This Light will be known to Mariners as a REVOLV ING LIGHT, exhibiting from one and the same Lantern light of the natural appearance, alternating or changing 'kith one tinged red ; which two kinds of light successively at tain their most luminous effect every two minutes, and t hereafter, becoming gradually less luminous, are to a dis -144t observer totally eclipsed for a short time. The Lantern Light-room is elevated 400 f,et above the medium level of the sea. The light of the natural appear 4nee will, in clear weather, be seen like a star of the first ; 1 411411de, at the distance of eight or nine le a g ues, and a t 'Net. distances, according to the state of the atmosphere ; but the red light being somewhat obscured by the coloured Sh ades, will not he seen at so great a distance.

One of them said to Sloane, " I am sorry to say we must seize your guns." Lavender, the head police-officer, was - not there then, but he soon afterwards came in with two or three officers. Up stairs Lavender in terrogated Sloane, as to where he was going with the guns. Sloane replied, "I am going to sell them in the town, if I can ; if not by private contract—by auction." Lavender said, " Where did you buy them ?" Sloane answered, "In Birmingham." La vender asked for the invoices of the makers. Sloane showed them, and Lavender retired, the Irishman concluding that he had satisfied his curiosity and ap prehensions. On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, Lavender and four or five police-officers came again to the Flying Horse, went up stairs, searched every room in the house, turned up the beds, and seized all the guns. The officers took the guns away in a coach to the police-office. On the following morning they told Sloane, that Mr. Redfern, the head-officer and pri. son-keeper of Birmingham, must " give a character" of himself arid M'Anulty before they could give the guns up. On his arrival at home, he immediately applied to Mr. Redfern, who forthwith wrote down to Manchester to Lavender to report the good character of the traders. On applying subse quently for the guns, Lavender admitted that he had received a satisfactory letter and character from Mr. Redfern, but put several ques tions to M'Anulty, whether the gluts in fact were not intended for Ireland, which M'Anulty answered in the negative. The guns were then giver. up to him by Lavender, but he was obliged to remove them at his own expense from the police-office to his lodgings. The Irish dealers have wasted nearly a month's time and personal expellee, incurring a loss together of :30/., besides the guns still continu ing on hand. The time wa - , when it was the high privilege and duty of our countrymen to be armed. Now the possession and removal of arms, even of fowling pieces and fire-irons, is matter of suspicion and op pression. The statute-book restricts the possession and import of arms as respects Ireland, but neither the 3d Goorge IV. cap. 4, nor any other statute, authorizes the seizure of any arms, but by warrant granted to information on oath. Is such a docu ment in existence at Manchester as a warrant for this extraordinary transaction ? And cannot the Irishmen maintain an action for assault and damages? EXTRAORDINARY SEIZURE OF ARMS AT MANCHESTER. The sensitive state of the Government and police of this country to the importation or exportation of arms to Ireland, will singularly appear in the narra tive of the following recent extraordinary seizure of "arms in Manchester, by the police of that town : Two respectable Irish hawkers (whose general residence has been for several years in Birmingham), engaged in the wholesale trade of hawking—i. e. not vending from door to door on a licence, but selling goods at their place of sojourn,—lately joined in a little hardware speculation of the purchase of some of the Birmingham manufactures. Michael Sloane (a Catholic), one of the two partners, has lived in Birmingham the last five years, exchanging Irish linen for hardware goods, vending them in War wickshire and Staffordshire, and occasionally north wards as far as Lancashire. He is a married man, and has only been in Ireland once the last six years. Charles M'Anulty, his occasional partner (also a Catholic), has resided in Birmingham about the same time, and followed the same business. Both are well known in that town, bear excellent cha racters, and could, if necessary, find bail to the amount of 1,0001. Some time at the latter end of September they joined certain funds together, exchanged Irish linens (bought in Birmingham with their cash) for various hardwares, including guns. Of one Birmingham manufacturer they purchased 59 guns, for 991. 14s. They bought 24 more guns at 10s. a piece, and 11 at 1 1/. : all of them were fowling-pieces, many with percussion locks; and sore double-barrelled guns. They had frequently before been in the habit of re selling guns thus bought or exchanged to Birming ham factors, particularly for the American export trade. The guns in question, were originally in tended to have been thus sold or swapped in Bir -mingham, and some few were so disposed of. But not being able to find the usual market for all their purchase in that town, the two men agreed to travel northwards. They determined on Manchester as their first place of traffic, meaning from thence to go on to Leeds and other towns.; and accordingly, early in October, sent the greater part of the guns by a boat of Pickford's to Manchester, taking some few guns with them by a day coach, and also tak ing with them a quantity of fire brasses—tire-irons made of brass. On their arrival in Manchester, they put up at the Flying Horse, Old Churchyard, and the next morning (Tuesday) they went round with a sample of one double-barrelled gun and one set of fire-irons to the hardware-dealer s and-gun-manufacturers, seek ing custom, showing the samples and asking for or ders previous to the arrival of the bulk of the goods by Pickford's boat. One auctioneer agreed to take all the fire-irons at their sample price. They sold no guns, however, all the week. On the following Saturday, the bulk of the guns arrived by canal, and were delivered by -Pickford's waggon, at their inn, about three o'clock in the afternoon ; they were car ried up stairs openly across the causeway, several persons in the street, as usual, standing and gaping at the arrival. Some by-standers, it is supposed, officiously gave information to the police of this im portant arrival, since, about eight or nine at night, some of the police came in, and inquired of the land lady if there were any guns in her tavern. She re plied in the affirmatiVe, in the presence of Michael Sloane, who was in the bar. The latter also told the officer he had arms in the house ; the officers asked if they were locked up ? the landlady said not. The offi- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

THE GLAMORGANSHIRE CANAL COMPANY The Court was occupied to-day in hearing the arguments on one of the motions conoected with this matter. It not_being concluded at the usual hour for The Court's rising, some conversation ensued, re specting the time' at which the arguments should be resumed. It was suggested by counsel, that it would be necessary for Mr. Blakemore to go into the country to procure materials fur answering one of the motions, anti that he could not return by that time. In the mean time he was desirous to have the judgment of the Court on the motion he had first made. The Lora) CHANCELLOR was quite ready, if the parties wished it, to give judgment in that case without waiting for the conclusion of the other mat ter. ills Lordship then proceeded to state, that the motion was for committing to the Fleet Mr. Rees, the officer of the Glamorganshire Canal Com, pony, for a breach of the injunction of the Court restraining him from deepening or widening the canal. Although the case was one of some suspi cion, yet his Lordship could not feel justified in re sorting to the extreme measure of committing the officer of the defendants upon mere suspicion, nor upon evidence so unsatisfactory as that before him. The motion must therefore be dismissed with costs. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov: 28. M'PHENEy V. SWEET.

The grounds on which this application rested were that the plaintiff and defendant were joint proprietors in the work in question ; that M'Pheney, with the consent of the defendant s bad employed a Mr. Stewart to edit a new edition of it, and that, in spite of this agreement, Mr. Sweet had engaged a Mr. Jarman to prepare a new edition of the same work, which edition he was publishing in his own name. His Hosocit had refused to grant the injunction ex-parte, and the case stood over in order that notice of the application might be given to the defendant. Such notice• having been given, the case now came before the Court again. Mr. HORNE (with whom were Mr. Sugden and Mr. Parker) appeared in support of the application. Mr. BICKERSTETII opposed it, and the application was dismissed with costs. MURRAY V. DUGDALE. This was an application for an injunction to re strain the defendant from publishing certain poems of Lord Byron. Mr. Murray stated that he was the proprietor of the copyright of Childe Harold, and that the defendant had commenced the publication of that poem in numbers, promising, on the wrap pers of those numbers, to publish all the poems of Lord Byron in one volume. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, having inspected the number handed up to him, immediately granted the injunction. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 28. FX- PA itTE NUNN. This was an application for aNvrit of habeas cor- Pus, to bring up the body of James Nunn from the gaol at Harwich, for the purpose of his being dis charged out of custody. The SOLICITOR-GENRRAL and Mr. SIIEPPERD now showed cause against the rule nisi ; and Mr. PLATT addressed the Court in support of it. The CouRT were of opinion that the convictio n was right, and discharged the rule. nor, DEMISE LEICUI V. LEIGH. In this case, which has been pending several years, an application had been made on a f ormer d ay to discharge ju dgment, as in the c ase lion suit. a rule for udgment, Si r J.s cARL ETT now appeared to oppose the rule; and Mr. ADAM, the COMMON SERGEANT, and Mr. KELLY to support it. The excuse for not proceeding to trial was, that the claim of the lessor of the plaintiff to the Leigh peerage was pending in the House of Lords, and that it was considered that that claim should be dis posed of before the cause, which relates to the title PRICE 7D. of the lessor of the plaintiff to the estate as heir-at law, was brouht on for trial. The CouRT, observing that such a cause ought not to be kept hanging over the head of a party for so many years, said the rule must he made absolute, unless the lessor of the plaintiff produced an affidavit, showing that he was barred by the statute of limi tations from bringing another action. DOE, DEMISE CAKTIIEW V. attENTos. Mr. BROUGHAM applied to the Court to allow the trial at bar, which had been ordered in this case, to be brought on in the course of Hilary Term next. Their Lordships would remember, that the Attorney- General had stated, a few days since, while the trial of the cause of " Rowe v. Brenton" was proceeding, that he should have no objection to allow the notes of the viva voce evidence adduced on that trial, to be made use of on the trial of this cause; and, under the peculiar circumstances of this case, he (Mr. Brougham) trusted that the Court would allow the trial to take place in the course of next term. Lord TENTERDEN said, the Court could make no such order. He thought it not unlikely between this time and Hilary Term, tome communication would be had between the parties, which would altogether prevent the necessity of bringing the cause to trial. EX-PARTE ROW. The .SOLICITOR-GENERAL was instructed to show cause against the rule obtained by Mr. Brougham on Monday last, for a writ of habeas corpus, command ing Mr. Henry Winchester, of Buckingham -street, Strand, to bring up the body of Sarah, his daughter, the wire of Wm. Row, or Rouse, whom, as alleged, he had detained at his house against her will, and against the consent of her husband. Mr. BROUGHAM (after speaking to his client) said this was a family affair, and it was most desirable to the parties, in order that the existing breaches might not be widened, that public discussion should be avoided. Mr. Row was, of course, desirous of having an opportunity of communicating with his wife, acid if that were allowed on the part of Mr. Winchester, there would he no objection to letting the rule be enlarged. The SOLICITOR-GXNFRAI. thought there would be no objection to the husband seeing his wife at the house of a common friend. The rule was Olen enlarged to the Bth of De• cember. ADMIRALTY COURT, Nov. 28. THE INDIAN.-WACES. This was a question as to the admission of the allegations on a summary petition for abstraction of a mariner's wages ; and the question was, whether the wages were due•under the circumstances of the case. Sir C. ROBINSON admitted the allegations, in or der that the question in this case might be fully argued on more specific facts. SECONDARIES'-OFFICE, COLEMAN-STREET. TItF KING V. FM'S AND CHAPMAN. On Wednesday a writ of inquiry was executed before - POTTER, Esq. and a respectable Jury, under an extent in aid, directing them to inquire what lands or tenements, what real or personal pro perty, negotiable securities, or other valuable effects, were held by Messrs. Frys and Chapman, at St. Mildred's-court, on the 24th inst. The first on which an inquiry was directed was one under an extent in aid for the sum of 14,358/. I3s. for monies due to his Maj,esty's Excise. Mr. Carr, the solicitor for the Excise, stated to the Jury the nature of extents; and Mr. John Edward Whittol, Serjeant of the Mace to the Sheriffs of London, stated, that on the 24th inst. he received a warrant to levy under the extent, and that he forthwith went to put it into execution. When he went to the house of Messrs. Frys and Chapman he found a messenger in possession, under a commission of bankruptcy. The witness found the sum of 13,113/. 6s. cash, tied up in a bag; and he also found other cash to the amounts of 5221. and 4681. There were also two parcels of bills; the contents of one parcel of bills amounted to 13,471. lBs. 5d.; another contained bills to the amount of upwards of 5,000/. One of the firm stated that there were also two promissory notes to the amount of 1,000/. each, which were sent out for acceptance, and would be returned on that day (the day of the inquiry). The total amount of the property found cash, bank -notes, bills of exchange, &c. was 36,298/. A Solicitor here said, that he attended as solicitor under the commission of bankruptcy, and that he should offer no opposition. He was quite willing to let the case go to the jury as it was, without any further evidence being received. Mr. Carr, however, thought it expedient to call Samuel Heath, a clerk of Messrs. Fry - and Chap man, who identified the property produced as hav ing been taken from their house. Mr. Wailbark one of the principal officers of the Sheriff, corroborated the testimony of the first witness. Mr. Carr observed, before the case went to the jury, that all the property found upon the premises was by law presumed to belong to the defendants, until the contrary was proved. This was found requisite for the protection of the public re venue. When possession of the property was given, under this inquiry, to his Majesty's Commissioners, any person who proved at the time of the seizure it belonged to them, would be entitled to recover it back, and might do so with facility. Mr. POTTER charged the jury, who found a ver diet declaring that the property in the possession of Messrs. Fry and Chapman, at the time of the execution of the warrant, amottnded to 34,000/. 12s. 10(1. The jury stated that the two bills for 1,000/. which were presented for acceptance, were not in the possession of the bankrupts. A writ of inquiry was next executed under another extent, for the sum of 9221. Ss. 10d., for money due to his Majesty's Customs. The Solicitor to the Customs was about to recall the witnesses who were examined in the last case, when the Solicitor who acted under the commission - said he would consent to the Learned Secondary n-ailing his notes of evidence taken in that case. The SECONDARY read his notes, and the Jury re turned a verdict for the same amount as that given in the previous case. A third writ of inquiry was next executed under an extent for the sum of 20,695/., due for taxes. The Solicitor - for the Taxes obtained a verdict for the amount as given in the two preceding cases, all upon the same money found, the same officers having executed each of the writs. The solicitor said, he should adjourn over this in-. quirt', im the hopes of being able to find more pro perty to satisfy this extent. The inquiry was ac cordingly adjourned over until yesterday afternoon, when the Jiffy resumed their sitting. Mr. J. E. \l'hittol,the Serjeant at Mace, produced some mare property which lie had found, consisting of cash to the amount of :354/. ; two parcels of Spanish bonds to the amount of 2,000/. ; three pa r _ eels of Phoenix Gai shares, one containing 50 shares of 50/. belonging to Mr. Joseph Fry ; another, con taining 50 shares of 50/., belonging to Mr. Jonathan C h apman ; and a third, containing 20 shares of the same nominal value, belonging to Mr. Wm. F r y.— There were also foreign bills of exchange to the amount of 2,0001. The Jury returned the value of the whole of this property at 2,494/. They valued the gas shares at 1/. each, and the whole of the Spanish bonds at 20/. The solicitor for the taxes said the value they set upon them was not very material. The solicitor COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday for the disposal of City business. Mr. Deputy SKIPPER moved a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, for the very able and honour able manner in which he had conducted himself, and managed the affairs of the city during his Mayoralty. Mr. Deputy ROUTH seconded the motion, which was carried almost unanimously. A second motion—" That the vote of thanks be printed, framed, and glazed, and presented to the late Lord Mayor;" and a third, " That it should be copied by the Town Clerk, and published in the Morning and Evening Papers," were carried in a similar manner. Mr. PEWTRESS expressed a wish to address the Court upon what he considered a breach of privilege. By the 46th standing order of the Coin t it was pro vided, that every member• of the Corporation should be allowed to examine any of the records of the Cor poration, and to make whatever extracts from then he might desire. The matter that he had now to complain of was in reference to the report of the examination of witnesses before the London-bridge Committee, which, it would be recollected, was ordered on a former day to be laid in the Town Clerk's•oflice, for the perusal and inspection of and• _ or all. the members of the Corporation, with an understanding that they would be at liberty to make whatever extracts they chose ; and this resolution, it would also be remembered, had been adopted after much discussion, as the only possible means of avoiding the expence of printing the report, which would otherwise have been insisted on. It had happened since the report had been lying at the Town Clerk's-oflice, that many individuals who were members of the Corporation bad made applica tions to make extracts; to whom the Town Clerk very politely intimated his doubts as to the authority that be possessed to allow them to make extracts, or to do any thing more than simply read the report:, In short, his doubt upon this point was so s,tr:mg, that he requested the parties making the application to abstain from making any extract until he had consulted the London-bridge Committee upon the subject. He accordingly applied to the Committee, and in a short time received an answer to the effect, that the Committee did not deem it expedient to comply with the request of the persons who made the application. Under these circumstances he (Mr. Pewtress) would now move, " That the Town Clerk be directed to comply with the 46th standing order of the Court, which affords a privilege to the members of the Corporation of examining and mai:- ing extracts from any of the records of the Corpo ration." 111 r; Alderman GARRATT se con der} tbe motion. _ Mr. Alderman BROWN thought the London Bridge Committee would have done th emse l ves i n fi n i tely more credit if they had granted the te.quest of the Ward of Bridge. • The Town CLERK should not have made th e de nial in question, except upon the authority veste►l in him by virtue of his office. By the oath taken on entering into that office, he was bound .at all times to exercise his discretion in the protection of the interests of the Corporation. In the present case he should not have objected to the parties vho now complained, having read the minutes of the evidence before the committee, or even to the hav- ing taken a slight note; but when he found that they meant to make large extracts of the questions and answers of that evidence, he felt himself bound to object, as the Court of Common Connell had n ot adopted the report. Mr. Alderman BROWN was satisfied that the Town clerk had acted conscientiously, but he was evidently mistaken in the matter in supposing that the report had not been received by the Court. Mr. JONES, the Chairman of the Committee,'said •that the " Court had only directed that the report should be accessible to the members of the commo tion, and had said nothing about their being allowed to make extracts. After some further discussion among a great nilm her of the members, the question was put, and a di vision took place, when the motion was carried by a majority of 29. The TOWN-CLERK although the present motion bad been carried, should still feel himself in the same predicament as he was before, with respect to the discretion which it would be his duty to exereiH•o e where a report had not been adopted by the Court, An amendment was then moved, " that rho' minutes of the evidence before the London-bridge Committee be considered to come within the mean t' in°. of the 46th standing order of the Court." The amendment was carried without a division. Rev. Chaplain GORST moved a vote of thanks to the Chaplain of the Corporation, for a sermon which he had preached previous to the election of the present ant and t Lord Mayor. that ci the isi d e ration of the vote of thanks should b e p ostpone d to a future day. sermon ground Mr. Rt of an a c i IAR Dstot attack kmade opposedl ein it upon the vote, the uponte, i, the London University, describing severa l of its members us more resembling madmen than any thing else. .. . Mr. CARTER snuld b h in e m ti e rsd as ed , that amendment t the o t printed, in After some discussion, which was not very audible or intelligible, the question was put upon the original motion, and declared to be carried. The LORD MAYOR then suggested, that as the (lay *as far advanced, the discussion of the matters it► relation to the office of Secondary, should be ad. journed to a future day. After a few observations from some of the mem bers, his Lordship's suggestion was complied with, and next_ Friday week was the day appointed. A requisition from the Committee of General Purposes, for the subscription of 100 guineas, in aid of the' funds of the London Episcopal FloatiNg Church Society, was negatived. The Court afterwards proceeded to the election of a collector of the broker's rents. The ballot com menced at four o'clock and concluded at half-pa9tovh en Rickard Cheeswright was. declared tta have been elected by a majority of 98. The Court then adjourned. Mr. S NO W, of Littleton, near this city, has in his possession a sow, which has produced the astonish ing number of 41 shoots within the last five months. The prize at the last Agricultural Meeting was awarded to Mr. SNOW, fa the best breed of this description of stock.— Sherborne Journal. From an account called for by the Finance Committee, it appears that England has paid, so far as cau be ascertained, about 5,000,000/. altogether, on account of the abolition of the Slave Trade, and that the Govern ment expenditure on this account, for 1825 and 1826, averaged about 300,000/. each year.
