This was a demurrer to a plea to a declaration on h. surety boneL'etindititgied for - the payment of a certain balance for coals .supplied by the plaintiffs, respectable coal-merchants, to it'rela• tion of the defendan6: The plea was, that the plaintiffs had Elven the principal debtor further time to pay the debt,. upon -his entering into a warrant of attorney to pay it by enstalinentg, at 1001. a month fOe'deven months. ' The principal debtor had failed•to pay . the first. instalment, in consequence of which the plaintiff proe,eeded upon .the surety bond against the defendants; and the'question was, whether a. plea ot further time given to. the principal debtor; discharged the sureties in a Court of Law, H. 111Autt argued against the demurrer, and Mr. CHATTY in support •of it. The Cotrwr were clearly of opinion that the plea was no an swer in a, Court ot Law, for t 1 -surety bond heing an instru'.. ment tinder seal, could only be discharged by an instrument of etival force.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that this information was originally heard-before his Ho nour . the late Vice-Chancellor. The , . question was, whethe'r certain teases granted by the Vicar and-Vestrymen of the parish of Stockton were valid ? It .appeared that by an Act Of Parlia- Ment of the 12th of Queen Anne, it was enacted that the township of Stockton should become a. distinct parish, and that the 13ishopof DUrhaM should grant a lease-of all the waste lands to the ,Vicar of. Stockton,. for the support of the Minis= 'ter, at an annual rent of one penny ; it did not, "however, provide for the Vicar's letting the waste lands for farming purposOs ; it was afterwards amended, and it enacted, that the Vicar,for the time being, with the approbation of the. Vestry, should haVethe poWer of granting leases of the waste lands, for any nuMber of 'years, at the highest rent that could be obtained, without a tine, and if there -were any disagreement to hap. pen between the Vicar and- the Vestrymen as to the granting of the leases, it was to be settled by a reference to the Bishop of Durham. The Vicar and the Vestrymen did grant leases for nine bun.; cited and ninety-nine years, at rents which only amounted,to 521. per annum, which leases were now tried to be put down by the information.— _The late Vice-Chancellor held that they were valid leages, and could not be disturbed ; from which opinion the present appeal was brought. lie. (the -Lord Chancellor) had looked at the case over and ever again, and he . had no diffi culty iu saying, that the Legislature went fur ther by the enactment than they intended.! It had been' contended, in support of the infor mation, that this case was assimilated to that of a charity, in which the Court would cut down the lease, as by the approbation of the Vestrymen being required for the granting of the leases, they ought to be considered as hold- ng a similar trust to that of trustees to a charity. le found great difficulty in going that length, as the Vestry - men were not restrained by the enact ment from granting leases for any length of years, and the leases come under the express words of th_. enacting part'of the Act of Parlia ment. lie was obliged to consider that the leases had not been attempted to be . disturbed for a century, and that they had been enjoyed by se veral persons for that length of time. He was therefore of opinion ,that the leases could trot be disturbed, and that the decree of his honour the late Vice-Chancellor ought to be affirmed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 5. THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF ST. GLITVIAS. This was a case from the Cornwall Sessions, under rather peculiar circumstances. Two Jus-' tices removed the wife and children of a man named William Prynne, from the parish of Kea to the parish of St. Gluvias, both in the County of Cornwall, and, on appeal, the Sessions con firmed the order, subject to the opinion of the Court upon the following case :—lt appeared, that William Prynne having listed for unlimited service into the Coldstream Guards, deserted from that regiment in 1799, and was soon after wards impressed into his Majesty's sea service, and sailed in the Trusty, man-of-war, as arniourer, in the Eipedition to Egypt under General Aber crombie, in 1801. On the voyage of the Trusty from Egypt homeward, in the same year,'she received the same regiment on board. at Malta, and Prynne, being recognised, :was brought on the quarter-deck, when Lieutenant- Colonel Calcraft, the Commanding Officer on that service of the regiment, asked him whether he liked a red or a blue coat best, and, on ~Prynne's answering that he had rather stay where he was, Colonel Calcraft told Captain Guyon, who commanded the Trusty, that, as it 'was peace, he might do what he pleased with Prynne, and either send him to the West Indies or dis charge him. The Trusty arrived at Portsmouth about Christmas 1801, and afterwards proceeded Ito Chatham, where the ship was paid off, and Prynne was discharged from the Navy ,on the 25th of April; 1802, and received his pay as a seaman, and 155.6 d. Navy prize-money. Prynne never returned to the regiment, nor was dis charged from the Army otherwise than as be fore stated, and is still continued as a de serter in the description book of the regi ment, at the Horse Guards. About the year 1808, Prynne being then unmarried, and not hav ing any child or children, was hired to serve for a year in the parish of Kea,, and served a year under such letting, and resided during• the ser vice in the same parish. He aftemards married the pauper Elizabeth Prynne, and had issue by her the several children named in the order, who, having become chargeable in Kea, were re moved to the parish of St. Gluvias. The ques tions were-1. Whether Prynne could be consi dered as having been discharged from the land service, by what passed on board the Trusty ? and 2. Whether, supposing him not to be so, he could be treated as a deserter, and th.er•efore in competent to gain a settlement under 3 William and Mary, c. 11. sec. 7. ? Mr. G ASELEE and Mr. AD tm argued the case for the Crown, and Mr. TINDAL for the parish of Kea. The Cc:ltar were of opinion, that the husband of ,the pauper was not sui juris by what took place on board the Trusty.' The Colonel Com mandant had no lawful authority to diszharge him ; and, being still to be considered as a de serter, he was not competent to gain a settlement by virtue of the provisions of the statute Wil- THE KING V. JOSEPH HAN.sov. This. was a conviction brought up by certiorari from the Ses. Mots,. for selling ale without a license. The conviction set forth negattvel!ithat the defendant tray reA an excise license; without stag that fact to have been psoff,a.it, and mcrelystateahat tbe 11,1faThan: had sold gle., without going on to state any prookhai he had.no license. The question. Was, whether it was incum bent-on the part of the informer to prove the negative statenier-t in evidence? WALT° N • contended that it was not, and relied upon the King V. Stone, 1 East, 639, and the King v. Turner, 5 Maule and Selwyn, 26. Mr. ALEXANDER endeavoured to combat with the latter authority ; but - The C'ciunT were of opinion that it was decisive in principle with the present case. There it w as held upon a 'conviction under Stat. 5 Ann, c. 14, s. 2, against a carrier for having*game in his possession, that it is sufficient, if in the information and adjudication the qualifications mentioned in Std. 22 and 23 Car. 2, c. 25, $. 3, be negatived, without negativing them in evidence. Rule - discharged for quashing the. conviction. • " Bisit sold them all." This is the wind-up of all 131sH's advertisements. When alluding to the Three Thirty Thousands of a former Lot tery, it `was, " Bisn sold them all !" and mention ing the Capitals above e2OO drawn last Tuesday„ it was " Brut sold them all!" In fact, as Brul gruddery says in the play, " This man has got the philosopher's stone," for he has sold the only X 30,000 drawn this Lottery, and the odds are mote than even (as sportsmen would say) that he'll bag the other two. Yesterday, being the anniversary of the Popish conspiracy, commonly called ,the Gunpowder Plot, the Park and Tower guns were fired on the occasion. The Yeomen of the Guard, and his MAJESTY'S servants at Carlton Palace, receiv ed their customary gratuitrof Wine, it being a pitcher day. A general battle took place yesterday morn ing in Shepherd's-market between the populace and the peace-officers, the latter having removed Gag Furoke's gibbet, and replaced the pavement which. ,had been, torn ,up - _to erect It.. After a smart affray, the constlbles kept the ground.

As the indi vidual in question was walking between the Hawk's Nest and Felling . Main Colliery, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, about nine o'clock, two men sprung suddenly upon him, and made an attack with drawn clasp-knives. One of the miscreants struck his weapon with great force in the direction of his throat, and the other made a slash through his coat and waistcoat. The ample folds of his neckcloth luckily, protected him , from injury, although the neck..handkerchief, was nearly cut quite through. Being a stout man, the Captain in his turn made the attack ; one of the villains he kdocked down, who in his fall brought down his comrade. At this parti cular moment a' third bandit leapt out of the hedge. The odds of three to one being deemed too great, the Captain took to his heels, and being a good runner, luckily made his escape. Turtuq, OCT. 23.---The following ordinance has been published against secret societies : Charles Felix, by the grace of God, King of Sar dinia, &c. &c. " The convulsions which have occurred in our States and in other countries having all one origin or common cause, namely, the introduction of secret associations, which have for their object to disturb .public tranquillity, to overthrow legiti mate governments, to:orrupt morals, and to in cite to the contempt of our holy religion, we are convinced of the necessity of adopting measures necessary for correcting and removing the fatal consequences which these societies have already produced. Therefore by the present decree we, of our own certain knowledge and royal Who- , rity, hiive determined, and do determine, as fol lows . . renew the prol4bitign.of illicit and secret meeting, of whatever denomination, old or new. " 2. Ever; association having for its object to meet on a fixed and determined day, or by means of Private notices, at periods not fixed, for the purpose of treating or conferring on any lite rary, religious, or any other subject, without our previous au thority, or contrary' to the rules, statutes, or Constitutions by us approved, shall be considered as an illegal meeting or as sembly. . " 3. Our subjects are also prohibited from becoming mem bers of secret societies in foreign , countries, or of corresponding with them. " 4. If it be discovered that the object of such societies tends to excite sedition, to change the form of government, or any other design contrary to the saf;ty and tranquillity of the State, the members of the said societies shall be held to"he guilty of the crime of high treason, 'and punished by-the penalties pre scribed by the Taw, book iv. title 34, chap. 2. " 5. The founders and directors of the other-societies, reput ed illegal, shallbe punished by an imprisonMent of nOt less than one year. They may be sent to the gallies to the extent of ten years, in case the object of the society should be the diffusion of irreligious maxims, or the corruption of morals. Persons in the employment of Government shall, besides, for merely being present at these assemblies, be deprived of office and declared incapable of serving again. " 6. The members of the societies mentioned in the preceding article shall also be punished with an imprisonment of not less than six months ; and if they are employed by the Govern ment, shall lose their places. This punishment shall alSo be inflicted on those whO, without having been present at the .nieeting,s, have held correspondence with the societies. • " 7.. Proprietors of buildings who, either for hire, or gratui tously, knowingly permit secrct societies to meet therzin, shall . be punished as members of the said societies. They shall be sides forfeit one year's rent for the use of - the charitable fraterni ties, if the societies be such as are referred to in article 5. If they be members of the said societies, they shall be punished as founders or directors. " 8. Public functionaries, or any persons employed by the GoVerninent, who, On obtaining knowledge of a secret society, shall not denounce the same, even though' they may be ignorant of its objects, shall be punished by imprisonment for one month or three months, and loss of office. . " 9. Foreigners not naturalized in our state shall be banished after undergoing their punishment. " Given at Govima, October 5, in the year of Grace 1821, and of our reign the first. " CHATILES . FELIX." OFFICIAL CIRCULAR. The following Official Document first appear ed in The British Monitor of Sunday last. It appears that that paper had previously stated that a Foreign Ambassador had availed himself ,of his dinloniatique privilege to dispose of a vast quantity of wine, after his functions had 'ceased, without paying the duty. This fact was con tradicted in a Morning Paper, and a correspond ence'ensued, by which the fact was confirmed, and which finally occasioned the publication of the subjoined Document : FROM THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY TO THE CORPS DIPLOMATIQUE RESIDING IN LONDON. The Marquis of LONDONDEP.ItY has the honour confidenti ally to intimate to his Excellency. the that it has come to the knowledge of the Lords Commissioners ofhis Majesty's Treasury, that ..sOme instances have lately occurred in which, contrary, no doubt, to the intentions and orders of some. inem bers of the Corps Diplomatique, lately or now resident at this Court, and in consequence of the MiscondUct of 'their agents or servants, sales have taken place of large quantities of wine, 'im ported for their Excellencies' use, by which the wine has been admitted to general consuinption, and .the .6iivernment thereby deprived of the revenue which ought to have accrued from such sale. • • ;.• Lord Londonderry is convinced • that he has only to make this circumstance known, in order that - steps May be effectually taken to prevent a recurrence of this practice ; and he •is confi dent that his Excellency will admit the propriety of its being regulated for the future, that no such sale of wine Should under ;any circumstances take place, except when the whole of the cellar 'belonging to a Minister leaving England is trans ferred to his. successor; and that when a foreign Minister's wine is left to be sold without such transfer, due notice must be given to the Exchequer, in order that the proper duties may be levied thereon : and in default of such notice, the wines' would, it is already declared by the law of the country, be (ionie forfeited to the Government. _ _ _ _ . , PA.(' Londonderry feels assured that the Corps Diplomatique will prefer 'a reguktion of this nature, which he freely leaves to be acted upon by the well known honour and loyalty of those to whom he has on this occasion addressed himself, to that by Which each Foreign Minister would be restricted, as formerly, to the importation of a certain quantity of wine according to his rank. . Lord Londonderry has only further to call the attention of his Excellency to the additional precaution which it is neecssaiy to adopt, that in all applications for the admission of wine duty free, •it should be precisely and expressly stated un der tl,ie signature of each Foreign Minister so applying, that the wines as described are, and intended, for his own consunip tipn ; and the Lords of the Treasury will require the Revenue Board to furnish to Lord Londonderry, for the infoimation of each Foreign Minister at the expiration of each year, a note of the wines so admitted at his xequest. • • Lord Londonderry has only further to express his anxious hopes that his Excellency will not consider this com munication as in any way tending to limit the liberal manlier in which his privileges,. in common with those of his colleagues,. have, hitherto been extended in placing no restriction whatever on the quantit t y of - wipe' allowed to be entered duty free for the bona fide consumption of himself and family. • ' LOid Londonderry avails himself ofthis opportunity to renew to his Ex.'ellenCy ' the assurance of his hi li consideratiOn.

" No, massa," replied the girl," parrot no speak ; but parrot think a great deal."—Like the - parrot, the Gallant Admiral observed,he could not speak ; but if he lived as long as_ history gave to the life of parrots, even to a hundred years, he 'should remember the present .as one of the most gratify ing days of his life." This speech was loudly cheered ; and after the health of the Duke of York, the Royal Family, the Armv and Navy, the Peerage of Scotland were drunk. The LORD PROVOST again proposed the health of Admiral Otway, not as an Admiral, or for his private or public qualities, well known and esti mable as they were, but he would .propose his health as the youngest Freeman of the City of Edinburgh. Tor which the Admiral returned his thanks in a neat speech. After the healths of the Lord Provost, the Lord President, Lord Chief Baron Adam, Lord Duncan, Lord Gillies, Admiral Sir David Milne, Sir R. C. Durham, Captain Chas. Adam, 'the croupier, Sir 'Thos. Troubridge, and others, it was particularly gratifying to see so many dis tinguished members of the naval service, after joining in drinking, the health of Mr. John Clerk, bearlestitnony, wich they did, to Rear Admiral Sir David Milne's handsome eulogium 'on the merits of his celebrated relation, the Author of the Naval Tactics, whose memory was drank in solemn silence.—Amongst the com pany, which broke up at a late hour,' were The Lord Provost, Lord Duncan, Lord Keith, Lord Tor phichen, Lord Belhaven, Lord Gillies, Mr. Clerk, the Hon.

These will* front into Northumberland-street; and as they will be built of very fine brick on a stone . base, they will be rather ornamental objects there. The house itself is of the lonic order on its southern aspect ; the approach to the central d'pOr is by lateral flights of stone steps, ending in a'liallus traded terrace at the top. The wings', of the same height with the house itself, are very spa cious, and shelter it well on the east and west ; perhaps it would be more correct to consider them as parts of the main building, and say,,that the whole forms three sides of a .square. Upon this edifice, which is indisputably the largest mansion in London,. the Duke hes been for three year's usefully 'ekpenaing apart of the large :store of ready money left him'by his father ; making im mense'disbUrsements, and yet reducing his rents. There ika simple, unostentatious magnificence in the whole air of it, which accords with the sta tion and with, the - character of the noble owner.
