HIGH-WATEE AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning LONDON: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 123'. The Standard of last night traces the necessity of the Emancipation Act of 1829 to GEORGE IV. being a Prince of infirm mind, who had too much to do in conciliating forbearance towards his pri vate character to imitate the steadiness of his father in discharging his public duties : In 1829 (it says) Ministers saw apathy in England and the threat of rebellion in Ireland—they knew the threat to be fallacious, but they saw in a great division of the empire established " the state bordering upon civil war, which i 3 worse than civil war ;" and they looked in vain to every other quarter for the means of putting an end to the dreadful evil. So our Contemporary has at length come to the . . ' conclusion that what he, with us, calls the overthrow of the Protestant Constitution, could not be helped and, wiser still, he has adopted the maxim of sub mitting to necessity, and is resolved to endure what cann o t be cured. While our Contemporary was philosophizing he might judiciously have extended his researches into the cause of the apathy of the people. No doubt he would soon have discovered that in the neglect, indif f erence, scandalous lives and usurpations of the priesthood. Till the Catholic Emancipation Act made them dread the loss of their supremacy, their conduct had gone far to disgust the nation with Church of Englandism, and make it careless of however, Protestantism. The apathy of 1829 h ad, been preceded by the genuine P rotestantism of 1806, and the still more characteristic Churchrcncohf Englandism of the commencement of the F Revolution. Religious zeal cannot alway s be kept at a red heat, and those who are now exciting it to turn out the Ministers will find it succeeded by a more complete apathy than in 1829. To found a political party intended to be permanent on such a passing fever is the most stupid thing that ever the stupid Tories attempted. 1 Our Contemporary, however, now places all his hopes and all the hopes of his party on Protestant zeal. He deprecates all confidence in oaths and protestation s , in the QUEEN, Lords and Commons, and means to rely exclusively on the Protestant spirit of the people. . He deprecates, therefore, the repeal of the Emancipation Act, and explicitly de clares that " the country can go on without any further change either in 'advance or retrograde." Our Contemporary—erewhile so outrageously ultra, that he was ready, not only to repeal the Emancipa tion Act, but to put the Papists to the sword, breath ing nothing but war and slaughter—is now contented to let things remain as they are. For what purpose then has the Standard, in common with other Tory journals, and in common with many itinerant priests, been for many months fanning the No- Popery prejudice, and using all its exertions to turn out the Ministers, because they have not suspended the Act which the Standard does not want to have repealed? Has such an exuberance of Protestant zeal been poured out only to keep alive the Protestant spirit ? What a poor result of such a prodigious waste of ink and breath. But if the Standard have all at once become moderate, the M'GHEES, the O'SULLIVANS, the GREGGS, the M'NEILEs, and SToWELLS, rave and rant as much as ever, and the declaration of our Contemporary leaves them with no other organ in the daily press than that now wretched tool of priestly malignity, the de graded Times. There is another split in the party, and more converts from the old worn-out dootrines of persecution. The fact, probably, is that the Standard wishes to adapt itself to circumstances, and retrieve, if pos sible, the character of its party. It sees that the disclosures made by the GREGGS and the BRAD-. SHAWS are disgusting all sensible, and alarming all peaceful people, and, to prevent greater mischief, it professes moderation. Let the Tory wolves, however, once again get into the fold, and this lamb-like bleating will soon be changed to growls of pleasure as they resume their old habits of carnage, and again worry and slaughter the flock. If the Times have forgotten its unsparing ex posures of the Pension List, the public have not If Sir JAMES GRAHAM 110 longer remembers the manner in which he shored up the Privy Council, the members of which he said divided amongst them 630,0001. of the public money, the use which Mr. FROST lately made of it distinctly proves that it is yet remembered by the people. If the Times wish to bury in oblivion the lessons it gave on the art of wielding bludgeons and throwing brickbats, the acts of the Chartists will preserve its advice in living remembrance. The truth of its excla mation " we hare too much Church," is continually enforced on the people by the conduct of the clergy. For years it laboured, in conjunction with a host of other rats, such as Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Sir F. BURDETT, Lord STANLEY, &c., to kindle the indignation of the people against our improper and unjust system of taxation—our cruel and injudicious administration of the law— our wasteful and extravagant expenditure—our un equal representation—our negligent and profitless Church, and the usurpations of our landed and titled aristocracy, and then its labours and their labours, having truth and patriotism for their basis, made an ineffaceable impression on the public mind. Nothing has since been done to remove or weaken it. Time has confirmed it, and burnt it, by much suffering, deeper in. No journals, no writers, dare to extol our system ; the Conservatives confine themselves to warning people that their exertions to obtain improvement will probably lead to deterioration. They cannot say that the system of taxation is equitable or judicious ; they dare not affirm that the Church has cared for the people ; they can bring no proofs that the Peers have become considerate and just. Thus the Times and the other rats must have the painful daily con viction that their efforts ripened the discontent and hastened that great change now going on in the timstitution, which they ratted to struggle against , z 4 vain. „,For them to have, smallest chance of success , Itlaiy should alter thatactics. Instead of vilifying tyte Court, they ought to teach that it was the focus of all virtues. Instead of daily abusing the Ministers, calling them boobies and demons, de grading not only the individuals but the class in public estimation, they ought to treat their errors with the greatest leniency, and lament that even statesmen, enjoying the confidence of the Sovereign, can commit faults and errors. Instead of making tkchurch, by encouraging its persecutions and its extravagances, more and more an object of popular hatred, they ought to conceal its faults and counsel moderation. Instead of irritating the people, and _ - making the aristocracy more and more odious by demanding stricter coercion in their name, they ought to reconcile the different classes by fair lan guage, and make the people believe, if possible, that the Lords are their kindest friends and protectors. The rats may depend on it that they will not efface the unfavourable impression of the laws which they contributed to engrave on the" public mind, by daily depreciating the Government—daily repre senting the Tories as thirsting for the blood of the misled people, and daily describing the Court as the scene of improper conduct. The Tories, unless they wish to hasten the overthrow of the Constitution, must change their plan, and must praise the Court, and soothe the people. Great distress is beginning to be felt, we regret to learn, by the workmen in Paisley and other towns in Scotland. A similar calamity is felt at Bolton, Nottingham, and other places ; and as winter approaches, making more comforts necessary, and requiring a greater expenditure, the probability unhappily is that work will be diminished and want increased. Much of that evil would have been spared had the Corn-laws been repealed. It is clear, for example, had the Corn-laws been abolished that a very considerable quantity of wheat and flour would now be imported from the United States to assist in paying the debts of that country, creating an additional demand for labour here, and giving comparatively cheap and abundant food to our peo ple. If amongst the present sufferers there should be any who were forward in opposing last year all exertions for the repeal of the starvation laws, how bitterly will they now have to repent their indiscre tion. At such a time we can make no reproaches, but we hope that at least the distress may now unite all the working manufacturers, as at Sheffield, to demand a total repeal of the Devil's laws. A Hitti Sheriff, which will be found in another column, is a sign that wise principle s of Reform have found their way into the Turkish empire. If the SULTAN can make his officers act up to his lessons, there is an abundance of energy yet i n hi s people to restore his empire to great power and prosperity. We do not see, however, from t h e document, what are the means by which it is to be carried into execution, and state papers destitute of such means are little better than waste paper ; and this will have no influence in lessening the rapacity of the Pachas or the insecurity of the people. We have received through Paris some informa tion from Spain. According to a letter published in the Eco, dated Saragossa, Nov. 19, and signed by the Commandant Chief of the Staff, there is " no doubt that the body which was found in the Segre, near the Col de Nargo, the hands and feet being bound, was the body of the late Count D'ESPAGNE, which has accordingly been interred in this village. The authors of this crime remain as yet undetected, owing to the severe or d ers o f t h e re b e l Ros D'ErtoLEs, who is now a t O rgana , an d w ho has forbidd en a l l persons, on pain of death, to speak of this event." The Restaurader Catalan, the official journal of the Royal (Carli s t) J unta of Catalonia, pub lished at 13erga, contains a d ecree i ssued by the principality Royal Junta Government of the of Ca talonia, declaring that the critical situation in which . - .7*- ' til ~ N - -•••4i - - - .e - ' , • -, , ~AA.P.***Ns 14 4- i 4 4 111r,4_ 1 , k 1 . -_-.;' ) 1. ,- ~ , , 1„,..04,444., Tot: , - .7.1rw. •—._ . _..._. 'A ! (i C A,III+ EYE.NING EDITION. GREAT MEETING in BIRMINGHAM on the subject of the GOVERNMENT POLICE, re cently introduced into this Borough. At one of the largest Meetings of the Inhabitants ever held in the Town Hall, convened this day, at the requisition of up wards of One Thousand Five Hundred Rate-payers, the MAYOR being in the Chair, The following resolutions were passed unanimously : Moved by the Rev. J. MaenoNeLL, and' seconded by Mr. B. ItHIOPEN; 1. That the Birmingham Police Act deprives the authorities of the borough of the important power of appointing and managing their own const ables and police, and places this power in the hands of a Commissioner, who is not responsible to the rate-payers, their representatives, nor the magistracy of the borough, but who is merely an instrument in the hands of the Secretary of State for the time being, and may be removed at pleasure. That this Commissioner has the authority to raise a large force within the borough, and levy rates on the inhabitants fur its support ; and that this force may be armed at discretion, and employed to prevent the inhabitants from exercising the right to assemble for the expression of public opinion. That municipal corporations have been for centuries the nur series and bulwarks of freedom, and that any invasion of their privileges ought to be resisted by every legal ! means, and that, in the opinion of this meeting, this Act is a gross violation of the social and constitutional rights of the people of the empire, and of the inhabitants of this Borough in particular, and a direct insult to the municipal authorities, since the chief value of corporations consists in the appointment and control of police, and the levying and management of local , taxation. That the pretence for the introduction of the Act— the doubtful validity of the Charter—ought to have induced the Ministers to bring in a Bill to confirm the Charter, rather than to introduce a measure to destroy it. Moved by E. BROWN, seconded by J. Fessetr, ; 2. That the people will never be content with a police of any description, whether under the control of an individual, or a body of individuals, until they have the same political privi leges, local as well as general, as are now possessed by the few. Moved by Mr. STURGE, seconded by Mr. S3IITH ; 3. That the object of a police ought to be the prevention and detection of theft, burglary. and other criminal offences ; and for these purposes there is no occasion for the use of mortal weapons, nor for the adoption of military organi zation ; and that the employment of the men as political spies is contrary to the duties of a police. That . the go , yernment force now organized in this borough i s much more kdangerous to the lives and liberties of the i nhabitants than a body of soldiers, because, while they wear the appearance and receive the appellation of police, they have the powers of the military without being under the direction and superintendence of the Magistracy, and are . responsible to no one except the 1 Secretary of State for the time b eing ; thus becoming, in fact, ‘, a second standing army, more ob jectionable to the country than (the ordinary military force. That this meetin g deems it to be a duty w hich it owes to the country to protest against the adop t tion of a system of centralization and espionage, such as is in troduced into this borough, and which, if introduced into the rural districts, will prove more dangerous still to the liberties of the people, as being a tyrannous exercise of power which has hitherto been employed only by the most arbitrary and des potic Governments, and is calculated to alienate the people from their governors, if not to bring the Government of the country itself into disrepute. Moved by Mr. CUTLER, seconded by Mr. MATCHETT ; " That an address to the Queen, and a petition to both Houses of Parliament, embodying these resolutions, be pre pared and presented as early as possible, and that the following gentlemen be appointed a Committee, with power to add to their number, to carry this resolution into effect, and to super intend the general objects of this meeting :—Messrs. Matchett, Cutler, Jennings, Palmer, W. Morgan, Parks, and Corbett. Moved by Mr. PALMER, seconded by Mr. WILLOUGHBY ; 5. That the thanks of this Meeting are due, and are hereby given, to the Town Couneil for their opposition to the Bill, and that they be requested to take all legal and constitutional measures for the repeal of so unjust and arbitrary an Act. Moved by Mr. W. KERKOFF, seconded by Mr. Coaaerr ; 6. That these Resolutions be advertised in the Birmingham Herald, the Morning Chronicle, the Sun, and the Northern I Star. Moved by Mr. BLAILAND, seconded by Mr. HILL ; 7. That a Sub-Committee be formed for the purp,se of waiting on the Mayor and Magistrates who subscribed towards the fund for the London Police, in order to obtain a subscription equal in amount for the sufferers who were injured by the 1 staves and sabres of the said police.

THE S ETN, LONDON, THURSDA Y, LSTOVEMBER 28, i 839. this faithful principality and its gallant royal army are placed have determined " our Sovereign the KING" to relieve Lieutenant-General the Count D'ESPAGNE from the command of this army and the Presidency of the Junta, and to appoint Field Marshal JOSE SEGARRA as his successor in these two offices. The Junta boasts afterwards very much of what is yet to be achieved for Don CARLOS and Spain by his and their means. They will, like their countrymen in general, however, boast more than they will perform. The co-ruling Junta of Cer vara, however, declares that it will accept peace on no other terms than those which will seat their legitimate King on his throne. Madrid papers of the 19th inst. have just been received. They represent the Ministers as bent upon following out the arbitrary system which they adopted when they advised the dissolution of the Cortes. It was hinted that they had determined to have recourse to a series of Royal Ordinances to command the payment of taxes—to gag the press —and, in fact, to employ the army to carry out the coercive measures of the Executive. All officials suspected of favouring the views of the Exaltados were to be changed, and their places filled up by partizans of the Ministry. The Eco assures us that the most extraordinary measures were taken to prevent an outbreak among the citizens. The sen tries were doubled, and numerous bodies of troops stationed within and around the capital. But not withstanding the efforts of the Government, the cities of Cordova, Grenada, Cadiz, Seville, Murcia, and Alicant, adhered to their first resolution not to pay taxes, and those places where taxes were not refused resolved to remit them direct to Es- PARTErtO for the maintenance of the troops en gaged against the Carlists. This must bring on a dreadful financial crisis, if not actually pro duce—what we much fear it will—another re , volution. ESPARTERO was on the 17th, at Mas de las Matas, his division occupying their old position. It was rumoured that CASTELLATE had surren dered to the Queen's troops. ESPARTERO had puhlished a second, order of the day revoking the greater part of the former order for the expulsion of the Carlist families from their homes, and sending them to perish under the walls of IVlo rella and Cantavieja. The following Royal decree for regulating the election of deputies for the Basque Provinces, ap pears in the Madrid Gazette of the 19th inst., being the third day after it received the Royal sig nature : ":ROTAL DECREE. " Art. 1. The provinces of Biscay, Alava, and Gui puzcoa will proceed with the meetings of their Juntas, and the nominations of their respective deputations ; to adopt measures for their internal administration, and the prompt execution of the law of the:2sth of last October; proceeding in all without prejudice to the constitutional unity of the monarchy, as it is stated in that law. The Juntas will meet in those places established by custom or the fueros. " Art. 2. The political chiefs now in power in Gui puzcoa and Biscay shall remain as political corregidors, with the attributes (not judicial) conferred by the fueros, laws, and customs on those who fill these offices in the provinces. " Art. 3. The election of Senators and Deputies for the Cortes shall take place in the three provinces in the manner prescribed by the laws for the rest of the mo narchy. The provincial deputations, elected by direct measures, shall be kept up, but their jurisdiction shall be confined to this question. This integral renewal shall be proceeded with in order that the people dispersed by circumstances and war shall be enabled to take part therein. " Art. 4. The province of Navarre Shall appoint, in the menner established for the provincial deputations, a deputation of seven, which was the former number of Deputies from this kingdom. Each bailiwick shall ap point a Deputy. The two others shall be appointed by the bailiwicks containing the largest population. The attributes .of the deputation shall be the same as those given by the fitcros to the deputations of the kingdom —those which may be compatible with the attributes conferred by the general law on provincial deputations, and those of administration ad interim Government, which belonged to the Council of Navarre, without pre judice to the constitutional unity, as is said in the afore said law of October 25. •' Art. 5. The election of Senators and Deputies for the Cortes shall be carried MI in Navarre in the form prescribed by the general laws for the rest of the Pe ninsula. " Art. 6. The renewing of the municipality shall be effected in the four provinces in the manner prescribed by the fueros and custom. The newly-elected munici palities shall commence their duties on the Ist January, 1840. The nomination of the Alcades shall be carried on gratis in Navarre by the Viceroy. " Art. 7. The Basque provinces, in their general juntas, and Navarre, by their new deputation, shall appoint two or more Deputies, with whom the Gover nor can confer, for the better execution of Art. 2of the law of the 25th of October. " Art. 8. As is stated in the aforesaid law, if any doubts arise as to the execution, the Government may be consulted with, through the medium of the superior authorities of the competent department.

There is very little news in the Paris Journals of Wednesday. The Duke of ORLEANS had arrived in Paris in excellent health, to the great joy of the Royal Family. M. BERENGER, the lawyer, has changed his mind about the Peerage, which he renounced so indignantly. He now ac cepts the " honour," and the electoral college of Valence has been ordered to elect a Deputy in his room. M. Armand Marrast, who was condemned to death by the Court of Peers, had fled to England, and went subsequently to Barcelona, has been given up by the Madrid Government, on the demand of the French Ambassador. The American packet Burgundy arrived at Havre from New York in 16} days. She sailed on the Bth. The papers by the Burgundy had not arrived at Paris on Tuesday. a collection or songs, which were very agreeably set to music by his brother Ernest. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 95.=-w-ilia Majesty has been pleased to admit Mr. H. D. L. Ellinkhery, sen. ns British Vice Consul of the port of Zealand, The market in Dutch Stock was firm to-day, and the prices of all descriptions remained the same as yesterday. East India Five per Cents rose to per cent., in consequence of soma purchases. Shares in the Commercial Company were likewise better, and without much busi ness being done, were t per cent. higher than yesterday. Ardoins, last prices, 235-16ths.—Dutch Papers, N0v.26. BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The King will leave Wies baden in the middle of next week and return to L; e'ten on Saturday the 30th November. The letters from Hamburg contain an important piece of news. It is affirmed that one of the first mercantile houses of that city will open a credit of 10 millions of marks Banco for the Bank of London. The Chamber of Representatives isconvoked for Tues day the 26th, to hear the Report of the Central Section in the Budget of Ways and Means. A letter from Liege to the Independent announces that an inhabitant of that city has lately become a Member of the German Confederation. The Count de Lanno -Ludekerke, nephew of Count de Looz, Prince of Rhine-Waldeck, has just succeeded his uncle n the sovereignty of Waldeck. There were claimants to the succession, but the supreme tribunal at Munster has decided in favour of our fellow citizen, Count de Lannoy, who is according,y declared Prince of Rhine-Waldeck, and Member of the German Confe deration. Those who know Count Lannoy will hear with pleasure this sudden and unexpected accession of fortune (a subsequent account corrects an error in the above). Count L nnoy has been recognised as heir to the Principality of Rhine-Waldeck, allotted as an in demnity to Count de Looz ; but that principality is mediatised, and therefore gives no rank in the German Confederation. VIENNA, Nov. 17.—Prince Paul Esterhazy is very shortly expected back front London. A Transylvanian paper announces, under the head of Gallacz, Oct. 21, that the steam-boat Galatea had brought the news from Silistria, and the plague had broken out in the village of Babeck, some leagues from that town, and had carried off eleven persons before any official information could be given.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—We continue to have a dull market for Cotton to-day, the sales are 3,000 bags, the prices without any positive de cline, and have a tendency downwards. A memorial to the Right Honourable the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, from the merchants, &c. and others concerned in the trade with the river Plate, now lies in the Liverpool Exchange Room for signature. The object the merchants have in view is to call the at tention of the Government to the blockade of Buenos Ayres, and recent landing of a French armed force at Monte Video. The Batavier steamer has arrived, bringing the Dutch papers of the 26th November. Dutch prices—Two and-a• Half per Cents., 511 to 0-16 ; Five per Cents., 981 ; Arduin's Spanish, 23 5-16. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of the 27th inst., which gives the Belgian Budget for the year 1840. 'lle expenses for the year 1840 amount to, according to the Government statement, the sum of 101,312,335 f. 94c. By the above expose it is easy to perceive that we must not expect any reductions of consequence in the future Budgets. The recounts from Amsterdam state that money is very easy at 4} per cent. The Five per Cents. come per cent. higher, and the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. per cent. lower. On the 12th of November the winter set in at St. Petersburg ; the communication with the various parts of the town was interrupted by the floating ice. Our arrivals this morning are few in number. The Continental intelligence chiefly relates to the affairs of the East. It now appears that the differences between Egypt and Turkey are on the point of being adjusted, as both parties seem to agree with the proposed plan of the allied Powers for a reconciliation.

The models of the English certificates to be delivered h a ving been considered, the board of quarantine has sent the necessary instructions to Elsinore. Hitherto ships laden with infected or suspected goods were re• quired to be examined at Elsinore by the Board of Quarantine, and then if it was judged necessary, to perform quarantine at the island of Leproe ; but now English ships furnished with certificates from the quarantine officer at Stangate Creek, Milford Haven, and Prombe Pool, need only to have the certificates counter-signed by the Danish quarantine Board in order to pass the Sound, and to be admitted in the Prussian and Russian ports in the Baltic, the two Governments being satisfied with the above regulations. The Russian Government, however, requires that the Danish quarantine officer shall give a separate certificate, declaring that sus pected goods, suc h as cotton an d t h e lik e, which are susceptible of infection, have been purified at one of the above-mentioned English stations, without which separate certificates the English certificates will not be regarded.

Prince Albert has a happy talent f or poetry, and had published at Bonn for the benefit of the poor I TIIE WEATIIER.—The proverbial changeable ness of the climate of England has never been more fully illustrated than within the present week. The temperature which during Monday was remarkasly mild, with rain:during the night, had on Tuesday morn ing sunk to 36 degrees, being only within four degrees owar_ r s evening the f oot i all hi s sp l en d our . d above freezing p o i nt , w i t h the wind south-west. I n the course of th e morn i ng the clouds, which h a d pre obscured t h e s k y c l eare d of; and the sun s h one r._ pf v o i a o r:,. o ch sy n n ents and paths became perfectly dry, and when evening set in the stars shone in the cloudless heaven with uncommon brilliancy, and about ten o'clock the moon rose, as it is termed, "on her back," betokening , a frosty night. At an early hour on Wednesday morning the thermometer in the open air stood at '24 de g ree s , being eight degrees below freezing point, the pools being coated with ice a third of an inch thick, and the trees, &c., covered with hoar frost. During the early part of the morning the wind was south-west, but about eight o'clock, a dense fog came on, during which, about ten o'clock, the wind shifted to the west, from which quarter it continued to blow during the do). The fog in the city up to eleven o'clock was so dense that business was almost at a stand, and the gas in the shops, &c., was lighted. About that hour, however, the fog began to clear off, although it still continued very thick in the suburbs, particularly westward. About half-past one o'clock a sudden change took place in the temperature, the thermometer rising to 40 de grees, and shortly afterwards it commenced raining, which after a quarter of an hour became intermingled with large flakes of snow. That continued at intervals during the afternoon until five o'clock, when a soaking rain descended, which continued without intermission the whole of the night. FIRE IN CIIANDOS-STREET.—ThiS morning a few minutes before ten o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the back hay, straw, and corn-warehouses be longing to Mr. Randall, corn-merchant, residing at No. 60, Chandos-street, Covent-garden. The engines were quickly got into operation, the hoses were carried through narrow passages, and there being an excellent. supply ofu,stci,LLe fir,; was extinguiziled by o'clock. In consequence of the dulness of trade at Paisley, Dunfermline, and Dundee, great numbers of workmen have beea thrown out of employment. The Dunfermline trade, the table-linen cloth manuf a ctur e , is greatly depressed, owing to the embarrassed state of the money market in the United States. At Paisley subscriptions have been made for the relief of the unem ployed workmen and their families. The number at Dundee is said to amount to nearly 2,000. The Commerce Beige states that a report pre vails of a merchant at Brussels, who is going to be married to a young July of Frankfort on the Maine, daughter to a rich banker, whose fortune is to be 100,000 florins. It was M. Lebeau, Envoy Extraordi nary to the German Confederation, who negociated the marriage. Both are Jews.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE EARL OF STAMFORD. This case, which relates to the regulation of certain charities in Manchester, was postponed till Saturday with the concurrence of Sir Charles Wetherell. The COURT then proceeded to hear original causes, his Lordship having disposed of all the appeals that were ready for hearing. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS I)AY.) NEWLAND V. HOLMES. Mr. JAMES RUSSELL applied in this case ex-parte for a special injunction to restrain the defendants from taking out execution against the separate property of the pldntiff. Tile plaintiff, who is the wife of a gen tleman named Newland, under her father's will became possessed of certain leasehold houses in West-square for her own separate use, and not liable to the debts and control of her husband. Since her marriage the plaintiff and her husband had resiced in one of tlw houses, the furniture in which it was sworn by the plaintiff had been derived under her father's will, sub ject to the seine conditions as the leasehold pro perty. An action of trespass had been brought against the husband of the plaintiff, and in that action erdict for 2001. damages had been returned, to re cover which the defendants were about to take out exe cution against the separate property of the plaintiff, and to restrain him from doing this was the object of the present application. His HONOUR immediately granted the injunction. The COURT the❑ proceeded with motions. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) MERRY V. CHAPMAN. In this case an individual named Wright, who was in the custody of the Marshal of the Queen's Bench at the suit of the plaintiff, was scared to go beyond the rules, and was there arresi_ed by the plaintiff, who detained him and brought an action against the Marshal for allowing the prisoner to escape. It was pleaded on behalf of the defendant that the plaintiff had conspired to get the prisoner beyond the r al f! 4, in order that he might have ground of action against i!le Marshal, and compel him to pay the debts, and on this ground a verdict was given for the defen &int. A new ti-:t1 was afterwards moved for on behalf of the plaintiff, and a ;Pie granted, not distinctly proved that The Cotrar thought it way the plaintiff had got the prisoner out of the rules for the: purpose alleged, and therefore made the e absolute. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS D.Q.Y. Sittings at Nisi Prius before the Lord Chief Baron.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BOND.-SPECIAL JURY. INGENIOUS MODE OF SMUGGLING. Mr. Jaavis (with whom was Mr. Cavile) stated the nature of the case. This was an information filed by the Attorney , General against the defendant, Mr. Bond, who was charged with being concerned in the illegal removal of a quantity of foreign brandy, the duty being unpaid. There were several other counts charging him with h irbouring and concealing the brandy. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state that there was a considerable difference between the amount of duty payable on brandy and on French wine, the duty on the former being 11. 2s. Gd, per gallon, and on the latter ss. Gd., and therefore if any person could succeed in passing brandy nominally as wine he would obtain a considerable advantage over the fair trader, and serious loss would be sustained by the revenue. It was for so doing that the present charge was preferred against the defendant, who was the chief steward of the London and Havre Steam Packet Company, On the 6th of October six hogsheads arrived in the Kent steamer from Boulogne, consigned to a person named Smith, by which name the defendant Bond was known. These hogsheads were deposited in the Queen's warehouse. On the 13th October a prime entry was made for six hogsheads of French wine, the de fendant being present at the time under a a feigned name ; the entry being made by a person named M‘Laren, who was acting as agent for the defendant. On the same day it was the duty of the gauger to ascertain the contents of the hogshead, and accordingly Baxter, the officer, accompanied by a per son named Knowledge started the bungs, and tasted each. The first fire appeared to be what they had been represented, namely, French wine, but on tasting the sixth, Baxter found it be brandy. Upon this discovery, the defendant represented that his agent abroad had made a mistake in sending brandy instead of wine, He was informed that the brandy must be seized, but if he petitioned the Board he would probably obtain per mission to re-export it. On the same day the defendant employed a carman to remove the five casks, but some mistake having arisen as to the numbers, the carman was ordered to attend next day which he did, the defendant, in the name of Gibbons, having attended to rectify the mistake. The five casks were on the 14th delivered to the carman, in the presence of the defendant, who directed him to drive to Thames -street, and there wait for further orders. He was afterwards ordered to drive to Water-lane, and thence to an obscure place in the neighbourhood of Smithfield, where he was met by the defendant Bond, and two persons named Shillibere and Collins. The hogsheads were left there. On the 16th three of them were removed to King's-place, Camden Town, in presence of the de fendant. Some information having been obtained by the officers of Customs, they went to that place, and found a large vat filled with brandy, and some casks also con taining brandy, which they seized. In consequence of the same information they went to the warehouse, and examined the sixth hogshead, in which they found a tube inserted under the bung, which passed from one side of the cask to the other. This tube no doubt had originally contained wine, which having leaked out, had been replaced by some of the brandy from the cask. The officers again proceeded to Camden Town, where they found several portions of tubes corresponding with that found in the cask left in the warehouse. He (Mr. Jarvis) had not the least doubt of being able to make out the case to the satisfaction of the Jury. He in tended to call Collins, one of the accomplices, to whose testimony they would of course only give credence so far as it was corroborated by that of the other witnesses. The Learned Gentleman then called several witnesses to prove his opening statement. Mr. HUMFREY then addressed the jury on the be half of the defendant, submitting that the evidence was not conclusive that the vat at Camden Town contained any part of the contents of the casks removed from the warehouse on the 14th Oct., and that the defendant was not sufficiently connected with them, except bythe evidence of Collins, who was not entitled to credit. On these grounds, therefore, he trusted the verdict would be for the defendant, to whom the Jury were bound to give the benefit of any doubts which might exist in the case. Mr. JARVIS then replied, after which his Lordship summed up the evidence, and the Jury retired to con sider their verdict. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. ATTEMPTING TO EXTORT MONEY.—John Crane, a soldier, aged 24, was indicted for feloniously threaten ing to accuse Frederick James Clark of an infamous crime, with intent to extort money from him. The Jury found him guilty, and Mr. Baron PARKE sentenced him to two year? im prisonment with hard labour. ROBBERY IN THE BURLINGTON ARCADE.—Henry Jones, aged 21, was indicted for feloniously entering the dwelling-house of John Cheeks, and stealing seven teen umbrellas, and nineteen whips, value 201., his pro perty. The prisoner was found by the servants of the prose cutor on the eighth of this month in the prosecutor's shop in the Burlington Arcade, with the property in his possession, and the padlock of the outer door was found forced. The Jury found him Guilty, and Mr. Justice Bo- SANQUET sentenced him to ten years' transportation. CHARGE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—.SamueI Butcher was indicted for stealing one shilling and fourpence from the person of James Cooper. The prosecutor, who is a servant of a horse-dealer, was at Lewisham on Sunday last, and met the prisoner at the Roebuck public-house. He said he was going to Hampstead, and the prisoner offered to accompany him. They accordingly set off in company with some women, when the prisoner threw his left arm round prosecutor's waist, put hi s r ight hand into h is p ocket, a takeno one, they and robbed him of oac shilling and twopen ce, which he handed to one of the women. He left the p art y , a nd i ng 2ired for a policeman ; and, on went in p r eviously been into p z:rsuit of the prisoner,and meeting he w a custody. The prosecu t o r had p tal • with one of the wpm. n• defence,_ con t en d e d t h at there rn Mr. PAYNE, for th e was not evidence sufficient to convict the t pr d isoner, as the prosecutor's testimony Mr. Baron PAR KE summed up, and the a ju e ry brought in a verdict of Guilty. Judgment was deferred in order to make inquiries as to the prisoner's character. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—George Brow», alias Win. Hill, was indicted for stealing, on the 25th inst., fifty-six sovereigns, a gold watch and wat , , L i vard, the property of William Benn. Mr. (51....nic505, who appeared for the prosecution, said that both the prisoner and the prosecutor had re cently arrived from America, and tilat the prosecutor had saved up some money for the purchase of carpen ters' tools, it being the intention of the prisoner and prosecutor to set up in business as carpenters in America, and that they had come to this country to make the necessary purchases. The Learned Counsel then de tailed the facts of the case as they appeared in evidence. William Benn—Came to England lately from Arne .: r " , liTarnplei , d by tb!- pris-,nor, with him, auu the prisoner said he could get money from his friends in I PRUSSIAN FUNDS.—Beaux, Nov. 21.

THE BISHOP AND THE MINISTER.—We have long been convinced that one of the worst features in the policy of the Ministers is their continued and al most unceasing professions in Parliament of attach ment, deference, and respect, for the Church of Eng land, while the great bulk of the priesthood are their open, avowed, and determined enemies. If they ever hoped to conciliate the black legion, they ought now at least to be convinced that the hope was vain. For years they have made the attempt, and every year, from the resistance made to the appoint ment of Dr. Hampden to Oxford, has only added to the indignities and insults which the priesthood and their allies have heaped on the Ministers. At length the Bishop of Exeter, acting up to his character and to the attributes of his order, has laid hold of an ex pression of the Marquis of Lansdowne, and held him up to public odium as an unbeliever. He im plies the Marquis has no " lively, abiding, practical sense of the blessed truths which the word of God has revealed to us ;" and utters a prayer for his improvement in spiritual knowledge. Though the public cares not one straw for any assertion made by the political pamphleteer, nor places any reli ante on any fact stated by the Bishop Inquisitor, yet the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Lord President of the Council, one of the Ministers, because he makes great professions of attachment and deference to the priesthood, has been obliged to defend him self against this contemptible accusation of a most contemptible, political, pamphelteering prelate. This is fit retribution, which we rejoice to see, because there is more probability—such is the selfishness of our nature—now when the ecclesiastical vulture has scatched a Marquis and a Minister, that its claws will be duly clipped, than when it had o nly torn out the vitals of John Thorogood. THE NEWARK ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Newark, Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1839. Being quite sure that your readers throughout the kingdom will be anxious to know what are the prospects of success on the part of the Solicitor- General (Mr. Sergeant Wilde), as resulting from the present state of his canvass, I am happy to in form you that the firmest reliance on his re-election may be indulged. He is universally popular; his long connection with the borough, and attention to its interests ; his distinction as a Parliamentary debater ; his advocacy of the Ballot, as to which there are strong grounds for feeling here ; his Li beral politics generally ; all render him a great fa vourite with this constituency. The Tories are active, very ; but it won't do : their day is past for returning two Members for Newark.

He has lately returned from Egypt, and is preparing for publication the results of his professional tour through the domi nions of Mehemet Ali. On the health of Mr. Ro berts being given, he made the following statement respecting the Government of that extraordinary man. " Such was now the Government of that country, that travelling was very nearly as safe as in England (the desert wag certainly an exception)." He stated as a gra tifying fact, " that when leaving the Governor of Jeru salem, and returning his warm thanks for the kindness he had met with in the furtherance of his pursuits, that officer remarked—' in ;Awl despatch I receive from Mehemet Ali, he recommends to fl notice and protec tion every European who may visit my sphere of go vernment, but more especially, and more warmly, every Englishman, and all that I may do falls short, I fear, of what the Pacha requires.'
