In fact, the landholders of the country art , now in a state of extremity—the high Ar;siteracy alone have an interest in keeping the (13hurch as it is ,—and as usual the weakest will go to the wall. Of thin the gentry and yeomanry in England are beginning to be aware. Many are now coquetting, 'with this quastion, \sho will speak loud ere Morning Chroatick. It will be seen, as we stated ywiterday, that the interference of the Allied Courts in the affairs of the Ne,therlands was merely an net of humanity They limited their mediation to the proposition of an armistice between the contend* parties, till measures should be taken to ilfiftvst their differences. No opinion wItS expressed or implied respecting the previous conduct or vxl,ting rights either of the King of Holland or of the Belgic people. It would appear that M. de Potter, probably finding that his weight in the State was not equal to his idea of his own 'importance, has resigned his seat among the members of the Provisional Government. The grounds on which he has divested himself of his power, are either very inconsistent, or very eniguutti. expressed. Ilis colleagues proposed to resign their authority into the hands of a body which, in their opinion, represented the nation. lie refitted to subscribe to their resignation. They were re , guested by this body to remain in dike till a &fit& tive arrangeme nt should be formed, and agreed, at such it flattering solicitation, to continue their ser. vices. Ik, on the other misted m t rr signing. Thus he would mither resign, nor con thine in dice with his colleagues, but resolved on retaining power when they proposed to resign, and resign when they engaged to net. The ground of this extraordinary course seems to be some , odd notion which he entertains reepeeting the origle of his mission nnd the extent or hIM power. it would he ridiculous to appeal to Ordinary rules on occa sions of crisis or revolution, which overturn all Or dinary laws; but, us soon as the storm k passed, order should be restored. M. de Potter and his its» sedates enuld suit receive their power from any na tional delegation, because ten national delegation *Awed et the time ofunerelty when they constituted themselves a Government, hut they were bound to restore it to this d e le gat i on when formed, miller the penalty tet being considered as usurpers. But it would be needlroi to argue further on the unintel hiplArt theories of an ambitious man, on whose letter hie countrymen passed the order of the day.—Tinter. It was only in the last Session of Parliament that the newspaper, which has taken to itself the title of she " leading Journal," discovered a curious ;symp tom of the stability of the late Ministry, which it hastened to comtnunicate to the public. The Ministry Were nearly beaten upon a division in the House of Commons, and the Journal in question, with espirit of optimism that even Dr. Pangoss might envy, Wtavely informed its readers, that to be " nearly beaten" exactly what the Government ought to congietulate theroselves upon, for that their weakness in Parlianient Was It certain proof of their strength with the pent*, This might have been considered a very good sarcasm if it came from any quarter but a friendly one. The " leading Journal" was, how ever, the zealous organ of the Wellington Administra tion, and could or be suspected of insidiously taunting the object of its idolatry by the hitter plea santry of an ironical jest. When we say the object of its " idolatry," eve do not hastily apply the term, for never was more fulsome and unceasing adulation offered up to any idol than the Journal in question was daily in the habit of regaling that statesman with, whom, since his fall from power, it has discos 'erred was never popular with the country ; yet, when either his civil capacity or his popularity were doubted on former occasions, no indignation was too strong, no invectives were too coarse, to con vey the sentiments of profound disdain and lofty in tolerance with which the parasite Press regarded such heretical opinions. Many. a fierce blow and many en oblique shaft were directed at ourselves for daring to question the infallibility of the military Premier, or to doubt that his political gettits, aided by the talents and virtues of such a Cabinet as he had the rare merit to construct, would work the sal vation' of the country / Not many revolutions of the moon have passed since we stood almost alone in exposing' the fallacy of measures which corn minded the applause and profound admiration of nearly the whole of the London daily Press, Cortairdy; it cannot be Said to be for want of support its the newspapers that the Welling ton Admitsistrstion has fallen; and if that Ad- Ministration had adhered in practice to their so /emit and repeated professions of correcting public abuste,veforming . the administration of justice, les sening the burdens or the people, and carrying into effect, honestly and vigorously, all practicable re trenehment and economy, they ahatild litive hat!, es fur at these measures extended, our sincere support also. But when we observed that their chief object wee to keep place and the emoluments of office, and that the public good was only secondary in their estimation—when we observed that, to carry . their own objects of ambition, they relied more on the loselotriguet of cunning, but not able, underlings, than oe the wisdom and virtue of their public mea. sires, and the honest arts of manly statesmanship ."*.'efli did not take great credit to ourselves for atigatity, in foreseeing a disreputable and disastrous Matte their career. .Kathy, indeed, did it augur for the various honesty of their political intentions, Whoa, Instead of inviting the most fearless discussion of their measures, they endeavoured, to establish a tribtraal terror over public opinion, and to utterly destroy the principle of free discussion by the most vloleot and unrelenting persecution of the Press of which modern history, in a free &ate, affords any example 1 As to the aureessora of the late Ministry.' theirstok will be, perhaps, more difficult than that which hot Ministry had to undertake sinee the retro ,They heVe to repair the errors oltheir pre deeeasore, which lave produced roost serious mis chief; and they hove Also to grapple with events more extraordinery then any that: have agitated the political world since the tremendous; crisis of the French !republic.

It will not di) any longer to! tamper with great questions, according to the shift- Mg, equivorating, and despicable doctrine of ekpe. &envy. No Ministry will now satisfy th%'_ , erMritry that do not unite political c!tindetti... With a clear and comprehensive view of affairs, and who do not also possess that moral intrepidity which disdains eve don and subterfuge, and dares to avow and act upon fixed, certain, and intelligible principlea, if, as it now appears pretty certain, (hey is to be the Premier of the new cablf!t*:i, we may anticipate i that a temperate reto"7:l n Purliament will be a Mi. nisterial meas.: re . This Avid have the.effect in time, of cn"."recting many of the abusers in tloVernment of which the public have long had reason to complain; for, if we had htal 'a reformed Parliament prior to the calat'litrins event of the first American war, a 'gain of evils which flowed from that utineres sary and unnatural conflict would 10.` - e been averted, and the nation would not ;lbw be encumbered with eight hundred! tnillions of debt, and the enormous taxation necessary to pay its interest. But, though Parliamentary reform will produce hereafter a great and beneficial change in the system of ooVernment, it can afford no itnerediate r'6lief to the suffering people—that moist polite from such an effective sys tern of rvt.raehment and economy as will allow a COnsiderable reduction of the public burdens. It may be found necessary, indeed tr: repeal all those taxes which most Oppress the productive industry of tht nation, such as those , which raise th *price of the necessaries and com forts of life in a manner that makes them luxuries to the poor. When all preficable economy shall have been ettfictced, it will be seen whether &li b tr what part, of the assessed (OM'S can lit repealed, and whether it will be ne eee','ary to substitute, for a partial system of taxation, the more equitable impost of a property tax. We observe that the leading Journal, anticipating a Whig Ministry, has tdreetly deserted the camp of the Dictator, end giVeil in its adhesion to Whig principles; It is only a few weeks since the same , iournal made a most truculent and exterminating attack on that very class of politicians whom it now so liberally flatters and corn:M ates. It is in the recollection of the publiC that it pronounced a sen tence of political exclusion upon the Whigs, as u party utterly unqualified to administer the affairs of the country; anti now proh ruder I it ascribes their avant of success as statesmen heretofore to their be big invariably betrayed by the King ! If the Whigs are to be duped by such a shallow artifice to catch their support, they must indeed be weak and gul lible enough to deserve the sentence of mental in capacity which the same journal so recently fulmi ;wed against them I Could the Duke of Wellington have rereseen this, he would probably have known what value to have placed on the fulsome praises which he received is po wer, and which are now, it appears, to lie transferred, in all the beauty of second.band lustre and freshness, to his political antegoeists. It is fortunate for him he Las other laurels than those which the hands of his " fawning parasites" planted on his brows, and which have been resumed the moment the sun of power has gone down ! But, in the mean time, " job" is proposed and strongly recommended from the same quarter, as if to hallow time inauguration of the new Ministry. Cart the public who have riot yet heard of it, believe that any newspaper in London has dared, at this moment, while pretend ing to ail rovate retrenchment and economy, to re tommeed that the present indefatigable and most effective Chief Justice of the King's Bench shall be induced to retire upon a pension, in order to make room for Sir James Scarlet t, the ready tool of an intolerant Ministry in the memorable crusade against the Press I Only think of the modesty of such a propnyal--that the country shall he saddled with tiew pension for such a purpose I at a time, too, when the Chief Justice is in better bodily health than he had been three years ago, and when the public and the profession derive the greatest ad vantage from his learning, promptitude, and expert ence,and when he is in the vigorous possession Of all those faculties which have obtained for him the great reputation of being one of the ablest Judges that ever adorned the Court over which he to aus piciously preaidea.—Morning Herald. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 18. TUN KING V. HYATT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant, Henry Hyatt, who had pleaded guilty to an information, charging him with having offered a bribe to an officer of the cue toms, to induce him to permit the landing of a quan tity of brandy, without paying the duty. Mr. Justice PAItKE said, — the sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned in his Majesty's gaol at Dorchester for six calendar months. EX•PARTE BASKERVILLE, ESQ. The ATTORNEY-OICIERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr. John Gardner, an apothecary, residing in Wiltshire, for sending a letter to Thomas l3askervillo Mynora Bankerville, of Watley House, Ogborne St. Andrew, in the county of Wilts with intent to provoke himto fight a duel. The affidavit of Mr. Baskerviile set forth that he was a magistrate of Wilts, and that Mr. Gardner was the apothecary appointed by the parish of Ogborne St. Andrew to attend the sick poor; that some time in July last, he (Mr. Baskerville) heard complaints in the parish against Mr. Gardner for not attending the poor so regularly us he formerly had done, and thought it right, in consequence, to call a vestry meeting. A meeting was accordingly held, and Mr. Gardner and several other persons attended. Mr. Buskerville stated that he understood Mr. Gardner had not been punctual in his attendance upon the poor us he ought to have been, and mentioned the necessity, therefore, to cull in another medical man. Mr. - Baskerville,r in the course of his discussion, said nothing personally offensive to Mr. Gardner; Mr. Gardner, however, applied the most abusive lan. gunge to him - , and became very violent in hii manner. About a week afterwards he received a letter from Mr. Gardner, dated Marlborough, August 16, 1830, in these words, which were clearly meant to provoke a dad : " Sto,—.l have been told, but not until to-day, that you have asked the advice of a friend as to r tha best mode of clearing yourself of some epithets I applied to you at our last meeting. , I. was, I must confess, exceedingly sur prised to hear that such a friend could have given you the advice he is repreiented thhave done, nor am I disposed, On your showing, to believe he did, except,' indeed, he wits guided by misrepresentations made by you, and WAS over anxious to get you out of a scrape he had discernment enough to discover you had no relish for. In point'of birth, I have no hesitation in asserting that I am your superior; in rank in society I am at least your triad! ; in general eitilll346ll so far above you, that I am ashamed to make the comparison. There is nu term of reproach I applied to you, that I will not , on a fitting opportunity repeat ; and now, in addition, tell you that you are poor in prin ciple, poOr in intellect,' and poor in spirit. I am, Ise., " JOHN G A RDNER." The Court granted a rule to show cause, MARZED?I V. WILLIAMS AND OTHERS. This case came on to be argued upon a rule nisi for a new trial obtained by. theAtforney-General, on the part of the defendants, in Hilary Term last. The action had been brought by Mr. Mantetti, a wine-merchant, and ship insurance broker, in" the City, against Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and the bankers of Hirchin-lane, for not honouring a cheque of the plaintiff, who was a customer of their house.. It appeared in evidence at the trial, which took place before Mr. Justice j.. Parke, at Guildhall, in December last, that on the evening of the 17th of December, 1828, the defendants had a balance of the plaintiff's in their hands of 891. 19s. fid. About eleven 'o'clock the next morning, a sum of UV. was . paid in on the plaintiff's account,' increasing the hal,ince to 1091. I9s. 9d. In the course of that day tyre of tle plaintiff's 'cheques were presented at the defendant's shop , one for 201. (Which was paid), anti th e other (the cheque in question) for 871.75.6 d. which wait drawn, in 'avow of a M. nooper. It ' was presented about ten minutes before three o'clock. I The clerk at the counter; arta 'rearing to a book, told Mr. llooler that there were not sufficient assets or tr.ie oniotitrg to pay the cheque, that it was ills. honoured. The clerk, however, said that the plain tiff probably expected that it would go through the clearing-house, which treatit that it would probably be paid in the t..nurse of the day. Mr. Hooper having infortned the pleintiffof what had occurred, the latter wrote to the defendants, remonstrating upon the non-payment of the cheque. (in referring to the account, it Was found that the mistake in say;ng there were not sufficient assets, arose from the cir cumstance of there being no entry in the book to which the clerk referred, of the payment in of the M. on the morning of the 18th of Decerhber, when the cheque was presattcd. The defendants wrote to the plaintiff explaining the mistake ; and when the cheque was presented on the following day, it was paid. On the part of the defendants, the ATTORNEY GENERAL submitted at the trial that the plaintiff must be tionsolteee there being no proof that he hail sustained any actual damage by the refusal to honour the cheque. The learned Judge was, however, of opinion, that as the action was for a breach of duty, it was maimainable i not withmanding no actual da mage had teen sustained ; and he directed the Jury to find a verdict for nominal damages, if they should he of opinion that there was reasonable time for the defendants to have made an entry in their ledger of the 401. paid in, between eleven o'clock in the morning, when it was paid in, and three o'clock in the afternoon, when the cheque was presented. The bankers, he said, were debtors for the money they moment they received it, and were bound to pity it on request, provided they hail reasonable time to make the necessary entry and ascertain the state of the account, The fury having, under this direction of the learned Judge, found a verdict for plaintiff, with nominal damagea (et the same time negativing malice), the Attorney-General, in the following term, obtained is rule nisi to set it aside and enter a nonsuit, on the ground that as this was an action for tort, it could not be maintained, unless specific damage were. proved. Mr.:BROUGHAM BOW showed cause. The action, he observed, was for a breach of contract ; and that there was at least an implied contract could not be doubted. By the usual custom and course of deal ing of bankers, the plaintiff's cheque ought to have been honoured at the time it was presented. The refusal to honour it was an injury to the plaintiff, for though it did not effect him in a pecuniary point of view, his commercial credit was damnified, and that was the ground on which the action had been brought. No special damage had been sustained, nor was it necessary, the learned Counsel con tended, to prove any, to enable the plaintiff to maintain the action. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. CAMPBELL (with whom was Mr. JusTtch) were heard in sup port of the rule. 1.0111 TENTEIMEN was of opinion that the plain tiff was entitled to a verdict for 'tontine) damages. The Attorney-General had insisted that there was a difference between an express arid an implied con tract; but for his (Lord Tenterden's) part, he could see no difference : an express contract was proved by sliming an agreement between parties upon some purticular transaction ; an implied contract was shown by the general course of dealing in trade or commerce, and WILS applicable to general dealings. A banker contracted with his customers to pay their cheques when required, provided he had money of theirs in his hands at the time. That was an im plied contract, according to the general course of dealing between bankers and their customers; and if it was broken, the customer might maintain an action for a breach of contract, although no damage had resulted to him ; or be might bring an action for the tort, for that wits analogous to an action for a breach of contract. His Lordship said Inc could not forbear observing, although it did not appear that the plaintiff in this ease had sustained any pecun'ary damage, that it was a discredit to any person in trade to have his cheques refused, even for a single day ; and the defendants had shown their want of confidence in the plaintiff by their refusal to pay his cheque for so small a sum as WU. The other judges having expressed their opinions to the stone effect, the rule was di-charged. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven of Clock. IMPERIAL PA RLIAM ENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS.

The ocean yields its haivest as well as the land ; and having watched with great anxiety the progress of the one ► we think it right to bestow some atten tion on the other. Since salmon became so scarce and dear, the comfort of the lower orders depends greatly on the plentifulness of the two cheapest or ticks of food—herrings and potatoes—and when we consider how many hearths the binn and the barrel contribute to gladden, it is impossible not to com miserate the situation of the poor, when any defi ciency occurs in the supply of either. An average take of herrings for the whole of Scotland is com puted at 400,000 barrels—the tribute of innumer able bays, sounds, ollings, estuaries, friths, and lakes. The value in money is not much under half a mil lion steeling; and if we except the cooper and the curer's profits, nearly the whole proceeds find their way into the pockets of the most hardy class of his Majesty's subj:cts. Independently of this, large quantities of herrings are consumed in a fresh state, particularly on the west coast of Scotland, and though we have no means of calculating on the exact proportion, it is undoubtedly the reverse of inconsiderable. To take only one example of the benefit conferred by the trade on particular places, we may state that 21,000 barrels of herrings were cured at Peel and other parts of the Isle of Man, in the year 1823, and about 12,000 consumed on the spot, or run to Liverpool in a fresh state, without the slightest deterioration of quality. The estimated value, bounty included, amounted to 50,0001.—a mighty item certainly, as compared with the limits, general exports, and population of Mona, and which, in a certain sense, from the peculiar channels in which it flowed, was just • so much found money to the islanders, The fact cannot be too often stated, that the earth and the waters are the original sources of all we enjoy, and it is delightful to see the Manx man, or arty other islander, similarly situated, wrest ing real wealth from an element which, in enriching others to the most limitable extent, is left none the poorer itself, and which, if such a phrase be at all admissable, can hardly be exhausted by over-cropping. In some parts of the Highlands, the benefits that flow from the herring fishery are perhaps still more remarkable ; and amidst the frowning glories of Ben-Lomond and Ben- Voirlich, with a hundred dim and distant hills in the rear—the blue waters of a navigable lake—the islands that stud its bosom, like oases in the desert —the historic associations which memory recalls— it is impossible not to recur to the moral world, and if this is done in the spirit of philanthropy, what spectacle can be more agreeable than to see Janet in the strati), and Donald in the bay—the one catching his contingent of fish—the other garnering her allot ment of hay, and both supported by the pleasing consciousness, that their united industry, however small the scale, will make the winter months pass more cheerily away. Above and around flocks of sheep and herds of kine, with patches of crop creeping up the bleakest mountain's side, remind the spectator of the real wealth of the Llighlandsond of the uses to which even heather may be turned, in feeding the multitudinous mouths of the British metropolis; and the crowning reflection of all is, that the gene ral progress of cultivation, and the increased facili- 1 ties of communication have increased wonderfully the means of subsistence, knit in closer affinity the human family, and, in the fair spirit of commercial exchange, enable the remotest glen or smith to lend a helping hand to cities and towns. With these general observations, we proceed to give an account of the herring fishery—season 18:30—from sources we deem next to official. At Wick, and adjacent ports, the greatest of all the stations, the fishing ermine Iced in the end of July, and with some trifling interruptions continued till the first week in September. The fleet, which it was beautiful to see afloat, in divisions, courting the first breezes of morn, consisted of 1,500' boats, manned with from four to six men each; and as four and a half may be taken .as the average, we leave it to the intelligent reader to calculate the total number of mariners who were thus congre gated at one point, and occupied, often from morning till night, in dragging wealth from the great :deep. The take, upon the whole, was above an average one and may be stated in round numbers, at 345,000 cranes, or 230 ditto to each boat, price, exclusive of perquisites and bounty by the curers, 10s. to 10s. 6d. per crane. Instances occurred in which particular boats secured 4 and even 500 cranes; still these instances were rare, and according to our method of reckoning, though the parties reaped proportional profit, merely go to swell the general results. At all the smaller harbours on the Caithness coast, the take was equally abundant, and the range of prices exactly the same. At Helmsdale, in Sutherland shire, the boatmen made an excellent use of their time, and may farther boast of the marked supe riority of the herrings caught. Commencing at Port Maholmack, including Crotearty in a different county, and stretching along the coast to Buff and Fraserburgh, the boats on the whole were indif ferently fished, owing, we believe, to the prevalence of breezes from the, north and north-west. At Peterhead, excellent shoals were met with; but from the inadequate supply of casks and salt, the golden opportunity was in some measure lost. But it is a bad wind that blows nobody 'good, and from the lack of curing materiel, the country wives got their barrels and other utensils crammed with fish, almost, we may say, on their own terms, and in exchange for eggs, butter, cheese, or such other articles as they chose to supply. At Montrose, John's Bead, and Bervie, less business was done than usual; but whether from the weather, or the shyness of the shoals, we have no means of ascer taining. From the points just named we must strike right across to the Frith of Forth—a movement which is easily made on paper—and thus conclude our rapid survey of the maitiland line of fishing stations on the nether side of Cape Wrath. At Dunbar and Eyetnouth,; the fortune of the boatmen was very various, and induced some of them to re gret that they had not moved further from home; but a dense population and contiguOus markets gave such a fillip to the retail part of the trade, that upon the whole they were well rewarded fur their labour. In the Orkney Islands the take, which was on a har with that of Wick, is considered the best that as occurred for years. In that "emote quarter, the Ultima Thule of Scotland, where the men are all brave, and the women mostly fair, the nautical is the only active life; and we need hardly add, that extended intercourse with the world around them hasprodoced &wonderful revolution in the opinions, habits, and Mariners of 'the people. Voltaire some , where sarcastically remarks that while the Pottu guese sailors, beforcentering battle, fall prostrate on deck, and implore their saints to perform miracles in their favour, the British tare stand to their guns, and work miracles for themselves. And it is even so with the men of Orkney. In place of palavering with cunning jaggers (pedlars), they now read newspapers like other people ; " Norna," and her nonsense have been thrown overboard; nostrums from the " Fitful Head " are no longer a marketable commodity ; vrarlockry is at a discount, knowledge at a premium ; and in every scene of difficulty and danger the charm of charms is found to consist in stout hearts and willing arms, with one little appliance to boot, by way of a substi trite for the quondam bags of witch-wind—a pocket pistol loaded with excellent mountain dew, by far the best corrective of the fogs of a dim and distant ocean. Hence the success of the truly hardy in habitants of Orkney, and hence the rich harvest of fins which will this year enrich the whole island, and tell on the comforts of the meanest cottager. We regret to add that their neighbours, the Shetlanders, were less fortunate. From the bad weather that pre vailed making t this i t he i r beginning, appearance--a some of the curers from the place in despair of doing any good. Afterwards the fishing was very tolerable, though the season .was short, and the supply under an average on .the whole. In the North-west Highlands, including the He. brides, the season scarcely lasted a month; la what is worse, but _little business was done, if tee except the Sound of Scalp, and from thente: lo Portree on the coast of Skye. Nearly the WO? mark applies to the Lochfine, and the other itstieni on the Frith of Clyde, arid it is a curious feet thit when the herrings are scarce, the quality is unifero found inferior. We _turn now to the Isle of I% Man -- a which we feel considerable interest, from the tie cumstance that it lies not very far from 'oaleite doors. The fishing commenced on the Piel.er west side, and was at first so promising that the usual preparations were made at Douglas, and hops were entertained that the accommodating herrinls would move round the whole island, and court every where the martyrdom of the net. But these MO were not realized, chiefly from the boisterous stste of the weather, and partly from the inditferret economy of the boatmen. With all his Pa qualities, the Manxman quails to the hardy n i g h. lender ; is less enterpr6ing, and far more su p er* stitious !
