THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, N0v.2.5,1825. NEW TIMES.] A somewhat curious article appears in the Courier Francais, complaining that the novel of Ourika", which has been thought 'fit fOr the chaste ears of the Parisian Ladies, and which indeed was written by one of the most distinguished of them, should have incurred the censure of a Spanish Bishop. We really see nothing very Wonderful in that. It will be remembered that our ingenious and entertaining Parisian Corres pondent, a short time since, spoke. of Ourika. He alluded to the peculiar interest of the tale, and gave high praise to the titled Authoress for the art and skill with which she had touched so very tender a topic. For our own part we must frankly say, we do not like female writers handlini7 !.:oc:11 subjects at all. Her Grace may have contrived to do it with great delicacy ; but impossible that she can have raised, on the foundation which she has chosen, a work calculated to add to the purity of her virgin readers. We confess our ideas are a little antiquated on such subjects, but we certainly should place in oar domestic Index Expurgatorius, the *Oluptuous songs of Tom Moore, and the equivocal romance of the DucheSs de Duras. We are very sorry that the Constitutionnel is under prosecution. Its pages are in consequence very dull, for they are loaded with the reports of its trial, which, like most French trials, is insufferably tedious. The question stript of its technicalities is very simple. The .writers in the Constitutionnel dislike the Established Clergy of France, in much the same degree as, those of the Morning Chronicle do the Established Clergy of England, and they show their dislike much in the same way, by continual sarcasms and misrepresentations. We choose to tolerate this sort of " denigrement irreligieux" in this country ; will the people of France be so in dulgent to the " egaremens" of the Press ? What reason would say is one thing : what law says is another ; but the question would probably be solved by neither law nor reason in either country, but by the passions and prejudices of the in dividuals who might have to deliver the verdict, or pronounce the sentence. [MORNING POST.] We received, last night, - by Express, French Papers to. the 23d inst. and the Etoile of Wed nesday. The Quotidienne having published ano ther silly article,-“ to draw attention to the am pitious designs of England, and to the systematic policy which leads her to aim at universal domi nion by favouring insurrections, and to attack the independence of thrones by promoting that of subjects," the Etoile has taken up the defence of our policy with .no less candour than ability.— It has done more': . it has revealed the views,and almost the intentions of the French Government, with respect to South -America; and from what it has stated, -- no doubt can be . .entertained that within a short period France will follow our example, and recognize all the Republics of the neiv Hemisphere. The Quolidienne maintain ed that the fate of those Republics was not fixed, and that a general Declaration on the part of the Continental Powers that they meant to assi3t Spain in reconquering her emancipated Colonies wotild silence us, and render our recognition of non-effect. The Etoile, on the contrary, contends that Spain might hatr " waited for time and events -to facilitate her re-establishment in her domains, if the United States and England had not recognized their independence. But that it would no longer be done without exposing Spain to very serious danger." It takes a view of the political changes which led to the Declaration of independence, and after .stating some historical facts, and observing that European Powers must, look at the question according, to their own in terests in it, political or commercial, it proceeds to demonstrate the total inability of Spain to re cover her lost dominion. [TILE PUBLIC tEnG.ca.] The Etoile. of Wednesday, which, with the ether Paris Papers of the preceding day, reached us last night, contains an elaborate article relative to Spain, and her late Colonies. The pith of it is, that as Spain has not the Most remote chance of reconquering those possessions with her own resources, and not the faintest hope of being aided by:-other Powers in such an undertaking, her wisest course would be to recognize their inde pendence.: This is the first time that this great concession has made it appearance in a French' Ministerial Journal ; and as the Eloile is the orgau, par excellence, of the Ministryi its insertion iii that Paper speaks too intelligibly to be misuti ders.tood. It. is now perfectly clear that the French Government has wholly abandoned the notion of even nominally supporting the Spanish Court in its arrogant pretensions ; and it. is also pretty fully ascertained that France is. extremely anxious to acquire a respectable pretext for esta blishing political relations with the New States, fOr , she is well aware that till she has recognized their , independence, her commercial intercouse with them mUst remain in its present circuit]. scribed and precarious state. For . a considerable tire- PreviouS to this . promulgaiian of the Views of-that power, hints had been thrown out, which successively assumed a, more explicit character, in order to prepare its allies, as well as its own subjects. for the important change which it hiss at last as good as announced, and which it appears to have long meditated. The French' natron, - With the - exception of an incorrigible faction, required, it is true, no preparation ;- but political • .address, and above' all,some. fortunate contingency,.were requisite - to obtain, if not-the positive concurrence, at least the'pas sire assent, of the Other 'leading Powers of . the Continent. The late revolution in the Spanish - Cabinet, which .set all decency and all sound political considerations at defiance, afforded the convenient prete'xt so long desired ; and as .the Spanish Government has shewn itself impervious to con - in - on sense, and wholly incapable of ma. 4 tigiug the most ordinary interests, it has neces sarily relieved France from all the onerous parts of the connexion. The latter is thus at liberty to follow her own views, for it would be an insult to her to require that she should model her po licy according to the senseless standard which the Spanish Monarchy has set up for his own guidance. From the alacrity with which the Ministers of Charles X. have proceeded to act in conformity to their long meditated designs, when they were apprized of the dismissal of M. Zea Bermudez, who enjoyed the confidence of all the Powers in amity with Spain, it would seem as if they received the greatest satisfaction from the event. They can now lift'the veil, with which they tried so long to cover their designs with respect to South America ; and the world will be soon ap prized, in pll probability, of the real destination of the squadron that has been fitting out for some time at Brest, and which, it has been pretended, is intended for scientific researches i❑ the Pacific Ocean,and not for political overtures to the States of the adjoining Continent. [III,RNING CHRONICLE.] The Paris Papers of Tuesday contain the com mencement of the proceedings against the Courier Francais, An account of the proceedings of the Legislature of the Netherlands, in which the Chamber unanimously testified their gratitude to their liberal and tolerant Monarch, forms the best refutation of the charges of the wigged Monlis of Dublin, who suppose that all the world is in love with Priestcraft because they are. The Catholics of the Netherlands find no fault with their Protestant King. Yesterday . was a most important day at the Stock Exchange, th 6 settling day so long and anxiously looked for, on account of the great depression which took place, Consols commencing at 83, and settling about 84. The fluctuation in the morning was from 83i up to 84i, and for the January Ac count in the same proportion a half per cent. higher. The chising price for the opening in January was after being 85. There was much bustle among the jobbers and brokers. Up to a late hour no defaulters were declared. -The Foreign Stocks were comparatively neglected yesterday, on account of the attraction of the settling in the Consol Market. Colombian 'Bonds were, however, at all prices, from 63 to 65, and closed at 64. Mexican 6 per Cent. Bonds, from 67 to 69. Brazil Scrip, 12 and 13 dis. In Shares there were no sales reported.—(loM.) [THE TI M ES.] 'We hear that the interview of the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Wed nesday last, led, as we expected would be the case, to nothing conclusive. The affair stands over till the arrival of Lord Liverpool in town, which, as his Lordship we believe has intimated, will be on Monday next. Meantime it is admit ted that no hope has been held out by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer of a favourable view of the application whenever it shall be laid before Lord Liverpool. On that point the few remarks which fell from him were the re verse of encouraging. By their own conduct the Bank Directors had brought themselves into a situation too serious to be treated with disregard, though the evil, in his opinion, would work its own cure ; but, in any case, be was not aware that assistance could be given to them by the Government. By the terms of the Bank Charter, it was imperative on that body to make certain advances to the Government, who in their claims on them still kept themselves considerably within the prescribed limits ; and it could not be permitted that the public service should suffer detriment, because the Directors had been guilty of indiscretion in the management of their affairs. On some degree of merit being assumed by the Governor and Deputy Go vernor of the Bank for the timely assist ance afforded by the purchase of the an nuities, to make good the Pension List, when no other public body or associations of individuals would venture to undertake it, the Chancellor remarked that it was impossible to treat it in any other way than as a private con tract, which had no connexion whatever with their corporate privileges. After some further remarks to the same purport, and an intimation that no step would be taken of a definite nature without the concurrence of Lord Liverpool, the Governor and Deputy Governor took leave, and returned to the city. DYLORNING DER4,LD.3 The last accounts from Colombia announce that Bolivar has been once more elected President, with unanimity, of that young,. gigantic, and growing republic. It is scarcely possible to at tribute these repeated elections, without compe titor, and without rival—and it Would seem, even Without envy, to any thing but tmhounded public Confidence, and the ascendancy of superior talent and superior virtue. Ambition could not , be so deep and crafty as to conceal itself so success fully and so long. Neither is it, by any means, that the elections are merely ceremonial—for the Vice-Presidents are changed and an active canvass takes place through the departments. As little can it be ascribed to military intimidation, though at the head of the army—both he and the troops are distant from, the scene, and could not in any case act directly over so extensive a sphere. It is his authority, not his, power, that governs Colombia. This state of public confidence, order,. and subordination on the _one side—of virtue, capacity, and experience on the other—and the progress which has been made in organising society on a new basis, makes the hope of , reconqueriug this State at least an idle dream—and it seems.to be aban doned by Spain herself. She seems, however, still clinging to Peru, and the Royalist General Rodil, holds'oct in Callao against all offers.and attacks of the Colombians.. But the fate of this strong, if not impregnable. fortress, must neces sarily follow that of, the country at last, and Rodil is Said to sustain the spirits, and, maintain thedis cipline of the garrison only by giving false repre sentations of the state of the interior, and publish. iug accounts of victories pretended to ,I?e ,gained' by the S . p . trOards in Upper . Peru. Such,,at are the aOftthnnts by the .United States' and Co lombian' 'Papers. An Evening Paper shows, OD this subject an unaccountable insensibility to the fidelity Of General to his Royal. Master, King ferdinand, .and a portentous sympathy with the interests of the young Republics. This Paper decidedly dphres 'that General Rodil ought to capitulate, and no doubt, when the opi nion reaches him, he will do so, having then a sufficient excuse and authority for his conduct. [BRITISH PRESS.j No course of conduct can be more impolitic in itself, or more fatal in its consequences, if per sisted in, than that which is at present pursued by Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Shell, and the rest of the hot-headed Catholic leaders, who are daily beat ing the drum of rebellion in the ears of their countrymen. Can they be so infatuated as to imagine, that by having made common cause with the Jesuitic party in France they will strike ter ror into the Protestant party in England, and by alarm carry a full admission of their claims ? Can they be so besotted as to sup pose, that by their patronage of the Etoile they will be able to make head against the public Press of this country, and bear up the Pa pal power in triumph? If it is from the armory of treason that they might bring out their weapons of attack—if they expect to achieve their vic tory by the aid of the ultramontane priesthood and " an army of the faith," they will find themselves woefully disappointed in their ex pectations. They may rest assured that, to whatever conquests they may look forward, the time is not yet come when the Protestantsof Great Britain are to be intimidated by French Jesuits, or overawed by any force with which Messrs.Sheil and O'Connell can threaten them, even with the Catholic Continent at their back. But they have alr6ady done and said enough to shew what they would do, were they in the plenitude of their power. They have alienated their former friends on this side of the water ; they have taught those who, on the principles of abstract justice, were, till lately, their advocates, to look beyond those principles, and to mark well the actual pro ceedings of those leaders whose cause they up held—and they have thus taught them—by an instruction which cannot err—to reflect on the in creased power they were about to concede, and the fearful purposes to which—under their secret alliance with the bigotted missionaries of the Pa pal priesthood on the Continent, which alliance they now openly parade in the face of Protestant Europe—that increased power might be pervert ed. The English Catholics, much to the credit of their good sense and moderation, take no part in the fierce contentions of their brethren in Ire land. They deprecate it as mischievous—they disclaim it as hostile. Unfortunately, an Irish man has no such word in his vocabulary as discre tion—we speak, of course, with exceptions—but such is the fact. On great occasions he can never think but in metaphor, nor act but in extremes. His mind seems impregnated with a sort of gas, which floats it above the at mosphere of common sense. An Irish orator never cares to reason ; his object is excitement : his brain is a mould in which nothing solid can be cast ; its contents, like metals in a state of fusion, run into every thing, and over every thing. Such leaders as Shell and O'Connell, in a great political crisis, would ruin any cause and any country. Periculosm plenum opus aim tractas is no warning to such men. The valup of the stake never makes them a whit more concerned about the hazard of the die. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, N0v.24. This day was taken up with motions of no public importance COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-COIiSITy. HARRIS. Mr. HEALD interrupted the arguments of Counsel in a mo tion of Jackson v. Bourne, and expressed a wish that a day might be fixed for hearing a motion of a pressing nature, re specting Covent-Garden Theatre. A stop had been put to the proceedings before the Master, owing to some allowances which the Receiver claimed, and the affairs of the Theatre had been much affected by it. It had been recommended that the Re ceiver should make an application to his Lordship, and it was expedient that there should be as little delay as possible. Per haps, therefore, his Lordship would appoint to-morrow for hear ing the motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked what would become of the causes of other suitors, if he were to hear this to-morrow ? Mr. HEALD replied, that he had only obeyed his instructions in making this application. Is was of course for his Lordship to take any course he thought most expedient. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his great unwillingness to hear this motion in preference to those which had priority.— " The time of this Court," said his Lordship, " has been taken up a great deal too much in hearing these motions about the theatres, and I have gained no credit by allowing it." Mr. HEALD repeated, that he was only discharging a duty which had been imposed upon him. The LORD CHANCELLOR—UnIess you constitute me a Ma nager of the Theatre, I don't see how 1 can interfere. Mr. HEALD reminded his Lordship of the reference which had been made to the Master, and to the appointment of a Receiver. Mr. SITODEN, who was Counsel on the other side, saw no reason why the causes of other suitors should be postponed for the purpose of hearing this motion. After some further conversation the question was dropped. The parties connected with the Theatre were all in Court, and seemed anxious to bring the matter speedily under the consi deration of his Lordship. ABERNETHY V. HUTCHINSON. Mr. tioRNE said, that he had to apply to the Court in this cause, but was prevented by the absence of the Solicitor- General. _ The LORD CHANCELLOR—What ! have we The Lancet again ? Mr. IloHNE—Yes, my Lord ; but I have the satisfaction to tell you, that you'll have to hear only one Counsel on each side. WARD O 1 TIIE COURT. Just at the rising of the Court, lifr:ltOOTs stated that a mo tion had yesterday been made, relative to a Ward of the Court, and a young gentleman, who had been paying his addresses to her. He had been retained on the part of i Ir. Wells, but through a mistake had unfortunately been absent, having un derstood that the motion was to have been made in the other Court. Perhaps his Lordship, under these circumstances, would allow him to-morrow moving to address a few words on behalf of the young gentleman against whom the injunction had been granted. He promised not to occupy more than five minutes of his Lordship's time.—The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated his assent, and left the Court. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 24. ST. 13F.F.'S CHARITY. ATTORNEY-GENERAT, V. PEMBROKE HALL. This •;:taS - 11 information filed by the Attorney-General against the Masters and Fellows of Pembroke Hall, Cam bridge, to set aside a lease of certain lands in the vicinity of Croydon, granted to the parties for the erection and mainte nance of a Fellowship and three Scholarships in the College. The Sor.actToit-GENERAL, with whom was Mr. PEM BERTON, appeared on behalf of the Attorney-General ; Mr. :HOItNE and Mr. SIMPRINSON were for the defendants. The facts were briefly these :—ln 1585, Grindall (Archbishop , of Canterbury) made an endownient of 501. per annum for pious purposes, as follows :-201. for founding one fellowship and two scholarships in Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and 251. to the cha rity school of St. Bee's. Of this latter bequest the schoolmas ter was to receive,2o/. a year, the usher 3/. 6s. Bd., the receiver 1/., and 13s. 4d. was allotted for an annual dinner. The remaining 51. per annum. was to be allowed to accumulate for the endowment of other scholarships in Pembroke Ball and Queen's College, Oxford. Shortly after, the Archbishop or his representatives vested a part of the fund in the purchase of au estate, called Palmer's-fields, Bear Croydon. The estimated Value of these lands at the time was 241. annually ; and within' a few years the Governors of St. Bee's charity leased them to a servant of the Bishop's executor for a term of 99 years at that rent. At this time a saving of 541. had been made out of the reserved fund, for which the Government purchased an addi tional 41. per annum, making the gross revenue of the charities on that endowment 541. yearly. Of this sum Pembroke Hall continued to receive 201. and 41. for an additional scholarship. Things remained in this state ti 111606, when the Governors of the charity, conceiving the St. Bee's Fellow and Scholars at Pembroke College were not so well treated as the other Fel. lows and Scholars of that establishment, agreed to make a conveyance of Palmer's-fields for 999 years, and also to give 2001. additional, on the condition that the St. Bee's Scholars and Fellows should in future enjoy the same profits and advantages out of the general revenues of the College as the other Fellows and Scholar's of Pembroke Hall.— The College acceded to these terms, and the Governors granted a lease for 1,000 years, and as much longer as the world should endure, of the property in question, the lease to be renewable on payment of the fine of a red rose. From that date down to the present time the College remained in posses sion of the estate, which in the interval so increased in value as to be worth 5001. per annum ; while the lands retained by the Governors of the school, originally worth 30/. yearly, now only amounted to 1301. The object of the information was to avoid this bargain, and procure a new division of the property, which it was proposed to mix up in common, and allow the College 24, and the school 30 parts of the gross amount. The SoLicuron-GENERAL argued that a fresh division of the property should take place, and that the College was, in strictness, only entitled to 241. per annum, according to the original will of the founder. The excess of the rental of Pal mer's-fields should be in part appropriated to the erection of new Fellowships and Scholarships, and the remainder belonged to the St. Bee's Charity. .31r. PEMBERTom followed on the same side. HORNE was heard contra. The VICE-CHANCELLOR expressed his opinion that the lease of 1606 was to be considered in the light of a perpetual alienation of the lands in question. It did not appear to him that at this distance of time it was the business of a Court of Equity to disturb an arrangement originally fair in its nature, and which had been acted upon by both parties for more than 200 years. The information was accordingly dismissed. At the suggestion of the Counsel for the information, his Ho nour directed " a declaration that the Fellow and Scholars of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, on Archbishop Grindall's founda tion, were entitled to the same privileges and emoluments as the other Fellows and Scholars of the establishment, and a di rection that they be so placed with regard to these advantages." COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 24. CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-MORNING CHRONICLE. THE RING V. CLEMENT. Mr. SCARLET T moved for a rule calling on Mr. William Innel Clement, sole proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, to show cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against him. He made this application at the instance of Mr. H ullett, a gentleman who was a member of a most respectable commercial firm in Throgmorton-street, and who had been Consul (as we understood the Learned Counsel, who was almost inaudible in some parts of his statement) at Buenos Ayres. In the year 1322 he had contracted with the Government of Chili to raise a loan for them of one million sterling. This loan was to be repaid by the issue of ten. thousand bonds of 100/. each, secured by a mortgage on the estates of Chili deposited in bankers' hands. The money was raised, and, with the excep tion of the commission agreed on, was paid over to the agents of the Chilian Government, in strict conformity with the orders given. The accounts sent in were approved ; they were regu larly settled ; and a formal and unqualified confirmation of all the acts had been received from the proper authorities.— Throughout the whole of these transactions Mr. Hullett had nothing to reproach himself with ; he had been regularly au thorized, and had honourably fulfilled his trust. The pretext for the libel, of which he now complained, was to be found in a report professing to give an account of a speech delivered by the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, some time in the last Session, when the propriety of recognizing Consuls from the New South American States became the subject of discussion. On that occasion, Mr. Canning was reported to have said that he could not re ceive a communication as official, through a person who turned out to be a mere commercial agent—a remark the justice of which would be universally admitted, but which in no way ap plied to Mr. Ilullet, who had never profeSsed to be other than he was. Upon the extract of this speech a correspondent of the Morning Chronicle had founded observations imputing to Mr. Hullet that he had enriched himself out of the transaction im properly, and that his whole conduct in respect to it was dis honourable and unjust. The Learned Counsel proceeded to read a copy of the article complained of (the date of which he did not mention) ; but before he had concluded, Mr. Justice BA YLEY asked if all the imputations were denied? Mr. SCARLET T replied, that all were denied in the most positive terms. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said the Learned Counsel had stated enough to entitle him to a rule to show cause. THE KING V. WEYMOTT. Mr. ADAM moved for a rule calling on Mr. Weythott, a person who had lately resided at Exeter, to show cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against him. He made this application at the instance of my Lord Rolle, who had, for many years, endured a series of unprovoked insults from this party, and who was at last obliged to ask for the in terference of the Court. The person against whom he moved was in the habit of sending letters to various persons connected with his Lordship, containing gross scurrility respecting him. One of these, recently addressed to the housekeeper of Lord Rolle, designated him as " a thick-headed and cold-hearted tyrant." Another, addressed to Lady Rolle, of the 17th inst., described him as " a miser and tyranthusband," and contained other opprobrious language. It also stated that Lord Rolle had attempted to procure the writer to be compelled to find sureties to keep the peace, which was wholly untrue. Mr. Justice BAYLEY asked if there was satisfactory evi dence of the handwriting of the party , against whom the appli cation was directed.—Mr. ADAM answered in the affirmative. —The Court granted a rule to show cause. HAYWARD r. PITT. In this case a rule had been obtained, calling upon the plain tiff to shew cause why the verdict for 1,0001. agreed to at the last A ssizes for Gloucester, upon an understanding that the defendant was to marry the plaintiff should not be set aside. Mr. CAMPBELL this day was proceeding to shew cause against the rule, when he was asked by Mr. Justice BAYLEY, whether it would not be more adviseable to have the business settled out of Court ? After some conversation between the Counsel on both sides, it was agreed that it should be referred to some Gentlemen at the Bar to say for what amount the verdict should stand. LINCOLN'S INN-MANDAMUS. Mr. WooLLEn addressed the Court, and inquired if it was then convenient to their Lordships to hear his application. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said the Court could not conveniently hear him that day, but if he would come down in time to-mor row morning the Court would hear him. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 24. A man named Everest, brought up from the Fleet to be dis charged under the Insolvent Act, was opposed by Sergeant Wrr.DE, who examined him as to 170/. received by the insol vent since his confinement on a mortgage. It appeared from his answers that he could ndt recollect when he received this sum. He was remanded by the Insolvent Act to amend his schedule. He said he did not know how it was to be amended. The Co UWc having cautioned him--to be more careful in his answers, said, if he obtained his rerease by false representations he would subject himself to be retaken, and to be transported to boot. He was remanded, and ordered, after amending his schedule, to go again to the Insolvent Court. itICHARDBO'N v. MELLI.9I3. In this case a rule was granted, calling on the defendant to shew cause why the postea should not be amended, by permit ting the plaintiff to take his verdict on one count of his decla ration, the other counts being informal.. The COURT, after hearing Mr. Sergeant Lawes and Mr. Sergeant Wilde at great length, ordered the rule to be made absolute, and the postea to be amended. HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, Nov. 24. CONTEMPT OF COURT. SIR WASTELL BRISCOE V. LADY BRISCOE. The Judges present were, Drs. STODART, DAUBENY, DOD SON, GOSTLING, ADDAMS, and LEE. Upon thl sitting of the Court, the Register stated_ that he had received a letter from Sir Wastell Briscoe, in reference to what had passed on the last Court-dny, which he desired permissiOn to read. The Court having granted its permission, the Register read a letter to the following effect:— " Sir—l beg you will state that I had no intention of offering the slightest insult to the High Court of Delegates in what escaped 'from me on the last Court-day. I now beg to apolo gise for those expressions, and, in obedience to the commands of that Honourable Court, retract those expressions in the most unequivocal manner. " I consider the above submission to the High Court of Dele gates most full and complete on my part, and I appeal to the justice of this Honourable Court to deal out a measure of equal justice towards one of its own officers, who had been knowingly and Wilfully guilty of thi sate offence against the dignity of the Court under more aggravated circumstances ; and I pray the 1111"-s. he r e ' Court that he maybe pronounced in contempt , ,; a f otell tracts the expressions he then used, and makes 3 Sa, ,3„s, apology. • "To the Register of the High Court of Delegates. .0, Dr. STODART said, that he and his LearneclColleaPlttion. sidered this a matter of great importance, requiring delihe`" The Court would therefore retire for a short time. a nd re' The COURT then retired to an adjoining apartment, rod, mained ii i iileiberation for a few minutes.
