OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage .Inly, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. 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. The publication of Tux SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'clock. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER I, 1836. Accounts from Seville, of the 12th of November, state, that according to positive information, GOMEZ was at Lora del Rio, about eight leagues from Seville. Every preparation was made there, as if the enemy were in sight, and all th e troops had taken up their respective positions. General ESPINOSA was with two companies of artillery and some horse at Brenes, four leagues from Seville, and took up a position to defend the passage of the Guadalquiver. The Gentral second in command in the Province, had sent a courier to Baron BOMFEN, commanding the Portuguese troops united at Beja, no doubt to de mand assistance. Numerous arrests have taken place at Seville. The news received from COItDOVA state that tranquillity prevailed in that town. The band of GoMiz is stated to be five thousand infantry, with nine hundred cavalry. It was reported at Madrid on the 26th, in the evening, that GONIEZ had entered Seville on the 15th, and the QUEEN'S troops had retreated to Ulterea. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 22d ult. have been received. The QUEEN-RE GENT h as is sued a decree ordering an inquiry into the military con duct of General RODIL from the 20th of September to the 13th of November—the day on which he re signed the command of the army. It was confidently asserted in Madrid that - a change of Ministry was about to take place. Senor LOPEZ, Minister for the Home Department, had tendered his resignation, and it was expected that his example would be followed by the ad interim Minister of War, and the Minister of Grace and Justice. To provide against any dange r to the Government from the Con stitutional regulation, ordaining that all newly appointed Ministers should be disqualified to enter upon their functions, unless re-elected, Senor CAL ATRAVA, with the concurrenc e of his colleagues, proposed in the sit ting of the 20th ult., the following modications of the Constitution : 1. That Deputies to the Cortes might be appointed Secretaries of State, and discharge the duties of their office -without the necessity of bein g re-el ec t e d. 2. That military men, elected a; Deputies, may command in the army, without forfeitin g their seats in the Cortes. 3. Th a t G overn ment, with consent, of the Cortes previously obtained, might appo'..nt Deputies to dis charge Commissions of high and grave importativ.., to the State. The discussion.u.p' .. - a these modifieatif . ns of th e Con stitution was un 4 P hey ultimately iteresting. y adopted, withcoilt a division. In the St ing of the 21st, the debate was stormy, but n;)t politically important. The President of the Coun c il quite lost his temper, in reulying to some übserration s of Senor ALVARO. Senor CALATRA v.i. twill not long remain Premier, if' he attempt to govern OA Chamtjei by the mere aid of coarse invective. Th:e violence with which the organs of undiluted Toryism assail the KING'S Ministers, the House of commons, and the people, is tantamount to an ac ),lcnowledgetnent on their part that the " game is all up" with the LYNDHURST faction. Neither the ,Veers nicknamed " Conservative," nor the cabal be hind the Throne, can effect anything. Their in trigues go for nothing, and though there are among them certain personages who heretofore fancied that by a whisper or a shrug of the shoulders, they could make or unmake Cabinet Ministers, a clay has dawned, even upon the Court, to convince them that they are as - 9 a • ' le t . 1 / 94 1 4te .... 1,.. e RIO • , /9.• tEf),e THE SUN, LONDON, TiltitSDAY, DECV,MIII4III, 1, IS3O. heads of they oppressors." Better, theiefore, 'riot ei:- asperatc theetoo The:y 1;no strength, .an 4 Cci l eniOby it if necessary. The Lords 'mast cboose between the Reform and the destruction of their House—the Church must descend to a political equality with Dissenters and Roman Catholics. One of tl►ese impositions upon the public, which are called Operative Conservative Dinners, but which are in reality guzzling matches, got up f ot the purpose of debauching the morals of the working classes, was passed off at Warrington the other day by the Tories of that borough. It is scarcely necessary Cot tis to say that the members of these contemptible confederacies against the spread of Reform principles, arc either the wretched victims of intemperance who have become mamas from the society of the respectable portion of their own class, or the miserable dependents for cm , ployment upon the will of Tory masters—men who not having courage enough to resist the mandate of a tyrant ) prefer the crouching Attitude and menial offices of slavery, accompAtlicd with the crumbs that fall from the ri c h man'stable, to the erect bearing and inde pendent f ee li ng which, bles9ed be Crop, are the al- most universal characteristics of the industrious port lation of .it 7 manufacturing towns Considering the films used, the intimidatiou, the bribery, the Wheedling, the gin ) rum, and tobacco expended by the self-At)led friends of the operatives, wondrous little progress has been made in the work of conver sion. We do not believe that out of the millions of operatives which the country contains, the sham-asso ciations can muster more than three or four thousand members, if so many. And this is what we are called upon to look to as a sign of the times—an unelnivocal symptom of reaction among the working classes This pitiful PZiclublage of vice s beggary, and misery ; this unnatural combination of the dregs and the scum of so ciety, which collectively and individually is an object for scorn "to point his slow unmoving finger at ;" this, forsooth, is an epitome of that vast, intelligent, upright, and liberty-loving body, the operatives o: Great Britain ! What a libel is this on the industrious classes ! and what brazen impudence in the knaves who arc thus attempting to deceive the public by parading their political decoy-ducks with so much ostentation before its eyes 1 Of this Warrington feed it may suffice to say that it was a lac simile of several others which have dis graced different parts of the country. The principal performer was a Mr. MOLLY, who called upon his pot-companions " not to permit the illustrious descend ants of the Barons of Runnymede to be the victims of theoretical democratic experiments." This is a high compliment to our nobility. The descendants of the Barons of Runnymede are much obliged to Mr. MOLLY, and no doubt feel much flattered (however the Barons themselves, had they been now alive, would have felt),by having the protection of his seven fold shield thrown over them. MOLLY is, we believe, the person who wrote the slip-slop, lady's-maid like letters, which lately appeared in a Morning Paper under the signature of " RUNNYMEDE." MOLLY was very appropriately supported by a brother spouter named something WILKs, or WILKINS, who is, we have been told, a lawyer if some grade or other, and who finds abundance of time to tramp about the country and harangue meetings as respectable as that at Warrington. This person delivered himself of a great quantity of trash, which he seems to have been bottling up for some time, and said, among other things equally good, that when he got into St. Stephen's (!) he would impeach any man who should open his mouth against the peers !! ! Honourable Members need not tremble. We find some of the party were baulked of their feed. There not being grub enough, they were-not admitted till the cloth (?) was removed—an arrange ment at which their stomachs (no wonder) grumbled sadly. The whole of the Paris Journals of Sunday, Mon day, and Tuesday have been received. Bilboa stil holds out against th e whole power of the Carlists, The following telegraphic communications are copies from the official columns of the Moniteur " Bayonne, Nov. 24. " Advices from Madrid of the 18th state that, in conse quence of a Carlo• Republican plot, the object of which wa s to deprive the Queen of the Regency, twenty-six persons have been arrested, including Calvo de Rosas and Count de Las Navas. " Rodil has delivered up the command to Ribero. Bilboa was not yet attacked on the 21st." " Bayonne, Nov. 26 " Gomez was on the 11th at Lora, eight leagues from Seville, the Captain-General at Brones, and the Cadiz militia dispersed at Alcala. Narvaez was expected on 16th at Berlanga. Nothing new respecting Bilhoa on the 23d." " Bayonne, Nov. 27, 1836. " It is announced that on the 26th at noon, Espartero left Portugalete at the head of 15,000 men, moving upon Bilboa, by the road of Balinaceda." Private letters from Bayonne, of the same date as the last of these despatches, state that EsrAnTERO and VILLAREAL were so near each other that an en gagement was hourly expected. We therefore look forward to au early termination of this affiiir. General E V A rrs had not been able, in consequence of the stormy state of the weather, to send any assistance to ESPAR TERO ; but he had made arrangements to attack Irun in person, while the Carlists were occupied before Bilboa. The tools of the PRETENDER wish it to be credited that EcurA declines capturing the town, be cause his Royal Master is unwilling to give it up to be pillaged, and the Gallant Officer is fearful lest he might not be able to restrain the ardour of his troops ! The stomach of an ostrich is too weak to digest such an absurdity. On the 18th inst. the mortal remains of CHARLES X. were consigned to a temporary sepulchre in the Franciscan Convent at Goritz. The Opposition Journals continue to attack the Got•ernment for the recent events at Lisbon, and sig nificantly ask, wherefore was a French squadron sent to the Tagus with orders to co-operate with the Bri tish fleet in that river? The Ministerial prints con tent themselves with simply denying that the French Admiral had received such orders ; and add, in conclu sion, that the papers on the subject in the bureaus of the Ministers of Marine and Foreign Affairs, will be submitted to the Chambers. There is no other intelligence of any political nio• meld in those papers. Some interesting extracts from them are given in another part of The Sun. The late unfavourable weather has confined many of the numerous sporting gentry and visiters, of whom Lea mington is now very full, chiefly to the drawing-room, and the private assemblies have commenced with spirit. Last week Mr. Creighton gave an elegant ball and supper at Mr. Elliston's Upper Assembly Rooms, which were at tended by more than 150 fashionables. THE CLUBS OF LONDON AND TIIEIR MENI BERS.—The unknown author of " The Great Metropolis" appears to have had opened to him very peculiar sources of information relative to the existing clubs of London. We never remember to have read so complete an exposi tion of these establishments; his anecdotes also of many of the members are highly amusing. Other chapters of this en tertaining work are devoted to metropolitan society—the higher classes—the middle classes—the lower classes-- the theatres, gaming-houses, &C. &C. THE R EC ORDER'SREPORT. —Y esterday afternoon the Recorder of the City of London made his report to his Majesty in Council, at Brighton, of the prisoners confined in the gaol of Newgate who were convicted at the last Sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and were under sentence of death, viz. --William Spinks, aged 22 ; Wm. Bell, aged 24 ; and Ambrose Elwes, aged 23, for burglary ; all of whom his Majesty was graciously pleased to respite during his Royal pleasure. The Duke of Norfolk keeps himself totally secluded from the fashionable world., His Grace has been in St. James's-square for some days, but sees no company. helpless as new-born babes. They can no longer no minate to Governorships and Judgeships in our Colo nies ; they can no longer appoint to Embassies and Secretaryships of Legation ;. and though they still ims, . - secs power at the Horse-Guards, there is—i'ortunately for the nation—a superior power and a will in the House of Commons, to clip the pinions of the Com mandcr-in-Chief, were he disposed - to abuse the prero gative of the SOVEREIGN. The people arc daily ris- ir.g into authority in the State ; they begin to exercise that salutary degree of influence which belongs to them as the source of all constitutional authority. The Tories are not merely alarmed—they are actually furious with rage and despair. One time they assail them as fierce ruthless revolutionists—as mountainists and terrorists thirsting for the blood of the old aris tocracy; the next moment they charge them with ignorance, infidelity, and dissent—with leaguing them selves with rebels and Papists to overthrow the altar and the throne ; and when all fails, they denounce them as an union of Radicals, Dissenters and Papists, whose common object is the overthrow of all esta blished institutions i❑ Church and State. In Frazer's Magazine for this month, we find an article under these heads, in which the writer takes some pains to show that the faction, of which he is the voice, would prefer a return of the good old days when the Dis senters, by passing the Test Act, proved that they were ready to become slaves themselves, provided thereby they could effect the enslaving of the Roman Catholics, rather than live to sec them unite in a struggle for equal rights. He denounces the unioi between them as " unnatural and incestuous ;" an though he does not dare to demand a separation, he talks of the necessity of their joint repression— scoffs at their claims for equality with Church men—and loads them with every species of vitu perative contumely. Now if the Church of Eng land be so thoroughly disgusted with the union of Republicans, Dissenters,' and Papists, as she professes to be, we will point out how she may effect their sepa ration. The Dissenters have hitherto defended her against all attacks made upon either her existence or her property. She has in return acknowledged them fellow-labourers in the Gospel vineyard. Suppose now that she exchange places with them for half a cen tury, and take upon herself to watch, while they fatten upon the loaves and fishes of the Establishment What says my Lord of EXETER ? The proposal is based upon the principle of fair play. The Dissen ters gained the victory in the reign of ANNE-there is, therefore, no grounds for charging them with impa tience, because they now ask to participate in a divi sion of what yet remains of the spoil. Their Lord ships, the Bishops, talked of nothing but the piety of their " dearly-beloved brethren, the Dissenters," when their object was to keep the Catholics in bondage, and so long as they were foolish enough to keep up the interested shout of " No Popery," dissent was, in the mouth of both Prince and Prelate but another name for a purer discipline and a tenderer con science. Now, the religious principles of the Dis senters are unchanged. They have undergone no sort of modification. The body is composed of as good Protestant members as it ever was. Wherefore, then, not entrust them for a time with the revenues of the State religion ? We shall then have a specimen of Church-of-England loyalty under similar circumstances. It will then be seen whether a Protestant Right Rev. Father in God is not a match for the ablest disciple of St. Ignatius of LOYOLA, in the concoction of plots and conspiracies, when. reduesA to the alternative of either living by the altar, or starving. But the organs of. the Conservatives are so besotted with rage, that t,e--y are continually contradicting them selves. Thi s is the consequence of a desire to say some thing wi t :flout knowing precisely what to say. This moment they are wringing their hands, and bewailing the downfall of their faction ; the next they arc up in arms, hurling defiance at the presumptuous but impo tent malice of a defeated mobocracy. By way of illus tration, we quote the following extracts from the article in Fraser. Speaking of the union of Radicals, Dis senters, and Papists, the writer says : " This party has not yet obtained the ascendancy in the Councils of Britain, and never will as long as property, propriety, and common sense exist in the country ; but the projects they are brewing in the eclipse of reason and of virtue, and the objects they contemplate, are not the less to be held up to the hatred of the wise and the good. What has been called a reform in the Lords is not one of the ultimate achievements contemplated by this miserable section ; it is merely the removal of one of the barriers in the way of their advancement to ascendancy they long to kick off the course. Their grand and distinctive objects arc, the vote by ballot, universal suffrage, and annual Par liaments. The first, to be a covert for the grossest corrup tion on their part, without the possibility of exposure, and open only to them, as the sound-hearted would have nothing to do with underhand and nefarious practices ; the second, to draw away the poor man from his business, and plunge him in political perplexities about matters too high for him ; and the third, in order to bring every M.P. so thoroughly under the dictum and. the pledge of the profanunt vu/gas, that, instead of acting as intelligent and rational men, im partially weighing every proposition' hid before them, they might act as mere automatons, inflated and inspired by the popularis aura' from Spitalfields, and St. Giles, and the Cowgate ; and that the three schemes, co-operating and coalescing, might bring this great nation, mid its commerce, and its Church, under an ignorant mobocracy." Now persons endowed with no more than ordinary capacity would suppose the first sentence in the above extract to mean that the Radicals possessed no govern ing power in the State. We confess such was our impression, till we compared it with the following ex quisite commentary upon it : " In fact, the state of matters is this—the representa tives of Popery, Radicalism, and Dissent, walk up to the Cabinet, and make their respective demands. Gentlemen' says Lord Melbourne, lam at your service ; your most obedient ; order, and I obey. Knock at my doors for any concession or kindness, and it shall be instantly given you : kick the Church to Davy Jones's locker ; or the House of Lords to the Esquimaux, or to the North Pole, or any where you like ; but do not, for any sake, kick me out of my place. lam callous on all subjects, but most sensitive on this. On your most scrupulous attention •to this point it depends, Mr. O'Connell, whether you and your brothel\ Dr. Murray, are to get the tithes and the extinction of the Irish Church-; and whether you, Messrs. Binney, l3urnet, and other pious Dissenters, arc to be allowed to get the steeple and the rates at your godly disposal ; and w h e th e r you, Messrs. Whittle Harvey, Duncombe, and Hume, are to have conceded to your patriotic maws the house of Lords!" What say our readers now ? Are they puzzled ? We confess that to . .eecoiltile such sentiments with each other suri)P..s%s bur understanding. But enough of such st"."ecr absurdity. The people of England—the n'.teiligence, the industry, and the sinews of the na tion—will not allow themselves to be made longer the dupes of idle declamation. The " brewing of projects in the eclipse of reason and virtue," may sound mighty fine in the ears of an old Tory ; but such phrases will not convince the people that they ought to take the bread out of their children's mouths, to enable the repre sentat i ves of the meek and lowly Saviour of Man kind to support th e s t a t e o f P r i nce s—to starve them selves t o feed the. pampered stud of some pampered Aristocrat—a.nd to permit their wives and daughters to appear in rags, or retreat to a workhouse, rather th a n attempt to restrain the prodigality of a licentious Court favourite, or a corrupt Minister. No. We distinctly tell the Torie s in the noble language of BURKE, that " there is a tune when men will not suf fer bad things, isbecause their ancestors have suffered There a time when the worse.hoary head of in veterate abuse will neither draw reverence nor obtain protection." That time fast approaches, and if the Aristocracy prepare not for it, they will in vain expect a punctilious generosity from a people inured to bar barism through their machinations. Resisted with obstinacy, and loaded with contumely to the last, they may free themselves by 44 breaking their chains on the KING'S BENCILL-(THIS DA.Y.) oattngs at Nisi Fritts, bctOre Mr. iusai.: I'2'o'l'o2(j: 4 it`l'd a Common Jury.)

The dtifendant dis puted his liability, first; because the bill was not presented until after it had bcnorne chic but that he (Mr. Kelly) contended i.VaS qttite An6lluir eiblediciti was, that the bill was not endorsed at the time 4 *fts paSA to the plaintiff, but it would rest With the other side to prove that. A third defence was ; that the defendant bad never receiVed any dMi.t n iciratidli for tltt± billl and Also that the plaintiff never gave any consideration trsr it. Mr. :tidily would not enter into transactions that had taken place be tween the defendant mid Newland, htit as the plaintiff had received it in the regular course of his trade, he submitted that he was entitled to a verdict for the amount. George Duckett, clerk to Mr. Newland.—The bill now handed him is drawn and endorsed by Mr. Newland. 'Wit nen corrected himself, and then said the words '° Montane Newland" odly were in Mr. Newland's handwriting. 1. he bill was then put in and read. Mr, CitEsesWr.LL addressed the jury for the derniklatlti One of the defences which he would rely upon was, that it it was proved that the bill had not been endorsed when it was passed to the plaintiff, the endorsee had no better title to sue upon it than the endorser. His learned friend had re lied solely upon the testimony of Newland's clerk, and had withheld Newland himself, although it was evident that he was one of the parties to the bill, and could state under what circumstances and for what cemsideration he had received the bill from the defendant. He would prove to their satisfaction that the bill had been obtained froin the defendant in the most frau dulent manner, and it would be necessary for this pur pose to enter into some little detail. The Learned Gentle man here proceeded to narrate a variety of transactions be tween Newland and the defendant, the substance of which was, that Parsons, having built a new public-house, was na turally desirous of obtaining a license, and Mr. Newland re presented to him that he was well acquainted with many of the Magistrates of the district, and would interest himself in procuring the license, in consideration of receiving a sum of 501., when it was obtained. Parsons assented to that ar rangement, and it would be proved to them by one of the Magistrates that Newland did interest himself—that the Magistrates were indignant at Newland's interference; and granted the license solely on account of their know• ledge of Parsons' character. Newland obtained the bil for 50/., but passed it into other hands, and he had a letter of Newland's in his possession, in which be urged the holder to proceed against Parsons, who suffered judg ment to go by default, and a writ of fieri facias was sued out. An arrangement was subsequently made, by which Newland was to advance 301., and to raise 401. or 501. more upon a warrant of attorney, to be given by Parsons to a person named Kent. Parsons was afterwards induced to advance Newland two bills for 26/. ss. each, to satisfy the warrant of attorney, and upon one of these bills the present action was brought. The Learned Counsel con tended, that under all the circumstances of the case the defendant could not be held liable for this bill, he never having received any valid consideration for it. Charles Williams, attorney for the:defendant.—On the 25 th of June last I saw the plaintiff relative to the bill in question, and asked him if it had been endorsed. Plaintiff said Newland had refused to endorse it, as the bill would probably not be paid. Witness recommended plaintiff to return the bill, as the defendant had a good defence against Mr. Newland, and if he got it endorsed after that notice he could not recover—that the bill had been obtained from the defendant without consideration, and under very improper circumstances. Cross-examined--Witness had previously known the plaintiff. He made no objection to give every information. Gave the plaintiff no notice that what he stated would be used in evidence. Plaintiff told him that Mr. Newland said if the bill was paid he might carry it to the credit of his (Newland's) account. • Mr. Justice PATTESON observed, that unless the plaintiff could contradict the evidence just given, be must stand in the shoes of Mr. Newland, and he put it to the Learned Counsel (Mr. Kelly), whether, in such ,circumstances, it would be worth while continuing the case. Mr. KELLY submitted that the defendant's special plea was not proved, inasmuch as it was pleaded that the bill was given for the benefit of Newland, whereas it was given to take up a warrant of attorney. After a lengthened discussion the examination proceeded. Joseph Kent—Witness had been requested by plaintiff to call upon Newland, and beg further time when the first bill became due. I learned from Newland that the consi deration for the first bill was drawing a petition to the Ma gistrates, writing numerous letters, and using his best exer tions to procure a license for defendant. I afterwards learned that the bill was renewed, and that was subsequently renewed by two bills for 261. each. After several other witnesses were examined relative to the transactions between Newland and the defendant, Mr. KELLY addressed the Jury in reply for the plaintiff. Mr. Justice PATTLsoN summed up at considerable length, observing that the main question for the consideration of the Jury was, whether the bill had been accepted for the ac commodation of Newland, and whether the defendant had or had not received consideration for it. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury). LAMBALL V. MACARTHY. EXCHEQUER COURT.--(THIS DAY., The Court was occupied the whole morning in the trial of an action for the recovery of an attorney's bill, in which there was no point of the slightest public interest. INSOLVENT COURT.--(THIS DAY. SHERIFFS' COURT--(THIS The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up this case to the Jury, said it was an action to recover damages for a trespass. The plaintiff was a baker, who rented certain houses in Drury-lane, as a weekly tenant, and the defen dant was the landlord. The landlord being desirous to obtain possession of the premises served the tenant with a notice to quit, or to pay a double rent after the expiration of the month's notice. The plaintiff refused to quit or to pay the double rent, and what the landlord should then have done was to bring his action of ejectment, and the law would in that case have put him in quiet possession of the tenement. Instead of taking this course, lie did what was commonly called taking the law into his own hands 7 --he entered the premises, took down and carried away sonic of the fixtures, which were insured. He (defendant) had no right to do this, and, therefore they must find the verdict or the plaintiff, and all they had to du was to judge what compensation the plaintiff was entitled to for the tres pass in question. The plaintiff being a weekly tenant, and paying a weekly rent (155.), did not possess a long interest in the tenement ; and they must therefore consider how much he had been injured by being suddenly put out of possession, or at least within a shorter period than the law would have sanctioned, if the defendant had availed himself of the legal remedy of the action of ejectment. It was for the Jury to say what was a proper and reasonable compen sation, looking at all the circumstances of the case. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 151. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAw.) Henry Honore Loisel, a native of France, applied on his petition to he discharged. It appeared that the insolvent had been settled for some years in this country, where he had acted as agent-to a French house of the name of Edere, who dealt in fancy goods. In the insolvent's schedule several French creditors were included. Mr. Commissioner Lew told the insolvent that his dis charge in this country would not have any effect upon his French debts, as in that country the creditors * had no notice. The insolvent was then discharged. John Shepherd, a furniture broker, was opposed on the part of ti builder named Smith. The insolvent had been employed by his opposing creditor to levy a distress on a tenant named Jones ; he obtained 61 which he kept under the pretence that he was threatened with an action ; this was not the case, and Smith brought an action against him, which, with the costs. amounted to no less than 161. The insolvent sent a person of the name of Lawson for the purpose of seeing whether matters could not be arranged. Lawson failed in his negociations. For the trouble he had taken io the affair, Lawson, who carried on the trade of a dealer in apples, had sued the Insolvent, and thrown him into prison, for the purpose of getting out of which he had applied to the Court. It was contended, on behalf of the opposing creditor, that the debt was collusive, and could not be sustained. Mr. Commissioner LAW said Lawson must attend to prove his debt, as it was a suspicious case. The insolvent was remanded for the production of the alleged detaining creditor. ILLNESS OF THE JUDGE.- day was set apart to t r y the issue, Armstrong v. Cromwell , in which the question of the chastity of a married lady is deeply u,volved. At eleven o'clock Mr. Sergeant ARABIN entered the Court in a state of great exhaustion, and said that he had been vi s it e d this morning with a renewed attack of bilious fever, and it was impossible for Miff fd ap julticg between the parties ; hence the Court must be adjourned, Mr. Tuomns, a Counsel in the cause, said. b-F4 PC feiol Oit!Tes , ses up from Southampton, and it would bc d treat 3 .,.. 1 ,t`ati01d flYtt4.o.; He trusted his Lordship would , delegate some person (Airy „ soenost, ' .k ' ive JUDGE, to oblige the parties,. would try to get a ordef for the Secondary to try it. It was sttggestcd th:lt the writ of trial mast be altered before that could be done, Mr: said that alteration could not be effected without A Akvtlges' order. Mr. Tnom,to ow there would be no difficulty if both parties consented. The tcorned judge (AItABIN) mil here obliged to re tire, owing to eKlino%tion.—Nothing was definitively agreed upon ; and the Court adlourna CENTIiAL CRIMINAL COURT. (TillS' DAY.) OLD COURT. .Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.) S tret fi c id was indicted for having stolen on the 3tli of November a pair of drawers, the property of Samuel Jeggins. The prisoner, who is a l rt ailor, stated that he had arrived in London after a long voyage on the day of the occurrence, that he was intoxicated at the time, and consequently in capatilt tif distinguishing rig ht from wrong. He was found Guilty, and being recommended to mercy, the Court said means would be taken to have him sent back to his ship without delay. (Before Mr. JUStieC VAUGHAN and Mr. Baron PARKE.) William Death was indicted for a burglary in the dwell ing -house of Elizabeth Lydia M'Auliffe, and stealing there from three silver spoons, a pair of sugar tongs, three cruets • and stand, and other articles, her property. It appeared from the testimony of two policemen, that on the morning of Sunday, the 13th of November, at about half-past three o'clock,, the prisoner was found standing against the wall of the house, No. 2, Swan-passage, Shore ditch, and being desired to move on, was observed to have in his possession the articles stated in the indictment to have been stolen. Upon examining the premises of the prose cutrix, who resides in New Gloucester-street, St. Dennis, Shoreditch, the shutters appeared to have been wrenched open. The property was identified. Mr. DOANE addressed the Jury on behalf of the pri soner, and called witnesses who spoke to his previous good character.—He was found Guilty. John Allen, a young lad, aged 11 years, was indicted for having, on the night of the 10th of November, stolen from the dwelling-house of John Parkhouse, five pounds in silver and one pound in copper coin ; and for having burglariously broken out from the said premises. It appeared in evidence that on the night of the 10th of Nov., the prisoner was observed in the neighbourhood of Mr. Parkhousc's shop, in Great Windmill-street, Westminster ; that at an early hour next morning an alarm was given by a policeman, in consequence of which the prosecutor exa mined his house, and found one of the doors open, the till broken, and five pounds in silver, and twenty shillings in copper, stolen therefrom. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who, about two years since, was in the employment of Mr. Parkhouse, and he was induced to confess the crime, being urged thereto by his father. Before the Magistrate ho made a similar declaration, but no witness being in at tendance to prove that the usual caution had been given, Mr. Baron Parke directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner. James Riele.y was indicted for stealing a bill and money, amounting to nine pounds, the property of Thomas Stevens, in his dwelling-house, at Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, and for burglariously breaking out of the on the same night of the 17th of November.—He was found Guilty. THE MAGAZINES. BLACKWOOD. A more delightful Number than the one before us, we have not read this many a day. The " fine Roman hand" is again visible in its pages, to be detected in the very first sentence of the masterly criticism on the " Mountain Decameron"—a work which The Sun was the first to speak of in the terms it deserved, as pos sessing uncommon powers of feeling and imagination. In this criticism Christopher North formally proclaims his intention of letting fly at the puffing system. His crutch lies ready beside him ; he is in capital condition —having just recovered from his last attack of gout — and vows that he will give no quarter to the nuisance. We extract a passage from this eloquent notice, which is penned in a light, graceful, versatile manner, where pathos blended with humour, mid fancy . with shrewd critical perspicacity, forms the most relishing compound possible : " We have done our best to keep alive in the breasts of the noble Nonage' of our Isle the feeling of this elevating truth. In Literature—in Poetry—we have striven to il lustrate the profound meaning of Wordsworth, when he speaks like a seer, of the mighty movements of the soul of the world sailing on the wings of time diversely outspread, yet all harmoniously combined in the mystery of one per vading and prevailing spirit. Our theme has been Homer —and Shakspeare—and Burns—and our own Minstrel — and the Bard' himself—and other chiefs of the chosen sons of song from Orpheus to Coleridge, who have sof tened what is harder far than rocks and stones, the obdu rate hearts of men, and kindled them into offerings fit to be laid on holiest altars. The Nonage' have not turned away in their prime, from their old instructor ; they have not forgot his lessons, for they were draw from texts not less than inspired ; and the pupils who have come to see farther than their master, and they arc in thousands, have not been slow to tell him that they see still by the light he ga thered on their path—while he has rejoiced to know that they have been guided by it into regions by him unvisited, from which, may they b rin g back p eace in their hearts, and glory round their heads, calmly to breathe and brightly to burn, for many high and happy years, after he has be come extinct on earth, and left but the uncertain s hadow of a name— PROMETHEUS. " Truly bursts the doom on me ! Earth is heaving like the sea, A nd the thunder billows by ; And the lightning's fiery curls • Stream in dusters from the sky, And the whirlwind in its whirls Sweeps the dust up; and the blast Of every wind is hurrying fast, With the rush of wild commotion, Leaping each against his brother, Mad to trample one another ; And the sky is mixed with ocean In confusion reconciled— Such a blast with terror piled 'Gainst me wings its rapid path, Sent from Zeus to do his wrath." The Measure meted out to others, measured to u; Parvi stat nomiais umbra.' " Poo! We hope to live a few years yet—and though the shadow of our name will be small enough, too small to yield a child shelter from the sun, the shadow of our body is far from being small, and towards evening, when other shadows are descending longer from the mountains, has a most imposing circumference, sufficiently extensive to enclose a flock of sheep. .‘ We are, the truth must be spoken , gettina, if any thing, rather too corpulent — what the world :ills stout. So, at least, every human being says who meets us in town or country ; and for what every human being says, there must be sonic foundation in fact. There seems to be no other means of getting rid of our superfluous fat, than eating less and writing more ; so we announce, with con siderable confidence, among many other unannounced lucu brations, A Series of Articles on our Modern Prose Fic tions.' We promise to be regular in the extreme ; one such article every month, as sure as Maga or the Sun rises, and so long as to be thought short by all good judges of place and time." Why does Kit North here talk of the " shadow of his name" being " small enough," and misquote Vir gil in order to give effect to his observation ? Why apply the word " parvi" to his " shadow," when the original epithet " magni " is a thousand times more' appropriate ? Who, among the moderns, shall go down to posterity, if not the presiding spirit of the " Noctes"—the sagacious critic—the dramatist—the essayist—the poet—whose lines on the red deer— . " Magnificent creature so stately and bright, In the pride of thy spirit pursuing thy thee — are equal to the very best that these our later times h ave se en ? No, no, honest Kit North—as was well observed in Fraser's Magazine last month—is the foremost man of his time," and will be recognised as such long after his eloquent silver hairs—to quote a lovely Irish metaphor—are in the grave. " Prome theus Bound" is a noble translation from Xschylus, by Mr. Chapman. There are one or two tough cho ruses in this play, of which we entertain a very awful school-boy recollection, but the translator has grappled with them manfully. The closing passage is admir ably rendered. The rush of the verse, divested of all cumbrous epithets, like soldiers hurrying to battle with their baggage, that might impede their progress, thrown away, is characteristic in a high degree of the senti ments it conveys. again," is an interesting talc , with a pleasing moral attached to it. We should inform the author how ever that school boys are not in the habit of drowning cacti ct.ber, even though the one may he the other's " fag." Is:cithar are Can - 1 1 16dg men apt to have rat hunts in their rooms; notwithstanding that they can sport their doors, and bribe the college gyp to silence. " The World we Live in" is lively and anecdotical, but, like eternity, has neither beginning nor end. " Lines on Napoleon," by Mr. Simmons, are ver y stately and musical in the flow of their verse , n or less imposing in their sentiments. T he sketch of Madame Mere's Mere's chamber, which is hung round with portri.qts of her illustrious family of Kings and Queens, con tains one striking idea, which. we mark •in italics:— " Her daughters there—the beautiful—looked down in dazzling sheen ; One lovelier than the queen of lov e—one crowned an earthlY queen ! Her sons—the proud—the Paladins ! with diadem and plutnle;, Each bearing on his sceptred arm , m ade em p ire o f that roost` Still more striking is the brief description of Na poleon. The last line in particular is quite Miltonie in the grandeur of its thought " How gleamed that awful countena nce, magnificently stern, In its dark smile and smiting look, what destiny we learn The laurel simply wreathes that brow, while nations %I a tell its nod, As though he scoffed all pomp below the thunderbolts of God " Foreign Military Biography" is an amusing par r —a sort of historiette ; and the article on the " Vo luntary Principle" is better written than reasoned. " Delta" contributes two or three poems worthy of th is lished writer. accom THE CHRISTIAN PHYSICIAN. Palmer and Son, Paternoster-row. There are several articles in the present Number Of this Magazine which deserve, and will well repaY , perusal. That entitled " The Dissenters and Esta blishments" enters boldly into a n examination of the laws which regulate civil an d reli g ious obedience. The author, who is evidently a man o f talent, adduces the conduct of Shadrach, 111:shach, and Abcdnego , in re" fusing to worship Nebuchaci;:czzar's golden image) a s a complete justification of the Dissenters in refusing t° pay Church-rates ; and challenges Any person to paint out a difference in principle between the two case s ' Dr. Harrison's paper, on the practical application of the facts relating to the structure of the spinal column t° l the treatment of diseases , is a very im p ortant one, an will, we trust, attract the attention of medical prO" titioners. COURT MAGAZINE. A carefully engraved portrait of the 'Viscountess Fordwich, the back-ground of which is made up of $ lovely sylvan landscape, forms the leading embellish ment this month. The literary department, as us ual ' is got up with much judgment and taste, consisting of a variety of talcs, essays, &c., of the first of which " Glenbower, or the Bothered Glen" is the best spe cimen. The brief Litt notices of new works at the end of the Number, are drawn p nary skill.

They were of no earthly use, for none bt 4 ladies' maids and servant girls ever pinned their faith on them. NEW MONTHLY. Ele- The first article in this Number, entitled the " me nts of Conversation," is from the pen Of 1 " t " Theodore Hook ; and when we have said thilq , W . have said quite enough to convince the reader that it' shrewd, sprightly, and entertaining. It contains,: more over, one or two allusions to Foote —the Englis Aristophanes as Johnson called him—which Will 1) . read with the greater attention , w he n it is remembered that Hooke himself has to a considerable extent no" delled his farces on those of Foote, and has proved a not unworthy disciple of his master. The brief Nre' moir of Mr. Lister, author of " Granby," does justic e to the talents of a clever novelist. G ranb y is not far behind Pelham in its knowledge of h i g h life in Lon don ; but 'has more repose of manner about it , and, to o ur thinking, more nature. It does not aim at e ffect, but makes its way with the reader by-its just, unex' aggerated portraits of character. " The Yeomanry o f England" is penned in a truly healthy English spirit' " The History of a Radical" contains some strong painting ; but is too unmitigated and immitigable to its prejudices. There is more of fancy than of fact in the umstances of the story. " Tigers and Tigerisol, is se t ign pages thrown away on a subjec t not wort' seven lines. From " Martial in Lond on" we extras one epigram, which insinuates as graceful a ment to Lady Blessington as ever was paid to th e! friends by Pope or Chesterfield :-- " SLAVERY.—AN IMPROMPTU. " Mild Wilberforce, by all beloved, Once owned this hallowed spot, Whose zealous eloquence improved The fettered Negro's lot. Yet here still Slavery attacks Whom Blessington invites, The chains from which he freed the Blacks She rivets on the 'Whites." " 0 " Recollections of Bannister and his Family 9f, amusing enough, but the subject is scarcely of int o ( rest to the existing generation, to whom the nanle Bannister is as much one of tradition as that of Ilebi dcrson—who, as an old play-going friend told tIS t jg other day, was the only Falstethat ever trod the bottleof of an English theatre. In the dramatic article) which this Magazine was once deservedly c elebra t , e r : we find a just and discriminating notice of Mr. I,°of rest, whose " King Lear approaches the thresho lo . poetry. It is a creation of almost imaginative por produced by the truth of a physical and merely b 1 ul ss infirmity. It borders upon the grand, by the felt!cof of its possession of the external signs and show s ute grandeur.
