COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE EVELYN, A DECEASED LUNATIC. Mr. CHING stated that some time since the Court made an >rder for the transfer of the Lunatic's fund (he being dead) to iis representative. Before that order was pronounced a laimant, by assignment under one of the next of kin, had ibtained an order putting a stop on the whole fund. The re- Presentative had arranged with the assignee to take the order vithout prejudice to so much of the stock as belonged to the text of kin, the representative undertaking not to part with he fund without notice to the assignee, and the latter undertak ng to file a bill for the administration. The Lunn CHANCELLOR had no objection to the modification KING V. HAMLET. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL occupied till half-past one from he sitting, in replying in this cause, which has put a stop to all )ther business in the Court for three days. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would look into the case. rile questions resolved themselves very much into questions of act. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BLUNDELL. This was an information which was filed for the purpose If having a new trustee appointed of certain charity estates, in he neighbourhood of Tiverton, and that a reference might be lirected to the Master, to inquire and state whether a proposed !Xchange of charity lands would be beneficial, and if so, that t might be carried into effect. The testator in the cause in .715 left 10,C00/. to be invested in the purchase of lands, the nterest of which he directed should be applied in establishing O ms-houses, in augmenting the salary of a schoolmaster for eachi ng the poor in the hospital, or workhouse, at Tiverton, Ind among a variety of other objects to grant a certain allow- Mee to the parochial clergyman for representing the affairs of 'he charity. The will of the founder contained a provision that ', he l ands should be in the names and under the management of rir ee trustees who were to be " fit, honest, and substantial in_ habitant s o f T iverton. " F rom t i me to t i me, as d eat h re d uce d heir number, new trustees were properly appointed by the iurvivor. In 1830, however, the surviving trustee, Mr. Os. nend, appointed his son to act along with him, and Mr. Blun_ l el% the defendant, in execution of the trust. The 'ather being now dead, it was necessary, in the circumstances, 0 make this application to the Court. A proposal had been made, i t appeared, by a clergyman named Carey, who held property contiguous to the charity lands, to make an exchange, which, it was conceived, would be extremely beneficial to the :rust; but there being only two trustees, and Mr. Osmond lattdying been an inf ant, w h en h e was a ppointed by his father, nota y e t , in fact, having attained his majority, he was legally i intimatendeahliable of en t er t a i n i ng th e p ro p osa l. He had also s,(Let:rmination never to consent to any such ar rangement. 14 information prayed that he might be dis. charged, and th at new trustees might be appointed in his room and of his father, deceased. Mr Mr. BICKERSTE T ES, on it appeared in support of the information. . BEAM t h Geo. IV., chap. 90, g e other side, stated that the Ist and id to determine in all cases authority to the Bishop of the diocese the propriety of any proposed ex changes of charity land: , Df the present informatio.n,and as this was the material object in respect of which the Court had, under the Act, n o Dsmond was, in fact, jurisdiction whatever, as Mr. gentleman who had originally Constituted the charity, and was possessed of large prope r t y i n the neighbourh oo d, as no impu_ ation was thrown up on him, e weeks of obtaining his ma j or i ty, the c a . : he was within a few would not depose him f rom th e trust, which it was contended, , which no doubt he was anxious most efficiently to perform. His HONOUR said, without reference to the proposed e th x e _ change of l an d it was absolutely necessary ee Er ections in the will of th e f oun d er, th a t t h ere should g n t o o w be .h . ree trustees, and the question was, whether there could P os .bly be th ree l ega l trustees without the assistance of the , i -ourt. His opinion was, that there could not. Mr. Esmond had been app o i nted by his father when an infant, 3 ind he could not therefore be considered as filling he d es cription in the will ` ° as a fit and substlalnistiaalpipnehhaibtmitaenntt Sr householder of the town of Ti verton. " vas therefore improper, and void. His infancy could not but 'ender it so. It should, therefore, be referred to the Master ' 0 approve of two new trustees in Place of his father and the nfant ; but as there was no imputation on him, with liberty to [l dr, Osmond to propose himself as one. The costs of all parties were ordered to be borne by the charity funds. VICE CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ROBBERIES IN COURT. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morning, stated to Mr. Knight that on arriving at his house ast night he found a letter addressed to him by a gentleman, :omplaining in most respect:ill terms of the insufficient number if police attending the Courts in Westminster Hall, and re luesting his Honour to take some steps to have their number tncreased. The writer stated as a reason for presuming to address his Honour by letter, that on the first day of term, when attending his duty in Court, he was surrounded by pick pockets with whom the Court was crowded, and robbed of seve ral sovereigns and other valuable articles. Mr. KNIGHT thought that the application would have been more proper if made to the Home.office, as its object came strictly within that department. He had no doubt that the lately appointed Under Secretary, on the matter being sub mitted to him, would give it his best attention and possibly remedy the grievance complained of. COURT OF KING'S BENCEI.-( THIS DAY. NECK v. wisE. The SouclTol GENERAL moved, on the part of the plaintiff, to set the verdict in this case for the defendant aside, and to have a new trial. It was an action on a bill of exchange for 1001., brought by the endorsee against the acceptor. The bill was drawn on the 20th April, 1533, by one Smith, on and accepted by the defendant, and endorsed successively by Smith, Moore, Jacobs, and Israel, by the latter of whom it was endorsed to the plaintiff. This action was set down on the undefended list, but, contrary to expectation a defence was put forward. The plaintiff proved a prima facie case ; viz., the acceptance and endorsements. The defence then was, that a certain party had been defrauded of the bill ; and to prove the defence, the defendant called that much-injured personage John Minter Hart, who swore that he had been defrauded of it by Moore, to whom he intrusted it for discount. In answer to that the plaintiff called two witnesses who were wholly Uncontradicted, and who most distinctly proved that the plaintiff had giN en to Israel full consideration. Yet, notwith. standing the evidence of those two witnesses, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. That verdict was contrary to the whole of the evidence, and therefore the Learned Counsel sub_ 'flitted that there should be a new trial. The COURT refused the rule on the ground that the jury were the proper judges of the credibility of witnesses, and that the judge who tried the cause (Patteson) was satisfied with the Verdict. Sill C. BURRELL, BART., V. NICHOLSON. This was an action of treliass brought by the plaintiff against an officer of the parish of St. ➢largaret, Westminster, and the question in issue was whether the mansions, &c., in Whitehall-gardens, Privy-gardens, and that district, were rateable to the poor of the parish. It was tried at the sitting after last term before the Lord Chief Justice, and a verdict found for the defendant, by which the validity of the rate upon that ex tensive property was established, at least as far as that verdict Was concerned. Sir J. ScAaLvrr this morning moved for a new trial, and took a variety of objections, chiefly to the admission of what he submitted was improper evidence. Hg went at considerable length into the history of that part of Westminster from a very early period, and contended that as it had formed part of the site of the ancient palace of the Kings of England it was extra parochial, and exempt from all parochial burdens. The Couar were of opinion that a rule nis i should be granted upon all the points raised, in order to have the case thoroughly s i bscussed. COURT OF EXCHEQI-----‘77-'--/---1. - (THIS DA. , TILLIES V. riirsr e This was an action brought hy a i l '• which was tried to - to recover damages for a violent e - s e s a a n ' an against his Captain, fore Mr. Baron BOLIAND at the l a t e j t t i arnages. a verdict was found for the plaintiff; w i t t h n f s in London, when enol:th February, The plaintiff was a sailor on 1,-. —ard th 2°l. d which the defendant was the Captain. on etneAndromache, of 183% the ship was lying in the river at Chart warping the ship round, and the men were worki ng T heY were m a d t th e lass, when the Captain came up and said plaintift v wind. ordered him below. He refused to go, and a seume Z a k. and which the defendant seized a handspike and struck sed ! n over the right side of the head which made him pl aint i ff That was the evidence of one man who was o n board at the . time. Another witness deposed that he was in a I 3 oat a-he of the ship, and saw the captain thrust plaintiff down the hatchway, when he took hold of a rope with both hands, and jumped six times on the plaintiff's head. On his cross-exami. nation, he said the boat was 60 fathoms from th e s hi p; the deck was eleven and a half feet from the water, and the bulwarks were other three and a half feet high, yet he saw the fact he had sworn to, although the plaintiff's head and shoulders were'all that was above the deck. It was also proved, that about six weeks after that occurrence he was seized with syn. copy, &c., a violent discharge from the nose, mouth, and ears, which, it was alleged, arose from the ill-usage of the defendant on the occasion referred to. Mr. J. WILLIAMS now moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. He contended, that part ofit was exceedingly improbable, and a great part of it was impos sible, otherwise the witness must have been gifted with the rare faculty of seeing very clearly through a stout oaken plank. He trusted that, as the evidence was so very improbable, that no thing could have obtained the verdict but prejudice, he should be granted his rule without payment of costs. He had another short point. He offered in evidence the deposition of a sailor named Dawson, and proved that in the preceding June he sailed on a voyage from London to Canada, thence to Cork And then ,t 9 Charleston, from which the vessel was to return home, but it had not yet done so, nor had Dawson been seen ; though that wa s not at all answered, the Learned Judge had rejected the depositions. The COURT were of opinion, that up on the latter point there o ught to be a rule ; they would, before deciding the other Win; consult with the Learned Judge who tried the cause. BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JAN. 11.-His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans left Brussels y, stet,' evening at 8 o'clock, to return to Paris. _ . The Gazette Van Gend explains in the folowing manner the return of the workmen to their occupation " The workmen belonging to the manufactories of Messrs. Polimann and Fervaeeke, of Bart.de-Hert and Clai Cock, came the day before yesterday with their masters before the Council of Feud hommes, of this city. The workmen who were heard the day before yesterday returned to their work yesterday, and resumed their usual occtip t tions, in consequence of the reconcilia.ion which the Coun cil of Prod' hommes has effected between tl,e manufacturers and their men. Those who were heard yesterday will retur❑ to their manufactories to-day, and there is every reason to hope that a similar result will be obtained for al. A letter from Maestricht says—" For some days past there has been considerable mortality among the garrison ; the number of deaths have been 13 per day. The phy sicians affirm that it is the Cholera. The great rising of the waters has done much damaze in the environs of the fortress. There are some houses between the town of Sneeermaes, the inhabitants of which have not been able to go out for these three weeks, the water being five feet deep before their doors. In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, y es t.rday, the Order of the Day was the debate on the budget of the departments of Foreign Affairs and the Marine. M. Doignon wished that the Ministry should give some explanation respecting the return of the plenipotentiaries to the Conference, and the state of the negotiations, whether they are deferred or finally broken off, and whether our affairs are now to he discussed at Vienna or London. He feared the issue of the negotiations, and suspected that the Ministry intends gradually to lead the nation to further concessions. M. F. de Merode said that the plenipotentiaries had returned to Brussels only on leave of absence, and did not see that any inconvenience could re sult from this while the labours of the Conferencet were suspended for a time. M. A. Rodenbach thought when the German States had concluded a commercial treaty for twenty mil lions of people, when the Prussian Government was was going to make a railroad to the frontiers of Belgium; and when all Europe was attentive to this change, Belgium, as a manufacturing and commercial country, ought to think of extending its commercial rela tions with those states whose system of Tariff duties was much more liberal than that of France and England. He asked if the Ministry would send to Berlin a man more capable of properly representing the Belgian nation, and of defending our commercial interests. The Minister of Justice said that the definitive arrange ment of the legation to Berlin depended on the vote of the budget, but that the Government would exert itself to promote our commercial relations with the German States. BRUSSELS, JAN. 12.—A deputation from the Magi strates of Ghent yesterday presented to the King a peti tion, the object of which was to lay before his Majesty an account of the distressed state of the cotton manufac tories in that city, and to indicate the remedies that might be applied to it. A deputation from the manufacturers of Ghent has arrived at Brussels, to lay before the Government and the bank the statutes of the society which has been talked of for some days past. In the Chamber of Representatives yesterday the salaries of the Ambassadors at Foreign Courts were the subject of discussion. 58,000 francs being proposed for the Ambas sador at Paris, M. Gendebien made a violent attack on M. Le Hon, who, he said, made many changes which lie was not authorised to do, and had been of very little ser vice in his diplomatic capacity. M. Nothomb defended M. Le Hon, and the sum of 58,000 francs was voted. 80,000 francs were voted for the Legation at London, without debate ; and 54,000 for that at Berlin. The vote of 30,000 for the mission at Vienna was deferred till Monday. Messrs. Dumortier and Gendebien highly disapproved of the appointment of M. O'Sullivan, which was defended by the Ministers of the Interior, Justice, and Foreign Affairs.—Brussels Papers, January 13. GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, JAN. 4.—The plenipotentiaries arrived since our last are Baron Guise, from Bavaria; Count Beroldi gen, from Wirtemberg ; M. de Plessin, from Mecklenburg- Schwerin ; M. de 13 , :rg, from Olden' urg; M. Reitzenstein, from Baden, and M. Marschall, from 131 unswick. All that are now wanting are the representative of the Six teenth Vote, anti the Pi ussian Minister. FRONTIERS Or SERVIA, DEC.—However joyful to the Servians was the 6th June, when they were offi ei illy informed by their Prince that the Porte restored the districts violently wre-ted from it by Chourschid Pacha, the 4th of Dec., 1813, was a still happier day for them, when a S,rvian Courier arrived from Constan tinople, bringing to Prince Mi:osch the long expected Hatti Scheriff, signed by the Sultan, confirming all the national privileges granted to them since 1820. Notwithstanding the able intervention of General Ilii tenieff, these districts could not be obtained without some R•cuniary sacrifice•, which are in no proportion to the political advantages which the country obtains. Servia acquires an increase of territory of 200 (4,000 English) square miles, with a population of 230,000 souls, so that the entire population will now be a million. With a judi cious organization the country, with its ❑atural wealth, must soon attain great prosperity. We learn that Prince Milosch intends to submit to the consideration of the next assembly of the people several organic laws, which ate already prepared. Among them is a proposal f , r a Servian Pantheon, that is, a book in which the deeds of all those pet sons shall be recorded who have distinguished themselves in the affairs of Servia tip to tie receipt of the a!iove-m.-ntioned Hatt; Seheriff. VIENNA, JAN. 4.—Five per Cent. 95 1-16 ; Four per Cent. 85 ; Bank Stock 12374.-2111getneine Zeituny, Jam 9. The Duke of Cumberland is expected to leave 11,11 in the week alter noct fur his residence in St. James's Palace, preparatory to the meeting of Pmliament, ut will return to the Continent before the close of the Ses•iun. We hear that Lord Auckland has been ap p inted to succeed Lord Grenville as Auditor of the Ex chequer. This appointment was absolutely necessary to enable the ordinary drily appointments to be made for the public service; bat although Lord Auckland is understood to be appointed permanently on constitutional grounds, of course he will receive no part of the emoluments of his new office while he retina those of his present situation. On the opening of the session a bill will be brought in to regulate the Exchequer. in pursuance of the report of the Commissioners to whom the sublet: , was referred upon the formation of the present Admin;stration. Lord Auckland's office as Auditor or Controller (we think the latter is the name proposed by the commissionets for the chief station in the new Exchequer) will then become an efficient one, and all the useless rn,chinery and numerous situations at present existing, of Tellers, Clerks of the Pods, of the Registry, the Debentures, the Introitus, the Exitus, and of the Tallies, &c., with the salaries by which the public has been so long burdened, will be abolished. The salary recommended by the Commissioners for the office of Con trober or Auditor was, we believe, 2,0001. a year,— ,Ecening Paper. A sinister report has been set going, to the effect that Lord Grenville's office of Auditor of the Ex chequer is not to be reduced, but that Lord Auckland is to fill it. There must be some mistake in this, we suppose. If the office be not a sinecure, but entails on its holder active duties, how could Lord Grenville, a helpless inva lid, perform them ? How, too, comes Lord Auckland to .have ti me for their performance, in addition to those of 1 ,°.!.‘1 e present s i tuat i on as Chief of the Board of Trade? recollect that when Lord Grenville's acceptance of the .First Lordship of the Treasury in the Whig Administra tion irregular!of !806 was objected to, on the ground of gross rested the vindication single around trio tYi inasmuch as in that case the Noble Lord had the ticklish dut notorious sinecure t i of auditing his own accounts, Mr. Fox bon of the double appointment on the the auditorship was a substantial and chequer is to to t n hTZ be re. ui We are told, however, that the Ex ,. G A ove a r ted by a bill about to be brought in by his Majesty will prove a saving Times.

He may tae said almost to have died with the pen in his hand, finishing this his last work, under the harrowing thought that it was the only legacy he had to bequeath a wife and family. This alone would be suffi cient to disarm criticism ; but in truth the work requires nothing to recommend it to favour but its own intrinsic merits. The whole of the three volumes will be read with the greatest delight, and in many parts the interest is wound up to a high pitch. The work is mainly devoted to illustrations of Highland character, more especially as exemplified in the feelings and conduct of the Black Watch, a regiment of Highlanders raised soon after the accession of the House of Hanover, with the understanding that it was not to leave Scotland, but which is inveigled up to London, for the purpose of being sent abroad, by the perfidy of the Mi nisters of George 11. There is besides a love affair, and a hero, of course handsome, ge nerous, and brave. Of the plot connected with him we will say nothing ; but the follow ing description of the rescue of one of the personages of the story, a kind of Rob Roy, will give the reader a favourable idea of the general style of animation with which the work is written : " Having torn themselves from the family, when the two young men came to the front of the prison, they per ceived with concern that the guard without had been doubled, and that there was every symptom of unusual vigilance on the part of the military, as if some such at tempt as their own was a'ready expected. They stood some minutes in the shade of the rugged buttress of an ancient building, which then nearly facod the prison, and consulted together as to what they should do, in conse quence of the additional difficulties presented by this cir cumstance. They had little time for talk, however, IT the hour of changing the turnkeys for the night was fast approaching ; and upon the advantage to be taken of that moment depended all their hopes of success. " ' Are you sure,' said Hector to his young friend, ' that Donald has got inside ?' " ' I am confident he must,' replied Farquhar, 'else we should have found him here. God grant that he and others were well outside again ! But who can that be in the cocked hat and peat coat, peering about under the corner?' " ' Confound it !' exclaimed Hector, after looking out for a moment, it is that long lean officer that I had the tussle with at the skirmish wben your father was taken. If he has the command for the night, as seems to be the case, our exploit is almost desperate.' " ' Surely,' said Farquhar bitterly, ' I am the very plaything of ill-luck ! for had I suspected thie, I could as easily had half a dozen stout fellows at the corner of the street to assist us, as my tongue could have spoken the word.' " Hush, in that strain!' said Hector boldly ; fear is a coward born, and we must know neither this night. Stand close where you are--keep your weapon ready for the band, and your eyes fixed on that black door. Now bid me God speed !' " Hector who, in his civilian dress, and known as the doer of the burgess, had, through his master's intetest, obtained the unquestioned entree to the prisoner, was admitted without difficulty; but this evening, his person was subjected to a search, more strict than he had ever known it. Having passed this ordeal, as he now followed one of the low functionaries of punishment through the crooked passages, groping every where about for an ex pected object, his hand lighted among the thick hair of a bushy head, which he gladly recognised as that of the trusty Donald, Gleninore's servant, and the same who had originally acted his part so well in the care of the burgess's shop, crouched down in one of the darkest nooks of the irregular corridor. Catching a handful of the man's coarse hair as he pissed, Hector gave it a pull, to show his confidence. In return for this freedom, however, he' received from the Highlander such a squeeze in the thick of the leg with the mountainous sinewy hand, as almost endangered the wholeadventure, by the difficulty he found in preventing himself from screaming out with the pain. " At length they emerged into the small inner court, out of which opened a low door, by which admission was gained to the condemned cell, and in front of which a sentinel was posted. As the key was turning in the lock, Hector thought he observed the watchful red-coat glare upon bitn with a suspicious look. He, however, took no notice, and in another instant found himself in the pre sence of the object of his adventure. " Are we not to be left alone, friend'' said the un• fortunate man to the turnkey functionary, who still stood with his hand on the lock of the inner door. No,' said the man, ' it's the orders that I wait inside.' " A look was now exchanged between Hector and the Cearnach ; when the latter, t king the youth in his arms, and putting his mowh to his ear, a few earnest words of whispering conversation passed between them; after which, giving him a gentle pudi against the turnkey, he shook his leg to show that in that respect he was already free, and in another instant, by a sudden effort, the k, ys were wrested from the hands of the paralysed servant of the law, and the bold mountaineer was already on the out side of the first door. " • Dinna kill a puir body, and just keep her nain counsel,' whispered the m-in hastily to Hector, as he found himself in the youth's grasp. Do you think her nainsel has ony pleasure in seeing his honour hangit ? Lock her in, ye deevil, and take care o' the red scriger.' " Scarcely were the words spoken ere the man was en closed in the cell ; next the second door was opened, and in another instant the sentinel who stood without, was pouric , d upon by the athletic Cearnach. While Hector opened the other doors in the passage, the active IdiJi "rider continued to grapple with the Englishman, who seemed extremely unwilling to p irt with the musket which 11I'Naughton endeavoured to wrest out of his hand. The shout which the surprised sentinel set up while thus engaged, aroused the attention of ti e other functionaries to what was going forward ; hu' as they ran to their post•, on finding Hector engaged in opening the doors, out sprang from his concealment the bear-like Donald, and catching one of them in his arms, while Hector now made a dart at the other, who held the keys of the outer door, all became engaged in a furious encounter ; though entirely without weapons, save the heavy keys and a single bayonet now in the hands of the Cearnach. In a few minutes they had mastered, as well the functionaries as keveral hangers on who lounged in the outer lobby, and the lass door being opened by Hector, they attempted to get tiut into the street." THE MECHANIC'S MAGAZINE. We have before us the nineteeth volume of the Mechanic's Magazine, including the num bers from the 6th April and 28th September, 1833. We need scarcely say that its articles are not less instructive, and, indeed, amusing, collectively, than they were separately. As the means by which the minds of the artizan and mechanic have been opened to the philosophy of their daily tasks, it deserves the support of all friends of the progress of the human race in knowledge and happiness. Attached to it is a sheet full of autographical memorials of eminent philosophers, engineers, and mechanics. A private letter from Paris states, that Lady Lyndhurst, who had been dangerously ill of inflammation of the lunge, was considerably better. DR. NARES' LIFE OF THE GREAT LORD BU RLEIGH.-It bas been justly observed, tbat there is scarcely a more curious object of contemplation than is af forded by an insight into the daily life and the habit of mind of such a man as the great Lord Burghley, placed at the head of affairs during a long period of almost unexampled difficulty, and called upon to apply the energies of his genius to all kinds of emergency. Dr. Nares, in his Memoirs of this eminent statesman, now completed by the publication of the third volume, has pictured him under every aspect and circumstance of his multifarious career both public and private.-.in the chair of council and the seclusion of his study—in the depths of consultation with the acute and imperious Elizabeth, and amid the amuse ments of his splendid retirement at Theobald's. COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinft C,uncil - was held at fur o'clock yestcrdly afternoon, at the residence of Earl Grey, in Downing street.

His Lordship entertained his colleagues at dinner ; all the Members of the Cabinet were present except the Rirl of Carlisle, who is out of town. Mr. Burge, the agent for Jamaica, and the Marquis of Sligo had interviews with Mr. Secretary Stanh-y yester day, at the Culonial-utfice.

Yesterday the King drove out near to Lewes, accom panied by the Duchess of Gloucester, and returned to the Palace to luncheon at two o'clock ; after which his Ma jesty re entered his carriage with the Queen, and drove to Shoreham. The Princess Augusta is almost daily in public, when the weather permits. Her Royal Highness's health is now completely re-established. The following was the Royal dinner party of last even •—Thv Duke of Gloucester, Duke of Dorset, Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Lord and Lady Maryboroueh, Captain Bagot, Earl and Countess of Uxbridt'e, Earl of Belfa,t, Sir John Eiley, General Picot, Chevalir• de Vial (the Spanish Minister), Earl of Mayo, and the Suite. The Queen's band were in attendance, and played some ad mired pieces of music in the course of the evening. The Town Hall will b:• opened with a grand musical festival on the 3d of nest month. The first performers, vocal and instrumental, are engaged. This being the first performance of the kind that her Majesty his pa tronised since the arrival of the Court here, it cannot fail of being well attended. It is confidently stated here this morning that several persons have received invitations to their Majesties' party to-morrow eveping, who were refused admission to the " Almack's Bills" by the Ladies' Patronesses. This, in itsel., is sufficient to prove that those female autocrats are not proper judges of the eligibility of parties applying fur tickets to " a dance at the Old Ship." FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

No lover could have flown with more delight to set the portrait of die chosen of bis heart before a bosom friend, than did Canova, to bring us under his own roof, and show us the productions of his pencil. They were painted some fourteen years ago, when he was on a visit to Bassano, the place of his birth. But I must let him tell the tale of their origin in his own words. " I had nothing on earth to do," Canova observed, "and had a beautiful model before me; but I undetstood nothing of the use of the brush. I had frequently felt an inclination to make an attempt at it; but my friends of the limning at t, to whom I applied, in the hope that they would tell me how to break the ice, made as great a mystery of the thing as if I had called on them to expound la santissima Trinitate. So, losing all patience, I set to, and bought canvass, colours, pallet, and brushes ; and here you see what I did with them. And you may see, too, that I had not the remotest idea in w hat way I was to lay on the ground ; if, therefore, you do but look sharp enough, you will detect the thread of the canvass peeping through in all dirictions." With every mark of baste upon thew, the colouring of these pictures is as true and enchanting as any pencil of the 'present day has ever produced; and I am not solitary in the opinion, that Canova's pencil would have combined Titian's fidelity with all Correggio's grace, bad he not taken to the chisel. Graceful of form, inimit able in grouping, and delightfully varied in their attitudes, the lovely figures he has drawn, are, as if molten of the rose and lily, with here and there a go.samer touch of shading, but not a hair's breadth of outline, none but a poet die,ming rich and luxuriant visions, could have pen cilled such life, such innocence, and yet such fascination. The finest of all is a mother, herself unconsciously an earthly Venus, encircled by three lovely sisters, grouped as the Graces. There is an old man's head too, which you would pronounce a masterpiece from the Venetian school ; it has the flesh, and blood, and life of Nature's self. These paintings were in excellent preservation when I saw them ; and the years which had passed over them had but lent them increased effect and mellowness. Canova luved his brush dearly; and would hang over these, its erstlings, with a lover's enthusiasm. THE ARMY. (From tl,e Limerick Chronicle of Situiday.) The case for the prosecute m in Capt. Watlien's Court martial closed on Thursday, after the examination of Major Sir Walter Scott, whose evidence was decidedly the most interesting and important of any witness yet pro duced.—The Court has adjourned to Monday next, when Capt. Wathen will open his defence. Thursd,y a route was received for the 37th depot com.- •pa nies to leave this Garrison for Clare Castle, and accord ingly three romp 'tiles marched this morning for head goat tern, and Cwt. Costtey's company with Lieut. Morritt to Kilrush. The 60th Hifle companies from the New Barracks replace the 37th at the Castle Barracks, and Caot. Crombie's company, 60th Riles, with Lieut. Buckner, return to this garrison from Clare Castle. The second and last division of the 85th regiment will march into the New Barracks on Monday next from Dutdin. There has been a more tha❑ ordinary mortality in the 85th regiment, since their arrival in garri. , on, caused, no doubt, by the fatigue and hardship of a I,,ng and distressing march in most severe weather. Ttie long-expeeted Marquis of Handy and Orestes transports, with the depot of the 95th regiment, have at leng h arrived at Cork ; the Romney and Athol troop s h i ps, with a large fleet of merchant vessels, were beating into the harbour yesterday. Tie paragraph relating to the reduction of the Militia Stag'•, only applies to the Irish M litia, as orders have been received by the adjutants of English Militia, from the Army Pay-office, to forward estimates for the five ensuing quarters ; a proof that the Administration have no imme diate intention to reduce this national force still lower than at pre•ent. During the past year the half-pay list of the Royal Ma rine Corps has been decreased by the death of three Major Generals, ten Ciptains, four First Lieutenants, and three Second Lieutenants. Three Captains and three Lieuten ants have been added to to the list. The saving to the public by the decease of these officers is 2,8451. ; the Major General having had 305., the Captains 75., First Lieu tenants 4s. 6d. per day, and the Second Lieutenants, 541. per annum. Some time ago a merchant in town received an order from a customer in the island of Arren, fur a variety of goods, amounting to some pounds—but as a certain number of figures stood opposite his name in the inner column of the merchant's ledger, without a corres ponding entry in the outer, or paid column, the order was not fulfilled with that promptitude which the High landrnan expected, and was accustomed to on former occa sions. No further communication was received from him till a letter, of which we subjoin a copy, was banded to our friend the merchant by the letter-carrier : .6 To Maister --, merchant, Ayr,—Sir, i rott yu 2 moots ago since fur diffterent artikls guds wich i spechifyd w i c h you nott hay fordard.

The city has long had the reputation of knowing the way in which money may be best disposed of. Sir John Hawkins repeats a story told him by a sagacious and experienced citizen, Mr. Selwyn, who h&d bcen a candidate for the office of Chamberlain, and wised it only by seven votes out of near seven thou and. "He was once requested by a man under sentence of death in New-gate to come and see him in his cell, and in pure hu manity he paid him a visit. The man briefly ►nforrned him that he had been tried and convicted of felony, and was in daily expectation of the arrival of the warrant for his eistecution ; but,' said he, 1 have 2001., and you are a man of character, and had the Court interest when you stood for Chamberlain; I sh,uld, therefore, hope it is in your power to get me off. Mr. Selwyn was struck with so strange an application, and to account for it, asked if there were any alleviating circumstances in his case ; the raau peevishly answered—no ; but that be bad inquired into the history of the place where he was, and could not find that any one who bad two hun.. dred pounds was ever hanged. Mr. Selwyn told kica it was out of his power to help hire, and bade him fare added he, he did, fit he found means to escape punishment.! "—Mornirly Chronicle, AMERICAN PAPERS.

" Resolved also, that the Secretary be directed to communicate to the Senate a copy of , he corre.p ndence between the agent appointed during the last summer, to inquire upon what terms the State Banks would under. take to perform the services to the Government which had been performed by the Bank of the United Stites and the said banks ; a copy of the report made, if one were made, by the said agent to the Secretary, or the Executive; the name of the agent, his compensation, and in virtue of what law he was appointed.'

" BANK OF THE UNITED STATES —Mr. Money, pre sented a memorial from the President and Directors of the Bank of the United States, asking redress for the violation of their charter by the removal of the public deposits. He did not desire any action upon it now, but would move that it should he laid on the table and printed. " Mr. Polk moved that the memorial should be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means, and demanded that the questi-n should be taken by yeas and nays, which were ordered —yeas, 9l ; nays not Counted. " Mr. WatmouOt rose to address the house, but tha Speaker informed him it was not in order to debate a 'nor on t s lay on the tahle. " Mr. Rik c4lled for a division on the question. "Mr. Binney asked for the reading of the memorial, which was as fullows "'TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES. " The Board of Directors of the Bank of the United States respectfully represent— a . " That by the charter of the Bank it was stipulated fetween the Congress of the United States and the stockholders of the Bank of the United States, that in con sideration of a full equivalent rendered by them, in money and servic,s, they wete entitled to the custody of the public moneys, which were not to be withdrawn from it unless for the reasons of the suffich ncy of which Congress, and Congress alone, was the final judge.

"'Nevertheless, since the adjournment of Congress the Secretary of the Treasury has issued an order on the 26th of September last, withdrawing from the puss-ssion of the Bank the custom bonds deposited therein, and has *uh,e quendy transferred to certain State Banks a large portion of the public moneys then in the safe keeping of the B ,vith the purpose or making th e m h erea f ter the permanent depositories of the public I evenue.

" The question on that part of the motion—to lay it on the table—was pu t, and decided in the negative, as follows : " Yeas, S 4 ; nays, 126. " The memorial was then ordered to be printed. " Mr. Chilton moved to amend Mr Polk's r:totion by instructing the Committee of Ways and 111e.:,ns, in sub stance, to report a joint resolution, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to'restore the public deposits to tte Bank of the United States. " LJIr. Chilton addressed the House at length in support of the amendment, and went into the general subject of th e Bank : but having concluded with a request to tile reporters, that, although they might, if they thought proper, present their own views, they should abstain from giving his remarks until further directions from him ; and :is it wiil be seen from the subsequent proceedings that the amendment was withdrawn by Mr. Chilton, the reporter feels pleasure in acceding to his wishes.l The yeas and nays having beeu ordered on the calf of Mr. Chilton, and the question on his amendment stated— " Mr. M'Duffie requested the gentleman from Kentucky to withdraw his proposition, as it seemed to forestall the other proceedings, which were then undispased of, and aliout to come up for discussion. " Mr. Chilton consented to withdraw his amendment ; and the memorial was then referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. " Mr. Ewing submitted the following resolution:— " r Resolved,—That the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to inquire into the expediency of authorizing a national currency of 35,000,000 dollars, to be founded upon the faith of the United States, and be unconnected with and independent of all direct executive control, except as may be required for the no mination of directors; said currency to be struck, per feee,l, and issued, in a department of the Mint of the United States, under regulations to secure an im partial distribution thereof among the several states respectively, according to representative population, if the same be required, in virtue of the plighted faith anti sources of each state so requiring, to the United States fo, its redemption, ao.:ortling to the legal stipulations on i's f ice, and the payment of such bonus to the Treasury of the United Sates to defray expenses, and to guarantee ulterior responsibility, as may be prescribed ; and said currency, so authorized, and loaned according to the prescribed ratio, to states r quiring its use, when loaned to the people th=ough state instrumentality, shall be received in payment of public lands and in payment of all other revenue, accruing to the G: neral Government, and shall lie obligato►y upon the state issuing the sumo to redeem on demand at her office of discounts and deposits, which said state office, when established, under state guarantee, to loan and to redeem said currency, shall be the place of deposit of all public money collected or belonging to the General Government within the limits of the state where it exis.ed ; also, to inquire into the comparative expediency of es Wishing a National Bank, based upon a specie capital, to be furnished by the several states, as sole stockholders thereof, on a scale proportionate to the repre sentative population of each, with a branch in each state, the institution to be regulated in accordance with uniform gen ral rules, adopted by Congress node a directory of state appointment, and each state to enjoy the benefit of a capital, and exercise a power in accordance wiib her vested interest therein ; said Committee to report by bill or otherwise.' 4 ' Mr. Ewing said this was a momentous qaostion. This union was dependent on no corporations. This House had the power of creating a sound currency for t he country, if the local currency should become disordered. He count show that the institution which he proposed would produce a safer and more uniform currency 'ban we now had It would also enrich the states, and promote those improvements an which the prosperity of the coun try depends.
