The subject of the Church revenues and pluralities would appear to be one of very great interest, if we were to judge only from the mul titude of pamphlets we receive on such topics. The former branch will, we trust, be early con sidered in a Reformed Parliament, and the latter is already, to a certain extent, provided for by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S Bill. His Grace should have had the boldness to have urged their total abolition, instead of their partial diminution, but we, nevertheless, give him credit for sagacity in following the temper of the times to the extent that he has done. Neither should the conduct of Lords ELDON and TENTERDEN be forgotten, who voted against the clause in the Archbishop's Bill, limiting the distance at which joint livings might be held, to thirty miles, al though the first mentioned Learned Lord, in a speech on the Stipendiary Curates' Bill, on the 21st May, 1813, said " why not enforce the residence of the incumbent, by declaring that it he did not reside he should forfeit the living. That there should be a resident Clergyman in every parish was most desirable." Yet the Learned Lord doubts whether thirty statute miles is a proper distance within which the hold ing of pluralities ought to be limited ! The letter° f the Rev. Mr. HULL, of Liverpool, to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, on the Bill to restrain pluralities, is well worth perusal by those who take an interest in the subject ; especi ally the following passage, which attacks the Archbishop with much force:— " The Bill, which your Grace has proposed for this end, enacts that no person in future shall hold more than two benefices, whatever may be their value in the King's books, and that the churches of such two benefices shall be within thirty statute miles of each other : and your Grace con ceives that, by these means, the number of parishes now deprived of resident incumbents, owing to pluralities, will be reduced from 2,100 to 700. The distance between the benefices of a pluralist, which are above Si. in the King's books, being now measured from the boundaries of the two parishes, the distance between the churches may be con sidered as fifty miles. Your Grace is thus represented to have expressed your sentiments upon this point If fifty miles is the distance at present allowed, and thirty as lessened by the Bill, every church may he considered as the centre of a circle, of which the area will be in propor tion to the diameter, and in this particular case the greater circle will be to the smaller as about one to three ; and consequently, the number of benefices, now tenable to gether by dispensation, will be less by two-thirds than at present. Allow a similar reduction for livings under Si. (which I conceive to be under the mark,) and we may fairly conclude that the number of pluralists will, in the end, be reduced from upwards of 2,000 to about 700.' " Now it is plain that your Grace did not express your self in such terms as these. Your Grace, no doubt, said, that as the areas of circles are in proportion to the squares of their diameters, in this case, the area of the greater circle would be to that of the smaller as about three to one (25 : 9) ; and from this fact your Grace concludes that the number of benefices now tenable together by dispen sation will be less by two-thirds than at present, and that the number of pluralists will, therefore, be reduced from 2,100 to 700. " I am afraid, however, that your Grace's conclusion is somewl.at too hastily drawn. Granting that the number of benefices now tenable together by dispensation will be less by two-thirds, it will not necssarily follow that the number of pluralists will be diminished in priportion. I much fear that we shall see such selling and buying, and chopping and changing of livings, especially among the great men of the nation, in order to suit their eeclesias. tical property to the smaller circles, as will in great mea sure defeat your Grace's intention, and probably bring some sc indal upon the Church. " But even supposing that this great reduction contem plated by your Grace may be accomplished, and that only 700 clergymen shall be permitted to be absent from their benefices in consequence of pluralities, I still venture to ask whether your Grace is prepared to justify this permis sion upon principle?' " The ecclesiastical property in every parish was set apart by law for the maintenance of a resident minister, who should instruct the people in their duty, edify them by his example, keep hospitality among them, and comfort and relieve them in their distresses. " With regard to pluralities, they are contrary to all the ancient canons of the Church, and were contrary to the law of England until the passing of the 21 Hen. VIII. And since the passing of that Act many efforts have been made to abolish them in the reigns of Edward VI., Elizabeth, James 1., Charles I. and Charles 11. During the reign of Mary, and dining the Commonwealth, they were totally abolished ; and by three several Acts of Parliament, passed in the reigns of James 1., William and Mary, and Anne, the Universities are restricted from pre senting any clergyman, already in possession of a benefice with cure, to another such benefice, which under certain circumstances might be placed at their disposal. " Hence it must be evident to every one, that the evils arising from pluralists have long been sufficiently glaring. I beg, therefore, respectfully to ask your Grace, whether you are prepared to defend 700 of them upon principle ? i. e., whether you are prepared to show, either that there is nothing wrong in a clergyman's receiving, for doing nothing, property set apart for the maintenance of a resi dent incumbent, and paying to a hireling, to whom he commits the care of the parish, the lowest sum which he is perniitted to pay ; or that the good which arises from enriching some of the clergy with the reve nues of two benefices, is greater than the evils which arise from the non-residence of incumbents, the poverty of curates, and the shameful system of single duty, which prevails to so lamentable an extent ? If your Grace is not prepared to establish one of these positions, it is plain that the Bill which you have brought in is not founded on principle." We have also before us a pamphlet of con siderable erudition, entitled " Church Revenues Revealed, or the True Origin of Tithes," by Mr. OWEN OWEN ROBERTS, of Carnarvon, which though in some respects of local interest, handles the question in a very able manner, and very strikingly illustrates the fallacy of such notions as the intactibility of tithes by Parliament, under whose authority they were taken from the Ca tholic Church, to whom our ancestors had dedi cated them, and appropriated in a manner which, upon the whole, has but little advanced the true interests of Christianity. Well may it be doubted whether the Reformation was not a mistake, when we reflect on such facts as the following stated by Mr. ROBERTS : " The number of abbeys, monasteries, hospitals, and other ecclesiastical establishments seized by Henry the Eighth, and alienated during his own and the succeeding reigns, amounted to upwards of 1,180, whose estimated value (exclusive of 300, the income of which not being specified cannot be correctly estimated) amounted at that time to upwards of 210,800/, equal in the present time, independent of improvement, to 4,216,0001., to which if there be added 1,405,3331., the probable proportionat e an nual value of the 300 before referred to, will make upwards of 5,620,000/., out of which 3,743,000/. ought to be ex _ pended annually towards the support of the poor, and in repairing and ornamenting the Church, before a single rate should be levied for that purpose, or the overseers and churchwardens allowed to touch a single farthing of parish money. " As to the present revenues of the Church of England, I shall not take into account those of bishoprics, colleges, deaneries, and chapters, nor money levied upon houses in large towns in lieu of tithes. The number of rectories, vicarages, perpetual curacies, and benefices, not being p a _ rochial, is 11,338. The number of acres in England and Wales 37,094,400 Barren land 5;299,200 31,795,200 Exempt from tithes (modus abbey land, &c)... 3,179,520 Total average subject to tithes " The amount of the farmer's produce to enable him to live, must be at least equal to three rents, which valuing the titbeable land through England and Wales after the deductions, at ten shillings an acre— Will make £42,923,520 The tithes, or tenth part of that rate, will be 4,292,352 Ditto, valuing the land at 12s. Ditto, ditto, at 14s. " When we divide the amount by 11,338, we shall find that at ten shillings an acre, there would fall to each rec • tory, vicarage, perpetual curacy, and extra parochial in cumbency, 378/. ; at 12s, 454/. ; and at 14s. 5301. and upwards. The total income of the Established Church, including bishoprics, colleges, deaneries, and chapters, glebes, tithes, and other sources of revenue, will amount upon the most moderate calculation, to upwards of 9,000,000/. sterling, annually; two-third parts of which, 6,000,0001., ought to be expended in addition to the pro portionate share of the alienated properties, above men tioned, towards relieving the poor in justice both to God and man, as well to the rate-payers as to its receivers, be fore any assessment or parochial imposition should be al lowed or permitted :—common honesty demands it. Why should the public be subjected to the maintenance of the poor, the aged, and the infirm, and to the repairs of the Church, until funds legitimately intended for that purpose, have been previously so applied ? Poor laws were un known in Popish times : the disgrace of converting to their own use what belongs to the poor and the stranger was reserved for the Protestant ministers of the Church of England, as by law established." The following are extracts from Lisbon and and German Papers, received this day:— OFFICIAL. Lisßox, Nov. 6.—Extract from the Order of the Day : " Head-quarters, Palace of Queluz, Nov. 5. " By a sentence of the Court-martial, created by decree of the 21st August last, SO criminals, whose names are embodied, were condemned to death, as having belonged to that part of the extinct 2d Regiment of Infantry of Lisbon, which in the night of the 21st August last com mitted the crime of rebellion against the Royal person of the King our Sovereign, and contrary to the oath which they had taken ; whose punishment his Majesty, by a decree of the 26th October last, hereunto annexed, was pleased to commute, which the said Court, in its sitting of the 29th October, declared to be conformable to the crimus of those individuals. (Nimes of the criminals.) DECREE OF 26TH OCTOBER, REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING. " The third sentence having been submitted to me, which has been passed by the Court-martial which I created by my royal decree of 24th August last, to try the individuals of the army who were in any manner ac complices in the horrible crime of rebellion, which part of the 2d Regiment of Infantry of Lisbon, now dissolved for that purpose, committed in the night of the 21st August, I am pleased entirely to confirm the said sentence; but my paternal heart being constantly inclined to show the effects of my royal clemency whenever it can be reconciled with the honour of my royal dignity, and with the good of my faithful subjects, I am pleased to commute to the pena immediate the capital punishment pronounced by that sentence on the thirty criminals whom it concerns. The said Court-martial declares the above sentence con formable to my royal decree, indicating the destiny of the said criminals to whom I have been pleased to extend my clemency, to be executed without delay. Palace of Queluz, Oct. 26." (With his Majesty's signature.) The Court-martial has sentenced two persons to banish ment for life, and acquitted eleven others, chiefly officers, either for want of proof, or because they were in a state of constraint among the rebels. The Gazettes, to the 12th of November inclusive, con tain no news whatever. PosEN, Nov. I.—Since the Polish army under Gene ral Hybinski entered the Prussian territory, moat of the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Posen, who went to juin the Polish army, have returned to their old places of abode. Among them is the generally esteemed General Nirengiersk, who latterly filled the post of Minister of War at Zacroczyn. Eye-witnesses speak in high terms of the Polish artillery, and of the military appearance of the men in general. Among them are three females who have the rank of officers. We are greatly surprised at seeing al most all our countrymen of higher rank who had joined the Poles, with few exceptions, return quite well. Theugh it is well known in the severe combats the Polish army has been engagA, those individuals speak with great reserve of the recent events in Warsaw and Zacroezyn. General Krukowiecki is generally designated by them, perhaps without reason, as the person to whom the last disasters were to be attributed, and by whose intrigues the scenes of the 15th August were brought about, in order to get pos session of the chief authority, by which he was enabled to take the steps that he afterwards did. We hope the final decrees against the inhabitants of the provinces who joined the Poles will shortly be revoked, as the Austrian Government has set the example. Our chief President goes to-morrow to Berlin. whither be is summoned by a Cabinet order of the King, to make proposals to the Government on this subject. We hear but little that is new from Warsaw, the communications by letter beintr, as may easily be imagined, very scanty. Persons formerly holding civil offices are everywhere resuming their functions. Nov. 11. VIENNA.—CHOLERA. New cases. Recoveries.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Bombay Parrs to the 30th June have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. ' (Vrom the Bengal Hurkaru of the 10th of June.) We • publish the Government advertisement, announcing a Fear per Cent. Loan, which is to be as before, and an absorber of all the Five per Cent. Loans. Great surprise now begins to be manifested at the non-arrival of the Honourable Company's ship Herefordshire, the last ship of the season, as it is known she sailed with the Hithe, BOMBAY MARKET. Metals are still on the decline, Copper has been more steady ; about 150 chests of Opium arrived a few days ago, and some part of them have been sold at prices varying from 1,450 rubles to 1,475 rubles per chest. the market for European goods con tinues depressed, and the articles are at a discount average of 20 per cent. A public meeting was held of the East Indians, at the Presi dency, to petition Parliament for the removal of the disabilities under which they labour.

THE FUNDS. Although the Dutch steamer has arrived, we are still left in the same darkness in regard to the intentions of the King of Holland.. It appears that he continues obstinate, and we have not the least hint that he will sign the 24 articles as yet. We hear by private information from Paris that the Russian Ambassador there has been speaking rather too freely on the creation of the new Peers, and gives to understand that his master will disapprove of the said creation; but we cannot con ceive what the Emperor of Russia at prelent has to do with the internal state and regulations of France, as the has acknow ledged her present ruler. A mail from Lisbon has arrived, sailed on the 13th November, by which we do not hear of any important news as yet. Consols, which left of yesterday at 8314% for the Account, opened at 83%. At present they are 83 4 %. The chief busi ness doing is paying and receiving accounts. We have one more failure this morning in the house, of no great importance. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. The estafettc letters this morning from Paris have brought ac counts of some disturbances having taken place at Lyons, amongst the weavers ; the troops were called in, and said to have fired on the rioters before the tumult was put down. A letter has been received from one of the first-rate houses at Amsterdam, by the steamer, which gives great hopes that the King of Holland will soon acknowledge and sign the twenty-four articles. We do not hear of any news from Lisbon. Since our last was written another failure has been announced on the Stock Exchange, but not of any magnitude • this makes four since yesterday. Consols have been fluctuating since the morning from B.”i to 8.33 i ;at present they may be quoted 83 %, with little doing. for money, 83h. In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds are rather lower. THREE O'CLOCK Consols, 83i COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) COMMITMENT OF A BANKRUPT.—IN RE HARROD. Mr. MONTAGU appeared for the prisoner, John Harrison Harrod, a bankrupt, who appeared upon a writ of habeas corpus, to move for his discharge. The prisoner was brought up by the gaoler from the gaol of Kingston-upon-Hull; he was committed by the Commis. goners for not satisfactorily answering, and Mr. Montagu sub mitted that his Lordship must discharge him, on the ground that the gaoler had made no return of the cause of commit ment. He had merely brought back the writ and the Com,. missioners' warrant. Mr. ROSE (contra) considered thepractice to be, where there had not been time for the assignees or gaoler to make out a proper return, that the prisoner should, on such occa sion, be remanded until sufficient time had been allowed for the making of the necessary return. In this matter the writ of Habeas issued on the 9. 0 -d last, and since that time it had been served at Hull, and the prisoner brought into Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not agree with Mr. Rose. If what he stated was the practice, his Lordship might be detaining an individual in prison, and sending him back. wards and forwards from time to time, who had never been a bankrupt, nor ought ever to have been sent to prison. Again, on looking at the writ, he could not fall in with the accuracy of Mr. Montagu's statement, that there had been no return made. It appeared to the Court that the return was full. Mr. MONTAGU then argued the question upon the me rits. He submitted that, independently of documents having been referred 4o in the questions and answers which had not been set forth in the return, the whole of the examination must be taken as satisfactory. Mr. ROSE contended at considerable length that the com mitment was a valid commitment; that there could be no doubt that there were answers set forth to questions also stated, which could no more have been taken to have been satisfactory by the Commissioners than they could be taken to be satisfac. tory by his Lordship. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that cause of commitment was sufficiently set forth on the face of the return. Mr. MONTAGU then availed himself of the provision of the Act of Parliament, which gave him the power to call on his Lordship to take the trouble of reading through the whole of the examination before he pronounced judgment against the prisoner. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had no alternative. The Learned Counsel had a right to call on him to read al the examination through, and as he had done so, he (his Lordship) would do so between this and Tuesday. His Lordship's strong impression at present was that the prisoner must be remanded, that he might have the opportunity of giving more satisfactory answers. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of Michaelmas Term, his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took motions to.day. The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning with motions made by gentlemen behind the bar who on this day are entitled to precedence), which were chiefly for the pay. ment of money in and out of Court, and matters of course totally devoid of any interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS disposed of up • wards of twenty consent causes this morning, which possessed no points of any public importance, and proceeded with the part. heard cause of the Attorney-General v. Ward, which came be fore the Court upon exceptions to the Master's report. The case had not terminated when our reporter left. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LETHBRIDGE v. MYTTON. In this case two actions had been tried, in which the plain tiffs, as the trustees of a marriage settlement, sued the defendant for a breach of the covenants of that settlement. By the terms of the settlement the defendants undertook to discharge the ak tate of all incumbrances, but a charge of ten thousand pounds in favour of his daughter by a former marriage within a year after its execution. At the expiration of a year it appeared that he had discharged the estate of the 10,0001., and not of the other incumbrances, which amounted to 9,4001. The Jury in the last action returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 9,400/, On a former day Mr. Wightman obtained a rule, call ing upon the defendant to show cause why the damages should not be increased to 19,400/. by the addition of the 10,0001. Mr. FOLLETT showed cause against the rule to-day. He submitted that it could never have been intended that the trus tees should receive the estate disencumbered of the 10,0004, be cause that of course would make it worth so much more. The defendant had paid off that sum, and if the verdict should be allowed to be increased to the larger amount, the defendant might be taken in execution for it. Mr. WIGHTMAN, in support of the rule, contended that the ten thousand pounds should be left to abide the trusts of the marriage settlement, in which a contingency was provided for in case of the plaintiff's daughter, who was now thirteen years of age, dying before she attained the age of twenty-one. Lord TENTERI)EN was of opinion that the trustees should have the benefit of the ten thousand pounds under the marriage .settlement ; he recommended that an assignment of the ten thousand pounds should be made within a month from this time, to be paid to the trustees in ease the young lady should die before she attained the age of twenty-one years. • Mr. FOLLETT agreed to that course upon the execution being stayed. . _ Lord TENTERDEN—Of course. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, on behalf of the 1 Bishop of Exeter, for a criminal information against a person named John Clouter, who was churchwarden of the parish of StokeDamorel. It appeared there had been some disputes between the parishioners and rector of that parish, relative to the conveyance of a piece of ground, which it was the wish of the parishioners to have converted into a burial ground, and the Bishop of Exeter had interfered with a view solely of settling those differences. For:that purpose a case was submitted to'the consideration of Dr. Lushington, by whose advice his Lord;hip said he would be g overned, and the decision was against the pa rishioners. Other applications were made to the Bishop, who, acting under the advice of Dr. Lushington, refused to accede to their request. On the 19th October the parishioners met (the defendant, as churchwarden, in the Chair), for the pur pose of deciding respecting a church rate, and at that meeting a resolution was adopted, containing such language, that, if it were tolerated, it would cease to be a wonder that public persons became the object of popular feeling. It was to vindicate his character that the Bishop had thought it his duty to apply to this Court. The Learned Counsel then read from a newspaper the resolution in question, passed at the meeting, which stated " that they regretted the statement of Mr. Itodd relative to the burial-ground, in which the Bishop had so far forgotten his duty as to deny the parishioners that justice which they had a right to expect—namely the sanction of the deed of conveyance, that they reprobated such conduct, and that a vote of censure be passed upon the Bishop for acting so dishonourably and degradingly." This resolution was ordered to be entered in the parish books, and ordered to be published in the Plymouth and Devonport papers. The Learned Counsel concluded by saying he had the affidavit of the printer, stating that the defendant had deli. vered him the advertisement and ordered it to be printed. Lord TEIsITERDEN—Does your affidavit state the defen dant ordered its publication ? ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It does my Lord. Lord TENTERDEN—Take a rule to show cause. CONSISTORY COURT-(THIS DAY.) NEALE v. NEALE. This was a suit promoted by the Hon. Lady Mary Caroline Neale (daughter of the Earl of Shaftesbury) against her husband Joseph Neale, Esq., for a separation on the ground of cruelty, The cause has excited much interest in the fashionable world recently. -- - - Mr. DODSON, on behalf of Lady Mary C. Neale, opened the case. It was a cause promoted by his party for a divorce, on the ground of great cruelty. The question was the admis sion of an allegation, pleading the facts to which opposition was to be offered. _ . . The KING'S ADVOCATE, on behalf of the husband, said this was one of those unfortunate cases in which the party ac cused had, in the present state of the proceedings, no opportu nity of reply. The facts stated in the libel which had been given in were taken to be true. lie made this observation in order that it might not go out to the public that these facts were capable of full proof. The form and substance of the libel were extremely objectionable, and he was prepared to state that they did not set forth sufficient ground for a separation on the ground of cruelty. In the month of June last Lady Caroline Neale corn. menced a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights, and in July Mr. Neale was assigned to take his wife back. On the 11th August the parties separated, and a citation was served on Mr. Neale immediately. The articles in the libel were numerous. The first pleaded the marriage of the parties by special license on the first of the present year, in Warwick Castle, and in the two others the usual pleas of cohabitation, &c. were set forth. The others went on to plead, that Mr. Neale commenced treating his wife with coldness, indifference, and harshness—but she had subsequently, nevertheless, instituted a suit, the husband having separated from her, for the restoration of conjugal rights. It was pleaded that Mr. Neale had left his wife at Warwick Castle without previous notice—merely saying, " I wish you good morn ing, I am going to London." The Court must recollect, that this was a suit for separation on the ground of cruelty, and Mr. Neale did not retuir. to cohabitation till the suit alluded to had been commenced. The Earl of Shaftesbury aware that some differences existed bet ween hi s d a ughter and Mr. Neale, sought some explanation, an d M r. N ea l e sugg ested that they should se parate, observin g th at Lady C. M. Neale had expressed a desire to that effect. To thi s i t was answere d ,t h a t s he might have sa id so i n a moment of irritation—that a separation would be preferable to live in such misery, and hear such insulting and opprobrious language. All this, observed the Learned Civilian, occurred before the suit for the restitution of conjugal rights. Then what were the acts of cruelty to be so greatly complained of by the lady ? Mr. Neale was attending his duty in Parliament and could not go to see his lady, but subsequently he refused again to live with her, and Earl Shaftesbury received a letter from Mr. Neale to come to some arrangement with respect to the separation and maintenance. The real secret soon after came out—the lady would not accept the terms offered, being so advised by her friends, as insufficient to maintain her sta.. tion, and it was now averred that Mr. Neale commenced a serifil of injuries, insults, and indignities, to compel his wife to SMITHFIELD MARKET• This day's supply of Beasts was rather numerous for that of a Friday; of Sheep, Calves, and Porkers, moderately good.

Great preparations are making to celebrate the approaching nnptia!s of Viscount VALLETORT and Miss FIELDING, at Bowood, and at Laycock Abbey, in Wilts. The ceremony it is now understood will be per formed in the chapel at Bowood, where the Marchioness of LANSDOWNE will entertain a party of distinguished friends on the occasion. Lord VALLEFORT, we believe, is a godson of his Royal Highness the Dnke of CUMBER LAND, from whom he received the baptismal appellation of EAatirsT AUGUSTUS. His Lordship became heir appa rent to the Earldom of Mount Edgecumbe by the unex pected death of his elder brother, RICHARD WILLIAM Viscount VALLETOF.T, who died unmarried in 1818. The Zoological Gardens in the Regent's Park arc going to be enriched with many native and exotic shrubs and flowers. Three thousand choice bulbous roots have recently been imported by the Council from Holland, and very extensive orders have been sent to America and to Italy for a collection of their most rare shrubs and flo were. In order to put a stop to the misrepresentations that have been, or hereafter may be made, respecting the price of coals in the North, it has been resolved to publish on the first Monday in every month, the actual prices of the London chaldron at Newcastle and Sunderland during the preceding month. The necessity of such a measure will be at once admitted, when it is known that, notwith standing the exorbitant price in the port of London, the highest prices per London chaldron of twenty-six and a half cwt., charged by the coal-owners, free on board, have been for the best 16s. 3d. ; second best 14s. 3d. ; third rate 10s. 9d. ; inferior 95..3d.

Neates bed, though the inen were told it was her's. The bed Wag, hoiVeVer put tip afterwards. These and many other acts were pleaded, whirl/ he (the King's Advocate) contended were not acts of cruelty, thimgh they might have been harsh. The reason why Lady C. M. N r eak did not accept the maintenance Offered was, because it was not in iitoportion to the wealth of Mr. Neale. it bias further pleaded, that re.. ports were circulated injurious to the character of the Lady by the Open and ostentatious desertion by Mr, Neale, that Mr. Neale took no steps to rebut the calumnies, and that he was only compelled to carry on it suit against the Satirist for a libel on Lady Neale, commenced by Farl Siiiftestairk; when he was threatened by Lady N.'s brother, that It Mit riot do so a certain alternative would result. A great nunitler of letters had been referred to, but why, he (the King's Advocate) asked, were they not produced ? The Learned Civilian at great length stated many other grounds of complaint, which he Contended were of a petty nature, and could not support the libel. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Court, Lord Lyndhurst gave judgment in the case of the Attorney-General v. Jackson, which was argued yesterday. The defendants were left an estate for themselves and heirs, subject to an annuity of 5001. a year. The Crown claimed the legacy duty on such annuity, amounting to 971. 10s. It was argued that this was real property, and did not come within the meaning of the Act, which imposed the duty. The COURT were of a different opinion, and gave judgment for the Crown. BALNE AND ANOTHER v. HUTTON AND OTHERS. In this case the Court also gave judgment. The plaintiffs are assignees of a bankrupt, and the defendants the Sheriff of York shire, the High Bailiff; and the judgment creditor. An action Was brought against them for a seizure which they made of the goods of the bankrupt, after he had committed an act of bank. ruptcy, but long before a commission was sued out against him. The Court went at very great length into the merits of the question, and considered all the cases on the iubject, from the time of William and Mary to the present time. They considered that the Sheriff was protected by his official charac ter, and was not to be made liable unless it could be proved that the Commission had issued previous to the seizure, he only acted in a Ministerial character under a writ directed to him from a Court of Justice in the King's name, and it would be no good return to such writ, for him to gay that the party had committed an act of bankruptcy—of course what applied to the Sheriff, also applied to the High Bailiff; for he was an officer acting under the Sheriff. If this was not so, actions might be brought against a Sheriff many years after he had quitted the office, and there could be no saying how far this might be carried. With the judgment creditor, the Court were of opinion the case was different, as he acted not on compulsion as the others did, but willingly and at his own risk. They therefore were of opinion that the judgment should be against Ingham, but in the cases of Hutton and Jewison, the judgment should be for the defendants. Mr. FARROW made an application on behalf of a person named Capps, that he might be relieved from the payment of 401. for a forfeited recognizance. The affidavit stated that Capps was bound in a recognizance of the above sum, to appear and prosecute one Sarah Smith, at the Old Bailey, in 1825. The deponent stated that he attended the whole of the Session daily, and on the last day he saw the case in the paper in the New Court, where he attended all day, and the case never came on, but next day he found that it had been tried in the Old Court, and the prisoner acquitted. He had seen the Recorder on the subject, who promised that he Mould not allow the recog nizance to be estreated—but he appeared to have forgotten it. The Court granted the application. RULE OF COURT. An order was read to-day which states that the office of the Exchequer of Pleas shall be open during term and for a week after, from eleven o'clock in the forenoon till three o'clock in the afternoon, and from six till nine in the evening, at other times to be open from eleven till four in the afternoon.

At an early hour this morning this office was literally be sieged by the populace, such was the extraordinary degree of excitement that prevailed in the minds of the public to ascer tain the result of the proceedings in the interior relative to this diabolical affair. Shortly after ten o'clock the four ruffians arrived at the office under a strong escort of officers. At about eleven o'clock G. ROWLAND MINSHULL and THOMAS HALLS, Esqrs. took their seats on the bench, which was crowded by county Magistrates and other gentlemen. At precisely twelve o'clock Mr. MINSHULL ordered Dodd, the gaoler, to bring the prisoners forth. Bishop entered first, followedby May, Williams, and Shields. Mr. Corder said he should first prove that Williams had a joint occupation of the house in Nova Scotia- gardens with the prisoner Elehop, to prove which, he called Sarah Truby, *vile of William Truby, of Nova Scotia.gar dens, Who stated the houses Nos. 1, 2 , 3, in these g ardens, bc lone* io frei ltttsband, find she let No. 1, to Bishop, and Nc 2, to the piThiner Williams ; the garden communicated with each other, and the; . hact frequently seen Williams in Bishop's house ; she let the hetrge' No. 1 to Bishop's wife in July, 1830; she could not state positively that Williams lately resided in the same house with Bishop, but she had frequently seen them By Mr. Corder—Williaing No. 2, about two months ago, together in Bishop's gailien• sometime.. t i e the rent, and e house in t)se ;avme,...,cuep wpohiscshesstiionineosfhtehehaldiofurs: que ß n y tly m s r ee; f h iN im sH an u d L hLs wßifieshaotpßishop 's house: sometimes his wife paid it.

Robert Mortitnet, of Nova Scotia-gardens, a tailor, had turned a coat for the prisoner Williams, and at the time be told him that he lived at Bishop's, and he (witness) believed be did so reside up to the time of his apprehension. William *dodcock, the elder, a brass-founder, resided at No. 2, Nova ScotiLlterdens, the hottee in which Williams had formerly lived ; the prity of his house it actessable by Bishop and Williams, who lived together in the house adjoining. About half-past nine o'clock on the night of the 2d instant he went to bed, and at about three o'clock in the morning he was awoke, and distinctly heard three voices ihS Bishop's house, as d heard a tremendous struggling. The moratlit after the strug gling had ceased he heard two men go out a the house, and heard them return again in a short time to Bistrers house, and then all was silent. He had seen Williams frequently at Bishop's house, and he had every reason to believe that one of the voices he heard was that of the prisoner Ihllliame he thought so at the time. Mr. BURNABY—Can you tell if the staffing took place in the first floor, or—Witness—Oh, no, it took place in the front parlour. The prisoner Williams—There was a row that night saitelle Bishop broke the things, and I ran out foe a policeman io quiet them ; and I took Mat my looking-glass for fear he should break it. _ _ The witness continued—On the Sunday after the prisoners were taken into custody, the wife of Williams asked him to lend her a shilling, stating that she had been disappointed in some money. The prisoners were taken on the preceding day (Saturday). Thomas Wigby of No. 17, Cock-lane, Smithfield, porter at the Cross Keys Inn, Wood-street, Cheapside, remembered the night of Friday the 4th instant ; he was sitting at the Fos. tune of War in Giltspur-street, in the tap-room. About half past seven o'clock, Bishop and May came in—Bishop said tcy May, " What do you think of our new one, don't you think he is a staunch one now, did'nt he go up to him well ? I told you he was a staunch one, you stick to me and I will stick to you. I know the other's all right, he is a good un.'' In about an hour after, the prisoner Williams came in and Bishop said to May, " Here he comet, I told you he was a good one." A little before eight, Bishop and Williams went out together, leaving May in the house. May had pre viously said to Bishop, when he said " it was all right," " I don't know what you mean by all right." When Bishop and Williams went out of the house, May said he was not going home and that he should stop a bit. By Mr. Corder—He knew what the prisoners were, and be always drank with them from fear. At this stage of the business the witness exhibited signs oZ indisposition, and Mr. Minshull ordered him to be removed for a moment till he recovered. On passing the dock, he gave a significant glance at the prisoner May, and sighed heavily. Mr. Corder now stated that since the last examination an en. tire suit of women's clothes had been found in the privy adjoin ing Bishop's house, and he wished to know whether he (the Magistrate) would receive that fact in evidence. Mr. MIN - SHULL—I think not. Let the case stand as it is. Lock, the waiter at the " Fortune of War" public-house, re ' capitulated the evidence he had given on a former day. James Seagrave, the cabriolet driver, was also czamined, but added nothing to his former statement. Atkinson, the porter at St. Bartholemew's Hospital, was next examined, and spoke to the sante effect as his former deposition. The other witnesses who had been preriously examined were called in, and their depositions read over to them and signed. Davis, the porter at Gu3's hospital, wished to correct a gross exaggeration in the newspapers, particularly the Times of yes terday, relative to himself. Mr. MINSHULL said he could not listen to any thing con nected with the papers; he had better apply to the Editor of the Times. Davis said, it was a duty he owed to himself, as well as to the institution of which he was a servant, to mention the circum stance, but if the Magistrate would not hear him, he of course would submit to his determination. Whilst the deposi tions were being read over, it was observed the prisoners ap peared to pay the most minute attention, particularly May, when Mr. Mills, the dentist, was giving his evidence, in which he clearly proved, that when he (May) brought the teeth to him for sale, he admitted that they were those of a lad whose body had never been interred. The reading of the depositions occupied a considerable time and excited much interest. At the termination, the various articles found either upon the persons and at the houses of the prisoners were re-produced and again identified. . _ Corder here observed, that the greatest credit was due to the landlord of the Fortune of War, who had done all in his power in facilitating this important investigation, and of course no blame or criminality could attach to him from the circum stance of the prisoners having been at his house. Mr. Corder was then examined as to the statement made by Bishop to him at the Coroner's Inquest. At three o'clock, the evidence being all read over the pri_ soners were severally called upon for their defence, May, in a very indifferent manner said, " If Bishop pleases to speak the truth he can exonerate me from the business. Bishop replied, he knows nothing at all about it, only removing the body from my house on the Friday night. Bishop, May, and Williams were committed for trial, and Shields was discharged. Q UEEN-S Q UARE-I THIS DAY.) CAPTURE OF A SUSPECTED BURKITE. This morning James Gardener, a go-cart driver, of No. 5, Caroline-place, Lambeth, was placed at the bar under the fol lowing suspicious circumstances : Thomas Hammond, of No. I, Barrow-buildings, Blockfriars road, a boy, about fourteen years of age, stated that about eleven o'clock on the previous evening, as he was passing through Webber street, the prisoner suddenly came up to him and grasped him violently by the waist. He was dreadfully frigh tened and screamed out murder, when several persons came to his assistance, and the prisoner was secured. Witness never saw the man before. George Hunt, of the L. division, No. 93, stated that he heard violent screams in Webber street, and an inhabitant desired him to take the prisoner to the station-house. Witness asked the man why he stopped the boy, but he gave him no answer. At the station house he said that he knew the boy, shook his fist at him, and said that he ought to be Burked. He searched him and found only a half sovereign and some silver. He ap peared rather disguised in liquor, but whether it was pretended or not he could not say. A gentleman stepped forward and said that another boy had been attacked in Lambeth by two men on Friday evening, and he had brought him to the office. Charles White, of No. 2, James-street, New-cut, aged 14, stated that about half-past seven o'clock en Tuesday evening he was passing through Sutton-street, York-road. Houses arc built on one side of the street, and on the other is an open brick-field. He saw the prisoner come out of the brick-field he crossed to him and called out " Hallo !" Witness ob served that he had something in his hand like a plaster, which made him scream out, when the prisoner clapped a plaster on his face and ran into tha brick-field. Witness could scarcely breathe or speak. Another man then came behind him, caught him by the neck and tried to throttle him, twisted his handket! chief round his neck, and threw him over a railing into a _hole_ He got the plaster off and ran home, and then went to the sta tion-house. The street was not lighted, but there was suffi cient light for him to distinguish the man, and he is positive that the prisoner is the same. The prisoner in reply, said, that with regard to the last charge it was entirely false, he knew nothing about it. As to the charge made against him by Hammond, he was so drunk that he could recollect nothing about it. He had been drinking all day, and when he was drunk he was in the habit of catching hold of per sons, but he was neither a body snatcher nor a Burkite. Mr. WHITE said that it was a most unfortunate propensity to lay hold of people in such a manner. It was certainly very mysterious, and he should remand him until a proper enquiry could be made into his mode of life. The office was very much crowded, and the examination ex cited the greatest interest. —A Cabinet Council was held this day at one o'clock, at the Foreign-office, in Downing-street. PAGANINI arrived in town on Tuesday, and attended the performance of " Masaniello" at Druty-lane on Wednesday evening. The state prisoners at Ham are in good health, but they are very carefully watched. Mesdames D E POLIO NAG, DE PEYRONNET and DE CHANTELAUZE, ale at Ham, and pass the day with their husbands. Madame Da POLIO NAC is, it is said, with child again ; and the French jurists are puzzling themselves with th e question of what will be the civil quality of the child. rA .0.4-fwg*-44,04 1 *.kt4 ql :..
