Toe present occasion called his attention more especially to reli g i ous t h an to c i v il lib erty, an d to the religious point he should therefore confine himself. The Divine Founde r of our religion did not send his apostles forth amid the temporal power to convert the world. His religion was not connected with laY State.—(Cheers.) No. He called twelve poor fishermen, and sent them forth with the command that t hey should take wither scrip nor any money in their Purse, and that as they had freely received they should line f fr •elY give. H ad the Protestant Church adopted this diat e s a conduct, f or t h ey sa i d that they were the imme uccessors of the Apostles ?

PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing tte ez-duty price .f West India-Sugar in Mina. ing.lane, and comparing the same against that of foreign sugars : London, April 20, 183 g. Per *irk The Gaiette of Friday eight queteethe avernepriee of British rlantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 811 s. 7id. They actual quantity sold in the week ending the 23d inst., on which the above price is computed, consisted of 837 hhds. and 8 tierces by private contract, and of about 245 casks of Barhadoes sugar by public auction. The sales of the former, if taken by themselves, would truly indicate the gradu depreciation in sugar, but as the prices of the latter, which are of the new crop and of fine quality, are combined with them, we have at once the cause why the Gazette quotation of last night exceeds that of the 19th by 3d. per cwt. During the two or three days the wind remained fair, several ships arrived in the Thames from the West Indies, laden with up. wards of 4,200 casks of Sugar ; allowing that 1,100 hhds. and tn. may have been delivered from the Docks this week, the imported supply will increase the stock of West India Sugar in this port by 3,000 hhds. and trs., and we hope that on Saturday next we shall be able to announce a similar addition, it being well known that many more ships close at hand will enter the River with the earliest south-west wind. 16,300 mats of Sugar from the Mauritius have been reported ; an abundance from Bengal also. These extensive supplies, and the reasonable expectations of further large arrivals, appear to have lulled, in a great measure, the apprehensions of scarcity previously entertained by Sugar buyers; both grocers and refiners have, consequently, been extremely cautious in their pur stases. Manillasugars, raised by free labour, may be quoted at from 225. 6d. to 255. per cwt., being about 15s. 6d. per cwt. less than the average price of West India Sugar. There are no sales of Refined Sugar for exportation manufac. tured from British Plantation to report this week. In our Sugar article of last week we demonstrated that if it were not for the mischievous effect of the monopoly enjoyed by the West Indians the nation might be supplied with Sugar equal in quality to Double Refined at 60s. per cwt. There can be no question that the consuming powers of the country would be stimulated by such an easy price to an extraordinary degree—and that the revenue on the article of Sugar would be speedily increased from fir. to seven or eight millions per annum. Why, in these times of need, the Government neglects to avail itself of this legitimate and unexceptionable mode of providing for the exigencies of the public so vice, is quite enigmatical. COFFEE.—Good ordinary quality of British Plantation Coffee may be purchased on previous terms, but unclean torts are difficult of sale. The at rivals via the Cape or Good Hope are large. 1,600 bags of Brazil Coffee were bought in yesterday at from 555. to 60s. per cwt. On the whole the Coffee Market may be quoted dull and lower. The duty protce'ing British Plantation against the cempeti tion of Coffee raised by free labolft in St. Domingo, is equivalent to 250 per cent. ad valorem. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(TI 111 DAY.)

The party, comprising the principal memiaers of the family, afterwards proceedtd to the residence of Earl Stanhope, in Stanhope-street, where an elegant dcjeune was prepared. THE GREAT NUNNINGTON ESTATE, NEAR TO Yoek.—The splendid Estate in the North Riding of Yorkshire, the property of Sir Belingham Graham, Bart., with the ancient mansion, shooting-box, mannvial rights and privileges, and a little principality, producing five thousand pounds a year, is about to change hand s . I t is announced by M r . G eorge R o bi ns, to be sold the first week in June. The tenantry are all affluent, it is free fr:un tithe, and the poor -rate is very low. A singularly desirable opportunity is now presented to the great capital ist, to escape from the funds at an exceedingly high price, and secure a rental that mug necessarily be greatly in creased whenever the event that will reduce the funds takes place. The purchaser is besides secure of a Seat fur the North Riding of Yorkshire. ------- REPRESENTATION OP EXETER.—III reply to the Tory reports which have been so industriously spread —to the effect that Mr. Divett intended to resign the re presentation of Exeter —we can state on very good autho rity that our indefatigable and excellent representative Mr. Divett has been often beard to express a determination that no circumstances shouldever induce him to resign the repre subsation so long as he continued to he honoured with the unrestricted confidence of the constituents, and had strength to exert himself to do justice to their interests. We hope that this is a sufficient answer to the Tory rumour, and now the Tories may do as they please —but the sooner they withdraw Lord Courte:.ay's name front the canvas, the bet.. ter for Sir W. Follett's security and peace of mind.-_ Western Times. LANDED PROPERTY.—The season for auctions has been protracted by the long-continued winter. Judg ing from our columns, it is now progressing, through the instrumentality of Mr. George Robins, at a " railway pace." He has to transfer, during the next two months, estates of great value in Yorkshire, Northumberland, Lin colnshire, Derbyshire, Kent, Leicestershire, Hants, South \Vales, Scotland. &c. &c. &c.—to say nothing of one sale of Ally thousand acres of land in Virginia, close to rising towns, large markets, and a railway passing through it, to the several depots for the sure disposal of its produce. It is to be divided into small lots, to secure to all those who would emigrate, a brilliant prospect of independence, al though possessing at present very moderate m , anq Thc. abmeoco of all taxes it ffsirds a ivciy picture at I:. mediate good fortune.

LON.ItON: MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1 Sag. Sometime ago, a gentleman, so called, was taken before a Police Magistrate, for, in the most unin tentional way possible, putting his umbrella into the eyes of passers by, and then, with the utmost coolness, begging pardon and declaring that he did not mean it. Sir ROBERT PEEL and his party are a similar sort of persons—they do the most hostile and offensive thines, and mean nothing. This may be very true, b u t i t b e h oves th e p u bli c not to hav e it s eyes put out by the umbrella-sticks of the Tories. Having received two lessons, one in the case of the Irish question, and another in that of the Jamaica Bill now pending, we shall do well in being entirely upon our guard and placing no further trust in them. It is plain that their game is one of coneilin'tion in manner, and a thorough determination to do mis chief in substance. In the case of the Jamaica Bill, they propose to hit at the Radicals, on the one hand, and the Con servatives on the other, calculating, too, on a further increase, of strength, by an addition from the %Vest India interest. Moreover, they desire that their 1 1 movement should be made before the Abolitionists can be made aware of the whole bearings of the question, and can bring their active energies into the field, to counteract their tortuous policy. It is to he regretted that the Government have not disap pointed this purpose, by making the postponement still longer than they have. The question is of too great magnitude to be disposed of, in a single night's debate and by a single di vision, before all parties can be fully possessed of the state of the question ; and, on the part of the great body of Liberals in the country, we earnestly intreat the Government not to allow the question to be precipitated. But whether the delay be further postponed or not, let the Abolitionists take heed to this matter, and the Liberals too, for some of their friends seem disposed, by transferring their veneration from the substance of a Constitution to its name and shadow, to jeopardise, once and for ever, the interests of the great bulk of the population of the Island of Jamaica. By Captain PRINGLE'S ex cellent Pamphlet, it appears that of a popu lation of some 350,000 persons, the con stituency consists of 1,500, ma ki ng about 30 votes for each member. Now, if t hi s b e the sort of Constitution of which the Liberals are in love, why those of Russia, Prussia, Austria, Spain as it was, and some others, are equally delectable. on Friday n i g h t, Mr. Flume We notice thi s p o int as, intimated a piirpose of -defendin g the Constitution of Jamaica. We always thought that a Constitu tion, in the Liberal sense, meant fair representation of the people, and not the representation of a few agents of the proprietors of estates. If this is a Constitution to be admired, why, let us esta blish in Ireland a system of representatio n in which Catholics shall be excluded, and the representa tive body shall consist of the agents of the absentee landlords. Just such a kettle of fish as they have made in Jamaica would they make in ieeland ; and indeed, because such has more or less, in another fashion, been the policy in Ireland, have they al ready made Ireland another Jamaica—a govern ment of oligarchs against a population insultingly and ignominiously excluded from a participation in the Government. Surely then, the Liberals will not be such geese as to stand up in defence of a Constitution such as the Jamaica one for the sake of 1,500 people against 350,000 ; nor should we suppose that they would say that the latter are fit to take their own affairs into their own hands—that the political wis dom of the elder country, which has failed to fall upon the present Assembly, is likely to fall at once upon an Assembly composed, m any con siderable degree, of the black population. The change that has taken piace-in the internal relations of Jamaica requires an entire system of new legisla tion upon topics that have well nigh baffled the accutest intellects at home—we allude to the Poor laws, the Vagrancy-laws, and some others—and it would b. absolute folly to start the negro popula tion into a Constitution, where they would have al most every thing to do. Not an insignificant cause of the success of the United States was that they started With a complete bode of sub ordinate laws—the most difficult to be enacted, be cause the result of custom—and a long series of measures adapted t• the habits and feelings of a people. But here we have almost Called a new people into existence. Their condition is so abso lutely changed, their intellectual state, .through the neglect of the planters, ill prepared for the exereise of legislative functions ; and yet though resisted to day by the Assembly, their eneinies, to-morrow they may become proprietors, and therefore consti tuents, and also members ; and thus, encountering their enemies on the threshold of the Assembly, be called upon to enact laws founded on the subtlest policy, and casting aside all animosity towards those who have trampled upon them, to enter coolly and dispassionately upon the consideration of measures on which the permanent and temporary interests of the white and black population are alike to be re garded. If we do not find such coolness, dispas sionateness, and impartiality at home, where differ ent classes are more upon an equal footing, is it reasonable to expect tribes of different colours, just escaping from the condition of master and slave, the one rankling under the recollection of old sufferings, and the other of lost power, will exhibit instances of such superhuman virtue ? Never, in the history of a people, had a Parliament so high, so difficult, and important a duty to per form ; and we trust that, strong in the conviction of a wise and statesmanlike purpose, the Govern ment will not shrink from the responsi bility of sacrificing for a moment the shadow of a Constitution, in order to realise its substance, end to put the people of Jamaica in a position really and effectually to govern themselves for the benefit, not of one class, but of all. Such elements never yet presented themselves to the founders of a State, and it will require all the wisdom and energy of the Gov e rnment, and all the forbearance and co-operation of rival parties, to aidin the fulfilment of the great undertaking - To make such a subject matter for a party stru g gle,a is to build up the fune real pile of the white population in Jamaica, and to sacrifice all British interests there. Such a devilish purpose cannot have entered into the heart of the most rancorous Tory ; but, although that may not be their p ur p ose , we must yet tak e care reliance We that their mi sc hi evous an d reckless eek sconduct produce th e same resu l t . have es a firm do not on the great good sense of the people of England, and doubt n o t, that if the question be fairly understood, , they will take a course whic h shall n ot place the interest of large masses of population at the mercy of these successive sinister , attacks. -- , , • a e in M. ODILLO N There is one passage BAR. RoT's speech in the F rench Chamber of Deputi„s, on the Ministerial cri sis, which is p roducing a very deep impression on the popular mind throughout France. After show in g that neither the French nation nor the party of the Left in the Ch am b er were responsible for the prolongation of the mi_ nisterial interregnum —that the country h a d to promptly and emphatically ans wered the appeal mad it by the Crown in dissolving the Chambers—. that th e re was a decide d Liberal majority in that assembly, although by artifices some of th e mem bers were prevented from declaring their sent i ments, and that the Ministerial cr isis did not commence th e with the P ar liamentary majorit ies against MOLE Cabinet, but from the moment when the Crown set aside the principles o f Representative Government, the Hon. Deputy observed, with .stron— g emphasis There is in our modern society an evil which calls for all your attention —all your severity. It is that individualism, that personal pride whi c h decks itself with fine-sounding, titles, and calls itself personal dignity. as if true dignity con. sisted not rather in self-denial, than in the assumption of exagerated pretension. On no other principle can I explain the invincible obstacles which (it being agreed that there is no difference as to things) neither the necessitie s of the country nor the deplorable situation in which it is placed, have been able to surmount. Heavy is the responsibility of those who have thus sacrificed the interests of a country w hi c h has made them so great, so illustrious—which has raised them to so great an elevation that they , might, at. the THE SUN, LONDi?N, NiONOAY, APRIL 29. k:i!, ` proper time, sacrifice its welfare to such pre tensions. Thank God, Gentlemen, there is no man necessary in our France I All great indivi dualities, however great they be, with whatever rays of glory they may be crowued, are as nothing; it is not given to them to interdict or paralyse our institutions, much less to condemn them to immutability !" This blow, which at the moment ( of its infliction, prostrated Som„T, is now generally regarded as rightly aimed at the KING. With the increase of popular discontent, increases the popular fury at discovering that France owes her present difficulties and dangersto the insolent obstinacy of an individual, who is indebted for all that he possesses to her bounty. " There is na man necessary to our France" is the revolutionary a xiom now ringing from the banks of the Seine to the foot of the-Py renees. These symptoms are rrktiher alarming. The patience of the French nation is, nvidently well nigh exhausted. The KING must either yield or ab dicate before many days elapse, and should he prefer the latter his dynasty will end with himself. We verily 1-;elieve that this would be a fortunate circumsta Tice for France. It would, at least, clear tlm country of the BouRBONS, root and branch—a necessary prelude to the establishment of a really soirml and well-working system of representative Govern rn,ent. The proceedings at Truro ox t Friday last, of which a detailed report is given, in another part of The Sun, will excite a lively int, !rest in the public mind. They prove to demons tration the infa tuation of those who iinagiu e that they can put down . by persecution the spirit of resist ance to the payment of Cli urch-rates, which is spreading throughout the co untry. Were the supporters of the " nefarious e:te ction" capable of reading history to advantage, the: y would know that the course which they are pursuits g is the surest they could have taken to defeat their. object. Had their been even no religious feeling "nixed up with the payment of Church-rate, the ; r te is so much in justice and meanness in exacting it from those who, it is admitted, receive no benefit —nothing in the shape of art equivalent, from a Church, which has wealth c if its own more than enough for all its wants, tha t the claim can never be enforced without stirring up against it and its abettors the indignation of e very honest mind. But when it is considered th at, in addition to this strong cause of hostility and }rifted on the part of the great mass of the pe.eyle, religion steps in and forbids compliance with tthe unholy demand, it is, or ought to be, clear tr 3 every one that the more compulsion is resorted to the more will resistance increase. This is 111!e tale told by per secution in every age of the wea r ld. Yet Mr. Ba ron GURNEY, and other would—be friends of the Church, lay it not to heart. IF they think to suc ceed by strained interpretation s of unjust laws, and excessive severity in puni slung those who will not violate the dictates ; of conscience, they will find themselves gri e'rously mi s t a k en . Let them p on d er th e f o li o wing sentiments, delivered by one o f th e i r I. tte victims at the Truro entertainment last wee k, and then say whether the cause of abolition is' likely to gain or lose by the persecution of its a dvocates. " If," said Mr. EDWARDS, " one mons h of every year of the remainder of their lives, by- .being passed in prison, would help to promote the good cause, and the extension of those principles, :they would most readily sacrifice it.—(Long-con timued cheering.) The month's coercion that they :had experienced had not changed in any way !he! principles by which they were actuated. Their opponents found it an easy thing to coerce the bo 13-, but when they came to try its effect on the mired, they had to do with a deep without a bottom, with an extent with out bounds.—(Cheers.)” By the arrival of the Tagus stearner at Falmouth on Saturday, from the illediterranie an, we have re ceived Lisbon Papers of the 22J. inst. On the 19th the QUEEN, finding that th ere was no likeli hood of putting an end to the Mi nisterial crisis by a less decided course, sent for Bar. )EI DA RIBEIRA DE SAIIIOZA, to whom her M A.JESTY gave a carte blanche for the formation of a Cabinet. The Baron, who is one of the Chiefs of the Septembrist or Ultra-Liberal party, lost no time , ;in executing the honourable mission with which he was entrusted, and in a few hours the following Ministerial ap pointments took place : Baron DA RIBEIRA-President of the Council, Minister of War—and, .ad interi.nc, of. Foreign Affairs and Marine; JULIO DA SILVA SA NCHES---41 1t erior. , —• • - JOA 0 DA CUNHA E ARA N.TO 'Wor ship and Justice. MA NOEL DE CA RVALHO-Fin. ince. The new Premier in vain solicited milers among his friends to take charge of the Portfolios of Marine and Foreign Affairs.. He v ;as not, how ever without hopes of speedily rem( wing their ob jections. On presenting himself -a s chief of the Cabinet to the Chambers, he assn red them that nothing but a deep sense of the duty which he owed to his Queen and country could induce him to take office at a• time so pregnant with difficul ties ; that although he had n.O programme to offer he would be guided in all his mea sures by the principles of the Constitution of 183 S ; and that himself and his co lle agues would study in all things to secure obedience to the laws ; to impart life and vigour to the national institutions ; to facilitate the speedy and impartial al luhinistration of justice ; and to give not only tranciti illity but the ' certainty of it to the people. He auk, ed but a fair trial—a favour which the Chambers seemed well disposed to extend to him, as no opposition was made either to the persons or principle s of the new Ministry. i n the Provinces bordering can Spain the Miguelite hordes are almost enCkre ly dispersed, owing to the increased activity of the Constitu tional authorities. Smuggling, how ever, increases, owing to the rate of impost and er.port duties ; particularly on the coast of Algarre, where they set the Government troops at defian.:e. Since the new Tariff has been brought into cp2ration, th ere has Lisbonfalling off i n the, :Revenues de rand Opor to Custo m an d iv e d be f e r n om : gradual the Excise offices. sometimes to the amc.u.nt of 7,000/. sterling per month, in conseqUence of the extent to which the high duties held out ( mcouragements to smuggling. The - Countess de POVOA, the rich Portuguese heiress, having attained her twelfth year, was on the morning of the 22d publicly united by marriage to the Marquis of FAYAL, eldest son. of the Duke of PALMELLA. This solemnity will put an end to the litigation carried on by the relatives of the heiress for the recovery of her pers. on. The QUEEN DOWAGER of Emgland having sailed from Malta on the 12th, was expwcted lo pay a visit to the QUEEN of Portugal. Preparations were making for the suitable receptii rn of her MA JESTY. Finding all his efforts and intriabrtes to break u p the Coaliti on worse t h an useless, the King of the FRENCH has so far yi e ld e d t o circumstancs as to bring about a - reconciliation between M. TRIERS and Marshal SOULT. As he was himself the author of all their misunderstandings and jealousies, he- was the fittest person to undertake the delicate task of explaining away what each respectively re garded as objectionable in the conduct, opinions, and pretensions of the other. Marshal SOULT, at the instance of the KING, was the first to pro pose an accommodation highly honourable to M. THIERS, and the latter manifested how much he desired to restore tranquillity to the country, by a frank and manly acceptance of the pro ferred friendship and co-operation of the Mar shal. On Saturday they breakfasted together, and it is reasonable to suppose that in the course of their explanations the Marshal saw the arti fices of which he was the dupe. At all events he seemed willing to concede everything to TRIERS, as much from an apparent sense of having a re paration to make, as from a conviction of his being indispensable to the formation of any Ministry. It was reported that all difficulties respect ing men and things were overcome, and that no delay would take place in the appointment of a Government enjoying the confi dence of the Chambers and the country. Among the on dits of this meeting, it was rumoured in Paris on Saturday that M. D urn; would be the new Minister of Justice, and that on his appoint ment he would be raised to the Peerage. The ge neral expectation was that the new Cabinet would appear in the .Moniteur of last night or this morning. On Thursday the French Government received Price 2s. 6d. REVIEW.—No. V. :RAVEN."

T 12 44 divi sion of General Parra re-established the communks Lions General Nogueras has been appointed CommaniZi .r-in- Chkf of the army of the Centre," in the room a Van Halen. The dismissal Of VAN HALEN is not a. :suffi cient punishment for his cowardice or treacihery. He ought either to be shot, or sent in chains to Africa. Our impression is, that he bett ayed his post to CABRERA, and in the event a f his being tried by a court martial, such will be proved to be the fact. The injury which his treasara has inflicted on the Constitutional cause in Fratece is incalculable. There is no domestic news of any interest ill the French Papers of Friday or Saturday. Not ping excites attention but the Ministerial crisis and' this is fast producing symptoms of feelings which. re quire only to be fostered to produce another :revo lution 1.-- A letter from the Russian frontiers, in a Frankfort Jour nal, announces as near at hand the return of what is called the United Greek Church, and the Greek Russian anurch. The kttcr endeavours to show that this return is voluntary, but we know what to think of it. The Courier Francais of the 27th inst. has the follow ing P. S. :—The formation of a Ministry of the 1(41 centre no longer meets with the same obstacles. To-day M. Teste ; in the name of the Marshal, has made a peoposal to M. Thiers. The Marshal offerred M. Thiers the de partment of Foreign Affairs, but at the same time he insisted on the admission of some Doctrinaires into , the Connell. This last point has b,•en contested. The prin c'pa 1 members of the left centre have declared to M. I c' pal Thiers that they could not make part of the Ministry in which the f r iends o f M. Guizot should be includ e d. M. M. Guizot and M. Duchatel were summoned to the Tuil leries at four o'citek ; Nve believe we may say that it was not for a Ministerial proposal, at least from M. Guizot; but the Doctrinaire* do not separate from their chief.—Le Commerce.

On the 17th the Madrid Cabinet sent dispatches to ESPARTERO, imploring him to undertake some movement to counterbalance the losses sustained by raising the siege of Segura. Lis highly probable that the courier found ESPARTERO in bed at Logrono, ill of his former complaint, which always visits him when a battle is to be fought, or a campaign opened. According to the letters from Bayonne himself and MAROTO had passed eight days within sight of each other with out firing a shot, though MAaoTo was at the head of 20,000, and ESPARTERO of 30,000 men. This could neither be the result of fear nor of extreme caution. It must be regarded as the consequence of a secret understanding between these Generals. Both are playing a difficult and a pe rilous game. Since MAROTO has declared in favour of a peace, founded on a marriage between a son of Don CARLOS and the QUEEN, the Princess of Bet- RA, CA RLOS'S consort, has set herself to work his downfall. In this she is seconded by her son Don SEBASTIAN. Don CARLOS has as yet expressed no opinion upon the subject, and listens to the ar guments on both sides in profound silence. While MAROTO can depend upon the fidelity of the army he is safe, but not an instant lunger. ------- THE MARKETS.-.-(THIS DAY.) .7 - --- CORN EXCHANGE.

TO THE EDITOR OF Till SUN. SlR,—Some time since I observed an article in one of the daily papers concerning the propriety of opening the British Museum on Sundays, and I am extremely sorry that no influential individual has yet taken up the sub ject. Many of the middle classes and others on Sunday resort to public-houses as a place of amusement (being the only day which they can call their own), in stead of which a greater part would rather pass their time in examining the many relics of antiquity and the arts stored up in this estimable but public exhibition, which, as I before said, they cannot, they have not the time, to do on any other day. Trusting that this renewed appeal may meet with at tention from some one through the medium of your highly valuable and widely circulated journal, who will take the trouble to further my views for the welfare of the community, Fremain, Sir, your's obediently, A CONSTANT READER. QUEEN'S THEATRE,TOTTENHAM-STREET.---• —This ,favourite little theatre opens on this night for the season, under the management of Mr. George Wild, who takes his benefit on that night. The performances an nounced for the occasion are of an unusually attractive nature, consisting of the well known romantic drama of the Evil Eye ; a new farce, entitled the Licensed Victualler; the celebrated burlesque burletta of Cupid ; several comic songs; and imitations, by Mr. Wrightingall, of some of the most distinguished performers of the day. With these various attractions, added to his own abilities as an actor, we have no doubt that Mr. Wild's benefit will answer all his expectations. Tlie General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Attwood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Cus tom-house yesterday. - MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—An inquest was held on the 24th instant, before Mr. J. L. Ellis, Coro. aer for West Sussex, at St. Leonard's, near Horsham, the residence of Major Aubrey William Beauclerk, on the body of Mrs. Beauclerk, aged 24, who was unfortunately drowned in a pond near the Mansion. house on the 23d inst. The Jury, after hearing evidence, returned the following verdict:—" Found drowned, and the Jury are of opinion that the said Ida Beauclerk might have been seized with giddiness, to which, as appears by the evidence, she was at times accustomed, and thereby accidentally fallen into the said pond." Major Beauclerk was formerly M. P. for one of the divisions of Surrey ; and his wife, whose lamentable death is_ here recorded, was the third daughter of Sir Charles Forster Goring, was married five years ago, and leaves a daughter to deplore ber loss. We hear that Mr. Thomson, of the house of Thomson and Bonner, was unfortunately drowned yester day, in attempting to save his wife, wbo fell out of a boat, near Maidenhead. We are glad to say that this year's lamising sea son has proved a very productive one to the breeders, We have never before witnessed so many duublea and trebles, in this neighbourhood ; and the weather having been mode rately fine at their falling, and the keep in general good, they have be en p retty well saved.—Cornwall Gazette. r EYE N T ' I NU EDI - 1.

Mr. CHILTON moved for a rule to show cause why the' writ de contumace capiendo, and all subsequent pric.ed ings in this case should not be set aside, and why the Rev. Ebenezer Morris should not pay all the costs. The writ in this case issued upon a significavit, mad. by David Archer Williams, the clerk, surrogate and representative of Augustus Nebel], Esq., Vicar-General and official to the Bishop of St. David's. There wore several objrc r tions to the writ, but the one on which he now relied was that, although the Vicar-General and official might make the significavit, still it must be done in the same cf the Bishop. Hare, however, it had been done by the deputy's deputy. David Jones had been in custody since the 1t313. December last, and his circumstances ware such as to ac count for the del a y w hi c h h a d ta k en p l ace, as it was hoped that some speedier ;lad less expensive romcdy might be found. Part of the present application was, that Mr. Jones be discharged out of custody. Mr. Justice Wicuaus—Take i rule to show cause. THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION GP MANCHESTER.

The French frigate, L'Artemise, arrived at Batavia on the 3d inst. There has been during the week two or three arrivals from Siam, bringing advioes from Bingitok to the 10th inst. The market continued favourable for British imports, especially for cotton goods and twist. From the New Singapore Price Current of the 27th Dee. COTTON GOODS—PLAIN, PRINTSD, AND The Venerable.'only brings a small supply of cotton manu factures - the stock of common qualities of plain goods, for which there is a fait demand, is still small; finer qualities continue in little request. TwisT.—The Venerable brings a large aapply, which will again depress the price. WooLLENs.--There is still some domanil for scarlet bombazets, and Spanish strips, which are scarce. Ortust.—There has been very little inquiry during the week for Benares, and we have heard of no transactions. The stock is very small, and holders not inclined to sell. We continue in the same state as is the early part of the morning, without news or any further arrivals, consequently the Funds continue in a stagnant state.

Mr. Stutz moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not be issued to Samuel Tie . Turd, Esq., a magistrate, directing him to sign and return to this Court certain convictions made before him under the Act for the suppression of treasonable and ss,ditious practice's. It having become known that Stowell the informer intended to lay informations against the British and Foreign Patent Invention Company fur having issued prospectuses without the printer's name; twenty-four friendly informations were laid by another party, for the purpose of defeating the com mon informer. A plea of guilty was entered, and it was agreed that the penalties in each case should be auitigated to 5/. Stowell then interfered, atLi the magistrate having some doubt as to th e l ega li ty o f t h e proceedings, deelir. €1 to draw up and return the conviction. Stowell then Laid the other informations before Sir F. Roe and Mr. Twy ford, who declined to proceed until the /pinion of this Court should be obtained. If his Lordship should eeter. tain any doubt on the subject, perhaps he would direct the magistrate to rehear the case. ..0* 0!) i 01 166
