N -~ THE STJN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1834. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1834. There were some stern home-truths told yesterday at the Court of Common Council, which will not be without their due effect on the country. The almost unanimous feeling of the meeting was that of a decided hostility to a Tory Administration, springing from a very natural conviction that a Tory, to be serviceable, must be an apostate—to be consistent, a bigot ; and that, in either case, he was not a man to whom the reins of Government could be safely com mitted. Mr. AsnußsT spoke at length, and with considerable energy on this point. As for Alderman BROWN—poor Alderman BROWN !—he cut just the sort of figure that one expects to see a Tory cut, in the present forlorn condition to which the tribe is reduced. He inferred that the Duke of WELLINGTON possessed all the qualifications of a splendid statesman, from the fact of his having patronized the splendid ap proaches to London Bridge. Matchless logician I As well might this Solomon of an Alderman have ar gued that Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER could not fail tobe come a consummate General, from the circumstance of his having ridden a milk-white charger up and down Cheap side a few years since, when the Reform Bill first came under discussion I The resolution to which the Common Council unanimously came yesterday, namely, that of an Address to his MAJESTY, deploring the dismissal of the late Cabinet, will convince the provinces —did they still need such conviction—that the Metropolis is not behind them in the task of wholesome, constitu tional agitation. A remark of one of the speakers at this important meeting, that it is worse than absurd for the country to wait to see what are the Duke of WELLINGTON'S intentions before they condemn him, is admirable, and deserves to be borne constantly in remembrance during the present critical posture of affairs. The Bath Chronicle of Thursday contains upwards of four columns of conservative speeches, delivered at a dinner of the " Bath Church of England Lay Asso ciation," which was eaten by nearly an hundred guests at the White Hart Inn, in that city, on Tuesday last. The principal speakers were all Officers, holding com missions in the army, who, cursed with ennui, and now and then being subject to severe twitches of conscience for receiving-pay for,lyhich they return no equivalent to the country, have Mostlaudably betaken themselves to the study of theology, and now hold forth over a can of grog, or a dish of turtle, in defence of the divine right of Parsons to Tithes and First Fruits. Thcre is something so excessively ludicrous in these profane and scandalous exhibitions, that we are rather inclined to pity than to despise those who take a pro minent part in them. Only think of the gross absur dity of a public dinner to make speeches in defence of an ecclesiastical establishment, in a large and populous city, where the only person judged most qualified to fill the chair is an officer in the army, and all the leading orators are his subordinates in the same profession, or in the navy. Really the Church is at a low ebb in deed, when it requires support from such a quarter. But we would respectfully remind such officers as have graduated in a course of divinity, that the coun try pays them for a very different kind of service from that of delivering maudlin lectures on Church politics. It would be also as well for those Churchmen who encourage this sort of mess room ranting to take notice that the Church is dis graced by such defenders. The recent change in the British Cabinet has re animated the King of HOLLAND with hopes of yet being able to recover possession of Belgium. Having always refused to recognise the independence of that Kingdom, and knowing well the opinions entertained by the Duke of WELLINGTON on the conduct of the late Ministry, in taking part with LEOPOLD and the people of Belgium, his MAJESTY already begins to make preparations for recovering possession of his lost territories. The King of HOLLAND places implicit reliance on the concurrence of the Duke and the Eng lish Tories in the scheme which he_ is preparing to execute, so that the change which has just taken place in the English Cabinet may lead, among other events, to the renewal of the war between Holland and Bel gium. We have not yet heard whether the States- General concur in the warlike disposition of their Sovereign. . Among no class of the community has the present treacherous attempt to undermine the liberties of the people, and to re-establish the reign of corruption, darkness, and despotism, excited so deep a feeling of distrust, so determined a spirit of resistance, as among the Dissenters. Nor is this wonderful, the Dissenters have ever been the staunch friends, the strenuous sup porters, both of civil and religious liberty. They have struggled hard and suffered much in its defence, and these struggles and sufferings have rendered it doubly dear to them. They now see it endangered both by the open assaults of its avowed enemies, and the in sidious machinations of its pretended friends. They are therefore buckling on their armour every where— every where preparing to " 'quit themselves like men" in the approaching conflict. In the metropolis, in Birmingham, and Norwich, they are adopting the most active and energetic measures. An address issued in this latter city is now before us. It is too long to be inserted entire in our columns, but we cz.tro.ot the two following passages, which we recommend to the attention of those who are speculating on the result of a general election : " That horrible faction, which ever since the accession of the Stuatts to the throne of England, has trampled upon the sacred rights of conscience,---substituting forms and cere monies for personal religion,—the acquisition of rich benefices by the clergy, for diligence and usefulness in their stations,— acts of parliaments, for evidences of the truth,—and ignorance and superstition for the exercise of the faculties of the mind ! —that faction which to effect its iniquitous purposes, and establish its demoralising power over the souls and bodies of Englishmen, has again grasped the reins of Government in this country, from whence it had been driven by the unanimous voice of the peaple !—That faction, which to force the con sciences and enslave the minds of the people, created the Star Chamber, the High Commission Court, and passed the con venticle act, the five mile act, the corporation act, &c., that hypocrites, sycophants, and tyrants might enjoy the spoils and become rich at the expence of your forefathers I—that faction, which rather than relinquish one jot or tittle of its present im mense and ill gotten revenues, is again about to try its strength with the people. • `"' • " The Dissenters are sufficiently numerous in every town in England, to turn the elections in favour of men of liberal principles. Be but united and firm in support of your own just rights and the rights, of your fellow men, and victory is certain. For the love then that you bear to your country, for the honour of your religion, and for the sake of your princi ples as Dissenters, come forward manfully, contend earnestly against bribery and corruption, make any sacrifice for truth and liberty, and your country will honour you, mankind will bless you, and posterity will remember you with gratitude." The Paris Papers of Wednesday have been received this morning. They contain no local intelligence of any importance. The Chamber of Peers are pursuing their inquiries into the origin of several secret Societies and dangerous Associations, the proceedings of which have lately attracted more than the usual notice of the Government. They are at present engaged with the Association of the Rights of Man, which was re-orga nized in Paris in 1833, and connected with others of the same kind at Lyons, St. Etienne, Montbrison, Gre noble, Auxerre, Bourg, and many other cities and large commercial towns throughout France. The number of persons under prosecution exceeds 2,000. Prince TALLEYRA ND is in no haste to return to Paris, and is doing all he can to delay his arrival in England till affairs here become settled. He is a cun ning old fox, and sees well from the present state of public feeling in this country, that the Duke of WEL LINGTON. occupies no very safe position. His Excellency, therefore, instead of proceeding direct to Paris, has gone to sojourn for some days on an estate belonging to his niece, the Duchess de DINO. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pasts, Nov. 26.

They are filled with despatches of the Cortes, and local decrees. The daily bulletins state that Queen DONNA MARIA and the Duchess of BRAGANZA are in good health. Bayonne papers of the 22d inst. have been received, which bring intelligence of several recent advantages gained by MINA and the tr oo p s un d er hi s comman d. The rumour of an immediate change in the Madrid Cabinet still prevails, coupled with a positive assurance that ToRENo will be at the head of the new Ministry. German papers of the 26th inst. have been received, which state that the Diet of the German Confedera tion have decreed that all those who took part in se parating Belgium from Holland shall be banished out of the Confederate States, and that this decree shall be first executed in the Grand Duchy of Leuchten berg. The execution of this decree is to be com mitted to the King of PRUSSIA. A formal intimation of this decree, with the form in which it is intended to be executed, will, as a matter of course, be for warded to St. James's. VIENNA, Nov. 17.—Five per Cent. Meta Piques, 991 ; Four per Cent., 91k; Bank Shares, 1,233. —AI/genuine Zeitung, Nov. 22. We published a few days ago a very able and temperate article from the Journal du Commerce, a well-informed French paper; on the " Commercial relations between England and France." The mono polists in both countries amuse us by their objections to a principle which neither of them understand ; and the attempts to reconcile them to the sight of each other, is almost as humorous as the combat between Pallet and the Physician in Peregrine Pickle. "Fo reign competition would ruin our manufactures," cry the English monopolists, " for in France the people pay no tithes—few taxes—they have no national debt suspended round their necks, and as for rents or rates, —why, they could hardly tell you the meaning of such terms. In short, they are able to undersell us in every article, and to admit their goods would be equal to the passing of a law for starving every mechanic in the United Kingdom." Now turn to the French mono polists, and what do you hear ? " The English," cries some M. TIIIERS on the other side of the Chan nel, " are plentifully supplied with cheap and excel lent coals, and in this they have more than a counter balance for all the advantages which we possess. Add to this, their workmen are more steady and laborious than ours, and their machinery is infinitely superior to what is constructed in this country. The trade with England has already all but ruined us, so that if you would preserve the interests of France, away with all commercial intercourse with England." This is really the style of argument adopted by both parties. They are mutually ruined by each other, and with them al, classes in their respective countries. 'We of the liberal press who advocate a system of free trade, based on the broad and well-defined principle of mutual reciprocity, say to each, " show us your books, and if you will permit us to balance them fairly for you, we will convince you that you have gained instead of lost by the past intercourse of the two nations." But no. Their brain cannot find space for more than one idea, which is with them an universal axiom—namely, that if they gain, the other party must lose, and vice versa. The monopolists can never perceive how two nations trading with each other are mutually gainers by the same transaction. You cannot make them un derstand the plain and simple fact, that if we do not accept French wines at a cheap rate, we must purchase other wines instead, at a much higher price. The great blunder of which they are perpetually guilty, is presuming that France exports no articles but such as are manufactured in this country, and that, conse quently, the question of free trade is one which merely involves a power of competition between the manu facturers of two commercial countries. Before the duty on French wines was lowered, we purchased the very same wine at Lisbon which we might have been supplied with at Bordeaux, paying the merchants who supplied us a handsome profit for carrying it from France, over and above the price at which we could have bought it directly ourselves. The same piece of exquisite policy was acted in the case of French fruits, cambrics, laces, and several other commodities which we could not produce in this country. The monopo lists never look beyond the Custom-house books or the course of the Exchange between the two countries. If the exchange is against France, or our exports greatly exceed our imports, well and good ; France is losing ; but if the course of Exchange is against us, then are we ruined. This is the whole basis on which the monopolists rest. Now both these guides are most fallacious. As an example look to our present trade with Ireland, and see ill what condition the Custom-house books place the trade of both countries. Tried by this rule Ireland is ruining us, for her exports to England are much greater than her imports. But why does Ireland ex port more than she imports ? Because the great bulk of her landed Aristocracy reside here. Her exports are made in payment of debts which may be said to be owing to this country. The course of exchange may therefore be in favour of a country when she is abso lutely ruining herself by her trade. There is no such thing as determining whether a trade between two na tions is beneficial or otherwise, by a balancing of Cus tom-house books or exchanges. If France, by send ing us cheap wines, was to enable us to ship off all our own liquors to the Colonies, where there would be a great demand for them, then would we gain, al though France did not purchase a single article in exchange, and so leave the balance of trade entirely against us. But it would he a waste of time to enter into the merits of this very important question, before the public mind is prepared to receive the argu ments on either side. The present excitement must pass away before we can do justice to the liberal policy which, we trust, will guide every future commercial re lation between England and France. A public meeting of the electors of the borough of Birmingham, and of the Northern Division of the county of Warwick, is called, by placard, very numerously and respec tably signed (by many of the first men in Birmingham, Whig and low party) to be holden in the Town Hall to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock, which no doubt will be attended by multitudes of all ranks. The object is to form a committee who are to take measures, so as to be prepared to ensure the return of men of liberal principles, in case of the anticipated dissolution of Parliament. Sir Francis Burdett, Bart., is at present confined to his room, at his seat in Derbyshire, from which circumstance he was ignorant of the letter sent to him, requesting him to affix his signature to the circular of the Metropolitan Members. The lovers of fiction will be much gratified by the new Romance, from the admired pen of Miss Landon. Her present story (" Francesca Carrara") is one of the deepest interest, and involves scenes of mystery as profound as those which raised to so lofty a height the fame of Mrs. Radcliffe. But to this quality of the " Enchantress of Udolpho," Miss Landon adds another, which her great predecessor was quite unable to command, inasmuch as the pathos and grandeur of the latter authoress are set off by the wit and animated bril liance of the dialogue in many of the incidental scenes of her plot. It is reported that, at the ensuing anticipated election, no less than six gentlemen intend to solicit the suffrages of the electors of Southampton.—Sherbourne Journal. SWALLOWING A DECREE.-Last week, two bai liffs executing a decree against a County Roscommon Magis trate, at the suit of Mr. Richard O'Keefe, of Galway, were violently assailed and obliged to swallow the decree and some other papers of great importance.—Connaught Journal. The following occurrence took place on the 9th of the present month at Formet, near Aix :—The Sieur Damo yet had been for two years attached to a young lady, the daughter of an advocate in the town, and arrangements had be,Gin made by the mutual consent of all parties interested, by which the nuptials of the young people were fixed for the 3d of next month. Damoret had spent the whole of the Bth inst. in the family of his betrothed, and had appeared more than usually kind to his young mistress. In the evening he took a most affectionate farewell of her, and promised to return early the following morning to accompany her in a rural ex cursion to a neighbouring village. Punctual to his appoint ment, he came at ten o'clock, and the two went out together. Not having returned towards evening, the parents of the young lady resolved to despatch some work-people to find them. No traces of the young people could be discovered, till the fol lowing morning, when in a little wood by the side of the road they found two bodies, which were soon recognised to be those of the unfortunate lovers. They were both quite dead, and a medical commission which met the same day gave it as their opinion that their death was occasioned by poison. The mo tives of the young people for committing so dreadful an act are difficult to be surmised, as neither of them were poor, or had experienced any misfortunes which could prompt them to self-destruction. This is another instance of the dreadful aberrations to which the human mind is sometimes so unac countably subject. —.Gazette des Tribunaux. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) CASWELL V. DUNCAN This was an action for the recovery of a sum of 511. 12s. 6d., brought by the plaintiff, a surgeon, residing in Nelson-square, 81ackfriar s-road, against a widow lady for medicine and medical Attendance. The plaintiff went out to India in the Bentinch, in the year 1832, in the capacity of surgeon, and the defendant was a passenger in the same vessel in the voyage home. Mrs. Duncan was in delicate health during the voyage, and her complaint re quired frequent medical attendance. The plaintiff attended her professionally during that period, and for several months after her arrival in London. This was the ground of action. The defence was, that the plaintiff had borrowed large sums of money at va rious times from the defendant. _ _ . Sir JAmv.s SCARLETT and Mr. CoalYN appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. MauLE for the defendant. Several witnesses were examined to prove the attendance of the plaintiff upon the defendant, and two or three professional gentle men deposed that the charges in the plaintiff's bill were on the whole fair and reasonable. • . • • . Mr. MAuLE, for the defendant, contended that the plaintiff should have either proved that he was in practice prior to the year 1815, or produced a certificate from the Apothecaries' Company to entitle him to recover. Sir JAMES SCARLETT maintained that the plaintiff had not acted as an apothecary. He kept no shop, and it was in evidence that the medicine prescribed by him had been prepared at a neigh bouring druggist's shop. For the defence Mrs. Gordon, a servant in Mrs. Duncan's em ployment, proved the payment of sums of 101., 51., and 3/. by the defendant to the plaintiff. A letter requesting a sum of Si. from the plaintiff to the defendant was also put in and read. Sir JAMES SCARLETT replied. Lord DENMAN addressed the Jury. The principal question for them to consider was, whether the plaintiff was entitled to recover at all—whether the visits paid by him were professional or merely as a friend ; and secondly, whether if they were professional the plaintiff had not been already sufficiently remunerated. The Jury, after deliberating for about ten minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 51/. 12s. 6d. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) After the opening of the Court this morning, Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLin stated that having been requested to superintend the elec tion of six additional inspectors of weights and measures, with Sir JOHN GIBBONS, on the preceeding day, he had to report the names of those returned, which could not have been ascertained until a late hour last night, from their having been 87 candidates, and 94 Magistrates who voted. Sir Joms availed himself of that opportunity of removing an impression that had gone abroad, through the public press, as to its being impossible to carry the provisions of the Act into effect, and consequently that it would be useless to attempt it, or to increase the number of inspectors for that purpose ; such observations had certainly been made by individual Magistrates in that Court, but he wished to protest against the recognition of any such doctrine, as it amounted to neither more nor less than an encouragement to a disobedience of the law, and was calculated to mislead those persons in business who used weights and measures, as they had been given to understand that they would not be fined more than one farthing for not having their weights or measures stamped by the time pre scribed by this Act. This was encouragement to them not to take any trouble in making any endeavour to have them so stamped, and it was also calculated to do considerable injury to the inspectors, who must be put to considerable expense in making the necessary arrangements for the proper execution of their respective duties, and it was also calculated to reflect upon that Court, if such a doc trine was allowed to go forth uncontradicted. As regarded the penalty of one farthing, he had already expressed it as his opinion that such a fine would in certain cases be sufficient, such as that of a tradesman making all due diligence in endeavouring to get his weights and measures stamped and not being enabled to succeed: in that case he thought it would be the height of injustice to punish a man for not performing an impossibility ; but if, on the other hand, no attempt should have been proved to be made, or no application to an inspector, then he thought it imperative on the Magistrate to inflict a severe fine. He wished also to correct an impression that appeared to have gone forth, as to its being the opinion of the Magistrates of that county that this was an Act introduced by the late Ministers, and that it was disgraceful to them, as an Hon. Baronet had been pleased to term it, and another Hon. Baronet, more charitably disposed, ob served—" De mortuis nil nisi bonum ;" this last word he thought it would be justice to change, as De mortuis nil nisi verum would be more applicable, for the measure was not a Ministerial one, but; was introduced by a private individual unconnected with Govern ment. He ( Sir John) did not appear there as the champion of the late Ministers, or desirous of reflecting upon their successors ; but when he heard animadversions of an unfounded nature going forth from that Court, he for one wished it to be understood that such were not participated in by the Magistrates throughout the county. As his opinion as to the late Ministers was that— Whateer reflections on their conduct fall, Look on Reform, and you forget them all. (Hear, hear. )—As that was probably the last opportunity that would offer of the subject being introduced in that Court, he did not wish to let it pass without making some observations which in common justice to all parties he considered it to be his duty to make. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.S NEW COURT. Joseph Lay was indicted with stealing, and Reuben Martin, the ex-pugilist, was also indicted with having received (knowing it to be stolen), a great coat, belonging to Edward Hodd. The coat was valued at 30s. The evidenee of the several witnesses tended to prove that the bargain for the purchase of the coat by Martin of Lay, was done openly in the bar of the Boot public-house, Milton-street, which house is in the occupation of Martin. Two other persons offered 16s. and 18s., but on Martin offering 21s. and a glass of brandy and water for it, he became the purchaser, and afterwards sold it for 255. The coat was stolen on the 27th October, from the prosecu-- tor's gig, which was the day previous to its coming into the posses sion of Martin. The COMMON SERGEANT said that there was no evidence against Martin, who was acquitted by th e J ur y. L ay was f oun d G u ilt y . The Common Sergeant refused several of the police constables their expenses, who appeared to p rove p o i n t s o f no ma t er i a l evi dence, and declared that he must put a stop to the practice of bring ing forward so many unnecessary witnesses, and that there were more policemen ( witnesses) who came from Worship-street Office, than any other office of the metropolis. Mr. PHILLIrs said that the Policeman who had lost many days in looking after Lay ought to be an exception. The Court expressed its sorrow for the man, but a public duty, and the public interest compelled them to adopt the course they had THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. As the wind has come round to the westward we may soon expect numerous arrivals from all quarters. Our arrivals this morning are one French, one Holland, one Ostend, and a mail from Lisbon by the African which sailed on the 16th of November. _ The accounts from Lisbon are of a very favourable nature. Some squabble had taken place in the Cabinet • but soon after the parties shook hands, and the differences were adjusted to the satisfaction of the people of Lisbon, and every thing is again going on in a regular train ; but we are sorry to state that a murder was committed in the streets on a Miguelite, by a party of Pedroites, under the very nose of the authorities.

In the City, we are still in the dark respecting the measures which will be adopted by the new Tory Administration, and no doubt this uncertainty will continue until after the arrival of Sir Robert Peel, who is looked for in the course of next week, and all reports must be looked upon at present as stock-jobbing manceuvres. Consols opened at the price they left off, 91i ; Spanish 541 1 ; Portuguese 8.5 a 4. This is settling-day in the Foreign Market. Although money is very scarce, the Account appears to be going off easy. We do not, as yet, hear of any defaulters. Generally, on settling-days, reports are in circulation, and it is stated, that two expresses have arrived from Madrid, but as yet we cannot trace their foundation. HALF-PAST ONE. We have endeavoured to trace the general report of the two expresses from Madrid this morning, but to the present hour our search has been in vain. All we know to a certainty is that a letter has been received from Madrid of the 19th inst., which states that the Spanish funds there have improved, particularly the 4 per Cents., which were 60. There was every expectation that the Spa nish loan would be taken. Confidence had been restored by the great weight which the Spanish Ministry had over the Chamber of the Procuradores, as well as by favourable accounts received from their army in the North, under Qeneral Mina. The above information has had the effect to improve the Spanish and Portuguese securities here. Spanish may be quoted 544 ; Portuguese, 854 $. Consols have continued steady the whole of the morning at 91 1 for money, and 91% 1,4 for the account. The chief operations are confined to the Foreign Market ; and the speculators in Spanish are in daily expectation of an express, with the result of the taking of the Spanish Loan at Madrid. The Foreign Account continues to go off well. Exchequer Bills have receded from 33-9 to 35. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols for the Account, 91 1 to 91N 1,4. THE FUNDS.--CLOSING PRICES.

Heynes, his surgeon-apothecary, has been in attendance this last fortnight. Expresses were sent on Wednesday night to Sir Henry Hal ford and Dr. Ferguson, of Windsor ; another was sent yester day morning to her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchesses of Glou cester, with their usual consideration for the comfort of the poor of this parish, a few weeks ago regaled above 200 chil dren belonging to the charity schools, with joints of roast beef and mutton, pudding, and beer. The health of their High nesses was given after dinner, with cheers, which were hear tily responded to by the numerous persons in attendance. The Duke and Duchess appeared to take a lively interest in the scene. His Highness was observed to look very ill, and we regret his indisposition has gradually increased since. After dinner every variety of rustic sports was afforded for the amusement of the .children. Colonel Currey, with his usual affability and kindness, presented each of the visiters with prizes, and used every praiseworthy action to animate and en liven the scene. Mr. Richard Jackson, of Ross, in Herefordshire, was this week admitted an attorney of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer, and also an attorney of his Majesty's Bankruptcy Court of Review. An inquest was held on Wednesday, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, at the sign of the Panther, Hope Town, Bethnal-green , on the body of Elizabeth Collyer, aged 13, who was frightened to death by some boys on Thursday. Ro bert Houghton, a weaver, living in Thorold-square, stated that be was looking out of the window of his house, and saw four lads " larking" with a basket such as hawkers carry caps and bonnets in. It was made of wicker, lined with oil-skin. The deceased came by, and two lads, named Jepp and Platt, took the basket away from another boy named Sadd, and put it suddenly upon the deceased's head. They did not pull her about. She threw the basket off her head, and walked away. She did not appear hurt or frightened then, but looked very red in the face. It appeared, from the evidence of the father of the deceased, and the medical gentleman who attended her, that on returning home she complained of a pain in the head; inflammation of the brain ensued. She lingered until Monday morning, and during her illness frequently desired the persons about her "to take the big basket off her head." A few days before her death she became insensible. The father acquitted the lads of all evil intention, and stated that one of them, Jebb, had manifested great sorrow at the result. The Jury returned a verdict of " Natural death," and, at their request, the co roner sent for the lads, and reprimanded them for the wanton trick which had evidently produced so fatal 4 result.—New castle Chronicle, SMITHFIEL This day's supply was moderatA ther brisk, at the following B MARKET. ely good, and the trade was ra- PRICES rim STONE OF BLB.

This morning the defendant appeared in Court before the Com mon Sergeant, in order to put in bail to answer an indictment pre ferred against him for a public nuisance in Fleet-street. He read the bill carefully over, and conversed freely with Mr. Newman the City Solicitor. The gentlemen who presented themselves as bail were Mr. Ro berts, a stationer in Oxford-street, and Mr. Cousins, a bookseller in King-street, Seven Dials. They were examined by Mr. Payne the barrister as to their circumstances. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 27 .--Last evening, sailed the Portuguese frigate Braganza, of 40 guns, Captain Bux ton, for Lisbon ; and at the same time, sailed the .Esperanzu schooner, a private v esse l , captured by the Curlew sloop-of war, on the coast of Africa, for the same place. The latter vessel has boon given up by the captors, for though no doubt exists that she was detained under every possible suspicion of guilt, yet such is the uncertainty and contradictory orders of the Admiralty and maritime code of instructions, relative to slavers and pirates, that a great doubt existed of her being con demned in a co urt o f justice ; she is therefore sent to Lisbon under charge of Mr. Adams, a mate of the Victory, with a crew of seventeen seamen, at the expense of Captain Trotter, who eaptnreil her, COURT CIRCULAR.
