SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A petition was presented last night, by Mr. Hume; from the owners and occupiers of land, and other inhabitants of Rochester and its neighbour hood, praying for an abolition of the tithe tax. The petitioners represent " the great relief that would he afforded by the abolition of tithes, a tax which, by drawing so large a share of the gross produce of the land, is alike injurious to the community in ge neral, to the agriculturists in particular, and to the best interests of religion ;—to the community, by unavoidably increasing the price of articles of most general and necessary consumption—to the agricul ttnists, by subjecting them to vexatious restrictions in tile cultivation of land, and by depriving them of the ability to compete with the foreign grower, or to contend against the importation of grain, which it is the present policy of this country to encourage —and to religion, by proving a fruitful source of discord between the clergyman and hisparishioners." In the early stages of civilization, both lay and cle rical functionaries were paid in agricultural produce. In most eastern countries to this day, the revenue of the Sovereign consists in a certain share of the produce of the soiL In Turkey, for instance, tluk Sovereign receives a tenth, or tithe. As early as the second century the fathers of the church exhorted the Christians to pay the tenth after the example of the Jews. But as is known to all who are in the least versed in history, the Clergy were merely the stewards of the several Christian communities. So generally was the cus tom established of paying tithes to the Church in the seventh century that, at the Council of Nantes in 658, it was merely deemed necessary to regulate the distribution of the tithes and oblations, which are declared to be not their own, but entrusted to them for the maintenance of the poor, and for hos pitality :—" Instruendi sunt presbyteri, partterque admonendi ; quatenus noverint decimas et oblationes quas a fidelibus accipiunt, pauperum et hospitum et peregrinorum esse stipendia, et non quasi suis, sed quasi commendatis uti, de quibus omnikis sciant se rationem posituros in conspectu Dei, et nisi eas fide ,liter paoperibus, et his qui piwrnissi sunt administra verint, damna passuros." Then follows the well knoWn distribution into four parts. A series of ca pitularies made it obligatory on every man to pay tithe. Thus, for instance, in 761, Pepin enacted in a - General Constitution, " ut unusquisque homo, knt vellet, aut !toilet, suam decimam donet." A more judicious mode of paying the Clergy could not have been devised ; indeed no other mode could have been devised. Neither was a tenth of the gross produce too much for the keeping up the churches, supporting the poor, maintaining the Presbyter and his assistants, and supporting the 12ishop. But to say that the tenth part of the gross produce of the soil should for ever he paid to the Clergy isso monstrous a proposition,that the man who maintains it must have a triple share of brass. Only think of one-tenth of the whole produce of the soil given to ten thousand individuals ! It is true that about a third of the great tithes are im propriated. But the vicarage tithes, in consequence of the turnip husbandry and other improvements in agriculture, are often more valuable than the par soniige. Will any person however say that if Henry VIII. had not spoiled the church, the clergy would have been allowed at this day to receive the whole of the tithe ? Sir R. Inglis must receive a new brief; for the description which he gave of titheable property, that the purchaser of it buys only tiine•trnths of the soil, involves the trifling mistake, that the tithe in some cases amounts to more than tie landlord's share. Even at the settlement he €ween•the Scotch tithe holders and owners of the soil, the tithe was taken at one-fifth of the rent. But this was a proportion favourable to landowners. gi In HaMpshire (said Mr. Baring) the tithe upon corn - lands amounted generally to one-third or one fourth ;; and most of the occupiers of the soil would be glad to compound for one-fourth. Human wit could not have devised a mode of payment more inconvenient or offensive than that in which re ligion was paid for in this country." It is, pci l hav, for the interest of the church, to Bare this question settled once for all, to pre vent the clergy being looked on as oppressors of the people—as adding a heavy burden to burdens already almost insupportable. A fixed proportion of the rent made a perpetual rent-charge might be ob jectionable, in so far as it would give too much to the spiritual guides, if we wish them to discharge their duty properly; but it would not operate as a tax on the people generally, and would be merely a rent tax. There is at present a strong determina tion throughout the country to compel a settlement once for all of the tithe question. The great body of landowners and agriculturiats in general all con tend that an klitrration is necessary, and it will not be easy to resist thorn. Of course no one thinks of any invasion of private property. In any arrange ment impropriators and the owners of advowsons rnu-t have a fair compensation. But as to the rest, ail parties will gain by a different distribution.— Morning Chronicle. Ministers meted with much prudence in their op position to the motion of Sir John Newport, on the subject of the peccadillos of the Irish church. The less that is said, where the case is of so flagrant a na ture,. the better it is for the offenders. What was said by Lord L. Gower had the merit, too, of be ing utterly unintelligible; for revising the valuation of the first fruits might take money from the Clergy, but how, in God's name, is taxing the Clergy tax ing the people ?—..illorning Chronicle. In our columns to-day will be found an abridged report of a meeting of the Political Union, held at Birmingham on Monday, which appears to have produced great excitement, and to have been most numerously attended. The pressure of other mat ter prevents us from giving, at present, the report of the Council of the Soeiety, a nd their declaration on the Marquis of Blendford's Bill. We have only room here to state that, in contradiction to the Lon don Radical Reformers, they unanimously resolve that the Bill of Reform proposed to the House of Commons by his Lordship is admirably calculated to accomplish its great object!---that of restoring the constitutional influence of tba Commons in the sPartiamerit of England. This Bill, which they tleclaiv eight to be made the rallying point Of reform, it wiii be recollected, embraces not the principles of universal suffrage, vote by ballot, or annual Parlianzents—so far in deed are the members of this Society from ap preying of those doctrines, that they describe them as novelties not known to the Constitution, and cal. culated to w-ealien the cause of reform, by mixing tip disputable questions of political improvement with ancient undeniable and constitutional rights, end creating divisions in the typer and middle classes of the cosnmunity, without producing any additional zeal among the lower classes, or any other equivalent. whatever ! Will Sir Francis Burdett now come . forward, to defend his once•faveurite theories ? or will he leave Mr. Attwood undisputed master of a field of reform on which his principles are treatedqssith as little respect as he treated the practice's of boroughniongers?-Morning Herald. We publish to-day a correspondence—perhaps the most singular in which a Bishop ever bore a part--between the present Bishop of London and the Rev. Theodore Williams, vicar of Hendon. We shall lea the correspondence itself to expiain the subject; suffice it here to say, that the Bishop • starts in such a passion, that he directs a letter, meant for. the Rev s 'l'. Williams, to the Rev, T. Wilberforce, who is, we believe, not reverend at all, but the very person whose conduct is chiefly the subject of complaint on the part of Mr. Williams. A correspondence thus beginning may be supposed to terminate with extreme fttry, and accordingly it ends with the application, by the Bishop, of the terms " falsehood !" " gross falsehood 1" to a re spectable clergyman in the dieeesS . : The Duke of "Wellington is a gentletnan, and be knows the way in which getltlemen should be . addressed by their superiors in the artificial ranks of society, or grades a a profession ;—and here we ledve this matter. On the part of Mr. Wilberforce the affair is wholly ridiculous. This gentleman, we understand, is a great cowkeeper in the parish of Hendon, in the county of Middlesex; and smit with the love of his trade, or incited by the hope of greater gain, what does he do but attempt to milk Mother Church, and for fear she should kick down his milk pail (which is in the shape of a proprietary chapel) tud spill the contents, be applies to one of her own keepers to tie her legs for him. THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BISHOP OP LONDON AND THE REV. THEODORE WILLIAMS, IN REFERENCE TO THE CHAPEL NOW BEING BUILT BY MR. WILBER- FORCE AT MILL-HILL. " London-house, May 22, 1829. " Rev. Sir,—A copy of a notice, which you state is to be your intention to have published in church next Sun day, has just been put into my hands. " It is so indecent and improper, that I have no hesita tion in prohibiting its publication, which would subject you to ecclesiastical censures. Mr. Wilberforce, lam persuaded, be ready to consider calmly all objections to his plan. I will ascertain, in the course of a day or two, the effect of a district as to pews and repairs, which, I believe, you have misunderstood. " I am, Sir, your faithful servant, " Rev. T. Wilberforce." " C. J. LONDON." Mr. Williams having, in mere courtesy and candour to Mr. Wilberforce, enclosed to him a copy of a notice which it was in contemplation to publish, this gentleman, with no very honourable intention, and without the least in timation to Mr. Williams, immediately conveyed it to the Bishop of London; who, presuming upon an authority which he does not possess, addressed Mr. Williams in this intemperate and unprovoked manner. The letter is evi dently written without the least consideration, as it is directed to the Rev. T. Wilberforce, instead of the Rev. 'l. Williams. And the notice, which the Bishop is pleased to term indecent and improper, and which, in his opinion, was to call down ecclesiastical censures, is printed on page 16 of Mr. Williams's Address to the Inhabitants of Hendon, and is this :—" Mr. Wilberforce having, without the least intimation to the vicar or the inhabi tants, applied to the Church Commissioners for a district to be attached to his proposed chapel; and the effect of such an application, if granted, being to preclude all those who may be contained in that district from a right to a seat in their parish church, as well as to subject them to the future repairs of the said chapel, a special vestry will he held on —, to take into consideration in what man ner so injurious a proceeding to the interests of religion, to the parish at large, and to private property, should at once be met." We confidently leave it with the reader to determine which is the more indecent and improper, and which is the mere worthy of ecclesiastical censures, the Bishop's letter, or Mr. Williams's copy of notice. ANSWER. " flendon Vicarage, Saturday Morning. " My Lord,—Those who are in the constant habit of witnessing my attention to every particular connected with my church, will, I am sure, prove that I am inca pable of actin indecently in so sacred a place. " As my diocesan, I should certainly (if the notice had been mine) have attended to your prohibition ; though I would, with every deference, submit whether it could have subjected me to ecclesiastical censure. " But it was yesterday determined in the parish, that the notice to be given on Sunday next should simply be— ' to fix on an early day, by spec ial notice, for a meeting to take into consideration Mr. Wilberforce's application to the church commissioners :' a copy of which special notice I will immediately forward to London-house. " I have read the several Acts with great attention, and shall be most happy to find that I have misunderstood them. " Your Lordship's obedient servant, " THEO. WILLIAMS." Mr. Wilberforce must have been fully aware that the form of notice had not been determined when he so dis ingenuously applied to the Bishop of London ; and as the promise of a district had at this time been actually givim to Mr. Wilberforce, the Bishop ought to have known that Mr. Williams had not misunderstood the effect of a district. " Hendon Vicarage, June 20, 1829. " My Lord Bishop,--May I take the liberty of asking, whether, in the event of my building a chapel at Mill hill, consisting almost wholly of free seats, you will con secrate it ? After all that has transpired, I cannot but be anxious to obtain this information previous to incurring so heavy an expense ; and as, with the existing population of Mill-hill, there can be no plea nor pretence for a dis trict, I propose to make it a parochial chapel, to be served through the incumbent of the mother-church, in such a manner and with such a stipend as you may think proper to direct. " I am, my Lord Bishop, your humble servant, "THEO. WILLIAMS, " P.S. As I have been presented with a most desirable piece of ground for the purpose, and as the season is fast advancing, I trust I shall be forgiven while requesting an early reply. " The Lord Bishop of London." As soon as Mr. Wilberforce commenced drawing bricks to the ground on which he is now building his chapel, and before the building had been in any way begun, Mr. Williams gave him notice, under the advice, and in a form prepared by Mr. Patteson, that he should oppose, by every legal means, his unjustifiable proceedings. In consequence, it is supposed, of this notice, and of the Commissioners having ascertained that they had been as suming powers which the Legislature had not vested in them, the Bishop of London recommended Mr. Wilber force not to proceed with his building ; and that recom mendation was adopted. But the moment Mr. Williams offered, as above, to build a parochial chapel, and under such restrictions as would preclude all objections, did not the Bishop of London again write to Mr. Wilberforce, and, though the best part of the season had gone by, ad vise him to forthwith prosecute his intention of building a chapel ? The object in this advice is too evident to re quire comment And it is asked—Did the Bishop of Lon don ever acquaint the Board of Commissioners with Mr. Williams's offer ? It is believed that he did not. ANSWER. "Fulham, June 22, 1829.. " Rev. Sir,—His Majesty's Commissioners for Build ing additional Churches and Chapels having consented to vest in Mr. Wilberforce the perpetual right of nomination to a chapel, intended to be erected by him in the parish of Hendon, and a question having arisen touching the powers of the said Commissioners in that respect, I cannot return a definitive answer to the inquiry contained in your letter of the 20th instant till that question has been de cided. But I may say, generally, that I conceive both the Commissioners and myself bound, after what has passed, to afford Mr. Wilberforce every facility for the completion of his design. " I am, Rev. Sir, your faithful servant, " Rey. Theo. Williams." " C. J. LONDON." Because Mr. Wilberforce (and in the grossest violation of all good faith) intended to build a proprietary chapel at Mill-hill, the incumbent and patron of the living is to be thus indirectly prevented from building a parochial chapel, and because the Bishop of London is pleased to make an illegal and improper promise, yet, for the sake of his pro mise, and of those who sat with him, he feels himself bound to afford Mr. Wilberforce every facility for the com pletion of his design. " According to my honour and my conscience, " I cannot break my word." _ _ Mr. Williams, urging upon the Bishop of London the injustice of the commissioners attempting to enforce a dis trict, not only against the wish of the patron and incum bent of the living, but of the parishioners at large, who had, by unanimous vote of vestry, declared such a measure inexpedient, was told in reply, that the vestry were afraid to act otherwise, lest he .should be obnoxious to them in the collecting their tithes, &c. This unguarded assertion induced thefollowing letter : ..- 40 Hendon Vicarage, Aug. 29, 1829. " My Lord Bishop,—You yesterday thought proper to state to me, that the opinion of vestry, which was for warded to the commissioners , had been elicited under im proper influence, and that the persons expressing that opi nion, acid supporting that resolution, were afraid to act otherwise, lest I should be obnoxious to them in the col lecting their tithes. " A compromise of principle or opinion, from worldly fear, or from worldly advantages (though the channel througli which so many rise), is despicable conduct indeed. In common justice, therefore, to myself, and to the highly respectable parties upon whom so unjust and unworthy a reflect:on has been cast, I would respectfully ask of your Lordship the author of this wicked untruth ? " The parish will ; I am sure, meet it as it ought to be met, and your Lordship's moral sensibility will at once in, duce you to give the information, " I am, my Lord Bishop, your bumble servant, " THEO. WILLIAMS." " The Lord Bishop of London." That there rnig4t he no mistake, nor misunderstanding on this occasion, Mr. Williams, immediately o n leaving the. house of the Bishop of London, went in to an almost adjoining shop, and put down upon paper the subject•mat trr of the conversation, which bad just taken place be tween the Bishop and himself; and on returning to Hen don wrote the above letter. _ yV It were absurd to suppose that Mr. Williams couhl have invented such matter ; and has not the Bishop of London expressed himself to the same effect on other occasions? He knows he has: and yet what is his answer? ANSWER. " Fulham, August 31, 1829. " Rev. Sir,—ln answer to your note of the 29th in stant, which has just reached me, I have only to state, that you quite misunderstood me if you supposed me to make any such assertion as that which you have been pleased to attribute to me. " I am, Rev. Sir, your faithful servant, " Rev. Th. Williams." " C. J. LONDON." It having been stated by Mr. W. Wilberforce, at a pub lic meeting, that he had been promised by the commis sioners a copy of the opinion which they were about to take from the Attorney and Solicitor-General, Mr. Wil liams was advised to request the same favour. Having made this request, lie received in reply the following letter —a letter which, at least, proves that the Bishop is occa sionally incorrect in his statements; for it is an undoubted fact that copies of the opinion had been given away, and one of them, as we are informed and believe, by the Bi shop himself. " Fulham, Nov. 11, 1829. " Dear Sir,—Mr. Jelf informs me that Mr. Wilberforce has not had a copy of the opinion referred to in your let ter. I imagine that he has only the substance of that opinion, as to the difficulty of assigning districts under the 7th and 9th George IV. " The commissioners do not think it right to give copies of opinions, which are obtained for their own guidance. " I am, dear Sir, your faithful servant, "Rev. T. Williams. " C. J. LONDON." On February the 17th, Mr. Williams sent to the Bishop of London two copies of his Address to the In habitants of Hendon, nor did he receive any reply what ever in referencelb their contents. On March the 12th, Mr. Williams called on the Bishop respecting the Marriage Validity Bill, which was then passing through the House of Lords. He had scarcely spoken to the Bishop on the subject, before he was told in the most abrupt and offen sive manner, that he had stated a falsehood in his Ad dress, 6-c. Mr. Williams replied, if the Bishop would inform him to what statement he alluded, he no doubt should be able to exculpate himself from such a charge.— The Bishop hastily answered—" To that in which he was said to have informed Mr. Williams that Mr. W. Wilber force had complained to him of a neglect of duty," &c.— Mr. Williams immediately recalling to the Bishop's re membrance not only the day on which the information was given, but other and peculiar circumstances which were connected with this information, and which pre cluded the possibility of a mistake, was again told by the Bishop, in extreme irritation, it was a gross falsehood.— Mr. Williams, feeling that he could not continue to listen to such degrading and unworthy language, left the Bishop; and, after communicating with some professional friends, wrote to him in these words : " March 12, 1830. " My Lord Bishop,—After the unwarrantable and indecent terms, gross falsehood,' used by you this morn ing, I feel, in cnmmon justice to myself; I ought imme diately to make public all that has transpired between us, from your first intemperate letter, and your subsequent conduct repecting the ordination of my curate, to the pre sent time. " As a clergyman, and awfully responsible to my God for my words, Ido most solemnly and sacredly assert, that you did inform me that Mr. W. Wilberforce had com plained to you of •my neglect of duty, &c. And I can only regret, with too many others of your diocess, that, from the hasty manner in which you are in the habit of ex pressing yourself, you should be so continually forgetting what has fallen from your lips. " I am, my Lord Bishop, your bumble servant, . . -" THEO. WILLIAMS. " The Lord Bishop of London." For what purpose, except to prevent Mr. Williams from placing a curate at Mill-hill, and to further the design of Mr. Wilberforce, did the Bishop of London refuse to or dain a gentleman of character, of talent. and connexion, unless he withdrew his name as a subscriber to a brlnch school of the British and Foreign School Society ? What will the world say of such an act of mental tyranny? And what will they say when they are told that the individual who in these times had dared to exercise it, has since (with his usual consistency, and after having been told that the circumstance would be brought before Par liament) himself become a benefactor to the same society? And with ref .1 ewe to the indecent and unjustifiable language used by the Bishop to Mr. Williams, we can only remark, with unfeigned regret, that no excuse can be given for it, but _ _ - - " He bath been rash from his youth upwards." And again, as to what Mr. Williams so solemnly asserts that the Bishop told him, if it had not been the case, it is impossible to suppose that Mr. Williams could have been (we will not say so unprincipled, but) so blind to his own interests, as to malvt a statement which the Bishop could have immediately contradicted, but which he did not, and to send the paper containing the statement to the Bishop himself. That Mr. W. Wilberforce and his nearest rela- tiveshave been circulating such wicked reports in other quarters, equally injurious to Mr. Williams, will soon he made public, in a manner which will not admit of con tradiction. That the Bishop of London might be aware of the manner in which Mr. Williams intended to give publicity to what had taken place, a copy of the above correspondence, &c., previous to publication, was sent to the Bishop, with this accompaniment : If Hendon Vicarage, April 20, 1830. " My Lord BL.L have taken the liberty of en closing to you a copy of the correspondence, &c., which I a.n about to publish. I sincerely regret that there should be any occasion fur such a step, not only from the many years which I have known you, but from the respect which I feel for the high and responsible offiee in which you are placed. The language, however, which you have thought proper to use, leaves me no alternative—language which I am sore you must have regretted, and which you must be conscious I have not deserved.—l am, my Lord Bishop ; your humble servant, (Times.) " THEO. WILLIAMS." • It appears from last night's proceedings in the House of Commons, that the odious law of banish ment for libel is to be erased from a statute-book which it ought never to have polluted. Lord Mor peth having given notice of a Bill for the repeal of the law in question, the Attorney- General announced his own intention of introducing a similar measure, to which Lord Morpeth at once gave place. It is, however, a pity that the Attorney-General should hang a rider upon his humane and liberal Bill of a nature to bring into unmerited disrepute his mo tives for so much of the proposed law as will have in view the relief of the subject from oppression. A guarantee of 1001. is but a paltry security for good conduct. Those who are at once able and willing to make themselves formidable by attacks upon their neighbours, will indulge the fancy at a larger sacri fice than that of 1001., while there is something un gracious and irritating in the preliminary demand of such a safeguard against libel, which is not in keep ing with the general relation between the Govern ment of England and its subjects. There is assur edly law enough in the country to repress libel as the law already stands; for it is clear the man who proves himself unable to pay in money the sum of 1001., will be unable to resist an execution, under which the whole materiel of his business must fall into possession of the adverse party. We would ad vise the Attorney-General to do the thing hand somely, and levy no fine by anticipation upon fel low-subjects as yet innocent of transgressing.-Times. It will be seen from the proceedings of the House of Commons last night, that the Attorney- General announced his intention of bringing in a Bill for repealing that part of the law of libel which subjects the editors, printers, and publishers of newspapers to banishment, upon a second convic tion for libel. This is so f ar goo d, though only a ; but it would Lave been more Government to have brought for iii:maerdpdilleabthaelee tmo to the s e f jurasueicoefits own accord, instead of be ing forced into it by a motion from the Opposition side of the House. This measure is also to be accompanied by a demand of an additional hun dred pounds of security against the commission of libels, from the proprietors of all newspapers which may be commenced after the passing of the intended 13i11; and to this clause we see no other objection except that it is not mutual be tween plaintiff arid defendant—that it demands se curity for the result of an action for libel from the proprietors of newspapers, b ut l eaves t h e l atter un protected against vagabond pettifogging attorney frivolous and vexatious actions, An insolvebt may bring an action for libel, and put the proprie tors of newspapers to an expense of several hundred pounds in defending it; but if he should happen to be nonsuited, there is no mode by which the suc cessful defendant can reimburse himself for the ex pense so unjustly incurred. Now we contend, that as security is demanded from the proprietors of newspapers against the commission, or for payment of the expenses of a successful prosecution, the pro secutor ought also to lodge security for the indem nification of the defendant, prior to commencing his action. This would be but fair, and if Sir James Scarlett means well to the press, he will make it a point to insert some such clause in the intended Bill. —Morning Advertiser.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL commenced his observations by declaring, that when upon a former occasion he had opened the facts of this case to his Honour, he had opened it in as mild and temperate a manner as was consistent with his duty to his client. He was therefore surprised at hearing the accusation that had just been preferred against him by the Learned Serjeant, that he had dealt in slanders and libels upon his character, and that after professing that he had no intention to wound his feelings, he (the Soli citor-General) had delivered such an opening speech against him (Mr. Serjeant Wilde) as had never before been made by man. He regretted that the Learned Serjeant had had recourse to such a statement, because no advocate who had to deal with a cause in which another advocate was per sonally and not professionally engaged, c uld hope to have justice fairly dispensed to his client, if he paid any atten tion to the subject matter of such a complaint. The Court had seen what his conduct had been to the Learned Serjeant, and would judge whether he had not performed the painful task allotted to him with zeal to his client, and with the most perfect good feeling to Mr. Serjeant Wilde. He could assure the Court, that if in any respect he had departed from that line, it had been his misfor tune rather than his fault. He had no intention to wound the feelings of the Learned Serjeant ; but at the same time there were remarks which it was only due to his client that he should make, and which, if he had not made, would have drawn upon his head not only the disappro bation of the Lea . rned Serjeant, but of every Member of the Bar who then heard him. With these observations he should leave the personal parts of this case, and should apply himself forthwith to its real merits. The Solicitor- General then proceeded to detail the circumstances of this case, as reported in our Journal of May 13, contending, in the first place, that the conveyance to Drayton of Jen kins's reversion in 1807 was wholly inoperative, as he was then in possession of the property in fee, and not in r e version ; in the second place, that the conveyance in 1816 was not a confismation of the title granted in 1807, but a totally new contract; and, in the last place, that this contract should be set aside on the ground of Jenkins's incarepetency, and the inadequate consideration paid for it. He stated it to be solemnly and sincerely his belief that Mr. Serjeant Wilde had him self behaved most disinterestedly towards Griffith Jenkins, though them were unfortunately some circumstances in his conduct which must, beyond all question, vitiate these conveyances. For instance, the Learned Serjeant, who was a joint purchaser of Jenkins's interest, had acted as Jenkins's attorney, and had subscribed his name as a witness to the conveyance which consigned Jenkins's interest to Drayton. It appeared also, that at the time when Jenkins wrote the letter expressive of the gratitude which he felt towards Mr. Serjeant Wilde, he did not know that that gentleman was a purchaser of his property. In conclusion, the Solicitor-General protested that he had not intended to say any thing that could wound Mr. Ser jeant Wilde's feelings, and that if he had used any exprrs sion which had produced that effect, it must have escaped him unknowingly in his zeal to protect his client's interests. At the conclusion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL'S speech, The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked him what specific relief he proposed to ask for as Against Mr. Serjeant The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that what he asked for was the conveyance of Jenkins's estate to his client, costa against all peak.., as well against Mr. Serjeant Wilde as the rest, with the exception of one party, whose costs must be paid by the plaintiff, as she had made him a party to the suit, and an account of all the tents and profits re ceived since the first conveyance. The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked whether it was proved that Mr. Serjeant Wilde had received any part of the rents and profits. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that he did not know that it was so proved. That was, however, nothing to the matter. It had been proved that Mr. gerjeant Wilde had been in possession of the estate, and therefore the plaintiff must have an account of the rents and profits from him. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that he would give judg ment on Monday; he had already looked over many of the papers, hut he should like to look over them again before he gave his decision. The Court, which had been crowded to suffocation dur ing the day, rose at half-past five o'clock. We were in formed that, at the termination of the discussion, tl,e Solicitor-General and Mr. Serjeant Wilde shook each other by the hand. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS.

Hors.-Hops are about 10s. per cwt. higher, on ac count of the general appearance of the fly on the young plants. SUGAR.-There is not much business doing this morn ing in British Plantation Supra, nor indeed can the de mand be materially increased while such large quantities of Mauritius Sugars ar•e pressed into the Market : this afternoon upwards of 16,000 bags are announced for sale. The current prices of Plantation Sugars are-Brown Jamaica, St. Mitt's, &c. good 51s. to 535. ; ordinary 48s. to 50s. ; middling 565, to 61s. ; good 635. to 655.; and fine from 665. to 68s. per cwt.

Runt.-The delivery from the 'West India Docks last week were nearly 500 puncheons; and the Stock yesterday was about 16,000 puns., and 1,700 birds. The prices are less firm. There is a pretty good demand for SALa'PETRE at the Company's sale prices. The Spice market remains steady. The commercial letters from St. Petersburgh, of the R d inst., state that the navigation was becoming daily more clear. The Exchange on London was at 10 31-32.- Tallow had improved to 95 rubles. The demand for Spring shipment having much increased, and since last post 1,500 casks had been purchased. The market in London is also more firm, at 31s. 6d. per cwt.

The COTTON Market is steady at full prices, and the demand regular. Hors.-Much attention is now drawn to the state of the plantations, there being reports in circulation of the rapid increase of the fly in nearly all the Hop districts, The accounts this morning confirm the accounts relative to tke prevalence of the fly, but not to any serious extent. Prices nevertheless are very firm. It does not appear that any estimate of the probable amount of duty has yet Well made; it being much too early. In the Sax and WOOL Markets there is -again Tab er more doing, particularly in the former. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING THR.W ASI Wheat. Per Quarter, s. to s.
