Much , is he wi , lted to see Sir W. Curtis again RS one o f their - Representatives, he had at the present - . .,,S moment som,thing else ou his mind. The pre sent question lie viewed as taking a broader basis ' than that of the mere return of Sir W. Curtis to Parliament. Eli. looked on Sir W. Curtis to be ~,. a man well acquaioted with the mercantile jute rests of the city of London. Some of tile Got -.:4 tlemen who now represented tie City (of their " • ~p rivate character be wished to ,say nothing) had ',K' 't . ot the meicantile experience of the lion. Hart.,art., and were therefore, in his opinion, not Such men '..71 , 'i as ought to be returned to Parliament for the City. He hoped that care would be taken to re i. turn merchants in the next P ar liament, and trust ed that that splitting of votes would be avoided, ~ which bad caused the Hon. Baronet to lose the day at the last election. i 0 ; Mr. MARTIN thought the position that the city '4 l ' of London ought to be represented by merchants , was one which could tint be controverted. No thing but experience could make a merchant, ,74::, serve e it n t i v e a r s ch o ,t t i i ) l t y s. ex l p ,l e ie r y iei l l , c o e , t . l eve me r rc o l , i i a g t i i i t t s 10 that to co fo u r li . l ', .t to look at the politics of the Candidates. Our g ' I . : y happy Constitution required that care should be 4 taken to preserve its balance. He must vote for Sir W. Curtis and Mr. Wilson, because they were friends to a regular Government, but he could 0.: not vote for others, looking at the course which. 1 9 'bey had pursued, and seeing that it had produced 4 4 ' much evil. Mr. Alderman Wood and mr. Waith !,f''-'',, i b a n had as much right to think as they did, as he ~f . ., , ttii' to entertain the opinions which be had now ci: ,ivqwed ; but while they were on one side of the, : i i . ,,i, qAestion ant.' he on the other, be must oppose t,eto, and support those who differed ftom them. ;', - The Meeting would feel with him that it was im portant to return those who thought as they did , on politics. ... . .. After an absence of a quarter of an hour, Mr. e ' •;: , MANNING and the other Gentlemen of the Depu .6. ration returned. 4 ,1 The CutalastaN apologised for the unavoidable ' 41 ' delay etr,iel] had 9rceurred, and then read the an " swer of Sir W.

A• Curtis, for the manner in which be had acceded to ft. the wishes of the Meeting. •t - - Sir W. LEIGHTON seconded the motion. t Tt!e motion was then carried by acclamation. Mr. MANNING stated, that as Sir W. Curtis had . :,v,aceepted their invitation, a Committee would sit •''" daily at Heat house, and the divrict books would ' - - be prepared for the use of his friends on Monday. •,e l c' Sir C. Pince was sure that the Meeting would V feel with him the extreme obligation] they owed to 'l.: - . the Chairman for kis sanction and countenance on . " ' this occasion, knowing as they did that a greater i • s orteAment to the mercantile interest of the City of :.; Ivo.,don conhl not he found in it. He therefore r., , moved, that the Thanks of the Meeting should be ; given to the Chaiiman, for his able services on •: th,s occasion, ~ The Motion was carried wi:h great applause. iv I • Mr. MANNING, e , in retuning thanks, said he had I , ! always con.,itirred it t hrough lite one of the proud• :.:!," fS I. distinctions to be a merchant of the City of t;:::,; London,. and to be connected with the Gentle men then near him, and so long as be retaked his faculties, he was confident that this feeling would remain unchanged.—(Applause.) • A Gentleman now announced that it had been thought desirable that Sir W. Curtis should ap pear among them. He had accordingly been sent for, and would probably be-there in the course of two or three minutes. In a very short time Sir W. Curtis made his ap pearance, and was welcomed with the most cordial greetings by all present. He advanced to the head of the table and took a seat, apparently almost overwhelmed with the pleasure of the moment. Mr. 'MANNING said it occurred to hint, since lie last addres,ed the Meeting, that it would be bet ter that the District books which he had stated 'would he ready by Monday, should nor be open ed tid atter the funeral of his late play sty. Mr. Aldeiman ATKINS, while the Hon. Baro net took rime to recover his feelings, disturbed as thcy had beets by the agreeable communication "hich he had received that morning, suggested that the Committee to sit in that House should be an open one, that every friend to Sir W. Curtis might attend to assist in the proceedings, and to report progress. At the same time he suggested the expediency of guarding against the intrusion of those who might come to spy " the nakedness of the land;" (though there would be none to he spied,) and of admitting only those who were trienels to the Hon. Baronet, and to him alone, as it should be remembered that (to use the old adage) it w - hs very difficult for men to serve many masters.' Hen then proposed that Mr. Maiming shonld he Chairman, and Air. Hall Se cretary to the Committee. Mr. MANNING said, his avocations would pre ciode him from giving the Committee bis constant attendance, He was willing to be nominally the Chairman, if his personal attendance could be dispensed Fit h. • The motion was agreed . to. Sir . W. CURTIS then stated to the company ►hat their Chairman had done him" the honour to read and to communicate to him the Resolutions come to this day, calling him forth once mote as a Candidate for the situation which he had held for 27 years as one of the Representatives for the City of London. They all knew his situation, his feelings, and what his political life had been, and therefore for hint to take up their time on these subjects, would be a waste which he should be sotry tor. After living three-fourths of half a century in the City of London, it might be ex pected, that at his years he should desire repose. But repose he could never know. while he retain ed his health and those political feelings which had first recommended hint to those he now ad di es sed. He must continue to defend that great, and good, and valuable Constitution which we enjoyed, from all attacks to which it might be exposed. So long as he continued to be a man and a Magis trate,-he would continue to raise his voice, how ever feeble it might beconu:, against the machina nous of those who would destroy the Constitu tion of the count' y, which had for'so many cen- Curies been the pride and the safeguard of Eng lishmen. On the pr. sent occasion, he felt much, but " that which the heart telt, the tongue could not utter on every occasion." It had been his intention after what occurred eighteen months ago, almost wholly to retire from public life, but after the call made on him to come forward again, this Was impossible. It was impossible to resist the flattering invitation which he had received ; and his voice now, thank God, strong would still be raised in their behalf, however fee ble it might become hereafter. If he should be returned :o that situation which he bad so long had the honour to hold, he would endeavour to fulfil their wishes to the best of his ability. He would do that which an honest man ought to do. In the first place, he would endeavour to defend the peculiar privileges which belonged to the City that sent him to Parliament ; and then lie would act on other subjects as his own judg ment snood(' direct. To say that be .would never attend to the wi•lies of the Livery would be wrong. But a man going into the House of Com mons must, in twiny instances, act from himself. iVhatever opinions he had previously formed, they would possibly be shaken by the arguments he might hear opposed to them, and a different convic tion produced. It was by this opposition of sen timents and arguments that truth was elicited. On such grounds he wished to offer himself to their choice, and on such alone. He was not prepared to say more at present. As their servant acting on these principles, he was ready to obey their commands. If they continued to exert themselves as they had done this day, he had no doubt of a successful result at the ensuing Election. This speech was received with shouts of ap plause —The proceedings were ordered to be pub lished in the Morning and Evening Paperq, and the Meeting adjourned. A woman called Frances Clarke, as our Reader will recollect, has been tried three several times at successive Assizes in this county, on a charge of murdering her illegitimate child ; she was acquitted on her first trial on the law of misnomer, in the indictment the child being ther,io described as " George Lakeman- Clarke," although it has been christened " George Lakeman" only ; on her second trial, she %vas acquitted again on another flaw in the desc;iption of the offence, it being stated that the child was murdered by poi son passing into its stomach, but it proved in evidence to have been suffocated by the poi'.ou not so passing, but stopping in its throat ; the third indictment being witbout flaw, Frances Clarke was pronounced guilty, with a reserva• tion referring the point of law to the Judges ; we ought to notice the public spirit of some Gentle men of this city, who tut niched the pecuniary means of carrying this extraordinary business through ; we now find that the Twelve Judges have decided on her case, that no person can be legally tried twice for the same offence ; of course the miserable woman - is free.—(Western Luminary EARLY LAmes%.—At end ne ar Ni t ,h rliy , Mi n) .

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 10. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CATIIERINE-BALL. The pleadings in this cause, which has occupied uhf Court during several sittings, were concluded this day. The LORD-CHANCELLOR deferred giving judg tnent till he should have read over the papers. At the rising of the Court, Sir Watkin Lewes addressed his Lordship on the subject of a suit in which he was concerned. He said the question at issue involved the disposal of property to a very large amount, and therefore it was of importance that it should be decided as early as possible. He begged his Lordship to fix an early day for the hearing of this cause. The LoRD CHANCELLOR said, he would do any thing in his power to oblige Sir %Vatkin Lewes, or any other suitor ; but be could not conscientiously bring on this cause (Lewes v. Morgan) out of its turn, while there were so many old appeals to be disposed of. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, FEB. 10. 1, ,, rd KENYON took the oath of allegiance to his Majesty, iu consequence of the office he holds in this Court. CITY PROSECUTION. THE KING V. PARKINS, ESQ. AND OTHERS. This cause was called on according to appoint ment. Mr. DENM A.N then proceeded to show cause against the rule obtained for filing a crimi nal information against the defendants for riotous obstruction at the election of Lord Mayor, on Michaelmas Day last. The Learned Counsel, who appeared for Messrs. Waithman, Hurcombe, and Fearon, said he should endeavour to couv , uce the Court that 'he defendants were exercising a civil right as well as their opponents, on the day they were chatged with rioting. They doubted the power of the Lord Mayor to deny th m the pri vilege of free discussion upon a question of pub lic importance"; and,. influenced by tlial. doubt, ;h e y proceeded to pass several Resolic ions, t‘hich the Livery almost unanimously adopted.. Mr. Denman was prepared with precedents, wherein the Livery, assembled on Michaelmas Day, had proceeded to other business than the election.— He stated the opinion of Serjeant Glynn, deli vered in 1773, in answer to an application made ti) him on this very subject. Serjeant Glynn declared, that the Livery, legally assembled, had right to discuss a public grievance on Michael mas Day, Midsummer Day, or any other day.— He adverted to the case of Jenks, which oc curred in the reign of Charles the Second.— Mr. Jenks appeared publicly on the hustings as the defendants did. The Common Serjeant of that day, afterwards Lord Chief Justice Jeffries, prosecuted him for a riot, btit failed in his effort to obtain a conviction. In the cases of Piikinaton and Sacheverell more violence occur- red than was found in the case before the Court, yet no conviction t.ok place. .The defendants had acted right in their own opinion, and the Court, if that opinion was erroneous, would not perhaps visit them with all the penalties of a criminal in formation. The Common Council had declared that the prosecution against the defendants ought to go no further. He then adverted to the affi davit disclosing the .facts of the alleged riot and obstruction. Mr. Sheriff Bothwell, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Brown, deposed, that Mr. Waithman, Mr. Parkins, and Mr. Hurcombe, were active in the obstruction. Mr. Hurcombe was accused by Mr. Brown of distributing hand-hills. Most of the charges preterred were denied by the defemk ants. After a long investigation of the details on both sides, Mr. Denman concluded, by submitting that the Court could not allow the Solicitor: General to file the information, but leave the Cor poration to go before a Grand Jury, which,would be the best mode of deciding the di spute. _ Mr. BROUGHAM followed - on the same side. It was -not a subject for the-serious consideration of the Court. It it was made a matter of grave con sideration, the King's Bench would become a Court of Appeal for the settlement of petty dis putes, in every little Common Hall, and Corpora- an in the kingdom. The question was not, who had committed a breach of the peace, but which party was right in the form of proceeding ? The decision would depend upon custom, and although the Corporation had procured many affidavits, they had not produced one from the Learned Re corder upon the subject of custom. That high authority, learned in the law, might have thrown light upon the question, yet his affidavit was not before the Court. They had omitted no affidavits but those of the Recorder and Town Crier. The latter was applied to, but he had exhausted hint sell', and declined making an affidavit, saying he was a Ctier, not a Swearer. Air. Justice BEST asked, whether a precept was ssued for the election of Lord Mayor? Mr. BROUGHAM answered in the affirmative. The CHIEF JUSTICE remarked, that it might be important to elect a Lord Mayor on the day, if the Charter required the election. Mr. BROUGHAM said, it was not likely the elec tion would have been passed over. The Court would give the Corporation of London credit for discretion They had indeed proved their discre tion, even in t benoise and 1111110 k on the hustings. One of the affidavits made Mr. Parkins say, after the Resolutions had passed, " We have had enough of this ; we will now proceed to Corporation bu siness." They accordingly elected the Lord Mayor. lire CHIEF JUSTICE, at this part of the proceed• ing, intimated that the Court would go no further this day. They would hear a continuation of the argument another day. Mr. BROUGHAM—May I presume your• Lord ships mean another day next Term ? Mr. Hunt then rose. He said he should be glad to know whether this was not a Court of Ctitni •al Jurisprudence ; and if it was, whethv criminal matters did not take precedence ?. CillPF JUSTICE—Yes, it is a Criminal Court ; but'tl t Judges cannot give the whole of the Term 10 one cause, ‘Ve_ must go through the Bar, and then it there is time, we will hear a continuation of I he argument. BROUGHAM SMiII, it would be nn use to proceed thy atter day for one hour or two. Five • • -=•, Centlemek;Were Counsel on his side the - questions and seven or eight on the other.. He—suggeofo, -- to let it stand over to next term. Mr. SCARLRTT observed, that no delay c . G 11 7 ,1 4 ,' take place by that arrangement, as they could t! proceed to trial at the Sittings after Term. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—I suppose you are tO vie it as a question of right. Mr. BROUGHAM answered, yes; and said; must agree that it would be a convenient _ to fix a day n ext T erm . Mr. Hunt—No, my Lords, we are not agreed. I have no question of right to tr contend for my established right as a Livery4lll of London, and I mean to d e f en d myse lf on 440- " - broad principle. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—We have betg enough, Sir ; we will go through the Bar (o'p morrow, and then, if there be any time, we .PP! hear it further. The Court, at the saute timei,4,:i not likely to find the opportunity. • The parties then withdrew. •:• • UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. - CAMBRIDGE, ` Fes. 10.—We understand that, in coosequence of the funeral of his Royal ness the Duke of KENT being fixed to take plifO!• on Saturday "night, there will be non-term in7tbill i y University for thr ee d a y s , commenc i ng this aket74 noon We are informed that the Congregation which' was intended to he holden next Wednesday - µ'i : ll be held on - Tuesday, in consequence of non-tern (on account of the funeral of our late must 0 1, !! cious Sovereign) commencing on Tuesday even II is generally undersiood that an Address to, his most excellent AlHjesty King George IV. 10 . 11 1 be proposed at the Congregation - on Tuestitifj next.
