T y,te, ffinl 4 LONDON: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1841. On Monday the Times published three pieces of official information Which neither of its Con servative Contemporaries posSessed, and it placed them as its first leader. The public immediately said, the Times has assumed the livery of the Torie.T;, and these are its first vails. To connect it with the Minigters now of great importance, and we remind the publii:• . pf its appearance in livery on Monday, to show that it is now the ser vant of the Ministry'. • It has lost, been the policy of Sir H. PEEL to represent the national distress as trifling and temporary. For this purpose he made use of arbled extracts relative to the Manchester Infir ry, and chuckled as he referred to the silly esentations of Mr. Sub-Commissioner MOTT about Bolton. To succeed with the House of Connilons, if not with the country, he is busily einpl o y e d, we have lately been told, preparin.g statistics to elucidate his views, or dressing- a case fOr the House on the opening of Parliament. Acting in conformity to the wishe s of the Ritl,Att Hun. Baronet, if not in obi die.n ce to.iiisprders, the Titres yes tiutde an. atteiript to burlesque the suf ferings of the starvine pentle. " Talk," i; Said, ," o r pZ i i s l e y and Spitaldelds, indeed ! we pledge our honour that certain unobtrusive sufferers connected with the Whig- Radical prints are at this moment enduring an amount of wretchedness, compared with which' the misfortunes of the thread and silk commu nities are Paradise itself, Their ingenuity," it added, " has been industriously employed in fabricating a given quantity of distress in the towns of Sheffield and Birmingham." Thus the valet Times, which, for several years has been magnifying, day after day, the hardships and sufferings of a few indi. vidual paupers, losing no opportunity to set' every case of death from destitution which could be traced, however remotely, to the Poor-laws, in leaded type, and dilating on every mischance to a poor person as a great national calamity, now turns round, to serve its masters, and mocks at the sufferings of Paisley and Spitalfields, as if they were far surpassed by the personal and party disappointment of Newspaper Editors, which make no man sleep a: jot less sound, or take from him a single indulgence. What the people have to expect from the masters of this swaggerer is now plain. The schemes which Sir ROBERT PEEL required time to develope are palpable. He will make light of the miseries of the people ; he will as sert, with a face of brass, that the Corn-laws do no mischief ; and his newly-erected barracks at Derby, Ashton, Carlisle, Bury, &c. &c., will enable him, he thinks, to tell the people they must accept the alternative offered by the land lords of starving in peace, or suffer themselvesbe to quietly shippedoff for the plantations. With such a sordid faction master of the Government, and working for the most sordid purposes, with such supple tools for Ministers, and such scavengers in the press, ready, for a trifling reward, to do the dirtiest work, we can only pray that GOD will inspire the hearts of the people with such a love of justice and such a hatred of oppression— with such prudence, and yet with such a keen sense of indignity—with such strong personal feelings, and yet with so much patriotism, that they will be able to render vain the cunning schemes of the starvationists, and save the country from the immense calamities which await it from the possession of the Government by time landlords and the Tories. The announcement that Government means to promote emigration on a large scale, excites great interest in the manufacturing districts, where the intense sufferings of the people may probably make them snap at any bait. At the same time, the most influential Journals of the manufacturing districts, such as the Leeds Mer cury, strongly protest against sending our people to the antipodes to raise food; or, like the Manchester Guardian, only accept emigration as a means of carrying the people to food, be cause it has no hope that the landowners can now be compelled to allow food to come to the peo ple. Whatever relief emigration may give to those who go abroad, it is clear it will give none to those who remain at home. The void made in population by shipping off a few thousand families will soon be filled, and taking them away will not increase the food for the re mainder. Not one of the causes which now make food dear, employment scarce, and wages low—not one of the causes which now spread irksome and unhealthy restraints through every part of society, will be removed. The heavy hand of the landowners and the clergy will not be lightened, but rather made heavier, by emi gration, for there will be, in the first instance, fewer persons and fewer resources to bear the undiminished weight. We throw out these few words to keep the subject before our readers ; when we have less demands on our columns, we shall again advert to it. In the Courrier Francais—a moderate Oppo sition Paris Journal—we find the following ob servations on the Report of the Court of Peers, which we recommend to the careful perusal of the upper and middle classes in England : " Secret societies, such as they exist in France, are principally dangerous for the• classes which enlist in them. There is no fear of these societies overthrowing the Government or social order. The danger is lest they may demoralise, by penetrating further amongst them, the class which lives by the work of its hands. These secret societies isolate and corrupt the lower classes, au evil bad enough, without searching out for other imaginary ones. The operatives live by our sides, but not with us. They have their own habits, opinions, planes of meeting, their journals, their clubs, and even a language of their own, which we do not understand. If care be not taken, the lower classes, especially in great towns, will soon resemble a band of gypsies. This isolation of the operatives, which divides society into two camps— barbarism and civilization together—is it the fault of the operatives ? The lower classes began by being hostile to Government ; they have ended by being hostile to society. Fatal circumstances have, no °doubt, contributed to this. But the selfishness of the upper classes, and the negligence of Government, are also to be blamed. The French Revolution mingled and assimilated all classes. The lines of demarcation have again reap peared. If the poor detest the rich, and the ignorant the educated, it is that all sympathy has disappeared. France is perhaps the . country in which there is most disdain for social ameliorations. We have schools, and yet there are but 50,000 children in the asylum schools. Prisons and hospitals do not improve. The indigent and the prostitute have no asylum but crime, which opens for them a prison. There is no such thing as home for numbers of the operatives of Paris, who pass their time in the wine-shop, make it their domicile, and who end by conspiring there. The people are now without temples or fetes. There is nothing but labour to distract them from. bad habits and bad passions. If something be not done to amend this state of things, daily increasing de gradation must be the consequence." The personal 'experience of every man who goes abroad in the world of Lcndon must satisfy him that an almost similar state of things exists here. :True, there are no secret societies here, because our Government is too prudent to pre vent the people from giying utterance to their grievances; but in all other respects the simi larity is most striking. The operatives here, as well as in France, have their own habits, their own language, and their own literature. Between them and the classes above them there is no longer any sympathy. The middle classes op press them, and they reciprocate that oppression with an intense defiant hatred. The upper classes regard them as slaves, whose sufferings are only to be stinted by the limits of their en durance. Thus left to themselves, and to the had passions engendered by misery and despair, they form a hideous wen, which society endea vours to keep out of sight only by casting a veil over it. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have been duly received. France, it appears, has sent counter-orders to the troops which were to form a cordon sanitaire on the side of Belgium. This 'is in consequence of remonstrances ad dressed to the French Cabinet by the Belgian Ministry, supported, as it is believed, by a strong remonstrance on the part of England. From the amicable terms in which the French Ministerial Journals now speak of the Regency o_ ra fESPARTE RO , w e anticipate an early with d val. of the French troops now assembling on the Spanish f ront i er . ___. The Paris Gati,reeewh to the orTaesday takes up the question of the right of sea v t s h eals,v,. same ith way as s exercised by England over French 01,p suppression of the slave-trade in ee these journals attempt to - show that the treaty could have been carried into execution without the exer c ise of this right, nor will it admit that the Ne n ru l l illation of reciprocity takes away all the character of degradation from the Ti lt on this subject. journalist tr might, e l ° t " cl e u e e s s si rot oi. strike the th l e ' i r n e t n l e ia h t G ar ° 1 upon as good ground, complain that the ment had degraded itself by permitting the:glish Govern. whieb; according to them, does not shake re reciprocity-, ty, to which they resort. The Globe asks ::1; the th argument seize French vessels, and allow those of Illaned English In reply, it may be asked, " What proof is therettoh pass? English do any thing of the kind." The Globe says „ It the sacred principle - of maritime right, for which torrents of a . Frendh - blood have heed shed, t h at th e flag coverssthoef cargo; but under the pretext of putting down the slave trade, the Duke de Broglie, , when Minister of Foreign Affairs, signed a treaty which permits English cruisers to search our vessels on the African coast ; and, in pal liation of this piece of ' shaine, the Minister of Marine talks of the reciprocity granted by England, which is a derisory one, and of the existence of the same treaty, as regards Sweden, Denmark, 'and the Netherlands boar . We e sent a vessel on the coast of Africa, to take on d hundred negroes to recruit a black re g iment at Cayenne, and it was captured by an English cruiser, without doubt in virtue of the treaty of 1833. Why does Eng land seize our• vessels, and allow ' those of Holland to Pass, although Hblland, ''like - us, ;has conceded the right of search ? We have reason to believe that the King of Holland has bought a thousal blacks of the King of thaAshantees, who are destined to reinforce the Dutch garrisons of Java. A Dutch vessel, the .Brittania, of 1,400 tons, which left Rotterdam in October last, for the coast of Africa, in passing Reis: voetsluys, took on board fifty soldiers, to serve as a guard over the blacks who ,were to be embarked." We venture to prophecy that if the fact mentioned by:. the Globe, and which is taken from the Anti-Slattery' Reporter, be true, and the Brittania, with her slaves on board, should be fallen in with by an English cruiser,. the Globe will not have to complain that French slavers are seized whilst Thitch slavers are allowed to pass free. The ltioniteur, of the 23d, publishes in its official part a report of the Minister of Public Instruction, relative to primary schools, followed by a Royal Ordinance, direct ing the establishment of such schools in several towns, where they have been hitherto wanting, and which, hav ing a population of above 6,000 inhabitants, ought to have had them, according to the law of 28th June, 1833, but want of funds have prevented their establishment. Iteschid Pasha, the Ambassador of the Ottoman Porte, was yesterday visited by several members of the diplo matic body and great officers of the Court of France. Among the visitors were M. Guizot, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Many Prefects and Sub-Prefects are now at Paris, and more are arriving every day. " The general commerce of Belgium," says the Coup: rier Francais, " amounted in 1840 to 430,000,000 fr., being nearly one-fifth of that of France ; a fact remark able in a country, which reckons only one-tenth of our population. In the above aggregate, the imports stand for 246,000 fr., and the eXports for 184,000,000 fr. The special commerce of Belgium, that arises from its own produce and consumption, was 346,000,000 fr., of which 206,000,000 fr. were imports, and 140,000,000 fr. exports. There remains . consequently to the account of transit and re-exportation 84,000,000 fr., or about nineteen per cent. of the total commerce. In France, whose geo graphical position is more advantageous than that( of Belgium for European transits, this branch represents 30 per cent. of the total. In France, however, the tran sit trade has rather diminished, while in Belgium it has increased three-fold since that country commenced the use of railroads six yearS ago. Of the imports of Bel gium at least three-fifths are brought by sea, but of its exports two-thirds are sent by land. Of the 183,000,000 fr. worth of merchandise exported by Belgium in 1840, France received 83,000,000 francs, or nearly one-halt; while the exports from France to Belgium, in the same year, amounted to only 52,000,0001 r. of which 45,000 000 fr. were for her own produce. This is only a twentieth part of her general exportations." The Journal de Rouen publishes a long report, signed by the masters of several French vessels, containing an account of an alleged outrage upon the French flag at Algesiras. It appears from the report that the Essai, of Trepot, having accidentally run against a Spanish brig which was being towed out of port by a steamer, but without causing any damage, the master of the Spa nish brig demanded two ounces of gold as an indemnity for his loss of time, and, this being refused by the master of the French vessel, the Spaniard went on shore and made his complaint. Four days afterwards M.Boujonnier, the master of the French brig, received a letter from the Vice-Consul at Algesiras, stating that he had to pay 50 dollars to settle the affair, to which M. Boujonnier replied that he had not so much money on board, and gave the names of his owners, to whom he said applica tion should be made. On the following day, wishing to 'change his anchorage, he got under weigh, on which the Spanish authorities, thinking he was about to leave without paying the sum which he was called upon . to pay, sent a force of thirty men, to take possession of the Essai, and twelve of them remained on board. The masters of the French vessels at Algesiras, adds the re port, endeavoured in vain to induce the French Vice- Consul to interfere in favour of M. Boujonnier, and the S - -a -u 14 .„ C E art ASD Vitbitt Oiniat " Who ians7may read." FOREIGN. The right of search, which the principal European' Powers have mutually conceded to ships employed in the' suppression of the slave-trade, is again denounced in the Paris Globe of Tuesday. That Journal will have it that ,. the French flag is dishonoured by permitting an English; officer to overhaul it, even when it covers a slaver. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the French gave a distinguished reception on Monday to the Mar quis and Marchioness of Clanricarde on their return from St. Petersburgh. The Presse denies the right of the King of Holland to prevent the steamers of the German Commercial Union from navigating the Rhine. General Rodil has ordered all the fortresses in the Basques to be dismantled within fifteen days, except that of Pampeluna. The penalties of rebellion are at tached to a refusal to obey this order. The funeral of the late Queen Dowager of Bavaria took place on the 19th inst., and was followed by almost the whole population. By the, side of the King were his Majesty the King of Prussia, and by the side of the Crown Prince the Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse. The diplomatic body also followed in the procession. PU331.10 OPINION. The Morning Herald fires off a few penny pop-guns at the new rural police, and evidently thinks that it is pouring in a destructive cannonade against that institu tion :—" If it had been the object of the Government, observes our Contemporary, " to devise one scheme more hostile, more disgusting to the feelings,—the prejudices, it may be,—more abhorrent to the moral and physical tem perament of Englishin en than another,—it would certainly have paused, content, at the suggestion of a 'rural police. In every vicissitude of fortune,—under the fiercest ac cess of that salutary malady of grumbling, for which he is so notorious,—in his highest prosperity, or his lowest fall ;—successful abroad or desponding at home,--your Englishman is essentially a rural denizen throughout the world,—here or abroad. He loves the country. He endures towns. In the woodlands, the plains, the mountains, he carries with him that confidence, —be yond all price to him,—that he shall be undisturbed. His steps will not be watched. His passion for locomo • tion, natural on artificial, may be safely indulged."- -What a farrago bf words is here ! What lackadaisi cal sentimentality ! Does our Contemporary suppose that an Englishman cannot stroll in the fields, or along the high-roads, without a policeman dogging his every step? That he cannot scale a mountain without a policeman seal ing it immediately after him, to take him into custody, should he feel inclined to walk off with a loose rock or two ? That he cannot ramble by the side of a river without a policeman being on the watch, to see that he does not set it on fire, as Mr. Peter Borthwick is very likely to do with the Thames ? That the rural police may in some cases stretch duty to the extreme point of officiousness is likely enough ; and whenever this is the case, the nuisance should be abated ; but they are by no means so great a bugbear as the Herald would have us believe they are. In fact, the institution is the necessary consequence of the general establishment of beershops throughout the country, which, though they may have done some good, have done more harm. In an article on the subject of Chartism, the Times observes:—" The Chartists, though at present only can didates for electoral privileges, set public decency at de fiance. Only empower them to influence election pro ceedings and Parliamentary debates, as they now embroil and distract public meetings, and what sort of a country should we then be blessed to see? The power conferred on them would be an irresponsible power of the worst possible kind: because, judging from their behaviour as non-electors, they se 'm to be lost to every sense of decorum, and impervious to all the wholesome social influences which govern an orderly people. Some decent fellows have, indeed, been induced to join the Chartists, and by their influence some good has been effected ; but, really, the gene rality of them are rank incorrigible scoundrels."— This is a fair sample of the way in which the Tories treat their tools. They first flatter them ; get them into their meshes ; make them suit their own party pur poses ; and then, having no longer occasion for their services, cast them off, and denounce them as a set of scoundrels. If the Chartists' eyes are not now opened to the incorrigible baseness of Toryism, they deserve, indeed, all the reproaches that this powerful faction is now daily heaping on them. The Post says :—" We observe with deep regret—not unmingled with some indignation—the use which cer tain public journals are trying to make of the differences which exist in Oxford University as to the election of a new Professor of Poetry. The attempt which is made to fasten upon Dr. Pusey the imputation of desiring to force a Professor of Poetry upon the University, out of regard merely to the theological party to which the proposed Professor belongs, is in the last degree un just. It has no foundation in fact, and the endea vour to make a current prejudice subservient to the pro mulgation of this calumny shows a cunning depravity which we are ashamed to witness in those whose busi ness should be to guard the public from being misled."— There need be no squabbling or disputing about who is best fitted to be elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford. One Oxonian, provided at least he has not an atom of imagination, will do quite Its well as another, for the appointment is of no earthly benefit, except to the pos sessor. It lists never encouraged, and never will encou rage, a taste for poetry. No young man has ever been made a poet byattending the lectures of the Oxford Pro fessor, though many of them have thereby been imbued with such false principles of taste, as should lead them to despise the, genius of a writer like Burns. If Mr. Macculloch happened to be an Oxford man, we should strongly recommend him to the Professorship of Poetry, for he has quite as much fancy as the majority of these Professors ever had, and would lecture quite as know ingly on the subject, and almost with as little real sen sibility. Joseph flume, too, would make a most ortho dox Professor. The Chronicle thus alludes to some of the more re cent tergiversations of the Times—" When Sir Robert Peel came into office, there Were decided indications that he had not forgiven the Times for its recent assaults upon him. The Times had, therefore, the mortification of seeing itself placed on the second or third list of Mi..- nisterial papers--a mortification which it evinced by in termittent fits of uneasy querulousness and sulky silence. Latterly there have been signs that it has been taken into favour, and its grateful joy, like that of the spaniel's, has been sundry times evinced by fawning adulations and frisking impudence. Its zeal has, in different in stances, outrun its, discretion. It sneered, for instance, at the meeting for the relief of the distress in Paisley; but when it found that her Majesty, Sir Robert Peel, and others, were subscribers to the fund, it tried to make amends by eating up its words; and it sneered at the dis tress of the London compositors, and then tried to re move the impression, by publicly offering a situation to a solitary compositor, who had anointed it with honey and butter." Speaking on the subject of emigration, the Ayr Ob server says :—" Much has been said by . sickly philan thropists about -the hardship of expatriation—and, no doubt, where large bodies of people have been com pelled to leave their native land without any means of their own, and without the smallest provision for them in the country of their adoption, the circumstance is deeply to be deplored ; but in a kingdom so limited as Great Britain, it would neither be wise nor possible— even though there were ample employment and pro vision for them all—wholly to restrain the migratory dis position of the people." We quote the subjoined extract from the York Cou rant :—" On every hand do we hear of the abounding of distress ; and not only so, but of its rapid and alarming increase. It is not one particular branch of industry that is assailed—it is not the trade of one particular lo cality—but all seem liable to be involved in the widening and destructive circle. Tales of woe and suffering, that are almost too horrid for belief, are repeated from the West Riding of Yorkshire, whilst Lancashire awakens echo with the painful response. From Paisley to Spital fields, a cry of all but absolute famine prevails." • The _Dublin Evening Post observes, with reference to Lord De Grey's Irish policy Lord De Grey, this will not do. You are a great patron of the arts, but to such arts as are reqpired to befool a shrewd and consi derate people you seem to be an utter stranger. Either you are too honest, or else (which is more probable), you have too much of the Goosey Goderich in your com position to work out the policy of the crafty statesman who sent you here. If Peel thinks it necessary to go on with the humbug, he must recal your Excellency, and send over something of a more refined dissembler." The Worcester Chronicle alludes in the following terms to the present distress of the country :—" Sir Robert Peel was warned of the risk he would incur by disregarding the remonstrances of the people and pro roguing Parliament. He cannot complain that he has been taken by surprise. The state of things that has come upon us, and which promises, if it be not cor rected by prompt legislation, to sink England in the rank of nations to the level of a petty German or Italian State, has been foretold by a million and a ,half of voices.

A general order has at last been issued at Woolwich by the Master-General of the Ordnance, conveying his Spaniards who were left on board the Rssai having mo• mentarily quitted the vessel, M. Boujonnier hoisted his canvass and sailed away. The Nourelliste des Andres says,—" A lace school in our province, containing 300 scholars, has sold, during the year, produce from the hands of iese children to the amount of 72,000 f., so that each of them, has earned upon .an average 240 f., or 75 centimes a-day, although there are many very young apprentices among them. The or dinary gain of an expert lace-maker is a franc a. day. This manufactory is the principal resource of the poorer people of Bruges." The Bayonne papers mention the loss .of a vessel, with all hands on board, on Monday last. It was the Jenny, bound from Bayonne to Rouen. Five corpses have since been washed ashore, near Biarrits and St. Jean de Luz. A letter from the Havannah states that the local Go vernment has reduced the value of the pazeta (the quar ter dollar) to the fifth of a dollar, with the exception of the ancient Spanish and the Mexican pazeta, which will be current as heretofore. The present holders of the coin whose currency is reduced are to be indemnified by Treasury Bonds, for the payment of which, however, no period is fixed, . but they are to bear interest of six per cent., in the event of their payment being sanctioned by the Spanisk Government. To meet this burthen upon the Treasury an additional duty of one-half per cent. is to be laid on all exports and imports. The new duty is to commence for imports from the United States, on the Ist December next, and for imports from Europe on the Ist February, 1842. The Princess Helena Ghika died a short time since at Odessa, aged 73. " One day last week," says the Memorial of Rouen, " a boat with two men went to a brig near La Mailleraie to take out the pilot. As they were leaving the boat upset, owing to the agitation of the water, from the rapid rate at which the brig was going, and the three men were plunged into the water. Two were saved; but the pilot, an old solder of the empire, named Amand Poultier, and the near relation of M. Poultier of the Opera, who recently made his debut, was drowned." Baron de Bourquenay, French Minister Plenipoten tiary to the Court of Constantinople, left Paris yester day evening, and is accompanied by the Count de Gram mut and M.

The office of Second Secretary is filled by M. Gilbert de Voisin. The Augsburg Gazette, in noticing the last arrivals from Rio de Janeiro, and a discussion in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, in August last, on the commercial treaty entered into by Brazil with England, by which English merchandize was to be admitted for 15 years into the British Brazils on payment of a duty of 15 per cent., indulges in some strong remarks against England. It appears that by one of the clauses of the treaty it was to continue in force after the expiration of 15 years, un less either of the contracting parties should two years years previous to the expiration of the term agreed upon give notice of its intention to decline a renewal of it on the same terms. Our Contemporary states, that this no tice was given by the Brazilian Government in 1840, and that fresh propositions have been made by England, but merely with a view of perpetuating the advantages which it ' derives from the present treaty, and which, says this journal, are the sole cause of the unfavourable position of the Brazilian finances. "Of all the Govern ments of South America," adds the Augsburg Gazette, " that of Brazil is the only one which has faithfully kept its engagements with England, and the time has arrived when it has a right to expect the same conduct on the part of the English Government."

Mr. Baron Alderson took his seat this morning in this Court with the Lord Chancellor, for the purpose of giving judgment in the case of • RICKETTS V. LOFTUS. His LORDSHIP said that this case had been heard be fore him in the Equity Exchequer in July last. On that occasion he bad given his judgment on several points in the case; but he had reserved others, in order to avail himself of the valuable assistance of his Learned brother Mr. Baron Rolfe. Although at the time of re , serving judgment on some points of the case it was un derstood that the Equity Exchequer was to be abolished, and although that abolition had now taken place it was the opinion of his Learned Brother and himself, that it was competent for him to give judgment in the case in the manner he was now about to do. The two questions now for judgment were, first, whether the will of General Loftus contained such terms as constituted a valid execution of the power of appointment ; and, se condly, whether the power of appointment itself was valid. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case, stated, that it was the opinion of his learned brother, Mr. Baron Rolfe and himself, that ac cording to the law laid down in the case of Boyd and the Bishop of Peterborough, which had been followed iu several other cases. General Loftus was at liberty to ap point to Mrs. Ricketts a rent charge on the estates in question in the cause ; that the appointment that had been made was no illusory appointment; and that therefore both the appointment of the deed of 1804, and that contained in the will of General Loftus, were valid executions of the power contained in the marriage settle ment. The result therefore was, that the plaintiff had completely failed, and his bill must therefore be dis missed with costs. BLUNDELL V. GLADSTONE—BLUNDELL V. STONER— BLUNDELL V. BLUNDELL. The further hearing of the arguments in these part. heard appeals was ordered, upon the application of Mr, Tinney, to take place this day week, that being the firs) day on which his Lordship will sit after to-day. The Court, after disposing of some lunatic petitions, proceeded to hear motions. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) PAINE V. HYDE. The MASTER of the .RoLLs gave judgment in this case, which was heard yesterday. His Lordship said that it was not certain that Catherine Paine named in the tes tator's will would not have married and had children, in which case the legatees would not have taken. He thought the condition attached to the legatees for the payment within three years of the debts due from them to him at the time of his decease was a condition in which time was not essential. He was therefore of opinion that the petitioners were entitled to the legacies, and also to the costs of the petition. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) DUNCOMBE V. DAVIS. His HONOUR this morning allowed all the exceptions except the fifteenth. RAINIE V. CAINE& The further hearing of this part-heard cause was con tinued during a great part of the day. It is expected that his Honour will take time to consider his judgment, the documents in the cause being very numerous. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE WARDENS, &C.; OF THE SCRIVENERS' COMPANY. The Court T gave judgment in this case, which was a rule for a mandamus to admit the prosecutor, he having The return set ferth that the prosecutor had not served served the whole of his time, to the Scriveners' Company. his time in the terms of the 7th section of 41st Geo. 111., which were almost identical with those of the Bth section of the Act Geo. 11. On this averment issue was joined, and on the trial before Mr. Justice Manic, at York; t verdict was taken for the Crown, subject to the opinion of the Court upon the special case which had been agreed during the present term. It appeared that during & the last five years of his time, the prosecutor had served his master as an attorney, and the Company alleged that the services were of a nature which were incompatible with the provisions of the Act, when coupled with different services under the same master. The Court was of opinion that the present was clearly a question of fact, and if the master really carried on the business of a notary, and the prosecutor's services were bona fide given whenever the business required them, the qualification described in the Act had been obtained, such service not being incompatible with the prose cution of other studies. The Attorney-General had himself admitted that a party so serving his time, ' might be engaged in literary studies or give lessons in them, such studies being subordinate to the contract which he had entered into with his mas ter, and not interfering with it. If that were so, they could discover no reason why his services as an attorney should be considered incompatible, that service not im peding his contract ; and indeed such business inclining the mind to legal pursuits, might be said to be favour able to such a service. That j.idgruent did not clash with any of the authorities that had been cited in the course of the argument, and their judgment, therefore must be for the Crown. THE QUEEN V. THE EARL OE WALDEGRAVE AND CAPT. DUFF. The COURT gave judgment in this case, which was a rule to set aside a side bar rule, which had been obtained for giving costs to the Commissioners of Police, the pro secutors in an assault committed upon a constable of that force. The application was made under the pro visions of the sth William and Mary, cap. 11. sect. 3, which provided in express terms, that if a defendant pro secuted under a writ of certiorari, should be convicted under such writ, then the Court of Queen's Bench would grant such reasonable costs to the party prosecuting, if he be the party aggrievedor injured, or to any Justice of the Peace, or other public ci‘ : il officer, prosecuting on account of any fact committed, or that concerned him or them as such civil officers to prosebute or pre sent, as the Court should deem fit. The Commissioners of Police were constituted under a particular Act of Par liament for certain purposes therein set forth. Under the terms of that Act, it was difficult for the Court to feel any doubt that the Commissioners of Police were entitled to the costs of an indictment which they had preferred, fur an assault committed upon one of their subordinate officers, which had been removed by the defendant by certiorari, and under which a conviction had taken place. The Court was of opinion that the Commissioners clearly answered the description of civil officers, even if they had not been Justices of the - Peace. Under the plain words of the Act of Parliament there fore, the Court was of opinion that the Commissioners were entitled to the costs, and that the present rule must be discharged. In the cases of" Gardner v. M‘galion," and " Thomas v. Reece," the Court granted rules for new trials. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.- SUDDEN CLOSE OF TERN. The Court then went through the bar, which was by this time pretty full, beginning with the junior counsel and took a few motions of course. Several Counsel within the bar, on being called upon to move, excused themselves on the plea that they were waiting for some cf their Learned Brethren who were engaged in the other Courts. BuSiness being at a stand still for some minutes, Lord llExiltAN said they would be obliged to adjourn the Court if there was no business before it. The Judges could not remain sitting there and looking at the Counsel. After a delay of a few minutes, Lord DENMAN again inquired if any gentleman had any motion to make, and the same answer was again given by several of the Counsel, namely, that they were waiting for other gen tleman who were not present. Lord DENMAN said the Court felt that it had been very much trifled with, and then added in a peremptory tone, " Adjourn the Court—this term is at an end ! ' The Judges and the Bar immediately rose, the latter in a state of some excitement, and Mr. Kelly said he was about to make a motion, and hoped the Court woul' hear him. Lord DENMAN (who, with the other Judges, still re. mained standing) said if the Court was to be postponek for the convenience of gentlemen, it was time to put a stop to such a state of things. They owed it to them selves, and they owed it to the suitors whose interests were involved, to show to all parties concerned what the practice was. Mr. KELLY again addressed the Judges, and begged they would allow him to proceed. He regretted the ab sence of the gentlemen who had occasioned the present inconvenience. Lord PENMAN said the minds of the Judges were made up. The gentlemen who were present were those who, in his opinion, were in fault. The Judges then retired, and the Court remained for some minutes im a state of considerable excitement. There was a little angry recrimination among the solici tors and gentlemen of the Bar, here and there ; a good deal of loud talking, some laughter, and a few jokes ; after which the Court gradually emptied ; and thus ended. Michaelmas Term at eleven o'clock in the fore noon, instead of, as is generally the case, nine o'clock at night. THE FUNDS.

THE .QUEEN V. ROYLE. Mr. CRESSWELL and Mr. COWLING were heard this morning in support of the rule for setting aside the in quisition and extent which had been issued against the land and goods of the defendant. They contended that it was clear the inquisition was not legal, inasmuch as no evidence, in fact, had been laid before the Jury. In no other case could evidence upon affidavit be laid before a Jury. They contended further, that according to the Act, the Bth of Edward 1., the party against whom the proceedings were directed was to be summoned. H e had a right to be prespnt at the inquisition, and being present he had a right to cross-examine the witnesses,. which right would be abrogated if the evidence were taken by affidavit. It was no answer to the case to say that the practice had prevailed for seine time ; e duty of the illegal, which they contended it was , it was the the Court to set it aside. The S O LICITOR-GENERAL - replied, and The COURT said they were of opinion that the rule ought to be discharged. As the inquest taken under a Commission of that Court, in order to find if any , debt to the Crown existed, was ex parte, there was nn it analogous to a trial at nisi pills, and there n fo o r t eitgw in as . n voc et e n . ece rr s h sa e ry i - n t t l e i n at iio t n he of e t v h id e e L nc e e gis s l l a m tu u r k e l be vv:itsgtioveginve theviva Crown a more speedy ,means of recovering its debts, which would be taken away if th e rule were made abso lute..
