lex," authorized everything that has been done, and that on that principle be founded the dictatorial authority which the Ministers have arrogated ; could this authority be extended beyond the circumstances which required it ? What are the circumstances which authorized the Government to create new offices, with new sala ries, to go on increasing them ad infinitum, even adding to them supernumerary expectants ? They pretended to reform the administration of justice, and created a much greater number of Ma gistrates; they have doubled the delay of judicial processes, and have made the inextricable labyrinth of forensic chicanery tenfold more entangled. Law yers as ignorant of the common law of the land, which they undertook to reform, as they were of that of the civilized nations which they copied with out understanding it, have furnished in the shameful law of the - of May of the present year a formal proof of their gross ignorance and utter incapability. Bits and scraps, torn by their clumsy hands from French codes, and then witched together in the same clumsy manner, without connection, without order, in a barbarous language, full of ambiguities and obscure phrases, and as ungrammatical as a very lay brother would write ; this is the law which these new Licurguses substitute in the place of our national legi , lation. Let them stand forth and dare to deny any ono of these accusations ; I am ready to maintain the truth of each and all of them. Still more scandalous is another of these pretended refo,rms; I mean the secular and regular clergy. No church stands more in need of reform than that of INlrtugal; but the commission was never given to such apostles, nor by such means was any gospel ever preached. It will be more than sufficient to mention only one name, and that is the name of Padre Marcos Soares Vas Preto, to whom the pub lic, in consequence of the formulary in which his curious decrees are drawn up, have given the name of the " Profaning Counsellor." The expression " We make profane," though it is not improper in a legal seine, will only serve to confirm the people in that odious falsehood that our enemies have cast upon us as Freemasons, in order to expose us to the execration of the ignorant people. The con- . . vents are " profaned." their rents are seized, the subsistence of the secular Clergy is withdrawn ; no provision is made for the maintenance of the incumbents; all this, and much more, we have seen under our own eyes. But where do we see any measure adopted or recommended for the moral or intellectual improvement of the clergy? Where do we see the canons, or the councils, or the fathers, invoked for such an interesting object ? Papaw habcmus Marcum. We have for Pope Padre Mar cos, the only authority which at present governs the Lu'itaniatj Church ! * * • &c. But let us cast a veil over this subject, lest the enemies of the cause become witnesses of all the -shameful doings concealed under this profanation of the sanctuary. As to the public treasury I shall only at present say, that we have a million of public officers, whose salaries will amount to many millions with many millions of debts and loans, without any money in the treasury. It would be an endless task to describe the gross ignorance of the Minister, of his friends, and of his agents. On a future occasion, when I re ceive the documents which I expect, I will enter upon this subject more at large, for the information of your Majesty. Nor are their inexperience and inability less shameful. If I speak thus freely to your Majesty, it is because, as I have said, I see that success to the Usurper's cause is now impossible. I see your Majesty at the head of a gallant army ; I see the brave Duke of Terceira, who, by the miracles which he performed, gave liberty to the capital; I see the intrepid Count de Saldanha, who in the lines of Oporto, under your Majesty's orders, broke the tri umphant baton of a Marshal of France, the con queror of Algiers ; I see the zealous students and volunteers of Villa da Praia, who might naturally be placed in official employments, not discouraged by such appointments being given to the loungers in Ministerial antichambers, still in the bivouacs to which honour called them. The cause of the Usurper is then impossible, and it is now necessary to save the Queen's. It is true that since I wrote the letter which I had the honour to submit to your Majesty, orders have been given to suspend the sale of the seques tered property, respecting which so many scandal ous and strange stories are in circulation among the -people. But what of the inquiry which must he e=taliished se to the manner and legality of the sales already made ? But let us attend to the state of our foreign re lations ; we are losing friends that we had in certain Cabinets, and gaining none; on the contrary, we are alienating the one that it is the most our interest to conciliate, and without which I look upon our suc cess as impossible. The legitimate Government of Spain, that of Donna Isabel 11., is anxious to form an union with the legitimate Government of Portu gal, that of Donna Maria II.; the cause is the same; the war which is desolating the western peninsula of Europe is a war against the government of order, and the party which seeks to live in idleness by the labour of others is the party of Don Carlos and of Don Miguel. Only let a Government be established in Lisbon that will guarantee a system of order, and it will be imme diately recognised by a similarly constituted Govern ment in Madrid; it is not by any difference in the form of Government that this salutary union has not been cemented ; it is because your Majesty's Go vernment opposes to it an invincible barrier through the discredit in which it is placed in the eyes of the nation and of Europe. The recognition of England and France is nothing more than a recognition de jut-c, because, in fact, not a single diplomatist accre dited to the Court of your Majesty can venture to breathe a secret of their Courts to your Majesty's Ministers, as they have no security that by the first packet it will not be divulged it► some one or other of the revolutionary journals of Europe, according as the private interests of your Majesty's Ministers and of their associates may dictate. In order, therefore, to remedy these evils, I humbly lay before your Majesty the following requests : " 1. That your Majesty will grant a full and general amnesty, with the sole exception of the Usurper. "2. That your Majesty will be pleased to remove all sequestration for political causes. "3. That in order for these measures to produce their proper eff ct, and to heal the evils which I have pointed out in the body of my letter, you will immediately dismiss the present Ministers, and nominate others who enjoy the confidence of the public. "4. That your Majesty will order to be put in force the project of the law of the press which had passed the House of Deputies in the last Cortes, and only wanted the approbation of the House of Peers and the sanction of the Executive to become the law of the laud, in order tha your Majesty may be informed of the opinion of the people." And the blessings of the Portuguese nation will accompany your Majesty. I am your Majesty's faithful subject, CONDE DA TAIPA, Peer of the Realm. MR WILBERFORCE'S WILL.—The will of the late William Wilberforce, Esq., has just been proved in the Prerogativ e Court of Canterbury, by the oaths of James Stephen, Able smith, and Robert Spooner, Esqrs. ' three of the executors. Joh n Th ornton , Es q ., th e ot h er executor appointed noder the will, not having thought proper to take upon hims e lf t h e probate, but has re• nounced his right to act. The p ersonal property has been sworn not to amount in value to 25,000/., nearl y the whole of which is directed to be divid e d i n equal propor tions among the surviving children of th e d eceased. A NEW NAME.—At the police cou r t , i n Boston, on Wednesday, a fellow Wag brought in, who while engaged in sawing wood, bad obstructed the centre of the street, so as to prevent the passage of wheel. carriages. When requested by a gentleman, m a chaise, to make room for him to pass, he refused, using at the seine time fery abusive language. In answer to a request for his name, he said, " my name is Jack-knock-him-stiff, and I'll give you a sample." The gentleman entered a complaint against him, under a recent city law, and the Court fined him one dollar and cost., by way of "sample." GERMAN PAPERS. FRANKFORT, Nov. 25 M. Tellier, Plenipotentiary of the Helvetic Confederation, who was sent to this city to negotiate respecting the Poles who had made their way into Switzerland, the object of which negotiation was to obtain a passage through the territory of the German Confederation, has again left us. His mission has ceased, because the French Government has declared itself willing allow the Polish refugees, who are in Switzerland, to pass through France, and embark in a French port. The German Confederation, also, which cannot but desire the removal of the Poles from Switzerland, had showed perfect readiness to promote their passage through its territory, and had even offered to provide the means of conveying them, and to defray the expense of their passage through the several states. Of course, how ever, it could not. do this till it was assured that the measure would he really carried into execution. The Diet therefore required the assurance that the Poles who had entered Switzerland should be really delivered up to it, which might have made it necessary for the canton of Berne to adopt suitable measures. The Swiss Confedera tion wz.s not able to give this assurance. But the tneans for their conveyance could not be provided on an uncertainty. Besides this, the Confederation was interested in the removal of all the Poles who had forced their way into Switzerland. It was also requisite for the Diet to be certain that the Poles, after having been conveyed through the territory of the Confederation, would be immediately received in that of the Netherlands, embarked in a Dutch port, and forwarded to the place of their destination. But this assurance, likewise, could not be obtained by the Confederation, which, in this case, was to be considered merely as the route through which the Poles should pass. Switzerland had solicited of the German Diet a passage for the Poles, that the latter might, at their option, proceed either to England or to America. The Swiss Confedera tion itself having thus set the example of limiting the destinatio❑ of the Poles, by proposing an alternative, the German Diet decided in favour of America, because it was, of course, to be desired that the measure should be executed in a way suitable to the object, and that it should not be too easy for the Polish fugitives to return to Germany. But neither Switzerland nor the Nether lands thought they could agree to such a restriction of the place of destination of the Poles, and so made it impossible for the German Diet to co-operate, with the desired readiness, in a measure which, as it considered the subject no longer calculated to promote the object, would have been followed by new inconveniences. We wish and hope that the Swiss Confederation may be able, by the means of amicable negotiations, now proposed, wholly to get rid of its unwelcome guests, and relieve Germany from the apprehension of being visited by them. SPIRES, Nov. 26.—1 t is said to be pretty certain that Dr. Ziebenpfeiffer is safe in France. It is declared that he escaped from Frankenthal in the evening, that lie travelled all night, and in the morning, Mote which his escape was not known in Frankenthal, had already arrived in the French territory by way of Weissenburg. It is much doubted whether the French Government will allow him to reside in that country ; at all events he will be sent to a distance from the frontier, as has hitherto been done with all the German fugitives. STUTTGARD, Nov. 25.—1 n the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to day, two notes were communicated from the Upper Chamber, stating that the resolutions of the Second Chamber, relative to the liberty of the Press, and the expenses of the Censorship, had not been assented to by the Chamber of Nobles. The Crown Prince of Prussia arrived here this after noon from Carlsrhue, to visit:our Royal Family.—Fsank. fort Papers, Nov. 27. ROME, Nor. 16.—0 n Tuesday a funeral sermo❑ was celebrated in the church of Monsenato for the King of Spain, when Mozart's Requiem was performed. The Pope has named the banker, Valentini, President of the Chamber of Commerce. We are assured by persons likely to be well informed, that the entire project of an Italian Congress is pure invention. The differences between the French and Papal troops at Ancona have been arranged. They originated in an oversight of the delegate. VIENNA, Nov. 23.—1 t is at length definitively settled that the Ministerial Congress of German affairs is to be held here. The period of its opening is left to the decision of the Prussian Cabinet. It is supposed it will take place in the last fortnight of December, and that invitations will be immediately forwarded to the German Courts.

The journey of the King has had a good effect, and the attachment of the people to his person has been rendered evident. He has been made acquainted with their true sentiments and their real wants. The arrests of the chieftains who had occasioned so much suf fering in the Peloponnesus during last sear was known, and the numerous addresses presented to the King all declared a hope that he would have the guilty parties im prisoned, and so prevent their being further mischievous. The King must have learned the desire of all cla:ses for a constitution, as well as the grounds for it. The best in clination ou the part of the Regent or the Sovereign can not make the men called to the Administration better than they are. Between them they will p'under the treasury and the people—they will torment and oppress—clouding the future both of the country and the throne, unless they are prevented by the strong provisions of a public law, which will give the people security, and the Sovereign assurance that the country will be governed according to his will. Never was greater oppression exercised than in the levying of tithes this year. The Regency has positive infor mation that its agent, in the collection of this tax, had kept back a considerable part of it so severely exacted to divide among themselves. ODESSA, Nov. 16.—An officer from the Imperial staff has arrived here with orders from the Admiralty, in constytence of which, some ships of war are to be fitted out for Sebastopol. Unusual bustle is remarked in the naval offices of the Black Sea, which never happens but in extraordinary emergencies, our Government uuderstand ing too well the interests of its finances, and that these will not be improved by naval equipments. It is reported that General Witt, hitherto Governor of Warsaw, is to have the command of the army of the South. The news from Constantinople continues good, which makes the fitting out of the navy more extraordinary. Trade with Constan tinople has become brisk and our productions are in demand. The Porte placed us in competition with Marseilles, but we are unfortunate enough to have the preference. The Porte is in want of considerable military supplies, and finds that we can furnish them at a cheaper rate than France. The last war with Mehemet Ali has been very serviceable to us. The Turkish Government gives our manufactures the preference, and pays ready money. Our commerce, as also our landed proprietors, have gained considerably, and we have to thank our Government for having so well seized the opportunity of making an open ing for our industry, which has prospered much since our troops were stationed at Constantinople. We hear that the French and English are annoyed at the treaty between our Government and the Porte, but we suppose little attention will be paid to this at St. Petersburgh, and that the present friendly intercourse with the Porte will be maintained.—Allgerneine Zeitung, Nov. 28. We regret to state that Lord Viscount Ex mouth expired last night at eight o'clock, from the effects of the scarlet fever, with which his Lordship had been at tacked about eight days. His Lordship, who was in his 47th year, was the eldest son of the late Right Hon. Viscount Exmouth, who died in January last. His Lord ship was a captiin in the Royal Navy, and one of his Majesty's naval Aides-de-Camp. His Lordship is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son, the Hon. Edwd. Pellew, now in his 23d year, in the civil service of the Hon. East India Company on the Bengal Establishment. Viscount Kingsland died last week, at the residence of bis fath,-r- in-law, J. W. Willis, Walcot-place, Lambeth. His Lordship was the sixth Viscount and Ba ron of Turvey, to which honours he succeeded on the death of his cousin, George, fifth Viscount, 1800. His Lordship has left, by a former marriage, an only son, the Hon. John Barnewall, now Viscount Kingsland. The late Lord enjoyed a pension on the Irish Civil List. HYTIIE.—Sir Kenneth Douglas, Bart., one of the Jurats of this town and port, departed this life, in London, on the 22d ult. The worthy Baronet was a Lieutenant-General and Colonel of the 58th, or Rutland. shire Regiment of Foot. He was better known as Briga dier-General Mackenzie, who, under the direction of the late General Moore, so effectually trained, at Hythe and Shorncliffe, the celebrated light brigade of the 85th British army, composed of the 43d and 52d regiments, and the then 95th, now Rifle brigade. Sir Kenneth became a Baronet about two years ago ; when on the death of a Scotch relative the name was changed, and an ancient Baronetcy, some time dormant was revived. The remains were interred in the family vault here, on Friday last. Sir Kenneth is succeeded in his title by his eldest son, Captain Robert Andrews Douglas, of the 12th Regiment of Foot.—Dover Telegraph. The Bank of Ireland is to advance the million required by Government to make up the de ficiency of Irish thins, and is to receive Exchequer bills bearing interest at three per cent., which are not to be put into circulation for three yeare.—lrish Paper. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1833, The French Papers of Monday have been received, hut they contain no later news from Madrid than the 24th of November. All the accounts from the North of Spain continue to be entirely favourable to the QUEEN'S cause. Everywhere the Carlists are beaten, pursued, and dispersed, or forced to seek shelter in the moun tains of Navarre. We may, therefore, conclude, that in a few weeks the QUEEN'S authority will be fully re-established throughout the whole Kingdom. It appears that the French Government are very busy in the military department—and it is supposed with reference to the proposed expe dition against Constantina ; but we hope they have a higher object.

In the German papers received this morning, we find two or three subjects for grave remark, The poor fugitive Poles, who sought refuge in Germany, are not likely to find a place of rest on this side the Atlantic, whither the Holy Alliance Despots, both great and small, are exceedingly anxious that they should proceed, in order that it might not be easy for the brave Poles to return to Germany. Thus does the vengeance of Russia pursue these unfor tunate patriots all over the continent, notwith standing the boasted assurances of France and England that the nationality of Poland should be respected I This is truly a bitter reflection on our national character, which it will not be easy for the most partial historian either to re move or palliate. It appears that the Chamber of Nobles at Stutgard has not agreed to the law respecting the liberty of the press which had been passed by the Deputies. This resolution on the part of their Lordships is of course in accordance with the high behest of the Congress of Mun chengrata. _ An article dated Vienna says, it is positively settled that a Ministerial Congress on German affairs is to be held there about the end of this month, and as Prussia is to take the lead, we may infer that the Congress bodes no good for the liberty of the press in Germany. But the most important intelligence in these papers is From Odessa. We learn that an officer of the Imperial Staff has arrived there with orders from the Russian Admiralty, to fit out a number of vessels of war with all necessary expedition. As the Russian Government is stated in the article, and we think with great truth, to understand too well the interests of its finances, such preparations are never made but upon extraordinary emergencies. Again, we are told that General WfTT, the Governor of Warsaw, is to have the command of the Army of the South. We thought Russia was at peace with all the world, and if so, where is the necessity, at this moment, of having an army on the frontiers of Turkey, under so significant an appellation as the Army of the South ? The last movement, or irruption, of the Russian army into the Turkish territories is admitted to have been so beneficial to the Russian interests in the vicinity of the Black Sea, that we presume the EMPEROR is impatient for another opportunity of repeating his visit, which, if once made, he will be in no hurry to return. That France and England may not like this sort of interference is well understood at St. Peters burgh, and it would seem the Emperor NICHO LAS is prepared for the alternative, for we have an intimation to that effect in the following insulting paragraph : " We hear that the French and English are annoyed at the treaty between our Government and the PORTE, hut we suppose little attention will be paid to this at St. Petersburgh." Truly,:if France and England can overlook such insolence as this, we think they richly deserve it. Annoyed, indeed ! at the rapacity of the most perfidious and grasping Government in Europe they well may be, but that little attention will be paid to their remonstrances, is past all endurance. Now does the folly—nay, the utter cowardice of their conduct, during the golden opportunity of Polish independence, stare them full in the face ! And for their for bearance then, are they now bearded with insult by the imperious, the overreaching tyrant of the North. But will the people of England and France submit to such policy? It is im possible. The commercial interests of England are too deeply compromised in the Mediterra nean for any Ministry to allow Russia to realise her present ambitious projects. At a public dinner given to General SHARPE by his Constituents at Dumfries on Friday last, after the General haJ satisfactorily explained the nature of his Parliamentary votes during the last Session, a Mr. NPDIARMID proposed the health of the LORD ADVOCATE of Scotland, and, in doing so, took the opportunity to ob serve, that the Reporters were in the habit of slurring over the speeches of the Scotch Mem bers generally." This is rank nonsense. The Reporters are in the habit of doing no such thing. The Sun, in particular, has invariably made a point of doing justice to every Hon. Member, no matter what be his country, or what his politics. The Boston Herald is pleased to charge us with inconsistency, because we call for reduction of taxation, and at the same time say that the repea 1 of the Malt Tax would be of no service to the people without a free importation of foreign barley. We contended that— " When there is an average crop of barley, the price is not materially affected by the tax upon malt, for the de mand being greater than the supply, the competition of buyers raises the price till it becomes so high that foreign barley crimes in at a low duty. As long as foreign barley is prevented from coming in till the home price haw reached the limit assigned it by the landowners, it is clear that the demand will make it reach this limit, whether the home duty on malt be taken off or remain on. To take off the duty will, therefore, be putting so much into the pockets of the landlords, unless other b irley come in to prevent malt selling at its present price." How does the Boston Herald controvert this argument ? By telling us that English barley is now selling as low as 265. a quarter !" Now we find upon referring to The Sun of last Saturday, which contains the corn markets of the whole country for the preceding week, that although there was English barley selling " as low as 265. a quarter," and some even lower, ye t that there was some selling as high as 375. a quarter—just eleven shillings more ; no trifle per quarter, as any of his farming friends will inform our contemporary. Again, on reference to our paper of Monday, he will see that at the Wakefield market, on 29th November, the barley of his own county sold at from 30s. to 335. per quarter ; or, if he looks to the Corn Exchange report, that the prices of barley on board ship on that day stand thus— Barley Grinding 271. to 301. Malting The last being the article under discussion, a little candour would have prevented our con temporary making the assertion he has ; and, after all, the lower he shows prices to be under the corn laws, the more he proves their useless ness. Their object was to produce high prices : the farmers say they do not have that effect; then for heaven's sake let us get rid of what you admit to be a gratuitous piece of injustice. We yesterday gave a tolerably long account of a trial in the Court of Exchequer, entitled " picas v. Lord Brougham." It was curious in several points of view; it was curious as an action brought for an alleged injury received in the execution of a judicial sentence ; but more especially was it curious as brought by an officer of the Court over which the CHANCELLOR presides. Of the power of the CHANCELLOR to commit the plaintiff for the kind of contempt of which he was guilty,—namely, refusing to obey a legal order of the Court—there cannot be the smallest shadow of a doubt. It is difficult to con ceive that Mr. DICA s, an attorney of long practice, in the Court of Chancery, was ignorant of this power being in his Lordship. What then could be his motive for running his head against a stone wall of his own raising ? It is clear that he strongly desired to retain the papers lie was ordered to give up, and was induced by some reason or other to refuse (so say the affidavits in the Secretary of Bankrupts' Office) to give up their possession. A letter, written to the LORD CHANCELLOR, after he had been committed for contempt, contains the following passage ;-- I have no other hope than by resuming my profes sional pursuits to enable me to obtain a livelihood for myself and family; to do which requires some pecuniary assistance, which I can but ent er t a i n a hope your Lord ship, considering the distressing circumstance's attending this case, will feel disposed to afford me." Mr. PLATT, counsel for the plaintiff; in com menting upon that passage, said— ~ Did yon ever hear, Gentlemen, of a more moderate application than that letter contained ? If his Lordship bad acceded to it, nothing more would bare been said about the matter, and Mr. acas would hay been happy to have screened him from any opinion that might be formed." Mr. PLATT, we suppose, speaks from his brief or his verbal instructions from Mr. DICAS, when he talks of screening the LORD CHAN CELLOR. His Lordship did not attend to this letter, considering it, very probably, as an insult. That he was justified in this view of it, we have not only Mr. PLATT'S talk about " screening," if his Lordship would pay handsomely, but the following passage in a subsequent letter, written by Mr. DICAS " Nevertheless, the claims of a numerous family, and a confident hope of success in business hereafter, induce me to trouble your Lordship again to enable me to resume business, rather than bring myself a second time before the public, by resorting to a jury, which, although strongly urged to do, I have hitherto refrained from." Mr. DICAS again has no answer, and puts beyond a doubt the meaning of his letters by carrying his threat of publicity into execution. The world must form its own conclusion as to his motives ; but the result of the trial, and the investigation which took place, so completely justify Lord BROUGHAM, that it cannot fail to be as gratifying to his friends as it must be annoying to his enemies ; and that he has ene mies is naturally to be expected, after the number of snug sinecures he has destroyed.

INTEMPERANCE.--An inquest was held yes terday on the body of Mr. John Foxabbott, aged 54, re siding at 35, Phoenix-terrace, Liverpool-road, Islington. The deceased was of independent property, and had come to town respecting some law proceedings. He drank a bo't'e of brandy, besides ale, daily, and at length was at tacked by apoplexy, which caused his death.—Verdict, " Died by Apoplexy predisposed by excessive drinking." A matrimonial fever is said to be raging with great fury in Weathersfield, Conn. Nothing is talked about but love and onions. There are more unions raised in this thriving town than in any other in the country. A warm contest is likely to arise between the barristers and attorneys as to the propriety of attorneys being allowed to plead as advocates in the Sheriff,' New Courts, and it is announced that the bar have signified their intention to attend those Courts if the exclusive right of audience be given to them; but that if, on the contrary, attorneys are allowed to plead, the barristers will ab,ent themselves entirely from the Courts.

KIDNAPPING OF A YOUNG MAN.—On Friday last the family of John Mills, Esq., of Poplar, was thrown into great dismay on receiving a letter from their son William, informing them that be had been trepanned on board of the ship —, bound for Demerara, by Cap ' tain —, who had put him into irons and set a guard over him to prevent his escape. The family immediately ascertained that the -- had sailed, but there might be a probability of catching her in the Downs; arid Mr . Charles Mills, accompanied by Mr. Thomas Browne, of Fenchurch-street, armed with the force of the law, and with the assistance of the Deputy Warden of the Cinque Ports, put out to sea from Deal, and on Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, they fell in with the ship, which they hoarded. The Captain stoutly denied having the young man on hoard ; but, observing the determ nation of the patties to search the vessel, he at last agreed to produce him, and the young man, to his great joy, was rescued from the thraldom of this oppressive person. The pilot having left the vessel, Mr. William Mills had given up all idea of being relieved from his situation. " All's well that ends well ;" but this business had very nearly terminated in the defeat of its object and the loss of the boat and its crew, she having been swamped by the sea in putting off; but from the presence of mind of those praise worthy men, the Deal pilots, they got the water laved our, and the boat righted. The young gentleman's mind, fr•iin his sudden incarceration and equally surprising deli very, has been since in a strong state of excitation, but it is hoped he will in a few days recover his composure. RASI MOIIUN ROY AND MR. IRVING. —The lamented and distinguished Brahmin having ex pressed a desire to hear from this eminent divine an expo sition of his doctrine, requested his friend Mr. Woodforde, of this town, to facilitate their interview. This was accordingly done by an invitation to the parties to meet and breakfast at Woodforde's lodgings. During the repast the Brahmin arose, and with much earnestness addressed Mr. Irving. He began by saying he was gratified at the opportunity of seeing Mr. Irving ; he had travelled in various parts of the world, and had come to this country with the ulterior view of benefiting the Hindoos by his investigations into moral and political science, and above all, for the ascertainment of religious truth ; be felt desirous of bearing from so celebrated and pious a divine as the Reverend pastor his explanation of the mysteries of his religion, and especially sought for an elucidation of the sublime doctrine of the Trinity. The Rev. Gentleman, after a few moments' meditation, rose and poured forth a long an eloquent prayer that the illustrious Brahmin might be made to feel the holy in fluence of the gospel as revealed in the Christian dispen sation. He then sat down. Ram Mohun Roy then rose and observed, that it was not to be made an espe cial object of heavenly mercy and of miraculous agency that he had sought for truth from the lips of the reverend gentleman ; what he wanted was demonstrable proof of the mysterious doctrine of the Trinity_" The One God in Three, and Three in One." Mr. Irving answered that he could convince him by a familiar illustration of the ra tionality of the doctrine, and raising up the skirt of his colt, folded it into three plaits, and subsequently expanded them in their previous state. The Brahmin stated h.e objections to this illustration, which he deemed unsatis factory, and the interview soon after closed, the reverend gentleman avowing his readiness to repeat his visit, if required, but the Brahmin politely declined any further attempts to obtain elucidation of the subject,— Taunton Courier.

He was shown, a. a great curiosity, among the extra stock at the annual meeting of the Flintsbire Agricultural Society list year, and was always remarkably healthy till a few days before he was killed. The great age and continued good health of this patriarch of the lawns and meadows, may possibly, in some measure, be attributable to the fact of his having never troubled himself about the concerns of the other members of the flock ; he " regarded not the voice of the charmer, charm she never so wisely ;" and invariably " turned a deaf ear" to all the calumnies, broils, and tur. moils of the world around him. It is a.very singular fact, that this remarkable animal had not only no ears, but no orifice where the ears are usually posited. A few days before he was slaughtered, he was attacked with water on the brain, or " the turn," as it is commonly called, for which, we believe, there is no cure but the butcher's knife. The intestines exhibited a perfectly healthy appearance, and the colour of the mutton was as good as in sheep three or four years old. —.MaccleafieldCourier. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) WRAY V. HUTCHESON. Mr. KINDERSLEY appeared for th e pl a i n tiff in this case, who for some time has carried on the business of a surgeon and apothecary in S a lisbury s square , Fl ee t-stree t, t the defendant having f ormer ly serve d hi s appren ticesblP in his service, and now filling the character of partne r in the business, which had become a very lucrative concern. The partnership was established in the lat ter end of the year 1829, and upon paying a certain premi° the defendant was admitted to a participation in the Pro' fits to the extent of one-third. The business went a rl increasing to a considerable amount, and a flebond estrd blishment for the vendin g o f d rugs , & c ., was set up Farringdon-street, Blackfriars, where Mr. Hutcheson, the defendant, resided, and where it was agreed the partner' ship books and accounts were to be kept and regula rl y made up. The partnership deed, among other matters, CO n ,', tamed a proviso that if o n an y occas i on controvers i es s hould arise between the parties, the whole should be referred t° arbitration. The business hail not long proceeded on t be f terms of the partnership, when unfortunately aulijeote,„ ° dispute arose betatreen the parties which gave birth ! I I acrimonious dissensions, until ulti ma t e l y t h e prese nt bil l was filed for the purpose of putting an end to the pratne r• ship under the decree of the Court. Mr. BICKERSTETH interrupted the Learned Counsel f or the plaintiff bef o r e hi s case h a d b een f u ll y state d, an begged to call the attention of the Court to the followisg facts. The original bill was filed in February' 1832, and the bill, as am en d e d, i n N ovem b e r that year. Now, of the doff; rent charges brough t , against this (defendant nine out o f t en oc curre d subsequent to the filing of an answer to the original hit It was therefore submitt e d th a t ev id ence o f these coolu not be gone into for the purpose of establishing the plain tiff's original equity to a dissolution of the partnerships His HONOUR said the plaintiff could o nly b r i ng f o rward such matter in the shape of a supplemental bill ) an amended bill was not sufficient for that purpose. Mr. KINDERSLEY submitted that the defendant, profess' ing an anxiety to meet the charges which bad been road' in the bill, ought to have availed himself of the objection now offered by way of demurrer or plea, arid having failed to do so, and permitted the plaintiff to proceed with the pleadings, and bring the cause to a hearing at such an enormous expense, he should be considered as nowt debarred from taking the advantage of it. Mr. BICKERSTETH stated that the defendant had given due notice that he would avail himself at the hearing of the objection. His HONOUR did not consider the objection one merely of form ; it was absolutely necessary to the preservatio n of the purity of the jurisdiction of the Court. 0° the filing of a bill the plaintiff was to b e Con sidered as insisting on some particular ca use, which, he believed, entitled him to the decree of the Court ; he must show that be had that particula r equitable ground for relief when Lis original bill was filed. Supplemental matter could only be added by a supPle' mental bill in the regular form ; an amended bill only spoke at the time of the original filing. Mr. KINDERSLEY then said, that in consequence ° E that expression of the opinion of the Court, he was in structed to allow the hill to be dismissed. He did n'it t think without the ancillary ficts which had been brought forward by amendment of the original bill, that it was I° his power to make nut a substantial case for the plaintiff s relief. The Learned Counsel, however, expressed a hop* that the Court would not visit the plaintiff with those costs which had been incurred in consequence of the manner in which the defendant had acted in not giving notice before the expenses had been incurred that such a course of objection would be taken. Mr. BICKERSTETH referred to the answer, for the purpose of showing that such notice had been given. Th e bill made gross and unfounded charges against the delea• dant, and the question was, whether, because he ha d merely taken the proper means of refuting those allega' tinns, he should be saddled with the costs. It would have been impossible to form a plea to meet the facts, becaus e they were all mixed up with the old charges, without th e dates attached to them, and there:ore the defendant wa s obliged to enter into evidence. HIS HONOUR considered that charges of a crirninating nature having been introduced in the bill, it was ne e ''' . airy, for the vindication of his character, that the de fendant should have adopted the course which he did. H ° was not, therefore, to be deprived of his costs. Hl ° H mour, therefore, dismissed the bill with costs, but re• commended the parties to settle their di s p u t es b y arbitr,tio• KING'S BENCH -(THIS DAY.)

This was a criminal information, at the instance of Mr. Alderman Winchester, and Mr. Briggs, a solicitor, against the proprietors of the True Sun, for a libel. It was fixed to come on the first this morning; but, on the ap plication of the defendant last night, after it had been set down on the li.t, it was postponed until Saturday morning• THE KING V. IROUGHTON AND OTHERS. This indictment was also fixed for this morning, but in consequence of the recent death of two of the 4" Pendants, a verdict of acquittal was taken by consent. CROOK V. JADIS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. PLATT) stated the case for the plaintiff. It was as action by Mr. George Crook, of the firm of Crook and Sons, in Pall Mall, to recover from the de fendant, Mr. Henry Jadis, late of Bryanston-square , the sum of 1,0001. upon a bill of exchange, drawl' by the defendant on and accepted by the late Lord ley, dated the 23d May, 1831, at eleven months' date, and due the 26th April, 1832. The defendant did not deny that he was the drawer of the bill, but his defence was that he had not received value for it. Whether that was true or not, and whether there was orig► - nally any fraud committed on the defendant or Lora Foley, by which the bill was got out of their hands, be (the Solicitor-General), neither knew ear cared. If necessary, it would be proved that the plaintiff had given valuable consideration for it ; but it was only necessary at present to make out what was called a prima fade case—after which it would be seen wha t defence would be attempted. Mr G. Smith proved that the bill was draw❑ by the defendant, and accepted by Lord Foley. William Lake, a clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, provei the notice of the dishonour of the bill being given to the defendant. Henry Hugh Massey, a notary's clerk, was called to prove the presentation of the bill at Drummonds',where it was made payable, and its dishonour, but he was absenrp and the Court had to wait a considerable time for him. When he did arrive, His LoßnsHir reprimanded him for keeping the Court waiting. If he bad been much longer the plaintiff would have been nonsuited, and then the witness would have been liable to pay all the damage the plaintiff would sustain• His Lordship added that he should be glad to see an in stance of that kind, as it would have a good effect in corn pelting the attendance of witnesses. The witness was then examined, and stated that be presented the bill at Drummonds', between six and seven o'clock on Vie evening of the 26th April, 1832, and the answer was it was not provided for. Cross-examined—The bank was then shut, but there , was always a clerk there in th e e v en i ng t o rec eive notaries clerks. Sir J. SCARLETT hoped his Lordship would take a note of the time when the bill was presented fur payment,• it being after banking hours. His LORDSHIP assented to it. Sir J. SCARLETT then addressed the Jury for the defendant. The late Lord Foley was unfortunately too much in the habit of putting his name to bills, -by which' mode he generally paid forty shillings in the pound- It was surprising that although Mr. Jadis was the only indorsement on the back of the bill, there was no doubt it had gone througq a variety of hands. It would he proved that Mr. Jadis handed it to a Mr. Bevan to get it discounted, and be entrusted it to a Mr. Guoston, who never gave a farthing for it. At length it found its way to the plaintiff. Not one shilling had been paid upon it, either to the drawer or acceptor; and it mutt have struck the jury that it was singular if the plaintiff gave a valuable consideration for the bill, that b e did not require the indorsement of the persons from what he had it. The whole transaction was so tainted that he (Sir James Scarlett) hoped the Jury would give a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Thomas Edward Bevan stated that he received ti re bills in question from the defendant in May, 1831, to g ee it discounted; he banded it over to Mr. Gunston in order that be might get it discounted, but he never received a farthing on it, nor bad witness advanced the defendant s oy money.
