A translation of a notice posted up by order of the Bishop who at present superintends the education of the young Duke de Bourdeaux, in the Cathedral of Strasburg, a few days previous to the anniversary of the birth of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits :—" Forty days' indulgence will be granted to all those who, after having fully confessed and communed, shall visit this Cathedral on the anniversary of the birth of the Holy Father Ignatius Loyola, and shall there pray for the union of Christian Princes, the extirpation of Heresy (l'extirpation de heresies), and exaltation of the holy and true religion." A young man, aged not more than 23 years, of the name of John M‘Donald, a nailer of Durham, but who had a wife and three children, has been missing since Thursday night, and it is supposed he has destroyed himself. He had been at a dance at the Black Swan public-house, in Claypath, on the night in question, and having through liquor, grown rather turbulent, for the sake of maintaining quietness, and at the suggestions of the parties, the landlord was induced to force him out of the room. On leaving the house, he uttered to the effect, that no one should ever see him again. He left his hat behind, and no account has been given to show that he is in existence. The river, by the re quest of his aged father, has been dragged without success. The mind unfortunat e man had been observed t o b e i n a d epresse d s tate of for some time, generally believed to be caused by poverty. — Tyne Mercury. FROM LAST NIGHT'S LONDON GAZETTE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WESTMINSTER, FIB. 9. While the Court were occupied in taking justifications of bail, a person appeared to justify, against whom the attorney for the plaintiff had made an affidavit, in which he stated that this was an improper person to be accepted as bail, having been previously tried as a receiver of stolen goods. The COURT inquired of him whether this statement were true? He replied, that he certainly had been tried as a receiver of stolen goods, and before one of their Lordships (Mr. Justice Gase lee), who had honourably acquitted him. The COURT now inquired whether the affidavit stated the cir cumstance of his acquittal, and on being answered in the negative, their Lordships expressed themselves in strong terms on the con duct of the attorney, who must have been acquainted with this fact also. They would not listen to an affidavit of this kind, and should accept the bail. SMITH V. SPARROW. This was an action on a contract, which the plaintiff alleged the defendant had entered into, in the purchase of a large quan tity of nutmegs. It appeared that on a Sunday in February, 1925, the brother of the plaintiff, who acted as a broker, called on the defendant, who resided at Stockwell, and inquired if he felt inclined to do any thing in spices. The plaintiff answered he should have no objection, provided he could do it with ad vantage to himself. James Smith, the broker, then informed him he had a large quantity of nutmegs, which he wasieclined to dispose of at a rate of lie. 6d. per lb. Some dispute arose as to the price, but the defendant finally agreed to take them at 1 ls. 3d. per lb. The defendant had little doubt but that by Ckristmas the nutmegs would he worth His. per lb., and on James Smith inquiring whether he should' resell them if an advantageous offer occurred, he replied he might, provided he could obtain 12s. 6d. per lb.— Immediately after this transaction, however, an alteration took place in the market, and nutmegs fell in a short time, to 6s. 6d. per lb., and after that so low as Ss. 6(1. About this time the prompt became due, but the defendant refused to recognize, upon which the present action was brought, and was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, during the sittings after last term. It was objected on the part of the defendant—first, that as the whole of the transaction had been conducted by James Smith, who had never given in the name of his principal, the defendant had naturally supposed that he was dealing with him and no other, consequently an action could not be maintained against him by another person ; and secondly, that as the contract had been made on a Sunday, it was void. On these grounds the Lord Chief Justice had non-suited the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant WILDE had accordingly moved and obtained a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be 'set aside, and a . new trial granted. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN now appeared to oppose the rule, and conforming with the direction of the Court, he confined him self solely to the question as to the validity of a contract which had been made on a Sunday. He contended that a contract en tered into on that day could not be binding on the defendant. Mr. Sergeant WILDE and Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE, in support of the rule, urged that this transaction on the Sunday had been conducted entirely by the broker, and without the knowledge of the plaintiff, who was not at all aware that it had taken place on that day. They therefore thought this objection could not now be brought against him. The LOAD 'CHIEF JUSTICE, in deciding this case, remarked, that he was dearly of the same opinion that he was at the trial, that the plaintiff should be nonsuited. Speculations of this kind had arrived at a dangerous height in the city, and were fre quently the means of doing great injury. They now occurred so frequently, that the Ro: al Exchange was become an arena of the grossest and very worst description of gambling. His Lord ship was most decidedly of opinion that the nonsuit should stand, The rest of the Court fully concurred. We have heard a report, which we cannot trace to any certain foundation, that a lady residing on the Steyne was poisoned a few days since by her footman (a foreigner), for some grudge he entertained, but that fortunately, from the timely appli cation of proper restoratives, no fatal consequences ensued.— Brighton Gazette THE NEWS OF THE DAT is given in the SUN up to the hour of going to prou oo that c public may see whatever has taken place daring the monlii ig ha the COVATS OF 'LAW AND POLICE OFFICES; together with a correct account of the prices of the various article; in THE LONDON AND CODNTRY MARKETS, Including Meat, Vegetables, Fruits, Bread, Corn, Hay, Coa ls; The SUN Is the only Newspaper in London which gives the price et.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a pe tition from the Landowners and Occupiers of Land, in the vicinity of Bampton, Oxfordshire, against any alteration in the Corn Laws.—Also a petition from Old and New Lanark ; and a petition from the Magistrates and Town Council of Arbroath, praying for an alteration in the Corn Laws. Lord TEYNHAM moved for certain Returns re lative to the Corn Laws, which he said would elucidate the sub ject. As the motion was not, he understood, to be opposed, he should not trouble their Lordships with any observations. Lord Viscount MELVILLE 'presented a Petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh, playing for an alteration in the Corn Laws. His Lordship said, the petition had the seal of the Corporation affixed to it, and might be consi dered as its petition; but the person who had signed it on behalf of the Corporation was since dead, and. lie did not know whether it was consistent. with their Lordship? visage to receive it. The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of LAUDERDALE both thought the Petition might be received as the petition of the Corporation. The petition was accordingly received. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a peti tion from the Merchants, Manufacturers, and of Dundee, praying for such an alteration in the Corn Laws; as would allow the Manufacturers to get bread as cheap as possible. The petitioners, the Noble Marquis stated,• expressed at great length the reasons by which they supported the prayer of the petition. . The Earl of LAUDERDALE - pres'ented peti tions from the Landowners and Occupiers of the Dundee district of Forfarshire ; from. the Landowners and Occupiers attending Montrose market ; from the Landowneri and Occupiers of the Brechin District of Forfarshire ; from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the Arbroath district of Forfarshire ; and from the Owners of Land in the vicinity of Sherburn; and its vicinity, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, all praying that their Lordships would not make any alteration in the Corn Laws. Mr. Fountain*Wilson, and others from the Commons, brought up a private-Bill,' which was read a first time. APPEALS. The LORD • CHANCELLOR moved their Lordships to' discharge the Order of the Day for summoning their Lordships to hear appeals on Monday. The Order was accord inglv discharged. The Noble and Learned Lord then said, that as the Court of Chancery; in' which he sat, was not to meet till after 'Monday week, he should propose, with their Lordships' permission, to hear causes in their Lordships' House on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thufsday, and Friday next, and on Monday se'nnight, and to begin at ten o'clock.—To this propoeition their Lordships unanimously agreed. MITIGATION OF SLAVERY. ' ' ' The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented pe titions from Burford and its vicinity, in the county of Oxford, from Hendon, in Wiltshire, and from Chohham, for the mitigatiou of Slivery. CATHOLICS. The Marquess of LANSDOWN said he wished to take that opportunity of stating, that he had a great number of peti tions to present ti their Lordships on that subject which had been so often before them, viz. the state of the Catholics in Ireland ; and though it might not be very material to their Lordships to be in formed when the local petitions he had in his possession would be pre sented, yet he wished then to state, for the convenienee of their Lordships, that, as the House was summoned for Wednesday, he should take that opportunity of presenting the general Petition of the Catholics of Ireland, and also an important petition from the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland. Though it was not his intention on that occasion to •enter into the general question, hr should take the opportunity of presenting that petition to stale what course he should be disposed to suggest to theirlordshipst to fqllow in the discussions on this question. Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker took the Chair at the usual hour, and several Members took the Oaths and their Seats. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Mr. HARE said, he rose to present a petition from Listowel, in the county of Ken -3r, praying a removal of the dis abilities under which the Roman Catholics of Ireland, laboured. Although there was no specific motion upon this subject befo re the House, ke could not refrain fro m t a ki ng that "opportun ity of saying a few words upon it. He had witnessed the effects of the unjust and illiberal policy observed towards his 11cRoman Ca tholic fellow-subjects in Ireland; he had seen the private ani mosity and public ill-feeling to which that treatment had given rise ; and he felt that there was no other remedy for. those evils It was, in his opinion, a measu re w hi c h these kingdoms .—( Hear, h ear , h ear .)_ unqualified emancipat ion of the Roman C a . again be urged, th a t th e wing the t t i h w a c a s . complete ul esr. and hea r . ) ould have th e e ff ect o f over throw ing of would carry its own safety along w i th it, and w ou ld a dd to the emancipation of t s li t ti t e • strength i l b i z a nn o ,de andath security omcigs hut, great bulwarks of our Constitution; h e loved , and vener ated' that glorious Constitution, and if he thou g ht th at suc h would be the effect of the m easure which he now a d vocated, he would be the first to oppose it. But, he denied that such would be the result of that measure; on the contrary, he conceived that it would , be productive of peace and unity in Ireland, and would give in creased stability to the united Empire. And, he must observe. that he could see no good reason why men who bore their equal. share of the public taxes and other burthens, and who assisted in their persons and property in defence of the State, should be deprived of an equal participation in, its blessings and advantages. (Hear, hear !)--The petition was read, and ordered to be printed. CORN LAWS. Mr. MAULE - presented, petitions from the district of Brecon, in Forfarshire, from Arbroath, Montrose, and Dundee, praying that no alteration be made in the Corn Laws.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. FIUME presented a petition from Ashton-. under-Line \ ia Lancashire, praying a revision of the Corn La" a reduction of all Taxes and public charges to the standard of 1792. CORN LAWS—STARVING WEAVERS. Mr. HUME said, he held in his hand a petition upon the same subject, couched in rather stronger language : but he hoped the House would not cavil at the expressions of men who actually 'were, what they described themselves to be, Starving Weavers. They pointed out, in their petition, the causes which had in their opinions brought theni to this condition, and also sug gested the remedies which, in their opinions, would prevent cala mities, which they otherwise deemed irresistible.
