THE CHEVALIER, PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) There is at present in the possession of a gentle man here, a portrait of the Chevalier, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, lately brought from the Continent, which answers so exactly to the description and idea of his early personal appe4rance, as given by a lady, in the interesting letter from Rome in 1775, in serted in The Sun of Saturday, the 16th instant, that I cannot deny myself the pleasure of essaying a sketch, and of bringing it, through your extensively circulated, liberal, and independent Journal, under the notice of the public, the admirers of national ancient costumes, and of old family paintings, as an interesting relic, worthy of their attention, and of the antiquarian's notice also; in connection with that letter, the republication of the Waverley No vels, and the Stuart Papers, now in Sir Walter Scott's possession, and in progress of publication, under the immediate direction of his Majesty, by that mighty northern magician, whosel talismanic wand, and happy genius, charms into lively public i nterest every thing touched by his magic pen. This unique picture, as it may be considered, which, from the fresh, florid, and youthful appearance of the countenance, was evidently taken about the period of the Prince's coming to Scotland in 174.5; is a full length portrait, on a three-quarter canvas size, and equ►pped, in what is termed in Gaelic" Am breachdan guaile sa'n seann triuise,*" the old High- land costume, court dress, and equestrian garb, worn by the Highland Nobility, Gentry, and aged Gael, about a century ago ; and though now in disuse, was a handsome, graceful, and rather com fortable garb. In thi; picture the Prince, who is represented with a comely, fair, and ruddy oval-face, blue eyes, and a countenance rather grave than animated, is drawn as a handsome,' dignified, r.oble, graceful personage, and of a stately gait; is pourtrayed in a standing posture, as wearing the curly court wig of Charles the Second's. time and style, in flowing ringlets about the neck and shoulders; dressed in a suit of dark green tartan, similar to the 42d pat tern; coat and trews all of the same plaid ; the tight trews, which is well shaped to the limbs, is seen nicely and tastefully inverted, and winding downwards round the calf and foot, is terminated by forming the hose on entering into the shoes —a pair of Highland hunting .brogues. Over the dress, across the shoulders, from right to left, he wears a scarf, or shoulder plaid, seemingly of the Royal Stuart pat tern, flowing gracefully downwards to his left as far as the bough. The coat sleeves are slashed in the Spanish style or fashion, disclosing to the view the scarlet lining of silk, and terminating in a pair of huge, wide, and heavy cuffs, turned up, and spreading upwards from the wrist, where it is narrowed so as to receive the wide and large old military glove. The collar, which is low, is elegantly embroidered and orna mented with a St. Andrew's cross, as the badge and only order he is seen to wear, instead of a star. The scarlet vest, .his fine white shirt of lawn, plaited plain bosom, low collar, and the white stock, or cravat, worn round about his fine and lofty neck, together with his fair-haired wig, and rosy blooming countenance, sets off the dark green dress of tartan to advantage, and forms a suitable contrast. His r:glit arm squared, is seen•leaning inwards on the bench, with the thumb resting inside, and fingers outside the folds of his scarf; and his left hand is seen extended downwards by his side, holding the hilt of his basket broad sword, with a fold of his flowing, plaid, turned round his fore-arm.. Before him in the foreground is hie large round target, on which is designed the star of the Order of the Knights of the Thistle. On his left, on a bank, is seen his pistol and dirk, laid across each other, over his blue bonnet, in which a scarlet cockade is seen, fixed on with the oldt dealg or skewer, used for this purpose by the Gael at that period. On his right, at a distance, is seen a withered or blasted aged oak, and beyond it an ancient castle.— The artist's name is not ascertained, but the paint ing is well executed, and evidently done by a man taate, talent, and eminence; his name might be concealed for obvious reasons, his doing it most likely for a rebel, as the admirer of the costume,—indeed any individual then daring to have the Chevalier's likeness, in his possession and keeping,'would have been considered; and the artist, too, might run the hazard of not finding employment from the enemies and despieers of the Prince, by being known to have tiikaii his likeness. The head is finely finished, and the tints and co- louring of the face are worthy of a Lawrence, and aortas and so exactly with the descriptio n g iven of the Chevalier by the lady in question, that nothing could be more descriptive, the hair alone excepted, that of the wig being lighter than she describes. The gracefully elegant flowing folds of the drapery is well pourtrayed and relieved, arid as tastefully and fnithfully executed as could b.s. expected; consider ing the difficulty an artist, not versed in tartans, seed plaid dresses, has in finishing the Highland cos tume and plaid drapery. The personal figure, which is well proportioned, rathetsabove the middle size, is represented as hand some and elegant, with the head thoughtfully eles vated towards his right, with a dignified, manly, lofty look, a princely, gracefnl, easy air, and a confi dential majestic aspect, such as uene beneath the dignity of a Prince born to command coo.Jld assume. • " Shoulder plaid and old trews." -1- The Vealg; or skewer, was a bodkin used by the Highlander to fasten the cockade by a loop from the in side on the bonnet, Ind generally curved from the splinter of the deer's shank, Or small of the hind foot, neatly polished, and tapering towards the end to a sharp point, with the top end shaped in the fora, of what in heraldry is called a shield, with the most promiosoi object or figure in the coat of arms field, engraved or cut on the one side, and on the reverse the initial of the Chief or Laird's title, estate, or surname. The wx:ter of this article had once a dealg i n his p osses sion, formerly worn in his cockade by the gallant Colonel John Munro, of Newmore, who, on the death of Sir Rolsert Munro, of Foulis, was, for his bravery, courage, and conduct, raised from being Cap tain to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the 421 Regiment, previously held by his Chief, Sir Robert. On the one side of this dealg was carved the Eagle's head, and neck gales, the field ornament of the Munro's coat of arms' shield, and on the reverse side, iigtead of the initial M. for his surname, it had the initial N. ter ',‘..rewmore, the estate he was Laird and proprietor of. • The estate of Muirkirk, on the waters of Ayr and Greenock, extending to 17,500 acres, has been pur chased by the Duke of PORTLAND at 75,0001, The ren tal is estimated at 3,4001. The estate of Glenorabard, near Baldaroock, we..., sold on Wednesday last, to Mr. G way, manufacturer, for 10,500/. It contains 160 acres, awl the rental is said to be 4 01. Glasgow Chronicle. FAT AL ACCIDENTS OFF Willg HARBOUR. —With sincere regret we have the painful task of saying, ' that accounts have reached us, stating that the Luddeu gale of wind from the South East which arose on Thurs.. day last had proved extremely fatal in its consequences, and destructive of several larks off this harbour; indeed, from the almost instantaneous ohang,e from a perfect calm to tt viislent storm, fears were naturally excited that cala lasities liad ensued on this part of the Avast. From Robert's Cove our correspondent states, that on 'ilinraday stternoon, a issge coaster, supposed to be laden with pn taines, from the westward, was seen to founder, in which thane men perished. One of the unfortunate sufferers UT as 01)Skr Yell to ascend dm mast as the boat was going down, And wave his hat as ac signal of distress, but the sea running et the time mountain.: high, and no life boat being placed in that district, it was imp,-;t-sible to render the least assistance to the perishing crew. At nearly the same time a hooker iying in Crusheen Bay, in order to take in a cargo of slates, was blown out of the Bay; she had two men on board, and no ecconnt had been tereived of her at an advanced hour on SAturday, lii ,audition to these calamities, we have the distressing duty ;o state, that a whale boat,' With five men, belonging to ilonkstown, which left that plat=e ou Thur,day in order to. look out for pilotage,-has also perished in the gale, and all hands on board lost. These unfortunate sufferers have left families to mourn their melancholy fate/ which are thrown into a state . of the deepest distress,,,and•have be come objects of commiseration to the bencyclent,—Cork Constitution, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1830. The answer to inquiries after the health of Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD is, that the Right Honourable Gentleman is much the same to day as yesterday. AI% HERRIE9 is labouring under a severe cold. The official papers connected with the Board of Trade are, therefore, forwarded to the Right Hon. Gentleman at his private residence. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednes day have been received. The following, from our Correspondent, contains their spirit : " PARIS, JAN. 27. " The 3foniteur of this morning contains a Royal ordonnance, founded on the report of the Minister of the Interior, declaring that the great unfinished building on the Quay d Orcay, begun under the government of Na poleon, and intended, I believe, for the accommodation of the Imperial Guard, is hereafter to be employed as a re ceptacle for the exhibition of objects of French industry, on the plan of the well-known exhibition of a similar nature in the King's Mews at Charing-cross. This, in deed, is suggested by the report of M. de Montbel, which contains the following passage. Alluding to the triennial exposition at the Louvre, be observes-- "' The undoubted results of these exhibitions are uni versally understood. Thus England, so careful that no advantage can be obtained over her in all that relates to commercial prosperity, has hastened to imitate our ex ample. The city of London already enjoys the spectacle of a perpetual exhibition of the products of British in dustry; there is already in that capital a vast edifice, de voted to this useful purpose.' " It is added, in the same courtly style Our inter national industry, Sire, has not had to regret the posses sion of inferior favour ; like the Sciences, Literature, and the Arts, it has held its sittings in your Majesty's Palace, for the Palace of the Kings of France is the asylum of all generous institutions.' " As I anticipated in my letter of yesterday, the Libe rals have had another triumph at Lisieux, the most re markable circumstance in which is, that although the opponents of the Ministry are known to be divided by many shades of opinion, they have had the tact to con centrate their forces and combine them on a single candi date, while the ministerial party, although the result has proved them, even if perfectly united, to have been abso lutely in the minority, so mismanaged the matter as to neutralize their votes by spreading them over five different candidates. The temper of the Ministry will again be tried by the result of this election, as I understand that a number of mayors and other functionaries have voted in M. Guizot's majority, which will, no doubt, produce their dismissal, unless the new Minister of the Interior is to abandon the path of his predecessor M. de la Bour donnaye. The official functionary, the Marquis de Neu ville, sent down by Government to preside over the Elec toral College on this occasion, is reported in addressing the electors to have said, in allusion to the fact that M. Guizot iv not a native of the Department.—" Should we not firmly reject a candidate entirely foreign to our soil, our wants, and our persons? It is in vain they tell us he is a man of honour and loyalty, an accomplished orator, en endowed with s.ll the talents and all the virtues. We do not know him—he does not know us—and that alone should ensure his exclusion.' . . " These observations will doubtless be thrown in the teeth of Berryer,fi/s, the Ministerial candidate, in the ap proaching election at Puy, where he is equally a stanger to the soil, the wants, and the persons of those whose suffrages ho has gone to solicit. It was at one time under stood that Guernon de Ranville was himself to have paid his court to the electors of Puy ; but probably it was not thought decorous to subject a Cabinet Minister, in the present emergency, to the risk of a defeat. " Since the breaking up of the Seine yesterday morning, after the late severe weather, much damage has been done to the ranges of bathe, washing establishments, and other craft, with which the river is encumbered. The great embankment opposite the plains of Grenelle, has been par tially carried away ; and the bridge of Grenelle itself has b4e4 seriously injured." ODESSA, SAN. 2. Colonel Muebanoff, of the Guards, has arrived here to attend the Turkish embassy to St. Petersburgh, in the cha racter of Alehmandar. He has several officers and court equipages with him, and is making all preparations to make the journey convenient and agreeab'e to the Ambassadors. They ;re to set out on the 7th instant, and 200 horses are k.•pt ready at every stage. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock — South Sea Stock 3 per Cent.

His Imperial Majesty has • been pleased, to grant to those provinces various exemptions from the payment of arrears of taxes, and bus also ordered the Minister of Finance to concert with the Governor-General of these provinces such measures as may be calculated for the relief of Bessarabia, whose inhabitants have not only had to support extraordinary burdens during the war, but have suffered also by the ravages of the plague.

If the letter which we yesterday published, purporting to be addressed to Sir JOHN MAL cor,m, be the genuine production of the Presi dent of the Board of Controul—and if that production be in truth the reflection of the sentiments of his MAJESTY'S Ministers on Indian affairs, it is high time for the opponents of monopoly to renew their efforts to procure the freedom or commerce in the East with re doubled vigour. It is a proof to the manu facturers of Manchester, and the merchants of Liverpool, that their object requires to be pur sued and followed up with unceasing vigilance, and that no pains must be spared to strengthen the conviction that has begun to be so gene rally entertained, of the absolute necessity of opening to British traders the commerce now exclusively enjoyed by the Company. The respect we entertain for the sound prin ciples in regard to trade, on which the present Government have constantly acted, and the con fidence we especially place in the clear under standing of the Noble Duke at the head of the Ministry, do not permit us to believe that Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S letter is to be con sidered an indication of the policy of his MA JESTY'S advisers. There is au air of inconsi deration, and a tone of affectation throughout the whole epistle, extremely inconsistent with the mode of writing used by the Duke of WEL LINGTON ; and we venture to say his Grace is of opinion,—as he said on a former occasion of Lord BERESFORD,—" that this correspondence has been, at least, extremely indiscreet." It is to be observed, that the object of the let ter was principally, if not entirely, to satisfy Sir JOHN MALCOLM " that the Government had no intention of deserting him," and to encou rage him to continue in the post he had so long filled with so much ability, notwithstanding the late galling decisions of the Supreme Court of Bombay. The intimation, "We may not im possibly renew the Charter next year," seems to have been intended rather for extra-official circulation in India, than as any authoritative communication of the fact of the intention. Until the Government had come to a determi nation, every Cabinet Minister would naturally say off-hand, that the Charter was to be re newed, just as the Duke of WELLINGTON told Dr. CURTIS that the Cabinet did not intend to propose any measure for the relief of the Ca tholics, at the time when circumstances did not permit such a measure to be spoken of as having been resolved upon. The judicial conduct of Sir CHARLES CHAMBERS and Sir JOHN GRANT was as ho nourable to the independence of those Judges as it was important to the administration of jus tice in India. They might have erred in deciding on the extent of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, as the Privy Council afterwards deter mined ; but they decided according to their oaths, without favour or affection, and founded their judgment upon reasons which, until they were reversed by the Privy Council, appeared to impartial persons satisfactory. The tone in which the President of the Board of Controul speaks of the Judges, and his eagerness to exalt the Governor in public estima tion at their expense, are very much to be regretted, on account of the impression such sentiments must naturally convey, that the Bri tish Government seeks to interfere with the im partial administration of the law. We cannot say less than that Lord ELLENBOROUGH has written very unadvisedly, and if it were not that we are sure his colleagues must think the same, we should be disposed to add a great deal more on his Lordship's very singular performance. On the whole, however, there is nothing in the letter calculated to dishearten the commercial classes in their efforts to procure admission to the Indian markets. It amounts to little, to say the Charter will be renewed, unless it is added on wid terms it will be renewed. The Eng lish provincial associations do not seek to dis- turb the revenues of the Company, or to sub stitute themselves as territorial Sovereigns, in stead of the 'Majesty of Leadenhall• street ; but they desire to be allowed to settle in his MA JESTY'S Eastern dominions—to purchase lands there--and to exercise that industry which will equally promote the happiness of the natives and of the settlers ; and they demand the extinguish ment of that odious restriction which makes China a forbidden ground to British enterprise. The increasing numbers and importance of' these associations, bid fair to give some occupation to Parliament, and to inspire the Government with some little respect for the opinions of the many respectable, opulent, and sensible individuals, who are associated in the cause of free trade and intercourse. We trust Lord ELLENBOROUGH has, by this time, perceived that such asso ciations are not of the kind that can be lightly treated, or superciliously regarded. An interesting account will be found in ano ther column of the reception given by the SULTAN tO Count ORLOFF. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) PROM LLOYD'S.

HAVANNAH, DEC. 12.—A1l vessels clearing after the Ist Jan. next, with full cargoes of molasses, will be enti titled to a drawback of two dollars per ton of the tonnage money ; there will be no export duty collected on molasses after that time, and vessels are permitted to load at any of the out ports by coming back here to clear. Accounts from Buenos Ayres of the 28th October state, that the news from the interior provinces still breathe war. It is stated that a reaction had taken place near Mendoza— that the federal party had succeeded in entering the city, aad obliged the Governor (lately appointed) to capitulate. Several lives had been lost. Quebec Papers to the 24th of December, and Port-au- Prince Papers to the 30th of November, have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.— The former state, from the Aliramichi Papers, that the timber at several of the most extensive points on the River and Gulph of St. Lawrence, will be in great supply in the spring. The Pert-au-Prince Papers do nut contain any news. THE FUNDS Consols left off yesterday afternoon very heavy at 92 for the account, and opened this morning at 92k to 93 fur the account; since which they have been done at 93, and at present are 921 i. This decline is attributed by some of the Morning Journals to the determination of the Bank Direc tors yesterday not to interfere with the Ministers in the reduction of the Four per Cents. All that we can state on this subject is, that no person is as yet acquainted with the intentions of Ministers on that subject. Ministers will act according to the price of Consols, when the period arrives fur their financial operations. Money is so abundant at present, that persons who have sold out their stock have no employment for it, conse quently they are watching the market to get into stock again.

Don Miguel pro ceeded there in person; According to the French Papers, it appears that a duel took place between the two Editors of the National and Drapeau Blanc, on Sunday last. The Editor of the Drapeau Blanc was slightly wounded. Accounts from Madrid, speak of a loam going to he contracted with a house at Paris, for the use of the ex pedition. It ie said that the Consuls at the various places are to be suppressed, and that the Secretaries of the differ ent Ambassadors are to supply their places. This day and to-morrow being a holiday at the Bank, the Bears have rallied and taken the field again, as no money transfers can take place during the above days, in consequence of which the Bulls are acting on the defensive waiting for the opening of the Money Market; and Consols have been 92} for the Account, during the morning, alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing. It is again reported with some confidence that the Four per Cents, will be reduced when Ministers approved of the price of the Funds. We also hear that there is something going forward for the payment of the Portuguese dividends ; but on this subject we cannot as yet state any thing positive. In the Foreign Market Portuguese Bonds have im proved, but Colombian Stock has lowered, owing to the unfavourable accounts from that quarter. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for Account, 92k.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, which his Honour stated was a bill filed by two persons of the name of Lewis, against Sir Samuel Young, praying that he might be compelled to come to an account with a per son of the name of Stevens, one of the plaintiffs, for the value of certain tithes, and that he might also be decreed to pay to Stevens what might be due to the Lewis's for those tithes. By the bill it appeared that the Lewis's had been entitled up and prior to May, 1815, to the tithes of corn, hay, grain, and grass, in the lower division of the parish of Cookham, in the county of Berks. By an indenture they demised their interest in those tithes to Stevens, un der the description of all the parcels of tithes of corn, grain, hay, &c. &c. appertaining, or in any wise belonging to the parsonage of Canon, in the pariah of Cookham, in the county of Berks. Sir Samuel Young, who occupied a farm in the parish of Cookham, had pro ceeded to take off his lands the clover, grass, and vetches, without accounting for the tithes of them, which the plaintiffs contended Stevens was entitled to have, and filed their bill for the purpose of enforcing them. Sir Samuel Young put in a plea to that bill, by which he pleaded that the plaintiffs were not entitled to any tithes, except such as appertained or belonged to the parsonage of Canon ; that it was an impropriate rectory, and, as such, was not entitled to tithes for clover or other grass, taken away while wet. The plaintiffs, instead of having the plea set down for argument, took issue upon the facts stated in that plea; the defend ant entered into evidence to prove the truth of his plea ; and to show that the Vicar was not entitled to the tithes mentioned therein. That evidence his Honour considered had not been contradicted by any evidence brought for ward on the part of the plaintiffs, who also contended that they were entitled at least to have an issue. In a case where a rector files a bill, and the occupier slakes out a case of modus, or any other case that would go to defeat the rector's common law right, an issue was a matter of course. In this case, however, the Court did not think the parties stood in that situation in which the Court was in the habit of granting the issues. The real question was, aye or no. Were the facts averred upon the pletimade out ? The plaintiff, upon his own chewing, was a mere portioner, therefore, upon the whole, his Honour was of opinion, that the party stated in the plea were sufficiently made out, and the only cause the Court could take, would be to dismiss the present bill with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. FISHER V. CLEMENT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, against the defendant, as publisher and proprietor of Bell's Life in London, for a libel which appeared in that paper in the form of some doggrel verses, purporting to be a dialogue between HarrietteWilsen and her publisher, Stock dale. The action was originally tried in the Court of Common Pleas, before Lord Wynford, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff with 501. damages. Mr. Clement brought a writ of error, and removed the ease into the Court of King's Bench, when, after a long argument, the verdict obtained in the Common Pleas was set aside, and a new trial granted. The second trial took place in the King's Bench, and a verdict was then returned for the defendant. _ _ Mr. CAMPBZLL last term obtained a rule to show cause why this second verdict should not be set aside, and an other trial had. The ArrosamY-Gawita.Ar. this day showed cause against the rule, and contended, at very great length, that the verses complained of, and on which the action was found ed, were, to all intents and purposes, calculated, and evi dently meant to ridicule Harriette Wilson, and Stockdale, her publisher. Besides (said the Learned Counsel), any observations purporting to come from Harriette, were not likely to injure the reputation of any indi vidual; her tongue was no scandal; and never conld it injure any one she chose to introduce into her lu cubrations. He (the Attorney-General) would there fore repeat what he stated on the outset, that the whole gist of the publication was evidently for the pur pose of ridiculing Harriette and her publisher, and never was intended to bring the plaintiff into contempt, or to hurt his feelings. The rule ought, therefore, to be dis charged. Mr. Caafrazi.r., in support of the rule, contended that it did not signify what was the intention of the defendant; the real question was, did or did not the publication tend to hurt the plaintiff's feelings and bring him into ridicule ; he thought it did ; and, as his character had been assailed, he was entitled to redress. He trusted the Court would make the rule absolute. _ _ Lord TENTICRDEN said he did not leave it to the jury as to the intention of the defendant, but as to the effects of his publication, and they were the proper judges of that question. He was satisfied with the verdict as it now stood, and thought the rule for a new trial ought to be discharged. The other Judges concurring, the rule was discharged. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE CORPORATION OF STAMFORD V. PAWLITT. The above case came on to be tried in this Court at . the Sittings after last Term. The action was brought for the recovery of some toll, which the defendant resisted at the last May fair, and the fair immediately following. The question wag then tried, as to whether the Corpora tion had a legal right to charge toll, and the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, but the Chief Baron had then given Mr. Serjeant Denman liberty to move to set aside the verdict, if he thought he had sufficient ground for doing sn. Mr. Serjeant DEPHAN now moved to show cause %via,' that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the grounds that the demand for toll was quite legal, and that the defendant had every right to dispute it. - He contended that the fairs held the;e six times a-year were completely free from such toll. The plaintiffs pro duced on the trial the Charter of Queen Anne, which they argued had completely established their right. Now he contended that that Charter did not give them power to demand any toll whatever. In support of his argument the Learned Serjeant repeated the sentiments of Lord Coke on the subject, and also cited many other authorities to support his argument. In the course of a speech of some length, the Learned Serjeant read the Charter of Queen Anne, which appeared to establish his view of the case. The COURT directed him to take a rule to show (sine. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. GEORGE V. .7.41.CK50X. Mr. Serjeant CROSS moved to show cause against the rule, why the attorney should not reduce the amount of coats after they had been taxed by the prothonotary. The charge disputed was that for the attorney's expences up to London to attend a trial for the defendant, to which he ob • jetted on these grounds. The defendant states in his affi davit that the amount charged for his expenses to London was 63/. lie., but it was not exactly to the amount he objected ; he states that it ought not to be allowed under the circumstances. The cause was expected to have come on in November, 1828, but the attorney did not then attend, and it was ordered to stand ever ; when it came on to be heard the plaintiff was nonsuited. The costs of the attorney were taxed. The defendant further states, that at the time his daughter was obliged to come up to London as a witness on the trial, his attorney re peatedly inquired of him, whether he (the defendant) wished him to attend the trial. In answer to which, he always said to the attorney that there was no occasion for him to attend the trial, as he (the defendant) intended to leave it all to be conducted by his agent in London. The attorney did not attend on the first occasion, and the de fendant, himself, strongly objected to his attendance when the trial did come on. He stated that the attorney then said he was going up to London in a friend's carriage, and that the defendant should not be put to any expense as to that journey. ln answer to this, the attorney stated that he would not have proceeded to London to attend the trial were it not for the repeated solicitations of the defendant to attend, and that be received 201. from the defendant on his departure, and 101. when in London. He further stated that he would nut think of the journey, unless he were provided with a sufficient sum to defray his expenses, after which he immediately received the above sum for that purpose ; he completely denies having heard the defendant say that his agent would conduct the case. (Here the affidavits of two other persons were read, which corroborated the de fendant's statement in declining the service of the attorney.) The Learned Setjeant concluded by saying that he trusted the Court would discharge the rule with costs. Mr. Serjeant WILDE, on the other side, contended that the attorney had denied altogether the truth of the state ment made by the defendant. After the costs had been taxed by the prothonotary, the defendant objected to the sum for the attorney's expenses; but the prothonotary said he could not receive his affidavit of the defendant, be cause he had allowed the costs which were disputed ; he (Serjeant Wilde), therefore, wished it to go back to the pro thonotary, as it was not a question to be decided by this Court. He submitted that the: prothonotary ought to enter into this question, and that he alone was entitled to dacide it. The COURT immediately discharged the rule, with costs. THE MARKETS.-(T HIS DAY).
