( Hear.) Ile supported the Church, but not its abuses; sod he had great expectation that during the present Ses sion Church -rates, especially as respected the processes in the` Ecclesiastical Cellos, would be put upon some better fouting.—( Hear, hear.) He bad been asked some ques tion at a former meeting at Clapham about the window tax. While he recollected it he would say, that with re ference to taxation generally his principle was that those who had most should pay most,—(Continued applause.) As the case stood now, the miser, and the absentee who spent his income in foreign countries, saved their property, but did not contribute one farthing to the Treasury.— ( near, hear.) As to the right of voting, it was so absurd that a man paying 301. or 401 or 481. a , year rent for his house should not have a vote, that it did not require any argument. Assuredly the time was not far distant when such a state of things must be amended.—(Cheers• ) Ile now offered himself as a candidate to represent them in Parliament, where, if returned, he trusted he should not be found wanting in furthering the great principles of re form in all points of the constitution. The Honourable Gentleman resumed his seat amidst most enthusiastic applause. A resolution to the effect " That it is highly necessary to secure the return to Parliament of a representative for this division of the county of liberal and independent principles" was then carried unanimously. Sir THOMAS EDWARD COLEBROOK proposed the next resolution, which called upon them heartily to come for ward in support of the present candidate. He could not allow that to be done without expressing his own hearty concurrence.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) He rejoiced that a gentleman so intimately connected with the agricul tural interests of the county had come forward, and made so manly a stand against the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) That he should have so openly and honestly declared for a total repeal, when it might in many parties have created a pr e judice against him, was worthy of the highest praise.— ( Applause.) He could also not [refrain from expressing the extreme satisfaction be felt at the sentiments which Mr.Alcock had uttered respecting the great pripeiples of rehgrausliberty.--( Hear, hear, and cheers.) questions came home so nearly to every roan connected with the Liberal interest, that it was quite unnecessary to expatiate upon the subject. He would at once conclude by reading the resolution which he had submitted to the meeting : " R:solved, that Thomas Alcock, Esq., is, in the opinion of di:, meeting, by his advocacy of civil and religious liberty, by his liberal and enlightened principles, by his intimate connexion with the most important commercial and agricultural interests of the country; and by his posi tion as a very considerable landed proprietor and resident in this division of the county, eminently qualified to repre sent this metropolitan county in Parliament." The resolution was carried by acclamation. The next resolution was to the effect—" That this meeting pledge themselves to support, by all honourable means in their power, the return of Mr. Alcock to Par liament." IRISH LEGENDS AND TALES.

OFFICES, 3, BRIDSE-STREET, PARLIAMENT- STREET. It will readily be admitted that, in so vast a metropolis as London, such an Institution as is now announced, has been long and urgently required. The plan is so comprehensive as to meet the wants, views, and interests of numerous classes of the community. The Gentlemen who act in co-operation with the Proprietors, and upon whom many of the ;rincipal duties devolve, are eminently qualified for their respective depart ments. So far as tl.e Managing Proprietor is personally con cerned, he would rather rely upon the support he can receive from those who are associated with him, than put forward any peculiar pretensions of his own. He may, however, be per mitted to observe, that he has considerable experience in Li terary pursuits, Parliamentary business, and Political and ge neral correspondence. At a very early age he held a Literary engagement in Mr. Valpy's celebrated office, while the Delphin Classics were in process of publication. He afterwards became connected with the Morning Herald, and, during the long pe riod of upwards of twenty years, continued to discharge for that Journal various important and confidential duties in every quarter of the United Kingdom, and nearly all over the Conti nent of Europe.

DONALDSON, Esq., the Chairman, was supported by Mr. Ogle, as assessor. A discussion having taken place as to who was to begin, On the question being referred to the Assessor, he decided that those who appeared for tic district, and in support of the presentment , of the former Jury, were to begin. . The SOLICITOR to the Court then addressed the Jury, and explained the law of Sewers at great length, from the Ist Act relating to Sewers, passed in the year 1427, down to the present time, drawing their particular attention to the Act of Henry VIII., which was, in fact, the law under which they were now acting, and by which Act the lands of the Sovereign were as expressly bound as the lands of any other poison. It bad formerly been the practice only to assess such !persons to the S,wers-rate as were assessed to the Poor -rate; but the Commission ers were of opinion that much property which was not liable to the Poor-rate was liable to the Sewers'-rate, and accordingly had determined to present it to the Jury. Among that property:which it was now sought to assess for the first time was this portion of Chelsea Hospital, and al th,:ugh it had never yet been assessed to the Sewers'-rate, yet it' they were of opinion that it was legally liable, it ought now to be asses 3rd. Now, the statutes to which he had before alluded, all lands of every description were liable without exception, and conse quently that Chelsea Hospital ought to be assessed. The Leas ned Gentleman concluded by quoting an immense number of authorities in support of his argument. Mr. Ilertelut, the Clerk to the Commission, being sworn, proved the presentment of the former Jury, found on 27th November last, which was put in, and that portion of it relating to Chelsea Hospital read. Mr. Joins Dowling, the Surveyor of Sewers for the Ra nelagh district, expkinecrthe situation of the Hospital with regard to the sewers under the jurisdiction of the Court, for the purpose of showing the benefit derived by the Hos pital therefrom.

Witness also stated that the present Ranelagh sewer bad been formerly a common ditch, into which the hospital sewer opened; that the hospital sewer appeared to h INT been an ancient sewer, and'that the western sewer of the Hospital opened into a creek communication with the Thames, until such communication was cut di by the works erected by the Commissioners of Sewers. ‘Vitness believed what was called the western sewer, to be a public sewer. Before the Commissioners made the alterations, the sewer was sufficient to take away the waste water of the Itypital. Dods not know of any public sewer under the building of the Hospital. Re-examined,—The Commissioners had no jurisdiction over these sewers until 1807. The alterations made by them bad materially benefited Chelsea Hospital. By one of the Jury.—Did not know whether, if these alterations had not been made by the Commissioners, the fl.spital Commissioners must have made them et pre sent, but they must have done so at some future time. Mr. R. Sini,r,r, surveyor, had made the valuation of Chelsea Hospital. Mr. Muouss thought the going into an examination as to the value was a waste of the time of the Court, as the real question was, whether the Hospital was liable, and whether it derived any benefit ? Mr. Amy thought the objection a most proper one. Mr. DYER thought the opinion of the Assessor ought to be taken on the subject, and abided by. The Assusson thought there were three questions to be submitted to the Jury. Ist, Was the Hospital liable ? \Vas the proper person assessed? And, 3d, Was it asses sed in the proper sum ? There had been therefore, as ho considered, no waste of time. vV Mr. MuLLINs was about:to enter into a further discussion, when ho was interrupted by the Chiirimn, who said that the Assessor having given his opinion, ho considered that he ►oust take the opinion of the Conrt as to whether there should be any further discussion on the subject. The CHAIRMAN said that it having been arranged that the question of Chelsea Chapel having been adjourned to two o'clock, it was for the Court to decide to what day they should adjourn it, as it would be really impossible to go into it to.day. Mr. "AMIE slid that he thought they ought not to fix a day in the absence of Mr. Bodkin, who was ccunsel fur the appellants, and who promised to be there by two ( # 66 N (k4.-fx,r, ty-T; • 0:u • ) _t , • • , , 1114A 4 r. • • „ i .s. 1 4! ,, ,' n v . l'd. 4 V" — EPTIP Mr. DYER thought the Chairman had better take the advice of the Assessor as to the power of adjourning the Chelsea Chapel case, and rule accordingly. The ASSESSOR thought the difficulty a; to the power was got rid of by the consent of Mr. Bodkin and his client, and therefore he should suggest to adjourn to ten o'clock to-morrow. The SOLICITOR to Chelsea Church eould consent to nothing in the absence of Mr. Bodkin, who he knew could not attend at ten o'clock to-morrow. Mr. LESLIE thought it by no means certain that the present case would be finished by ten o'clock to-morrow. Mr. ADEY would move that the further proceedings of the case in regard to Chelsea Church be adjourned to this day fortnight. Mr. MuLuNs seconded it. The CIIAIRNIAN, acting under the advice of the Asses sor, decided that the question could not be put. Mr. DYER said it ,was always the practice, in every Court, to state, when questioned, whether they : would take a certain cause en that day or not. Ho *idled to have tine opinion of the Assessor as to their power to adjourn beyond day to dai in the trial of these traverses. The ASSESSOR was of opinion, that if they adjourned i at all, they ought to adjourn from day to day ; if they wished to adjourn to a longer period, they ought to obtain the consent of the parties concerned. The SOLICITOR to the Church of St. Luke's, Chelsea, then applied to adjourn the case to Friday week, pledg ieg himself not to take any advantage of any technicality. After sonic discussion it was decided tLat the applica tion must be made in writing. Tho examination of Mr. Sibley was then resumed as to the proper assessment of the Hospital. He valued fourteen acres of buildiaga at 1001. an acre, and thitt; --jx acres of pleasure-grouad at WI, an acre. The Sauelagh Sewer, PRICE 51. was of much importance to the Royal Hospital, as it pre lented the gardens from being inundated. Cross-examined—Mr. Hall occupied the hall, and chapel, Easel grounds, only in the same manner as the secretary or any other officer of the establishment. JOHN HENRY TAYLOR, another surveyor, corroborated the evidence given by Mr. Sibley. A written application was pus in from the solicitors for the Chelsea Church, chapel, and workhouse, for an al journment of the trial of their tuv:rse till that day fort night, %dell was agreed to by an unanimous vote, and the Jury was dia , charged accordingly. The Sotamoe f I the Hospital then addressed the Jury, and contended that the presentment could not stand, be cause Hall, who was assessed, was not an officer of the Hospital, but was the servant of the Board of NVotks at tached to the Hospital ; he occupied premises in the Hos pital for which he was rated to the poor and to the sewer rate, but he was not in possession in any way of colic r the wards or chapel, or one foot of ground around the llospi tal ; he did not pretend, for one moment, that he was a man in possession of property to the amount of 7,0001. ; he was not in possession, and according to all the cases he could not be assessed. He contended that the premises assessed in this presentment belonged to the Coroner, and if the Jury would only find that it would greatly relieve him, for then the duty of defending the case would devolve upon the Attorney or Solicitor-Gencral. However, he con tended that Richard Hall was not charged to the Poor rate for the premises he was now assessed to, therefore be could not be liable for the Sewers'-rate ; he, was not in possession, and therefore he was not assessable ; and if his goods, or those of any other person, were taken for the rate, he or the owner would have good ground for an ac tion. If the Commissioners were determined to assess some persons for the premises they must go against the pensioners, and he would prove that although they were the only beneficial occupants the Judges had de cided they were not liable to the.:Poor-rate, and therefore they could not be liable` to the Sewers': rate. He further contended that the Hospital was not as sessable, because before the Commission took their private sewers they had a perfect drainage. After going at great length into the history of the Hospital, and citing many 'eases to show that as a public Hospital-it was not laa6ie to the Poor-rate, and, consequently, was not liable to the Sewers-rate, he called John Fessor, the chief clerk in the Secretary's office of Chelsea Hospital, who stated that there were 539 pensioners and 26 nurses in the Hospital, who were lodged, fed, and washed for at the public expense. They all met in the common hall at stated hours to got their meals, and all slept in wards, and had fires in common. Richard Hall was not a pensioner of the Hospital, nor was he an officer of it at all. He was placed in his situation by tame Board of Works, He did not occupy any land in the Hospital, nor had he anything to do with the chapel except to attend to its repairs. The hospital was Crown property, and was taken care of by the Commissioners. The sewerage was perfectly sufficient for the purposes of the hospital before the Commissioners of Sewers took possession of their ditch. Cross-examined—The public sewer was certainly of ad vantage to the hospital, because it kept the approaches in good order. Re-examined—The Seijeant-major was as much an oc cupier of the wards and the chapel as Mr. Hall, and had the same access to them. The Vestry Clerk of Chelsea produced the rate-books, in which neither the wards or the chapel were inserted. Stephen Maythorn was called to prove the sufficiency of the drainage, previous to the making of the sewer by the Commissioners. This closed the traverser's case. Mr. SMITH, the Solicitor to the Commission, then replied. The Learned AiiSESSOR summed up, and left it to the Jury to say whether the Hospital derived any benefit from the Sewerage, because, if so, ho was of opinion the build. ing was liable to the rate. The Jury retired to a private room, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour, returned with a verdict confirming the presentment. • The cesa occupied the Court upwards of ten hours. At eight o'clock the Court was adjourned. MONEY MARK ET and CITY NEWS - --~- (FRIDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—The funds hare been heavy to-day, and prices gradually declined from the opening quotations. This depression has been produced by discounting the low prices expected to-morrow morning from Paris, where it is expected that the market would be lowered by the contents of the Queen's Speech. Opinions here have fluctuated from one side to the other. The first im pression was that the effect would be bad in Paris, and this produced an immediate fall with us, but when the explanation of Lord Palmerston was read, it was seen to be so reasonable and satisfactory that the Bears became fidgetty and bought back their stock. To-day, however, a change again has come over the spirit of their dream, and all kinds of gloomy rumours have ben cir• culated.; amongst others, that the Paris pi ices of Thursday have been actually received, but we have not traced the report to any authentic quarter. The pro. bability is, however, that the French funds may be par tially affected, as ours were at the first reading of the Speech, because it will be received without the explanatory comments. So soon, however, as they arc perused, we must give the French credit for sufficient can dour and good sense to allow that it bff.e - ds no cause fur dissatisfaction on their part. If, therefore, the Routes come lower to-morrow, we should have. a rally in them when time is given for the discussion and consideration of the matter in its fair and proper bearings. In the mean time, however, the market here has shown weakness, and considerable anxiety has been felt upon the subject through out the day. It will be seen that the communication from our Madrid correspondent, referred to in the Chronicle of to-day cor roborates the statement which we gave yesterday of the outline of the expected financial decrees relative to the Foreign Debt of Spain ; the chief point of difference being the rate of interest to be paid on the capital zed coupons, which is now stated at 3 per cent., instead of 21, as was originally announced. Oar information yesterday led us to say that the rate would be probably so high as per cent. We believe, however, that on the qucsion of interest some difference of opinion existed in the Spanish Cabinet, which may have delayed the publi cation of the decrees themselves, and led to the dis crepancies which have appeared as to the precise rate of interest to be paid on the coupons. Doubts also are en tertained as to the period when it is proposed by the Re gency to resume payment of the interest on the active capital stock ; in other words, the accounts in the City to de) do not coincide in that respect, as in sonic well in formed quarters the Ist of May, 141?, is named, and in others 11613 Should the last named day be the date fixed upon, the interest payable for the present year will be included in the conversion of coupons, and capi,alized accordingly with those of the preceding years from 1 X 37 ine:usive. • ` 'Phis was settling day in the Foreign Ilcule, but the extreme fluctuations in Spanish Actives si►►ce the Ipst settlement have .carccly amounted to 1 per cent., and in the other foreign securities little business has been trans act( d, consequently the Account arranged to-day was by no means large. MJney was easy, the rate of continuation not being more than (3 to 8 per cent., depending, in some measure, on the nature of the security. TIMES.—By adviees from Hamburgh of the 19th inst. the price of gold is 424 per mark, which, at the English' Mitt price of 3/. 17s. 100: the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.41 ; and the exchange at Ham burgh on London at short being 13.4, it follows that gold is 21 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is sf. per milk, which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 27i ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is .10 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. It was mostly money business that was done in Consols to-day, and there was a slight decline in values both for Money and the Account as compared with yes:erday. The settlement of the Foreign Stock account to-day was attended with no difficulty ; in fact, the business done within the last fortnight has not been large, and was chiefly confined to Spanish bonds, in which, however, the extreme fluctuations have not exceeded' 1 per cent. Por tuguese Bonds have scarcely varied so much. Dutch and ;Airr securities, which formerly used to be objects of spe culation, are now quite neglected as such, and the few transactions which occur arc almost exclusively limited to bona fide sales and purchases for money, and the quota lions arc steady. Some remarks which arc current respecting the influ ence the proposed alterations in the tobacco duties may have upon the parties at present engaged in that trade, consti tute a very proper subject for public attention, though it is obvious that such considerations ought not to stand in the way of a decided public benefit. Among the per sons who expect to receive the greatest injury from the alterations are the makers of home-made cigars, who at present manufacture a leaf subject to a duty of 3s. per pound, and who confine themselves to an in ferior sort of cigars, since persons who can afford the high est prices invariably prefer those made in the Havanna'', notwithstanding tho protective duty laid on cigars of foreign manufacture. Inferior, however, as the home made article may be, it is taken by a large quantity of con sumers, and employs some thousands of hands in making it, who all run the ri.k of being thrown out of work in th.l event of lowering the duties ; for if the duty be reduced to 53. in the pound, instead of the 9a. which is p present, the protection which now is beneficial to the Lk dor kind of cigars, though it is found not to extend to the best sort, will be removed from the former, and as the labour of home manufacture costs from Ba. to 10s. per pound, the inferior cigars of forei g n make will be taken at a price scarcely higher than that paid by the Lome • manufacturer for leaf tobacco, and thus competition will be destroyed. Several complaints aro made by persons receiving Post office money orders, who have been subjected to what they conceive unnecessary delay in obtaining the;r money f rom the chief office in St. Martin's-lc-Grand. The delay seems to arise from the order, and the letter to the uflice, containing advices respecting that order, being sent at V- N ren t times, for it is no uncommon occurrence for the pre stetcr of order to be told, that it cannot be paid be cause no advices have been received, and he has to wait for several days to allow time for these advices. Now, as it would seem that the mere presentation of the order would be sufficient without any advices at all, it is parti. cularly hard that the public should be put to irconvenieree oil account of a part of the systm, which is of such small PRIVATE.

WALSALL ELECTION. " The Voice of the People is the Voice of God." DEAR SIR— We, the undersigned electors and non-elec tors of the borough and foreign of Walsall, being mem bers of the Wesleyan Society and congregations in the aforesaid borough, &c., having heard with deep regret that it is the intention of you, and others of our friends, to vote on the s'cle of the supporter of the iniquitous Corn laws, beg most respectfully to expostulate with you and them. We are greatly surprised at your forming such an inten tion, because we know you to be a believer in the Word of God; that Word -which saith, " He that withholdeth corn the people shall curse him."—" Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is on the face of all the earth ;"—and " the profit of the earth is for all." Many other passages might be enumerated, but we think it need less. We respect you highly for your work's sake, and earnestly entreat you to pause before you range yourself on the side of the oppressors of the poor. Remember, " the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of him that spoileth them." From what has been ascertained, the above are the sen timents of three-fourths of the congregation. We remain your's, &c., Robert Brewer John Osborn Josiah Wheeley Thomas Myring Mark Lees John Daft John Butler Edmund Timmins Thomas Withers Samuel Evans Samuel Butler Joseph Cash Benjamin Bate J; Blakemore, jun.

A public meeting of the friends of Mr. Alcock took place last evening at the Spread Eagle Tavern, Wands worth. The Liberals of the town and neighbourhood mustered in great numbers. . The large room of the tavern was crowded to excess, and the utmost enthusiasm was manifested. The chair was taken soon after seven o'clock, by George de Larpent, E,q• Mr. Alcock, on ascending the platform, was received with the most en- thusiastic cheering. The CHAIRMAN felt great pleasure in having the oppor tunity of introducing to his brother electors of the Liberal interest a gentleman whose principles, character, and conduct ho was sure would meet with the approbation of an enlightened community.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. de Larpent) had lately contested the represen ation of the borough of Ludlow with that gentleman, and had bad many opportunities of becoming intimately acquainted with his public sentiments, which he was sure would prove amply satisfactory to every sound and judicious Reform er..—(Cheers.) He (Mr. de Larpent) had been re quested to offer himself as a candidate for their suffrages on the present occasion, and Mr. Alcock amongst others, had put his name to the requisition, He had, however, declined to do so, for private reasons, which it was unne cessary for him to mention publicly. He bad referred to the elections at Ludlow, because a report had got abroad, and was industriously circulated by the opposite party, that the decision of the Committee of the Flame of Commons with respect to that election reflected discredit upon the character of Mr. Alcock, and rendered him unworthy of their suffrages. Although himself opposed to that Ho nourable Gentleman on that occasion, it afforded him sin cere satisfaction to be able to state that all that he knew of his character and conduct, during that election, re doundcd to his honour and credit.--( Loud cheering.) The present contest, no doubt, would be an arduous one. Their opponents were aware of their exertions, and were making proportionate endeavours to secure their own success. Now was the time for every honest and in dependent elector to be up and doing.—( Cheers.) They bad the influence of both purse and name arrayed against them. That should only arouse them to in creased exertion. If once that young gentleman ( Mr. Antrobus) was allowed to fix himself on the county, there would be the greatest difficulty to get him out on a future occasion.—( Hear, hear.) But that was not the only or even the principal reason that should induce them to make a bold stand on the present occasion. When they con sidered the vast importance of the questions about to be discussed in Parliament—questions, the right decision of which involved the ruin or prosperity of the trade and ma nufactures of the country, the peculiar unfitness of the Tory candidate must be apparent. lie was possessed neither of years nor experience —( Hear, hear.) On the other hand, he offered them a man of maturity of age nod judgment, and one who had made those great questions the subject of his peculiar study and observation.— (Cheers. ) The truth of these remarks was so evident that ho need not press it further upon their attention— ( be would now conclude with asking t ( ihelearirc'ordial support for Mr. Alcock during his present arduous struggle for the representation of the county of Surrey.—( Cheers.) Mr. ALCOCK then rose : he was received with loud and reiterated cheering. He could assure them that be had not rashly embarked in his present contest. He had at first been unwilling to come forward, feeling there were many amongst the Liberal gentry of the country who might have greater claims to their support.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Alcock for ever.") He could assure them he felt littered by the warmth of his reception,— (Renewed cheering.) He felt the importance of the in. terests that were at stake. He had not come forward without due and proper deliberation; not until an influen tial popular demonstrat'on bad been made in his favour. And finding that none other of his party offered, ho deter mined no longer to suff er their i nterests to remain unre presented, and to come bold l y f orward.—(Cheers.) Hav ing fight t to the last.—(Cheers.) Having once mounted the saddle , he wa s resolved to ride to the end of the journey.—(Tremendous —(Tremendous cheerin g .) Th ey wou ld nownaturally d o n i t e s o o u , they might depend upon it that he would xpeet some short explaeation of hi s p o li • tical n With respect to th e r i g h t o f vot i ng, s e n r n e e n y t . e s he should continue favourable to the Ballot until he saw some way in which every elector could vote in a manner perfectly unbiassed.—( Hear.) If it was decided that landlords should have influence, the natural way would be to gee each so many votes according to the extent and value of his property. While tenants had votes they ought to be able to dispose of them according to their consciences.—(Cheer=, a d cries of " Hear, hear.") From the opinions he entertained respecting the neces sity of a chant in the Corn-laws, be was told that ho should be sadly mauled in some of the agricult ura l dis tricts of the cou nt y . His sentiments were designated as rash and violent, and certain, if carried out, to bring ruir, upon the farmer and agriculturist. The t ru th was the very rashness attributed to him his opponents themselves were guilty of.—CHear, hear.) If any one . would be ruined he would be amongst the first that would suffer ; and he could assure them he had not adopted a resolution so (as was alleged) contrary to his oen in terest without due deliberation. He would not mind ar guing the subject, and while he had reason on his side, be did not fear to m eet an y bod y of men , however for ey m i g ht be represented. B u t th e f act was was a trick of the Tories to intimidate, if trehiadtab this l s possible. But they would be disappointed, for be had no fear whatever on the matter; for wherever the question Wa3 coolly di cussed in an unprejudicA rr.anner, his im pression was that the impoiicy of the Corn-laws would be evident.—(Chaos.) They brought total destruction on Price lOs. F ALLACIES OF THE FACULTY. By Dr. DICKSON.

" As everybody goes to Paris, everybody should read Mrs. Gore's new novel, Greviile, or a Season' in that delighttul Metropolis—by the production of which the authoress has con ferred a real benefit on the public in several respects. First, she has given them something new ; and, secondly, her lively pages contain a view of Paris, sach as no writer but herself is qualified to afford. The manner in which Mts.

EXTRAORDINARY MISTAKE IN THE AP POINTMENT OF TUE MIDDLESEX QUARTER SESSlONS.—Yes tcrday the Middlesex Sessions, which had been appointed to be holden on Monday next, at the Sessions•house, Clorkenrr ell, were countermanded, in consequence of the discovery being made that a session cannot be originated during term, when, as Mondq will be the last day of term, all trials which were appointed to be heard on that dry would have been invalid. An order was therefore issued by the Chairman, that the sessions should commence the next day ( Tueslay ), and notices were accordingly directed to be issued to the Sheriff;, the various stipendary Magistrates within the district of the county, &c., to that effect. N9t only great inconvenience but great pecuniary loss will be suffered by all parties required to attend at the sessions. Thus, fresh summonses will have to be issued by the Sheriffs for the information of tin Jurors; Magis trates must cominunicate to the various superintendents of police, who will have to send to pros,ecutors, witnesses, &c. At these sessions it is known also, that oftentimes in parochial appeals, appellants, &c., have to come from long distances in the country ; hence a very considerable in create of expenditure will fall upon them, while an addi• tional expense will be incurred by the county. Such a circumstance, it is said, has not occurred before, and it is rather remarkable, that in the application to Parliament for a Bill (notice of which was given on the 31st of Octo ber last) " for breaking up the establishment of the New Prison, Clerkenwell," one of the provisions sought for is " to empower the justices of the peace to commence Bee -110119 during term." utility, and which seems to have no object beyond that of increasing the Post•ofce revenue. SUN.—It was said in the City this afternoon that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would probat.ily make known in the House this evening his intentions with regard to meeting the expenditure of the country, i7ed this acted unfavourably on the Stock Market. Th e quotations of Consols for immediate transfer were 80:1- to 89t, and for the account 8n- to 89k. Exchequer Bills continued at 4s. to 6s. premium ; and India Bonds at 10s. to ss. discount. Bank Stock was sent down from 168 and 169 to 1671 and 166, but whether this arises from any expectation of the financial arrapg ments of Mr. Baring affecting the posi•ion of the : - rectors, we are unable to state. India Stock ryas dull at 2•iB ; the New Three-and-a-Halt per Cents realised SK to 974 ; and the Three per Cents. 90i to t-2 , * When Foreign States, which have often deceivtd ns before, begin to make a show of doing justice to us in regard to our claims on them for money lent, we Begin to suspect some coming project for a new loan ; and as the busy emissaries of Spain are trumpeting forth the good intentions of M. Gamboa (which we ourselves do not pretend to dispute) we conceive that the pnbl . c should be cautious in dealing in Spanish Stock at pre sent, and bide their time. No doubt thoir suspense will only be of limited duration. 'lo-day Active Spanish Bonds were at 25 to 24 a ; the New Portuguese Five per Cents. at 021 to 21'. being a slight decline ; and the Three per Cents. at 21'i to 20 ; Danish at 7S ; Chilian at 60 ; end Dutch, Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 50-1 to A.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner llnnoYn.) IN TIII: BANKRUPTCY or WRIGHT A 11) Friday being the day fixed for the final examination of the 13inkruFts, several additional claims were admitted, when A s. dicitor, who said he attended for several credjlors, appliallon G:11 Bair plum]: a the Learned Commissioner to reeover vacs; rn um for the sum of 1 161 16s. on different bankers, which had been Maid in alter the determination by the bankrupts to stop par. went, but which, nevertheless, were paid in, being pres'ented t.t the different bankers on whom they were drawn on Hie morning of the Monday on which they (the bankrupt actually stoppvl payment. These checks had been handed over to the ussignow, . . . . . . and the applicant DOW prayed that his clients might be doolavtd en. titled to receive the amount of those cheoks. Mr. Commissioner floutovn assented. O►Eit.uor: B:►NKERS' Ciireas.—A gentlemau, at t!:e lust titling under this bankruptcy, made an application respecting crcr-due bankers' checks, which was not finally disposed of, add upon which the Learned Commissioner now proceeded to deliver his judgment as follows :—The question to which I allude was respecting the right and form of proofs against the estate of the bankrupts for a sum of money which, at the time of the bankruptcy, formed pact of a larger sum than standing in the bankers' book to the credit of a customer, and for which the customer had some days previously to the bankruptcy, given a check to a third party, in payment of a debt due by the customer to such party ; the cheek not haring been presented for payment, thereby operated as a satisfactitn and dis charge of the debt for which it was given in payment, proritiod it was drawn in conformity with the provision is the Stamp Act mating to drafts to banlyrs. I should here mention that all unstampcd checks, drafts, or orders for Vibe payment . „ . . of money to the bearer on demand, drawn in Great Britain on n banker residing within fifteen miles of the place where they arc issued—and the drafts or orders must specify the place where they are issued, and bear date on or before the day on which they are issued--no ladies by the holder will make a cheek not drawn in conformity with the above provision amount to payment of a prioi debt, even though the check, but for such !aches, would have been paid. In the present case there appears to be no obje tion to the form of the cheek. In order, then, to come to a-rigsl conclusion upon the question before me, it will be proper to con. rider the legal and equitable rights of the respective parties at the time of the bankruptcy. First, then, what is the operation of banking in regard to what are usually called deposits, or money kept by customers at a banker's e It is this : sums of money which are paid to credit of the customers with a 'milker are both, in fact and in contemplation of law, loans by the customer to the banker, who becomes their debtor, and is bound to repay the money on demand, or to pay checks drawn by the *us tomers for any portion of such money. See " Car v. Car," I Merivale Rep. 541 (note) ; " Leverage v. Noble," 1 Merivale, 56S ; " Sims r. Barrow," 5 Harnewall and Alderson, 393 ; and "Ex parte Swan," I Deacon, 7:15. A person receiving a check drawn upon a banker must present it with due diligence, and, by the law e of merchant, the general rule is that checks re ceived in the course of one day may be presented at any time during banking hours of the next day. See " Rickford v. Ridge," 2 Carlyl e 537 ; " Robinson V. Bennet," 3 Taint, 3Se. If the holder of a check fail to present it with reasonable diligence, the debt in respect of which the check was given is discharged by his lashes,—it amounts to a satis. faction of such debt. In the present case, a Mr. Correa having a large sum to les credit witk Messrs. Wright, On the 13th of November strew a check in favour se( Mr. Doxey for 25/. This check might have been presenled betore the bankruptcy, and had it been present; d it would Have bean paid. The holder, however, kept the check, and omitted to present it or give notice to the bankers that he held it. The holder, therefore, has no remedy at law against the bankers, who were .the debtors of the customer (Mr. Corvan), and at law they would continue to be so until they, by the desire of the customer, entered into some binding engagement with a third party to pay the money to him. Sec " Williams v. Everett," 14 East, 581 ; " Barrow v. leusband," 4 Burn and Adol, (114 ; and " Fairlie v. Denton," S Barn. and Cress• - , 400. What right then in equity has the holder of the c h e e k I in question ? 1 think that in equity, es against the person drawing the check. The check itself would operate as an assignment of so much of the debt owing by the bankers to the customer. SI he awgen ment of a debt does not require for its validity in equity a contratet with the debtors. When au order is given,by a person to pay pelt of his money to another, for a foregone valuable consideration, in equity the owner fixes the money the moment it is shown to the party on whom it is drawn. " Yeatcs r. Groves," I Vee., in., Oa2 ; "Ex parte Alderson," Mad. 53 ;.," Ex parte Sootier 3 Swanst., 393 ; " Lett v. Simmons" 4 Simons. It * true tlsatup this case no notice was given to Wright and Co. (the ,Baukare ) of this check. Notice to the bankers is certainly necessary to perfect the title—" to give a complete right in rem., and not merely a right as against him who conveys his interest." Had the customer who gave the cheek become bankrupt, the amount of that cheel: would have passed to his Assignees; because, to make an ((tactual ansiese ilaanisios,,iit.ggirty:siii,oitii'hee.a:i:dhosa,:ftn;i„iiii,dsnfelil,lii.l,eci,ebesortcynsia,oneifun, sttoif,atl,iee everything bankruptcy eq o f t i t i 1: a e 1,,, a assignor, g t r a i or ; T e e . t7l:e L e l r e c a r s ' r t i l t l i e e s e Zuel admits y o ) f , — a n7l n i . r h o t a t e s el an the debtor of the assignment. Nor is the en - inciple confined to vases in bankruptcy. In " Levesedge te Cooper," 3 Russell's Rep. 58, Lord Elston, speaking of the case of " Ityall v. Rowley," rays, " The grounds of judgment are of general application." Lord Chief Baron Parker says, " That on the assignment of a bond debt, the bond should be delivered, and notice given to the debtor," and he adds, " that with respect to simple eoneract debts, for which no securities are holden—such as book debts fur instance—notice of the assignment should be given to the debtor, in order to take away from the debtor the right of making payment to the assignor, and to take away from the a,signor the power and disposition over the thing assigned." But notice is not necessary in such caves to give effect to an equit a -1 hate assignment of a debt between the parties, though it is so for the perpa c of preventing the title of those persons attaeliing, in order that they may not be deceived by apparent possession and owner. ship remaining in a person, who, its fact, is not the oNII,. See "Duke of Newcastle v. Ilall," and" levesedge v. Cooper," 3 /les. scll's Rep. ; and " Parke rine Hunt, v. Mortimer," 10 Barn. stda Cress. 47. I think, therefore, for the reason which I have g.veti, that in this ease the cheek will operate as an equitable astignment, and that proofs should be made fur the amount by Mr. Corvan and Mr. Doxsley jointly, in the ordinary form, for the assignor mid as• signet s I the debt. aIaiSeeFFOILD said tliat, after what now transpired relative to the payment in of the checks after herr o'clock on November 21,11 e had to state to the Court that the parties whom he represented were in a similar situation, but had been led into error by proving for the entire, upon deeositions prepared for the choice of assignees tinder he first ha'. Mr. Commissioner 1101.1101"D—lf the fa9ts be as they are stated, then there can be no doubt of the right of the claimants to be paid in full the amount et their checks. Mr. 11.1,11i.T0N said that several creditors sought to prove for " Companies," which so stood in the bankrupts' books, but these Companies had no charters, neither were they in co-operation by As tbf Parliament. He knew the parties, and had no objection to the proof, if the Court was satisfied. Mr. Commissioner Iloenoen. did not think persons so situated could prove, particularly - under tee provisions of the Dankitig Act. Mr. BacoN (the Barrister) said that he attended to claim upon the part of a gentleman named lkirton, of the county of Salop, against the separate estate of Mr. Geo. Anthony Wright 13idduaili, for the sum of 20,000/. Mr. Burtim claimed as sole surviving ex ecutor (out of four) of a gentleman named Plewden. The Lather of Mr. RW(11111,11 was also'..ttti(df the four, and the " executors' ac count" wee kept under that head in the books of Wright and Co.. and else in a separate ledger.

A fatalist discussion ensued, and Mr. Commissioner Hoersoen (erected the aftdavit of proof to be new made and entered, and it it should be found that any fur. they itivestigation into the matter would be necesseary, (rhea such an investigation should be at the expense of the estate. Mr. Becos saal he I ad three similar applications to make in be. half of creditors, but he would be satisfied to let them abide the issue of the joint proof. Mr. Ilemieroe said that the bankrupts were not reedy with their accounts, and he was rrquestee to mike application to the Court to allow some funds for the payment of accounts to assist in making them up. It would require at least a fortnight longer to get them ready. Mr. Iliddulph was unable from 111-health to attend to them, and Mr. John Weight's private aceounts were so extensive, that assistance was absolutely necessary to get through them.
