ASTATEMENT of the AFFLICTING CASE of the THREE DAUGHTERS of the late Rev. JOHN RAUWORTH. The father of these unfortunate young women was Vicar of the very small living of Guilden Morden, in Cambridgeshire; he died in 1809, leaving 7001. in the 3 per cents. to each of his children. His family consisted of three sons and five daugh ters ; 2001. was paid to the succeeding Vicar for dilapidations, and nearly 1001. was unfortunately sacrificed is a legal process respecting the same. The expences of the education of the youngest son at school, and at St. John' ,. and Sidney Colleges, greatly exceeded the sum left him by his father; and in con sequence of injudious management, scarcely one penny of all the money originally bequeathed at this time remains. The eldest son was an attorney, and died some years ago; the second son (who was an idiot) died last year; the eldest _daughter was married, but is since dead, leaving nine chil dren. The youngest is married, and is with her child receiv ing parish relief from Steeple Morden. The youngest son was ordained last Midsummer, and had for three months the Curacy of Harlton, in Cambridgeshire ; from suffering absolute penury a year ago,. through no mis conduct on his own part, and from his great subsequent exer tions in the pulpit, his health became impaired ; and on Sun day, Feb. 1, after performing' double duty in the church of Barrow in Suffolk, he retired unwell to the Rector's house, where he expired the same evening. The three other children (who are the objects of this Sub scription, and two of whom are deficient in intellect) were re.. moved by an order of magistrates in a state of pauperism to the parish of Guilden Morden twelve months back : and had not the Clerical Society in Cambridge granted them 30/. last year, they would still be chargeable to the parish of which their re-' spected father was vicar. Whatever sum of money may be collected through the bene volence of the public, will be vested in the hands of Trustees for the sole benefit of the Miss Rauwcrths. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the Bank s o f Messrs. Alortlocks and Fishers ; and at Messrs. Deightons', in Ctimbridge. March, 1824. TRUSTEES. The Master of Jesus College. Rev.

Mr. SUDDEN renewed his motion in this case, that the order appointing -a receiver should be set aside altogether, upon the answer of Mr. Harris corning in. The grounds were, that the deed of 1812 was only for paying off a debt of 70,0001., which had been accomplished, except to the amount of about 30001., and that could be done immediately, if required ; that any other provision in that deed had not been acted upon for many years ; that quite different conduct had been adopted, not only by all the defendants, but by Mr. Const; that Mr. Const was quite privy to the intention of all the parties to the deed of the year 1822, to which he acquiesced at the time; and that many years before Mr. Martindale, under whom Mr. Const claims, had not only acquiesced in the fact, but particularly desired that the Theatre should be conducted differently to the provi sions of the deed of 1812; therefore it was hoped his Lordship would discharge the order altogether; because, if he did not, certainly would be the entire downfall of the Theatre. It had already had a lamentable effect, inasmuch as it had created a disposition of litigation among the co-defendanfs, Mr. Harris having had to file a bill against Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, for a specific perfornsance of their lease. Mr. liana' submittdd, that this motion could not be pro.. ceeded with; for this reason, that Pie. Ifairia had lodged an appeal to the House of Lords against the order of the Court ; therefore, Mr. Hart considered it impossible that Mr. Harris could be allowed to proceed in two ways at the same time with a view to obtain the same object. His LORDSHIP was at once clearly of opinion, that Mr. Const was entitled to call upon Mr. Harris, either to withdraw his appeal to the House of Lords. or if he proceeded with that appeal, had a right to say,. he had no business to come here on this motion. He would give Mr. Harris till Monday. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 28. UDGMENT.—ALIENS. DOE ON THE DEMISE OF THOMAS V. ACCLAM. On a former day the question at issue—.,namely, whether the lessor of the plaintiff was an alien—was argued, when Mr. TINDALL maintained that the lessor of the plaintiff MU not an alien, and Mr. PARSE maintained the contrary. The facts of the case were shortly these :—Previous to the year 1775 a British subject, named James Ludlow, was born at Rhode Island, in America, where he married, and continued to reside until his death. Subsequently to the acknowledgment of the independence of the Uni te d Statei by th i s C ourt, the lessor of the plaintiff, who is th e daughter of .James Ludlow, was born at Rhode Island, and Conceiving that she was a Bri tish subject never took any st e p s to become naturalised. The LORD CHIEF JUSTI CE this day pronounced the opi nion of the Court, that previous to the birth of the lessor of the plaintiff her father, James Ludlow had ceased to be a subject of tile Crown of Great Britain, and Clad become an alien thereto; and consequently she having been born afterwards in America was an alien, and not entitled to take lands in England by inhe ritance. The Lord Chief Justi ce observed, that the Court, in coming to that conclusion, had the satisfaction of being sup ported by a similar opinion given On a similar occasion by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. BRITISII PRESS. -LIBEL. --- -- Mr. Serjeant WYLDE resumed his argument against the Rule obtained in this case, and contended at considerable length that Mr. Chetwynde did not come into Court under such cir cumstances as entitled him to call upon their Lordships to ex ercise their evtraordinary jurisdiction. Mr. RUSSELL contended, that the Rule ought to be made absolute; but the Learned Gentleman was interrupted in hie argument at 3 o'clock, in consequence of Mr. Justice Little dale being obliged to attend at Chambers. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then informed the Learned Counsel at both sides, that the further argument must be post poned till next Term. RESURRECTION MEN. THE KING V. Jon ) , ~,,N Y. Mr. ADOLPHUS prayed the judg ment o f t h e C ourt upon t h e defendant, who had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having entered a church.yard with intent to steal a dead body. An affidavit was put in by the defendant, stating that lie was a poor labouring man and unable to pay any fine. The CouRT sentenced him to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, Clerkenwell. BRITISH TRAYELLER.--LIBEL. THE KING V. STOKES AND OTHERS.

Mr. BROODBN and others, from the Commons, brunt ht up the Marine Insurance 13111, and a number of Private Bills,which Were read a first time. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from Mr. Sttaird Cooke, relative to the Stafford Peerage. In presenting the peti tion, the Noble Lord made some observations on the petitioner's claim, the prosecution of which, he thought, would be throwing away money, as it was not well founded. Some conversation followed between Lords RADNOR, HOLLAND, % ..- 1 4 REDEs. Data, vihich was not heard below the bar. The Annttal Accounts of the East India Company were presented at the Bar bT an officer from the India House: The Earl of SHAI , TESBURY presented a petition from the Presbytery of Ayr, against the Scots Poor Relief Bill. TEST ACT. Lord HOLLAND held in his hand a petition on a very important subject. It was from the city of Chichester against the Acts of Charles H., commonly called the Test ancrCor- Poration Acts. These Acts had been' considered as the bulwarks of the church, and as they formed part of the law of the land, he would not further describe what he thought of them than to say, that in his opinion they had better be called acts to restrain the prerogative, and profane the holy sacrament. The subject had been before now brought before Parliament, and he thought it incumbent on the country again to petition against, and on Parliament to con sider seriously, the principle of those intolerant Acts, which were not only cruelly oppressive tOwards Dissenters, but were not reconcileable to the consciences of many members of the Established Church. If their Lordships turned their attention to the subject, they would find that in general all sincere Christians concurred in wishing a revision of those laws. He had another petition to present, from cer tain Roman Catholics in Ireland; but he should withhold it until a Noble Lord (Grey), a friend of his, presented another petition, signed by other Members'of the Catholic body, which, he understood, would be on Monday next. The petition he had to present was much more temperate than that intrusted to his noble friend ; the language of which, it would therefore ap pear, was not that which was universally held by the Catholics. The Newfoundland Marriage Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Scots Entailed Estates !Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Tuesday.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at three o'clock, and shortly after proceeded to the House of Lords, where the Royal assent was given by commission to various public and private Bills, for which see Lords.

MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY BILL. Mr. F. BUXTON moved the order of the day for the second reading of the bill. The SPEAKER put the question, that the bill be read a second time. Mr. GRENFELL said, - that it was decidedly his implession that Counsel were to be heard in this stage of the bill. The SPEAKER explained, _that Counsel were ordered to attend on the second reading of this bill ; but until the House had decided that the bill should be a read a second time, the period at which they should be heard could not arrive. Mr. GRENFELL was ready to pursue his opposition to the Bill, but he wished that the House should first have an oppor tunity of hearing the arguments of Counsel. The question for the second reading was Then put and car ried, after strangers had been - ordered to withdraw.- Counsel were called in, when Mr. Sergeant BosaliQuET, Mr. Sergeant TADDY, Mr. HARRIS9N, Mr.BIARRYATT, Mr. ADAM, Mr. CROSS, and Mr. A i.iiEusow, appeared at the Bar, in behalf of various parties interested in the measures Mr. Sergeant Bos A N ail ET was first heard against the Bill; but owing to the low tone of voice in which he' announced his clients, we were unable to learn for whom he appeared. .Mr. HARRISON was next heard on behalf of the London In surance Company, against the Bill. Mr. MARILYATT argued at considerable length in support of the interests of the Underwriters at Lloyd's. Mr. Sergeant TADDY appeared for the Insurance Brokers at Lloyd's, in whose behalf he adduced a variety of arguments. Counsel having concluded, Mr. F. BUXTON rose, and declared that the arguments of the Learned Gentleman had no way altered his opinion. He agreed that the shareholders of joint stock companies ought to be liable to the last shilling of their property ; but upon that point there was no dispute; the House, the Law Officers of the Crown, and his Majesty's Ministers, being all of one opinion. Upon the general policy of allowing insurance by joint stoeje companies, he was borne out by Adam Sthith, who, though no , friend to such companies in the main, approved of them as ap plied to that particular object. But a stronger authority in favour of the principle than the opinion of Adam Smith, or any other writer, was the universal practice of those countries in which the trade of insurance was unfettered. In France, to a very considerable amount ; in America, almost entirely ; in Holland, at Petersburgh, at Copenhagen, and at Ham burgh, the business of insurance, to a very great extent, was carried on by joint stock companies. As a proof that it was felt how much more desirable the security was of a joint stock company (in w hi c h a ll p ar ti es ' we r e ultimately liable) than the security of a c h ar t ere d c o m pany, or of single' indi viduals, the agent of a company at Paris had lately been in England, procuring insurances, upon the very ground that k he could offer a security better than, by the law of England, we could give at home. He (Mr. Buxton) hid not it question that, if once joint stock companies were formed, England (with her high credit and commercial character) would obtain alnipst a monopoly of the insurance of the world: And what objec tion could be urged against the Bill, beyond indivi t h ia l inte rests ? Men's houses and goods , . and their EY* were already insured by joint stock companies; and, in fact, such com panies for marine insurance did exist, though contrary to law, and subject, of course , to great privation and inconvenience.— With respect to the mere question' of eicpence, the saving by wishing to effect an in surance with such companies would be conside ra bl e; At and the agent (at a s p u r r e a s n en ce t, j a n m ix) er p c , l l ) o a n n , t vain agent,ottheetcoouhnistry cost of ten per cent.) employed a broker. The broker was, necessary now, because there was to be a dealing with many individuals ; but a,public company would be de a lt w ith directly,; and tbe ageney would be ipared. In the matter of 's se ttling, the advantage tO be expected was incalculable. As matters stood, an insurance was done at Lloyd`i upon a particular ship. She sailed upon a long voyage; and, in two or three years, I perhaps, intelligence was received of her being lost. The in- PRICE gtVS"P.INTti. surer living ,in- the country, looked at once, as a matter of course, ,to ; the settlement of his policy ; but he , fotind - one underwriter probably dead, and his executors'(troublesom e pee pig generally) were to be dealt with ; a second was insolvent ; a third• litigious, and-ready to defeat' an action. The' difficul ties encountered in this 'way --were frequent tend serious.- He (Mr. Buxton) held a list of . • policies in .his hand, dont,' to the amount of 1500001., between the years -1810 and 1814 and there was - not one of them in which there had not been a death, or an insolvency, or a suit, prier to settlement. In ono case._ • upon . a policy of 141,000/..thirty-flve . - different actions had been brought, Now; with a ptiblie Company , (a JeintSteek Company), three-fourth s o f the eril was avoided. A Com p Any could not die ; its inSblVency was in the Very highest degree improbable ; and in case 'or litigation, one action was brought initead of twenty. Under such circumstances, there could be no doubt that insurances with Companies would be preferred . ; and it w a s hard that the mei cliants'oflng land should not, like the merchants or other countries, be al lowed to take that security which they thought most advan tageous to them. The Hon. Member concluded by contend., ing, , that the - two chartered Companies (the Royal Exchange and London Assurance) had ,no tide to be heard against the progress of his bill. The Chartering of those bodies had commenced in a jell), and their povfers had. Continued longer than they had a • right to hope for. Personally, he desired to speak with great respect of these companies, and the partiei. connected with them ; but the terms of their charter wer e di st i nct l y n o more than tllese—they *ere to pay down the sum of 300,000/. to Go vernment, for a monopoly of the insurance business for 31 years ; compensation to be made, if Parliament• thought fit, within those 31 years, to withdraw their powers. Instead of 300,0001., they had, in fact, never paid more than 120,001)1. ; their term of 31 years had been exceeded three times over ; and they cer tainly had no right to co m pl a i n if th e i r exclusive privilegea were no longer continued. Mr. GRENFELL contended against the institution of joint stock companies for the business of marine insurance, and thought that they offered none of that extraordinary security : attributed to them by' he Hon. Member for Weymouth.- Of the Alliance Company, for instance, as a Joint-stock companyi he wished to speak with great' respect; but the prospectus issued by that body claimed to have a capital of 5,000,0001., while in fact its capital was only 500,000/. Taking the re mote liability of parties into consideration, he 'could not doubt of the Company's solvency, while he saw such names con nected with it a s tho se o f Baring, Rothschild, and Alexan der; but the shares, it was to be recollected, were transfer able ; the alliance of those Gentlemen could not be counted upon for an hour ; a single atroke of the pen put an end to their liability altogether, and left the public exposed_ to that risk which had been incurred in a reliance upon their . suffi ciency. The Hon. Gentleman, after denying ti at he -Was in fluenced by any personal feeling upon the question, proceeded to combat the right of Parliament to interfere (at this time Ofdayy with the chartered insurance companies. Their charter upon payment of a v a l ua bl e cons id erat i o n , h a d b een granted 31 years, with power ofrevocation by Parliament, within .. tlic%3l years, on repayment of such c o ns id era ti on; b ut , after tbe expi ration of those 31 . years, .as the Act of Parliament expressly stated; the charters could only be revoked by an application to the King in- Council. This was not ,a new statement to the House, nor was the attempt to invade the right of these Companies new. In the year 1806 the Globe Insurance Com pany had brought in a Bill. to do what the Alliance Com pany was trying to do now; that Bill, he (Mr. Grenfell) had opposed, and it lad been thrown out. Again, in the year 1810, a similar Bill brought in by a body of merchants had failed. In his opposition to those invasions of the old charters, he had been supported by the joint opinions of Mr. Perceval, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Vicary Gibbs, and Sir Thomas Plomer. They had been resisted upon the ground that the Act of Parliament distinctly showed-the course, and the only course, by which the rights of the chartered.com panies could be affected ; an application had afterward!' been made to the King in Council on the subject, and uponiome observation dropped by the late Lord kllenboroi , gh,• it had been allowed to die away. Mr. Grenfell sat'down by declar ing that it would be a breach of public faith committed by Parliament, if the privileges of the chartered companYs were abridged, except by immediate interferance from-the Throne. Mr. H. GURNEY thought is well worth the consideration . of the House, whether it would be proper or not to permit-the same Company to effect Marine Insurances and Insurances on' Lives. -. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not at preSent see upon what principle of equity.or justice the Bill of the Hon. Member for Weymouth could be objected.to.: His own opinion had been long since expressed for in the year 1813 he had been favourable to repealing the exclusive privi leges of the two chartered companies, who had not cuite so' good a case to retain those- powers as the lion. Member for Penryn seemed to suppose. l'he companies had a gree d to. pay 300,0001., and they had paid something under 120,11001. Their rights were to have lasted 31 years ; and they had beenTcoh tinued more than three times 31 years: With respect to . the revocation of the powers in question by the Crown, the compa nies stood in this situation of difficulty—if the Crown revoked, it must revoke the whole; it could not take back the exclusive rights of the companies, without depriving them of their rights altogether. If it revoked at all, it must revoke absolutely their power to insure,' as well as their monopoly of that power. " It had been thought right, under such circumstances, to come:to obtained, and n fo a re d r in j m us e t a i s c u et , o by which ;,h th ie e e s nd desired avoided. Thinking w co h m ie p h that much good would be effected by . the repeal of a privilege, of which the parties holding it had made very little nse, be certainly should be disposed to vote for the Bill before the House. Mr. T. WILSON considered the question of greitt import ance. He thought the Hon. Member for Weymouth (Mr. P. Buxton) was incorrect in supposing, that if this. Bill should `pass England would be the mart of the world for marine. in surances. The profits of the underwriters were indeed very low—to use a vulgar phrase, they Were under the necessity of skinning flints. The lion. Member alluded to the marine in surance companies established in France, and then adverted to the topics introduced by the Hon. _Member (Mr. F, Buitou) as the t o in t s he ura l n i t c i e g s at e i fr o e n an effected at inconveniency atiloyd,s which .liedefendc had en defended the e s e u s ed sab fm li r s o h. • ment at Lloyd's; and contended that there was no necessity fOr thepresent Bill, which he could not but consider as unjust to wards the old established companies. Mr. HUME was disposed to think that much snore - had been made of the business than it deserved. He was inclined to consider the situation of the two companies in the same light as individuals. They had not complied with the stipulations, and had enjoyed the benefit of 31 years in the possession of their rights. When these years had expired, they were mere tenants at will. He would beg leave to ask if any Hon. Member could defend that or a similar privilege in principle? The Bight Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had trewed the companies very fairly. He had in substance said, "We will not say what we Might 'advise the Crown to.de, but we will give a privilege to other comPieseanies to do what seems not- of in this proceeding, and he was persuaded that th e ' me a sure was ca l cu l ate d to b ene fit th e much verhtn ienantporta were importance to tin y g ouZi w llf l Ai.,HumeYbelieved that Go il Public, and was not likely to injure any individuals. • no. f 3 ; e : b in e : a n t : e t e . the part of these niencc or injury • - . acri N o V sniin O pag O rif D iroesin. had roy n u c l v d e . r . h y ea ko l He himself had never sustained J.
