It is, therefore, addic t a P i tY that ional he h Adrhiral Napier should throw the 'cales, Oil the g tof his own personal bravery into the spot where the Usurper's fortunes would kick the beam without that assistance, perhaps more necessary elsewhere. The Queen's army at Cartaxo remains in a state of irksome inactivity and repose. Saldanha continues in the command, and, I believe, is cured of his fretful longings for changes and extension of powers. The enemy having received reinforcements of two veteran regiments and new levies of troops, the Marshal must carefully watch him in his strong positions, and will hardly be able to undertake any extensive operations until the combined movements in the north and south begin to tell. Simultaneous risings in five different places in the north in favour of the Queen are now preparing. The parties have applied to government for assistance, which, in consecucnce thereof, despatched the George IV. steamer the night before last, with arms, money, and leaders, to Oporto and other ports on the northern coast. There is no doubt but that some, if not the whole of these intended risings will succeed, and that Don Miguel will be compelled to detach a large portion of his army at Santarem, to save the important fortress of Almeida, and other vital points, when Saldanha may seize the opportunity to pounce upon any of the marching columns, or, if he should find a chance, on the main body of the army itself. Amongst the various combinations now in progress, I ought to mention also the secret mission of Mr. Chester, Lord William Russell's Secretary, to the island of Madeira, which, of course, must have the sanction of the British Government, as the Ambas sador would hardly interfere in such a matter, without that concurrence. The inhabitants of Madeira, though divided in parties for and against the Usurper, are said to be determined to await the issue of the contest in Portugal, before they declare in favour of either belligerent, and the Governor-General Alvarez is equally determined to maintain Don Miguel's autho rity, as long as the Usurper retains an inch of ground in the kingdom of Portugal. Mr. Chester sailed, therefore, it is supposed, to negotiate proposals for an amicable arrangement. Desertion continues from the Miguelite army, though only on a moderate scale ; but the rank of the parties coming over makes up for the smallness of their numbers. A colonel, two privates, and a corporal of cavalry, having presented themselves on Thursday, at the Palace of Necessidades, coming from Salvaterra, and a Surgeon and Ensign of the 23d Regiment, from Santarem, arrived at the head-quarters at Cartaxo. The abovementioned Colonel was Lopez Matta, of the 10th Cavalry. Yesterday only two deserters came over. LISBON PAPERS. LISBON, MARCH 11.—The official part of the Chro nica re-publishes the following decree of his Imperial Majesty the Duke of Braganza : " Ist. The corps illegally organized by the name of Royalist Volunteefs, however 'formed, are extin guished. " 2d. All the regiments of militia of the kingdoms of Portugal and Algarve are disbanded from this date, and the commanders are forbidden to assemble them, even by companies, without further orders from the Government. " 3d. All the men belonging to these corps, as soon as they receive notice of these decrees, are to return to their homes, on-pain of being prosecuted and punished as rebels. " 4th. The commanders of the said dissolved and disbanded corps, whatever may be their force, who, after having notice of this decree, shall keep them selves embodied for more than twenty-four hours, shall be tried by a courtmartial as chiefs of rebels. The Minister of War shall see to the execution of this decree. " DON PEDRO,\Duke of Braganza. " AGOSTENHO JOSE FREIRE. " Palace at Oporto, July 10, 1832." MARCH 12.—We publish to-day an advertisement of the public treasury, informing the shareholders of the loan of August 9, 1833, that the payment of the inte rest of that loan for the half-year ending the 31st of January last, will commence on the 17th inst. The punctuality with which the Government, still contending with the usurpation, and with the immense difficulties created by the civil war, performs the en gagements into which it has entered, gives great credit to the administration and to the Constitutional cause. The bulletins from the Palade das Necessidades, from the 10th to the 14th of March, state that their Majesties are in good health.—Lisbon Chronica, to March 15 inclusive. GERMAN PAPERS. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, MARCH 10.—An Adjutant of Admiral Roussin passed through Belgrade a few days ago, on his way from Constantinople to Paris. He is bearer of the answer of the Porte to the notes delivered last month by the Cabinets of England and France. The Porte expresses itself more clearly, and proves that it is falsely accused of having violated previous stipulations with those powers by the treaty of the Bth of July. These stipulations were entered into chiefly for the interests of British commerce, with which the treaty of the Bth of July can scarcely be said to inter fere. It having been made for the security of the Porte, if the English nation were considered to be the most favoured by the stipulations of 1809, such an an vantage will not be in any way diminished by the alli ance with Russia. The Porte likewise maintains that its friendly reliance with Russia must not suffer preju dice. No exclusive privileges will be granted to any power, as has been sufficiently proved by the question of entry into the Dardanelles. The Turkish note says no one has a right to enter this canal without a previous permission from the Porte, and no flag can assert this right, as it is expressly granted to none. The Porte expresses surprise that the treaty with Russia should have given rise to such remonstrances, as all grounds for them have been already removed. The Porte can not see in this treaty any prejudice to one party or the other, and cannot, therefore, pretend to understand protests the object of which is to awaken suspicion, or to bear prejudice to the independence of the Ottoman empire, and to the inviolability of the Sultan's sove reign authority. _ _ VIENNA, MARCH 19.—Five per Cent.

The members of the Trades' Union having de termined to honour their departed brother Hilton with a public funeral, assembled yesterday in im mense numbers in Whitechapel-road. The follow ing was the order of the procession : The wardens of the bricklayers' lodges, with their wands; the trade committee, with white wands, sur mounted with black crape; corresponding secretary with cushion and Bible ; two treasurers ; the dis pensation ; chief treasurer ; the corpse, three pall bearers on each side ; chief mourners, in appropriate costume ; the presidents, &c., of the bricklayers' lodges, with their trade sashes, &c. ; the lodge secretary, with scrolls ; the other trades followed according to the order prescribed by the managing committee. Various reports were circulated as to the route of the procession, and place of burial ; but the line first proposed was strictly adhered to ; viz. :—From Mile-end Turnpike to Aldgate, through Leadenhall street, Bishopsgate-street, Sun-street, Finsbury square, to Bunhill-fields. An arrangement had been made for the mourners to return to Whitechapel road, but it was not acted on. The members of the Union began to move at a quarter past three o'clock, and it was exactly four when the last branch passed Whitechapel-workhouse . louse. They were gene rally from six deep, but in some instances eight or ten. The third lodge brought the corpse, which was attended by six men and the -same number of women, in deep mourning. Most of the members wore rosettes of black and white ; the leaders car rying black wands and batons. Immediately fol lowing the coffin were many persons of most re spectable appearance, wearing blue sashes. A great many females were present, and all, male and female, conducted themselves with the greatest propriety. As regards the number of persons collected toge ther on the occasion, it is impossible to speak with accuracy; but judging from the thronged state of the road, and other circumstances, it is clear that one hundred thousand were to be seen in White chapel alone. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, MARCH 27.—The Bordeaux journals re ceived to-day have only news by no means favourable to the Queen's cause. According to the Memorial, the Queen's situation daily becomes more critical. " If Don Carlos," says that journal, " were not so cowardly as he is, happily for the Queen's party ; if, instead of remaining hid in an obscure corner of Portugal, while his soldiers are fighting, he resolved to come and serve as a leader of the insurgent provinces, the Peninsula would be plunged in a civil war, the issue of which it would be impossible to foresee. But, as the Queen now has the upper hand, let her know how to profit by her elevated position—let her force her Cabinet to lay aside its sympathy—let her promptly take measures analogous to that in the Madrid Gazette of the 11th, viz., the application of part of the revenues of the church to the payment of the national debt—let her encourage the volunteer militia to join her troops, in order to clear the insurgent provinces—let her, in a word, enter sincerely into the resolution, and Spain may be saved." The letters from Bayonne of the 23d, speak of an advantage gained by General Espatero, over the parti san chief Torres, who is said to have suffered great loss, three hundred of his men having been taken pri soners, and will, it is said, be transported beyond sea. A letter from Madrid, dated at the Lloyd Francais, announces the arrival at Madrid of a certain M. Go mez, formerly an Envoy of Don Miguel's, soon after the arrival of M. Sarmento, Don Pedro's Envoy. It is hoped that M. Gomez will fail in his efforts to de- I lay the recognition of Donna Maria. Official notice has been given at Toulon, that . King Louis Philip will visit that port at the end of May, accompanied by Admiral Rigny. The Algiers, a ship of the line, now building in the dock-yard of Toulon, will be launched in the presence of the King. A letter from Oran of the sth of March says, that a pretty good understanding prevails with the neigh bouring tribes. The Arabs, as had been agreed on, were ready to give up the twenty-three prisoners whom they had taken, but only six of them consented to re turn to Oran, who have declared that their comrades had said that they would become Bedouins.—Mes sager, March 28. The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 25th instant has the following of the 23d from Bayonne :—" The last courier that left Vittoria for Madrid was detained at Madrideja, between Aranda and Burgos, by 40 horse men, commanded by the priest Merino. Six soldiers that this courier had taken as an escort were killed. On the 20th brigadier Espartero, having learned that the battalion commanded by the chief of the insurgents, Simon Torres, was at Mungea, near Bilboa, proceeded thither with a strong column surprised him, and beat him at all points. This battalion was wholly destroyed; 300 prisoners remained in Espartero's power. Some officers were among them." We learn from - Madrid, that M. W. Speeks, as the agent of Messrs. Wilson and Co., and M. Isaac Gold smidt, of London, has tendered a loan to the Minister of Finance on the following terms :—" The Govern ment shall inscribe upon the great book of the public debt a sum of 800,000,000 of rials, 3 per cents., the certificates of which, payable to bearer, shall be depo sited at London in a box, having two keys, one of which will be in the hands of the contractors, the other will remain with the Spanish Ambassador at London. " The contractors will deliver to the Ambassador 50,00b,000 rials, or 500,0001. sterling every six months, till the whole amount is advanced, receiving certifi cates for stock at the rate of 37 per cent., as each of these instalments are paid. The contractors are to retain on each instalment a commission of 3 per cent., beingi24,ooo,ooo of rials, upon the whole amount of the loan of 800,000,000 of rials ; and moreover Spain shall allow them interest at 5 per cent. on all sums which, in the course of the affair, shall remain in ar rear, on any account whatever. They also require that the dividends shall be punctually paid every half-year, at London, Paris, Antwerp, or Amsterdam, and they have also fixed the rate of exchange, which is in their favour. They conclude with expressing their hope, that the Government will not delay acknowledging the Cortes Bonds of 1822. The proposal, after being con sidered by M. Imaz, has been laid before the Council of Ministers, who has ordered it to be submitted to the Director of the Sinking Fund."—Galignani's Mes senger, March 28. PARIS, MARCH 27. Lord Durham's journey to Paris has, for several days, been the subject of poli tical conversation and conjecture. We will endea vour, by a just appreciation of the motives of this journey, to expose the precise situation of the cabi nets of London and Paris. The causes of the cool ness which, for several months, has been evident be tween the two courts, are not only commercial, but also political, and depending upon that s interested po licy which served as the basis of the grand alliance formed in July. The Russian and Turkish question is the great source of the dissatisfaction shown by the Whig cabinet against the Doctrinaire ministry. Lord Grey is aware that unless he is able, in a short time, to lay before the Parliament a favourable account on the two questions of the East and Portugal, he must resign, and then the government will pass through the hands of an Ultra-whig administration, into one of moderate Toryism, such as the English aristocracy dream of obtaining under the direction of Sir Robert Peel. Lord Durham is charged to give, at Paris, a full explanation of this state of things, and to show the consequences of a change in the British mini stry to the revolution of July, and the national go vernment which has sprung from it. If, though we con sider this as impossible, a Tory ministry should be esta blished in England,we should see those close bonds again formed which united the four Powers who signed the acts at Vienna, in 1814 and 1815, against the liberal principles laid down in the face of the world by our popuiar revolution. If we add to this motive, that the people of England, owing to the maintenance of our commercial system, with its exaggerated prohi bitions, are beginning to be indifferent towards an alliance with us, the political consequences of a change in the English Administration, under existing circum stances, may be justly appreciated. Lord Durham is also particularly charged to explain to our statesmen the designs of Russia. The English diplomatists are well informed ; their secret agents, disseminated in every direction, enable them to divine the intimate thoughts and concealed motives which give rise to the proceedings of every Cabinet. It is added also, that Lord Durham is to communicate to our court certain documents, which will prove the bad faith of Russia on three important points—Belgium, Turkey, and the French revolution itself. It is asserted that these communications will show that the hostile attitude of Holland, and these agitations which continue to dis turb Belgium, are to be attributed to the Czar, and lead to an inference that while Count Pozzo di Borgo is occupied in making declarations at Paris of the good intentions of the Emperor Nicholas, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is insinuating that a military movement against Belgium will be favourably seconded by Prussia, and supported by the moral influ ence of Russia. As to Turkey, Lord Dur ham is to communicate certain secret stipu lations, which put Russia in full possession of the whole of the moral and physical forces of the Ottoman em pire ; for example, the armament of the Dardanelles, the assembly of troops in the southern provinces of Russia, and particularly those stipulations for com mercial privileges and pecuniary indemnification which brings Turkey down to the same condition of vassalage as Persia is in. As to the remaining point—the revo lution of July—Lord Durham is said to be the bearer of documents of the most curious nature, showing the ill-will of the Czar towards the Government it has pro duced. They are not merely expressions of contempt, which France throws back upon the despot of the North with compound interest, but concerted and fixed projects and stipulations, by which the Government of July is to be considered as temporary, and to be to lerated only till a better can be obtained. If all these points of information be correct, they give us hope that our Cabinet may be enlightened as to the value it ought to put upon the alliance with Russia, and the protesta tions of Count Pozzo di Borgo. Many reflections should be made before that grand and noble alliance which unites the destinies of two great nations is broken. Let us remember the maxim laid down in 1830.—" As long as France and England continue united the peace and liberty of the world are secure." —Constitutionnel, March 28. FRENCH FUNDS.—Paars MARCH 58.

THE ARMY. The Ist Dragoon Guards have received orders to march from Brighton on the 15th of April. The Scots Greys now stationed here are under or ders to march to Edinburgh about the end of this month : it is 'expected they will be relieved by the Enniskillen Dragoons from Edinburgh. The Artil lery stationed here for the last six months have been detached to Tynemouth and Carlisle, and replaced by a troop of the Royal Horse Artillery from Woolwich. The company of the 19th Regiment of Foot, on duty at Tynemouth Castle, will join the depot here, and will be relieved at Tynemouth by one company of the Bth Regiment from Sunderland. The depot of the 19th Regiment expect to march about the middle of April for Carlisle. A reduction will shortly take place in the Foot Regiments, to the extent of about ten men from each company.—Newcastle Paper. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 29.—The Conway, 28 guns, Captain Eden, was appointed to sail from Rio Janeiro to the Pacific, on the Ist of February, and to visit the society and other South Sea Islands, in which places it was found that the presence of a ship of war was frequently much wanted. The wind having changed from ten days' easterly to fresh breezes from the westward, the following ships may be daily expected to arrive here, having served out their three years' state of commission : Barham, 50, Vice-Admiral Sir P. Malcolm, Capt. Hugh Pigott ; St. Vincent, 120, Sir F. Senhouse ; and Raleigh, 18, Commander Hawkings, from the Mediterranean ; Wolf, 18, Commander Hamley, from the East Indies ; Talbot, 28, Captain R. Dickenson, C. 8., from the Cape ; Curlew, 10, Commander Trotter, from the west coast of Africa ; Ariadne i 28, Captain Phillips, and Sapphire, 28, Hon. Captain Trefusis, from the West Indies. The'Blonde, 46, Commodore F. Mason, C. 8., (with the Marquis of Sligo and family on board, for Jamaica) touched at Madeira on the 7th inst. The Talbot, 28, was lying in Simon's Bay (with the flag of Admiral Warren) on January 8. The Upton Castle, Captain Duggan, for Bombay (with Sir J. Keane on board), after being detained thirteen weeks at this port and seventeen days at sea, arrived at Madeira on the 3d, and sailed again on the sth instant on her voyage. The Sesostris had also arrived and sailed from Madeira for the Cape. On Tuesday the Viper schooner, Lieut. James, sailed for Sheerness, to be paid off. In Harbour—Victory, Royal George, Excellent, Revenge, President, North Star, Tyne, Rainbow, Espoir, and Sparrow. The President was undocked on Tuesday, and the Revenge the following day. The North Star, 28, was this morning commis sioned at this port (it is supposed for the South American station), by Captain 0. Vernon Harcourt. Lieut. C. G. E. Napier and W. Maude are ap pointed to her. _ The Surrey arrived on Tuesday, to embark con victs for New South Wales. She will call at Ply mouth. The brig Jessey, Keates, master, of Poole, which sailed some time since for Newfoundland, has put into Cork, with the loss of the master and one of the crew, who had both been washed overboard. SUPPOSED CREW OF THE DIAMOND.—This trader sailed from Jersey, for this port, about three weeks since. On Wednesday, the 19th inst., an open boat was discovered by the preventive-station men, having been driven on shore the preceding night near Berry Head, wherein were four men, two of whom were dead, and the other two in such a state of exhaustion that they were immediately re moved to Brixham workhouse, where they soon ex pired. From the appearance of the men (French men), and the boat, suspicion of the fate of the vessel became excited, as no accounts have arrived concerning hen—Plymouth Journal. Major-General Sir Colin Campbell, K.C.8.,' Governor and Commander-in-Chief in Nova Sco tia, with Lady Campbell and family, will take their passage to Halifax in the President, 52 guns, Cap tain M'Kerlie, when ready to proceed to that station. On Monday a courtmartial was held on board his Majesty's ship Victory, for the trial of Mr. Wil liam Thurley, gunner of his Majesty's schooner Viper, on the following charges preferred against him by Lieutenant Horatio James, commanding the Viper, viz. :—" For having on the evening of the 4th of December last attempted to go on shore at Oporto without leave, and on finding himself detected by Mr. Cooke, master's assistant, who had the charge of the watch, he came out of the boat and struck him (Mr. Cooke) repeatedly ; and also for being at the time very much intoxicated." After hearing the evidence, the court was of opinion that the charges against Mr. Thurley had been proved in part, and have adjudged him to be dismissed from his Majesty's service.

We regret to say that a builder of this town has decamped, after forging the acceptances of,a great number of respectable persons resident at Brighton. He has left a wife and family entirely destitute of sup port.—Brighton Gazette. The spirit of modern discovery has left few parts of the globe unexplored. Our gallant officers, now that the trade of war no longer claims their ser vices, appear determined to pursue an active career, and to vie with one another in penetrating into remote regions, seldom if ever traversed before, in order to lay before their countrymen that information which they could not otherwise acquire. No danger or difficulty seems too formidable for them to encounter. In all climes, the perseirering, Englishman may, in fact, be found steadily intent upon his purpose, and undismayed by the formidable impediments that so often arise to counteract his efforts. We have been led to these remarks by the announcement of the narrative of the celebrated Eastern traveller, Lieutenant Conolly. This gentleman determined to attempt a journey overland from Russia through Persia to the Indus, being anxious to extend our very imperfect knowledge of the interesting and little-traversed countries of the Took muns and Affghauns. To cross the Caspian desert, in fested, as it was known to be, by so many wild and predatory hordes, was, of itself, a bold attempt. No tidings for a considerable period being heard of him, great apprehensions were entertained as to his fate. We rejoice, however, to find that he accomplished his perilous undertaking, and that the account of his ad ventures will shortly be published by Mr. Colburn's enterprising successor, Mr. Bentley, who has already shown great taste and judgment in contributing to the stores of public amusement., COURT CIRCULAR.

On Friday their Majesties attended divine service in their own apartments. The Bishop of Worcester ad ministered the sacrament to them, and to-day to the Household, after service in the Castle. Their Majesties drove out yesterday, the King in a pony phaeton, and the Queen in an open carriage, in the Great Park and Forest drives.

The Earl of Munster and family arrived here on Thursday afternoon, having engaged Albion-house for several weeks. The General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, the Attwood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house, last night (Sunday): . . MARCH OF FASHION.—The principal waiter at a fashionable club-house has been seen at play at a celebrated gambling-house in St. James's street, and with the most daring effrontery assumed the airs of a man of fortune ! He, however, saw he was recognised on Saturday night and immediately with drew ! Kensington Gardens are at present in a very bad condition, and the walks have been much injured by the removal and carrying of the great number of trees lately cut down off the ground. The chasms left after extracting the roots .are nearly filled up, but it will take some weeks to put the walks in proper order, and probably it will be the middle of June before those who are admitted into the gardens can enjoy with sa tisfaction this rural and pleasant retreat. Altogether 5,000 trees have been cut down, many of which were in a state of decay, and their removal has added consi derably to the healthiness of the gardens. RUINED GAMESTER.—(FROM A COR RESPONDENT. )—At the corner of a well-known court, not far from St. James's Palace, may be frequently seen standing, attired in the lowest garb of poverty, a wretched-looking little man, who asserts that he has been pillaged of upwards of 80,0001. in the various dens of infamy with which the neighbourhood abounds ; and that he comes there in the generally hopeless ex pectation of subsisting upon the casual bounty of those by whom he has been thus pillaged. A few days since he assured the writer of this that he had not tasted food for two days, an assertion which his haggard ap pearance seemed to confirm. POLICE EXPENSE.—An elaborate account has been printed, by order of the House of Commons, of the expense of the Metropolitan Police, by which it appears that the sum receivable in the year 1832, was, from parishes, 250,384/. ; from the Treasury, 25,707/. ; total, 276,091/. ; and the sum actually re ceived was, from the parishes, 228,284/. ; from the Treasury, nothing ; from voluntary and other sources, 1,895/. ; total, 235,180/. ; leaving, however, at the end of the year, a sum of 22,099/. due from the pa rishes, and 25,7071: from the Treasury. The expen diture of 1832 was 223,1601. The late Alexander Adair, Esq., must have died immensely rich, as it is understood that he has left his nephew, Sir Frederick Roe, Chief Magistrate of Bow-street Office, 200,0001., being precisely the a sum which he has bequeathed to Sir Robert Baring, and also to Alexander Baring, Esq., making in the whole 600,0001., and this is exclusive of the legacies which he has bequeathed to other individuals. The late Sir Francis Baring, who also possessed much wealth, had been intimate for a series of years with Mr. Adair : the latter, sixty years ago, was considered a man of opulence, and during the greater part of that period had been constantly adding to his fortune ; but he was hospitable, and liberal in his expenditure. It is generally reported that the two clee brated Correggios in the collection of Lord London derry have been purchased at the price of 11,0001. or 12,0001. for the National Gallery. The history of these pictures is somewhat curious. There is good reason to believe that they were originally in the col lection of Charles 1., and sold by the republic to an agent of the King of Spain. During the invasion of that country, Murat, by purchase, we conclude, pos sessed himself of them, and they were subsequently removed to Naples. On his death they were claimed by his widow of the Congress at Vienna as private property, and the claim was allowed. Lord London derry, then ambassador, purchased them of the ex queen, and here they are, after journeying about for nearly two centuries, in the National Gallery of Eng land.—Athenceum. It is not one of the least interesting features in M. de Trueba's new historical romance, " Salvador, the Guerrilla,"that the author has brought into juxta position the French and Spanish characters, who figuered so prominently in the celebrated Peninsular war. The' story of " The Guerrilla" abounds in inci dents of romantic daring and individual adventure of an extraordinary kind. Nothing, probably, has yet been written capable of giving so true, so picturesque, and vivid an idea, of the eventful scenes enacted in Spain during the French invasion, as the present no vel of the celebrated Anglo- Spanish writer. " Why did y ou qu it your last place ?,, said a gentleman to a voting man, who presented himself for the vacant situation of groom ; " Did he discharge you ?"—" No," " Was he a bad master ?"—" QuitQ the contrary." " Then why did you quit his service?" —" Why, to say the truth, I found it very disagree able in winter time at Melton. My master did not belong to the right club, or live in the fi rs t se t ; an d then he was so dull in the tilbury, I could staled it a t ny longer," HOUSE The Lords mei ten, pursuant to w cases of Appeal. Lord Chancellor, count Melbourne, _ ....isnop m ........ .ord. The first case which came before their Lordships was that of TAIT V. BALLANDENE. Dr. LUSHINGTON stated the case for the appel lant. The Duke of Argyll held possession, in 1748, of the lands of West Pitgobar, in the parish of Menhart, and county of Perth. In that year these lands were let in perpetual fee to John Bal !endene and his heirs and successors, under reser vations which were expressed in the following terms : —" Reserving always to his Grace, and his heirs and successors the coal and coal haughs, in the said lands, with the liberty of digging coal and coal haughs in any part of the said lands ; but if his Grace, and his aforesaids, should make a new level which had not been formerly made, then, and in that case, they should be obliged to pay to the said John Ballandene, and his before written, the lamages which he, or they, should sustain thereby." The appellant had used the level agree ably to the construction to be put on this charter. That level throws off water on the lands belonging to the respondent, who also holds those lands of the Argyll family. The tespondent maintained that the appellant had no right to use the level which runs through his (the respondent's) lands in carrying off the water which arose from the working of the coal-pits. The point for his lordship to decide was, whether or not appellant had this right. In pronouncing the word Pitgobar, which fre quently occurred in the Learned Doctor's pleadings, The LORD CHANCELLOR Said, the word is " Pit gober," not " Pitgobar ;" for you see, Dr. Lushing ton (said his Lordship), the Scotch know how to pronounce, and they don't call " er" " ar," more than you call " butter" " buttar."—(Laughter.) Dr. LUSHINGTON—My Lord I have been of late thrown on my beam-ends with regard to pronuncia tion ; for I heard the other day a high authority in the House of Commons call " anecdote" " annec dote," so that I may be excused if I ain at a loss as to the pronunciation of Pitgober. The LOAD CHANCELLOR—Yes, but that high authority was not a Scotchman. Dr. LUSHINGTON—NO, my Lord, he was an Irishman.—(Laughter.) The LORD CHANCELLOR—That makes all the difference. The Learned Doctor having concluded his speech, the Lord Chancellor called on the Attorney-Gene ral to proceed with his arguments for the respondent. The LORD ADVOCATE, who was also Counsel for the respondent, said that before proceeding to argue the merits of the case, he begged to submit to his Lordship's decision a point respecting the order of precedence between himself and his learned friend the Attorney-General. That point was, whether he (the Lord Advocate of Scotland) or his Learned friend (the Attorney-General for England) was enti tled to precedence at that bar. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—With respect to myself personally, the matter "is one of indifference. I would be most happy, both on the ground of na tionality and the respect I entertain for my learned friend's talents, to give him the precedence ; but holding the high office I have the honour to fill, I cannot sacrifice any of its dignities. It has always been supposed that the King's Attorney-General was entitled to the precedence. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The question of pre cedence was argued when I practised at the bar about twenty years ago, when it was settled, I be lieve, by general consent of the Courts of Law, that the King's Advocate should lead the Attorney- General, and, indeed, the whole bar. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—After that decision, my Lord, the question was mooted, whether or not the King's Attorney-General was or was not entitled to lead the King's most ancient Sergeant. The LORD CANCELLOR—Yes ; I remember the circumstance. In order to settle the question the matter was referred to the Crown, who decided, by warrant, that the Attorney-General should lead the King's most ancient Sergeant, which, I believe, he has done ever since. Dr. LUSHINGTON—No, my Lord, that was never the case ; the King's Advocate has always taken the precedence of the Attorney and Solicitor- Generals. The LORD CHANCELLOR--I remember a cele brated case in this house which lasted some weeks, in which the Attorney-General led the King's Advocate. Dr. LUSHINGTON—Then that must have been matter of accommodation, and could only have been done under protest. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Does not the King's Ancient Sergeant, then, take precedence of the Attorney-General ? Dr. fIUSHINGTON—Never. The Attorney-Ge neral always yields to him even in the Admiralty Courts. The LORD ADVOCATE—My Lords, this question has taken me by surprise. I am not prepared to go into the argument just at present, but I claim precedence for the Lord Advocate of Scotland. The LORD CHANCELLOR—There can be no doubt the Lord Advocate takes precedence of the Solicitor-General ; the only doubt is as to the At torney-General. I think the best way would be to arrange it between yourselves who should take the lead in the meantime, each 'protesting against the right of the other to precedence. The LORD ADVOCATE—The Solicitor-General is an officer of recent creation. The question is one of very great importance, and, as I have just said, 1 am not prepared to argue it now. But I hold that the Lord Advocate is the highest law officer in the country. No one is on a level with him. His su periority to all others is acknowledged in the King's Commission, and in all Courts of Review. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I think, as I have just said, that as the question is involved in do'•' o t the better course would be to arrange ILetween yourselves as to who should take precedence for the present, only taking care that each protest against the right of the other to take the lead. His Lordship's advice was agreed to. The At torney-General gave way to the Lord Advocate, who shortly addressed their lordships on behalf of the respondent. _ The Attorney-General did not speak on the merits of the case. His LORDSHIP gave judgment. The decision of the Court of Session was affirmed, but without costs. It appears by a Parliamentary return that, during the last year, 920 soldiers were committed to the different gaols in England, by sentences of Courts martial, for various periods of imprisonment, instead of subjecting them to flogging, as formerly : that 3G were sent to Canterbury, from the Dover garrison ; 147 to Maidstone, which would take in the Chatham and Woolwich garrisons; 145 to Brixton, principally from the London garrison ; 149 to Gosport and Ports mouth, from the garrisons of these towns, and only five to Exeter, which should receive those from Ply mouth garrison. There must be a reason for the last named that is not obvious. DEATH OF SAMUEL ALGER, TIIE WELL KNOWN PROPRIETOR OF THE CROWN AND ANCHOR FAIR 13.00m—This much respected and well-known gentleman expired at his residence, Redman's-row, Limehouse, on Sunday, the 23d instant, after expe riencing three days' severe illness. He died in the 57th year of his ago from an attack of paralysis, which not only deprived him of the use of his limbs, but also of his eysight and senses. His remains were interred In a splendid manner on Saturday afternoon last, in a private family vault beneath Limehouse church. The deceased, who died worth landed and other property amounting to upwards of 20,000/., has left a widow, two, daughters, and a son. The latter will come in for the whole of his business, and will be the proprie tor of the Crown and Anchor Tavern at the present Greenwich fair.
