FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Aug. 5.) BuFHA REs;T, J u tx 14 .—The p l ague appears t o . relax in ravages. In the last three days, only 10 persons have died of it. The contagion has mani festo, :t itself in 21 villages of the districts of Ilsow, riumbowitza, Wlaska, and Teliomany, most of them towards the frontiers of Austria. It has also appear in the Russian camp at Junteni. The .Russian authorities have taken energetic measures. The churches, and all the bazaars, with the exception of the shops of the butchers, liakers, and apothecaries, and some wine -houses, have been shut for a fort night, during which no trade is to be carried on. Some boyards of the first chits have been sent with military surgeons to the infected places, to have them purified. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) _ _ _ EGINA, JUNE 19.—George Mauromichali, son of the Prince of the Mainotes, A. Nako, and George IVlilaiti, who were all th ree f ormerly at the head of the Provisional Government, have been, to the general astonishment, arrested, as well as several Spezziots, by order of the President, and conveyed to Albani tika. The people are lost in conjectures on this subject, and the more so, as the individuals arrested belong to the party called English of . the Isles,' which, shice the arrival of Count Capo d'lstria, and especially since the Russian declaration of war, has never ceased to excite distrust against him. In the list of the pecuniary assistance granted to Greece by august persionages, we find a sum of 206,000 rubles in silver (800,000 francs), sent as a donation by her Majesty the Empress Dowager of Russia for the peor of Greece. The Emperor Ni cholas has advanced to the National Bank of Greece two millions of francs, at five per cent. interest. VIENNA, JULY 25. The Emperor and Empress of Austria will leave Baden in a few days to visit their domains in Upper Austria. Preparations for forming a camp at Traiskerchen have been com menced, and several divisions of the regiments which are to compose part of it are already arriving.— ..lugsbur,gh Gazette. (From the Moniteur, dated Aug.3.)—Non-official part. PARIS, AuG. 2 7 —Several journals have publi;,hed particulars relative to the expedition which is lire paring at Toulon. The troops, the artillery, subsis tence, the persons composing the boards of manage ment, the means of conveyance, number of ships of war,--nothing is forgotten, not even the place where it is to Find, which, however, cannot be determined till after information to be received. They hav€ even gone so far 'as to give a command to an officer who has long ceased to hold a rank in the French a - my. Every one has made his own calculations, and it might be feared that the enemy, duly informed o f the time of the departure, and of the strength of the expedition, would modify at his leisure all his plans for the campaign, if, in consequence of their very'number, these conjectures had not the advan tage of causing uncertainty. These various reports, spread for the purpose of gratifying an insatiable curiosity, do not appear to us to be proper for publicity, such as is justly claimed Ili a guarantee in a constitutional government. We know a neighbouring; government, where the public journals, whatever be the spirit that ani mates them, impose it on themselves at a law, to preserve strict silence with respect to foreign pro jects. It does not escape their sagacity that the most vague information may serve to give the alarm, and sometimes occasion obstacles. This prudent reserve is commanded by, a sincere loxe for the coun try. Let us hope that our journals will comprehend that there may be patriotism even in silence.* FRENCH FUNDS.-Five per Cents. 106 f. 20e. ; Three per Cents. 72f. 15:!. ; Bank Stock, 1882 f. ; Naples Stork, 76f. 25c. ; Haytian Loan, 623 f. 75c.

NORFOLK: AGRICULTURAL REPORT roll ,y, j ,y.—Most earnestly do 7 participat e w ith o ur agri cultural friends, in the anxieties and alarm which are na turally excited by this long continuation of w et weat h er.— 'i he summer season has been so forcing to veg e t at i on, that the cro p s o f corn o n the rich soils became so heavy as to yield to the late tempestuous storms, and are sn beaten down by the torrents, that the binds and other weeds are grow ing th roug h th em, HO as to prec l u de their receiving any be nefit.

These c i rc umstances have. greatly increased th e i r li a bilit y to injury from mildew, which has in many cases fallen so heavily on the wheat crops as to prevent their receiving any further support from tke root, and it i s now become necessary fur the farmers to avail themselves of every opportunity of reaping them whenever a sheaf can h e got sufficiently dry to bind it, or the grain will become of but little value. Notwithstand ing the perishable state of the above crop, we cannot admit that the crops generally in this county ate injured to the extent reported.

The French Papers of Monday, and the Gazette de France dated Tuesday, have been received. Their contents are more curious than important, if we except the arrest of some Greek Chiefs whu were formerly at the head of the Provisional Government. This circutnstance has excited general astonishment, as the party arrested belonged to what was called the English of the Isles, who, since the arrival of Count CAPO D'IsTRIA, have never ceased to excite distrust against him, more especially since the Russian declaration of war has been pub lished. It cannot be denied that the conduct of the PRESIDENT is open to great suspicion at the present moment. He appears to be not only in the confidence of NICHOLAS, but receives money from bim to carry on his plans, whether of regeneration or ambition, is not yet very manifest. Her Majesty the Empress Dowager of RUSSIA has also opened her purse in a very charitable spirit, and given 200,000 rubles in silver for the poor of Greece. We had before known that the Emperor NiciroLAs had lent two millions of francs to the National Bank at 5 per scut. interest. The Moniteur is angry at the freedom which the Paris Journals have taken in their comments upon the Expedition about to sail from Toulon. The reports which they spread too, respecting its equipment, and even he place where it is to land, are denounced as being, in their tendency, injurious to the inte rests of the public service, and only got up for the purpose of gratifying an insatiable curio sity. The Gazette de France takes advantage of this opportunity to rail against the Ministry for not having foreseen these inconveniences when it brought forward its law respecting the Jour nals. In short, it is sorry that the Censorship has been abolished. It says that the Journals are made to tell all that is passing, and to publish their conjectures on what they know. The close of the French Session is at hand. The Chamber of Deputies finished its labours on Saturday last. According to the Courier Fiancais, the ex. pedition td the IVlorea will not he purely mili tary; it will tend to the advantage of the Fine 'Arts, and of Science. A Committee of artistes and savans is to be attached to the staff as in the Egyptian expedition. They are to seek for the- monuments whidi have escaped the van of the Turks, and to excavate where ; • ever ,t4ey think it will be useful. All the materials which can he collected, will form the tay . of a great Work ; an idea which cannot be too much praised ; scientific conquests are the Only durable ones. What would now remain to Us of the brilliant campaigns against the Mame lukes and the Arabs—nothing, perhaps, but re gret., had We not raised an , indestructible monu ment of the gate of the arts in. ancient Egypt." It addS; that ihe,.second part of the Expedition :will be sent to the Morea in English ships from the Adriatic. ',hid appears very questionable unless our Go vernment are ready to go halves with France in the Mores,'- We repeat it, that the real objects of the French - tiPedition are not yet positively known ; events alone must develope them, and by that time our Government will be left in the lurch. A Frankfort Paper of the 31st ult. says, that the Allgemcine Zeilung, of the Bth July, con tains letters from Vienna and Bucharest, which announce that the Russians had sustained some reverses at Bazardjick ; but as the report is said to have been brought to Vienna, by a Courier who left the Russian head-quarters at Karassou on the Bth July, and we know that the head quarters left that place on the fith, and as we have an Official Bulletin from the Russian head quarters dated the I Ith, it is evident that the accounts given by the above letters arc not en titled to any credit, except as to the fact that. there had been a slight engagement with a corps, under HASSAN or HUSSEIN PACHA, but the importance and result of which were quite at' variance with the statement in the letters from Bucharest of the 13th.

His Excellency 31. Boreel Minister Plenipotentiary of Lis Majesty , "g id . the Netherlands, at Lisbon, accompanied by his l a"y, arrived !lure yesterday from Paris. We have mentioned the arrival of the ship Willi am / capture by a Buenos Ayres pri vateer, and brought back t; the Netherlands with the prize crew , by the skill and per„ . _ verance of Capt. Langbctec. The Directors of the Insurance Company called Seeutitas at Antwerp j us tly a pp rec i a ting the service which the Cap tain has rendered it, ye:iterday voted the sum of 2,615 florins (10 per cent. of the lose it would have sustained) one half to he given to the Captain and the other half to the crew, the Captain's son, and the cook. AUGUST 3. The cannonade said to have been heard in the North Sea , off Welbank, proceeded according to the report of some merchantmen from the Russian squadron, which is gone to the Mediterranean, and which performed some evoktions on the 24th July, on that part of the coast. It seems that his Royal Highness Prince Gustavus of , Sweden will remain in the service of Austria, notwith. standing the advantages promised him by the King of thl Netherlands, his future father-in-law. AUGUST 4. We think it our duty to warn Captains of ships going to France not to have any cigars on board. The Hojitung, Captain de Boer, of Ilaniburgh, having arrived at Bourdeaux was seized by the Custom-house officers, because it had 12,000 cigars concealed in the cabin and the hold, which, by the laws of• the country, is punished with the confiscation of the ship and cargo, and a flue of 550 francs. Capt. Boer got off by paying 3,050 francs. The Anton Hermann, Capt. Zander, of Lubeck, has also been seized at Bourdeaux for the same cause, and had to pay 7,550 francs. A French ship from Calcutta has paid on the same account a fine of 15,000 francs. AUGUST 5. We learn from Hamburgh that by a convention concluded between the King of the Netherlands and the King of Sweden and Norway, the men of war of the two Powets are reciprocally to protect the merchantmen of both na tions in the Mediterranean and Archipelago. On the 2d inst. the birth-day of Prince Alexander, second son of the Prince of Orange, was kept with great festivity. His Royal Highness, who is ten years of age, was on the following- day raised by his Majesty to the rank of Colonel, and also made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Belgic Lion. Letters from Gibraltar of the 17th ult. state that his Majesty's ship the Wellesley, of 74 guns, having on board Vice-Admiral Sir PUL. TENEY MALCOLM, who is going to replace Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON in the naval command in the Mediterranean, passed the Straits on the 13th. She did not come to anchor, but left despatches for the Governor. The commerce of Gibraltar was said to be daily on the decline. Accounts from Semlin, of the 20th of July, state that letters from Constantinople of the 9th announce that the PORTE had formally declared its acceptance of the Treaty of Loudon. A confirmation of this was anxiously looked for by the next Couriers. Whether the PORTE has accepted the Treaty of London or not, it is clear that circumstances alone will shortly compel a measure which might formerly have been done with, grace, but must now be done from necessity. A French Paper, received this morning, says that a great number of young Englishmen of distinguished families have requested to be allowed to serve under General MAISON as volunteers in the Expedition to the Morea.—We doubt it. It is stated that the French frigate Iphigenie, which is now under quarantine at Toulon, has brought accounts that IBRAHIM PACHA had agreed to evacuate the Morea ; but that a short tune Mier he signed the Convention he received a firman from the SULTAN, ceding to him the Pachalick of the Morea : however, he is said to have promised to fulfil his engagement. We do not believe a word of this, as a circumstance of such importance must have transpired unless, indeed, the French Government are un willing to lose their pretext for sending an expe dition to Greece. We direct the admirers of Lord STRANG FORD to an article from the Times of this morning, which will be found under the spirit of the Public Journals. For such a character we would not accept the em bassy to the Brazils. To the friends of liberty and liberal principles,, it must be very consolatory that the reviler of Mr. CANNING'S memory would hardly be believed ou his oath—certainly of en his honour, at ele Old Bailey ! But is Lordship is a Poet as well as a Poli- ticiau, and accordingly draws upon his fancy for the few facts which give a colour of verisi militude to his works. He is confessedly the best Irish translator of Portuguese that has lately appeared in Diplomatic affairs, and renders - the meaning of his author in a style the strongly reminds us of the celebrated Echo at the Lake of Killarney, which on tieing asked " how do you do ?" Replied, " very well, I thank you !" It was this hint which enabled his Lordship to write that very charac teristic piece, at the English Opera, entitled, He Lies like Truth. Extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated • 29th July : " Thirty sail of vessels have just been freighted by the French Government for the conveyance of troops, which are supposed to be destined to the Mores, and it is ex pected that an additional number of vessels will be taken up for the same object in the course of a few days."

ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-DERBY, AUG. 6. ELLIOTT V. FOUNDALL. This was an issue directed by the Court of Exchequer, to ascertain to whom an estate, formerly possessed by a Thomas Elliott, a brother of the plaintiff's, helonzed. Three witnesses, .a father, brother, and sister, related to the plaintiff, proved that on a particular day the plaintiff and Thomas Elliott came to their house, and that.the plaintiff paid to Thomas Elliott 4001. for the estate. That an agreement was drawn up, which we witnessed by the father and daughter,. (the brother being also present). In answer to a question put to the daughter, whether the agreement written by the plaintiff was written from a copy, she distinctly swore it was not; that she saw him write the agreement, and if he had been assisted by any paper, title must have seen it. The brother, on being asked the same question, as distinctly swore the plaintiff wasassisted by-a paper. That his - sister was present at the time it Walk written. This is one among many- contradictions which ccenrred in the course of their examination. On the part of the defendant, the tenant of the estate proved he had constantly paid rent to the defendant since the time he came to his farm, accompanied by Thomas ,Elliott (his then landlord), to take possession of the estate, which he did in the usual way, by digging a piece of land with a spade. Other witnesses were called, who contradicted the plain• tiff's witnesses in every fact thvy had sworn to. The Austrian Ambassador and Viscount STI:ANGFORD had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. The Neapolitan Minister transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign A ffai rs.

Mr. PHILLIAI9RE stated, that. this was the peti tion of John 'Forrester, the present committee of the lunatic, which prayed the Coiltirmation of the Mas ter's report, approving of Lord Holland and several other noblemen and gentlemen to be joint committee; this course had been rendered necessary by the lunatic having come into an immense property, in Consequence of the death of his father. Th`e petition was unopposed, and the order was made as a matter of course. IN TILE MATTER OF SIR JAMES cakwronn, A LUNATIC. Mr. PIIILLIMORE had likewise an unopposed pe tition in this case, praying for the confirmation .of the Master's report, approving of the sum of 20001. and upwards being allowed to Lady Crawford for the maintenance of the lunatic.—Order made. IN THE MATTER OF THE ACT FOU TILE REGULATION OF ATTORNIES AND SOLICITORS. Mr. SPENCE was i nstructet . to mention this case in which Mr. Rose had obtained an order yesterday, stiking a person of the name of Hallett off the Rolls of this Court. The Learned Counsel observed, that considering he had been already struck off the Rolls of the Court of King's Bench, he should have let this pass sub silentio, but for the circumstance that Mr. Hallett was a prisoner, and was unable at the time he was struck off the Rolls of the Court of King's Bench to employ any person, or to make any defence. His family had since put into his (Mr. Spence's) hands a full statement, which would be verified by affidavit, if it would in the least degree influence his Lordship's judgment. His Lonostursaid Mr. Mallet had been convicted of a conspiracy,. sentenced :to eighteen months' im prisonment, and struck off the Rolls of the King's Bench, it was impossible, therefore, the Court could do otherwise then it had done. Mr. SPENcE aserved the only material fact in troduced in the statements he had received was that Mr. Hallet was driven to the act by a series of per secutions on the part of the father of his partner. His LORDSHIP thought that might have been pressed in the Court of King's Bench as well as here. Considering what had been done in that Court, it was quite impossible for his Lordship to alter the decision he had pronounced yesterday. IN TILE MATTER OF LORD I.ORTBMOUTII. Mr.'PEPYS was instructed to state that the difficulty which existed to the drawing up of the order in this case had been removed, and requested the order might be made forthwith.----Ordered. His LORDSHIP observed, in the course of the morning-, that the lunatic petition in the matter of Mitchell was a most horrid case, likely to take some time in discussion, and was of a nature not fit to be heard in open Court. He would appoint some early day for its private hearing; but he thought it would be necessary that some medical men should be ap pointed to see the lunatic previous thereto. Mr. SUGDEN was afraid this would not be ac ceded to by the other side. His LORDSHIP would inform the parties on Mon day what day he would hear.it. - - - - - , VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INJUNCTION.-TILE OWNERS OF THE 'MODERATOR D. BhUTON AND OTHERS. Mr. WILBRAHAM said that he was instructed to move for a special injunction, under an Act of Par. liament not much known, to restrain an action at law. The Act in question was the 53d Geo. 3, cap. 159. It provided that owners of ships should not be liable to make good damages occasioned without their fault, to any other vessel, further than the value of the vessel, and the freight due, or to grow due for and during the voyage which may be in prosecution, or contracted for at the time of the happening of such loss or damage; and where the value of the ship and the freight shall not be deemed sufficient to compensate for the damage, the 7th Section of the Act provides, that upon payment of the value of the ship (as ascertained on'oath) and of the freight, into a Court of Equity, it shall be lawful for the persons liable to make satisfaction for the da mage, or any of them on behalf of all, to file a bill in a Court of Equity, against all persons who s h a ll have brought any action or suit for and against all other persons who shall claim to be entitled to asy recompense for the damage, in order to ascertain the amount of the value of the vessel, and of the loss occasioned by the accident or neglect, for the purpose of having it distributed rateably among the several claimants, in proportion to time injury which each may have sustained. The Act requires that the plaintiffs shall annex to their bill an affidavit, stating that they are not acting in collusion with any of 60 defendants, but for the purposes- of justice, and in order to avail themselves.. of the benefit of this Act. It appeared in the pre sent instance that the Moderator, of which vessel the plaintiffs are the owners, ran foul of the Bristol packet, as she was passing from a lock into the river Avon, at Bristol, owing to the improper conduct of the captain of the plaintiffs' vessel. The first application of the Learned Gentleman now,. was, that the plaintiffs might be at liberty to pay into Court 3501. the value of the vessel, and 25/, the amount of her freight, and that upon smelt pay ment the defendants might be enjoined from pro ceeding in an action at law commenced by them against the plaintiffs, on account of the before-men tioned accident. Mr. TINNEY appeared for the defendants Bruton, and did not object to the application, provided the injunction was granted without prejudice •to any question in the cause. One very material question was, whether the Act of Parliament applied at all to this case. The Act expressly declared that it did extend to inland navigation, and as in the present instance, the Bristol packet was about to proceed from Bristol to Newport (the course lyirig through the river Severn) it became a very material question whether the voyage could be considered a sea-voyage, or whether it came under the head of inland navi gation. The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the injunction to stay the action at law, without prejudice to any question in the cause, upon the plaintiffs (in equity) paying all the costs hitherto incurred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS D 1.Y.) BOW-STREET. CHARGE (F BIGAMY. --Sarah W,rrall, otherwise Sarah Haynes, a decent looking young wo►nan, wits charged with intermarrying with a man named Finn, her former husband Thomas Richard Haynes being alive. The charge was preferred at the instance of Finn's father. Mr. Harmer attended on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. HARMER complained that the prosecution arose from vindictive feelings, as the parties were all examined in March last, and the complaint dismissed for want of evidence. The CCltificates of registry being proved, the curate and pew-opener, who attended from St. John's, Bloomsbury, were unable to identify the parties, and Mr. Harmer sub mitted that the case must fall to the ground in consequence. Sir B. BIRNIE was of the same opinion, but informed the accusers they might still indict the young woman if they - thought proper. The father signifiel his intention of doing so, and Mr. Harmer declared the defendant was always ready to meet the charge. The latter was attended by her husband, bearing two line children. She appared very anxious to explain, but Mr. Harmer advised her to be quiet. TIIE WEATHER, HARVEST, &C.—While complaints of the destruction of the crops are quoted in the London Papers fr o m a lm ost ever y part of E ngland, w e may congratulate ourselves in this district of Gloucester shire, as being singularly fOrtunate in the auspicious ap pearance of the harvest. Notwithstanding the thunder storms have been frequent and heavy, they have been ex tremely partial, which Las enabled the farmers to gather in the .vhole of their hay, with the trifling inconvenience of additional expenne and delay. In some places the corn fields were devastated by violent storms of hail and rain, but generally speaking, the crops, which are now ready for the sickle, are abundant and of healthy appearance, with very little of the straw broken ; it is therefore hoped that the recent advance in corn and bread will soon subside to the old and regular prices of May and June.—Cheltenham Chronicle. LICENSING HOTELS IN THE CITY. GUILDHALL SESSIONS---(THIS DAY.) A Special sessions of the City of London was sum moned for this day, to take into consideration the applica tions for licensing diffe rent h ote l s i n the city under the new Act of Parliament. There was in consequence a very full attendance of Aldermen, and the Court was crowded with the applicants, and the licensed victuallers who came to oppose the applications. The first applicant was-Mr. Hillary, whose case had been on a former occasion partly gone into, and was' ad journed till this day. . Mr. 'Fuson, his solicitor, said lie was quite taken by surprise, as lie conceived he hail on a former occasion satis fied the two Magistrates, and if he was now called on anew to make out his case; he should protest in liniine against such a course. The Loan MAYOR said, it was trine from the former testimony on oath he had satisfied himself and Mr. Alder man Thorpe l but the license had not been signed ; and on further conversation among the Magistrates since that oc casion, it did appear that sonic further testimony slaroold .be adduced of these premises being really an hotel. For that purpose the case had been adjourned in order - :to view the premises, to ascertain if they should come within the meaning of the Act. Alderman t CHRITOPHER SMITH was of opinion that any two Magistrates might sign the license, and that if so signed, it would be within the meaning of the Act. Mr. 'FILSON stated that due notice had been Liven to Alderman Thompson, the Lord Mayor, and Alderman Thorpe, and if the other Magistrates had been near they would have been applied to. Alderman TnosirsoN explained the circumstances under which be had abstained from attending the meeting; thel Court of Aldermen had since considered the matter, and determined to re-consider the matter generally. Mr. TrLsoN protested against being called on to pro duce further testimony, and against a revision of the deri sion of two Magistrates. Mr. ADOLPHUS rose to address the Court. Mr. TILsoN wished to know for whom Mr. Adolphus appeared ? Mr. Anor.enus—On behalf of the Ward of Cheap. Mr. Tir.sotr—Thert you must appear on a petition. Mr. ADOLPHUS—That shall be shown in proper time. The objection of Mr. Tilson is a preliminary one'; and he contended that this, as well as any other Court, had the power of revising its own decisioni; Besides, protesting now was useless; the proper course of proceeding was by mandamm in the Court of King's Bench. The Lorin MAYOR again called on the applicant to pre— duce his further evidence. The Court of Aldermen, on hearing the fanner testimony read, had been of opinion that in some degree imposition had been practised on them, and it was on that account they decided for a revision. Mr. TILSON said, as they insisted on his producing ftir ther evidence, he should proceed. His client, Mr. Hil lary, had, previous to 1828, opened a coffee-house in the Poultry. He then proceeded to produce affidavits from several gentlemen in Somersetshire, Staffordshire, &c. in which the deponents stated, that in October, 1827, and thence afterwards to the time of the passing of this Act, they had used Mr. Hillary's house as an hotel, eating, drinking, and sleeping there, as in any other hotel, and, that they considered it as such in all respects. He then called witnesses. Mr. Samuel Borne, of Kennington, appeared and stated that he knew the hou'se kept by Mr. Hillary upwards of a twelvemonth ; be used it as a tavern and hotel, just as be would auy- other hotel—he did so previous to Jan. 1828, when he opened the house, he communicated to witness his intention of doing so as an hotel. It was a well con ducted proper house. A recommendation from the Rector of the Parish in favour of the house was put in. Mr. ADor.rilus cross-examined the witness—The word " Hotel" wai'not on the house in December last ; he knew that several individuals beside himself slept thee; be known nothing of any card clubs being held there. Alderman TrromesoN—He bad only slept at this hotel of a night when he dined in town—a charge was made for the sleeping room, he paid half•acrown a night--the first time was four or five months ago; be was so charged be fore the first of January, and ' paid then when the account was furnished. Alderman C. SMITH—It was charged to him h e fOre January, but not paid till then, as he had 'an account cur rent there. Alderman Triostr•sox-_Could not tell how many beds Mr. Hillary made up for his customers. Mr. TiLsow said, be did not contend to show that his client's was a large hotel, but only the commencement of one; the London Coffee-house, bad commenced in a simi lar manner. Mr. Lawson gave similar testiineny. • Several letters to Mr. Hillary were put in, - from his cus tomers in different parts of the country, certifying, on the part of the writers,, that they had used his premises in the poultry in November and December last, and declaring that they would use the house again. • • The recommendations from the rector; churchwardens, overseers, &e. of St. Mildred, in the Poultry, were herr read, certilj•ing the good character of Mr. Hillary it'd of his house. The list of names appended contained those of the most respectable persons in the parish. There was t furtherm g r t ec n o a zu re llnd si a g t n io i n d to by th up e w Co ar u d r s t . rate houses in London. . • :. of of l:.t d o er f in th en e Irtshe Mr. Aoat.ruus appeared in Support of,a petition from a number of individuals in the ward against the licence.-- lie read the preamble of the late Act, and read•the defini tion in. Todd's Johnsou.of an. hotel, and said the question was, whether front the teatimony•-of the witnesses examined tf t , 00l r hit house cdetlreuss hind e od o euen t r i w, l , d tel 14) 1 i3e ) si e wAg c r j o ue n t:t s s?e id n, j r , considered so, Wast a . h, s ees a le, n ei . htr h yoecsoeu l ffs , g,eh th t h a t that t e D a c t s t . i t he plateh e tlil word nesi e in the county would have recourse to this simple device. Again, there was no analogy between dealers in tea and in, spirituous liquors; and the Legislature; by subjecting ens to a more extensive police and excise contrail than the other, had shown a great difference. • Besides, could it he said that any coftee 7 house which afforded a night's lodging to a casual customer was to be considered es ao hotel? It was well known that nothing was snore easy than to get .up petitions; but he (Mr. Adolphus) had petition front several of those individuals, stating that they had signed the recommendation in favour of Mr. Hillary's premises from misinfOrinstion. He Was informed and be lieved that the sole purpose of this application was to con vert the premises into a common gin -shop. Harrison, the ward beadle, deposed that the word Ho tel" was put up only in April or May last, Sonic Members of the ward deposed, that they would not sign the certificate if it was for a gin-shop, there be ing enough of those shops already in the ward. The counter certificate was then put in, which stated that it was supposed that the intention was to apply only for a renewal of the wine license. The Aldermen then retired to consider of their decision, and upon their return into Court, The 31ACISTILATE:.; decided against the license. There were two other similar applications to be taken into consideration—from Mr. Samuel Deacon, of the Co lonial Coffee-house, Skinner-street, Snow-hill ; and Mr. Abraham Francis, of the European Tavern and Hoteh.op pesite the Mansion-house.
