A document, which will be found elsewhere, is eminently worthy of a calm and attentive perusal, and of deep and serious consideration. Much will depend on the tone and manner of its reception and the results it may eventually produce. The reputa tion of the British Government in India is involved in the issue. It remains to be discovered whether they will preserve—we should, perhaps, say regain— the character of equity and justice that is of such vital importance to British interests in Hindostan, a cha racter which has been deeply injured, if not altogether forfeited by recent transactions. It was owing to the high estimation in which the honour, the integrity and the moderation of the East India Company was, formerly held, that we were enabled to achieve such extraordinary triumphs in the East, and to consoli date the power of the British empire. The native Princes had learned to repose implicit confidence in the fidelity with which England regarded her en gagements, and to believe that so long as they con ducted themselves in a fair and straightforward man ner, they w ould be suffered to continue in the enjoyment of all their rights and privileges, not only without invasion on our part, tut that we would prove their most strenuous supporters and protectors. That confidence was indeed more valuable to England than myriads of armed cohorts. It prevented many formidab'e conspiracies, and most probably a general combination and confederacy - of the native Powers against British supremacy. If it were supposed that our policy would be to maintain a system of constant aggression ; to dethrone Sovereign Princes on the most frivolous pretexts ; to confiscate their dominions, and annex them without scruple to our own territories ; to look upon'solemn treaties as so much waste paper, that might be set aside and disregarded whenever it suited our convenience to do so, all parties would feel it to be their interest to unite against the Common Enemy, and to drive from their shores a bold and unscrupulous race, whose power was fraught with the most pernicious consequences —a fearful struggle would have long since com menced, of which it would be impossible to forese e the final termination. But so great a calamity ha hitherto been averted, because we have preserved at least the appearance and semblance of justice. We have ruled by good opinion, by conciliating native prejudices, and appeasing native suspicion, and if WO bh01:1(1 now cast aside the mask, and openly and un disguisedly seize upon the territories of our allies, merely le. cause our power enables us to do so, and to despise the remonstrances addressed to us, we shall deeply injure our real interests, and seriously endanger our Indian empire. The document to which we have alluded is an appeal from a devoted and faithful man, who has con tinued to support the cause of his lawful SOVEHEION , through unexampled difficulties, with an abillity, fidelity, and zeal that is beyond all praise. The case of the unfortunate PERT/kJ:JD SINGH, late Raja of Sat tara, has been so fully and repeatedly brought before the public, that it is almost a work of supererogation to allude at any length thereto. It has been heard within the walls of Parliament, at the Court of Direc tors in Leadenhall-street, and wafted on the wings of the press throughout the length and breadth of the land. Every effort has, we regret to be obliged to say, been made to suppre s s investigation, and to prevent that full and searching inquiry into all the circumstances of the case that was so urgently de manded. Ridicule has been unsparingly resorted to in order to deter the friends of justice from taking up he cause of an oppressed and injured Prince, who was deprived of his sovereignty, driven into exile, and detained in custcdy, after a mock trial, in which his case was prejudged, and in which evidence was received and acted on that would not be considered sufficient to justify the conviction and imprisonment of the most contemptible pickpocket in this country. The injured Prince, who was condemned on such testimony, without even being heard in his own &fence, died broken-hearted in imprisonment. But his rights did not perish with him; they sur vived to one who, by the most sacred custom of the Hindoo law, became entitled to all the privileges of a child of the deceased Raja, who is also his nearest surviving relative, and who, therefore, by a double claim, must be regarded as his lawful heir and suc cessor, and of whose innocence there can be no doubt or question. When PERTAUB SINGu was so unjustly and ille gally deposed and incarcerated some show of jus tic© is as at least rniantained ; t h e form of a trial was gone through, although its result was a foregone conclusion. But even then there was „ attempt to seize his dominions, or annex them to the Anglo-Indian territory. His brother, ArrA SAHIB, was rsLed to the throne, and a new treaty entered into with him. It was distinctly stated at the time that the British Government " had no intention of taking the country for its use, or of increasing its possessions by the measure." They declared that they had only transferred the sovtreignty to the Raja's younger brother ;" and thus the ap pearance of disinterestedness was maintained. APPA SAHIB has, however, since died, and the Indian Government, casting aside all disguise and THE SUN, disregarding the clear and unquestionable title of TRIALBUIC.T2E RAJA, the adopted son of PERTAUB and heir male of both the deceased Rajas, have openly and unblushingly seized upon the territory into its own hands. Under such circumstances it is that RUNG° I BAPOGEE, the indefatigable and faithful Vakeel of the late PERTAUR SINGH, who was deputed by him to bring his wrongs before the British public, and who maintains his allegiance to the now 11%ja, de jure, has addressed a letter to the several Princes and Chiefs of India, complaining of the grossly illegal and unjustifiable conduct of the East India Company to his deceased SOVEREIGN, and more especially of their refusal to recognize the " right of adoption," a custom that has been sanctioned from time immemo rial in India, and the abrogation of which would be regarded with the greatest horror by the Hindoos. This address has not been circulated surreptitiously or secretly. The writer has forwarded a literal translation to the Court of ,Directors; in it he de scribes his own despair. " A foreigner in a strange land," "in the midst of difficulties," and his desire to forewarn his compatriots of the dangers to which they are exposed from the aggressive disposition of the Company—such an appeal cannot be slighted or despised. The home truths it contains cannot be got rid of by sneers or ridicule, nor can it be suppressed by the tactics usually displayed by the Court of Directors. An article has appeared in a morning Contemporary attempting to slight and despise its contents, and to remove the impression it must have made on every unbiassed reader, which so strongly smacks of Leadenhall-street that it may be regarded as the official answer of the Directors. The pen of the assailant of " NAPIER," the opponent of the Hero of Meeanee and Hyderabad, is perceptible in every line ; and yet, despite of such attempts, that gallant soldier was invested with the high office of Commander in-Chief in India by the voice of public opinion, a power which the Directors did not dare to disobey ; and the same power will we doubt not eventually lead to the vindication of the much wronged PERTAINS SINGH, and the recognition and establishment of his lawful heir on the throne of Sattara. RurGo BeroGEE, although now overwhelmed with despair, will receive the reward of his unceasing exertions when he beholds his master firmly esta blished in his dominions. He will be regarded as a model of true fidelity and unflinching courage— qualities that will ever command the respect and admiration of Englishmen, and not be considered proper subjects for ridicule, whatever SirtTAMES Hoc G or his brother Directors may think to the contrary. Yielding to the generous importunities of friend ship, CHARLES PHILLIPS, the distinguished barrister, has at length dissipated the cloud of slanderous im putations which has been thickening round him for nine years, ever since his memorable defence of the murderer Cc:mayors'Ea. Now that we have perused his eloquent and dignified explanations, we can fully understand the reluctance with which he has hitherto shrunk from the vindication of his character. His unspeakable disgust at the course, the flagrant and impudent course, pursued by his calumniator cannot fail to receive the sympathy of every man not entirely divested of right principles. Outraged in his noblest and dearest feelings, stabbed in his reputa tion, with his good name branded by the invisible hand of a detractor, no marvel he recoiled with a sentiment of absolute loathing before the in sinuations of his assailant 1 No wonder he scorned any attempt at extenuating conduct which he knew well in his heart required no extenuation whatever Exquisitely sensitive, as every gentleman must be in regard to matters relating to the most delicate recesses of his conscience, it is no subject of astonishment to us that Mr. PHILLIPS has not condescended to repel charges of such peculiar atrocity until actually com pelled to do so by the solicitations, or, as we have al ready expressed it, through the generous importunities of friendship. Circumstances re ferring to the crime perpetrated by the IiANNINGS in Bermondsey having in some measure revived the slanders directed against Mr. Pnreurs, as the counsel intrusted with the defence of COUR. VOISIER, he is at last adjured by one of his most intimate acquaintance to break a silence which, if longer preserved, would necessarily seem to confirm in the public mind the veracity of the traducer. To Mr. WARREN, the celebrated novelist, is due the merit of having, by his earnest appeals, elicited from his unwilling friend, for once and for ever, a brilliant and conclusive refutation. In spite of reiterated refusals, Mr. WARREN renewed his entreaties, and it mast be peculiarly gratifying to him to find that ultimately those en treaties have proved successful. "You know well," says Mr. PHILLIPS, in the letter transferred the other evening to our own columns from those 0' morning Contemporary—" you know well how strenuously and how repeatedly you pressed me to my vindication, especially after Lord DENMAN'S im portant conversation with you, and you know the stern disdain with which I dissented." Notwithstand ing that resolute repulse, the voice of friendship again demanded the vindication, which in obedience to its noble solicitude has at last been granted. Reflecting that almost every one has already perused the document in which Mr. CHARLES Femurs has finally exposed the falsehood of the various statements made in reference to his line of proceeding in defence of the infamous COURVOISIRR, it would be superfluous on our part to transcribe again, one by one, his in controvertible because strictly sequential arguments. Apart from all deliberate explanation, he could scarcely but have stood acquitted in the eyes of even the most suspicious observer from the inferential tes timony afforded as to his integrity; such testimony, fur example, as !he favourable opinion of Lord DEN MAN, and the judicial appointments granted to Mr. Ph iutrs by two ex-Chancellors subsequently to the occurrence said to have reflected so much odium upon his character. Not, however, with such indirect evidences of the truthfulness of his conduct is he con tented in a matter to him of such supreme importance. He brings forward as the witnesses of his perfect innocence in those deplorable transactions —Mr. CLAuxsorr, who was his colleague in defence of the murderer ; Mr. Baron Perms, who was present throughout the trial; Chief Justice TINDAL, who acted upon the occasion in his judicial capacity; and the contemporary reports of the four principal morning newspapers, the Times, Herald, Post, and Chronicle. From the broad and unanswerable facts asseverated by Mr. PHILLIPS, it is conspicuous that so far from endeavouring to throw the crime upon the female servants whom he knew to be innocent, in order to screen the detestable wretch whom he knew to be guilty—Mr. PHILLIPS solemnly exclaimed in the course of his address to the jury, " GOD forbid that any breath of mine should send persons depend ing on the public for subsistence into the world with a tainted character !" Disproving the declaration that he had acted thus cruelly, he has vindicated himself likewise from the horrible criminality of having appealed to Heaven as to his belief in the innocence of COURVOISIER. In a previous portion of his letter he has already given the following account of the time, the place, and the manner of the confes sion made by that detestable monster : " It was on the secobd morning of the trial, just be fore the Judges entered, that Courvoisier, standing publicly in front of the dock, solicited an interview with his counsel. My excellent friend and colleague, Mr. Clarkson, and myself immediately approached him. I beg of you to mark the presence of Mr. Clarkson, as it will become very material presently. Up to this morning I believed most firmly in his innocence, and so did many others as well as myself. I have rent for you, genii( - men,' said he, to tell you I committed the murder l' When I could speak, which was not immediately. I said, Of course, then, you are going to plead guilty ?" No, sir,' was the reply, I expect you to defend me to the utraos'.' We returned to our seats. My position at this moment was, I believe, without parallel in the annals of the profession." _ _ Dissuaded from his original intention of throwing up the case, both by the sagacious advice of his col league, Mr. CLARKSON, and by the peremptory opinion of Mr. Baron PARKE, the horror-stricken counsel pleaded for the murderer's life in that unfor- tunate speech which has been made the subject of such grievous and wilful misrepresentations. Re pelling the odious accusation above alluded to with the most profound scorn, and the most impassioned indignation, the orator closes his rebuttal of the charge with these touching and thrilling ejacula tions : " What! appeal to Heaven for its testimony to lie, and act expect to be answered by its lightning? what! LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24 slake such an appeal, conscious that an honourable col- I ante at his door; but he did not take his 'departure, league sat beside me whose valued friendship I must as expected." have for ever forfeited? But, above all and beyond all, and too monstrous for belief, would I have dared to utter that falsehood in the very presence of the Judge to whom, but the day before, I had confided the reality ? There, upon the bench above me, sat that time-honoured man—that upright magistrate, pure as his ermine, nu , rowly satcLinp; ' every word I said. Had I dared to make an appeal so horrible and so impious—had I dared so to outrage his nature and my own conscience, he would have stsrted from his seat and withered me with a glance. No, Warren, I never made such an appeal; it is a malignant untruth, and sure I am, had the person who coined it but known what had previously occurred, he never would have uttered from his lib,l mint so very clumsy and self-proclaiming a counterfeit." The vindication, we repeat, is conclusively trium phant. To impute the smallest particular of blame to Mr. PHILLIPS henceforth in reference to his conduct on the trial of Couavoisiass, would be as idle and preposterous as to reiterate those absurd and frivolous charges .ivhich were levelled at Mr. Sergeant W/LKINS upon the occasion of his admirable defence of the wretched miscreant MANNING. In both cases we cannot but think that the aspersions cast against these distinguished pleaders has originated from a misapprehension of the enormous responsibilities devolving upon counsel. Such at least is the most charitable conclusion to be drawn in regard to persons whom we would prefer to regard as foolish assailants rather than as intentional and ingenious calumniators. [LIE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In the Assembly on Thursday M. BAROCHE pre- sided instead of M. DurtN, and M. ANTONT THOURET placed in his hands a resolution of censure on M. Durnt, for the illegal, unfair, and partial manner in which he had acted on the previous day, in permitting M. SEGUE D'AUGUESSEIU to insult the Republic without calling him to order, and in calling to order thirty Members at once who protested against the insults of M. SEGUE, The proposition was received by M. BAROCHE. who immediately moved the order of the day, put the question without suffering any discussion, and decided that the order of the day was carried by an immense majority. M. DuriN, however, will not be suffered to escape by this paltry manoeuvre. A protest has been signed by upwards of 120 represen tatives against the proceedings of 111. DuriN ; and the Seid of Louis PHILIPPE will not be permitted without interruption to pursue his designs for the betrayal of the Republic, and for opening the road to power to the colleagues of the TESTES, the CUBIERES, and the PRASLINS. The Democratie Pacifique was seized yesterday. The Constitutionnel contradicts the report of the intended recal of the Governor-General of Algeria. The Committee of inquiry into the state of the navy met for the first time on Thursday, and sat for five hours. The PRESIDENT of the Republic visited the Theatre Historique on Thursday evening. On his appearing in his box he was received with enthusiastic cheers. It is his intention to visit all the theatres of Paris during the course of the winter. Galignani's Jlessen'er of Thursday contains the following useful information on the subject of the postage between France and England : .. " As some misapprehension exists respecting the rates of postage on letters between France and England, we think it right to lay before our readers the following statement, which the Yost-office authorities have favoured us with :—The reduced rate of 80c. for a letter weighing 7 grammes, and so on in proportion, has reference to those letters only the postage of which is paid in France, whether on dispatch or delivery, while those paid in England remain chargeable with the same rate of post age to which they have hitherto been subject in that country, namely, tenpence for a letter weighing under a quarter of an ounce (7i grammes). Letters may also be prepaid in France by means of postage stan3ps, to the amount of 80c., if the weight do not exceed 7f grammes; but if a letter be posted in England bearing eight penny stamps only, it is considered unpaid, and the stamps are lost, which also occurs in the case of letters from Eng land to which ten penny stamps have been affixed. We think it also well to mention that letters to foreign parts prepaid by means of postage stamps may be posted in all the letter boxes throughout Paris, and also that letters so prepaid are received at the General Post-office, Rue J. J. Rousseau, until a quarter past five, whereas unpaid letters, and those the postage of which is paid in money, continue to be received, as formerly, only until five o'clock." The Threo per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Friday at 57f.; the Five per Cents. at 89f. 90c. ; Rouen Railroad Shares, 527 f. 50c.; Havre, 233 f. 75c. ; Great Northern, 445 f. ; Avignon, 2201. ; Vierzon, 300 f.; Balse, 1021. 50e. ; Bordeaux, 3981. 75c.; Paris and Strasburgh, 3571. 50c.; Tours and Nantes, 2801. BUSH kSS 00NE IN FOREIGN RAILWAI AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 23. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Nov. 22.—The strike among the weavers at Ghent still continues, but they are beginning to come round and make proposals for an accommodation. The manufacturers, on the other hand, hold out, and persist in not making any concessions, being con vinced that the question involves the very existence of the cotton manufacture. In one of the mills some of the people have resumed work, but they were obliged to have a body of police to protect them in going in and coming out. It is impossible that this state of things can continue beyond another week, for the workmen are quite at a stand-still; all their re sources are exhausted, and the people refuse to give them credit.

G E R AI A N Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The EMPEROR left Vienna for Prague on the evening of the 18th. The Ministers SCHWARZEN• BERG and BACH accompanied him. The Archduke FERDINAND has gone to Frohsdorff to visit the Duc DE BORDEAUX and the Bourbons. PRUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette of the 21st announces that on the 20,h the Chambers terminated their discussion of the articles relative to the constitution of public in struction. Article 21 was adopted, as passed by the First Chamber, and is as follows : In the establishment of public military schools every respect shall be paid to their religious per suasion. 'iue religious instruction in the popular schools shall be conducted by the various religious bodies to which the pupils belong. The conduct of secular affairs shall be regulated by the commune in which the school is situated. The Government has the appointment of professors from among a list of ap• proved candidates. . . _ _ Article 22 was adopted as amended by the Com mission. The commune shall supply the funds necessary for the establishment, support, and en largement of popular public schools. In such cases where it is proved that the commune does not possess the requisite funds, the deficiency shall be made up by the state. The state shall guarantee a competent salary to the teachers according to the local circumstances of the commune. Instruction is imparted gratuitously in the popular public schools. Article 23 was adopted provisionally until the creation of a special board on instruction, until which time the present mode of instruction will remain in vigour. From the same journal we extract the following "The Council ofAdministration, in an extraordinary sitting held the day before yesterday, has at length adopted a resolution which will be of the greatest importance to Germany. " All the plenipotentiaries of the Federal States were present except those of Hanover, Saxony, and Mecklenburg Strelitz. _ " The sitting wax opened by the Prussian Plenipo tentiary, President of the Council, who read notes from Hanover and Saxony of the Ist and 4th Nov., and the replies thereto by Prussia. " He then proposed that they should be submitted to the committee for the modification of the projects. "This proposition was adopted, and the council then proceeded to fix the terms for the elections. The interval from this day to the kith January appeared too short, and the 31st was consequently agreed upon. The resolution to convoke the sitting of the Diet at Erfurt was passed unanimously. " The above resolutions were communicated imme• diately by the Administrative Council to the Presi dent of the two Chambers." The semi•official lithographed correspondence says —"The report the committee drawn up by Mr. CAMPEAUSEN, from the documents deposited in the ministry, relative to the German question, speaks very energetically against those Governments which separated from the alliance of the 28th of May. It proves also the advantage which will accrue to Prussia by the treaty of the 30th September, by settling all the differences of that kingdom with Austria." SCHLESWIG. The appointment of Baron VON EYGERS, as super intendent of police to the city of Schleswig, causes great: dissatisfaction, for not only is the present superintendent, M. VON ALILEFELDT, very much liked, but it is asserted that warrants have been issued by the Provisional Government for the appre hension of Baron VON EYGERS, and that the Supreme Court of Schleswig has been commissioned to insti tute proceedings against him.—Hamburgh Corre spondent. The Borsenhalle, in an article dated Flensburg, Nov. 19, says:—" During the last few days we have heard it said that to-day Baron Vox Eyraus will gu to Schleswig, and resume his former post of commissioner of police. Many individuals have even been named , who were to accompany him as a safe escort. - To-day the carriage which was to take him to the place of his destination was actually i 8 Attend- TURKEY. Letters from Orsova state that the Hungarian re fugees, before their departure from Widdin to Shumla, were addressed by KOSSUTH, who eulogised in enthusiastic terms the generous conduct of the Porte and of the Padischa, and declared that Turkey had acquired for herself imperishable glory by her generous hospitality. He also praised England for the energetic attitude she had assumed ; and assured his countrymen that in a new war, and by new victories, they would again conquer the liberties of Hungary. GREECE. The Greek Chambers were prorogued on the 30th of October. They are to meet again on the 22d of December. The following note has been addressed to Mr. WYsE by the Greek Minister for Foreign Affairs : " ATHENS, OCT. 28, 1849. " TO TUE RIGHT HON. THOMAS WYSE, MINISTER PLENI- POTENTIARY OF HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY. " Sir,—ln a message to the President of the lonian Senate, of the date of the 9th of this month, and pub lished in the official journal of the lonian Government. and in which Mr. Ward, the Lord High Commissioner, gives an account of the discovery which he has just made of the secret society called the Great Fraternity (La Grand Fraternity), the object of which was to revo lutionise Italy, Turkey in Europe, and the lonian Islands, the following passage occurs:— "' The conspirators presume, as your Highness will see in a letter found in the possession of Signer Val liano, that their projects have royal support, and that the plans which good faith and good sense reject, are looked upon with no disfavour by a neighbouring Sovereign. " Such an observation, introducing an august name, and not even being accompanied, on the part of him who thought proper to use it, by any censure or disapproba. Lion of those who have permitted themselves to conceive or express such ideas, must naturally have outraged the feelings of the government of the King, who is so plainly made the object of this attack. " This was, besides, so much the more unexpected, and the more to be regretted, inasmuch as it is a matter of public notoriety, and was also within the knowledge of the Lord High Commissioner, that Signor Valliano, in whose possession the letter in question was found, having combined with the deserter Merediti, in the re bellion of the latter, and in the plunder of the bank at Patras, would have infallibly been at this moment in the hands of justice, if he had not contrived to escape to Corfu with his accomplices. It can easily be under stood from this that such an individual could have no connexion with the g overnment of the King, and could have possessed no in fluence with his Majesty. " On the other hand, Mr. Ward is not ignorant that on the demand of the British legation the King's Go vernment has taken care to remove from those parts of Greece adjoining the lonian Islands lonian refugees, in order to prevent them from keeping up any intercourse with the favourers of disturbances in the islands; and that, in order as much as in it lay to discourage them, it even prohibited them from residing in that capital, wishing thus to dissipate any idea that they could derive advice or assistance from any source whatever. " With such facts in evidence of its sentiments of in tegrity and its sincerity, the Government of the King deems it unnecessary to protest under the circumstances, feeling no doubt that the Government of her Britannie Majesty will also consider that the respect and regard which are due to august personages, and the courtesies practised in international communications, have been misunderstood in the insertion and publication of re marks such as .those of Mr. Ward. (Signed) G. GLAWKIS. Minister for Foreign Affairs. 1 T A 1.4 Y.

SIR,—I earnestly request you to make known, by the publication of this litter in the columns of The Sun, that an audacious fraud has lately been practised on the nobility and other persons of influence, and by so doing to clear me from the foul stigma which it has endeavoured to fix upon me. Letters have been written in my name, from 16, Upper Stamford street, Blackfriars, falsely represent ing myself and family as in abject circumstances, and begging for pecuniary aid. Considerable sums of money have been obtained in this infamous man ner, at the above address, where rooms were hired for the purpose. I have been furnished with one of these letters by Lord John Russell, and I beg here distinctly to state that the whole is a gross falsehood and forgery. Communications have also been received from Lord Brougham, the Bishop of Oxford, and Lord Mahon, which give important information on the subject. Any person to whom application of this kind has been made will greatly oblige me, and further the ends of justice, by transmitting to me, if possible, the letters in question, and also by stating what money, if any, was sent in consequence, as the case is now in the hands of the proper authorities, and every evidence is desirable for the conviction of the offender, who is known. It is but justice to add, that the person from whom the rooms were hired was, at the time, ignorant of the deception. I am, Sir, yours sincerely, MARY HOWITT. 28, Upper Avenue-road, Regent's-park, November 22. THE HALL or COMMERCE.—Yesterday the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle•street, was put up to auc tion, at the Auction Mart, by Mr. Norton, when there was a very numerous attendance of capitalists and others, who were in the habit of attending the establish ment. The auctioneer stated that the cost of the Hall of Commerce was about 80,0001., and that its value at present as a fair investment was 60,0001. The first offer was 20,0001., then the biddinga reached 35,0001.; the auctioneer said that was about the snm given for the site, which contained about 9,000 feet. The property, after an active competition, was eventually knocked djwn for 44,9001., which was stated to be below the re served sum. THE WEATHER. —The weather continues uncom monly mild for the season. Copious rains have fallen at intervals during the week, and the Ness flows iu large but as usual beautifully pure volume. At Dunean, and probably other farms in this neighbourhood, the autumn sown wheat is already peeping through the ground, and is coming away exceedingly well in uniform breadth. A Caithness correspondent writes:—" Our crops were never better harvested; all are safe, but the quality is not good. Oats weigh from 351bs. to 401bs. per bushel-381bs. being about the average; here from 451bs. to 491bs.—the average being 461bs; turnips are a good though not so large crop as was expected."—lnverness Courier. FINE ROOT OF POTATOES.—An isolated root of potatocs, dug up the other day in the garden of Mr. F. Bleteher, of the Mail Coach -inn, Rotherham, yielded fully half a peck. The largest potato weighed a pound and three quarters. - They are of the description known as the " farmer's glory."— She f field Times. FRENCH ACCOUNT OF LONDON THIEVES.—One of the Lyons journals gravely relates that the thieves of London constantly carry chloroform about them, and when they select a victim seize him by the throat, and compel him to breathe the stupifying vapour until he falls senseless ! It is -curious with what moral fortitude men can bear with the misfortunes of others.—Eliza Coors Journal. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cottn at Liverpool yesterday did not exceed 3,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was quiet.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done at rather lowt r prices. The Bank of England account is undergoing rapid changes. During the week to the 17th instant the Active circulation fell off materially, while the assets, especially bullion and public deposits, were increasing. The addition made to the last-named item is particularly gratifying, and speaks well for the revenue. The count business of the Corporation is shown to have eur ther diminished.

SOULBY.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, the arguments in which were concluded a few days since. The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of England. The facts of the case may be thus shortly stated :—John Milner, who had been a woollendraper, in the Old Jewry, and subsequently became a stockjobber, exe cuted an indenture in December, 1842, by which, after acknowledging a cohabitation of several years with Eliza Quilten, and that she had borne him four children he stated that such cohabitation was discontinued; but that, in consideration of past connexion, be covenanted to provide her an annuity of 250 L, and for that purpose as signed to her two policies of insurance on his life for sums exceeding 5,0001.; and he also undertook to keep up the premiums. Milner died in 1846, and a bill was filed by his creditors against his executors and Mrs Quilten, alleging that Milner was insolvent, and deeply indebted at the time he executed the indenture, and praying that it be set aside Us a fraud on the creditors. ahe executors, in their answer, admitted there were not assets to pay the creditors, but Mrs. Quilten asserted that Milner was not indebted or embarrassed at the time of the assignment to her. Evi deeco was read both for and against the insolvency, and the Vice-Chancellor came to the conclusion that to , be indebted at all, although not insolvent or in embarrassed circumstances, was sufficient to avoid a deed . made without consideration to the prejudice of creditors, and he therefore directed the policies to be made available assets for the benefit of the creditors. His Lordship• after going at some length into the case, ordered the decision of the Court below to be reversed. ANDREWS V. WALTEN.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which came before the Court only two days ago, upon motion for the discharge of the plaintiff out of custcdy. This cause has been before the Court in various forms since 1830, and has been argued before Lord Brougham and Lord Lyndhurst, and also repeatedly before the present Lord Chancellor. The bill of the plaintiff (who sues in forma pauperis) was dismissed in 1833, with costs, amounting to 1071. les. 2d., for the non-payment of si hich en attachment was issued, and the plaintiff arrested thereon, on the 15th Of January, 1833. Two days afterwards, he, hoW• ever, was discharged, is question of privilege arising, as at the time' he wir.s taken into custody he was attend ing the Registrar of the Court with reference to certain proceedings in the cause. In the month of March fol lowing he was again arrested for the same debt, and has been in custody ever since, now sixteen years. The point on which the present motion turned was whether, as the defendant had himself discharged the plaintiff from custody—he having made no application to the Court for his discharge, on the ground of the irregu larity of his arrest—the discharge was not a complete and final one. Many cases were cited at the bar in sup port of this position. The LORD CHANCELLOR, this morning, in giving judgment, went at considerable length into the case, and ultimately decided that there was no ground what ever for the motion for the discharge of the plaintig from custody. Mr. M'QuEEN, who appeared as counsel for Mr• Walten, said, that such being the judgment of the Court, he was instructed, by his client, to make proposition to Mr. Andrews. Hitherto his client had offered to Mr. Andrews his release from custody, on the condition that he would not annoy him by all further legal proceedings; be had now to offer to Bir• Andrews his unconditional release, and he did so, not on the ground of any doubt as to the validity of his client e claim, but solely from motives of humanity. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the proposa l of the defendant was highly creditable to him. Mr. Andrews was then ordered to be discharged, and left the court, not, as usual, in the custody of Allen the tip, taff, but surrounded by his friends. We believe that Mr. Andrews has been repeatedly offered his discharge, but has refused to accept it, coo' tending that be is legally entitle d to the same, and OW to large damages for the imprisonment he has skied,' undergone. The defendants in the suit have suffered greatly from the long-continued litigation to which the! have been subjected, and the expenses attendant thereon* IN RE THE CORONER OF SALOP. This case stood in the paper to be spoke to. 00 readers will recollect that yesterday, Mr. Cooper , with whom was Mr. Kerslake, moved that 11 . , writ recently issued for the election of a coron er , for one of' the districts of the county of Salop, mi ght be set aside. The reason was that the district being very extensive, the magistrates had previously resoleed that upon the death of the late coroner (Mr. Dickers) 1° make an application to the Crown to divide the district* Mr. Dickers died on the Bth inst., and already had Bowe of the freeholders procured a writ to be issued for ell election of a new coroner and the sheri ff had fix ed Monday next for su c h election. Under these circa ? stances, as the magistrates had not yet had time to 1 1 make their applicaticn to th e Crown, his Lordship 7. asked to set aside the writ, or at any rate to stay th e execution of it until they had bad such an opportunity' The Lord Chancellor stated yesterday, on the motie! being made to him, that be considered the object of t application was most praiseworthy, and he should be g la i! to comply with it if any precedent could be shown for su c h a course. It, however, appeared to him, that the Wl' was analogous to that issued for the election of a Mete: ber of Parliament, and that after it had once issued 11" had no control over it, unless there had been fraud 0 procuring it to be issued. No such fraud had been alleged in the present case, aed surely it could not: b 0 said that the freeholders had not a right to have 1" writ issued. With respect to the staying of the exeel l ; Lion, the same difficulty arose—namely, th a t the Gre° Seal had no longer any power over the writ, and it therefore only a matter for the discretion of the shell He regretted that the application must be refused. On the case being called on this morning, he Mr. COOPER said that after the intimation of ir h Court yesterday he must decline proceeding further I ,ll ' the matter. EX PARTE HARWOOD, RE HARWOOD.
