system, we have at least this advamage...that the )t-esent state of things is acceptable to no one. It is, in fact, a confessed anomaly, at once weal: and unpopular, and has come to such a pitch ol actual dissolution, that it has been made a clues tion what the government of the Church oi England is." He goes on to show that, in• stead of there being too much inequality in the Church, there is not inequality enough for it• good government or efficiency,—that the Scotch Church does not reach the level of the aristo• cracv,—that the English Church " fails ill reaching down to the poor ;" and that, there fore, the scale of ascent and descent should be altered so as to suit all classes of so ciety. To remedy the evils complained of. and to give greater efficiency to the esta blishment, Dr. Arnold proposes to admit the laity to a greater share in Church govern ment, to allow them to be elected as part of the council of the dioceses, and of the parish eccle siastical organization. He likewise proposes that the Bishops shall be multiplied, so as that every large town shall have its Bishop, who can be maintained out of the present deaneries,—tha the present dioceses shall be considered as pro vinces, having provincial councils to assist their prelates, and, if it should be thought desirable to diminish the number of the Bishops in the House of Lords, that those retained might cor respond to the number of provinces, so that " metropolitan Bishops alone would have seats in Parliament." With regard to the appoint. ment of parish clergymen, all patronage, except what is merely recommenda►ory, should cease ; and as to livings, the present ecclesiastical reve nues of the establishment not being sufficient for all its newly-admitted members, he proposes that the latter shall be supported as at present " As the Dissenting ministers," says be, " are actually maint.ined by voluntary contributions, so the assistant ministers of a more comprehensive system, whether their opinions were in exact agreement with the present article , or not, would be easily, and I believe most cheerfu ly, lanintained by Easter offerings, levied upon all the mem bers of the Church, and divided according to the quali fications and labours of the respective ministers ; and as they would all be equally ministers of the national Church they would have their share in the election of the clerical nsenibers of the Bishop's council, and would be effectual!) secured against any spirit of sectarian hostility which might be supposed to survive the overthrow of the present sectarian system." It would be superfluous to enter into the changes which the Rev. Doctor is willing tt. admit into the ritual of the Church, the manner in which he disposes of the question of the Li turgy, and several other details of his plan. The whole pamphlet deserves to be perused for the good sense of many of its remarks, and for the 'liberal and charitable spirit which breathes through the whole, but we have great doubts whether it will at present gain a single influential proselyte or inspire a single legislative Church Reformer.— Times. The Globe has noticed the strictures we passed on its articles on the ballot. Our contemporar) assumed that the ballot would be destructive of the influence of the rich. We contended that at would not. Our contemporary, instead of meeting the question broadly, meets us some thing in the-way of a special pleader, by direct ing all his argument to one point. He says that we referred him in proof of our assertion— " To an observation in the Westminster Review, in which it was observed, that ' when the rich were depen dent on the opinion of their inferiors, they wouid be fur nished with a strong motive for enabling them to form an enlightened opinion.' The application of this remark to the question, whether or no ballot should now be intro duc , d, is much of a piece with the assumptions on which many of the schemes for further changes in the Cenatitu tion proceed. It is assumed that to give men a motive, or assumed motive, to do something, is equivalent to the actual accomplishment of the event wished for ; and that, baring made this provision for realizing a benefit at some future time, we are ca'led on to act as if this castle in the air were already guilt and inhabitable on the firm ground. " The Westminster Review would allow, that to en• able men to form enligbn ned opinions on any political quertions is a work of time—and to give a man a right n vote in the elections of 1833 on the credit of the illurui nation which is to be shed on them or their descendants in 1883, might be attended with very inconvenient conse quences. A whole nation cannot be educated in a day or a year—strive the rich as they may ; but in one year or one month irreparable mischief may be done by making a law foe this generation which may be very well suited to the next. " The rich have now powerful motives to instruct ti poor. and the work of inettuction is going on simultane ou-ly with political ameliorations. The mat, of the peo ple are obtaining and have obtained power in proportion to their intell ctual improvement." In all this, our contemporary, who is admi rable at begging the question, takes it for granted. that at present the rich are all in the right, and the dependents on them in the wrong, when the\ have a different opinion ; and that intimidation has biassed those to vote properly, who, if left to themselves, would have voted otherwise. The general impression is very different. That impression is, that those against whom intimida tion was resorted to, were inclined to take the wiser and more enlightened course, and that the rich were for the most part in the wrong. Had, for instance, the landholders had their way in the late election, what has taken place at the election of Scoth Peers would have been almost universal—the county elections would have been almost everywhere Tory. The gentry in gene ral at present are Tory, i. e., hostile to good go vernment and to the improvement of the people; and the hopes of their becoming otherwise rest on their finding their power dependent on the hold they have of public opinion. The joke that "to give men a right to vote in the elec tions of 1833 on the credit of the illumination which is to be shed on them or their descendants in 1883, might be attended with very inconve nient consequences,"_is altogether out of place. We had observed, " that we believed there was hardly an instance of a man in affluent cir cumstances acting in such a way as to merit the good opinion of his neighbours, who does not suc ceed in gaining their good opinion." If rich men do not act in such a way as to deserve the good opinion of their neighbours, they ought not to be allowed to call in intimidation to their aid. That power of intimidation diminishes the mo tive of the rich man to endeavour to gain the good opinion of his neighbours by deserving it, and in so far it is an obstacle to the growth of the only fair and legitimte influence which the rich ought to possess. It is notorious that the misgovernment of this country for a great length of tune, and in particular the facilities which bo roughmongering gave to the stripping of the many for the sake of the few, has led to a most unequal distribution of property, and to the un due subjection of property in the aggregate to individual possessors of property. The intimi dation has been resorted to, not in defence i.t property, but to enable individual proprietors to strive to perpetuate the system of rendering property, in the aggregate, tributary to them. The influence favourable to such an endeavour,• is the only influence which has occasion to dread the ballot. Why, w i thout a power to resort to in timidation to secure such an influence, we shoulu he introducing " a democracy very clumsily con !titute(l," we are at a loss to discover. Our contemporary libels the Ministers, and libels the ' teople of England, when he says that the nu nerical majority of the electoral bodies are fa :ourable to a clumsily constituted democracy. In those places where intimidation could not be resorted to without effect, and where the numerical majority prevailed, we have seen few men re :urned not favourable to the Constitution. On 'he contrary, the influence resting for support on :ntimidation, for which he contends, was every where exerted to procure the return of met, hostile to Reform, and who, if they had their vay, would drive the people to Revolution. B\ whom, we repeat, have the Whigs been sup ported throughout ? Is it not notorious that hey have been enabled to carry Reform, and to )btain a majority in the present Parliament, no. ny the rich, but by the middle classes, and more particularly by the Dissenters? If the rich are ;n the right and the middle classes in the wrong, .hen Ministers are enemies to the Constitution. and every good man ought to abhor them. The doctrine of our contemporary, by making the numerical majority of electors in the wrong and the rich in the right, is a manifesto against Mi nisters, a manifesto against the Reform Bill, and Reformers. Ministers have abandoned the en lightened men, and betaken themselves to the gnorant numerical majority, the haters of the Constitution, the lovers of a clumsily constituted democracy. They are, in that case, traitors to the Crown and traitors to the Constitution. Our contemporary says— " The Chronicle asks us, ' Why should it be presumed hat the more humble voters are less biassed in favour of ha Constitution than the rich ?' Only because we know it to be the fact ; and it is very hard upon us, when wt .re called on to presume that men are enlightened now, because they may perhaps he enlightened many years pence, that we are nut to presume the existence of feeline , which no man can fail to observe are actual and present." Our contemporary must mean, by bias in favour of the Constitution, a bias for patronage and extravagant expenditure ; for, with respect to the bias in favour of a legitimate constitutional policy, the last elections show that the numerical majority were enlightened, at least right, while the rich were in the wrong. We contend, then. that the power to intimidate, by supplying the rich with a substitute for desert, has a tendency to confirm them in the delusion that they can dispense with the good opinion of their fellow citizens, and to deprive the Reform Bill of it, power to make rich and poor concur harmo niously for the public good. The rich, as well as the poor, require the presence of a motive. But to retain the numerical majority, or at least a great part of them, in a forced dependence on the rich, is to weaken the motives of the rich to stand well in the good opinion of their fellow citizens, and consequently to diminish the sa lutary influence of the Reform Bill. What we said as to the difference between the Peers and he electors as to responsibility is so far true, that, with the exception of the anomalies re tained (the small boroughs), the voters are sup nosed to be all who are qualified to vote, and identified in interest with the nation. If suffi' ciently numerous to be identified in interest ith the rich, to say that they are responsible is merely saying that the nation is responsible to itself.—Morning Chronicle. The Constitutionnel contains a valuable do cument on the military force of Russia. In some introductory observations that Journal observes. " that it is principally on the exaggerated idea of its military force that the Russian Cabinet founds the success of its political negotiations, ind it has been so much the more easy for it to gain credit for this idea in Europe, as it ha been favoured by the party of the foreigner. But in the age of publicity in which we live. such errors cannot last—such manceuvres canno . long succeed; the press of France and Eng• land has already done much to reduce to its just value this military power, which has been •ermed colossal, and it has succeeded in weaken ing the sentiment of fear which absolutism was fond of encouraging, with a view to check the progress of European liberty. To the informa tion which we have already published with this object, we hasten to add a document which we have just received from abroad, and of which we can guarantee the accuracy. This publica ion appears to us the more a propos; as the ,iffairs of Turkey assume a character of the utmost gravity." We shall, on a future day, insert this document at length. At present w e shall merely notice the results. After giving in detail the division and position of the Russian army, the document proceeds to give the effec tive of the army. " The Russian army," it observes, " thus divided and spread over the vast territory of the empire, would seem, at first sight, to have an immense effective, and this, perhaps, is one of the motives of the erroneous belief which has long existed in Europe. We can affirm, that the numerical situation of which we are about to offer the expose, is the most exact which has yet reached France since the Revolution of July." The effective may be thus stated in results :—The total of the infantry 315,800; cavalry 73,920 ; artillery, sappers, and pioneers, 35 000 ; thirty regiments of regular Cossacks 15,000 ; in all, 439,720. " And yet," says the document, this number ought to be considered as much too high, on account of the incomplete state of the regiments, of which several, we are assured, are only entered by way of remembrancer, not having received any recruits since the last wars. It is notorious at St. Petersburgh, that in case of an European war, Russia could scarcely form an army of 80,000 men in a state to cross the frontiers. The campaigns of Turkey and Poland have not only exhausted the forces of this vast empire, but have also obliged the Emperor to occupy Wallachia and Moldavia militarily, and to keep up an army of occupation in Poland. Hence the best-informed Generals, such as Paskewitsch, Geismar, Pallier), &c., frequently say that the Polish Revolution has been doubly disastrous for Russia, in depriving it of the concurrence of the Polish army, and in obliging it to keep a Russian army in Poland, which would break out again into insurrection if this army were to withdraw." We take credit to ourselves for having been among the first to en deavour to dispel the notion of Russia being a formidable Power. It is not ; and the more it extends its territories, it will be weaker. Nations are not powerful in a military sense because they possess a large territory ; for of two nations of thirty millions, the one inhabiting a country of moderate extent, and the other spread over an al most boundless surface, the former is incomparably more powerful than the latter. Thus, for instance, supposing even the revenue 'of Russia larger than that of Austria, the latter Power being able in a tew days to bring its whole force to bear on a given point, while the other cannot for years move an army from one part of the Empire to another (tu say nothing of the expense of moving).. Austria oiust be many times stronger in a military sense than Russia. Even Prussia could at a short notice bring into the field 300,000 men, three or four times, the force which Russia could move. It is quite cleat, that if Austria chooses, -he can, when she will, stop the career of Russia in Turkey ; and we have no doubt that Austria Nill not allow Russia to occupy Moldavia and Wallachia, or to meddle further with the in ternal affairs of Turkey. We may now see the wisdom of the course which has been adopted in the question between Russia and Poland. With the exception of Prussia, no Power could interfere with effect between Russia and Poland ; Ind Prussia was disinclined. But Russia has been weakened by her victory. Her weakness, 'n the first place, has been made apparent to Europe. In the next place, the cruelty of the measures which despotism found necessary for its security, has given her a constant enemy in Poland. She is in the situation of one who can only keep.his enemy down by pressing on him. The moment he rises, the enemy is also on his legs. Russia has had rope enough in the affairs of Poland and Turkey, and she will never reco ver the consequences.—Morning Chronicle. That the people of England shall not be taxed but by their own consent, we need not say, is one of the great leading maxims of our Consti tution ; perhaps the most important one. It is a maxim, also, in respect of which the public mind exercises a vigilant and wholesome jea lousy, as far as Parliament is concerned. But here are no people on the face of the earth who more patiently bear an enormous weight of local taxation, imposed by select juntas, who arro gate to themselves the right of disposing of the property of their fellow-subjects by rates and assessments, made with closed doors, in dark ness and in mystery, and over the application of which imposts the people have no control, nor are they allowed to be present at the revision of the accounts touching the expenditure of their own money. In regard, to taxation the people of England are under the curse of Issachar— they are " the ass between burdens ;" but they certainly exhibit more of the patience of that overloaded and long-enduring animal, when taxed by petty local oligarchies, than when the great Council of the nation fixes on them its fiscal talons. It is true the " doings" of the self-constituted Select Vestries, at length roused their indignation ; but tire rapacious exactions of those local tyrannies were borne with asto nishing equanimity for a greater length of time than they would have been endured in almost any other country ; and after all, it is likely that, hut for the energetic denunciations of the Press, those nuisances would still have flourished in all their pestilent luxuriance. Let us look to another source of local taxation, Ind the jobbing and extravagance connected with it ;—we mean the county taxation, which is transacted in Courts of Quarter Sessions. Long have the jobbing and extravagance been borne with exemplary patience which swell the county rates in most counties of England to an enor inous amount. This jobbing and this extravagance are greatly facilitated and encouraged by the privilege which the Magistrates in general as sume of discussing the county business, and transacting all matters of account, with closed •loors. The eye of the public not being upon them, no sense of shame—no dread of public opinion--exists to set any limits to corrupt and venal rapacity, wherever it builds its own sordid schemes upon the impoverishment of the people. In those dark conclaves, whenever a virtuous Magistrate opposes himself to the prevalent spirit of jobbing, he is put down by numbers, who find in the secrecy of the proceedings their best protection. It is with pleasure we see that at last, in a few counties, a spirit of resistance begins to display itself towards this system. We feel that we do an essential service to the public in promoting every legal effort to enforce economy, not only upon the Government, but upon all local authorities that exercise the taxing prerogative. We feel that a most salutary control would be exercised over the taxation and expenditure of counties if the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions were obliged to transact all the county business in the face of the public. It is part of the duty of the Clerk of the Peace, we believe, to audit the accounts of the County Treasurer ; and yet, in such a way is patronage exercised in the dis posal of those appointments, thatiu some counties he Clerk of the Peace is also the County Trea surer, and has thereby the agreeable duty— which, of course, he never fails to perform—of passing his own accounts. We believe not only the propriety but the legality of holding the two offices may be fairly questioned ; but of this again. As to the closed doors :—Supposing the Chancellor of the Exchequer, supported by the Treasury benches, was to insist on always bringing forward his Budget with closed doors, and that the same suspicious precaution of ex cluding the public should take place whenever the various Estimates came on for discussion, and that, in short, the House of Commons should insist upon dealing with the purse of the nation as it pleased under the protection of impenetrable secrecy, what an outcry would there not be raised from one end of the kingdom to another ! But why should the tax-makers of the Courts of Quarter Sessions be allowed a protection against the control of public opinion . which,.at least in practice, is not claimed by the High Court of Parliament ?—Morn. Herald. It seems to be universally admitted that the time has arrived when, without an entire and manifest disregard to the peace, the welfare, or even the integrity of the empire, it is impossible longer to delay the employment of strong and unsparing measures with a view to chastise and restrain the Papist rebels of Ireland. It will be difficult, no doubt, for the members of the pre sent Administration to recommend such mea sures to Parliament as the circumstances of the case require. It cannot be forgotten by them selves, were the rest of mankind even resolved to forget, that the system of agitation and the trade of disloyalty in the Sister Kingdom have had their most valuable and effective patrons in the members of his Majesty's present Govern ment, and that to their countenance and sup port the system is indebted for its gradual ad vance towards perfection, arid the trade for its continued accession of prosperity. This con sciousness, afflicting, depressing, and paralysing as it must be to airy body of statesmen in trusted at the present moment with the govern ment of the empire, will not, it is generally understood, induce the Ministers who labour under it to retire from a position in which the> cannot perform their duty without incurring the odium of treachery to their former confederate , and allies ; neither will it, we are confidently told, compel them altogether to abandon their duty. and leave those ancient allies and confederates to pursue unrestrained and unpunished their career of disorganization and rebellion. Ministerial in genuity, we are given to understand, has hit upon a compromise. The Popish agitators are to be controlled, and, if they persevere, to be punished ; but as a salvo to the consistency and the con sciences of those members of the Cabinet who are identified with the cause of agitation, while their former confederates are coerced or chas tised, the common cause is to be advanced ; the Convention and the Volunteers are to be put down, but, in compensation, the Protestant Church is to he put down along with them ; Mr. O'Connell is to be prohibited from assuming the functions of Sovereign, but in revenge Bishop Doyle is to be ad vanced many steps nearer to the dignity of Pontiff. The old policy, in short, is to be pursued of giving a triumph to neither party. We speak in all sincerity when we say that rather than this we could have wished that Nit.. O'Connell and his fellow-agitators, the former allies of the Administration, were per- mitted to pursue their schemes of agitation without interruption or impediment. A triumph to neither party' A nice adjust ment of coercion and surrender ! A balance between restraints to be imposed upon the enemies of British connection in one scale, and mortification and weakness to be inflicted upon the friends of British connection in the other ! If this is to be the policy of Go vernment—if these are to be the means by which Ministers, heretofore the authors and abettors of agitation, are to maintain their per sonal consistency, while they adopt the strong measures which are required for its suppression, we say at once and unequivocally that agitation is by far the less alarming evil of the two, and that the silence of the brawlers who disturb Ire land will he purchased at a price immeasurably too dear, if the measures to enforce it are to be accompanied by other measures calculated to en feeble the Protestant party, without whose stre nuous and unabated exertions Ireland, as a com ponent part of the British empire, never could have been, and can now less than ever be, preserved. The system of conciliation, the im becile system of giving a triumph to neither party, has brought I eland to the miserable and dangerous situation in which we now behold her. It is obvious that nothing but perseverance in that mean and cowardly system is required to make Ireland not worth preserving to the ern pire, and to render it impossible that it should be preserved. What does Mr. O'Connell and his party care for any blow which the Legis lature can level against them, provided an equal blow be levelled at the same time against the Protestant party and the Protestant Church in Ireland? The latter blow must tell. It will be aimed at institutions which cannot, like O'Connell and his party, elude its shock or recover from its effects. The wound inflicted by such a blow is certain and permanent, while that which is directed against noisy individuals or factious clubs obtains its utmost triumph when they condescend for a moment to bend to the authority of the new law, or change merely the language of agitation by vehement demands for its repeal, or insolent vaunts that they can drive through it with a coach and six. What is it that forms the only connecting link of the slightest peamanent force between Great Bri tain and Ireland ? The Protestant population of the latter country, and the Protestant Church which is there established. And against these, therefore, the enemies of British connection direct their unwearied efforts. There is no inroad, let it be ever so slight, upon the dignity or influence of that Church, or upon the security of that popu lation, which would not snore than reward the Papist faction for all their labours in the cause of agitation, and more than atone to them for the utmost degree of temporary restraint which the Legislature may impose upon their immediate exertions. To put an end to their present cam paign against Protestantism and Protestant in stitutions, is the utmost that all the power of the Legislature can effect against them ; but if the measures for this purpose are accompanied by any legislative aggression against the Protestant Church, who does not perceive that by this very act they obtain for their next and not distant campaign an advanced position and invigorated powers ? It is alarming to hear the advocates and organs of the present Administration assert, as they do, the probability that Ministers will resort to strong measures in order to put clown the exist ing political agitation in Ireland, and to restrain the irregular and dangerous proceedings of the Popish demagogues who are its immediate authors ; when they assert, at the same time, that Ministers will maintain their reputation for liberality, by accompanying their measures of coercion with measures to secure the permanent tranquillity of that country by removing the grounds of popular discontent. These expres sions, coming from such a quarter, are of omi nous import. They intimate that Government will only restrain the unofficial Destructives, in order that they may, by their own acts, more cer tainly and effectually destroy. They imply that once more, under the silly and hypocritical pre tence of giving a triumph to neither party, a real and substantial triumph is to be afforded to Popery over Protestantism—to the inveterate enemies of British connection over its steadfast and ill-requited friends.—Morning Post. ROLLS COURT, JAN. 25. 13UCKINGIIAbl V. BAINBRIDGE. Mr. Twlss and Mr. WAKEFIELD appeared in this case for the plaintiffs. The bill was filed for the purpose of procuring the specific performance of an agreement, which, in 1826, the plaintiffs had entered Imo with a person named Semple, now a bankrupt, he defendants being his assignees. Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. WRAY, for the defen dants, stated, that a more palpable case of usury had iiever come under their notice. It appeared that in terest had been charged at the rate of 10 per cent., and that quarterly rests had been made, with com pound interest. Mr. JERVIS replied. A long discussion ensued, and his Honour allowed the case to stand over till to-morrow (this day). COURT OF COvIMON PLEAS, JAN. 25. TOWNER V. MASSEY. This was an action on a promissory note for 3001. The defence set up was, that there had not been a good consideration given for the note, the debt for which it was passed consisting of a quantity of sad dlery and harness, &c., supplied to the defendant he was a minor. It appeared that in seven months he had been furnished with 36 whips, five suits of horse clothing, four saddles, one a side sad (lle, seven pair of spurs, &c. The charges for all (hese, however, were reasonable. Verdict for the plaintiff—l./Images 3001. STEADMAN V. EARDLEY. This was an action to recover six guineas and a half for meat and drink supplied to the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff and defendant (the former a married man) took lodgings at Highgate, tor the purpose of enjoying some fishing and other country recreation. The di fetntint occupied a bed room in the house of a Mrs. Smith, and the plaintiff, with his wife, occupied a drawing-room and bed room in the same house. They continued very good friends for some time, and passed their time socially together, occasionally making a fishing excursion in cAnpahy with other friends, and occasionally having a small whist party in the evening, until, unh a ppily, a quarrel arose at cards one evening, and, from being friends, the parties became enemies. The de fendant having taken his meals at the plaintiff's table, the present action was brought to recover re muneration for the defendant's board. The only question in the cause was, whether the defendant was to be considered a visiter or a boarder with the plaintiff during the period in question. The evi dence on the plaintiff's part went to show that the understanding between the parties was that they should defray the expenses between them ; and the defendant, on the quarrel taking place at cards, told the plaintiff that he wished to have his account set tled. On the part of the defendant it was sworn, that the plaintiff had expressly invited the defendant to come and sprid a week or ten days with him, arid consequently the defendant's friends, by way of returning the civility, sent him presents of ducks, pigeons, wine, &c. The parties appeared to be in the rank of life of respectable chopmen.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Da.nages 61. 164. 6d. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 25. WALKER V. NICKOLLS. This was an action on an attorney's bill, and the defence was, that the bill had not been delivered month before action. At the time a verdict wa , found for the plaintiff, and a rule Nisi to enter a non suit having been obtained, the case now came or, for di,cussion upon that rule, the question being whether or not this was such a bill as ought, under the statute, to have been delivered a month before the commencement of the action. The COURT decided in favour of the argument in support of the ride, observing, however, that it was not necessary to deliver a bill according to the Act, unless it related strictly to business done as an at- torney.—Rule absolute. THE KING V. THE CORPORATION OF NEWCASTLE- UN DER LYME. Mr. FOLLETT moved for a rule for a mandamus to the corporation of Newcastle-under-Lyme, to elect a town-clerk. The late town-clerk hot been ejected by a deckion or t hi. Court, and this mandamus would be to fill up the vacincy.—Rule Nisi granted. Mr. DOUGHTY obtained a rule Nisi far an attach ment against the Mayor of Newcastle. under-Lyme, for not allowing an inspection of the corporation book , , put guava to an order of the Court. COURT OF ADMIRALTY, JAN. 25. LOSS OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP THETIS. Mr. HAGGARD was heard at considerable length to-day in support of the claim of Captain Dickinson as principal salver. Admiral Baker had himself con sidered the treasure as derelict until, by the extra ordinary exertions of Captain Dickinson, not less than 750,000 nut of 810,000 dollars were recovered; that it was bona vacontin, "in the deep bosom of the ocean buried," ti►l raised by the skill of his client. The owners ungraciously objected to the salvage re muneration, The Learned Civilian cited many cases in support of the claim, and argued, from the facts in the cause, that to Captain Dickinson alone was die the honour of the noble enterprise that had been accomplished. Dr. MATCIIAM, for the officers and crew of the IVarspitc, and Drs. CURTIS and ROBINSON, for the Hon. Captain de Roos and the crew of the Algerine, also addressed the Court in support of the claims of these several parties. The further proceedings were adjourned. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 25. NEWTON V. PEACOCK. Mr. IltPrctuNsoN showed cause against a rule obtained by the defendant, for entering a su2ge:tion on the roll for depriving the plaintiff of costs, under the London Court of Requests Act, the 39' h and 40th George 111., c. 104. The Act extends the provisions of former Acts to cases where the debts to be recovered shall not amount to .51., and shall be due from any person residing or inhabiting within the city of London or its 1 berties, or keeping any house, warehouse, shop, shed, stall, or stand, or seeking a livelihood, or trading, or d sling, within the same city ; and if any action shall be brought in any oilier C tort than the said Court of Requests, for any debt not exceeding 51., and recoverable in the said Court of Request:, the plaintiff shall not be entitled to any costs whatever. The plaintiff had obtained a verdict for less than .51., and it appeared from the affi lavits, that the defendant was a Prussian-blue manufacturer, and that he rented, what he himself described as a warehouse, but what the plaintiff's affi lavits styled a counting-house, in Allhallow's lane, London, where he occasionally slept, but that he generally slept at the house of his father-in-law, in Kent. Under these circumstances, Mr. Hut chinson contended that the defendant was not a re sident or inhabitant within the city of London, en titled to the protection of this Act. • Mr. STEERs, contra, insisted that the defendant, keeping a warehouse within the city, was so en titled.—Rule discharged. CONSISTORY COURT, JAN 25. BROWNE V. BROWNE. Dr. LUSHINGTON gave sentence in this case. It was a question of jurisdiction; Mr. Browne, in a suit of divorce, by reason of adultery, contending that, according to the canons and the Statute of Ciialions, he was not liable to be cited before this Court, as he was not inhabiting a dwelling within the diocese of London. The Learned Judge, with out affixing any precise meaning to the words " inhabiting and dwelling," held that M. Browne had not shown that he was not an inhabitant of the dioce-e within the meaning of the S.atute, and consequently over-ruled the protest and costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, JAN. 25. EXPARTE LAMBTON, IN RE GRAHAM AND TAIT. Mr. Twiss stated that this was an application under the following circumstances :—Lambron, who resided at Newcastle-on-Tyne, was a creditor unde r the estate of Graham and Tait to the amount of 1,6001. On the 20th of December Lambton sent up the necessary papers and documents for his proof to his solicitor in town, who, being occupied in a case of very great importrnce, forgot the day on which the proof was to be made. A dividend of 12, 6d. in the pound had been declared, but not mide. Lambton now prayed that the declaration of dividend might be revoked, and another meeting advertised at his expense, at which his proof might be admitted. The COURT said that the order might be taken, subject to Mr. Swanston's consent, all the costs to be paid by the applicant. INSOLVENT COURT, JAN. 25. Henry Williams was opposed by Mr. COOKE, for a creditor named Keightley. The insolvent had been a schoolmaster and a lodging-house keeper; the latter description had not been set forth in his schedule. He came to London from Worcestershire, and five days after his arrival was arrested in Verulam-buildings, where he stated he had gone to endeavour to make an arrangement with his creditors, in consequence of a letter received from his wife. He was examined by the Learned Counsel as to the disposal and ownership of a horse and gig. The following was the manner in which he gave his answers. The horse and gig belonged to my lodger, Mrs. Wilson, who has died since I have been in prison. I used it when I liked for two years. Mrs. Wilson supported it. I paid the duty f o r it. Mr. Wilson, I swear, has taken it ; he lives at Birmingham ; he took it about the time of my arrest. I never gave it to my brother ; he has it in his possession because I owed him 381.; he requested to have it, though it was Wilson's property. Since I have be e n h ere h e has had it. My brother. is not in my sc h e d u l e . Since I have been m prison I wrote to say he might take it. It is not Mr. Wilson's property ; I pur ser prevarication pur chased it for Mrs. Wilson's us e; her money paid for it; g ave me the money to pay f or it ; s h e ma d e me a present of it. casTe,n and eLe s a a r id n : d o I saw more gros s BOWDEN stopped va t t io he n never Commissione r and perjury—dismiss the petition."
