It is nosy some weeks since, in his manifesto, date, from Derrynane, Mr. O'CONNELL announced his pre ference of Federalism to simple Repeal, and yet, m to the present moment, not one single individual ha, come forward to tell us what Federalism really is— what are its character and tendencies, and what tht chief objects which it proposes to itself! Vague wordy intimations, indeed, have transpired from timt to time, from which we gatl.er that it is somethir4 like a grand jury legislature; but beyond this, nothing pwiiive—nothing definite seems to be known about it. and even the great legislator himself is forced ti confess that, to a considerable extent, he is the dark on the subject, It is curious to find s, wary and experienced a politician as Mr. O'CONNELL thus committing himself to the advocae} of a project, of whose exact merits he is, comparative] . ) speaking, uninformed ; and not less curious to fin( others vehemently opposing it who are in an equa state of ignorance. That Federalism is a proposal fo the institution of a limited, emasculated Irish Parlia ment, which is to work after a peculiar fashion of it, own, app .ars to be the utmost amount of knowledge that any one possesses of it ; and yet agitation on the sub ject of this mystery and marvel has been carried on quite as fiercely as if it were a well understood, well defined scheme, about which—as in the case of Repeal —there could nut be the slightest shadow of a doubt At the present moment the more active and stirring spirits of Ireland are divided into two parties—Fede ralists and Anti-Federalists, the former of whom are at a loss to say why they are Federalists, and the latter are Equally at a loss to say why they are not so ! The Belfast Viatlicator seems to be in this last pre dicament, and after condemning in no measure( terms the Federal scheme, is at length forced to con fess the awkward fact, that it knows nothing at al about the matter. " Where are the Federalists ?" asks our Irish Contemporary. "Again we say, when are they? During all the storms of our monster meetings, the cry was still, they come—the Fede ralists are on us ! We were reproached for our vio lence. Our songs were rank treason, and our pros( was lurking sedition. Can you not be prudent, i was said to us, and the Federal junction will takt place. Where is the Federal junction ? A great party, insinuated another wiseacre, a great party is somewhere or other being formed, and Mr SIIARMAN CRA.WFORD, and Lord CHARLEMONT , and, may be, the Duke of LEINST R, and hundreds of others of antique lineage and E g lr re o a a t personal cha racter, will break upon delighted England with a proposition. Wh n e d r , and astonish a i r n e they Where is the proposition ? Again and again pleasant men where is Federalism ? Many ingenious ga and men are daily employed in endeavouring to tell us a!bakii,,is, and by their varied accoun t s not hi ng can be - friore ‘ 4llTerent from itself at times—more strange, more 21 . 01'.0 ‘re changing, than this same bashful Federalism." Its bashfulness is, we suppose, its great recommendation with Irishmen, whose excessive cli7.l2nce is proverbial, for other wise it is impossible to understand why they should agitate, either for or against it, seeing that, as yet, it has no substantial, settled existence, and, in fact, is a mere chimera of Mr. GREY PORTER'S brain, to be shaped, and moulded, and fully developed, some day or other—but when, no one exactly knows. Tom THUMB, as we are assured by FIELDING, " made the giants first, and then he killed them ;" but the Irish Anti-Federalists are more in genious still, for they—with the Editor of the Nation at their head—are busily engaged in endeavouring to kill a giant who is not yet manufactured ! We have no objection, however, to all this extraordinary hubbub about a non-esistent crotchet. It serves to divert the mind of Ireland from the more serious agitation of Repeal, and, so far, is productive of good. Meanwhile, we await with some confidence, not unmingled with anxiety, the announcement of the remedial measures which, it is presumed, Sir ROBERT PEEL is now actively en gaged in concocting for the welfare of the sister country. If these be such, as, from the Premier's intimation towards the close of the last session, we have a right to hope that they will be, we shall hear little more either of Repeal or Federalism, both of which will have received their death-blow; but if they be not—if they be merely tame, imperfect, wishy-washy remedies, then we think it far from unlikely that a combination will be formed among all parties in Ireland—with the exception, perhaps, of the Orangemen of the old school—for the purpose of agitating in a determined, energetic spirit, the ticklish question of the restoration of the Irish Par liament. The recent defections of many members of the Church of England ordained ministers, some of them—to the Church of Rome, are a remarkable in dication of the danger that results from postponed reforms in institutions which are admitted to require amendment, by those, even, who most strenuously resist the adoption of any remedial treatment. Since the reigns of the last two STUARTS, under whom the principles of the Anglican Church and the disci pline of its clergy were subjects occasionally en forced upon public notice, and therefore matter of salutary discussion, notwithstanding the general laxity of morals which pervaded the whole aspect of society, from that period to the present time we have had a succession of polemical authorities— Bishops and divines of the Establishment, pious Non- Conformists, and (more lately) enthusiastic sectarian teachers, who have all concurred in denouncing the decay of earnestness, of zeal, of singleness of pur pose, of apostolical simplicity and disinterestedness in our clergy, and the growth of an indecorous and slovenly administration of the sacraments and cere monial of our Established form of worship. Yet tl. ° Establishment has drowsily nodded on, though occa ;ionally disturbed by such shocks as the imprison ment of the seven Bishops, or the High Church fac tion of SACHEVEREL, or the Anti-Popery cry of 1779, renewed at various subsequent intervals, as in 1793, 1807, and 1828. The last uneasiness she has experienced, owing to the matured growth and de velopment of the Tractarian heresy, does seem to have at last alarmed her. She apprehends—and with reason—that the "disturbing force" in this movement, must be of deeper seat and more formid abl.e intensity than that of which she has heretofore experienced the action ; and she has almost aroused herself to attempt, in good earnest, the serious in . vestigation of the causes that have engendered it. She may find the work too much for her, if she cannot rally all her energies for its accomplishment. Of the very children whom she has reared, there are, it seems, those who denounce her as a nuisanca ; who not only abjure, but reject and execrate, in the face of the world, the first elementary charter of her rights and authority; who anathematise Pro testantism by name ; and deplore, with wailing and in ashes, the mighty "Reformation" commenced by flusay VIII. in 1534, and completed by the recog nition and profession of ELIZABETH, at her accession in 1558. Foremost in the rank of these deserters ire—not the influential laymen (and yet they are not vo), who have leaped her pale and betaken them -elves !.o that of Romanism—but priests and deacons, alio have tJen ordained according to the tenor of her institutes; have expounded the Scriptures, according t, her rule of construction ; and habitually solemnised Divine worship in her churches, and according to her ritual. It is hard for her to be repudiated by those whom she has received into her bosOls and carefully nourished, and at parting has (in some instances) generously endowed. The course of their prolAeed-, 'rigs is, in truth, marked with the signs of origina, luplicity and ulterior falsehood. They set out with I pretence of effecting a sort of approximation of the &nglican to the Roman Church, in matters indifferent, with a view to the ultimate conciliation of the two great denominations of the Christian world. This was wisely projected. Any proposition for knitting and uniting together the hearts and affections and worship of all classes of Christian men in one great -piritual unity, is, akstractedly considered, calculated to enlist the attention—and, if proved, to realise the support, of an intelligent community. The first steps, too, openly taken in the same direction, were well judged. The prevailing laxity of discipline in the Establishment had been not only insisted upon Ind lamented by some of its Bishops, in charges to their, clergy, and in speeches delivered in the House if Lords ; but many Bills had been passed for its .!orrection, and the extension of the jurisdiction )f the diocesan in the repression of this evil, which the Legislature had been as often vainly called upon to pass. The Tractarians cleverly advocated a more ,trict adherence to the rubrical instructions contained in the Book of Common Prayer, in matters that re garded the rites of our Church and their administra ion. They instanced, at first, one or two ; and after wards, from time to time, advocated a similar ob servance of others ; but it was not until after the issue of a century of " tracts," and numberless con troversial pieces in answer to the various challenges these had excited, that the amount of their object was avowed, namely, to enforce conformity with the whole of the Rubric as incorporated into the au 7horised " Common Prayer" of 1548, with all its admixture—by implication—of doctrines—and—ex pressly—of ceremonials, including some of those most strenuously insisted on by the Church of Rome, Ind most distinctly renounced by the Reformed Church of England as superstitious, human, non- ssential, and inconsistent with the ptirity of its re formed doctrine. The controversy waxed "fast and furious," tilt at length the impetuosity of the Trac arians accomplished the repeated predictions of their antagonists. From simple dissentients or non-con tents, the latter have become (in the persons of some of their most eminent leaders) irreconcileable enemies of the former. They have gone over to the Church of Rome, renounced the ecclesiastical alle giance they had vowed to the Anglican Church, and following the rule of almost all bigoted proselytes they bid fair to become the most rancorous persecu tors of the fold which they should have guarded, but have quitted. For our own parts, having a sincere respect and affection for Protestantism, we are very sorry for what has occurred. But we cannot shut our eyes to he proof it affords of the variety of mere forms as lefensible outworks or securities for the substantive loctrines of religion. The moral of the case resolves tself into the terse apostrophe of Earl GREY to the Bench of Bishops. We must say to the Established Church at large, " Set your house in order." Let those who have the best means and most efficient authority for such a work, examine vigorously into the elements of her constitution, and the manner of their working; let them remove ex crescent bodies, which mar the action of the machine, Ind defeat its unity. Let them supply omissions and leficiencies, whilst they extirpate unseemly redun lancies. If the revenues of the Church be indeed (as 'ler enemies charge) so unequally divided, that the working parson, or his still harder worked curate, is in a vast proportion of cases scandalously under paid, and subjected to the most sordid evils of poverty, whilst he is upholding, by his example and preaching, the great truths he has been 'ailed to teach ; let the vastly over-paid Bishops (the .Bishop of LONDON knows we do not point Llandaff, or Rochester, or Bristol or Bangor, Bristol and Gloucester, or Oxford) _ ,tribute from th •ir enormous incomes and the fine A ccruing under ht it lif e i nterest in the sees they ho; 1 (17 funds propor tionally large towards the adequate payment of all the . THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING,' NOVEMBER 12, 1844. acting clergy of all orders. A Commission might I easily be organised to report on all cases re ported of inattention, or malfeasance, on the part of clergymen in any diocese ; and as to the difficulty engendered by the Rubric on account of the more or less strict degree in which its letters has been adhered to by pastors, the " Convocation" might be re-assem bled—or at any rate a council, consisting of the whole hierarchy of the Establishment, might be assembled—who, having regard to the forms now, and for many years past, observed in a majority of the churches of each diocese, should revise and finally settle this Rubric—adopting, we should hope, the fewest and the simplest forms, using the plainest language, and eschewing and rejecting the greatest possible number of genuflexions, and wax-taper homages, for this purpose. Madrid journals of the 4th have been received. On that day the trial of General PRIM commenced, before a court-martial composed of seven general officers, with General MA2zAREno, the Captain-General of Madrid, as President. The defence on the part of PRIM was read by General SHELLY, from a manu script drawn up by the two counsel. General SHELLY protested against the competence of the tribunal, but he protested in vain. The defence of the other pri soners were read, or rather attempted to be read, by officers of the Court, for it appears that one of them was so ignorant that he could not read in an intelli gible way, and one of the spectators was selected to perform that duty. The prisoners were all absent during these proceedings. After some deliberation the President announced that the Court did no con sider it had got sufficient evidence, and further proofs must be produced. The following account of a fresh execution at Bar celona appears in the Verdad of the sth : " This morning Antonio Sanjust suffered capital punishment in the glacis of the citadel for a crime com mitted last year at the time of the Centralist revolution. The military force was in full uniform, as well as the bloody brotherhood.' The greatest eclat was given to the execution." The Impartial of the same date says : —" Antonio Sanjust was the son of the unfortunate General of that name who fell at Malaga, in a public tumult. His grandfather fell in the same manner." The report that General ESPARTERO had left Lon don for Spain had caused some uneasiness to the Go vernment, and orders had been dispatched to all the authorities, both on the land and sea frontier, to use every exertion to prevent his entering the country. MADRID BOURSE, Nov. 4.—Three per Cents. fur Account, '271; Five per Cents. for Account, 201. A royal ordinance was published in the Paris Moniteur of Sunday, authorising the Minister of Finance to complete a loan of 200,000,000 francs by public competition. The sale and adjudication will take place on Monday, the 9th of December, on sealed tenders, and in one lot, to the highest bidder. The payment is to be effected in monthly sums of ten millions each, the first to be paid on the 23d De cember, 1844, and the last on the 7th of August, 1846. The ordinance and the conditions are given at length in another part of The Sun, under the proper head. " A sum of 300 millions (says the Moniteur) remained to be issued of the loan placed at the disposition of Government by the law of June 25, 1841 ; but the abundant resources of the Treasury do not permit to require more than two-thirds of the said sum, and the remaining one-third is to be applied to reduce a portion of the floating debt arising out of the receipts of the savings' banks. A law regulating the appli cation of the said one-third shall be proposed to the Chambers in the ensuing session." The same official journal contains another royal ordinance, appropri ating 1,800,000 f. (72,0001.) for the construction of an atmospheric railroad from Nanterre to the plain of St. Germains. The following deliberate falsehoods respecting the Governor of Gibraltar, Sir ROBERT \Viisox, appear in M. THIERS' paper, the Constitutionnel:—W hat justice can Englishmen expect from French Opposi tion journals, when we find a journal, representing -the political sentiments of an ex-Prime Minister, thus publishing such mischievous and unfounded statements ? " There is at Gibraltar a Governor generally known as a turbulent man, and above all, an enemy of the French, and whom a Ministry which sincerely wished to avoid anything that could annoy France, and to practise conscientiously the entente cordiale, would certainly have recalled from the commencement of our war with Mo rocco. Nothing of the kind has taken place. The British Cabinet has maintained its agent, and if no con flict has taken place owing to the meeting of the officers of our navy with those of the British navy at Gibraltar, it is certainly not Sir Robert Wilson we have to thank for it. All those who were in the Morocco expedition know that our naval men had mach to complain of with respect to the conduct of certain English officers, and es pecially that of the Governor. More than that, it is a certain fact, and now generally known, that at - qhralter one day, during the expedition to Morocco, Sir Robe' :did not hesitate to say to the Prince of Join ville, before % number of witnesses, that a general war was necessary, in • order that every party might get out of the false h e position in :7hich it was at present placed. He had even th -large upon and develope that text. Is not this singular lank. ale from the mouth of the agent of a friendly country ? - "ar is spoken of to e tone that the Prince representing France, in the sa- 4 j aw '. would ba taken in congratulating him on the goo,, ligence between the two countries, and its importance 1. the cause of the civilisation of the world. So public an incivility certainly reached the ears of the British Ca binet. But has Sir Robert Wilson been removed ? By no means. Has our Minister demanded his recal ? It is not at all probable, and we would rather believe that our Ministry has not dared to make the demand, than to suppose that Lord Aberdeen has not paid any attention to it. The King has been greatly welcomed, and harangued at Windsor, but the good wishes of the British Cabinet for the King, do not go the length of recalling an officer who pronounced uncivil words before his son. It was the guns of the same Sir Robert Wilson which lately sank the Spanish vessel the Rayo, and although al. Martinez de la Rosa has declared that he expected satisfaction for that savage act, be assured, that the satisfaction if it ever be accorded, shall not be accompanied by the recut of the Governor of Gibraltar.' We have also to complain of this journal for occa sionally misrepresenting, and willingly too, state ments which appear in The Sun. But the other day we published a paragraph from the Bombay Courier, announcing, with some bitterness, that a French ves sel of war had fired upon the Samarang, an English merchant vessel. The offensive remarks are imputed to The Sun, while we distinctly gave our authority— namely the Bombay Courier. Of a piece with the attack on Sir ROBERT WILSON is the following, made by the National on Mr.PETBER,- STONIIAUGII, the new British Consul at Havre : " Not only are we ill informed in France of what passes abroad, but we are often unacquainted with facts that concern us at home. It is thus that no one has re marked a recent appointment at Havre. The choice of Lord Aberdeen is, however, very significatory, and if M. Guizot was not the organ of English interests in the Cabinet, he ought, without doubt, have refused the extquator to the parson just sent us by our neighbours. Fetherstonhaugh is nothing more or less than the worthy rival of that Turnbull who is so well remem bered at Cuba. He has been placed at Havre only to watch our commerce, and to seek, in the outfit of our ships, some indications which may justify a visit of the right of search to our shipping. Has not this gentleman many claims on the abolitionist society of London ? Is he not author of a journey among the slave holding states of America ? The installation of Mr. Featherstonhaugh at Havre is easily accounted for. There our coasts are watched from Brest to Bayonne, by agents more or less recommended to the French Government.' A good deal of business was done at TORTONI . S on Sunday, in consequence of the announcement in the Itloniteur respecting the loan. The Three per Cents. were done at 82f. 55c. to 82f. 65c. for the next settle ment, and for the end of December 83f. 50c. was asked. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The following late intelli gence was received here this morning :—" Lima, August 19.—Vivanca has been defeated, and having been brought prisoner to this city, was bani,•hed to Mexico by the Constitutional Council which governs the city. General Castello has taken possession of Arequipa, and is now advancing upon this city. It is supposed that the Council will not oppose his au thority here." INCENDIARISM AT ST. NEOTS.—The inhabitants of St. Neots were greatly alarmed by the sight of a fire at the back of the Cross Keys Inn, in the occu pation of Mrs. Arnold. The vile hand chose a wheat-cock for his base purpose, which was quickly one mass of flame, and was soon consumed. Another, containing fifty loads of wheat, caught fire, but through the exertions of the neighbours, and the good feeling evinced by the lower classes, part was saved, a smart rain continuing all the time. The St. Neots engine, although not 200 yards from the conflagration, was not at work for half an hour after the event, the key of the engine-house not being obtained. Mrs. A. has the same labourers em ployed as at all times, having made no change, nor has she for thirty years used a thrashing-machine ; there fore no clue at present can be obtained to the perpetrator of so diabolical an act. The best of order and good feeling was shown by every one present, as the whole town was in danger from the position of the wind and situation of the premises. We are happy to announce that Mrs. A. is insured in the Norwich Union.—Cum bridge Chronicle. SUMMARY OF NEWS 411:41-.) atitt (9ptnton. " Who runs may read." 702.EXG7V.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this oase, which was argued some time since before his Lord ship, upon an application to discharge an order pro nounced by his Honour the Vice Chancellor of England. The following are the short facts: upon which the case Caine before the Court :—On the death of the late Sir Bethell Codrington, a judgment creditor for the sum of 4,0001. brought an action of Ecire facias against his ex ecutors. To that action the executors pleaded plena administravit, and then 'filed their bill in this . Court for the purpose of obtaining an injunction to restrain the proceedings in the action. A motion was made for that purpose, and an injunction was granted by the Vice-Chancellor. Upon this the defendant applied to this branch of the Court to discharge that order. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that there had been no !aches or delay on the part of the executors, and such being the case, he felt bound to dismiss the motion for the discharge of the Vice-Chancellor's order, with costs. His LORDSHIP then proceeded to hear appeals ; but nothing of any importance came before the Court during the morning. ing a very lengthened period, and presented perhaps the most singular features ever witnessed in any suit in the Ecclesiastical Courts. The Queen's Advocate appeared on behalf of Mr. Clowes, and Dr. Adams fir Mrs. Clowes. A mass of affidavits were read on both sides, for the purpose of first supporting an application on behalf of Mrs. Harriet Clowes for a restitution of conjugal rights by her husband, Mr. Edward Clowes, the sun of Mr. Clowes, the well-known and extensive printer, which ap plication was met on the part of the husband with a charge of adultery against the wife, in consequence of which he claimed exemption from the discharge of any conjugal obligations. Such was the aspect under which the case now came before the Court, but circumstances superinducing this allegation and counter-allegation spread over a period of nearly five years. The following is a brief statement of all the main facts of the case as stated in' the affidavits : It appeared, that in the early part of the year 1840 Mrs. Clowes, then Miss Harriet Jones, was an inmate of a boarding school, and an intimacy arose between them, the result of which was, that Miss Jones declared her self to be pregnant by Mr. Clowes, and he, after sonic hesitation, eventually consented to marry her. The husband alleged that she had contracted this marriage with him under a false impression, she being at the time about seventeen years of age, and he twenty-five years. During the time that Mrs. Clowes was residing at Ken nington, in the year 1841, she one day, during the tem porary absence of Mr. Clowes from home, had the infant, child of a peasant in South Wales brought to her, and upon his return she informed him that during his absence she had been confined of a fine male infant; showing him at the same time the child, which she was obliged to have procured under the circum stances first stated. They lived together after that event until the month of February, 1842, when he received certain information which induced him to suddenly leave Mrs. Clowes, who although she frequently made in quiries at both:the private house and business premises of her husband's father, could receive no other information than that he had gone abroad, and was not likely to re turn. For a short time after the departure of her hus band, his father paid her a small weekly allowance, which he soon, however, withdrew. The family of Mr. Clowes then, through the agency of the police, tried to gain sufficient legal evidence upon which to obtain a divorce. A suit was instituted in the Consistory Court for this purpose the merits of which rested chiefly upon Mrs. Clowes having got married in a false name, but the Court decided that the allegation had not bean fully proved, and refused the application. As soon as this case (which occupied the Court for nearly two years) was decided, Mrs. Clowes instituted the present suit for the restoration of conjugal rights which was met in bar with a counter-allegation, that the promoter of the suit had been guilty of adultery. The voluminous affidavits on the part of Mrs. Clowes, after denying the allegations with reFpect to procuring the child by fraud, stated that all those circumstances upon which her husband had sought to found the charge of adultery had been forced upon her by the fact of hav ing been abandoned by her husband and his family and left in a state of utter destitution. One case may be men tioned. She was compelled to advertise for a situation, when she was engaged as an attendant in a shop in the . Strand, and upon going to the person who engaged her to take her in the evening to the premises, instead of doing so he placed her in a hackney-coach and caused her to be driven to a house of ill-fame in Gloucester-place. A mass of documentary evidence was put in to sup port the allegation of adultery against Mrs. Clowes, most of which was unfit for publication. The last affi davit stated that Mr. Clowes was quite dependent upon his father for support, and had not one penny of private property in his own right. The Learned ADVOCATE having been heard on the technical points of the case on each side, The further consideration of the suit was ordered to be adjourned. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SALMON V. BAILEY. This was an action for an assault and for the injury done to the character of the plaintiff, by a false accusa tion of an attempt to pass false coin. Mr. Bailey, the defendant, is a butcher, residing in Tottenham-c3urt-road ; and Mr. Salmon is a coach maker, in the same neighbourhood. Martha Heed deposed that on Saturday, 28th Sep tember, she accompanied Mrs. Salmon to market. That they entered a public-house together in order to obtain change of a sovereign. They afterwards went into de • fendant's shop for the purpose of purchasing meat. Mrs. Salmon bought meat to the value of 2s. lid. and gave Mrs. Bailey the sum of two shillings and sixpence. Having left the shop without her change, she returned to obtain it, when Mrs. Bailey, who had taken the money, did not deny that she had neglected to give plaintiff the change, but asserted that the sixpence was a bad one. Witness said that :t was not a bad sixpence, and that the coin produced was not that which plaintiff had given ; she knew that from the fact that the money which Mrs. Bailey . produced was black, and that given to the plaintiff was not. Mrs. Bailey referred to her husband, who said that the money was bad, and, after a great deal of altercation, turned the plaintiff and the witness out of the shop, and thrust the former out with such force, that if she had not been caught by a by stander she would have fallen in the kennel. He afterwards seized upon her violently, and shook her in such a manner that she feared she would lose some money which she had in her hand, and, when she persisted in asking for her change, he gave her in charge for attempting to pass bad money. The policeman. E 98, deposed to having taken plain tiff into custody, and to defendant sending a message to the station-house to the effect that he did not wish to press the charge, upon which plaintiff was liberated. Mr. BALLANTI NE addressed the jury at great length, setting forth several circumstances in mitigation He said that it could not be denied that defendant had acted very hastily, but he thought the jury need nut give more than nominal damages, as there were several circumstances which seemed to support the charge against plaintiff, although no one could for an instant suspect her or her friend, after hearing the whole of the circumstances. The jury found for plaintiff, with 5/. damages. There were this morning several other cases, but of no importance. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GouLntnix.) IN RE HENRY CATON, BUTCHER, HATFIELD, The insolvent applied for his interim order, but was opposed by Mr. Bagley, on the part of several creditors, and on the ground that the case was out of the jurisdic tion of the Court, the insolvent having been a trader, and the debts upwards of 300/. The schedule, however, exhibited only debts to the amount of 2841. The insol vent had, it appeared, compounded with his creditors in 1843, and the composition had been paid up, in full of all claims. But afterwards it appeared that, through igno• ranee, the insolvent had entered many of those persons on his present schedule. He was therefore ordered to amend and exhibit it to his creditors, before coming up fur his final order. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE GEORGE FIELDING, OF THAME, OXFORD. The bankrupt, an ironmonger, in extensive business, was opposed by Mr. Edwin James, for the assigr.ees, on the ground that the accounts were not properly rendered. His HoNoun adjourned the further hearing, but or dered that the solicitor to the assignees should furnish the bankrupt's accountant with a written notice of what they required in good time before next examination. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) DISORDERLY PAUPERS.—Three young women, named Turner, Elliott, and Knott, were charged with riotous conduct iu the Marylebone Workhouse. Mr. James Jones, the master of the workhouse, stated that about eight o'clock last night ho was told that the defendants were burning something. He proceeded to the females' ward and saw them burning the stuffing of their beds. They had broken up some of the furniture in the ward and were burning portions of it. Elliott threw the burning embers about and exclaimed " We will burn all the old devils (meaning the inmates) in their beds." _ _ They were committed for twenty-one days. Two other girls, named Penfold and Sexton, were also ckarged with riotous conduct in the workhouse. Mr. Jones stated, that when he was giving the above named females in charge, last night, the pri s9ners obtained a ladle, and Sexton smashed twelve squares of glass with it, and Penfold four squares. They were committed for six weeks, the extended period under the amended Poor-law Act. SAVINGS' BANKS.—It is believed that some parties well conditioned in life have invested money in more than one savings' bank, and which they know is con trary to the law. We believe a very strict eye will now be kept upon depositors, and if any are discovered having investments in more than one bank for savings, they will have no cause to complain in having to forfeit their money. These are the parties who ought not to have deposited in those institutions, which were established for the humble classes, and it is a great discredit to those who have committed the abuses they have done. We know of one savings' bank where the trustees and ma nagers intend, after the 20th of the present month, to give those parties who ought not to have deposited a notice to withdraw their investments. Very proper discontent is already manifesting itself (as was expected would be the case), in consequence of the reduction of interest, which is to take place after the 20th instant. THE ITALIAN OPERA AT PARIS.—M. Fatel, the manager of the Paris Italian Opera, is placed in an awk ward predicament by Victor Hugo's persistance in in terdicting the performance of Lucrezia Borgia and Ernani, at Les Italiens ; and the author of Norma has also for bidden the directeur to represent his opera. M. Fatel is at the same time involved in law proceedings with the well-known composer Conradin Kreutzer, which creates much attention at the present moment in the Parisian musical circles. The litigation is owing to an agree ment having been entered into between the manager and composer, to the effect that Kreutzer's opera, Une Nuit a Grenade, was to be represented at the Paris Italian Opera this season. The parts being destined for Mdlle. Nissen, Mario, and Ronconi, which were subsequently changed by mutual consent, to be sung by Mario, Fer nasari, and Mad. Persiani. The opera is now in re hearsal, but M. Fatel has allotted the characters to Corelli, Fornasari, and Mdlle. Manara, to which M. Kreutzer objects, and has consequently brought the matter before the Tribunal of Commerce of La Seine. The example set by Sir Harry Verney, in allowin g his tenants to shoot over their respective farms, is the theme of conversation in all companies. The farmers' tables ring with praises to Sir Harry. None rejoice more than the Duke of Buckingham's tenants, because none are greater sufferers than they are, from the de struction they yearly witness and feel done themselves by the enormous abundance of game. No person unae• quainted with a nobleman's preserves can form any idea of the injury hares and partridges do the whole country. —Aylesbury News. ILdi.V7 AND POLICIL The late wills forgeries became the subject of dis cussion yesterday in the Rolls Court, on the application of the Rev. Peter Joliffe, the representative of Mary Hunt, deceased. The petition set forth that the Com missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt had wrongfully paid to one William Saunders certain sums of money, the property of the petitioner, as representative of Mary Hunt, and prayed that the Commis=ioners might be ordered to refund the same. His Lordship having heard the arguments on both sides, reserved his decision. The Court of Exchequer granted a rule nisi for a new trial in the case of Russell v. Ledsam, which related to the validity of a patent for welding iron tubes. Dr. Lusl.ington gave judgment in the case of Stone v. Stone in the Consistory Court. This disgusting case has been often before the public. In his judgment the Learned Judge acquitted Mr. Stone of the charges of adultery and condination w!iieh had been brought against him, and pronounce] for the divorce. At the Mansion-house the new Lord Mayor com menced the justice-room proceedings of the Mayoralty, and inflicted a fine of 100/. on Edward John Phillipps, licensed victualler, of 41, King-street, Snow-hill, for smuggling brandy. George Brown was brought up at Guildhall on suspi cion of stealing a gold pin from the shop of Mr. Hayes, a general salesman in Farringdon-street, on the 6th inst. The prix nor had been remanded from the previous day, and it appeared that the gaoler had conveyed for him the following letter to a woman residing in Field-lane : " Dear mother—l am remanded till Monday on a charge of stealing a gold pin." The gaoler stated that he had shown the paper to the policeman, who had expressed no objection. Sir John Pixie said this matter should be thoroughly sifted in another place, and he remanded the prisoner till Saturday. A man named Morgan was fined 31. at Clerkenwell, for indecently assaulting two females in the street, arid a warrant was granted for the apprehension of his com panion, a Mr. Simpson. George Burr, Joseph Barnard, and Robert Read, three reputed thieves, charged with being found, under suspi cious circumstances, in a vault belonging to some un finished buildings near Loundes-square, Knightsbridge, were committed fur six weeks from Queen-square. At Wandsworth, Edward Garrett, a conductor to one of the Tooting omnibuses, charged with committing a fraud by altering the figures ls. ld., marked as the car riage paid for a parcel on a railway ticket, to 2s. 2d., was fully committed for trial. COVET —FASECIONAMON The Earl of Besborough is nearly recovered from the effects of his recent accident. A select family circle is assembled at Besborough House. The Earl and Countess of Enniskillen have arrived at Tarporlv Park, Cheshire, from Florence Court, the Noble Earl's seat in the county Fermanagh. Lord and Lady Farnham and Baroness Le Despencer have left their seat in Ireland, and are shortly expected at Mivart's Hotel.

Viscount and Viscountess Villiers intend to give a hunt breakfast on Friday next, at Upton house, to the noblemen and gentlemen hunting with the Warwick shire hounds, which fine pack is appointed to meet there that day. The Earl and Countess of Limerick are passing the autumn at South Hill Park. We regret to state that the health of the Noble Lord is not in so satisfactory a state as could be wished. The Viscountess Glentworth, Sir Henry and Lady Frances Calder, Count I. and Lady Cecil De is Feld, Mr. and Lady Caroline Russell, and the Hon. Mr. Pery, have recently paid visits to the Earl and Countess. The Hon. Mrs. Pery, relict of the late Mr. Pery, who receently died in India, has arrived in England from the East. Sir Hyde Parker has sailed in his yacht from Cowes, for Gibraltar. lie intends to cruise in the Mediterra nean, and purposes to visit Naples, Malta, and Constan tinople until the spring of n ext year.

The remains of the late Artl t iir Gloster, who was so wantonly murdered last week near Limerick, were in terred in the family burial place on Thursday, in St. Manchin's church, in that city. The melancholy event, says the Limerick Chronicle, brought together a number of relatives arid friends, besides many respectable indi viduals, some of them personally unknown to the unfor tunate gentleman, but who attended the funeral to mark their horror and detestation of the atrocious deed which cor.a . gi ed th , s ni of an old and resift etable citizen to an untimely grave. The State apartments, Windsor Castle, which were closed some time previous to the visit of Louis Philippe, will be re-opened to the public on Wednesday next. The High Sheriff of Carlow county has convened a meeting for Tuesday next to consider the best means of continuing the line of railway from Carlow to Kil kenny. The Irish Reform Ciub, in Dawson-street, will be opened on the 16th inst. The Marquis of Abercorn is appointed Lieutenant of Donegal county, in room of the late Marquis of Donegal. An alarming fall has taken place at Berlin in the prices of German railway shares. Large sales had oc casioned a sensible decline on former values, and as it was clear that the holders generally were disposed to sell, it was held to be impossible to foresee to what point of depression the market might go. Railway properties were altogether in disfavour, and the commercial stocks began to be infected with the popular disgust attaching to such interests. Balfe's chef d'oeuvre, the Bohenzian Girl is to be per formed for the hundredth time to-night at Drury Lane. This, we believe, is the first time that any opera entirely the work of a native composer has had such a run, and the admirers of Mr. Balfe's genius intend to commemo rate the event by presenting him with a handsome ser vice of plate. The Birkenhead Dock Company have given notice to the corporation of Liverpool that it is their intention to pay cash for the property purchased by them at Vs allasea Pool, taking up the lea-es forthwith, instead of accepting the stipulated credit. The amount is about 300,0001. In consequence of the recent outrage at Mr. Worth ington's, at Mancetter, Mr. W. S. Dugdale, M.P., con vened a meeting of magist rates, when it was unanimously agreed that a communication should be forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, signed by all the magistrates, soliciting the Government to offer a reward of an additional 100/, with her Majesty's free pardon to either of the parties who will impeach his ac complices. A letter from Sir J. Graham to Mr. Dugdale was received on Thursday last, granting the request of the magistrates, and offering a reward of 1001., in addi tion to the 100/. previously cffered by Mr. Worthington, for the discovery and conviction of the burglars. It h tying been represented to the Board of Customs that the officers at the several steam-boat baggage ware homes have almost invariably omitted to record the dimensions of pictures and of plate-glass, and that un official books and loose papers only have been used in the recording the landing of such articles; it has been ordered that the officers do in future insert the dimen sions of all pictures and plate-glass in proper official books. There is a report in the musical circles that Tamburini is to form part of the company of her Majesty's Theatre in the ensuing season. Fornasari, up to last week, was not engaged for that establishment. MR. SERGEANT ANDREWS.—In answer to inquiries at the Learned Sergeant's house yesterday, it was stated that he waS rather improved, but that all the dangerous symptoms had not disappeared. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ExcasAND.) In consequence of the absence of Mr. Stuart, his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England rose before twelve o'clock, finding it impossible to proceed with the causes in his paper in the Learned Gentleman's absence. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIORAM.) TIIE ATT )RNEY-GENERAL V. FLINT. In this case an information had been filed, the object of which was to obtain an.account of certain rents from the defendants to the relators, the feoffees of Strenchatn's Charity, at St. Dunstan's, in the city of Canterbury. The defendants, on their part, claim as purchasers, and the principal point at issue is the validity of that purchase. Mr. COOPER, on the part of the relators, resumed his argument in opening the case, which, as he went at great length into the facts, and the legal points connected with them, occupied the Court the remainder of the sitting. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir K. BRUCE.) AIALINS V. PRICE. His HoNouu, on taking his seat this morning, pro ceeded to arrange with Mr. K. Parker, Mr. Temple, and Mr. Russell, the counsel in the case, the minutes and terms of the decree, which occupied the greater part of the morning. After which he took the case of CU3I,INII V. THROWER. This is a part-heard case, in which the object of the bill is to obtain restitution of certain funds, alleged to have been lost in consequence of a breach of trust, committed Mr. Bland. The counsel in the case are Mr. Russell and Mr. Speed, for the plaintiff; Mr. Wigram, Mr. Wray, and Mr. Cole, for the defendants. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the special paper to-day, and were en gaged the whole morning in listening to arguments re lating to mere technical points of pleading. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr: Jastiee PATTESON. ) EICPA RTE BLUNDELL. Mr. COWLING in this case moved for a rule for a cer tiorari to bring up the inquest and depositions taken before the coroner of Wigan,, with a view to their being quashed. It appeared that an inquisition was held on the 7th and 9th of August last, on the body of Michael Ashcroft, who had been killed in consequence of the bursting of a steam-boiler belonging to Mr. Blundell, before Mr. Rogerson, thc. coroner of Wigan, in the county of Lan c'ister, and " good and lawful men of the said county, duly chosen." The first objection to the inquest was, that it did not appear from those words that the jury came from the bDrough. A coroner's inquest was in the nature of an indictment, and ought to comprise equal certainty, and should therefore show that the jury came from a place within which the coroner had jurisdiction. The second objection to the inquest was, that it found a deodand of 130 i upon a certain boiler, because it killed M. Ashcroft. Now, it appeared that Ashcroft was only six years and three months old, and therefore only an infant. and it was extremely doubtful whether there could be a deodand where the person killed was under fourteen years of age. The third objection was, that it did not state with sufficient certainty how he came by his death. It was clear that he came by his death in consequence of the explo sion of the boiler, but it did not say whether he was killed by the steam, or whether he was blown up or killed by the fragments, or in what way it was he was killed. For the uncertainty on this ground also he c,n tended the inquest was bad. The fourth objection was, that there was a departure from the ordinary form in the finding of the jury in this case. They state that M. Ashcroft came by his death in consequence of the bursting, exploding, and blowing up of a boiler ; but they did not state that the boiler moved to the death. lie would also contend that there - could not be a deodand in a case of this kind. There could not be a deodand on a fixture, and the boJer was a fixture. There might be a deodand on the fragments, but not on the boiler. In the case of a person killed by a cannon-ball at a consi derable distance from the cannon, the deodand should be levied on the ball, and not on the cannon. Mr. Justice PATTESON —Suppose the boiler burst, and the person killed by the steam, you would contend that the deodand should he levied on the steam.—(Laughter.) Mr. COWLING —There could in fact he no deodand. There were other objections, but he thought he had stated enGugh to entitle him to a rule.—Rule nisi granted. IN TUE MATTER OF JOHN HOWARD. Mr. ConnETT in this case moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of John Howard, now con fined in the New Bailey prison, Salford, on the ground that the warrant of commitment was bad on the face of it. It appeared that this person was committed under the 4th Geo. IV., for leaving his service, and the objec tion was, that it did not appear there was any complaint made by the person with whom Howard entered into a contract, nor did it appear that there was any contract at all entered into with that person. There were other objections also, but those were the principal ones. Application granted. THE QUEEN V. THREE. OF THE BURGESSES OF TREGONY. Mr. Smiatcr. in this case moved for a rule for an at tachment against three of the capital burgesses of Tre gony for not complying with the order of the Court. It appeared that a mandamus was directed to the burgesses to elect a mayor, and there were only eight burgesses altogether, and but four of these assembled in com pliance with the order of the Court to elect a mayor; but this number was not sufficient. The object of the pre gent application was to compel the three persons who did not attend (the fourth being of unsound mind, was not included in the application) to comply with the order of The affidavit on which the appli ca ti on was i wilfull • . y absented themselves. —Rule -;ni ng awa y, an d t h at the y the uk.,. - the deponent believed those p ersons h a d m no ad v ea,lisd cause L" s eo; remu-- EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

Shortly after ten o'clock Lord Denman, Lord Chief Justice Tindal, the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Baron Gurney, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Baron Rolfe, and Mr. Justice Cresswell, entered the Court to arrange the days for taking writs of error. The days appointed were— Queen's Bench, Tuesday (the 26th) and Wednesday (the 271 h) ; and Common Pleas and Exchequer, on the usual days in Hilary Term. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) METCALF'S V. BUSBY. The defendant was a tradesmrn at Romford, in Essex, and having fallen into difficulties, he called a meeting of his creditors, at which an arrangement was agreed to by the creditors above the amount of 501. The plaintiff, a wholesale grocer in London (as we and rstood the case), was not present, but being subsequently applied to on the part of the defendant, they said they would do what ever Sir Chapman Marshall and the other creditors would do. A deed was then drawn up and signed by the defendant and a majority of his creditors, by which the former gave up his property to satisfy his debts, and the creditors, in accepting the assignment, consented to leave him in possession of a portion of the stock and household furniture, to enable him to continue in busi ness. The plaintiff did not sign that deed, but on the contrary put in an execution upon . the goods retained by the defendant, and brought this action for the balance of their claim above the amount produced by the property seized in execution. The jury found for the defendant, being of opinion that the pl a i n tiff s h a d b oun d th emse l ves with the other creditors, when they stated that they would do whatever Sir Chapman Marshall and the other creditors would do. Mr. Sergeant SHEA obtained last term a rule to show cause why the verdict should not lie set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground that there had not been such evidence of consent as could bind the plaintiffs with the other creditors in the agreement and subsequent deed. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD this day showed cause against the rule, relying upon numerous cases to which he re ferred, in which such consent as had been proved at the trial to have been given by the plaintiffs to the defend ant's agent was held to be binding. Mr. Sergeant SHEA, in support of the rule, contended that the agreement ultimately come to by the creditors, who were parties to the deed of assignment, did not come within the terms of the consent alleged to have been given by the plaintiffs ; for it was clear that by the words " the other creditors" they meant all the other creditors. The agreement. however, was concurred in only by a majority of creditors of one class, that is, of those whose debts amounted to more than 501. Besides it had been shown that the person who called upon the plaintiffs was not an authorised agent employed by the defendant, but an accountant who took up the matter officiously, and the conversation with him appeared not to be regarded by the plaintiffs as having a definitive or binding character. The COURT considered that there were grounds for a rehearing of the case, and made the rule absolute, upon payment of the costs of the action, and of their ap plication. The argument, of which we give the only points, occu pied the whole morning. The Court rose at half-past o-ie o'clock, their Lordships presence being required in tne Court of the Exchequer at the ceremony of "prick ing for Sheriffs." ARCHES' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CLOWES V.

At that period trade was a little more animated, but it appears the imports were still in excess. This might arise, however, from the desire of parties to get in their goods before the advanced duties came into operation, and which would, of course, leave better margin for profit. The exchange had been up to 251. The particulars relative to the new emission of the French loan have given decided satisfaction in the City, as the arrangement is considered the most fa v.urable tout could possibly have been made, the instal ments being spread ore' a period of twenty months. The bare rumour that these were all to be made good in three months had excited much uneasiness from the de rangement which such a plan would have caused in the Money Market. As it is, the amounts payable will be but 10,000,000 francs each time, and no doubt a large proportion, whoever may obtain the contract, will be allotted in the French metropolis, as well as in the other Continental cities. The Funds opened rather flatly this morning, not withtanding the advance in the French Funds, and money being in rather more request, stock was offered m. .re freely. Consols have ranged from par to 100/ for Money, and from 100-,1- to 100/ for Account. Exchequer Bills have been down to 635. and 61s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 1014 to 1021 ; and the Three per Cents., 99i to 4.. Spanish Bonds have given way this morning, the Five per Cents. being marked 2.1 i 4, and the Three per Cents. 35:k 4. There is nothing of importance from Spain, but the advices of the dreedful hurricane at Cuba lead to the apprehension of a greatly diminished 'revenue this year from that source. Portuguese Converted Stock has been 661-, and rather dull. Mexican Bonds are quieter at 351, Colombian at 14, and Brazilian at 88. Dutch Two-and a Half per Cents. are 62-/ and Russian Bonds are 119. In Shares business continues to be limited, and prices ara still rather heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONK O'CLOCK.

ANOTHER FIRE AT WEST BERGUOLT.—We re' gret to state that about half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday night a fire broke out upon the premises Of West Bergholt Hall, the property of John Round, Esq.• M.P., of Danbury Park, and in the occupation of Mr. J. Ward, when a large double barn, filled with wheat a nd barley, a cart lodge, and a granary containing corn is sacks ready for market, w ere t o t a ll y consumed. Severs' waggons, tumbrels, &c., were saved by the police, who exerted themselves in the most praiseworthy manner in preserving order and in the attempt to save the property. The fire is supposed to have been wilfully occasioned.- - Essex Herald. SCENE IN TWEEDMOUTII SCOTCH CHURCH.---01 11 the forenoon of Sunday last a rather curious affair hap pened in the Rev. Mr. Grant's church, Tweedmouth , which is at present in connexion with the Established Church of Scotland. The Rev. Gentleman, after con cluding hi s sermon , no tifi e d hi s i ntent i on of leaving that Church, having entered into an engagement to go oat to India as a missionary of the Church of Scotland, at the same time urging the congregation to remain in con nexion with the Established Church, and not to unite with either the Free Church of Scotland or English Pres byterian Church. After the pronouncing of the benedin• tion, Mr. Pearson, of Tweedmouth, who by his gestures during the service manifested great uneasiness, and an eV dent desire to speak, stood up and requested the congrega tion to remain for a few moments, having something of importance to co mmun i ca t e . M r. G rant, w i th a for of the congregation, immediately left the chapel, but tue majority remained to hear what the speaker had to :O r ' He then urged the congregation not to allow themselves to be bound neck and heels to the Establishment by . any minister. He himself was a supporter of the principles of the Free Church of Scotland, and would never alloy himself to be handed over to any party the minister might choose; and he therefore would propoie that a congregational meeting be held, in order to decide as £ 0 which body application should be made for candidates to supply the place of Mr. Grant. This motion was se conded and agreed to; but Mr. P., while delivering his speech, was frequently interrupted by groans and hisses. and, that gentleman's ire being excited, he declared that he believed nine-tenths of the congregation were utterly ignorant of what they were about ! This lively meeting then broke up.—Berwick Warder: THE MEDITERRANEAN AND INDIA MAILS.—The following notice was issued yesterday morning from tl;t 1 General Post-office, St. Martin's le Grand :—The mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Malta , Greece, and the lonian Islands, will be made up 'i n Thursday morning next, the 14th instant, and for EgfP t i India, ilong-Kong, and China, on the m o rnin g of the 3 , of December, via Southampton.
