COUNTY RATES THE FOLLOWING IS THE FIRST REPORT OF THE LORDS' SELECT COMMITTEE APPOINTED "TO INQUIRE INTO THE CHARGES ON THE COUNTY RATES IN ENGLAND AND WALES, &C." That the Committee have met ; and having prosecuted their inquiries, as well into the extent to which county ex penditure has increased, as into the causes by which that increase has been occasioned, proceed to submit the result of their inquiries as far as they have hitherto gone, together with such suggestions as have occurred to them as to the means by which that expenditure may be reduced or more equitably provided for. It appears, upon a comparison of the county expenditure, taken at decennial periods from 1792 to 1832, that the in crease has been both progressive and considerable. The county rates in 1792 amounted to 303,2671., and in 1832 to 774,8331., being an increase of 155 per cent. ; and, as the heads of this expenditure have throughout remained unaltered, the Committee have had little difficulty in ascer taining, by an analysis of the returns which have been laid before them, the causes to which the increase may be attri buted, and in forming their judgment as to the best mode in which any saving may be effected. From this analysis of the returns, it appears that a large portion of the in creased amount of county rates has been occasioned by causes connected with, and dependent upon, what may be deemed in themselves evidence and results of the growing population of the country, and of general improvement in its condition. .The great extension, during the period above _ referred to, of improved means of communication through out the country, has naturally called upon the counties for increased contributions for the erection of bridges ; an ur gent necessity has at times existed of having recourse to ex traordinary expenses in preserving the public peace ; the great increase of county business generally has swelled the demand for legal charges ; and various other incidental items have also added to the general mass of county ex penditure. To that portion, therefore, of the augmented charge the Committee do not conceive that they are called upon to advert, as requiring the special interference of the Legislature with a view to relief from it as a burden. But their serious attention has been directed to another branch of charge which has greatly increased of late years, and which presses with peculiar severity upon those county re sources from which county rates are levied ; they allude to the large expense incurred for the administration of criminal justice throughout the country. The crimes, for the repres sion of which this expense is borne by the landed interest exclusively, mainly affect personal property, as far at least as regards many of the minor felonies ; and the Committee cannot but consider that such a mode of providing for such an expense is no less partial than onerous. They are desirous, therefore, of calling the attention, somewhat in detail, to its nature and progressive amount. It appears to have been, in some degree, occasioned by the altered construe ton, as well as the increased number, of gaols and houses of correction ; by the system of classification and more strict discipline which has been generally introduced into prisons of late years ; and by various regulations of a ge neral nature which have been deemed necessary for the improvement of places destined for the reception of cri minals. But that portion of the increased expenditure which is caused by the allowances for the expenses of pro secutions appears to the Committee in a far different light, and requires particular consideration. In the year 1792 the country charges for prosecutions in England and Wales did not exceed 34,343/. ; in 1832 they amounted to 150,5251., being an increase of 338 per cent. It is true that during this period the augmentation of population might fairly account for part of this excess ; but an aug mentation of population from 55 to 60 per cent. is insuf ficient to account for an increase of allowance for prose cutions amounting to 338 per cent. ; and the Committee are of opinion that much of it is to be ascribed to the opera tion of the 58 Geo. 111., c. 70. Previous to the passing of that act, the statutable re wards for the conviction of certain offenders operated as an adequate encouragement for the prosecution of persons guilty of counterfeiting coin, burglary, housebreaking, rob bing in shops, warehouses, coach-houses, or stables, or stealing horses, or stealing or destroying sheep or cattle. These crimes constitute the great mass of offences tried at the Assizes, and the statutable rewards for the conviction of the offenders were payable in the first instance by the Sheriffs, and were taken as far as they went, to defray the expenses of the prosecutions, and allowed to the respective Sheriffs in accounting with the Crown. The costs of such prosecutions to that extent were thus charged upon the general revenues of the country. The 58 Geo. 111., c. 70., at the same time that it repeals all such parts of former statutes as provided that rewards should be paid to prosecutors upon conviction for the above recited crimes, provides that the county rates shall in future be charged with the allowance to prosecutors in such pro secutions. To this transfer of payment for prosecutions from the public purse to the county rates is to be added the increased charge arising from allowance of costs in the prosecution of certain misdemeanors, which has been allowed by subse quent statutes. Thus, then, the recent change in the law has thrown exclusively upon the land the whole expense of prosecutions, in the carrying on of which personal property is equally interested. It is not immaterial to add, that the allowances for pro secutions at the Assizes, over which the county magistrates have no control, are generally three-fold the amount of those which are given for similar prosecutions at the Ses sions, where the magistrates possess and exercise a direct and rigid supervision. Upon a review of all these considerations the Committee feel themselves warranted in calling the serious attention of the House to the equity, not to say necessity, of making some alteration of the law in this respect ; and therefore strongly recommend that the costs of prosecutions at the Assizes should be borne by the general revenues of the State, under such regulations as may effectually prevent all abuse and unnecessary expenditure. It further appears to the Committee, that the county rates, which have hitherto been submitted to with passive indifference, have been rendered liable to many payments which in principle and analogy should be charged upon the general funds of the country. They would exemplify this observation by the charges of conveying transports to the places of embarkation. The expenses of transportation from the place of embarkation are charged upon the public purse, and there appear no reasonable grounds for exempting the "same from the ex pense of conveying the convicts from the prisons of the in terior to the places of embarkation. The same observations apply in principle to the charge of supporting smugglers in gaol at the county expense ; and the Committee are of opinion that all such revenues should be defrayed out of the revenue of the department whose laws are broken. However much the Committee may have reason to la ment the increase of county expenditure in minor points, and more especially in the:payments to Clerks of the Peace, as well as in the salaries of officers, and other incidental expenses, they abstain from making further direct observa tion upon them, inasmuch as any abuse in such respects may be remedied by the existing powers of the superintend ing magistracy. The attention of the magistracy has been directed to the importance of economy in county expenditure, as has been lately evinced in more than one county, by their re fusal to sanction charges upon county rates for returns made to Secretaries of State, or either House of Parliament, which, although generally complied with, are, nevertheless, not warranted by law ; and the Committee cannot but en tertain the opinion, that the public revenues should be liable to all disbursements incurred in obtaining statistical or other_ information for the use of the Legislature or any public de partment. The Committee, having thus stated their general views upon the important matter submitted to their considera tion, beg to lay before the House the evidence which they have taken, together with an appendix, and also an index to this their first report.--(The evidence is not yet printed.) June 24. During the past week twenty four persons were convicted and fined in mitigated penalties for allowing their doge to go loose in the streets.—Birmingham Gazette. Justice is said to be blind. This, we presume, ac counts for the curious antics she sometimes plays. At the sessions held last week at Lewes, a man was convicted of two distinct offences, of stealing a duck and a drake, and of steal ing two hens and two pullets. We should have supposed that the larger theft merited the larger punishment ; but blind justice thought differently, for she only imprisons the thief one week for stealing the hens and pullets, while she transports him for seven years for taking the brace of ducks. Hence it seems that the rule is to diminish the punishment as the enormity of the offence increases.—Brighton Guardian. On Friday the following affecting particulars were detailed at an inquest held at the house of Mr. Randerson, the Scarborough Castle Inn, Hunslet-lane, on the body of David Hepworth, an elderly man, sixty-one years of age, who kept a flour-shop next door but one to tho above inn.

The holders of Prizes will have the option o freceiving the Property (or Money, as soon as drawn) deducting five per cent. on prizes above 1001. to cover expenses in selling that property. Martin and Co. sold No. 404, a Prize of 10,0001., at No. 8, Cornhill, and No. 86, Oxford-street ; and, as usual, paid the same on demand. We now present THE SUN to our readers in the enlarged form which we promised at the beginning of the Session. The delay arose entirely from unavoid able circumstances which we could not contemplate, and the disappointment of the public cannot have been greater than our own. From the additional facilities which the increased size of the paper affords, together with new type and superior machinery, we hope to render THE SUN still more worthy of general support, for we appeal not to any party, but to the public at large. It is our intention, as opportunity permits, to devote a fair share of the paper to Literary and Scientc, as well as to other purposes ; but as " doings" are better than "sayings," we shall leave it to the public to judge THE SUN according to its future deserts. *lttt. efir LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1834. It is seldom that a Minister of the Crown has such an honour conferred on him as that tribute of confi dence and respect with which the House of Commons has just honoured Lard ALTUORP. We understand that the number of signatures, up to last night, amounted to 400, including Radical Whigs, and Whigs approaching almost to the character of Conservatives. The extremes of the party, indeed, _ . seem as anxious to support the Minister as those immediately connected with him, and if the Tories could have done so consistently with their politics, they would not have been backward in expressing their sense of his high honour, integrity, and impartiality in the discharge of his public duty. It reflects no little credit too on a reformed Parliament, that they should attach so little importance to spirited harangues and skill in debate, and judge of the Minister rather by his acts than his words. The time is now gone by when eloquence, impassioned speeches, and oratorical display take the place of common sense and reason, and force a House of Commons to adopt resolutions which in their cooler moments they would condemn. No man ever had fewer of the qualities which at one time were con- sidered essential to a leader than Lord ALTHORP, He is phlegmatic in his manner ; he is often confused and indistinct in his language, and wants the haughty, determination of LITT, as much as the cool hardihood of C A STLEREAGH ; yet he carries with him his own followers as effectually as either of these Statesmen did, and that too by conciliating, rather than pro voking, his opponents. The Tories still lament, and justly, that his good nature carried the Reform Bill. If any party however have more reason than another to support this Minister, it is the O'Connellite party, and their leader we believe is fully aware of the fact. If the Tories had come into power they would have !eft no measure untried to crush his influence in Ire- land—the Orangemen would have been encouraged to employ their unmitigated hostility to the Catholics —riots and bloodshed would have been the con sequence, and in the end the country would have been reduced to such a condition as to justify almost any House of Commons in passing sore strong measure to repress the violence of both parties. By Lord ALTHORP'S return to power any necessity for such a course has been avoided; he is pledged to redress Irish wrongs—the Coercion Bill will be passed in a mitigated form, and the Repealers will act wisely in refraining from agitation till th e y see h ow _ _ the pledge is redeemed, in order not only to show their gratitude to those Ministers who opposed the obnoxious clauses, but to prove to the House of Commons and the country that they are justified in taking such a lenient course. If they act otherwise, while Ministers are straining every nerve against violent opposition to redress grievances, they may rest assured that another session will not pass over without some strong measure. The Ministers— THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1834 nay the great body of the people of England, are anxious to place Ireland on an equal footing with this country ; they will reform the Irish Church, and lighten the bur dens of the Catholics ; but if, after this, measures are persevered in for separating the two countries, the House of Commons will speak out in a manner not to be misunderstood. There is no fact more indisputable than this. While Ireland had so many grounds of complaint, only one English Member was found to vote for repeal, and we leave the Repealers to judge what will be the tone of that House when these grounds of complaint are removed, and attempts are still made to effect an object which would endanger the security of the Empire. From the turn which circumstances have taken, it is evident that the obnoxious clauses of the Coercion Bill will be omitted. Lord ALTHORP could not carry through the House measures which it is now known he, and the most efficient of his coadjutors in the Commons, protested against in the Cabinet. A Cabinet Council was held this day, for the pur pose of completing the Ministerial arrangements. By ' to-morrow, we suppose, all will be settled, and the country be put in full possession of the names of those to whom the guardianship of its liberties is to by hence forth intrusted. Meanwhile, enough has already transpired to calm down all public apprehension on the subject. It is rather curiosity than anxiety, that the country now feels. The reappointment of Lord AL -1 !TORY has dissipated all those gloomy conjectures and anticipations which but one short week since took such forcible possession of the public mind. His Lordship being again in office, it follows almost as a matter of course, that the new Cabinet should answer public expectation. By-the-bye, some of our Morning Con temporaries are exceedingly nervous on this point. They seem to think that his Lordship having re signed, he must instantly put four horses to his car- riage, travel down to Northamptonshire, and u dergo the process of re-election. We are happy to have it in our power to remove all their amiable doubts and apprehensions on this score. His Lordship need do no such thing. True, he resigned but his seals of office were not formally lodged in his MAJESTY'S hands ; no successor was appointed ; no successor was even dreamed of—notwithstandin g what the Tories may have urged, and still urge to the contrary—nothing, in fact, was finally settled ; and such being the case, his Lordship can re-enter the House of Commons as first Minister of the Crown there, without giving his friends in Northampton- shire an opportunity of again testifying the warmth of their respect and attachment towards him. Our contemporaries will, of course, be delighted to hear that such is the case. They are exceedingly profuse of liberal sayings ; indeed, if one may judge of them by their professions, they positively overflow with libe rality ; and cannot therefore but be delighted to learn that they have been in error in this instance. We have said that certain of our contemporaries are profuse in their profession of liberal sentiments. It is a pity that they show this spirit in so eccentric a man ner ; and in their eagerness to secure the greatest amount of good for their countrymen—of whom, and perhaps not without justice, they look on themselves as the pride and the ornament—do all in their power to deprive them of it. Thus we find them taking, time by the forelock—anticipating grievances, and ac tually condemning a Ministry, which is yet but a chick in the egg-shell, and all their knowledge of which amounts just to this, that when formed, it will be formed on a principle of union and decision. And what makes this display of liberality the more droll and original, is that our contemporaries actually supported the Government, when it was notoriously disunited ; and only began to - find fault with it when its greatest stumbling-blocks were removed out of its path by the retirement of Mr. STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRA HAM ! Then, and not till then, did one of the most influential among our contemporaries discover that all was not what it should be. So long as an infusion of Tory spirit remained in the Cabinet, it was thought worthy of the high honour of its approbation ; but the very hour—nay, the very instant such incumbrande was got rid of, our contemporary' s jealous liberality took the alarm ; his eyes were opened, and with a grave mysterious shake of the head, he predicted all sorts of horrors arid disasters to the country. Fortunately, he has lived to see his error. and as he is by no means deficient in sagacity, we confidently expect to find him in a few days extolling the new Ministry to the skies. In this he will be only echoing the voice of the country, which, for one generation at least to come, will turn a deaf ear to the Tory charm ers, " charm they never so wisely." Had there been the slightest chance for this party, we should have found it out ere this. They were at work in every quarter—there were hurryings and scurryings to and from Apsley House, the like of which was never be fore heard of, yet—all ended in nothing I When the time arrived for the Tory muster-roll at the Carlton Club, scarce a man among them but was reported ab sent. They could talk of responsibility, but they did not dare to face it. The indignation of the country, which they always professed to despise, was too much for their delicate and disordered apprehensions. They quailed before it to a man, and now, we understand, console themselves by the reflection that no really good Government can henceforth be carried on under the Reform Bill. Unfortunately, here, as in everything else, they are mistaken. The fact is just the reverse. So far from no good Government being able to be ad ministered, no bad one can, under the new system ; in proof of which we refer to the Tories late inability to form a Ministry among themselves. The official papers relating to the case of poor BOYD, moved for by Mr. O'DWYER,. have been laid on the table of the House of Commons. They are too long, and not sufficiently interesting for publica tion at length ; but, from a careful perusal of them, we must exonerate the servants of the British Govern g ment, at home and abroad, from all blame in that me lancholy transaction. What the law of nations per mitted to be done, to save the life of an ill-fated British subject, was promptly executed, both by Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. MARKS, the Consul at Ma laga, but with what success is known to the country. However, there is no disguising the fact that Mr. BOYD had entered into a deep conspiracy to overturn the Spanish Government—that he was in daily com munication with outlaws—and that he supplied money out of his own private purse, to carry the designs of traitors into execution. He had likewise taken up arms against the King of SPAIN, and had, in short, embarked his every energy in support of the cause for which he forfeited his life. But although the country must be satisfied, from the documents now produced, that neither Lord PALMER STON nor our consuls in Spain were wanting in their duty ; nothing has come to light to abate the feeling of execration with which all men view the infernal artifice of the blood-thirsty wretch INIORENO. His atrocity receives a darker hue from every fresh disclosure ; and it is our sincerest wish that the execration of all the good may drive him " to and fro in the earth," an out cast and a vagabond from all society. As to renewing the enquiry, by again bringing it under the notice of the Court of Spain, we do not see -kny good that could be effected by it, and, therefore, our opinion is that the wisest and best course would be to drop the subject altogether. The Spanish Minister, when signing the order for the execution of ToRRIJOS and his followers, knew nothing whatever of there being an Englishman among them ; and as soon as MORENO'S treachery was complained of by the British Consul, no time was lost in dismissing him from the government of Grenada, and exiling him from the Court, which in point of fact, was a punishment more severe than the consti tutional law of Spain would have sanctioned for such a crime ; and perhaps, too, more than England would have inflicted, were the case reversed. But whatever conflicting opinions there may be on this point, every person who reflects for a moment on the prompt at tention given to this affair from its very commence ment by Lord PALMERSTON, and the Spirit of honest sincerity evinced by the Spanish Ministry, must he convinced of the folly of pursuing the in quiry any farther. Great praise is due to our Am bassador at the Court of Spain, our Consul at Malaga, and other servants of the Crown, who hu manely interfered to save the life of BOY D, without waiting for instructions from the Foreign-office. There is no doubt that had Lord PALMERSTON'S note to the Spanish Minister reached Madrid before the exe cution of BOYD, that the life of the unhappy man would have been saved ; and, therefore, his execution was not the act of FERDIN AND, but of the murdering wretch MoRENO. For the better understanding of the particu lars of this extraordinary case, we subjoin a let ter addressed by Mr. ADDINGTON, who is now in London, to Lord PA LAIERSTON, in which the most important particulars are minutely detailed. His Lordship, we are happy to see, conducted the inquiry with a prudence, promptness, and zeal, which must ensure for him the respect of every British subject. As we may not again return to this subject, we may as well observe, that this letter is extracted from the Parliamentary document before alluded to, and is in itself an epitome of the entire correspondence so far as the memory of BOYD is concerned : Henry Unwin Addington, Esq., to Viscount Palmerston. London, July 2, 1834. My Lord,--On my return to town yesterday, I received through Mr. Boathouse, the expression of your Lordship's wishes that I would state to you, in an official form, the par ticulars of whatever communications I might have held with the Spanish Government relative to the execution of Mr. Boyd, subsequently to the 2d September, 1832, the date of m y last dispatch to your Lordship on that subject. I hasten to comply with your Lordship's desire. Your Lordship will recollect, that within one month from the above-mentioned date, the Ministry, under which the en trapment and execution of General Torrijos and his adherents had taken place, was dismissed by the King, and the principal Minister disgraced and exiled. You may also recollect, that no sooner were other Ministers of opposite principles appointed in the place of those deposed, than General Moreno was de graded from the post of Captain -general of Grenada, which had been conferred on him as the reward of his treachery to wards Torrijos, and sent to Seville en cuartel, which means, exile from the Court. Under these circumstances, it appeared to me not only that there was no real utility in further pressing for the explana tions respecting the execution of Mr. Boyd, which your Lord ship had directed me to desire from the Spanish government, but that, under the altered aspect and improved principles of the Spanish cabinet, it would be impolitic to revert to a trans action of which the responsibility lay entirely with the preced ing ministry, the Count de la Alcudia excepted. In addition to this consideration, that of the appointment of the Queen to the Vicegerency of affairs, during the physical incapacity of the King to support the fatigues of government, weighed much with me in confirming me in the above line of policy. This intermediate state of affairs lasted some months. :When the King resumed the sole direction of affairs, and reintroduced, in part, the old despotic system of government, the time was already passed for demanding afresh the expla -nation desired by your Lordship under other circumstances ; and it appeared to me to be contrary to every principle of sound practical policy to revive a discussion which could only have tended to mutual embitterment, without the chance of producing any result which could be satisfactory to us. For the King could hardly in justice have inflicted on General Moreno any further punishment than the degradation which he had already undergone. And we, on' the other hand, could scarcely demand from the Spanish government any other satis faction than the punishment of that individual for the inhuma nity of his treatment to Mr. Boyd. For although the mode of his entrapment of Torrijos and his followers was odious, and such as to excite the horror of every honourable mind, yet surely the legality of the stratagem ' qua' the individual who executed, or the Government which authorised and approved it, Cannot be . questioned, and as little that of the execution of Mr. Boyd, since that misguided young man was undoubtedly taken in an act of armed hostility against the King ; and, in truth, he might, according to the strict terms of a royal decree published not long before, have been executed on the spot, without any reference being made to the Government at Madrid. Such, my Lord, were the general grounds which induced me to abstain from further pressing the point in question on the Spanish Government, in its altered position, without fur ther instructions from home • and in truth, I f e lt s o p er f ect l y assured that his Majesty's Government would themselves view the matter in this light, that I deemed it unnecessary to bring the subject further under your Lordship's consideration, with a view to provoking such instructions. Nevertheless, I thought it not right to let the matter drop entirely, but to keep it just sufficiently alive to admit of his Majesty's Government reviving it, in case they should think fit to do so. With this object, I called the attention of M. de Zea, in a general manner, to this case, amongst many other unsettled claims, of which I presented a list to him shortly after his assumption of the seals of the Foreign Department, in December, 1832. I again recalled the case, in the same general manner, to that Minister's recollection, in April, 1833, on which occa sion he informed me that he had not been able to find in his office the papers which the Count de l'Acudia had assured me he had caused to be drawn up relative to this transaction. I think it due, however, to that Honourable Noblemen to assert my, conviction that these papers did exist at the period of his dismissal from office ; for in the whole course of my varied and difficult relations with him, I never knew him fail in his word, and believe him to be incapable of doing so. I again, on the 12th of September, a few days prior to my final departure from Spain, submitted the case of Mr. Boyd, in a general list of unsettled claims, to M. de Zea's attention, but not with any intention to provoke further discussion on it, unless it should please his Majesty's Government tore-open it at any future time. (Signed) H. U. ADDINGTON. I have, &c. earvrin theya,sn patriarchs. t live The opening of a direct communi ca ti on to I n di a b y s t ea m -navigation, as recommended i n th e R eso l ut i ons of a Committee of the House of Commons, whi c h a pp eare d i n The Sun of yesterday, wou ld a d m i ra b ly harmonize with the efforts which are being mad e t o f ac ili tate t h e internal trade of this country, by m eans o f R a il roads. Both projects reflect th e hi g h est cre di t on those con cernedin them, and th e i r success w ill b e one of the greatest advances ever ma d e towards effecting the civilisation , and uniting the energies o f man ki nd. They are a literal fulfil men t o f t h e L over ' s prayer, who besought the gods to annihil a t e ti me an d space ; dwindle dista nce ; an d extend the period of mortal existence b e y on d t h e age of the antedi atriarchs. Ho w l ong , f or i nstance, does the merchant now, compared with what he did forty years ago I—that is, provided the length of human life be measured by the moral and physical acts per formed in it, which is the only way in which it ought to be measured. Improvements in roads, and the sub stitution of mail-coaches for saddle, sumpter, and pack horses, have saved four-fifths of the traveller's time ; and consequently added just so many hours to his lif e ; for we need not quote the authority of " Poor i Richard," of Almanack notoriety, to prove that so much saved is so much gained. The invention of steam navigation was the next great improvement ; and followed as it has been by the construction of rail roads, there seems nothing wanting but the cultivation of these mighty conquests of science over physical evil, to make the whole earth one great family, whose several members will contribute to the mutual welfare and instruction of each other. The benefit to this country from a speedy corn munication with her territories in India will be im mense. One-fourth of the time will at least be saved, and voyages which were hitherto made in so many months, will be effected under the recommendations of the Committee in as many weeks. This will be a great encouragement to the English to go out and settle there ; and no doubt thousands of enterprising indivi duals will avail themselves of it. What chiefly impeded sailing to India was the great Monsoons, or winds blowing steadily for six months in one direction, so that ships could only make a voyage to, or from, India when these winds were favour able. This impediment will be in part over come by steam-sailing, and in part by opening a communication with India by the Red Sea and the, River Euphrates, which the Committee recommend on the authority of the East India Company, who have had five years' experience of its practicability. All that now remains is, that Parliament adopt the reso lutions of the Committee, and carry them into effect with the least possible delay. We refer to the French Papers in another column, by which it will be seen—if we may believe them— that Don CARLOS has actually arrived in Spain, and has placed himself at the head of the Carhsts.

The latest accounts from Rome announce the POPE'S determination to fulminate the thunders of the Church against the young Queen of PORTUGAL, unless DON PEDRO revoke the sentence for the suppression of the convents. His Holiness, it seems, delayed appearing in all his terrors as long as there remained a hope that the EX-EMPEROR and REGENT would come to terms through the intervention of the Court of France ; but finding delay useless, he now threatens the QUEEN and all her subjects with excommunication. We have no means of knowing whether the POPE will, in reality, be foolish enough to have recourse to this mad expedient in these liberal times ; but his doing so will be the downfall of his authority in Portugal. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of CONYNCHAM, and Lord PANMCRE sat in the House of Lords to-day to hear appeals. HOLDSWORTH V. DONEGAL. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgmant in this case, re ♦ersing the judgment in the Court below, but without costs. THE MARQUIS OF DONEGAL V. GRATTAN. Mr. KNIGHT resumed the reply in this case, at the conclu sion of which The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment for a few days. ROLLS COURT.--(THIS DAY.) Nothing of public interest took place in this Court to-day. His Honour took further directions and costs, nearly the whole of which set down before him he disposed of. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.' JUDGMENT.—ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HARRIS. His HONOUR gave judgment this morning in the case in which the information was filed by the Attorney-General at the relation of the inhabitants of Christ Church, Blackfriars, for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of the Court, whether under the will of a Mr. Marshall, and in the events that had happened, the surplus funds arising under that will could be appropriated to the increase of the salary of the rector, Mr. Mapleton, so as to relieve the inhabitants of the parish from that payment. Many years ago Mr. Marshall left certain pro perty to be invested for the purpose of founding a church, to be called Christ Church, and also for the maintenance of a minister. Christ Church, as it at present existed, was built from the funds of that 'gentleman ; the stipend left by him for the rector (401. a year) was found inadequate, and a suit was instituted many years back for the purpose of taking the opinion of the Court upon the subject, and the salary was increased to 601. This sum had also been found inadequate for the support of the rector, and an Act was passed in the 57th of George 111., on the construction of which it was ar gued, on behalf of the relations, that the surplus fund of Mr. Marshall's Charity was applicable to the pay ment of the salary of the rector, as it at present existed (400/. a-year.) On the part of the trustees of the Charity it was contended that an information was a mere ex pedient to relieve the parishes from the rate which was levied upon them for the support of the clergyman, under the 57th George 111. Upon these points the case was argued some time since, and his Honour this morning gave judgment, stating that in accordance with the opinion of Lord Hardwicke, Lord Talbot and Lord King, he would declare that the present surplus of the revenues received by the Trustees of Mr. Marshall's charity were applicable to the increase of the income of the Rector and the other Ecclesiastical provisions for the benefit of Christ Church, which were contemplated by his will, but that they were not appli cable to the relief of the parishioners from the rates imposed upon them by the act of the 57th of George 111. Such being the opinion of the Court, his Honour would refer it to the Master, to inquire what the present income of the Rector of Christ Church was, and what addition ought to be made, and whether there were any other purposes connected with the charity that required augmentation, giving liberty to the master to state special circumstances. LITHOTRIPTICK HOSPITAL.—We beg to call the attention of our readers to a letter in our advertising columns from his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex to the Baron Heurteloup, wherein his Royal Highness, after fully satisfying himself by the minutest inquiries regarding the Baron's valuable invention for curing one of the most painful afflictions to which the human frame is subject, condescends to become Patron of the Institution, by which the poor may have the benefit 'of this inestimable invention. The Baron's remedy is not by quack medicine, but is effected by a series of most ingenious instruments which supersede the ap palling operation of lithotomy. LIVERPOOL COTTON -MARKET, JULY 14.—We continue to have a steady demand for cutton. The sales to day are from 2 500 to 3,000 bags of all kinds. Maranhams, 1 lid. ; Bahias, 10-ad. ; Boweds, lid. to 91d. ; Orleans, Bd. to 9d. ; and Alabamas and Mobiles, 7d. to 9d. per lb.

NEW PRINCIPLE FOR MAKING BUTTER. --A lot of butter, consisting of GO firkins, has lately appeared in the Waterford market, made in the county of Tipperary, upon a new principle—being seasoned with saltpetre and brown sugar, in place of salt. Its quality was very prime, and such as to obtain 825., while the general run of prices for first quality was 755. to 78s. Cherries have not been so plentiful in Kent for the last fifty years. They are hawked about at Maidstone literally in cart loads, at a penny per pound. The crop of apples is also good, but pears, plums, and filberts are a failure. A provincial bank direct has absconded, leavin a considerable debt in the concern he was att ac h e d to. Seveng of the named directors of the new National Bank have dis claimed any connexion with the concern.—Cork Paper. RAISING TILE WIND IN INDIA.—His Highness the Rao Raja of Alwar has at last adopted a fixed and regu lar plan for raising a revenue from his thankless subjects. There are seven or more Dewans, of equal dignity in the presence, who take the business of state in turn. When the first has gone his rounds of the zemindars and traders, levy.. ing personal tribute on all to the utmost of their means, he is incarcerated until he yields up a fair portion of these receipts to the Raja. Meanwhile, this Minister being got into prison, the second Dewan begins to run the same career, and i s suc ceeded by th e t hi rd, when ready to relieve his predecessor in durance. The simplicity and cheapness of this system is thought a great improvement on former measures.--Delhi Gazette, Jan, 11.
