EX-PARTE CURLE IN THE MATTER OF HARVEY, A RANK- RUPT. This appeal was partly heard yesterday ; the ar guments were resumed at the sitting of the Court this morning, and were not concluded when we left it. The original application was to supersede the commission on the ground of concert, which his Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, dismissed, and the present was the appeal against that judgment. VICE.CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Nothing of the slightest interest occurred in this Court up to time of our paper going to press. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. FLYNN V. WALKER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 291. from the defendant, who was recently Assistant-Manager in the office of the Men dicity Society. Mr. Sergeant WILDE and Mr. C. PHILLIPS ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS for the defendant. It appeared from the statement of the Counsel for the plaintiff, that two Irish ladies of the name of Flynn were in great, distress in London, and applied to the Mendicity Society for relief.— The society voted them some money, and several people of rank also paid monies to the defendant on account of the plaintiff. The whole of these monies had not been paid over, and it itas afterwards disco vered that lie had received more than had been ac counted for to Miss Flynn. The present action was consequently brought. To prove this case, Mr. Stevens the present As sistant-Manager, was called, and produced a private book of Mr. Walker's, in which was entered the Misses Flynn's account. There was so much con fusiott, however, in the manner in which the ac count was kept, that the Lord Chief Justice said, that the present was a case in which it would be most desirable to have Mr : Walker himself examin ed; and as that gentleman must, he supposed, feel desirous to go forth to the public as an honest man, he might perhaps consent to such an arrangement. After some consultation between Counsel, this was agreed to, and the case was referred to a gentle man at the bar for arbitration. - BALL v. WRIGHT. This was an action brought by Miss Ball, an agent of Mr. Charles Wright's, against that cele brated gentleman for salary, and also for certain small sums disbursed by her upon his account. It appeared by the evidence of the father of Miss Ball that his daughter was engaged as an agent by Mr. Wright to sell wine for him at a branch house in Chichester-place, Gray's Inn-lane. Her salary was to be 255. per week, and the other disburse ments were for candles, &c. Upon his cross-examination, it was almost im possible to get from him a direct answer to a single question, but this appeared to be in some measure the result of agitation, and an eagerness to reason npon rather than to answer a question. The second witness,a Mrs. Sadler,who succeeded as agent for Chichester-place, when asked as to the quantity of stock handed over to her by the plain tiff, said that she could not recollect. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Why, Mr. Wright is ra ther unfortunate in his agents. LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—The champaigne, Bro thar Wilde.—(A laugh.) On his cross-examination the witness said that the plaintiff had told her that her father and not herself was the agent of Mr. Wright. Mr. Sergeant WILDE then admitted that he must give up the case. The'LoßD CHIEF JUSTICE then said, that this was the fate of almost every action brought in forma pauperis. The experience of the Bar must have shown them the justice of the remark. The plaintiff was then nonsuited. Mr. Sergeant TADDY—I believe, my Lord, ac cording to law, that I may now move that the lady be whipped. (Great laughter.) Our courtesy, however, will prevent our making such a motion. (Much laughter.) The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE—I shall make no such order, brother Taddy. (A laugh.) Mr. Sergeant TADDY—We shall not trouble your Lordship. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The Court was occupied daring the morning in the case of the executors of Sykes and Berry v. Jones, which involved a complicated question of ac counts, and was of no public interest. The Duke of WELLINGTON had an audience yesterday of the KING. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Prin cess SoPIIIA visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. Prince LIEVEN, the Russian. Ambassador, vibited Prince LEOPOLD yesterday, at his residence in 11-man. ge, Aprilsl 2."

A deputation from Dover waited on the CHANCELLOR of the ENCHEQUER yesterday, at the Trea sury; Lord SKELMERSDA LE and the Members for Dover were amongst those present. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY). NEW COURT. The sessions having terminated yesterday the RECORDER proceeded to pass sentence on the pri soners. The following received sentence of death : James Court for burglary, Charles Smith alias David Eastwood, for forgery; Geo. Williams, G. Knight, J. Burren, S. Robinson,.. Brown, E. Smith, (this prisoner most solemnly declared her innocence and ignorance of the robbery), Susannah Thomp son, G. Archer, John Short, John Roberts, Richard Hammond, Charles Tennant, and John M'Nally, for stealing hi dwelling-houses ; James Barren, William Bennet, James Ford, Henry Millar, Thomas Millar, Edward Shoesmith, John Spray, Stephen Stubberfield, Spencer Whiteman, Thomas Maynard, and Wm. Plumb, for unlawfully assem bling with fire-arms, for the purpose of running smuggled goods; Russell Brown, for a robbery; Charles Dell, Thomas Jones, and John Baker, for horse-stealing ; Thos. Edwards, for highway rob bery; Hanbury Price, and Mary his wife, for high treason (coining). The two last were ordered to be drawn to the place of execution on a hurdle. TRANSPORTATION FOR LlFE.—Joseph Jasper, Lydia Casemere, Mary Ann Smith, Ann Rolfe, Isaac Clapham, Sidwell Ailey, Robert Dickson, and James Brian. FOR FOURTEEN Y EARS.—John Greenwood, John Williams, Thomas Jones, Henry Bell, Thos. Scott, Phil Saveacre, Margaret Rose, Gilbert Wiltshire, James M'Koy, Samuel Linton, Ann Copeland, Mary Brown, Jane Dickson, and Jonas Laudley. Upwards of ninety were sentenced for seven years' transportation, and among them William Jones, who was tried for the murder of Betty Jeffs. He was now sentenced for the forgery, to which he pleaded " Guilty," and really, looked better than on either of his examinations, having got quite stout upon the prison allowance. He appeared perfectly at his ease, and not at all anxious to avoid the pub lic gaze. The knowledge of this measure of punish ment did not seem to affect him one way of the other.

France affords the largest num ber, and, we believe, Prussia the next. But the reason we have always had this bad pre-eminence assigned to us is, that no man dies suddenly in this country without an inquest being taken upon the body, which inquest is always made public. This is not the case abroad. No inquests are held, and little or no inquiry made. The amount of bodies taken out of the Seine and deposited at the Morgue, is very great; yet it is never published. If the bodies ars owned by relatives and friends, they are taken away and buried : if not owned, they are buried after r. certain time, and the public know nothing of the matter.— Evening Paper.—This is perfectly correct.— Times. • MOST IMPUDENT ROBBERY.--The follow ing successful case of barefaced robbery cannot be easily surpassed by the most expert professors of conveyancing of the present day. Last week an honest farmer, from the eastern part ef the county of Essex, attended with some stock to dispose of at Rumford market. In the course of the day he met with a person who claiMed his acquaintance, and mentioned circumstances that convinced the farmer they must have often met before. The farmer sold his beasts, and retired with his old acquaintance to a public house, where they drank freely, and then proceeded to gether towards Chelmsford. On Me road, however, they stopped to bait their horses, and had more to drink, until the farmer was too much inebriated to proceed further that night. They slept in a double-bedded room, and, early in the morning, the farmer being still asleep, his friend dressed himself in his clothes, in the pockets of which his money was deposited, paid the expenses of the night, pro ceeded to the stable, and was ready to mount the farmer's horse, worth forty guineas, leaving his own old horse and clothes with-the farmer in lieu. • Just as he was leaving the house the farmer awoke, and finding his quondam friend, and his own clothes and money gone, he got hastily up, put on the clothes left for him, and came down stairs in time to prevent, as he thought, the escape of his old acquaintance. The knave faced him boldly before the landlord and servants, dressed and mounted as we have described, and succeeded in convincing them that the farmer was an impostor; this was easier done, as the parties were strangers in the house. The villain even proposed that they should ride together to Chelmsford, when his identity could be proved by many respectable persons. As matters stood, the farmer agreed to this ar rangement, and mounted the rogue's old horse. They had not proceeded far when the farmer's palfrey became so lame that he could scarcely walk, the thief having, while in the stable, driven a nail in the animal's foot. It was then that the cheat applied the spur to the horse he rode, and soon left the farmer to get home as well as he could, minas a suit of clothes, his horse, and about 1401. in cash. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. John Reeve, of the Adelphi, made his debut here last night for the season, and was welcomed with three distinct rounds of applause. The piece in which he appeared was the well-known burlesque " Bombastes Furioso," which it is unfortunately the fashion just now to spoil, by an attempt on the part of the performers to make it humorous, whereas the very essence of its wit is a certain grave solemn buf foonery, which should be kept up unimpaired through out. Mr. Reeve, as General Bombastes, intruded his drollery somewhat too officiously on the audience; this illustrious commander is a solemn prig, not a laughing blockhead ; lie has throughout, the most happy unconsciousness of his absurdities ; whereas, Mr. Reeve makes him aware that he is a fool.— This, to adopt the language of another illustrious Commander is " really too bad." Mr. C. Kemble's Don Felix, and Miss Chester's (the most majestic of forms) Violante, in the " Wonder," are too well known to need further analysis : enough to say, that they were as well sustained as ever. The house was full. FRENCH THEATRE. A crowd assembled at this theatre last night, in expectation that his Majesty would attend the per formances; we need not say that such expectation was disappointed. The entertainments were first, " Le Tartuffe ;" and secondly, " Le Consent," after which, the author of the former piece, the inimitable Moliere, (about whom Sir Walter Scott has written so pleasantly of late) had his bust crowned with all due ceremony by the performers. The repetition of Perlet's Tartuffe was, however, the chief attrac tion of the evening, it 'is a fine consistent piece of acting; from first to last there is nothing disjointed or outre about it ; the consequence is, that it will bear seeing a hundred times. Mademoiselle SONTAG and Madame CARA.. DORI are to appear together as Donna Anna and Zerlina, in Don Giovanni, which has been selected by Madame CARADORI for her benefit, and announced for the 1 et of May. Madame CATALAN S, who, with her husband, is now at Paris, has accepted the terms offered her by the Managers of the York Musical Festival. For her exer tions on this occasion, Madame C. is to receive 600 guineas. During the spring and autumn, Madame C. purpoSes re maining in London ; after which she will make a provin cial tour. Towards the end of autumn this " Queen Of song" will visit Ireland after an absence of five years.— Sphynx. Mademoiselle SONTAG dines on Sunday next with the Countess ST. ANTomo, where a large party is expected to meet this fascinating songstress. It may not be generally known, that Mademoiselle SONTAG, unlike the generality of her profession, does not accept pecuniary re muneration for singing at parties, though she does not re fuse what the French term dons. MADEMOISELLE SONTAG.—Whatever ex pectations may have been raised by the glowing portraits of Mademoiselle SONTAG, which have preceded her arrival in this country, her appearance on Tuesday, if it did not fully realize, can hardly be said to have disappointed them. The enthusiastic applause of a crowded house, indeed, showed that it did not. The person, however, of Mademoiselle SONTAG has been unjustly extolled, above her singing. She has an interesting appearance, is pretty, delicately formed, has a skin of dazzling whiteness—a complexion truly Saxon. She has youth, too, with an air more youth ful than even the reality ; and retiring and modest man ners, which ensure favour. The very popular air, " Una voce poco fir," and the lesson at the piano, were, of course, the occasions she availed herself of for giving the London audience a specimen of her powers. In the former, in points of expression, we have seen several " Rosinas," whom we prefer ; but, on the score of singing, we never before beard the air executed so delightfully. It was, nevertheless, received somewhat coldly by the house; partly, we imagine, because the majority (and this obser vation is confirmed by a mistake we see in a Morning Paper) did not distinguish the middle from the conclu sion of the air. It was not even encored, but many seemed to think it had been repeated. So much for our London connoisseurs ! The principal display was the musical lesson at the piano, in the second act. In this Mademoiselle SONTAG seemed to design to prove her excellence. It is little to say that she astonished as well as delighted her audience, not more by the delicious tones of her voice, than by the facility and brilliancy of her execution, which, in the variations, was truly marvellous. After so much has been said and written about this lady, we need scarcely repeat, that her voice is a soprano of great compass, and equally clear and melodious through the whole scale. Its adaptation is clearly for the opera buffs. Neither in style of person, nor of singing; we should imagine from last night's specimen, is Mademoiselle SONTAG calculated to be greatly successful in serious opera.—Front the Sphynx. COOPER, the American tragedian, who was somewhat unceremoniously treated at Drury-lane, has gone back to his native country. He tells a doleful story of his illiberal treatment by the English, and his country, like a fond parent, sympathizes with his grievance, and thinks her darling has been cruelly used. This, we suppose, will console him for his failure in London. SIR WALTER SCOTT AND THE KEEPSAKE, —We have been informed that this great writer has enga ged to furnish two tales and a poem for the Keepsake, for which he is to be paid ttie almost incredible sum of 1,000 guineas! Well might JOHNSON say there were no MiE CENASES but the booksellers. SIGNOR GIACOMO DE NOVELLO.-ThC intended flight of the " Eagle of Milan," as the strange gentleman terms himself, seemed to have attracted yester day very little attention. At half•past two, the time when he was to set out, Westminster Bridge did not ex hibit above fifty loiterers. These, with a few boys, who had taken possession of Westminster Hall, where they seemed to be amusing themselves very pleasantly without Signor GIACOMO'S assistance, formed all the crowd. The afternoon was very wet, and, therefore, no exhibition took place. We hear, however, that, in compensation for the public disappointment, Signor 0. will this day fly round the Abbey, in addition to whirling over St. Stephens's, as was promised yesterday. He will afterwards pay his devoirs to the Duke of WELLINGTON at the Horse Guards —proceed thence to the How: of Lords (the great doors are to be opened for the purpose)—and having peiched on the canopy of the throne, he will, after due obeisance, make his escape in the way which was proposed for the Corn Bill of last year—by one of the side windows. M. DE LA FoNs had a Conversazione at his house, George-street, Hanover-square, on Tuesday even ing. The extensive collection of this eminent gentleman, which is still in the Museum, in the rear of the premises, was open to the company. It was splendidly lighted up for the occasion, and the friendly attentions of M. DE LA FONS made the evening pass very agreeably. The Mu- • seum is extremely valuable . it consists of a variety of mor bid specimens of our own economy, collected by the cele brated proprietor during his extensive practice, as well as a very numerous and choice collection of pieces, illustra tive of interesting, or still partially known, points in ton in ovip arous an i ma l s . phy siology—the development of the human foetus, the change frog, and the chain of phenomena oobfstehrveabtaledpaoftleer impregnation aign MARCH OF INTELLECT.—A gentleman the other day visiting Mr. WOOD'S school in Edinburgh, bad a book put into his hand for the purpose of examining a class.

A man named HA- C a l n it if Mercury. left by a mother? HA MILTON, in a state of intoxication, attempted to swallow a piece of beef, which was too large, and stuck in his throat. All the symptoms of strangulation followed. His breathing was stopped, his face and hands became black, and after several violent struggles he became quiet, and ap parently dead. Some of his neighbours ran out to pro cure medical assistancd; and fortunately without much loss of time succeeded in getting a young gentleman, named M‘QuEEN, to come to his aid. Mr. APQUEEN, on seeing HAMILTON, was instantly aware that not a moment was to be lust if he wished to nave his life; lie, therefore, made an incision into the throat and a slip up the windpipe. He next looker) around for the readiest instrument to serve his purpose, and espying a tea-pot he tore the spout from it, and fixed it in the incision in HAMILTON'S throat, to af ford a medium through which to breathe. After some time the operation of the vital powers began to be visible, and Mr. M'Quitnst expressed a wish that some other me dical aid should be procured, as he did not wish to act any further on his own responsibility. Dr. and some others were called in, and after a great deal of trouble, the piece of meat was forced into the stomach. The man is now quite well,....Mmereal Herald. SPORTING.-RECEITED THIS DAY.

SCULLERS' WAGER.—An excellent Scui lers' wager took place yesterday between Mr. Jinni AN DREWS and Mr. GEORGE FRY, two gentlemen amateurs of sculling celebrity , . The match was for 10/. a-side, to row with tide from Westminster Bridge to Putney Bridge. At starting, Mr. Fax took the lead, closely followed by his adversary, and both boats passed through Vauxhall Bridge within two yards of each other. Mr. ANDREWS here passed his opponent, rowing direct for the Red House Ta vern, Battersea, his opponent pulling with great skill and strength ; but taking a circuitous route, thus losing a good bit of ground, although having the advantage by going with the strength of the tide, and finally passed through Batter sea Bridge first, Mr. ANDREWS running very hard upon his quarter, and finally again passing him for a few yards ; but Mr. Fay continuing his steady course, and proving himself without doubt the best scalier, although his opponent had the advantage of tactics. The match, after a good contest, was ultimately decided in favour of Mr. FRY. The scene was well attended.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLI3 JOURNALS Nothing more is requisite to show Ole pro gress which the Portuguese Government has al ready made towards despotism, and the i g htfui lengths to which it is prepared to go, that; to find, in • a paper written by . its agents . and published under its sanction , a defence of the Holy Office, and a recomm end ation of its re establishment. Such a defence and recommen dation appear in the Trombeta Fined of the sth inst., sent us from Lisbon by the last packet. The article is headed, " The Inquisition, and begins by complaining that the sect of Constitu tionalists (who are assumed as wishing to sacri flee to their perverse theories of liberty and equality Kings and Priests):have never ceased -to abuse the Holy Office ; that this sacred tribunal has become for modern philosophers the " rock of offence ;" that against it have been uniformly directed- the darts of impiety ; that whatever ob jects demagogues included or omitted in the - iv furious declamations, they never forgot this bul-- Iva+ of the faith, and that in Portugal the De mocrats were not for a moment satisfied till they had abolished its jurisdiction, insulted its mini sters, and obliterated its ensigns. It then goes on to state, that the infernal clubs of Freemason: ,, and lovers of freedom had not only put down the H o ly Office, but were still so perversely opposed to the interestsvfreligion, that they were employ ing every means to prevent its re-establishment. —Having thus characterized its enemies, and denounced their objectski the article ca ll s upon the Portuguese people to undeceive themselves, and not to deny or disallow the benefits which had resulted from this calumniated tribunal. These benefits arc then enumerated in various sections, called rfflection3 on its necessity and merits. To its influence, in particular, is ascribed " the tranquillity and happiness enjoyed by Sp ain and Portugal for the last three centuries, above all the other countries of Europe." A continua tion of the article is promiseti for the succeeding number of the Trombeta, which we have not yet received. To Englishmen this infittuation would appear almost incredible : but it must be owned that the same faction which inters with solemn pomp in the neighbourhood of the chief convents the image of the Charter, and which professes to regard a free government as the most abomi nable of heresies, is desirous of establishing, both over their absolute King and their enslaved fellow-vassals, the dominion of the Church. This junta of selfish fanatic.; would he contemptible under a sensible or liberal Monarch who understood his own interests, and was disposed to consult the . prosperity and improvement of his people. Its movements were easily suppressed during the forced abie sence of Don Miguel ; the mild, though weak arm of his father was able to restrain its fury ; and the tardy reluctance with which the army of any considerable portion of the nation has yielded to the artful solicitations and deep-laid intrigue 3 of the old Queen, shows how easily a Constitu tional Government might have maintained at:- even balance between the antagonist parties, till the diffusion of knowledge and the experience of freedom had thrown a - decided and perma nent weight into the scale of the Charter. But possessing, as it now does, all the powers of the State in addition to its own, it becomes for the timeirresistible, and nothing can arrest its pro o'rm till its oppressions become intolerable. Tt. was creditable to the good sense and patriotism of the late Cortes, that they voted the abolition of the Holy Office by acclamation, and not after lone, discussions, as in the Congress of Cadiz. The ex istence of such a tribunal was felt, without proof or argument, to be, every hour of its existence, an insult to reason, and reproach to a free Govern ment. Its power and name, therefore, were im mediately suppressed—its arms were defaced— its dungeons were thrown open, and demolished —its Ministers (several of whom most forcibly denounced its principles) were dismissed on pensions, and a monument was ordered to be erected in the square where its horrid autos were celebrated to commemorate its abolition. When the Cortes were overthrown two years afterwards, this monument was likewise overthrown, being pulled.down, stone by stone, by the Monks , who yoked themselves like beasts ofburden to the work ; but under the late King nobody talked of re storing itsjurisdiction or reconstructing its prisons, This pious work (if it is yet destined to be per formed) was reserved for the constitutional reign of Don Miguel I.—Times. The public will do us the favour to observe, that amidst the varying reports on the affairs of Eastern Europe, we have strictly persevered in recommending the same line of policy, and have published statements now acknowledged to be correct, evincing the adoption of that policy. We have said that England has no cause of jea lousy against France, and Europe nothing tur fear from Russia; and had Prussia and Austria been faithful and firm in recommending submis sion to the Porte—had not those two Powers, on the contrary, insinuated suspicions respecting the sincerity with which the triple alliance wa, formed—we have no doubt but that a pacifica tion would have taken place long ago. We now, however, learn from sonic of the best of uur ilneign correspondents, and we believe the re port, that Austria and Prussia have of late very much altered their tone. The separate war about to be declared by Russia against the Porte, and on the other hand the fixed determination of us to think France and England to obtain the o bject of the tranquillity i'l the East preserve, or rather to restore . , induce treaty cessio n of o London, d : e i m r part have t c h zi e n , Ni , i u n r c k e s d i t s h t e i r , i c i that .o liy c N o v a n ; East of Europe.

They would have acted mole w i se l y , as well as more honestly, if they had papers . speak of adopted thisago. We learn from the same s ource, that Baron Miltitz, the Prus sian Envo y, has been recalled, though the c ourse long er' Kanitz as if he was sent on a mere special mission, and not as a substi wte for the other. This may be considered a; t confirmation of the opinion of our corre vondents as to the altered disposition of Prussia. —lbid. the French "I t is certainly strange (says our euntem- Porary : th e S cotsman ) nearly a milli on to our population every three that, while we arc adding years, corn does not rise as it ought to do, if !here be any truth in the doctrine of rent.
