MEMEL, MARCH 18.—Last night there were keen night frosts, which covered the river from side to side with thick floating ice, and has strengthened the old so much that an entire free navigation cannot be expected before the middle of next month ; a stoppage took place this morning upon t he flats, which has enabled the few vessels to go to sea ; 15 feet water on the bar.

The Petitioners' haviog dosed their case of bribery on Saturday last,- offered to produce evidence to establish the allegation, respecting the interference of the Roman Catholic Clergy at the Election. The Committee having deliberated for a short time on the proposition, The CHAIRMAN asked what was the object in showing the interference of the Priests ; was it in a view to vitiate any particular votes, or in order to affect the seats. Mr. HARRISON was not aware that it could affect any par ticular votes, their being no statute prohibiting such interfer ence. The object of the petitioners was to prove, that the con duct of the Catholic Clergy obstructed the freedom of elec tion, and if the Committee should not deem that a sufficient cause to invalidate the election, it might form a ground of a special report to the House, whereby such conduct might be obviated in future by a legillative enactment. The 'Cita I RMAII did not imagine that the interference of the Clergy, to xrhateve - e extent Carried, could in any degree contribute to invalidate the election, and the Committee could not receive evidence, in a view to make a special re port, respecting acts which could not affect the validity of the election. Mr. LAW was instructed by Colonel White to say, that the Catholic Clergy courted an inquiry into their conduct ; they were anxious for an opportunity to rebut the foul and unfounded calumnies heaped upon them through the base motives of exciting prejudice against them in this country. He hoped the Chairman would not refuse to hear evi&nce on that point, as that much injured and disparaged class of people were prepared to repel with contempt so vile and unmanly a charge,. Mr. Hamilton, the petitioner, much agitated, rose up reddened, muttered, and sat down. The CHAIRMAN was afraid that the Committee could not comply with the wishes of either party, but requested to be allowed until Monday to consider. This day lie an nounced that such evidence could not be received by the Committee. Mr. AtExAxnas. summed up the evidence produced to establish bribery, and the Committee adjourned until to morrow, in order that the Chairman may ask the leave of the House to adjourn for a few days, until Colonel White's witnesses can be brought from Ireland. THE GALWAY ELECTION. The Committee resumed its sittings to-day. The late Sheriff for the county of Galway appeared and proved the poll-books. Application was made to the Chairman on behalf of Mr., Martin to move the House that a message be sent to the Lords, requesting the attendance of the Marquisses of Sligo, Bristol, and Clanricarde, to give evi dence in this case. The Committee then proceeded to a scrutiny. Mr. MARTtw's object in requiring the attendance of the Most Noble Peers is to show an unconstitutional inter ferenci on their behec in the late election. THE WESTMEATH ELECTION. The committee have come to a resolution to allow the defendants in this case a commission to examine witnesses in Ireland, but will permit Mr. Smith to go through his case here if he thinks proper. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY. The Borough Sessions were opened this morning at the Town Hall, before Mr. Alderman SMITH, Mr. Serjeant ARABIK, and the late LORD MAYOR. _ Joseph Cordering was indicted for an assault upon the portly person of Mrs. Andrews, a lady of uncommonly majestic proportions. It appeared that the parties are both resident in the Borough, and that Mrs. A. had been for a number of years in the habit of paying her devotions to the traver seri cistern, at those periods when the severity of the weather had frozen up all the troughs in the neighbour hood. Mr. C. did not object to his fair neighbour's visits fur many year:, but, alas! as the Poet has it— how light a cause may more Dissension between hearts that love. Mrs. Andrews's little dog Whiffle, one morning, in a freakish humour, burglarionsly entered the hen-roost of Mr. Corderin.g, causing the utmost tumult and confusion amongst the inhabitants, several of whom were, at:that:mo ment, in the straw. After this unprovoked aggression ontthe part of little Whiftle,hostile feelings were engendered between the parties, which, though smothered for some time, at length burst forth, and Mrs. Andrews having thrown an impu tation ou the moral character of Mr. Cordering's eldest born, or, in plainer language, termed the youth a thief, the traverser threw off even the semblance of amity, and declared that Mrs. Andrews should no longer enjoy the cooling waters of his fountain. Mrs. A. was no sooner acquainted with this resolve, than she determined to show how little she valued it. Taking her pitcher there fore, though very unlike a Naiad, she proceeded to the foun tain, where Mr. C. was , already standing sentinel. A most unneighbourly scene took place on this °ma. % lion, which ended in an indictment for au a:.ault. Mrs. A. swore that the traverser shook her delicate person, and the traverser's witnesses swore, " that she vent ornery near to drowning him in his own vater butt." Under those circumstances the Jury returned a verdict of acquit tal, and the parties withdrew, teeming with undiminished ire. LIS' ON MR. TIRRNIT'S ed( ITY 1/(1" GRANT OF runic :AVON IS YORIIIIO.

On Saturday night the elder Colman's well-known co•• medy of the "Jealous Wife" was produced for the purpose of introducing Miss Jarman in the character of Mrs. Oak-. ley. Her conception of the part was good, but her execu tion somewhat less refined than it might have been. Miss Chester made a better Mrs. Oakley. Mr. G. Pensons Sir Harry Beagle was an elaborate failure ; he did what he could ; but it is quite evident that the par of a fox-hunter does not suit him. The Comedy on the whole was well sustained, particularly Mr. Power's Captain O'Cutter, which was the very soul of the piece. The house was full by half-price, but in the earlier part of the evening was rather empty. The Inverness Harriers met on Friday last at Bogrop in the Aird, being the closing day of the Season, when capital sport was enjoyed by a select and large field. The hounds threw off at Easter Lovat, the property of T. A. Fraser, Esq. of Lovat, and found immediately ; when after running by Wester Lovat, through Balbair, Easter and Wester Phoineas, and Dunballach, the hare gallantly parsed by the bridg e of Beauly,— on t o t h e f alls o f Kilmo rack—there doubled, and was at last run down to the east ward of Beauly. This extraordinary chaSe lasted fifty mi nutes without a check, a nd embrace d a distance of nearly twelve miles. The day's spOrt concluded with two other excellent T runs. —_RverittSS Paper. The Commissioners under the New Street Act have determined to commence their improveMents at the east corner of .St. Martin's-lane, and proceed regularly from thenc e to Exeter 'Change, previously to their taking ' down the Golden Cross, and the adjoining building s . As the ground on which these stand is to form an open unoc. eupied space, they are to remain for the present. A few days ago, as Wombwell's collection of wild beasts (now in Stamford) were passing from Notting ham to Worksop, a small tiger made his escape from the caravan, near to Mr. Ichabod Wright's lodge, Mapperley, and entered the farm-yard of Mr. Thomas Ayre. Several persons contrived to get him into an out-house, and en deavoured to re-take him by turning a dog in, but he nearly tore the dog to pieces. The animal was left there for the remainder of the night, but again got away, and has not yet been recovered. It is supposed lie is still in some of the thickets of the forest, as several sheep have been worried in the vicinity.--finnts On Tuesday, as a barge was proceeding up the Severn, near Severn Stoke, a salmon leaped out of the water-on the deck, and seized one of the ropes with its teeth; - one of the crew secured the fish, which, bit him se verely. 'The salmon was 2 feet 9 inches long. It was not in very good condition, having been. Alp the. river to". spawn. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). FROM LLOYD'S. _ .

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 31.—Yesterday the Ga.= latea frigate, Capt. Sir Charles Sullivan, Baronet, returned from Oporto and Lisbon, in eight days from the latter place, having left the, Tagus on the 22d, and. Oporto on the 7th March, .She brought dispatches from Lord Amelius Beauclerk, but, the:- are not deemed of public importance. All the ac counts represent the anti-constitutional cause as being at an end: •SeVeral parties of the rebels, who deserted from the Marquis Chaves,' previous to his crossing the Spanish frontiers, had arrived at Lis bon. The Dispatch, 18, Captain Parsons, left the Tagus with the Galatea, and parted company from her on Wednesday last, in a gale of wind, when the Galatea ran 300 miles in 30 hours. The Ga latea left the Spartiate, Genoa, and Albion, in the Tagus ; and the Plumper and Reynard in the Douro. On Thursday, arrived the Hope transport, Lieut. Hugh Goold, Agent from Lisbon and Vigo. Sailed from the former place 3d March, for Oporto and England. On the 6th March, arrived off the bar of Oporto, communicated with the shore, but could not enter, in consequence of the freshes ; was in formed that no vessel had passed over the bar for three weeks, the weather on the coast having been generally very tempestuous. On the 7th and Bth, experienced most violent gales from the westward, and was compelled to bear up for Vigo; fonAd ly ing at anchor under the Bayonna Isles, his Majesty's ships Galatea and Dispatch, which had been detain ed at that place by westerly gales twenty-three l days. These ships sailed for Oporto and Lisbon on the 13th March, having received provisions from, the Hope for the Reynard and Plumper brigi,which were lying in the Douro, they having entered the River in December list, for the protection of British property. The day previOns ,to the .I:Lope's sailing from Vigo, 17th March, accounts were received of several melancholy losses on the coast: . Portu guese brig had arrived from Pernambueo, laden with sugar, bound to, Oporto, totally dismasted. Yesterday arrived the Welcome transport, from' Figueira, where she landed provisions, corn, and hay, for the use of the British army in Portugal. — She brought home the crew of the schooner Tot ness, of Brixham, which vessel was wrecked between. Lisbon and Oporto, when on her passage to Fi gueira, with a cargo of straw for the British Ca valry.

The Grenada Free Press states the arrival there of the schooner Dart, from Liverpool, Nova Scotia, with an account of an action having taken place in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, between two French corvettes and two American sloops of war, which ended in the defeat of the French vessels, one of which was sunk, and the other.put into the Island of St. Peter, dismasted, and a gr•eat . part of the crew killed and wounded.

During the chase several half-anchors were thrown overboard from the lugger, which, from the darkness of the night could not be picked up.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF . CHANCERY. TOE .arrOnlirT-GNERAj. P. SKINNERS' COMPANY. In this matter it was decided that the Skinners' Com pany were entitled, under Sir Andrew Judd's will, to two es t a t e s—one as trustees for the, benefit of a . school at Tun bridge, and the other for their own benefit ; and the matter came on to-day for discussion upon the question of cosks. The testator had directed the Company to ride once a year to visit this school, to defray the expences of which he directed the application of 408. Upon the matter having gone subsequently to the Master to settle a scheme for car rying on the school, &c. he had allowed 2001. annually to defray the.expenca of the visitation, which, on the one s id e , was contended ought to come out of the property that was declared to belong to the school, and, on the other, to ' come out of that which the Company took beneficially. His LORDSIIIV'S opinion was, that the 2001. should be borne by the two estates, in the proportion that the rental of the one estate bore to the other. As to the costs in curred up to the hearing of the matter, he should have thought no costs ought to be given on either side, if this would •not have been most unmerciful upon the relaters, who bad instituted the suit; and as to them, therefore, lie thOught they ought to be borne in the same proportion as that of the 2001. ; and, as to the costs upon the question whether the Skinners:: Company were beneficially entitled to one of the estates_or not, they would have _ to come out of that estate. Iti-PARTN NOLTY IN THE AIATTER OR CROWDER. His LORDSHIP occupied a great part of the morning in giving judgment in this matter. It came before him npou a petition of appeal, which prayed that an order made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor might be. reversed. The short history of the case was, that Crowder, Perfect, and Clough, carried on business as factors and consi g nees at Liverpool. Mr.' Clough went abroad, and had au thority to purchase , cottons to a certain extent. When abroad, he entered into speculations to an enormous extent with the House of Nolte and Company. He re presented to Nolte and Co. that be appeared on behalf of himself and his partners in Liverpool, and that his Liver pool house would guarantee the transactions he entered into. One question, therefore, which arose was, whether, upon certain letters that were produced, Crowder, Per fect, and Company, had either in express terms ratified that guarantee, or had given Mr. Clough authority to give it, or whether they themselves, by the adoption of the transaction he had entered into, had matured that guaran tee into a contract, that the Liverpool house would be answerable for all the transactions that took place between the parties? Cotton to a large extent had been sent to England for sale, with a view to enable the parties here to meet bills that had been drawn for the payment of those cottons. The • cottons were sold at a great loss. Messrs. Crowder, Perfect, and Co., because bankrupts ; another commission was taken out against Mr. Clough and two other Gentlemen of the name of Lazarus and Weaman, with whom he had entered into partnership ; and a separate commission was taken out against Mr. Clough ; and the great question for the Court's decision was, Whether the house of Nolte and Co., were entitled to prove against the house of Crowder, Perfect, and Co.? Upon the best eonsideration his Lordship could give to the matter, after reading the whole of it over and over again, he was of opinion, that Nolte and Co. were entitled to make such a proof. He therefore reversed the order of the Court below. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. ER-EART"R MACHEATH IN THE MATTER OF MACHEATH, This was the petition of the bankrupt, praying that the commission sued out against him on the 14th of April 1826, might be superseded, on the g..ounds that he was not upon that day indebted in the sum of 1001. to Mr. Cooke, the petitioning'creditor, and that lie had not in fact committed any act of bankruptcy. Mr. ROUPEL, who appeared in support of the petition, stated; that Cooke's debt purported to be due on a bill of exchange, which, however, did not bear date until after the date of the commission. - This fact would appear on referring to certain proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas.upon an action of trespass, brought by the bankrupt against Cooke and his assignees, for turning hins forcibly out of his bonze. oppesed the petition, and declared the ap plication to be the most infamous proceeding that ever came under his observation. The bankrupt, as was said, brought an action for trespass, and certainly the verdict was in his favour, but the damages given to him as a compensation for the grievous injary complained of were one farthing and no more. But the matter did not rest there ; for the Court after wards set aside this verdict, and directed a nonsuit to be entacd up. Thu case was alguel at considerable length; and the Lord Chief Justice, in pronouncing the decision of the Court,,observed to Mr. Sergeant Wilde, who was one 'of the Counsel - for the bankrupt, that the Jury at the trial believed all his witnesses to be perjured.— it would appear that the bankrupt was not de terred 'by this declaration of his Lordship, for he subsequently preferred an indictment against his assignese and the messenger under the commission. The trial came on in last February at the Clerkenwell Sessions, when the bankrupt, as if he anticipated what mast be the result, did not show himself in Court, and the defendants were ac qUitted. The bankrupt, whose whole conduct was characterized by vexatious attempts to herrass and annoy his assignees into terms, gaye notice of another action. He thought that by subjecting these gentlemen to ruinous law expenses, he might in .the end succeed . is extorting such terms from them, as justice .would never have com pelled them to give. Under these circumstances, the learned gentleman trusted that his Honour would not con sider the bankrupt entitled to any indulgence from the Court. of Corunion'Pleas. No opinion could judicially on that point upon that the Vzcz 2 Cnika : c tm eL p s i ol n in ha g , i i v n in o g t j b u ee tlg n m d e e n te t, rm sa i i n d e, t i li b a y t n the aiave ba been :P n n t ° g h ( i e y -t e -li C, trial, inasmuch as the question had not been put in issue. The bankrupt, however, had the opportunity of trying it, and the question for his Honour's consideration now was, whether a bankrupt, who had not availed him self of the opportunity then afforded, was now entitled to the interference of this Court. His iioNourt was of opinion that the bankrupt, in hav ing neglected the former opportunity, forfeited the right to call on the Court for indulgence. He must therefore dis miss the petition, and leave the bankrupt to try the validity of the Commission at law. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY DOW -STREET. Henry Need was charged by a bouncing, five feet-ten Venus of Vinegar-yard, with inflicting a violent blow, "on the top of her bonnet." She- was supported by another Venus from the same immaculate region, and both swore that the conduct of Mr. Nevel was extremely disrespectful. The defendant, however, a smooth-spoken youth, of sonic seventeen Springs, stated, that the ladies introduced them selves most jovially to himself and friend, and that " being the most inoffensive young man in his Majesty's dominions, and much more tender on the whole than fierce ;" lie had o nly done it in the spirit of good humour; but that the c omplainant bad most unfeelingly consigned him to the inhospitable fastnesses of the watch-house, because he had refused to squire her to her domicile.—His friend here stepped:forward, with the formidable assertion, that he could indentify both of thud; but Mr. HALLS recommended a settlement, which was at length effected.

Mr. W. and his second appeared at the time ap pointed, but not meeting with his antagonist, tke affair ended without " effusion of blood." A LUMINOUS PUN.—A certain facetious Gentleman the other day, observed a shop-boy emptying a a large lamp into the gutter, rather to the annoyance of passengers, who had to keep clear of the spattering oil.

A couple had agreed to wed at Mansfield, last Friday morning, and all things appeared going on right; when, lo! the amorous swain discovering that his lover's two very, very best gowns were at " my uncle's " (in pawn), declined to " have her," unless they were re deemed, and the unlucky damsel not being able to " raise the wind," her laddie "declared off!" A LIVERY-MAN. —Th e daughter of a highly respectable tradesman in Cheapside, having lately run off with, and, married, a footman, the father, relating the cir cumstance to a c onfidential friend, observed, " Yet I wish to forgive the girl, and receive her husband, as it is now too late to part them. But then his condition ! How can I introduce him ?" " How !" replied his companion, "why introduce him as a Liveryman of the City of Lon don—what is more honourable'" The father took the hint ; and his son-in-law is now to be seen, instead of standing bellied, riding inside the carriage, the envy of other Livery-men less fortunate. A young Nobleman was lately boasting of the superior abilities of a famous blood horse he had recently purchased, and offered to back him at leaping against any horse in the county. An ould one ridiculed the idea, and said he had a blind hunter that should leap over what the other would not. A wager to no inconsiderable amount wa. the consequcnce, and day and place appointed. The time having arrived, both parties appeared on the ground with their nags ; when laying clown a straw at some distance, the ould one put his horse forward, and, at the word " over" the blind hunter made a famous leap, while neither whip nor spur could induce the other to rise at all. The wager wa s consequently lost by the boaster, who learnt, to his cost, that in some instances a blind horn zusy (IQ mere than a yoog one' in his prime,. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MARCH. • A renewal of the froit for upwards of a week, and variable weather, again put a stop to getting-in the spring crops, for which the linds universally were in a forward state, work ing remarkably well, from the effects of a, dry summer and a sufficiency of frost, though late in the winter. The far mers, of course, were under the necessity of a temporary suspension of the field culture, and of a return to their usual occupations, in such case, of carting manure, thrashi ng , or any object of immediate interest it the various business of the home-stall. Notwithstanding the heavy rains, the field culture has sing' , recommenced; and, on the best soils, sowing the spring crops is, in general, in a considerable state o forwardness, and the seed well got in. On the other hand, in low-lands subject to be flooded, and in those northern districts where the late high winds and snow storms have proved so injurious, field business has been much retarded, and its conclusion will necessarily be some what late. The great desideratum at present is a good cover of March dust, to absorb the superfluous moisture of the late rains, which, however, have been scarcely even yet in quantity sufficient to replenish and renew the springs in those counties where they were completely exhe.nsted by the summer's drought. If the wheats on the ground have really received any damage from the severity of the wea ther, it will most probably be experienced in Scotland, and in the northernmost and most exposed parts of the country. Taking the crop generally, it may be pronounced thus far safe, and of good promise; for, standing thick upon the ground, as for the most part it did, thinning of it, in a slight degree, may prove rather beneficial than otherwise. The clovers and various seed crops are said not to have escaped considerable damage. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
