1 4rt4=w , P, , r - e7-7;'" , "7, NAPOLVON. (From the Quotidienne of Monday.) We have before us a note of, M. de Chain pagny, Duke of Cadore, upon a passage in the ivlemoirsof M. de Beausset relative to the signa ture of the Treaty of Vienna, in 1809, • The author of the Memoirs asserts, that the peace was contracted personally by Buonaparte with the Austrian Commissioners; M. de Cadore •con tradicts this assertion, and lays claim himself to the honour of having concluded the peace.— Connected with the diplomatc conferences which took place to bring about that result, is an event which was little noticed at the time, and consi dered of no importance, but Which, according to the Duke de Cadore, then decided the fate of Europe. We transcribe the passage which relates to it : " Napoleon inhabited the palace of Schoen brun, at two short leagues from Vienna, and had reviews on certain days in the vast court of that palace, which attracted large crowds from the capital. He was not sorry to have an opportunity of showing himself in his power to the inhabitants of Vienna, and as he wished to please as well as tb be pleased, he was alWays' full of affability.— On one of these days, the 13th •of October— the date is important—l came to him from Vienna to transact business with him, and- after a few minutes' conversation, he said to me, lam going to pass the review, stay in, my cabinet — draw up that note that I may see it when the review is over.' I remained in the cabinet with M. de Melval, his private secretary. He soon returned, and said to me, Has not Prince Lich tenstein made you aware that . it has been often proposed to him to have me assassinated?' Yes, Sire, and he has expressed to me the horror with which he had rejected the proposal.' Well, the attempt has just been made ; follow me. I en tered with him into the drawing-room, where I saw several persons, who seemed muchagitated, and who surrounded a young man, between 18 and g'o years of age, with a very agreeable face, exceedingly mild, and impressed with candour. he alone appeared to be unmoved ; he was the assassin. He was interrogated by Napoleon himself with much mildness, General Rapp serv ing as interpreter. I shall merely relate a few of his answers-which most struck me Why do you wish to assassinate me ? Because Ger many will never be at peace whilst you live. — Who suggested the project to you ? It was love of .my country. Have you concerted it wish no one ? • No, my own conscience directed me to do it. Did you not know the dangers to which you exposed yourself ? 'knew them, but Ishould be happy in (lying for my country. You have religious principles ; do you believe that God approves of assassination ? I hope that God will forgive me on account of my motives., Is that doctrine taught in the schools you have frequent ed ? A great number of those who have fre quented them with me eke animated with those sentiments, and ready to lay dowii their lives for • the salvation of their country. What would you do, if you were set at liberty ? would slay you.' This ferocious language was accompanied with a mild tone, and a modest demeanour, without any mixture of bravado or. arrogance. . " The terrible, simplicity of these answers, the. cool . and iminoveable resolution they an nounced, and a- fanalicism so much above all _ human fears,...made upon Napoleon an, impres whidi I thought" the deeper from the cool ness he himself showed:` ``When every body had withdrawn, and I was alonessith him, after mak ' in s -n sess oloeriaiions 4 upon- so blind, yet consi derate a species of fanaticism, he said to me— ''Peac.e must be made ; return to Vienna, and. see the Austrian Plenipotentiaries. You are agreed upon the most important points ; the only . . impediment lies in the war contribution. You differ upon 50 millions ; divide the difference, : ,and if you can't do. better, get them to give '75 millionS, and conclude the peace. The last copy you showed me, I like ; add to it such.provi . sions as you may think fit. I rely entirely upon you, but make peace.' I left him. Before night the Prince de Lichtenstein and M. - de Bubna were with me ; I shut myself up with them alone. . The debate was long ; but I got million - after million from . them. After I had obtained the. Tequired 75,000,000, I -saw I might go further ; and at last they allowed 85,000,000. About iwo or three o'clock all the principal points of the treaty were agreed upon. I then called in M. de la Benardiere, the principal secretary, to write it out; and, I believe, M. Baudart to.copy if. The drawing of it up, and the copying, did not occupy long, and before five in the morning the treaty was signed : at six I was at Schoen brun. Napoleon accosted me with an air of inquietude, and said, Well, Sir, what did you do last night ?" Make peace, Sire.' What ! • peace 1 and the treaty is signed ?' Yes, Sire, here it is.' SOUTHA MPTON EXHIBITION OF PAINT- I !.7GS.—The Gallery consists of three compart ments :—an anti-room, in which, drawings, fine engravings, and a few pictures are placed ; a❑ entrance gallery, where highly finished cabi►►et pictures can be seen in a powerful light, and so close, as to permit their high finishing to be examined ; and the principal gallery. The light is good, even in the most remote parts, and it may he said that no picture is so placed that its merit cannot be fairly appreciated.—South ampton Herald. SHIP'S INMATES PRESERVED BY A BLACK BIRD.—However extraordinary it may appear, we are credibly informed that . by an unusual and discordant alarm from that most melodious of songsters, the blackbird, the captain of a ship lying at Cookson's Quay, South Shields, and his w if e , were awoke at a very early hour on Sunday morning last. They found the vessel was fast filling with water from some leak, and had only time, with difficulty,. to escape with their lives. The ship is now sunk in the river.--Tyne Mercury. EXPORTATION OF IRON AND STEEL.— There is not one branch of exports from this country, which has not been seriously reduced during the last three years, with the exception of iron and steel. The increased exportation of the raw material has long been known to the manu facturers of Sheffield, and believed by iaany to have been very injurious to the trade of the town. This opinion will be rather confirmed, than otherwise, by an examination of certain re turns that were made to Parliament, during the last - Session, in which it appears, that the exports of iron and steel, during the three years ending January 1827, had increased from 851,578/. sterling, t0:1,107,724 1 .; while manufactured hardware and cutlery, during the same period, had diminished from 214,000 cwt. to 192,000 Cwt. Au increased exportation of iron and steel, to the amount of upwards of 250,0001. sterling, in the short time of three years, affords a strong evidence of a disposition on the part of foreign nations to engage in the manufacture of cutlery and halawam—Shcgcld Courant. THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM LAMB. ,We were inadvertently drawn info an error, respecting what we said yesterday about the Free dom of the City of Dublin having been presented to Mr. Lamb. The following extract of a letter from a correspondent disproves the fact : " The next motion was to grant the Freedom of the City to the Right Hon: William Lamb: It has been the invariable practice of the Corporation of Dublin to present the freedom of the City to every Lord Lieutenant, and to every Secretary, upon his arrival in Ireland, but upon Mr. Lamb's name being pronounced a significant whistling was heard from one end of the room to the other, and though Mr. Morrison raised his voice in favour of the motion, it was unanimously scouted by all the other members, after Mr. M'Cleary, a gentleman from the North of Ireland, with a strong Scotch accent, had in a droll speech frightened the honotirable members out of their wits, by describing to them the horrors that might be expected now that this wolf had come among the sheep in the disguise of a Lamb.

Article, that great exertions are making in equipping the Russian Fleet in the Black Sea : onEssa, JULY 2. In consequence of orders received froia St. Petershurgh, the Black Sea fleet is to be immediately got ready to put to sea. Since the receipt of these orders workmen have been employed day and night in fitting out three ships of the line, and sevetal frigates, and it is expected that they will be quite ready in a few days. These measures have revived the hopes of the Greeks. According to a notice from Constantinople of 26th June, the passage of the Dar dandles is granted to the Swedish flag. English houses a re laying up large quantities of corn. VIENNA, JULY 12.—Metalliqut!s, 91, 3-16 ; B an k Shares, 1078 i. We have also, this morning, received Ham burgh Papers of the 21st inst ; they contain ac counts from Sto2kholm to the 13th inst., which express some apprehensions for the Russian . Fleet from Cronstadt, in consequence of a violent storm which had been experienced for three days front► the South West. Nothing of political importance appears in them. We subjoin ex tracts : STOCKHOLM, JULY 13. The storm which has blown for these three days past from the south west, excites apprehensions for the .Russian fleet of Admiral Seniavin, which has sailed from Cronstadt. For the Russian Ambassador, Count Suchtelin, who is gone by way of Abo to St. Petersbnrgh, it would be favourable, if not too violent. The storm has done great damage in the gardens and fields, and especially about Upsal, where it was accompanied with hail. According to accounts from Gothenburg, the crops have not been so promising for half a century as they now ant. As by the Royal Proclamation of the 20th ult. the high import duties on Foreign Corn will be again in force after the 16th instant, the' Argto calculates that the prices will be in higa, that this -Ordinance will be equivalent to a prohibition. The Gazette announces to-day the appointment of Count Lowenhjelm, late Mini ter of the Ottoman Porte, to the post of Ambassador to the Court of Austria. _ . COPENHAGEN, JULY 14. Seventeen ancient silver coins with Chaldee or Syriac characters, in excellent preservation, have lately been found in a peat moor, near Souder Kirkely, in Falater. On the 25th and 30th ult. the islands of Leland and Falster were visited by dreadful thunder storms. The fast was accompanied with hail, and destroyed the fine crops of corn in many villages about Maribo; the secon , ! was at tended with violent gusts of wind which did much damage. STOCKHOLM, JULY 13. The State Gazette of to-day contains the following No tice in the French lauguage:— The Charge d' Affairee of Spain to the Swedish Court invites the subjects of bis Catholic Majesty, who out of fidelity to their legitimate Sovereign, and to avoid the hor rors of the revolution have emigrated from Spanish Ame rica, and may have sought refuge in Sweden and Norway, to appear at his residence, or to send him their directions, that he may make to them a communication in which they are interested. FRANKFORT, JULY 15. It is reported that negotiations have been commenced between Baden, Darmstadt, Hesse, Nassau, and several other German States, for the conclusion of a convention, relative to the duties of customs and trade in genera!, adapted to their common interests. The bronze statue of Prince Blucher, after Ranch's model, which Silesia erects in honour •of the hero and of the brave army, was placed on the 9th on the pedestal at Breslaw. The statue is 10 feet 2 inches high, and the pedestal, of a single block of Silesian granite, 16 feet 9 inches. This fine monument will be fit et exhibited to the public on the 26th of August, the anniversary of the battle on the Katebach. By letters received this morning from Lisbon, by the Mail, it appears that his Majesty's ships Albion and Genoa of 74 guns, had sailed from the Tagus. The report that the Spartiate had also proceeded to the Mediterranean is not cor rect, as she and the Pyramus iemained in the Tagus when the packet sailed. The Journals at Rome have published the following, under date of the 2Sd ult., from Corfu :—lt is certain that the English Vice-Admiral Codrington has sent out orders to all the Commanders of English vessels and miters that they shall immediately proceed to the Dardanelles, where they are all to unite. A Cotemporary, in its City article; this morning, men tions, in an alarming way, the failure of a highly reputable establishment at Blackburn, as if was an event which had just happened ; it is well known that the unfortunate oc currence took place full three weeks ago. MURDER.—This morning a murder was committed near Whitechapel Workhouse, on the body of a watchman, named Dawkins. It appears a young WO man, who was being ill-treated by the murderer, placed herself under the protection of Dawkins, which AO irri tated him, that he picked up a large flint stone, and struck the deceased so violently on the head, as to cause instant death. The murderer was taken into custody after a desperate resistance. The body of the deceased was taken to the London Hospital. There is said to be one of the largest rubies ever known in the treasury at Ava ; where its beauty is increased by placing it in a bowl full of water, and con sequently magnifying its lustre. The following story is related of the manner in which it came into the possession of the Kings of Ava :-After the sacking of Pegue by Alompra, the unfortunate degraded old King, Beinga Della, whose life was spared by the clemency of the conqueror, was kept in close confinement in Rangoon during the reign of his son, and old age was fast hastening the period of his existence. Still he was an object of jealousy and fear to the Burman kings; and Shembuah, who had but just suppressed a revolt of the Peguers, was glad of the opportunity it offered to deprive them of their only head, vvhona he therefore, though innocent, ordered to be exe cuted, in 1769, as a participator in the rebellion. Awa Bock, or Pagoda Point, was the spot appointed for his exe cution, and on his waythither he was observed to be constant ly twisting what appeared to be a piece of wax in his hand, and this his attendants stated he had done during the whole time be was in prison. After the execution, curiosity in.. duced some of the bystanders to examine the wax, and in it was discovered this ruby, which was of course itumedi ately forwarded to the Court,.. Two Years at Ava. THAMES TUNNEL. During the last week the exertions and persever ance of the engineer and his assistants have , more than realized the expectations of the Directors and others interested in the progress of this undertaking. The second tier of boxes have been partially cleared, and to such an extent as to admit of an inspection, which justifies the assurance that no danger is now to be anticipated. The poling-screws and planks have been displaced, as was the case in the first tier ; but the face of the earth has happily been found solid and secure. The fortunate exertions of the engineers continuing, it has been found necessary to augment the number of men to very nearly its former quantity. A very erroneous idea exists with regard to the mode of descent adopted in this undertaking. It has been generally conceived that it is effected by means of a chair, and ropes and pulleys attached to it. The very contrary is the case. The descent is effected by means of a circular staircase, which re quires no more physical exertion than that which is exercised on the passing up and down an ordinary staircase; and being fixed round the boarding which supports and assists the working of the pumps, it is increased in power. The dimensions and extent of the shaft are also mat ters upon which the public mind appears to be uninformed. Upon proper computation, it has been found to be sixty feet in depth, and forty-six feet eight inches in diameter. It has been sunk on the south side of the river, within a few yards of Bother hithe Church. The method of commencing this operation was at once novel and hold. Preparations were made a little to the eastward of the Church, exhibiting several circles of piles ; on one circle of which rested a timber platform, destined to form the base of a cylindric structure of brick, of the dimensions already mentioned. This platform was strongly iron shod, for the purpose of pene trating the ground. The brickwork was set in Roman cement, and secured by horizontal bond hoops or iron ties, let in at the courses, at short intervals from each other, and then plastered smooth. An altitude of forty feet having been accomplished, the soil was then excavated, and hoisted from within the :•ylinder ; and, as the earth -was progressively re moved from under, the circular wall of the shaft, the whole mass was gradually stink. To continue and - i:omplete this singular operation, was a work of no small difficulty ; and in order to facilitate it by every available means, the brickwork of the shaft. was loaded with an immense additional pressure, supposed to have equalled nine hundred tons. Notwithstarding, however, every effort and precaution, it was found wholly impracticable to penetrate the dense strata of blue clay which was met with at about forty feet from the surface: The tenacity of the clay, together with the immense pressure of the surrounding earth of the cylinder, suc cessfully resisted all attempts to sink it lower, and the only alternative which presented itself, and which was adopted, was to continue the excavation co the required depth, and -to commence the brickwork at the base, underpinning that already completed. The extent'of labour and danger attending the completion of this object may be easily conceived. The diffi culties were not simply confined to mere excavation, but the progress of the, work was retarded by the intervention of some powerful land springs, which were met with on the smith side of the river, and which has since continued to annoy and perplex the work people. Perseverance, however, at length overcame every difficUlty, and the shaft was com pleted to the depth at first contemplated ; and the whole fabric was then bound vertically, by means of of 48 iron ties of great strength. In the course of another fortnight, it is expected that the full complement of men will be employed, and the excavation re-commenced. On Monday last, about five o'clock in the • afternoon, when the air was perfectly Calm, and in the ab sence of any wind beyond a light breeze, numerous parcels of hay was observed near to the town of Stafford, travers ing the air at a great height, and parcels of the same were gradually alighting; while ethers appeared like herons, winging among the clouds. The hay that tell at different parts was mostly of a light and dry quality; while other parcels were green and heavy. It must have been taken up in some tornado, or whirlwind, at a distance, to a great height.--Pottery Gazette. ANECDOTE OF LORD ELDON IN HIS You'll-I.—lt was now within a few days of the end of the Assizes at York, and both the Judges were hurrying on the business; for, at that time, the interval allotted for the execution of the commission at York was by no means sufficient, and the Judge, in the Nisi Prius Court in that city, could never get over the necessity of leaving a " legacy," as it was called, in the shape of some four or five remanets, to his successor at the ensuing Assizea._ This was a subject of reproach to the administration of the law, and Judges were very anxious to do it away. The moment was a critical one, therefore, when a case was called on, in which Mr. Scott held a junior brief. The Jury was regularly sworn; the crier had all the witnesses gathered under his box ; and the Judge looked down, ex pecting to hear some one open the pleadings. Mr. Scott slowly rose, and stated, that as the leading Counsel in the cause, the Attorney-General for Durham, was engaged all the morning in the Crown Court in an unavoidable coining ease, and would be able speedily to leave it, he hoped the Court would postpone the cause for a tew hours. " Call the next, Mr. Marshal," exclaimed the Judge in a tons 1 which, it was bell understood, imported not only " call the next," but also, " strike out the present case." Mr. Scott unfolded his brief, and forthwith proceeded to address the Jury. lle had settled the declaration in the cause him self ; therefore he was ready at stating the facts. A Mm's. Fermor and a very elderly Miss Sanstem were adversaries at a whist party, when, by some extraordinary convulsion of nature, a dispute arose. Words were the prelude to blows ; and to the eternal shame of Yorkshire gallantry, Mrs. Fermor was forced from her chair, and compelled to measure her length on the floor of the apartment. The great point in the cause was, to ascertain who gave the first blow ; and all the evidence, that which she produced her self included, led pretty directly to the conclusion, fiat Miss Sanstem was the original assailant. The case was, indeed in the general opinion, pretty clear against the young lady. The Judge was now about to stun up, when the adverse Counsel took an objection to the form of the declaration. The chief count alleged, as it appeared that the assault was committed by the hand of the defendant; and this expression ran through the remaining counts. Now the testimony of every one of the witnesses went to show, that if any violence was inflicted by Miss Sanstem at all, it was by flinging the cards in the face of Airs. Fermor. Here was a fatal va riance; and the Court and Jury, and all the busy amici curice were stock still. Mr. Scott, at length, rose with a face of the best possible huinour,whilst every body thought it should have exhibited the marks of disappointment. " Very true, my Lord ; with her cards did Miss Sanstem commit this breach of the peace ; we never meant to state any thing e l se ; for surely your Lordship need not be told—the gentlemen in that box hails not to learn, at this hour of the day—that, in the common parlance of the card table, a hand means cards. She did, my Lord, assault the plaintiff with her hand of cards." A buzz of applause succeeded, and was gaining in strength, as the .ludge appeared to admit the validity of the explanation ; for the injury to Mr. Scott's client was a very gross one, and excited the sympathy of the audience in her favour. In the libations, the same evening, by which witnesses, client, solicitor, and numerous friends, celebrated the triumph, the young Counsel was deeply re _ membered. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 21 , , 1827. Dispatches were this morning received from Lieutenant-General Sir H. W. CLINTON to the 7th inst. The army remained at Lelia, Thomer, Torres Novas, Torres Vedras, and Lisbon, and were in excellent health. Accounts had been received at Lisbon that an insurrectionary movement had taken place in the northern part of the province of Tras os-Montes, but the result was not known. The Insurgents were headed by Brigadier-Gene ral ORDAZ. We received last might the Paris Morning rapers of Saturday, and the price of th e Funds , to the close of that day , but by some accident the Gazette de France of .Sunday did.not reach us as usual at the same time. The Moniteur contains an article, dated Ancona the 4th inst., which states that a Steam• packet from the lonian Islands had arrived on the preceding day with important despatches from Corfu for London, and that private letters, . brought by the same conveyance, announced that General CHURCH and COLOCOTRONI, and the other Greek Chiefs, has taken up several positions in the Isthmu3 of Corinth to oppose the march Of IBRAHIM PACHA. It adds a report, that Lord Cocx- RANE had dispersed the Egyptian Fleet off the Coast of Candia. The PJoniteur also'statcs, that the letters received from. Madrid and Lisbon do not justify the alarms propagated by some of the other Journals, and that the " repose of the Peninsula will not be interrupted." The other Papers are quite barren of political intelligence. Extracts of their contents are, however, g i ven in - another column.

The 4th instant, being the birth-day of the Princess REGENT, the Briti*h troops proceeded to Alfanobeire, and filed off in the finest order before her Royal Highness's residence. The following are ex tracts:— Lssßox, Juts( 4.—The Gazette contains the following Decrees : " 1. At the solicitation of Luiz de Rego Baneto to be reinstated in the rank of Major-General, of which he was iiregulatly deprived, by a Decree of 4th June, 182.4, her .

Her Serene Highness grants his ,pe tition, and reinstates him as Captain on the staff of the army." • This being the anniversary of the birth-day of the Princess Regent, the whole Court, and a great number of persons of distinction, went to Alfitnobeire, to compliment her Highness on this happy occasion, and with the greater pleasure on account of the rapid improvement of her Highness's health. The colours uere hoisted on all the forts and men-of-war in the harbour, and the customary salutes fired. To soletnnite the day, the British troops, under the command of their worthy General, Sir W.

He said, it arose out of exceptions that were taken to the Master's report upon a reference made to him, by which he was directed to enquire whether a sum of 2501., which had been paid in respect of two half years' annuities, one item due in March, 1807, and the other in September, 1807, had been twice paid to Colonel Thornton. The Master, after having investigated the matter, reported that the sum had been twice paid to the Colonel. There was an exception taken to that report, which was ar gued before the Master of the Rolls in 1820. The Master of the Rolls confirmed the Mas ter's report. Colonel Thornton then appealed to the Chancellor, and the appeal was heard at West minster in the course of last term. The facts of the cast his Lordship considered were extremely simple, when disentangled of some of their' circumstances: It appeared that, in 1806, the annuity was granted by the Hon. Me. Coventry to Cal. Thornton. The annuity was charged on real estate, and also upon personal estate in this Court, certain di vidends standing in the name of the Ac countant-General. In the whole of this property Mr. Coventry had a life-interest, which interest he charged with the payment of the annuity. When this arrangement was made, the interest was devised to a person of the name of George Hubbard, as trustee for the annuitant; and there were the usual powers executed, to enable Hubbard to enforce the payments should they not be regularly made. Shortly afterwards a, power of attorney was given by Mr. Coventry, who was then going abroad, to receive the rents and dividends ; and whatever question might arise as to the trustee's having paid the at t puities, kt was clear that he had charged him self vh the receipt of the money ; and whether, he retained the money in his possession, or paid it over, he received it as Colonel Thorn ton's trustee, and therefore it was to be con sidered as a payment made to Colonel Thornton himself. It further appeared that. Colonel Thorn ton himself attended personally all the meetings be fore the Master, in the course of the investigation, and that he made no affidavit on the subject. The Court, therefore, felt at liberty to infer, that Col. Thornton was satisfied he had received the payment twice; and under these circumstances his Lordship felt bound to diamiss the appeal. Mr. WAKEFIELD. hoped the Court would dis misslt with full costs, the costs of this proceeding having been most enormous. Mr. HORNE, contra, submitted that the Court ought not to give extra costs. He could assure his Lordship that, in point of fact, Colonel Thornton had never received one shilling of this money ; on the contrary, that Hubbard died indebted to him many thousand pounds. As there was no »talc fidcs imputable to Colonel Thornton, he could not under stand why extra costs were asked against him. His LORDSHIP felt bound in point 6f law to believe that Col. Thornton had received the money twice and certainly was induced to suppose that in point of fact he had . been twice paid. If he knew that he had been twice paid, he ought not, in the first instance to have appealed to the Master of the Rolls, and again to this Court; if he felt con scious that he had not been twice paid, he ought to have made an affidavit to that effect. As the case stood, the Court considered itself justified in dismis ting the appeal with extra costs, as against Colonel Thornton. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. SALE v. 51001tE. . This was a case in which a person named Moore, devised by his will all his property to his wife, sub ject to certain charges and trusts. The testator, after apologizing for not leaving any property to some of his near relations, and stating that he could not give them any thing without depriving his wife of an income sufficient for her support, said, that he made this disposition of his property, not doubt ing that she (his wife) ‘vetild " consider" his rela tions if she survived him, in the same manner as he should have considered them if he had survived her. A question arose upon the construction of these words—namely, whether they amounted to an implied trust. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that he would look through the will to satisfy his mind fully on the subject, but at present he was of opinion that there was no trust. The testator had first of all left his property of whatever kind to his wife, subject to the payment of his debts and funeral expenses, and then charged it with an annuity of 50/. a-year to his sister Fanny Moore. Nothing could be more absolute than this devise. The testator then went on to say, " my brothers being in affluent circumstances, and my eldest sister provided for, I hope that they will think this a sufficient reason for not leav ing any thing to them in this my will, which I could not do without taking from my wife property which she stands in need of." After this apologetic state ment came the words which were supposed to con tain an implied trust. Now, it was quite impossible that the Court could tell how the testator would have considered his relations if he had survived his wife. He thought this want of certainty and definitiveness in the language of the testator, was fatal to the ar gument in favour of an implied trust. The Court had frequently interfered, and converted words of recommendation iato words of command. 'He had no doubt that the principle on which a Court of Equity first acted in this manner was this. When a testator recommended that the persons to whom he left his property ' should dispose of it in this or that way, it, is argued that such a recom mendation amounted to a command, because, if the testator had supposed that these persons would not have attended to his recommendation, he would not have left.thero his properly. A Coud of Equity, therefore, said if your consciences are not good enough to fulfil the intentions of the testator, we will substitute our consciences for yours, and compel you to be honest. In several cases this doctrine bad been carried to a great length, and Lord Eldon perhaps had been inclined to go farther than any other judge was disposed to carry it. His HonoUr thought the principle should be applied very 'carefully, and jealously. In this case, where the testator first of all gave his property absolutely to his wife, and then, added his recommendation, he was of opinion that it ought not to apply. It must not however, be forgotten that neither the Court nor the widow could tell in what manner the tes tator himself would have considered his relations. ADMIRALTY COURT. PALEMBANG. This case was fully argued on the last Court day, and was now called on for the judgment of the Court, Lord STowELL said, that after fully considering the documents produced in this case, he was clearly of opinion that the claim of the captors was not sup ported to the full amount by any legal evidence. It was admitted on the part of the East India Company, that they had received two different sums of 6,000 and 10,000 dollars, on account of the forces engaged in the caption of Pftlembang, but the Court did not consider that there was any legal evidence to prove the receipt of those sums. As to the further sum of 23,000 dollars it was disputed, and it might be supposed justifiably dispiited, by the East India Corn- Lmy, and there certainly was no legal evidence ad duced to prove that the sum of 23,000 dollars had been paid an account of the captors. Under -all the circumstances, therefore, the Court ,pronounced that the claimants were only entitled to the gross sum of 16,000 dollars. Dr. LUSIIINTON, on behalf of the captors, ap plied to the Court to order that the interest should be paid on the sum pronounced for. The KING'S ADVOCATE thought the case was one which did not call for such an order. The Court could not fail to consider that the.sum pronounced for was a small 'proportion of the whole amount claimed. Dr. LUSHINGTON contended that the ordinary principles of justice required that the captors should receive the interest of that property, which was held from them for several years, and remained in the possession of the East India Company. Lord STOWELL pronounced that the captors were entitled to interest. THE EXMOUTH. Dr. LUSHINGTON said that in this case he was instructed to move for a monition, for the produc tion of a ship's register. Some seamen belonging to the Exmouth, having instituted suits for the pay ment of wages, the owners declined to appear, and the Court pronounced a decree for the sale of the vessel; to effect which, it was necessary that the ship's register should be forthcoming.—Motion granted. IN THE MATTER OF THE SLAVE GRACE. Dr. JENNER, on behalf of the respondent, was heard in reply in this case, which had already been argued at unusual length, and which involved the important, question, whether the arrival of a slave in England, ipso facto, prekents the poS sibility of the individual legally relapsing into slavery upon his return to the place where he was before existing in - a state of slavery. The Learned Counsel, after going through the various cases quoted at the other side, concluded by submit ting that the municipal law of England, did not su persede the law of Antigua, and that it was mon strous to call upon the Court to pronounce, that if a master voluntarily brings over a slave to this coun try, that slave, upon her return to her native island, was to be debarred from that protection and support which she enjoyed from her birth. Dr. DODSON followed on the same side, and the case now stands over for judgment. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ROBINSON AND 141L1.8 V. GALLOWAY. The plaintiffs are extensive braid manufacturers, reresiding t s at a n ß e t tig lh in il e l- e i r .o . w, Ti N ie io a o e rfie tio l n ds,and h was brotugehtdte o recover compensation in damages, for the loss sus tained by the plaintiffs, in consequence of the non fulfilment, of a. contract entered into by the de fendant on the 4th of February, 1824, whereby he became bound within 30 days, to complete and put up for the plaintiffs, a three horse power steam engine, of the description contained in the agree .tnent. The engine not having been finished within the time stipulated, further time was granted for completing it : and when it was at last made and put up, it did not suit the purposes of the plaintiffs, who now brought the, present action for the loss sus tained through the suspension of their business, in consequence of the inefficiency of the engine. After several witnesses were examined for the plaintiffs,, the parties agreed to refer this case, and a counter-action, at the defendant's instance against the plaintiffs, for the price of the machine, to arbi tration, and verdicts were taken in both cases accordingly. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. CAMPBELL were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. CHITTY for the defendant. THE HOP TRADE.—Owing to the extremely faiourable weather for Hops, the market is extremely dull, this morning in the Borough, where the duty is now laid at 100,0001. with the betting in its favour. The letters from the Hoii plantations, received to-day, state that the lice were dying extremely fast, and that the pines began to have a healthy appearance. Kent Hops are unsaleable at any thing beyond 41. 4.. per evvt. . The weather 'this week has been rather variable with high winds and occasional showers. In several parts of this county the rain has fallen in considerable quantity. which will prove of infinite service to the late potatoes, and vegetables of all descriptions. A great proportion of the Hay has. been cut down and saved in line condition: Se veral fields of Barley have also fallen under the sickle ; and we have beard of a few fields of Oats, but, it is considered certain, if the weather sets fair, the Harvest will become general throughout the County the first week in August, and from appearances, there will not be greater produce for any one season within living memory. —Cork .Consti tution. Yesterday afternoon, a Coroner's Inquest was held before A. CARTER, Esq., Coroner, at the Duke of Wellington, near the Surrey Canal, Greenwich-road, on the body of Helen Logan, who was found drowned in the above Canal, on the Saturday previous. The distressed father of the u nfortunate girl, stated, she had been missing after her.

There is likewise an account of a man, who dying of an incurable colic, which had tormented him many years, and baffled the effects of medicine, was opened after his death, and in his bowels was found the cause of his distemper, which was a ball, composed of tough and hard matter, resembling a stone, being six inches in circumference, when measured, and weighing an ounce and a half; in the centre of this there was found the stone of a common plum. These instances sufficiently prove the folly of that common opinion that•the stones of fruit ar•e wholesome. Cherry -stones, swallowed in great quantities, have occasioned the death of many people; and there have been instances even of the seeds of strawberries, and kernels of nuts, collected into a lump in the bowels, and causing violent disorders, which could never be cured till they were carried off.
