I N D I A. We have received the Singapore Chronicle of -the 10th of June, from which we give the fol lowing extracts : " SIAMESE EXPEDITION.—By Some Of the last arrivals from Siam, we learn that the Siamese are intent upon the conquest of the Malayan Princi palities of Perah and. Salangore, which are those lying intermediately between - Pawing and_Ma lacca.; .and We hear .from the extremity of the Straits, that the Rajah of Ligore had assembled a - fleet of 300 boats at the port of 'Prang, - with ..this object. Conjecturing that each boat may carry 40 men, this armament will amount to 12,000—a horde of barbarians that must pass close by the shores of Prince of Wales's Island, and whose vicinity, therefore, would be calcu lated to excite alarm, considering the small gar rison of that Island, if any doubts were enter tained respecting the professions and a attachment of the Siamese. " Si A K.—An expedition was fitting out by the Rajah of this place against. the Chief of Bookit Batoo, by name Toonko Long, (who about two years ago plundered a boat off ;Malacca, and nar rowly escaped apprehension on a subsequent ltrading.visit to that place ; having been recog nized _by the Chinese he had robbed, information was laid at the police, and through the timely , warning of a friend he saved himself by a pre . cipitate flight, leaving most of his cargo) : hey has since that time exercised uncontroulled sway at Bookit Batoo, which is situated on the sea beach, a little to the southward of the entrance ..of the river of Siak, nod where he has under him about five hundred persons engaged in the collection of fish-roes : it is about three days' sail from the capital. The fleet of boats sent against him was expected to reach its destination before the 10th instant. Little fighting was an .ticipated, as his personal followers are but few ,-in number. He is accused of indiscriminately appropriating to himself the children .of the in -habitants, seizing their property, levying exorbi tant exactions, and other crimes of a similar na .,ture, and refuses to -admit the authority or inter ./ference of his Rajah. " SHIP LA oNcll.—On Saturday, the 4th instant, -the first European-modelled vessel that has ever „been-built at Singapore was launched from Mr. Swinton's yard ; she is a schooner, about 40 tons measurement. At about two P.M. the shores were .knocked away, and she glided beautifully down her ways into the river, amidst the joyous accla mations of a large concourse of spectators, Euro pean and Asiatic, drawn together to witness so .novel a sight. She was named, under :the 'customary salute, the Singapore. She is -built entirely of the woods of the place, Jooks extremely smart, and appears well calculated fora trader in the Archipelago. The style in which she is executed does great credit to Mr. •Swinton ; we sincerely wish him every success, and trust that be may meet with such encourage ment in the sale of her as may induce him to _undertake schemes more extensive. We doubt not that ship-building might be carried on very profitably at Singapore, as there is an abundance of the fitiest'wood, and cheaper,. perhaps, than it is in any other part of the world." . . INDIAN ARMY.—COURT MARTIAL. glead-qvarters, Calcutta, May 27, 182.5. At a Native general Court Martial, re-assembled at Rung. Tore,..Assam, on Wednesday, April 27, 1825,.Derriow Sing, Je:nadai, I)ipagepore Local Battalion, was arraigned upon the larder-mentioned charges, viz. : " Ist. For Conduct unbecoming the character of a Commis sioned Officer, In having, betwen the oth of May and the. 21st of July. last, when in command of a detached party, at Raha ,Choky, exacted various sums of money from merchants and traders, on account of Custom-house fees, and appropriating the same to his own use. " 2d. For an unwarrantable assumption of authority, in ex acting money by threats from the villagers, as a remuneration for his trouble in settling their disputes. " 3d. For disrespect to me, his Commanding Officer, in falsely stating he had instructions to purchase cloth for tents on my .account, and taking the same at an unjust valuation in my name and by my authority. All such conduct being preju dicial to good order and miiitcry discipline, and contrary to the Articles of War. (Signed) " E. F. WATEas, Major, Commanding Dinagepore Battalion." Camp at Gowatty, Assam, Sept. '25, 1824. Upon which charges the Court came to the following de cision OrmoN—" The Court is of opinion that the prisoner is guilty of the charges preferred against him, which being con . trary to the Articles of War, it sentences— SENTENCE—" That he, Derriow Sing, Jemadar, Dinage pore Local Battalion, be dismissed from the service of the lion. Company." Approved and confirmed, (Signed) EDWARD PAGET, General, Commander-in-Chief in India. The Commander-in-Chief cannot conceal his surprise and re gret that the Court should have deemed, as a fit object for its .recommendation to clemency, a man so utterly unworthy of being their associate as Jemadar Derriow Sing is proved to be. • .117 order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.

FICEETOWN, AUG. 27.—We understand that very large caravans of Gold Merchants are daily arriving, and that the quantity of gold in the Co lony at present is much greater than it was ever known to be at so early a period. AUGUST W.-It is now certain that a Commis sion of Inquiry into the State of this Colony has been "determined upon by the British Govern ment; and that the Commissioners may shortly be expected here. We have heard the name of one among those appointed, and that is Col. You g, who administered the Government of Trinidad during Sir It. Woodford's absence. Although we cannot see the necessity of sending Commissioners here, under existing circumstances, we shall still be most happy to see them, as we feel assured that their report must eventually benefit this 'Colony in an eminent degree. We do not look hack to the past, nor will we attempt to discuss the propriety of 'those measures which have been formerly adopted on behalf of this Colony. Of this, at least, we feel assured, that the capabilities and natural advantages of Sierra Leone are equal to all, and superior to many of his Majesty's tropical possessions. It requires only a skilful guide, with sufficient sup port from home for a few years, to render it one of the most valuable jewels of the British Crown ; and calmly and conscientiously we declare our 4irm belief, that, if left to the operation of those ; .plans, which are now formed for its welfare, 41 will yet realize the best wishes of its warmest friends. It is with tins conviction, therefore, we hail the arrival of well-informed, unprejudiced . men, as a happy omen of the future prosperity of this hitherto unfortunate Colony ; feeling well assured that it requires only to be better known to be duly appreciated. Avower 13.—0 n Thursday week his Majesty's ship Redwing, Capt. Clavering, from England, last from the Cape de Verds Island, having had the misfortune to strike oti,the S.W. reef of the Island of Bonavista, during the night, in endea vouring to avoid the Letott Rock. She has, for tunately, sustained little damage, and that in tine fa !se keel only. Ca pt. Cla vering left POrtsmouth on the 4th of Juno last, and, on the same day, the Bann, with our highly-esteemed friend Capt. Courtenay, arrived at Spithead. The Redwing has brought out the British silver money winch -has been so long looked for, and which we feel will ultimately prove of the greatest benefit to the commercial interest of this Colony. The portion intended for this station has been already landed, and as soon as the Redwing has completed her wood and water she will proceed to Cape Coast, where the - remainder will be giVen in charge to the senior Commissariat •Officer of that station. Cap tain Clavering will then endeavour to join the Commodore, who intends remaining to leeward until November next. Ott Thursday came into this harbour the schooner Belvidere, Newby, master, from Liverpool, having called in the Gambia, whither she returns immediately, for the purposes of loading a cargo of the valuable timber of that river. Sire has brought letters from St. Mary's, which describe the Settlement as generally healthy, but that the rains were about setting in -regularly. We regret to learn that the gum trade has completely failed this season ; the brig Hambletonian having only obtained 36 tons of gum, while the Sarah has not been able to trade for any, and has, therefore, returned to St. Mary's, where she will take in a cargo of wax and hides; it is said she will sail for England about the middle of this month.—llis Majesty the King of Barra seems to have profited by the useful lesson he received from his Excellency the Governor-General, anti remains perfectly tranquil under his losses. The general trade of the river was going on in the usual course., CANCER. Cory a Letter from the Rev. Dr-BATTiniAN to the Rev. Mr. REYNOLDS, describing an extraordinary Cure performed by the ure of Clivers, otherwise Goose Grass. 64 All - 01 d women in my parish had what is called a bleeding cancer, continuing to eat away the flesh for several years—and it was supposed by a medical person who attended her, that she would end her miseries in less than a fortnight, when I recommended her to use the divers or goose grass, with the properties of which I was acquainted, and the manner she used them is as follows :—She took a mercurial purge—was to eat no salt meats ; to use thin diet, and twice a-day, between meals, to drink a quarter of a pint of the juice of divers, which she got by pounding and squeezing them—at the same time to take some of the juice, boil and mix it witk hog's lard, so as to make a green ointment, and constantly apply it to the wound, laying the bruised slivers over it, to remove it as often as it is dried, and to take particular care to keep the wound clean. This was done for six months, partly by compulsion, for the benefit was so gra dual I could scarcely persuade the woman &he was the better of it, and began to have some doubts, only that her being alive, and the smell abating, were convincing proofs that a cure in time might be effected. I therefore insisted on her continuing the practice as above, and it being a mild winter, there was divers to be found under warm hedges. The course was still continued, and three months after the wound was perfectly healed. I afterwards advised her to take it every spring to prevent a return of the com plaint." Mrs. Gregory's receipt for the ointment is, to take a pound of hog's lard without spice or salt, and as much divers as the hog's lard will mois ten ; boil it over a slow fire, stirring it till it looks brown ; then strain it through a cloth, and when cold make the ointment of the water that appears at the bottom—the bruised leaves being applied often to stay the abundance of blood issuing from the' wound. Observe all the direc tions in Dr. Bateman's letter—to keep the wound very clean, to take physic, and drink the juice of the leaf a week before the ointment is applied. Laying the bruised leaves of slivers over the wound, is thought to be very useful, though it is apt to heat the part very much, and when it is past bearing, it must be taken off and applied as it can be borne. N. should be observed there is another weed very much like the diver in appearance, but may easily be distinguished by observing the diver feels rough and sticky, the weed that resembles it is quite smooth. (Maidstone Journal.) ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.-TO-morrow there will be an eclipse of the Moon, partly visible. The Moon rises at three minutes past four o'clock, and the eclipse will commence at 24 minutes past three, and will terminate at 19 minutes past five o'clock in the evening ; duration one hour andss minutes digits eclipsed 21 on the Moon's south ern limb. FUNERAL OF THE UNFORTUNATE SAMUEL CROOK.-Yesterday afternoon, in conformity with the dying wish of this ill-feted youth to the Rev. Alt% B. ISAAC, his spiritual adviser, on the night before his execution, his body was interred hi the burial ground of the Gloucester chapel, in the filds at Hackney. The funeral train consisted of the unhappy parents of the deceased, and the whole of his brothers and sisters, six in number, followed by a vast concourse of people, who all seemed to lament his untimely end. The funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Isaac, from the 40th chap. Isaiah, and the Ist and 9-d verse ,, , which had been selected by the unfortunate youth ; and a tomb-stone to his memory is to be erected on his grave. THE CONSTITUTIONNEL. TRIAL OF THE FRENCH JOURRNAL, THE CONSTITUTIONNEL. COUR ROYALE, AT PAIII3•--SOLEMN SITTING, Nov. 19. Continuation of the Speech of the ADVOCATE-GENERAL. Here, Gentlemen, an important reflection presents itself— that a system of opposition should be established in a Journal ; that it should oppose all acts which it considers connected .with policy, with the freedom of worship, the public liberties, to the rights of citizens, we can conceive; but that, quitting the path of politics, of public liberties, of general rights, this op position (let us rather say this hostility) is shown towards persons for the purpose of vilifying their morals ; that (as have already seen, and as we shall see further on). It is pleased to repre sent the Priests as circulating the poison of debauchery, and themselves practising immorality—that a proceeding against a Priest is a good thing, if it be very scandalous—that it seizes with avidity a horrible exaamle, if one presents itself—that it is delighted at striking with these frightful pictures the imagi nations of the people, always too ready to receive prejudices, and to generalize ideas of evil. We say, Gentlemen, and no sincere man will contradict us, that it is no longer an opposition which the law understands, that it is no longer a political oppo sition, a religious opposition, but a system of scandal directed against the things themselves. What advantage, in fact, is it to politics, to the liberties of the Galilean Church, the rights of the citizens, to scandalize the words of the Priests, or to cast on them the horror of some atrocious crime. It is, in effect, only to attack the respect clue to religion itself. It is, undoubtedly, allowable, to see in different lights the schools of mutual in struction and Christian doctrine ; but by what right does the Constitutionnel, so great an enemy to all usurpation of power, interpose in the exercise of ecclesiastical authority, as to the ad ministering of the Sacraments ? " These schools diminish," it says, " because some fantastic Priests refuse to allow the pu pils of those schools to participate in the Sacraments, and be cause some others refuse to admit to the benefits of the charity the unfortunate relations who send their children there." Then it adds—" Behold the odious means employed to destroy them. It is by terror and persecutions that some are frightened : by misery,by hunger,and all the horrors to which they aresubjected, that others are - terrified." These schools diminish. We will not examine whether this allegation is true with regard to all France, and if the cause of the diminution (if it exist) does not depend on a preference, free, independent, and proved by facts. We will not chew you that at Paris the contrary of the allega tion is true ; but we will ask the Constitutionnel by what right it imputes to the peiests the refusal of children the sacrament, because they belong to those schools ? Who has revealed to them the secret of confession ? There, Gentlemen, we see usurpation of rights, a false accusation, and consequently a caltlinny. We have the more right to say this, because we have proved that no reclamation, no complaint had been made on this point, either to the ecclesiastical authority, to justice, or the adminiStration. But by what excess of hatred does it im pute to some of the priests the refusal of the assistance of the charity to the misfortune who send their children to their mu tual schools ? We shall only say that the Constitutionnel dis plays hatred and injustice, or rather fanaticism and persecution against priests, when it complains so much of the persecution and fanaticism of the priests. But that which is truly curious is a note oft ne article of the 6th May. A mission was sent to Besancon, in January 1823. Would you believe that this mis sion has lowered the commwe, and considerably diminished the produce of the duties ? Because the money employed at the price of the chains, medals, scapularies, chaplets, flags, and livres de cautiques et instructions. It is certainly not in the spirit of religious controversy that the Constitutionnel of the 13th May, announced that the Commune formerly Francaise of Veriox, is on the point of embracing Protestantism. We in fact remark, throughout the whole of this article, an attempt to produce contests between Catholics and Protestants. Let a young Ecclesiastic, seconded by some intriguers, provoke an opposition and hatred to this Bishop : this is very possible ; but that a whole parish should, on this account, have abjured the faith of their fathers. And if this were possible, why the tone of triumph in the Constitution/re/ ? By what sentiment is it animated, if not by that of hatred of the Catholic religion, when it thus endeavours to excite disaffection ? In fact, what motive did the Conststutionncl ascribe for the Bishop's inter diction ? The unpardonable crime of living on good terms with the Protestants of the neighbouring parishes. %net is it to the Constitntionnel that the priest himself has declared that reports had been circulated against him, and that the Bishop had re proved him for several faults. This was nothing; it was ne cessary to render. the Catholics odious to the Protestants, and toward this object every aim was directed. The Constitution. nel insists that the inhabitants of Versoix refused to receive their new Pastor ; " and of what consequence is it to this jour. nal that a Provisional Administrator and a Curd have both been well received by the inhabitants, even by those who sided with the former Card ? What is it to this Journal that the whole parish remained Catholic, not one person having left the faith of his fathers ?" It was to strike a blow against the Ca tholic religion that the tale was told, and it was told. Is such an action doubtful ? It is no question of contro versy ; it is hatred which speaks, which endeavours to stifle. Neither the Charter, nor the laws of this or any other country, ever authorised such attacks. The same spirit is found in the articles of May 15th and 16th. They relate to the town of Nerac, and we must read the articles to make the Court know the declamation they contain. 44 See the pro gress of intolerance. Here is a flagrant violation of the right of property. The Protestants of Nerac have been expelled their church. The Cure of Nerac, at the head of his clergy, has taken possession of the Protestant temple, chauuting Te Doan for his victory. The Cure mounted the pulpit to ful minate his anathemas against the Protestants, who, plunged in consternation, demand guarantees for the future, and ask if they shall not be forced to flee to the desert, to find •an asylum against intolerance ?" When you read such de tails, Gentlemen, you will think certainly that the Pro testants of Nerac have been expelled from their church, and that the Cure has taken solemn possession. But, in this Case, we have public acts. Let us ask, then, the fact. The dispute relative to the property of a Church between the hospi tal of Nerac and the Consistory, goes back for its origin to the. year 12 ; it was pursued before the tribunal, and a decree of the Council of Prefecture gave sentence in favour of the hos pital. The cause is now before the Council of State. Can there be a flagrant violation of property in a legal decision, from which certainly there has been an appeal ? Here is a let ter from the Sub-Prefect of Nerac. He writes from Nerac, May 23, 1825—s' The Constitntionncl has inserted, on the 15th and Ifith of this month, an article relative to a dispute between the Consistory of the Evangelical Church and the Administra tion of the Hospital, about the property of a Church. Not to suspect the Editor of the most base want of sincerity, he must have been deceived by one of those wicked persons whose life is trouble and hope of mischief. The article of tire 15th contains eleven assertions, each of which merits a denial. The Consti tutionnel etays the population of Nerac amounts to 5,600 per. sons ; 2,600 being Protestants." The total number of Pro testant inhabitants really is 1,148; 420 only being within the walls. The Council did not take up the question as the Cooeti tationnel says, it was imposed on it by the Council of State. The Consistory was heard as well as the Administrator of tire Hospital, which the Constitutionnel denies. The Con stitutionnel says the act of expulsion was executed. -It has not been. Tire Prefect, in passing the Decree, recommended that it should not be exerted till the Protestants had another Church. So far from the Curd taking possession, the Protestants are still hr possession of the temple. Sonic thanksgivings were offered up in a chapel belOnging to the sisters of Nevers, for the restoration to their hospital, of the chureh_thiso is the Te Deem. There is no pulpit in this chapel for the Curd to 'ascend, and he did not take pos. sessioa of the church. The Constitutionnel confirms these - false assertions in its Paper of the 16th. In both it chews the Cure of Nerac, as a blind fanatic, and the authorities as sub mitting to a threed condescension. The Cure is a wise and prudent man, full of charity, an apostle of Catholicism, hut s f whom not even a Jew has any thing to fear. The Authorities know the will of their Sovereign, and they do their duty. I in close a letter from the President of the Consistory to me. "The most perfect concord has always reigned at Nerac, between the members of the two different faiths, and in any case the Protestants will only leave their Church to enter another, and to this end, the cares of the Administration are directed, &c., &c., De la Bergerie, Sub-Prefect." The Protestants' Pastor's letter also denied the assertions of the Constitutionnel. He I was heard ; he wee not expelled. The Cure did not take pos- session, and the Protestants of Nerac were not disturbed._ I This letter was signed by Quatrcils, the Protestant Pastor." "To these documents," continued M. Broe, after reading them 44 we can and the official proof, that the Protestants of Nerac are now in possession of their church. In this manner, then, has public opinion been deceived, and have the enemies of the Church and State been encouraged. The object was to sow discord. And do you suppose that the Constitutionnel inserted the letter which the Protestant Pastor says lie sent him, of his own accord ? Did it ever mention such a letter ? No. Some days afterwards it spoke of the letter of the Sub-Prefect, and though defeated in facts, it supported its statements by a refer ence to a-petition - then presented to the Chamber of Deputies ; at length it spoke of the Protestant Clergyman, but only of his letter to the Sub-Prefect, and, then, to weaken his testimony, by saying that the petition to the Chamber of Deputies is signed by him. The fact is still mis-stated, for the President of the Consistory only signed to legalise it; and you may judge by the subjoined copy, if this petition authorised the remarks of the Conititutionnel.—(To be continued.)—(Constitutionnel.) MIR3MICIII. The following interesting letter from Captain WALTZII, of the ship James, to the Owners, was received last night at thd North and South Ame rican Coffee-house : " M Ask!cur, Oct. 11, 1825—The north side of Mira michi is now aheap of ashes. It is not ascertained to what ex tent tie fire reaches ; some say 80, some 200 miles back. For about 20 miles up and down the river nothing is seen but stacks of chimneys, they being built of stone, whereas the houses, which were of wood, are all burnt, and 1 am sorry to say a great number of men, women, and children, cattle, &c. My stower helped to bury 38 yesterday in one small settlement ; some they had to put into coffins with spades, as many as six in a coffin, according to the number of the family, Three ships are totally burnt, viz. —Canada, of North Shields ; Concord, of Whitby ; and Jane, of Alloa. The Canada was all load, tha others were discharging ballast at the same heap as the James, The James was on fire at three different places at three different times ; but, thank God ! we got it out before it got to any great height. We have our jib, mainmast, and trysail burnt. The fire broke out about eight in the evening on the 7th inst. at the river side ; all the afternoon we heard a roaring away to the north ward of us accompanied by smoke and soot, but no one sup posed it would be so instantaneous, for before we could dis tinguish any flame, the fire flakes came off the land on board thicker and faster than ever I saw a snow storm in my life, branches of trees and burning leaves, and so for the same distance up and down the river already mentioned, and all at the same instant, accompanied by a hurricane ; it must have come through the woods at a great rate, for people who went up to observe if they could see any thing like fire could not, olthough the smoke was very thick, they ran back as fast as they could, and before they got down two minutes the fire was at their heels ; those that are saved was by their running into the river up to their chins, and keeping their heads constantly wet ; many children who were in bed were snatched up by their mothers, and carried down to the river, but before they got them down, their shirts had caught, which were torn off ; in this state they were laid on the beach, their parents keping them continually wet, the father with his hat and the mother with her shoes, until morning, when they were taken on board she shipping. 1 have now a family on board of man, woman, and four children, who were in that state. " People who were in the woods, as far as can be heard, were dreadfully off. Whole camps of them, from ten to forty in a camp, who were gone in for the winter to make timber, are consumed with the cattle. People are coming in, some have lost a wife and children, some a husband and children, some more, some less, some naked and burnt. One woman in par ticular, finding the tire too hot for her to bear as she was run ning with her two children, laid them down and lay upon them; she is burnt from her heels to the crown, so much that not a bit of flesh is on her; the children are not hurt ; she still lives, but in great agony. Some who could get into boats were upset and drowned. Gilmore and Rankin's stores are all burnt, except about 70 barrels of pork, which they got out of the fire yester day. Mr. Abrahams, the merchant we load with, are all burn t down. I sent my carpenter to say I should be happy to see them on board should they think proper. Mrs. Abrahams said, for God's sake take them. When the carpenter went into the house to take them, the children were taken out of bed in blankets, and Mrs. A. without a bonnet, with eight children, were coming to the ship when the fire met them in the face like a furnace, and they were obliged to return; by that time the house was all in flames ; they then made for a small schooner which lay at the wharf, and my cook, who had gone with them, got his hand hurt; one of his fingers has since been cut off. The Second Mate, and Carpenter, have been ill since the fire, and the Chief Mate fell down the hold and cut his head this morning. One man takes ill whenever any hard work comes, and the two men who ran away, I don't expect much good from." THE NEW LONDON-BRIDGE. Yesterday the first special Session was held at the Town Hall, Southwark, before the LORD MAYOR, Re corder, and Aldermen, according to the Act of Parliament for building the new London Bridge, to determine upon the com pensation due to claimants for injury sustained by the compul sory removal of tenants from premises which must be pulled down to effect the formation of the approaches. The first award of the Corporation that was disputed was one of 1,2001. for the good-will of the business of Mr. Wil mot, a chviuist and druggist. residing at N 0.317, High-street, Southwark. The claim of Mr. Wilmot was to the amount of . 3,300/. The claims for lease, premises, and fixtures, had been agreed to. The COMMON SERGEANT stated the case in behalf of the Corporation, and proved the tender that had been made. Air. Sergeant WILDE again animadverted upon the outra geous injustice of giving the Corporation, who were properly the defendants in this case, the right of opening, and replying, and trying it by their own officers. Mr. Alfred Fawkes, who supplied the claimant with drugs, represented him to be a very skilful man as a chymist and druggist, and stated that the premises were most advantage ously situated. He did a great deal of business in the small and - lighter drugs, which formed the most profitable part of the trade. Mr. Peachum and Mr. Warburton both represented the busi ness to be extremely flourishing. The thoroughfare was admi rably adapted to it. There were eight chemists and druggists within a short distance, and if Mr. Wilmot were to remove, they would be great gainers. Many eminent physicians sent their prescriptions to him for preparation. His hooks, from 1823, were produced, and it appeared that the gross profits, as there stated, had been in that year 1,2341., from which the sum of 1801. had been deducted as salary to shopman and rent. During the last year the gross prefits were upwards of 1,400/. The claim for compensation was made upon the average of the net profits, at three years' purchase.' The proprietor had carried on the business in the premises nine years. The COMMON SEBJEANT, in reply, said that the complaint about the city privileges alluded to afforded counsel an oppor tunity of exciting sympathy for their cliants whose supposed suKrings were so unsupportable. Now, why was it that Mr. Wilmot had given only an account of his dealings since 1823, the time when steps were taken to get the new bridge erected Why had he given no account of the previous six years, and • why had he called on shopman to speak of what was done during the last three years, and left that to he done by those of whom he bought, and who could only form conjectures upon Mr. Wilmot 's own statement. Mr. Wilmot was repre sented to be extremely skilful in his business. If so, his customers would follow him if he removed to no extremely in convenient distance, and no excessive charge ought to be made for situation. The Jury, after they had consulted for a considerable time, awarded the claimant 1,5001. for the good will, being less than one half of his demand, and 300/. more than had been offered by the Corporation. • The next claimant was Mr. Parker, who is a ready-made clothes-salesman, residing next door to Mr. Wilmot. He claimed 3,0001. for the good-will. The Corporation tendered him ss. The COMMON SERGEANT proved, that the claimant was a tenant at will, that his leaie had expired in September, 1823, and argued that there was no title to compensation. Mr. BROUGHAM said, he could prove that the landlord would never have turned out Mr. Parker if it had not been for the Corporation, so that he might continue but for them, in the regular receipt of 1,000/. a-year. Was it to be endured that a man was to lose this profit, and receive no recompense? Mr. Parker would lose his business with his shop, for bis goods merely were purchased at the fancy of the passers-by, who, if he was gone, would pass on to some other shop, without taking the trouble to look for him. It was proved, that for 11 years Mr. Parker had cleared 1,000/. a-year, and that his landlord had promised to renew his lease if the old bridge was not pulled down.—The Jury awarded the claimant 5001. _ 0 0'; V. -7 ~ q 0 b , - , ft"- C '‹ , * * MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT 1 " El.
