FRASER'S MAGAZINE. No. L As a first number, this is a very spirited and promising performance. It possesses variety— the greatest possible recommendation to a Ma gazine—and a clever t•anslation of the well. known German author Richter's Review of Madame de Stael's equally well-known work on Germany. The introductory article, " Our Confession of Faith," is a rapid and energetic expose of the political principles of the Maga zine, which, it seems, is to be of a high Tory character, or at any rate of something approach ing to it, as is apparent from the following extract " Our political tendencies will be sufficiently apparent to the intelligent from what we have said already ;—to the non-intelligent it would be useless to address ourselves. During the late straggle for Roman Catholic Emancipa tion, we should have been amongst its most decided oppo nents ; but as we think that it is now improbable in the highest degree that the measure of last session will be re pealed —as, in short, Protestant ascendancy, as under stood by our fathers, is a matter of history—we shall not moot a question which, for the present, is as useless in practice as the famous schoolboy controversy of ancient times, whether Hannibal ought to have marched upon Rome after the battle of Cannes. Reserving our opinions upon the theological and political questions connected with the Romish church, as it exerts its influence here and on the continent, we willingly excuse ourselves from fighting over again upon paper a battle which has been lost in the field. We shall beep Our attention steadfastly fixed upon the movements of the party now called into power, and sedulously watch whether they attempt to do all the mis chief which they desire ; but as we do not for the present see how they can be dislodged from the station which they have obtained, we must even let them stay there, without any angry inquiry on our part how or why they have won it. " In other matters of domestic policy we are not very anxious to pledge ourselves. We have no respect for the political economists--men who, in general, blunder on in blind subjection to theories hastily adapted upon partial inductions, and perpetually contradicted in practice; but, at the mine time, our reverence is just as slight for the soi-disant practical gentlemen, who, OR the strength of having been clerks, in one capacity or another, in public offices, where the portion of intellect required is not more than that of a dog in a wheel, talk of the ' mystery' of their avocations, as if public business were a sort of Rosi crucianism or Freemasonry, to be understood only by the adepts ; and affect to sneer, or perhaps do actually sneer without affectation, at those who have not had the advan tage of learning how to fold a note in a diplomatic man ner, or to tie a parcel with appropriate tape. Both these classes of men are equally absurd and ridiculous (we have much to say hereafter about them) ; but there is a small sect, compounded of both, who are not to he laughed at. Your trading political economists, dry-baked in office, are no matter of jest. It would not be difficult to prove, that they have inflicted almost as much calamity upon the country as a foreign conqueror could have done,—more, indeed, than foreign conquerors, in civilized days, in ge neral, ever think of doing. We believe that public opi nion, denwied or blinded for a while by the affected pre cision and mock-mathematical accuracy of this tribe of philosophers, is gradually Lecorning undeceived; and we shall endeavour to assist it in returning into the right path, and teaching it to look with something more of re spect on maxims and principles which, in all countries, but especially in this country, have been the parents of wealth and power ; and with suspicion, at least, on mush room doctrines, which have rarely been acted upon, for any period, without involving those who followed them in misfortune, an& inducing the necessity of a hasty retreat. " Sufficient has been here said to make it perfectly well understood that we are not of liberal principles." We have heard it whispered that there are some illustrious names enrolled among the con tributors to this Magazine ; if so, there will be little doubt of its success. risiczs OF STOCKS THIS RAnk stock 2lB 19 3 per Cent.

It is one of the greatest ornaments to the metropolis, and the taste displayed in the external character of the building and the internal arrangements do the highest credit to the archi tect, and the committee who superintended the erection. The library, saloons, &c. are very handsomely fitted up, but some persons think a better effect would have been produced if the paper, carpets, and curtains had not been en uniformly 'crimson. The committee, amongst whom are Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Lowther, the Bishop of Llau daff, Mr. Cruker, &c, &c. dined together at the Club house on Saturday. embir clar LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1830. Despatches from the Brazils, Paris, and Brussels, were received at the Foreign Office this mortiihg. It is with great satisfaction we have learned that the Budget will contain a proposition for the reduction of the public expenditure to the amount of 800,0001., and that the Army will be the branch to which the reductions will espe cially apply. The Budget is to be brought for ward as early in the Session as possible. All accounts that• have lately been received from Prussia seem to agree that, under the en lightened though absolute Government of that country, the people are gradually and silently advancing to a degree of practical liberty little different from that which would be derived from a Constitution. The ten Provinces of the king dom have now their separate Provincial States, which are convoked every two years, and the several districts of the Provinces have also their representative Councils. These Assemblies have not indeed any active power of opposing or re sisting the measures of the Government, but are nevertheless highly important, in so far as by the discussions on political matters to which they give rise, the free expression of opinion is materially promoted. All Govern ments, says HUME, depend upon opinion, and it is therefore obvious that the stronger the voice of the - public becomes, the more difficult will it be for the rulers to affect deafness to it. In enslaved and ignorant nations, like Spain and Portugal, there is no public voice beyond that of a mob, stirred up by the machinations of tyranny and priestcraft ; but when public debates begin to take place frequently among a people surpassed by none in Europe in point of their morality and intelligence, we may pronounce such an epoch as an indication of the rise of the nation in the scale of internal happiness,' as well as external power. Education in Prussia is compulsory ; and so generally is it spread that, according to BALI, the pro portion of young persons at school throughout the kingdom, is to the population, as 1 to 7, which is almost as large as can ever be possible, inasmuch as a comparison of population tables has fixed the rates of children between 5 and 15 years of age, to the rest of the inhabitants of a country, to be as Ito 54. This surpasses even Scotland and the Netherlands, where education is remarkably diffuted ; and as an almost neces sary consequence the number of Journals cir culating in Prussia is very great, being in the ratio of 1 to every 43,09() inhabitants, while in France it is as 1 to 52,117, in Austria as 1 to 376,471, and in Spain as 1 to 869,000 ; Great Britain being not suited to a just comparison, our Journals being few in number, with a larger circulation to each. We allude to these facts, as proofs thatthe growth of intelligence and civilization has an influence on the progress of freedom, too powerful to be re tarded by any form of government. Some discontent appears to have manifested itself at various times within the last few years, in the Grand Duchy of Posen, originally a part of Poland, but ceded to Prussia in 1815, by the treaty of Vienna. Its inhabitants, of the Scla vonian race, differed from their new fellow-citi zens, in manners and customs, in ancient feel ings and recollections, and for the most part in religion, being of the Greek Church. Their nationality was, however, little respected by the Prussian Government, who filled all the public offices with Germans, to the indignation of the proud Poles. The dissatisfaction was much increased, in consequence of the deprivation of the district of Kroeben of its right of sending representatives to the Provincial States, for hav ing re-elected as a member of those States one JOSEPH KRZYZANOWSKI, a Pole, who had taken part in the Russian conspiracy of 1826, and who, after an imprisonment of two years the prison of Thorn, was acquitted on his trial for want of evidence. KRZYZANOWSKI petitioned for a second trial, and was refused, and the Provincial States taking part decidedly with him, incurred the displeasure of the Govern ment, in very much the same manner as the Mid dlesex electors, who supported JOHN WILKES , irritated the British Ministry of that day. The KING has, however, lately seen the propriety Of making some concessions to the national feeling in order to restore, peace, and things are going on, we understand, " as well as can be expected." The position of the Duchy of Posen reminds us forcibly of that of Belgium by its annexation to Holland, and in some measure of that of Ire land, since the Union. In neither of these three instances has full justice been done to the weaker vessel, by the husband to whom she has been married ; yet in all three oppression has been unable to maintain its ground, and is now re ceding before the determination that has been manifested to submit to being bullied no longer. In consequence of several incorrect statements having appeared in the Newspapers relative to the death of Mr. THOMAS BUZBY at Cadiz, we have been favoured with a sight of the follow ing letter, which we insert, and recommend our Merchants who reside in Spain to be more upon their guard, and well armed : EXTRACT or A LITTER PROM MR. GEORGE PRESCOTT, DATED JAW. 8, 1830. " I am extremely sorry to inform you' of the gasucina tion of poor Buzby on Friday evening, the let of January, between five and six o'clock. " Mr. Thomas Buzhy had been repeatedly cautioned by several Spanish Merchants to have the doors fastened, and I also particularly desired him to do it the last time I was at Cadiz, but unfortunately without effect, as two men came in and met the gallego (porter) at the top of the first landing ; they asked for the master, and he directed them to the counting house, where Busby and the Spanish clerk were finishing their post. " One of the men immediately put a dagger to the clerk's breast, who cried out for mercy, and who was so much frightened that lie scarcely has recovered the use of his senses yet. The other attacked Busby, who appears to have made some resistance, and he no doubt was making his way to the street, as he was found dead at the bottom of the stairs, upon the porter coming in again, who hav ing been to fasten the outer door, and hearing a cry of alarm up stairs repeated it in the street, and upon the robbers rushing out, the gallego seized one of them, (who provel to be the assassin) and the other having left his hat in the struggle in the counting house, he was appre hended in less than half an hour, as also three other men, (known bad characters) who were outside the door at the time, and who had dined with the other two that day. " Several other persons are implicated, our lighterman and his head man are in custody upon suspicion of being concerned, as it is concluded there s% as a regular plan laid to ransack the house, and I conceive they must have learnt that there was a considerable amount of cash in the chest, the greater part of which was to be paid away the follow ing day for bills that we had taken. Although the roads were neatly impassable from 40 d•&ys heavy rain, I suc ceeded in arriving here about half an hour before the funeral left the house, to enable me to pay the last tribute of respect to an old, true, and faithful servant. Special permission was obtained for him to be buried within the Fort, and the body was conveyed to the place of interment by the boat of his Majesty's frigate Dartmouth, and followed to the grave by all the Englishmen in Cadiz, as also several Spanish merchants, who could all bear testi mony to the honourable and upright character of the de ceased. The hurial service was read by the British Con sul (John Brackenbury, Esq.) and who has acted in the most kind and handsome manner possible throughout this unfortunate affair, as also the authorities of the city. The Governor says that the whole gang shall suffer immediately, but-I fear it will be some time before the assassin even is brought to condign punishment." We understand that Mr. BUZBY had been in one of the foreign establishments of Messrs. BA nnows and PRESCOTT'S, of Manchester, for 14 years, as senior clerk, and was on the point of returning to England. He was a re markably quiet, inoffensive person. In another letter we have seen, dated Cadiz, 12th, giving an account of the execution of ten pirates on the 11th and 12th January, it is re marked that when the last man was turned off, there was a general cry for the murderers of the Englishman to be brought forward to suffer the same fate. This circumstance shews the feeling that exists relative to the recent murder of Mr. BuznY, and which has caused much more sen sation than could have been expected, particularly as he was a foreigner. On Wednesday last the LORD CHANCELLOR directed Mr. ACRES (the party we formerly mentioned as having been shut up in a Lunatic receptacle at Hoxton) to . be discharged, de claring " there was no pretence for detain ing him." Dr. BRIGHT certified, as Dr. M , MicuitEr, had done before, that the man was " in full possession of all his faculties !" Thus the public will observe that a man " in the full possession of all his faculties," by the contrivance and collusion of friends and Mad Doctors, may be incarcerated in a mad house, and there can be little doubt that many others would be liberated in like manner, if able to bring their cases before a Court of Justice. The Speech from the Throne on Thursday last affords great expectation that many important alterations will shortly be made in the law and its administration ; and we know of no case that more imperatively claims the attention of the Public, the Legislature, and the Government, than the laws relating to Lunatics. The time has now come ►wen (to use the language of the Edinburgh Reviewer, who wrote in 1817 on the same melancholy subject) the Legislature must determine " whether a large proportion of those " unfortunate persons—comprehending indivi " duals of almost every rank in society—should " he restored to the condition of human beings, " or left to languish under sufferings that have " no parallel but in the atrocities of a slave ship, "or the dungeons of the Inquisition. stripes, " fetters, cold, darkness, solitude—the absence " of every bodily comfort and mental enjoyment, " have bee❑ too long the established discipline " of receptacles for the insane," which unhappy class of persons, as the same writer observes, are the victims of this complicated misery, " not " incidentally for hours, days, or weeks, but " in general for the whole years of their wretched " existence ! !" The system must be altered to afford any thing like protection and security to the public against this dreadful abuse, since, however great may be the individual respectability of the exist ;IT Lunacy Commission, recent events have established, beyond the possibility of doubt, that that Commission has not the power within itself to afford efficient protection to the sane or the insane, which object can never be attained, until provision shall be made by law for enabling the case of every individual to be brought before a competent tribunal and Jury. As a considerable portion of the public may imagine that persons confined in Lunatic hos pitals and receptacles are confined for the pur poses of CURE, it may be right to acquaint them with the medical and moral treatment to which persons so confined are subjected, as proved before the Parliamentary Committees of Inquiry. The medical treatment of Lunatic patients in the OLD Bethlehem Hospital appears to have been confined to a PERIODICAL bleeding, purging, and bathing, without any particular dis crimination as to the state of health, bodily or mental, of the patients. It appears from the Minutes of Evidence that the physician, Dr. MuNno attended the Committee every Satur day ! but only went round the Hospital when a case was reported to him ;—in all other instances the matter was left to Mr. HASLAM the apothe- I vry. JoIIN BLACKBURN (a keeper) stated, "that Dr. MUNRO was sometimes a month with out going round the Hospital and inspecting the patients, and that Mr. HAsLAM used to go round the gallery sometimes twice, sometimes three times, a week—not more than four times ! Mr. HA%LAM resided at Islington, and it was stated by one of the witnesses (JAMES Sim morns, a keeper) that " the nurse used to " make the medicine and physic in the morn " ing, and the keepers used to give it to the " patients sometimes ;"—and again, " two off " the nurses used to go round with a little cup, " and they used to give it at the discretion of " the keepers and the nurses." So much fbr the medical treatment of patients in Old Bethlehem Hospital ! Dr. WEIR stated, that the naval patients at MiLEs's, at Hoxton, received no medical treat ment whatever; and that some of them had been there fourteen years, to whom a single grain of medicine had never been administered for the cure of their insanity ! ! Dr. FOw LER, who visited a receptacle kept by one SPENCER, at Fonthill, after explaining that the cells, in which the unhappy Lunatics were confined, were so offensive as nearly to prevent further inspection,—that it made him extremely sick, though accustomed all his life to the dissecting room,—and that the Clerk of the Peace who was with him vomited extremely, says, " one patient was so bad that they told "me they did not expect him to live.--I " thought it my duty to tell them, if this man " dies, I shall do all I can to convict you 9f " murder.'" When asked by the Committee for a description of the state in which he found this man, he stated, that " he was confined in one of the oblong troughs chained down," — that he had evidently not been in the air for some time, as when he made them bring him into the air, he ceuld not bear the light, and was like an Albino, blinking! On a former occasion we adverted to a Mad Doctor who attended WARBURTON'S recep tacle at Bethnal-green, devoting one hour and a half to about 500 patients, being about the fifth part of a minute to each ! _ Such are some of the facts taken hastily and at random from the minutes of evidence given before the Parliamentary Committees, which abound with facts of a similar description, show ing either that Mad Doctors do not consider medical treatment of any importance to insane patients, or displaying the most culpable and unfeeling neglect of their professional duties. Having thus briefly adverted to the MEDICAL treatment of the insane in Lunatic:receptacles, we shall take an early opportunity of explaining to the public the MORAL treatment to which these unhappy persons have been subjected. The melancholy fate of Lord GRAVES can not fail to awaken the most painful sensations in the public mind. These sensations must deepen into horror and indignation, if there be any truth in the reports current for some days in the highest circles. We trust, for the sake of humanity, that the cause assigned for the de plorable event may prove unfounded—and yet our recollections forbid the hope that aught hut evil can emanate from a source so polluted and demoniacal. Eternal Justice ! can thy vengeance sleep? LAW INTELLIGENC6.-(THIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. THE TEMPLER AND THE JEWESS....,IOHANNING V. HAWES. Mr. Marschner, of Leipsic, composed an Opera en titled The Templar and the Jewess, and by an instrument of transfer assigned the copyright of it to Mr. Hofmeister, reserving to himself the copyright in the scores for thea trical representation. Mr. Hofmeister entered into a ne guciation with Messrs. Johanning and \l'hatmore for the transfer of his interest fur the sum of 851. ; at the same time - Mr. Marschner transferred the copyright to Mr. Hawes for a valuable consideration. It appeared to the Lord Charierllor, in giving judgment this morning, that Messrs. Johanning and Whatmore had obtained a clear title to publish the Opera in Great Britain, but in answer to the plaintiff's case, brought forward to set aside the in junction he had obtained, the defendant swore distinctly in his answer that the plaintiff's right to publish extended only to the kingdom of Saxony, according to the German law ; and that as the instrument upon which the question turned was to be construed according to the law of the country in which it was made, the Court was hound to dissolve the injunction. But on adverting to the letters that had passed between the parties, there seemed to be so much doubt as to whether the law had been correctly stated in the answer or not, that his Lordship felt it right to order an account to be kept, that an action might be brought. The Soucrroa-GgwrnAt, on the part of the plaintiff, obtained leave to amend his bill, and give notice of a mo tion for Friday for a renewed injunction. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. CRIMINAL INFORINLATION-BURTON ALE. Mr. C.tikrruELL moved fur a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Messrs Baldwin and Cradock,: the respectable booksellers and publishers of Paternoster-row for a libel in a work pub lished by them entitled " The Art of Brewing." The Learned Counsel said he made this application on behalf ofa very respectable body of men, who did not complain of being libelled in their individual character, but as a body. this clients were the Burton ale brewers.—(A laugh. ) Their Lordships would recollect a similar application to the present was made some years since on behalf of !..e London porter-b rewers; but that application was refused, as the affidavits did not swear that no unlawful ingredients SMITHFIELD MARKET, In our market of to day. which exhibited a ♦ery con siderable number of remarkably prime Scots, Norfolk borne-breds, Plerefords, and Durl►sms, as well as Sussex oxen, and was otherwise well supplied, the trade was very dull throughout—with Mutton at a depres'ion of full 2d. per stone ; with Berf, Veal, and Pork at barely Thurs day's quotations. rRiCKS PER.

CORONER'S INQUEST—(THIS DAY.) • At eleven o'clock this morning an inquisition was take , before J. H. Gent., Esq.. and a highly respectable Al'. at the Masons' Arms, Maddux-street, Hanover-square, ari a view of the body of the Right Hon. Thomas North, Let. Graves, aged 54, who destroyed himself by cutting h i : throat with a razor in the following dreadful manner , / his lodgings. No. 15, Hamover-street. The inquiry was conducted with the utmost secrecy; and the following was the substance of the evidence. The body of the Noble Lord presented a most frightful sre e " . tack, his head being nearly severed from his body :-- I John Sprey stated th a t h e h a d b een travelling Itervan, to his Lordship for nearly four years ; he was not Al e that he had been afflicted with a ny b o dily complaint th the last six months; about a year ago he was laid up 'w' rheumatic fever. Last Saturday his Lordship, I " - , is one of the C o m m i ss i oners o f E xc i se , wen t to t i ," l office on busi ness , an d re t urne d a b out f our o 'clock' After this he dined in Belgrave-square, at Sir Gen't. Murray's, and returned home at eleven o'clock, soon after went to bed ; he was in very low spirits teh ° l lie went out. Witness sat by his bedside until about te l l o'clock in the m orn i ng : h e h a d usua ll y d one se f or 8 01 time past, on account of his Lordship being quit el cripple from the rh e u ma ti sm , a l t h oug h h e h as of 1 4 ' „ been fast recovering. It was his Lordship's wish that bt sat up with him until he fell asleep, as he did not like t° l be left alone; he could not tell the reason why. Y ei ;, terday morning he went i n t o hi s L or d s hi p ' s room nb°°, eight o'clock, and found hi m as l eep ; h e went i n ega , d ; sson after ten o'clock, a n d f oun d hi m d ress i ng . breakfasted about twelve o'clock, and soon after Sir Jan: Anderson came in, who att en d e d hi s L or d s hi p . Wie°"' went out to get some medicine ordered, and returned be; tween three and four, and asked hi s Lo r d s hip f or a parce l '' which he had told him to send to Lady Graves, at HOT ; ton Court. The parcel was gi ven t o hi m . It contettif; a letter from his Lord s hip t o h er , an d b e t oo k it to P I Coach-office in Picc a dilly.

Witness was told toorder a coach et' quarter before seven o'clock, be went out for that purpos e ' and on his return, after cleaning his Lordship's Ithgr e took them into his roma; the door was not locked, be " I , not Bee his Lordship, but observed the looking-glass s tave' ing on the table covered with blood, and two citron° bursting in front of the glass. Witness called for mei° ance, and his Lordship was found on the floor of she WO close under the dressing-table, with his throat cut fret°, ear to ear, and two razors layi ng b es id e hi m .

MELANCHOLY EVENT IN HIGH LIFE' It is with extrem e sorrow th a t we announce t h e delltb a of a very amiable Nobleman, Lord who, il l fit of delirium last night, put a period to his existence: o his house, in the neighbourhood of H anover - square . Lordship had for some days, we understand, suffered g distress of mind on account of a r e cent occurre nce, 01 only delicate nature , in his family, and to whi c h w e eau 0 01 /: thus slightly allude. His Lordship throughout the day had been very deer'„ ing, a n d d ur i ng t h e a f ternoon, after read i ng one o ft . Newspapers of the day, retired to his dressing-room, a 7 ,1 with a razor infli c t e d a d ee p woun d i n hi s throat. l'_a" Lordship was discovered lyi ng on hi s back, with the bl ue ' running in streams from the wound, but life w as not e r d tinct. Medical assistanee was immediately sent for; in a very few minutes three gentleman were in attendance' but the jugular having been divided, and also the trachea; surgical skill was u nava ili ng , an d b e f ore s i x o'clock ht Lnitlship was a corpse. Information of the distressing . s ; currence was sent to th e var i ous mem b ers o f hi s L o rdshill, family, and also to the Castle at Windsor. His MajegY feelings, we are sure, would be extremely wounded els hearing the painful intelligence.---Morning Chronicle. We last week adverted to a very prevalent rumour, that , the lady of a noble Lord holding a high situation in w". Royal Household, had been guilty of some iudiscretio ° with an Illustrious Personage who has been lately a fr " quent attendant on th e C ourt . W e also observed, t h a t t" discovery of these indiscretions had been attended with cif: cutnstances which rendered it exceedingly probable that the parties would, in the usual manner, be brought bef' re the public by th e p rocee di ngs o f a court o f l aw. W e now , learn, however, that there is a probability of the difierenc e , e being arranged in a manner more satisfactory to the farm' lies of those int eres t e d ; an d as i t i s sa id t h e d aug ht e rs the lady are to remain under her guardianship, it is IA fair to presume that the noble father mast have been sati n feed that there was nothing criminal in the conduct of the mother. We give the following paragraph en the subje c o from the Court Journal, a paper which assumes to be' acquainted with such subjects We rejoice to hear 01'1 the domestic differences between an officer of the Rot a a Household and his lady are s a ti s f ac t or il y a dj us t e d ; persuaded that Lord G— is too honourable a man commit the charge of his daughters to one who could 10 prove herself worthy the distinction. We are gratified bl the result of . this delicate affair, which is understood 10 , have been the ems° of such uneasiness to a n Ill us tricP Personage."— Observer.

His clients, as he before said, were a very numerous and respectable elms of men, carrying on an extensive business not only in Eng land, Ireland, and Scotland, but in every part of Europe. He would read the article of which they complained, and their Lordships would then see that it was well calcu lated to do them very great injury. It appeared in the second number of a work entitled " Library of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge," under the Act of brewing," and the writer after paying a panegyric on Scotch ale—(a laugh,) —which clearly proved he was a native of that country,—(a laugh)—went on to state that he should soon have occasion to speak of Burton ale," in the manufacture of which were used several deleterous articles, such as " salt of steel," honey. Lord Tiarrannax--Honey, Mr. Campbell, is tilt in jurious. Mr. CAMPBELL-No, my Lord, but your Lordships are aware it is unlawful, and these were not the only articles which he alleged were used by the brewers : he said that " Sulphate of Lime," " Black Resin," " Ss! Prunella," " Sulphate of Iron," " Green Copperas," and " Jallop,"—(Great laughter)—were also employed. Lord TENTERDIN - Well do your clients deny it, Mr. Campbell ? Mr. CAMPBELL-Yes, my Lord. There are affidavits filed by every brewer (with the exception of one) in the town of Burton. Some of them state that they have been acquainted with the brewing of Burton ale for more than 50 years, and they swear most positively that no ingre dient was used only malt, hops, and water, except, how ever, the beer was too cold to work, then it sometimes was the case that a little bean flour and common salt were used, but on no occasion whatever was any deletereous drug made use of. The plaintiffs also swear that the publication in question has already been very injurious to them, and as it circulated very extensively on the continent, without the interference of this Court, would con tinue to be so. They went on to state their object in making the present application was not from a vindictive feeling, as they suspected the respect able publishers had been imposed upon, but solely for the purpose of protecting their property and character, which had been assaultei in this publication. The COURT consulted for a short time, when Lord TJENTERDIN said, we think you may take a rule to show cause.—Rule granted. THE XING V. MURRAY. Mr. Murray, the eminent bookseller and publisher, was in attendance this morning to receive the judgment of the Court, for a libel of which he had been convicted, but up to the time of our going to press he had not been called upon. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN-EXCHANGE. Last week the supply of Barley was extremely large, of Oats moderate, and of all other Grain small. This morn ing there is very little Corn of any kind fresh up. The thaw that has taken place is re-opening our navigation ra pidly, but the extent of business doing here is limited at present. There is so very little fine dry Wheat for sale, that such may be quoted full 2s. per quarter higher than last Monday, for other sorts more money is asked, but our millers do not comply readily. Barley sells very heavily at last quotations. Beans that are dry and fine are rather clearer. Pease remain unaltered, except for fine Maples, which are rather higher. Good Oats obtain rather better prices than of late, but other qualities meet with a slow sale, at no alteration in value. The Flour trade is more firm than of late, but prices are unaltered.
