bly beg leave to report our disapprobation of this me thod, and to recommend, th,t, in all the inns of court the power of admitting or rejecting an applicant for call to the bar, should in future be vested in the benchers only, to the exclusion of the bar table. We humbly submit this, the sixth report of the com missioners, to your Majesty's royal consideration. FREDERICK POLLOCK. HENRY J. STEPHEN. THOMAS STARKIE. JOSHUA EVANS. WILLIAM WIGHTMAN. Received the 13th day of March, 1834. BROUGHAM, C. GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, APRIL 2.—We learn that General Goblet, who was on his way hither as Belgian Ambassador, will not enter on that office. At least, his stay at Gotha is not supposed to have any connection with the business of his legation, and it is therefore probable that a change will take place. CHRISTIANIA, MARCH 27.—The revenue produced by the duties of customs in the kingdom (with the ex ception of Nordland and Finmark, which, in 1832, amounted to only 736,884 sps. in silver, and 472,050 in notes), was last year 941,660 sps. in silver, and 522,776 in notes, notwithstanding the reduction of some duties ; for instance, the export duty on timber. In the budget, this revenue was estimated only at 715,000 sps. in silver, and 422,500 in notes. HEIDELBERG, APRIL I.—Letters from Alsace una nimously report that the German refugees flatter them selves with the hope, that an incursion will soon be made from that side into Germany, in which they think to take part. FRANKFORT, MARCH 27.—The greatest precautions are taken that no dangerous guests may visit us, as they did last year. Additional officers are placed at the gates to examine the travellers and their passports, if necessary, before they enter the city. A report s spread, doubtless, with bad intentions, stated that the Poles from Switzerland, and other revolutionists, were to come, and, about the 3d of April, perform the second act of the bloody drama. However, considering the loyal sentiments of the armed and unarmed citi zens of Frankfort, and the presence of the troops of the Confederation, the very idea of such a pro ject seems to be madness. Our political prisoners express, almost all of them, their regret for the actions which have caused their ruin, and unre servedly declare that they were the blind tools of a faction. The issue of the proceedings against them cannot be foreseen, and the affair becomes more and more complicated. It seems that the proceedings at Munich, respecting the events at Hambach, implicate many persons here who are still at liberty. It is even •'• affirmed that the persons who have lately emigrated from this neighbourhood to America, were partly in duced by the desire to avoid the consequences of their indiscreet conduct. • While Switzerland is urged to send away the trouble some agitators, two of our ultra-liberals have lately gone to that country, viz., M. Sauerweller, a man of letters, and a subordinate but active agent of that party. ST. PETERSBURGII, MARCH 25.—A letter from Mos cow states that the price of bread in that city, which, at the beginning of the month, had fallen considerably, to the great dissatisfaction of the landowners and spe culators, was beginning to rise again, in consequence of the sudden thaw which had broken up the roads. A great number of waggons with corn from the pro vinces of the interior had indeed arrived in the neigh bourhood of Moscow, but could not proceed because the snow in the roads was melted ; this circumstance, of course, led to a rise in the prices. The manufac tories were in a state of stagnation. BORSEN HALLE, APRIL B.—Very little business has been transacted in stocks to-day. Discount, 2 per cent. End of April.

BRUSSELS PAPE BRUSSELS; APRIL 9.—To-day, at half-past eleven, his Majesty will review all the troops now in Brussels. Yesterday passed over very calmly ; there was not even any extraordinary bustle caused by persons walk ing about as the day before ; every body was attending to his business as usual. The several regiments of the , garrison were mustered. A Belgian cabinet messenger set out yesterday af ternoon with despatches for London. The order summoning the general band of the civic guard of Brussels to assemble is revoked. The Mi nisters of Justice, War, and the Interior, have just called on the authorities belonging to the departments to give a detailed account of the events of the sth and 6th of April. On the 7th and Bth fifty-four persons were impri soned at the Petits Cannes, to which prison the ma gistrates, appointed by the Court of Appeal, proceeded yesterday to investigate the prisoners. Several of them were set at liberty yesterday afternoon. In order to secure the aid of the citizens, in case of any fresh troubles, the city is divided into three mili tary quarters, the command of the first of which is con fided to M. C. de Brouckere, Director of the Mint, of the 2d to Col. Rodenbach, Commandant of the Police, and of the 3d to General Nyhels. One hundred thousand cartridges arrived here yes terday. All the troops that came from the neighbouring towns on the 6th and 7th of April are going to be can toned in the suburbs and the vicinity of Brussels till further orders. The garrison of Brussels is going to be augmented. Twelve or fifteen members of the Senate, re siding at Brussels, with the two vice-presidents and secretaries at their head, went on Monday afternoon to the Palace, and were immediately admitted to an audience of his Majesty. We are informed that at this audience, which was of nearly an hour's duration, the conversation turned on the utility of reinstating the civic guard, by a good law, on bases nearly similar to those which exist in France. The evening before yesterday, some attempts to ex cite disorder were made at Louvain. Some individuals Went to attack a house. Stones were thrown at the windows, the shutters were broken, and the people were preparing to penetrate into the house, when the magistrates, put on their guard by the events at Brus sels, hastened to the spot, followed by the armed force, and the assailants retreated. Strong plquets of cavalry and infantry were stationed in that quarter, and patrols paraded the streets during the night. Yesterday even ing, according to the latest accounts, tranquillity seemed to be entirely restored.—Moniteur. ANTWERP, APRIL B.—Tranquillity continues to pre vail here ; some strangers who came to the gates yes terday without passports were provisionally put in pri son, by way of precaution. It is intended to set them at liberty to-day. GHENT; APRIL B.—Our city is tranquil. The Vice roy of Hanover, travelling under the name of Count tie Diepholz, passed through this city at two in the afternoon, on his way to England. The Minister of the Interior has given the following answer to the letter of the Deputies requesting the immediate convocation of the Chambers : " Brussels, April B.—Gentlemen, The complete cessation of the disorders which have afflicted the capital, and which are the subject of a judicial inquiry, and the maintenance of tranquillity in our provinces, induce my colleagues and myself to believe that the assembling of the Chambers is not necessary at this moment. I therefore do not feel myself called on to take the step which you desire ; and beg you to accept the assurance of my distinguished consideration. " C. ROGIER." The Lynx appeared again on the 10th. —Brussels Papers, April 10. The velocity of the wind varies from nothing up . to 100 'miles in an hour ; but the maximum is variously stated by different authors. According to Szneaton' a gentle breeze moves between four and five miles an hour, and has a force of about two ounces on a foot ; a brisk pleasant gale moves from ten to fifteen , miles, with a force of twelve ounces ; a high wind, with a force of five or six thirty to thirty-five mile s, pounds ; a hurricane, bearing along trees, houses, &c. has a velocity of 100 miles, and a force of forty-nin e pounds on the square foot.—Murray's Encyclopedia of Geoyr phy. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1834. From Vienna it appears that the conferences of the German Ministers have been very active since the arrival of M. ANCILLON. There are daily sittings, and it is believed that all will be decided by the end of April at the latest. It is stated from Zurich, March 31, that on the 28th M. PETIT PIERRE, Count of West dahlen, Councillor of State of Neufchatel, unex pectedly arrived at Zurich, to deliver to the directing Canton (Vorort) a note of the follow ing substance :—" That the Council of State of Neufchatel had received from his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA, full powers to, negotiate with the Confederation in order to with draw from the Confederation as a canton, and only to remain connected with it as a Prin cipality, in such relations as are well adapted to the line of neutrality of Neufchatel. The Vorort is consequently requested to invite all the can tons to give their Deputies to the next ordinary Diet the necessary instructions for prosecuting the negotiations. The application of Neufchatel is founded, like all its previous wishes for a se paration, on the proposals formerly made." Accounts from Constantinople of the 11th say that the armaments by sea and land are continued with great activity, especially for the equipment of the fleet. Some think that the Dardanelles, others that Samos, is the object of their armaments. The accounts received from Lyons by the French Papers of Thursday, and some dated yesterday, describe the movements of the work ing classes in that city as of a very restless and unsatisfactory character. The following is the substance of them : " It appears that the working classes of Lyons re newed on Wednesday their attroupernens, on" the occasion of the trial of certain of their associates for sedition, and that a collision between them and the authorities took place, in which, as the troops employed are said to have acted with vigour, much blood must have been shed. The revolters erected barricades in various directions, all of which were carried' and levelled by the soldiers. " The telegraphic despatches received by the French Government state that the revolt had not been quelled ; and that in consequence the authorities conveyed to Government their serious apprehensions for the issue of the conflict, which they had no doubt would re commence with fury on the next day (Thursday). That such renewal did take place, and to the advan tage of the insurgents, was deemed more than pro bable by the French Government, from the circum stance that, although the atmosphere was clear, no telegraphic despatch from Lyons had reached Paris ~. 1 up to two o'clock, p.m. of Thursday. A contempo rary states that much doubt existed in well=informed quarters of the asserted devotion and vigour of the troops in Lyons—nay, certain regiments are noted to us as likely to have acted in a contrary sense. It also adds that fears existed at the Tuileries that the spirit of insurrection would extend from Lyons on one side to Strasburg, and on the other to Marseilles." _ _ We give the foregoing as we found it, but do not attach very much importance to the matter at present. The late change in the Govern ment may have given rise to hopes in the minds of the disaffected in Lyons or elsewhere ; and, for aught we know, the affairs in Belgium, as well as at Lyons, may have been the effect of the machinations of those who wish for nothing less than confusion sufficient to justify the exertion of arbitrary power, in a manner which will, they think, render the Govern ment they hate and fear unpopular. There is no doubt that the extreme Radicals in this country find, if not countenance at least toler ance and connivance from those who dread the permanency of the present government, and are always aiming to make them unpopular with some large portion of the community.

The report at Rome of an intended marriage between Prince LEOPOLD, brother of the King of NAPLES, with a daughter of the French King, has filled the Papal Court with dismay. A French Princess, they say, will bring Frenchmen in her train, and Frenchmen will bring liberal and tolerant principles of govern ment into Southern Italy. How will it be pos sible to maintain, under these circumstances, the narrow and intolerant system that now pre vails ? When will States learn that to exclude the opinions that flourish among their neigh bours is impossible, without possessing the power, and resorting to the means employed by PHILIP 11. against the reformation, and that 1 success in such an enterprize can only end in the moral and physical degradation of the coun try, which is made the subject.pf so cruel an experiment ? We can assure the readers of the Chronicle that the apprehensions of those gentlemen who spoke at the Huddersfield dinner about Lord ALTHORP'S intended measure of relief from church rates, prove them to be as ill-informed on that subject as they are on many others. Church rates will be abolished, and that without touch ing the poor rate fund, which would in fact be no relief at all. As to the Marriage Bill, that will either be given up or made conformable to a civil registration, which all parties are agreed has become absolutely requisite. A little patience is all that is now wanting, and the best friends to the dissenters are those who advise them not to suspect, much less quarrel, with those who have always proved true to the cause of. freedom, civil and—religious. Yhose who adopt a contrary course may gain Momentary popularity with a certain class of Dissenters, but we have good reason to know that the most respectable men among them confide in the as surance of the government that all the real grievances will be redressed in the most effectual manner. It is not, however, necessary to this, that a triumph should be given to any one party over others equally worthy of consideration and respect. When the measure announced by Lord ALTHORP in regard to Church Rates shall have been introduced, it will then be full time to raise objections to it, if objections can be made ; but surely the bitterest enemies of the government could do no more than raise a clamour against a measure, the nature of which is yet unknown. The wisest course which the Dissenters at Halifax, Huddersfield, and elsewhere can adopt, is to give full credit to the Government for the best intentions, to accept all the service which it may be in their power to render, and to increase the power of their friends rather than to lessen it. When the Ministers have done all they can do, it will be for the dissenters to secure every thing besides that they can show to be consistent with the public advantage, in the same way that other benefits have been and must always be obtained in a state of society like tile present, viz., by convincing the majority that what they seek is really desirable, and may be conceded without danger. The wisest and most successful men have always adopted this course. Violence, agitation, and suspicion of others are wholly in consistent with that perfect confidence in the progress of truth and the establishment of all that is right which should mark every step of the course of those who aspire to exer cise permanent influence over mankind. In truth, there is not one of the real grievances of which the Dissenters complain, whichi may not be redressed with perfect ease, and with the consent of the most enlightened men of other parties, if those who desire to guide them do not manifest an impetuosity and an ardour quite uncalled for at present. It would be a much wiser and more useful task to point out the best means of accomplishing the greatest positive good for the Dissenters, with the least possible degree of injury or offence to those who still remain, either from educa tion, habit, or principle, attached to the Esta blished Church. Mr. WILKS, M.P., is to make a motion in the House of Commons on the 20th instant, relating to the law on Friendly Societies. It will be seen, by a reference to our front page, that Mr. STEVENS, of Plymouth, has published some cheap works on the subject. We under stand these pamphlets are well worth perusing- If the wasting power of the unemployed la bourers of these three kingdoms were applied to the wasting or imperfectly cultivated soil, an amount of real capital might be created fully adequate to the cultivation of those immense tracts of land which are now producing little or nothing more than noxious plants or compara tively useless shrubs, but which tracts of land are nevertheless the property of the people of England. In which quarter of the world is it that Great Britain is not the proprietor ,of vast tracts of land capable of cultivation, but now in an unproductive state? Is it Europe, Asia, Africa, America, or the Islands of the Sea ? And who will set a limit to the capability of extending it by means not fraudulent or bloody, but honest and most beneficial to those who would be glad to part with land for capital, and the power of in creasing capital for themselves ? But suppose all the surface land in our possession, and all we could acquire, were cultivated to the highest. pitch, still, in the bowels of the earth and the sea, we have .storehouses full of food, and means of increasing real wealth and positive enjoyment. Why, then, it may be aske should any one of the King's subjects be in-`want of occupa tion, of food, of capital, of knowledge, and of enjoyment ? The answer is, that the multitude do not observe, that they do not reflect ; that they are not 'united, in short, that they are not wise. They have wasted their time, their opportunities, their productive powers in war, and in the acquisition of that which can produce little lasting benefit to them selves or those who are to come after them. But men's minds are undergoing an extraordinary change, and events will compel them, to think and to act a nobler and abetter part. A free press, under the guidance of freemen, will lead to greater changes for the better in the state of mankind than all other instrumentalities toge ther. It will put an end to the butchery of the human race, and to all arbitrary and tyrannical power. It will, enable man to work out his own improvement, and to subdue, possess, and go vern the earth by means and influences worthy of himself and suited to his own nature. The present attempts of the Dissenters to have all their remaining disabilities removed — the dissatisfaction of enlightened and just men with the neglected condition and gross misma nagement of the poor—the searching inquiries which have been made, and are yet making, into the abuses of charities, and the iniquitous practices of close corporations, and even the numerous uncalled for, and therefore mis chievous combinations of the unreflecting, be cause partially enlightened workmen, to ob tain an ascendancy over their employers and their governors, which, if they could acquire it, would prove far more ruinous to themselves than to others—what do they all indicate, but dissatisfaction with our present imperfect condition, and a desire to carry improvement to the utmost practicable extent ? Both the dissatisfaction and the de sire of improvement arise from causes which it is too late to remove, but the operations of which it is not too late to control. How can the wasting energies of the unem ployed population of Great Britain be best em ployed so as to produce the greatest advantage for themselves and others ? Is it by putting those who are without land, without capital, without knowledge, in array against those who possess them all ? Is it by combinations of - laod lords against terianti;' , Or tenants against land lords? or of the agricultural interest against the trading, or both together against the manu facturing ? Or is it by setting the masters against the workmen, or the workmen against the masters ? Certainly not. It is by looking to the general interests of the whole people, and uniting all the wise and the good in a search after, and the right improvement of, all the natural and acquired advantages which be long to the community. As this should be the business of the great Council of the nation, as well as of the nobles and the Sove reign of the country, it should also be the work of the public press, and if of the press in ge neral of each and every portion of it. This then will be our work ; and we invite the co- operation of all our readers. Let each one put to himself the question we have now proposed, viz. :—How can the now wasting energies of the unemployed population of Great Britain be best employed so as to produce the greatest advantage for themselves and others ? We beg to call the attention of our readers to a letter from a correspondent on the subject of the proposed new market on the south side of the Thames, the utility of which under taking must be apparent to every well-wisher of the borough of Southwark ; and we under stand that the projectors only require a fair and impartial investigation of their case. Both Lord Althorp's Game Bill and the Beer Shop Bill were presented by the Grand Jury at the late Bury assizes, as nuisances. Mr. Robert Maxwell, who received sentence of death at the late Limerick Assizes, has received a respite. The freemen of Alnwiok, in Northumber land, are made by making them pass through a dirty pond—a ceremony which takes place annually on St. Mark's Day. Warwick assizes closed the other day, with out sentence of death being p'assed on any prisoner—a gratificaiton of rare occurrence. DEATH OF LORD BLAYNEY.—This Noble Lord, who was known so generally, and so kindly estimated, expired yesterday. A vacancy has oc curred, in consequence, in the representation of Mo naghan, on the elevation of Mr. Blayney to the Peerage.—Dublin Paper. The Nottingham Journal states that Ger man hose are now offered for sale in that town at three shillings per dozen less than its already half starving arrtisans can sell them. CHURCH AND STATE PETITION.--A petition in favour of the connection of the church with the State, is carried to the select few of the church goers of Basford, to be signed ; but the great majority of the inhabitants are decidedly against any connection of Church and State.—Nottingham Review. QUEEN'S BOOTS.—In Rutlandshire is the ancient village of Ketton. Its tenure is by knight's service, and it is a curious fact that the sheriffs of the county collect annually a rent of two shillings from the inhabitants, pro ocreis regine, which can only be translated " for the Queen's boots."— Old Magazine. On Hoiy Thursday the young Queen of Hungary performed, in the name of the Empress, the ceremony of washing the feet of twelve old men, and twelve old women. Of the old men the eldest was 101 years of age, the youngest 81 the age of the twelve together, 1,019 year. The eldest of the women was 97, the youngest 85 ; and the twelve together, 1,075 years.

General Count Lagarde, Peer of France, and formerly Ambassador at Madrid-at the period of the Cortes, has just died. SOUTH HAMS.—The late genial weather has much improved the appearance of the fields, both of corn and grass, and it is now most, cheering.—Devon Paper. The lambing season in this neighbourhood is drawing to a close. The losses amongst the flocks in the western part of Norfolk have, in several in stances, been considerable ; and, in general, the fall of lambs has not been so great as last year ; but the lambs are, for the most part, strong and healthy, and the season has been particularly favourable for rearing them.—Norfolk Chronicle; One of the most remarkable reliques of Nelson is to be seen in the Naval and Military Museum, Scotland-yard. In a glass frame are enclosed a lock of his hair cut off after his decease by Sir Thomas Hardy, and authenticated by that gallant officer's sig nature ; beneath is an original portrait in pencil taken on board ship, and a very admirable likeness, and beneath is the envelope of a letter, addressed in Nelson's own hand-writing, with the name, " Nelson and Bronti," in the usual place at the corner. It appears that the trades' union is not alto gether confined to the working classes, the coach pro prietors of Brighton having had a private meeting, at which it was resolved that their coaches should not run at a lower fare for inside places than one guinea, in stead of the twelve or fourteen shillings heretofore de manded, and that this was made known to both the London and Brighton offices to the no small annoyance of Whig, Conservative, and Radical, none of whom, however careless respecting their triple crowns, ap peared by any means anxious to part with the sovereign. The little village of West Wickham, in this county seems to have caught ,the contagion of the unions and to have determined to do less work for more wages. On Monday last about fifty labourers made a strike and,Jeft their masters to do their work, though but for it' short time, as they very promptly proceeded to a magistrate and obtained warrants for the apprehension of the ringleaders, and on Wednes day four of them, William Rowlingson, William Barker, William Mynott, and Edward Barker were committed to the Castle for three months' hard labour. This had the desired effect, and the rest of their mis guided companions are' returning to their usual em ployments.—Cambridge Chronicle. Of all the cities in Europe none is so attractive to the imagination of man as Venice—a place whose peculiar institutions, society, and form of government, have inspired some of the finest thoughts of Shakspeare, Otway, Schiller, Byron, and other great writers. What indeed can so captivate the mind as the contemplation of that gorgeous and oriental-looking city, whence its merchant princes issued laws which governed so many territories ? What is so romantic as its fairy palaces, its noiseless and curtained gondolas, its midnight serenades, and its carnival revelries ? And what so fearful as that inscrutable despotism which could, without appeal, seize on its victims and doom them either to death, secretly perpetrated, or endless and tormenting capti vity? Such characteristics as these are certain to attract the writer of fiction, and accordingly, a new and powerful novelist has chosen Venice for the exer cise of his genius, and his novel of " The Conspiracy" (a fitting name for a Venetian story) will probably rival the romances of Mrs. Radcliffe, Cooper, and Monk Lewis. After sentence of death was pronounced on Mr. Maxwell, he became so sensibly affected, that im mediate restoratives were found necessary to sustain him. On his way to the county prison, the guard by whom he was surrounded had frequently to halt that he might be refreshed with water, and the prisoner to whom he was chained had to support him by exhorta tion, as well as by personal assistance. He wept bit terly. On reaching the gaol, both parties, the Holmes and Maxwells, who prosecuted each other, were locked in the same ward in the condemned cell, at the end of which Mr. Maxwell, as is customary, was put into soli tary confinement. Both parties wept bitterly at their fate, and each—the opposite as well as his own— seemed greatly affected at the awful sentence Mr. Maxwell received. His prosecutor and opponent in the fray, Mr. Holmes, who is himself a prisoner under sentence of imprisonment, entered Mr. Maxwell's cell, but immediately rushed out, both parties being com pletely overcome, and having burst into tears on recog nising each other. They stand in the relationship of first and second cousins to each other, and all the par ties implicated are similarly allied in the tic of kin dred. Mr. Holmes is a very fine young man, most fashionably dressed. He has, since Mr. Maxwell's conviction, evinced the deepest concern for that unfor tunate gentleman. Mr. Maxwell, since his committal, has had'two attacks of apoplexy ' - and from what must naturally be the present state of his mind, the persons in whose charge he is feel the strongest apprehensions of consequences that may anticipate the fate to which he has been sentenced.—Limerick Star. SUICIDE.--A distressing act of self-destruc tion was committed on Thursday morning, at No. 3, Cecil-street, Strand, by Mr. Baskerville, jun., a tailor, who put an end to his existence by hanging him self. The deceased, whose paternal parent has at tained a fine old age, and lived in the house with him, was himself a married man, and father of four or five children, all of whom are living. An inquest was held on the body in the evening, and it appeared that he, fora few days prior to the unfortunate event, complained of a " lightness" in his head, for which he was unable to account. His family, however, did not apprehend any ill consequences from it, and thought that rest (which they recommended) would restore his health. It appeared, from the evidence of his eldest daughter, that in coming down stairs at an early hour in the morning, she looked into his bed room, to inquire of him how he was, and seeing his coat there, and that he was not himself in the room, she looked into the sitting-room on her way down, and saw him (as she supposed) standing in a stiff pos ture behind the door, the strangeness of which alarm ing her, she hastened down stairs and informed the maid servant, who, having received a rebuke from him the previous day, said she would not herself go in, but called the deceased's son, a youth of sixteen or seven teen years of age, who, on discovering the situation of his unfortunate parent, had the presence of mind instantly to cut him down, and procure medical assist ance. The vital spark had, however, fled. The de ceased had suspended himself by means of a silk hand kerchief from a nail in the wainscoat, immediately above the room door, and his feet having apparently touched the floor, led his daughter into the opinion that he was standing. The jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity. "- IP& ' 1 ti\ PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 214 \ New 5 per Cent. 3 per Cent. Red 8914% India Stock' 259% 3 per Cent.

This stood in the paper to be spoke to. Mr. Russell stated that there had been a petition of appeal from a decree made by Sir William Grant, a supplemental suit and a petition of appeal in bankruptcy from the Vice-Chancellor's decree, all; heard together by his Lordship in this matter. The appeal, in the cause involved several intricate questions, which be came almost immaterial in consequence of the Order of the Court upon the other petitions, and consequently it was considered unnecessary to dispose of them. _ The Registrar's minutes, however, of the order, h treated that petition.as if the Court had affirmed the decree below ; the object of the present applicatio!l was to have the words so treating it altered, that it might stand as it had been left by the judgment' The Solicitor-General, Mr. Agar, Mr. Bethell, an Mr. Duckworth also appeared for different parties, and a good many observations were made affecting only the immediate interests of parties concerned, but which occupied a considerable portion of the morninFci as in the outset it was predicted by his lordship be the case. Mr. MAR in the course of his observatiOns `with,ste' that if what was now asked should be complied it would occasion the whole of these heavy proceed 49 to be began afresh. The' Mr. RUSSELL said that that was the greatest - 1 he had ever heard pronounced in the Court of Chancel; The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the Court of Chancery had been so often libelled, that its feelings were not very nice now upon that point.--(Laughter• ) 1. His Lordship added, that he would cause the Registra at present to make a trifling alteration in his mina as regarded a direction with respect to the costs ; that as to the other points that had been raised, would look at the notes he had of his judgment, a'l"' consider them. won' KILPIN V.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(TAISD.V') IN THE MATTER OF THE WAKEFIELD FREE GRAM AR SCHOOL. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR on coming ifl, t° Court this morning stated that he had read ail tne affidavits in the case, (the facts of which we gave shortly yesterday,) and it appeared to him that the petitioners had rather more learning than wisdom, for he had no hesitation in saying t h a t had the ca se been ,' properly considered the petition would ne ver have been presented. His Honour was of o pinion tha t the peti t tion had been presented upon a total perversion of facts, and such being the case he had no other courseto pursue than dismiss it with costs. WILLIAMS V. ATKINSON. Mr. PENSUM applied upon motion in this case, for a reference to the Master, to appoint a proper person t° conduct the business of the White Hart, Drury in the room of the defendant and hi s w ife. Ape rs ,, °- of the name of Williams, to whom the property longed, by his will directed it should be sold,' b ut i i; the interim desired that the defendant and his should have the management of the trade. They bsd very much mismanaged the property, which at the p sent moment was not worth half what it had former been, and the present application had therefore Dc" come necessary. His HONOUR granted the application. The Court then proceeded with motions. , TI-1 MARKETS-(THIS DA ' ir '' ;traw . £ THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY•) - ,- CITY, TWELVE o' or 4 ti voove' In respect to arrivals this morning we have wilywith the exception of the French and Hamburg c and the express from Paris. gre' Thursday was clear in Paris, and no tele to too despatch had been received from Lyons up e 0 o'clock, day.
