With respect to North America, it was pets; !t matter of regret that the difficulties in the way of iq y et ig down the Slave Trade in that country had not been Z el oored. For although abetter feeling was springing up of th e U nited States, it was still to be lamented that some teis e Most opulent and influential individuals in that other of L fr ee Country derived their income from the breeding ei„ e - Tea for the market, in the same manner as cattle were to detail rear e d.

The two 41 % mould not mica at allinwernouth Journal, LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. SUDDEN V. MONTAGU. A BREEZE! Mr. SconEN stated, that in a case that was before the Court a day or two ago, and in which he appeared on one side, and Mr. Montagu on the other, Mr. Montagu had made use of the term sharp practitioners—applying it to his (Mr. Sugden's) clients, which had got into print, and given considerable pain to the feeling of those gentlemen. For his (Mr. Sugden's) own part, he had not the pleasure of knowing much of the Solicitors alluded to, yet he be lieved them to be highly respectable, and did not think Mr. Montagu's observation was intended offensively. The LORD CHANCELLOR believed them to be most re spectable. Mr. MONTAGU had always been most anxious to avoid giving pain to any individual's feelings, and although he did use the words " most sharp practitioners" in the pre sent case, he meant nothing but what he was prepared to repeat. Mr. SUGDEN considered that if any blame was at tributable to his clients in consequence of sharpness in this case, he himself was liable to an equal degree of censure. His Loanstur did not understand that Mr. Montagu, by the term he used, meant to say that the Solicitors were not most respectable persons ? • Mr. MONTAGU—.-Certainly not. Mr. SUGDEN then, considered that he must have meant to pay the Solicitors a compliment. Mr. MONTAGU meant no such thing. In the present instance, he felt the practice that had been adopted to have been most sharp and wrong, whoever was concerned in it. Mr. Sucnax—lf you are going to turn the attack on me, I can only tell you that 'spurn it and laugh at it. Mr. MONTAGU—You may spurn and laugh at what you please ; but your scorn and laughter will never prevent me discharging my duty. My Lord, I have been Counsel for these gentlemen the last twenty years, and certainly I should be the last to say they were not respectable ; but I contend, on this occasion, the practice which gave rise to my observation, if it came from Messrs. Hurd and John son, was sharp and wrong—if it came from Mr. Sugden, it was sharp and wrong. Mr. SUGDEN—Then I spurn it, and treat it with the most bitter contempt, as far as it regards myself; and as it concerns my clients, they anust be brought here in a dif ferent way to be complained of. Mr. MONTAGU—The man who treats any thing with contempt has faculties he knows not how to use. Mr. SucnEN—Why do you turn round on me? I was not in the slightest de7ee out of humour this morning, nor meant to give for one angry observation. Mr. AIONTACII-You have acknowledged yourself to be liable to any censure attaching to the practise that was adopted. His LORDSHIP-Well, but really we must put an end to this, and I think that when such expressions as these are used in a moment of haste, they ought not to be put in the Newspapers. It is a misfortune that they get into the public prints. Mr. Mowracu—Why my Lord, taking all things into consideration, I do not think it is a misfortune. His LoaDm-lir—Well, but you did not mean to say they were not respectable? Mr. MoNTA u—Certainly not. His LORDSHIP-That is enough. Call the next case. TH2, LATE HENRY FAUNTLEROY. Mr. HORNE stated, that on a former day, when he ap plied to have a petition, in the matter of Marsh, Stracey, and Co., bankrupts, advanced, the Court put it to him to say whether it was of such an urgent nature as that it ought to have the precedence of other matters ; he was not then so able as he was now to say, that it was of great im portance to have the petition heard immediately, because the decision of the Court on this petition, would decide a great many cases involving property to the amount of more than 250,0001. If the Bank of England were not enabled to arrange these cases without delay, a great many actions would be brought and hills filed against them. . . . His LORDSHIP did not think the Bank were in much dan ger of such steps being taken at the present moment. Mr. HORNS said the Bank was threatened with such proceedings, and there were people who thought they did a good deal when they had secured costs of proceedings.— The petition brought forward a very short point, and the Court's decision upon it would be a clue to the Bank to proceed respecting all the other cases relating to the same matter. Mr. MONTAGU was on the other side; and though his clients would afford every facility to the speedy hearing of the petition, yet he felt bound to say, in his opinion, it would take a considerable time. Mr. HORNE observed, that the case related to stock to an enormous amount that had been abstracted by forgery, and that Lord Eldon had always considered it so important, as, in all its stages, to advance it on application. His LORDSHIP knew the case very well, and desired it to stand for this day fortnight. - HABEAS CORPUS. IN THE MATTER OF THOS. REEK, A BANKRUPT. The bankrupt was committed to Newgate about three months ago, by the Fourteenth List of Commissioners, for not answering, to their satisfiction, the questions they had put to him under a commission of bankrupt, taken out against him respecting an assignment of his property made to his brother about five weeks before the issuing of the commission, and was brought up by a writ of Habeas Corpus to be discharged. The bankrupt was a draper at Shoreditch. lie had also had a shop at Chatham. as well a one at Chelmsford. His brother assisted him in carrying on the Chatham business, and the Commissioners considered that the assignment of the property there to the brother was fraudulent, and that the bankrupt's answers respecting the transaction were unsatisfactory. Mr. Spence appeared for the bankrupt, and endeavoured to show that though some of the answers taken abstractedly might have been considered unsatisfactory, yet that the re sult of the examination ought to hare been satisfactory to the Commissioners. Mr. Rosa was Counsel for the assignees, and after hav ing been heard, The COURT thought with the Commissioners, that the answers were most unsatisfactory, and that, therefore, until he could give more satisfactory ones, he would have to go back to prison. Thus was this gentleman again "floored," whom Mr. Rose supposed, from the expressions used by him in his letters, had been educated at the " London Fancy Uni versity." COURT OP ICING'S BENCH. MANDAMUS. THE ICING V. THE MAYOR AND CORN:MATZOH Or NEW CASTLE-UPON -TYNE. Mr. CAIareELL, on the affidavit of Mr. C. Flint and two Freemen of the borough of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, moved for a rule to shew cause why a Writ of Mandamus should net be issued, directing the Mayor and Town Clerk of that borough to produce the ancient records and charters thereof, in order that the right of the Common Council to make Honorary Burgesses might be ascertained.—Rule granted. THE KING V. THE LORD MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF LONDON. Mr. PARK applied in this case for an extension of time, upon an affidavit stating, that the proceedings of the City Law Officers, in search of the records, were stayed by a Court of Aldermen held on the sth instant, which came to a decision to swear in Mr. Sheriff Winchester ; which decision was, however, rescinded by the next Court of Al dermen, held on the 12th ; and in conseqtr;:iice of the de lay it was now sought to enlarge the rule. Lord TENTIRDEN asked when the first Court of Alder men should take place? The Commozr S ERGEANT said that they would meet on Monday week. Lord TENTERDEN then inquired on what notice a Court could be called. Mr. GURNEY saki co days' notice were necessary, and added that a notice had been given this day to meet on Tuesday. Lord TENTERDEN then said, that the proceedings of the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday next might be reported to this Court on Wednesday, hut in the meantim e he caution ed the Corporation against swearing in the adverse party, Mr. Wilde. _ The COMMON-SERCEANT observed, there was no danger of that. Lord TENTERDEN.—I do not know as to that, but it is necessary to caution public bodies regarding their proceedings. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Peter Rickley Weston. The application was made on the affidavit of a Mr. Charles Dawson, an attorney in London, which stated that, in March last, he was em ployed by a gentleman (whose name the Learned Gentle man, from motives of delicacy, forbore to mention) to whose daughter Mr. Weston made proposals of marriage, to examine the state of Mr. Weston's property. Mr. Weston, accordingly, had an interview with Mr. D., at which he entered fully into the state of his affairs. He represented that he had 6,0001. of cash in the hands of the Corporation of Liverpool; that he had a freehold in Liverpool, on which he proposed to build ten or twelve houses, which he could do at the expense of 8001. each; 1144 he uPest4d d ycffily roAt Qt . 1 004 Or each, ps, HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trueses.)

Davvion took careful minutes of all his statements, and a few days afterwards wrote him a letter, stating that after carefully exaraining them, he•considered that 1601. was by far too high a return, on houses built at 8001. That he was afraid Air. Weston was too sanguine, and that, there fore, it was impossible not to distrust the realization of his expectations. Mr. Weston immediately sent an answer to this letter, at the outset of which he reserved to himself to make a further reply to Mr. Dawson 's letter ; and in the mean time he contented him self by recalling to Mr. D.'s recollection, several cir cumstances formerly communicated, which he (Mr. W.) conceived Mr. D. had overlooked. Mr. D. next day, be ing the 17th of March, replied to this letter that it was far from his intention to impute any misrepresentation to Mr. W. ; that he had no doubt of kis honour ; that he did not mean to state that he did not give a correct state ment of the facts; all he meant was, that Mr. W. might have been mistaken in his judgment of the result of these facts. Mr. Dawson heard nothing further about the mat ter till the last day of the last term, when lie received another letter from Mr. Weston, dated at No. 1, Stone Buildings, in which, after recalling to Mr. D.'s re. collection the reservation contained in the first letter, Mr. W. roundly charged him with quibbling and falsehood, called him a liar and a villain, and challenged him to meet him at Calais, in Whiteun-week. Lord TENTERDEN.-Take a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Mr. Justice PARK sat in Equity for about an hour this morning, but nothing of interest occurred. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE KING V. CNECCO. In this•case, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron last term, and a verdict returned against the de fendant for smuggling, with 4001. damages, Mr. JEavis now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on affida vits of surprise. It will be recollected that the plaintiff's case was supported by an Italian named Mazzucci, who, as an accomplice, swore that the defendant had with him, smuggled a quantity of coral, and corroborated his evidence by producing three letters, which he alleged the defendant had written to him in London; and, by the evidence of Janetta Hall, who swore that she was servant only to the plaintiff, and that when the defendant was in formed of the coral being seized, he betrayed great agita tion. The defendant, however, now made affidavit that he had never sent the above-mentioi.ed letters P • that the plaintiff was in Italy at the time he swore to having re ceived them in London; that he (the defendant) knew no thing whatever about the coral,; and that Janetta Hall was living improperly with the plaintiff at the time that she swore that she was his servant. To this fact he produced two other affidavits.—Rule granted. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARI There wa►s a good supply at t trade was rather dull.

To say that he equals Liston in this character, would be doing injustice to both parties : for the part is peculiarly fitted for Liston, both with regard to its mental and physical features. His humour, however, was'very rich, and his conception of the character full as correct as that of his great prototype. After the Comedy, a new lively little In terlude was produced, entitled All's Right, or the Old School-fellow, in which Laporte made hits appearance in the character of " Mr. Cool," a gentleman of infinite sang froid and assurance. It was highly and delervedly suc cessful. THE THAMES TUNNEL.--(THIS DAY.)-- It is with satisfaction we state that the mean. adopted to stop the second aperture have been completely successful, and that as soon au the raft shall have been prepared, will be again sunk, in order to afford additional protection to the workmen, in the further preservation of this undertak ing. The water in the shaft and Tunnel has been drawn out to an extent sufficient to permit a minute inspection of the brickwork this morning, and it has been found un injured, although exposed for so long a time to the action of the tide. The 'vertical pressure of water in each square foot at high tide, is equal to twenty cwt., and that the clay, &e. thrown overboard, is sufficient to bear thiszreat pressure is evinced by the fact, that no increase of water is now experienced in the Tunnel on the flow of the tide. It is fully expected by Mr. Brunel, that, in the course of a few days, the work will be again resumed. ROWING MATCH.—The annual rowing match for Mr. KEAN'S wherry took place yesterday. The signal given by M r . K EAN , w h o was i n an e i ght-oare d galley, was given at four o'eloek, by firing a pistol. Seven boats were placed for the first heat. The heat was very se verely, and very equally contested, until the boats reached Lawn Cottage, opposite to which a boat was moored, round which they turned. For the second, and final heat, the three first boats in the former heat started. It did not afford so much sport as the first, as the boats were repeat edly fouled, as it is termed, and considerable confusion en sued in consequence. It was won, with some difficulty, by JAS. PARISH and JOHN MAYNARD, who wore light blue colours; they were consequently declared entitled to the wherry. The company on the river was very nu merous. The wherry (containing the winners) was this morning.carried in procession, on the shoulders of about 30 watermen, to Mr. KmArr's - lodgings in the Adelphi. The watermen then gave him three times three cheers, the band playing, " See the conquering hero comes." Sir W. Congrere, Bart. one of our represen tatives in Parliament, has expressed his intention to vacate his seat, and Sir George Cockburn, we hear, intends to offer himself as a candidate for the representation, which, rumour says, will be strongly contested by a gentleman of this neighbourhood, who is already connected with the cor porate body, and well known to the inhabitants.--Pli mouth Journal. THE CHART OF HEALTH.---We have re ceived a Chart three feet long by two broad, entitled the " Chart of Health," which gives an account of no less than BO diseases (enough to satisfy the most unreasonable conscience), togeth e r with as many modes of prevention and cure. We are much pleased with this idea; it de serves to be hung up on the wall of every cottage in the kingdom, and will, we doubt not, if judiciously cir culated, make as many hypochondriacs as a professed treatise on Medicine. An honest farmer, for instance, who has indulged somewhat abundantly in the dietetic luxuries of fat beans and bacon, discovers in the simplicity of his heart that he has merely occasioned indigestion ; on referring to the " Chart of Health," however, he finds out to his infinite .satisfaction that he has got " distension of the stomach, flatulent eructations, general debility, aver sion to motion, dejection of spirits, acrid eructation, heart burn, costiveness, and diarrhcea!" to cure which he must instantly have recourse to " magnesia and chalk." This is one striking benefit resulting from what is called the " march of mind :" for our own parts we hold with GRAY, that " Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise." THE MAGISTRACY.—We learn with great pain, upon the authority of the Catholic Papers, that the statement is true, which we hoped had been only rumour —that the Lord Chancellor had refused to make Sir Pat. Bellew a Magistrate, upon the sole grounds that ho was a Member of the Catholic Association. Our respect for persons, or our deference to authority, shall never induce us to shrink from a public duty, and that sense of duty prevents our being silent upon the present occasion.— DOlirt ?atria, INTERESTING NARRATIVE. , The following interesting narrative is taken from the log-book of the Dundee, Captain David Duncan, whose arrival at Lerwick, from Davis's Straits, we noticed yesterday :--- LERwxcx, MAT. —Arrival of the ship Dundee, of Lon don, from Davis's Straits, together with a slight sketch of the hardships the ship's company experienced during a severe winter in a place where man never wintered before.

" The Dundee has been wonderfully preserved ; she was beset in lat. 74. 30, and was liberated in lat. 63; she drove, in one solid body of ice, from August 23, 1826, until April 16, 1827. The Haarlem Dutch ship, of Harlingen, was lost close by the Dundee on Aug. 23 ; The crew saved no provisions but came (to the number of 46) on board of us from the 23d August to the 6th of October; as, however, there was not the slightest appearance of the ice separating, they resolved to set out for Levely, a Danish settlement, about 350 miles distant ; they took their de parture in three open boats, with the frost so insupportably intense, that I much doubt whether they will ever reach Levely. I supplied them amply with provisions, and sent all hands to assist in dragging their boats towards a lean, or opening of water. From the mast head r watched the parting of the two ships' companies, which was affecting in the extreme, and heightened by an acute sense of their mutual dangers. On February Ist, we caught a whale, and another on the 16th, which was a great relief to our crew, as by that means we caught the sharks which came to feed upon the dead fish. All of us at this period were frost-bitten, some severely so. While we were disposing of the blub ber, we found to our infinite regret that all the water in the casks was congealed to a mass of solid ice; the beads too burst, so they were hoisted on deck for the cooper to repair. On February 22d an enormous ice-berg advanced direct towards the vessel's stern : all hands were instantly on the alert, and most of the crew leaped on the ice with which we were hemmed in, with their clothes in their hands, concluding as a matter of course, that the ship would be lost. We lowered also on the ice 6 cwt. of bread, and had scarcely effected our operations, when onwards with a tremendous crash came the ice-berg, cracking the ice in every dimtion. At this moment a number of our man were be hind the gigantic mass, and made certain that the vessel was crushed to atoms : in a short time, however, they again saw her, and hailed her with three hearty and enthusiastic checi - s. When the ice-berg passed the ship, the cooper was busy working on the ice ; it instantly ran over 30 tone of casks and one of the whale-boats, lines, &e. The few hands that remained on board assisted in loosing the head sails, and as soon as there was room for the ship to cant between the flaws of ice and the berg, she did so, and escaped uninjured. Our escape was really miraculous, for often at dead of night have we been alarmed by the awful sound of the ice-bergs, as they came rushing, with the voice of thunder, towards us, and tearing up whole fields of ice in their way. With a view to obviate this danger, we were in the habit of going across the ice with lanterns,and minutely inspecting it in every possible d irection. We did not see the sun fur full 75 days, during which time there was about four hours twilight ; the frost was intense; the crew could not even walk the deck for five minutes without being frost-bitten. In short we should'all have pe rished had we not luckily got some broken spars and staves from the Dutch wreck, with which we cooked our victuals. Great credit is due to Mr. Gale, owner of the Dun dee, for the complete manner in which he victualled the ship ; we were enabled by his means to as sist not only the Dutch vessel (for which at one time I ran some risk of personal violence from my crew), but also to make our stores hold out till more effectual succour arrived. We lost two Shetland men at the commencement of the season : all the ship's company are still very weak, but are gradually gaining strength since we obtained pro visions from the following vessels 28, spoke the Bon Accord, of Aberdeen, the first ship we have seen for eight months and five days, three weeks since she left Scot land. Spoke to the Lady Jane, of Shielde•'dn`e _ • spoke to the Rambler, of Kirkaldy, fourteerithliatisirifl left home, one fish ; spoke to C a pt a i n L e e, o f lite L e e, Hull, two fish, in lat. 61. 20. and long. 61. 10. ; they all behaved very kindly towards us, and gave us such articles as we stood in need of. May Bth, at 8 A. 11., I saw four strange ships; I immediately steered towards them in hat. 60. 27 long. 61. W., and hoisted my ensign as I wanted instant relief. When they perceived it was the Dundee, all the Captains lowered their boats, and came on board of us with every necessary convenience. The four last ships were, first, the Core of Cork, Captain Pal mer; second, the Princess of TVales, of Aberdeen, Captain White; third thePhatnix, of Whitby, Capt. A Ilaley ; fourth, the 'Triad, of Kirkaldy, Captain Davison..—May 7th, I took my departure for London, as I thought we had enough provisions ; during our passage to Shetland, May 14th, in lat. 56. 1 long. 37. 53. we passed the Dorothy of Dundee, lying to,itl a gale of wind. RIOTS AT NORWICH. (rURTWERPARTICULARS 10ECEIVED YESTZUDAT.) Isfaswicii, JUNE 14.,About an hour after the mail left yesterday, some other witnesses that had been brought up for examination, were escorted out of Norwich to Wy mondhain by about thirty of the Yeomanry. The ob noxious witnesses, who first gave the information to their employers, left the Castle at four in the morning, when all was quiet. The examinations before the Magistrates con tinued the whole of yesterday, and ended with the commit tal of several of the rioters for trial at our ensuing Assizes. From the best information I can obtain, about thirty per sons, including the military, were wounded, more or less severely. One fellow, who had thrown several stones at the Lancers, and was about to hurl another, was shot through the right arm by a non-commissioned officer, when one of his superiors riding up said, "I hope you have not killed the man." "No, Sir," was the reply of the Water loo veteran, " I have only winged him—he'll throw no more to-night." Another individual, who was very active in the affray, had a lance thrust through his thigh. In many of the country churches in France, the men are stationed on one side, the women on the other. Now, it so happened, that one day, when the preacher was holding forth, he heard a conversation among his audience which sadly distracted his attention. Of course he made bitter complaints, on which, a woman, anxious to vindi cate the honour of her sex, jumped up and said, " The talking is not on our side, father." " lam delighted to hear it, my love," replied the clergyman, " for it will be over the sooner."—Le Fund. The uttering of forged notes is still carried on as extensively as ever ; in addition to those recorded in our last, we have heard that a woman was taken up on Saturday while attempting to pass one of Sir W. Forbes and Co.'s bank at a shop in this city. Too much care cannot be taken by shopkeepers in examining notes offer ed them for change by suspicious characters, by whom, no doubt, this unlawful profession is carried on much more extensively than the public are generally aware of.— Since writing the above, we have hears that two men and a woman were apprehended on Monday evening near the Cross, untkr suspicion of being dealers in the same eon traband article. They were taken to the police-office, end there searched, when eight forged notes of the above bank were found upon them. The parties were brought np at the police-of:lc e yesterday, from whence they were remit ted to the Chamber, and are committed to gaol. We un derstand that an Irishwoman, lately conic over from that country, is known to have in her possession several hun dreds of those notes : the forgery is executed in a wretched manner, and may be detected by the most superficial ob servation.— Glasgow Free Press. GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.—TIIO workmen employed in excavating stone from the quarry of Craigleith, hare lately made a curious discovery of a petrified tree. It was found lying nearly in a horizontal position, but con forming exactly, in inclination, with the dip of the sur rounding strata of sandstone, (which, however, is not very great,) in a part of the quarry nearly 200 feet beneath the o ea r t: g tl i is al st b l i fa ,) ce. That portion o f th e t run k w hi c h h as already been extracted, (for mu c h of it s till re m a i n s i n it s must, we should think, measure nearly 30 feet ; the diameter at the thickest part is about three feet. The outer surface of the tree has been turned into coal, somewhat similar to cannel coal ; it is very brittle, and dis plays an imperfect conchoidal fracture, and shining lustre; the interior is a hard stone, except here and there, where it is converted into a substance resembling charcoal, quite soft and light. No traces of the fibres of the wood are vi sible to the naked eye; but upon subjecting to the micro scope a slice cut across the direction of the grain, of the thickness of a sheet of paper, the pores of the sap vessels are distinctly perceptible. In many parts, the fossil has been penetrated by calcareous matter ; small crystals of pearl spar may be discovered dispersed through it ; it also contains traces of galena and iron pyrites ; and some cre vices are filled with what appears to be common sandstone. It is to be regretted that this curious petrifaction has been broken to pieces by the quarrymen, in order to facilitate its removal out of their way. It may, however be satisfactory to the curious in such matters to learn, that the fragments have been put aside, in a part of the quarry where they may be easily cmeguihicds v rEdinburg4 jr‘cfily (Thwack, PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to extend to any city or town in which the assize or sale of bread is provided for by a local Act. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.--FRIDAY, JUNE 15. These races concluded this day, after four days admirable sport. The countenance and support afforded by his Ma jesty, aided by the able directions of the Steward, Lord Maryborough, and the excellent arrangements of Mr. Jenner, have given great satisfaction ; and the meeting, without being superior to former years, has lost none of its superiority over most other races. In the minor details there is much to praise ; every thing was conducted with that precision which has acquired for Ascot the character of being the best kept course in England. The King was again present, having arrived at the same hour, with the same equipage, and the same attendants.— His Majesty, in the course of the day, expressed his sense of the excellence of the running, and his determination to give the races his cordial support. His Majesty left after the last race, amidst the acclamations of the spectators. The company was more select than numerous, and, as is always the case on the last day, every thing was dull, and the gloominess was not a little heightened by the threatening state of the weather. Many of the Noblemen who have been before mentioned were again present. The day's races came off thus— The Wokingham Stakes of 5 Boys. each, for three-yr-olds and upwards.
