The Lord Chancellor did not take his seat in his Court at Westminster to•day till nearly half-past 11 o'clock. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF LUDLOW. —JUDGIU EN T. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the information had been filed for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the Court to carry into effect a compromise for the exchange of certain lands belonging to the Corporation of Ludlow, for which purpose an Act of Parliament had passed. The question for the consideration of the Court was, whether the compromise would be beneficial to the charity ; his Lordship thought that it would be so, but as the identity of the lands granted to the Corporation by the Charters of Edward IV. and Edward VI., had not, in his Lordship's opinion, been sufficiently investigated ; and as the Attorney- General's sanction to the compromise had been ob tained, he thought theproper course would be to refer it back to the Master in the same manner as. before, with the exception of directing his particular attention to the identity of the land. The costs must be re served, and the petitioner must have liberty to attend before the Master. The COURT then proceeded with the part-heard appeal of " Prendergast v. Turton." VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY). (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) TIIE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HOLLAND. An application was made for the petitioner in this case to be heard before the Vice-Chancellor, it having been partly heard before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The original decree was to settle the scheme of a charity, founded in the time of the Common wealth, in favour, it was supposed, of decayed Royalists, but now applied for the benefit of decayed gentlemen—bene nati et bene vestiti—of the county of Essex. The decree in the case was made three or four years ago, and a petition was presented to the Lord Chancellor for a separate report, but no separate report having been made, the case was set down for hearing before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. He declined to make any order, and nothing had been done to wards the case. It was now prayed that the petition might be heard in his Honour's Court. — Ordered to stand over, with liberty to make an appli cation. HEMMINGWAY V. FERNANDEZ. This great coal mine and right of railway passage, in which the Solicitor-General concluded his reply on the part of the defendants on Saturday, came on again this morning, and probably will occupy the whole of the.day. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The COURT took the new trial paper this morning. No case of the slightest interest had come on up to the time we went to press. EXCHEQUER COURT—THIS DAY. The Court at its sitting proceeded to take the special paper. The arguments to which the cases gave rise were, as usual, almost exclusively of a merely tech nical character. ACKERMAN V. COOPER AND OTHERS. This was an action for the recovery of two receipts, for the sum of 10,0001. To the plaintiff's declaration the defendants, for the purpose of narrowing the issue, pleaded a special plea, to the effect that they had been lawfully pos sessed of theltwo:receipts in question ; that the plaintiff had lost the said receipts odd his possession ; and the defendants refused to give up the receipts. To this plea of the defendants there was a special de murrer on the part of the plaintiff, showing that the defendants neither traversed the action, nor confessed the matter contained in the declaration ; and also that the plea neither confessed nor showed any title on the part of the defendants. The COURT, after hearing the arguments of counsel, decided that the plea of the defendants was a bad one. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) COUSINS AND OTIIERS, V. THE EARL OF UXBRIDGE. Sir J. BAYLEY applied in this case on behalf of the Sheriff of Hertfordshire ' for a rule to show cause why further time should rot be allowed him to return the writs until the plaintiffs directed in what priority they wished them to be execut3d. On the 4th of October five writs for execut'ol were issued against the de fendant by the same attorney, Mr. Columbine, and 1.51/. was levied un:•7clem, which satisfied the plain tiffs. On the Bth 01 o.:tober Mr. Columbine's clerk delivered seven other writs to the Sheriff's'-officer, at the suit of different plaintiffs. The clerk having left the writs with the Sheriff, immediately departed. A few days after the Sheriff applied to Mr. Columbine to know in what priority he should return the Writs. To this Mr. Columbine re turned no answer, but on a subsequent application having been made, he wrote a letter, stating that he would not give any instructions on the subject. The amount of the seven writs was 9651., but the goods taken amounted to only 4001., which was merely sufficient to satisfy five of the seven writs. All the writs having come to the Sheriff at the same time he did not know in what priority he should re turn them, and was afraid if he made a return of five that actions would be commenced against him by the other two, whose writs were not satisfied, if the Court did not interfere.—Application granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET:-(THIS DAY.) A young man named John Byers was charged with felony, by a person whose name did not transpire. The prosecutor, an old man of nearly eighty years of age, was put into the box, but objected to be sworn. Mr. HALL asked why he objected. The prosecutor—l am of the same persuasion as the Quakers, but I do not belong to them. Mr. HALL—Are you a Moravian ? Prosecutor — No, I am not. Mr. HALL--Well, I cannot hear your evidence, unless you will be sworn. Prosecutor—l cannot be sworn, it would go against my conscience. The prisoner was accordingly discharged.

We have just received the following from our Malta Correspondent : VALLETTA (MALTA), OCT. 31. Her Majesty's war-steamer Devastation, which arrived on the night of the 29th inst.. and the Snake brig-of-war, which has arrived this morning, both from Tunis, report that intelligence had arrived there, previouz, to their departure on the 2Gth, by 'a French steamer from B - olui and the Turkish brig from Algiers (hut which, from motives of policy, the au thorities kept very secret), that the Arabs from the interior had risen against the French, had cut off all communication between the outposts and the garrison, and were, in fact, blockading; the city from the land side. These very Arabs ha r ' , d been supplied with arms by the French to act against Abd-el-Kader, who has succeeded in getting up this rising of the people of the Desert. Something of a similar nature has, according to the intelligence from Beyrout, per Great Liverpool, taken place in Syria. The Alaronites and the Drusos (armed by the British), have been joined by another powerful sect, the Mutuali, and entered into a solemn league and compact to extirpate the Ottomans. In their first rencontre, the Albanians (in the Turkish service) lost 100 men, and had 400 wounded. A:Ma ronite convent has ven attacked, and the whole of Mount Lebanon is under arms. This intelligence necessarily creates a move here. The Howe, bearirg the flag of Sir F. Mason (second in command), is ordered to be ready for sea this even ing, it is reported for Vourla. The Indus ship-of the-line, Inconstant frigate, and Snake brig of war, are also under sailing orders for the coast of Syria; and the Devastation will probably he despatched to Constantinople, with dispatches which have arrived from England. The French steamer which passed this port without communicating on the 29th, is, by our advices from Alexandria, known to be the Caineleon. She left on the 24th inst. with despatches from Marseilles, an nouncing the Syrian outbreak. TIIE BARON DE FEUCIIERES.—The acts of dons tion with which an elevated feeling inspired the min of General Baron de Feucheres being now fulfilled we are warranted in giving a statement of them These grants together amount to 514,000 f., and are thus distributed :—The army, 100,000 f. ; hospices of Paris, 194,000 f. ; hospices of Nismes, 50,000 E ; hos pices of Genolhac, 15 , 000 f. ; hospice of Privas, 5,000 f. ; Bishopric of Nismes, 50,000 f. ; consistory of Nismes, 25,000 f.; church of St. Perpetue at Nismes, the Ge neral's parish, 5,000 f.; the sufferers from the inun dations in the Gard, 50,000 f.; the sufferers from the inundations in the Adeche, 20,000 f. The 100,000 f. given to the army are for the foundation of sixteen annual prizes, namely, ten for the infantry, f our f or the cavalry, and two for the artillery and engineers. These prizes are to be awarded to so many " En fans de troupe," to be elected by the Council of Administration of so many regiments, the number of which are to be drawn by lot, except the 37th of the line, which the General commanded for six years, and which is always to have one prize, as a testimony of remembrance from its Colonel. The 50,000 f. given to the Bishopric of Nismes, and 25,000 f. to the con sistory, are to be invested for the purpose of half yearly distribution of 150 f. at the least, or 200 f. at the most, among indigent families of the town, to be approved by the donor during his lifetime, and by the Military Commandant of the Guard after his de cease.—Galignani. GREENWICH RAILWAY.—We have great pleasure in hearing that a prospect exists of a termination to the most unfortunate difference between the Directors of the Greenwich and Croydon Railway Companies. It appears that some of the most temperate and influ ential of the proprietors of the Greenwich Railway, several of whom are also sharehold ers i n th e C ro yd on line, have suggested to the Directors of the two Com panies the propriety of submitting the broad question at issue between them to a Committee of disinterested gentlemen, competent to form a right judgment in the matter, with a view of bringing the un happy dispute to an amicable termination. This cannot but be the earnest desire of every share holder of both the Companies, who has not suffered himself to be excited by the mere supposition that on the one hand the object of the Croydon Company is to obtain a greater share of the advantage of the Croydon traffic than justly belongs to them ; or, on the other hand, that the Directors of the Greenwich Company are determined, pertinaciously, to adhere to their toll of 4id., whatever may be the loss sustained by both Companies. We are informed that the Directors of the Croydon Company did not hesitate for one moment to accept the proposition; and there can, v, e think, be little question that a suggestion so reasonable, and which compromises the opinions of neither party, will not be refused by the Directors of the Greenwich Company.—Railway Times. The appeals against the assessment for the Income and Property-tax on persons in the City of London are expected t o 'be very numerous and protracted. Th first Court for the - above purpose will be held on Mon day, the sth of December, at the office in Basinghall street, commencing with the Ward of Aldersgate without. Should any defaulters remain after the above appeals, the schedule will be returned to the re ceiving officer, and by him certified into the Cou:t of Exchequer, where process will. be issued. FRUITS or BAD TRADE.—At the annual meeting of the proprietors of the Bolton Exchange-rooms, which was held yesterday week, R. S. Barlow, E: q., in the Chair, it was resolved, "That, in consequence of the continued unfavourable report of the state of the funds, the news-room be c:o.,ed." Manche ter Guardian. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Last week, as well as for to-day's market, the ar rivals of English wheat have been very scanty, but of fair average quality, especially as relates to those par cels from Kent. Although the stands were this morning poorly supplied, the demand for all descrip tions of both red and white was, on the whole, dull ; yet the currencies noted on this day se'nnight were in most instances supported. We had a fair quantity of fine foreign wheat on offer for which holders de manded higher rates, and thereby checked business. However, the inquiry was firm at last week's quota tions. The supply of barley being small, that article was taken offat rates quite equal to those noted on Friday. Good new malt was quite as dear ; but old parcels were much neglected. The arrival of oats from Ire land being extensive, dealers held off in anticipation of lower terms ; but the supply of those of home growth being small, previous rates were supported. Beans and peas were in dull sale, but we cannot call them cheaper. Very little was doing in either town made or country markets' flour. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

SMITHFIELD. Since our report on this day se'nnight, the imports of foreign stock for this market have been again very limited, and, generally speaking, of very middling and inferior quality. The 'uncertain condition in which both oxen and cows have lately come to hand, has pro duced much caution on the part of the buyers, and it is a well ascertained fact, that the prices realised here have, in many instances, scarcely exceeded those originally paid by the importers. In to-day's market we had 22 Beasts, by a steamer, from Spain ; 2 Bulls and 5 Oxen, from Hamburgh and Bremen ; and 4 Oxen and 30 Pigs, from Rotterdam. Some of the receipts from Spain, including the Pigs from Holland, were good, and produced, with difficulty, moderate figures ; but in the other descriptions nothing was passing, and a clearance of them was not effected. The following is a statement of the imports of stock into England under the new tariff. FROM GERMANY, DURING THE WEEK ENDING NOV. 12. Beasts. Cows. Sheep. Pigs.

This circumstance, added to the large number of buyers in attendance, caused the beef trade to be somewhat renovated ; and the prices no ticed last week were fully sustained. The primest Scots selling readily at 4s 4d per 81bs. The number of sheep were moderately good, while the sale for them was rather slow, at about stationary prices ; but the highest figure for the best old Downs did not exceed 4s 4d per Blbs. For Veal there was scarcely any inquiry, nevertheless we cannot call the averages lower. The Pork trade was very dull at late rates. From our northern grazing districts we received 1,250 short-horns and runts ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 100 Scots, homebreds, runts, &c.; from our western and southern counties 4GO Herefords,:runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c. • from various other parts of England, 100 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 7 horned and polled Scots. Some of the beasts and sheep were suffering severely from the prevailing epidemic. PEKES PEE STONE OP SLL, TO SINK TUX OFFAL. 1. d. to s. d g. d. to r. d.

Although the weather, during the past week, has been mild for the time of year, we have received an immense quantity of slaughtered meat for those mar kets, not only from Scotland but various parts of England, but it has come to hand in very middling condition. The ruling prices have again proved very low, and it is well ascertained that the shippers must for some time past have sustained severe losses.

Up to the Borough and Spitalfields markets the arrivals of potatoes from Scotland and various parts of England, including, the Channel Islands, have been on a liberal scale since Monday last, while the de mand for them is heav7, and previous rates are with difficulty supported. The general quality of the po tatoes on offer is good.—York reds, 553 to 60s ; Scotch do., 45s to 50s ; Devons, 45s to 50s ; Kent, Essex, and Suffolk whites, 45s to 50s ; Wisbeach, 45s to 50s ; Jersey whites, 30s to 35s ; Jersey and Guernsey blues, 40s to 456.

Town Tallow is 48s 6d to 49s net cash. It has now been decided that no new Judge is to be appointed to the Court of Review in the place of Sir John Cross, but that the business of that Court shall in future be heard before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Knight Bruce, who was sworn in as a Judge in Bank ruptcy on Friday last. Sir Denis Le Marchant, Bart., has been appointed manager of the extensive estates of the Earl of Lei cester, who has not yet attuned his majority. Sir Denis Le Merchant was one of the joint Secretaries of the Treasury under Lord Melbourne's Government.

Douglas, ar rived at Falmouth on Friday night, from Rio Janeiro Sept. 17th, Bahia 29th, Pernambuco .Oct. 9; freight, amounting altogether, shipped from Rio and Bahia, to about 44,0001. Her Majesty's ship Phantom took into Rio a prize, having on board 337 slaves, on Sept. 2. Sir William Gomme and suite arrived there Sept. 6, in the Cleo patra, and left on the 14th for the Cape of Good Hope. The Curacoa put in on the latter date, from the Paci fic, with a freight of 2,000,000 dollars, collected from round the Horn, and was to sail for England on the 19th. On Oct. 2 the Growler steamer was spoken off Bahia, going southward. The Philomel had pro ceedei for Monte Video and the Falkland Islands. The exchange had risen to 26 and 26k, in conse quence of the settlement of the late revolutionary movements, gold being brought down to Rio and Bahia for shipment, from the mines of which the Swift had her freight. The Crane packet, following, bad arrived at Rio, and was expected to have also a large amount. The rise in the exchange had given a slight impetus to trade, but it was supposed to be a visionary movement only. Baron de Caxias, who has been so fortunate as to quell insurrections in three provinces of Brazil, has been made a Major-General, and appointed Com mander-in-Chief in Rio Grande, where preparations have been made to put an end to the rebellion which has so long desolated that province, and little doubt was entertained but the noble and gallant Baron would be as successful there as he has been in Ma ranhao, St. Paulo, and Minas Geraes. A Prussian Prince (a nephew of the present King) had arrived rt Rio de Janeiro, with the grand cross of the Black Eagle, for his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro 11., of whose sister, it was presumed, the Prince would become a suitor; so that Rio was expected to be shortly very gay with the marriage of the Em peror himself, and perhaps of sboth his sisters. All the leaders of the late rebellion had been taken prisoners except two ; and had been sent to Rio to be tried for high treason. THE GUADALOUPE MEXICAN STEAMER. The New York Herald of the 17th ult. gives the following letter respecting the crew of this iron war steamer from its Vera Cruz correspondent :- 4: Vera Cruz, Sept. 16, 1842. . " I have just received the a n nexed statement from one of the crew of the Guadaloupe, the war•steauaer arrived from England : Capt. ' lEsh. thei c pp h e a drioonwooboda,rdatLiverpool, s team frigate Guad a l ou p e , June last, as I thought, for China. T at the close of The numb e r o f crew was then 86, including engineers, firemen, &c. The day before the steamer left Li ver p ool we were all called aft, when Captain Charlew ood read a writt en agreement, without a stamp, and written by him self. It stated that ha wished all hands to go with him—that he was ignorant of the destination of the ship—and that we must ask n o qu estions. W e were to receive 31. per month a s wages, warrant and petty officers rated according to rank. We sailed from Liverpool on the 4th of July. Two days afar I noticed in the Liverpool Mail, of the 2 d, that the Guadaloupe ltd c l eare d out for Corunna. On the 7th we called at Cork. Orders were then sent on board for the captain to go ashore, and report the ship immediately. He therefore piled on sail and put on steam, and we soon left old Ireland in the rear. On the 15th we touched at Funchal, took in coals, and left on the 18th. Shortly after the captain or dered the boatswain to pipe all hands to quarters. We were ranged on both sides of the deck. Captain Charlewood then said,' Well, men, it is my intention to inform you what my business is. I was ordered not to tell you before. lam bound to Vera Cruz, in Mexico. That place is blockaded by a set of half bred Yankees, who call themselves Texans. lam de termined to break myself through. lam well con vinced that you are all a set of picked men. We have a good ship, with two 68 pivots, and we shall no doubt take plenty of prizes. " ' Two days after we saw the Mexican colours on board, much to our surprise. From that day we were cons t a ntly drilled at the bi g guns an d small arms. It w as laughable to see the fi remen , all so very green, handling the muskets. w c were piped to quarters w henever a vessel hove in sight. On the 25 th of August we reached Vera C ru z. On the 29th all hands manned the yards and saluted the Governor. N quarters, and Captain Charle wood w a e gai t u he s i p l o p k i e pe t :_ d ‘ o weii, men, I wish to inform you that this ship is going to exchange flags ; that of Mexico will be hoisted tomorrow morning. If any of you have anything to say, now is your time. Here after you must hold tongues.' Several de clined serving under the Mexican flag, and wished to leave. Four were permitted to go. The others were told that they must remain, as the Mexican Go vernment were anxious for English sailors—so much so, indeed, that the wages of the warrant officers were raised. We were then informed that Captain Charle wood would receive 4.50 dollars per month ; the first lieutenant, G. Wright, 150 dollars; Dr. Clementson, purser and clerk, each 150 the capt u re of Texas, they are to receive 3 00 dollars , to pay their passage home—and poor Jack but 25 dollars. All those who should lose a n arm, an eye, or a leg, dollars r dollars ; and, ; afteritnd e r were to receive 601., and 301. for a finger, a toe, or for a n y scar. This is a list of prices adopted by Santa Anna. He lost a leg, which was probably worth no more than 60/.—hence the list. Three men refused to . 'cOmply with these regu lations and serve in the steamer. They were conse quently thrown into prison and confined three days without any food. The British Consul refused to offer any aid." TILE RIGHT OF SEARCH. RATIFICATION OF TILE TREATY OF CLOSING OF THE PROTOCOL FOR THE DEC. 20, 1841. PARIS, Nov. 11.--A courier arrived here the night before last from London, and brought M. Guizot the news that the protocol for the ratiffcation of the treaty of Dec. 20, had been concluded at the Foreign-office, on Monday, the 7th inst., by the representatives of the Powers signing the treaty, at the formal demand of enabled to furnish forwardto a note t o L ord A b erdeen, i the Ctibinet of St. J ames ' s that th e po litical h toa e un, F c eo r sn e 10 1 1 good cd A h 1 a l p l u b r te a hc s oe s d et ydo withl d a t e following circum plomatic f orma lity. About a fortnight pa st, M. Guizot commissioned M. de an position of the Ca binet w as such that M. Guizot n S o t u . n A ci t n il g ai t r o e would not be able to ratify the treaty of Dec. 20. The wish expressed by the Chamber of Deputies in the vote of Feb. 24 wa_s s_o , precise an d f orma l, an d clearly expressed, that thel rench Cabi ne t wou ld n ot • dare to appear again before the Chamber without hav ing conformed to the wish expressed in the Lefevre amendment. When M. de St. Aulaire gave this note to Lord Aberdeen, his Lordship replied to the French Ambassador that the British. Government would be compelled to return to M. Guizot a note couched in the same terms as that which he had forwarded, and that M. Guizot had so far engaged himself to ratify the treaty that it would be impossible for him to with dpw ; for (said Lord Aberdeen) if AL Guizot had merely signed such a treaty with England the affair would be less complicated, but M. Guizot had joined England in requesting the great Northern Powers to conclude the treaty in question with Prance and Eng land ; consequently, if the French Cabinet refused to ratify the treaty which it had proposed itself to the great Northern Powers, they would have the right to turn round and reproach England for having. joined France in a proposition which France herself now refused to accept and thus England would he compromised with the great Northern Powers, in con sequence of the refusal of France to ratify the treaty. Lord Aberdeen then explained to M. de St. Aulaire that the reply of thy British Government to M. Guizot's note must necessarily contain a formal disapproval of his conduct, and did not hesitate to say that he should lay this reply before the House of Commons : for (said Lord Aberdeen) if M. Guizot thought to strengthen his Parliamentary position by refusing to ratify the treaty, the English Cabinet also must take measures for its own justification to the English Parliament. His Lordship then urged M. de St. Aulaire to withdraw the note, which he would consider as not having been presented to him, and to inform M. Guizot that the better way to avoid complicating the question would be, to demand, in a simple note, without producing any reasons, that the protocol should be closed which had remained open for ratification on the part of France. By simply demanding the closing of the protocol without assign ing any motives, M. Guizot would not have to fear any embarrassing reply from the English Cabinet, and the question would thus be cut short without any difficulty. M. Guizot followed the advice of Lord Aberdeen, in withdrawing his first note ; and then, a week since, forwarded to the English Cabinet another note, in which he demanded, without assigning any explana tion, the closing of the protocol, which actually took place on Monday last, Thus the non-ratification of the treaty of December 20, is now for ever consum mated. It now remains to be known whether the treaties of 1831 and 1833 will be maintained or not. I am able to inform you that it is the intention of M. Guizot to abroiate them, because the only chance of safety for the } reach Cabinet was the abolition for ever of the right of search. The most devoted adhe rents of the Cabinet, such as MM. Fulebiron, Jacque minot, Jacques Lefevre, and others, have already declared to M. Guizot that they will vote for the abo lition of the right of search in the forthcoming ses sion, so that M. Guizot had no alternative.—Corre spondent of the Post. TARIFF OF THE GERMAN COM. MERCIAL UNION. This paper, which has been so long expected, and upon the contents of which so many dreary fore bodings have been uttered by our manufacturers, has at last come to hand; and we are happy to sav that the prognostications of evil so widely disseminated have proved almost entirely without foundation; in deed, we had hardly expected to have found the docu ment so harmless to British interests and commerce. The most important articles of British export are, with one exception (that of figured goods of mixed cotton and wool, such as mousseline de laine), left in almost the same situation in which they were placed by the last tariff; nor have our imports of iron been more affected, though it is quite evident that strenuous efforts had been made by various of the German States producing that article to procure the imposition of a heavier duty upon English iron of all sorts, and indeed almbst one-half of this State paper is taken up with protocols and arguments for and against increasing the duties upon the two articles of cotton and iron. Fortunately, however, some of the most important and influential States of the Union saw the mischief that would be inflicted upon the general well-being of German commerce by an in creased tax, which would tend to cripple their own trade to a degree hardly to be foreseen ; and the con sequence was, that with the exception of the increase upon printed goods manufactured of a mixture of cotton and wool, the tariff is really very little altered. The following are the heads in whicn the present differs from the former scale of duties : A aTicLEs. ( Quantity.l 1 centnerj By the four teen doll.

HIGHWAY ROBBERIES NEAR HALIFAX.—On Satur day night, as Mr. Bold, jun., of Ovenden, was return ing home from Halifax, some persons fastened a rope across the road, near the Broad Tree Inn, which the horse stumbled at and fell over. Before Mr. Bold could get to his feet, he was seized upon by three men, who took his purse and gold watch, and then made off with the booty. , On Monday night, about e ight o'clock, as Mr. Charles Sloa ne was re t u r n ing i from Peat Pitts, n Ovenden, he was a tt ac k e d by six men, who threw him down, and t oo k a ll th e money he had from him—taking at the same time such trifles as his penknife and snuff-box.

For having at Kilkenny, on or about the 26th day of September, 1842, falsely asserted to seve ral officers of the depot, that a false and libellous para graph, which appeared in the Kilkenny Journal of the 24th of that month, headed A Case for the United Service Gazette,' reflecting on his commanding officer and the officers of the regiment to which he (Second Lieutenant Geale) belongs, was not false, but on the contrary, was perfectly true. - " 2d. For having continued to associate with the known and avowed editor of the Kilkenny Journal, after the false and libellous paragraph referred to in the first charge had been published in that newspaper, more especially considering the manner in which Second Lieutenant Geale's name was introduced into that paragraph. " 3d. For having, at Kilkenny, on or about the 27th day of September, 1842, when asked by his com manding officer, in the presence of the next senior officer, and the depot Adjutant, if he (Second Lieut. Geale) still adhered to his previously-expressed de termination, to prefer the society of the author of the false and calumnious paragraphs and articles that had appeared in the Kilkenny Journal, reflecting on tlh; officers of the depot, to that of his brother officers, de liberately replied that he did.

GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP. An extraordinary general meeting of the Share holders in the Great Western Steam-ship Company was held yesterday at their offices in Prince's-street, in consequence of the Committee of ten Shareholders, appointed by the Proprietors, having communicated to the Board of Directors the following resolution : " That, it appearing to the Committee of Proprie tors it may not be desirable to complete the Great Britain, tho Directors be requested to call a public meeting of Shareholders, to consider the situation of the Company's affairs ; and that the Directors be fur ther requested to continue until the public meeting the expenditure at the yard on a reduced scale." Our Reporter, in common with those for the other papers, applied in the usual manner for permission to be present, but after waiting for some time, he was in formed that the Company had decided that the Press should not be admitted. For the following account of the proceedings, we are indebted to the kindness of a Shareholder who was present : The business was commenced by the presentation of a Report from the Committee of ten Shareholders appointed at the general meeting in August last, which was read by the Chairman of that Committee, Mr. George Jones, who, in presenting it, said it had been transmitted to the Directors, accompanied by a request that they would express their opinion as to the advisibility of printing and circulating it among the Shareholders, to which request no answer had been received. The Report recommended the sale of all the Company's property, and the winding up of the concern. This led to a very lengthened dbate upon the affairs of the Company generally, in the course of which much information was elicited. It was stated that the liabilities of the concern amounted to 23,818/. There was due on calls, &c. 17,0001., leaving a ba lance against the Company of 6,8181. That the weekly disbursements in wages had been reduced from 3671. to 3001. There was a complaint made of the expenditure, in carrying on the business of the Company, as being excessive. It was asserted that Captain Hosken was paid a considerably higher salary than any captain in the service of the West India Mail Company, or Cunard's Line. Captain Claxton's salary was stated at 3001. per year. The cabin fur niture of the Great Western was said to have cost 3,372/. ; her bedding and table linen, 1,130/. ; glass, 434/. ; and plate, 4631. Her total cost was 61,6711. The Directors were opposed to carrying into effect the recommendation of the Committee of Shareholders, as being calculated to prejudice the interests of the subscribers. The Chairman, R. Bright, Esq., pledged himself, as far as calculations could be made, that 14,0001. would be sufficient to complete the Groat Britain, in cluding the cost of the dock and expense of floating her out, and also including her anchors, cables, sails, &c. It was also stated that this sum of 14,0001. would be reduced by 2781., the value of timber and stores in hand. Mr. B. contended that the Great Western was at the present moment yielding a profit to the Company, and that the Directors would not be justi fied in selling her for any price not considerably above the highest bona fide bidding at the late attempted sale. After a very lengthened and masterly address, the Chairman produced a set of resolutions from the Directors, which, after very considerable discussion, led to a modified series, which were moved by Mr. C. B. Pripp, seconded by Mr. Cunningham, and una nimously adopted, to the effect, lst—That the Great Western should resume her station in the spring, un less in the interim she could be advantageously sold. 2d—That the Great Britain should be completed and fitted for sea ; and, 3d—That a loan not exceeding 20,0001. should be effected in order to carry out the foregoing objects. Votes of thanks were then passed to the Chairman, and to the Committee of ten, and the Proprietors se parated in much better humour than they manifested at the commencement of the proceedings.—Bristol Mercury.

The house in which it was perpetrated is an isolated one, about a quarter of a mile from any other dwelling, and is oc cupied by a man of the name of Peter Wood, a sort of farmer and shopkeeper. He happened to be from home at the time. His wife, daughter, a servant boy, and two neighbours, were sitting round the fire in the kitchen, when the latch of the door was lifted up and a party of fellows, all of whom appeared to be Irish men, with their faces blackened, unceremoniously en tered. Three of them, who produced pistols, advanced to the inmates and threatened to shoot them if they made any resistance, or even turned round to look. While the three were thus engaged, the remainder of the party went up stairs, where they broke open the drawers, and abstracted various sums of money, amounting in the aggregate to about 181. Shortly after, they left the house, fastening the door upon the outside, and made good their retreat. On the arrival of Mr. Wood at home, an alarm was given, and information was conveyed to the special high con stable at Birkenhead, sir. George I armer, who im mediately proceeded to Capenhurst with a party of police, after having first left directions with the super intendant of night police at Birkenhead to watch every suspicious; character who might happen to enter the township. The result was, that under the judicious arrangements of the superintendent in question, two of the party were captured on the same night at Birken head, and another at Eastham, and this morning two others were arrested, making five in all. Their names are Michael Maher, John Hopkins John Brophy, John Maher, and John Connor. This morning the five prisoners were put forward at the bar of the Birkenhead Police Court, and the facts we have shortly stated were deposed to by the members of Wood's family, all of whom, however, were too much frightened by the ruffianly demeanour of the prisoners to be able to speak positively as to their identity. The police officers, who took the prisoners into cus tody as they were on their way to Liverpool, produced. the money found upon them, which in the aggregate made up exactly the amount stolen from Mr. Wood's house, and some of the coins were also recognised as having been in Mr. Wood's possession. The examination was adjourned until five o'clock on Monday evening, when, it is said, the five pri soners will be identified as the parties who, some time since, committed a daring burglary and robbery at Bebington, near Birkenhead, and left the old man and his wife who occupied the premises in an almost sense less state \ upon the floor. Be this as it may, there can be little doubt that by the capture of the fellows a most. villanous gang has been broken up, for which the peo— ple of Cheshire ought to be sincerely thankful. COURT OF SESSION:STRA.TIf- BOGIE CASE. In the conjoined actions of Suspension and inter dict and of Reduction, at the instance of the seven ministers of Strathbogie (against whom the General Assembly of 1841 pronounced a sentence of deposi tion), for the purpose of having that sentence sus pended and set aside, Lord Cuninghame, crdinary, has pronounced the following interlocutor. The preliminary defences to which it applies were, that, the procurator, moderator, clerks, and agent of V i a , Assembly, were not proper contradictors to be cPrled as defenders ; that the actions were incompetent.; and that the Court had no jurisdiction. 10th November, 1842.—The Lord Ordinary hav ing considered the Summons of Reduction and Note of Suspension in these conjoined processes, with the Preliminary Defences urged for the defenders, Re vised Cases, and whole processes :—ln respect that the,. object of the actions, as set forth in the Note of Sup pension, and in the relative Summons of Reduction, is. to have certain sentences or decrees of the General.

" J. CUNINGHAM." We learn with deep regret, that Mr. Councillor Robertson died bet ween seven an d eight * o'clock yes terday evening. He has been in bad health, we be hove' for two y e ar s or more, b ut his complaints, which had been partially subdued by medical treat ment, returned suddenly about ten days ago, and with a violence which too surely prognosticated a fatal issue. The warm interest he took in public affairs induced him to attend the meeting of the Council on Friday, when he was evidently unfit to be abroad ; but from that time his strength sunk rapidly.

At the Surr y' transfer Sessions the Magistrates were occupied th e greater part of Fr i day i n the case of Mr. W ors hi p, who was charged pew e rer, of forging N a e e Nin e i ta g i o to n G - o c v a e u r e m w e a 1 3 1 • t, die used for stamping measures, &c., and also for un lawfully selling anumber ofquart and pint pots having a counterfeit stamp on them. From the evidence of Mr. Wade, the inspector, it appeared that on the 15th of last month he sent a person to purchase several quart pots of the defendant. The pots produced are those bought of the defendant. The stamps upon them are forgeries. The case was of serious im portance to licensed victuallers, for they were liable to a penalty of forty shillings for every such measure found in their possession, although they purchased them as standard measures. There were three infor mations laid'against the defendant. In two be got off on account of some informality in the notice; but in the third a conviction, took place, and he was sen tenced in the penalty of 101. The only emolument the defendant obtained by the forged die was one halfpenny on each pot, and the trouble of conveying the pots to and from the Inspector of Weights' pre mises. The defendant was unable to pay the fine. 'TIE CASE or POISONING.—A family of the name of Cooper, at Duckmanton, were all attacked by severe illness, the symptoms of which might be re ferred to an acrid metallic poison. The illness pre sented similar symptoms to those of the elder Cooper, who died about three weeks ago ; it NN as therefore thought proper to exhume his body and make an analysis of the contents of the stomach. An inquest on the body will be held in a few days.—Derbyshire Chronicle.
