PORTSMOUTH, Arnie 15.—The Cornwall transport sailed yesterday, with stores and provisions for the fleet at China. Admiral Sir Edward Cndrington has struck his flag, and gone on leave for two or three days. The St. Vincent and Victory, guard ships, are entering oluntiers for the navy daily at this port, and a great number are being continually brought here in the various tenders from ,other seaports in the kingdom. The Excellent gunnery ship is also entering seamen for the purpose of instructing them in gunnery practice, previous to their being distributed in other hips. The inducement held out to them is, that they shall enter for five years, to be instructed as seamen gunners, and irom them only can gunners and gunners' mates be selected. They will also be preferred for the situation of boatswain, if otherwise qualified, and all the refines of petty officers will be open to them. On being discharged into sea-going strips, they sill receive two shillings per month in addition to able sea-. ;nail 's pay, ,or that of any higher rating which they may hold. When their first period of five years' service expires, on pro ducing certificates of good conduct, they will, if they re-enter immediately, b entitled to four shillings per month in eddi tion to their pay as able seamen, or of any higher rating they may hold; and on the expiration of their second period of .:arviee, if they again re-enter, they will be entitled to five shillings per month over and above their pay as seamen or petty officers. From the easterly winds, which have been prevailing for This last week, there has rof been any arrival of homeward pected that many o f them are bound vessels, th o ugh it is ex now in the Channel. Woor.wici. APar4 Is.—The Mastiff surveying vessel, Master Commander G. Thomas, sailed on Sunday, along with her tender, the Woodlark, to resume the survey of the Orkney Islands during the ensuing summer. The Fearless steam-vess b el, Captain Frederick Bullock, sailed this morning, to resume the survey off Margate, and, (luring the summer, will examine the coast to the mouth of the Thames, tnd as far up the river as Putney-bridge. The Confiance steam -vessel left Woolwich this morning for Pl s mouth. The as trie Salaman downder s the riverteaeresso has had h er repa i rs comp l e t e d, and wthis morning. Th e pirnance of the Geyser steam -vessel has been fitted with a five-horse power disc engi,e, invented by Commander E. J. Carpenter, of the Geyser. The pisinace was tried yesterday off Hurgerford Market, in the presence of the Lords of the Ad miralty, and was found to answer very well. The Geyser is still in the basin at IVoolwich, and she is to be the model vessel by which other vessels are •o be fitted. Arrangements are at present in progress fix fitting the azimuth compass on her quar ter deck, under the immediate superintendenc e of Captai n Johnson, of the Royal Navy. The Acheron steam vessel is ordered to be brought forward for commission. The Styx steam vessel, Captain Vidal, is nearly ready for sea. It is contemplated, alihough the order has not yet been given, to fit one of her Majesty's frigates already built with powerful st am engines, for the purpose of facilitating her progress wren employed in transporting large bodies of troops to various parts of the world where their services may be re quired, and especially in 'cases of emergency. The Pene lope frigate, of 42 guns, at present at Chatham, is named as the vessel which vv-a4le first fitted out, and it is expected the engin es will bd'ilapplied by Messrs.

It is probable this is the vessel alluded to in the daily papers, extracted from the Mechanics' Magazine, and headed " New Steam Frigate, the largest in the world," as no orders have been issued by the Admiralty for the building and equipment of a new steam-frigate, as stated in the paragraph. On the contrary, the Geyser, steam-frigate, has given such satisfaction that she has been appointed the model lur steam-vessels of war for the use of her Majesty's Navy. In the event, however, of the application of powerful steam-engines to the Penelope frigate being perfectly successful, there- is every probability other frigates, of equal and of larger dimensions, will be similarly appointed, still retaining their present rigging, which will not not now 1r.., injured, owing to the discovery of the smoke con suming apparatus.

Captain BERNAL'S motion in the House of Commons, last night, for the abolition of flogging in the army during the time of peace, save for offences committed on a line of march, or for theft, was lost by a majority of 128—only 59 Totes being given for relieving the soldier from the degrading punishment of a brute, while 187 voted for the retention of this badge of disgraceful serfage. The Gallant Captain. supported his motion by an able and conclusive speech, which will make a far deeper impression upon the country than it did upon the House. He reminded the House that the opinions of professional men respecting the expediency of changes were always to be received with caution. Judges were humane, educated, expe rienced men, and yet such was the force of professional bias that they were the most opposed to any relaxation of the criminal code—a measure now universally admitted to be most conducive to an improvement in the morals of the country. He would educate—not flog the soldier; and he contended that education would do away with any pretext for having recourse to the lash. Sir HOWARD DoucLAs, although he opposed the motion, admitted that the diffusion of education would render the lash unnecessary. He shuddered to think how frightfully prevalent flogging was in the army, even within his own remembrance, but it was consola tory to think that it was falling into disuse owing to tho improvement in the morals of the army, and ho looked forward to a time when it would cease altogether 'We can tell the Gallant Officer that it will only cease when courts martial are deprived of the power of inflicting it. So long as Parliament allows such courts the power of sen tencing men to be flogged, they will exercise it, were it only to show that they have it. Where the question at issue is the degradation of a human being below the level of a brute—for an Act of Parliament secures im punity from the lash to costermongers' donkeys—we contend that nothing should be left to the discretion of a tribunal, notoriously constituted by persons having no sympathy with the accused. But the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh, whom to our great surprise we find voting with the majority, pleads the necessity of the public service. What is the meaning of this ? If the discipline of the army cannot be maintained without corporal punishments, it is be cause the existence of such punishments in the army prevents any but the dregs of society—or the desperate in circumstances —from entering it. No educated young man of spirit would enter a ser vice in which he might be condemned to a punish ment which would for ever degrade him in his own eyes, and disgrace him in the opinion of his comrades, his family, and his friends. Abolish corporal punishment in the case of all recruits who shall henceforth enlist, and mark the different class of men which shall soon compose the ranks of England's defenders. Fear never contributed to make a good soldier, and never will the British army be brought to any degree of perfection while dread of the lash is substituted for the principle of honour in the breast of the British soldier. The most miserable exhibition of the evening was made by Captain BOLDERO, who, now that his friends are in office, shamefully abandons the protective flag which he himself was ono of the firs' to raise over the heads of the British sol• dicry. He has changed his opinions, forsooth ! and now regards flogging as by no means the evil thing which he formerly represented it. General EVANS, while directing the "Isle of Dogs Expedition" against Don CARLOS, made a eonrert of him to the efficacy of a judicious application of a cat-o'-nine-tails to the backs of such vagabonds as serve their country for the moderate sum of 181. a-year. The Gallant Cap tain, with unabashed effrontery, told the House that he claimed a full and perfect right to change his opinions upon this or any other question. We at once concede such right. 'We have no power to withhold it. But we too claim a right in exchange. It is the right to despise —to regard with utter contempt, the political weathercock whose vanity induces him to accept the popularity of sincerely advocating mea sures while he has no hope of carrying them, but who abandons them the instant he reig!it claim for them the support necessary for their realization. Captain BOLDER() can no longer hum bug the country, and so he now throws off the ma: k, under the miserable, and, to the soldier, most offensil and insulting pretext of recognising in General EVANS, raggamuffin squad at St. Sebastian a fair specimen of a British army I But enough of Captain BOLDER°, to whose ctnstituents we recommend the following letter, received by us this morning, relative to his speech and vote last night :—. SI it,-I trust that you will direct the attention of the public to Captain Boldero's conduct on the amendment which w as proposed to the Mutiny Bill last night. The clause, whict, was so well moved by the Gallant Member for Wycombe, ha! for its object the abolition of flogging in the army during peace. On April 13, 1636, Captain Bolder*, being in opposition, seconded a motion for the abolition of flogging. At that time " he put it to the House, if they persisted in oantinuing cor poral punishments, whether they would not render themselves liable to the charge of having liberty on their tongues, and tyranny in their hearts !" Vide Hansard's Debates. April 7,1837 He again seconded a motion for abolition ; it was then "his firm conviction that by increasing the com forts of the soldier, corporal punishment might be dispensed with in time of peace."— Vide Hansard. March 26, 1838.—He brought forward a motion having for its object the possibility of finding a substitute for flogging in time of peace. He then claimed " the vote of a Gallant Officer (Evans), as he limited his motion to abolishing flogging during time of peace."— Vide Hansard. But on April lb, 1842, he having changed sides, and become Clerk of the Ordnance, " he feels convinced of the necessity of flogging, from the Report of the Commissioners who sat in 183.5 !" which Report he had before pronounced " proved that flogging might be abolished with advantage to the service," on April 13, 1836 Surely, Sir, this either shows that his love of place is greater than his love of humanity, or that his previous exhibi bitions have been gone up for the electors of Chippenham. April 16, 1842. EMERITUS. MADRID BOURSE.—Thero was but little business transacted on the Madrid Bourse, on the ith inst. The Three per Cents. were done at 211, 21i, 22k, at different dates. There is no important news in the French or Spanish journals received this morning. In the Madrid Chamber of Deputies, on the 7th, Senor SANcUES SILVA brought forward a proposition, calling on the Government to bring forward during the present Session the supple ment to the tariff law relative to cotton manufactured goods, according to the terms of the second article of the law of the 9th of July, 1841, which was, after a stormy debate, ordered to be taken into consideration by a ma jority of 110 to 10. The Debats has a long article on the efforts the winegrowers of France are making to obtain from the Legislature some concessions in favour of their industry,, which, as our contempo rary states, is of vast importance, inasmuch as one twentieth of the entire soil of France is devoted to it, and it yields to the trea sury, or in octroi duties, not less than 110 millions of francs an nually. The Debate admits that the complaints of the wine growers Are entit ed to the most serious attention ; but it charges them with exaggeration, and, above all with having assumed a menacing attitude, which is calculated rather to prevent than promote the accomplishment of their object. this journal denies that the exports and the domestic consumption of wines have declined in the way stated by the growers. In 1829, says tic Debats, the exports of wine were 1 million 84,699 hec tolitres, whereas in 1840 they were 1,330,000, and there has been no falling off in the exports of brandies, although it is tplite true that the trade in them has undergone no improve ment An intention has been expressed in the Marine department, immediately to convoke the members of the Hoard of Admi ralty, untier the presidency of Admiral Duperre ; we are as sured that this convocation is relative to the treaty on the right of search. A letter from the Hague speaks of a project to marry the second son of the King of Holland to the Princess Clementine of Orleans. This Prince is said to be destined to exercise the functions of Governor for the Grand Duko in Lux emburg. Will thi s p l an b e rea li se d any more t h an t h at of marrying the Prince de Joinville to a Dutch Princess? We doubt it ? Commerce.

Sta,—Being at Derby this morning, the town was in a state of great excitement, in consequence of this delinquent being brought to the County Gaol there, handcuffed to his captor, who resides at the village of Heanor, eight mile 3 equi distant from Nottingham and Derby. The captor, who keeps a public-house at Heanor, was turnkey at Derby gaol, when Good was imprisoned about ten years ago. Good entered his house yesterday, in the capacity of a beggar. He had a pass, which was pasted on a piece of black linen cloth, and he had attached thereto a list of all the towns from Chesterfield to Derby, but nothing about him indicating his previous occupation, or anything leading to a suspicion of his being the murderer, except his dress, which was that of a groom. When examined before Radford, Esq., Ma gistrate of Smalley, who committed him to Derby Gaol, he was very flippant, and professed to be familiar with him as a magis trate on the bench at Chesterfield Sessions. His appearance, in every particular, answers the description given of him in the posting-bills—his height about Mt. 6in. His captor, whose name I did not learn, knew him to be Good the moment he entered his house, and immediately took measures for his apprehension. I think you cannot have other information before this reaches ou.—l am, yours, &e. E. B. ROBINSON, Printer, Nottingham. Nottingham, April 14. 1842, THE GLASGOW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND SIR ROBERT PEEL. The folinwing is Sir Robert Peel's reply to the Address of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, approving of the financial measures of the Government " Whitehall, April 13. " Sir,—l have this day had the honour of receiving the re solutions which have been passed unanimously by the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Gla.gow, on the subject of the financial and commercial measures which it has been any duty, on the part of her Majesty's Government, to submit to Par. liament. It is, I assure you, peculiarly gratifying to me to receive this document at this time. " When I reflect that there is probably no torn or dis'rict in her Majesty's dominions which combines in an equal degree with the city of Glasgow and its dependencies the interest of domestic manufactures and foreign commerce, and when I am assured that that body which is the chosen guardian and organ of such interests has expressed, without a dissentient voice, its approbation of the general scope and outline of the measures I have proposed, I am confirmed in the conscientious belief that those measures are founded in justice arid sound policy, and I have every motive to persevere in the mainte nance and defence of them when the approval of enlightened men encourages the exertions which are made from the strong est sense of public duty.--I have, &c., (Signed) " ROBERT PEEL.

The reduced amount of the circulation argues badly for a flourishing trade, which has scarcely ever been in so stagnant a state as it has been during the last few months. The amended copy of the tariff is so full of blunders as to excite the ridicule of mercantile men, who view the document as one which they should be ashamed to have issue from their counting houses.

Corro x Ma artirr ' Aram 15.—There was some increase of d eman d at the close of last week, which has been steadily improving since, and yesterday the business was quite large, amounting to 10,000 bags; and to-day an active business was kept up. The low scale of prices is, no doubt, the foundation of the speculative investments, and of the general confidence which appears to be extending to the article ; at the same time, the great abundance of money is giving an easy facility for the importer to hold, and the buyer to pu - chase. Added to this, the pretty general h o p e an d b e li e f t h at the now tariff, when fairly in operation, will have a tendency to put us in motion, all helps in the same direction. Hitherto there is nothing in the way of encouragement from Manchester, and therefore any movement towards an advance is looked upon very doubtfully; still the common qualities of American are higher ; this description having been previously, depressed in the greatest degree, is sure to be th e fi rs t to f ee l the reaction ; th ese ki n d s are 4d. higher, and the others the same as before. The sales of the week amount to 39,030 bags, of which 12,000 American have been taken on speculation, and 1,500 American, 100 Pernam, 3.50 Surats, and 150 Madras, for export.

The Spite Melds ball is to take place at her Majesty's Theatre on the With of May, under the patronage of •the Queen and Prinre Albert, At a meeting of the Governor and Company of Copper miners in England, held yesterday, in Broad-street, it was stated that their coal-trade at Port Talbot was steadily in treasing, and their profit was fully equal to all expectations, 1,000 vessels having entered the harbour during the last eight months. SPORTING. The Windsor steeple-chase was decided yesterday, over a fine four-mile line of country on the Buckinghamshire side of the Thames, having upwards of 40 fences and 12 brooks, the ma jority of a formidable character. Upwards of 5,000 persons were on the ground. The race occupied fifteen minutes, Lord Drumlanrig's Cardinal being the winner. THEATRICAL. Vestris, Mrs. Nisbett, and C. Matthews, are engaged by Macready for next season at Druiy-lane; and Covent-garden, we hear, is likely to be given principally to opera, sustained by the high talent of Miss A. Kemble. Mr. C. Kemble, Mr. Beale the music -seller, Mr. Butler the husband of Miss F. Kemble, and another, are spoken of as the lessees. During the performance of the Pearl of the Harem at the Surrey last night, Mr. Hicks, the actor, was struck by a piece of detached scenery, and seriously injured.

It is stated that it Is the intention of Lord John Russell to secede from the Church of England, of which he has hitherto professed to be an attached member, and to join the rants of Presbyterianism. The Noble Lord and his Lady have for some weeks been in the habit of attending the scotch Church, Crown -court, Covent -garden, and it. is understood that they will partake of the Holy Sacrament at its next administration, according to the rites of the Established Church of Scotland. LICENSING PLAYS.—The Lord Chamberlain, through Sir William Martins, has lately addresssed a circular to the managers of the theatres within his Lcrdship's jurisdiction, en forcing a strict and uniform compliance with the requisitions relative to the submission of all new pieces to the approval of the examiner of plays, seven clear days previous to their first production. We find the following in a letter from Nuremberg, given by the Journal de Francfort :—" The King has ordered that some distinguishing mark shall be put upon th e h ouse which was ot:eupi e d by Palm, the bookseller, who was shot by order of Napoleon, for havingpreferred death in the cause of the honour and liberties of Germany to an infamous denunciation. ronmcGiv. The leading articles of the Paris Journals do not possess any great interest. They are chiefly on the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the criminal code, respecting which they throw out no new views, or on the question of the right of search, of which so much has already been said that it would be a sacrifice of space to give extracts. The France says—" We have before us a letter, written by a superior officer of the column of Mascara, in which he states that the division of General Lamoriciere took, in the last cam paigns against the Arabs, a case of arms of English manufac• tore. The fact is not new, but it derives a certain political significance from the recent succours afforded by Morocco." It is neither new nor extraordinary that English arms, which are sent by the manufacturers to all parts of the world, on specula.• lion, should find their way to the Arabs of Algeria. The France is not zware, perhaps, that in Syria many of the troops which fought against the English were armed with English muskets. The Memorial Bordelais of the 12th inst., states that the Cabinet of Madrid, in order to defeat the plans of the European Cabinets relative te the Queen of Spain's marriage, had deter mined te negotiate a matrimonial alliance between the eldest son of Don Carlos and his cousin, the youngest daughter of the Infante Don Francisco de Paula; the rank of Don Carlos's son to be recognised, and a pension granted him by th e St ate . A letter from Athens, M arc h 27, in the Augsburgh Gazette, says:—' , The explanation s given by the Porte to our Govern ment relative to the enrolment o' troops which took place in the Turkish provinces, are of a highly satisfactory nature. The Porte disavows all hostile intentions against Greece, and de clares formally that the troops were raised solely with a view to Syria. The troops sent to the frontiers of Epirus and Thes saly have been recalled, consequently our Government has also withdrawn its troops. A division of the French squadron under the command of Admiral Lasusse is expected." The Times says :—" From inquiries made at the India house yesterday on the subject of the fall of Ghuznee, as de scribed in a letter from Bombay of the Ist ult., we are led to believe and to hope that it may only prove to have been an exaggeration of the news last received thence, and that the country may be spared this great additional disaster. The [ writer of the letter referred to was General Brooke, and of its genuineness at least we can entertain no doubt." iarilMN Several petition s Pa wer at e presented I TAEY. ast night in the House of Lords against the Corn -keeping-out Bill, because it lets in too much corn, which rather betokens a strong opposition to the measure. As no la y+' on the subject would be better than either the old law or the proposed law, it would be advisable f,r the friends of free trade to unite with the agriculturists and throw out the Corn Bid. The Forged Exchequer Bills Bill was read a third time and I passed. The Marquis of Normanby brought under the notice of their Lordships a petition from Hul', complaining that their ancient privilege of appointing their own M ag i s t rates h a d b een invaded by the Tory Government. The Lord Chancellor said it was necessary to appo!nt some Conservative Magistrates, because all the 'Magistrates of Hull were Radicals, and he had appointed Conservatives. The Noble Lord attacked the Whigs for the appointments they had made ; and, after some mutual reproaches, the petition was laid on the table. In the Commons, on the third reading of the Mutiny Bill, Captain Bernal brought under the notice of the House the in justice and cruelty of military flogging, and moved a clause to be added to the Bill, to prohibit flogging except for offences committed on the line of march, or for theft. Captain Boldero, though he had formerly supported such a motion, opposed it, as did Sir H. Douglas, at whose predilec tion for flogging we are not surprised, by Mr. Macaulay, who seems to.) ready to support enormities which should be left to the Tories and by several other speakers. It was sup lorted only by M r . 0 . S tan l ey . O n a d i v i sion the motion was oss by a very large majority, and the Bill read a third time. As we need the services of our people in the army, it is not perhaps wise to repel them from the service, still retaining this odious and brutal punishment. In a Committee on the Customs Duties Bill, the question of imposing a duty on flour and wheat imported into Canada from the United States was discussed. Mr. Labouchere and Mr. Roebuck opposed that proposition as injurious to the co lony. Mr. Gladstone supported it, and on a division it was carried by 63 to 54, not a very large majority for the strong Government. The Bill went through the Committee, and the House afterwarsis adjourned till Monday._ PUBLIC OPINION. The Times thus congratulates Jonathan on his evincing symptoms of returning sense and moderation, as regards the question of the Creole, tisc. It is always with pleasure that we find ourselves able to say anything civil to our transatlantic relations; and we therefore lose not a moment in congratulat ing them upon the appearances of returning composure which the last news evidence. Already from the matter of the Creole some gleams of reviving sanity seem to be breaking upon their minds. The WErspite, with its valued freight, then just rising above their eastern horizon, seems to have cast already a dim dawn of intelligence before it. Already Jonathan begins to wonder how he could have made himself so exceedingly toolish. The south itself,' say their newspapers, would not go to war on the issue presented. The only question for the potent, grave, and reverend seigniors' (John Tpler at their head l) who form our first Executive Council is, how to back out from the ground just taken in the most graceful manner.' Doubt less it is a dilemma, and a perplexing one—the more so, be. cause it is entirely and exclusively of their own making. Eng land has had no share in the clatter. England has simply ab stained from interference with the cargo of slaves." We take the following from the Herald:_" We do not wonder that the propositions to admit fat cattle, at the low duty of 1/. per head, caused in the first instance some alarm. The agricultural interest were quite unprepared for it by any in formation on the subject, and equally so by any previous dis cussion of the effects likely to arise from so novel an experi ment. It was not at all understood how far the comparative cheapness of meat on the continent of Europe depended on the supply of fat cattlo, and how far on the more abstinent habits of its population. Inquiry has in a great measure removed this cause of uneasiness. fhe cheapness of animal food in other countries has been found to arise, not so much from the great supply of it, as from the lesser demand for it. The supply for the internal consumption of each country has of course in some measure accommodated itself to the demand ; and, as the ordi nary price is a sure index of the demand, we might have con cluded, from the first, that the stock of fat meat in any country would be regulated by the price of it." The Post says :—" There are, we know, many, and among them those whom we respect. highly, that think it were better that Sir Robert Feel should not adhere so sternly to the regu lations of the new tariff They regret that he has made his tenure of office dependent upon carrying them. It is a nice question. Without, however, asserting that all the regulations of the tariff are the best that could have beers devised, or even nearly so, it may be argued that, since they have been pro posed, it is better that the Minister should adhere to them. The restoration of the finances is not more important than the resto ration of the character of the British Government." The Chronicle has the following remarks :""." The most im portant alteration in what is ca ll ed the amended tariff, is that which postpones until the 12th October the admission of vat-is ou,s articles of animal food. The concession thus made is on many accounts not less discreditable to the Government than it is disadvantageous to the public. We have repeatedly de clared, not our entire satisfaction with the new arrangement of import duties, but our pleasure in the fact that something is thereby to be done for the great mass of the people. In this respect, it bears a different character from the other measures of the new Premier. It is his own good work. Perhaps the very circumstance of its being in contrast with the accompany ing propositions of the Government, has disposed us to appre ciate it the more highly. With proportionate regret do we find it belated as the only one in which the original plan is subjected to modifications at variance with the spirit in which it was conceived. Whatever presses hardly on the people is carried through the Legislature with a high hand; it is the measure of relief, and that only, which is found susceptible of change, and is pared down from its original amplitude." LAW INTELLIGENCE CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR. ) CATTIL V. SIMONS. The hearing of this case was concluded. His Lordship postponed his judgment. ROLLS' COURT. -(THIS DAY.) Lord LANGDALE, at the sitting of the Court, proceeded to hear unopposed Motions, which engaged his Lordship up to the time of our going to press. They were as usual quite devoid of any interest of a public nature. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) PEPPER v. BERNARD.! Mr. THEsIGER in this case applied for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had, on the ground of the verdict being against evidence. The action had been brought against the defendant for the obstruction of a pew in the parish of Dun mow, which was claimed as appurtenant to a messuage in Dun mow. The defendant pleaded—first, that the plaintiff was not entitled to the ancient messuage; and, secondly, that she was not entitled to the pew as appurtenant to that messuage. The case which was attempted to be made on the part of the plain tiff was, that there was one large pew appurtenant to the mes suage in question, but which, in the course of time, had been divided into three pews, which weredistingaished as the tenants' pew and the seri ants'pew. The claim in question was applicable to that pew called the servants' pew. In the course of inquiry, however, the plaintiff entirely failed in proving that which had been laid down as the plaintiff's case. There was no witness called who ever recollected the pew to have been in a different state to what it was at the present time. It appeared that the messuage in question, to which the pety was claimed as appurtenant, was an old farm-house, which originally belonged to a family of the name of Gellour. The farm-house had not been occupied by that family, nor the family of the Peppers who succeeded the Gellours, but the farm-house had b?en occupied by a tenant. There were some old deeds put in at the trial, the earliest of which was dated 1696, which was a conveyance of the manor called Bigods, and a capital maun-house. This deed was recited in various deeds up to the year 1765. In 1790, Michael Pepper took a conveyance of the manor from the Gellour family, and in 1796 or 1799, the date was not very dis tinctly proved, Michael Pepper, who was the father-in-law of the plaintiff, made great alterations its the farm-house, and built an entirely new and separate mansion-house. From 1796 or 1799, after the bu'ldi,ig of that mansion, it was occupied by Michael Pepper, w h o di e d i n 1813; John Pepper, the husband of the plaintiff, who died in 1822, occupied the mansion after wards, the mansion being perfectly distinct from the farm-house. With regard to the pew, called the principal pew, which w as no t the one in dispute, it a p peare d t h at t h at pew had been used prior to 1796 by two persons who then occupied the farm-house,and in 1799 Michael Pepper made seine alterations in the pew. It ap peared in evidence that in 1828, after the death of Mr. John Pepper, Mrs. Pepper being then tenant for life of the manor, went abroad, and during her absence an alteration was made in the interior of the church, by the removal of the reading desk, and in order to effect this it was necessary to remove some of the pews in the centre of the church, and amongst others the pew in question. The solicitor to Mrs. Pepper remon strated against this, and wrote to the Churchwardens on the subject; who apologised, and said that they had no wish to in terfere with the property of Mrs. Pepper, and that. if she wished it they would restore the pew to its original situation With regard to the only matter in dispute, the servants' pew, there was no proof at all of anything like a claim to that pew. It appeared that the servants of Mr. Wood, the tenant of the farm in 1799, had been in the habit of sitting in that pew prior to that year. At the close of the plaintiff's case, he ( Mr. Thesiger) submitted that the plaintiff had entirely failed in establishing her right to the pew. In the first place she had not only not proved the existence of any ancient messuage upon which the right was founded, but it had been distinctly proved that the messuage was not in existence prior to 1796 or 1799. The Learned Judge (Mr. Baron Alderson) summed up the evidence strongly in favour of the defendant, and much to the surprise of the Court, the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, first that there had been an ancient messuage ; and secondly, that the plaintiff had a claim upon the pew by is, eseriptive right. It was on the ground that the verdict was contrary to evidence that this application was made.--Rule granted. APPLICATION ECM A CRIMINAL INPORMATION. TIIE QUEEN v. MAtiNM. In this case, Mr. CHILToN applied to the Court for Mr. Smith, the gentleman on whose behalf th? application was made, for a criminal infosmation against the defendant, on the following grounds :—Mr. Smith was present upon the Com mittee of an Iron Company in the county of Glamorgan, at which none but members could be present. The defendant, however, intruded himself, and was requested by Mr. Smith to leave the Committee-room, which he refused to do, and on Mr. Smith expostulating with him, he desired Mr. Smith not to make an ass of himself, and shook his fist in his face, on which Mr. Smith struck Mr. Mal Ms. He then left the room, and on the following day Captain P owe ll ca ll e d upon Mr. Smith w ith a l e tt er f ro 111 r. Malins,. requesting him to appoint a gentleman to arrange preliminaries for a hostile meeting. On these grounds counsel for the plaintiff applied fur a criminal information against Mr. Matins, and contended that although the Courts generally held that the party applying for a criminal information should be himself free from blame, yet, that in a case like the present, where Mr. Smith received such provocation, and where such serious results mightjfollow, that rule could net apply. The Learned Gentleman cited some cases favourable to his view. Lord DENMAN thought it was a case in which the Court ought not to interfere. ANN CLARK V. WWILLIAM, GARRANT, AND PATRICK. In this ease an action had been brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 10/. for damages sustained by her in having her goods unlawfully seized for the poor-rates for the parish of St. Pancras. Mr. PLATT stated that a verdict had been entered for the defendant, with liberty to the plaintiff to move to enter a ver dict for the sum et 101., the amount of damage, if the objec tion taken at the trial should be found not to prevail. Charles Miller was the owner of two houses, situate Nos. 15 and 16, Denton -street, St. Pancras. He had entered into a composi tion for the payment of the parioh rates. Notwithstanding this composition, the defendants took the goods of the plaintiff, who was a lodger at No. 15, in execution, and to get possession of them again she was obliged to pay the amount demanded. The defendant pleaded, first, not guilty ; and, secondly, that the grievance mentioned in the declaration was done in pursuance of an Act of Parlament, and that a certain sum of money had beer► tendered after action brought for the grievance complained of. This sum of 6/. 9s. 6d. the plaintiff refused to receive, and issue was joined upon it. A notice was given to the defendants of the action, in which it was erro neously stated that the plaintiff resided at No. 16, Denton street, w i aereas it should have been No. 15, and this was made a groom' of ebjoction to the action, and was the objection re ferred to in the liberty given to the plaintiff to move for a ver dict. Their LonnsHirs held that the objection was good• CHEQUER.-(THISEA DAY.) ADLINCTON V. COLES. The ATTORNEY- UENEICA L appeared to show cause against a rule obtained in this case. The rule, which had been granted by 11r. Baron Parke, called on the plaintiff to show cause why a writ of execution should not be set aside, and why the money levied on the order so set aside, should not be paid to the defendant. The defendant was the son of the leading partner in the firm of Coles and Co. The affairs of the firm having become involved many year► ago, the plaintiff under took their management. After various transactions be tween the parties, they at length determined on corning to a settlement of their accounts; and the plaintiff on that occasion laid claim to a balance in his favour of 8001. The justice of the claim was disputed by the defendant ; and after various legal proceedings between the parties, the rule now under the consideration of the Court was obtained, and the accounts were referred to the examination of the Master. After considerable discussion ainoi,g Counsel it was finally agreed that the rule should be made absolute, that the judgment in exet•ution should be set aside with costs, that no further ac tion should be undertaken in the case, and that the accounts should be submitted to the arbitratnon of a barrister. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS I)AY.) Nothing of public interest came before the Conrt this morn ing, and the Court adjourned soon after eleven o'clock. REVIEW CO URT.-(T HIS DAY. IN RE PETER PYNE. Mr. M'CuRISTIE appeared in this matter for Mr. Abraham Haines, the petitioning creditor. For several years prior to September, 1840, the petitioner and Mr. John Evans carried on the business of provision dealers, as partners together, in the Borough. In September, 1840, a dissolution of the partner ship took place. Upon that occasion, Mr. Evans assigned over t• Mr. Haines all his interest in the partnership debts and effects. At that time there was a debt exceeding 1001. due to the partnership from 1 3 )ne. Mr. Haines struck a docket, and issued a fiat in bankruptcy against Pyne for the debt, as a soparate debt due to him. When he attended, on the 11th of the present month, before Mr. Commissioner Fane to proceed on the fiat, the Learned Commissioner refused to allow bins to do so. He considered that the petitioner's claim was only an equitable claim, and not such as could enable him to support the fiat.

Pryse, the petitioner (Liberal) duly elected, J. S. Harford (Conservative) having been unduly returned. LONGFORD. The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, and pro ceeded with the scrutiny, striking off the votes from the re gister seriatim. None of the objections were opposed, the sitting Member having entirely withdrawn from the contest. The proceedings being exclusively confined to examining the value of the qualifications of the voters, possessed no public in terest whatever. In the course of the morning, fifteen votes were struck off the register. WAKEFIELD. The Committee appointed to try the merits of the poi ition, Jose Lewis Fernandes and Lawrence Hitchen, complaining of an undue election for the Borough of Wakefield, met this morn ing at twelve o'clock, in the Committee-room, No. 1, Home Drummond, Esq. in the chair. Mr. Austen and Mr. Wortley appeared as Counsel for the petitioners, aed Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Kinglake for the sitting Members. The petition set forth that at the time of the election Joseph Holdsworth, Esq., the sitting Member, was by law the return ing officer of the borough, and that, as such, he was disquali fied for serving in Parliament for the said borough. That. no tice of such disqualification had been given to several of the persons who had polled for the said Joseph Holdsworth, Esq., and that, therefore, their votes must be struck off the poll as having been thrown away, which would give a majority of legal votes to Hon. W. S. Lascelles, the other candidate ; and the petitioners prayed that the said Joseph Holdsworth, Esq., might be declared nct duly elected, and that the said Hon. W. S. Lascelles might be declared duly elected as a burgess to serve in this present Parliament, fur the borough of Wakefield. The petition having been read, Dlr. AUSTEN commenced his argument in support of the al legations therein set forth, and had not concluded at the time we went - to press. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

MONEY MARKET ..nd CITY NEWS TlMES.—Another movement has followed in the Foreign Market to-day, the bonds of the Peruvian loans having fetched as high a price as 21. Nothing appears beyond the general confidence the speculators feel inclined to repose in South Ame rican States since the payment of the Mexican dividends, which could at all induce a demand for this description of security, which has seldom or ever attracted notice of late years. The easiness of money is no doubt the prime mover of these at tempts to create a demand for these stocks, but as for a justi fiable ground for it, there is none whatever, except in the ima gination of the parties who are interested in the experiments they are making. The same persons who have endeavoured to increase the value of Buenos Ayres Stock are believed to be those who are now working the Peruvian market, which they can do with some little effect with a small amount of capital. It may possibly be attended with no great deal of mischief, because no very -violent fluctuation can occur in the value of these stocks, neither can the public be induced to be buyers of a large amount of it, as the loans were in the first instance but a few millions of money ; but it may be as well just to state, that at present the prospect of a dividend from a revolutionized state like Peru, which has never paid anything to its foreign creditor since 1825, and whose debt, which is about §25,000,000, and has only :15,000,000 revenue to meet it, is far distant. The speculators themselves, being aware of this fact, can have little to complain of, should they suffer from a fail in price, and those who deal in Buenos Ayres will be in no more enviable a positien,l as, besides th e great arrear of foreign dividend which remain s t o be liquidated, there is the "domestic debt '' of 4,000,000/., which past experience has shown is generally attended to before any other is considered. It cannot be too clearly understood by the Legislature that delay in carrying the new measure of the tariff into effect is regarded by the commercial classes as the great evil to be con tended with. A petition numerously signed, having the sole purpose - of urging all convenient despatch, and not carrying a single objection to any of the changes that tariff will effect, has been sent up to-day from Liverpool, and no doubt speak s in that respect the feeling of the whole mercantile interest of the kingdom.
