" The expedition against Algiers is one of the objects Which principally engrosses the attention of our Cabinet Councils. If France, after having taken Algiers, were to manifest the intention of keeping a garrison in that town, or of even exercising a kind of protectorship on the African coast, it would not be astonishing if the Duke of Welling ton were to oppose it formally, and that a rupture should ensue. The Russian Cabinet seems also very attentive to What is passing in the Mediterranean ; but it appears dis- Posed to watch the course of events, in order to regulate its future conduct upon them. It is certain that Lord Aberdeen has had several conferences with Prince Lieven, to sound the intentions of Russia in regard to the French expedition, and to induce the Prince to adopt the views of the English Cabinet. But Lord Aberdeen having failed in hisfirst attempt, he has not made any new proposal. Our Minis try has very seriously recommended to the Pacha of Egypt to abstain from all participation in the French en terprise. Indeed, we could not view with indifference such great intimacy between France and the Pacha. For though peace and harmony now reign between the two neighbourin g Powers, a source of jealousy is still in fer ment ; and this may, sooner or later, produce a con test in which England would lose one of its principal advantages, if France had then entered on a system of ' l3 olonizstion, which is one of the main foundations of the British force and prosperity. But, after, all, Mehemet will probably reflect well before he allows himself to be :engaged_ by France in an alliance against the States of Barbary, especially after having received such pressing ex hortations from London."—National. The speech of M. de Bourmont, at Marseilles, appears to have been the object of an explanation between the English Ambassador and our Prime Minister, and in con ' sequence of which, it is said, the disavowal was sent to taisereThfineitiur. The article from the Aviso, which we puiffiehed yesterday, will doubtlessly cause another. t• The Russian squadron, it is said, will repair to the Sardinian coast, to observe the operations of the French expedition. England will also have a naval division of observation off Gibraltar ; and Admiral de Rigny will re main in the Archipelago, to prevent the Turks from send ing assistance to the Algerines.—Journal du Commerce. _ L. TUNIS, APRIL 29.—1 promised to write you imme diately on my arrival, and you see I keep my promise, by which I hope you will perceive the desire I have of obliging you, and no longer merit the reproaches you have so often made against me. I intend to keep for you alone a journal of every thing that is going on. I shall send it you regularly by every opportunity that offers. After a voyage of only about 30 hours, we anchored in the bay of Tunis, where a Government order directed us to go. Our Commandant immediately went on shore to oar Consul (M. Lesseps), accompanied by myself and all the officers en board. We were presented to the Consul, who, with his lady, received us in the most flattering man ner; but while we entered into conversation with Madame Lesseps and her children, the Commandant went with the Consul into an adjoining apartment, where they held a conference of nearly an hour. The Consul sent a servant to show us the town, and to serve as an interpreter. Our Commandant, and all the superior officers were presented to the Bey by M. Lesseps. The Bey appears to favour the French very much : he received us with great marks of attention at his country residence near the town. After our visit to the Bey, we returned to the Consul's to dinner, where we met the English and several other foreign Corm's. It is said the Bey requested this party might take place to endeavour to cement more strongly the friendship of the representatives of the two countries. The Dey expects us with the greatest confidence, and has threatened to ravage the country of the Bey of Tunis as soon as he . has exterminated the French : he calls him a renegado— a Frenchman, in fine. The Bey of Tunis, who has more confidenc e in the French army than in his enemy's, has redoubled his attachment for France, and has also, it is said, refused to accede to the propositions of the Dey of Algiers, which were sent here a few days ago by an Ambassador, on board , a Sardinian vessel. It is said that it is within a very short time that the c; Bey of Tunis is sa well inclined towards the French. I .Lhave heard here that the . Grand Seignor desired the Bey of 1 , . Timis to assist the. Dey of Algiers ; but it appears our Consul got information of these plots, and has acted so well, tbat.the Bey of Tunis has determined to observe a Perfect neutrality : since which our Consul has gained still More the confidence of the ,Bey, as we ourselves perceived by the kind reception he gave us, and by the respect he showed to M. Lessees.

The following Bulletin was issued this morn , ing " Windsor Castle, May 15. " The KING has had some refreshing sleep, and his JIBTY feels himself rather better." (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY. A Cabinet Council is summoned to be held at the ,Foreign Office this evening. German Papers have been received this morn but their contents are unimportant. It is a bad sign in the Church when Digni taries, IA ho, as regards their own conduct, stand upon somewhat tender ground, appeal to the public in a strain of such rank Puritanism as that of the Bishop of LONDON in his Sunday-Letter. The Bishop is a man who, if he could, would annoy society, in the name of the Church, to an unbearable extent ; and though zeal for his pro fession is alway s in a Clergyman praiseworthy, it is, nevertheless, right that it should be tempered by that sound discretion, the absence of which makes zeal alone not only ridiculous, but often highly mischievous to the very cause in which it is engaged. The — institution of Sunday is, in itself, so great a bl essing, that if the Church had done nothing else for mankind than to have ordained and perpetuated its observance, it would have entitled itself to gratitude as for a benefaction of the highest kind. It is true that the Church never intended, for i ns i sted, for centuries that the day fixed for Ch r i st i an worship and relaxation Should be observed with the same forms or tir same rigour as the Jewish Sabbath, which was one of the many ceremonies of a religion, whose forms Christians regard as superfluous, but it instituted Sundays and holidays as days on which labouring people should be exempt from work, should attend the service of the Church, and indulge in any amusements not contrary to law. The holidays, as interfering too much with industry, fell gradually into disuse, and this may, perhaps, have contributed to the prevalence of a notion among. some Divines, that it was necessary to keep Sunday more strictly than of old. HALLAM tells us that it was not until 1595, fifty years after the Reformation, (which left the observance of Sunday exactly on the same footing as before it,) that a class of Sabba tarians sprung up, who attempted to make Sunday very nearly resemble the Jewish Sab bath, " interdicting not only the slightest action " of worldly business, but even every sort of " pastime and recreation ; a system which, once " promulgated, soon gained ground, as suiting " their atrabilious humour, and affording " new theme of censure on the vices of the " great :" and one of these Sabbatarians pre ferred charges against Bishop AYLMER for playing at bowls on Sundays. The high churchmen of those days divided the cant of the Sabbatarians, justly contending that the modern observance of the first day of the week was an ecclesiastical, and not a directly divine, institu tion, and in no degree more venerable in itself than other festivals, or than the season of Lent.l King JAMES the First, wishing to root out of the Church these atrabilious ministers, laid a trap for them, by ordering a declaration to be read in all churches, permitting all lawful recreations on Sundays after divine service, such as dancing, archery, May-game, morris-dances, and other usual sports, which declaration many of the Puri tanical Clergy refused to read, and were punished as they deserved. The dislike of the high churchmen which prevailed in the succeeding reign, contributed to the success of Puritanical principles—and the word Sabbath began to be used instead of Sunday. The Acts of Ist and 3d CHARLES I. were passed, for the better ob servance of Sunday, which however only prevent unlawful sports ; and subsequently the Act 29th CHARLES 11. c. 7, which now prohibits work being done on the LORD'S day, and for the vio lation of which our metropolitan Bishop threatens his flock with eternal perdition. His Lordship, indeed, goes far beyond the provisions of this puritanical Statute, and directs his thunder against wherries, omnibuses, and short-stages, which have escaped the wrath of the Puritans. It would be in vain for us to attempt to avert the Episcopal fulminations, but we cannot help wishing his Lordship would amuse himself with playing bowls on Sundays, like the high-church men of the good old times, for he might pos sibly thereby work off some of the atrabilious humours with which, in common with the Puri tans, his Lordship is unhappily filled. We are strongly disposed to suspect the inte grity of purpose of those who are over anxious to burthen the people with forms and cere monies, and to censure popular amusements on any other ground than those of their actual im naor&lity. We see no reason why enjoyments which are innocent in themselves should be 'de barred from the multitude on the only day on which they have time to taste them. Locomo tion on a Sunday is, in truth, rest, to those who are enjaged in sedentary or mechanical occupa tions the rest of the week, and to say that there is any scandal in the population taking the opportunity of the day of rest, to emerge from the confinement of a crowded metropolis into the fresh air of the environs, is almost as malevolent as it is absurd. We do not scruple to say that it would be, in many points of view, desirable that the Picture Galleries, the Panoramas, and the British and other Museums, if not the Theatres, should be open on Sundays, as they are every where on the Continent. But if the fastidiousness of the Church is opposed to an alteration which would add so greatly to the happiness of the people, let it not think to suc ceed in wresting from them the few sources of enjoyment which they now possess. The Bishop who lives in luxury and indolence may think there is virtue in " Hanging up his cat on Monday, " For killing of a mouse on Sunday ;" but we recommend him to abstain from publish ing any more pamphlets upon this topic. There are other and far more effectual means of mend ing the morals of the inhabitants of London, than the Sunday discipline p ro p ose d by the Bishop, nor is his Phillippic, in any one way, calculated to improve society, or to make us better men, or better Christians.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY._ EX-PARTIC LONGMAN IN RE HURST, ROBINSON, AND CO., BANKRUPTS The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that in this matter, which stood for judgment, Longman and Co. had proved a debt against the estate of John Hurst and Ogle Robin son, to the amount of 19,0001., and that the application to the Court was, that the proof of this debt might be or dered- to be transferred to the estate of Thomas Hurst, John Hurst, and Ogle Robinson.. It appeared that Thos. Hurst was a partner in the house of Longman and Co., the partners in which house dissolved partnership cn the Ist of December, 1825. All their accounts were settled at that time, and 37,000/. was paid over to Thee. Hurst, as his share of interest in the concern. At this period con sequently there was an end to Thomas Hurst's connection with that concern. Thomas Hurst afterwards became a partner (on the Ist of January, 1826), in the house of John Hurst and Ogle Robinson. It was not known im mediately sthat he was a partner in that house. In about a fortnight after he became a pa:tner in that house the firm suspended its payments. It was expected that they would be able to resume their payments, but they were not, and they ultimately became bankrupts. Before the dissolution of the partnership of Longman and Co., Thomas Hurst made use of the part nership name without the knowledge of his partners, to a very considerable extent, in making promissory notes, and also in accepting Bills of Exchange. This was not discovered till after he had retired from the partnership, the accounts bad been settled, and he had re ceived his share of interest in the concern. Those bills never entered into the settlement of the accounts between him and his partners. Longman and Co. were after wards under the necessity of discharging those liabilites. Under such circumstances there could he no doubt that as between Thomas Hurst and the other partners of the house of Longman and Co., there was a claim to the ex tent of those bills, and payments against Thomas Hurst. The question was, as to the manner in which the produce of those bills had been applied ? A part of it, according to the evidence to be collected from the affidavits (which, however, did not satisfactorily clear up the whole trans action) appeared to have been applied for the accommo dation of Thomas Hurst himself ; another part was un doubtedly applied for the accommodation of John Hunt and Ogle Robinson. But after carefully looking through the affidavits, the Court could not find that there was any evidence to lead it to the conclusion that any of the produce had been applied for the joint purposes of Thomas Hurst, John Hurst, and Ogle Robinson, which would have rendered them jointly liable. Thomas Hurst was liable to the full extent; John Hurst and Ogle Robin son might be liable to some extent, but to what extent would be extremely difficu't to ascertain. Thus the tran saction stood, ind.pendently of four counter promissory notes, each to a considerable amount. There was much intricacy about the counter promissory notes as far as re garded. John Hurst, Thomas Hurst, and Ogle Robinson ; but it did net appear that the transaction respecting them in any way varied the liability upon the former transac tions. According to the present state of the evidence, the Court could not feel justified in ordering the transfer of I, the proof ; but as it was highly probable a very different , l apperance might be given to the transactions Thomas Hurst were fully examined before the Commissidners, his I Lordship declined finally disposing of the matter until Thomas Hurst shall have undergone a thorough examina tion before the Commissioners. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. TYLER V. DRAYTON. Mr. SIDEBOTHAM this morning addressed the Court on the part of Mr. Drayton, following Mr. HORNE and Mr. KNIGHT. It was his duty to vindicate the character and conduct of Mr. Drayton, if vindication it required, in the transactions which had taken place in this cause. In those transactions Mr. Drayton had the honour of being asso ciated with one of the most able, honourable, and learned, Members of their bar. For his own part, he considered the character of Mr. Drayton completely vindicated and free from imputation in every point of view. The case made on the record was composed of the most scandalous charges, which the Counsel on the opposite side had en deavoured to support by evidence, but that very evidence, and the statements of the Learned Counsel themselves, had in his mind completely thrown that case overboard which they attempted to make out—their evidence had been completely falsified. The principal point laboured on the other side was the imbecility of this young man, which the plaintiff's own evidence had proved to be entirely without foundation. It was his intention to take that view of the subject which would lead to a legal and dispassionate con sideration of the question. The Court in the exercise of its jurisdiction in cases of this kind, founded upon three branches; the case of fraud, that of accident, and mistake, and also the policy of the law as adminis tered in a Court of Equity. With the two latter, the parties in the owe had nothing to do, anti the question was . had the plaintiff made out a case of fraud ? In order to make this out, it was not sufficient to throw a vast number of circumstances together and say if one does not consti tute fraud another did, but it must be established that every circumstance connected with the case had its birth is fraud. Now here it was quite clear that Mr. Drayton had no knowledge on the subject of this property with which he was dealing, but whathad been previously communicated to Griffiths Jenkins, nay all the material knowledge he had was derived from and communicated through Griffiths Jenkins, but one witness, produced, now attempted to say that there was one material circumstance which Mr. Drayton knew of with respect to the property that was not communicated to him by Griffith Jenkins, except in deed with respect to the witness Perry, a witness' whom the parties attacked while they were bringing forward his evidence. This creditable witness had taken upon himself to sly that Mr. Norwood told him that he had been into Wales that he bad seen this property, and that he thought it was worth 20,000/. Now it had been shewn by his Learned Friend, Mr. Knight, that whatever information Norwood obtained he bad obtained on the agent of Griffith Jen kins ; anti was it to be supposed that Perry, his greatest friend, should conceal facts front Jenkins which he instantly communicates to others. There was no ground whatever for saying that the suppresslo 'seri, or the genero falsi existed in this case, nor could it be said, as he submitted, that undue influence had been exercised. It was to be re membered that no relation existed between the parties at the time of the contract being entered into in 1807. Mr. Drayton did not fill any of those relative characters which prevented the parties from dealing together according to the law of a Court of Equity. True it was that a friend ship existed at the time of the transaction that took place in 1816. But then Griffith Jenkins was a free and well informed party at the subject of that contract. Several interviews took place before that contract was finally com pleted ; the contract was not made without great precau•• tion, nor without deliberation on the part of Griffith Jen kins. The first sum offered by Mr. Drayton (5001.) was refused by Jenkins, Mr. Drayton at that time observing that the title was in great. obscurity, and that he could not afford to give that sum for the property, which would ruin him should tke title turn out good for nothing ; afterwards a largersum was offered, which, after consideration,was accept ed by Jenkins. After the contract was signed, but before any conveyance was executed, it occurred to Mr. Drayton that possibly Jenkins might not have truly represented the whole to Mr. Bevan, and he said, I will therefore not complete the contract, unless but in Mr. Bevan or Jenkins', presence; that interview it was sworn took place, every thing appeared satisfactary, and the Seeds were then prepared. Now if it could be clearly proved that Mr. Drayton had given this consideration for this property, knowing at the time that it was for the perprres of debauchery (which he, the Learned ' Counsel, was sorry ta say was often the case with young men of dissipated habits), then let the contract go to the flogs, and the character of Mr. Drayton might accompany it. But the converse of this bad been proved to be the case. Now, what was the object of Jenkins's selling this pro perty? A most laudable one. In the first place, he felt great anxiety to repay Perry a debt of 2551. He also wished to procure his discharge from the army, and he felt a strong desire to go to the East Indies, for the purpose of obtaining a livelihood there. No imputation could beattach able to Mr. Drayton. If he found the means of carrying such objects into effect. The debt of Perry was paid ; it was true that his discharge was not obtained, because it was found to be a matter not quite so easy of accomplishment as had been imagined. Jenkins was not discharged till INS ; the money furnished had been spent by Jenkins, and Mr. Drayton was actually obliged to furnish money for the purchase of Jenkins' disc Large out of his own pocket. The Learned Gentleman concluded by an elobo rate speech, contending that the bargain was honourable, aid ought, therefore, to be confirmed. Mr. PIPTS appeared for Mr. Serjeant Wilde, whose name had been placed on this record as a defendant, and on that Learned Gentleman's part he had to request the Court would allow him personally to explain the part he had taken in this transaction. The VICE-CrussroELLoa could not see bow he could consistently accede to that application. He begged it might be understood that his refusal was founded on grounds not at all personal to the defendant, whose cha racter was so high in the profession. Every disposition had been shown by the Counsel on the other side to treat the Learned Counsel with respect and delicacy; and when he (the Vice-Chancellor) considered the able hands in which the Learned Serjeant had entrusted his case, he could not see any necessity for breaking through the rules by which the Court was governed. Mr. PErrs thought that the peculiarly delicate situa tion in which the Learned Serjeant stood, would have in duced the Court to have given him that indulgence. The SOLICITOR.-GENERAL said, no one could feel more respect than he did for the Learned Serjeant, and he should leave the Court to decide upon the request of Mr. Pepys, without saying one word: The YIeErCHANCELI:OII thought it his duty to adhere to the rule of the Court. Justice must be dealt Out with an even hand to every one, whether great or small. As an individual, he should be most happy to hear the Learned Serjeant, but his duty as a Judge Obliged him, as the Learned Serjeant had retained Counsel, to refuse the application. Mr. PEPYS could not see what could prevent the Learned Serjeant from appearing as his own Counsel. The VICE-CIfAIWELLOR, when he considered with whom the case of the Learned Serjeant was entrusted, felt no doubt in saying he could not consistently hear him argue his own case. He could not see how Mr. Serjeant Wilde could give the Court any explanations that could not be given by his Counsel. Mr. PEPYS proceeded to address the Court on the part of Mr. Serjeant . Wilde, contending that by the record the plaintiff was entitled to no relief against his client. The Learned Counsel was proceeding when our Re porter left. MOST EXTRAORDINARY CASE. o'clock. (Abridged from the Shrewsbury Chronicle.) The circumstance of a man, calling himself Robert Fisher, being found tied to a gate near the Chapel Ash turnpike, close to Wolverhampton, in Feb. 1829, and the subsequent detection of his imposture, will no doubt be in the recollection of our readers. A servant of Mr. J. Tarratt's was passing along the road about nine in the evening, and found the man bound with cords to the gate; he had a severe blow on his right eye and forehead, with a large piece of brown paper rolled tightly together, in his mouth, and fastened with two strings attached to it, at the back of his head. The statement he gave of himself was, that he was a native of Oswestry, and by trade a joiner. He said he resided in London, but had been down to Oswestry to see his friends, and was upon his return house; on reaching the village of Tet tenhall, two miles from here, he went to the Rose and Crowir to refresh himself, and staid there until half-past eight, the night being dark and foggy. When he came near the gate where he was found, (which is within '250 yards of the turnpike and seve ral houses), a man overtook him, and he had scarcely time to perceive indistinctly that one or two others were in his company before he received a blow across the face from a stick or other weapon, which brought him to the ground, and inflicted the wound on his eye. He was stunned by the blow, and whilst he lay in that insensible state was fastened to the gate, &c.; he added that the men had rifled him of two sovereigns and thirteen shillings in silver, a bundle of clothes, a case of drawing instru ments, and two books, but could give no description of the persons who had robbed and bound him, on account of the dark ness of the night. Such was the statement this man gave of the transaction, and his case exciting commiseration, a subscription was immediately raised for him, but the publicity of the situa tion, and some variation between him and the account given by the landlord of the Rose and Crown, having excited suspicion, inquiry was made at Oswestry, when it turned out that no person of his name or description was a native of that place, or had ever been known there ; and at the same time a communica tion was received from the Rev. Mr. Dale, of Donnington, that the same person had, immediately before, been at the same prac tices in the neighbourhood of Bridgenorth. In fine, the com plete detection of this artful impostor took place, and before he could be apprehended he decamped. At the late Lancaster Assizes, two men and a woman, of the names of Paul Rigby, and James Grimes, and Mary Grimes, were convicted of a. -highway robbery on the 23d of February W.; upon tilr name of Robert Stanley. From the report of the case which appeared in the Papers, it seemed that the prosecutor represented himself as a joiner, residing in Os westry, but was on his way to the north ; and that about six in the evening of Shrove Tuesday he stopped at a public-house about four miles from Lancaster. Having taken some refresh ment, he proceeded towards Lancaster, and arrived within three parts of a mile of the place, when, a little after seven o'clock, he met a woman, dressed in a dark-coloured cloak and light bonnet, who asked him for some half-pence, speaking with a broad Ir ish accent. He told her he had nothing for her, and she passed on ; he then saw that there were close behind her two men, one of whom struck him a blow on the cheek with a stick. After a short struggle he received another blow on the fbrehead, which brought him to the ground, and rendered him insensible. About eight o'clock two men and a young woman saw the prosecutor lying on the road, apparently drunk or asleep; at length they discovered that his hands were fastened with wire to one of the bars of the gate. A light was then procured—the wire was de tached f r om the gate, and the prosecutor being insensible, was carried to the nearest house. There his cravat was taken off; and it was found that a quantity of wire, similar to that with which his hands had been fastened, was twisted tight about his neck— of course it was immediately taken off; and the prosecutor, after great care had been bestowed upon him, came to himself in about an hour. He then stated that his money, his watch, and two amain bundles, containing wearing apparel, had been taken out of his pocket. As the night was dark he could not identify the per sons who attacked him, and could only say they resembled the pri soners at the bar. To prove that the prisoners were the parties by whom the robbery was committed, a great mass of circum stantial evidence was adduced, which raised as strong a presumis tion of guilt as was, perhaps, ever afforded by such a description of testimony, and the prisoners were all found guilty. At the conclusion of the business at the Crown Bar, Mr. Justice Park passed sentence of death upon the two male prisoners, and the woman was ordered for transportation. They protested their in nocence, but so strong were appearances against them that Mr. Justice Park implored them not to suppose such an asseveration would be of any avail, for that .‘ if they were innocent there was no reliance to be placed on human testimony." He concluded by feelingly exhorting them to prepare for eternity, and appointed the day for their execution. Particulars of this case were report ed in the Shrewsbury chronicle, and meeting the eyes of the principal inhabitants of Oswestry, who had never heard of such a person as the prosecutor living there, the conduct of the im poster Fisher at Wolverhampton, rushed to their recollection, and created a powerful suspicion that the prosecutor may possibly be the same person, and the prisoners the victims of his perjury. Doubts instantly led to inquiry, and inquiry to certainty that no such person as Robert Stanley, joiner, had ever lived in Os westry. The information was promptly communicated to Mr. Justice Park, and a respite was immediately granted by that Learned and Humane Judge until the 21th of next month. In the mean time, ir. consequence 'of a communication from Mr. Longueville, ci Oswestry, to Messrs. Holvoake and Robinson of Wolverhampton, Diggory, one of the police-officers, who was well acquainted with the person of Fisher, and with all the circumstances of his impostures here, was sent to Lancaster. He returned to Wolverhampton on Thursday last, and from his statement there appears the strongest presumption of the. prosecutor and the man who called himself Fisher being one and the same person, and of the prisoners being the victims of the most diabolical perjury. The identity of the party from description is of course too imperfect to be alone of much weight ; but it seems that the prosecutor left Lancaster on the 18th by a coach to Liverpool, and the following day the chaplain of the gaol at Lancaster received a letter bearing the Liver pool post-mark of the 18th, and stating that the prisoners were innocent. The most extraordinary part of the case, however, yet remains to be stated. When the prisoners were taken before Admiral Tatham, the Magistrate who committed them, it seems that the Admiral in quirad of the prosecutor the name of some respectable inha bitant of Oswestry to whom lie could apply for the prosecutor's character, and that Stanley replied he was known to the Rev. Mr Yenables, the minister at Oswestry. Admiral Tatham ad dressed a letter accordingly, and received in due course the fol lowing answer, bearing Oswestry post-mark, March 6 : (COPY OF LETTER.) Oswestry, March sth, 1810.

RYE ELECTION.-(THIS DAY.) The Committee met again this morning at eleven Mr. HAnnisow said, agreeable to the resolution of yes terday, he slioidd now proceed to prove to the Commit tee, that all persons who had been resident inhabitants of Rye, and paying scot and lot for a year and a day, were entitled to demand being admitted freemen, and in conse quence entitled to vote at the election of Members to serve in Parliament. The Learned Counsel, in support of this claim, read several extracts from charters granted in the reigns of Edward 111., Henry VII., and Elizabeth, and contended that the word baron and freeman of the Cinque Ports was synonimous. . . . . Mr. WiLmoT fIORTON wished to know whether it was intended to bring forward for the decision of the Committee a question as to whether the sons of non-resident freemen were entitled to vote. Mr. HARRISON said, if the Committee decided whether or not strangers, after a year's residence, were entitled t' their freedom, it would be unnecessary to ge into that in quiry, because no one who did not reside in the borough could vote. Mr. HARRISON then called Mr. James Miller, who stated that ke had been an attorney at Rye four years. He knew Mr. Holland ; be was a householder in that borough, and paid scot and lot; his vote was refused at the last election. Mr. ADAM said they bad other cases which they could bring, where similar refusals had been made, which, if desired by the other side, he would bring forward. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE said, he had no such wish. Os behalf of Mr. Pusey, after the resolutions of yesterday, he felt no interest in any future proceedings in this very sin gular • case. The Committee had decided, that IS votes ought to havebeen added to the poll, this was sufficient to give Colonel Evans a majority. He should therefore be glad if all who claimed to vote were added. It was of no use to his client to discuss the subject further, and he in consequence ha's withdrawn himself from all other proceedings. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Com mittee remained in deliberation two hours ; after which Lord PALMERSTON said it was the opinion of the Com mittee that all persons of good repute that had been resi dent householders of Rye, paying scot and lot for one year and one day, were entitled to vote at the election of Members to serve in Parliament for that part. Evidence was then given to chew that a sufficient number of persons coming under this description, had ten dered their votes for Colonel Evans, which, had they not been rejected, would have given the Colonel a majority on the poll. The admissibility of these persons (under the resolu tion that the Committee had come to) not being disputed; The Committee declared " That Colonel Evans had been duly elected to serve as Member of Parliament for the Port of Rye, and that the election and return of Phillip Pusey, Esq. was null and void." By the decision of the Committee the right of all resi dent householders, paying scot and lot for a year and a day, to vote at all elections is established.

(From the Times ) Not merely from the language of the Bulletins, but from other sources, we have reason to believe that the demise of the Crown is vgry near. The bodily sufferings of his MAJESTY are stick as to have extinguished in the Royal mind all desire to live. His MAJESTY, in the inta.rvals of pain, is perfectly tranquil, and prepared for the result, of which he is fully aware. (From the London Medical Gazette.) We regret to say that his A/LA.I7ISW/ health hie not improved; the continued disturbance of the circulating and respiratory systems has new been for some time asso ciated with dropsical effusions, and the hope held out, at an earlier period, that the attack might prove transient, is thus removed. About ten days ago the operation of punc turing the legs was performed by Mr. Iletoorx, who has since frequently visited his MAJISTY. Scarification had previously been practised by Mr. O'Rxtr.r.v. As other reports have been industriously eirculatid, we may take the opportunity of stating that Mr. BRODII is the only one whose assistance it has been deemed expedient to have recourse to in addition to that of his MAJnrry's ordinary attendants. The circumstances which gave rise to the report that Mr. WARDROP had beers sent for, consisted in his having seen his MAJESTY en one occasion, when on a professional visit to one of the Isouseheld. (nom the Court Journal.) The following statement comes to us from so high a quarter, that we cannot refuse to lay it before our readers. In doing so, however, we must distinctly state our belief that it is without due foundation. We think so partly because the statement is at variance with those which we derive from our own regular sources of information ; bet chiefly because ate are of opinion that no conceiveable cir cumstances could justify the step in question. The state ment we have received is as follows:—A short time back it was deemed necessary that an intimation should he given to a Great Personage, of the very critical state ha which he was, and of which he seemed to have no con ception. • Cabinet was called, and after several of the Members had declined the painful and hazardous tdfice tlf breaking the intelligence to the Royal Patient, she Duke of W. came forward and undertook it. He went down to W. the same afternoon (on a Saturday), and, in as de licate a manner as the subject admitted, acquainted the Royal Sufferer that his medical attendants had not felt justified in concealing from the Cabinet that there were alarming symptoms about his ease. The Royal Patent immediately replied, with great limper and fortitude— " He was perfectly resigned to whatever Ake Divine Pro vidence might will. The only asziety be felt wee to he spared from any severe sufferings, as bodily pain, he con. fessed, was what lie had through life dreaded, and been unable to sustain with patience." He added, " That be felt his Grace had discharged a most painful but indis pensable duty, in a manner for which he most cordially thanked him." FASHIONABLE INTELLIGIIIM ARRIVALS.'

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I have read in your very intelligent Journal of this day your article about the Shipping Interest, &c., and must say it deserves well the attention of Ministers and the country in general, and with some I spoke with on 'Change to-day, before seeing your Journal, it was the sub ject of discussion—to take off the Hemp Duty altogether, as a relief to the shipowners, or shipping iaterast. If the revenue it yields cannot be spared, it could easily be made up on some other thing. Tallow, for instance, at pre►ent only pays 3s. 21 per ewt.—it might easily bear 101. per cwt., and then would afford relief to the agricultural in terest, at present very much distressed, and greatly hurt by the large importations of foreign tallow at such a low duty, and which is at present selling bare about 34e. 6d. per cwt. (under Sid. per lb.), duty paid. I am, Sir, your roast obedient servant, Royal Exchange, tlay 14. A SHIPOWNER.
