IRELAND. PASTORAL ADDRESS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCH- BISHOP AND BISHOPS TO THE CLERGY AND LAITY OF THEIR COMMUNION THROUGHOUT IRELAND. The Archbishops and Bishops, whose names are under signed, to the Clergy and People of the Catholic Church of Ireland, health and' benediction. Beloved brethren in Christ Jesus, Being assembled in Dublin to deliberate, as our custom is, on our own duties and the sacred interests confided to our care, we are urged by the charity of God, and the love we hear you, to address to you the following brief instruction. And first we give thanks to (toil and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that net only '-du continue to be of one mind labouring together in the faith of the Gospel, but also that this Gospel intreases and fructifies amongst you, en that your Improvement is manifest to all, whilst your faith is spoken of throuehout the entire world. I3e mind ful, however, that "neither he that plahteth is any thing, kt l / 4 r he that watereth, but facet that giveth the increase." I Car. iii. 7. As also, that "be that shall persevere unto the earl s he shall be saved." Matt. x. 22. Indeed ) belotted brethren, the present should be to us and to yen an acceptable time, not only on =Count of tour edvaneement in virtue, but also beeatise our divine religion has of late been sotneWhat relieved, and your civil rights greatly extended. since we last addrested you, a great and bentneent and healing measure has been enacted by the Legislature for your relief. Only last year, and this Country was agitated from end to end, and from ita extremities to its very centre. The dominion of the passions prevailed over the dominion of the law; and men born to love each other contended to almost the shedding of each other's blood ; the public in terests were neglected 'at forgotten ; the ties of kindred were broken ; the power of Government was weakened, the laws thettlselves were paralysed, and religion, which MYed to t:tettee passion and consolidate the public peace, was %teal:ale freely to discharge her functions. It was at tide time that he, by whom kings reign and legislators decree just thing's, arose, and as it were, said to the sea be still, and to the north wind do not blow. Our gracious and beloved Sovereign, walking in the footsteps of his Royal Father, (whose memory be ever cherished,) com miserated the state of Ireland, and resolved to confer upon her the ieestimable blessing of religious peace. This great boon became the more acceptable to this country, because, among the councillors of his Majesty, there appeared con spicuous the most distinguished of Ireland's own stns,—a hero and a legislator —a man selected by the Almighty to break the rod which had scourged Europe—a man raised up by Providence to content thrones, to re-establish altars, to direct the councils of England at a crisis the most diffi cult, and to stench the blood and heal the wounds of the . country Which gave him birth. An enlightened and wise Parlientent perfected what the Sovereign and his council lors commenced, and already the effects of their wisdom and justice are visible and duly appreciated by all the wise and good. The storm which almost wrecked the country has subsided, whilst social order, with peace and justice in her train, prepares to establish her sway in this long die traded Country. And is not the King, irloved brethren, whom by the law of God we are hound to honour, entitled now to all the honour and all the obedience, and all the gratitude you can bestow ? And do not his Ministers merit from you a con fidence commensurate with the labours and the zeal ex pended by them on your behalf? And that Legislature which raised you up from your prostrate condition, and gave to you without reserve all the privileges you desired— is not that Legislature entitled to your reverence and love? We confide that your feelings on this subject are in unison with our own, anti that a steady attachment to the consti tution and laws of your country, as well as to the person and government of our most gracious Sovereign, will be manifeated in your entire conduct. Labour, therefore, in all things to promote the end which the Legislature contemplated in passing this Bill for your relief,—to wit, the pacification and improvement of Ire land. Let religious discord cease,---let party feuds and civil dissensions he no more heard of,—let rash, and un just, and illegal oaths be not even named amongst you; and if sowers of discord or sedition should attempt to trouble your repose, seek for a safeguard against them in the protection afforded by the law. Be sober and watch, so that no one may have evil to say of you ; give way to anger rather than contend with an adversary, so that nothing on your part may be wanting to promote peace and good-will among all classes and de seriptions of the Irish people. To our venerable brethren the clergy, of whatsoever degree, we propose, with reference to what here follows, our own example : they will copy it into their lives, and adhere to it as a rule of conduct. We united our efforts with those of the laity, in seeking to attain their just rights, and to attain them without a com promise of the freedom of our church. Success at tended our united efforts, because reason, and justice, and religion, and the voice of mankind were upon our side. We rejoice at the result, regardless of those provisions in the great measure of relief which injuriously affect our selves, and not only us, but those religious orders which the church of God, even from the Apostolic times, has nurtured and cherished in her bosom. These provisions, however, which were, as we hope and believe, a sacrifice required, not by reason or policy, but by prejudices hold ing captive the minds of even honest men, did not pre vent us from rejoicing at the good which was effected for our country. But we rejoiced at that result, not snore on public grounds than we did because we found ourselves discharged from a duty which ne cessity alone bad allied to our ministry —a duty imposed on us by a state of times which has passed, but a duty which we have gladly relinquished, in the fee went hope that by us or by our successors it may not be resumed. These are the sentiments which the spirit of nor calling inspires, they are the sen timents which never ceased to animate us, and which our clergy, always obedient to our voice, will cherish long with us, that, as the Apostle commands, " all may say the same thing, and there may be no divisions amongst us." As to the rest, beloved brethren, clergy and laity, we charge you to be steadfast in the faith ; preserve this faith unimpaired and unsullied, for it is " a best gift from above," (James i. 17), and surpasses all whatsoever this earth or its rulers can bestow. Be not weakened by dis tress, or influenced by seduction. Guard from danger the children of your affection, whom our Father in heaven Las confided to your care. Let no wild fanaticism, alike injurious to the Church and to the state, find access to your families, or be blended with the education of your children. Hope with us, that upon this subject of educa tion our reiterated prayers, founded as they are upon justice and the public good, will be heard favourably bya Govern ment and Legislature anxious only to promote the public interest and consolidate the public peace. Beloved brethren, farewell ! And may the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.—Phil. iv. 7. Given at Dublin, Feb. 9. PATRICK CURTIS, D.D. D.

It turns out, after all, and may now, we be lieve, be stated on very good authority, that the contract for a loan of 2,000,0001. to the Brazilian Government, entered into with Mr. MABER,Lv by the Marquis BAR BACENA previous to his departure from England, is not to be ratified. One reason assigned for this is, that by the Constitution of Brazil, no money transactions can be entered into without first obtaining the sanction of the Chambers, which do not assemble until the month of May next ; but as this fact must have been perfectly known to the Marquis BARBACENA before he put his name to the contract, it can hardly, we should imagine, be the true cause. Some of the merchants are of opi nion tbat.BAßßAcEsra, on his arrival at Rio, found the situation of the Government in respect to credit so much better than he anticipated when he left England, that he declined pressing his contract on the attention of the Ministry. The affair has, however, some circum stances of mystery still attached to it, which cannot be cleared up Without some further information on the subject. It is doubted whether any other contract is pending for a loan of any such magnitude to Brazil, and hence it is inferred that the cause of the young Queen of Portugal is not to receive that effective sup port from her father which his change of Ministry, brought about by removing all those who were opposed to such course of policy, had led most persons interested to anti grip* LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17, 1830. A Deputation, consisting of several gentle men connected with the Iron Trade, and headed by Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY, Bart., and Mr. LITTLETON, M.P., had a long interview with Mr. HERRIES, at the Office of the Board of Trade, this morning. The following are extracts from Hamburg and Dutch Papers of the 9th and 13th inst.:— ritom THE NEVA, JAN. 20. A report is in circulation here of a detailed note deli vered by our Government to Lord Heytesburv, which is said to relate to the affairs of Greece. O u r Government it is said firmly insists that for the present no change what ever shall he made in the Government of Greece, but that the administration of that country must be left to the inde fatigable zeal of the unpretending and humane President. The choice of a ruler it is added ought to be left to the wishes and the will of the Greek nation, without the in terference of any of the great Powers. It is even affirmed that the Sultan has expressed a similar opinion.— Well informed persons affirm that this and other questions relative to the general affairs of. Europe will probably be discussed in a general Congress of Ministers to meet at Berlin. Active exertions are making to complete our army in the East, the detachments of new troops and the officers lately appointed are ordered to proceed to their de stination as quickly as the rigour of the season will permit, and it is said that none of the commanding Generals will have leave of absence granted them. COPENHAGEN, FEE. 2. The bulletins relative to the health of her Royal High ness the Princess Caroline communicate the agreeable in telligence, that though her Royal Highness still suffers from the injury she sustained from the fire, she is, how ever, recovering. F RANK FO ItT, FEE. 3. M. Von Munch Bellinghausen, the President of the Diet, lass not yet returned to this city. It is affirmed that the Diet will have its decree against the Duke of Bruns wick carried into effect. Great curiosity is excited with regard to the steps that will be adopted. We hear nothing of any other matters that ate to come before the Diet. HAMBURG, FEB. 9. BoasEN-HALL, HALF-PAST Foca O'CLOCK.—Our Stock Market has been very heavy since Saturday, in consequence of the fall of the Neapolitan Funds in Paris. Falconets have been as low as 90, and are now quoted at 91i. Funds are, generally speaking, in demand. Some thing has lately been done in Greek Bonds. Discount, 2A per cent. End of February.

Anglo Neapolitan Falconets - HANIBURG, JAN. 31. In a General Assembly of the Citizens on the 28th instant, it was resolved that the import duties on goods brought by sea, which were only 1 per cent., are reduced to per cent. The duties on all fruits brought from the south are to be reduced one-third of their present amount at the end of April this year. The importation of raw zinc, and of raw cotton and wool, is wholly free. The first duty produced, during the last five years, on an average 772,198 marks per annum ; and the great diminution of the revenue which the city will thus experience must be made good by other means. _ _ VIE HAGUE, FEB. 11. His Majesty's frigate Eurydice is put into commission, and the command of her given to Captain J. E. Lewe Van Aduard. HAARLEM, FEB. 10. We hear that last Friday and Saturday the ice in the Niewe Diep was immovable, a circumstance which the oldest people do not remember to have seen before. An animated discussion took place, last night, in the House of Commons on the subject of Greece, in the course of which Mr. PEEL, in answer to a question put by Lord JOHN RUS SELL, observed, "the arrangement now in pro gress fbr the independence, happiness, and se curity of Greece, is in my opinion much more favourable than that which was contemplated in the Protocol. The territorial limits may be less extensive, but the compensation for the more confined limits will, I think, he found ample. The boundaries will include all those places with which our historical re collections are gratefully associated." Mr. PEEL here implies that the territorial limits of Greece will be less extensive than those con templated in the Protocol, which, be it ob served, assigned Arta and Vola as the boun daries of the new State. If this be really the Case—if Greece is to be thus miserably crippled, with what justice can Mr. PEEL assert that the " boundaries will include all those places with which our historical recollections are grate fully associated ?" Thessaly and Epirus— Thessaly in particular, the most hallowed spot in all ancient Greece, celebrated as the birth-place of H ONI ER'S Achilles, asso ciated with the recollections of Pyrrha, Deuca lion, and the Deluge, and including within its limits the classic vale of Tempe, the equally classic river of Peneus, and above all, Mount Olympus, the heaven of the Grecian Deities— and Epirus, where flourished the oracular grove of Dodona, linked for ever in poetic tradition with Jason and his Argonautic expedition ; these two immortal regions are, it seems, to be shutout from the territorial limits of the new state. But not only is this to be the case, but the Island of Candia—the ancient Crete, the cradle of the Dictman Jupiter, and the original site of the early Greek mythology--is to be shut out also; and yet Mr. PEEL comes forward and states that the new boundaries will include all those places with which our historical recollections are grate fully associated ! ! Had it not been for this poetic flourish of the Might Hon. Secretary, we should scarcely have noticed the subject at this length ; but as he has thought fit to take credit to himself for what he knows cannot possibly be effected, so long as the spirit of the Protocol is crippled and defaced, we hold it our duty to place his declaration in its proper light and rate it at its just worth. With regard to Candia, Lord PALM ERSTON'S remarks on this subject were admirable, and what is better still, unanswerable. There can never be peace for the new Government so long as an island within a day or two's sail of the main seat of Government is permitted to be at the beck of a foreign power, from time immemo rial the unwearied foe to Greece. The degrada tion of Candia, which, as the old Crete, no lover of his country's genius, can ever look on with an indifferent eye, must always be a reflec tion on the patriotism of the new State, and as such they will strain every nerve to rescue it. We hope, however, they will have uo occasion for complaint on this head. If the abolition of the Philosophical College of Louvain was a well timed act of conciliation towards the Catholic Party in Belgium, the re newal of the peisecutions of the Brussels Press is a measure which must defeat any attempt of the Netherlands Government to recover that popularity which it has lost by its own ill-ad. vised conduct. We now hear that M. M. DE POTTER, COCHE-MONIENS, and VANDER STRAETTEN, the two former of whom are the leading writer and printer of the Courier des Pays Bas, and the latter the editor of Le Beige (two Liberal Journals, which with another called La Belgique, represent the sentiments of the whole population of Brussels, and are widely spread throughout Belgium), have been visited with prosecutions, the first step of which has been to consign them to dungeons of the most ignominious kind, for having encouraged the people to subscribe, in order to raise a sum of money to indemnify for the loss of their places, a number of public functionaries who have lately been dismissed from their offices for voting against the Government. This proceeding takes place under a forced construction of the law against sedition, unexampled perhaps for its perversion of the spirit of that law, and for its infringement upon those fundamental rights without which liberty cannot exist. As a proof of the state of feeling in Brussels, it is remarkable that, besides the official Gazette des Prigs Bas, which emanates directly from th e King's Palace, the Government has lately set up three Journals, Le Sentinelle, Le National, and 117/Tart/a, which it has paid for defending its measures, but has totally failed in obtaining f or them a circulation. At Liege, Ghent, Antwerp, and the other provincial towns, it is only th e Liberal Journals that meet with readers, and the degree in which they have annoyed the Govern ment may well be conceived. His MAJESTY now appears determined to put them down at all hazards, and has again commenced operations upon the Brussels Papers, although they have actually done nothing more than recommended the people to do that which they have a legal right to do, namely, to raise a public subscrip tion for the use of whatever persons they please. This right is surely as sacred as that of the Government to dismiss its own servants fbr thwarting its own measures, and in the present case does not go any thing like the length of the Irish Catholic Rent, which, by a Ministry dis posed to continue the oppression of Ireland, must have been regarded with the utmost appre hension. Here the Belgic Papers have done no more than we should, supposing (what we have assuredly no intention of doing) we had attempted to persuade the public to subscribe to indemnify General KING for his late loss of his place in the KING'S household. The King of the NETHERLANDS is using all the means he can to goad his people to insurrection, and if the eventual alienation from him of a part of his do minions would be viewed with alarm by other European Powers, it is time that those Powers should at least employ some friendly admo nitions which might tend to secure the perma nence of the kingdom of the Netherlands as established by the Treaty of Vienna. It is the intention of Government, we under stand, to extend the system of bonding from the principal outports into the interior of the country—a plan which will, it is conceived, be a material accommodation to the retail traders throughout England. At present, if sugar, coffee, or any other article of general consumption is purchased in London or Liverpool by the retail dealer, it cannot he released from bond until the whole of the duty is paid, and the advance from his capital becomes consequently much larger than will be requi site if this plan is adopted, as he will then be permitted to pay the duty, as he removes the articles from bond for the purposes of trade. As the duty is generally as much and frequently more than the import value of the article, this is equal to an accommodation to that extent of a loan without interest, and will make the trader less dependent than heretofore upon the local banks fur assistance, which is probably one object of the measure. It is equivalent, therefore, to an increase of the circulation without any of its attendant evile. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE,..(THI FROM LLOYD'S.

Papers from Van Dieman's Land, to the 12th of Sept., have been received at the North and South American Coffee house. (From the Tasmanian, from Sydney the 14th Aug.) We lament to state, that the affairs of the sister colony ap pear to he of the two somewhat worse than our town. The times of Sydney are very bad, the whole town is in a state little better than a bankruptcy, and the merchants are at a stand what to do. We are happy to state that the Old Bank is. going on prosperously ; the dividend was 8 per cent. for the half year, and 34- per cent. for a sinking fund to increase the capital. The Government has issued an order, that in future no foreign coin of any description shall be received in payment by any of the public departments. Tt:c Hobart Town Papers, to the 13th of September, state from Sydney, 4th of August, that the price of wheat was Ils. to 12s. per bushel. There was a violent storm at Sydney on the Ist of August. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 15.—We had but few country dtalers in our timber market this week. Though the weather has become more mild, the inland navigation is not yet completely open, and the dealers expect to pur chose at a reduction in the prices.

JUDGMENT.....PORTIR IN RE SIMMONDS. The VICE CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was a petition praying for a super sedeas of the commission, upon the ground that there was no trading, no good petitioning creditor's debt, and no act of bankruptcy. It appeared to his Honour as a matter of fact upon the affidavits, that there was a good petitioning creditor's debt, and a sufficient trading. A doubt might, however, be fairly entertained as to the act of bank ruptcy. The commission originally issued in February, and on the 17th of March the first meeting took place under it, and at that meeting it distinctly appeared that every thing now urged against the commis sion was put forward, and overruled by the Commissioners. It had been urged at the Bar that there ought to be issues directed,or some enquiry had, as to the question of the suf ficiency of the act of bankruptcy ; now a decisive answer was at once apparent to that, there were no assets by means of which those enquiries could be prosecuted. The object of super seding the present commission would be to get rid of the certificate which had been granted, and to enable Porter, the petitioning creditor, and Woodward, his solicitor, to avail themselves of the provisions of that instrument, upon which the act of bankruptcy was founded, the effect of which would be to give to Porter and Woodward afraudu lent preference in the payment of their debts. His Honour, upon the whole, considered the petition, as pre sented under such circumstances that the Court could not sanction it ; his Honour, therefore, acting in accordance with the decision of Lord Eldon, in ex-parte Crowder, felt himself bound to dismiss the petition with costs.

COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the Duke of WEL LIN6ION, EH'II BATHURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN, Viscount MELVILLE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Sir G. MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, and Mr. lIERRIES. The LORD CHANCELLOR was prevented from attending the Council, owing to being engaged in the House of Lords in hearing appeals. The Ministers sat in deliberation about an hour and a half. After the breaking up of the Council, the Russian and French Ambassadors arrived at the Foreign-office, and had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN. Earl ROSSLYN, Viscount MELVILLE, Mr. Secretary PEEL, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. llFauns, had interviews with the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday, at the Treasury. Lord ELLENBOROUGII and the CHANCELLOR of the ExcuEeuE a visited the Duke of WELLINGTON on Monday. The Duke of MANCHESTER transacted bus►ness on Mon day at the Treasury. The novel entitled " Sydenhain," which has given rise to so much controversy, is writtrn by a young Barrister. It is, perhaps, the most spirited composition amongst works of that c!ass since the publication of " Junius's Letters." The characters are all drawn from life. —Morning Chronicle. A very daring forgery was discovered yester day in the Consol Office at the Bank, where a person had obtained the dividend on 66,0001. Consols by personating the real holder and counterfeiting his signature. The amount thus obtained was 9901,, and the forgery was not discovered till the true claimant, whose name is TBOMAS HUDSON, presented himself as usual to sign for his divi dend. The money was taken out chiefly in notes of 501. each, of which only one has come hack to the Bank, so that the offender will probably be detected. Of course the loss falls on the Bank. INJUNCTION.-BURKE V. ROSS AND OTHERS. Mr. SKIRROW applied for a special injunction to restrain the defendants from transferring 1,6001. and a fraction stock standing in their names, and also for the purpose of preventing the Bank of England in joining in that transfer. The application was made under the following circum stances : The testator, a gentleman of the name of Chancey, who died in December last at an advanced age, some time previous to his death was totally unfit to trans act business in consequence of his habits of intetn perance and frequent aberrations of mind. In one of his forgetful moments he executed an assignment of the stock in qUestion to a lady of the name of Ross, with whom he had long cohabited. The stock in question was shortly afterwards transferred to the defendants, as trustees for Mrs. Ross. The plaintiff, who married one of the daugh ters of Mr. Chancey, upon ascertaining the circumstance of the transfer of the stock to trustees, spoke to Mr. Chancey upon the subject, who expressed himself entirely ignorant of what he had done. The whole of the above circumstances were supported by the affidavits of Mr. Burke, and other persons of the highest respectability. The VICE-CHANCELLOR considered there was asuffi cient prima facie case, and granted the injunction. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE USURY LAWS.-PERRY V. FITZGERALD. This was an action brought to recover of the defendant certain penalties, which he had made himself liable to un der the Statute of Queen Anne, by taking unlawful inte rest in the discount of some bills of exchange. The ATTORNEY-GENEKAL appeared for the plaintiff, and, after stating the circumstances under which the pre sent action was brought, called Perry, who deposed that he applied to the de fendant to discount a bill of exchange for 641. 75., which he agreed to do, and gave witness 591. 175., deducting 41. 10s. as discount. On another occasion Mr. Fitzgerald discounted two bills for witness, accepted for the sum of 1031. 75., when he deducted as discount 5/. 75., and banded to witness 981. The bills were all paid. On cross-examination it appeared that the witness was brother of the plaintiff, had been a bankrupt, and al►o taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. This was the only evidence adduced on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury for the defendant. He said they could not enter into a discussion of the good or had effects of the Usury Laws. The statute was in existence, and the Court was bound to administer it. But he did hope that they would never give a verdict against his client on the evidence of one solitary witness, and that witness too a person which he (Mr. Gurney) should prove was not to be" believed upon his oath. A more vindictive and revenge r ul action was never brought into a Court of Justice. The witness had existed on the very means that Mr. Fitzgerald afforded him in discount ing his accommodation paper, and now turned round and tried to recover three times the amount of that accommo dation. He could not bring the action himself, he there fore got his brother, and who was also his journeyman, to become plaintiff, and no doubt if they succeeded the spoil would be divided between them. The Learned Counsel then called several witnesses, who swore that they would not believe Perry upon his oath. On their cross-examination, however, it appeared the principal reason they had for not believing him was, that he had failed in keeping his promises in money matters. The ATTORNIV-GENERAL, in his reply, said if such a fact was a sufficient reason for not believing, a man's oath, it would render nine-tenths of the country unworthy of belief. Lord TENTERMLN summed up. His Lordship told the Jury the whole case rested upon the credit they gave to the witness Perry; if they believed him, the defendant had clearly taken an illegal discount. He bad discounted three bills at short dates, amounting to 1671. 145., for which he charged 91. 17s. He had therefore, under the Statute, made himself liable to three times the amount of the bills, minus the discount, which sum, amounting to 473/. I Is., the plaintiff would be entitled to recover, if, as he before said, they could credit the evidence of Perry. The Jury consulted for a short time, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 473/. I Is. Another action was then called on, the same plaintiff against the father of the defendant iM the last cause, and brought under the nine circumstances. A verdict for the plaintiff for 1141. 15s. was taken by consent. ASSAULT--CALLIEORNE lIODGES. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an assault and false imprisonment. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Platt, that the plaintiff is a cabinet maker, residing in Aylesbury-street, Clerkenwell, and was some time in the service of the defendant, who is in the same trade residing at Hoxton. The parties not agreeing together, the plaintiff left the defendant, and commenced business for himself. About three months after this time, the defendant in company with a constable went to the plaintiff's house, took him into custody, and dragged him off to Worship-street police-office. After waiting at the office some hours the case was called on, and when the defendant was asked what charge he had to prefer, said that he had been robbed of a piece of wood, and he believed it was the plaintiff who had taken it. He ad rnittted the value was only eightpence. There was not the least ground of suspicion against the plaintiff, and Mr. Broughton, the Magistrate, instantly discharged him. The defendant, when he ordered the constable to take the plaintiff into custody, called out before his (the plaintiff's) journeyman, " This is the rogue that robbed me of my property, but I will stick to him." Under these circum stances the plaintiff had deemed it necessary, in vindication of his character, to bring the present action. A witness fully proved the above statement. Mr. GURNEY said he could not justify the part the de fendant had taken. He might have acted, however, under wrong impressions, which the Jury would take into their consideration.---Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 20/. Lord TENTERDEN sits to-morrow at Guildhall. PREROG %TIVE COURT. IN THE CASE 01' WHITMORE AND OTHERS V. STEVENS. Sir JOHN Nrcuor. pronounced judgment to-day. This cause was instituted to try the validity of a will propounded to the Court as the last will and testament of a Mr. Stevens, who was aged 82 at his death, and which was in favour of the plaintiffs in this cause. The next of kin conceiving that the will was not valid, applied to the Court pot to allow probate. The property at stake is considerable. After hearing Counsel on both sides, Sir JOHN NICHOL pronounced fur the validity of the will and codicils, con ceiving that the deceased was in sound mind, and capable of making a testamentary paper when he executed the do cument propounded. The Court allowed Mi. Stevens costs out of the estate. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. WIGGINS AND ANONIER V.. CAPLE AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought for the recovery of compen sation for the injury plaintiffs sustained by the death of a horse, value sixty guineas, which was caused by the negli gence and carelessness of defendants' carman. - Mr. Serjeant WILDF. stated the case, the substance or which was as follows waggon of the plaintiffs was going at an easy pace down Bridge-street, when a waggon ')elonging to the defendants came up at a very rapid pace, drawn by four horses, and the carman of the defendants was not at the head of the horses, but running on the foot-way. The great noise occasioned by the rapid movement of defendants' waggon, frightened the horses drawing: plaintiffs' waggon, and they imme diately set off in a gallop. After proceeding in this rapid pace, one of the plaintiffs' horses fell, and defendants' PRINTED AND PITELDINED BE MURDO YOUNG, At THI SVN 071‘111, 112, &SAND, LONIHIN. waggon coming up with velocity, the shaft ran into the body of another rd' plaintiffs' horses,' which occasioned its immediate death. This action was therefore brought fin• the recovery of the value of said horse, which was 60 guineas. The evidence produced on the part of the plaintiffs sub— stantiated the above statement. Mr. Strjeant LAWNS, for the defendants, argued at great length on behalf of his clients—the substance of which went to show that the accident in question was not occasioned by the carelessness of the defendants' car— man, who was unable to eontroul his horses when they had been frightened by some cart passing with great vein— city. The foflowing witnesses were called to support the defence. James Sage deposed to his having been driving the wag gon of a Mr. Hoppe, in Bridge-street, at the time of the transaction in question. He considered the cause of the accident was owing to a skin-cart passing close to the de fendants' waggon with great speed, which frightened the horses and made them run away. When the horses were stopped he heard the plaintiffs' carman say, that it was but an accident, and there was no per son deserving of blame, for it could not hare been helped. James Maynard, the driver of defendants' waggon4atated that the accident was not occasioned by his neglect. When, he saw plaintiff's horse fall he went to render his assist ance, and plaintiffs' carman said that no fault could be at- , tributed to any person, for it was but a mere accident. Thomas Webster was passing by at the time the tran saction occurred, and said it was a waggon belonging to a Mr. West and Freeman which started off first, and which occasioned the other waggons following it to run away also. William Bitton saw the transaction. Heard the plain tiff's carman say that no blame could be given to any per son, for the accident could not have been helped, Mr. Henry Cumming and Mr. James Taylor stated they were clerks in defendants' counting-house ; heard the plaintiffs' carman say in the office, that while he was walking beside his hones, he heard a noise behind him, which caused him to turn round, when his horses . made off, and that no person could be blamed for the accident. Mr. Serjeant * WILDE. again addressed the Jury for the plaintiffs, in the course of which he argued that it was entirely owing to the carman of the defendants'; which oc casioned the accident. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Di mages, 68!. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY): CORN EXCHANGE.

Yesterday afternoon, just as the business of Union Hall effice was about to be closed, an application of a very un usual and somewhat extraordinary nature was made to the Magistrates, Messrs. CIIAMBRS, ELTAILD, and Ilxncas. The applicant, who resided in the city, but whose name, out of motives of delicacy, we do not dive, was of highly respectable appearance, and from his dialect we judge him to he a native of Scotland. He stated to their Worships that he wished them to grant him a warrant against his wife, in order that she might appear before them and be bound over to keep the peace towards towards him, and be restrained from coming to molest him. Mr. Euvaan—What are the grounds of your charge? —Applicant—l am a land-:gent, and have frequently pro perty to a very large amount entrusted to my care. The confidence which is reposed iu me by gentlemen of for tune rests entirely upon the respectability of my character; e h b o y o propagating a d g o a i t n i g ng a ll t the she t c n a o n s t to sl r a u n i d n e m r o y u s r e a p n u d . s a t c a n a t ts d n m a . l y o u swfiafles, Mr. ELYARD—IILLA she threatened to do you personal violence or to take away your life? Applicant—No, she does worse; she is taking away my character. Mr. CHAMBERS-With that we cannot interfere. She is your wife ; you married her for " better or worse," and you roust now abide the result. Do you and your wife live together at present? Applicant—No, Sir ; I have allowed her a separate maintenance some time ago, but still she will come and annoy me. Mr. CHAMBERS—Do you accuse her of improper con duct with others? Applicant—Most certainly not. Mr. CHAMBERS-Then, Sir, you must take het home to your own home. Applicant—That I will not do ; if I cannot get a war rant for her I shall order her to be turned away whenever she comes near the premises. Mr. ELYARD-That will be a dangerous experiment ; she is your wife, and you must protect her. Applicant—Although she passes as my wife I apprehend the law cannot make ins live with her, or even support her. Mr. ELYA RD-Then you are under a mistake. Applicant—But, gentlemen, she who passes as my wife, and to whom I was formerly married, is not a female. • Mr. CHAMBERS-We read accounts of the female hue band some tim e ago; surely you have not been so unfor tunate as to marry a male wife ? Applicant—No, Sir, I have not. Mr. CHAMBERS-Then, pray tell us what it is that you have married. Lit a fish ? Applicant—l must confess, gentlemen, that the person who appears as my wife is nei ther of the three, man, woman, or fish. I have been married upwards of two years, and should never have made this disclosure had not imperative necessity forced me to do so ; for, in consequence of my refusing to live with the individual as my wife, my character is vilely slandered, my employment suffeling daily, and my con nexions fast upon the wane. lam ready to make oath to the facts I have stated. Mr. CHAMBERS--it is an affair in which we have no jurisdiction. You must apply elsewhere for redress, and had better consult sonic professional' gentleman. Upon this intimation the applicant thanked the Magis trates for their attention, bowel, and retired. BIRTHS. At Cannon-hall, Yorkshire, the lady of J. S. Stan hope, El., of a daughter.
