ward, and was shortly going to be married to him. On Saturday night last, at about ten o'clock, Ward brought home some meat for witness to cook. He told her to go for some beer, but, not wanting any, she said that she would rather not go. She, how ever, went, but before leaving the room begged of him not to ilf-use the baby. She said so because he had done so before ; and also that she would go down on her knees to him if he would not ill-treat deceased. The Coroner inquired if the man, charged before the Magis trates with causing deceased's death, was present, and was informed that he was not, but that Mr. Rawlinson, the com • 'pitting Magistrate, had that morning sent an order to the Governor of the New Prison, Clerkenwell, desiring him to permit the prisoner to attend the inquest. A policeman was then sent to the prison to ascertain the cause of the prisoner's absence from the inquest, and, upon his return, informed the Coroner that his order, as well as that of Mr. Rawlinson, was requisite before the prisoner could be allowed to leave the gaol. The inquest was then adjourned until eight o'clock in the evening. On the re-assembling of the Jury, the prisoner Ward was brought into the room between two turnkeys, and the evidence having been read over to him, an d some further testimony adduced, the Jury retu rne d a verdict of " Wilful Murder against him.

An old Scotch bookbinder, hearing an author ' spoken of in terms of high commendation, ex claimed, " Hoots ! Ony stupid body way write a book, and ony stupid body may Arent a book. but it takes a clever fallow indeed to bind,. book ! " Our townsman, John Dickenson,t I one of the " clever follows " that can bind a book; but he has a much higher appreciation than the old Scotchman had of the powers re quired to write a book, for he was one of the first to discover that John Critchely Prince was a poet of no mean order, and to his friendly zeal was owing in no slight degree the publica tion of productions so extraordinary, considering the education and circumstances of the writer. Burns owed the publication of the Kilmarnock edition of his poems to the farmers in the neigh bourhood, and used to point with pride to the name of one who had subscribed for twenty co pies, the only name hibrber on the list being that of the Countess of Eghnton, who subscribed for twenty-one copies. What the " Farmer in Co vington Mains" was to Burns, the " Bookbinder in Angel-court" seems to have been to Prince, and the Poet has thus gratefully and gracefully recorded his obligations : TO MY FRIEND JOHN DICKINSON. True-hearted Dickinson ! can I forget Thy warm, impetuous friendship, and how prone Thou wert to solace me when first we met, And I was coinless, hopeless, and unknown ? No ! for the generous feeling thou hast shown To me, an humble minstrel, in my need, My harp, with feeble but with faithful tone, Shall tell thee that I cherish every deed. Let me bear witness that thou hast, withal, Though rudely earnest, an inquiring mind, — Pity for human suffering and thrall, And love for things exalted and refined. May Heaven afford thee, to thy latest hour, The joy of doing good, and n e er deny the power ! A handsome and generous tribute was paid to the genius of Prince on Monday night by Mr. Vandenhoff, who expressed the delight he had experienced in perusing the volume which had accidentally fallen into his hands. While, with a voice " musical as Apollo's lute," the tragedian recited one of the finest passages, we observed John Dickenson drinking in the sounds with un disguisable rapture; and the poet, who was pre sent, must have felt similar emotions to those which Burns felt when some fine lyric of his, married to immortal tune, proceeded, in enchant ing strain, from the lips of beauty. DREADFUL EXPLOSION—FIF TEEN LIVES LOST. INQUEST ON THE BODlES.—Thomas Lee, Esq., Coro ner, held an inquest at the Public Office, Barnsley, on Tuesday afternoon, on the bodies of the following per sons, who came to their deaths at the Mount Osborne Colliery, on Monday, by an explosion of fire-damp, viz., James Pease, aged 22, Joseph Mitchell, aged 55, Edward, 13, Christopher, 22, and William Walton, 18, brothers, William Scholey, 24, Robert Walker, 29, John Ardron, 19, Charles Crow, 16, Charles Thompson, 10, John and Charles Deakin, 14, father and son, John M'Arthy, 24, Charles Hinchliff, jun., 14, Benjamin, 11, brothers. After the Jury had visited the bodies of the unfortu nate persons, amongst other, the following evidence was adduced:—Abram Deakin said, I am son to John Dea kin and brother to Charles Deakin. I was hurrying for my oldest brother ; Charles was hurrying for my father. My father, my eldest brother, Joseph Mitchell, and my self went down the pit at one time, and when we got to the bottom we went to our hole to work shortly after we got there. I was near Scholey's hole, when Mitchell, my father, and myself met, when my father asked Scholey to lend him his safety lamp, which Scholey did. When my father had tried our hole he returned the lamp to Scholey, there being no damp at that spot. Mitchell, who was bottom steward, had told Scholey not to work in that hole. I did not work there, bu; had gone with my fa ther for a wedge. I had heard Mitchell tell Scholey that he must not work in that part of the mine, as there was so much fire in it. Charles Bennet, a miner, spoke to hearing of tile acci dent, and going to examine and assist them, and helping to find and get the bodies out. He spoke to the excellent state of the mine, having an excellent ventilation. In fact, the whole of the evidence went to show that Scholey had incautiously gone into the place with a light, although he had been told by the steward not to go there at all, and had been put to work in another part of the mine, where he had worked on Saturday, but had borrowed tools for that day, and left his at the place where he caused the explosion by fetching them with a light. Verdict—" That the above-named persons came to their deaths by an explosion of fire-damp and its con sequent follower, choke, or after-damp." STATISTICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—A col meeting of the Fellows of this Society was held on Mon day week at their Rooms, 4, St. Martin's-place, when a long list of donations which bad been received during the recess were reported. An abstract of a paper on the Burman empire was read, by which it appears that the population of the empire, which was computed by the old geographers in former years at 30,000,000, was, in 1826, only 4,230,000. . , On Monday last three hundred and fifty men and fifty women of the parish of C a r r i gera , an d of the temperance body, assembled on the lands of Clonagh, near Newmarket-on-Fergus, and dug out and pitted a field of potatoes of seven acres, belongin ,, to Thomas O'Donohoe, Esq.

FonGin.ExcaisQuEa Buts.—ln the list published of the holders of spurious Exchequer bills, given in our paper yesterday, a trifling inaccuracy should be noticed. All seems to be right as regards the holders of the larger amounts to which they apply ; but, among those to whom the minor 'sums are attached, we find the name of Solomons, who is described as a broker, for 4,0001. It has been stated to us that no one of the name known as connected with the Money Market has had bills of this description in his possession, and there must be a mistake, therefore, in the description of the party. Rubini, as we learn from Madrid, has been elected a member of the Academy of that capital in the Section of Music, and has had a grand dinner given him by that body.
