LAW INT6LLIGENCE. COURT OF RING'S BENCH, MAY 19. BELL V. THE LATE SHERIFFS OF MIDDLESEX. This was an action against the late Sheriffs of Middlesex, to recover the rent of certain lodgings, hired of the plaintiff by his Grace the Duke of Marlborough. Mr. Scatmerr and Mr. .CIIITTY conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. MARRYAT and Mr. llot r the defendant's. -The case was in substance this :—The plaintiff, us widow lady, residing in the neighbourhood of .Manchester•square; had let lodgings to the Duke of Marlborough. It appeared that his Grace did not reside there, lit . came there occasion ally to dress. Property to a considerable amount was sent to the lodgings at thffment times on his Grace's account. After a considerable arrear of rent was due, three execution; were pot in upon his Grace's property, and a broker's man was put into possession. The plaintiff immediately gave no tice to into Sheriff's Officers, flopkin's and Laver, of her hen upon the property for rent due. They assured her that she should be paid out of the proceeds of the property, which was afterwards valued at 3001. and the ;Noble Duke redeemed it by paying the money, but the plaintiff was never paid. undertaking and new brought her action upon the Officer's and promise. The case went to the Jury under the Learned Judge's directions, add they found a verdict for the plaintiff, Damages 1161. los. being the amount of rent due from the 19th of April to the lOth of July, at the rate of seven guideas . a. week. FOR THE SUN. IREE TRADE. 'llll. torroß—Feeling the Question, whether it he.' policy in, this‘Cotnilry to give increased la:- ell y to.tl,e importation of timber from the North of ;ttrope," to beone upon which the vital int,e rest of this marilinse nation greatly depends, and then fore that no step should be taken in it with out lie most mature deliberation, I wish to ask of tl)se merchants, the ad v ocates of " Free Irrad," who are so ardent in ptirsuit of that ob ject, be jollowink questions Whalwas the value of British goods exported to the North of Euror, previous to the period when this country, being threaten& by our enemies with the pima of asupply of tiai bee from lie Baltic for the ase of our dock-yards, encourage ment wasirst given to import it from the British,Colonies in North Antlica ? What wee the tonnage at that period employed in the im portation o:timber front the North of Europe; and, of that tonnage, wlat proportion was British ? What wer. the tonnage and nomher of seamen, at that period, emphyed in the trade to the British North-American Colonies ? Wliat were the amount of tonnage and number of seamen so msployed is the year 1819 ? Wliat was the amount of British goods annually exported to those Colonies previous to that period? \Vlat has been the subsequent annual export ? Mat are the grounds for concluding that the exportation British goods to countries in the north of Europe would he greater now, than formerly, if increased facility were given to the importation of their timber ? Are there ni,t several reasons for thinking that the expor tatioa of British goods would be much less ?. Are there any reasons for supposing . . that the proportion of Brits!) ships to he employed in the importation of foreign timier would be greater than at the period before men tioned ? What arethe channels to which the ships now employed in the itrip4rtation of timber from the British Settlements in North Ainerica and Aftrica might be advantageously transferred, in tla event of their being thrown out of that trade? What would become of the .17,000 seamen, and upwards, who savigate them, if no such new trade could be found? What Would be the consequences to the Owners of British 'lino in general, and to the Owners of Ships in the British Colonial Trade in particular ? What would become of the valuable trade with Sierra Levee, from whiCh so much advantage to this nation, and he nefitto the poor Africans, have been anticipated ? is the importation of timber from the British Settlements a profitable trade to the timber-merchaut; or - does it merely and barely pay height to the ships employed in it? If the latter, would not any discouragement to that trade, arid encoura4etnent to the foreigner, be immediately follow ed by large importations of timber front the north of Europe? and, in such case, would not the facility affordeditv onr bond ing stsletn have the effect of paralyzing, if not wholly crush ing, the trade with the British Colonies? . In that case, what . would become of our industrious coun trymen who have been encouraged to emigrate and establish theratelves in those colonies, and of the large capitals ene 7 harked therein? • Unless these questions can he satisfactorily answered, it surety tiecOmes• us to pause "before Ave aticnruf - arry - ntter'arion in the existing laws: 1 must presume that those Merchants .who at ardently seek such change are prepared, and I invite them to answer them through the medium of your Paper. If they eo not, I shall, With your indulgence, endeavour to do so mysa. A BRITISH MERCHANT. SUNDALI. V. CHURCH. JONES, AND COLLIER. This was an action to recover damages for an assault com mitted on the Plaintiff. The Defendant Church had suffered judgment to go by default; J ors pleaded Nut Guilty; and Collier pleaded a justification. The Plaintiff,who turned out to be an unfortunate lunatic, pleaded his own cause. It appeared upon the face uf the pro ceedings that be had occupied a lodging at the house of Jones, in Gooch-street, Oxford-market. \Four years ago he was afflicted with illuess; and Mr. Collier, who is a respecta ble medical man, was called to his assistance. 'Finding him in a state ut lunacy, Mr. Collier put on a strait waistcoat, and tied him down to the bed. He was assisted by Church, a parish constable. The plaintiff was sonic time after con veyed to Burrows's madhouse at Hoxton, where he remained three weeks. The plaintiff, under these eh-um:stances, sought to lecturer damages. _ _ Mr. Gaset.EE, who 'appeared as Counsel for Mr. Collier, proved, by a witness named Morgan, that the plaintiff, at the time he was secured in a strait waistcoat, was in a state of violent insanity. The unhappy man on this occasion appeared to be suffzring under the same malady. The CHM' JUSTICE said, the evioence would warrant the Jury in finding a verdict for the defendant Collier; who nail justified; but witti respect to Jones, who bad pleaded Not Goitty,-and Church, Who had suffered judgment logo , by de fault, they ought to find some - damages. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant Collier ; and for' the plaintiff, as against .'hunch and Jones, Damages Is.

The Hall was filled at a very early hour, and shortly before t tvo'o'clork, the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Duke of YORK and the Archbishop of CAN tEIIBURY, entered, and took the Chair, amidst very general approbation. The examination of the children commenced almost immediately, and their intelligence and information alternately astonished and delighted the audience. A numerous party of Gentlemen, friends to the Institution, afterwards dined - together at the City of London Tavern ; the Duke of York in the Chair. The Lord Mayor sat on his right han I, and on his left Prince Leopold. After the usual loyal and'apprupriate toasts were given, the Lord Mayor proposed the health of " His Hoyt.' Highness the Duke of York, one of the Patrons of the Society."—Drank with three times three. The Duke of Yenta rose amidst general acclamation. He had to thank the Lord Mayor and that Assembly for the very flattering distinction they had just conferred upon him, and still more for the exalted sentiment with which they had connected him. To be elected Patron of a Society whose oh jeet was to form the mind's of the youth of this country on just principles of religion and loyalty, could not fail to be grateful to him—to be so elected when the Bishop of their Diocese was his colleague, increased, if possible, that gratifi cation; and if any, thing.could - add to that pleasure, it was the consciousness that he owed that. distinguished honour to the principles in which ha had been educated.— (Applause.)—. lie was convioced - tbrit in assisting their Institution be was but Aissemiilating those principles, and they might, therefore, . rely with confidence upon his constant support and exertions' in behalf of that Institution.—(Applause.) The health of Prince Leopold was then proposed ; and drank with three times three. Prince LEDROLD said, that ha stood so connected with this country, that he should feel it to be his duty to support an Institution so laudable in its origin and so beneficial in its consequences 'as the one to elicit their attention had been devoted.—(Applause.) The Duke of Yulta then proposed the health of the Bishop of London, which was drank with three times three. The Itisnov of LONDON felt deeply indebted to that meet ing for the honour they had been pleased to confer on him. Some events, he observed, had lately taken place which had indisposed people from feeling as deep an interest as formerly in the education of the poor; it had been observed that the multitude of juvenile offenders had nut been diminished, but on the contrary increased, since the commencement of the system of National Education ; and he admitted that there was sonic colour of troth'in the observation ; but the causes of that increase were quite tmeonnected with education. If it could be shewn that crime abounded among those who were e d uca t e d in th e same peoportiou as among the uneducated, then indeed he should be:ready to allow that education was pernicious, or useless, or next to useless; - but he wOlll.l IDeDtiqll two circumstances which had some weight in the consideration of that subject. The first was, the testimony of the Chief Law Officer of London, the Recorder, who stat ed that few juvenile offenders had been educated; and the second was, the information which lie had received from the Chaplain of the Milbank Penitentiary, who discovered that Only two out of 400 persons confined there had been educat ed at,National Schools. With such experience, then, ,before them, could they hesitate to pursue that good path which had produced such incalculable advantages to Society ? (Cheers.) The Duke of Yoga then proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, which was drank with considerable enthusiasm. The 10RD MAYOR returned thanks. ' 'the next toast given was—" The City of London and the National Schools." Mr. 11A1C11 afterwards detailed the progress of the Society s4sce their last Anniversary; and immediately afterwards he Duke of York, acCompanied by Prince Leopold aid the Lord Mayor, retired. The meeting shortly afterwards separated. [Morning ; Post ] THE Quer.N.—The repc►rt in all the Papers of yesterday, of the concluding sentence or Mr. Brougham's 'speech in the CoUrt of Chancery, was incorrectly given. r-le did not say that the cause of the delay there alluded to would he remov ed by the immediate return of her Majesty; his observation was, that the cause of complaint, viz, the want• of her Ma jesty's answer in the suit, would be removed immediately on tier return. [Morning Herald.] THE QUEEN.-4t is said that her Majesty is expected to ar. rivc in England the first week in June, but her Majesty dOes not intend to reside on her arrival at Kensington Palace, her apaitinents there being quite unfurnished, and no 'orders Laving hitherto been given for re-furnishing them for her reception. It is supposed that some ready furnished house will be taken for the present, until a residence is provided suitable to her flank. ALI PACIIA.—We hare been favoured, from a most respect. able quarter, with the following extract of a private letter from Venice, dated May 3 :—" A vessel, which has just ar rived-here, and which left Corfu as late as the 26th of April, brings the news that Ali Pacha, of Janina, was summoded by the Grand Seignor to proceed to Constantinople; and that uiinn lils refusing to obey the summons,. be .was declared a rebel. Ali, on his side, has declared himself independent of the Porte, and, with the utmost haste, augnacnts.his army to defend himself. It is also said, that Ali has dec l ared him self King of Epirus, and had himself baptized. He had his headquarters at Prevesa, where he caused an oath of fidelity to be taken, nut only by the Turks, but by the Greeks, at the same time appealing to all Greece to defend the independence and religion of the nation."—(Aid.) [New Times.] By letters which have been received from the Isle of France, dated Bth February last, it appears that the fever which had lately,sasged there with such violence, had considerably dimi nished in its effect. The injury done to the commerce of the place, and the consequent loss, hare, however, been very seri ous. Upwards 'of 5000 black slaves have perished; and, can. sidering the population of the island to be not ahove 80,000, this proportion is very great ; besides which; about ISO of the white inhabitants have fallen victims to the dreadful peSti fence. Whin these letters left the island, commerce had loomed its activity, and there appeared every probability •f the fever being entirely subdued. THE CLERGY. The following Bill being now in its progress through ParHarnett!, we insert it fur the iufotma. tion of our Clerical Readers A BILL, intituled, " An Act to amend and render more ef. fectual an Act, passed in the fifty-fifth year of his late Ma jesty's Reign, for enabling Spiritual Persons to exchange their Parsonage Houses or Glebe Lands, and for other purposes therein mentioned." Whereas an Act was passed in the Fifty-fifth year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Third, Intanled, " An Act for enabling Spiritual Persons to exchange the " Parsonage or Glebe Houses or ,Glebe Lands belonging. to " their Benefices, for others of greater Value, or more con " veniently situated for o their Residence and Occupation ; and' " for annexing such Housceand Lands, so taken in Exchange, " to such Benefices as Parsonage or Glebe Houses and Glebe " Lands, and for purchasing and annexing Lands to become " Glebe in certain cases, and for other purposes :" And whereas it • is by the said tecited Act enacted, That the Bishop shall, in cases of exchange and purchase under the said Act, issue a Commission of Inquiry, for the purposes therein-mentioned, to be directed to such Persons as are therein described, and of whom one shall be a Barrister of three years standing at the least,. to be named by the senior Judge of Nisi Prius for the County in which the Benefice, Perpetual Curacy, or Parochial Chapelry, whereto it shall be proposed to annex any Buildings or Land, by exchange or , purchase under the said Act, shall be situate: But inasmuch as the nomination of such Barrister by a Judge of Nisi Prins is nut applicable to the County of Middle sex; be it therefore enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Par liament assembled, and by the authority of the sante, that where any exchange or purchase shall be made, or be pro posed to be made, under the Authority of the said Act, in any Benefice, Perpetual Curacy, or Parochial Chapelry, situate within the said County of Middlesex, such Barrister shall be named by the Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, for the time being, or by the Chief Justice of the Couttof Commun. Pleas at Westminster for the time being. And whereas it is by the said recited Act enacted, That so much of the Forms contained in the Schedules of the said therein-recited Acts of the seventeenth and twenty-first years of his then (and now late) Majesty King George the Third, as were applicable to the provisions of that Act, should, with such variations thereof as should render them so applicable, be used and applied to the purposes of that Act; hut inasmuch as the said Forms contained in the said Schedules are not adapted to the provisions of the said. first-recited Act, and the endeavours so to apply the said Forms have been attended with inconvenience ; he it therefore further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That so much of the said first-recited Act a ti s directs that the Forms contained in the Schedules of the said Acts of the seventeenth and twenty-first yews of the reign of his said late Majesty, should he used and applied to the purposes of the said first recited Act, shall be and the same is hereby repealed.
