HIGH W ATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. ‘lcrring 29 minutes after 2 I Evening 59 minutes after 2. LONDON : FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 4, 1842. The provincial papers teem with plans for in creasing the quantity of food grown at home, Apparently the landowners have begun to per ceive that the present system cannot be much longer endured, and they hope to turn aside the wrath of those they have injured by promises of future plenty. Great systems of tile drainage are spoken of. Every acre is to be made to yield double the present quantity, and the landlords will ensure us a vast supply, if the League will only cease its agitation, and allow the present Corn-law, and the present so-called protection, to continue. Amongst the schemes for increasing the home produce, and for conferring additional benefits on the landowners, the one put forth by Mr. BLACKER, of Armagh, " a good agriculturist,"as he is called in the Northern Whig," but a worse than indifferent political economist," seems the most preposterous. It is bad enough to propose, with the generality of the landowners, that they should be allowed to underdrain and improve the lands by means of a tax wrung from the rest of the people ; but Mr. BLACKER proposes, in ad dition, that the Government, which is a continual borrower, like a paper-issuing bank, should also, like a bank, turn lender, and ensure prosperity to agriculture by a loan of public money to land lords, of one or two millions a-year, at 3l per cent. We need not criticise such a plan in de tail. It is too childish to merit notice, and we should not have bestowed any an it had it not been favourably spoken of by some of the land lords' journals. All schemes for the direct en couragement of agriculture seem to sin against common sense and the best established principles, and we should regret to see any of ti►em adopted. On this ground we•seldon► trouble ourselves with those which fall in our way, being convinced that they are all essentially erroneous, and must, if acted on, occasion mischief and disappointment. The best and the only encouragement to agri culture is an increased demand for its products, that is people•to consume them who have some thing to give for them. The farmers and land lords gain nothing by multiplying beggars; but the increase of merchants, who bring wealth of various kinds from other countries, and the in crease of manufacturers, artisans, and artists, Who by their lab Our and wealth gratify the wants, natural or artificial, .of the agricultural classes, bestows-on . them a rich reward for their exer tions. The increase of commerce and manufac tures is not merely the best, as Sir ROBERT PEEL has stated; it is, we repeat, the only encourage ment which can make agriculture thrive. To encourage agriculture, therefbre, we must permit manufactures and commerce to extend, and those who would encourage it by stifling the latter, or checking their growth, are as ignorant and barbarous as those savages who, by muti lating the human body, count on increasing its beauty and vigour. At present the complaint of the agriculturists do not get enough, or ais that theyremunerat ing price, for what they produce. They are grumbling from Cape Clear to Flamborough Head at the fall of prices. At the same time, it is plain, from the high price of agricultur a l pro . duce hitherto, that they have had more than their share of the produce of manufactures and trade. The law intended to give them more. The law has, at the same time, curbed manufac tures and commerce, and put a limit to their pro ductions. The chief ca use of the present fall of prices i s the comparative inability of the manu facturing and commercial classes to buy. They have little or nothing to give in exchange for agricultural produce. There are thousadds Of mouths in our towns hungering for food, who, receiving hardly any wages,cannot be good cus tomers of the farm ers . To' rais e prices, to in crease the effective demand for farmndproduce, to encourage agriculture, th e onli way is to put • these men in the way of earning wages. The quantity and value of manufacturing land com mercial products must be increased before there can be anything more to give to the farmers. , 4 4 f ,d ie „Ar n r•. , • -- • , es ""4"•=i; nf& Prices will then rise, and the farmer who now grows a great deal more than he consumes him self, will be enriched by exchanging his surplus voduce for the produce of merchants and manu facturers. Chancery. The solicitor of small capital bene- i fited by this, and Chancery proceedings, so far from being the most expensive in outlay to a so- , licitor, were fir less so than proceedings at corn. mon law, in proportion to their ultimate amounts. Cheap law is not an unmixed good—the facility of carrying on a suit is a great encouragement to the litigious or speculating client, and to the needy or reckless lawyer. The abolition of the credit system will check hundreds of paltry suits, and applications to the Court of Chancery be avoided, in trifles mostly easy to be settled by common sense and, judgment. There was no ultimate benefit to the suitor by the old system —the day of payment did arrive, and although the bill bore longer date, its amount was the same. But all such schemes as those of Mr. BLACKER, those of our tile-draining, stock-im proving, corn-law making landlords, rest on one leg. They increase agricultural produce, but they do not increase commodities to pay for it. No doubt the principle of population will supply mouths, but if mills stand idle or work half time, or if our shipping get but half freights or lie rot ting in port, there will be no increase of manufac turing and commercial wealth to exchange for agricultural produce. The more that is increased without an Increase in trade and manufactures the lower will its price fall, and the greater will be the distress, till a new life be given to manu factures by the excess and the cheapness of the produce of the farmers. As long as agriculture is carried on—not merely to supply the wants of the agriculturists but to exchange its produce, it is absurd to suppose that it can thrive without an increase in the wealth for which that produce is to be exchanged. The landlords fix it on one leg, and then expect it to walk rapidly forward. We do not deny that the land may be better cultivated, and sustain more persons than at present, without any increase in commerce and manufactures, but they must be persons who cultivate it to live on its produce, and not to ex change it. Encouragement to agriculture, with out a corresponding increase in trade and com merce, may fill the land • with, for aught we know, happy and healthful cottars—machines, as they have been described, six feet high, for turning potatoes into human beings; it may crowd every gentleman's estate with thousands and thousands of squatters and allottees, but we are very much mistaken if that is the sort of population, however happy in themselves, which our landlords desire, or which would increase their rents and add to the security of their pro perty. What mode of parcelling out the soil may be for the greatest happiness of the great est number, we will not venture to inquire, but for a Government which derives the greatest part of its revenue from commerce, and for opu lent landowners who revel in foreign luxuries, we can conceive no scheme more pregnant with the seeds of destruction, than one which should encourage.the cultivation of the soil for the chief purpose of subsisting those who cultivate it, in stead of growing a large surplus to exchange. But we do find fault with the continued charges in the shape of fees, and not even upon the old, but upon a new and increased scale — with the Property-tax system, now for the first time introduced of 4 per cent, on bills of costs. Fees of office and taxes upon bills, are indefen sible in principle, and ought to be abolished; The law and equity of this kingdom belong to the State—the administration of law and equity ought to be provided at the cost of the State— not of the suitor. The suitor ought to pay every charge incident to the carrying on of his suit; but the fees of office are not fairly chargeable upon him in any case. The system of fees has grown up with years, but it is not the less an abuse, and ought to be swept away. And the new plan not only continues old fees, but doubles and trebles their amount, upon matters purely of office, and for which no duty is performed. Besides this continued increased and aggrava- ted evil, in the shape of fees, the charges for co pies of proceedings, which nothing but a vicious system renders necessary to be taken avail, is trebled. A few years back the charge for copies of proceedings was reduced to IW. for 90 words; it is now raised again to 4d. Why this increase ? The wages of copying-clerks are not raised—the prices of stat►oners remain the same. To form a Fee Fund—to compensate six clerks at the cost of the suitor—to pay for services ren dered in old proceedings out of new ones, in fact, legally to rob the suitor. If the old scale of fees was sufficient to keep the six clerks alive, surely it was sufficient to keep them when dead. There could be no need first, of all of the old fees ; next, of the doubled and trebled fees; and, lastly, of the four per cent. tax. Every penny of the money so taken is extortion, and extortion for its own sake. Great efforts we learn are making in various quarters to promote the union of the working and middle classes. One of the principal means relied on is, for the middle classes to advocate a great or complete extension of the suffrage, which may satisfy the working classes. We be lieve that this will ultimately he very efficacious to attain the proposed end; and those who pro mote it inform us that they have already been, to a considerable extent, successful. We will venture .to suggest another means of promoting this object. Many of the working classes believe, right or wrong, that the Liberals of the middle classes were their most decided enemies on the occasion of their turn-out. Fo r that ill-judged step many of the Turn-outs are now paying severe penalties. They have been consigned to gaol for shorter or longer terms, and imprisonment in England is no light punish ment. Their families, who have already been great sufferers, are doomed, by their incarcera tion, to be exposed to still greater privations. We cannot speak very positively, not having ourselves visited the abodes, or witnessed the misery of the poor in the manufacturing dis tricts, but it is our belief; that at no former period within the recollection of any living man, was such heart-rending distress found in the abodes of our people. To have been more pa tiently borne, with the one great and fatal excep tion, was scarcely possible. On these accounts, those suffering women and children, arid the mistaken men, are now fit objects of com miseration. The intelligence from Madrid of tie 25th ult. possesses no interest. All apprehension of a change, or modification of the Ministry had ceased. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse on the 25th ult. at 21 13-16 15-16 at 60 days. The Five per Cents. at 27 •26 15-16 at 60 days. In the Paris papers received yesterday, the principal topics of discussion are, the proposed Treaty with Belgium, the base conduct of " per fidious Albion," and the removal of General PAJOL from the command of the first military division. In adverting to articles in the London journals on Lord ABERDEEN'S letter, tl►e Siecle and National display their usual hatred of Eng land. The latter journal sagely remarks that the letter was dictated by fear, and England has good reason for her terror, as there is no Power in Europe to which the first cannon-shot ought to appear more formidable. France, though isolated, as all the world knows and ad mits (we take the evidence even from French journals), has only to stretch out her hands • to get allies, and of all countries in the world, Prussia is pointed out as one which would be willing and happy to join with France against this country. This is the climax of national mad ness, but we will let this republican organ speak for itself:—" Should war break out there is not a single Power on the Continent to which we could not render great services, and which would not be favourably disposed to gratefully acknow ledge them. We should only have to stretch out our hand to find allies. We can aid Austria in maintaining her position, and advancing in the valley of the Lower Danube, from which Russia is endeavouring to force her. Prussia can also be assisted by us in her just design of becoming a maritime power, and it is quite possible for us, in unison with her, to work out the resurrection of Poland ; and to Russia herself, we can offer our assistance in her progress in the East. Such arc the bases on which we can, whe►► we please, make arrangements with whichever of tl►e Great Powers we may select. And as to the secondary Powers of Europe or America, who can doubt, that it would not be easy for us to form a vast coalition with them, and so cover the world with enemies to the English monopoly." _ _ We understand that there is something like a project on foot to raise a fund to alleviate the misery of those whose protectors have fallen under the heavy hand of the law. There is no longer any pretext for severity. Its supremacy has been vindicated, and mercy should to the extent of its means bind up the wounds the law has inflicted, when to keep them open is no longer necessary to the public safety. It would be an act of kindness on the part of the middle classes—it could now be in no case attributed to fear or collusion—were they to come forward and liberally contribute to any fund which shall be exclusively destined to relieving those women and children who are suffering from the confine- went of their protectors. Should any such pro ject be in contemplation, we hope it will be sup ported by the middle classes, who may at a small expense contribute to convince the work ing classes that they are not their enemies, but the enemies exclusively of disorder and outrage. At a meetin g of the Dublin Corporation, which took place on Tuesday last, in that city, Mr. APLAummx proposed " a resolution of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, for his valuable services and upright conduct during the past year," which, after being duly seconded by a gentle man named M'CULLAGH, was—says the report— " carried by acclamation." This is quite a suffi cient answer to those political enemies of Mr. O'CoNNELL, who, at the commencement of his Mayoralty, asserted that he would degrade the office he held, and become the laughing-stock of all his Protestant fellow-citizens. Not only has the Hon. and Learned Gentleman falsified all these sinister predictions, but he has acquitted himself so efficiently—with so much sense and propriety as Lord Mayor, that the Dublin Cor poration, laying aside for the time those strong political prejudices with which so many of them arebeset, have come to a unanimous determination publicly to thank him for his " valuable services and upright conduct," while occupying the civic chair. But fifteen years ago, and the man who should have prophesied that a Catholic agitator —and that agitator, Mr. O'CONNELL t2ShOUld achieve the honour of the Mayoralty, and re ceive the thanks of the Protestant Corporation of Dublin for his conduct during his year of of fice—the man, we say, who should have pro phesied this, would have been looked on as the wildest visionary, fit only for the meridian of Bedlam ! Of all the strange political change s and innovations that have taken place within our memory, the strangest is undoubtedly that of Mr. O'CONNELL, the Catholic emancipator and Repeal agitator, into the pacific, orderly, magis terial Lord Mayor of Dublin ! We doubt whether even that remarkable individual—the " oldest inhabitant"—can remember any change equal to it. Galignani, in alluding to this article, quietly remarks :—" Notwithstanding a vigilant atten tion to the English papers, we have nowhere been able to discover this dread of a war which the National attributes to them. That a desire for the continuance of amity with this country is generally felt and expressed, we are happy to admit ; but of the dread of hostilities so largely talked of by our bellicose Contemporary, we per ceive no symptom whatever." Time Journal des Debats, alarmed at the ga thering of monopolists in Paris, makes the fol lowing statement : " The addresses, the petitions, and the Committees of Protection, appointed with so much display, have little contributed to dissipate the alarm thus excited, and we behold a veritable manufacturing congress assembled at Paris, while the commercial towns raise loud cries of distress, as if trade were on the eve of a St. Bartholomew. Undoubtedly it is easy to perceive what is false and exaggerated in such a state of things, ,but the most resolute will acknowledge that it ought to be taken into consideration. The evil already ex ists ; in spite of the best suggestions, and in spite of the facts which the discussion has brought to light, the manufacturing classes deem themselves threatened with a great danger. The duty of the Government, in such a case, is to adjourn, to temporise, to treat. We are persuaded that the interests at present most alarmed will not, in the end, have much reason to congratulate themselves should they gain what they may call a victory." - - - Marshal SOULT'S letter of dismissal to General PAJOL is severely commented upon by the Op position prints. The Constitutionnel alludes to the services of the General in accomplishing the July Revolution—a service which at least ought to have entitled him to the everlasting gratitude and confidence of the KING. " The green old age," it adds, "of General PAJOL promised to l s i e is rv M ice AJ : E a S n T d Y N n y l i a la ni ev ill e o r r m e a y y ea b rs e ogo the ei od and iieri loyal tofhis a s u l c o c n e g ss o t i r i , n N e v ic nd h m w u e c d h o t a n i o e t n d e t o n y a , c t will re quire a ire the exir p u larity of the late Commander of the First vision." The Royalist journals remark that Ge neral PAJOL has only experienced the same fate as LAFITTE and LAFAYETTE. " Those who have dismissed hint," says the France, " would have been nothing without him. General PAJOL, like many others, has only to regret fa . , tl s l y e stem, ingratitude, Nviiicl after twOve years' services, o lie contributed in a great degree to establish. It is not for us, certainly, to regret that the July system' is shaking those who were its most zea lous partisans, for time has dispelled, and will dis pel, many illusions." The Moniteur contains the official notification of ithe appointment of General TIBURCE SEDAS TIANI to succeed General PAJOL, 711iS en disponi. bilite. COURT CIRCULAR. The Six Clerks' office has long been considered as totally useless for any other purpose save that of giving credit to needy solicitors, and adding costs to suitors. On the 10th of last Au gust au Act was passed entitled " An Act for abolishing certain Offices of the High Court of Chancery, in England," and by that Act an end was put to the Six Clerks' ofiice. Large pay, without work, had been the rule of the Six Clerks; pay for the suitor, play for the Six `Gterkq ; and it was naturally expected that the extortioners being defunct, the extortion would follow them to the grave. But, vhat will be the indignation of the public when tl ley know, that so far from the abolition of the SAX Clerks' office beinga benefit to the suitor, it ill be a curse — that the d o i ng away of the fees paya bl e to t h e Six Clerks has only been preparatory to the im position of additional increased lees payable to other officers —and that an al:awe, too glaring longer to be borne, has only given way to other and more aggravated abuses—tlt at, in short, the operation of the Act, carried is to tax the suitor s in tlteCourtc u t ' o t f b a i t at s tce order,ryt to a very considerable amount') We do not think that the introduction of the ready money principle is an evil— -we consider it a good. The Six Clerks' ga ve credit to the solicitors for office copies of bills and answers, frequently to a considerable amount, and a sort of premium was thus given tc. proceedings in The following is the reply of the veteran Ge neral to the letter of Marshal SOULT, announcing his dismissal : " Monsieur le Mareehal Soult—You have made known to me that the command of the First Division was about to be taken from me. I was not pre pared for this decision ; but it is a satisfaction to me to reflect that it will be come to after order and the greatest tranquillity have reigned in Paris for more than three years. My seise of my own per sonal dignity has never allowed me to set any value on my services, and if for a moment I call your at tention to them, it is not— I earnestly beg you to believe—to protest against an unmerited disgrace. Having been a soldier for fifty-two years, of which I have been a Lieutenant-General for the last thirty years, I was in the three last campaigns of the Empire so happy as to obtain signal successes at the head of numerous corps of the army, and it is well known that I was in the first line of Generals-in- Chief for whom the Great Captain destined the baton THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1842 ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH QUEEN COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, Nov. 3. The Belgian steamer British Queen came into our roadstead this morning soon after one o'clock. She has only eleven passengers. She was detained five days at Fayal for a supply of coals.

LORD MORPETEI AND THE AMERICANS.-.4t is said that Lord Morpeth is preparing his observations on the Americans for the press. The opinions of so distinguished a statesman, so honest a politician, and so good a man, with regard to the Americans and their institutions, would be particularly useful at this period. All c l asses o f politicians would look with anxiety, and b e pre p a red to receive with reverence the ballot and " th e man mffrage in America opinion with regard to the working oi his Lordship' s points that will inevitably . be brought forward and discussed in the next session of Parliament.--Shef. field Iris. of Marshal. I might, perhaps, have been warranted • - in hoping that the Government of July would grant SUMMARY OF NEWS' me this reward, and thus realise an intention openly manifested by the Emperor. Far from acknow ledging- these claims, M. le Marechal, you seem dis posed to deprive me suddenly of a post, in which I have, during twelve years, passed through great diffi culties. A retreat thus preceded, has nothing re doubtable in my eyes.. I have already known ad versity. My long career will not have been without glory. My fellow-citizens will ever do me the justice of testifying that I have constantly served my country with the most disinterested devotion. Therefore. however rigorous may be the lot which awaits me, I shall meet with resignation the sentence with which I am threatened. I am, with respect, &c. " Oct. 26. Le Lieut.-Gen. PAJOL." Tuesday being one of the four great holidays of France, the Bourse was closed. Few specu lators were at TORTONI'S. The Three per Cents. were done at 79f. 85c. AND 1)40W Optitton. TOREIGIV. Intelligence had been received at Constantinople, according to the Augsburgh Gazette, that the Shah of Persia had accepted the mediation of Great Britain to arrange the differences between him and the Otto- man Porte. The new Russian and Turkish tariff will come into operation on the 19th of July next, by which Russia continues to secure the advantage of 3 per cent. on exports and imports, instead of 12 per cent. paid by other nations. The election of Prince Alexander in Servia is defi nitively confirmed at the Porte, and messengers have been dispatched to invest him with his dignity. The King of the French arrived in Paris on Mon day, and presided at a Cabinet Council. 111. Dillon, lately announced in the London Gazette as Consul of France at Newcastle, was formerly pri vate secretary to M. Guizot. A Toulon letter states that the relic 3 of St. Au gustin were embarked at that port on the 25th ult. for Bona, in the steam packet Gassendi, attended by the Bishops, who came with them to Toulon. The `Gassendi was escorted by the steamer Tenare, and it is said that they will both touch at Cagliary, in Sar dinia, to receive the stone which covered the tomb of the Saint. . The Phalange, a French paper, announces that the negotiations for a commercial treaty between France and Belgium are absolutely broken off. This de plorable abandonment of a grand idea took place at the Council on Sunday last. The Independent of Brussels states that Wolff, who left London' some days ago under suspicious circum stances, had come to a compromise with his creditors there, by paying them down 30 per cent, on their claims, and securing to them, by mortgage of houses he possesses in that city, a further dividend of 20 per cent. at a future day. The effective force at present composing the garri son of Paris, amounts to 20,000 men. Owing to the acknowledged inefficiency of the pre sent penal laws in France for the repression of poach ing, and the petitions from all parts of .the kingdom, some more effectual enactments are expected to be made in the ensuing sitting of the Chambers. The Duchess of Orleans has not yet come to Paris sincesthe disaster of the 13th of July. The greater portion of the town of Zechanow, in Russia, has been destroyed by fire, and 300 families reduced to destitution. All the Legations of Holland have received instruc tions from their Government to make inquiries at the office of the foreign • journals which announced the pretended shipwreck of the Austrian frigate Bellona, in order to ascertain through what channel they re ceived this false intelligence. The Session of the Belgiam Chamber will be opened on the Bth of this month, by the King in person. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post has the following remarks : " In rather an odd place for the mention of statis tical facts, namely, in the review of Alfred Tennyson's poems, in the late Quarterly, we find it set down that during the last twelve years some seventy millions of money have been expended in the kingdom upon the making of railroads. This is a fact of immense im portance in considering the causes of the present con dition of the working people of this country. The huge expenditure upon railroads has now nearly ceased. So long as it continued, it operated pretty much as the loans did during the war, without the disadvantage of adding to the national debt. It was an expenditure on the part of capitalists which went chiefly into the pockets of the industrious classes, and gave bread to many a poor hard-working man, who might otherwise have starved, or have gone upon very short allowance. This expenditure counteracted in a great degree the effect produced upon the wages of labour by the competition of machinery in manu facturing industry. If millions were withdrawn from the working classes by the reduction of manufactur ing wages, as they certainly Were, millions were added by the expenditure on railroads. The disease con tinues, but the remedy has ceased. Hence the ex traordinary pressure of the last two or three years. The disease is a want of circulation of the wealth of the country among the lower classes." The following is from the Times :—" A document has reached us, of which we know not whether it is to be regarded as a trick (none of the canniest) of that very unscrupulous thing called ScotchWhiggery, or as one of the desperate and convulsive movements with which the Nen-Intrusion principle gives token that it is tottering to its fall. It rejoices in a stupen dous name, second in cumulative dignity to nothing which we remember, except, perhaps, the Titanian Waterloo Caesarean Evergreen Cow Cabbage—it is the " Address of the Glasgow-Church-Defence-and- A n ti-patronage-Electoral-Association,' to the 'Friends of the Church of Scotland.' Its object is to persuade those whom it addresses to elect no bellies or provosts at the municipal elections, who are not fast Whig- Radicals in politics, and staunch adherents of Messrs. Cunningham and Candlish in religion. We much suspect that some persons will be found at the bottom of the affair, whose minds are not so entirely elevated above sublunary things, but that they have a squint in the corners of their eyes for some snug little jobbery or other in their own native towns—so far from self evident is the connexion on which they insist between zeal for the Church, and office-bearing in the corpo rations." The Chronicle says:—" Liberal politicans would bestow education universally. They would give knowledge in counteraction of the wickedness that will arise from ignorance. They would respect the religious differences which render an uniform creed teaching impossible in this country. All that the case allows they would do for all • leaving the profes sional teachers of the various theological systems to supply the doctrinal deficiency. And here Toryism interposes. Its maxim is, no creed, no school. The barrier thus raised to the universality of education, is insurmountable. To some it is granted on terms that engender hypocrisy ; from others it is withheld altogether. And 3 0 'Toryism, believing humanity to be depraved, ministers to its ignorance and bigotry. It lays hold of, and acts upon'," that which it discerns of evil." MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. The meeting of the London section of the Church Missionary Society took place onWednesday inßishops gate-street. The receipts for the past year amounted to 1,2391., a sum of 2,9611. having been already sub mitted to the parent Society. A meeting of the Proprietors of the West London Railway was held on Wednesday in the city. In come, quence of the reduced price of labour and railway materials, the engineer hopes to complete the works for 25,000/. The markets for agricultural produce at Spalding, and the surrounding districts in Lincolnshire, are in a very depressed state. At Lockerbie market the show of cattle exceeded any previous year, but the prices were low, and the buyers few. 'The importa tion of foreign cattle at our ports continues on an ex-. tensive scale. From Rotterdam alone 229 head of cattle have been imported during the week. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. A memorial, Tigiied by many barristers and soli citors, has been sent to the Lord Chancellor, urging the removal of the Equity Courts from Westminster to Lincoln's Inn. Those occupied by the Vice-Chan cellors are found to be very inconvenient. ECCLESIASTICAL. Dr. Turton, the new Dean of 'Westminster, will be installed on Tuesday next, in Westminster Abbey. LAW AND ' POLICE. James Gosbell, Edmund Smith, and Frederick Shackelford were indicted, together with Robert W. Beaumont, Charles Sidney Smith, and John Lewis Batchelor (not in custody), for conspiring to obtain goods and merchandise from various drapers, mercers, lacemen, and perfumers, to the amount of several thousand pounds. The evidence against them has already appeared at various times in The Sun. The Jury found the whole of them guilty. Judgment was respited until next session. The Judge then sentenced Shackelford, who was convicted at the last sessions, to twelve calendar months' imprisonment. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The Temple Church, which has just been restored, was erected by the Knights Templars in the eleventh century, after the model of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem. It was first repaired in 1682, and next in 1810. COURT-PASIZIONA.BLE. The Duke de Guiche arrived at Gore House on Tuesday from Chillingham Castle.

The sale of braces and other articles made in part, or in whole, of caoutchouc, is an important branch of the hosiery trade, and a company having a patent is fiursuing retailers for penalties.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—His Lordship sat in the Court of Chancery yesterday for the first time since the long vacation, and we are exceedingly happy in being able to announce that the Noble and. Learned Lord has nearly regained his usual good state of health. The Chancellor has been suffering under severe indisposition, but for the last three weeks his medical attendants have not considered it necessary to continue their visits, and his Lordship has resumed his regular diet. We may also state, and we can do so confidently,,, that there is no founClatien whatever. for the reports which have appeared in the news papers relating to his Lordship's intention of resign ing the Great Seal. This announcement will give great satisfaction, not only to Counsel practising in the Court over which the Noble and Learned Lord so ably presides, but to the Bar generally.
