There is at this moment a fact confirming that observation as applicable to the first-named. At tbe vil lage of Glentham, in the neighbourhood of Market Hasen, in this county, there is now living, on a farm recently occu -71 pied by a person named lI EWSON, a ',goose upwards of a hundred years old. Mr. H131'0:1 a short timeago had an auction, he being about to quit his f arm, and after a the farm ing utensils, stock, household fu r n iture, &c. ha been dis posed of, a neighbour who attended the sale reminded hint of the goose which yet remained unsold. Mr. fiv.wsoat immediately replied, ` I will not have the goose sold, it has been upwards of a hundred years in my forefathers' and my possession, and I will 4ive it to the next occupier, in. the hope that he may treat it kindly, in order that it may terminate its life where it has lived so long." The bird was accordingly presented to the farmer who succeeded Mr. Hu wsoN, and is still living.—( Lincoln Mercury. ) This was a case in which Peter Watson, of radical notoriety was the appellant, and the Rev. Williltn Nesfield respondent, and was an appeal against a Magistrate's order for the payment of Easter Offerings. Mr. COOKSON opened the case, and addressed the Bench at coneiderabin. length. He said he felt glad, and yet at . the same time - some little regret, that the discussion of this ques tion was to come on. Ile was glad that it was now to be brought-to a decision, because it had been so long talked of —and not only as regarded -the present case, but also on ac count of several cases of the same description having recently occurred ; and his regret was oe.ealioned by the idea, that a case so clear in itself—and no person, he was sure, on hearing the evidence, could have the least doubt of the lega lity of the respondent's claim—should fora single moment oc cupy the attention of the Court. ficeiould easily see why Peter atson had resisted, the claim ;ate wee a sort of Knight Er rant, a Crusader against Easter Offiniregve and travelled all over the country to raise an opposition to the payment of them. His exertions were not solely confined to the parish of Chester-le- Street; but lie was, in fact, an itinerant, who went Irons place to place, assembling multitudei of people, and persuading them that Easter Offerings were an undue and an unlawful exaction. -He (Mr. Cookson) knew This from a circumstance that had occurred in a part of the country with which he is intimately connected, viz. North Durham : where the Appel lant had promulgated to the inhabitants, that he had got Mr. Brougharn's opinion on the subject, and which was against the legality of all Easter Offerings. He (Mr. C.) was how ever happy to say, that another person, who was interested on the opposite side of' the question, had actually got the opi nion of that great lawyer on it, andi he stated that Easter Of ferings were due and payable of common right ! He (Mr. C.) would not enter into a history or an examination of the bent.. ficial effeets Or the disadvantages of tithes; he would say no thing on these points, but while the law of the land said they ith l st i a a n t d u in a g ste a r ll o P ti e i te r r . w Vt e ris re tstm PaY s ab d t e e c , la t r i a 'e t T io n ns 'us t t o b t e he pa c i o d ritr n a o ry " ! . ings were payable of common right, he bad no doubt his Learned Friend. Mr. Losh, as a lawyer, would allow. In sup port of his arguments, he would only quote. two casese-one in • ,the Court of Exchequer, and another Egerton and Hill," in Iptil of which they were decided to be payable of common right, though Axil), claimed by custom. The origin of Easter Offerings could not be satisfactorily traced, but their being due of common right wasof course sufficient. Haying said so much, he would pow come to the township of Chester-le-Street. Mr. Nesfield claimed le. Bd. from Peter Watson, for two years' Easter Offer hip. -Mr. Nesfield is the incumbent of Chester-le-Street. and of course entitled to the payment now demanded of Pater 'Wet . sen. These Offerings were paid to different individuals, and in different places in different manners. In sonic places they were ;Aida° thteßectoes, in others to the Vicars, and in others again to the Lay Impropriators-; and it is not a little hard that, in, all those diseuesions which had so lately been befere the public, the Clergy should be stigniatiia ei the only persons by whom all those Tithes, Oblations, and Offerings are absorbed. When charges of this nature were brought againstthis respectable body 'of -men, it should be borne in recolleetton, that they were not the only men who eat up the good things these Offerings afford ed, but that there were'also such tnen as. Lay Impropriators, in whole possession at least - half of them were.; They would know that the first step of Henry VIII., when he began his refortne tion, and diseolveti all the monasteries, the, reads of which, by this meaeure, Caine into his possession, wee to grant them to lay p_erson ? , and that under certain grants from him, not only great Tithes, but Mao small Tithes', Oblations, and Easter Offerings, became the property of Lay Impropriators. Mt. Nesfield had been the incumbent of Chester-le-Street for 30 yeere, and had A lw a ys claimed and received those Easter Offerings by common right and Common hen ce , of every house in that township, with (he ex noiiex ce p p la ti i o n n o . , t t The ilivo, „.tuutililiotuliseecsawithseicohf wererexxecnelpotieodn,hweewreoutilltel Deanery and Garden House.. The c o ti e u a rat y u her .a e s ,i t n he fu r r e i s n i e d r en ti e m e e o s f , was a Collegiate Church, and the Dan of the College. ' Now it Wu , : a ma x i m i n Le. c h m i e , Zech-site decimal! 'son earit"--(The church does not pay tithes to the church) ;—and therefore the Dean naturally would not pay tithes to himself ; • and the garden house being in like manner the residence of the Dean's gardener, it was not ex pected lie should pay any. lithe to his master. Peter might, perhaps, have heen induced to suppose, that these two solitary exceptions had destroyed the uniformity of the custom, and that the exempting of these two houses was sufficient to do away the claim upon all the others in Chester-lee Street. If only one house in fifty paid, it made no variation in the cus tom., The sum deniunded on the part of Mr. Nesfield was tenpence ; —now, if aliberal and affl uent i n di v id ua l c h ow to say, "'Your demand is tenpence, 'there is a pound note ;" that 'would not alter the Custom.;—that was a present, a gratifica tion ; but it would not alter the'practice. If, on the contrary, the 13c1. should be demanded of a poor inhabitant, who was unable to afford so Much, or whose poverty precluded him from giving any thing sit all, still that did •not alter the custom ; , but left it, as it is, perfect in 'all its parts ; anti unless Mr. Watson could chew some 'variation of a more fatal nature, the case for the consideration of the Bench would be contained in very nar row bounds. He should call before them a number of witnesses, to show the uniformity of the custom ;—the first would be the Parish Clerk, who would tell them, from the earliest period of his recollection, their ancient usage anti custom. He also had other witnesses; anti he could•produce books also to Thew, that they had been uniformly collected for a longer d been led to e x p ect pe riod ; but it would perhaps only involve die case in greater in ys tery than it need be. How then was this case al told did not o be answered? F o r his part, lie thought it was unanswerable. He was glad tiea would, hiltd, ca ebadelni)loyedaCi li al dhulcttlile A so own nPcluulsasent as a he (Mr. Cookson) Counsel confined himself to rules and re strictions, which people like Mr. Watson were not acquainted with, and therefore found it difficult to observe. 111 r. Losh, on the part of the defendant, would make a speech (and lie had no doubt it would appear at full length in the newspapers), shewing the impolicy and inexpediency of the custom; or perhaps th a t P e t er Watson was u di ssenter , (f or hi s part h e knew nothing of the man,) anti, therefore, like the Quakers ought to resist the payment of all tidies to the established Church —and perhaps at some future time the legislature might be induced to take the circumstances into their consideration, and alter the laws; but as the case stood now, all his learned friend's arguments and ingenuity would be ineffectual. He then called their attention to an Act, the 7th end 11th of William I 11. chap. 0. an Act for the more effectual recovery of small Tithes. If Watson's witnesses can contradict the legality of Easter Offerings, for God's sake let us have at end put to them, at least in the township of Chester-le-Street. Ile (Mr. Cookson) had known Mr. Nesfield from•his earliest youth, and he firmly believed him to be the last man in the world to demand that which he did not honestly and conscientiously think to be right, The Learned Counsel made a few more unimportant remarks, and sat down, relying upon his case being too strong to be over turned. Mr WI LIZ N SON then prOCCedt'd to call agentt - of t Win. Pybus, who said lie had been pari s h c l er k of (Moder le.Street thirty years.

The CHAJILMAN—But Mr. Iybus, you must hear-that gen tleman as well as the other. Witness proceeded—Never under stood that the sixpence for the offering hen was due at Martin mas t to the best of his knowledge it was due at Easter. It . a house was divided, so that every room was occupied by a distinct family or person, every room is liable to the-payment al:aster 0 Wert ngs Mr. Loser--Now, Sir, I ask you if a family were living in a house without r a fire-place. would you demand this teak or smoke penny ? Witness-1 never kne* a family live in a house without a fire.place.—(A laugh.) Mr. Loses—Nov, Sir, you have had your laugh, and the Court theirs : I shall Inman answer to my question—would you demand the smoke penny ? Witness—lf I had found a family living in a bowie without a fire-place, I should most likely have made my claim. Mr. Loses--What ! would you charge them with the smoke penny, whether they raised It or not ?—(A laugh.) Witness continued—Does not recollect whether Peter Watson or his wife paid him. Speaks from the entry in his books, and not from a recollection of the fact. The Learned Counsel here produced a summons which Mr. Pybus had obtained against a person of the name of Tinn, for Easter Dues, &c. and was proceeding to examine the witness upon it, when Mr. P. observed, " John Tinn does not live in Chester-le-Stroet." Mr. Liner—Well, Sir, what of that ? Witness—Well, Sir, I should think then, that paper has nothing to do with this cause.—(A loud laugh.) Witness proceeded—lie had obtained a summons against Tinn for lm. 2d. which included the Clerk's groat. He was told by Mr. Burrell he could not include it as not being due to Mr. Nestield, and he had inserted it to obtain it fur his own be nefit. There is only one house called the Deanery, but there has been recently a lodge built i which being in the precincts of the Deanery grounds, lie considered exempt. If houses were built all over the Deanery' grounds, he ditl not know whether or not they would be liable to Easter Offerings • he thought it would puzzle a Counsellor ! ! Does not know how many acres the Deanery grounds may contain. He has not the least idea. There are several townships in the parish of Cliester,le-street, which vary in the amount of the sum demanded for Easter Offerings. Chester-le-street pays tenpence ; Ouston only threepence, whilst the township of Lainbton pays nothing at all. Re-examined by Mr. WI Watson's house is not in the precincts of the garden. The dues must have been paid in 18111, or it could not have been entered in his books. . . . A book was then produced which contained the names of those who paid Easter Dues in 1718. Thomasia Robson, a canny, tidy-looking old woman, aged 85 years, who had lived about 70 years in Chester-le -street; George Brown, aged 79 ; Robert hay, aged 77 ; and Robert Wardrapper, who had all lived in Chester..le-street for almost all their lives, deposed to Easter Dues having been uniformly collected In that parish. Mr. Losn, on the part of the Appellant, then proceeded to address the Jury. He said, he thought his learned.friend bad dealt rather hurdle with his client, Mr. Watson, in his open lag address ; for his part, lie saw no reason why this .cause should not be conducted like all other cases..---he (Mr. LoSh) had known Mr. Nesfield as king as his Learned Friend, and he would not say he would be the last, but he would be one of the last men in the world to say any thing against his character, but would always be ready with his testimony to his private worth—bat what had been Mr. C.'s conduct in this case towards, his (Mr. L.'s) client ? lie had called him u crusader, an itine rant, and a man going about the country deceiving the people. Now, this was unjust, inasmuch as it hail nothing to do with the: case before the Court. It. was not a question viiiith depended: upon private character, but it was simply upon a point of law, whether Mr. Nesfield, as the incumbent Curate of Chester-le street, had a legal claim to collect kastcr Offiringa ; and if Mr. Peter Watson thought conscientiously they were not due by law, why should he he prevented opposing %hut he eon , ceived un unjust demand ? or why in consequence of not being in affluent circumstances himielf, was he to be pre vented soliciting the assistance of ethers, or publishing papers and pamphlets •uu the subject ? These, he (the Learned Counsel) was sorry to say, he had never read. It was the duty of his Learned Friend (Mr. Cookson) to have proved more satisfactorily than he had done, Mr. Nesliehl's claim to those Easter Offerings ; the only way in which he had attenipted to spew it was custom. His claims do not appear in any other form than by usage. His Learned Friend bud stated the prac tice was uniform ; but how h a d h e p rove d i t ? I n some places he told them, they were 'paid to the Rectors, in others to the Vicars, and in others to the Lay Impropriators. Mr. Nestield was the incumbent of Chester-le-Street, a parish which con tained several townships, and yet it appeared the payments varied ; how then could the custom be uniform, he should like to know P In the township of Lambton, for instance.. Mr. Nestield did not receive them ; and whether Mr. Lambton re ceived them himself, or whether they were paid at all, it was quite certain that they were not pocketed by Mr. Nesfield. At Ouston, tep, only threepence was demanded, and yet. they were told that the custom was uniform,--that it was perfect in all its parts. Ile had endeavoured to ascertain over what quantity of ground the Deanery grounds extended because they bad been told that a lodge, which had been recently built within its Pre cineta, was exempted; and on his asking Mr. Pybus if the whole ground was built upon would all the houses be exempted, he said, he thought it would puzzle a counsellor! Nor he (Mr, Lush) thought it would dp no such thing, tbr from the law maxim his Learned Friend had quoted, and which simply meant " The Church pays not to itself," it was evident that they would not be exempt. Mr. Cookson had called Mr. Pybus, the parish clerk, who produced an old book, to do what? why to shew that Easter Offerings were due. Nny who ever de nied it? I admit that they are due; .but the question is, to whom are they due ?—and he thought some stronger proof of the legality of Mr. Nesfield's claim should be produced b e f ore the court could allow it. He would call no witnesses, but left his case in the hands of die Bench. ---1 11Teiii:Ncit conferred, and it was unanimously decided that the Magistrates' Conviction be confirmed. The Rev. W. Nes field and Mr. Peter Airistson were both in Court ; the former on the bench, but he retired as did all the other clerical 3lagis. traces before the Court decided on the question.—(Frem thr Durham Advertiser if 0:t. 23.)

Finding their prisoner so s ubmissive, the jailer and 'the efficei readily granted the in. dulgence required ; the man deliberately washed his hands and face, and having pretty nearly prepared himself, r. 4 it was thought, to go away, he all at once gave a jump on the floor, and descended as quick as lightning through a trap door, which was as instantly closed, and the jailer and his companion were, fur the moment, petrified with astonishment. On recovering from their amazement, they tried the same experiment, but they hall not the talisman, and the trap door would not yield to their Obits, and they now sought to return by the same way that they had entered, in order to give an alarm and pursue the fugitive, when to their no swell mortification and alarm, they found their retreat cut off by the door throuh which they en tered being closed upon them ; and in this distressing dilettanti they remained for between two and three hours, tusking ai much noise as they could, to excite attention and obtain assist ance.

Bogota, June 19, 18•24. " To his Excellency Vice-Admiral Sir Lawrence Halsted, K.C.8., Cornmander-in-Chief of his Britannic Majesty's ships and vessels in the West Indies, &c. " , Sir,—Colonel Hamilton, his Britannic Majesty's principal Commissioner to the Colombian Government, h as h a d the 'kindness to deliver to me your Excellency's communication of the :10th of April last, relative to the trade now carrying on be tweeti the : island of Jamaica and the coasts of the Mosquitoe of Darien and Goagira, accompanied by a copy of the peoceodings of a meeting of the merchants and underwriters, - held in th e city of Kingston, relative to the same subject; anhaving,su mined your said communication to the consideration of the Executive, I am directed to make you 'the following reply : " As far back as the year 1819, the provinces composing the old Captaincy-General of Venezuela, and the kingdom of Gre nada, were united into one single body under the name of ' Republic of Colombia.' Under our primitive fundamental law, ass well as under that which was-subsequently premulgated in a inure solemn mummer on the 18th 0fJ,41,y, 1821, it was de. creed that the boundaries of the Republics should be the same as thotte of Venezuela and of New Grenada, when those *Ain. 'tries were subject to the jurisdiction at' the King of Spain. • " Long before this important act of the onion had passed, the limits of iNlew Grenada were perfectly defined, and laid down. They reached from the coasts in the neighbourhood of Jtiertalea, as far as Cape Oracles a Dios, including the island of Saint Andres, and others adjacent to it. The part of the coast tram Cape Grades a Dios to the river Chagres appertained for some time to the Captaincy-General of Guatimals ; •but all this ter ritory was finally incorporated. with New,Orenada, on the I.lla, of November, 1801 keicr since that period, the Spanish. A uthorities exercised over this part of the Country, as well as over the•other provinces' under their jurisdiction, all thoie acts at tendant on the poWerand dominion which Spain maintained over the lafitis (as well cultivated us uncultivated) of New Grimada, the possession of which is now completely vested in theltellfiblic • of Colombia. • " The 'merchants and underwriters of Jamaica know pelfect. ly well, that although the. British ..Authotities countenanced their trade With the ileighbouring'CoutsAtionging to the coun try, their persons, vessels; and cargoes, were nevertlieless,con: scantly exposed to the vigilance of the Spanish gutirtla- costa*, and to the risk of being captured by them wbeneverthey might be detected trading on the Said coasts. While the Spanish' G - vernment existed here, its orders on this heed were attended fa and carried into execution in the most vigorous manner t. and I can assure your Excellency, that until the year 1819, vessels from Jamaica were condemned at Carthagena, Without their ever having been reclaimed by the Britis Government, this traffic being considered illegal, according to the law of 41 civi lized nations; and in truth it is very evident, that one of the most essential rights inherent in power , and dominion, is that which every country ought .to possess of regulating rte internal and external cotranerce in the manner that may appear must just and convenient to its own interests. " Luring this long war, the Colombian Governinent abltained nevertheless from making use of its right, until it had completo the posseSsion of her territory ; the attainment of which object gave rise to the present contest. '‘ Having rrow fully - established this possession, by means of the victories that have been obtained by the Colombian arms over the Spaniards, the empire of the Republic remained, la fact, and by riht established over the territory of ancient New Grenada and Venezuela ; and it was under these circum stances that the Government issued the order of the 9th of Match, the Suspension of which you require, until it rrthy be made known ,to His Britannic Majesty's Govettiment, and un til satisfactory arrangements can, be made on behalf of all par ties concerned. " Permit me, holever, to observe to your Excellency, that the Colombian tiThverninent doea not. see :my 'necessity , for this suspension. The before-mentioned order does not lay dowu any thing contrary to the provisions of the ancient law—far from it : the relations of the merchants of Jamaica with die uncultivated coasts of Colombia are now placed upon a much more advantageous footing than that upon which they were under the ancient dominion of Spain. These relations may, in time, be rendered still better, and some restrictions may even be abolished ; but this must be the result of a special agreement with His Britannic Majesty's Government, as soon as the Re public of Colombia shall have been finally acknowledged. " What I have now stated appears to me sufficient to expose the futility of the grounds upon which the merchants and tin derwriters of Jamaica have founded the documents which they addressed to you: Although the Republic has not any .esta blishment on these coasts, this is no reason why she should, not exercise over them the dominion and power which she has law fully acquired. Such a principle would be pernicious to the peace and tranquillity of the • civilised world, and would give rise to endless discords and disgusts. " (live me leave to add another reason, whicTi in irititnately 'connected with the repose of Colombia, in the actual state of warf.ire in which she is unfortunately engaged. The, Spa niardssavages, in order to increase the horrors and catatonia' of the snuggle. It is very probable, now that th e y d o have on several occasions availed themselves of the not may renew their intrigues with those 'wandering tribes, who have pesos one single spot of land in this. country, that they no bo r n e whatever . , and whom it is but. too easy to employ when t hey are permitted to carry death, pillage, and desolation amon g their neighbours. Humanity require!, then, that every legal means ahribld be resorted to that may tend to• prevent loc a horrid state of things ; and I trust. your Excellency, that no measure is, or can he efficacious as the prohibition of every kind of foreign trade with them direct. " The direct trade—that is, the trade carried on from our ports in national and foreign vessels, with(iougna, Darien, an d the part of the itinsquito coast belonging to Colombia—is per mittedby my Government in the most liberal form. Such ves. sell as may be desirous afrommunicating with these coasts, anti of trading with the ravages, have no other obligation to fulfil than that of coming to WO nearest port open to foreign tra d e, and of entering at the customhouse their respective cargoes, from from which must be excluded all articles generally known by' twelve reels per ton.
