Mr. SHADWELL read the order which had been drawn up in the Master's office, appointing a Receiver to the Covent-Gar den Theatre. He wished some variation to be made in the order with respect to the current expences. • Mr. HART objected to any alteration in the order, as he felt convinced the only object was postponement. Mr. SHADWELL assured the Court that he had no such in tention. The variation had not been proposed by the parties, but by himself, supposing the alteration would be beneficial to all parties. The LORD CHANCELLOR refused at the present moment to vary the order as drawn up in the Master's Office. If any al teration were necessary, it might be made on Tuesday. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 28. GILL V. CUIIITT. This was an action to recover a bill of exchange for seventy five pounds, accepted by Messrs. Cubitt and Company, of Gray's-Inn-lane, but drawn and indorsed by Mr. Everett. —lt was transmitted by the latter Gentleman to a corres pondent at Birmingham, but stolen on the road, and short ly afterwards presented to the plaintiff, a regular bill broker, who discounted it at the usual rate of interest.— The defence, conducted by Mr. SCAILLETT, was, that the plaintiff had not used proper precaution in discounting the bill. He had merely ascertained that the acceptor was a responsible person, and with no other knowledge of the person who asked for the discount than some general acquaintance with his fea tures, he had discounted the bill. The CRIEF JurricE,ir; leaving the case to the Jury, while he recommended them to take care and throw no impediment in the way of paper circulation, thought this mode of transacting business ought to be tolerated. Aft:l half an hour's consideration, the Jury found a verdict for the defendants. FOR THE SUN. ON ADDRESSES. MR. EDITOR—The practice of assailing the Throne with loyal and dutiful Addresses has now become so prevalent, and this method o f express ing the public opinion, or that of any parlii, upon the measures of Government, is so likely to be soon put into practice that I trust I shall be ex cused for offering some cursory observations upon this subject. I am not prepared to state at what period of time this laudablet, custom arose, nor - t6 trace its regular progress from its origin to its pre sent universal prevalence. Suffice it to say, that almost, from time immemorial, the City of Lon don, both of the Universities, the Societies of the Temple, and of Lincoln's Inn, that of Gray's Inn, and some of the principal Corporate Bodies of the kingdom, have enjoyed the privilege, upon all great and extraordinary emergencies, to bring their petitions or addresses to the foot of the Throne. It has been, however, only since some reigns past, that most of the inferior corporations have exercised this privilege, to which they seem to have an equal right. The original intention of this practice, was it is evident, to open a free communication between the Sovereign and his subjects ; and to enable the former to make himself acquainted with their wishes and with their sentiments, upon the mea sures adopted and pursued by his Ministers. The system is, therefore, in itself, most excel lent, and worthy of being adopted and preserved by a free people. It, indeed, affords the subject almost the only means they can have of commu nicating to their Sovereign the real and general sentiment of those over whom lie is placed, and whose happiness it is his duty to secure. As Monarchs, owing to the high rank they hold in the community, are necessarily confined to a small sphere of privileged individuals, and are therefore precluded from ascertaining the various opinions of mankind, by mingling in every class of society, it is necessary that they should be made acquainted with the general sense of the nation, upon all important occasions. If this privilege be advantageous to the subject it may he not less so to the Sovereign. Since it affords him a fair opportunity of judging for him self, and secures him against the passible misre presentations of selfish favourites, or of corrupt Ministers. Since such was the true and original intention of theright of the subjects to address the Sovereign, it is evidently absolutely requisite that all such addresses should express the unbiassed and spon taneous sentiments of the people, and be perfectly free from nny sort of influence or management whatever. If this be not the case, the avowed object cannot be possibly attained. F or ever y address procured in any other way can tend only to mislead the judgment of the Prince, instead of en lightening it, and to alienate the aff e ctions of his people, is led to believe are eith e r reprehended or recommended by the maj or ity o f the nation. by inducing hi m to a b an d on, or to pur sue measures w hich he That too many addresses are got up in this man ner, it is impossible to deny, and it is no less true, that such a practice must have the most perni cious tendency. Daily experience proves that this practice, however otherwise beneficial in itself, has been made of late years, the tool by means of which ambitious or mischievous dema gogues, have attempted to further their owe views, by irritating the public mind. The method employed to accomplish this end is sufficient ly obvious. Artful men find not the least diffi culty in drawing up petitions, addresses, &c. and it is equally easy to procure an immense number of signatures. Every possible description of per son is welcome to inscribe his name, and, as quantity is all they want, when this is not found to be sufficient, the deficiency is easily supplied, many names are put down, whose owners never existed, whilst different signatures are either put down in the very same hand, or else in disguised and counterfeited characters ! That addresses and petitions will soon pour from all parts, we cannot doubt for a moment, how far the above method will be employed, it is not difficult to surmise. A. P. A commercial letter slated Kiel, Feb. 9th, says—" Our great entitle' fair is just over without any mishap in the money market. Various loans were negociated, and in fact there was no want of money when the security was dee►red good. The general rate of interest was 4 per cent., although some negociat►ons were effected as low as three and a half. The prices of grain have lately experienced a considerable rise. The university here, by the bye, has seldom been so flourishing as at present. A very great number of students are here from all parts. With a view to greater accommodation, his Majesty has g►ven his consent for the erection of a new building wherein to deposit the large library that is at present in the Royal Castle. And what further inspirits us in the Duchies (Holstein and Sleswick,) is the very general idea entertained that the Crown is about to remit a considerable part of the existing taxes. Justly popular as the King is, this will doubtless tend to aug ment the affection of a faithful and a loyal people." The celebrated commercial firm of VAN DER Smlssocl4, of Altona, which lately suspended its payments, owing in a great measure to the depreciated value of West In dia property, has succeeded in making arrangements to liqui date the affairs of the house without being declared bankrupts. Their debts amount to about two millions 200,000 marks banco, some where about two hundred thousand pounds sterling. It is not expected that the estate will pay more than tie per cent. MUNICH, FEB. 6.--The will of the late Banker, Baron Von Ercirrum., has engaged the public at tention a good deal. It is certainly a curious one. He leave about five millions of florins, equivalent to five hundred thous sand pounds sterlings. This large Capital is to remain 113 years under the joint administration of Mr. Simon Von Eichthal and his Book-keeper. The Legatees, till the expiry of the time mentioned, are to be no further benefited than re ceiving the annual interest. Aniong the Legacies are two pipes of very old stock, which are bequeathed to the • King of Bavaria. About one thousand pounds sterling are left to the Poor, and the like sum to the society for extinguishing fires. OR THE SUN. WEST INDIA QUESTION. . . MR. EDITOR—I see by the Debates in Perlin.: meat, as reported in your Paper of the 24th inst. that the West India Colonists are to receive no alleviation from those impositions,whichialthcingh denominated War 'faxes, have still been levied upon them for ten years after that war has been concluded. The situation of the West India planter is one of peculiar hardship.. the tires these .Wax taxes were inwosed, a hogshead of sugar returned him not so little as XV. It now gives him not so much as 151., while the charges upon that hogshead, supposing it to weigh• 13 cwt. (and which include even a convoy duty) amount to no less than 2.21. ss. ; neither can any article be exported without the payment of t per cent., expressly demanded as convoy duty, although no convoy has been appointed or required for the last ten years. At the period above mentioned, the Americans, supplying all our wants, took our rum in payment at 151. per puncheon ; but the sagacity of his Majesty'S Ministers devised the plan of 'restricting us from further intercourse with them, and our rum sank in value below the original cost of the casks that con.. tained it. It is true the mistaken policy of that restriction has been admitted, and the prohibidon removed, but not until, having thus taught them to make a spirit of their own, the Americans will no longer take our rum, which is become almost unsaleable. Thus, with our sugars depreciated one half, and our rum without a market, we are called upon to con tinue the payment of the same War Taxes, even including a convoy duty, ten years after that war has ceased, and amounting, in many in,- stances, to more than the actual produce of our estates. If, superadded to all this, we look at the application of the noted 41 per cent, duty levied on some (only) of the Islands, and see that property, which now brings its owner in debt, parcelled out in pensions for the support of other families, while it leaves no provision for the family of the proprietor, is it too much to say, that the colonists are selected as the only class of his Majesty's subjects doomed to reap no benefit from 10 years of peace, or that they are debarred by the very acts of Government from carrying into execution those measures for ame liorating the condition of their Negroes, which are so vociferously and unceasingly pressed upon them. The deplorable state of the West Indian Colonies is the natural result of the measures of Government, and we may expect to see other Co lonies following the example of Demerara, in pe titioning to be allowed to seek, from other Powers that prOtection which seems to he withdrawn from them by Great Britain. I am, sir, Your obedient servant, C. BETHELL CODRINGTON. Dodington, Feb. 27, 1824. FOR TILE SUN. WEST INDIA INTERESTS. MR. Enrron—Notwithstanding the discus sions which the perilous and much depreciated state of the West India Colonies has neces sarily called forth, it cannot but prove a matter of real regret to every one therein interested, to read how little, if any, improvement, these dis cussions have led to, which, I am sure, will apo logize to you, Mr. Editor, for now addressing you, and which, although a last, is a most vitally interesting question to that Interest. lam sur prized that it has not been more strenuously advocated, particularly by that deputation who waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer—.l mean the state of the British Sugar Refiner, which, in another year, will, I think, be extinct in this country, and which, most certainly, calls for a vigilant inquiry ; every year has closed houses in that branch of business, and therefore the poor West Indian has suffered an annual de terioration, and must do so, if a liberal bounty is not given to him, so as to enable him to compete with others, and to find a market for his manu facture, whirl), in a year or two, would do more for the West India interest, as well as Of this country, than a remission of duty would do. It is a demand that is wanted, and nothing else, — our exclusion from Foreign Markets is the real cause ; only restore to us a trade, and our Colo nies will again flourish, in spite of the Emperor AtexANDen's recent Decree, which is certainly a barrier to us in his dominions. But it would also have a further good effect, and be a protec tion to the old Colonies, in case of an equaliza tion of Duties ; nay, it would be a national good, in which light I am sure the capitalists of this country must see it. I shall not say more but leave the subject with those to whom it is more immediately interesting, and remain, Mr. Editor, Your obedient humble servant, A FRIEND TO THE OLD COLONIES. Newcastle-upon-Tyne. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—We received the fol lowing extraordinary piece of information on Tuesday night last.—(Chestcr Chronicle) : " Our boat last Friday, when fishing in the Clyde, caught a very large cod fish, weighing 171 b. 40z., and we found in the gut a gold watch, bearing the inscription on a paper in the case of it, 4 Hugh Davies, qf Wrexhanz."fhere is another mark on the watch which must be identified by the owner before we will give it up ; there is a seal and chain attached to it. If you will have the goodness to insert this in your p a p er , it may lead to the discovery of the owner of the watch, and by paying the expences, it will be restored. " Your obedimt Servant, " JAMES MURRAY, Clyde Fishery. " Glasgow, February 22,1824." A Letter, dated Newcastlo-upon-Tyne, Feb. 26, (Thursday last) says, " It has been very stormy all this morning. There have been several heavy showers of snow from the east, and the weather looks more wintry than at any former period this season,"
