The Nurenzburg Correspondent of the 21st inst. states, after a private letter from Berlin, that during the illness of M. Ancillon the Crown Prince visited him daily, morning and evening, passing hours in conversing with him. It is generally said that since his last journey the Prince is more than ever con vinced of the necessity of constitutional measures, and that this opinion of the heir to the Prussian throne will have some weight at the Congress of Vienna, as M. Ancillon is to proceed thither as soon as his heal h will permit. . _ The Suabian Mercury gives the following, under date of Frankfort, Jan, 18 :—" We learn that such of the German Governments as have acceded to the Prussian system of customs have named a fixed time by which this town must signify in distinct term , . whether it will join the union or not. In case of a refusal, it will not be allowed to rescind its resolu tion within the next eight years." The Berlin State Gazette of the 20th inst. an• nounces the arrival in that capital of M. de Ribeau pierre, Ambassador Extraordinary from Russia. The Frankfort Gazette of the 23d inst. announces the arrival of Princes Alexander end William of Wirtemberg in that city. This journal states that Helsingfors, since it has become the capital of Fin land, has 13,000 inhabitants. A few years ago it had but 4,000. It has a university, and new build ings are to he erected. The Emperor has taken actions for 20,000 rubles. The Wirtenzberg Gazette of the 23d instant announces that the Duke Ferdinand of Wirtem berg, uncle of the King, died on the 20th instant, at Wisbaden. The Munich Gazette states, that owing to the mildness of the season storks have re-appeared in the neighbourhood of Nuremburg. The Berlin State Gazette of the 21st instant gives an account of the celebration of the anniversary of the King's coronation. On this occasion his Ma je.ty held a Chapter of the Knights of the Red Eagle, and gave a Royal banquet in the Palace ; 400 covers were laid in the picture gallery, and 250 in the white saloon.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 22.—A letter from Zealand of the 19th inst. says:—" The fine Antwerp merchantman, the Schinmdpenninck, Capt. Aleulenhock, has arrived to-day from Antwerp in the harbour of F'ushing, in order to be freighted under the Dutch flag and to sail to Java. THE HAGUE, JAN. 23.—A letter from Nimeguen of the 21st says :—" The hope that the water would con tinue to fall has not been realized fer the Waal has been rising again since yesterday morning : we learn that the same is the case with the Meuse. It is said that the men_of-war now lying in the docks at Flushing will leave that place at the end of February and resume their respective stations on the Scheldt. HAARLEM, JAN. 24.—1 n consequence of fresh storms fron► the west, the water in the rivers has again been rising for these two days past. At Alegen, in North Brabant, the damage done by the high tides and the storms at the beginning of the month is very great. Of 286 houses, 184 were inundated to the depth of nearly three feet, so tbat most of them are very much injured, and some entirely destroyed. In the political world every thing is in a state of stag nation; the Conferences at London are not resumed, and will not be till the German Diet has given its consent to the entire or partial cession of Luxemburg. Mean time this assent cannot lead to any result at present, because the matter will he discussed in the Ministerial Congress at Vienna. All eyes are turned on the journey of the Prince of Orange to St. Peteraburgh, who is not expected back before the month of March. Till that time nothing of importance can be looked for. It is probable that the result of the Conference at Vienna will he known at the opening of the Assembly of the States General in April. DUTCH FUNDS—AMSTERDASf, JAN. 24.

BZRLIN, JAN. 16.—1 t is positively asserted here that the Police has prohibited not only all the writings of Heine and Borne, hut everything whatever published by the firm of Heideloff and Campe, in Paris and Leipsic, which has propagated such pamphlets and books. It is most likely that the prohibition will he modified by allowing certa'n booksellers in Prussia to sell books published by Heideloff and Campe, after they have been examined, and that such works coming through other channels will be confiscated. Orders are also said to have been given to forbid the French Journal Europe Letteraire. This ill-conducted paper, nearly on the point of falling to the ground, commenced the new year, for want of good articles of its own, with extracts from Heine's preface to his " State of France," accompanying them with malicious notes respecting Prupia. It is to be expected that the German Diet will issue similar prohibitions from the States of the Confede ration. Recent accounts from Nancy confirm what we have already mentioned respecting the German patriotic unions in Paris. These political fugitives, as they are called, now at Nancy, seem to be eagerly endeavouring to make their peace with their respective Governments, finding them-e'ves so badly off in France, that they cannot but wish to return to Germany. May those who dream of a paradise in France, open to every body with ultra-liberal sentiments, take warning by this example. BERLIN, JAN. 21.—Yesterday the festival of the Con vocation and Charer of the Prussian Orders of Knight bocd was celebrated in the usual manner. The number of promotions and appointments was very considerable. From the printed list of the professors and students of the University, it appears that the number of students is 2,561, of whom 2,001 are immatriculated. HANovaa, JAN. 20.—After the long continued storms, we have now unusually warm spring weather. Auriculas, wallflowers, and crocusses, are in full bloom in the gardens ; the country on both sides of the Leine, which fur a long way above and below the city resembled a lake, is now nearly free from the water, and the communication restored. CRACOW, Nov. 16.—The Resident of the Emperor of Russia in this city has informed the Senate, that his Im perial Majesty has decided that those prisoners of war in the Russian empire who can prove that they are natives of the territory of the city of Cracow, shall be permitted to return to their own country. The Senate invites all prisoners interested to make use of this favour of the Em peror, and deliver to the Senate the certificates of baptism of any of the children, or relatives, who are included in the class of prisoners of war. English missionaries have arrived here for the conver• sion of the Jews, who have already distributed 100 copies of the Scriptures among the members of the Jewish com munity in this city. BERLIN, lAN. 11.—M. Ancillon, after underg oin g a painful operation, is visibly improving in his health. Perhaps he may soon be able to resume the duties of his office. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

THE A NTI-SPELLING BooK.—This excel lent little work shows the possibility of teaching children to read without their being previously harassed by all the barbarous anomalies to be found in the orthography of our language. Its principles are so clear, that we may well be surprised at the length of time during which the spelling system has held undisputed sway. Sure we are, that the plan here proposed would be found to combine ease to the teacher with pleasure to the child, while the old system is unmitigated pain both to one and the other.—Athenem. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1834. The French papers of Monday and Tuesday contain a good deal of miscellaneous news, hut none of special importance. The Journal des Debats states that the conditions on which MARTINEZ de la ROSA agreed to take the Go vernment are, the recognition of the indepen dence of the South American States—the im mediate convocation of the Cortes—the recog nition of Donna MARlA—and the formation of a National Guard throughout the country. Of these conditions, the summoning of the Cortes is by far the most important. In deed, it may he said to include all the others, which will necessarily result from its adoption. According to Bordeaux Pa pers, it would seem that the downfall of M. ZEA was owing to an exposition of Ge neral QUESADA, which was couched in more decided language than that of LLAUDER• This last General, in a proclamation in which he renews his protestations of fidelity to the QUEEN, declares that his . " views have been completely realized in the late political changes made at Madrid." The Augsburg Gazette contains some gossip from Constantinople of no consequence. Dutch Papers say, " All eyes are turned on the journey of the Prince of ORANGE to St. Petersburg!), who is not expected back before the month of March. Till that time nothing of importance can be looked for." We are a wise people—we take away the trade of China from the East India Company, and we restore it to all British subjects, not as British subjects should have it, but with a weight upon it, which must prevent it from rising, if it does not sink it. All nations exact duties from other nations coming to their har bours, and even from their own subjects, who use them. But who ever before heard of any na tion levying duties in the port of another ? Yet we, by an order in Council (what right has our Council to make an order for a Chinese har bour ?), have imposed heavy duties upon all British vessels using the port of Canton ! Do we mean to say that we are to usurp the right of the Emperor of CHINA over a port in his own dominions ? And what is to be the effect of it ? Is it to extend to every port in China ? If it is, how is it to be made effectual ? If it could be made effectual, will it not cramp and narrow our trade ? If it can be made effectual only at Canton, will it not drive our traders to other ports in China, and perhaps induce them to contrive to make some ports in our Indian territories, Singapore for example, an emporium for Chinese produc tions, and thus save themselves from this Port Council Duty ? Is it necessary even at Canton ? Do the Americans levy any duty on their ships going there, or is any establishment (for which we presume this Port Council Duty is meant to pay), at all necessary toenable them to buy tea at Canton ? Ar.d why has our establishment that is to be there, been rendered so expensive ? We had understood that Sir GEORGE STAUNTON and three of the present Committee of the East India Company already there, were to have formed it. We know little of Lord NAPIER, but we are quite sure no one will put him in competition with Sir GEORGE STA UNTON. if our merchants were to be saddled with a Port Council Duty to defray the expense of an establishment at Canton, why has not the best establishment been given to them at the cheapest rate ? But why are they to pay for any establishment at all, and why are they to be obliged to provide for a Court favourite ? If any establishment he ne cessary, it ought to be at the general expense of the public. We not only object upon principle to the mode that has been taken to defray the expense of the establishment, but to the kind of esta blishment that is proposed at Canton. If it should be found necessary, some large frigate:, should have been directed to proceed from India, where we must have a fleet, and moor in the river of Canton, or cruise in the China seas, during the season when British trading vessels can be in the river. We should have applauded such an order, because we are quite sure that such a direction would have been of infinitely more service, and less expensive to the trade, than this new- fangled establishment, and this novel Port Council Duty. We do not like the Govern ment ever to interfere with trade, either by establishment or otherwise, but we think this one of the worst interferences we have ever wit nessed, and we wish our traders a happy deli verance from it, Most visionaries and quacks have some wit and cleverness about them, and contrive so inge niously to gull mankind, that we half forgive their frauds on account of their address ; but of all the visionaries we ever saw or read of, ROBERT OWEN certainly has the least wit about him, and the slightest claims for indulgence at the hands of the public. He has been year after year wearying the public with what he calls his plans and fixed principles, and the services he has rendered human nature, and we, like some other "gentlemen editors," have attended his lectures, and read some of his productions, in the hope of information, or obtaining some knowledge of these plans and fixed principles ; but we can didly confess that we never yet could descry a glimmering of the splendid light with which he was to illuminate the world, or discover any rational and defined plan for the improve ment of mankind. He is eternally descanting on what he will do for society, and like eternity is only beginning to begin. He is unceasingly boasting of the blessings he will confer on the grosely ignorant and irrational, if they will only follow his counsels, and adopt his plans, but these plans and counsels are as unintelligible as the answers of the Pythian god, delivered by a lady of a certain age, in the midst of sulphureous vapours, and sitting bare on a three-legged stool. The world in general, and more particularly our editorial brethren, have viewed Mr. OwEN's services in the same light, and so provoked his ire by their stupidity, that he has been forced to issue a manifesto, drawn up under twelve heads (in imitation no doubt of the Roman Laws of the Twelve Tables). In these he pretends to show the vast benefits he has conferred on society, but so inherent is his faculty of prophesying, that, with the exception of the first table, which is a mere assertion, all conclude with a reference to the future, or a scornful lamentation over the ignorance and perverse obstinacy of the age. That we may not be accused of unfair state ments, let the reader look at his twelve tables, and he will find that they are all in keep ing with his lectures. His first great plan was " destroyed by the House of Lords." Some time will be required " before the knowledge of the next can be understood"—a third holds out a prospect"--a fourth, like the offer of CO LUMBUS (modest !) was " rejected"—and all the remainder are described in such encouraging phrases as—" a plan by which at any time a Government may," v ultimate results," " ere long," "if rightly used," and " a scheme for remodelling and recreating human nature !" Truly they are schemes, and the result will ever be ultimate. EXPRESS FROM PORTSMOUTH AND FALMOUTH. (From a Morning Contemporary.) PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NINE O'CLOCK. —The wind has been from the northward now for twenty four hours, and at this period is a few points easterly ; withal it is frosty, and a great deal of ice was formed last night in the neighbourheod. The merchants will be glad to hear that 50 or 60 vess, Is have left the Motherbank about dark ; they were seen safely beyond the Nab Light. It is under stood also that about 20 vessels have left Cowes Roads, and must have cleared the Needles before dark. All will be off in the morning, amounting to nearly 300 sail, with every prospect of moderate weather. This must be a great relief to the mercantile interest. We had hoped the Revenge, 74, from Lisbon was coming in with further news of Saldanha's movements, but we were deceived. The Revenge, however, is hourly expected. FALMOUTH, TUESDAY, JAN. 28.—This afternoon the wind shifted suddenly from the west to north-north-west, when the following packets were instantly ordered to sea, and have since proceeded, viz.:—Lyra, for Brazils, Con fiance steamer, Pantaloon brig, and the Seajlower cutter, the latter three for Oporto and Lisbon, each with mails. —The Royal William and City of Edinburgh steamers, with 800 troops, chiefly Belgians, for the Constitutional service in Portugal, are preparing to start this evening for the Tagus ; the other outward bound vessels will remain till the morning. NEW MONTHLY LIBRARIES OF ENTER TAINMENT.-We are requested to state that on the Ist of February, with the Magazines, will be published at only 49. per vol. bound in morocco cloth,-1. The Feb ruary number of Colburn's Modern Novelists, containing Mr. Hooke's celebrated stories, entitled " Sayings and Do ings," in three volumes. 2. The February number of the Naval and Military Library of Entertainment, con taining the " Tales of Military Life," by the author of the " Military Sketch Book," in three volumes. 3. The February number of the Library of Irish Romance, con taidng Mr. Banim's celebrated story of " The Croppy," in three volumes. Orders should be forwarded early to the booksellers, to prevent disappointment. INCENDIARY FIRE.—A fire broke out on Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, on the premises of Mr. Woods, in Boston Fen, Market Rasen, which con sumed four large stacks of oats and barley (supposed to be about 130 quarters), two large wheat_straw stacks, and a large range of sheds; also a quantity of farming imple ments, together with some corn in stacks, one four year old cart-horse, one excellent milch cow, ten small pigs, fifty or sixty couple of fowls, &c. There is little doubt it was the aet of an incendiary. Mr. Woods, we regret to say, was only insured to a small amount. Upwards of 500 people assembled at the fire, and exerted themselves to the utmost in endeavouring to extinguish the flames. Among the most active were the Rev. Mr. Worsley, of Thuriby, and Col. Denshire, and five of his sons.—Samford News. We understand that the Burning Cliff at Holwortb, near Weymouth, has been laid open to a consi derable extent by the late violence of the sea and tem pestuous hurricanes..—Sherliorne Mercury.

A LUNATIC. Mr. \VHITMARSH renewed his application that the Court would be pleased to direct, the lunatic's sole brother having been approved of as the committee of the person and the property, that the securities be dispensed with, and that the Bank of England do transfer' into Court 1,500/. three per cents., which was the amount of the lunatic's fortune, and which yielded about 45/. a year. The object in dispensing with the securities and the grant was to save expense. The Loan CHANCELLOR, after examining the Act of Parliament, and looking carefully at the petition, made the order in consideration of the smallness of the property, and the brother having been at very consider able expense already in cueing out the Commission, and in taking care of and maintaining both the lunatic and her daughter, a girl of 16 years of age. DARE V. FLETCHER. Mr. KINDERSLEY applied for leave to have this case put into the paper for some early morning, to be spoken to upon the question, whether two or three words should stand a part of the Court's order. Mr. KNIGHT wished to know whether the words were " allowed in account?" Mr. KINDERSLEY replied in the affirmative. Mr. KNIGHT could assure the Court that that question would open the whole argument. Mr. KINDEESLEY had no idea how that could be. He pledged himself that as far as he was concerned all he bad to say would be stated in few words. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave leave for it to be in the paper on Saturday. THE NEW FEES. Mr. SHARPE was instructed to apply to his Lordship respecting a difficulty that had taken place in the Regis trar's-office, upon the subject of the newly regulated scale of fees; and, indeed, he came to his Lordship in con sequence of a direction to that effect, given by the Master of the Rolls. By the new regulations, if a petition be presented, praying, for instance, for the appointment of a trustee, and a reference (as it would of course be) were directed, then a fee of 10s. would be payable to the Registrar, and in all other cases a fee of 21. In this case the petition prayed directly for the reference, and therefore the Registrars claimed the larger fee, which the party applying submitted they were not entitled to. The LORD CHANCELLOR promise I to look into and consider it. ROBERTSON V. LORD LONDONDERRY. The part-heard arguments were resumed. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Besides, the Court did not think that the article affected bis Lordship's honour. The rule was therefore refused. THE KING V. HERNAINIAN's Sir JAMES Scam. Err showed cause against a rule which had been obtained by the Solicitor-General, calling on the defendant, as the proprietor of the Newcastle Journal, to show cause why a criminal information should not issue against him for publishing a libel upon the Earl of Durl am. The rule had been obtained on the affidavits of the Nob'e, Lord, and of a person named Davis, who was mate of his Lordship's yacht the Louisa ; the libel was published on the 28th of Novemb,r last, and stated that the Louisa was then at anchor in the Tyne, with the tricolor of France flying at the mast head ; that it bad excited the in dignatiolof hundreds of brave seamen who had fought their country's battles during the last war, and that they vented their curses loud and deep. It then referred to his Lord ship's having insulted hia King and the Royal N ivy by having, while his vessel and the rest of the Royal Yacht squadron were in Cherbourg harbour, hoisted a flag hearing his own arms over the national flag of England. Those statements were denied by Lord Durham and his mate, but the master of the vessel had made no affidavit. The Learned Counsel, at considerable length, went through all the facts disclosed in those affidavits, and then produced a number of affidavits of persons resid ing at Shields and Cherbourg, in support of the material facts named in the paragraph, and contended that the rule should be discharged. The - Soticrrox-GENERAL addressed the Court in sup. port of the rule. The length of the speeches and the lateness of the hour prevent our giving a more detailed report. The case was not over when our reporter left. PRACTICE OF THE COURT. Mr. SIIARP this morning made an application to his Honour for the purpose of receiving the assistance of the Court, in consequence of some difficulties which had arisen relative to the schedule of fees to be received by the Re gistrars and their clerks, which was appended to the new orders lately issued by the three Judges, for the regulation of the practice and proceedings of the Court of Chancery. The question arose on the following clauses :—" For every order on other petitions (i. e. not petitions or motions of course), where the prayer is not granted, but a reference is previously directed, and where the petition is dismi , sed, 10s. For every other order on petitions, 2/." In this case it was the usual practice to appoint a new trustee, but the person who drew it being aware that a reference was always granted in the first instance, had prayed for such reference, which was granted by the Court. If the prayer had been merely for the appoint ment oT a new trustee, and the Court had made an order for reference, it would have come within both clauses, and both charges would have been made. His HONOUR said—l know nothing of the scale of fees. I never saw them. I understood that they had been approved of by the officers of the Court and the Lord Chancellor, and I signed the orders without having seen the table of fees. Mr. Fry, the registrar, stated that two lists of fees had been sent to the office, and the registrars had considered it necessary to make several alterations, but they had not been attended to. The schedule, which they had approved of and delivered to Mr. Vizard, had been a very different one. There were, besides, several words left out which made a most material difference from what had been intended. Mr. PErtmaToN observed that they had occasioned, universally, a great deal of dissatisfaction. Mr. LOVATT said the new orders would occasion a great deal more expense to suitors than under the former system. The MASTER of the ROLLS repeated his observation that he bad signed the orders without hiving particularly looked into the schedule of fees on the representation and belief that it had been approved of by the Lord Chancellor and the officers of the Court. The hest way of removing the difficulties that were felt would be to make an applica tion to the Lord Chancellor on the subject. Mr. SHARP replied that as the petition in respect of which the question arose Lad come before his Honour, he was consequently induced to make the present applica tion to him and not before the Lord Chancellor. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) On their Lordships taking their seats, the Master read a number of new rules to regulate the future pr►ctice of pleadings, demurrers, &c., which had been agreed to by the Judges of the different Courts, in accordance with the late Act of Parliament. THE ICING V. GEORGE BATLEY. The defendant, who had been tried at the last sittings at Guildhall, and found guilty on an indictment, charging him, as master of the ship Hebe, with wilfully and un lawfully leaving two of his crew, viz., Isaac Ponsonby and Robert Hayne, on sbore at Buenos Ayres, and refusing to bring them back to England, appeared in Court to receive judgment. . . _ _ The defendant, in mitigation of punishment, stated that he had no intention of leaving the men on shore, but having sent them in a bolt to perform a particular duty, and, finding they did not return for 24 hours, he was obliged to take two others in their stead, upon which he felt be was justified in refusing to receive the other two, because otherwise he should have more men than was necessary. He threw himself entirely on the mercy of the Court. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in reply, said there was no desire to press harshly against the defendant; hut the Act upon which the indictment was framed, was passed in order to protect a very meritorious class of men, and to compel a captain to bring back to England those men whom he took on board. - The two men whom the defendant refused to receive, and bring home, were proved to have been forced out to sea, by stress of weather, and, upon being picked up, by a French vessel and brought back to Buenos Ayres, they immediately offered themselves to the defendant, who re fused to receive them, and engaged two others in their stead. That was the whole substance of the case. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed that the Act re quired the master of a vessel to bring home all such men whom he took out, as should be in a condition to return when the vessel was ready for sea, and when the mister required their services. Upon looking at the indictment, he found the words of the Act were not strictly followed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL argued that the indictment sufficiently followed the Act of Parliament. The LORD Costar JUSTICE put it to the learned Counsel whether, as there were many palliative circum stances in the case, it would not be better to let the de fendant go at large, on his own recognizances to appear and receive judgment when called on. The absence of the two men was not very cleatly accounted for, and it must have put the defendant to considerable embarrassment. The SOLICITOR GENERAL was willing to adopt any suggestion from the Court, but he thought there was no reason to discredit the evidence of the two men. The defendant, by order of the Court, entered into his own recognisance of 1001 , and was set at liberty. THE KINQ V. EVE. Sir JAMES ScAuLErrmo;edfo;aCriminal information against John Pritchard Eve, Editor of the Satirist, for a libel on Lord Charles Wellesley, a Major in the Ist Foot Guards. The libel was published in that journal on the 23.1 of last June, and purported to give a history of a very disgraceful scene at Windsor during the Ascot races, in which the noble complainant took a conspicuous part; it charged the whole party with getting drunk, and beating some persons in the streets of Windsor, and expressed a hope that they would be punished. The affidavit of the Noble Complainant denied all participation in, or even a knowledge of, any transaction of the kind alluded to, and distinctly accounted for the manner in which he passed his time during the race week. To some inquiries by the Court, the learned Counsel stated that Lord C. Welles'ey had information of the publication, but in consequence of hi s th en p repar i ng t o go abroad, his going there in Sept e mb er , an d no t b e i ng a bl e to return until a week ago, he was not able to make an affidavit until now. The COURT were of opinion that the Noble Lord had allowed too great a length of time to elapse, for be might have made the affidavit before he went abroad, and the application should have been more promptly made. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice J. PARKE.) THE KING V. BLOCKSON. Mr. Han said that early in the last term he hal applied to the Court for a rule calling on the appellants in the case to show cause why the recognizinces entered into by the respondent to bring up the case by certiorari should not he discharged. The case was this—the appellant, a person named Smith, was convicted before the re spondent, a magistrate, of being an idle and disor derly person, and for not maintaining his wife and chill. Smith appealed, and his defence was that the child was illegitimate, and on the hearing of the appeal the Court quashed the conviction. The respondent entered recognizinces, and sued out a certiorari, and broe.ght the case into the Court of King's Bench. The Court thought there was not a sufficient finding of the facts and the usual order was drawn up, that the case must go dovi n to be re-stated. They went to a new trial. There was no objection to the new hearing and the Court of Quarter Sessions confirmed the previous order. It was laid down that the Sessions is perfectly competent to come to an opposite conclushm from the superior Court, and on that latter cccasion 'other witnesses were examined than on the former one. The sessions also found specially this fact—that the wife was living in adultery since she left her husband, but that the child was legitimate. He (Mr. Hill) moved for a rule, calling on the other side to show cause why the respondent's re. cognizinces should not be dischareed, he being satisfied with the decision in his favour. If the other p irty corn bated this decision, it was their duty to take all the steps to bring the case before the Court. Upon the bearing of this motion, Mr. Justice Littledale came to this con clusion, that the rule should be enlarged until the hearing of the new cause before the Court of King's Bench. The Learned Gentleman stated that he had affidavits made in October last, that the other side bad taken no one step to bring the case before the Court, nor never would, be causa he never could be in a better situation; the order of conviction is suspended for the present, the parish is maintaining his wife and child, and the husband is in exactly the same situation he was before the conviction. He (Mr. Hill) had the decision of the Court below in his favour, but that Court could not make any order on the case, because, in the eye of the law, it is still here by force of the certiorari. COURT—You consider the certiorari still in force ? Mr. HILL—I don't see how we can get rid of it. Perhaps I might make it a part of my rule to quash the certiorari. COURT-The certiorari was merely to bring the case up for trial. What is your present motion? Mr. HILL—I move, my Lord, to discharge the rule, and to call on the other party to show cause why they should not enter into recognizances to bring the case up within a certain time, or in default of doing so, that the last order of the Session should be affirmed. The COURT said the case was one of some difficulty. Perhaps the best way would be to enlarge the order till the third or fourth day of next term, and if the other party did not then bring forward the case, Mr. Hill might apply to have the rule made absolute. The rule, as amended, wds then granted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) WILSON V. CULTING. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 621. 10s., under the following circumstances:— The plaintiff and the defendant had joined in the freighting for a voyage a ship calved the Lord Nelson, and at the termination of the adventure came to a settlement of ac• counts, in which the defendant took credit to himself in the account stated as having been paid by him to the broker who had transacted the business of the speculation. Tiny payment, however, he had not made, and the plaintiff was sub s equently arrested by the broker, and had been compelled to pay the debt of the joint-concern, together with the costs of the arrest, to recover which from the defendant the present action was brought. The cause came on before Mr. Justice Gaselee, during the present Term, when the Learned Judge directed the Jury to find for the plaintiff, reserving liberty to the defendant to move the Court in order to take its opinion as to whether the partnership was not such an one between the parties as made the subject matter for the adjudication of a Court of Equity. Mr. Sergeant Gonutuorr this morning moved the Court accordingly to set aside the verdict. The COURT however held that the plaintiff had a pill cause of action, inasmuch as that any partnership that had existed had terminated with the voyage, and therefore the plaintiff was entitled to recover the expenses he had sus tained by reason of the defendant's neglect. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) INSOLVENTS' COURT.-(THIS DAY) Elizabeth P7iest, an old woman, whose case had bees on several occasions before the Court, came up this morn• ing for adjudication. The insolvent, who was unopposed, had, it appeared► formerly kept a puhlic-house in Sheffield, which she gayer up between two and three years ago, and from that pe riod had been an inmate of the Fleet Prison ; her property during her incarceration had been sold by her son-in-law,' and realised near!) , 200/., the whole of which bad beeni spent on the support of herself and some members of her family. When the whole was gone she petitioned the Court. It further appeared the insolvent had married a per• son named Wood, who had a wife living at the same time►, and as compensation he made a will in her favour appointing her sole executrix. He died some time since, but she bad not proved it ; she had, however, deposited it with n creditor as security for a debt, who refused to give it up. Wood had died possessed of some property. Mr. Cooke appeared on a former occasion for the appointment of an assignee, and hoped the Court would order the will to be given up, as the assignee might administer the effects under the same. The Commissioner then remarked► that the present case would, no duiht, be expatiated upon as one illustrating the cruelty of imprisonment for debt as one of an old woman who had been in prison for two years—but, in his opinion, she deserved not the slightest commiseration ; and, as she had stayed in prison to " oblige" herself, she would stay there some time longer' to " oblige" her creditors ; and the case stood adjourned. ; To day Mr. COOK E again appeared, and an affidavit► setting forth the nature of the lien on the will, was read. The COURT said they could do nothing further for the assignee; he could adopt what course he thought proper; and as no good would result from a prolongation of her imprisonment, the Court ordered her to be discharged.

GODDARD. This was an action tried before the Under. Sheriff. On a former day a rule Nisi was obtained by Mr. C. Jones to set aside the verdict, which was for the plaintiff. Mr. LLOYD this morning showed cause against the rule. It appeared that the wife of the plaintiff had served with the defendant as cook,, while he was landlord of the Crown at Hounslow, and the action was brought by her husband, who had married her at a subsequent period, for her wages. The defendant, on the other band, s,id the female came to Hounslow to look after some proprty, and being in a very destitute state, be took her in out of charity, and never meant her for a servant. On the trial it further appeared that the female in question had, in the year 1820, been m ailed to a man named Pellew, her former husband being dead. Pellew's family resided at Canterbury. He went abroad to avoid a criminal prose cution ; and in 1826, when she visited hia relation., she found them all in mourning, and on inquiry was informed that it was for her husband, who had been living at Gi braltar. In 1832, believing such to be the case, she was again married to the plaintiff. The COURT said it was not usual on such occasions for the family to go into mourning, which was further pub lishing of the matter. They did not think the death of the former husband was sufficiently proved, and therefore the rule must be discharged. The following gentlemen were yesterday called to the degree of barrister-at-lAw, by the Honourable So• ciety of Gray's Inn:—John Liwrence Tatham, Thomas Hudson, Esq., John Bolin, Esq., and Thomas Stephens, Esq. Mr. John Alorland was also admitted to practice as a conveyancer.
