The Reform Bill was read a first time on Saturday in the House of Commons, and is now printed. A few alterations have been made in it, hut they are decidedly improvements, and do not in the slightest degree trench upon the lead ing principles of the Bill. We have received this afternoon the Austrian Observer of the 16th of June, and the Allge tneine Zeitung of the 21st, but their contents cannot be relied on in matters respecting Poland. The Observer repeats the account of an insig nificant affair between the Russians and some few armed peasantry in Podolia ; but subse quent reports from that quarter assure us that the spirit of insurrection proceeds with increased enthusiasm. The description in the Zeitung of the distress in Warsaw for means to prosecute the war is a gross fabrication. The Poles were never in a better condition than at the present moment, both for defensive and offensive opera tions. On the 14th of June the Generalissimo, after having given his men a fortnight's repose, broke up from Praga with the whole army, con siderably recruited in strength, and supplied with every necessary of war, and took the field against the enemy. His plan of campaign was not of course divulged, but from his known intrepidity, and decisive promptitude, we may daily expect to hear of some brilliant result. The Russian main army at Pultusk, having latterly been much diminished by its severe loss at the battle of Ostrolenka, as well as by the departure of two divisions for Lithuania, must be in a cri tical position—and time recent death of its Com mander-in-Chief, DIEBITSCH, will no doubt add to its disadvantage. It may not, therefore, be unreasonable to suppose that the Polish Generalissimo, after learning these particulars, should chalk out far himself a bold plan of operations to strike a decisive blow, and at once put a period to the campaign in the vicinity of Warsaw. We are the more led to this conclusion - by the fact that the Russian di- vision in the Palatinate of Lublin was endeavour. ing by forced marches to pass through Podlachia, - in order to form a junction with the main army beyond the Narew. To prevent this junction will be, we suspect, one of the masterly ma nceuvres of the intrepid SKIIYZNECKI, whose force must be so overwhelming as to destroy or capture the Russian division at the first onset. This will strike terror into the main army, whose retreat by Lithuania will be cut off by the advance of the Generalissimo to Loinza, or Ostrolenka. Should the Russians refuse battle, they must retreat into Prussia, and thus put the Prussian Government to the last test in respect to its mock-neutrality. At any rate, it is clear that the Poles will en deavour to do something remarkable before the new Commander-in-Chief join the Russian army, and consolidate the plan of opera tions. The news from Lithuania is highly encouraging ;—and the defeat of the Russian main army would have a powerful effect on the character of the campaign, by freeing Poland of the invaders, and at once transferring the war to Lithuania and the very frontiers of Russia itself. VIENNA, JUNE 14.—The provisional Board of Health for the provinces of Moravia and Milesia, established at Bielitz, has given notice that the cholera in Gallicia has not passed the left bank of the Sare. Some relaxations of the quarantine regula. tions are, therefore, allowed, and it is hoped that t he disorder will not spread into the western circles of Gallicia, and that thus the danger will be averted from the other Austrian states. The Court has gone for the summer to Schonbrenen. VIENNA, JUNE 15.---A supplement to the Courrier de la Nouvelle Russe (published at Odessa), of the 3d instant, ' gives an account received from Major. General Schwarz and the Civil Governor of Bessarabia, of the total defeat of the last division of the rebels in Podolia by Major. General Sche. remetiefl; on the 23d of May. Of 1,000 men, 300 were killed, 110 taken prisoners, and the rest dispersed hi the woods. Two cannon were taken, with their military chest, and among the prisoners were some women. On the 26th another band of rebels, that was marching to join the first, hearing of this defeat, Red by way of SatanOw, to the Austrian frontier. This body Was said to be 2,000 strong, but it was difficult to overtake them, as they were all mounted, and galloped oil with the utmost speed. Count Rzemuski is said to have died of his wounds, and Gen. Kolysko to be the only one of the Chiefs that has escaped. A letter from Odessa, of the 3d, says, General Roth is occupied in clearing the Government of Kiew of the in surgents. Private accounts say that the peasants in that pro vince resist their landowners, who endeavour by cruel means to, compel them to take arms against a lawful Government. About 240,000 peasants are said to have become forfeited to the Ci`own, in consequence of the sequestration of the estates of the Nobles implicated in the rebellion." WARSAW, JUNE 13.—The insurrection in Volhynia and Po. dolia is said to be by no means suppressed, but to threaten farther expl os io n , which General Chrzanowski is ready to second from Zamosc. Our whole hope is now in spreading the insurrec tion in Lithuania and Volhynia; for, with our tinances entirely • exhausted, when every thing must be obtained by requisitions, and the wants of the army continually increase, the war cannot be protracted. Only four Waiwodeships now contribute to bear the burden of the war. What our Commander-in-Chief will now undertake it is dab cult to guess. The siege of the fortress of Modlin, w hich the Russians have began, and the occupation of the Whole of the Waiwodeship of Flock, which has hitherto suffered very little from the war , a nd therefore offers them provisions in abundance (setting aside the vicinity of Prussia), will perhaps soon induce the General-in-Chief to undertake some operation. The army has recovered from its fatigues by a fortnight's rest. The head quarters are still at Praga, and our National Guard gives succes sive entertainments to the troops, who come by thousands to the city for that purpose. VIENNA, JUNE Is.—Four per Cents. Metalliques ;0%; Bank Shares 1025 JUNE 16.—Four per Cents. Metalliques 70%; Bank Shares 1031. Don PEDRO has arrived in London. For the acounts from Rio Janeiro subsequent to hi , departure, we have only room to refer our readers to another part of The Sun. We regret to learn that the cholera morbus has reached Hamburg ; but we suspect, from the prevailing alarm on this subject, that ever) species of disease will be mistaken for cholera morbus, and denominated as such. We would merely recommend the public to be on its guard, but, t o fear not—remembering that, " sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." We received the following extract from our Portsmouth Correspondent, who endeavoured to obtain the particulars, but from ho communication having arrived up till post time last night, he was unable to send it :--- " CHOLERA Monnus.—A brig arrived at the Motherbank this morning, anti on being hoarded exhibited a foul bill ,f he a lth ; she was immediately ordered to raise the yellow flag, with a black ball in the centre, which, I believe, signifies illness on board, and no communication allowed or boats to near her, and, consequently, ordered to perform quarantine it Standgate Creek. A person who came from Ryde in the , notning said that there was a vessel at the Mutherbank ,vith the cholera on board." . - A Sunday Newspaper notorious for the im pudence and mendacity of its a ssertions, and which, with consummate effrontery makes a point of insisting on the moral and political worth of that injured innocent Don MIGUEL, in a style and with a spirit worthy oCtite Portuguese monster himself, has lately taken on itself to in sinuate that the Bishops will take an active part in the Reform discussion, and vote against it to a man. It is hardly worth our while to reply to this preposterous assertion ; but for the edifi cation of these who are not sufficiently familiar with the character of the print in question, and who may feel inclined to place reliance on its falsehoods, we will say briefly and unhesitatingly that the Bishops as a body will offer no active or violent opposition to the Reform Bill. That they will rest on their oars, while the question is under discussion in the Upper House, and when it conies to the vote, either Not vote at all, or vote decidedly in its favour. The Right Rev. Prelates are too well aware of the acute, jealous feeling entertained towards clerical abuses, to venture upon any rash opposition to Reform. They are also men of the world, of judgment, and many of them of approved sagacity, and being so, will conciliate, not provoke, the temper of the times. They will remember also that the people, while they hold in becoming respect the ministers of the purest and the truest religion on earth, are intolerant of the abuse of that religion, and should they be provoked into an inquiry by the bigoted conduct of the heads of the Church would prosecute it with marvellous rapidity, and with a zeal and heard ness that nothing would have power to thwart or subdue. The Reform question being decidedly a political one, and the Bishops being usually quiescent on such topics, we are convinced that the Right Rev. Prelates will have too much good sense, to attempt to convert it into a re ligious one, and thereby throw' a weight of seri ous responsibility on their own shoulders. His Majesty Don PEDRO, Duke of Braganza, accompanied by the Marquis DE REYZENDE, Major WEBSTER, Mr. PINTO, and Mr. Gom EZ DE SILVA, arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond -street, on Sunday evening, at six o'clock. DEATH OF LORD ROBERT SPENCER.- This venerable and respected Nobleman expired on Thurs day evening, at his house in Arlington-street, Piccadilly, at the advanced age of 84. His Lordship was the youngest son Of CHARLES, second Duke of MARLBOROUGH, brother to the late and uncle to the present Noble Duke of that title. his Lordship.was a Privy Councillor, hut, we be lieve, a non-official member of that h3nourable body, never, it is understood, having accepted office. Lord CHARLES married in 1811, when he had attained the age of 64, the lion. Mrs. EDWARD BOUVERIE, relict of the Hon. E. BOUVEKIE, and daughter of Sir EVERARD FAWKENER. By this lady, who died in .November, 1825, his Lordship had no issue. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The following intel ligence was furnished us this morning by a gentleman who arrived in London from Maidstone. The hop plantations, in the immediate neighbourhood of Maidstone, are very considerably affected by the fly. Lice likeuriss, especially around Barming, Tovil, Mereworth, and East Farleigh, may be seen in great abundance. The growth of the bine, which in most districts appears very healthy, is ex tremely rapil. In the neighbourhood of Aylesford and Bexley the appearance of the mould, at this early period, has created considerable alarm. Should the weather, how ever, prove favourable, the crop may be expected to he very far beyond an average, if not an exceedingly prolific one. Some very fine new Kent pockets have been sold during the past week, as low as 51. 15s. per cwt. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.-011 Tuesday the demand for goods was brisk, and German wools of the middle and lower qualities were much inquired after, but the stock is exceedingly small, and not likely to he aug mented, as the new wools cannot be expected in any quan tity before September next, on account of the quarantine regulations. This will be a great disappointment to many manufacturers, who in anticipation of the new clip, have nearly exhausted their stock. The staplers, generally, are in the same predicament. There are no complaints, ex cept of small profits.—Leeds Mercury. The public mind in these towns has, during the week, been much alarmed, owing to a report, indus triously circulated, that:twenty seamen had been sent to the hospital from the squadron at Spithead, labouring nod. r that dreadful scourge, cholera morbua, at present so prevalent in Russia, and that ten of this number had died in twenty-four hours. We have made inquiry on the subject, and congratulate our readers on the utter falsity of the rumour. Some of the men have been suffering from a catarrhal affection, but in a few instances only has it proved fatal.—Portsmouth Herald. _ _ Don PEDRO has addressed a letter to Lord PALMERSTON, asking permission to reside in England, which, of course, was granted to him in a private capa city. The French Government has been little pleased with his election to reside in France. A 9 the Queen DONNA MARIA DA GLORIA has not arrived yet at Brest, it is supposed, and generally believed, that the Marquis de PALMELLA far found it necessary that she should remain at Terceira.— Court Journal. - - It is positively stated that Mr. C. KEMBLE has agreed for the hire of a theatre in Paris, and that he and his daughter will play there until next season at Covent-garden. Miss F. KEMBLE has hail many very advantageous proposals from the country; but we under stand that she has declined them. After the present season MACREADY will not remain at Drury lane, as he would have done if Mr. LEE continued one of the lessees and managers of the theatre. MACREADY had an engagement with Mr. LEE, by c i o n n e s c i e t a le e r in i g im s s a e la lf ry h , ou which Captain POLHILL EMBLE, if on no otheurti.ccolulnTet,htuhpaet, s fo lA r c ti lt re E A s a n k l e , m ay be secured at Covent-garden.

VIOLATION OF THE QUARANTINE LAW S . --Captain STRIDE, of Ealing, near Southampton, has for this off e nce been fined 5001., and to be imprisoned for six. months, or until the fine be p aid. He is master of a bri g just arrived from Riga, laden with wheat. Without stop ping to perform quarantine at the Motherbank, he saile d direct into Southampton-roads, and allowed part of I,i, crew to go ashore.—Brighton Herald. There is a good deal of conversation in the dramatic circles regarding the erection of a yew th said eatre the neighbourhood of Oxford - s treet ; and it is that several persons have already subscribed a considerable sum fur the purpose. It is singular, in the present rage, w e may call it, for small houses, that the Pantheon, which is already constructed, and is a pretty litCe theatre, has not been thought of. The license there is only for Italian Operas, and this circumstance may prevent its employment for the regular drama. SHIPPING INTELL l (4wyclr.;—( I'HIS DAY. Fla)Am A D'S.

This morning the general Quarter Sessions for the County of Middlesex commenced, at Clerkenwell Sessions House, before F. Const, Esq. and a full bench of Magistrates. DELAYING PUBLIC BUSINESS. The grand and petit juries, counsel, witnesses, and many ma gistrates were kept fo r a cons id era bl e time after ten o'clock, the usual hour of business, without either the Chairman or any offi cers of the Court having made their appearance. Mr. ALLEY begged General Thornton ' who was on the bench, would take th e c h a i r an d procee d to business. The GENERAL said he would have no objection, but be could not in the absence of the Clerk of the Peace. Several of the Jury here complained of having been summoned to attend the Court so early as nine o'clock, at very great per sonal inconvenience, and they considered it very hard to be kept waiting so long unnecessarily ; they also complained, that al though they were in attendance at nine o'clock, they were ac tually kept waiting outside the building for above half an hour before the doors were opened, General Thornton regretted that the Jury should experience such inconveniences, and having sent for the housekeeper of the Court, he reprimanded that officer for not opening the doors at an earlier period, and cautioned him against any future neglect. F. CONST, Esq., Chairman, and the Clerk of th e P eace , hav ing arrived, the Court proceeded to business. John Ebbs, Joseph Ebbs, Thos. Goldspink, Benjamin Cobb, Joseph Cordroy, IVm. Bradshaw, and Was. Fogerty, were in dicted for assaulting William Barrett. Mr. ALLEY appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. C. PHIL. LIPS for the the defendants. . _ It appeared that the prosecutor was an apprentice to Mr. Ebbs, one of the defendants, who was a carpenter. On the 14th March being at home, Fogerty, one of the defendants, came to tell him his master wanted him, and upon going into the street the whole of the defendants seized him, tied him hand and foot, pitched him into a wheelbarrow, and rolled him along the road in the Regent's-bore, for about three-quarters of a mile, upsetting him twice in the mud during their progress. When they got him to Mr.. Ebbs's workshop they laid him o❑ a bench, when Mr. Ebbs slapped him on the breech and then liberated him. In cross-examination it appeared that the prosecutor's father had brought actions for this assault against the two Ebbs's, be sides preferring this indictment. This matter was heard before Mr. Itawlinson, the Magistrate, and dismissed, and the prose cutor's indentures have since been cancelled. Mr. C. PHILLIPS characterised the whole of these proceed ings as originating with an attorney who expected to put a large sum in costs into his pocket. He (Mr. P) did not deny that the boy had been " carted" by his master and his master's brother, a mode of punishing incorrigible idle apprentices in this country. 'I he CHAIRMAN, in summing up, regretted that the case had been brought to this Court atter it had been gone into and dismissed by the Magistrate. He recommended the Jury to find tile two Ebbs's guilty only, as they were the principal parties in the transaction. The Jury found John Ebbs and Joseph Ebbs Guilty, and Ac quitted the other defendants. The CHAIRMAN sentenced John Ebbs to pay 40s. and Joseph Ebbs 2('s. to the King. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. New Brunswick Papers to the 29th of May, and Prince Ed ward's Island to the 18th of May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. From the Paper of May 28 : .‘ We lament to state, that in addition to the heavy and al most insupportable burthen to which this city has been subject, owing to the impoverished state of the large number of emi grants which have recently arrived here from Ireland, cases of infectious diseases have been discovered by the visiting phy sician on board two of the vessels, and in consequence they are now performing quarantine. The vessels alluded to are the Charity, from Kinsale, and the Billow, from Newry; the former with the small-pox on board, and the latter with the fever. The Common Council met on Monday, and judiciously desired that the sick from both vessels should be landed at the Pest house on Partridge Island. We understand that last evening although large supplies of provisions were sent down, Doctor Boyd communicated to the Mayor that the passengers on board the vessel with the small-pox were in a state of mutiny, and had taken the command of her, and that the constable s en t o n b oard was in danger of his life. Accordingly his Worship addres ecl a letter to the Commanding Officer of the rifle corps requesting his assistance; an officer and thirty men were immediately put under orders for embarkation." . _ Two O'CLOCK, P.M.—We have just learned that Mr. Sandall has returned to town, and reports that the Master of the Charity alone is culpable, the passengers being in an orderly state. 7h, Common Council have directed immediate proceedings against the Captain for leaving the vessel without cause. (From the Prince Edward Island Papers.) The Session was closed with the tbllowing Speech of hi s Excellency : " It aff,irds me infinite satisfaction to mark the sense I enter tain of the harmony and confidence that have subsisted between both branches of the Legislature during the present Session, with my cordial approbation, and to express my conviction that it offers the surest pledge of your anxious desire to meet the exi gencies of the Colony, and to cherish and administer to the va rious sources of its internal prosperity. I return you my thanks for the readiness and liberality with which you have granted the supplies for the service of his Majesty." THE FUNDS. What we stated last week, that the Belgian Deputies were go ing to take their departure with the ultimatum of the five Powers, as also the terms on which Prince Leopold would accept the throne of Belgium, is confirmed this morning, and we are in formed that Prince Leo p old has proved himself an able negotiator, and shewn great talent in his negotiations with the foreign Powers, and it is now generally understood that the moment the ratifica tion of the teens on which he accepts the throne of Belgium arrives, he will take his departure, which may soon be expected, in consequence of which Consols, which left off on Saturday at 8 . 2 g for the Account, opened at 82N, and immediately went up to 83 , 4 ; at present they are 83% 1 4. We also understand that the arrival here cf Don Pedro is sanctioned by our Government, and it is expected that the aftliirs of Portugal will soon be brought to a conclusion. The French mail is but just arrived, consequently the letters will be delived late. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. The letters and papers by the French snail are not as yet deli.. vered, and the Dutch and Hamburg steamers are not arrived; consequently, to the present hour, we are without information. The accounts from Rio Janeiro by the mail are favourable. New Ambassadors are being appointed to , all the Courts in Eu rope ; all was tranquil there. 'I here are also favourable accounts from the mines. We learn from Buenos Ayres that no decisive battle has taken place. The news from that quarter is of minor importance. The Funds were looking up in the early part of the morning when they were at 8.3 1 ,4, since which Consols have receded to 82% 74 for the account ; at present they are 82; 7 4, 83. In the Foreign Market Brazil Stock has improved to 54. In other Foreign Securities little doing. HALF-PAST TWO. The Dutch steamer has arrived, bringing accounts from Berlin of the .20th inst., from the Polish frontiers of the 18th, and from Warsaw of the 11Ali. They do not contain any battles or in teresting news. _ A report prevails that serious disturbances have taken place at Antwerp, and the town was expected to be bombarded. It is also stated that the cholera has broken out at Stettin. THREE 0' CL 0 CIC. Gmsols, 82k, FOUR O'CLOCK.—CLOSING PRICES.

The first anniversary of our beloved Monarch's accession to the throne of England was kept in such a manner this day th,t it will remain in the memories of the thousands who enjoyed the magnificent spectacle from the walls and shore around us. Early aitments„ annou n t e d in the morning the Royal Standard flying on the garrison, o n the whole fleet, and at the Pfiblij t le p that it was a Royal festive day. At one o'cloidc d Rojal sal Ttc was fired from the garrison, and immediately followed by the firing of five hundred pieces of ordnance on board the fleet at Spithead. The roaring of the cannon, the dense clouds of smoke arising and nearly enveloping the ships, decked out in their gala colours—together with the cutters and vessels of the Royal Yacht. Club saluting and sailing about at the same time—formed no bad representation of a sea-fight. DOVER, JUNE 26. The Ex-Emperor of Brazil, I)on Pedro, travelling under th e title of the Duke of Braganza, and accompanied by the Marquis de Reyzende, and the Chevaliers de Pinto and Gomez, arrived yesterday f ro m Calais, and have this morning continued their route to 'London under the usual honours. Mr. H. Latham and the Collector of the Customs, Mr. Ward, dined with the Ex-Em peror, at the Ship Bin, and this morning, previously to his de parture, Colonel Arnold, the Commandant, presented the re: spective Officers under his command. Early this morning Major Webster, who has been selected by Lord Palmerston to attend on the Duke of Braganza during hisstay in England, arrived from London, presented his credentials, and entered on his duties. The Major returned to London with the party. It is understood that Don Pedro comes to England for the purpose of expressinr, personally to his Majesty his gratitude for the very kind reception ' his daughter met with last year ; and that he will then join the Empress, who is gone to Munich for her accouchement. The young Queen of Portugal, who was in England last year, is expected at Brest, from Rio Janeiro, and may very probably revisit this country. ELECTION FOR SHERIFFS-(THIS D AY). The polling up to the middle of the day went on very lan _ouidly. The number of votes given this morning in favour of Mr. Alderman Cowan and Mr. Pirie have far exceeded those given to Mr. Scales. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. The House saiioliearETlglish and Irish Appeals to-day. The Lords present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of SEFTON, and Lords FOLEY and WYNFORD. HOUGHTON a. HUGHES. Sir E. SUGDEN replied in this appeal, in which the question' was as to the construction of a will, at the conclusion of which The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, as this was a case of extreme importance in point of principle, he should depart from his usual mode of giving judgment immediately, and take time to consider it.—Judgment deferred. ROLLS COURT. BROOKMAN v. ROTHSCHILD. This case came before the Court upon petition, praying the striking out of the exceptions which had been set down before his Honour. Illr. SPENCE, who appeared for the petitioner, stated that the bill had been filled by his client against Mr. Rothschild and his brothers abroad, for the purpose of having it declared that certain transactions which had taken place between the plaintiff' and the defendant in the French Funds and Prussian Bonds were fraudulent and void,and that the plaintiffmight be reimbursed all the loss he hadsustained by those transactions. Thecase was heard by the Vice-Chancellor at considerable length, who decreed in favour of the plaintiff, and directed a reference to the Master to compute his loss. Each party had taken exceptions to the Mas ter's report, those for the . defendant being set down for hearing before the Master of the Rolls, and those for the plaintiff before the Vice—Chancellor. The plaintiff intended to set down the cause for further directions in the Vice-Chancel lor's paper, and the Learned Counsel therefore submitted that it would be much more convenient that the whole should come be fore the Learned Judge who had originally heard the cause, and was therefore full master of the case. Mr. SHARPE (who appeared with Mr. Spence, for the plaintiff) observed, that his client had considered it better to make the application to his Honour at once than apply to the Lord Chancellor, before whom a long argument had taken place on another cause, as to the jurisdiction which his Lordship had to remove exceptions from the paper of the Master of the Rolls, to that of another Judge. The MASTER of the ROLLS—The Lord Chancellor has not such jurisdiction, and I hope no suitor of my Court will submit to such practice. Mr. PEMBERTON rose to address the Court on behalf of the defendant, but was interrupted by the MASTER of the ROLLS, who said that it might seem to be a great convenience that points in contest between parties should come before the Judge who had originally heard the cause, and it had been frequently agitated whether it would not be proper to make a general rule to that effect. It had been agitated before the Chancery Commission, and it had since been agitated else where. The practice, however, was otherwise, and it had not been thought convenient to adopt such a rule. Such being the case his Honour did not consider himself justified in taking a proceeding in direct contradiction N I the practice of the Court, until it had been changed by some general rule.— Reasons existed now which had not occurred in earlier times why the practice now in existence should not be changed. It was a greater convenience to suitors to be enabled to bring their case before a Court that could hear it at any time than to be under the necessity of setting it down before a Judge, who might not be enabled to hear it for some years. His Honour, therefore, not thinking himself justified in departing from the general usage, felt bound to refuse the present application with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. LIBEL.—RICHMOND V. WILKS. This action was for a libel on the plaintiff; published so long ago as 1828, in the Times Newspaper, in the shape of a letter, signed with the name of the defendant. The plaintiff appeared in person to conduct his cause. In his address to the Jury, he said he did not appear before them to plead his own cause from any vanity or confidence in his own abilities, hut, having been a prominent actor in the occur rences which were likely to come under their notice, he Was of opinion that lie could do himself more justice than by employing a gentleman of the Bar. He saw that he had opposed to him several gentlemen of great legal abi lities, but he 'loped that all technicalities would be laid aside, and the real merits of the case brought before the Jury. Phis was his most anxious wish; but he trusted that his Dardship would afford him that assistance which he would stand in need of should any objection be taken to his course of conducting the cass. He believed that he would be enabled to bring home the publication to the defendant, who was lately an attorney in Finsbury-square, and now a Member of Parliament. In the letter he (the plaintiff) was designated as the " Glasgow Spy," and the Editor was cautioned against publishing any statement he might make on the vestry meetings of the narish of St. Luke's, as, by so doing, he would render the paper liable to actions being brought against it. This was the libel he complained of; and if the defendant justified, which he might think it proper to do, under the plea he had rut on the record of the general issue, he would on that point join issue with him, and then he would bring forward the history of his life for the last 3,) years, no part of which he was ashamed of, either as the father of a large family, as a husband, or as a member of society. If he was driven to this course he felt confident of a verdict in his favour. In case of need, he had subpoenaed Kirk man Findlay, Esq., the Assessor of Glasgow, and the L or d- Advocate of Scotland, both of whom had known hint for a long time, the latter for upwards of 19 years. He then called his witnesses. Mr. Harrison, the assistant printer of the Times, received the letter containing the libel, from the editor, in the usual way for publication; it was inserted, but he could not say how it came to the office. H enr y Drake was formerly a clerk with the defendant, was his anti, nl libel, the he a said i t was in his handwriting, • ey in this case. Being shown but was written by a clerk named Scott, wh o ha d left the employ of Messrs. Wilks and Minithor r e about a y ear ; b e was a cl e r k with the defendant at the date of the letter. On lookin g a g ain a t t n h o e w ina clerk nu n w r p t with l o the letter, he said the last line and the superscription was in his handwriting, but he had no recollection of having received any instructions from the defendant respecting this letter, nor could he recollect any thing about it ; would not have known any thing of the letter had he not seen his own writing. Mr. Rowland Wilks, the defendant's son, was next examined. He knew nothing of the letter further than seeing it in the Times, which caused him some surprise; but he did not go to his father about it. Had no recollection of having any communica tion with his father on the subject previous to his being em. ployed as attorney in the cause. His clerks frequently wrote for his father without any orders from Inns. Mr. Brown, time plaintiffs attorney, stated that he called upon the defendant in consequence of a letter from him, and was about to enter into a settlement of this action by getting au apology for the libel. , Sir J. SCARLET 1, for the defendant, objected to this evi dence, and said that nothing of t ha t conversati o n could be received. His LORDSHIP allowed the objecticli. The witness stated that he made every exertion to find Scott, the writer of the letter, but had not been successful. Mr. Bridgeman, another clerk of the defendant, was then ca ll e d ; lie knew the writing of the letter to be that of Scott, who ha d lived with him for some time, but he had never heard any thing of the letter from Scott, nor could he recollect anything of the letter. The plaintiff then said he moist leave his case in the hands of his Lordsnip ; he had been disappointed in the non-recollection of the witnesses, and for the present must abandon the action.— T h e plaintiff was then nonsuited. Kirkman Findlay, Esq Advocate, were among the witnesses in waiting. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took bankrupt pe titions to-day ; but up to th e h our o f our reporter l eav i ng no thing of public importance had taken place. CO U. 'RT OF COMMON PLEAS. SMITH AND OTHERS v. MO ATES. This was an issue from the Court of Chancery directing the attention of this Court to the claims severally made by the above parties to be put in possession of 1,1001. the value of the cargo of a ship. The claim of the plaintiffs was founded on a bill of lading given to them by the Captain of the ship as a security fox the sum of SOU lent to him by them at Calcutta. The claim of the defendant was set up in his character of sole owner o f the ship, and it was, therefore, contended on his part that the goods on th e security of which the Captain had procured the loan of 8001. were shipped a month previous to the effecting it, and had become the property of the owner immediately on their shipment, consequently, that the lenders, however hard the c ase might be, had no right to a lien upon them. The plaintiff's Counsel said, that had the loan not been made, the ship and Captain would have been both attached for debt in curred by the Captain for the purchase of saltpetre and rice, which the 8001. was to pay for. His LORDSHIP took a note of the objection, and said the subject had better be deferred, as the examination into all the points, the charter party, &c. would occupy too much time. His LORDSHIP, therefore, directed the Jury to give their verdict for the plaintiff subject to a special case.
