1 I• ~ ~~..a:i~ 7 `~"!~ ,' r~l~ , T f N EVEN ING EDIT tuN. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday the first Court of Common Council in the present Mayoralty was held, and was very fully attended. On taking the chair his Lordship said he had to thank the members of the Corporation for much past kindness afforded him in the offices he had already had the honour of holding, and on assuming the arduous duties of the Mayoralty, he trusted to be favoured with the kind assistance, not only of the members of the Corporation, but also with that of the City officers.— (Hear, hear.) He trusted—nay, from the number of 1, ...ind friends who had honoured him with their presence in that Court proved to him, that his conduct in his for mer offices had met with their approbation.—(Cheers.) He could assure them that his endeavour would be so to conduct himself during his year of office as to meet with the approbation of every member of ,that Court— (Cheers)—and he earnestly trusted that in discussing the many important matters which would necessarily come before them, they would have none of those un happy scenes which the Court had, not lately, but sometimes presented.—(Cheers.) He trusted that in all discussion g ood temper would prevail, and th a t th ere would be a laning one towards another.—(Cheers.) The Court would perhaps bear with him while he mentioned one subject, which he would be most happy were it . settled during the year it was his fortune to preside over their deliberations. In the Mayoralty of Sir J. Cowan in 1836, he (the Lord Mayor) was appointed as one of the Stewards to conduct the yearly meeting of the children belonging to the National Schools in St. Paul's—he then found that on the day of rehearsal the Vergers of the Cathedral were in the habit of receiv ing the money taken at the doors. Inquiries were made upon the subject, and it appeared that the Ver g ers were willi ng to g i ve up the practice upon being paid yearly the small sum of 1.51. each—they were four in number, so that for the small sum of 601., and by a little further arrangement, the whole of the money taken upon the occasion might be applicable to the Charities.—( Hear, hear.) Before sitting down he had to inform the Court that a short. time ago he had re ceived a very s plendid book from the author, Mr. Ward, " An Exposition of the Holy Bible," which he desired might be laid on the table of the library of the Corporation.—(Cheers). On the minutes of the last Court being read relative to the division on the grant of 1,0001. to the churches of Bethnal-green, Mr. Edkins said it appeared from them that he had voted on both sides.—(Laughter.) It was needless for him to say he had voted on only one, but he wished the error to be corrected. Two other members complained of inaccuracies in the minutes. A letter of thanks from the Committee for the above grant was read. Oa a Report, being presented from the Blackfriars' Bridge Committee, Mr. ANDERTON begged to ask when it was likely that the repairs of that Bridge would be finished. He bore evidence to the diligence of the Committee ; he by no means intended to cast any reflection upon them, but there was some a nx ir t y on t h e matter out o f d oors. 1 Mr. PRIOR, Chairman of the Committee, was glad to hear that the Committee were not blamed. He was happy to state it was the full belief of the Committee that the works would be perfectly finished by June next—(Hear, hear)--the entire works. He had much pleasure in stating that the Trustees of the Surrey Routs had met the Committee in the most handsome manner, and were now very considerably raising the whole road, which would no doubt greatly benefit the public, and therefore gratify then.—(Cheers.) Mr. WIRE begged to know how the Corporation steo.l with respect to the New Royal Exchange. Mr. JONES said the position of affairs was this :—The Committee hal made two references to different emi nent architects, for them to consider the eight plans selected as the best, but all had declined the task. Since the last refusal, the Committee had not further settled what was to be done. Mr. WIRE—Had nothing been done with reference to those petitions presented last Court-day, from the two selected architects. Mr. JONES said the petitions were before the Gresham Committee. As they had failed in the re ferences they had attempted to make, the petitions still remained for consideration. Mr. WIRE—The prayer of the petitions was, that they, the authors 'of the plans, might be be examined in order to show that they might be car ried into execution for the sum specified by the Com mittee. Surely when it had been said that they could tint, there could be no good reason for not exa nining them. Mr. TA.vr.ort said. no Committee could go into such an inquiry without proper assistance. They must have the Asistance of eminent architects, which they had yet failed in obtaining. Mr. HALL said the Committee on the City of Lon don Schools proceeded of themselves, and without the assistance of architects. Mr. JONES had no doubt there was much greater ability in that Committee. —(Laughter.) THANKS TO THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Mr. Deputy Hicics said, in bringing forward a motion of thanks to the g entleman who so l a t e l y pres id e d over them, he must beg the attention of the Court for a few moments while he gave his reasons for the terms in which it was couched. He had, in drawing it up, attempted to foilow as nearly as possible the usual form. There was an order of the Court directing all members to frame their resolutions according to truth and with impartiality. He had felt the force of that, and he had certainly drawn up his resolution in the words of truth and with impartiality. There was not a member of the. Court that would not give the late Lord Mayor credit for independence, ability, and impartiality. The first matter he took up was one of very great import ance—to the public generally, but to the poor and destitute especially. The conduct of the Lord Mayor prevented that unfortunate class of persons from being now driven from pillar to post as they were previously. They all felt that the Hon. Gentleman had done his day upon that occasion. The resolution he held in his hand spoke the feelings he entertained of the late Lord Mayor. He would therefore move it, and leave it in the hands of the Court : " That the thanks of this Court be presented to the Right Hon. Samuel Wilson, late Lord Mayor, for his able, independent, and impartial performance of the duties of that high and distinguished office especially. " For his firm and resolute determination in enforcing those provisions of the Poor-law Amendment Act by which relieving officers were compelled to administer to the urgent and immediate necessities of the helpless and destitute, setting an example to those Magistrates who had previously-felt compelled to commit those to a gaol whose only crime was their utter destitution. " For his respect and attachment to the rights and liberties of the people in permitting them publicly to assemble to discuss and petition for the redress of their supposed grievances, and for his energy and decision in suppressing the same when their proceedings had as sumed an illegal character. " For the zeal and ability with which he has main tained and upheld the Conservancy of the Thames, rigidly enforcing the bye-laws for improving its naviga tion, and protecting its fisheries, and specially for his dignified and hospitable conduct to several Trusts and Commissioners, having the management of . its upper districts, duringihis recent:visit in those parts, promoting thereby, among those distant authorities, that good understanding and cordial co-operation with this Court, in every measure tending to improve the navigation of a river so conducive to the best interests of this City." In the last paragraph he wished to speak more to the Court than to his Lordship ; he was anxious that they should once more record their feelings, and lay them again before the public, respecting the attempt lately made to wrest from them their dearest and most sacred priv;leges : " For his punctuality in attending, and his urbanity and firmness while presiding over this Court, particu larly during its late unanimous opposition and successful resistance to the attempt to wrest from the citizens of London their highly valued, long cherished, and ancient right of self-government and internal jurisdiction, for his readiness to convene this Court whenever so re quested. "For his patronage and support of the charitable i . ns titutio:e t o f t h e Ci ty, an d t h e lib era li ty w i t h w hi c h h e ha g, "-pbeld t h e anc i ent hosp i tal i ty of the C orporat i on, I ' ll 4 tor his friendly and courteous conduct not only to the member s of this Court, but to his fellow-citizens at large." Ur. Deputy PEWTRESS had much pleasure in se conding the motion, on account principally of the prompt and decisive conduct of the late Lord Mayor with re gard to the destitute poor, which deserved the highest commendation of every citizen of London, as well as of the members of that Court. At the commencement of his Lordship's Mayoralty, it was the practice of the Ma gistrates throughout the Metropolis, when persons in a destitute condition were brought before them, to admi nister some temporary relief, or send them for a short time to prison as a place ofrefuge, or to dismi ss th em from the office, with a deearation that it was not in their power to render them any relief. In that manner vast numbers of persons in a state of indigence and t me ighLto berd star vation were left in a perishing condition,ancl several were found dying from want. It was suggested to b Mayor that this tremendous and a ffl icting ev il easily remedied, if the Magistrates would uniformly re solve to carry out the provisioni of the N ew o Poor -l aw a sta te with regard to destitute persona in.urgent necessity, and to direct the of fi cers and po lice, instead of bringing such persons before the Magistrates, t o take directed by before the Relieving Officer, who was by the Poor-law Commissioners to afford immediate relief b e f ore any quest i ons were p u t to the d is tresse d persons, and in the event of any such destitute person being refused reli e f, t o summon th e R e lieving Of fi cer be fore the Magistrates, who would then be empowered to order effectual relief. His Lordship immediately made full inquiry, and finding that he was com pletely justified in pursuing that course, did not hesitate one moment, but commenced that humane and legal course which had been persevered in to the present time, and produced such beneficial results. --(Cheers.) These benefits had not been confined to clearing the streets of objects of distress in the city, but it had been the means of bringing the subject uuder the review of the Poor-law Commissioners, who issued their instructions to the several Boards of Guardians throughout the country, so that now we had a clear distinction drawn between poverty and crime, the destitute being legally entitled to immediate relief from the Officers and Guardians of the Poor, while the idle vagrant was committed to the charge of the police and the Magistrate. It required no ordi nary firmness of mind in the Lord Mayor to commence and pursue a course so recently introduced into his distinguished office, and for which there was no prece deat, but his Lordseip did not shrink from the duty, but had nobly performed it, although his efforts met with much resistance. The misery that had been pre vented, and the ample relief that had been afforded, could not be estimated, but the ample records of the Boards of Guardians could abundantly testify as to the great number of persons who had thus been re lieved during the late, as compared with any preceding, Mayoralty.—(Hear, hear.) He felt, therefore, that his Lordship deserved the best thanks of this Court.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. R. TAYLOR said the Lord Mayor, who had lately retired, had indeed done much for the benefit of the destitute poor. His friend (Mr. Pewtress) did not say so much upon the subject as he might have done— probably his reason was b ecause h e h a d b een th e ma i n instrument in calling his Lordship's attention to the grievance—the gross hardships under which the desti tute poor laboured. He was of opinion that it would be much the better plan to follow that which had been the practice of old, and make the vote of thanks much more general than they had been of late. It was too much the practice to single out particular points for thanks, and he thought it was one more honoured in the breach than the observance. Mr. WILLIAM JONES observed that in proposing an amendment to the vote of thanks just read, it was not to be understood that he wished to detract from the merits of their late Chief Magistrate ; on the contrary, he was ready to admit that be had claims on the Court ; and willing to testify his own individual approbation, and to convey to him that of the Court in such terms as would secure unanimity, which could alone render it ac ceptable. In the first sentence he fully concurred ; laut the three following he considered uncalled for, and cal culated to excite discussion and a difference of opinion, and therefore he would propose their omission. To the second sentence he (Mr. Jones) felt a decided objection, for whilst he admitted and admired the laudable zeal and humane exertions of the late Lord Mayor, in the course he took to give effect to what he deemed the provisions of the Poor-law Act, yet, as to subscribe to this part of the vote would be to cast censure upon others not be fore the Court, and whom it would be uncharitable to suppose acted otherwise than from the purest of motives, he would give it his opposition.—(Hear.) The other two sentences he submitted, not being called forth by any extraordinary services or interference on the part of the late Lord Mayor, ought not to be particularised to the prejudice of those who had preceded and were likely to follow him in the civic chair. tion that would soon be submitted to it, and thus the sub ject would not again come before the Court. Mr. BURTON deprecated all discussion of such a na ture in that Court. He agreed in the last observations of Mr. Ta) lor. Sir P. LAURIE said the question was not one of money. He would read them a passage from the sermon.---(Cries of " No, no.") Then he would not ; but he could never agree to a money grant for the printing of a sermon, in which two of the best men were stigmatised —in which Wesley and Whitfield were put on a level with the Apostles of the Catholic faith. He would not object to pay the money, if the Court would brand the sermon as the most uncharitable one that was ever preached.—(Confusion.) Mr. GADSDEN expressed his deep regret that the subject of the sermon alluded to had been brought under the consideration of the Court—an arena certainly not adapted for such a discussion. He felt much surprised at hearing, upon a former occasion, from a gentleman who was well known to be opposed to the Church of England, the observation that he was not in the habit of frequenting the Church, and after such an exhibition of intolerance as he then heard from the Rev. Gentle man, he should not be tempted to go again. He had read the sermon with great attention, and he thought it would be much better if members would put their fingers upon objectionable pass ages ra th er th an d ea l i n whole sale censure. He was prepared to take the bull by the horns, and boldly declared that the passage relative to Wesley and Whitfield di -.1 not deserve the interpretation put upon it. The discourse was evidently directed against Catholicism, and in allusion to those bold Re formers and good men, the preacher readily admitted that they were actuated by pure intentions, and all he sought to prove was, that by causing divisions in the Christian body, amongst those who equally abhorred Popery, and who differed in discipline only and not in doctrine, that body became exposed to the crafty Jesuit, the in fidelity of the zealous Owen, and to the ministry of the lowest of the people. He also made a comparison be tween Wesley and Whitfield, and Dominic and Ig natius, but it would be observed that it was only as regarded their zeal, and it surely would not be urged that in his clerical character, and under the conscientious impression that danger existed, the Rev. Gentleman exceeded his duty.— (Cheers.) Again, the picture drawn by Mr. Cator of the respect paid to a Cbief Magistrate, who had filled his office with propriety and judgment could not be viewed as misplaced, and he well alluded to the oppor tunity of acquiring that respect afforded to all citizens, of whatever degree.—( Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Gads den) expressed his hope that those who knew him would rer.dil) acquit him of bigotry or intolerance. He considered the subject of religion most important, but strictly personal, and no member of the Court had a right to question the conscientious opinions which an other might entertain.—(Hear, hear.) In that spirit he called upon Dissenters to extend the fair latitude to a Clergyman of the Church of England, whilst exer cising his sacred office, and exonerating, as he did, Mr. Cator from the charge conveyed, he unhesitatingly voted for the motion, and could not sit down without offering his well-merited tribute of respect to Mr. Wire, w to had met the question with so much moderation. Mr. PEWTRESS considered that after the repeal of the 'rest and Corporation Acts the expressions objected were most uncalled for, illiberal, and bigotted ; for all Members in a Corporation now stood on equal ground, and such observations from a Mayor's Chaplain were an insult to the Corporation from one of its servants. Looking at the literary attainments of the Rev. Gentle man, he was astonished to find him so utterly mistake the passage from which he spoke. Paul claimed the right of citizenship to escape personal punishment. Paul at one time was a most orthodox personage, going out with letters from the High Priest to put down all Dissenters of those days. In his journey an event took place which changed the whole tenor of his conduct, and he became a most eminent leader of Dissent ; how, then, had the whole matter been misunderstood, at all events misrepresented by the Reverend Gentleman ? He really hoped this would be the last occasion for such a discussion. Mr. NORRIS seconded the amendment, and observed that whatever the late Lord Mayor's claim on the ap probation of the Court might be, he never could con sent that the language in which that approbation was expressed should be such as would convey, even by im plication, a censure on others, whose duties were equally important with those of the Chief Magistrate of the City. The proposition to thank the Lord Mayor for his intervention with the administration of the new Poor law Act, not only far overrated the amount of his ser vices, but it expressed that erroneous estimate in lan guage which conveyed censure on the other Magistrates, and the Guardians of the City and Metropolitan Unions. —( Hear, hear.) He, Mr. Norris, would boldly aver that the East London Union (in which the district he represented was included) had pursued precisely the same course in the administration of the Poor-law before, as they had done since the late Lord Mayor expressed his opinion on the subject ; indeed, not only in the East London Union, but in the Western and the City Unions, there ever had been a humane considera tion of the claims and distresses of the " poor and needy," and high law authorities had previously inter preted the construction of the New Poor-law Act to be that which the proposition before the Court claimed as the new discovery of the late Lord Mayor, the fact being that not only his brother Magistrates understood it, but in the several unions he had named, humane in dividuals were engaged in so administering it.---( Hear.) If such was not the case, let the Chairman of the City Union, who was a Magistrate, and now present, deny it ; and let the Deputy Chairman of the East London Union, who was a member of the Court, state whether at their Board any new mode of procedure bad been adopted in consequence of the intervention of the late Lord Mayor.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever the opinion of the Court was of the services of the late Lord Mayor, FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. they certainly could not record that opinion in terms (From the Globe.) which conveyed more praise than was due, or by impli- We have been most unwillingly drawn into a contro cation even expressed censure on equally good and es- versy about the comparative morality of leading mem timable men.---( Hear, hear.) hers of the Tory and Liberal parties.

Mr. ROGERS said the late Lord Mayor in the case duals, the character of the Tory party, and the feelings had done no more than his duty as a Magistrate, and of many of its members, are liable to suffer quite why should they step out of their way to thank him for as much on exactly the same score. To deal in that ? such attacks—to inflict such pain on individuals who Mr. JONES did not mean to object to the conduct of are not themselves guilty of the attack, is most pain the late Lord Mayor respecting the Poor-laws, but he ful.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TTIE SUN, LONDON, FIIIDAV, SOVEMBER 21, i 839, should tend to encourage the belief in a conclu sion as sudden as unexpected. Three distinct sets of propositions for the adjustment of this questio vexata, emanating from the three rival Powers who take the lead, were still in debate, and, to all appearance, re mained as irreconcileable as ever. The proposition of Great Britain was to leave Egypt to Mehemet Ali for his life, and the government of Syria for his sons, with the exception of the Pachalic of Acre, which should be surrendered to the Porte. The counter proposal of France is to confirm Mehemet Ali in the hereditary possession, that is perpetual sovereignty, of Egypt, with the addition of the whole of Syria except the district of Adana, and the island of Candia. The combination proposed on the part of Russia, by M. Brunow, during his I,te special mission, was to support the English programme, on condition that a Protectorate should be established in favour of Russia, by the permitted occupation and defence of Constantinople by a Russian army and fleet, with the proviso, moreover, that the British squadron should not be allowed the entrance of the Dardanelles, although, as now it might be tolerated outside. Such is the outline of the conflicting views of the Three Powers, each tenaciously adhered to, and to this hour, we believe, with out any sensible variation in the shape of mutual concession and a closer understanding. We have the best proof in the undisguised determina tiOn of Louis Philippe that nothing short of the direst necessity will compel him to change or materially to modify the leading features of his policy on this ques tion. The contingency of such necessity is, however, extremely improbable, for on no subject of home or foreign interest are the French people so united, and the Sovereign so secure of supp ort , as on t h e E astern Question. Our own private advices from Paris, from quarters entitled to all credit, represent the Monarch to b 3 inflexibly fixed in his course, an d t h at t h e most per feet unanimity reigns in the Cabinet on this head.

For export there are few orders for Brandy, the home trade buy sparingly, and confine their purchases to good brands, which command previous rates ; common kinds may be bought on easier terms.

Hitherto Scotland appears ,to have escaped the injurious effects of this momentary crisis much better than England, but they are beginning no% to complaiu that the storm has overtaken them at last.—Globe. DELAY OF THE RAILROAD MAILS.—Some anxiety was caused at the General Post-office on Wed nesday morning by the non-arrival of the Birmingham mail, due at half-past five, but not received until a quar ter past nine. The delay was accounted for by the bad state of the railroad, the rails having become so slippery that the carriage -wheels would not act upon them. Yesterday morning the Birmingham mail was again de layed until half-past eight, three hours after time, in con sequence, as was stated, of the heavy fall of snow on that line of road. Yesterday morning also the South ampton mail per railroad, which should have been re ceived at half-past six, did not arrive until three hours afterwards. It is stated that, owing to some accident, the train had slipped off the rail!. After a long delay, however, the extra engine was despatched, and brought up the mail, leaving the carriages and passengers behind, until matters could be rectified. STARTLING FACTS.—The late three years' war with England, the most powerful nation in the world, cost the United States about 90,000,000 dollars. The . three years' war in Florida, with a remnant tribe of Seminole Indians and a few runaway negroes, has cost us 40,000,000 dollars, or nearly half of the whole ex pense of our war with England. In the war with Eng land, our navy and army, after covering themselves with glory, achieved an honourable peace. The war against the miserable Indians and negroes was wickedly com menced, has been ingloriously conducted, and threatens to be interminable. There is not i n th e hi story o f wars among civilised nations, a parallel for the wantonness, imbecility, and corruption which distinguish this humi liating, dishonourable, infamous crusade.—New York Paper. SIR JOHN MOORE.—John Thompson, the old servant of the Hero of Corunna, who received his wounded master in his arms, and afterwards took a con spicuous part in the "Soldier's Grave," is still living, and now drives one of Wilson's Holloway omnibuses.

EFFECTS OF THE WEATHER ON HEALTH.— During Wednesday night four police constables of the E division whilst on duty were so seriously and suddenly seized with internal cramp that they were taken to the station-house, and from thence to their homes for me dical assistance. Their illness is attributed to the weather. A VERY IMPUDENT THlEF.—Joseph Gardner was remanded by the magistrates of Colchester, on Thursday, upon a charge of stealing a pair of trousers, belonging toMessrs.Bedwell, pawnbrokers and clothiers. Mr. Bedwell stated that the prisoner, on Wednesday last, went up to the door of his shop, took down a pair of trousers hanging there, and after taking off the ticket he instantly took the trousers into the shop and offered to pledge them. Prisoner has been in various prisons, last year in Coldbeth-fields, and has been just released from Woodbridge Gaol, where he had been confined six months.—Essex Herald. Yesterday morning, between four and five o'clock, an individual of highly respectable appearance was brought to St. George's Hospital, in a state of insensi bility, and evidently suffering from some serious internal injuries. The parties who accompanied the gentleman left the institution without giving any explanation. Mr. Guthrie, one of the house surgeons, immediately at tended the patient, who was removed to bed as soon as possible and the best surgical treatment afforded him, but he expired about nine o'clock the same morn ing. Yesterday, some of the deceased's friends, who are people evidently moving in a superior sphere of life, attended at the hospital, but objected to the name, pro fession, or address of the deceased. The inquest is ap pointed to be held this day. TORY INSULTS TO THE QUEEN.—At the Colston anniversary dinner at Bristol, upon the toast of the Lord Lieutenant of the county (Lord Segrave), the Hon. F. H. P. Berkeley, Member for Bristol, in returning thanks, took occasion to explain that his brother, the Lord Lieutenant, had been obliged to abstain from attending clerical dinners for charitable objects, in consequence of the indecent insults which et such meetings were offered to the Queen. Mr. F. H. F. Berkeley remarked, with excellent spirit and abi lity, on the outrages of this sort which now,charaterise all Tory meetings.—Wiltshire Independent. The seed time being so very unfavourable, parti cularly on the strong wheat lands, it is recommended to sow the wheat broad cast, and to fork it in. The ex pense upon the whole would not be a great deal more than that of drilling and harrowing.— Worcester Journal. PRICES OF CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARga &c. &c.

SUGAR—On the part of the grocers there bas been an increased disinclination to purchase West India Sugar this week, and the demand has been very limited for all descriptions ; the refiners have also bought sparingly, but the merchants have only submitted to a reduction on previous rates of Is for low yellow and brown, and 6d for good yellow qualities; the sales for the three days have amounted to only 900 hhds &c., including a 120 hhds Barbadocs at auction went 6d cheaper, good to fine yellow fetched 6656 d to 68s, mid. dling to good middling 65s to 665, low middling 62s 6d per cwt ; privately, middling groy Jamaica, Grenada, and Dominica have been disposed of at 605 to 61s, good mid dling yellow St Kitts 635, and good Jamaica 65s per cwt ; the lower kinds of Sugar are the most difficult to dis pose of : the stock is 2,294 hhds &c larger than it was at this period iu 1831, and there is every appearance that the surplus will be much larger by the next returns from the Docks 500 hhds having beers received since our last report, where as d ur i ng t h e same period last year nothing wail imported. This afternoon th e mar k e t closed very .dull, the week are o n l y 1, 100 hhd s , ac., at prices is lower, ex the sales f or cepting for fine yellow kinds, which are only 6d cheaper. REFINED.—In the value of Refined goods little change has taken place since our last report, and easier prices have been submitted to; standard lumps sell. ing at 78s to 783 6d, and brown lumps at 75s to 77s per cwt. Pieces have maintained previous rates. Bastards on lower terms. Treacle of common quality 31s per cwt. Patent and the best old make 33s to 35s per cwt, 10lbs 373 6d, and for 141bs 36s have been accepted. Treacle has secured a fair sale at I3s 6d. For Crushed Sugar 84s to 34s 6d, deliverable in two and three weeks. Dutch is offered at 32a 6d. To-day there was little passing in refined goods for home use ; but in prices there is no further change, although the market is better supplied ,• bonded crushed continues in request, at the rates quoted above, in other articles there is no variation. MA URITIUS.— Importers have refused to s ubmit to any further reduction. This afternoon the private sales were limited, and 248 bags at auction sold cheaper, viz. at 54s to 56s for good strong brown. EAST INDlA.—Manilla, good to fine brown 20s to 21s, ordinary 19s 6d, washed 17s 6d to 19$ 6d per cwt; EVENING EDITION. DUTCH MAIL. VIENNA, Nov. 18.—The Duke de Blacas, the faith ful adherent of the Princes of the elder branch of the i House of BoUrbon, and who recently remained with .. them in banishment in Germany, died here yesterday, ' in the 69th year of Isis age, after a long sickness.

CAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS HIGHWAYMA' —l n the month cf Novemb, 138, as Mr. Josepi: Meads, a large farmer and a er uctio B neer, was returning home from Leighton Buzzard market, he was stopped by four men, who robbed him of his watch, money, Sre• Tan of the men were captured the next morning at Ampthill, the others narrowly escaping. Mr. Murray', the active high constable of Uxbridge, having read an account of the robbery and a description of the men who had escaped, kept a sharp look-out f o r them, think ing it probable they might make towards that town. He was right in his expectations, and on the 9th of December last he captured one of them, named James Whitty, through whom he t raced the money, &c., which had been left with a beer-sbop keeper near Ampthill. This man and three prisoners were transported fortc the offence. Since that time Mu rra y has been on the for the fourth of the party, but without success until Monday, when, assisted by Larkin, the Jeckinghanle constable, he apprehended him at Uxbridge. His na m , . is Thomas Cuff, and he is a well-l mown and most "F termined fellow. He was removed to Woburn, and fully committed for trial.—Buths Herald. ..........,..rrO PLATE.—A. B.
