HANIMURG PAPERS. HANctuaa, Nov. 6.—Bythe Stockholm journals to ere 29th ult., which arrived to-day, we learn that the Government, in order that the price of corn might not fall .too low, and thus give occasion to excessive brandy distilling, had thought fit to decree that corn may be exported free of custom and other duties till the end of June, 1834. It was observed that that permission might lead to extensive exportations to Courland and Livonia, where importation is now free. Lord Howard de Walden, who is appointed British Ambassador at Lisbon, delivered his letters of recall to his Majesty the King on the 25th, and on the same day was invited with his Lady to his Majesty's table, on which occasion he took leave of the Royal Family. He intends to embark to morrow on board an English steam-boat for London. IlßuNswtcx, Nov. 2.—An assembly of the States met again yesterday for the first time since its adjournment in June. A project of law on the personal tax was presented, which proposes a very considerable increase of the tax en the higher classes, and a reduction of that on the ',Owen Some rescrip's of the Duke were read, together with which a statement of the finances for 1834-1836 was communi cated and distributed among the members. It is expected that in a few weeks there will be another adjournment in order to give the Committee time to complete their labour respecting the finances, &c. CASSEL, NOP, 3 —A deputation of the inhabitants yesterday had the honour to be presented to the Prince Co- Rege - nt, to present an address expressive of the most lively gratitude for the law sanctioned on the 29th ult., for regulating the civil rights of the Jews, by which they are planed, under certain conditions and restrictions, on an equality with their fellow-citizens. EMEDEN, Nov. 2.—Yesterday evening, afrer a terrible storm from the W.N.W., the water rose over the quays at 10 o'clock, though the regular time of high water was not till half-past 3 in the morning, and rose to such a height that we feared another scene of terror, like that of Feb 2, 1825. A great deal of damage was done by the inundation of the cell.rs and ground-floors of the houses, but the water was, however, two feet lower than in the tide of the night of Feb. 3, 1825, which was the highe.t there had been for a century. We do not hear of the breach of any dikes. STATE OF THE HAMBURG MARKETS. (From the Gerinan P ipers, rec•ined this Morning.) BORSEN HALLE, Nov.

The Paris Papers of Monday, which arrived this morning, contain no intelligence of interest from Spain. The Ministerial Prints are silent as to the movements of SAARSFIELD, except as to the insertion of a letter from Aladrid, in which it is stated that he had given the insur gents of Vittoria a delay of eight days for their surrender. If SAARSFIELD had been strong enough to attack them, we do not think that he would have wasted so much time whilst the insurgent bands were increasing around him.

Who the writer may be it is impossible for us to divine; but we remember, in more instances than one, to have received from the same quarter communications which subsequently proved to have been from autho rity. Whether the present statement, which is full of sound and fury, be authorized or not, time will show. We do not find, on inquiry, that either the British or the French Cabinet has received any very threatening communica tions from the Northern Powers ; but it is not improbable that the concessions which our Cabinet and that of the Tuileries have made, may have turned the brains of METTERNICH and NESSELRODE, and made them believe that they may ride rough shod over the national honour of France and Great Britain. Qui' vivra verra, as the writer says. For our own part we have no uneasiness, and we do not be lieve that Lord GREY will be much disturbed by the communication of the Northern trio whatever it may be. FRONTIERS Or PRUSSIA, OCT. 28..—0 n the day of Count Nesseirode's departure, several couriers were despatched to Vienna, probably to make known to the Austrian Cabinet the result of the deliberation, at Berlin. It is said that immediate overtures were also made to the French and English Courts by the Representatives of the Three Northern Powers, but not, as was supposed, by a special Ambassador. The nature of this communication is naturally kept secret—enough has, however, transpired to convince us that the French journals must assign another motive to the recent Congress of Sovereigns than they have hitherto done. We do not say that it was resolved in Bohemia, or at Berlin, to draw the sword without any delay—that would be to misinterpret the wishes of the continental Powers, and to cast doubt upon their love of peace; but we have every reason to believe, that they have now marked out a line which they will not allow the leaders of the revolutionary party to pass over. The partisans of liberal Constitutions will doubtless see an ultra-tendency in these expressions ; they must be left to do so. We consider that we are performing a duty to the public in general, by warning them not to rely too much en the forbearance of these powers. The French have a proverb, qui vivra verra ; we think that a change will take place; at least it is resolved to make no further concession to the revolution. VIENNA, Nov. 2.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 931 ; Four per Cent., 821 ; Bank Shares, 1,203. Various ingenious paragraphs have been in circulation the last three days, asserting the un expected and ominous visit of Lord DURHAM to the metropolis. The Morning Post and Herald of yesterday, and our respectable contem porary the Morning Advertiser, have giver( currency to these reports. The latter, thi s morning, states that Lord DURHAM, , 4 yesterday forenoon (Tuesday), visited Earl GREY, i ❑ Downing-street." There is not one Word of truth in these rumours. They probably derive their origin from the large manufactory of political lies lately established by certain caterers to the public press, and who have been this week also occupied with falsehoods against Mr. ELLICE. The fact is that Lord DURHAM is at Lambton Castle, and will spend the winter there or at Paris. It is, however, no marvel that the Conservatives should take so deep an interest in his Lordship's movements. The Times, of yesterday, in commenting upon a letter inserted in its columns, complain ing of the evils of the Poor Laws, says : " To every reflecting person it must, we think, appear monstrous that a lazy pauper should receive gratuitously out of a parochial tax a weekly sum equivalent to the highest wages that can be earned by the most able bodied and industrious labourer ; and that a man who marries without a shilling in the wend, or the prospect of support ing a wife, much less children, should be rewarded for his recklessness by allowances for each and every of a dozen children ; the first of these misapplications of charity being a premium upon idleness—the second upon callous impro vidence and desperation." To every reflecting person, therefore, it is ob vious that the true rule of charity, with respect to parish paupers, is to make them work harder and fare worse than the independent labourer. But, if we mistake not, the Times has repeatedly within these few months attacked those who have maintained that doctrine, and asserted the right of the pauper, improvident, drunken, and reckless though he may have been, t• relief at the expense of his honest, industrious neigh bours, who have made the earnings of the harvest last them through the winter. It was the Times who set the example of attacking Miss MARTINEAU'S feelings and character instead of her arguments. It may be granted that the article which appeared in that paper against the amiable lady we have mentioned, whose sole crime was contending against what " every reflecting per son" must think monstrous, was free from the brutal, beastly indelicacy of that in Frazer's Magazine, but still it was utterly inconsistent with the conduct of a " reflecting person." We should have been content to hail the advocacy of sound principles and true humanity by the Times, without reference to past slips, did we not perceive in the article in which it chances to be right, indubitable proof of continued igno rance. The sentence next to that which w e have quoted is the following : We concur most heartily with our correspondent in denouncing as wicked and inhuman the wholesale swamp ing of the small tenantry of England, sacrificed as that invaluable body of our fellow subjects have been, at the bidding of those who called themselves political economists, to the great Moloch of production." At the bidding of those who call themselves political economists ! Our contemporary might as reasonably talk of the Times having been reared at the bidding of political economists. A compositor is a much better educated man, much more intelligent man, and, therefore, a much better citizen than a small farmer. If one large farmer can be made to do what three small farmers used to do, and two printers or manu facturers be added to society, society will be a gainer. But would. not the Times laugh to scorn any writer who should denounce it s wholesale swamping of morning papers, and the consequent non-employment of hundreds of addi tional printers ? The Times wishes to break up large farms that there may be three farmers where there is one ; but why not break the Times into three morning papers ? There are large farms instead of small, because it is more economical to cultivate on a large than a small scale, and so there are thrashing machines, because by their means corn can be thrashed out more econo mically than by hand. The Times does not, however, advocate the giving of em ployment to the agricultural population by the destruction of thrashing machines. Why not we cannot imagine, for large farms, like machinery, rest upon principles of economy. As our contemporary is evidently in this instance not a reflecting person," it may be supposed that his forbearance on the subject of machinery has originated in his unavoidable knowledge that the steam employed in printing the Times is a " wicked and inhuman" offering of the livelihood of a dozen pressmen and score of printers " to the Moloch of production." The simplicity dis played in the abuse of political economists is highly amusing. The Bourgeois Gentilhomme was mightily astonished when he discovered he had been talking prose all his life. The Times will perhaps be equally surprised to learn that it talks political economy every day. To be sure the honest Bourgeois did not always talk grammar, nor is the political economy of the Times always sound—but still the one was prose and the other is political economy. We have been favoured with the copy of a p a mphlet published ten years back by a gentle man named R OSSER, who has been persuaded that the present is a favou ra bl e t i me to di spose of his unsold copies. It is entitled " Credit Pernicious," and its object i s to d o aw ay with one of the greatest signs of commercial civilization which distinguishes this country above all others. The writer has for a long time been contemplating the losses tradesmen suffer by giving credit, and has managed to lose sight of the advantages derived by trade from the existence of credit. Barbarians will not trust each other, for they have no law to compel the performance of a mercantile undertaking. They make no bad debts certainly, but then they have little trade. As men acquire confidence in the power of the law over brute strength and dishonesty, and confidence in one another, credit is given, and trade is extended. Bad debts are then some times made, but the proper check against credit being improvidently given is the interest of indi viduals. Mr. ROSSER very good-naturedly un dertakes to protect men against the consequences of their own conduct, and proposes that " simple contract debts between forty shillings and one hundred pounds, shall not be recoverable by any suit or process whatever." That is, that the law, instead of enforcing an honest contract which men may enter into, shall sanction its violation. Mr. ROSSER urges the state of the law with respect to the debts of minors as a justification of the breach of principle he advocates. But the cases are very different. A minor is sup posed, and justly supposed, to be a party incom petent to judge for hiinself, and the law is in tended to protect him against the fraud of those who might wish to overreach him. What comparison is there between the case of a boy of fourteen running up a bill of 3001. or 4001. with a tailor or hairdresser, and a grown man entering into a contract for the sale of goods to any amount whatever ? The tradesman selling his goods is at liberty to refrain from giving credit. If he gives credit to a person unworthy of credit, it is his own fault. Credit is a conse quence of the performance of contracts. The performance of contracts must be the rule and not the exception, or credit would not be given. The giving of credit will be put an end to without the help of Mr. ROSSER'S Act of Parliament, directly when the loss by so doing is greater than the gain. As it is, he would inconvenience the prudent majority for the sake of what ? Why, of giving a comparatively few weak tradesmen an additional excuse for saying " No," as if any excuse were wanting fcr a prudent tradesman's refusal to give credit to parties he did not think worthy of trust. The thing is absurd in every point of view, and as the let-alone system is becoming better understood every day, we would advise Mr. ROSSER to give up all hopes of selling his " Credit Pernicious."

KEEPSAKE FOR 1834. LONDON, 1833. As we have before noticed the illustrations to this Annual, our present hasty notice will be restricted solely to the literary department. Half the Peerage figures among the poetical contributors, but, with the exception of some elegant lines by Lord Morpeth, entitled the " Three Guests," with no very brilliant success. Lord Holland is clearly a better statesman than a versifyer, and Lord Ma hon will never rival Lord Byron, whether in depth of feeling or reflection. Lord Albert Conyngham contributes a tolerable translation of some trashy diablerie, by Hoffman, (which, we suppose, is called imagination by the admirers of the high German school of romance,) and Sheridan Knowles a very pleasing tale of Italian love, despair, and so forth. This tale, by the bye, is the best in the volume. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There are good arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week, with a plentiful return of Flour.

Letters are not yet received. The express from Paris this morning still leaves us in the dark respecting the state of affairs in the North of Spain; but there being likewise no communication by the telegraph to the French Government, is a sufficient proof that the Carlists are in great force in Biscay and Navarre, and that the Queen's troops cannot as yet attack them with success. A French paper, received by the mail this morning, remarks that it is in the power of Merino to starve Madrid. It also states, that a great number of monks, who are compromised, have suddenly left their convents during the night, by the subterranean passages generally attached to the convents. The fact is, the French papers seldom receive news from Spain, except by way of Barcelona, and the events passing in the other provinces are of an imperfect description. A letter from the above town, of the Ist inst., announces that insurrec tions have taken place at Velez, Malaga, and in the Sierra de Rendu. It also states that Calatayad, in Aragon, has declared for Don Carlos, and a band of insurgents are parading Aragon and Valencia. La Mancha is also in a state of agitation. In respect to Catalogne, the attitude of the patriots preserves that province from danger. A report prevailed that Don Miguel had demanded of the Spanish Government an asylum. A letter from Rome states that a great number of priests have been sent off by the Pope on secret missions to Spain and Portugal. THE FUNDS. Owing to the express from Paris bringing the French Rentes lower-74f. 40c., Consols, which ►eft off yester day at 88 to for the Account, opened at 87i to 88. Private letters from Paris, since received, bring the French Rentes still lower-74f. 15c. This is a proof that they have no favourable news from Spain. It also appears that there i■ great bustle in the Army of Observa tion at Bayonne. No fresh news from Portugal. Spanish Stock, 22i ; Portuguese, 684; Dutch, 49i 11. HALF-PAST ONE. We have an arrival from Bombay about twelve days later than the last accounts ; but we do not hear it brings any political news of consequence. The prevailing report in Paris was, that the affairsof Spain were going on unfavourably, and that the Spanish troops would not fight. Up to the present hour the letters and papers by the American packet have not arrived. No fresh information has as yet been received from Portugal. We have received the Hamburg Reporter of the let. inst. By a proclamation dated 11th ult., the provi sions stored in the public granaries are ordered to be sold to the poor at St. Petereburgh, owing to the failure of the harvest.

Mr. KNIGHT was instructed to apply for leave to have a petition put into the paper on Tuesday morning, the object of which was to pray that the Court would be pleased to confirm a report of the Master's, in favour of an allowance to be made from the lunatic's estate to the widow of the deceased son of Mr. Frank, who was in very low circumstances. Leave granted. SWEET V. ARCHBOLD. Mr. PEPYS and Mr. ROE were counsel for the defen dant in support of the present motion, which was that the injunction which had been granted, restraining the defendant from publishing a work on the practice of the Common Pleas until after the trial of an action, might be dissolved. It will be recollected that the facts of this case were shortly and simply these—Mr. Archbold wrote a work on the practice of the Court of King's Bench, the copyright of which he sold to the plain tiff. Hs subsequently wrote a work on the practice of the Court of Common Pleas, into which he copied certain portions of the work on the King's 13enc6 practice. the plaintiff filed his bill, contending that That was a piracy, and prayed for an injunction. His Honour, the Vice- Chancellor, granted the injunction, except as to the first five pages of the last work. The case was brought by appeal before Lord Lyndhurst in 1829, and his Lordship continued the injunction, but ordered the plaintiff to bring an action in the Court of Common Pleas against the defendant, the defendant admitting that he had sold the copyright of the first work to the plaintiff. Upon the trial of the action the Learned Judge directed a case to be made for the opinion of the Court; the case was argued, and the full Court of the Common Pleas came to the unanimous opinion that there was no piracy. The result, therefore, was in favour of the defendant. He had been kept from selling his book from 1829 until the present time, and the Learned Counsel considered it to be a matter of course that the injunction should now be dissolved. Sir E. SucnErt, Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER, and Mr. WRIGHT, were for the plaintiff. They contended there had been a miscarriage in the judgment of the Learned Judges below, and the question of piracy or no piracy bad not been tried at all, and that there ought now to be another case directed for the opinion of the Court of King's Bench. Mr. Archbold had sold the King's Bench Practice to Mr. Sweet, and before their client could get his second edition out, the defendant had published his Common Pleas Practice, in which he had inserted no less than 500 pages out of the 600 which constituted the work on the practice of the Court of King's Bench. The arguments were proceeding when we left. SIR EDWARD SUODEN'S CHANCERY PRACTICE.-Sir Edward Sugden, after this week, will leave t h e Laid Chancellor's bar, and confine himself to p aetising before his Honour, the Vice Chancellor. The learned gentle man means also to withdraw from the House of Lords' practice. He will only go out of the Vice-Chancellor's Court on special briefs. It is however erroneous to believe, as has been reported, that this change is occa sioned in consequence of any misunderstanding be tween the Lord Chuncellor and Sir Edward. The fact is, it has long been in contemplation by Sir Edward. It has been with him purely a question of pounds, shillings, and pence. It has had nothing to do with political feelings. He has not been sufficiently employed by having confined himself, as he has done, to practising in the Lord Chancellor's Court, although he has appeared as Counsel in almost every case. He considers that much more business is got through in his Honour's Court, and that there he will have more scope, and be more usefully and effectually occupied. All know full well, that in whatever Court be does appear, his extraordinary knowledge and unlimited acquirements must secure him full practice. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE WILSON'S CHARITY. This case came before the Court upon the petition of two freemen of the city of London, named Smith and Edwards, praying for a reference to the Master for the future management of the Charity. By the statements in the petition, it appeared that in the year 1766 a gen tleman of the name of Wilson, by his will gave 20,0001. to the Lord Mayor, the two senior Aldermen, the Recor der, and Chamberlain of the city of London, whom he constituted trustees, for the purpose of lending it out in BUM of not less than 1001., or more than 300/., to young men who had set up in trade, one year or not more than two, either in the city of London, or within three miles of it, upon their giving satisfac tory security. The money was not to be lent for a longer term than five years, one per cent. being paid as interest for the first, and two per cent. for each year after wards, and the interest to be paid regularly every half year to the Chamberlain of London. The testator also directed that the unemployed capital should be placed out by the Lord Mayor and the other trustees in Government Securities, but in such a manner as not to impede his primary intention. The interest arising from the money lent, together with that laid out in Government Securities was to be employed, in the first instance, to the payment of 401. to a clerk in the Chamberlain's office to keep the accounts, and the residue was to be added to the principal, to wake up any loss that might take place, or towards increasing the capital. No money was to he lent except under the order and direction of the Lord Mayor and the other trustees, who were to hold certain periodical meetings, to effectuate the trust for doing which the testator requested each trustee present to ac cept half a guinea. No person, on applying for the ass,st ance pointed out by the testator's will, was to be refused on account of his religious persuasion, provided he was a Protestant, and did not keep an ale-house or gin-shop. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who, with Mr. ANDER now, appeared for the petitioners, stated that, great losses having been occasioned in respect of the loans made in pursuance of the trust, it was some time ago resolved, by the then Lord Mayor, and the other trustees, that ,the loans should be limited to 100/, and that four securities should be bad. That course, the Learned Counsel pub - mitted, was not in accordance with the will of the testa tor, and ought not to be adopted. The meetings of the trustees had been merely formal, though they had taken care to have the half guinea. The accounts of the Charity, notwithstanding 401. had been paid yearly to a clerk in the Chamberlain's office, had not been properly kept and audited, and added to all this, there were large balances both in the hands of the Chamberlain and the trustees. The Learned Counsel did not for a moment at tempt to impute corrupt motives to the Lord Mayor and the other trustees, but the only object of the petitioners was to lay the history of the Charity and its management before the Court, in order to have its opinion whether the Charity ought in future to be carried on as it had been for some time past, which, to say the least , was directly contrary to the intentions of the testator. Mr. ANDERDON followed on the same side, and de signated the course pursued by the trustees as a gross breach of trust towards a most important, meritorious, and valuable charity. The VICE-CHANCELLOR could not agree with the Learned Counsel that charities of the description now in question were so valuable or important as he believed them to be. For himself, he could say that he was once a trustee for such a charity, and it never flourished but whe❑ it was not used. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the Court would admit there were some good traits about the charity, for instance, it did not extend to the setting up of ale houses or gi❑ shops. Sir EDWARD SUODEN, who, together with Mr. RAN DALL, appeared for the Lord Mayor and the other trustees, begged to express the thanks of his client to Messrs. Harvey and Yates for bringing them before the Court. As to who the two petitioners were they were left in the dark, all that was known of them being that they were freemen of the City, one residing at Blackheath, and the other in Salis bury-square. He would frankly admit that in some cases, occurring now and then, petitions like the present would do some good ; but in a case like the one now before his Honour, such a petition deserved the reprobation of every Court into which it was introduced, the object of it being plainly costs, and those alone. Never was there a case in which there existed slighter foundation for the interpo sition of the Court. The petitioners had only acted upon information and belief, and in almost every allegation had come to a conclusion which could be rebutted by the of Friend, e lklr. Anderdon, had complained of the meeting trustees upon affidavit. It was a in stake to ' te iol that the trustees had refu , ed to lend larger sot/. of 1001. They had been in the habit of lending 21""toti 3001. continually, and the trusts of the teltir-el will had been regularly carried into effect. Hi' L le t a i bef the trustees, to whose shame it was to be stated, t' a. had received their halkuineas. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL—They wear I,fir g - ‘ • ° and cannot take a motion, of course.—(Lauetter . / err . Sir E. SUGDEN—No, they wear serge, a nd ire, lo ge fore entitled to take motions, of course. As t° balances in their hands, be thought the Court w°°'-:Ctbe with him in thinking it necessary. There we re c i - if, Bl present moment no less than twelve applicants ; 8 , to 1)4 every time money was required, stock was obligeumior, sold out, gre it loss would be incurred. In ag ic • f oito the Learned Counsel trusted that the Court would di the petition with costs. t whe ° Mr. RANDALL was about to address the Curt' ffid °it His HONOUR intimated a wish to have such sis IP as had been adverted to by Sir Edward Sugden f t° 1 1tt 14. trustees, and ordered the matter to stand over Ib r for that purpose.
