A correspondent of a morning Contemporary notices the following, among other complaints which are now being made by the more moderate and ra tional party in the Church against certain of the clergy, chiefly curates, who entertain Tractarian notions :—First, their doing the service in black gowns or white gowns ; secondly,' their bowing before the altar ; thirdly, their omitting or inter polating prayers; fourthly, their turning to the east, and often with their backs to the whole congrega tion ; fifthly, their introducing a prayer in another part of the church after the sermon, which embraces scarcely more than has been actually prayed for three or four times in the Liturgy ; sixthly, their establishing offertories directed by the curate's own choice, and even pertaining to other countries; and lastly, their refusing marriages and burials, and even the Holy Sacrament, to persons on -their death-bed, according to their own caprice. We agree with our Contemporary's correspondent that these innovations—which, by the by, have been un known for ages—are all frivolous, and some of them even ridiculous ; and we ask with him, "Can any one imagine the SUPREME BEING to be conciliated by such thoroughly insignificant forms and cere monies ?" But not only are they absurd in a religious sense, but they are eminently mischievous in a worldly point of view, for they are creating dis gu:ts and jealousies and heart-burnings in the Church, and sowing the seeds of between the clergyman and his parishioners, which will be sure ere long to produce a plentiful harvest, and give a shock to the Establishment from which it will be slow to recover. If ever there was a time when it was necessary for the Church to play a conciliatory part—when it was absolutely indispensable to its temporal safety to maintain an appearance of complete harmony and unity—that time is the present ; and yet it is precisely at this critical moment that it is most distracted by internal _feuds and jealousies, and instead of concealing, seems ts) take a perverse satisfaction in exhibiting its sui sid,sl differences to the world! And wherefore all these dissensions in the Church ? What is their origin—what the object which the Dissentients have In view? They originate in a childish passion for spe cious forms and ceremonies, and old, obsolete ob servances—obsolete, because proved by experience to be utterly worthless—among men whose imagination is more mnarkable than their understanding; and their ob ject is to substitute the show for the substance—the form for the essence—the dead letter for the living spirit of religion, with a view to take captive the fancy of /T en, and by artful appeals to what exists in under them ain thof I ,, t ,simentality, to bring them on ce ag i ns iNous domination of priestcraft. Such i s the ob ject,e scarcely concealed now, which the Tractarians ;have i n view in so sedulously promoting what they the 3 yestoption of the Church to it original purity, The spirit of free bold inquiry that has been so rife of late years, and which is rather the ally than the antagonist of true religion, is abhorent to these zealots, who, if they possessed the power— which we can confidently assure them they never will possess—would check the progress of the human mind in every direction, and put a stop to all legiti mate freedom of thought and action, from an appre hension, certainly not ill-founded, that it would prove injurious to their arbitrary and unwarranted pre tensions. Plausible as are its professions, lofty as are its claims, disinterested, to all appearance at least, as , are its motives, and sagacious as are its advocates in their capacity of Divinity sophists, Tractarianism is neither more nor less than a crusade .against common sense—a dictatorial attempt to check the advance of the human mind by subjecting it, by slow and artful degrees, to the uncontrolled, irresponsible dominion of priestcraft. Surely our Bishops, as men deeply in terested in the temporal welfare of the Church, should at once actively interfere in order to put a atop to these childish—but, alas ! dangers also—freaks of the Tractarians ! But instead of this, we find them doing—what ? Actually throwing the weight of their influence into the scales of Tractarianism I We do not mean to say that all the Prelates are guilty of such injudicious conduct, but certainly two of the cleverest and most active of their number are ob noxious to the charge of so acting. We allude, of course, to the Bishops of LONDON and EXIITBR-- _ and 27 9-16 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20i at 60 days; the Floating Debt at 64/, and the Debt without interest at 61 at 60 days. Several of the Paris papers publish the letter from Otaheite, which appeared in the English journals a few days since, and express some indignation at the imputations cast on the French officers. This is only what might have been expected, for the writer evi dently had a strong bias against the present occupants, and made insinuations against them, to say the least, not very probable. The Constitutionnel, in adverting to the subject, says, "The letter, which is as odious as it is ridiculous, can meet with nothing but contempt from every right feeling mind in France and in Eng land." The National refuses to sully its pages by the insertion of the letter, and perhaps this is the best way to treat these export() statements which are often full of exaggeration, and occasionally not founded on facts. Some of the journals express regret that France should ever have taken such useless and dis tant settlements under her protection, and throw no little blame on the Government for its want of fore sight. Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, it appears, has no wish to return to France at present. " A letter from that officer," says the Presse, " announces that the news of his disavowal has reached him, and that being left at liberty to return to France, either directly or in about two years, after accomplishing a voyage, he has determined on adopting the latter course." The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho rising the Minister of the Interior to open an extra ordinary credit of 240,000 francs (9,6001.), to defray the expense of the experiment of an electric telegraph on a railroad of at least 24 leagues (60 miles) in length. The experiment, it is said, will be made on the Paris and Rouen line. The following literary gossip appears in the Paris Globe : " M. Dujarrier, the proprietor of the Presse, has taken M. Alexander Dumas upon lease at 60,000 f. a year. The Constitutionnel announces to-day that it has acquired the exclusive property of M. Eugene Sue—we know not at what price, but we believe that he is to have a share in the property of the paper. The proprietors of the Cour vier Francais have offered M. Victor Hugo half the pro perty of their journal for his novel entitled Quiquen grone.' But it is not only the novel that the daily press absorbs, it is also the higher walks of literature and his tory. The aforesaid 111. Dujarrier has just bought for 80,000 f. in cash, and an annuity of 4,0001., M. de Cha teaubriand's 'Memoires d'Outre-Tombe.' Thus that book which, like a will, was to have appeared but after the death of the writer of ' Rene,' and 'Les Martyrs,' will be published during the life of the testator between a feuil leton of fashions and theatricals. This is not all. It is, at this moment, contemplated publishing M. Thiers History of the Empire' in the shape of feuilletons in the Constitutionnel. The bargain is proceeding ; if M. Thiers do but consider the hopes of a portefeuille as dis. tent, he will assent to the arrangement. From that mo ment the bargain may be considered as concluded. Thus journalism will, ore long, absorb politics, the novel, high literature, history, and science." The subjoined letter from Bayonne, dated the 21st instant, appears in the Constitutionnel:— News has just been received hero that great agita tion reigns in Upper Aragon and at Saragossa, and that two small towns have reared the standard of revolt and declared against the Government, after having dis armed two companies of the Bourbon regiment and a company of carabineers. We have no positive accounts of Zurbano. Official reports from the authorities and Consuls intimate that he has crossed the Ebro and got into Navarre, while from other sources we are assured that the intrepid guerilla is in Old Castile, marching upon Lower Aragon, by Morella, where he hopes to raise some partizans. We are assured that the Basque provinces are to be put in a state of siege, which will be a violation of their fueros. The authorities on the fron tier have been recommended to observe the strictest surveillance." Very little business was done in the funds at TOR TONI'S on Sunday. The Three per Cents. were quoted at 83f. M. DE LAMARTINE, the eloquent Member for Ma con, has just published a long dissertation on the principles which actuate his party as contrasted with those of the Opposition under M. THIERB. The fol lowing spirited attack on the ex-President of the Council contains much truth : " Could we make common cause with him ? No, we may be left for a moment in an isolated condition, but we are reflecting men. We are not acting the mounte bank before the people. We respect the people too much to attempt to amuse them. So far from that, we have the courage to tell them some useful truths, even when we know that they aro far from being palatable to them at the moment. Thus, we spurned to sing the Marseillaise,' during three months, to demand levies of men en masse, and to make the pillars of the tribune vibrate, on a pal try question of religi on , w hi c h h a d arisen between a Methodist missionary and some Catholic missionaries, supported, right or wrong, by a French officer, at a dis tance of some thousand leagues from France, on an im perceptible islet of the Pacific Ocean. We did not attempt to seek so far and so low the stumbling-block, a thousand times accursed, which might shako the peace of the world and stain savage shores with European blood. It is not on that miserable shoal that the peace of Europe can run aground, if it be ever to be broken. There are noble fields on the Rhine, and a valuable prey to contend for on the banks of the Medi terranean. The Romans there conquered empires ; our noisy politicians f a ll f ur i ous l y upon a rock of which Eng land does not even deign to dispute the possession. You would not go to war when war was at your gates, for a grand cause in the East, and you wanted to make Ota heite a cause of war ! Why ? Because you well knew that war could not grow out of that question I Thus, likewise, when the King went to England, to return the visit of a young Queen who had come last year to pre sent to him a pledge of good harmony, and remove by her presence the painful recollection of the treaty of the 15th of July, my friends did not attack the Ministry for allowing royal politeness to .'be returned by the King of the most polite nation in the universe. We did not blame the King for smoothing as much as in his power the thorny path on which diplomacy too often comes into .collision. We certainly conceived that the clock of the Tuileries was some weeks in advance ; we should have preferred that symptomatic journey to have been postponed for a month or two. We condemned the Ministry for omitting to completely terminate the affair of Morocco, and for neglecting to obtain, at the risk of displeasing England, full reparation, guarantees, and the expenses of the war before it permitted the King to embark ; but that blame, which merely at tached to Ministers, did not induce us to view with ill will the meeting of two Sovereigns, representing the _ high sympathies of two great nations, and establish ing a friendly feeling between them, notwithstanding the rivalry of their Governments. We are more philo sophers than politicians, or rather our politics are but the philosophy of humanity. We have not sifted words of mutual peace, to seek in them susceptibilities, motives of hatred or snares, as if too many did not already exist among nations. We frankly applauded, if not all.the expressions, at least the general tenour of the King's speeches in England. In order to judge them impar tially, we placed ourselves in a situation where we were neither influenced by the feelings of the moment nor blinded by party spirit ; we:estimated them from what might bo their probable results ; and we could not but admire a pacific King boldly raising the standard of union between the two nations, above international pre judices, aid employing the voice of France to proclaim the dogma of concord. The mission he assumed ap peared to us not timid, but novel and daring ; for it is more difficult to prevail on the French nation to listen to reason than to glory. No, we considered it no shame , on the part of a Sovereign to use the throne as the most ele va.ted point between nations, whence to proclaim, supported by 30,000,000 armed citizens, a desire to maintain European harmony, to avow a desire to see peace con solidated, and to admit and approve the dogma of re spect for human blood, an d th e h app i ness of nations. A Kig acting such a part. raises himself the ,sr philosopher. W e ot t er no opposition to philosophy, even when it becomes identified, either by chance or by good luck, with the person of a king. In every other respect we pursued nearly the same line as did the Opposition. We differ from them, however, on one point, for we ex pect no better from the Ministry that may be chosen from its ranks, than from the Ministry it attacks. The cause of liberty seeking its avenger in the Minister of the laws of September, and the cause of national dignity personified in the Minister of 1840, and committed to the safe keeping of the man who recalled our fleet from the Levant, and signed the note of the Bth of October ! This, in my opinion, would be to carry the jest too far, and to insult with too much effrontery the good sense of the country. But if the county wishes it—if it amuse the Opposition —we have nothing to say to it. In a comedy there is an actor for every part. Our affairs are conducted on a similar principle. We are wrong to regard with seriousness, liberty, revolution, and the gran deur of our revolution. It is an error, but an error which history wilLahare with us." TIIE BOURSE-.-SATURDAY, Nov. 23.

WALTHR BLUM; of Helston, have inflicted a world of mischief on the best interests of the Church Establishment. We anticipate a vast increase in the ranks of Dissent from the ill-judged and ill-timed officiousness of these twin episcopal luminaries, who seem to be on the most distant terms of acquaintance with common sense, and to be endowed with the very extraordinary and peculiar power of moving in no direction but a wrong one ! SHAKSPEARR'S complaint admirably applies to them : " Man, vain man, Dressed in a little brief authority, Plays such fantastic tricks beforo high Heaven As make the angels weep !" While the Conservatives of the great county of Durham are split into distinct sections, and squabbling among each other with such evident heartiness, that it would scarcely appear possible that there could ever be an entire re-union of the party, the Conserva tives of Bristol are not less troubled with internal divisions, which, as might be anticipated, have had the effect of very considerably reducing their num bers, and impairing their efficiency. At a late meet ing of the members of the fraternity which took place in that city, the Chairman made more than one allu sion to these divisions, observing that he was per fectly aware of their existence which, indeed, it was impossible to deny, and that they were chiefly to be dated from the period of the last election. But a gentleman, named SHAW, spoke out still more frankly on the subject, and urged the following remarkable argument as a reason why the Bristol Conservatives should put an end to their feuds, and once again hang closely together, like so many onions on a rope : " He felt the time had come," said this plain-spoken gentleman, " when either they must be entirely anni hilated as a party, or once more be re-united ; it would be a waste of time to enter into the cause of the divisions which had so much injured the party, dissevering its members and pros trating its strength. Through their heartlessness and want of energy, what had they not lost in the shape of patronage! By their not being able to return two Members at the last election they had lost a considerable portion of that patronage which it was usual for the Minister to give his friends I" In the above passage the few expressive words which we have marked in italics give us a clear insight into the real character of Bristol Conservatism, which we take for granted differs in no respect from Conservatism in any other place. It seems, then, according to Mr. Suaw's candid definition, that a Conservative association is a gathering together of certain quick-witted individuals for the pur pose of promoting their own personal interests, and try ing what they can screw from the fears or prudence of the Ministry by their political influence as a compact, united confederacy. No nobler object do they pro pose to themselves by their union. There is nothing like disinterested patriotism in the case. As for principle, this is a matter only to be talked about, not to be acted on. The sole principle of action they recognise, is the very pleasant and convenient one of helping themselves to as many of the good things of place and power as the Minister—having previously had value received from them in the shape of elec tioneering support, &c.—throws in their way. Aide toi, a ciel t aidera—in other words, look to Number On —is their motto. Church and State—Year. and our glorious Constitution—these are specious ques tions enough to act as a blind—to be thrown out as a tub to amuse that great whale, the public ; but Num ber One is the question of questions—the only one worthy of serious consideration. Unite, then, Con servatives of Bristol, unite by all means, for thus only will you he enabled to wring from the Minister a fair share of patronage If you quarrel among yourselves, you will lose your power; and if you lose your power you will, as a necessary consequence, lose your chance of getting a snug slice or two of the loaves and fishes ! See what you have already lost by your foolish dis sensions! had you acted harmoniously together at the last election you might have returned two Members for Bristol, but instead of this you only returned one, consequently you lost " a considerable portion of that patronage which it is usual for the Minister to give his friends !" Such is the candid and communicative Mr. SUAw's advice to his brother Conservatives, and we thank him for his honest, downright plain-speaking, f or it con fi rms us in an r'fipression which we have long entertained—namely, :hat the principle of Conservatism, like that of Mo- nopoly, is essentially one of selfishness. These Tories in a masquerade dress profess a great deal, but when you call on them to put in practice what they preach, you find them utterly wanting in good faith and con sistency. They talk about making a stubborn stand for " things as they are," at the very moment when they are maintaining the doctrine of expediency, which, they well know, will compel the Premier to give us " things as they ought to be," the instant the pressure from without becomes sufficiently powerful In a word, while in their speeches they make a vas parade of their independence, in their acts they show ,hemselves the mere obsequious tools of Sir R. PBBL, Lan F Just now the majority of them are strenuously opposed to the Corn-law, but let the Premier once issue the word of command, and they will instantly falsify all their hustings pledges on the subject, and swallow Free-trade with as inuell Appultuil, reaalness, and even relish, as an Alderman swallows turtle soup. In the Spanish Chamber of Deputies a lengthened discussion took place on the clause of the Reform Bill which annuls the hereditary right of the Peers to seats in the Upper Chamber. The Marquis of MONTH VIRGEN moved, as an amendment, that the functions of senators should be hereditary, in certain aristocratic families. Senor CALLAN() opposed the amendment, on the ground that aristocracy no longer existed in Spain, and that it could not be revived by a law in defiance of public opinion. The Minister of the Interior also spoke against the motion, and said the Government in pre paring the measure, had not lost sight of the conspicuous part which the nobility had acted in tho history of Spain, while they, at the same time, looked to the present state of society, which did not permit a larger share of power to be given to the aristocracy than that contaiaed in the Bill. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 88 against CO. According to some accounts, &WANG had en tered the town of Saria, where he wits well received by the inhabitants, and where he, of course, took an opportunity of showing his cruel disposition.

'4 for cash, TEE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1844. CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR D. (Before the RECORDER, Alderman CHALLIS, BC(9 Charles Wilson and John White, the first thirty years of age, and the latter twenty, both labourers, were indicted for stealing sheep at Lewisham. They severally pleaded Guilty. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the circumstances attending the transaction for which they stood before the Court sufficiently proved that it was not a solitary instance of felony. This opinion was further strengthened by the fact,that in their residence in London a quantity of wool was found, and they could give no good account of themselves to justify the Court in sup posing that hunger had prompted them to the act in question. The sentence of the Court was that they be transported for ten year*. Caroline Berry and Elizabeth Phasey were charged with stealing a brooch, a pair of ear-rings, a ring, and dress, valued at 200 L, the property of John Goldie, the master of the latter prisoner. Mrs. Elizabeth Georgiana Goldie, 39, Baker-street, Portman-square, said the latter prisoner was servant with her. Witness left town about the latter end of June, and returned in October, Phasey, during her ab sence, being left in charge of the house. She had ob tained permission to bring the charwoman (Berry) occasionally into the house. The jewellery was kept in a wardrobe in the front room, which on her return she found open, and Phasey on being questioned, said, that:the door had been unlocked, and when the articles were ascer tained to be stolen, she said(that possibly. Berry, or a man named Payne, whom she had known in Leamington, and who had slept once or twice in the house, might have taken them. She observed no marks of violence upon the cupboards. William Henry Clarke, was in the employ of Mr. Dobree, pawnbroker, Gilbert-street. The prisoner Berry came to the shop alone on tho 16th September, and pledged the brooch in question. She said she had brought it from Madame Davis, and asked 3s. upon it. The foreman was also present, and he also saw the brooch. She came again on the 18th, and wanted Bs. in addition upon the brooch. By the RECORDER—The brooch had not before been examined to ascertain its proper value. She came again on the 19th, and said that Madame Davis wanted 255. on the ear-rings and brooch,fsaying that: they had before been pledged for 30s. The prisoner said that they were paste, and her account was taken. They had not in quired whether they were the property of Madame Davis, who lived in Gilbert-street, for they had had pledges from the same house in a French name. Elizabeth Sarah Goldie—Before the family went out of town she examined the wardrobe, and observed the jewel-boxes, locked the wardrobe, put the keyl into another wardrobe, and locked that also. Carried the key into the country, and gave it to her mother. There were two bolts on one of the folding-doors of the ward robe one at the top and one at the bottom—which had been fastened before she left town, but were found opened when she returned. She did not observe the marks of any instrument, as if the bolts had been forced. It was a patent lock. By the RECORDER—The lady's maid was present when the wardrobes were locked. George Wm. Bilson, shopman with Mr. Barker, of 21, Great Portland-street, produced a silk dress pawned by the prisoner Berry, in the name of Madame Maltazzi, of Nassau-street. It was pledged for 30s. James Golder, with Mr. Beam, of Munster -street, produced the ring, which he could not swear was pledged by either of the prisoners. Mrs. Goldie identiled all the property. Sergeant Thompson, 4 I), took Berry into custody. She said she did not steal the jewellery, and would not say who did, as " she would not wish to transport any body ; she would sooner drown herself in the Serpentine." After taking her to the station-house, he went with constable Ross to her room, and found a variety of duplicates relating to the property. Ross, 157 I), went to Baker-street, and took Phasey into custody. On the way to the station-house she ad mitted having taken one of the young ladies' boas, and having worn it a little. Edward Payne has been living " in place," but had " been out" for thirteen months. Knew Mr. Goldie's laundry-maid (the prisoner Phasey), and called to see her. He slept in the house three or four times. He did not always sleep in the same room ; upon one occasion another man slept in the house. Captain Goldie was also there, and witness made him self generally useful to him while in the house. One evening Phasey desired him to go into one of the rooms, and bring her a boa. He went into both front and back rooms and found one of the wardrobes open. He went out with Phasey twice, on one occasion leaving Berry behind, and on the other leaving the house empty. The time might be about the 9th of September. This witness was cross-examined by Mr. BALLAN TINE, but nothing particular elicited. The jury were then addressed at considerable length by Mr. Ballantine, on behalf of the prisoner Phasey ; and the Recorder having, in summing up, pointed out that though there was scandalous inattention exhibited on her part towards her employers, yet that the whole evidence did not show her once as having come in con tact with the stolen property, and that Berry had been the instrument employed to pledge that property in fictitious names at the different pawn brokers, and that she had ample opportunity, if so in clined, to be a principal in the robbery. The jury consulted, and after some little time returned a verdict of " Guilty of larceny" against the former, and " Not guilty" against the latter. The COURT then passed a sentence of transportation for seven years. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Anne Holmes was charged with wilfully breaking seven panes of glass in the Clerkenwell workhouse. Mr CoNuE sentenced her, in default of the payment of the fine, to a month's imprisonment and hard labour. A travelling tinman, named Walker was charged with threatening to stab police-constable 427 N. The prisoner was creating a disturbance in the Lower road, Islington, between eleven and twelve on the pre vious night, when the constable interfered. The prisoner swore that if he did not go off at once he would draw his knife and stab him, and put his hand in his pocket for his knife. In default of fine, the prisoner was committed for five days. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The President of the Chamber of Representatives announced that the general debate on the project of law relative to corn having been closed, the debate on the articles was to begin. After a long debate, and the proposal of several amendments, some of which were agreed to, the Chamber adopted the several parts of the project of law, and fixed its duration for two years. This last was carried by a majority of only one vote. The Minister of Finance then presented a project of law for alienating some national domains, and for the acquisition of some parcels of land to be added to the , domain of Tervenren. The celebrated Berzelius has just been seized with so violent a congestion of blood that great apprehen sions are felt for the result.

For obvious reasons the facts connected with the rob bery of the banking-house of Messrs. Rogers and Co. were kept with the greatest possible secrecy until a late hour yesterday, and then only through the medium of the Mansion-house, and an official statement through the solicitors employed to conduct the inquiry. It was, indeed, not long before the close of business at the Stock Exchange that the fullest extent of this enormous robbery was known. We understand that assistance was immediately tendered to the firm. The business goes on as usual. As all that has yet transpired is most sacredly kept from the public, it would be worse than useless —nay, dangerous in the extreme, to give any of the rumours that are current relative to this extraordinary circumstance. As The Sun was the only paper that had full particulars of the notes, &c., stolen, it was in great request yesterday afternoon. There is a numerous attendance of persons at the Mansion-house to-day, in the expectation that something may have transpired to give the " where abouts" of the thief or thieves ; but up to mid-day nothing whatever had been stated. There are not any arrivals in the City to-day from the British Colonies or elsewhere, of importance. In fact, the delinquency above referred to, is the almost sole engrossing topic of conversation in monetary and other circles this morning, The general opinion is, that the parties to the robbery made their way imme diately after the robbery to the continent. The most active means have been taken to apprehend the robbers. Stocks continue very firm, but there is very little doing. Consols are 1004 4 for Money and Time. Exchequer Bills realise 60s. to 625. premium, and India Bonds under 1,000/. 82s. to 84s. premium. Bank Stock is 206 to 2064, being a further ad vance . I n di a Stock has been steady at 286/.

(Before Sir HERBER T JENNER FUST.) The Court sat this morning for the purpose of hear ing motions for probate, and other ordinary business. In the case of the testament of Alexander Petre a motion for probate was made under the following circum stances :—lt appeared that the testator duly executed before witnesses his will in Rehm/fry, 1843, to which it was alleged that he had subsequently appended several codicils, amongst which WA S one said to have been exe cuted in th© month of August, 1843, by which he be queathed certain personal property to his two executers, i but on the face of this document, which was written upon two sheets of paper, the affidavits on the part of the next of kin alleged that th ere appears an erasure after l the letters, 1843 being the date of the codicil, and that a large space intervened between the termination of the codicil, on the one side of the sheet of paper, and the ' signature of the testator and witnesses upon the other. It was farther asserted that this document was originally intended as a codicil to a will, which will he had ma d e previous to the date of 1843, and was, therefore, inserted, and that the testator was unable to leave his house, or otherwise transact business since 1843. The COURT in pronouncing judgment said, there was no proof of the publication of any subsequent document, beside the codicil became invalidated by the alteration of the month and year;without due attestation. It had also been proved that the testator had been unable to leave hi s house during the greater part of the year 1843, and under all the circumstances of the case, the Court felt bound to reject the motion for probate. In the case of the will of John Smith, a similar motion for probate was made, and, after hearing the learned advocates on both sides, was also rejected. Several other motions in which there appeared no points of general interest, were also disposed of during the morning. SHERIFFS' COURT. -(THIS DAY.) CHAMPION V. WOODGATE. This was an action for goods sold and delivered, in which the plaintiff is the landlord of the Kemble Tavern, Bow-street, and the defendant is an upholsterer in Sey mour -street, Somers -town. at ddeeaflei Mr.nn dealings sa C nw h t t m eha p l i el on de h a u n po d ot hneMrp, and ni W ndt Woodgate Some rs - town. a De l-d c t e h m aap h dp e ef r ar , said that he had an order for him, and he requested him to send some goods t o a Miss Stoa's,with whom ho (de fendant) had often had dealings. Plaintiff said that he could not credit a person whom he did not know, but if Mr. Woodgate would be answerable for the money he had no objection to credit him. Defendant replied that he bad dealings with Miss Stock to the amount of 301., and that he thought plaintiff would be safe in trusting her. He said also that he had 24, which he would pay on account. The goods were accordingly sent, and Miss Stock having sinner hon ,, m.) iliavlVent, plaintiff brought a.,uu. against Mr. Woodgate, to recover the sum of 5/. 55., balance of account. It was proved by papers put in in evidence, that Mr. Champion had paid Mr. Woodgate for a feather bed he had purchased of him, as late as June, 1844, and Mr. THOMAS, who appeared for defendant, said thatfif the debt had been between defendant and plaintiff, it would have been settled at that time, and that if Mr. Wood gate had intended to take upon himself the responsibility of this debt, an agreement to that effect should have been made in:writing. The SHERIF?, in summing up, said, that the point for the jury was, whether or not it was agreed between the par,ties either that the debt should be paid by defendant., if Miss Sto c k' f a il e d to pay i t, or t h a t d e f en d ant s h ould take the debtfupon himself unconditionally. An agree ment to pay ano th er person ' s d e bt, if they fail to p ay it, was not lawful, unless made in writing ; but if defendant agreed to pay the debt unconditionally, then be wa s liable, The jury found that the defendant was not liable. INSOLVENT COURT.—THIS DAY, Mr. Commissioner Pollock took his seat this morning to dispose of bail ca s e s and mo ti on s, of which th ere were only a few upon the list. IN RE HENRY GALWAY. This was an application on the part of the insolve n t , who was a surg e o n an d apot h ecary , practising in Ken sington, to be admitted to bail until the day appointed for his final hearing. It appeared by his schedule that the amount of his debts and liabilities was about 1,7001., and that he was entitled to the reversionary interest in certain freehold property in Berkshire, after the death of his wif e , which would more th an rea li se a sum sufficient to liquidate all his liabilities. 13ail having justified, the application was granted.' The Court then rose. The Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Harrovrby, Earl Talb ot , E arl of Dartmouth, Earl of Bradford, Viscount Sandon, the non. Colonel Howard, Sir J. and Lady Yardo Buller, and Mr. E. Buller, M.P., have con tributed largely to the fund for the erection of a new district church at Forsbrook and the adjacent village of Blythe Marie, Staffordshire, the church accommodation of that densely populated district in the Potteries being adly deficient, QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord PENMAN and a Middlesex Common Jury.) THOMAS V. LEY; AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought to test the validity of a bill of sale given by Mr. Sawyer, an attorney, to the plaintiff, who is also an attorney, conveying to the plain tiff Sawyer household furniture in his house at Herasey. The defendants were two judgment creditors of Sawyer, who had put executions into his house at Hornsey, where they were met by this bill of sale to Tho mas. The case for the plaintiff was proved by calling the attesting witness to the bill of sale, and by calling the plaintiffs son, who gave evidence as to cer tain pecuniary transactions between his father and Saw yer. On the cross-examination of young Mr. Thomas, however, it was elicited that Sawyer himself was in Court; that he had been subpoenaed by the plaiutiff, but that it was not intended to call him. Some strong observations were made on this circ umstance b y Mr. Watson, in his address to the jury, for the defendants. Lord DENMAII having summed up, the jury retired, and after a short absence, found a verdict for the de fendants. Mr. Platt conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Sergeant Jones appeared for the de fendants. COMMON PLEAS. —(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) The sittings after term commenced this day,,before Mr. Justice Cresawell and a Common Jury. ROBERTS V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS. This was an action for assault and trespass. The plaintiff is a widow, whose husband had carried on the business of a broker and furniture-dealer, in Wink worth-place, City-road. The husband died in October last year. In tho January following, two of the de fendants, Harding and another, applied for the rent due to the landlord, Mr. Taylor, up to that time, and not receiving it, made a formal seizure of the goods on the premises, but took no inventory. They then went away, and in a few days afterwards returned and took an in ventory, but again quitted possession. In some days further they returned and took away the furniture and some fixtures in a van. They also forcibly expelled the plaintiff and her daughter, and it was alleged by the plaintiff's witnesses, that in the scuffle one of the defen dants, Harding, bit the old woman in the arm. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Channel! appeared for the defence. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, in summing up, told the jury that the question of the legality of the distress must be reserved for the Court above, but still it would be neces sary for them to find the value of the goods, estimated by the plaintiff's witnesses at 301. They would also find what reasonable damages they might consider the plaintiff entitled to, if they believed that the defendant Harding so far forgot himself as to bite the poor woman, in the violence which the resistance offered might other wise excuse. The jury retired to consider their yerdict, and had no agreed when we went to press. BARROW v. FRANKLIN. The plaintiff in this case is a major in the army on half pay. The defendant is a cab proprietor, and was married to Major Barrow's niece, with whom he lived unhappily, so much so, that in the course of two years she left him, and took refuge with her uncle, who main tained her and her child until she obtained a divorce in the Consistory Court, with alimony of 501. a year. The plaintiff also lent her 201. to enable her to go into busi ness. For the expense of boarding the wife and child this action was brought. Witnesses for the plaintiff proved these facts, and the case was proceeding when we went to press. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) MOAT v. DRAMBELL. This was an action to recover damages for the breach of an engagement under an indenture of apprenticeship. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., and Mr. M. Smith appeared for the plaintiff, and the action was undefended. It appeared that the plaintiff in the action, who was a surgeon, became desirous of apprenticing his nephew, whose father was dead, to some business or profession. Accordingly, in August, 1842, he apprenticed him for a term of five years to the defendant, who carried on the business of a patent axle-tree maker, at No. 6, Allsop's buildings, Dover-road. During this time the de fendant was to teach, clothe, and feed the nephew of the plaintiff. Up to the month of December in the same year the youth was employed in a very humble department of the business, that of cutting boxes ; but at that time the business stopped, and until the follow ing March he was left without employment. In March of the following year the defendant commenced business at Poplar, and, in consequence, the apprentice resumed his work. He was engaged for seven months in carry ing heavy weights from Allsop's-buildings to Poplar. Some accident then befel him, and he was obliged to go to his uncle's to be cured. Communications having subsequently taken place between the plaintiff's solicitor and the defendant, as to the manner in which the ap prentice had been treated, the defendant confessed, in consequence of the state of his affairs, he was not able to teach him his business. On being asked to return a part of the premium, he said he was not in a condition to do so. Under these circumstances the plaintiff re-ap prenticed his nephew to an engineer, and paid a fresh premium of 80/. The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da magea 80Z, costs 40s. ----- LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY' LONDON, Nov. 26.--Wind N.Y., moderato b and hazy.

The public sales have consisted chiefly of 320 casks, 125 barrels ; St. Lucia ; 5,817 bags, 232 casks, Mauritius (chiefly of the new crop); 2,810 bags Bengal ; and 697 baskets Java. The St. Lucia, Mauritius, and Bengal, went off without spirit, and only part of the former sold at 536 6d to 61s for good brown to good bright yellow, being for the inferior sorts fully 6d cheaper. Nearly all the Mauritius and Bengal found buyers, the former at 55s to 67s 6d for low to very fine strong yellow, and low to fine brown 45s to 54s 6d, which are comparatively good prices, more par ticularly for the better descriptions ; the latter partly sold at 533 to 55s 6d for low to good mid yellow, but soft being at fully previous rates ; the remainder was taken in above the value. The Java sold briskly at 19s to 22s 6d for good brown to fine strong grey, which are extreme prices. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 1,136 hhds, 25 trcs, 117 brls, and there were taken for home consumption 1,107 hhds, 177 trcs, 431 brls.

RICE.-1,698 bags Java at auction was bought in at 10s to 103 6d for mid white, which is the former value, but at which there were no purchasers. SPICES.—Of 3,274 bags Pepper, at auction, only a small portion found buyers, at 2ed to 2-id for ord to good earthy ; Sumatra, and a f ew lots Malabar kind, at 2id, being for the inferior sorts rather cheaper ; good ord Batavia was taken in at 2/d.

ANOTHER FIRE AT SAXHAM.—On Tuesday night between nine and ten o'clock, a barn, full of barley, be longing to Mr. Cockerill, of Sexharn, was discovered to be on fire. The barn and its contents were destroyed, together with a cottage which stood within a few yards of it. A row of cottages (the residences of ten families) was con sidered to be so much in danger as to cause the inmates to quit them and remove their furniture, &c., which, in the hurry and confusion caused by the alarm, became so much broken, that the strewed about fragments, and trampled down gardens, rendered the scene truly dis tressing.—lpswich Eapress. HARROW ScHoor..—The election for the Head Mastership of Harrow School, which will be vacant at Christmas, takes place early in December, and the testi monials of the candidates are to be sent in on the 7th of the month. The choice rests with the six governors of the school, but, in the event of the numbers being even, the Archbishop of Canterbury has the casting vote. A subscription has been set on foot among the old Harrow men for the purpose of rebuilding the Head Master's boarding-house, which was destroyed by fi re a f ew years I back. It is proposed that the architecture of the new ' boarding-house should correspond with that of the I school, chapel, and private house of the Head Master , but that " The :Hall' should be rebuilt precisely 45 lc stood iu.
