OUR Friends, and all those who may have xo write to us, arc requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one enclosure doubles the Postage anly, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 201., or 30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS.

COUNTER REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL—DE FEAT OF THE QUEEN'S PARTY. A violent, but, we are happy to add, unsuccessful, attempt was made in Lisbon on the 3d and 4th inst., to abolish the Constitution of 1820. From what we have learned of this most foul conspiracy, it appears that the QUEEN—probably at the instigation of the Prince Royal—was at the bottom of it. DONNA MARIA, it seems, was not sincere in taking an oath to support the Constitution ; and she only waited a favourable opportunity to overthrow it, and re establish Don PEDno's charter. Her Most Faith ful (I) MAJESTY first sounded the Palace Guards, and finding that she could depend upon their devotion to her person, she proceeded to Belem, whither she summoned all the Members of the Cabinet. With the exception of Viscount SA DA BANDEIRO, the Minister of Finance, they all attended, and were equally surprised and indignant at finding that egress was refused them till the following morning; al though the guards declined to declare them detained under an order of arrest. On the 4th, at an early hour in the morning, it was announced to them by the Marquis of SALDANIIA, that the QUEEN had ordered their dismissal from office, and that a new Ministry had been formed. They were likewise given to understand that the first act of the newly appointed Cabinet would be the re-establishment of the Charter, and the total abrogation of the Constitution of 1820. An alarm of what was passing in the Palace soon spread like lightning through the City. The people were astonished, but their astonishment quickly gave way to rage. The National Guards flew to arms, and boldly invaded the Palace. The first hostile object that presented itself was Senor JOSE FREIRE, late Minister of Finance, who was hastening in his carriage to the Palace, to join the QUEEN. The guards fired, and the unhappy object of their wrath was instantly a corpse. Senor MANOEL DA SILVA PASSOS would have shared the same fate, but for the intrepidity and presence of mind displayed by the Marquis of SALDANIIA, who harangued the crowd, and afforded the Minister an opportunity to escape. Before three hours had elapsed the QUEEN was brought to her senses by finding that, her Guards had joined the Constitutionalists, and that in fact she was a prisoner in the. Palace. In her distress she sent to Lord HOWARD D E WALDEN, the British Minister, im ploring personal protection, which his Lordship pledged himself should he granted. Immediate orders were given for the landing of three•hundred marines, who were commanded to bold themselves in_ u r E e E a N dir i i l e o s : should their presence be requi red. The 0 was made sensible of her folly. she immediately or dered a flag of truce to be sent to the refractory Guards assembled at the Campo de Ourique, with orders to disperse peaceably and return to their homes. The bearer of this flag was spurned by the peo plc. Her MAJESTY then ordered a nother flag to advance, and to declare to the Guards, that she only sought such a modification of the Char ter as would sanction the establishment of a House of Peers, and that if they would but consent to hear the Marquis of SALDANIIA, he would explain to them her gracious intentions. The people were more incensed than before, and swore that the appearance of SALDANHA would be the signal for his death. The QUEEN, more and more alarmed, sent a third flag, to assure them that the QUEEN would restore to them the Constitution, subject to a proviso for the Peers sitting in the Chamber as Deputies, without the formality of an election ; and that an amnesty should be granted to all who had then declared themselves in favour of the Charter. The people answered that they consented to the amnesty ; but that they would listen to no other proposition so long as her MAJESTY was de fended by the presence of foreign troops. This THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1836 resolution the Q UE EN to give orders for the immediate re.-embarkment of the British Marines, and the sending of a fourth flag of . truce to the Constitutionalists, agreeing to tie solemn recognition of the Constitution, subject to such modifications as the Cortes might recommend, and likewise proffering to recal the Members of the Constitutional Cabinet. These offer.; Nvere received with loud acclamations. Mc people generously for gave the treachery which had all but deprived them o 1 their liberties, and cries of " Long live the QUEEN,' resounded in every direction. The castle guns of St George, and the vessels in the river, announced the resto. ration of tranquillity by a royal salute. In the evening the QUEEN left the Palace orßelem and returned to the Palace of Neccssidades, where she was received by the National Guards amid the most enthusiastic greetings. The whole city was illuminated, and the people assem bled in crowds to congratulate each other on the fortu nate issue of this second struggle for freedom. The tranquillity thus obtained .had not been dis. turbed up to the evening of the 7th inst.—the date o the latest dispatches brought by the Camden Packet which arrived at Falmouth on Monday last. The Diario do Govern() of the sth instant contains six Royal decrees, three of which appoint Senors BAN DEIRA, PAssos and EL DE CASTRO, the first Presi dent of the Council, and the others Ministers of the Interior, and of Grace and Justice. These appoint ments have given universal satisfaction. We trust the experiment which has been just made, will convince the QUEEN and her Consort that they must either reconcile themselves to live peaceably un der the Constitution, or quit Portugal. We have learned with considerable astonishment that the PRINCE ROYAL has adopted a line of conduct to wards the QUEEN which must, when generally known, 'greatly exasperate the nation and this, too, be cause he has been shorn of a "political influence which Her MAJESTY has no longer the power to confer upon him. We have reason to be lieve that events of this nature forced the QUEEN in an evil hour, to peril her Crown in the hope of re-assuring herself of the affection of her hus band. The PRINCE ROYAL, unfortunately, is a stranger to the feelings of the Portuguese nation, and his cold reserved manners have laid him open to considerable suspicion. It were better if foreigners interfered less in concerns personal to the people them selves, when they are not prepared to take part with the people. We certainly cannot compliment our Government on the feeling to which the appearance of our troops in Lisbon gave rise in the breasts of the inhabitants. England has been for some time sus pected of favouring a counter-revolution in Portugal ; and we regret to state that the conduct of our Ambas sador has converted that suspicion into certainty, as far as regards the people of Portugal. This, whether true or false, ; is equally unfortunate. Most unques tionably we are in favour of the Constitution ; and we trust that no Power, whether Foreign or Domestic, will succeed in wresting it from the people. Spain and Portugal must have the same form of Govern ment ; and, without a Constitution, neither of them can ever enjoy the blessings of civil liberty. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Monday. All that they contain of any importance will be found in another part of The Sun. The death of the ex-King of France, CHARLES was announced in Paris on Monday. His Majesty disci on the 6th inst. at Goritz, in Elyria. The Royal Exile, With hi.s family, lately removed from the Castle of Prague, much to the annoyance of the Austrian Government. On the 4th inst. the KING was in good health, and joined his family in celebrating the anniversary of St. Charles. The day following he was seized with a violent inflammation of the bowels, and in a few hours he was no more. The ceremonies usually observed at the death of a King of France were strictly observed by his faithful followers. CHARLES X. was in private life, an amiable, warm-hearted, well-disposed old man. Having led a very dissipated life when young, his later years were passed in acts of superstitious mortification, under the direction of his confessors. He constantly wore sack cloth or hair-cloth next his skin ; he fasted much ; prayed several times in the course of the day ; and frequently imposed upon himself, as a penance for some hasty expression, the remaining several hours without uttering a word. His gallantries and extravagance, when Count D'ARTois, gave great pain to his unfortunate brother, Louis XVI., and not less secret pleasure to that most consummate of hypocrites, the Count de PROVENCE, afterwards Louis XVIII., who always took care to profit by his indiscretions. His deposi tion by the French nation will for ever stamp his cha racter as a tyrant ; but we hesitate not to say that his successor is quite as great an enemy to freedom as ever he was. Louis PHILIPPE has done all that CHARLES X. lost his crown in attempting to do, simply because he better understood how to take ad vantage of popular excitement and popular credulity. CHARLES X. was a good man, but a bad sovereign. He was more devout than sagacious, and was ten times better read in the lives of saints than in the statutes and customs of his kingdom. Like Louis XV. his constant boast in private was, that he held his crown from GOD alone, and to Heaven only was he respon sible for his regal as well as for his private conduct. The brave men of July unsettled his MAJESTY'S convictions upon this point. They taught him that kings were made for the people—not the people for kings. When driven from France the Ex-King be thought himself of nothing but his own salvation, and the education of the young Duke DE BERRI. In the various intrigues carried on by the females of the exiled family he took no part. This was not un known to Louis PHILIPPE, who consequently wished that he might be treated with indulgence. While in Austria the Imperial Government charged itself with his guardianship as an act of friendship to France, and hence his movements were attended with consi derable anxiety to the EMPEROR. Had he died in 1831 France would have rejoiced at his death ; had he lived for five years longer, his countrymen might probably lament the infatuation which preferred to his sway the Government of the son of PHILIPPE EGALITE. —.OEB Mr. ENEAS MACDONNELL has addressed another s letter to the Times on the subject of, what he calls, Mr. O'CONNELL'S tergiversation and coalition with the present Ministry. How our Contemporary could have inserted such a communication, we cannot pos sibly conceive ; for, to say nothing- of its inherent and I unreadable dullness, there is actually not one single sentence in it that does not apply with infinitely more propriety to th e Times than to O'CONN ELL • Sub stitute but the one word for the other, and the appli cation is perfect. 'Tis an old saving, that the man who takes leave of honesty, takes leave also of co,n mon sense ; and on this principle only can we account for the singular circumstance of a long, prosy lecture on apostacy appearing in the columns of the lead ing postate of Europe. The gravamen of the Chelsea A twaddler's charge , against o'C oNNELL , i s , that he once abused the NI , lugs, and now praises them. Did our Contemporary never act in p rec i se l y th e same manne r towards die Tories ? Did he never abuse them in the choicest language that the Wapping voca bulary affords, and afterwards turn round and praise them with equal heartiness ? Did he never discover that Sir ROBERT PEEL was the smallest of all small statesmen ; and afterwards discover, at a mo ment's notice, that he was the author of a first- -----,• • pofflical lidzitufesto, which would " flourish tfitiangh all time, and be co-eval with eternity"— a remarkable figure of speech, ..hich, we remember, greatly affected us at the time ? Above all, did he never condemn the QUEEN—" the QUEEN has done it all"—for having turned out the MELBOURNE Mi nistry, and shortly afterwards praise the KING for that very same act of ejection ? We are surprised that our Contemporary, who cannot but entertain a vivid recol lection of all these little peculiarities, should have per mitted the insertion of a letter like that of MAC DONNELL'S, not one of whose hints about apostacy nut applies with ten times more force to the Times than to O'CONNELL. But even granting—though the hypothesis, we are aware, is an absurd one, for the Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny still advo cates the same principles that he advocated years ago—granting, we repeat, that the tergiversation has been the same in both instances, can it be cen surable in one, and yet commendable in the other ? Can Mr. O'CONNELL be blamed as an apostate, with out involving the Times in the same obloquy ? To our thinking, the letter of Mr. MACDONNELL is one of the most cruel attacks that our Contemporary has yet sustained ; for it puts his readers on their recollec tions, and compels them to feel the force of the irony which pervades its every allusion to apostacy and apos tates. " Mr. O'Connell," says his Chelsea TIIER SITES, " within four short days after uttering his de nunciations, became the apologist and confederate of these very Whigs whom he had so denounced; and they, with equal alacrity, placed themselves under his patron age, controul, and direction." How bitterly ironical is this passage ! Erase but the words " O'CONNELL" and " Whigs," and substitute in their stead " Times" and " Tories" and the charge will apply more literally and felicitously to our Contemporary, than any:charge at has ever yet been urged against him. ROLLS' COU►I{T.-(THIS DAY.) MILES V. CARNEY. This bill was filed by the plaintiff as the legal personal representative of his wife, who died in the year 1832. The plaintiff's wife became entitled to a share of the residuary estate of a person of the name of Harrison, to the amount of 5461., and the question was whether that sum was now due. The bill prayed that certain receipts which had been given might he declared to have been obtained by fraud, and without consideration, and that they might be delivered up to be cancelled. It was admitted the amount of the plaintiff's share of the residue was not paid in money ; but it was contended by the plaintiff that consideration was given for the share, by paying to the estate of Edward Bland Carney, the father of the plaintiff's wife, sums of money that became due for board and lodging. On the other hand, it was contended that Mr. Carney, immedi ately after the marriage of his daughter with the plaintiff, had requested his daughter to reside in his house, and take up her abode with him ; that after a shorsmatrimonial tour, Mr. and Mrs. Mills went and resided in the house of the father ; that during the time of their residence with him he made an allowance to his daughter ; and that under these cir cumstances, the father being well off in the world, it was ex tremely improbable he should charge his son-in-law with anything for board and lodging. The defendant stated, the parties went to reside with the father in 1828, con tinued to reside there till the death of the wife in 1832, and 150/. per annum, being the sum to be charged for board and lodging, the total amount to be charged would greatly exceed the amount of the residuary share of the plaintiff's wife. Mr. AGAR and Mr. BACON appeared in support of the Mr. PEMBERTOIi_and Mr. BETIIELL, for the defendant new Mr. AGAR replied. His Lordship the MAsTua of the RoLLs did not think it the least extraordinary that Mr. Carney should take from his son-in-law an annnal sum for his board and lodg ing, and at the same time make an allowance to his own child. There was nothing in this contrary to the habits of society. It appeared to his Lordship tie fraud alleged in the bill was not made out ; and that being the founda tion of the plaintiff's case, which had wholly failed, the bill must be dismissed, with costs. The Court then proceeded with the case of the Attor ney-General v. Lubbock, which was part heard. same terms ; and whatever was settled by the law on former occasions before the passing of the last Act was applicable in terms to the law which they had now to enquire into. He might also observe, that the law had been considered as perfectly settled, it having been acted upon for more than one hundred years by every portion of the legal and mer cantile world. The law upon the case had been settled by a case that came before this Court, of Broughton v. the Manchester Water Works, 38. and A, page 381. The only question therefore now to be considered was whether the law so understood and decided had been rightly under stood and decided. He submitted that the law was per fectly right, supposing it to be as it was held to be by the Judges in the Court of King's Bench, where the question was solemnly argued, and decided upon demurrer—a case upon which the opinion of a Court of Error might have been taken without great inconvenience or expense ; and yet the decision in which all the Judges concurred was ac quiesced in by the parties. However, setting aside this de cision, they were now to inquire into the law as if it were a 'king to be inquired into, and he would submit that 111 , ,aw was ri2;litly understood. The statute of the 3d and 4th of William IV., c. 98, sec. 14, provides that all the powers, authorities, privileges, and advantages given by former Acts of Parliament to the Bank of England shall be and the same are hereby continued in full force except so far as by this Act shall be otherwise directed. The Act of the 39th and 40th Geo. 111. c. 28, sec. 15, which was stated to be an Act to prevent any doubts that might arise respecting the privileges of exclusive banking, and also re garding the erection of other banks, went on to state— " and be it further enacted that it shall not be lawful for any bady corporate, exceeding the number of six persons, to take up any sums of money upon bills or notes payable on demand within a less time than six months after the same shall be drawn." This Act gave the Bank of England a power of exclusive banking, and the question was, whether under the provisions contained in the 3d and 4th of Wm. IV., the defendants, according to the sense of the Act, were in the situation of persons en titled to borrow, owe, or take up sums of money upon bills or notes payable upon demand within less than six months after date ? That the rights and privileges of the Bank of England remained, as far as the distance of 65 miles from London was concerned, was a prinCiple that was perfectly unimpaired, and it appears that the London and West minster Bank carry on their business in London, and that the town of St. Alban's was within the `distance of 65 miles. The consideration given by the Bank of England for the privileges conferred on them by Parliament showed that those privileges were considered to be of importance. The words of the different Acts conferred on the Bank of England the sole power and privilege of exclusive banking, and went on to state that it should not be lawful for any body corporate, erected or to be erected, to borrow, owe, or take up money upon bills payable in less than six months. He submitted that if they found two senses to these words, in one of which, however, they were wholly nugatory for the protection of the Bank of England, and which conferred nothing that could be called a sole privilege ; and in the other sense in which the words of the Act conferred something which effectually, and to a certain extent, protected the Bank of England—the latter was clearly the sense in which the Legislature intended to use the words. The words which he had referred to were found in the 6th of Anne, and in the whole series of subsequent Acts of Parliament. The [Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to refer to the various Acts of Parliament on this subject, from the sth of William and Mary, down to the Act 3d and 4th of William IV., and had not concluded when our reporter left. Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice PARKE and a Common Jury.) CLERKE V. MORRIS. This was an action on the case to recover compensation for injury sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the defendants' negligence in driving his cart on the night of the 19th June last. In appeared in evidence on the part of the plaintiff, that on the night in question he was driving in his gig along the road between Homerton and Bow,:and that coming in con tact with the defendant's chaise, which was going in an op posite direction, he (plaintiff) was upset. The shafts of the gig were broken, the harness cut, and the horse so injured that he died immediately afterwards. It was contended that the accident occurred in consequence of the defendant's negligence, and that he had received sufficient intimation of the plaintiff's approach. Mr. Sergeant SPAN KIE addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and called witnesses, who swore that his client was driving at the time of the occurrence at a mo derate pace, that the defendant was on the left side of the road, and that the accident arose from the plaintiff's own neglect.—Verdict for the plaintiff, 201. damages. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron BoLLAND.) ALLIES V. GILL AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff brought his action to recover the sum of 661., the balance of a year's salary, due to him as a tra veller to the defendants, who are woollen warehousemen. Mr. ERIE and Mr. BATT appeared for the plaintiff, and. contented themselves with shelving that the plaintiff was in the service of the defendants, and put in a letter from them, saying they agreed to his terms of 200/. per annum for three journies through the western counties—the re mainder of the time to be filled up by journies in other counties, as might be convenient. He shewed that the plaintiff was discharged before the expiry of the year for which, he contended, he was engaged. Mr. KELLY (with him Mr. Steer), addressed the Jury for the defendant. He complained of the c onduct of his Learned Friend in selecting one letter from a correspon dence, which if all put in, would have explained the whole of the case. Under these circumstances, it became his duty to lay the facts before them. In July, 1832, the plaintiff was recommended to the defendant as a tra veller, and went out two journies, which brought him up to about Christmas. There, before that, had been no contract between the parties. Some correspondence then passed between them, and it led to the letter which had been read by the other side. There was no doubt that the defendants were pleased with the exertions of the plaintiff, and agreed to the terms proposed by himself, that he should be paid 2001. per annum so long as he should remain in their service. By that contract they did not engage him for one year certain, but the letter was to be read that he was to be paid at the rate of two hundred pounds a-year so long_ as he remained in their employl; but he was to be bound by the custom of the trade, which was that all tra vellers could put an end to their contracts by giving one months' notice, and so could the employer. He would prove that that was the invariable practice, even when, as in this case, the hiring was at a certain sum per annum. The plaintiff went out another journey in the beginning of the year 1833, and then the defendant had reason to complain of the plaintiff. He sent up a number of orders, which it was impossible for them, with any safety or prudence, to execute. They made many bad debts by his orders ; and he entirely failed in obtaining any orders from the good houses in the to,vns through which he had passed. Again, they had reason to complain of a great loss of time on the part of the plaintiff. His horse had died, and lie remained at home for two weeks ; and he was much disturbed in his mind by the failure of another house for which he tra velled. The defendants complained of this, and the plain tiff excused himself by the above statement for a month's delay. The defendants, however, told him that they would not consider themselves liable for the salary for that month. The plaintiff was still out, and for ten weeks the whole of the orders sent up by him amounted to only 401., which was not quite the amount of the salary which he was drawing. They, therefore, wrote him, stating that travelling such as that would not pay them, and they accordingly gave him notice that it was their attention to give it up. The plaintiff,wrote in answer complaining of being turned off at a moment's notice, but not saying a word of his considering his engagement to be for a year. They wrote him again, desiring that they might be furnished with the plaintiff's ledger and balance sheet. He sent them, and in the accompanying letter he said he had charged for the time he was actually employed, and he left it to their liberality to put any further sum to his credit, which they thought proper. The account sent up left a balance of 291., in favour of the defendants, not one farthing, however, of which they ever got. When he put in all these letters which would be read to the Jury, he felt certain they would agree with him in saying that this was a mere after-thought, and that at the time he was aware he had no claim upon the defendants, who had treated him accrding to the custom of the city of London, which he would prove. When he proved all these facts, he felt certain to obtain their verdict. A number of letters were put in and read. Mr. Cook, who had been a traveller for Messrs. Leaf & Co., of Old Change, for fourteen years, and now employing four tra vellers himself ; Mr. Devas, of King-street, who travelled for four years, and now employed travellers on his own account ; said the regular custom and generally understood practice was, that all commercial travellers were liable to be discharged at a month's notice, and masters were obliged to accept the same from their travellers. All their expe rience was of travellers engaged in London and where the employers paid all the expenses. The defendant's counsel called many more tradesmen from the City to prove the s ystem of travellers' engage ments, the examination of whom had not closed when our -norter left. The Duke of Devonshire, with a select party, was performances at Madame Vestris's present to theto ig thew u j i t i n h e theiore last. KING'S BEIYCI4.---(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE SING V. THE INHABITANTS OF SANDHURST. .This was an appeal from an order of two Justices, for the removal of Benjamin Robertson and Sarah his wife, from the parish of Battle, in Kent, to the parish of Sand hurst, in Sussex. The Sessions confirmed the order of the Justices, subject to the opinion of the Court, upon a case stated, the substance of which was, that the pauper had been apprenticed to his uncle, a shoemaker, in the parish of Sandhurst, for seven years, and his master not having work enough, gave him permission, at the termination of five years, to engage for the two remaining years with a Mr. Thorpe of Battle, the pauper's father paying 5/. to Mr. Thorpe. The pauper subsequently became chargeable upon the parish of Battle, and was removed by order of two Justices to Sandhurst. The parish of Sandhurst ap pealed to the Sessions, who confirmed the order of the Justices. Mr. THESSIGER (with whom was Mr. Watson), in sup port of the order of Sessions, contended that this was clearly a defective contract of apprenticeship. If an ap prentice served without engaging himself for any definite time, the second master being cognizant of the fact of his being an apprentice, that would clearly be a service under the indentures. But where, as in the present case, the ap prentice engagea himself as if sui juris, without the Master being cognizant of the fact of his being an appren tice, no settlement was gained. The Learned Counsel cited a variety of cases in support of his argument. Mr. DERBY (with whom was Mr. Jones), was heard at considerable length on behalf of the appellant parish. The COURT, after conferring for some time together, said the cases which had been cited on either side, were of so conflicting a nature that they would feel it necessary to take some time to consider them.---Judgment deferred. Several other cases from the Crown Paper wero argued, but none of them were possessed of the slightest public interest. BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice' LITTLEDALE heard motions in this Cour his morning. WILLIAMS V. OWYNNE. Mr. RICHARDS showed cause against a rule to set aside proceedings in this cause, obtained on a former day by Mr. Chilton, on the ground that, previous to the trial, the plaintiff and defendant had entered into an agreement to refer all matters in dispute between them to arbitration ; and notwithstanding that agreement, the plaintiff's attorney proceeded to trial, and having obtained a verdict for his client, in the absence of the defendant, entered up judg ment, and issued execution thereon. Mr. Richards now stated, that from the affidavits handed to him, it appeared that although the plaintiff had signed an agreement, as stated, yet that he did so at a public-house while in a state of intoxication, and at the earnest solicitation of the de fendant and his friends, and contended that an agreement signed under such circumstances could not be binding ; and, further, that a reference to arbritration was, by a rule of Court made in the reign of Queen Anne, declared not to be a stay of proceedings, unless so expressed in a rule of reference made by the Court. On those grounds, and further on the ground that the application came too late, after judgment had been signed, and execution issued, he contended that the rule ought to be discharged. Mr. CHILTON, in support of the rule, argued that the mere fact of an agreement being s igned in a public-house would not invalidate it. It was a common thing, after an action at law had been commenced, for parties to settle their disputes amicably over a social glass. With regard to the alleged delay, the Court would recollect that he ap plied for the rule to stay proceedings on the first day of term ; and as to the rule of Queen Anne, it was only to be found in some old books of practice. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—I confess that I never heard of it. Mr. CHILTON—It is as scarce, my Lord, as a Queen Anne's farthing. After some further remarks, the Learned Counsel expressed his confidence that the Court would make the rule absolute. ' Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said as the question was one of considerable importance, he would take an opportunity of looking attentively at then ule of Queen Anne, quoted by Mr. Richards, before he gve his judgment. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY THE BANK OF ENGLAND V. ANDERSON AND OTHERS Mr. MAULS said that this was a case arising out o proceedings in the Court of Chancery, between the Gover nor and Company of the Bank of England and the defen dants, in the course of which proceedings the Master of the Rolls directed a case to be drawn up for the opinion of this Court, upon a certain point. The case stated that the London and Westminster Bank was a Company consisting of more than six persons ; that they had covenanted and agreed together to carry on their business in London ; that the defendants Were proprietors of shares in the said Bank ; that George Alfred Musgrave carried on the business of a banker at St. Alban's. which place was within 65 miles of London ; that he carried on the business on his own ac count, and was registered at the Stamp Office as sole pro prietor of the Bank of St. Alban's ; that he keeps a bank ing account with the London and Westminster Bank, and that they act as his agents, and receive and collect money for him ; that the Bank of St. Alban's had no connection whatever-with the London and Westminster Bank, except as aforesaid ; that in February, 1835, a person of the name of Robertson applied at the Bank of St. Alban's for a bill of exchange, payable in London, for 251., and that he re ceived the said bill, and gave 251. for the same ; that G. A. Musgrave drew icon the London and Westminster Bank. the bill of exchange, and delivered it to Robertson ; and that the following was a copy of the said bill : " 383. Bank Post Bill. Twenty-one days after date, pay to the order of Robertson the sum of 251., and place the samo to the account of the Bank of St. Alban's ;" that the sum in question was received by Robertson, on presenting the bill at the office of the London and Westminster Bank ; that the London and Westminster Bank did not pay f or the stamp of the said bill ; that the bill was accepted by them, &c. The question might be stated shortly as fol lows. It was, whether a number of per sons, carr y in g o n business as bankers in partnership, exceeding the numb er o f six persons, and within the limit of sixty-five miles of Lon don, might lawfully accept against money owing by them bills of exchange at a less date than six months ? He sub mitted that they could not lawfully do so, but that, on the contrary, in doing so they violated the privileges which the Bank of England possessed. The question certainly as ap peared by the anxiety of the Court of Chancery to take the opinion of this Court was considered as one of very great importance to the parties concerned and to the public ; as it was often observed, and indeed appeared by the Act of Parliament, that the privileges given to the Bank of England were not given merely for the sake of the proprietors, but also for the sake of guarding the public against an unsound circulation. He had to submit to the Court that this proceeding on the part of the London and Westminster Bank was illegal, and when he used the word illegal he meant in tonsequence of its being a violation of the 3d and 4th of Wm. IV. c. 98. He must here observe, that the last Act continued to the Bank the privileges conferred b 7 Acts p assed man y y ears ago they were all worded in the same terms, and were so considered, and settled by decided cases applicable tp thp title now under consideration, The enactments were stated in the THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

" CANTON, MAY 28.—Opium—Previous to the late ar rivals the Market in Bengal Opium was very inactive, and prices have since declined to 675 680 dollars for Patna, and 605 610 dollars for Benares, with little demand, and the prospect of a further reduction should the crop of Malwa prove large. The Malwa opium, on the contrary, has been taken off freely at 555 565 dollars ; the importation being mo derate, a continuance :of these prices must depend upon the next accounts of the probable supply.

A certain Noble Lord, whose attentions to the gentler sox have lately met with their reward, in his union with a fair widow, was, previously to that event, so assidu ous and enyresse in his suit, or rather suits, preferred in various quarters, as to have acquired from the ladies the sobriquet of the Solicitor-General.—Morning Paper.

RARA A vls.—A large fowl, of a species unknown to any in this quarter, was caught by a boy about three weeks ago in Glassnock Meadow, parish of Old Curtmock, its legs being so short that it was unable to rise except from an eminence. It has a long flat bill, thick short neck, measures five feet ten inches'from tip to tip of wings, and short legs, with web feet turned in. The boy received several wounds in his face while securing it. He took it to Benstone Smithy, where he sold it to Mr. Whitfield, con tractor lime work, Benstone. On its being opposed to a game cock, and having received several heels, it calmly caught the cock by the head, and was in the act of swal lowing it when it was prevented. It is now killed and stuffed. It is' supposed to be a species of the northern diver.—Scollish Paper.
