Mr. SCARLE TT shoved cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Marryatt to quash a Writ of Certiorari, removing the proceed ings from the Surrey Sessions.to this Ccurt. The application was made on the ground that the Magistrates had not received due notice of the said Certiorari, and the question was, whether it was correctly issued ? It was an information against the de fendant, who is one of the Proprietors of the Coburg Theatre, to recover a penalty, for performing the play of Richard the Third. A conviction and appeal took place ; after which the defendant was desirous of removing all the proceedings to the Court of King's Bench. Mr.. M ARRYATT, when he moved for the rule, contended, that the 13th of George the Second required that notice be given to the two convicting Magistrates of removing proceedings be fore them by CERTIORARI ; that notice had not been given,_ and the writ would riot be available. Mr. SCAWLETT now contended, that the rule wr,s moved . for upOn :a misconception of the law. The notice re:iuired by Nlr. Marryatt was in this case unnecessary, the parties not, being bound by the Statute alluded to. - • Mr. NiAItRYATT was heard in support of the rule. • • Mr. CAsnEnt, followed on the same sid e , and mentioned a new objection. Ile adverted to the return made by the Nlagis trat64 to the 'Certiorari, and subrnittt4l that it was irregular, in asmuch that it was not under the seal of the Magistrate, as di rected by the terms of the .Writ. The eiflEF .JUSTICE asked if the partics had any objection to go again to the Sessions to try the appeal ? It did not appear that they were desirous of going again to the Sessions. - Mr. SCARLETT then propoied, that the return be taken on the file and amended. The irregularity of the return would be no groUnd to quash the Certiorari. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—If you do not wish to go to the Sessions, the return must be amended, as it is irregular. The COurt finally enlarged the rule, and allowed the return to be amended. . The case open the merits will most probably cone before the Cori: t.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION DINNER. Some Electors of Westminster assembled yes terday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern in the Strand, for the purpose of celebrating the purity of election in the return to Parliament of the pre sent Members for that city. _ Sir FRANCIS BURDETT presided.—lmmediately after the cloth was removed the President gave es a toast, " The People; the only source of legitimate power," wnich was drank with three times three.—Air, Britons strike 'home. Then followed, " The King; and may he recollect his own declaration, that the Crown is held only in trust for the people.' "—Air ? Hope told a flattering tale. The Queen."—Air, Rule, Brittania. " The only cure for all our grievances=a Reform in the Com mons House of Parliament."—Air, Kick the rogues out. Mr. Alderman WOOD, after an eulogium on the Honourable Baronet's public' conduct and principles, proposed, " The Health. of Sir Francis Burdett, the Constant opposer of tyranny and oppression ; the steady Advocate of the Constitutional Rights ; undaunted by persecution and unsullied by corrup tion, which was drank with three times three. Sir FRANCIS BUItDETT, in returning thanks forthe honour which had been done him, expressed the high gratifiCation he felt in meeting so numerous and respectable a holy of the electors of Westminster. The Worthy Alderman had inade mention of . what he had been pleased to call his services, in a Manner which he felt he hardly deserved. As to the slight inconveniences he had undergone, they were too trifling to .be named, in comparison with the sufferings of their unfortunate countrymen, upon whom. punishment had been visited for such offences as had never been heard of in this nation since the expulsion of the Stuarts. On looking at the state of the country, he saw an alarming en croachment on the rights of the subject, in the shape of a num ber of persons calling themselves the Constitutional. Association, the object of which was to destroy the liberty of the Press.— He thought the unconstitutional power which the Attorney_ General possessed was quite sufficient for the purposes of such - persons, without the assistance of this body. Ile then alluded to the transactions at M a n c heSt e r, i n t o which, lie said, he.still hoped to see some more efficient inquiry instituted. He de signated it as an affair which the Ministers could not justify, although . numerous misrepresentations had been made by them on the subject. However humiliating the confession was, still he must state, .that to the forbearance of pers on s i n power, they people were indebted for 'the liberty they enjoyed. He concluded,. by recommending those who were advocates for ' Reform in general, however they might differ upon minor points, to unite for the purpose of procuring a return of justice and fair dealing, which was only to be procured by a icforth in the House of Commons. The Hon. Baronet then proposed the following toast, which he wished to be drunk in solemn silence : " The memory of our unfortunate. fellow subjects who were killed at Manchester, on 16th August."—Air, Dead March in Saul. The Hon. DOUdLAS KI*NAIRD then proposed the health of John Cam Hobhouse, Esq. Mr. H °EIie:USE in returning thanks, expressed his gratitude to the electors who had by their votes placed him in so honour able and so dangerous a situation. From the danger he should never shrink, because he knew he should always find in them able and candid judges of his conduct, and because they had as sociated with him a friend and a philosopher,' whose example was sufficient to inspire any man who had courage enough to folloWit. Ile then - apoldgised in the name of Mr. Leonard, Mr. Byng, and Lord Nugent, who had been prevented by their duties in the House of CommoiA from attending this meeting; who had requested him to express their..reat ,re gret at being unable to state personally their full , concur rence in the expediency and necessity of that Reform which was the object of the Gentlemen present. He then took occa, sion to speak of the' Constitutional Association, which he de signated as consisting of persons who were desirous of distin guishing between the liberty and the licence of the press. There were certain persons who were assistants to the Attorney_ General, and were called his devils ; the Constitutional As- . sOciation seemed, however, ambitious of being called his sub devils. It was composed, among others, of Sir John Sewell, Alderman Rothwell, and Sir Thomas Lethbridge, -whose hair, it would be recollected, had stood on end upon an - occasion to which it was hardly necessaryfor him to allude. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to recommend' the.list of the sub scribers to be published at Charing-cross and the Royal Ex change, and prophesied that i - astead of the. ssociation encircling their brows with laurel, they would fix upon them the cap aria bells used in the ancient \lay gaines. He concluded by pray ing that they might live long to jingle them, and that they (tile electors) might live long to laugh.at them. Sir FRAN - cis . BounETT then proposed the health of Mr. S. C. Whitbread, who returned thanks. Mr. TxtimwAr.r. made a speech. The band, so called, then played the Marseillois Hymn, which .was styled upon this occa sion " Liberty or death.' " • Sir F. BURDETT then proposed the health of Alderman Wood, who returned thanks. The Chairman also gave the health of Joseph Hume, Esq. with thanks to him thr his meri torious services - in reducing the expenditure of the country. • . Mr. 11 - trivrE• returned thanks in a speech of some length, and of a very diffuse. nature. Several toasts followed. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S BIRTH-DAY.- On Monday the whole of the domestics,. 42 in number, were entertained with an exeellenttlinner, , and in the evening a ball was given to them and their friends.

Letters front Madrid of the 10th state that the King was about to quit the capital for some place of greater personal security.

[MORNING- CHRONICLE.] •• " Happily," says a Ministerial Morning Paper, " the wild • mountainous Districts with which Spain abounds, furnish - a refuge to Loyalty.— The brave Spanish Vendeans will not submit to the bloody yore of their tyrants. They resist, and they will conquer. The blood .of the mur dered Vinuessa will not in vain cry for vengeanCe to the generous Spanish Nation."—This wonder ful sensibility on the part of those who boast of .the policy of the slaughter at Manchester is sin gular enough, no doubt. The authors of the dreadful carnage at Cadiz remain yet unpunished; but what is the wanton and treacherous butchery of the people ? The death of dsupporter of 'the In quisition is however a very different matter. This, of course, is more than enough to justify a civil war, and all the evils which follow in its train. —The brave Spanish Vendeans under the auspices of Church, and with the good Wishes of this Journalist, have not hesitated to resist the • existing Government, but we,hope they will not conquer." We never expected that the numerous bodies, who by the abuses on which they fat tened, kept Spain in such a wretched• state, would yield witiout a struggle. We trust, how ever, that those whom they can succeed in de luding, will form but a small proportion of the population. Spain, we fear, will have. to purchase the good of regeneration at the expence of much suffering. But. is it for those who have been praying for disturbances, and looking anxiously' forward to foreign invasion as likely to lead. to them, to hold the langnage they now hold with regard to Spain ? We must never forget that every thing in Spain was going on peaceably till the Holy Alliance began to act. We know, therefore, on whose head to lay all the evils which have taken, and may yet take place. . , [BRITISH PRESS,] • All anxiety in the mercantile world respecting the Timber Trade is now at an end, for the Bill, to regulate the Duties upon Foreign and Colonial Timber was read a third time last night in the House of Lords and passed. Upon this subject the Ministers had a very difficult game to play, and in our opinion they escaped from the difficul ties in a manner sufficiently creditable ,to them selvesand advantarreous to the conflicting interests of the Canadas, of merchants connected with the Northern Trade, and' of the consumers in ge neral. We admit that the measure militates in principle against the theory of a tree trade and of obtaining the ,necessities of consurription at the nearest market, but we cannot lose sight of the great claims which our Colonies have upon the parent country for protection and encouragement.; and considering that the trade of those Colonies is confined by our partial laws to ourselvesalone, we should regard it as highly unjust to place them in the light of foreign nations, and . enforce against them the utmost strictness of a theory which we have already violated with respect to them by the restraints previously imposed upon their commerce. If it be really desirable to admit foreign nations, rivals or enemies, ‘to a free competition in our markets with any of our Colonies, such a proposition must ever in jus tice go hand in hand with a resolution of throw ing open the 'trade of such Colony to the world. With respect to the relative merits of the Baltic and Canadian, timbers, very conflicting evidence has' been given before, the Commit tees; but this is a fact not to be disputed, that since Parliament encouraged the importation of Canadian Tithber, by imposing a heavy duty upon the Timber of the Baltic,, the price of the, Baltic Timber has actually fallen 'one-third in our markets, so that the duty, instead of operat ing necessarily, as Lord Lauderdale represented it, as a premium for purchasing inferior Timber, has in point of fact made the Baltic Timber More attainable than it was before, if the consumers thought it preferable in use to the Timber from the ColonieS. Being upon this subject we can not avoid making one further remark. There are in our opinion some considerations worthy of a statesman's attention - beyond the views of policy merely commercial. .The affectionate attachment of our Colonies ought not to he sacrificed to the pursuit of any ingenious theory, or to the attain ment of some pecuniary advantages, should they 'be even more unequivocal in their natare,than those which might be anticipated from the doubtful policy of preferring the Timber of the North of Europe to that of our American fellow-subjects.

W e yesterday noticed the laudable endeavours of the Constitutional Association to correct that most trernend - ous evil of modern times, a profli gate; disloyal ; and seditious Press, Of the ex tent of the evil, no reflecting mind can entertain a doubt, especially after the appalling coinci dence of cause and effect, which we lately point ed out. In the latter end of 1816 began the twopenny seditious libels, and instantly - the number of criminals, all over the country, was multiplied, in the proportion of three to two ! 4f any individuals, by legal means, can stay this moral plague, corrupting the very life and health of the State, they will deserve the highest praise, and may well claim universuj co=operation. What, then, is our surprise, to find a paper which calls itself respectable, testifying an. entire fel low-feeling with the venders of seditious libels, an &railing, in the most coarse and insolent strain of invective, against their prosecutors ! We al lude to a paragraph in yesterday's Mortrifig nick!, which, with equal folly and audacity, called the Constitutional Association n-" execrable i ione.. The. list of persons, whom this writer dares so to stigmatise, is 'before the public. It includes Peers; of every -rank, spiritual and - temporal, Mernbers oft the }louse of Commons, Clergymen, Magistratos, Naval and- Military Officers, Merchants, Bank ers, Traders—in short, it is an epitome of what ever is rich or great, learned or pious, eminent, :honourable, or illustrious in the whole commu nity. Such is the Society, which a conceited Writer, in a daily paper, thinks he can put down, or frighten from the path of their duty, by vulgar abuse!—We, for our own part, have certainly no reason to complain of the paragraph in ,question for it does us the extraordinary honour of supposing that Archbishops and Bishops, Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Admirals and Generals, have all been guided by us in the formation and prosecution of this scheme. We certainly feel highly' flattered by the suggestion, but truth and justice compel us to own, that we are of infinitely less consequence in the world than this writer chooses to suppose. We have, it is true,.contributed . our mite to the subscrip tion, and we should be happy if any recommend atiOns of ours could extend the number of the members ; but beyond this we can lay claim to no part of the merit which belongs to the Asso ciation. • TUE CORONATION,-S0 earnestly have - the preparations -for • the Coronation in Westminster-hall been, resumed within the last few days, that the fronts of the several tiers • of., galleries. on either side of the Hall are now . covered with • canvass, and partly so with papef....... The galleries, imitative of castle towers and turrets, raised for the, kettle-drums and trumpets, under which the ,cluith piOn is .to pass from the grand entrance, New Palice-yar,l, are preparing for the reception of canvas, &e. ; they are, row- , ever, to. be only partially papered :- the remaining portions ca-f.: to be painted in a style illustrative of the splendid events of tir day. The elevated platform for the Royal table, at the opposite end of the Hall, is completed; and on each side of it is erected an extensive box, with numerous seats for several branches of the Royal Family, for Foreigners of distinction, Ambassa dors, &c. These boxes are-on.a level with the platform and Royal table, and they are the only seats possessing such pea". liarity. The extensive compartment, or box, which is prepar, •ed for-the Royal Family, is on the right of his Majesty's table ; it occupies the station heretofore devoted to the C-ourt of King's Bench. That box which- is set apart for the reception of the Foreigners of distinction, is on the left of the Royal table ; it is on the spot formerly constituting pact of the Court of Chan cery. The Royal table, of course, fills the centre, engaging the spaCe between these two boxes. , The figures of ancient So.; vereigns; that used to be seen over the benches of the Judges, are restored to the niche's which they formerly occupied ; under them and the grand window there is to he tapestry. The Royal and Foreign boxes are to be covered with scarlet cloth.— The lantern for the centre of the roof,' which is to be restored teits'primitive heilht, that of ninety. feet and upwards, is nearly erected within the Hall. It is a fine specimen of open, gothic architecture, and it is likely to last long, as its arches and chief decorations are formed with cast iron after moulds,— The stone ornaments round the Hall, some of them being 4.:f laughably singular grotesque character, are restored to a style of perfection that reflects great credit on the Board of Woks, -: as Indeed do the leading preparations. within the Hall, as ,well as those to restore the grand. window and towers in N ew . Palace yard to a state of perfeCtion, equalling, if not surpassing, their original condition. „ A. GAMING ROUSE BESIEGED. —An ;Mir , which occurred a few evenings since at a gaming -house in St- James's-street, has occasioned much stir and inquiryat Marl borough,street. Police-office. Information was laid at the office by persons who' bad lost money at . play, and werenther wise disappointed. These persons undertook to assist the of ficers in getting into the house by opening the first Boer windows, as the house was so barricaded, that it was ossible • for them to get in -by the regular entrance:, — The whole party of ' the officers, with an additional force of .Constables, assembled near the house. at the appointed hem-, with ladders .in reserve. The striking of St; James's clock was .the signal for the attack, when some persons within were to throw up the sashes. The ladders i d ol -sealing being brought, the watchmen.on.the beat gave an alarm, and all was spoiled.— The watchman, in his` defence, stated, that he did not knew but the party were about to commit a robbery, as they were strangers to him. The managers of the gaming house volun tarily attended before the Magistrates upon one of the'inquiries into the conduct of the watchman, who was, they urged, doing his duty. Theysaidit was a house for play, and they had no objection to admit a police officer at any time, but they did not choose to• have the house 'plundere-ti by a mob. This ex pression was in allusion to those . who laid the information, and who, were described as disappointed people front other hauses of play. There was the som of 4,000 E in the 'rank, sand that was too much for a scramble. Here the affitir rests. . - Mg-LANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday last, as the youngest son of Charles Morris, Esq. of Great Cumber land-place, a fine young man of nineteen, was driving through 'Bridgewater in a Tilbury with 'a friend, the horse unfortunate ly took fright, when the reins breaking, they both jumped out, and, melancholy to relate, Mr. Morris, falling on his had, fractured hia skull so severely that he expired on the spot. - • DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—A letter from Boiiil)4, dated Dec. 2, says :—” On Sunday evening last a cutter belong ing to the Sir Stephen Lushington upset. Aparty had been spending the day atElephanta, and were returning ir. the even ing in the cutter, thirteen persons in all, when the beat rat upset by a man going up to the mast-head to clear the toppirg lift, and the party were all plunged into the water. Mr. Kr is.e. the High Constable of Bombay, and Mr. LEX (son of Mr. Lgr, of King-street, Covent-garden), late Second Officer of the Re gret, were unfortunately drowned. The remainder of tie party and crew got on her bottom, and after eleven hours hard and anxious struggle reached the Island of Elephanta." Extract of a letter from Rome :—" Some remarkably fine statuary and other marble quarries have lately been discovered at Serarazza, in Tuscany, much superior to any thing of the kind at Carrara, which threatens to rival and lower the pride of the latter-mentioned place. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of T tiscaisY gives great encouragerdent andproVetion both to commerce and the fine arts within his dominions.". Ilk MAJESTY'S Commissioners fur building New Churches, have engaged to provide money to build two churches in the parish of Bradford, in the diocese of York.
