At the Court at St. James's, the 17th day of September 1834, PRESENT, The King's most Excellent Majesty in Council. It is this day ordered by his Majesty in Council, that the Parlia ment, which stands prorogued to Thursday the twenty-fifth day of September instant, be further prorogued to Thursday the twenty third day of October next. • WHITEHALL, SEPT. 16, 1834. The King has been pleased to nominate and appoint the Right Honourable Gilbert Earl of Minto, his Majesty's Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of Prussia, to be a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner BowEN.) Thomas Annett, a countryman of rather portly appearance, was brought up upon his petition to be discharged. The dis charge of the insolvent was opposed by Mr. Chadwick Jones on behalf of the insolvent's nephew, Mr. James Annett. From the statements of the insolvent, on his examination by Mr. Jones, it appeared that he had formerly rented pre mises from his grandmother, Mrs. Ann Annett, upon whose death Mr. James Annett, the opposing creditor, became en titled to the property. The insolvent laid claim to the pro perty, refused to pay any rent, and in consequence an action of ejectment was brought against him by the opposing credi tor, which he defended and lost, putting the opposing creditor to an enormous expense, the insolvent being unable to pay the costs, which amounted to 771. The proceedings in the action having been put in, the Learned Counsel for the opposing creditor submitted that the insolvent's conduct had been vexatious in the highest degree, and that, therefore, he was not entitled to his discharge. Mr. COMMISSIONER BOWEN observed that the Act of Par liament had several defects ; by it he was not empowered to remand the prisoner for putting in a vexatious defence to an action of ejectment ; he had no doubt many actions of that nature had been vexatiously defended, and in his opinion in that respect the Act ,was extremely defective. Many cases of that description, weighing most heavily on the parties, had occurred on Circuit. Mr. NiduoLLs stated that the conduct of parties who re tained possession of premises paying no rent, upon the pleas of having a title to the property, was most reprehensible, and ought to be visited with great severity. The Insolvent was ordered to be discharged. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, SEPT. 19.—Vind N.E., light airs.

ABERYSTWYTH, SEPT. 17.—Notwithstanding that this watering place has during the-season been full to an over flow, provisions of all descriptions have continued remarkably cheap; you may get a fine goose for 25., fowls Is. 6cl. per couple, eggs 36 for Is., fresh butter 10d. per lb., fine Welsh mutton 30. and 4d. per lb., and every other consumable article proportionably cheap. ROME, SEPT. 4.—Rome is all in a bustle this morning, Don Miguel and his suite having just now arrived at Martignoni's Hotel. We have had a grand fete here—last Sunday the Pope, having publicly beatified Padre Sebastiano Valfrze, of the Order of the Oratory of Torino. St. Peter's was splendidly illuminated, and at night there was a fine dis play of fireworks. The church of St-. Chiesa Nova was splen didly lighted up with, coloured lamps. A fire-balloon, of great size, was despatched at ten o'clock P. M., so contrived as to drop fireworks all the way it went. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, SEPT. 18.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria arc still enjoying the delightful excursions in the neighbourhood of Tunbridge Wells, which afford such a variety of agreeable entertainment. On Wednesday last their Royal Highnesses, attended by Sir John Conroy and the Royal suite, paid a visit to Mr. Turner's paper-manufactory at Chafford. On their arrival they were received by Mr. Turner, Captain Cooper, and Mr. Madden, M. C. On their departure a very fine spe cimen of the hop was presented by a gentlemen to her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, with the request that she would accept it as the produce of a Kentish hop-garden. LYME-REGIS, Sept. 18.--The Corporation have contracted for the erection of a wall to form a cart-road to the harbour at all times of the tide. This is one of the improve ments proposed at a public meeting, when Mr. Pinney, M. P., for the borough, was present, and subscribed 5001. towards the object. Our worthy vicar has been appointed Rural Dean of this district, and has visited the several parish churches within it. Our delightful little town has again its summer ap pearance. The Assembly Rooms and Promenade are crowded with beauty and fashion, and invalids who come here for their healths soon forget their complaints. Our pleasure-boats arc all employed; amateur fishermen are to be seen in crowds. Our land sportsmen are gone a little into the interior for the partridges, which are plentiful within a few miles of Lyme. DONTEn, Sept. 18.—This town and neighbourhood were visited last night by one of the most awful storms of thun der and lightning within the recollection of the oldest inhabi tant. One clap of thunder at its commencement resembled the bursting of heavy cannon, and the rolling afterwards con tinued for several seconds. The flash of lightning that prece ded this peal of thunder set fire to the barn of Mr. Neal of Up down between this town and Sandwich, and the flames spread ing consumed two corn-stacks and some stabling. The storm commenced about six, and the thunder and lightning were in cessant till eleven, the rain, which is much wanted here com ing down in torrents the whole time. It was confidently ex pected that something would be done with the wreck of the Cameleon to-day, but another disappointment has been the re sult. Three more bodies have been washed from the wreck and floated down to Sandgatc. The Mayor and Chamber of Exeter on• Wednesday last voted the freedom of the city to the Right Hon. the Earl of Eldon.—Sherborne Mercury. Mr. Thomas Henry Hope laves town for Paris in a few days. He arrived in Hope House, in Duchess-street, early in the week from Gloucester. His Majesty's harriers, accompanied by a very nu merous field of sportsmen, threw off on Thursday at Old Windsor, and had a very excellent run. THE ROYAL LODGE.—lnstructions have been given to offer for sale the remaining standing part of the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, the once favourite retreat of his late Majesty George IV. A person dressed in a naval uniform was last week found lying in the road within 200 yards of the turnpike-gate at Poole. It appeared that the poor fellow had fallen down in a fit, and that some heartless ruffian bad taken advantage of his helpless state to rifle his pockets, or, in naval language, to make off with what little shot there was in his locker. Yesterday morning a Deputation of. the Common Council waited upon the Lord Mayor to beg he would appoint an early clay for the consideration and discussion of certain re forms to be proposed in their body, among others that of mak ing the situation of Alderman 'annually elective, instead of for life, when his Lordship begged leave to take time for its consideration. FRANCE, SOCIAL, LITERARY AND POLITICAL. —We are requested to state that this work, by Henry L. Bulwer, Esq., M. P., in 2 vols., post Bvo., is published this day by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street, and may be had of all respectable Booksellers, and at all the principal Circu lating Libraries in Great Britain. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh; for Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin. Mademoiselle Duchesnois, the celebrated tragic ac tress of the Paris theatres, finds her means now reduced to the small pension allowed her by the Theatre Francais. A pension had been granted to her by Napoleon, which was re gularly paid by the Bourbons, but it has been stopped since the revolution of July. Mademoiselle Duchesnois has retired for some time from the stage, on account of bad health, and has been labouring under a long and painful illness.—Journal des Debats. A Correspondent says that a star of the first mag nitude as a comic actor has appeared at Aberystwyth Theatre, in the person of Mr. Vincent, who adds to a correct delinea tion of the part cut out for him, such a fund of broad and ir resistible humour, as is wont to set the house in a roar. His voice and gesture very much resemble those of the late Mr. Munden, although Mr. Vincent evidently is by no means a copyist : he is certainly a young man of considerable talent, and will no doubt ere long become a great acquisition to one of the great metropolitans. Mr. Donaldson, of Broughton Hall, a gentleman long connected with the Edinburgh Advertiser, has left pro perty to the amount of 220,0001., the whole of which he has destined to be employed in the foundation of an hospital for orphan and destitute children, to be erected in the neighbour hood of Edinburgh. Five gentlemen have been appointed to carry this bequest into execution ; but owing to the uncertain terms of the will it may be necessary to procure an Act of Par liament before any decisive steps can be taken. Annuities to the extent of only ten or twelve thousand pounds, to the rela tions of the deceased, are the only exceptions to this splendid foundation, and these fall, of course, with the lives of the res pective annuitants. Captain Medwin, the intimate friend of Lord Byron, has seen much and heard more, amidst the stirring society in which his lot has been cast. His new production, called " The Angler in Wales," is a most amusing work—half fic tion, half reality, on trout-fishing and tiger-hunting, Wales and India, Walton and Lord Byron. Our gallant Captain is one of those pleasant companions who rattle away on all topics ; and he is, strange to say, uniformly entertaining. These volumes are supposed to be the journal of an angler, who, with a certain Mr. Julian, and a friend of the name of Charters, sets out on a fishing excursion through Wales. Many and learned are their disquisitions on the best mode of catching trout--fly-fishing against trolling, moths against sal mon-paste. It is impossible, indeed, to convey to the reader an adequate idea of the infinite variety presented in these pages. The numerous beautiful illustrations, let us add, heighten their attraction. _ _ James Johnstone IVl‘Cleverty, who has been dis missed his Majesty's service by the sentence of a Court Mar tial for not keeping a proper look out when officer of the watch on board his Majesty's ship Castor, is the youngest son of Colonel M'Cleverty, of the Marines, who has actually served upwards of fifty-six years. His grandfather circumnavigated the globe with Commodore afterwards Lord Anson, in the Centurion of 50 guns, and died at Waterford in 1779.'• •He was for his merit promoted through the various ranks to that of Post Captain by his noble friend and patron. When he commanded the Gibraltar, and was employed in the Medi terranean, he was ordered to watch the French fleet then in harbour off Toulon. This service he performed with such zeal and activity, in circumstances of great difficulty, that it led to the destruction of M. de la Clue's squadron. MADElRA.—Accounts were yesterday received from Madeira, bearing date the Ist of September inclusive. The recent tonnage duties imposed upon vessels anchoring for sup plies was still the chief subject of interest there. The agent to Lloyd's, however, at that island states his belief that it could not have been contemplated by the Portuguese Govern ment that these imposts should have been enforced there, and that, in all probability, when the representations of the mer chants shall have reached Lisbon, they will be rescinded so far as the island of Madeira is concerned. In fact the tax or duty, or whatever it may be called, seems perfectly inexpli cable. The Lady Rallies Indiaman since the previous advices had arrived off Madeira, on her voyage to Bombay, and had received her supplies while under weigh, thereby escaping the charge of the duty. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, SEPT. 18.—We continue to have a good demand for cotton. This day's trans actions reach 3,900 bags, at very full prices, for American descriptions, and at an advance generally of id. and 4d. per lb on long stapled cotton. FURTHER RESPITE OF THE CONVICTS FOR Tile MURDER OF MR.

OXFORD, SEPT. 19.—0 n Sunday last the Lord Bishop of Bangor held a private ordination, when William Lloyd Wil liams, A. 8., of Jesus College, in this University, was admitted by his Lordship to Deacon's Orders. ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENTS. The Rev. John Carter, M. A., Fellow of St. John's Col lege, was lately appointed Incumbent of the N ew Ch urch opened at Frenchay, near Bristol. It has been incorrectly stated, in most of the London and provincial papers, that t h e Rev. " Joseph" Carter, 8.D., and late Fellow of St. John's, had been appointed to the above church. The Rev. Jasper Nicholls Harrison, M.A., Fellow of Wor cester College, in this University , has been instituted to the United Vicarage of Langharne and Rectory of Llansadwrnen Carmarthenshire, vice cession of the Rev. William Dunn Har rison, M. A., on the presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Winchester. The Bishop of St. David's has been pleased to license the / Rev. David Edwards, Curate of Spytty Cenfyn and Eglwys newydd, Cardiganshire, to the Perpetual Curacy of S pytty Cenfyn, on the nomination of the inhabitants of the ha m l et. The Rev. William Thomas Nicholls , Curate of Llanfihangel- Aberbythich, Carmarthenshire , has been licensed to th e Per petual Curacy of Llanfihangel-Aberbythich, to which h e was nominated by Earl Cawdor and Viscount Emlyn , of Golden Grove. The Rev. T. Snow, late Curate of Charmouth, Somerset, has been presented to the valuable Living of St. Dunstan's, Temple-bar. The Rev. James V. Vincent, of Gorddineg, has been ap pointed to the Living of Llanfairfechan, in Carnarvonshire, on the presentation of the Bishop of Bangor, vacant by the death of the Rev. Mr. Thomas. It is said that this living was held by Mr. Vincent's great-grandfather and grandfather. The Rev. A. Shepherd Birley, M.A., has been licensed to the Perpetual Curacy of All Saints, in Little Bolton, Bolton le-Moors, on the nomination of Thomas Tipping, Esq., of Davenport House, Cheshire. THE ARMY. Major-General Macdonnell, C. 8., has arrived at Belfast, for the purpose of superintending the formation of the service and depot companies of the 74th regiment, preparatory to the embarkation of the former for Barbadoes. The service com- . - panies of this regiment will shortly embark at Belfast for Dub lin, and there will await the arrival of tonnage for their convey ance to Barbadoes, which may be expected in the course of the present month. The 82d regiment, from Glasgow, will re place the 74th at Belfast.—Scottish Paper. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) The following is the present distribution of troops in the West Indies : —Jamaica, six regiments, viz., the Bth, 22d, 37th, 56th, 64th, and 84th ; Demerara, two, the 25th and 86th ; Tri nidad, two, the 19th and Ist West India; St. Lucia, Ist and 16th ; Bermuda, 30th and 71st ; Barbadoes, 65th ; Antigua, 36th ; Grenada, 67th ; St. Vincent, 69th ; and the 2d West India regiment in New Providence—making a total of nineteen battalions, and two additional regiments are under orders for the same station. Captain Elliott and Lieut. Servantes, with a detachment of the 37th regiment, are ordered from the depot at Clare Castle to join head-quarters at Jamaica. Thursday, Captain Robertson's company, with Lieut. Abbot, 96th regiment, and a detachment of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, marched from Bandon to Dunmanway to aid the the Sub- Sheriff in his official duties in the parish of Drinagh. The three battalions, whose embarkation for Gibraltar Was countermanded from the prevalence in that garrison of the cholera, are preparing to go on board the transports early in October. Lieutenant-General Sir Hudson Lowe, K. C. 8., Colonel of the 56th regiment, has arrived in Dublin. (From the Hibernian United Service Journal.) The 43d, are not going to the West Indies, but we believe will proceed to either Halifax or Canada early in the spring of 1835, to relieve the 79th, or Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade. It is not yet known whether the 81st. regiment will go to Athlone or be attached to Dublin garrison. The depot of the 47th will very likely go to Templemore, there being at pre sent only two depots in it—too small a force for the centre of the county of Tipperary. A weak man complains of others, an unfortunate man of himself ; but a wise man complains neither of others nor of himself.—Sir Henry Sidney. - - ENTERED OUTWARDS FOR LOADING, SEPT. 19.

Rich, wine -merchant, Joiners'-hall-tuildings, City 1 1 THE STANDARD NOVELS.—The public is in debted for this popular series of works of fiction, second only to the delightful novels of Sir Walter Scott in popularity, to the enterprize of Mr. Bentley. This collection of modern novels and romances (chiefly by living authors), of which forty-two volumes h av e been published, the whole of these being the copyrights of the publisher, includes the far-famed " Vathek," by Mr. Beckford, and " Eugene Aram," by Mr. Bulwer, besides th e com pl e t e works of Miss A u sten, and the principal productions of Cooper, Godwin, Mrs. Brunton, Ba nim, Grattan, Victor Hugo, Madame de Stael, Miss Porter, Mrs. Shelley, Schiller, M. G. Lewis, Horace Walpole, Galt, Brockden Brown, Hook, the Misses Lee, the Rev. G. R. Gleig, &c. The cheapness of this collection far surpasses any thing of the kind ever published, and places them within the reach of even the cottager. A real benefit has, indeed, been conferred on the community at large, by thus presenting them with so fertile a source of amusement and instruction. T AXES.—We have heard some impatient persons exclaiming that the reformed House of Commons has done nothing. We request all such grumblers to compare their tax notices of four years ago with that for the present year. A respectable tradesman assures us that his has been reduced from 56/. per annum to 16/. Is this doing nothing? Has reform, we ask confidently, brought forth no fruits ? Look at your tax papers ; and this is but a beginning. Some people say that, should there be an election, and a Tory candidate, they will go to the poll with the Tory and Reform tax papers side by side in their hats. A happy thought, which would be more effective than the longest speech.—Sherburne Journal. BANKRUPTCY COURT, SEPT. 19. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN THE MATTER OF FREDERICK CRANWELL WESTLEY. A meeting of the creditors of the above-named bankrupt, who had been a bookseller and newsvender, formerly carry ing on business in the Strand, took place this day, for the purpose of proving debts and appointing assignees. The first proof of interest tendered was for a sum of 2,4001., claimed to be due upoti promissory notes and a bond to Mr. Westley, sen., the father of the bankrupt. The COMMISSIONER inquired how the claimant could get rid of the difficulty placed in the way of his proof by the statute of limitation, the two promissory notes being dated in 1824 ? Mr. Westley said the interest upon these notes had been paid up to June last. COMMISSIONER—What proof is there of that ? Mr. Westley—My bill-book will show it. Mr. Wilkinson said he appeared on the part of Mr. Gumersell, bill-broker, of the firm of Gumersell and Glen dell, who was by far the heaviest creditor, and he wished to be allowed to prove in order that he might be in a con dition to examine the proofs before they were admitted. This was assented to by the Commissioner ; and after some little delay Mr. Wilkinson tendered the proofs of Messrs. Gumersall and Co. to the amount of 5,7761. ls. Bd. Mr. Lumley, the solicitor under the fiat, objected to the proof, on the ground that these bills had been drawn by Hindmarsh and Arthur, and accepted by Westley the bankrupt, on account of the True Sun newspaper ; and although Mr. Gumersall was aware of this, he never ten dered these bills to be proved at Arthur's bankruptcy. If these proofs were admitted, the estate of Westley would be saddled to the amount of this 5,0001., to the prejudice of the other creditors. The COMMISSIONER—You say that Mr. Westley never received any benefit from these bills ? Mr. Lumley— None whatever ; and the estates of Hindmarsh and Arthur will be quite sufficient to secure Mr. Gumersall. The Co rd MI ss Io NER—I don't think that objection of any value. Is Mr. Gumersall to be told that because he has the promise of Hindmarsh and Arthur, he shall not have the promise of Westley also ?—Mr. Lumley submitted that Mr. Gumersall should have made his application to prove under Arthur's estate, or have applied to Hindmarsh's executors. The COMMISSIONER said, whatever the estate of West ley paid to Mr. Gumersall on account of those bills, the assignees would be entitled to recover from the estate of Hindmarsh, in an account supposing Hindmarsh to be in debted to Westley, but he (Mr. Lumley) could not refuse Mr. Gumersall his right toprov,e under this fiat. Mr. Lumley said he had anoilier ground of opposition. Shortly before Mr. Westley's bankruptcy, he took a bill for 1001. to Mr. Gumersall, for the purpose of getting it dis counted. When Mr. Westley called for the money, ac cording to promise, Mr. Gumersall said, " No, I shall re tain it in respect of the amount due to me." That was prejudicing the other creditors to the amount of that 100/. The bill was subsequently paid, and Mr. Gumersall placed the amount to the credit of Mr. Westley's account. The COMMISSIONER—You have an action in trover against Mr. Gumersall for the amount of that bill. - Mr. Wilkinson said this transaction had taken place more than three months ago, and the balance due by Mr. Westley to Mr. Gumersall was so much the less. The COMMISSIONER-But the objection is, that you have contrived to get 1001. in full, instead of a dividend, to the prejudice of the other creditors. Mr. Wilkinson—The fact of its being a discount trans action is denied. Mr. Gumersall said .he had the bill from a third party, and he had never promised to discount it. Mr. Westley, the bankrupt, was then examined by the Commissioner, and stated that the bill had been sent by him to Mr. Gumersall, by a clerk of the True Sun office, who was going into the City. Mr. Gumersall said he had asked the clerk whose pro perty the bill was ; the clerk replied, it was Mr. Wcstley's ; Mr. G. then said he should keep it, as Mr. Westley owed him a large sum of money. The transaction happened three months ago. The CommlssioNEß said the question was one of very great nicety, and he did not see how he could decide it without further consideration. _ Mr. Lumley—That 1001. has been paid to Mr. Gumer sall to the prejudice of the other creditors. The COMMISSIONER—I don't think Mr. Gumersall had any right to retain that money. Mr. Gumersall—Mr. Westley directed the third party upon whom the bill was drawn to pay the money to me. Mr. Westley said he did not wish that the name of a third party should be introduced, and when he found that Mr. Gumersall would not give up the bill, he had written to that party requesting that the amount of the bill would be paid to Mr. G., which had been done. The COMMISSIONER entertained very great doubt as to whethes Mr. Gumersall was entitled, under all the circum stances, to keep that hundred pounds. Looking into the case, it appeared to him that it did not come within the pro tection of the doctrine of mutual credit. If the bill had been put into the hands of Mr. Gumersall as the agent of Mr. Westley, for the purpose of having it discounted, and if before the money was paid Mr. Westley had been de clared a bankrupt, then Mr. Gumersall would have been entitled to keep the money. But, if Mr. Westley sends the bill to be discounted, and that Mr. Gumersall received the bill with that understanding, he had no right then to retain it, as he had not received it in a proper way. Having re ceived it on the terms of discounting. he had no right then to keep it as his own property. He doubted much whether the property of the bill had ever passed to Mr. Gumersall, and he could not, therefore, admit the proof of Mr. G.'s debt until he was in a situation to dispose of the question respecting that bill. Mr. Wilkinson said the transaction, as he had already observed, had occurred three months ago, and no objection had been made to it up to the present time. Mr. Lumley—That does not bind the other creditors. The COMMISSIONER.—If I am of opinion that a creditor must do something for the benefit of an estate, the neglect of which would prejudice the other creditors, I must insist upon its being done. If a creditor seeks equity he must do equity. - Mr. Gumersall said when the bill had been brought to him he said he should not give it up. Mr. Westley subse quently came and told him that he (Mr. G.) might put it to the credit of his account, and Mr. W. actually wrote to a third party to pay him (Mr. G.) the amount. The COMMISSIONER.—That makes no difference if the bill was retained by you without his consent in the first instance. Mr. Westley.—l never sanctioned the act of Mr. Gu mersall. Mr. Wilkinson said they had a gentleman who was pre sent, and who would prove that Mr. Westley did consent to Mr. Gumersall retaining the bill. Mr. Arthur, the gentleman alluded to, was then sworn. Mr. Lumley wished to know, if Mr. Westley sanctioned the retention of the bill, would that bind the creditors ? The COMMISSIONER.-1 think it will. Mr. Arthur was then examined by Mr. Wilkinson.—He recollected the bill transaction alluded to ; it took place about three months ago. Mr. Gumersall and Mr. Westley were together, and an explanation took place in reference to the 100/. bill. Mr. Gumersall said he had a large claim upon Mr. Westley, and would deduct that amount from it. Mr. Westley admitted the propriety of his doing so. , COMMISSIONER.—Can you recollect what Mr. Westley said ? Mr. Arthur.—l can't recollect the precise words but the substance was that Mr. Westley said he might do so : Mr. Westley 'left the office, with the understanding that the amount should be deducted from his account. COMMISSIONER.—IIid he complain of its being a hard ship ? Mr. Arthur.—At first he did, but he afterwards consented that it should be put to his credit. Mr. Wilkinson.—Are you quite sure that he assented to its being put to his credit by Gumersall? Mr. Arthur.— Most certainly. COMMISSIONER.—Why should he assent after complain ing that it was a hardship ? Can you recollect any single word he said ? Mr. Arthur.—Not precisely. There was no difference about the amount of the accounts, or of the balance due to Mr. Gumersall. The COMMISSIONER.—Mr. Westley, did you assent to Mr. Gumersall placing the amount of that bill to the credit of your account ? Mr. Westley.—l never consented to it. I always complained of its being a hardship. Mr. Gumer sall said, " How can you think it a hardship, when I have a parcel of bills of yours overdue and unpaid ?" I deny that I ever assented ; but I gave orders to have it paid when I could not help it. The COMMISSIONER.—This matter must stand over. I cannot admit Mr. Gumersall's proof, because my present impression is that he had no right, in point of law, to deal with this bill as be has done ;—that it is the impression upon my mind at present ; but I would wish the matter to stand over for further consideration. Mr. Wilkinson.—Then, under these circumstances, I shall apply to adjourn the choice of assignees. The COMMISSIONER.—Perhaps you can agree now as to the choice of assignees. Mr. Wilkinson.—l fear not. I shall, - however, now state my objections to the claim of Mr. Westley, sen. In the first place, I contend that the two bills of exchange, one for 300). and the other for 350). are barred by the statute of limitations. The other sum of 1,800)., which is claimed in virtue of a bond drawn and endorsed by the father to the son, I decidly object to until I see a statement of the accounts between them. _ _ _ After some discussion between Mr. Lumley and Mr. Wilkinson, The Court decided that he should admit the proof for the 1,8001. bond, and exclude the proof of the two bills. Mr. Wilkinson said as that point had been decided, he would propose an adjournment to the choice of assignees. Mr. Lumley thought there was no necessity for such a itep, as the great bulk of the creditors were satisfied as td the choice they should come to. Mr. Wilkinson—The aggregate c'aims of all the cre ditors alluded to by Mr. Lumley do not amount to half the sum due Mr. Gumersall. The COMMISSIONER—I really cannot exclude Mr. Gu mersall's proof, and reject his application for an adjourn ment of the choice o assignees. (The Commissioner here handed a letter to the Soli citors and others interested in the bankruptcy, which he requested them to read.) The COMMISSIONER—It appears by this letter that it is very material that some person should be chosen at once, otherwise some other party may come in and sweep away the whole of the property. Mr. Wilkinson said the 623/. which the letter referred to, would ,be sufficiently secured by Hindmaash or Arthur. The COMMISSIONER said, that it appeared from that letter that Mr. Tarquand, the official assignee, was appre hensive that the property was likely to be swept away by another party. Mr. Lumley thought assignees should be appointed that day. The COMMISSIONER (to Mr. Gumersall)—Are you wil ling, to run the risk of delaying the appointment of assig nees ? Mr. Gumersall—My clerk will be here presently, and he will be able to satisfy you respecting the 100/. bill, and then my proof being admitted, we can proceed to the appointment of assignees. The CommissioNEn said that he would now admit Mr. Gumersall's proof on his giving an undertaking to pay over the 100/. to the assigness of Westley, provided his (the Commissioner's) decision should be against the right of Mr G. to retain it. Mr. Gumersall said he had no objection to give an u.)- dertaking to that effect, which was immediately drawn u by his solicitor, and signed by Mr. Gumersall. Mr. Wilkinson then proposed Mr. Gumersall and Mc. Kerr as assignees. _ _ _ Mr. Lumley objected to Mr. Kerr, as he was assignee under the estate of Arthur, whose interests were quite op posed to those of Mr. Westley. The objection was overruled by the COMMISSIONER. Mr. Lumley then named Mr. George Berger as the third assignee, to which no objection was offered. The COURT was extremely crowded during the whole of the investigation, which appeared to excite much interest. REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT. BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. The Barristers resumed their sittings at White Conduit House yesterday morning, at. ten o'clock. ST. JAMES'S, CLERKENWELL. Mr. Mason, an inhabitant of the parish, claimed to be inserted in the list of voters, and in proof of his qualifica tion produced his receipt for the King's taxes ; the receipt was dated on the 20th of July, which was the last day for payment to become entitled to the qualification, and that day was Sunday. The collector stated, in answer to questions put by Mr- Chapman, the barrister, that the claimant came to his house on Sunday, the 20th of July, and tendered to him the King's taxes ; he, however, refused then to receive the money, not feeling himself justified in accpting it on that day. The taxes were paid on the next day, and he (the collector), having left town on the Sunday, left the receipt dated on that day, which was given to the claimant when he paid the tcxes. Mr. CHAPMAN said the tender made on Sunday was not strictly legal, but as it was his wish to construe the Act liberally he should admit the claim. The whole of the King's tax-collectors in the parish of St. James,' Clerkenwell, had been omitted by the over seer from the list of voters, on the ground that he believed them to be disqualified in consequence of holding the office collector. yv. Thomas Garner, one of the collectors, in answer to Mr. Chapman's questions, said that he was appointed under a local Act of Parliament, and that it was compulsory upon him to serve office, or incur a penalty of 1001. Foster, another collector, said the appointment was quite distinct from Government, and in proof of which he said that on one occasion, when he made a levy, a complaint was made to the authorities at Somerset House, who re ferred the complainants back to the Local Board, and said they had no authority over the collector. Mr. Chapman allowed the claims of the collectors to be placed upon the list of voters, observing that Government never contemplated disqualifying persons holding office, which office was compulsorily imposed upon them. ELY-PLACE LIBERTY. In consequence of a question now depending whether Ely-place was or was not extra-parochial, it was agreed to receive the names of the voters in every section with Hat ton-garden and Saffron-hill, without prejudice to the ques tion at issue. Mr. James stated, in reply to Mr. Sandy s, that Ely-place became extra-parochial in consequence of having been sold by the Crown. He added, that a trial took place in 1781, before Lord Mansfield, when the extra-parochiality was clearly established. A voter in Saffron-hill claimed the qualification for a yard which he occupied. Mr. SANDYS said the yard was not a qualification ; but as there was a counting-house in the yard, his name was on that account placed on the list. Mr. Reid, the brewer, attended for the purpose of having the names of himself and partners corrected in the lists, which was done. ST. ANDREW, HOLBORN. A matter of some little difficulty occurred respecting this parish. It appeared that after the original list of per sons entitled to vote had been prepared a copy was sent to the printer for several impressions to be made, when it was discovered that the names of several persons had been omitted, which were supplied in the printer's proof, and the amended printed copy was hung up at the church door. The Act of Parliament, however, requiring that the Bar rister should receive only the original list which was pre pared and signed by the overseers, Mr. S andysat first con ceived that he would not be justified in altering that list. The Learned Gentleman, however, referred to a case de cided in a Committee of the House of Commons, which furnished a precedent in favour of altering the list. The list was altered accordingly. ST. GILES-IN-THE-FIELDS. One of the claimants for the privilege of voting was a person named Grant., who gave the following notice of his claim : John Grant, of 65, New Compton-street, claims to have his name inserted in the list of borough voters for this year, the poor and King's taxes having been paid previous to the 21st July, 1834." The Vestry Clerk considered that the notice should not be received, on the ground of informality. Mr. Sandys referred to a decision before the Committee of the House of Commons in the case of New Sarum, where a notice was held to be good, although it omitted the local description of some premises, and therefore held the notice in the present case to be legal. The King's tax-collectors of St. Giles's parish having ne glected to attend, which occasioned the postponement of some cases, Mr. Sandys said he had the power to require their attendance, and issued summonses directed to them. THE FOREIGN EXCHANGES.—In consequence of the extensive entries which have been made for the exportation of the precious metals, the state of the Foreign Exchanges was watched with interest yesterday afternoon. There was an abundance of bills, .and the rates on all the principal cities of the Continent were on the advance. The total exports of bullion, as officially declared up to Thursday last, amounted to 218,500 ounces of silver, and 1,134 ounces of gold coin. Since that day, however, very extensive entries have been made for the exportation of the precious metals, and up to last night the quantities announced at the Custom-house for ship ment were 85,000 ounces of gold coin, and 750,000 ounces of gold and silver coin and bars. The principal portion announced for shipment is for Portugal. The exportation of bullion to the United States has almost entirely ceased. The Foreign Exchanges have improved generally since last post day. The rate on Hamburg has advanced to 13 111 ; on Amsterdam, from 12 5 to 12 51; on Rotterdam, from 11 5 to 12 5i ; on Paris, from 25 65 and 25 70 to 25 72i; on Lisbon, from 571 58 to 58k (metallic); and on Oporto, from 58 to 59. Gel continues at 3/. 17s. 9d. per ounce in foreign bare; and new silver dollars at 4s. 101 d. per ounce. - - DEW.—AII bodies have the property of trans ferring heat to others in their neighbourhood. This is called radiation of heat, and by this property all bodies arc endea vouring to maintain an equilibrium of temperature. Dif ferent bodies—according to their composition--the nature of their surface, and colour—have different radiating powers. Grass, wood, leaves of plants, and filamentous substances, generally radiate heat much more quickly than smooth stones, polished metal, &c. ; consequently, when the direct influence of the sun is removed in the evening, and the earth ceases to receive heat, and from the ceaseless activity of heat to require an equilibrium, these s ubstances g iv o e w o e u r t l th a e n i d r superfluous heat to the surrounding space, and the former sub stances, from their more perfect and diating p soon acquire a temperature much lower than that of the surrounding atmosphere, and by this cold the watery vapour of the atmosphere in the immediate neighbourhood is fiosrmnoedt f o o n .rm cl o o d u , dles s and se.. condensedrene nights; into cloudsd ew. existD e because the heat is intercepted by them, and there is clouds interchange estab lished ; the heat transmitted from the to the earth is equal to that radiated from the latter to the former.
