HAMBURGH. PROPOSITION OF THE SENATE OF HAM BURGH, FOR SUBMISSION TO THE BUR- GUERSHAFT. The meeting of the Bnrghershaft is at length decidedly appointed for Thursday, the 16th. Of the propositions that will be then submitted to them by the Senate there are some which are of immediate, and others which must prove of ultimate interest to s the English mercantile world. The following summary, drawn up from the notes I have made from these documents, will be found to contain every point of any consequence. The propositions of the Senate are contained in live sever al printed parts, and these are supported by detailed explanations, and a statement of the grounds upon which their adoption is recommended. PART I. By the constitution of this free city, the Senate and burghers may conjointly appoint a deputation to sit for any given purpose, or any given time, to adjust any de bateable ques'Lion on which they cannot come to an agreement, CV: which it ,may be conceived d es i ra bl e by each of therii should be constituted for any special pur pose benear:ial to the State. The S'r.ate propose, under this head (I.), that this de putation. -should consist of five of their own body, and tourteea of the Burghershaft. It 51!47 cities the functions and extent of the competency of the; . deputation.. 17 I 1 . o prepare reports to be presented by them to the Sen - af.e as propositions for the' Burghershaft, then to be subigJitted to them, if approved of by the Senate. A. On a plan for the reconstruction, of the town, the raising money, and the simplifying the expro priation law for that purpose. B. Fora general police law for architectural, Rre and sanatory regulations, respecting buildings, ware houses, and magazines of combustible articles. C. For the revision and improvement of the laws " and regulations for the extinction of fires. -2. Definitive resolutions on the following affairs : • - A. The raising money for the payment of the damage by the fire, by means of one or more loans: How to relieve the Mutual House Insurance against fire sisc.)diations. B. Authorisation to the deputation to allow im mediately the reconstruction of Certain streets, without prejudice to the projected plan. C. To make further dispositions, and urgent ad ditional modificatiiins, as may have been omitted in respect to the building and fire regulations. D. Delibersation with the Senate in reference to some principles to be followed by the relief coin , committee. 3. They (the Senate) wit, as soon as possible, bring the propositions of the deputation, if approved of by them, to the College of the One hundred and Eighty, and the Burghershaft. PART 11. Sets off with. a reference to the position of those Gil whom, by the Mutual Mouse Insurance, the lo s s wou ld fall, and the necessity of alleviating it by a general in. , demnity--.-to be accomplished. L By raising a state loan to the amount, pro maxim°, of thirty-two , millions of marks banco, on the easiest possible terms, without any limitation on either side as. to the time of its repayment. However, to accomplish this end, a sinking fund to be established, but limited to one per cent. yearly.. The loan to be raised on the credit and security of the, State. The deputation authorised to make arrangements to contract 'this. But before its final adoption, it must have the sanction of the Senate *and Burghershafi:. 11. How to raise the funds for - the interest of the loan and for the sinking funds. By a yearly additiounl fire insurance-tax of one per cent. of the sum hanured. L. The ground-tax (wlY.eh is levied in proportion to rent} to be abolished it j the town while the above exty o,ordipary tax exists . at, The ground-tax : 1 :or all remaining houses in the suburbs and territ.:exy to be one-half more. 4. The proprietors of houses burnt down are 'allowed to deduct 4 the amount per cent. of their former ground-tax. from the amount they would have to pay, according to subdivision, as übove, be cause these people. ido not take any rent. Whether a (nanutation of this one per cent. may take place, t he deputation has to decide, agree :in.' with the Senate. In consequence of the abolition of the ground tax, there arises a diAeicncy in this ordinary State in come, to be covered. 1. By a tax to be entitled a general conflagration tax of . 1842, wliich is an assn stsed tax to be raised on property and income. Sada a tax as raised in 1836 for some extraordinary expenses. It is now to be doubled. It was in the last-named period 2 per 1,000 inks ; it is now to be 4 per 1,000. 2. The import anti export duties, at present one half and one-eighth per cent. respectively cur rency, to 'oe now paid. in. 'the same figure baneo_ (4 mks. banco are 5 inks. .ct.) 3. Increase in the ta.cise duty on butter, fat, ritl Dutch cheese, at ce_ie-half-sehilling per lb.—. ,Hambuigh schillinK is nearly a penny English). • 4. The funds bith.ef to apportioned for the con structiGn and repair: .of roads to be given to the State Treasury, w;.ch ie exception of 40,000 mks. IV. The deputation, the Senate, and financial depart went, to regulate r..-onjoint ly in the first year how much of And at what time the efitraordinary fire insurance-tax o fj per cent. is to be rai.sed. V. Js to avoid a eon,tric Lion of the circulating medium, so thni - mit:, the luau raised is re-paid, in order to secure th o it t L vst economy, the original Hamburgh State pe.per-mon,:w to b received at its value, without the power of it; holder to demand spepie-for it. Such paper. is in issue, but to a limited. extent ; there is none under 400 marks. • . THE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIONS. The details and representations accompanying Part H., nze of greater consequence than any other, so that I h ae ~Itouglit it advisable to give their substance as far as possiblg, The tirSt paragraph of this documCnt justly alludes to the great importance of - this part of the propositions, After which it proceeds to the financial details. ',.. . An exact extract from the books give as a result the ♦alue of the houses burnt down at 42,000,000 marks currency ; towards which loss it is expected that for prope! , :ty not quite destroyed, the remains of houses, and :ruins generally, a sum of 2,000,000 may be obtain ed. Thus they bring the amount for cover ing tt ,e damage to 32,000,000 marks banco, that is 40.,000,000 currency. This destruction, although so gre at in amount, the Senate does not hesitate to de clare must be met in full and in ready money. This it is SI qtrcely necessary (the document says) to prove, the gen oral credit of the State calls for the obligation to be Atifilled.; but it will be impossible for the majority of the .insurers, on whom the Loss comes, to raise their quota oS this sum ; so it is adtrisable the State should undertakn this matter, whence arise several points for consideration. _ I. To procure the loan .of :32,000,000 of marks banco a foreign market .must be sought. On account of mercantile transactions it is not advisable to re move- - large sums from the money market, which could he done by raising it within the State. On the con.rar v. by the partial draining of the amount from abroad; she capital which is here in circulation, is increased. As to the terms on which a loan can be contraete d and the interest, nothing can be said, as this, must be L'ie result of negotiations. The new houses built with then alount of the loan will give an additional gua rantee for The loan will be raised on the credit of the State ; the particular way in which a guarantee is to be made , cannot be decided now. The State must await the propositions of the foreign money holders be fore they can determine anything. No reference, there fore, at preSent to their own views or intentions can avail any thing. 11. As to the interest and sinking fund. Stating it at 4 per cent., which is scarce to be hoped, and 1 per cent. the sinking land, would require a yearly contribution of I per cent.. of the insured value of all the houses in the town. This am ounts to 180,000,000 marks, such a tax on which would be 400 heavy to be borne by the house holders as things are now; so it will be necessary that the ground-tax be abolished. By the deduction of the ordinary tux, the permanent impost would .be from five and a half to six per thouiand. The ground-tax is four per thousand, thus by its abolition, and the substitution of the other, there is only about a half more proposed to be levied. 111. 13y the abolition of the ground-tax, a portion of the ordinary State income is lost. The deficit will amount to 750,000 mks., which must be supplied. The income and property-tax of 1836 must now be raised at a double rate. In that year it was by way of 2 mks. for each 1,000 inks., income under 1,000 mks. re maining untaxed. Now only income which is under 400 Inks. to remain untaxed, and from 400 to 1,000 inks. to pay 3 mks., and above 1,000 to pay 4 mks., by which it is cal culated Nvill be produced 400,000 mks. While Licreasing the direct taxes, attention is also given to the indirect, and it is reckoned that by the changing the one-half per cent, import duty, and the one eighth per cent. export, from mks. cy. to mks. boo. 130,000 mks. mere than formerly will be obtained. (The former amount was about 529,000 mks.) Butter, fat, and cheese formerly paid a duty of half a sch. per lb ; last year it was reduced to a quarter of a sch. It is to be amain raised to the former sum, whi c h w ill bring 65,000 mks.. The amount now deioted to road-making and repairs is 100,000 mks., out of which 60,000 mks. is to flow into a new channel for the purposes of the State. The above will cover of the deficit 750,000 mks., which it is propos,ed should be voted for five years. Ilr. The 'one per cent. insurance tax is not to commence before the end of the year, and is to be raised in several yearly rates No timecan at present be named for its • commencement. The levyit* of the two inlirect duties to commence with the first of July next. V. As long as these present extraordinary duties remain, the State must be secured by a law that the pos sessors ,)1* Sumter loans -(all levied in the State itselq should not have the right to enforce the epayment •of the priucipal, The Solvat e concludes this document ty eemanding the sanction of the Burghershaft to the whole of these propositions. PART HI. The Senate proposes that the great deputation be authorised to settle a plan, already laid down, and to ascertain what its execution would cost, as well as to warrant the State in proceeding to a partial or entire ex propriation. That the re-construction of the parts of the town burnt down be not allowed before a previous authorisa tion of the deputation. That the deputation miy allow the restoration of such streets where they find it will rot be inconsistent with the general plan, but even this per mission to be accompanied by the requiring the widen ing and s traightening the streets. That those proprietors who are allowed to rebuild their houses, mlist undergo the obligation to subject them se l ves W the expcopriation la*, in case they should be required, on account of the modification or alteration of the plan, to cede their property. PART IV. The Senate here inform the Burghershaft that by the late conflagration they have acquired some experience of many things, many defects and abuses which spreal the fire. For instance, wooden pipes and gutters, &c. For correction of these evils, and the regulation of the con struction of the new buildings, no less than 12 different propositions are submitted for adoption, and as a 13th he deputation are invited to further particulars. PART V. The Senate proposes that, conjointly with the burgher deputation, they should be authorised to name two of the members of the latter to the" relief committee," and that if circumstances and wants should render it necessary, they should settle with the Senate about some principles according to which the money is to be distributed. FUNERAL of SAMUEL HOLBERRY, THE CHARTIST PRISONER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—The sad news of Samuel Holberry's death in York Castle will have reached you through the local Rapers. ilolberry is the last victim of the refined tortures of our prison discipline ; and the second who has died in priori out of six Chartists who were taken in 1839 from Sheffield.' When taken away he was in the prime of iife, of athletic stature, and full of health. One shOrt year of close confinement on the tread-mill, under the silent system of Northallerton prison, sufficed to take away his strength ; and the second has completed his death. His friends repeatedly called the attention of the Se cretary of State to his case ; and in March last Mr. Duncombe brought it before the House of Commons, but nothing was done beyond removing him from Northallerton to York Castle, which in the end only proved worse. The reply from the Home-office, through some official subaltern, was, "The Secretary of State saw no reason to interfere." After an inquest had been held over his body, his remains were removed by his friends to Attercliffe, a small village one mile from Sheffield, where his discon solate wife resides. The news of his untimely death caused a deep feeling in Sheffield. His funeral took place on Monday afternoon, at the Sheffield Cemetery. The authorities of the town seem to have been alarmed at the public feeling in his favour. The military were brought out, and paraded through some of the principal streets with their swords drawn, in the morning, as if it were intended to intimidate, by this unnecessary display of physical force, the Chartist bodies. Everything, however, went off in quietness. At noon, hundreds began to wend their way to the places where the Chartist Associations were to assemble. The members of the Political Institute met in front of the Corn Exchange, and the O'Connor section in Para dise-square.. The funeral left Attercliffe about half-past two. A brass baud preceded the hearse containing poor Holberry's remains; playing the "Dead March in Saul;" then ftillowed two mourning coaches, containing the de• ceased's friends ; and after them the councils of the Chartists and their members in - procession; accompanied by a large number of spectators. It reached Sheffield abou l t three o'clock, when thou sands poured out of every street and avenue to join the procession and throng. The crowd was so dense that all the shops had to be closed in the streets through which the_ procession passed, and by the time it reached Sheffield Moor from twenty to thirty thousand persons were so lemnly accompanying the remains of Holberry to his last resting place. _ _ _ After the service for the dead had been read by the chaplain, addresses were delivered over the grave by Mr. Thomason, from the Vale of Leven, and other Chartists. The vast multitude afterwards gradually re tired. Next to the indifference of the Home-office in this case may be placed the local Magistrates. The worthy vicar of Sheffield had heard of Holberry's sufferings, and kindly exerted himself on his behalf. Through his influence the Magistrates had consented to sign a paper for his release, but foolishly delayed signing it until after some Chartist meetings about to be held were over, thus holding the dying prisoner in York Castle account able fur the conduct of parties over whom he had no control. B. M. [Another correspondent informs us that collections are being made for the distressed widow, Mrs. Holberry, whose unfortunate situation has greatly attracted the sympathy of those in Sheffield and its vicinity.] THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1842. an arrangement had been entered into between all the parties as would enable the insolvent to be discharged. He was then ordered to be sworn and discharged forthwith. A STREET FIGHT IN MIS SISSIPPI. (From the Correspondence of the New York Herald) Since my last, a duel has taken place opposite Vicksburg, between Mr. Fall, pro. tem. Editor of the Sentinel, and the " jintleman" whose big whiskers so alarmed the sensibilities of Mrs. Foley. Mistress F. knew that he was a " jeweller"—atid she was right, as the ladies always are. I was not present, but am"told it was a very interesting affair • but to make amends for-my-loss on that occasion,_ had the pleasure to witness • a- very pretty street fight here on Tuesday last,. between General H. Stuart Foot (Henry S. Foote) and a Mr. Fitzpatrick. You know General Foote ; you must know him, at least you ought to know him, all the world ought to know him, for if they do not it is a great pity, and he has lost a world of labour in striving to make himself known. He is a great lawyer, a great politician, a great biographer. and a great historian. - He com menced here as a great Jackson man. When Jackson and Calhoun qUarrelled he took the turn of the tide, and was a great Calhoun man. But this tide did not turn ; so he turned back again, and becaine a greater Jackson man than ever. Then the Anti-SUbtreasury tide began to flow, and he made another great mistake. Bui there is no mistake in him as a fighting man. He has fought, let me see—one duel in Alabama before he came here, when he was wounded in the shoul der ;.- two duels with Prentiss, wounded each tifne— that is three; one - with on Pearl River, makes four, one with Claiborne makes five, and the present street fight makes his sixth affair pretty well for a young man of thirty-five or thereabouts. This last quarrel originated in some severe remarks which General Foote made last summer, in a criminal cause, where he 'was defending the prisoner, and Fitzpatrick was the prosecutor. It is not true, as is generally supposed, that old women, over the tea table, are legally .privileged to slander and calumniate their neighbours. None have a legal right to do so, but lawyers—and they only in the face of the Court and Jury. And here they generally take the full benefit of the privilege—but most espe cially •sivhen their cause is weak—when little .is to be said for their own clients, they make up for it by abuse of their opponents. Foote abused Fitzpatrick, it is • said, and Fitzpatrick, knowing that he had no legal. redress, determined to take a little illegally ; so arming himself with a cane, a bowie knife, and a pistol, he took post at the door of a tavern where Gen. Foote was, and as the latter came out, struck him a heavy blow with his cane. Foote, though taken by surprise, rushed forward, and a scuffle ensued, and both. fell, Fitzpatrick coming off second best. They were separated by the bystanders, and Fitzpatrick being told that Foote was unarmed, demanded a fair fight over the river. Foote refused to acknowledge him as a gentleman, but declared his intention to be prepared for any further attack. This, in common parlance, signifies " I will give you a street fight." Now, I doubt whether you unenlightened savages of the north understand what is technically . called a street fight. 'You may think, for instance, that they had already a street fight. No such thing. That was only a rencontre entirely unexpected, at least, by one of the parties. But in a street fight, as in a duel, both parties are pi:epared; they go to seek each other, generally in the :most public place ; but, unlike a duel, each party arms himself according to hiS own fancy, and they skirmish, as they please, dodge be hind posts, advance, reel ide, videlicet, run—in short, a street fight has neither h tw nor gospel. Well, after the separation, each went to prepare himself according to his r own notion, and, in about two hours,- General Foote made his appearance in Capitol-street, ostensibly going about his own busi ness to the Court House. just as he was passing a little shanty, known as an " Eating and Oyster House, by Samuel Watts," -whiz came a bullet, - not very well aimed, it seems, t:qr it missed its object, and lodged in Sammy's sign-boa.rd. Thereupon, Gen. Foote' stopped, deliberately dres:v a pistol, and pre sented it at his opponent. A b ystander called out to him to take a rest. He did so; on his left arm, but the cap snapped. Fitzpatrick, who had been standing rather suspiciously near a pillow, now ad vanced and threw his pistol at Fc ote's head. This was better aimed than the bullet, for it took effect, but not so effectively as to prevent Fi tit,e from drawing and firing another pistol, the bullet ti om which struck the sheath of Fitzpatrick's bowie knife, glanced, entered the iliac region, a little belco the umbilicus, to the left of the linea alba, perforate( 1 the abdominal muscles and fascia transversalis, enter ed the abdomi nal cavity grazing the sigmoid fl exur e of the colon, and emerged at a point corresponding to the superior spinal process of the ilium. In the ex,litement of the moment Fitzpatrick seemed unaware that he was wounded, and attempted to draw his bowie knife, which, in cons equence of the ind ' vntation by the ball, he. was unable to do, he struck TFoote several times with his heavy cane:. and fell. he blows on General Foote's cranium • were nu merous and severe, and produced laceratin, Z of the scalp, with excessive sub-cutaneous effusion, symp toms of compression of the brain were sup e ri a .duced, and the profeSsional attendants were for a time 'doubt ful whether these symptoms were the result of a. frac ture of the left parietal bone, bordering on the sogit- - tal suture, with consequent depression of the bone, or the effects of cerebral sanguineous effusion pro duced by simple concussion; doubts were also en, Ler tained whether the severe blows on the poster; or portion of the cranium had not complicated the in'- jury by a separation of the lambdoidal suture. The more favourable opinion expressed at the time has been verified, namely, that the Symptoms, at the time so very .alarming, were merely . the effeel.; of simple concussion of the brain, uncomplicated Edith fracture. General F. has now recovered,: and a'Aends to his business as usual. His coolness and. bravery have acquired for him general sympathy and respect, and even his enemies have resolved to forcet his political mistakes. LAW INTELLIGENCE. PRIVY COUNCIL, July'2. ESCOTT V. 7kIA STIN. Their Lordships gave judgment in this case, which was ar gued last week, and which has excited to much interest in the Church, and among the Dissenting bodies. It was an appeal from the Ecclesiastical Court, in a suit against the Rev. Mr. Escott, Vicar of Gedney, in Lincolnshire, for refusing to read the Burial Service over the body of a ehild, the daughter of Thomas and Sarah Cliff, on the 16th and 17th December, 1839, on the ground that she was unbaptised—i. e. had been bap tised by a Wesleyan Minister, which, according to the ap pellant's construction of the canons and rubrics of the Church, amounted to no baptism at all. The foundation of the suit was the Canon of 1603, entitled " Ministers not to refuse to Christen or Bury," by which it was ordained that " No minister shall refuse or delay to christen any child according to the form of the Book of Common Prayer, that is brought to the Church to him upon Sundays or holidays, to be christened ; or to bury any corpse that is brought to the Church or Church-yard, con venient warning being given him thereof before, in such manner and form as is prescribed in the said Book of Common Prayer; and if he shall refuse to christen the one or bury the other, (except the party deceased were denounced, excommunicated, nt.yori excommunicatione, for some grievous and notorious crime, and no man able to testify of his repentance), he shall be suspended by the Bishop of the diocesefrom his ministry by the space of three months." The sentence of the Judge below was, " T hat the Rev. Thomas Sweet Escott, Clerk, be accordingly suspended for the space of three months from all discharge and functions of h s clerical offices." Lord BROUGHAM, of er disposing of a preliminary objection to the incompetency of some of the witnesses, on the ground that they had done acts subjecting them to excommunication, went at great length into the arguments on the part of the ap pellant, on which it was contended that baptism by a person who had not received episcopal ordination, was of no more effect than baptism by a layman, and that laymen were forbid den, by the canons and rubrics, from performing this rite ; that consequently the rite so performed was invalid, and the person receiving it unbaptised, and if so„ the ministers of the Church were not only justified in refusing to read the burial service in such a case but were bound to do so under severe penalties. Their Lordships were of opinion that taking Wesleyan and other ministers, not episcopally or dained, to have no more authority to baptize than laymen there was nothing in the Canon of 1603, or the Rubrics of Edward the Sixth and Elizabeth, to show that lay baptism was invalid. There were passages in each which showed that cases were contemplated, in which the attendance of a cler gyman could not be procured from want of time, or distance of place, and although lay persons were subject to ecclesiastical censures if they obtruded themselves unneces sarily into this or any other office of the Church, it was plain that the rite was valid by whomsoever administered, if done in the prescribed form, viz., by the sprinkling of water, and in the name of the Trinity. This had been declared expressly and repeatedly by competent authorities, and amongst others by Bishop Hooker, in his " Ecclesiastical Polity." It hail been contended that the Act of Uniformity (13th and 14th of Charles the Second) and the changes in the Rubric which then took place, had had the effect of making lay baptism altogether invalid, but no such inten tion was expressed; and as the old and the new regulations might very well stand together, their Lordships were of opinion that the old ecclesiastical law upon this subject remained unaltered. That this was not re pugnant to the principles and usages of the Church was clear from the case of marriage, which was a Sacrament in the Romish Church, and yet that rite might be performed by laymen both in Protestant and Catholic countries. In England it had been so until the Marriage Act of the 26th of George 11., and was so in Scotland to this day. After going very ably and elaborately into the other points, his Lordship concluded by expressing their Lordships' strong disapprobation of the language in which a judg ment of Sir John Nichol in a former case (in which he had come to the same conclusion) had been spoken of by the appellant, and "other reverend persons," and which he could only ascribe to " that heat of temper which is unfortunately too commonly found in theological controver sies;" and stated that the sentence of the Court below must by affirmed with costs. ROLLS' COURT, July 2. No caw involving any point of general interest came before the Court during the day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 1. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wra RA ) • IN RE SUISSE. His HONOUR gave judgment in this motion, which was a mo tion to dissolve an injunction obtained, on the application of the Marquis of Hertford, restraining the Bank of England from permitting the transfer of 4,0001. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.; standing in the name of Nicholas Suisse, the valet of the' late Marquis, who is now a prisoner, awaiting his trial at Newgate, on a charge of embezzlement. His Honour said that, except in a few cases which were expressly provided for by Statute, the Court had no jurisdiction to interfere, unless upon a bill filed. The Statute sth Victoria, c. 5, on which the in junction wal granted, was not intended to confer a new jurisdiction, enabling the Court to adjudicate on the rights of parties in cases where no regular suit had been instituted. The injunction which the Court was enabled to grant under the 4th section was only for the pur pose of temporary restraint, with a view of affordinc , time to file a bill. In this case the restraining order was issued on the 28th of May, after the distringas was removed, since which no step had been taken to perfect the proceedings by filing a bill. It would have been more satisfactory to him if he had felt him self justified in continuing the injunction, there being too much reason to fear that the order which he was about to make would have the effect of disposing of whatever rights the Marquis of Hertford might have to the stock in question. Upon the facts as they stood before the Court, and according to the principles upon which the Court exercised its jurisdiction, the restraining order must be dissolved with costs. Sir C. WETHERELL requested that the order might not be issued till opportunity had been given for an appeal to the Lard Chancellor. His Howoun. said he would certify to the Lord Chancellor that the ease was one of emergency. JULY 2. His Honour Vice-Chancellor WIG RAM was engaged during the morning in hearing unopposed petitions and short causes. COURT of ZXCHEQUER, July 2. (Sitting at Nisi Prins at Guildhall, before Lord ABINGER and _ a Special Jura .) THORNTON V. BYNG-THE GURNEY AFFAIR. This was an action for libel, arising out of the well known Gurney affair. The case appeared to excite consider able interest in sporting circles. The Duke of Bedford, the Duke of Portland, the Duke of Richmond, Lord G. Bentinek, and several other noblemen and gentlemen occupied seats on the bench near the Chief Baron. The main facts of the case are so well-known to most of our readers that we shall only refer, to them very briefly. Mr. Gurney, who had nominally lost and won large sums on the Epsom races of 1841, was unable to meet his losses in conse quence of various parties not having paid his , claims upon them. A number of gentlemen afterwards undertook to pay his creditors, and to thGio gentlemen it was directed, by a resolution of the Jockey Club, that the sums won by Mr. Gurney should be handed over. Among the debtors of Mr. Gur ney was Mr. Thornton, thepresent plaintiff, for a sum of 1,350/. For this amount Mr. Thornton delivered to the assignees of Mr. Gurney bills of exchange, with the condition that they should be returned if the creditors of Mr. Gurney were not paid in full by a certain date. It appeared that the condition had not been complied with to the letter ; and Mr. Thornton recovered back in consequence the amount of the bills he had given, by a decision of the Court of Exchequer. The . Stewards of the Jockey Club, however, namely, Colonel 'Vag, the Duke of Bedford, and Colonel Anson, who are the defendants in the presentease, were dissatisfied with the conduct of Mr. Thorn ton, to whom they sent, through their Secretary, the follow ing letter, which was also published in the London newspapers : " 7, Oxendon-street, Feb. 25, 1842. "SIR.—As you failed to appear when summoned on the 9th instant, and have not paid the sum of 1001., which you owe to Mr. Gurney on his Epsom account, I am directed by the Stewards of the Jockey Club, to give you notice that you will not be permitted to come into the Coffee-room Yard at Newmarket, nor upon the race-course there, until the bets due from you to Mr. Gurney, in respect of which you have been declared a defaulter, shall be certified to have been paid ; and that if you disregard this notice it will be enforced against you by legal process. I am directed to add, that information of this notice having been served uron you has been sent to Messrs. Tattersall. " The stewards at the same time expressly desire to have it understood, that they do not take into their consideration any contract or agreement involving legal liabilities be tween you and any other parties, nor any of the consequences thereof; still less do they presume to impugn or question any derision of a Court of Law thereupon. It is sufficient for them that you 'have made bets upon a race, and that having lost those bets you have refused to pay them ; and when it has been decided by the Jockey Club, that you are bound to pay what you have lost, you set that decision at defiance. You are, therefore, according to the practice of ' the Turf, a defaulter, and as such the Stewards 'deem it their duty, not only in vindication of their authority, but as an example as well as a protection to others, to exclude you from all places in the occupation or under the jurisdiction of the Jockey Club. I am, Sir, &c. " Richard Thornton, Esq. "C. WEATHERBY." This letter, as published in the Times and other journals, formed the ground of the present action for libel, brought by the plaintiffs. Mr. Weatherby, the Secretary to the Jockey Club was called by the Counsel fur the plaintiff, and admitted in his evidence that Mr. Thornton had not been summoned to attend certain meetings of the Club at which his case was inquired into ; and this appeared to be contradictory to the general un derstanding on such a subject. The witness, in the course of a long examination, also submitted that some rules of the Club were improperly worded, or that they had not, at least, been followed out in practice. The Duke of Richmond. Lord George Bentinck, and other witnesses, stated that it was not the prac tice on the turf to pay betting-men who did not meet their own debts. They had never known an instance until the case of Mr. Gurney, in which assignees had been appointed to settle the accounts of a defaulter. Mr. Thornton was the first person, to their knowledge. who had ever been published in the newspapers as a defaulter on the turf. Sir Tllomas WILDE addressed the Jury at great length on the part of the defendants, and called witness for the purpose, of proving that, in all disputes respecting bets, &c., between members of the Turf, the matter was referred to the Jockey Club, whose decision was held to be final, and contended that the plaintiff, in the present case, ought to have abided by their decision. Sir W. FOLLETT having replied on the part of the plaintiff, Lord JIBING/1E summed up the evidence, and the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2001. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 2. IN RE DANIEL BRITTEN. The insolvent's petition had been heard on the 15th ult., when the hearing was adjourned for the purpose of producing the lease of certain premises in Basinghall-street, and rendering an account of some furniture and other property. It may be recollected from the rep or t in The S un o f th a t date, that he had carried on a very extensive business as a calanderer and packer, in Tenter -street, under the firm of Perrott and Co., and had become bankrupt for the sum of 25,000/. Assignees having been appointed under the fiat, the insolvent instituted several actions against them in forma pauperis, by which they were put to an expense of upwards of 2,5001. Mr. COOKE, who appeared in support of the insolvent's peti tion, read an order made by Mr. Justice Vaughan, by which the insolvent was released from the claims of certain parties who represented the mortgagees of the property in Basinghall street, upon his paying the sum of 2001., and then contended that, with such an order produced in Court, it was idle to offer Ourther opposition to his discharge, unless the whole case, from the date of the issuing of the fiat in bankruptcy, was opened up anew:. •• Mr. Bourdelai, who was required on the former day to appear in Cou.-t with the lease and other documents connected with the haol'•.ruptcy, not being in attendance, the further hearing of the case was ordered to stand over to Monday. In a short time, however, Mr, Cooke announced that melt PRICES OF CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &c. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 1. Number Dividend of per Shares. Annum. CANALS.

THE LATE M. CALOMARDE, MINISTER OF GRACE AND JUSTICE. This celebrated Spanish Minister, whose death the Paris papers have just announced as having taken place, at his retirement in Toulouse, i s chiefly notice able for the very conspicuous and decided part which he acted at that time when the present Queen Chris tina, having intermarried with Ferdinand the Seventh, used her strongest efforts to obtain the passing of the Pragmatic Sanction.* M. Calomarde, then Presi dent of the Council, was chiefly instrumental in its abrogation, which appears for the most part to have taken place by his advice and concurrence. As this scene, in which he was the prominent actor, will tell best to his memory, and present a picture of him as a firm, decisive, and bold character, we proceed to draught out a relation of the circumstances. At the time that Grijalva was in the ascendant, and the King, waning in years, had just espoused himself to the present ex-Queen of Spain, now spending her days at the Court of Louis Philippe, that Minister made his appearance in the office of the Secretary of State for Grace and Justice, over which M. Calomarde presided, with private message from the King, directing the head of that department to send up the records of the Cortes of 1789 regarding the Succession. These papers having been sorted out, in consonance with this order, M. Calomarde took them himself to Ferdinand. The King retained them in his possession for nearly a fortnight, when he returned them to M. Calomarde, with a marginal de cree written upon them in his own hand, ordering their publication. M. Calomarde remonstrated upon the inexpediency of the measure, " Sir," said he, ad dre.Aing the King, "this measure is one which, above all others, will tend to encourage the Revolutionists, who are at this very moment actively engaged in conspira cies." Nevertheless the King persisted, and with a degree of warmth directed his resolutibn to be carried into effect. M. Calomarde was accordingly forced to bend to this command ; he forwarded it to 'the Council. On the 6th of April, 1830, it was 'published in the Royal Gazette, under the title of the Pragmatic Sanction, establishing the regular succession through the Queen to the Crown of Spain. The birth of Isabel, the present young Queen of Spain, subsequent to the enactment of this Pragmatic Sanction, and the speedilyy , expected demise of the King, were circumstances that' roused into immediate activity the energies of Don Carlos, who, seeing before him only the prospects of losing his right to the Throne, had already commenced his revolutionary projects. In September the King was on the verge of the grave, and he was desirous of forming some conciliatory measures with the Infante, who, how ever, unhesitatingly refused to hear of anythinc , but an abrogation of that law which dep r i ve d hi m of the next succession to the Throne, and which Christina had, by the Pragmatic Sanction, endeavoured tO se cure to her own offspring. This refusal on the part of Don Carlos made it a gloomy night round the King's bed. In their de spondency and anguish of mind the King and Christina summoned M. Calomarde to their chamber. Scarcely had he entered the room when, in the accents of despair, the King told him of the dangerous aspect which matters were assuming. The Minister con firmed the King's report, and further observed, that " under cover of the late changes many Revolutionists had again made their appearance ; and as their combi nations were kept up with foreign countries, it was evident that the crisis would end in blood." On the utterance of this word, an involuntary emo tion escaped from Christina, who cried out, " Todo menos eso—yo no quiero sangre," " Anything but that—l do not wish for blood." " What means have we then left," said the King, addressing himself to Calomarde, " of guarding against the storm that threatens ?" "To abrogate all that has been done to establish the Partida law," answered Calomarde ; " for then the hopes of the Revolutionists will be nipped. in the bud." "My only wish is for the wel fare of my people," observed the King; " your rea sons, Calomarde, have convinced me ; immediately, therefore, pen a decree, abrogating the late law ; but I enjoin you not to let any one know of it till my eyes are closed; and take care that it is not published or allowed to go out of the department of Grace and Justice." " But," replied Calomarde, "it is proper that the other Ministers should have cognisance of the fact; when will your Majesty receive them ?" " Ex actly at six in the afternoon.' Calomarde left the King's bed-room, and descended the staircase. Rejoining the Ministers, he informed them of the King's determination. Altercation en sued as to who should draw up the decree. Calo marde snatched up a pen—sketched out the decree of abrogation—and it was forthwith read and approved in a full council of Ministers. M. Calomarde then went to the King's chamber alone, and showed the decree. "Lo apruebo—esta mui " I approve of it—it is well," said the King. The Ministers shortly after assembled. Ca lomarde then read the decree in a loud voice. Chris tina took a pen and handed it to the King, that he might affix his sign manual. He asked Calomarde whether he should sign it in full. The Minister an swered in the affirmative, and the King signed " Fer nando." Such was, the scene in which Calomarde, during his administration, was the chief actor. The subse quent history attending this particular document is too well known to need more than reference. Shortly after, the King miraculously recovered from his ill ness, and then it was that, impelled by the present ex-Queen, whose whole ambition at heart was to secure the succession to her own children, he declared that this abrogation of the Pragmatic Act, which he had in the first instance passed and made law, had been forced from him while labouring under the lan, guor of death and sickness, and by a body of con spiring men. He called the chief men of the kingdom together, and made in their presence a public decla ration to this effect, and caused the Pragmatic Sanc tion to stand and be re-instituted as the abiding law. * The Sandia Pragmatica obtains its meaning and applica tion from its signifying the settlement of the succession to a throne by the absolute will of the existing King; pragmatic in this case having the sense of "assuming an authority of power by right, and without permission or leave asked of any one"—sanction, on the other hand, having its original sense of " an act of coal mation, which gives anything its obligator? , power or ratification." The two chief " Pragmatic S an ctions ' which history has recorded, preceding the one under present consideration, are-1. The instrument by which the German Emperor, Charles VI., being without male issue, endeavoured to secure the Succession to his female descendants, and which, owing to the refusal of the Elector of Bavaria to guarantee it, caused the Austrian war of succession, and subsequently that of 2. Charles 111. of Spain, when he ceded the throne of Naples to his third son, and his posterity, in 1759, settling under the above title the law for the succession of his family. THE LATE EARL OF LEICESTER. GENEALOGICAL AND POLITICAL NOTICE. Thomas William Coke, first Earl of Leicester, in whatever light his character may be viewed, must at least be reckoned amongst the most remarkable members of the Upper House. He was the eldest Whig in either House of Parliament, not even except ing the Member for Middlesex ; he was one of the most consistent Whigs ; he accepted a peerage in the 86th year of his age ; and after he had numbered three score years and ten, he espoused a lady young enough to be his grand-daughter, by whom he had five children. For nearly half a century he was the first commoner in England, and when he chose to become the junior Earl, he took a title which of right belongs to another family, for the Marquis of Townshend is also Earl of Leicester, and the Member for Bodmin, who claims to be the eldest son of the Noble Marquis, assumes that title, which confessedly belongs to the Townshend family ; but setting aside circumstances of this nature, the deceased Peer possessed large claims upon the respect of the public, and though his life was prolonged far beyond the average duration of human existence, yet his death will be deeply regretted by a numerous tenantry, an attached family, and a large circle of friends. The late Earl of Leicester was born on the 4th of May, 1752, and was married in the 23d year of his age, on the sth ofOctober, 1775, to'his cousin Jane, youngest daughter of Jame Dutton, Esq. His first wife was, therefore, aunt to the second Lord Sherborne and sister to the first. By that marriage he leaves no male issue. Mrs. Coke; who, had she lived, would .have been Countess of Leicester, died on the 2d of June, 1800 ; and after remaining twenty-two years a widower, the subject of this notice was married on the 26th of February, 1822, to the Lady Anne Amelia Keppel, who is third daughter of the fourth, and present Earl of Albemarle, her Ladyship being then but 19, and his Lordship 70. The surviving issue of his first marriage are daughters, viz., Lady Andover, who was "afterwards married to Sir Henry Digby, by whom, with other issue, she had a daugh ter, who married' the present Lord Ellenborough, from whom she was divorced in 1830 ; Lady Eliza beth Stanhope, and Lady Anson (mother of the pre sent Earl of Lichfield), .was also the daughter of the deceased Peer. The issue of the Noble Earl by his second mar riage, are Thomas William, now second Earl of Leicester (of that line), who was born in the year 1822; the Hon. Henry Keppel, born in 1824 ; the Hon. Henry Coke, born in 1827 ; the Hon. Wenman Clarence Walpole, who was born in 1828; rand the Lady Margaret Sophia, who is only ten years of age. At the early age of 22 the late Earl of Leicester, then Mr. Coke, was returned for the county of Nor folk, which he represented in fourteen Parliaments ; and occupying a place in the representative branch of the Legislature for more than half a century, he was for many years "Father of the House of Commons." He opposed the American war, the war against revo lutionary France, the policy of Pitt, and everything Conservative. He supported the Catholic Relief Bill, and the Reform Bill, and every measure of the Whigs ; but in other respects he was a staunch adherent of the landed interest. The deceased Peer's father was Wennifn Roberts, Esq., who assumed the name of Coke on inheriting , the estates of that family; he was only son of Anne, the sister of the Earl of Leicester, who erected Holk ham. The earldom of that Peer became extinct at his own death, and the nobleman just deceased was his grand-nephew. Though the grand-uncle's peerage became extinct in 1759, yet, as is well known, the title was not revived till 1837, although in 1784 an 'earldom of Leicester, as already stated; was con ferred upon George Townshend, who afterwards be came the Marquis Townshend, and this title is still vested in the present Marquis, and constitutes the courtesy title of the eldest sons of the Marquises Townshend. Neither the Coke nor the Townshend family, however, can claim any direct descent from the well known Earl of Leicester of Queen Elizabeth's time ; but the deceased Peer derived his birth from an ancestor of whom he might well be proud--the cele brated Chief Justice Coke. Amongst the families connected with the Noble Earl, are those of the Earl of Suffolk and Berks, the Earl of Albemarle, the Earl of Lichfield, Sir Henry Digby, Lord Sherborne, the Stanhope family, the Earl of Rosebery, the Earl of Mansfield, Lord Wa terpark, the Tenison family, &c. THE LATE LORD -LEICESTER - AS AN AGRICULTURIST. THE HOLICHAM LANDS AND SHEEP-SHEARINGS.— Lord Leicester, excellent Its were his political qua lities and moral virtues, will, perhaps, be chiefly known to posterity as the successful agriculturist and the enlightened possessor of a princely estate, whose example was beneficially felt in every corner of the island, and whose patronage could always be commanded by those who deserved it. Mr. Coke was, we be lieve (with the exception - of the Marquis of Towns hend, in the beginning of the last century), the first instance of a gentleman of large estate devoting him self heart and soul to agriculture, and commanding by his success the suffrages of the most experienced farmers. Before his time, the men who improved agriculture were generally gentlemen of compara tively small estates. In Scotland agricultural im provement originated on Tweedside and East Lothian with the second class of gentry, whose success led by degrees to the improvement of the large estates. It was reserved for Mr. Coke to show what could be done by the owner of a princely estate, who, with more ample means could emulate the prudence and care imposed by necessity on men of more limited fortune. We owe it to Mr. Coke that agriculture became a favourite pursuit with men of rank and fortune. His success preceded the agricultural pursuits of George the Third, and the liberal patronage of Francis Duke of Bedford. The circumstances which led MrJ Coke to devote himself to agriculture are both curious and instructive. They have, fortunately for the world, been imparted by the late Earl of Leicester himself to one of the most enlightened agricultUrists of our times—Earl Spencer, who, in the " Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England," volume the third, for 1842, Part I. (published by Mr. Murray, of Albem arle-street), has devoted an article to this most interesting subject. To this article, pregnant with instruction, we refer every reader who wishes to know all that the noblest of arts owed to Lord Leicester. When Lord Leicester came into possession of his estates, the whole district round Holkham was unen closed, and the cultivation was of the most miserable character. A large part of the land, which now forms Holkham Park, was leased to a Mr. Butt, and the lease was within two years. of its expiration. The farm had been let at is. 6d. an acre; in the current lease it had been raised to 35., and Lord Leicester offered to renew the lease for 55., but Mr. Butt ra fused the terms, upon which his Lordship was deter mined to take the farm into his own hands. " Thus," says Lord Spencer, " the real origin of the great im provement of the district was, that Mr. Butt refused to give five shillings an acre for land which now, under an improved system of cultivation, usually produces nearly four quarters of wheat per acre.' Lord Leicester was then an extremely young man, fond of and excelling in field sports, with a princely fort-are, and would not have applied himself to the details of a farm, had he not, by Mr. Butt's refusal, been compelled to take the tract into his own hands. " But," says Lord Spencer, " having taken it, he found, as every man who will apply himself to agriculture will, the high interest of the pursuit. His taste was formed, the habits of his life accommodated themselves to it, and, applying the whole energy of his mind to the collection and disse mination of all the knowledge which he could derive from practical and scientific farmers, he has effected the great improvements which, while they have been a source of continued happiness to himself, have pro duced the most incalculable benefits to the country. If, on the other hand, Mr. Butt had accepted the terms offered to him, Lord Leicester would have granted him a lease for twenty-one years, and for that long period of time, and probably much longer, no improvement would have taken place ; W es t Norfolk would have been considered a district in which wheat could not be grown, and, which would have been a still greater misfortune, Lord. Leicester might never have turned his attention to agricultural pursuits." Lord Leicester, being ignorant of farming, began by collecting around him practical men, and .invited to his house annually a party of farmers, at first from the neighbouring districts. At these meetings Lord Leicester's farm was examined, and, through the dis cussions, both his Lordship and the practical men were improved. In the course of time, friends from a distame attended these meetings, and from this small beginning we have the Holkham sheep shearing. West Norfolk was then a rye-growing district; his Lordship made it a wheat-growing district. l'he system of cropping was detestable. Three white crops were grown in succession, and when the land would produce no more, broad cast turnips followed. No manure was purchased, and very little was produced on the farm. Mr. Coke began with two white crops in succession, and kept thp land in pasture for two years in every course. But still he could not grow wheat. The land was naturally weak, and could be made to produce little food for cattle, so as to increase the live stock. The first thing to be done was the pur chase of manure, and he was induced to try rape-cake as a top dressing. But the most effective source of improvement was a stratum of rich marl, at various depths, underneath the surface soil of the district, which is a very light sand. Pits were opened, the marl dug out,. and laid upon the surface. This gave to the soil the solidity essential to wheat, which was first raised in 1787. Clover and other artificial grasses were raised; and the power of keeping more live stock thus obtained. With respect to stock, the only sheep in the district were the old Norfolk breed, a very unprofitable one. He first `gyred the Leicester breed. In 1812 there were still at Holkham both Norfolk and Leicester sheep; but since that time the only sort kept were South Downs. We cannot here follow Earl Spencer throughout his most interesting account of Lord Leiceitei's expo riments with live stock. His cattle were of the Devon breed, and he crossed the Neapolitan pigs with the Suffolk breed, by which he obtained the aptitude to feed of the Neapolitan, without the weakness of their constitution. In a district like West Norfolk it is important that more cattle should be fed on it for the sake of the manure, than bred on it, and Norfolk, through Lord Leicester, has become the centre of attraction for drovers from all parts of the United Kingdom. One great change was introduced by Lord Leices ter. Without leases farmers will not improve, but an ignorant or a knavish farmer may have a lease, and yet pursue an injurious system of agriculture. Lord Leicester introduced covenants into the leases. " Although," says Earl Spencer, "in the first in stance the covenant only prevented the tenant from growing more than two crops of white grain in suc cession, yet so great was the ignorance of the farmers, that he met with great difficulty in enforcing even this very , modified improvement of the old system." In Mr. Overman's lease, in which the modern improved land course of cropping, adapted to light turnip lands is introduced, is the model in which Lord Leicester's leases have been long drawn. Earl Spencer attaches much importance to the well considered covenants introduced by Lord Leicester into his leases. It was by the combination of judicious covenants with the long leases that he was enabled to effect such great improvements, not only on his own estate, but, by his example, in th e w h o l e di str i ct. Politics were excluded fre,m the Holkham sheep shearings; and though Lord Leicester's opinions were most decided, yet men of every shade of politics were heartily welcome to those festivities. The year 1822 was an exception—politics were then introduced-- and it was the last of the sheep shearings. But we must close our brief account of Lord Leicester. His decided politics might, at one time, make him enemies ; but the country has long done justice to him, and viewed him as a firm and uncom promising patriot, and a liberal and enlightened im prover of the agriculture of England. Lord Leicester moved the famous address to George 111. to put an end to the American war, and he was himself the bearer of it to that Monarch. HENTs.-11re are informed that several of !the land lords of shops and inns in this town are bout to lower their rents,—a measure which is felt to 10 m.cessary. in order to prevent the ruin of th e s h op k eepers an d inn keepers. The landowners would do well to follow the sample.—Leeds Mercury: A young gentleman, of good standing, in this neighbourhood, betted very heavily on the late Derby race, for which Coldrenick, Mr..Trelawney's horse, was the favourite. He lost several thousand pounds, and to the last shilling of his fortune satisfied his engagements, but his mind became so much affected that he is now insane, and in a mad-house, near Plymouth.—Plynouth Journal.

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) With the warm weather, some new bareges have appeared, t erme d b are es bayaderes ; they are equ ally light and pretty, of soft texture, s p r igged w ith flowers or covered in Arabic patterns; next to glaa, ee silks, they are the materials most in demand. Paris, white seems to be quite confined this seas on to evening dress. Embroidered muslins, India rough' s ' organdys, lace pointed, muslins and jannrots tlre d no longer visibl e by d a yli g ht ; silks and worsted materials in a thousand different styles are the y ' article in demand. Walki ng d res ses are genl made high, to wear with the transparent manteleth°e pelerine; the skirts are 'of prodigious width, and length as inconvenient as during the winter ; a e '' sleeves are fashionable for the house • in long 0 1; those a la Diane de Poitiers and the Amadisl ar e rnuc worn. The pointed corsages are almost exclu sively reserved for dress toilettes; the rounded point is wa r r o en neglige, and the ceinture with long ends. D inee it dresses are of foulards, satins princesses, pekins, you de soie, &c. A novelty in trimmings is a new style of fleu, c e made quite plain at the top, but falling in flutes at edge; they form elegant trimmings without lo adl ep i the dress ; they are very pretty in striped Pekin full and narrow ruches chicorees are much in favour for redingotes and peignoirs. Scarfs of embro ider . s; muslin are trimmed with Valenciennes lace, headed 131. a bouillonne, through which a ribbon is passed , earr e r sponding with the colour of the dress. Mantele ts made of glacee silk trimmed with bouillons, wits l ; holes, and forming very large round at the back. . o f round'pelerines continue to be much worn. Carnal l 9 .,, shot silk are also trimmed with ruches of the sare"'„, colour, and black ones with gimp. There is a t P d $ sent little to say about bonnets ; fancy straws au the new kind of paille de riz which cleans well, are A, principal novelties. Crape bonnets and tulle bo q bonne are very elegant and suitable for the mouraar% Capotes a coulisses are always fashionable ; they frequently entirely covered with tulle, which _ l B- o f them a very light appearance.
