THE COAL TRADE. On Thursday a very splendid entertainment was given by Mr. Robinson, the Chairman of the port of London and Navigation Committee, at the London Tavern, to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the members of the Committee. A great number of guests were invited to meet his Lordship. It was rumoured that a very exten sive coalowner would be present, who was represented as having been anxious to meet the Lord Mayor face to face, and to refute and for ever extinguish the statement made to the public by his Lordship relative to the existence of a combination and monopoly. Among those particularly connected with the River was Captain Fisher, the principal harbour-master, Mr. Saunders, the water-bailiff and de puty conservator of the Thames, Mr. Elmes, the port of London manager, and other officers. Mr. ROBINSON, in proposing the Lord Mayor's health, expressed the gratification he felt in being honoured with the presence of the Chief Magistrate, who was not only at the bead of the Navigation and Port of London Commit. tee ex officio, but who, as conservator of the river, had such exclusive power and exercised such boundless authority by virtue of his chartered rights. It would .give equal plea sure to every other gentleman present as it gave to him to arrest the opportunity of thanking his Lordship for the very able and energetic manner in which he aided and supported the Committee in carrying into operation the new by-laws so lately passed for the improvement of the navigation. The manner in which the Lord Mayor discharged the duties of his office generally gave great satisfaction, performed as they unquestionably were with remarkable steadiness, impartia lity, and judgment ; but the zeal displayed by him in the endeavour to break down the coal monopoly, and thereby benefit every one of his fellow-citizens, would never be for gotten, whether that exertion succeeded to the height of the general expectation or not, by the public. His Lord ship had commenced his Mayoralty in the most auspicious manner by making a resolute attempt to break down a mo nopoly which most grievously oppressed the poor, and by compelling oppressors of another character to adopt a prompt, although a reluctant imitation of humanity. The toast was given with three times three, and received with loud cheering. The Loan MAYOR, in returning thanks, said he feared that his fellow-citizens were too sanguine in their expecta tions of the issue of his exertions. After a Committee of th e House of Commons had declared that the combination in the coal trade could only be destroyed by a legislative enactment—after it was admitted by that Committee that for the purpose of preventing a body of merchants or traders from combining together to deprive others in the same business of the means of procuring the articles of merchandise, or to prohibit the sale, after the purchase was effected, under certain restrictions, it would be neces sary to subject them to such penalties as restrained common operatic a It was, perhaps, too much to expect any re markable change—at all events such change could not be accomplished without the energetic assistance of practical and persevering men. He could not see why there should be a law to curb the dangerous tendency of combinations amongst— the poor, and no law to counteract the more fatal consequences of combinations amongst the rich and powerful. --- i ( Cheers.) If the pitman or coal-whippers com bined to keep up or regulate their wages they were amen able to the laws ; but those who were so ready to complain against them would commit the very offences they were eager to punish with perfect impunity, and in the most bare faced manner. Although at present there was no Act of Parliament to prevent the - combination which now so natu rally occupied the public attention, and he much appre hended that no Act of the kind would pass, he believed that the public had in their own hands the power to put a period to its existence. His Lordship then gave The Health of Mr. Robinson," and observed, in a very power ful manner, upon the advantages which the Committee, the navigation, and the public at large derived from the four years' service of a gentleman who was possessed of practi cal knowledge and experience, which gave him (awl through him the Committee) such a superiority over in terested individuals, who, from tine to time, are influenced by private motives, and not by any even mixed considera tion for tho public good.—(Cheers.) His Lordship con cluded by expressing the pleusure he felt at being able to congratulate the Navigation Committee on the fact that they would be able to profit by Mr. Robinson's advice and assistance for another year. The next toast was " The Health of Deputy Blacket," . . the last chairman, who had also been extremely active. while in office, and on retiring from the office supplied his successor with all the valuable information of which he was possessed. The DEPUTY, in returning thanks, stated that he went down the river at the beginning of the week, and was quite satisfied at altered appearance which it presented. Al though he ob!.‘erved no fewer than 400 colliers, he foun,l • that they sere all placed in such regular and excellent order; and that the moorings were so complete, as to give assurance of freedom from all obstruction.—(Hear.) A great variety of toasts followed, and the company broke up with an apparent determination not to relax in their exertions to crush the monopoly, about which we ex pect to have some interesting communications to make in a few days. Who that gentleman was, from whom a powerful de fence of those who are said to constitute the combina tion was expected to issue, did not appear, for not one word was uttered during the evening in favour of the high price of coals. lI!PRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN FRANCE. The subject of imprisonment for debt in its general results, an 1 more especially as afF..!cting the interests of commerce, has recently been attracting attention in France, where the laws in force under that head are, as is known, much more se vere in their operation than the law as it lately existed in this country. As the chief objections to any amelioration or diminution of the rigour of the law lay with the mercantile and upper trading classes, inquiry has been directed as to the extent to which traders are really interested or sufferers by the actual state of the law, whether in the character of debtors or creditors, and the results collected, apparently with great per sonal industry on the part of one individual, are curious, as tending to show that, in fact, the trading classes, as a body, have far less to do with " gaols and sheriffs' officers" than other portions of the community. The fact, moreover, is worthy of notice as evidence of the commendable prudence and good faith of French traders in general in their commer cial transactions. Amongst the prisoners for debt in the city of Lyons, where traders and manufacturers exist in such num bers, there cculd be found fourteen silk manufacturers and eight dyers only during a period of five years, during which there had been two periods of panic or great suffering. In the prison of Marseilles not one person was incarcerated connected with the commerce or manufactures of the place, as soap makers, shipowners, shipbuilders, merchants, or bankers. At St. Etienne, equally well known for its iron works and coal mines, its manufactures of arms, silks, and silk gloves, there were none engaged in those branches of industry to be found in prison for debt, although cabaretiers (gin or wine-shop keepers), limonadiers, tavern keepers, and tailors might be seen there. At Avignon, during five years, but one person concerned in the madder trade, there so extensively carried on, had been imprisoned for debt. There was no greater number from among the wines. liqueurs, vinegar, and verdigris makers of Montpelier ; and although a large proportion of the debtors there same from Lund, where so much wine is pro duced, and from Cette, where more still is fabricated, yet of all prisons it was the one which contained the smallest propor tion of wine-dealers as prisoners for debt. Among the priso ners for debt in Paris, from 1831 to November 1833, 242 were proprietors (of lands or houses) or rentiers, 42 half-pay officers, 11 on full pay, 76 employes or clerks in public offices, 17 phy sicians, 18 schoolmasters, 9 jurisconsults, 3 literary men, 27 students, and 57 workmen, none of whom, of course can be considered as of the trading order, the number of traders in prison being in proportion greatly less in Paris as elsewhere. The proportion of traders among the various classes of detain ing creditors serves to bear out the statement that imprisonment for debt was had generally as little or less recourse to among commercial than other people. In Farb the number of detaining creditors who were merchants or dealers was 51, of pro prietors 30, of rentiers 5, bankers 9, clothes-dealers 12, provi sion dealers 13, persons without trade or calling 32, and other parties of different professions 40. At Lyons, 5 silk and vel vet manufacturers, 4 dealers in objects necessary for the manu facture, 4 dyers, and 1 banker were detaining creditors, the rest being 32 tailors or clothes dealers, 28 bakers or flour dealers, grocers, confectioners, wine-shop keepers, and horse - dealers. At Marseilles, the only commercial' detaining credi tors were one soapboiler and one banker. At St. Etienne one Iron-master and one maker of cutlery, detaining creditors. At Montpelier, two liqueur-makers, not one wine -merchant or manufacturer of verdigris, as detaining creditors ; and so on was the same result of inquiries in many other places. It is observed that generally throughout France about one-fourth part of the insolvents are not subjected to legal process at all ; about one-third are pursued, and in danger of being imprisoned for non-payment, the half of whom, atter a hearing, escape further trouble ; a very small number prosecuted for culpable negligence or fraud, an d a sma ll er num b er still actually found guilty and punished. In Paris about one half of the failures aro regulated by a co ncor d at; very few are the subject of a contrat d'un i on. Law pr ocee di ngs are abandoned against more than one-third. The larger portion of insolvencies are arranged by mutual agreement, and many are not followed up. So that it appears that, on the whole, the higher order of the trading classes are little interested either as debtor s or c re di tors in the maintenance of the law of imprisonment for d e b t , an d have least recourse to, and suffer least by its operation. The mass of those so interested appear to be non-traders, with a propor tion, besides, of the lowest sort of traders, morally and sub stantially.

THE BURGOTT TRAGEDY.—The proceedings of the Coroner's inquest in this case of painful interest, which have been most laboriously and assiduously conducted, have been brought to a c l ose , an d a ver di ct o f Wilful Murder has been recorded, on the finding of the Jury, against Rose. The prisoner Rose is a young man, about 28 years of age, of a fair complexion, rather above the middle size, and a native of the parish of Honiley, in War wickshire. There is nothing ferocious in his appearance, although he has the air of a passionate man. He looked troubled and wild on the first day of the inquest, from wear ing his hair rather long, and hanging over his eyes, and bad a good deal of that anxious expression of countenance na tural to one in his situation. Poor Hollier, the victim, was a mild inoffensive young man, remarkably quiet in his man ners, and kind in his disposition ; of the latter quality he gave many proofs to his twin sister, who has long been in a consumption, and whom he visited on the morning of the fatal day. lie was a needle-pointer, and unfortunately ad dicted to drunkenness—a vice to which a great majority, of the men who follow the same occupation unhappily give way —Worcester Journal.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 11. IN RE THE POOR KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared in support of a petition on the behalf of Lieut. Holman, the celebrated blind traveller, and one of the poor Naval Knights of Windsor, praying that residence in the College might be dispensed with in his case, as he was anxious to travel again. It appeared to the LORD CHANCELLOR that the visitors of the Charity ought to be served with the petition. The matter was postpcned for that purpose. NEDBY V. NEDBY. Mr. WAKEFIELD aid Mr. Rooens appeared in suppert of an appeal from an order made by the Vice-Chancellor in this case on the 29th Nov. last. From their statements it appear, d that the bill was filed by Mrs. Nedby for the purpose of obtaining payment of dividends of a sum of 1,3001 stock, left by Mr. Kee gan, her former husband, in trust for her separate use, free from the control of any husband she might afterwards marry. The widow, soon after her husband's death, married Mr. Nedby, who was one of the trustees of the said trust, and named by Mr. Keegan. After the marriage the lady executed a deed whereby she assigned half of the said bond to Mr. Nedby, her then husband, for his life, and the whole of it she gave Urn after her death. Mr. Neck claimed the dividends in the double right, viz., by his marital rights, and by virtue of this deed ; yet the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the wife was still entitled, and he ordered accordingly. The LORD CtIANcF.I.Loa said the order was contrary to the practice of the Court, and on that ground alone he would order it to be discharged. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JAN. 11. BIRMINGHAM, BRISTOL, AND THAMES JUNCTION RAILWA Y COMPANY V. LOCKE. This was ao action to recover from the defendant the amount of some calls due by him to the Company, of which he was alleged to be a proprietor. The defence was, that be was not a proprietor, and that the Acts of Parliament relating to the Company had not been complied with. A verdict was given for the plaintiffs. Sir W. FOLLETT now moved to set aside the verdict, and enter a nonsuit, contending that the provisions of the Acts had not been complied with. The COURT granted the rule. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF MIDDLESEX. Mr. BODKIN (with whom was Mr. Duane) said that he ap peared to move for a mandamus to the defendants to enter continuances and quash a county rate. The rate had been made the subject of an appeal, and the Quarter • Sessions had confirmed the rate. The order of confirmation was brought up to this Court, and the Court had quashed the order. The Sessions had refused to take this as an order quashing the rate. In his opinion it did amount to that, but the Sessions had refused so to consider it, and the present application had therefore become necessary. Lord DENMAN—The- Sessions confirmed the rate, and the Court they ought not to have done it. 'The COURT granted the rule. The .ATTt,RNEY- GENERAL, suggested that the question should be argued before the next Sessions, in order to serve as a guide to the Justices. The proposition was assented to. THE QUEEEN V. TILE CORPORATION OF I.lvEttrooL. Lord DENMAN delivered judgment in this case. This was an appeal on behalf of the Corporation against a rate which had been imposed on the property of the Corporation. This p-operty consisted of sources of income which, before the late Act, were employed fur the relief of the poor of the borough, and were still liable to be applied to those purposes. The question arose on the ninety-second section of the Municipal Reform Act. His Lordship said the order of Sessions eon. firming the rate must be quashed. TIIE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF ALNWICK. Lord DENMAN delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. This was a question on the validity of an assessment, upon what was asserted to be a beneficial occupation of the Moor of Alnwick by the Corporation of that town. The question in substance was, whether the tenure of the Corpo ration was such as to subject the Corporation to rating in re spect of it. The Court quashed the order of Sessions. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 1 CARDAN V. THE GEN EIcAL METROPOLITAN CEMETERY COMPANY. The COURT gave judgment in this case, which was argued last Term in demurrer to the first and second pleas. The de feadant's Counsel had admitted these pleas to be, bad, but had objected that the declaration disclosed no cause of action, and was misconceived. The action was in debt for moneys paid and services performed by the plaintiff in' procuring the Act of Parliament establishing the Cemetery Company, and was brought against the present Directors of that Company. It had boon argued that the action was not maintainable, because there could be no contract between the plaintiff and the Direc tors of a Company, which, at the time when the service bad been performed, was not established ; but the Act of Parlia ment expressly provided that the expenses of procuring it should be paid cut of the firat receipts of the Company, and the Court held that that provision was expressly introduced for the purpose of meeting an objection of that sort ; and they thought that the action► was not misconceived, for though per haps, an action on the case might lie, still the plaintiff had his election between that and an action of debt. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN 1 1. ISAACS V. BELCHER AND OTHERS. Mr. KELLY obtained a rule nisi to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff in this case. It was an action of trover, brought to recov,r the value of some household furniture, wines, &c. EQUITY EXCHEQUER, JAN. 11. HODGES V. THE. ATTORNEY-GENERAL. This was a bill filed by William Hodges and John Norman against the Attorney-General, praying a declaration that the plaintiffs are entitled to an equitable mortgage or lien upon certain premises, that an account might be taken of what was due to them upon such lien, and that the premises might be sold, and the money applied to the payment of the lien. The premises were originally the property of a person named Bayley, who being indeb:ed to the plaintiffs, deposited the deeds of the property with them as a security. He was after wards transported for a felony, and the premises became for. kited to the Crown, and the question now was, whether the Court could decree a sale against the Crown, and make the declaration prayed for. Mr. Baron ALDERSON this morning gave judgment, de claring the plaintiffs entitled to an equitable mortgage of the property, and directing an account to be taken, and that the plaintiffs should hold the property till the amount of their claim was satisfied. His Lordship did not think the Court had jurisdiction to order the sale, because the legal estate was vested in the Crown. Mr. HOSKINS—What pieces of money did VIC_ ount con sist of? Prosecutrix—Four half-crowns and seven shillings. A policeman partly corroborated the old lady's statement, whom Mr. HOSKINS asked what did you find upon him? Wit ness—Five half-crowns, six shillings, and a sixpence, together with twelve duplicltes for articles of various descriptions—a rocket-book, a gold seal, a key, and brooch. Mr. HOSKINS—Did he appear at all intoxicated ? Witness —Ho did not. The prisoner,. in reply to the Magistrate, repeated his de nial of the offence imputed to him, and said that the money found upon him was his own. He stands fully committed for the highway robbery, but will be brought up again on a future day, the constable having received directions to make inquiry in the meantime with regard to the property named in the duplicates. The prisoner, who is said to be respectably connected, was then locked up. THAMES OFFICE. TIIE LATE MURDER OF A GASIEKEEPER.—In consequence of information that one of the men concerned in the murder of Mr. Harvey Combe's gamekeeper, and for whose appre hension a reward is offered, was employed about the works of the new Greenwich Pier, Richard Croucher, a Thames Office surveyor, repaired to that place on Wednesday last, and found a man answering in every respect the description of a man named James Allen alias the (;obbler, a Kingston man, who had been advertised as one of the men concerned in the attack on the gamekeeper, and against whom a Coroner's Jury have returned a vei diet of wilful murthr. Mr. BALLA N FINE directed Croucher to convey him to Horse monger Lane Gaol, where the approver is cmifined, and on the man being shown to him, he at once declared he was not the man who was concerned in the affraywith the gamekeeper:, ARCHES COUR7', JAN. 11. GRANT V. GRANT. This is a suit for divorce promoted by Captain Grant against Maria Theresa, his wife, on the grounds of adultery._ Judgment deferred. THE OFFICE OF TIIE JUDGE PROMOTED BY BECKE V. MARSHALL AND PAGE. This is an appeal from the Consi3tory Court of the Bishop of Peterborougt. in a question as to the right of a sitting in the Church of MI Saints, in the borough of Northampton, brought by Mr. Becke, an inhabitant of that parish, against Messrs. Marshall and Page, who served the office of church wardens during the year of 1835. The Learned Judge of the Court below directed in favour of the churchwardens, express ing his opinion that they had fulfilled their duty in refusing the demand of Mr. Becke, and condemned that gentleman in two thirds of the costs of the proceedings. An appeal has been entered against his decision. The decision was accordingly postponed. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY THE REV. -- BREEKS V. WOOLF REY. The Proctor for Mrs. Woolfrey said that the costs of his party had been taxed, and that they amounted to 131. 9s. 4d., of which he acknowledged the receipt. Dr. A DDAMS would take this opportunity of saying that if his party had had to pay her own costs, she would not have been completely ruined. There was a rumour abroad that these proceedings were very expensive. The COURT—Yes, such a rumour is prevalent. It is uni verally believed that the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Courts are attended with the greatest expense. Dr. ADDAMS—The whole sum, including fees fur Counsel, and all other expenses, is taxed at the enormous sum of 131. 93. 4d. The whole amount of the costs of the proceeding to which Mrs. Woolfrey was liable, was 261. 6s. Bd., out of which she receives the sum of 131. 9s. 4d., for the payment of those legal expenses which the rules of the Court sanction and uphold. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Jr hrt Boileau, a person formerly holding the rank of Lieu tk-nant in the 90th Regiment of Foot, was b roug ht b e f ore Mr. DYER, charged with having defrauder' Mr. Grace, pro prietor of the Colosseum Tavern, by means of a fictitious halflpayinstrument, M. Grace said he had known the prisoner slip.htly for about two years. On ascertaining that the half pay certi ficate was quite valueless, he caused the prisoner to be taken into custody. The spurious draft was upon Cox and Greenwood, a clerk from whose house proved the fraud. The prisoner begged to be sent to the prison from whence he had come until the day of trial. Mr. DYER said he had no power to make out his commit ment otherwise than to Newgate. The prisoner was then removed. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a tall, well-dressed man White. residing in the New-road., end who described himself as an agent to the Glass Works Company at South Shields, was brought up in custody of a constable of the S division and placed at the bar before Mr. HOSKINS and Lord MONTFORD, on the fol lowing charge of highway robbery Mrs. Ann Wheatley, a respectable widow, of advanced age and very infirm, deposed that she lived at No. 16, Upper Park-place, Dorset-square, and that on the previous evening, about seven o'clock, as she was walking along the New-road towards home, she was accosted near Trinity Church by the prisoner, who, observing that she was holding against her face a handkerchief, asked her if she was suffering from the tooth ache? She replied that she was not, and he then asked her how far she was going, at the same time proffering his arm. She refused to accept it, and desired him to leave, but he still kept close to her, and forcibly dragged her into the Regent's Park, at the entrance called Park-gate, when he conducted himself towards her in an indecent manner, and, introducing his 11 94 fttto her pocket, stole therefrom 17s. in *aver, MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (Prom the New London Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR.—For British Plantation there has been a brisk de mand this week, and prices have advanced is a is 6d ; the lower descriptions have been most in request; 103 hhds Barbadoes at auction sold briskly at 63s 6cl to 67s 6d, being about 6d, and on some lots is higher than they would have brought at the sales which took place just before the holidays; by private contract fine middling nearly fine Grenada have been sold at 655, a little inferior at 645, middling from the different colonies at 60s to 63;, very brown. Berbice at 55s 6d, and very little better Jamaica at 575. Sot - ne of these purchases it appears have been made on speculation; a report of Sugars being likely to be used in the Distilleries, on account of the high prices of Cam, may have had some influence in the animation we have experienced in the market. The surplus in the stock et the Docks keeps still gradually decreasing ; on the returns of the sth instant, amounting to 2: 1 ,931 hhds, 3,054 tierces, and 1,492 barrels, it was 6,768 hhds, 1,254 tierces, and 453 barrels. Last week's delivery consisted of 1,789 hhds, 103 tierces, and 124 barrels, which is again nca-ly 500 hhds more than a twelvemonth before. In the reports at the Custom-house the difference is but very trifling; since the 2d instant, they amount to 575 hhds, and 22 tierces.
