W e were much alarmed here this morning with a "rt'tY of Gr,:c e 0 )t D o k e of \\ -ad ; lint. on gully, is appeals that the extent of his Grace's ill ness has been exaggerated. We understand the Duk e had been out with the East Kent harriers, alt ,ough it was a rainy day, and that he had been IP.tely suffering much from severe c&d ; and that When dressing for dinner, about six o'clock, he was taken suddenly and alarmingly ill, and prewnted Joining the party, consisting of some friends and some of the officers of the Dover garrison. We hear, with great satisfaction, that his Grace passed a quiet night, and that he is better to-day, and that M'Arthur, the physician who attends his Grace at Walmer, considers the attack to have proceeded entirely from exhaustion. An express was immediately despatched to London, requiring the attendance of Dr. Hume ; and we are happy to learn he arrived at Waltner Castle this afternoon. SHAK BPE ARE.

To be had of all Booksellers. (From the Times.) Our Dover Correspondent sent us last night the following melanchcly intelligence. In common with every tight-minded person in the kingdom, we most cordially hope and pray, that if the informa tion be correct, the attack may be less serious than our informant seems to apprehend " Dover, Nov. 19. " Last evening, about half-past six o'clock, the Duke of Wellington was taken speechless. Dr. M'Arthur was immediately sent for, with Mr. Halke, the surgeon, who were in attendance as soon as possible, and by reports the Duke remained speechless till six o'clock in the morning ; but it is said he is something better to-day. His physicians were sent for from London, and arrived this after noon at three o'clock." (From the Morning Post.) Our readers will universally participate in the deep regret with which we received late last night a communication from our Dover correspondent, announcing that his Grace the Duke of Wellington had sustained a sudden and alarming attack of in disposition on Monday evening, while dressing for dinner at Walmer Castle. We sincerely hope that we may soon be enabled to allay the deep and ge neral anxiety which this announcement cannot fail to produce. The following is the letter of our cor respondent : " Dover, Nov. 19, Five o'Clock. " Last evening, about half-past six, the Duke of Wellington had a serious attack at Walmer Castle, as he was preparing for dinner. Dr. M'Arthur and Mr. Halite, of Deal, were sent for, and attended immediately. His Grace remained speechless some time, but was relieved by the appli cation of leeches. Report says the Duke is some thing better to-day. Dr. Hume, his Grace's phy sician, was sent for, and arrived this afternoon at three o'clock. Dr. Hume is still in attendance." (From the Morning Advertiser.) DOVER, NOV. 19.—Last evening, Walmer was in great consternation, from a report that the Duke of Wellington was taken speechless, and remained so till six o'clock this morning. Dr. M'Arthur and Mr. Halke were sent for, and by applying a quan tity of leeches he became somewhat better, and his speech returned ; it is reported also he continues better to-day. His physician was sent for from London, and arrived this day at three o'clock, and is still in attendance. (From the Chronicle.) We regret to learn that the report was current yesterday in well-informed circles, that the Duke of 'Wellington has experienced a relapse, and that Dr. ILJume left town on Monday night by express for Waimer Castle, to attend on his Grace. Since writing the above, we have received the following account from our Dover correspondent, which, we deeply regret to say, confirms the report of his Grace's serious illness : DOVER, NOV. 19.—Last evening, about half past six, his Grace the Duke of Wellington was taken speechless at Walmer Castle. Dr. M'Arthur and Mr. Halke, of Deal, were sent for, and at tended immediately, when he was relieved by the application of leeches. Report says his Grace is something better to-day. Dr. Hume, his physi cian, was sent for, and arrived this afternooon at th.ree o'clock, and is still in attendance." ISMA LL NOTES AND SILVER CUR RENCY TO TIME EDITOR OF THE Nov.l UN. S B, 1839. .noticed a short tune since a letter in your paper, purporting to be signed by a "Country Banker, ' wherein he states that a large quantity of sovereigns are now in the hands of Country Bank ers, and that they are prevented sending them to London in consequence of the Bank of England refusing to receive any sovereign that is light, although that lightness might originate in wear. In consequence of the deficiency of the harvests for the last year or two, we have been compelled to buy su eh a large quantity of foreign corn, that it has turivid the exchanges against this country. I believe this opinion was given in the House of Commons a short time since by a most influential member of the commercial world, that the balance of trade was the sole or chief cause, of the dis tress now existing ; it becomes a matter of serious consideration what the Government ought now to do. Recollect this distress did not occur owing to any imprudence of the commercial interests, and under such circum..stances, is it not a duty incum bent on Government to use all possible means in order to reduce the distress now existing, for if it is allowed to continue, an immense numer of men will be discharged from the manufactories, which will increase the evil, and Government will be also a considerable loser by the dimjnished consump tion on excisable articles. I shouia stl, , zgest that as there is now a considerable quantity of go::. 1 in this Country not in active circulation, that an Order _in Council be made to authorise the Bank of England to circulate about three, four, or five millions of on e and two pound notes, and that silver to the amount of fifteen pound be considered a legal ten der as well as every Bank of England note ; this Nould bring most of the gold into active circulation ; antl as soon as the balance of trade comes in our fav ut ,..,. the one and two pound Bank of England notes c,' k 1 be withdrawn from circulation. I remain Sir, yours, A MERCHANT AND SHIPOWNER. CORN AND CURRENCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Rivers, Durslev, Gloucestershire, Nov. 19. cannot sufficiently applaud most of the opinions contained in " Argent's" long letter on Currency and Corn in The Sun of Saturday last. feel confident that if they were acted upon we shatild be relieved from most of our difficulties. I can nu t, how ever, understand his logic where he at tempts i. throw at the late Mr. Cobbett. He says " the clamour against small notes originated with Cobbett, who would never have cried them down if he had had plenty of them i n hi s poc k et, an d w h o the Regi s t er ,' as he d i d locust ' cried up gold in only inference trees." Now the from this is, that Mr. Cobbett had plenty of gold and locust-treas. And yet, I think, this cannot be the writer's meaning, because, if such were the case, it must have been Mr. Cobbett's own fault if he had not plenty of small notes in his pocket. Perhaps " Argent" will be kind enough to let us know his meaning, at least if he has any. lam afraid it Was nothing but little paltry spite towards the memory of this truly peat man, which dictated this part of " Argent's" letter. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE LISTER. SMITHFIELD PRIZE-CATTLE SHOW.—It will be seen from an a dvertisement in this day's paper, that the prize exhibition, as we stated some days ago, is to be held this year in the Horse Bazaar, Portman-square. This is a change greatly for the better. In the new place there is plenty of room and light, with good ac cess, and all who are fond of witnessing this interesting exhibition will now have the opport unity without going through a purgatory which did not tend to purification. The Old Repository was the most dirty, dark, and dis agreeable place that could well be found in the metro polis for such a purpose. To-morrow will be the anniversary of the splendid I val victo r y o bt a i ne d b y th e B r itish fleet under Lor d Hawke, in the year 1759. RA TISBON, 'Nov. 11.—Their Imperial High nesses th e Archduke Maximili an o f Austria, and the Hereditary Prince of Modena, arrived here the day be'ore yesterday. Yesterday they visited the Walhal a and the curiosities of this city, aad this morning pro ceeded on their journey to Italy. LONDON : WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1839. A Morning Contemporary says that " Sum monses have been issued to all the Privy Council to attend the QUEEN on Saturday next, to receive a communication from her MAJESTY. We are not at liberty to allude to the subject of this com munication, but it may be readily inferred." .. If it may be readily inferred, why not allude to it, and why make a mystery about an event which interests every British subject ? Could any cir cumstance at present but one call for the attend ance of all the Privy Council, and is not that cir cutngtance the intended marriage of our Most Gracious and Most Beloved SOVEREIGN ? The peculiar and unhappy conformation of the Tory mind is most conspicuous in its treatment of the Postage question. It can find no satisfaction in the reduction of the long rates to fourpence, none in the gradual introduction of the plan of levying the postage by weight and of pre-payment, none in the certainty that this will prepare the way for the Penny Postage, and none in the mani fold advantages which the proposed alteration will confer on every person who has to send a letter beyond the bounds of the present fourpenny districts. The Tory mind can only find satisfaction in a part of the plan, which it supposes will add to the sums levied for the postage of letters, and it gloats over that with infinite delight. Since the Times found out yesterday, and stated in An article which we inserted, and to which we refer our readers, that inhabitants of Birmingham and Dudley, Man, chester S t "t' towns, would tie port, and a number of other seriously injured by the Treasury rournals have found co rres- Minute—other T or y ~ "Iplaints on tho carne pondent s t o ma k e h eav y co , subject. It i s s i ngu l ar an d su , spici:" s ihat non : of the ill-treated inhabitants of those have come forward to complain, and have pot showered their correspondence on the newspapers nor their memorials on the Treasury. They seem, as far as we can judge from their silence and the language used by their Journals, to be most pro vokingly pleased with the Treasury Minute. They do not complain of the injury done them, but the Tory Journals, all at once, become the strenuous ad vocates for strict and impartial justice to all classes take up their wrongs and throw them at the heads of the Ministers. One reason, probably, why the inhabitants of those towns do not complain, is that every one of them is beyond the 4d. district from London, and their pleasure at the reduction to 4d. for their chief correspondence, hides from them the little in convenience which much reflection has enabled the microscopic eye of the grievance -hunter of the Times to detect. Each of these towns has corre sptridence w i t h places still more distant than Lon don, and on all that correspondence the inhabitants will obtain a reduction of the rates of postage. The only letter.S, in fact, on which the inhabit ants of the towns situated within the four-penny distance of each other, will have to pay a heavier rate, after the sth of December and before the penny rate is established, than at present, are single letters weighing more than half an ounce and less than an ounce,. To ascertain the proportion of such letters to the whole, 2,200 single letters were weighed, and of them only 46 exceeded half an ounce, or a fraction more than 2 per cent. On only two letters, therefore, out of every 100, will th e in habitants of the towns enumerated by the Times suffer an increase of po stage ; an d t h ey w ill on ly be liable to that if they co not c h oose to su bstitute thin and light for thick and heavy paper. All the double and treble letters now sent by the inhabitants of those townA are liable to doable and triple postage,• but after the .sth of December, if they do not exceed half an ounce in weight, though they should be six-fold, they will only have to pay single postage. To ascertain what proportion such letters bear to the whole, 2,000 letters were taken Now ready, Vols. 111. and IV. with Illustrations, being the CONCLUDING VOLUMES OF THE MEMOIRS of CHARLES MATHEW'S, COMEDIAN, By Mrs. MATHEWS. * l .* A Second Edition of Vols.

Of these double and triple letters 86, or four per cent. of the whole, weighed less than half an ounce, and 36, or less than two per cent., weighed between half an ounce and an ounce. On four per cent. of the letters, therefore, we►ghing less than half an ounce, the suffering in habitants of the towns, whose hard fate almost drew tears of blood from the Times, will be re lieved from double postage, and on something less than two per cent. of their letters they will have to pay a double instead of a triple postage. When their disadvantages, on the whole, are represented by two per cent., and their advantages by six per cent., exclusive of the many advantages they enjoy in common with all the community on all letters they send beyond a fourpenny district, it is not surprising that they left their woes to be found out by the Times. We are glad to have the power of stating these facts, because the bold manner in which the Times makes one-sided, semi-false assertions is calculated to gain for it more credence than it deserves. If the circumstances it yesterday mentioned were true, according to the letter of its descriptions, if the Lords of the Treasury in drawing up their Minute had not taken them into consideration, if in their wish to introduce a general improvement they had inflicted a grievance on those towns, we should have been disposed to join the Times in asserting that they were not acquainted with their business. The reverse, however, is the case, and the inhabitants of those towns will, we believe, derive great benefits from the temporary improvement, as well as the inhabitants of every part of the empire. Some misapprehension seems to exist as to the motive for introducing the plan of levying the post age by weight before the introduction of the penny postage and the pre-payment. 'The motive is to familiarize the gentlemen of the Post-office with one branch of the system before they have to learn another. Such a vast glut of letters is anticipated, as prospectuses, &c., on first commencing the penny postage, that great difficulty will probably occur even with all possible precautions ; and the wise and prudent care which is now taken to meet all those difficulties is what, in fact, mortifies the Tories. They would have no objection to see the Post-office thrown into confusion, and the excel lent plan of a penny postage brought into disfavour by being carried into execution in a hasty unthink ing manner. According to the Tories the lower classes are the most ungrateful set of men in existence. They never will acknowledge the numerous advantages which the laws and the Constitution confer on them, but are perpetually and most unreasonably endea vouring to effect changes. Such restless ingrati tude the Tories always conclude can be only duly punished by severe laws, to which obedience must be enforced by the treadmill and the bayonet. Of the wise, just, and good laws and institutions for which the people have to be grateful, the following case may serve as a sample : QIIrEEN-SQUARE.—On Monday John Jennery, a middle-aged man, was charged with having hawked a work-box for sale, contrary to the provisions of the 50th of Geo. 111., cap. 41, sec. 23. The complaint was laid by William Skinner, officer of stamps. The defendant was asked to plead " guilty" or " not guilty ;" to which he replied that he was not aware that he had done wrong, but he did offer a work-box for sale, as stated in the complaint. I made the work-box with my own hands, and was trying to sell it. Skinner—lt was not offered for sale in a place allowed by law. Mr. Burrell read the clause. It sets forth that any person, not having a license as a hawker and pedlar, might offer goods of his own manufacture for sale in any " mart, market, or fair, or any city, borough, town corporate, or market town only." The offence complained of is, that this man offered the box for sale out of the city, borough, &c., allowed. Skinner—Yes, in the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea. Mr. Burrell—l find this a 101. penalty. I hope I have the power of mitigation. The Chief Clerk—No, Sir, you have not. It is im perative on you to convict in that sum. Defendant—l am starving, as well as my family of five children. I took this, the only box I had, out to sell, and was unsuccessful. I was o bliged'to•piodge ft that night for 4s. to buy food for my children. Mr. Burrell—What course does.the law point out l in default of payment? Chief Clerk—You are to commit the man to gaol, and issue a distress warrant against his goods. Skinner—Under the not he is to be sent to prison until it is ascertained whether he has effects enough to pay the penalty and costs. If after the distraint the goods are not sufficient, he must remain in prison, to be liberated at any time the penalty is paid. Mr. Burrell—Have you any means of paying this penalty of 10/. ? Defendant—None whatever, Sir. Starvation stares us in the face. Every thing I possess in the world is not worth 21. What offence have I committed ? I have tried to sell, to find a subsistence for a wife and five starving children, the labour of my own hands. Mr. Burrell—ls there no way by which this nian's fine may be mitigated ? Skinner—None, but by a petition to the Treasury. Mr. Burrell—Say that I recommend it ; but this poor man in the interim must go to prison, I suppose. Defendant was locked up to undergo the term of im prisonment, three months, should the application to the Treasury be unsuccessful. This case we learn, by a report which will be found in another part of the paper, has attracted the notice of a benevolent individual who has taken steps to relieve the man. We trust also that the protninency we have given to it may induce the Treasury not only instantly to have the man dis charged, but to take measures for overhauling the statute-book and removing from it this and all similar iniquitous regulations. To punish a man for honestly endeavouring to gain bread for his family by the sale of his own labour, is an abomination. Unfortunately similar abominations are too frequent in the statute-book, and they vex and gall the souls of the poor far more than they ac are sins'every wally injure them. Such enactments are like rings arms and legs, which do not impede on the :. l aves' ons, perpetually remind them that their oserti ,very day something of the kind theyhappens, day the disposition of the lower classes 18 L oured and embittered, till they talk and lose all respect for the rights of othermen, stupid laws and their consequences, IQ MR ( : te an abode no longer act i l 0 treason, England, by suet) pleasant or safe to dwell in. A letter on the causes of the riots in Wales, by a Welshman, in another part of The Sun, traces them to a higher source than temporary discontent. We are afraid our Correspondent is correct, and that in this, as in many other cases, it will be found that those who rise up against the law are driven to it by insult& and oppression, and in the first instance, at least, are more sinned against than sinning. Some of our Contemporaries having called in question the constitutional power of the Provincial Legislatures of the United States separately to contract loans at home and abroad, the Mtssrs. BARING and BROTHERS addressed a letter, dated the 12th ult., to the Hon. DANIEL WEBsTER, then on a visit to this country, requesting from him a legal opinion on the subject. The answer of the Hon. Gentleman, dated the 16th, removes all doubt upon the subject. He distinctly states that each Provincial Legislature has such a power, adding, f‘ how any doubt upon the subject could have arisen it is difficult for me to conceive." Mr. WEBSTER, in common with most Transatlantic statesinen, appears to regard brevity in either speak ing at writing with little favour fie has, there fore, put it oat of our power, in the present c covided state of our aojprn„,, to give his letter we cannot mak e room f or di ssertat i ons , e ntire, a e r well m id by whomsoever written, On the Constitutional Government of America ; but the following extracts from it, as enibr4eing the opinions o f a EtAtes man so intimately conversant;:7,4/0 the co mmercial anti gen=eral relations of the American people, and with their ideas regarding public cre dit, are deserving of the attention of the British public. Their publication at the present time is likely to be attended with beneficial consequences : " It has been said that the States cannot be sued on these bonds. But neither could the United States be sued, nor, as I suppos e , th e Crown , of England, in a like case. Nor would the power of suing, probably, give the creditor any substantial additional security. The solemn obligation of a Government, arising on its own acknowledged bond, would not be enhanced by a judgment rendered on such bond. If it either could not, or would not, make provision for paying the bond, it is not probable that it could, or would, make provi sion or satisfying the judgment. " The States cannot rid themselves of their obligations otherwise than by the honest payment of the debt. They can pass no law impairing the obligation of their own contracts—they can make nothing a tender in dis charge of such contracts but gold and silver. They possess all adequate power of providing for the case by taxes and internal means of revenue. They cannot get round their duty, nor evade its force. Any failure to fulfil their undertakings would be an open violation of public faith, to be followed by the penalty of dishonour and disgrace ; a penalty, it may be presumed, which nu state of the American Union would be likely to incur. " I hope I may be justified by existing circumstances to close this letter with the expression of an opinion of a more general nature. It is that I believe the citizens of the United States, like all honest men, regard debts, whether public or private, and whether existing at home or abroad, to be of moral as well as legal obliga tion, and I trust I may appeal to their history, from the moment when those States took their rank among the nations of the earth to the present time, for proof that this belief is well founded ; and if it were possible that any of the States should at any time so entirely lose her self respect and forget her duty as to violate the faith solemnly pledged for her pecuniary engagements, I believe there is no country upon earth—not even that. of the injured creditors—in which such a proceeding would meet with less countenance or indulgence than it would receive from the great mass of the American people. " I have the honour to be, gentlemen, " Your obedient, servant, " DANIEL WEBSTER." There is very little news in the French Journals of Monday. In the Moniteur of that date we find the following telegraphic despatch, which has caused the greatest joy at the Tuileries : " MARSEILLES, NOV. 15. " THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE BTII MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The Princcßoyal came out of quarantine this morning at half-past 11. An immense concourse of people as sembled on his passage, and received him with acclama tion. His Royal Highness is to leave for Lyons on the 17th at noon." A second despatch announces the entry of the PRINCE ROYAL into Marseilles, amid a vast con course of the inhabitants, who received him with shouts of joy. The Moniteur likewise contains the following authentic intelligence respecting the assassination of the Count D'EsPAGNE, of which we yesterday ventured to express a doubt, when quoting the statement from the Emancipation of Toulouse. The Moniteur of Monday says : " It is beyond question that the Count d'Espagne has been murdered by his escort. All the informa tion received from the frontier confirms that intel ligence. On the ith of November a dead body was interred at Coll de Nargo. It was that of a drowned man taken out of the Segra ; his feet and hands were bound ; his age, corpulency, and his white and reddish hair, indicated it to be the body of the Count d'Esragne. Every one is afraid to mention the circumstance, the factious having theatened to murder whoever says a word on the subject. The Governor of Scu d'Urgel has sent an agent to Coll de Nargo to inquire into the truth of the fact." The Madrid Journals received are of the llth inst., but they add nothing to the previous accounts from that capital. M. Ellaury, who has just arrived at Havre, on board the Paraguay, is not Minister Plenipotentiary sent by Paraguay, as has been announced, but an agent from Rivera, President of the Republic of Monte video ; he came on a mission to the Government, and if we are well informed, the object of it is to negotiate a treaty between the two Governments. It is easy to understand how important it is to keep up a good understanding with the Republic of Montevideo in the present state of our relations with the Government of Buenos Ayres. The Notizie del Giorna of Rome of the ith, says, " Letters from Greece, which have been received at Rome, by way of Ancona, confirm the movement of part of Ibrahim's army towards Malattia.—Le Com merce. CONSTANTINOPLE, No►. I.—Accounts from Alex andria say that Mehemet Ali is disposed to make con cession's ; that he will agree to give up Candia, on con dition that the independent possession of Egypt and vria t including Adana, is guaranteed to him by the 'l'livers." As soon, as this agreement is formally con cluded, he will return the Turkish fleet, with such part of the crews as desire to return to Turkey.—Allgenzeine Zeititng, Nov. 15.

Her Majesty, kneeling before the Archbishop of Canterbury, is receiving the sacrament, after having taken those oaths which are im• posed on every Sovereign. Every other part of the ceremony is excluded. Besides her Majesty, her per sonal attendants, the Archbishop, the members of her family, and the Great Officers of State, with a small portion only of the magnificent Abbey, form a complete picture. All the illustrious and noble persons who ap pear on the canvass have sat for their portraits, and of many of them the likeness is perfect. The portrait of her Majesty kneeling, humbled, and submissive, is the sweetest and most maiden-like we have yet seen. Dr. Howley, in his purple robes, is also an excellent like ness. The Duke of Wellington, Lord Melbourne, the Duke of Sussex, and the Duke of Cambridge, are known at a glance. The Duchess of Sutherland, as brilliant on the canvass as in life, occupies a promi nent place near her Majesty ; and behind the Duchess is a groupe of Court ladies. The picture is very skil fully painted, and forms a beautiful addition to her Ma jesty's private gallery. As a work of art, it seems perfect. Mr. Cousins is about to engrave it for Mr. Moon, and the artist's skill will be a guarantee for the perfection of the work. We believe it will b?, one of the largest engravings ever executed in this country, and the undertaking is creditable both to the artist and Mr. Moon. It forms one in a series of historical works which both commemorate important events, and hand down to posterity the portraits of the distinguished ac tors in them. with a suit- Colonel Churchill, the Radical Candidate for Lincoln, a t h i e on Li o b f er t a b l e S p oc at ie r t io y ti o c f a ti n la d t d ci is ty in , t a e s . chasedelection, and wpresentedrough splendid a mar silver h inscription, a o lsa f es e i s generaluraiaut curiously a t Y dormers. pot being willing to divide the The Gallant Colone , under any circumstances res t e d indopendence,of that usefulcohmopdr?mofislei his is own ge a ct dv l o 9 eate triennial Parlia mentspLoilbi teircaanot ptrteiornecbsi be dissolved de t si i s o , s r owl d hvi i ci s c p dh e i be fore the expiration of three years from the period of their first assembling, Exclusion of the Bishops from the Upper House, National Education on a Liberal and comprehensive basis, Abolition of the Hereditary Le gislative Peerage, of the Corn Laws, and the Law of Primogeniture, Vote by Ballot, and Universal Suffrage, will not again contest the City of Lincoln, an d with draws for the present from the field of activ e politics. • • CIiANCERvCOURT-(TRIS DAY.) The LO RD CIIANOI,LQ4 g4Vg judgwent to-day jr maned before this cas e , w hi c h was his Lordship nearly twelve months ago. The only question in the case was whether the eldest or youngest son of a testator named T ras h t o ok his copyhold land according to the custom of the manor 14 Pilot* they were situated. His Lordship was clearly of Opiiii9P that tike youngest eon was entitled. ROLLS' COURT.- (THIS DA t.) PiIESTON V. AIEUX.-.JUDGMENT. The hill in this case was filed by Mr. Preston, the Vicar of Cheshunt, for the purpose of recovering cer tain tithes from the defendants as occupiers of land in that parish. The plaintiff was inducted to the vicarage in 1820, and claimed to be entitled to tithes in all lands other than the tithes of corn, hay, and wool. The de fendants denied the plaintiff's right, allegin g that he had established no general right to vicarial tithes throughout the parish ; that no compensation for tithe s had ever been rendered ; and that under the different circum stances affecting their respective lands they ought to be considered as tithe-free, and deemed excepted out of the Vicar's endowment. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the Vicar had made out a general title to ail tithes throughout the parish other than those of corn, hay, and wool, and that the defence, so far as it depends on a general denial of title, fails. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE. His Honour, the VICE-CIiANcELLoR, upon taking his seat in Court this morning, stated that he should have to rise at an early hour on Saturday, having been specially summoned to attend a meeting at Windsor of all her Majesty's Privy Councillors, to give his advice on a subject of great national importance. THE SEAL DAYS. The VICE-CHANCELLOR stated that he had had a communication with the Lord Chancellor and the Mas ter of the Rolls with respect to appointing the Seal Days, and they had fixed the first seal for the first Mon day after Term ; the second and third on the following Mondays, and the last for the Saturday before Christmas. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) TRUEMAN AND ANOTHER V. LODER. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs to re cover the amount of one thousand casks Y. C. Tallow, which it was alleged the defendant had contracted to furnish the plaintiffs with. The tallow was sold by a broker named Woolner, who was authorised to do so by a Mr. Higginbotham, acting, as Woolner believed, as the agent of the defendant. In the bought note de livered to the plaintiff, no name appeared as the seller. It was simply " bangle:, for Trueman and Cook," and was signed " Benjamin Woolner, Broker." The case was tried before Lord Denman at the London Sittings after last Term, and the Jury found a verdict " That the contract was made by Woolner, supposing that he had Higginbotham's authority to make it for the de fendant, but that Higginbotham intended that it should be made for himself' A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff, with leave to enter a verdict for the de fendants. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was beard on a former day against the rule, which bad been obtained to set aside the verdict. Sir Frederick Pollock, Mr. Creswell and Mr. Richards were now beard in support of the rule. The arguments turned principally upon the usage and custom of merchants of the city of London, and the point relied upon was that no contract appeared on the face of the bought and sold notes, which could be considered binding upon the defendant, Loder, and that the deficiency could not be supplied by parole evidence. The COURT, after hearing the arguments, which oc cupied the greater part of the day, took time to consider its decision. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF THE BAIL OF JOHN ALEXANDER WILMOT. Mr. V. LEE, in this case, attended for the purpose of opposing the bail, on the ground that the notice of bail had not been accompanied by the original affidavit, or a copy thereof ; and also that where the residence of the proposed bail was numbered, the number ought to have been stated. This was requisite, in order that proper inquiries might .be made as to the sufficiency of the bail. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that the parties were now before the Court. Mr. LEE said it would affect the costs. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE would leave them to the Master. Mr. Barber, of 81, Cheapside, and Mr. Pickles, of 7, Lad-lane, after having been examined at some length by Mr. Lee, as to their having sufficient property, and their not being indemnified by Mr. Lewis, the attorney, were accepted. THE QUEEN V. MARSHALL. Mr. CLA RK moved that an information in the nature ,of a quo warranto be directed to Abraham Goldsbo rough Marshall, calling upon him to show by what authority he exercises the office of a Town Councillor of Louth, in Lincolnshire. The affidavits stated that at the late election there were six candidates for three vacancies, created by councillors going out in rota tion, and that three of the candidates were de clared duly elected. The affidavits further stated, that an inspection of the voting papers had twice taken place, and that it turned out that Mr. Marshall ought not to have been returned, another person having been duly elected by a majority of votes. It also appeared that Mr. Marshall had taken upon himself the office of councillor, and acted in that capacity. His LORDSFIIP granted a rule. THE'QATEEN V. HANCOCK. Mr. CROWDER moved for a mandamus against Mr. Hancock, the Alderman for the north-west ward of the borough of Poole, commanding him to publish within twelve hours after the notice of the writ, the name of a person who was chosen town councillor on the 15th Nov. last. It appeared that on the Ist Nov., there were six vacancies in the Council, and that one of the candidates was unable to qualify himself. The other vacancies were filled up, and a new election for the single vacancy took place on the 15th Nov., when a person named 13inney was elected by a majority of 21. According to the 35th clause of the Act, it was the duty of the pre siding officer to publish the list of the persons elected, within two days after the election, but Mr. Hancock, on being applied to, refused to make any publication. There was a matter of considerable importance to come before the Council on Friday next, and he therefore moved for a mandamus, to compel the Alderman to do what he was required to do by the Act. His LORDSHIP granted the mandamus, absolute in the first instance. COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE NIARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE TO THE BISHOP OF EXETER. London, Nov. 19, 1839. My Lord,—My attention has been called to some. passages of a charge recently published by your Lord ship as delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Exe ter, commenting upon expressions of mine contained in the report of a speech I made in the House of Lords this year, on the subject of public education. Your Lordship has selected for quotation some words contained in a paragraph which relates solely to the inspection of schools, the manifest purport of which is, that some provision to secure efficient inspection as to the training of children in habits of order, cleanliness, discipline, and industry is of equal im portance, or, in other words, no less necessary, than that relating to religious instruction (which it was pro posed to confide to ecclesiastical authority) as founded on those high truths which it is the duty and the privi lege of the Church to inculcate. From the circumstance of your having directed the word " equal" to be printed in italics, as well as from a subsequent sentence in your charge, your Lordship appears to have drawn the inference, or intended it should be drawn by others, that I was desirous of im pressing upon my hearers that religious instruction was not an object of paramount importance to every other in general education. I had no such intention, and I deny that inference. Had you done me the honour at the same time to have adverted to my having previously stated, in the printed correspondence then under discussion, that a system of religious instruction forms " the most solid inundation" on which public education can be placed, it would have been impossible for your Lordship to have inferred that in urging the importance of providing by inspection for " the order, cleanliness, discipline, and industry of the schools," concurrently with that of re ligious instruction, confided to the clergy, I could mean to weigh one in the balance as opposed to the other, or to imply more than that all these objects are necessary adjuncts, none of which can be excluded in a complete system of education without danger to the other. I must also be permitted to express my regret that your Lordship, having subsequently referred to a state ment of mine, that this country, in the scale of secular education, was inferior to the central States of Europe, for the purpose of confronting that statement with the somewhat bold and startling assertion that " on the Con tinent a principle of economy is the only motive for so briety," which you quote from the " Appendix to Foreign Report, from J. C. Symons, Esq., a gentleman selected by the Government for his commission on account. of his very extensive experience and knowledge of the state of our people," your Lordship has accidentally omitted f r o state that the language thus quoted is not that of the author of the report, but is, on the contrary, i n the same document to which it appears that yotw Lord ship's attention has been particula di t te u t e d, expressly di s ph l i cne d by that gentleman, whom your Lordshi. has justly described as peculiarly entitled t c , gtedi v an d late ,' by him to proceed frm person entirely unknown to tun, I have not thought it necessary on thi s occas i on to trouble your Lordship with any further remarks than wer e unavoidably necessary to remove misapprehension where I was myself concerned, 46 honour, &c.
