Lieut.-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot had an in terview with Sir Jam es Graham, at the Home-office, this morning. • Sir Henry 1-12,rdinge had a long interview with Sir James Graham this morning at the Home -office. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Several short causes and unopposed petitions were disposed of in the early part of the morning, after which was resumed the part-heard cause of THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LORD CARRINGTON. This was an ex-officio information, which prayed for a declaration that the lands of the defendants at Humberstone, in Lincolnshire, were chargeable under the will of Mathew Humberstone, bearing date March 14th, 1708, with the payment of two annuities of 41. and of 401. respectively, to the curate or minister for the time being of Htisnberstone, upon the per formance by him of the services, as by the will di rected, of preaching every Sunday a sermon in the morning and another in the evening, and reading divine service, and also during the week days of teaching the boys of llumberstone the English and Latin languages, writing, arithmetic, the casting of accounts, &c. In the year 1792 the estate was pur chased by the late Lord Carrington, subject to those annuities, and it was contended, therefore, that the property was still liable to the charge. This view of the case was supported by Mr. Pem berton and Mr. Blunt for the Crown; Mr. Cooper and Mr. Lovett on behalf of the vicar and master, Mr. Gedge. It was opposed by Mr. Teed and Mr. Oliver, who appeared for the trustees of the will of the late Lord Carrington, and by Mr. Gre6n, who ap peared for the present Lord Carrington. The arguments were brought to a close to-day, and Lord Langdale delivered his judgment. His LORDSHIP said the late Lord Carrington had purchased the property in question, liable, under the will of the testator, Mathew Humberstone, to the annuities mentioned in the pleadings, and which were made payable to the schoolmaster of the place for the time being. One thing was clear—namely, that the testator had intended that the curate and schoolmaster should be one and the same person, and. the annuities were annuities not to the curacy, but to the school. The construction of the will was not now a question raised with the Court. Shortly after the death of the testator the cause came before the Court, and in the year 1755 a decree had been made establishing that the annuity of 401. was on a footing different from that of the 41. annuity which had been devised in a part of the will subsequent to that refer ring to the 401. annuity. This latter annuity was to continue to be paid till a sufficient cause for its sub traction had arisen, and on the person bound to pay it, there rested an obligation to show the Court that there were good grounds for subtracting that annuity. The decree thus made had been confirmed by a subsequent; decree. Afterwards a recovery was suffered, and the entire ownership was parted with subject to all the eharges on the estate and this charge among the rest. At the time the pro perty was sold it was supposed that the portion of it charged under the will was not liable till the sale of another estate, mentioned in the pleadings, had been effected. The conveyance re cited the will, and he must say, as to the words " during pleasure," that he very much doubted if any one could say that the testator left that pro vision at the caprice or will of the casual owner of the estate. The testator had willed the property upon trust expressly for the payment of those annuities. It had been said that Lord Carrington had been taken by surprise. That might be the case. But he (Lord Langdale) would not on that account withhold the annuity with which the property had been for ever charged. a TIIE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. DEDIIAM SCHOOL. In this cause, which had been already discussed at considerable length before the Court, Lord LANGDALE decreed a reference to the Master, to inquire and re port if the trustees of the estate had died, who was the survivor, or who was the heir or devisee of the survivor, or in whom the legal estate vested. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at the Guildhall, in the City of London, before Lord DBNMAN and a London Common Jury.) RICHES V. TWEETTMAN. The plaintiff in this case is a builder, and the de fendant a gentleman residing in Avenue-road, Re gent's-park. The action was brought to recover 401. Bs. 6d., alleged to be due from defendant, for preparing estimates for the building of a house. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Humfrey conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Thomas for the defendant. It was admitted that Riches had prepared the estimate ; but, on the part of the defendant, it was contended that Riches was given distinctly to under stand that the estimate was to be prepared gratuit ously, as the building was to be competed for, so as to give defendant the opportunity of accepting which contract he might think proper. This was denied by plaintiff, who contended that he had been expressly employed by Mr. Twentyman to prepare the estimate, without any reference to any competition for the contract. The work had been done in 1840, but no demand had been made, nor had the present action been brought, until May 1842. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) , SMITH V. GORDONS.—F_IL SE I MP RISONMENT . The Court was occupied the whole of the morning with this case, which in its general bearing is of an unusual and somewhat important character. It was conducted for the plaintiff by Mr. Sergeant Tal fourd ; and Sir T. Wilde appeared for the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff, in 1833, was captain of an East India trader, the Frances Charlotte, and in that year received from the defendants a letter of credit for 1001. upon their agent at Ilobart Town, Van Dieman's Land. On touching at that port, the credit was duly honoured by the agent, Mr. M`Laughlin, who on payment of the 1001. received from plaintiff a bill of exchange drawn upon a merchant in London, named Kane, his owner, on whose behalf the letter of credit was given for the necessary disbursements of the ship at Van Dieman's Land. This bill of ex change was to be remitted to Messrs. Gordon, and in such cases it was the practice of Mr. M'Laughlin to have the bill drawn in three parts or duplicates, en dorsing each of them ; and to remit one by the first ship, another by a second, and to retain the third. On this occasion the first part was put on board the ship Rifleman, which is supposed to have been lost on the passage, not having been heard of since 1838. The defendants having informed their agent in the colony that the bill had not been received, he remitted the second part, which, however, he had forgotten to endorse ; but this did not reach England until 1835. "When the defendants sent the bill to the house of Kane for acceptance he could not be met with ; and, after considerable delay, the defendants took out a writ against Captain Smith, and arrested him on board his ship at Sheerness, in his cabin, at eight o'clock of the morning on which his vessel was to sail with convicts to Van Dieman's Land. Smith, who was well known at Sheerness, where he possessed pro perty, paid the amount of the alleged debt and costs into the hands of the Sheriff, and the case proceeded to trial, when the def en dants failed to establish their claim as against him. The present action was ac cordingly brought f or th a t arres t, as un f oun d e d and malicious,plaantiffpou nthe fact,considerable that thestress d be f i e n n g dan lai ts dby the the arrest u n til t h e ra ornin a g ve when en he was about t postponed o sail ;mNovihitehrseasbeftohreey incouLlndnhdon aato arrested ndthhe him any and for d, time of the arrest were calculated aunvedreyr bad effect upon his officers an d the convictsve his care upon the ensuing voyage. The defence now was that th e ground of action against Captain Smith was real and bona fide, and that the defendants had waited to th e last moment in the hopes of obtaining their money without harsh measures. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that, although th e defendants had not made out their claim in the action against the plaintiff; yet that did not show that they had not such reasonable ground as would justify them in the steps they had taken. But he thought that, as the bill had not been duly presented or accepted, they had not such reasonable ground; and it would, there fore, be for the Jury to consider whether they were actuated by malicious motives, and what compensa tion the plaintiff was fairly entitled to. The Jury then retired to consider their verdict, and, after some deliberation, found for the plaintiff—Da mages, One Farthing. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The contemporaneous occurrence of dis putes of discipline in the Church of England, and in the Scottish Kirk, and the simultaneous sort of appeal which both seem making, or about making, to the Legislature—to improve either their jurisdiction, or their means of enforcing it within its own pale— afford occasion to examine the principles on which the Legislature should proceed in such matters. The first observation which strikes us, is that the high claims of each Church exclude each other; and that, if the Legislature listens to the one, it must spurn the other. For the high Church champions of each of these Establishments assert a title supe rior to all secular authority, and above all control by it. According to these, the Church does not depend on the State, but the State on the Church ; the obedience of the members of the latter is due, in th e fi rs t p l ace, to i tself; an d on l y second arily to the Government, provided its corn mands coincide with Church laws. Now we do not mean . to cast any d er i s i on on this pretens i on. i n a certain sense, we consider it well founded. The fact that a man belongs to a Church involves the conse quence that he holds its precepts " wisest, virtuous est, discreetest, best," and follows its spiritual guidance. If a Government, therefore, should ordain anything directly opposed to that guidance, passive obedience is the utmost that a Churchman (really p ersua d e d o f his Church's precepts, which, however, Ch urc h autho rities should remember their flocks seldom are on all points) —passive obedience, w e say, i s th e utmost a de voted Churchman could give such a Government, THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) ADMIRALTY, DEC. 12. The following missing dispatch, from Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, has now been received : Cornwallis, at Chapoo, May 23, 1842. Sir,—My letter of the 11th instant, No. 84, will have apprised the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty of the evacuation of the city of Ningpo on the 7th, and that the troops were embarked in the transports off the island of Just-in-the-Way, with the intention of com mencing the prospective operations of. the combined forces by an attack on Chapoo, where it was : scertained that a large Chinese force; mid a considerable store of arms and provisions, had been for some weeks collecting. The fleet reached an anchorage between the Sesham and Fog islands on the evening of the 13th of May ; but the unfavourable state of the weather, and the velocity of the tides during the springs within the entrance of Hang choo-foo bay, did not admit of any further movement until the 16th, when a very satisfactory reconnoissance was made of the defences of Chapoo in tha Phlegetlion and Nemesis steam-vessels; and on the following after noon the ships of war, named in the margin,* and the transports were all anchored in Chapoo bay, in con venient positions for the disembarkation of the troops, which commenced at daylight on the 18th, in a sandy bay, within two miles of the city, and at the eastern termination of a range of heights which flanked the field works and strong , positions held by the Chinese outside it. Commanders ellett and Collinson, who have been indefatigable in surveying every part we have had to navigate, succeeded during the night in thoroughly sounding between the anchorage of the ships and the shore, which enabled the Cornwallis, Blonde, and Mo deste, while the troops were landing, to take up excellent positions against the sea batteries, consisting of two works mounting seven and five guns, about one third of the way up a steep hill at the eastern extremity of the suburbs, and crowned with a joss house, occupied by a large body of men, and three other masked batteries, mounting thirty guns, in front of the suburbs, making a total of forty two guns of different calibre ; the whole were thronged with Chinese soldiers, who also lined their defences on the heights to a considerable extent with matchlockmen and numerous gingalls. Against these field-works the Sesostris was anchored for the purpose of dispersing them with shells, as our troops advanced ; and the inhabitants of the suburbs and city were duly warned to retire out of the line of our fire By the exertions of the Nemesis, Phlegethon, and Queen steamers, and the boats of the covering vessels, Starling, Columbino, Bentinck, and Algeriue, togetheJ witl; those of the transports , conducted by Lieutenant Somerville, the troops were all put on shore in admirable order, under the able direction of Commander Charles Richards, of the Cornwallis, by nine o'clock, when ,the General, with his aceustomed energy, immediately pushed forward at their head ; the ships, by a pre concerted signal, opened their fire at the same time on the batteries. A few shot, however, put the men stationed in them, and at the joss house on the summit of the hill opposite to us, to a precipitate flight, and not a moment was lost in landing the seamen and marines of the squadron under Captain Bourchier, of the Blonde, and the officers named in the accompanying list, who got possession of the batteries before the mines, which were prepared in them, could be sprung ; and, having succeeded in cutting off several of tee Chinese troops that were endeavouring to reach the suburbs, joined our land forces in their approach to the city. By the General's rapid advance, in Iwo columns, they had already gallantly carrled 01 the positions on the heights, and, the retreating parties being intercepted in every direction, the Chinese suffered very severely ; but a body of several hundred Tartar troops, having thrown themselves into a large joss house between the heights and the city, resisted with such desperation that they were not subdued until the buildings fell in ruins over them, and not more than fifty men were brought out alive ; nor was this, I regret to add, effected without considerable loss to the combined forces, who have to lament the Gallant Lieutenant-Colonel Tomlinson, of the 18th Royal Irish, and several men killed ; and Lieutenant- Colonel Mountain (the Deputy-Adjntant General) and many other brave officers and men severely wounded. The loss of the Chinese cannot be accurately ascer tained, but from various accounts their force was not less than from eight to ten thousand men, of whom one fourth are supposed to have been Tartar troops, many hundreds have been slain or wounded, and several officers and men made prisoners ; the latter will, how ever, he released before our departure. _ It is with sincere pleasure that I have again to bring under their Lordships' notice the spirited and valuable services of Captains Bourchier and P. Richards, and the several Commanders, Officers, and men of all ranks of the navy and royal marines of her Majesty's squadron, and the Indian navy, under my command on this occa sion : the whole of whom are justly entitled to my best thinks and commendation. Commander Watson, of the Modeste, having been sent forward with his division by Captain Bourchier on first landing, was able to reach the advanced party of the troops in time to assist them, in boats across a canal, to enter the city ; and Sir Hugh Gough has expressed him self much pleased with his exertions on this and all occa sions in which his services have been connected with the army. Lieut. Wm. 11. Maitland; commanding the Algerine, and Lieut. Bate (additional) attached to the Bentinck, after assisting in landing the troops, accompanied them on their advance, during which two officers (or inferior Mandarins) fell in single conflict by the hands of the former, who bids fair to rival the gallantry of his lamented uncle, that bright ornament of our profession, the late Sir Fre derick Maitland ; and Lieutenant Bate, by his spirited exertions, succeeded in making prisoner a Chinese offi cer, holding the rank of Colonel. The city was escaladed, and occupied with very little resistance ; and a large quantity of arms, of every de scription, gunpowder, and provisions, have been found and destroyed, together with the guns in the batteries and arsenals, with the exception of eleven of brass, which have been embarked. A list is enclosed of the ordnance which has been found. The steadiness and good conduct of the combined forces has been most satisfactory, but the plunder and devastation committed by the natives from the moment of our entering the city, has, perhaps, exceeded that of any place we have yet visited ; now can the Tartar portion of the population divest themselves of the appre hension of being massacred, under which unfortunate impression, many, after destroying their infant children, have committed suicide. I inclose, with concern, a list of two killed and four wounded in the squadron, the latter, I am happy to say, are doing well ; but I fear the casualties in the army amount to nine killed, and fifty-two wounded, many of them severely.—l have, &c., W.

This was an appeal from a decree of the Vice-Chan cellor of England. by which a dissolution of partner ship was pronounced between plaintiff and defendant, who carried on business as tailors in Leicester-square; the grounds of that decree was the lunacy of the de fendant, by which he was rendered unable to attend to, or take any share in the business. The bill was filed in December, 1837, and the decree was made in May, 1839, declaring the partnership dissolved from the year 1834. it was contended against the decree that the lunacy of a partner did not, ipso facto, dis solve the partnership, as the business still continued to be carried on with his capital. The decree, there fore, should only have dissolved the partnership from the date of the decree itself, and not have had a retro spective operation. Mr. STEWART was heard in support of the decree, and had not concluded his argument when the Court rose. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 12. GODBOLD V. MAGNA' , AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by Edward Godbold against the Sheriffs of Middlesex and their officers, to recover damages for an arrest and false imprison ment. It appeared from the evidence that a writ of ca. sa. had been sued out against one John Godbold, and had been confided to Luckett, an officer of the Sheriff of Middlesex for execution. The officer, however, arrested Edward Godbold, the present plain tiff, instead of his brother John Godbold. The plain tiff was detained in custody for some hours, and had brought the present action in consequenee. In the defence it was contended that Edward God bold had voluntarily sought the officer, and had re presented himself to be John Godbold, the man against whom the writ had been issued, for the pur pose of deluding the officer, and enabling John God bold to escape. Mr. Whateley conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Platt for defendants. Several witnesses were examined on both sides. The Jury found a verdict for plain ti ff—D am ages,lo/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 12. The Court this morning disposed of some uncle. fended and other actions, which presented no feature of the slightest interest or importance. HOWARD V. ASIITON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a wool merchant, to recover the sum of 341. 9s. for wool, al leged to have been sold to the defendant, a hat manu facturer, on his own account ; the defence being that Mr. Ashton gave the order to the plaintift's agent for the firm of Bowler and Jarratt, lately engaged in the hat manufacture, in Southwark, who have since failed. For the plaintiff, a young man, named Richardson, his apprentice, and another, deposed that Mr. Ashton gave the order to the former on his, defendant's, own account, making no mention of Bowler's name until after the purchase, when (it was admitted) he directed the parcels to be addressed to that firm. For the defence a letter from the plaintiff's firm in Rochfort, addressed to Bowler and Jarratt, and enclosing an invoice made out in their name was put in. Mr.Jarrat also was called, and stated that Ashton showed him samples of the wool in question, saying that he wished to get an order to serve young Mr. Richard son, who was a friend of his son's. The witness liked the sample, and consented to take two bales, which Ashton agreed to order for him, and they were received accordingly. Sometime afterwards the plaintiff and Richardson called on him to inquire how he liked the wool, when he told them it did very well, hut he had used but little of it, and hoped they did not expect the money soon. Howard replied that it was not yet due, but in the proper time he would apply. Witness considered the goods as bought for him solely. Mr. Bowler was dead at the time, though ,the business was carried on under the old name up to the time of the bankruptcy. The COURT directed that if they believed the evi dence of Richardson, the servant of the plaintiff, and that of the elder Richardson, his father, that the de fendant first ordered the goods as for himself; and afterwards, in directing them to Jarratt, said that he and that firm could take them between them, they must find for the plaintiff. The .Jury retired, and after a short deliberation, found for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YE STE RDAY.) WORSHIP- STREE7'. Thomas Twyman, alias Smith, a smartly dressed young man, who was formerly employed as footman in the family of Thomas Archimedes Russell, Esq., of Cheshimt-park, Herts, was charged before Mr. Broughton with having broken into the dwelling-house of that gentleman, and stolen a cash-box, containing 254 sovereigns, 1501. in bank notes, together with other property ; and Sarah Parker, a woman of the town, was charged with being accessory to the robbery. The prosecutor stated that the robbery was com mitted on 'Wednesday, the 7th inst., and the discovery of it took place between six and seven o'clock on the same evening. He had sat down to dinner with his family, when a female domestic entered the room, and informed him that she suspected that thieves were in the house, the windows of his dressing-room and library being wide open. He - immediately proceeded up stairs, and, on examining his dressing-room, he dis covered that a drawer hAd been broken open, and that his cash-box, containing the above-mentioned sum had been stolen from it. The adjoining room had also been ransacked, and several sovereigns abstracted from a gun case belonging to his son. It appeared that the thieves had climbed up to the verandah in front of the window and had made their escape by leaping down upon a flower bed which was nine feet below it. The impression of a man's foot was discovered in the mould underneath the window, and there was also the mark of a knee, from which it appeared that he had fallen down in making the descent. The male prisoner was formerly in Jiis service, but he dis charged him about seven months ago, and suspecting that he was a party to the robbery, he caused hand bills to be circulated, giving a description of his per son, and offering a reward for his apprehension. Mr. BROUGHTON asked the prosecutor how long the prisoner had been in his service and what was the cause of his discharge. The prosecutor said that the prisoner was two years in his situation, and performed its duties in a most satisfactory manner, but suspicions were at length entertained of his integrity, which led to his discharge. Police Constable Gurling, G 94, stated that between 3 and 4 o'clock on Sunday morning he was on duty in the City road, when he was accosted by the male prisoner, who told him that he had just been robbed at a house of ill-fame, situate No. '23, Windsor-place. On asking him how much money he had lost, the pri soner said that the amount was from 1001. to 1501., and that he suspected it was stolen by one of the women with whom he had spent the evening at the Haymarket Theatre. The prisoner added that he was a gentleman, and that the money was part of his for tune, of which he had lately come into possession. Witness then proceeded to the house with the prisoner and Police Constable Stannard, and on being ad mitted by the landlady he found the female prisoner and two other women inside, each of whom denied all knowledge of the robbery. He searched the house without finding any of the money, and the prisoner began to manifest extreme reluctance to proceed any further in the matter. Wit 'l.-less, however, took all the women into custody, and conveyed them with the prisoner to the station-house, and on his way thither the prisoner said he had been a gentleman's servant, and had saved the money out of his wages. The prisoner was searched when he reached the station-house, and three packets of money were found upon him, consisting of one 10/. and two 51. notes, and 106 sovereigns. On making the dis covery, a reference was made to the " occurrence book,' containing a record of the robberies that had lately been committed, and it was discovered that the description of the man suspected of the Cheshunt rob bery exactly corresponded with the appearance of the prisoner. The prisoner, however, stoutly denied the robbery, but on being again asked where he got the money found upon him, he said that he had picked it up on the Cheshunt road. He was then detained and the women were liberated, but the female prisoner was afterwards re-apprehended. Sergeant Beaumont dated that he had been down to the prosecutor's residence, and found that the male prisoner's shoe exactly fitted the footmark under the dressing-room window. He also found a large stone imbedded in the mould where the mark of the man's knee was visible, and the prisoner's trowsers were torn at the• corresponding part. The prosecutor said that the cash box had been broken open and rifled : but, on examining a secret compartment, he found two 51. notes and two cheques for 25/. and 301., which had been overlooked by the thieves. Mr. BROUGHTON complimented the police upon the admirable manner in which they had managed the case, and said that he should commit the male prisoner on the charge ; and although he considered that the evidence was not sufficiently strong to bring home a guilty knowledge to the female prisoner, he should remand her for the present. HAVRE COMMERCIAL NEWS. HAVRE, DEC. 10.—CorToxs.—The universal ex citement produced on the other side of the Channel, by the accounts of the favourable termination of the war with China, having begun to subside, although they have since been fully confirmed, and the sudden impulse imparted by the expectation of a speedy re turn to prosperity in business generally, having in some degree died away, all traces of the animation that was created in our market, which had partaken of the improved feeling, have entirely disappeared, and the transactions during the past week having fallen far short of those which had previously taken place. The buying, throughout, has been on a very restricted scale, with not the slightest symptom of speculative spirit apparent, and holders who had before maintained a firm attitude, and rather evinced a disposition to raise their pretensions, are now willing sellers, at current rates. This decrease in the demand, almost as unlooked for, as the revival that had so unexpectedly sprung up, has caused a slight alteration in prices which are hut feebly supported, and the aspect of things upon the whole cannot be considered as very encou raging. Our latest advices from the United States state that the weather had been propitious to the new crop, and the anticipations held out of an abundant production, tend to check operations to any large ex tent, but this being as yet partly conjectural, is not likely materially to affect our market, which is more immediately influenced by the fluctuations in Liver pool and Manchester. The very ordinary and low United States descriptions have fallen two centimes, the ordinary one centime. The new Georgia sell with difficulty, although an abatement was offered to in duce sales. The Louisiana appear to hold a better position. Altogether the good ordinary and all better qualities are but feebly demanded. The aarivals dur ing the week amount to 4,324 bales. The sales to 6,876 bales. The stock in all hands to 124,000 bales. We know of 22 vessels laden with cotton from the south, three packets from New York, which, together, will add 35,000 bales to our stock during the present month. COFFEE.— Our market has been very flat through out the week, the sales have been on a very restricted scale, and prices exhibit a downward tendency-962 bags St. Domingo were run off at 384 to 39 per half kilogramme in bond, and fair quality has since been offered at 384 c. ; 610 bags damaged were brought to the (hammer, and knocked down at 81c. to 89c. per half kilogramme, duty paid ; and 167 bags low were taken at 32c. to 38c. in bond. Other descriptions have been entirely neglected. No arrivals have come in. Stock : 25,100 bags St. Domingo, 4,500 bags Brazil, 3,100 bags Havannah, Porto Cabello, and Laguayra, 850 bags East India, 1,100 bales Bourbon, 200 bales Mocha, and 188 casks from our West India plantations. SuGAß.s.—This article has begun to escape from the depressed condition in which it has been held for some time. The refiners, pressed by their wants, have been obliged to seek provisions, which has caused activity in the market. This had been fore seen, and has been met with firmness by the holders, and a considerable amelioration has been produced, and which appears likely to hold. The transactions of the week are estimated at 1,200 barrels of raw West India. At the commencement the " bonne 4me." was obtainable at 56E, but a little later .56f. 50c. was paid, as well for those in magazine as those on board the vessels in port ; and there is a tendency towards 57f., from the readiness with which all those lots at 56f. 50c. have been received. The market may he considered firm at 56f. 50c., at which price there are more buyers than sellers. INDicos.—The confirmation of the accounts of an unusually short crop in Bengal, not amounting to 80,000 maunds, has given greater confidence to the holders, who are now high and firm in their pre tensions. The consumers still hesitate to sanction the rise in the market; but they will be forced sooner or later to supply themselves. Twenty-six cases Bengal are quoted this week at 10f. 10c., and eight chests are said to have been sold at the same price. We have received 16 cases from India. We felt it our duty to notice the extreme dissatis faction felt by many of the City Reformers, at the uncalled-for manner in which the Lord Mayor, at his inaugural dinner, proclaimed himself to be a follower of the Tory Premier. We mentioned at the time the surmises of some of his Lordship's guests as to his motives for thus flinging among them the firebrand of politics, upon an occasion usually held sacred from the intrusion of party allusions. We have since received a letter from a member of the Reform Club, inform ing us that Mr. Alderman Humphery had been twice proposed as a candidate for admission into that Club, and had been twice black-balled. It is not for us to say how far the Lord Mayor, smarting under these repeated rejections from an association of Reformers, may not have made up his mind to propitiate the influence of Sir Robert Peel, towards obtaining his entry into the Carlton.—Sunday Paper. FATAL ACCIDENT.-Mr. Payne held an inquest last evening at the Grapes, Bermondsey-street, Bermondsey, upon the body of William Gillam, aged 53. The deceased, who lived at Wapping, called on Sunday . to see a married daughter, residing at 4, Alfred-place, Vinegar-yard, Bermondsey. He was somewhat intoxicated, and requested something to eat. The remains of a meat-pie were placed be fore him, but he had scarcely taken a mouthful ere he fell back in great agony, the food he had taken having stuck in the passage. Mr. Copely, of Bermondsey street, was called in, and after using the probang, passed the meat into the stomach, but the deceased was exhausted, and died immediately afterwards. Verdict—" Accidental Death." LORD MORPETII.-It has been stated in a para graph, which originated (we believe) with the Shef field Iris, that Lord Morpeth was preparing a work on the subject of the United States. We may say with confidence that there is no ground for the state ment.--Leeds Mercury. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. Yesterday a commission of lunacy was opened before Edward Winslow, Esq., and 16 freeholders of the county, amongst whom were the following Ma gistrates :—Henry Pownan, Esq. (foreman), Captain Bague, R. Carpenter, Esq., James Whiskin, Esq., James Dixon, Esq., and Digby T. Carpenter, Ea+ at the residence of Mrs. Broome, Norwood-green/ near Southall, to inquire into the state of mind of John Broome, Esq., described as residing at the same place, bachelor. Mr. BLUNT appeared as Counsel in support of the commission, and saidsnotice of the inquiry had been served upon Mr. Broome, but he had declined the 0- sistance of any professional gentleman. Commissioner WiNsLow having charged the Jury, Mr. BLUNT give an outline of the case. Mr. Broome , he said, was a gentleman about 35 years of age, and is possessed of very considerable property , and had received a good education. He was brought up at the Charterhouse, and from there went to Trinity. ollege, Cambridge. After leaving the latter place in 1831, he went to travel upon the Continent, and on his r e : turn, about July, 1834, it was observed for the firs; time that an alteration had taken place in his mina. About this period they would have it in eviden ce from members of the family that Mr. Broome begun t° labour under singular delusions. He imagined that were there were conspiracies against him, that pers ons in the habit of constantly watching him, and that his food was impregnated with poison. In the yea r 1835 it was found necessary to place him under re straint, and he was accordingly placed under th e t care of Sir Charles Aldous and remained with th 3 gentleman and his brother, ' Dr. Aldous, up to I 'E°' vember, 1835. It was then found necessary to bar a consultation of physicians, and Dr. Sutherland, Sir Henry Halford, and Drs. Roots and M‘Wright were called in, as it was found that Mr. Broome 's life was becoming endangered from his determination not. take food. It was afterwards thought that it would.ova better Mr. Broome should be left in the care oln, keeper, and kept as quiet as possible, and he WAS s it: to Hampstead, a s m ee te d ad to , a b n e d m re u m eh ai m ne o d re t pas her s e ive up , moved to his mother's in Upper Seyni be T he y would find, however, when he got there that he d :: s hibited acts of violence—such as breaking scji books. v aluabl and looking-glasses and destroying and her In 1838 his mother removed to Twickenham, son went to reside in the same house, and he and then himself shut be r, came of the most secluded habits, and up in his room and laid in bed form onths together' our7strleeB3t6..l to see any member of his family. He and would not allow it to be made, From 1831 to 1842 they would find he was attended by Eliza his lor, who would state that he refused to liar! his has e • g lit. room cleaned out, and sometimes would breakfast and tea together at a late hour at tight. In 1842 Mrs. Broome removed to Norwood-gtant. and in April last Rhoda Foster became his attedndthat Since her attendance upon bim they would fin i d n ot his conduct was most extraordinary. He Iva h i s also refused 9 allow her to enter his room, and made her le ave fee l. meals at the door. He showed no sympathy t the ing towards any of his family, or anybody ab° ll , , ert y, house. Mr. Broome had very considerable pro,- his his father having left him residuary legatee u nder , n o li will of some extensive produce in the West In were the which Messrs.
